Businesses answer to yellowfin boycott By Ellis Baker staff reporter Asuccessful on-campus boycott of yellowfin tuna encouraged a Western student to contact businessesoff-campus and several are responding, said senior Cortlandt Fletcher. Haggen Foods is the first major grocery store to respond to Fletcher's request to boycott yellowfin tuna, although six stores werecontacted, he said. Haggen's spokesperson Anita Wisman said that while the store probably won'tremove yellowfin tuna from the shelves, it will address the issue. "I've outlined six or seven optionsthat we have open ... I'm presenting those options to my boss," Wisman said. "I don't think that wecan duck issues like this. I think that it's time to look at issues like pesticides and dolphins and meetthem head on, while keeping in mind the needs of both the company and our customers." Fletcher, anenvironmental education major and director of the Regenerative Society, an Associated Studentsorganization, said he has contacted grocery stores and restaurants, both large and small, to educate owners and managers about the yellowfin tuna issue. A national tuna boycott, sponsored by EarthIsland, is in force because commercial tuna-fishing methods in tropical zones of the Pacific Ocean maykill as many as 115,000 dolphins a year, Fletcher said. Denise Ranney, owner of Around the CornerCafe, said Fletcher contacted her about six weeks ago. She decided to buy a similarly pricedalternative, but her supplier has had little success in finding one. "It's a goal of ours. We can getalbacore [tuna] really easily, but that's about $20 a case more than yellowfin tuna and we just can't justify that expense, not with a $2.50 sandwich," Ranney said, adding that tuna sandwiches are therestaurant's best seller. see Tuna on page 12 Jugglers take center stage By Star Rush assistant newseditor The Associated Students will stand on their heads to make a deal. Well, almost. In an attemptto attract students'attention to available AS jobs for next year, the AS hired jugglers to perform in frontof their information table Tuesday in Red Square. Dressed in shorts and tie-dye T-shirts, The Needlesperformed various juggling feats. At one point they set aside their usual batons and daringly tossed firewands. No one was safe from the juggler's crazy antics, as an elementary school class soon foundout. The children were whisked away from their safe vantage point in the audience to center stage whenthe jugglers pulled them into the act. Along with the jugglers, the AS promotion included giving awayfree candy. A large crowd of people gathered in Red Square all day, but as Front photographer TylerAnderson observed, was it the jugglers or the sun that drew the crowds? Campus cruisers Students tovote in bike referendum By Gail Skurla staff reporter Western bicyclists and pedestrians can vote onthe "bikes on campus" issue in a referendum on May 9 and 10, said Associated Students PresidentTammy Fleming. Student opinion revealed by the referendum results, however, may not have anyimpact. Parking Office Director Ann Wallace said she doesn'tknow if the Parking Advisory Committee,which is in the process of making safety recommendations, will postpone submitting a proposal untilafter the referendum has been held. The Central Safety Committee, which had been working onrecommendations to resolve the issue, has transferred the problem to the Transportation andParking Office. "There is, potentially, a (safety) problem," Fleming said. "(The committee) is askingthe parking office to enforce the regulations that are already in place." Currently, the WashingtonAdministrative Code (WAC) states that pedestrians have the right-of-way on plaza areas, sidewalks andcampus paths, and bicyclists must use caution when riding in these areas. "(The WAC) is so vague,there is no way to enforce it," Wallace said. "We wish to provide more specific restrictions." Wallacesaid solutions being considered by the Parking Advisory Committee include assigning specific areasfor bike lanes and restricting bicyclists from riding on pedestrian pathways, requiring them to walktheir bikes through campus. The actual wording of the referendum has not yet been decided, Flemingsaid. She noted the AS "does not support a bike ban." "If I had to choose between a bike ban or thestatus quo, I'd choose the status quo," she added. Student Philip Moore, a bicyclist, said theuniversity "is negligent for not having bike paths." He also suggested installing more bike racks,preferably covered. Greg Madson, a graduate student and bicyclist, said safety on campus pathways isa problem. "I've seen people riding down the paths without their fingers on the brakes," he said.Restricting bicycles would probably improve safety, he noted. A ban would not, however, prevent himfrom continuing to ride through campus, Madson said. Gloria Johnson, a senior and pedestrian, said aban is not necessary as long as bicyclists ride safely and are considerate. She said she had seen awoman who was hit by a bicyclist "who didn't even apologize. He knocked her down... grunted and ran off." â€¢iliBHi^^BlHliiiiSH^S |^|J|Ji||^jJ|||||||||J SiiBlllSBIIIBB^BiiiSSi ful, may lead to a nationwide trendcenter director Sid DeVries said under the experiment, phone jacks will hook directly into a billingcomputer even when the residence S l H f^ HSBBiilMHillBBii^Ml ifcSiBilBiSHiSi^Bli phone service, apotential subscriber iiiiiilPiiB^jKHiiHBiiis ing-up your phone is a real hassle, IjlllBiliSj^MilBIHHi! thepeople who want service, and dents may do several times a year* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and plug your phoneinto your new able with going through aicomputer agreed.

Drinking age, crime rate up Since Moscow, Idaho, raised its drinking age from 19 to 21 in 1987,Pullman and Washington State University Police have reported an increase in parties on campusinvolving minors and an increase in crimes connected with those parties. The law hasn't helped theMoscow bar and nightclub economy either.

Reinstate officers, survey suggests By Paul Mahlum staff reporter Western'scampus security officers should be recommissioned, suggested a recent student survey conducted by members from the AS Board and the Inter-Hall Council. Mike Petrie, AS vice president of activities, said the purpose of the survey was not to promote the re-commissioning of the campus security officers,but to evaluate the effectiveness of the current system. Associate Director MikeBartosch of Residence Life, said the survey was designed to see if students and staff members have access to informationabout the campus security system. Since the Board of Trustees decommissioned Western'sDepartment of Public Safety last September, the number of campus security officers has declined from11 to nine. Green-coats, or students who patrol academic buildings after hours, have been cut by nine. Petrie said 41 of 172 students living in residence halls and 28 of 77 residence hall staff membersresponded to the survey. Petrie and Inter-Hall Council representative Brett Bigger said survey resultswere suggestive of student sentiments, but not conclusive because of the small number of surveyrespondents. Based upon these numbers, Bigger said a large majority of the students supportedrecommissioning. "There was even more concern over a lack of visibility of security officers on campus.Last year we always saw security- officers and greencoats on campus," he said. Fifty-percent of thestaff members who responded said they feel the current system is not effective enough and supportedrecommissioning the officers. Bartosch said, "In the past they (residence hall staffers) could solve all oftheir problems by calling one number. Now they have to discriminate on what number to call." About48 percent of the students surveyed said they weren't clear of the changes in the system, said Petrie."From the survey, lots of people feel less secure on campus now than they did last year," he said. "Abigger problem is a lack of a clear role of what campus security officers can do. There has been a longlist on what they can't do. There has to be a long list of what they can do." Petrie and Bigger will present their recommendations, based on the results of the survey, to the Board of Trustees at their meetingsnext month. Petrie said the recommendations will include a proposal to increase the visibility of campussecurity officers and the Bellingham Police on campus. "There should be an increased level ofprotection on campus," Petrie said. "There should be increased foot patrol on campus and a decreased response time to incidents on campus."

This is â€¢ H H . . .SWIBIBB^BII^BI,:. time equivalent means the number BBB^^BBiiHHii^PiHs Minority recruitment upMinority enrollment at Western has increased because of a special minority recruiting and retentionplan used for the past' two years. Each year of the two-year plan (1987 to 1989), $150,000 wasallocated for such additions as a minority admission counselor and a minority achievement programcoordinator. In fall 1980, minority enrollment was 4.6 percent of the student body. It increased to 7percent in fall 1988. Enrollment of blacks, Native Americans and Hispanics increased 77 percent from last fall. This increase is definitely a result of the special allocation, said Vice President Saundra Taylor. Western Information Nights have been conducted for minority communities in the Interstate-5 corridor.Contacts with minority high school students have increased by 50 percent and minority counselors inhigh schools have been contacted about Western's programs. Faculty and peer mentor programshave been established. "Our intent is to expand it. We want to make sure every minority student haseither a peer or faculty mentor," Taylor said. The faculty and peer mentor program consists ofvolunteers who will support minority students with advice and academic help.

The Associated Students are proposing to purchase a boatto transport students to and from the island. Jim Schuster, associate director for operations for theViking Union, is examining the purchase of a 26- foot, flat-bottom Beachmaster with a 200-horsepowerengine. The boat has a cabin that can hold up to six people. Schuster said the boat has been used byWestern before as a water taxi. He said the owner recently put it up for sale, and Schuster is having itsurveyed to determine its worth. He said the price will probably be between $17,000 and $20,000. ASPresident Tammy Fleming said the AS Board is waiting for Schuster's recommendation before decidingwhether to purchase the boat "A lot of students ask about the island," she said, "and we say you canuse it if you can find some way to get there." Schuster said the difficulty of going to the island has notstopped students. "A lot of students have been getting there," he said, "but you have to know someonewith a boat. It's not a workable situation. â€¢' Fleming said if Schuster finds a boat that would beeconomical for the AS to purchase, the money will come out of a reserve fund which the AS has storedaway for larger purchases. "There's plenty of money in there," she said. "The reason we have it isbecause we've saved it for big things as opposed to little things like dances." Schuster said the boatcould be used for other purposes. Huxley could use it for conducting water studies, the scuba club could use it on dives and the boat could also shuttle students to other islands around Puget Sound.Western junior Cari Lawson, majoring in industrial psychology, said she was interested in renting acabin on Sinclair Island until she found the only way to get there was through private means. "I calledabout it and they said, 'Do you have your own boat?'" Lawson said the purchasing of a boat would be abenefit for residence hall functions, but she thought $20,000 was too expensive. Fleming said studentscan approve or deny purchase of the boat through referendum. They can also ask the AS to purchasesomething else. Schuster said the boat would be piloted by student volunteers who have a knowledge of boating and have been checked out on the boat. He said students would have to pay to rent it out.WHATCOM CHORALE RICHARD ASHER.

They perform little tricks to keep their special someone happy. And, yes, sometimes they pee onthe floor. These are not your average unwanted, uninvited guests. These are your life, your love, yourpride and joy â€” also known as illegal pets. But everyone knows you're not supposed to have pets in the dorms or campus apartments, right? Well, some people choose to ignore that inconvenient little ruleand keep that "contraband kitty" anyway. Ridgeway Gamma Resident Adviser (R.A.) Scoti Watson said, "If you have a pet, it has to "The whole floor knew about the cat. Everybody knew about the cat," shesaid. Lewis said the hamster would "chew up all its plastic toys and... shit all over the floor. But thehamster was too loud; it kept me awake at night." She eventually sold it back to the pet store.Originally, Lewis wanted a lizard. "But the lady at the pet store said I had to feed it live crickets, and Isaid, 'No!'" Watson said he hasn't written up anyone this year for having pets. "There really aren't anyproblems with pets. Most people don't keep cats or dogs in their room." But one Ridgeway roomactuallyjiad an orange alley cat and a black lab puppy. Where the hamster would "chew up all its plastictoys and... shit all over the floor. But the hamster was too loud; it kept me awake at night." -ColeenLewis pass the 24-hour underwater test." (That means fish to you and me.) The Residential CommunityHandbook says if you harbor a cat, dog, fowl orreptile, you will be allowed 48 hours to find a new homefor the pet. You'll also be charged fumigation costs. However, these rules rarely keep residents fromcaring for that "significant other." Rats, salamanders, turtles, spiders, hamsters, cats, dogs and evensnakes have been found to inhabit Western's campus. Stephanie Pender, aHigginson R.A., found a"beady-eyed rodent" in one of her residents' rooms the second day of the quarter. "They didn't just bringup some beloved pet from home," she said. "They bought it especially for school." Pender said it wasrisky of them because she spends a lot of time in her residents' rooms and the aquarium was clearlyvisible at the head of the bed. So what possesses people to keep an illegal pet? "Because I didn't likefish and I wanted something," said sophomore Coleen Lewis, who kept a hamster in her Nash dorm room for most of last year. "You can't really play with a fish or a turtle," she said. Lewis kept the hamster inthe closet with the light on all the time. She said her R.A. "never had a clue" about the pet. She also had a full-grown cat for one week before she got caught. they are now is the key question. Inquiring mindswant to know these things. Their temporary owners said the cat was given to them and the dog justshowed up on campus so they brought him home. The dog stayed for just two days before hedisappeared. "We let him out and I think people just took him," one resident said. The cat, namedReggie Holmes, stayed for three weeks. "He just came in here once in a while. No big deal. He'd get out through the window and he'd smell the bushes for hours," one roommate said. "He's totally cool."Tame cat, really tame," another roommate said. "If he comes back we'll take him back in," theyagreed. Their only major problem came from their short-stay pet. "The dog peed a lake in the bathroom.It was brutal." Whatever the problems, the residents were proud of their temporary pets. "I think we'rethe first people to have a dog, a cat and a fish at the same time." A former Higginson resident kept akitten for two weeks before a custodian reported her, despite the apparent fact that the feline was awanderer. "Whoever fed it, it belonged to," she said. The cat would leave the room, go down to the lawn,do its "thing" and then go back to the room. "So, he was like pretty potty-trained," she said. Theproblem came in hiding the evidence. "The custodian would come in in the morning and there'd be catdishes all over and she'd get pissed." Sometimes, campus residents find homes for their pets offcampus. One Nash Hall resident sneaked her rabbit into Edens Hall for the night before she found afriend with a fenced-in yard. She walks to the house every day to feed and play with the bunny. TylerAnderson/The Western Front She got the albino rabbit from the pound about a year ago. It looked like the rabbit she had as a child and'she couldn't resist. "So, I decided to save the rabbit," she said. Obviously, pets are an important part of â€¢ students' lives. People will risk write-ups and fumigation costs, not tomention clean-up duty to house their little bundles of joy. However, some people commit a faux pas when it comes to caring for their pets, such as the Edens Hall resident who accidentally used warm water inher fish bowl and boiled her Beta to death. Eeek!

Looking for something a little more mentally stimulating than a music video? Then check out some of the artistic flicks served up during spring quarter's InternationalFilm Series. "The campus has an excellent chance to- experience modern and classic films fromaround the world," said Chris Ninaud, coordinator of the Cross-Cultural Center. Japan, Spain, India,China, Germany, France and Africa are all represented by one or more films, which range in date ofrelease from Fritz Lang's 1931 classic "M' to the 1986 film "The Woman in My Life." Fans of foreigncinema should not pass up such an opportunity. For those who have never seen a foreign film before,this will be a welcome treat and a breath of fresh air in a society used to "safe" filmmaking. It also will be a chance to open new perspectives on other cultures as well as our own. Don'tlettheuseof subtitles (you know, those little words running along the bottom of the screen) scare you away. What seems likeannoying work initially, becomes easier by the minute, and soon the distraction is minimal. Foreigncinema is so unlike anything made in this country that those turning their backs upon non- English filmsare depriving themselves of a memorable experience. But if you're adventurous and interested in newdiscoveries and other cultures, then don't miss this series of international film classics. The moviesbegin at 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday in the Wilson Library Presentation Room. Tickets are $2 at the doorfor each showing. The series is sponsored by the International Students Club.

I'm not talking about a commie, radical, bleedingheart or garden- variety dissenter. I'm talking about The Flaming Lips. Now you're probably scanningyour foamy memory banks trying to remember the name of the last great band, or any band, that camefrom Oklahoma City. If you can'tremem-ber that's because nothing worth a Midwestern road apple hasever come out of Oklahoma City â€” until now. Think of The Flaming Lips as a multi-tentacled creaturethat pounds drum sticks like an orangutan on speed, grinds guitar strings with a chainsaw and screamslike it's being eaten alive. Yes, they really are that good. 'Telepathic Surgery" is The Lips' latest release. I'm not going to compare it to their other albums because ... I haven't heard their previous releases.All right, I know I'm out of touch, but I've repented and welcomed the Lips into my life with open arms,so give me a break. "Telepathic Surgery" sounds like a collection of grinding guitar jams, heavy drumbeats, disturbed grunts, growlings and damn good lyrics, with assorted special affects, thrown into ablender and "frapayed" for 40 minutes. The tape includes two "bonus" tracks, "Fryin' Up" and "Hell'sAngels' Cracker Factory." AlBum Review "Fryin' Up," a song that may be about getting stoned on Easter Sunday, is an outrageously gut wrenching, teeth grinding, ultimately orgasmic piece of rock androll. "Cracker Factory" begins with motorcycle revving and progresses into a seemingly endlessbombardment of metal grinding metal grinding more metal ... until you feel as if somebody hasunscrewed the top of your head and jammed an ice pick into your cranium. Clenching your teeth andbiting your tongue, you realize you want more. The "song" ends with a bizarre answering machinemessage. Don't try to find logic here, just go with it. The creature responsible for this drug induced,mind bending trip through musical hell goes by the names Richard, Mike and Wayne. Richard is the one responsible for all the banging and bashing, the primal beating of the skins that's shocked critics intocomparing him to the oh-so- Christ-like rock legend John Bonham. Meanwhile, Wayne does a lot of thescreaming, wailing, barking, mumbling, uttering and occasional vocalizing, while simultaneouslybeating the hell out of his guitar. Mike makes his bass go boom-boom- booin. (Hey Mikey, I like it.)While all this was happening somebody somewhere had the fore-. sight to plug a doohickey into awatchamacallit and "Telepathic Surgery" was born. This psychedelic epic explores thepossibility orinevitability of U.F.O.S landing on Earth and the confusion that follows. The Lips' warped musical style and twisted lyrics have earned them comparisons with Sonic Youth and the But-thole Surfers, butneither comparison does them justice. The Lips are /'gutsier" and more innovative than Sonic Youth,and not nearly as fried out and dried up as the Butthole Surfers. The Buttholes do a thorough job of being weird for weirdness sake while displaying minimal talent, but the Lips have actually become damn goodmusicians who make tripped out, psychedelic music that might actually mean something. Just look atthese lyrics: "1 think the state ofmind that I'm in we should drop it right now... Well you've got yourself to blame if you need those sunny days and all those plans that I made, there all changed by the end of the day, cause god flicked up when he made its, cause he made us so we could hate us, and the worldcould end in a second..." "The Last Drop of Morning Dew" Yes, it does sound thoroughly confused,frantic, over the edge and far, far down into the surrealistic abyss of some drugged-out, non-reality,and yet, we find ourselves screaming, "Yes! Yes!" as if some divine prophet has led us down the lostpath of our ultimate comprehension, from which we gain complete awareness. No, just kidding. It's stillone hell of an album though.

That example may be stretching things a bit, but everyone has atleast a little bit of rock V roll inside of them. Don't try and deny it, even if you do listen to Glen Campbellor Whitney Houston. It started early in your life. Mom and dad realized that as a child, you had nocapability of choosing a radio station or record to listen to, so they did the honors. You simply had nomind of your own. Besides it was their record player anyway, right? They raised you on "their kind ofmusic," which meant anything from Pat Boone to Country Joe and the Fish. Nonetheless, Pat Boone did attempt a few boppers and this leads into the point I'm trying to make: Everyone's a rocker deep down.As you grew up,you realized that those weekend drives with the folks became more monotonousbecause they had the likes of Andy Williams and Mary Wells blaring from the AM radio. There was nosuch thing as FM in cars yet. Your brain subconsciously stored these tribal utterances, and althoughnowadays you don't remember all the words, you still remember the tune as you search the AM dial inyour own car while traveling on an out of-town freeway. Don't try to convince yourself that you don' t likea song with a good rock beat, because you're the same person who gets caught tapping your foot to themusic â€” even in elevators. On goes your adolescence. You end up joining band in elementary or junior high school, and realize that after six years of playing the clarinet, you need braces and can' tparticipate in high school stage band because the clarinet is an orchestra instrument. Instead ofswitching to the saxophone like your band teacher suggests, you rebel by quitting the band andtaking up a rock 'n' roll instrument. You choose: the guitar, if you think you're a loud person; the bass,if you've got rhythm; keyboards, if you had a crush on the church organist; drums, if you liked beatingup on your younger sibling. Now that you're in college,you're trying to juggle school with practice timefor your "act." You're trying to grow your hair long(er), at least until you get home for vacation, whenmom and dad give you the "hippie" speech, and you're breaking in the leather jacket. You've got notionsin your head of being up on stage at Buck's before school's out â€” or at least before you graduate. If astranger sees you putting your instrument into your car, you lie and say you're off to another out-of-towngig. And when you're all alone, you sit back and laugh at the memories of your parents singing "I WantTo Hold Your Hand," realizing that you haven't sold anything for rock V roll, you 've just learned toappreciate it. / have, but you won't catch me getting off on that elevator Muzak! ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 14 - Page 8 ---------- 8 April 14,1989 The Western Front Friday Buck's Tavern: Red Buick performs at 9:30 p.m. $2 covercharge.

The firstgame was dominated by Viking pitcher Dean Hove, who threw a complete game four-hitter in which hestruck out eight batters. With the score tied at 1-1, Western outfielder Scott River drilled a two-runsingle with the bases loaded and advanced to second on the throw to home plate. Two walks pushed inanother run before Todd Burkman hit a two-run double to up the score to 6-1. The Vikes scored their final three' runs on errors, making the final score 9-1. The second game was a slugfest from the openinginning. Fraser Valley scored four runs in the top of the first to take a quick 4-0 lead. Western respondedwith four runs of its own in the bottom of the inning , to knot the score at four apiece. Fraser Valleyscored single runs in the second and fourth innings to take the lead 6-4, before Western exploded for five more runs in the bottom of the fourth to lead 9-6. Fraser Valley scored another run in the sixth beforepounding the Viking pitching for seven runs in the top of the seventh. Western had one last chance toscore. The Viking rally began with two outs and Rob Messmer on first, then they came up with threewalks, three singles and were helped by two wild pitches. After batting through the order, Messmerstepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and down by one run. He hit a fly ball to centerfield, butthe Fraser Valley centerfielder dropped the ball and Jensen and Shelton scored to win the game 15-14and end a wild night of baseball. Western's leading hitters were first baseman Randy Joyner,with twohits and two RBI, and catcher Brian Shea,who had two hits and four RBI. The Vikings enjoyed five FraserValley errors. Diane Kershner/The Western Front Viking first baseman Andrew Shelton (9) stretches just enough to get the out. -â€¢â€¢ - Warthogs look hopeful for reinstatement By Rob Martin staff reporterIn a vote of eight to three, Western's Club Sports Council decided to allow the rugby team to return as anactive member of the council. "Things are finally starting to turn around for the rugby team, and with theamount of effort we have been putting into getting reinstated, I feel things will work out for the best,"said rugby team Captain Aaron Davis. The team lost its club status-along with its funding, as a result ofOctober 28, 1987,dorm raids. A commando-style nighttime raid was staged against Ridgeway Sigma byabout 30 men in camouflage. The "commandos" tore down bulletin boards, and pens off doors, andsprayed shaving cream. Rugby players were accused of the incident, but nothing was proven. Davissaid, no charges were ever filed against the group because nobody could identify the individualsinvolved. Club Sports adviser Marie Sather said the team presented the CSC with its proposal forreinstatement on April 3, and it was accepted. "The final decision, however, will be made following ameeting between rugby team officers and the club sports administration," Sather said. In a meetingthat will take place later next week, "the (club sports) administration will look at the different aspects ofthe team's return and see if they are willing to uphold the stipulations we decide on. We will then makeour decision based on whether or not we feel comfortable having them come back in our club sportsystem," she said. Rugby team President Steve Biggs said he feels good about the team's chances ofgetting reinstated. "Whatever we have to do to get reinstated, we are going to do," Biggs said. "If wedecide to allow the team back, they will be placed on probation for a period of two years, in which theywill be without funding," Sather said. Davis said if the team is able to come back as a club, the lack offunding is going to hurt, but through a number of fund-raisers they will be able to manage. "The moneythat we raise will be used to replace rugby balls that have been worn out or lost and also to pay fortournaments which make up a big part of our season," Davis said. "The main thing with money, however,is that we would like to use some of it to get a coach," Davis said. Gill James, a Western alumnus andformer Viking rugby and football player.has expressed an interest in the position. James said he hopesto be coaching Western's rugby team next year. "If I become coach of the team, my major goalswould be to clean up the image of the team at Western and to establish a quality program," he said.After the probation period, their case will come back to the CSC. It will look at any incidents that occured during the two-year period and decide if they were positive representatives of the university. "We justwant to make su/e they are going to represent Western in a positive way," Sather said. "The team'sattitude has been very positive throughout this whole ordeal," Davis said, adding, "Getting reinstatedmeans we will again be able to use the university facilities-which is of major importance." "When we getto use the field on campus we have people come down and watch the games, whereas if we played offcampus people are less likely to see us play," Davis said. Rugby Club Vice President Herb Reich said,"We are a whole new rugby team now, with a fresh, positive attitude." "As far as those people who werepart of the problem (in 1987), they're all gone now. They have either graduated or moved away," Reichsaid. "We are focused now on getting back and developing a quality team as well as get more peopleinvolved," he said. "Western rugby has had a long winning tradition and we want to keep that traditionalive."

On Tuesday, the AS Board passed the officialelection code outlining proper candidate conduct for spring quarter's elections, set for May 9 and 10. It'sabout time. For years students have plastered every inch of outside wall . space to try to outdo othercandidates. But now the motto for posting posters appears to be "quality, not quantity," and those whoviolate the code or incite complaints will get a hearing to decide their punishment. In the hearing, theBoard can "take any action deemed appropriate and necessary," which includes "disqualification, publicapology, censure, no action, suspension from campaigning ..." And the list of rules goes on: Accordingto the code, candidates must clean up their own mess â€” that means picking up posters that fall down,using materials that won't disintegrate, using non-soluable paints that won't stain walls and taking downall posters 48 hours after the election. Candidates must also make sure the handbills they pass outmake it into a recycle bin or wastebasket. Posters can only be displayed on the designated sides ofbuildings. A single poster cannot Dlaster the entire side of a building by being larger than 4 feet by 12feet. Yard signs are a definite no-no. So starting atmidnight, April 30, candidates have 6 hours to put upposters. Bravo to the AS Board for having the foresight needed to take care of a potential problem beforeit becomes a reality. Fusion a cure for energy blues S ay goodbye to toxic waste, acid rain and ozonedepletion caused by polluting energy sources. Someday, maybe within our lifetimes, the world may berunning on a clean, safe and inexpensive energy source produced by nuclear fusion instead of fission.Sounds too good to be true. But two scientists, one American and one British, claimed last month thatthey fused (or squeezed together) hydrogen atoms, instead of splitting them, to release energy. Ofcourse skeptics abound. But maybe in the distant future we'll be telling the story of Chernobyl and ThreeMile Island to a generation that has no concept of the China syndrome. Wouldn't it be pretty to think so.Laura Gordon, editor; Mary Darling, managing editor, Tina Pinto, news editor, Star Rush, assistant newseditor, Don Hunger, campus government; Linda Dahlstrom, special projects; Cliff Pfenning, Accent editor, Mark Hines, assistant Accent editor; Kim Hauser, People editor; Erik K.

They guard the most sacred Moslem shrines, asArab businessmen congregate at bus stops on their way to offices downtown in this holy city. Hardly the place for shootings and flag-burnings? It depends on who you ask, an Arab or a Jew. Not far away â€” roughly the distance between Bellingham and Lynden â€” violent uprisings continue in the Israeli-occupied Gaza and the West Bank, which remain the centerpieces for a free Palestinian state.Welcome to the occupation. Face it. It's just a matter of time before a settlement is reached and a newnation-state is welcomed. Time is something Israel is running out of, as it becomes clearer that a growing part of the Jewish population admits it's time to sit down with Palestinian Liberation Organizationleaders. U.S. officials also have expressed Douglas Buell staff reporter an interest in talks with PLOleaders. So who is holding up the negotiations? Israel's Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, that's who.During his visit to Washington D.C. last week, Shamir recommended a proposal for elections amongPalestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. PLO leader Yasser Arafat saw through this guise to findPalestinians supportive of Israel, thereby weeding out PLO sympathizers. Arabs would have no part inballoting under Israeli occupation, he said- The United States, pivotal in any territorial decision involvingthe country's vital interests, should take a firm stand to recognize a new Palestinean state comprisingGaza and the West Bank. Israel should abide by U .N. Resolution 242, which means moving boundaries back to pre-June 1967 lines drawn after the war. And Jerusalem, the holy city, will unfortunately have to become the Berlin of the Middle East, divided among nationalities. Transcending any nationalisticviews, Jewish, Moslem and Christian religions will rest like a shroud upon any legal resolves. Israel hasbeen a stubborn client of the United States, an impetuous stepchild prone to armed and unwarrantedreprisals against its neighbors. Even after all the talk of protests and eye-for-an-eye killing in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem, it still comes down to this: At least Israel has a flag to wave. 7 know it'sonly rock 'n' roll' Players, fans game for music Feb. 18,1989 After a successful 1988- 89 basketballseason which saw record turnouts of fans and a District 1 championship for the women's team,controversy starts brewing over the loudness and type of music aired at men's and women's games.April 27,1989 Pressure from a handful of people forces the members of the athletic department to form acommittee to create a new set of rules concerning the music controversy. . The committee, whichdoesn't include any students, decides that Guns and Roses, Led Zeppelin, AC/ DC and other upbeatmusic enjoyed by many will be outlawed. The new music to be played at 1989-90 Viking basketballgames will include Lawrence Welk and Barry "I Write the Songs" Manilow. Nov. 16,1989 The new music format causes many students to lapse into comas by halftime while others who previously attendedbasketball games, stay home to watch reruns of Mr. Belvedere. Once known as the "Jungle," CarverGym gets it's new name, the "Morgue." Central coach, Dean Nicholson, sums it up best, "It's a biggeradvantage for visiting teams to play at Western than on their home court." Dec. 7,1989 In a sympathetic move President Mortimer lifts the ban on rock'n'roll music during halftime of a men's game againstNorthwest College. Unfortunately it's too late; Northwest gets it's lone victory of the year against thewinless Vikings 85-40. After the game, coach Brad Jackson, reflecting on the team's dismal season,blames the ban on rock 'n'rollmusic as a major factor to low student turnout, unenlhusiastic crowds anduninspired team play. Maybe the rock 'n'roll complain-ers should bring ear plugs to the game and putmore time into supporting Western students and athletics rather then bashing them. The musicplayed at basketball games not only creates more enthusiasm and energy but also helps Westerngain a tremendous advantage over their opposition. Start complaining about some serious issues likerising tuition costs or campus security and leave the music alone. Long live rock'n'roll. ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 14 - Page 11 ---------- The Western Front April 14,1989 11 Letters .Christians look at wrong lives Editor, Some interestingideas and questions on abortion from my "American Atheist" magazine, (December 1988): Mostabortions occur so early that the fetuses are scarcely recognizable. The idea that a human soulenters a human egg at conception is absurd; such eggs are like other body cells, each having agenetic blueprint of its owner. Only a fertilized egg has that of two. Is a tiny, developing fetus ofequal importance as the life of a teenage, unwed female, who was possibly molested by her Christianuncle, father or nephew? Who is going to pay for all these excess children? Should not poverty and anabundance of kids be taken into account? I have a few questions: "Why are Christians so concernedwith the unborn when they show so little concern for those already born? What is their real goal? Is it not to grab more power over the lives of women and over our society? What is a human being? Are wechildren of a god, and if so, where is the evidence? Scientifically we are a unique species of hairlessapes, akin to chimpanzees, yet nearly free of instinct. We are often victims of self-inflicted dogmasand of mindless conformity, yet we have the ability to think and to reason, if only we would do so. BillBokamper graduate, history Music offers boost to team Editor, I am writing in response to Mr. RichardB. Johnson's letter in the Front suggesting that rock music be deleted from Western basketball games.It is true that basketball is an athletic contest, but music does have its place in Carver Gym. The players, as well as the coaches, have expressed their pleasure at the advantage that the excitement andatmosphere of Advertise in The Western Front 676-3161 playing at Carver brings to the Vikings. Alarge part of this homecourt mystique is attributed to the music played during warmups and timeouts.This music helps our players feel "up" and lets visiting teams know how far from their home courts theyare. So in this respect, music contributes to the quality and outcome of Western basketball games.Admittedly, the music borders literally on being deafening. Maybe the DJs, if they're listening, couldslide the master volume switch down a notch or pipe the music to the student section only. Without rock music, part of "the usual excitement" will be gone.leav-ing the Big Blue without a large portion of theirhomecourt advantage. Paul L.

Western will accept students from Northwest IndianCollege who complete an associate of arts and science degree. Prior to Western's new policy,students from Northwest Indian College were required to complete degree requirements through What-im^ Hii^BBiii nally estimated at 8,305 but turned com Community College in order to qualify as transferstudents. Northwest Indian College was established in 1983 as Lummi Community College by theLummi Indian Business Council as a non-profit institution serving the Native American community.This policy encourages students to get a four-year degree and to do it at Western. "It shows good faith;Western believes the program and faculty warrant having this kind of relationship," said Vice PresidentSaundra Taylor. Northwest Indian College has worked for five years to attain accreditation, said CarlaJohnson, dean of Lummi Campus. "This is a big step for us ... with candidate status (for accreditation),other universities can agree to accept credits," Johnson said, adding that it creates a possible linkbetween Lummi people and Western. "Students feel more positive about getting into Western andFairhaven," she said. "The other system makes them (Native Americans) feel second-class," Taylorsaid. "The standards used to allow access to education for the majority were the same standards thatprevented access for minorities," Taylor said. The college provides a school of agriculture, hatcheryand harvest management programs, marine biology programs and includes classes that restoreAmerican Indian history, culture and language. The college can confer degrees and disburse financialaid. The policy allows the college to access Western's library services, career and placement office,and media services, Johnson said. Phone Continued from page 1 Tuna Continued from page 1Woolworth's opted to discontinue stocking yellowfin tuna after Fletcher provided information about thedolphin kill, said Ncrman Peterson, store manager. The store will sell its remaining tuna stock by theend of the month and will not order a replacement, Peterson said, adding, "It's not that big of a deal forus." The Bellingham Food Co-op, acting independently, removed major brands of yellowfin tuna fromits shelves more than a year ago and substituted a co-op brand, said merchandising manager BradSmith. "We currently stock a house brand that is only purchased from fleets that guarantee use of theback-down method of nettine." whir-.h dries not Fletcher kill dolphins, Smith said. Tuna sales at the co-op have increased since a substitute was found, despite the expense, he said. The house brandcurrently costs about $1.25 per can, compared with 70 cents for other brands. A protest petition insupport of the yellowfin tuna boycott garnered 200 signatures on campus last week. The society's nextgoal is a fundrais-ing campaign to purchase a $1,700 full-page informational ad in the Bellingham Herald, Fletcher said. Bernstrom said she believes the new system will streamline phone service becausethose with touch-tone phones can order service 24 hours per day, seven days a week. She added thattwo offered features of the first-in-the-nation project may include call forwarding, whereby subscribers can forward calls to another phone in case they are away from, their phone, and a direct call-back, wherebysubscribers immediately could call the company to find the cost of a particular phone call. "So if you'vejust let someone make a long-distance call on your phone, you wouldn't have to wait until you get yourbill to find out how much they owe you," she said. But what will this sleek, new system cost customers? "The service order fees have yet to be decided," Bernstrom said. She added the company hopes todecide by the summer and believes it may be lower than current hook-up charges, which are about $38. Bernstrom said Western was a major factor in the telephone company's choice of Bellinghambecause, along with the city's booming economy, thousands of students each year subscribe to theircompany for phone service. "We were looking for a town of workable size that had a large and steadyflow of hook-ups and disconnections, which will enable us to really test the system," she said. If theexperiment works, that is, if it streamlines the internal workings of U.S. West and its customers arehappy with it, the company will try another two-year test run in a larger city. If successful, the company plans eventually to put the system online in all of its 14 western states, Bernstrom said.

The campus was a riot of orange and white festoons, colored lights, music ^anH:;:;:merrimeht from eight till late. .^Fortune tellers, ghosts from realms of gloom, and champions of the purple sage attracted the pleasure seekers to their novel booths. The crowd was divided into four groups for game playing—Red, Blue, White and Orange. Bedaubed clowns acted as ringleaders and boosters for each of the divisions and a lively program of competition under the direction 6f Miss Long, was enacted. The faculty then participated in some tionest-to-gbodness square dances that were invented before King Syncopation began his reign. Punch was served, and ice cream sold during the regular dance which followed. The orchestra furnished the music. The lively program arid enthusiastic participation; made Campus Capers one of the most successful entertainments the Normal, has ever had. THURSDAY—August 28. Commencement in the auditorium, at 10:00 a. m, MONDAY-TUESDAY — September 2f and 30. Registration for Fall quarter. WEDNESDAY—October 1. Classes begin at 8:00 a. m. I. MCE PUBU NEW M I NG SCALE New Idea in Charts Worked Out by Normal Instructor. OUTLINES AIMS OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Irwin Explains Main Ideas; Students Interested. Mr. Irwin, instructor at the Normal for the summer quarter, gave a talk on Junior High Schools, August 20, in the assembly hall. A large group of students interested in the subject assembled at 3 o'clock to listen to the talk and discuss questions. Mr. Irwin brought out several important features concerning Junior High Schools. He said that Junior High Schools are not a recent movement but have been in existence for the past forty years. Further in his talk he brought out the fact that many schools under the name of Junior High School misrepresent the purpose of the schools. These schools have been created because of lack of room in the other schools, he said. The real Junior High School meets the need of early adolescence, keeps them interested and willing to work and gives them experience in general laboratory and shop work. Mr. Irwin believes that when properly organized the Junior High Schools will be one of the greatest factors in American education. For the last year Mr. W. J. Rice, author and publisher of the Rice System of Penmanship, who is also a member of the faculty, has been developing a new idea in a writing scale combined with a grading chart. In close cooperation with the department of education in the Belling-ham Normal and the University of Washington he has developed what is considered a most scientific plan of arriving at a proper grade for pupils in the sixth grade and above. The scale is just off, the press and will be on display for student inspection before the summer term closes, possibly by Tuesday, August 26. Pupil writing will be displayed in connection so students will have an opportunity to see the real workings of the scale. Through some oversight, the name of W. J. Rice was omitted from the list of faculty members who are coming back next year, in last week's Messenger. Mr. Eice will be back teaching penmanship next year, as usual. — o OF PAYS I f f Says Parents Need Training as Much as Teachers. Miss Frances Hayes, for sixteen years a member of the Normal faculty, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Geo. Ludwig of this city. While here she will spend a week's vacation at "The Cabin" on Lake Whatcom, so pleasurably remembered by so many of our Alumni. Miss Hayes is national field secretary of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. This summer she has given short courses in the P. T. A. work in the University of Missouri, Winthrdp College of South Carolina, and the University of Oregon. Thursday and Friday she addressed the local P. T. A. She will spend October in Wyoming, November in North Dakota, December in Montana, and the rest of the winter in the Southern States; FOR SHORT LAYOFF ffl '•00, Miss Cummins Will Jbnrney t d i l | ^| • New York.

The members of the quartet are John Spargur, Albany Ritchie, Hellier Collens, and George Kirchner, playing first violin, second violin, viola, and violincello, respectively. The program follows: Quartet, D Major—Opus 04 No. o..Haydn Allegro moderato Adagio cantabile Menuetto Finale Vivace By the Tarn Goosens Canzonetta, Mendelssohn Quartet—Three movements Grieg- Allegro Molto Romance Presto al Saltarello Campus Is Pasture For Thoroughbred Hobbies (Madge Boyer) i||'; We teach. We regard our chosen voca-1 might almost be called a High Horse, tion with great respect. If we are wise we have also an avocation, a hobby. Hobbies are'good for the soul. They may be serious, semi-serious, or "plumb foolish"; whatever the nature of them may be, they fill a need and perform a valuable service in giving relaxation and Tecreation. Hobbies on this campus? Are there? Yes, a whole stable of thoroughbreds. By way of proof, suppose we enumerate some. Pauline Hutchison lias a big, big scrap book. It is her hobby. In it she pastes occasionally a snapshot, a program, or a gum-wrapper to remind her of sundry memorable hikes, parties, or dances. She hasn't a monopoly in this field, however, as one glance at Gail Hinthorne's scrap-book will show. The Bonds all have the same hobby,— they smile. Have you ever seen a Bond not smiling? Lewis York's hobby is vocal. He specializes in sounds. He has acquired his collection of shrieks, squawks, and yelps, as well as fiendish laughter from the seagulls, the locomotive, and the noon whistles, and he lets them out at times when they are most effective, hair-raising and blood-clabbering Mary Hibner's hobby seems to be the Messenger. Gordon Broadbent shows a fondness for prize waltzes. Gary Costi-gan specializes in trousers; he possesses every known species of the bi-symmetri-cal garment. There is also Bill Lam-phere and his saxaphone (s). Some folks make a hobby of sitting on the front steps. Others have become proficient in the gentle art of falling up said front steps. Frances /Kirby has reached a state near perfection in the business of losing her glasses, her locker key, and her comb. Petronilla Fitzgerald is never seen without her copy of the International Book Review, possibly because the blue cover is becoming to her. Mrs. O'Hal-loran has developed an almost parental love for the works of George Eliot. Popular hobbies with the girls are hosiery, Rudolph Valentino, headbands, engegement rings, haircuts, and diaries. One man can tell you all you might ever wish to know about unexcused absences. Another is making a collection of pOwder puffs. And two or three there be who are authorities on the delicate subject of women.

Austin Bond, Guy Bond, and George Burlingame, beginning Friday, August 15. Leaving the Normal in the afternoon they motored to Shuksan, where they spent the night. Saturday morning the fishermen hiked up to the Lone Jack mine with the pack train. From the mine they hiked down the Little Selisia to where it joined the Big Selisia, arriving there at four o'clock in the afternoon. Camp was made and dinner soon cooked. After eating, the fishing tackle was brought forth and enough fish caught for supper. As it began to rain after supper shelter became imperative. The camp was moved under an enormous fir tree, where everything remained quite dry. The fishermen awoke early Sunday morning and had started seeking the finny natives of the Selisia by six-thirty. By noon the fish had quit biting for the day so the return hike to Bel-lingham was started.

Arrangements are being made by the Women's League to meet the new students at the beginning of th fall quarter) Committees are planning ways to help students get acquainted. During the first few days, the girls of the League will assist their 'sisters" in meeting the difficulties that confront a poor Freshie in the process of getting registered. Everything possible will be done to make the incoming students feel at home. Miss Jones will meet all Freshmen girls twice a week in a one credit course in social ethics, Sophomores may elect the course. The discussions will settle many questions for the girls The Indian Office, Department of the Interior, of the present administration, stresses education as the solution of the Indian problem. The department asked for increased appropriations for general education. An act was approved in June of this year which included an item of two million dollars, for the education of Indians; this is an increase of two hundred thousand five hundred dollars over last year. The educational program of the Indian Bureau recognizes the need for greater teaching efficiency. It now requires reading courses in teaching and the attendance of teachers in summer training schools. There are about eighty-one thousand Indian children eligible for enrollment in school: twenty-five thousand are in government schools and thirty-seven thousand in public and mission schools. About eighteen thousand Indian children of school age are without school facilities, of this number ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1924 August 25 - Page 3 ---------- S.~\:3pgs|Sj|^ ¥• WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Normal's Course Of Study Undergoes Big Change \ \ \ -4' / P *%^-- gt; ^^^S^g0IWm-^^^ '' NORMAL-BY-THE-SE A'' CLIMATE OF LOCAL HELPJOR NORMAL Ideal Location Proves Factor in Bringing Students. NEW BUILDINGS ARE PLANNED FOR FUTURE BAY AND MOUNTAINS LURE One of the outstanding reasons for the superiority of Bellinghani .Normal is the wonderful climate of tne .Northwest. This climate gives the student energy and iite to him becomes a thrilling adventure. He is filled with a desire to study, to play, and to get the best he can out of life. lie can lift up his eyes to the evergreen hills and snow-capped mountains, and know that they, literally, afford, protection to this location; he can look out on the blue waters of the bay and know that the warm Japanese current is doing the same. The balmy winds filled with ozone from the life giving qualities of these evergreens and the tang of the salt water of the ocean are delightfully invigorating. Bellingham not only has cool, delightful summers, but she has mild, pleasant winters. The evenly apportioned rain-tall contributes much toward making this an ideal climate. Electric storms are unfamiliar, thunder and lightning curiosities, and cyclones unknown. According to S. B.' Mayhew, U. S. weather observer, statistics covering 15 years, 1908-1922, are as follows: Average maximum temperature .. 50. Average minimum temperature.... 40.0 Average hottest day 84.8 Average annual snowfall (3 years no snowfall) inches 9.55 Average rainfall (inches) 31.9 The student who is not a native of this Northwest remembers how hot it was in the summer back home, and how cold in the winter; he remembers the havoc wrought by electric storms and cyclones, and because there are none of these unpleasant conditions here, this climate seems to him the climate of a veritable Garden of Eden.

A rearrangement of offices in this building wnl also have taken place. A larger athletic field is even now needed and the question to be decided is where to purchase the ground lor this purpose. Bebb and Gould, architects from Seattle are now working on the building plans which will be discussed later iii a conference with the President and Board of Trustees. If- the plans are approved by the Legislature, the building should begin in the near future. What the first new building will be has not yet been decided upon. . o INTELLIGENCE TEST FOUND VALUABLt Requirement Benefits Both the Student and Faculty. Can Embryo Teachers Ever forget Normal-By- The-Sea ? The intelligence test, the ''bugbear" of the .Normal student, has proved to be of great value to the student and instructor alike since Mr. Kolstad first inflicted it on students in 1919. Three tests have been given since then, the Army Alpha, the Otis Self Administering test, and the Thorndike test for high school graduates, which is still in use. A ruling was passed by the faculty requiring that a test of all who received a certificate. The Normal ranks high among the schools of the country as to Can you, oh students -j'ho are leaving Bellingham, ever think of it without seeing the bay sparkling, shimmering in the sunlight, gray and forboding 'neath the clouds ? Can you hear the name of the city without the "splash, splash," of angry waves, the uncanny sound of the fog horn, or the swish of waters on the sands coming to your ears? Will you forget the wondrous sight from Sunset when the big red sun turned the dull-blue and gray of sky and bay to gorgeous colors? As our own poet, Ella Higginson, says: •'Inspired of God were they who chose this place . Wherein to build these walls of softest rose, Whose every slender pane at sunset glows i gt;ike burnished gold and fires with mystic grace The wooded loveliness of Sehome hill." Bellingham had just the church you wanted to attend. The very kind of show you wanted to see was sure to be found. Did you swim, hike or row ? You took your choice. The book you needed most could be found in one of the public libraries. Your walks were brightened by flowers and trees. * * * * * Can you forget the Normal, where you sighed over note books and outside reading—the building, ivy covered—the campus—Sehome—the checkered roof of Baughman's on the corner?

PICTURE OF BEAUTY NEVER FORGOTTEN Beautiful Setting of the School Bound to Linger in Memory. the superiority of students enrolled. The chief uses of the test at first were to aid the scholarship committee in deciding whether the student was able to carry the work he was trying to enroll for and whether he was working to the full extent of his capacity. The comparison of their I. Q. and their class grade furnishes a check to the instructors. The tests have proved to be of benefit however, to the students in comparing what he is doing with what he is able to do. It shows him whether he is wasting time, either by not working or by attempting something too difficult for him to succeed in doing. o DID YOU KNOW?

Men of mettle are constantly on the lookout for new fields to conquer. Such a field exists in the Junior High School. Nowhere else is there a greater demand with so little competition. Comparatively few have been trained for this work, hence the vacancies. The most important requisite is a compre liension of the new philosophy of education which is rapidly replacing the old disciplinary system to meet the de- SCENIC VIEWS TAKEN NEAR BELLINGHAM, SHOWING BAKER, ISLAND IN LAKE WHATCOM, AND SOUND Situated on one oi tlie iuiest bays oi x'uget bound and surrounded by pine and snow-clad mountains, Bellingliam nas lew rivals tor variety and beauty oi surrounding scenery, xiie many lakes, streams and the bay, attract fisherman and swimmer; quiet nootcs along shady Highways invite the camper; the hiker dons his khaki and with a pack on his back and a song in his heart climbs up, up to the snow.

COURSES OF STUDY MAKE BIG FOR COMING YEAR Year of Continuous Work in World Literature Required NO MAJORS OR MINORS mands of modern society. The Normal course is being organized to meet the demand for Junior High School teachers as everywhere the elementary schools are being re-organized on this basis, which has ben retarded on account of the war. The great problem of the Junior High School is the adolescent boy. Experience has taught that no one is so fitted to solve this problem as a broad-minded, well trained, sympathetic man. The boy may look to such as one who understands the boys problems and perplexities through his own similar experiences. For this reason men are employed here more than in ordinary seventh and eighth grade higher salaries are offered. work and DID YOU KNOW? That California has 11 teachers' colleges, Washington 6, and Oregon 2? The courses of study for the coming year have been revised and changed considerably. In the new courses no majors and minors are required, but substituted for them are four prescribed curricula; namely, Primary, Intermediate, Rural and Grammar Grade. The work in each of these courses is specified except in the Grammar Grade course, where there are twenty-three elective credits. The new course of study has some attractive special features. A year of continuous work will be required of all freshmen in world literature; in intro-ducton to contemporary civilization, and in science. These lines will serve as a background to develop a philosophy of life. The Education department will build on a philosophy of education. Courses in Music and Art are also required, and for those specializing in intermediate and primary work Industrial Art is another requirement. Since the state law forbids commercial education to be taught in the Normal Schools, the work of the Commercial Department will be dropped. Typewriting, however, may be taken as an elective for one quarter. A one credit course in Social Ethics will be given by the Dean of Women. Standard in English Raised. Every entering student will be given a test covering the essentials in the mechanics of written English. This will include examination in punctuation, spelling and grammar. In addition to the entrance test the English Depart-ent reserves the right to pass judgment on the student's ability to write and speak English as revealed in class recitations and in written work handed to instructors in all departments. Students who are markedly deficient in the fundamentals of written and spoken English will be assigned to such courses as may best meet their needs.

ORCHESTRA IS PROMINENT The students of the Bellingham State Normal have been especially fortunate in hearing the best in music the past year. The Women's musical club of the city, the artists who appear in the assemblies, and the various musical organizations within the school have all contributed to the varied program that has entertained the student body. One of the most prominent organizations of the school is the orchestra, composed of twenty-five pieces, under the direction of Mr. John Roy Williams. This orchestra has played in assembly, and on various other occasions. The Hoys' (ilee Club, under Mr. Harrison Raymond, the girls' Clef Club, and the Quartet have also delighted the students at various times. An important performance was the "Elijah," an oratorio given by the entire choral club, during the summer session. Chautauqua Pleases. At the annual Chautauqua, students were given the opportunity of hearing De Koven's famous opera, '"Robin Hood,' played by a remarkable cast. The excellent music, beautiful costumes, and clever acting charmed those who saw it. The Ault Concert Artists, a baritone, tenor, soprano, and contralto, also appeared in the chautauqua program, and were heard with a great deal of pleasure. In the assemblies and evening programs, world-famous artists have appeared. Mischa Levitski, who is one of the world's greatest pianists, and has played with the Russian New York Symphony, will always be remembered by his audience. Marie Sundelius, who sang at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, charmed her audience with her rich contralto voice and delightful personality. The Tollefson Trio gave the first musical number of the year, October 20th. The trio is composed of a piano, violin, and cello. The school was fortunate in hearing the Kansas City Little Orchestra, composed of twenty-four artists, during their concert tour of the West. Others that have entertained the student body are Paul Althouse, baritone; the Armstrong Trio, violin, cello and piano; and Miss Florence V. Orr, contralto, of Seattle. Glee Clubs Visit School. The Glee Clubs from the various colleges and universities, and also the glee club chosen from employees of the Great Northern Railway company, gave programs here, during their annual tours of the state. During the summer quarter, many artists have been seured from the Cornish School in Seattle. This school ranks among the best in the United States in maintaining high standards, and is the only one of its kind in the Northwest. Maurice Le Plat, violinist, and John Hopper, pianist, captivated the audience to such an extent during their first appearance that they were secured again, in conjunction with Walter Nash, cel-iist, and Mrs. Walter Nash, accompanist. Eugene Field Musser, also of the Cornish School, gave a beautiful and interpretive rendition of the compositions of the old masters as well as some of the modern composers. Another outstanding musical event of the year was the appearance of the Spargur Quartette, the leading quartette of the Northwest, composed of John Spargur, leader and first violinist; Mr. Ritchie, second violinist; Mr. Col-leng, viola, and Mr. Kirchner, cello. o DID YOU KNOW? That the Horseshoe contests attracted thirty Normal girls to that manly sport? , j«|$ STUDENTS DO NOT NEGLECT SOCIAL LIFE Faculty Approval is Given of Supervised Dancing. The social life of the Normal is not neglected by the number of teas, recreation hours, and social events of all kinds and descriptions given during the year. The all student party at the Armory, with its splendid music, flowers, games and dancing will never be forgotten by those attending. "Campus Capers" and the brilliantly lighted campus, on the evening of August 15th was another event. The square dances, popular steps, fortune tellers, side shows and the punch table made an enjoyable impression not soon to be lost. Teas, dances, picnics, receptions and every other sort of social gathering have been had in quantity too numerous to permit of separate mention. In fact, looking back upon life as a Xoral student, it was not all work after all. Remember how each Wednesday and Friday, between four and five o'clock, classes were dismissed and the whole school enjoyed an hour of fun. Wednesday's recreation hour was devoted to playing enjoyable games and learning new ones on the campus or in the gymnasium. Friday's hour will long be remembered as the time of social dancing in the Gym. The faculty recognized the fact that dancing has come to stay and solved the problem in this school by encouraging it in the best forms under the best conditions. Pleasant memories will always cling about this hour associated so closely with Tiny's orchestra. rawspi fl(2)u ! lt;3 gt; * f c G-oA Old T gt; W»£t ~Tr»il TENNIS SLICKERS NEXT YEAR OFFERS CULTURAL PROGRAM Normal and Women's Club Combine to Secure Well Balanced Course. DRAMA AT NORMAL IS GREAT FEATURE Short Review of Year's Work Recalls Fine Talent. The coming year offers an entertaining and instructive program in music, lectures and drama. The Normal and the Women's Music club have combined to give Normal students a program of musical numbers which bids fair to surpass anything of its kind heard in this locality. The well balanced program will consist of seven numbers in all, a baritone, a pianist, a contralto, a coloratura soprano, a harpist, a string quartet, and a lyric tenor. Louis Graveure, world renowned baritone, will give the opening number, November 14. Mie-czyslaw Munz, sensational young Polish pianist, will appear December 12. February 10, Alberto Salvi, world's greatest concert harpist, will play. The Flon-zaley Quartet, for twenty years the supreme stringed instrument quartet in this country, will be presented April 16. Tito Schipa, premier lyric tenor of the Chicago Opera Company, will be heard May 7. Five prominent lecturers have been engaged to address students in the That drama takes a leading part in activities of the school is evident by the quality of the plays presented this year. Among those recalling the pleasantest memories are the three one-act plays, ••Riders to the Sea," "Three Pills in a Bottle," "Spreading the News"; and "Intimate Strangers," written by Booth Tarkington, and "Iebound," by Owen Davis. This summer the lovers of drama were fortunate in having several excellent productions offered them. Melcena La Follet Knettle, of Everett, was one of the entertainers. She rendered a one-act play, "Neighbors," by Zona Gale; "The Lights of a Hundred Cities," by Alfred Noyes; and a selection from Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." Many students took advantage of the Chautauqua as tickets are always offered at half price to students. This year it presented De Koven's comic opera "Robin Hood." Paula Ayers, contralto, taking the role of Alan a Dale. Lovely costumes, clever acting and excellent music, combined to make it the feature number of the entire program. Under the direction of Mr. Hoppe, the Drama Club presented one of the biggest events of the summer, Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." It was given early in August in the specially constructed "Greenwood Theater." The production was elaborate in detail and notable for the excellent talent enlisted and the careful work done. Those who participated in the production were members of the various classes in public speaking. SUCCESSFUL SPORTS SEASON REPORTED Boxing to Be Given Again Next School Year. Sports have proved popular this year with the men of the school, and the Normal reports a successful year in football, basketball, baseball, track tennis and horseshoe. Boxing was given for one quarter and will be given again next year. Clean sportsmanship is the only kind taught and encouraged at the Bellingham Normal. The Vikings won the Intra Normal football championship, taking three games and tying two. The basketball squad won eight games out of twelve, and scoring 370 points against 313 for the opponents. The track team took second place in the tri-Normal track meet losing first place to Cheney by a single point. The baseball season opened very successfully but did not prove as bright as expected, the Normal winning about half of the games played. Two full tennis tournaments have been held, and the star players showed up well. Qnite a number participated in the city tournament. The men's single tournament of the summer was a "round robin" affair, and a prize of a high grade tennis ball was offered to.anyone who could advance in position. A new form of sport was introduced when the horseshoe courts were established on the athletic field. months of October, December, January, February and March, respectively. The Moroni Olsen players who will be remembered for their excellent presentation last winter of Bernard Shaw's play "Candida," are scheduled to give three interesting plays during the coming year. The first, "Kempy," to be given in October, was described in the Theater Magazine as "one of the most enjoyable occasions that the end of the season has given us." "You and I," the second play won the Harvard prize in 1922. One critic says that this play lives in one's memory because it deals with a significant aspect of American life. It will be presented in January.

H. LEACH Manufacturing Jewttort 1334 Cornwall Ave. Look for Clock Near Postoffice Dr. Mehril Dewey was an educator long before he founded, in the Adrion-dacks, the Lake Placid Club thirty years ago. The object of this club is to salvage | intellectuals and to seek out potential geniuses. In short its plan is to establish a new center of education, a super-school. In the beginning this club was simple and extremely quixotic, but from that humble beginning it has expanded and grown until now with its carefully selected teachers and scholars an unhear-led school of geniuses has been created and maintained. Chartered by the State of New York, it has recently established an educational foundation of over $1,000,000. Dr. Dewey says, 'Most competent authorities now agree that the millenium can never be brought about by soldiers, police, or legislation. "We must make people prefer to live better and want the best influences and this can only be done by education. "Our greatest economic mistake is scrapping so many of the world's teachers before they have rendered their full service. The course of the world is shaped by its millionth man. "But this potential millionth man is often lost to the world because he has not been found and trained for his great possibilities. We propose to find these millionth men and women. Through them we can change the future of the world." EMINENT NOVELIST DIES IN ENGLAND Joseph Conrad, Lover of Sea Life, Has Two Careers. GASH PAID FOR BOOKS BRING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE We Will Take It If It Is Not Too Old, or in Too Poor Condition B A U'G H M A N 'S High at Cedar Joseph Conrad, a native of Poland, and one of the world's greatest authors, died Sunday, August 3, at his home in Bishopsborne, England. e was 67 years old and during this short span of life he had had two ca reers. He had seen active service in the merchant marine on the deep seas and he has scaled the peak of English novel-writing in his day. He never forgot the sea and from time to time he returned to it, even after he became an eminent novelist. He liked the sea life because there he had time to think during the long silences. He wrote, "the sight of human affairs deserves admiration and pity. They are worthy of respect too. And he is not insensible who pays them the undemonstrative tribute of a sigh which is not a sob and a smile which is not a grin." His stories are mostly of the sea. "Typhoon," "Nigger of Narcissus," and the "Mirror of the Sea" are some of his well known works. "The Eover" is one of his latest books and one of the worlds recent "Best Sellers." Creation, evolution, life, death. What is it? Who are we? Were we created definitely, purposefully a little lower than the angels or are we merely higher than the beasts ? Those who believe in divine creation have brought those with the evolution theory to a stop, a look, and a listen by presenting a few interesting facts relative to our heritage on the Normal bulletin board. Back of the theory of evolution stand many scientists and their works—arguments, assertions and proofs of our evolution from the original spark of life. On the other side stands the Bible and its champions uncompromising, positive that we are children of a definite, wonderful idea and lawful claimants to a birthright that no other animals possess. The' truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about our creation is what we want. The problem is to find it! Darwinians have proof, their adversaries have proof. Until that day shall come when it is proved beyond all doubt what the principle back of it all is we shall have to read and reason and realize to the best of our ability and according to our best judgment. By evolution, it is not necessarily meant that our hairy ancestors sat in trees uttering senseless gibberish and hurling cocoanuts at one another. It means that slowly, painfully our predecessors climbed upward from the first manifestation of life, assimilating, overcoming, eliminating, growing, varying, changing, adapting, until like an outworn skin our past handicaps, liabilities, and encumbrances were left behind and we emerged better creatures. Some of our fellow cratures because of diversions in their stages of development took different roads and by-paths and that is why they are where they are.

Thursday night at 6 o'clock the Rural Lifers journeyed out to Chuckanut Beach for their last meeting of the quarter. A big salmon bake added a treat to the lunch. The faculty members who were there were Miss Keeler, Mr. Heckman, and Miss Barton. Friends will be surprised to learn of the marriage of Miss Irene Squires to Mr. Gilbert Bonlie, Thursday, August 22. The couple were married at the home of the bride's parents in Seattle. INITIATIVE NUMBER 50. A measure which deserves the intensive study of every prospective teacher is Initiative Bill No. 50, dealing with the 40-rnill limit tax. It is of vital importance that every student understand the difference it will make in the school system of the state if .passed. By the terms of the proposed measure taxes on real estate which now average 71 mills would be limited to 40 mills. State taxes that are now from 12 to 17 mills, would be reduced to 5 mills. County taxes averaging from 8 to 30 mills would be limited to 10 mills. School district taxes ranging from 10 to 20 mills would be limited to 10 mills except by a special election. The election could not be held until a month after the school's budget had been prepared, however, and would need a three-fifths majority to pass. The city ^ ^ ^ ^ " ^ Bromk C°Td levy would be restricted to 15 mills. Seattle has a 26-mill levy at 1SS u n q u l s' present. Undoubtedly the land owners of the state need a reduction in taxes but are we willing to sacrifice our schools, temporarily at least, for the benefit of real estate ? —, o The College Club dinner dance at the Victoria Hotel, Saturday evening, was one of the most successful affairs of the summer season. Invitations were extended to twenty couples and to six patrons and patronesses. Sweet pea centerpieces adorned the three tables with blue and gold streamers, the club colors, adding to the attractive setting. Dancing was enjoyed by the young people throughout the evening. o Hetland and Mabel Mason of Edens Hall last week-end. o Dr. and Mrs. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport, their daughters Blanch and Virginia, and Miss Keeler were the guests of W. J. Rice on a week-end camping party on the island last week. The party was the reunion of a former party who camped together in the Mt Baker district two years ago. iiiniiiiiHiiiioimimiioiiiiiimioiiiiiiimiHii^ Student Opinion iiicajiiiiiiiiHicaiiiiiiiiiiiitaiiiiiiiiiiiiEaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiuiiiiiiiaiiiiniiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiHiEaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiicjiiiii* The editor assumes no responsibility for opinions expressed in this column.

If I had not written English I would never have written at all.'' He never learned English until he was 20; he never wrote until he was nearly 40. Meantime, he studied several languages before he decided that English was the most highly developed lof all languages and that through the English language he could find the words to express his ideas. 1 English is not only a highly developed language, but a growing language, and we shall make no mistake in acquiring a thorough knowledge of it. If a foreigner could, through diligent research, acquire such a command of it that his writings not only brought him wealth and fame, but also made the world richer, what ought not those do who speak it as their mother tongue ? o "WHITE AND BLUE." Many times throughout the school year we get requests for the school song. If the words could be thrown on the screen at the beginning of each assembly, for a few times in the first part of each quarter, everyone could get a chance to learn and sing it. Miss Esther Florence Carlson was married to Mr. Fred C. Schisler Saturday, August 16, in Matsqui, B. C. Miss Carlson is a last year June Grad- Miss Druse, faculty members; Miss Ida Sunquest, Miss Belinda Carlson and Mr. Clement Carlson, Normal students, were guests at the wedding. Mrs. Howard, her mother, Miss Car-ruth and Mr. Ward motored to Vancouver, B. C, Sunday. They enjoyed the trip through Stanley Park, and the sight seeing trip about the city even though the weather was anything but perfect. o Mrs. W. Bell entertained Dorothy Shipley, Miriam Morton, Thea Cooke and Ida Gallon at dinner, at her home Saturday evening. o Rossie Henry and Vivian Holcomb spent the week-end at their homes in Seattle and at the Missionary Confer-ene at Vashon Island. o No quarter at Edens Hall would be complete in any sense of the word without a fire drill. In view of this fact Bernice Pashley, the Fire Chief, at the hall rang the bell and out filed the girls into the cold evening air. This excitement happened Tuesday evening, August 19, when all the girls were diligently studying their lessons. o Austin Bond. Austin Bond got lost on the last Hannegan Pass trip. The Bonds took Miss Ethel Wilcox, of the class of 1918, visited the Normal recently. She has been teaching in Portland during | t l l e t r iP a g a i n l a s t week-end and this time to prevent any mishaps they had Austin carry the cooking utensils. The clinking of the tin served as a bell the last three years. Mrs. J. J. Little, of Sedro-Woolley. was the guest of the Misses Dagney and Austin's family kept track of him all the way up. illlllOiiiiiinillHIIIIIIIIIIIItimillllllllHIIIIIIHII^^ Inspiration Point fuuuiiMiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiuwimiiinuiiiiiiiiiiioim^ iiiniiuiiiiiiioiiiiii uiiimiiiiiiu IIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC]|IIIIIIIIIII[]IIIIIIIIIIIIE]IIIIIIIIIIII[]IIIII[IIIIII[]||IIIIIIIIII[] IIIIIIII[]IIII OIIIM With Other Schools uoiiiiiiiimu iicaiiitjjiiiiiicaniiii umiiiiiiiioii imuiiiiiiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiuiii loiiiiiiiiiiiuimiiiiiiiiniiiHiiiiiioiiiiH Alumni Day at the Central State Normal School of Pennsylvania, was the biggest day of its kind in years. Thirty-four classes were represented,, with nearly three hundred graduates. The day was started with a baseball game, between the class of 1904 and any comers. Then followed a program of stunts, staged in the athletic field, and finally the alumni banquet, attended by two hundred. Lastly the dance, in the attractively decorated gym, where the younger alumni gazed in wonder at the graduates of classes which seemed to them to be ancient history, doing the latest dance steps. The class of 1899 was the oldest class represented, but it was represented by only one member. month term. School supplies are another large article of expense, while strange to say, recreation is the smallest single item of expense. It ranges from fifty cents to fifty dollars per individual. A health crusade has been organized by the women of the University of Missouri. Three upper classwomen from each women's organization in the school have been appointed to watch the physical needs of the members of each organization. Regular hours simple diet, lots of sleep and exercise are required of all members. The establishment of a state bank on the campus of Vassar College is being considered. The bank would be convenient to all of the students, and would give those interested in banking an opportunity to obtain practical experience. o Thirty-eight per cent of the student body of the State Normal School at Minot, North Dakota, are on a self-supporting basis, earning their expenses while at school. Twenty-two per cent are on a partially self-supporting plan, making a total of sixty per cent who are either on a wliblly or partially self: supporting basis. Some find it possible to earn board only, while some earn iheir Hoard and room either by working in the honied of residents, or by doing some other' kind of work. . .

On account of the exceptionally dry summer, the plants are unusually healthy. The students have been haunting the peat bogs in the vicinity of the University, around Lake Washington, in order to find specimens to experiment upon. o Students in the Mathematics department of the State Normal School at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, have become very much interested in their mathematical work the last quarter. They have been having actual work in the field, and are mystefying the entire school with their talk about transoms, sights, levels, et. Most anyone taking the course can tell off-hand the height of a mountain, the length of a bridge, the width of a stream, etc. Other members of the student body are becoming interested in the , course, and wish to learn to interpret the obscure terms used by the initiated members of the class. TWO POEMS By Madge Boyer "Thots" was printed in a book of verse gotten out by the University of Missouri Students. THOTS I. Does the wind sow the trees And the violets and morninglories In even, measured rows? Does the music of the waves, Of the birds and of the happy little breezes Find itself imprisoned in the barred cage Of rhythm? So with my thots. Beautiful they are as blossoms; Happy too; Others sweetly sad and poignant; And some are good, and clean, and kind. And helpful. Silver-singing streams and rush of the mightj' falls; Pure scented air from mountain pines; A tiny cottage, all colorful inside, With red-blue fireglow; A book upon a table, A geranium, scarlet, challenging sadness, Yes, a bare, snow-covered branch against the pane; Dusk, full of soft whispering flakes. his duties. He doesn't belong at sea. He's too good for this life. A pale, slim kid like him should stay ashore I m x^ ° Card of Thanks. H. H. wishes to thank all the ladies and gentlemen for the interest and suggestions offered through the student opinion column. H. H. does not consider most of the accusations worthy of refutation but has a few further remarks to make. Please note that H. H. has not broken any of the rules regarding student opinion. Consider, please, that there is value and satisfaction in getting "a raise" out of a student body —at least it serves to concentrate general appreciation. Then also know that H. H. has good grounds for her opinions, which will gladly be furnished PPPPP

They do not have any football teams or basketball teams or baseball teams;' they do not have any school dances or campus social evenings. The university buildings are stripped of everything of value which the invader could take or destroy. There is very little laboratory equipment; books are scarce. The students live in small unheated and unlighted rooms; sometimes as many as twelve in a room. Their food ration is nine hundred calories a day—if they are lucky. Yet there are students—thousands of them. That is only part of what James Glasse told us at the assembly last week, when he spoke in behalf of the World Student Service Fund. He was talking about the universities in Europe, and he was talking from personal observation. On his recent trip to Europe he visited many of the universities on the continent, and everywhere he found that those conditions prevail. Why do young people go to school under these conditions? They are not encouraged by the colleges. Each student undertakes his studies on his own responsibility. The professors give lectures at stated times, but attendance at those lectures is voluntary. There is no registrar's office to whom the student must be responsible for absences. There are no tests to study for, until time for the degree—usually not until after at least.two years of study. Obviously those students are going to school because they want to learn. They are demonstrating the desire to learn by working for an education and going to school under conditions which offer them only severe physical discomfort and much mental frustration. They have the courage of their convictions and that spirit can have great influence on the world in the near future. These stuc'enfs are the future leaders of Europe, but they will lead only as well as they learn to lead. What kind of leaders those students become depends, to a large extent, upon how much truth they discover in .their search for knowledge. They need books, laboratory equipment, and the additional miscellany of the student; however, they need, equally as much, an adequate diet, adequate clothing, and adequate housing if they are to keep emotionally and mentally stable enough to want to find the truth. If we help supply them now with the necessities they need so critically, we may be doing more than helping a few individual students; we may be helping to create international understanding based on friendship and cooperation. We may be helping to build a responsible leadership in the world which will work toward peace among nations because the leaders will have both the knowledge and understanding of the essential truths which govern human relationships. The students of Europe are sincere, just as we are sincere, We have with them a common aim, a common purpose—to learn. If we can further strengthen those common ties, it could mean much to us both. As Seneca said: "The highest good is singleness of mind, for where agreement and unity are, there must the virtues be. It is the vices that are at war with one another." More Skiing During Winter Quarter For Schusskens No meeting of the Schussken club was held this week due to test exposure, but vigorous plans for winter quarter are in the program. Of nearly 140 members in the club only 40 were present at the last meeting, when the name Schussken was adopted. Rumors hint at discontent among absent Fleming Confirms Building Request According to a press announc-ment from Washington, D. C, WWC's application for one or more government owned buildings, to use as lecture buildings on the campus, has been approved. Dr. W. W. Haggard stated that the approval came from Major General Philip B. Fleming, Federal Works Administrator. Allocated to facilitate the enrollment of veterans, the new building will provide space for an estimated 1200 to 1500 students, 600 of whom are expected to be veterans. The present enrollment is 918 of whom 451 are veterans. Made some weeks ago, WWC's application was one of ten others submited from the Northwest to the Federal Works Administration. Of the ten, eight were from Washington state. Needed to replace school space which was turned over to the badly crowded science department, the additional building will be used largely for lecture classes. The date the new building will be acquired has not been determined. "We have our eye on a certain building—not just any building, but a certain one—at Paine Field," declared Dr. Haggard, "which we expect to get when it is vacated." members of the club concerning the name, so a new vote will be taken by ballot at the first meeting of the winter quarter. Plans for the coming quarter include a ski trip on either Saturday or Sunday of each weekend. These are one day excursions and will probably be alternated from Saturday to Sunday each week for convenience to those club members who work. Occasional over-night trips are also planned for the winter .quarter. Starting January 6 application blanks will be available to those who wish to become new members. It was explained that the money accumulated from the annual dues set at 50c will be spent for expenses of the adviser accompanying the club and other costs which may arise. Valuable instruction is offered non-skiers who may wish to join the club but are hesitating because of no experience. With the best part of the year left for skiing and Mt. Baker so close, the Schusskens are hoping to be the largest club in WWC by spring. . Most of the student body will be resting during the coming holidays but the ski fans will be waxing up the barrel staves for the first schuss down Mt. Baker's slopes after Christmas. ••.••••\£*t«!y* ':^m.' Valks Consider Second Tolo On Friday, January 10, Valkyrie is sponsoring a box social for the whole school. The social will be held in the Junior High Gym right after the college basketball game. Girls! Here's your chance to get that man of your dreams. Just fix enough lunch for two, put it in a box with your name and make the box as attractive as you can. The boxes will be auctioned off to the men and the prettiest boxes will go first. You spend the evening with the person who has chosen your box. Rosemory Smith is chairman of the affair and her committee is working to make this first social for winter quarter a big success. Quartet Entertains Packed Assembly In an interesting assembly enjoyed by many WWC students, "The Mis-sissippians", America's foremost ju-ilee singers presented an entertaining program Tuesday morning in the auditorium. The singers, who were formerly on the NBC network at San Francisco presented a colorful and varied program with American folk music as the main feature of the hour. Also given were southern renditions of verse, and a serious talk on Americanism, and to add a varied note to the program, a piano solo by a member of the quartet. ' Among the favorite folk songs which were presented are "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Old Mac- Donald Had a Farm." The piano solos were the player's own compo- , sition of "Boogie" and "Miniature Rhumba." Ski Shop Quotes Low Rent Rate Feel like skiing over the weekend? Well, just drop into the college- owned ski shop during your free time today and for the small sum of $1.75, a pair of skis, ski shoes, and a ski rack may be rented for a" week-end. A large supply of ski wax, scrapers, and wax kits are also on sale for students who desire to purchase them. The ski shop is located opposite the nurses' room on the ground floor of the school building. tAn assortment of new skis was recently purchased by the school, and Robin Hood, who is in charge of the rental ski shop, had them . rapidly assembled for the benefit of students of WWC. - Christmas Vocals Enrich Program WWC's music education department, presented a Christmas program, Friday, December 13, in the auditorium before a packed assem-. bly. The program consisted of numbers by the band, choir, women's ensomble, male quartet, and several vocal solos. All numbers won enthusiastic applause. The assembly opened with the brass ensemble of the concert band playing several Christmas carols. The concert band, conducted by Dr. D'Andrea, presented Goldman's arrangement of "Christmas Overture." A Cappella Choir, directed by Mr. Bernard Regier, sang "Today There Is Ringing" (Christiansen), a nd "Glory to God" (Bortniansky). The Women's Ensemble, directed by Miss Mira Booth, rendered editions of "Allelulia" (Mozart), and "Christmas Lullaby" (Warren-. The popular male quartet presented stirring renditions of "We Three Kings" (Hopkins), and "Allelulia, Christ Is Born" (Slovak Carol-. Several vocal solos highlighted the program. "Birthday of a King" (Neidlinger) was presented by Duane Lewis, accompanied by Barbara Mclnens, pianist. Mary Ann Teichroew sang "A Song of Mary" ( F i s c h e r - Krantz), and "Noel" (Louis), was rendered by Gertrude Johnson, with Berdell Smith accompanist. " The concert band ended the program with their arrangement of Irving Berlin's ever-popular "White Christmas". Campus Movie At the request of Russell Skid-more, the board of control will sponsor a motion picture portraying various phases of campus life. Don Packard, president of the board, will appoint an editing committee to work with Skidmore. Pictures have already been taken of the Homecoming activities.. Most of the other major events of the year will be pictured. "This film will be of interest to alumni and to high school groups interested in knowing more of the life in college," stated Dr lt; Alan Ross, faculty sponsor of the project. | ^T Dateline . . .

Budget Studied; Bids Planned Bids for WWC's new heating plant were submitted yesterday and at 2 o-'clock, special meeting of -the Board of Trustees. Lowest bidder on the general contract for the new heating plant and steam trench was the Hendrickson Construction Company of Seattle. Their bid amount to $147,200. Other bids for finishing the heating plant went to F. M. Haskell of Bellingham, $88,826, for pipe and wiring, and C. C. Moore of Seattle, approximately $54,000 for boilers and installations. According to Dr. W. W. Haggard, present plans call for the dismantling of the old heating plant, including the familiar, huge smokestack. The site of the present heating plant will become the central heat distributing unit. Tentative plans call for the erection of the new heating plant 1500 feet south of the campus hospital building. Total cost for the project amounts - to $330,000. Only $130,000 have been appropriated for the building's construction and installation to date. Next Monday ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 December 20 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College .of Education, Beltingbam, WasWngtpr. Friday, December 20, 1946 Slated Tlews 'ficm Houses Y. M. C. A. As the quarter quickly draws to a close, it's interesting to look back on the events of the past few months and have a smile on things gone by. There were the pinochle games and intellectual discussions which went into the wee-hours of the morning. There were the birthday parties, the steam filled "little room", and the "egg episode." (Somebody tried to make a n omelette out of Clark Brown). Then we could go on to name the little contests staged by Arnold (Plashlite) Turner, and the antics of Alf (Loverman) Courtney. We sure will miss Alf when he leaves after this quarter to take off for the "wild blue yonder". At this time I would like to thank J. Wendell Brown for his moral support and inspiration which went into the writing of this column. Also for our little chats in 226, and for the "Story of Rosie", which I haven't yet returned. To Bill Tullin goes gratitude on behalf of the club, for getting a treasurer's book and keeping track of our slightly negligible amounts. It was a long walk across the street to the drug store, wasn't it, Bill? It's so long to Doug Roberson who is also leaving us after this quarter. Drop in and say hello some time Doug. V V EDENS HALL A merry aura of festivity supersedes the gloom of final tests. as girls make intensive holiday plans. Neither flood nor famine, nor fear of flunks will stop us from getting home for Christmas. We sadly waved farewell to Marge Parsons, who terminated her college career with the quarters end. But she is well started on another career, running in last Saturday night to show us a beautiful engagement ring. From us to you, best wishes, Marge. Pat Temperley, who will hear the chime of wedding bells Sunday, was honored with a midnight shower last week. Among' the gifts were a potholder, a potato peeler, and a can opener, which should help her in her first lessons in meal preparation. As we stagger down the front steps, loaded with bags and bundles, may we wish you all a happy holiday season. V V DANIELS HALL Well troops this looks like the last column the old Chap will be writing for the house on 1020 High. Since moving to Daniels I have seen quite a few guys come and go and there is one noticeable thing about them all, they are all such a swell bunch of guys. I wish I could stay right on and keep writing for the old joint but even the best of us get hooked sometime and it seems as if that time has come for me. A person can't put his feelings into words when he is talking about a boarding house, but I can say it has been much more than that to me. it has been a home. Amber has treated me as nice as any mother could have treated me and I would like her to know that I appreciate it. This is no time for a song and dance, however, so let's get on with the news and just say a farewell to Daneils with a "So long Troops". SOUNDS PROM A TOPSIDE ROOM: Leroy Wade was appointed in charge of getting our Christmas tree for this year and he almost spent the holidays in jail over it. It seems they have nice looking trees right down town hanging on the lamp-posts and Wade tried to cop a sly on one . . . It looks as if Howard Thompson, Cot Rice, and Ted Holtzheimer ever want to get in the "W" club it will have to be as honorary members . . . One of the troops heard a little Edenite received a one hundred dollar check from home and he has been phoning her every half hour since . . . Hark we hear the Angels sing, or is that a band of Seniorites serenading the mighty Danieleers last Saturday night, or rather early Sunday morning . . . Amber likes this time of the year, but she says it is the time two things usually get fired, the furnace and football coaches . . . Cal says: "If food prices keep raising before long it may cost a man as much to eat as to drink." The House of Daniels wish you all "A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. V V HOSPICE INN It has been a full week for Hospice Inners. The highlight of the week, however, was the house banquet Tuesday night . . . and what a banquet! When the turkey was passed around the third time, even Herb Witt refused a helping. The next hour was spent in group singing and then we went out to repay the visits of carol-lers from other houses. Incidentally, Russ Skidmore can't hold the title of "Wolf of Hospice" any longer because it has now been passed on to Jack Francis. Who was so eager to see the Edens hall carollers Sunday morning that he pushed his arm through the window, sending showers of glass on the early morning singers. Jack and all the rest of us enjoyed the singing, girls. During the evening of the banquet, several members received some rather peculiar gifts. Prank Gayda got a book called "The Bobbsey Twins" and Boy Paylor received a game to sharpen his eyes for,those baseball tryouts soon. Don Brown, who is leaving the house next quarter, received a lovely tea set. (Two tin cups and saucers.) Other events on the Christmas Social Calendar for Hospice was a luncheon given by Mrs. Stearns on Wednesday for former house members and their wives. Have a good vacation everybody, and from the members of Hospice "A Merry Christmas." V V HARBORVIEW Christmas is truly a wonderful institution in spite of finals . . . at least that is the sentiment around this house. Last Sunday night we donned our best bib and tucker for She annual Harbor-view Christmas party. Amid the gala wrappings of the Christmas tree exchange was found a brand new shiny electric toaster for Mom and Pop Elwell . . . then we treked down to Elwell's apartment and found a beautifully decorated buffet table laden down with the co-operative efforts of the house . . . candy by Dot Wern-stedt, ice cream by Dolly, Margie and Corky, a luscious white layer cake by Colleen and Pauline L., punch by Barry, Pauline R., and Lynn, pop corn balls and Christmas cookies by Mrs. Elwell, and the finishing touch of nuts and mints by June and Virginia. V V SENIOR HALL McLane-Van Sinderen Wed Poetry Corner Against a background of bronze a n d white chrysanthemums t he Rev. John King- Mitchell u n i t ed Miss Jettie Mc- Lane a n d Sidney Van Sinderen. Jr., in a double ring-ceremony in t he c a n d 1 e - lit St. James Presbyterian Church. The bride, who is t h e daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Archie McLane, Kasilof, Alaska, was given in marriage by her brother, Stanley McLane. and Joan McLane was her sister's honor attendant. Best man for the groom who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Van Sinderen, Program Given By Musicians WWC's music department presented the Christmas assembly, featuring the College Concert Band, the choir, the vocal and brass ensembles and student soloists, Friday, December 13. For the past month the music department has been performing on various occasions. On December 12, the music department broadcasted over KVOS, presenting a Christmas program of music by the band, vocal ensemble, and a vocal soloist. The male quartet were presented at the Kiwanis meeting, December 10, where they furnished a complete musical Christmas program. Sunday, December 8, in the college library, the Christmas Vespers service was given for the public in the college library. The program included selections by the choir, vocal and brass ensemble, male quartet, and student soloists. A formal Christmas orchestration was given December 3, at the high school, by the city orchestra. A number of college students participated in the program. The music department deserves much credit for the entertainment they have given the college, schools and public during the quarter. Machemer-Cecil Betrothal Told Bride-elect is Miss Patricia Mach-emer whose engagement to Captain Walter M. Cecil, Jr., of Claypool, Arizona, was announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Machemer of this city. Captain Cecil serves with the USAAF, and Miss Machemer was a WAC flight traffic officer after leaving Western Washington College where she was a member of the WWCollegian staff. No date has been set for the ceremony. We've certainly had a very Christmasy week here at Senior Hall. We started the ball rolling with the decorating of our Christmas tree and the house Friday afternoon.

With this issue, Weary Willie warbles his last words into the columns of the Collegian sport page. In this weekly column we have tried to put into pleasing word expression the doings of your favorite sports figures . . . the Vikings of Western Washington College. Even though our prognastications weren't always right, still we always though they would be. We tried not to go stale reiterating the same words each issue, but when we did we knew you'd pardon us for our low vocabulary content. It is with a sad heart, and a happy conscience that we turn our page editor job over to Dick Burrell, wishing him all the luck in the world. He is a likeable, hard working lad who will always strive to please you. So with these final words we put our score book away. Our statistics are filed for posterity. We didn't, win much fame, but we hope we made lots of friends. RAIN IN FACE AT CAME , . . Big Chief-Rain-In Face got um son in college on lop of hill. Son, him name Drip On Pan.

In the old days WWC had some mighty nice women bowlers. Well, here I go back into my strait jacket; they are coming to take me away. See you around next quarter. EX-VIKINGS Two former Viking cage experts have made there presence known in the newly organized professional league shaping up in our fair city. The two lads who are making a bid for local fame by showing their ability in the art of basket tossing are Roy Wark and Sid Van Sinderen, a pair who have shown their wares for the Viks in inter-collegiate competition, and are now a vital cog in Captain Gale Bishop's fast stepping professionals. Playing before 1,300 excited fans at the senior high school gym, the Bellingham Fircrests won a well earned game, by defeating a crack Seattle Blue Devils club, 52-49, in a regular Pacific Coast Professional basketball league game, which saw Wark toss the decisive tally. Roy Wark clinched the game with a perfect one hand pitch which sounded like the shot heard 'round the world. Aided by some fancy play making by his former teammate. Van Sinderen, these Vikings, heroes of bygone seasons at the hill top school, spelled the difference between victory and defeat. A late comer to the Bellingham aggregation, a boy who also served the cause of the Viks well, is a fellow by the name of Cliff Gaffney. Gaffney, a speed merchant, quick thinker, and a good floor man was all that was needed to round out a smooth combination of former Viks; to be a decisive factor in the success of the local five in professional competition.

Les was picked by the football squad and will have his name engraved on the school traditional cup. During the past season Smitty has played close to sixty minutes of football every game. Always a bulwark on defense he has many times come up from his safety position to make tackles. Kicker and passer deluxe, he is equally dangerous on offense. Not far behind in the voting was Byron "sure-footed" Grubb. Byron was injured during the season but was still called on to. do the extra point kicking. Good luck to two swell players, and much success in your future football careers. A glance at the inspirational cup tells us that it includes the names of five players. They are: Ray Sul-kosky in 1935; Art Bagley in '34; Morris Tarte in '35; Leon Alpaugh in '36; Frank Chorvat in '38. Winning the award in 1941, the name of Norm Nelson has not yet been added to the cup. No awards were given between the years of 1942 and 1946. Cardinals Top Writers' Vote As a tribute to their come from behind fighting spirit, the St. Louis Cardinals, champions in the realm of baseball, have been named as the team of the year for 1946. The vote was taken from the Associated Press' annual poll of sports editors. The Cardinals succeeded Army's grand football squad, winners the last two seasons. Giving the Card's a mighty battle, for first place, was the valiant team from old Notre Dame. The Irish scoring 19 first place ballots to 24 for the Cardinals. Army with nine first-place votes wound up in third. A look-at the final point total; a compilation of the 62 participants in the poll, shows us that the Cards scored 110, Notre Dame 105. while ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 December 20 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday/December 20, 1946 nlacs facts... h rom dolly "Glory, glory and salvation, today's the day of our vacation!"

Last week you ran an article on the back page which was supposed to explain the ASB government in this school. It seems to me that the article did more slamming than explaining. Now that the male enrollment at WWCE exceeds that of the female, it is certainly time to provide for a 4-quarter man position on the Board of Control, but why not put this in a form of a petition rather than in a back page story? To have an efficient student government, we have to have an educated student body (who, incidentally, will turn out for elections) and as the school paper is apt to reach more of the students than any other single source, it should play a large part in this education. Perhaps you could eliminate some of the dead-wood on the back page, such as Sketches From the Screen, Points From Forgotten Pages, and that platter chatter that creeps in once in awhile, and run some explanatory articles on ASB's government. Board of Control does spend the money of all the students and the sooner all the students realize this. the sooner the student government will become a true organ of the members of this school. —J. H. V Dear Editor: In one weeks paper, under the title of "Letting Off Steam" was a .letter to the editor that demands an answer. This is not intended for an apology, but is instead an explanation of the existing date conditions viewed from the male side. Even though the war is over conditions are still rough for the veterans, who constitute the largest percentage of male enrollment, and sixty-five dollars per month doesn't allow many dates, even of the more economical variety.

An attack drove deep into An Loc and overran part of the airfield, but the South Vietnamesedefenders with the help of U.S. B52s and American Fighter bombers drove that attack off, inflicting heavylosses on the North Vietnamese. In a second attack force of 10,000 North Vietnamese swept back intothe town and heavy fighting was reported in the streets, though few details were available because of theconfusion there. With the onset of night U.S. planes and helicopter gunships lost much of theireffectiveness. Talks may resume PARIS-President Nixon privately told North Vietnam the United Stateswas willing to resume the suspended Paris talks but "the response was this mushrooming invasion" ofSouth Vietnam, chief American negotiator William J. Porter said yesterday. "We are not going tonegotiate at gunpoint," Porter said in a statement made at Paris' Orly airport. He was returning after twoweeks of consultations in Washington. Equal rights amendment tagged 'bad' SACRAMENTO-StateSenate leader James R. Mills has struck back at women's liberation groups trying to pressure him intovoting for ratification of the proposed federal equal rights amendment. "Anyone who tries to tell me to vote for a measure that would send my two small daughters off to war isn't going to get anywhere," Mills said. The San Diego Democrat voted against a ratification resolution when it was rejected recently by theSenate Rules Committee on a 2-2 vote. He contended "the problem is simply that of somebody hanginga good name on a bad piece of legislation." Carol Miller, an attorney active in women's rights movementsaid Mills' "attitude is a classical patriarchial attitude." The women's rights issue is still alive in thelegislature and a similar measure is to be considered Monday night by the Assembly JudiciaryCommittee. Abernathy to speak in Seattle SEATTLE-The Rev. Dr. Ralph Abernathy, president of theSouthern Christian Leadership Conference, will speak at a rally here at 7:30 p.m. April 20. Abernathy willvisit here to organize a Pacific Northwest chapter of the SCLC. The rally will be held at the First AfricanMethodist Episcopal Church. â€”compiled from United Press International Editor says Jeopardy issuemust be considered in context Jeopardy editor Tim Kyle s a i d Monday that the controversy regardingpossible pornography in the 1972 Jeopardy has resulted from people searching for "dirty parts" andtaking portions of the issue entirely out of context. Kyle said that the Jeopardy issue has been"assimilated as an aesthetic experience and must be considered in its entirety." The theme of the issueis man-woman encounter, and Kyle said that it should therefore explore all aspects of that theme. "Forthe most part, the ad hoc committee (appointed by Flora to study Jeopardy) didn't take the theme intoaccount." Tim Hoyt, chairman of the Student Publications Council, agreed that Jeopardy should beconsidered as a total experience a r o u n d the theme of man-woman encounter. "I read Jeopardy and in my opinion, the entire thing, taken in context, is a worthwhile literary experience," Hoyt said. ACLUchallenges state residency requirements The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is in the process offiling a suit that will challenge the requirements that establish residency requirements for voting and thedefinition of an out-of-state student. The ACLU feels that once a person is a registered voter his domicile is in that state- and that he should, be entitled to resident tuition rates. A recent U.S. Supreme Courtdecision against Tennessee found that a one-year residency requirement was unconstitutional. Thecourt further found that 30 days would be sufficient to establish residency. Washington, as well as most other states, has a one-year residency requirement before a person can register to vote. Senate Bill 240 of the Washington State Legislature made the residency requirement of one year for other thaneducational purposes. The ACLU is challenging the residency requirements as a class action and iscurrently looking for a sufficient number of plaintiffs to begin the suit. English faculty differs on Jeopardyquestion by SANDY ROUSE Most English department faculty members are taking a wait-and-seeattitude on the Jeopardy magazine controversy,- but one teacher said College President Charles J. Flora was "making a mountain out of a mole hill." Jeopardy, the student literary magazine which isscheduled to come out next month, has come under fire recently after it was brought to the attention ofFlora that some articles are of questionable taste and literary value. "Flora is making a mountain of amole hill, and he is s u r p r i s i n g l y gutless and completely misunderstanding of the functions of aneducational institution," George Garrigues, assistant professor of English, said. Garrigues said he hadnot seen the issue of Jeopardy in question. However, "faculty s h o u l d not be publicly c o n n e c t e d with student publications," he said. "When an advisor's name is shown on a magazine, it indicates tothe public that the advisor has looked over the copy before it was published, as in a high school." Hesaid that he doesn't think the English Department should withdraw its name from this issue because itwould appear to be "bowing to public pressure." Also, he said he doesn't think that the editor should beasked that the English department withdraw their name. What Flora wants, he continued, is aseparation between the student publication and the faculty. If he orders Art affirms cooperation withliterary magazine by KATHI SANDBOE Art department chairman David Marsh said in response toCollege President Charles J. F l o r a ' s queries concerning Jeopardy magazine that he has gone overthe art work in the magazine and saw nothing objectional in it. He said that he has no reservations inmaintaining the art department cooperation with the magazine. President Flora had requested that theEnglish and art departments reconsider whether they still wish their names to remain on the Jeopardymasthead. Flora made the request after an ad hoc committee reported that material in Jeopardy was inquestionable taste. Marsh said that right now he feels the main issue is that the a r t department made a commitment to Jeopardy and that "to pull out now would be wrong." He also said that the issue ofcensorship is secondary to the fulfillment of a commitment. Although the art department has little actual connection with the magazine, one art professor expressed concern over the issue of prior censorship of Jeopardy. "No student paper should be c e n s o r e d , " Robert Urso, assistant art professor and pastcontributor to Jeopardy, said. "I am totally against prior censorship." Urso said he feels that since themagazine is funded by the AS it is up to them to decide on the issue of censorship. Homer Weiner,another assistant art professor and past contributor to Jeopardy, said, "Jeopardy has been one of thebest things on campus." He said he has found nothing wrong with it in the past. The art work in the pasthas been fine, he said, and often it has contained very excellent literary and art work. "I think it is anexcellent college magazine," Weiner said. "There has never been material in the magazine which isharmful or embarrassing to the college." Expert finds Jeopardy legal by JACK BROOM "There is noclear danger" that the 1972 Jeopardy will violate any obscenity laws, was the opinion rendered Mondayby Ken Grosse of the office of the Washington State Attorney General. The legal opinion had been s ou g h t by the Student Publications Council, which determined that according to current studentpublications policy, no action could be taken to censor Jeopardy unless publishing it could result in legal action against the college. The council had been asked by College President Charles J. Flora to givetheir "thoughts and opinions" on the Jeopardy matter. Warned by Jeopardy advisors that the 1972 issue contains a story which might be considered offensive, Flora created an ad hoc committee to study theissue. The committee concluded that portions of the magazine were not of literarv value sufficient tojustify the expenditure of college funds. When the matter was then forwarded to the StudentPublications Council, council members felt that it was not their job to analyze the literary andeducational merit of student publications. "This council is in no position to judge the literary value of any publication," one council member said. "That's not our purpose, nor should it be." In light of the legalopinion not obtained, council members agreed to work this week and decide next Monday on aresponse to Flora on the entire Jeopardy controversy. them to take out this particular story, ''then hemay be committing an unconstitutional act as-a public official." Courts have held that a public officialusing prior censorship was engaging in an unconstitutional act and he can be enjoined from doing it.Garrigues referred to a case where a U.S. District Judge said that the state, "having fostered a campusnewspaper, may not impose arbitrary restrictions on the matter to be communicated." This caseinvolved an article written by Eldridge Cleaver. The president of the college cut off funds for the studentnewspaper because he said some of the material in the article was obscene. Later, he set up a facultyadvisory board to review material submitted to the paper. In the past, Eugene K. Garber, associateprofessor of English, said Jeopardy has not had a particular thematic focus-, but for this issue, Tim Kyle (editor of Jeopardy) asked for pictures, poems, graphics and stories that were related to the theme of aman-woman relationship. Garber said he had not seen all of the forthcoming issue of Jeopardy, butaccording to the description he had gotten from Tim Kyle concerning pictures, layout and papers, itsounded very interesting. In regard to this issue of Jeopardy, he added he clearly felt that there was one story which fell below the literary standards of the other selections. Lawrence Lee of the Englishdepartment said he doesn't think that most of the department has had a chance to read the currentissue of Jeopardy, except for the advisors. He said he hasn't seen it, and he doesn't know what it isabout. However, "I don't believe in censorship," he said. The legal issues should be separated.According to Merrill Lewis the question of censorship vs. the excellence or lack of excellence of thematerial. He said that he felt that if it is a student publication, it should be in the hands of the students."The relationship of the magazine to the department is ambiguous, because it is a student publication,but its success of failure effects the success of the creative writing program in the department," headded. English Lecturer Benita Tipton said that it should be possible for faculty members to serve in anadvisory capacity without having the responsibility of editorializing content. She felt that the departmentdid not. define or consider its support of the magazine as involving either censorship or approbation ofthe contents of any specific issue. "It's desirable to have a student literary publication," she said.However, "Anyone who writes should be prepared to be responsible for what he or she has written," sheadded. Robert McDonnell, chairman of the English department, said, "Jeopardy is a good periodical and enjoys a fine reputation across the country. In our present discussions of the 1972 issue of Jeopardy, itis clear that we must be guided by the Student Publication Policy." ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2.

Mark Morrow, Fall-editor of Klipsun and TimKyle, current editor of Jeopardy have both been attributed with editing two delightfully nasty publicationswhich apparently serve as titillating experiences to some segments of our community. ^ ^ â€” â€” . ^ ^ , IfI had only known what the public really wants, I would have laden my papers with four-letter functionalwords, erotic drawings and suggestive passages. Unfortunately, there is nothing sensuous in a dormiepainting his room, nothing blatantly erotic in a story of library construction and nothing worthy of aninvestigation for obscenity prompted by President Flora, in the fact that our faculty is underpaid. It seems as if some individuals have nothing better to do that leaf through our student publications page by page,pulling every four-letter word of remotely erotic connotation. It apparently makes no difference whether ornot the words in question have been taken completely out of context or if they add significantly to thearticle. What appears to matter is the fact that the words involved (words, by the way, which manyindividuals use in everyday language) connote either a bodily function or a portion of the human body. Inall due respect to those individuals responsible for drawing those "immoral and nasty" words to ourattention, it is inconceivable to me why words such as "war," "hate" and " k i l l " are not placed on the list of unacceptable words. If individuals have nothing better to do than center all their time and concern onwhat I consider to be pure art and literature, then our society is surely doomed. I would like to take thisopportunity to extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Morrow and Mr. Kyle. The publications inquestion are beautifully executed. They should both be considered as human responses, and this collegeshould show its pride in printing and distributing them. Art and literature, from all that I have gathered from my many courses taken at Western taught, may I add, by extremely intelligent, sensitive professors, is a true expression of individualism, serving to enlighten those who view and read it. If I were Morrow or Kyle, I would defend my authors' rights to that freedom of expression and beauty. I would not disregard theabsurd complaints, but I would remember that the words and pictures appearing in my publications are for appreciation, not desecration. The complaints voiced about the two magazines have only served toreinforce my basic premise that the only worthwhile aspect of life is creativity and individuality. My hat isoff to you, gentlemen. Listen to those who criticize, but do not unwillingly destroy that which is beautiful.As for those individuals who find dirt in art, read Ulysses by Joyce and Lolita by Nabokov. When you'rethrough, take a walk through the Louvre in Paris. You may just find enough dirty words and bare skin tokeep you busy the rest of your lives. Jackie Lawson Should equal rights mean equal draft? Tuesday'sBellingham Herald carried an editorial concerning the possibility of women being eligible for the draft if thefederal equal rights amendment is ratified into law. It was suggested that "the public ought to give somereal thought to whether this nation, as a matter of policy, wants to subject its young women to the draftand unrestricted military service." Women are as much a part of this country as men are, and this has.JFW k been the real issue of the women's liberation movement. Women want equality with men in jobsand elsewhere, and they should be prepared to accept the same responsibilities men do. I do notendorse the drafting of men or women, but if women get federally recognized equal rights, why should weturn the tables and begin reverse discrimination against men with an all-male draft? Perhaps men willcounter the action with a movement demanding equal rights in draft exemptions. It would appear that inthe Herald's opinion, it is acceptable to risk the lives of our young men in war, but women should beprotected from this horror. The question is not one of whether we want to "subject our young women to the draft," but rather one of whether we want to subject anyone to the draft especially through a policy of sex discrimination.

As in the past, several thousand reporters submitted their stories for a crack at the Rubber Chicken. This list was finally narrowed down to a few hundred, whichwere placed in a pile and a torch applied to the heap. The survivors remained in the contest. The historyof the Rubber Chicken Award is unclear and is thought to have started sometime in March 1942 when areporter filed a story the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. In any case, the award has a long and boringhistory and most reporters say "No comment" when asked about it. This year the award is dedicated tothe memory of Dilmar Freebody, a cub reporter who had to cover a state Elks convention and listen to 14Grand Exalted Rulers tell why they were proud to be Elks. Dilmar gave up his life for the people's right toknow and was. able to file his story before his heart gave out. In the "Questions I Never Asked" category,Zazu Whizz, society editor for the Daily Reader in Mount Vernon, took first place after she went throughan entire year without asking one woman what she thought about women's lib. Miss Whizz managed towrite countless stories on women loggers, truck drivers and jack hammer operators and never onceasked if they were doing it for the liberation movement. "It just slipped my mind," she said when shereceived her award. Next in line was Marvin Goulth for the "Well-turned Cliche" category. Goulth, whilecovering a shipping disaster for the Burlington Quarterly, somehow found and Used every journalisticcliche ever thought up by reporters on shipwrecks. His story included the fact a ship was limping back tothe harbor after it was engulfed in a ball of flame, during which time survivors said, "All hell broke loose"and "it looked like the end of the world." Goulth explained he had to twist some arms to get the "all hellbroke loose" and the "end of the world" quotes, but he took full credit for making up the line about theship limping back to harbor. "Isn't that what they mean by sea legs?" Goulth asked. In the feature writingdepartment, top honors went to Barney Beegood, feature writer for the Whatcom Herald. Beegood had the distinction of starting everyone of his feature stories in the same way, "Webster's dictionary defines "Whatever the story, Beegood rose to the challenge and was able to find some word to be defined byWebster which would set the mood of his story. A typical example of journalistic excellence concerned an 89-year-old man and Beegood started his story with this, "Webster's dictionary defines nasty as filthy,disgusting, offensive and repulsive, and 89-year-old Joe Doaks is all of this, if not more." Beegood iscurrently fighting a half-million dollar libel suit over his definitions. For the "Best Obituary" award therewas no question about giving it to Barney Beegood's brother Harvey, whoâ€”like his brother-started everyobituary the same way, "So long, it's been good to know ya." He sometimes put the wrong time and place of burial in the story so people could get to know each other. The "Nice Guy For A Mass Murderer"category was won by Fred Pitts writing for the Family News. Pitts was able to cover every mass murderstory in the country and find something nice to say about the mass murderer. He was also able to getquotes from neighbors expressing shock and dismay over the murderer's deeds. Some of his favoritequotes are, "He was such a nice boy. Why did he shoot all those people? . . . 1 remember when he usedto teach Sunday school and wanted to become a minister . . . . The boy was always good to his mother,never forgot her birthday He was such a good Scout leader before he shot his troop." A special award foroutstanding investigative reporting went to Seemore Wrap, who discovered taxpayers' money was beingmisspent. Just how Seemore never said in his 14-part series, but he insists that he knows the money isbeing thrown away "by highly placed government sources." Finally the coveted Rubber Chicken Award.This year it goes to Melvin Burpin, social event editor for the Lynden Dispatch, who covered a MooseLodge breakfast, a Chamber of Commerce brunch, two Local Residents of North Carolina conventions and a Kiwanis Club awards banquet all in the same day without throwing up, even though at each meal hewas served Southern fried chicken and wilted salad with three-day-old Thousand Island dressing on it.Burpin managed to crawl to his newsroom at the end of the day and turn out his stories before he wasrushed to the hospital to have his stomach pumped.. .. â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ ..;:; ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 14 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, April 14, 1972 Western Front Letters: Editor's note: Letters to the editor will be printed according to space available.

That snivelin' sidewinder ain't exactly a tireless crusader fer academic freedom, is he?Yers in Jeopardy, John Brockhaus Potwasher Fairhaven System will work if we fry Editor, WesternFront: Although I can appreciate the sacrifice of human effort which is required of you as editor of a.college newspaper and I realize that you have a difficult and rather thankless job, I cannot allow mysympathy to prevent me from taking exception to your page 2 editorial in the April 4 Western Front.Your suggestion that participation in the democratic process in America is a useless and futile effortshows an immature and somewhat naive outlook on the political realities c o n f r o n t i n g o p p r e s sed Americans. Let me assure you that I also am concerned. I too desire a change which will r e s t o r e America to the democratic ideals we were all taught to believe in grade school. Unlike you, however, Icannot believe that democracy will succeed where those who are governed refuse to participate in theprocess of choosing who will do the governing. Few rational people would disagree that politics inAmerica is confusing or maybe even incomprehensible. WHAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE?? A poorsystem that can work is more acceptable in my mind that a "good" system that doesn't. I have beenactive in the McGovern campaign for two years, and two years ago they told us we were dreaming tobelieve that George McGovern would ever be considered as a possible candidate for President of theUnited States. Numbers of us have quietly and quite properly set about to prove our point, that through lo g i c a l effort and hard disciplined work we CAN influence American politics. And though McGovernmay not win the nomination, I am convinced that if fewer people would cop out on their civicresponsibilities it would be possible to elect politicians who WOULD serve the interests of the people.The greatest foe of anti-democratic forces is an active and involved citizenry. I have worked within thesystem for two years and I am convinced that it will work if enough people will realize that nobody willprotect their interests but themselves. I speak from the experience of two years of hard work and I saythe system CAN work. WHAT ARE YOUR CREDENTIALS AND W H A T IS Y O UR ALTERNATIVE? ' What we students have done before in politics has not worked. In over six years of campus activisminvolving mass marches, demonstrations and r i o t s what have we accomplished? The shortcuts oftrying to yell our opinions into political reality have not and will not work. Or is the memory of Kent Stateand Jackson already erased from your mind? The system is now committed to a change which theoverwhelming majority of citizens realize must take place. I think after the Chicago police riot of 1968 the die was cast. Change is going to take place either by violence or by compromise, and even theoppressors know this now. It makes sense that they would prefer compromise. But we will only get what we work for. Yelling doesn't work, it only gets people arrested or shot. And failure to participate because it requires work and discipline is nothing but a cop out. Stuart Hansen Huxley College Turn in a pusher a bummer Editor, Western Front; The implementation of the TIP program is a bummer. F i r s t , theconcept of rewarding one citizen to implicate another was a t e c h n i q u e used by the communistsduring the Korean War to control American prisoners, and it worked extremely well with quite far-reaching effects. It is already used in a modified form to apprehend "political prisoners" for irrelevantcrimes they were encouraged and persuaded to commit. Second, what crime is it to use drugs? Theuse of damaging drugs of some types is not only lawful, but encouraged. Certain cultures arecharacterized by the recreations they employ. If these recreations include the use of a particular drug, is that reason to outlaw that drug? Nixon and Evans say that action must be taken to stop the traffic indrugs, that drugs pose a danger to people and property. Nonsense. Obviously some people perpetratecrimes to finance their habit, so punish them as lawbreakers for these crimes, not because they use adrug. The alcoholic that shoplifts to finance his habit has never threatened the public's attitude towardthe use of alcohol. What's so different about heroin? John Sherman Technology Faculty blamed forrising GPA Editor, Western Front: Your recent article on the rising grade point average at Western wasdisappointing in that none of the experts interviewed pointed to what I believe to be the true source ofGPA inflation: A lack of faculty incentives to keep grades down. Unfortunately, the incentives to increase grades are numerous and almost irresistible: popularity polls posing as "teaching evaluations" whichmight better be termed teaching devaluations and which tenure and promotions committees seem toregard as indispensable, administrative worries over maintaining enrollment, students entreatingprofessors with tales of woe and misfortune, other students doing their best to make good their claimthat grades are meaningless, etc. â€¢ To stem this tide of rising GPA, I propose that Western institutea novel program of faculty awards to be presented annually to those courageous t e a c h e r s who, with no forethought of self, tenure or promotion, â€¢do 'Steadfastly and vigorously combat GPA growth.Such awards might include the following: The Ebenezer Scrooge Award to be presented to that skinflintprofessor most miserly with his A's and B's. The Hardest Hear Award for the teacher who unflinchinglyflunks the most students. The Great Expectations Award for the instructor who expects a student towork himself to exhaustion for an honorable grade. The Reductio ad Absurdum Award for the professorwhose quick mind and glib tongue enable him to talk the most aggressive, determined, dramatic andpersuasive students out of their arguments that they deserve a higher grade. The Squarest of the Square Award to be given to that individual who is so uncool, so ungroovy, so out of fashion in his dress,mannerisms and speech that students cannot possibly identify with him nor regard him as a friend or pal and thus are forced to treat him as a teacher and learn something. If this innovative awards program isadopted, I feel confident that the Western GPA's ungainly rise will be arrested and that the eyes of theworld will witness the dawning of a new age of academic excellence at Western. Robert QuigleyAssistant Professor of Physics Editor accused of copping out Editor, Western Front; I am disgusted bythe position taken by you in your past two editorials in the Front. While I do not argue with youranalysis of the American political system, I feel that your conclusion about what a person should do inresponse to it is as untenable as the system that you decry. Your basic fault, one which you share witha great many cynics, is that after analyzing a problem, you refuse to seek a solution. Your attitude that"since I don't like the system I won't participate in it" smacks of the old "take my ball and go home"mentality of our younger days. You maintain that you feel a "moral responsibility to every other humanbeing." That being the case, then I submit that you must become involved in the political pig pen. Aseditor of the Front you have tremendous power to communicate with people. In your position, you canplay an important role in demonstrating just how Corrupt the system really is. If you fail to do thishowever, you are violating your own ethical principles. If you allow this political system which in yourterms is "inequitable and undemocratic" to continue running the lives of millions of people, you are asresponsible as the politicians for the results. I realize that the idea of getting into the political arena maybe a repulsive one, but if you want to clean a stable, you have to get some shit on your boots.

Under theconstitution of the All-College Senate, the Graduate Council now falls under the purview of the recently-appointed ACC, "charged with a u t h o r i t y over all matters relating to curriculum, teaching, load,academic programs and the like (Statute 4.4 of the constitution)." The membership of the GraduateCouncil, including nine faculty members and three students, is now appointed by the ACC, with nochanges planned this year. The Graduate Council also reports its decisions to the ACC, with "impliedconsent" of the higher body "unless or until ACC chooses to review them." In a recent memo, ProvostFrederick Sargent II, the chairman of ACC, wrote: "ACC interprets this charge to mean that it shouldfunction as a coordinating body primarily involving - itself in inter-agency problems but not in intra-agency decisions except as they might have more general implications." In the meantime J. Alan Ross, deanof the graduate school, and other people i n v o l v e d , capsulized the responsibilities of the GraduateCouncil, as Sargent requested. The Graduate Council: â€”Adopts regulations for admission of applicants to the Graduate School. â€” Adopts standards and regulations for advancement of s t u d e n t sthrough graduate programs and for the awarding of all graduate degrees granted by Western. -Coordinates the approval processes for new graduate programs and concentrations proposed bydepartments, interdisciplinary committees, or colleges of Western, and periodic review of existingprograms. â€”Approves all courses for inclusion in graduate programs. â€”Recommends students for the awarding of graduate degrees on behalf of the faculty. -Approves for employment as graduate assistants in accordance with adopted standards. - I n discharge of above keeps graduate bulletin in continuingrevision for periodic publication. -Hears petitions with respect to variations from adopted standards.Western's lake property open Western's Lakewood property on Lake Whatcom is open from noon until 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

A fee of S1,000 will cover expenses fortravel, lodging, meals and tuition. Currently about 35 persons, including three Huxley College staffmembers, are registered for the six-week conference. Up to 10 credits can be earned by students, whowill be studying, on the average, four to five hours daily, except weekends. The trip will consist of twoweeks in Stockholm and four weeks in central Europe. In Stockholm, students will meet withrepresentatives and scientists from other countries. Each government will present a progress report ofenvironmental research and development. Meetings will be held with political representatives to discussthe international aspects of environmental quality and control. Following the conference, the tour willproceed to central Europe. The first stop is Prague, where various options will be offered to encompassall interests. Activities in Prague include a visit to Most, where intensive industrialization leaves drasticimpressions and meetings with political leaders to discuss the laws and regulations that play a majorpart of the area's development. From there, the delegates will go to Bratislava, where they will take asteamer down the Danube River to Vienna, Austria, and then will go to Geneva, Switzerland. In Geneva,observations will be made of the Rhine River headwaters as compared to the more industrialized areas of Bonn and Cologne. Four to five days will be spent in rural Germany, including Dusseldorf. Following astop in The H a g u e , Netherlands, the delegation will go to Brussels, where NATO and the EuropeanCommon Market headquarters will be visited. The final stop of the trip will be London, where government agencies and various news media, such as Associated Press and United Press International,headquarters will be studied.

The organization consequently signed aconsent , order with the attorney general's office which explains in detail what "Dare to be Great" isrequired to do in Washington, according to the laws of the state. The organization also returned about$325,000 .to people who invested and subsequently complained to the attorney general. If "Dare to beGreat" doesn't uphold the directives put forth in the consent order at any time, Wexler said that his office is prepared to begin contempt of court proceedings. "Dare to be Great" has several direct salescompanies operating under it, such as Kos-cot cosmetics (Cot stands for communities of tomorrow),which involves door-to-door selling. Members may also invest in these companies, selling the variousproducts door-to-door. On May 1, a new state law goes into effect which prohibits c h a i n distributorsfrom operating in Washington. This could affect "Dare to be Great," Wexler noted, as it may comeunder the classification of chain distributorships. "Dare to be Great" began four and a half years ago inOrlando, Fla. Glenn W. Turner, a man who rose from poverty to millions, began the organization. Thebasis for the organization is believing in oneself and one's ability to influence others; A person mayinvest from $300 to $500, at four different adventure levels. He then receives 12 tapes with variousmotivation topics, such as "possibilities," which comprise the main body of the motivation training. After listening to the tapes, the investor recruits other people who can also be taught to believe in themselves and receives cash benefits as a result of the other people's investment. The new person invests atwhichever level he chooses for the course and recruits other people for investment also, thus receivinghis cash. Adventure level one invests $300, with $100 return for each new member brought into theorganization; level two is $700, with $300 return; level three is $2000, with $900 return and level four is$5000, with $2000 return. Members are encouraged to invest at adventure level four. There is not limit to the amount of money a member can make through the "program." Brian Morris, junior VICOED majorfrom Bellingham, was one of about 300 people who. went to Yakima Easter weekend for a "Dare to beGreat" presentation. He had heard about it from a friend already in the "program" and was curious. -People from Oregon, Idaho and Washington came to a Yakima hotel where two days of free lodgingsand meals were provided by the organization, he said. Yakima is one of the o r g a n i z a t i o n ' s "go-to-er" centers. The a t m o s p h e r e was comradely and accentuated the positive aspect in everything, Morris said. Discussion centered around the "program." The logic behind joining "Dare to be Great" isthat people can do anything they want and be as successful as they want, if they put their minds to itby positive thinking. Money is one of the areas where people can be successful, he was told.Impossible, if or can't weren't allowed to be said, Morris noted. Typifying people's spirit M o r r i s saidwere such statements as: "Don't think of the one hundred ways it won't work, think of the one way itwill." "Show me a man with average intelligence and above average desire and I'll show you a man whocan change the world." "Money is secondary. We're here to get people to believe in themselves."Speakers emphasized God, family, success, country and p o s i t i v e thinking while de-emphasizingeducation, Morris said. Members were encouraged to follow their impulses in making snap decisions. " I t ' s purely emotional. Someone is up front clapping and yelling. It's scary," Morris said. Caught up inthe enthusiasm, he committed himself to membership. "Soon your ego is so big you're saying 'I guess I am great,' " he said. He has since changed his mind, deciding someone would get hurt in the processof moneymaking. One of the Bellingham sponsors disagreed with him, saying that if anyone failed, itwas the person's own fault for not thinking positively. The sponsor believed, that "Dare to be Great"offered everyone the . same chance to make money and explained that the organization wanted asmany people as possible to enjoy success. Morris said the organization could work but disliked theidea. "They're the slickest people I ever saw," he said. Storm baptizes would-be Vikings by DANBENCKENDORF Not exactly in the tradition of Thor Heyerdahl, three students from Western, lastChristmas vacation, skippered t h e i r 1937 double-ended pleasure craft through Puget Sound and upthe Washington coast to Bellingham amidst some of the foulest weather that winter offers. SteveClancy, a junior in music from Bremerton, Jim T h o m p s o n , a junior in technology from Bremertonand Tom Price, a senior in technology from Gig Harbor, shared what was for Clancy the time when "Ithought that this may have been it for me." Clancy and Thompson, while shopping for a boat to live onlast Thanksgiving vacation, found the "Rosanna" in Olympia. The boat was high and dry on a cradle while work was being done on the prop gear. "It was big and ravaged, but we wanted it," Clancy remembered. The $100 down payment on the "Rosanna" bought them one sorely-neglected sturdy craft, a deadlineof December 31 for the b o a t ' s launching, countless weekends of travel between Bellingham andOlympia, 16-hour work sessions in the rain and wind and sleeping in the cabin of the "Rosanna" with no heat. "We had discovered that the engine had some water in the crankcase, so we ordered anotherengine believing that the one we had was shot," admitted Clancy. The new engine arrived in time tomeet the deadline but it was the wrong engine. Out of desperation, the crew pieced the old enginetogether. Clancy missed the launching because he had to come back to Bellingham for a five-minuteunemployment appointment. A 1937 pleasure craft "Rosanna. voyage up the Washington CoastThompson and Clancy slept in the boat the night before, they got underway. They discovered that the"Rosanna" "leaked like crazy, because the wood had shrunk due to being dry-docked for a long time."Tom Price, a long-time friend, was called on to pilot the boat because of his sailing experience which hegained on his 37-foot ketch. So, complete with "charts and doughnuts," they set out for Bremerton. Allwent well for the "Rosanna" for two and a half hours until the engine died from debris in the fuel tankgetting into it. After the engine was revived, they headed for the Tacoma Narrows bridge. "With asoutherly wind and a three-foot following sea, we were getting batted around pretty bad," Clancy said. "Iwas holding onto the boat and beating on the fuel filter to keep it cleared when a two by six-foot planksplit and tore out the ," owned by two Western technology to Bellingham. steering gear." During thestruggle to stay afloat, Price had to be lashed to the Rosanna's tiller in order to remain in the boat andsteer, while the rest of the crew manned the pumps. "We made it, but we noticed that a 45-foot cruiserdecided to turn back due to the rough water we had passed," boasted Clancy. It was those types ofthings that got the crew "up" for the rest of the cruise. After they had f i x e d the steering and hitch-hiked into Gray's Harbor for oil, they enjoyed an uneventful trip to Bremerton. They tried to leave the next day from Bremerton but found that the predicted weather was quite the opposite of "fair." The"Rosanna" remained in Bremerton for a week and a half until Price got them all out of bed in Bellinghamto return to Bremerton for the last and longest leg of the voyage. So, on a Thursday they struck out forstudents, recently completed a Photo by Dan Benckendorf sea once more. With their walky-talky, which has a range of a couple of miles, they encountered a snow storm. With limited vision and some fairskill, they made it through a n e a r m o t i o n - p i c t u re proportioned plot when, half way toBellingham, they stalled, evidently out of fuel. They anchored themselves alongside a. shipping channeltrying not to pose a hazard to commerce. They were nearly hit by a tug towing logs and then by a shipheading for Alaska carrying explosives. The latter ship towed them back to La Conner where theydiscovered that the engine had not started in the channel because it did not "want to start." Finally, they tied the "Rosanna" in Chuckanut Bay and, having to once more attend class, they elected to ride intoBellingham. As for the "Rosanna," she is now here and well. Clancy and Thompson, however, have justfound a new apartment. He had a Hon $12,000 appropriated for library art by thechicken OAKLAND,Calif. UPI-A game warden whose jacket was shredded by a mountain lion has been reimbursed $36 forhis loss. Jon N. Jones was holding the lion while a picture was being taken when the animal becomeexcited over a passing chicken. A supervisor told the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, whichapproved payment of the money to Jones, that "in the future, they are not to hold mountain lions to have their pictures taken." Jones received some minor scratches in the incident and the chicken escapedunharmed. by STEPHANIE SMITH Western has commissioned artists to design art work valued atapproximately $12,000 in connection with the Wilson Library addition. Two major sculptures, eachvalued at $5,000, and several smaller works, combine for the total. The acquisition of art is standardprocedure and is included in the original budget cost of most state and federal building projects,particularly those on college campuses. The $12,000 figure is less than one per cent of the originalbudgeted cost of the library' addition. Suggestions for the art were approved by the Board of T r u s t e e s u p o n the recommendation of Fred Bassetti, architect for the library project, and approval of abuilding committee composed of the library director, art department chairman and several other collegeofficials. F r e d B a s s e t t i was commissioned to construct a regular 3 8-facet sculpture of bronze,suspended in cedar for $5,000. Each of the facets will display one of the 26 letters of the alphabet, theten digits and the signs for pi and infinity. It will be placed near the south entrance of the library close to Haggard Hall. It was designed to be complimentary to the Niguchi sculpture, but with a different themeand materials. Richard Beyer received a $5,000 commission for a stone sculpture to be placed near thenorth end of the library. It is to be made of granite. From one side it will look like a smooth solid sphere,while from another side an animal head could be seen symbolically guarding the entrance. RichardLibbey, an. art student at Western, is in charge of coordinating student interest so that art worksdeemed appropriate for the library are submitted to the building committee for review.

Photo by Jim ThomsonInjured9 Western students aid in city-wide alert Western students recently got a chance to see whatmight h a p p e n in a city-wide emergency. Last Monday Bellingham held its first all-city disaster drill.The city contacted the Information Volunteer Center for accident victims for the drill. About 10 peopleanswered the article which appeared in the Western Front about the need for victims. ACLU here torecruit and inform The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a,t Western to recruit student membersand disseminate information about civil liberties activities. An ACLU representative will be in the VikingUnion foyer every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with information. The ACLU was formed to"protect the rights to freedom of expression, inquiry, privacy, due process of law and equal protectionbefore the law." ACLU efforts are focused on protecting liberty in Congress and state and local legislative bodies. In addition the administrative proceedings â€¢ of such public agencies as draft boards, welfared e p a r t m e n t s and. various licensing agencies are the scene of much ACLU work. The ACLU iswelcoming additional members. To contact the Whatcom County chapter, call 734-8022! During thedrill, the victims were tagged as to what extent they had been injured. Injuries ranged from broken bonesand simple lacerations to massive internal injuries and skull fractures. The accident volunteers weretaken by ambulance to St. Luke's Hospital to be "treated." Emergency operating teams were ready andwaiting to admit the disaster victims to the hospital. B. J. Griffths, sophomore, was a participant in thedrill. She works at the Bellingham Cooperative School, and took four boys, ages 7-9, with her asadditional victims. "We were handled calmly and effectively," Griffiths said. "They worked surprisinglyquickly. It's hard to imagine that they could have the hospital ready for so many people in such short atime, but they did. It was all very professional. I'm proud of our folks." Her students' pseudo injuriesincluded facial lacerations, broken legs, chest injuries and burn's. It was lots of fun and worthwhile forthe children, Griffiths said. It was an unusual chance for those involved to see how a hospital works, andquite an experience to ride in an ambulance. Could have danced all night but . by ALICECOLLINGWOOD and HOWARD SCOTT "If we come to Bellingham, w e ' l l travel anywhere," mountainfolk artist Mike Seeger said over a plate of roast beef hash Wednesday night. Seeger and 70-year-oldbanjo-picking, blues singer Roscoe Holcomb has just completed a concert and impromptu square dance in the Viking Union Lounge. Stopping in downtown Bellingham for a late dinner before driving to Seattlefor a concert the next night, Seeger and Holcomb talked to Western Front reporters. With a six-footplaid muffler wrapped around his neck, Seeger bemoaned the problems of booking his own tour, such as 40 letters and $120 a month phone bills. "However, once I start the actual traveling, I just relax andenjoy the people," he said. Holcomb and Seeger are currently on tour of western states ranging fromOklahoma to California. In San Diego, Holcomb will participate in San Diego State College's annual folkfestival. "San Diego," Seeger said, "that's where I once took fifth place in a national bicycle race."Seeger was brought up in the mountain folk style. When he first started entertaining, he emulated hisbrother Pete's more "songleader, activist" style, but said he didn't feel comfortable with it. He said thatwhile serving in a state hospital as a conscientious objector during the Korean War, he got to know a lotof country people and found he liked their style of music better than his brother's. "My style seems tohold to a lot of levels." Wincing at the piped-in music in the restaurant, Seeger asked a waitress toplease turn it down. "We have no control over it here," she replied. "Most people ask to have it turnedup." "That music is imposed on everyone," Seeger said. "If I l i s t e n to any kind of contemporarymusic, I listen to country." "Since rock, people are a lot more open to this kind of sound," he said."There's a revival of it." The revival includes people like Holcomb, who was discovered in 1962 "way back in t h e m o u n t a i n s of east Kentucky," by John Cohen, a mountain music collector from New York. He played only for local square dances prior to entering the entertainment business. A self-taught banjo and guitar player, Holcomb said, "I hear a man whistling something and just pick it out on my banjo."Both Holcomb . and Seeger, who plays autoharp and fiddle in addition to banjo and guitar, said theyhave difficulty switching from one instrument to another during a concert. "I tend to associate theinstrument with the song," Seeger said. "It takes me about 15 minutes to get into the style of a certaininstrument." "Because of that, I hardly ever play right when on the stage." "This was a very goodaudience tonight," Seeger. "In general, people who come to this type of concert react favorably." Hisonly complaint was that "it is too bad that people hand clap during a song with words." He did, however,encourage audience participation by promoting a square dance at the close of the concert. He spenthalf an hour teaching the audience steps and calling the Virginia Reel. Seeger said that because people enjoy it, he is doing this more and more. "People are not exposed as much to this kind of musicbecause it isn't into the mass media," he said. "I think this music should have a voice," he addedfinishing his hash and packing up for Seattle. AS legislature, Burke split on sidetracked constitution by O. K. JOHNSON Disagreements between AS legislators and their advisor over the role of the studentcaucus, r e s u l t e d in a proposed constitution being sent into committee for revision last week.Under the All-College Senate, the student caucus will replace the AS legislature, and will be composedof all student senators elected by the student body. The disagreement stemmed from arguments fromAS President Tod Sundquist and Kay Burke, director of the Viking Union and senior advisor to theAssociated Students, concerning both the role of the constitution and how student services would berepresented in the student caucus. The student caucus is designed to have non-voting members whichwill include one representative each from Student Activites, the collective Student Services and thecollective Student Publications. These people will provide s t u d e n t s e n a t o r s with informationrelating to the needs and concerns of the areas they represent. The purpose of the proposedconstitution is to organize the governing system of the AS in a manner to compliment the existence ofthe All-College Senate. "The constitution lumps together the AS executive and the academic concernsand services," Burke said. "This puts the services under a primarily academic group which happens tobe the student caucus." Burke had reservations about how the student caucus is proposed to fit in withthe senate. The constitution, according to Burke, seems to be replacing an AS legislature that haslimited knowledge in areas of student endeavor, with a student caucus that has about the same limitedknowledge. S h e d e s c r i b e d the c o n s t i t u t i o n ' s provision of electing student caucusmembers on an academic or departmental basis as not as representative as it could be.

The College of Ethnic Studies and Bellevue Community College are sponsoring a symposium onprison reform on April 22-23 at the Coronet Bay Youth Camp at Deception Pass. The objectives of the s y m p o s i u m are to get participants involved in prison reform and to let them learn the most effectivekinds of action to take. The sponsors intend to present a comprehensive set of resolutions to GovernorDaniel J. Evans' prison reform committee at the conclusion of the symposium. Speakers are expectedfrom the Urban League in Tacoma and possibly from the state parole board. Ex-convicts will lead thegroup discussions.

Advance notice is recommended, but not required. The camp, can accommodate about 120 participants. representative of the discussion that has been going on for the last year than this constitution is," Burke said. The c o n s t i t u t i o nwas designed by Sundquist, AS Housing Commissioner Craig Cole, legislature speaker Chuck Broches and AS Business manager Rich Hass. Sundquist sees the problem of the caucus as a philosophicaldifference in the approach to the students. "We wanted to have a workable document that people canaccept," Sundquist said. "We have done everything possible we could do to complete it. The very people that were working along with us are now taking cheap shots that are detrimental to student interest. Ireally think the students have been shafted on this thing." Sundquist said that as far as he isconcerned, if the legislature rejects the document, then the legislature must come up with a constitutionthat is acceptable to Sundquist as well as every office and agency on this campus. "Legislature mustbear the burden now," he said. The revised constitution was scheduled to have come out of committeeand brought before the legislature Wednesday, after this Western Front issue's deadline.

The parking problem developed when some Birnam Woodresidents met with Coy late last quarter, complaining of not being able to get parking spaces in theBirnam Wood lot. Planners of the lot allowed for one or two cars per apartment, but there have been asmany as four cars, in some cases. Parking permits were sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, andmany Birnam Wood residents were unable to get permits and received parking tickets. A petition signedby 281 out of 452 residents opposed the month-long trial of using permits. Coy set up the meeting after62 per cent of the residents signed the petition.

The workshop, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Viking Union 304, is free and will feature Bruce Hauter of the Fairhaven Bicycle Shop as the local bike authority. Shannon said that anyone who wants to work on his bike or have it looked over by an expert is welcome to come to the workshop, which willprobably last an hour or two.

One part of the proposal suggests allowing one course in either psychology or soc/anth asan option to General Studies 105 (Behavioral Science) instead of requiring both General Psychology and either Human Evolution and Prehistory or Culture and Society. It also proposed permitting one coursefrom the field of social science to equal General Studies 321 (Non-Western Cultures) instead of requiring two courses. The council decided to postpone accepting the revisions until it sees reports from thedissenting members of the General Education Committee and from the Committee for Curricular Reform, another committee of the Academic Council. Roscoe Buckland, chairman of the general studiesdepartment, believes a piecemeal .revamping of the general education program will imply anunintentional major conceptual change. "The program has in many cases reached a point where it is not flexible enough and in other cases reflects neither a general education nor an education in general," hesaid. Henry Adams of the committee which made the recommendations said that the committee wasunable to reach agreement on a major overhaul. The members especially disagree on changing thesequence order of the natural sciences. Mike Cosper of the general education committee disagrees with its proposal. He would like to see a block credit system in the general education program. This systemwould fill the needs and interests of students he said, by requiring a certain number of credits in eachdiscipline but not restricting students to specific introductory courses. He argues that a student cannotbe forced to learn a set of facts and that freedom to choose courses would increase enthusiasm in theclassroom. Many students, especially science majors, believe Option I is more desirable than Option IIbecause it leaves more credits of their college careers to be spent in their major fields, he said. Cospersaid that he has heard many students complaining of the low quality of their Option I classes due tolarge class sizes, student disinterest and the professor's attitudes.

Hitchhiking will be legal but the method whichpedestrians use will be subject to scrutiny by the Washington State Patrol. Bellingham WSPdetachment supervisor, Sgt. R. W. Murry said it is his impression the law is to allow hitchhiking as longas there are no problems on the roadway created by such a person. Murry cautioned hitchhikers fromstanding in the roadway or on a "limited access facility." A "limited access facility," Murry explained, isthe area beyond the signs cautioning against pedestrians or other non-motorized traffic. The driver of avehicle picking up a pedestrian will also be liable for a citation if the vehicle is stopped on the roadwayfor loading, he said. The hitchhiker should consider the ease and safety of stopping for a vehicle beforesoliciting rides and Murry pointed out that if a hitchhiker is soliciting a ride in an area that would bedangerous for a stopping vehicle or other traffic, the hitchhiker will be ticketed. "The Battle of Algiers," amovie by Gillo Pontecorvo, will be shown tonight in Lecture Hall 4 at 7 and 9:15 p.m. Admission forstudents is $.75. In the film, actual historical events are carried past the usual goals of fictional re-enactment. The viewer gets the feeling that he is watching live events.

Tomorrow's match against Oregon Collegepits Western against a team that has its entire team back from last year. Don Weisman, Viking tenniscoach, has been working with his netters this week on the basic mechanics of tennis in order to improve their game. "We are working on body position and court position as well as other fundamentals,"Weisman said. Weisman said that he felt his squad did not play that poorly against Central and that histeam would get stronger as the season progresses. The match against Oregon College beginstomorrow at 3 p.m. well be fatal to Vik pennant hopes. Western had a twin bill with Pacific LutheranUniversity canceled Wednesday. The Viks were to have traveled to Tacoma, but will try to make thegames up later in the season. "If we can get some hitting," coach Larry Vance said of the Central series, "then I think we'll do all right. We didn't get any hitting last week when we needed it. This weather is just killing us as we can't play or practice." Vance will most likely start All-Evco pitcher Don Balke intoday's game and go with Ricky Shadle and Leo Gauthier tomorrow. The Wildcats, led by pitcher DanHeaverlo and outfielder R. 1. Williams, also lost a three game series last weekend, dropping a trio ofcontests to Oregon College of Education in Oregon. Western defeated OCE 2-1 earlier in the year. "Weneed these games," Vance said, "not just to stay in the conference race, but to keep a chance for thedistrict playoffs within reach." Western needs to play 20 games against four-year schools to qualify forthe district consideration. Thus far, the Viks have played only four because of constant rain outs, and are only 1-3. . Western has had six games canceled or postponed because of weather conditions. Ballsover the net!

Each of the 50 American states will berepresented at the three-day convention by a delegation from Northwest college or university; Westernholds the votes of the eighth largest state, Michigan. The convention, which Viking Union Director KayBurke, and others have criticized as "high school," will be a t t e n d e d by Democratic presidentialhopefuls Henry Jackson, George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey; plus New York mayor John Lindsay,Oregon Governor Tom McCall and ex-Senator Wayne Morse. According to Diamond, the convention is of such political importance that it has been used to predict the outcome of the Oregon primary.Diamond, Western delegation chairman Tom Casey and others have been organized for weeks, wooingthe votes of other convention delegates over to Western's "side," a process Casey and Diamond call"setting up ducks." As a result of their pre-campaign work, Casey hopes to enter the convention as the most organized delegation and elect a Western delegation member as convention chairman. "It's atremendous learning experience," says Casey. Diamond couldn't predict how Western's votes will go, or to which candidate, but says that "it looks like the c o n v e n t i o n will go to McGovern."

According to anews release from Environmental Action, a n a t i o n a l e n v i r o n m e n t al organizaton, AEC's"proposed development of a liquid metal breeder reactor is to be studied t h i s month by the JointCommittee on Atomic Energy to determine the feasibility of the $230 million project. Environmentalaction says that the proposed reactor "does not solve some, of the basic problems that plague presentn u c l e a r r e a c t o r s . -' The new reactors would use plutonium which, unlike the uranium fuel nowin use, would "be easily used by unauthorized parties for the construction of nuclear weapons." Yet nonew security precautions have been proposed. With a large number of breeders active, huge amounts of plutonium would have to be transported. Y e t , a c c o r d i n g to Environmental Action, no specialarrangements have been proposed for a transporting the plutonium which is much more dangerous thanthe present fuel used by reactors. E n v i r o n m e n t a l Action believes that Congress shouldundertake a full -review of the p r o g r am by independent scientists before the program is funded.

From 11 a.m. to noon, students had the opportunity to meet with Larsen in Viking Union room 567 and in Red Square until 1:15 p.m., said Western junior Kristina Mader, Students for Rick Larsen member. "I want to be sure that college students know that I care that they get involved in their democracy," Larsen said. "I want them to know I support an increased access of college education, I'm a strong supporter of the environment and I will hold the president accountable for his mistakes in Iraq." Larsen said he supports an increase in the Pell Grant system, which is the No. 1 source of financial aid from the federal government.

WWU plans to build parking structure and clean up creek Owen Finney THE WESTERN FRONT On Oct. 13, Western completed its $2.59 million purchase of the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride. It has plans to rehabilitate Lincoln Creek and build a transportation center, parking structure and visitor center at the park and ride. The 7.8-acre site, which opened in the fall of 2004, is a parking lot providing spaces for more than 530 vehicles and features a transit station. The parking lot generally remains at full capacity during Western's academic year, providing parking for Western students, faculty and Bellingham residents free of charge. The transportation center would service the campus and city allowing for both Western shuttles and city buses to provide public transportation to students and Bellingham residents, said Donald Wynn, Western's director of facilities management. The parking structure, while still in the planning stages, would have three levels, a 500-car capacity and would be located on the southern end of the property. There are no plans to charge for the parking. "We don't have enough parking available on campus," said George Pierce, Western vice president for business and financial affairs. "There's a sense that this campus should be doing more for sustainable transportation." There are. ; also plans for a visitor center;; which' would supply transportation-information and feature a latte stand, bicycle racks, and restrooms, Pierce said, . ^ The work is set to begin in June and be finished by October 2007. r''.J'\ ;â€¢ V Western does not have the funds yet for the transportation or visitor centers or the parking structure, said David Willett, a Western architect. It does have funds to begin work on the creek, which winds through the site making roughly one third of the property unusable. Western's Huxley College of the Environment will cleanup and restore Lincoln Creek in see PURCHASE page 6 â€¢ Barking fines increase Rigis Vincenti THE WESTERN FRONT Western's President's Council recently approved an increase in fines for all parking and transportation violations on campus.

BOOKSTOB.K ---------- Western Front 2006-10-27 - Page 4 ---------- 4 | Friday, October 27, 2006 NEWS The Western Front Degree and GUR evaluator assists students online Kaleb Gubernick THE WESTERN FRONT Western's administration has implemented a tool that will help bring organization to the frenzied race of completing General University Requirements: an online degree and GUR evaluation. Available for student use in January of 2006, the Curriculum, Advising, and Program Planning degree evaluator was created to assist students in degree planning and GUR calculation. According to Western's GUR catalog, approximately 15 courses in six categories must be completed before a student can graduate. Keeping track of the completed courses and the courses students still need to get through can be a daunting task. Western registrar Joe St. Hilaire said the idea of implementing the program was born from problems students often have understanding the exact requirements needed for their degrees. "Some people might say that it's all right there in the catalog and if you read the catalog that will take care of it,'- St. Hilaire said. "But catalogs in recent years have become more and more complex and requirements for degrees are, in some cases, very difficult to comprehend." Western has 400 majors and that number is consistently growing, not to mention the number of concentrations, tracks and minors. The degree evaluator is a tool that makes keeping track of these variables easier, St. Hilaire said. "It's really nice â€” it's a straightforward yes or no answer to all the courses," said Michael Green, a sophomore at Western and employee at the Advising Center in Old Main. These yes or no answers are what the program outputs after a student runs an evaluation, giving the student a heads up as to which requirements they have yet to meet. Linda Luke, the program manager for Western, said there are a few warnings students should consider when using the degree evaluator. For example, not all degree programs have been set up within the system, such as the history major, the bachelor of fine arts and student-faculty designed majors for both Western and Fairhaven College. Students completing the GUR sequence used prior to fall quarter of 2005 will experience trouble, as the degree evaluator only uses the GUR requirements put into effect after that quarter. More similar exceptions are listed on the Curriculum, Advising and Program Planning Web site. "It really is only an advising tool and should be used in conjunction with your advising faculty," Luke said, adding that the web application is in a constant state of improvement. Regardless of these warnings, Hilaire said he has nothing but high hopes for the application. "It's about getting students to feel confident in knowing what they're doing," St. Hilaire said. "Knowing they're on the right track instead of living with the doubts you get from reading the catalog." I was just quietly reading for class when starting booming. We all had the same expression. I just quickly packed up my Western marks 22 years with charity fund drive Tom Callis THE WESTERN FRONT This year marks the 22nd consecutive year that Western faculty and staff have participated in the Washington State Employees' Combined Fund Drive, which directs donations to more than over 2,000 organizations in Washington state. Last year 179 Western donors pledged $50,388 to 132 organizations, said Tim Wynn, head of Western's Combined Fund Drive. The Combined Fund Drive is the only campaign state employees are authorized to participate in on state time, Wynn said. The drive allows state employees to donate directly to nonprofit organizations but a large number of people contribute to the drive as a whole which spreads those donations around to // "The Combined Fund Drive is important because I think it shows that we care about other people â€” that you are willing to help them.' - Karen Morse President of Western each of the organizations, he said. Wynn said 12 percent of Western staff participated last year and he hopes they can exceed that this year. Western donors include President Karen Morse. "The Combined Fund Drive is important because I think it shows that we care about other people â€” that you are willing to help them," Morse said. "I donate through the drive because this gives me an avenue that shows that the university is committed to helping people." One of the organizations that benefits from the drive is Whatcom County Big Brothers Big Sisters. Organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters rely completely on donations to provide their services to the community. "We live and breathe on donations," said Linda Ballasy, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Washington. "We wouldn't be able to operate our organization without them." Through donations and volunteers, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Whatcom County is able to provide one-on-one mentoring for approximately 200 children, said Patty Lagerwey, 57, Whatcom County Big Brothers Big Sisters school buddies coordinator. While Lagerwey spends the work week matching volunteers with children at local schools and she also served as a personal mentor to Crissa, a 13-year-old, for the last six years. Children such as Crissa," whose single mother works 60 hours a week, benefit immensely from the one-to-one mentoring provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters, Lagerwey said. "I have been able to show her that there is another person in her life that cares about her," she said. "That's what our program is about, providing a friend to a child."

This fall, off-campus students have a new reason to party: a program that helps them avoid getting busted. After more than a year of research and collaboration, the Campus Community Coalition launched "Off- Campus WWU: a student road map to neighborhood living," a site committed to helping students get along better in their neighborhoods by encouraging them to communicate with neighbors before having a party. "We believe if students are more integrated in their neighborhoods they might be less apt to have loud, disruptive parties related to alcohol misuse," said Susan Adams, Campus Community Coalition activities coordinator. "We don't enjoy breaking up college parties. I think there's a misconception that the cops like to come and spoil everyone's fun. - Lt Steve Felmley Belllngham Police // The Web site was launched last May, giving the coalition time to work out any" kinks and promote it for fall term. This is the biggest party season because many students are living off campus for the first time, said Campus Community Coalition coordinator Lara Welker. The site is part of a bigger project called Neighborhoods Engaging with Students (NEST), which is funded by the National Institute of Health. The NEST project is in its final year of distribution. Western received this three-year grant on a trial basis to see which programs work. The goal is to cut down on tension and need for police intervention. "We don't enjoy breaking up college parties," said Bellingham Police Lt. Steve Felmley. "I think there's a misconception that the cops like to come and spoil everyone's fun." The Web site features sections on how to party without getting in trouble, what to do if something goes wrong, relevant laws, and a survival guide on the ins and outs of living off-campus. The Neighborhoods Engaging with Student's project also sponsored the Let's Talk forum Oct. 18 with Campus Community Coalition as a way to start the dialogue between students, permanent Bellingham residents, and the Bellingham Police Department. "If a student knows the people who live next to them," Welker said, "knows that there are kids, knows they're gonna get up and go to school in the morning, they might think differently about how late their loud party went on or how many people they had over or what night of the week it was; those kinds of things." pttlilliiiM A representative from A N EDUCATION OF M I N D A N D HEART win be at the Viking Union Lobby Tuesday, October 31 â€¢ 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Whitworth's Master in Teaching (MIT) Program â€¢[ callows you to get your master's degree and i teaching certification simultaneously!

Jordan, whose father is head of security at Intalco in Ferndale, said he wanted to thank Larsen for what he has done for the local economy. "He is keeping a lot of jobs out there," he said. Not all of the attention was positive as four members from the Free Larsen group used the opportunity to speak directly with him. Free Larsen is made up of local anti- Iraq war activists who are frustrated with Larsen's voting record on the war in Iraq, said Carolyn DeSilva, Bellingham resident and Free Larsen member. "We are democrats and would like to support him," DeSilva said. "But its hard to support anyone who continues to support funding for the war." Western junior Ian Morgan spoke to Larsen about his concerns relating to the raid carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Whatcom County on Aug. 30. Larsen was unable to comment on the raid based on second hand information, Morgan said. "I feel like I came ready to state my opinion," Morgan said. "He acknowledged my concerns but he is so skilled at paying lip service, I just got pacified." photo by Matt Cagne THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Ian Morgan (right) listens to Rep. Rick Larsen talk with another student. Bellingham resident Margie White, 76, and a student hold a sign reading "Empires Fall." White was arrested and fined $543 for refusing to leave Larsen's downtown office during a sit-in protest Sept. 28. Transportation fines increase 15 percent â€¢PARKING from 1 charged at rates set by the state of Washington, said April Markiewicz, chair of the Parking Fee Review Committee. The revenue from such fines goes toward offsetting annual increases in university transportation costs, Markiewicz said. The Committee consists of nine Western faculty members and one Associated Student representative and is tasked with reviewing and issuing recommendations on Western's parking and transportation services. Rising fuel prices, state-mandated salary and benefit increases, and maintaining Western's diverse parking and transportation services, contribute to increased transportation costs, Markiewicz said. In 2005, 25 percent of Western's parking and transportation revenue for came from fines and citations issued for parking and transportation violations, according to data compiled by Western's Parking and Transportation services in 2005. Kevin McClain, vice president for Campus and Community Affairs and the student representative on the committee, said another factor contributing to the increase in fines is the depletion of the parking services budget reserve. Those reserves were spent on running and maintaining the campus shuttle and are now depleted, McClain said. While the Committee was largely split on the issue of increases in parking fee rates, the decision to increase parking fines was unanimous, McClain said. "Those people who disobey parking rules and regulations deserve to be fined," Markiewicz said. The increase in fines also reflects the need to give priority access to Western's approximately 3,500 parking spaces to paying pass holders, Gassman said. A law passed by the City of Bellingham in response to Western's 2001 Institutional Master Plan states that Western must maintain at least 3,500 parking spaces. If capacity is above 90 percent for two consecutive years the school must expand its parking lots. Western plans to improve park and ride, clean up creek â€¢PURCHASE from 1 coordination with the city. "It's a drainage ditch right now," Pierce said. "Restoring the creek will make a park-like atmosphere." One of the first tasks in the restoration is to put a bridge over the creek for access to the Maple Park Apartments, Wynn said. "The creek will flow north until it reaches the property line and then it will go into an underground culvert heading under Fred Meyer on Lakeway Drive," Willett said. "We will create a natural channel and a 150-foot natural buffer to protect it from runoff and we will be able to monitor the water quality at both ends of the creek." As Western continues to erect facilities, space for parking is eliminated, so the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride becomes an asset, said Maureen McCarthy, community relations and marketing manager for WTA. "It turned out to be a very good arrangement for the university because land prices have gone up" - David Schooler Sterling Realty president Western entered a lease-purchase agreement with Sterling Realty Organization in 2003. The lease-purchase agreement allowed Western to save money by freezing the price of the property at the time of the agreement, said David Schooler, president of Sterling Realty Organization. "Western has put a bunch of money into the property, causing its value to rise," Schooler said, referring to the bus pullouts, shelters, lights and phones Western installed last year.

This diverse mix of music and performance will be available for viewing in downtown Bellingham at The Nightlight Lounge. "It's gonna be off the hook, that's all there is to it," said LaPUSH baritone saxophone player John Meloy. The Nightlight Lounge will host the third annual "Funk or Treat" show on Saturday. Funk band LaPUSH will return as headliners of the show for the third year in a row. Seattle musician BShorty will also be featured along with Ms. B.

LaPUSH will wrap up the show as well, coming back onstage for the finale with the entire band in full costume for the performances, said Joel Ricci, front man for LaPUSH. "LaPUSH is a non-stop funk and raw soul orchestra," Ricci said. "We are represented by some of the finest musicians in the Pacific Northwest.

Berg, who has been hooping for approximately five years, dances with light-up hula hoops and said her hula hooping is cutting edge. "BShorty puts on a really good show," Ricci said.

There will be singers ranging in age from high school students to professors, who will be participating in the Halloween celebration with "spooky" music. Co-coordinators Thibo and And}' Marshall, a Western graduate student working toward a master's in teaching, are trying to give students a larger variety o\' music than what they hear on their iPods, Marshall said. 'T'm hoping to increase the instances of people humming to themselves and singing songs as they walk down the stairs, in the library or wherever,11 Thibo said. The other performers ..., use their voices to make music and they want to teach participants to sing through sing-a-longs, Thibo said. 'AVe do not prepare music; we prepare ourselves to be music." Thibo said. Thibo and Marshall are both musicians trying to perform and share their music with others. "if you're going to call yourself a musician, especially a student here (at Western), you wouldn't be in the professional world," Marshall said. "You got to get out there and do it. That will make stuff happen." Performances include The Wolf Tones, a solo performance by Thibo, group singing led by Marshall, and an appearance by the Squalicum High School choir directed by Justin Wisness. Wisness is bringing 23 of his students in a group called the Squalicum Storm Singers, which performs around Beilingham. He said he sees "Resonant Evil" as a great experience for his students to get out and sing with other performers in the Beilingham area.

It's a little is till about on the unconventional side too, being that it's on- the Sehome Arboretum. I can't imagine there has ever been a performance up there." Thibo and Marshall said they are attracted to spaces that echo or resonate, such as racquetball courts, bathrooms, stairwells, libraries and tunnels. Thibo said he feels good about his singing when he sings in places like the tunnel. "(A resonant space) gives you something back," Thibo said. "If you're playing a guitar you're getting back more than you're putting into it." They started their concert series in places that echo last December and have performed in the Western Gallery, and several times in the downtown Fairhaven library. Thibo and Marshall say they not only sing for themselves but for other people, and they give amateurs the chance to perform with professional singers.

Epic Events, together with Western club Loa Records, will bring "Ghouls Night Out" to the Depot Market Square at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28. The event will feature Bellingham bands Black Eyes and Neckties, Horror Business and The Wastelanders, said Joe Olmstead, Western graduate and Epic Events production manager. Horror-punk band and Bellingham favorite Black Eyes and Neckties is sure to bring the party with its wild stage antics and Halloween feel, Olmstead said. "We're a cheeky, fun dance-rock band that dresses up like zombies with fake blood," said Ryan "Cadaver," guitarist for Black Eyes and Neckties. Black Eyes and Neckties has been around since 2002 and includes Bradley "Horror" singing vocals, Brenda "Grimm" on keyboard, Josh "Homicide" on guitars, Benny "Bloodbath" on bass and Davey "Crypt" on drums, Cadaver said. Since it's a Halloween show and the band has a Halloween-like theme, there will be an extra-special set with all the favorites and some cover songs, Cadaver said. Black Eyes and Neckties is playing a show on Halloween at the Nightlight members Lounge, but it's 21 and over, so all the underage concert-goers should get their fix of the band early, Cadaver said. The Misfits tribute band Horror Business will also bring their energetic stage performance and Misfits costumes to the table for a full "Ghouls Night Out" rock-fest. The Misfits are a punk-rock explosion that formed in the late 1970s, said Bo Stewart, Western graduate and bassist for Horror Business. "If you like the Misfits, you'll like us," Stewart said. Horror Business even dresses up. like the Misfits in black attire with full ghoulish face makeup and devil-like hairdos, Stewart said. The Wastelanders round out the event, bringing an edge of rockabilly punk to the stage, Olmstead said. "All the bands are great â€” it's going to be great, high-energy show," Cadaver said. Local business and co-sponsor Epic Events specializes in the planning and promotion of community events, Olmstead said. The other co-sponsor, Western's pn-campus local music club Loa Records, is also working to contribute manpower by planning, promoting and working at the event, Olmstead said.

The rain let up, but the dismal night continued for the Vikings, which lost its last game of the season â€” and for seven seniors, the last of their college careers. The 3-1 loss was the Vikings' sixth in a row. The team ended the season 2-17-1 overall and 0- 4 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. The Redhawks halted their four game losing streak, which began after their 1-0 defeat of the Vikings on Oct. 4. Viking senior forward Gus Zadra scored the game's first goal by slipping between "two defenders and IBSllllfli capitalizing on a pass from senior midfielder John Hoogestraat four minutes in. The goal was Zadra's seventh of the season and left him tied for third in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. The Redhawks' Jason Cascio tied the game before halftime with his 14th goal of the season. He scored again with 13 minutes left in the second half to put the Redhawks up 3-1. Forward Andrew Kreiter also scored for the Redhawks when Viking junior goalie Michael Lockwood dove for the su 2-17-1 overall, 0-4 in ball and missed, leaving a wide-open goal. Despite the miscue, Lockwood finished the game with six saves. Both teams' physical play occasionally turned ugly. A Redhawks' player threw the ball at the head of a Viking player during the first half, and a short scuffle broke out in the second half during a stop in play. The Vikings played spiritedly because it was the last game of the. season, Lockwood said. Viking head coach Travis " Cohnell characterized the Vikings' physicality toward â€¢ the Redhawks in a different way. "We came out and put a scare into that team," he said. The Vikings' poor record this season isn't . reflective of the talented players they had or the effort they put in, Connell said. E v e r y s e a s o n j s abo ut momentum, Zadra said. "It's those little tiny things that put you over the edge," he said. "We couldn't get those this year." The team is losing seniors Robbie Curry, Joel Grossman, Jacob Haddock, John Hoogestraat, Zach King, Kenny Mueller, Zadra and Haddock, who finished the season tied for seventh in the conference with five goals.

Western fencing club member takes first tournament Kennedy White THE WESTERN FRONT A steep stairway in the back of Carver Gym hides a flurry of action. At the top of these stairs and around the corner hides the Western fencing club, practicing blade techniques and footwork on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 8-10 p.m. in gym D. The club, comprised mainly of students and a few adults, competes monthly in fall tournaments against other clubs and fencers from areas such as Seattle, Bellevue and Vancouver, British Columbia, said Western senior and club president Joe Kennedy. Though the team likes to compete, the overall attitude of its members is light-hearted and open, said Bellingham resident and 20- year fencer Michael Allen, 38. Allen said the club's experienced fencers were hard on beginners during practice on Oct. 18. "There are some serious war dogs out there, but most are here for fun," Allen said. After only five practices, four members of the fencing club competed in the Western Fall Open No. 1 held in Carver Gym D Oct. 21. Western freshman Patrick Darby defeated Western senior Zach Munsey to place first in the tournament's gold medal bout. A beginning fencer needs a great deal of practice before being able to hold any ground in competitions with club fencers from around the region, Kennedy said. "We encourage fencers to show up as often as possible," said Greg Riedesel, 32, a manager of operating systems with technical services at Western, Most students in the fencing club don't have OUt there, but mOSt their own gear, and don't need their own to join the club. Before practices, the team meets downstairs from Carver gym D to "There are some serious war dogs are here for fun/f - Michael Allen dole out basic practice gear to those who need it, including weapons, masks and jackets. Kennedy, a four-year member of the fencing club, said he began fencing on a whim during his freshman year at Western. He said he gained knowledge and a love of the sport through his teammates and competitors in regional tournaments. "It's a friendly community," he said. "The whole community builds together."

When the fencers are warmed-up, the club splits into two sections: the intermediate fencers and the beginning fencers. While the intermediate fencers are taught more advanced techniques, the beginning fencers work with the club's more experienced fencers on basics, such as advancing (moving forward on an opponent), retreating (moving away from an opponent) and parrying (deflecting an attack). Though the fencing club can be intimidating and physically straining, Riedesel said it's fun and well worth the pain of being jabbed by a foil. "I'm always smiling when I'm going home," he said.

The team improved to 16-5 overall and remains in second place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference with a 12-1 record. The Crusaders fell to 12-11 overall and 7-6 in the GNAC. After dropping the first game 26-30, the Vikings countered with three straight wins and secured their 6-0 record at home this season. Viking coach Diane Flick said the team came into the match lacking energy but steadily boosted its emotions. "The worst of times is the best of times," she said. Viking outside hitters Jaime Anderson and Emily Castro finished with 19 and 14 kills, respectively. Middle blocker Tiana Roma added 11 kills and libero Courtney Schneider had 37 digs. â€” The Western Front Andrew Irvine's photo by Melissa Blair THE WESTERN FRONT Viking outside hitter Emily Castro's hit gets blocked during the Vikings' 3-1 match victory over the Crusaders Thursday in Carver Gym. It's incredible, what a year can do. Last season up to this point, the Seattle Seahawks record was 4-2 and they had just pummeled the lowly Houston Texans on national television. Fans were excited about the-prospects of a winning season. A year later, the Hawks sit with an identical 4-2 record but with much more skepticism. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and running back Shaun Alexander are injured. The offensive line, which manhandled opposition a year ago, suddenly looks inept. On top of that, the defense is allowing almost one touchdown per game more than it did in2005. â€¢ Even so, the Seahawks are in first place. The football gods have dealt the Hawks a tough hand, but it's time to show some resilience. I think the team will do just that. The Hawks' schedule is quite favorable to the team. After traveling to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs this week, they will play Oakland, San Francisco and Green Bay in three of the next four games. To say those games are winnable is an understatement. I know the Seahawks won't be 13-3 as they were last season, but .11- 5 isn't out of the question. Out of the remaining 10 games on the schedule, only three are against teams boasting winning records. With Alexander and Hasselbeck injured, it's time for the defense to show some teeth. The talent is there. Still, the big hits, clutch turnovers and timely sacks of 2005 have been absent. Aside from linebacker Julian Peterson, the defense is playing tentatively. The Hawks' offense needs support from the defense to have any chance. With advantageous field position and some defensive turnovers, the patchwork offensive unit should be able to hold the team together while the first- string offense heals. Second-string quarterback Seneca Wallace will be fine if he uses his talented receivers and doesn't try to force passes. The offensive line must step it up in the next few games. Wallace and running back Maurice Morris are not good enough to perform under heavy defensive pressure. If the line gives the backfield time, the positive yards will come. If not, expect turnovers in bunches. It may be difficult to remain positive about the team right now, but there is good news. Nothing seems to be going the Hawks' way yet they sit atop the division.

The university allows non-majors to take all 100-level art classes but unfortunately, those classes include little concentration on actually doing art. Art is a valuable part of an education. It teaches artistic skills and creativity that can't be found in a biology or math course. It allows students to express themselves in a way that writing a paper simply cannot. Carol Janson, art professor and department chair, said classes are not available for students outside the major because of the lack of space in the studio. Studio courses tend to be much smaller than lecture courses. If the department lacks available space, it should charge extra for non-majors who would like to take upper level, hands-on classes. If students want to do ceramics, they should be able to. The journalism department tries to include all students who are interested. Carol Brach, secretary supervisor for the journalism department, said the department offers certain 100, 200 and 300 level courses to students outside of the major, and leaves the option to write for The Western Front open to all students. The only stipulation lies in what registration priority those outside of the department receive. Brach said majors, minors and pre-majors have first priority. Brach said the journalism department has 186 students who are majors, pre-majors or minors. Janson said the art department has 364 majors alone and that in fall 2005, the studio area discontinued its minor. The only art minor offered now is in art history. Despite the remarkable size difference between these two departments, there is a way to create access for non-majors. If the journalism department is able to figure out a system that works, the art department can as well. If space and funding are the problems, the department could charge students extra to take the classes, ask for more funding from the university or apply for grants from the government. That way, the studio fee will allow for improvements within the department and students will have the opportunity to take hands-on art classes. Journalism is not the only department to allow other majors to take its classes. The theatre arts department allows non-majors to take acting classes, so it seems only fair to grant that privilege to students interested in art. cartoon by Tristan Hobson THE WESTERN FRONT Aglika Ivanova, a work- study employee for the art department at the University of Washington said the UW's 100-level art courses are introductory but still incorporate hands-on work to give the students a feel for what a major in art would be like. The 100-level courses are available to all students during fall, winter and spring quarters. Ivanova said UW offers all upper and lower division art classes for all its students in the summer. This allows students to take upper division courses whether they are declared majors or not. Western needs to offer a wide variety of art classes in the summer as well because it would eliminate the exclusivity of the art major and would not interfere with class size during fall, winter and spring quarters. Art is an important part of a complete college education. Students pay thousands of dollars to go to school and that money should cover education in any of the departments offered at Western. The university mission statement states that the programs within the College of Fine and Performing Arts are meant to serve the needs of the students. Needs clearly are not being met if some students are unable to enjoy the fruits of the fine arts. HinRii Locally, who are you going to vote for in Congress? Why?

Wal-Mart is perhaps the greatest place in the history of time. Wal-Mart has become increasingly vilified over the years, becoming the unofficial spokes-corporation for what is apparently wrong with capitalism. A recent court case out of Pennsylvania proved Wal-Mart employees are overworked and underpaid. Also, the retail giant has been accused of killing small businesses. But all moral outrage aside, where else can a struggling college student find quality products at affordable prices? J o h n a t h a n Horton, a computer engineer for the U.S. Air Force who worked through high school at a Wal-Mart in Colorado said though college students complain about Wal- Mart's business practices, that doesn't cause them to shop at local "Mom and Pop" convenience stores. Horton said most people are quick to pooh-pooh Wal-Mart but are equally as quick to forget that it also started off as a small business in 1962 in Rogers, Ark., struggling against bigger giants like Ben Franklin and J.C. Penney. Horton said Wal-Mart's success was initially built upon the hard work and business sense of founder Samuel Walton. The elimination of small businesses is not something just Wal-Mart is guilty of, Western freshman Angela Fletcher said. It's not just Wal-Mart's fault that America is moving toward a state where commerce is dominated by just a few companies. Americans are accustomed to being able to find what they want when they want it in just one store and there is a greater likelihood a national chain would carry whatever consumers are looking for, Fletcher said. In a several ways, Wal-Mart was created with the college student in mind. It is a one-stop shop for nearly everything. If Wal-Mart doesn't have it, well then obviously it's not really important. But perhaps the greatest perk of Wal-Mart is that some are open 24-hours per day â€” a must for any college student who, at 3:27 a.m., has the overwhelming desire to purchase a watch, a candy bar and an alligator pool. Wal-Mart puts its employees through the wringer, but its ideal employment for all students, Horton said. Even though he hated his job in high school and always ended his shift exhausted, Horton said he was instilled with a healthy work ethic and during school money was never an issue for him. Like all businesses, Wal-Mart has its smudges here and there and probably a few skeletons its closet, but on the minuscule income of a struggling college student who eats ramen every day it is a Shangri-La of affordable surplus. Wal- Mart is everything a local convenience store wants to be and given the chance, "Hank's Good 01' Convenience Fix'ns" would grow, expand and eventually fleece its employees too. So before badmouthing Wal-Mart on its unsavory business practices, students should realize it sells digital cameras starting at $45.76, MP3 players at $49.88, and at least it is not K-Mart. "Wal-Mart is everything a local convenience store wants to be and given the chance 'Hank's Good Ol' Convenience Fix'ins' would grow, expand and eventually fleece its employees too" Buy local or starve G. S. Raugust THE WESTERN FRONT Everything sold in stores is packaged to make it as appealing as possible to the customers. A label saying something is organic is no different â€” it is just a fancy type of packaging. If people really want to make a difference for their own health and for the health of their community, it is more important to buy locally grown produce than to buy something just because it is labeled organic. Local farmers who live right down the road are held more accountable in their farming practices by the fact that they generally don't want to poison their neighbors, if for no other reason than because they might get caught. A large farm in somewhere far away such as Chile might meet the certification requirements set by the Federal Drug Administration for organic foods, but that doesn't tell a consumer anything about the farmer's practices. How the farmer harvests the food, what kind of fuel the farmer uses to ship the food or what is done to preserve the food on its journey to the United States can tell a consumer important information about the farm that cannot be learned from an organic food label. The organic food certification requirements set by the FDA may be too arduous for small farms such as the ones prevalent in Whatcom County, said Max Morange, Food and Farming Coordinator for Sustainable Connections, a nonprofit group educating the community about the benefits of supporting local, independently-owned businesses. Anyone who has gone on a long car trip should know foods shipped thousands of miles will be in worse shape after the trip than when they were freshly picked. Food consumed within 24-48 hours of being harvested has significantly higher levels of nutrients and minerals, Morange said. With all the junk being sold as food to Americans today, organic vegetables represent a viable alternative. Some people think eating organic foods will make them physically healthier because they have fewer synthetic chemicals in them. Human bodies constantly process out bad stuff, said Jackie Stein, Western health educator for prevention and wellness. The more chemicals students put in their bodies the harder their bodies have to work, she said. Western biochemistry professor Spencer Anthony-Cahill said everything humans put in their bodies is a chemical, even a whole grain muffin. Reasons for buying organic extend beyond the implications for health. For many people it is a political decision to support a more sustainable food system. The question must be posed then: is organic food really better for people in the long run than food grown locally without organic certification? The gas it takes to ship the food and toxins spread by the vehicles that do the transporting should be a factor in the decision. Whether foods are grown locally or not should be the most important consideration â€” especially in Whatcom County which is one of the top 100 agriculturally productive counties in the country, Morange said. Along with dairy farms, seed potatoes and other foods, Whatcom County provides 71 percent of the U.S. supply of red raspberries, he said. If Whatcom County residents continue to buy food from industrial farms hidden in South American jungles just because of organic labels, eventually the small farms here won't be able to keep up. When one day the infrastructure for importing foods is wholly reliant on seized-up engines because the oil has run out, there may no longer be the choice to buy from local farmers because they will have all gone out of business. Seen from that perspective, it is either buy local or starve. www.shareyourlife.org 1-800-355-SHARE Coalition on Organ Tissue Donation LOCALLY OWNED OPERATED lt;^LPL^^^ Honesty Si Dependability Guaranteed! 10% Discount with Student ID f o c Q t 6 7 1 - 2 2 7 7 1189 E.

In the early days of-my adolescence, I would haul out one trash can every Thursday morning under the threat of having my allowance^cut. But as the amount I took to the curb increased in proportion to my age, my allowance stayed the same. Taking inflation into account, my wage actually went down in proportion to the amount of recycling and garbage I took out. I plan to bring this up with my parents and demand back pay, but that's another story. // doesn't Waste Management sort through our crap after we throw it out? Why should I suffer for the good of the planet? Before the service became curbside, anybody could make a quick dime by turning in bottles and cans for recycling. Now, instead of getting a nickel for every discarded can of Miller High Life, we pay for recycling through our fees for curbside pickup. Seattle has taken recycling a step further and fines people who do not recycle. What kind of country is this where I cannot throw away what I want, where I want, when I want? The repressed Republican in me likes the old system of laissez-faire instead of a fine for every milk jug I throw in my trash. But I've lost my youthful conceit. I've strayed from the capitalist dogma that money is priority No. 1 and the American arrogance that I should be able to do whatever I want. So now I spend hours muttering obscenities at the ignorance of my neighbors while I sort through garbage at my apartment building, digging out cans and plastics that could have just as easily been put in the recycling bins two feet away. As Americans, we have no excuse. Despite our progressive society, our mentality is still in a landfill. We still toss newspapers in the garbage by the tree-full. Our products have unnecessary packaging. We have more trashcans than recycling bins. We reminisce about the days when we only had to throw our refuse in one bag and lug one bin to the curb. Once the garbage truck came, our waste was out of sight, out of mind. Americans need to think beyond glass, plastic and paper and start to recycle everything, from uneaten food to cell phones. Think outside the bin â€” not about what you are recycling,. but what you are not. Despite our progressive society/ our mentality is still in a landfill/ Multiple excursions to the curb with recycling bins for glass, plastics, aluminum, newspapers and an armload of cardboard and the same old (but significantly lighter) trash can forced me to wake up a half-hour earlier every Thursday â€” a horrific prospect to my teenage mind. If recycling is so important, I thought in typical teenage self-centeredness, why recycling where we were not forced to comply and instead rewardedmonetarily for our efforts.

Washington state and the 2nd district is bright, but we face many challenges. As your representative I am working to protect the jobs in our communities, protect the security - of our., - -;':: nation, and protect the interests of our children and students. In the Northwest, transportation and affordable energy equal jobs. - Our continued quality of life in the Northwest requires a strong transportation system. As a member of the House Transportation Committee, I work hard to generate federal support for our local transportation needs, projects that will relieve congestion, improve safety and spur our economic growth. When we invest in transportation initiatives we invest in our local economy. For every $1 billion we spend on highway and road projects, roughly 47,000 jobs are brought to our community. Like you, I want affordable and reliable electricity rates for local businesses arid rate payers. I took a stand against short-term power rate increases and worked with Bonneville Power Association on its long-term rates to save jobs across our community. High power rates affect each of us - particularly small businesses. I am committed to keeping electricity rates affordable. I want to assure that our country is safe, secure and free. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I led Washington state's successful effort to protect Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Naval Station Everett from the axe of the base closure commission. As a member of the Armed Services Committee I sought to assure that the men and women in the military have the resources they need to do their jobs. But security in the 2nd District isn't limited to supporting women and men in the military. We are a district that sits on a U.S. border and because of that we have unique security needs. I support strong border security, while protecting the economic relationship between Canada and the United States. In my time in Congress I have tripled the number of border patrol agents along our northern border. Finally, I believe we must maximize learning and protect the interests of our students. To me that means building a culture of hope that increases the accessibility of our higher education, and assists students with their increasing education expenses. The dream of higher education is getting further out of reach for students across the country. Congress should be working to make paying for college easier for students, rather than more difficult.. That is why I support increasing the maximum amount of the" Pell Grant, which has remained static for the past four years. I also strongly support the Perkins loan program that assists more than 460,000 low- and middle-income students with their education expenses. As your Congressman I have dedicated my time and energy to protecting our economy, our security, and education in our communities. I am deeply committed to bettering the 2nd District and strongly believe that I am the right candidate for the job. I am Rick Larsen and I am asking for your support.

Studentsdiscussed a total of 32 bills. They-support-ed 23, stood against three, remained neutral on five andtabled one for further discussion. WSL will support Senate Bill 5517, which would grant a studentvote on governing boards. If this bill passes, a student representative would sit on Western's Board ofTrustees, which administers decisions such as faculty hiring, said Ian Stuart, state board president andvice chair of the Washington Student Lobby. One student may not sway the faculty opinion but willrepresent student voices, he said. "It's important that the administration hears the student voice ... inthe form of a vote," Stuart said. In an interview earlier this quarter, President Karen Morse said students'personal agendas, as well as conflicts between teachers and students, stand in the way of studentrepresentation on the Board of Trustees. "It's important that the admin- JstrationJiears the studentvoice ... in the form of a vote.' Ian Stuart vice chair, Washington Student Lobby "The Board does riotendorse a student on the Board of Trustees," Morse said. WSL will also support Senate House Bill1851, which would rework financial aid. "Any increase in tuition should be met with an increase infinancial aid," Stuart said. This year, Western received financial backing for 300 additional full-timestudents for the 1997-98 school year. WSL will lobby against House Bill 2586, which would prohibitdomestic-partner benefits, Stuart said. UW now grants benefits for domestic partners in studenthousing. Although the vote was not unified, a majority of representatives voted to lobby against thebill, and it became part of the agenda, Stuart said. Because Initiative 200, which would repealaffirmative action, is not yet a bill, the WSL cannot take an official stance on the initiative, Stuart said. "However, we did support a plank (position statement) in sup-, port of affirmative action," Stuart said.Other issues on the WSL agenda are: supporting a tax exemption on textbooks; supporting anincrease on student control of student- allocated fees; and supporting expanded childcare onuniversity campuses. WSL is also sponsoring the Evergreen Leadership Conference on Feb. 27 and28 at the UW for students "who are interested in learning more about lobbying. VIKINGS gotoOVERTIME AGAIN SPORTS/8 VOLUME 103 ISSUE'S TUESDAY January 27, 1998 BELLINGHAM,WASHINGTON Western student cleared of rape accusations By Wendy Giroux The Western Front -The 15-year-old girl who accused Birnam Wood resident Yesake Berehanie of rape has recanted amajority of her previous testimony, Lt. Dae Jamison of Bellingham Police said. Berehanie, 19, hasbeen cleared of allegedly raping the girl, but police declined to specify which parts of the girl's story shechanged. "There is no longer enough evidence to bring charges," Campus Police Chief Dave Doughtysaid. Berehanie was arrested and released Jan. 18 under suspicion of sexual assault: After numerousattempts to reach him by phone and e-mail, Berehanie remained unavailable for comment. Doughty said Bellingham police administered a polygraph test to Berehanie; the results showed no deception. Thepolygraph tester said he found mat Berehanie believes the girl had consensual sex with Berehanie, thatno force was used and no other people were present. "As a result of the polygraph test, the detectiveswent back to speak to the girl again," Doughty said. Jamison also said the girl claims to have beenblacked out for part of the night after drinking at a party at Birnam Wood; she still believes she wasforced to have sex. Doughty said no polygraph test was offered or administered to the girl. The changes the girl made in her statement eliminated probable cause, he said. Since no charges were formallyfiled with the courts, the incident will not appear on Berehanie's permanent record, Doughty said. Theincident is not a case of statutory rape because Berehanie is only 46 months older than the girl,Doughty said. If Berehanie and the girl had been a full four years apart, it would have been statutoryrape. In their original testimonies, Berehanie said he never knew the girl's age; she said she told himthat she was 17. â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS January 27, 1998 Campus Police Jan. 22, 12:34 a.m.: A fire wasreported in a dumpster outside of Ridgeway Delta* The flames were extinguished and there was nodamage.

Two years ago or so, John Lennon said of the Beatles, "We're morepopular than Jesus." Some called this statement sacrilegious, and some, notably the nebulous hippies,considered it to be "good" sacrilege â€” if such a thing is possible. Yet few willing to admit that,sacrilege or not, it was probably true. The message was and is the same in both cases: Say the Wordand you'll be free/ Say the Word and be like me/ Say the Word I'm thinking' of/ Have you heard the Word is Love Try to take everything personally. If you listen to the Beatles, you will see they are relatingand are relevant to you. Since you listen and relate to them, they are an extension of you. "TheBeatles" is us. Student arrested for wearing flag A student of Virginia Commonwealth University hasbeen sentenced to a year in jail on a charge of mutilating the American flag. Edward D. Franz, Jr., afreshman art major, said he will appeal the conviction. He testified that he found a vest made from theflag and wore it once. Last October a 16-year-old student from Boston was convicted on a similarcharge in Alexandria and was placed on probation. Yippie! leader Abbie Hoffman received a $100 fine ora 30-day jail sentence recently for violating a new federal law against flag mutilation. He was wearing acommercially-made stars-and-stripes shirt to a House Un- American Activities Committee hearing. Draft must go, resistor says "Conscription must be methodically resisted," James Forest toldapproximately 200 people Wednesday. Forest, one of the "Milwaukee 14," said he would oppose thedraft even if there was no war in Vietnam. The "Milwaukee 14" removed about 10,000 draft files from theMilwaukee, Wis., Selective Service boards on Sept. 24 and burned them with homemade napalm. "Wewere aiming at the students who have not closed their minds to new thoughts," he said. Forest isconfident the movement will be successful, he said. Radicals suggest reorganization Radical coalition members expressed indecision about whether to reorganize as a chapter of the Students for aDemocratic Society at a meeting Thursday. The coalition, formed at the beginning of fall quarter, is aloosely-knit organization of individuals with radical beliefs. When the coalition was formed, Bob Trivett,chairman, defined its purpose as being "to increase people's awareness of radical ideas in politics,social and economic issues and in academic fields." Affiliation with SDS "would make us more effectiveby making us part of a national movement," Wally Oyen, sophomore, said. Front/File photo You meetthe strangest people around campus â€”just horsin' around in winter quarter, 1969. Support the 18- year-old vote â€” Commentary â€” Recently, a bill was introduced into the state legislature authorizing 18-year-old citizens to vote. Sen. R. Frank Atwood, a major opponent, says the majority of 18- year-oldcitizens are not well informed enough of current events to cast an intelligent vote. "I do not feel that wecan increase the problem of apathy, which I believe to be the number-one problem of the nation," hesaid in a letter to this writer. A large percentage of college students is in the 18- to 21-year-old bracket."If we can't vote, how can we let the legislators know that we are well enough informed to deserve thevote?" you might ask. Write a letter to your state senator or legislator. Tell him how you feel. Then getfriends or relatives who can vote to write a letter favoring the bill. Married women abort most Eightypercent of women who obtain abortions are married, according to a report from the Citizens' AbortionDiscussion Group. Most are between 30 and 49 years old, have two or more children and arepregnant by their husbands. Research at Indiana University indicates that one woman out of four willhave had an illegal abortion by the age of 45. Freshman appeals dress policy Mary Strege, freshman,is appealing a March 3 Ridgeway Kappa Judiciary Board that found her guilty of violating dressregulations. Strege was found in violation on Jan. 23 of the Sunday Brunch policy, which statesstudents must appear in appropriate "dress-up affair" attire in order to be served the Sunday noon meal.Strege is appealing to Dean of Women, "because her due process of law was violated," Allison Andres,senior representing Strege in her appeal, said in a Front interview. No formal proceedings protectingher rights as a defendant, as are in every court in the United States, were employed by the KJB, Andressaid. Approximately. 30 cases are pending in Nash Hall for the same dress-rules violation. Compiled byPeggy Ferris Flunking students can get help by Tiffany White The Western Front Last year, 314students were dismissed from Western based on poor academic performance. Western's lowscholarship policy works to ensure that academic standards are met in the university. It is based on the tradition of maintaining some minimum standards. "I think there is an insistence that we expectcertain minimum standards, and if students don't maintain minimum standards, then you perhaps oughtto take some time off and access your goals," said Western Registrar Joseph St. Hilaire. Students aredismissed from Western for not fulfilling, academic standards. Western also receives enrollmentpressure from the state to accept more students, which pushes the university to get the student adegree in just four years, raising tougher academic policies, St. Hilaire said. "Right now, faculty arefeeling that tremendous pressure to do more for more students that leaves less time to do more forindividual students," St. Hilaire said. The policy maintains that a student must have at least a 2.0quarterly grade point average and higher than a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Typically it takes three to fourquarters for freshmen to be dismissed and two quarters for new transfers to be dismissed. Anacademic warning is issued at first when first-quarter freshmen drop below a 2.0 GPA. Academicprobation is initiated when a students still cannot stay above a 2.0 GPA. Continued probation beginswhen a student is already on probation and earns a GPA of 2.0 or higher but still does not raise his orher cumulative GPA to 2.0 or higher. "When a student begins a quarter on probation, they must thenearn at least a 2.0 that quarter to prevent dismissal," explained Yolanda Minge, Associate Director ofAcademic Advising Services. . David Porter was asked to leave Western this fall quarter, after receivinga letter of dismissal, "Western did it totally by the book. I was your general case of 'If you don't have a2.0, you are out/" Porter said. Reasons for academic dismissal vary greatly among students, rangingfrom poor time management to personal emergencies. Porter was also sent letters offering assistance from the Academic Advising Center. "I am bright enough to be in college," Porter explained, "but Ididn't want to do the work." Minge works with Academic Advising Services to help students strugglingwith grades and academic warnings and probation. "When we see a student, we want to get a senseof what is happening and what concerns they have," Minge said. Minge said she helps students withWestern policy "to have the university work for them and not against them." Students are also advised to take advantage of Western's resources, such as the time-management, study-skills and exam-preparation workshops in the Tutorial Center. In addition, the Writing Center and Math Center areavailable for student questions. The Counseling Center may address personal issues that affectacademic life. Minge said that she noticed that students tend to be embarrassed to come to theAcademic Advising Center for help. "We don't care what your grades are, we just want to help yousucceed," she said. Once a student is dismissed, the process of reinstatement to Western is difficult.Reinstatement requires the student to file a petition with the Scholastic Standing Committee, a groupof 15. faculty members who review the student request based on individual merit. The committeelooks at what students have done since academic dismissal and their plans to ensure that they candemonstrate scholastic success if reinstated. Students must attend another school before petitioningWestern, such as community college, summer school, another university or classes throughcorrespondence from the Independent Learning Office, and earn strong grades while they are there. "It is so much harder to get back into Western than it is to ask for help," Minge said. For information aboutacademic help, students may call the Academic Advising Center, Old Main 380, at 650-3850. ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS January 27, 1998 Huxley trades ideas, education with ChinaBy Samantha Tretheway The Western Front Western will cooperate with China in an - environmentaleducational program amidst controversy regarding China's human rights violations, Huxley Dean BradSmith said. The signing the agreement took place on Dec. 11 at the Asia Society headquarters in NewYork City. The agreement will impact both China and the United States economically andeducationally, Smith said. "What could end up happening is that not only will we share writtenmaterials, but we could be developing training programs," he said. "People from Huxley could go over there to conduct work-shops and have Chinese people from over there come here and do training."We in the United States are beginning to understand that environmental protection translates into goodbusiness," Smith said. "In the case of China, it could be very good business." However, controversysurrounds China's Most Favored Nation trade status in light of its continued human rights violations.China's growing population of more than one billion people impacts the environment, which does infringeon human rights, Smith said. "Is the right, to clean air also a human right?" asked Smith. "What ifeverybody in China subscribed to the life of a westerner?"he asked/The impact on the resources would be phenomenal." "There are battles to wage, and the battle that we wage is principally environmental ... If you shut off all dialogue, you minimize change for anything," he said.

"The web provides an ideal medium for buying, selling andexchanging textbooks." "The site is very simple to use," Retzlaff said. First, users register their e-mail addresses so all the information they type into the site can be identified. The users then enterinto the computer the books they want to buy or sell. Then they are paired up with another person whohas the requested book. "The idea had been thrown around in the past, so we took it upon ourselves tocreate the web," said Holland Guldberg, president of western computer users. Retzlaff took it uponhimself to create the page during winter break. "Though I haven't heard any official position on thematter, the Student Co-op Bookstore has been very cooperative in helping set things up," Retzlaff said."There is a natural tendency to make the bookstore and the online textbook exchange out to, becompetitors. This isn't really accurate, though," Retzlaff said. "The purpose of both the online exchangeand of the bookstore is to serve the Western student body, and we both do that." "Almost every person I ran the idea by said they would be very interested in such a site," Retzlaff said. "I am confident that itonly needs advertising effort to get the word out, and the site will become an integral part of gettingready for the next quarter of school," he said. Advertising won't begin unfl next quarter. "We have a great service to offer â€” it's easy to use, and there's no risk in offering your books for sale or in checking for a book you're looking for," Retzlaff said. "Once students see the site and use it, I'm sure they will beexcited about it." Retzlaff said he is looking into getting links from various Western web pages."Whether this site flies or not depends on our getting the word out to as many people as possible asrapidly as possible," Retzlaff said. The Western Online Textbook Exchange is located at http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/books. Questions regarding the site can be answered at the site or at dan-books@wcug.wwu.edu.

By Meredith Lofberg ^JlJhejVVestern Front iiÂ«ff The U.S. Department of Agriculture is in the final stages of a long process that will result in i i i i !ifa single definition for food labeled "organic." mm***** Recent controversy has surrounded thelabeling of foods as organic, meaning they are fgrown and produced without the use of syn- %is |theticfertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or ^growth-regulating hormones. Currently, no giiPiglnational standard for organic food exists. I \ Brad Smith, merchandising manager for the *li#Community Food Co-op on NorthForest Street, said traditional organic agriculture is " ^ c a r r i e d out on small, often family-oriented puiii farms. He said he believes the standards will frnake it increasingly possible for "big business" Jtoparticipate in the marketing of organic â€ž*:Â«#'foods. **" "That's contradictory to everything organicagriculture is about," Smith said. Stephen Trinkaus, owner of Terra Organica "\on North State Street, said certification is necessary so customers can be sure that what they IIP?5' are getting is organic. , â€žâ€” "We're not taking the farmer's or the processor's word for it," he said. Illfgil The most importantreason to eat organic is "for personal health," Trinkaus said. "These are iiiillivery toxic substances we are spraying our food 5iwith. This is one of the contributors to. many of p-Sfthe health problems people arefaced with, \wJalong with all the processed foods that we con- :" sume." t|: fP skiith said he believespeople would make I ffbett|r food choices if they were aware of the " ' chlfrucals sprayed on the food."There's no doubt that the chemical levels in ss!Â«Â«our fOQ(j gj.e a t a n unacceptable level in mostgl*Ss people's eyes," he said. %i While he said he believes widespread organi c agriculture couldmake the world a safer J place to live, Smith currently does not eat p F exclusively organic food. "Welive in a polluted, stressful, in many ways unjust world. I don't think my health is going to be impactedmuch by eating organic," Smith said. "But organic agriculture could change this." The toxins used togrow and preserve fruits and vegetables may have alarming health effects on consumers and especiallyon farm workers, Trinkaus said. Farmers exposed to the chemicals have a high rate of cancer. A TerraOrganica employee, Daniel Collins, said an added plus is the better taste that many organic foods have."Conventional vegetables are bland comparatively," he said. Both Smith and Trinkaus said that contrary to popular belief, organic food is not more expensive than traditionally grown foods. "(V)olume per dollar, it's more expensive," Trinkaus said. "(I)f you are looking at nutrition per dollar, it's much cheaper." "Ourclientele aren't people who have a lot of money," Trinkaus said. "They're just people who have made thisa priority in their lives." Smith said people are often unaware of the hidden costs of eating traditionallygrown food. When we use chemically based agriculture, we pollute the earth. This leads toincreasing health costs, Smith said. Organic packaged foods "have a lot of unnecessary artificialingredients removed," Smith said. "Do I really need this ice cream to have this specific color? Does itenhance my life? I don't think so," Smith said. "People who are making organic foods are targetingpeople who don't want artificial colors and flavors." Trinkaus urges people to realize they don't have to eat exclusively organic to reap the benefits of a healthy diet. "It's important that people realize it's not all or nothing," he said. "It's eye opening to realize where your food comes from," Trinkaus said. "For people who want to make a difference in the world, organ-ics are a good place to start."

Mmm By Meredith LofbergThe Western Front â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Vegetarianism and veganism are on the rise, with followers listingvarious reasons for their decisions to avoid flesh foods. Western chemistry major Katie Foland, avegetarian for seven years, said it all began when her parents attempted to make her eat fish. "I reallyhate fish/' Foland said. "I stopped eating meat altogether so I wouldn't have to eat it." Foland said herconvictions grew stronger when she saw an expose of meat packing plants on the news show 60 Minutes. "Meat fell on the floor, and a man picked it up and put it back on the conveyor belt," Foland said. Kristin Corning became a vegetarian six years ago. For the past three years, she has also been a vegan andeats absolutely no animal products, including milk and eggs. Corning said her decision to becomevegan "largely had to do with health reasons." She said she became very congested when she ate dairyproducts and felt her health was declining. Corning also said she believes meat is hard for the humanbody to digest, and we get little benefit from eating a carnivorous diet. * Animal rights issues were also alarge part of Coming's decision to avoid animal products. "I saw that animals raised for meat are oftentreated very inhumanly," she said. Foland said animal rights had little to do with her food choices. "I'mnot an animal rights activist. I just choose not to eat meat," she said. Foland said she contemplated going vegan but decided against it. "For me, it would be too hard to not eat dairy products. It would take toomuch time and money to cook without them," she said. According to a pamphlet entitled "Food choicesand your health," from the organization Earth Save International, "The biological reality is that humansneed very little protein in their diets." The pamphlet also states that additional protein doesn't improve ourhealth in any way and that "our biological needs for protein are as easily met by plant foods as they are by animal foods." "I think it is important not to try to break down your diet," Corning said. "I just try tomake sure I get a variety of foods, such as whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables." Jennifer Flament-Banowetz, educational outreach facilitator for the Community Food Co-op on North Forest Street, doesn'tbelieve vegetarianism is fpr everyone. Flament-Banowetz was a vegetarian for five years, but said shebegan eating meat again when her health began to go downhill. She felt she didn't have as much energyand generally didn't feel well. Flament-Banowetz said she believes body and blood type influence whoshould eat meat and who shouldn't. "I think vegetarianism is good for some people and not good forothers," she said. ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT FEATURES J a n u a r y 27, 1998 By Nolan Harron The Western FrontOW Starting late next fall, when renovations have been tentatively scheduled for the area known as"Vendors' Row," a way of life for many small-business people here at Western will be altered forever. Thearea, located between the bookstore and the Viking Union, has been a favorite student lunch andshopping spot for more than 20 years. Vendors will now be forced to move their businesses elsewhere forat least a year while construction is done on the site. Jim Schuster, the associate director of operationsfor VU student activities, said the goal of the renovation is to "turn the VU and Viking Addition into onebuilding." This process would enclose the courtyard and walkway now being used as Vendors' Row.Schuster said the construction will take approximately one year, during which time room for vendors willprobably not be available anywhere on campus. When construction is complete, he hopes to have fourvending stations located against the north wall of the bookstore. However, rights for these limited spotswill be competitive, and prices will certainly increase from the current standard of $500 per quarter.Schuster said the price hike will be a result of improved facilities. The vending stations will be indoors,which will invite more customers, and each vendor will be provided with a storage locker. The transitionwill not be an easy one for students who have made the small walkway to the VA a part of their dailyroutine. Some wear jewelry made by Jack Dalton or warm their tummies with a cup of hot soup from AWay of Life. Others survive the cold Bellingham winters with a sweater, purchased from Vendors' Row orkeep themselves awake with a latte from Maggie Thornton's espresso stand. Perhaps they walk by andsoak up the atmosphere as young adults and older salespeople joke and bargain with each other. Thestudents' inconvenience pales in comparison to that of the vendors, however, some of whom haveoccupied Vendor's Row for years. Thornton, owner of Caffeinds, the espresso stand outside of "CreativeJuices," has been serving sleep-deprived Western students their coffee for six years, including summers.Before she opened her stand, Thornton worked several jobs up and down the west coast, from SouthernCalifornia to Seward, Alaska. After graduating from high school, Thornton moved to Alaska in order to"escape L.A.," she said. While there, she fished commercially and eventually opened a health-food storein Seward in 1986. In between fishing and operating the health-food store, Thornton moved back to L.A. tobe a hair stylist. Thornton styled hair for videos and commercials during her brief return to SouthernCalifornia. "I did David Lee Roth's hair for a Toshiba commercial," she said. Despite the celebrities andglamour, though, Thornton realized she still didn't like L.A. After she closed down her health-food store in1989, she moved to Bellingham and opened a shoe store downtown. She was forced to close the storedown when Bellis Fair Mall opened because, she said, "The mall sucked all the business away from thedowntown area." Since then, Thornton has been supporting herself and two daughters with earnings fromthe espresso stand â€” and having a good time doing it. She said she enjoys owning her stand because it gives her freedom and independence that are not normally allowed in a nine-to-five job. "It's very colorful working here," she said, referring to the many different kinds of people she serves. Her playful attitude iscontagious on a bitter-cold Bellingham day as she jokes with her customers and throws garbage at theregulars. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do," she said. "My income is looming in the balance." Hersentiment is shared by Joel Litwin, who has worked at the A Way of Life bakery stand for eight years."I might just have to do other things," he said. Litwin does not know what those "other things" mightentail, but he says that whatever they are, he will miss Western. Camaraderie is what Litwin has enjoyedmost about his work experience on Vendors' Row. "We're like 'Cheers'," he said. "Everybody knows each other's names. Yoav Yanich, owner of A Way of Life, is not quite as concerned. He is busy with hisdowntown bakery of the same name, but is confident he will be able to maintain some presence atWestern after the renovation is complete, whether by opening another stand or perhaps just supplyingfood for Marriott. "Marriott is a good company," Yanich said. He is impressed that they have noticedsome of the entrepreneurial ideas of the vendors, such as Creative Juices, and have incorporated theminto their own stores. Dalton is by far the veteran of all the vendors on the Row. He has sold his jewelry at Western off and on for 20 years. Now in his late 60s, Dalton depends on the income he gains from thejewelry stand to support himself, his wife, three horses and a dog. He has raised four daughters withmoney earned by selling jewelry, and he plans to continue doing it. He started making jewelry in his late20s, when he owned an all-vegetarian nightclub called Mother Neptune's in Hollywood. Between sellingjewelry and operating the nightclub, Dalton was a professional painter. "I got tired of being a starvingpainter," he said. So he opened a jewelry stand and has been doing that ever since. "I had a knack formaking jewelry," he said. Dalton summed up the feelings of most of the vendors well by saying, "I lovethis place; I love the kids; I love the vibes. We would all really like to stay somehow."

The only problem is that Jane used the directorylast, she's out shopping with Elroy and Rosie can't find the number. Judy is in her room studying for herfinals at Western, where she's majoring in Cosmic Relations. Luckily, she has her Big Blue Bonus Bookon her and Rosie orders the pizza. Because Rosie is quite the catch, the pizza guy will undoubtedly takespecial care to hand-deliver George's dinner. Keeping this scenario in mind, take a second look at this quarter's Blue Book and see if it looks familiar. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Big BlueBonus Book, and the cover art commemorates the occasion with graphics reminiscent of "TheJetsons." With the exception of a couple of advertisements, such as the Whatcom Transit Authority adon the back cover, all of the ads are laid out by the staff of Wright, Hart and Mather. The staff, allWestern graduates, fills its usual 64 pages with ads from 75-80 Bellingham-area businesses. Someof last year's covers featured people in random futuristic places, such as the one featuring a man withhis hands pressed up against the glass of a second-floor window of a building. That man is actually staffmember Tim Cathersal, and the cover designer, Cale Burr, is the one doing the knicker-knocker jump onthe sidewalk. "It was actually just an idea to stick everyone in the office on the covers," Burr said. Burr'sfirst cover design was a hand illustration, quite different from the Jetsons-style computer graphics of thisyear's design. "The look, the floating city and the pointless rings around everything â€” if s just comical to me," Burr said. "The fact that there's a stoplight on the cover with two cars sitting there waiting ...that's also an attempt at humor." One fact most people wouldn't know: the covers of this quarter's bookand last quarter's fit side-by-side to form one picture. Spring quarter's book will complete the trio. Bun-said he suspects the next cover will be a little more organic, with landscapes and possibly a "picnicscene." Other interesting features are the subliminal numbers that hint at the anniversary of the book. Acloser look reveals windows reflecting images of "10s," and numerals up to 10 incorporated into openspace. The "Big Blue Bonus Book" font on the cover is the actual font used by the Jetsons show.Account Executive Nina Cathersal said she tries to make sure there are ads that students can use, andshe makes a concerted effort to get businesses to make the best possible deals in their coupons. "Thelonger this book stays out there, the more viable it becomes. The artwork is a big part of that," Cathersalsaid. Cathersal's concern is expressed in the caution she used in running an ad by Video Extreme, alocal adult video-rental store. The coupon reads, "Rent a smut film, get a smut film free." -Cathersal said she made sure the ad was not overtly offensive to students and that she was available for anyresponses to the ad. "I want to make sure Western is well represented in the book," Cathersal said.Perhaps her care comes from the fact she is a former Western student. "I'm real proud of the work I've done on this book," she said. "The clients I have are great. I've learned a lot about Bellinghambusinesses and marketing." Many businesses run their only advertisement in the Blue Book,Cathersal said, adding that businesses in the area are very pleased with the increased sales the bookbrings in. The cover, usually featuring a local pizza ad, has become a virtual bidding ground with LittleCaeser's and Pizza Time competing for Western's business. The bidding may peak at $1,500 foradvertising space in the cover spotlight. One reason pizza ads and other delivery ads, such as Bandito'sBurritos, are so prominent is to accommodate the many Western students who don't havetransportation. "I want to make the book as student friendly as possible," Cathersal said. About 1,200copies of die Spring '98 Big Blue Bonus Book will be distributed during the week of March 30. The coveris being created in Burr's head at this very moment, and not even he knows how it will turn out. Imaginean intimate picnic scene atop an island floating in open space. Rosie blushes as the pizza guy hands hera slice of pizza, and their hands touch for a moment...

Theloss sends Western into the bulk of its conference schedule on a down note. The Vikings host arch-rivals â€” and Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference champions â€” Central Washington University 7p.m. Thursday night in Carver Gym. Forward David Evans and point guard Brandyn Akana led the BYU-H attack. Akana lead the Seasiders with 38 points and six assists. Evans poured in 30 points and alsograbbed eight rebounds. No other BYU-H player scored more than 10. "Akana probably played thegame of his life," Western point guard Jared Stevenson said. "Everything he was throwing up was goingin." Akana, who scored only 8 points in the first half, came out firing in the second half. Akana fueled a13-6 run to give the Seasiders a 48-41 lead. "Akana killed us," Western Coach Brad Jackson said. "Hewas terrific tonight." The Seasiders went to the free-throw line 48 times in the game, while the Vikingsattempted only 25 free throws. Western ranks third in the nation in free-throw accuracy, shooting 78.5percent from the charity stripe. "That seems like that's kind of the way it's been all season," seniorforward Dan DeBord said. "Not because of the officiating, but because we aren't taking the ball to the rim as hard as we should." Stevenson agreed. "We don't take the ball to the basket very hard most of thetime." Western scored five unanswered points to send the game into overtime. DeBord tied the gameat 75 with a jump shot in the lane. The Vikings had a chance to win the game in regulation. AnEngblom-Stryker three-pointer bounced off the rim as time expired. The game went into overtime in a 75-75 tie. In the first overtime, Engblom- Stryker scored four of Western's first six points to give the Vikings the lead 81-80. Throughout the overtime, the lead would switch hands every possession. AfterStevenson drove the lane and hit a jumper, Chris Bates was called for a charge that gave Western theball and the lead, 89- 88. On the next play, Stevenson was fouled and split a pair of free throws to makeit 90-88 with 5.9 seconds in overtime. This gave Akana enough time to drive the length of the floor and,as time expired, tie the game at 90 with a jumper in the middle of the lane. "We fought hard and theygave us two chances to win it," Engblom-Stryker said. "In both regulation and the first overtime â€” weshould have pulled it out there." In the second overtime, Akana finally drove the nail into Western'sproverbial coffin. Akana grabbed the ball, drove to Western's hoop and was fouled by Stevenson. Akanamade the free throw. The shot gave the Seasiders a 93- 90 lead â€” a lead they would not relinquish."We out rebounded them, and we came back to get into overtime; I'm proud of our guys for that,"Jackson said. "But we turned the ball over in certain situations and gave them opportunities." AfterAkana's three-point play, the Seasiders had too much momentum and rolled to 22 points in the five-minute overtime. Western must now put the loss behind them. "We have Central on Thursday; theywill be very, very tough," Jackson said. "They're a very good team." "We know Central will be a realtough opponent," Debord said. "There are always battles between us and them; we just have to refocusand make sure we're ready for them." Western has already played two PNWAC games and 1-1 inconference play. With just eight weeks remaining in the season, every win or loss could mean thedifference between playing in the playoffs or watching them from the sidelines.

Western's women didn't do either in a 67-55 loss to Montana State University-Billings last Saturday. The Vikingsturned the ball over 26 times and allowed the Yellowjackets to grab 12 offensive rebounds. Western haslost two of its last three games and are 14-3. The Vikings are 1-0 in the Pacific Northwest AthleticConference after beating Lewis and Clark State Jan. 21. Montana State improved to 14-6. Westernequaled Montana State with 34 total boards, but it wasn't the number of rebounds that hurt the Vikings. It was the points that the Yellowjackets scored after offensive rebounds that stung the most. "I think theyare a good team, but I didn't think we played very well as a team today," Western Coach Carmen Dolfosaid. "We had a lot of turnovers. We didn't get many boards. We didn't take a lot of shots. We just didnot play well." Montana State held Western to 48 field goal attempts compared to 65 for theYellowjackets. Before Saturday's game, Western ranked nationally in every shooting category. Westernwas shooting 46.6 percent from the field, including 38 percent from behind the three-point line in its first16 games. Against Montana State, the Vikings fizzled, shooting 37.5 percent from the floor, including 2-12 from three-point range. Western's scoring total was 21 points below its season average of 76.9.Western led 8-3 early in the first half, but contributed to a 12-0 Yellowjacket run that put the 'Jacketsahead 15-8. The Vikings turned the ball over eight times in the first eight minutes of the game. CelesteHill canned a pair of free throws to pull Western within two points at 34-32. But every time the Vikingsclosed the gap, the Yellowjackets extended the lead. A three-pointer gave Montana State a seven-pointedge with three minutes into the second half. The Vikings, hurt their chances by throwing the ball away,which led to easy scores for Montana State and less scoring opportunities for Western. "I think all of(the Yellowjackets) are capable of scoring, and I don't think we did a good job on the inside or outside,"Dolfo said. Montana State's Megan Dickerson drilled a pair of back-to-back three-pointers to give theYellowjackets their biggest lead at 51-38 midway through the second half. Western pulled to within sixpoints on a three-pointer by Briana Abrahamsen with five minutes left. But that was as close- as theVikings would get. . Western scored just three points in the final 3:52 of the game. Dickerson led allscorers with 22 points. Hill led Western with 15 points, April Saunders scored 14 and Heidi Van Brocklin added 12. Nicole Krell grabbed eight boards and Saunders had seven. The only consolation to losingSaturday was that it was a non-league game. Western plays PNWAC rival Central Washington University Thursday at Ellensburg. Central is 7-6 and coming off a loss to Saint Martin's College. "I just think weneed to regroup and get back to work," Dolfo said. "I think we are capable; (we just) need to put ittogether."

President Clinton is a lying, cheating bastard.Welcome to the world of politics, right? Wrong. Once again, Clinton's approval rating, not to mention hisjob security, is in jeopardy. And, once again, it is not due to any nefarious political dealings, but tocrimes allegedly committed in his personal life. The time has come for this morbid curiosity with the mostdysfunctional first family to end. From Gennifer Flowers to Paula Jones to Monica Lewinski, the parade of skeletons marching out of Clinton's monogamously challenged closet seems never ending. Ourcollective fascination grows exponentially with every alleged presidential mishap. Suspicion abounds withevery Clinton denial. This time the situation seems a bit more serious than just a little hanky panky inthe Oval Office. Clinton's alleged affair with one-time intern Monica Lewinski has Clinton neck deep inmore political hot water than his presidency may be able to handle. The word "impeachment" has been whispered by more than a few experts, and every major newspaper from The Seattle Times to The New York Times has called the scandal Clinton's Watergate. Has anyone stopped gossiping, speculating and mud-slinging long enough to consider the fact that Clinton's extramarital activities, while certainlyMonday night movie, scandal-of-the-week fodder, are none of our business? Some argue that because he is our president, and therefore accountable to the American people for his actions, we are privy to everydetail of his diminishing private life. Those are also the people who, given the opportunity, would act asClinton's judge, jury and executioner, causing his political demise for crimes that offend their moralities.This witch-hunt attitude overlooks a very basic principle. The American people are not the correct forum to deal with issues of Clinton's infidelity. The affected parties, namely Hillary and Chelsea, are the oneswho should decide his fate â€” as a husband and a father, not as a president. The fact is, mostAmericans would be hard pressed to nail down exactly how their lives have been adversely affected byClinton's reported philandering. When his extramarital activities start having a negative effect oneconomic policy, that is the time to take him to task. It is entirely possible that Clinton's history ofinfidelity is longer and richer than tabloid editors and book agents could even begin to imagine. It is notunlikely that, during his travels, Clinton may have had affairs in every major metropolitan city in the nation. But as long as he can come up for air long enough to deal with issues of domestic and foreign policy,his womanizing should be none of our concern. After all, the only person who should have the right tokick Clinton out of the White House for skirt chasing is Hillary. â€” Carey Ross, Opinions Editor TheWestern Front Editor: Gene Metrick; Managing Editor: Kristen T.

Stop building the Stealth, start balancing the budget Arvid HokansonCOMMENTARY In the present day of the U.S. being the sole world superpower, lawmakers have been given the golden opportunity to show their innovative ideas and a chance to balance the budget in arevolutionary fashion. About 60 years ago, a man by the name of Franklin D. : Roosevelt was electedpresident four consecutive terms, due in part to his amazing ability to pull our nation out of thedepression with the New Deal. The New Deal did all sorts of great things for the country. Many of thenational parks and scenic roads we have come to love are a result of a New Deal product, the WorksProgress Administration (including the bridge at our own Whatcom Falls Park). As each day passes,our nation's infrastructure continues to deteriorate. Roads, schools and the inner cities continue tocrumble as we continue to build the B-2 bomber and other military boondoggles. I know I feel good about a $2-bil-lion jet that can only fly in certain "optimum," conditions. Each year, Congress continues towaste tax dollars on military spending. But if we cut military spending, a lot of people will lose their jobs, which is not good. Members of Congress from military districts continue to fight to keep unnecessarymilitary spending flowing, even when the military, as the Air Force did with the B-2, said no. What thismeans is that, indeed, it is time to slash the already bloated military budget and retrain those workers torebuild America. Right about now you may be wondering just how this plan would work. First, we wouldre-allocate wasted defense dollars to training military workers "I know I feel good about a $2 billion jetthat can only fly in certain, 'optimum,' conditions." to learn the skills of rebuilding the infrastructure.What about the highly skilled labor, though? That isn't too hard, either. If nothing else, Boeing has "HelpWanted" signs posted in every department. Even the Center for Defense Information, which promotesresponsible military spending and is comprised of retired high-ranking military officers, reportscontinuing to fund projects similar to the B-2 bomber is a waste of money. We need to watch out,though; the military industry will fight hard to save itself by filling campaign re-election coffers, a goodexample of where actions speak louder than words. The people of this nation want the budgetbalanced. First, start by cutting defense spending - the cold war is over. Second, re-allocate the money to fund social programs, .such as health care for children and the National Endowment for the Arts, andwith the remaining funding, institute a program to help rebuild the thousands of pothole-filled roads,aging schools and unsafe buildings and bridges. Last time I checked, it did not cost $2 billion to build aschool; Haggard Hall alone is costing somewhere around $22 million to renovate. With the $1.8 billionleft over from one less plane, we could fund many other projects and still have money left over for a taxbreak. We could even, Jesse Helms forbid, pay off our $1- billion debt to the United Nations. Whenmaking the budget, lawmakers seem to have trouble cutting useless, wasteful and vote-gatheringprograms. However, it is time for members of Congress to put the partisanship aside and consider whatis best for the more than 250 million people of the United States of America. After lawmakers do such agreat thing for the people, they could go down in history as the Congress that instituted real campaign-finance reform, too. | l ^ ^ | i ^ B | | i | | i ^ u s content.

Two Weeks Before Homecoming, 1949 With the 1949 Homecoming now but two weeks away, members of. „the various committees dedicated to making this year's celebration a. long-to-be-remembered success, are busily engaged in their final preparations. Activities officially got under way this morning with the nomination of candidates for the coveted honor of Queen Sigrid XII, Homecoming ruler. Homecoming co-chairmen John Hill and Barbara Hodges have '—— :—^announced that the events this X"* • AA* vear will follow the theme of Costume Mixer Will Feature Mother Goose Departing from the usual convention, the committee for the Homecoming mixer has announced that costumes will be in order for the dance, to be held Friday, October 21. .Following closely the theme for the Homecoming skits, the idea of "Fairyland" or the "Children's Hour" will prevail at the mixer, and should provide all students with a chance to turn up costumed in something really original. To stimulate enthusiasm, the committee has decided to give prizes for the most original costumes. Because of the limited time interval between the bonfire, Homecoming assembly, and Homecoming mixer on that evening, students will be allowed to wear their costumes to the assembly so that they can go directly to the mixer from the assembly. Those students who will be participating in the skits may wear their skit costumes to the mixer, which gives them a slight advantage over the others, so everyone should get busy on his costume right away. The committee urges, "get y o u r s e l f a book of- Mother Gooose, decide what you want to have for a costume, work feverishly during the next two weeks getting it ready, and then wear your masterpiece to the big Homecoming mixer on Friday evening, October 21, in the junior high gym. Who knows— you may win the prize!" Dateline . Friday, October 7 — Bellingham churches hold open house, evening. Saturday, October 8—Camera club field trip.

Western Washington college this fall is beginning its fifty-first year, and in so doing, promises to begin another chapter to remember. The events of Friday, October 21—including the pep-rally, parade, assembly, and mixer—are to be cehteN ed on the theme of the "Children's Hour" because this denotes the fact that. WWC's coming term is the ber ginning of its "second childhobd." On Saturday, October 22, Homecoming week-end reaches its climax in the afternoon gridiron tussle with the Whitworth Pirates. Preceding the-football game is the annual. Homecoming luncheon, and Homecoming 1949 comes to a close Saturday night with the "W" club-sponsored' dance. TOO MANY. So many students responded to the request for help on the.Hqmer coming committees that it-was ira-possible to assign work for all. However, a list of those who signed up is being kept for reference so that those who^are genuinely, interested in school activities will have the opportunity- to serve at some future date during the school year.- Tickets, Please! Unfortunately, at each home football game a few students loan their student activities tickets - to non-students and then attempt to gain admission to the game by explaining to the gatemen that they forgot their activities ticket. i i^i Please bear in mind that admission to home games is by SIGNED student activities: ticket. If a student fails to present a SIGNED student activities ticket at the gate, gatemen will not admit the student on personal recognition. ,;•: ?£;••• VETERANS COMPRISE gt; "- 30% OF STUDENT BODY U Veteran students attending Western Washington college on the G.

It is your chance to become firmly entrenched in Western's social life and extra-curricular activities! It is your opportunity to form a well-rounded school existence for the coming year! It is your chance to insure a school year full of activity and enjoyment! IT IS THE CLUB CARNIVAL WEDNESDAY AT 7:30 P. M. (See story page one.) That old cliche about ail work and no play making Jack a dull boy is probably just as true today as ever and carnival co-chairmen Donnell Mosier, Pat Wright, and Ralph Brown have really taken it to heart. They seem to be bending backwards to see that no one misses out on Western's abundant activity program. Great praise and appreciation is due them from every student at WWC. Following a short assembly in the auditorium, you will be given a chance to interview four clubs in which you may be interested. As you will notice in your Navigator, there Is a wide variety from which to choose. There should be at least four clubs in which any student would be interested, but you are not obligated to join any one. The idea is just to look over the field. After the interview, all the students will meet in the lounge for a social get-together and more opportunity to meet with club members. .... This is your chance to get in on the inside of the clubs of your choice. It's up to you; so grab i t! Let's Hope Joe College, Like 'OW Man ^River', Just Keeps Rolling Since our wonderful U.S.A. is but a tender youth in a world of elderly nations, most of its present day units of life and learning, such as colleges, had their humble origin not so many decades ago. That heart-warming scene in which a.handful of national scholars gathered at the entrance way of a modest building, still in the throes of construction, to await the arrival of their institution's first student —that scene so familiar to us through speeches and general reading, and its successive scene, the coming of the young scholar-to-be whb has walked across 99 miles of hills and meadows and streams . . . Yes, with the exception of those early-established New England models of Old World schooling, the American college is a comparative new corner to the advanced usage of paper and pen, figures and chalk. And in viewing the scholastic picture from the standpoint of far-away places and strange-sounding names, Joe College has made really fantastic strides since he attended some desert institution catering to the art of making mummies or a scientific haven for undergraduate book-binders. Joe College probably had a lounge then where he could grab a cup of Danube river water and a few ancient drags of Turkish tobacco, but the comparison with today soon sizzles out. Did ol' Joe have school colors? He was probably black and blue from the terrific pace of his ancient alma mater. But seriously editorializing, we're mighty lucky to have such a wonderous school as Western. Most of all we should feel a deep pride for the advancements scored; by our nation in the field of collegiate learning. Let's all hope that Joe College, like the river in the song; "Just keeps rollin'along." A Kentucky colonel always closed his eyes when he took a drink and one day someone asked him why. T^^j^r'iif^i-iii^iooi^UUab, suh," the colonel explained,,"always makes my mouth watah, wuh and Ah do not care to dilute mah drink." Out On. Limb, Doctor Claims By LEX MILTON In view of the ever increasing housing shortage at WWC, Dr. Tur-ums W. Ithbaath, housing expert, has started a "back-to-nature" movement. He has also expressed the hope that college officials will not by-pass his plan merely because of its apparent simplicity, for he reminds us that mighty foliage from from little nuts evolve. As Dr. Ithbaath explains it, "If the housing shortage has gotten you out on a limb . . . stay there. In all probability there is another over your head (limb), which, although it isnot as good as a roof, is better than the starry skies if you can't see said stars because of prevailing precipitation." The good doctor goes on to point out that the Pinnhed Indians of Lower Subhor-malia have lived in trees for years without any noticeable defects— other than tails. And as he says, "tails can be easily hidden in modern clothing unless mother wears tights." Showing his outstanding versatility, Dr. I. has also taken up another aspect of the situation. In his 400- page pamphlet entited, "Down and Out Over Housing," or "Living in a Fox Hole is O. K. If the Foxes Can Stand It," he tells us how . some ingenious students at Pneumonia university lived four years in a furnished cave. Dr. Ithbaath urges that all students having housing difficulties contact him immediately in his office on the fourth floor of the new music building, second scaffold to the right of tne elevator shaft. The "Back-to-Nature" housing drive will continue from September 31 to November 31. Dr. I. emphatically states, "Don't be bashful. Swing up and tell old uncle Turums your troubles. Also hair cut cheap." Interclub Council Is Clearing House Next Wednesday evening when the annual club carnival swings into action there will be 18'Western Washington college clubs represented. Coordinating the activities of these 18 clubs is the Interclub council. This group is composed of representatives of all the various cubs in the college. The council which handles many of the weighty problems of the student body integrates the activities of the 18 clubs. One of the biggest jobs of the council is to promote the activities and the interests of all the clubs and organizations of the college and to see that all the clubs conform to standards laid down by the group. Among the womens' clubs to be represented are: the Valkyrie and Off-Campus Women's club. The Valkyrie girls are the cute gals in the blue sweaters. They are Western's official pep grup. Off-Campus women are a social group of women not living in organized houses. They sponsor mixers, candy sales and other social affairs.

Allotted $6.00 for a magazine subscription to be used by publications staffs and-journalism classes which had previously been stricken from the budget.

Important changes in teacher certification procedures affecting nearly every student of WWC enrolled in the teacher education curriculum were announced by the state board of education during the summer. The purpose of these new regulations is to provide for a general certificate replacing both the elementary and secondary certificates by 1951. The state boatd of education in meeting on June 24, 1949, adopted the following regulations pertaining to establishment of a general certificate: 1. A qualifying, general certificate valid for one year, renewable annually to a total of four years, is to be issued following four. years successful pre-service education. .. 2. One continuous year of initial teaching experience is to follow pre-service education. 3. A fifth year of teacher education at the graduate level is to be required following initial teaching experience and prior to issuance of a permanent general certificate. This fifth year must begin during the first year after initial teaching experience either as a full year or as summer school, preferably the former. • v:4. No qualifying general certificate is to be issued prior to July 1, 1OT1. 5. No permanent general certificate is to be issued prior to July 1, 1953. WWC will continue to offer elementary and secondary certificates during the transition period to students graduating before August, 1951. Entering students and students who have completed less' than two years wilLhave little difficulty adjusting to the new requirements adopted by WWC in accord with the new certification procedures. Students who have completed more than two years will adjust to the new pattern as far as possible. However, no student who has followed the regular teacher education schedule will be expected to spend additional time in order to conform to the new requirements. Believing that the needs of youth will be served best by providing teachers who are equipped to teach at either elementary or secondary level, the state board of education has stated that every teacher should have sound understanding of the whole cycle of. human growth and development an* nave experience in working with youth at several different age levels between the kindergarten and the twelfth grade. Accordingly,- the program 'for student teaching will soon be expanded to enable undergraduates to obtain laboratory experences with both elementary and secondary student groups. , ONE TO FOUR Under the program for the new general certficate, the student's initial teaching experience is regarded as an integral part of the program of teacher education. This period must last at least one year and no more than four years, with each teacher having the option of returning to a recognized training institution for one continuous year following his first year of teaching or attending four sunlmer sessions. The program of studies for the fifth year of-college work is to be selected by the student with the guidance of those who have worked with him during his period of initial teaching and the advisors in the institution in which he will be studying. The student may choose any approved institution for this fifth year but it is the responsibility of his pre-service institution to assist the student in planning his program for the final year and upon its completion to-recommend him for the permanent general certificate. , . FOLLOW THROUGH The state board ot education plans to take the lead in fostering cooperative effort to follow through with each student until he completes his final year and in fostering the improvement of the teacher education programs in each college. Vilcs Cheered On to Cheney By Loyal Fans By MORRIE KNUTZEN Last Saturday morning a group of about 50 faithful Viking rooters gathered on the blacktop in front of the gymnasium to see the team off to Cheney.

Game time is scheduled for 8 o'clock. John Jurkovich, W. Brock, J. Knutson and Jack Guyot compose the Gladiators backfield, and as Coach Lappenbusch says: "All of their backfield can pass, and they all do once they get started. Our job is to see that they DON'T get underway." To cope with the Lutes' passing offensive, coach Lappenbusch has a reshuffled his defensive squad—Bre-vick and Yonlick at the tackle spots, Lambert at guard, does end, and either Svidran or Kosar at the other end. The defensive backfield will place emphasis on height and speed. Rufus Winter, Jack Roberts, Jerry Karnofski, Everett Tiland, Tom Stevens, and Lowell Nash will keep loose passes from connecting in the backfield. The offensive line-up will be Partlow and Prevelle, ends, and Brevick and Richardt, tackles, and Compton and Currier, guards, and Rasmussen and Gorud, centers. The quarterback is Lindbloom, with Tom Taylor and Roy Richardsan hand-' ling halfback slots. Fullback is Hash. —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Big Bill Currier .^will help the Vikings push home a strong offense against the Lutes tomorrow night. Currier's fine offensive play makes him one of the outstanding guards in the conference. In the 1948 season Bill was named all conference guard, while at Linfield college in 1947, guard Currier made the little all-American mention. Clarence Marshall, former writer on the Collegian, is a member of the pitching staff of the New York Yankees. Clary is a Bellingham boy who went into big league baseball immediately following high school. He is credited with three Yankee wins. John Jurkovich of PLC can pass, kick, and run, and as a result is a constant threat on offense. He is one of the better passers in the Evergreen conference and will be candidate for All-Conference honors. He will meet the Vikings tomorrow nil**.:: ••.'; SKATELAND LET'S GO SKATING TONIGHT 7:30 to 10:30 CLAMP SKATES 50c SHOE SKATES 75c Wednesday Through Sunday Saturday and Sunday, 1:00-3:00 1417 State St. H H SPORTING GOODS CO Agents for Spalding Athletic Equipment 13288 Commercial St Phone4937 Complete Cleaning Service "Our Experience and Equipment Is Your Guarantee of Quality'' Vienna Cleaners Inc. 206 East Magnolia Phone 265 WHEN THEY SAY ; , . - • - ' MUELLER'S THEY MEAN PAUL MUELLER Bellingham's Leading JEWELER 1305 Cornwall Ave. V-fild anbli 181- en . .... by Ken Western's line was in Eastern's backfield so often last Saturday they almost had to erect signals to direct traffic. When one of the Savages* highly rated scatbacks did slither through, the pony express defensive squad tailed" and nailed them. Everybody played good football, and the only difference between victory or defeat was a debatable pass-interference call. If the official had interpreted the action a trifle differently the outcome would have been . . . but that's football. ~ — Several of the traveling dignitaries (that who's-who of Evergreen football) were aghast at the proficiency of straight-line defense in football!' They were also lavish in their praise of Norm Hash, Tom Taylor, Mel Lindbloom and others of the offensive assembly. Scouting plays is an important part in modern football, and Eastern was well scouted. One of their-backfield men, after being ruggedly tackled, struggled to his feet and asked Roy Richardson how the Vikings knew where the Savages were going on every play. PLC arrives tomorrow. They bring to town one of -the best attacks in the league. Jurkovich and company know how to pass a • ball, and once started, refuse to quit. On the assumption that the fa line of the locals will make life miserable for the Lutes, this column, will now endeavor to conjecture. If Coach Lappenbusch can get a- little more polish and scoring punch in his offensive eleven they should be a touchdown better. Retraction! In the last edition of the WWCollegian there appeared on the sports page two pictures which had misleading undercuts attached to them. Under a cut of Frank Gay da the caption stated that Gay da was an end and a reserve on this year's squad. This was wrong. Gay da is not at present enrolled at Western. The caption under the cut of A! Weber stated that Weber was slated to go to Cheney. As Weber started turning out for the squad only last week this was also wrong. We apologize to our readers for these errors. B. B. FURNITURE CO.

Budding Newsmen Do Real Thing in Colleges, Services In colleges all over the land, a study shows, thousands of aspiring newspaper men and women, are dreaming of futures as foreign correspondents, columnists and sports editors, while they tackle the chores of producing collegiate publications. Many schools, like Universities of California, Minnesota, and Washington, sponsor daily papers of standard size. In editorial capacities comparative to those of commercial papers, the budding hopefuls achieve considerable experience, the study indicates. Papers range from daily to monthly publications and reach the readers hands in a variety of sizes. Although the majority of these are tabloid in format, the survey indicates a change to more standard sized papers.

Holly St. By DORICS PUTNAM Weather forecast for Bellingham and vicinity for the next six months: cloudy with probable continuous rain. Yes, the annual rains will soon start, and, for some' unfortunate people, this means the beginning of those long treks up High street in the down pour. Such an example of continually drenched, washed out humanity is Chester Chitterwaker, a poor WWC student living near the bottom of High street. Chester's day begins when at 7:00 a. m., he awakens to the feeble ringing of his alarm clock, accompanied by the famiilar "drip, drop, splat" of rain coming through the hole in the roof of his room. Tearing himself from his mildewing bed,. Chester begins dressing and soon discovers that he unfortunately has left his shoes beneath the "drip." Emptying out the water, he sops up some of the moisture with an old Kleenex, and after a struggle, succeeds in pulling them on hs icy feet. Donning 'his raincoat (still, wet from yesterday), and taking his six textbooks and six small notebooks in his arms, Chester goes squish-squashing outside, water spraying from his shoes at every step. of Alaska has a newspaper these days with all the cold facts. Also rated high in the field of amateur publications are those of the armed forces. Nearly every army post, air force base and navy ship or station, the study shows, has an official paper. The majority of service journalists are youths who will enter college upon discharge, and it is indicated, that school publications are bound to profit from the background and experience they bring with them. .Standing outside the/ house,: *»[ looks sorrowfully up the lei^Ui^! the hill, then with a sigh, 3 p | ^ ^ on his way.

Anyone desiring to place a team in the league has three more days to do so. ^Intramural director, Sam Carver, will be very glad to help anyone desiring more information.

Holly Phone 19 Women's Rec Group Sponsorsfiadminton Recently, in quite a few colleges, WWC included, the Women's Athletic 'Association was changed to the Women's Recreation Association. Why, you ask? So that more of the women students will be attracted to the recreational side of college life. Those women who aren't interested in the more active, sports that WRA offers, can still belong to some of the clubs that the WRA includes. Some of these are the Modern Dance club, the Riding club, the Badminton club, and the Blue Barnaces. The WRA has a cabin on beautiful Sinclair island (one of the San Juan group) where the WRA club holds outings throughput the year. For your information, WWC was one of the first colleges to change from WAA to WRA. Colleges all over the nation are making the change. All these belong to the federation of the Women's Recreation Association. ^ • Men's Suits, Slacks, Topcoats 1308 Commercial Phone 361 MEET YOUR FRIENDS At The High Holly Service Station Evergreen Tilt With Cheney Squad Western's blue-dad Vikings pulled the first scare of the Evergreen league this«year, as they held the co-champions of Eastern Washington to a 13 to 6 win last Saturday night. _ It was Western's passing attack that almost pulled the upset for the Vikings. / Eastside reports had the Savages of Cheney four to six touchdowns over the Blue and White, but that was before the game. Eastern kicked off to the Hill-toppers and after an exchange of downs, the Savages held the ball on their own thirteen. Meriel Michel-son, who was in Western's hair all evening, broke through the line and looked like he was going the 87 yards for a touchdown, but Jack Roberts, half of the mighty-mites combination, caught him from behind on the Viks 13. From this point the defensive squad took over and held the Red and White. TAYLOR TO PARTLOW After an exchange of fumbles and pass interceptions, Tom Taylor and his left arm started warming up. Hal "Mutt" Partlow took two of Taylor's passes and made a WWC touchdown. Hal's task wasn't as easy as it sounds. The first pass from Taylor was a good one, but there were three Eastern men covering Partlow. Somehow, however, Hal came down with the ball, and it put Western on the eight yard line of the Savages. Taylor threw a coffin corner pass to Partlow, a little low and in front of him, but a diving catch put the Viks ahead six to nothing. Walt Clayton's kick was wide, and the first half score read: Western 6, Eastern 0. OUCH Eastern started out fast in the second half, and soon took the lead away from the Vikings. After the kickoff and return to Eastern's 25, it took the Savages eight plays to tie the score at 6 to 6. The try-for-point was good, and Eastern had'a 7 to 6 lead. Three minutes after the first Announcing . .

Eight seemed to be the Eastern boys lucky number as it took them just that many plays to score their sec-' dnd touchdown, which completed the nights scoring. The try-for-point was blocked by the whole Western line. Western's passing boys gained a lot of attention from the crowd. Some of the comments picked up were, "Everybody passes on Western's squad," and "Is there anyone that doesn't pass on that team?" Western's whole lineup-^both the offensive and defensive teams-played superb ball. Norm Hash did a workhorse roll. When there were holes Norm went through them, when there wasn't, Mr. Hash made one. Jerry Karnofski and Mike Kosar also played heads up ball on the defensive rolls. Jack Roberts and Roy Richardson, the mighty-mite twins, stood out on both the offensive and defensive rolls} Don't forget that ball game tomorrow night afe* Battersby field as the Vikings take on the Pacific Lutheran Gladiators.

A modern ballet; "Lilac Garden"-was the first presentation that opened on a scene in which the entire-stage and the dancers were displayed in.striking colors of blue. With swanlike grace and supple agility, Nora Kaye/danced the part of the bride-to-be who attempts, to say a fond farewell to her real lover before leaving with her betrothed. Outstanding also were Hugh Laing, as the lover, and Maria KamiloVa as an Episode, in his Past. The ballet was danced to music by Chausson as played by the company's orchestra. With great sensibility, the violin.played the lyric melody that contained all the charm and pureness of this French impressionist Chausson. ^ i. . . ' . . ' ' . ' ;— Roman Court Setting In the regal splendor of a Roman Court, the ballet "Princess Aurora" found Its magnificent setting. Before the royal couple, many varied types of dances were performed to the dramatic and powerful music of Peter Tschaikowsky. Outstanding was the dance "Rose Adagio" (Princess Aurora and the four princes) which contained all the magnificent grace of a century gone by. Nana Gollner as Princess Aurora was the epitome of breathtaking grace as she performed eight complete consecutive turns on one foot." The three Ivans,, Nicholas Orloff, Stanley Herbert, and Fernando Al-onso, were good for a laugh as they displayed themselves as being nothing short of the Marx Brothers with their dance of \ suspiciously Russian 'origin. With costumes of exquisite' aquamarine colors and to a flowing melody, Rosella Hightower and: Andre Eglevsky were outstanding as they danced the four variations of the "Bluebird." Filial Ballet Amuses The final ballet, "Helen of Troy," concerns Paris, and the manner in which the flight with .Helen of Troy was accomplished, i n a bouffant and burlesque manner, the ballet was extremely amusing. Completely captivating was the capricious Lamb as portrayed by Patricia Barker, although she was not to be • outshone by. the group of very, convincing sheep. The rake of the group was Jerome Robbins ;as gt;Hermes who did everything from .knitting furiously to counting the number of people in the audience. Amid all this turmoil there was some seriousness ,as found in a beautiful solo executed .by .Nana .Gollner (Helen), -In/ keeping with the livelinessof the balled was the; • Edens Hall received the attention of the entire Bellingham fire department Wednesday night, and it wasn't a purely social call either. There was a fire 1 ! ! '• After dinner, the girls on third floor found all of their rooms full of smoke. The. root of all the trouble (and we do mean the, fire) turned out to be room 322, and an iron that was left On. Rachel Blekkink proved the heroine of the day, with the fire extinguisher (which; by the way, had never been used before), Miss Blekkink put out the flame. The accusing . way the firemen looked at the girls, they, were glad that they had some proof that there had been a fire and that the whole thing wasn't just a false alarm.

Today's assembly period was given over to meetings of the AWS, in the auditorium, and of the Norsemen's club ni Room 220. Rachel Blekkink and Herb Witt, club presidents opened their respective meetings. AWS commission members demonstrated to the women students in two scenes the duties of commission. Wiht Alice Marie Anderson as M. C, the first scene showed comically what is not done at commission meetings. In the second scene, the regular commission meeting which would ordinarily fa,U on Tuesday, March 7, was held on the stage before Associated Women Students. Speaking on a topic of current interest concerning Russia, deba-tors from the University of Washington will participate, in the assembly for Tuesday, March 7. Postponed from last Tuesday's assembly hour, a one-act play, "Happy journey," will be presented by Victor H. Hoppe's drama students in» the assembly Friday, March 10. A musical 'program presented by the music department on Tuesday, March 14,"will be the final assembly for the quarter.

This tea, and the presentation of complimentary tickets for the showing of "Brief Music" at the Theater Guild playhouse Saturday night, composed the college contribution to the entertainment of the annual winter G.R. conference. Plans for the afternoon were made under chairman Doris Tedford's supervision, with Blue Triangle and AWS as co-sponsors of the affair. Following the tea, the girls were divided into small groups and taken on campus tours. \$evib P.obek. Members of the AWS are still urging WWC students to donate their 75 cents which will send the WWCollegian to one serviceman for a year. According to Peggy Custer, chairman, the committee hopes to collect 50 dollars before the end of the drive. Posters on display in the hails ask everyone to give their dimes, nickels, quarters, -and dollars to this worthy cause, and charts on the front of the collecting booth record the progress of, the drive' according to classes. CiI VIC use Olympia Supervisor Workshop Member • This week, we present another member of the workshop staff to be on the campus during the summer session. Possessing a miaster's degree from Washington State College and formerly principal of the Wilson school at Spokane, Miss Suzan Lacey, will center her interests with the primary curriculum teachers this summer. At present, Miss Lacey is on leave from Spokane as primary supervisor in the state department of education at Olympia. The correction comes from the President's office that Miss Baldwin, who it was mentioned last week, would teach spring quarter, will not be a member of the WWC staff until the summer workshop session. Marshall, Gilday Go South to Bat • Clarence Marshall, freshman, and Jim Gilday, senior, are scheduled to leave on the 11:30 train from Seattle tonight for Bakers-field, California, where they both will go. into spring training for the Seattle Rainiers.

Shown 'Brief Music' • Bellingham's little theatre, the Civic Playhouse, presented "Brief Music," a guest play from WWC last Thursday, Friday, and Satur-, day. "All three performances were wonderful," commented Shirley Olson, student director. "Working in an unfinished theater is no dream, but this was sure a lot of fun." Casualties Few "There were very few casualties considering the conditions we were under," said Beverly Mc Nalley, who took care of the properties and had fairly a hard time getting props on the stage and off for the various scenes. Assistants Kept Busy Patsy Jacobsen prompted froni a: cat-walk above the main curtain, for the cast felt they couldift have gotten along without her. During the performance, Miss Olson was kept busy pulling curtains and seeing that last minute preparations were made. Director V. H. Hoppe, of the speech department, came backstage Saturday night during the per^ formance and stated, "My, this is going fine. I've been sitting out front enjoying eyery minute, of it." Hoppe Gives Party Following the performance Sat* urday night, the cast: Hannah Rheimer, Pat Bright, Merrie Virginia Erlandson, Ardelle Natale, Jean Knudsen, Elaine Dahlgren, and Mary Louise Burke, and prop girls, Beverly McNalley, Patsy Jacobsen, and Peggy Custer were rewarded with a party at the home of Mr. Hoppe. ... The cast felt as if there should be more performances; but they say they would require more of Mrs. Hoppe's chocolate cake if the-play were ever presented again. Honor Veteran Miller Home Lt.

Mrs/Reynolds explained further how her husband's interest in photographing birds in their natural habitat soon developed into a family hobby. At present, her husband. Dr. Eric Reynolds, now serving with the naval forces in the South Pacific, is still following his boyhood hobby by photographing birds native to those regions, while Mrs. Reynolds, a son, and a daughter, continue at home. As a result of five years' work, the outdoor loving, Reynolds family has recorded in kodakrome the habits and peculiarities of over seventy species of their feathered friends by attracting the birds to their own backyard garden in the San Francisco Bay area or by pursuing them, camera in hand, through the woodlands of the Pacific coast. Included in the 10,000 feet of film are close-ups of all types of birds from the tiny humming bird,, which Mrs. Reynolds smilingly describes as "the loveliest tiling in nature that anyone could see," to the graceful heron, "the most common and beautiful of the coastal birds."' Mrs. Reynolds' lecture and movie has been presented to numerous colleges and organizations along the West coast, and she plans to travel to New York in the near future. Bird photography proves to be challenging as well as interesting to Mrs. Reynolds who points out, "You have to be a little smarter than the birds to catch them in their natural habitats.

They are now living in Tudor City, a small district in New York, although according to Mrs. Booth's letter, they have lived in almost every port of the east and west coast, wherever Booth's duties have called him. They recently visited Pvt. Ross Tibbies, former WWCer, and his new bride, at Monmouth Beach, New Jersey, near where Tibbies is stationed. Woman of the Week Everyone knows that music is the favorite pastime of our spotlight woman this week Fourteen years of study have made her an accomplished pianist, and a willing one, too, when someone is in need of an accompanist. She loves popular music to dance to,, not to play. She calls dancing her favorite sport. Banana cream pie and ice cream are her favorite foods, but not together. Math is her preference at school, and she's a whiz. Her favorite male is—but that's quite obvious—she wears a new "sparkler." . . She graduated from Bellingham high school in 1942—that makes her a soph now—as valedictorian of her class.. The woman our "evil eye" falls on this week came to Bellingham in 1939 from We-natchee where she was born some nineteen years ago. Only (six months later she was going steady with the man she is now engaged to. She herself will remind you that that was the last leap year, and that she got her ring very early in.this one. Her long list of activities will be a dead give-away, for it includes Valkyrie, Blue Triangle. Scholarship Society, AWS corrf-mission, and war activities board. Now you might as well know. Henry Von Bargen's the lucky guy, "and Doris Tedford, the Woman of the Week. Lt. Junkin expressed his appreciation for receiving the college paper. He said that it looked as good to him as the New York Times. Among the V-12's, home on va-cation from the U. of W. this week were Lawrence Johnson, Earl Nort-vedt, Milton MacFarland, Sheldon Wilkins, and Dick Verrill, all former students of WWC.

"This party really has its points." • This is but a sample of the conversation in the air at 727 Garden street last Sunday evening. Pleased as pink as the ration stamps they held, six lucky library workers and Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, head librarian, were guests at the apartment of Miss Pearl Reese, secretary to the librarian. Food and entertainment were strictly on -the point basis with. Miss Reese manufacturing the ration books (wait till the OPA hears about this). The SFSSWWCEL, alias the guests, took turns serving a dreamy dinner and, later, related events from their past history according to the numbers of their ration stamps. After a few widely varying reactions had been given concerning the Publications Prom, the conversation reverted to the subject of H20. Included among these impromptu dissertations were "How to Drown in a Steamship Bathtub," Crystal Ackerman's version of "Paddling Your Own Canoe," "Water Skiis," and "Sharks in the South Pacific." The general disadvantages of salt, sulphur, mineral and Bellingham water were also discussed. When the party came to a close, the last ration points proved the best as each guest was rewarded with a flower from the lovely centerpiece. Staff Shindig Sends Cub to Rainiers • Clarence Marshall, WWC freshman, was given a noisy goodbye by members of the Collegian staff, who surprised him with a farewell party in the Publications office last Tuesday evening, prior to his departure this evening for Bakersfield, California, to begin spring training with the Seattle Rainiers. As a small token of their friendship, the staff members presented him with a half dozen pairs of bright colored socks. Refreshments were served and included an appropriately decorated cake expressing the staff's hopes of good luck for Clarey.

Both men have shown a great deal of promise, and are expected to stick with Seattle all season. SPRING SPORTS PROGRAM Already thoughts of many students and faculty have turned to next quarter, and to the intramural sports program. Softball was the first thing that came to the minds of the intramural leaders. However, they are faced with the problem of not having enough boys in school to form a league among the men students. Last summer this difficulty was overcome by the formation of a mixed intramural league, with the girls choosing the sides. Though there is some opposition to this plan, because it has not proved too successful in years past, it seems the only logical solution to the intramural problem. • GIRLS DISTRIBUTE MALES •A set-up like this would give £he girls a chance to evenly distribute the male strength among the various teams, and still have the bulk of each team made up mostly of girls. Those interested should let the advisers, Chuck Lappenbusch, Sam Carver, or Miss Virginia Hawke know what the •student opinion is towards such a program.. In any event, the girls have enough material to form a league of their own. So maybe the men can do the cheering for,a while. • ' SHORT SHOTS It is rumored around the campus that Chuck Pomeroy is making plans to continue his education in Tacoma. Seeing the terrific time they had to get him to leave last Saturday night, it's understandable—Looking into the future again, it seems likely that we will have a fair casaba team next year... The hoop squad should be thrilled by the tea being held in their honor Friday at U.B.C. (Tea, toast and custard is their pre-grame menu)— Two more men gone, the odds are getting larger and larger, if a gal hooks a man now she'll be getting a long shot, according to the bookies—Alice Marie Anderson is a poet, as well as one of the best girl athletes in school. She has just turned out a master-piece called, "The Hygiene Class," and her next, according to publicity advances will be titled, "Teaching Swimming."— Talking of swimming, it is the hope of many students that there*-- will be an all-school swimming meet this quarter... A few of our aqua-ducks want a chance at cracking some of those school records. Spring Has Sprung*.... • Tennis and track will have varsity teams this year even though there is little likelihood of finding any competition. Sam, Carver, the track coach, is expecting a few boys to turn out, but believes that there is no likely chance of getting any meets. "The coast conference has abandoned all spring sports except for intramural purposes find the man problem in the rest of the north-, west schools makes it impossible for them to field teams," stated Carver. "I have tried to line up a meet with PLC and a few of the other schools but have had little luck so far," he added. Chuck Lappenbusch has decided to combine his beginning and varsity tennis groups for competitive purposes. "I may be able to work out some type of intramural tennis program with the student interested in tennis in this way," predicted Lappy He continued, "It also will nelp in teaching the classes, as there will. be more^to play and those a little more advanced may be able to help in improving a beginner. There is every slight chance of lining up some meets, but that all hinges on the number turning out for varsity tennis." •'••*: • Tentative plans for a spring sports program have been outlined by the heads of the intramural activities. A softball league with mixed teams has been considered due to the lack of men. Miss Virginia Hawke, girls' adviser, explanied that there would be a girls' competition started first, and if enough girls showed interest. in the game, a mixed league may be tried. "The big trouble," she explained, "is in arousing enough interest to start thq girls' league alone. Then, when they combine with the boys they don't turn out because they are not confident enough in their ability to play ball. "However, if the girls will turn out for a mixed league I believe it would be a fine thing to have in our spring intramural program," added the girls' adviser. Coaches Carver and Lappenbusch believe that if the girls were allowed to pick the teams, and placed the boys in the most essential spots, the teams would be of about the same strength and have the same weaknesses. These instructors would like to. know the opinion of the students to this plan, especially the girls. \ Viks Play UBC • The Western Washington Vikings will meet the University of British Columbia quintet this noon in Vancouver, B. C. A game with the Combines, an independent team in Vancouver, was dropped because of conflicting dates. This game may prove to be the last of the season for the fast improving blue and white squad, although Coach Lappenbusch is endeavoring to line up a few more contests before bringing the season to a close. Two more victories for the home club would give them an even break for their season schedule. Recipe Makes Great Team Why ask the ouija board? It's just plain logic. What? Why, the record for next year's basketball squad. How come? Tell you what I'm going to do. . . . " Let's make out a recipe for next season and theorize as- to the .result cooked up. For a starter, let's shoot in a goodly portion of "Rubber Legs" Wark; after all, he was a starter all year. Then for a base to mold our delicacy around, we ought to use about six feet four inches of "Gunboat Sivertson. With feet like his, he not only makes a good base, but also displaces a lot of floor space. Shortening, is always an integral • part of any concoction, so, we had better shoot in a bit of "Shorty" Witt to fill out the mixture. Although he may be a bit lardy, a touch of impurity won't stop him from going under them, if he can't make it over them. Now to give smoothness to our texture we must impart a bit of "Rabbi" (smooth customer) Foster to the ingredients. (Another way to get smoothness in an ingredient is by whipping or beating it well; but, it is doubtful whether Chuck Pomeroy will be around to do it, if you know what I mean). The last but not least of the essentials for our brow is a bit of spice, which can be taken of merely by dropping in a bit of "Fireball" Ooud. With his pepper and ginger, there should be no lack of tang in the dish. Nevertheless, it v may not be sweet enough for some; therefore, there might be a slight chance of "getting a bit of "Sugar" Ross, if not rationed by the army, or "Ankles" Marshall, if Seattle priorities aren't too great. If the dish is still not palatable by this time, a small dash of "Rab-bitt" Gilday will make it more runny and add a meaty flavor. This may not add the necessary touch, and if it doesn't help we might as well throw' it out in the refuse with Moe and Burklund. All punning aside, and no offense meant, a sunny future is in store for the basketball, fans at WWC, as a goodly number of this years squad are returning next year. With the WRA ... • Blue Barnacles will be hostess to a group of high school girls next Monday at 4 p. m. The High School Splash party should be a huge success since much enthusiasm has been shown toward the event. Refreshments also will be served at this final winter-quarter meeting of Blue Barnacles. And what about the refreshment committee? Seems as if these same three girls —Crystal, Rachel, and Alice-Marie —just love to serve on this committee!! WWC Vikings Swamp CPS Loggers 67-48 By CLARENCE MARSHALL • Overcoming an early College of Puget Sound lead, the WWC Vikings won their second basketball game in three days with an easy 67 to 48 win over the Loggers in Tacoma last Saturday night. The CPS squad, made up entirely of army trainees, jumped into an 8 to 1 lead early in the contest. The lead was shortlived, however, as the Viking quintet, led by Paul Foster, came back strong and, while holding the Loggers to but one point, tallied 18 themselves to take a comfortable 19 to 9 lead at the quarter. Viks Lead 34 to 20 At Half time At this point the first team of Wark, Sivertson, Ludwick, Munizza, and Ross, was inserted into the lineup and they continued to add to the total until the halftime rest with the Vikings leading 34 to 20. Beginning the second half, the blue and white hoopsters, led by Captain Ernie Ludwick, sank baskets from every angle to make 12 points in rapid succession. The Viks slowed down somewhat in the remaining minutes of the third quarter but still managed to in-© crease their lead to 30 points, 53 to 23. Loggers Threaten As the fourth quarter started, five new men entered the game for the Vikings and this was when the Loggers put on their rally. With but four minutes remaining in the game, the army men, led by little Bill Chorney, had cut the Vik's lead to 11 points and trailed 57 to 46. Coach Lappenbusch then started feeding his first stringers back into the game and the total again began to rise with the Vikings holding a 19-point advantage and winning handily, 67 to 48. Captain Ernie Ludwick led the locals with 11 points, but Bill Chorney, the midget speedball for CPS, took scoring honors for the evening with 23 counters.

Apgar Solves Date System • Something new under the moon is Apgar's monthless perpetual calendar on display in the lower hall of the library. If you're one of those forgetful people who have to recite "thirty days have September • april June and november" every time you date a letter, here is the answer to your prayer. Bearing a close resemblance to a logarithm table, Apgar's calendar arranges the days of the year first by quarters—the first, second, third and fourth. Within each quarter the weeks 'are numbered from one to thirteen and the days are laid out likewise with Saturday as number one and Sunday as seven. Being the mathematical brain you should be at this stage of the game, you astound your friends and influence people with dates that sound like a football formation. Asked, for your birthdate (which was October 25 last year) you rattle off 4/4/4, which translated means fourth quarter, the fourth week, and the fourth day of the year. Simple? Of course you are. For people who don't have such a sharp memory of what the number of the week is, the number* of certain holidays can be memorized as a landmark. Apgar has put some of the shifting "holidates" in a groove like the rest. This makes such holidays as Easter come on the same date each year. This calendar may become effective in 1}ie near future so don't put off investigating it. After all, according to Mr. Apgar, our present day calendar, is a mess. Wonder if he's seen the Varga Girl edition? ' Music Hath Charm So They Say . .. • During all the noise from the round card table, arid the battering of the ping pong ball, some similarity to music comes from the nickelodeon. Throughout the scurry and bustle in the student lounge Bob De Pastel, manager, and his hearty friends, while deep in the soul of a bounding game, will surprise any snoopy person with the familiar ridiculing of the Dumkoff language. "Mit a Heil Hitler, whare its dot cart! Hmpf!" Minus the swastika, the 3rd Reich speaking gents carry on a rather amusing conversation to say nothing of the motions that accompany it. Ah, yes, for relaxation there is nothing like a visit to the Student lounge. SEND THE : • " - . ' . • • ; : WWCollegian •.'•V TO '.- '.• SERVICEMEN : ' • " ' . . ' • • •.

Now, of course, there are a few who devote no time at all for this. Collecting? Sure that is the main pastime at hobby practice. Mary Jane MacDougall collects baby clothes, and Mary Louise Burke sees fit to collect a variety of "T" shirts; "Loud and flashy" is the motto says M. L.B. And when it comes to licking, it's Doris Bishop pasting all her stamps. Odd, but fascinating, is Elaine Dahlgren's collection of feathers, all colors, shapes, and sizes, mounted in a curious fashion. Shirley Olson has quite a collection of recorded op-epras. \ .For display and entertainment, its the variety of local product in great number. Helen Rabb maintains her hobby, singing, is one in a million. Then to see, (result of hard concentration and practice) Chuck Pomeroy dance and introduce all those fancy ideas, is nothing .short of great entertainment. Pat Gardiner's hobby is toe dancing. It's Paul Foster for display when he shows result of hobby in good fashion; swimming, with lots ,of tricks and stunts, Clarey Marshall has quite a scrapbbok on sports and personal. Gene Sivertson plays basketball for a hobby, and proves this is so because he practices all year around. Then, of course, Murray Goff's photography is quite an attraction. Exercising the key board and fingers, Tom Hillier lobbies his hobby as improvising on the piano. Criss Ackerman, whose aim is to play in a symphony orchestra, faithfully on her flute, producing a hobby that is worth listening to. Greater is the evidence that you ever know when some one is going to show that a hobby can mean most anything they accomplish on the side. Just wait and see. EVERGREEN THEATRES MT.

Tuesday night the Collegian staff had a big blow-out for Clarey Marshall, who is leaving for spring training camp this week. For the; affair we had a big cake all decorated which said "Good Luck Clarey." Some bright member piped up with "You'll need it." The party was loads of fun. We had lots to eat—tuna fish sandwiches, (the Collegian staff went fishing all afternoon), cookies and cake, ft was quite an eventful party too.

The CollegeChoir, Vocollegians, a Capella Choir, Dance Club, Men's Glee Club, College Quartet, Co-ed Choraliers,String Orchestra and Organ will combine talents to present a full program of Christmas music â€” fromWelsh â€” and English carols to classical pieces and contemporary compositions. CHRISTMAS INWORSHIP will be the theme of the first part of the concert, to be opened by the A Capella Choir with"God is With Us," featuring Clarice Bachman as soloist. Three songs by the Vocollegians, with HarleneUnderwood and Joyce Wold as soloists, are topped by three unusual numbers, "Negro Bell Carol,"Carol of the Birds," and "Carol of the Drum," chosen by the A Capella Choir to lead into the second part of the program theme, Christmas in Legend. CHRISTMAS IN LEGEND begins with a Spanish DanceCarol, "Fum, Fum, Fum." Dancing to the recorded voices of the Robert Shaw Chorale will be eightmembers of the Dance Club, under Dr. Emelia Kilby's direction. Men's Glee Club will sing "WinterSong," "Deck the H a l l s , " and "Boar's Head Carol." The latter two songs were arranged by JeromeGlass, director. "Thirty-Two Feet and Eight Little Tails" will be the feature song of the Men's Quartet."White Christmas" and Santa Claus is Coming to Town" will also be sung. Bernard Regier, director ofthe quartet, arranged the feature song.

Not Enough Elbow Room ByRONN BEAMS The joint student-faculty committee on the proposed Student Union Building turnedthumbs down on the latest architectural drawing Monday evening. It was decided to again reject theplans on the grounds that the Seattle firm had not taken account of suggestions submitted earlier. Dr.Merle Kuder, faculty member, said he thought that, Jones and Bindon's plans were "not in touch withreality." The arrangement of ASB offices, portable partitions, dance floor area, Co-op area, and theover-all building size were either disregarded or else modified without authority, they decided.CONSIDERABLE DEBATE is expected to mature in the committee over whether or not the Commons(a centralized dining area which will be constructed after the SUB) should be directly connected with thenew Union Building. If it is to be, then preparations will need to be made in the design of the SUB inorder to permit such an undertaking at the most reasonable cost. The gravest problem confronting thecommittee, however, is the amount of space already consumed by Co-op. Student Body President KenMoffett has suggested the possibility cf constructing a. separate building for the book store. With theexpected influx of students in the next few years the Co-op is likely to enlarge at an alarming pace.Moffett feels that to separate the book store from the SUB is the only feasible solution to allot for thisgrowth. Current plans' placed the publications departments in the basement (Continued on Page 4)Leads State in Growth Western is the fastest growing College in the state according to theWashington State Census Board. It was the first college to top its postwar enrollment peak. Westernhas 330 students over its previous high. The U of W is 1,500 students under its postwar peak andWashington State is 1,200 students under its previous record. President Haggard, and Don Ferris,registrar, predict that next fall's enrollment will exceed the predictions of the census board.Enrollment predictions from the registrar's office for next fall quarter is 2,349. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1956 December 7 - Page 2 ---------- Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN December 7, 1956 Press Conference Gives Impetus ToSweeping Changes in Collegian "There are going to be some sweeping changes in the Collegian," stated Ken Robertson, Collegian editor, after returning from the Evergreen State Press Conference inTacoma this week. Representatives from eleven Washington 4-year colleges gathered at College ofPuget Sound last weekend. Western's delegation of nine people returned to campus filled with new ideas for improving publications. "THE EDITOR'S MOST IMPORTANT function is that of teaching thestaff," was the conclusion of a seminar led by James Bliss, Collegian adviser, which was attended byeditors only. Robertson's seminar on newspaper makeup and typography concluded that "no matterhow well a paper is written, it will not be read unless it looks good."

Some of the faculty members have had associationwith the architect before, so they know how to deal with him, it was pointed out. When asked if hethought the combined committee would make the students hesitate to express their opinions, Don Sixsaid no. He believed that both committees were working toward the same goals and they would workin agreement. "It was common agreement that we have a student co-chairman and secretary.

Closed-Circuit Experiment: Teachers Try Out TV Anticipating vastly increased enrollment in the near future, WWCE last Friday made closed-circuit televisionexperiments in the Campus School. This would make it possible for much larger groups to observeclasses. The test proved that a closed-circuit television has possibilities. However, there were someminor difficulties that must be overcome. The main difficulties were the camera's inability to telecast afull view of the classroom and the transmitting of sound from the room with inadequate microphones. If an outline of a definite study along these lines were made for the Ford Foundation, the college - could possibly get a grant to finance a program according to Dr. David Mac- Donald. ONE NON-TECHNICAL problem was that the cameraman kept the camera on the center of action. In observingstudents this isn't necessarily what a person wants to see. The Seattle company that wasdemonstrating closed-circuit television brought a camera for telecasting and-^showing on a 9 by 12foot screen in the auditorium. But since they dropped it, approximately 50 persons watched thedemonstration on a 17-inch television screen.

To finance the venture, $500,-000 is scheduled to be borrowed from a Federal Loan Agency at two and seven-eights per cent interest.This will be coupled w i t h $70,000 of student-paid funds which is expected to be available at the end ofthe school year.

However, the committee plans to receive acceptable exterior and interiordesigns in the very near future. Those present at the first joint committee meeting included Ken Moffett,Don Six, Doug Smith, Bar-rie Browneli, William O'Neil, Dr. Mayer, Louis Earl, Dean McDonald and Dean Powers. IT BECAME APPARENT at the out-set of the meeting that both faculty and students wereconcerned with the same problems, particularly in organizing the committee which once was composedof two separate organized bodies, one appointed by President Moffett, and the other by CollegePresident W. W. Haggard. In the first meeting of the next quarter the committee is expected to be fullyprepared to use their combined forces and speed up Student Union Building plans. SchapiroConcludes Fall A CAUGHT WITH THEIR UMBRELLA UP, these two Western coeds seemed oblivious to the fact that if had stopped snowing Wednesday. Or maybe the umbrella was intended as a safetyparachute if an emergency landing was necessary on the icy walks that ringed campus this week. (Stutz Photo) Western Student 'Gets Shots1 For Five Years in Bangkok Twin Gables Where excellentfood is served In a w a r m and friendly atmosphere 5 min. from town on N. 99 ';If I don't get shotdown over Viet Nam, I'll know I'm' really fortunate." This was the statement of Jud Lloyd, Westernstudent, leaving by air this week for Bangkok, Thailand, to begin five years of medical school at' theUniversity of Thailand. 'EXPENSES PAID' Considering himself lucky in more than one way, Jud gt;had just finished a 40-hour week job of getting passports, and plane reservations. "I',ve had 12 shotsalready," he said. "But it's all expense-paid," he added, stating that the plane trip, his room and boardand school expenses in Thailand, and a trip back via Europe at the end of the five years, are being paidfor by an uncle in the importing business in Bangkok. The second American to ever enter the medicalschool of the University of Thailand, Lloyd explained that it is "quite a good school," founded in 1892 and revamped by Rockefeller and Ford in 1932. The school is completely supported by the Thaigovernment with the help of British and Americans, he added. LARGER YET SMALLER "From whatI've learned, it's a Universityâ€”with quite a few small colleges in it. It's comparable to a school largerthan the U of W, but it has more colleges and less people." By MOLLY RAYMOND UNASSUMING asa stage personality, but sensitive as an artist, Maxim Schapiro closed the fall quarter Artist andLecturer series with two concerts Tuesday. Opening his morning program with Mozart's lighthearted C major Sonata K. 279, Schapiro played with classic restraint and in an appropriate mood of good-humored serenity. The second portion consisted of twelve etudes, Op. 10 of Chopin, which, while aimed at developing some element of piano technique, all express Chopin's distinctive spirit.Stylistically, Schapiro's Chopin was less perfect than his Mozart; his treatment of the etudes wasperhaps too restrained. One felt, however, that he was capable of giving much more, for there weremoments when he played with romantic fire; this was particularly evident in the final etude, the C minor.COMPRISING TWO WORKS the concluding group was by the contemporary B r a z i l i an composer,He i t or Villa-Lobos. The first, titled "Planting Song," has a plaintive theme in characteristic Latinrhythm; the second, "Dance of the White Indian," is a brilliant and percussive work, barbaric inspirit and sometimes approaching frenzy in its wild primitive r h y t h m s. Schapiro played these w o rks with abandon; he seemed to have relaxed the reserve so evident in the preceding group. MaximSchapiro's g e n e r al style of playing as displayed in this concert is perhaps best suited to works of the classical period; yet he showed he is certainly able to give convincing interpretations of the morevigorous and emotional'works of later composers when he chooses to do so.

According to some of the ladies, NO. ."-. Some of our female acquaintances have been wetting our lapels, crying the blues about the non-emancipation of Western women. They claim, poor lachrymose things, that they are cramped by as niftya set of restrictions as ever graced the confines of a nunnery. Having made enquiries, we concur. ALLWOMEN STUDENTS in college approved housing are subject to curfew seven nights a week; this curfewvaries from a magnanimous 2 a.m. deadline for special events, to an ignominious 9 p.m. deadline forfreshettes! (There are no hours restrictions for men.) Women students leaving this campus for theweekend are required to fill out in duplicate forms which go into astonishing detail in inquiring as to theparticulars of the proposed trip. These forms must be signed by the Dean of Women and thehousemother. Upon her return the student again signs in. No drunkometer test is at present required.(There are no weekend restrictions for men.) This then, is the much talked of double standard. Wesuspect that the ladies are at least partly at fault for its existence. Rules as Victorian as these areeasily changed by persons interested enough to publicize them. WE AGREE WITH YOU, ladies, that ifyou are old enough and intelligent enough to be here, you are old enough and intelligent enough to beentrusted with the safekeeping of your own morals (bless them). But if you want to do anything about this situation you must hitch vp your girdles and agitate. Light your own firecrackers, girls, and we will standback out of your way and cheer you on.â€”A. M. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ There'// Be Some Changes Made' Stateconferences are often benefieial only to those who attend them, but the Collegian feels that the oneattended by its staff last weekend will end in profit for the whole student body. As a result, somesweeping changes are in store for the Collegianâ€”in advertising, coverage, looks and concept. -Theremay be only one hindranceâ€”for the third largest college in the state, we found we had about the least-largest (if such is a word) staff in the state. But what was lacked in numbers was made up in interest.The Western delegation was one of the most informed and interested at the ESPA conference, andconsequently made some of the biggest changes in its future. The newly-elected officers of theorganization, we believe, are going to make it click (we would wholeheartedly concur in John BetrozofPscomments in Sports Snorts). We think the Evergreen State Press is moving swiftly aheadâ€”theCollegian plans to move with it. * * * From Pearl Harber to Apple Pie Fifteen years ago today PearlHarbor was bombed. In the years since that day our enemies, both on the Pacific and European fronts,are considered friends in this country's struggle for a balance of power and world peace. Timeâ€”withthe cost of living and other social phenomenaâ€”changes all. The fuzzy faced youngster who sailed inPacific convoys, or who stormed the beaches of Italy has changed just as the times: from the radicalismof war to the conservatism of peace. The helmeted and bayonet-carrying WW II vet is no longer aninstrument of war; he is a part of American society â€”a part of that society that is married, goes to workor school, and worries about the various (but mostly unimportant) ills and temperaments of his wife andkids. Mentally and physically he is different than he was at Pearl Harborâ€”noticing mostly the baywindow that is trying to hide his belt, and the thinning of the hair on his headâ€”just in that place that ishard to cover. Yes, he is no longer a dangerous man. His speech is as obsequious as his battle-cry was terrible: "Could we have apple pie tonight, honey, please?"â€”R. M. * * * Hungary Wasn't Only CauseDying A CHANCE TO HELP the student rioters against communism in Hungary awaited students ofWestern this weekâ€”and weeks before. It was simply this week that Valkyrie stepped in and put someorganization into a campaign that had previously fallen flat on its face under other handling. WUS too,has been put under the direction of one of the most unique and powerful student-faculty groups ever tohandle a fund-raising campaign. Western has remained stillâ€”under the campaign-handling of groupswho did a poor jobâ€”while most other state colleges and universities have poured effort and thousands ofdollars into Hungarian relief, through WUS. The Collegian believes the present campaigns will be carriedout in a manner in which students can place confidence; Â£_ Th ti the EDITORIAL PAGE of THECOLLEGIAN; it is the opinion page of the newspaper, on which will be found our views on any mattersthat affect students.

Winners Say They'll Add More Than Beauty to 600 What does a BOC member do? If "the fivepeople elected in the last election live up to their promises, the answer to that question may be theaddition of something .more than beauty to the most powerful student organization on campus. , Askedwhat they were going to do for the students now that they had been elected, the new BOC memberspromised improvement from an 80% vote of the student body to a new athletic field, if possible. (The laststipulation was important.) "It will be my goal to get 80% of the students to vote," was the "statement,of Al Jung, elected in a race that saw 37% of the ASB voting. "I am also interested in renovating the track field into a new football field," he added, stating that its natural drainage would get rid of having muddyfields. In this he received support from Dave Amos, and Gail Tuininga who also thought the present trackarea would make a good footfall field. - "If enough student interest is shown to me, I'll work for parkingspacer We can get it," June Kellogg, top vote-getter in the election promised. "Working on the budget,"she also said, "I'll try to see that every department gets its fair share." Lakewood came into thediscussion, too. "I want to see it improved or sold," Amos stated. If it were sold, he thought, the moneymight be used to purchase "Western facilities on Mt. Baker for student skiing enthusiasts." Gail Tuininga thought Lakewood could be improved. "I am very interested in Lakewood, and want to see a worthwhileprogram carried on out there this year." She was also for the appointment of a permanent WUScommittee. Tom Romerdahl felt he had some changes to-make in the present constitution. "As chairman of the constitution committee, I can say we're going to try and make it a more workable set of rules andregulations." Romerdahl was the only, one who mentioned the A-L committee. "I'm still trying to find asolution to the A-L series," he said, "The biggest thing we can do is to get active interest of the studentson the committee.''- ! Several of the candidates felt a mandate to play highly active roles in studentgovernment. , "Just because the election is over and won, that doesn't mean that you won't be hearingfrom me;" June Kellogg predicted, "I will be a working representative." Gail Tuininga said, "I plan to liveup to the things I said I would do," and Romerdahl went on record as "continuing to serve the greatestnumber of people as well as I can." h Holly, 'Spirit' Hasn't taght lis Vol In this issue you will not find hollywreaths, little toy reindeer, tinkling tinsel, colored lights or laughing Sanfa Clauses. If you think we haven'tcaught the Christmas spirit, you're rightâ€”ever since before Thanksgiving we haven't been able to catchthe Christmas spirit. This is not to sky, though, that no one tried to imbibe our cynical, stone hearts withthe gaity of the department stores' yearly tinsel extravaganzas. We were accosted by smilingsalesladies with 15% better-than-usual smiles, trying to sell 15% higher-than-usual items. We werepummeled by bargain-hunting crowds downtown, shoved into little trees covered with ornaments till theyshook with artificial snow, swept by cross-currents through crowds of frustrated shoppers, angry parents,lost children and loudspeakers softly blaring "White Christmas." We were warned that this would be anidea! week for the Collegian to come out with an "all-green" (or red) edition to be in step with the times,but the spirit just hasn't caught us yet, and may not for another week. We may be a little slow, but sowere the wise men. v Letter Accepts Criticism, But Questions Motives of Writer To the Editor, and allthose who might criticize me: In answer to the last editorial concerning the "he (-or she)" who was re-elected to the Board and who is hesitant to speak, this article could easily have been directed at me.

But, to use a trite saying, "Rome was not built in a day" and a positive change is not evidentovernight. The many drops of water that make the mighty ocean are added slowly; Boredom Results from disinterest and disinterest in the Board I do not have as shown by my active participation in manycommittees sponsored by the BOC and by my concern for the effects of the Board's legislation onWestern students. As for representing the student body, none of the Board members need to represent any of Western's students because any student can represent himself at a Board meeting. One tendsto be suspicious of the overly aggressive out-spoken person who bases his arguments onassumptions rather than facts and who does not have background of practical experience. I do have abackground of practical experience and I hope I base my reason on facts rather than assumptions. Mythanks to all those students who recognized this and gave me their vote of confidence; in the lastelections Improvement ;is still-in order.and this I shall try to do. â€”In all sincerity, Gail Tuininga. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1956 December 7 - Page 6 ---------- Page 6 "WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN December 7, 1956 Totem Taken by Vikings Meet theVikings LEROY NELSON Hits 30 at Totem New to the Western squad is a former Longview and LowerColumbia JC star.

In answer to theBOC challenge to a basketball game, the WWCollegian S p o r t s Department has this to say.First of all, the challenge was to Publications. Does the BOC realize there is â€¢ also a Writer, Profile,K1 i p s u n, Homecoming Booklet, Navigator, besides the Collegian, u n d e r Publications. Very ill-thought-out challenge. Secondly, past responses of the BOC to such challenges have been, to say theleast, awful. Publications spent a lot of time arranging a game last year but could not get the Board outfor the game. Very bad publicity. Thirdly, this Department feels the present BOC was not serious butmerely wanted to show that they do meet every Wednesday, at 4 p.m., in the Student Center, if only toplay a little Canasta. Very bad. So in conclusion, this Department expresses the feeling that the BOC should spend the time that the basketball game would have taken in plugging up some of the gaps inour student government.

Friday evening Western smashed thePort Alberni Athletics, an independent Canadian team, 83-69. Coach Hubbard commented, "I liked the way we played ball the first half but the competition we met in the tournament wasn't the best."Hubbard commended LeRoy Nelson on his fine play. Nelson tallied 30 points in the first game andwas a bulwark on defense. Captain Gary Radliff accepted the trophy on behalf of the team. According to the new revised schedule, Western plays tomorrow night against St. Martins on the opponent's homecourt. Western performs at home for the first time this season Dec. 14. The coaching staff hasexpressed hope that Darrow Nelson will be eligible to compete against the Williamette Bearcats. Thenext night, Saturday, the College hosts Lewis and Clark of Portland. L C has been rated high in pre-season polls of the nation's smaller colleges. December 17, Coach Hubbard's squad invades PortAlberni, a team they whipped by 14 points last Friday. Wednesday night of that week, Western meets St. Martins again, this time on Western's court.

Magnolia By JOHN BETROZOFF Back in thedriver's seat after letting the cubs murder the Collegian for a week. Indications for a good basketballseason went up over the weekend. Main help in the Totem victories is giving the squad a little confidenceand a positive attitude toward the coming campaign. Don't worry about over-confidence because theEvergreen has some top outwits in PLC, Whitworth, and Eastern. Don't count out Central. As Hubbardputs it, "It's going to be rugged." ESPA GROWING IN NUMBER AND SOON IN POWER Our recentEvergreen State Press Association Clinic at CPS numbered eleven schools, five over last year. Thesports scribes there brought up interesting proposals. Most outstanding one was the idea of JohnMingus, Seattle U. Sports Editor, columns. It would be very interesting to see how other schools feelabout the Vikings and what these schools outside the conference feel about the Evergreen athletic code.BASKETBALL BEST IN UNITED STATES The US sweep of the Olympics on the maplecourts with BillRussell and company shows how far out in front we are in basketball. The US coach commented thatany college team could win the Olympics. Russia's 7Â»2" giant proved a farce against the US andRussell kept the Vodkamen from taking any close shots. Speaking of Russell, he was here a few yearsago and was beaten. Dean McDonald, who handled the Vikings until Hubbard took over last year,explained that the California All-Stars, which was a group of high school seniors, had on its roster thespindly-looking Bill Russell. They came barnstorming to the Northwest playing Canadian teams andBlaine high school. Well, the Western junior varsity was the only team to defeat them. That was betterthan four years ago and Bill has improved somewhat. UBC CONSIDERS ATHLETIC CHANGE Aproposition that started last year has been brought up again recently by the UBC paper. They wish towithdraw from the Evergreen Conference to form a Western Athletic Union. The reasons are this and Iquote: "UBC students happen to be Canadians, and are probably more inclined to see Canadian footballplayed by a Canadian team than they are to see UBC Thunderbirds get trounced by some heavilysubsidized Washington Teacher's College they've never heard of. And it is our strong suspicion thatUBC students would turn out in droves to see Alberta vs. UBC, or Manitoba vs. UBC, where an EvergreenConference game attracts only the very avid and the very lonesome." It would be a serious mattershould the UBC team quit this conference. Maintaining the conference as it is or increasing themembership should be our objective. It is, however,-up to the UBC people to do as they wish. I doquestion their statement of "heavily-subsidized Washington Teacher's College." They must be referring tosome of the private schools of this conference. I believe sports Editors Dave Perkins of Central and Monte Lauritzen of Eastern will agree on that point.
