W. L. • i f r II • •• ii •• • " • • • Right now 5000 thousand students from all over the world are meeting at Geneva, Switzerland, ..on that common ground to lay the fuonda-lions for an international fellowship among the nations in the''university world. Forming what is termed "Union Internationale des „ Estudientes". these thousands of students have designated Geneva to be a world center for the "advising" of higher learning. And what better place is there to study history, and this newer history of the future, than at Geneva? The offices of the Secre-ariat are crowded with students, eager to learn the pros and cons of complex political and social problems that are handled by eminent representative men and women of every nation. The International Labor Office attracts a considerable number of students who also have a marked interest in questions of economics and industry. Visiting statesmen are willingly at their call for special lectures, and the libraries and archives of t h e city are teeming with documents and source materials that hear upon the immediate tomorrow. Viscount Cecil, in a recent lecture to a group of student'members of the union, said: "What the world needs, is. an international mind, capable of seeing and appreciating the other nation's point of view. Cultivate this mind in youth of the world and the future will be free from w a r s . " ' ; ' ^ - 'r Today attitudes are different. In Europe student opinion has come to be regarded as a significant factor in the moulding of public opinion, and these responsible undergraduates are doing he thinking for t h e next generation—visualizing the - future—blueprinting the trends of tomorrow. And they are able to do this all t h e more because they are thrown into such informal contact with one another, not only in Geneva, but in the other university centers ..of the world. W. S. N.

(G. S.) According to rule seven, the committee has decided to extend the all-school song contest to February 1, 1930. It was seen that there has not been suitable time for everyone to compete in the two months given over to the contest; many people have complained of the shortness of time, and, and they expressed it, "I think I might write one if I had more time." The reason the committee has taken the step is because of their purpose to obtain a song which is not only representative of the traditions of the school but one which is a piece of art, something noble and worthy to be handed down to future generations of Normal students. It is recognized that to do this requires effort on the part of poets and composers of our school; hence the contest has been extended. Poems Only Accepted This leaves ample time and opportunity for every one to try his hand at a song during the next ten months. Remember it is not necessary for you to write both the words and the music. If the committee should receive some excellent piece of poetry they will see to it that it is set to appropriate music and the reward will be divided accordingly. There are two kinds of songs that may be submitted— a loyalty or activity song, which will be judged according to their merit by the judges as to appro-priatness, nobility of thought, and other literary qualities. Some Songs Received Those who have already contributed songs are: Philip Davis, who submitted three songs, "The Viking's Day," "Sea Rover's Song," and "Viking Battle Song;" Mrs, G. R. Olson, "Hail Bellingham;" Anonymous, "The College by the Sea"; Curthie Foster Brown submitted one song and Ethel Boynton and'Clarence Thue are both expected to offer contributions. — o Miss Lillian George, library cataloguer has recently filed several hundred new pictures in the files located in the conference room. These are of value to students in regular courses and are especially useful to student teachers. Miss Mable Wilson plans to attend the annual banquet of the Seattle chapter of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. The banquet is to be given this coming Saturday, April 26. o — Ford Returns from Bookstore Dealers' California Conference Having returned last week-end from Los Angeles and San Francisco, where he attended conferences of College add Retail Bookstore dealers, Sam Ford, manager of the Students' Co-op, declared that the trip had proved to be a successful one. "Dealers from all over the Pacific Coast were in attendance," Mr. Ford declared. "And we had a chance to discuss our mutual problems and work toward solutions for them: I think that it will be possible for us to make several improvements that will further the interest of the student body in making the Co-op a place of real service." Although Mr. Ford was unwilling to comment at length on the proposed changes that will be effected in the bookstore, he declared that several developments may be announced next week, and asked that the readers of the Viking be urged to follow the new series of advertisements which will start in an early issue. o DANCE OF DREAMS IS FINAL INFORMAL Last Women's League Dance to be Presented This School Year Will Be Held Next Friday, May 3.

The spring informal is the last dance this group of girls will have an opportunity to give, and they promise it will be a gala affair. The Dance of Dreams is the theme being carried out in the decorations. The dining room at Ed-ens hall will be transformed into a dream-room with blues and wisteria hung in green guaze. Curtis' Orchestra Jay Curtis' orchestra will furnish the music for the dance. The music is planned to correspond with the idea of the dance. Programs for the dance are to be hand painted. They fit in very nicely with the scheme of the affair. Katherine Rood, who. is in charge of- the programs, has been assisted by the other girls of the committee in the preparation of programs. Over one hundred and forty girls signed up for the dance, but of the number only one hundred and ten can attend. In regard to this subject, Catherine Morse, chairman of the dance, said: "I regret that some girls must be disappointed in not being able to attend this informal, for as space in the dining room is exceedingly limited and there is no other place available. Hence the number of couples who can be comfortably accommodated must be limited accordingly." Girls on the various committees have been working hard to put the afair over. Johnny Byrnes is to be. host of the dance. —o " Sweepstakes Awarded Mount Vernon High Nineteen silver loving cups were awarded to the winners of^the different events and two large cups were, given . to the winners of. the sweepstakes prizes in the annual Northwest Washington High School music contest, sponsored by the Bellingham Normal school, with Harold B.

H. Fisher voiced the belief that next year the Normal school will have the strongest faculty in its history when he announced that ther will be about twelve new instructors, including those to be chosen to fill the places of teachers resigning and given leaves of absence. Most of the faculty for 1929-30 were elected Monday night by the trustees, Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman; Judge Noah Shakespeare, of Everett, and Walter B. Whitcomb. Four teachers did not apply again for positions . Research Director President Fisher says that among the places to be filled is the post of director of research, which was occupied by Frank S. Salisbury, who resigned several months ago to take a position with the University of Ohio. E. A. Bond, head of the mathematics department, will return to the school next summer quarter. He is at Columbia University working for his Ph. D. and has practically completed his work with the exception of his thesis. His place here has been filled since last September by Otto G. McDonough. .

"Quid sit futurum eras, fuge quaerere"; In this great Northwest, true to that quotation from Horace, there is no telling what the morrow will bring, but we hope it won't Be rain. ....Rain has twice interrupted our baseball games, but tomorrow the Norseman will probably play the University of Washington Frosh on a dry and sunny field with ninety per cent of the Normal student body rooting for the home team. That is our hope anyway. The Vikings have a good, fighting team this year according to reports, and should make the game an exciting one. We'll see you there on Waldo field tomorrow afternoon, 2:30. OUR P A R T IN T H E F E S T I V AL It is the job of the representatives of the student body, the Board of Control, to decide the Normal's part which is to be played very soon in the Tenth Annual Tulip Festival of the City of Bellingham. The concensus here relative to his annual fete has been since and including the last year, a wise one. No candidate has been sponsored by Bellingham Normal for two years, not Because of recent inability to put a candidate across, but because of the very opposite nature of a festival of this kind as related to a professional instituion. On the contrary, the Normal has often met with gratifying success in regard to Tulip Queen activities. The Board has considerations to make however. A parade-float, accompanying marchers, clean-up activity, decorations, are all important activities to decide on as a helping contribution to commemorate a decade of this great Norhwest's prosperity, which is relatively basic to our own well-being. Meanwhile, time has gone on. Thirty years have passed and Bellingham Normal may use this year to celebrate her thirtieth birthday anniversary. No better time, when in this noon-time of life, could be given over to the laying of a milestone. May 6 is Viking Vodvil; May 7 is Campus Day; May 8 is just plain Wednesday; but, May 9, 10, and 11, are the three days of the Tulip Festival. Hail, Vikings, Hail! A great jubilant week is at hand! — G O R D O N W. LEEN. S P R U C E U P — M E N ' S CLUB! Where there's life there's hope. Conversely it must be true that where there is no life there is no hope. Now the Men's club which was organized behind these portals many moons ago needs a whole lot of hope. And may the reader, if a male, also look deeper into the equation. You have found it? True enough—there is no life—then it is dead, plain dead. But to bie constructive, it is the suggestion of a well known faculty man to invite leading men of Bellingham to give us worth-while talks and entertainments. And, mayhap a smoker or two would be in order. The other normals with any male population at all give boxing entertainments. Local talent is available—that is a promise. If the club would have reason to exist, let's have interesting action from its executives very soon. — G O R D O N W. LEEN. H A I L ! T H E V I K I N G VODVIL The tryouts went big last night, and it is apparent that Randy Ob-erlatz is lining up a real bill for the Viking Vodvil. Coming as it does just Before the hard stretch at the finish of the quarter, and just before the celebration that accompanies campus day, Vodvil night will prove an opportune time' for everybody to relax and indulge in a lot of good clean fun. So, whether you are to be one of the little girls on the stage that night, who is wondering whether her voice will be heard clear to the back of the big gt; auitorium, or whether you are just going to be one of the faces out there in the crowd, why not loosen up and give Randy a big hand before the curtain goes up, so that his show will be assured the support it deserves when the players hit the boards? •, . —R. C. OUT OF THE PAST BOOK REVIEW "Scarlet Sister Mary" by Julia Peterkin; The Bobbs-Merrill Co., publishers, Indianapolis, 1928. The black folk who live at Blue Brook Plantation are tall and strong and have heads "filled with sense." They have been there since slavery days, shifting for themselves and earning a living on the land that ; had belonged to their masters before the Civil War. Their black community has grown up—a village in itself inhabited by once negro i;; slaves, and their children and their ^children's children. ^•/%'It'was in this village that Mary i;?i';grew- up '"like a weed;" it was here £;that iMary worked in the fields; it li;was^ here :that Mary's carefree laughter mad? every day bright with that Mary loved a man; that Mary married that man and brought everlasting sorrow and disgrace to herself. Julia Peterkin, the author of "Black April," gives us a slice of negro life filled with negro superstitions and taboos. Ignorance and superstition withered and ruined the brain and ate out the heart of "Scarlet Sister Mary." Julia Peterkin has a quaint style that flows along in a pleasant way, filled with human understanding and darky philosophy. The problems of the negro and their lives are as complicated as those of whites. Julia Peterkin has given us that in both "Black/April Thirty Years Ago BELLINGHAM NORMAL OPENED ITS DOORS IN THE YEAR 1899, WITH AN ENROLLMENT OF NINETY - FIVE STUDENTS. THE FOLLOWING JUNE SIX YOUNG LADIES RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS. THE FACULTY WAS COMPOSED OF SIX MEMBERS. ALL OF THEM HAD CLASSES, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, DR. E. T. MATHES. Students were slightly handicapped for room accomodations as only four houses were then built on this part of High street. if it * * The first dormitory which was built two years after the Normal opened, was twenty-four by thirty-six feel. It was built opposite Mrs. Higginson's home but Was mooed a few years later to the site of old Edens Hall. STUDENTS WERE FORCED TO WALK FROM THE CORNER OF OAK AND HIGH, FOR ONLY IN SUMMER TIME COULD CARRIAGES COME FARTHER. The Normal sidewalk was built the first year. It began at the corner of Oak and Garden, ran up Oak to High, up High to Mrs. Hig-ginson's and from there diagonally across the swamp to the entrance of the building. The swamp extended from the other end of Waldo Field, around in front of the school building, and out to the present site of Edens hall. It was filled with soil from beyond the Edens hall site and with that of a hill which Was lowered. i gt; * * « The hill, which ends abruptly on Cedar between High street and the Normal drive, used to reach across directly in front of the main building. A little pond stood on the left side of the walk which was built high in front of the building and for some distance out. Mr. Kibbe once fell into the pond and for years after it was called "Kibbe Lake." Considering such incidents, the faculty always carried lanterns when they came to eight o'clock classes on dark winter mornings. There were forty pupils in the Training school. The nurse's office and the room just oppisite, now a locker room was then the gymnasium. The middle room of the old library, the only room finished on the second floor, was the auditorium. A reception was held the first of the year. Governor John R. Rogers was to speak but refused because the auditorium was so crowded that people could not make themselves comfortable. High street was not open in front of the Normal. The best that could be said for it was that it was a log-strewn trail. The supply of wood for the Normal had to be hauled during the summer months because the road was so bad. o THEATJRJEWS Jimmy Spencer, a native of Hawaii, who plays the role of an Eskimo teamster in the Fox films' production, "The Sin Sister", was formerly head of the Fox transportations service.

Axelson Is High Point Man of the Contest. The final total of the points made in the inter-class meet of Thursday and Friday gave the Sophomores a score of 77 to 53 markers for the Preshmn. Clarence Axelson, Sophomore, was high point man with 14 tallies. Axelson placed first in the 220 and 440, second in the mile and third in the 100-yard dash. The surprise event of the meet was the win of Carboneau in the mile run. The time, 4:57, was not remarkable, but the run showed that Carboneau has endurance and fair form. Another Frosh, O'Flyng, in running second to Brinkman in the two mile showed that he had good running style, but needed a faster pace. Bay Wins Pole Vault Curtis Bay, Frosh, did the expected in winning the pole vault. In taking a second in the pole vault and a third in the half mile, Eagan, Freshman, showed that he is a potential point winner. By running the two mile in 10:38.4 Brinkman made better time than last year's Tri-Normal winner. Given a fair chance, Brinkman seems likely to place this year at Cheney. Judging from the' results of the meet the squad is very weak in the hurdles, high jump and shot. Hemmi, sprint star, has decided to go in for the low hurdle event, but so far very few candidates for the high sticks have appeared. Capable men must be found for these events if the Viking track squad expects to hold its own in competition. Results of the meet were as follows: 220-yard dash: Axelson, S, first; Cox, S, second;, Hamilton, J, third. Time, 23.6. - Mile: Carboneau, F, first; -Axelson, S, second; Adkinson, J, third.

WHATCOM HIGH NINE WIN SECOND TIME Hard Hitting Aggregation of High School Players Beat Vikings in ^Practice Game, Tuesday Evening. • Still another time the Vikings bowed before the hard hitting Whatcom high school nine, in a seven-inning practice game on Waldo field Tuesday evening. The Vikings gathered up four runs in the first three innings, and then went runless for the next four. The Whatcom lads garnered their first run off Thorlakson in the second inning when they bunched three, hits, but did not score again until the fourth frame when they gained two more runs, principally on Viking errors. Then in the seventh stanza, they gathered two more runs off Thorlakson and his teammates, to win the fray five to ^foiir. •••.'.'•'• '••••;'• '^'^Thls: is theysecond.:;tin gt;e.';'.-the/Red^ j S k ^ h a v e d W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE CRAM HEADS TENNIS Best Racquet Wielders Meet Next Week and Some Fast Games Are (Promised by Coach Sam Carver. We see that the Sophomores, with the help of the upperclass-men, won the inierclass track meet last week. The relay was a revelation to the coach who is looking for some fast quarter mile material. * * * With the advent of real spring Weather last Week, there Was some good time made in the runs. Most outstanding in the longer runs was the time in the mile. Bobby Carboneau is going to make it tough for runners in that division. In the shorter runs, Axelson made the best itme when he ran the 220 in a little over 23 seconds. In all some good material was uncovered which should prove very valuable to the 1929 track squad. These balmy spring fever days are making the tennis courts a very much frequented spot. Between those who play for fun and those who have classes in the net sport there is very little chance for the professionals to show their stuff. However, the tournament players such as Joe Hermsen, Keplin-ger, Ham Church, Cordon Leen, and some of the other celebrities, manage to find a vacant hour occasionally in which they pound a few balls back and forth across the net, and call it a tournament match.

On Thursday,.April 18, about 4 p. m. the editor, staff writers, advisor, and printers forgot their worries. In the seclusion of Miller Sutherlen's print shop, they conferred the time honored rites of initiation upon eight cub reporters. Heads Written The first hour was spent writing heads and in speculating upon the possible return of one member who had been sent out to buy refreshments. When, contrary to expectations, he returned, the business of initiation was taken up. It is rather unique to be initiated in a dark underground passage and the initiates will not soon forget it. Nor will they lt; forget their introduction to those interesting little creatures.. the type-lice, which flourish in print shops. Thousands of type-lice were driven from their peaceful homes among the type for the benefit of the cubs. However, the type-lice failed to discriminate between initiates and the others so the old members suffered, too. Hot dogs and coffee were served and the excitement continued until -it was suggested that everyone set to and clean up the shop, at which the party broke up and the members quickly dispersed.

Much consternation has been felt during the past two months over the decrease in the daily receipts at the cafeteria Each week has shown a smaller cash income than the last, and Mrs. Day, the manager, has been working on several theories but without results. Wednesday " afternoon a Viking reporter discovered the real solution to the problem: A reducing contest has been entered into by several of the more reducible lady members of our faculty. Each contestant puts up a dollar a week, and at the end of a four weeks period, the one losing the most takes all. None has proved herself to be the champion "good loser" yet as the two previous four weeks periods have been won by two different people. The present contest, however, will probably decide the issue, and all contestants are in high hopes of winning Another member of the faculty has been chosen to hold the.stakes (or should one say steaks?) and the third contest is well under way All we can say, since it is such a weighty proposition, is, "May the best loser win." r f f '—i-. ^O '• BARTON HOME BITS ;::';f Ruth-•Evans,, spent the week-end at hervhome in Seattle.

Owing to the shortened time, some of the program had to be omitted, but the songs that were given were enthusiastically received. Grieg- Favorite "To Brune Oine" and "Margaretes Vuggesang", by Edward Grieg, were unusually lovely. They were sung in Norwegian, Miss Wiiks' native tongue, and were splendid examples of her ability in artistic expression. 'The Lass with a Delicate Air," by Michael Arne; "Rain" by Pearl G. Curran, and "A Birthday", composed the last group of songs. Besides the beauty of her voice, the quaint personal beauty and foreign charm of the singer will remain always in the memory of those who heard her. o Sunday evening, Miss Adele Jones Jones, dean of women and who is now filling the place of Miss Johnson as social director of Edens Hall, entertained her group-at table with a waffle supper in her apartment, at Edens Hall at 6:30. Solemn indeed was the situation in the eighth grade of the Training school, April 22 of this week, during the trial of the School Service club, plaintiff vs. Jack Joly and Leslie. Higginbottom, defendants. Information filed in the Superior court on Monday, April 15, contained the charge of non-compliance with an agreement with the Service club to arrange, at regular intervals, pictures, cartoons, clippings and other forms of informational matter on the bulletin board in connection with their study of the social sciences. Prosecuting Attorney Virginia Penney conducted the proceedings ably, while John Oliver, attorney for the defense, also proved himself a worthy member of-the legal profession. The prisoners sat calmly observant, now and then displaying a flippant attitude and marked lack of respect for the court. After due deliberation, the verdict of the jury was delivered, and the defendants found guilty. Judge Ronald Vanstockum pronounced the sentence, committing the youthful prisoners to perform their bulletin board duties without assistance. o . M'COLLUM HOUSE , Dorothy J. Rutherford visited in Seattle and was at her home in Tacoma for the week-end. Jessie Dunckley spent the weekend in Seattle and Centralia. Rose Brooks was the guest of Elisabest Doust, of Anacortes.

The Misses Krueger and Hopkins are teaching at the Whitney school in Anacortes. o VODVIL TRYOUTS Arthur Cram and Lyle Summers wound up a successful debate season by defeating Seattle College by a decisive margin in Seattle, April 5. The question was Resolved; That trial by jury should be substituted for trial by judges. No point was to be made over the number of judges. It was a cross examination and cross question type of debate which proves so interesting to the audience and makes it necessary for the participants to be thoroughly familiar with their subject in order to refute direct questions. Cram and Summers created quite a sensational innovation by debating extemporaneously, using no notes whatsoever, even in the rebuttal. Father Edwards, coach of the team of the sectarian institution, paid them the tribute of being the "best prepared and" informed debaters he had seen in action." Won Many Decisions A summary of the forensic season show highly commendatory results for our representatives. The men of the school took part in five contests, winning three while the remaining two were no decision debates, -v ' Curtis Bell and Stanley Craft debated before the assembly March 8, (Continued from Page One) in a no decision contest, with the University of Washington Freshman. Later they took a decision from Parkland college' there. Cram and Summers also took a' second decision from Parkland. Craft and Bell participated in a no decision contest with ' a crack traveling team from Weber college of Ogden, Utah. Women Win Decisions The women debated three times, losing only, one decision. gt; Frieda Massey and Ethel Hendricks successfully held the negative side of the question, Rsolved: That temporary insanity as a defense for crime should be abolished, in a meet which was held here with the College of Puget Sound. The traveling team consisted of Helen Fitz-water and Rose Brown who upheld the affirmative of the. same question, lost the debate with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma, but won the other against Parkland. Edith Dyer and Robert Cooper were the alternates for the two questions. Although they did not get an opportunity to participate, Miss Madden stated that- they worked very hard and aided the others a great deal in the preparation, gathering and presentation of material.

I _ .â€”â€”â€” Page 3 The Western Front WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TUESDAY â€”FEBRUARY 6,1996 VOLUME 95, ISSUE 7 Western planning for expansion By Michael H. Olson Frontreporter Continuously crowded conditions, along with a projected influx of 2,000 additional students by2005, caused Western officials to gather last week and brainstorm solutions to the problems.Questions at the informal session included: can Western better utilize its existing space? If not, should Western ask the state for a new academic building? If Western asks and receives the go-ahead for anew building, which department(s) will it serve? And how can Western solve the ensuing parkingproblem? The informal group, consisting of College of Arts and Sciences Dean Peter Elich, Vice ProvostJerry Boles and College of Business and Economics Dean Dennis Murphy, said it is devoted todetermining individual department spatial needs. The group is in the process of creating a detailedspace analysis to determine which department has the most pressing need. At this point the stateLegislature doesn't even know Western administrators are thinking of a new building. "The reason we'regiving this attention at this particular time, is because we are anticipating we are going to be in a periodof rapid growth," Elich said. "We don't have enough room for all of our current faculty and staff andgraduate students in existing buildings. So if we grow by a couple thousand students, 100 faculty and20 staffers ... we aren't going to have any place to put (them). "What makes us think we are going togrow is data like this," he said, producing a graph showing the number of Washington high schoolgraduates. "This essentially shows what the increased demand would be on higher education as well.We're anticipating (Western) will be growing by a couple thousand students (by 2005)." Elich said themost critical problem involves the Humanities Building and Bond Hall, which houses the mathdepartment. "We have two or three people per office in some places," said John Purdy, acting chair ofthe English department. "The most energetic proposal (for a new building) is six years. If another 2,000students or so become a reality, then we're in deep trouble. They will be here before the building."Purdy said temporary solutions may include Saturday classes, expansion of the summer program andmore night classes. But Elich also mentioned the possibility of rearranging the departments and/orremodeling. "One or more departments may have to move out of the Humanities Building," Elich said."It becomes a kind of musical-chairs arrangement. If you free this space, 80 -i 40 Projected number ofWashington State public and private high school spring graduates, 1985-2020â€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”r Â°"gt;Â° SÂ£Â£ SÂ£J 9\ 25 25 Tâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”iâ€”r then youcan move those people here and other people into that space. It becomes a fairly complicated mess."Math professor Donna Rochon said, "The math classes are spread across campus. It would be verynice to have everyone in one building." She said the math classrooms currently average 35 students."We would certainly not want more (per room)," she said. "(But) a larger class-source: Office of FinancialManagement room, I think, is not the key. What I would like to see is fewer students per facultymember." Since Western has recently built three buildings, she said she's not sure if the currentspace is being used efficiently. She also said she is worried about where the money comes from. "If themoney is there, and it cannot be See Building, page 3 Men's Resource Center closure angers some ByBobbie Egan Front reporter The termination of the Men's Resource Center will be among the issues theAssociated Students Board of Directors will address in an overhaul of the Human Resource Programsthat will begin with a student survey focusing on students' needs and concerns. The overhaul wasdetermined last Thursday by Vice President for Activities Jennifer Boespflug, HRP coordinator TanyaAcode and Administrator of Student Affairs Kevin Majkut. The group met to address rumors spreadingwithin the AS about the termination of the Men's Resource Center and the need for other HRP-sponsored programs that help students. Boespflug said space is limited and some programs are increasingwhile others lie dormant or even duplicate other programs. The Veterans Outreach Center was set up forVietnam veterans at Western, similar to The Veterans Education Outreach Program. "There's a lot ofinside politics floating around. I don't want the decisions made based on a bunch of AS politics,"Boespflug said. "Some programs just keep drifting in the bureaucracy. What we're trying to do is weedthrough student concerns to better serve student needs." Students pay $96 in student fees everyquarter, and the AS gets about $35. â€¢"- The MRC was terminated ^spring quarter after a reviewcommittee determined that "the main emphasis of the MRC, the 'men's movement,' is not constituted as a significant issue by a large population of Western students." The review committee consisted of fourpeople and was led by last year's Vice President for Activities Linda Pierce. Cost-benefit analysis and lack of successful programming were additional reasons given by the review committee for thetermination of the MRC. The final recommendation was to reassess stu- "People (at the terminationforum) were comparing women's issues and men's issues to being as similar as a hang nail is to ahernia." â€” Paul Schneider coordinator for Men Against Rape dent need for the center within two yearsof the termination. Boespflug said she intends to assess student needs through an on-campus survey inthe residence halls and to offer forums on gender issues on campus to allow for student imput. Thesurvey will address the students' need for a men's center, as well as other HRP organizations. "Bytaking away the MRC, they effectively said that men's issues aren't worth $5,000 and 10 square feet ofoffice space. The Women's Resource Center is an excellent facility, and I would like to see thatopportunity extended to the other half of our students," Boespflug said. Robin Sponseller, coordinator for the Legal Information Center, was among the original review committee and said she believes thatalthough Western has gender issues the MRC never had a definite issue. "The MRC was formed tomake social change. If we have an African American Alliance, should we have a Ku Klux Klan Alliance?Resources are limited, we must evalutate the programs we have. Time and space are limited,"Sponceller said. "Is it worth it to have an office that was never used, just to make a politicalstatement?" Paul Schneider, coordinator for Men Against Rape, said he believes the committee actedhastily last year and reviewed the MRC with "anti-male sentiments" instead of assessing studentneeds. "People (at the termination forum) were comparing women's issues and men's issues to beingas similar as a hang nail is to a hernia," Schneider said. Schneider said Men Against Rape is the onlygroup on campus to address specific issues concerning men. The group discusses sexual assaultbehavior and tries to change the behaviors in men. The Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Alliance and the AfricanAmerican Alliance also deal with men's issues, but are more specifically focused. Schneider saidmen's issues at See MRC, page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1996 February 2 - Page 2 ---------- â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS February 6. 1996 Campus Police Feb. 3, 2:00 a.m.: A woman inRidgeway Beta reported someone kicked in the door to her room.

Building, from page 1 usedelsewhere, then that is fine," she said. "But if the money has to come from elsewhere to put in thebuilding, then I would have a problem with that because there are so many needs in other places forthat money." Elich said the state funds the buildings through bonds. "It floats bonds which investorsbuy," he said, "and those bonds generate interest. Then the investors' money is used to build buildings." He said the state is limited in the number of bonds it can have out. "The problem we are encountering at the present time is that the state is fairly close to the limit. We've just gone through and are in themidst of an expensive building program (at Western) of well over $50 million: the Chemistry building,Biology building, Science Three Facility, Haggard Hall renovation and the library renovation," Elichsaid. This might put a damper on Western's chances for another new building, especially if otherschools have already been put off. "In the master plan, which has already been developed for theuniversity, one of the sites that has been identified is actually right over that parking lot," Elich saidpointing over the parking lot adj cent to the east side of the Environmental Studies building. "The nextstep (in Western's process)," he added, "will be to decide at the senior administrative level â€” thepresident, the provost, and the Board of Trustees â€” that, yes, we are going to the Legislature of 1997and make our case for their providing funding for another academic building."

Ivan Grantham, a senior English major who is the lone AssociatedStudents representative to Whatcom Transportation Authority, said he wants to update the bus routes. "We make suggestions and proposals on how (WTA) could make the bus system run moreefficiently," Grantham said of the WTA Citizens Advisory Panel. Grantham submitted a proposal to add a new bus route going from Western to Fred Meyer, then over to Bill McDonald Parkway. Although this isan idea that could benefit a large number of Western students, Grantham gets little input from students. "A lot of people don't take (my position) very seriously," he said, blaming the lack of credits or monetary tradeoff. "I feel maybe, possibly, a little bit of credit (would be nice)," Grantham said. "I represent thestudents ... I'm not doing this for myself." Linda Pierce, a graduate student in English Literature, isone of three graduate students on the Graduate Council. She has a say in how many credits arerequired to major in a certain field. Pierce votes on behalf of graduate students in matters such as the allocation of teaching assistant positions and departmental reviews. She also reviews catalogcopies â€” and so helps to determine just how many credits a student needs to major in a given field. The Graduate Council has more than 20 members, only three of whom â€” - are graduate students,Pierce said. The remainder are professors and faculty who work with graduate students. Members of AScommittees receive no tangible rewards, but Jo Ann Anderson, AS vice president of academic affairs,said she thinks being on a committee is useful in itself. "You get to learn a lot about studentgovernment," Anderson said. "I think just going and getting experience is valuable." "I think it'simportant for students to have a voice in what's (being) said," Pierce agreed. Pierce said working onthe council can sometimes be "pretty boring" because many of the non-student members have been onit for a while, so they intimately know procedures. "There's really not much for us to say," Pierce said,though she said she wouldn't suggest remov- "I feel maybe, possibly, a little bit of credit (would be nice). I represent the students... I'm not doing this for myself." â€” Ivan Grantham Associated Studentsrepresentative ing the students from the council. Without the students to keep the other members incheck, there's potential to lose teacher assistant positions or worse, she added. "It wouldn't happenhere," Pierce said, mentioning that the Western faculty is "pretty cool." Grantham, however, said hefinds his panel interesting because it ties into his economics major. Transportation ties into businessdevelopment, Grantham said. It was his interest in economics that led him to serve on the panel; heand Anderson shared an economics class where they discussed the transportation-businessconnection. Anderson plugged for the panel, and Grantham took the bait. "It's interesting for sure,"Grantham said. "(The panel) deals with things that actually affect the community." Anderson said mostcommittees require a minimal time commitment, usually one to two hours a week, four to five times a quarter. The Graduate Council meets one hour a week, and attendance isn't mandatory, Pierce said."They don't shoot us or anything if we don't show up," she said, laughing. "(It's) better if we show upbecause (then) we know what's going, on." Students wishing to join a committee should drop byViking Union 227 and grab the list of student appointments to committees, a list in dire need ofupdating, Anderson said. After seeing which positions they are qualified for, students can fill out theapplication and return it to Anderson. She evaluates the application and, if she approves, submits it tothe AS Board of Directors for ratification. The only requirement for applicants is that they be enrolled at Western, Anderson said. "Any student on campus is encouraged to join a committee," she said."There (are) always committees searching for students." She listed a few.of them to prove her point;the International Programs Advisory Committee, the Advisory Committee on Sale of AlcoholicBeverages, the University Services Council and the University Judicial Appeal Board. Both Pierce andGrantham said they think working on their committees is worthwhile. The experience is givingGrantham the opportunity to pursue his bus route proposal. "I've got some great support," Granthamsaid, mentioning AS President Lauren Russell (to whom he directly reports) and Ann Wallace, themanager parking services. Grantham said he will draw up plans for his proposed bus route soon. "Ifany changes are to be made, they have to be taken seriously now," he said.

Shestands in line at Miller Hall with the rest of the student body to get her daily coffee. She's an educationmajor, as just about everyone here seems to be. She, too, has to worry about tests and assignments.But unlike the typical student, Weatherford doesn't hear the chaos of Miller's Coffee House during therush between classes. Nor does she hear her professor's lectures. Weatherford is one of two deafstudents at Western. It was 10 years ago that Weatherford completely lost her hearing. "Even as achild, I was hard of hearing," she said. "It just degenerated as I grew. I don't know why; it's just oneof those things." While most could hardly imagine shrugging their shoulders in this situation,Weatherford says she simply refuses to let her disability interfere with her life. "I pretty much do whathearing people do," she said. This already includes receiving her Associate of Arts degree from SkagitValley College and taking education classes to become a teacher of English as a Second Language.She is determined to work with deaf children in some way. "Deaf children need to have deaf teachersâ€” to have that role model," she said. "That's really important." In addition to the hectic routine of acollege student, Weatherford teaches Sunday school classes in sign language. She is the mother offive boys and a grandmother of one. While all of her sons have normal hearing, they have learned tosign in order to communicate with their mom. The youngest, a 2-year-old, is still learning. "They worryabout me," Weatherford said of her children, "because their mom is in a community where deafpeople often get pushed aside." Weatherford explained that Western is not as accessible to the deafcommunity as it could be. "Sometimes there are absolutely no phones available on campus," shesaid. "If I need to call and check on my baby, then there is often no way for me to do that."Weatherford encounters other problems that would never even occur to a hearing person. "I've almostbeen hit by a car twice here," she said. "I can't hear approaching cars, or even horns and (drivers don't)realize this." Another worry is the possibility of a fire. "The University should have flashing lights toindicate danger," Weatherford said, "since we can't hear an alarm." Weatherford has had to adapt inother ways as well. Since she can't read lips in large lectures, Weatherford uses an interpreter in herclasses. She knows Signed Exact English, which, as the name suggests, articulates every wordthrough signing, even articles such as "the" and "an". This is the form used in public schools. "Teachers tend to use this to provide a language continuum, so that students learn real English," Weatherfordexplained. Another form, American Sign Language, is now the third most common language in theUnited States, said Cecelia Smith, an interpreter at Western. It focuses less on grammar andstructure and more on concepts and ideas. It is also the more accepted form in deaf culture, whichSmith described as "people who have a strong affiliation with their language and who support deafissues and deaf rights." Weatherford still feels uncomfortable about labeling herself a part of thisgroup. "I'm in between worlds right now," she said. "I can't hear, but I'm not deaf-cultured yet. I'm oraland rely on lip-reading if there are no interpreters around." Weatherford would like to bridge the gapbetween hearing and deaf people. "It would be so wonderful if more people would make an effort to learnto sign," she said. "The more who can think in sign language, the easier it would be for me tocommunicate." As it. is now, Weatherford spends a lot of time writing notes to hearing people. "I justtry to be patient with them," she said. Weatherford has other ideas about how a hearing person canunderstand the deaf. "Be clear in your thoughts," she said, "and try thinking like a deaf person. Just"try walking in our shoes."

SAFECO ---------- Western Front - 1996 February 2 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT FEATURES February 6, 1996 The power of By Gabriel Winkler Frontreporter For many of Bellingham's poor and homeless, the usual difficulties of finding adequate food arecompounded by the need to stay warm. In order to address the issue of food, the Inn Ministries, anAssociated Students club, operates a student-run soup kitchen on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2 to 4 p.min a new facility at 902 N. State St. "Our goal for the soup kitchen is to give respect and love to peoplewho have been abandoned by society," Western student Collin Rutherford said. Rutherford has run thesoup kitchen for the last two years. The soup kitchen serves 35 to 70 people hot meals twice a week.The soup kitchen has operated for the last five years and moved just recently. The ministry received thenew kitchen from the Whatcom County Christian Youth Center, and continues to receive donations fromthe Trillium Corporation and businesspeople in the community. All the food the soup kitchen works withis donated from people in the community and is collected by students. The staff preparing, cooking and serving the meals are mostly students from Western. Because the food is donated, Rutherford said thatsometimes they don't know if there will be food to serve. "On Friday we didn't have any bread to serveuntil right before we opened," he said. Collin said he hopes in the future to coordinate with the WhatcomCounty Food Bank. "We'd like to expand in the future and possibly work with the business community,"Collin said. Currently, the Inn office is collecting used clothing and hopes to set up a job board and a listof shelters in the Bellingham area where people can get help. Rutherford has kept the ministry away from relying on government support, so government agencies can't attach conditions to how the ministryoperates. "I've seen the way government runs," Rutherford said. "We want to move away from charity and give people compassion. Government can't do everything and they can't pay people to be kind and loveâ€” that comes from the heart." For the students that donate their time, working at the soup kitchengives them unique opportunities. "At school we can talk about problems and how home-lessness andhunger is so bad, but there is no practical application there," Rutherford said. "Working at the soupkitchen, it really opens your eyes to the community's needs and gets you out of your little world."Working at the soup kitchen made me realize that anyone, someday, could be homeless. It made mereally appreciate my family more and give compassion to people who have nothing," said seniorrecreation major Jeremy Isbell. Rutherford said that most of the people who come into the soup kitchenare good people, but they don't have any support or contacts in the community. For these people, thesoup kitchen is a resource where they receive food and a place where they know they are loved andrespected. Gary Patterson puts jam on a muffin during a visit to the soup kitchen (above). Chris Kaiser (I) and Collin Rutherford (r) prepare the soup of the day (left). Photos by Jesse Nolte "If the people here see that you're genuine, they'll really open," Rutherford said. "What I really enjoyed about the soupkitchen is building relationships with people I would otherwise have never met," said Rebecca Huzy, asenior education major. "This one guy I really got to know, but suddenly he stopped coming to the soupkitchen," Huzy said. "Later on, I saw him at Fred Meyer and he came up and gave me a big hug and toldme how he had gotten a job. That experience really touched me." Rutherford said he's frustratedbecause many of the homeless people do not get real sleep when they sleep out in the cold. Becausehe takes a personal interest in the homeless, Rutherford said he is happy when he sees people who areno longer living on the streets and who now have jobs. He said he hopes the soup kitchen will continue to receive food and support from students. "Before the break comes, or at anytime, we'd appreciate anyfood or perishables. We can use anything; even (Top) Ramen," Rutherford said. In addition to the soupkitchen, the Inn also operates the Upper Room in the same building. The Upper Room is a ministrydirected at helping at-risk youth in Bellingham. Over one-quarter of Bellingham's homeless population isunder the age of 18. Most of the kids are runaways and fall into a downward spiral of sex, drug andalcohol abuse. The Upper Room operates as a place of safety where the kids can feel secure and receive help. While the soup kitchen continues to cater to the physical needs of the low-income andhomeless people in Bellingham, Rutherford hopes to play a part in helping touch people's lives. "All we're doing is trying to treat people as Christ would treat them," Rutherford said. ---------- Western Front - 1996 February 2 - Page 7 ---------- February 6, 1996 FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 A balancing DanaD.Templeton ^t reporterâ€¢Oâ€žH (razing vacantly into the S ^ â€” ^ Â£ desperately to ake the "right" c h o K ^ e o n e*sr?Â£^'â€”-and Wellness Services. e f o od ^r^-r.the^ w o n y a b o u t . ^ ^ . ^ e , * .food pyramid atevery_m ^y l t AsfÂ°rthe,râ„¢XbeTween meals *an t o h a v e h e a l * y s n ^ ^ stuff yourself at one Â«indivlduai Students should consider ^ "^^he^yt^-r1 5 3 1 6 planning a heaimy ^ Pnot responding to ^ ' o b ^ o g n i z e ^ early They shouldtomt ^ warning signs that tenbo ^ ^ ^ ^ ment.

It is estimated that between two and five percent of college women suffer fromanorexia or bulimia and 70 percent experience some type of disordered eating patterns. Ten percent ofall those with eating disorders are men. The highest percentage of people with anorexia and bulimia is found in environments that stress achievement, such as college campuses. Candice Wiggumspecializes in eating disorders and is a counselor in Western's Counseling Center. Some of the reasonseating disorders are growing among college students, especially freshmen, are that during collegeyears, a persons life is changing, they have left home and have high expectations, Wiggumexplained. With dramatic change, people often feel a lack of control, Wiggum said. Kim Mow, aLifestyle Advisor who specializes in eating disorders, said that common reasons eating disordersbegin are "feelings of loss of control, a lowered self-esteem and'a warped body image." Duringpeople's twenties, there is often a search for identity. People questioning who they are and how they fitinto society can lead to a lot of anxiety. This anxiety may foster perfectionist desires and lead todepression, a beginning for an eating disorder. When there is a group of people in the same area, allexperiencing the same changes, eating disorders flourish. Besides influences from mainstreammedia, one reason eating disorders prevail on college campuses is because a campus is a fairlyhomogenous group. Students with lowered self-esteem and feelings of lack of control easily comparethemselves to roommates, friends and fellow students,. It is this comparison that can easily transferinsecurities about relationships, sexuality, appearance and intelligence to body image. Wiggum saidthat in group living, "insecurities bounce off each other." The environment, living situation andgroups of friends can lead to "silent competitions" involving eating disorders; Wiggum said. Control is amajor focus of eating disorders. Someone may begin exercising control in his or her life by controllingfood intake; but eating disorders "end up controlling their life and mind," Mow said. Someone with aneating disorder may spend time and energy focusing on not eating, or if they eat, how to lose thecalories. They "think of food as the enemy," Mow said, "not as nourishment." "Instead of using food fornourishment reasons, (people with eating disorders) use it (food) for punishment reasons," Wiggum explained. Many people with eating disorders don't consider themselves anorexic or bulimic, buteating disorders have many levels. In a group of 20 people, (mostly women) one person is likely to beanorexic or bulimic. In that same group, 14 probably have some kind of disordered eating habits whichinclude severe dieting and feeling poorly about weight and size. Common among college students,especially women, is a low-fat or no-fat diet. This form of eating is mainly comprised of foods such asrice and popcorn. Even items such as cheese, meats and salad dressings are only eaten if marked bythe 'no-fat' seal of approval. Mow said that this no-fat diet is often labeled as "eating a healthy diet."However, people's bodies need fat to maintain themselves. Wiggum said that the "no-fat" diet is an"absolute academic. Fat is not bad. The original idea was to lower the fat in people's diets." Someoneobsessed with eating the least amount of fat ends up striving to "win the fat contest," Wiggum said.However, she added, "if you win this contest, you could die." Excuses flourish with people who haveeating disorders. Anorexics say they have already eaten, aren't hungry or don't have the money, andthey avoid social situations where food could be present. Bulemics may hide out to binge and purge inprivate. People exercising control of the food know "how to get out of eating without anyone noticing,"Mow said. Also common among those with eating disorders is high attention to exercise, driven by afear of gaining weight. Often, "exercise replaces eating," Mow said. Men, although in much smallernumbers than women, are also affected by eating disorders. Wiggum said that some men may "feel they can't talk about it because it is a women's disease." Men with an eating disorder may becomecompulsive about body building, sometimes through the use of anabolic steroids. Others display themore classic eating disorder symptoms. Wiggum stressed that people's lifestyles do not have to revolve around food and weight. "We need to ask, why are we doing this to ourselves?" Wiggum said. "A lot ofpeople say, T know I have a problem. I want to take care of it myself.' It's much easier if you havesupport," Wiggum said. "Your health is the number one primary concern." ---------- Western Front - 1996 February 2 - Page 8 ---------- # 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS February 6.1996 Women destroy Loggers Vikings nearlyreach century mark in lopsided hoops victory Christine Troyke Front reporter Western's women'sbasketball team put on a defensive and fast-break clinic that destroyed the University of Puget Sound 95-61 Saturday night in Carver Gym. Western, 18-6 on the season and 7-1 in the Pacific NorthwestAthletic Conference, led by as many as 42 points and shooting 55.7 percent from the field. "Not one(player) can hit the floor like (center) Gina (Sampson) can, and that's why it's fun for me," guard KristyEggen said. "My favorite thing about Aprn Saunders shoots this team, besides our defense, is the fastbreak. "It's incredible when we can light it up like that, when Gina can get down that court and do it forus." UPS (6-12, 1-7) was unable to end Western's 14- game home court winning streak. Sampson ledthe team with 20 points. K.C. Mattingly added 15, including three 3-point-ers. Freshman guard NicoleKrell contributed three more 3-pointers and finished with 11. Western leads the PNWAC with 39.9percent 3-point shooting. "We really just try to come out and use those things we've been working onto crush them," Eggen said. "And crush them is the right word." "One of the great things about ourteam is that it's not one person they (opponents) can capitalize on," Head Coach Carmen Dolfo said. "Whatever they give us, someone really wants to step up." Western dominated the game from the tip-off. The defense never let up and UPS basically got out-hustled. Halfway through the Front/Jesse Noltefirst half, Western led 29- in traffic Saturday. 9. Their lead just kept growing; the score at half-time wasan impressive 48-26. "They were able to maintain a real high level of play. Everybody contributed,"assistant coach Lori deKubber said. "I think one of the things that really got us going was the fast break. "Kristy Eggen did a great job of getting the ball up the court and getting the open person early on.

The man who hasowned the Seattle Seahawks since 1988 is so sure of the law that now he believes he decides it. In astatement issued Feb. 2, Behring stated that he is "under no further legal obligation to play games in theKingdome." he says seismic and other problems with the facility give him the right to leave. His logichas more faults than Los Angeles, the city to which he plans to move ttfe team. Behring still has 10 years on his lease, and King County will not let its team go without first collecting the rent. If Behring thoughthe could just waltz out of Dodge hassle-free, it is a small wonder the Los Angeles Times said he has "thephysical and mental makeup of a jelly doughnut." In eight years Behring engaged in multiple violations ofprinciple to single-handedly destroy a winning team. After running coach Chuck Knox and quarterbackDave Krieg out of town, Behring's meddling wasted a first-round pick on the inept Dan McGwire andexiled a proven coach to one of the worst records in the NFL. Tom Flores, with two Super Bowl victories to his name, could not overcome Behring's monkey-wrenching. But this owner was not done tearing downhis team with his dishonesty. Behring signed promising to not move his franchise. He is going anyway.Truth and honor mean nothing to Behring. The Pacific Northwest now knows as it watches theseachickens fly their coop. Behring thinks leaving the name, logo and uniforms of the Seahawks is aconsolation to the town. It is not. Whatever significance these trinkets may have had moved out with theNordstrom ownership in 1988. After Behring, people will only remember the "Seasquawks." With a moveto L.A, Behring's squad will be at home with the hookers on Sunset Strip. The team will fit nicely when itsplayers wear bathing suits and rabbit furs while Behring parades them. Disney can get down withBehring's $165 million whore. Behring is simply a fool. Any idiot could have learned from the lessons theCleveland fiasco is currently teaching. But the Cleveland catastrophe did not deter Behring's action.Seattle never welcomed their Bay Area imposter. So do not be deceived by the false apologies. Behring is not sorry to leave a town that never liked him. Though he may think so, Behring does not make the law.He breaks the law. Just like he breaks his word. Just like he broke up a winning football club. KingCounty will continue to battle the indigestible human pastry. Ultimately, Seattle will not win. Until the NFLhas the guts to harness its renegade owners, teams will always be potential prostitutes. Seattle willprobably lose its franchise and will have precious little chance of wooing another. But, given the sorrystate to which the NFL is descending, perhaps the Emerald City will be better for it. Surely, the air inSeattle will improve the moment Ken Behring jets out. COUPON en ^ CO O O .

Goalie ToddCarlson came up with quality saves on several point-blank shots, while CBC outshot the Vikings' 19-10.Western, however, was having problems getting the puck out of the zone. They let CBC set up play afterplay. But Carlson came up with the saves that kept the score 1-0 for the first period. "Todd (Carlson) didan excellent job. I know he got 10 goals on, but he's the only reason it was that close," Brueggemannsaid. CBC's first goal was scored at 8:55 by captain Kevin Laskowski, who grew up in Czechoslovakiaand played hockey there. Western came back to life in the second period out-shooting CBC 6-2 in thefirst five minutes of the period. CBC struck again at 16:57, demonstrating sharp passing abilities thatwere right where they needed to be. "Obviously you could tell they practice three times a week,"Brueggemann said. "The only time we all play together as a team is at our games here. Other than that,we all play on different teams. And it's not the same, you get used to a way of playing." "Every time they passed the puck there was someone there. "When we have the puck, we have to look around andFront/Jesse Western's Sean Cassidy shoots during Friday's loss. Nolte find out where our wing is," hecontinued. "We don't know when you're going to zig and when you're going to zag. We just kind of haveto fly by the seat of our pants." Western's Sean Cassidy tallied first for the Vikings, beating the goalie onthe glove side. Western was able to set up the play in front of the crease and put the puck into the net tomake it a 2-1 game at 13:06 of the second. Cassidy was assisted by Brueggemann and Carlson. This iswhere the game started getting away from the Vikings. CBC scored twice before the resurfacing break.Then CBC got called for interference and still scored a short-handed goal to make it 5-1. In a briefcomeback attempt, Western's Paul Good scored on the power play at 7:01. Good was parked in front ofthe net and fired the centering pass in, beating the goalie and bringing the Vikings as close as they would get, trailing by three. Brueggemann and Cassidy assisted. CBC scored less than 30 seconds later, with a top-shelf slap-shot, beating Carlson on his glove side. Five minutes later, with just 1:56 to go in thesecond period and despite being shorthanded because of a roughing penalty, CBC slid the puck pastCarlson to take the score to 7-2. "They (CBC) play their positions so well it makes you look bad,"Brueggemann said. "You challenge someone and (end up) leaving someone else open." Western scoredits third goal of the night with 10:58 to go in the final period. Ronnie "Rocket" Mullin buried it in the backof the net when the goalie couldn't get his glove up on time after committing to his-stick side. AfterCBC racked up its ninth goal of the evening, Mullin finished off Western's scoring, latching on to a cross-pass in front of the net and making the score CBC wrapped up the scoring in the final minutes with arebound goal to close out the period. Western was missing several players, including Dave Warner with a leg injury and Paul Hough, who was out because of back problems. Next weekend Western will travel toEugene, Ore. to play the Ducks. The next home game will be at 10 p.m. Feb. 16 against WashingtonState University at the Whatcom County Sports Arena. "That will be a huge, huge game," Brueggemannsaid of the WSUgame. "Our former captain from last year is going there for graduate school, so there isquite a rivalry with these guys. "We're looking for a fun game and will match up a little better (thanagaingst CBC)." llliBlllllSiilBpliilli ^||^||p||Jl|g|J|||J|^i|||| ^^^^^BBSB^B llBHBif^lHii^iiiliilillllBi ||j^^B|l|B|||j](^|li|ii||iiiiil3lliiBllii^iiliiBli tiil^HlMiHHBBMlftHii TUDOR INN ENTERTAINMENT PLAZA TUDOR INN PUB SPORTS BAR Female Exotic Dancers Monday - Saturday â€¢ Noon to 7:00 p.m. â€” Ye OldeSmugglerz Cabaret Tuesdays: It's Party Night!

A normally studious friend, who will graduate this spring, spent three hours playing a video game earlier this quarter so she could clear a classmate's name from the top-scorers' list.Senioritis also makes students wonder what they're going to do after the graduation confetti has beenswept away and the real world stares them in the face. A college degree is a definite asset when hittingthe streets to apply for that long-desired job. Academic education, however, isn't the only asset collegecan offer. Grade point average is important; let it dip too low, and kiss that mortarboard goodbye. GPAisn't the axis around which the world revolves, though. Many of the nonacademic lessons college students learn will be more valuable 10 years down the road than any 4.0. Communication skills are one of thefirst things college students have to learn. Sooner or later, Awful Roommate is certain to come along.Learning now how to talk through frustrations now can save some later grief in a future marriage orroommate situation. Real World Economics 101 teaches students how to live with roofs over their heads, three meals a day and occasional entertainment on a few hudred dollars a month. Creative shoppingteaches them how to detect consignment shops and shop nutritiously on a budget without subsistingon Top Ramen. College students usually have to juggle both a work and a school schedule. Socializinghas to fit, too. Cramming these activites into seven 24-hour packages each week takes the ability toprioritize responsibilities and plan strategically. After scheduling a life as busy as a student's, planninga work schedule should be quite a bit easier. Students also develop ways to deal with the stress soprevalent in college. If they're healthy methods, such as working out, jogging, walking, going out withfriends or writing in a journal, they can prevent heart attacks 20 or 30 years down the road. Collegestudents also develop a sense of their own limits. The challenge that assignments provide teachesstudents they can accomplish tasks that seem daunting, such as a 20-page thesis on modern literaturetheory. This creates or nourishes the self-confidence one needs to apply for professional positions afterschool. Whether a student is just entering or just completing an academic career, he or she has manylessons to learn that are more important than the academic lessons he or she learns while in college.Academic skills aren't as important; life skills and practical knowledge are. â€”Marlese Webb, Copyeditor The Western Front Editor, Eric Francis; Managing editor, Jeremy Stiles; News editors, JakeRoberts and Colleen Williams; Assistant News editor, Renee Pedranti; Features editors, Steve Mohundro and Annie Pierce; Accent editors, Suann Landis and Jesse Hamilton; Sports editors, Nina Boswell andDamn Wellentin; Opinions editor, Rachel Morrow; Graphics by, Suann Landis and Steve Mohundro; Copyeditors, Tina Jo Koontz and Marlese Webb; Photo editor, Jesse Nolte; Assistant Photo editor, Erin North; Political Cartoonist, Jason Kelly; Illustrator, Kelly Jackson; Adviser, Pete Steffens; Business Manager,Teari Brown; Custodian, Roger Sprague; Custodian emeritus, Conrad Schuyler; Front commercial jingle,Ross'; Front songs of the issue, "Masochism Tango," by Tom Lehrer and "I got my mojo working (and Ithought you'd like to know)," by The Young Fresh Fellows (Latter song provided by two people wishing tobe called Yoda); Renee's bitching topic, school; R.I.P.

MOTH* LEAST VM-UABt-5 GOMWMirf PtAYR OF TH6 YEAR.OASOMKEU* Sexual orientation should not play a factor in custody cases Who would be the betterparent: someone who has been convicted of murder or someone whose only stigma in this world isbeing a lesbian and a mother? If the choice is the lesbian parent as the better one it's wrong a judge in Florida said. The judge recently awarded custody of a 11-year-old girl to her father John A. Ward, whowas convicted of killing his first wife, instead of to her mother because the mother is a lesbian. Thejudge said he wanted to give the girl a chance to live in a "non-lesbian world." The daughter is forced tolive with her murdering father instead of with her mother, whom she has been living with since the divorce in 1990. Who is to say that this type of person would not kill again or lash out in anger at the daughter with physical or verbal abuse? Did the judge use any legal ramifications to come to this decision, or didhe let his own opinion shape his decision? One would suspect his opinions played a big part becauseof no other indication of anything else being the reason, according to a Feb. 3 article in The BellinghamHerald. In the article, Shannon Minter, a lawyer for the Lesbian Rights Center in Florida said, "Itpresents a very stark example of how irrational it is to take a child away from a stable, committedparent because of sexual orientation. The fact that the father in this case has demonstrated history ofviolent and abusive behavior is outrageous." According to Washington state law, any mention of eitherparents sexual orientation is prohibited in a custody battle, which is fair because this shows aperson's sexual orientation is no basis for receiving or not receiving custody of a child. This law doesnot exist in all states; Florida is one of these without the law. Each state is allowed to make to make its own decision about whether this type of information is admissible in court. According to Florida law, inorder to change a custody order, evidence showing a child has been harmed must exist. It is sad thatthis type of hatred can and does exist throughout our country. What does sexual orientation have to dowith the ability to be a good parent? It doesn't impair a person in any way, shape or form. A gay personcan parent the same as a straight person. The judge is setting the girl up for emotional trauma by having her live with her father. He is taking her out of a world in which she has been living comfortably. Shenow has to deal with living with a convicted murderer. It's hard to understand why some people labelothers just because of their sexual orientation. If anything about a person is out of the normal structure of society, many people automatically put up barriers against that person. People have alreadyformed opinions before getting to really know the person. So much prejudice exists against people whohave come "out of the closet" about their sexual orientation. This world would be a better place to live ifpeople were more understanding and willing to get to know people before making snap decisions. Amentality exists that everyone has to conform to society and all be the same. If someone is a littledifferent, he or she is chastised and considered abnormal, but who is to say what is normal? Insteadof pointing out the differences between people, we should be celebrating these .differences for theyare what make us all unique and special. Our courts, along with our society, need to wake up and seeall people as special and unique, regardless of their sexual orientation. All people want to be treatedequally and fairly. Everyone deserves a chance to be the best parent he or she can be.^iiB^^^ii^M^MK^H^B^B^ii^liiliiftlfti^ii^iiiiiii^^iS ---------- Western Front - 1996 February 2 - Page 11 ---------- February 6, 1996 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 Center does more than 'fake Back theNight7 To the Editor, On Jan. 26, Eric Francis' editorial in The Western Front stated: "It's time for theWomen's Resource Center to stop taking back the night every year, once a year. Come to legislatorswith tangible suggestions that can make the night safe the other 364 as well. The march lost its effectafter the first couple efforts and now just pisses men off." Why is the WRC's biggest and mostsuccessful event of the year so upsetting to Eric and the other men he claims to represent? If peopleare seeing this event as a one-night-a-year occurrence and not as a symbolic statement indicative ofthe dangers of the other 364, they have obviously missed the point. TBTN brings much-needed attentionto the issue of the rampant male violence that is occurring every day, every night in the United States. ,Rape is already illegal; assault is already illegal; creating new laws against rape/assault won't make thenight any safer tomorrow. In order to make the night safer, the power dynamic between men and womenmust first change on an individual and community level. Furthermore, the WRC does not ignore neededlegislative and political change. For example, if Eric ever came down to the WRC office, he would knowthat on Feb. 5 it sent a group to Women's Lobby Day in Olympia to talk directly with legislators. It isimportant to recognize that women and men are encouraged to participate in the rally before the march.The rally, aimed at rasing consciousness and promoting unity between the sexes, will have female and male speakers, culminating with Ntozake Shange, a nationally recognized feminist writer and activist.After the rally, the women will march, and the men will be encouraged to join in a post-rally discussionpertaining to the issues involved with TBTN. It is time for all men to be personally and socially supportiveof women's rights. It may take courage for men to join an event in which they think they may beantagonized or threatened, but not nearly as much courage as it takes for many women to walk aloneat night. Three male supporters of Take Back The Night, Bekele Welch, Robin Elwood, Russell SparksMcEachran misguided To the Editor, Whatcom County Prosecutor David McEachran's unsuccessfulvindictive harassment and brutal trampling of the civil rights of the The Newstand International's twoproprietors, and his obscene waste of taxpayers' money and judicial resources, were obviously a futile, misguided attempt to rewrite the Constitution and impose Mr. McEachran's personal, religious andpolitical agendas on the community at large. Mean-spirited public,officials such as Mr. McEachran arean affront to all who wish to live and participate in a democratic society that respects the free flow aridexchange of ideas and information in the way that the Founding Fathers intended. Mr. McEachran'sdespicable, un-American attempts to subvert the legal process can only be viewed as fascist andreactionary by informed citizens. It would be best for all concerned if Mr. McEachran resignedimmediately, but it is unlikely that such a self-righteous, would-be petty dictator could ever bringhimself to remove his snout from the public trough.

I used to believe those stupid myths like,"You can't get pregnant your first time/' and "You won't get pregnant if you do it standing up, or in a hottub". Yeah, right. Look, too many of us don't have a clue when it comes to birth control. That's whythere's Planned Parenthood. The people at Planned Parenthood know it's tough for teens to get thefacts about birth control, safer sex, and sexually transmitted infections. They really listened to me, andhelped me choose a birth control method that works for me. Everything is completely confidential. Andthe fees are low, so I can afford it. So go to Planned Parenthood.

The music budget was presented and Carol Irwin proposed that we recommend that the Board accept the Music budget of $4,000. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Milt Clothier. The minutes were read and approved. Carol Irwin moved that the Music budget be approved to the amount of $4,000. Seconded and unanimously passed. Paul Gillie moved that the Women's Athletic Budget be approved at $1,400. Seconded and passed unanimously. The Collegiate Athletic Budget was submitted without the inclusion of spring awards. Mr. gelder moved that Collegiate Athletic budget be increased from $21,000 to $21,278, which amount is to cover all items as submitted in the budget and to include Minor Sports Awards. Seconded and carried unanimously. Mrs. Burnett presented to the board the information that the Collegian Stylebook needed reprinting. The Board will contact Mr. Earle in regards to authorizing payment of the cost of the stylebooks. Bill Wilder, President of the Alumni Asoociation, requested from the board a portion of the Co-op dividends. His request was for operating funds for the officers and regional chairman in recruiting students and helping the college. Paul Gillie moved that the board authorize Mr. Earle to write a check for $1,000 to be given to the Alumni Ass. to be used by the officers as they see fit. Seconded and defeated, 1 for, six opposing. The motion was defeated on the principle that there was no constitutional organization called the Alumni Association. Mr. Gelder moved that Mr. Earle be authorized to place on deposit in the Business Office, an amount of $200 to be placed at the disposal of the President and Secretary of the Alumni Ass. At such time as the Alumni Association can provide evidence that it is an constitutional entity, the Board will then consider the allocation of $800 to be used for such purposes as the Association will desire. Seconded and carried unanimously. 195208 Page 2 August 13 (cont'd) The Summer Board recommends that the Fall Board attack the Lakewood Improvement problem. Carol Irwin moved that Mr. Earle be authorized to write a check for $1,500 to be placed in the Student Facilities Fund for use at Lakewood. Seconded and passed unanimously.

Western will compete against 14 teams from England, United States, Mexico, Canada and Czech Republic. "We're a strong team upagainst the world's best," said Michael Seal, VRI director and adviser for the team. This is the secondtime since 1990 Western has sent a team to an international competition. "We are really excited toshow the world, but mainly just to show Western how awesome we are," student Brian Bressler said.Michael and Eileen Seal and students Brian Bressler, Graham Fotheringham, Rob Giovenale, JasonNelson, Jeff Perrigo, Frank Schmitt, Ben Selting and BJ Ueda will represent Western's VRI on the trip. The Viking 28 is a small race car powered by a modified Honda 600 CBR J-2 motorcycle engiife'andfueled by 85 percent alcohol. It was designed solely by Western students. The Viking 28 is beingtransported to Liverpool, England by boat. ~The Formula Student Competition is the equivalent to theAmerican Formula Society of- Automotive See VRI, page 3 WSL fee not in effect yet By Alex P.Hennesy THE WESTERN FRONT The Washington Student Lobby initiative, approved by Westernstudents last spring, has been deferred for consideration by the Board of Trustees until their nextmeeting in August. The board expressed concern about the implementation of the initiative, which would change the way fees and donations are collected for the WSL. "The board wants something that allows students to make a clear choice," said Connie Copeland, assistant dean for Student Affairs. The newlyapproved initiative would change the system from a positive check-off system to a negative check-offsystem, meaning the new system would automatically assess a $2 donation to student tuition fees,but allow a chance for a refund. In the current system, a student must positively affirm that he or shewishes to make a donation via the phone registration system. "It's designed to help WSL get moremoney," Associated Students President Victor Cox said of the proposed system. The changes couldmean an additional $50,000 in funding for the WSL next year, he said. It's not uncommon for the boardto defer a student-approved initiative, Cox said, "if they don't feel comfortable with it." The board'sdeferral is centered on the logistics of implementing the new system. The trustees are concernedboth with the ease of refunds for students not wishing to make a donation, and how the system would fit within Western's current fee collection policy, said David Toyer, A.S. vice president for legislativeand academic affairs. 'They want to make sure students have as many options as possible," Toyersaid.

See Sports, page 8 Class registration system Y2K OK, userfriendly By Christi Croft THE WESTERN FRONT Western's registration system is getting atechnological makeover for the new school year and, so far, the upgrade has been a success, said BobSchneider, director of Administrative Computing Services. "Western's new computer registrationsystem is running right on track and will be in full production by fall quarter. Students will see a hugebenefit," Schneider said. Seniors, some a bit frustrated, had a trial taste of the new system at the end of spring quarter. "People were not informed of this system whatsoever ... here I had this greatopportunity to register early but it was a total pain. I think the new system needs a lot of work," seniorMelissa Garden said. "Every time we conduct registration, we have problems," Registrar Joseph St.Hilaire said. "We find out that a course was set in the system incorrectly, the restrictions of the coursewere done improperly, or whatever." "The old system was better," Senior Shelby Taylor said. "It'sProfessor remembered for enthusiasm By Jenni Odekirk THE WESTERN FRONT Journalism professorDick Beardsley, known for his enthusiastic encouragement of students and colleagues, straight-forward professional and personal manner and devotion to the betterment of Bellingham, passedaway Thursday morning. He died at 58 from heart surgery complications at St. Joseph Hospital, leavingbehind his wife Joan and four children. Beardsley, a former Bellingham Herald reporter, columnist andeditorial page editor, taught at Western during the 1980s and after his retirement from the BellinghamHerald in 1996 until April 13, when he took time off for the surgery. "You could tell he loved teaching,"journalism professor Carolyn Dale said. "He would see potential in anyone willing to work. He'd get soexcited when they'd show progress." Dale worked as a reporter for Beardsley when he was city editor during the late 1970s. "He was very demanding and had high standards but always conveyed that youcould meet them," she said. Those qualities were part of Beardsley's teaching style. "He was reallyencouraging," said senior journalism major Erin Armstrong, who took newswrit-ing and reporting fromBeardsley. "He gave positive feedback and constructive criticism." "Always at the bottom of my paper,he'd write: 'Erin, I know you can do this,"' she said. Senior journalism major Caroline Deck rememberedBeardsley's caring nature contrasted with his vigorous appearance. "He had this booming voice andhe's tall and dark and kind of intimidating when you first meet him, but once you get to know Courtesy of The Bellingham Herald Dick Beardsley 1940-1999 him, he's the most easy-going guy," Deck said. "Ifelt like I could go in and talk to him anytime and not just about journalism stuff." John Harris, a Heraldreporter and weekend editor who also ' See BEARDSLEY, page 3 just going to take some time to getuse to the new system." The new, advanced Banner system, made by SCT Corp., consists of manycomplex changes within the registration system with no student fee for the upgrade. One of thechanges is a new, nine-digit student ID. number. This "W" number is longer than the previousidentification number because it includes faculty, employees, students, vendors and alumni in itsidentification, whereas the other identification number was used just for students. "It is a uniqueidentifier for every person," Schneider said. 'It's an efficient way of tying the whole system together." St.Hilaire said the biggest and most shocking change within the system is the termination of add codes.The new system will require students to obtain blue slips from professors to get into a particular class.Professors can pre-assign blue slips, but majors and pre-majors still have first priority. Phoneregistration will also change.

NATIONAL NEWS Fugitive on t h e loose Convicted murderer Clifford Jones . was captured about 48 hours after he brokeout of a maximum security prison in Texas. Jones was found up a tree in a rugged area several milesfrom the prison. Hundreds of searchers had been looking for him in boats, on horseback and inhelicopters. The prisoner, who was serving a 26-year sentence for murder and attempted murder, isreported to be in good condition. Jones slipped out of handcuffs and through a hole in a fence Sunday afternoon at a prison that's home to some of the state's most difficult inmates. FBI chases murdersuspect It's being compared to the hunt for train robber Jesse James. Federal agents and railroad police are stopping trains and searching boxcars for the man known as Rafael Resendez- Ramirez, an ex-conwanted in connection with eight murders near railway tracks. Union Pacific police regularly inspecttrains in 23 states. But this search also involves the FBI and the Border Patrol. Union Pacific's MarkDavis said besides checking cars in rail yards, officers are stopping trains if a tip seems solid. Davissays the manhunt is probably the railroad's biggest since the hunt for Jesse James more than 100years ago. Resendez-Ramirez â€” a name that's apparently an alias â€” is charged with two murders in Illinois and is suspected in five killings in Texas and one in Kentucky.

One reason for thesystem upgrade was the Y2K problem. "The old system wasn't compliant with Y2K needs anddemands, so we needed to do something about that," St. Hilaire said. Another reason was to increasevendor support for the financial aid system. The vendor will help program federal guidelines, which willspeed up the financial aid process, such as getting award announcements out to students morequickly. St. Hilaire said financial aid was having tremendous difficul- 'The old system was not compliantwith Y2K needs and demands, so we needed to do something about that.' Joseph St. Hilaire Registrar ties getting new federal guidelines in place each year. It required at least a month of programmingbefore they could do their awarding based on the new guidelines. "The feeling was that we were losing a lot of top (financial aid) candidates, so it was a critical decision that had to be made,"St. Hilaire said."We decided to go with the Banner system." The Banner system has many benefits when compared tothe old system including automated prerequisite checking, technological increases and betterintegration of all records for purposes such as the library information system and I.D. cards. Perhapsthe best benefit the new system will bring to Western students is Web-based registration. By entering their new I.D. number, students will be able to check available courses as well as their academicstatus, mailing addresses, grades and academic history. The Web site is linked from Western'shomepage under admissions and registration and is available now to all students; however, grades andacademic history will be available at the end of summer term, after everything is transferred to theBanner system. "We hope that there will be some students using the web registration," St. Hilairesaid. 'Tf a significant number of students use the web for registration rather than RSVP, then weshouldn't have too much difficulty with phone lines being tied up." "This will probably eliminate grademailing," St. Hilaire said, adding that mailing is extremely expensive and often untimely. This systemupgrade is just the first in many technological advances for Western. In the next couple of years,Western plans to provide a degree audit system that allows students and faculty to get a degreecompliance report (a report showing where the student stands in getting their degree). A transferarticulation system will also be added, allowing the new system to draw equivalents between transfercourses and Western courses. Phase I registration is Sept. 9 through 17. The timetable will be sent out in August. ^ ^ ^ f c I^^BJi^^BiBBllBlBHilllll Â»t. miaire saia nnanciai aiu ine manner system nas manyauuie suuueuus using me wcuicg- "HUUBU X'- A"C M i u c i a M"' ,,J-" "^ m was having tremendousdifficul- benefits when compared to the istration," St. Hilaire said.

Stress, pain and imperfections diminish beneath a layer of warm, moisttowels. Luxury is the underlying theme of day spa treatment, including facials, body wraps, massagesand nail treatments. "We live in a really hectic life and spas are a way to get pampered," said PamelaMcCrea, esthetician at Club Mud. Club Mud is a space leased within Silhouettes Hair Body Care."(Spas) make you look better from the inside out. It is so relaxing and takes stresses away," McCreasaid. Chris Fuller/The Western Front Pamela McCrea prepares a client for a day of pampering at ClubMud, located within Silhouettes Hair and Body Care. The facial, a major component of the spaexperience, is the most frequently used treatment, McCrea said. Facials last 30 to 90 minutes and aremeant to improve skin quality and relax patrons. Atmosphere Salon and Day Spa begins each facialwith a steam treatment to the face. The treatment involves a long, angled tube that dispenses steam.The steam softens skin and opens up pores for the rest of the facial treatment, said Aimee Young,owner of Atmosphere. "(The steam) is very good for the mental state and it creates an ambiance,"Young said. "The steam sends more oxygen cells in the face, which has a relaxing effect." Young saidshe continues facials with double cleansing. The first cleansing rids the skin of environmental toxinsas she smoothes on a thick layer of cream cleanser and uses hot towels to quickly whisk it awaywithout scrubbing; the second eliminates cellular debris. After the cleansing, steaming is repeated whilethe esthetician applies an exfoliate. Dead cells are sloughed away by fine particles in the exfoliatingcream, which are sometimes made of fruit acids, Young said. Exfoliation is followed with a facialmassage, which includes lymphatic drainage to remove toxins, Young said. Following the massage, the esthetician performs extractions. Using a sharp, pointed tool, she pokes pimples and whiteheads torelease cellular debris. Blackheads are rolled out with another tool, Young said. "People come for therelaxation and deep skin care," said MaryJo Gran, part-owner of Silhouettes and Club Mud client.Aromatherapy masks are available to soothe or revitalize. Typical ingredients in an aromatherapymask include sea salt, mineral salt and essential oil for stress relief and skin conditioning. Gran saidonce a facial treatment is applied it can become addicting because of the results. "I went for a six-week skin treatment for fine lines around my eyes and face. Drops of vitamin C were put onto my skin from a little glass vile. I do believe it smoothes out my skin," Gran said. Young recommends gettingfacials once a month to keep skin healthy. 'You can do more good in one visit than in an entire week ofhome (face care)," Young said. Body wraps are intended to improve circulation, relaxation, exfoliationand softening of the entire body, Young said. Club Mud offers three body wraps: Moor Mud BodyTreatment, Spirito di Fango with Enzymes Renewing Body Wrap and Aromatherapy Salt Glow Bodytreatment, McCrea said. A dentist-type chair is set up with two sheets, a silver space blanket and awool blanket. The space blanket and wool blanket create a vacuum that seals heat and moisture next tothe body, Young said. The body is exfoliated, detoxified and then painted with the treatment product,McCrea said. It is then "mummy wrapped" . with warm towels and the two blankets. For 20 minutes,clients listen to the calming sound of a waterfall and nature. Enveloped in a web of moist heat, theyare encouraged to completely relax. Some spas have shower facilities to remove products from thebody, but Club Mud towels the client's body clean with lavender scented towels instead, McCrea said."Lavender scented towels are relaxing and that's just something (McCrea) does. Some customersprefer certain aromatherapy smells and choose their own," Gran said. Manicures and pedicures areanother source of personal pampering. Hands and feet are beautified with filing, buffing andpolishing, then massaged and moisturized. The process gives a person the feeling they are treatingthemselves to something special, Young said. Nail treatments further the relaxation goals of theday spa experience. "I want to cater to people who want to take care of themselves," Young said. While the idea of taking care of oneself is appealing, it does have a price tag. A facial at Atmosphere costsbetween $35 and $75 while a basic facial is $60 at Club Mud. A body wrap is between $35 and $60 atboth spas. A full-day package at Atmosphere is $299. It includes a facial, herbal body wrap, massage,manicure, pedicure, make-up application and light lunch. Additional reporting by Jennifer Hibbs WildBuffalo: Macro music microbrews By Melissa Miller THE WESTERN FRONT On a Saturday night atthe Wild Buffalo, it's not unusual to see a guitarist burst out the front door of the rocking and roUing barto dance and play on the street. Inside people pack the bar to groove to funky beats, drink beer, playpool or merely sit back and enjoy the loud, acoustic sounds. The Wild Buffalo opened May 14 andfeatures blues and rock 'n' roll bands in a non-smoking, eye-catching atmosphere. "I want a great placefor people to come," owner John Goodman said. "Music is our mission." Goodman said the Wild Buffalois a tavern that putts music first. The bar is open Thursday through Saturday, and shows start at 8:30p.m. Saturdays feature blues bands and Fridayy is 'wild card' night, which has featured such bands as Twang Factor 4. He said the bar is focusing on folk- and acoustic-rock, as well as some funk andreggae. "I think that it's a desirable venue for music, and the stage is the forefront of the bar," saidDarren Sahlfeld, 26. "If the music is to your taste, then the Wild Buffalo is a good place to see it."Goodman, 44, used a combination of old and new to decorate his bar, which used to be a beauty schoolbefore he purchased the building. The colorful walls are covered in 1960s rock 'n' roll posters from SanFrancisco's Avaldn Ballroom. The bar and DJ box are made of a recycled basketball court. Behind thehardwood dance floor and purple stage is a staircase that leads to a loft with more seating and a pooltable, and the back wall has its original 1930s floral wallpaper. The most distinguishing feature of thebar, however, is the buffalo breaking through large, cream bricks above the bar, revealing a wall paintedwith sky and clouds. The bar has copper-topped counters, where various microbrews are on tap, servedstraight from a treasure chest. Goodman said he decided on the name Wild Buffalo because his great-great uncle was Buffalo Bill Cody. He said his friends called him Johnny Buffalo, and he kept comingback to the name. Goodman said that Buffalo Bill used to put on Wild, Wild West shows, which spurredthe bar's finalized name. Goodman was a part-time musician who played the electric bass. He said hegot the idea to open a bar in the mid-80s because he found himself going to Vancouver, British Columbiaand Seattle to watch bands. Goodman said because he used to work in construction and design, hewas able to design the bar. Goodman said he made the bar nonsmoking because he didn't want towork in a smoky atmosphere, and he believes the time has come where it's more acceptable tosmoke outside. "The non-smoking is what drew me here and the fact that it's music-driven," saidFerndale resident John,Rettmer. Goodman said his friend Andy Koch, whom he met 25 years ago, is hismusic director. Koch lines up the bands for the Wild Buffalo. This summer, the Wild Buffalo will featureDe Orpheus; Bumblebees; the Walrus, which plays Beatles tunes, and Kathi McDonald with specialguest Lee Oskar, original member of WAR. "We have a little something for everyone without the hardrock," Goodman said. "So far it's been pretty successful with the live music." Shows at the Wild Buffalo, located at 208 W. Holly St., start at 8:30 p.m., and cover charges range from $3 to $8.

Selling their own Italian pasta and coffee beans, Avellino stirs its coffee with a1977 manual-style machine that tends to make espresso shots stronger than modern espressomachines. Vacca said Avellino is known for its signature coffee drink, Cafe Rolo, a blend of mocha,homemade caramel and real chocolate chunks. Joshua Porter/The Western Front Stuart's customerscan sit outside sipping their favorite cup of Java on a sunny day, or pick a book from the shelves and sinkinto a couch for a relaxing afternoon. Besides coffee shops, Bellingham is also host to a wide array ofbookstores. Village Books, located in Fairhaven on the corner of Harris and 11th streets, has a. wideselection of books, predominantly new, ranging in subject from the crisis in Kosovo to a large children'ssection filled with Curious George and friends. "We try to highlight our literary and Northwest sections as well," said Krista Hunter, lead book buyer. Connected to Village Books for 14 years is The ColophonCafe, which offers full-service dining downstairs and a deli upstairs. Village Books has book reads onoccasional nights. "Reads give the authors a chance to speak about their books and what theirinspirations are," salesperson Nicole Couture said. The reads take place downstairs in the ReadingsGallery of Village Books and are usually free. The next read features Tony Hiss discussing his book,"The View from Alger's Window," tonight at 7:30. Henderson Books, located at 116 Grand Ave. has been providing locals with general used and new books since 1962. When walking into the 7,000 square footbookstore, a mural on the entrance â€¢ wall and a maze of approximately 200,000 used books ranging in subject from gay and lesbian studies to foreign languages capture the eye.

Midnight madness captivates Pickford audiences By Liz D o o l i t t le THEWESTERN FRONT The Pickford Cinema, Bellingham's only independent cinema, now boasts midnightmovie showings, making it stand out once again among other theaters in the area. Since its openingin November, the theater has hosted three movies shown at midnight. The first movie shown wasFrankenstein," run in conjunction with "Gods and Monsters," which was about "Frankenstein" DirectorJames Whales. The theater then showed "Spike and Mike's Sick ;:nd T ted Festival of Animation," v â€¢ ich b i great turnout. "It was hi- , ev ody loved it so we're going to bring it back next calendar," saidDunja Marton, Pickford Cinema manager. The theater has also shown "Spinal Tap"- and "Death Race2000," the latest midnight movie run. Prior to "Death Race 2000," midnight movies were only shownFriday and Saturday nights. The theater now offers a Thursday showing as well. "So far we've sold outevery night of every one that we've done," Marton said, with the exception of the first Thursday nightshowing. For "Death Race 2000," the theater was decorated in the likeness of a racetrack with conesand caution tape. Assistant manager Graham Hamby and another employee could even be seendonning racing jumpsuits. The midnight movies bring out a variety of people. Movie patron Gary Browne cited many reasons as to the appeal. "I think it adds a slight forbidden fruit â€” a sort ofmischievousness," Browne said. "Forbidden fruit tastes better. Night is when shadows and darknessmerge with the imagination." Browne likes the diversity of the people he encounters when attendingmovies at the Pickford. "At this place, people actually hang out and talk about the movies before andafterward," Browne said. Keeping with the tradition of midnight movies shown at theaters in larger cities,which show cult classics such as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," Marton and Hamby came up with an extensive list of possible movies. "The premise was definitely trashier cult B-movies; lo-fi, not a wholelot of intellect involved," Marton said. "So we pretty much just tried to think of all the kind of bad moviesthat we've ever seen." The Pickford has several other movies planned for midnight showings. "RunningJuly 22 through 24, the theater will show an encore of "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival ofAnimation." The theater also plans to show "Alien" Aug. 5 through 7, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"Aug. 12 through 14, and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," for which a date has not been set for.The Pickford Cinema is located at 1416 Cornwall Ave. ---------- Western Front - 1999 June 30 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ The Western Front 0 PINIONS Letters Editorials June 30, 1999 Seivers aren't servants Themanner in which customers treat employees has sunk to a new low. Today, people have unusually highexpectations of waiters and waitresses, supermarket checkers, bartenders and other servers of thealmighty customer. Employees in this genre of occupations have become victims of nasty customerattitudes and general disrespect acquired by the majority of customers. Would it be socially acceptableto attend a friend's dinner party and curtly and condescendingly demand a bowl of tomato soup? Would it be normal behavior to fly into an irritated fluster and angrily blame the host or hostess because thesoup was not prepared with grated parmesan cheese and basil even though the special requests werenot voiced prior to the food preparation? Oddly enough, this type of behavior is considered normal inrestaurants and diners. Immediately past the doors that separate the real world and the restaurant, where customers become center of life, a transformation occurs. Etiquette, civil manners and respect areoften left in the foyer, patience becomes a nonexistent pleasantry and the customer seems to feeljustified in treating the server like a mangy dog, which can be verbally kicked around with demands,complaints and rude comments. Customer service is an art. Good customer service is not a automaticright but a conditional privilege. Employees in customer- service occupations are not superhuman, nordo they float in a never-ending surreal world of bubbly eagerness, bending over backward and "just saying yes." At times, forcing a smile and serving a stranger becomes a near-impossible task as soon as thefirst string of complaints and orders, weighted with the irritation one who is looking to pick a tussle overnothing, fly out of the customer's mouth. This type of finger-pointing, resenting, condescendingtreatment marks poor character. This kind of behavior is petty and reflects a significant lack ofcompassion, consideration and regard for the employee who sweats, runs, bends and stresses to servethe customer. Treating an employee, whether of a grocery store or Marriott dining services, like trash is a mild form of degradation. Beneath a likely loathsome apron, customer-service employees are as humanas customers. They have bad days, tempers and feelings. They have confidences that can be worn byday-to-day reproach and complaints from customers. Everyone, whether for one day or few hours, needsto experience what it means to be an employee in a customer-service related job. For the customerwho has never played the role of server, the experience would undoubtedly be humbling and eye-opening. Granted, when a customer is paying for service, service is expected. It is a frustrating experience when,at times, customers feel they are not getting the service they paid for. Servers of all kinds should betreated with the basic civility that every human being deserves.

Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution, June6,1999 p. B4. KKK has freedom to be as racist as it wants Angela Smith COMMENTARY Free speech includes the preaching of racism. The Ku Klux Klan has long used this argument in its fight for theability to proclaim its message of white supremacy. This argument extends to the organization'sAustralian branches. Peter Coleman, a strong advocate for unconditional free speech, is the founderof the Australian KKK. His beliefs coincide with the KKrvs declaration that other races are inferior towhites. In both the United States and Australia, the organization's right to preach these beliefs isstrongly opposed. The questionable aspect of these proclamations, however, is not whether theopinions of the organization are right but whether they have the right to make them. Barry Black, head of the Imperial Klans of America, said this about the group's presence in Australia: "We are hoping towake people up and make people realize you can still live in Australia as a free person without thegovernment standing over your shoulder." He believes the right to free speech includes the preaching ofracism. He is correct. No matter how horrid or incorrect racist beliefs may be, 'No matter how horrid orincorrect racist beliefs may be, racists, whether in Australia or the United States, have the right tospeak them.' racists, whether in Australia or the United States, have the right to speak them. Allowingpeople the freedom to believe what they choose is essential to a democratic system. Freedom in ademocratic country allows people to choose their beliefs and moral values. To make exemptions for one belief might give the government the right to define everyone else's moral values based on popularopinion. Two hundred years ago, popular opinion in the southern United States was AfricanAmericans were meant only to be the underlings of white European males. Less than 100 years ago,popular opinion was women were not intelligent enough to vote. Today, one popular belief ishomosexuals should not legally marry. Popular opinion has changed and will continue to changebecause people have been given the right to speak out against beliefs they feel are unfair. We are giventhe right to argue against beliefs of the KKK just as members are given the right to preach it, and we are given the right to choose which side is correct. The ability of KKK members to speak only givesantagonists stronger arguments against their message. The truth proves many of their arguments weakand unsubstantiated, and, with the freedom to speak them, racist ideologies can be overcome. Parkand ride, Ron To the editor: This letter is in response to Ron Harris, whose letter in the June 24 editioncomplained about parking at Western. Ron suggested Western work out some sort of park-and-rideoption with the county or city. Well, Ron, you should get your facts straight before you go spouting offlike that. Many' transportation options just for Western students. See LETTERS, page 7 ---------- Western Front - 1999 June 30 - Page 7 ---------- June 30,1999 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 7 Immoral WWF exploits death of 'Blue Blazer' DanielPeters COMMENTARY The masked "Blue Blazer" plummeted 50 feet from the rafters of KemperArena, halting the pay-per-view wrestling event "Over the Edge" May 23 in Kansas City, Mo. Fifteenminutes later, paramedics wheeled the unmasked body of Owen Hart from the arena to a traumamedical center where he was. pronounced dead on arrival. As the crowd of 18,224 people watched,many suspected a dummy had fallen as part of a World Wrestling Federation publicity stunt staged forthe event. It wasn't a dummy, and many parents will have to explain to their children why their herodidn't get back up. When these kids are older, they won't just question Hart's death â€” they willquestion why the event continued after a man died for their entertainment. The crowd watched for 15minutes after Hart's fall. Fifteen minutes was all the career of the youngest son of the wrestling Hartfamily was worth to the corporate executive who made the decision to continue. ; "It's what Owenwould.have wanted," is the excuse the WWF headquarters provided as to 'The corporate wrestlingmachine, in order to boost its ratings, has responded by churning out fodder for the fans' gluttonousneed for bigger and brighter entertainment.' why they continued the multi-million dollar event. Sure, Hartwould have wanted wrestling to go on without him â€” he loved the sport â€” but did it have to go onthat night? Wrestling is a sport. It ought to be considered as dangerous as extreme sports like BASEjumping â€” skydiving from buildings and other earth-bound structures â€” since the business and thefans have pushed wrestlers into becoming stunt people. Yes, wrestling is scripted, which makeswrestlers actors as well as athletes. After all, even Jackie Chan, renowned for doing his own stunts,wasn't allowed to climb around in the rafters for his work in the movie "Rush Hour," so why was Hart,with less training, allowed to do it? Because fans aren't satisfied with a wrestling event anymore unlessmore than 20 weapons are used, the pyrotechnics are grander and the moves are more dangerous thanever before. The corporate wrestling machine, in order to boost its ratings, has responded by churningout fodder for the fans' gluttonous need for bigger and brighter entertainment. In a macabre display, theWWF went as far as to violate the expressed wishes of widow Martha Hart not to film Hart's funeral andits attendants in order to gain ratings points. The wrestling world needs to be held accountable for itsimmoral behavior, and the fans should support the Hart family in its wrongful death suit against theWWF. It is time for wrestlers to leave the rafters, get back to the mat and return some dignity to aonce-proud sport. Less guns mean less death: stricter gun control essential for public safety J.R. Cook COMMENTARY Long live b u r e a u c r a t i c gridlock. lt; -La w-makers -^-in-- Washington,- D.C.,voted down a measure that would enact tougher gun control laws. This move shows a complete lack of concern for the safety of their constituents and is going to do nothing but cause the death rate inAmerica to increase. The need for stronger gun control is obvious. Look at the high school shootingsoccurring so frequently. The violence and death that surround guns has touched nearly everyAmerican. The cost of having guns far out- ^^^^^^^ weigh the benefits. l i i S f t l l i i l il Then again,that's for those who value human life. this nation faced a real threat. Granted, the availability of guns did help us win our independence', but that line of reasoning is outdated. The threat of another countryinvading our shores is not real, and we now have a military to protect us. Back then, the averageAmerican male was in the ^military"."- * ~"*; ^ -â€¢'"-^-^:â€¢'â€¢ The Second Amendment made itpossible for people to form militias and protect themselves from invading foreign armies. The United,States now has one of the strongest militaries in the world, so the necessity for the average Joe or Janeto possess a gun is non-existent. Other gun advocates cite their right as Americans to own guns.Certain inalienable rights exist, but owning a gun is not one of them.. Many democratic countries inthe ered a right of Americans but was proven wrong. Today, the constitution should be amended formany reasons. The government needs to realize its mistakes with gun.control and figure out a way toremedy the situation, by strengthening laws or revising the Second i ^ ^ i ^ ^ ^ ^ i ^ ^ p ^ ^ SBAmendment: - ^Jmmmmmmmmmmmgm Another sen- 'Since when is anyone timent of gun ^ ^ j ^ mbreaking the advocates is: J Â° "If people law or doing something would just wrong, when no laws are ,in place to make them respect r . .-â€¢ \-=â€¢ deserve want to dothe right there thing \ world 'Manydemocratic countries in the world ban Outlawing guns guns, and their citizens are would be the bestdoing j u s t fine/ remedy, but that .?J J will never happen. . Most gun advocates use. the SecondAmendment to support their view. They argue guns are necessary for protection. That amendment wascreated when ban guns, and these citizens are doing just fine. Some notions of inalienable rightswere wrong to begin with or have become antiquated. The right to own a gun has become antiquated. Slaveholding is an example of something that was once consid-treat guns with the they than wouldn'tbe any problems." Guns don't know respect. A gun doesn't care if it is being pointed at an innocentperson, a criminal or a child. A gun is there to do one thing: kill. A person sitting on death row formurder. gets ho respect from anyone because they killed someone. Why should this instrument,designed expressly for that purpose, be held in such high regard? Seems rather contradictory, doesn't it? Recently, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation aired a story about a shootout British Columbiapolice had with a suspect. It was national news because it was the first time in five years that policehad fired shots at a suspect. In the United States, shoot-outs get local coverage if any at all, becausegun-related violence is commonplace. Canada outlawed guns and this is the result: Shoot-outs are notan everyday occurrence in Canada, and the country is a safer place to be because of it. As it standsright now, gun-related violence is on the rise. Relaxing gun control laws is not going to remedy thesituation. Since when is anyone deterred from breaking the law or doing something wrong when no lawsare in place to make them want to do the right thing? Guns aren't a necessary part of American lifeanymore. With better regulation, the threat of someone committing violent acts with guns will beconsiderably decreased. With fewer guns on the street, people will not only be safer, but the need forguns as protection will decrease. That's what this whole thing boils down to â€” safety. From LETTERS, page 6 First of all, consider the Civic Field Park and Ride. Yes, Ron, we already have a park-and-rideâ€” where Western students, faculty and staff can park in Civic Field lots and ride the bus to Western inorder to, avoid parking hassles on campus and save money by not having to buy a campus parkingpermit. Also, within a limited neighborhood around Western, anyone flashing a Western ID card can ride a bus for free to campus. The Western community can also take advantage of a WhatcomTransportation Authority bus pass, which is only $15 per month. Many students living within a closedistance of campus also walk or ride their bikes to campus. As you see, Ron, there are many optionsfor transportation to Western. It is not the school's fault if ignorant people like you refuse to find outabout them.

The camp, which started Sunday and will run through Thursday, is hosted by Western footballcoaches and players. "This camp really gives us a chance to identify kids who have potential,evaluate prospects at our campus and show them Western and what it's all about," Football Coach RobSmith said. This year's camp had to be split into two 5-day sessions this year because of thetremendous turnout this year. Smith said he has seen the camp grow from 65 players in 1990 to morethan 900 this year. "Well, we run a good camp and when you do that, we get known by word of mouth,"he said. "Then, we decided to change the focus of the camp from being individual- oriented to beingteam-oriented. Naturally, more people come that way." Shorewood High School Coach and formerWestern football player Tom Bainter has brought his team here for the past three years. ^'c:':.v;. :.^_. ^-.. : "I went to Western and know a lot of the staff here and so it's kind of natural that we go here,"Bainter said. "We're up here and we get to build that team unity and camaraderie. It's an awesomeexperience." This was also the third year South Whidbey High School linebacker Clark Nortonattended the camp. "We scrimmage a lot; it's the best part of the camp," Norton said. 'This, it's cool tohang out with everyone on the team." The football camp has seen many state championship teams andnationally recognized players pass through. Juanita High School, Lake Washington High School andAuburn High School's football teams, annual state football powerhouses, attend the camp on a yearlybasis. Travis Claridge, a former Shorewood football player who went through the camp in 1995, went onto become the number-one linebacker in the nation. He is now in his third year at University ofSouthern California. Besides teaching high school students more about the game of football, Westernfootball players have also learned about themselves through this camp. "It's really heat that theplayers get a chance to be counselors and get to interact with the kids," Western senior linebackerand co-captain Ryan Ryden said. 'Tou really are a role model and the kids really look up to you. It's abig deal." "As a player who is represented, you realize how much power you have," added sophomore wide-receiver Sean Marshall. 'They want to emulate everything that you do. If you positivelyreinforce them, you can really help them." "I get a chance to be coaching something that I aspire to do," junior quarterback R.J. Del Mese said. "First off, it's good experience for me, and second, I get toteach the stuff I have learned. It's about as good a summer job as I can think off."

Athletes go the distance atLake Padden Triathlon Courtesy of Jimmy Healey After a half-mile swim, Jimmy Healey pumps away inSaturday's Lake Padden Triathlon. High attendance at this year's event * made for good competition â€”104 people competed and 128 people participated just for fun. By Angela Smith THE WESTERNFRONT Athletes paid no mind to the dreary Bellingham weather Saturday morning as they jumped intoLake Padden's cold water for the sixth-annual Lake Padden Triathlon. "I was only one of two people who wore Speedos instead of a wet suit, and it was cold," Western student Jimmy Healey said. "I did thebackstroke for the whole half-mile," he said. "I got out of the water and I felt pretty miserable." Thecompetitive portion of the event started at 8:30 a.m. as 104 people began the triathlon with a half-mileswim, followed by a 21-mile bike ride and 5.3-mile foot race. Recreation Manager Dick Henri said thiswas the first year the event was split into competition and recreation divisions. The recreation divisionâ€” a quarter-mile swim, 10-mile bike ride and 2.6-mile run â€” began at 1 p.m. with 128 participants. "Itwent really well, there was large group of people despite the weather," Henri said. Henri said almost 15percent of the athletes had never competed in a triathlon before.. Healey, one of the first-timers,placed first in of division of men age 19 to 20. Healey, 20, was one of the youngest competitors at theevent, which was sponsored by the Bellingham Parks and Recreation Department. Jeremiah Mushenplaced first in the men's competitive division with a time of 1:37:13. Gord Addison placed second with1:42:46, followed by Darcie Montgomery at 1:48:28.

The BOCappropriated Polio Prevention Aim Of '54 March - Dimes By ROGER GROVDAHL Polio prevention is the big aim as the 1954 March of Dimes campaign gets underway. This fourth front against the dreadeddisease, is made possible by donations. Scientists are now on the threshold of solving the mysterywhich has so long shrouded infantile paralysis. In 16 short years, the March of Dimes research hasbroken through tremendous barriers that once stood in the way. The public's investment of $20,500,000in March of Dimes research has created new and potent weapons for the attack against polio. Almost 70 per cent of every dollar given is used to help the stricken. Direct financial aid been given 270,000patients. There are 3,100 chapters of National Foundation which spread over the country to has the are help patients meet every need. Until the polio attack can be checked, preparedness must be thewatchword on this costly front. Professional education, the third front against polio, concerns itself withtraining professional workers to carry on the fight. It induces capable men and women into the field byoffering scholarships and fellowships. It gives financial assistance to professional schools andorganizations. In fact, today's advance against polio is led by a scientist who studied under a March of Dimes fellowship. MORE GG Polio's newest and most dramatic combatant, gamma globulin, will beused more this year than it was last.

Through donations and other fund raising campaigns, the foundation can promise that- the gamma globulin output for 1954 will be double that oflast year. The success of gamma globulin is shown in its effectiveness in combating polio in over twentyhard hit areas "Join The MARCH DIMES January 2 to 31 from Alaska to the Florida Keys. As this year ends, 66,000 polio patients are still receiving March of Dimes aid. The National Foundation is pledged to help them in the fight. Steps are being taken to make polio a disease of the past. Winter QuarterRegistrations Over 1200 Student registration passed the 1200 mark last Thursday, January 7,announced Donald Ferris, WWC registrar. The large winter enrollment was helped by nearly 80 enteringstudents. More than 50 former students returned for Winter term classes. Winter quarter enrollment was-only 1,101 last year, 1953. Total registration is expected to reach 1,240 by January 18. Theslight drop in registration as compared to the Fall quarter is normal, declared Ferris, and is due largely to graduation a n d other causes. Heart Disease Is Often Curable "Resolved, that I will be guided by facts about heart disease, rather than fears and' phobias," is the Washington State Heart associations New Years resolution for every citizen. "Nothing can be done about heart disease," is one of the mostcommon misconceptions about disease of the heart. This is contrary to fact says the association. Some forms of heart disease can be prevented, some cured, and almost all cases can be helped. Theassociation is directing attention to these fallacies as a prelude to the February Heart Fundcampaign. Another untrue fact is that most heart attacks are fatal. Many patients can still earn their living, often without changing jobs. This fact disproves the widely spread theory that you can't work ifyou have heart disease. "Although the association does not minimize the seriousness of heart disease,the outlook warrants hope and optimism," said Dr. Clement I. K'rantz, Seattle, president. "One chiefhope is that research, supported by the Heart Fund will control this disease." Noted Historian And Critic, Bernard De Voto, To Appear Bernard De Voto, distinguished literary historian and critic, will appearon the Artist and Lecture program on Tuesday, January 11, at 10 a. m. Mr. De Voto has masteredalmost all the literary ropes, Pulitzer prize winning historian, esayist, novelist, literary critic, creator oflight fiction and teacher of literature. His prodigious writings have brought Mr. De Voto a wide andBERNARD DE VOTO varied audience, segments of which often do not realize how broad is the scope of his literary output. He has written light fiction (under the son will' show a picture on China, pen name ofJohn August) and serious novels, important books on American literature, and social history,biographical and - critical studies and a great variety of mis-celaneous pieces that have appeared inperiodicals ranging from t h e journals of learned societies to humor magazines. { ;' Mr. De Voto hasbuilt up a iarge and faithful following for his monthly commentary on the American scene and character in the pages of Harper's magazine, probably the oldest continuous column of social comment in thecountry, "The Easy Chair," has appeared for over 100 years and Mr. De Voto is the fifth person toconduct it, following in the footsteps of such famous literary lights as William Dean Howell and George William Curtis.' Born in Utah, Mr. De Voto's books reflect his Western birth. He has published a trilogyon the growth of the West, "The Course of Empire," which won the National Book award, "The Year ofDecision: 1846" and "Across the Wide Missouri" winner of the 1948 Pulitzer prize for history. Mr. DeVoto is now working on still another historical work, an edition of the Lewis and Clark journals. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 January 15 - Page 2 ---------- Students Needed: BOC Position Open Four persons have applied for the open position on the Board ofControl. This seems to be a healthy sign for the beginning of a quarter-as important as is this one instudent government elections. In a little more than two weeks filing will begin for Western?? two higheststudent government offices, as well as for two BOC positions. Top executives in any organization mustbe chosen with care. For this reason, students should be presented with a sufficiently, large choice ofcandidates to enable them to choose wisely. Too many times students refrain from filing for a positionfrom a sense of modesty. If students want able leaders, it is up to them to convince capable personsthat they should file. A college should have no shortage of capable student leaders; a shortage of nameson a ballot points up only disinterest of the students as a whole. Western's Associated Student Bodyhas an astouding amount of self-government when compared with many other colleges; Western isgrowing every year. Therefore Western's students must take care that their officers are among themost capable students on campus. BOC Commended on Literary Decision ANOTHER STEP ON THEROAD TO PROGRESS! After ASB President Henry Howe started the 1953 Fall quarter by appointing astudent publicity director, the Board of Control wound up the quarter in the same spirit of progress byacquiring another phase of student publications: The Writer. The acceptance of The Writer into the fold ofstudent supported activities marks the culmination of a great deal of work by the Winter quarter editor,Mike O'Sammon. However, since The Writer is presently on a trial basis, Editor O'Sammon and his staffhave a tough job ahead of them, in putting out the first printed copy of the magazine, of sufficient quality to assure the Board of Control that creative writing is a worthwhile student activity. Popular SingersQuestion Today's Music Trends WWCollegian Page 2 Friday, January 15, 1954 ileside Cliat By MARYANN DEXTER "What Happened to the Music" is the query made by Teresa Brewer and Don Cornell onone of then-recent discs. The two-some brings up a very good question: what has happened to themusic? In recent years the radio programs which featured "live" bands entertaining at night clubs orhotels have almost entirely died out. In their place we find the old faithful disc-jockey show. The modernrecord spinner seems to have forgotten that What happened to Patti Page? we still enjoy the smoothsophisticated rhythm of a few years back. SMOOTHIES BACK Down Beat readers, when choosingtheir favorites for '53, indicated that the trend is going back toward smoother music. In the dance bandcategory the public voted for the Les Brown crew. This band, a rocking unit with a good dance beat,features arrangements that put sound before noise, and the beat above the effect. When you hear aLes Brown recording you can distinguish the melody. Unfortunately, this cannot be said of all the popular dance bands. Vocalists Ella Fitzgerald arid Nat Cole snatched the number one places this year. Whathappened to Joni James, Patti Page, and Kay Starr? Unexpectedly, the Four Freshmen, who havemade very few. *fht cordings, came out of nowhere to take over the number one; vocal group spot. TheMills Brothers were last year's winners. Top jazz band, as picked by Down Beat readers, was StanKenton, who piled a 1,000 vote lead over the nearest runner-up. Guess that Ken-ton- man is really solid. Have you noticed that Ava's husband, Prankie, has been turning out some really good records? Take"South of the Border" for instance. It's really selling, and with Billy May backing Prankie up the record isnothing hut great. , After "Vaya Con Dios" you'd think Les Paul and Mary Ford's papularity would dropoffâ€”but uh, uh, the duo is back up there with "Kangaroo," "Don't Cha Hear Them Bells" and their latest"Jungle Bells." Speaking of bells, seems like the Bell Sisters haven't made any recordings lately.Betty Hutton has waxed a cute one called "Broke, Barefoot, and Starry Eyed." Eartha Kitt has out adisc entitled "I Want To Be Evil"â€”hmmm, she's not the only one!

He likesWestern and thinks it is a very friendly college. gt; By BbB DtJNLAP A new clubha"s been formed tojoin the ranks of the many extracurricular activities available at WWC. This is the " I ' Am RepulsiveClub." At a solemn gathering one evening last week a group of the boys were whooping it up at theLounge â€”killing time until Liberace came onâ€”and they, feeling that they had a great deal in common,decided to form an organization dedicated to the preservation . . .??? Just what it was dedicated to, Ican't remember now. Must have been something. Oh well, requirements for membership are that apotential member secure the proper response consistently when asking girls for dates. That responsebeing a heartfelt, "UGH" on her part. GALS ADMITTED TOO At a later meeting the unwrittenconstitution was amended to admit girls who could submit the same qualifications. Only in their case itwas thought best that they should confine their date seeking activities to boys. This seemed like the best arrangement and there are many precedents in our culture for it. At the charter meeting an election of officers was held. For obvious reasons their names will not be reported here. Maybe we MIGHT get adate some day. Also, since there are no dues and no regular meetings there is no representative to theInter-Club council. In fact, the "I Am Repulsive Club" is sort of an honorary society. Potential membersare invited to join. Drop in at one of the irregular meetings at the lounge. You can tel when the club ismeeting because there will be a more than norma: collection of repulsive people there -So, steer yourself toward the nearest group of goops; announce loudlj for all to hear, "I AM REPULSIVE" and sit down,boyâ€”you have founc a home. o When he took her hand in marriage He made a basic blunder Byletting her retain a thumb Which now she keeps him under The College Scene.. .. By BOB DUNLAP Itwould seem that all the petty controversies so prevalent last fall have drifted to earth with the fallingleaves. In any event, they are conspicuous, these first two weeks of the winter quarter, only by then-absence. A good deal, too, I'd say. Why, now that the hatchet is buried I saw a music major and a PEma-por drinking coffee together in the lounge. * * * TV BACK Noticed that the TV was working again.Now Liberace can be seen by all. For a while we were caught in the middle. KVOS, which operates theTV cable, claimed that the set was bad and the TV repairman claimed that the cable was bad. What doyou do in a situation like that? Anyway it was the set and it's all fixed now. Now, it seems to me, thatwith all the money that the PE department has alloted for their activities they could buy a couple of setsof new swim-fins for the mixed rec. The old ones are "kaput" and have been for sometime. * * * If youpark a car on the campus have you noticed the boo-boo that was pulled: during registration Everybodyhad their old license numbers then. Now that the new plates are coming out there is no way for tellingwho the parking violators areâ€”Mother than a "stake-out," that is.

Bonnie Hudson, WWC Senior Accident Victim By JIMSIMON "My first thought was to make myself as small as posisble so the wheels woudn't hit me if theywent over me," said Bonnie Hudson. She was not her usual bright, vivacious self as she sat down. Herbright green-hazel eyes were strained and dulled with shock. "It happened Friday night, at 11:05,according to police reports. We had just come from the show and were crossing Holly toward the Stardrug store." Bonnie was wearing a light grey coat, with white buttons and a white hat. She should havebeen visible to the driver. "I thought he had seen me and was slowing down to let us cross. My escortwas a step or two behind me and he tried to pull me out of danger." The coupe hit her sideways andthrew her parallel with the yellow line on Holly street. She lost her left shoe, and hat. Miraculously herglasses remained in place. "Now I know what they mean when they say 'the pavement rushed up atme'," Bonnie said ruefully. She had broken her fall with her hands. This fact probably saved her injuriesother than the skinned knee, bruises and shock she sustained. The young driver of the car put her into his car and took her to St. Joseph's hospital. "The funny thing was he told me he had just completed aFirst Aid course. He must have forgotten all he learned in the excitement." Still under the influence ofshock Bonnie was tiring rapidly. Her face was pale and drawn, white against the darkness of her hair.With a trace of her old self she remarked, "I hope this accident breaks the jinx. I had better break thejinx before it breaks me."

WHITS STILL TALL * :â€” : â€” Tonight the Viks meet a team with a surplus of human skyscrapers, the Whitworth Pirates.Last year you may have seen the nation's highest team (physically) when they played here. Whitworth still maintains the Evergreen conference's tallest timber with t wo sophomores Who stand six foot ten and six foot seven inches tall, and a junior who stands six foot nine. Western fans, don't head for thewailing wall already. Many teams have come into that same Western gym with impressive records onlyto leave wishing they'd never come, and the basketballers will try to make it that kind of night tonight.â€¢â€¢ Tomorrow night's scramble should be close and Eastern may make the trip back to Cheney withcensored thoughts.

According, to Matchmaker MarionBogdonovitch, "Whirlwind" will be just one of the pugilistic performers to step into the ring on January30. (How many will step out of the ring is now the subject of some controversy in athletic circles.) Asyet no definite card has been drawn up. Tickets costing 50 cents will' be on sale soon at Easy Ed's andHenry's Gym. The proceeds from this annual event will bolster the nearly defunct W club treasury andfinance the construction of a Viking ship for use at Battersby field.

Tonight's contest ,will be the roughest. The Pirates from Whitworth are almost astall as last year, and earlier this season defeated Washington State College's Cougars. Last week theydumped PLC 71-46. Eastern does not have Whit-worth's potentiality but has done very well in pre-season ball games. The experience laden Savages rose to defeat Seattle Pacific last week 85-84 inovertime. McDonald was optimistic and said, "Naturally we're underdogs but if we play as well as we can and Whitworth isn't up to par you never can tell." The big coach added, "Tomorrow night's gameshould be a good one and the chances of dumping Eastern are good." The season's top caliber ball willlarge crowds are expected both nights. Ski Classes Have More Instructors Winter quarter skiingclasses have increased enrollment over that of last year. Sixty-three students are enrolled at the present time. The beginners class has 15 men and 13 women. Fifteen men and 10 women are in theintermediate' class and in the advanced skiing class are four men and six women. Last year 50 students completed the ten Saturday lessons. , Full time instructors teaching a class in the morning and one!in the afternoon are Dr. Louise Roloff, women's PE gt; and Greg Newton of Bellingham. Part timeinstructors are Mrs. Don MacPhail, Pat Gibson, junior, and Norman Blom, sophomore. Two collegebusses leave the PE building-at 7:15 a. m. on Saturdays for the Mount Baker ski area and leave the skiarea at 4 p. m. The increased teaching staff makes it possible to keep the classes small and mostof the classes'have 10 students. The new National Ski Patrol insurance plan for $5 a year has $250coverage for accidents incurred while skiing in an area where there is a National Ski patrolman. For those interested in this - insurance plan, Dr. Roloff has application blanks. SPORTS SECTION DiminutiveSize No Drawback By ROGER GROVDAHL Size in sports is constantly discussed by thegrandstand quarterbacks, would-be baseball managers, and second guessing basketball followers.The question always arises whether the good little man is as good as the average big man. Thisquestion of Davids vs. Go-liaths will be brought into local view Friday night in our own gymnasium.Western's small team comes face to face with the giants from Whitworth, who boast at least three menover 6 ft. 6 in. Contrast these giants with the Vik stars of last year. Little Jack Anderson, Western's all-conference guard, stood barely 5 ft. 9 in. Two more classic examples of short men holding their own in Northwest basketball are the O'Brien twins, last year of Seattle be played over the weekend,andlÂ»University.The 5 ft. 9 in. stars went on to play the keystone positions for the Pittsburgh Pirates.Other sports have classic examples of small men more than holding their own againstÂ»the giant incertain fields. Bobby Shantz, proclaim^ ed by several sources the outstanding athlete of a year orso back, stands barely 5 feet 6 inches and weighs little over 140 pounds.

At Central the Vikingsjumped into an early lead by virtue of some timely field goals by Bob Stone and Earl Sande, and held a15-11 lead at the end of the first stanza. This lead was short lived as the Loggers poured on the coal toforge ahead 32-23 at the half-way mark. In the â€¢third quarter Central increased the margin to 21 points but the Vikings managed to whittle it down to ten points before the final gun. In the fracas with theLoggers the Vikings couldn't seem to get their offense rolling, as the game was ten minutes old beforethey got their first field goal. The first quarter ended with Western trailing 21-6. In the second period theViks were still in the doldrums with only two more buckets to their credit while CPS had run their lead to 38-19 by half time. The second half saw Coach McDonald's machine out-shoot and out-score theLoggers in both the third and fourth quarters, and at the five minute mark the locals were only six pointsdown, but in the remaining few minutes the Loggers pulled away to win by nine points.

Tender, Delicious, Perfect Steaks 'Declining A r t ' By MILLIE WALBATH "Make it tender!" pleads the Customer of the modernsteakhouse or cafe. But, as John Doe spoons his soup and sips his coffee, he knows that its highlyunlikely that he will get a "really good" steak. Wistfully, he recalls what grandpappy had to say about the "good old days." The way grandpappy told it, when one ate in a "Tombstone" cafe, the 1 lb. steak wasthe ladies' dish. "The chunk of. beef came fresh from the steer," he asserted, "and it was always servedon a heated platter." Those days, one could have "real butter" floating on top, plus the "intangiblesomething" that a rub of garlic lends to all cuts of beef. "Steaks were 3 inches thick, witl* fewdecorations," grandpappy had continued. "If one wanted greenery, it was garden fresh watercress,endive, or parsley. "But," grandpappy had said, "I wasn't much for rabbit food." John leaned back in therestaurant chair. He mused, "There's an art to cooking the perfect steak. One could start with the kind of grass the steer eats, with the chilling and curing process, or whether the animal is a steer or acow. Take the ordinary cut of Western steer. It can and will turn out beautifully with a "melt in yourmouth" flavor, If the cook knows what he is doing. Calmly, the cold platter with the shrivelled, greasy,thin steak (?) is set before John. He expostulates, "I see the rib, but where is the steak?" The waitresshas a quick comeback, "Impertinent remarks will get you into trouble." Floating on the steak is a pool ofhardening lard.

At seme time or another when you've bought gasoline you have probablywondered how much less a gallon would cost if our profit were taken out of the price. Actually if theUnion Oil Company made no profit on any of its products, the price of "76" or "7600" gasoline would bereduced by a little more than one penny per gallon. With this "penny-plus" we have to meet today'sinflated cost of finding and developing new oil reserves. With it we also have to pay the additionalamounts necessary to replace worn-out equipment such as pipe lines, refineries and trucks.Furthermore, out of this fraction more than a penny, we have to pay the 40,362 owners of the Union OilCompany. For without profit there would be no incentive for these men and women to put up theirmoney to buy the tools so vital in increasing the productivity of our 8,756 employees. So, as you cansee, a penny is mighty important to us. As a symbol of the small profit we make per gallon of productsold it is far overshadowed by the 8% 4* tax per gallon the Federal and State governments collect fromboth of us. â€¢Computed on basis of gasoline sold in California. This series, sponsored by the people ofUnion Oil Company, is dedicated to a discussion of how and why American business functions. We hope you'll feel free to send in any suggestions or criticisms you have to offer. Write: The President, UnionOil Company, Union Oil Bldg., Los Angeles 17, California.

He cited "philosophical differences" as the main reason for hjs decision. "There are 110reasons, but basically it is a philosophical difference with the majority of the board, which has led me to believe I cannot effectively contribute," he said. Howard, the facilities council representative, said hehad been contemplating resigning for "quite awhile." "I've sacrificed two quarters thinking the problemwould clear up," he said. The "problem" he speaks of is that the board is "confusing unity withuniformity." He said this year's board believes that to be unified, all decisions from it must be uniform."They are falling over each other to remain a group," he said. He said in the past, his individualismhas made it difficult for him to deal with the board. "My difference from the board is that I'm aconservative, and although I consider myself a democrat, I'm not a wasteful democrat," Howard said. As an example of "waste," he mentioned the "$5,000 spent on a slap-together study to evaluate thefaculty" and "trips and junkets" funded by the AS. But he said the Associated Students has potential."We've got some outstanding board members. . . . The AS could be great. It's really in a unique positionbecause it has no large-scale decisions to make or business pressures," he said. He decried "some"board members for putting their political future ahead of their job as representatives. "They are oftenon an ego trip. I wish some board members would stop worrying about campaigning and instead justrepresent the students," he said. AS President Kathy Walker said she was "surprised" to hear of theresignation. "This will modify the board's decisions. Jack Howard has always represented an important segment of the student body," she said. Fellow AS representative Greg Sobel said he was"disappointed," especially by the complaints about the board. "It sounds like he doesn't respectanyone on the board. I've tried to develop open communications with Jack. Sometimes' it's been achallenge," Sobel said. Howard said the board either will appoint his replacement or allow him to selectsomeone. â€”Eric Hookham abandons petition Ron Wells has resigned as chairman of the AssociatedStudents Facilities Council. He also said he has abandoned his attempt to have AS boardrepresentative Dan Moore recalled. "I'm finished with student government," he said. "I resigned becauseof the students of the university who don't care." Openly bitter, he said the Associated Studenis is"satisfied only with its personal wants and desires." He said he recommends trying to abolish theAssociated Students. "With the money (spent on the AS) we should build something useful, like aswimming pool or parking lots," Wells said. "But I don't think that's possible, unfortunately." JackHoward, AS facilities representative who is a member of the facilities council with Wells, said, "I think he just ran out of steam, but I think he's happy as a clam with his decision." With his resignation, Wellsalso has given up trying to have Activities Council Representative and Chairman Dan Moore recalledfrom office. Wells said he found that when students who wanted to sign the recall petition were asked toname Moore's position, "80 percent" could not. So he called off the petition rather than have Mooreunjustly voted out of office, he said. Wells had charged Moore with "gross dereliction" of his duties,"misappropriation, and repeated violations" of AS rules and supplies and "numerous violations of ASstatutes and procedures." Moore said he was "happy" to hear the petition has been abandoned. "I don'tthink it was necessary or warranted in any way. The problems have all been worked out," Moore said. â€”Eric Hookham Joe Kennedy stumps here for uncle Ted The students donned blue and white"Kennedy for President" buttons, flipped through the candidate's leaflets for the third time, not mindingthat Joseph Kennedy III was almost 20 minutes late. A Kennedy, to most people in Western's packedlecture hall Thursday, was something worth waiting for. And when he finally arrived, the son of the lateRobert Kennedy and nephew of Edward made up for the delay, giving the students what they wanted.Not only did he look like a Kennedy, with the familiar toothy smile and curly hair, he acted like one â€” self-assured and aggressive. Within 15 minutes he had vibrantly denounced nuclear power, the draft,oil corporations and, mostly, President Carter. Describing Carter as a "so-called Democrat," he said the Democratic Party has experienced "an erosion in principle." Carter's proposal to cut $15 billion fromthe federal budget, he said, "is just not the way a Democrat finds solutions." He criticized thepresident's economic policies, noting the inflation rate has risen from 4.8 percent to 18 percent duringCarter's administration. "The difference between Kennedy and President Carter," he said,". . . is thedifference between the Republican and Democratic Parties." The average American is suffering fromCarter's voluntary wage and price controls, which, he said, will cost the average family an additional $1,000 a year. "There are people in our country who make money off of inflation, and you don't have tolook far to see who they are," he said. "Do you think international bankers suffered last year?" heasked. He named Exxon as one of the corporations making enormous profits at the expense ofconsumers. "Exxon is taking out full-page ads to boast they made $4 billion last year," he said.Inflation, he said, is caused by two human qualities: waste and greed. Wage-price controls supportedby his uncle "would stand up to these," he said. He said Kennedy has fought "tooth and nail" forpassage of public health insurance, and supports using a payrolltax to insure that elderly citizensreceive Social Security benefits. "It's time we put a real Democrat into office," he said. When asked ifthe senator will â€¢pursue reductions in military aid to oppressive regimes, he said his uncle's goal is to"wean" the United States of its dependence on foreign ^-countries. The United States, however, mustfoster development in Third World countries by exporting advanced technology. Students also askedabout the draft and nuclear power, drawing a. negative response from Kennedy on both issues. "Youcan't say the volunteer army is a failure as long as the base pay stays at about $300 a month," he said., â€¢ Opposed to nuclear power, Kennedy would support shutdown and conversion of all nuclearpower plants, he said. Kennedy said he started his own non-profit oil company last year and alreadyhas delivered two shipments of heating oil to Boston, where it was sold for 40 percent less than thenormal rate. At a reception after the speech he denied, with a smile, having political aspirations, addingthat even if his uncle wins he will return to his oil company rather than seek a governmental position.â€”Shellee Nunley JOE KENNEDY SPEAKS before full house last Friday in Lecture Hall 4. (photo by Tore Oftness) AS to provide alternative book market Students selling books this quarter will have analternative market to the Nebraska Book Company which presently buys through the Co-op Bookstore. The Associated Students will begin a used-book exchange to save students money, Greg Sobel, ASboard member, said. Students' books will be collected during finals week, March 17-21, at thebookstore. The names of book owners and the selling price will be recorded on an envelope andplaced in the book. During the first week of spring quarter, books will be sold from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Sasquatch Room in VU 350, where payments will be put in the envelopes and given to the cashier.Sellers will give the cashier 25 cents for each of their books sold to help defray costs of the program.Currently, the Nebraska Book Company buys students' books and sells them back to Western for aprofit. The bookstore then sells the books back to the students at a profit. "The book exchange wouldact as a-go- between for students to keep the flow of money between them," Sobel said. AS PresidentKathy Walker praised â€¢the plan, saying it was one of the issues in her campaign platform a year ago."This will fulfill a real need because people'feel they've been ripped off at the end of the quarter," Sobelsaid. Both Sobel and Walker credit Alan Cote, chairman of the bookstore council, for putting the newidea into effect. "I got the idea from a student about six months ago," Cote said. The AS board will hireabout three people to work at the book exchange. Students now will have a choice whether they wantcash at a low guaranteed rate with the Nebraska Book Company . or if they want to take a chance andsell their books at a better price, Sobel said. â€”Mick Boroughs ---------- Western Front - 1980 March 11 - Page 2 ---------- AS needs watchdog Recent resignations by Jack Howard and Ron Wells show all is not serene with theAssociated Students. The AS might dismiss the two as politicians lacking necessary skill and ambition to remain, but it also should be recognized a major portion of their grievances very well could be valid. Ifso, students should act accordingly. It seems Howard and Wells are disillusioned with the AS. Thiscould be traced to a board trait of "unity at all costs," where disagreement and individualism often arediscouraged. Howard is known for his fiscal conservatismâ€”he does not like to waste AS money, hesaid. Thus, he often has been at odds with the rest of the board. Wells also has belittled what he believes is AS ineptitude and mismanagement. As an outsider of the board, he said the AS has shunned hisattempts to solve those problems. It is possible Howard and Wells are completely wrongâ€”the AS might be spending money wisely, its members might be acting responsibly. But what if Howard and Wells have legitimate complaints? Students cannot take a chance. Without Howard and Wells to criticize theAS, students might lose. Now that they are gone, students must watch the AS more closely. Nextquarter, as it was this quarter, AS board meetings begin at 4 p.m. Tuesdays. It would be wise to attendthem. â€” Comment- Kennedy audience duped by rhetoric There he was, a member of the Camelotbrigade, Joseph Kennedy, III. It seemed almost too good to be true: a Kennedy actually visiting sleepyBellingham. There must be a God! And ol* Joseph, looking dapper and handsome, didn't disappointhis adoring audience. As is the Kennedy custom, Joseph said nothing of substance. Instead, helaunched, into a tell-them- what-they-want-to-hear monologue. Joseph said his uncle opposes the draft;he opposes nuclear power; he opposes letting the free market system run itself; he opposescorporations. And when asked about his uncle's stance on foreign policy, Joseph replied that Teddyopposes repressive regimes. In effect, Joseph catered, not unexpectedly, to the whims of the audience,an audience long on Utopian dreams but short on contact with life's realities. Joseph said his uncle wouldincrease social welfare programs without once mentioning who will pay for them and how much taxes will be increased to meet the bills. But the audience didn't mind. They cheered and applauded / Joseph'sexhortations, and only asked him questions that would elicit a favorable response. â€¢ The crowd'sconduct was disgustingâ€”and frightening. It was disgusting and frightening because one would think that people considering themselves educated would look beyond the surface, beyond the charisma. But thestudents didn't; they were too caught up in nostalgia. They seem to believe that once Teddy becomespresident, America will be fine and good works will once again prevail. It's all too easy. They seem tohave forgotten, as the Kennedy clan apparently has, that no easy solutions exist. That requires morethan a family espousing idealism and people who fail to grasp reality. The crowd that adored Kennedylast week is no different from the people who blindly follow Ronald Reagan, or those now jumping on theJohn Anderson bandwagon without stopping to examine the candidate beyond his rhetoric. Kennedy'sfans here proved they are much like the candidate they adoreâ€”full of nothing. â€”Steve Valandra Â©1979 The New* and Otacrver DiXntiuWd by L.A. Times Syndicate Comment Courts should take closerlook when deciding custody cases While women have struggled for fair treatment in the job market,they have maintained a distinct advantage in another area for much too long. Thanks to outdated sexroles, women are still favored in an overwhelming majority of child custody battles, with nine out of10 children of divorced parents ending up in sole custody of the mother. Courtroom prejudice in favorof the divorced mother is robbing many fathers of a role too long thought to belong to women. Judgesassign youngsters to the . mother so routinely that lawyers - usually advise their male clients not tobother bringing a case. New York Supreme Court Justice Sybil Hart admitted that a custody fight is"an act of futility unless the woman is a prostitute and practicing in front of her children, or a chronicalcoholic Who falls down drunk, or a psychotic who is threatening the children's lives." Evidently, thecriteria for motherhood is minimal. Supposedly, custody is based oh the "best interests of the child." Achild's best interest is not necessarily his mother. Fifty-nine percent of women 18 to 64 now work; thebelief that the.mother spends more time with her child is no longer true. Women, by nature, are no more qual ified to raise a child than is a man. Anyone can open a can of soup, throw a load of clothes in amachine or drop a child off at a day care center. What matters is how much love and support a child willreceive. A myth, apparently alive and well in many courtrooms, is that' men lack the inherent capacity to love and nurture a child and generally wish to be free of children after divorce. Any man willing to take a case to court and face an outrageous legal bill is undoubtedly sincere. Researchers at Harvard havefound that social conditions mold the way fathers relate t,o their children and a potential exists amongmen for caring for their young. A child needs a motherâ€”all psychologists agree on this point. But isa woman a superior mother to a man? Or is it that society has imbedded the notion in little boys' mindsthat the ultimate goal in life is to be a Green Bay Packer, mean and grisly. Motherhood. How endearingare the connotations of the word. But let's face it: gone are the Ozzie and Harriet days of cookies afterschool and dinner at six. In homes where both parents work, a child receives no more attention from hismother than from his father. Men deserve a chance. In a study of 130 fathers, a Brandeis Universitysociologist found that single dads become more people-oriented and less concerned with work. While itis a shame that a child cannot be raised by both parents, when a choice must be made, let it be judgedon the parent's capacity to love, not on gender. â€”Shellee Nunley Senate solves divorce When theyrealized that too many of Washington's sons and daughters weren't taking marriage seriously, the stateSenate arrived at a remarkably roundabout remedyâ€” raise the cost of a marriage license to $ 16 from $8. That should certainly cause the three out of five couples who refuse to wait' till death do them part to think twice. Perhaps it also shows which of love or money forges the strongest bond. Americans are,after all, naturally good at business. If marriage came to be a financial enterprise, it might have abetter chance. Staying married not only saves you the loss of $ 16, but also from investing $58 in aDo-It-Yourself Divorce Kit. These politicians have a great affection for doubling things . interest rates,marriage licenses, their own salaries . . . that sort of thing. It's just simpler, you see, because even thepeople who never could grasp fractions or percents could wield the twos of the multiplication table.AlLthe extra $8 that doubling brings will pay counselors to tell fighting spouses why and how to staymarried. Let it be understood this bill didn't pass with a landslide, the fine score 28-21. Some feared theincrease would extinguish couples enthusiasm for the institution, encouraging that nasty habit oflicentious cohabitation without white lace and license. Perhaps more of the opposition were just notimpressed by the bill's potential effectiveness. â€”Beth Herman Editorial Policy Staff Opinionsexpressed in editorials reflect those of the Western Front and not' necessarily those of the university orthe student body.

At this pointwe'd like to clarify our position. One of our concerns is efficiency. We've seen indications ofinefficiency, especially in the business and financial affairs department. An example we pointed out earlier related to the decision to place more students in the Birnam Wood and Buchanan Towerapartments. When we questioned that policy we were told that 874 students were rejected from thehousing and dining system last fall due to lack of space. We later discovered the true figure to be 342. Another situation occurred a year earlier when a 5 percent housing rate increase was rescinded when itwas discovered that a housing employee had overlooked two months income. Mistakes such as theseoften occur due to human error. But if no one is reviewing and checking, simple mistakes can becompounded into serious problems. The administration then finds itself in a position in which it feels itmust defend itself. Though efficiency seems to be a problem, our main concern is with honesty andopenness. Decisions are made regularly at this university behind closed doors. Decisions having asignificant impact on students' lives should be made with student involvement. In the case of theBirnam Wood/ Buchanan Towers issue, University President Paul Olscamp set the policy first, andthen asked the committee on housing and dining for input. Concerning the new freshman priority housing policy, the process was similar. Asking for our input after decisions have been reached is pointless. We don't respect tokenism. We're disturbed by a situation that has come to light during the past week.Last year, Olscamp created the Energy Conservation Advisory Committee (ECAC). He admitted that hisintention was to use energy conservation to raise money for a faculty pay increase. While a salary raiseis in order, we expressed our opinion that it is an inappropriate motivation for conservation. We havebeen pushing for serious, ongoing energy conservation efforts. The administration has agreed toseveral plans. Included were commitments to create an ongoing student internship, to print acomprehensive insert for the Front, to distribute a building closure policy poster describing feedback channels, and to include a substantial energy conservation education funding request for the 1981-83 operating budget. Now it seems the administration is backing out of some of these commitments.We're not sure whether this indicates a lack of openness or a lack of honesty. But we are clear that astatement such as "This is not a high priority on my desk" is not an adequate reason for scuttlingdecisions reached in campus committees or other meetings. There is an inherent limitation in ourpointing out inadequacies in policies or procedures used in reaching those policies. We can onlycomment on actions we know about. We usually know of actions -only after they have occurred. We doour best to learn of and positively impact plans while they are still open. That's our job as yourrepresentatives. But for us to be most effective requires cooperation and openness by the administration. Kathy Walker Greg Sobel BA degree info Western Front: Until I talked to Registrar Eugene Omey last month, I was under the impression that a bachelor's degree was awarded for each major completed. Ideclared two majors assuming I would be awarded two degrees upon their completion. That is not thecase. A double major is simply part of a degree program as is a major-minor combination. Anothermisconception I have found among some of my friends is that 500-level courses apply toward the 180credits needed for graduation. They do not. It is my hope that this letter will save other seniors frombeing shocked at the time of their credit evaluation. Wayne E. Wakefield Drivers beware WesternFront: I ask that you please let this testimony- be a warning to other fellow students who wish tosave a few dollars by performing a minor car maintenance check, an oil and a filter change. Do notperform the operation at a coin-operated car wash. Although the drainage gratings allow the oil to drainfreely, and the overhead shelter offers protection from the rain, the fine for polluting the environmentis $500, and the bail is $ 150. The advantages are not worth the loss of $650, espe-. cially when youwant to save' money in the first place. The car wash was recommended to me by friends as the ideallocation to change engine oil. I found out differently. While I was changing the oil in my car at a carwash, the owner informed me that my actions were unlawful. He said that the drains were connected tothe city's sewage system. The only method of removing the oil from the drains is to have it pumpedout, a costly operation. Instead of turning me in to the authorities, the owner asked that I inform othersthat a car wash is not the place to change engine oil. Because of his concern for the environment, hisbusiness, his understanding that many folks are unaware of the violation, he allowed me to learn frommy mistake without having to pay $650, under one condition, that I tell others of my experience. Hedecided that, this once, he would employ the old-style punishment of "lecturing and giving a warning."My lesion is the one warning. He really does not want to see students getting in trouble with the lawand having to shell out $650 which they more than likely do not have. So, take heed and really saveyourself some money: invest in an oil pan. Theresa Yarnell Questions tax Western Front: As I wasreading the cover story in the March 4 Front concerning the transit fare hike, I noticed an interesting anddisturbing point:- that the elimination of the state sales tax on food has also cut funding of the city'stransit system. I would like to know which services to state residents were cut or dropped with thisloss in state revenue and which ones were kept. Considering our present governor's policies, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if state funding of nuclear waste dumps and new highway projects, such as thecontroversial 1-90 bridge, that promote increased private vehicle use, remained untouched. The time is past due for a hard look at our priorities. I feel that mass transit is a valuable and sensible way todecrease our dependence on foreign fossil fuels and to conserve energy. It hurts to see that the statedoesn't alstvfeel this way.

For the last few years, Westernstudents from British Columbia have not paid out-of-state tuition. Since last month Washingtonresidents attending British Columbia colleges get the same break. This change resulted from a billpassed by the state Legislature Feb. 18, establishing a committee to consult nearby states andBritish Columbia about possible reciprocal tuition agreements. Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz, chairman ofthe Higher Education Committee, said the new reciprocal tuition agreement will be a benefit touniversities and students. Goltz said it will allow students to attend schools in other areas, that havebetter programs than in this state, thus saving the student out-of-state tuition costs. It will save the statemoney because programs will not have to be developed here that are offered elsewhere. The committeealso has worked out reciprocal agreements between counties in Washington and Oregon that arelocated along the Columbia River, and now is studying possible agreements with Montana and Idaho,Goltz said. â€”Dave Thomsen Law and religion meet An appeal of the Feb. 27 decision confirming the legality of Western's recognition policy probably will be filed soon, said Mike Dittman, Westernstudent and lead plaintiff in the original lawsuit. The campus religious groups will meet with their lawyersthis week to determine when to file the appeal, Dittman said. He said U.S. District Court Judge TJonaldVoorhees' opinion was vague and did not settle the issue of restriction of religious groups' FirstAmendment freedoms of speech, assembly and religion. "You've got freedom of speech as long as it's not religious," Dittman said. The decision, he said, concentrated on state and federal constitutionsrequiring separation of church and state. "We don't believe that's the overriding issue," Dittman said.Dittman added grounds for the appeal probably would be the religious groups' First Amendment rightsand 14th Amendment right to due process of law. He said the meeting with the lawyers will determinethe exact grounds. â€”-Barbara Jarvis T SHIRTS SWEATSHIRTS JACKETS CLUB TEAMDISCOUNTS 1111 N.

If successful, the group will conduct its first meeting this quarter. The USC, comprised of fivestudents, three administrators and two faculty advisors, develops policy for non-academic studentservices. The USC supervises services such as the bookstore, housing and dining and financial aids todetermine "if they are operating in the best interests of the whole university," said Luis Ramirez,USC administration representative. The USC also reviews student complaints. Before making policydecisions, however, a quorum of six persons is necessary. The council has fallen short in its twoprevious meetings this quarter. Six members contacted by the Front said schedule conflicts prevented the necessary quorum. "It's been an insane quarter," said Tom Schworer, a student representativewho has been on tour with the drama department all quarter, and has not been present at either of theUSC meetings. Faculty representative Carol McRandle said committee sessions are scheduled duringthe day because many of the students live off campus. Because she had a class scheduled that hour, she said she could not attend the first meeting. Student representative Karen Tofte. who has attendedeach meeting, said the possibility of 5 p.m. committee sessions was once discussed but "it came outpretty negative." Another student representative, Phil Kneisley, who learned of his membership the night before the first meeting, said he could not rearrange his schedule on such short notice.

Francis Coppola, writer-producer- director, provides theviewer with an imaginative picture of what it was like during those hellish years of the war. Of coursenobody really knows.what it was like unless they were actually there. The cinematography in"Apocalypse Now" is excellent in scenes such as the helicopter attack on the Viet Cong led by thelieutenant colonel (Robert Duvall). And the trip up the river by Army Capt. Willard. (Martin Sheen) andthe three young American soldiers in search of Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) is creatively done, leavingthe viewer in suspense. Other scenes, such as the American soldiers waterskiing and the scenewhen the tiger leaps out of the bushes to scare two American soldiers, are comic relief to the gory film.After one soldier is killed on the river, Willard and the two remaining men finally reach Kurtz, who isliving with natives and military drop-outs. Scene after scene of decapitated bodies lying around is a clearmessage of Kurtz's insanity and his desire to kill. Willard finally murders Kurtz with a machete while thenatives slaughter water buffalo nearby. "Apocalypse. Now," filmed for more than $24 million, is anexcellent film about war. But the end of the movie was sloppily done and takes away some of thequality. If "Apocalypse Now" wins any of the eight academy awards it is nominated for, which it probably will, it should be for special effects only. â€”Chuck Mingori and the nominees are . "KRAMER VS.KRAMER / # BREAKING AWAY 'Breaking Away9 may steal Oscar Actor Dennis Christopher wins two ways in the racing movie, "Breaking Away." He places first in a bicycle race in his hometown ofBloomington, Ind., becoming the town hero, and he succeeds in playing the clean-cut, all-Ameri-can boy that Director Peter Yates seems to want. Christopher steals the show as Dave, a "cutter" and town boywho doesn't attend the local university or drive fast sports cars like the college frat crowd. He has anItalian fetish which drives his father crazy; his cat's name is Fel-lini and he shaves his legs in time toItalian opera music. It also sets him apart from his other friends who are normal, but boring. Cyril (DanielStern) is shy and ready to apologize for anything, Mike (Dennis Quaid) regrets his loss of status fromquarterback to summer bum, and Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley) desperately wants to grow up; heattempts this feat by getting married to a local girl. The low-budget movie is light-hearted with a goodrapport between the actors, especially Dave and his father. Although predictable, the plot is aguaranteed tear-jerker when Dave admits he really is neither an Italian nor a cutter. He carries on. Thefilm's climax is when Dave wins a bicycle race-despite numerous setbacks. He then settles happilyinto society and college life, until he meets a French girl. Then life takes another twist. Hardlyconsidered a big Oscar contender, "Breaking Away" could steal the hearts of the voters at the AcademyAwards. â€”Sue Borter Best Picture nominee, "All That Jazz" long on self-indulgence, short in real depth "All That Jazz" is an autobiographical sketch of director Bob Fosse that seeks to show him through theeyes of director Fosse as well as through the mind of the man Fosse. The movie is a surrealistic journey as we follow Fosse in the making of a film. Interspersed with this film within a film is Fosse, played byRoy Scheider, talking with "Death"as he appraises his own life, mostly hjs sexual life. The Fossecharacter Joe Gideon, is supposedly the synthesis of many characters, the most dominating of whichis Fosse. It seeks to show a man whose life is dominated by his job so that the two are inseparable:Gideon is an oversexed workaholic driven alternately by extreme egotism and self-doubt whose morningbegins ' with a dexedrine, a shower and the words 'â€¢ "showtime" before the mirror. Each day it endswith him in the bed with his latest "love." The movie is visually a knockout and ' the viewer is at timesoverwhelmed by the dynamics on the screen. It helps to offset a script that is long in self indulgence and short in real depth. Were it not for the dance scenes and lavish sets and costumes the film would notbe watchable. /-â€ž T Gary Lorentson Henry steals "Kramer" show "Kramer vs Kramer" has beennominated for nine Academy Awards, among those, Dustin Hoffman for best actor, and Meryl Streepand Jane Alexander for supporting actress, not to mention Best Picture. But the central character, theobject of controversy, without whom there would have been no picture, was overlooked. As Billy Kramer,Justin Henry stole every scene he appeared in. Maybe it was the blond hair, those huge waif-like eyes,or the kind of childish innocence that gets to most, but Henry has got to be one of the best child actorsto hit Hollywood in a quarter.century. When Billy laughed, the audience laughed, when Billy hurt, theaudience hurt, and when he cried, the moist eyes in the theater outnumbered the dry ones. Not todetract from Hoffman, Streep or Alexander,.all were excellent in their parts, especially Hoffman. If ever hedeserved an Oscar, it's now as much as ever. Kramer is probably his finest effort to date. "Kramer vsKramer" came out just in time to offer relief to America's movie goers, who must be tiring of space flicksand horror movies. Kramer is a love story, a dramatic and intense story, and best of all, it has a happyending. Or at least a satisfactory one, for those rooting for fatherhood. Right now "Kramer vs Kramer" isthe hottest movie in the country, grossing more than $3 million a week, and definitely is a front runner, if not the odds-on favorite to grab Best Picture accolades. â€¢ Lynn Keebaugh Field: 'Gidget' grows up"Norma Rae" probably won't win the academy award for best motion picture; its competition is too heavy. The leading actress, Sally Field, could take the best actress award, though. The film has a message,it's entertaining at times and moving. The true-life story focuses on Norma Rae, who was instrumentalin forming a union at a Southern textile mill, and a New York labor organizer named Rueben (RonLiebman). Their relation is platonicâ€”Norma Rae marries a local man (Beau Bridges)â€”put Reuben is acatalyst who changes Norma Rae's, and the town's, lifestyle. "It's the kind of film I'd take my nephew to," said Jerry Kuhn, owner of the Picture Show theater in Old Fairhaven. Shown there last summer, the film did a "slightly better than average run" of three weeks, he said. The movie probably will be brought backbecause of its academy award nominations, he added. Kuhn commented, as has everyone else who has seen the film, that Sally Field is now a serious actress. After playing such lightweight roles as TheFlying Nun, Gidget Goes t o . . . , and a Girl with Something Extra (ESP), she broke away fromtelevision, her husband and her home in 1974. She returned to the small screen in 1976 with "Sybil" (afilm about a schizophrenic, which won Field an Emmy). But "Norma Rae" has turned out to be her life-saver. She has escaped her typecast roles, and can be considered one of the great actresses today."Norma Rae" and Sally Field were nice surprises last year. EricHookham ---------- Western Front - 1980 March 11 - Page 6 ---------- esiern rront Tuesday, March 11, 1980 Wilsons dominate latest Heart release The circumstancessurrounding "Bebe Le Strange," Heart's fifth recording effort, create a 1980s equivalent to FleetwoodMac's "Rumours." But while Fleetwood decided that staying together was the best course for theirmusic's sake, Seattle's pride and joy went the opposite direction. Roger Fisher, the guitarist responsiblefor the wizardry of "Magic Man" and, more recently, the soaring leads in "Mistral Wind," is gone.Fisher's limited role in Heart's last album, "Dog and Butterfly," was an early clue to the eventualdeparture of fellow-guitarist Nancy Wilson's heartthrob. Mike Fisher, Roger's brother and the group'sformer sound man, has parted company with vocalist Ann Wilson and the group as well. It may soundlike a complicated script for "Days of Our Heart" or "AH My Rockstars,"but the musical result issimple: Ann and Nancy dominate the music almost as' much as they dominate the cover of Heart'slatest release. It is no secret the Wilson sisters are at the forefront of the group, and they deserve theposition. Ann's rich vocals improve with every album, and Nancy, whether playing acoustic or electric, is rock's premier female guitarist. Their talents, are constantly growing, but the Wilsons occasionallypush too hard on "Bebe Le Strange." Ann capably pounds the electric bass on the title track, but herbass work is suspect on "Sweet Darlin," the disc's finale. -"... Darlin" is otherwise a beau-' tifullyconstructed song featuring Ann on drums, alto flute, tambourine, acoustic guitar, piano, bass andvocals. Ann takes sole writing responsibility for the song, while childhood friend Susan Ennis (who firstappeared on "Dog and Butterfly") writes with the Wilson sisters on six of 10 songs. Nancy tries her hand at solo production, too, playing everything but drums on the self-penned "Raised On You." The songshowcases her versatility, but earlier compositions, notably "Treat Me Well" from "Little Queen" domore to enhance Nancy's playing style. The blond guitarist also uses the new album to record "SilverWheels," long a Heart concert number. Performed on an Adamas acoustic guitar on stage, Nancy usesa classical guitar to add a new" dimension to the instrumental. With Roger Fisher's departure, Nancy iscalled on to handle more electric guitar-parts. She takes the lead on "Even It Up," the album's firstsingle. The opening hook is reminiscent of "White Lightning and Wine" and "Heartless," but morecommercially accessible with the addition of the "Tower of Power" horn section. "Down oh Me" returnsHeart to the format of "Mother Earth Blues" from the "Magazine" release. Ann's vocals are heated andpowerful, and guitarist Howard Leese's lines are smooth, but he detracts from the cut with an annoying synthesizer line. Leese, who also handles keyboard duties, contributes the well-worn but effectivereverse-tape solo to "Break." The song keys on the power of Ann's vocals. "Now I know there's a crackin this plan/After a while there just ain't no more magic, man," Ann 'sings in "Break." Some may guessthe song is about Roger Fisher's split from the band, but a recently televised film of Heart in the studioshowed that Fisher was still with the group when the song was written. The new album should work well on stage with Heart's current cast, including the Wilsons, Leese, drummer Michael Derosier and bassplayer Steve Fossen. The sound is tight, but the live outcome of Heart standards like "Crazy On You"remains in question. Northwest fans must wait until late summer for an answer. Heart is scheduled toperform in Seattle with the "Bebe Le Strange" tour in August. â€”â€¢Kevin Stauffer Troupe will perform'Squash' The San Franciscd" Mime Troupe, contrary to its name, does not perform mime in thetraditional silent style. The troupe's productions are exaggerated musical comedies with originalscripts and music written by the members of the group. The politically oriented collective has beengiving free performances of its plays for 20 years in San Francisco Bay Area parks during the summer. The remainder of the year is spent touring the country witha play to raise money to finance the following summer's show. The group's current northwest coast tour of "Squash" includes performances inEugene, Portland, Olympia, Seattle and a showing in Bellingham tomorrow . night. The Mime Troupeoriginally was organized in 1959 by Ronnie Davis and a small group of actors who wanted to bringoriginal, avant-garde and meaningful theater to the people. The group began doing mime, then focusedon several plays by Bertolt Brecht and finally developed their own musical comedy style. Thegrowing success of the Mime Troupe prompted them to publish their own book, "By Popular Demand," which includes several of the group's best original plays and music and 150 photographs. Theyhave also made a recording of a few of their most successful songs from their plays. "Squash" will beperformed at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Eagles Hall, 1125 N. Forest.

KimArrow, dance program director, has put together this program with his assistant, Peggy Cicierska,who describes it as a "movement theater event." The show, choreographed by Cicierska and Arrow, willbe performed by five actors and 11 dancers from the theater dance department. They will present several original abstract scenes and rhythmic dances. The title evolved from the recurrent theme ofrepressive cages, represented as stages in life from childhood, through adolescence, middle age and old age. The event is about manipulation, awareness and realization of these mental cages and the struggle to break free from their grasp, Cicierska said. To complement this theme, a mixture of Tibetan,Japanese and East Indian ethnic music was chosen for the performance. The combination of abstractpercussion rhythms and structured improvisational movement creates "images that have a surrealeffect," Arrow said. The 90-minute event will include dramatic scenes by acting students AnnetteDevick, Eve Minuck and Shari Watson. Dance solos will be performed by Brent Solvason, Mike Miller,Jennifer Havlin and Loren Whiteside, and an ironical scene with a comic element, written andperformed by Ian McRae-Graham. One scene, done in the style of absurdist playwrights EugeneIonesco and Samuel Beckett, is about three women, a grandmother, mother and daughter, hopelessly trying to bridge the generation gap. The combination of dance and drama in one event is somethingCicierska and Arrow have wanted to put together for some time. The result of these plans has been eight weeks of intensive rehearsals for â€¢ the performers, Cicierska said. "The kids have been veryresponsible. . .very enthusiastic and supportive. We've been working off of their energy," she said.The program finishes with a dance piece that brings all the movements together in unison. Thisemphasizes the thematic idea that perception is relative to context and that the awareness of anobject changes as surroundings change. "Cages",will be performed in the round at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow t h r o u g h S a t u r d a y in the Performing Arts Center 199. Tickets are $3 for general admission, $2for students.

She is a young, black singer who takes her four-octave, splendidly controlled voice with equal ease intothe sounds of soul, blues and a buoyant, high-spirited light rock... In the lower registers Danielssometimes exhibited a husldness reminiscent of the better femme jazz singers, and in the upper a crystal purity of tone... The songs, like the style, were constantly varied, always stimulating, nevermonotonous... She Joined the combo at the keys and proved herself ah accomplished instrumentalist, she hit the blues with an intensity of feeling that is the essence of souL" THE FACTS "Ms. Daniels is one of the few lounge entertainers hereabouts who, given the desire and proper management, seems ready forthe big time. Meanwhile, the big time's loss is the Seattle audience's gain." Ed Baker, SEATTLE TIMES"When Dee sings, she tells a story, she touches the insides of people. Her music has a spirituality..."SEATTLE SUN "Dee Daniels... is carving quite a reputation for herself." "Dee Daniels.

If she gets the breaks, the world at large willhear from her." Ed Baker, SEATTLE TIMES "... it's becoming obvious that in only two years Dee hadreached the top of the Northwest entertainment scene, and is still on her way u p . . . Dee is a beautifulblack woman who is a pleasure to watch perform... Dee Daniels can sing and perform, with grace, styleand a vast amount of talent... When Dee performs she generates a warm, close bond between herself and her audience. It is something close to an electric empathy." THE GUIDE "Dee is more than just asinger. She is an artist, creative and vitaL Sitting, slightly bent over her electric piano, her voice warms the lyrics and rhythms of blues and ballads. Then the tempo changes to an upbeat number and the powerand range of her voice become evident" Patricia Fisher, SEATTLE TIMES 1224 CornwallAvenue/Bellingham, Washington 98225 No Cover Charge Dee Daniels, one of the Northwest's mostpopular entertainers, will be performing at The Casino Lounge in the Leopold Hotel from 3/11/80 to3/22/80. Daniels, who has entertained audiences from Seattle to Los Angeles, has been acclaimed bycritics as a star on the edge of the horizon. A dynamic entertainer, Daniels has a voice that warms eachsong's lyrics, a four-octave range that gives them power, and a style that is exclusively hers. Unusuallyversatile, Daniels has performed with a band and as a singles act. Preferring the latter because it affordsher a special intimacy with her audiences, Daniels has developed two very distinctive approaches into her act. One is the monologue preface to a tune that has effectively enticed and suspended her audiences for the musical interlude that follows. The other is a piano introduction that sets the tone for both upbeattempos and lighthearted ballads. Using both in the course of an evening, Daniels has developed a special ability to reach out to every member of her audience in a way that says, "I'm here just for you." Equallyversatile is Daniels'expansive repertoire of the best of everyone's favorites, from lively disco, contemporary, and pop, to the moody and sorrowful blues. Like an accomplished jazz entertainer, her style involves amajor portion of improvisation on a melody line to give arrangements by such artists as Stevie Wonder,Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand and Billie Holliday, among others, the Dee Daniels personal touch.uÂ»i3%jSi.Â».~sy**--- â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1980 March 11 - Page 8 ---------- â€¢ 8 Western Front Tuesday, March !!, 1980 H^H^WUJJJ , ^^^i^.Tjrtar^r^n CCA* ATTEACTICNS March11 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, recently a finalist in the regional American College TheaterFestival, ends tonight at 8:15 p.m. in the PAC, Main Auditorium.

They are seniors and were a big reason for the Vikings sterling 24-3 record, (photo by RickRoss) The looks on the faces summed the thoughts of the minds behind them: a record of 24-3 andgoing nowhere but back home. The Western women's team was ranked 11th in the country in AIAWDivision II and was the favorite in the Region IX tournament in Moscow, Idaho. Stress the past tense.Buoyed by the support of a small but raucous home crowd, the University of Idaho Vandals capturedthe region championship, 68-56, Saturday night. On Friday night, Western defeated the University ofAlaska-Fairbanks Nanooks, 82- 63, for the right to be in the championship game. The Viks got off to aslow start Saturday night, falling behind 9-2 in the first eight- minutes, and never really got back into theflow of the game. Western did come back to take an 11-10 edge at the 11:07 mark and tied the score at 13 three minutes later. But the big offense just did not materialize. "It had to be our worst offensivenight in two years," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "Maybe I gave them too many options to think about." Western was fortunate that it was only down by five, 28-23, at the half. "Defense kept us in thegame in the-first half," Goodrich said. "I kept thinking our shots would start to drop and we would getback into rhythm. But we never did." Guard Willette White was Western's biggest problem as the 57"junior from Tacoma pumped in 12 points in the second half and had a team-high 17 for the game.Western 82, Alaska-Fairbanks 63 The Vikings overcame some bizarre happenings in Friday's game torecord their 24th win of the season. Jo Metzger picked up her third, fourth and fifth fouls in a three-minute span early in the second half after the Nanooks had closed to within nine. Bonna Schibret picked upthe slack by scoring five straight points after Metzger fouled out and the lead increased to 61-40. Alaska never recovered.

A glance in a sporting goods store or at a magazine rack proves that jogging is now an important part of the sports industry. Pr. Richard Skudlarick, a podi-atist who runs theBellingham Foot Clinic, is not surprised. "Jogging gives immediate benefits. It's good for thecardiovascular respiratory system," he' said. "Jogging reduces the incidence of coronary arterydisease or heart attacks. It strengthens the heart muscles, keeps cholesterol down and keeps you ingood condition." Skudlarick said beginning joggers should "listen"to their bodies. "If it hurts,something is wrong," he said. "Find out what that something is." Before jogging, the major muscles surrounding the hips, legs and back should be stretched, Skudlarick said. "It's important to have agood stretching routine." Skudlarick said such a routine take* about 20 minutes; A beginning joggerdoesn't become a marathon runner overnight. "You don't have to run very far at first," Skudlaricksaid. "If you are out of breath, you are doing too much, too soon. Build up your endurance." Skudlaricksaid if a jogger can run three miles in 24 minutes, the person is in "halfway decent" shape. Hesuggested a person needs to jog only three times a week to keep fit. Jogging does have itsdrawbacks, however. Pronation, a common jogging disorder, occurs when the foot moves excessively beyond its normal range of motion. Skudlarick said pronation can lead to heel, knee and hip pain orshin splints. "If a jogger has pains that won't go away, have it checked," he said. But Skudlarick said the positive aspect of jogging overrules the negative. "Jogging is like being on a high," he said. "It relaxesyou and lets you forget about your problems. It is an enjoyable mind trip." â€”James Huntington THEBEGINNING JOGGER will probably want to invest $25 to $35 in a pair of specially designed runningshoes.

Â» ^ Top climber visits here Jim Donini has climbedmountains all over the world; In 1976, he' and two* other climbers were the first to scale the 1,300 footrock and ice tower of Torre Egger in the Patagonia region of Argentina. It has not been scaled since.Donini was an expedition member of the ascent of a jungle-covered rock tower in the Venezuelanrainforest. Film of that ascent was shown on the television show "American Sportsman" several monthsago. He was also a member of. a recent American expedition to Latok 1, a peak in the Karakorammountain range in Pakistan. Recreational climbing is not dangerous if a person has proper equipmentand has skills to use it, Donini said. Students at his climbing school in Leavenworth are often unsure oftheir mountaineering abilities at first, he said, because they aren't familiar with the equipment. Theybecome more confident as they gain an understanding of their equipment and their ability, he said.Donini has experienced only bruises and minor cuts while climbing. The closest he has come to deathwas nbt.on a mountainside, but on a road in England, he said. He was driving to Leeds to present a slide show when he accidentally ran a stop sign and was struck by another vehicle. Bad weather,avalanches, glaciers and high altitudes are dangers to even the best climbers. During the Torre Eggerclimb, one member of a New Zealand expedition fell in a glacial crevasse and died before his fellowclimbers and Donini's group could reach him. On the July 1978 expedition to Latok 1 in the KarakoramRange, one member became seriously ill. The team was stuck in a snow cave on the mountainside andwas forced to wait for the storm to subside. After waiting two days, they were running low on food andfuel and decided to descend. They were able to make it down the mountain, and as they went lower, the ill expedition member began to improve. Donini said he thought the illness was a viral infection that theclimber's body had been unable to fight because of the high altitude and a shortage of food. At present,Donini makes his living as a sales representative for Wilderness Experience and Kas-tinger, twooutdoor equipment manufacturers. He took the job to help provide steady income after he marriedJuanita, who also climbs, he said. They have two children, a girl, Sage, 3, and a five-month-old boy,Montana. Information on his climbing school, Leavenworth,.

"This is probably the best team toever sport Western's colors," Lewis said. Returning are sophomore Brian Anderson, Paul Savage, GregNoson and team captain Jeff Masterjohn, all juniors. Mark Aaron, one of the three transfers, is from FortSteila-coom Community College. The other two are Dan Toohey, a sophomore from Highline Community College, and Al White, a junior from Skagit Valley College. White attended Western last year but didnot try out for the team for personal reasons, Lewis said. Like the women's team, only onefreshmanâ€”Tony Tappinâ€” is on the men's squad. Tappin played tennis for Sehome High School twoyears ago. He is an exceptional tournament player, ; Lewis said. The men's and women's teamscurrently are engaged in a round-robin tournament at the Bellingham Tennis Club.

Despite a gloomy economic outlook, the report states prospects are good for graduateswith degrees in accounting, business, computer science, engineering, teaching and technology and forliberal arts graduates with specific skills. Business, computer science and engineering were described by the center direc- ' tor, Louis Lallas, as the "blue chip fields" in the report, though hiring gains of 17percent more than last year were reported in all areas. Teaching positions continue to be tight, Lallassaid in the report, but they . are available. Accounting and business graduates hiring increased 10percent from a year ago, the report states. Western does not offer an engineering degree, but graduatesin industrial technology were sought by many managers who consider that training a practical or 'applied engineering degree. The Boeing, General Telephone and The "Leave it to Beaver" type family isdisappearing most panelists agreed at the Women's Week "Options for Parenting" session in the VikingUnion Lounge last week. "The nuclear family is still a part of popular national mythology . . . that's kindof frightening," John McClendon said. "Everyone wants to believe in that myth, but it is only a myth."McClendon, a Fairhaven faculty member, is a father who shares joint custody of his children with hisex-wife, who lives in Canada. The two children spend six months in Canada, then six months inBellingham. "I was really impressed with myself when I began to mother, not realizing that for years indivorce situations, women have had to learn to father," McClendon said. Traditionally, mothers nurturedthe children while fathers administered discipline, he said. Those roles were never healthily integrated inone parent, he said. Pacific Northwest Bell companies are among firms hiring Western's industrialtechnology graduates, the report stated. Lallas said he was satisfied with the success of the center. "We have been showing slow but steady improvement over the last five years," he said. Many employers now are using the center to hire students before they graduate, Lallas said. Lallas referred to the report,which stated that on-campus recruiting increased 9 percent over last year. Bob Thirsk, associatedirector of the center, said participants in a "cooperative education program" offered through thecenter, did particularly well in securing jobs. The program offers field experience and is similar to atraditional internship, Thirsk said. Students in the program work in their designated fields betweenuniversity studies alternating theory and practical experience. Other American universities indicatesimilar hiring and recruiting trends by employers. Corporate recruiters think it was a mistake to curtailcollege hiring during the With the disintegration of traditional family structures, "traditional" disciplinealso'disappears as psychologists infiltrate the home and child-raising. "Kids will" demand more controlover their own lives. I think that's healthy," McClendon. . said. President Carter's White HouseConference on the Family, originally intended to strengthen the family unit, has generated thequestion"What is the family?" Lawsuits are being filed in Washington and other.states concerning theselection of delegates to the national conference. Conservatives believe the family should be defined aspeople related by blood, marriage or adoption. Sandra Smith, a coordinator of the National Organizationof Women, disagreed. "Only 8 percent of American families today are composed of a father-breadwinner, mother-homemaker and children. The conservative definition of a family is practicallyextinct," she said. last economic downturn, a University of Michigan placement official reported recently. . They find themselves with a "bubble" in the pipeline of middle-management people, he said. Despitecurrent success of graduates in securing jobs, the future . remains unstable. According to theWashington State Employment Service's "Employment Outlook Handbook," retirements and deaths willaccount for 33 percent of all job openings between 1976 and 1985. The number of women and collegegraduates in the work force has increased constantly while the population has declined. The energycrisis has restricted transportation, and with it, tourism and other industries. Lallas and Thirsk arereluctant to speculate on what might happen in the future. "Right now there is a lot of mixed signalsand all we can do is try to read the signs," Lallas said. â€”Bill Gibson Many sociologists believe thedecline of the traditional family is proportional to the rise of American individualism. Personal goals andcomfort are winning the allegiance which once belonged to family relationships and commitments.Rutgers sociologist Richard Boo-cock wrote "What nurtures the family unit is in conflict with whatmaximized personal development. You can't have it both ways." Washington State Research Councilsays the agenda for the '80s includes "an abundance of young adults, mounting numbers ofelderly,.relatively few children, more working women and even more . divorces." Recognizing that three out of five marriages in Washington end in divorce, state legislators recently passed a bill whichdoubled the price of a marriage license and alloted the extra money to provide counseling. â€”BethHerman Nuclear family a national myth ; â€¢. â€¢. *. i V * x \ 12 Western Front Tuesday, March 11,1980 Western Front 'Alternative' woos Seattle Presidential candidate John Anderson flew into SeattleSaturday and spent six hectic hours crisscrossing the city giving speeches in a less than carefullyorchestrated media event. Anderson took time off from heavy campaigning in. Illinois to try to attractdelegates at Washington state's precinct caucuses tonight. Anderson landed at Seattle-TacomaInternational airport at 11:20 a.m. to address an audience of 350 reporters and supporters. Greeted byWashington state campaign coordinator and Seattle attorney Doug Jewett and Republican Party state chairmen Ken Eikenberry, Anderson delayed his speech for. several minutes to allow the ABC andCBS-TV film crews time to arrive for the event. . Partially in jest, Jewett announced: "Now we wantanother spontaneous reaction," which he got after the camera crews had arrived and Anderson wasannounced. Anderson spoke for 20 minutes, reiterating his pre-campaign pledge that his campaignwould go on as "long as we have clean laundry." He said his ever growing collection of donated sockswas proof of growing enthusiasm for his candidacy. He said he is committed to "talking common sensewith the American public. That is what this campaign is all about," he said. He defended his plan for a50-cent tax on the price of gasoline. "The $90 to $100 billion the U.S. pays to foreign countries . for theiroil is ripping up the economic fabric of the country," he said. The money accrued from the tax would gointo a trust fund in the Social Security system for the elderly and would revert back to the worker as abreak in Social Security taxes, he said. Addressing Gerald Ford's possible entry into the race, Anderson called the former President a "good friend" and said that if he enters the race because he thinks theRepublican nominee can't win, "He doesn't have to worry," he said, "John Anderson is gonna win."Touching on the disposal of nuclear wastes at Hanford, he stopped short of advocating stopping allshipments, but he said dumping grounds should be established regionally in the United States. He saidthe federal government should study the problem of waste disposal fully before permitting more nuclear JOHN ANDERSON CAMPAIGNS in Seattle Saturday to gain votes in to day's precinct caucuses inWashington, (photo by Gary Lorentson) pl^i ts. On the draft, Anderson said he is "totally opposed ,toregistration for the draft during peacetime," and that the volunteer army is sufficient for the country'sneeds. He said President Carter reacted prematurely and excessively to the Russian invasion ofAfghanistan. He should have "built a diplomatic foundation" of Japan and Western European allies towork together against the Russian foray. Anderson then went to the Seattle Center where he addresseda convention of high school students participating in a mock regional nominating convention forDemocratic and Republican candidates. Obviously revelling in the waving of Anderson signs and thecheering of students, he gave a speech that was never condescending and did not differ considerably from his earlier talks. But the effects of that were obvious on the way out of the hall, as a young girl,responding to his answer on balancing the budget and defecit spending, asked him, "Mr. Anderson, whatis a deficit?" Later is was announced Anderson had carried the convention with 67 percent of the votefollowed by Ronald Reagan with 14 percent. AJ the. University oL^Washing^m he addressed a massivecrowd estimated at between 2,000 and 4,000 people, the larg-' est audience, he said, he had spoken tooh his campaign. On the press bus, Anderson's press secretary Bill O'Donnell said Anderson's recentsuccess is due to his "talking common sense with the American people." But, he said, Anderson'sappearance in the "Doonesbury"cartoons and a reputation as a "counterculture candidate" also havehelped. '.â€¢:.'"â€¢'. He agreed the press "has picked up on Anderson as its candidate" in much thesame way the press picked up Eugene McCarthy in 196?. On the way back to the airport, . O'Donnelltold aides, "Orubalance, it's been a hell of a day." 1 But, he said, the tight schedule, had Andersonrushing around too quickly making it difficult for TV cameras to film his arrivals and departures. "Weneeded to slow down," he said, "and have more space in between speeches. They (the TV cameras) will tell the Washington state story." ;* Back at the airport, Anderson falketi quickly to the dwindled remains of the press, then left at 5:30 p.m. for Chicago for more campaigning. â€¢':'-' â€”Gary LorentsonPPPPP

The Bellingham. City Council approved the regulation in June 2002, and it went into effect June 21, 2003, restricting consumer fireworks use to July 4 from 9 a.m. until midnight. "Who's going to really come out and buy more (fireworks) if they can only set them off one day?" said Mark, who is a member of the Nooksack Valley Assembly of God. The week before the Fourth of July is the largest fund-raiser for their youth ministries, Mark said. More money can be made in the one week from firework â€¢sales than in an entire year of other fund-raisers such as car washes, he said. Sue said 35 percent of the stand's profits support a huge chunk of the youth activities the church provides. "Everything that we have goes to our church ministries and is split among the various groups," Sue said. City councilman Gene Knutson said the effects the new fireworks regulation could have on non-profit organizations was an issue addressed, during the council's discussions of the regulation. "There was worry, and there still is worry about that, being (that stands have) always started selling them weeks and weeks in advance," Knutson said. "I think it will all work out, and I JusjinjyicCaughan/ The Western Front Sumas resident Jackie Rhodes buys fireworks from Linda Ruiz, a volunteer at the Nooksack Valley Assembly of God fireworks stand. think more people will buy safer things now hopefully, and their sales will go up and not down." In a June 23 press statement issued by Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson, safety took priority over money raised. "By limiting the days when fireworks may be used, we will increase the safety and comfort of our neighborhoods during the Fourth of July season," Asmundson said in the release. Consumer fireworks, which are sold at licensed firework stands, are the only See FIREWORKS, Page 8 Alcoa Intalco Works employees fear closure By Matt McDonald THE WESTERN FRONT Alcoa Intalco Works employee Carl Ratcliff started working at the Alcoa Intalco Works Ferndale Aluminum Smelter 29 years ago as a summer job and has worked there ever since. He may lose his job because of a Bonneville Power Administration rate increase that will close the plant down on Oct. 1 and will severely hurt the Whatcom County economy. The BPA will release updated power rate figures today. The previously proposed 15 percent dropped to 5 percent in mid-June due to enhanced surplus power, improved water conditions, terminated Enron contracts and budget cuts within BPA, BPA press officer Mike Hansen said. "Our power prices are so high in comparison to the rest of the country â€” and actually the rest of the world â€” and it makes it real hard to keep up," said Mellani Hughes, public affairs and communications manager for the Northwest region of Alcoa Intalco Works. "Any increase puts the plant severely at risk even, if it is a 5 percent (increase)." Alcoa will determine the severance package to employees, and they may have opportunities for new employment and training, Ratcliff said. "The union has applied for a trade act ~~ See ALCOA, Page 8 Court ruling has little effect on Western's admission policies By Natasha Joyner THE WESTERN FRONT For 12 years, Western has used a variety of factors besides race to determine admissions, and is exempt from the two U.S. Supreme Court rulings regarding admissions policies, said Eileen Coughlin, vice president for student affairs and academic support services. On the other hand, for the University of Michigan, a divided U.S. Supreme Court - reached two critical rulings June 23. In the first case, the court found the Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy unconstitutional by a vote of 6-3. In the second case, the court upheld Michigan's law school admissions policy by a vote of 6-3. "I think what is interesting is that the one (case) on undergraduate admission really doesn't have much application for public universities in the state of Washington because of Initiative 200," said Attorney General for Western Wendy Bohlke. Washington voters approved 1-200 in 1998. According to the text of 1-200, any discriminatory or preferential treatment to "any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin" for public employment, education and contracting is illegal. The University of Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy was deemed unconstitutional because of the point system used for admissions. Based on the school's current guidelines, an applicant can automatically receive 20 of the 100 points needed to guarantee admission based solely on race. "We have not solved the problem just because we have let a few people into the institution," said Julie Helhng, associate professor and director of the law and diversity program for Fairhaven College. The initiative still allows for preferential treatment for veterans and disabled people, Helling said. From 1980 to 2002, the number of ethnically diverse students at Western has increased from 338 to 1,772. "(The admissions department) have found that students of color are prepared to be judged by the same criteria as all students," Western Director of Admissions Karen Copetas said. Recording industry plans to sue users of file-sharing programs Justin McCaughan/The Western Front Paul Turpin of Bayside Records said he thinks services like iTunes might be the solution to illegal file-sharing. By Anna Sowa THE WESTERN FRONT The battle between fans of free file-sharing services and the Recording Industry Association of America climaxed when the RIAA announced plans Wednesday to start targeting the millions of people who use these services. According to the group's official Web site, RIAA started gathering evidence on June 26 and preparing lawsuits against users who illegally share large amounts of copyrighted music from any of the "peer-to- peer networks," such as KaZaA and Grokster. The RIAA plans to begin suing copyright violators in August. "The law is clear, and the message to those who are distributing substantial quantities of music online should be equally clear," RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a press release. "This activity is illegal. You are not anonymous when you do it, and engaging in it can have serious consequences." The group has been advising Western once every couple of months for the last five years to stop campus copyright violators, said Kurt Willis, associate director of University Residences. Western students are able to use campus computers to download and share files, but all on-campus computers allow students to access any Web site they want to without restriction, said Rick Nichols, ATUS Help Desk coordinator. "It is our job to make sure students have all the tools they need tp accomplish their academic needs," Nichols said. The issue Western faces is not what is being downloaded but how much, Willis said. "File sharing is not illegal," Willis said. "The issue is: What are you sharing?

The Bachelor of Fine Arts students at Western, however, disagree â€” they named their Mindport Exhibits art show after it. "The Vanilla show got its name because the artists could not think of a name to call it for the longest time," Western graduate Scott Winters said. "It is a joke of sorts because an author said something about all of the artists in the Northwest do artwork on landscapes and how pretty they are, but none of our pieces fit that description. We decided that it would be called vanilla because everyone likes vanilla. It is a universally liked flavor. All of our work is so different from one another." The Vanilla exhibit was on display from June 4 to 29 at Mindport. Western's Bachelor of Fine Arts program consists of seven students this year, all of who presented artwork at the Vanilla show. Winters said the show had mixed media pieces such as sculptures, paintings and metal work. The Vanilla exhibit was the first display of Western student art in Mindport's gallery. The BFA program did not receive any funding for an art show this year unlike in past years. Winters said a BFA' adviser contacted Mindport to get space for a free show. All of Western's BFA students participated in the Vanilla show. Winters and Western students Sheldon Sabbatini, Ruthie Nicklaus, Dinah Daniel, Justin Hahn, Felix Haynes and Crystal Anderson had pieces in the show. The artwork was for sale and ranged in price from $150 for small paintings to $1,400 for the large, metal sculptures. Winters graduated from Western in June with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and creates mostly mixed media and sculptures. After finishing his last year at Western, Winters said he wants to go to graduate school to study art and eventually become a sculpture professor. Winters constructed his sculpture, which is part of a sculpture series he has been working on this past year, for the show. He did not title his sculpture because he wanted people to interpret his work for how it makes them feel, hot for how he wants them to see it, he said. "I would rather make a piece that someone hates than a piece someone forgets," Winters said. Winters described his latest sculpture as a different view of religion and how people create their own gods. He used wire figures and pig intestines to capture the effect of real life. The veins in the intestines make it look alive, and the flexibility of the wire let him twist the sculpture into any shape. Western graduate student Felix Haynes displayed his art prints at the Vanilla show as well. He said his inspiration for art came from his childhood days when he was a crop duster in California with his father. Haynes said that labor in the environment made him aware of chemicals and what they are doing to the world. The title of one of his prints is "Sulfur Dust," which comes from his experience with chemicals in crop dusting, he said. The prints are extremely colorful'and stand out against the neutral tones of the other artwork at the show. "I would like it if people knew what the meaning behind my art is," Haynes said. "I have a feeling that people are interpreting it in a way that is not what I intend." Justin McCaughan/ The Western Front Western graduate Erik Knutzen admires a piece at Mindport by featured artist Scott Winters. Mindport opened in 1995 and is a donation-based organization in downtown Bellingham that displays artwork from artists around the city. "Mindport has a really nice gallery and setup, so I like having my art displayed there," Winters said. "It is nice to get the visibility." Winters said he thinks it is great that Mindport is willing to let Western art students display their art off campus and in the community. He said he hopes it will encourage other areas to display art for free. PRE-LEASE ONE OF OUR PROPERTIES! FOR FALL QUARTERTODAyi DONT GET LEFT OUT!

According to Hodel's new book, his father was also a suspected murderer. Hodel said his journey began May 17, 1999, when he received a 1 a.m. phone call at his Bellingham home from his stepmother, who informed him that his father had recently died. After his father's death, Hodel was given a small book that contained pictures of his father's loved ones. Hodel discovered it contained a photograph of a woman whom he recognized. The woman was attractive, wore a white dress and had dark black hair with a white flower in it. Hodel would later find out this woman was Elizabeth Short, who was murdered in the '40s. "In the book I came across the Elizabeth Short photo, aka the Black Dahlia," Hodel said. "There was about six seconds when I held the photo book in my hands that I thought, 'I can get rid of this.' I recognized early on I had to divorce my personal self from the investigation. From the photo, I started on the most incredible adventure that took three-and-a-half years to investigate." On January 15, 1947, the body of the beautiful 22- year-old Elizabeth Short was found brutally murdered in a vacant lot in,downtown.Los. Angeles. . "This is L.A/s most notorious homicide because of the absolute horror and brutality of the crime," Hodel said. "She was made out to be a naive woman from Medford, Massachusetts, and turned into a gutter whore." Hodel said Short came to California in search for a military husband and was in some ways an innocent woman. The newspapers made her out to be just another dead prostitute, but that was not the truth, he said. Short â€” dubbed the Black Dahlia by friends because of her black clothing and hair and the dahlia she wore in her hair â€” was not the normal murder victim, Hodel said. Her body was surgically bisected, horribly mutilated and posed as if it were on display. The victim's hands and feet showed marks of having been previously bound, and she had clearly suffered prolonged torture at the hands of her killer, he said. Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia for her black hair and clothing and flowers she wore in her hair, was murdered in 1947. Her death became a famous unsolved mystery until private investigator Steve Hodel discovered the murderer was Photo courtesy of Steve Hodel. his father. "Her body was drained of blood, washed clean, and the two portions were posed in a unique position," Hodel said. "Posing occurs in less than 1 percent of all homicides â€” that in itself is rare." Hodel said the editor of the San Francisco Examiner received a phone call on Jan. 23, 1947, from a man who claimed to be the Black Dahlia killer and said he would send the editor of the paper some of her personal belongings. Two days later, the newspaper received a package containing items from Short's purse: her identification card, her birth certificate, her social security card and her address book with a few pages torn out. "This was the last big story in print before television," Hodel said. "It was headlines in L.A. for 30 days in a row." In the weeks to follow, Hodel said the self- professed killer sent notes to the police and the press that said "Catch me if you can" and "Dahlia killing justified." Hodel said his father met and began a romance with Short in 1944. Hodel said his father discovered Short had been dating other men in Dec. 1946, and physically assaulted her. Short then fled to San Diego and remained in hiding until Jan. 9, 1947. Six days later, Short was found murdered after returning to Los Angeles and various witnesses seeing her with Dr. Hodel. "There were a lot of factors why I felt Dr. Hodel was the murderer," said Stephen Kay, head deputy district attorney in L.A. "The main one was we always knew a doctor was the murderer because there is no way an amateur could make the precise cuts in bisecting the body." Hodel said the first clue for him in the investigation was his father knew Short, he: said. .The next thing that tipped off Hodel was that his father was a skilled surgeon with exceptional hand-eye coordination who practiced medicine in Los Angeles at the time of the murders, he said. "I spent three years retracing â€¢.â€¢â€¢-. week by week and month by .month what had happened," Hodel said. â€¢-â€¢-.-.'â€¢' Hodel's girlfriend, Roberta ll...we always knew a doctor was McCreary, helped him with the the murderer because there is no way an amateur could make the Head deputy district attorney in Los Angeles investigation and became his special assistant. McCreary said ^ most of her research was done at precise cuts in bisecting the body. the University of California in Stephen Kay Los Angeles. She said her main job was to research all newspaper articles from five different newspapers from;1943 to 1950. "From the research I did, Steve was able to get so much information because back in the '40s so much information was published in newspapers," McCreary said. "By reading all these articles, that's how he found more victims, and through handwriting on other victims Steve was able to connect more murders to his father." Hodel would also later come to discover that his father had left directions for his wife to destroy all of his personal items. "This is not a 'daddy dearest' story," Hodel said. "I started checking into the crime itself." McCreary said Hodel read 110 books related to the crime and police investigation to provide background for his own investigation. "I also found secret district .attorney files that were locked for 55 years, which confirmed Dr. Hodel was the prime suspect in the Black Dahlia murder," Hodel said. "They bugged our home in 1950 and had 1,000- plus Bryan Sharick/The Western Front Private investigator Steve Hodel signs a copy of his new book, "Black Dahlia Avenger: The True Story," at Village Books for White Rock, B.C., resident Rochelle Depaolis. hours of secret recordings. In one of them you hear my dad say, 'Supposin' I did kill the Black Dahlia? They can't prove it now; my secretary is dead' â€” that's a direct quote. Some say maybe he was making a joke. I don't think so." The case-breaking tip for Hodel, which exposed his father as the Black Dahlia murderer, was the killer's handwriting. As soon as he saw it, he immediately recognized it as his father's. The decision for Hodel to write his book about investigating his father came after Kay reviewed his findings. - . â€¢ . , ' ... "(Kay) reviewed the material for a month in secret as a private person and said that if Dr. Gesorge Hodel were alive today, he would file charges of murder for Elizabeth Short...," Hodel said. "It's not only Steve Hodel saying he committed these murders but Stephen Kay as well." Hodel said it is a possibility his father was a serial killer and committed approximately 20 other murders. "There is six or seven (murders) I feel strongly confident about, another five I feel he did do and the rest the LAPD needs to look at because he probably did do them," Hodel said. "My mission is to get out there and tell this story. Sadly dad didn't wake up, stretch his arms and say, 'I'll be a serial killer.'" Hodel has 24 years of experience in law enforcement and became a private investigator when he retired from the LAPD. Because of investigating his father, he said he was able to quit drinking and has been sober for the last four years. "I would have either had to give up the six to eight scotches a night or do the investigation," Hodel said. "There's still a part of you as a human being that has to erase the ugliness. That's why you find high rates of alcoholism in police and especially homicide detectives." The L. A. Police Department still considers the case open and unsolved because Dr. Hodel is dead, Hodel said. imiiiÂ§ .harmony singing. She performs Village Green.

With mills, boatyards and warehouses crowding the space along the waterfront, not to mention sewer outfalls and toxic chemicals polluting the water quality, Bellingham might seem to be a destination for paddlers to skip. Others would beg to differ. "Bellingham is centered in kayak nirvana," said Lisa Wallis, president of the Whatcom Association of Kayak Enthusiasts, a local group of paddlers dedicated to furthering enjoyment and knowledge of the sport. With its relatively protected waters, scenic beauty and amenities that cater specifically to kayakers, the Bellingham area is a destination for salty veterans and wobbly amateurs alike, she said. "Most of the major manufacturers are located within a hundred mile radius, as well as many major kayak magazines," Wallis said. "This closeness allows the prospective kayaker to visit with the experts and learn about the sport." Wallis' love affair with sea kayaking began eight years ago when her husband introduced her to the sport through white-water kayaking. The thrill of paddling the rushing rivers eventually evolved into the easy going enjoyment of the slower paced open-water boating. "It is like backpacking on the water," Wallis said. "You embrace the ecosystem you travel through. The sea is like a big living, breathing organism, and when you are in your kayak, you are breathing and moving with it." Adding to Bellingham's allure are destinations such as Lummi Island, Wildcat Cove, Chuckanut Bay, Padilla Bay and Clark's Point, said Steve Walker, the recreation coordinator for Western's Outdoor Center. These areas offer the paddler a diverse experience of big water challenges, wildlife and stunning vistas. "The western shore of Lummi Island is a really dramatic example," Walker said. "There's big, steep x^ffs, pere- -grihe falcons' nesting,: wildflbwers, and 6jtteh,,youTi see otters swimming along the rocks. It's a really neat spot." Walker said his interest in the sport began 25 years ago when he spoke to a kayaker cruising the waters near his Bainbridge Island home. That simple curiosity has since led him to kayak the Fjords of Sweden's coast, the huge saltwater inlets of Vancouver Island and the islands and peninsulas of his native Puget Sound. A network of campgrounds set up specifically for kayakers and other muscle- powered boaters is also a big plus for the area's paddlers, Walker said. The Cascadia Marine Trail is a network of campsites throughout the San Juan Islands that is available to kayakers for $10. Another attraction for those new to the sport is the great availability of instruction, information resources and rental equipment available in the Bellingham area, Walker said. The Center has seven fiberglass kayaks on hand â€” five singles and two doubles â€” that come with paddles, a spare paddle, lifejacket, spray skirt, a weather radio and even a roof rack for a car. Important information such as nautical charts, current guides and instructional books and videos are available. The Center also sponsors guided day and As sunset approaches, an unidentified woman Larabee State Park. Areas like Chuckanut Bay overnight trips in the area during spring, summer and fall quarters. Lakewood, Western's boathouse facility on Lake Whatcom, keeps an inventory of 20 plastic kayaks -â€” eight doubles and 12 singlesâ€” that are available for "the physical education department's kayak touring courses and student rental for $1. The boats may only be used on the lake and when classes are not in session. Instruction is available by enrolling in one of the kayak touring sections during class registration. Whatcom County Parks and Recreation sponsors a variety of kayaking events, including instruction and sightseeing trips. It also provides kayaks and gear, and no previous kayaking experience is necessary for many of the guided day trips. WAKE also provides instruction and trips to members and non-members alike, Wallis said. The association includes many certified instructors who are willing to discuss their experience with beginners. Participants must provide their own boat and gear. Fairhaven Boatworks has 13 kayaks available: five plastic sit-on-top models, four single fiberglass boats and four double boats. Prices range from $7 to $18 per hour and $30 to $68 per day. The Boatworks is also right on the saltwater and next to a public boat ramp, making launching and landing very easy. â€¢ Before novices set out with their boat and sense of Justin McCaughan/The Western Front paddles her sea kayak but of a small bay in make Bellingham an ideal kayaking area. adventure, they should get instruction in kayak safety and rescue, Walker said. Even the relatively calm waters of the bay can get big in a hurry if strong winds begin blowing. Walker said it is important' for a^kayaker to have the skills to recover from a spill in the chilly waters of the Puget Sound. By performing an Eskimo roll, a maneuver in which the boater uses the paddle to right the boat without leaving the cockpit, the kayaker can easily recover after flipping over. Alternatively, a wet exit may be used. This technique requires the paddler to leave the capsized boat, flip it over and get back in. Both methods require practice to be effective. "The biggest danger is hypothermia," Walker said. "The water here fluctuates between 52 degrees in the summer and 48 degrees in the winter, and that will suck the heat out of your body pretty fast." Other precautions paddlers can take are to never paddle alone, stay close to shore, carry spare warm clothes in a dry bag and wear a wet or dry suit, Walker said. Experienced paddlers agree that the incredible experiences one will have while exploring the marine environment are .outweighed by the dangers presented by the sea. "There's something magical about sitting in a kayak, being at eye-level with the ocean," Walker said. "It's a feeling that's hard to find anywhere else." Collison, Ridnour fill holes in Sonies lineup Matt McDonald COMMENTARY The Seattle SuperSonics have made ill-advised draft choices in the past. But for the first time since drafting Gary Payton in 1990 and Shawn Kemp in 1989, the Sonies have made two quality draft picks. The Sonies chose two key players during the 2003 NBA Draft on June 26 for the two positions they needed the most: a point guard and a power forward. Power forward Nick Collison from Kansas University, who was selected as the 12th pick, and point guard Luke Ridnour from the University of Oregon, who was taken as the 14th pick, will both, in time, be key contributors for the Sonies. Since trading Payton last season for guard Ray Allen the Sonies have been in desperate need of a point guard. Payton was the Sonies' star player and starting point guard for 13 years. Ridnour was a solid choice at 6 feet 2 inches tall and 175 pounds. The Sonies have had a good history with picks from Oregon state, such as Payton and Brent Barry. Ridnour, who has excellent ball-handling skills and was arguably the best point guard in college basketball, can read the court, which will contribute to the Sonies' run-and-gun offense. "He's the best passer I've ever seen since Pistol Pete (Maravich)," Director of Sonies Personnel Dave Pendergraft said. The Sonies were also in need of another power forward to complement forward Rashard Lewis. Associated Press First Team All-American, Collison, who was 6 feet 9 inches and 255 pounds as a senior at Kansas, was an easy choice for the Sonies. He brings a presence to the court that current Sonies forwards Reggie Evans and Vladimir Radmanovic have not brought to the team by scoring. Collison is an all around big man. He can run the floor, play with his back to the basket and play as a small center, increasing the speed of the Sonies' offense. Collison and Ridnour had four and three years of college basketball experience, respectively. Both players bring the maturity that other draft picks, straight out of high school, do not have. College basketball is not the same as the NBA, but both players know what to expect entering into it. Players with college experience have a better understanding of the. hype that comes with playing professional basketball and how to handle the medial The Sonies could have made two horri^ ble picks this year, which they have done in the past. In the 1975 NBA Draft, the Sonies selected Frank Oleynick with the 12th pick. He only played for two years. Immediately after the Sonies chose Ridnour, the commentators said his defense was so bad that he could not even guard a chair. Others argue Collison is too slow to run the floor and currently too small to effectively perform at the power forward position. Sonies "head coach Nate McMillian was once an outstanding defensive point guard for the Sonies, and he will teach Ridnour the art of being a great defensive player. Not many players enter the NBA with great size. Collison will get into the weight room and become a force under the basket. With some work, they will greatly contribute to the Sonies. Ridnour's court vision will fuel the Sonies' high tempo offense. Collison will be the inside player with the ability to post up and score that the Sonies' need. If these players develop quickly, and begin starting games with Allen, Lewis and Barry, the Sonies will be a strong contender for an NBA championship. ---------- Western Front 2003-07-01 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ The Western Front OPINIONS Letters Editorials July 1, 2003 Recording industry must not sue its customers The Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group that represents the interests of the five major labels that dominate compact disc retailing: AOL TimeWarner, Vivendi Universal, BMG, EMI and Sony, must re-examine its business plan instead of taking its customers to court. The RIAA announced Wednesday that it plans to begin suing copyright violators in August. This could affect any of the students who enjoy downloading numerous MP3s via file-sharing programs through Western's high-speed Internet connections. The group plans to sue copyright violators, anticipating that such strict action will scare people away from using popular file-sharing services such as KaZaAand Grokster, which people can use to freely distribute MP3s. The RIAA claims its CD sales have declined by 14 percent, from $14.6 billion in 1999 to $12.6 billion last year, due to free file-sharing services, and it will continue to lose even greater amounts of money until those services are stopped. The RIAA needs to learn from past lessons that technological innovations do not herald the apocalypse. In the 1984 "Betamax ruling," the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that videocassette recorders were legal and people could record television and movies in their homes. Until that point, movie companies had tried to prohibit Sony from selling VCRs because they feared widespread copying of movies and television shows. In that case the court decided that as long as a device, such as a VCR, had "substantial" legitimate users, it could not be banned. The court has upheld this ruling through all new technological innovations: digital tapes, personal computers, CDs, DVDs, etc. The gist of the ruling was clear: The benefits technological milestones offer to the public outweigh the risk of piracy. Moreover, Congress declared in the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act that, "It is legal for consumers to copy music for their own enjoyment, provided it is not done for commercial purposes." Obviously videocassettes and audiocassettes have not killed the recording industry. The group has tried the lawsuit approach before, launching attacks on file- sharing services Napster and Audiogalaxy, among others, and bleeding them financially dry in costly legal battles. Yet crushing those companies did not raise CD sales. Users of those services simply moved on: leap-frogging from Napster to Audiogalaxy to KaZaA to any other free file-sharing service. The RIAA might argue that targeting the users themselves will scare them into paying for file-sharing services endorsed by the "Big 5" record labels or rushing to the store to buy the new 50 Cent album, despite the fact the only song they want off it is "In Da Club." But whatever money the RIAA will gain from suits against individuals, it will lose in boycotts. Already groups of disgruntled music buyers have launched boycotts against the RIAA, but the RIAA has not altered its militant stance on free file-sharing services and the people who use them. CD revenues may in fact be lower than last year, but that does not mean free file-sharing services are to blame. The economic recession, competing media, the high price of CDs and the practice of the Big 5 to chase and market an image instead of actual talent are likely greater reasons for the RIAA's recent slump in CD revenue. The RIAA should focus on these problems instead of trying to control technological evolution. Slapping a college student â€”- or anyone who uses free file- sharing services, for that matter â€” with a $100,000 fine is not going to get people to buy more CDs. All it will do is add more would-be consumers to the growing ranks of boycotters.

And we quote: "You're my boy, blue!" â€” WillFerrell, 'Old School' Consumerism gives false meaning to patriotism Jen Rittenhouse COMMENTARY With the Fourth of July three days away, merchandise displaying the American flag or the catchy slogans "United we stand" and "Proud to be an American" can be found almost everywhere. The celebration's real meaning is lost in the bandwagon mentality of patriotism. These days the flag is plastered on everything from paper plates to boxer shorts. The barrage of patriotic merchandise is no different than the Christmas displays in department stores the day after Thanksgiving. Compared to Christmas, Independence Day gives everyone in the United States the opportunity to show patriotism just as Christmas provides people a chance to show goodwill. People buy the ultra-patriotic T-shirts and wear them to feel like true red-blooded Americans. It used to be illegal, or at least in bad taste, to fashion garments out of the image of the American flag. Consumers begin to believe they can buy patriotism. Red, white and blue on the Fourth of July has become as meaningless to most people as the "Christ" in Christmas has become in recent years. Freedom is a privilege that people have had to fight for since the founding of the United States. The rights Americans' have should not be forgotten or taken lightly. Wearing a T-shirt for one day a year does not make somebody an American. Neither does buying a pack of Costco hot dogs and heading to the family barbeque where everyone is dressed in red, white and blue patriotic garb. After Sept. 11, and more recently with the war in Iraq, the trend in purchasing patriotic merchandise has increased. This trend seems to show that, as a nation, people feel they have to prove their patriotism* Being an American is not something that anyone has to prove. Placing a flag on a car or buying the clothing does not make someone more of an American than a person who chooses not to. From the creation of the flag in 1776, it has stood in battles, from the War of 1812 to the thousands of battlefields during the Civil War to the defeat at Pearl Harbor.

Just purchasing patriotic items makes some feel they are See FOURTH, Page 7 North Korea needs to disarm immediately Yosuke Taki COMMENTARY The North Korean government must stop developing weapons of mass destruction, such as ballistic missiles and nuclear programs, to maintain security in the Far East. Sankei News, a Japanese newspaper, reported June 20 that the United States informed the Japanese government that North Korea was developing several nuclear warheads small enough to install in its ballistic missiles. The North Korean ballistic missile, Nodong, has a long enough range to bomb any part of Japan, including the 133 U.S. military bases and facilities on the islands. The North Korean government already has positioned hundreds of Nodong missiles near Pyongan-Bukdo, according to Chosunilbo, a South Korean newspaper. North Korea is also developing Daepodong 2, a ballistic missile with a long enough range to hit the continental United States, according to CNN. North Korea's government has repeatedly defined Japan and the United States as enemies. It also announced through North Korea's official press, Korea News Service, intentions of using their weapons of mass destruction against these two nations. "The rallies manifested the Korean people's will to bolster in every way the military deterrent force that guarantees the security of the country and the nation and wipe out the U.S. imperialist aggressors at a single stroke and win a final victory in the confrontation with them and thus take a thousand-fold revenge upon them," the Korea News Service reported in its June 26 online English language edition. North Korea has exported approximately 200 missiles to Iran, 150 missiles to Syria and â€¢ 100 missiles to Iraq, according to Chosunilbo. U.S. military officers Last December inspected a North Korean cargo ship near Yemen and found, 12 Scud missiles. Yemen diplomats admitted in December that they purchased missiles from North Korea in the past. North Korea's weapons industry brings in foreign currency, generating funds for further nuclear development. Some U. S. citizens might say North Korea has a right to run a weapons program for self defense, and that the U.S. government should not interfere in foreign matters. North Korea, however, now has an ability to launch nuclear missiles at Japan and has been addressing its will to use it. For the United States, it is not just a foreign event happening in the Far East. By the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States, which was established in 1960, the United States bears responsibility for Japan's national security from foreign forces. In order to stop funding North Korea's development of weapons of mass destruction, nations must minimize money flow to North Korea.

Methadone is the most common way to treat heroin addictions, and Washington would benefit socially and economically by providing prompt treatment to anyone who needs it. The National Institute of Health estimated the financial costs of untreated heroin addictions to individuals, families and society in the United States at $20 billion each year. Washington is home to approximately 38,000 addicts, according to a 2003 report by the Washington State Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse. Methadone, a substitute for heroin that prevents withdrawals without the high of the drug, has been shown to work effectively in the treatment of addictions. Washington law limits the number of clients it will treat to only 2,450 people a year, though it is estimated that Washington houses more than 18,000 addicts who would benefit from methadone treatment. Due to the state's limit on clients, addicts in search of treatment are referred to a waiting list, where the wait can be as long as two years. This delay violates federal Medicaid law, which requires state Medicaid services, including methadone, to be provided within a reasonable time. ~ The reason for this law is evident. Many addicts are homeless and, while on the waiting list, spend time in jail for crimes committed to acquire the funds to feed their addictions. According to DASA, holding a person in jail can cost more than $75 per day and is unlikely to solve an addiction problem. The cost of providing methadone treatment, in conjunction with counseling, costs local governments $10.36 per day. Half of those costs can be paid for by the federal government if the client is Medicaid eligible. 'Providing methadone treat ment, however, has shown to reduce the crime rate of heroin addicts by 71 percent..'. will save much more money than housing addicts in jail. Treating addicts for the two-year period of time they could possibly spend in jail would cure them of their addictions and save taxpayers more than $47,000 per treated addict. The correlation between crime and heroin has been established. Providing methadone treatment, however, has shown to reduce the crime rate of heroin addicts by 71 percent, according to the results of a 2001 study of - publicly funded methadone treatment clients. A 1998 review by the General Accounting Office also found that methadone therapy helped keep more than 179,000 addicts off heroin, off welfare and on the tax rolls as law-abiding citizens. This means money is coming in through taxes instead of money going out to treat addictions. Some people argue that using methadone as a solution is counterproductive because addicts are treating a drug problem with another drug. Many addictions, however, are treated Simple math proves that providing care with other drugs, including alcoholism, said Jaculine Mitchell, Whatcom County substance abuse program coordinator. Alcohol is a socially acceptable way to treat alcoholism so methadone should also be an acceptable way to treat a heroin addition. In addition, methadone treatment is backed by the Washington State Medical Association, Pharmacy Association and Medical Society, a testament to the medical community's positive opinion for methadone who would like easier access for their patients. According to a study completed by the Drug Control Policy Program of King County Bar Association, Washington state's methadone treatment problem could be solved with less than $2 million more in funding. This money would help bring treatment to those in need of it by expanding Washington's current client limit and helping make the treatment more accessible by creating more clinics, including one in Whatcom or Skagit County. No clinics currently exist farther north than King County. Methadone treatment has been proven to be an effective way to cure heroin addictions. Funding methadone for all who need it is not only economical but socially responsible. 8 i W Â» Fourth: Americans do not have to prove patriotism Continued from Page 6 RIDE WITH PRIDE.

Some might say that due to the loss of life and fear the attacks generated, it has also enabled the nation to unite.

Such funding activities must stop.

"If that doesn't come through, because it is not a guaranteed thing, I am more than likely going to move out of the area because there aren't any family wage jobs in this area any more, especially with G-P closed. It's tough times." Alcoa, with 564 employees, is the sixth largest employer in Whatcom County. If the Ferndale plant closes, people will lose their jobs, and it will cause a ripple- effect of other job loses, said Hart Hodges, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research. "If 100 jobs go away, there will be fewer grocery store workers and waiters because their customers will not have money to spend," Hodges said. Aluminum is a commodity, and the London Metal Exchange sets the prices, so Alcoa cannot raise prices to compensate for the increased power costs, Hughes said. Alcoa is reviewing several different options aside from completely closing the plant. The options include running full time, depending on market conditions, or a swing plan where the plant starts up when power market conditions allow, Hughes said. "This (swing plan) can be very expensive because it is a long process to get the plant running again after it is closed," Hughes said. The plant may be able avoid closure if a settlement on a lawsuit filed against BPA by public agency power customers could drop power rates as much as 9 percent, Hansen said. "If we could get the people involved in this lawsuit to drop the lawsuit, it could end up saving us a couple $100 million," Hansen said. "It's the big ticket issue right now determining the rate increase." BPA will announce its final rate increase in August, which will, determine Alcoa's fate. Sharing: Students warned about trading music files Continued from Page 1 software that restricts file sharing programs." Bayside Records partner Chip Westerfield said the RIAA filing suits will discourage people from pirating music because the threat of being sued will deter the downloaders. "There needs to be an awareness that this is illegal," Westerfield said. "It still doesn't occur to a lot .of people that it's theft." By requiring students to accept its policies, Western tries to educate students so that copyright infringements do not occur. "It is our duty to educate students that these are the consequences, although what RIAA does is a private matter," Willis said. "Our limits on file sharing don't protect (students) but discourage piracy." Binary Recording Studio owner Bob Ridgley said the suits against violators will have no effect on the music industry because file-sharing is nothing new to the RIAA. "This is something that's been going on for a long time," Ridgley said. "It started with cassette tape duplication, and now we have CD copiers, so I don't know any way they can really stop (piracy)." Western senior Nic Connor said he has downloaded 795 songs from someone else using Western's Internet connection. Connor said he believes that RIAA cracking down on copyright violators will not lessen the amount of file sharing that occurs on campus. "They can put any kind of restrictions on it they feel like," Conner said. "Not that it will matter because law breakers are always several steps ahead of law makers." fpmMRY34r BREWERY BISTRO Celebrate the Fourth of July with the Barbed Wire Cutters! 10pm $5 FVfVl' INFO ONl.iNh A'I . www. bbaybrewery.com II07 Railroad ph# 647-T)93 Fireworks: Charities faced with less funding due to new regulation Continued from Page 1 type of legal fireworks that residents can use on July 4.

Western Front VOL. 71, NO. 74 WESTERNWASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1979 Burglaries plague Bellingham duringChristmas vacation by RICK ROSS Students leaving for Christmas vacation are encouraged to beprepared, as burglaries will plague the city, Western's Safety and Security and the Bellingham PoliceDepartment agree. Chuck Hart, of student housing, said that approximately 90 percent of Western'sstudents will leave for the vacation and vacancies created become prime targets for burglaries. CampusSecurity responded to 20 burglaries in December and January last year, Lt. Chuck Page, securityinvestigation and crime prevention officer, said, and most of these occurred during the holiday break.The average number of burglaries reported is approximately two to three per month. Security will do all itcan to try and prevent or reduce the number of break-ins that could occur. Dormitory patrol is increasedand, during the vacation, Security officers will report "anything that moves," Page said. "Studentsremaining on campus are urged to be on the lookoutand report-all suspicious peo-; pie they see," Pagesaid. Last December, security received 32 suspicious person reports. Page said some burglars, whomay or may not be Western students, often attend big campus parties during the end of the quarter tocheck out places as prospective burglary sites. Prevention methods recommended by Page coincidewith those in the "Operation Safe City" and "Operation I.D." programs presently being run by theBellingham Police Department. The programs involve the identification and inventory of valued itemswithin a residence and prevention'of possible break-ins. Dae Jamison, Bellingham Police crimeprevention officer, said that the previous "Block Watch" program, funded by the police department,began in 1975 and only reached 3,000 to 4,000 homes in the Bellingham area. "Operation Safe City" isfunded by a government grant and will cover the entire area. This massive campaign includes apackage of information that is mailed to Bellingham residents. The package contains pamphletsconcerning . "Operation I.D.," preventive security, an inventory book, diagramed instructions for safelylocking doors and windows, a list of security precautions and a letter of general information about theprogram. It also contains a card that can be filled out and returned to the police department for a freescriber. A scriber is used to mark the owner's driver's license number on valued items. Jamison said that an electric scriber is better than a standard one in that the engraving cannot be effectively scratched out. The operation does not directly reach campus housing. The same package and scriber, however, canbe obtained by students living on campus, at the police department. Campus Security presently hasone electric scriber available for student use. Jamison said the police department sent five more toSecurity for the same purpose.

"The time involved in a break-in is so short that extra patrol really doesn't help," Jamison said.He added that the apprehension of burglars is easier during vacations because fewer people are outand those seen become "suspicious persons."

Seasons greetings for the Ayatollah Copyright 1979,Western Front 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Tehran Not an Iranian was shouting,not even The Man. The hostages were bound to their armchairs with care, In hopes that Uncle Sam soonwould be there. The students were sleepy, all smug in their hope, While visions of the Shah danced froma rope. With women in chadors and Imam in Qom, No one was expecting the cold winter's doom. Whenout on-the streets there arose such a ruckus The students sprang shouting, their rifles in focus. Into theyard, they poured like a flash, Tore open the gates and made with a dash. When, what should grab theirpompous poopers, But helicopter gunships and 500 troopers. With practiced pilots so lively and mean,Students knew in a flash it must be Sajnt Marine. More rapid than eagles his tracers they came Andpilots whistled and shouted as they aimed. "Now, damn it! Now, let's go! Now, corporal and private! On,soldier! On, stupid! On, push 'em and drive it! To the top of the roof! To the top of the wall! Now dashinside! Dash inside! Smash away all! As dry leaves that before the wild helicopters fly, When they meetwith an obstacle, blow them sky high. So up to the embassy top the troopers they flew, With thechoppers full of boys and Saint Marine, too. And, then so astonished, hostages heard in the yard, Theshooting and dying of each Iranian guard. As they covered their heads, turning around, Through theceiling came Saint Marine with a bound. He was dressed all in green from his head to his foot, And hisclothes were all dirtied with ashes and soot. With an M-16 he had cocked at his chest, And he lookedlike a killer now leading the rest. His eyesâ€”how they hunted, his dimples how cruddy! His cheeks wereblackness, his nose very bloody! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a sneer, And the end of his chinwas as sharp as a spear. The stump of a cig he held in his teeth, And smoke it encircled him like a graywreath. He had a tough face and a nothing middle, That shivered, when he fired, ever so little. He wassolid and stoic, a right scarey old elf, But no one laughed when they saw him, to save himself. A wink ofhis eye and a twist of his head Soon gave the kidnappers something to dread; He spoke not a word butwent straight to his work, Killing all students, then turned with a jerk. And keeping his finger placed faston his gun, And giving a nod, to the yard ran everyone. He sprang to his chopper, to his troops gave ayell, And away they flew like bats out of hell. But some heard him exclaim, ere he flew out of sight,"Happy Christmas, Khomeini, and thanks for the fight!" â€”Hampton Hatcher ---------- Western Front - 1979 December 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, December 7, 1979 THROUGH THE PACES â€” The Viking car, a product of theVehicle Research Institute at Western, is shown doing what it is meant for â€” driving. Administratorsplea for cash I by ERIC HOOKHAM Administrators here will ask the Washington Legislature for moneythis Christmas, but the presents might not arrive, they said. Every two years administrators planWestern's university budget. The state Legislature then evaluates the requests, and decides the amountto be appropriated to cover costs for the next two years. But this year voters approved a resolution whichcalls for the legislature to meet annually. The first off-year session will begin next month. So budgetauthorities here have asked for $735,400 to cover Jnf3a,tjo|i-rel,aied^CQst.s.;on.the embryonic speech and business building, to offset increases in the school's energy bill and to 'give a costrof-jiying raise in payto instructors, according to a letter sent''to'Gov.'OixyXee Ray from University President Paul Olscamp.Ray said the funds would be difficult to get. She informed state agencies soon after the elections that "few supplemental budget items will be approved" and if any were approved, they would be only those with"truly exceptional and critical circumstances." Instead of money, the public might get a political show.Western Business Manager Jack Cooley said. He said legislators "will want to keep the budget locked up because spending money is not politically popular." , Vice-president for Business Affairs Don Cole saidan "interesting and political" session will occur, and "is not really optimistic about the budget"discussion. He said many gubernatorial candidates will be campaigning at the time the legislature is insession, including House speakers Duane Berentson-R, and John Bagnariol-D, Secretary of State BruceChapman-R and Gov. Ray. University Planner and State Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz concurred. "In fact,I'm about the only one who hasn't declared for candidacy," he said, laughing. Goltz said he personallyfeels chances now are "very small" of funding Western's requests. He said he argued for opening thesession to budget requests, Friday at a state senate caucus, but said most others were "definitelyagainst" the idea. The inflation-related requests probably would be considered in the 1981 session, hesaid, and predicted if money was granted to faculty for cost-of-living allowances it would not be in theform of a percentage increase, as asked by Western. Instead it would be a "flat amount,"a specificnumber of dollars, he said. Funds needed for Viking VI Western's Vehicle Research Institute (VRI)currently is bargaining to receive a $242,000 government grant. The money would be used for threeprojects involving the modification of compact cars and the preparation of a Viking VI test crash,'Director Michael Seal said. The institute received one' compact car from California on Monday and isworking to reduce the vehicle's weight. The car was sent by the U.S. Department of Transportation for the purpose of modification, Seal said. Another car will arrive next month, which will require a newengine to be fitted. Seal estimated the total cost of the projects at not more than $24,500. A date for the Viking VI automobile crash test has not been decided. The test will be in Phoenix, Ariz., and will bepreceded by four "sled tests." Seal explained that the sled tests involve construction of a duplicateViking VI cockpit and crash tests will be run with dummies inside. The resultant information will allow forpreparation and alteration of the Viking VI before it actually is tested. The construction of Viking VIdepends on a government decision to accept or decline the $242,000 grant requested by the VRI. Theautomobile would seat three passengers, two in the front and one sitting crossways in the back. Ittheoretically will get 55 mpg in the city and 80 mpg on the highway.

Housing and dining paid for the lights and will install them on the president's houseTuesday. The request to housing and dining was phoned in by President Olscamp's secretary. "Thepresident asked to purchase and install some outdoor Christmas lights for the president's house, tobe installed Tuesday," Housing and Dining Director Pete Coy said. Coy said he did not know exactlyhow much it would cost to install the lights, but labor for such a job usually is $ 18 an hour. It probablywould take "a couple of hours to do it properly," Coy said. The purchasing office bought eight 25-footstrings of outdoor lights with which to decorate the president's house.

The effects of areduction in force (RIF) implemented two years previously, which resulted in the loss of 100 facultypositions, caused "great bitterness, insecurity and depression and some deterioration in the education program," Olscamp said. "The bitterness is still there for some, although a small number," Olscampsaid. "We have just about recovered," he added. Olscamp said a "sudden and unpredicted loss ofenrollment" at Western caused the problem of overstaffing and no one was at fault. "(Former UniversityPresident Charles) Flora wasn't responsible in any way for the sudden drop in enrollment. No oneperson could have caused that," Olscamp said. He added that no matter what action Flora took toameliorate the problem, faculty confidence would have been difficult to maintain. Olscamp said hisinitial job was to appoint a nine-member faculty committee to study the entire curriculum and makerecommendations in three categories; growth, stabilization or decline. Further, he said he wantedspring of 1970, Ohio State University had $2 million worth of damage and 5,000 National Guard troopson campus because students objected to the direction of the curriculum for the first time, Olscamp said. _ "Finally, those who were being planned for were participating in the planning," he said. Olscamprecalls 70s 'eventful 10 years . . .' PAUL OLSCAMP the faculty to have control over the . distribution ofacademic resources, "in essence, putting the money in the hands of the faculty." "There has been aremarkable change as the budgets were largely centralized before 1975," he added. Olscampreminisced about the years between 1965 and 1975 when "an entire nation threw off its whole moral and disciplinary history in virtually every area of national life." He said he does not think the Vietnam Warwas the whole reason for this disruption. "The war was the symptom, not the disease. It acted as acatalyst," he added. At the time of Kent State, Olscamp was an associate dean at Ohio StateUniversity located in Columbus. In that the racist policies of the administration, Olscamp said. "It hadnothing to do with Vietnam or Cambodia. Out of a student population of 48,000, 600 were blacks but thecity of Columbus had a black population of 100,000," Olscamp said. The administration of theuniversity countered the students' demands by saying it would be discriminatory to recruit on thebasis of race, Olscamp said. "The administration of Ohio State was doomed from that time on," headded. Olscamp said the attitude of the university administration was typical of the power structure in American life at that time. He said it was mirrored in corporations, churches and government. "Before,we didn't question. We thought those in power were right," Olscamp said, adding that the pain andupheaval of those times "radically changaed higher education forever." Faculty and students beganworking together and students had the opportunity to shape "And people in administration found outthere was no point in running an institution on secrecy," Olscamp added When the students becameinvolved in directing their own education, Olscamp said it was beneficial for thos students who believed in hard work. But he said some faculties and administrations were frightened and went too fvvar inaccommodating less serious students' demands. "They were under the silly presumption that those that don't know will be taught by those who do," he added. In the next decade, Olscamp said he sees a"modest fall off in enrollment. Nobody will be surprised," although he admitted he was surprised by the drop in freshman enrollment this fall. Olscamp said he has a plan when enrollment declines butrefused to disclose it. He said he hoped Fairhaven College would survive and prosper and reaffirmed hisbelief in a strong liberal arts core for Western. "We are not a technical school and won't become one,"he said. Olscamp also talked of his personal philosophy and said his views of what a university ought to do in relation to minorities has "radically changed." He said he used to believe American societywanted to give minorities a chance to get in the mainstream through higher education but ispessimistic about those dreams now. "I was wrong. Society is not willing to pay the cost," Olscamp said, adding that, "America is getting the society it paid for." Olscamp has gone through somepersonal changes in the past decade as well, citing his divorce after 20 years of marriage andsubsequent remarriage. "I am a little less afraid of failure than I was," he said. "It used to be a rulingprinciple of my life." Before, he said his ambitions for a successful career in academic life overrodehis private life. "I was insufficiently attentive to my personal happiness and those around nfie,'" dUc'a'mp said. Further, he said he had the mistaken view that acco'mp- ' lishing professional goals would makehim happy. In contemplating the past decade, Olscamp said, "These have been the most eventful 10years of my life." Charles J. "Jerry" Flora directed Western through its most disruptive and painful period, from 1967 to 1975. Student strikes, sit-ins, demonstrations and a reduction in force (RIF) in facultypositions marred his tenure. Flora said he remembered his first sit-in at the placement center in 1969and wondered how he should handle it. He said he called on an old friend, Nathan Pusey, then president of Harvard, and asked him for advice. "He tole me, 'Whatever you do, it will be wrong. Remember, thosestudents are your children and you love them'," Flora said. "My life was threatened, my pipe wasstolen and students would grind out butts on the floor of my office," he added. Flora said activismcentered in the years from 1969 to 1971 then dwindled until the end of 1973 when it was virtually over."Personally, I think the tumultuous time ended with the close of the Vietnam War," Flora said. "Manyhad avoided the draft by going to college," he added. In 1973, then Gov. Dan Evans told state agenciesthey must reduce allocations to all departments, Flora said. He added that the cutback in productionat Boeing was one of the reasons for a reduction in state revenue. Then enrollments declined and RIFwas implemented. "It caused- terrible anguish and Former university president reflects on the turbulentpast . pain." Flora said, with some faculty taking pay cuts so others could be retained. "The firstelement was to determine who were the best and whether it would cripple the department to losethem," he said. Student evaluations were used as part of the process. "There was a lot of bitterness,"he added. Flora said he gave a letter of resignation to the Board of Trustees in 1972 but the boardasked that he not make it public. He said he tried to resign several times but a new crisis would developand he resolved to ride it out. "I refused to be driven out by a crisis," Flora said, "although I think that isa flaw in my character." He added that the presidency "sucks your brain dry"and has a bad effect onfamily and academic life. "My greatest regret was that the all college senate did not operate to thesatisfaction of the university community," Flora said, and therefore was "so easily killed." "The college senate was my idea and hope and I pushed it hard," he said. "I am sorry it didn't work out. I thought itwas neat," he added. Flora said he has an "unbounding fondness and enthusiasm for Western. I love.it and I'm proud of it," he said. "Western's one hell of a fine state college," he said, "with a damn fineadminstration" and added that its reputation is better than 10 years ago. Flora is an advocate of theliberal arts. "We are educating for a whole damn life, not just a job," he said. He added that students are more motivated to learn today than in previous years. But Flora said he is worried about facultystagnation. "We need new ideas, fresh ideas," he said. "If we do not have a sufficiency of turnover,intellectual stag-nation will inevitably occur." although he admitted he had no solution. Now director ofAquatic Studies, Flora said he loves to teach and likes working with young people. Flora added, "It's amarvelous thing to hand people a new thought, and better still when they hand one back." The formerpresident said he never reflects on the past and is totally future oriented. "I'm not defending it. I see it asa JERRY FLORA flaw," he said. "I always have m.ore in front of me than I can cope with," he added.When asked about personal changes in h;is life, Flora said he was not quite as fat as before but said itgoes in cycles. "Probably next year will be a 'fat' year," he said. He admitted to smoking as much asbefore, waving a worn yellow pipe and pointing to a pile of used matches as evidence. Flora said he wasnot sorry he was president. "It was an intriguing and challenging time," he said. But added that if hereturned to his old job, he would have "terrible troubles within a year." "I am just as intractable as ever,"he laughed. .*-w*:^Â».t t i ---------- Western Front - 1979 December 7 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, December 7, 1979 barbara waits- She ponders final excuses So it is finals week already. Even if I breeze through all my tests, I'm not going to pull a four-point. Having parentally-imposed academic standards (I call report card arrival "Meet the tuitionTcheck"), .I'm , a- little, worried.So I 've% cqrrie up -with â€¢ sdjne. alternative counterintelligence measures. Do you think my parentswill buy any of these? Or even temporarily rent them? "But Dad, you know the grading system issubjective. The prof probably picks grades out of a bowl of alphabet soup." "It was a tough class. I tried my best." "I learned a lot. 1 just couldn't study everything. 1 guess I studied the wrong things." Gr: "Itwas an essay test, you know, and I suppose my prof didn't agree with what I wrote." That one is a goodessay-exam excuse. Not only does it show my parents I knew the information, but it tells them Ianalyzed the material. I thought. After the excuses, we could go into a lengthy discussion on howcollege is supposed to teach students how to think, not what to think, and we could decide it waswonderful I had opted for really thinking about my classes instead of reciting the textbook. We couldmourn together the pitfalls of institutionalized education, becrying its inability to measure the student'sapplication of what is taught. I like that argument. It Makes me sound so scholarly;, as opposed tostudently. The discussion might lead us away from those nasty letter grades on the yellow sheet, too.However, if that reasoning doesn't work, 1 could try this alternative: "School is a many splen-doredthing. Not only does the individual learn calculus and dance theory, he or she learns life. I've beenconcentrating on life this quarter." After I explain what THAT means, my parents and I could talk aboutdealing with all the responsibilities of adulthood. We could examine topics like budgeting money and the fun-vs- work dilemma. I could demonstrate how I've made the "right" decisions when confrontingthese frustrations. I would say 1 have responsibly kept my house clean and in order. I have spent mymoney on food and rent and purchased only the bare necessities, and worked diligently on developingmy talents instead of going for motorcycle rides or disco dancing. My mother would like the decisionsI've made. If they still remembered my report card, I have one last attack on academic measuringsticks. "But Mom, college is such an 'unreal' environment. Do you want a radical, anti-nuke prof toapprove of me? Geez, I just can't sell my Protestant upbringing for some of their ideas. You know, mypoli sci prof doesn't even wear a tie to class!" My father would like that excuse. He thinks I'll startsmoking marijuana or drinking beer because I'm going to college. I have one excuse left. But it is oneI can't relate to my parents. I let my grades fall because, yes, to an extent the grading system issubjective and inaccurate. The courses were harder than I expected, I couldn't study everything and Ichallenged the viewpoints of my professors. But mostly I learned about life this quarter by makingmistakes. 1 made good decisions, but I blew a few, too. I spent my time reading the biology text andadmiring the author's writing talent instead of learning about frogs and tarantulas. I had to fight with my roommates and learn social control. I had to regret a lot of failures. And I learned from these. Butfathers don't always understand that kind of learning at "Meet the tuition-check" time. â€”-hamptonhatcher Bird on day care needs closer look After author Caroline Bird finished her campus talk on thetwo-paycheck family last Friday, she was asked a question from the audience about the future role of daycare in America. She hadn't so much as mentioned it during her presentation. In her answer, she playeddown the importance of day care, saying American parents prefer to use other means to take care oftheir children while they work. She didn't see day care performing an important function in the future.Bird's reply to that question was surprising, especially when compared to an article on day care in theAugust issue of the Journal of Marriage and the Family. The article had some interesting statistics andpredictions that Ms. Bird should take a look at before she asnwers that question again. Assuming thatwomen who were born during the baby boom of 1946 to 1964 have 2.1 children, which is the averagenumber various surveys indicate they want, the number of preschool children is expected to increasefrom its low of 17.1 million in 1977 to a high of 23.3 million in 1990. At the same time, that segment ofthe female population, who have children under six years of age, is entering the labor force faster thanany other group. In 1977, 42 percent of those women were working compared to 20 percent in 1965.Today, two out of three families have two wage earners, according to the Department of Labor. One ofseven families.is headed by a woman lt; mainly as a result of the rising divorce rate. Such trends can be expected to continue. The best estimates say 10 to 15 percent of all preschool children of workingwomen are cared for now in daycare centers. This proportion might not sound too significant, but itrepresents a doubling of 1965 levels and doesn't include nurseries and kindergarten, traditionally notconsidered as day care. Although future predictions are at best iffy, these figures do indicate thatdaycare services will greatly expand over the next decade, with dominant forms of this service probablybearing little resemblance to that of 1979, according to the journal. What also is indicated is that beingan author of a popular book doesn't necessarily mean a writer is the last and only word on a topic.Responses Rip roars Western Front: Among the inaccuracies printed in the Front's Doug Scott feature, Nov. 30, two misrepresentations of fact are so rude they cannot be ignored. It should be recognizedthat formal dismissal procedures (established by the AS Board) outlined in the Student EmploymentPolicy were followed exactly. Contrary to the statement in the article, I did not choose "firingprocedures." That may be verified by the AS Personnel Director or by a quick check of the employmentpolicy. The story stated I "worked" for two months to have Scott removed. In fact, Doug Scott himselfproved the reasons and basis for dismissal from the position. He failed to work with the program areadirectors, took little interest in the varied radio activities and failed to consider comprehensivescheduling. My role consisted of alerting the Activities Council, and subsequently appearing beforeboth the Council and AS board. Overall, the story was stretched too thin. No third-party opinion aboutthe dismissal was offered. Omitted is the fact he was given formal notice of unsatisfactory progress last August. He was given a six-week probation period this fall. Only after this extensive process was he dismissed. Is this irrelevant to the editor? Less pictures and more story would have better servedyour readers.

SALT II was negotiated to achieve arms control and limitations, supposedly. However, since the SALT II debate has hit the Senate floor, a number ofcompromises and concessions have been made in order to overcome right-wing opposition. Theseconcessions have stripped and negated what limited effect the treaty had in the first place. The defensebudget has been increased by 17 percent, counting inflation, between 1980 and 1981. A whole newgeneration of first-strike counter-force weaponsâ€”the MX missile and the cruise missileâ€” haveemerged. In October, Carter announced plans to introduce two new weapons systems into WesternEuropeâ€”Pershing nuclear missiles and cruise missiles.

Instead of arms control, SALT IIis merely arms management. Our nation simply cannot afford to continually invest in military hardware at the expense of domestic needs. The rising cost of such military increases is proving debilitating to both American and Soviet economies.- Early in December, Sen. Mark Hatfield of Oregon plans to bring anamendment to the SALT II treaty to the Senate for a vote. This amendment is a moratorium that wouldfreeze the nuclear arsenals of both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. at their present levels and would halt anyfurther development, testing and deployment of new weapons. Although Washington's senators areamong the strongest opponents of arms limitations, we have an obligation to let our concerns beknown. I urge you to write your senators in support of the moratorium amendment.

This nation's leaders, in their infinite wisdom, have declared that nuclear power will comprise a significant portion of our future energy sources as a matter of policy. Already, its presence is being feltand depended upon in a number of areas across the country. When considering the uncompromisingnature of the wastes that nuclear plants create (they remain lethially radioactive for thousands uponthousands of years), it becomes clear that a six-month pause is nothing more than a glance over theshoulder of a panicking culture. While it is true that Puget Power has invested millions of dollars inthe Skagit project, the vast majority of it is not site specific. That is, Puget could pack up its bags andmove elsewhere, like Handord, without losing too much money. The NRC wants us to believe it'staking a hard look at nuclear power's future.

We can "overcome our dependence on nuclear power." As anation, we must begin to pursue a rational energy policy that incorporates conservation and a sense ofenoughness. But let's not make the mistake of including nuclear proponents as among thevanquished yet. They haven't quit, just retreated. Kevin M. Raymond Study?

The touring theater's presentation of a contemporary comedy, the story of two ordinarypeople from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," provides a picturesque arena for Western's acting students toshowcase their talents. ; The action of the play loosely follows the plot of "Hamlet," but only from theview of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Instead of entering for a small part in a scene, the scenecenters on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with everyone including Hamlet, Ophelia, Claudius,Gertrude and a bungling troupe of actors. "I can't help making serious plays comic," Stoppard said, andneither can Gregg Thomas who, in the role of Rosencrantz, creates a tremendously funny thoughnaive character whose witty expressions, gestures and innuendoes are easy to identify with. GregBerry, in the role of Guildenstern, provides a great contrast with his logical, philosophic and even more ridiculous character. In the course of their search for where, how and why they are, Guildenstern'sphilosophical meanderings only confuse poor Rosencrantz but also create hilarious dialogue. Theirconfusion is increased by the fact they can't even remember which is Rosencrantz and which isGuildenstern. As the audience discovers, no one else really cares which is which. David. Marks, as The Player who leads the visiting troupe of demented actors, creates a very imposing and colorfulcharacter with a bleak but sensible-outlook on life.

Each time Alfred enters, his expression iseven more sheepish and hilarious than the last. The ingenious work of "master costumer" Vic Leverett added color and authenticity to the play, and made it even more comedic because each costume wasso appropriate to the character. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were dressed in flamboyant blues, reds and oranges contrasting with the somber black and white costume of melancholy Hamlet. RogerGermain's simple abstract set was well suited to the restricted playing area and seems adaptable tofuture tour situations. The use of platforms and ramps with wildly textured designs on surrounding wallscreates a very appropriate setting for the diverse and abstract ideas in the play.

I think I have this feeling because Bonoff seems tobe caught between producing a slick, commercial album while retaining some of the respecti-bility fromher first album. Whatever the struggle may be, the result is a good credit to Bonoff s portfolio withperhaps a few minor flaws. Bonoff seems to suffer the most from her initial comparison to LindaRonstadt by many Jackrabbit Slim no dull bunny by BONNIE HUCKINS "Romeo's Tune," a radio hitfrom Steve Forbert's new album "Jackrabbit Slim," is finally getting Forbert some of the recognition hedeserves as a fine musician. "Jackrabbit Slim" is the follow-up album to Forbert's 1978 debut "Alive OnArrival," and promises to get more attention than the latter, although the debut did a good job ofletting the world know that Forbert had "arrived." Forbert's music defies all labels. It consistsbasically of ballad-type songs, with empha- 'Major Barbara' auditions set; open to all Auditions for"Major Barbara," a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7-10 in Old Main theater 100. Director Dan Larner said auditions for the theater dance department production will be open to everyone. Although the play was written in 1905, Larner said Shaw's genius is shown in this storyof a young liberated woman who is a major in the Salvation Army. Larner said the play deals with ayoung couple "coming to grips with certain types of evil in the world," mainly Barbara's father, who is the world's richest and most powerful manufacturer of deadly weapons of war. Larner said the play has nine roles for men and six roles for women, plus roles for several extras. The play will run during the last twoweekends in February. "Major Barbara" shows the revolutionary playwright at his best, Larner said. Headded that Shaw's genius is reflected in the fact that he makes a wealthy weapons manufacturer seemappealing and his arguments nearly impossible to refute. sis on bluesy, country-style guitar riffs.His tunes show off a strong sense of rhythm, and have effective but unobtrusive percussion andkeyboards laced throughout. Another Forbert specialty is his harmonica blowing, which is sporadic, butappreciated when noticeable. A special horn section (sax, trumpet and trombone) also addes fingersnapping rhythms to his songs, especially one cut titled "The Sweet Love That You Give (Sure Goes ALong, Long Way)." Forbert's music alone is quite catchy, but the easy to understand lyrics really make the difference. Songs like "I'm In Love With You" and "Sadly Sorta Like A Soap Opera," are realistic and easy to relate to. Lyrics such as, "Further down behind the masquerade the tears are there, I don't askfor all that much, I just want someone to care," convey a sentiment that many people haveexperienced at one time or another. Forbert's voice tops off the combination of brilliant music andlyrics. His vocals are strong but throaty (somewhat Dylan-esque), although much fuller on the slowerballads. His voice is well-suited, to the acoustic, melodic tunes that emanate from his guitar.Background vocals by\ the Shoals Sisters (formerly of Muscle Shoals) add cohesion to the songs, andfortunately, are not so overdone as to be overbearing. "Jackrabbit Slim" and its first hit single"Romeo's Tune" are both moving rapidly up the record charts, and his performance here tonight withKarla Bonoff promises to be an enjoyable evening for both fans and new listeners alike. of the criticswho listened to her first album and concerts. Besides being unfortunate, this comparison has a fewproblems. Bonoff tends to remind people of Ronstadt because several of Bonoffs songs helped makeRonstadt famous. But Bonoff doesn't have Ron-stadt's voice or penchant for rock 'n' roll. "RestlessNights" is an affirmation of this view. Five of the nine cuts on the album are ballad-like, while theremaining four are more in the "I Can't Hold On" tradition. Of all the cuts on the album, "Baby Don'tGo" is the most immediately appealing. Promoters released the first cut on the album, "TroubleAgain," for the single, but I think "Baby Don't Go", has far more. AM potential. The title cut, "RestlessNights," and the one following it, "The Letter," are typical of Bonoffs style and very listenable. She isjoined by Jackie De Shannon on her interpretation of "When You Walk In The Room," although Bonoffsstrong vocals on this one effectively drown out De Shannon's supporting efforts. The studio work iswell-done on the album. Bonoff borrowed Russell Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar and Steve Forman fromJames Taylor and Jackson Browne, a combination that almost ensures success. Taylor himself joinsBonoff on the album's last track on the traditional "The Water Is Wide." His familiar harmonies areunderemphasized. Bonoffs whole album is slick and flawlessly produced. From the additions of AndrewGold, Kenny Edwards and the other respectable musicians, who make repeat appearances on hersecond album, to the experienced Greg Ladanyi of Jackson Browne fame, all of the elements for atremendous piece of vinyl are there. The only problem with "Restless Nights" is that it follows "KarlaBonoff." The first album has many of the same musicians but not as much of the experience. The record had an aura of newness and freshness about it although several of the tracks were recordedpreviously by other artists. "Restless Nights" is a very adequate piece of Bonoffs work and goodlistening. It just had a hard act to follow. NEED CREDIT? SEND FOR THE CREDIT GAME Too young toborrow? New in town/no references?

Western's soccer teams championship may not cause souvenir mugs,pennants and T-shirts to be created, but it will add another trophy to Carver Gym. The Vikings capturedthe Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference title with a 11â€”1â€”1 record. The University ofWashington finished second at 10-2-2: Western's only loss was 1-0 against the Huskies Nov. 29 inSeattle. "They (UW) played exceptional defense," said Viking Coach Darcy Szigety. "It was a hightension game." The reason it was a high tension game was because the UW sought to avenge anearlier 3-2 loss to Western and the Huskies still had an outside shot at winning the title. But when the Vikings clobbered Washington State University 5-0 Saturday in its final game of the season, itended the Huskies' title hopes. Szigety said he set three goals for the team prior to the season andthey were all met. First, he wanted the team to improve last year's 8-2-2 record. His second objectivewas for Western to have the best goals for and goals against average in the league. Szigety's final goalwas to win the league title. Western outscored its opponents 50-8 and shut them out nine times toeasily accomplish the second goal. Szigety said experience and balance were the keys to the Vikings'championship season. Eight of the 18 players joined the team two years ago and Szigety said theplayers who became members last year and this season fit in well. "1 could substitute anyone at anytime and still have a highly talented team playing," Szigety said. Freshman Cindy Breed led the team in scoring with 16 goals. Beth Sneeringer and i o SOCCER STARSâ€”Western's women's soccer teambeat Washington State University (above) to wrap up the conference title. The Vikings final record was 11-1-1. Western outscored its opponents 50-8. Jamie Adkins booted six goals. Next spring, Western willtravel to California for the third consecutive year to compete in a couple of tournaments. Western will meet Stanford University, the University of Santa Barbara and others. Szigety will journey toPortland next week to pick up the championship trophy at the coaches' meeting. And if Szigety isasked to give the coaches a speech on his team's success, he will stress team unity. "It takes morethan one All- Star player. It takes a team effort. We are an unselfish and a very close knit team," Szigety said. Or as the Pittsburgh Pirates said, "We are family." Hail Marx,; decides championship 'BumperCrop' topples The Union for grid title by GARY LORENTSON An undefeated streak stretching twoseasons was kept intact Tuesday when the "Bumper Crop" Hybrids won the men's intramural flagfootball championship for the second year. Playing in deep mud, the Crop defeated the SwedishStudent Union 7-6 in overtime to capture the title. But the Crop had to fight for its life Tuesday thanksto a tough Union defense that seemingly couldn't miss a flag. The Union led most of the game,scoring mid-way through the first half on a pass from quarterback Ivan Farrell to halfback GregNoson. The pass for the extra point was incomplete. In the second half, an apparent touchdown byMark Flippo was called back for a spinning penalty. But with time running out, Jerry Hall intercepted aUnion pass giving the ball back to the Crop. Backed up into its own territory, Crop quarterback JamesMoore took the snap, eluded several onrushing linemen and lofted a touchdown pass to Ben Emmonsto tie the game. The extra point was no good. A last ditch effort by the Union was thwarted whenEmmons intercepted a pass in the end zone on the last play in regulation time. In overtime, the teamgaining the most yardage in four downs is the winner. In four plays, the Union moved halfway to theend zone. The Crop took over and were held for no gain on first down. But on the next play Flippostreaked down the left side where he caught a pass, and with a block by Chris Norton, rambled into theend zone. The Crop made it to the finals with a 16-6 win over the Has Beens in the quarterfinals and a 2-0 win over Revenge in the semis. The Swedish Student Union defeated the James Street Bombers 8-6and the Warriors 18-6 to make the finals. Crop Coach Scott Teitle-baum said he owed his team'ssuccess to a tough defense, anchored by "the best defensive front four around." He said thechampionship was decided on an "alley-oop and a hail mary." The Crop has six members from lastyear's team, and although Teitlebaum is graduating, he said most of the team will be back next year.The winner of the men's consolation bracket was Toejam with a 12-6 win over the Force. The women'sdivision was won on Nov. 31 by Semi- Toughest over Bob's Boob Busters, 30-0. The Ball Huggersbeat the Nash Compactors for the consolation title.

Mahoney competed in the Police Athletic Senior-Open Championships Nov. 24 at Albuquerque, N.M. In his opening fight at 3:15 a.m., Mahoney scored a second-roundknockout over last year's light-heavyweight champion (165 pounds), George Mathews. Battling fatiguefrom the long trip, and a swollen right hand, Mahoney lost his next bout at midnight of the same day toformer national middleweight champion, Bill Burns. "Bill (Mahoney) had the fight won clearly; onpoints, Just wet shorts but he just plain ran out of gas," Ferguson said. Ferguson said 19-degreeâ€¢temperature in Albuquerque, coupled with the high elevation, was Mahoney's undoing. "I found outthat Bill does not fight as well at higher elevations," Ferguson said. "Bill was really sick and his righthand was extremely sore," he continued. Mahoney sustained the injury in practice the day before thetrip. Despite those problems, Mahoney impressed the judges at the tournament, Ferguson said. "Billwill be ranked third or fourth in the western United States," Ferguson predicted. "Because of hisshowing, we have been invited to a lot of tournaments," he added. The 24-year-old Mahoney came intothe tournament as the ninth-rated light middleweight in the nation. He has 15 knockouts en route to an 18.-2 overall record. Ferguson is very optimistic about Mahoney's Olympic chances. "He is learningwith every fight, and I still have not seen anybody as good as Bill," Ferguson said. Mahoney will takehis talented fists to Tacoma this month to compete in an important Golden Gloves tournament."Bill has got to get a lot of , exposure against good compe- , tition," Ferguson said. "We will fight atevery tournament we can. I just hope Moscow is not too far above sea level," he said.

Promoters John Borman and James Ferguson purchased the rights to present the competition from Ringside Productions for $5,000.

Ferguson was referring to the Oct. 20 version of the event that featured.a wet T-shirt contest, and former Playboy Centerfold, Lisa Sohm. "This is going to be something thewhole family can attend," Ferguson said. "We still have a woman doing the round number cards, but she will be tastefully dressed," he added.

When trying to decide what I wanted that would exude Christmas withouttreading the same worn-out artistic themes, I came up with more ideas of what I didn't want than what Iwanted. This became quite apparent when it came to discussing the theme with an art professor oncampus who was to put me in touch with an artist. I said I wanted a Middle East flavor, and definitely astar. But, the art instructor told me, that was only one aspect of Christmas. Why not something like,say, Santa Claus? I cringed. No Santa would appear on this cover if I had a sayâ€”I insisted onsomething "religious." But not traditional. I didn't want any babes in mangers, or chubby madonnas tosatisfy empty Christmas sentiment for those who aren't "religious" yet enjoy the religious trappingsof the season. - So, something traditional without the tradition was what I seemed to be looking for. That didn't leave much to work with. But if the illustration itself is confusing, then I think that's where itseffectiveness lies. It attempts to show the schizophrenia of the Christmas holiday. It's not a call to "getback to the tradition of Christmas." The actual tradition we North Americans carry out leaves a greatdeal to be desired. But neither is it meant to be a slam against so-called commercialism atChristmas. Who are we kidding? We're materialistic all year round.

In a comparative study of Santa portraits- in popularmagazines of the last 50 years, including The Saturday Evening Post and Reader's Digest, Santaappears to be getting younger and more human-like. Before the Depression, Santa was pictured aselfish. He still had a magical aura and it was okay for him to be short and obese. The pipe still hung fromhis mouth and sometimes smoke rings were evidence he might even be smoking something in thecorncob. Today, Mr. Claus might still have that abdominal overhang, but he has acquired a tailoredshape. He is about the height of the average quarterback and his hands are free to hold a Hickory Farmsshopping bag or examine jogging shorts. Smoking definitely is out of the Northpole lifestyle. During the'30s through the '50s, Santa was good copy for magazine covers or full-page illustrations. Recently hehas gone commercial, posing mostly for toy and department store advertisements. In depressed and war years, Santa's clothes had a fuzzy, cotton texture. The colors were bold and uniform: He always worebright red and tied his coat with the traditional wide shiny black belt. He wore mittens to keep his handswarm and winked as if sharing a Christmas secret. Today, Santa is wearing synthetics and at timesdefies tradition. His clothes are sometimes glossy and he has been seen jogging in green silk shorts. Ifhe winks, he Usually is sipping scotch or snuggling up to the Mrs., getting in touch with alternativemethods of keeping his hands warm. Photographers and artists often had to make the trek to theNorthpole to capture Santa on paper. But in the last 15 years, Santa has been seen on Florida beachesor sampling candy in New York bakeries. In the early '60s, Santa lost his cap somewhere, and in a fewphotos, seemed to be balding a bit. In one ad in Time magazine, Santa donned lovebeads and let hisbeard grow shaggy. For a while, Santa showed his age and in the early '70s, seemed to be getting pale.Recently, he must have found an elusive youth elixer, because he has gotten that full head of hair backand shaped up. In a graphic in Reader's Digest this month, Santa looked as though he could competewith Johnny Travolta at the local disco. Christmas lists Students wish for Christmas goodies by SUEMITCHELL Lights, garlands and wreaths have gone up all over campus.. Along with these, students arelooking forward to what Santa will stuff in their stockings. This time of tinsel and good cheer has broughtdreams of going home and eating well during the holidays. Senior biochemistry major Gina Ylitalo hasvisions of recuperating from finals at home with her family. Jackleen Allen, a junior environmentaljournalism major, said she is really looking forward to just relaxing at Christmas. She added, "I wouldalso like some wool socks to keep my feet warm." Now that outside and dorm temperatures are closerto freezing, many students are asking for warm snugglies under their trees. Steve Hall, a junior fromLynnwood and a business administration major, wants a down jacket for the winter cold. AI Madeiv aNash Hall freshman and business major, wants underwear and socks from Santa. Also on the practicalside, Sarah Daves, a senior English major, said she needs cooking utensils, "because I just movedhere and don't have anything to cook with." However, practical gifts do not always top students'Christmas lists. Jerry Smith, a junior business major, hopes for a new car. Freshman Rob Wyckhamhopes Santa leaves a stereo and "lots of records" on Christmas morning. Heartfelt wishes fromstudents also abound at Christmas. Elementary education senior Cindi Cameron said, "I ' wisheveryone would realize what Christmas meant for once." Beth Romerdahl, a senior French major, saidshe is looking to the future, hoping for a "positive teaching experience." Associated Student. boardmember3 ek*li;?yifMd "said he "wishes the governor would put in a new university president in thecampus stocking." Of course some students are not awaiting Christmas with such anticipation.

Is it a sensory clue, or some sort of innate knowledge, a kind of cyclical alarmclock in my psyche that causes little bells (inevitably silver) to sound in December, calling me on to aperiod of aesthetic awareness? Am I simply a small cog in the ever-spinning wheel of universal festivebrotherhood? I think not.

As I wasmoving up and down the aisles, doing a bit of shopping, I gradually became aware of a difference in thestore. Just what it was 1 cannot say for certain; could it have been the flashy red tin foil covering thewalls? Was it the taped carols playing gently in the background, now and then punctuated by acheerful address to "all holiday shoppers" advising them not to miss a once-in-at-lifetime sale happeningat that very moment on theififth floor? :â€¢ I pushed these questions to the back of my mind as I nearedthe section designated for blood donation, the already pressing crowds that had filled the store growingeven more in number. People were everywhere. Things have really changed, 1 thought, and people aremore aware of others less fortunate than themselves; how marvelous that these people are allassembled to give blood!

As I left the store, I couldn't help but notice two old men standing behind a donationbox. The sign on the box said something about a relief fund for crippled children at Christmas. Theirclothes weren't brightly colored at all and they offered no free samples or gifts. They were asking formoney outright. And yetâ€”something in their faces said more to me about giving than any of the gaudyplacards inside the store. In that moment, the reality of Christmas became clear to me. It had beenhidden behind the polyester poinsettias, tucked away beneath the synthetic snow machine, pushed intoa quiet corner by those who chose to worship the Gross National Product. It's still there for any who care to look hard It's Christmas, I whispered to myself, and I hadn't even guessed it. enough for it, reachable by those willing to dig through the heaps of commercial rubbish bombarding every aspect of societythis time of year. For those who endeavor to reach the core of the Christmas rush, 1 wish the happiest ofholidays, coupled with the realization that work is to be done, and changes made.

Before that Christmas Eve, he knew what he liked anddisliked, and didn't see any sense acting the hypocrite and putting on a show of piety for this onereligious holiday. His business was not one (thank God) that demanded subservience to theChristmas spirit. So he minded his own business, and despite suasion and bribery, the respect iveghosts in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" cajoled Scrooge into awareness of his "sinful state," leaving himbegging for mercy.

It is called Hanukkah, the Jewish Feast of Lights,an eight-day festival commemorating the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians and therededication of the temple in Jerusalem. This year the festival begins Dec. 15. Rabbi Fred Gartner, ofthe Beth Israel synagogue in Belr lingham explained the religious significance of Hanukkah and itsbeginnings 2,100 years ago in Palestine. A Greek Syrian king, Antio-chus Epiphanes, wanted to covertthe Jewish people in Palestine to the Greek way of life. The Jews resisted the hel-lenization of theirculture and religion, the rabbi said, "because their traditions were more important than anything else."ANCIENT WORDS, OLD TRADITIONS-Rabbi Fred Gartner of the Beth Israel Synagogue in Bellinghamchants aloud from the Torah using an ornate silver "yad." This instrument replaces the human hand inreading scripture so that no word can be changed in the ancient text. The leader of this resistance wasMattathias Maccabee who challenged the Jews to rise up and defeat the invaders. His war cry, "mil'adonay li," which means "whoever is for God, follow me," rallied his forces. In the ensuing battle,Mattathias was killed and his third son, Judah, continued the struggle, the rabbi said. "Judah Maccabee defeated the mighty Greek army and the king had to concede that the holy temple in Jerusalem couldbe rededicated to the service of the Jewish faith," the rabbi added. To cleanse and restore the temple, itwas necessary to rekindle the Ner Tamid, which is a source of fuel for the eternal light. The rabbi pointed out that only the purest olive oil could be used and one small flask was all that could be found. Hesaid, in ancient times, it took eight days to produce a fresh supply of olive oil. "Then, a miraclehappened," the rabbi said. "The fuel in the small bottle lasted eight days." Hanukkah, which meansdedication, celebrates this miracle and the defeat of the Greek army. Candles are used now for theceremony and are placed on successive days in a menorah, a candelabrum, made up of nine branches.This ninth branch,of . the menorah, called the shamus (servant), is used to light the others. Hanukkah is a home festival observed at sunset and accompanied by the wearing of the yarmulke and talith, thehead covering and shawl traditional in the Jewish faith. Although Hanukkah is not the most importantreligious holiday, like Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashana, it is the most joyous. Howard, Levin, a Western vi-coed major and a member of the Israeli Club, remembers Hanukkah celebrations from his childhoodas a time of "presents, parties, good times and gelt (money)." "The story of Hanukkah is so amazing tome," he said, "with the military defeat and the miracle of the candles." "I remember the ritual oflighting the candles each night , at sunset," Levin said, adding that sunset is important in Jewishreligious history symbolizing an "end and a beginning." Rabbi Gartner said that Hanukkah is more acelebration for Jewish children, describing a toy, a spinning top ca'led a dreydel, which is given toyoungsters at this festive time. "Four words are inscribed on the sides of the dreydel, 'nes gadol hayahsham,' which means 'a great miracle happened there'," he said. He added that An. lsnael. jheinscri^tioh'reaas^'a'gre^^mir^ acle happened here."

Children, especially, are enraptured by the mystique of it all whileadults also engage in customs they can't explain. Some Western students from various parts of theworld described their Christmas holidays at home, revealing both similarities and differences to our own. When still a boy in Lima, Peru, Roberto Tong, ajunior majoring in business, witnessed the nationalousting of Santa Claus. Like the villian of a children's Christmas tale, the military government banned the legendary figure, which was thought to be too "American." "I was mad," Tong said. "I was used to Santa Claus." It all happened in 1968, when General Juan Velasco Alvarado iseized' control of the democratic government. Changing several laws and policies, the grinch-like Velasco halted all production of SantaClaus goods in disdain of the American tradition. "A lot of people protested amongst themselves, but atthat time they could not protest the government," Tong said. All was not lost. Just like we foundsaccharin for a substitute, the Peruvians were gifted with the government-instituted Nino Manuel, aninfant representing the Christmas Spirit. Indigenous to Peru and strong in meaning, most weresatisfiedâ€”but no the Tongs. "At home, we still have a huge image of a Santa face that lights up." notthe Tongs. Although Santa lists are now obsolete, Peru still shares many American (or other) customs.Nativity scenes, such as the one that takes up a large space in the Tong's living room each year, andChristmas trees, though, artificial, are popular holiday symbols. The warm spring Christmas in Peru iscelebrated downtown with fir trees, bells and lights lining the avenues. "I think Christmas is almost thesame in all the countries," Tong said. Almost but the subtle changes make the holiday different in othercountries. In Nigeria, exchanging gifts is important, but that custom takes a back seat to anothertradition. , "More expected (than gifts) is the sharing of rice," Esther Dandaura, a third-year chemistryand environmental health major, said. Dandaura is from Kadune, Nigeria, which has a mixedpopulation of Christians and Moslems. Dandaura, a Christian, explained that huge amounts of "Jollofrice" are prepared and given by platefuls to close friends and neighbors, which sometimes amount, to as many as fifteen. Another tradition of Western Africa is that of the "O-juju" dancers, bands of maskedchildren who parade neighborhoods singing, cheering and dancing. Their antics are rewarded with money or "chin-chin," a Christmas cookie made for children. "Our Christmas is an incorporated tradition.We've mixed it - with American customs," Dandaura said. However, one tradition they surely did notborrow from America is the preparing of the Christmas goat. The Dandauras usually buy a live goat about two weeks before the holiday. After being fed and cared for, it is slaughtered and stewed with tomatoes, onions and peppers fried in oil. She said that the most important activity on Christmas, other thanattending Anglican services, is visiting friends, which is done while exchanging the rice. "It's a really bigflow of partying," she said. That "partying" is, of course, Nigerian styleâ€”void of egg nog, champagneand other forms of- American Christmas cheer, which are looked upon with disapproval. On the contrary, Japanese celebrations take on more familiar forms. Introduced mainly during the U.S. occupation in the'40s, Christmas is complete with Christmas trees, decorations and "sake," a Japanese wine. ToYoshiko Iimura, it doesn't matter that she's not Christian, or of any religion. "Mostly, we have a partywith friends. The celebration is for enjoyment; it doesn't relate to religion," she said.. "We go to a templeor shrine, and many women dress up in kimonos. I don't like them. It takes a long time to get a kimonoon tight," she said. In Switzerland, the Christmas season begins on Dec. 6, which is St. Nicholas, orSanti Klaus Day, David Jenny, a first-year student, said. Jenny is from Basel, along the German border,where Christmases are usually rainy and wet. "It's kind of exceptional if there's a lot of snow," he said.On Santi Klaus Day, Jenny and his brother and sister would sometimes be visited by the rotund manhimself. "A friend of ours disguised himself as Santa and was supposed to know what good and badthings we had done all year. Our parents would give him a list," Jenny said. For West Coast Australians, Christmas is best spent lying on an Indian Ocean beach. Denice Hall, of Perth, Australia, said that thisis the wisest choice because the day is "inevitably about 100 degrees." Christmas dinners of cold meat, salads and wine are often eaten outside. Instead of singing about Santa and his eight tiny reindeer,however, they sing of Father Christmas and his white boomersâ€” Australian slang for kangaroos. 212W.

Western Front 15 Salvation Army bells ring in new season Historicalkettles contribute yuletide spirit to the needy by LYNN KEEBAUGH The first one appeared in 1891 inSan Francisco, and since then, Salvation Army Christmas collection kettles have been traditional sightson street corners in most American cities and throughout the world. According to a Salvation Armypublication, Joseph McFee, a Salvation Army captain, started the custom in an effort to provide a freeChristmas dinner for the needy in San Francisco. His idea of a collection kettle was inspired by alarge pot he had seen in Liverpool, England. It was called "Simpson's pot" and charitable donationswere thrown in by passers-by. McFee placed the first Salvation Army kettles at the Oakland ferrylanding on Market Street. In 1895, the kettle idea spread eastward to Boston and New York City. In1901, funds from the kettles in New York City provided a huge sit-down dinner in Madison SquareGardenâ€”a tradition that lasted many years. Today, families are given grocery.checks to buy andprepare their own Christmas dinners. Homeless poor are still invited to share holiday dinners andfestivities at Salvation Army centers. The kettles themselves have changed since the appearance of thefirst plain pot in 1891. Today's models range from pots with self-ringing bells, to complete booths withpublic address systems that play traditional Christmas carols. The Salvation Army said the kettlesare a major contribution in helping more than 3 million people during the holiday season. In Bellingham,collection kettles are out shortly after Thanksgiving every Friday and Saturday until Christmas. OnFridays, the kettles are manned by Salvation Army workers, and Saturdays, local service clubs such asthe Kiwanis, Sor-optimists, Lions and Rotary clubs donate their time. The kettles will be located in busy shopping areas downtown, K-Mart, Fred Meyer, Sears and Payless. Along with the kettles, theSalvation Army has a Toy and Joy store every year to help supply toys to less fortunate families.Donations may be made at the Salvation Army Citadel, 209 Prospect St. New toys are preferred ifpossible, but a repair program is available. S An official from the JSalva- ^ tion Army said it is working ^. together with the Department Â§ of Social and Health Services Â°S to meet the needs of the people -15 in Bellingham. The main rea- ^ son is to avoid duplication of services and cut down on waste, the officialsaid.

Or more than likely, they have fieard of the annual Campus Day, but don't know what it is. I could tell you newcomers that it's a day upon which you are privileged to walk on the campus—all over it, in fact—(Mr. Dack, please quit holding that shovel over my head). But I won't, because that would be misrepresentation! NO POINTS CHARGED As the records go, on the first Campus Day, back on May 11, 1923, students brought their lunches and traveled by boat to Normal Eighty Acres at Lake Whatcom to clear land. And the best worker rated a T-bone steak at a local restaurant. In June, 1924, things went on as before, but this time the ASB furnished coffee to refresh workers. In 1925, due to a conflicting alumni banquet, the event was called off. Putting things back on the beam on a morn in 1926, students really did tread on the campus, but for a good cause. Dandelions were uprooted and tall grass cut. In the afternoon, men students faced the faculty in a baseball game and the Campus Day was climaxed with a dance in the armory that evening. The next year, studes again followed the "All Work and No .Play Makes Us Dull Kids" slogan, by starting out with an assembly (no doubt to get inspired), and then proceeded to clean-up the campus^ After...a.:diamond .bottle with keen competition, men and women students vs. faculty, the' evening was spent at the American Theater. EDITOR HUSHED ; Things went on as such from year to year, clean-up jobs spreading to the athletic field and the section of Sehome hill behind the college, until May 10,1932 On this "spring day, a contest was held to change the name of Norma Istad. But nothing came of • it. And then the Editor, of the Viking (the name of the paper 'then) suggested a playground at Normalstad. He' also suggested q new name for the site, but the Board of Control promptly put the damper on said name. (Oh, these revolutionary editors!). LAKEWOOD, NEW NAME • Ten years after the last trek to Normalstad, Campus Day on May 7, 193$, once again saw studes traveling to the Lake. At this time the title, Lakewood, was bestowed, upon the playground. - In 1932, after an enthusiastic ticket sale (tickets paid for transportation and food), WWC students began their annual day with a short general assembly to, receive instructions. It was cus-/ ternary by^this :time for .the fe|r {ows.;;to have cleaned-up Lakewood the;•; clay: before and for Campus Day itself to be a fplipking piercer ^ There was a ^ water carnival, boxing bouts, t te traditional baseball gan^^ evening as^ serhbly followed by a tennis court / During the ^ext few years; a tug-oflwar^ Replaced th^ boxing; a diying exhibition was jadded, and thev^evjeriihg assembly fhad contest skits;ibety^n\brgani^d houses^ f$j yes? in$ 939, 12! merr students gt; ^^^entered ;iri a bathing beauty artiest: • ? 7\hci ;^as •[:. they Vimotleled: rsffoj'ts ahidyresses tetore the rear-' jng,:a^iehc^six :%6rn^ •• s^utietits julgeG^;th^^auties VOL.

The close of the drive found the faculty with 37% the winners of the interclass-faculty competition, and the. junior-senior class, the losers with 14%. The freshmen placed second with a percentage of 26% and the sophomores came in third with 25%. As a result of-this competition juniors and seniors shined shoes in the main hall Thursday and today. Under the direction of president Walter Baker and vice president Doris Bishop, the class worked in shifts of two, shining shoes between. classes and from 12:15, to 1:00. 5{* a shine was charged and the money taken in will be added to the WWCollegian fund. Gunner Jevning Action Victim • According to notification received by the parents, H rold'Jev-ning, petty officer 3/c in the.Navy, and a former student of WWC, is missing in action. A member of a Navy gun crew, Harold has been serving in the Atlantic theater for the last six months. Previous to this, and since his enlistment two years ago, he has been in the Pacific operations. Faculty Reviews Retirement Law • Recently placed in the hands of faculty members were questionnaires concerning the present retirement laws.

Every night, except Saturday, Ben makes the rounds on his night-watching. There isn't a thing he won't do to see the girls happy. (Well almost—not even Ben could console the lonely hearts where the -man shortage attacks, but he sure tries.) Latest night when it's dark and weird out on the, streets, Ben meets the buses and accompanies the girls safely home. One time, when the bus was crowded with Edens hall gals, Ben waited to walk the group up the steps. As the girls saw him, they shrieked, "Ben!", and dashed toward him. The baffled crowd on the bus sat in bewilderment as they watched the girls cluster about the six-foot man. "Hey, what's wrong with your ceiling light? Well, Ben will fix it. Is that drawer stuck? Ben will fix it. You say your shelf is broken? Ben'll fix that, too. Why, he even mends feelings." For almost eleven years, Ben has been walking the same rounds through the dorm, the main building, and through the industrial arts building. He punches all the little black stations you see here and there throughout the building. Living an owl's life of sleep in the day and work at night, Ben keeps a close watch on the campus and the dorm girls. He lopes quietly through the dorm halls about six times a night starting at 10 p. m. Once in a while he'll stop and tell a story. Sometimes the dorm girls write notes to Ben on the blackboard in the attic. He always answers them. If so desired, Ben will knock and wake a girl up at five to study. He remembers them on their birthdays. The sixteen keys on his ring might jingle a bit as he passes the door. With his time clock slung over one shoulder and flashlight stuck into a back pocket, Ben Van Etten has proved to be the most popular man on the campus. 'U' Debate Squad Discusses Russia • As an interesting feature of the winter quarter assembly program, the women's debate squad of the University presented a discussion Tuesday entitled, "On What Basis Should We Cooperate With The Soviet Union?" Professor Franzki, head of the speech department, introduced the three women speakers, Pat Austin, Pat Pelegren and Ann Maxtifokos.

Federation Suggested The first solution speaker suggested the only way to obtain peace is through a World Federation with the idea of power destroyed. She expressed the viewpoint that the only "way for coopera- _ tion was through the suggested World Federation. The second speaker had a similar plan, promoting a World Federation also, but wanted it established several years after the close of the war. In her opinion it was up to the United States and Russia to work together for the World Union. The formal discussion was followed by a period of student questioning at which time the more-im-s portant points were cleared up. More Photo Quiz? Here It Is; WeAimToPliz!

According to the pre-registration reports, most of the thoughts have turned to tennis making it necessary to enlarge the classes... To date, there have been' only three men sign up for track. But more are expected to do so before registration closes. Sam Carver, the track coach, had hoped to field some semblance of a U*H*V, and thought maybe he could line up some competition if enough boys turned out, while Lappenbusch plans to make most of his tennis intramural, because of the number in his beginning classes and the lack of variety competition. • A PAT ON THE BACK Speaking of spring sports, I've been wondering if the students and public realize the tremendous job being done by the athletic heads of WWC. With only 40 men and 200 women in school, Western Washington" has been able to keep up an active and interesting sports program for both the participants and the spectators. Taking the members of the pre-war Winco league as an example, how many were able to organize top basketball outfits? That one's easy. Only EWC and WWC; and Eastern had to drop the sport almost before the season started because of the lack of men. Added to this is the fact that the Vikings were an all civilian outfit; one of the few in the Northwest. • PLAYED THE TOUGHEST However, even more significant was the caliber of basketball played by the blue and white. They gave-'every team they played a close, hard fought battle. They almost defeated a top service-civilian team combination playing for hie U of W on two different occasions. They beat two top service outfits, and but for a few tough breaks might haVe added a few more pelts to their belts. In every case, the teams they played were the best competition that could be found. • HOPEFUL This spring, Sam Carver has hopes of doing a little something with his track team. If it is at all possible to train an aggregation and find competition, Carver will do it. Chuck Lappenbusch has already made some contacts for basketball games next year and expects to have an excellent schedule drawn up by the time that basketball rolls around next year. He hopes to have quite a few7college"ClubS"orrthe~roster and plans to start the season early. He has a very optimistic view on the success of next years squad, as '" his present team will return almost intact. Girls' sports have a wide interest among the whole of the student body, and their basketball competition has been as close and as hard fought as ever. Plans for having mixed men and. women softball teams for an intramural league have been drawn up. The girls hope to arouse enough interest in the sport to make possible for an all woman softball league along with the mixed league.

The score was .tied with less than a minute to go, and then Sykes, the big gun for the Canadian boys, dropped in a rebound shot to win , the game. Early Lead UBC The first quarter was all UBC and they ran up an eight point lead over the blue and white squad. Lowell Doud kept the WWC five in the game by making the first eight points. The Canadians, dominating the backboard throughout the game, made good use of it in piling up their lead. At the start of the second period Ross. Doud and Burklund found their shooting eyes and proceeded to put the Viks in the lead. The score was WWC 26—UBC 25. at half time. Locals Jump Ahead Beginning the second half with a rush, the local quint jumped into a nine point lead. However, the height of the Canadian boys began to tell, and they crept up slowly on the Vikings. Big Gene Sivert-son started to hit the bucket and Roy Wark rallied the defense to keep the Bellingham club out in front. The score at the end of the. third quarter was WWC 38—UBC 36. The blue and white maintained the lead till the last three minutes, when Lowell Doud, the high point man for the Viks with 20 counters, fouled out. Then Sykes, the American center for the Canadians, who dropped in 26 points during the game, tied the score with a quick basket. This same Sykes won the game a minute later by pushing in a rebound.

Allport Gordon W. Allport, the second lecturer in the series ofvisiting psychologists on campus, spoke to a noticeably older audience in the College AuditoriumMonday, July 17, at 8 :p.m. His topic was "The Psychologist's Image of Man." Dr. Allport capitalizedon the fact "A man who pulls habits out of a rat." that the ampliiier system was out of order bybeginning his talk with several jokes and comments on automation. He then proceeded toestablish the difference between psychologists and psychiatrists. According to Allport, "apsychologist is a man who pulls habits out of a rat. A psychiatrist is a man who goes to a strip-teaseand watches the audience.'' v ^â€¢According to Dr. Allport, a psychology professor at HarvardUniversity, there are two dominant ways of tackling psychology. One is the Aristotelian method to find, through classification and analysis, "What is man?" The other is the Augustinian approach, "Who amI?" Aristotle exalts reason; St. Augustine exalts awareness. There is little agreement amongpsychologists as to which of these methods should be employed. Dr. Allport then broke psychology into four main divisions: positivism, psychoanalysis, personalism, and existentialism. The mainstream ofWestern psychology since John Locke has been through the positivist approach. Positivists look atman as "A reactive being," according to Allport. His actions are determined by outer forces and innerdrives. Positivists study â€¢specifics and don't draw iinal conclusions. "The positivist rarely knows 'he isa prisoner of specific philosophical outlooks." Psychoanalysis like positivism regards man as amechanical reactor. It deals with the id and the superego. Allport said, "In the psychoanalytic view,the individual is kicked around in the parallel of forces.' Religion in this theory is regarded as an illusion,an escape from the consciousness. The personalistic theory looks at man as a patterned entity in whom it is impossible to account lor psychological processes. Dr. Alport, however, cut the consideration ofthis school short. He said, "We shouldn't go very far into this 'system, because the school doesn't reallyexist." Existentialism has no single answer to the nature of man. Some answers that existentialistsderive are in direct contradiction to each other. DR. FRED KNAPMAN Receives Fellowship Fred W.Knapman, Professor of Chemistry at Western Washington College, has been appointed an honorarymember of the faculty of the Chemistry Department of University College, London, for 1961-62. He hasreceived a fellowship from the National Science Foundation in support of this appointment . At theUniversity of London, Dr. Knapman will be engaged in independent 'study and research in organicchemistry. In addition, he plans to examine the undergraduate science program of several colleges anduniversities in England as well as those of a few secondary schools. Dr. and Mrs. Knapman will leavefrom New York on a German freighter on August 25 and will spend three weeks in Germany andFrance betore beginning work in London. After leaving London in Spring 1962, the Knapmans plan toreturn to the Continent to spend several months exploring cities, villages and beaches beforereturning to Western Washington State College for Fall 1962 classes. According to Allport, theexistentialist wants to "know the worst and Will study chemistry at London University make the bestof it." They are generally agreed that man's nature cannot be discovered through science alone, thatall knowledge must be faced, and that .man's restlessness is a starting point for consideration. All-portsaid that existentialists maintain that, the only thing keeping 'mankind from committing suicide is asense of responsibility. According to Allport, Hindu psychology seems to be bigger and better thanany one school of American psychology. Hindi psychology says that man is ruled by four basic drives:pleasure, success, duty, and iiberation from the other three. Allport called psychology the science ofthe 20th Century, and said that any science which is new cannot be wholly true. In closing All-portsaid, "We have a duty to study the traditional works on the nature of man, and we must considerpersonality a very open system. At the close of his lecture Dr. All-port responded to questions fromthe audience. DR. NEAL MILLER Last Visiting Psychologist Dr. Neal Elgar Miller, the last of the threedistinguished psychologists to be brought to Western's campus, will present lectures on thepsychology of learning. Dr. Miller, the son of Dr. Irving E. Miller, former chairman of the Departmentof Education at Western, is a professor of psychology at Yale University, where he received his Page 2WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN July 21, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 July 21 - Page 3 ---------- Ph.D. degree in 1935. He was elected president of the American Psychological Association, and holds memberships in various professional organizations. He has served as advisory and consultant tothe Secretary of Defense, the Air Force, and the Army. The visiting lecturer has published many articles on experimental psychology in professional journals, monographs, and books. He has receivedvarious psychological and scientific awards. July 31, Dr. Miller will present a lecture entitled "Fear andCourage" at 8:15 p.m. in the College Auditorium. "Experimental Studies of Conflict, Behavior, andDrugs," will be featured Tuesday morning at 10:00 in the auditorium. In an afternoon session, Dr. Millerwill discuss "Experimental Studies of Hunger and Thirst." This discussion wlil be held in the VikingUnion at 4:00. LAKEWOOD Unknown to Many An ideal spot for enjoying these sun-filled days isLakewood. It is surprising that so many students are not aware of this college property which is available for their use. The Lakewood area is located only seven miles from the College on the south shore ofLake Whatcom. There is a direction sign on Lakeway Drive. Acquired in 1922 from the will of an insanegentleman, Lakewood covers eight acres of woods, except for approximately 1500 feet of clearing near the waterfront. This clearing has a cabin, which may be used for club meeting or private parties, a bathhouse, two rowboats, a canoe, several picnic tables and fireplaces. Another caibin is back in the treesnear the clearing. Many improvements have been and are being made this year on the facilities. Threenew fireplaces and five new picnic tables were built last spring, and there are tentative plans to rebuildthe bath and boat houses, as well as repaint the dock. A field has been cleared and a badminton court is available. Since Lakewood is owned by the College, persons utilizing these facilities must abide by College policy â€” meaning no iquor. Any Western student is free to use July 21, 1961 the Lakewoodarea at any time. Although it is preferred that you check with ASB Summer Chairman, Gordy Mill.Keys for the cabin may be obtained from Gordy in Room 205 of the V.U. Building. CHAMBER MUSICCONCERT Presented in V.U.

It was recommended that Facilities be included inthe summer budget. The social committee reported that there was good attendance at the last mixer,and that they would try to have another one later this summer. The general consensus of opinion ofthe board is that there should be a closer connection between regular ASB and Summer ASB. Also, thegroup finds that the lag of two weeks between spring and summer quarters is not beneficial and are trying to work out a new scheme for selecting the chairman of summer legislature. Gordy Mill, present boardchairman, said, "I am looking forward to improving the relation of summer B.O.C. and regular yearstudent government. I have confidence in this summer's board to take the steps necessary for thisimprovement." Mill also stated that all students are invited to attend B.O.C. meetings, and participate indiscussions.

Because the secret of the whole CONUNDRUM of what's what in the morals of college journals—is that "good" news, to be interesting enough to break into print must, in the bargain, be DRAMATIC, inspiring, or extraordinary. Good news is therefore scarce. The average student, as a matter . of fact, happens to be very COMMONPLACE. A professor whose name the writer remembers, settles our mind on that score when he writes: "There is not, and never-has been, room in the world for many EXTRAORDINARY personalities. The world must always be made up largely of average people who work under the di^ rection of the specially ENDOWED. If a thousand NAPOLEONS or a thousand Carrie Nations should appear in one generation, the WORLD might become a rather disagreeable place. The present attainments of civilization would not have been possible without co-operation, recognition* of SUPERIOR ability or fitness, and .delegation of authority." But there can be another view that the majority of studes are supers and it is only the super-super who draws a headline. Yes, it is true that the commercial newspaper is a pretty clear mirror of public activity; and conversely it can be said that the campus paper is not a very good REFLECTOR of instittuional life. It can't be and live. The masses of people always dictate the kind of stuff that is found in the average journal—but it is the best in the instittuion who say what is to go in . the college weekly. Fortunately, college journalists are trained morally as to what constitutes good news,;so they contribute a 'sense for good news' to their readers while on the campus. But when the college writer leaves for his new post out in the world very little of this 'sense' falls forward— due of course to his bending to a pattern of COMMERCIAL JUORNALISM, and other kinds of journalism. IS GOAt OF LAST TRIP Trip Takes Hikers Through Wild and Rocky Country and Promises . Variety in Scenery and Thrills. MAY SEE WILD ANIMALS Will Climb Ruth Mountain Sunday Morning, Where Fine View of Mt. Shuksan May Be Seen. Hannegan Pass is the goal that has been set by about thirty-one students who will leave the campus this afternoon about 4 o'clock. Their first camping place will be the forestry camp six miles from Mt. Shuksan, and on Saturday between 10 o'clock and noon they will reach the pass. Very little snow will be encountered on this trip but vast stretches of wild and rough mountainous country will be seen. Encounter Wild Animals Of unusual interest will be the wild animals. There are ,a great number of wild goats and the hikers may have the thrill of seeing their first wild bear. It is said that no one who goes to fish in the Chilli-wack river ever comes back without fish. There is also a possibility of seeing deer. The thousands of acres of wild flowers which are now in bloom will prove a fascinating and beautiful study. Ruth Mountain Next On Sunday morning they will climb Ruth Mountain, which is steep and rocky. Upon reaching the summit, a remarkable view may be had of the north side of Mt. Shuksan. There will also be an opportunity of sliding in the heather. One can obtain some remarkable photographs of this mountain because of its roughness. Home Sunday Evening After an unusual scenic trip through acres of wild flowers, in view of thousands of acres of untouched timber, through avalanche districts, through the haunts of bears and other wild animals, and by glacial torrents and .myriads of" water falls, the hikers will return to the forestry camp. They are expected to arrive at the campus late Sunday evening. This trip ends the hikes planned in the summer recreational program.

Miss Dow has won many, favorable comments in her former recitals here." Students feel a rather personal interest in her, due to the fact that she is a student of Madame Davenport Engberg, who was closely connected with the musical activities of this school when she resided in Bellingham. The gifted young violinist will be remembered by many as a very talented artist.. Chorus Will Sing The Normal School Chorus, directed by Miss Grace Moore, will present a program on Friday which is the culmination of the quarter's work. The fifty members who have worked faithfully and enthusiastic cally, have planned a well rounded concert. Katherin^ Myers Hess will be the soloist and in'addition will sing several obligato parts. Piano selections by Jean Philippi add variety to the program. The accompanist for the Chorus will be Miss Edith Strange, who is a piano instructor for the school. . Carrianna Tucker and Barney Chichester, who as Helen Glory and Domin, play the leads in the Drama club play "R. U. R.", to be given August 14 and 15, are appearing before a Normal audience in lead roles for the second time. Miss Tucker had the woman's lead in "The Poor Nut", a comedy of modern youth presented by the Drama club in February, 1928. During her attendance at Whatcom High school, Miss Tucker was also interested in dramatics and played parts in both the junior and senior plays, the lead in the latter. Mr. Chichester played the male lead in the spring quarter play. "Icebound" and had parts in "Sunup", and "Seven Keys to Baldpate", the two other plays of the past year. "Three Live Ghosts", "Craig's Wife", and "The Poor Nut", all Drama club plays, also have Mr. .Chichester's name on their cast. And two years ago he appeared in a production of the Bellingham Players Company, "Bill of Divorcement". In a criticism of the play, "R. U. R.", in which these two students have the leads, Heywood Broun writes in the New York World, "The play begins as an extraordinary searching study of the nature of human life and human society . . . Capek is potentially one of the great men in the modern drama. He has devised a scene at the end of the third act as awe-inspiring as anything we have ever seen in the theater". POLLY DEE LEARNARD AWAY ON VACATION Miss Polly Dee Learnard, Secretary to President C. H. Fisher, is away on a month's vacation. Miss Learnard, with her mother and sister who drove up from Gil-roy, California, left on a boat from Seattle on July 30, for a twelve-day trip to Alaska. They will probably go as far north as Skagway. Upon returning to Seattle, Miss Leanard will return to her home at Gilroy, with her mother and sister. After a two weeks' visit there and in San Francisco, Miss Learnard plans to fly back in an airplane from San Francisco to Seattle. She will probably resume her duties here the day after Labor Day. PLAY WILL FEATURE FUTURISTIC DESIGN Designs in Keeping with Unusual Theme and Odd Setting of Play. Original Design by D. Edmunson. As-a final step in completing the stage effects for "R. U. R." the Drama club play, the Play Production class has been painting the panels which are to be used.. The colorful modernistic design will be the one note, of color to be used in the scenic effects. " As the play is very unusual in theme, the background must be in keeping with" it. The class has succeded well in working out the original design submitted by Dean Edmundson, so that it will be the proper setting for the mysterious "Robots". Posters Made Posters for advertising the play were undertaken as individual problems by members of this class, each one carrying out his conception of what the poster should portray. Placing the posters 'in business houses, where they are most apt to catch the public eye, has been the work of a group headed by Bertha Altose. ...'••'• The Play Production class, by its painstaking and whole-hearted support, will contribute to the success of "R. U. R." .V.' Plans for Dance To Be Announced In Coming Viking Former Instructor Here Receives Appointment Word has been received here by friends of Mr. Otto G. McDonaugh, a former faculty member of the Bellingham Normal, that he received an appointment as high school teacher in the Los Angeles city schools immediately upon his arrival there on June 23. Mr. McDonaugh was mathematics instructor at the Normal the past three quarters, during the absence of Mr. E. A. Bond. He is now attending the summer session of the University of Southern California, and will begin his work . in Los Angeles in September.

Edison, the great Northwest and particularly the State of Washington has again been signally honored. And it is only natural that this recognition should be especially felt and appreciated by those nearest his age, the great army of school children, not only in this section bjut throughout the United States. When viewing the achievements of mature minds the great majority of us are apt to feel at times that our small efforts of young ideas are hopelessly crude and immaterial. To know that such great men as Edison, Ford, Lindbergh and many others are genuinely interested in every one of us, giving of their priceless time to one of our number, is or should be the highest type of inspiration. Incidentally, we applaud the modesty of Wilbur Huston who says his good sense tells him jhat he can never hope to be as great as Edison. No, there will never be another Edison. -, .—-—o- JUST IMAGINE! My gorsh, folks! Did you ever hear the beat! Imagine it!

Of course reserved seats for outsiders are fifty cents, but even that's cheap. That means my whole family can go. I've heard about how excellent the cast is and everyone knows that the leads are true "professional amateur" players—and the whole cast is of our own Normal folks.

Our baseball, handball, horseshoe and tennis teams are equally as strong as those of the U. of W., and it won't be a "walk-away" for the University by any means, and—when two teams are evenly matched, doesn't that mean a real, fighting, tight game?..

Those who hasten to join the band of sophisticated criticisers of college and college life, forget that most of the great men of today are college products. Anyway, what if we aren't all great! Let's give our colleges credit that they are trying to live up to their standards of education. If there is any good material in a manor woman, college will bring it out. They can't deny that college is producing men and women with a cultural background, wide civic interests and an ability to handle business. College rounds off the rough edges. Each individual has a competitor for bettering himself in every other individual. In this manner he develops initiative, self-confidence and poise. There is nothing wrong with the colleges; it's the people behind them who lack confidence. They are too ready to believe the worst, too ready to accept the 'lime light' stories of the minority. They stop seeking the proof before they learn the real facts of college life. They don't find the proof of the majority, who are making a serious and constructive effort to better themselves and meet the needs of the present generation. The colleges of today are still experimenting, but when did we ever produce anything worth-while without experimenting, and after it was produced, what thing hasn't needed further experimenting to continually better it. No one, denies that there is a class of students who go to college to "romp" through. Yet no matter where you go—even just in life you find the individual who is trying to get something for nothing. These poor fellows in college just haven't found the purpose of a college education, and the professors couldn't make them absorb education even with the help of a funnel. But—don't forget—that every year the college finds it is able to dispense with a certain number of students, and the greatest number of them am of this type. Don't worry about your taxes being wasted on unappreciative students; the colleges have a good eliminating system. Almost too good in fact. Sometimes a"worker" gets temporarily caught in the web with the "stragglers," but he'll fight and make a comeback. The. students, rather than the reform measures, will make the college. The college lives in the ideals of the student, and if the students are living up to their ideals, the college is'going ahead as far as can be expected. Let's learn the true facts about bur colleges and college life.' Let's give college a break!:;•'/ ',:•:.I--] -^r- : lt;:'^-;:\^^::;;:-.^^;-r;;,.-;:';":1v'^: .--.

Barks We are tired of trying to be cynical, tired of thinking, tired of trying to find something to say that no one else has ever said before. Thoughts are never new but its just our way of putting them that may be novel. We remember of saying once before "The truly priceless thing is the heart that remains changeless forever." (Will you pardon repetition?) But there never has been and never will be that "truly priceless thing." Do you ask the maple tree if it will stand a lusty green through sun and storm? , Do you ask-the lily if its petals of wax will withstand the winter's blast? Yet we expect the heart, the most illusive part of the whole anatomy to weather the storm of Life and remain unchanged through it all. It was an amethist set in silver wasn't it?..

The famous old street, all lit up as per usual, was invaded with the "talking movies" and other types of entertainments that detract' ed from the box sale of the good old fashioned musical comedies, and plays... Then, also, a large percentage of the envied idle rich went to Florida, or other places of apt climatic conditions. The "Battle of the Bums" between young Stribling and Sharkey drew a lot of New York's theater-going crowd down to Florida for a month or so in. the heart of the season. Football games, ice-hockey matches, indoor tennis tournaments; all, had a lot to dp with the unsuccessful Broadway of last year. In all probability, this year, Broadway will be another flop. Producers are already beginning to migrate to Hollywood. In the course of a very few years Broadway will have a large black border around its shining, glittering name. The name that in the past has filled so many country girls with the spirit of unrest. The name that is associated with wild parties and bootleg liquor. Possibly the "black border" will be a crowning achievement in American Social life. Will it be? Is Broadway so Bad? What is your idea of the subject? Viking Teams Play Ul of W.

Just turn this sheet over, and you will see it, if you have never noticed it before. No, it is not an advertisement! Speaking of columns of good and bad nature, "Bottled By Bond" has a REAL competitor. The "Daily Bulletin", written by our friend, Elwood C. Davis, is often times quite invigorating—especially when it makes a dirty crack about Miller. Its viewpoint on current news about the school, and its peculiar types of philosophy are usually intellectually beneficial. * * * . • * But back to sports, where this column should dwell, even though the writer is philosophically inclined. By the way, have you ever studied Greek Mythology? If you ever get the time, you will soon discover that they were great athletes, and great philosophers. Maybe there is a correlation, who knows? * * * * Suzanne Waters, slashing driving net star of last six weeks, drew nearly the cellar position on the Women s ladder tennis tourney. Really now, wouldn't it have been better if the winners of last six weeks had been allotted the upper positions? Suzanne now has to force her way to the top by playing mediocre tennis players. * * * * ....The drama club play, "R. U. R." drew a good many fellows out of intra-mural activities, much to the regret of the rest; however, they were taken out for a good cause. Let's support their efforts on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The play is a dandy and it affords quite a good deal of excitement and enjoyment to the audience. * * * * Ask Davis what this New York does to a fellow. * .* * * When a fellow is drawn between the devil and the deep sea, what is he to do? Usually the fellow takes the path that affords the most resistance for fear of the other path. Now, the author of this column doesen't dare be in the vicinity of the institution on the day of the editing of this paper. .Draw, your own conclusions.- Waldo field will be the scene of a baseball game between a hard hitting University ' of Washington nine led by "Tubby" Graves and an equally responsible Viking nine this afternoon at 4 p. m. The Huskies have also brought up tennis, handball, and horseshoe squads to compete against the highest representatives of those sports in our intramural activities. "Tubby" Graves May Catch Last year, and the year before "Tubby" has caught for the University nine, and it looks as if he will do the same this year. The way he razzes the batters, and his opponents in general is a revelation to all spectators, and he seems to get away with it, too. *.,- J Who will represent this I school against the University? I As this paper was printed be-s fore Earle Jewell had. made a I selection of the players, such I material had to be left out. j Here's our idea of what the | line-up should be: G. Bond, | catcher; Moe, pitcher; E. C. f Davis or Gaither, first base; I Chandler, 2nd base; Perry, | short stop; Church, 3rd base; I E. Jewell, left field (sub. pitch- | er); Bob Fisher, center field; I and Miller, right field. - { In tennis, Gordon Broadbent, j first man; Elden Bond, second | man; Cliff Duncan, third man. f If the U. of W. brings up a ! strong tennis team, the second j two players should not be ' played, with Earle. Jewell and I Hamilton Church taking their I places. j Van Etten and McCartin are j the logical two to participate j in horseshoe, and Owen and j Radcliff should uphold the f school's honors in handball.

Foster, Physical Education Head at the U, will in all probability, sit on the side lines and "chew the fat"* with Elwood C. Davis, Viking leader. They are good friends, and are interested in the same general type of work. Davis may, however, play first base on the Viking team. He has had plenty of practice as a first sacker, and he is a fair hitter. ' Line-Up Undecided Earle Jewell has not as yet made a final decision as to who shall play, but it will be a picked team from the three intra-mural teams. We are compartively weak in the chucking line, as none of the men pretend to know how to pitch. Moe, Jewell, Axelson, and Chandler all know how to throw some hooks on the ball, but their control is not too good, or else they haven't enough steam on the ball. As yet, nobody knows just exactly who the University will bring up. A good or a bad team may be expected. They may bring up some slicker tennis players, and they may not. It is all a question that has a good many of us guessing, and guessing plenty. Foster Experienced Foster, the coach down at Seattle, has had plenty of experience, in sports. He ran second only to Paddock, in the Pacific Conference for three years, being an Oregon man, and also played. Coast League ball with Portland. If he decides to lace up the old cleats, a Viking victory will just diminish ten points. H. M. Foster has also done three years graduate work at Columbia University in Physical Education. Due to rallies in the sixth and seventh innings, the Viking baseball squad lost last year, and they are therefore out for revenge.. Another such a victory for the Huskies would be detrimental to the morale of the" fellows. - o— EDENS HALL Edens Hall girls spending last week-end out of town included: Margaret LeMaster, Shelton; Eleanor Olson, Seattle; Charlotte Mc- Naughton, Tacoma; Leona Smith, Marys ville; Ruth Herman, Friday Harbor; Marion Dickey, Everett;* Melba DeWitt, Hazel Curry, and Ruth Braun, to Sedro-Woolley; Mabel Richardson and Edna Watkins, to Lyman; Florence Hopkins, Seattle; Lillian Spoon, Seattle; Edythe Taube, Seattle; Mina James and Lucille Bowers, Port Angeles; Gertrude Reese, Seattle; Marcelle Cormier, Olympia; Helen Bloomquist; Paulsbo; Jane Kenney, Bothel; Helen Helland and Gudrun Anderson, Everett; Ellen Chapman, Tacoma; Edna Munspn, jflEverett; Phyllis Williams, East Sound; Aillen .Wolfe,' Lynden, and Opal Marlemee, Seat • 1 " " ^ i t « — gt; « — a n — » » — m —m i n — « i — a n — - n*r Moe's Mongrels Lose Two Games To Miller's Nine Miller's hard hitting baseball nine last week slugged their way up from cellar position to first place in the Intra-Mural Baseball league, by defeating Moe's Mongrels in two contests, 7 to 3, on Thursday, and 8 to 6 on Tuesday of this week. Moe's team on both occasions was crippled by lack of players, and Miller had all of his men out. First Game Decisive At no time during the,first game was Miller's team pressed.. They gained an early lead which they seemed to be able to hold throughout the entire, contest, the game ending after' the first half of the fifth inning. Second Game Close Tuesday night's game was a good deal closer than the game just previous, with Miller's outfit being pressed all the time. At one time it looked like a sure victory for Moe when Church lined out a clean home run with two on base. The next inning saw Miller's nine again gain the lead however, and the danger was averted. The next time up at bats, Church lined out a clean three-bagger, but he 'died on the bag as Perry flied out to short Church also made some spectacular catches for the Mongrels. —. o FILLERS The big city weekly once offered a prize of $50 for the best argument in compact form that would solve the "better pay for teachers" problem. An editor of a country weekly submitted this bit of pathos: "What shape, madam, was the pocketbook you lost?" "Flat. I'm a teacher." — o—.. The Misses Ethel Boynton, Mildred Kent and Gladys Smith, spent an enjoyable week-end with friends in McCleary. o Miss Grace Moore, of the music department visited friends in Snohomish over the past week-end. With all the main matches in men's tennis now being played off at the new tennis courts, and with the "head man" again in top place on the ladder, things are beginning to liven up in the net world "on the courts above the sea". The weather is especially an encouraging factor before and after the mid-day heat. And Mr. Broad-bent has regained the throne, beating a Mr. Jewell badly, 6-2, 6-2, in fact. Scores for the week indicate a general renaissance, or to be more explicit, the good players have just found themselves (—as good players, of course). The Normal's eleven stand in the face of competition thus: Broadbent Jewell Church Bond Duncan Prendergast G. Bond Owen Thompson Ludwig Leen Out of the whole group come these scores: Gudmundson-Axelson, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5; Axelson-French, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3; Broadbent-Jewell, 6-2, 6-2; Gudmundson-Hale, 6-2, 7-5; Jackson- Ballard, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5; Bond- Duncan, 6-3, 6-4; Hale-Jackson, 6-1, 2-6, 6-3. Latest Challenges What'll happen during the coming week!? Some of the underdogs have stood enough, and seeing only about a week's time left are going to smash through the barriers of 'mere precedence' as wittingly established by their superiors during an earlier time in the game. Out of the list,' the latest .are: Jackson-Hale, Axelson-Leen, Leen- Thompson, and Church-Broadbent. A Beauty Spot on ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 August 9 - Page 4 ---------- WASHiNCHXaNff LECTURE IS GIVEN ON VALUE OF BOOKS Dr. Emanuel Sternheim Discusses Educational Value of Literature and Philosophy of John Dewey. Story Stencils Are Available Now, Says Miss Cecile Evans DISTRIBUTES BOOK LISTS Dr. Emanuel Sternheim, who is a member of the faculty of the University of Minnesota, but primarily a lecturer, spoke in two assemblies last Tuesday. He is a highly educated man, having graduated from the three best known universities of western Europe. Dr. Sternheim spoke with a delightful British or Oxford accent. His first discussion on the Educational value of Literature, showed that books are of far more value than magazines. In a list of a hundred books, published elsewhere in today's Viking and also distributed at this morning's assembly, he pointed out the value of cognate books instead of trashy literature. He said that cognate books would not tend to create that false superior type of class society that we have in Boston, the South, or in this nation as a whole. In this afternoon discussion he spoke on John Dewey's Philosophy. He centered around the point of personal responsibility, declaring that responsibility thrust upon a child before adolescence was the only real way to prepare him for maturity. Scoffs at Edison Tests In this regard he said that the recent Edison tests determining the brightest boy in America, were as foolish as the previous tests, saying that these tests did not give any check on the responsibility of the person involved. He commended any • organization that developed the creative urge in a child. A well supervised vocational guidance group in the Junior High School program is a desirable goal, says Dr. Sternheim.. • __o POSITIONS RECEIVED THROUGH BUREAU According to Miss Cecile Evans, children's librarian, and instructor of Children's Literature, there are a few available copies left of the stencil on short stories for the primary grades. These stories were composed by the students in the English 18 class last winter quarter, and are characteristic of stories for different occasions. The stencil is divided into three parts, containing stories for all holidays, from Hallowe'en to Independence day. The stories are ones which are of interest to children, and are favorites. As there are but a few copies left, it would be advisable that anyone desiring a copy go to the Children's Library as soon as possible. o MISS KEELER CONFINED BY SEVERE ILLNESS DR. STERNHEIM SUGGESTS BOOK LIST FOR TEACHERS Miss Delia L. Keeler of the Education department was confined to her home with a severe cold and fever Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday. Her classes were carried on by chairmen elected from members of the classes. s o SPEAKER DISCUSSES EUROPEAN SITUATION Mr. C. W. Clark Stresses Value of Student Interest in World Problems. Addresses Classes. Although it is rather close to the beginning of a new school year, a relatively good number of positions are being filled, according to Miss Hopper. This is due to the fact that very often there are last minute vacancies in schools. Since July 18 the following have reported to the appointment bureau as having schools. Edith Nay, Toutle, first to fourth grades, music in the upper grades and high school; Elna Virta, Robe, rural; Marie Keppler, Kettle Falls, rural; Mae Blomberg, Laurel school, primary; Maxine Ebert, Toppenish, first grade; Erma Burgen, Golden-dale, fourth grade; Grayce Lytle, Brewster, rural. There is one position which as yet has not been filled, and which might be of interest to one who can fill the requirements, which are a little unusual. Any student, having four children, who would be interested, should go to the appointment bureau for further information. : o Johnson Writes of Interesting Places Miss Florence Johnson, biology teacher and social director of the girl's dormitory, who is touring France, England, Spain and Sweden, expects to return to school about September 25. When Miss Johnson, who is a favorite with the girls, left on her tour, the girls sent a Round Robin letter to meet her in England. Since receiving the letter Miss Johnson has sent various cards to those people who asked her questions in the letter. The cards have been witty snatches of foreign life and sights. When Miss Johnson returns she will act as housemother at Edens hall, which position Miss Ullin is filling now. o EDWARDS HALL Those who were away for the week-end of August 3 and 4, were: Florence Filion, Billie Howe, I na Otey, Marvel Hall, Frances Hoare, Margaret Sandilands, Jean Truman. Billie Howe entertained a guest on Saturday and Sunday, July 27 and 28. Mr. C. W. Clark lectured in Friday's assembly on the "Current European Situation", and gave the audience some interesting pictures of present-day European life. Mr. Clark has been an instructor at Yale University and is a member of the American Academy in Rome. At present, he is serving the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D. C. In his address, he commended the freedom of discussion in American colleges, emphasizing the value of student interest in world problems. Mr. Clark has spent many years abroad and he realizes the great benefit in a trip to Europe for young men and women. He has formed many acquaintances in Italy and other countries, of which he is very proud. Observant in Travels During his travels, he has observed many differences between the old world and the new. Fear, he stated, is a vital factor in European education. Due to the crowd- The following is the list of one hundred books that Dr. Sternheim based his discussion on in Tuesday's assembly. The list is divided into specialized groups for topic convenience. The library contains many books by t h e same author that are on the list.
