The collection, considered to be the largest and most varied of its kind ever assembled, wasmade avails able through the efforts of J. Mogensen, Danish Vice Consul in San Francisco, Arthur Trace To Lecture Here Dr. Arthur S. Trace, author of "What Ivan Knows That Johnny Doesn't", will give acomplimentary lecture at Western Washington State College Monday based on the content of hisbook. Arthur Trace Trace's book, published last year, compares text materials in reading, literature,foreign lan-jguages, history and geography Jin the Soviet Union and the s United States. His lecture isset for 8:15 p. m. in the college auditorium. He will follow it up at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday by appearing on apanel to discuss reading content and comprehension in the two nations. in who had the works flownin from Denmark and asr sembled them in the collection. The exhibit is titled "Danish Daily Life InGraphics." and includes works in advertising posters and poster stamps (miniature posters used asletterheads and letter seals), advertising mobiles, displays, greeting cards, and wrapping paper. Thereare also posters made of reproductions of works by artists such as Klee, Chagall, Michaux andothers. In a letter Mogensen said that since the showing, about ten years ago, of 130 Danish,posters inseveral large American cities, "graphic art has stepped modestly aside, and repeated successfulexhibits in the U. S. of Danish furniture, silver and textiles may have left the art-interested Americanpublic with the false impression that our graphic design and industry is on a lower level than our otherarts and crafts, or even worse: not worth showing." "The Danish Lithographers Guild and the DanishConsulate General in San Francisco are deeply grateful to the Graphic Arts Department at Western forhaving given them the opportunity to dispel that misapprehension at least in a certain measure,"Mogensen said. The 200 works are designed to give the viewer an idea of the artistic quality, humor and vitality of graphic art in Denmark today. On discovering that the collection was being assembled,the San Francisco Museum asked that they be allowed to put it on permanent display. The exhibitwill be here throughout the summer session. Financial Aids Along with the many new departmentsand new official functions being established for the next year, one has been set up that should providethe student with a well-organized and efficient, method, pÂ£ getting money;. William Hatch, agraduate fro,m Western with many years of counseling and advising behind him, has been . installedas the: new.Finjmqiai; Aids Officer. Hatch graduated. from Western .in 1943, ^[ith; a, major, inppuhseiing.:and.guidance. 'He received his M.A. ,from;,GJarÂ«mont College in,-; California;. Afterteaching for sevei^u. , :yearsr in jjijaipr and ^senior l\igh schools in California, he moved to Everett,Wash. Prior -to coming to Western, Hatch was head of counseling at Mountlake Terrace High Schoolnorth of Seattle. The complex system of loaning money will be moved behind WWSC To HostGraphic Arts Educators Noted authorities in the field of Graphic Arts, educators, printers, editorsâ€”allwill come together Sunday to begin the week-long conference of the International Graphic Arts EducationAssociation. Over 300 members of the lt; IGAEA are expected to attend, making this the largestconference in its 37-year history. Representatives from 28 states; two territories, four countries, and27 colleges and universities will be attending the conference, held for only the second time on the WestCoast. Santa Barbara hosted the graphic artists five years ago. There are several reasons, accordingto Dr. Ray Schwalm, head of Western's Graphic Arts Department and chairman of the conference, whyWestern was successful in drawing the largest conference attendance yet recorded. The main reason, Schwalm feels, is the number of noted speakers to appear on the program. Major speakers on theprogram include Faber Birren, color consultant; David White-fprd, .vice president of. Wniteford PaperCompany of New York; Stephen Baker, creative designer; : and Richard Coyne, art director andeditor. , Birren, who has published 16 books on color and who is considered to be the world'sauthority on color, will present one of the major lectures of the conference at 8:15 p. m. Tuesday inthe auditorium as part of the summer Concert-Lecture series. Birren studied at the Univers i ty ofChicago "and the Chicago Art Institute. He has been a professional color consultant since 1934-. Histalk Tuesday is titled, "The Relation of Color to Form and Function." The major speakers will appearin seminars and discussions throughout the week. In Wrestling this door, just a few steps away fromthe main entrance of Old M.

You possiblydon't recall that on July 27. 1958. the thermometer hit a record 102 degrees, the hottest, everrecorded by William S. Perry, official U*. S. Weather Observer. During a three-day stretch lastyear, July 11. 12 and 13. the mercury hovered at 95, 99 and 93 degrees. With Monday of this weeklisted as the warmest day of the year so far, the temperature hit 87. Sunday was second warmestwith 85 degrees recorded, and Tuesday was a comfortable 84. Summer isn't over, we hope. There havebeen no 90 degree temperatures yet to give Perry's thermometer a workout. Swedish Film, 'Brink OfLife/ Last In Series Sweden provides the setting for the dramatic film, "Brink of Life," the last of thesummer Foreign Film series, at 7:30 p. m. Sunday in this auditorium. The film, directed by IngmarBergman, portrays the story of three women awaiting the births of their children in a hospital maternityward One, an intellectual looking forward to her child to save her crumbling marriage, loses it ih amiscarriage. Another, an unmarried adolescent, has already tried an unsuccessful aborcion. Thethird, presented as the essence of maternal womanhood, loses her child in protracted labor â€” ascene that won actress Eva Dahl-beck the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The second feature on the program will present three films starring Charlie Chaplin. All four of the majorspeakers, along with members of Western's faculty, will appear in a symposium at 7:00 p. m.Wednesday in the Auditorium-Music Building to discuss the "Impact of Color and MotivationalResearch on Graphic Arts Products and the Consumer." Included as speakers in the symposium areDr. Graham Collier and Dr. Herbert Taylor of Western's faculty. Dr. Ralph Thompson is the symposium leader. Other events on the program include the, Thursday night banquet and dance. President Jar-rett will be the. main speaker at the banquet. By NIGEL ADAMS Although Wrestling Work shop's areold hat to one of the nation's greatest wrestling coaches, the session starting Monday is another first forDr. Bill Tomaras. Tomaras is known for the initiating of the wrestling- program at WSU and for the final development phase of the program at USC Since joining the faculty at Western last fall and enteringthe school's first team into competition, Western's physical education importance has been, on theupswing. Tomaras held a brief session for high school coaches last winter when about 30 men from the state ranks showed up for some pointers.

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

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

Notthe Bay so much, but the Birch Bay Sun. Not even that so muchâ€” the point is, the editors of the Sun(ex-editors, as you all must know, of the Collegian) hold an annual beauty contest. And they seem tothink that all the beautiful girls come from Canada and lie about the beach all summer getting lovelytans. Now that raises the ire within me"4â€”I happen to like the girls a t " Western, and think they could * out-beauty those Bay chicks any day. Well, in all the glory of my impetuous nature, I challenged thehonorable editors Simpson and Ehlers, saying in effect that I could find a girl here at Western whowould steal the show. So I. need a girl!! All you young lovelies who would like to help me win thechallenge come and see us. We'll pick the loveliest and rush her out to Birch Bay Thursday, August 9,for all the festivities. She'll ride in a convertible, be heard live on radio KPUG, and when we win, she'll get a free weekend for two (?) at the Bay. Onwardâ€”All the; niceties and failures of our automated societyhit me with full and sweaty force: the other day. I was out cutting my lawn (that "lawn" part is'a jokebetween me and my landlord) with a hand sickle. And as I stood gasping in the heat, the automatictimer on the automatic chimes in that big church downtown struck six and automatic music rang outacross the city.

Lets face it, only so much happens at Western. Thus the establishment of FalstaffAssociates, a symposium of opinion concerning issues MEANINGFUL to contemporarystudents. Topics will 'be selected from those submitted by students or staff the week previous to agiven symposum and stated at the end of each feature. Contributions will be accepted from any who.rares to submit his opinion; ' in the unlikely case that contributions exceed available space they will be considered on the basis of readability, pointedness, and contrast to other writings. All opinionsshould be stated within a maximum of 125 words. The purpose of such a feature is to give theanonymous student a chance to state views without the intellectual drudgery of writing a completecolumn or the pretence of composing The Very Proper Letter to the Editor. Names will be printedwith the contribution or witheld on resuest. SICK, SICK, SICK -'â€¢ Since one must begin somewhere, we have selected the first topic, "Sick Humor: What is it, does it swing, is it nasty, why don't morepeople dig it, etc." If you dislike the opinions stated, feel free to wax brilliant; only one qualificationâ€”the printers haven't learned to set up snarls, so let's keep this bit intellectual and use words. JoeFascianiâ€”"Sick Humorâ€” what is it? This .is the appeal for humor through the use of materialtraditionall considered taboo. Such material would include death, illness, both physical and mental,people in mishaps or even gory accidents. Yet how sick is this? I feel that the very fact that it is nowdiscussed where previously it was banned is a sign of awareness, even if that awareness seemscruel or crass. Was it a virtue to ignore the negative aspects of life now considered humorous? Thatthe irreverence and lightness displayed toward these aspects is sick may be true, but how can thematerial be sick? If so, then all life must be sick. I feel irreverence is essentially healthy, for it means a lapsing from dag-matism. Sick humor is hardly about to usher in a philosophy of awareness, but it maystartle that which most needs itâ€”ourselves." Anonymous Girlâ€”"Wild." Grad Student in Psychâ€”"IRemember-only YOU can PREVENT FOREST FIRES! have heard approximately 14 so-called sickjokes in my life. 13 of them I heard after spring quarter 1958. The other one was about the kid who finally found the baby's soft spot which I heard shortly after the birth of my son: I don't know." JackNeillâ€”r"Somehdw I prefer 'Sick' humor to the 'Pat and Mike,' 'Amos and Andy,' 'Farmer andSalesman' type jokes one used to hear with their quaint allusions to 'nasty' acts and 'human' foibles. Atleast a sick joke makes one realize the callousness with which we go around performing our roles, afact that old humor tried to pass off as being the expression of 'illbred and ignorant' people from'unfortunate' ethnic groups. For instance: the mother-child bit that runs, 'Mommy, mommy, why can't I . . .?' and Mother, 'Shut up and . . .'â€¢ hits home the adage about honoring one's father and mother in anoperational way. 'Sickists' do not merely play lip service, they do their duty with a vengeance. Or takethe one; 'Can Johnny come out and play . . .' Merely an extrapolation from a child's view, of whathappens in an adult worldâ€”where one uses another only to be abused in turnâ€”where regard for theburden of another's affliction is a ceremonial mouthing, sacrosanct but not serious. I think 'Sick'humor is a sane rebellion against the hypocritical maudlinism of business society and big peergroups; the exposure of street life to the eyes of 'Right Thinking' policy makers." Bob Galf ord â€”"Sick Humor â€” ah, yes. It is the sick who call this type of humor sick. Their sickness is that they arementally handicapped. Oh well, I suppose one should hire the handicapped. After all, they are fun to watch." MORE TO COME Unfortunately there were several contributors who failed the deadline,however we look forward to printing their opinions next week. Dr. Roy Mumme of the faculty has beensounded on this issue and may be cajoled into offering us a morsel of his marginal mentality. Surelythere must be someone who finds "Sick" humor abominable and detestworthyâ€”let's hear from you!First Wrestling Workshop Held (Continued from page 1) Lynch who coached the Javee's for Hubbardlast year. Tomaras said that at 10:00 a.m. Monday the movie of the; "NCAA Wrestling Championships Finals" will be shown in the Carver Gymnasium.

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

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

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

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

E a r t h - worms make ahumming sound (inaudible to humans unless they're in large numbers), which birds use to locate them in the soil. Another hazard is the heat caused by the decomposition of the food itself. The heat createdby too much food in the bins can sometimes harm the worms. Fortunately, the same phenomenonhelps the worms in the winter, Zeller said. He said sealing the bins, controlling pests and heatsterilization of the castings prevent health codes from becoming an issue.

The not-for-profit group Fairhaven Neighbors Inc. requested theclosure, which the council approved 5-2 at its Aug. 9 meeting. FNI is working closely with the city onthe Old Fairhaven Parkway extension project. The truck route will allow traffic from 12th Street andDonovan Avenue to reach the marine/industrial area below Old Fairhaven's shopping area. DuringMonday night's council meeting, Sue Murray, a resident of Bayside Place, and John Erickson, ofChuckanut Drive, presented the council with two petitions protesting the closure and requestingDonovan be used as the truck route. Murray and Erickson's sentiments were echoed in thecomments of three others who spoke against the closure. Increased traffic in front of Fairhaven Middle School, caused by the closure, was one argument used to oppose the closure. â€¢ â€¢â€¢â€¢':â€¢â€¢â€¢ The signatures and testimony join those of others flowing into the council on analmost weekly basis. Murray estimates some 519 signatures have been submitted to the city so far.Eighty-six of those signatures belong to residents within the Fairhaven Neighbors Inc.'s boundaries.During her comments, Murray read an Aug. 17 memorandum from Jack Garner, the city's public worksdirector, to Mayor Tim Douglas. According to the memorandum, the council was given in its Aug. 9packet, inaccurate speed reports for Donovan Avenue. These reports were part of the informationconsidered by the council when it made its decision that evening. Council members merely blinked asMurray read the memorandum, which concludes, "It is unfortunate that the erroneous report wasincluded in the Council packet, and we are unsure how it found its way there.

Inan earlier covenant with the city in 1988, FNI agreed not to contest the building of the Alaska ferryterminal so long as the city agreed to minimize the through traffic in that residential neighborhood anddiscourage through traffic at the 10th Street and Donovan Avenue intersection, among other things. Theagreement also gave FNI a say in the Old Fairhaven Parkway's extension. After the public commentperiod, councilman Bob Hall said, "I'll just have to say it again. I just wish you people had turned outearlier. "But the council, as I see it, has agreed to either 9th or 10th. It's just too bad." The council willdecide which street, 9th or 10th, will be used to complete the extension during next week's session.Completion pressures may be the root of the council's seeming inaction when confronted with petitions,testimony and memo- ' randum. Tom Rosenberg, city engineer, told the council Monday that thegrant â€” about $875,000 of which will pay for construction of the extensionâ€”may be lost if the citydoesn't begin work soon. But Rod Diemert, program engineer for the Traffic Improvement Account,which is providing the grant, said there really isn't a deadline, so long as action Those proposedprojects that don't meet their schedules often lose funding.

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

The one requirement they still have to complete is the signatures. PioneerCounty's tax base includes Intalco, Arco, BP Oil and the Semiahmoo complex. Research hasindicated the rest of the county would still have enough income to support itself, Andreason said. Aboutone-third of the required signatures have been gathered, but the Pioneer County committee had beenunable to meet the required amount. "They (county residents) can't get more than 28 percent out tovote. How do they think they are going to get enough people to sign a petition?" Goldsmith said. "Somepeople don't understand, we need more control, " Andreasen said. Goldsmith said that if thepetitioners for Pioneer County did a big "blitz," they could possibly get enough people to sign. But itwould have to be mostly person-to-person contact, either by phone or door-to-door, soliciting. "I live inthe county and I don't care for the city of Bellingham," Goldsmith stated. "I'd like to see it (PioneerCounty) go through." If Pioneer County does become a reality, it would include everything north ofSlater Road and west of the Guide Meridian. The Lummi Reservation and Point Roberts would remainparts of Whatcom County. Since the proposed area does not have more than 50,000 residents, itwould not be subject to the Growth Management Act. When they meet the requirements, they needonly to bring it to Olympia to be recognized. A SERVICE ol T l l l - X GRAphlc MAciNTOsh COMPUTER TRAJNJNQ Help r _ * 755 9272 Â« m There is no vote. Goldsmith said if they meet the requirements, they can have their county. Andreason said the idea to break away from Whatcom County wassparked by a similar plan known as Independence County. However, Andreason said she can't seeIndependence County becoming a reality because the area does not have a strong enough tax base.Sharon Pietila, one of the founders of the Independence County movement, said they conducted afinancial study and determined they have plenty of money to support a new county.

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

Western's 1994 Performing Arts Series, featuring nine musical and danceperformances, provides an example of this experience, he said. The theme of this season's series is"The Excellence Continues!" As with past programs, the series offers a combination of dance andmusical performances, as well as a performance by Mummenschanz, a mime troupe which receivedgreat reviews during a previous visit to Western. "(The performances) explore deeper into what you'rereally feeling," Sylvester said. "They bring out emotions and ideas in students they didn't know theyhad." The season's Performing Arts Series includes the Orion String Quartet, The Falla Guitar Trio,Ballet British Columbia, Anonymous 4 (a medieval music quartet), Mummenschanz, I Musici deMontreal (a string orchestra), Joseph Holmes Dance Theatre, Atlantic Brass Quintet andChristopher O'Riley (pianist). "The surprise might be Anonymous 4," said Fran Sekern, assistantdirector of Cultural Affairs. "They're a four woman quartet who sing medieval music and chants. Theyjust got their third CD on the (classical music) Top Ten." Sylvester contributes Anonymous 4'ssuccess to the changing opinions of classical music. "Students are beginning to branch out into findingalternative music," he said. For students who have little or no exposure to classical music, theseperformances may prove rewarding, he added. "All these composers were new at one time. To someonewho hasn't got into this type of program, it will be new music to them," Sylvester said. "I don't like the term 'classical music' It denotes a pigeon hole in music. We're talking about hundreds of years ofmusic," he added. Sylvester compared the term to calling all music from the 1950s- 90s "rock." Likemodern music, classical music has many different sounds. It's the flavor of classical music that haskept it so popular. Many of the performers in the series are recreating the passion that classical musicemits, Sylvester said. "The thing that's magical, is here's a piece of music in the form of a score (sheetmusic)," Sylvester said.

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

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

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

Finding the needle is easier with theInternet Underground Music Archive. IUMA is a site on the internet that allows those with the properequipment to download music and promotional information by artists of all styles from across thecountry.

Publishing and distributing music over theinternet might seem to ruffle the feathers of the big record giants by circumventing artists to find anaudience. In an interview with Kenneth Newby in Mondo 2000 magazine, Lord and Patterson said theyforesee internet labels as a possible upcoming industry. "We see a whole different sort of industrycoming up," Patterson said. "The reason we're so good is because we're not into the sort of exploitationthat the record companies may be into. We don' t want to charge the bands because they're the oneswho don't really have the money to do it. And we don't want to charge people for their role in the music'savailability. Rather, the companies are able to benefit from IUMA by using it to seek out and trackpossibilities of new talent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inother words, the ends justify the means â€” one of the most dangerous idioms in history. After this,could the court rule it legal to murder people working at a nuclear weapons facility? Sure. By killingthem, they could be preventing the "greater evil" of nuclear warfare. The truth is, Paul Hill shot twopeople. All the court should bring into evidence are his fingerprints on the gun and the bullets that killedtwo people. The court should be blind to Hill's personal justifications. Instead, it should continue toconsider his motives as a reason to prosecute, not as an excuse in his defense. ALASKAEMPLOYMENT - Fishing Industry - Students Needed!

OP/ED The Western Front â€” October 7, 1994 FRONTLINE Addressing ad controversy Severalmembers of the campus community have expressed concern aboutarecentadvertisementin TheWesternFront. I would like to address this issue. First of all, the newspaper's advertising staff andeditorial staff are separate entities. The editor-in-chief is head of the editorial staff and the productionmanager is head of the advertising staff. The entire newspaper is staffed by full-time students, and wehave faculty advisers for both departments. The staff box underneath the Frontline in every issue clearlystates that the advertising in no way represents the opinion of the newspaper. Most advertising decisionsare made completely separate and without input from the editorial side of the newspaper. We have amutual understanding not to interfere with each other's work. The Western Front has several advertisingstandards and guidelines. Forinstance, wedo not advertise illegal products, hard liquor or tobacco, andwe do not carry ads that are sexually explicit. Any other advertising policies are loosely structuredbecause problems inevitibly emerge in across-the-board policies about what is appropriate or inappropriate ad material for a university newspaper. Those decisions are made on an ad-by-ad basis. Our policieshave been questioned lately because of an advertisement published in this paper that some people feel is "racist" or "stereotypical." We have recieved many letters to the editor about thisâ€”all of which areprinted in today' s paperâ€”and the issues presented in these letters are important to discuss. The ad inquestion was always just that: itis apaid advertisement that has nothing to do with the editorial content ofthe paper. However, "sensitivity," "diversity" and "racism" are very real and important issues that theuniversity is constantly trying to confrontâ€”as it should be. This is the perfect place for discussion. Asstudents, we are here to learn how to deal with such problems. Let's face it, because most Westernstudents are white, many can't see that the ad could be offensive to some people. I believe the medianeed to be sensitive to this issue. I don't want to sound hypocritical in this matter; however, I want tolisten to all sides of the argument before making any decisions. One question we should all be askingourselves is whether or not this advertisement perpetuates racism on campus. Obviously a single personis not able to make this decision for an entire campus; that is why the ad has remained in the paper.Would eliminating the ad â€” along with all other supposedly racist and stereotypical images â€” endprejudices and hatred? I am hoping within the next week or two, discussion will continue andunderstanding will ensue. I encourage people to write letters to voice their concerns about this issue andothers. Only through discussion can we come to an understanding. â€” Vanessa Blackburn Editor-in-Chief The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Blackburn; Managing editor, Tedra Meyer; News editor, Pat McCarrell; asst.

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

Ross on low rung of pay ladder His $74,200salary may rise, but boost to equality unlikely By Peanna Shaw He's the poor boy on the block. At$74,200, Western President G. Robert Ross earns less money per year than any other president of afour-year college in state. And although a bigger slice of the budgetary pie may be served up soon, hisportion is unlikely to change his ranking. Western's Board of Trustees probably will discuss a raise forRoss at its February board meeting, although no agenda has been set, board member Curtis Dal-rymple said. He said the board normally tries to review the president's salary once a year, usually inJanuary, but a cancellation of this month's meeting postponed the matter until next month. Ross, whobecame president of Western with a $70,000 salary in January of 1983, received his last raise over 18months ago. But whatever the salary boost settled on, Dalrymple said it may not pull Ross out of hisplace in the salary basement, and it certainly won't be of the magnitude of the salary boost received byWashington State University President Glenn Terrell. Terrell was granted a whopping 19.3 percentpay hike by WSU's Board of Regents in a controversial November executive session, increasing his1985 salary from $88,884 to $106,000 a year. The increase, which would have made Terrell the state'shighest-paid employee, brought howls of protest from around the state and was reduced last Friday to amore seemly 6.7 percent increase, in keeping with raises granted university faculty. Dalrymplespeculated that Western's boards also will hold the presidential salary boost close to the 6.7 percentfigure received by faculty. A full 6.7 percent hike would place Ross's salary at $79,500, only slightlyabove that of Joseph Olander, the new presidet of the Evergreen State College. Olander was hired onJan. 1 for a salary of $78,588, a figure called "out of line" by Dalrymple. "I think the president ofEvergreen is overpaid and he'll probably continue to be paid more than CENTRAL EASTERNEVERGREEN WESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS' SALARIES DEKtl (Sourceâ€”Council of Presidents Office, Olympia.) the president of Western even after a raise, but I can't do anything aboutwhat Evergreen's board pays their president." he said. Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs,also deplored the discrepancy of salaries between Olander and Ross, noting that Evergreen is aboutone-fourth the size of Western, based on student population. He also pointed out that the salaries ofpresidents of Washington's other two regional universities were substantially higher than thatreceived by Ross. "The salary here should be comparable to a peer institution out of state or in state,but Western has none in the state," Ford said, explaining a peer institution is one that approximates insize and scope.

According to the letter, many more students applied for financial aid, and were eligible for StateNeed Grants this year than had been anticipated. Therefore, cuts had to be made. "It took us bysurprise," said John Klacik, acting director of student financial aid. In August, the financial aiddepartment first heard of a problem with funding at a CPE meeting. It was announced thai the statehad over-extended itself by $1.1 million with State Work Study and State Need Grant awards, Klaciksaid. Tentative grant amounts usually are established in the spring in order for students to make plans for the following school year. But, in the summer, campus administrators understood that action mightbe taken to cut back the awards, Klacik said. Klacik's committee asked if the cuts could wait untilspring pending the legislature's decision to provide students with supplemental aid, but was notified inDecember the cuts would take place wintei quarter. In total, $40,450 was revoked 1 from students atWestern, he said. One state grant recipient, senior Katy Hollingsworth, wondered, "How can theypromise money they didn't have to begin with? I had no idea there was even a chance that wouldhappen. I was counting on that money for things I need." Grant recipients could get another $50 to $70cut I n their payments this spring, without any refunds of money lost this quarter, Klacik said. But theCPE has requested that the state provide supplemental aid to cover the funds lost. If the legislatureagrees to this request, all State Need Grants will be reinstated to their original level, and the loss thisquarter will be refunded. Klacik said. "We have no idea what will happen,* Klacik said. Ine Legislaturehas until June to decide if ft will reimburse students with supplemental aid. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 ANDY PERDUE Conflicts over the Bakerview IceArena may end Western's home season. Home hockey ends? By Bob Marjanovich A conflictbetween Western's hockey team and the Bellingham Minor Hockey Association regarding the rentalagreement of Bakerview Ice Arena could cause the cancellation of the Vik- â€¢ ings remaining homegames. "Our agreement that we had with the arena (which is run by Minor Hockey Association) inregard to ice rental, crowd control and so on, was in question, and we weren't satisfied with some ofthe things they were asking, so we canceled any further activities . . . until we were able to work out acontract," Coach John Utendale said. He said at a meeting last week the association resulted in acontract being agreed to verbally by both sides, but he would not disclose the terms for fear theymay hamper the negotiations. The conflict was not the cause of the Bellingham Blazer gamecancellation on Jan. 18, Viking hockey Manager Chet Cery said. "The Blazers canceled the game astheir playoffs were coming up," Corey said. The main issue in the current negotiations is crowd control and how to handle the alcohol problem in the stands, Utendale said. Utendale said the team will be incharge of providing security for future home games. As of press time, the Friday game against theUniversity of Washington at the arena was on, Utendale said, but should the negotiations "fall apart," the game will be canceled.

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe it was the prediction of George Orwell or the vilevision of Nostradamus, but the music of 1984 was a bland sophomoric symphony.

This is not meant to be an insult to those who bought such products. Recordcompanies have tightened the choices of what the public can buy. So this gives us a choice from Ratt to Prince and whatever falls in between. The bands that don't fall into this mega-sales category get lost inthe shuffle. To complain about 1984 could become a long and endless process. It would end up dull anddepressing. The music was unimaginative and the lyrics were simplistic; aimed directly at usâ€”thepassive Pepsi generation. Two examples of this would be Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night," andCyndi Lauper's "She Bop." The latter being a blatant bastardization of Gene Vincent's rock masterpiece"Be-Bop-A-Lula." Why think when we can react. Right? The record companies have us right in theirhands. Last year also was big in musical media hype: 1. The Jackson's "Victory Tour" that raped andpillaged people for $30 a ticket. 2. Lionel Richie sang live to millions (via television) at the OlympicGames. 3. Ronald Reagan praised Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." album. Big deal. Despitean overall constipated year in music, a few noteworthy things managed to slip out. The pleasantsurprises being: The Honeydrippers, Julian Len-non, Lou Reed and Spinal Tapp. A couple of excellentjazz releases came out last year too. Jazz guitarist Kazumi Watanabe's "Mobo I" and Shadowfax's "The Dreams of Children" were among the few musical standouts in 1984. ^ gt; WEEKEND BRUNCHES$100 OFF ALL BRUNCHES THRU JANUARY EVENING SPECIALS Open: Mon.-Fri. 11-7 pm - Sat.10-3 pm, Sun. 10-12 = S ^9 $1Â°Â° OFF 1140 NORTH STATE 733-4927 | SANDWICHES THRU JAN.ACROSS FROM THE HERALD BUILDING i Serving Home-Cooked Food For Over 9 Years! = I ALLVEGETARIAN '"â€¢ "IIIIIIP1!* m m m m i M i u i i STUDENTS!

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

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

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

Here, they battle for rebound in the contest won by theVikings, .62-57. â€” It's been a tough season for Western's men's basketball team, but Saturday night it made up for all the frustration, tripping up Central, 62-57, in overtime at Carver Gym. The Vikings wonthe game at the charity stripe, hitting 26 of 31 free throws, including nine of 12 in overtime, while sending the Wildcats to the line only once all night, where Darrell Tanner hit one of two. "We had to get 'em,"said guard John DeFranco, who hit three of five freebies in the overtime, including one that gave Vikingsthe lead for good at 56-55 with 1:02 to play. "We just decided that we weren t going to foul them," hesaid. "We packed it in on defense, and we weren't going to give them the easy shots inside. We toldourselves that if they were going to beat us, they'd have to do it from the inside." Shane Nickel, thebiggest Viking at6-foot-7, was the one who had to contend with a Central frontline that included 6-8center Ron vanderSchaaf and 6-7 forwards Tanner, who transferred in from Washington, and RodnieTaylor, a transfer from the University of Oregon. "They got in there and forced it up and expected it to go in," Nickel said. "It was good. They are an awesome team. We played well and took it to them."Western led for the first 14 minutes of the game, before Gordon Dixon fired in an 18-footer to giveCentral its first lead of the night at 24-22 with 5:56 remaining in the BlueMo* THE JJttie MOXRESTAURANT SPECIALIZING IN FINE DINING, DANCING, and COCKTAILS.

The Wildcats expanded that margin to 32-25 at the break,then put on an 8-2 burst to take a 40-27 lead with 16:50 to play. It looked as I though the rout was on.Someone forgot to tell the Vikings, though. The turning point of the game came with 10:41 remainingwhen Central committed its seventh foul of the half, sending Western into one-and-one. The Vikings hit17 of 20 free throws after that point. The Vikings clawed their way back into the game, and a pair of TimDickerson free throws cut the margin to 45-41 with 10:15 remaining. Western couldn't come any closer,though, until Larry Tuell hit both ends of a one-and-one with 4:11 to play, cutting the margin to 49-47.DeFranco finally pulled the Vikings even at 49-49, with (what else?) a pair of charity tosses with 1:51to play. Both teams had opportunities to win, as the Wildcats turned the ball overtwice in the final twominutes, and the Vikings turned it over on a traveling call. But they got the ball back, only to have TimNicholas' 19-footer hit the backside of the rim and bounce away at the buzzer. Nicholas' shot came from the same spot where Todd Bailey's jumper gunned down the Wildcats last season, and DeFranco andCoach Bill Westphal remembered. "It was an instant replay," DeFranco said. "I figured it was all over."MIIMMH $2.00 off all kegs â€” Sunday thru Wednesday Westphal said, "I couldnt believe it. I knew itwas all over; I saw the ball falling through the net, only no one else did." Westphal also complimentedthe crowd. "I couldn't believe the crowd. They were great, they would not let us quit. "We were behind,but I looked around, and I heard the crowd, and I said 'we got this game, it's ours.' They were incredible," he said. Westphal said the Vikings planned to get Central in foul trouble. "Our second-half philosophy was to take the ball to the hole, and draw fouls, not to live or die by the jumper," he said. "When we'vetried that, we've died."

Last month that reporter, Michael Wickline, then-managing editor of the DailyEvergreen, took an upside-down glance at a memo on a secretary's desk and learned that WSU's Boardof Regents planned to grant retiring university president Glenn Terrell a 19 percent pay increase.Fortunately, Wickline's ensuing story touched off a statewide chain reaction of protest about theincrease, which would have made Terrell Washington's highest-paid public official. Last week the WSURegents bowed to public pressure, and reduced Terrell's pay boost to 6.7 percent, the same increasethat state faculty members are scheduled to receive. Those regents had to be forced to limit Terrell's payraise. One would hope Western's Board of Trustees will take advantage of the WSU hoopla and take itupon themselves to keep their senses when they discuss a raise for President G. Robert Ross nextmonth. Ross sits at the low end of the university-honcho totem pole with his current salaryâ€”apaltry$74,200 peryear. A 6.7 percent raise for the president seems fair, especially since Western's !faculty will receive the same. But why stop there? Almost half of that 6.7 percent granted to Western'sfaculty is doled-out to those professors deemed "meritorious"for excellence in teaching. As a result, amajority of faculty members are left with a 1.2 percent pay raise, while others may receive up to 20percent. And since university presidents must be meritorious to be in the position they're in, surely Rosswouldn't mind undergoing a merit evaluation like other state-salaried educational professionals oncampus. It would be the only meritorious thing to do. Higher fee needed for better service On Jan. 23Western students will be asked for their reaction to a possible increase next year in the $6 HealthServices fee. Options include leaving the fee at $6, or increasing it to $8, $9 oi $10 a quarter. If the fee is not increased, cuts in Health Services offerings inevitably will occur. Health Services would no longer beable to afford its contract with St. Luke's emergency room. Also gone would be two of Health Services'fiye part-time nurses. ' An increase in the Health Services fee. definitely is needed, but a $2 increase isn't enough and a $4 increase is too drastic for what will be gained. An $8 fee is expected to raise about$214,000, with an additional $9,000 coming from service fees and the Whatcom Medical Bureau.This would be $6,000 short of the revenue necessary to hire a new director to replace Evelyn Schuler whois retiring. The new director would be qualified to write medical prescriptions. A $10 fee would allow forhiring the new director and an assistant director, purchasing a computer and offering programs such as biofeedback and "wellness." By adopting a $9 increase, almost $250,000 would be raised allowingenough money to hire a new director and have almost $20,000 in reserve to allow for inflation and eitherpurchase a computer or sponsor some more programs, whichever would be most useful. In any case,students should voice their opinions at the open hearing tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge.Cinderella goes to the governor's ball Color coordination a must By Janice Keller C inderella goes to theball. . . or rather middle-class girl from Western goes to the governor's inaugural celebration. Never mindthat I had to dig out my beer-stained lace gown left over from my high school prom, borrow shoes fromfriends, and talk a wealthy aunt out of her mink coat and jewels for the occasion. Forget also that I hadto ask someone to escort me and have him give me a crash-course in ballroom dancing, then begBooth Gardner's office for tickets to the eventâ€”I was going to the ball.! Not only was the inauguralcelebration honoring a new governor whom I respect and admire, but the gala event had historicalsignificance as well. For the first time in state history, the Legislative Building, with its majestic dome,was the site of the ball. From the House and Senate floors to the third floor of the rotunda, the 4,000guests filled the grandiose building. The elected official's offices were open as well as the StateReception room, the governor's conference room and even the marble-floored cafeteria, for all to tour.Reino Moiso played for dancing in an Balancing toys between men and boys Playing in a nuclear ageelegant state room overlooking the capital campus, where guests danced until midnight. Fashion andcolor coordination are vitally important at this type of social event, mainly because the biggest reasonfor attending is to watch everyone else. Clothing must be appropriate and everything must match. Themen have it much easier than women. They throw on a simple tuxedo and away they go. Women,however, must worry about everything they wear. When 1 finished dressing, my gloves matched myshoes and my dress (a minor miracle), and my underwear matched my date's tie and cummerbund.But still 1 worried . . . until we arrived and the first inaugural guest 1 saw was a large woman in a dumpyblue dress and clunky black shoes. Assured that someone looked worse than I did, we floated into theball. For every Glamour "Do" at the ball, there was a Glamour "Don't," including one satin-clad lady whorelinquished her wine glass to swig from a bottle of. Riesling. Worse yet, the son of a well-known statepolitician chose casual brown shoes to wear with his black tuxedo . . . tacky, tacky, tacky!! Still, it wasfun to be at the state capitol with such a variety of power and prestige, as well as regular people likemyself, and have the opportunity to offer a champagne toast to Gov. Gardner. . .and it was worth the$20 ticket just to see my date walk out of the ball with a 1980 bottle of Hinzerling Vineyards Chardonnayin his pants. By Naomi Stenberg I t was a very simple war spread out on the living room floor. Theforces of Cobra, led by Zartan, advance from the jungle, creeping stealthily over the marshy ground. Alone 'copter appearsâ€”it's a Dragonfly JF6784026 with a red, white and blue insigniaâ€”Wild Bill, acrackerjack G.I. Joe, fires a missile. In the mind of the boy directing the war, a huge, gaping hole opens up. And Zartan and the Cobra forces are enveloped in swirling, noxious smoke. 1 asked the 12-year-oldcommander if he'd consider "nuking" the bad guys. He looked at me indignantly, "My G.I. Joes wouldnever drop a nuclear bomb. They're not that stupid." "Besides," he continued, "these are toys. The realthing can stuff it up their butts!" he laughed, turning to go back to "the front." Then he said soberly, "Thereal thing scares me to death." Nathan wrote to Reagan two months ago. "Dear Mr. Reagan: I think youshould stop building up. nuclear arms. I want to live to be old . . . " The letter was sent last week. Lastnight, Nathan's mother wandered into a mine field. Flip Breskin is a folk singer who was once run downby a truck during a peace march. She surveyed the evening's wreckage and said laconically, "Well,Nathan, maybe we could get out some sterno and show you how to napalm people." He said with morethan a hint of fear in his voice, "I don't wanna find out." Like most humans, Nathan is a study inparadoxes. He showed me a plastic pellet about the size of a baby tooth. "This is the only bomb I have.It's a flash-fire bomb, I believeâ€”blinds the pilot." He reminded me of something Truman said about thebomb that hit Hiroshima. "That bomb had more power than 20,00 tons of TNT," Truman announcedproudly over the airwaves on Aug. 7, 1945. "It had more than 2000 times the power of the British GrandSlam, which is the largest bomb ever used in the history of warfare." Maybe the only difference betweenmen and boys is the size of their toys. I wonder if Reagan floats a U.S. Navy in his bath-' tub. . . or plays with space missiles for fun. He doesn't seem to knowâ€”anymore than Nathanâ€”the true nature of histoys. At the close of the presidential debates, Reagan talked about driving along the Pacific Coast, being struck by its splendor and wondering about the people who would drive that road years later. "Theywould know," he said, "whether we used nuclear weapons or not." Ronnie, if your G.I. Joes drop anuclear bomb on the Cobra forces and they retaliate with even a fraction of their arsenal, there won't beanyone around to know if there was a coast at all. There won't be any beaches, ocean waves, AnnetteFunicelloâ€”there won't be a Pacific Coast. Grow up,, Peter Pan, and look at the gamma rays. This is our only time around.

On one hand, I applaud the rousing of an apathetic public to action against oneof the more brutal examples of oppression in this century. One the other, I deplore the lack ofcommitment, energy and devotion to the rights of those people suffering from oppression undercommunist rule. It seems to me that a nation must be traditionally aligned with the West in order toqualify for vilification by the liberal establishment, while excesses by communist or Third Worldcountries go unnoticed and/or unchallenged. There is a double standard here, and I think somethingneeds to be done abut it. I wish Yvonne Ward and her friends would champion the cause of brutallyoppressed Soviet Jews and Christians as diligently as they do that of black South Africans, it would bemore even handed if Ms. Ward introduced an AS resolution directing the university to withdraw itsfunds from banks dealing with the Soviet Union, as a gesture of solidarity with Soviet Jews andChristians imprisoned in the Gulag. The brutal mistreatment of these two groups is every bit as deserving of attention as the South Africans. Would the AS act as energetically on their behalf? I doubt it. SovietJews and Christians aren't the rage nowadays. They aren't "in." They're not getting the press. And worstof all, they're being oppressed by a non-western coun- â€¢ try. And people oppressed by non-westerrfcountries generally tend to be ignored. Now, if a group is being oppressed by a nationtraditionally aligning itself with the West, well that's a horse of a different color. For that group all the sorts of things can be done. By all means, withdraw our funds from institutions dealing with SouthAfrica. But withdraw them from institutions dealing with the Soviet Union, too. -Remember the blackSouth Africans and fight for their rights. But remember Soviet Jews and Christians and fight for theirrights, too. The time has come for the AS to prove it champions the rights of all oppressed peoples, notjust those residing in pro-western countries. Come on, Yvonne. How about some equal time andconsideration? Eric Leibman In Defense of Ward's Actions Western Front, I am sure that Yvonne Wardis more .than capable of defending herself, yet as a reader and an interested observer of this conflict, Itook offense to the level of unreasoning persecution displayed by Mark Watson in his letter of Jan. 18. Mr. Watson begins his attacking and trivializing Yvonne Ward's concerns over pornography and SouthAfrica; as if merely having an opinion is bad. If apathy is such an overriding concern to Mr. Watson,perhaps he should not be commenting. Second, Mr. Watson criticizes the move to boycott IBM sayingthat it would have been ineffective. Certainly, toppling IBM was not. the goal of any AS board member.The question was whether or not we should be helping IBM by purchasing from them. This is at thevery least a legitimate question. With another questionable display of argument, Mark Watsonwonders what Ms. Ward was doing reading Penthouse anyway. Surely an AS officer has a right, indeedas responsibility to react to what is being sold by this university. This is called university self-government and it is neither impious nor paternalistic. Finally, as if to proclaim that even blatant sexismis not dead, Mr. Watson asks whether the "surrogate parent" in Yvonne Ward would wish to cook forhim. She might, but considering the tone of his letter, I don't think that poison would be completely out of the question. Ken Bahm Board member disputes opinion Western Front, In your editorial of Jan. 15,you stated that "the AS Board is making resolutions to be followed by the rest of Western, and not by itself."

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

Dalrymple was quick to praiseRoss for his excellent job as president of Western, but was just as quick to reiterate the board wouldact with expedience. He said the presidential salary has been out-of-step with that at other stateinstitutions for several years, but the board generally has held that the presidential increase should bekept in line with those received by other Western personnel. "It's totally up to the board.

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

Located on the first floor ofCanada House, the club will open its doors tomorrow to all faculty who have paid the $5 initiation fee and the $5 monthly dues. Dues will go toward paying moving costs, maintenance and rent. While still in its planning stages last spring the club came under fire for using university monies to finance anarchitectural design for remodeling Canada House. Richardson, of the speech department, said part of the rent will go toward paying back the money. Opponents also said it was inappropriate for the Faculty Club to displace academic programs. Canadian/American Studies, which had occupied the firstfloor of Canada House, will move upstairs. Pacific Northwest Studies, which had been upstairs, movedto the Commissary in Fairhaven. A few quirks still need to be straightened out, Richardson said, suchas the amount of rent to be paid. The club will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.Richardson said the club may extend its hours on Fridays, but that has not been settled yet, , SAGAwill serve a limited menu .of soup, salad and sandwiches. Beverages and dessert also will be available.Richardson said until now, Western. had been the only university in the state without a faculty club.Western did have a faculty dining area until the late 1960s when protesting students stormed the roomand.took over, Richardson said, r The faculty club is needed, Richardson said, for faculty to have aplace to eat lunch .together;; and become more acquainted.

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

The AS goal is to register atleast 2,000 people to vote in the Nov. 2 general election, said Jamie Beletz, an organizer of Project Vote 82. Volunteers will be at fall quarter registration at Western, dormitories, campus dining halls, day-care centers, low-income housing, the employment office, churches and the Beth Israel Synagogue.The voter registration drive, which started . Thursday, continues with auditor's deputies at fall quarterregistration. --People who want to become voter-registration deputies will meet at 2:30 p.m. today in theAS office, Viking Union 227. From there, they'll take a van to Whatcom County Auditor Joan Ogden'soffice to be sworn in. The AS currently has six deputies, said Jan Mabry, another Project Vote' 82organizer and the AS vice president for internal affairs. Project Vote '82, organized locally by the AS, isco-sponsored by the Washington Student Lobby, Students Opposed to Reductions in Education and the Whatcom County Central Labor Council.

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

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

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

MASON Huge wilderness awaits the hardy By MARK CARLSON ~ Make no mistakeâ€”WhatcomCounty never will be confused with Parma, Ohio. Beyond the pulp mill plumes of Bellingham and theDutch-reformed Kitsch of Lynden are hundreds of square miles of wildernessâ€”culminating in thehands-off-capitalism North Cascades National Park on the county's eastern fringe. Better yet, all ofthis wonderland is laced with hiking trails that allow outdoorsmen to probe river valleys, roam highland ridges and scale peaks. The North Cascades are considered by many to be the Lower 48's premierwilderness area. It doesn't take much money to relish this region's delights, either. All you need isenough gasoline to drive to the trailhead, a knapsack containing lunch, additional warm clothing, theU.S. Geological Survey map that covers the area you're hiking, matches, a knife and a flashlight. Inaddition, it's best that hikers never set off alone on a journey. If you break an ankle, you'll want someoneto summon aid. Of course, hikers should pack lightly only for day hikes in good weather. If you'replanning a multi-day trek through the wilderness, you'll need additional gear and a reputableguidebook, s u c h as the M o u n t a i n eers' 101 Hikes in the North pure Cascades. This article willaddress only day hikes accessible to anyone able to walk more than several miles at a single shot.Winchester Mountain Though it climbs to the lofty 6,521-foot-high summit of Winchester, this five-mileround trip is one of the easiest hikes in tne North Cascades. The toughest task on this trek is driving tothe trailhead. Travel the Mount Baker Highway to Glacier and continue another 13V2 miles before turning left on a road signed "Tomyhoi Trail 5, Twin Lakes 7." This road was built by the county and isn'tmaintained by the U.S. Forest Service. It's in terrible condition. Unless you drive a Jeep or some otherfour-wheel- drive vehicle, you'll probably want to walk the final couple miles to the trailhead at TwinLakes. The Winchester Mountain trail climbs through heather, alpine trees and flowers to the summit,which is the site of a long-gone lookout cabinâ€”on clear days it affords a sweeping view of the NorthCascades and the Puget Sound lowlands. The trail should be snow-free through the end of October.Chain Lakes Loop Mounts Baker and Shuksan dominate this six-mile journey through alpine meadowsloaded with blueberries. Follow the Mount Baker Highway to its end at Austin Pass. The first part ofthe journey is a dull hike up a battered gravel road, but things get much nicer at the formal trailhead atthe roadend. In a scarce few hundred feet you'll encounter a spur trail veering to the left. Keep right, for the spur trail crosses a steep and extremely hazardous snow field that's no-man's-land unless you own an ice axe and know how to use it. â€¢ " , The main trail wanders over a â€¢ 5,400-foot saddle alongthe base of Table Mountain and then laces through a series of pretty mountain lakes. You'll want tolinger at many spots along the way to listen for the whistles of marmots and the distant thunder ofwaterfalls. Between the final two lakes on your journey, watch for a spur path on the right. It gains 900feet in two miles and winds up near the trailhead, where your car is parked. It wipes out the necessity of returning along the gravel road, since the main trail winds up at the Mount Baker Ski Area. The ChainLakes Loop usually is snow-free until early November. Baker River This trail neither ascends highpeaks nor rambles through alpine meadow. Rather, the Baker River Trail follows the river of the samename through one of the few remaining wilderness valleys '-l the nation. And instead of culminating ina scintillating view of mountains and water, the Baker River trail simply peters out in the midst of adeep, damp forest. Because the trail crosses into the North Cascades National Park, you'll need a parkservice back country permit, which is available at park headquarters in Sedro Woolley. The trail hoversat around 1,000 feetâ€”that means it's snow-free most of the year. It makes a fine hike when the highcountry is covered with 10 feet of snow To find the trail head, travel on the North Cascades Highway,14Vz miles east from Sedro Woolley. Then turn left on the Baker Lake- Grandy Lake road 14 miles toKomo Kulshan Guard Station on Baker Lake. Follow the gravel Forest Service Road 11% miles beforeturning left on a "half-mile spur. Take the first right, and drive another half mile to the trailhead. Hikethree miles along the trail, enjoying along the way views of rushing white water and occasionalglimpses of Shuksan and other white giants. Have lunch at Sulfide Creek before heading back to the car. Thunder Creek Another wilderness valley, except this one deserves top priority for an outing. Its futureis in jeopardy. Seattle City Light wants to raise the height of Ross Dam, which would flood thisexquisite valley and ruin it forever. Find the trailhead at Colonial Creek Campgroundâ€”it's just off theNorth Cascades Highway near Diablo Dam. The trail follows an inlet of Diablo Lake for about one milebefore plunging into virgin-growth timber. A good turnaround point is at a campsite on McAllister Creek,six miles from the trailhead. Once you're back home, immediately sit down and write Seattle City Lightto strongly express your opposition to its plan to turn Thunder Creek Valley into a mudflat. Sendcarbon copies to Congressman Al Swift and Senators Henry Jackson and Slade Gorton. Cascade Pass Here's the granddaddy of them all. It's a seven-mile round trip to an historic notch high in theCascades. The pass has been a cross-mountain route traveled by Indians, prospectors andexplorers since before history was recorded in these parts. Drive the North Cascades Highway toMarblemount and turn right on the Cascade River Road 25 miles to the trailhead. The extremely well-maintained trail climbs at an easy 10 percent grade through forest for two miles before exploding intospectacular alpine parklands at the pass, 5,400 feet above sea level. Take care not to trample thefragile meadows at the pass, and don't light campfires. The area has suffered from overuse and the ParkService is seeking to rehabilitate those portions of the region that have been loved nearly to death. Butby all means exploreâ€” don't just confine your stay to a brief lunch stop. A two-mile side trip to 7,600-foot-high Sahale Arm beckons for the adventurous-the path winds to the left up a ridgeâ€”who seek evenmore extensive views. Other side trips deserve to be taken, which means you'll return to Cascade Passagain and again. Epilogue These are just a few of the dozens of tremendous trips the dedicated NorthCascades traveler should investigate. Explore as many as you can, but don't feel you should seek outthem all during your stay at Western. That's impossible. This area has enough adventure for alifetime of hiking. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 9 Rental shop serves man-of-all-seasons Many ofWestern's sendees are designed to help students survive the classroom, but at least one program cangive them an adventurous escape from the often gray academic cloud.

Theshop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. During fall, students' biggest demand probably will be forcamping gear, John Forsen, summer manager, said. Stoves, tents, sleeping bags and frame andframeless packs could be in short supply, he said. Wetsuits are available for use* with rafts or for othersportsâ€” including wind surfing and scuba diving. As the seasons change, different items gain and losepopularity. "It (the equipment) is all very seasonal," Forsen said. Because of winter's usual snowfall onMount Baker, all of the shop's skis, boots and snowshoes are used during most weekends, Forsen said.The shop leases 30 to 40 pairs of cross-country skis and 20 to 30 pairs of ski boots. The shop's four pairs of mountaineering skis have no-release bindings, called "bear traps." Students can choose betweenwaxable and non-waxable skis.

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

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

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

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

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

Holly 734-5900 AS President Mark Murphy side of student government, but perhaps the most important serviceprovided by the Associated Students is the allocation of student fees to AS clubs and programs. .The Associated Students fund a plethora of groupsâ€”all with money that students pay as part of theirtuitionâ€”ranging from political interest groups, such as the Human Life Club, to club sports, such askarate. It is in this realm that the average student is most likely to become aware of the existence ofstudent government. Every spring, the AS board, in conjunction with a university committee composedof students and administrators, allocates student monies to various clubs and organizations. As in allbudgetary processes, some groups come out looking better than others. "Some interests tend to belouder," Murphy noted. "But that doesn't mean they will be listened to more than others." In addition to its nine elected board members, Western's student governance system is filled out by scores ofappointments to univestity committees. Most students who are interested manage to be appointed tosome sort of committee, and thus gain initial experience in the Associated Students organization,Murphy said.

Each dining establishment on campus offers the student varied foodchoices, reasonable prices, atmosphere and scenic views. At the south end of campus, in the Fair-haven College complex, a coffee shop on the ground floor of the administration building looks out upon acourtyard surrounded by apartment buildings. The specialty of the coffee shop is a freshly grilledhamburger. Vegetable selections from the salad bar can complete the meal. Wooden tables aresurrounded by modern art on the walls. The lighting is dim and cozy. Arntzen Hall coffee shop is in the southwest comer of that building on the ground floor. Newly built, its projected opening date is Sept. 30. This shop will offer coffee, donuts, soups and sandwiches and a view of the new South AcademicBuilding. Miller Hall coffee shop is next to Red Square plaza and Fisher Fountain. Red Square is thecrossroads of upper campus. Students stopping at Miller Hall coffee shop should try a cup of soup or asandwich. Inside the coffee shop, the atmosphere is smokey and often noisy with conversation.Seating usually is limited. Food service is cafeteria-style in the three dining halls on campus. Dining halls are located in the administration building at Fairhaven College, Ridgeway Commons and VikingCommons. Although open to all students, dining halls are primarily used by residence hall occupants.SAGA Food Services, the corporation that operates the dining halls and most eating establishments oncampus, offers several selections for each meal. Every Saturday night is steak night. The same viewis available from the fifth floor of the Viking Addition coffee shop. Mexican food is a specialty and a potato bar serves up hot, baked potatoes with condiments.

HOLLY STREET-BELLIMGHAM-676-1111 GURstobe emphasized by Tutorial Center By SETH PRESTON ~ TheTutorial Center will begin its second year on campus with an emphasis on providing student tutoringfor General University Requirements. "The quality of the Tutorial Center depends on the quality of thetutorsâ€”the heart of the matter is student-to-student relations," said Ron Johnson, AcademicAdvisement Center director. The Tutorial Center is a sub-office of Academic Advisement and falls underJohnson's jurisdictipn. The center's hours have been expanded to make it better available to studentswith heavy morning class loads. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday, instead of last year's 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The increased hours mean additionaltutors will be hired to maintain the same services offered before. Although the expansion is takingplace at a time of budget cutbacks, Johnson does not seem surprised. "Tutors are relatively cheapduring cutbacks, plus they are providing a valuable service," he said. Despite initial publicity difficulties when the center first opened, student-tutor contacts increased to 1,467 spring quarter from 941 winterquarter. "I was pleased and surprised," Johnson said. "The figures were much higher than I expected."The key element, obviously, is students' word-of-mouth. We'll expand or contract rapidly according tostudent opinionâ€” we have to keep up the quality." Johnson said the center will strive to do more of thethings it did last year, such as providing review sessions for GUR classes before tests. The center islocated in Old Main 285, and its services are free. Students are encouraged to make appointments bycalling 676-3855, but .appointments are not required. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 16 ---------- 16 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Cutbacks felt all over campus By DAVE MASON Toparaphrase Mark Twain, any rumor of Western's death would be an exaggeration. But the recent series of large cuts in the university budget has forced Western to suffer a painfully strict diet â€” a diet thathas not only cut all the fat, but also has begun to weaken the university's muscle. Western's days as agrowing institution â€” from a teachers' school to state college to a university â€” have ended. Instead ofgrowing, Western is now shrinking with some programs being consolidated while others are dropped,deans say. The Board of Trustees has directed administrators to review the university's priorities. Even if no further reductions are made in the budget â€” the latest was a $1.4 million cut this summer â€”Western will have to lose more weight during the 1983- 84 year. Faculty positions that were spared thebudget ax this year will be cut in June. 'most severe year' And 1982-83 "probably will be one of the mostsevere years in our history, much more severe than the Reduction-in-Force (cuts in faculty and staff) in1976-77," said James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Deans, however, are optimistictheir colleges â€” and Western as. a whole â€” will survive budget cuts, despite how much programs arehurt by cuts and despite the patience the cuts will require. "I don't think the university is about to bedestroyed," said Dan Lamer, dean of Fairhaven College. "We do have to be imaginative. . . We'll have toface the loss of programs." Fewer sections of courses will be offered because Western reduced thenumber of full-time faculty positions this year to 426 from 474. Some classes will be offered only once ayear, Davis said. In fact, if more positions are cut, some physical education courses may be offered onlyevery other year, said Chapelle Arnett, chairman of the physical education department. "Poly Sci 250(and 101) will be hard to get into," said Ralph Miner, chairman of the political science department.Waiting lists already have mounted for the courses, which are prerequisites for upper-division classes.Secretaries cut One change with an immediate impact is the reduction in secretarial staffâ€”by 50percent in the College of Arts and Sciences. The cut means departmental offices will be open fewer hours and several offices will be closed during the noon hour, Davis said. Students who call an office when it'sclosed will have to leave a message with an answering machine. In addition, faculty members may haveto type their own tests, allowing less time for research and helping students, two department chairmensaid. . Because of the budget diet, Western will have to endure obsolete equipment and equipment inneed of repair. "I have a drawer full of equipment requests by the faculty that I can't fulfill," said RichardMayer, dean of the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Funds don't exist to repair or replace acomputer the college has used for several years. Leaky roofs Lamer cited a hypothetical example ot anequipment problem. "The roof leaks and destroys the piano. It costs $2,000 to fix it. You do without thepiano." In the College of Arts and Sciences, 22 departments â€” some with greater needs than othersâ€” are competing for $50,000 for equipment purchase, replacement and repair. "We have so little moneyfor equipment," Davis said. "We have to pump it (much of the money) into computer technology â€”word processors and microcomputers." Pencils, books lacking Peter Elich, chairman of thepsychology department, said the department probably would get $2,000 for equipment. As much as$20,000 wouldn't be enough to bring the psychology department or any of the science departments up todate, Elich said. "There's scarcely enough money to handle material needs â€” pencils, books,periodicals, equipment," Elich said. To defray costs, the political science department now charges fourcents per page for copies of handouts. Meiner called the department's equipment budget "obsolete."The budget diet, however, could have been more severe. The College of Arts and Sciences â€” theuniversity's largest college with two-thirds of its programs â€” lost seven faculty positions this year. Itwas supposed to lose 14, but seven positions were saved by having faculty members who teach duringthe summer session not work during one quarter of the regular school year. But in June, the sevenpositions that had been spared will disappear and the college will have 14 fewer faculty members duringthe 1983-84 year than during 1981-82. This is the only school year the administration will allow summershifts to save positions. The budget cuts have hit small departments the most. In the College of Artsand Sciences, each department (regardless of its size) lost from one-half to one faculty position. Thebiology and home economics departments each lost one position. Thisyear the biology department has 16 full-time positions, meaning it had lost approximately 5 percent of its faculty. The home economics department, now with five positions, suffered approximately a 16 percent loss in faculty. "The smallerthe department, the more aggravated the cuts will be," Davis said. He noted that smaller departments(such as the journalism and speech departments) might have to be combined. After Nov. 1, thejournalism department no longer will have a full-time secretary. Larger departments are on a diet, too. In1983-84 the psychology department will have one and one-half fewer faculty positions than during 1981-82. "We'll have to drop small enrollment classes in specialty areas," Elich said. This year thedepartment dropped two seminar courses in child development and two graduate seminar classes.Western's growth took decades. Until recently, new programs and courses were common. Just 10 yearsago, the growth seemed to be unlimited. But for now, Western has to find ways to shrink with aminimum of harm to its programs. "Hope springs eternally," Davis said. He added, with a weak grin, "We never will see the golden days of the 1960s again." Acting University President James TalbotDepartments shuffled for fall By LORI McGRIFF The opening of the new South Academic Building setinto place a migration of college departments this summer that may leave some students wanderingthe halls in search of business, sociology and journalism classes. Betty Farnham of the spaceadministration office said the moves may leave students confused for awhile, but they will benefit inthe long run from the musical-chairs, approach. All departments of the College of Business andEconomics are in the South Academic Building and the speech pathology and audiology departmentsare on the ground floor. The journalism department moved from Garden Street Hall, to College Hall. TheFront now occupies the ground floor. Journalism classrooms and offices share the first and second floorswith the speech department. Student media offices, such as Klipsun, Western View and the KUGSnewsroom, are on the first floor. The third floor is reserved for speech (broadcasting) classrooms andoffices. The sociology department moved from the fifth floor of Amtzen Hall to the third floor. Theirvacated spaces will be occupied in part by the liberal studies department, which moved from the third floor of Miller Hall. The third floor of Miller Hall will be used for faculty research offices, visiting facultyoffices and an honors lounge. The faculty need the extra space, Farnham said. She cited pastproblems with finding space for visiting faculty and emeriti faculty. Garden Street Hall may be closedor torn down and the area used for a parking lot. Changes also took place in Old Main. Someadministrators were shuffled and administrative departments moved. Marvin Klein, dean of education, has relocated from Old Main 310 to Miller Hall 220E. The Old Main 300 office complex will houge generalservices, the business manager, vice president for business/financial affairs and purchasing. JamesDavis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been relocated to Old Main 375 and Old Main 360will be used as a conference room The unpacking of boxes and placement of new names on doorsshould be completed within the first couple of weeks of classes, Farnham said. Budget cuts had a bigeffect on the summer moves. Professors and administrators, with some student help, had to packtheir belongings and sweep out their offices before moving to their new, freshly painted offices, Farnhamsaid. Past moves have been done by custodial workers with more help from professional movers. â€¢The shift of departments created a supply of refuse, such as these boxes discarded outside the SouthAcademic Building. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 17 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 17 Westerns future unclear continued from page l) hallowresources.

But with theNovember election luickly approaching Quinlan says expect ng a rejection of Republican policies to becure-all to Western's financial woes ould be a certain mistake. "Change won't come automatically just)ecause we have different people in Jower," Quinlan said. "How knowledge-ible legislators are to theneeds of higher ducation is the real key." Quinlan said that Western is "preparing tu dents to take onvery complex roles in ociety "and that must be made clear to oth politicians and the public. Western'simage may indeed need to be )ushed. As Registrar Gene Omey pointed gt;ut, Washington now fundshigher educa-ion very close to the lowest level in the lation. If the public doesn't reverse this rend, Omeysaid, the results could be lisastrous. Nevertheless, many leaders at Western express confidence that asmooth transition from a time of devastating budget cuts to a new beginning as a contemporaryliberal arts college can be completed. But, says Faculty Senate President William Sailors, "Eachdepartment is going to have to justify its existence. We have to manage our destiny a little bit instead ofust drifting through the cuts." Search goes on for Western's next leader By LESLIE NICHOLS Manyfacets of the campus are undergoing changes and the shakeup extends right to the top with the search for a new president underway. r Western's presidential search committee is scheduled to submit its choices for a ew leader to the Board of Trustees next week. The board then will tackle the task ofpicking a successor by December. Search committee members have narrowed the number ofapplicants to IS and next week will present to the trustees a list of four to seven candidates from whichwill emerge a replacement for former university President Paul Olscamp. - Olscamp left Western inJuly to become president of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The 15candidates were screened for certain qualifications including administrative experience; communication skills is\ dealing with faculty, students and boards; and experience in fund raising and working withlegislators, said Peter Elich, vice-chairman of the search committee. Members of the committee now arecontacting people in the candidates' communities, as well as faculty members, studentgovernment leaders and others in order to "get a variety of different points of view," Elich said. Describing the process as "fine tuning to zero in on people," search committee student representative DarcyRoenfeldt said the purpose of calls being made to the candidates' campuses is to get peer reaction tothe person and check on leadership style and rapport with students, staff and faculty. The finalists,chosen by the Board of Trustees, will come to Western separately some time during fall quarter,Roenfeldt said. Following final interviews the trustees are expected to select a new president and make* ah gt; announcement by Christmas vacatibh'tf not by Dec. 1, Roenfeldt said. y y Â§ L sa*d key tostudent fortunes PHOTO BY GARY LINDBERG By ELAYNE ANDERSON Despite student apathy andadmnistrative roadblocks, Central Washington University and the University of Washington joined theranks of the Washington Student Lobby this summer. Recent higher education cuts of almost 20percent and the largest tuition increases ever at one time prompted students to organize in the form ofthe WSL. The WSL still is in the planning stages, with many obstacles to be hurdled. .Its proponentsand organizers, however, are hopeful it will be ready for the upcoming legislative session with a full-timelobbyist. Although the goals of the WSL have not been clearly defined, its general aim is to protect thefinancial concerns of students and higher education, in regard to tuition increases and budget axing bylegislators. Mark Murphy, Western's Associated Students president, said the goals of the WSL aretwofold. The first is to educate and influence legislators to the needs of students and to persuade them to vote favorably toward higher education. Many legislators, Murphy said, do not realize the problemsfacing students today. "The don't see why we can't go out and get a part-time job and supportourselves," Murphy said. "In many cases, going to college today is not the same as when they went.They just don't understand the problems." The second job of the WSL will be to inform studens of whatis happening to higher education in Olympia by posting the voting records of legislators and keeping anupdated bulletin board outside the AS office in the Viking Union. Murphy urged students to call or writetheir legislators and vote for those who support student interests. "Student government has always triedto have an effect in Olympia, but without the students backing them it's difficult," Murphy said. "TheWSL wants to create a more politically aware student population, and 70-80,000 votes can make adifference. Former AS President Greg Sobel, who played a major role in organizing the WSL, termed it"simply a question of power." "Students as an unorganized group were vulnerable to budget cuts andtuition increases, which grew out of our impotence in the political arena," Sobel said. "If the legislatorswill not support student interests then the students will boot him or her out." The WSL actually beganorganizing last January, although the idea was discussed as early as the spring of 1980, Sobel said. The first stage was to get at least 50 percent of the student population at each four-year institution to signpetitions supporting the WSL. The boards of trustees or regents at each school then had to approve theWSL. Western ratifeid the WSL last spring leading the *way for It earlier looked like theUW might trashthe WSL, but now the lobby is moving along strongly. other schools. Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State College are the only four-year institutions in Washington that have not ratified theWSL, having failed to complete their petitiqn drives. To ensure all signatures are valid, both schools must start over collecting signatures during fall registration. The WSL is supported solely by studentsassessing themselves $1 when paying tuition. Western will use a negative check-off system, in whichstudents not wanting to support the WSL merely mark the appropriate box on their fee billing cards.Students at Washington State University must request their dollar from the cashier if they do not want to support the WSL. The UW and Central have positive check-offs on their fee billing cards. The positivecheck-off system may cause funding problems for the WSL. Students may be less willing to exert theadded effort to donate $1, WSL organizers say. Murphy said although he would like to see at least 70percent â€¢ of the student population support the WSL with their dollars, he said 40-50 percent would be more realistic. "Times are tight," Murphy said. "I don't know how many students realize the importanceof the WSL, but I hope all who signed the petitions will donate $1." Because of the uncertainty of theamount of funding the WSL will receive, a few answers still are pending such as the size of its Olympiastaff. Murphy said petitions may have to be combined, but no decision has been made. Each schoolthat ratifies the WSL will have its own local chapter, which will send representatives to the statechapter. Although a National Student Lobby exists, the WSL has no plans to join, Murphy said.Nominations for local board members will be made in an open meeting Oct. 6, and voting will take placeOct. 13. All students who assess themselves $1 automatically become members of the WSL. TheWSL is not without potential problems. Thomas Quinlan, Western's vice president for student affairs,said he is concerned each institution and student will have their own interests, which may becounterproductive to the WSL's overall goals. Quinlan also expressed concern the WSL would try torepresent too many separate issues. "The concern I have is they will take on too much and neutralizethe impact they have," Quinlan said. Quinlan also warned that to be effective the WSL must do morethan merely say they support an issue, they must produce facts. "It is tedious research, but you need to have evidence to show legislators why they should support higher education," Quinlan said. Pointingout that Western's Board of Trustees supported the WSL from the onset, Quinlan said he sees the WSL as positive and having potential. "It (WSL) can make legislators more responsive to students andhighlight the interest and accessibility or inaccessibility of higher education," Quinlan said. The WSLalso will help educate students that a decision will be made whether they are a part of making thedecision or not Quinlan said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 18 ---------- (T Western Front Tuesday, September 21,13 ' Western computers do a lot more besides calculationsBy BARBARA SCABAROZI "Enter your student number," commands the computer terminal.

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

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

Commercial St 733-4778 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 23 ---------- Tuesday, September 21,1982 Western Front 23 Western loses opener toPLU By SCOTT FISK TheWestern Viking football team suffered its 17th consecutive loss, 39-7, at the hands of nationally ranked Pacific Lutheran University Saturday night. The season opener for both clubs, played on a dry Indiansummer evening, was in PLU's back pocket after the Lutes mounted a 20-0 lead six seconds into thesecond quarter. Ranked 6th nationally in the NAIA Division II pre-season poll, the Lutes displayedoffensive execution, which did not make the Vikings look bad â€” merely outplayed by a superior foe.The Lutes rushed for 178 yards in the first half while the Vikings managed eight. If a candle can be put inthe window of the Vikings' dim performance, it has to be the "Ummel-Handy" connection. QuarterbackEric Ummel and fourth year standout receiver Bill Handy connected for 100 yards and the lone Westerntouchdown. But had it not been for an illegal procedure call during Western's second possession,the duo could have tacked an 87-yard painfully called back touchdown pass to their total. The Vikings'scoring drive, which took seven plays for 79 yards, was Ummel- Handy all the way except for two of theyards. It was during this drive that Ummel displayed the accuracy of his slingshot arm. Umrriel,plagued by injuries his first two seasons, may have the potential to throw past his 634-yard freshmanmark. Ummel completed nine of 23 passes for ir51 yards, 10 yards short of Western's total offense. The seore, 20-7, looked like it would remain frozen until the Ijalf.ended. Western's defense stopped-PI;U;i gt;n fourth and' one, then intercepted on "PLU's' next possession. ' Viking running back JohnLocker cuts upfield. the kill. After Western failed to go anywhere with the ball, PLU took the punt with4:05 remaining and went for one last drive. With 23 seconds remaining halfback Rob Spear ran aroundleft end for a one-yard touchdown run to finish the half 26-7. The Viking defense displayed good gangtackling technique, however, with plenty of hard sticks, unlike past seasons. Unfortunately, theaggressive defense usually came after Lute running backs Rob Spear, Nick Brossoit and Jeff Fohralready had gained first downs. The PLU trio combined for 259 of the 357 total rushing yards for thegame. PLU gained 31 first downs to Western's five. Typical of most season openers, the second halfbecame a defensive battle, with neither team scoring during the third .quarter. -,.--â€¢ V ..â€¢--, gt; i ^ 'The Vikings* failed to t:omplete a drive after crossing the fifty yard line for the Pacific Lutheran Universitydefensive tackle Curt Christiansen (78) closes in for second time. The rest of the quarter was spentpunting from their own 20 yard line. By the end of the third quarter many of the estimated 2,000 fans inattendance began to leave. The Lutes scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter on sharplyexecuted drives to raise the score to 39-7. Western has not won a season opener since 1971 when itdefeated Western Oregon. The Vikings' next game is September 25, 1:30 p.m. at Linfield College inMcMinn-ville, Oregon.

Rush $1.00 Box ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 24 ---------- 24 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Spikers lose to alumni but real test to come By HEIDIFEDORE Western's Viking women's volleyball team started its season with a three games to zeroloss, but the match was "just for fun." The varsity volleyball team played against a tenacious alumnisquad on Sept. 10 in Carver Gym. The original plan was to play two out of three games for a win, but the alumni team, sprinkled with a conglomerate of past Viking talent, opted to play a few more gameswith the varsity team. The alumni team had two all-region players from recent years, one of the bestsetters in West-em's history, and the wife of a coach here at Western. These women and a few otherswarmed up only a half hour before taking on the varsity team. The varsity team has been practicingsince Aug. 30. Only one starter and three other players returned this year, leaving Coach Paul Clinton"clueless" as to the team's future. Clinton said it would be unfair to even attempt to predict the team'ssuccess because he "has nothing to go on." Jackie Nelson, this year's team captain, and Sherri McKeeare the only two â€¢players Clinton has seen in game performance. Because fewer players j returned,Clinton reduced his team by five members. The team has nine players instead of 14, the size of theteam last year. Clinton said it will take the team about t"\ gt; matches to get organized with the gamepatterns. "Once they're organized," said Clinton, "the team members will be able to play their basicskills." "Right now, they're a young team." Last year, the volleyball team competed in the Association of Interscholastic Athletics for Women, but the association has since been canceled. The team hasmoved to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The men's teams always havecompeted in the NAIA, thus deciding the change-over for the women. One of the alumni playersdescribed the Vikings' season: "It's hard to tell how the team will doâ€”both with the team being fairlynew and some of the teams-they'll compete against are unexplored by this team. "There's no way topredict." IF SCHOOL HAS TOU OUT ON A LIMB... RENT TOUR FURNITURE! RENT THREE ROOMSFROM '28.50 PER MONTH WITH PURCHASE OPTION.

Looking to start off from the last year's fast finish,Western women's soccer team again should challenge for the NCAA championship. The team has been placed among the top three for the last six seasons, winning two league titles and placing as runner-up three times. The Vikings finished their 1981 campaign by winning the University of Oregon InvitationalTournament. They defeated the host Ducks, who went on to sixth place at nationals, 2-1 in thechampionship contest. Coach Dominic Garguile's squad was 7-2-5 overall and placed third in the NCAAwith a 4-1-5 mark. The returnees for this season are All-NCSC forward Cindy Gordon, a sophomorefrom Des Moines; forward Colleen Clancy and all-league forward Paula French, both sophomores fromTacoma; midfielder Kelly O'Reilly, junior from Seattle and midfielder Karen Van Houtte, a senior also from Seattle.

Currently, Bartlett has eight women running for the Vikings.He is unsure of how many runners will be gained through recruits to compete during the season.

The film is not rated. When was the last time you rooted for the Germans in a war movie? Billed as "the otherside of World War Two," the German-made "Das Boot" is an enlightening experience to a generationwhose only previous picture of the German struggle comes in the form of U.S. war time propaganda films and "Hogans Heroes." "Das Boot" is hardly propaganda material, its characters are neither banalparodies or flag waving super heroes. The story of a U-boat crew fighting a losing battle to the British inthe Atlatic is engrossing and compelling, never moralistic or emphatic. Even at two and one-half hours,the film retains an exhausting intensity. "Das Boot" is magnificently filmed, capturing the con-finedness of 43 men trying to survive in the small submarine/boat. The battle footages of encounters KlausWennemann plays the chief engineer, Jurgen Prochnow stars as the U-boat captain and HerbertGronemeyer portrays the war correspondent who serve aboard a German U-boat in 'Das Boot.' withBritish destroyers are The most amazing aspect of audience into another man's stunning. the film is theway it draws the struggle. The viewer at various times feels claustrophobic, jubilant, saddened andalways tense. The result is a draining experience. The action, far from the usual war film fare, is neverpredictable. The plot takes enough twists to keep the viewer as unnerved as the German seamen. Thefilm is subtitled, which doesn't distract from the plot or charecters. The subtitles are easy to read and the German language adds authenticity to the picture. The characters convey the anguish, loneliness andfright of young men with the odds against themâ€”the nationalistic, "overgrown Hitler Youth leader"who awakens to the truth behind the propaganda; the German youth secretly engaged to his pregnantFrench girlfriend; and the journalist who learns the meaning of fear and destiny. The cast is uniformlysuperb, with standout performances by Herbert Gronemeyer as Lieutenant Werner and JurgenProchnow as the U-boat captain. "Das Boot," the film that made big waves in its native Germany, isbound to hit home as a strong anti-war statement, as well as a portrayal of universal struggles. The Who turn full circle on 'It's Hard' By MALCOLM LAWRENCE The Who have accomplished the impossible.Behind the back of an audience that had written them off as well as the Rolling Stones two years ago,the band has released an album just as good, if not better than,' the classic album "Who's Next." Byrevitalizing the music into a defiant blend of the thundering Who of the past with a streamlined,synthesizer-laced Who of the present to take on the future, the band has found the zealous bite itoriginally had. "It's Hard" draws many comparisons to "Who's Next" because both albums share thesame kind of excitement of a world dynamically involved with the present, but still holding onto the past.Lyrically, and in many ways musically, a feeling of evolution weaves through the songs, which arebalanced by throwaway references to God that sound trivial but keep the strength and the motivation ofthe album tightly wound. The key to this is, of course, Pete Townshend, the once and future sentinel ofrock and roll, who has finally found happiness in his family, life and music. Although world affairs havegiven the 37- year-old guitarist enough ambition to continue writing songs, Townshend has" decided to accept the fact he is getting old and takes the place of the first father of rock gracefully. Awell of advicefor both young and used-to- be-young springs from the album in a curt, but not rude style with the intentto regroup the rats now that "the piper has been found." The twelve songs that comprise "It's Hard" spinoff the vinyl fast and confident, tying together many of the loose ends that have been left for so long. Bydoing so, the band has regained its energy into a cohesive, coherent whole, which eluded it throughout the 1970s. "Athena" heralds the opening of the album. A truly happy, effervescent Who song, perhapsthe first since "Going Mobile." John Entwistle finally has managed to give his horns a rich tone without sounding brash, and uses them throughout the album with the resonant style introduced on"Quadrophenia." The tacked on lyric "she's a bomb" distinctly sounds like "she's a whore" whichwould support the theory that Townshend has fused madonna and whore into a contemporary lady,sharing the values and vices of life with one woman rather than two. Of course, maybe it is saying "she'sa bomb," and comparing the essence of life to the substance of a stereo-typical- sex symbol: beautiful,but empty. Take your pick. "Cooks County and "Eminence Front" share similarities topically, but not atall musically. The former, reducing Clash rhetoric to the phrase "People are suffering," and by etchingthe echoed beat onto the lyrics, moves grudgingly slow like the breadline it evokes. The latter drifts alilting synthesizer on top of a behemoth beat that fully illustrates what the song is saying, about peoplehiding behind their happiness when they know that something terrifying, like reality, may lurkoutside. "I've Known No War" may be the closest the band ever gets to remaking "Won't Get FooledAgain," right down to the famous Daltrey rebel yell, which this time comes out as the word WAR Thestrings that keep peeking out signify that, although a victory, any victory may be in sight, it probably willbe only a brief one. The next song, "One Life's Enough," pours on more strings than the previous song,and sketches a lovely scene as tender as the Who have ever done, then yanks it away, as war can, tohammer home.the message. "Why Did I Fall ForThat?" rings with the warmth of a Telecaster dipped in a Western-style movie and yearns to know why society (The Who included) has been so apathetic whenit's four minutes to midnight by the Armageddon clock. "The truth is," like Jimmy cursed inQuadrophenia, "we have forgotten how we used to fight." Fight as struggle, not as violence for its ownsake. Many factions of a generation are pointed to on. this album; the punks, the heavy metalers, eventhe audience that has grown up with the Who, for not living up to the rebellious stances they onceadopted, now just using them as fashions. But "Cry If You Want" tears down any notion that the bandhas become stilted as they indict themselves as well as their fans, new and old. One glance at thealbum cover defines the current Who perfectly. The easiest way to surrender to society is by degradingits monuments, no matter how modern or traditional. But by respecting them and learning about themthe creative process can become eternal rather than momentary. Art as a lathe, rather than a hammer. The Who have finally returned to their original premise; screaming at the world with the knowledge of astudent' and the gall of a punk to try to unite the audience into an aware, excited bunch. As a variation on the lyric from "Cooks County," this group is so old it has ended up where it began. A nice bit ofcyclical philosophy for the band, once so intent on dying at an early age. Meet the new Who, same asthe old Who; at last. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 28 ---------- 28 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Fall Film Schedule Quadrophenia Nov. 14 Pixote Nov. 4 Fireman's Ball Oct. 28 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Thursday Films Sept. 23 Sept. 30 Oct. 7 Oct. 14Oct. 21 Oct. 28 Nov. 4 Nov. 11 Nov. 18 Dec. 2 Voyage to Grand Tartarie Satan's Brew Rise and Fallof Louis XIV Kagemusha Kongi's Harvest Fireman's Ball Pixote Macunaima La Grande Bourgeois ASlave of Love Gallipoli Nov. 21 Saturday Films Sept. 25 Gates of Heaven Oct. 2 Cousin/Couisine Oct. 9 My Dinner With Andre Oct. 16 Rashomon Oct. 23 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 30 Nosferatu Nov. 6Seventh Seal Nov. 13 The Devils Nov. 20 Spider's Strategem Dec. 4 It Happened One Night It's aWonderful Place Sunday Films Sept. 19 Ticket to Heaven Sept. 26 Chariots of Fire Oct. 3 ExcaliberOct. 10 Neighbors Oct. 17 Mommie Dearest Oct. 24' Just a Gigolo Oct. 31 Poltergeist Nov. 7 PersonalBest Nov. 14 Quadrophenia Nov. 21 Gallipoli Nov. 28 East of Eden Splendor in the Grass Dec. 5 OnGolden Pond * * * Today! * * * Sept. 21 Star Wars (Shows at noon, 3, 6:30 and 9 p.m.) Mommie Dearest Oct. 17 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Kagemusha Oct. 14 Nosferatu Oct. 30 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 23La Grande Bourgeoise Nov. 18 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 29 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 29 Foreign films highlight fall lineup By GORDON WEEKS With the addition of a new projection system and format, the Program Commission's campus moviesystem offers students a "film goer's holiday," said Film Coordinator Andy Potter. The selection of filmsis "pretty encompassing . . . there's something for eveiyone," Potter said. "It's a gopd representation of art cinema in the last five years." . A foreign film series debuts Thursday with "Voyage to GrandTartaric" and continues weekly with such classics as "Satan's Brew," "La Grande Bourgeouis" and "Rise and Fall of Louis XIV." "Film classes are taking off on campus, and that's raised an interest in othertypes of cinema," Potter said. The Saturday series will provide a chance to see critically acclaimedfilms that are considered timeless, beginning with "Gates of Heaven" and including "My Dinner withAndre," "Cousin/Cousine," "Rashoman" and "Nosferatu." The Powerhouse Sunday series starts with the Academy Award winner for Best Picture of 1981, "Chariots of Fire." "Poltergeist," "Excaliber,"Neighbors" and "OIn Golden Pond" are a few of the box office blockbusters featured.

So'you thought selecting andpreparing your own meals was going to be a great adventure. It does present a challenge, and whilestudents have been known to survive three straight quarters of their own cooking, a few helpfulsuggestions could keep the poverty-stricken, SAGA-less scholar's taste buds from nodding off. Theinexpensive staple foods - instant potatoes, instant rice, and the granddaddy of them allâ€”Top Ramenâ€” not only are quick and easy to fix, but require the use of only one pot or pan. If you live alone noplate or bowl is required. Price variety is'another plus when purchasing these items. Boxed macaroniand cheese is a prime example, ranging from the u n p a r a l l e l e d Kraft brand (preferred two to oneby school children, we're told) to the lowly Penny Saver product (reminiscent of the paper-mache gluethe class clown would eat in third grade). By adding a couple of hot dog buns (leftover from the Fourth of July) to this leaden meal, one is bound to be satisfactorily bloated for hours. Turkey dogs and Viennasausages do wonders, and leftover macaroni can always be revitalized with a generous drowning ofketchup to make a hearty breakfast. Breakfast is the easiest meal to prepare on a meager budget,simply because most of us go without it anyway. But for the student with five minutes to spare, anything can become breakfast food. Month old bread Hopeful survivors of their own cooking, in this case PennySmart macaroni, Top Ramen on toast, and Generic beer. crusts are converted into toast, sale-pricedburritos are transformed into a hot meal, and stale donuts become. . . well, staler donuts if you don'teat them sometime. Buying meat presents a problem not only because of the cost, but alsopreparation. How many freshly uprooted 18-year-old guys do you know who can fix anything morecomplicated than frozen Banquet chicken? The idea is to walk a few paces from the mainstream meatsection to the multi-layered and multi-assorted bargain bin. Bacon ends? Fry it twice as long as regularbacon and it almost appears to have substance. Spicy, red hot sausage that no one else will buy?College folk are supposed to have iron bellies, as well as indiscriminating tastes.

Be thankful that turkeys have enough body parts to supply the less fortunate withturkey "extras." Because college students seem to be "cleaning out" their refrigerators every few days,creative "combination" dishes are all the rage: spaghetti noodles, butter and parmesan cheese; chili-franks-n-corn; "bologna I' I I loaf'â€”bologna dipped in mustard (toothpicks optional); cold popcorn withmelted cheese; and of course Top Ramen with anything. All newly invented dishes should be tested onthe neighbor's dog~and keep your paws off his Alpo meat chunks. In a town where students are knownto spend their last $5 on a half rack of brew, the quantity-not- quality rule also applies to beer selection.No one likes beer, they just get used to it - so why not get used to Rheinlander or Generic beer? Nomatter how bland generic products taste, buying them creates a warm sense of self-sacrifice. Staring ata plain, no frills package leaves an impression of irreducible back-to-basicness. This image is confirmed by the product within. When you've finally hit ground level (half a box of Bisquick and a package of splitpea soup) and you can't find any change under your sofa cushions, the last resort is the old pop-in-on-your-buddy-at- mealtime ploy. "Hi, Frank! Just dropped by to return this book I borrowed last yearand...say, what smells so delicious?" "Huh? Delicious? Oh, you must mean Fred's tuna surprise."Well, by golly, I never realized Fred was such a gourmet!" "He's not, but you can have some if youwant." "Well (laughing stupidly) I guess a little wouldn't hurt." "You obviously haven't eaten here lately..." Take heart. Most of us have mothers to nurse us back to health at the end of the quarter.

The sturdy-looking, 90-year-old red brick structure offers a variety of programs: local history and industry exhibits and collections, fine art, ethnographic artifact displays,plus concerts, lectures and tours. Designed by architect Alfred Lee, the Victorian-style building also ison the National Register of Historic Landmarks. It served the town of New Whatcomâ€”later to becomeBellinghamâ€”as City Hall until 1939. A year later the former city hall opened its doors as a museum,thanks to the efforts of the Whatcom Museum Society. The museum remained in operation until 1963when fire destroyed the central tower. The museum reopened in 1968 after the main tower was rebuilt,the exterior restored and the interior remodeled. Reconstruction was finished in 1974. The museum'sfirst floor houses five galleries used for art exhibits. The exhibits usually run for six weeks. A recentexample was the annual "Fibers Unlimited Textile Show," which featured 63 original works of fiber ortextile art. Recently, one of the more popular shows was "Kaleidoscope of Toys," shown lastChristmas season. It drew large crowds, said Public Relations Coordinator Kathy Green. Differenthistorical exhibits also can be viewed on the first floor. These shows, originated by Museum DirectorGeorge E. Thomas, generally are harder to create and therefore run longerâ€” from three to five months,Green said. Two major first floor exhibits have been "5,000 Years of Art," on loan from the MetropolitanMuseum of Art in New York City and "History of Commercial Fishing on North Puget Sound." The lattertraced fishing from traditional Indian to modern commercial methods. The newest historical exhibit wasopened during the building's 90th birthday party on Sept. 10. "Magic Boxesâ€”The Development ofHome Entertainment Machines" is a "historical look backward at music boxes, phonographs, radios and televisions," Green said. Contemporary home entertainment systems are included. The MuseumShop also is on OPENS IN SEPTEMBER AT SPECIALLY SELECTED THEATRES. Check newspapersfor theatres. the first floor where gifts, books and toys can be purchased. Up past the elaborately carved ,oak stairway is the spacious "Rotunda Room," which fills most of the second floor. The room serves as the main gallery with regular monthly concerts by the Bellingham Chamber Music Society. Otherperformnig arts acts have included ballet, one act plays, poetry readings and puppet shows. Three turn-of-the-century rooms can be found there also, which give visitors glimpses of Victorian-style living.Several permanent displays take up the museum's third story. Artifacts of the Northwest Coast Indianscan be seen, featuring woven baskets, stone and bone utensils. Here, too, the Green Gold HarvestExhibit demonstrates the history and development of local logging, utilizing artifacts, dioramas andpictures. Housed on this floor is an ornithological collection of more than 500 stuffed birds. Museumcollections include the extensive Wilbur Sandison and Darius Kinsey photographs, depicting early viewsof Whatcom County from 1890 to 1940. In addition, Indian artifacts, general history artifacts andcontemporary art objects are stored at the museum. Many organizations are affiliated with and usethe Whatcom Museum, such as the Audobon Society, bird watcher groups and garden clubs. Last year more than 12,000 school children from Skagit and Whatcom Counties passed through, listening to tourguide Richard Vanderway. Of special note to Western students is the museology training programwhere college â€¢ credit can be earned through 'work experience directed by the museum staff.

In the same motion the board resolvedto establish a Communications Council through which the three college publications, the Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy, would be funded and to which they would be responsible. The council would takeaffect Spring quarter. Under present policy the publications have been directly responsible to the Boardof Trustees through President Flora and the student publications council. However, during the pastseveral months a question has been raised about w h e r e the P u b l i c a t i o ns Council shouldreport. The College Services Council sent four separate proposals on the matter to the All-CollegeSenate Thursday. The four suggestions included reporting to the All-College Senate in two proposals,both the AS Board and College Services Council, or becoming departmentally related. According to theAS Board's motion, the Communications Council would develop a statement of policy and procedureaccording to a set of guidelines attached to the motion, and the editors of the three publications wouldbe held responsible for carrying out the policy. The AS Board would be responsible for publication policyand allocation of funds but not daily editorial decisions. The Communications Council could appeal to the All-College Senate any decisions of the AS Board which it felt were a threat to the publications. Theboard's position is that it cannot legally or morally "support a group which does not choose to be affiliated with" the Associated Students. Attending the meeting were more visitors than the board has had thisquarter. Rodger Painter, managing editor of the Western Front, said the Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility to the Publications Council, and this responsibility cannot automatically be switched toanother council. He said the AS Board would either be publishing separate publications or none at all.Rebecca Harris, AS Board member, repeatedly stated that the Associated Students cannot fund a non-AS group. Board member Joe Hann said that it is not fair to the students, the college or the communityfor publications to use space and equipment belonging to the Associated Students and not be affiliatedwith them. Publications fear that the AS Board will censure them by withdrawing funds, Harris said. BillDietrich, Publications Council member, said that they also fear censure from Flora and others, and thatfor maximum freedom they may try to initiate a subscription fee from students. An ad hoc committee ofthe publications council is currently investigating the feasibility of a subscription rate. An a l t e r n a t i v e to the Communications Council would be for publications to be under a senate council, in which casethey would no longer be a student activity, according to AS board members. The purpose of the board'saction, Harris said, is to establish publications as a student activity. Chairman Kennedy requested that a roll call vote be taken: five- board members voted for the motion, and two abstained. In response to theboard's action, Robert Thirsk, Publications Council chairman, said he didn't think the board had theauthority to dissolve the council. He said, "It's my understanding that President Flora approved the by-laws for the Publications Council. And only the college senate can change them. The board can'tarbitrarily drop the Publications Council or establish a Communications Council in lieu of it without theconsent of the Senate. The Senate is the only governing body that can do that, other than the Board ofTrustees." Council re-opens add!drop hearings The Academic Council has voted to reconsider itsdecision on implementation of the new add/drop rules. Acting chairman Joseph Crook announced March 6 as the date the council would re-open discussion on the new rules. The new add/drop rules whichwere approved last quarter by Academic Council has come under criticism because of its shortened drop period and its requirement that 80 per cent of all courses be successfully completed. The period duringwhich classes could be dropped would be limited to the first five days of the quarter by the new rules.Under current rules, classes can be dropped until the end of the sixth week. The new rules would allow a student to withdraw from a class after the drop period by taking a grade of "W" for the class. A "W"would be considered an unsuccessful completion. Grades of "F", "NP", "U" or unconverted "K", whichstands for an incomplete, would also be considered unsuccessful completions, but a "W" would not betaken into consideration in the calculation of the grade point average. It would be required, however, that 80 per cent of all courses taken be successfully completed. Failure to maintain an 80 per cent ratewould lead to academic probation and dismissal in much the same way as will failure to maintain a 2.0grade point average under existing rules. A major goal of the new add/drop rules was to cause thestudents to be responsible in the classes they register for. In Fall quarter 7,126 classes were dropped,nearly half of which were dropped too late to be added by students wishing to take the class. One side-effect of the decision to re-open hearings on the add/drop rules was the reversal of Academic Council'searly implementation of the "W" grading option. â€¢â€¢-â€¢ IT'S BLUNTED, just faking.

The self-study steering committee elected Jean Kruse as itsnew director Tuesday night. She will replace former director Harvey Stone. Kruse, former director ofHigginson and wife of the director of Nash, has been f a c i l i t a t o r of numerous self-study groups. As new director, Kruse said, "My first priority will be to get to everyone I can in the program and find outtheir feelings and . frustrations." . Kruse's second step will be to make a pamphlet, explaining s e l f - st u d y projects and presenting it to the faculty. Kruse will hold the position only five months. Even if thefederal grant is not renewed for self-study at the end of her term, Kruse wants to establish "good vibes"about the program so that it will continue. "It's a good educational process," Kruse said "and I believe it's viable." Even though it's a good Senate evaluation due soon Faculty relations major question by ALICE COLLINGWOOD A new concept in college governance for Western was born almost two years ago, andits progress will be reviewed soon. The All-College Senate had a slow childhood as it was organizingitself and learning about its constituencies. Many are only now beginning to recognize.its maturity. Thesenate was approved in principle by the Board of Trustees in June, 1971, and it is due for review at theend of two years. That review will determine whether the board will allow it to continue as it is or changeits constitution. If there is to be any question of the senate's effectiveness, some say it is likely to beaimed at the area of faculty-senate relations. Some senators believe challenges and non-cooperationfrom the faculty could undermine the senate's strength. Questions of the senate's powers in areas offaculty concernâ€”such as salary schedules, grievances and tenure and promotionâ€”have arisen sincethe senate was first formed. "The real problem is how to handle a small number of things which are notstudent concerns, REFERENCE TO SALARIES-Senate Chairman George Gerhold said the line between which matters the senate can handle and those it can't are blurred. such as faculty salary schedule,"Senator Robert Teshera of the geography faculty said. Teshera, who is also a Faculty Council member,said the question is who handles faculty affairs and how big that list is. He thinks students probably want a voice in tenure and promotion, which they would have were the senate to handle such matters, but hedoesn't believe they are, or should be, interested in deciding faculty salaries. Senate chairman GeorgeGerhold said the dividing line between which matters the senate can handle and those which it can't is a"very gray area." "This question has been' liffder debate ever since the senate was proposed," he said.Gerhold thinks one change that could be made in the constitution to clarify the senate's powers is insection 4.61. It says, in part: " . . . the Business and Finance Council shall appoint such committees asit deems appropriate to conduct its business. Among these committees there shall be appointed aWelfare Committee which shall have as its main function to develop and propose policies and schedulesfor salaries and fringe benefits throughout the College." Gerhold said union contracts cover most thingspertaining to faculty employment and this constitutional reference to salaries is a problem area. SenatorBrian Copenhaver of the general studies faculty believes the senate constitution will be approved by theBoard of Trustees if nothing intervenes between now and the time of the review. He thinks one of thethings that might intervene is a faculty vote against the senate. Knute Skinner, chairman of the FacultyCouncil, said the council may poll the faculty on the senate in conjunction with a review of whatrepresentation the faculty wants. One provision of the constitution allows the four senate constituenciesto organize themselves in any way they wish, with recognized agencies to represent and act for them.Teshera believes there are three alternatives for faculty representation: -Let the Faculty Council continueas a "limited-purpose" body. -Turn the functions over to the faculty members of the senate as a separate group. -Work through some collective bargaining agency. Senator Stanley Daugert of the philosophyfaculty, one of the original planners of the senate, said if the senate structure is finally approved as thecollege governing body by the Board of Trustees, the faculty still won't give up its powers. "The faculty isso jealous of its prerogatives that it isn't going to let the Board of Trustees tell it what to do," Daugertsaid. Teshera said he doesn't think both the senate and the Faculty Council will survive. He thinks thesenate is firmly established as the college decision-making body and will continue in existence. CollegePresident Charles J. Flora thinks the senate has been effective in doing the job it was set up to do-"bringing together -the various constituencies of the college" so problems can be discussed withmembers of all constituencies present. Copenhaver thinks some of the positive points the senate willhave when it is reviewed are its handling of such things as the Committee of Inquiry Report, administrative reorganization and the affirmative action program (for hiring women and minorities). ; "These point to aclear conception by the senate of its role in college life ana its willingness to act," he said. "The senateprovides a voice to the administration and the Board of Trustees that they are acting like they respect."Flora said the senate evaluation will be made during Spring quarter and that he does not yet have in mind any amendments that he will suggest regarding the senate structure. So far, he said, he is "pleased with the way it is developing." But Daugert expressed a note of uncertainty. "The.senate has lost somepower and has been challenged^ ignored and damned. It is hard to say how the review is going to go.''educational process, Kruse is frustrated with the way the program has been handled. Because of this,the new d i r e c t o r said that she understands the faculty's point of view. "Nobody really understandsthe procedure, or the self-study model for that matter," she said. "Not only is it a threat to their (thefaculty's) method of education, it's so sloppily handled, that it makes a bad impression," she said.About the self-study credit controversy, Kruse said, "something's got to be done about the way creditsare dished out." "We must show faculty, as individuals, what concrete results have come from self-study-we need their help," she added. Former director Harvey Stone is now program consultant, theposition he held last year. "I'm going to need him," Kruse said. "He's a very valuable person, and I'm glad he's staying on." PARKING LOT INCIDENT-Western student Steve Kirsop has been charged with thirddegree assault following a confrontation with security Feb. 4. Student charged: driving car at cop AWestern student was booked on charges of third degree assault following a Feb. 4 confrontation withsecurity in the Nash Hall parking lot. Steve Kirsop was driving a friend home early Sunday m o r n i n gwhen security patrolman, campus patrolman Dave Doughty approached his car and asked foridentification which Kirsop refused to produce. "I was dropping off a friend who lives at Nash Hall and Icould see no reason for the confrontation," he said. Then to avoid any further hassle, Kirsop said hestarted to leave the parking lot. The patrolman then stood in front of Jhe car, blocking it after it was inmotion, he said. Doughty then jumped onto the hood of the car as Kirsop was moving towards the exit,Kirsop said. T h e car t r a v e l ed approximately 50 to 60 feet when Kirsop's windshield was smashedby the patrolman's flashlight, according to Kirsop. Kirsop was "totally amazed by the whole ordeal." Heforesees a time when campus patrolmen, whose job is to issue tickets and protect campus p r o p e r ty , become police, enforcing actions that conflict with the rights of the students. He sees the incident as a "misunderstanding on the part of both sides as to who had the right to do what." Larry Daugert, aFairhaven lawyer, has taken Kirsop's case and the trial date will be set within a week. Security directorRobert G. Peterson, told the Front that no more information concerning the incident would be released at this time.

Louis Lallas, director of Western's Career Planning and Placement Center, saidthat "people who develop skills in looking for a job are much more successful" in finding one than people who don't have the skills. Job readiness includes letters of application, resumes, and interviewing skills. "In today's job market," Lallas said, "those who are landing jobs are those who can sell themselves. But . many students are unprepared in job readiness." In some cases, students have no idea what theywant and this has to be determined. Sometimes vocational tests are given and other times it's just a"matter of analyzing themselves. You cannot look for a position if you don't know what your goals are."When determining his employment needs, a student often wants a job that will fit in with his "lifestyle."The placement center provides information about companies and industries, and what kinds of jobs they offer. Unlike students in teacher education, who are usually "preparing for a specific teaching job,"students in the arts and sciences are entering a New rules stalled by Flora injunction very broad field ofemployment, Lallas said. He continued, "the basic needs" of both in job readiness "are still the same."The center provides step-by-step handouts, with detailed information, on the requirements for jobreadiness. Counselors at the center are available to explain the requirements. According to thehandouts, the first step of job readiness is writing letters of application and resumes. Letters should betypewritten on clean white SV^-by-l 1 inch paper and should be addressed to a specific person in orderto get proper attention. The first paragraph of the letter states the reason for writing to that particularcompany, and the second points" out specific qualifications of the writer. The last paragraph is aninvitation for further contact by mail or interview. Attached to the letter should be a one-page resume. Itshould include personal data (name, address, etc.), career objectives, education (since high school),scholastic and extracurricular information, employment experience, military status and date ofavailability. A resume serves many purposes. It can help a student determine and define his assets and liabilities, it can project his strongest qualifications and it Faculty Council declines collective bargainingjob The Faculty Council "declined the invitation" of College President Charles J. Flora to be consideredas a collective bargaining agent. In other action the council accepted the bid of Whatcom CountyPhysicians Service for faculty health insurance, and recommended guidelines for p u b l i s h i n ggrounds for promotion at its Feb. 15 meeting. Flora is asking all bodies on campus who are potentialcollective bargaining agents if they want to be considered for that job by the Board of Trustees. TheFaculty Council rejected the suggestion, with one member commenting 'that he "could not think of amore inappropriate body to take on this task." Welfare Committee chairman Willard Brown said that the bid of Whatcom County Physicians Service (W.C.P.S.) is $5 cheaper than the only other reasonablebid, which was offered by Blue Cross. He said that W.C.P.S. has also agreed to provide a bid for a major medical care program if enough faculty members do not want the comprehensive plan. T h e g u i d e l in e s for publication of grounds for promotion call for including the areas where the faculty memberexcelled. They specify that qualities which are evaluated as merely adequate not be listed. Thus, if aperson is promoted because of excellence in teaching, this would be noted. But if that person isevaluated as adequate in research, this would not be mentioned. The action is in response to Flora'srequest for guidelines on publication of promotions. Bach Mai fund drive raises $ 4 6 3 in B'ham A three-week fund raising-campaign in Bellingham has raised $463 for the rebuilding of Bach Mai hospital inHanoi. The drive, sponsored by the Human Rights Action Coalition (HRAC) and local Vietnam VeteransAgainst the War, is part of a nationwide campaign headed by Medical Aid for Indochina, Inc. All moneycollected goes directly to the fund for rebuilding the hospital which was destroyed by saturationbombing last December. Organizers of the drive see it as an important step toward what they call"popular responsibility." They believe U.S. citizens, as well as the government, must take an active rolein rebuilding Indochina. "The war was an act of our government with out funding and implied consent,"says Jeff Baloutine, a member of the HRAC, "We cannot abdicate total responsibility to the government for the rebuilding effort ahead. "With the Bach Mai hospital fund as the first step, people can expresstheir goodwill to the people of Vietnam by sending direct aid without depending upon the government todo everything for us." M e d i c a l Aid for Indochina,Inc., located in Cambridge, Mass., has set a $3million goal for the Bach Mai fund drive. In the first month of collecting, the American public donated$500,000.

P r o p o n e n t s of the amendment, which would grant equal, rights underthe law to all persons regardless of sex, expect it to have a hard fight in the Senate. There are 12women in the House; two voted against it. There are no women in the Senate. To bring the amendmentto a Senate vote, the Constitution and Elections Committee must pass it and then it will be put on thecalendar for a vote in the Senate. Twenty-seven states have approved the amendment to the U.S.Constitution; 38 are needed to ratify it. College President Charles Flora has granted an injunctionagainst recent decisions of the Academic Council on course withdrawal, probation and dismissal. Theaction came at Tuesday's AS Board of Directors meeting at the request of Board Chairman JimKennedy. The rules adopted by the Academic Council would require that all unwanted classes bedropped in the first five days of the quarter, and that students complete 80 per cent of quarterly andcumulative units or be issued a warning. The rules further state that if a "K" (incomplete) is not converted by the end of the following quarter, it would be counted as an unsuccessful completion. The AcademicCoordinating Commission will now review the rules. If it supports the Academic Council rules, themeasure could still go before the All-College Senate, Kennedy said. In other business, the AS Boardapproved a motion by student Linda Ballinger to establish an ad hoc committee to prepare a studentposition on faculty tenure and promotion. The committee, which is subject to review by the AS Board,will recommend policy to the Faculty Council.

Since the Food Bank was first set up in the basement ofthe Salvation Army building 18 months ago, volunteers have waged a running battle to keep the shelvesstocked with food. According to one Food Bank worker there is a crisis every month. "We've neveractually turned anyone away, but volunteers have sometimes had to go down to the store and buy foodwith their own money." Relying at the beginning on donations from churches and private citizens, thedemand for food grew to the point where the Food Bank's board of directors opted to join the SeattleNeighbors in Need, a food relief organization funded through a grant by the federal government. A monthly shipment supplies the bunk of the bank's food. According to one of the bank's coordinators, BeaTodhunter, the Food Bank served over 900 persons last c month. ^ "Every day it seems like people 3come in that have never been here k3 before. We try to give them a balanced ^ diet, but we're alwaysrunning out of lt;a things like meat, milk and eggs." aq "Some people think people just live off the FoodBank without trying to feed themselves. There are a few we feel are doing this, but most are n o t ." Each Food Bank user's name goes into a confidential file along with such information as whether or not theyreceive unemployment compensation, food stamps, social security payments, a pension, etc. and thenumber of children in the family. This is used to estimate the bank's need and keep track of who is using its services. All age groups use the Food Bank according to Todhunter.

Local churches and individuals donate food and a little money and one recentneighborhood canvassing drive, organized with the help of the Army Reserve personnel and trucks, netted 40 boxes of groceries. But the Food Bank runs out of supplies every month and this June theNeighbors in Need federal grant will run out, dperiving the bank of its major supply of food. Another bankcoordinator, JoAnne Cross, hopes for a renewal of the grant on either the state or federal level. "We'vesent letters to Jackson, Magnuson, and Meeds and we're still encouraging people to talk to theirlegislators in Olympia, but we have nothing concrete. We're the most hopeful about Magnuson; he wasresponsible for the grant in the first place. When asked if larger food drives and church contributionscould make up for the loss of Neighbors in Need support, Food Bank workers said it was possible butnot probable. Similar banks in Ferndale and Lynden operate on the contributions of the town's people and churches alone, but the larger Bellingham community doesn't seem as responsive. Todhunter thinks ifthe grant is not renewed, and local contributions fail to make up the difference, the bank will have tobegin strict inspection of all applicants and start turning some away. Suggestions to avoid this havebeen: asking each person in Bellingham to donate one dollar to the bank; asking each church inBellingham to donate five dollars per month; and organizing city-wide paper drives. The Food Bank staffis determined to provide their services to anyone who needs them. As one worker said, "We'll operateany way we can." House passes 19-year-old drinking bill (The Senate Rules Committee bottled this bill Wednesday. For the second time, by a 7-6 vote, they chose not to send it to the floor.) The bill to lower the drinking age to 19 has been approved by the Washington State House of Representatives. Themeasure passed after an amendment to the bill increased the minimum age from 18 to 19. The bill isnow before the Senate Rules Committee. Its chances of reaching the floor during the current session are considered to be favorable. On the 80-17 vote for the bill, Reps. Barney Goltz, D-Bellingham, DuaneBerentson, R-Burlington and Don Hansey, R-Bellingham, voted in favor. Only Rep. Dan Van Dyk, D-Lynden voted against it. Van Dyk explained the major question involved the rights of majority, all of which were conferred by the last session except the drinking privilege. He said he couldn't support a bill which didn't recognize that question. ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 23,1973 Western Front 5 the â€ž western front editorials...

Q19?3 6.Mrter New council isbad idea Press repression is alive and well on Western's campus. The AS Board of Directors Mondaycapped a series of threats and ultimatums to publications by resolving to create their own"Communications Council" and have it responsible for student publications. The board decided toconstruct a new council around a policy whichâ€”less than a week earlierâ€”was labeled "unworkable" by he Student Publications Council and rejected by the College Services Council. As its rationale for theaction, the board blames the Publications Council for not affiliating itself with the AS government. Theresolution to create a new council replaced an earlier board motion to cut off all funds for publications atthe end of this quarter. What the board, in its impatience, has failed to take into account is that thecurrent Publications Council is responsible to the Board of Trustees through the college president. Acouncil so established has no authority to "affiliate" itself with Associated Students or anyone else.Also, the trustees, through the president, have authorized the current Publications Council to act for thecollege as publisher of The Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy. For one faction on campus to try tosupercede that authorization and claim for itself the role of campus publisher is not only dangerous, it'sridiculous. The board of directors say they will still expect the trustees to accept legal responsibility forcollege publications, even though the trustees will have no voice in how they are structured and operated. This is extremely unlikely. Another aspect of the problem that the AS board fails to recognize is that thequestion of where publications should fit into the all-college governance structure has been sent to theAll-College Senate. Until the Senate decides where publications fit in, it would be ludicrous for thepresent Publications Council to "affiliate" itself with any group. Likewise, it is just as ridiculous for anyone Senate constituency, like AS, to decide that it will be the publications' boss and act as campuspublisher. Still more ridiculous and infantile have been the "You better play ball with us or we'll cut yourfunds" ultimatums that student government has ' been sending to the Publications Council and to thepublications staffs themselves. Another flaw in the AS thinking is in the actual implementation of the"Communications Council." Its document calls for representatives from the publications staffs, from theSenate's Faculty Caucus, the Staff Council and the administration. But until the publications matter issettled on an all-college level, it is extremely doubtful that these groups will send anyone to the ASBoard's new maverick council. The basic point that the AS Board seems to miss is that the only way toinsure a free press on campus is to so structure the publication process so that no one group can takecontrol or impose its wishes. The board's- attitude toward publications demonstrates, at best, a grossmisunderstanding of the situation, and at worst, a desire for press control ala Nixon. The directors saythey have the power to back up their action because they hold the purse strings to publications. If thisproves to be the case, then it only serves to demonstrate that it's high time the publications purse strings be placed in steadier, more responsible hands. / tbe_ western front staff EDITOR: Jack BroomMANAGING EDITOR: Rodger Painter PRODUCTION: Duff Wilson EDITORIAL PHONE 676-3161SPORTS: Howard Scott ADVERTISING PHONE 676-3160 COPY EDITORS: James Heitzman, RahnLahti, Dennis Mansker, Judy Mooers, Dennis Ritchie AD MANAGER: Richard Roff GRAPHICS: ElsiVassdal, Sue Giese BUSINESS MANAGER: Terri Whitney PHOTO EDITOR: Roberi NealePHOTOGRAPHERS: Bob McLauchlan, Thomas Schultz, Jim Thomson REPORTERS: ChristineAnderson, Scott Anderson, Rob Baldwin, Alan Bauer, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Sonja Brown, DougCockburn, Alice Collingwood, Bill Dietrich, Nicholas Gardner, Victoria Hamilton, John Harris, Bruce-Hayes, Rochelle Henderson, Heidi Henken, Tom Home, O.K.

[ letters. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Finds no 'love' in atheists Editor, Western Front: Iwas quite intrigued when I picked up a Western Front and read '"Militant Atheists' Counterattack," so Iopened my paper and found an article entitled "Atheists Organize Against Christians." Somehow whatI'd read up to this point just didn't bring visions of love and non-violence to my mind. And then, when Iread '"Our first target is the Campus Crusade for Christ'," I looked skyward to see if any bombs werefalling. I never could find the word "LOVE" in the article, yet God loves us all even if we are atheists whodon't know that He exists. Perhaps if these people would seek God's love both in the Bible and in theirhearts they would find that Christians aren't attacking them. Our goals are pretty much the same, ifpeople don't wake up to themselves they all will perish. Doug Coleman Snohomish, Wash. Hospital fee 'outrageous* Editor, Western Front: Your article in high praise of St. Luke's Emergency Facilities(Emergency center operates efficiently; Feb. 16, 1973) ignores the single largest problem. I quote fromthe article itself "The cost of emergency treatment varies at St. Luke's. A flat emergency fee ($10) andphysician's fee ($12) is charged to all patients." The writer seems to pass by this outrageous fee as if itwere nothing. An emergency center must not only be efficient, but must be economically open to all. Ifone has to weigh the question of whether or not to see medical help, then there is something horriblywrong. Dick Falkenbury Fairhaven Disruption policy puzzling Editor, Western Front: These Christianfanatics have gone too far! They dare proclaim their message in classes! So the campusâ€”studentsand administrationâ€”is up in arms over this clear and present danger. Dean McDonald emphasizes thatthese Christians are out of line and violate college policy. But, tell me this. During the past three or fouryears when disrupting, nihilist students took over parts of many class periods with their "take it over-shut it down, occupy and desecrate, talk no-violence yes, grant our non-negotiable demands, the college isirrelevant and dehumanizing, down with e v e r y t h i n g " messages the student body at Western, thecollege administration and Dean McDonald were curiously silent! Question: Where were the objectors to, usurping class time then? Why did it take the college approximately three years to announce a policyagainst class disrupters? Answer: Fear. Everybody knows you can squelch Christians without fear ofphysical retaliation. Christian students won't seize buildings, wire bombs or initiate physical violence.But how we all quaked in our shoes while those other persuaders held sway! Truth is, even, our collegeadministration dared not oppose them. But Christians? Everybody knows they're easy targets. Nobody's afraid of them! No, I'm not a Jesus freak or fanatic. I'm just a neutral student trying to understand thewhole scene, not just the easy part of it. Alan C. Greene 614 High Street Baby bibs for borrowersEditor, Western Front: Once again I must speak out against another golden shaft wielding policy whichis being perpetrated against us humble undergraduates. Keeping in mind several budget limitations, Isuggest that Wilson Library purchase baby bibs and feeding spoons. Such purchases would be more inkeeping with then-present library check-out policy' for faculty and graduate students. The present policyallows quarter privileges for graduate students and yearly for faculty. Undergraduates have only a twoweek check-out. I know personally of incidents where graduate students and faculty have received"casual" reminders and mild remonstrances for materials checked out eons ago, while someundergraduate students have been observed, figuratively speaking, to prostrate themselves beforecertain library zealots for going one day beyond the grade period. I personally have had to contactprofessors to obtain overdue material for my research which they had forgotten about in the trunk of theircar. That the library desires to. retrieve overdue material for use by others is admirable; that it allowsspecial privileges to some as an official policy is a personal affront to my sense of fair play. Thejustification for this policy is unclear. It is alleged that the faculty and graduate students seem torepresent a special class and ought to have special privileges. It is also alleged that their need touselibrary materials is seen as more "legitimate" than an undergraduate's need. Such justifications areat best highly suspect and in some cases a laughing matter. I challenge Wilson Library to offer anyjustifications for such policies. I might also add that some of the library staff has also expresseddisapproval of such a policy. I recognize that a new policy m e a n s erasing another t i m e - h o n o r e d academic institution. I'm not sure the faculty is ready for it. After all, I know some of the faculty arestill brooding over no freshmen beanies or homecoming dances.

(Kappa graffiti) The contention is enthusiastically unanimous. "Ireally like it," came from everyone interviewed about Kappa's experimental co-ed third floor. In the hall,men and women were placed in rooms at random. Each sex has two bathrooms and a resident aide.Planners intended the Kappa experiment to be modeled after similar arrangements at the University ofWashington. The experiment was to last only through Fall quarter, but it is continuing because "it turnedout really well," said Jim Mulenos, resident aide. "They don't sleep together, or anything that theadministration was afraid they would do. The reason it's a success is because they relate on a humanlevel, not on a sexual level." Reasons given for the popularity ranged from the "naturalness" of the livingconditions to being in a situation where it's easier to make friends. Roden that she experimental.

WK by ALICECOLLINGWOOD A single-engine plane sped down the runway of Bellingham Airport, climbed into the sky and took four people on an unusual field trip. They took to the air to examine the natural and man-madefeatures they so often study on maps, to bring a touch of reality to their paper world. They were students in Robert Teshera's geography 460 class, the teaching of geography. The students were learning how tomake a field trip meaningful by planning one, taking part in it and evaluating its effectiveness. Their flightplan took them from Bellingham Airport to Ladner, B.C., then east to Mission City, B.C., south to LakeWhatcom and back to the airport. Using map scales, distances and the plane's speed, the students haddetermined the time needed for each leg of the trip down to one-half minute, and the plane was only twominutes late touching down at the airport. Teshera believes such a field trip is a "vehicle" for usingdifferent types of mapsâ€”flight charts, topographical sheets and othersâ€”and translating them intoreality. He said he first realized the drawbacks to earthbound geography field trips as a graduate student on a flight from Washington to Montana. As the plan passed over the Columbia River Basin, he saw theterrain in a different light, and patterns A VIEW FROM ABOVE-Jim Smith and Robert Teshera look downat terrain surrounding Bellingham.

"I saw flying as a means oftranslating between map and real earth," he said. Jim Smith, a graduate geography student who planned the leg of the trip between Ladner and Mission City, B.C., said the main objectives of the flight were toview a big city, a couple of major river systems and farmland development. Smith, who has taughtgeography at the junior and senior high school levels for six years, said there are still a number ofgeography teachers who take the "capital city, highest mountain, main product of a country" approach toteaching geography. "They don't try to convey why the people of a region live the way they do," he said.Smith thinks this approach stems from competition among teachers to have their students get highmarks in the National Achievement Test, which asks such questions. "I want to teach them somethingthey can put to use in later lives." And part of effectively teaching geography, Teshera said, is makingfield trips mean something Â£j| to the students. p[ "The motivation for this class project is 0| recognitionof the fact that most field trips in A ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, February 23, 1973 Western Front 7 imously popular unaware that it is from the University of likeKappa's are [fused to it this way," ends that are guys and lot of things together, like skating parties andjam sessions."

Sue Bissonette, who lived in Mathes, alsolikes the presence of the opposite sex. She said that there were guys in Mathes Hall anyway. With bothsexes present, "the men check on the women's behavior and vice-versa," said Preston. About thewomen, she said, "They've got male company, so they don't have to sneak." She said that competitionamong girls for men's attention is less than on an all-girl floor. "People thought there would be pairing up," said Colleen Dinsmore, third floor's resident aide. "But it's more like a brother-sister situation." Everyinterviewee advocated more floors like Kappa's third. Shannon Point Marine Center construction begins,open to all Construction began on a $354,522 laboratory-classroom at Shannon Point Marine Centernear Anacortes, with a ground breaking ceremony last Tuesday. College President, Charles J, Flora, and the director of Shannon Point, William C. Summers of Huxley College, were among the attendingofficials. The facility will be administered by Western. Its services will be available for use by academicdepartments and cluster colleges at Western as well as by students from a consortium of statesupported colleges. - The consortium members are: Central and Eastern Washington State Colleges,Skagit Valley College and E d m o n d s and Everett Community Colleges. Students from any stateinstitution of higher education will be able to study at the facility. The laboratory-classroom building is athree-story masonry structure, with exterior walls of giant brick, reinforced concrete floors and a,red;cedar-shake roof. Shops, a receiving area, a lecture hall and wash-up facilities are to be located inthe daylight basement, with instructional laboratories and aquarium space on the first floor.

A long agenda faces the All-CollegeSenate Monday night, with items ranging from administrative reorganization to internal publications.College President Charles J. Flora gave the senate his proposal for administrative reorganization inJanuary, and a senate ad hoc committee has been working on suggested revisions. The plan calls forchanges in lines of responsibility for administrators. A College Services Council p r o p o s a l for internal communications will be presented to the senate for consideration. It calls for making FAST, the faculty and staff newsletter, the disseminator of information for faculty. This would include policy statements,agendas and minutes of meetings and actions of college agencies, as well as-the regular offerings of the newsletter. The proposal also encourages The Western Front to publish the contents of the studentactivities bulletin, which would be discontinued. The daily bulletin would be posted on all conspicuousbulletin boards and sent to the Associated Students, the Viking Union staff and academic departments. The Executive Committee will also make a recommendation for formation of a committee to review the senate. The Board of Trustees requested the review when it approved the senate in principle almost two years ago. The committee will e v a l u a t e the s e n a t e 's effectiveness and make any .recommendations for changes it thinks are necessary. A six-man committee is suggested by theExecutive Committee, composed of the heads of each of the four senate constituencies (students,faculty, administrators and staff) and two senate faculty members. The senate Committee on Councilsand Committees will present some information on the affirmative action program for hiring of women andminorities.

TO BE COMPLETED THIS FALL-An artist's sketch of what the Shannon PointMarine Center will look like when completed. Construction began this week. office-laboratories, dry labs,a darkroom and administrative offices are planned. An electrical heating system will eliminate emissions into the air at the laboratory facility. Fluorescent lighting will be installed. All structural elements willremain exposed for low maintenance and construction cost. Floors will be bare concrete with interior,walls having exposed masonry except for a portion on the second floor. There are no suspendedceilings or other cover-up materials. Shannon Point is located on 71 acres immediately west of theWashington State Ferry Terminal at Anacortes. The site contains 2,900 feet of shoreline a freshwaterpond and a forest area. The Marine Center was developed primarily for undergraduate instruction andresearch in the marine sciences. The laboratory will complement graduate-level research facilitiesoperated by the University of Washington at Friday Harbor. Attempts have been made to make the newbuilding as unobtrusive as possible. It probably will not be possible to view it from a distance, exceptfrom the air. Completion of the building is scheduled for fall of 1973. Included in the project in addition to the laboratory and classroom building are an access road, a parking area and a sea-water pumpingsystem. A small residence unit, a visitors' center and a conference center are tentatively planned forlater phases of development.

But today Allan Kaprow is happening at Western, organizing one of the participatory art forms for which he has become famous. Kaprow is a painter, sculptor, critic, designer of environment and primeinventor of the spontaneous "happening," an art form that has spread world wide and one in which he isinviting Western students to take part. The Happening blurs art and life, using t w e n t i e t h centuryjunk, creativity and environment to blend everyday experience into slightly wild activities that reflect onpeople and what they do. Kaprow's Western happening will be unique, enlisting the participation of asmany Western students as want to â€¢ volunteer into an afternoon-long event that will begin at noontoday. A discussion of the.happening will follow at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. Kaprow'sHappening is sponsored by the Continuing Symposium on the Contemporary Arts, the NationalEndowment For the Arts and the Whatcom Museum Society. Students interested in participating inKaprow's art should gather in the Viking Union Lounge at noon today. Gene Garber of the English faculty says that Kaprow will use 100 to 150 people or more. Kaprow stresses that his fluid art form is to beexperienced, not just observed. He has been studying Western and Bellingham since yesterday,deciding what form the happening will take. Teams of participants will probably be sent all overBellingham to perform their role in the production. Garber advises a sack lunch be taken by .participants. Kaprow has organized more than 100 happenings in the past, some of which have included a mockmurder and funeral, a marriage between a girl and a compact car, playing a Beatles record in arefrigerator and making a jelly sandwich out of an automobile hood. Â» A Happening called the"Courtyard" involved the erection on a 30 foot high frame mountain covered with a tarp in a hotelcourtyard. Actors on three hotel floors shouted at each other across the mountain as it erupted withblack paper balls, dishes, and pots and pans. A girl in a night gown listening to a transistor radioclimbed to the top of the mountain with considerable sensuality, followed by mock press photographerswho took pictures of the girl as she struck cheesecake poses. Then a second mountain descended fromwhere it had been suspended upside down above the courtyard. The Happening's climax came when thetwo mountain peaks joined, swallowing the girl. Kaprow has been using the debris, smells, lights, andsounds of civilization for 20 years to develop first an art that surrounded the viewer, called theEnvironment, and then his more informal and changing Happenings, set in fields, breweries, and woods.Kaprow stresses that the Happening mixes art and life, occurs only once, and makes time variable anddiscontinuous. His erasure of distinctions is reflected in that his work has been discussed in journals ofpoetry, painting, dance, architecture, music, drama, education, and in Time Magazine under "ModernLiving." Kaprow, 45, who has studied painting with Hans Hoffman and music with John Cage, is anAssociate Dean at the California Institute of the Arts. His work has been exhibited in major museums inAmerica and Europe, and he has won the Copley Foundation Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. 'The Getaway' is tasteless by DAVE PETERSON Relying on the amount of bullets fired instead of acting,"The Getaway" is a tasteless robbery thriller with McQueen and MacGraw terribly miscast. The storytakes place in Texas where recent prison p a r o l e e "Doc" McCoy (McQueen) and his wife Carol (AliMacGraw) are told to rob a bank of a huge sum or else see Doc back behind bars. T a k i n g twopeculiar henchmen to do the basics, the McCoys succeed, but one of their cohorts shoots a cop. Backat the rendezvous the remaining henchman, Rudy (Al Lettieri), attempts to take the money and run but,alas, Doc draws first and gives him five or six bullets into his bullet-proof vest. The McCoys then drive to the instigator's home, she shoots him and the dynamic duo take the money and run. From here on outSam Peckinpah's direction delights in showing the contorted features of bullet-riddled men as a line ofred marks the very methodical escape of the McCoys. Steve McQueen as Doc, the gun-slinging, wife-slapping meanie, does his best acting with his shotgun instead of his mouth or vocal chords. I guessLecture series starts Sunday A concert and lecture series titled "Sundays at Three" will be offered bythe Center for Continuing Studies beginning Sunday. The series will feature a variety of programs inmusic and the arts at 3 p.m. each Sunday, in the presentation room of Wilson Library. Sunday's offering will be "Yevtushenko: A Voice of Russia and the World." The Readers' Theatre from the University ofWashington will present selected poems, autobiographical writings, thoughts and music whichexemplify the Russian poet, Yevengney Yevtushenko. Other programs in the series will include a"lightscape" presentation combining music and visual imagery by Paul Dusenbury; a concert featuringmusic of Northern India with Zakir Hussein (son of Alia Rakha who accompanies Ravi Shankar) on theTabla Dru; and a presentation of paintings of various historical periods by Thomas Schlotterback,associate professor of art at Western, who will acquaint the audience with the character of the peoplewho lived during those times. The audience will have an opportunity to talk with the performers whilerefreshments are servedâ€”exotic teas and coffees from the Fairhaven Spice Shoppe. Admission to oneshow is $1.50 for adults and 50 cents for children. Series tickets cost $6 for adults and $1.50 for children under 12 and will only be sold prior to the first performance. all good actors lay an egg once in awhile.His dense, dull wife Carol is played terribly by Ali MacGraw to no real fault of her own abilities exceptthat she took the part. The first two words she says are, "I'm sorry," and maybe she was. Possiblynoting that the relationship between Doc and Carol was not erotic, an obscene subplot hatches on filmbetween Rudy and Fran. As far as the action of the movie is concerned this weird diversion is a flatabortion. If Peckinpah liked to direct actors as much as showing the viewer in slow motion that hisbullets, indeed, hit their target, he might find a good movie with his name on it. But this is not it.

Health department offers many community services by PATT JOHNSONMany students think the Whatcom County Health Department is synonymous with VD checkups andPlanned Parenthood. Although these are the best-known services to the college community, thedepartment offers many other diversified services. The biggest single program sponsored by the HealthDepartment at 509 Girard is immunizations. It is the community center for vaccines and overseas shots.There is a sliding fee schedule for those who can pay. This program is geared for the general populationand is open every afternoon. The fastest-growing program is the Well Child program. This programprovides examinations for babies to see that they are growing properly. Patients get routineimmunizations. Also included in the program are classes to teach mothers how to raise their children.This is a free program designed for low-income people and is held mornings by appointment. There isalso a free tuberculosis outpatient treatment clinic which includes about 1,000 patients. X-rays and drugs are administered to patients who need them.

Thesix member team will face Southern Oregon and Central. These are the only schools in the conferenceto field swim teams. The Viks will be sending four swimmers, Tom Ward, Don Williams, Bruce Johnsonand Paul Simmerly, and two divers, Robin Allen and Doug Brown. Ward, this year's captain, willprobably be swimming the 100 and 200 yd. butterfly and with the 50 yd. freestyle. Williams, along withWard, will be swimming the 100 and '200 butterfly and the 500 yd. freestyle. Johnson will swim in the100 yd. and 200 yd. backstroke and the 500 yd. freestyle. Simmerly will round off the team with the 100 and 200 yd. breaststroke and the 200 yd. individual medley. All four swimmers will enter the 400 yd.medley relay and the 800 yd. freestyle relay. Both divers will compete in the one and three metercompetition. Allen is a former Evco diving champion. which will be. fought over next week at Western.Western took second to WSU in last year's tournament and barely defeated the Cougars 53-47 in theironly meeting this season. WSU's main offensive threat is 6-5 center Jennifer Gray. Gray was out withan injury in the Viking's previous game against the Cougars and may make a big difference in tomorrow's game. A win over WSU will give the Vikings the i psychological advantage when they meet the Cougars in the regional tournament. Both teams have a good chance of making the finals since they are the twotop seeds. Central will be out to revenge its close 47-43 loss to the Viks earlier this year. The Wildcats'scrappy playing brought them back from a 21-13 halftime score to take the lead twice in the fourthquarter. "Central is always tough," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "It should be a real dog fight." Westerndestroyed Central's ho'pes for the regional championship last year by knocking the Wildcats out of thetournament in a semi-final game. Western's chances for a double victory tomorrow lie in its ability tomaintain a fast break pace. "If our running game is on neither team will be able to stop us," Goodrichsaid.

The A.S. meets in Red Square once per quarter as a way to facilitate conversation and distribute information about current A.S. issues, said David Toyer, vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs. "We're out here to show students that we are accessible," A.S. President Victor Cox said. "We're here to show there really isn't anything to hide. If students have questions following the resignations, we're Matt Anderson /The Western Front David Toyer and Michelle Yousey respond to Jennifer Brown's questions concerning Morgan Hepfer's resignation. Board reinstates Carrel to tech fee committee By Siobhan Millhouse THE WESTERN FRONT The A.S. board voted unanimously to reinstate William Carrel to the Student Technology Fee Committee and admitted that the STFC guidelines were unclear. "(Carrel's) expertise is not something that can be replaced easily," said Rafael Castaneda, A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs and STFC chair. "I've been trying to figure out what is best for the committee, what's fair and what's right." It took less than 10 minutes at Wednesday's board meeting for the board to reinstate Carrel to his previous position. The board said the verbal contract the STFC agreed do did not violate the First Amendment. A lot of work is in the STFC's future. The committee faces developing a clear set of guidelines and regulations for future STFC members. "I think that the rules of the committee in this case were very broadly applied and capricious," Carrel said. "The whole problem came out of the bylaws and a general misunderstanding," Castaneda said. Carrel said after meeting with Castaneda, prior to Wednesday, he was not certain what the outcome of the board meeting would be. "What can I say?" Carrel asked. "I'm happy, that's what I wanted all along. I just didn't See REINSTATE, page 6 By Terrill Simecki THEWESTERNFRONT ; The Associated Students board of directors appointed Cedric Bolton the new A.S. vice president for Diversity at Wednesday's board meeting. Bolton replaces former Vice President for Diversity Morgan Hepfer, who resigned from the position in February, citing a lack of support and cooperation on the board's behalf. "I feel like I have a big job ahead of me," Bolton said. "I'm happy, and I am ready to work." . The board unanimously voted in Bolton's favor. "He stood out both as someone that everyone could get along with, and his credentials were very good," said Rafael Castaneda, vice president for Academic Affairs. "He has a lot of experience dealing with people, communicating with people and he conducted himself in a professional way, and that made a big impression on a lot of the board members." The board chose Bolton, a senior majoring in general studies, over Kim Morrison, a senior, majoring in American cultural studies and Michael Tenney, a Fairhaven senior, military veteran and member of the Whatcom County Human Rights Task Force, after screening the candidates in a three-part selection process. Before the meeting, a panel consisting of A.S. President Victor Cox, Vice President of B u s i n e s s O p e r a t i o n s Michelle Yousey and Personnel Director April Uskoski interviewed the candidates and reviewed their resumes. "All three candidates were amazing," Cox said. "Their Cedric Bolton Western expansion crowds Happy Valley By Jaime Martin THE WESTERN FRONT The future impact Western will have on the Happy Valley neighborhood concerned many residents last Thursday at the Bellingham Planning and Development Commission hearing to consider the first draft of the Happy Valley Neighborhood Plan. "I don't want to sleep at Western or have my home as part of an auxiliary campus," homeowner and Western graduate student Tom Dunson said. Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Happy Valley Elementary School students await their bus ride. "It's almost as if the city of Bellingham has resigned Happy Valley to Western expansion." This concern stems from Western's interest in expanding the campus into Happy Valley, mainly through parking lots, institutional offices and a proposed storm- water treatment facility. Happy Valley encompasses 627 acres bordered by Interstate 5 to the east, Old Fairhaven Parkway to the south, an irregular line between 14th and 20th Streets to the west and Bill McDonald Parkway to the north. "Western wants to steamroll our neighborhood â€” and squeeze us out of Happy Valley," resident John Survey said. Most residents said they would like to see other Bellingham neighborhoods take some of the burden produced by Western. One resident wondered why See HAPPY VALLEY, page~6 resumes were outstanding. Their -answers. to the-questions: were great." Each candidate answered three questions in an open discussion during the board meeting: What does diversity mean to you? What do you see as the most important issues facing minorities at Western Washington University? If you were to be appointed vice president for Diversity what would be your goals for next quarter? "Cedric's experience, his initiative and his understanding of diversity was really good," Cox said.

Rescuers found them Wednesday morning because they carried a whistle that attracted the attention of a passing tug boat. The two men from Bellingham were all right when rescuers found them on Decatur Island, located on the east side of the San Juan Islands. The Coast Guard had been searching Bellingham Bay since midnight Tuesday when one man's mother reported them missing. Mayor commends police for calming Mardi Gras crowds Seattle Mayor Paul Schell said he is proud of police who controlled the crowd early Wednesday in Pioneer Square. "Fat Tuesday is no excuse for . drunken rowdiness," Schell said. Police said the use of pepper spray was justified to protect life and property. Spokesman Clem Benton said partiers threw bottles at officers when they went to help a woman who fell off a newspaper stand. Hundreds of people filled Pioneer Square streets. They were drinking at taverns and bars as part of the Mardi Gras celebration. When the crowd refused to disperse, officers fired spray and,arrested 11 people. Five officers suffered minor injuries. NATIONAL NEWS Bradley, McCain come up short on Super Tuesday Bill Bradley walked picket lines, spoke of his commitment to race relations and assailed Al Gore for past ambivalence on abortion. Still, the Democratic Party's core constituencies â€” organized labor, minorities and abortion-rights groups â€” remained loyal to the Clinton- Gore White House. After being shut out in 16 primaries and caucuses on Tuesday â€” and in Iowa and New Hampshire before that â€” Bradley described his campaign as a success, if not by the number of votes then by the strength of ideas. "We've brought core Democratic issues to the fore," Bradley told his disappointed supporters. John McCain couldn't reach enough Republicans, and Bill Bradley saw his core supporters flock to Al Gore. That was Super Tuesday in a nutshell. Texas Gov. George W. Bush rode support from Republican faithful, conservatives and the religious right to steamroll past McCain. The Arizona senator had support from much smaller groups: moderates, independents and Democrats who crossed over into the Republican primaries, according to the exit polls conducted Tuesday by Voter News Service for The Associated Press and television networks. Bush succeeded in convincing large numbers of Republican voters that McCain was not conservative enough. Nearly half the voters in New England and New York questioned McCain's conservative credentials; in other states, it was a t least one-third. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Palestinians, Israelis set to resume talks Palestinians and Israelis ended a crisis in the .peace process Wednesday by each conceding what had been a cardinal "no": Israelis allowed greater U.S. involvement, and Palestinians accepted territory not abutting Jerusalem. In a telling sign of the renewed U.S. : role, it was President Clinton's top envoy, Dennis Ross, who announced the resumption of peace talks, flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Ross, who said the peace talks would resume in Washington after the four-day Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday beginning March 16, also said the sides are committed to "work in the spirit of partnership and mutual confidence." The accelerated pace â€” aiming for the outline of a permanent agreement by May and for a full-fledged deal by Sept. 13 - was nonetheless fraught with issues that could sideline an agreement. Arafat suspended the talks early last month over an interim Israeli troop withdrawal from 6.1 percent of the West Bank. China executes senior official China executed a corrupt deputy provincial governor on Wednesday, underscoring the government's determination to end pervasive graft that has eroded support for Communist Party rule. Officials timed the execution to coincide with the country's most public political event and was followed by televised images of the official's ill-gotten gains: caches of cognac, piles of U.S. and Chinese cash, gold watches, diamond rings and a golden Buddha.

Unfortunately, one piece of the project is missing, .and Rieck thinks someone stole it. Classmate Leana Korthuis noticed the piece, a magnifying lens worth up to $400, was missing March 3. The alleged theft occurred hours before Western's Senior Industrial Design class presented senior projects at The Greenhouse in downtown Bellingham. Korthuis said she believes the piece was stolen between 2 and 4 p.m., as she and other students were setting up the exhibit. The store was open to the public. Rieck was out of town at the time of the theft. "I was just sick to my stomach," Rieck said. "It'a just sad that people don't realize all the hours and hours, energy and time (I) put into it." Rieck and Korthuis describe the piece as an abstract, aluminum magnifying glass with an acrylic lens, about four inches long. aIt was really cool and unique, - totally different than anything," Korthuis said. The object rested underneath a glass plate but was open to the hands of the public. "It's the kind of store (where)you pick up stuff and look at (it)," Rieck said. "I think people got kind of confused." Rieck's piece was among a number of projects on display at The Greenhouse, located at 1235 Cornwall Ave. "They were pleased to have a local display," said Joan Olson, manager of The Greenhouse. "There was a great turnout, (but) this kind of marred the event," Olson said. "This (theft) is not typical of our customers," Olson said. "We would have never expected it." Rieck contacted Bellingham police officer Russ Miller, who declined to comment on the case. Although the project already received a grade, Rieck said she will reconstruct the stolen lens. "The biggest problem is that it's a portfolio piece," she said. "I don't have it to show (to) future employers." "All that we're asking is that it's returned," Korthuis said. Conference will address wilderness conservation By Tiffany Campbell THE WESTERN FRONT John Miles, director for the Center of Geography and Environmental Social Sciences at Western, and John McLaughlin^ associate Huxley professor, will speak on wilderness issues at the national Northwest Wilderness Conference 2000 in Seattle March 31 to April 2. The conference will feature speakers from diverse areas of the wilderness issue, including the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service, as well as many other wilderness advocacy groups. "We have in the Northwest one of the largest concentrations of wilderness in the lower 48," Miles said. "The whole concept of wilderness is changing as well. (This conference) will help explore new conceptions of wilderness that are out there. It's important to get together and talk about it. It has implications for national forests and public lands in general." "We're trying to bring new people into the debate on wilderness," Bob Friemark of The Wilderness Society said. "We want to educate people about what's going on in the wilderness movement." The speakers will form panels that deal with issues like roadless area protection and different tactics for wilderness protection. "The wilderness movement is a very diverse movement, with individuals really adopting different strategies of how they want to be engaged and how they want the issues moved forward," Friemark said, adding that these strategies could be anything from sitting in trees to lobbying Congress. "If we had done this process years ago and based our policies on it, we wouldn't be at the salmon crisis we're at now," McLaughlin said. "Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes." The conference is open to all, and package costs range from $85 to $143, depending on meals.

The coming changes will include the construction of a new Campus Services Center, a widening of Bill McDonald up the hill from South College Way, a signalized, curving intersection at 21st Street and a 180- stall parking lot on 21st Street near campus. Construction of the roadway renovations, intersection and parking lot will begin in June and resume as fall quarter begins, said Ed Simpson, Western's Facilities project manager. "We hope to get the bulk of the messy stuff done (this summer)," Simpson said. The Campus Service Center Project is slated to begin in April 2001 and continue through spring 2002. The center will combine the relocation of the Student Health Center, campus police and the Parking and Transportation offices. The facility will sit directly across the completed intersection at Bill McDonald Parkway and 21st Street and will include basement parking for police vehicles and employees, a 30- space parking lot to the right of the complex along 21st Street and a service entrance/pedestrian walkway that will snake around the east side. Mike Smith of Zervas Group Architecture, the prime contracting outfit of the project, said the new structure will greatly increase police service and student health operations. "This will be a new command center on campus," he said. Smith added that it is the university's goal to transform Bill McDonald into a "southern gateway to the campus" by widening its car lanes and adding a five-foot bike path. A strip of native vegetation will replace the existing brush and scattered trees that line this stretch of the parkway, separating the street from a pedestrian walkway that will run alongside the Softball field. The aim, said Michael Durbin, associate project engineer for David Evans and Associates Inc., is to "try and get drivers to slow down and to create more of a sense of a pedestrian and bicycle environment." In addition, an improvement in street lighting will create a safer route for all and give more of an official entrance look to the university, Durbin said. Simpson said Western's targeted budget for the entire project is $7.4 million. The Campus Services Center's projected cost is $5.1 million and the roadway renovations, including the parking lot, will run $2.3 million. Simpson added that the Campus Services Center has been in the planning stage since 1996, and completion of the roadway planning pre-design occurred in July 1998. Happy Valley resident Dunham Gooding mentioned additional reasons for approving the renovations. "By changing the intersection to a curve with stoplights, it will de-emphasize 21st (away from Western) as a through way," he said. "One of the problems our neighborhood suffers is the fact that people transit through the neighborhood to get to the university." Citizens raised concerns at the meeting regarding the project's clearing of trees and wetlands. Durbin addressed these concerns, maintaining that a trail coming down the hill across from the 21st Street intersection will remain intact, and just one small wetland area between the street and the trail exists in the area to be renovated. Simpson stressed that native foliage will be replanted to replace whatever is destroyed in the project and the entire area around Campus Services Center will be fully landscaped. advice and equipment for the outdoors T * H *E G * R Â» E *AÂ»T ISfENTlAlI Y 2 0 1 E.

Margin is a loan, from a stockbroker, to buy stock. Federal law allows investors to borrow up to 50 percent of- the money they will need to huy a stock. If the stock costs $10,000, the investor must have $5,000. The risks of investing on margin are that an investor faces the possibility of having to sell a stock and can end up owing his or her stockbroker money. Margin is better for an investor that is going to receive the money to pay the loan off because he or she doesn't have to rely on the stock as the only collateral for the loan, said Nicholas Kaiser, director and president of Saturna Capital. "You are leveraging your account so that you can own more investment (stock)," Wallace said. Margin trading is like doubling the speed of one's car. While one can get to where he or she is going faster, if he or she crashes, the bodily harm will be twice as much. Investors that bought stock in Ogden Corporation learned how devastating a high-speed crash can be. On Aug. 17, 1999 a margin investor could have bought 100 shares of Ogden Corporation for $25 per share ($2,500). The margin loan would have been $1,250. A month later Ogden gapped down from $19.50 per share to near $14 per share. The margin investor would be required to make a margin call at $16.50. Since Ogden stock was collateral for the loan, and the price was '. dropping rapidly, the investor's stockbroker may have decided to sell Ogden to try to recover the loan. If the stockbroker had sold Ogden at $12 per share the investor would have received $1,200; the money, however, Â§jjr is Silitilipf INN' jj is â€¢mmmMtiwim mfmmsMm 30 25 20 Stock Price Ol O Ol o -* , Ogden's Daily Close â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ' â€¢ .

Â« gt;'â€¢ lt;? gt;'â€¢ would not have been enough to pay off the $1,250 margin loan. The investor would owe the stockbroker $50. In one month a margin investor would have lost $1,250 and would owe his or her stockbroker $50, for a total loss of $1,300. The investor who didn't buy on margin would have lost $675, because they would have only been able to buy 50 shares with the original $1,250. The percentage loss (54 percent) is the same for each investor, but since the margin investor had twice as much stock they took a larger loss. The margin investor then sells their stock and ended up owing money to their stockbroker. These are the two biggest risks when trading on margin. Advice on sexual, emotional health available at SHAIC resource room By Kasey Halmagyi THE WESTERN FRONT "What herb works best to help boost energy?" "Does my roommate have an eating disorder?" "I can never fall asleep at night; what will help?" Answers to health and wellness questions like these are found at the Student Health and Information Center's resource room. The resource room, located near the back of SHAIC, contains more than 500 books, pamphlets, videos and audio tapes on numerous health related topics. All of this information is available for students to check out, free of charge, for a week. "It's handy for students to have access to books for topics they are writing papers on or for personal use," Catharine Vader, SHAIC coordinator, said. "I've been to Wilson Library, and it doesn't carry a lot of the books we do." The materials in the resource room are organized by topic and have colored stickers indicating what subject they cover. Topics at the center include: emotional and mental health* sexual health, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, physical health, nutrition, fitness and eating disorders. More specific subcategories of these topics are offered at the center, such as contraception, self-help, body image and depression. "The way it's set up helps people easily find what they're looking for," said Heather Piche, lifestyle advisor at the SHAIC. The resource room also has a television and VCR for viewing videos, a computer for looking at a variety of health and wellness Web sites and a Seasonal Affective Disorder light.

"I think that maybe a meeting of all groups could possibly tie in what was not represented." Western neighbors want less development, building HAPPY VALLEY, from page 1 Western could not use the abandoned Albertson's grocery store along Old Fairhaven Parkway for a warehouse or offices. "Western will wait until the Happy Valley plan is approved before making any institutional plans," Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce said. Western has already, however, unveiled plans to widen and develop 21st Street where it meets Bill McDonald Parkway. According to Fred Wagner, chair of the Planning and Development Commission, a final Happy Valley Neighborhood Plan will not be adopted by Bellingham City Council until sometime next fall or later after the commission has provided its recommendations.

President Victor Cox said Discussion did not take place in the meeting concerning the removal of Carrel's Web site opinions. Carrel said he still has number of duplexes, such as Adrik's Place, and apartments such as the New York Apartments, also concerned residents. "People want the amount of apartments to slow â€” not because they're anti-apartments but because the area is changing in negative ways," said Donald Gooding, self-appointed liaison between the neighborhood and the city. Charlsee Sprig recently moved to Happy Valley and enjoys the diversity created by mixing low-income housing with more expensive homes and building new homes next to century- old homes which are next to apartments and small commercial pieces. "I am concerned ... by the acquisition of land to build sleazy student housing," Sprig said. Roy Flueger has lived in Happy Valley most of his 82 years. "We do get a little upset at the students, to put it mildly," Flueger said. "I take my life into my own hands every time I back out of my driveway and onto 21st Street." The rezoning of the Superstore to a larger commercial lot as well as adding commercial space across Harris Avenue drew concern from residents. "I support that little market but it's still just a beer-and-ciga-rettes store," Fleuger said. For the last year-and-a-half, residents have been meeting with city planners at Sehome High School to give their input. "We always hear from our politicians that it's our neighborhood," Survey said.

"Some friends and I were just discussing the vice president resignations," Western student David Lawrence said. "I wanted to know some more information about what was going on with that. It's been pretty helpful." Students said they were caught off guard by the controversial nature of recent A.S. events and this was a chance for them to get their own questions answered. - "I've been reading in The Front about the recent issues," Western student Erik Skoor said.

Staples was originally scheduled to perform her "A Tribute to Mahalia Jackson" concert Feb. 19, but severe snowstorms grounded her flight from Chicago, canceling the show. Only a few tickets remained unsold at show time. "After a nearly sold-out house, it was a great disappointment to find out that Mavis would not perform," Performing Arts Center Series Coordinator Tamara McDonald said. "Yet a gracious and sympathetic crowd filled the PAC anticipating that Mavis would return for a rescheduled date." T h e PAC Box Office staff will contact ticket holders by telephone to ask whether they wish to use their Feb. 19 tickets for the r e s c h e d u l e d March 31 concert or desire a refund. Ticket holders who have not yet been contacted are asked to call the PAC Box Office at (360) 650-6146 to state a preference for the ticket. R e m a i n i n g Photo courtesty of PAC tickets for the Mavis Staples will perform March 31. general public are $18 for adults, $16 for family members of Western students and $12 for students while they last. Tickets for the "student rush" can be bought anytime for $6. Box Office hours are noon to 4 p.m. Mondays and noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The Box Office will close during Western's spring break, March 17-28. Staples' concert, part of Western's Centennial Performing Arts Series' celebration of African American history month, is a tribute to the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson. "I believe that this concert will jump out for students as well as community members at large," McDonald said. Staples regards Jackson as her mentor, teacher and friend, and had the honor of inducting Jackson into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Staples, best known as the lead vocalist for The Staples Singers, had hits such as "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself and "Let's Do It Again." The Staples Singers were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Throughout her career, Staples has worked with musicians like Prince, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan and Tom Jones. Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT This band had a hit record once? In England, you say? Interesting. Award-winning Brit band Eels' new record, "Daisies of the Galaxy," is a highly derivative, uninspired effort. Lead singer E leads listeners on a journey to a galaxy that is apparently only populated by people who play organ music that could have been taken directly from the "Austin Powers" soundtrack. 'Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills.' "Daisies" is touted as the antidote to 1998's "Electro-shock Blues," an album about the deaths of E's sister and mother. Eels, essentially, are E, also known as Mark Oliver Everett. He does, however, get help on this album from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee Buffalo. Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills, championing music best described as "alt-pop." E and the boys make an album that at best could only be viewed as a vacant little diversion. With Buck and Philips assisting, one cannot help but think a lot of talent was wasted here. "During the 'Daisies' sessions I realized that we were making two different kinds of records," E said. "One loud, dark and scary; the other acoustic and positive." He apparently chose to release the latter, but the former might have been a little more interesting. While most of this album is boring and insipid, some Eels songs will invariably make it to the radio and then be played ad nauseam in the mall where girls in too-small Tommy Hilfiger T-shirts will wrestle hippy chicks with Guatemalan handbags and butterfly tattoos at the local Sam Goody for this record. The best of the lot is "Flyswatter." Although the lyrics are quite incomprehensible â€” "Field mice, head lice/spiders in the kitchen/don't think twice about whatever keeps you itching," the song is extremely catchy. In fact, listeners may find themselves humming it days after listening to it. It is, unfortunately, one of the few highlights on an otherwise dull album. "It's a sad song because none of the things in.it really happened," E said. "Daisies" hits malls in March. Order your textbooks online. Try our secure online textbook ordering system.... now faster!

By Monica Bell THE WESTERN FRONT The quality and content of the 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit can not be decided merely on the size of the art. The mixed media and various artists provide an exhibit whose merit goes way beyond the minute size of the individual pieces. "You can have a small work that has a lot of meaning and a lot of substance without having these giant pieces that sort of lose themselves in their size," said Adam Jackman, information attendant at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art. The 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit showing in the Viking Union Satellite Gallery at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art utilizes a variety of artists' styles and materials including ceramics, photography, videography, wire work, fabrics and bead work. The works displayed in the exhibit are all from regional art students and had to fit within the size limit of 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. "It seemed extraordinary to me that it was based on the size of what you submitted," said Genevieve Gonska, a graphic design major at Western. "We were looking for a diversity of media, things that fit within the guidelines ... and well-done craftsmanship," said Caroline Knebelsberger, co-coordinator of the VU Gallery and art major. Amber Strawn, the other Gallery co-coordinator said they wanted the pieces not only to be technically good but express an idea or a feeling. As coordinators of the Gallery, Strawn and Knebelsberger decide the themes for the works they wish to display, arrange publicity for the exhibits, balance the budget â€” $8000 per year for at least three shows per quarter â€” talk to the artists and physically hang and arrange the pieces in the exhibits. "A lot of the work that we encourage in shows is student work and this just provides a professional setting for the work to be seen by the public," Knebelsberger said. "It can be really hard for a student to start showing, and it's really important for students to show their artwork to start working on their resume," Strawn said. Gideon Breazeal, a senior art major, has his piece "R. Mutt Cell" displayed as a video in the exhibit. He said this piece deals mainly with a part of the art community where the characters â€” the amoebae symbolizing the collectors and dealers and bacteria representing the artists â€” are more reminiscent of a cartoon than conventional art. "It mainly deals with a section of the art world that views and uses - art as a commodity," Breazeal said. Breazeal achieved the effect of his piece by painting, scanning and manipulating watercolors in a computer to produce the final video, which he said took him about 220 hours to produce. Gonska's piece "Rot" is showing in the Small Works exhibit as well. It displays three seeds in various stages of decay. "I made this because there is something beautiful about inspecting organic things in a controlled way.... I think vagueness can be an asset, and obscurity can be interesting," Gonska said. Maggie Evans, a junior art major at Western, has a piece displayed in the exhibit composed of beads, fabric and a mirror, where the words are reflected back onto the mirror. She said the piece not only followed the requirements of her fibers class but also followed the theme of women having positive feelings and ideas about their sexuality. The premise behind one of two pieces presented by Western senior Sopheay Hun in the exhibit involved her choice to merge her double majors in art and science. She presented a piece entitled "The Microscope Series," which involves 12 prints of colonies similar to what one could find in a lab. "I grew them and cultured them and then took slides of them, and so these are the slides that I took," Hun said. The colonies are not conventional in any sense. They include feathers, safety pins, miniature light bulbs and sub-colonies of America. Admission to the 12x12x12 Small Works exhibit is free. The exhibit shows noon to 5 p.m. March 4 through April 2 "at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art's VU extension gallery. A reception is planned for 5 to 7 p.m. on March 30. Angela Smith / The Western Front Matt Hocker studies a sculpture by Ellen Peterson. by the By Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT Just when you thought the '90s were over and done with, along comes another take on the decade recently past. Veteran Bellingham actor and "self-described play- Angela Smith/The Western Front Walbeck in an act of shameless self- promotion. wright" Sean Walbeck and his local theater group ANBAHAR â€” Absolutely No Budget And Hardly Any Rehearsals â€” present "A Fistful of Walbeck." It is the accumulation of a decade of Walbeck's satirical insight on the happenings of Western, Bellingham and even a little about the world outside Whatcom County. Walbeck bills it as "a collection of short works almost like folk music but without the lucrative financial possibilities." Walbeck is a self-deprecating man with the acerbic sense of humor of Michael Moore and, when he introduces his tribute to the dramatic bit player, "There Are No Small Actors Company," the booming voice of Orson Welles. On rehearsal day, Walbeck, who describes himself as "too liberal for the times," wears a rumpled gray shirt and a brown and gold clip- on tie hanging from the collar of his shirt. He has put together a 90-minute collection of mostly comedic short pieces ranging in length from the one-line "There Are No Small Actors" renditions of dramatic classics such as the "Oresteia" and "Streetcar Named Desire" to a 15-minute play in which each character's lines consist of one word. Despite the brevity of most of the pieces, themes ranging from the aforementioned one-line plays to "Peaces," a series of interrelated monologues based on Walbeck's experience at a Gulf War protest, hold together Walbeck's sharp writing. The six individual speeches in "Peaces", united by the background of the 1991 protests at the Federal Building in Bellingham, are both funny and touching. They range from a harried teacher who unwittingly starts a riot of 5-year-olds at "The Preschool for Creative Nonviolence" to a traumatized pacifist who says, "I love my father, so I hate cap guns." The other interrelated strings are: "Transitions," which includes a poignant soliloquy on childhood disappointment at the circus, "Red Plaid Stories," a two-parter that includes "Bellingham Herald Homophobes" and a fake movie trailer about book banning and school levies that features an avenging band of banned authors. Why Red Plaid Stories? "Everybody on every side of every issue wears red plaid," he said. "It's not a distinguishing characteristic anymore." And "TAFHeads," a sort of catch-all category named after a brand of animal-headed water faucet covers. "Fistful of Walbeck" is not just short skits. It contains "The Kafka Shop," described by Walbeck as "Lit major comedy," and "Regrouping," the story of a recently divorced man arguing with his cat, a story based on the real-life experiences of one of Walbeck's good friends, a ^science fiction novelist. The best of the stand-alones is the 15-minute-long "Closing Time," a parody of the David Mamet school of "drama of the inarticulate." This play, in which each line is just one word, details the semiliterate communication of three pizza parlor workers who find they must close the restaurant early because they bought tickets for a concert on a night they should be working. "A Fistful of Walbeck" runs at the Seattle Fringe Festival for five performances at Theater Shmeater, tonight through March 18. ---------- Western Front 2000 March 10 - Page 9 ---------- March 10, 2000 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 9 Daniel Peters THE WESTERN FRONT Twist, turn, leap and throw may sound like a great play at second base, but it also applies to modern dance. The Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company won't be playing baseball at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it brings its innovative choreography to the Performing Arts Center's main stage. "Modern dance is the dance of ideas," Western dance program director Nolan Dennet said. "The idea â€” the choreography â€” is what we serve," he said. Dennet said the traveling company, based in Salt Lake City, invited him to view a regular season performance there. The company takes between eight and 12 weeks out of its season to bring its production to other cities. "Sometimes we go into a community and do one outreach and one performance," company founder Joan Woodbury said, "It depends on the sponsor." This time the sponsor is Dennet, who scheduled class, time for the six company dancers to help teach classes throughout the week including a performance for public middle and high school students. "I told them to fill it up," Dennet said of the PAC. "There will probably be 300 (people)." In addition to teaching classes and performing, the company will include three Western dancers: Andrew Anderson, Sarah Frewen and Kathy Pottratz in "Tensile Involvement" by Alwin Nikolais. The piece includes the use of 'If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off.' Nolan Dennett Dance program director eight large elastic bands suspended from the ceiling and incorporates Nikolais' signature mechanical movement. The piece is more about physical effects and not emotional depth, Dennet said, explaining how his students would overcome the obstacle of learning the piece by Saturday with only three rehearsals. "If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off," he said. Emmy Thomson, the company's associate artistic director said the company has amassed a large repertoire of choreographed works to draw from and invites its presenter to create a performance befitting the sponsor's audience. Woodbury and Shirley Ririe brought Thomson in to eventually take over the company. "They've been my teachers for 20 years," Thomson said. Thomson said she danced for five years with the company in the 80s and went on to teach dance in Minnesota until the company eventually asked her to consider taking over. Thomson said the company works hard to bring dance to everyone. "Everyone has a creative well inside them â€” if you can bring that out in a child that is troubled, it makes all the difference," she said. Dance made the difference for second-year company dancer Aaron Draper. He said he chose it and a Spanish major over three years of engineering. "At U.C. Davis (dance) was under physical education," Draper said. "So I probably took 50 dance credits while I was there." Draper said within a year of his first college dance class he was performing. "If you're a male in dance â€” it's like one in 40 â€” whenever they need a male you get that role," he said. "It's something about Bellingham," Dennet said about Western's number of male dancers. "Everywhere else I've taught there has been one guy and when he graduates you're lucky to get a replacement." The company will also perform "Wien" by Pascal Rioult. The piece is "about a society spi-raling into decadence before the holocaust," Thomson said. The dancers perform "Wien" with such intensity they can barely stand for a bow at its conclusion, Thomson said. Tickets for the performance are available at the PAC box office. Prices are $18 for adults and $12 for children and students. gt;an PetersTThe Western Front Christine Hasegawa holds a pose while Juan Carlos Claudio snaps Liberty Valentine's neck during a rehearsal. :WORKS OF THE Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Two visitors take a peak at "Spawning Ground." By Bronlea Hawkins THE WESTERN FRONT More than 70 colorful and oddly symmetrical wire sculptures dangle like pinatas from the ceiling of the Arco Exhibition Building. Thin filaments of wire seem to grow from a floor lamp glowing with eerie yellow light. A collection of "eggs" sit atop a round, sandy nest in the middle of the floor. "Un/natural World" brings 15 years of Lanny Bergner's work together in one building. Bergner's exhibit challenges the traditional nature of sculpture in both medium and presentation. Spotlighting his sculptures against the museum's black walls makes each piece seem removed from the rest of the exhibit. The disquieting techno music playing softly in the background adds to a somewhat unsettled atmosphere. In one corner, a series of nine conical, cocoon-shaped objects hangs from the ceiling, just above eye level. One nearly touches the ground; the others stop three feet short. Some are glazed with silicone with tiny, delicately placed needles circling from top to bottom. Another, "Persona III," is decorated with carpet tacks with the points facing outward, resulting in a striking resemblance to a medieval mace. In the middle of the exhibit, large amoeba-like wire sculptures hang at varying levels. Many resemble organisms one might see through a microscope; "Cold Stones," a collection of artificial rocks occupies a back, corner. Some "rocks" are pure white, others a mottled grey. Several flying saucer-like objects hover at chest level, directly behind a nest of eggs called "Spawning Ground." Wires spring like tentacles fr
