Following student protests and the threat of massive demonstrations in Bellingham and elsewherein the state, Department of Public Assistance officials in Olympia have liberalized their stance on foodstamp regulations. After a day of sporadic but orderly sit-ins and leafleting at the Bellingham office of theDPA, Dean Rutledge, local administrator, told a delegation headed by David Berrian that caseworkerswould accept students' written statements that while they lived together, they did not eat or share food as a single family unit. Rutledge told Berrian that written statements would be verified by "spot checks," but added that in no instance would an applicant's stamps be dejayed pending the inspection. The eligibilityrequirements were the focal point of a controversy which began during fall quarter and culminated thisweek with the AS Legislature issuing a call for a mass rally and march on the local DPA office. Themarch was called off as soon as the DPA revised its position. DPA officials had been requiring studentswho shared communal living facilities to prove that they did not eat together, but the officials refused todefine what constituted satisfactory evidence, thereby depriving many students and, reportedly, other poor persons, of participation in the food stamp program. Berrian, who with Fairhaven lecturer Tom Brose hadbeen at the forefront of mobilizing students and local poor to protest the situation, said he believed theDPA's new stance was the direct result of the climate of rising activism and the probability that a worker-student coalition could be developed behind the issue. But he remained pessimistic, adding that he felt itwould be necessary to keep a constant check on the DPA to insure that it sticks by its new position. "Iwould very strongly suspect that if the recommendations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture are madeinto law, students will no longer be eligible for food stamps," he saj lt;iv; Berrian said the USDA willrecommend to Congress on April 15th that substantial changes be made in the food stamp laws. LocalDPA officials have frankly admitted the pressures causing the restrictions came from the NixonAdministration. The food stamp question has already triggered peripheral student activity. One of theresults is the formation of a trans-Washington student action committee to protest a broad spectrum ofmatters. Flora, Cooper Tangle Over Seats By BOB BURNETT Front Reporter AS President SteveCooper ran into heavy opposition from College President Charles Flora this week when Cooper proposedthat students be placed on Flora's executive cabinet and on the college's tenure and promotioncommittee. Flora strongly opposes seating students on either body. He said he was not diminishing the contributions of students, but felt that tenure and promotion should be left to the assessment of- only the most senior scholars and teachers. The tenure and promotion committee is composed of four fullprofessors, each of whom has a doctorate degree. Six of Flora's "most trusted colleagues" comprise hisexecutive cabinet. Cooper wants two upper-division students placed on the tenure board and wants theAS president to sit on the cabinet. "If this college is ever going to accept the concept of a communitygovernance, and if students are ever going to become responsible and gain the respect of theiradministrators, then it is imperative that students sit on these two decision-making bodies," he said. "I'm disturbed by all this talk about tenure coming from young people who don't understand the value and theimportance of the history behind it," Flora added. Teachers at Western, according to Flora, areconsidered for tenure at an average age of 50. This means they have been at Western for about 13 yearsand could be tenured professors for another 27 years before they reach retirement age. Flora said he was not as concerned with what a teacher did during the 13 years before being considered for tenure as hewas with what the teacher was likely to do in the 27 years after becoming tenured. One problem, hesaid, was that some tenured faculty do not keep up to date in their respective areas of discipline. "Wehave to ask, 'Does this teacher demonstrate the attributes that will carry him through 27 more years?' "Flora explained. He believes the decision should be made by persons who have proved themselves astenured faculty. "College is a sanctuary where people can speak what they believe to be truth," Florastated. "Tenure was devised to protect that sanctuary." He described tenure as the heart of an academic institution. PRESIDENT FLORA "I agree,". Cooper replied. "And that is exactly why we want studentson that committee. Students have to be able to help decide who's going to teach them. "We're the oneswho have to sit through a poorly taught class." . While Western's tenure and promotion policy is dictated by a committee which uses student evaluations in its assessments, Fairhaven students are directlyinvolved in tenure and promotion procedures. Fairhaven students evaluate their faculty members everyfour years, and, in effect, promote, hire and fire them. Flora said that he would critically evaluate thesystem at Fairhaven College, but that it was far too early to judge that system now. There is a movement among college administrators throughout the nation to do away with tenure altogether, Flora said. "Iftenure is abolished, we'll be in a different ball game, he said. In reply to Cooper's proposal to make the.AS PRESIDENT COOPER president a member of the college president's executive cabinet, Flora- saidthat the purpose of the cabinet was not to set policy for the college. The executive cabinet has no formalstructure, no agenda and keeps no minutes, Flora said. "We meet informally and on a relaxed basis toprovide a continual flow of information," he said. Cooper said he was not swayed by Flora's commentsand that he will continue to seek student seats on the two bodies. Cooper said his administration hassucceeded in placing students on most of the standing administrative committees of the college and has received commitments to place students on the others. The tenure and promotion committee and theexecutive cabinet are the only bodies which have denied students a seat, he said. "If students are giventhe responsibility to sit down and help choose the dean of Western, the provost and others, then I don'tsee why we can't help decide who our teachers will be," Cooper remarked: ---------- Western Front - 1971 January 29 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front , Friday, January 29, 1971 Storm Damage Runs High TODAY: Film, Tight Little Islandby Alexander Mackendrick, and the short Boiled Egg. 7 and 9:15 p.m. in L-4.

The AS Legislaturecalled the meeting to "solicit the expression of student opinion" on the proposed $3.5 million south-campus union facility. Many student leaders believe the cost of the proposed facility is exorbitant andunwarranted in the face of nearly frozen enrollment prospects in the near future. The new union wouldhave bowling alleys, a swimming pool, dining and meeting areas. The price would be paid by studentfees. The recent snow storm and torrential : rains which swept B e l l i n g h am and WesternWashington caused an estimated $30,000 in damages to the college. The high cost in damagesresulted from removing snow, clearing flooded rooms and tunnels, replacing destroyed trees and â€¢fixing sunken pavements. When the nearly two feet of snow began to melt, drain tunnels were notalways able to handle the water run-off, consequently several places were flooded. H.

In legislative session Tuesday, the solons declared both judicial bodies "illegally constituted"and called for the immediate appointment of new judiciaries in accordance with correct procedure.Members of both boards are normally appointed under rules outlined in the Navigator, the official campusguidebook. The Navigator stipulates that all judiciaries are to be appointed by a committee consisting ofthe AS president, the chairman of inter-hall council, a student legislator, the president of the associatedwomen students, the dean of students, three students chosen at random and a faculty adviser. Lib byBradshaw, a legislator who brought the matter to student government's attention, said that neither alegislator, the AS president, nor the inter-hall council chairman was present when judges were selectedlast November. Speaker Bert Halprin, who was then a legislator; Sally Williams, chairman of IHC; andthen acting AS President Gary Evans were the members whose presence was required to select judges.Each admits absence from the final selection meeting. Halprin and Evans contend that they were notnotified of the meeting. IHC Vice-Chairman Cathy Dudik attended the meeting in Miss Williams' place.Miss Bradshaw contends that the Navigator specifically places the IHC chairman, not a representative,on the selection committee. "No one is dissatisfied with what the judiciary has done," she said. "We'rejust concerned with how the members were selected." Miss Bradshaw said she was "very vague" onwhat might happen as the result of the legislature's action agains the judiciary. Even if a correctlyappointed selection committee "rubber stamped" the existing judiciary members, it would at least thenbe legal, she said. Miss Bradshaw had some "serious questions" concerning some of the appointmentsto the selection committee. She disagreed with the seating of the AWS president and wondered why the three randomly picked students were all close acquaintances of Dean McDonald. Disapproval of theLegislature's actions mounted Tuesday night. Dean of Women Mary Robinson, who works closely withthe judiciary, called the action "a disservice to the whole community." She said the Legislature shouldhave acted much earlier if it was upset with the judicial system. "They can't let a body act a wholequarter and then suddenly decide they are not satisfied with it. "I feel it (the selection) was a fair thing.We have a good judicial body," Miss Robinson said. Cathy Dudik also criticized the Legislature'sactions. "I don't think the Legislature has acted in the best interests of the problem," she said. "TheLegislature should have expressed disapproval, but I don't think they should call for selection of a newboard." "It was up to the Legislature to make sure its appointee attended the selection meeting." MissBradshaw countered that it was the OCIC Lakewood Defense Fund responsibility of the chairman of theselection committee, Dean McDonald, to make sure everyone attended. Whatever happens to thejudiciary as a result of Tuesday's bill probably will not affect the cases handled by the judiciaries.Precedence distates that action taken by the Legislature is not, in most instances, retroactive. Twolegislators, Jim Stevens and Jim Forsman, resigned their positions at Tuesday's meeting. Stevens cited"personal reasons" in his letter of resignation. He has a new job which conflicts with meeting times, hesaid. "I don't think the Legislature accomplishes much anyway," he said after the meeting. Forsman, inan emotional speech before the law-making body, said, "Since I became a Christian two months ago, Ireally want to share Christ with other students." The resignations create two new openings on theLegislature. Applications are being accepted in the AS offices, top floor of the Viking Union. LegislatorJohn Easteman inadvertently put the Legislature in a state of turmoil when he walked out before themeeting had been adjourned.' His absence left the Legislature without a quorum and making it unable toact on a pressing, issue. The Legislature was about to discuss a vital appointment to the advisorycommittee on other student activities when Eastman left. The committee was to meet Thursday toconsider the proposed $3.5 million south-campus union facility, and the Legislature wanted to fill itsposition on the committee before the meeting. Eastman said later that he left to keep a personalappointment. "I was aware that somebody was considering some kind of appointment," he said, but hedenied that he was aware his presence was needed to maintain a quorum. Other legislators, however,reported that Eastman was well aware his departure would stymie further action. They could think of noreason for his untimely withdrawal. GETTING READY? GI HELMET LINERS and a gas mask were foundin a storeroom at student government headquarters on the top floor of the Viking Union last night. ASVice President Gary Evans, shown above with his unique find, said the military paraphernalia wasdiscovered on the top shelf of a storeroom next to the AS president's office. Evans quipped that it musthave been left over from a previous student government administration. Photo By LOREN BLISS Huxley's Dean Eco-Active Western took another step Tuesday in financing its possible legal action againstSudden Valley. The AS legislature passed a bill Tuesday which made funds available to the Off-Campus Interhouse Community (OCIC) for purchase of 1,000 buttons to be sold for the Western LakewoodDefense Fund. The proceeds from the buttons will be assigned to the Lakewood Defense fund andplaced in a trust account to underwrite expenses incurred by legal action. OCIC will be charged withorganizing and distributing the sale of the buttons. Pam Clark, OCIC president, said the buttons willprobably go on sale next Wednesday. The buttons will sell for $1, however contributions over $1 will begladly accepted and will be receipted. Inscribed on the buttons will be the words "Western LakewoodDefense Fund." The buttons will portray a setting of Lakewood with a large question mark over thesetting. The housing commission added that in the event legal action is not taken, the money from thebutton sale will be divided equally between the AS legal aids office and the housing commission. GeneMiller's background and aspirations make his position as Dean of Huxley College a natural progression.Miller did his undergraduate studies in soil chemistry at Utah State in Logan, Utah. His graduate worktook him to Rally, N.C., where North Carolina State University is located. ,His research in plant bio-chemistry focused on the molecular level and the involvement of enzymes in bio-chemistry. He firstbecame actively involved in ecological studies in 1957 when he was an assistant professor in the botany department at Utah State. There he researched the effects of fluoride pollution on various bio-chemicalreactions. The fluoride problem in Utah was great at that time, due to coal burning in steel mills. Millerdiscovered that fluoride in the air injured plant life, and also the animals which consumed the plants, hesaid. M i l l e r took his first post-doctoral at the University of Hawaii in radiology. Later he did two moreat thev University Health Plan Reviewed The Health Services Committee is evaluating the currentstudent health insurance plan for revision for next year. Students who have comments or suggestionsregarding the current policy and the premiums should contact Dr. Margrethe Kingsley, Health Center;Jerry Griggs, 523 Beta; or Dean of Women Mary Robinson, OM 214. Questions regarding the studenthealth insurance policy may be directed to the Dean of Women, OM 214. of Muenster in Germany where he studied bip-chemsitry and electron microscopy. In his study of electron microscopy he looked at the sub-cellular s t r u c t u r e of organisms to determine where the initial effects of fluoride appeared.Remaining at Utah State, Miller acted as the dean of the college of science for a year, and in his lastyear was director of the pollution center. This was purely research oriented, with five colleges and 20departments involved. The center coordinated environmental research, mainly at the graduate level.Miller came to Huxley in 1969 for the opportunity to develop a complete program of environmentalstudies. It is very difficult to have a program of environmental studies unless the a d m i n * i s t r a t i o n is inter-disciplinary, he said. Huxley is one of two cluster colleges in the United States withenvironmental studies at the undergraduate level. There are many inter-departmental graduate programsand more are beginning to have undergraduate work. The University of Washington is planning an inter-departmental undergraduate program in environment. Miller also said he expects community colleges to introduce survey courses in environmental problems. A student with a bachelors in environmentalstudies would be valuable to industry, business and government agencies as an environmental advisor,he said. Last summer Miller was an e x c h a n g e p r o f e s s o r to Czechoslovakia, sponsored bythe National Academy of Science. He studied and discussed pollution research with scientists there.Miller recently invited a post-doctoral student from Czechoslovakia to participate in research here atHuxley. Campus Office Finds Jobs for Students Students who applied for jobs at the studentemployment office fall quarter all found jobs, Mrs. Claire Johnson, director, said. Out of 193 jobsavailable, 175 were filled. Equal numbers of men and women applied. J obs most frequently in demandwere for waitresses, babysitters, housekeepers and janitors. Other jobs included salesclerks, ushersand even a demographer (survey-taker). The pay for jobs varied widely from $1.60 to $1.76 an hour for awaitress, and $2.00 to $2.75 an hour for a janitor. S i n c e the s t u d e nt employment office dealsmainly in off-campus jobs, (the financial aids office helps with on-campus jobs) there is no limit to thenumber of hours a student works. Often, the employer will adjust working hours to meet the student'sschedule, Mrs. Johnson said. To apply for a job, a student fills out a work application and checks theoffice for job openings regularly. For the employer's part, he calls in and requests help, and the job isposted. Jobs that weren't filled were o f t e n commission jobs Johnson said. "Students don't want thatbut they're almost always open." The prospects for winter q u a r t e r jobs aren't too promising, but Mrs. Johnson thinks that jobs will be picking up in the spring. ---------- Western Front - 1971 January 29 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, January 29, 1971 FrOIlt Fdltorials Oops, We Goofed To comfort the afflicted andto afflict the comforted11 Frank Punches Frank Punches is cleaning out his desk in the placement office today, and at precisely five-o-clock he will doff his hat and leave campus for good. Punches is retiring as education placement director after 23 years with the college and nine long years grappling withplacement problems, which have grown worse in recent years than ever before. Responsibility Eighteen-year-olds will be able to vote in state and local elections and drink beer in Washington State if a billintroduced in the state legislature becomes law. Rep. Alan Bluechel (R-Kirkland) has filed a bill in theHouse which would lower the age of responsibility from 21 to 18 in all cases except those specificallystated by law. If the bill passesâ€”and we highly doubt that it willâ€”18-year-olds could get marriedwithout parental consent, make a will, contracts or sue and be sued in state courts. They also will beallowed, among other The Struggle The sudden concessions made by Department of Public Assistanceofficials this week proves that student pressure remains a potent force in the state's political affairs. Butit should not be viewed as a victory; it was just one small gain in what will remain a long, hard struggleagainst the forces of repression abroad in this state and nation. What has changed is that a lot of people can eat again. What has not changed is the nature of the system which, for a time, deprived some of usof our food and made a lot of us angry enough to take action. The question enabled diverseelementsâ€”students, a growing number of poor folk and othersâ€”to put together a potent coalition thathas already proven its effectiveness. For that coalition to disband now would be a tragic mistake. Thereare many more questions to which it should direct its attention, not the least of which We asked himwhat his feelings were in leaving higher education, and do you know what he told us?

The bill, co-sponsored by five otherrepresentatives, was filed at the specific request of the Governor's Commission for Youth Involvement. Inlight of the smattering of unfavorable legislation aimed primarily at the state's youth, this bill is arefreshing and welcome change. We hope that state senators and representatives will take enough timeto give the proposal every serious consideration. â€”John Stolpe is the broader spectrum of welfarereform. And there remains the question of whether Congress will act to cut students from the programaltogether later this year. It is ironic that this possibility, a grim one for many, looms so large in a nationso wealthy. Until all of us develop that high level of political awareness some of us reached thisweekâ€”until all of us realize that activism, not apathy, is the road to freedomâ€”we will remain prey tothose who would rob us of our liberty and livelihoods. Many of us are unaffected by the food stampquestion. Many of us have never known poverty. Yet all of us, as students, are brothers and sisters whoshare the role of nigger with the blacks, chicanos and poor. We stood together as a family this week;some of us for the first time.

John Stolpe, editor Viewpoint Using Our Brains REV. BILL SQDT My favoritepiece of graffiti : "MARSHALL MCLUHAN WRITES BOOKS" . . . in graduate school thirty years ago itwas hard to comprehend Dewey writing Instrumental Logic in Aristotelian terms . . . could neverunderstand fundamentalist Christians who use the Bible like a spiritual Euclid's Geometry.. . always liked Kierkegaard's indirect method of communication in dealing with paradox . . . * * * * So it's hard for me to see Richard Poirier accuse Norman Mailer of "fudging." In his New Republic review of Mailer's new book"Of a Fire on the Moon" (Jan 23), Poirier sets him up by quoting from (1968) "Armies of the Night": 'Anyman or woman who was devoutly Christian and worked for the American Corporation had been caught inthe unseen vise whose pressure could split their mind from their soul. For the center of Christianity was amystery, a son of God, and the center of the corporation was a detestation of mystery, a worship oftechnology.' From there on all through "Fire" its dualisms, dichotomiesâ€”Hip and Square, God and theDevil, the human body and the Machine, Language and Technologese, etc. "Why must he engage inthese banal acts of cosmic division?" Because that's where it is, brother, in working through the anxietygenerated in the tension of living free in order, of being more than mundane in a mundane world. Ourworld, and our experience, are polarized. History is a pendulum swinging between reason andromanticism. Our center of consciousness travels back and forth from our brains to our guts. But we'realways using our brains to figure out where we are. Even in this post-Englightenment world we dreadtaking a chance on our feelings. For solipsism, whether of Descartes or Charles Manson, is charming but threatening. Reality doesn't lie in the pure activism of ideology, or in the ecstasy of a peyote bud.-Why is the campus 'laid back?' I think it's because the head-trippers can't stand the guff, and the dreamies don'tsee the need to. Marcia Cavell, assistant professor of philosophy at New York University, has what Ithink is a remarkable article in Saturday Review, (Dec. 19, 70) called "Visions of a New Religion." In it she explores Reich's turf, and Timothy Leary'sâ€”the rejection of reason and language. And she points outcritically that the counter culture runs madly away from suffering and guilt. But didn't the Enlightenmentdo the same . . . and in the doing fake out reality? We can't live that way. A letter on "Visions" in a laterissue manages to explicate the mystery of Christianity in coolest reason, while another correspondentextols the Enlightenment in a boiling emotion. We're confused, and we might as well accept living inambiguity. What we need is to make some overtures of trust, personally and nationally, in the midst ofuncertainty. Neither brains nor tripe make a good steady diet. Our heads may be in different places, butwe ought not to deny each other's validity. St. Paul says we are all members together with each other.Not all can be hands or feet, heads or hearts. (Sometimes, in an irreverent mood I wonder how he feltabout some of the other organs.) It's in the functioning together that the body can work. That's goodtheology, and it's good practical ---------- Western Front - 1971 January 29 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, January 29, 1971 Western Front 5 â€¢Letters To The Editor- Cooper: 7 om Frustrated' BySTEVE COOPER AS President As a student I am frustrated. I am tired of the intellectual games playedon this campus-not only those perpetrated by student government and its traditions-but by the facultyand the administration. As a student I am frustrated because I do not have a real say in the faculty whoteach me. As a student I am frustrated by the fact that my peers who live in residence halls on campusare expected to live in sterile living conditions which do not reflect the realities of the outside world. Andfinally, as the student body president, I am frustrated by the rhetoric of faculty and administrators whoclaim that students are a vital part of this community of scholars when, in fact, we are part of anacademic caste system. Why all of this? Student government within the past 10 years has sufferedunder an ~ onslaught of issues and student grievances, unable to provide a sound and stable base fromwhich to direct pressure and institute change. It has also been plagued by a lack of continuity from oneadministration to the next. And finally, student government realizes the need for a change in perspective,yet because of the above, issues that could have been solved years before have gone unsolved, and havebeen left only to fester. I realize that the fault lies in particular, with student government, the faculty, and administration. Many students come to college just to gain a degree. And, many times it doesn't matterwhich degree, just so they get that piece of parchment which supposedly means the person is educatedand will gain himself a job. I suppose that this is a fault of the academic institution, in that the educationone receives does really reflect the problems facing students when they leave college. Classes andprograms like the ones offered at Huxley and Ethnic Studies, which many times isolate problems, andfacilitate in the awareness of social ills, are not as accessible to the average non-activist student. Thereis a whole mentality within academic institutions that pushes the student toward a four year graduationregardless of the interests and desires of that student. Another problem is found in the accessibility bystudents to the decision making processes in the various departments..Many students have tried, forexample, to work within the departments to change curriculum, and to have a voice in the type andcaliber of faculty teaching. Many times students who have worked to have a say, find themselves hittingtheir heads against a stone wall in frustration. They feel that it's not worth the effort. And finally, theblame must also lie with Student Government. I feel that Student Governments have been moreconcerned with flashy rhetoric and housekeeping than the issues of academic reform and articulation oflegitimate student grievances. Student government leadership has frequently been less than tenuous and where confrontations have precipitated, many times adequate research and insight have not been done.To the students, they look upon this with cynical humor. This year in student government we have hiredresearchers to investigate problems, so that our actions and proposals reflect knowledgeably, the issuesat hand. We have made mistakes and errors in judgment, and unfortunately we cannot know enoughabout problems that will arise, but we will continue to research these areas before acting. When issuesarise that need immediate action, we will act decisively yet cautiously and seek input from other studentleaders, factions, and the student body. When is needed is a change in perspective for this studentgovernment if students are to begin supporting their government. And students today, I believe, are moreconcerned with the kind of education they receive than ever before. I believe that this awareness shouldbe of monumental concern to student government at all levels executive and legislative. If not, studentleaders will continue to represent only themselves. What have we done since attaining office onNovember 5th? 1. We set up a structure which will enable us to apply constant pressure on all aspects of this college. 2. We have persuaded the administration to change the budget to allow for the raising ofstudent wages. 3. We have developed an action-oriented community board to begin solving problemsaffecting the total Bellingham community. 4. We are in the process of finalizing a proposal which willenable students to work off campus in local business and government for at least one quarter for credit.5. We have opened up communication between the Associated Students and the inter-hall council andwe are now working jointly on various proposals. 6. We have worked in conjunction with inter-hall council to, present a 24-hour dorm visitation proposal before the board of trustees next month. 7. By the end ofthe quarter, students will be members of 38 of the 39 standing committees of the college. The lastcommittee to be filled is the tenure and promotion committee.

Editor: Y o u r a s s i s t a n c e isappreciated in helping us determine what types of facilities are needed on the Western campus. Yourresponse will be used in planning these facilities." Hundreds of students here should have read thesewords on a "Facility Use Questionnaire," administered in several classes, Jan. 27. I just came from aclass of some 250 students where we rushed through this survey. The inefficiency of the survey'sadministration leads me to skepticism. In class, the survey was poorly introduced. The lady in chargementioned that Western received about a 3Vz million dollar federal loan, and now student response issolicited to determine where recreational interests lie. The list of 75 " i n t e r e s t s " to score waspreceded by a cumbersome page instruction explanation. As I looked around me I could see that fellowstudents were confused and hurried. And their responses are supposed to give data which are supposed to mean something. If the survey could have been properly introduced, simply explained, andadministered at the beginning of the hour, certainly the data would be more valid. As it occurred, I wasleft with the distinct impression of a rush-job, aimed not at real student interest, but at Viking Unionadministrative pressure.. This is my impression. We as students should realize (1) 3.5 million dollars will become manifest in college f a c i l i t i e s (2) Somebody determines just what is eventuallyconstructed (3) It should be the student voice which gets response as to whether ping pong tables, artgalleries, indoor artificial ski slopes, student pubs, or an FM student radio station become implemented. There's 3Vz million bucks! Let's make our voice heard. NOW is the time. J. A. Knold Industrial TechJunior Editor: What is the matter with people today? Something needs to be said about the unclean and detestable habit of putting out cigarettes on classroom floors and then stomping on them and rubbingthe already existing pile of ashes into the floor. It would seem one would include small items such asdisposal of cigarette butts when prescribing what is needed to clean up our environment. Such actionsare not only a symbol of untidiness but they are unnecessary. When, ashtrays are not available,smokers could make paper ones or use improvisions to alleviate putting their butts out on floors. Thecollege budget is tight enough without giving janitors extra sweeping work to rid the classrooms ofunsightly crushed b u t t s , and wasting money refinishing the floors so often. I only ask that smokersshow some discretion in smoking and not throw butts on the floor because everybody else does it.Lloyd Watkinson History Graduate LANGE VOLKSWAGEN 112SamishWay 734-5230 Sales: New and used Volkswagens.

NBC ---------- Western Front - 1971 January 29 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Friday, January 29, 1971 Women's Lib in Russ By HARVEY SCHWARTZ DispatchNews Service Driving over the Russian border from Finland on a snowy Sunday morning, the fifty-thirdanniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, the first person you see is a woman, hulking in along coat and shapeless boots, shovelling snow. There are perhaps a dozen m e n watching her. Thewoman shovelling snow earns more than a doctor. That is women's liberation in the Soviet Union.Travelling through the Soviet Union from Leningrad and the Finnish border in the north to Odessa and the Romanian border in the south, that first impression of the life of women in Russia held true. In alltechnical aspects, job equality, abortion and divorce laws, nature of the male-female relations, the Soviet woman is closer to equality with men than is the American woman. Yet even with this sense oftechnical equality, the life of a Russian woman probably would not be pleasant for her Americancounterpart. There are two female classes in Russia, separated by their generations. Older women, ofthe generation which survived WW II, are Russia's menial laborers, sweeping streets and shovellingsnow, digging ditches and carrying heavy loads. On collective farms they are seen behind horses andoxen plowing fields or watching cows, one old woman per animal. In the cities they are elevatoroperators and building painters. Any job done by an unskilled poor Black in America is done in Russiaby a "babushka," a grandmother. Yet in the Soviet Union these women are comparatively well paid and,just as important there, are given priority in housing. The modern Soviet woman, born since the SecondWorld War, is a product of the Soviet system. She is not used to the heavy work of her mother andgrandmother and has higher aspirations. She is as well educated as a man and takes job equality forgranted. Women are teachers, doctors, economists and computer programmers in mory than tokennumbers. Yet just as American women desire the job equality or Russian women, Russians are nowseeking femininity. Young Russian women want to know about Western fashions and cosmetics. Theywant to buy stockings and perfumes f r om foreigners. Young Russians, while proud of their jobs andeducation, feel that somewhere since the Revolution they have lost the qualities of femininity which exist in the West. In the fervor of the experimental times after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 most of thecurrent demands of t h e American women's liberation movement were incorporated into Russian law.Abortions were free and available on request. At one period in Moscow, during the 1930's abortionsexceeded live births. This so alarmed state planners that grounds for abortion have become morestringent^lthough they are still free at state hospitals. Also, because of the state's desire for populationgrowth, birth control pills are almost unknown in Russia. For a period after the Revolution divorcebecame a simple legal matter, the signing of a paper by both parties declaring the marriage ended.This, combined with the ease and informality of weddings led to what the state considered a dangerousimpermanence in personal relations. Divorces were made more difficult to obtain and weddingproceedings have acquired some pomp so that now they approach the style of the Las Vegas weddingchapels. There is a tape-recorded wedding march and a three minute ceremony in specially constructedwedding palaces in every city. As one couple exits through the back door the next couple comes in thefront. The state does not recognize church weddings and the church does not recognize state weddings. Russian women" have made their greatest advances in job security and job equality. Women are giventwo months leave with full pay prior to giving birth and two months leave with full pay after giving birth.Their job remains secure for a year. Day care centers called "creches" are available but it is the usualpractice for the mother to care for her child until he is three years old. In many families, with the s e v er e housing shortage throughout the Soviet Union, grandparents live in the same apartment and care forthe children. With the intertwining of the political and economic systems in the Soviet Union, jobequality has led many women into politics. Cities are governed by city Soviets, similar to City Councilsbut much larger. On the Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev City Soviets from 40 to 50 per cent of themembers are women. Women are also members of the Supreme Soviet, the highest government body in the nation. On the surface the Soviet Union is the American women's liberator's dream. Yet even in this society which has brought equality between the sexes almost to its biological limit there arecomplaints. Natasha, a Moscow mother in her early thirties and a former teacher, says, "March 8 isInternational Women's Day. It's supposed to celebrate the liberation and equality of women. We call itWomen's Slavery Day because now women have to work so a family Day Care Center Planned Aproposal for a child care center to be established by next fall has been decided upon by the ad hoccommittee on the day care center: B e c a u s e of financial limitation it was decided the age groupaccommodated would be from two and one half to five years. Hopefully, approximately 30 to 50 childrencould be accommodated in the center, and hours of operation would be from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.Children of students would have priority, with space made available to children of staff and faculty whenpossible. Charges would be set in accordance with the income of the parents. One of the pressingproblems of the committee is to find a IDe Paul's! suitable location for the center. Committee memberswho are w o r k i n g on this would appreciate suggestions as to a possible location for the center.Interested persons should call Roberta Light, 734-9128, or Brian Johnson, 676-0282. Hopefully thecenter will be run with a qualified staff director as well as utilizing work-study students, and parents ofchildren who would work on a cooperative basis. Persons interested in serving on the committee, andindividuals with â€¢ experience in staffing a child care center should contact Dean of Women MaryRobinson, OM 214. Requests will be made to the AS Legislature for some funding, and the final proposal will go to the administration and to AS. Individuals wishing to donate equipment for a child care centershould contact the Dean of Women, 676-3140.

T a m a r a , a computer programmer in her twenties from Kharkov, a city in the Ukraine, ishappy with her career but would rather talk about the man she is chasing. The only thing she wants toknow about American women concerns their femininity, clothing, dating, and make-up. What these andother young Russian women long for is some amount of gentility. Where women work side by side withmen, in laboratories and on construction projects, male deference is lost. While American feministsconsider acts such as men opening doors or carrying bundles for women patronizing, the majority ofAmerican women expect some special treatment. In Russia respect is not for sex but for age. On theMoscow subway young people offer their seats to older people. The egalitarian state of women in theSoviet Union is caused primarily by economic necessity. With the Revolution and Civil War, the purgesof Stalin and World War II, Russia lost over 40 million people, the vast majority of them men. Servicecalls 733-9501 Day or night {Ea!bent lt;.

You will never find out what "getting it on"means by looking in your Funk and Wagnel but if you end up at the Iron Bull tonight or tomorrow nightyou will soon find out. Appearing will be none other than Albert Collins. Albert Collins has never beenknown to let a crowd down. Last year he appeared at the Strawberry Mountain Rock Festival and playedhis electric guitar throughout the rainstorm. Some say he played so good that the rain stopped to listen.People came out of their tents, buses, sleeping bags or lean-to's to "get it on" with Albert. Jumping upand down and dancing in the mud, everyone ignored the rain and filled their minds with tunes flowing from the amplifiers of Albert Collins. Monday night at the Iron Bull Albert Collins did it again. Everybody wasfeeling good but it was not due to intoxicants or that funny smelling smoke that sometimes permeates the air. The good feelings were the result of a story Collins told with his guitar. That's right, his guitar. Albertactually talks with his guitar. And what talk! Collins was born in Leona County, Texas. He was introduced to the guitar by his cousin, Willo Young, who made Collins' first guitar from a cigar box. Albert Collinsdoesn't sing as much as his cousin, Lightnin' Hopkins, but he handles that guitar like a flat-foot handles a night-stick. He touches that guitar he feels it; and you feel the result. After his group leaves the stage fora break, Collins keeps playing that guitar, maybe not a song, but he keeps playing. Last year Collinstook advantage of his 300 foot guitar extension cord as he played off the stage, off the dance floor andright out the front door of the Iron Bull until he was playing in front of the state liquor store. Albert Collinsseems to be singing more this year than he did last year. It sounds like he has had some problems withchicks and he would like to tell us about it. (From beginning to end without censorship.) It looks liketonight and Saturday night a lot of people will be at the Iron Bull getting an earful and eyeful of thisgentleman who often hears crowds shout "Do it to us Albert!"

Garden and Holly streets â€¢IJI gt;:M*t ~ I , V . ,;C'./'.-',-"(..:T-"Â».'By KEN RITCHIE Front Music Critic One of the major stories about records this week is RCA's dynaflex. RCA in the past has brought you Dynarange and Dynagroove, if they ever get into the area of seacoastmanagement it will be called Dynashore, but back to Dynaflex. It's a thin record. Newsweek, whichbroke the story last week, gives a different weight than Billboard or Record World. Suffice it to say thatDynoflex is a lighter weighing record than the standard LP. The three stories that I have seen all mention the wonderful advantages of this new process. Less surface noise, extended life for both record andstylus and less slippage when stacked on record changers. According to a professional, who handleshundreds of albums a day, the skinny records are very easily damages by a worn needle. Sincenowadays 2 x 4's have been reduced by half an inch all around, I guess thinner fecords are to beexpected. I hadn't been plagued by surface noise or slippage in the past, but if RCA says I was I guess I will have to go along with big brother's judgment. There will be two more sampler albums available soon. DIFFERENT STROKES will feature the Columbia stable of stars. Nineteen cuts including Laura Nyro and Big Brother and the Holding Company. SOUND CONSPIRACY from MCA, which owns Decca, Coral,Uni, and Kapp. Price on this album will be about 98 cents. Apparently the Watner Brothers idea of cheap anthologies is catching on. This is a very economical way to get turned onto some good artists. Othernew stuff: THE WAGNER ALBUM featuring Eugene Ormandy et al on Columbia. There is a series ofOrmandy's greatest hits also on Columbia. I haven't heard any that weren't at least fun to listen to. Alsoof course E. Power Biggs Greatest Hits, and Bach's G H. Handel's G H. Movie Review This is arepackaging job of old war horses, which as I said before, are fun to listen to. But a word of caution,listening to the classics may lead to the harder stuff, like symphonies, and even opera. (Many of theheavy works are written in the key of something!) Back to the new stuff. Melanie on Buddah, including a16 page booklet, out soon. Virgil Fox live at the Fillmore East, out soon. FRESH HAIR on Polydor, a few new songs from the London production of Hair, the original cast album on RCA is currently thegrandaddy of Billboards Top LP's, 131 weeks in the top 200 albums in the U.S. One of those things youmight have missed and won't be able to hear again was the 'LG FM program on the Beatles which wasplayed last Sunday. New Regulations which go into effect this month require that Canadian stations play about 25 per cent Canadian talent, minimum. I don't mean to imply there is not that much good musicNorth of the border, but rather major productions such as "The Beatles, from Beginning to End' will not be aired in the future. Also from our friends up in Vancouver one of the best record reviews I have ever seen,it was in the Dec. 29th issue of the Georgia Strait: "THE ARCHIES GREATEST HITS (RCA KES-109).Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, 'chomp,chomp. wooSH POP!" One final review, if you have trouble understanding what jazz is all about, and Idon't suggest for a moment that I do. You might want to listen to DON ELLIS AT THE FILLMORE onColumbia. This double album has excellent liner notes written by Ellis. Two cuts you might start with are Hey Jude and Pussy Wiggle Stomp . . . play them and then read the notes by Ellis about what wasgoing on the night he was recording at the Fillmore. This was the first jazz record I was able to get offon. Next week: where to find Vera Linn, Harry Langdon, Gracie Fields, Tony Hancock and other off thewall goodies. SHALOM Those Five Easy Pieces By MARIZY DOATES Front Movie Critic Five EasyPieces is not the story of a houseful of horny college girls. Capitalizing on the misleading headline ployso familiar to you from the pages of True Confessions, it is rather the story of a man out of placewherever he goes. Jack Nicholson plays Bobby, a dropout concert pianist who can't make it anyplacebut in bed, which he does well but tires of easily. Fleeing the California oil fields to visit his ailing fatherin the San Juans, he takes along at the last moment his bubble gummin' country singin' sex lovin' trueblue all American Okie pregnant girlfriend, Rayette. Along the way, they give a lift to two Alaska bounddikes, after ditching the dikes and s t a s h i n g R a y e t t e in a c o n v e n i e n t m o t e l , ourprotagonist hops a ferry to the "asylum," where he finds his stiff-necked brother Carl coaching Catherine, the classical womb looking for fulfillment. B o bby lowers Catherine's reserve, and raises her skirts, butRayette's precipitous arrival shows the practical Catherine that Bobby, after all, will never come to anygood, no matter how much fun he may be. Bobby is heartbroken, since Catherine is just what he'dalways wanted. So once again he is rootless, without direction, looking for something new to kill a fewmore weeks. When he deserts Rayette at a gas station, it's no surprise. He's no one again, off toanother nowhere. It's a damn good movie, go to see it. "How to Keep Your V.W.

Tlius the necessity of the fool. What gives the clown love as well as laughter is ourrecognition of his spirit within ourselves. Socrates has said: "All opposites are only to be understoodthrough each other." Tragedy and comedy are more than strange bedfellows. One cannot exist withoutthe other. The goat-song is a vital part of Greek tradition. Tragoxs, meaning he-goat is the Greek root fortragedy. Every spring it occurs in honor of Dionysus. The celebration begins in the mountains of Thracewhere the crazy Maenads dance to delirium and later concludes in the Theatre of Epidaurus. The climaxof the festival occurs with the sacrificail slaying of the goat upon the alter of Bacchas, the god of wine.The lascivious satyrs or goat gods of Pan add to the riotous merriment and later evolved into komos, theGreek root for comedy. Peter Brook, director of Marat/Sade and author of "The Empty Space," hasstated: "Theatre asserts itself in the present. This is what can make it so disturbing. No tribute to thelatent power of theatre is as telling as that paid to it by censorship. Instinctively, governments know thatthe living event could create dangerous electricity. Tiiis ancient fear is recognition of ancient potential.The threatre is the arena where living confrontation can take place. "I can take any empty space and callit a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space while someone watches, and this is all that isneeded for an act of theatre . . . ." A crucial question that faces both actor and audience is simply: "Whytheatre at all?" In other words, does the stage have a real place in our lives or is it an anachronismsurviving like an old monument or quaint custom. Why do we applaud? What do we applaud? We need to decide the purpose and function of drama and the stage. What can we explore? What is effective, andwhat is not? Grotowski, like Brook, feels that theatre is not an end in itself Tlieatre is a vehicle, a means,a tool for self study and exploration. Grotowski speaks of theatre as a means to "auto-penetration." Anactor who penetrates himself will necessarily penetrate his audience. To penetrate means to expose. Toexpose oneself is to open up on stage and disclosing ones deepest secrets. Performance is sacrifice.Self sacrifice is disturbing, not innocuous. Theatre is hold because its purpose is holy: To lay bare whatlies in every man. Tlieatre, like voodoo religion, should be based upon practicality. All forms of sacred arthave been destroyed by bourgeois values. Tlieatre should smash through barriers set up by reason.Alienation can work; Brecht showed us that. Tlieatre is bad if it relies on old formulae, old methods, oldjokes% stock scenes and known ends. Have we forgotten how to celebrate? A climax to performancecould be silence. Is this not more rewarding than patronized applaud?

Simon and Schuster, 1971. 399 pp. The concept of timetravel is probably just about as old as time itself, or at least as old as that peculiar animal we call man.The earliest literary allusion I can think of to time travel is in the Old Testament, where Moses isconfronted by God in the form of a burning bush. "Who shall I say has sent me?" Moses asks, and Bushreplies, "Tell them I Am hath sent you." In this case, the Biblical scholars tell us, the word we translate "IAm" is untranslatable but encompasses the ideas "I Was," "I Am," and "I Forever Will Be," without thesense of time progression our language locks us into. Past present future all ARE (IS); coexistent mentaland physical realities that are separated only by our belief that they^are separated. That's one of thereasons I like Jack Finney's new novel "Time and Again." Finney treats the problem of time travel not asone to be solved through technological gadgetry, but as a mental barrier that can be thought through. Ittakes a very special kind of personality, Finney suggests, but within man's mind is a natural capabilitywhich, if developed, can bypass what we call the dimensional barrier of time. Whether or not such a thing is possible, Finney makes it seem logical and plausible, and this lends a believability to the book thatmost "science fiction" stories lack. To call "Time and Again" science fiction, in fact, seems almostblasphemy-against Finney, not against sci-fi. Finney's novel transcends the rather mechanical andinsensitive structure of the science fiction form in just about every conceivable way. "Time and Again,"behind the fantasy of its conception and the relaxed Victorian comfort of its style, is an analysis ofcultural trends; of lifestyle and quality. Si Morley, a New York commercial artist, is chosen by a top-secret government agency to think himself into the past, to the New York City of 1882. After extensivetraining he succeeds, and finds himself involved in a culture tantalizingly familiar yet unmistakenly foreignin several basic ways. The spirit of the city is different-less concrete, less frantic, more contoured, moretied to the land it sits on. The buildings-not rising in defiance above the earth, but blending in lovingcompromise. Farms and parks and woods checkering the city. And the noise-soft, natural, no cars ortrucks or airplanes. A city that gives you time and space to think, to relax, to feel your body in harmonywith its surroundings rather than entrapped in modern plastic casing. Not that New York 1882 doesn'thave its problems. Slums possibly even worse than today's, thousands of overworked and underfed, poorcity engineering that contributes more than its share to the periodic epidemics that sweep the city.Intertwined in all this is an extremely well-done mystery story which I will say no more about so you canenjoy it for yourself. I will, however, give away one part of the ending, because I think it's important to anunderstanding and appreciation of the novel. Si Morley decides not to return to the present. Finney hasgiven us a cultural value judgment: the present has gone too far; it would be better if we could go back intime and start over again. So, as omniscient author, he allows his hero to wipe out ninety years of history and become a member of a different world. That's fine, and in the novel it works, but it's not an avenueopen to the average alienated American. You and I can't (and quite possibly wouldn't) transport ourselvesto a different time-space. We're stuck with this one, and with the relatively minor ways we can manipulate it. Because Finney allows Si Morley to use this escape hatch, the novel becomes in a significant way-despite the gentle rolling humor of its style-a bitter work. The present, it implies, is just not worth it.Whether or not you agree with his judgment, this dark undercurrent gives "Time and Again" heaviersubstance than surface appraisal indicates, and makes it perhaps, in a sociological, sense, somethingmore than mere entertainment. ---------- Western Front - 1971 January 29 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, January 29, 1971 Counseling Service Interprets Draft Moderate Wins U of WElection By GLEN JONES Front Reporter The problems of our nation's Selective Service system arecomplex and confusing to nearly every young man from late teens to mid-twenties. Three years ago,Western's dean of men felt it necessary to establish a draft counseling service to deal with the growingnumber of students seeking guidance in draft problems. Wally Sigmar, a graduate student and assistant to the dean of men, is draft counselor at Western this year with offices in VU 218 and OM 218. Sigmar,also a member of the Army Reserves, is earning his masters on an internship in student personneladministration. "My feeling is that anyone who's really desperate to get out of the draft, can get out if hereceives counseling early enough," he said. Stresses Confidentiality Working three to four office hoursdaily, Sigmar handles a variety of counseling circumstances related directly and indirectly with draftproblems. "Everything is kept highly confidential," he said. "Absolutely nothing said in conference goesbeyond my office." "I have my own personal and political views, but I try to divorce that from my work,"Sigmar added. "I offer as many alternatives as possible, advice and counsel as well," he said. But whileseparating his verbal opinions from his work, Sigmar still feels that his moral consciousness enters intothe job. "I am against the draft system, and therefore am a better counselor than someone in favor of itbecause I'm more determined to see that students get a fair deal," he said. Sigmar also feels that hisexperience in the military gives him a good perspective and background in military law, which isa.pertinent aid to his counseling. Professional References A lot of people come to the counseling service asking for references to help with particular problems, Sigmar said. Some students need professionalhelp, and don't know where to go. "I have names of doctors and lawyers who are very objective aboutsincere cases," Sigmar said. Sigmar keeps a list of lawyers who will give free legal advice, or helpwithout substantial fees. He feels this is important, since few students are financially well off. He alsokeeps track of physicians who are open and unbiased. Students want someone who's going to be fair, he said. Deferments and Options "Many students are dropping out and losing their II-S deferments, theywant to know what their alternatives are," he said. Sigmar explained that there are a total of seventeendeferments in the Selective Service system. Usually a person is eligible for at least one of thosedeferments. The majority of problems occur with those persons who wait too long before looking into thefacts, he said. The most commonly known deferments are the II-S school deferment, I-Y medicaldeferment, and CO., or conscientious objector. If, for example, a student wants to apply for a CO.,Sigmar first gives him books and handouts on the subject, then procedural instruction on the probabilityof his chances. Next, when the student .comes back to the office, Sigmar recommends him to a "CO.counselor," someone who has been through it all. These "CO. counselors" are students with CO.'s whohave voluntarily contacted the draft counseling service to offer their aid to prospective candidates. Thetwo "last resort" options are refusal of induction and/or emigration from the country. "These two are a final recourse, but I definitely would not recommend either one," Sigmar said. I have names of doctors ...who are very objective about sincere cases . i i No Feedback "Probably one of the most frustratingthings about this office is the lack of feedback," he said. Sigmar said he views the draft counselingservice as sort of a clearing house for all kinds of information pertaining to the draft. "The feedback wouldlet me know how effective I am as a counselor and what the situation in this area is at all times," heexplained. If, for example, he recommends a particular student to a lawyer in Seattle to battle a draftinduction in court, it would be helpful to receive the outcome and details of the trial for use in futurecases. Busy Counselor During Fall quarter 1970 Sigmar saw over 80 people on a weekly basis ascounselor. So far this quarter he's seen approximately 50 people a week. Sigmar accredited the quarterly difference to: the "loophole" controversy of last quarter, incoming freshmen inquiring about SelectiveService forms, and the turnover in re-classifications at that time of the year. Beside his office hours oncampus and outside appointments with individual cases, Sigmar is involved with the rest of thecommunity too. He works fairly close with local clergy in sharing the counseling load. Occasionally herefers individual cases to clergy, or clergymen may refer cases to his office. The Crisis Clinic also hasSigmar's number and sends cases to him through their telephone service. Engaging in civic activity,Sigmar spoke to a group of high school students at a local church Wednesday. His purpose was toenlighten students coming of draft age by explaining their future with the draft and holding a question-answer session. Sigmar has talked with the Draft Resisters League of Fairhaven College and given themadvice. But he wishes to stress that draft counseling service and the Resisters League are in no wayaffiliated. The counseling service is not connected with the Associated Students (AS) of Western either,Sigmar said. Personal Responses When asked his personal reaction to Tuesday's Front editorial dealing with an all-volunteer army, Sigmar said, "I strongly agree, and I'm definitely in favor of a volunteer army."From what I've seen personally, it seems they're already setting the groundwork for an all-volunteerarmy," he said. Sigmar described recent army pay raises, weakening of hair-length restrictions, and thecurrent re-vamping of GI barrack living as definite moves toward that type of armed service. But he wenton to admit that one good argument left against such an army is the possibility of full-time mercenariesand corruption. Landlords get socked , too Students might not be the only ones hit hard if the proposedtuition increase is passed. Bellingham landlords may also be affected. At Jeast that's what the housingcommission plans to find out. Craig Cole, housing commission director, said that the housingcommission plans to do a survey on what effect the tuition increase will have on off-campus studentrenters. Cole said that the survey will take place in about two weeks. The Front asked Cole how muchthe landlords could lose if the tuition goes up. Cole answered, "In a conservative estimate, if 400 students have to leave school, landlords could lose approximately SI6,00 a month." The survey could verify Cole'sfigures. Cole added, "If there is a raise in tuition, this will also open up the housing market." Cole saidthat would give the students who stay in school more opportunity to pick and choose their housing."Where the landlords may lose out," Cole said, "is in the two-bedroom for four students type housing."With an open market, students would have a better chance to find improved living facilities. RalphAnderson is the new president of the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW).Few students voted in last week's election. Candidates who ran on moderate tickets, like Anderson,swept most positions on the ballot. This year's ASUW President Rick Silverman sees studentgovernment going back to the I 9 5 0 ' s. ' ' T h e election campaigning has shown a lack of facing theissues," he said. J C Heads To Train Western's campus will be the site for a training program ofWashington's community college trustees. The program will be presented by Western's Center forHigher Education in cooperation with the state Board of C o m m u n i t y College Education. Financedby a grant of $13,394 from the office of e d u c a t i o n of the U.S. D e p a r t m e n t of Health,Education and Welfare the school for trustees will consist of two one-week sessions. The sessions willbe held in October, 1971 and March, 1972. There are 110 community college trustees in the state, fivefor each of the 22 districts. Each trustee is appointed for a five-year term. Four general areas of concern will be emphasized in the t r a i n i n g s e s s i o n s : (1) policy-making, (2) college planning, (3)academic programs and (4) personnel management. Trustees will discuss problem areas encounteredby them at the local level. Coordinator and director of the training program will be Sam Kelly, director ofWestern's center for higher education. Help Wanted By Commission The program's commission islooking for volunteers to work on publicity for its upcoming concerts and lectures. Chairman SueRafanelli said the volunteers would help make posters and do ads. "We need creative people to givetheir time," she said. Besides bringing concerts and lectures to campus, the commission also arrangesdances and the art and Sunday film series. Miss Rafanelli said any students interested in working forthe commission can call her at 676-3738. Anderson, who ran a moderate campaign, edged "Free You"ticket head Bill Felice in last week's two day election, 1,103 to 1,068. Mike Nelson, another pro-moderate, ran third in a field of seven with 1,056. Coalitions running on a strong student-power platformwere the big losers. On referendum questions, voters came out in strong support for legalization of m a r i j u a n a , i m m e d i a te withdrawal from Vietnam and retaining head football coach Jim Owens anddirector of the sports program Joe Kearney. Students voted agains the legalization of LSD. A proposalto use $1 per student in student fees to finance a campus branch of Nader's Raiders was passed by asmall margin. Funding for the Anti-Ballistic Missile system and the Super Sonic Transport was turneddown. VETS REMIND EVANS OF BONUS BILL "We're not going to let the Governor forget the veterans' bonus bill," the secretary of Western's veterans' group has declared. William Freund, who is also thesecretary of the statewide organization, said that the bill might not get passed this year or even next butthe veterans' lobby would keep trying until it does pass. Freund also announced plans for a book loanprogram which will partially relieve the cost of books burden and draw new members into the group.Outlining some of the goals of the vets group on campus, Freund said that veterans can come to thegroup's office in VU 225 with any questions they might have on GI benefits. He said that sometimesfinancial assistance can be arranged. A limited job service also is in operation. Freund said that thisquarter no dues are required for membership and that any veteran who comes to a meeting and fills outthe papers will be considered a member. At the present time only the executive board of the group ismeeting but anyone who is interested may attend. The meetings are held at 4 p.m. every Wednesday inVU 225. Over 100,000 acres were lost to fires in the Eastern Washington area last summer. Timi) 1 1In the Bellingham Mall â€¢ It's FLAIR time at the HUNTSMAN...

Photo By RON GRAHAM Butterfly Master Aids Swim Team By JACKIE LAWSONFront Reporter Remember that story about the fish that was allergic to water? Western's swim team has its own proverbial "fish." T o m Ward, sophomore master of the butterfly, is allergic to chlorine. Anunusual affliction for a swimmer, Ward's allergy forces him to wear protective goggles during practice.His skin also dries up when he is exposed to chlorinated water. W a r d ' s swimming career beganwhen he was five, but actually blossomed at age six when he took his first lessons. He tried out for aspot on the Cascade swim team in Bellevue, b u t flunked the entrance requirements. At age nine hecompeted in the Boy's Club swim meet, held for all clubs in Seattle and Tacoma. The preliminariesshowed Ward's true style. He placed first in the 13-and-under division for free style, and when his timewas checked against his age group it was discovered he had almost set a national record. The finals,however, turned into disaster when Ward became tangled in the ropes and placed fourth, "out of four," he ruefully admitted. " M y s t y l e was very u n c o n v e n t i o n a l then," he quipped. U n d a u n t e d, Ward kept p r a c t i c i n g and was finally admitted to Cascade's elite ranks at age 12. Ward's career blossomed at Bellevue High School where he was varsity letterman and qualified to swim in the statemeet for three years. ' ' I swam just about everything then," he added. His decision to attend Westernwas based around the fact that the college was smaller, which made it easier to compete. " I n otherwords, there was a lower level of competition," he said. Ward decided to specialize in the butterfly twoweeks after turnout began, however, he swims as much freestyle as butterfly. When asked why hechose the butterfly as a specialty stroke Ward quipped, "I d i d n ' t - t he coach did. He places you inwhat he thinks you're best at." His best competitors have been Central's butterfly masters. "Anyonefrom Central in my stroke is really something to shoot for," he sighed. Last year Ward placed second in conference, but first and third w e r e t a k e n by Central swimmers. In that conference he was clocked at 2:20 flat in the 200 yard butterfly, and 56:7 in the 100 yard "fly" in the relay split. T h e team, inWard's estimation, is quite a bit better than last year's. He attributes their strength to Rich Wertman,sophomore transfer student from Bellevue Community College. "Wertman adds strength to all events,but especially to the Individual Medly. T h e league is presently expanding, and Western is nowcompeting against Oregon teams. Southern Oregon is about as strong as Central, according to Ward.Ward appears to be dedicated to his sport for he puts in extra time weight lifting and "getting intoshape." "As the coach told us, 'Be sure you're thinking about your strokeâ€”think about it while you'rewalking between classes. Know what you want to do, then do i t , " he said. Swim coach Don Wiseman informed the team there would b e , no set t r a i n i ng p r o g r a m - " e x c e p t that we should be inthe weight gym three times a week," Ward said. C o a c h Wiseman is a fundamentalist, according toWard. "He goes down to the very basics and is very good," Ward said. Ward plans to major in physical education and minor in Health Sciences, and hopes someday to teach at the college level. He wouldalso like to coach swimming and possible gymnastics. He plans to swim for Western the remainder ofhis college career. "I don't think it's good to quit. Quitting doesn't aid the team. I haven't yet reached my peak and feel I must push myself some more," he said. Cagers Face Eastern In Crucial Tilt Western'scagers travel to Cheney this weekend for a crucial contest with Evergreen C o n f e r e n c e leader,Eastern Washington Saturday night, 8 p.m. Western will go into the game in a "must win" situation,being 4-2 in league action and not able to afford another Evco loss. The Savages are 5-0 in league playand 10-7 overall. Six times this season they have scored over the century mark and are averaging 90-points a game under head coach Dr. Jerome Krause' theory of fast-break basketball. Eastern is led inscoring by Randy Buss (18.5), who is the conference's leading rebounder with a 12.2 average per game. Buss is one of five Savages scoring in double figures. The others are forward Steve Barnett 16.5, centerDave Hay den 15.5, guard George Gamble 12.5 and guard Darryl Harris 10.9. A possible change in theViking starting lineup is the moving of Gary White from forward to guard. In White's spot would be JohnReed whose play in recent games has been exceptional. Other than that, Larson and Lee Roy Shultswill be at guard and forward, respectively, with Rudy Thomas at center. Shults was named Viking"Player-of-the-Week" for his 32 points and 25 rebounds in last weekend's two games. Ski PowderSpring skiing; powder snow, sunshine, apres-ski activities. All spell Sun Valley.

Western's Blue Barnacles, in existence since 1926, dance in the water almost every day. TheBarnacles, a club funded by the women's physical education department, consists of about 20 members, 18 women and two men, and is coached by Miss Sandra Gallemore, women's P.E. instructor. Themembers practice four and one half hours per week for one show, held at Western every Spring. Thisyear's event, to be held February 19 and 20, will be based around the theme "An Evening at Television,"according to sophomore Carol Cassedy, president of the Blue Barnacles. The Barnacles will taketelevision theme songs and choreograph them. There are no specific qualifications for becoming amember of the group, except proficiency in the crawl, side stroke, breaststroke and float. In addition tothe one annual show, the Barnacles also attend an annual seminar, usually held someplace inWashington, where all schools in the state bring their choreographed acts together, are reviewed andrated by a panel of judges. Last year however, the seminar was held at the University of Oregon.Western's Barnacles received a rating of three (one is high, five is low), despite competing against someinternationally known groups. The procedure for choreographing a number can be time consuming,according to Miss Cassedy. The music must be selected, the beats throughout the entire piece counted, a sketchy idea of what patterns are desired decided upon, more counting required, and finally practiceand choreography begin. The procedure takes about four hours if many people are working together,however it can take an entire day if only one person is left with the task. One of the stunts the Barnacles perform include the back dolphin, requiring the participant to flota on the back, body kept straight, andbegin, head first, to turn a complete circle under water. Another, stunt is the ballet leg, consisting offloating on the back, raising one leg in the air. perpendicular to the body. Blue Barnacles is not only open to those interested in aquatics. Other areas of participation include sewing costumes, lighting and taping the background music. It is important to realize that synchronized swimming is not swimming ballet,but rather modern dance in the water, Miss Cassedy said. Deck work, the act of performing out of water, is also an important segment of the Barnacles' routine. There are two ways to enter the water gracefully,following a deck routine. The. first is the Jump Entrance, where the participant enters feet first, and thesecond is -the Dive Entrance, where the head enters-first. The art of synchronized swimming is based on precision, timing, music and correct expression of that music. P.E. Changes Foreseen The recent drop of the physical education requirement will likely result in several major changes in the P.E. departmentaccording to William Tomaras and Margaret 'Aitken, chairmen of the men's and women's P.E. The dropwill cause severe enrollment drops initially, will result in faculty cutbacks and will shift the emphasis ofthe P.E. program towards individual activity in their estimation. "The overall effect will be, I expect, aninitial and rather severe enrollment drop in activity classes but within a year enrollment will bounce up to around 75 per cent of what it was earlier," Tomaras said. "Probably we'll be asked to cut back staff," headded, but "that's kind of unfair since many are working in other areas such as coaching or intramuralswhich don't yield credit hours." "It (the requirement drop) will re-orient the kinds of things we offer,"Aitken said, and "the number of team sports will be reduced." Both Tomaras and Aitken were somewhat optimistic about the overall results of the P.E. drop. They expect several advantages to come out of the projected changes in the P.E. departments. The program will be composed of smaller class sizesincluding only those students who are interested in taking the course. It also allows Western to makethe transition to a complete elective program before being forced into it through the inadequacy offacilities and faculty, Tomaras said. Presently there are about 175 students majoring in men's P.E. with60-75 minors which will obviously continue taking courses. The many students who take activity courses for increasing skills or just enjoyment further bolster the need physical do it on their to class for help," Aitken Aitken both Academic Council drop P.E. with numbers of students who will remain in P.E.courses. "Let's hope we're at the stage of sophistication where people realize that _ they activity andwill own or come instruction and said. Tomaras and viewed the decision to misgivings. "You canmake a case on either side of the coin," Tomaras said, and "it really is a mixed bag." "The trouble isthat too many people don't want to be objective today," he added, and "objectivity certainly wasn't atwork in the council decision." Tomaras pointed out several good reasons for retaining such a P.E.requirement including: â€”ample scientific evidence to show that people of all ages need physicalactivity. â€” people aren't likely to participate in things they have no skill in. â€” people won't do whatthey're not skilled in unless their arm is twisted a little bit. He l i k e n e d a P.E. requirement to ageneral education c ourse in English composition. Students probably wouldn't take such a course if itweren't required he pointed out. "Physical activity is a part of our culture and society," he said. Students can take the courses pass-fail if they want he said. In his recollection no student had been flunked inP.E. under the pass-fail system. "The only ones that lose out under this deal are the students," heconcluded. Blue Barnacles perform single leg ballet in preparation for annual show and seminar Photo By RON GRAHAM from the SIDELINES By Ron Graham The Evergreen Conference basketballchampionship is still open to question, especially in the light of Whitworth's upset of Central 61-55 lastTuesday night. In fact, the Whit worth Pirates are making a habit of upsetting the state colleges' plans forgrabbing the conference title. Central and Eastern were the only two undefeated teams prior to theWhitworth win, with Western and Whitworth tied at 4-2 in conference play. Now the picture is radicallyreorganized. Eastern is all alone on top the conference with a 5-0 record. Central follows with a 4-1 mark, then Whitworth at 5-2 and Western holding a 4-2 record. The big weekend is just ahead as Central andWestern will assault unbeaten Eastern in Cheney. Central meets Eastern tonight and Western plays theSavages tomorrow. What would work out best from Western's angle would be for Central to be beaten onEastern's home court and then for Western to knock off Eastern. That would level Central and Westernwith two losses apiece. Eastern would have one loss and still would have to take on Central and Western away from home. Furthermore, they face a road trip into Oregon which might result in some losses. Ifthis possibility actually develops then the title will be decided between Central and Western in Ellensburg. Assuming that neither team loses after this weekend (that's when a Central loss is hoped for), Centraland Western will have the best records and decide the conference championship on Feb. 19. Chances fora Western Victory on the Wildcat home court aren't too bad. Coach Randall looks for a close game ifWestern can put up more shots than Central like they did last weekend. The Vikings shot nearly twentymore shots than the Wildcats in their 78-69 loss last Friday. That was what Randall called "one ofWestern's better games" but he still thinks the Viks can beat Central. If tilings go according to schedule,up to the Central-Western game, it could be worth the trip over to Ellensburg.

The resultwas the creation of the AS Governance Commission. Although the commission was created to make the AS more democratic, the commissioners will be chosen by the deans of the colleges. The commission will mainly be composed of 29 student commissioners who will represent the seven colleges oncampus, including four at-large students. "There are seven people representing over 11,000 studentsâ€” that doesn't seem like a model that represents very well," said Hyun Berglund, Associated Students vice president for Business and Operations. "Hopefully, down the road this would be an elected studentthing and would have more legitimacy than being selected," Berglund said. Berglund said thecommission should be active beginning fall quarter 1998, with the deans selecting the firstcommissioners by this spring. The Governance Commission charter stated the purpose is to be"responsible for student involvement in governance at Western Washington University. Thecommission will establish policies, keep open communication lines throughout campus and represent the student body on critical student issues." Theoretically, the Commission would deal with issuessuch as recreation space for students, the on-campus bike policy and the student technology fee.These students are to represent the interest of the entire school. Berglund said governance issues willgo through the commission, but the AS board will also be involved. The Governance Commission willbe chaired by the AS Vice President for Legislative and Community Affairs, with the AS Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs sitting on the board as a non-voting member. "Any process of change takes somerisk ... you may not see immediate benefit, but you have to look long term," Vice President for StudentAffairs Eileen Coughlin said. Berglund said she hopes the commission will promote a campus- widedialogue and better communication between the colleges. "I'm surprised about how little people knowabout what is going on on campus," Berglund said. "This will give the opportunity for students to find outwhat the AS does." "People on the Governance Commission will sit on other committees to give them a broader perspective of what is going on around campus," Berglund said. Leslie Keller, last year's ASBoard President, under which the charge and charter were drafted, said one of the~goals of thecommission is to empower the commission. "(Last year's board) wanted to give the GovernanceCommission as much power as we legally can, but there are legal documents that cite the ASboard as the ultimate body," Keller said. "But if this really took off, there is a possibility that the AScould change those documents." "Down the road we .hope that the vision grows and people find it anecessary part of this governance structure," Berglund said.

Protestant Minister Hans Viss-er of Rotterdam decided to start the program on a local level after his national proposal didn't raise enough political interest. Visser hadalready found several drug dealers willing to sell heroin to the church at a discount. "It is the best(heroin) for sale, abroad as well," Visser said.

Ricky Wassenaar decided to act as his own attorney robbing an adulttheater and shooting at police officers. The 34-year-old claimed he was framed by a guy named "Jim"who put a "date-rape pill" in his drink. Wassenaar claimed he became confused, put on a bullet-proofvest, grabbed a gun and a ski mask from his own vehicle and committed the robbery. Wassenaar alsostated that he wasn't leading the police on a car chase, but that he was just trying to get out of theirway. He denied shooting at officers and called himself a "fool" for being tricked by "Jim." .The jury didn'tbuy Wass-enaar's story and found him guilty of eight counts of aggravated assault and one count ofrobbery.

Compiled by Mike Dashiell from Internet sourcesFormer experimentalist talks about mushrooms By Kevin Rus The Western Front Twenty-five years agoas a self-proclaimed "misfit hippie," Dave Jansen was learning about edible plants in the wild. He saidhe was also a "misfit hippie looking for drugs" and started experimenting with hallucinogenicmushrooms. Wednesday night, Jansen and Jeremy Ferrera gave a workshop sponsored by the DrugInformation Center on hallucinogenic mushrooms in the Wilson Library presentation room. Jansen andFerrera, both hobby mycologists (mushroom scientists), spoke about the history of hallucinogenicmushrooms, how to distinguish them from poisonous mushrooms and their legality. Hallucinogenicmushrooms were not frequently experimented with until the early '70s. During this time, westernWashington became known for its mushrooms, Jansen said. "Around 1973-74, students at theUniversity of Washington were finding hundreds to thousands of the Psilocybin (hallucinogenic)mushrooms," Jansen said. "Whatcom County became known for its Liberty Caps (a psilocybinmushroom,)" Jansen said. "People from all over â€” California, Ariz-ona â€” were running all Psilocybecyanescens, a hallucinogenic over the farmers' fields looking for the mushrooms. A popular place for thepsilocybin mushrooms is on cow dung, so many pickers will go into pastures looking for them. "Youcan be cited for trespass if you are on somebody's property without permission," Ferrera said. Alongwith a citation for trespass, a picker can be cited with possession of psilocybin, a Class C felonypunishable with up to a 5-year maximum sentence. If a person is caught attempting to deliverpsilocybin, he or she can be charged with a Class B felony punishable with a maximum of 10 years in jail or a $25,000 fine. After running through the legality issues, Jansen and Ferrera spoke about thedangers of picking mushrooms. Picking the wrong mushroom can be fatal. Eating a poisonousmushroom can cause liver or kidney damage, comas and even.death, Ferrera said. "Some treatments(for poisonous mushrooms) will actually cause" death," Ferrera said. Ferrera said the problems peopleexperience with mushrooms have to do with the "indigestible proteins." "Some symptoms (of poisoning)are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, headaches and painful cramps," Ferrera said Jansen and Ferrera aremembers of the Northwest Mushroom Association and were asked to speak because of the dangersCourtesy of the Internet involved with picking mushrooms, mushroom, which grows on rotting wood.Andrea Bressler, coordinator for the Drug Information Center, said. "We are aware it's picking season. Alot of people are out looking for mushrooms and you can't identify a mushroom unless you do a sporeprint or have a qualified person identify it for you," Bressler said. Jansen and Ferrera gave directions onhow to do a spore print â€” by pulling the cap off a mushroom and placing it on white paper with a glassover it so air currents won't blow the spores away. They also showed slides of different mushrooms,Psilocybin arid poisonous, explaining how to identify a Psilocybin mushroom by its cap, gills, bruisingand spore print. "It is actually a lot more complicated than this," Ferrera said, after the brief explanation. "The only way to truly identify a mushroom is through the use of a microscope," Jansen said. PaulSwanson, a senior at Western and an outdoor education major, went to the workshop to "learn moreabout mushrooms." "I knew most of the stuff, but occasional tidbits are helpful," he said. Amber Jones Radclif, an undeclared senior, said she went because she wanted to learn more about ediblemushrooms, not hallucinogenic ones. "I was here to check it outâ€” to see if they were talking aboutedible mushrooms, but they didn't," Radclif said.

Presented by the Veterans Outreach Center and the Women's Center, the noon-time celebration attracted approximately 150 students, veterans and families to the Old Main lawn andlasted nearly 45 minutes. Roland L. De Lorme, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs atWestern, opened the event with an overview of women's roles in the U.S. military. He noted that since1973, the percentage of women in the armed forces has risen from two to 11 percent. The United States has the largest number and percentage of women in military roles in the world, he said. "War has nologic," De Lorme said, and war is an "all-inclusive national experience." De Lorme observed that although women have been serving in the armed forces in various roles since 1901, they've been offered veteranstatus only since 1977, "Veterans represent a cross section of our culture," he said Our recognition (of veterans) today must know no boundaries â€” fn freeflive free, die j^g0ll ||g||ks (to) our vewfans^9hnkyou! â€” Message off jltze WSWJPJ/ J0nembjAce race, ethnicity or gender," DeLorme said.

Associated Students' variousentertainment and service-oriented clubs plan benefit shows at a pace of one per quarter, including aRock For Choice benefit last year and a Hands Off Washington benefit concert tentatively slated forwinter quarter 1998. McElderry said he sees benefit shows as imperative in drummirig up support ona grander scale and encouraging year-round altruism. "My hope is that the benefit shows we do will getstudents thinking about getting involved in any number of causes," McElderry said, adding that throughvolunteerism people can gain experience and learn more about themselves. "Admittedly, volunteerism is draining and many people burn but, but the benefits of doing service and making yourself very valuableto a particular sector is a great thing," he said. "It makes us more human and more conscious of otherpeople," he said. "It's very satisfying to embrace people who are marginalized and reach out tothem," McElderry said. was able to break through common gender barriers, but she had to workharder and longer than her male counterparts. In reference to Veterans Day, Brown- Winkles madeharsh, personal comments. "We forget the purpose (of the holiday) sometimes," she said. Last yearon Nov. 22, Brown-Winkles lost several friends in a fatal cargo plane crash. "I will never trivializeVeterans Day ever again," she said. The keynote speaker, U.S. Navy Lt. Denice Donnell, spokeabout her service in the military as a pilot. Donnell flies a P-3 Orion aircraft in Patrol Squadron #46,stationed on Whidbey Island. She is only one of two female pilots in the squadron, but observed, "I'm not unique; there are thousands of men and women (doing the job)." Donnell told the story of Army FlightSurgeon Rhonda Corrium, whose book, "She Went To War,": recounts a harrowing experience duringthe Gulf War. Cornum spent seven days behind enemy lines as a prisoner of war. Donnell admits that she sometimes gets caught up in "mundane things" on Veterans Day, but that it's important toremember the sacrifices made by veterans. Sherron Morris, a Bellingham elementary school teacher,recounted her days as a Defense Dependents School teacher in Germany.

Veterans and observers were invited to a reception following the ceremony in Viking Union 300. The reception included a "Wall of Remembrance." The wall was divided into twoparts; one section had vintage newspapers of significant military events (mostly old Seattle PostIntelligencer papers about World War II) and the other a long sheet of paper, open for notes to past orcurrent vets. Poems from veterans were also stapled on the wall. Among the messages written forveterans was one that read, "Born free, live free, die free, all thanks (to) our veterans, thank you!"

The term has often been used in literaturecourses in rather obscure cases, with even more obscure connotations. Books like Herman Melville's"Moby Dick" and John Steinbeck's "Grapes Of Wrath" are singled out as texts that merit our country'sdefining term. So what is a great American novel?. History Professor Kathleen Kennedy said she sees it as "a novel (that) would critique or engage an essential component of an American experience." Tonarrow down the American experience in one book is impossible, according to most educators.. EnglishProfessor Laura Laffredo admitted, "It doesn't exist â€” it's too subjective." Laffredo went on to say that for certain times in our cultural past, books like Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are great, butcan't define America as a whole. "My impression is that the Great American Novel has been a joke termfor two or three decades now," Harvard English Professor Leo Damrosch said. "It implied a certain notionof 'greatness' as well as of Americanness that now seems inappropriate. No one talks about the GreatBritish Novel." Damrosch said. Laffrado mused that perhaps Americans think of the Great AmericanNovel the way we think of Santa â€” something only slightly more real than a fairy tale. EnglishProfessor Bruce Goebel disagrees. "No. (It's) a myth that is driven by our desire to feel unified inAmerica. Great novels do exist, but no one literary text can define it." He acknowledged Ralph Ellison's"Invisible Man" as perhaps the "most accomplished" in American literature. English Professor BonnieBarthold admits there probably isn't such a novel, but the next closest thing would be Melville's "MobyDick." "He creates a microcosm of America. (Moby Dick) addresses ideas of color, power; (Melville) was ahead of his time." Barthold said. "It's the one we couldn't get along without." The term "Great AmericanNovel" has been with us for a long time, but during a point in history as subjective as the terms "great"and "American." "I suspect the label is a carryover from the 19th century predilection for thinking aboutculture as the accomplishment of an elite corps of great men â€” and sometimes, a woman or two," saidHistory Professor Mart Stewart, This elite corps created a canon, a nearly sacred list of great books."Until about 30 years ago, we all had the same, moire or less, list of great American novels," Stewartsaid. Stewart points to Norton's "Anthology of American Literature" as a good source of authors whohave never been considered part of the established canon.-"Now, all good novels are great Americannovels, though different novels are great to different Americans," Stewart said. The Great American Novelwas meant to unify the country's culture. With the increasing diversity of that culture, the term's relevance is now in question. "I think we need the Great American Novelbecause we all hope our lives havemeaning and we expect our novelists to show us what that meaning is," English Professor Meredith Cary said. 'The writer's task was easier when we used to talk as if middle and professional class valuestructures were the key to American life." Cary points to Robert Penn Warren's "All The King's Men" asan example. The novel portrays American dreams and fears in terms of politics and blood lines. "Now we need a novel which shows how we function as a tolerant mix of cultures, all successful withinthemselves," Cary said. "Our generic politics try to make one culture dominant and the rest 'marginal."Unfortunately, our publishing industry isolates these strands rather than bringing them together, and so I don't think we yet have a Great American Novel for our generation," Cary added. Kennedy mentionedauthors Toni Morrison and Dorothy Allison as authors who critique and engage American culture."Whether either has written a great American novel is up for debate," Kennedy said. "Both 'Beloved' byMorrison and Allison's 'Bastard Out Of Carolina' are examples of novels that interrogate an Americanexperience." English Professor John Purdy gave a list of great novels produced in the United States:among them, William Faulkner's "Absalom, Absalom," Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were WatchingGod," Maxine Hong Kingston's "Woman Warrior," James Welch's "Winter in the Blood," and Ellison's"Invisible Man." Whether the Great American Novel exists or not, the term seems to have outlived itstime. 'The term Great American Novel is, I suspect, now in the dustbin of history," Stewart said. "Wehave fine writers, though, and so I'm sure the fiction we need will come along," Cary said. Review Jointhe Army National Guard and this is what you'll be telling your friends.

Call: 1-800-GO-GUARD WASHINGTON Engine 54: Ska is saxy By Tina Potterf The Western Front A row of vacuous eyes fixed hard on Pacer as the band took to the Viking Union MainLounge stage. Within minutes, this local ensemble began its assault on convention, employingexplosive, commanding elements of syncopation and maniacal percussions while spitting out free-flowprose as compelling and angular as Pacer's trademark abrasive sound. The Feds and headliners Engine54 joined Pacer at last Saturday's ska extravaganza sponsored by Associated Students Popular Music.Sans guitar and one dominant, lead vocalist, Pacer defies a clear-cut definition as it combines fragmentsOf jazz, rock, folksy-blues and pop music and then alters these segments of varying genres bytransforming genre-specific sounds into refreshing musical hybrids that are amazing live. Entwining athrobbing bassline and emotionally-charged saxophone renderings with staccato lyrical delivery is whatmakes Pacer so intriguing and hypnotic; however, many attending a ska show likely Were befuddled by the-decisively non-ska sounds of Pacer, but this in no way seemed to deteriorate the band's appeal asthe audience quickly warmed up to the trio's remarkable music. The throng of ska fanatics that hadpacked the VU Main Lounge were sweating aplenty by the time the Feds assembled and initiated itscommercialized, albeit impressive, brand of ska that had the mass undulating and pulsating withinminutes. The Feds's horns blared with the best of old-school ska intentions as the mini-horn section filledeach cut with a rockabilly sensibility that may not be original, but is highly danceable and audience-engaging. Olympia's Engine 54 capped the night with its polished, old-school ska sound that is energeticand broadly appealing â€” mainly because the band has been able tq stick close to its rockabilly andJamaican-esque music roots and stay true to its growing fan base. Engine 54 are unapologetic, well-trained ska musicians who pen intelligent lyrics that bode well along the lines of success. Throughpresenting honest, throbbing ska music in its truest form, Engine 54 kept the almost full-capacity, ska-fashions-wearing audience enthralled and wide-eyed through the very last song. CONCERT REVIEW ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 14 - Page 6 ---------- By Karl Horeis The Western Front 44 I t's absolutely the most astounding experience you can imagine as an artist," Shirley Erikson said, squinting into the sunlight beaming through her window. A line ofbrigMf, organic shapes in glass along the window sill splashed colored light across the room. Eriksonmoved through the house, showing works she had done and explaining the processes taught to her inclasses such as, "Fusing, Slumping and Public Art." She spoke quickly, excited to show her projects and excited to have the chance to describe Pilchuck, the world-renowned glass school founded by DaleChihuly. "Dale had the vision," she said. "He is the reason Pilchuck is there." Nestled in a wilderness inStanwood, Wash., Pilchuck celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. Since the first "hot shop" was builtin 1971, Pilchuck has become, in the words of Shirley Erikson, "the Mecca for glass workers." Eriksonhas attended five of the two-and-a-half week sessions offered at the school. She has received twoscholarships and has worked as a tour guide for the campus during the two times a year Pilchuck opensto the public. . Pilchuck employs an "Artist-in-Residence" program, selecting distinguished,professional artists as teachers for the 18-day sessions. These artists are selected following a nomination by previous residents and, according to the Pilchuck application/catalogue for 1997, they "become astimulating force in the educational program and bring insight and experience from other avenues ofexpression." Past AiRs have included Chihuly, Deborah Butterfield and Maya Lin, who is known forcreating the "Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC. Classes at the school are usually no larger than 10students. Each class is run by one AiR and two teaching assistants. Erikson said that during onesession at Pilchuk, she was the only American in her class. "There was an Australian instructor, aSouth African student, a German, two Japanese and a man from France," she said. "We all spokedifferent languages, but the common thread was glass," she added. Pilchuck offers dormitories andcottages for each session. Students living in the dorms share two bathrooms with 17 others and those inthe cottages share a room with one person and a bathroom with three others. No single, private rooms orprivate baths are available. "The campus has incredible houses that have been made by students over the years," Erikson said. "There is a tree house and some little gnome cottages; and they're all built withwhatever students could find at the local dump." ,,Â»i^,.J ^_ -..^â€¢::.-*...;,^~-~_-..;: Students at Pilchuckwork closely with theirinstructors,r arr^gln^cla'ss-sessions around their schedules. Many studios oncampus are open 24 hours a day, allowing students to work when they feel most productive. Some of the courses offered for 1997 sessions are: "Soft Glass Flame Working," by Lucio Bubaco and "Neon: Iconsin Light," by David Svenson. "Pilchuck totally changed my life," Erikson said, who has also workedclosely with the Western sculpture department in bronze-casting. She said that her experience theremotivated her to return to school, studying subjects like glass-related chemistry. Aris Georgiades, ofthe Western Sculpture faculty, explained that no Western students had attended Pilchuck because "...it's expensive and we don't do any glass here." Depending on the course selected, a session atPilchuck, including room and board, runs from $1,900 to $2,650. Erikson talked about techniques shepracticed at Pilchuck. "Glass is just this magic material," she said. "You can make it look like anything." ' des'cHb^^T^cKUck as "state of the art ..V everything; runs smoothly, staff are very helpful... and thefood is terrific!" Shelby Brakken, a Western student, has a different opinion. Her father Eric Brakken runsan independent glass studio in Seattle and she has visited Pilchuck and grew up exposed to the world ofglass. "Dale Chihuly is over-rated," she said. "He doesn't do any of his own work, other people do it forhim." Brakken described Chihuly's process as a big factory. "His work is like the McDonalds food ofglass art," she said. Chihuly, a Tacoma native, received his bachelor's degree at the University ofWashington and went on to receive master's degrees in both art and fine arts. He serves as the vice-president of Pilchuck. His work usually sells for $10,000 to $200,000. As Erikson finished her house tourshe said she "always leaves Pilchuck totally charged." "The hardest thing to do there is sleep - all youwant to do is create," she said. She walked through her studio to the front window, which was still full ofevening light. ''The setting at Pilchuck is absolutely astounding," she said. "It's like a great vacation,with all the glass you can eat." (Top) Dale Chihuly paints on the deck of his Lake Union glass studio.

By Corey Lewis The Western Front Since the microbrew craze started in the early 1990s, it'snearly impossible to go anywhere without finding a small brewery. Following suit, Orchard StreetBrewery in Bellingham supports the craving for good beer and gourmet food. Orchard Street Brewery, 709 W. Orchard St., is the brainchild of owner Christian Krogstad. He made the recipes for the four year-round beers and two seasonals the brewery carries. Orchard Street is a. medium-sized restaurant that,despite its location in a business park, creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere with its dim lightingand modern decor. The orange walls mix with the lighting and the artwork on the walls to create a richambiance that lets you know from the start that this place is classy. The brewery is also visible throughthe back of the restaurant. The menu offers a variety of gourmet dishes â€” don't go if you're looking for acheeseburger. Orchard Street entrees range from a Rueben sandwich for $7.95, to Salmon en Croute,Coho salmon wrapped with shiitaki and oyster mushrooms in a puff pastry, for $14.75. They also havedaily specials such as a roasted duck breast entree for $15.75. The brewery also offers starters such asSamish Bay oysters for $7.95 and a personal favorite, Chilean Crab Turnovers. The menu is rounded outby a selection of gourmet salads and pizzas, all priced around $8 to $9. The menu is very impressive, but sometimes goes overboard on the gourmet side. The roasted duck is served with four things that I hadno clue as to what they were. But food is food and beer is the reason this place exists. Orchard Streetoffers a wide variety of beers from pale, to golden, to stout. But more importantly, most of the beers havevery high alcohol content. For those who like lighter brew, the Golden Ale and the summer seasonal,Raspberry Wheat Ale, are very good. Orchard Street also offers a lighter Stock Ale, but it took about foursips to get any semblance of flavor out of it. The medium beers Orchard Street offer are the ChristinaPorter and the Pale Ale. The Pale Ale was excellent. It had a good bite like most pales, but it also had acitrus aftertaste that made the beer outstanding. The Christina Porter, on the other hand, was not good at all. It had an almost burnt taste to it that turned me off from the first sip. The two dark beers served atOrchard Street were my favorites. The Double Stout was excellent, very thick, but without a bitteraftertaste. The Jingle Ale was the best by far. Spiced with nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and orange peel,this beer was awesome. It also has an alcohol content of 7.2 percent, so watch out kiddies, that's morethan a Schmitt's Ice, and it tastes good. All beers at Orchard Street are served in a "true pint," 20-ounce glass for $3.25. Orchard Street Brewery is a very good place to take a date, so take note ladies andgentleman. Their food is pretty expensive but the atmosphere and service make it worth the price.Front/Stuart Martin Two customers sit in front of the fire at Bellingham's Orchard Street Brewery.

Both were shutouts forWestern, and in both the Vikings scored only one goal. On Tuesday, Western hosted Hawaii PacificUniversity at the Blaine Pipeline complex. Then it was on the road to play Simon Fraser University.Against the Sea Warriors of-Hawaii Pacific, the Vikings played well from the beginning of the game. They had many shots on goal that either hit the cross bar or scooted just wide. , "I was pleased with how wecame out and kept plugging away," Coach Brad Swanson said. "We were a bit unfortunate; even afterwe scored that first goal, we could have had a couple more." From the beginning, Western utilizedmidfielders Sean Standley and Rob Skafgaard, as well as wings Mike Cusick and Brian Schaper. Thefour sent the ball up to forward Scot Swanson, who scored the lone goal. Though the Vikings did nothave a goal at halftime, they were not anxious. "We stayed calm and composed," forward Jay Harpersaid. "We used the width of the field and we definitely played around them." Along with the strength ofthe midfield against Hawaii Pacific, Coach Swanson pointed out the stabilizing play of defender KeithBaker. "Keith was very important sweeping for us," Swanson said. "He picked up those extra bodies that were coming through." Finally the defense paid off, and Western caught a break when the Sea Warriorswere unable to clear the ball out of their penalty area. Scot Swanson poked in the loose ball for the lonegoal. The control and composure Western exhibited in Tuesday's game was conspicuously absentWednesday. Early on against Simon Fraser, the Vikings looked bewildered. They were not able to clearthe ball, mark tightly and did not win anything in the air. "I think both teams were pretty tired today,"Skafgaard said. "We got one goal and Dave (Green) had another good game in the net." The start of thesecond half was a different story. The Clansmen took over as the Vikings' pummeling dummy. Elevenminutes into the second half, Western struck. Brian Schaper sent a pass across from his right-wingposition to Scot Swanson, who dummied the ball by stepping over it, pretending to take the pass, butinstead let the ball pass through his legs to Standley. Standley then put the ball in the back of the net. . "We had nothing to lose â€” we lost to . Fraser 4 to 3 and we were up 2 to 1 going in to the half and gotembarrassed in the second half," Standley said. "Then up here we got embarrassed, if you can call itthat, 6 to O.We had something to prove, so we proved it today." Western heads for Salem, Ore., formore playoff action Friday.

Dee Kantner of Charlotte, N.C., and Violet Palmer of Los Angeles intensively researched the men's league for three years before stepping onto the court amid controversy and criticism. Palmer refereed on theleague's opening night, Nov. 1, in Vancouver, British Colombia and Kantner followed on Wednesday inPhiladelphia. "(Kantner) called a regular basketball game," Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson said."All refs make bad calls. She made a couple, but overall, it was a good job." "I told her that, right off thebat, she's better than Ronnie Garretson," 76ers fan Ken Kind said of Kantner. Garretson is a veteranofficial who was working the same game. Kantner and Palmer spent this summer in Utah working gamesin the Jazz-sponsored Rock Mountain Revue, a pseudo-summer league for the NBA. Participatingcoaches and players gave them high marks. "(Palmer) stepped up early and established that shecould blow her whistle and she showed good poise," Detroit Pistons assistant coach Johnny Bach toldthe Sacramento Bee after watching Palmer work a pre-season, Detroit-Sacramento game. "A goodofficial remains unnoticed, and she did that," Bach said. League officials approached the two women aswell as three men for new positions as NBA referees. League vice-president Rod Thorn said the leagueapproached the women about four years ago, believing they had the makings of NBA.officialS;"(Kanther's) worked in a whole lot of meaningful games over her career," Thorn said. "She's been at thetop of her profession on the women's side for the last five or six years. I like her poise." "She's a verygood student and she's terrific with the rules," he said. "She's good with people and she's got goodinstincts. In essence, I think she's got everything you need to be an outstanding referee." Courtesy ofWNBA.com Referees Violet Palmer (I) and Dee Kantner Palmer and Kantner have built up impressivebiographies to back up their hiring by the world's premier basketball organization. Both have refereed many women's NCAA Final Four games; Kantner has been involved in the last six tournaments andhas been a referee since 1982. Both were hired to the WNBA staff: Palmer as a referee and Kantner asSupervisor of Officials. The WNBA has 13 women and 11 men refereeing games this year. Despite theresumes, the NBA has had to adjust. Houston's Charles Barkley has expressed feelings against womenrefereeing NBA games. Kantner has been tested several times and issued her first technical to Portland's Kenny Anderson after he cussed at her on the court. Kantner said that top NBA referee Darell Garretsontold her she should not expect to referee in the women's NBA league this summer. Apparently, therewere bigger plans in store for the 37-year-old sales engineer. "Is there anything anatomically thatprecludes me from refereeing an NBA game? Absolutely not," Kantner told a Charlotte, N.C., reporter. "Idon't want anyone looking at me physically (she's 5'8") and saying I can't handle it, so J ' m a maniac â€” I work out all the time. There are officials in the NBA, I assure you, who I'm faster than." . When askedhow he might react to certain calls made by a female referee, San Antonio Spurs forward Sean Elliotsaid, "I'd react the same way, say the same things. To react any other way would be like a lack ofrespect." "Then again," he continued, "you couldn't say some things that wouldn't be appropriate."Palmer was scheduled to referee men's NCAA games in the Big West conference, but, as Palmer puts it, "they pretty much copped out. I think it was just a matter of not wanting to deal with the pressure."San Antonio Express-News sports writer Kevin O'Keeffe has defended the addition of Kantner and Palmer to the NBA's officials list. 'To me, there is only one thing wrong with this announcement of Kantner andPalmer joining the NBA: It's that it is a story. It ought to be no big deal. It ought to be the way the NBAdoes its business, hiring competent people," O'Keeffe wrote. Kantner and Palmer are confident thattheir hiring is justified. "I don't think either one of us had to fight to get to this point," Palmer said. "Wewere chosen, we were selected on our ability. Right now, obviously, our ability has spoken for usbecause we couldn't have this opportunity that we have today." ATTENTION: Washington Stategovernment employee or retiree!

"We're taking down 15 people," said K.C. Bodily, theteam's captain. "Our goal is to do better than at Stony Burke, which was eighth place." Thiscompetition will give Western sailors an opportunity.to earn back some lost respect in the sailingcommunity. Dave Casey, the team's commodore, said, "Sailing World (magazine) just recently saidwe're handing the (regional dominance) back over to UW." A lot of other teams will be there, soWestern has a good opportunity to improve their status. Team member Katie Cox said, "(TheUniversity of California at) Berkeley, USC, Stanford, San Jose State, (University of California at) Irvineand the University of Hawaii will be there." One complaint among team members is that they haven'tbeen able to sail very often. "We haven't practiced very much," Casey said. Team member KatieMcKellar said, "Last year, there was so much more wind." Bodily said he feels the same way. "Itseems like it's been can-. Danielle Kean and K.C. Bodily celled more this year than in years past, butyou have to take what you get." Another issue the team is dealing with is a lack of newer boats. "Wesail in Collegiate Flying Juniors, which are 14-foot, two-person boats," Bodily said. The team could useanother boat. "We're looking for another. The reason we want another is that at competitions, it's threeboats on three boats. We have to charter another right now." Courtesy of Jeff Davis prepare for SantaBarbara. 'The two boats that we have right now are aging, so we're hoping to start rotating them out,"Bodily added. Bodily said he feels the team will continue to advance. 'This year the team's really young. We've got a lot of new people," he said. "A lot of them are here to learn, which is cool," Bodily said.Sailor Geoff Chammess said, "We're always looking for new members, experienced or not." ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 14 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Â« THE WESTERN FRONT NovgmbgrJ^jlgg^ World industrial bankers up to same old chicanery Sonow South Korea is teetering on the brink of economic crisis. Ho hum, we say here in Bellingham. Itmust be difficult for Koreans, but what can we do about it? How does it affect us? Perhaps it is not so"ho-hum" when we start to tally the Asian countries on the economic ropes: Starting with Thailand lastJuly, the currency speculation spread to Malaysia and Indonesia, among others, until it finally causedmighty Hong Kong to wobble. Now we can add South Korea to the list. Economists and politicians fearJapan is next and then possibly even China. It is not much of an economic leap across the Pacific to hitus. The domino theory has finally come true in Asia, but ironically it is not communism knockingcountries down â€” it is capitalism. International finance is not really so difficult to understand. It is muchlike a pyramid scheme. Large banks make loans, many of which are risky investments. Bank managersface great temptation to overextend their portfolios, because in the short term they can make a lot ofmoney, which pleases stockholders. The scheme lasts as long as everyone believes it will. Inevitably,someone gets cold feet and several banks become too exposed to cover their loans. Bigger banks thathave overextended to cover the smaller banks are suddenly vulnerable. In Asia, this scheme hasdominoed further to include the central banks of many of the region's richest nations. The industrializedcountries, via the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, are currently negotiating theeconomic bailouts that will allow Asia to survive. The central bank of the United States, the FederalReserve, is usually intricately involved in such bailouts. The bailouts come with a huge price â€” a cycleof debt is started that is next to impossible for developing nations to break. Nations have to borrow topay the interest on their debts, wages around the world go down and the only people making any moneyare the bankers who started this whole mess in the first place. Industrialized countries, especially ours,use this economic influence to maintain political dominance as well. The bankers, economists andpoliticians who run our country count on being able to hide behind the fact that most of us citizens findeconomics boring and arcane. We can change this. A good opportunity will be this Wednesday in ParksHall, when two renowned economists debate our policy options to resolve Asia's economic crisis. Weshould ask how we can hold bankers accountable when they play with people's lives. â€”Scott Morris,Opinions editor The Western Front Editor: Gene Metrick; Managing Editor: Katherine Schiffner; NewsEditors: Meredith Lofberg and Kristen T.

Herald fosters newconsumers Bellingham K-5 students draw advertisements in annual contest Todd WankeCOMMENTARY Two weeks ago, in the Oct. 30 issue, the Bellingham Herald ran a "Design an AdContest" for elementary students. ". â€ž The contest was open to kids in kindergarten through fifthgrade, in both public and private schools, and the object was to design an advertisement for a localbusiness. So the kids went to work on the ad designs and the businesses selected the artwork that theywanted to represent their businesses. At first glance, the pages filled with the kids' artwork seemedcute and of course funny considering the age group participating. The scenes depict people shopping atsuch places as the Food Co-op, Bellis Fair Mall and The Fair grocery store. Then my eyes shifted to the pages that featured ads for Intalco Aluminum Corporation and Georgia Pacific. The Georgia Pacific adincludes the phrase, "Building America a Little Bit Better Everyday." Suddenly it occurred to me thereason a fifth grader was designing this ad â€” because kids don't know any better. I suppose this is thepoint where I should throw in a disclaimer and say I'm not trying to pick on elementary school kids;I'm only using them to illustrate a point about what our community has its mind on: money. What ifsome day that same fifth grader who designed an ad for Georgia Pacific uncovers a story about anenvironmental catastrophe caused by Georgia Pacific, "Building America into the Gutter." Wouldn't thatbe ironic? Although some of the ads are for the good of the community, such as St. Joseph Hospital andThe Promise of Christmas, what about Jerry Chambers and Dewey Griffin, two prominent automobiledealerships in Bellingham? Yeah, come on down and design an ad, kiddies. While you're at it, we'llsee what we can do about getting Mommy and Daddy that second mortgage on their house so you canride out of here in style. Will the real issues that are going to affect these pose tmtdeas of land useaWMF^ro^iMMta^sm are *Â°Â° deS^fcott^^k to teach the kids at this yoiiij^^an lt;|Â§|Â§fÂ§0 as asubstitute i^^mould^^m them be public mlawims mins0Ms. kids' lives be taught to them before graduationor will the ideology of capitalism steamroll them all the way through school? These kids need to realizethat although it is nice to have possessions, we can't keep spending, buying and building our waythrough life. I suppose the ideas of land use and environmen-talism are too deepof concepts to teach kids at this young of an age, so as a substitute we should let them be public relations minstrels forbusinesses they know very little about. I guess that's safer than having to tell kids the truth about theodds of them actually owning a business like the ones they're drawing for. Good luck trying to find aplace to build it. . Alan Gallay, whose daughter took part in the contest said, "She was thrilled with theactivity; I think all the kids were. I thought that the artwork by the kids was very thoughtful." I couldn'tagree more with Gallay, that's why it sickens me to have to comment on the kids' activity like thisbecause the project is actually fun, I'm sure. I just don't think the kids realize what they're doing. So why don't the teachers speak up about the kids being miniature business representatives for thesecorporations? I don't like the idea of the kids promoting frivolous spending when they themselvesaren't the ones doing the spending; their parents are. What strikes me as really funny about the whole ad design competition is that this is the 18th annual competition. I find it hard to believe that Bellingham'selementary schools have been steering their kids toward public relations for this long. I realize this isan art project for the kids, so it's basically fun for them no matter what, but what about the kids who don't make it into the Herald because their artwork isn't good enough? These kids are left feeling like theydidn't do their best, and for what? An ad announcing loan rates for the Industrial Credit Union. I don'tthink this is the best activity to instill spirit in the elementary kids. My only hope is that the kids areable to devote as much fun time in their classroom to events that may actually affect their lives, such asEarth Day. ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 14 - Page 11 ---------- November 14. 1997 wmwiwiiiiw^ THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Secret global economic constitution in works ArvidHokanson COMMENTARY Our economy rules the world. P r e s i d e n t C l i n t o n fought for f as t - t r a ck trade status like Tyson ripped Hol-yfield's ear â€” with passion and vigor. Luckily, ourCongress wasn't hot on the idea and the issue never went for a vote. The important aspect tounderstand is that, if approved, Clinton would have obtained the ability to negotiate trade deals thatCongress could not have modified, only approved or disapproved. The United States, however, is already a member of the Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the World Trade Organization, as well as theNorth American Free Trade Agreement. We should fine-tune our current agreements before negotiatingmore. NAFTA especially has been barraged by criticism, ranging from the ultra-liberal Ralph Nader tothe very-conservative Pat Buchanan. Critics have argued that NAFTA has shifted jobs out of the UnitedStates and into developing countries. Now another trade agreement, the Multilateral Agreement onInvestment, is being negotiated in secrecy from the world public. A recent interview conducted .byFairness and Accuracy in Reporting with a New York-based economics professor reported thathundreds of professors at a recent economics convention had no knowledge of the MAI agreement.Yet a. British negotiator for MAI said, "We are writing the constitution of a single global economy^" Why should we be critical of another trade agreement? Because America is the most powerful,corporate," economic force. The fall 1997 issue of Alternatives Journal states, "Wealthy nations,including Canada and the U.S. ... are championing rules to ensure unresricted foreign direct investmentas the key to maintaining high rates of economic growth and 'development.'" Trade is good, but notwhen corporations are writing the agreements. Corporations love these agreements.

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1919 No. 13. RETURNS 10 NORMAL On Monday morning I noticed a group of girls busily chatting and shaking hands. Upon closer observation it was discovered that William Edson, a popular last year's graduate, was the center of the group. The bell for class finally rang, so I seized the opportunity for an interview. I asked Mr. Edson how he enjoyed life at the S. A. T. C. " Just fine, but I've been discharged," was his reply. Mr. Edson stated that he had put in his application for entrance at the officers' training camp at Camp Fremont. The armistice was declared r.bout this time so his hopes were defeated. " Were you anxious to go to Prance?" was my next question. A broad smile lit up his face. " I certainly did want to go." When asked about his work at the training camp, he replied that he enjoyed it greatly. He had eleven hours of drill work and forty-two hours of academic work per week. The conversation drifted from the work a day Avorld to entertainments. " The Y. M. C. A. did so much to entertain us. I can't say too much for it." Just then he laughed heartily as a happy thought came to his mind. " I received two pairs of warm socks to keep me from having cold feet, and a fine warm sweater to keep my heart warm." It was my turn to laugh now, and I did. " The people Avere all so courteous pnd kind. One Sunday as one of the ether boys and I Avere leaving church, a lady stepped up to us and asked, 'Are you boys invited out anyAvhere today?' Upon receiving a reply in the negative, she invited us to her house to dinner. We certainly enjoyed ourselves there." My questions finally aroused Mr. Edson's suspicions. I occasionally jotted down a few notes, and he al most refused to ansAver any more. But after telling him it Avas his duty, £;S the former editor of the Messenger, to help make that paper a success, he reluctantly consented to answer all questions. " What are your plans for the fu-tuxe?" asked I. "Next week I shall enter Normal again to take up a preparatory course. Just what my plans after that are, I hardly dare to tell just noAV." It was noAV tine for class. I am sure the students all join me in extending William Edson a hearty welcome back to Normal. TILLIE GISH. Mr. Mathes did some Avork around Normal during the holidays. LEST WE FORGET When the call to arms Avas heard in this country, about twenty months ago, enthusiasm Avas at a high pitch. American boys by the thousand Avere going forth to serve us as soldiers, sailors and marines. We selected tLem to represent the nation and the Avorld in a great crisis, taking them fvom positions that paid comfortable salaries and paying them Avar wages c.f a dollar a day. We promised to stand behind these boys who Avent forth bravely to serve in the Avorld Avar and declared that their positions Avould be aAvaiting them on their return. NOAV the Avar is over, peace negotiations are beginning, the army is demobilizing, and the soldiers are returning. But Avhat of the jobs? Are the boys being returned to their old positions as promised, or are they finding themselves in idleness and put to the trouble of seeking new positions with attendant disappointment and failure? These questions are not hypothetical, but are brought to the surface by daily conferences Avith the boys in blue and khaki Avho are coming back in ever increasing numbers. If Ave are self-respecting and honest, it is incumbent upon us to make good on our pledges. In office, and mill, and business house, and school, changes have been made necessary in order to release the men required for military service. Plans for readjustment should be immediately set in motion so that returning soldiers who desire their old places may step back into them without delay. This reconstruction at home will require sacrifice, but it Avill be worth all that it costs. As our boys come streaming home, Ave must not only give them the glad hand and the hurrah, but Ave must also provide them Avith the situation and the opportunity to advance. Employer and employee should both be generous in a time like this. Each should Avelcome the returning soldier and aid him in the fullest way to become readjusted in civilian life. American boys have done their part in saving the Avorld from the devastating Hun. No sacrifice that we can make Avill fully equal their sacrifice. We have said that their old positions would be aAvaiting them, and it is now imperative that Ave prove up on our pledge. G. W. NASH, Chairman Community Labor Board for the Bellingham District. BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE READ BY EVERYONE Below is the analytical list of books on the Avar as made out by Miss Wilson. The Messenger feels this is an invaluable list for all students, and feels deeply grateful to Miss Wilson for the enthusiasm and time she has spent in working up this list.

F THE EXCHANGE APPEAR One of the greatest difficulties that confront teachers today, and especially in the primary grades, is the mat-tor of the correct use of the English language. Miss Catherine Montgomery has assisted in the redirection of this Avork, and presents in the November number of the Exchange many valuable suggestions on oral language for the primary grades. Miss Montgomery says that in oral language there are three problems: (1st) The verb common errors. (2nd) Enlarging the vocabulary. (3rd) Reconstructing the child's oral narrative. In order to obtain the best results in treating these problems the child must be given plenty of time to learn them; it is better to practice a habit formation rather than to memorize the correct use of AArords. Only by continual drill Avill a child learn the correct use of a language. HOAV many people haATe a real conception of what nature study is? Miss Ida Agnes Baker gives some broad and inspiring ideas on this subject in the December number of the Exchange. Miss Baker says: Nature study deals Avith life, the living plant, the living bird, or animal, insect, the living tree; its origin, its home, Avhat it likes, Avhat it dislikes, the expression of the life that is in it in growth, action, instinct and mentality. If the above constitute one's outline on nature study, hoAV is the best way to teach it? Here is Miss Baker's method: First learn to read the " Green Book of the Bards " in the original. Then nature study makes one become a close observer, for different plants oid trees are chosen for observation and the data of observation are recorded. By being given nature study problems one watches the things that surround him. There are many devices for aAvakening and training observations, but in order to get the best results we must do our own work in nature study. - Miss Baker says: With Thoreau we must expect and find in our own locality as Avonderful happenings as we read about in other parts of the Avorld. When we do this we may say as Dallas Lore Sharp says of the Avoods, " Once aAvaken in the heart of a child a love of the woods and something has passed into him that the evil days when they come, shall have to reckon Avith." If you hit the mark you must aim a little above it; every arroAV that flies feels the attraction of the earth. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 January 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1919 BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE READ BY EVERYONE (Continued from page 1.)

" n ii" THE FLU The Messenger is sadly handicapped this week. Our popular business manager, Frank Owens, has the "flu." Mr. Mathes has undertaken his work for this week, thus earning the undying gratitude of the Messenger staff. We hope Mr. Owens has a light case and will be back to solicit "ads" fvom our ever-generous merchants ?.£rain next week. H.E The advanced class in home economics, assisted by the beginning class, served a luncheon to Dr. and Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Nash's mother and sister, Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Stephens. The table was very tastefully arranged with red and green holiday decorations, and Miss Billington and Miss Vandermast served as hostesses. The menu was as follows: Cream of Tomato Soup Potatoes on the Half Shell Harvard Beets Parker House Rolls Raspberry Ice Sponge Cake Coffee Miss Clarke and Miss Longley are deserving of much praise for their successful management of the home economics department this year. CHRISTMASJOLL CALL The Red Cross Christmas roll call was. responded to by two hundred sixty-eight students and faculty members. Five magazine subscriptions were made. The Students' Association turned over $60 to the fund so the committee was glad to report to Mr. Healy, who had the campaign in charge for the city and county, that the Normal had three hundred twenty- eight paid memberships. rf THE BEST PLACE TO BUY DRUGS WATCH FOR THE OWL URDAY SPECIALS SAT-Visit Teeples Studio 1250 Elk Street We do everything in the Photographic line, and do it right.

The death of Minnie Burroughs also occurred during the week. Miss Burroughs was obliged to cease teaching last year at White Salmon on account of ill health. She was a graduate of this institution and was taking a post-graduate course when her death came as a sudden shock to all of her friends. Miss June Harris Cook '18 died of the influenza at 1 o'clock last Wednesday morning. She was well known and much liked here at Normal, and was very prominent in the Ohiyesa Literary Society. The Bellingham Women's Music Club announce that the distinguished Trio, de Lutece, consisting of George Barrere, Carlos Salzedo and Paul Kefer, flutist, harpist and 'cellist, together with Lucy Gates, the famous soprano, will be in Bellingham Monday evening, January 6. American composers will be given considerable attention, and there will be many distinctly new and interesting offerings. Normal students may obtain tickets for 50 cents and upwards of Mrs. Thatcher, head of the musical department of the school. This is an opportunity too good to be missed. STHE LOSS OF MEMBERS The Normal finds itself at the beginning of the new year called upon to mourn the death of two of its students and one of its graduates. Miss Beryl Dremolski died on Christmas day after a short illness of the influenza.

A GAS MASK IS SHOWN AT NORMAL The training school pupils and many of the Normal students and faculty members had the rare privilege and opportunity of seeing a real gas mask which was worn at the battles of Chateau Thierry and the Marne by Capt. Robert M. Lee, brother of our Mary Lee. Everyone, especially the training school pupils, were very interested in talks and the demonstrations of its use. SO SMILE There are so many ways in which you may Be helping someone to win, Only a smile, a word of cheer May lighten the path for him. So little it costs, a word, a smile, Yet this might be just the time When he is slipping down hill — The world's using him ill, And you can set him in line. Perhaps you were so very busy that time When he looked so lone and sad, l o u had no time to give him then — You needed what time you had.

HOW WE ARE STARTING THE NEW YEAR It is here again — that grand, clean new page to start out with good resolutions! May we keep them all! If the old saying, "As ye begin it, so will it continue," holds true, this year will he one of good hard work mixed with much fun and good cheer for most of us. The first day was a busy one with our school in session and work coming on just as usual, but oh, the night before! Such theater parties, such watch parties, such lovely quiet home "waitings"! And then as the big down-town whistles began, such running out of doors and ringing of bells, such blowing of horns and shouts of " Happy New Year" across the lawns! May it continue as happy and full of pleasant occupations through all its three hundred sixty-five days! Indolence never sent a man to the front. The deep things of this world are not engineered by sluggards. — James T. Fields. The sailor builds his finest ship of heaviest steel, and the airman soars by means of things that fall. Depend upon it, heart of mine, the heaviness that seems to crush thee was meant for thee to soar by! Be an air-man every time!—John Brierly. Once again we are face to face with a shining New Year! The world has longed for peace and seen the light ahead. But stray gleams have reached us, bright with promise, but now it is here in glorious reality! Prom this time on it is " up to us," as the phrase goes, for we are to be a part of this glad New Year! In peace, as in war, the individual counts. We must do " our b i t " or we are slackers.

H. Kibbe. Bobby sat in the hammock under the apple tree waiting for his Uncle Robert. As he waited he thought of all the things he had seen that day. It had been a wonderful day for Bobby. He had been to the circus. He had seen great elephants, lions, camels, giraffes and ever so many other animals, and, best of all, there had been such a funny clown! That clown could jump and turn six somersaults in the air ibefore he alighted upon Ms feet! But Bobby was not thinking of the clown's surprising tricks, but of something that he had said, and it puzzled him. The clown had said that the moon is made of green cheese. Bobby had decided that he would ask his Uncle Robert, when he heard a queer little voice say: " Why don't you go up and ask the man in the moon? " Bobby was so surprised that he almost let go the little balloon he was holding. He looked all about and there in the marigold bed was the srtangest little elf-clown! He was dressed in green from head to foot,, just like the big clown at the circus. His face was a bright yellow and how it shone when he smiled at Bobby! As Bobby sat staring at him what do you suppose that little elf clown did? You never could guess. He jumped and turned TEN somersaults in the air and landed on the foot of the hammock! " Why don't you go up and ask the man in the moon?" he repeated. At first Bobby did not know how i.o answer this strange little fellow. He looked up and saw the moon just above the hill-top. " Oh, I should like to go, but how can I? I cannot fly and, besides, no one has ever gone there except the Man-in-the-Moon and he never came to show us the way." " Don't let that trouble you," said the elf-clown. " Do as I say and you will see him tonight." He then told Bobby to empty all his pockets and soon all of Bobby's treasures were in the hammock. There were three marbles, a paper bag he was saving to " p o p " when his sister came home, a rubber band, a stick of chewing gum, a cartridge shell, and some arrow heads. The elf-clown looked at the assortment and said: "A fine collection. Everything we need and more." He then took the paper bag and made of it a little basket using string tor the handles. Then breaking off the long stem Bobby tied the balloon to the basket. It was the cutest little balloon! " Now fill your cartridge shell with water and put it into the basket," said the elf-clown. Bobby did so, but wondered what It had to do with the trip. Was he to drink the water? The elf-clown noticed that Bobby was puzzled and asked him what caused the tides. Then Bobby understood! The moon would pull the water toward itself! " Everything in ship-shape," cried the elf-clown. "All aboard for a trip to the moon." " But it isn't big enough," said Bobby. " I can't go after all," and he looked as if he were almost pouting. The elf-clown was almost cross at Bobby and said: " Did you expect the balloon to grow? Lie down and roll to the marigold bed and back again." Bobby did so and, what do you think? Each time he rolled over he became smaller and smaller, and by the time he got back to the apple tree he was the cutest little boy, about two and one-half inches in height! The elf-clown lifted him into the basket and placed him beside the car- Liidge shell, then, picking up balloon, basket, Bobby and all, he climbed up the tree out to the end of the longest branch and giving them a toss shouted: """Have a good time, but be sure to come back in time to meet Uncle Robert." At first Bobby did not go up very fast, but. the higher he went the faster he traveled, and it made him feel so queer. Just as if he were going up in an elevator! Up and up and up he went, faster and faster. Bobby closed his eyes and held his breath. Soon he did not seem to be going up at all. He felt as if he were going down in an elevator and, peeping over the edge of the basket, he discovered that he was going down to — not the earth, but — the moon! He knew it was the moon for it looked like the picture in the " Book of Knowledge," only that it was larger. Down and down he went, faster and faster, till all at once the balloon struck the moon and Bobby bounced out as if he were a tennis ball. He was not hurt at all! He looked all about for the man in the moon, but could see nothing of him. Away in the distance he saw what he thought must be acres and acres of yellow flowers. . As he gazed he saw that it was not a great field of flowers but something coming toward him. It came closer and closer and soon Bobby could see that it was a great multitude of moonbeam fairies. He heard one of them shout: "There he is! I see him! " The next thing Bobby knew he was surrounded by the fairies and one fairy who seemed to be the leader, took Bobby upon his shoulder and away they went skimming over the surface of the moon at a rapid rate. Well, the moonbeam fairies carried ALL READY-TO WEAR GARMENTS AT 20 lt;, to 50 REDUCTION Buy your Winter Suit or Coat Now KEMPHAUS C CO.

Holly St. Bobby so swiftly that they soon came to the other side of the moon and, you would not believe it, but Bobby saw what wise men who have studied tfio moon have never discovered, for they have neer seen the other side of the moon. The ground was covered with grass of the most beautiful shade of pink you ever saw. There were birds and flowers of every color. Some were colors that Bobby had never seen before, for they were moon colors. Such beautiful trees and wild animals that were not wild at all. I wish that I had time to tell you of all the wonderful things that Bobby saw. Soon they came to a beautiful palace where the Man-in-the-Moon lives and there on the bottom step sat Mr. Man-in-the-Moon himself. He was an old man like your grandfather. He had long white whisktrs and was bald-headed! He didn't notice Bobby at ail. Now what do you think those moon-bear fairies did? They carried Bobby to the top of the steps and rolled him bumpty-bump to the bottom! And at every bump he grew bigger and bigger and by the time he reached the bottom step he was his natural size. " Here is Bobby who has come to visit you," shouted the fairies. The Man-in-the-Moon was so glod to see him! He had been away from the earth so long that he just stared at Bobby for a while. Then he took Bobby's hand and shook and shook it and no one knows how long he would have stood shaking it if a lively little moonbeam fairy had not climbed upon his shoulder and said: " The refreshments will be ready in just a little while. Shall we show Bobby the palace?" " Certainly! certainly! " said the Man-in-the-Moon. " Nothing is too good to show to Bobby. Don't keep him very long, for I want to visit with him." I wish I could tell you all the wonderful things about that palace. When you see Bobby ask him about it and. he will be glad to tell you. When Bobby came back the Man-in- 4 he-Moon was sitting at the most beautiful table under a tree on the pink lawn. He motioned to Bobby to sit at the other side of the table. Then they had such delicious things to eat! Bobby said that no one would ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 January 4 - Page 6 ---------- 6 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1919 believe him if he would tell how many dishes of ice cream he• ate. And such delicious cake and candy that would melt in your mouth! Bobby ate till he could eat no more. Then (#ie Man-in-the-Moon took him about and showed him the beautiful animals. One big animal that looked like a lion excepting that it was BLUE, came and rubjjed against the knees of the Man-in-the-Moon. Bobby was a little frightened at first, but he was such a gentle old fellow that he and Bobby were soon friends. He did not have cruel sharp claws and teeth. None of the animals in the moon have. One thing puzzled Bobby very much. The Man-in-the-Moon carried a bundle of sticks with him everywhere he went. Bobby wanted to ask the reason why but his mother had taught him that it is not polite to ask personal questions so he thought: " I'll look it up in the ' Book of Knowledge' when I get home, or ask Uncle Robert." Bobby was having such a good time when the fairies came and said: " Time to go home, Bobby. Uncle Robert will soon be there." The man in the moon would have liked to have Bobby stay with him, but the fairies said that that would never do. Bobby must go home now. " Come to see me again," said the man in the moon. Then from one of his pockets he took a beautiful moonstone and gave it to Bobby. Then one of the moonbeam fairies gave Bobby a white apple to eat. At every bite Bobby became smaller and smaller, and by the time he had eaten it all he was again about two and one-half inches tall. Away went the moonbeam fairies, carrying Bd,bby back as they had come a short time before. When they reached the place where Bobby, had landed they put him into his paper basket and told him to put his moonstone into the cartridge shell. Bobby did so and what do you think? There was a most wonderful moonbeam ladder that Bobby could imagine. He could not see the end of it. Two of the fairies placed the basket, upon their shoulders and climbed up the ladder. They went up and up till at last they came to the end of the ladder. Then they gave the basket a push down and down and down Mrs. A. A.

Only 25 Cents went Bobby so fast that he was afraid- that he would lose his breath' when, all at once, he went through a cloud! Then he knew that he would soon be home, and peeping over the edge of the basket there below him he could: see the roofs of houses. Then he felt himself getting., bigger, and '.bigger and then, with a jolt, he sat upon the hammock. He looked about and there was the basket torn almost in two; nearby was what remained of the balloon, and there lay the cartridge shell. He thought of his moonstone and picked up the cartridge shell but it was empty! Thinking it might have fallen out. he looked about and down, among the pebbles was the moonstone. Just then he heard the click of the gate and coming up the walk was his Uncle Robert. Bobby was so glad to see his Uncle that for a short while he almost forgot about his wonderful ekperience. When Bobby told his story Uncle Robert, smiled, but when Bobby showed him the moonstone he said in surprise: "Where did you get thim, Bobby? This is a valuable moonstone! It will make a beautiful set for a necktie pin! " Then Bobby told him the story from beginning to end and showed him the broken balloon. Uncle Robert was .so surprised he could only say: "Well! well! well!" Bobby is very proud of his moonstone pin which he wears every Sunday. But there is one thing that bothers him. He forgot to ask the Man-in-the-Moon if the moon is made of green cheese! "DO NOT OPEN TILL XMAS" (The following poem, written by an ex-Normal student, though crowded out of the Christmas issue, is published this week on. account of its literary worth.) Of all the exasperating things That come at this glad season, The most outlandish of them all ' Is seen, without a reason, In, "Do not open till Xmas:" " You " Do your shopping early" stunt So Uncle Sam's relieved Bdt gets the package there on time, But each one looks aggrieved, Marked, "Do not open till Xmas!" If they all came on Xmas eve It would be such a lark, You only have to wait one night Before tearing off that mark, "Do not open till Xmas!" The first one comes about the tenth, The next one ten days later, Then comes one from your " best girl," You almost think you hate 'er! " Do not open till Xmas! " Or one from your own mother dear, You're just dying to untie it, But you really wouldn't, for all the world, But you want to —don't deny it. " Do not open till Xmas! " I really think that Xmas joy Is earned by everyone Who keeps his packages till Xmas day Without a string undone Marked "Do not open till Xmas." — Cassie C. Cales.

Yeon and four other representatives from Cheongju visited the memorial as part of their two-day trip to Bellingham. Both cities are seeking closer business and cultural connections as they work toward becoming sister cities, said Betsy Bierer, executive assistant to Interim Mayor Tim Douglas. Yeon also laid a wreath at the memorial honoring the 400 men from Whatcom County who fought in the Korean War. "I appreciate the fact that you are willing to come to Big Rock Garden Park to see this small bit of Korea that we have here in Bellingham," Drake said while addressing the audience. Drake, who created both memorials, is now "closing his office on Cornwall Avenue, which he used for the past three years to create an photo by Tom Callis THE WESTERN FRONT Memorial designer George Drake, wearing a traditional necklace from an Amazonian tribe of which he is an honorary member, speaks to Vice Mayor Yeon (to the right of Drake) in front of the Korean War Veteran's Memorial in Big Rock Garden Park Oct. 3. archive of information on the efforts of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen who provided aid to Korean children during the war. He is ending his work after compiling more than 1,800 stories and more than 2,000 photographs. While serving in the Korean War with the 326th Communications Reconnaissance Company, Drake along with the rest of the company, opened up the Manassas Manor orphanage and provided shelter, food and clothing for 35 children. Drake said he didn't want the compassion of U.S. servicemen and seryicewqmen to become a forgotten part of a forgotten war. see MEMORIAL page 3 â€¢ Four protesters arrested inside congressman's Bellingham office Alana C.K. Dittrich THE WESTERN FRONT A group of citizens gathered in Rep. Rick Larsen's (D-Wash.) Bellingham office on Sept. 28 and 29, and again on Oct. 2, requesting answers to questions about U.S. involvement in Iraq. One or more of the protesters were arrested when they refused to leave after Larsen's office closed at 5 p.m. on each of these days. The most recent arrests were of Dotty Dale, 81, and her husband, Al Dale, 80, a retired minister. The couple was arrested Oct. 2 at 5:20 p.m. after they refused to leave Larsen's office. Margie White, 76, a retired nurse, was the first to be arrested. She was escorted from the office to a waiting police car, amidst applause from other protesters. White said the arrest was her way of protesting the killing of Iraqi civilians. "Getting arrested is my form of standing up," White said. "And that's what we feel strongly needs to be done, if we're going to stop killing Iraqi civilians." White said she is very disturbed by the killing of civilians. "We've killed at. least 2 million Iraqis now, and that's not acceptable," she said. White said she is counting civilian mortalities since U.S. sanctions first went into effect in Iraq in 1990. White and a dozen other peace advocates gathered in^ Larsen's office Sept. 28 to ask Larsen questions about his voting record with regard to funding the war, and when U.S. involvement in Iraq would end. Larsen's community representative, Luke Loeffler, listened to the protesters and said he would communicate their questions and concerns to Larsen, whom he said was in Washington, D.C. see PROTEST page * â€¢ photo courtesy or ueorge Clark Brad Grower (front) was arrested Sept. 29 for protesting in Rep.

Insuring against the unexpected Kennedy White THE WESTERN FRONT - Phone, car insurance, electricity - these are some of the bills many Western students pay monthly. Though payments can add up quickly for students on tight budgets, those who pay renter's insurance have the security of knowing that if they damage their apartment or their computer is stolen, they'll be covered. . Renter's insurance is a great deal, said Carl Angell, spokesman for the Washington Insurance Information Bureau. "(People) always think of renters insurance as theft insurance, but there's much more to it," Angell said. Most renter's insurance plans cover basic problems that can arise for renters, including protection against fire and water damage, theft and accidents such as knocking a laptop off a table. Angell said under a liability plan, which can be included in many kinds of insurance coverage, the insured see INSURANCE page 3 â€¢ w e s t e r n f r o n t o n l i n e . c om ---------- Western Front 2006-10-06 - Page 2 ---------- The Western Front WesternFrontOnline.com FRIDAY â€ž_.

Steve Nordeen, groundskeeper for Bellingham Parks and Recreation said the project, which began Sept. 25, will last through Oct. 31. This will be the only change made to the park. The turf rebuild aims to transform the old grass into new, thicker grass for the public to enjoy, said Nordeen. The playing field is the only part of the park that is closed; the rest of the park is open during the rebuild.

The waste comes from thousands of sources such as leaking sewer systems, pet waste and lawn and garden care, according to the Whatcom Creek Fecal Coliform Report. Richard Grout of the state Department of Ecology urges citizens to clean up pet waste and maintain and repair sewer systems as part of local initiatives to prevent fecal coliform pollution.

Protection of personal belongings can be relatively inexpensive, too, Angell said. The average renter pays around $150 a year for renter's insurance, which is only $12.50 per month for insurance that can cover thousands of dollars worth of property and liability. For Western sophomore Latasha Nix, renter's insurance is more about peace of mind than financial protection. "It's kind of a sense of security," Nix said. "I know if I don't get it, something will happen." Last month, Nix received a quote of $104 per year for insurance from Spangler Insurance, LLC in Seattle. That works out to $8.66 per month. Off-campus, many students live in areas that are much less secure than dorm rooms. Susan Adams, coalition student activities coordinator for the Campus Community Coalition, said she feels renter's insurance is worth the investment. "I know if I don't get it [renter's insurance], something will happen/' said Western sophomore Latasha Nix. "Bellingham is safe, but yes, Bellingham has crime," Adams said. "It's a protection against random crime." For those who don't have renter's insurance, Adams recommends taking extra care to prevent criminal activity. She said some of the easiest steps students can take are locking doors, leaving lights on at night, and helping police respond quickly to emergency calls by ensuring house and apartment numbers are visible from the street. Just because someone lives on-campus doesn't mean renter's insurance isn't worth the investment, however. According to Western Washington University Risk Manger Paul Mueller, an ounce of prevention in combination with an insurance plan is key to maintaining a safe campus photo by Melissa Blair THE WESTERN FRONT environment. "I think the most important thing to do is to use locks if you have them," Mueller said. A great alternative to having no protection on-campus is the Student Personal Property Insurance Program, Mueller said. This plan for University Housing residents, students can be covered for losses up to $2,500 for an annual fee of $37 and up to $5,000 for an annual fee of $50. Though the plan protects personal property on campus such as computers and bicycles, the plan does not cover off-campus losses like renter's insurance plans. According to University Police Chief Jim Shaw, the best thing students can do is be careful about their own property and space. Former professor hosts dignitary â€¢ MEMORIAL froml "I can clearly state with justification that we servicemen saved the lives of over 10,000 children," Drake said. Along with the creation of the memorials, Drake also created a Web site (koreanchildren.org), a book titled "GI's and the Kids - A Love Story," and a photo exhibit by the same name. Thousands of U.S. servicemen and servicewoman gave more than $2 million to provide aid for the children of Korea during the Korean War, Drake said. Bellingham local Cal Leenstra spoke at the memorial. "We need to recognize Drake for all of his extraordinary work," Leenstra said. His brother, Sgt. Henry Leenstra, died in the Korean War in October 1951 a few days before he was due to come home. Joe Kwon, a friend of Drake's also attended the event. "It's ironic that this is the only memorial that recognizes the human aspects of the Korean War while there are so many that focus on its destruction," said Bellingham local Joe Kwon. Kwon was 1 year old when the war broke out in 1950. He moved to the U.S. from South Korea 37 years ago. While three copies of Drake's photo exhibit will be touring the U.S. and South Korea, he made his final public appearance at the weeklong showcase in Guanju, South Korea on Aug. 14. Thirty-five South Koreans who fought in the Korean War presented Drake with two medals for his work during and after the war. While he welcomed the attention, Drake felt the goodwill should not be focused on one person. "When a messenger comes bearing bad news it is not nice to shoot- the messenger and when a messenger comes bearing good news.it is inappropriate to make the messenger a hero. The messenger is bringing the story," Drake said during his speech at the exhibit. "The heroes are the thousands of servicemen and women who did as much and more than I did. I refuse to be a hero; it's not my role. I'm a sociologist. I'm a storyteller."

Larsen to sign Declaration of Peace â€¢ PROTEST from 1 Loeffler declined to comment on the protest and directed inquiries to Larsen's director of communications, Kimberly Johnston. Johnston, 28, studied business and psychology at Western and. graduated in 2001. Johnston said that while Larsen appreciates the protesters' passion and right to protest, he does not share their vision of what should happen with regard to the war in Iraq. The protesters had initially asked that Rep. Larsen sign The Declaration of Peace, a Congressional Pledge for an End to the U.S. War and Occupation in Iraq. The Declaration of Peace is a comprehensive plan for ending the war immediately. More than 100 national religious and peace organizations support the Declaration of Peace. Johnston said Larsen was not willing to sign the Declaration of Peace because he does not believe in an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Ellen Murphy, 69, a retired counselor, said they subsequently asked Larsen to sign the Declaration of Peace with the proposed withdrawal date struck from the document. He declined to sign the altered declaration. When asked if Larsen had an opinion about the protesters' willingness to be arrested in Larsen's office, Johnston said that the arrests were the responsibility of the building management. "The office is open during normal business hours," Johnston said. "When things do come to a close at the end of the day, it's our obligation to contact the building management. They have the choice if they are going to contact the police or not." While one group of protesters was in Larsen's office, others rallied on the sidewalk in front of the Federal Building with a large white banner emblazoned with bold red letters reading "Free Rick Larsen." Some protesters carried signs with slogans such as, "Health care, not warfare," and "War harms everyone!" Among the group of protesters gathered in front of the Federal Building was Dominique Coulet du Gard, 56, a professor of anthropology photo courtesy of George Clark "Getting arrested is my form of standing up/7 Marge White, 76, said. White was the first to be arrested for demonstrating inside Rep. Rick Larsen's downtown Bellingham office last week. at Western. Coulet du Gard said she supported.the protest because she was concerned about her son Aubrey, 25, who joined the U.S. Army in February 2005. He was deployed to Iraq in December 2005 and is there still. Coulet du Gard said she would like to see her son and all of the U. S. troops come home. "I really just want him home. I want all of them home," she said. "I think that it is an illegal war. It's an unjust war and there is no justification for Brad Grower, 41, was arrested Sept. 29, at 5:35 p.m., after he refused to leave Larsen's office after it had closed. As police led Grower out of the building, a group of 16 people carrying colorful antiwar signs chanted loudly, "Tell me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!" to the cadence of drums. Grower said his arrest was a sacrifice he didn't mind making for the cause of justice. "It does not bother me to be arrested for something that may bring about justice, because that's the foundation of freedom," he said. "If we do not have people who are willing to stand up and say, 'I will sacrifice for the things that I believe in,' then we will never be able to truly be free."

Located on Cornwall Avenue and surrounded by furniture outlets and banks, Fantasia is a quiet, dimly-lit coffee shop during the day, but it comes alive at night. Fantasia hosts a multitude of shows allowing local artists to stand in the spotlight, if only for one night. Poetry Night is a Monday evening staple and one of Bellingham's many poetry nights. Bringing out a vast array of Bellingham's poets, musicians and spectators for a weekly evening of spoken word, music and fun, Fantasia offers an event that is hard to describe with words. "You really have to experience it," said Megan Conner, a barista at Fantasia and a Western senior. "When I first came, I thought it would be like, you know, your finger snapping, beat poet typical stuff." At first, Conner said she had visions of serious poets spitting out pretentious poetry, but she couldn't have been more wrong. "The key is not to feel intimidated," Conner said. "They have a lot of 'your mom' jokes, if that gives you any idea." Sarah Lloyd, a sophomore at Western, went to her first Poetry Night approximately six months ago. She has only attended three or four since, but said she thoroughly enjoys them. â€¢ The atmosphere at Fantasia is extremely supportive, regardless of the skill level of the poets, Lloyd said. As with most poetry nights, the key words are "open mic," and a hefty assortment of citizens ranging from 16 to 80 years old show up to take advantage of the opportunity, Connor said. . "Rich, not so rich, homeless â€” we get a wide variety," said Fantasia barista Sherrie Simpson, 39. Others .attending Poetry Night, such as Western sophomore Valerie Brodden, also have noticed the welcoming environment. "They're friendly to street people, which is really cool," Brodden said.

Sound/ and Cinema UNDERGROUND COFFEEHOUSE HOSTS MUSIC AND MOVIE SERIES By Taylor Scaggs THE WESTERN FRONT Students looking for free Friday night entertainment without the hassle of long, dark walks on Bellingham streets and the looming threat of a late night ride on "the Party Bus," need to look no further than the Viking Union's Underground Coffeehouse. Starting Oct. 6, the Underground Coffeehouse will host its usual free Friday night concert series, showcasing national and local acts with a new cinematic twist. The Underground Coffeehouse has paired with Associated Students Films and University Dining Services to bring free cult-classic films to the weekly event. "Campus as it currently stands shuts down after 10 p.m.," said Western junior Jeff Talbot, the Underground Coffeehouse Coordinator. "We want people who live on campus to have alternative options to going out and drinking and partying." The AS groups involved are not trying to gain anything financially from these events, Talbot said. They are willing to put time and money on the line to make sure students on campus have safe, alternative options to drinking. The Underground h Coffeehouse Music and Movies Night is just one of the Late Night events, along with this year's previous projects, Late Night at the Rec. Center and Viking Union Late Night, which have been funded solely by the Campus Community Coalition. These events allow students to participate in campus activities until 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. ^Croro By Lauren Ross THE WESTERN FRONT recycled the Z* gt;ra annua materials Galleryu Wa Blood-sucking vampires, death and art all come together in the art exhibition, "Red," presented by Studio UFO. Fully equipped with fake blood; vampire portraits and live morbid-looking mannequins, the show is designed to intrigue even the biggest art skeptic. Artists will use art, drama and costuming to demonstrate vampirism. The exhibit will be an exploration of the addiction to blood and how it relates to common addictions in present society. "Red" and several other exhibits will be showcased from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Oct. 6 at the 23rd annual downtown Bellingham Gallery Walk. Nearly 30 local businesses and galleries will feature work from a variety of artists in the area. Trie event's sponsors include Allied Arts of Whatcom County and the Downtown Renaissance Network. Kirsten Walker, the executive director of the Downtown Renaissance Network, said the event is a place for artists to show their work to the community. "There is a real variety of art so there is something for everyone," Walker said. Studio UFO owner Trish Harding said the exhibit is an eerie look at the symbolism behind vampires. Harding compared blood addiction to the addiction to cigarettes. "I think vampirism is totally about addiction," she said. Viewers can expect more than just blood sucking and gore, Harding said. "You can expect something that is a little out of the ordinary and kind of festive, but presents the Halloween scenario in a whole new light," Harding said. Harding said she was concerned about viewer reaction due to the graphic content of the adults-only show. "We do have to watch what we do a bit," Harding said. Harding teaches art classes for adults at the studio and will be spotlighting some of her students' work in the show. Models decked but in vampire-like costuming will serve as art pieces while posing during the event. Their photographs, taken by Mark Fuller, will also be on display. "It's like a haunted house with a different twist to it," Harding said. She said by being edgy the exhibit focuses on a young adult audience. "I wanted to do something a little bit more than just a group of paintings, Harding said. "It's really meant for young people." Another gallery involved is Barbo Furniture owner Holly Barbo is participating in the gallery walk for the 22nd time this year. She will be displaying metal art by various artists around the region. Barbo said the event is a great opportunity for the community because people are able to enjoy art with other people from the area. "We have a phenomenal number of artists here and the gallery walk is an expression of that art and letting people know what's available," Barbo said. "It's good because you get to see the art but its also good because you get to see the community too," Barbo said. The expression "one man's trash is another man's treasure," is very true of the "REart" exhibition. The show features art made from a variety of salvaged materialsâ€”anything from found goods to garbage. Jason Darling, Outreach and Marketing Manager of the RE Store, said the idea is based on using the items that most people throw away. "We are refraining people's perspectives on what's trash and what's not," Darling said. "It just shows that even when you think something's done, you can give it new life." Darling said people should come see the show because it Photo by Laurei "Untitled" art work by included in the exhibit ---------- Western Front 2006-10-06 - Page 7 ---------- WesternFrontOnline.com ARTS ENTERTAINMENT Friday, October 6, 2006 17 The coalition is an organization that uses the university as its home base, but is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The coalition's mission is not to scold students about their alcohol use, but reduce their alcohol misuse by educating and creating alternative options to drinking for students on campus, said Susan Adams, Campus Community Coalition student activities coordinator. "I don't want to stop students from going out to parties, I think parties are great," Adams said. "We're just teaching moderation tips and how to be safe." The goal of the coalition is to give money to these Late Night events now to get them off the ground so when the institute's grant money runs out in August 2007, the campus organizations involved will be able to sustain the projects for the future. "We need to shift more into the area of a social campus," Adams said. "We don't have storesâ€” its very academic lookingâ€”the Viking Union is the only place that's got the buzz and energy."

Event organizers have the fall quarter film and music schedule mapped out and hope the new addition to the weekly event is a success so they can continue to provide this free option for students in winter and spring quarters as well. Adams said she is confident the money going into the Late Night pilot projects is being put to good use, citing a noticeable increase in attendance from last year's events. "The numbers are up this year for all the events," Adams said. A record 3,000 students were at the Wade King Rec. Center last Monday compared to 1,200 at the event last year. In addition, 1,300 students attended on-campus events last Friday, Adams said. "Something is in the air," she said. Music and Movies Night begins at 8 p.m. on Oct. 6 at the Underground Coffeehouse with the folk rock sounds of Jaycob Van Auken and Kelly Jones, followed by Quentin Tarantino's 1992 debut film, "Reservoir Dogs" at 10:30 p.m. mm WW IP3 SM to IK has it a! / i Ross THE WESTERN FRONT Trish Harding is on vampirism may inspire them to re-use their own throwaways. "We are overly accustomed to new things," Darling said. The exhibition will be shown at both Allied Arts of Whatcom County and the RE Store. Another gallery included in the walk is The Blue Horse Gallery. The owner and co-founder of the first Gallery Walk in Bellingham Wade Marlow, will be showing large landscape abstract paintings in the exhibition "Land Marks" by Dederick Ward. The gallery will also host a sneak preview of the Whatcom Artists Studio Tour, which will take place on Oct. 7, 8, 14 and 15. Live music and refreshments will be provided. "Return to Goddess," a series by artist Ed Maher celebrating the feminine form will be featured at Frameworks Gallery. Maher created 20 acrylic paintings exclusively for the show. Owner Paul Hemminger encourages people to view local art because of how much there is available in the city. "Bellingham people pride themselves on all the art in the community," Hemminger said. "In order to keep it alive, we need to support it." Hemminger said Mahr's work is very unique in comparison to other organic abstracts he has seen. "His style evolved so much throughout the series, I have never seen anything like it," Hemminger said. "It's' tough stuff to describe, you just have to see it."

Four years ago, the Mariners were as important to the city as an early morning coffee and a- North Face rain jacket. But after the team's fourth straight losing season came to an end Sunday, fans shrugged their shoulders in apathy. Instead of hoping the pitching comes around in 2007, or praying Adrian Beltre returns to his MVP form of 2004, the Mariners' front office needs to do something courageous. Yes, the time has come to trade our beloved Ichiro. Before you roll your eyes, let me break some things down. In 2007, Ichiro will be in the final year of his contract, which earns him more than $12 million. If he doesn't re-sign, the Mariners will get nothing for the six-time all-star. Does this sound familiar? In 2000, Alex Rodriguez was in the same position. Instead of trading the MVP-caliber shortstop, the Mariners failed to re-sign him and received nothing in return as he fled to play for the Texas Rangers. Standing tall Vikings ground Falcons for first time in 5 years see Ichiro page 9 â€¢ photo by Melissa Blair THE WESTERN FRONT Viking midfielder Kelly Gagne stands with her foot on the ball on Tuesday at Orca Field during a 2-1 victory over Seattle Pacific University. Michael Harthorne THE WESTERN FRONT It took five grueling years, but the Western women's soccer team beat the Seattle Pacific University Falcons 2-1 Tuesday with early goals and defense that didn't allow the Falcons, who made less than 5 percent of their shots, any easy goals. The Falcons, who are ranked first in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and 16th in the nation in the latest NCAA Division II poll, had beaten the Vikings in the teams' previous 10 meetings. "The time had come to beat them," freshman goalkeeper Brittany Martin- Gegax said. The Falcons took 21 hard-earned shots on Martin-Gegax, who finished the game with four saves. The Vikings are in second place in the GNAC with an overall record of 9-3-0 and a 4-1.-0 record against GNAC teams. Offensively, Western moved the ball rapidly upfield in the first half to score early, surprising the Falcons. Senior midfielder Katie Weber scored with 32:13 left in the first half on an assist from freshman defender Meghan Woodman. Junior midfielder Amanda Font scored two minutes later. Font scored a second goal in the first half but an offside penalty negated it. Weber has seven goals this season and Woodman has six assists. Both players lead the team in those categories. The Vikings planned to win by pressuring the Falcons' defense, Viking head coach Travis Connell said. But the Vikings' defense made the difference, keeping the Falcons below their scoring average. The Falcons entered the game averaging 2.27 goals per game, but the Viking defense held them to one goal. The Vikings used a midfielder to help on defense because the Falcons played with three forwards, a- strategy that slowed the Falcons offense, sophomore defender Katie Warner said. The Vikings played aggressively, racking up 14 fouls to the Falcons' eight, and now travel to Arizona to take on Dixie State College. "It's good to get a win like this," Warner said. "But we have to keep our focus going into Arizona." VIKINGS 2 Linebacker leads league with 49 unassisted tackles Kimberly Higginbotham THE WESTERN FRONT The Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs' offense linedup like a red wall pitted against the Vikings at Civic Stadium Sept. 30.. Fans stomped their feet and rang cow bells. A grey-haired woman wearing a red Duluth sweatshirt cheered above the crowd as a Bulldog running back attempted a 10-yard journey down the field. The ball only made it a few yards before 6-foot-l-inch, 225- pound Viking Shane Simmons stopped the play â€” one of 12 tackles he made during the game. Simmons leads the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II with 49 unassisted tackles in five games. He is ranked seventh in total tackles with 56. Simmons said he was not aware of his national ranking until the coaches told him. "I really don't think about it. It's not important to me," Simmons said. "It's the 1-4 season so far that we need to get turned around that is important. If it doesn't, me being nationally ranked doesn't mean too much." Simmons transferred to Western in 2005 and played outside linebacker for one season. He now plays middle linebacker, a position head coach Robin Ross said is Simmons' perfect fit. "The middle linebacker is like the quarterback for the defense," Ross said. "He's the guy who stands in the front of the huddle and makes every call. It's a big'role to take on." Simmons said he likes the see Tackles page 9 â€¢ f ---------- Western Front 2006-10-06 - Page 9 ---------- WesternFrontOnline.com SPORTS Friday, October 6, 2006 19 Andrew Irvine's H After the Chicago Bears pummeled the Seahawks on national television, the Hawks limp into a much needed bye week. Although the Bears beat down the Hawks in every aspect of the game Sunday night, Seattle fans shouldn't panic. The Hawks weren't going to be 16-0 this season and it's tough to beat the Bears in Chicago. That said, it is obvious that the Seahawks have problems. The offensive line is struggling. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is being sacked, at an alarming rate and the running game is non- existent. On the defensive side of the ball, the secondary has problems. The Bears' receiving core found holes in the coverage all game long. Cornerbacks Kelly Jennings and Kelly Herndon both looked vulnerable. Luckily for the Hawks, the bye week comes at a perfect time. The Seahawks can nurse injuries and re-group before taking on the St. Louis Rams in week six. It will be interesting to see how the Hawks react after its first loss since Super Bowl XL. Look for running Shaun Alexander to return, and don't be surprised if Hasselbeck has a career game. :M- *z*mMw:.Gmrt*m : OIÂ»ER Armor ^Hl^Bi Honesty Dependability Guaranteed! 10% Discount with Student IP # 3 3 0 1 6 7 1 - 2 2 7 7 1189 E.

Ichiro insisted he must see improvement from the team before he re-signs, according to a Sept. 30 article in The Seattle Times. The problem is, with a shallow pool of major league free agents and little trade bait on the team, improvement won't come easy for the Mariners. Ichiro is a great player, but he is also more replaceable than many fans think. His .370 on-base percentage in 2006 is a joke for a player who consistently leads the American League in hits. The problem is Ichiro's walks total. In 752 plate appearances this season, Ichiro walked a measly 49 times. This "...for the sake of all of us, it's time to part ways/' Andrew Irvine is unacceptable for a leadoff hitter. Still, I am not saying Ichiro is the cause of the Mariners' problems. Richie Sexson and Beltre continue to struggle in the American League, and the Mariners pitching staff never came together. Even though Ichiro isn't the problem, he is definitely not the solution. Trading Ichiro could be the key to acquiring the players needed to bring the team back into contention. Mariners need offensive power. Seattle finished second-to-last in the American League in RBIs this season. The New York Yankees, who tied for the best record in the major leagues, finished first in RBIs. This isn't a coincidence. The Mariners need runs to The win. We have less power than a beer-league softball team, and Ichiro's paltry 160-pound frame isn't helping. The Mariners need a leader. They need a voice in the clubhouse that can rally the team in early August when morale is low. I understand everyone loves Ichiro. He is the face of the team and never misses games. It's fun to watch him do his yoga routine on the on-deck circle, but the front office needs to sell stock when it's high. That time is now. It's been fun watching Ichiro roam the outfield at Safeco for the last six years. But, it hasn't been fun watching the Mariners miss the playoffs year after year. The team needs power more than speed, pitching more than defense â€” they need a true leader. I'm sorry, Ichiro. It's been a blast, but for the sake of all of us, it's time to part ways. â€¢ Tackles from 8 responsibility of his new position. "I get involved in all the plays, which I really enjoy," he said. Simmons first worked with Ross in high school. He attended a football camp at the University of Oregon, where Ross was coaching at the time. "After watching him on tape, I knew that he was the ideal player to be in the middle of our defense," Ross said. Former Viking running back Duncan Sherrard said Simmons' move to the middle linebacker position was a smart play by the coaching staff. "He was one of our best players on the defense, and still is," Sherrard said. "He brings a rare athleticism to the linebacker field in Division II competition."

But every time I daydream in class about anything but whatever the professor is droning on about, I end up thinking about money â€” like how much my 20-minute escapade into the depths of my imagination cost. According to the Office of Admissions, our Western education costs a pretty $16,000 each year â€” in tuition, books and living expenses â€” for Washington residents. Add that up for a college career and students are looking at a seemingly insurmountable amount of loans that will dent their promised hefty post-graduation salaries. For those of us choosing not-so-lucrative professions, our loan payments may take us closer to the poverty line after graduation than we were while in school. To escape deep debt after graduation, many students toil in the trenches of the real working world, adding 10 to 40 hours to their full load of classes so they can afford their plush, four-room, six-roommate, one-bathroom apartment. As the quarter slips by, more tired students trudge to their morning classes after repeatedly working until 10 p.m. and studying until 4 a.m. Caffeine becomes their personal friend and enemy by keeping them awake but torturing their every waking moment with jitters and paranoia. Why do they submit themselves to this torture? The question boils down to one thing: money. Some students are now indignantly thinking to themselves that they're working and going to school full-time for the education and are burning my column in effigy. But let's be honest â€” it's no secret. the piece of paper that says "bachelor's degree" on it along with your name buys you more earning power (unless you're a journalism student â€” professors tell us nearly daily we will live just above poverty levels for the profession we have chosen). So, with the exception of delusional, idealistic students like journalism majors, the bottom line of a college career comes down to the dollar. And working more now means less debt later, so students sacrifice their sanity to stay out of that hole. But working may not be such a bad thing. According to the Office of Admissions, it might actually help our college careers â€” a survey of Western students found those who work 10 to 15 hours per week fair better academically than those who do not have a job. Appropriately, they had no information about those who work and go to school full-time. It's, the Office of Admissions, and they would not want to scare away potential money â€”- I mean students â€” by J giving statistics about those bleary-eyed, caffeine-junkie, workaholics who make up a r / good portion of the student body. I have worked all three paths. My first years I lit both my wicks and worked full-time while taking 15 credits each quarter. After realizing that my caffeine addiction had gone too far when I was drinking coffee chased by Red Bull for a midnight snack, I jumped headfirst into debt by taking my junior year off from work. For my final hurrah, I'm accepting the prescription of admissions and working 10 to 15 hours each week. I, of course, was not satisfied and decided to stress myself out by taking 20 credits, but it was not my decision. It was the caffeine talking. I'm glad I am working again, despite my caffeine addiction once more rearing its jittery head. In my junior year Western comprised nearly my entire social sphere. And 7 was drinking coffee chased by Red Bull for a midnight snack. - Matt Cagne despite the plethora of campus social resources, I felt something was missing, and not just the paychecks. I need that world outside this impressionistic microcosm. I'm happy to be only working. 10 to 15 hours each week â€” but also not just.for the paycheck. One look at my disheveled self and bloodshot eyes in photos from that early era when I worked and studied way too hard brings back memories of bad food, odd smells emanating from various piles of laundry and stress that permeated every aspect of cartoon by Tristan Hobson THE WESTERN FRONT my life. But I have another world outside of Western where my school worries and stress tend to fall away. My job is relatively easy, and it has become almost relaxing â€” a mediation of repetitive activity that doesn't stimulate my mind, but doesn't stress it either. And gathering a paycheck is much better than acquiring debt. So, for those of you slacking off and not working, get a job, you bums. Your education just might be worth it. SlllifilfllSlSlsSsWf^^ ---------- Western Front 2006-10-06 - Page 11 ---------- WesternFrontOnline.com OPINION Friday, October 6, 2006 111 Vote based on policy not isolated scandal Matt Oak THE WESTERN FRONT Despite the constant bombardment of political scandals and corruption, the public needs a dose of reality and less mistrust of elected political leaders. In late September U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, R-Florida, resigned after ABC News reported that he had inappropriate contact with a 16-year-old male, via e-mail and instant messages. Foley later admitted his guilt, blaming his actions on alcoholism. Given scandals such as these which dominate headlines year-round, it may seem like a good idea to throw all trust for political leaders out the window. On the contrary, it is the public's duty as voters and citizens to take these scandals in context and not be sucked into the ideology that all politicians are corrupt by definition. The problem is that popular public belief holds that there is no reason to trust politicians. People should go to outside mainstream media and expose themselves to other sources in order to really know what's going onâ€” to find out what politicians are doing in the office, rather than in the bedroom. The root of this problem lies not with the politicians, but with the stories printed each day about them in newspapers and broadcasted on television reports. If the media crams these scandals down the throats of the public, how is the public then able to make room to stomach any of the good political action that rarely warrants a headline? Voters need to call on other sources, such as local party headquarters and public records, that contain the positive action being done by elected officials without being distracted by unrelated stories. Sara Singleton, a Western political science professor, said most of the issues politicians say they will fix, get fixed. Contrary to a common belief among voters that politicians cheat and lie their way into officej elected officials, for the most part, do their jobs as they advertised. Dr. Todd Donovan, Western political science professor, said this scandal surrounding Foley means that people may shy away from voting for the Republican candidate because of the party relationship, making Democrats more hopeful about taking the seat. Voters let scandals such as Foley's affect their decision in the polls, and officials are voted into office without consideration of their political knowledge or ability. It is both irresponsible and unfair to label a candidate unfit to serve based on a partisan affiliation with one corrupt bureaucrat. The sooner people learn to look at issues and policies and take over-hyped scandals with a grain of salt, the sooner they can consider themselves a responsible, well-informed population. Nobody can condone the actions of Foley, but citizens need to realize the actions of a few can't represent how we view our political leaders as a whole. This scandal with Mark Foley is an isolated incident blown out of proportion. The public needs to take a deep breath and realize that, with few exceptions, politicians do their jobs. Believing all politicians are corrupt is like believing everything purple tastes like grape soda. All voters should recognize the absurdity of this stereotype and look beyond mass media to see what politicians really do while serving office.

Host for the association meeting next year will be the University of Washington. Nora Cummins To Retire At Year's End By WAYNE SMITH Plans to retire at the end ofthis, year were announced this week by Miss Nora B. Cummins, long time member of the faculty. MissCummins, political science professor and adviser of the- International Relations club, first came toWestern in 1915 and has watched the school grow to its present size. She states that.when she firstcame here there were just two buildings, the Main building and the old Industrial Arts building. Thepresent infirmary was a private home and located on the site of Edens hall. Private homes also occupied t he sites Of the PE building and the Library. Miss Cummins' chief interest is in international relationsand she has followed that by devoting much of her time to the supervision of the International Relationsclub since it was organized on the campus in 1926. Miss Cummins has also served on virtually everyfaculty committee in her long career and had the honor of being chairman of t he fiftieth anniversarycelebration during the entire year of 1949. In addition to her campus activities, Miss Cummins hasfound time to play an active part in community affairs. During the second world war she was a member of the mayor's civil defense committee. S he was second president of the Business andProfessional Women's club and served as a member of the board of directors of the League of WomenVoters. When Miss Cummins first came to Western, she was supervisor of student teaching and it waslargely through her efforts that student teachers were allowed to receive training in the Bellingham public (schools. She then did graduate work at Columbia University and received her masters degree. On herreturn to Western she taught in the social science department. As yet Miss Cummins has made nofuture plans as to what she will do after her retirement. New Teachers Urged To Use Mobile X-RayGraduates who will begin teaching in the fall and students whofwill do student teaching in the fall quarterare urged by Mi s Mira Boothby, college nurse, to take advantage of the portable 'X-ray unit which is inBellingham this month. Miss Boothby said that those wishing certification should call at the nurse'soffice for identification cards before going to the unit. All students are invited to have an X-ray, she said,but those who will need certification in order to accept a teaching position or do student teaching in thefall are especially urged to do so at the present time. The unit will be in operation daily except Sundayand Monday, with the hours to be from 1 p. m. to 8 p. m. when located at all places except downtownwhen it will operate from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. The schedule for the unit is as follows: June 1, Whatcomjunior high school; June 2, J. C.|Penney store; June 5, Fairhaven junior high school; June 6, Twelfthstreet and Harris avenue; June 7, Larrabee school; June 8, Lowell school; June 9, J. C. New LoungeWill Open On June 18 With a few final touches yet to be added, the new student lounge and snack barin the Auditorium- Music building will be open for business on June 18, the first day of summer quarter.Painting of. the two rooms has been completed _ and work is being done now on the drapes and thefurniture. The snack bar in the fountain room is still unfinished. Looking forward to the day when the newlounge will open, Freddie Haight, chairman of the student facilities committee, expresses the hopethat students will keep it in good condition. "We hope that when you see the rooms you will realize howfortunate we are to have such wonderful facilitiesâ€” and that it is our responsibility to see that it iskept in good shape. It's up to every individual to see that he does his share in keeping our rooms in good conditiion." None of the entries submitted in the recent name-the-lounge contest were suitable, in thejudgment of the facilities committee, which reserved the right to accept any or none of the suggestions. / "Vik's Grotto is the name being used temporarily," Miss Haight said. "If you can think of another name, put your comments and suggestions in the box located in the co-op."

EARLE INCREASE DELAYED Action on a salary increase for co-op managerLouis Earle was postponed until January 1, 1952. A special committee reported that thisarrangement was agreeable to Earle. The board voted to authorize the student facilities committee andthe lounge maanger to dispose of furniture of the present student lounge which will not be transferredto the new snack bar. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1951 June 1 - Page 2 ---------- EDITORIALS 'Thirty'... the End Of an Enjoyable Job With this final effort, the present Collegian editorand staff say "thirty" to a year's work . . work that we have enjoyed every minute. Our goal throughout the year has been a multiple one, shaped by the varied responsibilities of a college press. The paper, aswe see it, has these duties to perform: to record the minutiae of college comings and going and doings,to speak as a voice of the students who own the paper, and to provide a training ground for effectiveparticipation in a democratic society. We feel that we have succeeded to a great degree in achievingthe first of these goals-^-report-inf the activities of the college community. A small and loyal staff hasworked hard to cover every phase of campus life. We have tried to emphasize student activities,neglecting outside news and trivial faculty personal items. We haven't been able to please everyone allthe time, much- as we would like to. Sometimes the principles of good journalism re-quried a firmnegative answer to the most sincere requests. As a voice of the students, the paper functions only aswell as students take an interest in it. The paper is both a leader and a follower of student opinion. Ifstudents do not formulate or express their own opinions, they are but idle "second-guessers" in criticizing a paper which steps out on a limb to express a viewpoint. We prefer to consolidate and articulate analready formulated student viewpoint. The college press functions as training ground for effectivedemocratic participation only to the extent which it is allowed freedom from administrative control. Aprotected press is a weak and spineless press. We think the soundest policy in this regard is thestudent responsibility principle. Then the pressures of society can operate as they do in the case of anyother paper and the editors can learn by their mistakes just as all editors come to learn. "But studentsare so irresponsible," is the terrified comment made by those who fear the consequences of too muchstudent self-government, too much student self-discipline, too much freedom of the college press.Irresponsible, yes, because they haven't had a chance to develop responsibility. The college student,after all, is a future citizen who is soon going to have the responsibility of taxing and spending billions ofdollars, the responsibility of possessing a weapon such as the H-bomb, the responsibility of creating alasting peaceâ€”something his elders still haven't achieved. We say, let the college students have lots of responsibilities, let them play around with them, le them make lots of mistakes. It's the only way they'lllearn to become responsible citizens. Douglas Horton, well-known churchman, recently put it like this,slightly paraphrased: "Problems come only to the living and the working . . . There are no issues in thelives of those willing to sleep with their fathers . . . You either push up issues or push up daisies." Withthis final comment, we say "thirty" and fade away, with many grateful remembrances of a grateful andappreciative faculty and student body.

By BOB BOWMAN S t u d e n t s interviewed forthis week's student poll were asked the question: "Are you satisfied with the names now used for thebuildings of the campus, MRH, Music-Auditorium, etc, or do you think they should be named afterindividuals or prominent alumni?'' Responses were varied but the majority of students questionedfavored renaming the buildings. Gene Johnson stated, "I figure that as long as we are now a largecollege instead of a jerk-water i n s t i t u t i o n , we should act like one. We should honor a fewpeople who have graduated from here as well as give the buildings intelligent names." In contrast toJohnson's statement was that of Alan Laxdahl. He said, "No one would use the name of a person even if it were given to a building. Let a sleeping Â«dog lie." Stanley Catron was undecided. He ControversyOver Naming of Buildings is Query of Week; Large Variation in Opinions replied, "Most schools havenamed their buildings after individuals and it would probobly be more appropriate than the names nowused. However, it might be confusing to new students or visitors." George Dowd is heartily in favor ofrenaming the buildings. He commented, "I have always felt that buildings should be named afterprominent alumni. I think the practice of not naming our buildings dates us as a normal school."Presenting an opposite view was Kappy Anderson who declared, "I think they should leave things asthey are unless they find a very good name." Jim Lockhart cautiously, "I think it would be a good idea torename the buildings if the names used were worthy." Gene Caraker stated, "I think the names nowused are unsatisfactory and renaming the buildings would be a great help." Mailbag: Letters to theEditor To the Associated Women Students and the Student Body as a whole: Now that my term asAssociated Womens' Students President is ending, I.feel that I have a lot to say to everyone. Frst Iwould like to thank everyone for helping the AWS so much this year. I know that without the help andcooperation the faculty and the students gave us our year would not have been so successful. I've reallyenjoyed all the work this year and really considered it an honor to serve you. Through this responsibility,I have met a lot of people and got to know others a lot better. â€¢AWS sponsors a lot of differentfunctions throughout the year, such as Girls Leaders' Conference, dances, teas, assemblies, and alsoprojects to raise money for our Displaced Persons fund. Through the appointed chairman and hercommittee of each function, all our activities were a success, but without these capable leaders I'm surethey would not have been. Many girls as well as boys helped us a lot this year without any recognition.The commission and our advisers who worked with me this year deserve a lot of credit and thanks, too.Through them these capable leaders were chosen, besides all the help they gave. They, really workedhard. Again I would like to say thanks a lot for helping us so much this year, and I wish Marion Stefaniand everyone the hest of luck this coming school year. Sincerely, RUBY JOHNSON AWS PresidentLITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS 1 \ fÂ¥ By Bibler I wonder what will happen to your car tonight?" By MORTGRONSETH Here it is the last issue of the year, and time to have a look at what has been happening insports from September through June. Football was the first sport to see the light of day, and the Vikacame through with everything but the league championship. The blue and white scored almost fourtimes as many points as their opponentsâ€” 258 to 67â€”were only beaten twice in ten outings, bothtimes by six points, and they were once held to a 13 to 13 tie. The most points scored against the teamin one game was by College of Puget Sound, when the Ta-coma boys got a total of 13 on CoachLappenbusch's straight-line defense. The worst defeat the Viks handed anyone this year was the 47 to 0 defeat of Pacific Lutheran college at their Homecoming on October 21 in Tacoma. About the comingyear, Coach Lappenbusch said, "I've got my foot on the accelerator and I hope no one has. his foot onthe brakes. We will have some trouble filling the spot of the St. Martin game, but I've written letters toschools in Oregon, California, and also the University of Hawaii. I hope to get a game with one of thoseschools." * * * Basketball had one of its most successful seasons, as the squad broke better than evenin their 25 games. They won 13 and lost 12. The blazing finish is one that will be remembered for yearsby those who saw the game. The Vikings handed the Eastern Washington Savages a 54 to 53defeatâ€”Big Bill McDonald's splash as he hit the poolâ€”and the rest of the swimming basketballteam. For next year, basketball is quite a question mark. There are some good boys coming up from theJV squadâ€”if Uncle Sam leaves them in schoolâ€”and there should be some good players enrollingin.school. Next year should be a bigger and better year on the maple courts. * â€¢ * In spring sports the boys from Vikingville came out with mild success in both the major and minor fields. The mostsuccessful of the spring sports was golf, as they swept all but one meet. Tennis broke about even, andbaseball and track weren't highly successful, but each had a flash of brUHance. â€¢Some individuals,Mbdris Peterson, Artis Larsson, and the relay team of Jerry Reinert, Dave Grocott, Al Meuli, and BillGarrison were outstanding point getters in almost all meets. InJbaseball the pitching this year was thehigh point in almost every game. Bob Lajala, Bob Hansen, Spud Walley, and Russ Neilsen were some of the most effective. It the hitting department it was Bob Scoll and Bud Scott who kept the opposingpitchers on their toes. All in all, this year was a great success as far as Evergreen conferencecompetition and outside competition is concerned. * * * Another successful year was also completedin the intramural athletics. Basketball had a large number of teams, with the jrace close most of the way. Fastball was also tops en the list, with the two leagues going strong, giving each other a bad time,and many upsets occuringduring the season. There were also some very good tournaments in theintramural programâ€”badminton and ping-pong (table tennis) included among these. * * â€¢ * Hopesfrom this side of the athletic program that there can be some improvement in the win column nextyearâ€”they did a wonderful job this year, but we can still strive for improvementâ€”and a pat on the backto each and every student and faculty member who made this year a big success in athletics.

Men Who Qualify Maybe Exempt Undergraduate college students will not be drafted until they have had an opportunity topresent evidence of, their class standing or until results of their college qualification teste areknown. These scores will be mailed directly to the student's draft board. In no case willpostponements be granted after August 20, 1951, unless the student qualifies as a result of the test orhis grade standing. William O'Neil, assistant registrar, points out that the student will not be draftedimmediately on this date, but he may have his classification changed. Men students who are graduating this spring and who wish to have a 30 day draft extension must apply to their local board as soon aspossible. This 30 day extension period enables the student either to enlist in the branch of service ^ofhis own choice or find a place in industry which is vital to national defense.

This mark is five-tenths of a second lower than the established Latvianrecord. Peterson, who speaks with only a slight trace^of an accent, went on to say, "Next year I havehopes of lowering the conference low hurdle record." This year the brown wavy-haired lad missed tyingthe record by only three-tenths* ~ of a second. "I hope that when Latvia becomes Free Latvia, my record will become recognized there." With blue eyes sparkling, the 21- year-old Peterson recalled his earlieryears. "I attended school in my home town of Naukensi, Latvia. In Latvia we have seven grades In theelementary school, and high school consists of five grades. I graduated from the elementary school,then entered a Latvian high school in Germany, "The school didn't nave an organized sports program,but I played volley ball and turned out for track on the YMCA team. I tried the' shot put, broad jump, andlow hurdles, but I was still too young to do very much. "During the war my whole family was forced tomove to Germany, but we were lucky. Instead of forced labor in the factories, we all worked on a farm.There was never enough to eat and the treatment which we received was very rough. If I'd been but ayear older, I would have had to serve in the German army. "At the war's end we lived in a displacedpersons camp for three and a half years.^ At the end of that time, the Lutheran church paid our way toNew York City, and from there we came out here to Ferndale where my dad got a job. I went to Ferndale high for three months so that I could better learn to speak English, and last Winter I came here toWestern. "I-like this country very much; much, much better than Russian-controlled Latvia. I hope tobecome a citizen here someday."

I t hasbeen a great pleasure to serve as ASB president. I have gained personally many gratifying experienceswhich I shall always remember. There have been times when I have wondered whether this job has beenworth the effort but always some incident has happened wjiich has made it seem worth while. It has been a great pleasure to work wfth my fellow students on the board. They have at all times thought for the good of the entire student body and I know that they will continue to do so in the years to come. It hasseemed desirable to me to hold to the philosophy of "the greatest good for the greatest number."Whenever a minority group strays from this thinking and attempts to benefit their own small group theyare not acting for the benefit of the entire student body. This has been a year of reduced enrollment andreduced finances. I think that the board has done an excellent job in reducing expenditures to meet thesituation. Next year's budget has been set at a minimum. I hope that the budget will not suffer a cutduring the middle of the year as we were forced to do this year. There is no place for deficit financing inour student body. *- I would like to wish next year's president, Dick Pedersen all the luck in the world.We had many personal discussions on our trip to Salt Lake and I am convinced .that he will do anexcellent job. He will be very capably helped by Larry Wilson, next year's "Veep." In conclusion I think itwould be well to remember that the president is no better than his Board of Control. Keep electing capable and efficient members to the board and you will have capable and efficient ASB presidents. It hasindeed been a pleasure to serve you!

This year the faculty will enter in academic procession wearing fullregalia. The wearing of caps and gowns by faculty and graduating students at commencements incolleges and .universities today is a survivial of an old custom. During the late middle ages and earlyRenaissance, gowns were worn by students and faculty alike to designate the wearer's affiliation witha college or university Both the type of gown and tie colors of the hood worn with it symbolize theacademic rank of the, wearer and the institution that has conferred this raffle upon him. The Doctor'sgown has full f l o w i ng sleeves barred with velvet, and is faced with velvet its ^entire length. TheMaster's gown has closed sleeves' slit at the elbow. In effect the slit leaves the wearer's forearmsuncovered. The Bachelor's gown has cuff-length f u l l flowing sleeves. The hoods worn by the facultyare lined with the traditional colors of the institution that has granted the wearer the degree. The color ofthe velvet of the neck band and facing denote the field of study within the institution from which thedegree as granted". For instance, white denotes Arts and.

Willard and Sylvia Threlkeld, 1950 graduates, have written to Mrs. MayBettman about their experiences in New York, where Willard is enrolled at Columbia university. Social and economic conditions are described in a letter from Bob Safsten. He says that the "people are quitestoic, most of them- approaching fatalism in their thinking. Sweden is a small, weak, and almostpoor country, compared with our standards, which, of course, isn't fair. "They know' that war in anyfashion would simply sweep the country clear of any hope of the survival of the height of their presentstandard of living, and virtually destroy the kingdom politically and economically." Safsten reportsthat Europe is old "and for all its moderness, Sweden is also growing old and stagnant." TheThrelkeld's visited in Florida before going to New York. They have an apartment in Brooklyn, within easywalking distance of Coney Island. Willard spends two days each week in classes and three days in field work,'with a career as a social worker as his goal. At present he is doing field work as a medical socialworker with the Veterans administration in Brooklyn. His wife works for the Reuben H.

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

Cooper, commissioner of education, has recently conferred with the heads of two national chain broadcasting companies at their invitation, and the possibility of establishing a uniform educational program may 'cause Secretary Wilbur to call a conference to discuss and solve this new problem for the satisfaction of educational and radio authorities. — — W .

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

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

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

"Quid sit futurum eras, fuge quaerere"; In this great Northwest, true to that quotation from Horace, there is no telling what the morrow will bring, but we hope it won't Be rain. ....Rain has twice interrupted our baseball games, but tomorrow the Norseman will probably play the University of Washington Frosh on a dry and sunny field with ninety per cent of the Normal student body rooting for the home team.

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

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

WHATCOM HIGH NINE WIN SECOND TIME Hard Hitting Aggregation of High School Players Beat Vikings in ^Practice Game, Tuesday Evening. • Still another time the Vikings bowed before the hard hitting Whatcom high school nine, in a seven-inning practice game on Waldo field Tuesday evening. The Vikings gathered up four runs in the first three innings, and then went runless for the next four. The Whatcom lads garnered their first run off Thorlakson in the second inning when they bunched three, hits, but did not score again until the fourth frame when they gained two more runs, principally on Viking errors. Then in the seventh stanza, they gathered two more runs off Thorlakson and his teammates, to win the fray five to ^foiir. •••.'.'•'• '••••;'• '^'^Thls: is theysecond.:;tin gt;e.';'.-the/Red^ j S k ^ h a v e d W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE CRAM HEADS TENNIS Best Racquet Wielders Meet Next Week and Some Fast Games Are (Promised by Coach Sam Carver. We see that the Sophomores, with the help of the upperclass-men, won the inierclass track meet last week. The relay was a revelation to the coach who is looking for some fast quarter mile material. * * * With the advent of real spring Weather last Week, there Was some good time made in the runs. Most outstanding in the longer runs was the time in the mile. Bobby Carboneau is going to make it tough for runners in that division. In the shorter runs, Axelson made the best itme when he ran the 220 in a little over 23 seconds. In all some good material was uncovered which should prove very valuable to the 1929 track squad. These balmy spring fever days are making the tennis courts a very much frequented spot. Between those who play for fun and those who have classes in the net sport there is very little chance for the professionals to show their stuff. However, the tournament players such as Joe Hermsen, Keplin-ger, Ham Church, Cordon Leen, and some of the other celebrities, manage to find a vacant hour occasionally in which they pound a few balls back and forth across the net, and call it a tournament match. Intramural baseball as now occupying the center of the sportlight in the Viking sport columns. if * ' * Monday evening saw the defeat of the Scandinavian Herring Chokers led., by ..Swede Anderson... The Men's Club scored 17 runs while the fish killers accumulated only 8 markers. Coach Earl Jewell acted as the blind man of the contest. And here we se him heading for home after the game. He must have reason for such a show of speed. * : gt; * « The Vikings stand a good chance of going through the season without losing any games except to the Whatcom High team, that is if Jupe Pluvius keeps postponing the regular scheduled games. * * * This week we hope thai the weather will be settled enough to permit the Normaliies to meet the Frosh. * * if We have failed to lose two games already due to the inclement weather conditions. The other night in practice, when Jewell told Dixon to smack the old apple on the kisser, Dixon must have thought that the coach meant the girl friend, for he smacked it very lovingly. * * * * Teddy Clarke says that the Vikings are saving their base hits for the Frosh, and that is the reason for letting the Redskins beat us the other night. ....Granny., says., that., he., would rather play short stop, because so many pitchers get knocked out— of the box. * * * * And another week is at an end, —almost. With the sun shining and the weather ideal the tennis tournament is well under way. Match play has been rather slow but Coach Carver has given explicit instructions as to a quick play-off, and since outside matches can not be played until the school tournament is complete, the boys have been rushing things. t Arthur Cram, by defeating Richard Ludwig, went into the first position. The scores were 6-2; 6-1. Command overwhelmed Springsteel, and moved up to the third post. Keplinger trounced Leen to the tune of 6-0, and advanced in the ladder. Not any of the above matches showed brilliant play, the losers being outclassed by their opponents.

On Thursday,.April 18, about 4 p. m. the editor, staff writers, advisor, and printers forgot their worries. In the seclusion of Miller Sutherlen's print shop, they conferred the time honored rites of initiation upon eight cub reporters. Heads Written The first hour was spent writing heads and in speculating upon the possible return of one member who had been sent out to buy refreshments. When, contrary to expectations, he returned, the business of initiation was taken up. It is rather unique to be initiated in a dark underground passage and the initiates will not soon forget it. Nor will they lt; forget their introduction to those interesting little creatures.. the type-lice, which flourish in print shops. Thousands of type-lice were driven from their peaceful homes among the type for the benefit of the cubs. However, the type-lice failed to discriminate between initiates and the others so the old members suffered, too. Hot dogs and coffee were served and the excitement continued until -it was suggested that everyone set to and clean up the shop, at which the party broke up and the members quickly dispersed. Which all goes to support the. old theory that a little nonsense now and then is 1 relished by even a newswriter. . —O : Miss A gatha Turley Pleases in Assemby Annual Music Contest Held Last Saturday (Continued from Page One) non band and orchestra, the Everett orchestra, and the Stanwood Junior League band were probably the best received events on the program, showing a fine interpretation of their selections.

Miss Turley has had wide experience in her career as a singer, which was shown in the remarkable'control and versatile richness •of her voice. Song Rendered Twice ;' "Sing Joyous Bird", by Phillips, seemed to be a favorite and as a result was rendered twic to an appreciative audience. "April.. Is ..a Lady" and "What's in the Air Today" were other compositions which received an enviable ovation. Miss Agatha Turley is a radio artist and delights the listeners over station K J R, .Seattle. o Loser Will Win Faculty Wager Can you win by losing? Much consternation has been felt during the past two months over the decrease in the daily receipts at the cafeteria Each week has shown a smaller cash income than the last, and Mrs. Day, the manager, has been working on several theories but without results. Wednesday " afternoon a Viking reporter discovered the real solution to the problem: A reducing contest has been entered into by several of the more reducible lady members of our faculty. Each contestant puts up a dollar a week, and at the end of a four weeks period, the one losing the most takes all. None has proved herself to be the champion "good loser" yet as the two previous four weeks periods have been won by two different people. The present contest, however, will probably decide the issue, and all contestants are in high hopes of winning Another member of the faculty has been chosen to hold the.stakes (or should one say steaks?) and the third contest is well under way All we can say, since it is such a weighty proposition, is, "May the best loser win." r f f '—i-. ^O '• BARTON HOME BITS ;::';f Ruth-•Evans,, spent the week-end at hervhome in Seattle.

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

The Misses Krueger and Hopkins are teaching at the Whitney school in Anacortes. o VODVIL TRYOUTS Arthur Cram and Lyle Summers wound up a successful debate season by defeating Seattle College by a decisive margin in Seattle, April 5. The question was Resolved; That trial by jury should be substituted for trial by judges. No point was to be made over the number of judges. It was a cross examination and cross question type of debate which proves so interesting to the audience and makes it necessary for the participants to be thoroughly familiar with their subject in order to refute direct questions. Cram and Summers created quite a sensational innovation by debating extemporaneously, using no notes whatsoever, even in the rebuttal. Father Edwards, coach of the team of the sectarian institution, paid them the tribute of being the "best prepared and" informed debaters he had seen in action." Won Many Decisions A summary of the forensic season show highly commendatory results for our representatives. The men of the school took part in five contests, winning three while the remaining two were no decision debates, -v ' Curtis Bell and Stanley Craft debated before the assembly March 8, (Continued from Page One) in a no decision contest, with the University of Washington Freshman. Later they took a decision from Parkland college' there. Cram and Summers also took a' second decision from Parkland.

Women Win Decisions The women debated three times, losing only, one decision. gt; Frieda Massey and Ethel Hendricks successfully held the negative side of the question, Rsolved: That temporary insanity as a defense for crime should be abolished, in a meet which was held here with the College of Puget Sound. The traveling team consisted of Helen Fitz-water and Rose Brown who upheld the affirmative of the. same question, lost the debate with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma, but won the other against Parkland. Edith Dyer and Robert Cooper were the alternates for the two questions. Although they did not get an opportunity to participate, Miss Madden stated that- they worked very hard and aided the others a great deal in the preparation, gathering and presentation of material.

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

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

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

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

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

It is estimated that between two and five percent of college women suffer fromanorexia or bulimia and 70 percent experience some type of disordered eating patterns. Ten percent ofall those with eating disorders are men. The highest percentage of people with anorexia and bulimia is found in environments that stress achievement, such as college campuses. Candice Wiggumspecializes in eating disorders and is a counselor in Western's Counseling Center. Some of the reasonseating disorders are growing among college students, especially freshmen, are that during collegeyears, a persons life is changing, they have left home and have high expectations, Wiggumexplained. With dramatic change, people often feel a lack of control, Wiggum said. Kim Mow, aLifestyle Advisor who specializes in eating disorders, said that common reasons eating disordersbegin are "feelings of loss of control, a lowered self-esteem and'a warped body image." Duringpeople's twenties, there is often a search for identity. People questioning who they are and how they fitinto society can lead to a lot of anxiety. This anxiety may foster perfectionist desires and lead todepression, a beginning for an eating disorder. When there is a group of people in the same area, allexperiencing the same changes, eating disorders flourish. Besides influences from mainstreammedia, one reason eating disorders prevail on college campuses is because a campus is a fairlyhomogenous group. Students with lowered self-esteem and feelings of lack of control easily comparethemselves to roommates, friends and fellow students,. It is this comparison that can easily transferinsecurities about relationships, sexuality, appearance and intelligence to body image. Wiggum saidthat in group living, "insecurities bounce off each other." The environment, living situation andgroups of friends can lead to "silent competitions" involving eating disorders; Wiggum said. Control is amajor focus of eating disorders. Someone may begin exercising control in his or her life by controllingfood intake; but eating disorders "end up controlling their life and mind," Mow said. Someone with aneating disorder may spend time and energy focusing on not eating, or if they eat, how to lose thecalories. They "think of food as the enemy," Mow said, "not as nourishment." "Instead of using food fornourishment reasons, (people with eating disorders) use it (food) for punishment reasons," Wiggum explained. Many people with eating disorders don't consider themselves anorexic or bulimic, buteating disorders have many levels. In a group of 20 people, (mostly women) one person is likely to beanorexic or bulimic. In that same group, 14 probably have some kind of disordered eating habits whichinclude severe dieting and feeling poorly about weight and size. Common among college students,especially women, is a low-fat or no-fat diet. This form of eating is mainly comprised of foods such asrice and popcorn. Even items such as cheese, meats and salad dressings are only eaten if marked bythe 'no-fat' seal of approval. Mow said that this no-fat diet is often labeled as "eating a healthy diet."However, people's bodies need fat to maintain themselves. Wiggum said that the "no-fat" diet is an"absolute academic. Fat is not bad. The original idea was to lower the fat in people's diets." Someoneobsessed with eating the least amount of fat ends up striving to "win the fat contest," Wiggum said.However, she added, "if you win this contest, you could die." Excuses flourish with people who haveeating disorders. Anorexics say they have already eaten, aren't hungry or don't have the money, andthey avoid social situations where food could be present. Bulemics may hide out to binge and purge inprivate. People exercising control of the food know "how to get out of eating without anyone noticing,"Mow said. Also common among those with eating disorders is high attention to exercise, driven by afear of gaining weight. Often, "exercise replaces eating," Mow said. Men, although in much smallernumbers than women, are also affected by eating disorders. Wiggum said that some men may "feel they can't talk about it because it is a women's disease." Men with an eating disorder may becomecompulsive about body building, sometimes through the use of anabolic steroids. Others display themore classic eating disorder symptoms. Wiggum stressed that people's lifestyles do not have to revolve around food and weight. "We need to ask, why are we doing this to ourselves?" Wiggum said. "A lot ofpeople say, T know I have a problem. I want to take care of it myself.' It's much easier if you havesupport," Wiggum said. "Your health is the number one primary concern." ---------- Western Front - 1996 February 2 - Page 8 ---------- # 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS February 6.1996 Women destroy Loggers Vikings nearlyreach century mark in lopsided hoops victory Christine Troyke Front reporter Western's women'sbasketball team put on a defensive and fast-break clinic that destroyed the University of Puget Sound 95-61 Saturday night in Carver Gym. Western, 18-6 on the season and 7-1 in the Pacific NorthwestAthletic Conference, led by as many as 42 points and shooting 55.7 percent from the field. "Not one(player) can hit the floor like (center) Gina (Sampson) can, and that's why it's fun for me," guard KristyEggen said. "My favorite thing about Aprn Saunders shoots this team, besides our defense, is the fastbreak. "It's incredible when we can light it up like that, when Gina can get down that court and do it forus." UPS (6-12, 1-7) was unable to end Western's 14- game home court winning streak. Sampson ledthe team with 20 points. K.C. Mattingly added 15, including three 3-point-ers. Freshman guard NicoleKrell contributed three more 3-pointers and finished with 11. Western leads the PNWAC with 39.9percent 3-point shooting. "We really just try to come out and use those things we've been working onto crush them," Eggen said. "And crush them is the right word." "One of the great things about ourteam is that it's not one person they (opponents) can capitalize on," Head Coach Carmen Dolfo said. "Whatever they give us, someone really wants to step up." Western dominated the game from the tip-off. The defense never let up and UPS basically got out-hustled. Halfway through the Front/Jesse Noltefirst half, Western led 29- in traffic Saturday. 9. Their lead just kept growing; the score at half-time wasan impressive 48-26. "They were able to maintain a real high level of play. Everybody contributed,"assistant coach Lori deKubber said. "I think one of the things that really got us going was the fast break. "Kristy Eggen did a great job of getting the ball up the court and getting the open person early on. Thatopened things up for everybody else." Western plays next on Feb. 15 at No. 8 Simon Fraser University(21-3, 3-1). PEACE CORPS IS ON CAMPUS TODAY TOMORROW!!! Tuesday.

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

"Well, we played a much better teamtonight," Western's right wing Marty Brueggemann said. "But we're pretty happy with the way we playedoverall." Western kept it close early, trailing 1-0 at the end of the first 20 minutes of play. Goalie ToddCarlson came up with quality saves on several point-blank shots, while CBC outshot the Vikings' 19-10.Western, however, was having problems getting the puck out of the zone. They let CBC set up play afterplay. But Carlson came up with the saves that kept the score 1-0 for the first period. "Todd (Carlson) didan excellent job. I know he got 10 goals on, but he's the only reason it was that close," Brueggemannsaid. CBC's first goal was scored at 8:55 by captain Kevin Laskowski, who grew up in Czechoslovakiaand played hockey there. Western came back to life in the second period out-shooting CBC 6-2 in thefirst five minutes of the period. CBC struck again at 16:57, demonstrating sharp passing abilities thatwere right where they needed to be. "Obviously you could tell they practice three times a week,"Brueggemann said. "The only time we all play together as a team is at our games here. Other than that,we all play on different teams. And it's not the same, you get used to a way of playing." "Every time they passed the puck there was someone there. "When we have the puck, we have to look around andFront/Jesse Western's Sean Cassidy shoots during Friday's loss. Nolte find out where our wing is," hecontinued. "We don't know when you're going to zig and when you're going to zag. We just kind of haveto fly by the seat of our pants." Western's Sean Cassidy tallied first for the Vikings, beating the goalie onthe glove side. Western was able to set up the play in front of the crease and put the puck into the net tomake it a 2-1 game at 13:06 of the second. Cassidy was assisted by Brueggemann and Carlson. This iswhere the game started getting away from the Vikings. CBC scored twice before the resurfacing break.Then CBC got called for interference and still scored a short-handed goal to make it 5-1. In a briefcomeback attempt, Western's Paul Good scored on the power play at 7:01. Good was parked in front ofthe net and fired the centering pass in, beating the goalie and bringing the Vikings as close as they would get, trailing by three. Brueggemann and Cassidy assisted. CBC scored less than 30 seconds later, with a top-shelf slap-shot, beating Carlson on his glove side. Five minutes later, with just 1:56 to go in thesecond period and despite being shorthanded because of a roughing penalty, CBC slid the puck pastCarlson to take the score to 7-2. "They (CBC) play their positions so well it makes you look bad,"Brueggemann said. "You challenge someone and (end up) leaving someone else open." Western scoredits third goal of the night with 10:58 to go in the final period. Ronnie "Rocket" Mullin buried it in the backof the net when the goalie couldn't get his glove up on time after committing to his-stick side. AfterCBC racked up its ninth goal of the evening, Mullin finished off Western's scoring, latching on to a cross-pass in front of the net and making the score CBC wrapped up the scoring in the final minutes with arebound goal to close out the period. Western was missing several players, including Dave Warner with a leg injury and Paul Hough, who was out because of back problems. Next weekend Western will travel toEugene, Ore. to play the Ducks. The next home game will be at 10 p.m. Feb. 16 against WashingtonState University at the Whatcom County Sports Arena. "That will be a huge, huge game," Brueggemannsaid of the WSUgame. "Our former captain from last year is going there for graduate school, so there isquite a rivalry with these guys. "We're looking for a fun game and will match up a little better (thanagaingst CBC)." llliBlllllSiilBpliilli ^||^||p||Jl|g|J|||J|^i|||| ^^^^^BBSB^B llBHBif^lHii^iiiliilillllBi ||j^^B|l|B|||j](^|li|ii||iiiiil3lliiBllii^iiliiBli tiil^HlMiHHBBMlftHii TUDOR INN ENTERTAINMENT PLAZA TUDOR INN PUB SPORTS BAR Female Exotic Dancers Monday - Saturday â€¢ Noon to 7:00 p.m. â€” Ye OldeSmugglerz Cabaret Tuesdays: It's Party Night!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Violinist Swil Kanim .will perform at 8 p.m. Thursday. Admission is free for showsat Stuart's. Another coffee shop with great entertainment is the 1930s and '40s swing-styleRenaissance Cafe. With its staff decked out in swing gear, the Renaissance Cafe, located at 1414Cornwall Ave., offers everything from lattes and ham croissants to a 750 square foot dance floor filledwith local swing dancers. Avellino, located at 1329 Railroad Ave., has uniqueness to its coffee shop.Inside the 5-year-old, Italian-themed shop, a white cloud mural decorates the ceiling, jazz plays faintly inthe background and the smell of freshly-baked goods lingers in the air. Known for their organic baking, Avellino offers an Italian-like torte, Timballo, filled with pasta and topped with organic vegetables. "Webake everything with organic ingredients," co-owner Chris Vacca said. "Our ingredients are what sets usapart from all the rest." Selling their own Italian pasta and coffee beans, Avellino stirs its coffee with a1977 manual-style machine that tends to make espresso shots stronger than modern espressomachines. Vacca said Avellino is known for its signature coffee drink, Cafe Rolo, a blend of mocha,homemade caramel and real chocolate chunks. Joshua Porter/The Western Front Stuart's customerscan sit outside sipping their favorite cup of Java on a sunny day, or pick a book from the shelves and sinkinto a couch for a relaxing afternoon.

"We try to highlight our literary and Northwest sections as well," said Krista Hunter, lead book buyer. Connected to Village Books for 14 years is The ColophonCafe, which offers full-service dining downstairs and a deli upstairs. Village Books has book reads onoccasional nights. "Reads give the authors a chance to speak about their books and what theirinspirations are," salesperson Nicole Couture said. The reads take place downstairs in the ReadingsGallery of Village Books and are usually free. The next read features Tony Hiss discussing his book,"The View from Alger's Window," tonight at 7:30. Henderson Books, located at 116 Grand Ave. has been providing locals with general used and new books since 1962. When walking into the 7,000 square footbookstore, a mural on the entrance â€¢ wall and a maze of approximately 200,000 used books ranging in subject from gay and lesbian studies to foreign languages capture the eye.

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

The Ku Klux Klan has long used this argument in its fight for theability to proclaim its message of white supremacy. This argument extends to the organization'sAustralian branches. Peter Coleman, a strong advocate for unconditional free speech, is the founderof the Australian KKK. His beliefs coincide with the KKrvs declaration that other races are inferior towhites. In both the United States and Australia, the organization's right to preach these beliefs isstrongly opposed. The questionable aspect of these proclamations, however, is not whether theopinions of the organization are right but whether they have the right to make them. Barry Black, head of the Imperial Klans of America, said this about the group's presence in Australia: "We are hoping towake people up and make people realize you can still live in Australia as a free person without thegovernment standing over your shoulder." He believes the right to free speech includes the preaching ofracism. He is correct. No matter how horrid or incorrect racist beliefs may be, 'No matter how horrid orincorrect racist beliefs may be, racists, whether in Australia or the United States, have the right tospeak them.' racists, whether in Australia or the United States, have the right to speak them. Allowingpeople the freedom to believe what they choose is essential to a democratic system. Freedom in ademocratic country allows people to choose their beliefs and moral values. To make exemptions for one belief might give the government the right to define everyone else's moral values based on popularopinion. Two hundred years ago, popular opinion in the southern United States was AfricanAmericans were meant only to be the underlings of white European males. Less than 100 years ago,popular opinion was women were not intelligent enough to vote. Today, one popular belief ishomosexuals should not legally marry. Popular opinion has changed and will continue to changebecause people have been given the right to speak out against beliefs they feel are unfair. We are giventhe right to argue against beliefs of the KKK just as members are given the right to preach it, and we are given the right to choose which side is correct. The ability of KKK members to speak only givesantagonists stronger arguments against their message. The truth proves many of their arguments weakand unsubstantiated, and, with the freedom to speak them, racist ideologies can be overcome.

Fifteenminutes later, paramedics wheeled the unmasked body of Owen Hart from the arena to a traumamedical center where he was. pronounced dead on arrival. As the crowd of 18,224 people watched,many suspected a dummy had fallen as part of a World Wrestling Federation publicity stunt staged forthe event. It wasn't a dummy, and many parents will have to explain to their children why their herodidn't get back up. When these kids are older, they won't just question Hart's death â€” they willquestion why the event continued after a man died for their entertainment. The crowd watched for 15minutes after Hart's fall. Fifteen minutes was all the career of the youngest son of the wrestling Hartfamily was worth to the corporate executive who made the decision to continue. ; "It's what Owenwould.have wanted," is the excuse the WWF headquarters provided as to 'The corporate wrestlingmachine, in order to boost its ratings, has responded by churning out fodder for the fans' gluttonousneed for bigger and brighter entertainment.' why they continued the multi-million dollar event. Sure, Hartwould have wanted wrestling to go on without him â€” he loved the sport â€” but did it have to go onthat night? Wrestling is a sport. It ought to be considered as dangerous as extreme sports like BASEjumping â€” skydiving from buildings and other earth-bound structures â€” since the business and thefans have pushed wrestlers into becoming stunt people. Yes, wrestling is scripted, which makeswrestlers actors as well as athletes. After all, even Jackie Chan, renowned for doing his own stunts,wasn't allowed to climb around in the rafters for his work in the movie "Rush Hour," so why was Hart,with less training, allowed to do it? Because fans aren't satisfied with a wrestling event anymore unlessmore than 20 weapons are used, the pyrotechnics are grander and the moves are more dangerous thanever before. The corporate wrestling machine, in order to boost its ratings, has responded by churningout fodder for the fans' gluttonous need for bigger and brighter entertainment. In a macabre display, theWWF went as far as to violate the expressed wishes of widow Martha Hart not to film Hart's funeral andits attendants in order to gain ratings points. The wrestling world needs to be held accountable for itsimmoral behavior, and the fans should support the Hart family in its wrongful death suit against theWWF. It is time for wrestlers to leave the rafters, get back to the mat and return some dignity to aonce-proud sport. Less guns mean less death: stricter gun control essential for public safety J.R. Cook COMMENTARY Long live b u r e a u c r a t i c gridlock. lt; -La w-makers -^-in-- Washington,- D.C.,voted down a measure that would enact tougher gun control laws. This move shows a complete lack of concern for the safety of their constituents and is going to do nothing but cause the death rate inAmerica to increase. The need for stronger gun control is obvious. Look at the high school shootingsoccurring so frequently. The violence and death that surround guns has touched nearly everyAmerican. The cost of having guns far out- ^^^^^^^ weigh the benefits. l i i S f t l l i i l il Then again,that's for those who value human life. this nation faced a real threat. Granted, the availability of guns did help us win our independence', but that line of reasoning is outdated. The threat of another countryinvading our shores is not real, and we now have a military to protect us. Back then, the averageAmerican male was in the ^military"."- * ~"*; ^ -â€¢'"-^-^:â€¢'â€¢ The Second Amendment made itpossible for people to form militias and protect themselves from invading foreign armies. The United,States now has one of the strongest militaries in the world, so the necessity for the average Joe or Janeto possess a gun is non-existent. Other gun advocates cite their right as Americans to own guns.Certain inalienable rights exist, but owning a gun is not one of them.. Many democratic countries inthe ered a right of Americans but was proven wrong. Today, the constitution should be amended formany reasons. The government needs to realize its mistakes with gun.control and figure out a way toremedy the situation, by strengthening laws or revising the Second i ^ ^ i ^ ^ ^ ^ i ^ ^ p ^ ^ SBAmendment: - ^Jmmmmmmmmmmmgm Another sen- 'Since when is anyone timent of gun ^ ^ j ^ mbreaking the advocates is: J Â° "If people law or doing something would just wrong, when no laws are ,in place to make them respect r . .-â€¢ \-=â€¢ deserve want to dothe right there thing \ world 'Manydemocratic countries in the world ban Outlawing guns guns, and their citizens are would be the bestdoing j u s t fine/ remedy, but that .?J J will never happen. . Most gun advocates use. the SecondAmendment to support their view. They argue guns are necessary for protection. That amendment wascreated when ban guns, and these citizens are doing just fine. Some notions of inalienable rightswere wrong to begin with or have become antiquated. The right to own a gun has become antiquated. Slaveholding is an example of something that was once consid-treat guns with the they than wouldn'tbe any problems." Guns don't know respect. A gun doesn't care if it is being pointed at an innocentperson, a criminal or a child. A gun is there to do one thing: kill. A person sitting on death row formurder. gets ho respect from anyone because they killed someone. Why should this instrument,designed expressly for that purpose, be held in such high regard? Seems rather contradictory, doesn't it? Recently, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation aired a story about a shootout British Columbiapolice had with a suspect. It was national news because it was the first time in five years that policehad fired shots at a suspect. In the United States, shoot-outs get local coverage if any at all, becausegun-related violence is commonplace. Canada outlawed guns and this is the result: Shoot-outs are notan everyday occurrence in Canada, and the country is a safer place to be because of it. As it standsright now, gun-related violence is on the rise. Relaxing gun control laws is not going to remedy thesituation. Since when is anyone deterred from breaking the law or doing something wrong when no lawsare in place to make them want to do the right thing? Guns aren't a necessary part of American lifeanymore. With better regulation, the threat of someone committing violent acts with guns will beconsiderably decreased. With fewer guns on the street, people will not only be safer, but the need forguns as protection will decrease. That's what this whole thing boils down to â€” safety. From LETTERS, page 6 First of all, consider the Civic Field Park and Ride. Yes, Ron, we already have a park-and-rideâ€” where Western students, faculty and staff can park in Civic Field lots and ride the bus to Western inorder to, avoid parking hassles on campus and save money by not having to buy a campus parkingpermit. Also, within a limited neighborhood around Western, anyone flashing a Western ID card can ride a bus for free to campus. The Western community can also take advantage of a WhatcomTransportation Authority bus pass, which is only $15 per month. Many students living within a closedistance of campus also walk or ride their bikes to campus. As you see, Ron, there are many optionsfor transportation to Western. It is not the school's fault if ignorant people like you refuse to find outabout them.

The camp, which started Sunday and will run through Thursday, is hosted by Western footballcoaches and players. "This camp really gives us a chance to identify kids who have potential,evaluate prospects at our campus and show them Western and what it's all about," Football Coach RobSmith said. This year's camp had to be split into two 5-day sessions this year because of thetremendous turnout this year. Smith said he has seen the camp grow from 65 players in 1990 to morethan 900 this year. "Well, we run a good camp and when you do that, we get known by word of mouth,"he said. "Then, we decided to change the focus of the camp from being individual- oriented to beingteam-oriented. Naturally, more people come that way." Shorewood High School Coach and formerWestern football player Tom Bainter has brought his team here for the past three years. ^'c:':.v;. :.^_. ^-.. : "I went to Western and know a lot of the staff here and so it's kind of natural that we go here,"Bainter said. "We're up here and we get to build that team unity and camaraderie. It's an awesomeexperience." This was also the third year South Whidbey High School linebacker Clark Nortonattended the camp. "We scrimmage a lot; it's the best part of the camp," Norton said. 'This, it's cool tohang out with everyone on the team." The football camp has seen many state championship teams andnationally recognized players pass through. Juanita High School, Lake Washington High School andAuburn High School's football teams, annual state football powerhouses, attend the camp on a yearlybasis. Travis Claridge, a former Shorewood football player who went through the camp in 1995, went onto become the number-one linebacker in the nation. He is now in his third year at University ofSouthern California. Besides teaching high school students more about the game of football, Westernfootball players have also learned about themselves through this camp. "It's really heat that theplayers get a chance to be counselors and get to interact with the kids," Western senior linebackerand co-captain Ryan Ryden said. 'Tou really are a role model and the kids really look up to you. It's abig deal." "As a player who is represented, you realize how much power you have," added sophomore wide-receiver Sean Marshall. 'They want to emulate everything that you do. If you positivelyreinforce them, you can really help them." "I get a chance to be coaching something that I aspire to do," junior quarterback R.J. Del Mese said. "First off, it's good experience for me, and second, I get toteach the stuff I have learned. It's about as good a summer job as I can think off." Matt Anderson/TheWestern Front A Federal Way player blocks an opponent in a defense drill. Athletes go the distance atLake Padden Triathlon Courtesy of Jimmy Healey After a half-mile swim, Jimmy Healey pumps away inSaturday's Lake Padden Triathlon. High attendance at this year's event * made for good competition â€”104 people competed and 128 people participated just for fun. By Angela Smith THE WESTERNFRONT Athletes paid no mind to the dreary Bellingham weather Saturday morning as they jumped intoLake Padden's cold water for the sixth-annual Lake Padden Triathlon. "I was only one of two people who wore Speedos instead of a wet suit, and it was cold," Western student Jimmy Healey said. "I did thebackstroke for the whole half-mile," he said. "I got out of the water and I felt pretty miserable." Thecompetitive portion of the event started at 8:30 a.m. as 104 people began the triathlon with a half-mileswim, followed by a 21-mile bike ride and 5.3-mile foot race. Recreation Manager Dick Henri said thiswas the first year the event was split into competition and recreation divisions. The recreation divisionâ€” a quarter-mile swim, 10-mile bike ride and 2.6-mile run â€” began at 1 p.m. with 128 participants. "Itwent really well, there was large group of people despite the weather," Henri said. Henri said almost 15percent of the athletes had never competed in a triathlon before.. Healey, one of the first-timers,placed first in of division of men age 19 to 20. Healey, 20, was one of the youngest competitors at theevent, which was sponsored by the Bellingham Parks and Recreation Department. Jeremiah Mushenplaced first in the men's competitive division with a time of 1:37:13. Gord Addison placed second with1:42:46, followed by Darcie Montgomery at 1:48:28.

A letter from the State AttorneyGeneral, Don Eastvold, informed the BOC that the ASB cannot require a 100% participation in a groupinsurance plan. Discussion of an optional insurance plan followed and a decision to table the itemwas passed. Doug Kazen moved that the open position for BOC be for the" remainder of winterquarter. The motion was seconded and passed. Carolyn Crook and Mike O'Sammon were appointedby Howe to investigate the possibilities of showing movies once a week in the college auditorium. An amendment to the ASB bylaws concerning disciplinary action ot BOC student members who areabsent three meetings without being excused was passed.

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

Through donations and other fund raising campaigns, the foundation can promise that- the gamma globulin output for 1954 will be double that oflast year. The success of gamma globulin is shown in its effectiveness in combating polio in over twentyhard hit areas "Join The MARCH DIMES January 2 to 31 from Alaska to the Florida Keys. As this year ends, 66,000 polio patients are still receiving March of Dimes aid. The National Foundation is pledged to help them in the fight. Steps are being taken to make polio a disease of the past. Winter QuarterRegistrations Over 1200 Student registration passed the 1200 mark last Thursday, January 7,announced Donald Ferris, WWC registrar. The large winter enrollment was helped by nearly 80 enteringstudents. More than 50 former students returned for Winter term classes. Winter quarter enrollment was-only 1,101 last year, 1953. Total registration is expected to reach 1,240 by January 18. Theslight drop in registration as compared to the Fall quarter is normal, declared Ferris, and is due largely to graduation a n d other causes. Heart Disease Is Often Curable "Resolved, that I will be guided by facts about heart disease, rather than fears and' phobias," is the Washington State Heart associations New Years resolution for every citizen. "Nothing can be done about heart disease," is one of the mostcommon misconceptions about disease of the heart. This is contrary to fact says the association. Some forms of heart disease can be prevented, some cured, and almost all cases can be helped. Theassociation is directing attention to these fallacies as a prelude to the February Heart Fundcampaign. Another untrue fact is that most heart attacks are fatal. Many patients can still earn their living, often without changing jobs. This fact disproves the widely spread theory that you can't work ifyou have heart disease. "Although the association does not minimize the seriousness of heart disease,the outlook warrants hope and optimism," said Dr. Clement I. K'rantz, Seattle, president. "One chiefhope is that research, supported by the Heart Fund will control this disease." Noted Historian And Critic, Bernard De Voto, To Appear Bernard De Voto, distinguished literary historian and critic, will appearon the Artist and Lecture program on Tuesday, January 11, at 10 a. m. Mr. De Voto has masteredalmost all the literary ropes, Pulitzer prize winning historian, esayist, novelist, literary critic, creator oflight fiction and teacher of literature. His prodigious writings have brought Mr. De Voto a wide andBERNARD DE VOTO varied audience, segments of which often do not realize how broad is the scope of his literary output. He has written light fiction (under the son will' show a picture on China, pen name ofJohn August) and serious novels, important books on American literature, and social history,biographical and - critical studies and a great variety of mis-celaneous pieces that have appeared inperiodicals ranging from t h e journals of learned societies to humor magazines. { ;' Mr. De Voto hasbuilt up a iarge and faithful following for his monthly commentary on the American scene and character in the pages of Harper's magazine, probably the oldest continuous column of social comment in thecountry, "The Easy Chair," has appeared for over 100 years and Mr. De Voto is the fifth person toconduct it, following in the footsteps of such famous literary lights as William Dean Howell and George William Curtis.' Born in Utah, Mr. De Voto's books reflect his Western birth. He has published a trilogyon the growth of the West, "The Course of Empire," which won the National Book award, "The Year ofDecision: 1846" and "Across the Wide Missouri" winner of the 1948 Pulitzer prize for history. Mr. DeVoto is now working on still another historical work, an edition of the Lewis and Clark journals. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 January 15 - Page 2 ---------- Students Needed: BOC Position Open Four persons have applied for the open position on the Board ofControl. This seems to be a healthy sign for the beginning of a quarter-as important as is this one instudent government elections. In a little more than two weeks filing will begin for Western?? two higheststudent government offices, as well as for two BOC positions. Top executives in any organization mustbe chosen with care. For this reason, students should be presented with a sufficiently, large choice ofcandidates to enable them to choose wisely. Too many times students refrain from filing for a positionfrom a sense of modesty. If students want able leaders, it is up to them to convince capable personsthat they should file. A college should have no shortage of capable student leaders; a shortage of nameson a ballot points up only disinterest of the students as a whole. Western's Associated Student Bodyhas an astouding amount of self-government when compared with many other colleges; Western isgrowing every year. Therefore Western's students must take care that their officers are among themost capable students on campus. BOC Commended on Literary Decision ANOTHER STEP ON THEROAD TO PROGRESS! After ASB President Henry Howe started the 1953 Fall quarter by appointing astudent publicity director, the Board of Control wound up the quarter in the same spirit of progress byacquiring another phase of student publications: The Writer. The acceptance of The Writer into the fold ofstudent supported activities marks the culmination of a great deal of work by the Winter quarter editor,Mike O'Sammon. However, since The Writer is presently on a trial basis, Editor O'Sammon and his staffhave a tough job ahead of them, in putting out the first printed copy of the magazine, of sufficient quality to assure the Board of Control that creative writing is a worthwhile student activity.
