XXXI—NO. 18 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 10, 1933 Normalite TO A DEGREE TWO EXERCISED MONEY TO SPEND -By Bob Walters *• FEB: 17 ASSEMBLY IS TO FEATURE DANCER Luisa Espinel to Present Pictures from Spain Little I t should be a week of rejoicing for faculty, students and graduates of the Normal schools of the State of Washington with the new Normal degree-granting authorization tucked away in the bag. I t received the signature of Governor Martin, who had assured President Fisher of his assent and has set the day that will complete the campaign that has been carried on by Washington educators for the past ten years, and that surely means business. To make .the bill more effective, it carried by a vote in both the House and the Senate, which was nearly a complete white-washing for the opposing group... That alone must have been quite a tonic to the minds of those who have fought and fought hard for years for this measure. They deserve the fruits that come with unquestionable victory. President Fisher was jubilant at the results and he should be. Here and now we congratulate him wholeheartedly. A mere congratulation is so minute compared to the hours of effort he has put in, that • it sounds like a pin dropping in a room of fifteen riveting hammers. , // 15 something to run an institution with a minimum of friction, but it is another thing to advance its standing constantly. President Fisher has done both. W. S. N. S. Our scholastic standing is excellent at the present time; with this new angle it will add prestige to our education and that is what we want. I think all agree to that. The time has past, or at least is in the dim, backward distance, when the Normal schools of the state represented a place to pick up a few canned facts to pass on to the coming generations as the pure stuff, or for the student to put in time when unfit for anything else, in other words, just a grist-mill turning out nonthinking, non-leading, personality-minus weak-sisters of the teaching profession. Maybe we haven't turned out world-beating athletes, BUT WE "Cuadros Castizos" or little pictures from Spain and other Hispanic countries, is the theme of a program to be presented in assembly on Friday, February 17, by Luisa Espinel, a dancer and interpreter of Spanish Folk music; In addition to the repertoire of folk songs and dances of former ages, she sings the songs of Spanish moderns such as de Falla, Granados Turina and Nin. She also has a large collection of folk songs from our Southwestern states and Mexico. Program Varied Her program is built around seven groups of songs. The groups represent northern Spain, the Levant of Spain, the south of Spain, the Spanish Moors, the north t gt;f Mexico and California. For each dance she has a different costume and colorful properties, many of which have histories of their own. Honored Highly Miss Espinel has received two of the highest artistic honors accorded a recitalist: in 1928 she was sent as a special envoy of the famous Institute de las Espanas on a tour of the United States; and was assisting ar-ist at the Anniversary Festival of Chambers of Music at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. o WAA to Sponsor Four-Star Movie Philip Barry's "Animal Kingdom" Coming Next Week QUARTETTE APPEARS BEASTS TO TANGLE Costumed Les Voyageurs Group Presents Varied Music An attractive program of music is expected when the mixed quartette of "Les Voyageurs" of Vancouver, B. C, appears in assemby Tuesday, February 14. The artists will wear full dress costumes and uniforms and will present a program ranging from TUT dor Madrigalis and Palestrina to early and late Victorian music. Modern impressionistic piano selections, Dvorak and Beethovan duos modern light classics, and a selection from "The Firefly" complete the program. The madrigals will be presented in the old English style, with the singers seated at a table. The personnel includes Mr. Bates, who announces the numbers; Bettie Cross, pianist; Marion Frieze Edwards, soprano; Jane Sugden, contralto; William Beadle, tenor; and J. McAllister Wallace, bass. SHORHSITSPEAK Adult Recreation Is Subject of Talk by P. E. Teacher E Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer Will Battle (Continued on Page Two) SILLY SAM GIVEN BY DRAMA CLASS Plot Portrays Factory Life Northern England A very fine performance of the, one-act play, "Silly Sam," was presented in assembly this morning by Victor H. Hoppe's play production group. •' The plot is of a very simple and delicate nature dealing with the life of Sarah, an old woman who has spent her entire life as a common . weaver in one of the factories of northern England. Harriet Ricker-son, in this difficult role did a fine bit. of character work. Roger Chapman, characterized as the young curate, played his part in a calm and natural manner. A touching, scene was created when Silly Sam, played by Nelson Brewer arrives at the critical mo- • ment as a reprieve and saves Sarah from the poor house. Katherine Bowden, playing the role of Emma, a young weaver, did well in portraying the true meaning of friendship and sympathy between the factory workers. Roger Chapman deserves considerable praise for his directing of this successful production. ''. The play is particularly appropriate at,:'this tune bemuse of the present existing conditions among the the need of the bill not being que* : f a f l ^ r wortfcr^^ "The Animal Kingdom," a four-star picture showing at the Mount Baker theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week, will be sponsored by the W. A. A. Until Tuesday, tickets for this motion picture can be procured for 25 cents each, at the landing in front of the main door. Twenty-five percent of each admission sold by organization members will be cleared by the W. A. A. This sum will go to pay off. some of the Sinclair Island lodge debt. "The Animal Kingdom" strangely enough, has not a single animal in it. It is a clever satire on modern society. The writer of the stage pro-production, Philip Barry, gave i t this title simply because his characters show so many elemental emotions that they are fit only to be ranked in the animal kingdom. Critic Praises Show Pare Lorentz a critic of much note writes in Vanity Fair: "You could not ask for a more skillful or careful or genuinely fine production than 'The Animal Kingdom' To begin with it is by far the best study of poor little rich people Barry has written. And as Leslie Howard, William Gorgan, Ann Harding, and Myrna Loy have been secured for the leading characters, it could hardly miss being a splendid production." _ o Barefoot Schoolboy Bill Successful in Senate at Olympia The "Barefoot Schoolboy'' act, introduced to the state senate by Senator Gable, father of John and Charles Gable, attending Bellingham- Normal school, was passed by an unanimous vote of those present yesterday. The bill provides that the state bear half the running expenses of the' public schools, an increase of 30% from the percentage formerly appropriated for this purpose. The bill as passed was only amended in one respect from the one originally proposed by the senator., The only debate, was that concerning the proposed amendments,' Several phases of adult recreation will be discussed next Wednesday, night by Miss Thelma Short, women's physical education teacher, for regular broadcast Miss Short will link up with adult pastimes the activities and forms of recreation in which the women. are instructed here, showing that the Normal program of sports for girls is such as will be of use to them after graduation. She will explain the value of recreation to the students and to older people emphasizing its continued need when school attendance is a thing of the past. o SPENCER RESIGNS Tonight the wild men of the institution will meet in the big gym to tear each other limb from limb, much to the amazement or amusement of the fair young damsels and wolves of the school. The brawl will commence at 7:30 and you will be admitted to the arena for the small fee of ten cents, American money. (Canadian dough taken at the usual discount.) ' Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer will tangle in the main event for the championship of the hilltop and the privilege of staying at the girls' dormitory for six weeks— as if Brewer didn't spend most of his time there anyhow. In addition there will be four other events including Gropy Goheen and Duckem De Lancy at 140 lbs. This will be a fast bout. Cauley Flowers and Ice Berg will tangle at "Two Hearts in Waltz Time" Auditorium at 7 and 9 (Continued on Page Two) o LEAVES CITY Music Instructor Goes South Recover Health to U. of W. Regents Defer Action on Withdrawal Acceptance President M. Lyle Spencer of the University of Washington has handed his resignation to the new .board of regents. Dr. Spencer feels the board should have freedom of action at this time and that his move is for the best interests of the university. •In his resignation Dr Spencer requested that he be transferred to the English department, a position he held for a long time before taking over control of the University. The regents have not accepted the resignation and are waiting until a careful study is made. Harold B. Smith, head of the music department left by boat from Seattle Wednesday night with his wife and daughter for Palm Springs California. He will remain there until his health is better. - Palm Springs is located in the desert part of California and Mr. Smith hopes that the climate will hasten his convalescence. In the fall quarter, Mr. Smith was taken ill with slow pneumonia. His condition has improved decently, but he is not able to come back to Normal for the spring quarter as he had hoped. —'- o — STUDY TRAGEDIES M. Belle. Sperry's Classes Are to Begin Tragedies Miss Keeler Speaks on Barefoot School Boy Act over KVOS Discussing the new Barefoot School Boy act, Miss Delia Keeler, spoke over KVOS last Wednesday evening on the weekly faculty broadcast. / Miss Keeler reviewed the history of education in the state of Washington and showed the development of more satisfactory legislation in its behalf. She explained that few districts in the state are rich enough to support schools with the levies which are now permissible. Explaining the provisions and the purpose of the 1933 Barefoot Schoolboy Act, Miss keeler summarized her speech by saying: "It is the fundamental purpose of the new Barefoot Schooboy Act to fix standards for the state's and the counties' shares of the support of the common schools, and thus to preserve that equalizing principle'which has played so important a part in our educational progress; and to pass on to the children of the state their heritage; toe f ^ Members of the Shakespeare class taught by Miss M. Belle Sperry, have finished the study of Shakespeare's comedies and have begun the tragedies.

Good News From Olympia And now we've the degree bill passed! It seems impossible that the goal of so much effort has been reached. A new spirit, an undoubtedly better spirit, is saying what's to be done in the executive chambers at Olympia. Governor Martin and our friends in the legislature are to be thanked sincerely for their contribution to the improvement of the educational system of the State of Washington. But what a paradox it would be if the bill closing the three schools were to be passed. Surely a gubernatorial veto would follow the passage of such a bill. The Normal schools keep large number of people in Washington at work who would otherwise be standing in breadlines. Both the faculty and the student body of all three schools would be counted among the unemployed if the institutions should close. Washington needs its payroll. W e need our education. W e can have both! — o Assemblies Again GRANDAD DESCRIBES SPORT OF OLD DAYS Scribe Told "Muddyin"' Season Old South's Big Event Is Literary This and That Selections from Milt Gross may be all well and good for tired business men, but to present vaudeville "gags" to future teachers is an insult to the profession and a slap in th face to those present. Townsfolk who attended must have taken home very complimentary stories to the rest of the people in Bellingham concerning the excellence of our assembly programs and the intellectual level of entertainment designed to amuse those who will teach their children. Money could be saved in the school by. giving assemblies entirely over to clubs and organizations such as Mr. Hoppe's speech and play-production classes, the Drama club, and others, presenting programs of their own talent. The experience to the participating students would be of great value to them, and certainly programs superior to that of last Tuesday would be seen. The students are to be compli-mnted on the civility they showed the contralto. Not an uncouth razz-berry shook the sickly stillness after her selections. No one laughed. No one even left. There was only silence, and the impoliteness shown Prsident Fisher's slip-of-the-lip in a late assembly was redeemed. Pitying adults heard Jeannette Gause sing in the assembly, not unsympathetic children. _ o -. Bad Driveways Grandad, a rather hard and lean old Texan, who still chews snoose, and plays dominoes and in many other ways harks back to the "good old days," likes to tell about all t he pleasures he used to enjoy years ago. I like to listen to him, especially as he talks about "muddyin' ". Everyone goes "muddyin" ", for the day set for that activity is just as much a holiday for the people of the community as is the Fourth' of July, Pioneer's day or June Teenth* All available draft animals are rounded up to accompany the picnickers and when the party reaches the hunting ground—a slow-moving, shallow stream—the day's fun begins. "Poor Whites" Appreciate Holiday The recreation is not the kind of pleasure enjoyed by people who consider play a regular part of every day's program. I t is t he long-looked-for fun-fest that only hard-working "poor white" cotton farmers can appreciate. The atmosphere of the occasion is one of relaxation and intense enjoyment—a getting away for a time from the routine and t he drudgery of the back-breaking and soul-killing toil of the farms. "There is a fish-fry on today! Though tomorrow we may be working like "niggers" there's a fish-fry on "today!" Fish Are Caught with Mules and Clubs While the women and old men watch the festivities from the river bank or make the necessary preparations for lunch the boys and younger men begin to "fish." A few of them mount mules and wade them into the deep pools where the yellow "cats" are to be found, while another group of fishermen wade barelegged out into the middle of the streams with clubs. The water soon gets considerable "muddied" and the "cats" begin coming up for air. When a fish appears on the surface a fisherman clubs him, throws him up on the bank and then looks around for more victims. Occasionally a disturbed water moccasin makes the fishing more interesting and exciting. Smell Those Catfish Fryin' While the fish are being caught the women clean them and make ready for the picnic. Small boys and girls play on a swing made by. nature: a trailing grapevine. Others climb slippery elms and ride them to the ground A baby plays on a blanket under its mother's Watchful eye. (Centipedes and stinging lizards are sometimes met with in the grass.) Everyone is happy and many are singing. Why shouldn't they sing and be gay! Isn't "muddyin' " the most fun imaginable, outside that described in novels, and isn't the smell of frying catfish wonderful? The fish-fry days are gone now, for "muddyin' "has been made unlawful because it threatened to seriously deplete the number of fish in southern- rivers and creeks, but the twinkle in grandad's eye says he will always remember those "good old days" with joy. *June 19, celebrated by the southern negroes as the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The early watermelons are just getting ripe at this time of the year. o Last week John Galsworthy, the last of the Victorian writers, and winner of the 1931 Nobel prize, died at the age of sixty-six. Galsworthy was born in Surrey, England, and was educated at Harrow and Oxford. He was admitted to the bar in 1890, but he thoroughly hated law. •":',''. He was of independent means.and for several years after he gave up his law practice he~ traveled widely and read a great deal. On one of his voyages he met Joseph Conrad and formed a fast friendship with him. Conrad had-begun to write, and he showed Galsworthy a manuscript. The latter recognized the worth of the work and advised Conrad to devote himself to writing. Thus another great author was launched on his career. -Galsworthy himself had no idea of becoming a writer, but he was encouraged to try. He was twenty-eight when he began, and he said of his first tales, "They had every4 fault." i n 1903 he commenced "A Man of Property," the frst of the Forsyte series, which occupied twenty-six years of his life and followed the Forsyte family through three generations. . . .' .• He wrote his manuscripts rapidly in a bold .hand. He corrected them extensively, making them always untidy. Galsworthy never made scenarios for his plays or outlines for his novels, and never quite knew how they were going to work out. He did not write under pressure of necessity, but waited for inspiration. In 1930 Galsworthy announced the last of the Forsyte series. "One can't keep on with that sort of thing indefinitely, especially after one has killed one's principal character." The novels "Maid in Waiting" and "Flowering Wilderness" begin the story of another family. "It may continue on to be another saga. One never knows," was Mr. Galsworthy's comment.

Evidence that Miss Catlin's work is appreciated in her community is the fact that her school has steadily grown larger. She began by teach ing the three children of two families in their homes, but when more and more mothers began sending their children to her, Miss Catlin found it necessary to look about for a new home. In the basement of a public library she now meets daily with her nine primary-grade children while well-informed and well-educated mothers instruct the pupils of the intermediate and upper grades. In addition to the usual academic subjects music, dramatics, and French are also taught. Not long ago Elizabeth Hopper, Director of the Appointment Bureau, received a letter from Miss Catlin in regard to the experiment she is undertaking at Longview. If optimism is an augury of success, then much is to be expected of Miss Catlin in the future. o STUDENTS HAVE FLU This week's list of illnesses from the nurse's office show that flu is still the main cause of absence. Jerry Robinson, Victor Iverson, Sister Mary Michael, Ann Prendergast Mrs. Corrine Longwood and Homer Siler have been out of school because of various forms of influenza.

SILL IS HIGH POINT GETTER VikingTs in Final Showing Before Local Normal Fans I n their last home game of the season, the Viking basketball team ras no match for a swift-passing, sure-shooting Ellensburg quintet and were defeated 42 to 29. The contest was played last Wednesday on the Whatcom floor. Wildcat Defense Good The Wildcats presented a close-checking defense and a puzzling offense which worked with perfect smoothness. The eastern hoopmen featured the'game with sensational floor shots coupled with their center system of "feeding" to the scorers under the basket. Ellensburg Takes Lead Ellensburg jumped into a quick lead and ran the score up to 12-2. Bellingham retaliated however with Rork Moser, Nolte, and Clint Mc- Beath doing the work to make the score 10-7. Ellensburg looped a long one as did Malcolm McBeath for the local five. The easter^i team came back to sink two more beautiful shots which were immediately followed by a field goal by Moser. The Wildcats made two more baskets to run the score to 20-11 as the half ended. Wildcats Open Up Rork opened the second round by scoring for Bellingham. Ellensburg looped a field goal. Clint McBeath also scored. The Wildcat retaliated with another goal, followed by foul shots by M. McBeath, C. McBeath, Nolte, and a free throw by Ellensburg, to run the score to 25- 18. The eastern boys got hot and sank three field goals in rapid succession Rork counted for the Vikings, followed by three more long ones and a foul shot by Ellensburg. Score 38-20 Moser made good on a free throw and C. McBeath swished the cords for a long one. Nolte connected a foul shot to make the score board read 38-24. The Wildcats repeated, as did McNeill with a field goal, and Moser with a foul shot. The eastern hoopmen sank their last field goal. Rork closed the game with a goal for Bellingham. Score 42-29.

This season's Inter-school hoop league is about the most gore-thirsty regiment of fat rascals that the school has witnessed in years. It looks like the former Baron, Charles Gable and his Garden Terrace crooners have a strangle-hold on the championship cup (Mrs. Baughman says that any of the boys can down three in a row without cream or sugar). Oh, well, we can't all be presidents, so just take it with a grain of sugar and a drop of milk, it's better that way anyhow. The boys' play basketball under the title of Viking Manor but that's alright. Folks, you missed the biggest game of the season the other day when the Varsity and the JayVees held an afternoon turnout 'at the Sandison Studios. It looked like a little posing act for General Motors and Chevrolet radiator caps but they tell me it's the Klipsun fad. * * *__.* * Jimmy Phelan returns to U. of W. to lead the pigskin enthusiasts and has he high hopes for the Huskies in 1933.

Miss Kangley spoke of the "psychological approach" to be used in writing applications pointing out that the job-seeker should give the impression that he is fitted for the position offered. "An easy conversational but business-like and direct Coach Sam Carver says that with the first track meet scheduled with Ellensburg on April 29, the cinder turnouts will get earnestly under way next month. The last game on the basketball schedule will be played next week, and with the advent of good weather, the more eager boys will be out on the track the following week going thru their limbering-up paces. It's no secret that right now, the prospects for a high class squad of cinder artists have never been any brighter. This quarter there is a wealth of veteran, material in the school, and most of the men plan to return in the Spring. Sprinters Hot In the sprints, Normal will have Schilaty the best century man in the minor colleges of the state, and Chuck Thomas, who can usually be" counted on to finish a race in the one of the point-winning places. Prospects are not too bright in the middle distance runs but Johnny Stiger, Bob Hall, Bob Becken and Johnny Christy will be on hand while Albee, the county high school half-mile champion from Whatcom, will give the veterans a little competition. Topped by Johnny Gable, trinomial champion the Vikings will have a quartet of nifty broad jumpers which will include Howard Was-ley, Lee Williams and Dutch McBeath, a newcomer who will also see action in high jumping. Pearl, a classy broad-jumper from Lynden, is also figured on in this event. Pole-Vaulters Good Davey Jones and Posey Flowers can be counted on to take two places in the pole-vault against almost any competition that we shall encounter. Normal will be short on hurdle artists but Sam has received word that Jim Davis one of the very best hurdle men Normal has had in recent years, is contemplating returning to school next quarter Lew Lovegren, Brink Brinkman and Jo Johanhsen, a letterman in the mile who has sent word that he will probably come back, will be on hand to give the Vikings some high-powered materials in the distance runs. Many Javelin Throwers In the throwing division of the field events such potent performers as Berg, in the weights and javelin. Kemphaus, a last year's spear-tos-ser, and Temple who formerly threw the javelin at C. P. S., will aid Normal in gathering in the points. All of these boys, added to new men who are in school but of unknown quality, should develop into the formation of a first-class track team. '.Ah3:Nikfi Non-Run Stockings Without the Mesh!

But the 6ther' lt;lay while going through my wallet I discovered an oldN American Weekly neatly crumpled in behind my driver's license. Thumbing hurriedly through the 26-page edition I was ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ K ^ ^ P ! ^ K i p S H ^ startled to see an article by a ^ ^ ^ w s ^ , , , * : H i ,,v,:,,,.,, gt;m,sss^™« "Well-khown professor in the east who says "that the eyes are gradually growing closer together and that some day there will be just one big eye in the middle of our face. v I wonder just what provision President Roosevelt is making against this national catastrophe. I think my eyes have started to move in already. But I bet mine never do grow together. They will probably just close in enough to touch at the corners and then stop. One would get quite a jolt to wake tip some morning and, putting on his glasses, discover that they w;ere useless because he had only one eye. Glasses cost money. But I" guess it won't happen for awhile yet. "Countless Ages" is the way the professor times it. So that lets all of us over 19 out of the fun. The other facial features are going to be shifted around somewhat. The large eye will not be in the center of the forehead like you thought—nnaa-nnaa-nnaa. It will be right in the middle of the physiognomy. The facial contours hitherto below the eyes will be compressed into the small space between the eye and the r chin. I don't know where you will wear your ears. Maybe they will be detachable and the stylists in Hollywood and Paris will dictate each year where they are to be worn. No provision is made for those who wear moustaches. I suppose they will wear them on their forehead or the back of their neck. This calls for quite a readjustment of our present idea as to just what constitutes a face. I think we had better just drop the word face and name it something else. But if it ever happens just keep a stiff upper lip—providing you have an upper lip left. V V • CAMPUS DAY just to change the subject {you should, change subjects eoery 1,000 miles for the best mileage) we will revive campus day. All in all (silly expression) it was very successful despite the menacing Weather. About the only ones who didnt fall into the lake or gel wet were the lifeguards. The sound system installed with the loudspeakers blaring at you from trees and rooftops Was a aery pleasing and should-be-done-oftener idea. But with all the fun I'm glad' it's past so I can start recuperating for next year's Campus day. Vet of Deep Sea Diving Tells Further of Work By Phillips Captain Art Hook, veteran deep sea diver and former navy officer, leaned on the door of his car after the assembly Friday, as he continued discussing his experiences. "Narrow escapes? How was I to know if they were narrow or not? One has no way of telling how close he came to slipping over a cliff. I came up, that's all I know." This was the way Captain Hook replied to the question asked of every man or woman who works in a dangerous position. "I started diving when two girls drowned in Lake Whatcom," said Captain Hook. "Recovered their bodies and I've been diving ever since, except for the time I spent in the navy during the war. At present I work for myself; going to Alaska each summer and working there, for the fisheries and for private individuals." Captain Hook, speaking quickly as he did in assembly, said, "Why, in the forty minutes they gave me here I was just getting started. I could go on for hours telling of my experiences. You can't tell of 20 years diving experiences in one or in five." "Yes, you can kill octopi by hand if you know how," replied Captain Hook to that query. "By grabbing the eyes with two fingers and then pushing you can generally kill them—if they don't get you first. Octopi are dangerous and there are many right here in our own waters. One doesn't need to be too scared, but one should be careful." Hook, of less than average height but very powerfully built, is a Bellingham man, having attended the Campus school here at WWC and also having been prominent on the Bellingham waterfront as its first harbor master. "I also was the first newsboy and the first motorcycle cop in Bellingham," said Hook, as he mentioned his town life. Students Voice Opinion On U. S. And Its Participation In War By JOE BELDON, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, May 16.—As Europe's war spreads to new fronts, observers are pointing to increasing possibilities of the U. S. being involved. In the opinion of American college students, many of whom are of fighting age, what are the conditions under which the U. S. should join the Allies against Germany? Interviewers in scores of campuses have asked that question in' a Student Opinion Surveys sampling. The^ results, exclusive to the WWColIegian and other member newspapers, show definitely that the American collegian has not changed his mind, is still much opposed to rushing into the conflict. A good majority—two to one—may be included in two camps: Those who believe we should not join at all; those who would have us fight only in case the U. S. is actually threatened with an invasion. The largest group of students, one-third of the entire enrollment, would keep our armies at home and fight only if an enemy attacked on this side of the Atlantic. The smallest group registered in the poll, 2 per cent, represents the students who believe the Lf. S should join the Allies at once. Following are the complete national tabulations: Under what conditions do you believe the V. S. should Join the Allies against Germany? t. Only if there is actual threat of the U. S. being . invaded -. ....... 33% 2. U. S. should not join _ 31 3. Only if there is actual threat of any American: nation being invaded _ 15 4.

No opinion ._ 4 Those are the opinions of students after the German invasion of Scandinavia. Recent allied failures in Norway may have changed attitudes to some extent, but the trend as the war has progressed has been more and more against the U S. entering the conflict. Six months ago a Surveys poll pointed out that 36 per cent approved of sending troops against Germany if the Allies appeared to be losing. Nov only JO VOL XXXVI.—NO. 31 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday,. May 17, 194CB SHIERS, JUNKIN/MONSON WIN ASB POSTS Haggard Names Faculty Five To Talk Jobs Revamping of Student Rules Of Employment Due lii Faculty Committee Meet President Haggard has announced the organization of a faculty committee to consider the revamping of employment standards here at WWC. The present requirements of student employees were first put into operation in 1933 but since then conditions have changed. It is the aim of the newly-appointed committee to change these requirements to better fit the present situation. The committee will be composed of Loye McGee, Miss Florence Johnson, Dr. C. C. TJpshall, Miss Ethel Church and Dr. Merle Kuder. Employment Big Issue That this is a big issue in the college administration, can be seen from the fact that 200 students are employed by WWC. This group comprises one-quarter of the student body and its yearly income amounts to $30,000. Of these jobs 82 are NYA. Committee Has Three Objectives The committee has three prime objectives before it in the effort to improve student employment. It will strive to provide all the employment opportunities possible, thus establishing the necessity for scholastic standards. The required grade point average at present is 2.35. Employment will be given only to regularly enrolled students. A re-examination of the concentration of work will be made in order to break up job monopoly and thus spread the employment over the greatest possible area. Choir Appears In Assembly Both assemblies ? for next week will be presented by the students of WWC. Tuesday, the a Cappella choir, under the direction of Nils Boson, will offer a concert, while on Friday the assembly hour will be taken up by the meetings of the Womens league and the Norsemen's club. The program of the a Cappella choir will be as follows: "Salutation," (Jacobsen); "Bless the Lord," (Ippolitoff-Ivanoff); The Nightingale," (Tschalkowski); "Where'er You Walk," from "Semele," (Handel), Kenneth Johnson, tenor; "Night," (Noble); "Misty Moon," (Lutkin); "John Peel," and english hunting song, (Andrews); Noon and Night," (Hawley) and "Passing By," (Purcell) Douglas Bird, baritone; "Tuoni," (Sibelius with soloist; "The Great Angelis Host," (Grieg); "Come Again, Sweet Love Doth Now Invite," an English air, (Lutkin) with soloist; "The Old Woman," an English airr (Davis); O, Can Ye Sed Cushions?", a scotch cradle song, (Bantock); Shoot False Love, I Care Not,' "The White and Blue," Geraldine Gildersleeve will accompany the choir.

H. Hoppe Takes Directorship, For Anderson's Drama; College Students Fill Roles "The finest poetic drama ever written by an American." Thus the critics term Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset," to be produced by the Bellingham Theater Guild May 29, 30, 31, and June 1. Hope To Direct Presented under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, WWC drama coach, and staged by Glenmore Jones, the play brings to the stage in important roles such familiar guildsmen as J. Marshall Bacon, Alice Benn, Victor Hoppe, Norman R. Burchette, and Cleon Butz. Dr. Jack C. Cotton, of the college speech department, will make his Guild debut in an important role. WWC Students Cast This nuclear cast will be supported by a group of eighteen, among whom are Glenmore Jones, Alva Potter, Mary Lou Plumb, Ronald Jones, Ronald Lund, and Norbert Cormier, the latter from WWC. This play is considered by many to be Maxwell Anderson's greatest triumph, and has been presented on both the stage and screen for several years. Its plot revolves about the conviction of the young man, "Mio" played by Cleon Butz, that his father is innocent of a crime of which he has been accused. Gripping, dramatic scenes and fine stage settings characterize the play as it is written, and the Theatre Guild intends to include all of them.

The plan seems to echo a popular conception that the poor allies are being molested by a big, bad bully named Hitler. The last victim of such sweet phrases is now dodging Nazi invaders somewhere in Holland. If beaten Hitler will probably live to see another occupant fill his shoes and climb into allied hair just as the eighty-three-year-old ex-Kaiser is seeing the Austrian paperhanger do today. Wilhelm, the old man-with-out- a-country, is a living example of an assumption that it is not the man Hitler that is wrong with Europe or Germany but existing resource and population conditions that are effervescing into a froth of militaristic madness and murder. As one observer has said Adolf is but a pimple on the face of Europe. If he is removed another will rise to take his place. An anonymous allegory to today's European situation is the one likening the entire mess to a boy with a toothache. Picture the Teutonic nation as the boy and the dictator as an ulcerated molar. Obviously a mere slap on the face and physical punishment cannot remove the ache and neither can the slapping down of Adolf Hitler remove the underlying causes of the frequent European strife. If the tooth be merely extracted, a nickel given to lessen the pain, and the cause for its decay left unmolested another ulcerated bicuspid will even tually take its place. Just so if Adolf Hitler be extracted and a million American dollars be given for his extraction another maniacal leader will fester into a dictatorship. As long as England and her allies tell the teeth to take care of themselves while they allegorically exist aplenty on the candies and goodies of the economic and populative suppression of their lessers, the world can expect the teeth to decay and give rise to ungodly pain that will become so great that even extraction and proper care will come too late to save the face of European civilization. The allegorical sore teeth are wrong, these candies and goodies are wrong and WAR IS HELL. Let's have none of it. Preservation in^Good Spirits .Much has been written and spoken concerning the tendency of some college students to raise their spirits with spirits. Perhaps the most pertinent idea on this question is the anonymous observation: "Not many college minds are important enough to be preserved in alcohol." It s The Adding Machine That Counts The staff work on last week's paper marked one of the biggest tasks the Collegian has accomplished in the many years of the college's existence. There have been six-page papers before, but never before have there been 6,250 of them. Mathematically here is how the sheet totalled: - Each paper carried 38 columns with 20 cuts utilizing 203 square inches. One hundred and thirty-two inches of advertising were circulated. Each Collegian carried 15,000 printed words and represented 75 hours of student writing, together with 42 hours of student assemblying work. gt;, the sum total of all the time and labor that went into the 6,250 papers is staggering. Ninety-three million, seven hundred and seventy-five thousand words were printed, 1,268,750 square inches of- pictorial material shown, 725,000 column inches of ads were circulated and all this went on 825 pounds of magazine paper which were divided into 37,500 pages, which were subdivided into 237,500 columns. All this represented468,750 student-veiling hours- Student • assemblying hours added up to 262,500.

Atrocity Adolf At Work From Germany, by way of Siberia, came a 64-page propaganda booklet to the Collegian office this week. The table of contents questioned sternly, "Shall We Call It Refined British Torture?" Apparently the British were interning German women in a prison, while British prisoners i» Germany, according to the magazine, live in a kind of "castle where there are tea parties, card parties, and various amusements." (Firing squads are lots of fun). In another article it was reported that the nasty British are bombing neutral Denmark, which naturally outraged peace-loving Germany, for "Germany desires a Europe in which all nations cooperate to mutual benefit. Even in wartime she is trying to achieve this aim." Czechoslovakia loves Germany dearly and under German rule is starting a program of beautification of towns and villages, under armed guard, probably). The Czechs are to be shown that their real enemy is the Jews. It seems that there are British boy scouts on a camping trip in Jugoslavia. And Germany maintains through the medium of the Magazine that these vicious boy scouts are sabotaging factories! No sir, you just can't trust those boy scouts. They turn into sabotage agents and spies every time. In Poland, Germany is bearing with a bad situation bravely and generously in the face of the atrocities perpetrated by a few misguided Poles (Jews no doubt). These vicious Poles have "murdered" at least 5,437 German soldiers and "more graves will probably be found." These soldiers were peacefully trying to help the Poles run their country. The murders were undoubtedly instigated by the British who have planned them for a long time. According to the booklet, the only reason France is in the war is because of the influence of the Jews, for the French really see eye to eye with the Germans. Instead of admitting or explaining any of the charges brought either by the allied or neutral countries, they are "officially denied." This phrase occurs with monotonous regularity throughout the magazine. The subject . of concentration camps is studiously avoided and as for anyone ever being shot in such a camp, why the whole thing is a big joke and treated as such! WALON fteoi mcl Tltfik ^ FRANCE/1918— "The whistle blew. The sign for the attack had been given. My men were just kids, but so were the enemy. It was certain to be a hand-to-hand battle. I stumbled on through the mud and darkness. A German,youth, just a boy, a bewildered expression on his face, charged toward me. I lunged forward, my rusty 12-inch bayonet poised for the fatal. thrust. Then I got "deer fever" as the boys' eyes, in that flash of time, showed fear again. I couldn't jab him. I made an attempt to side-step and use the butt of my gun. But too late, he slipped and fell, my bayonet passing completely through his body. My first thought was to withdraw the bayonet and hide myself for this was a crime, a murder, but the bayonet had stuck in the lad's backbone. Wildly, I wiggled the bloody bayonet back and forth; the boy's body no longer moved, just the cold open eyes stared up at me. Extracting the bayonet, I couldn't go further. Mentally dulled, I slid back into the trench. I lay there for three days, vomiting every meal I ate . . . " WAR!! . . . as described by an army officer to a small group of R. O. T.

KULSHAN TRIP—FOLLOW-UP Sliding down hill on tin pants is the latest sport to be taken up by the college athletes—at least that's one that captured the sportlight on last week-end's Kulshan trip, jointly sponsored by the WAA and Norsemen; Lois Reid scraped her leg in the process, but aside from that, it was a popular sport. Two of the male members of the parly, Rolf Jensen and Frank Anderson, obtained feminine help in pulling a toboggan uphill, but when the girls looked down the hill they were going down they decided that the two men could have the pleasure of sliding down alone. Saturday nighty the hikers organized an impromptu band, composed of kitchen ware, and Lila Hart's harmonica, and danced the Virginia reel and the schottische. The hike up Colman glacier, led by Chet Ullin, former WWC student, was one of the highlights of the trip.

As Biggs has been so deliriously stating in his horsey predictions of late, it'll take an awfully warm hotfoot to move the Rangers from their dust-eating role in the W J N C O conference. The Gladiators, like the Rangers, haven't anything to write home about in way of ability either, but even with such comparatively easy pickings as these, the gang of Carver Norsemen will still find it tough sledding if some of them don't put their noses to the" grindstone With almost two months of cinder training behind them, it is still evident that many of the men are still in a dire need of further conditioning This is amply proven by the sad way in which several of the "stalwarts" crawled around the cinder path last Saturday. If the boys who are expected to win fame and honor for WWC, would save their romantic ad-; ventures at least until after the meets, there would be a lot less gray hairs in Coach Carver's head, arid a lot more points in the Viking summary. So men, just watch your step tonight, because if you're going to win any meets at all this year, it'll have to be tomorrow.

Or maybe he toked up too much on the night before. • • When one of the Viking distance men misplaced one of his dogs in one of the numerous irrigation ditches on the Waldo track oval Saturday, his three-point landing brings to mind that the cinder lanes still aren't up to par for such a strong conference meet as is in the offing in one week. After a shower of rain, the track takes on the appearance of Battersby field after a winter downpour. George Mabee, Wildcat track head, had a solution for the problem: "Maybe you should erect bridges over the water holes," he suggested. Anyhow, we won't have to put up with this headache much longer, because with the coming of the new training school, it will necessitate a new track field, and please, peoples, let's have one that will make fhe rest of the conference ovals look like sand lots. • Are letter sweaters becoming cheapened at W W C ? Oscar, • the Collegian mystery man, was in a quandry. You see, Oscar went to the track meet last Saturday, and he witnessed an Ellensburg man lose third place in the 440, because he was unfortunate enough to foul the Norse runner on the first turn. The young Wildcat, a very good sport, accepted the lots of the gods phleg-matically enough, even though it cost him his letter. Oscar was inquiring about, and he found that Ellensburg requires 8 points in track for a letter and an additional 8 points for a sweater. This set Oscar to thinking. He reflected that Norse golfers have to win but 9 points in a season that includes at least 8 matches and a possible 24 points, and they annex a sweater. Tennisters have only to take a mere two points out of a possible 10 or 12 and a sweater is theirs. And on the other hand football players must grunt and toil through fall mud for 10 minutes in each of five halfs before they join the W club. Basketball, too, is tough with prospective letter winners having to play ten minutes in ten different halves before they get their just reward. It all just didn't add up to Oscar, but probably that is because he is a stupid little kid. He kinda thought that they should make the requirements for tennis and golf a little tougher.

The Sweepers started the first inning off with a bang, and before the Manorites could retire them, the powerful Sweepers had pushed over four runs on four hits.

Clyde Farrier of Cheney is going to top this event. John Esvelt, Esq., alias, why we read the Journal, has this to say about Mr. Farrier: Quhote. He just missed 13 feet the other day. Unquhote. That is up there indeed. Mouse McAulay, Bill Windshimer, and Dan Paul of the Vikings, and Bob Miller, of Ellensburg, will have it out for the other spots. Mitch Might Make the Shot Shotpui honors are going to be given to Stan Anderson of Cheney or Big Mitch of the Vikings. Anderson has the longest heave to date but this warm sun 'is making Mitchell tougher and tougher. Hip-skind and Thommasen will follow in that order or vice Versa.

Students,fiiculty, eoMnfyresidents carry signs fromRed'Square to Federal Building BY SHAWNA WALLS The Western Front The usual lunchtime mix of students milled around Red Square at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, lazing in the bright sunshine. Fifteen minutes later, a crowd of hundreds had formed, chanting and carrying signs opposing a bill before the U.S. Senate that would make illegal immigration a felony. The Western chapter of the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, or MEChA, a human rights organization focusing onChicano issues, organized the class walkout and rally, but more than one-third were residents from around Whatcom County. Protesters ranged from parents carrying infants on their shoulders to senior citizens. Students carried signs see BARRIERS, page 5 ISSUE 3, VOLUME 137 AS vote keeps â€¢ * â€¢ BY JEFFREY LUXMORE â€¢ ^ The Associated Students board of directors voted 5-2 Wednesday to prevent a transportation referendum from appearing on the student ballot later this month at their weekly meeting in the Viking Union. If passed, the referendum would have appeared on the spring elections ballot. Students could have voted on the referendum that proposed a student transportation fee of $19 be added to student tuition each quarter. The fee would have provided every student with a bus pass and the university with at least $40,000 for bicycle and pedestrian paths around campus. The additional funding would also allow Western to contract additional late-night bus service from the Whatcom Transportation Authority. AS president Western senior Shannon Hutchinson, said she voted against the sustainable transportation referendum because she didn't see the value for students who don't use the buses frequently. Hutchinson said she uses the bus onceaweek. "I'm thinking about 13,000 students and the ones that haven't been admittedyet and whether thatfee can pro vide a benefit," Hutchinson said. Gene Myers, an associate professor at the Huxley College of the Environment, said he disagreed with Hutchinson's rationale. "To be a valuable public good, you don't have to demonstrate (individual benefit)," Myers said. "This was, in my opinion, a really good benefit at an excellent value that the board failed to present to students." Myers said the Student Health Center and its fee are see BUS, page 6 Workers cut down tree near Old Main BY BECKIE ROSILLO The Western Front If a tree falls on campus, would anyone hear it? One fallen tree has left a resounding echo in its absence. An American Elm tree on north campus has drawn student and faculty attention since its removal Wednesday Facilities management cut the tree down during spring break because it was a safety hazard to students, utility worker Duane Beltman said. The wood was so soft Beltman said he could bend and break it in his hand. From the stump, die rot was approximately 5 feet deep, outdoor maintenance utility worker Josh Intveld said. When the men arrived. to remove the remains of the tree Wednesday, a sign reading, "This tree was murdered," was taped to the top of the stump. Facilities management lead gardener Randy Godfrey said the tree was one of many planted during the original landscaping at Western more than 100 years ago. Intveld said the tree was rotting, which mean it has a greater chance of breaking, especially in heavy winds or rain. "There was bracket fungus growing at the bottom of the tree and that indicates an advanced state of decay," Godfrey said. The tree was near several walkways on the lawn behind Wilson Library, next to the Humanities Building and Old Main. Intveld said the nearly 2-foot-wide tree had a five- inch ring of live wood in the outermost part of the stump when they cut it down. The inside core of the tree was a soft, crumbly substance of dead tissue, Godfrey said. see HAGGARD, page 6 BECKIE ROSILLO / THE WESTERN FRONT Utility workers Josh Intveld arid Duane Beltman mix roots from a tree they removed into the soil between Wilson Library and Old Main Wednesday.

Compiled by Deanna Holmquist City continues Civic Complex renovation BY RYAN WYNNE The Western Front The city's $10 million Civic Complex construction project has left Western's track and football teams without practice fields for their spring seasons. Bellingham parks and recreation department began construction on Civic Stadium Feb. 1 and plans to finish by Sept 1, Bellingham city councilwoman Barbara Ryan said. Bellingham parks and recreation considers Civic Complex's construction high priority because it doesn't meet safety standards of the city, she said. "There were parts of the facility in bad need of repair," Ryan said. "Even normal safety issues." Civic Complex is a sports facility including Civic Stadium, also known as Civic Field, Joe Martin Field, which is a baseball field, a skate park, an aquatic center and several sofifoall fields. PaulLeuthold,Bellinghamparks and recreation director, said the city hadn't renovated the complex since the 1960s. Civic Stadium's roof leaks, has poor accessibility for disabled people and the parking lot lacks any dividers and is full of pot holes, he said. Many schools and clubs use die complex, including Western intercollegiate and club teams, community club teams and high schools, Leuthold said. The council decided to renovate the complex now primarily so it would be done by the time Bellingham high schools began their fall sports seasons Sept. 1. Civic Complex is all the high schools have to practice and compete on, he said. The improvements will benefit any school or organization using MATT VOGT / THE WESTERN FRONT Civic Complex, on Orleans Street, is under renovation to add locker rooms and a new scoreboard. Construction will finish by Sept. 1. the facility though, he said Western's track team, which uses the stadium for track meets, and the football team, which scrimmages there, have been using the turf field on campus in place of Civic Stadium this spring season. Western's track team held their largest home meet of the season, the Ralph Vernacchia Track and Field Classic, last Saturday, hosting eight teams, said Western's head track and field coach Kelvin 'Tee Wee" Halsell. Because the campus track has only six lanes compared to Civic Stadium's eight, and fewer long jump and triple jump pits on campus, the meet went longer and was less efficient, he said. Despite the disruption this season, Halsell said Civic Stadium construction will have a favorable impact on the trackteam. Recoating and restriping the track to lengthen its life and installing a new shot put area are part of the construction plans, Leuthold said. Western's head football coach Robin Ross said the football team has used Civic Stadium for weekly practices in past seasons, but said it is only a minor inconvenience and has been using the campus field for all practices. Civic Stadium has a capacity of 5,000 and the campus track and field don't have any benches, he said. This could affect the turnout for the team scrimmage on April 29, which draws approximately 50 to 60 spectators, Ross said. The stadium's capacity will not change in the renovations, Leuthold said. The construction, which includes adding more locker rooms, renovating the existing ones, paving the gravel parking lot and enlarging the press box could benefit the Western football team, he said. "It will be a lot easier for us to work," Ross said. "You've got another set of eyes upstairs with a better view of the game." The renovated locker rooms will include new showers, benches and cubbies, Leuthold said. The new ones will have a capacity of approximately 100 people. "When Western has games there, they typically suit up almost 100 players," Leuthold said. "Our locker rooms were not able to accommodate that level of participation." Other improvements for Civic Stadium and Joe Martin Field include building a new scoreboard at Civic Stadium, new ticket booths and roofs at both stadiums and ah elevator to the press box in Civic Stadium, Leuthold said.

"We live in a culture where these things happen more than people think," said Sarah Rankin, director of Crime and Sexual Assault Services at Western. "Hopefully these events will bring to light the fact that they do indeed happen and that they are horrible." One event, Take Back the Night, is a tradition from the 1970s symbolizing women's freedom to walk alone at night without fearing rape or male predators, Rankin said. Women will march from the Performing Arts Center through the streets of Bellingham, Rankin said. The exact route is not released until the event, she said. "It is a chance for women to reclaim the streets," said Josh O'Donnell, lifestyle advisor for the AS club Western Men Against Violence. "They don't want men to participate to represent the idea that women don't need to have a protector." Men will hold candles and light luminarias in Red Square for the women to see when they return from their march, O'Donnell said. Brian Pahl, coordinator for the club, said men's involvement in the month's activities is important because men typically commit the violence against women, but most are not perpetrators. "It's time for men to say to other men that violence is unacceptable," Pahl said. In the event, "Walk A Mile in Her Shoes; The Men's March to End Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence," men will walk from campus to downtown Bellingham in women's shoes to raise money for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of Whatcom County, Rankin said. "Personally I have huge feet in women's sizes," - O'Donnell said. "So I am going to have some flashy slippers probably, unless I can find some heels in a 14 or 15 in women sizes." Pahl said he wants to take an active role in this month's events. "We want to show that we care about the women in our lives and in the community," Pahl said. Ducky Doolittle, a New York comedian and sexologist, will talk about her experience with sexual assault and will empower women to feel beautiful, Rankin said. "She mixes humor with sex advice, giving her audience permission to laugh and relax as she dishes out real, solid sexual information," Rankin said. The month's events will conclude on April 29 with a community festival at Boundary Bay and Bistro on Railroad Avenue, which includes performers, dancers and speakers. "These events give people a chance to see the world through a woman's eyes and hopefully to gain empathy through that experience," Rankin said.

The conference will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in Fairhaven College, and is free for both students and Bellingham residents. Keynote speaker Jonathan Lawson, the executive director of Reclaim the Media, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization dedicated to media reform and activism, will speak about the conference theme. Students can participate in workshops on topics such as race in the media, - class-and- lt;3ulturey -media- reform, media activism and freelance journalism following Lawson's speech. "Our workshop facilitators are people in our community or nearby in Seattle who are very involved with the media and are taking steps every day to make the media environment a better place," said Western senior Shabnam Mojtahedi, assistant coordinator for the Social Issues Resource Center. Holly Robinson, Western senior and founder of the Media Literacy Club, said this conference will teach students and community members to realize how differently media outlets portray the news. "It's a conference on how to better evaluate media on a more critical level than just absorption," Robinson said. "It will encourage participants to get their news from more than one source and to evaluatenewsfrommultipleperspectives, such as conservative, progressive, alternative and mainstream." Robinson and Mojtahedi, the event's principal organizers, have been inspired to organize it after taking Western courses such as communication professor Michael Karlberg's media literacy class, communication 444. Karlberg will also participant in the conference. Mojtahedi said she wanted to expand on what the classes taught and educate Western students on media literacy and how to deconstruct what they see on a day-to-day basis in every type of news, from daily broadcast to newspapers to alternative sources. "The classes we've taken and the events we've been to on campus have made us realize how pervasive the media is and how little people really criticize what they see," Mojtahedi said. wm mm mummm. mmwmrmmm? 360-733-TAXI r gt;ui costs more than OO kegs of beer, eh^ Yo9 Taxi! 360-733-8294 (TAXI) *f - 3 0 0 ~ T " Â» JCi~CÂ«l tÂ» www.yellowcabinc.com Pflll M A I M onocTO MAKE SH APPOINTMENT BT THE wiit Mu-wsusa m m B|HT|B M|M|ST m p Planned P a r ^ l ^ ^ ^ p ^ ^ ^ p ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Rights.

Bellingham resident and Western alumnus Jim Hanrahan, 62, said he heard about the event through the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center and wanted to participate to show his opposition to the pending legislation. The bill, HR 4437, would also make assisting illegal immigrants a felony, and mandate building 700 miles of barriers along the southern border of the United States, to complement already-existing barriers near urban areas, such as San Diego and El Paso, Texas. The U.S. Senate is debating a less-stringent version of the bill this week that would improve work visas and expediate processes for illegal immigrants already in the country to seek citizenship. Although the event was peaceful, many protestors prepared for the worst. American Civil Liberties Union representatives handed out "bust" cards instructing marchers on what to do if arrested, such as avoid arguing with police. Representatives from the National Lawyers Guild also joined the rally to support protesters in case of arrest or violence. Bellingham attorney Larry Hildes, 40, watched for any signs of conflict or rising tempers. "(The organizers) asked us to provide legal support," Hildes - - Tl: PHOTO COURTESY OF MARKMALUAN Western sophomore and protester Kelly Montague thanked specific groups of protesters, including Western students and faculty, for attending the walkout Wednesday. said. "So we're keeping an eye out for things." At 12:30 p.m., the cheering crowd formed a line behind a banner reading "Si, se puede," a migrant rallying slogan which translates from Spanish to "Yes, we can" and marched down Indian Street. Covering the sidewalk, the three-block-long group chanted about justice as they marched toward downtown Bellingham. Their destination was the Federal Building on Magnolia Street, where Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., has an office. Larsen voted for the bill when it first passed the U.S. House of Representatives in December 2005, though he expressed dissatisfaction with the House version of the bill. At the Federal Building, protesters spilled off the sidewalk, blocking one lane of West Magnolia Street. Bellingham police officers directed traffic around the crowd. Several speakers rallied the group there, including Larry Estrada, an associate professor of American cultural studies at Fairhaven College. "We are here today to defend those who are working the hardest," he said. "We live so much better because of the role of immigrants in our country. We will not let them be rounded up and detained." Western senior Brendan O'Reilly carried a large banner reading "Thank You, Cesar Chavez," in honor of the late farm workers' rights activist. More Americans should remember their immigrant roots, he said. "The vast majority of Americans are descended from immigrants," O'Reilly said. "The current generation has no right to say it should be stopped now." Kareli Samano, 16, a student at Nooksack Valley High School in eastern Whatcom County, said several of her classmates used MySpace.com to organize joining the rally. "All the Hispanic kids at my school tried to come," she said. "Everyone has at least one or two relatives who would be affected." No organized opposition to the protestors showed on campus or at the downtown rally. One student in Red Square held a sign with a slogan about the problem of illegal immigration, and another debated with a marcher about border security and evidence relating to terrorist attacks. At approximately 2 p.m., the rally drew to a close. Western sophomore and organizer, Kelly Montague, thanked the assembled protesters. "We cannot celebrate the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and then build another one 15 years later," Montague said, "For those of us who cannot buy a lobby, this is how we show our support."

The AS board of directors voted 5-2 to keep the, proposal off of the spring AS elections ballot on Wednesday. Bus: Students will not see referendum in election due to board's decision based on lack of time to prepare CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 an example. He said every student benefits from the health fee even if they don't use the health center. The service is there if a student needs it. The recreation center fee is similar, he said. Western senior Tony Russo, a transportation advisory committee member, ran and lost in the AS elections last spring promoting alternative transportation, he said. Russo said he participated in negotiations with the WTA and has pushed for the transportation fee since last year. "I would think whatever portion of the 13,000 students who choose to vote, had they had the opportunity, have a better idea what is in their interest than five members of the AS board of directors," Russo said. Russo said without the referendum, the WTA can increase bus pass costs without student consent because no contract exists. The referendum would not increase the fee more than five percent per year and the AS board would review the fee every four years. Western senior Alanna Ahern, AS vice president for campus and community affairs, said the board disappointed her by not allowing students to decide something affecting them. Western senior Peter Graves, AS vice president for legislative affairs, voted against the referendum. He said the board could not approve every motion brought before them because the ballot would contain too many issues for students to be informed on. Western junior James Sanders, AS vice president for academic affairs, said his primary concern, with less than one month until elections, was the lack of time to educate students about the fee and what it would provide. University Police Chief Jim Shaw, said the parking pass benefit for students with cars would likely be limited to the C lots if every student received a bus pass. Students ivoiiSd^e'XSI^!^SSS^iM'^pcSâ‚¬'iSS1s^i' pass provided by the fee to act as a parking pass on most parking lots, Sanders said. Helping students understand the change in benefits needs more time than is available, he said. Western senior Keegan Hartman, a member of the transportation committee, told board members to focus on the night bus service the fee could provide. Bus service late at night is what students overwhelmingly wanted, he said. Sixty-two percent of students approve of nighttime bus service and are willing to pay up to $20 per quarter, according to a winter quarter survey by the campus planning studio, a class designed to address Western's long-term planning needs. The class, led by Myers, received 938 responses from 2095 surveys they sent out to students' e-mail accounts. "I have never seen an AS election with a 46 percent participation rate," Myers said. "I would rely on this survey." Transportation Research Record, a peer-reviewed journal by the National Research Council, will publish the survey to the federal government in the fall, Myers said. "The rest of the world will know that Western could have had a great deal," Myers said after the board voted against the referendum. "But that message was apparently lost on some members of the board."

The fungus spreads underground when one infected tree's roots touch the roots of another, he said. While trees seem healthy on the outside, severe damage can exist within. "Usually by the time the foliage dies, (the trees) are in advanced stages of decay," he said. Facilities management does not remove these trees without thinking of their importance to the environment, Godfrey said. The university will plant a tupelo tree approximately five feet from the original location of the Elm, Godfrey said. He said the university intends to replace any tree it removes. "Why not plant one that could have 40 to 60 years to grow instead of old ones that could fall and hurt good students?" he said. "You're here to get an education, not get injured." Godfrey said he was upset students thought facilities management would thoughtlessly remove these historical trees. Facilities management plans to remove another tree on High Street next to Wilson Library in the future. Godfrey said student safety is the only reason for removing trees. "We've had an ongoing program of removing dead limbs from trees so they don't fall on people," Godfrey said. "We're very, conservative about saving trees. I don't want people to think we're cutting down trees at random. It's really not the case." BECKffi ROSDLLO / THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior Nick Gisiason responds to a note posted on the tree stump by writing that evidence of rot is visible in the stump, indicating the tree was already dead.- ---------- Western Front 2006-04-07 - Page 7 ---------- ACCENT FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 â€¢ WESTERNFRONTONLINE.COM â€¢ PAGE 7 For th BY LANE Koivu The Western Front Vancouver, British Columbia's Three Inches of Blood will bring its heavy metal riffs to the stage at 8 p.m. April 15 at The Nightlight Lounge. The bill features local hardcore metal band Full Frontal Assault and local punk-garage rock quintet USS Horsewhip. Tickets are $10. Six-piece band Three Inches of Blood's influences are late 1970s and early 1980s heavy metal bands, such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and old Metallica, bassist Brian Redman said. The band is determined to prove the metal genre is alive and kicking by updating the music of the bands they are influenced by, he said. "You can play loud, abrasive,, angry music that isn't negative," he said. "That's what we're striving for." Mainstream metal bands, such as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, distract listeners from the core values that define metal, Redman said. In 2002, the band toured the United Kingdom as the opening act for The Darkness, Redman said. After developing a large fanbase while touring with The Darkness, Roadrunner Records signed the e oo PHOTO COURTESY OF ROADRUNNER RECORDS Three Inches of Blood will share the stage with two Bellingham bands at 8 p.m. April 15 at The Nightlight Lounge. band in 2004. After signing on with the label, the band joined its elite roster, which includes Slipknot, Hatebreed, Devil Driver and Nickelback, he said. One of the bands to take the stage, USS Horsewhip, will play their first show in Bellingham since November, said James Burns, the band's vocals and guitarist. The band's last show in Bellingham was to promote their 2005 debut album, "USS Horsewhip Wants You Dead," on local label music New Regard Media. "We're going to get on stage, play loud for 25 minutes, then break stuff, and then we're going to get really drunk," Burns said. Full Frontal Assault's vocalist and lyricist Jeff Kastelic said he hopes the show will help bring metal back into the Bellingham metal scene. "We've felt like outcasts for some reason," Kastelic said. "When people get an image in their head of a bunch of longhaired dudes head-banging, they think, 'I'm not gonna go to that show.'" Full Frontal Assault wants to go against that stereotype by inspiring its listeners to overcome their struggles in life, whatever they may be, Kastelic said. "You can expect us to play real hard, play really loud, and play emotional and energetic," he said. The show will be the release party for the new Full Frontal Assault album, "Beyond the Resistance," which New Regard Media will distribute at the show, Kastelic said. Redman said Bellingham lacks a strong metal scene, but he is confident the show will be a success. "You're always having to take a risk as an artist," he said. "One minute you're hot, and the next minute you sound like 'Saint Anger' [Metallica]."

The ASP Pop Music will host its Spring Showcase concert at 7 p.m. April 14 in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room. The Showcase is free, all-ages and open to the public. The concert features four Bellingham based bands, including Dragline, Wilson Project, The Educataz and Therman Merman. ASP Pop Music Coordinator David Westbrook said he expects two more bands will also play at the concert. Westbrook said this show will be comprised of a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from . â€¢ Dragline's hardcore rock sound to trio Therman Merman's pop-punk jams and the hip-hop beats of The Educataz. Dragline guitarist and Western senior Eric Sanford said he is excited to introduce the band's hardcore sound to those who may not be familiar with the band's style of music. "We're fast and hard," Dragline bassist and Western senior Julie Shoun said. "It's not mainstream; more stripped-down punk." Dragline's vocalist Jeff Wampler is a post baccalaureate student at Western, and drummer Aaron Apple is a 2006 Western alumnus. Sanford said he is looking forward to listening to the other bands' performances. This will be Dragline's third show in six months at Western. The band will also play at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Highland Hall's lounge. The Showcase will be punk rockers Therman Merman's first Western 'We're fast and hard. It's not mainstream, more stripped-down punk.' JULIE SHOUN .: _;.. Dragline hassi^t ^ concert; The band has been together for a year, said the band's drummer and vocalist, Western junior Ian Callaghan. The other members are guitars and vocals, Whatcom Community College sophomore Markus Parkins and bassist and vocalist Jazzy Florence. Therman Merman has performed at the Bay Street Coffee House and occasionally performs at their home, Callaghan said. "I would say (our style) is fast, pop-punk with songs that are really short." Callaghan said. The band's songs are usually 50 to 60 seconds long, he said. Bellingham residents The Educataz have been together for more than four years. The hip-hop group draws inspiration â€¢â€¢ : from a variety of bands, such as De La Soul and The Beatles, rapper Dylan Walsh said. The Showcase is The Educataz's first show at Western, Walsh said. The group has performed at the Pickford Dreamspace and at The Rogue Hero, he said. The band is excited for the show, the college crowd is the band's primary fan base, Walsh said. "Western gets good crowds and taps into the college kids scene," Walsh said. Westbrook said he expects a large turnout for the Showcase because local bands often have a strong community fanbase. "In the past, for local shows, we usually see a minimum of 300 people per night," he said. "There will be two stages set up so that the Showcase will be non-stop music." ASP Pop Music usually puts on seven shows per quarter, Westbrook said. PHOTOGOUI^ Dragline bassist Julie Shoun jams in an apartment in Langley, British Columbia, Nov. 20,2005.

Despite a grain auger accident on his family's dairy farm in Everson at age 2, in which he nearly lost his right arm, Dykstra competed and excelled in basketball. Two weeks ago, Dykstra received the 2006 V Foundation Comeback Award. "This is a very prestigious award mat only goes to one person in the nation," said Brad Jackson, Western's head basketball coach. Dykstra is the first non-Division I athlete to receive the award in its six-year history. Former North Carolina State basketball coach Jim Valvano inspired the Comeback Award comes from the V Foundation for Cancer Research after Valvano died in 1993 after a year-long battle with cancer. Despite his struggle with cancer, Valvano continued to motivate his team to win the 1983 NCAA National Basketball Championship, Dykstra said. The foundation presents the award annually to an individual who has overcome an illness or sickness and excels in athletics.

His cousins ran to get Dykstra's mother and Dykstra said the presence of God moved her to shut off the machine, something she didn't know how to operate. Dykstra said fee move saved his life. Doctors wanted to amputate his arm, but his parents refused and he recovered, Dykstra said. Dykstra's older brother and sister, his role models, introduced him to basketball after the accident, Dykstra said. Dykstra underwent 16 surgeries from age 2 to 12, resulting in his right arm being slightly shorter than the left, and limited use in his right hand to this day, Dykstra said. "This was really an honor, and well deserved," said Jackson, who coached Dykstra for four years. "With just the injury itself, to live normal was one thing. To play at the level he did was just phenomenal." Senior center Tyler MacMullen said Dykstra's overcame every obstacle required to play college basketball and never complained. Dykstra, 23, graduated winter quarter with Western's career scoring record of 1,844 points, and the record for 3-pointers in a season with 101, Jackson said. Dykstra made third-team Bulletin All-American mis "'^"'"T"^ started every game in his four years. Dykstra, a finance graduate and fatherofa21-month-oldson, Griffin, works at Whatcom Educational Credit Union in Bellingham. His wife, Tara, is,due to give birth to their second child Wednesday. Dykstra said he considers the award one of his greatest achievements. "I felt honored to win this award," Dykstra said. "It is an honor to be forever attached to Jim Valvano's name." Dykstra played on the Lynden Christian High School basketball team from 1998 to 2001, and in 2002, he started for the Vikings, Dykstra said Awards and the record-setting basketball career followed. "I was never striving for those things," Dykstra said. "They just kind of happened." In 2005, Dykstra received the Most Courageous Award from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association of America. "Looking back at my career, I'm pretty proud of receiving those two awards," Dykstra said. "I had never really thought of people looking at me as an inspiration. It is a great honor." Dykstra played hard in every game until the final buzzer, senior forward Tyler Ainaya said "He just had this fierce competitiveness about him. It wasn't just about him getting the 3-pointers," Amaya said. "It was about doing whatever he could to give the team a better chance of winning." Dykstra worked well with his teammates and always had a positive attitude, Jackson said. "As a coach, I don't think I could ask for any better because of his attitude, great courage and great desire," Jackson said. "Grant was the kind of person you enjoyed seeing every day." Dykstra said he had the opportunity to play professionally overseas after graduating, but he placed family first, staying in Bellingham to provide for his family. His favorite part of the day is going home to play with his son, Dykstra said. He feels the need to share the life lessons he has learned with his family and friends. "God has a plan for everyone," Dykstra said. "I Jiad this accident for a reason. God gave me basketball for a reason. My story was meant to inspire, and be a role model for kids. It's all a part of God's plan." ---------- Western Front 2006-04-07 - Page 11 ---------- APRIL 7,2006 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 Pitcher, father leads Vikings' staff BY C. JENNINGS BREAKEY The Western Front Scattered throughout the Bellingham Sportsplex, Western club baseball players hit balls in the netted batting cage, take grounders on the artificial turf field and pitch off the black rubber floor at practice the evening of March 30. The players looked focused yet relaxed, poking fun at each other between repetitions. But senior pitcher Brandon Boyd, 24, looked slightly distracted while talking with teammates. Boyd's eyes wander to his right and left, peering between a handful of teammates until he finally spots the green eyes of his 20-month-old-son Braiden. The brown-haired boyv wears a tiny black baseball mitt, a Boston Red Sox cap, a fuzzy, gray army fleece and smiles cheerfully with chubby cheeks. He is the only child among Western's players and coaches. "You don't want to eat that, that's not yours," Boyd said to Braiden as his son tried to nibble leftover cracker crumbs on one of the Sportsplex's tables. As Boyd brushed off the table and wiped Braiden's mouth with his sleeve, he said his son has more interests than other people's food. "He's really into dinosaurs right now," said Boyd, who's majoring in physical science and health. "We just bought a couple new dinosaur books today. That's what he was doing before we came to practice." Boyd anchors the baseball club's pitching staff with a 2.13 ERA. The Viking starter was a 2005 first team all-region pitcher. When the two arrived at the Sportsplex, Boyd jumped into doing what he loves â€” pitching. While the right-hander rarely gets rattled on the mound, his son gave him more mental toughness. "I'm more relaxed out there," Boyd said. "Since I have a son, it's not that big of a deal. There are more important things. I don't get nervous playing sports anymore." Boyd, who is engaged to fiance Amber DeRouchey, who is Braiden's mother, said Braiden's favorite thing to do on the baseball field is stepping on the bases after games. Boyd said balancing baseball with parenthood is tough because of time conflicts, but Western senior pitcher Ryan Kauffman said he's risen to the occasion on both ends. "He's super mature for his age," Kauffman said. "He's juggling everything right now. He's like our fourth coach. That's the way we think of him." Boyd has classes at 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., but he said that's when his day starts. Because Boyd and DeRouchey share a car, he picks up Braiden after school and drops DeRouchey off at the Bellingham Beauty School, where she attends class, for the evening. When he found out he was going to be a dad while pursuing a degree, Boyd said he was a little overwhelmed. "I was like, 'Wow, this is too much to handle,' " he said. "I have to give him attention, too." Studying all day is no longer an option, Boyd said. He has balanced a grueling schedule and spending time with Braiden, he said. "I get to spend the whole afternoon together with him," he said. "We get close." Kauffman supervised Braiden while Boyd pitched during practice. He said he enjoys the little left- hander's company. "It's just a lot of fun to have him around," Kauffman said. "I wish he was a little older because we would have him in the dugout." Head coach Michael Johnson said Boyd's fatherly maturity shows just as much on the field as it does off. "It definitely rolls over onto the field the way he presents himself on the mound," he said. "He's always C. JENNINGS BREAKEY / THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior pitcher Brandon Boyd plays with his 20- month-old son, Braiden, during practice at the Bellingham Sportsplex March 30. looking to set a good example for his son." Johnson said every sports-minded father's dream is to have his kid grow up and play the sport he played when young. From what the Vikings'players and coach observe, Boyd's dream will come true, Johnson said. "He's (Braiden) got a bright future ahead of him from what we can see," he said. "The kid has got a great father to teach him how to play the game."

Basketball analysts, fans and the casual spectator all agree he is the best basketball player in the game's history. What people don't agree on is who will be the next Jordan. Every competitor has tried and all have failed, but one thing is for sure â€” soon another will rise. In recent years, NBA analysts considered different players the next Jordan, but all have failed to compare. They never lived up to the expectations and most never put up the statistics to warrant such a comparison. However, Miami guard Dwyane Wade will become the next Michael Jordan. In the 1995 draft, the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Jerry Stackhouse with the third pick. Sports writers predicted him to fill Jordan's shoes. Fans wanted him to be the electrifying player Jordan was and become the league's best player with lockdown defense and amazing offense. He never lived up to the hype, but evolved into one of the best position players in the NBA by not demanding the limelight and making huge contributions both offensively and defensively off the bench.' .-, After the Dallas Mavericks, traded for Stackhouse in 2004, he flourished. He become a player that contributed in subtle ways to help bis team win. Ever since college, Stackhouse lacked consistency. He never lived up to his potential when he graduated from the University of North Carolina, Jordan's alma mater. It didn't help that Stackhouse played for three teams expecting him to be the star. He never played for one team long enough to build a winning reputation. The next year Kobe Bryant entered the NBA draft out of high school and could have been the next Jordan, if he wasn't so selfish. Bryant rose to stardom with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he tried to win games by himself, and has problems hogging the ball. -"' â€¢ ._ He has been a dominant force on. offense but has never been a strong defensive player like Jordan. Bryant won three championships with the Lakers, but Miami center Shaquille O'Neal, the best and most dominant center to ever play the game, was at his side. Bryant was not the star of the team but shared the spotlight with O'Neal. Bryant wanted to be the face of his team, the lone superstar in the midst of ordinary players. But he is not a player who can take an entire franchise on his shoulders and carry them to NBA immortality. One of the most touted high school players drafted in recent years was forward Kwame Brown. Jordan drafted Brown while Jordan was president ofbasketball operations with the Washington Wizards. L i k e Bryant, Brown analysts were telling the world he would be the NBA's next dominant player. James immediately lived up to his potential after joining the NBA and has been an offensive monster. He is averaging 26.5 points per game, 6:7 rebounds per game and 6.6 assists per game â€” amazing stats for a third year player. But James will not become the next Jordan because he lacks the defensive skills. He doesn't have the ability to steal the ball or deny an opponent a look at the basket. He appears to be developing into the was a h i g h s c h o o l prodigy. In the 2001 draft, the Wizards drafted Brown with the first overall pick. Brown is an NBA failure, averaging only 7.5 points per game and 5.6 rebounds. per game, according to NBA.com, lackluster numbers for a top draft pick. .Basketball analysts were praising Brown to be Jordan's heir. The Wizards believed Brown was an amazing offensive and defensive player who would be the Wizard's savior. The 2003 NBA draft brought guards LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to the NBA. The Cleveland Cavaliers drafted James with the first overall pick and Wade went to the Miami Heat as the fifth pick. During James'junior year in high school, NBA analysts started comparing him to Jordan when James play against inferior players who shouldn't have been on the same basketball court. Many games during his senior year were on ESPN because next Bryant because of his offensive ability. When the Heat drafted Wade, he didn't have the hype surrounding him because the media focused on James and his ability out of high school. Wade played at Marquette University and was a solid player when he left after his junior year, according to NBA.com. Wade was a choice to the NBA's all-defensive second team. NBA analysts view Wade as one of the up and coming defenders in the league. Wade's isn't a merely defense player but an all-around star. This season he is averaging 27.7 points per game, 5.8 rebounds per game and 6.7 assists per game. Wade is the MVP of the NBA despite being on Miami with O'Neal, forward Antoine Walker and guard Gary Payton, all former or current All-Stars. Wade will become the next Jordan. His stats are comparable to Jordan and he involves his whole team. Like Jordan, he is able to beat a player on offense and shut them down on defense. If he is struggling, offensively he will get other players the ball and help in other ways, such as getting rebounds and playing stellar defense. Wade will match Jordan's superstar level and become the greatest player of his era. D u r i n g Jordan's career, he averaged 30.1 points per game, 5.3 assists per game, 6.2 rebounds per game, 2.4 steals per game and 49 percent from the field. To reach these numbers, a player would have to dominate on the offensive and defensive side like Wade is. Jordan was the league MVP five times during his career and also a six-time NBA champion, receiving the MVP honors for the Finals each time. Jordan was on the all- NBA team 10 times and the all-defensive first team nine times. He also was a 14-time NBAAll-Star. Jordan was the rookie of the year in 1985 and defensive player of the year in 1988. Wade will be the next Jordan. He has an exceptional coach in Pat Riley and the teammates and ability to dominant the NBA. Wade takes over a game every time he steps onto the court. He will be the greatest player of the century. He has developed his game and has shown flashes of brilliance and dominance reminiscentof Jordan by taking the team on his shoulders and winning games. Now Pre- leasing Â£or Summer and Fall!!!

The Warthogs will switch leagues next season from the Pacific Northwest Rugby Football Union's Division I to the Union's Division II league. Western will switch leagues because of their constant inability to field 30 players this season and the team's poor performance against Division I teams with larger rosters, senior forward Tim Cunningham said. Last season, the team's lack of roster depth became an issue when two key players suffered injuries, Cunningham said. . "We were playing in the muck and mud a lot so some guys had ankle injuries and two guys broke their legs," Cunningham said. Freshmen forward Jason Boyd and sophomore back Marc Staiger both broke their legs last fall, Cunningham said. The Union's Division I rules require teams have atleast30playersperrugby matchanddivide those players into varsity and junior varsity teams. Division U requires 15 players, senior captain and club president Luke Murphy said. Murphy said because Western is an NCAA Division II school with fewer students than Division I schools, the team has fewer students to draw from. Despite losing Boyd and Staiger to injuries, the club had some success during the fall season. The Warthogs placed third in the Gobblerfest tournament on Thanksgiving weekend in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Murphy said. However, the team lost all five of their league games, Cunningham said. Team members are optimistic about moving to Division U. It will help them win more games because they will be bigger, faster and stronger than their opponents, Cunningham said. Cunningham said playing against the Division I schools will prepare them for the Division II schools. "We've played (Division JJ schools) in exhibition and have done well against them," Cunningham said. "We have better players and as a whole, we have a bit more experience than them." Next year will be Cunningham's fifth playing rugby, Murphy's sixth, senior forward Joe PHOTO COURTESY OF LUKE MURPHY Western's men's rugby team played the University of Washington Feb. 25 in Bellingham. The Huskies dropped Western 77-5. Spring's fourth and leading scorer junior Abe Salmon's second, Murphy said. Salmon led the team in scoring last season with five tries, rugby's equivalent of a touchdown in football, Murphy said. A try is worth five points, and the kick that follows is worth two points. Even though the team is focused on preparing for next season, spring practices are more relaxed, Cunningham said. Before practice March 30, Spring wore a cardboard Burger King birthday crown and ran around the field in his underwear, Murphy said. "We goof off because/we all love each other and get along and enjoy each other's company," senior back Charlie Spring said. "We're out there for each other. We party hard and we play hard." Murphy said goofing around with each other is essential to success in rugby because it is such a team oriented sport. "Everybody has to be on the same page, working hard," Murphy said. "If you have a weak link, then-it^brings the whole-team down." Trusting teammates in a violent, physical sport can prevent injuries. Knowing a teammate is there for support makes a better rugby club, he said. This combination of work and play is the perfect approach for the Warthogs as they look toward next season and the less competitive Division n, Murphy said. Working through the offseason and preparing to play Division II opponents will drive the Warthogs to improve on last season's league record, Murphy said "The main goal for next year is to get wins under our belt, to build self-esteem and to show that we can be a competitive team while still having fun," Murphy said. Viking golf rips competition BYTOMCALLIS The Western Front After winning the Grand Canyon University Invitational March 28 in Goodyear, Ariz., the Western women's golf team is focused on winning the NCAA Division II regional and national tournaments in May. The women's golf team is ranked No. 3 nationally in the National Golf Coaches Association NCAA Division II Poll. "This is the year people are really looking at us," sophomore golfer Jennifer Noland said. "We have a solid team and everyone looks at us as the team to beat (in every tournament)." -The .West Regional Golf Tournament has not yet invited the Vikings to play in the May 1 through May 2 tournament. The Western golfers believe they will earn an invitation because of their national ranking and performance, head coach Bo Stephan said. The team has one regular season tournament remaining in Chico, Calif., April 10 to April 11, before the regional tournament. The top two regional teams will compete at nationals in Allensdale, Miss., May 10 to May 13. Western tied for first place with. Drury University at regionals last spring and finished fifth at nationals. The team has forged a winning reputation in the last five years, senior golfer Candice Wagner said. "During my freshman year we only played in Washington and traveled around in a van," Wagner said. "Now we are playing top teams around the country. We are not the underdogs anymore." Stephan graduated from Western in 2003 after golfing for the men's team for four years and is a first year head coach for the women's team. Stephan quickly earned the team's admiration, who credit their success to bis coaching, encouragement and -positive attitude about a golfer's ability, Wagner said.. " "We love him, he is really positive and has brought out the best in us," senior golfer Katja Trygg said. Nationally ranked Trygg is third among Division IT women golfers, Stephan said. "This is the best women's golf team Western has had," Stephan said. "The girls have gotten better at just playing good golf and put more effort at preparing themselves. They are very good at holding the lead which is a testament to their competitiveness." Check out these NEW Independent Learning Courses! He SAYS its no sweat running the latest software.

The fee would have provided every student with a bus pass and allocated money toward bicycle and pedestrian projects around campus, as well as contracted late night bus services. Maybe Western students would like to vote on the matter, but the board isn't giving them the chance. As students attending this university, we are paying for its services. We pay to lift weights at the Wade King Recreational Center, we pay for counseling with an academic advisor and maybe we would like to pay for a bus pass and a cheap late night ride home. It's our money. We deserve the right to decide how the AS allocates it. We pay an arm and a leg for books and beer. Maybe we want to pay $19 for a bus pass, not.$50. If the board of directors can't offer another solution to increasing affordable, alternative transportation, it shouldn't reject a referendum that does. Until then, students can enjoy shelling out $3 per gallon at the gas station. The board argued that it thought students were incapable of learning the new bus pass' stipulations before voting on the issue in the spring election. The new bus pass would restrict students to using it as a parking pass evenings and weekends in the Clots only, instead of in the faculty G lots as they can now. The board has discussed the idea of a fee for more than a year. It waited until the day before the deadline to place the referendum on the ballot. If the board hadn't waited until the last minute, it could . have informed the student body of the bus pass' new rules. The AS should not use the students as a scapegoat. The students elected the board to represent us. For us to vote on every issue that comes to the table is not plausible. But if this is an issue that seems to have public support, why didn't the board put it to a public vote? Western's campus planning studio administered a transportation survey to students winter quarter and learned that 62.6 percent are willing to pay up to $20 for nighttime bus service. The board of directors should have voted to let the students decide. We can't afford gas these days, so the AS should let us vote to reduce the price we pay for public transportation.

And we quote: "Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses." â€” anonymous Tears of tequila Crying beneficial, but just won't happen BY LAUREN ALLAIN Forbidden Fruit I'm dead on- the inside. My organs still function flawlessly, but my soul feels dead and has for quite some time now. When my soul died is questionable, but it's made me realize that I no longer cry about my own life. Ever. I will freely and openly cry about anything other than my own life. The last time I cried was at the Mariners' game on opening day this year. They always start the season by someone other than a baseball player running the bases. This year, a boy who beat cancer ran them to fulfill his wish with the Make a Wish Foundation. Tears in baseball. There's no crying in baseball, especially in the pre-game festivities, but I defy the rules. The time before that was in last week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy." It choked me up so much I had to look at the ceiling and take deep breaths to avoid audibly crying. I walked to my car from the movie theater still crying after I saw "The Constant Gardener." I refuse to see movies such as "My Dog Skip" and "I Am Sam" because I've heard crying is inevitable. I cry in Hallmark stores while looking for a birthday card for my mom. But I avoid crying about my own life at all costs. I used to calm myself down to prevent tears from falling, but I don't have to tell myself to not cry anymore â€” it just comes naturally. I'm assuming if someone I love died, I would cry. But other than that, nothing seems to faze me, aside from the aforementioned cases. Take fall quarter as an example. I was spending close to 50 hours a week in the newsroom as a news editor while taking 15 credits and working 10 hours a week. When I found a guy who made me happy enough to forget about how intense my life was, I was fairly ecstatic. Then one day he decided it "didn't feel right", and ceased contact. As much as I've talked down relationships, he was a main reason I didn't break down. I knew I liked him because I shaved close to twice a week. That's a big deal. But while we were having the awkward talk ending whatever we had, I didn't shed a tear. My eyes welled at one point, but no drops fell. I shed three tears when I told my roommate what happened, but I don't think that's enough to chalk one up. The odd thing is that I wanted to cry. I felt crying would make me feel better and make him feel worse, which would be a bonus. But nothing came. I'm blaming my childhood for my current lack of tears. I used them all in preschool because I cried every day when my mom left. I even cried if my parents came to school for any reason and then left. I cried when my teacher didn't let my class out of school the minute the bell rang out of fear that my mom would leave me if I wasn't in the car right then. I wish I had known I was wasting all my good tears and should have saved them for something worthwhile. According to biochemist and tear expert Dr. William Frey, tears may remove toxins from the body since tears come out of ducts â€” similar to urination, which also removes toxins. He claims this is why most people feel better after they cry. Even if Frey's research is bogus, he's recognizing that crying often makes the crier feel significantly better. It has always made me feel better, which frustrates me because I seem to be tear-inept. Since I can't cry about my own life, I can completely avoid crying by not buying cards, watching television and staying far away from Safeco Field. Done and done. But never crying gives me a hard-ass persona, which is a far cry from the truth. I know I have feelings because they've surfaced before. Everyone close to me knows I'm generally a caring person, but for some reason the tears just aren't coming. This leads me to believe that tequila has murdered my soul. No other plausible reason exists to explain why I'm dead on the inside. I'm hoping that if I consume enough tequila my tears will turn into alcohol. I would then be one step closer to being as awesome as Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't love Raymond.

Compiledby Beckie Rosillo Charysa Beeman- Varela Junior; business Martha Asselin Senior, Fairhaven Keley Ogunmola Freshman, finance Nevermind profits, honor Nirvana's music BY ANDREW LAWRENCE The Western Front Hey advertising executives, having trouble selling that new sport utility vehicle, diet soda or Vin Diesel movie? Want it to resonate with that all-important 18 to 34- year-old demographic? Look no further. Nirvana is for sale. When lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain died in 1994, his 98 percent share of the publishing rights to Nirvana's music went to his widow, singer, actress and professional train wreck Courtney Love. She sold 25 percent of her share to Larry Mestel, former head of Virgin Records U.S., for $50 million, according to a March 30 Rolling Stone article: Love's inheritance of Nirvana's entire catalogue was the worst catastrophe to befall Nirvana after Cobain's death. Because Love owns the rights to these songs, she can legally profit from them. But there must be less damaging ways to sell the songs and less damaging people to sell them to. Love sold the rights to these socially and musically significant songs to Mestel, who said his goal is to make the copyrights to the songs more financially valuable by licensing them out to advertisers. By entrusting the future of these songs to someone who sees them as copyrights instead of impassioned art Love has put the future ofthe songs in tremendous jeopardy. Just imagine someone hearing "All Apologies" for the first time in a Hallmark ad. Mestel now has the ability to sell these songs to whatever company will pay the most to suck out the message and spit some lifeless shell back to the consumer and anyone who ever cared about the songs' meaning. While Cobain must have enjoyed selling records and making money, increasing the value of his songs through licensing and handing control of a quarter of his songs to someone from the corporate music industry he despised probably wasn't one of his dying wishes. When the band appeared on the coyer of Rolling Stone in April 1992, he wore a homemade shirt that read "corporate magazines still suck." The slogan was a play on "corporate rock still sucks," the slogan of independent record label SST, one of Cobain's favorite labels. What does this mean for Nirvana songs such as "Come As You Are," and "Mexican Seafood?" Love said in the Rolling Stone article that regardless of how advertisers use the songs, they will remain tasteful and retain the spirit of Nirvana. Managing the legacy of Nirvana became so massive that she needed a corporate partner to herald Cobain's songs into the next generation. But aside from mis sale, how has Love handled the responsibility of looking after the catalogue of one of the most important bands in music history? Pretty damWbatlry. ^" In the seven years follpwing Cobain's death, Love released no music that wasn't a live performance, even though Love controlled hundreds of unreleased songs. A set ofNirvana rarities, scheduled for release in September 2001 to coincide with the 10th anniversary ofthe band's breakthrough album "Nevermind," was put on hold six months before release because Love sued Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the former bassist and drummer of Nirvana, who helped her select the songs for the compilation. According to a 2001 open letter on Novoselic's Web site, Love doesn't care about Nirvana fans. She was using Nirvana's music as a bargaining chip for her personal gain without any regard for its musical legacy. He said she is lib-roe Mar* WeMftoose CHfttetOftlEfe using Nirvana's music as a pawn in her steady stream of legal battles and to nourish her obsessive hunger for publicity, fame and attention. "Nothin' really bothers her, she just wants to love herself," Cobain sings in "You Know You're Right," a recently released song about Love, according to songfacts.com, an online database of obscure facts about songs. But could this deal really be that bad? If licensees tastefully use the songs, it could indeed help expose many new listeners to this historical band. Releasing or re-releasing songs on compilations could be beneficial to listeners who do not have me time or desire to acquire ~ all of Nirvana's previous work. The haunting "Something in the Way" effectively illustrates the main character's near breakdown in the 2005 film "Jarhead," to the benefit of both song and screen. Using Nirvana's songs appropriately in film and television shows can add another dimension to bom. Cobain's songs could also promote causes he championed, such as women's rights. But with Love's drug problems, colossal legal bills and nonexistent music career, it's obvious that she didn't make this deal with Nirvana's best interests in mind. Love has starved the corporate world of these songs for the last decade, and when it comes running to Mestel for a slice of the Nirvana pie to use in its next mindless big budget movie, will he turn down a million dollars for "Heart Shaped Box?" He sure as hell didn't pay $50 million just to put these songs on the shelf. Nirvana fans would not stand for using "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to sell the deodorant ofthe same name. But music lovers probably thought the same thing before Michael Jackson let Nike use The Beatles' "Revolution" to successfully sell millions of shoes in 1986. Regardless of her intentions, Love made a mistake in entrusting a significant portion of some ofthe most important music ofthe last 20 years to someone aiming to create more value for the copyrights.

Sept. 24, 1956 didders Downed Saturday Western Scores On80-Yard Push BY JOHN BETROZOFF It was a case of too much beef and experience to buck lastSaturday night when the Western Vikings opened their 1956 campaign against the talent-ladenLewis and. Clark Pioneers at Battersby Field. The Portland club went home with a 31-7 victory. Briefoffensive spurts showed future possibilities for the green Se-home eleven and their multiple offense.The split T and double wing clicked well at times with Bruce. Randall and Bill Karawacki leading theway. The Pioners battered the Viking forward wall all night, combining the running with a superb aerialattack. Western battled back to stop several LC thrusts but the power-packed backfield finally took its toll. Things went bad from the start for the Viks. Western recovered their opening kickoff on the LC 16-yard line, but the Viks were offside on the kickoff. Western then stopped the Pioners dead after thesecond kick only to have the LC punt fumbled on the Viking 18. Lewis and Clark took it over from thenine after four plays. In the second quarter, Western's (Continued on Page 4) Weldon Lamb, freshman,enters the first time. â€¢ gt;. ,Â«; \^ college life and Highland Hall for Plan Student Leader Camp A fullweekend conference is slated for Western student leaders in the middle of October.

It hasbeen very inspiring since last Thursday observing so many new students, freshmen and transfers,' busy.completing their registrations and orienting themselves to a new educational environment, and so manyreturning students completing their registrations. Three years ago only 1288 students were on thiscampus^ It is predicted that approximately 2000 will enroll this fall. This, if it takes place, is both atremendous responsibility and a significant opportunity for all of us. If our standards are to be upheld,cooperation between faculty and staff and the student hpdy will be required this year as never before.Our tradition of friendly relationships, mutual understanding, and democracy must be maintained. As weemerge frojn, the small college classification, we are anxious that we retain the spirit and atmosphere ofthe small college, which if wre do, our interest in the individual student will be continued. : I , .; - \ \ \.

EntranceTotal Expected to Surpass 2000 New Men's Dorm Opens Doors to Accommodate Some of RecordTotal Western enrollment was expected to spiral to an all-time high this week as returning studentsbegan arriving today on the heels of freshmen and transfers whoN have just finished their Welcome Week indoctrination. A helping hand in one of the biggest problems created by this overflowâ€”housingâ€”wasoffered as the newly-finished MRH addition opened its doors to 100 men. Highland Hall, brand newaddition to MRH, opened its doors for the first time last week, with accommodations for 109 men.Forty-eight rooms in a two-story U-shape building greeted arrivals as they began pouring inWednesday. Features of the rooms were built-in wardrobes and desks, along with" other conveniences of modern residence halls. The base of the U-shape houses a lounge, storage room, an apartment forthe house mother and a central laundry room. SOUTH OF MRH Located in a grove of trees just south of MRH, the new annex features a combination of wood siding and brick. The building was designed byLeonard Bindon, Seattle architect. At a total cost of approximately $325,000, including architect's fees, sales tax, furnishings and miscellaneous expenses, construction began on the addition in early1956, so it would be completed in time for arrival of fall quarter entrants. Other halls were filled, too, assome of the houses near campus began turning away students as early as last week. Approximately120 mechanical arrivals found, however, that they would not have to be turned out on the streets. Roomfor that many cars is now available (exclusive of the black-top area) with the opening this summer ofthe parking area in front of Edens Hall. Population at Western was expected to topple all records ashundreds of new students finished registering and old students began returning to campus for finalregistration, this week. "Most of us are betting it will hit something over 2,000," Donald Ferris,registrar, told the Collegian. Twenty-three per cent more students had pre-registered last Springquarter than the year before, his office has indicated. And in August over six hundred freshmen hadapplications on file, while two hundred transfers were recorded. Fees, forms and frustrations metfreshmen last week as their welcome week procedure began. Assemblies to instruct, assemblies toacquaint and assemblies to inform were only part of the three-day schedule of events that includedplacement tests, automobile tours of Bellingham, counseling, registration, newcomers* dances,aptitude tests and preference records for the all-time high number of frosh and transfers. The final flood-wave of humans was expected today as returning students arrived to complete registration beforeclasses begin tomorrow. They arrived in time for the last stages of the welcome ceremonies whichincluded an all-student assembly at 10 a. m. today and an open house for all students, sponsored byAWS, which begins at 2:30 and extends through 4 this afternoon. Schedule for Returning $tudent$tHundreds of old students arrive today for the completion of their registration before classes begintomorrow.

You are wondering if you have chosen the right place to "spend the mostimportant four years of yptif Ufe. And we, the experienced ancients, the greybeard juniors and seniors(and even the sophomores) are being looked to as fountains of knowledge pertaining to the folklore andlegend surrounding Old Western.

And if it is, it's only one of the many features emcee BuzzLawrence is planning for the streamlining of Western's own student radio program, Viking Turntable. With a new format, hew organization and completely new style, Viking Turntable takes to the airbeginning October 6 on station KPUG. Every Saturday night from 9:30 to 11:30 (except whenbroadcast of Western football games are carried by that station), KPUG will broadcast the programplanned and emceed by Western students. "Anything and everything will be included" on the program,emcee Lawrence said. "We welcome requests. If they want to hear popular music, we'll play it . . . ifthey want to hear Brahms, we'll play it . . . even if they request Elvis, we'll play it." â€¢ Interviews ofstudents working on campus events, appearing in campus productions; interviews on controversialcampus issues and interviews of personalities in the news will be part of the program.

A bad pass from center gave Lewis and Clark its second TD, taking over from the Vik 20,making it 13-0 at halftime. Western provided the first action to open the second half, an 80-yardtouchdown jaunt, climaxed by a beautiful 46-yard pass and run play from Randall to Karwacki. Theextra point was added by Karwacki making it 13-7, the closest the Vikings could get the rest of thenight. Lewis and Clark then went to work for two touchdowns in the third quarter. One came on anintercepted pass and the other on a Viking fumble on the local's 35. The Portland outfit wrapped upscoring for the night with a final tally in the final period. Bruce Randall and LC's Gene Flippin were takenout of the ball game in the third after a brief game of fisticuffs. The temper tantrum came following a 29-yard pass play that put the ball on Western's two-yard stripe. Flag Football Starts Monday Through the tremendous success of the intramural flag football program last fall, the PE director, Ray Ciszek, hasannounced plans for an even bigger league this fall. First game is tentatively scheduled for next Monday, Oct. 1. Individuals are urged to get teams lined up immediately. Persons lining up the teams can getentry blanks from Jack Hubbard at his office in the PE Building. The directors have not set a maximum on the number of teams. Nine teams were entered in the league last year, according to Ciszek. Heexpects that number to be topped because of the interest shown last fall in the games. Two fields will be used for the flag schedule which will run over a three week period. FLOWERS Ph. 4999 for everyoccasion Bay Champion WANT TO START EATING AGAIN?

He wasnamed head coach after the resignation of Charles Lappenbusch, who served 23 years at the post. Anex-Minnesota center on three championship teams, one a national championship, Kulbitski has coached high school and college teams. His high school squads never finished lower than second. One of histeams took the Minnesota state champion-, ship in 1949. The -new Viking gridmaster was, head froshcoach under Wes Pesler at Minnesota in 1952-3. He also scouted for the varsity and assisted in track."My objective is to have the kind of team the Western Washington students, community, and alumni will be proud to support," was Kul-bitski's reply when questioned about the new job. A Michigan Stateoffensive pattern, using the double wing, will be used by the new mentor. He will use the T-formationand single wing with all its variations.

The field has narrowed to approximately 60 butKulbitski looks for more grid-ders when school opens this week. "We worked on a lot of fundamentalsearlier," stated Kulbitski, "and we used new defensive and offensive formations. These formationsare entirely new to the boys but I have been very satisfied with the progress they are making." The newmentor has been experimenting at the end position where he is a little short in depth. He is alsojuggling the backfield assignments to get the best combination. Injuries? A major item in last year'sinitial turnouts, Kulbitski has been fortunate so far with no major injuries. Sophomore Dick Brozovich, anew man on the Vik squad, suffered a pulled leg muscle last week but will be in action Saturday.Monte Bianchi and Rod Schott were out a couple days with the flu last week. Coach Kulbitski issued acall for all persons interested in turning out as he is organizing a junior varsity eleven. Games will bescheduled for the JV outfit. By JOHN BETROZOFF Here we are with a new year to work with. I want to welcome all the new students to Western Washington and to welcome back all the returning students.We "oldtimers" hope you new students have enjoyed your first few days at Western. You have a jump onthe returning students in seeing the Vik football team already, (whether you were impressed ordepressed is another matter). 1955-56 ROUNDUP NOT TOO BRIGHT Briefly summing up the sportworld of last year: A last Th football, tied for last in basketball, second in baseball, second in track,second in golf, eliminated in conference tennis meet, and most importantâ€”a championship inswimming. Not too impressive but that is the record. In defense, it actually wasn't that bad, consideringall the close games and superb performances the Viks put on at times. The only trouble was that there weren't enough times. It was a messed up year. CONTROVERSARY ALL YEAR AT WESTERN This isthe first year the student body has appropriated funds for-athletic scholarships. Sounds funny in â€¢ lightof all the coast league-scandals on athletic funds. Nevertheless, the coaches were slowly being"squeezed" out of the picture. They got no support to speak of. Then all heck broke loose last yearâ€”theBOC set up athletic funds. Parties", immediately tried to block the funds. They wanted the students tovote-on the funds, thinking it would never carry. Well, it carried unanimously; In fact, it passedtwiceâ€”they had to hold the election twice because someone stuffed the ballot box. "It wasn't thesporting thing to do" if I may borrow a quote. FOOTBALL SQUAD LOOKS OKâ€”SEE MORE FIRSTKinda early to praise or predict on our football squad, but r don't think we have to worry about our newcoach. Kulbitski is a really sincere man who has had a lot of experience in coaching. The squad likeshim, Let's wait a week or two before we praise or predict. We can mention a few things, however. Forthose who didn't eyeball the program at the game Saturday (everyone went I hope), here are a few facts.Letterman Ed Melbourne, tackle, tips the heaviest scale at 235. There are: five lightest men at 160:Dwayne Lane, Jim Gard, Bill Karwacki, Ralph Hilt, and Louie McCord. All new faces on the Vik fold.There are 21 freshmen on the squad.

Watched Him OK The opposition's halfback was running wild against the home squad so the coach sent in a young safety man to watch him.

Later, the separate classes will select their classbeauties to compete for H.C. princesses and Queen; and the chosen ones will reign at all H.C. affairsafter being installed at the Coronation Assembly on November 2. Organized houses are urged by theco-chairmen to begin thinking about their skits and house displays. These skits, after passing a facultyand student elimination, will be presented to the students, faculty, and alumni, as well as totownspeople, at the College Auditorium following} the pep rally, parade, and bonfire. Our returningalumni will be welcomed at a Coffee Hour and Smorgasbord on Saturday, November 3. They will thrillat the exciting moments . offered on Saturday afternoon as the Western Vikings play host to theEastern Savages in the Homecoming football game. Rain, or shine, the grandstands will be packedwith students, alumni and faculty, all cheering our new team on to victory. Climax of the weekend and awelcome sight to the new weary co-chairmen is a formal dance in honor of the Queen. A well knownband, to be announced later, will provide the music as everyone dances in the beautifully decoratedArmory. It's a pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to WWCE and to wish you well in yourstay at Western. I am certain that within just a short time you will be considering this your second home.

Attend as many of these as possible; *â€”z â€”- -T_ it will make your stay here much moreenjoyable. You will have opportunity to become members of many different clubs and organizations.In your search for activities that interest you be sure to include' your student government at Western. It is a very fine organization. Although at the present time you (freshmen) can't run for the BOCpositions, you can take an active part by serving on committees and here Vice-President Tells ofStudent Activity Opportunities for Frosh Howdy, fellow college students and welcome to Western. Asyou probably already know ^Vestern prides itself with being the friendliest school on the Coast. Isincerely* hope you have found it that way, thus far. As the year rolls by you will come to realize yourself how fortunate you were in choosing Western, but I thought this would be a good time to point out someof the things which will shape that realiza- : : tion. TOP PROFS Probably the main reason you came to college was a quest for knowledge. The professors at Western are at the top of the list. Many of themhave received national,acclaim as being tops in their fields. College life is more than just keeping upwith your studies. You are here to develop more than just a sound vocabulary. A n intelligent, well -rounded, social being is what college strives to put out. For this purpose we have at Western a wealth of extra-curricular activities. MANY OPPORTUNITIES For those interested in publi- LITTLE MAN ONCAMPUS By Bibler Yes, He Is Indeed... is where much of the actual work is done. If you are interestedin committee work come to the student center and Joel Carlson or myself will .be glad to talk withyou. Avail yourself of the many opportunities here and I'm certain your .stay will be a pleasant one.KEN MOFFETT , President," ASWWCE "Andâ€”if you join our 'club' you have the opportunity to enjoy areal unique spirit of friendliness with the sorority next door" cations we have a weekly paper, an annualand many smaller publications w h e r e freshmen are welcome to join the staffs. For those interested inspeaking, freshmen are welcome to join our forensics teams which have won tournamentsthroughout the state and Northwest. As far as athletics goes Western has always been in thereplugging. With a new football coach and basketball coach new last year, it looks like an interestingseason for athletics. In baseball Western always shines. Those who would like to play, contact thecoaches; those who don't can help Western go in sports by backing up the- team to the hilt. For thosewho don't like varsity and cheering, there is a vast intramural program. A raft of clubs, varying fromscientific to athletic, awaits the freshman. The fees you paid at registration are used for and by you. TheBoard of Control, y o u r student representatives, spends this money as the governing body ofstudents. You have a financial interest in student government at Western and are asked to take anactive interest in it. Even freshmen may file and run for the Board of Control. NO HISTORY CLASSStudent government at Western is more than a class for history students. It is the governing body of the studentsâ€”who, last year, set plans for the financing of a Student Union Building; it is agoverning body which provides for, and supports, varsity athletics, forensics and student publications.Western is a combination of many things. I hope you catch the spirit of this college fast and that youcan develop yourself into the type of citizen, professional person, and parent, you want to be. It's up to you. JOEL CARLSON Vice-president, ASWWCE HE has tramped through sixteen dozen registrationlines, had the traditions, codes and customs of Western blared at him from publications, podiums andperspiring people, who with effusive outpourings of welcome and waves of smiles, have either soaked orsunk him with the idea that he is indeed . . . HE has stood in line until his feet ache^has signed cardsand papers until his fingers falter and has read so much -printed matter that his eyes are ready to close.And now HIS trembling fingers and bloodshot eyes come to rest on this last piece of propagandacalculated to convince him that he is indeed . . . Yes, HE is the weary freshman, who will find thatcollege is no frolic and no funeral. Who will find that he won't be pushed, pampered or pressed intolearning. Who will have more freedom of choice than high school has ever offered and will find itnecessary to depend upon himself and his own resources more than ever before. HE will soon knowWestern-for what it is. That is the green grass, the weathered traditions, the human professors, theinhuman assignments, the unlimited opportunities in student affairs and government, the good times, thebad times, the clubs and organizations that will anticipate him and seek him out to the ends of the*campus. And after he knows that Western is for him he will be even more impressed that he is indeed . .. But HE is tired now. The tests have found things in him that he never knew he had, and taken more from him than he had to. offer. He has met so many people that tomorrow he will walk up to many of themand, embarrassingly, ask them for their names again. He will wander the halls in a daze for a few weeks,but when he recovers he will be able to stand before a Senate investigating committee and rattle off hisname, address, place of birth, parents' names, occupation, and age, like a teletype machine. Buttomorrow he begins to become a part of this^ new thing called collegeâ€”and the tomorrow after that hewill be an indespensable part of it. Several tomorrows from now HE will find HIMSELF writing inpublications, standing on podium and smiling profusely in a concentrated effort to let an- â€¢ \Y/CI("*{"}AA E other new freshman know I l V C L . v * w / r lC that he is indeed c I Tests Mag Be Beneficial,But Moaning, Groaning Still Heard BY CAROL JENSEN Woe betide the poor frosh. He's been oncampus only a few days and already he feels tested to death. The only words of consolation upperclassmen can offer is "You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until finals week." The tests freshmen-havetaken or will take, are strictly for their benefit. The results will help the student and his counselor planhis college career in line with his abilities and interests. CHANGE ATTITUDE There is a major change in college attitude regarding two test results. These are the English and math tests. The College feels that the student should enter school with a certain basic knowledge of these two fields. Those whodon't meet these standards will have three quarters to clear their deficiency. For the first time aregistration fee of $5 will be charged for English 3 and Math. 3, both non-credit courses. This move-isto help remove some of the b u r d e n of expenses of the College for material the student should havegotten in high school. TESTS OMITTED In the interest of streamlining the tests, the Nelson-DennyReading test has been omitted. It was a repeat of much of the material in other tests. The KuderPreference Record demonstrates the major areas of the testee's interests and is helpful in professionalcounseling. Take heart, Frosh. These tests are probably the last you will take in your college careerthat won't require burning the midnight oil.

Observing them during practice the other day, they had real snap and quality.NOTE OP INTEREST: the gym has a new floorâ€”that's why the dance last Saturday night was a sock-hop.

They made their initial appearance at Saturday morning's assembly, playing three numbers . . . sound like a moving group. Buzz Lawrence of "Viking Turntable" (KPUGâ€”Sat. 9:30-11:30 p. m.) tells us he now has a two hour show.

Meredith enrolled in theUniversity of Mississippi in the fall of 1962, despite strong \ protests from Mississippi Governor RossBarnett and full-scale riots in which two people were killed. At that time, the Federal GOV: ernmentfound it necessary to send in troops to protect Mere^ dith and insure his enrollment in the University, aswell as to curb the volence that resulted in Oxford, Mississippi. Eventually this guard was replaced by asmall contingent of U. S. Marshall. Admission to the Meredith address will be 50 cents. JamesMeredith Westernites May Get Station Soon By John R. Stolpe The prospect of Western operating aradio station has been oh the drawing board for two years, and work is still being done in the hopes thatthis station may soon come to be a working, producing, educating reality, according to Mark Flandersof the Speech Department. The idea calls for operating a low-wattage radio station somewhere oncampus. It will probably broadcast from the third floor of Old Main since there are certain existingfacilities there which would be quite expensive to relocate. The radio-television committee, headed byFlanders is probing through the many ^ifs" involved. If the application! for transmission to the Federal'Communications Commissionu(FCC) is accepted; if the necessary equipment can be allocated; if the permanently loaned FM transmitter can be adapted; if the committee approves the entire idea,and if the project receives the necessary support of the college, its students and administrators, thenWestern may get its radio station.

Final touches are being ' a d d e d this week to a quest i o n n a i r e designed to find out w h a t types of programming Western s t u d e n t s pref e r . { The taskof preparing and ^d- Jministering the questionnaire, 'plus tabulating the results, has been undertaken bythe Program Research Advisory Committee, headed by Howard Tins-ley. The committee is beingassisted by Thomas Steinburn of the Sociology- Anthropology Department. The questionnaire includes questions on movies, music programming, lecture, dance and special entertainment. The questions are simple according to Tinsley, and "there are no right or wrong answers."- The main objectives ofthe survey are to find out how well students like present programs, how they would like to changethem, and to get some idea's on what students would like to see. THE COMMITTEE hopes to achievetheir goal, according to Tinsley, by administering the questionnaire to a select group of from 200 to 300students. Each student will be representing approximately 20 other students from his category. vStudent samples are being drawn at random from IBM cards. They will be divided into nine categories.These categories include married students, upper class single men living both in dorms and off campus,under class single men living both in dorms and off: campus* upper class single women living both indorms and off campus and underclass single women living in dorms. "It is easy to find out what themajority wants," Tinsley said, "but this will help us find out what the minorities on campus f want so wecan program for them too." Tinsley also said he hoped the survey would help his committee to take anobjective look at; all existing programs and to see how they might improve them. The samples weredrawn this week, and by the end of next week, students should receive notification if their names were selected.

ACCORDING to the irate frosh, legislators and theElection Board violated the Constitution by allowing The Collegian, Western's newspaper, toannounce the results of last week's freshman election.. As. Miller noted, the Constitution statesthat results of .all elections shall be posted immediately after tabulation and within 24 hours. Bywaiting for the Collegian, results were delayed several hours, Miller noted, and the Constitution was thusviolate.

Sympathy wasexpressed-- for Negro African leaders by Vernon Serl of the Sociology-Anthropology Department in the second Book of the Quarter session Monday. SPEAKING IN reference to one chapter on Africanproblems found in James Baldwin's "Nobody Knows My Name," Serl noted-. "I- really am sorry forAfrican leaders." f To explain, he added, "They're not sure of what they can or want to do or what theirpeople will accept." "Bad as this is/' he. continued, "I don't see how it can be otherwise with thesystem they're in." _In explaining the African system Serl had previously noted that the Africanleaders, like all who lead "oppressed masses," have to rely on their personal qualities to get to the "top"politically. "THIS," he noted, "is because in Africa the long existence of an external authority hasprevented the growth of a conception of common interest and common goals." "In the absence of this conception," he continued, "the only way a politician can create loyalty is through devotiondirected at him since any other loyalty (i.e., to country) has yet to develop." *i " "In time," he noted,"this con: centration of power on the individual will shake down into a fixed stable structure, buff fornow that power rests entirely upon the leader." Commenting on other problems faced by the Africanleaders, Serl noted that most of them are produced in a Western society which "may make it impossible for them to understand the feelings and aspirations of their followers since said followers have notbeen subjected to Western goals and values." Following Serf's lecture, Western's chief librarian,William Scott, announced that a panel discussion would continue discussion of Baldwin's book at 3p. m. Monday in LB-3.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Western legislators got their handsslapped Monday for using the Collegian letters page to air their criticisms of one another. At least wethink they were spanked, we don't know. ' About 4:30 Monday afternoon during a typically heatedsession of Western?s own Legislature, Ralph Munro pulled out a copy of The Collegian, turned to theletters page and called for a Committee of the Whole (COW). During a COW everybody but thelegislators, the chairman and the advisors to t he group must leave the room. The clandestineproceedings in the COW a re regarded as confidential and the Big "L" people are s#orn to secrecyâ€”inblood. An official messenger later informed The Collegian that the Blazermen decided that TheCollegian letters page should not be used as an airing grounds for personal conflicts among thelegislators themselves. The Legislature claims to represent the interests of the students. Thestudents who attended the opening minutes of the meeting must not have been very interestedâ€”none of them returned after the COW. What actually transpired during t he COW must be left to speculation.We believe that as soon as t he doors were closed and the shades drawn Dr. Lawrence Brewster,parliamentary advisor to the Big "L" and member of t he gt;- Speech Department, stood up and madean eloquent, laudatory oration cpmplfc meriting The Collegian on i ts unbiased coverage of t he Speechand Drama Department during winter and spring quarter 1963. Of course we can't be sure that Dr.Brewster made Lthese comments. Since the COW's proceedings are confidential we can onlyspeculate. We think that the Legislature agreed with Brewster's stand and voted unanimously topersonally compliment the paper on its fair and accurate presentation of Legislature actions. TheBlazermen went on to commend the paper for presenting the real truth about' student government.They admitted that they didn't represent students on campus and praised The Collegian for pointingthis fact out to Westernites. Again this may not have happened at all; We are only speculating since thelegislators swear themselves to secrecy every time they go into a COW. But, even if they refuted ourspeculations they would be breaking that sacred, trust which binds all honorable student leaders. â€¢ ' - It warms our hearts to think that Dr. Brewster and t he legislators are such staunch supporters of t h ecampus paper â€” even if government at Western i s just one big sacred COW.^Richard MSimmons;keep chips piled high Western's ASB poker table is piled high with chips after the recent SmothersBrothers performance. The chips amounted to $1,664.65 after expenses, according to Mike Boring,program vice-president. Unlike the Josh White, the Four Freshmen, and the Duke Ellingtonpresentations last year which ended up in the red, the Smothers Brothers went over with a bigfinancial "bang." Whether or not Boring arid his associates were lucky or not with this financialsuccess, we would like to commend Boring, the Program Council and their assistants for making thisthe first financial success in many months at Western for a concert of this nature. We would also like tocommend Boring on his idea of waiting patiently, rather than moving hastily, when bookingentertainers. We agree with him that last year's entertainers were probably hasty, and appealed tosome people, but didn't appeal to enough people to warrant their appearance on Western's campus. We feel that Boring, the speculator, should continue playing his cards a ny way he chooses as long as h eretains a winning hand and keeps the chips piled high on the ASB poker table.â€”Ray Burke. -- â€¢".- ' ;T : i Â£ i fi â€” MOW TK^T WASN'T e gt;UO\ A HAt?P T^T, WAÂ£ IT?"

Last year I served asbasketball manager for Xtoach Chuck Randall. I was required to wear sport coat, white shirt, tie andslacks so that I was representing WWSC as was thought proper by the Physical EducationDepartment. In this regard, I believe it is the responsibility of the football coaching staff to dress properly. I think the assistant coaches should be congratulated on the formal dress they have been wearing.The head coach, Dr. Lounsber-ry, should also be required to wear appropriate clothing. His coachingprocedures during the football game are part of his teaching duties. I do riot believe the "bus-driver"pants, he now wears during the game are proper in relation to his job and the policy of the PhysicalEducation Department and that correction of this matter would reflect approval towards thedepartment.

A spectacular pass interceptionby Bill Nelson, freshman half-. â€¢ back, deep in Western's own territory and a 15-yard unnecessaryroughness penalty against Eastern set up the winning TD. On the following play, Terry Parker hitfreshman end Rod Campbell on a 43-yard pass and run play for six points. Dick Nicholl kicked the PAT,making the final score 13-7. Eastern was first to score after powering down field in the first quarter on an eight-play, 45-yard drive. Mel Stanton, sophomore halfback, ran around end for eight yards to-score.Don Shove kicked the extra point. With one minute left in the first half, Steve Richardson, freshmanhalfback, intercepted a Jerry Garcea pass. A combination of penalties and passing advanced the Viks to the Savage two-yard line. Nicholl lunged for one and then Parker went through the middle for the TD.The conversion attempt was wide. Parker had almost all the pass protection he needed, led by juniorguard Gene Fry. The heavy rushing of the defensive unit was effective in stopping the passing prowess of Lee Grichuhin. Quick thinking on the part of Dick Layzell was typical of Western's alertness in thegame. Layzell, punting from the 35 scooped up a bad snap from center amidst a field of Savages andgot off a fast punt that rolled dead" on the Savage eight yard line.

It seems that the big Knights from Tacoma have just a littlepower and they want to tell the world about it. They have players all up and down the west coast andhave even imported a 6'8" skyscraper from Sweden. The Knights are proud of their three All-Americancandidates and their 11 letterm-en. Since there are only five men on the starting team, it might be hardfor the PLU coaches to pick the better of the best for their select start. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ The Knights appear to be in an outstanding position to cop the Evergreen Conference title and perhaps even a crack at theNAIA championship, but bigger upsets have taken place in the always tough Evergreen loop.

Highland Hall, 40 strong,invaded the Campus School field for the intramural tug-o-war only to find it devoid of. any otherdormitory group to compete against. If not a physical victory, Highland Hall at least posted a moralwin over their lacadaisical counterparts. The intramural department regrets that it has but one crock ofcider to give to Highland Hall. In the independent division, a hardy group from Hansen Hall automaticallywon the five gallons, of cider by being the only team to show.

ONE DAY SHIRT SERVICE! ---------- Collegian - 1963 November 1 - Page 8 ---------- PAGE EIGHT THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1963 Lake Whatcom Project Most Detailed Of Its Kind By Ray Burke Western's Lake Whatcom project carried on by Western's, I n s t i t u t e for F re s h Water Studies h a s been called t h e most detailed study of i t s k i n d i n t h e world. Dr. GeraldKraft, of the Biology Department and director of the project, explained that this meant that the project isconcerned with more than just one study. "As far as we know, more data has been gathered in thiskind of project than in any other in the world. "The project has recently branched out into a morebiological field of study than at first. At first the project was concerned with purely physical andchemical measurements of the lake. Now, for example, Miss Leona Sundquist, of the BiologyDepartment, is studying the lake's plants, while Dr. Benjamin G. Chitwood is studying nematodeworms, he explained. The institute's research" work may soon be of some definite assistance to thecity of Belling-harri, which draws its water from the lake. How relatively healthy is Lake Whatcom?"Most of the lake is in good shape, but at least a part of it is marginal. Something will have to be donesoon," Kraft predicted. "There are large concentrations of human waste products where houses arelocated on the lake. "NOTHING IS now being done to deliberately counteract these wasteconcentrations other than the chlorinating of Bellingham's water."' The Nooksack River, at the south end of Lake Whatcom where the city of Bellingham draws its water supply, may change the lake in thefuture. "Some of the milky colloidal substances in the Nooksack's glacial water may have long rangeeffects on the lake's temperature, plants and animals," Kraft said. The institute's reasearch work,done by Kraft and his assistants, has aided Washington's State Department of Game, located at theWhatcom Falls Fish Hatchery, " near Lake Whatcom. The Department of Game had been taking itswater from the lowest layer of the lake*. Western's institute advised them that they should take thewater from near the surface. In the past they have had to move the fish from the hatchery during thesummer months because there wasn't enough oxygen for them.in the water. Fish need a very largepercentage of oxygen. Now that the game department has moved the water intake supply to an areaby Bloe-del Donovan Park and near the lake's surface, the fish can be kept in the hatchery the entireyear. Discussions To Continue Dr. H e r b e r t G. K a r i e l of Western's Geography Dep a r t m e n t r e c e n 11 y announced t h a t plans a r e under way t o continue the g e o g r a p h y discussion group. "This year we're giving the students more responsibility in running the discussion groups.Faculty members will more or less serve as advisors," Kariel said. Topics of discussion will varythroughout the year and include such subjects as the wheat trade with the Soviet Union and its' effects; The next seminar will deal with problems, both economic and political, in Australia. Arthur, Rose, afaculty member from the University of Canberra, will head the informal discussion. The geographydiscussion group will hold meetings at 7:30 every other Thursday in the Map Room, room 20 in OldMain. Students interested in this type of a program are encouraged to attend these sessions.Students directly responsible for the group will be Roger Barenz, Bob Spanselner, Scotty Cinimo andDave Boeringa.

They will take their own lunches and cups, and will be met at the trail by the packer, who will take in their personal equipment. Leaving- Wednesday noon, the packer, the cook, Miss Ruth Weyth-man, and the work crew, plus the food, will hike in to set up camp and get the cobin in order. Fleda Whitten will be the cook, ably filling the one requirement of the job —that she be a good one. There will be a few K. P. duties for individuals, but only a few. Dinner will be waiting for the party at Kulshan cabin when they reach there Thursday evening. The first of three big campfire programs will be held that night, with singing, games, and tall-tale-telling predominating. The itinerary of the trip includes a hike up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, the Mount Baker summit climb on Saturday, with meadow and glacier trips for those who remain at the cabin, and the trip out Sunday.v The party will be made up of both seasoned hikers and inexperienced people. Don Coss, a member of the Mount Baker hiking club, will accompany the party, and C. A. Fisher, assisted by Chet Ullin, will lead the summit climb A short meeting was held Monday afternoon to instruct hikers concerning clothes and other dunnage, and to examine their shoes. Sunday, after a huge breakfast, the party will return, with four days of sunshine, gorgeous scenery, outdoor life and companionship, good food, and a whole .mountain, tucked away in their memories—all for $5. Baker Memorial Selected By Irene Fyhn Consisting of alpine plants and basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region a landscape group has been chosen as the memorial for the six students who died in the Mount Baker tragedy last summer. It is felt by the committee who have chosen this form of memorial, that bringing the alpine beauty from the Mount Baker region will be a fitting memorial for these students, Beulah Lindberg, Alice James, Hope Weitman, Julius Dornblut, Vene Fisher, and Maynard Howatt, all of whom died on Mount Baker. Nobel Hoggson, Seattle landscape architect, has ' gt;. prepared complete drawings of the ^proposed memorial. It is to be located near the path going up Sehome hill between the Science wing of the main building and Edens hall. Garden Setting Columns of basaltic rock will form the central motif around whichNwill be grouped alpine plants in their natural rock garden setting. Around the memorial itself will be a basalt rock seat, giving an amphitheater effect. On the basaltic columns will be placed bronze name-plates with the names of the students for whom the memorial is erected. The committee, which consists of both students and faculty members, reports that the U. S. forestry service has consented to the removal of the basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region, and the CCC has offered to bring the rock to the campus. Funds necessary for the building of this memorial have been subscribed by friends of the deceased, and between 1300 and $400 are available. The committee states, however, that it may become -necessary to solicit additional funds from the students attending WWC, but the committee hopes that this will not be necessary. It is the plan now to get the work well under way by the end of summer. VOL. XXXIX—NO. 3? Western Washington College of Education^Bellingham, Washington Wednesday, July 3, 1940 Headquarters For Mount Baker Climb Hayes Teaches Flute Lessons To Daughter As Hobby By Lela Kaufman "My hobby right now is trying to teach my daughter to play the flute,'' said Mr. Creighton E. Hayes, social science teacher of West Seattle high school, who is pihch-rHttihgfor Dr. GrimTfor thesummer session of the training school. He spends the week-end with his family at his summer home on the Stillaguamish river where his wife and daughter, Beatrice Jean, stay when they are not taking care of the lawn at their Seattle home. As yet the flute teaching has been indifferently successful, and Beatrice Jean is still just an excellent piano player for a 12-year-old. Interested in the history of Asia and Central America, Mr. Hayes offers an elective course entitled History of the Pacific Rim to seniors at West Seattle high school. For one semester they orient themselves to a study of Russia, Japan, China, and the Pacific islands; for the next they study the history of Mexico, Central America, and Canada. He finds that most of the people he meets are quite ignortant regarding the history of these nations which he thinks will become increasingly important to Americans, especially dwellers of the Pacific coast. One of his ambitions is to visit United States' neighbors about which he reads and thinks so much. Asked about his other interests, the young - looking, gray - haired instructor smiled and said, "That's about all. Occasionally I play a very mediocre game of golf and once in a while I crawl up with fear and trembling on a horse." Having received his undergraduate education at Washington state college at Pullman, Mr. Hayes, has, ACE Plans Lunch At Edens Hall WWC's Association for Childhood Education has planned a luncheon to be held next Wednesday, July 10, at 12:00 noon in the Edens hall club-room off the main dining hall. Informal talks will be given by students from various ACE groups both in and outside the state. ACE members and .anyone interested in primary education, are invited to attend. Tickets may still be obtained for 35 cents at noon today in the main hall, and. also next Monday at noon and from 2:00 to 4:30 p. m. July 8, 9, and 10, there will be a display in the main hall of ACE publications including the "Childhood Education" mag«*me and various pamphlets. Anyone wishing to purchase any cad of these publir cations iWf do so at this time. as he expressed it, "Kind of smat-tered my education over the Pacific coast." He has studied at Stanford, University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. A typical Washingtonian, and proud of it, he was born in Olympia. All of his teaching has been in Washington, much of it at Lincoln high school in Seattle. Somewhat overwhelmed by an interview to which there was no word limit, he kept declaring that there was nothing about him to make good reading, that this was the first time anyone had cared about the life of a simple school teacher. He volunteered . that one of his most vivid impressions of Bellingham has been the way everyone has gone out of his way to make it easy for a newcomer. Mr. Hayes visited Dr. Grim this spring to learn what the program was to be. Then Dr. Grim spent the first week of summer school doing all he could to make his work easier. "Of course it isn't necessary for everyone to be so kind, but i appreciate it," Mr. Hayes said. Twelve More Get Positions Twelve more students have been assigned positions through the appointment bureau as reported by Miss Hopper. They are the following: Ralph DeBruler, Ocean City, fifth to the eighth; Helen Griffith, Lake Burien, music; Leonard Rod-land, Bay Center, seventh and eighth; Alice Molenkamp, Sedro- Woolley, seventh and eighth; Kenneth Bernet, Sultan, seventh and music; Blanche Campau^ Sultan, fifth; Eleanor Wfflison, Oak Harbor, third;,Jean•Cowie, Marysvffle- Shoultes school, first to third; Marie Beebe, Port Gamble, primary; Doris Woodcock, Sequim, sixth and sev-enth; Frank Anderson, Maple Valley, fifth and sixth; Lois Reid, Maple Valley, second and third, and music. Eighty-six Students Take Mantoux Tests on Monday Mantoux tests were given, to 86 summer students Monday morning between 10 o'clock and 12. They were administered in the college health department by Dr. Earle Gibb of the Gibb clinical laboratory and assisted by. Miss Dorothy Run-die, nurse. Miss May Meade- had general charge of the procedure, with Miss Helen Hostetter and Miss Nadine Toler secretaries. The college bears all costs of the tuberculosis indicating tests. Many took advantage of this opportunity because a state law requires that each teacher have a Mantoux test. Wednesday, 48 hours later, a follow- up reading was given by Miss Meade and Miss Rundle. Questionable cases were referred to the Gibb laboratory and all persons showing a positive reaction are required to have an X-ray follow-up. The cost of the X-rays must be taken care of by the student. Health Exams Completed Health examinations were given to approximately 400 new students. The entire first week and Monday and Wednesday of the following week were devoted to the routine inspection. Supervised by Miss May Meade, the examining was done in the PE building. . Physicians who were employed by the college health department were Drs. William C. Keyes, Donald C. Keyes, Howard C. Keyes, C. L. Long-streth, F. C. Rykken, and A. M. Son-neland. Only two students were eliminated from enrollment because of ill •health. "The students as a whole are in pretty good physical shape," stated Miss Meade; ''although they need more rest." ' There are to be no general checkups of the summer health examinations, although where such cases showing a need for it, will be fol-lowed- up.. Regional Meet Draws Near Final Climax Kefauver, Ogburn Speeches Summarized; Sessions End Today By Victor Dickinson "Democracy is on trial. The threat to democracy is not all in Europe but lies chiefly in the United States and our ability to meet the challenge to make democracy work," was the key statement made by Dean Grayson N. Kefauver of Stanford University in his address before the regular assembly Tuesday morning. Dean Kefauver's speech was a part of the three-day meeting of the Educational Confer^ ence of Pacific Northwest Affairs which concluded this morning. Tells Experiences Dean Kefauver recounted his experiences in the European capitals of Paris; Berlin, Moscow, Stockholm and London, and his conferences with leading educators of these cities. Maintaining that education cannot be understood unless it is seen as a part of the social and cultural patternofc a country. Dean Kefauver searched for the social aims behind the educational system of each country he visited. He pointed out the striking contrast in the thinking of the. educational leaders of Berlin and Moscow as compared with Paris.iand London^ The importance of democracy in education was1 outlined by Dr. Kefauver who placed emphasis on the concept of democracy within a staff of teachers' democracy in student life and control of the school;j-Jde^- •-. mbcracy in the classroom andftd£^: mocracy as it affects the community. Dr. Kefauver's address ended in a note of optimism but he stated, "We haven't fully arrived in America. We need to have faith. We must capture the imagination of youth. We cannot present pessimistic faces and teach democracy. We must have trust for we cannot afford to fail.

A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION has just been concluded here at WWC. It is the first of its kind ever to be held on our campus. It marks another milestone in the college's march toward national prominence. Dr. Haggard is deserving of praise for his hard work and diligence in bringing this program to our doorstep. Many worthwhile subjects and points have been discussed and passed on to you. Do with them what you will; you are the best to judge. May the Collegian express itself as representative of the student body in thanking Dean Kefauver, Dr. Ogburn, George Yantis, Kenneth Warner, Julia Tappan, Anne Raymond, and the other prominent educators who were here, for the time they have given us. We hope that this visit will not be their last. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WAS THE RECIPIENT of an open letter on June 3 signed by thirty-five editors of college newspapers in twenty-four states throughout the country demanding that America remain at peace and that "this generation, born into the first World war, shall not die in the second." The letter was released from the national office of the American Student Union, 874 Broadway, through which the joint signatures were gathered. "Will our diplomas be turned into bayonets?" the editors ask, charging that proposed loans to the allies, the President's armament program, and his speech to the Pan-Scientific Congress "indicated clearly the road you have chosen—the Wilsonian road to war." The editors stated that they had learned a lesson from the last war and that "this nation will serve humanity best by solving the problem? of our own people, by building a forward-moving democracy, by refusing to aid and abet in any way a war which serves no justice, no people, no true progress. Walter Lippman in a current issue of the Reader's Digest expresses himself in a different frame of mind. "The only practical plan for American defense is to organize at once —with government subsidies if necessary—a vast expansion of our plants and personnel for making instruments of war. What those facilities can produce immediately we should sell to the allies. With those weapons they may be able to withstand the attack. Their successful defense will provide us with the indefinitely precious time to develop our capacity to produce adequate armaments. Then if the allies fall, we shall at least have made a start toward preparing ourselves for the emergency which will confront us." With the entry of Russia into the Balkan situation and possibly into the second World war, both of these philosophies may have their chance to rest as we grab grandstand tickets to watch two dictatorial monarchs fight their duel to the death in the arena of the world. To have a safe and sane Fourth of July—don't be insane! TEGENFELDT, WWC ALUMNI, BURKE BRINGS CLASSROOM LEAVES FOR BURMA 'FILM TO WWC Rev. Herman Tegenfeldt will leave sometime this fall for Rangoon, Burma, India, where he will be in charge of two large native high schools. Tegenfeldt was graduated from this institution in 1933, and taught for three years in the Seattle schools. He has since been graduated from the Bethel Theological seminary at St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Tegenfeldt, who attended WWC as Ruth Pierson, and their small son will also go to Burma. AMrMOVN J. W. Burke will bring the entire set of Erpi films to the college on July 15, where a program will be arranged for their showing. A list of the titles may be found in Dr. Haggard's outer office. Those interested should look over the list and make requests for those which apply to them. Paramount short subject films of a recreational-amusement nature will come sometime during the summer. There will be no charges. Opening Saturday Dear Ma: Reporter Reviews Conference By Victor Dickinson Having as its theme "The Role of Education in Utilizing Pacific Northwest Resources," the Educational conference on Pacific Northwest Affairs opened in the College auditorium Monday morning, July 1. Dr. Kenneth O. Warner, of the Northwest Regional council, spoke briefly on the trends or directions of the council's work. He stressed the implications of the many social and economic" problems of the Pacific Northwest and pointed out the need for experts on human and natural resources to refresh the thinking and determine how materials of value could be fitted into the school curriculum. Rettie Speaks' Following this short introduction James C. Rettie, Portland, senior planning technician, discussed the subject, Social and Economic.Problems. Cultivation Traced C. C. Johnson, Spokane, of the soil Conservation service traced the history of soil cultivation and development of machinery to the present day. Mr. Johnson pointed out that land in the U. S. is being destroyed at the rate of 200 forty-acre farms a day by misuse of the soil! Concluding the morning session,, George Griffith of the U. S. forest service discussed the dependence of this region on forest economy and assured his audience that under a plan of "sustained yield" management our forests should last forever. George P. Yantis of Olympia addressed the conference in its Monday evening meeting on the subject "A Challenge to the Pacific Northwest" in which he outlined the use and misuse of our material resources without thought of the future. Mr. Yantis, president of the Northwest Regional Council, pointed out that the real test of government and the economic system comes in times of' depression and economic stress. The real problems we have to deal with are those of making a living. The speaker's closing remarks dealt with the importance of meeting the challenge and building a scaffolding for the real America by the solving the problem of consumer demand.' NOW Dear Ma: Summer school ain't so bad after all. It ain't no harder to get here at 7:35 than it was at 8:05 last • quarter. There's a lot of teachers here now. The only way you can tell them is that they wear stockings. Yon know, it used to be that women who wanted to forget men went to a convent; now all they have to do is go to WWC. I tried to get the principals of education, like yon said, but they all had wives or girl friends. It's sure a bad business when people ask if I have a teaching position. When I say, "No,* they're sorry for me. When I say, "Yes," they're sorry for the kids. It's time for my beauty sleep and you know I need it. Love, BABY. DOROTHY PETERSON INJURED Injured while playing in the snow, Dorothy Peterson was admitted to the school hospital Sunday morning. The accident occurred Saturday evening during the Church mountain, expedition. Examination by Dr. Ralph Taylor showed a dislocated cartilage in the knee. While the injury is not serious, convalescence takes some time. The Teacher and The Public By W. W. Haggard, President In a democracy public opinion is not shaped by a governmental department, such as found in certain European countries. In the United States the government or party in power attempts to justify its program but the opposition is privileged to point out the weakness of this program. The individual citizen is free to appraise the pros and cons^ of the argument and votes accordingly. In other words, sovereignty resides in the electorate. This situation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the state, exists in the school district. Every year the voters of the school district elect members of the board of education, which may be a phase of appraising the school. It is very evident therefore that the school cannot be thought of as separate from the public. The American people have great faith in their public schools. Exceptions in the local district are found occasionally but the explanations of the lack of faith are usually Dr W. W. Haggard related to the particular type of school program offered or the lack of understanding of that program on the part of the people. Blind support of the schools by the tax payer will be found less prevalent in the future than it has been in the past for the reason that the competition for the tax dollar is becoming increasingly necessary as a part of a long range program. There are several ways in which the teacher may participate in a program of school interpretation. Doing a good job in the classroom is of • first importance but not enough. To mention a few aspects of the teacher and school interpretation, a very human approach to the problems of the child always enlists the support of the parent. Participating in community affairs never fails in creating a bond between the school and ihe people. I n intelligent presentation of school problems through the press, the radio, a ^ ^ a ^ t e a c h e r association in which the individual teacher may have a very important part enhances understanding. EoIrVnoL: This is the first of a series of articles by President Haggard in regard to teacher relations with the public.

The stunt in this show is to get the greatest amount of suggestion with as little stage setting as possible. Two tables and a few chairs convert the stage into the respective dwellings of the Webb and Gibbs families, while Main street runs along behind these groupings of furniture. Kathryn Smith as Mrs. Webb, and Margaret Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Emily Webb, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics WE CALL FOR . AND DELIVER and hurry up center and off to school. The most important character, is the stage manager played by Gordon Morton. In a rather flat, matter- of-fact' New England voice, he genially comments on ' the doings of "Our Town." He acts in various roles; first, the village druggist, and later as the village preacher. Early in the play he calls on Victor Dickinson,, as Editor Webb, to explain "Our Town" to the audience and gets fussy Professor Willard, portrayed by Marshall Bacon, to give facts and statistics about the place. "The short and simple annals of the poor"—this is the stuff of "Our Town."

WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION BELLINGHAM LYNDEN WWC Softballers Drop Games To University of Washington With bad luck stalking- them all the way, an ill-fated WWC all-star softball team dropped a doubleheader to the University of Washington last Monday. The University won the opener, 7-2, and again walloped the Vikings in the nightcap,. 9-3. The games were played in Seattle. The ill-fated nemesis first struck when Sam Carver's 1938 Buick plugged up and burnt a few necessary items that usually keep the vehicle rolling. This strange act of fate occurred in Everett and the boys had to hail a taxi to complete the trip. The return trip to Bellingham was made by bus. In the first game the Vikings' big inning came in the sixth'when Sou-kiip beat out a roller and Landon, next up, hit a home run. Landon hit another earlier in the game that was tabbed for four bases, but he couldn't locate first base and was held to a double. Big Charley Erick-son from Arlington pitched fine ball for Bellingham, but several unearned runs led to his defeat. Butch Dombroski pitched the second game for the Vikings. It was again Landon who paced the WWC gang. The dark-headed youngster collected a double, a home run, a single, a walk, and struck out once for his day's total. ' Dick Johnson, former Husky football end, pitched the last three or four innings for the Washington team and struck out five of the Bellingham outfit.

Striking Washington Public Employes Associationmembers returned to work yesterday after Gov. Dixy Lee Ray met with WPEA Executive Director AnnQuantock. The 3,000 member WPEA struck at selected locations Tuesday and had planned" to callout all its members yesterday. Wednesday night Western's 280-member Washington Federation ofState Employes local (AFL-CIO) passed a resolution calling on the Federation's Executive Council tocall for an immediate strike vote by the 14,000-member union. The Federation's Executive Council met last night, with results unavailable at press time. The WPEA was seeking a 20 per cent salaryincrease. Quantock said she was satisfied with a 10 per cent increase included in the House versionof the proposed state budget. In return for an end to the strike Gov. Ray promised to establish a panelto study state salary scales and benefits for all the state's 50,000 employes. BY CLAY HARTL Acomplaint was lodged about last week's election by Doug Scott, candidate for Position 9, at Tuesday's meeting of the AS Board of Directors. Scott contended that both the voting ballots and the votingmachines "failed to contain my party affiliation (Liberal)," and that if left on, he might have receivedmore votes, thus winning the election. Tony Mauhar, election chairperson, said that it had been"inadvertently omitted from the ballot and the machines." When asked about compensation atMonday's meeting of the Election Board, Scott replied, "I want a re-run." At that meeting, MartinReeves, the winning candidate (by 91 votes) said, "I see the re-run as a senseless exercise, given thesubstantial margin of the results." There was considerable discussion about whether the word "liberal" was used as a philosophy or an actual party affiliation. Dave Marchbank, AS vice-president, said theword couldn't be used to relay a philosophy because election platforms aren't allowed within 25 feet ofthe voting booths. He also pointed out that Scott, as a single candidate, didn't make up a "party." Thisview supports the argument that inclusion of the word liberal wouldn't have made much difference. Mark Gramps, board member, said the use of the word could have run the votes the other way, also,taking more votes away from Scott. Scott admitted this was true but the possibility that the liberal tagwould have gotten him more votes still existed. The board's final decision was to vote against Scott andto ratify Martin Reeves as the Position 9 board member for next year. Student health insurance rates go up for next year by JAN WALLACE Student Health Insurance will cost either $34 or $79 a quarternext year. The $8 increase in single coverage and $18 jump in student-with-dependent coverage are part-of Western's negotiated contract with Whatcom County Physicians Service. The changes are aimed at limiting use and abuse of the health plan, Mary Robinson, associate dean of students, said. Robinsonpointed to dependents as the heaviest users of the plan. Abuse, she said, has included using theinsurance to cover elective surgery. Robinson listed other changes in the health plan. Next year, it willbe mandatory to apply for student health insurance upon entering school. That is, if a student wantsinsurance he has to get it his first quarter of the 1977 school year. A 90-day waiting period prior toseeking treatment under the health plan for a pre-existing condition is a new requirement in the plan. Atleast 2,000 students must enroll for insurance according to the agreement. This is about the number whohave enrolled in the past. v ., . ...v v .. .._. .

Bettis, other administration members and students generally agree the changes are needed. ,When Fairhaven first opened, it was a small, tightly-knit community governed by an unwritten "folk law,"one administration member said. But as the college grew, some of this feeling was lost and questionsarose as to the lines of authority. "In the early years, the administration was run like a family andimportant decisions were made by the committees," Fairhaven Admissions Director Hannah Wegner said. "This system worked while Fairhaven was small," she said. "At that time, students took a strong interest in Fairhaven's governance. But there has been a change in student attitude. Now we have to coercepeople to serve on the committees." Fairhaven has never had an officially accepted charter or by-laws.Thus, Bettis said, responsibility and definitions were not clearly spelled out. A set of by-laws currently isbeing formed by John Bremer, ot Western's education department, who, along with Beth Powers, is thetemporary associate dean at Fairhaven. A charter was set up last winter by a group of students andfaculty which states Fairhaven's purpose and its relation to Western. When completed and approved bythe Fairhaven community, the by-laws, along with the already approved charter, will be sent to Western'sBoard of Trustees for official approval. "The old system was a headache," Wegner said. "There was noone to pin down for certain actions. It tunneled all responsibility to the dean. The new system will delegate lines of responsibility. "This doesn't mean Fairhaven's turning into a bureaucratic monster. Our intentionisto form a sensible structure to hear and channel student concerns more effectively." Another factor inthe need for. change has been community reaction to Bettis. Bettis' contract was renewed for four yearswinter quarter, but not until a heated community referendum questioning his rehiring was settled. "Bettishas met with a lot of controversy and opposition," Doug Leber, a member of the associate dean searchcommittee, said. "We had to use some governance procedures and they turned out to be an ungodlymess. He enabled us to see the flaws in the system." "Bettis has faced mistrust by the community,"Wegner said. "The new system will provide more checks and balances on the dean." The new systemalso will give Fairhaven some protection it has never legally had before. "If Fairhaven has an officialgovernance system, then it will be able to deal with Western's administration and they, in turn, will beable to judge Fairhaven," Leber said. "If we don't have an official structure Western can deal with, theycan tell us 'This is the way it's going to be.' If we have a structure, then we have a say so, a protection,"Wegner said. The new system also will include the position of associate dean, which previously had noofficial status with Western. The position, which was held by Dick Norris until his resignation winterquarter, is responsible for "non-academic" activities, such as housing and dining and student activities. A search committee is now reviewing applications for a permanent replacement. Leber said it is criticalthat Fairhaven define its purpose and direction so the new associate, deaii "will have a set of rules to dea. with when he starts working." There are several problems in establishing the new system, anadministration member said. Fairhaven is a place of creative freedom and administrators don't want tostifle this with a lot of red tape. Also, there is a conflict between the idea of "central authority" and theFairhaven community, which views itself as governed from the roots up, he said. Finally, there is no clearprocedure for approval of the new documents. It must be approved by Fairhaven, he said, but who isFairhaven? That's defined in the new documents!

Jeri Van Dyke,Bellingham field representative, said the commission provides information and assistance with statelaws prohibiting discrimination based on race, creed, national origin, and in many cases sex, maritalstatus or a handicap. She said if a person has a complaint, all they have to do is report it to thecommission. The commission will decide if there gt; is reasonable cause for a follow-up. She said if the state takes the case, it will pay all legal fees. She said the commission will first try to settle itinformally. "The last resort is court litigation," she added, "mainly because there is a 2,000-casebacklog." ^ t g p e s t o j ' KNITTING YARNS SPINNING, WEAVING BATIK SUPPLIES FLEECE,BEADS, BUTTONS, BOOKS EMBROIDERY THREAD CAPS, SWEATERS Tues-Sat 10-4 1300 BayStreet Fri 12-6 he'W send you 00 Q n^OpOO mile journey *â€¢ o lt;QfnenCQn vtoeo Invite your familyto Red Square Renaissance circus â€¢ minstrels Art sale - fencing â€¢ displays much more! 11-4â„¢ may 18 YU. lounge free-730 may 14 mSSfr rSREAT NORTH AMERICAN REAL-LIFE NEDIGNESHOW!!!! ---------- Western Front - 1977 May 13 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, May 13,1977 Western Front 3 Prof handbook controversial pommittee change byRIPROBBINSkeeps pot criminal Western's faculty ratified the controversial Faculty Handbook by a 220 to 57 vote.James Hildebrand, chairman of the Faculty Council, said Tuesday, the vote authorized the FacultyCouncil to recommend the Handbook be approved by the Board of Trustees. Faculty comments to theFront regarding the Handbook centered on the subject of tenure and promotion of faculty. David Pervear,geology, said the Handbook was needed "to facilitate the administration, hiring, shuffling and firing offaculty." He explained that if the level of funds at Western drops, due to declining enrollment, the statewill not provide money for retention of faculty. In that case, he added, the administration must have amechanism for dealing with the problem. A different perception was expressed by Pete Steffens,journalism. "I was not persuaded by the administration, that is Talbot (James Talbot, vice president foracademic affairs), that the changes were really in the interest of enhancing the educational qualities ofWestern, but were out of economic considerations." Steffens said the Handbook "puts the brake onindividual teachers' chances for advancement to permanent status." He said qualifications for promotionhave been stiffened to save salary money and hold back people from permanent position in the college.Americole Biasini, music, approved the Handbook. Biasini said the Handbook "more clearly definesscholarship and process necessary for attaining advancement." Referring to procedures for promotion, he explained, "We in the College of Fine and Performing Arts have a preference for creative behaviors over the more traditional publishing routes." He added he personally prefers "supplanting thepublication route with composition or performance." Other comments addressed the procedure foramendment of the Handbook. A faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, was opposed to thenew procedure. He said the document gives an unconstitutional power to the Board of Trustees to change faculty hiring procedures. He said the nature of the hiring rules is a faculty process and "ratification bythe faculty is essential to the legitimacy of the rules." Ruth Weiner, Huxley professor and acting Dean of Huxley College, agreed that "formal amendment procedures should come from faculty." She assertedthat the Handbook is a good document but that no adequate legal protection for faculty is included. Sheexplained that the Faculty Handbook is not a contract, although it is commounly referred to as one. Shesaid there needs to be a "good legal opinion on whether this is a contract or not." Weiner also expressed dissatisfaction with parts of the Handbook relating to termination of programs. She said there is nocriteria at all for deciding continuation or discontinuation of pro-prams. Weiner was unhappy with themethod of ratification of the Handbook. She said faculty should have been able to vote on each sectionof the document. Although Weiner is currently a faculty member, she did not receive a ballot for voting. "Maybe they just forgot me," she said. James O'Brien, English, was a member of the committee thatdrafted the new handbook. He said the work entailed compiling and editing various processes andprocedures that had been established over the years. O'Brien claimed no essential changes in anyparticular faculty member's case had been made. He emphasized that the Handbook is "a matter ofcompromise. It's not a.perfect document, but it's the best agreement to get out of the Faculty Council atthis time." He said the important thing was to get some policies established that are up to date.Otherwise, he added, "There would still be a lot of loose procedures that allowed people to do what theywant." by PEGGY WATT The marijuana decriminalization bill has been amended to keep possession acrime, but with a lesser penalty, under cnanges dy the Senate Social and Health Services Committee last week. The measure is now in the Senate Rules Committee before going for a vote by the entire Senate.House Bill 257 passed the House on its second try after much controversy. It decriminalized possessionof up to 40 grams of marijuana. The Senate committee's amendments would consider violations ascriminal offenses but with a $25 fine and payment of up to $50 for mandatory enrollment in thedrugeducation program, for the first two offenses only. The records would be purged after two years if therewere no more offenses. "It's not decriminalization," said Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham),sponsor of the Senate decriminalization bill which died of neglect in the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It's not too much of a bill. I'm not completely satisfied, but I support it as being the best bill we can getthrough this legislature," he said. The bill passed the Senate committee May 5, with 7-4 margin. Aproposed amendment by Sen. Kent Pullen (R-Kent) failed, which would have set a mandatory two-yearimprisonment for sale of marijuana. Goltz said a change in laws is necessary because current laws donot work. He likens the use of marijuana to that of alcohol and tobacco, which were not curbed byprohibition or health threats. "It could be the public really wants marijuana part of the environment," Goltzsaid. "But the present law is not being applied or enforced and should be changed. This is our. change."U Applications are beinp taken for WE STERN FRONT editor Summer, 77.Seven copies off the resumeplus any supporting material due in HU 340 by Monday Noon, May 16 Selection will be Wednesday,May: 181977 in HU 101 at 2:00 PM Applications are being taken for WESTERN] FRONTeditor FALL1977!- Seven copies of the resume plus any supporting material due in HU 340 by Monday Noon, May i16 Selection will be Wednesday, May 181977 in HU 101 at 2:00 PM -Â£ *v* ^p rtfr A.

Four bills of interest to students may diea quiet death if no noise is made soon. The bills â€” the university name change, collective bargainingrights for state instructors, marijuana decriminalization and term paper sale reform â€” are currentlystuck in the Senate Rules Committee. This is the last stop before they go to the Senate floor, and ifpassed, on to Gov. Dixy Lee Ray's desk. The Senate Rules Committee is known for holding up bills. Asone legislative lobbyist puts it, "Senate Rules is the . graveyard of legislation." Now that the legislature isbusy with the several budget proposals, it is questionable whether they will even be acted upon.Questionable, that is, unless some pressure is put on the committee to get the bills to the Senate floor.This is where students can help. Simply by calling the legislative hotline, 1-800-562-6000 (toll free),students can urge their legislators to put pressure on the rules committee. It only takes a little time andenergy. These bills all should get a chance on the Senate floor. They've gone through what seems like an endless maze of committees in the House and Senate. To have them curl up and die in the rulescommittee would be a waste. Guest commentary Publishing important In a series of thoughtful articles,Beth Barrett has examined the relationship of teaching and publication to tenure and promotion. It is wellto remember the tenure qualifications defined in the 1969 Faculty Handbook: "Tenure should be granted to faculty members who possess such talent as scholars and teachers that the college can employ themfor the remainder of their academic careers." Similarly, for associate professor, the qualifications include " . . . strong evidence of high attainment in teaching, or research, or in other scholarly endeavor. Usually,accomplishment in more than one of these areas is expected." In the new version of the handbook thedual role of the professor as teacher and scholar is retained. There is a long and established tradition inthe academic world that a professor must be an active scholar as well as a competent teacher. Thequestion is more one of evaluation. How do we recognize a good teacher? What are the signs of an active scholar? We have a system of evaluating teaching although it is currently under review by a committee of the All-College Senate. Evaluation of scholarly activity is not easily refined to fit an evaluation form, butfaculty committees attempt to distinguish between the various types of activity, and recognize thatnot all scholarly activity results in publication. Nonetheless, in those fields where publication istraditionally the measure of the scholar, the committees look for publications in refereed journals asthe most obvious mark of success. In other fields different criteria are used but are agreed upon beforethe evaluation takes place. For example, an artist is expected to put on shows in centers where work iscritically evaluated; an accountant, to write for professional journals; a planner, to educate other plannersthrough symposia, and through distribution of work for critical review. Most faculty achieve the goals setby the academic community, remain professionally active, and become competent teachers. As Ireviewed the files of all those faculty who were applicants for tenure and promotion, I was impressed bythe high level of activity of the faculty at this institution. Faculty are publishing, performing, andcontributing to symposia at national meetings of learned and professional societies, while also gettinggood reviews of their teaching. The importance of scholarly activity is clearly recognized here. Problemsoccur only where faculty have ignored early warning signals. Annual evaluations will point to deficienciesin teaching and scholarship. If these warnings^ are ignored, promotions are delayed and tenure may bedenied. The faculty and administration at Western work together to maintain a high quality environment.Publication by faculty is an important element in our efforts but it is not the only factor and should not beover-estimated. â€” James Talbot Talbot is Vice President lor Academic Affairs and Provost.. Torn overporn First Amendment threatened JAMES TALBOT Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein publish smut. Somewill say that what they publish has no literary value whatsoever. This would be hard to prove otherwise.Yet, does anyone have the right to tell them they can't publish whatever they want to? Essentially, thisis the main question involved with the obscenity issue today. It amounts to a supreme test of our right tofreedom of speech, guaranteed under the First Amendment. Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, andGoldstein, publisher of Screw magazine, both face possible long jail sentences for obscenity-relatedconvictions. Their decisions are being appealed. Their convictions are a result of a 1973 a lt;M -Hoe.Juefo*? TCS ouer m 4/5/e 4 . "3 Supreme Court ruling which left obscenity regulation up to "communitystandards." The vagueness of this term has allowed such conservative cities as Wichita, Kan., forexample, to convict Goldstein. Goldstein and Flynt offer no excuses for the smut they are publishing.Both Screw and Hustler are known for their explicit crotch shots and unsophisticated sex stories. "Iwanted to talk about sex the way we talked about it on the farm, at the factory and in the Navy," Flyntsays. Goldstein, in an article in New York Times Magazine, is described as "being as offensive aspossible, as often as possible to as many people as possible." In a recent issue of Screw, he ran acartoon depicting the nine Justices of the Supreme Court having sex with animals, vegetables and miner-als. These same men might someday try his case. Offensive? Yes. Poor taste? Yes. But should anyone be jailed for being offensive and showing poor taste? Rolling Stone magazine Editor Jann Wenner saysno. "A guy is being jailed by a law promulgated by the Nixon Court," he says of Flynt. "It's an outrage.Since when has bad taste been a crime?" Apparently somebody thinks it should be. Flynt has beensentenced to 7 to 25 years for "pandering obscenity," Goldstein faces a possible 60 years in jail forsending obscene material through the mails. A frightening situation would face us if their conditions areupheld. Two men may go to jail for exercising their First Amendment rights. More importantly, the FirstAmendment would be severely damaged. The door would be open for censorship of true literary works.Regardless of their literary content, Hustler and Screw have a legitimate right to exist. It would be nice to let all the things labeled "good" exist, and all the things labeled "bad" not exist, but it's not that easy.With the First Amendment at stake, the bad has to be taken with the good. â€” John Nelson hoof-in-mouth Editor's Note: This is the second half of the Hoof-in-Mouth column on tenure and promotion. Inaddition to more specific tenure criteria, the Front also offers some ideas to enhance the system'sefficiency. First, all cluster college and departmental tenure and promotion committees should bedisbanded. They are a waste of personnel and time. Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbotshould serve as a one-man committee since he, according to himself, must ultimately agree with all T P standards. Why expend energy on numerous committees (and the increased bureaucracy they cause) when one man can handle the job so efficiently? In addition, professors applying for tenure should lay afolio at Talbot's feet containing the following items: 1} Publication notices 2) Poor student evaluations 3)A short, philosophical poem praising the Olscamp administration and the quality of education. The Frontsuggests the poems be submitted to Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard or the Jeopardy editor for finalapproval. Once Talbot has granted tenure, a wondrous ceremony will ensue on the sidewalk in front ofOld Main. All campus administrators will line up in descending bureaucratic order, facing Old Main andwith their backs to the sidewalk. Talbot will stand at the top of the entrance stairs. The honoredprofessor, to the measured grandeur of "Pomp and Circumstance," will walk slowly up the sidewalk.Starting with the lowliest administrator, he will systematically kiss the central rear anatomy of eachbureaucrat. Once he has graced Olscamp with a peck, he will ascend Old Main's stairs and bow atTalbot's feet. Talbot will chant a prayer to the House Higher EducaUonCommitteo and then bless theprofessor in Latin: "Grantus tenurus!" The professor will arise with tears in his eyes and orate a copyof his longest published article. Professors who are denied tenure will be sent to a corrective institution,such as a community college, in hopes they eventually will see the errors of their ways. Praise be to the father (Olscamp), the son (Talbot) and the holy ghost (the spirit of readin', writin' and 'rithmetic.) â€”Greg Hoofnagle staff EDITOR; Greg Hoofaagle NEWS EDITOR: Bruce Hyland FEATURE EDITOR: LizVerdier PHOTO EDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS iENTERTAINMENT: Liz Rust SPORTS EDITOR: BruceStinshoff OPINION EDITOR: John Nelson HEAD COP?

One in four Americans will develop cancer in their lifetime and one in five will die from it. Ifyou happen to be living in a highly industrialized area, your chances are even greater of developingcancer, and if you happen to be a long-term asbestos insulation worker you have a 50 per cent chanceof dying of cancer. Instead of chastising the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for enacting theDelaney clause, we ought to thank them. The argument that the scientific data derived from animalresearch is invalid and is at best ignorant criticism. Every chemical known to be carcinogenic tohumans (with the exception of Trivalent Arsenic) is also carcinogenic to animals. Many chemicals now recognized as carcinogenic to humans were first identified by animal testing. Also, I believe theargument for administering large doses of potential carcinogenic material to test animals is valid.Industry has perpetuated the myths about such testing to minimize the significance of the effects ofhuman exposure to particular carcinogenic or toxic chemicals. If the sugar addicts want theirmethadone then let them buy it as a drug, but don't routinely expose innocent people to carcinogens.A recent Environmental Protection Agency study found Dieldrin in 80 per cent of the milk of nursingmothers nationwide. (Dieldrin is a known carcinogenic pesticide). We ought to be damn mad atindustry for polluting our environment for the sake of profits, at government for covering it up and at the press for blindly perpetuating myths about cancer and the safety of industrial products. This letteronly scratches the surface. Look around you: one, in five will die from cancer, and the rate is increasingannually. We have to start cleaning up somewhere! Pat Byrne Senior, Biology-Chemistry Editor,western Front: Kevin Raymond's opinion (Front, May 6) in regard to U.S. payments of war reparations to Vietnam is misleading and is inconsistent with the true facts. Raymond attempted to reason that theUnited States has a moral obligation to "heal the war wounds." Raymond states, "America forgetsquickly . . . the Vietnam nightmare is almost forgotten here," but what about the families of the 56,000 U.S. servicemen who were lost in the war? How fast will they forget? No, the moral argument is tooweak to be used as a negotiating crutch. Editorial policy Opinions expressed in Editorials are those ofThe Front Editor, and are not necessarily those of the college or student body. Similarly, opinionsexpressed in signed commentaries as well .as graphics and cartoons are those of the authors and notnecessarily this newspaper, the college or student body. Letters policy All letters to the editor must besigned. Letters longer than 250 words are subject to editing for condensation. The Front reserves the right to refuse any letter to the editor. A quick assessment of postwar events would be more appropriate.After United States withdrawl, North Vietnam completely disregarded the agreement initialed on Jan.23, 1973 by Le Dec The and Henry Kissinger. Within a year and a half, Communist forces had taken the country in direct conflict with the Paris Accords. North Vietnam kept no part of the agreement. Closeexamination shows that "in fact" the context of the agreement contains no requirement for the UnitedStates to pay any reparations to Vietnam. Why then, should the United States be obligated to payeven $1 in aid to Vietnam? As Henry Kissinger pointed out in a recent press conference, "U.S.economic aid priorities should be kept in alphabetical order."

Friday the 13th an unlucky day historically Fear of bad luck and troubles on Friday the 13th probably RESULTS FROM A COMBINATION OF TWO TRADITIONALSYMBOLS OF MISFORTUNE â€” Friday and the number 13 â€” according to Man, Myth Magicmagazine. Some unhappy events that occurred on Friday: Christ's crucifixion ("a day of fasting, fish-eating and general gloom") according to legend, the day Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit; the dayof the May 10, 1886, financial panic in London. "You should not start a new job, call in a doctor, movehouse, turn the mattress on a bed, begin a sea voyage or, if you are a criminal, come up for sentencingon Friday," tradition suggests, according to the magazine.

Work-study offers summer jobs by JESSIE MILUG AN There is not an overabundance of jobs in Bellingham, but financial aid eligibility or a willingness to try manual labor-areattributes that may open doors when looking for work this summer. The summer work-study programprovides full-time work for students who are eligible for financial aid next fall, Cathy Dudik, coordinator for the Student Employment Center (SEC) said. Applications are still being accepted. Most work-study jobs are with public service non-profit organizations, particularly "summertime industries working with children, such as Whatcom County Parks Department, Bellingham Park Commission, theYMCA or the YWCA," Dudik said. These types of jobs can also be applied for through the SummerYouth Employment Program (SPEDY), 115 W. Magnolia. SPEDY has low-income eligibilityrequirements similar to the financial aid program here, except applicants must be 16-21 years old, Dudik said. "This is the time to look for a summer job," Susan Wolfe, interviewer at Employment Security,said. "Production increases this time of year. Construction, landscaping, canneries all step up. Kidsare going to be out of school and then there are tourists," Wolfe said. Bumblebee Cannery, Squali-cum Waterway, and Peter Pan Seafood, 207 Harris, begin hiring for the fishing season in late June and runthrough October, plant managers said. "We've put many people through college," Wes Fahls-trom,Bumblebee manager, said. Both canneries have wages starting at approximately $4 an hour and bothmanagers said work includes cleaning or unloading fish and production-related work aroundmachines. Janitorial work and retail sales are also in demand here, Betty Willert, of EvergreenEmployment Center, said. The center, 119 Broadway, does place clients in part-time and full-timesummer work, Willert said. Both Wolfe and Dudik said berry picking in the area could provideopportunities for students needing extra cash this summer. Employment counselors say job huntingwill take a lot of initiative. "It is important to be there when the job opens. Employers don't necessarilykeep applications on file because people are continually coming in to check," Wolfe said.

Lade, who also had apowerful voice, led the stable men's chorus in what became the "show stopper," "Blow High, Blow Low."The choreography and dance performances were the strongest point of the production, with beautiful,graceful performances given by many dancers. Louisa Ward, who played Billy and Julie's daughter,Louise, performed with great form in the beach ballet, with the help of dancers David Berkey, Nora Martin, Jody Mallahan and Dan Weber. Another traditional high point of the show, "You'll Never Walk Alone,"was performed with the serenity and quiet power it deserves, by Martha- Benedict, who played NettieFowler. Benedict's performance probably left many tearful eyes in the audience. Dennis Catrell, of thetheatre and dance department, gave an unusual, humorous and believable performance as Enoch Snow.Catrell played the role with a slight modesty, which was a pleasant contrast to the overbearing treatment it has received from other actors. Joining Catrell was Charlotte Mickelson, who played Carrie Pipperidge. Together, the two successfully provided the necessary humorous aspects of the otherwise heavy-hearted play. Three other performances of note were turned in by James A. Korski, of the theatre and dancedepartment, who played the Starkeeper; Randy J. Karl, who played the Heavenly Friend, and Giuli EtteCasciopoppo, who played the scheming Mrs. Mullin. All three roles were strictly dramatic and wereplayed convincingly. A slightly slow beginning and a slowness in two full-cast numbers, â€” "A Real Nice Clambake" and "June is Bustin' Out All Over" â€” were the only drawbacks to the production. Timingseemed to be the trouble here, as a lot of people moving around on stage produced a somewhat clumsyeffect. As usual, the theatre and dance department created imaginative sets and costumes. Althoughnot overly elaborate, they fit the New England setting. Understudies for the roles of Billy and Julie areSteve Deines, student, and Ruth Pratt, of the speech department. Deines played his role oppositeMcCauley in the Thursday performance, Pratt will play opposite McKinney in tonight's performance.The cast encored with a reprise of an upbeat song, "June is Bustin' Out All Over," which was fortunate. In the midst of the emotion this play left, a gay note was needed.

"The Bay area is one of the most exciting centers for classical guitar in the world,"Patterson said, but he doesn't plan to move back in the near future. Patterson said he finds theNorthwest a "healthy place to be." Not only does the natural beauty of this area appeal to the hermitstreak in him (he lives in a house outside Bellingham which has neither electricity nor hot water), but hefinds it useful to him as a musician. Trees make useful conductors of sound and allow him to hear hisown music far better than he could in a city atmosphere, he said. The quiet fc H atmosphere alsoscreens him from disrupts noises from the outside, which allows him concentrate on his art. WatchingPatterson play his instrument is tender experience in itself. He has an unspok language with the guitarthat conveys his love it.' Patterson is a busy individual. He instructs well as performs. He will receive hisMaster degree in performance in a few. weeks recently performed his graduate recital at th WhatcomMuseum of History and Art. Although classical guitar is his standar instrument, he plays baroque guitaras well. Th baroque differs from the classical instrument that it is smaller and is equipped with 10 stringIts tone is lighter and more intimate than that the more familiar instrument. He sees Bellingham as "being a fruitful aret full of potential, which can become a garden or garbage dump." He and his talent will stay t push the city towards the former.

Patty Tork and Joanne Kautz are competing with eight other women for the title of MissWhatcom County, to be named at this year's Blossomtime pageant May 19. The winner will receive a$500 scholarship and represent Whatcom County at various events throughout the state, including nextyear's Miss Washington pageant. The contestants will be judged primarily on talent and appearance.Tork plans to do a jazz-dance to "I'm Gonna Fly Now," the theme form the movie "Rocky," for the talentcompetition. She is originally from Morgantown, W.Va., and moved here after attending the University ofUtah last year. She is a sophomore at Western, majoring in dance. Krautz is from Seattle, and running in her second pageant. She ran unsuccessfully for Miss Des Moines, Wash, three years ago. Kautz is ajunior majoring in music, and a resident aide at Alpha. She plans to play "Rhapsody in Blue" on thepiano, in the talent competition. In an interview Tuesday, both, said that running has been a goodopportunity to get to know the Bellingham area better, and meet more people in the community. Torksaid she is running because of the scholarship, and pointed out that it is technically a scholarshippageant. Kautz said she is also running because of the scholarship, and because it is an opportunity toplay piano in front of an audience. The contestants have been meeting for the past nine weeks, inpreparation for the pageant. Tork explained, "They (the people running the pageant) teach us how to walk, talk and sit." Being in the pageant is fun, they both said, but they expressed displeasure in the publicappearances they have made as a group. Tork commented, "They have us show our faces and getout." Kautz added, "Sometimes you feel like a herd of cattle . . . we never get invited to lunch, we're justherded in, looked at and herded out." They said they like working with the people involved. Kautz said, "Itis hard trying to keep jealousy and pride under control, but when you forget the competition the peopleare great." In response to those who criticize beauty pageants as sexist Tork said, "The beauty partdepends a lot on how you take care of yourself." Kautz said, "I have the right to assume any role in life Iwish." Bob Stevens, the executive director of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce, said this is the first time in many years non-high schoolgirls have been allowed to run. He said this was to give the pageanta "more mature air." Kautz said she would like to see more Western women compete in the future. Alsorunning are: Kim Curtis, Sehome High; Gina Folsom, Bellingham Tech. School; Lisa Fladd, BellinghamHigh; Diane Hardin, Nooksack Valley High; Leanne Dwight, Meridian High; Laura Sibillia, Blaine High;Lori Lagerway, Lynden and Stacey Provias, a Sehome graduate. Two runners-up will each receive $250scholarships. The pageant will be held at 8 p.m. at Bellingham High School. Admission is $2.00 foradults, $1.00 for students.

Six other Western students (who wish toremain anonymous), and I went by boat to the waters off Sucia Island (about 15 miles west ofBellingham) in search of the not-so-elusive cod. We were specifically after rock cod and ling cod. Rockcod are short, round, spiney, have large bulging eyes and are generally ugly. Ling cod are long, slender,slimy, large-headed and tend to get uglier as they get bigger. Both are found in deep water, near rocksand near the bottom. Cod fishing requires very little patience, and practically no skill, a perfectdescription of our crew. We sent our "rigs" (fishing jargon) consisting of herring or smelt bait (chickenbones have been known to work) on two large hooks, with a large weight, to the bottom. Once our lineshad reached bottom, we jerked them up and down to attract the fish. Less than 15 seconds after my linetouched bottom, I hooked a fish. At the same time, two others had hooked the bottom, and were trying to pull the plug on Puget Sound. They had found the foremost danger in cod fishing â€” rocks that reachout and grab your line. By the time I had brought in my fish â€” a rock cod r~ and the others had theirnow hookless lines in, we had drifted out of the fishing area. We drive the boat back to the original spotand dropped anchor. During the next couple hours we caught several fish at this spot and did have oneexciting moment. I caught a 20 pound ling cod. This fish exemplified the greediness of cod. I hadoriginally hooked a small rock cod, but the ling swallowed it, and held on. After a brilliant(?) display offishing skills, I brought the ugly thing to the surface, where it was gaffed and hauled into the boat. After a severe beating with the handle of the gaff-hook, the ling spit out the smaller cod which left me with adouble catch. - The remainder of the afternoon was spent fishing at Parkers Reef, (off Orcas Island) andin the waters off Matia Island. By the end of the day, we had caught 16 cod and one rock which wedetermined to be sandstone. In addition to the fish, Mother Nature provided us with numerous ups anddowns. Occasionally, a couple of our crew members felt momentarily compelled to donate their half-digested lunch to the local marine life. After our trip, we prepared the fish for eating. We filleted the fish(some still alive) by making a slit along the gills, and running a knife along the backbone. After separating the skin from the meat, we were left with the best fish for fish 'n ships the sea has to offer. scoreboardSchedule Golf May 13 Women's Tennis â€” Northern- Eastern District Tournament at Pacific LutheranUniversity Men's Tennis â€” Evergreen Conference Meet at Southern Oregon State College, AshlandWomen's Track â€” NCWSA Regional Meet at University of Washington May 14 Women's Tennis â€” Northern- Eastern District Tournament at Pacific Lutheran University Men's Tennis â€” EvergreenConference Meet at SOSC Women's Track â€” Regionals at UW Lacrosse â€” University of Washington Lacrosse Club at UW Rugby â€” ; -Aside ment, Burnaby May 15 Lacrosse â€” Boeing Club atUniversity Sound NAIA District I at Spanaway May 9-10 Team Scores â€” Western 779; Simon Fraser795; Central 800; Eastern 801; Pacific Lutheran University 804; Whitman 818; Whitworth 828.

But she ure can throw one. Her West-irn schoolrecord of 149-1 is 19 eet over the national qualifying aark of 130-0. She has been in track ever incejunior high, and had own the discus before :hanging to the javelin. For raining, Reimer sprinted, limbedstairs and swung base-tall bats because her high chool didn't have weights. As a freshman at Westernast year, Reimer had a best of 34-0. She went to nationals but dn't make the finals. This ear she doesn'tknow how she tands among others and does tot have any idea what place she could get at nationals.Reimer usually trains four days a week. Monday, she does sprints and throws. Tuesday and Thursday,she lifts weights. She does arm curls, leg presses, hamstring curls and various other exercises.Wednesday is a lot like Monday, except she throws harder, and sometimes all out. On throwing days, Reimer said, "I work on my speed and technique. I practice following through and bringing the javelinall the way back. I need to use my whole body to get my best throw." Beth Barrett gives a bit ofincentive to Reimer. Barrett also qualified for nationals in the javelin with a throw of 136-0. She is theonly other person to qualify for nationals on the women's track team. Reimer makes the javelin a priority during the season, but does not train during the off season. "If I trained more it would help. I had a latestart this season. I played basketball on the junior varsity this winter and play softball in the summer.Maybe next year I will train the year around," Reimer said. "Before a track meet, I think about mygoals," Reimer said. She will have an excellent opportunity to surpass those goals at nationals, May 19-21, at the University of California at Los Angeles. The finish of an odyssey o NOTE: This is the secondand last part of the evin Charles Hitchhiking story. At the end of le last segment, Charles and his sidekick, the iano Man, arrived at Moses Lake, the sister city f Purgatory. by KEVIN CHARLES We hadtaken the last ride with these rangers and it was beginning to look like we ad indeed taken the Last Ride. They hadn't quipped us with cement overshoes and dropped 's in the river, but after an hour in MosesLake, ve were beginning to wish they had. The first Irregular Western Front Mainline \drenalin Marathonfor Hitchhiking was eight lours old and showing signs of birth defects. The only thing biblical about Moses Lake is the mount of religious faith it takes to hitchhike out. loads run conveniently in all compass direc-ons, as do the drivers, straight, speedily, and nstoppably. he only thing biblical about Moses .ake is the amount of religious faith it akes to hitchhike out. An automotive catalogue could be filled with he carsthat passed us by. Pick-ups, sedans, ports cars, Jeeps, stationwagons and vans all ad one answer toour thumbs-up plea: cceleration. After three hours of this, the Piano Man began react helpfully to ourproblem. "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" "Great thought, how do we do it?" "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" I persuaded my partner to come out of the oad, frustrating his kamikaze instinct. Weleaded for the truckstop across the freeway. Any consideration of Moses Lake as a vacation pot ended,inside the truckstop restaurant. The vhite-on-white patrons gave us the quiet looks of listaste usuallydrawn by Mongols on their way a beer-blast with the horde. My long hair and he Piano Man's skin colorweren't smash hits in his town. At our request, we received service, though mietly, rude, and inexactdirections to the bus tation. Discomforted, we went back to the oadside. "We're gonna get out of here."The Piano itfan's voice had dipped into hysteria. "It's okay," I assured him. "If we don't get a ide within an hour, we'll leave." By that time, ve'd probably be arrested. Stranded one short hitch from Spokane, in aillage resembling the leavings of a cattle drive, decided upon a cowpuncher's solution, foisting our packs,we stumbled eastward oward the deeper darkness and our destination. Something scurried with us as we strode along he road beside the freeway. "Piano Man, there's something moving over here." "Right,next thing you're gonna be telling me ou're seeing snakes." We arrived at the next intersection uneaten. It melled of cow manure, and was equipped with a w stationary tumbleweeds. In a few years, we redicted, it would be a whole lot like Moses ake. The desert mice got another thrill as we hiked le three milesback to Moses Lake. The shift had hanged at the truckstop eatery as we went back and struck death-like poses. Different, younger waitresses poured the coffee. They gave us sympathetic advice, having beentrapped in Moses Lake longer than we. Still enshackled by our luck, we reeled out to the roadside again. A trio of state patrol cars were parked fender to fender in a deserted gas station. Within their sight, thePiano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. He swung out of thetruckstop and then braked as he saw us. His Japanese pickup was filled with blankets and children'stoys. "Yeah, I know what a bitch it is to be stuck in this town," he said, shifting his domestic cargo. "Ijust ripped off a guy for $300. Sucker was cheating me blind," he said. The criminal's name was Bill. Hehad spent the day working at a carnival and made off with the day's proceeds. He was helping his ex-wife move to Spokane. The state patrol had two warrants for his arrest. His ex-wife, her girl friend and he had stopped for coffee at the truck stop where he stole $10 from the cashier. Gratefully, we became part ofhis get-away. "I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this," Bill said. The caravan stopped at anothertruckstop on the eastside of Spokane. Bill bought us coffee and he was soon in motion again. By now,the police will have caught up with him. Bill gave the impression of a luckless, though enterprisingoutlaw. The truckstop in Spokane was bigger and just as'depressing as its cousin in Moses Lake. About 50 trucks slept standing up with their drivers inside. Soon we learned the truckers weren't obliged tohurry, or in some cases, even arise on Sundays. Just as quickly, we surmised that Spokane on theSabbath has all the bustle of a petrified forest. Desperate again, we stupidly accepted the first ride offered to us. Our benefactor dropped us off in the middle of the freeway. Sunrise struck as we hiked back to the truckstop along Nixon Avenue. Thirty minutes later, we abandoned the truckstop and began walkingagain. Still later that morning, the Piano Man had led us to a Denny's while I scouted the area for apromising freeway entrance. I selected the on-ramp for our last stand and we went inside to fortifyourselves. . . . the Piano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. Thethree customers already there were laughing as we sat down. They listened to our account of our mileage and self-destruction. Finally, one of them offered us the passenger section of his Honda Civic. The driver was a graduate student in geology, a sacreligious pagan-barbarian (Lodge 362) and very good company.â€¢* -V gt; We drove back through the North Cascades on Highway 20, viewing the coming ecologicaldisaster. Eyery lake and reservoir we saw had high, dry banks and very low water. The Marathon endedat our doorstep where our barbaric friend dropped us in a heap. I was 36 hours older and my body was700 miles more traveled. Some day I might again set out after a new record, but I don't think so. Justthinking about it makes my frayed brain weary.

No. "Austin Harley and I arrived in Seattle at 6:30 a.m.,Saturday, February 19, 1977. We took our positions along Avenue of the Cascades, precisely where theRainiers would appear at the height of their run-through. Some old-time tavern guzzlers tried to push usback among the green-beers, but we held our ground. (Pic A) Then the Rainiers arrived in a rush, and itwas too late to do anything but run.with them. Austin (at X) had his camera along, but he quickly realizedthe inadvisability of stopping to snap pictures. I grasped the traditional long-cup (marked by Y) to catchany Mountain Fresh run-offen route. (Pic B) The groves of academe certainly proved tame by comparison.Almost immediately, some other bottles moved in behind us â€” their apparent intention to "cap" a few ofthe spectators along one wall. Austin (again at X) began to show signs of worry, but I was too busyascertaining that one cannot run well backwards. (Pic C) Then we were in the thick of it. While Austinpeered down the neck of 90 gallons on the hoof, I searched for a way out. But as my Philosophy ofEngineering 201 professor was wont to say, "A man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a machinefor?" (Pic D) One second after this, we both went under. Getting sloshed, however, really wasn't as I hadanticipated. It seems that Rainiers really are fresh and friendly. I suppose if Austin and I were to visit theNorthwest a second time, we might choose to run again. Since our return to Princeton, our fellowstudents have persisted in asking us to explain the Running of the Rainiers â€” the fascination of man and liquid beast for this annual spring occurrence. In all honesty, I have no theory beyond the apparentnatural affinity of the Rainiers and their beer aficionados!' -Hamilton R. McMillan, Class of 77 j Whatmakes the Rainiers run?

Dear Mr. Simpson;What is the purpose of going to college? Most of us probably feel that the purpose is to obtain aneducation. In order to obtain this education it is necessary to study, often using the facilities oi' theLibrary. Activities also are important. The importance of learning to live with others in the dorms orhouses cannot be denied either. Part of this living together is the attendance of house meetings. Doesthis mean that house meetings should come before studies? I think not. It does not seem right, therefore, to impose a punishment on a person who was studying at the Library just because this person misseda house meeting. This happened to a girl at Edens Hall. She had not come in later than the regularclosing hours of 10:45 pirn. She had done nothing unbecoming to a lady. Her studying instead ofattending the house meeting drew her the severe punishment of nine campuses. Punishment forstudying is a violation of the purpose of college, and is unfair. Perhaps other readers might have some comments on this situation. Sincerely, Elva Naff (Ed. Note) Amen. I'm on your side. To The Editor;Judging from Homecoming Skit Night's primitive exhibition, am I to be led to believe that Americanhumor has descended into a morbid state of unhealthy degradation? Or has American humor alwaysbeen sick? The seeming inability of the audience to discern between the decent joke and the crudeone was a most disappointing observation. Shall I bring the news back home to the Philippines thatAmerica is the "Trail's End"? Perhaps we need more people like Jerome Glass who can lift us to ahigher level of culture, and less pipe-smoking Ivy Leaguers who with their constant wailing and moaningdrag innocent tribal natives with them. Sincerely, Myrna Gill Homecoming was a great success lastweek! There was more planning put into that one week than for any activity last year. I have never seenso many activities coordinated and operated with so few problems. I think that Jerry Caton and KarenJohnson deserve a personal word from each ot you. Many people have approached me in the past weekor so, which if nothing else, proves that the space in the paper is not going to waste en total. It must besaid that most of those people are either on one side or the other, and very few don't care for a marchingbaiid. The only people against the issue seem to be the band members and their affiliated groups. I'mstill looking for your comments in a letter. How many of you saw the parade on Saturday? If you are oneof those who noticed the floats as they went by, you undoubtly saw the winning float by the sophomoreclass. This entry was a covered wagon built out of tin foil that had a rather professional look about it. It has always been thought, at least in this quarter, that the floats were to be limited in cost and built byamateurs. From the unconfirmed rumors echoing about, it would seem that this work was insured for$2000 and would not have been taken out in the rain. Perhaps I was misinformed. If not, it may benecessary to issue rules limiting the amount of monies to be used in the construction of floats. Nextweek is National Education Week and there are going to be big doings on campus. Among the benefits of the week's activities will be a little quiz to enable the student to find out what his T.Q. is.

Page 2WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 4, 1960 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1960 November 4 - Page 3 ---------- Editorial SCIENCE BUILDING Something Missing Many visitors and passers-by of our campus look inawe and admiration at our massive and impressive new Haggard Hall of Science. Outwardly it is beautifuland graceful in spite of its massive size. But inwardly something is missing. The Building is well-equipped, and strides are being made to make it even more so. A planetarium is being worked on, andbefore too long the structure will contain a seismograph. The classrooms are comfortable and well-lighted. But still something is missing. Walking in the halls or sitting in class, a student can't help but feel asthough he were in a bomb shelter, or a prison at best. The dark-grayish walls, ceilings, floors andstairwells give a depressing atmosphere to an otherwise splendid new building. I realize that atmosphere is less important than adequate facilities. I also realize the great cost of painting the majority of thisbarren, empty interior. I could understand not painting the interior for a year or two due to limited finances. However, to postpone this project indefinitely would be a great mistake. And I understand that no plansare being made for future painting. We have a wonderful building. Why not make it even more wonderful?Science is cold and hard as it is, without having a cold, hard atmosphere. I'm sure I speak for the majority of the students when I appeal for something to be done to liven up the interior of our wonderful newScience Building. Next Tuesday is election day, and it is important for those of you eligibles to exerciseyour voting privilege. Government cannot be representative unless each individual makes it so. TheCollegian is supporting the local Civic Field issue. All of you have by now seen Bel ingham's best facilityfor football, that ancient, weather-beaten, mud-bogged, Battersby Field. Last year (the Civic Fieldproposal would have passed had all the College eligibles voted. It lost by a scant 50 votes. Let's notmake the same mistake this year that we made last year. Vote! (Ed. Noteâ€” Several letters came in toolate for publication, and will not be used until the next issue on Nov. 16. Monday at 5 p. m. is the absolute deadline for letters.) CIVIC FIELD RALLY Eill Zagelow and Gary Norman have been appointed co-chairmen of the Norsemen sponsored Civic Field rally, Monday, Nov. 7. The rally, to be conductedthroughout the city of Bellingham, will serve as a reminder to the voters of Bellingham to vote lor theCivic Field proposal. All clubs on campus have been invited to take part by the Norsemen, who areacting as organizers only. The rally will begin at 7 p.m. in front of the Industrial Arts Building and willproceed downtown with a police escort. "Both Bellingham and Western will profit by a Civic Field,"stated Zagelow, "and a strong showing by the College will show the people of Bellingham thatWestern is willing to help out in this respect." All interested persons are urged to contact one of theoificers of the Norsemen Club or leave their names with the Dean of Men.

D'Andrea's stand comes as a result oi. the recentLegislature battle with Jerome Glass on the marching band de-emphasis program, started at the adventof Dr. Jarrett's administration last year. When asked to comment on the program Glass replied, "I feelthat I would be asking entirely too much of the band members to require that they spend five to ten hours every week drilling for halftime entertainment, when they could be spending that time furthering theirown musical ability." "Not only does a marching band require time," Glass continued, "but it isexpensive." As to the expense, it was found that the greatest single cost incurred by the band in thepast has been the purchase and maintenance of uniforms, which are only used four or five times eachyear, according to D'Andrea. There has been a good deal of furor raised about "The Letter" which Glasswas supposed to have written to all the local high schools telling them that Western would not participate in any of their functions, because we (Western) no longer had a marching band. According to Glass,this is not so. "I wrote only one letter and that was to the Band Chairman for the Bellingham BlossomFestival informing him that we would no longer have a marching band at Western, and that we wouldnot actively participate in the parade." Later Glass offered direct services, "as the band would be morethan happy to play as a concert band." Extra-Curricular Activities It happened that the man who waschairman of the bands Cor the Blossom Festival, is also the man in charge of all the Bellingham Public School's music curriculum, Dr. Clifford Leedy. When asked by the Homecoming committee to marchin the parade, Leedy refused on the grounds that he felt it would be a detriment to the marching bandpolicy at Western, and Glass, if he accepted. Leedy had a different viewpoint on marching bands, "I don't know how it is in college, but we have different phases of curriculm to take care of in high Page 4school. The regular curriculm is the concert band, which gives a public recital once every year. Themarching band makes up the greater part of the extra-curricular activities." For precision drills, Leedysaid, the band spends one hour every day practicing for a period of two to three weeks before an event.This is a total of ten or fifteen hours of drill which manifests itself in ten minutes of slopping about on thesoggy turf at Battersby Bog for the amusement of a few fans who are more concerned with staying drythan with watching halftime entertainment. This is not to say that Leedy should not have a marchingband. Rather, it brings up the question, do the results prove worthwhile? It would be proper to here tosample the opinions of those who are involved. Commented Dr. Jarrett; "I've taken the position that theexcessive re-hersal time required is not worth the results." From Band Director Glass: "We have neverrefused to play for any high school or college function as a concert band. But aside from immediatecollege activity (such as Homecoming) we do not have a marching band." Dr. D'Andrea: "It is thefunction of the halftime show to satisfy the students. We try to do this with as little time, and damageto equipment, as possible." Said Dr. Leedy; "The marching band is certainly one of the most effectivepublic relations devices a school can have." The Legislature: "Everybody else has one, why can't wehave one too?" HOMECOMING The Western Roundup will go down in Western history as one of theschool's finest Homecomings. "This has been the best Homecoming in my four years here," commentedone Western senior. A 'Western' Legend A iScene From Skit Night The Queen's Ball last Saturdaynight was the climax to a flurry of activities. Steve Loughery provided soft music as well as some oi therompingest, stompingest music heard in this area in a long time to the transient crowd of students,royalty and faculty in the Gym. The College Dance Band played its usual fine brand of music in theViking- Union. Announced at each dance were the winners for the various competitive activities. DanielsHall won the award for the best men's house display for the. third consecutive year with an array ofcartoon characters reacting to a Bayview's Winning House Display WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN November 4, 1960 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1960 November 4 - Page 5 ---------- Burma Shave slogan. Bay vie w had the best girl's house display with its "Up Down Saloon." A "wishy-washy" commercial in a satire about television earned Todd Hall the award for the best skit. Bob'ssinging and Jim's piano playing enabled the Brown brothers to win the best in-between act at SkitNight. Announced at Skit Night were the winners of the beard-growing contest. Cal Graham and DuaneOlson were the fellows with the finest fuzz. The sophomore class won two honors by having thebest float and the best window display. The float was a covered wagon drawn by four paper machehorses. Kluane Hall had the best decorated car. Barbara Logsdon, lovely Queen Sig-rid XXIII, wasgraceful in the traditional dance with President Jarrett. She and her Royal Court concluded thefabulous weekend with the Last Roundup, after which the Western Roundup became a Western legend.AVERILL HARRIMAN Democratic Mudslinger by Frosty Billingsley The auditorium was packed lastTuesday with anticipant listeners intent on hearing the words of the ex-governor of New York, AverillHarri-man. Whatever it was all those people were waiting to hear from this noted personage, I don't thinkthey heard it. Instead they heard sarcastic generalities which seemed to this reporter to bedesigned for a political rally composed of high school reactionists. Perhaps it couldn't even qualify asa political rally. At a function of that sort, the party sponsoring the rally usually presents its plans andstands, and gives an intelligent, reasonable look at the failings of the opposing factor. This wassomething different. What the honorable Mr. Harriman presented was a Democratic mud-sling at theRepublican nominees, the present administration and the Republican Party in general. Mr.Harriman stated, "Unhappily, we have lost the image abroad of a nation that is interested in people. Wehave been demanding military alliances and the use of bases. It's 'what's in it for us militarily?' We areagainst Communism, but we haven't made it plain what we are lor." I would think that this comment could have been amplified during the course of the speech, but it wasn't. I still November 4, 1960 "KennedyLooks Forward" don't know what "we are for" or what Mr. Harriman's faction is for. "Lodge . . . ATelevision Star" I do know however that "our impartial correspondents have reported from abroad thedecline everywhere in our prestige," and that "There is no doubt that this (devastation and dislocationcaused by war) would have happened, had it not been for our (Democratic) inspired leadership in theMarshall Plan," and that "Nixon claims to be an expert on foreign affairs just because he had a kitchen debate with Khruschev," and that "Mr. Lodge is a nice fellow, but he's a television star . . . " (whateverstain on a man's character this implies). For one, I should like to have Mr. Harriman back for anotherspeech to elaborate on the only truly positive statement he made all evening, "Mr. Kennedy looksforward." AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK American Education Week will be observed the week of Nov. 7-12, with three lectures slated for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and several discussions andmovies also planned. Jim Boyles, President of Student Washington Education Association, announcedthat Dr. Jarrett will be the first speaker Monday at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union. His topic will be "Religion and Higher Education". Mr. Roy Mumme of the Education Department will speak later in the week. A series ofi movies during the week will deal with the aspects of education, with showings in the morningsand afternoons followed by discussions. : The five organizations which are sponsoring the week'sactivities are SWEA, the Association for Children's Education (ACE), Music Educator's WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN National Committee (MENC), Kappa Delta Pi and United Campus Christian Foundation. The first four are pre-professional student organizations designed especially for teachereducation students. SWEA is the future teacher's professional group. It assumes responsibilityfor improving the quality of tomorrow's teachers by offering opportunities to learn about problems andchallenges in the field of teaching, as well as the ethical and legal responsibilities of teachers. Oneprogram planned for January will be a mock placement interview, which could be invaluable to manystudents who fear such interviews. The Western chapter, which was awarded a trophy as the topchapter in the state last year, will send eleven delegates to the regional conference tomorrow in Seattle.^ ACE, geared for working with children from ages two to 12, has planned â€žne topic "The Child andthe Com munity" for this year's programs. Among the activities offered to college students are practice in preparing units in drama, reading, arts and crafts, music or games, or directing a unit of activities inany of a number of youth clubs here in town. MENC offers valuable programs for anyone interested inmusic education. Membership in the club provides opportunity for an active part in planning andoperating music festivals and contests as well as providing vital experience for aspiring music teachers.Kappa Delta Pi is a national honor society for education majors. Membership in the club requires athree-point gpa and is invitational. The club offers recognition for scholastic achievement as well assupplementing the teacher preparation program with further consideration of the teaching profession.STUDENT RECITAL The first of a series of student recitals under the auspices of the MusicDepartment is scheduled for 3 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 9 in the Viking Lounge. Performers to bepresented are soprano, Carolyn Fichter accompanied by Sheila Simpson; pianist, Beverly Carr; anda violin duo composed or Sally Cooper and Linda Lawson accompanied by Sharon Minge. This newcampus facility provides an ideal setting for the informal presentation of students for whom thisexperience is an integral part of their training.

The clash at Ellensburg will see the Viks try to spoil the Homecoming festivities of the 'Cats. This will also be a return match as the two clubs met earlier thisseason in Bellingham, with CWC coming out on the long end of a 19 to 3 count. every game. Last week, 3000 people saw evidence of this. With 24 seconds left in a tie ballgame, WWC quarterback SteveHansen faded back and fired a 34 yard strike to freshman halfback Roger Schmidt for the winning TDand a 13 to 7 victory over the Eastern Washington Savages. The game, until that point, had been adefensive battle between the two teams. Offensively, WWC dominated the first half while Eastern tookcharge in the third stanza. The fourth quarter was a standoff for 14 minutes Ladines garners 8 yards asRingenbach blocks Coach Abe Poffenroth's charges run from the multiple offense, using variations off the T and single wing from an unbalanced line. Their all-everything back, sophomore Harvey Rath, is justabout as big an offensive threat as is found anywhere in the Northwest. Running from the tailback sloton the single wing formations, Rath shines on the power sweeps with an occasional running pass.Rebounding from a first game loss, Central began to pick up steam. They knocked over three opponents,including Western, but were suprisingly upended last week by PLU. Obviously the Wildcats will befired up and eager to make their Homecoming a complete success with a victory over the Viks. ViksImproving Every Game However, Jim Lounsberry's Vikings are going to be out in full force to get sweetrevenge for their earlier loss to Central. The Viks, becoming more and more familiar with Lounsberry'sofiense, have been improving and 36 seconds until the big payoff. Almost all the Viks had their moments to shine on defense. Ron Ladines, Leland Wolf, Mike McVay, Roland Siggs and Jerry Beringer allturned in crunching tackles at one time or another. Steve Hansen accounted for both touchdowns as healso hit Doug Ringenbach in the end zone Cor six points. Ladines, Leroy Fuller and especially littleDale Johansen all ran very well from their backfield slots. "It was a sweet win." RUGBY Rugby Clubdrops 1st game by Ray Devier Last Saturday afternoon the Western Washington ruggers sufferedtheir first defeat at the hands of the UBC Physical Education team by the score of 8 to 3. The defeat, inthe words of Al Mathieson, player-coach, was due to the fact that "the team still lacks unity in its rugbyfundamentals." Experience was the major factor according to Mathieson. For the Viks, Gary Tangen scored the lone try. This week the Viks have been busy as they prepare to meet the Mara-loma RugbyClub, last year's second division champions. The representatives of this club later placed second inlast spring's California tourney. The game will be played in Bellingham at the Shuksan Junior HighSchool playfield at 1:30 p.m. SWIMMING Intramurals to begin All interested swimmers are invited toparticipate in the annual Intramural Swim Meet, which will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9 in theCollege Pool. If you are unable to form a six man team but would like to participate, leave your name with the secretary in the Physical Education Building. All entries must be in by Nov. 7. The eventsincluded in the meet are the free style, backstroke, breast-stroke, butterfly, individual medley, free stylerelay, and diving. These events are for both boys and girls.

Swine flu is a respiratory disease that causes symptoms similar to the seasonal flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, , body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Swine flu can also cause people to be more susceptible to other diseases, such as pneumonia. Dr. Emily Gibson, director of West-" ern's Student Health Center, said the health center has conducted rapid tests for more than 100 cases of flu-like symptoms, but all of the tests "came back negative. "They are coming in with classic flu symptoms," Gibson said7"But it is another virus, and is not something that is out of the ordinary for this time of year." Gibson said nurses are available by phone at the health center 24 hours a day for those who think they might be infected. The nurses ask callers to describe their symptoms and then determine if they need to come in for a test or to see a doctor. To minimize waiting time, the health center is encouraging students to call prior to coming in, unless it is an emergency. She. said if someone tests positive for swine flu, he or she would be quarantined and asked to avoid being on campus so they would not be in.contact with other people.

TUITION INCREASE Bleak outlook for student finances Jenny Farrington THE WESTERN FRONT Western students and Associated Students (AS) Board Members are concerned about future financial difficulties for students after the state legislature's recent approval of increasing Washington state universities yearly tuition cap to 14 percent for the 2009-11 academic years, AS President Erik Lowe said. The increase in tuition is designed to help Western offset the state's decision to cut its operating budget by $17.5 million. If Western's Board of Trustees approves the increase, students should expect to pay an extra $600 each academic year. "I mostly rely on financial aid," Western junior Glaire Russell said. "A lot of my tuition money also comes from grants. I haven't had to take out any loans yet, but now I will probably have to." The AS board tried to maintain the 7 percent tuition increase, AS legislative liaison Morgan Holmgren said. "The 14 percent increase is tied with the largest in the past decade," Holmgren said. "This dramatic increase will force more students to take out larger loans, and more students will have significantly higher debts." ' In 2002, the Board of Trustees voted to adopt the president's university op see INCREASE page 3 mmmm Western purchases energy certificates to create 'green1 production in Iowa Anne Maertens THE WESTERN FRONT Western has completed the purchase of its first 10,000 renewable energy certificates from its new provider, the EarthEra Renewable Energy trust, a part of NextEra Energy Resources. Western buys the certificates, which support "green" energy, to offset greenhouse gases emitted from its electrical use. In total, Western will purchase 40,000 certificates, which are optional, in 2009, totaling $140,000. The certificates are paid for through Western's $7 Renewable Green Energy Student Fee, one of the many fees of a full-time student. The certificates represent the difference in the cost of producing renewable energy versus the cost of traditional energy productioni like coal, said Ron Bailey, operations support manager at Western. Each certificate equates to one megawatt- hour of electricity produced. While Western will continue to purchase all of its electricity from Puget Sound Energy, they will spend an additional amount of money in certificates to support EarthEra's Endeavor Wind Farm in Iowa. For EarthEra, the excess cost for one certificate, or one megawatt-hour of electricity produced is $3.50, Bailey said.

NASA awards grant for Western project The 13 students from Western's College of Sciences and Technology who were selected to receive funding from NASA's Space Grant Consortium for a research project earlier this year will present their results during Scholars Week, May 18-22. The NASA Space Grant Consortium is designed to give students a more in- depth understanding of academic research espe-. dally for those students planning to teach science at any level. Western's College of Sciences and Technology was one of 16 organizations to receive funding from the NASA's Space Grant Consortium. Waterfront forum seeks public input on Western future Western will hold a public forum to receive input and reactions to ideas for potential waterfront development on Tuesday, May 12,from 4 to 5:30 p.m: at the Academic Instructional Center West room 210. The forum, offers the opportunity for faculty, staff, students, alumni and members of the community to comment and contribute new ideas to the physical elements of the waterfront campus and its relationship with the surrounding area. Input generated during the forum is necessary to prepare for future steps of the development. Northwest Native art evolution lecture Native American artist Shaun Peterson will visit Western's campus on Thursday, May 14, to present alecture entitled "Switching Current: Examining Northwest Coast Native Art's Accelerated Evolution in the 20th Century and Onward" from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Science Mathematics and Technology building room 150. Peterson's lecture will focus on his integration of digital media into his work and the resistance of fellow native artists. As a member of Puyallup/Tulalip tribes Peterson began as a printmaker but in the past few years has branched but into many different mediums including wood, metal and glass sculpture, digital media and writing. "Beartrek,, features world's rarest bears Filmmaker and conservationist Chris Morgan will visit Western's campus on Friday, May 8 to discuss local bear conservation efforts and the making of his upcoming feature-length documentary entitled "Beartrek: A Global ^Campaign and Feature Film about a Motorcycle Quest to Seek the World's Rarest Bears." The presentation, which is free and open to the public, is part of the Huxley. College Speaker Series and will be taking place at 3 p.m. in Communications Facility room 125. News Briefs compiled by Elizabeth Hanson and Megan Jonas Western estimates reducing 164 jobs Western President Bruce Shepard released a draft of the operating budget for the 2009-2011 biennium Wednesday that projected 164 employee positions will be eliminated due to the $18.9 million reduction in Western's operating budget. The impact of the decision will be lessened by cutting vacant positions first and by trying to find other positions at Western for some employees whose positions will be eliminated. Still, Shepard estimates 40 people whose contracts expire at the end of the academic year will not be re- hired and 25 additional people will have to be laid off. Apublic forum regarding the biennium budget will be held May 14 at 2:30 p.m. in Academic Instructional Center room 204.

Currently, the average student at Western owes roughly $18,000 in financial aid debt upon graduation. With the 14 percent tuition increase, students could expect to graduate between $23,000 and $25,000 in debt, Holmgren said. "I'm going to be affected because this is my last year being supported by my parents," Western junior Amanda Waugh said. "So it's definitely not the perfect time for the increase, and I just don't know if financial aid will cover all of my costs." While this dramatic increase in tuition is upsetting to many students, some understand the reasoning behind it, Holmgren said. "I understand the college doesn't really have a choice," Western junior Andrew Bethman said. "I'm just glad I'm go-ing to graduate next year. I've been taking 20 credits every quarter to get out of here as fast as lean." With the tuition increase, diversity in Western's student body could also be impacted, Lowe said. "People who are going to be the most affected by the increase in tuition are students of color, first-generation college students and students from low-income backgrounds," Lowe said. Essentially, the university is going to shut out those people they are supposed to be serving as an institution, Lowe said. "It's upsetting because the economy is going downhill, and I don't have the money to pay for this even though it's necessary," Western senior Sharon LeB-eau said. "It's hard to have to think about ture; we need people in office who realize the value of higher education. "No one cares about the future educa- " I understand the college doesn't really have a choice. I'm just glad I'm going to graduate next year. I've been taking 20 credits every quarter to get out of here as fast as I can. paying more when we just don't have the money." . Lowe said the tuition increase is a result of the crisis in leadership the students have when it comes to the state legisla- - Western junior Andrew Bethman tion of the state. It all boils down to getting re-elected, and no one is holding them accountable," Lowe said. "We did the best we could as students. We need a legislature who understands the importance of photo illustration by Brandon Kays THE WESTERN FRONT higher education." When things get bad economically, education is the first thing to get cut, Lowe said. "The university doesn't have a choice; we are past the point where we can advocate for more money," Lowe said. Most students will see the value of higher education and will end up crippling themselves getting that education, Lowe said. However, making that choice ends up having some negative costs after graduation that many students are unable to anticipate now, Lowe said. "Some will say 'I can't afford.it,' but more will put themselves in that debt," Lowe said. "This means it will take them longer to afford homes, start families and people will be taking jobs that pay the bills rather than finding that job that's important and meaningful to them." Western freshman Patrick Shelton is a first-generation college student and said the tuition increase seems unfair. "My family and I didn't even really know what we were getting ourselves into with this tuition increase," Shelton said. "It's just going to make it even harder on us now with me having to take out more loans." However, Lowe said there is a silver lining and learning opportunity with the tuition increase. "Students need to realize how important it is to be knowledgeable of and participate in state politics," Lowe said. "Relatively few people participate, and the result is a situation like this where the legislature is not held accountable and everybody suffers." NOW PRE-IEASING FOR FALL QUARTER!!!

By supporting a wind farm in Iowa, Western is chipping away at the overall production of non-renewable energy. Producing wind power creates a lower demand for coal, which is the main energy generator used in Iowa, Bailey said. Bailey said Iowa is in greater need for green energy production than Washington because the Pacific Northwest predominately uses hydropower, which produces significantly less greenhouse gas than coal. "The general belief within the scientific community is that greenhouse gases cause climate change, and it is necessary to take steps to reduce [the gases] in order to stop the change," said Rose Woofen-den, president of Students for Renewable Energy. Influencing a region of the United States in need of cleaner production was one of the criteria considered by a panel made up of Students for Renewable Energy, faculty and staff when they evaluated the nine possible certificate .providers, Bailey said. The panel used a formula developed by Western economics professor Dan Hagen to analyze the companies. It determined that EarthEra had the greatest greenhouse gas offset while costing $100,000 less than PSE, Bailey said. "The formula is unique to Western and unique to the whole process," Bailey said. "We came out with a method to purchase [certificates] based on their environmental attributes." The local environmental impact, negative or positive, created by the facility, was another determining factor. A wind Eckankar presents !!!!Â§ Satutclay afternoon sessibn is FREE fop ^; tKeentire Weekend. farm in the middle of a farmer's field will have a different environmental impact than a wind farm in the middle of a city, Bailey said. Finally, the panel wanted to support "additionality," which means Western's financial support will help the certificate provider go beyond its normal development and create more green energy through wind or solar power, he said. Not only was the decision to use EarthEra unanimous, Woofenden said she was pleased with the process as a whole and hopes to improve the process further over the years. Students had a say in nearly 60 percent of the decision. "They came to us and said, 'You're the students, how would you like to do things?'" Woofenden said. "This is our future, our money, and they were here to assist us, which we really appreciated." Many schools in the U.S. buy certificates to offset their environmental impacts, said Blaine Collison, director of Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Challenge. Holding the most certificates out of the nine schools in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, the EPA has recognized Western.as an individual conference champion in its 2008-09 College and University Green Power Challenge. The challenge uses athletic conferences as a means of comparison because . the conferences usually contain colleges of similar size, Collison said. It highlights pockets of leadership to encourage other schools to join in and help create more demand for green energy, he said. "We're trying to leverage the demand side of the market in order to stimulate the supply side," Collison said. "We want to show producers that people care about where their energy comes from." pfctocpurtesyof University Communications These solar panels are located on top of Western's Viking Union, they are examples of Western's efforts to use green energy to reduce its carbon footprint and help the world by using power sources that produce less greenhouse gas than other energy sources, such as coal. ---------- Page 5 ---------- westernfrontonline.net I Friday â€¢ May 8,2009 NEWS I 5 Huxley professor gauges demand in energy major Tristan Hiegler THE WESTERN FRONT When Western professor Andy Bunn checked the sign- up for his energy and the environment course during winter quarter, he noticed the. class filled up within the first couple minutes of registration. The demand from Western students for a renewable energy program is over* whelming, Bunn said. The few classes offered in the department of environmental science that are focused on energy have filled up immediately, he said. Bunn, an assistant professor of environmental science,.is working to introduce a renewable energy major. He said the project is still in the works, but he is optimistic about its eventual success. Western junior Casey Pape has designed his own environmental science major at the Huxley College of the Environment with the emphasis on energy. He said he was surprised at the lack of an energy curriculum, but remained hopeful about the progress the creation of such a curriculum could bring. "In my opinion, it's a way to bridge a lot of gaps and to tie a lot of departments together," Pape said.' Bunn said the major would combine teaching science, policy and business. He said the major would draw on these elements to turn students into professionals well suited to work in the current renewable energy field. "We're trying to.build a program to span the range," he said. Western alumnus Orion Polinsky said when he attended Huxley in 2008, no comprehensive curriculum existed in. renewable energy. As a student interested in the field as a potential career path, he had to design his own major. He said he would like; to see the process streamlined for.future students interested in the field. â€¢T wish they had it when I was going to school," he said. v : Polinsky is currently the co-founder and director of research at Whole Energy Fuels Corporation, which produces biod^ iesel'for the Pacific Northwest. He said there is a definite need for a streamlined training process on renewable energy both in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Bradley Smith, dean of Huxley College of the Environment, said he thinks the world needs leaders in therenewable energy field. The creation of the major would involve bringing together the needed expertise and packaging and reshaping photo by Katie Greene THE WESTERN FRONT Huxley environmental science associate professor Andy Bunn is working to create a renewable energy major at Western. Bunn said a course program on renewable energy would bring together science,, policy and business. it into the knowledge and training that the world needs in the field right now, he said. Smith said the feedback for the program from the administration, faculty and students has been positive. "This is an area in which Western could be a leader," he said. Western senior Tyler Llewellyn said Western's involvement in the emerging renewable energy field would help the university expand its reputation as a sustainable campus and bring in new students and faculty from across the nation. Llewellyn, who will be going to the University of Washington for a master's degree in environmental science, said students would benefit from an interdisciplinary renewable energy major because it would give them the scientific, engineering, policy and business knowledge they would need to be successful in the field. Bunn said the program is still a few steps away from actually being created, because many steps at the university level and the state level are needed before getting a major approved. Demonstrating the need for the major and acquiring funding are two of the most important steps. Bunn said the need has been identified, but the tricky part will be to get funding for the program. Bunn said the next step is to create a workshop over the summer during which renewable energy professionals who would visit to the university. These professionals would study the current curriculum and how it can be synthesized into something complete. He said they will be looking at the holes in the current curriculum and work to build a complete energy curriculum from the ground up.. "There's a lot out there, what we need to do is to focus it," he said.' President Barack Obama has pledged to triple production of renewable energy in the next three years, Bunn said. The stimulus bill contains more than $30 billion for renewable energy. Much of the development will take place in the Pacific Northwest, andthe area does not have the work force to meet the expected demand yet, he said. In addition to the work on the renewable energy major, Western is addressing sustainability in several other ways. Seth Vidana, coordinator for Western's Office of Sustainability, said the office is campaigning to reduce electricity, water and natural gas consumption and solid waste production on campus. The effort is called the 10x10 Campaign, which aims to reduce consumption and production by 10 percent by the end of 2010. "Sustainability takes the long view," Vidana said. "Our investments now can reap significant benefits for this year's budget and for years to come." The renewable energy major would train students in clean energy practices. Western already cuts the impact of its greenhouse gas emissions and electrical consumption by buying Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): Ron Bailey, operations support manager with Western's Facilities Management, said the university switched to a new provider, NextEra Energy Resources, in January. RECs are certificates the university buys that allow the provider to put back into the power grid the amount of energy Western uses, all from renewable sources. Currently, the RECs are used for a wind farm in Iowa. Western buys enough RECs to fund the wind farm, which contributes the same amount of electricity Western draws from the Washington power grid to the Iowa power grid. Bailey said the certificates do not mean Western is powering itself with renewable energy but is neutralizing its impact on the environment by funding a pro-cess* that gives back what it takes in terms of power.

She said it is possible for swine flu to transmit from animals to humans, but it is specifically successful at transferring between humans. Swine flu can be spread by germs released from coughing or sneezing- Western senior Laura Binder said she is constantly in contact with other people as she works the front desk at the Wade King Student Recreation Center. "It is.definitely a little scary," Binder said. "But, I think it is a normal flu epidemic that's.been-blown out of proportion." According to the Centers'for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an average of 36,000 people die from the seasonal flu each year, whereas only two swine flu-related deaths have occurred in the U.S., compared to 42 in Mexico. Gibson said the first swine flu-related death in the U.S. was a toddler from Mexico whose family was visiting Texas. The second death was a 33-year-old woman who lived in Texas near the U.S.Mexico border. "We don't know why Mexico had all the deaths, but it certainly put everyone on notice that this could be a more virulent virus," Gibson said. The CDC has confirmed 23 cases of swine flu in Washington; the total number of states with confirmed cases is now 41.

As of May 7, there are 896 confirmed cases of swine flu in the U.S., according to a CDC update. "Swine flu is the most overblown, ridiculous paranoia," Western freshman Darren Veit said. "The public just goes crazy over what the media hypes up." Western freshman Drew Plommer said he is not worried about swine flu because it has not yet affected him personally here at Western. - None-the-less, Binder said she is concerned about getting sick and is washing her hands more often to try and stay healthy. Gibson said it does not take much to prevent infection of swine flu and seasonal flu. Currently, no specific vaccine exists for swine flu, but she strongly encourages students to get the seasonal flu vaccine because seasonal flu is also dangerous, she said. Another prevention method for swine flu and seasonal flu is the use of face masks. However, Gibson said while the masks are ineffective for people who are not sick, it is important for people who are coughing or sneezing to wear a mask. But she said the best prevention is what we doourselvesbystaying heajthy in general. y^^^^^g^^gj^^g^^^^^M _. ixfiksKKiii D I P H OTDTI m WARNING: ALL PATRDN5 DF CDSMIC BiNGD ARE ENCDURAGED TO BE LOUD.

The study shows that 92 percent of recent college graduates have at least one credit card and carry an average outstanding balance of $8,612, up 10 percent from 2003. Because of such a growing concern, Western will offer Finance 215, a three-credit course designed to give students a basic understanding of their finances this summer. This is the first time Western has offered this class since spring 2007. The summer course became necessary in response to a survey showing Western students lack understanding of major personal finance concepts, said Pam Hall, associate professor of finance and marketing. "Arm yourself with knowledge," Hall said. "Know what you're getting into when you borrow money." Last fall, four Western students conducted a survey for a marketing class with the goa^ of educating students on how to manage debt. Western alumnus Spencer Covich, along with three Western seniors, presented their findings.April 16 to Washington Sen. Patty Murray on their Financial Literacy Project survey. The survey results, which will be submitted to a financial education journal, showed women scored significantly worse than men in every category, except for money management, where they out-scored men, Hall said. The worst category overall was retirement, followed closely by understanding debt. PamWhalley, director of the Economics Education Center, said it is becoming more vital for students to understand basic personal finance concepts because of the economy. Students can go wrong and fall victim to things in many ways, such as identity theft, which can result as simple as students neglecting to check their credit report regularly. "The demands that are being placed on people in regards to their financial knowledge are growing astronomically," she said. Whalley said she had to learn about money the hard way. College students need to understand leasing, renter's insurance, car insurance and choosing benefits in their first job. She said the most important thing students need to understand is credit. "Your credit record is your permanent record," Whalley said. Lee McClain, a Western professor of decision sciences who will likely teach Finance 215 this summer, said employers are beginning to look at applicant's credit scores as they make hiring decisions. Credit scores can disclose personal hab- ' ' A rm yourself with knowledge.

Hall . said she was appalled at the results and knew she had to offer the personal finance class again. . Hall said she helped students develop questions based on the survey's six broad categories: understanding debt, insurance, investing, money management, retirement and taxes. ; Hall said she wants to get the university to offer the class as a general university requirement (GUR). Of the nearly 1,70.0 students polled in the survey, 75 percent said they would be willing to take, the class as part of the GUR, Hall said. Covich said 97 percent of student participants said they believed personal finance was important to study. its, such as whether applicant's have paid their bills on time, which employers use as a measure of the candidate's character and reliability, he said. Hall said the class is geared toward non-finance majors and requires basic high school math skills including addition, subtraction and multiplication. "[Math] shouldn't be something that scares people away from taking it at all," Hall said. Topics covered include basic concepts, such as budgeting and how to select and appropriately use a credit card, to the different kinds of stock and what types of insurance a person needs, Hall said. The class is relevant and addresses financial goals from a personal standpoint instead of a corporate one, McClain said.

"They're not the only one who has screwed up a budget." * Hall said students will be asked to do a fair amount of critical thinking in the class, and students will calculate their budget and net worth, compare renting versus buying, find how inflation plays a role in their saving for retirement and evaluate different kinds of mortgages. Hall said she believes financial illiteracy is one of the factors that led to the current economic crisis. If people had a â€¢basic understanding of financial concepts, they could have made better informed decisions, she said. Money causes unnecessary stress in peoples' lives, and understanding basic financial concepts could reduce it, Hall said. "We had people taking out mortgages they couldn't afford," she said. "If they'd known they couldn't afford it, then they would have never done it." McClain said whether students take the class or not, they can educate themselves in" basic finance by simply picking up a book or magazine on personal finance at any local book store. Although, he said he thinks students would be doing themselves a favor by educating themselves now before they get too far down the road. gt; Whalley said she wants students to be informed so they can make smart decisions and avoid making preventable mistakes. "We're.not trying to make everyone hedge fund managers," she said. "We're just trying to give them the knowledge and skills they need."

White lines seem to stretch out forever. For a moment everything is silent except the hum of the engine in his white '97 Ford Explorer. Not even the sound of the Russian orchestral soundtrack CD inside his stereo can be heard, as he has grown tired of. hearing the same music everywhere he goes. The digital clock on the stereo reads 11:17 p.m., and Dizney knows he will need to be at Western's Old Main Theatre to teach Introduction to Acting at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, co-actor David Folsom has joined Dizney on the trip to Seattle, where Folsom plans to stay with his girlfriend. â€ž One hour before, Dizney and Folsom were bowing for.a small audience after performing Tony Award-winner Tracy Letts' adaptation of Anton Chekhov's classic play "Three Sisters" at the Artist's Repertory Theatre (ART) in Portland. Dizney plays the role of Lieutenant Colonel Vershinin and Folsom plays Lieutenant Tuzenbach, who is more often referred to as the Baron. The two characters are soldiers in the Russian army at the turn of the 20th century. "Three Sisters" highlights the fall of the Russian aristocracy at the turn of the 20th Century; the 14 central characters wrestle with a desire to find purpose through labor. Vershinin attempts to convince the frustrated and dissatisfied sisters that the future will be inherently rich with prosperity while the Baron claims working hard in the present is the only way their generation can find purpose. Directly following the performance on Sunday, May 3, two days before "Three Sisters" would open to the public, Dizney and Folsom embarked on the 260-mile drive from Portland back to Bellingham lasting from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. the next day. Fueled by roughly three hours of sleep,.Dizney walked into the Old Main Theatre Monday to teach Introduction to Acting at 8:30 a.m. Jon Kretzu, director of "Three Sisters" and associate executive director at ART, said despite having such a strenuous schedule Dizney has performed without reservations. "I know that it's a pain to have to go back and forth and teach and do a large role, but it just never showed up in rehearsal," Kretzu said. "That's exactly what you want from an actor who's, trying to juggle a million things." Kretzu said he came to Dizney with one of the play's leading roles because he knew Dizney's acting history and was confident in Dizney's ability to portray the strong, optimistic role of Vershinin. Kretzu cast Dizney in the world premier of Richard Kramer's comedy drama "Theatre District" at the ART three years earlier, Dizney said. Based on his work in that play, in addition to Dizney's previous performances, Kretzu decidedWinvite Dizney"'to play Vershinin Without an audition. "[Theater professors] have to practice their craft once in while,". Dizney said. "It's important to take myself out of the academic world sometimes." Since the start of spring quarter, Dizney has managed to juggle five days of acting with two days of teaching each week. Nevertheless, he said he kept his priorities in line from the start. "When I agreed to do 'Three Sisters' I told Jon [Kretzu] my primary obligation is with the university," Dizney said. "He heard me and agreed to make it work." Dizney said Kretzu was willing to help compensate his travel expenses since Western's theater department does not have the funds to support a professor's outside projects. Also, as a member of the Actor's Equity Association, a labor union that represents American actors, Dizney said the ART is required to provide housing for actors who live out of town. While rehearsing at the ART, Dizney has been staying in a third floor loft at Rosalie and Ed Tank's Victorian style home near Portland's famed Washington Park. Rosalie Tank has worked at the ART as its business manager for 25 years. After four and a half hours of driving, Dizney and Folsom pull into a driveway in Seattle's University District where Folsom's girlfriend, a grad student in the University of Washington's Professional Actor Training Program, lives.

"How could I expect to teach something like acting without continuing to do it myself?" Western senior Caleb Joslin, who has been Dizney's teaching assistant for the past year, said Dizney has managed to bring the same level of energy and vitality into the classroom this quarter as he has in the past. "He looks tired a lot but definitely makes it work," Joslin said. "It's been a pretty seamless melding of the two so far." Western theater department chair Deborah Currier- said she has always supported a professor's outside projects because [the projects] bring an extra element of strength to a department. During fall 2008, Dizney directed "36 Views," which was shown at Western's Performing Arts Center Main Stage, and during winter 2009 he directed "The Diviners" at the Bellingham Theatre Guild. . "It was a no-brainer to help [Dizney] work out a flexible schedule," Currier said. "We recognize these projects as part of the job because we don't want our faculty teaching in a vacuum." Dizney said teaching also plays a major role in his professional acting. He said he constantly checks his own acting in light of his teaching as well as the problems his students face as they learn the fundamentals of acting. This includes discovering the physical characteristics of a character or conveying that character's unique personality in a believable way. "WhenT'm teaching I constantly think about my own acting, and it becomes easier to break down problems I may be having on stage," Dizney said. "I ask myself, 'Am I practicing what I preach?' It's funny and scary at the same time." He said his students often provide the necessary pressure for him to critically assess his own problems in acting. "I never worry about what my parents or co-workers or friends might think when they see.me perform," Dizney said. "But when students come see a show it can be the most intimidating thing of all." After speaking with his colleagues at the ART, Dizney organized a group of five Western theater students to travel to Portland on May 29 and shadow a professional - whether it is a stage designer, costume designer or actor - as they work on a live performance. "Giving students the chance to shadow their counterparts for a week is the perfect way to offer first-hand training and professional connections," Dizney said. "This is something they wouldn't otherwise get in a typical classroom setting." Dizney is scheduled to perform two Wednesday matinees during the course of the show, which means he will need to miss classes and head to Portland on two separate occasions. He has arranged for Kretzu to teach two of his classes as well as host an auditioning workshop at 5 p.m., May 27, in the Old Main Theater. "When Patrick was telling me he had these classes that would be hard to get away from, Isaid, 'Well, I'll come teach your classes that day! No problem,'" Kretzu said. "I love Western, and this just seemed like the perfect little opportunity to get back up there and see some people I haven't seen in a while." Western theater professor Rich Brown will choose four students to audition and receive notes and critique from Kretzu. The workshop will be open to other students interested in watching Kretzu work.

She said regardless of the inevitable time management issues and the personal expenses of pursuing outside work, these projects can broaden the experience, foster a fresh eye and propagate a new perspective - not only for Western's theater professors, but for their students as well. Dizney said he would like to cultivate a strong relationship between Western's theater department and the ART so students can have more opportunities to meet and learn from professionals in their specific field. He said the ART is an accessible, appropriate fit for college-level actors in the Northwest because Bellingham does not offer professional theater opportunities. Seattle theaters tend to rely on more experienced actors, and the ART produces cutting edge plays and rely on local talent. ' "[ART] doesn't do crowd pleasers like 'RENT, they're a mid-level regional theater that doesn't have to appeal to a broad market," Dizney said. Back in Portland, the ART's green room is scattered with cast members, some half dressed and others in full costume and still others catching a few minutes of sleep before the show begins. Dizney walks toward the overcrowded dressing room as the stage manager walks in saying, "Half hour'til go, everybody. Half hour'til go." "It's a labor of love, man," Dizney says. "A labor of love." : ---------- Page 10 ---------- 10 I ARTS LIFE Friday â€¢ May 8,20091 The Western Front THE SECRET LIFE OF DINOSAURS EXPOSED Thomas Bennet THE WESTERN FRONT Visualize entering a museum with the the iconic skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex standing vigilantly, towering on its haunches, its tiny front arms curled in the main exhibition hall. Its jaws wide as it appears to lunge for the skeleton of a nearby brontosaurus. However, many museum visitors do not realize that their ideas of what dinosaurs looked like are wrong. The T-Rex was not an upright savage and the brontosaurus is not even a real dinosaur; both have been misnamed and misshapen by scientists for almost 80 years. Students and community members were given a look into the past Tuesday at Bellingham Gity Council chambers when Western geology professor Thor Hansen gave a lecture titled "The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs." In his lecture, Hansen discussed new discoveries in the fossil record and presented new theories about dinosaurs and their behavior, such as how they walked, based on the new discoveries. Hansen said the title of the lecture was meant to be provocative. He said the bones do not give enough information to be able to know how dinosaurs acted, but bones do provide enough clues to make some assumptions based on the behaviors of modern-day animals. "The life of dinosaurs really is a secret," Hansen said. "Anything we think we know about behavior is all based on guess work." Many of the most commonly recognizable dinosaurs, such as the long-necked sauropod the brachiosaurus, the T-Rex and the velociraptor, have been misrepresented by artists and Hollywood blockbusters, Hansen said. For example, Hansen said the brachiosaurus, with its neck held high, tail dragging and legs wobbling under its immense weight is the most commonly misrepresented dinosaur. Hansen said since a dinosaur would leave footprints and tail marks at the same time, the tail marks would have been equally preserved alongside the footprints. - "When we find the tracks of the brachiosaurus, we never find tail drag marks," Hansen said. "They probably walked more like elephants than anything else." Not only were the drooping tails a huge error, but the tall, vertical neck was also the creation of a misinformed sketch artist, Hansen said. "When computer models of the sauropod bones were made, scientists found that the joints in the neck couldn't bend that far," Hansen said. So ignore the sneezing brachiosaurus from the movie Jurassic Park and imagine an herbivorous giant with its neck and tail outstretched, almost parallel to the ground, grazing on low vegetation. Hansen said another dinosaur that has been misrepresented is the T-Rex. The museum skeletons of the king tyrant lizard have been morphed to fit human perceptions of the ancient reptile. "If you look closely at a museum reconstruction of a T-Rex skeleton, ypu will see that the tail has been broken for it to lay flat on the ground," Hansen said. "Like the sauropods, again there has been no tail drag marks associated with the T-Rex." In this case, Jurassic Park was, for the most part, accurate in portraying the physical appearance of the T-Rex as horizontal with a big, heavy tail being used to counterbalance a thick upper body over the dinosaur's hips. Hansen said one of the most surprising discoveries was an observation of velociraptors. Recent findings of pores in bone fossils, more complete skin impressions and .egg fossils suggest they may have had feathers. "The fact that these dinosaurs had feathers changes a lot of things," Hansen said. "It suggests that they may have been warm-blooded and further implies the links to modern birds." The offspring of the two-legged species of dinosaurs would have had soft, down-like feather for insulation purposes and would lose them as they got older and began to hunt on their own, Hansen said. Besides pop culture, Hansen said textbooks still publish inaccurate photos and even the Discovery Channel Web site uses the upright T-Rex pose for a children's coloring sheet. In addition to his geology classes, Hansen teaches a class called Geology 303, Dinosaurs and their Environments, which is dedicated to dinosaurs and their habitats. Western junior Lily Kahn, who is currently taking the class, said it has taught her a lot about dinosaurs that she never could have imagined were true. She said the most surprising thing was not the differences between dinosaurs and humans but the similarities. "It always seems like dinosaurs are totally alien to us," Kahn said. "But a lot of things haven't changed over the course of evolution, like their skeletal structures [which] are very similar to ours." ,. Hansen said there are more dinosaurs yet to be discovered by scientists.. "There are a few thousand named dinosaurs and about a half a million that actually lived," Hansen.said. "For every dinosaur species we find, there are 99 more that we haven't found." At the corner of State Ohio â€¢ Mon-Sat 6am to 2pm â€¢ Sun 8am to 2pm â€¢ 734-8687 Breakfast, and lunch served all doy!

A major component of the festival's influence over the years has been its annual Fine Arts Poster. ' " . . '. Western graduate and Seattle artist Warren Dykeman will have his art featured on the Fine Arts Poster at Bumbershoot this summer. Dykeman's art will be alongside famous artists, such as Modest Mouse, The All-American Rejects, Katy Perry, De La Soul and others. Various kinds of local art, such as dance, literary arts, theatre and film, are also on display at the festival. Bumbershoot is one of the largest music and urban arts festivals in the world; the festival gives praise to big-and small-name bands as well as local artists "We seek quality, original-art by any Seattle-area artist," Jennifer Orr, public relations manager for Bumbershoot, said. "We are proud to continue the legacy of supporting local artist and their outstanding work." Every year, a Seattle artist is chosen to feature his or her artwork on the Festival's Fine Arts Poster. This year, Dykeman's piece "Fullness" was chosen. Dykeman grew up in Kennewick, Wash, he said his art reflects his graphic design interest and is guided by folk and pop art. Dykeman lived just outside of the'Hanford Nuclear Reservation under the shadow of America's atomic ambitions. The Cold War era also influenced him during his youth and gave him inspiration as an artist, he said. "Western played a big part as far as shaping my interest in art," Dykeman said. "I initially came to Western with an interest in graphic design. Then I signed up for one of Ed Bereal's painting and drawing class. Once I started doing it, I was hooked." Dykeman said he started painting after college as a release from his full-time job doing design work. He said painting was a way he could do whatever he wanted after spending all day being directed by executives and clients. "I had a show in 2000 at the Roq La Rue gallery in Seattle, which is a pop surrealism/new contemporary art gallery," Dykeman said. "It featured some very dark work; as I look back at those paintings they were large and horrific. Everything I did turned out bad, and I am surprised I kept working at it." photo courtesy of Warren Dykeman "Fullness," a piece by Western design graduate Warren Dykeman was selected as the 2009 Fine Arts Posterior Bumbershoot, the annual Northwest arts and music festival. For more art visit Dykeman's Web site at www.warrendykeman.com. In 2004, Dykeman said he was invited to show in the BLK/MRKT One Group art show in Los Angeles. He worked a different style and played around with sumi ink, which is an Asian traditional ink made from soot, water and glue. He said his work drastically improved by trying different styles and he has been showing and selling ever since, he said. Dykeman's painting "Atomic Autobody" was on display at the BLVD Gallery in Seattle last November when One Reel, a Bumbershoot partner, contacted Dykeman about submitting a few works for the Fine Arts Poster. "I didn't do the painting with the poster in mind," Dykeman said. "I usually work on several paintings at once and ideas from one painting will flow to the next. My paintings influence my paintings." . Dykeman said he has a small TV in his studio that plays documentaries while he paints. Images and words will often come up that he will put in his paintings, he said. Dykeman also sketches images that interest him which he then scans on the computer. "One week I will be looking at an artist like Henry Darger, and the next, I will be obsessed with information graphics and letterforms," he said. "My inspiration changes every day." Dykeman's work draws upon elements of folk art, handmade sign lettering, digital art and collage. Dykeman said he uses a variety of materials and his work produces a rhythm between contour, color and mistake. Dykeman's art fits right into the qualifications applicants must have according to the Bumbershoot art application found on its official Web site, being work that is affordable, not yet sold and from an artist with a strong reputation as an "emerging artist." Dawn Cerny, the 2006 featured artist, submitted her piece titled "The Artful Scheme of Happiness," which was part of a series of silhouettes she cut originally for an installation piece. "The past Fine Arts Poster alumni are a really bad ass crew," Cerny said. "I feel like my reputation is enhanced greatly in Seattle after being featured on the poster." One Reei's Programming Department, with input from community advisers, selects art fo be displayed on the Fine Arts Poster and purchases the work with limited license to use it on the poster and a small number of T-shirts or other promotional items. "It's a really big deal and a great honor to be featured on the Fine Arts Poster, Cerny said. "Any artist should be proud."

Students from all over the state and nation flock to .the nationally-recognized, innovative college to take classes, such as folk music experience, introduction to script writing and social relationships and responsibility. Fairhaven's unique system of letting students design their own majors, tailoring them to their personal interests and aspirations and relying on detailed feedback instead of grades, gives students an opportunity .to expand their skills beyond the normal college experience. But these opportunities are in danger. Currently, Fairhaven serves approximately 425 students, and relies on a staff of only 21 professors. This is a feat, considering some departments on campus serve the same number of students with almost double the number of faculty. The Fairhaven faculty, have felt the squeeze of maxed-out space capacity. Two professors have been forced to use closets as offices arid other professors have had classes held in their offices due to a lack of available classrooms. Fairhaven was originally built in 1963 and rapidly grew in popularity. It was used as a model for The Evergreen State College in Olympia. After educators recognized Fairhaven's enormous potential to serve.students looking for an alternative college experience. Fairhaven also offers alternative learning experiences for students enrolled on the main campus. More than two-thirds of the students in the audio and video recording classes are students from other departments, only adding to the popularity of Fairhaven classes. Despite recent construction projects to expand and better serve Western students, Fairhaven has not been expanded in 46 years and no expansion plans are planned for the foreseeable future. The administration seems to be more. concerned with the waterfront expansion project and Miller Hall renovations than remodeling or expanding Fairhaven to Letters to the Editor: Western women keep radical bathroom discussion alive As many women at Western have noticed, due, perhaps, to Jaime Fife's editorial piece published in last week's issue of The Western Front, there is a forum of feminist (and not-so-feminist) discourse occurring in bathroom stalls across cam1 pus. While I appreciate Ms. Fife's contribution to the discussion, I feel that her piece missed the crucial components of why this conversation is so powerful. Since her article was published, the original comments in the Haggard Hall bathroom stall have been (for the most part) erased, though some still linger behind a thin coat of beige paint. What has replaced them seems to echo Fife's suggestion of "rotating pieces of butcher paper in bathrooms stalls" to accommodate the discussion. In black Sharpie, "Free Speech Board" is scrawled along the top of the door. Below, forced sentiments of sisterhood and "love yourself mantras abound. But no, it isn't a "Free Speech Board." Not at all. In fact, expressing yourself through bathroom prose is ILLEGAL. And that's the point. The real power of this forum of communication is the setting. In a multitude of ways, the act of writing a pro-woman statement post-urination is an act of empowerment and rebellion. How many of us have repressed memories of middle school lunches spent huddling in a bathroom stall, waiting out the agonizing period Of social awkwardness? For many, the bathroom stall has been a place to hide from feelings of inadequacy and adolescent embarrassments. With this history (for the most part) behind us, we are now using this place as an arena of empowerment. And, in my opinion, there is no better place. Four blank walls surround youâ€”free of advertisements for better bodies, better sex, better clothes. This is the only time that many women confront their own bodies in a de- sexualized way. It's a time to yank down your pants, address your primal need to piss and interact with your own vagina. Why not make it a time to connect with other women in the same vulnerable state and commerce-free environment? Finally, so what if it gets erased? It gives somebody a chance to renew the sentiment, keep it fresh and alive. Perhaps it even gives the custodian who paints over it a few chuckles or insights. The institution's negative response to the vandalism is what lends it the power of rebellion. So female-identified population of Western, if you choose to honestly contribute to this radical bathroom discourse, please do so authentically and with the deepest regard for the empowerment of your sisters. Keep the discussion alive. Lauren Erickson Western senior Firearms enhance safety In the May 5 article, 'Former Professor Working to Preserve Local Bear Population': When asked "How do you keep yourself safe while working around bears?" Chris Morgan responded that he knows bear behavior intimately and is respectful. "I don't approach them; I allow them to make the moves," Morgan said. He also mentioned bear-proof containers and pepper spray for bear safety. It would be helpful if those doing good work for bear preservation admitted that pepper spray may not be enough to stop a charging grizzly. When Anchorage, Ala., had numerous bear attacks last year, local government wildlife officials responded with firearms, not just pepper spray. Similarly, as Glacier National Park had the most bear attacks in the contiguous U.S., rangers responded with firearms. Yet, since firearms are prohibited at the better serve students who are suffering from a lack of classrooms and resources. No relief is in sight for Fairhaven. The recent budget cuts will significantly reduce Fairhaven's teaching staff and reduce the budget for college operations by slightly over 50 percent, leaving $20,925 to operate the college, according to a budget presentation by Fairhaven Dean Roger Gilman. The current lack of space and further reduction of Fairhaven resources not only shortchanges Fairhaven students, it is an unfortunate reflection of how Western has devalued the alternative education experience. Western needs to step up and better serve Fairhaven students by expanding the facility and supporting its growth and popularity instead of cutting more of Fairhaven's already limited resources. The Editorial Board is comprised of Editor-in-Chief Jeff Twining, Managing Editor Gabrielle Nomura, Opinion Editor Danielle Koagel and community member-at- large Joel Holland. . park, the general public is advised to use pepper spray. This double standard was a big reason why George Bush enacted a federal law allowing firearms in national parks before he left office. After Barack Obama was elected, that law was immediately ruled unconstitutional purportedly because environmental concerns were not given proper scrutiny. Practically speaking, this means the issue most likely will be shelved indefinitely as people continue to be mauled at Glacier National Park. As difficult as it is to argue for firearms given the horrific trauma caused by gun violence, allowing firearms in national parks, specifically in this instance for bear defense, was a step in the right direction. Remember world famous bear photographer Michio Hoshino? A grizzly killed and ate him in his tent on the Kamchtka Peninsula in Russia. And like Chris Morgan, Hoshino loved, respected and knew bears intimately. Yet his tragic death showed bears will, at times, kill indiscriminately. Hopefully, Chris Morgan will include in his talk this Friday the warning that pepper spray may not be enough to stop a charging grizzly.

Nationals will be held May 8-10 in Fort Collins, Colo., and will consist of three different races: a road race, criterium and a team time trial. Western's team is sending two women, graduate students Daisy Phillips and Kristen Stouder, and four men, seniors Phil Elsasser, Ben Rathkamp, Tim Woods and freshman Steve Fisher going to nationals this year. Phillips, Stouder and Elsasser have competed in nationals before. For the others, including Fisher, the competition will be a new experience.' "I think everyone did really well a$ the [conference championships]," graduate student and cyclist Ariel Wetzel said. "Everyone on.the team is pretty stoked and supportive. We've had a strong team over the past couple of years, so we were expecting to go to nationals again this year." Western took second place in the conference championship, clinching a spot at nationals. Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., who consistently brought a larger team to races than Western, took first place, said Phillips, Western's cycling team president. Whitman always has more women racing which gives them the advantage because they can compete in more races, Phillips said. "Although getting second in the conference isn't bad, we had won the last three years, so it's a little disappointing; but we will get them next year for sure," junior Chris Kliem said. The team is hopeful for continued success, Phillips said. The altitude change in Colorado will also present some addi- - tional challenges, he said. "We don't know how people are going to respond [to the altitude] because everyone is affected differently," Phillips said. "Colorado schools that are used to the elevation will definitely have the advantage in the competition." Phillips said the conference championships were particularly good for beginning riders. "It was great for the team because a lot of new riders had a fantastic time and were able to gain experience that will be important in future seasons," Phillips said. Western's women will not be able to race a team time trial at nationals because they do not have enough women competing, which will cost the team a lot of points in their run for overall Division II, but the team remains optimistic, Kliem said. "There are so many people there, which can be both good and bad," Kliem said. "Hopefully, we will take advantage of the situation and get some good results." Besides the Colorado schools, the team's biggest competition will be Dartmouth College from Hanover, N.H., and Massachusetts Institute of Technology from Cambridge, Mass. Western finished third behind M.I.T. last year. However, Phillips said they never really know who will be a force. Western's club cycling team was established in 2003 and consists of about 25 riders of varying abilities and experience, ranging from those who have never raced to riders who hope to continue on to compete at the professional level. "That's the nice thing about racing at , Photo courtesy Patrick Means Western senior Tim Woods pulls ahead of fellow teammate Tyler Given at the Northwest Collegiate Conference Championship April, 26 in Moscow, Idaho. the collegiate level; there is category for everyone," Phillips said. The team began their season in the fall as new members joined and were taught basic training skills and what to expect over the course of the racing season. As the season moved forward into the winter months, practices got more frequent as the team began to ride multiple times a week, focusing on drills in preparation for racing. After working through the fall and winter months, Phillips said, the team began their racing season in the spring. "You form really tight bonds with people on the team because we suffer through training together all season and then spend weeks racing together during the season," Kliem said. During a race, riders gain -some interesting experiences and get a number of adrenaline rushes, Kliem said. Photo courtesy Patrick Means Western rider Luke Shoemaker battles for a winning time on April, 25. "Sometimes in a race you will hit crazy, fast speeds on some descents that you totally wouldn't take as fast in a car, so it's interesting in that sense," Kliem said. "I have been trying to go 50 mph for a while now! I have yet to make it, although I did get up to 49.7 mph."

Kendall Mercer THE WESTERN FRONT The Western women's golf team's season came to an end Wednesday, May 6. The Vikings finished three strokes away from securing a birth to nationals at the seventh annual NCAA Division II West Super Regional May 4-6 at the Ironwood Golf and Country Club in Omaha, Neb. Western senior Kaitlin Parker tied for fifth place in medalist play, qualifying her to move on to compete in individual play at nationals. Parker shot 236 strokes and finished the tournament with, a final round 82,10 strokes over par. "It's exciting. It was our goal to get there as a team, but I'm really happy for Kaitlin," head coach Bo Stephan said. "She's the only senior, and she's going to get to finish her career at a national championship. I'm happy that she got a chance to finish really well." The Vikings played 54 holes during the three-day event and ended with a total of 978 strokes to finish in fifth place. The Vikings were the No. 3 seed at this year's championship and placed second at the regional level last year. "There were a couple of teams that played a little better than we did," Stephan said. "We just didn't get it done." Western junior Breanna Carmichael said it was not lack of preparation or confidence that caused the team to. falter on the last day of the tournament, it was just the luck of the draw. "I honestly think it was bad luck," Carmichael said. "We were ahead coming into the last three holes and we knew that we needed to finish strong, and we all did terrible." Tarleton State University (TSU) from Stephenville, Texas, won the regional title for the third year in a row with a 10 stroke lead and a final score of 954. Stephan said that the layout of the golf course might have played a factor in the Vikings' overall performance. "It was probably the most difficult course we played all year," Stephan said.

Western seniors Kelly Thees, Mike Eisele and junior Kaylin Bettinger qualified for the all-star team for the first time in their collegiate water skiing careers. The all-star team is made up of 30 athletes from the Western Region. Thees and Bettinger will compete in the women's jump event and Eisele will compete in the men's jump event. Western seniors Aly Howisey and Brian Zuleger round out the five Western, skiers competing for the Western Region All-Star team in the ski association at the all-star tournament on May 16 and 17 in Ahoskie, N. C. Both Howisey and Zuleger will compete in the three traditional water ski events: jump, slalom and trick. Howisey and Zuleger will compete at the tournament for the second year in a row. Last year, the Western Region All- Star team won second place overall and won first place in the slalom event. "It's a really big improvement," Thees said. "It's a team confidence boost to know we have five people going." To prepare for their performance in the jump event at the all-star tournament, Thees said the women are trying to improve their jump distances by practicing more challenging jump maneuvers. When the boat pulls a skier toward the jump ramp at an angle, a technique called "cutting," Thees said the .skiers gain more momentum, which allows them to nearly double their jump distance.

Thees said time conflicts kept many skiers from competing. Howisey and Zuleger did not compete because they already qualified for the all-star tournament at the Western Collegiate tournament on April 24 in Blaine. At last year's tournament all-star, Zuleger said he felt a lot of pressure competing on a team with the best skiers in the region. But once he got comfortable, he said all the skiers on the team help each other out by suggesting ways to improve their technique. Since Western's water ski team is a club sport, attendance, practices and tournaments are not mandatory. "We push each other to do better," Zuleger said. "It's a good atmosphere for competing." At last weekend's tournament, Eisele placed 16th out of 49 in the men's trick event. Western Region All-Star team chairman Harley Wallace said Eisele, who was originally an alternate on the all-star team, was moved up because other competitors from the Western Region dropped-out.. Thees' 44-foot jump tied her for eighth place in the women's jump event and qualified her for the all-star team. She also took 16th place in the women's slalom event. Wallace said the team has shown more of an improvement in performance than any other team in the region over the past year and a half, especially in the women's jump. The top five teams from each of the ski association's four regions qualify for the national competition in the fall. With continuous practice, Wallace said Western has the most potential out of the Western Region's 18 teams to qualify for nationals. see WATERSKIING page 15 Aiithentic jvlexi lt;:ar)^uisine;; IflllllfiiiiiiilftlSiS iiliilliiftiitfMls^ilii ill ADVERTISE!

Koppenberg said he was first exposed to golf at age 5 when his father took him to the driving range. At 10, Koppenberg began competing in junior golf tournaments before playing on the varsity golf team for four years at Everett High School. Koppenberg was named Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Play-er- of-the-Year for the second year in a row April 22. The GNAC award goes to the player with the lowest stroke average throughout the conference play. Koppenberg averaged 71.12 shots per round of golf. "It's great to be [player-of-the-year] for the second year," Koppenberg said. 'It means that 1 have been doing what I'm supposed to do." On April 22, the Western men's golf team won the GNAC title for their second consecutive year, coming in first out of four teams. Koppenberg also took first place honors in individual play. "We're all very impressed with him as a team," senior Brandon Brown said. "We try to model ourselves around him." The Vikings placed 10th at the 47th annual NCAA II West Regional Champi- Photo courtesy of the Western Athletic Department Western senior Jake Koppenberg tied for 28th at nationals last year. onship May 4-6 at the Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb. Koppenberg shot two strokes under par 69 to secure a place in medalist play at the national championship, which is being hosted by Western on May 19-22 at the Loomis Trail Golf Club in Blaine. Koppenberg currently holds the school record for lowest scoring average by an individual player per season with 71.13 average in 23 rounds. Last year, Koppenberg broke the 2002-03 record set by Western senior Tim Feenstra of 72.64 shots per round by 0.16. Koppenberg is a general studies major in his second year at Western after transferring from the University of Idaho. Last year, Koppenberg took both the Player-of-the- Year and Newcomer-of-the-Year titles at the GNAC Championships, and he said things have been looking up ever since. "[University of Idaho] wasn't the best fit for me; I made a lot of friends but definitely wasn't going to excel at golf over there," Koppenberg said. "[After coming to Western] everything kind of clicked and came together. I had a good year last year and it's just getting better." Koppenberg said he plans to play as an amateur golfer through the summer before looking to turn professional after graduating from Western. "Next fall, I'll probably turn professional," Koppenberg said. "I will either go to [qualifying school] and try to get on one of the tours, or I'll just play around here as I finish up [at Western] next year." Qualifying school is an annual series of tournaments where players from all over the world compete to earn membership into one of the professional golf tours, including the Professional Golfer's Association (PGA) Tour and the European Tour. Western's men's coif coach Steve Card was also named GNAC Coach-of-the- Year for the second consecutive year. With the help of Card, Koppenberg said his golf game has matured this year because he has learned to be more patient, which has led to improvements in his consistency. Koppenberg said Card always knows exactly what to say to players to inspire them to play better and to not be discouraged. "He's a great golf coach. He knows a lot about the game and it's easy to play well with him," Koppenberg said. "He's just as good of a friend as he is a coach." Western senior Brandon Brown said Card, who is an avid Bruce .Springsteen fan, often plays his music before tournaments, which helps everyone on the team relax. Western junior Julian Peters agreed Card has been just as much of a friend and a father-figure to him as he is a coach. On at least one occasion, Western freshman Jake Webb said he has even accidentally caught himself addressing coach Card as "Dad." At last year's regional championship, Western came in second before continuing on to tie for eighth place at the NCAA II National Championship. Western men's golf team was ranked as high as fourth in the region April 17 by the Men's Golf Committee. WATERSKIING: Strives for national competition from 14 In previous years, Wallace said Western's team made fewer appearances at tournaments because most of the competitions were held in California. This year, the teams' improvement has motivated them to participate in more tournaments, Thees said. The warm weather in the southern parts of the Western Region provides teams from Arizona State University and Chico State University with a longer practice season, giving them an advantage over Western. Wallace said. Since the all-star championship will be held in Asheville, N.C., Wallace said the Eastern Region has an advantage because skiers do not have to travel as far as skiers from other regions. Taking first at the all-stars tournament is going to be a challenge for the western region team because many of the region's best skiers from schools such as Arizona State, graduated last year, Eisele said. "Our region isn't as strong as it used to be," Eisele said. "It's really up in the air air." i^lilBSMKi^dS^^^fl^iaB^ WSmiSM IB^S!illilil!iHi^(Si^8l IlilSiSlMlBi^BiiillBlSliiBI IBSIKililiiiiiiiB^^^^^^Bi Bill q||iri* lt;sif - ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ â€¢ " â€”-â€”â€¢ FOR RENT 3 BD/2 BA duplex for rent.

Western finished 10th among 20 teams competing and did not qualify for nationals. The Vikings entered the three-day, 54-hole regional as a No. 3 seed. The tournament consisted of 20 schools as well as eight additional individual golfers. As a team, Western shot its best round of 296 strokes in the third and final round Wednesday, but it came too late. Western did not make it into the top five qualifying schools. The Vikings finished the tournament with a total of 907 strokes. The top five finishing schools were - the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs in first with 863 strokes, Cal State University Stanislaus and Sonoma State University tied for second with 866, Cal State University San Bernardino in fourth with 875 and Grand Canyon University in fifth with 888. â€¢ . . Western head coach Steve Card said at this point in the season there is a heightened sense of the moment and the intensity level is up, but the only thing that matters is that the team plays well. "We don't do anything radical at this point in the season," Card said. "We try and mimic the grass and yardage of the course." f Card said the team had been improving through the spring as the weather got better, which helps level the playing field with the Southern teams. Card said the team is used to playing at mid to long courses, and he would have "We went in there with really high expectations as a No. 3 seed. Not even placing in the top five was disappointing. - Julian Peters, junior golfer liked to see the team rise to the challenge, but the 7,016-yard course was tough. "They are excited," Card said before the match. "They've recognized things coming together for them, but it takes more than that." Following the match, Card said intercollegiate golf is a team sport, and it takes the entire team of five guys to win a national championship. "You've got to get out there and play well for three days," Card said. "You need all five to play well." Card said in their last two tournaments, two or three players did well, which helped the team finish high, but in order to win a championship the whole team has to perform. Competing in his third regional tournament, junior Julian Peters knows what to expect in postseason play. Photo courtesy of the Western Athletic Depafment Western junior Julian Peters shot 1 Over 72 on the second day at the regionals. "We went in there with really high expectations as a No. 3 seed," Peters said. "Not even placing in the top five was disappointing." Working on mental toughness is important in golf, especially at the collegiate level, Peters said. "At this level, everyone can compete physically; everyone can hit the ball well," Peters said. "The mental game has the biggest role." The pressure to make a comeback' from the team's rough second day made finishing well more difficult, Peters said. Western will host the national championships May 19-22 at the Loomis Trail Golf Club in Blaine. The teams competing are the top five finishing colleges, and the top two individual golfers from the super regional in Nebraska. Senior Jake Koppenberg qualified as one of those individuals: "Having Jake qualify for nationals was a bright spot, but we didn't do what we wanted to do," senior Brandon Brown said. "It was disappointing for the team. We wanted to make it to the national tournament." Brown said the course was challenging and it was a little windy, but that is standard stuff. He said he is not letting the disappointing ending of his college career deter him. He plans on competing in amateur competitions throughout the summer. "It's a life-long game; this just starts a new chapter in my career" Brown said. "I want to be a professional someday." Peters said he also plans on competing in amateur competitions to stay in shape. PPPPP

Most people take the attitude of "lock 'em up and throw the key away," when discussingmental patients. However, mental illness is a disease, not a crime, and must be treated like any otheraffliction, such as pnuemonia or tuberculosis. , CLASS VISITS HOSPITAL On a recent trip to Northern State Hospital at Sedro-Woolley, members of Dr. Manzer J. Griswold's course in SocialDisorganization, viewed these social misfits, people who still are, because of lack of proper facilities;victims of society. The state is now spending an average of $2.21 per patient per day on the mentallyderanged. This amount is supposed to cover not only food, but treatment. Treatment, which is needed bymaladjusted individuals includes a vast re-education program to the patterns of living in the "outside" world in addition to hospital care. When there is a lack of funds, recently admitted patients are given moreextensive care than the "long-termers," who may only receive a check-up twice a year. - The physicalplant, containing 2,500 patients, is overcrowded. The inmates are not housed according to the type ofmental disease they have but according to degree of violence. Thus a person who is a schizo-phrenic, or"living in another world," inhabits the same ward as a feeble-minded individual does. STUDENTSSHOCKED When students toured the building, they were shocked by conditions. For instance, therewere six beds in a ward built for four. There were 13 beds in another room with little space between them. All the women patients were attired in cheap print dresses. One ward smelled terribly. No wonder onestudent said "I wasn't very impressed." Sedro-Woolley has its good points, too. The patients seemovies, have church services, and are .entertained weekly by staff members. They have an orchestra, and television will be installed as soon as reception is improved. PUBLIC SHOULD ACT It is time, however,for us, the public, to recognize the adverse conditions at Northern State and the other two state hospitals. After recognizing the conditions, we must urge our legislators to appropriate more money forrehabilitation of mental patients. Saving Stamps Saves Lives A Korean child, homeless and starving, hasbecome a familiar picture in all our minds. Newsreels, magazines, and newspapers are full of scenes ofthe devastation and poverty that has befallen the people of that war-torn country. Upon seeing thesepictures we momentarily pity those concerned and want to do something for them. Too often ourinterest wanes rapidly when the stimulus is removed. We then wonder, what can we young people inWashington, do to help? The answer is easy. In the front hall of the main door there is a box. Abovethe box there is a sign urging us, the students and faculty members of Western, to help Korean childrenget nourishment. For every 40 cancelled stamps put in by us, one glass of milk may be provided for oneof these youths. * This is not too much to ask. Almost every student receives some mail during thequarter. It takes but little time and effort to tear a stamp from an envelope and deposit it in the box. Thegirls in one of the organized houses have shown their interest in those less fortunate than themselves byplacing a jar near the door for stamps from the letters they receive. When fiNed, the contents of the jarare brought to school and placed in the box. This is only one way of supporting the drive. Each of us asan individual may back it on our own. Let's do it!

Professor Polya is lecturinj throughout the State during a tour sponsored by the Nationa Science Foundation. * He will speak here Tuesdayafternoon at three o'clock. The subject of the talk is "Archimedes and the Discovery of the IntegralCalculus;." An evening meeting possibly will be held. Due to the. fact that Professor Polyaarrives here in the morning he will have time to meet faculty memtoers and interested students in theMath Office during the time before his lecture. Professor Polya is the author of many books, the mostrecent of which is a two volume set. Volume one is entitled "Induction and Analogy in Mathematics"and volume two "Patterns of Plausible Inference." He does a fine job of illustrating how plausiblereasoning is used in mathematics The basic methods of plausible reasoning are induction, analogy,tideflats Sing for Western "Ok fellas, let's try that again; only this time employ a modulation to thedominant key using a Five- S i x - F i v e chord." Immediately there's a tuning-up and a male quartetbreaks into song to try what in plain English is a key change. Anyone who has ever wandered the hallsof the. A-M building during the noon hours of the past two quarters might have heard something likethat. And what they would have heard were "The Tide-flats," singing it sweet. "The Tideflats" consist ofWally Vopnford, Bass, who in the opinion of Matt Gudmundson junior, "could sing lower, but he ran outof notes on the piano;" Bob Harnden, baritone, believed by some to sound just like a Crosby. John(always-on-pitch) Cchermerhorn the lead; and the top tenor, Gene Langill, complete the group. Thisfoursome, working under the eagle-eye of Mr. Richard Paige, choir director, has blossomed into aquartet Western can be proud of. Starting from scratch at the beginning of the Winter quarter, and as adirect result of Mr. Paige's formation of the Men's Glee club, "The Tideflats" have entertained manyorganizations to date and are booked for numerous others in the near future. Clowning is part of every"Tide-flat" concert and these boys enjoy it as much as their audiences. One of their funniest numbers is"Four Of The Three Muskateers" which they use as an opening number and, according to their tenorGene Langill, really loosens up the crowd. Other numbers in their repertoire include "I Talk to theTrees," a pep number;."Have a Little Talk With Jesus," a Negro spiritual. Both were arranged by Mr.Paige. Also in their collection are "Ain't That A Shame," "The Old Songs Medley," "She's More to bePitied Than Censured," and "Goodnight Ladies," all arranged in true Barbershop fashion. "SophomorePhilosophy," from Mr. Paige's former quartet days, rounds out their repertoire. Highlighting thisquarter's work was their audition for the Blossom Time festival talent program. The contenders have notbeen announced as of this date so the quartet (Continued on Page 8) generalization, and speculatioiPolya forms examples to illustrat these basic methods. The examples are of a great ya riety, depth, and are fascinatin to" the reader. They range fror elementary algebra and plane ge ometry to advancedanalysis. Polya wishes to aid students wh would like to get into mathematic to help them "attain thedeligl of discovery and the thrill of crc ation." He wants teachers and text book writers to show thestudem how theorems and proofs are at rived ,at rather than giving then just the hard; cold step by ste]formal science of mathematic! They should present the vitalit and the art of it. From a book review of theScien tific American magazine of Marcl '55 we find that "his book is ad dressed primarily to students de siring to develop their abilities ii mathematics and secondarily teachers. "A lay reader also will learnmud about the origin of math and aboii plausible reasoning. The material i both volumes is fresh andhighl original; the presentation is stimu lating, informal, and occasional! humorous; the examples fromsci ence, legal reasoning and daily lii make the arguments clear even t a non-specialist." If the type ofbook signifies th type of speech we will hear, should be an interesting and ilium inating talk.

It is nearly impossible to describethe mixed emotions and thoughts that were displayed at "Sam" night which was held to honor Mr. SamCarver, retiring director of intramurals. The event was held Monday evening. As everyone knows "Sam" is serving his last official quarter at WWC. This is his 43rd year on the faculty. During this long period Mr. Carver has worked in nearly every capacity on the coaching staff. Getting back to the Monday night affair, the alums came from every corner of the state to attend the all-male banquet in honor of theirformer coach. The ravages of time could be seen everywhere. Former fleet-footed guards and backs, now not so fleety displayed signs of prosperity where a.few years back, rock-hard muscles lay ready foraction. NO THRILL FOR SAM No doubt it was a thrill of a life time for "Sam" to see many of the "kids"he helped guild along the path to success. In his many years of service to the Blue and White, Mr.Carver worked with many coaches, and everyone that knows the veteran of the athletic department, hasthe highest respect and admiration for him. Here are a few words by head basketball coach, BillMacDonald. "Sam .Carver is one of the most sincere, considerate and hard-working men that I haveknown. It will be impossible to replace him. He is not really leaving Western. He will always be with us.The associations he has developed through forty-three years on the staff will continue as stronglyduring his retirement as they have in the past. Western's loss is retirement's gain." The director ofathletics, Charles Lappenbusch, has worked hand in hand with Mr. Carver for many years. This is whathe has to say about the popular retiring director of intramurals. "During all of the years of his coachingMr. Carver has done a splendid job and has had the respect and admiration of hundreds of fine youngmen. His understanding of problems of young people has given him the foundation for excellentjudgement dealing with decisions in his teaching and coaching areas. 119 W. Magnolia WANT TOSTART EATING AGAIN?

"Our boys are the underdogs," said tenniscoach Charles Lappenbusch," but our attitude is all in favor of a win if we can get the performance." He went on to say that CPS is bringing Bill Medin, who has been the winner of the conference meet for thelast two years. Medin also represented the conference in the national meet in Abeline, Texas for twoyears. Western's two returning letter-men are Terry Whalen and Ken Moffett. "As a team," Lappenbusch said, "They're improving." Last Tuesday's match between the Loggers and Western was rained out.

The beards will be judged in the following categories: The woolliest,curliest, scroungiest, reddest, blackest, leastest for the mostest, and the fanciest. The Collegian co-editor and the ASB president-elect were overheard attempting to persuade Miss Rolie into an eighthcategory: The smoochiest. The men also suggested that this group be inspected once a week so thatthe judges could note progress. CAMPUS DAY COMING The coming of the beard raising contestmarks the opening of Campus day events.

After 42 Years at Western, Coach Sam Carver Retires A great job well done, is the leastthat a person can say ,^0 the tremendous work Sam Carver, chaimran of the Men's Physical Educationdepartment, has done to help bring Western's athletic's up to the fine standards for which it stands today.Mr. Carver is going to retire at the end of the summer quarter after 42 years of service at Western both as a* coach and as a teacher. In 1912, at the age of 22, Carver came to Western (at that time known asBellingham Normal) as a baseball coach. During those days there were no inter-collegiate athletics.Instead, Carver recalls Hhat the only competition was against the local YMCA, high schools, townteams and athletic clubs. ONLY COACH For nearly the first ten years Carver was the only coach at thecollege. Since that time he has coached the five major sportsâ€”-golf, baseball, basketball, track, andfootball. When asked which sport he liked coaching best, Carver replied, "I really enjoyed coachingtrack."

In recalling some of his most outstanding performers Carver went back to the track seasons of 1930- 31 and 1931-32 when he was coaching two of his most outstanding athletes,Norman Bright and Danny Qagnon. Bright ran the mUe in 4:13 and later went on to national fame.Gagnon was a sprinter who ran the 100 yard dash in 9.7 and the 220 in 21.4. Carver also named DickBruland, a 6'3"-190 pound lad as the best football player he ever coached. DIG MACK STARS One ofCarvers most memorable experiences occurred during a football game in which Western was trailingthe College of Puget Sound by one point with about one minute to play. The field was muddy, and thewater logged football was about three times overweight, but with the ball on the 30 yard line "Big Mac"kicked a field goat which won the game for Western. Carver's favorite hobbies are gardening and golf.When his retirement begins, he plans on getting in a lot of golf when the weather's right, although, inhis^ own words, "I suppose, some of those winter days will get pretty long."

The Cassenti Players, according to George Zukerman, bassoon player and spokesman forthe group, organized their ensemble because they felt there was a great need for that type of music incolleges and schools. Zukerman said they are hoping to interest students in becoming musicians andbetter audiences.

The productions, which' will be given May 20 and 21, are-v'the biggest we have stagedsince I've been at Western," commented Mr. Mark Flanders, Speech department. . According to Mr.Flanders most of the 65 costumes needed for "Dido and Aeneas" are being made by his costumedesign classes. Flannels, terry cloths, frnd other drapeable materials are being used for the simple, yetelegant Grecian robes. A new twist is being tried for the soldiers of Aeneas' train. "Do-it- yourself"aluminum will be used for their armor. Though the sets for "Trial by Jury" are designed to. .look like thetypical; formal, Victorian courtroom, the stylized, cartoon-type painting gives an air of light-heart-edness to the whole show; Because Victorian costumes require a great deal of time to make and areonly rarely used, the women's attire for the Gilbert and Sullivan light comedy will be rented from aSeattle costumer. Jurymen and male spectators will wear four-button suits and high-collared shirtsconverted from their own wardrobes.

Teaching Opportunities Bright In Far Pacific, Alum Reports While getting a golden tan, one .of neurotics, and just plain in-may earn a salary of $5,256 to j competents. No attempt had ever been made to work with the people in developing their own Ideas on education." TWO STEPS NEEDED Heexplains that two steps must be taken to start the ball rolling in the right direction. First, a nativeteaching staff must be established regardless of the "sacrifice of standards," and the Americanclassroom, teachers, as such, must be eliminated. The next step is to get real American teacherswho can work as in-service supervisors and teacher trainers. At the present time there is a nucleus ofthree people beginning the teacher training, and it is expected to grow within a year or more. Mr.King defends the inhabitants of the islands by saying that the natives of the islands are not primitive in the sense of the bush men of central Africa or the Australian aborigine. They really have a highlydeveloped culture and are very stable. They are content to remain as they are with minor adjustments tomaterial aspects of modern civilization. There is a continual conflict be-between "felt" and "real" needs."Felt" needs are rice and canned salmon and fancy shoes. "Real" needs are better sanitation andhousing and the ability to understand and adapt to the various facets of our civilization. It is Mr. King'sjob as an employee of the Department of the In-t e r i o r to continue what the Navy and United Nationsbegan. They must make sense out of what was done initially too hastily and with little thought for thepeople involved. TRY OUR DRIVE-IN CASH AND CARRY MILK PLAN Save 14c a Gallon PACKAGEICE CREAM At Our Drive-In Hill view Dairy 1824 Cornwall Avenue We Serve Lunches andRefreshments $6,325 per year; so reports A. R. (Dick) King, a 1948 graduate of Western, now employed in education work in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, the United States trusteeship areaunder United Nations jurisdiction. Recently Mr. King wrote a letter to Dr. R. F. Hawk, director ofstudent teaching and the campus school, telling of the urgent need for teacher trainers on theseislands. ALLURING FACTS Here are some more alluring facts about this position. The teacher andhis dependents are given free first class air transportation from the place of recruitment. His householdgoods are shipped free of cost. The salaries are $5,256 for a one year probationary period and apermenant salary of $6,325 per year, including a 25 per cent cost of living allowance. However, the workcontinues for one whole year instead of the usual nine month period. Leave is allotted. Every two yearsan employee is allowed round trip transportation to the place of recruitment. The islands have a goodfood and medical supply. Mr. King says, "Life out here f s both rewarding and comfortable." After WorldWar II the United States Navy and a few Americans occupied the islands. They said, "Let there beschools because schools are the foundation of democracy." TEACHING STAFF PROBLEM Mr. Kingwrites, "Our schools were originally set up with all American teachers and staffed with whatever camealong on the theory that one school teacher is much the same as another." In Mr. King's district alonethere are some 2,500 students, 48 elementary schools, plus one intermediate school.

"Effectively, we didn't have any goals," Higgin-son said. "We all knew we were there to serve the students, but somehow everyone there had a different view ofwhat the board of directors should do." According to the Viking Union Finance Office, the AS collected$224,016.60 this year from tuition. Of this, Higginson received $1,250 and AS Vice President Hugh Larkin received $625. Other board members do not receive salaries. Proposals brought up at the beginning ofthe year were not acted on until much later in the year. Examples of these are the AS by-laws revisionbrought up at the second board meeting and not acted on until late winter quarter, and the AS salaryincrease brought up at the first board meeting and not acted upon until the third meeting winter quarter."We were either not dealing with things or tabling them," Higginson said. According to board membersSue Hirchert, Stephen Barrett, Jeff Larsen, Marilee Fosbre and Kay Burke, this pattern of hesitancy inacting on agenda items persisted throughout the year. Higginson disagrees. "I admit fall quarter I wasnot chairing the meetings effectively, but I changed in good faith and feel I was doing a good job,"Higginson said. "I think if you ask any of the board members they would agree that I functioned the wayan efficient chairperson should." "AT THE FIRST of the year Carla (Higginson) did not have themanagerial skills to be president," Larsen said. "She did not become more efficient at chairing themeetings." Larsen admitted he and Barrett had been assuming the presidential duties. "Barrett and Ihave been policy writing and soliciting information since the beginning of winter quarter," Larsen said."That's what the president should be doing." "Carla (Higginson) wasn't around, I don't know why, I didn'task her; but I am not one to talk because I wasn't around either," Larkin said. "I got more involved withthe bookstore than my job required and besides I didn't have an office." Higginson too, admitted that as apresident she had been circumvented by other board members. "It wasn't due to my lack of initiative theytook over," she said. "The AS president doesn't have a lot of power. Out of necessity I had to step down." - On April 2, 1975, Larsen gave Higginson an ultimatum with a majority of the board's approval. "We'dbeen working around her (Higginson) for six or seven months; something had to be said and done. I toldher to either shape up or ship out," Larsen said. The ultimatum was based on a series of accusationsincluding mis-use of travel funds, refusal to recognize board members during meetings, failure to meetwith the advisor when requested to do so, failure to maintain scheduled office hours and emotionaloutbursts and personal attacks directed at board members from the chair. - "Never, never in the meetings were personal attacks directed toward board members," Higginson said. "I've never refused torecognize board members," and it's "absolutely and completely untrue that I did not maintain my officehours; I was there every day," she said. Higginson also denied all other accusations. According toShahin Farvan, at-large member, the blame for the board's inefficiency this year is not the fault of oneperson. "It's a mixed up personal conflict. They (board members) don't know that when it comes tobusiness, they should leave their personal feelings out. Some of the board members are very immature,they're holding personal grudges," he said. "That's why our agendas are continually postponed." CARLAHIGGINSON "It's a fact the board took sides a few times and Carla (Higginson) just happened to be onthe other side," Larkin said. "People didn't use tact in handling other people." The students that wereelected this year were perhaps not the best students to accomplish student needs," Hirchert said. "If our elected students are aware that what they do and say is made public they act more efficiently This iswhy the Western Front should have given us more coverage this year," Hirchert continued. Barrett, thenewly elected AS president summed up this year's board's effectiveness. "This competes with one of theworst years the AS has ever had." AS uses code to solve communication problems IWMMISniTC.mv.Â«m,. .... . . . _ J *uâ€ž*. â€žÂ»Â« I HERE'S WHERE THE GOING GETS ROUGH - Last Thursdayafternoon, members of Huxley's guerrilla theater did an outdoor skit on campus, poking fun at the K-2expedition. These two members are making their imaginary descent along the "pass" that leads to the"mountainâ€”K3," technically it's the sculpture "For â€”â€”-â€”~â€” : - DENNIS RITCHIE AFTER ATHREE year experiment, the Associated Student government is facing an identity crisis. Moves are being made by next year's AS officers, with help from present members, in an attempt to alleviate theproblems. In the three years that the AS has been legally a corporation and not a student government, ithas had problems with its system of a Board of Directors and various councils under the board.Problems have arisen during all three years between the AS president, who is also chairperson of theboard, and the board members. The identity problem, according to next year's AS president, SteveBarrett, is "The AS is a student government using a corporation model. A board, under the corporationmodel, oversees management but not necessarily day-to-day operations." The reorganization planswhich are being discussed will be worked on during the summer before a public hearing and a studentvote on the changes will be this fall. The plans deal with setting goals, accountability of councils andbetter lines of communication.' These plans will be part of a written policy that, according to Barrett, willbe a definite operating code. The code would deal with hiring and employment practices and staffing ofvarious college committees which are presently done through word of mouth. THIS WRITTEN CODE willspecify the lines of communication between the councils and the board. Barrett warned, "We should have preliminary budget proposals and post-budget checks to see if any abuses occurred. Abuses happen ifthere is no control or accountability." The present system doesn't require that account- "Things are being done that are not even approved at the council level. If no one questions a decision, it'll just happen thatway." One of the most wide-ranging proposals that may be considered is a change from the presentcorporate structure. One suggestion would have the board handling corporate board matters while a newcouncil would replace the board in handling student government matters. Another alternative would havethe AS board made up of representatives of the several AS councils. Jeff Larsen, an outgoing AS boardmember involved in reorganization planning, said there could be problems with that proposal. "Themembers could have great expertise but they may not be considered 'representative' because they arenot elected by the students." SEVERAL PEOPLE MENTIONED problems of expertise with the presentmethod of some members elected to sit on the board and also on a council while some board memberssit in at-large positions with no specified responsibilities. Under his leadership, board members will beexpected to specialize in some field. Barrett said. However, he admitted there would be no concretemethod of requiring specialization. AS advisor Kay Burke pointed out that history supported the wisdomof specialization. She said, "In every board, the people who are dealing with something else are the mosteffective." Some organization proposals have already been approved. In passing new by-laws severalweeks ago, the board created a new position of second vice president. This would be filled by thechairperson of the student caucus of the All-College Senate. Hirchert explained the new vice president,who will be elected next fall, would deal with academic matters that involve the Associated Students and the senate. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 More students, less faculty cause Western worries LIZ RUSTMOST DEPARTMENTS at Western are suffering from a serious case of faculty malnutrition. Andalthough the state legislature has not made a decision on faculty formula, an increase in the budget fornext year looks doubtful, according to James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Threeweeks ago, Western's six deans expressed a need for a total of nine more Full-Time Equivalency (FTE)positions to meet minimal staffing requirements next year, while only six are expected to be available.Due to legislative cutbacks in funding Western suffered two years, all departments have been operatingon 15 per cent budget cuts, Davis said. This has caused serious problems throughout the campus. "It isa matter of survival for three quarters of the departments on campus," R.E. Stannard, chairman of thejournalism program said. "Without more faculty, they are confined." Stannard said the journalism program is "holding down the staff to the faculty level we had when we had one-half the number of students on the .program that we have now." The program has four faculty members for next year, where it needs six tomeet the current level of demand, he added. According to Pat Friedland, director of the recreationprogram, that program is also in need of more staff. For the 220 recreation majors, there MUSICALCLASSROOM CHAIRS? are currently only two full-time faculty members. "We need four to go aheadwith the spring program for next year," she said. "This year we managed but next year we can't."Friedland said the demand for the spring program is so great that next year's has already been filled."THE COLLEGE WILL just have to make a decision about whether or not they want to keep theprogram," she said. In the past two years the number of students in the biology department hasincreased from 50 to 250 and the faculty has been cut from 20 to 14.5, according to department headClyde Senger. The increased enrollment is due largely to the great influx of pre-med majors, he said. But because of limited facilities and inadequate staff, the biology department may have to consider "turningoff the (pre-med) program" by discouraging pre-med students from attending Western. Louis Barrett,chairman of the physics department, said, "With the present staffing we can't give the necessarycourses." Although lack of faculty is the most serious problem, the physics department is also indesperate.need of new equipment. "Technological advances require it," Barrett said. A new planetariumis one of the facilities the department would like to acquire. But, according to Barrett, there is less than a 50-50 chance of receiving it. The legislature is expected to make some kind of a decision regardingWestern's financial fate sometime this week. Meanwhile the college, which must make plans, waits. ASoffers funds for transit, awaits city decision BECKY FOX THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS is the firstgroup to commit funds for a proposed free college-city transit system organized by Judy Simmer, director of Rape Relief. A similar commitment from the city may be harder to come by. The AS ear-markedabout $700 from next year's budget for the proposal which calls for a 15-person van to run from theBellingham mall through campus to Holly Street at no cost. The van would run every half hour from 7 to11 p.m. seven days a week during fall quarter on a trial basis. Simmer is asking the AS to pay the costof the gas and oil, the city to pay for the driver's salary and the college to pay for the vehicle. This month, the proposal was heard by the Bellingham City Council's Public Safety Committee. That three-mancommittee requested more information from Simmer and, upon receival of the information, voted it beheard before the council on either June 9 or 23. John Herrman, chairperson of the committee, stronglysupports the proposal but doesn't predict any easy time in the council. "I think it offers something weshould be offering within the city," he said. "But I bet it doesn't go through the council. Basically, what itboils down to is a difference in philosophy and a split between the old and new members of the council."These people (old members) just really refuse to do anything that supports the college or the hippycommunity â€” anything that is not for an old entrenched group." DENNIS BRADDOCK, president of thecity council and member of the Public Safety Committee, also favors the transit system. Braddockwants careful preparation and concrete facts before it is considered by the council. "It will be close butnot unanimous," he said. "The problem with this is it will require a majority-plus-one vote because themoney will come from reserve funds. We'd like to get as much information and support as possible before it comes to the floor because it won't be easy to get it through." Simmer was pleased with theproposal's reception in the committee. "It got pretty good response but I am disappointed that the thirdmember wasn't as enthusiastic, especially since he is a college employee," she said. Stuart Litzsingeris the third member. He has his doubts as to the city's financing a private group. "Personally, I don't seehow the city can finance it," he said, "because as soon as we do it, some other group will come alongand say, 'if you did it for them, why don't you do it for us?' " Herrman agrees this may happen but wouldlike to try it. "Sure it can grow," he said, "but this isn't a drawback. It can't get way out of hand unlessthere is a need out there. Maybe we should be listening to those needs." DESPITE THE APPARENTsplit in the Public Safety Committee, the real test will be in the Council. Simmer is optimistic of theproposal's future and is now working on the gathering of information and commitments. Simmer, whoused to teach at Western,.said she wanted to do something, over and above the usual, to help alleviatewomen's fears of walking at night. In this respect, she said, the proposal is part'of Rape Relief. But thefree transit would be open to anyone. Keith Guy, director of residence hall programs, is working on thevehicle side of the proposal. The college now owns two vans but it would be difficult to get these, he said, as they are already heavily used for student groups. Guy appeared before the college's parking andtransportation committee last week, but is still waiting for more specific information from Simmer. Thecollege may, should it commit itself, lease a van from an outside agency. If the transit system isimplemented, a tally will be taken fall quarter to see how much it is used. Then a decision might be made by the city and college about funding it as a permanent service. Student publications council picks neweditors GREG COHEN As Western shifts gears in preparation for a new man at the helm, the WesternFront and Klipsun are also looking ahead to new leadership. Greg Cohen, a senior in journalism, hasbeen selected by the Student Publications Council for the summer quarter editorship of the Front.Cohen said that features will be a big part of the summer quarter Front, to "keep the paper lively andclose to what the people in the environment are like during the summer." "Summer quarter is unique" he said, "It's an enthusiastic quarter, and I hope to be able to reflect this enthusiasm in the Front." DennisRitchie, journalism major, was selected for his "second time around" as fall quarter Front editor. "I wantto expand and concentrate on issues, perhaps some of the heavier problems we usually shy awayfrom," Ritchie said. He said he hoped the Front would be able to relate complex governmental issues tothe students on campus, and to person-ize them with the help of "issue pages" where writers on andoff the staff could document the pros and cons of a particular issue. Cheating, promotions and "publishor perish" are some of the topics he hopes to cover. Ritchie said he will "try to present the news from the consumers' point of view." Klipsun's fall quarter editor will be Vincent Hagel, English major. "I hopeto make Klipsun a more experimental publica tion," he said, "both in substance and form." Hagel saidthe Fall Quarter Klipsun will deal with contemporary issues, "things that effect everyone on campus."He stressed that since it is a student publication, anyone on campus will be encouraged to Â§ submitmaterial for use in the $1 magazine. *fe Vincent Hagel, Klipsun editor, ^ unavailable for picture. DENNISRITCHIE ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, June 3,1975 Western Front 3 The call of the wild, or from journalist to jumper CO UNDERCOLORED CANOPIES - Three experienced parachutists float across the skies of Whatcom County atNorthwest Aerosports near Ferndale. From top to bottom: Jack Massey, Jack Fader and Jack Hanssen.SCOTT JOHNSON "I NEED SOMEONE crazy enough to jump out of an airplane," the editor said. "To do what?" I volunteered. "To jump out of an airplane/' she said. So last week, under the watchful eyes ofKen Eskeback, instructor for Northwest School of Parachuting, I learned first-hand why anyone wouldjump out of a perfectly good airplane. I don't know why I did, but Eskeback kept saying there was a much better chance the chute would open than not, so I did. The instruction period seems unreasonably short to the uninitiated, but after five hours of class I was ready to go up and try the real thing. Like manysports, parachuting is easy as long as everything goes well, but I had to learn what to do if somethingwent wrong. If nothing went wrong, there was nothing to do â€” except jump 3,000 feet down. Nothingcould go wrong, they told me. As I would leave the plane, a 10-foot cord would pull out my parachute. Ifeverything worked right, I would fall about 138 feet in three seconds as the parachute opened. If I felllonger than six seconds, Eskeback said, I should "cut loose" from a partially opened main chute. As itfell away it would pull open my reserve chute, he said. And if all else fails, he said pointing to a little boxon the reserve chute, this will automatically open the reserve at 1,000 feet if you are still falling too fast.That, he said, was in case I was unconscious or too scared to move. WITH THOUGHTS of how long they would talk about death, I got eagerly into the plane and was ready to take-off. We had been through it all on the ground â€” it was easy. On command, I would sit in the door. Just like on the ground. Oncommand, I would climb out and hang from a wing-strut. Just like on the ground. He said go. I went. Justlike on the ground. And fear wrapped its cold hands around my chest. I fixated on the ground and forgoteverything they told me. All I felt was a sickening feeling of falling, like I had never felt before. As soon asI let go, I wondered, why did I do that? As I stared at the ground, I fell and fell and wondered when itwould stop. I had forgotten about the parachute when it shook me back to reality, like being awakenedfrom a dream. "Oh yeah," I thought, "there was something I was supposed to do." So I went carefully over what they had told me. Then finally I remembered, "Oh hey, make sure the parachute is there." So I did, and it was. Then I looked around below me at the beautiful land of north Whatcom county. "Now what?Oh yes. Steer down." I followed the man on the ground pointing the big arrow which told me which way to go to hit any of four fields. This way, that way, turn around. Suddenly I looked straight down. Right below me was the ditch and brambles between two fields. The ground came rushing up and I shut my eyesand slammed both feet through the brush and into the mud. THE SHALLOW water that filled the ditch ran slowly into my boots and I shuddered as I realized I was alright. "It's almost impossible to steersomeone into the ditch on purpose," Eskeback had told me. I remember thinking somebody had done apretty good job. Eskeback estimates he has probably taught 500 people to make their first parachutejump in the last three years. "Probably less than 10 per cent of those have stayed with the sport," hesaid. "I think most of them try it because they've heard it is something fun to do, or they do it to provesomething to themselves." "Mostly I guess people either think we're crazy or they kind of look up to usfor having the guts.to do it," he said. "But the people who stay with it are here because they like tojump." .Eskeback, who has been teaching at the Ferndale center for three years, said there were anestimated 2 million parachute jumps made last year. Each year, he said, there are an average of 40accidental deaths, or one in every 50,000 jumps. Most are due to drowning or landing on powerlines.Eskeback teaches a class each Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Bellingham Airport. The cost of the first jumpis $45, or $40 for groups of six or more. "But anyone is welcome to come to the class," Eskeback said."We will have a movie which anyone can see. It might help them decide if parachuting is what they wantto do." READY FOR THE BIG FALL - What is he thinking as he prepares to plunge from an airplane,3000 feet above the ground, for the first time? DOWN AT LAST - Untangling himself from the briars, ScottJohnson says, "They say every landing you can walk away from is a good one' â€” even if you have toclimb out of a hole first to do it." RIGHT ON TARGET - Making his 74th jump, Jack Hanssen shows howto do it right, as he lands within the target circle. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 ST*?! ,t! .sm.il .v.sbaouT AS needs reorganization 77ie /IS Board o/ Directors, like any efficient organization, must be specifically defined and aware of its obligations.Western's is not. First off, the Associated Students has no goals. There are none present in the by-laws, just revised by the present board for the first time in recent years. The by-laws say the AS shall enhance educational and recreational activities for students, and they shall provide services and activities forthe mutual assistance and benefit of the students. They also say the AS should represent all thestudents on campus for the college and the community. But all this says little or nothing and the entiresystem reek of vagueness. Next are the requirements for holding office. Virtually, there are none except to be a full-time student in good academic standing, and the president, in addition, must havecompleted two'calendar quarters of college work, only one of which has to be at Western. Theproblems most elected officials find when they assume office at Western is they don't know how thecommittee system functions, they're not familiar with the past policies of the councils they represent,they don't understand basic parliamentary procedure and, because the by-laws aren't specific, they're not sure what it is they're supposed to be doing. Most times, because of elected responsibilities andscholastic activities, there is no time to become familiar with these systems. Workshops for instruction,understanding and advice would be meaningful. To date there are none routinely planned for newlyelected AS officials. The entire process is lashed together spring quarter with a majority vote andsomehow expected to hang together and function effectively for an entire year afterwards. The AS needsobservation and input from both the public and the press. They must be continually confronted andquestioned. They need to know their effectiveness is not taken tor granted and that someone outthere cares what is going on. They should have unedited minutes of board meetings so there is a clearand precise public record available to anyone who is interested. They need a strong advisor â€” one who is capable of sound governing advise. One who can see a problem approaching and do something aboutit. One with enough credibility and authority that when suggestions are made they are givenconsideration and credence. Until the present system can be pulled together in an organized fashionand reconstructed until it becomes effective as a governing body, the AS board is useless. It is only a$224,000 operation that allows those elected to play politics, poorly at that, for one year. â€” Connie Tedrow Cluster colleges undersold The relationship between Western's cluster colleges and the CoUege ofArts and Sciences is in need of repair. Two of the cluster colleges, Huxley and Ethnic Studies, weredeveloped out of the current need for education in environmental sciences and ethnicity in society . . .two issues very important to today's students and tomorrow's teachers, parents, employers andsociety as a whole. But the full effectiveness of the cluster colleges is not being attained. Because of the colleges' lack of integration with the College of Arts and Sciences, not all Western students are gettingthis necessary education. Because cluster college credits are not accepted as general collegerequirement credits at the college of Arts and Sciences, most Arts and sciences students arediscouraged from taking cluster college courses. The only students benefiting from the cluster collegesare those with majors and minors in them. These students are already aware of the issues dealt with bythe cluster colleges. Many students will leave Western with no knowledge of the problems involving theenvironment and ethnicity. This situation typifies the relationship between the cluster colleges and theCollege of Arts and Sciences, both of which seem to be working in opposite directions. One reason whymany people of the College of Arts and sciences claim the College of Ethnic Studies is keeping a low-profile is because cluster colleges have been played down and pushed into a dark corner. Because ofimproper coordination of their curriculums, the cluster colleges' potentials are not being reached. What is needed is a definition of the roles and interrelationships of the cluster colleges and the College of Artsand Sciences. The themes of the cluster colleges have been acknowledged, but acceptance andsupport for them is nil. If Western's branches of education become less competitive and moresupportive of each other, then they will move a step closer to maximum effectiveness. Before morecluster colleges are established, students, faculty and administration of Western should reevaluateand improve the present situation of its cluster colleges. â€”Suki Dardarian ANN CARLSON ~J "Iconstantly hear people talking about Western being rated in Playboy magazine as a "party school." It this true? If so, what year, month, etc. J.P. The answer to the first part of the question is an emphatic "yes." Playboy has referred to Western as one of the top three party schools on the. West Coast. However, Ihaven't been too successful in finding the issue. ' - - . â€¢ , . I am lazy, true . . . but I did look for it. InWilson Library, in the very bowels, so to speak, well, anyway in a tiny room behind where the microfilm is kept, are piles of Playboy magazines; in no particular order.

The most frequent guess is that it is somewhere in the early 1960s . . . does anyoneknow?? ++ : : â€¢ . â€” â€” ; life on campus JEFFBETTINSON Western's big, bad, bathroom scandalhas caused many administrators to,h^ve flushed faces. The big stink arose when rumors trickled out ofthe dorms saying that little boys and girls were sharing bathrooms. Administrative officials attempted acover-up and said, "No little boys and girls share the same bathrooms on this campus." Thank goodnessr the fearless, crusading Western Front dared print the truth of the scandal. Since then, pressure fromhorrified parents and hostile legislators has sent administrators scurrying. Informed sources told me theyhave seen college officials spying and sniffing around the dorm's bathrooms. What they are looking for isanybody's guess. ^ Whatever, a recent Western Front reported, "It looks as though they're going to beseparating the boys from the girls next year â€” at least in the way of on-campus dorm bathroomfacilities." The Western Front also said bathrooms for each sex will be labeled. My friend Justushappaned to be in on a meeting where sex labeling for bathrooms was discussed. Justus told me: "Noneof our administrators knew what to do about this sex labeling thing." "Why is that?" I asked. "Well,"Justus said, "in order to separate the boys from the girls they have to put something on the bathroomdoors telling which is which. That's where the problem is.- "The administrators feel the dorm dwellers arejust a teeny bit more intelligent than the baboon. And anyway, hatnional test scores over the past tenyears show that many kids entering college can't read or write. How can you put up signs saying 'Girls'and 'Boys' if no one can read them?" "That is a problem," I said. "But why not put up pictures of a manand woman?" "They thought of that," Justus said, "Someone suggested putting a picture up of a womanin a dress with long hair. But, that won't work here. I mean, all the girls wear jeans and all the boys havelong hair." "But what about putting up a picture of a naked man and woman?" I said. "They thought ofthat too. They even hired an artist to come up with some sketches. He did, but the administrators decided they could never allow such filthy drawings to be placed on bathroom doors. "Well," I said, "What havethey decided to do?" "They have been left with no choice. They are going to do what's done in theOlympics. You will have to be inspected to determine your sex before entering a bathroom. The onlyproblem they had was finding an inspector." "Wouldn't it have been easier just to let everything as it wasbefore?" "What are you," Justus asked, "some kind of pervert?" With that he started walking away."Where are you going?" I asked. "Oh, I have a new job," Justus said. "I'm an inspector over in thedorms." letters Thanks for the memories Editor, Western Front: I would like to take a small space inthe Western Front, before I graduate, to say thanks to so many fine people I have come into contact with here. This is not to say Western is perfect, but that its goodness is so overwhelming that I refuse toidentify any of its shortcomings. There are those that deserve special notice and a sincere thanks for ajob well done. Among these persons are: the congenial women that work in the housing office, the cooks ana student help that work so hard to make the dining halls (especially lower campus) a good place toeat, the helpful people working in Wilson Library, Cal Mathews and the nice people in the admissionsoffice and all of the wonderful student and faculty I have met. No, I did not forget you Elise. I just thinkyou deserve a thank you all your own.-You have done an outstanding job, as always, at cleaning ourdorm. Thank you. Have a nice summer, every-one- Dennis T.

Intramural softball encourages male-female sexual stereotypes Better gear may not add 'love'- to your game Editor, Western Front: It still seems apparent that men are felt superior to women and that such stereotypes still exist on this campus. This was explicitlydemonstrated by the intramural softball procedures on May 28. Due to some mistake, four softballgames were scheduled on one field at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 28. This included an all men's divisiongame, an all women's division game and two co-rec division games. Since there are only three umpireson the intramural staff one game had to be canceled. Of course, the game to be canceled was the allwomen's division game. Not only that, but the 5 p.m. all-women's game was also canceled. Considering that many of the women's teams have only played one or two games, if that many, all quarter, where as the co-rec and men's teams have played many more than that, it seems only fair that the women'sdivision games should be allowed to play over the men's and co-rec games.

At this level of tennis, expensive rackets of $50 are only valuable for boosting a player's ego. Even dedicated beginners should spend nomore than $20.

Jim Cannon Peter LeidigVarsity Tennis Change for educational need Editor, Western Front: The faculty of the College of EthnicStudies are aware of the issues now being negotiated by the University of Washington, involving Chicano demands for equal access to higher education. The evidence available to us suggests the firing of JuanSanchez and Gary Padilla and the suspension of Rosa Morales were willful and capricious. We havebeen particularly concerned with the resignations of Chicano faculty and administrators because of the effect upon the larger Chicano community in the state. The College of Ethnic Studies faculty suggestthat the Educational Opportunity Program and Academic Programs be restructured in terms ofChicano educational needs as these are defined by Chicanos. It also suggests Chicano faculty andadministrators be hired in the numbers that would provide professional opportunities for Chicanosand fulfill Chicano student and community needs. The inequality prompted by a hierarchical structureof authority, of cultures and people, is reflected in the development of academic programs and in themethod of selecting faculty. In such a structure there exists an adherence to forms when those forms no longer speak to educational needs for the coming years. Change cannot occur where the persistence of old structures and forms disallow it.

ROYTANAKA AFTER EIGHT YEARS as president, a vote of no-confidence from the faculty in 1972, budgetcuts and reduction-in-force policies, College President Charles J. Flora is saying goodby to the office."As of June 30, at 6 p.m., I will be a private citizen again. I can close my door on anyone and you'll havetrouble finding me," he said. Flora will spend the next school year on an administrative leave. He plans tostay out of the public eye and "do a lot of studying." "I've been away from the classroom for quite awhileand I've got a lot of catching up to do," he said. THEN â€” Flora as a young man Although he will returnto Western in 1977 as a member of the biology department, he will continue to maintain a low profile forone more year. "I don't in any way want to cause any inconvenience to the college or newadministration," he said. "I don't want the Flora administration to haunt the Olscamp administration.After that I'll become a regular member of the faculty, assuming positions at the discretion of thedepartment chairman." Looking back over his years in office, Flora said it is "wonderful" to be getting out. "I had originally planned to stay in office for a minimum of four years and a maximum of five," he said."But I realized that the college was in for some rough times. I wanted to see it through. "I feel I have done that. I have seen it through. The main job has been completed. Now it's time for someone else." THEFLORA ADMINISTRATION has been through some rough times and has had to absorb much criticism.But Flora doesn't mind. "I don't know what the attitudes of others will be after I'm out. I am aware thatsome people have been antagonistic, to ward the administration. But that's all a part of the job. Anycollege administrator should know that. "We've been through some terrible times and I've had to makesome brutal decisions. But I had to make those decisions and let the chips fall. I don't give a damn whatthey think." A college president who doesn't give a damn? "There are other things that are more important than what others think. Do I like myself? Have I made firm and honorable decisions? I don't care ifpeople like me or not. The more important question is: Do I like you?" Flora admits to being an"unorthodox" president. "I'm a short, fat, dumpy Italian. That's not in the image of a college president. Imilk cows, not to prove anything, but because I enjoy milking cows. People come out to my farm andsee me hauling manure and they say 'that's not what a college president is supposed to do.' But I'm justbeing me. "I did not become an 'administrator' when I took office. I continued to be myself. "I HAVEN'TBEEN a good administrator because I'm too blunt. I made enemies. College presidents aren't supposedto be like that. "You know, a lot of people become administrators because there's a lot of prestige inthe job. But for me, being college president was just another job. It wasn't the biggest think in my life. Ididn't seek glamor or prestige. In fact, I never cared much for what I did here. I just like this place and Ilike the people." Flora said he feels he will return to the faculty with an increased understanding ofadministration and its decisions. "Now I'm aware of the difficulties, strengths and limitations of anadministration. I hold administrators in high regard. I think they're among the most innovative andimaginative people around. "Being an administrator is a hard job. It should never be underestimated. For a few years I had a standing joke in this office. I'd go to my secretaries and say, 'Nobody told me it wasgoing to be that tough!' "And it is a tough job. The range of duties is mind-boggling! A president has toattend to n lt; problems ra difficult. An there is president He came "trepidat^p He saw We pronecamp through ei; What $pri leaves the the classroc proud, comr to get oufe gl NOW - ~ Controversyfills eight-year Flora term DUFF WILSON A STEPDOWN from the college presidency to a facultyposition was requested by Charles J. Flora shortly after faculty voted no confidence in his administration. "I have not been driven out by pressure," Flora said, but many faculty disagreed. Flora was embroiled incontroversy and criticism in spring 1972 at Western. A secret faculty poll in early June showed noconfidence in the president, by a vote of 208-182. This prompted the Faculty Council to vote noconfidence and call for Flora's resignation, by a 7-6 margin. Flora requested the stepdown later in 1972,in a secret, hand-written note he gave to Western's Board of Trustees. Only they and Flora's wife wereaware of that action. The trustees rejected his resignation then, and confirmed him in office,' statingpublicly in December that they had "entire confidence" in Flora and they hoped he would change hismind. FLORA EMPHASIZED last week "there was just no connection" between his resignation and thefaculty no-confidence vote, although "many people would like to come to that conclusion." The 1972dispute had overtones of a struggle with the faculty versus Flora and the trustees. The main criticismsleveled against Flora were: â€” general lack of internal leadership. â€” poor communication with thefaculty, administrative autocracy and "cronyism." â€” violating student publications policy by banningthe on-campus printing of a controversial issue of "Jeopardy," the student literary publication. â€”condoning an illegal act and succumbing to intimidation by conceding two faculty positions to the College of Ethnic Studies after 60 minority students occupied the administration building, Old Main, in spring1972. â€” low morale, low salaries and high student-faculty ratios. FIVE TOP STUDENT leaders sidedwith Flora during the no-confidence, controversy, in a June 1, 1972, statement to the trustees: ". . .Tolose his talents during this crucial time would be tragic . . . We always have known the president to dealopenly and justly with us . . ." Flora apparently just postponed his request, and the trustees accepted his resignation in May 1973, nearly a year after the original no:confidence vote. The resignation is effectiveJune 1975. The action came as a complete surprise to most of the Western community. Flora has beenWestern's president since March 21, 1968. He has served in both a period of great growth andexpectations, and troubled morale and anger at his administration. The president will return to teachingas a zoology professor in the biology department, the job- he held before joining the administration asacademic dean in 1965. Flora gained a reputation for being honest, blunt, good-humored andopinionated. Student /ecnc as time FOUR FACES OF FLORA â€” College President Charles J.

Fallquarter this year saw a major reshuffling of Western's administrative ranks. Early in the quarter it wasannounced that Ruth F. Werner would be the new dean of Huxley College. And look at it this way â€”Western's not losing a Flora, they're gaining an Olscamp. On November 13 it was announced that PaulJ. Olscamp would take College President Charles J. Flora's position on July 1. Flora will go back to hisfauna in the Biology department. Vice President for Academic Affairs Jerry Anderson resigned his postin December, calling his stay at Western "depressing."

And Flora, in his state of the college message, said Western needs a transfusion of fresh blood if it is to avoid the stagnation of100 per cent tenure. This fanned the flame of the already smoldering tenure issue. But Keith Jarrett,Wishbone Ash and the Flaming Zucchini were there to make the quarter a little less gloomy.

"What I plan to do first is to appoint a full-fledgedsearch committee to seek out a person for vice president of academic affairs," he said. Olscamp, whostated that he liked working with small numbers of people, added that "the committee will bereasonably small but representative of all areas of the community, including students." The committee'schoice, said Olscamp, should "demonstrate teaching and research ability and command academicpersonal repect of the faculty." When Olscamp becomes president July 1, Loren Webb will act astemporary vice president until the committee finds someone to fill his shoes â€” permanently. Also soonafter his arrival to Western, Olscamp claimed he would like to study the possibilities of establishing acollege of business and economics. EARLIER THIS MONTH, the Academic Coordinating Commissionapproved the proposal to upgrade the department of economics and business to a cluster college. Theirrecommendation now goes to the president and then to the Board of Trustees. In the wake of talk aboutWestern's "gloomy outlook," Olscamp had some positive things to say. "Everybody says that Western is falling to pieces. I see no evidence of this," he said, "Western has problems and will have problems, butit does have some good programs to offer." Olscamp claims he has no pre-meditated plans or programshe will initiate upon his arrival. "So much is dependent upon the situation when I arrive," he said. PAULOLSCAMP After being an instructor and assistant professor at Ohio State University, he becameassociate dean there in 1969. From there, he became vice-president for academic affairs, dean offaculties and a philosophy professor at Roosevelt University. Olscamp will come from SyracuseUniversity, New York, where he was executive assistant to the chancellor and philosophy professor andlater became vice chancellor for student programs.

"As faculty than students. He holds power over the faculty and members of hisadministration, so they develop a defensive, adversary relationship. "Olscamp will be up against anentrenched faculty with high power faculty politicians. They'll all try to get their particular views across tohim. He won't have the close ties and friendships inside the college that Flora has cultivated," Wilsonsaid. "He'll have to make them himself." "A person can effectively be a leader of a group only as long asthat group recognizes him as such," AS President-elect Stephen Barrett said. "Flora was not articulate in defending some of the decisions he made on critical issues. That lost him communication with thecollege community. "It's going to be very important for Olscamp to communicate with all theconstituencies of the college," Barrett said. "He must have an available ear for student input and be openin his plans for the direction of Western, especially to the students." AS Vice President Hugh Larkinsaid, "I've heard that Flora was elected because, being a past faculty member, people thought they knewwhat to expect of him. It will be different with Olscamp. "From the start it will be difficult for Olscamp tobe his own man. He'll be dealing with a very cliquish faculty, in that departments are close amongstthemselves, struggling for considerations," he said. "FLORA WAS very active on important issues, but considering other fiscal and policy decisions that must be made, student related policies tended to getless immediate attention," said Jeff Larsen, member of the college Services Council and past member ofthe All-College Senate. "In my dealings with him he seemed terribly paternalistic. He also has definiteproblems with the legislature. Wilson, once a legislative intern in Olympia, attributes this to a personalfeud between Flora and Rp. A.N. "Bud" Shinpock, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee(Appropriations). "Olscamp struck me as being very capable and seemed more into student interestson a factual basis â€” not so much bullshit'," Larsen said. "He'll push for student representative on theBoard of Trustees. With his background, I think he could lead Western away from its liberal arts core." "I sense that he's an authoritarian, but I think he'll have to feel out his administration for a year of so beforehe can implement his new ideas," Larsen said. BARREN OFFICE, PLENTIFUL MIND â€” Acting VicePresident for Academic Affairs Loren Webb plans to make transition period for incoming college presidentPaul Olscamp as easy as possible. New vice president wants to implement policies of students, facultyand trustees LOUIE PHILLIPS ABOUT THE ONLY thing acting Vice President for Academic AffairsLoren Webb has in common with his predecessor, Jerry Anderson, is the shortness of his term. Webb,45, sat in his barren office Wednesday. He wore a short-sleeved white-and-baize striped sui: t with apaisley tie. His hair jutted from behind his ears. One arm was slung around the back of the chair. Theother reached to flick a cigarette ash or grab a cup of coffee. In contrast to Anderson who came from aMichigan school, Webb has been on campus 10 years. For six of those years, he has been director ofthe speech pathology and audiology program. Webb considers himself to be pro-faculty. Anderson wasknown for having squabbles with several faculty members. Webb has a different view of being anadministrator. "It's my belief the success or failure of Western revolves around the faculty, students andadministrators of this institution," Webb said. "I am for faculty. "I want to see myself as animplementer of policies as determined by the faculty, students and Board of Trustees." Webb hopes toget along well with all members of the college community during his one-year tenure. "My firstcommitment is to Western," Webb said. "I'm not going to use my position to build up speech pathology. I will put. college policy first and foremost. "I would like to think one of the reasons I was chosen is that Iam known for my objectivity." Webb said he does not anticipate having any problems taking on theacademic vice presidentship at the same time Paul Olscamp assumes college presidential duties. "MYFEELING IS that we will get along just fine. We are very compatible," Webb said. "I'm flexible. We willhave a good working relationship." Webb made this statement even though he has met Olscamp once, and that was only to shake his hand. However, Webb has often served against College PresidentCharles J. Flora as the 1970-71 Faculty Council chairman. Flora and Webb have a "mutual respect." Itwas Flora who accepted Webb's nomination from the Council of Deans. "I've always been comfortableworking with Flora," Webb said. He believes the same relationship will exist with Olscamp. "Olscampknows I just want to serve a single year," Webb said, referring to his July 1976 return to his department."I presume I was selected because I am someone from the campus that knows the campus so as tomake the transition easier." Webb, though on sabbatical, was on campus to familiarize himself with hisnew job. "I'm not expecting a honeymoon. I expect to go right to work," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front- Ttie^UyiJiine 311975^ Gabriel Gladstar returns for musical Farewell Reunion with oldfriends GRANT RANLETT AS THE FULL moon glowed an eerie orange and disappeared into totaldarkness, Gabriel Gladstar played to a gathering of 200 in the Viking Union lounge May 24. Theperformance marked the close of their two-night Farewell Reunion, an event that brought them all the way from San Francisco to bid a musical hello and goodby to the town that had given them the boost of theircareer. Michael Gwinn, Phillip Morgan and Jim Zeiger of Gab riel Gladstar arrived in Bellingham with their family of 15 in an old schoolbus in August 1973. They had been turned away from the Canadian borderon their wav to Vancouver from their home in Laguna Beach, Calif. Their next move was to settle inBellingham. In the 11 months they lived here, Gladstar became one of Bellingham's most popular bandsand completely changed the local music scene. Before Gladstar's arrival there were few places in townwhere good live music could be heard. This band broke the way for hundreds of other musicians whentwo local establishments began featuring live music after Gladstar became the first band to play on theirpremises. The concerts had a warm welcome back feeling. Gladstar was glad to be back in town and the audience greeted them like old friends. A relaxed atmosphere pervaded the lounge as people sat oncouches or on the carpet-covered floor, bathed in the red light of the setting sun shining through theroom's large picture windows. "This view reminds us of San Francisco," Gwinn said as he gazed out onto Bellingham Bay. Appropriately, '"Sunset* was the opening number that evening. Gwinn played lead onhis acoustic Gibson guitar as Morgan supplied his complex, powerful rhythms on his hollow-bodied guitar while Zeiger accompanied them on flute. Gladstar's style could best be called jazz-country. THEIRPIECES WERE of wide variety ranging from the quiet "Did I Hurt You?" with a single guitaraccompanying three voices to the intense, tightly-knit guitar dialogues between Morgan and Gwinn. Theyplayed their own compositions and some fine versions of such songs "Mr. Bo Jangles" and the Byrd's"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Woodwinds and guitars were the group's basic instrumentation. Zeiger playedeither a flute or chose from a selection or soprano, alto, and bass saxes. At times, he or Gwinn wouldplay the electric piano/organ. In addition to his acoustic guitar, Gwinn frequently played a black-bodiedelectric Gibson, occasionally switching leads with Morgan. Morgan would sometimes set aside his guitar to play a variety of small percussion instruments. MOON MUSIC - Phillip Morgan, Jim Zeiger andMichael Gwinn played their jazz-country music at their concert in the Viking Union lounge during therecent lunar eclipse. After the first hour-and-a-half set, the band took a ' moon break," giving everyone achance to observe the eclipse. The moon was a silver sliver as the concert ended at 1 a.m. after astanding ovation and an extended- encore. As Gladstar packed their equipment, several of the audiencecrowded the stage to express their appreciation. Later that day a train would take the three musiciansback to San Francisco. 'Jeopardy9 shines in art... lacks in writing BRUCE HAYES This year's"Jeopardy" is 140 pages of poetry, short stories and art work. Some of it is good, but, unfortunately,some of it is not. V The art is "Jeopardy's" best asset. A lovely color reproduction on the cover, "TheConservatory" by Bonnie E. Hammond. A whole rainbow of hues, deep reds, oranges, purples, blues,greens, yellows and intermediate shades swirl and twist to form fairytale foliage and a glassed building of plants and birds. Paintings, drawings of pencil and pen and ink, and etchings, appearing intermittentlythroughout the magazine, are expertly used, some abstractly, in portraits, nudes and landscapes. Inthe writing department, however, "Jeopardy" is lacking something. Some of the poems are, at times,evocative and reach out and grip the reader. Certain lines vividly use their words to form pictures of ameaning, perhaps not the author's, but is very clear. Some of the other poems, seem to have beenwritten as a joke, as though the author was saying how ridiculous can I get and still be mistaken for art? That may not be the intention, but it is the impression conveyed. College authors are pretentious.Some do attempt to say something in their work but a lack of real experience prevents them fromsaying it simply. Too often vulgarity and crudity are used to convey an idea when something less offen Free verse poetry is the most difficult to write. Without a formal guide it is easy to lapse from poetryinto parody, and that is what has happened in "Jeopardy." Fiction-wise, the magazine fares somewhatbetter. There is a tendency toward pessimism in the stories, but many of the characters are well-developed. If some of the situations are a bit pretentious, chalk it up to the writers' lack of experience.There are ideas that are fascinating. All they need are a few more years of development.

Art department te evaluate merits Members ofthe art department are concerned with how the department is run and a general overall outlook of thedepartment. All art studio, art education, art history and art minors are being asked to volunteer inanswering a questionnaire found near the art department office. Some of the questions asked range from "Have you always known what's been going on in the department?" to "Are you getting the kind ofcurriculum you want from the art department?" Other questions cover whether the student plans tocontinue at Western, drop out, or transfer and whether the classes are too crowded. It is hoped thequestionnaire will help shape the department in the future. events TODAY Poetry â€”Thomas IrvingDavis will read from his new book "Within the Sound of Water" at 4 p.m. in the Fairhaven Collegeauditorium.

These interests range from routine administrativetasks, to helping a veteran receive a loan, to giving advice on a personal problem, to arousing publicawareness in social ills. Jeremy Standen, veterans' representative, is responsible for the most importantfinancial services. He is the link with the veteran and the Veterans Administration office in Seattle. If, for instance, a student wishes to claim any additional dependents, Standen should be notified toarrange for the necessary change in benefits. His office is in Old Main 440. His office hours are from8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Lorraine McGaw, of the Registrar's Office works hand inhand with Standen. She informs the Veterans Administration of any change of veteran status-credit hour change affecting benefits, etc. The League of Collegiate Veterans has several programs which haveproven valuable to veterans. The primary function of this organization is counseling. They offer advice onlegal, personal or benefit problems. A league representative said counseling concerning problemsrequiring administrative work is usually referred to Standen. Vietnam Veterans Against the War /Winter Soldier Organization, presently headed by Jim Johnson, is primarily concerned with publicawareness. Its scope is wide and varied. It strives, mostly through demonstration and leafleting, toarouse public support in their fight against social ills, and political and economic injustice. It will oftenmarch with other organizations in "support of mutual positions," Johnson said. VA representativesfrom the Seattle office said veteran enrollment has increased in colleges nationally. This increase,however, is not apparent at Western. The veteran enrollment has "stayed around 900," Standen said. The VA speculates the increase is due primarily to the increase in benefits and also the pooremployment situation in the country. Belly dancing: some just can't stomach it THE MYSTIC MUSIC ofthe Middle East, provided by a lone violin and ceramic bongo drum, sets the mood for the class.Teacher Shelley Nolan calls out the rhythm. She claps time with her four finger-cymbals: "Cross in, -cross in, click, click, click . . . left, right, left, right!" Now the tummies begin to sway in rhythm with thecymbals and the music and the arms start to do exotic things. Faster! Faster! The tempo is building up. The violin player is sitting cross-legged on a bare carpet. The eight women and their teacher continue to sway. The light smell of incense penetrates the small cozy room in the back of the Film Factory onState Street. The gathering is a beginning class in belly dancing, under the name of The Bou SaadaCenter of Middle Eastern Art. "As long as you keep moving to the music you can't make any mistakes," Nolan reassures the barefoot dancers. "I've seen people get out and dance and they do beautifully. Getthem into belly dancing and they can't do it." She said this is because they get uptight and relaxation is the chief ingredient in belly dancing. Nolan is interested in bringing this fine art to Bellingham but so farshe has met resistance from the townspeople. "They consider us hippies," Nolan said, "and they don'ttake us seriously." Nolan studied in San Francisco under "Jamila." She said in the Bay area there arehundreds of dancers so the jobs are scarce. In Bellingham, there are only three professional hellydancers, but because the townspeople don't really understand what it's all about, the jobs are just asscarce. Also, in San Francisco, men belly dance and they are good, Nolan said. Originally, the dancecame from Egypt. The Gawazele tribe was banished to the north of the country and both the men andwomen now earn their livings dancing. in I J THE BEST OF THE NEW YORK FESTIVAL OFWOMEN'S FILMS AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF EIGHT SHORT* FILMS MADE ENTIRELY BYWOMEN.

Early visions offall and football are on the minds of those working out in preparation for next season. The football teamhas been working out, running and weight lifting, since early in the quarter. And apathy would not^describe the enthusiasm of last fall's 2-7 team. "We have a different breed of guys coming back and Ithink we have something to prove. We can win games," Western lineman Dann- DeBellis said. DeBellisis a senior physical education major from Snohomish with one year eligibility left. "Everybody's beenkinda pushing each other and it's paying off," he said. "We're getting in shape and developing a positiveattitude." The team started weight workouts in a power lifting program. Power lifting is especially suited to build strength rapidly and add body weight. Several players (all backs and receivers) have had to switchprograms when body weight increases resulted in loss of speed. They have gone to a speed liftingprogram which* employs the use of lower weights with more repetitions of the exercises. Power liftingrequires working out with maximum bar weight at all times, with fewer reps. Three exercises arestressed: the dead life, squats and bench pressing. "It's going to take a group of guys who want to pulltogether as a team to win more games," DeBellis, who can dead lift over 500 pounds, said. "IT'SDIFFERENT HERE than at other schools. 0 Here we can't take~anything for granted; money, $ Jequipment, staff or anything, but' we have to get "gf; the most out of what we have." Â§ Linebacker BobTaylor, a senior from Ferndale ,Â© said, "People have asked me why I continue to play after the last fewlosing seasons. But I enjoy playing and I'm not going to quit just because we haven't won that manygames." Taylor is also a long jumper on the Western track team and is the defending District I long jump champion. Both Taylor and DeBellis feel that football here lacks enough money to adequately run theprogram. Their main dissatisfaction is the inability of the program to keep a coaching staff intact for two years in a row. "In my three years here we've only had one coach that's remained. That's Boyde Long.It's tough to build a team when, every season, different assistants are helping coach the team," Taylorsaid. Head coach Boyde Long has reported even though funding that he had hoped would let him hiretwo more assistants has failed to materialize, last year's assistants Don Wiseman and Bill Baker willreturn. "I've heard it said that Western considers itself an educational school first and above building upits athletics. But I think that's b.s.," Taylor said. "I think that's an image the school would like to project." "A LOT OF rumors condemning the football program have been started," DeBellis added, "by peoplewho have dropped out of the football program. "The truth of the matter is they were just not goodenough to make the team and want to tear it down to justify the fact they couldn't make it," he said.Both players also mentioned that lack of team leadership hurt the squad last year. Both plan to assumethat responsibility next fall. "Gilmore (Gary, who last year as a senior was an all-Evco and District Ilinebacker selection) tried, but he couldn't do it alone," they said. The two do not intend to finish theirathletic careers on a sour note.

I discovered this quarter, much to my surprise, that the students who produce this award-winningnewspaper are not the bunch of withering, sissy intellectuals I had envisionsed them to be. Havinganticipated disaster when I was roped into being player-coach for the Western Front co-rec intramuralsoftball team, it was a relief to know that my first attempt at a coaching career has been a winningsuccess (due largely to an incredible number of teams that forfeited to us). "They are just scared of us,"maintains our star right fielder, Suki Dardarian. My teammates spend most of their time in thedungeonous newsroom, seeing daylight only on those rare occasions when they lurk through theshadows to cross campus for classes in the basement of Arntzen Hall. I wasn't sure what effect the great outdoors would have on them â€” they went bananas. It soon became a pre-game ritual to gather in theFront office and wait for our pitcher Connie Tedrow, the Knute Rockne of mushball, to begin psyching upthe team. Tedrow starts by pounding everyone she sees on the back and whispering -. a faint word ofencouragement. As the crowd grows in the newsroom, we form a huddle and Tedrow says to the fourtoken women that must be on the field in co-rec play, "Are you ready ladies?" "YES, YES, YES, we'll doour best!" we reply in high, squeaky voices. "Now men," Tedrow says in a stern voice while alternatelyscowling and crossing her eyes, "what is the key word?" "Go, go, go!" they gruff back. "Aw come on you guys," she says, jabbing her hands deep into her pockets and looking irritated. "You gotta be tougherthan this if you want to win." It gets suddenly quiet. "But I thought we were playing just for fun," objectsGreg "the Leggs" Cohen. "Who said anything about winning?" "Look you dummy," snaps our usuallyphilosophical shortstop, Keith Olson. "In my opinion there is a scientifically-proven direct correlationbetween winning and having fun so quit being so damned idealistic." "Enough of this foolishness,"Tedrow bellows. "Go out there and stab them in the back, wring their necks and beat their heads in!"Tedrow throws a typewriter to warm up her pitching arm, and the fervor begins. We dash out the backdoor and pile into the back of catcher Dick Milne's pickup truck and bomb over to the field while 20 of uswildly scream "Kill, kill, kill!" "Kill!" Tedrow whails, laughing hysterically. "For the glory of the Front!" MYVOTE FOR Most Valuable Player goes to our first baseman Dennis Ritchie, who has had to take a lot ofvalid criticism for his conduct. In our first game, we played his girlfriend's team and on her first turn at batshe collided with Ritchie at the base. Consequently, they have had to suffer innumerable . "Well, you-finally-got-to-firstrbase, huh Ritchie" jokes. The Most Impoved Player Award would have to go to MarnieNiece's fill-in at second base, Becky Fox. At the beginning of the season, anybody in a body cast oncrutches with their hands tied behind their back could have thrown better than her. But "the Fox" got ittogether and after her first successful play at second she waved the ball in the air, squealed and lookedgleeful for over a week. We've actually won some games without the aid of a forfeit but I've earned theimage as team pessimist. While my teammates are patting themselves and each other on the back, I'musually off in a corner mumbling, "We only won because they were handicapped with more womenplayers," drawing.the wrath of my liberated sisters. To make a long story short, we might make the play-offs if the play-offs ever get organized. And as our versatile star Rick Donker, who is content at anyposition except benchwarmer, always says, "It could be Hell!"

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 NO. 41 DR. PAYNE LECTURES EE EDUCATIONAL The first three lectures of a series to last until the end of this week has been given in the Normal auditorium by Dr. Payne of the Government Educational Extension Department. A fair estimate of Dr. Payne's worth as a lecturer can .be drawn from these first three lectures. The- first of the series, given on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock was an illustrated lecture on Hawaii. There was shown the rapid development of the Hawaiians in civilization. In 1825 they were a savage people, and today they are honored, thriving and modern. Most of the natives speak English,' and their universities are attended by people from all over the world because of their excellency. There still exists in Hawaii a great class distinction. There are still the people of noble birth and the contrast in' their habitations with those of the natives is striking. In all, the Hawaiians are a friendly people and that means a great deal. The pictures shown were beautiful, and Dr. Payne had won his audience by clear, vivid explanation. The second lecture was on the Turk. " He is a good fellow," Dr. Payne said, "when he isn't killing somebody." The beautiful scenes that followed were colored by the blood of the Turkish victims. Their history is one of the sword, but the Turk, in business dealings is very trustworthy. The women of Turkey are married before they are sixteen years of age, and, from then on, they are the slaves of their husbands. There is much that is beautiful in the religion of Mohammed, but it is enforced by blood and brutality. Constantinople is the dirtiest city in the world. The Turk, himself, is clean but his streets are narrow dump alleys. Upon these dirty passages is found every nationality in the world. On Tuesday at 1 o'clock the third lecture was given. The subject was "America as a World Nation." It was not illustrated. " "We Americans," Dr. Payne said, (Continued on page 2.) dHllllllllllllUlllllllllltllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllHIIItlllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllltIt = JIIIIII|IHIIIIIIIIIHinillllllHIIIIIIIIIIIHillllllllltllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllU = II SCHOOL PHYSICIAN II Office hours 9:30 to 12:00 A.

Most students like the poems by Noyes and " The Highwayman," representing Romanticism, is a favorite. The story is of a young French highwayman and a beautiful girl. Rather than have him fall into the hands of the British soldiers who have bound her and placed a musket in her hands, she sacrifices her own life. Filled with sorrow he takes his life. The' poem closes with a weird suggestion that to this day the Highwayman comes riding to meet the girl. The second reading, "John W. Jones," .Avas one of those simple but wonderful mixtures of humor and pathos that appeal so strongly to human nature, and represented Idealism. J. "W. Jones was the homeliest man in town but 'through his sincerity and many acts of kindness the people of the town forgot his homeliness and remembered only " Handsome is as handsome does." It was impossible to listen to the reader and not appreciate the Hbeauty and expression of these poems. . Mr. Parrish responded to the enthusiastic encoring of the audience with a bit of serious advice, . humorously given, to both the girls and the men. The seudents reluctantly stopped their second attempt to encore the reader, only when Dr. Nash rose to make the announcements. We hope Mr. Parish will find it convenient to read for us again T WITH PROF. PRAH . Bak^r Annual Excursion an Event in History of B.S.N.S.

The climb from here to Bridal Veil Falls was quite uneventful except for the fact that Mr. Bond kept flitting from one end of the line to the other speaking words of cheer to faltering pil- (Continued on page 6.) The Wednesday's assembly was taken on a tour through Paris by Professor Pratt, who served in the sight-seeing corps of the Y. M. C. A. in that great French city before and after the armistice was sjgned. The scenes displayed were enriched by stories of personal experiences and a brief history of the buildings or places that were shown. Professor Pratt, in an introduction before showing and explaining the pictures, said: "The boys of our A. E. F. poured into Paris either for pleasure or to study the architecture. Indeed, (Continued on pagre 2.) , ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 DR. PAYNE LECTURES WERE EDUCATIONAL (Continued from page 1.) "have a superior feeling over all nations in the world. We must not forget, my friends, that many nations surpass us in many ways and we must learn to appreciate them all. Allow no person to prejudice you against any of your neighbors'. But, after looking at all of the countries of the world, I can come back and say that my greatest blessing is to be an American. The greatest job an Americans has today is to be a first class American. First of all he must be a gentleman. Then he must be intelligent, any other man can be ignorant but an American can not be. He must be filled with religion, to be an American he must be a Christian first, to think that he can get along without it is a mistake. If the greatest thing is not to be an American it is to be a teacher of Americans. My friends, I give, you my word of testimony, I am an old scholar, I have traveled over a million miles and lived with over forty different people and I would rather be an American citizen than the king of any other nation in the world. " Our land is the richest and the finest in the world, we have the most exquisite scenery in the world. Just take a journey through Yellowstone Park, through Yosemite Valley or the Grand Canyon, can they show you anything to compare with it any other place? For twenty-six million years, God Almighty has been getting this place ready for America. "America is not only a land of beauty and wonder, but of usefulness as well. We can raise more on our land than any other land in the world. Our mountains are nothing but store houses of treasures. We could supply all of Europe, as well as ourselves, with necessities and we did supply them during the World War. That is the bigness of the heart of America. God has given to you and to me one of the richest things in the world and perhaps of many other worlds, too. For thousands of years Europe has been filled with millions of wriggling, hungry humans while America was filled with all its richness. God held all this until by and by He would try the making of a new nation, a new world. " First the Spainiards came to our country for the sake of plunder and they failed. Then came the Puritans looking for a greater soul and with prayer dedicated their new found land to liberty and righteousness, and they stayed. For one hundred and fifty years they struggled with starvation, cold and death. They bled for seven for liberty from the mother country, for the liberty that you enjoy — your freedom. " That is only a little part of the making of America," Dr. Payne continued. " We do not all come from the Pilgrims, but we are, pei'haps, some of the jumble, some of the conglomeration that has gone through the melting pot. Just as the Pilgrims were made welcome, so has America continued through the years to welcome the oppressed of all the world. Some have been narrow, hating everybody, some of them a Judas among us, some come for better living, to be a man, some come for education, some for money, some for service to share in the making of better America. Like that they have come, my friends. They have put their blood, their brains, their hearts into America, making a vision that stretches around the world, making a heart, the bigness of which can not be estimated. It has made America as holy as the Holy Land ever was. Born under the leadership of a Mighty God, would you dare to be unworthy in a land like this? Would you dare to besmirge the character of America, to betray the trust for personal or political gain? Our country with its church ,its school, its sense of righteousness. That is only another way of saying that we have a universally divine genius for doing the things of life. " We have always had some American leaders with a great heart. George Washington with his love of freedom; Abraham Lincoln, if God gave Moses to Israel, He gave Abraham Lincoln to America; Theodore Roosevelt, with his calling men to the square deal. All men blunder but' these have a mighty soul. Another mighty soul, with many faults perhaps, but whose voice and vision shall ring through the ages, is our own President Wilson — God bless him. " There was never a time like this, we are living in an awful age, we need the greatness, the loyalty; let us never take second place. Oh, my friends, we are the making of the America of tomorrow. You teachers, you have a glorious thing to do. Put a mark of God on your brow, let America be God's nation! Fling out Old Glory to be the leader of humanity, the servant of all, and God bless you as you go." Dr. Payne is like a rainbow, coloring his lectures, a covenant between God and man. We could not stay away from the remainder of his lectures even if we wanted to. THROUGH PARIS WITH PROF. PRATT (Continued from page 1.) it was a study worth while. Paris is just dotted with various degrees and ages of architecture. Paris is one of the finest cities in the world; it is fascinating, soft, beautiful. There are more intelligent people gathered together at one time in Paris than any other place in the world. I want to make the purpose of these lectures a promotion of civic beauty. I use Paris as an example, where they make parks everyplace for human happiness, where they have more sculpture, more art, more beauty than any other city. The average Frenchman would rather talk art than politics, and he is mightily fond of politics." The rest was told with pictures and at the close each one felt the need of America stronger, more personally than ever. FOR THE STORY-TELLER All teachers of children's literature should examine the fine line of story books Mr. Baughman is now carrying. No teacher should leave this institution without adding to his own library some of the choice collections now on display in the book store. This is your opportunity to provide for future need and to enrich and enlarge your fund of stories. And perhaps you have not stopped to think that it is also the best opportunity you may have for a long while to make a collection of worth-while pictures for teaching literature and language to little children. Mr. Baughman will accommodate you and assist you in making your orders. Remember that the right teaching of literature is both an art and a science — you must have equipment.

There are places at the dormitory or in the school cafeteria. I have myself worked in the W. H. S. cafeteria and I liked it more than any other work I ever had. While I was in the cafeteria I received better grades in my work, because I had to do most of it at home. The gymnasium class at 2 o'clock is a circus in itself. After watching Mr. Carver gracefully perform on the trapeze with all the ease of a monkey, we manfully scramble up to the dizzy perch, then closing our eyes and taking a deep breath we launch off into space.

L. GRAHAM Miss Edith Froom, a Normal graduate who is at present connected with the Bellingham city schools, was among the excursionists that attempted Church Mountain last Saturday. Miss Stella Lowry, who graduated from B. S. NY S. in May, with her sister, hiked from Chehalis to the top of Mt. Rainier, a distance of about 250 miles. About one hundred and fifty students enjoyed the excursion to Glacier Saturday. It was an ideal day for hiking and climbing and everyone reported a lovely time. Dr. Chas. A. Payne, lecturer for the National University Extension Bureau, gave an interesting and instructive lec-lure on "The Land of the Turk" at Monday's assembly. A feature of the last half of the summer term will be weekly play evenings held at the school under the direction of Mr. Carver and Miss Long. Say! Don't you know there are three fine tennis courts out there on the training school side, or have you just forgotten it? Those courts ought to be so j gt;opular that three sets of doubles could be in " full swing" all the time, except, by the way, assembly periods. There's nothing like tennis to set the blood tingling, the muscles working, yes, and the hair flying. So, put on your tennis shoes, arm yourselves with tennis racquets and let's hie ourselves to the tennis court. My first serve! Ready!

Plass hiked Saturday to Sylvan Gove on Lake Whatcom. The Mt. Baker excursion trip was a very delightful one and every one reports having had a splendid time. We are living in hopes of another such trip. Out of a few over one hundred who started on the Church mountain trail, there were about twenty-five who reached the top. Those of us who reached the top felt well paid when we found snow for which we were looking, and do not regret taking the trip, although we felt the effects of the climbing the next day. Some of us thought ice cream never did taste so good as it did when we arrived at the train, and on our way home the whole crowd of us enjoyed ourselves very much. There was some singing and a few little games played and some of the boys helped to entertain the crowd by trying to .sell newspapers, ice cream, popcorn, candy, etc., and playing the conductor, calling off the stations and telling where to change cars. We cordially invite everyone to share the enjoyment and entertainment of the next trip. Everyone who attended assembly last Friday morning was delighted to hear Mr. Parrish's readings. Faculty Notes Miss Druse, Mrs. Johnson, Miss Beach and Miss Pickard spent the week end in Seattle. Mr. Philippi left for New York to attend a conference of Social Hygiene at the Technical College, under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, of Washington, D. C. Miss Woodard, Dr. Miller, Mr. Bond, Miss Longley, Miss Mann, Miss McDonald, Miss Bell and Mr. Kibbe were the faculty members who ventured on the Mt. Baker trip Saturday. WHATCOxM FALLS When we read of such people as Lieutenant Waverly who deliberately murdered his young wife, or of Clarence Johnson, who slew his benefactress, we almost hesitate to think of the punishment that should be meted out to them. We wonder, too, if a suitable .punish- One evening this summer, my .room was hot, I had several hours of reading and studying to do, and I was feeling discouraged — almost wishing I hadn't come to Normal during the regular vacation time. However, as all this unpleasantness was upon me, one of the girls came in and suggested going out to Whatcom Falls to study. We went. A feeling of rest came over me as we were riding along on the Lake car; a cool breeze coming in through the open windows made me feel much better. As we entered the little park everything suggested quietness and rest. We walked clown to the water's edge where we could see the falls, and sat down on a huge boulder. The noise of the rushing water wasn't noise to us—it suggested some hidden power — it made you feel as well as see. nature, it made you know there was much good in this world, it made you wish all kinds f good things for all your friends, and it carried your thoughts to home and mother.

"When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, The other side was all he could see." The Normal went over the mountain, but many grand and glorious things it did see. Why do people so exert themselves? Do we strive and battle with such an undertaking for the sake of victory in rivalry? Do the people who ascend Church or Lookout Mountains have the sole purpose of reaching the top? If such were the case, I fear we would find no; well worn path up these steep inclines; nay, nor any other. By the sweat of our brow we toil to achieve a little higher pinnacle in order to have a better perspective, and each time when veiwing it we have a feeling of dissatisfaction and turn to climb to the next point. At last we reach the summit where we can see the great beyond. Our feeling of rapture is expressed by one word — " Oh! " After drinking of what is before us, we turn and reflect on what is behind. We pause a moment in the grandeur of the summit and then descend. The true cycle of life. SHOE CLEARANCE A sale of shoes of vital importance to every woman or child in Bellingham or the immediate vicinity, involving superior grades of Oxfords, Pumps and High Shoes.

MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated WHERE QUALITY MEETS' THE SECOND MILE " If a man require of thee one mile, go with him twain." Harry Emerson Fosdick gives us the most beautiful side of this thought. There is no compulsion in pleasurable service. We feel it our duty to do a thing, but. going only so far as we are obliged. We thus miss the pleasure unless we add our measure of unasked service — the second mile. If we stop at the end of the first mile then duty is pur master and not our servant. WALK AWAY THE BLUES Did you ever take a walk to drive away the blues ? Try it the next time you feel an attack coming on. Get out into the woods. Listen, observe, examine and imagine when next you think of your trouble, lo! it has dwindled to a mole hill and the blues are gone. WORK AND PLAY dents who play and have no time for work; there are other students who know the meaning of " all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," or "All play and no work gives Jane a low grade." . There must of course be a great deal of conscientious study, if students are later to teacli facts to little children and understand child nature. But a great deal more than this is expected of the teacher. First of all, she must share the children's fun. It is her business to see that the schoolroom,.is not a place where they will dread t o ' come, but rather a place where joy and sunshine go hand in hand with work. The student who finds time for much real pleasure along with her work, will find time as a teacher for pleasure with the children. of the darkness which has preceded it. In the night we sleep but with the first ray of dawn life begins its real activity. Heed not commands from out of the darkness; wait until the light shows the speaker's face. THAT DAY WHEN "Eat, drink and be merry." Excellent advice. Have as good a time as the law allows. Play hard and be happy, but remember, the day of reckoning is hovering in the distance. Some day as we frolic along our rollicking way, we'll overtake it. And then we'll pay! Pay! Pay! Oh, well, who cares? It's in the distance. We're too near-sighted from gazing at the pleasures about us to see the grim distance. We'll continue to play till that day when — And then we'll pay! • — B. C.

Whether that darkness be atmospherical or mental, it is the same today, tomorrow arid forever. Light shines on, leaving never a trace MOUNTAIN CLIMBING Did yon ever start out.in the morning to climb Mt.' Baker with a feeling of conquering the world? The sun was just beginning to tinge the east with color, and it seemed there was enough freshness and coolness in the world to last a thousand years. You tied on your pack and fairly ran up the first little hill, so eager were you to be the first to the top. But soon you began to puff and pant like a Ford with no gas, and to wish that some of the coolness at the bottom of the mountain would please rise. Next thing you know there is a sore spot on your heel, or your whole foot and then some. But you keep on and finally get there to gaze around at the world below: Is it worth while ? Well I guess, for truly " Beyond the Alps lies Italy." • ~ BE CONTENTED The great secret of contentment is to get out of each moment all that satisfaction it holds. It is a great mistake for one to waste time in restlessly looking for what the next moment may bring. I have seen people traveling or walking who never enjoyed or hardly saw the things they had come to see, besause they were always planning what they were to do next. This is the same thing that occurs in our clas srooms, waiting until the bell rings, planning what tc do next and not noticing what tilings they are to accomplish. There are people whose minds are occupied all winter with the summer's plans and all summer with the winter's, plans. They never really live at all. Mothers and teachers should teach the children not only to be quiet and contented, but to seem so. They should be taught to give their whole attention to what they are doing, even if it were talking with a friend. — M. X. TENNIS In two weeks we are going to stage the tennis tournament for school championship honors. Is everybody ready? If you don't know how to play just join one of the tennis classes and in a couple weeks' time you may develop into an expert and win a letter. If you do know how to play, maybe you'd better get out and practice up a little. There will be contests in men's singles and doubles, ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. Select your partners now and let's all sign up when the tournament call is sounded. You never can tell who'll win — so let's all try. — BABE •:• BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building Gladys and Nina Roach paid Mrs. Bever a prolonged visit at the hospital Saturday.

Fried bacon, potatoes, pickles, mince pie four inches thick and some of that coffee that is known only to the boys and their friends, made up the bill of fare. Pruner visited the Great Northern station again Sunday afternoon. We understand that Wiseman, our ball player, was in Sedro-Woolley over the week end, again. Some day we will find out why and let you know. Since Bartruff left our castle " Mac " has been a very good boy. As far as we know he hasn't gone to bed later than 1:30 A. M. for over a week. Keep it up, "Mac." Owing to a misunderstanding we forgot to mention our party that was held nearly two weeks ago. As this was such a " success" in every way fe feel it our duty to do so now. Friday, July 9th, we entertained a group of our friends. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and everyone left at an " early" hour, hoping we would entertain again soon. We wish to thank our housemother, Mrs. Lynch, for her help in turning failure into success. There may be better hostesses than she, but we are " from Missouri." GEROLD HOUSE Etta Valentine and Myrtle and Maude Sexton spent Sunday in Vancouver, B. C. Mable Lewis spent the week end at Custer, Washington, and Lois Pickard in Seattle. Sunday afternoon several of the girls went to Dr. Payne's lecture at Elizabeth Park, after which we enjoyed a walk through the park taking " snap shots." —VERA ROCENE HARRISON HOUSE Welcome!

Come again, Mr. Stevens., and bring some more eats. Jeanette Gilniore, of Ten Mile, spent the week end at home. Elizabeth and Ellen Wesen spent the week with Anna Taube. They also took part in climbing Mt. Baker. We all think that those who climbed Mt. Church should get one credit in Physical Ed. The three piker's of our house who could not go on the Glacier trip were Mrs. Crane, Miss Morgan and Beryl White. NICHOLS HALL Alice Satre, Gertrude Reese and Anna Keating enjoyed a picnic dinner at Fern-dale Sunday. Elva Neander spent the week end at her home in Seattle. Esther Gunderson and Myrtle Loe were, dinner guests of Alice Sater and Gertrude Reese, Wednesday evening. Laura Bangle and Esther Olson spent the week end at the former's home in Nooksack. Anna Keating and Gertrude Reese returned home Saturday evening after a most delightful trip to Glacier, tired but rhappy and full of interesting tales of "jtheir climb up Church Mountain. Vera Dunbar and Narcissa Collins spent the week end at Vera's home at Mount Vernon. Calista Washburn enjoyed a visit from her mother, Mrs. Washburn, and her aunt, Mrs. Lewis, this week end. Clara Sachtler spent the. week end with friends at Ferndale. Amy Jones left this week for her home in Cashmere, after spending some time with her sister, Ada.

Saturday morning there were eight ambitious, active, happy girls arose bright and early and started on the Glacier trip. We all climbed Church Mountain with the exception of Bee Bumford and Lillie Becken. Poor girls! They got lost on the lonely mountain side and could not find the rest of the hikers. The best part of it was — they had most of the lunch. Saturday night about 9:00 o'clock there were eight tired, sunburned and dusty girls climbed the stairs and decided to retire early. We all voted that it was the best time ever, though. Laura Sterling, who went to her home in Seattle last Friday, is reported to be very ill. We hope to see her among us soon. Helen Matson is a full-fledged " Rural Lifer" now. She was initiated last Thursday night. Frances Gallacher, her roommate, did all she. could to initiate her properly. Helen Matson's parents motored to Bellingham Sunday, taking Helen home with them. She came back Monday A. M. and told us all about the "ham and eggs" she had for breakfast. Wasn't she cruel? Myrtle, Olga and Frances were at Whatcom Falls Sunday P. M. Lillie Becken was a guest at a chicken dinner at the home of friends in Bellingham on Sunday. Some of our girls who are going to take teacher's examinations have organized a review class which meets every evening. The girls gain lots of help in this way. Clara Jenson and Clara Willard were visitors at Jenkins Hall on Sunday evening. Helen was real happy last night. She received two letters yesterday morning so they probably could explain if they could talk. . FIVE-2-FIVE Life has been worth living here for the past week. Birthdays and boxes helped out. Edna Leatherwood passed another milestone last Wednesday and her sister, Amanda, came to help her celebrate, bringing a grip of good eats with her. Edna and Amanda with Ola Haysom, Mertle Major and Helen Edwards to help them went to the beach to test Amanda's cookery, and oh, how good it. was after a dip in the bay. The food was worth the justice rendered it. The following day, Audrey Mackey received a box containing wonders. Still another box came for Mertle Major Monday and proved that another sister can cook. We were glad these girls were so generous with their cakes. The week end was filled with welcome events. Merle Annis and Geneva Pra-ther had an auto ride to Sultan, their home. Gertrude Jackson visited friends and also visited Birch Bay for entertainment. Ola Haysom was carried off to Ever-son one evening. Georgia McKenzie visited one of her host of friends this time near Marietta. Eugenia Ellis had a friend, Bertha Sundeen, with her, who came up for the Baker trip. Bertha went with her sister to Nooksack Falls and keenly enjoyed her day. The Baker trip entirely overshadowed other things for two members of our house. Helen Edwards and Mertle Major with Frances Wingfield and another friend, landed at Glacier with a train full of other Normalites. They chose Baker. Trail as most promising, having scaled Church in past summers. If anyone wants a trip that has beauty and cool comfort every step of the way, take the Baker Trail through a western forest of moss-hung trees. Take it not too fast to enjoy it, but follow a stream if you wish, as they did. The trail leads on to the mountain peak itself, but this group called a halt at a beautiful falls and after a feast of berries hurried back down grade to a scrumptious picnic dinner waiting at Glacier. This Baker trip is our last item, but Avas not least in real experience. Ask Mertle or Helen. EDENS HALL Have you heard -of. the "Pancake Club"? They're good — those cakes•— and we had a very happy Sunday with such a satisfying starter. The finish was mighty good, too — birthday cake at Squalicum. Ruth Ogren was kind enough to furnish the birthday. Min Bergstrom and Margaret Lewis surprised the crowd by presenting the cake decorated with streamers to which gifts for each one were attached. Ruth McLeod enjoyed the week end at her home in Langley. Hazel Berger was a guest at the wedding of Miss Maude Elliott in Seattle on Friday evening. She returned Monday morning. Anna Myer and Bertha Haines entertained a few of the girls at Sunday evening supper. An impromptu " orchestra " delighted the group with several numbers. Miss Woodard, Ethel Claypoole, Willie Wood, Margaret Heimdahl, Ellen Ab-rams and Vyra Ullfers survived, we are happy to state, the Mt. Baker trip. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLY The Glacier trip has come and gone but according to Lois Van Houton and Irene Johnson, the effects of it are with us yet. Thunder and lightning! Sunday evening Irene Johnson was forced to wait patiently on the wrong side of Lake Whatcom for the storm to pass away, Daisy Blue and Dorothy Scheel spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Charles Yule, of Bellingham. Cherries, big and black and luscious! Girls can too climb trees. Who says they can't? CEDARS For sale or exchange — One heel adorned with a healthy, flourishing blister about one inch long and half as wide. One pair of knees which creak badly if moved suddenly. One elbow which was used as a skee in the descent of Church Mountain and became slightly damaged therefrom. One well-done (sunburned) neck, fat, to trade for a thin one. Maybe a thin one wouldn't be so hard to keep in the shade! These are a few of the adjustments which we would like made since our trip to Glacier and points adjacent, last Saturday. v But sore heads ? No, not one! Is everybody happy? Of course. Was it worth while? A hundred times YES. And, please note, a Cedarite was the very first girl to the top of Church. So that our athletic development may not be limited to hiking, Emma is taking up tennis and swimming. One of her feature stunts is to stand with her back to the water and deliberately fall in. This is very hard on the other poor fishes who happen to be near, but it's great sport for Emma. Miss Effie Garritson, Edna and Nellie Morris' aunt from Kokomo, Indiana, has been visiting relatives out here. Saturday she enjoyed the hike with us. Dora Andrus, from Seattle, spent a few days with Bertha Gould. — HELEST LEMXEY BERNICE HALL There are two new fellows at Bernice Hall now, "Bill" Horst and "Hank" Patey. We were all sorry to see Mr. Gil-breath leave. The Waffle Club is progressing nicely. We have one or two initiation nights each week. The other evening Mr. Roe was in swimming down at the beach. It started to rain, so Roe, afraid of getting his bathing' suit wet, ran for the nearest shelter. Have you heard about the cave man adventures of Mr. Brown on Church Mountain? It's more exciting than the episode entitled, " Sultan Happy Brown, of Omarscow." We notice that Mr. Bowsher is now taking a course in campustry. Why is it that we so seldom see him alone now? Dan Johnston has been showing us some tricks that he learned from some " educators down in a pool hall." Thank you for your attention. That's all. —J. H. GRIGGS BEVER HOUSE Frances Erickson spent the week end at her home in Everett, returning to our humble roof Sunday evening. She says it was hard to break away, but Normal ties are strong, you know. Victoria has posed as a martyr to a splendid cause since Saturday night. Her blisters and stiff limbs testify to the fact that she reached the very top of Church Mountain. Elizabeth Delduca also made the top and without any serious injuries. Oza and Anita have not decided as yet who climbed the furtherest but each did her share not missing any of the wonderful scenery which one revels in while climbing Church Mountain. Jessie and Dorothy kept the home fires burning while we " younger " members of the happy family climbed and sweat and climbed some more with the school " excursioners." Glennie McBain visited over the week end with Erma Keeney at the home of the latter's grandmother in Ferndale. We have heard most thrilling reports of good eats, splendid fun, etc. Oza Myers, not being completely overcome by the activities of Saturday, visited at Birch Bay Sunday with Mabel Calhoun. Elizabeth Delduca visited Sunday at the home of Mrs. Genevieve Smith, of this city. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 6 ---------- 6 ! THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 MT. BAKER ANNUAL EXCURSION AN EVENT IN HISTORY O FB. S. N. (Continued from page i.) grims. The one thing that the writer marvels at is that human beings can consume so much water. On our arrival at the Falls some partook of sumptious repasts which adequately satisfied ravenous appetites. The odor of boiling coffee and roasting weinies is one not soon to be forgotten. Many, however did not lunch until after having reached the top. The view from the meadows was one which inspired awe and Avonder. Still more wonderful was the scenery from the topmost pinnacle of Church Mountain with Mt. Baker on one side, range upon range of mountains on the other, and snow underneath. The weary pilgrims who had toiled'so faithfully over the last grinding mile certainly felt that the reward was ample. Each climber was loathe to turn back as he cast one longing look over the vast expanse of God's handiwork. And so with a little song of peace in our hearts we plunged from the Meadows in the sweet scented evergreens to emerge, only too soon, into the sunlight of every day affairs again. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN TBIP The 1920 Glacier excursion is now a thing of the1 past, but there are many pleasant memories for those of the group who went to Lookout Mountain. We had intended going to Roosevelt Glacier but when the trail divided every one took the wrong one. We had scarcely started when the party began to separate and those used to mountain hiking forged on ahead. When we reached the top everyone felt repaid for the three hour climb, for the view of Mt. Baker was magnificent. After a' short rest we went down .the hill to a small snow field. The whole party indulged in a snow battle to the accompaniment of clicking cameras. Mr. Kibbe has an excellent picture of the equator at close range. On the west slope of the mountain there was a small snow field and everybody indulged in a slide. Mr. Bancroft made a quick descent and collided with a log. At 2:45 we began the reutrn ti'ip, but before we had gone far Miss Onstine appropriated a pair of shoes belonging to Mr. Kibbe and they were a perfect fit. Those who made the trip were Misses Onstine, Gerber, Comer, Her re, Fitzgerald, Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Van Horn, Mr. Burley, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Burklund. On the whole, as Mr. Kibbe termed it, " We just had a ' kid' of a time." Organizations Y. W. C. A. A large number of girls were present at the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday to hear a delightful and inspiring message given by Mr. Thompson, a representative of the Inland Missionary Association. In his message he told us of the many hundreds of Chinese and Africans who have been converted and yet there were millions who were not yet converted. He also told what it means to be a missionary in a foreign field and what wonderful work and experience it is. His message was closed by urging the girls to enter this field if they felt the call, and we are certain that some did feel the call to this field after listening to such a wonderful lecture. Beach, we organized a club called the " LLL" or Loyal Lads and Lassies. Our officers are as follows: Margaret Penny cook, president; Frank Sather, vice-president, and Dorothy Snider, secretary and treasurer. The club plans to have picnics as long as the weather is good, and also to hold helpful meetings at each others homes every other Tuesday. Margaret Penny-cook will entertain the club at her home, 319 Magnolia Street, July 27th from 2 to 4 P. M. — DOROTHY SNIDER, Secretary-Treasurer. NORMAL GRADUATE WEDS The announcement of the wedding of Miss Annie Luella Airth and Mr. John H. Bren has come to the office of the president. Miss Airth is a graduate from the Normal in 1915. The wedding occurred July 16 at the Methodist church on Calle Avellaneda, Crnnaguey, Cuba. MISS MAUDE ELLIOTT WEDS PHILOMATHEANS The Philomathean Literary Society will enjoy a week end party August 6th, 7th and 8th at the.home of Mr. Kolstad on Lake Whatcom. RURAL LIFE Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, the Rural Lifers held a business and social meeting in room 130. The business meeting was short and the social meeting long. The entertainment included a reading by Grace Petitclerc, a mock trial, in which no thinking was allowed and a reading by Mrs. Anderson. From there the scene was removed to the small gymnasium where the new members were made to " ride the goat." Every device from drowning to electrocuting was employed. If the victims lived through :'t, they emerged full-fledged Rural Lifers. Thirteen went in and thirteen came out, withstanding the persecution royally. To be a Rural Lifer is to be a live wire .alright. CLUB ORGANIZED on our 6A Class picnic On Friday evening, July 16, at 7:45 o'clock, Miss Maude Elliott and Mr. Ralph Kugelman were married in Seattle at the home of Mrs. Oliver. The bride is one of the 1920 June graduates from Bellingham Normal, and was of the Edens Hall group while here. Mr. and Mrs. Kugelman have gone to their summer home on Lake Washington. Later they will be at home in Aberdeen. BELLINGHAM AN IDEAL SPOT Have you ever stopped to think what a wonderful place Bellingham is. With such scenery as this place offers, is it any wonder that this ideal spot was chosen for our school? What could give you more of an inspiration to study than beautiful surroundings? Then, again, where could you find more pleasure to indulge in than swimming, rowing, camping, tennis and many other sports that are ours to indulge in? Bellingham is a place that we would all be proud to call our home, and as long as we are here it is our home. Therefore, we must all help to keep it beautiful. — MARGUERITE FOYE While last | Thursday, July 15th, 1920, at Chuckanut BROAVN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building A FINE LINE OF LADIES' WRIST WATCHES THAT WILL APEAL TO NORMAL SCHOOL GIRLS Muller Asplund Jewelers Next to First National Bank Gage- Dodson Co.

Mr. Philippi, our lecture course chairman, received the following communication from Dean C. R. Maxwell, of the University of Wyoming: "Madame Barad scored great success last night She is a wonderful artist. Expectations more than realized." A student who has heard. Madame Zarad accounts: " Of all the real good things. I heard while attending Marquette Normal College two years ago, nothing impressed me like Madame Zarad's rich, high soprano and her charming personality. YE FATE OF YE SCHOOL MA'AM It was on an evening lonely, When a school ma'am, sad and lonely Dropped her school books with a yearning sigh; Was there not within the jungles, Some quiet spot within the-jungles Where Nepenthe, that arch-wooer, might reside? Straightway hastened toward the sunset, Toward the crimson purpling sunset, Through the narrow, dark'ning fringe of forest pine. There awaited her Nepenthe, All forgotten, save Nepenthe, Trouble, sorrow and all else beside. Now she wanders through the pine trees, Singing soft, beneath the pine trees Dreaming, happy, thinking not of books and cares. While the people, sad and sorry, Say in whispers, shocked and sorry, She is foolish, poor dear creature, And beyond our worldly prayers. — MARY AGATHA NIGHT By CARRIE WHITTIER Softly the darkness falls on land and sea, The sun is slowly sinking out of sight, Clothing the world in darkness — and the lea — Is all bathed in marvelous light. Just now the bay was robed in beauty bright Reflecting myriad hues, But fast the golden rays have sunk from sight — Changed all to blues. The night comes swiftly now on purply wings, The soft blue hues so quiet change to black, Night gently reigns — and in a low voice sings Her lullaby — no sweet thing doth earth lack. THE CHARGE OF THE NATURE STUDENTS Half a day, half a day, half a day outward, Cross the school campus, strode the brave hundred, Armed with a rake and hoe, Grasping a pail or two. Into the glare of day, into the heat of noon Strode the brave hundred. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs but to plant or die, E'en though the whole class knew they would be roasted. But when the fall class arrives, And beans and corn are ripe, The fall class shall reap the work Of the brave hundred. And when in years to come The robins and wrens come home Back to our campus, There they shall find a house Paid for through sweat brows Of these great farmers, Brave, honored students. — MARY AGATIIA OUR MOTHER Is there anyone else in the world so dear As Mother? Can anyone comfort and cheer Like Mother? When the sky is dark and the world goes wrong- She brightens us up with a smile and song — Our Mother. Is there anyone so good to you, Patient, loving, thoughtful and true As Mother? She makes home cheerful, bright and gay, She smiles, helps and sings all through the day — Our Mother. O, how she helps and guides us through life, Shielding us from cares and strife — Our Mother. Where e'er we go to the very end We'll always find her a faithful friend — Our Mother. So let us give praises to our Father above For the tender care and infinite love Of Mother. I wonder if we really appreciate our mothers and their efforts to help us as much as we should. Are we not likely to become careless in our attentions to our mothers; and spend our time and money on those, who do not care for us as our mothers do? How much mothers enjoy letters and remembrances from children away from home. Even though you are no longer a child — you may be twenty, yes, even thirty or more'— mother still thinks of you as her girl or her boy. Your ambitions, success, achievements are all of vital interest to her, though perhaps you do not realize it. • How often we hear the expression, " I have been so busy I didn't write home this week." Did you stop to think how disappointed mother would be when the postman came day after day with no news from her absent boy or girl? Mothers appreciate other attentions as well as letters. We spend so much money on luxuries for ourselves and friends, yet we seem to forget mother likes candy and flowers, etc., as well as we do. I think it would be a splendid thing if we would deny ourselves some luxury, candy or shows for example, and send mother some little remembrance as well as a letter each week. We shall always find young friends but we will not always have our mothers with us and I'm sure we can never find another friend like "Mother." — JESSIE O. MOSELEY If words of thine have cheered one failing heart, Kindled anew one fading altar fire, Thy work is not a failure; clouds are touched That shall reach from the angel choir. BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building MY NEIGHBOR'S CHICKENS Of all the things that make rural life accursed, My neighbor's chickens take the prize for being, the very worst. I sometimes plant a flower bed, and as soon as I'm away Those cunning hens march in to spend the day. Around our place is little seen, except holes and dirt, They eat the grass before it's green, and all my flowers hurt. My neighbor has a garden too; he keeps it looking fine, For he has trained his pirate crew to march over and eat mine. HIGHLAND CREAMERY CONFECTIONERY, ETC. H. A.

Harold Marshall (sitting in front row): " Oh, no they don't; look at me." IT DIDN'T WORK An Irishman was sitting in a station smoking when a woman came in and sitting down beside him remarked: " Sir, if you were a gentleman you would not smoke, here." " Mum," he said, " if you wuz a lady you'd sit farther away." Pretty soon the woman burst out again, " If you were my husband, I'd give you poison." " Well, mum," returned the Irishman as he puffed away at his pipe, "If you wuz me wife, I'd gladly take it." " Why did you take Elnora away from school, Aunt Mandy? " a lady asked her cook one day. Aunt Mandy sniffed scornfully. " Caus' de teacher ain't satisfact'ry to me. What do yu reckon she tell dat chile yestiddy? She low that IV spell four, when even an idjut 'ud know it spell ivy." Why does a duck go into the water? To liquidate her bill. Why does she come out? To make a run on the bank. Who was the straightest man in Bible days? David was, because the Pharaoh made a ruler out of him. When was the first tennis game played? When David served in Pharaoh's court. The library is to be closed during the warm weather, as the librarian is afraid the magazines will blow up. Mr. Kolstad: " Who was that who laughed out loud?

LANGUAGE DEVICE "What is a synonym?" asked a teacher. " Please, ma'am," . said a lad, " it's a word you can use in place of another if you don't know how to spell it." Farmer: "I'll give you five dollars a day to help me dig potatoes. You can start now." Dusty Rhodes: "Guess you'd better do it alone, mister. You planted 'em, so you know where they are." Pinckney: "The dentist told me I had a large cavity that needed filling." Primer: "Certainly, and did he recommend a special course of study? " Brown: "I understand that Senator Green wanted you to act as his private secretary." Simmons: " He did, but I wouldn't accept the position because I should have to sign everything, ' Green, per Simmons.' " Perhaps the man who celebrated his 131st birthday recently in Louisville, Kentucky, can remember the time when the. butchers gave away liver. Mrs. O'Rourke (to charitable old Mr. O'Neil, who is giving away poultry to the needy): "Long life to yer honor; sure I'll never see a goose agin but I'll think of yez." A novel reason for discipline was that vouchsafed by a child whose school record was a grief to his parents. " Tommy," said his teacher, one day in despair, " why do you think I scold you so much ? " " 'Cause you get sort of fretful keeping school," was the evidently honest and quite unexpected reply. The stingiest man was scoring the hired man for his extravagance in wanting to carry a lantern in going to see his girl. " The idea ! " he scoffed, " When I was courtin' I never carried no lantern; I went in the dark." The hired man proceeded to fill the lantern. " Yes," he said sadly, " and look what you got." HYGIENIC POVERTY A young lady in this state went to the bank to get her monthly check cashed. The paying teller, as he counted the cash out deftly, said: " I'm sorry not to be able to give you clean new bills, miss. I hope you're not afraid of microbes." "Oh, no, I'm not afraid of them," said the young lady cheerfully. " No microbes could live on my salary." L. E.: "Give me a penny's worth of mixed candies." Clerk: " Here are two, you can mix them yourself." A Senior to a Junior: " I don't care if you step on my feet, but please don't linger on them." Jack: "Say," boy, you're dog bit me on the ankle." Tom: " Well, that is as high as he can reach. You wouldn't expect a little pup like him to bite you on the neck, would you ? " THE WHOLE SECRET Benny (having great difficulty in teaching his little sister to whistle): "Aw, jest make a hole in your face and push;" EMBARRASSING MOMENTS • One day, hearing a rap at the door and thinking it Avas my husband playing a joke on me, I said, " Come in." Another rap and I thought I'll see :if he can fool me, I'll just scare you a little. So, gently I tiptoed to the door, thrust out my head and cried, " Boo, you little imp. I know who you are." Picture my embarrassment on seeing the new pastor instead of my husband. President (at meeting): " Now I want you boys to be so quiet that you could hear a pin drop." . Small voice (at rear of room when everything was quiet) : "Let 'er 'drop ! " A girl who lived in Bellingham Had a pa who was crabbed and stern. He'd startle young, men By appearing at ten And saying, " I move we adjourn." Teacher: "Let us air try to keep together in singing." Bright pupil: "I am together." We believe Mr. Kibbe is trying to imitate Sir Walter Raleigh. Instead of laying his coat down for a young lady to step on to cross a mud hole he loaned her one of his shoes. We expect Clyde Bancroft to take two shirts on the next trip to the mountain, and we think it advisable, too, for him to take a sled as it will be much easier on shirts..

Jessica Ryan-Seale Western student The pattern of the type of cars stolen has led police to believe the same people are responsible for the thefts, Richards said. However, no arrests have been made. The chance of recovery for stolen cars is 50 percent. The cars used for parts will probably never be found, Richards said. Jessica Ryan-Seale had her 1985 Toyota Camry stolen from her North Forest Street residence sometime between 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 24. Ryan-Seale's car has yet to be recovered.

The Bellingham City Council will hear from environmental regulatory agencies and G-P's environmental experts at its Thursday meeting that will address concerns about G-P diesel generators. By Stephanie Kosonen THE WESTERN FRONT Potential health issues regarding Georgia-Pacific's use of diesel generators discussed at the Jan. 22 city council meeting generated enough concern to convince the Bellingham City Council to hear presentations from the Department of Ecology, Northwest Air Pollution Authority and G-P's environmental experts Thursday. The groups will present information regarding pollution, health and G-P's plan for power sources. The public is invited to attend, but no public testimony will be taken.

This means that one in every nine Western food employees, including clerks at these eateries, are not licensed to handle food.

Cockrell said at that point, Q-P employees thought the higher rates were simply a result of a summer shortage. However, "It went absolutely crazy in the fall," Cockrell said.

Nineteen-year-old Gerardo Chavez-Ibarra is recovering from the amputations and open-heart surgery he underwent in Arlington. The bite was especially damaging because of a pre- existing bacterial infection, which damaged a valve in Chavez-Ibarra's heart. He apparently suffered the bite while sleeping. Charges filed in murder of foreign bride EVERETT - Prosecutors have filed murder charges in the death of a mail-order bride. Snohomish County prosecutors have charged Daniel Kristopher Larson with first-degree murder. Larson is a 20-year-old sex offender who was staying in the home of Indie Bong Jr. and his wife, Anastasia King. Anastasia disappeared in September and was found dead two months later. Prosecutors said Larson killed the woman at the direction of her husband. Prosecutors claim Larson strangled Anastasia King with a necktie and that Indie King helped him. Anastasia King was from the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan. She came to Washington two years ago to marry Indie King and was a University of Washington student. A memorial service for her took place on Sunday in Seattle. NATIONAL NEWS Man kills five in workplace shooting MELROSE PARK, HL - The nation's latest spasm of workplace violence has left five people dead and four wounded. Authorities said a former Navistar employee â€” who was supposed to start a prison term Tuesday for stealing from the company â€” opened fire at a company truck plant near Chicago. Officials confirm the gunman - identified as William Baker - is among the five dead. They will not be providing any further information until more is certain. Baker was supposed to surrender to authorities to begin a five-month sentence. He had pleaded guilty last year to a charge of conspiracy to commit theft from an interstate shipment. Two of the people injured are in critical condition. New drug aids in fat fight WASHINGTON - A study performed at Mass. Institute of Technology states that an injected drug that causes muscles to burn fat at a high rate may offer hope for controlling extreme obesity. The study shows that obese mice lost weight despite eating unlimited amounts of a high-calorie, fatty diet. But a researcher says the drug is far from ready to be tested on people. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Survivors found in Indian earthquake BHUJ, India - Two people who were found trapped in their home in India Monday â€”10 days after it was damaged by the country's devastating earthquake â€” are apparently in good shape. Rescuers said they were taken to a clinic, where both were strong enough to walk - and they apparently then left to be reunited with relatives. Soldiers found the two in a home that had sustained severe damage to the ground floor, blocking the entrance. They saw the man waving through the grill of a second story window. The man was able to walk and talk, but the woman was weaker. All she had eaten since Jan. 26 was cereal. Their home was in Bhuj, one of the towns worst affected by the earthquake.

Everyone has it. Everyone needs it. Western's winter quarter blood drive runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. The drive is being organized by SHAIC and Western's health center and will take place in the Viking Union 565. The blood drive is run through The Puget Sound Blood Program, which plays a vital role in meeting the needs of patients in the community. The non-profit organization provides blood and blood components to 50 hospitals and clinics in 11 Washington counties. Across the United States, someone needs blood every three seconds. More than 50,000 patients each year in the Puget Sound region are helped from the blood of about 120,000 community donors to the Blood Program. People need blood for a variety of medical procedures such as surgery, cancer therapy and treatment of heart disease. Persons involved in trauma emergencies, such as burns and auto accidents, often also require large quantities of blood and blood components. Because whole blood can be stored for only 35 days,, and platelets â€” small cells in the blood that control bleeding â€” for 3-5 days, blood donations are always needed, according to the PSB program. Anyone who is at least 18 years old, weighs at least 110 pounds and is in good health may donate blood every 56 days. Only sterile, disposable equipment is used throughout the donation process, which makes it virtually impossible to contract a disease from donating blood. Since 1985, more than one million transfusion have been prepared at the Puget Sound Blood Program. To date, none of the approximately 250,000 patients who received these blood products have been reported to have AIDS. The PSBC reports it is down to a three-day supply and in critical need for O positive blood. They have only a 1-2 day supply of O negative and B negative, with the condition labeled an emergency. Roughly 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, yet only 5 percent do. Western students are encouraged to stop by and donate blood. Students can contact Catherine Vader with any questions at 650-2961.

The We Can program is designated to eliminate the myth that everyone drinks in college. Through on-campus marketing and the work of 200 student lifestyle advisers, We Can informs people that 84 percent of students drink responsibly or don't drink at all. "Most of our students make healthy decisions about their lives," Fabiano said. "There is always a group that puts themselves at risk though." Fabiano thinks Western is a very moderate school, and not a lot of people are getting drunk every weekend. "At least a fifth of the students at Western are committed to not drinking," Fabiano said.

Although more than half of Western students are responsible drinkers, there are the fifth that are still making poor choices. "We are trying to get people to moderate down, not abstain." Fabiano said. "We want them not hurt themselves or others. I think students feel that we are talking to them realistically about their lives, not like they can't think for themselves."
