VANCOUVER, B. C.(Special) Prices are going up and students at the University of British Columbia don't like it at all. The student body of 16,000 at the campus will be asked to withold their second term fees as a protestagainst a recent hike in fees. Byron Hender, president of the Alma Mater Society, the same asWestern's Associated Students, said 40 student leaders decided on the protest after meeting with theUniversity Board of Governors Aug. 11. "The fee increase will cause many students to make afinancial rather than an academic decision," he said. Basic fees were boosted $56 in May to $428." The Society has not decided how students will be advised to withhold their fees. They pay the first halfof their fees when they register in September and the second half in January. Hender said the Board ofGovernors was given a brief showing that only 27.9 percent of male students and 2.8 percent offemale students earned enough money to fnance their university work. Acting University President Dr.John McCrear said fees could be lowered only if the federal or provincial governments increaseuniversity grants. Last Spring at Western and other state institutions tuition and fees were boosted $8 aquarter. Several students signed peti-tins and letters to state legislators protesting the increase, but to no avail. No further action was taken by the student body to protest the matter.

The Board ofTrustees appointed Dr. Charles Flora of the Biology Department academic dean and Dr?" RalphThompson, a 15-year "veteran" at Western, Chairman of the Education Department. Both appointmentsbecame effective Sept. 1. RALPH THOMPSON This will be Flora's first administrative post. Springquarter he was on a leave of absence to develop a biology curriculum, at Sri Venkayeswara University in Southeast India. A specialist in marine biology, he took post-graduate work in limnology, the study offresh water, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Flora was instrumental in theestablishment of the Institute For Fresh Water Studies at Western. He and colleague Dr. Gerald Krafthad been conducting a study of Lake Whatcom for the past three years, which led to the establishmentof the Institute. Thompson acted as an interim head of the Education Department prior to theappointment CHARLES FLORA of Dr. Vernon Haubrich last year. Now he is replacing Haubrich, whohas taken a post at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. Thompson received hiseducation at Dickonson College, University of Delaware and the University of Florida. Flora holdsdegrees from Purdue University and the University of Florida. a 20-year old sophomore. Miss Andersen,a whiz at the literature questions, is probably best remembered for her muttered, "Oh, damn!" as thecamera zoomed in for a close-up during a crucial bonus answer. MONEY, MONEY The team broughthome $3500 worth of scholarships for their three.weeks on the show: $1500 for each of their wins, and$500 as a consolation for their loss. Western has been staging its lown "College Bowl" the past twoyears with teams competing locally against one another and against other colleges in the state. Thelocal intra-mural competition is held winter term and virtually any four-person team can enter. The main qualification is that they don't mind looking stupid in front of their friends. Okay, Friosh, get in line.Drummond holds Local CCU N post A Western student, Clark Drummond, was elected NorthwestRegional Director of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations in June. The election took placeduring a Leadership Institute for the United Nations at Sarah Law-erc- nce College in Bronxville, N. Y.As the Regional kingpin, Drum-mond, a graduate working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Educationdegree, will direct all CCUN activities in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. The CCUN"supports and promotes the work of the United Nations and awareness of international affairs,"according to Drummond. There are 300 affiliates in colleges and universities throughout the UnitedStates. "Western is highly respected in CCUN for the work Dave Tre-main, former regional director fromthis school, has done," Drummond remarked. Drummond said there are about 20 members of the clubon campus and he is looking for more support. The CCUN offers many programs, he said. Westernwill have representatives at the model UN at Stanford University in California next spring. "We'llrepresent some country," Drummond said, "but I'm not sure which one yet." Drummond is planning what he claims is one of the first "topical conferences on Asian Affairs" on the West Coast. The conferencewould take place at Western next spring and involve "name speakers" from San Francisco and NewYork, Drummond added. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 1B ---------- FRIDAY, SEPT. 17 THE COLLEGIAN ONE-B "GEE, DAD, THAT'S SOMETHING" young Richard Bunkeappears to be saying, as he examines President Bunke's medallion after the inauguration ceremony inFebruary.

Nearly 250 representativesfrom colleges and universities throughout the nation gathered in the brisk winter air of Western tohonor the new president and march with him in procession through the campus. . Dr. Bunke,,a 42-year-old economist, came to Western January 21. The inauguration gave Dr. Bunke a platform toannounce his plans for the college, and it also provided a symposium on the "Economy of the PacificNorthwest," attended by most of the educators present. "Education must indoctrinate as it liberates;it must change men, make them more human, more dependable, more interesting, more stable, and,if you like, more aristocratic and more egalitarian," President Bunke explained. .

He also has served as consultant to the Iowa Commerce Commission and to theGreat Northern Railroad. The new president is the author of numerous articles and two books. In hisearly writing, he dealt primarily with transportation, both intrastate and interstate. As his approach to economics widened, President Bunke concentrated on conflicting values in modern life.

With this, the initial issue of the Northwest Viking for fall quarter; we wish toextend to all entering freshmen and transfer students a great, big, Ser home-coated WELCOME . . . 'We are very proud of our school. The impressions that it has made on us are, and will be, lasting ones.The unique setting of the school, beneath t h e shadow of Sehome, its picturesque campus, the groveof trees bordering the front walk; between the Library and Edens Hall, and many other things have gonetogether to bring this school very close to home for us. You will make friends, enter into activities, andgradually enter into the for the freshmen Life at Western can be fun. We hope you'll discover this whenthe chaos and confusion of registration wears off and you realize that you are no longer in high school,but in college, and to some extent, on your own. We come to college to study (it says here) but theleisure hours can be filled with more productive activities than merely beering time away at the local tav. Clubs and committees at Western abound. For instance, there's the Chess Club or the HomecomingCommittee. The latter can always use helpers and is especially gearing its theme this year for freshmenand transfer students, according to the committee chairman, fall and football It has been said thatthere are two ivays to watch a football game. You can either 1.) study the intricacies of play patterns,game strategy, and use of such devices as platoon systems, sub* stitution, etc., or 2,) watch twenty-two guys having a grand time beating each other to a plup. \ We prefer the second, but that really doesn'tmatter. There's something about a college football game that makes it unnecessary for a person to needa reason for attending. ; This is the time of year for the usual torrents of passionate pleas to get out and support your team. People get all excited for no reason at all thinking, that we aren't going to takeadvantage of something that's as American as- Pizza parlors or tennis shoes. swing and tendencies ofthe Ifoxma-I school.

Is it getting lost in the crowd on a crisp fall afternoon, inching your way to a high perch in the stands with vapor pouring from your mouth? Is it the blustering band music, blown through cold brass horns by huddling musicians? Is it a roar of voices, a few moments of excitement, asincere hope that the guy being carried off the field didn't break too many bones?

' Good luck this year;Viksf year of the escalation For Western students* 1965 may go down in history as the year of theescalation. Everything, most of it bad, went up, upv up gt; The tuition fees were one of the first things tcr rise.

However,, they retained their equilibrium and didn't threaten towithhold their fees as the University of British: Columbia Alma Mater Society (equivalent to the A.S.Legislature) i s asking its students to do: Then matters got worse; The price of cigarettes in Washingtonwas raised (oh, horrors!)' Wallets really began jj;p get thin and many students were thinking, of notreturning in the fall. President Johnson helped them make their decision by escalating the war in VieUNam and^ uppihg the draff quota. Students resolved to return to- school by hook or crook* But finallythrough the clouds ap? peared a light. Western's Board of; Trustees at last raised the student pay ratefrom a paltry $llper hour to a gt; more sensible $1.25. The raise has been needed for some time andnow that it has come w e a re only too gratefuit Thank you, gentlemen. The raise will enable somestudents to return to school, students who otherwise could not have afforded another year incollege. But, tew (Md you know i was a fresh man ? ., Ito you; titer Glass of 1969, I extend greetings and felicitations from Western Washington State- Colleger. Beginning today this is your college, and of this-moment it is pledged to serve you with all its powers^ and- resources. In return; it asks only one thing:that yotr as- att individual develop- and fulfill your full potential. â‚¬)n the surf ace, this may soundsimpleâ€”1 assure you it is not. Indeed; it may well fee the most demanding test of your young life. IShould: yoÂ» pass- it; witfr honesty and merit; however, your life will forevermore he richer afid moremeaningful. As-a student at Western; you; would do well to countf your blessings. You arefew amongmany. Today, throughout this-great land young men, and women sorrow because they were rejected bythe college or colleges of their choice. Not only has full collegiate citizenship been conferred upon you,but it has been freely granted by an institution of integrity and standing. If for no other reason, Western isunique for its singular beauty. Nowhere in the world is there a college which surpasses the majesty ofsetting that favors your college. Set between mountain and sea, combining the power of naturalgrandeur and human creativity, Western's 135 acres and 27 buildings will for the next four years beyour physical, social, and intellectual home. You would do well to explore it, to become familiar with itsmany parts and dimensions, to appreciate its beauty, its strengths. WIN AN EDUCATION But you werenot attracted primarily by Western's beauty, although you should be grateful for it. Your principal objective is to win an education, with all that that word implies. Beyond that, I hope that you chose Westernbecause after talking with your teachers, your friends, and other college students, and after carefulconsideration, you began to understand the rich opportunity that Western offers through a superiorundergraduate program. Ultimately, any course major or curriculum can be no better than the facultywhich gives it life. Here at Western you will have an opportunity to work with many able professorsrepresenting different disciplines and presenting differing and sometimes contradictory views oneverything from taxonomic methodology to the nature of the universe. Your instructors will range from thevery young to the experienced veteran, from those who would charge you with flaming idealism tothose who would temper your vision with wisdom. During your stay, each of your instructors will havesomething to contribute, but from each will come something different. Do not look for the same from all.Some of your instructors reach their finest moment before a class of one thousand; others make theircontribution through a day-by-day, tough, Socratic discussion method; while still others sparkle andinspire only in the stark atmosphere of a smaUi laboratory when- the discussion is centered on someesoteric subject qflife beyond the befief or comprehension of ordinary mortals. Despite the excellence of.staff, do not be surprised that everything! you are taught is neither eternal, nor relevant nor eveninteresting. When T was eMfe young, I resented with all my heart and-soul the rote learning of themultiplication tables.

KNOWLEDGE â€” A WAY OF LIFEBut do not be misledâ€”do not believe that because the faculty is excellent and the programs are welldefined and clear, all you need do is attend class and, like new wine bottles, sit quietly until you are filled with a magical and intoxicating brew called knowledge. If that is your approach, I fear you will be gravelydisappointed here in your new home. For Western, as all esteemed institutions of higher learning,believes that more important than knowledge itself is the teaching of a mood,, of an approach-indeed, away of life. Above all the facts and figures, dates and places, dimensions and concepts, you should learnthat without self discipline, without a commitment to excellence, without the inner strength necessary fordedicated effort, there is no greatness in this world. You must learn the virtue x gt;f patience and tireless work and that repeated failure is the soil which nourishes sweet triumph. Those of you who would reachyour fuE potential, those who would develop the knowledge and skill and those of you possessed of thedesire to createâ€”in short, those of you who would be more than ordinaryâ€”must be extraordinary inmotivation and self-discipline. It is this commitment to the extraordinary that Western encourages and,from a willing few, demands. ' The high standards and the excellence of Western has not gone unnoticed; many of you come from sister states and beyondâ€” from foreign lands. With the reputation that comesfrom success, there also inevitably follows change. Ten years ago Western was a small school of1,700 students and a faculty of little more than 100. In those days, the students, after four years, prettywell knew most of the professors as well as virtually all of their fellow students who traveled the routefrom freshman to the graduation platform. All of this made for a sense of personal intimacy, andinstitutional loyalty. Today, supplementing these personal relationships is a new spirit of freedom as theaverage student is expected to be more self-reliant in finding his own way, for solving his own problems,for determining his own place in the rich, multi-faceted college community. Yet, do not be deceived intothinking that the college is unconcerned about your welfare as a separate and unique human being with distinct aspirations and needs of your own. Western's emphasis, as in the past, continues to be theindividual student. Our methods of advising, our emphasis on good teaching, our commitment to high-level counseling, and, finally, the architecture as well as the planning of the campus itself, reflects acollege belief in the need for making each student feel a part of the full academic community. Such,then, are the faces of Western. As a whole, they offer opportunity at the same that they demand that youperform as civilized young men and women who are as jealous of their own rights as they are respectfulof the rights of others. I wish each and every one of you the very best for a most successful and fruitfulyear. New medallion appears Around Presidents neck Persons a t t e n d i n g t h e i n a u g u r a t i o nof Dr. Harvey C. B u n k e as s e v e n t h p r e s i d e n t of Western last F e b r u a r y, s aw hangingfrom his neck a shining silver and gold medallion b e a r i n g a small f i g u r e and inscription. Themedallion was introduced for the first time at Dr. Bunke's inauguration as a symbol of the presidency. Itwas conferred upon him by Joseph Pemberton, chairman of the Board of Trustees, during theceremony. The medallion is cast in sterling with a gold flame in the center and the name of the college is engraved around the flame. The date of the founding of the college, 1893, appears across the bottom. Names of former presidents are inscribed on the reverse side. GOLD FLAME The gold flame at the center is emblamatic ,of the torch of learning, and combines the intellectual and spiritual qualities ofillumination, enlightenment and inspiration. Designed by Frederick Walsh of Seattle, the medallionis a bas-relief of the new seal of Western which appears in this issue of The. Collegian and is beingintroduced in other college publications. MACE Also used in the inaugural .ceremony was a large rosewood and silver mace, a gift to the college of the class of 1964. It was used only once previouslyâ€” during commencement last June. Designed by Norman Warinske; of Seattle, the mace issurmounted with a silver casting of a Vi-. king ship, emblamatic of Western Washington StateCollege. Below the ship on the staff are three circular silver bands, the topmost being engraved andinlaid with blue enamel with the name of the college. The second band bears six medallions, eachengraved with a sealâ€”the Great Seal of the United States, the Seal of the State of Washington, theSeal of the College and three seals representing Humanities, Education and Science. The third bandbears the legend, "The Gift of the Class of 1964." The bottom device is a silver cast flame symbolic of enlightenment. The mace will be used during all ceremonial occasions at the college while use of thepresidential medallion will be restricted to inaugural events. Both symbols are on display in theMabel Zoe Wilson Library.

This page is like a recruitment posterâ€”wewant YOU. We want a large staff of clear-thinking students who have something to say. Students who,like us, don't want to be confined to expression in limited essays for professors. The Collegian has much to offer its staff. The experience gained working on a newspaper, even a college weekly, is invaluable. Newspapers are a part of our everyday lives. By understanding how they click one can more easilyappreciate the role they play in society. BE IN When working for the Collegian you are never "out" ofthings. You are aware of what is going on around the campus, you meet interesting people (threeCollegian staffers interviewed Peter, Paul and Mary last year.) The Collegian gives you a chance toexpress yourself creatively, if you desire to do so, through feature stories. The News Staff class, Eng.211, can be taken for one credit. You can still add a class. Staffers, by diligent work, can earnthemselves a paying position oh^he Editorial Board^ For those in teacher education, the experiencewill be doubly invaluable. There are very few qualified journalism advisors in high schools and apparentlyteachers with newspaper experience are pounced upon by the school boards. There are other fringebenefits too, for instance the Publications Banquet held each Spring quarter. Previous experienceis not a must to write for the Collegian, as we provide "on-the-job training." What is required is awillingness to work. There are openings in all.fields, from general reporting, to sports writing, towomen's news. If you don't want to take the class for credit and still want to write for the paper, this isfine. Headline writers and proof readers are needed for Wednesday evenings. So, come down to The Collegian office, Room 1 in the Viking Union, any afternoon, today for instance, and meet the editors. Ifyou're a clear-thinking student and want to distinguish yourself from the masses, give it a try andenjoy the view from the Collegian window. SUMMER COLLEGIAN STAFF GETS WORKOUT DON-THEFRIENDLY AD MAN Helping prepare this year's 40-page Freshman issue are from left to right, SueFrederickson, Bob Graham, Pam Barber and Mike Williams.

The year has just begun and things should be hopping on The Collegian all quarter. If you want tojoin the happy crowd, come down to the office and we'll put you to work. Don Bothell, Junior from Bothell, Wash, (it was named after his grandfather) is always smiling when he's selling ads for The Collegian.

I hope to erase them and give the students what they deserve: a better than excellentnewspaper." The Associated Student Legislature was kind in giving the Collegian a "very good" budget Williams added, so he said he'll give thenv a paper to be proud of in return. "This is the students'newspaper," the editor emphasized, "my door is always open and I welcome visitors with criticismand comments." ' Williams announced his Edit-rial Board as being: Bob Graham, managing editor;Pat Win-gren, news editor; Jim Pearson, sports editor; and Verh Gies-brecht, feature editor.

Two years ago, editor George Toulouse produced a soft-covered annual with a uniquelydif-, fereht format. Western students didn't like it and displayed their emotions graphically. They held abook-burnfng. The Klipsuns were excellent fuel. Last year the Klipsun returned to a hard-cover under theleadership of Lloyd Strong. However, there was debate over the use of individual student "mugshots."The AS Legislature, it was reported, got very excited about the whole situation. Miss Shoemaker, lastyear's assistant editor, wants none of that. Armed with a $15,000 budget, five thousand more than lastyear, she is determined to put out an excellent annual. Strong and Miiss Shoemaker gave Wdistern agood annual last year and did the work almost without any help from other students. Miss Shoemakerwants a large staff this year. Interested students should get in touch with her in the Klipsun office,Viking Union basement. pardy would be pleased to have a contribution, or several, from you," Benedictsaid. Featuring the work of Western students, Jeopardy consists of short stories, poetry, art andphotographs. For the first time this year, the editors are offering cash prizes to students for the bestcontributions in each category. In addition to Benedict, the new Jeopardy staff includes J. ThurstonHanson as Assistant Editor. Both are juniors majoring in English and both write poetry. Benedict is anHonors student at Western. Jeopardy is an annual publication and is released in the Spring. FREENOW "Last year we published 500 copies and sold out in short order at 50 cents apiece," Benedictsaid. "This year we will publish double that number, and a student needs only to show his ID to receive a copy," he added. Anyone wishing to have their work put in Jeopardy should see either Benedict orHanson in their office in the basement of the VU building! "Jeopardy was good last year and we hope itwill be better this year," Benedict noted. "You can help make it better with your aesthetic contributions." CHARLENE SHOEMAKER is the only female editor of the crowd and she's planning on putting out aspanking good Klipsun this year. Her office also doubles as a fallout shelter, so it has advantages. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 4 ---------- PAGE FOUR THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 Russ # DRIVE Across From Bellingham HighSchool FEATURING 15 BEEFY i Mode With 1i00% Pure Beef " ~~ ~ COUPON" RUSS' ORIGINAL Ifyou know m swingsâ€” where to go!

Here a group of students set out from the campus for Bellingham. Itwas an ill-fated peace march as peace officers, deciding the demonstrators were breaking the peace,arrested 47 students and Bellingham citizens. The charge was violating a city ordinance which stated that the Chief of Police had to be informed of any "parades." Last spring was a popular time for protests atWestern. When the weather was bad the protestors picketed the new juke box in the Viking Union CoffeeShop. iÂ§||j||||||Â§iili ?$?$0Â£i0. NO PERMIT-NO PARADE When these marchers were arrested, thelaw required permission from Bellingham's Chief of Police in order to hold any such demonstration. In a recent meeting of the Bellingham City Council, an ordinance was passed requiring any persons wishingto have a parade through the city to obtain a permit from the Board of Public Works. By MIKEWILLIAMS Collegian Peace Reporter A number of Western students did a lot of marching last year,but they weren't exercising, they, were protesting. Twice, once in February and again in April, the war in Viet Nam came under fire from the pacifists. The first march saw 47 students and local citizensarrested by the Bellingham police for parading without permits. The marchers had formed in front ofthe Viking Union and set off down High Street to Indian Street. Several carried signs of the "Ban theBomb" movement or proclaiming, "Get out of Viet Nam." At Indian and Maple streets Police Chief CecilKlein warned the demonstrators they would be arrested if they proceeded. The undaunted demonstrators pressed on and Klein, not one to go back on Jiis words, arrested them. According to Rev. Lyle Sel-lards, Whatcom County President of the American Civil Liberties Union, the group had the legal right toproceed in a peaceful and orderly manner. The next peace march, in April, was much more peaceful.The orderly group of 200 "angry young men and women" marched quietly through downtownBellingham, again protesting the U. S. position in Viet Nam. v When they reacned the FederalBuilding they held a 20 minute "silent vigil." There was one other peace demonstration in the area, butit only indirectly affected Western students. The "professional" demonstrators came up fromCalifornia to participate in a peace march on Vancouver Island, B. C. After they were refusedadmittance to Canada by Canadian Immigration officals who tagged them as "undesirables," the three resolved to enter Canada illegally at Blaine. PEACE CHORUS Backed up by some Western studentssinging "We Shall Overcome" the trio made their bid. They initially thwarted by the Immigration officals and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Later in the evening, however, one of the three, Eric Robinson, slipped into the night and a Canadian cohort whisked him to Vancouver. So, another year begins.More peace marches? Probably, if the weather's not too bad. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 6 ---------- PAGE SIX THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 SOLONS HARD AT WORK The life of a VikingLegislator is sometimes trying.

A thirty-year Navy man, he re-tired as a Lt. Commander. ; Maconaghie has an impressive background in law which includes positions as prosecutor, lawyer,defense council, and judge for the Navy. During World War II Maconaghie was assigned the task oforganizing a security force. The result of his efforts was a well-organized force that established itself asone of the best. For this work he was honored by an invitation to serve on the New Jersey Board ofIntelligence â€”the only military man so honored. When Mr. Maconaghie retired in 1959 he applied forthe job of Campus Marshall. "Maconaghie stated that he has a great respect for faculty members, forthe high quality of men and women who are students- at "Western, and for their dedication to whatthey are working for." SECURITY PATROL Along with Maconaghie, the campus boasts a security patrol of nine men. â€¢ "These men are all married and of good character," said Maconaghie. There are three shifts a night which check buildings, dormitories, and take care of traffic control. There is also anight marshall who takes care of all the night duties and heads the security patrol. Maconaghie said,"The night marshall is the one seen at any dances or college functions held in the evening." In the lastfive years Maconaghie has been "very satisfied" with his job. His student assistants find gratification in knowing that he is on call at all times, day and night. Some responsibilities of the Marshall are:traffic control, security, violations of any law on campus, and making sure that the security ondormitories is complete. TRAFFIC HEAVY "Now that the college is growing so rapidly," saidMaconaghie, "traffic situation seems to be the most difficult, especially following large dances, ballgames, and auditorium events." Of course the problem is alleviated some by student assistantswho act as "traffic cops" and who are in charge of "external security," directing traffic and keeping awatch over the campus. The most, important security measure according to Maconaghie is that of"internal security" which takes in checking the doors, examining buildings for intruders, andwatching for fires that could break out during the night. These jobs are also handled by the securitypatrol. These patrolmen are all responsible to Maconaghie who in turn is responsible to Dean MacDon-ald. The Marshall is a deputized member of the Bellingham Police Department but he feels that hispolice powers should be exercised carefully. Furthermore, the reputation of the college and the studentsis uppermost in his mind at all times, he said. "Few members of the college community have ever beentaken to court in the county because severe disciplinary action takes place with the campuscommunity," he stated. When asked how many tickets he gives Maconaghie gave a big laugh andsaid, "I give about 5,000 a year." Maconaghie said that he has had 100 per cent cooperation from theentire student body and faculty, and particularly the student body, in resolving traffic and parkingproblems here at the college. "Out of this cooperation has grown an orderly parking pattern that hasbrought favorable comment from the Bellingham Police Department," he added. ~ Binyon Optometrists1328 CORNWALL BINYON / Optometrists Ph. 733-9300 COMPLETE OPTOMETRIC SERVICECONTACT LENSES â€” FASHION FRAMES Dr. Leroy H.

Western's lost l i b r a r y books havebeen found in an old t r u n k in Women's Residence Hall, according to Dr. Howard McGaw, Director of th e Mabel Zoe Wilson Library. These books along with about 20 others were found in an attic during therecent renovation of WRH for the Education Department. "Whether the books were stolen, mislaid orjust lost no one will ever know but the books will be reshelved soon for student use," said McGaw.12.000 NEW BOOKS Along with these 25 books there will be some 12,000 estimated new volumesbeing, put on the shelves this year. The periodicals section of the library will also be enlarged since therecent budget has been raised for this section. The library has been allocated $80,000 for their bookbudget and $20,000 for their subscriptions budget. This is a raise of $20,000 in the-book budget and$6;000 in the subscriptions budget over last years funds," added McGaw. Mrs. Flors Mae Phillips,Prescient of the Washington School Library Association, has been appointed the new educationlibrarian. This position resulted because the curriculum library has been moved into the educationlibrary in the upstairs, west wing. There will also be a self-service copier in the periodicals room where.copies can be made for 10 cents a page. An electric typewriter will also be available for 10 cents for 15minutes or 25 cents for 45 minutes. The typewriters that were in the typing rooms have been removed because of the abuse they received at the hands of students. "Of interest to Freshmen," said Dr.McGaw, "might be the Library Orientation course that is being offered to acquaint students with theWilson Library." "This course will give the students practice in reference book materials, cardcatalogues, and other library functions."

Each tutor assigns the student papers to be discussed at regular weekly meetings. Thestudent may write about his major field of interest or any other topic mutually agreeable with the advisor.He is expected to write papers totaling between 5,000 and 10,000 words per quarter. All Honorsstudents participate in evening meetings of small groups for discussing in depth some vital idea or set ofideas. With the junior year, the Honors student does this extra work in his own department of interest.The student must write a senior thesis before graduating with honors. Much of the student's up-perdivisional work is devoted to this thesis. SELECT FEW Obviously, only a select few may participate in the honors program. There are four ways in which a student can join the Honors Program. A studentwhose scholastic aptitude tests scores place him in the top five per cent of all Western students will be invited to participate in the program. Any Western student with a, year of residence who has earned I for graduate school. a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 or better will be considered for admissionby the Honors Board. A student recommended by a faculty member who believes that the student is agood prospect may join, if the Honors Board is satisfied with his ability. High school seniors of high)ability will be considered by the board through recommendation of a teacher, principal, or other schoolofficial prior to the student's enrollment. Students in the Honors Program are expected to maintaintheir high standard of scholarship in all of their college work? After two quarters in the program thestudent must maintain a 2.9 average in order to remain in the program. What is the end result?Probably, it will mean a student with high ability has not been wasted for lack of challenging workwhile in College. To graduate "With Honors," a student must be recommended by the Honors Board;have completed at least six quarters of honors work; have completed at least 20 credits of Honorscourses; have written a senior thesis.

'I would like toextend my welcome to all the incoming students, along with everyone else," he said, leaning back in hischair in the relaxed atmosphere of his office. The deep, friendly voice belongs to C. W. McDonald,Western's Dean of Men. Those who don't know him personally are usually quick to recognize histowering form when he strolls across campus. To most of the students, he is known as "Dean Mac."Although he is one of the busiest administrators in Old Main, the dean is always ready to give anyone alittle of his time. He makes it clear that the main job of the office of the Dean of Men is "to help studentsadjust to the college and to help them with any of their, personal problems." McDonald's duties do notend here, however. In fact they just begin. MEN'S SUPERVISOR One of his chief responsibilities is that of supervisor of all men students and housing. He tries to see that all the men get a place to live for theyear and that they don't get into too much trouble. He is usually quick on the scene when the boys atHighland start playing with the water balloons, McDonald is also in charge of campus security. Aftermaking their rounds, both the campus police and the night watchmen report to the dean of men's office.Serving as chairman of the Financial Aids committee, and as a member of the Auxiliary Enterprisescommittee, he helps handle such college projects as the planning of new dorms and other smallerfringe problems such as CLYDE MACDONALD campus parking. COLLEGE LIASON Acting as a liasonbetween the city and the college, McDonald serves on the Bellingham City Council and attends meetingsevery Monday night at City Hall. Despite his numerous side duties, Dean McDonald's primary eoncern is the students, and he emphasizes the fact that the first duty of the Dean of Men's office is to giveassistance to anyone who heeds it. - Speaking of the class of 1969, he said, "They have a wonderfulopportunityâ€”we will help them in any way we can, but the main job is to be theirs." "There's an opendoor policy up here," he added, "come in any time." ...and Lorraine Powers opens door The Dean ofWomen's Office is a busy place at the beginning of any quarter and this fall quarter is no exception. Withthe lack of housing, Dean Lorraine Powers is still approving off campus living places for enteringstudents. Their biggest problem is getting towns people to take students as boarders and roomers, shesaid. "The lack of adequate housing will remain a problem for many years to come," said Dean Powers,"but if people can't or won't co-operate then we will always have difficulty in finding adequate housing lor a great many students." The students, through the Dean of Women's Oiffice, have been advised tocontact any relatives, friends, or other ministers in town to try and arrange for accommodations. Thedormitories have been full for some time but there will be some cancellations, which alsio have beentaken. Dean Powers also makes suggestions as to the type of dormitories suited to the womenstudents. DORMS FOR GIRLS The Ridgeway dorms Beta and Gamma have been transferred to girlsdormitories and will have the names Sigma and Omega. The addition of these dorms has created 125new beds but there is a lack of beds for some new 900 freshman women stu- LORRAINE POWERSdents. Dean Powers said, "Even as the building is increasing so are the number of new students and wedon't know when we will ever get caught up in the housing shortage." Along with housing approval DeanPowers helps the AWS and other women's organizations on campus. She helped supervise the writing of the AWS Handbook and other publications. . Dean Powers door is also open to any woman student who feels that she needs help or advice in solving problems connected either with school or her private life. "I consider this is one of the more important jobs of the Dean of Women's Office and I invite any newfreshman women or women students to come and talk to me whenever she feels that she wantssomeone to talk to." welcome back, Western welcome to Wahls Sportswear, dresses, fashionaccessories-plus these departments unique for their selections, specialized services, trained, expertstaff. fine cosmetics, toletries Trained beatuy specialists and top brands like Revlon, Charles of the Ritz, Bonne Bell cosmetics, fine toiletries make our department unique. bras, girdles, lingerie Fitters trainedby leading corsetry schools assure the fit and comfort essential in under-fashions,sleepwear and finelingerie^ hair fashions by Maurice Bellingham's finest salon, newly expanded, airconditjoned,redecorated, gives you the latest hair fashion, expertly done in comfort. knitting yarns, fabrics Acomprehensive selection of fine fashion fabrics, patterns, sewing notions and years, with salespeopleexpert in knitting, sewing. books and stationery Large selection of better paperbacks, books,references, stationery, gifts and greeting cards. charge accounts Inquire at the credit office, on themezzanine. 125 W.

To match the stockings, sweaters, are being revived by the trend-setters. Heavy knits, in all colors and patterns are available to the "in-crowders" who dare to be differentin their gay turtle neck-ribbed pullover and matching stockings.

Smart knee-cappers make the perfect go-between for coordinated sweaters, tops andsocks.

Entering freshmen and returning upperclassmen alike are paying particular attention to the clothesthey purchase for the year ahead on campus. What kind of clothes will "make the scene" on the nation'scampuses this fall? Most trends indicate that this year's campus here will be decked out in, for one thing,V-necked sweatersâ€”both long and short sleevedâ€”which will appear in a variety of textures. Theserange from fine wool knits to bulky orlons, and come in an exciting list of colors, topped by navy blue,wine red, and camel. Cardigan sweaters also rate high on the fashion scene. SHORT SLEEVES^Underneath these manly sweaters are worn short sleeved sport shirts, "the most current favorite beingthe guaranteed-to-bleed madras plaids, a fabric returning again to make a bid for popularity this fall.Other sport shirt fashions point to the button-down collar gt; large checks, stripes, masculine wool shirts in dark stripes or plaids. Above all, the shirts must feature-the trim, fit found in tapered tail models. , .What type of trousers will our style-conscious campus man wear for classes and casual dates? The wordfor pants is still fairly tapered, with belt loops and cuffs making frequent appearances. Levis are still seenfor the less formal occasions; beige jeans are the first color choice, with green and faded blues making for strong bids for second place. Older style "hipsters" are being replaced by higher waistlines, which callfor belts, a sometimes neglected men's wear accessory. This year's belts will be wider, either in leather or stretch, and many madras plaid belts will show on campuses. WING TIP SHOES Shoes for fall featurethe solid wing-tip style for the man in the know this fall. Coming in black, browns and in betweens, thisshoe is solidly "in." The traditional loafer also rates high in the fashion set. Worn with dark socks, itcompletes the "look" for this year's college man. A final word on coats: a big newsflash in fabrics issuede, leather, and corduroy. The sheepskin promises to be a. trendsetter among well-dressed men. *The bear-look, popular also in "look-alike" women's styles, will make some appearanes on fall and wintercampuses, its furry warmth very welcome at nippy football games. Many fall jackets feature hoods thisseason. The look in men's fashion is a carefully planned-out attempt to create well-dressed men. incream or white. Often the lace is repeated at the cuffs or extended for fashion accent around the lines ofthe bodice. And speaking about bodices, the newest and greatest in the dress line is an often seenempire waist, this year rejuvenated by the current "mod" look, for which we owe thanks to our Britishfriends. In fact, much of what's hew can be traced to European influences, from the "mods" ofEngland to the Courrege look, so named for the French originator of the look. A definitely "continental" look is achieved by; the new webbed sweaters, bell-bottom trousers, Beatle - inspired caps, Frenchberets, etc. FUN, FUN, FUN! A fun addition has been made to the wardrobes of many a returningcoed: the fuzzy, bear-looking coats. These fur pile hip-length jackets generally feature a parka-typehood, just perfect for those chilly footbali games and looking so smart with slacks. Madras, the not-so-new "guaranteed- to-bleed" fabric, remains in sight in the form of transitional fall cotton dresses* Italso makes the accessory scene highlighting belts, caps, purses, and scarves. Shoulder bag pursesare solidly "in" this fall, as are leather boots and low-heeled shoes. Speaking*of shoes, the fall imagehas com-, pleted itself with a wide-heeled, bowed, strapped, little girl lobk (cr is it little boy look?) in f6ot apparel.

Keeping a tight rein on Western's big.boys with a busy whistle ishead coach Jim Lounsberry (right). Practices' were held twice every day. "Hell Week'-uh, it hurts ByBRUCE DELBRIDGE Collegian Staff Reporter A kaleidoscope of pain showed on the sweating faces asthe athletes swished toy on the endless journey around the track. They knew the coach would ask for more sweat, more strength and more pain later on, but now they were concerned only with survival;survival of each of the pains of "Hell Week" at Western, the first week of coach Jim Lounsberry's twoweek football training program. Hell week itself is so named because it is one solid week of doubleturnouts, two gruelling practice sessions a day designed to whip the gridiron hopefuls into shape. Bothpractices are usually two hours long and run accordingly: A half hour of rigorous calis-thentics, 15minutes of agility drills (such as forward rolls, sprints, walking on all fours, isometric neck exercisesetc.), a half hour of dummy plays, a half hour of either scrimmage or light contact and then 20 to 30minutes of hard sprints. SAME IN AFTERNOON Approximately the same procedure is followed in theafternoon, but often there is more hard contact work. Sixty-seven gridders showed up at campusSept. 5 and after briefing'by Lounsberry and his new staff they spent their last blissful night in thesack. The next morning they were herded on the field in shorts and started the official "Hell Week"workouts with traditional timing in the 100-yard dash, an obstacle course and the mile. "-â€¢â€¢' In theafternoon the weary Vikings - donned the full gear and, 15 pounds heavier, proceeded to go through afull "Hell Week" workout.

PAIN,PAIN, PAIN Friday two more sessions had dragged painfully by and then Saturday Lounsberry turnedthe troops loose into the customary Saturday scrimmage. There was a look of true amazement onthe faces of the survivors as Lounsberry announced that they would get their day of rest. Sunday wasspent in luxurious sleep or in the affectionate arms of the girl back home. But just for a^day; theplayers were back at 'it' again Monday' morning at 10 a. m. It's not surprising that the exhaustingroutine began to tell on the group right away. Most of the players began to creak at the joints like oldmen. Bodies became bruised and swollen and many boys became so overly fatigued that they found it hard to sleep at night. â€¢_ Many players failed to stand up to the punishment as the week draggedon, and the size of the squad quietly began to diminish. Slowly at first then faster the faces began todisappear and the six original teams slowly became five and then four. No: body blames players forquitting. Everybody on the team would like to quit and take it easy, but the ones who make it through"Hell Week" rarely quit the team. . - "Hell Week" is true Hell, but there is a kind, of satisfaction inmaking it through such an ordeal. The kind of satisfaction that binds teams together, and makes themable to face even greater ordeals on the playing field.

Dr. Feringer was asked to de*- scribe the purpose and selectionprocedures of the Art Film Series on campus. The following is his replyâ€”Ed.) There is good justification for an art film series on campus, as film is becoming more commonly accepted as a serious art formused by competent artists. However, the majority of commercial efforts are no more art than pulpmagazines are literature. The demand in any commercial enterprise is to provide the largest passibleaudience with whatever they will pay for, and this fact must inevitably resolve into appealing to themost common denominator of public taste. While one's taste for fine wines can often be satisfied in amass economy, the effect of mass distribution on films is disastrous. One is at the mercy of one ortwo local entrepreneurs. The function the college can serve is to fill this artistic gap. It therefore seemsentirely apropos to promote film art along with painting, music and literature. PLANNING SERIESPlanning a film series is, of course, not unlike planning a balanced collection of literary works, paintingsor musical recordings. One seeks balance in both subject matter and style. The first winnowing oftitles must be made on the basis of excellence. To carry out this process a meeting is called todiscuss possible titles and assemble an acceptable list. The conversation usually goes something likethis: "Frankly, I like "The Seven Brave Tractor Drivers" directed by Eisenstos." ' 'Well, you have to betrue about these things." "Yes, there was a certain rugged earnestness that I found totally irresistible. Inthe great scene, for instance, when the hero faces the pigsty alone, .the montage is so wonderful due tothe imaginative cutting. This is art in the highest sense." "You are just reading that into it, I thought itwas the worst trash I have ever seen." "It's great because he senses the resurgence of the traditionalstress and habitually uses angular fragmentation to consummate his all pervading theme or hermeticanarchy." Eventually we feel pressed to interrupt such a vital conversation and get down to cases. Allpersons are welcome to contribute suggestions for possible shows, but they are further asked tocomment personally, if the film is not well known, why they thought it was good. Reviews by competentcritics are also filed, and notes are compiled on all candidates (including shorts) and final selections aremade from this file. Several titles which have unanimous agreement are rejected for having been shown every three months on TV (only after their excellence had been proven, and when they are notcontroversial). ORIGINAL LANGUAGES All of the films will be in the language of their origin, and non-English works will be subtitled. This is far preferable to dubbed versions which never receive the care necessary for good translations. It should be mentioned here that there is no intention to excludeAmerican films. Often the term 'foreign film' infers either that all foreign films are of better quality thanAmerican films, or that none of ours are good. Make no mistakeâ€”other countries have just as muchnon-talent pointing a camera at any quick draw, reclining wench, or jpsychotic drunk that happens by.H. L. Menchen's famous quip, "No one ever lost money understanding the taste of the Americanpublic," appears to apply universally. The problem of communication is always difficult in the arts, even among the aficionados, and when one is not too familiar with an art form this barrier becomes almostinsurmountable. I wish, for instance, critical notes were forthcoming at some art exhibits, where oneencounters all black canvases, or piles of rusty gears soldered together. Critical program notes areusually furnished with films to raise the general level of sophistication for the medium. Hopefully,students and faculty alike will develop a greater interest in film art. There can, of course, be noguarantee of satisfaction and often the best works of art are the most disturbhg. We can guaranteethat all of the films chosen have been produced by first rate directors and most have won world-widerecognition. Anyone wishing to get into the act of suggesting titles (students and faculty alike) iswelcome to do so. Intramurals undergo Many major changes The men's i n t r a m u r a l set-up at W es t e r n has under gone a d r a s t i c change, according to Dr. W i l l i am Tomar as, chairman of the. Ph y s i c a l Education Department. The changes have been made in an effort to "try to get a strongbasis of competion within the intramural program," To-maras said. For the first time a regular facultymember will supervise the program. Jim Smith, a new faculty member from Madison High School inPortland, Ore., will handle the IM'is. He is also replacing Tomaras as wrestling coach. 'fSmith has a"barrel of ideas," Tomaras added. Don Rieland will be the student IM manager this year. This yearleagues will toe set up in dormitory and independent divisions. Previously, individuals from all corners ofthe campus could get together itnd form a team, but this year residents must compete within their dorm and non-residents will compete in a separate league. Although dormitory students are now slightly more limited in selection of teammates'they htay enter as many teams as they wish. At the end of theseason the winners of the dormitory and independent divisions will play off for the campus crown.TROPHIES GIVEN "Once this is established, trophies can be given to the winners," Tomaras said.Dormitories, for instance, will be able to have trophy cases. A handbook is being written this year forthe intramural program. It will explain rules of the various sports, method for entering teams andeligibility of players. A complete schedule of events will also be in the booklet. The main events willbe offered fall term, according to To-aras. Touch football will start right away, followed by an earlybasketball competition in mid- October and the annual Turkey Trot. STUDENTS MAY STILL SEE VIKS FOR FREE Students wishing to go to tomorrow's f o o t b a l l game against University of BritishColumbia at Civic Field can still get in for free, even though not having Fall quarter student body cards.For the first game only Spring quarter student body cards or, for freshmen, the $35 deposit receipt willbe honored, according to Dr. William Tomaras, chairman of the Men's Physical EducationDepartment. Spouses of students should purchase a special ticket for all the football and basketballgames, he said. For only $3 one can see six .football, games and 10 basketball games. Otherwisethe spouse must pay the $1.50 general admission fee. The tickets can be purchased from the Cashier in Old Main. "An Evening Of Fun" is^the title oÂ£ the first big eveninjg|of events on -campus. â€¢ -^ â€¢ f , "Ther#wiil be a coh^iÂ§Spthe auditorium that will includ%|olk-singing followed by a dance headlined bya 'big name band', " said Brent Hayrynen, AS Program Vice President The tickets will be $l-'50 andthey will be sold in advance only. Following this, on Nov. 8, will be singer, Johnny Mathis. It is costingthe program council $6,000 to bring Mathis here so the tickets for this performance will be sold for$2.50 reserve and $2.00 general admission. The tickets for both of these events will go on sale inthe VU lounge this first week of school. MOVIES There will, of course, be movies during Fall quarter and the first one will be free. It will be held Sunday, Sept. 26 in the auditorium and it is titled "Under TheYum, Yum Tree." Following will be others: "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" "Hud", "Bridge Oyer The River Kwai", and "Becket." The cost of admission for these films is 25 cents. "All of these events areplanned by the program council and any freshman that wants to work on the program council cancome up and see me in the VU because there are jobs available," said Hayrynen.

Iflooking at this rather questionable picture makes you green, turn the paper over and look again. in sameStudents who were ; admitted i to the College late, or didn^t come to Bellihgham early to find housingare being left out in the cold this year. There is an acute student housing shortage in Bell-ingham thisyear, according to Gerald Brock, Director of Housing.- â€¢ . H e said female students were beingaccepted in August only if they could find college-approved housing. Many didn't. Real estate agents inBelling-ham say nothing is available for renting, although several houses are for sale^at an average of$14,000 - 15,000 a shot. The dormitories were filled up months ago and the limited off-campus approvedhousing is also filled. According :to College regulations women students under 21 or having less thanjunior academic status must live in a dorm or off-campus approved housing. More Honor StudentsListed BURBANK, CALIF.

Dr. Thomas H.Grove, of Western's Education Department, died early this month after a short illness. Grove was anassistant professor at Western and supervisor of student teachers for resident centers of theEverett, Edmonds, and Shoreline school districts. He received his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctor'sdegrees at the University of Washington. Dr. Grove was a member of the Christian Businessman'sAssociation and the Northwest Baptists' Association in Seattle. He is survived by his wife, Clarice;four children, Connie, Judy, Randy, and Rawleigh. Freshmen male students must do likewise. AH others may live in indepehdant housing â€ž if they wish. TOO BAD If there isn't enough approved housing tomeet the needs, it is just too bad for the students. The College is building dormitories as fast'as theycan, but that's not fast enough to take care of this year's overflow problem. Since 1960 the HighlandHall addition, Higginson Hall, and the three phases of Ridgway have been constructed. More dorms willbe completed by next year. Miracle pops up; Student rates rise A miracle has happened. Students,those long hard hours of slave labor are now worth $1.25 instead of the traditional dollar! According toJoe Nusbaum, Western's business manager, the Board of Trustees has approved the 25 cent raise. Theincrease was okayed this summer along with the rest of the budget. The major problem lies with thebudget. Legislators in the capital city appropriated five per cent a year raise for salary improvements.The college, in reality, is using the improvements, for the next four years. The deficiency is to beincorporated in to the Federal Opportunity Act. The act provides $34,700 a year and part of it will be used for student salaries. If this method is adopted there will not have to be a decrease of student jobs. Collegian Advertising Schedule Advertising deadline is Monday noon before publication.

As part of a long-range building program to help stayWestern's soar- fall of 1966. ing enrollment, the hew skyscraper-type dorm will provide living space for 314 A NEW ROOM-A NEW YEAR-NOT BAD! Relaxing quietly in the solitude of his room in one of the newRidgeway dormitories, this Westernite contemplates the coming quarter. With the emphasis on comfort,the new dorms^ display excellent lighting, ample living space and a modern decor. Students will occupythe rooms beginning this fall. The Ridgeway complex will continue to grow during the year. More kids-noroom- More dorms the answer Student dormitories are bursting out all over on Western's campus asthe administration tries to meet the problem of enr rolling more and more students. During 1964-65,1,300 men and women were housed on campus. This fall 1,650 students will be living in dormitories and2,274 will live on campus in 1967. Harold Goltz, assistant to President Harvey C. Bunke; anticipatesthat between 2,800 and 3,300 students will be living in dormitory housing by 1970. This summer, a444-bed dormitory was completed in the Ridgeway complex, the western-most section ofdormitories. The project, costing $2,387,500 will provide housing for men as well as an addition tothe Ridgeway dining facilities. Fred Bassetti and Associates of Seattle were the architects. DORMSCONVERTED Two of the earlier Ridgeway men's dorms have been converted for use as women'shousing. This was necessary when it was decided to convert the 76-bed Women's Residence Hall toacademic use. Jerry Livermore of Bellingham was the architect for the conversion. The EducationDepartment will have the biggest use of WRH this fall, Goltz said, but the Speech Clinic and the officesof the Ford Foundation Grant Administration will also be housed there. Western will follow the trend tohigh rise dormitories next year. A nine-story dorm housing 314 students will be completed by fall of1966, Goltz said. The architect is Henry Kline. The development for women will include, among otherthings, two elevators. The students will eat in the Viking Commons, Western's main dining hall.Another dormitory also designed by Kline and in the same block on High Street, is being planned for1967, Goltz said. It will also probably be for women but a project is "under consideration" forconverting Higginsont Hall and Edens Hall North, presently women's dorms, to men's dormitories,Goltz added. No tax dollars are being spent on capital construction at the college," Goltz emphasized."All dormitories are paid for with student fees and room and board money. The WRH project is beingfinanced out of the student's tuition." - The Associated Students own a Line-O-Scribe sign printingmachine. Student organizations wishing to help in their publicity programs can, for a nominal fee, have signs made. A minimum notice of three days is required. EEP! FORGOT ABOUT THESE Trying to find a place for everything in the confusion is Gerrit Byeman, helping with the remodeling of the oldWomen's Residence Hall. When finished; the building will house the Ed Department and FordFoundation Grant office. (Photos by LANCE) irs' at WRH-Out go Co-eds, in come profs The Women'sResidence Hall will never again echo the pjtter patter of feminine feet at all hours of the night. During the summer WRH was converted to academic use. The Education Department has moved its offices thereand will have access to the major part of the building, according to Harold Goltz, Assistant to thePresident. "It's the old game of professor's musical chairs," he said. Prior to. this fall the Educationoffices have been in the Humanities Building and Old Main. "Moving the offices to WRH will bring theEducation Department together," he said. It will also allow the English, Political Science and HistoryDepartments in the Humanities Building and the Math, Economics and Administration areas in OldMain to expand. The Education curriculum library will be moved from Old Main to the Mabel ZoeWilson Library, Goltz added. Only the Education Department's Fifth Year Advisement office will remain in the ivy-covered building. The Campus School office will remain in the School. The EducationDepartment will share WRH with the Ford Foundation Grant office and the Speech Clinic. Space inthe former dormitory has also been converted for two classrooms, a conference room and severalseminar rooms. Behind the clearly identifiable responsibilities of college officials, lies an implicitrespoiir sibility to use education where-ever possible in preference to punishment. All classrooms andoffice buildings are closed to student use at 11 p. m; weekdays and at 12 noon Saturdays. The Viking Union, hours differ considerably. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 34 ---------- PAGE THIRTY-FOUR THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 Web and UCCF separate close tocampus Contrary to popular opinion, The Web, an espresso house just below the Vis i n g Union,is not a front for a conv^rsion-to-Ghris-tianity movement. Rev. Lyle Sellards, of the United CampusChristian Fellowship house which sponsors The Web, emphasized this point in an interview recently.The Web was started, he said, ttnerely as a coffee house where fstudents could go on weekends. Therethey can play cards, checkers, chess, drink coffee, talk and pUfeten to the volunteer entertainment.The "floor show" depends on who wants to perform. It varies ing to make religion relevant to from folksingers to jazz combos to poetry readers. "Students are given,a chance to express themselvescreatively," Sellards said. The Web is run on student donations in payment for the refreshmentsserved. The UCCF organization is sponsored by the Methodist, Congregational, United Bretheren,Baptist, Presbyterian and Disciples churches on campuses throughout the nation. However, Sellardsdescribes their program as "open" and they try to reach as many students as possible, regardless ofdenomination. Sellards believes, "If you're go place to go. the student, you have to deal with thecurrent issues, many of which are controversial." This is done through several programs held at theUCCF house each week. One of the most popular of these is the "Faculty Speaks" series. Held eachThursday at 4 p. m., beginning Oct. 7, this quarter's topic is "The Importance of Skin"'â€”on thenecessity of being human. Other programs are the Sunday Seminar at 9:30 a. m., informalafternoon program at 2 p. m, and the Book Study Group at 4 p. in. Sellards is from Centralia, Wash.,and attended junior college there. After two years he went to the University of Oregon in Eugene with a pre-med. major. Spending more time in the Northwest Christian College taking theology courses hegraduated with a Bachelor of Theology degree. Sellards returned to his home state and studied for ayear at the University of Washington while acting as a minister to high school youth for the UniversityChristian Church. In 1951 he attended Lexington Theological Seminary in Kentucky and graduatedwith a Bachelor of Divinity degree. After four years as minister to students at the University ofIllinois he .came to Western in 1959. Last summer he began working towards his Master's degree atthe University of British Columbia in Vancouver. "I just want to get back to school;" he said.. C-l series offers Music, drama, films A varied offering of programs, designed to entertain and enrich, had beenscheduled for this year's Concert- Lecture and Film Arts series. In the Concert-Lecture series, anattempt has been made this year as before to achieve a balance of professional drama, concert anddance, which this fall includes two plays and a eon-cert by a noted pianist.

The second part of a three phase, $300,000 project to develop Western's outdoorrecreational facilities is now underway, according to Dr. William Tomaras of the Physical Educationdepartment. The entire project includes the construction of a new practice field and track, thedevelopment of three new playfields, two of which will replace the old track and field area, and finally, the construction of eight new tennis courts next to Carver Gymnasium. The new, multipurpose practicefield and track are "essentially completed," Tomaras said. "We will not use the field at all this fallâ€”we'lllet it settle for a while." NEW TRACK Trackmen next spring will be running on a new, six-lane,quarter- mile oval, which surrounds the practice field. The track is made of a red shale type base, and certain field event areas, such as the broad jump and high jump runways, are made of Grastex, aspecial asphalt-like material. Ending phase one of the huge outdoor project, the new track and field cost $100,000^ The area, which has its own built-in sprinkler system, will be ready for use by spring quarter, and will be used for practice and intramural sports only. "It looks like it will be a real fine field," Tomarasnoted. Just beyond the new track and field- area, bulldozers are presently clearing the way for a40x90-yard auxiliary playfield.

The course, held for the first time at Western, was also the first one of its kind ever offered in the state. Its purpose was to begin to prepare a eorps of well informed teachers to assist Indianyoungsters to achieve their proper place in the American social order while encouraging them to retaintheir unique cultural identity, according to Dr. Thomas Billings of Western's Education Departmentand workshop chairman. Â« During the first three days of the workshop, eight Indian tribal leadersfrom Washington discussed the conditions of their fellow people in the Northwest and airedgrievances with public and private agencies.

Student problems aided Counseling provided By CAROL COTTLE Collegian Staff Writer Face it, College just isn't College without its shareof problems, whether they deal with the opposite sex, or that last mid-term you just ruined. These littletrials can really get a person down unless he can let off a little steam to someone. The CounselingCenter, available to all of Western's students, is a facility offered where a student who finds he hastrouble meeting these problems can go for counsel. Dr. Frank Nugent, director of the CounselingCenter, says, â€¢'The purpose of the Counseling Center is to facilitate the : instruction-' program bybeing avail-. aMe, to students when they are haying problems- that interfere with their:'learning." ^#ANY PROBLEMS " "The problems that college students come across are many and variedespecially those of adjustment to college in general, so at the Center we try and help the studentsresolve there problems in talking out the problem with a counselor," Nugent said. It seems that one ofthe commonest questions asked by college, students is the question of "Why am I here?" Dr.Nugent stated, "This problem often results in a conflict and this is where the Center can be of use tothe student by involving him in a discussion session so that he can see why he is at college." TheCounseling Center has been operating for three years now as an independent body. .;,, ~ The Center'sstaff is comprised , of six members who teach classes as well as counsel students. The counselors areDr. Frank Nugent, director; Dr. Evelyn Mason, Dr. James Straughn, Dr. William McKay, Dr. ElvetJones and a new addition to the Center's staff, David Panek. All of these counselors teach as well ascounsel and are part-time members of the Psychology Department. VOLUNTEER BASIS "TheCounseling Center offers all services on a volunteer basis and no one is compelled to make use of theseservices unless he feels, that the time spent with the counselor would be of benefit to him," said Dr.Nugent. â€¢ If at any time a student feels he would like to return to the services of the Center, he may, for his file is never closed as these services will always be available to him. vThe."; Counseling Centeralong with' offering individual counselling has initiated a new program of group counselling. Thestudent, of course, can choose which program he would like to take-â€”either a vocational study or oneconcerning emotional and personal problems. This program was begun early in the new year andseven groups were tried, each containing from five to seven people, who would meet at a designated time and enter into group discussions. "The staff felt that this additional service met with a very favorableresponse from students," Nugent also added. TESTING The Center also gives psychological testing when the counselors feel that it will benefit them in being able to help the student more fully. But themain objective in the Center is conversation, to be able to talk about a problem and resolve it, so thetests are only a help in possible indication of a problem. ; The main objective then of the CounselingCenter is to help a student make his own decisions and gives him no answers that he has not begun torealize himself, according to Nugent. Student Tutor Society Reorganized at Western , Need a littlehelp with the studies? Tired of chasing your prof across campus to get some extra instruction? Yourproblem could be solved ~ ~~ this fall.

"I don't want to raise anyprices, if I can help it," he said. "I like to keep the Coffee Shop to the kids' liking," he added. "It's theirshop." The popular luncheon specials offered last year will be featured again this year, he said. "Thestudents seem to enjoy them." Loge is also thinking of a similar dinner special so the students will stayon campus instead of going downtown for supper. A new feature Loge is plugging is a coffee bar where the water cooler and juke box are. This, new addition would have to be approved by the college.

Few teachers like to work in depressed areas, he said, and there are four main reasons for this: The teachers lack the preparation for working with the culturally- deprived. They fear thehostile students in these schools and they don't know how to cope with them.. By leaving these schools they make the- situation worse. There is a lack of recognition for teachers who work with difficultchildren. "Like most human beings, teachers are anxious for a pat on the back," Haubrich said.DEFENSIVE ATTITUDE Parents develop a defensive attitude toward the school. They ignore the teacherbecause the school is the agent that tells these parents they are inadequate, according to Haubrich.Teachers, Haubrch said, must become involved in the style of life and learning' of the culturally-deprived. It must be done even if it means living in the slums of East Harlem or the hills of Kentucky, headded. The problems are many but they can be solved, according to Haubrich. First, the teacher mustleave the classroom and "extend a hand which goes beyond the blackboard," he said. VERNONHAUBRICH . . . gone to Columbia A long look should be taken at the relationship between thecolleges and the public schools, he said. Just as the teacher won't participate in the depressedculture, neither will the college professor "leave his cocoon" and see the world around him, Haubrich said. Schools of inquiry should be set up, he said, where the professor and teacher can meet anddiscuss problems in education. STRICTER CHECK Haubrich said he felt a stricter check should bemade on who enters the teaching profession. "It is not a job for one trying to find an easy route toprofessional status," he added. A longer internship and a more realistic link with the public schoolsare needed. He said perhaps teaching should be postponed until after the graduate level. Finally,and perhaps most im-iportantly, he said the public school system must be responsive to a wider area ofresponsibility. They must discover what it means to integrate schools and what it does to the children.They must find out how deep the chasm is between the teacher and the culturally-deprived child. Thesystem must be "loosened up," he said. New ideas must be tried. "Teachers owe it to their tradition of patience, understanding and humility to make an effort to. do these things,". lie said. Haubrich came to Western in January, 1964, from Hunter Col-lege. New York, where he trained teachers for work inculturally-deprived areas. This fall he will assume a new position at Teacher's College, ColumbiaUniversity, N. Y. Student Bill of Rights posted All students required to appear before a disciplinary board shall be notified as to why their appearance has been requested. In all disciplinary meetings, thestudent shall enjoy the right to speak on his own behalf.

Under no circumstances shall a student be made to feel that refusal to renderinformation will of itself increase the degree of penalty. A student penalized by a civic authority shall not be re-examined by a disciplinary board, unless the civic violation can justifiably be construed asone of major consequence. A student shall not be brought before the Disciplinary Committee whichcompletely lacks student representation unless the student wishes to waive the studentrepresentation.

At the end of Spring quarter next year the program that was started fallquarter of 1963 will reach the final evaluation stage. The Independent Psychology Program is anexperiment to see whether students are as successful at independent study as students are inclassroom instruction. Dr. Peter Elich, director of the program stated that "the first two years of theprogram and their results had been favorable but we have initiated almost a total change in the programitself, that is, in the course work to be offered." The Independent Psychology course can be describedas a four-area course which has the use of the college resources and equipment under guidance. It issupported by lectures, reserved readings, discussion and consultation with faculty members. Elichsaid that the evaluation thus far points out that some students can obtain the necessary objectivesneeded for an educational psychology course by using the method of independent study. "Theprogram is aimed at identifying the character of students who are successful as well as being self-disciplined persons," said Elich. The Independent Psychology program is available to any sophomoreteacher education student who is willing to accept the responsibility of completing the course. Newstudy guides have been writen and improved and there will be new reading material, some of which isbeing written by the instructors of the Educational Psychology program. The initial group that took the Independent Psychology program will be seniors this year. Of the total 350 students first admitted tothe program in 1963 200 are left. Elich said, "The students who have dropped out of the program haveeither transferred, changed their major or have dropped out of college." Out of these 350 students 50 per cent have completed the whole course of study and the ones that are left will complete their finalseminars in the next year. Last fall approximately 350 students again entered the program. All or acombination of the facilities may be used by students during their program. Competency tests aregiven throughout the year in which a grade of "C" or higher must be achieved. Exams may be taken atany time the student feels he has completed the necessary study and application to pass theexamination. Of course, if the student fails the exam he is free to take the test again when he findsthat he has filled the gaps in his knowledge.

But they have memories and can look forward to returning next summer. year's classwill serve as tutors to the new ones, said Billings.

Overcome kids brightenThemselves; campus too : A chance. . . . . Fifty youngsters, mostly from the Seattle-Tacoma area,received this at Western this summer. They were part of Project Overcome, the brain-child of theEducation Department's Dr. Thomas Billings, a program to help prepare "culturally-.deprived" highschool students for college. Financed by the Office of Economic Opportunity, Project Overcomeoffered eight weeks of intellectual, cultural and recreational stimulation to the 50, Caucasians,Negroes, Orientals and Indians, who will enter their senior year of high school this fall. Contact will bekept with these students during the winter by the Overcome staff and they will return to Western nextsummer. Then, after more preparation, they will enter Western in the fall. If the program is a successhere the OEO will recommend that most colleges and universities make it a permanent part of theirsummer programs. The result would be that students all over the United States who hadn't receivedintellectual stimulation at home would have a chance to go to the summer schools and enrichthemselves enough to be able to enter college. Dr. Billings termed the first phase of the program atWestern an "immense success." "Its success was far beyond what we had hoped, and in ways some of us had not even thought about." DAILY CLASSES The boys and girls went to classes each morning, studying English, history, math, science and art. The art program was very popular and one morning the regular summer school students found cardboard and wood sculptures scattered around .the.campus by the "Overcome" kids. (See picture, page 13.) Besides the class. instructors, severaltutors worked with the kids. The tutors were either upper division students or graduates of Western,according to Billings. Next year the project will double in size as the year's 50 plus an additional 50students come to Western.

Stud e n t s at Western went to class for weeks on e n d u n d e r w a r m J u ly skiesand members of t h e summer Board of Control boiled in the heat of t h e i r own a r g u m e n t s over aboathouse. .Last winter quarter the AS Legislature approved plans for the construction of a newboathouse at Lakewood, Western's waterfront recreation area on Lake Whatcom. The estimated costof construction for the project was $4000. This summer the boathouse was completed, but when thebill reached the desks of BOC members, it read $5200, a full $1200 more than the estimated^ price.People were unhappy in the VUI building. Dan Gullickson, Facilities Chairman and manager of Lakewood for the summer, was called before a July 20 Board of Control meeting and received the brunt of thatorganizations wrath. Charges of "hasty decisions" and "boathouse blunder" were fired at Gullickson by Finance Chairman Dave Go-forth and AS Legislator Clark Drummond at the lively meeting. BAD LABOR Gullickson defended himself by explaining that he had not spent more money for the boathouse in"haste" but had spent it only because undependable student labor had forced the hiring of professionallabor at a higher cost, to complete the boathouse in time for summer use. "Students would only showup for work at Lakewood when they wanted to because of the low rate of payâ€”one dollar an hour forwork that pays more in Bellingham," he said. Although a controversy over the boat-house raged on, theappointed summer legislators passed a motion authorizing Goforth to spend up to a total of $5700 forfinishing the boathouse. Gullickson said the boathouse needed painting to make it complete. At the endof the meeting the legislators asked for, and received, Gullickson's resignation. Because of theboathouse. controversy, Goforth introduced a motion for a committee to make recommendations forfuture construction of student-owned buildings to be referred to the fall quarter AS Legislature.Summer BOC was lively for once This summer was a time of unusual activity for Western's Board ofControl.

The result of this added expense was a lively BOC meeting during which Dam Gullickson,Western's Facilities Chairman and manager of Lakewood, was accused of numerous "blunders."Because of this controversy, Dave Goforth, BOC Finance Chairman, introduced a motion for a committee to make recommendations for future construction of student owned buildings to be referred to thefall quarter AS Legislature. A motion was passed by the BOC for a committee of two legislatorsappointed by Dean Foster, BOC Chairman, to make future recommendations. MORE ISSUES Anotherhotly debated issue this summer was the problem of toilet and sink facilities at Lakewood. The problemwas centered around the specifications, .cost and construction bids. The Whatcom County HealthDepartment had issued an order that lavatories be installed in the near future. The use of Lakewood forprivate organizations, other than college sponsored groups, was also discussed.- According toGullickson, a private religious group on Lake Whatcom had. created problems loading and unloadingsupplies and guests, and parking cars in Lakewood's parking lot, creating a jam. Legislator Tim Devorebrought up the point that the college has a responsibility to the students and should avoid allowinggroups outside the college to use Lake-wood. In other business, the legislators voted not to allowFacilities Chairman Gullickson a vote oa the Summer Board of Control. Gullickson retorted, "There have been voting Facilities Chairmen on the Summer BOC since 1959. Why shouldn't I get a vote thissummer?"

Two one-act plays by Murray Schisgal, "The Typist" and "The Tiger" were the firstperformances given. The plays were directed by Dr. Byron Sigler, of Western's Speech Department.There were only two characters in each play. "The Typist" starred Roger Keagle and Diane Mc-Cormack while "The Typist" billed James Walker and Megan Jones. MUSICAL Western's Speech and Music Departments co-operated in presenting the musical fantasy, "The Fantasticks." William Birnerof the Speech Department directed the play. Delbert Simon was. musical director and Casandra Lawyer was choreographer. The cast included John Stout, Dick Hastings and Prudy Keeler. The comedywas presented in conjunction with the Summer Concert-Lecture Series. . The final offering of theWestern Players for the summer was "Krapp's Last. Tape" and "Aria da Capo." John Stout, a seniorat Western directed both plays. He also had the only role in "Krapp's Last Tape." Starring in "Aria daCapo" were Kath-erine Boysen, Clark Drummond, Cassandra Lawyer, Charles Summers, and AndyYackley. An evening of opera scenes was presented for the first time at Western. Both comic andserious opera were under the direction of Thomas Osborn. Scenes were taken from the "Cosi fan tutte"by Mozart, "II Trovatore" by Verdi, "La Tra-viata" by Verdi, and "La Bohe-rae" by Puccini. A specialchamber opera "There and Back" by Hindemith concluded the program. Ford Foundation smiles$490,000 now ours SCENE FROM SUMMER PLAY A $490,000 grant to develop a new graphic artscurriculum in colleges and public schools was awarded to Western June 28 by the Ford Foundation.The grant, largest ever received by Western, will be used over a three-year period to build and testcurricula that will train both specialists and teachers in the graphic arts. Dr. Ray Schwalm of Western'sGraphic Arts Department will direct the project. "The problem of converting machine language to humanlan: guage and vice vensa is becoming more complei," Schwalm re-, marked in explaining the project."While the need has been understood, opportunity has been limited for the student who is interestedin a comprehensive program in the graphic arts," Schwalm said. If the program is successful, collegesand public schools throughout the country will be Western calls Again to grad Neil Murray, Western'sAssociated Student President two years ago, has returned to college from the big, bad world.Murray, who graduated in 1964 with a Political Science major and B. A^ and B. A. in Education degrees, took over the new.position of -Program Assistant Sept. 1. Murray said his general duties will be toassist Richard Reynolds, Director of Student Activities. He will also be working in the social andrecreatonal phases of student programming. Last year Murray taught ninth grade Social Studies andEnglish in Longview, Wash. While he admits he "liked it" he also says he is happy to be back atWestern. A. S. President Murray was instrumental in many programs. Among these were theformation of the Course Evaluation Program, the Student Tutor Society and the Disciplinary Bull ofRights. encouraged to establish similar curricula. Specifically, the curricula to be developed are brokeninto four parts. These are: â€”A two-year pre-vocational program for grades 11 and 12. â€”A special 12th grade program for students planning to enter industry after high school. â€”An improved two-yeargraphic arts technology curriculum for community colleges and for Western. â€”An improved teachereducation program to prepare the "new breed" of graphic arts teachers. SENIOR HIGH LEVEL . Thesenior high school program will include heavy orientation in science and technology of graphic arts forstudents planning to enroll in a technical institute, community college, or four-year college. Thecommunity college curriculum will prepare students for work in such fields as advertising production,graphic design, commercial and industrial photography, television and motion picture graphics,printing and production control, and other types of jobs involving the planning, preparation ,andproduction of visual information. Those wishing to enter a four-year college will be able to do so withoutloss of credit. At the four-year college level, the curriculum would be written in such a way that thestudent who completes the first two years could go directly into industry or continue on to earn abachelors degree in some phase of visual; communication or in teaching. FIRST PHASE The first phase of the project will get under way this summer when.a group of faculty members representing 12disciplines in the social sciences, physical sciences, and humanities meet for three months to develop a curriculum for Western: During the summer of 1966, teachers and administrators from schools wherethe curriculum will be tested will meet for nine weeks at Western with college faculty members. Their job will be to refine the curriculum and have it ready for testing in, the fall. Curricula will then be tested and evaluated during the following two years. in schools hi Vancouver, B.

See'HONORS' Page 24 Operation Headstart Starts at Western Western Washington State Collegeplayed an integral role in the Pacific Northwest's participation in President Johnson's War on Povertythis summer. In June, Western was used as a training center in "Operation Headstart," a key programdirected by the Office of Economic Opportunity. The goal of "Operation Head-start" is to give some600,000 pre-school, culturally - deprived children an eight-week headstart on more fortunate children prior to entering kindergarten. In two years, $200,000,000 will be spent so these children will not be leftbehind the others in nursery school because of their culturally arid home lives. 25 TEACHERS Twenty-five teachers spent the week of June 21-26 in concentrated study at Western before going to work atthe Child Development Centers throughout Northwestern Washington. They sometimes studied 13hours a day, according to Stewart Van Wingerden of the Department of Education, who supervised the program. Miss Emma Harris, an expert from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, wasbrought in to handle the training. She is in charge of the nursery school at UBC. Mrs. Pat Burks, ofBellevue, described by Van Wingerden as a "master nursery school teacher," also was brought toBelling-ham. DEMO CLASS An eight-child demonstration class was set up and the trainees observedwhile Mrs. Burks taught. The class received instruction from Dr. Lawrence Douglas of Western'sSociology Department, Dr. Vernon Haubrich and Dr. Thomas Billings of the Education Department, apediatrician and others, Van Wingerden said. Both Haubrich and Billings have had long experienceworking with the culturally deprived. At the end of the week, the trainees returned to their centers inEverett, Ferndale and Skagit County. There they worked, us-usally under the sponsorship of the localpublic schools, with the culturally deprived youngsters. Van Wingerden said Western hopes to runanother clinic next year. "The Education Department has been moving towards nursery schooltraining for some time," he said. Teacher placement difficult Placement of teachers is becoming more difficult. Frank Punches, Placement Director at Western, states that the shortage of teachers hasalmost ended. The "war babies" are now studying to be teachers. Due to a state cut in education,schools have reduced in the hiring of teachers. According to Punches about 80 per cent of the 1965graduates in teacher education have been placed. The re maining 20 per cent are working in otherpositions or in the service. Oregon and British Columbia are among the best placement areas out ofthe state. British Columbia certification for teachers is easily obtained by Western students.Placement in the elementary level is less difficult than at the secondary level. There is a shortage oflibrarians, primary teachers, and girls P. E. teachers. "Girls have a tendency to get married," Punches said. FAMILY FUN!

"Women have to work harder for credibility," said Jean Gallegos, the onlywoman to serve on the Whatcom City Planning Commission. "Men extend credibility to other men, butwomen have to earn it." The difference is, a woman doesn't have a wife at home to help," said KayAnderson, recently-defeated Democratic candidate for secretary of state. "A woman has to work doublyhard." Anderson, Gallegos and Harriet Spanel of the League of Women Voters, spoke at a paneldiscussion Wednesday sponsored by the Political Science Club. Anderson related experiences from her'75 campaign and criticized press coverage. "Experience with a hostile press could prepare me foralmost anything," she said. "My opponent had courted the press for many years. He was their drinkingbuddy." She said smear attempts on opponents are part of every campaign. Candidates also mustchoose associates carefully. "I was running a very positive campaign," Anderson told tne small group."Apparently this is not the way to win state office." Gallegos said she would like to see more women inappointed positions. There are often women on library or museum boards, she said, but none on the CivilService Commission or Code Review. "That's really considered men's domain," she said. Only recently a woman was appointed to the Housing Authority. The League of Women Voters tries to -encourage more participation in politics, she said. "Women have to work harder to get their point across," said Spanel.Locally they set up a talent bank, a directory of politically qualified women. "Local officials were veryreceptive," said Spanel. The League of Women Voters is open to all citizens over age 18. The non-partisan group promotes involvement in local, state.and national government; The League grew fromwomen's sufferage in the 1920s. "It's a good training ground," said Spanel. "Women are recognizing thatthey have the capability to give service." "But there's work to be done," said Gallegos. Women have tospeak up, she said. "Men are predominantly the verbal members of society." KAY ANDERSON â€” Therecent contenter for the Washington Secretary of State spoke Wednesday at a seminar on women inpolitics. She commented that women might have a higher average grade point, but in the classroom, men ask the questions. "Once you've got your foot in, the door is open," said Gallegos. "You can go as faras your capabilities and interests." "You have to be committed to be in politics," cautioned Anderson."I'm very grateful for the experience my campaign gave me." Organic baker does not live by bread aloneby KKIK MAGNUSON "Bible Bread." The sign is simple, with letters neatly printed on cardboard inmarking pen, and hangs on the back of an equally unpretentious little electric oven which squats on atable. "Ezek. 4:9 â€” Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley and bean and lentiles and millet andfitches (rye) . . ." A KNEAD FOR GOD â€” Terri Richeson of the New Health Food Store, across from the Leopold Hotel, is interested in teaching her trade as well as making bread. Terri Richeson uses allthese ingredients plus a few the Old Testament deity didn't call for, in her new bakery set in the back of"The New Health Food Store," across from the Leopold Hotel. "I figure God is *he greatest bio-chemist of all time," Richeson said. Distilled water, sorghum syrup (a variety of molasses) and "Hawaiian SunSyrup," a composite of cane sugar, rose hips, orange and lemon juice and papaya also go into herbread in varying amounts. Her wheat, which she grinds herself, all comes from Deaf Smith County, Tex. "No chemicals or sprays have ever been used in Deaf Smith County," according to Clancy Meyer, whoruns the health food store which houses the bakery. Not only does the county produce the mostnourishing wheat in the U.S., Meyer said, but has "the least incidence of tooth decay in the country."Richeson said she uses distilled water uecause "tne worst water you can get is public water â€” Godnever intended us to drink polluted, fluoridated water." Her bakery is just one week old, but is alreadyattracting many customers, according to Richeson. . A devout Seventh Day Adventist, Richardsonsaid she believes "if people would act like Christians in their business and think of other people, the Lordwill provide the rest." She dispenses free samples of her bread to anyone who is interested, she said."One girl had eight slices," she added. Richeson, a vegetarian, said her bread is a "complete proteinfood," which can be used to replace meat. She sells her tiny eight-inch loaves for what many peoplewould call a steep price â€” 89 cents a pound. With the ingredients used, she said, that is as cheap asshe can sell it. She has taught more than 500 people how to bake bread through classes at WhatcomCommunity College and intends to begin teaching again on her own as soon as enough people signup, she said. She has few kind words for the people who bring us "Wonder Bread" and other suchgastronomic delights. "Their bread is mostly air," and has little nutritional value, she said. This is not herfirst attempt at running a commercial bakery. "My husband and I ran a bakery for two years in Ferndale,selling to grocery stores," she said. "But they wanted more white flour, and then they complained thatthe bread didn't keep long enough so they wanted preservatives." The business was a financial success,Richeson said, but they gave it up rather than bow to such demands. "It took a lot of faith to give up abusiness we had put so much work into," she said. Coming from the lips of your typical American Lcapitalist monster, Richeson's claims of beneficence would fall on deaf ears â€” however this short,animated woman with the page-boy haircut and the penetrating blue eyes somehow radiates suchsincerity that it is difficult to doubt her. Of course this reporter, who waddled out of her bakery with a free loaf under one arm and umpteen slices of bread in his gut, just might be prejudiced. Book policy takenas recommendation The Standardized Textbook proposal was approved Tuesday by the AcademicCoordinating Commission (ACC), as a recommendation, not as a policy, as originally intended. The guidelines, as accepted by the ACC, says "all instructors for lower division classes are recommended to adopt a textbook for at least one year (three quarters)." The ACC further recognized an instructor's prerogative to change texts during the year, but it urged each faculty member to consider the fullramifications of such a change. Now active, the recommendation will not carry as much impact as apolicy would, according to George Elliott, student co-op Bookstore manager. He said Wednesday heis concerned about the cooperation from some departments on campus in following the guidelines.Commissioner Hyung-Chan Kim of Ethnic Studies, who moved to accept the recommendations said,"If you have to change fundamental texts, you are not doing you job."

See page 15. ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 Liz McAlister: spirited and dedicated to non by CASEYBUHR Liz McAlister, one of the Harrisburg Seven, told a group of about 50 people Tuesday that leaderswith power are like dinosaurs in their "ultimate certainty that no problem can not be solved without a littlemore power." McAlister spoke before the showing of "The Selling of the Pentagon," in Lecture Hall 2.The Harrisburg Seven were indicted for a plot to put a bomb in an air duct under the U.S. capitol and tokidnap HenryKissinger. McAlister said the charge was trumped up by J. Edgar Hoover, whom theSeven had pinned down with some legal discrepancy. They were charged with obstructing justice, andMcAlister was convicted for smuggling a letter to Phil Berrigan in jail. Former priest Berrigan and former nun McAlister were married three years ago. McAlister traced the development of nuclear defensepolicy in this country since 1945, when Truman responded to news of the successful bombing ofHiroshima saying "this is the greatest day in history." She said that our ideas regarding nuclearweapons "are as old as our possession of them, as the idea of aspired technology and the need to win."The win syndrome, she said, has restructured our nation into a permanent national security state.McAlister said the nuclear energy industry itself contributes to the proliferation of weapons , in love -violence with plant waste that produce the same detrimental effects. She noted the problem struck close to home with the construction of $30 billion Trident nuclear submarine in Bangor, Wash., near thepeninsula. "The entire process operates independently of leaders who take a position on the issue,"McAlister said. Access to the controls now lies in the hands of many instead of a few, she concluded.Her personal recommendation for concerned citizens was development of groups that meet regularly tofocus on the issue of national defense. McAlister stressed the need to see each other as resources,since organization at the group level provides opportunity for the community to grow spiritually andpurposefully through the goals of non-violent resistance. McAlister is the co-founder of the Jonah Housein Baltimore, which is founded on the principles of non-violent resistence. When asked where she got herenergy, she replied, "it is largely a matter of spirit, the command to love, to build life, and to protect it."The speaker was sponsored by the Campus Christian Ministry, which has arranged for WilliamStringfellow to speak there at 7 tonight. Stringfellow harbored Dan Berrigan [Phil's brother) while he wasunderground in the period of the Harrisburg Seven. Solution to grade inflation sought There is concernthat grades could lose their meaning and value if grade inflation continues, according to Loren Webb,acting vice president for academic affairs. According to Registrar Eugene Omey, there is noevidence the trend is reversing. Out of concern that scholastic awards are losing their meaning,alternatives are being sought. One alternative accepted by the Academic Coordinating Commission onTuesday proposes that awards be granted on a percentile basis of class standings from GPAs. Theproposal, also accepted by College President Paul Ols-camp and the Dean's Council, states scholasticawards should be given as follows: Magna Cum laude to the upper three per cent of a graduating class;Cum Laude to the upper eight per cent; and honors to the upper 15 per cent. Webb, who submitted thisproposal to the two councils has also asked Omey to prepare a review of grading practices at Westernfor the past decade, to determine if alterations or changes are necessary. Omey said he feels ifinformation is released on the grade upswing, if people become knowledgeable about it, and if there is discussion within departments, the situation could remedy itself. Acceptance by the ACC madeWebb's proposal a reality, going into effect at the beginning of fall 1976. Senate reaffirms WashPIRGWashPIRG was reaffirmed Monday by the All-College Senate when it overrode the "veto" of CollegePresident Paul Ols-camp by a vote of 23-7. Olscamp had refused to implement the Senate approval of WashPIRG. The Senate first passed the concept, 27-6, two weeks ago., WashPIRG wants $2 charged at registration to fund its program. Students who wish a refund may do so later in the quarter.Olscamp, while explaining his objections, said, "If the trustees vote no, I hope it will not end theWashPIRG movement." To that, Ann Shiras, co-chairperson of WashPIRG replied, "You say you'refor us, but you won't fund us." Shiras said they had talked to trustee Robert Winston and would talk toothers in the next two weeks. Marvin Southcott of the technology department said he objected toprospective students paying to join an organization before they attend classes here. The Board ofTrustees will consider WashPIRG in a meeting, March 5. In other business, Olscamp announced theProgram Studies Committee will probably have a final report in mid-March.

LaTour phone last week processed combined voluntary the Peace UYA and said on the she will be especially interested in talking to people with skills in math,physical science, education, home economics and vocational education. There are also openings inmany crafts and specific musical instruments, she said. There are current openings in Honduras,Nicaragua, Paraguay, Niger, Lesotho and. tfte Republic of Korea among others, LaTour said. ThePeace Corps at present has about 7,500 volunteers in 68 countries.

WEEKLY SALES AT *3.f7 EVERYDAYLOW PRICES 1^35 Railroad Ave 676-9573 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 , Western Front 3 VP hopeful wants better faculty funding by DICK MILNEWestern needs more quality faculty to bring in more money, according to John LaTourette, candidate forvice president for academic affairs here. LaTourette was here earlier this week to meet with the vicepresidential search committee and college president, and to tour the campus and community. At a two-hour public forum Monday afternoon, LaTourette said national prominence for Western could help bring inmore financial support. "The key is to add to your quality faculty to give you national visibility whileserving local needs," LaTourette said. "I assume you have at least 10 per cent high quality faculty here,"he said. "That's not a criticism. It's typical of most schools." LaTourette is acting provost for graduatestudies and research for the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. SUNY went through areduction-in-force program in which the Russian department there was entirely eliminated, he said. "Thedecision was to take deep cuts here and there to preserve the areas of quality," LaTourette said. He saidthe Russian department was "a pretty poor group of faculty" and "if that department is needed again, wewould hire a whole new department." Tenured faculty members were among those let go at SUNY.LaTourette said he doesn't have any "strong feelings" about tenure quotas, although he said it "decreases a department's flexibility." "Whether we like it or not, state government is holding administrators andfaculty accountable for the use of state funds," he said. "We're fighting for survival." In order to win thatfight, you have to bring in quality programs, he said. "You have to realize it's going to have a high pricetag." At times of low enrollment or changing student interest, "You have to take a close look at thesituation," he said. "You don't want to make cuts that will embarrass you in the future." LaTourette saidmost institutions went tod far in throwing out or revamping general college requirements in the 1960s andearly 70s. "There's good grounds for a regulation stipulating a student should have a certain number ofhours in humanities and social sciences. There's justification for a year of calculus and a year of lifescience and a lab." At the same time, the college should allow students to pursue specialized programswhich result in jobs, encouraging them to pursue a masters degree while working, LaTourette said.Education for jobs "is what a public university is supposed to do," he said. LaTourette is a 1954 graduateof Rutgers University, and received his doctorate in economics there in 1962. At SUNY, LaTourettehandles all research money that comes into the institution while overseeing 18 doctorate programs and over 30 masters programs. He said he applied for the job here because he felt it would be "morechallenging" than his job at SUNY.

Ray, please contact theWestern Front so we can authenticate your letters. PIRG funding is boiling point The fate of Western'sPublic Interest Research Group proposal has boiled down to the controversy over how the proposedorganization will be funded. Proponents of the measure have opted for a mandatory $2 fee, collected.with tuition payments from every student. Students who chose not to support WashPIRG could havetheir $2 refunded. Opponents of the measure have insisted the mandatory collection of fees isdiscriminatory against students not in favor of WashPIRG. It's been debated that those students wouldnot bother to file for a refund, and the use of colleges as collection agencies for a public research groupmay be unethical. An alternatvie method of funding^ has been suggested whereby students could choose at registration time whether or not they wish to support WashPIRG. Proponents of WashPIRG haverejected that alternative for fear that students, who would otherwise support WashPIRG, mayapathetically, decline to register their support. Student apathy has been a springboard for arguments onboth sides. On the one hand, students wouldn't bother to pay the $2, on the other hand, studentswouldn't bother to ask for a refund. Few persons have attacked the WashPIRG proposal on its face. It'sbeen recognized that PIRGs in other parts of the country have successfully exposed a number of publicrip-offs. The good that a Bellingham PIRG could do has not been denied. Yet, the proposal may die inthe very name of student (public) interest which such an organization would serve. Apathy has beenused as a catch-all excuse for non-involvement. If student apathy indeed exists, why not use it to ouradvantage for once. If students neglected to ask for a refund, it's not like their $2 wouldn't still be workingfor them. Even students who decline to support WashPIRG will enjoy the benefits as citizens andpotential consumers. That would be getting something for nothing. Who'll be discriminated against inthat respect? It is also only fair to ask whose interest is served by preventing the formation of a localPIRG â€” mainly business interests and public larceny groups. Politics enter the scene when oneconsiders who is being browned in the solicitation of private donations for higher education. While log-rolling may be behind it all, the argument against WashPIRG just doesn't seem to wash. It invites areciprocal answer to proposed tuition increases. "It's not the idea of funding higher education we oppose; it's just the method of funding." â€” Keith Olson front staff EDITOR: Keith Olson MANAGING EDITOR:Louie Phillips NEWS EDITOR: Dick Milne ARTS ENTERTAINMENT: Janene Lofgren SPORTSEDITOR: Carolyn Price COPY EDITORS: Tori Bonneville, Marshall Brown Suki Dardarian, MargaretGodfrey, Roy Tanaka PRODUCTION MANAGER: Greg Hoofinagle ASSISTANT PRODUCTION: Liz RustADVERTISING MANAGER: Tom Ellison AD GRAPHICS: Maria McAllister, Dave Porter BUSINESSMANAGER: Duane Wolfe PHOTO EDITOR: Ray Hoy The Western Front is the official newspaper ofWestern Washington State College.

All Gory folks of school Satire by Dan Smith Theeducational system of the tiny Republic of Demokratia was falling apart. Students, heady with freedom,had recently divided the State University into five sovereign nations, thus making the administrationprocess a bit cumbersome. As a result, an education expert was sent to the United States of El Dorado,possessor of a legendary educational system, paved with gold. On arriving in El Dorado, Ed U. Kayshun(the Demokratians were famous for their droll sense of humor), the education expert was taken to Break'em Young University, where he received a shock. The students were lined up goose-stepping into thedean's office where each received a whack on the head with a mallet. Shock number two came whenKayshun saw a student chained to his desk. "Oh, he's a hard-headed liberal arts major who just refusesto learn differential calculus," explained the dean. "But what's the use of forcing it down him?" queriedKayshun. "This nation was built on equality! Everyone is gonna come out the same if it kills him!" At that point the dean looked at the student's paper. "What! Only 98 out of 100 correct. Do not pass, do notcollect an "A," go directly back to where you started!" Kayshun, in sympathy with the poor student whoappeared in shock, offered to take him out and buy him a beer, or a coke of he wasn't old enough."School policy forbids that, sir," answered the student. "Mercy above, hands that touch the demon Colashall never shake mine." "Tell me what you really think of this place," said Kayshun. "The judiciousremonstrances create a certain a-propos quid pro quo, strictly in a de facto sense. Or, in Chinese, acertain Teng Shung, translatable as Mystic Harmonious Septum. Or . . ." Kayshun went home to makehis report. Accordingly, the republic of Demokratia became the Kingdom of Tyrannia and adopted the ElDorado method. Within a few years, the students had revolted, occupied the University buildings anddeclared them a sovereign nation. "Perhaps we didn't do something right," suggested the King. So, onceagain, Kayshun was off to El Dorado. "Are you sure you brought me to the right place?" asked Kayshun. His question was prompted by the fact that the University had changeditsnametotheNow Placeof YourThing! andby the sight of the dean locked in a stockade, being paddled by the students. "Of . . . OW . . .course," the dean yelped. "The students are simply notifying me of the new rules against short hair, longskirts and â€” ha, ha â€” right-handedness." Later, Kayshun visited a class on Transcendental Macrame, which two students had organized. It was report card day and they both received "A's". "It's really quitesimple," explained the instructor. "In order to be true to the principles of equality, we cannot possibly onlygrade those who are attending school, but must grade the entire population. Since these two are the only ones attending this class they get "A's." Everyone not enrolled will naturally get failing grades."Kayshun went over to talk to one of these remarkable students who was capable of organizing his ownclass. "Excuse me/ What is this class about and what books have you read?" "Read . . .oh, man. . . I'm black and white and everything is reeeed . . . all over . . . red, white and bluuuue . . . Oh wow! It's theMan . . . don't let him take my rock records away." "No, no, it's okay . . . what do you think about thisplace?" "Well, it's like, great, wow, you know, far out, it's the neatest coolest Mother (Bleep) in the world, dude. Hay, next time you come from Tyrannia, can you bring me a six-pack of Coprs?" ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 5 Letters Pot: 'Eat every herb' Action seen as protest againstEditor, Western Front: American policy, student apathy This letter is in reference to "Pot leaves, crosses stirring controversy." Contrary to what was insinuated in this letter, some "devout Christians" so indulge in marijuana. Gen. 3:16 â€” "The Earth brought forth grass, and herb bearing seed after his kind . . .and God said, 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth,and every tree in lt; gt; which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be meat." Exod.10:12 â€” "Eat every herb of the land." Prov. 15:17 â€” "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than astalled ox and hatred therewith." Further, what was said about protest I find totally inadequate for thepresent situation. I see the appearance of marijuana leaves in windows as a way of expressing beliefthat marijuana should be legalized. These people should not be downgraded simply because theirs isa symbolic expression . . . Tyler Bentley 406 Hoff Road Bowie review showed 'abysmal conception'Editor, Western Front: Rick Donker's review of Bowie's Seattle concert showed an abysmal conceptionof music and the industry which generates it, or perhaps an overindulgence in Jack Daniels. Yearsago, Bowie benefitted from the advantages of a multi-million dollar publicity hype and the coaching of one of the few innovative geniuses in the rock industry. Cherry Vanilla manipulated the industry movers with her sexual favors, much as John Lennon had with his intellect. However', the hype was deserved. Hewas surrounded by extremely competent musicians and engineers and rode the crest of a creative tidein hard rock music. Bowie now suffers the fate of an actor without a role, surviving the business onlybecause of his salable name. The monied interests have remodeled his image and sent out "The ManWho Sold the World" again, only this time as a venture in crass commercialism. The show began withseveral subliminal psychological tricks stolen from Jethro Tull's "Passion Play" tour anddegenerated from there. The musicians were pathetically inadequate to back up a voice like Bowie's.Although the band was bad, the engineers must have been asleep. The concert was plaguedconstantly by feedback, improper volume levels, and a lack of mid-range frequencies, the guitars beingdivided between extreme treble and bass. All the show provided was Bowie's voice and that little bit of stage presence he salvaged from an earlier era. No Mr. Donker, Bowie's Seattle concert was worse than bad . . . it was unprofessional. Gary Bowden Senior Editor, Western Front: In response to the potleaves letter, I applaud the actions of lower campus students. Ted Brancate and Matt Shaw haveequated this dissident action to an 'obvious' disapproval of 'cardboard Christian crosses.' However, myappraisal of the situation is entirely different. I see this protest as an outpouring of dissatisfaction withthe wholly absurd and unjust acts of security in an attempt to enforce the asinine restrictions placed onuse of a harmless weed. The authors of this absurd letter say that these actions 'display a behaviorunbefitting of any college-aged individual.' In my estimation, any action that can be determined to be aprotest against the injustice of American policy in this, a bicentennial year, must be applauded as anaction befitting all Americans of any age. Ted and Matt continue by charging the perpetrators of thishonorable action of disregard for the feelings and convictions of others. I beg you, Ted and Matt,show some respect and regard yourself. In this age of passive acceptance, I applaud any action thatmoves to destroy the apathy college students bathe themselves in. Students of the lower campus, Iapplaud your actions of protest against the oppressive policies of this nation. I would appreciate one of your leaves to display in my residence off campus. Viva freedom, an end to tyranny. Robert CaudleSenior There's no controversy Editor, Western Front: This letter is being written as a response to theletter in the Feb. 6 Front, written by Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. I don't think there's a controversyover the pot leaves and the crosses. I think it is a form of demonstrating by two groups of individuals that have separate beliefs. One group is into God and the other into pot. If one group is forced to removetheir emblems of faith, then the other-should be also. Think about it. That doesn't sound like democracyto me. This is supposed to be a free country, so everyone should be able to voice (or demonstrate) their beliefs openly. There are many types of people in this community, and if we are to peacefully co-exist,there must be give-and-take by all parties involved. JaldDodson Nash Hall Pot leaves are free expression Editor, Western Front: This is in response to the letter regarding the representation of marijuanaleaves in dorm windows. As an originator and supporter of this so-called "protest," I object to theattitude of Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. First of all, when I put the marijuana leaf in my window, it wasneither in disapproval nor in retaliation of the cardboard crosses in some of the windows. I put it in mywindow as an expression of my beliefs and convictions. It's too bad that some of the people on thiscampus are having a difficult time grasping the idea of respecting these beliefs and convictions. Inresponse to the opinion that the originators and supporters of this "aggressive attitude" are"displaying behavior unbefitting of any college-aged individual," forgive me, but I was never giveninstructions concerning what behavior does befit college-aged individuals. If displaying the properbehavior means not expressing oneself the way one finds it necessary to do so, then I want no part of it. I have no desire to cause "dissonance among Western students," but neither do I have any desire tobe told how I may express myself, nor how I should behave. ' Putting the marijuana leaves in thewindows was not intended as a malicious or aggressive act anymore than displaying the crosses was. A few people got together one afternoon and decided we wanted to express ourselves, just as thedevout Christians have done. If the leaves have caused anyone to suffer, then I apologize for my part inthe offense. But the leaf will remain oh my window. Karen Orr Lower campus resident Shorts Â£Underwear Satire by Gary Larson Bozo perverts vs. Ronald ,'mommy Editor, Western Front: I'm writingin response to the articles secreted by your grossly misinformed and radical-orientated staff. That is,your amateur cartoonist, your bisexual pervert, your WashPIRG pushers, your lily white liberals andyour somewhat disconnected Roving Mike. The amateur cartoonist with the Bozo mentality shouldtake note that he and his troopers from the "Revolutionary Bicentennial Commission" have not ruffed a single hair on Ronald's somewhat legendary scalp. Bozo and his revolutionaries have only served tolight the fuse that will send Reagan skyrocketing to the White House. -Just - remember- Ronald callshis wife "mommy," likes a good fight and is a winner all the way. How is it this damned "GayAwareness Week" and WashPIRG exploitation get an over abundance of publicity in your paper? Iwould suspect it is a group of backhouse socialists using the Western Front as a tool to further promotetheir leftist aspirations. You and your staff are most likely not even aware that an increasing number ofstudents are having their (illegible) ta-tooed. In view of this, I would strongly recommend you change thename of the paper to the Eastern Front. A for the-Roving Mike, it's high time you trade it in on a newone. Not only is it out of touch with the international scene, but also on the local sports scene. It makes absurd statements like "Canadian alien law prohibits citizen from owning land." The latter being anabsolute and outright fallacy. In all fairness, I must comment you and your staff for keeping my catwell supplied with kitty tissue to line her litter box. This tissue has little substance, great absorbtionstrength, makes my kitty feel like a real aristocat. What more could anyone ask for?

When asked about the future, Mr. Nixon quipped, "You mother Wo tttVst are still gonna have Dick Nixon to kick around, but you're gonna have to catch me first."

Labs will also furnish practical experience in these areas provided enoughvolunteers of a masochistic nature can be procured. PORNO FILM BIG SUCCESS The X-rated film"French Blue" played to an almost full house Thursday. "The movie was a big success," the AS programcommissioner claimed, "Everyone seemed up for the flick.

This play is a moving, modern adaptation ofGreek dramatic forms, on the order of "Death of a Salesman," Miller's most famous play. As a result, itcould easily be overplayed and overdirected by anyone too enamored of Romantic tragedy style. In allrespects though, director Dennis CatreU has avoided this tendency toward melodrama. The play movescrisply throughout and the timing is smoothly maintained, even though the play moves subtly betweenmoods of comedy and strong emotion. David Locey, a graduate student from Federal Way, is cast in the lead role of Eddie Carborie, a longshoreman who is giving refuge to two cousins from Italy who haveentered the country illegally. Annette Halseth of Tacoma plays his niece Catherine, a pivotal characteraround whom all the other characters play their passions. Beatrice, Eddie's wife, is played by GiuliCascioppo, a senior from Seattle. She is the only one in the play who is portrayed as especiallyBrooklynish, but she restrains herself just enough so that the role doesn't become a caricature.Rodolpho, the Italian cousin who falls in love with Catherine, is played by Peter Kelley. Blond, a singerwho sews and cooks, he displays just enough feminity to give Eddie doubts about his "rightness," yetconvinces the audience that Eddie is likely wrong, and remains a character with whom we aresympathetic. Dick Falkenbury who plays Marco, the other somewhat strong and dumb Italian cousin, isthe only player who fell somewhat short. Attempting to sound strong and dumb, his delivery was oftenonly wooden and lifeless and on several occasions his timing was noticeably off. But dumb roles areoften difficult for people wTho aren't. Finally, the part of Alfieri, played by Scott Creighton, a junior fromEdmonds, deserves separate attention. This play was written during a period when American playwrightswere experimenting with narrators and interlocutors as modern substitutes for the Greek chorus. OVERCOFFEE â€” Beatrice [left], Catherine [right] and Marco discuss family business. Alfieri, a neighborhoodlawyer representing the force of the Law, is just such a part. Unfortunately, this device did not work toowell and Alfieri is saddled with cliches and misplaced metaphors. Also, the part requires that the playersit dead still just off to the right of stage while the rest of the action is going on, then suddenly jump up to begin his explanations. Considering these handicaps, Creighton played his part very well. Regardless of the play's minor flaws, Miller is successful with his aims and the production does full credit to histalents. The play will be presented twice more, tonight and tomorrow, at 8:15 in the Old Main Theatre.Tickets are only $1.50 for students.

"It took a couple of weeks to get used to the sounds coming out of there" says Cindy Davis, ticket taker at the State. Occasional inquiries from out of towners about"where the action is" and rarer flashes by exhibitionists are the only unusual incidents she's experienced. She said customers are usually friendly coming into the theater, but eye contact is hard to get on theway out. Being the first live girl encountered in their departure, Cindy said she often wonders if she'sbeing fantasized about by male customers. Single males make up most of the State's business, butcouples are not infrequent. Ages run generally in the mid to late thirties, according to Charles DeCoster,co-owner of the State. "We've found college-age people are generally unprepared for hardcore," DeCoster said. Most people who walk out in the middle of a show are college-age couples, he said. DeCosterdescribed a typical departure as the girl coming out first, striding for the door, staring CINDY DAVIS â€”Ticket veifdoi straight ahead. The guy follows about ten feet behind looking at the floor. Another eroticfilms theater DeCoster ran #i an Illinois college town was very popular with student audiences. He said he feels students at Western are less interested in films than students in other areas. $ Until August,1976, the State was a floundering theater featuring films similar to Fairhaven's The Picture Show. ThenDeCoster switched to erotic films and business improved considerably, despite an admission increasefrom $1 to $3.

Here is how the law stands after those decisions: â€”interstatetransport of obscene material by common carrier may be prohibited. â€”importation of such material maybe prohibited. obscene material is not protected under the First Amendment. â€”"adult theaters" may notshow obscenity even if the spectators are limited to those over 18 years old. â€”adults may possessobscene material in their homes. â€”obscenity is judged by the state standard of the jury, not national orlocal community. â€”obscenity is patently offensive, and, when taken as a whole, lacks serious literary,artistic, political or scientific value. DAVE McEACHRAN BELLINGHAM MAYOR KEN HERTZ by AMYNELSON BRISTOW Bellingham has no official policy on obscenity and pornography and no city attorneyto enforce a policy, Mayor Ken Hertz said Friday. But, Kertz said, Bellingham needs to decide whether it wants to allow "adult" or sex-oriented businesses in the city. He listed three ways to approch the issue:"We can continue to tolerate expansion (into residential and throughout business areas, we cancontrol them in a specific area, or we can eliminate them altogether." Hertz said outdoor movies presentthe largest problem, since they can expose children to sexually explicit subjects and scenes andbecause outdoor theaters are drifting out into other areas of the community. "We have becomepromiscuous in what we allow people to do when we allow these things to go into other parts of thecommunity," Hertz said. Under controlled circumstances, limited adult entertainment areas could betolerated, he said. Such businesses may serve as an oullet for some persons, and that could be a major justification, Hertz said. And, he added, the freedom of people to do what they will is anotherconsideration. "It's like legalizing card playing rooms. If we attempt to eliminate them, they' gounderground," Hertz said. David McEachran, Whatcom County prosecuting attorney, made a similar observation in an interview Friday. "There is definitely a market or these businesses wouldn't be inexistence." "The whole area is a mess," said McEachran, explaining that loosely defined legal standards have muddied the waters of obscenity law. While ruling that obscenity can be defined, the SupremeCourt has offered only a vague definition, leaving each locality to determine how it wants to handle sex-oriented theaters, bookstores and other businesses. McEachran said the best way to bar sex-appealingbusinesses is through city ordinances. If a city is concerned about pornography and obscenity it canrefuse to grant operating licenses to certain kinds of businesses or set prohibitions on what will go onwithin its limits. ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 9 ---------- e porn changes dirt into gold Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 9 or fhe State Street Theater.hardcore. I sat in on "The Last Bath," the first production by a Seattle erotic film company. Refularcustomers, about 20 per' cent of the State's business, didn't care for "The Last Bath" because it wasn'thardcore enough, Decoster said. Mowever, it is an ambitious, high quality film. The photography isexcellent and as much concerned with scenic footage of the Pacific Northwest as fornicating couples and triples. fhe cast made a noble attempt at acting, and the film included an interesting, originalsoundtrack. Being absorbed in the more basic qualities of the spectacle, I missed what may hatebeen a subtle attempt at a plot. A couple blocks south of the State is Bellingham's latest addition to theblue film industry, The Green Apple Theater. Films at the Green Apple are less technically refined, butdeliver more sex per second than those at the State. The Green Apple offers no plots, soundtracks oreven the slightest attempt at acting, just straight ahead stuffat 25 cents foraminuteand a half. An entirefilm runs about $2 and 10 to 12 minutes. It may be more expensive than at the State, but for truepornophiles there are great advantages to the Green Apple. Customers enjoy large, clean, carpetedviewing rooms. Screens are wall sized and ashtrays and kleenex dispensers are provided. It's luxuriouscompared to the traditional descent into the dark, dank, catacomb corridors of coffin sized, faded woodviewing cubicles encountered in similar establishments. Films at the Green Apple are changed weeklydue to a large number of regular customers. An employee of the Green Apple describes regulars as"single, lonely men," but "perfect gentlemen." The atmosphere is cordial. She said many of them actembarrassed about coming to the theater. A few no longer seem embarrassed and sometimes stop totalk. She said she feels The Green Apple and theaters like it are "an important thing in the community."So if you are curious, a fanatic follower of the genre or just want to compare your performance with thepro's, The State Street Theater and the Green Apple offer modern, safe and sanitary opportunities.Photos this page by Dan Lamont Porn shop sells everything but 'that weird stuff BOOK RACK AT THEGREAT NORTHERN BOOKSTORE by MARSHALL BROWN Merritt Hewitt, co-owner of Great NorthernBooks on Railroad Avenue, prefers to leave the distinction between hardcore and softcore pornography toothers. "I sell penetration," he says. "Except for the really weird stuff like necrophilia, mutilaton andbeastiality," Hewitt said last Friday evening. Sitting behind a display case of sex novelties, Hewitt, atrim, dark 31, was keeping one eye on the television news and the other on the two customers perusingthe store's stock. From his vantage he could see everything in the store except the standard "skin mags" sold almost everywhere these days. "I came into it for the money," Hewitt said. While a historygraduate student here, he clerked at the store for three years before becoming a partner with GaryDeLorenzo, who opened the store in 1971. DeLorenzo is also a former Western student. "It was a way to get started, and it gives me lots of time to read non-pornomaterial," Hewitt said. "I look at it from abusiness point of view â€” I'll buy what I can sell." What the store sells is novelties, books, magazines,comics and coin-operated movies in the store's rear. Hewitt said merchandise is selected for sale byquality not kinkiness. "A lot of what we see (from distributors) is cheap junk, especially some of thenovelties," he said. The store's supplier is in Seattle, but Hewitt declined to name the company."Everything we have sells pretty evenly, from the comics up to the $6.50 and $10 books and magazines," he said. Ten per cent of Great Northern's customers are unaccompanied women, 15 per cent if couples are included, Hewitt said. He was less definite about other breakdowns of his customers. Heestimated his gay patronage at 15 per cent, "as far as the sale of gay materiel is concerned." He said hethought another 15 per cent are Canadians, although with both groups he has "no way of knowing forsure. It's hard to tell." College students are not a significant part of his business. "I think most studentsjust pass it by. I guess they're just not interested in sex," Hewitt said, half smiling. Winter is the slowest time of the year for sales. "People view this as a luxury, and tax time is here," he reasoned. The coldweather doesn't help business either, he said. Hewitt couldn't recall any hassles the store has had. Hesaid an occasional drunk wanders in, but they're just asked to leave as would happen in a bar. "Theword's pretty well out with the kids, too," Hewitt said. "We don't get many underage here." The lawrestricts those under 18, but the sign in the storefront says 21 "just to avoid as much hassle aspossible," he explained. Shoplifting is not as much a problem as might be supposed of a store asspecialized as Great Northern. Tim Miesse, a clerk, said in his four years working there off and on, hehas caught only two people. There was brief flurry of local official interest in the store after the 1973Supreme Court community standards decision. " They' came in here and bought a few items, but Iguess they decided the items were alright. We haven't heard anything," Hewitt said. As for his own views, Hewitt said, "I don't know what obscenity is anymore, and I don't think the state does either." Hewittsaid the Supreme Court ruling didn't change things much in Washington. "The Legislature apparentlydecided the laws that were good before were just as good after (the ruling)." The storefront is curtainedoff, and passers by on the sidewalk "could see more on the magazine rack at Pay 'n Save," Hewitt said.Once inside, except for the subject material, the quiet, relaxed atmosphere could be mistaken for areligous reading room. Magazines and books cover the entire spectrum of human sexuality (exceptthat "really weird" stuff). Some are composed entirely of photographs, some are mixed prose and photos and some are all prose. Hewitt doesn't look for any loosening of restrictions on pornography. He said the community standards decision "seemed to limit the distribution jf materials interstate." And, "if eitherReagan or Wallace comes to power, or becomes a major force in the Presidential selection," Hewitt said, "those two guys would repress it." For the time being, Great Northern Books seems to be on firmground in Bellingham, and business seems to be good. A branch store was opened in Mt. Vernon Dec.1. "Our store there used to be a Bible bookstore," Hewitt said. "Our first day some people walked inthinking it still was and just about sâ€”." ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 M M BAKED LASAGNE VENUS PIZZA SPAGHETTI STEAK HOUSE 1304 12th St. in Old Fairhaven SB We stay open Just for you* We keep.people hours.

Wendy Warren, LindaAnderson and Martin Reeves feel practical experience, rather than in-classroom theory, is a good wayto get an education. CC, an organization that calls itself a citizen's lobby, is a way college students canbecome involved in government, said Jim Sorrels, president of CC in Washington state. 'Students are anenthusiastic resource and we like to see them get involved' The Fairhaven students attend House andSenate full sessions, House and Senate Constitution and Election committee meetings and lobbyindividual legislators for the campaign reform bill. "Students are an enthusiastic resource and we like tosee them get involved," Sorrels said. Based in Washington, D.C. and striving to make the system work,CC focuses on accountability, not personalities or political parties, according to a CC publication. Tobring this "accountability" to government, CC works for the citizen's right to know, opening congressionalcommittee and federal agency meetings to the people and press, and urging financial disclosure bypoliltical candidates and office holders. Reeves says he was surprised by the cordial reactions oflegislators towards him. "I used to have a negative attitude towards government, but now I realize most ofthe people here are trying to do a good job," he said. Friday the 13th not all that bad Don't lose yourhead and/or get married â€” it's Friday the 13th. Marriage on a Friday is supposed to cause infidelity inone or more of the partners, according to voodoo legend. Through the years Friday was traditionally used as the day of execution, and was frequently germed "hangman's day." Named after the Norsegoddess Freya, the day was originally reserved for a festival in her honor. According to legend,when the people stopped worshipping her, she brought ill fortune. Norse legend also deemed 13unlucky because the god Loki intruded at a banquet of 12 guests, and his power brought the death of the hero Balder. In Greek legend, the curse on the House of Atreus brought death to King Agamemmnon on January 13. Christianity picked up 13 as an unlucky number with Christ and his twelve disciples at the last supper. Christ was crucified on Friday and Adam was expelled from Paradise on Friday. Adamrepented and died on Friday. Historically, Friday the 13th has seen a variety of events in the U.S.:impeachment proceedings were begun against Andrew Johnson in March, 1868; Woodrow Wilson was the first President to set foot on foreign soil in December, 1918; the first woman senator, H.O.W.Caraway of Arkansas was elected in November, 1931; and Cora Sterling of Seattle was the first womanappointed to an aerial police force in 1934. So it doesn't have to be a bad day. Besides, it's the first day of the quarter that's followed by a three day weekend.

State Birmingham, Wosh. AAZLDVAHKBoobs Arts 6. 8. 10. by Don Holms Quest Book Store Jl Paid Advertisement THOUGHTS FROM A CHRISTIAN TO THE GAYS I do not judge (look down upon) you as human being. We all have our sinsand yours are not greater than mine. On behalf of some of my self righteous Christian brothers andsisters who do look down on you, I apologize. I do judge gay relationships as sin. I define as sin, any actor attitude that is destructive to relationships, destructive to the relationship of person to himself, aperson to his neighbor, a person to God. I bring God into the discussion because, if there is noultimate absolute God to stand as Loving Judge over us all, then there is nothing to discuss. You cansay that Gay is good and that being anti-gay is bad but the terms good and bad have no meaning in auniverse with no God. I do suggest that this is the position of the majority of people in the gay movement. You live in a universe with no ultimate moral authority so you are free to do as you please. If life has noultimate meaning then it doesn't really matter what we do. If that premise is true, I agree with theconclusion. "Eat, drink and seek pleasure for life has no meaning." If, on the other hand, we live in auniverse created by a wise and loving God, then we are foolish to neglect the principle of moral law andorder, a moral law and order given for the benefit of the created creatures. Obedience in that universewould bring freedom and life, joy and hope. In spite of the persistent rhetoric from the gay movement, Isubmit that the gays are not free but exist in a state of bondage, a bondage that is not "liberating" but a bondage that makes the universe drab and cramped and lonely. In spite of the constant use of the term"meaningful relationships," I am of the opinion that the gay life leads one down a despairing road that is a revolt against life itself. Is it possible that your revolt against traditional morality is a revolt of the limbagainst the tree, a revolt of the hand against the heart? If you succeed in cutting yourself off fromtraditional morality, maybe you will find that you have cut yourself off from everything that matters? Thereis no such thing as a "new Morality," only a rebellion against the old one. All attempts at a "newmorality" are merely a watering down of real morality. The laws of morality are as rigid (and for thatreason, helpful) as the laws of science. Either we obey them, or by our disobedience and ourunwillingness to seek forgiveness, we choose self destruction. We may choose to disbelieve in thatstrange story about an apple and a snake but that should not cause us to overlook the point of the story.A question I would encourage you to ask yourself: Where is the gay life going to take you in twenty orthirty years? It is the same question the playboy or playgirl need to ask themselves. Is thecommittment to personal freedom going to bring freedom, or will the temporary glitter of the selfish lifeeventually going to lose its shine and begin to rust and decay? I think that gay Christians haveadjusted their theology to their desires rather than attempting to direct their desires by their theology. We Christians are under orders to present our whole selves as a sacrifice up to God in Christ. All ourinclinations both good and bad must be offered up. We can obey or disobey. "He who saves his lifeshall lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake ..hall save it." (Christ). The real question is, do we want the truth about life, whatever it is, or do only want what we want. Are we orphans in universe out otfulfill our immediate desires, or are we someone's kids who are each loved personally. I wouldencourage you to make an intelligent investigation of Christianity. I'm convinced that Christianity outshines all the options, as the sun outshines a candle. sponsored by Campus Christian Fellowship 733-3077676-0490 C.C.F. meets at 7:30 on Friday's in V.U. 450 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 Human Services gets $950 operating budget School of Edseeks dean by TERRY McGUIRE The Activities Council has apportioned a $950 operating budget to the Human Services Program Student Organization, a new off-campus group. The organization hadrequested $2,900 for operating expenses, but it was reduced by two-thirds and approved at theCouncil's Jan. 26 meeting. The group was formed last quarter by students in the Human ServicesProgram (HSP) an off-campus upper-division program offering experience in the human services field and a bachelor of arts from Western. The program is administered through the College of Ethnic Studies.The $950 will be used to improve communications a-inong HSP students, according to Sharon Morris, aspokesperson for the group's Seattle district. She said the group will rent office space in Seattle toserve as a communications center and will publish a newsletter. Western's liaison for the group,Hunter Nickell of the Viking Union Administration, said the students organized last October in reaction to a $52.50 diversion of their tuition. The money, which previously had gone directly into the program, was earmarked for services' and activities, Nickell said. He said the more than 300 students in the programare scattered in communities from Skagit Valley to Tacoma and can't benefit from campus facilitieshere. "Mainly, they want access to recreational and library facilities," Nickell said. "Part of the $2,900 request was for a retreat, away from the institutional setting, to accommodate their recreational and learning needs." The Council was "leery" of the retreat proposal, according to Nickell, because it was a new idea and the group's presentation was not "solid enough."

Meanwhile, community colleges inthe HSP area will soon allow HSP students access to their recreational and library facilities, Nickellnoted. He said he is trying to negotiate a similar open-door policy with the University of Washington,since many of the HSP students and a majority of the human service organizations are based in Seattle. In addition to the budget approval, Nickell said Western is responding to the group's needs in otherareas. He said the students are notified of films relating to their work, which are available from theAudiovisual Center. The college also updates HSP students on the resources open to them in thehealth, financial aid and placement services. byDAVENEFF A national search will begin soon for a deanof the School of Education that was approved by Western's Board of Trustees Feb. 5, according to Loren Webb, acting vice president for academic affairs. Monday, Webb said he plans to appoint a screeningcommittee by next week to review applications expected to come into his office as a result of advertisingfor the position in national publications. At their February meeting the trustees, acting on Webb'srecommendation, appointed Arnold Gallegos as the school's acting dean. He was formerly associatedean of Teachers Education. Gallegos said "my plans are right now to apply" for the permanent deanposition. Gallegos said the school's dean is charged, among other things, with "joint recommendatorypurview with the deans of the other collegiate divisions" over personnel action affecting "all individuals at(Western) teaching courses for school personnel." The School of Education is the result of a rejectionlate last October of a proposed College of Education by Western's Academic Coordinating Committee(ACC). The rejected proposal included the department of education, the department of physicaleducation, and the separate speech pathology and audiology programs "as three departments in theCollege of Education," Gallegos said. Under the recommendations of an ACC conference committee,approved by the ACC Dec. 3 and endorsed by All-College Senate Dec. 11, a compromise School ofEducation was approved, according to Gallegos. "The department of education is the only total unitwithin the school," Gallegos said. "However, it includes all education faculty" at Western. Prior to theformation of the School of Education "the department of education didn't belong to any collegiate division" at Western, Gallegos said. Approximately 30 per cent of the undergraduates attending Western are in teacher education programs, according to Gallegos. Last quarter, according to Dean of GraduateSchool Alan Ross, 331, or 55 per cent of the 599 graduate students attending Western were involved inmaster of education degree programs. Webb said once the screening committee has a list ofcandidates for the dean position this spring, a final choice should be made by next fall.

Meeting â€” Bahai firesidediscussion, 7:30 p.m., VU 360 by ROY TANAKA The banner promoting Rebecca Valrejean's "LavenderTroubadour" play was stolen from in front of the Viking Union early Sunday morning, and three suspectshave been identified. The suspects fled after being spotted by Safety and Security personnel on routinepatrol but one was apprehended going across campus with the banner under his arm. The individualshave been referred to the Vice President for Student Affairs Office. R.G. Peterson, director of campussecurity, said his department has recommended judicial action be taken. Security will file a complaint ifother parties involved do not, Peterson said. Under school policy, the suspects' names are beingwithheld. Unless the plaintiff(s) desires otherwise, subsequent hearings will be closed. The banner isowned by the Program Commission and is being held by Security as evidence. Valrejean, who wrote and presented the one-woman play as part of the Gay Symposium, said the Gay People's Alliance does notwant the individuals prosecuted. Rather, they would like to have them work in the GPA office "for a couple of weeks, answering phones or running errands. We'll think of something." Valrejean can't imagine whysomeone would want to rip the sign down. "Maybe they were so angered by the 'trash' that thety feltcompelled to save the campus. Or they might have wanted to play a practical joke on someone byputting it on their window. I don't know," she said. Lee Thompson, VU reservationist, said the GPA hasbeen a constant target of vandalism. "It almost seems like someone is trying to get back at them forsomething. But rather than confront them face-to-face, they do things like rip down signs," Thompsonsaid. "The interesting thing is that one of our night custodians saw three people by the banner, earlier inthe evening. One guy was standing on the other guys' shoulders and he appeared to have a pair ofscissors or a knife. The custodian yelled at them and they split. Whether they were the same people ornot, I don't know," he said. According to the Security report, the banner was "old and torn." It has notbeen determined if the banner was damaged before or after the incident. "I really don't know what isgoing to happen to the banner," said Thompson. "Last year, a banner was stolen and run over with a car.It got caught on the axle or something and was destroyed. At this point, we don't know if the banner canbe used again or not." Jack Smith, associate director of the VU, said the Program Commission has other banners. Foundation helps support college In 1965, Western finally got a foundation. It's not the kind offoundation most people think of such as concrete under buildings to keep them from tumbling down.This foundation works in much the same way. It keeps Western from falling apart financially. The title ofthe organization is WWSC Foundation and its purpose is to "cultivate" donors for Western. MichaelBarnhart, interim director of the non-profit, nonpartisan organization, has held that position since lastNovember. He says the Foundation has to "cultivate" or find donors because "people are prone to give to a particular endeavor than to Western." Although Barnhart admits that the foundation is in thebeginning stages, he says he is hopeful. "I'm very positive about raising funds." Barnhart added,"Given time and understanding, people are very generous." Funds given to the WWSC Foundation goto scholastic activity such as student scholarships and library book purchases. All graduates ofWestern are sent material asking ..for donations. According to Barnhart, the foundation usually has togo out and get donations instead of waiting for people to come to the foundation. Barnhart said it is toeveryone's advantage to give to the WWSC Foundation because "today the income tax laws aredesigned to encourage giving to a non-profit organiz-tion." Barnhart is a busy man, as interim director ofthe WWSC Foundation and other college related jobs including being an executive assistant to thepresident and a legislative liaison. r Misc. for sale FOR SALE: Reflex Super 8 Capro 400 Pwr.

Western's offense began to click when guard Charmon Odle scored sixpoints in the opening minutes of the second half to put Western ahead by 13. Western led, 30-20, at thehalf. Alaska pulled within seven with 12 minutes to go in the game, but a Vikette team effort produced 14 unanswered points, boosting Western to its biggest lead, 59-37. FOILED AGAIN â€” Charmon Odleputs a commanding hand on the ball during a jump as Dee Dee Molner gets set to make the grab.Freshman center Keri Worley grabbed a game-high 20 rebounds but Vikette season scoring leader JoniSlagle was held to just 12 points while contributing seven rebounds. Slagle picked up her fourth foul with14 minutes left in the game and sat out most of the second half. Reserve guard Ricky Mass, who filledSlagle's spot, scored eight of her 12 points in the second half and grabbed seven rebounds. "All ofWestern's players scored pretty evenly I think," said Alaska's coach Diann Aldrich. "We planned to holdSlagle down by boxing her in and it worked to some degree." The Nanooks, on their first road trip of theseason, were led by guard Gina Howard and forward Dianne Kennedy. Howard pulled down 10 reboundsand scored 14 points while Kennedy put in 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Howard fouled outwith 15 seconds left on the clock. "We're a pretty young team this year and we didn't have a goodshooting night," Aldrich said of the team's 26.8 percentage. "Western is one of the better teams we'veplayed. They run the ball well." The Alaskans, who have played the University of Washington, Universityof Oregon and Pacific Lutheran at home this year, will return to the Northwest later this month to playPortland State. Western fast breaks more than most teams we've played. We let them get easy buckets because we didn't have enough people down to cover the person under the basket," Kennedy explained. Vikette coach Lynda Goodrich said she was pleased with the second half and felt Western's rebounding had improved a little since last weekend's games with Central and Portland State. The Vikettescancelled their appearance at the Oregon State tournament in Corvallis this weekend. Wolves fameVikings, 64-63 by MKE THOMPSON Who needs a coach to win a basketball game? Obviously not theOregon College of Education's (OCE) Wolves as they defeated Western's varsity, 64-63, Tuesdaynight at Monmouth. Wolves' coach Bob McCul-lough did not show up for the game because of a case ofthe flu, but an assistant, Greg McMackin, successfully assumed coaching duties. Behind most of the game, Western displayed a nice comeback going into a full court press while trailing 58-45 with fourminutes left to play. Several turnovers caused by the Vik press helped narrow the gap. Vik center RobVis-ser's score from 15 feet out brought Western within one point of the Wolves, 60-59, with 52 seconds remaining on the clock. The Wolves made their next four points on foul shots by Cliff Wegner. GuardBrad Fuhrer scored a lay-in before Wegner's last two free throws, to keep the Viks within a point.After Wegner's final two free throws Western put the ball in play with eight seconds remaining.Visser's shot was good at he Stimula Condom.

Cagers meet arch-rival CentralSaturday night Although Western's varsity backslid in their bid for the Evergreen Conference (Evco)basketball championship when they lost to Oregon College of Education, they will attempt to stay incontention with wins ofer Eastern Oregon State College tonight and arch-rival Central Washingtontomorrow night. Both away games are crucial, not only for the championship, but also to insure an 18thconsecutive non-losing season for Western. The Vikings are 5-4 in conference action and 12-10 overall.Central suffered a 74-72 three overtime loss to conference leading Eastern Washington Tuesday night.Their 6-2 conference record places them in a tie for second place with Oregon Institute of Technology.Central's Wildcats are expecting a tight game with Western, according to Andy Kissling, sports editor forCentral's newspaper. The Wildcats have finished first in the Evco nine of the last 11 years, and won theNAIA District I title 10 out of the last 11 years. Following the weekend games Western will be on the road again when they take on Simon Fraser Tuesday night. the buzzer, but still a point shy of victory. Thiswas the third time in four years the Vikings lost to the Wolves by one point at Monmouth. One of thefew highlights for Western was Dave Wood's eight assists, which broke the season record of 170, set by Bob Nicol last year. Wood has 171 assists with four games left. Forward Greg Smith led Vik scorerswith 21 points and had 11 rebounds. Visser also had 11 rebounds and added 13 points. Wood andFuhrer each scored 12 points.

The apple pie was the 40th editionof the All-American Red Heads women's basketball team, a group of touring professional superstars who challenge men's teams across the country. The Red Heads' victims this time were the Super Studs, amake-shift team which included Sehome faculty, KPUG radio personalities, a member of the BellinghamPolice Department and Western's very own studs, Gary Gilmore, Bill Mendelson and Craig Nicholes. Inthe contest, sponsored by Sehome's freshman class, the Studs could not transfer their he-man nameinto winning baskets as they lost 81-61. The Red Heads in spirit are much the same as the HarlemGlobetrotters, with one basic exception â€” they must have red hair. Les Wrenn, the carrot toppers' 6-foot-4 coach, explained the background to the stipulation. "We want to project the image of the All-American girl, and red hair is characteristic of that," he said. But when asked if all the players were "true reds," Wrenn chuckled and said, "Well, all I can say is only their hairdresser knows for sure, but I'll talkto ANY ball players (about a spot on the team.)" Being a Red Head basketball player is more than justgoing out on a court in a striped red, white and blue uniform, performing entertaining antics and playing afun game. It is a long term, salaried job in which the gals are on the road for seven straight months, fromOctober to May. Though their wide smiles, outlined in fire engine red lipstick, don't show any fatigue, the team plays almost every night. They travel 60,000 miles through 40 states in one season â€” and that'seight people together in a 24-foot limousine. "But the girls wouldn't be here if they didn't enjoy it," Wrenndrawled in his North Carolina accent. "Six out of seven are recent college graduates from all over thecountry and probably just want to play ball for a while longer before raising a family or getting anotherjob." "Most girls write letters to our home office back in Arkansas asking for a tryout. Other players I find on the road during games and ask them if they would be interested in playing for us. "What we basicallylook for in a player is charm, personality, attitude, basketball ability and the ability to entertain a crowd."Wrenn said the Red Heads are engaged primarily in show business. "We play to entertain people," heexplained. "We play by the touring professional men's rules, which stipulate no zone defenses and nothree second count in the key. It makes it a much faster moving game." And how do the men react tothis? "Well, if the men realize the whole game is just a show and for fun and don't take it too seriously,then it's more fun for them, us and the crowds too," explained 5-foot-4 Marilyn "Ralph" Nelson, teamcomedienne. "But some guys really play all out. I remember we were at this big high school in Arizona,and I think we spent more time on the floor than standing up. The refs really thought it was funny."Ralph was the star of the show Monday night. When the mischievious, wide-eyed, freckle-faced guardwasn't crawling through someone's legs, she was on someone else's shoulder stuffing the ball. And yet,she still had time to score 20 points. But this wasn't enough to satisfy Wrenn. Even though the gamesare for fun, he still evaluates every game through his eyes as a basketball coach. "We had a very poorshooting night," he said scanning the scorebook after the game. "I really had to get on those girls a fewtimes tonight during time outs for their poor shooting." "Look at that . . . only 23 out of 40 shots," Wrennsaid disgustedly. "What is that, only about 54 per cent? Usually we shoot at least 75-80 per cent." "Weeven missed a lot of our specialized crowd pleaseis. What a poor shooting night," he repeated. "Maybelast night's lay-off was the problem." Whatever it was, despite their "fun" philosophy and their All-American goody-goody image, the world champion Red Heads aire still a basketball team and no doubtcaught hell from their coach that night. FOLLOW THE LEADER - Red Head Marilyn "Ralph" Nelson isfollowed by a Super Stud as they crawl through their teammates legs in Sehome Gym Monday night.Ruggers end losing streak byDANRALEY Former Front Sports Editor EUGENE â€” The Western Rugby Club's win famine has finally ended. A 7-6 edging of the University of Oregon (UO) here last Sundaybroke a 10-game losing streak for the Vik ruggers and let them taste victory for the first time since early October. By winning, the ruggers also earned a split on their two-game, four-day Oregon road trip.Oregon State University (OSU) walked all over Western 42-4 in a Friday meeting in Corvallis. In the UOmatch, the Viks had to come from behind to take the lead and then watch nervously as a Duckpenalty kick veered wide on the last play of the game. The Western second team dropped both of theircontests, losing 34-6 to OSU and 9-6 to Oregon. Don Daust took care of all the scoring for the Viks with a penalty kick, a tri and a conversion kick.

The Focusof Interest The new Nakamichi 500 Dual-Tracer was designed to be the most advanced two-headcassette deck ever made. From the standpoint of extended flat frequency response, noise, dynamicrange, wow flutter, and speed stability the Nakamichi 500 will outperform any other cassette recorderwith the exception of our own Tri-T racers. Nor is this surprising, for in creating the 500, Nakamichiengineers employed much of the advanced technology developed for the Tri-T racers. The tape transport,for example, uses a servo-controlled D.C. motor for rock-steady speed and features automatic end-off-tape shut-off with complete mechanical disengagement. But the real design triumph of the Nakamichi 500 is its Focused-Gap, a miracle of precision assembly. By critically maintaining a focused gap of 1.5microns, more signal can be put on the tape (particularly at high frequencies) with lower distortion. Andmaintaining this same critical width in playback, assures extended high frequency response to beyond17,000 Hz. A host of other features, such as Dolby NR circuitry, a three position tape selector and 45 dB peak level meters don't begin to tell the quality story of this extraordinary machine. For the best, you'llhave to listen and learn.

The fines were imposed after aDepartment of Labor and Industries investigation revealed violations of asbestos handling during a floortile replacement project. Sanding the tiles released the encapsulated asbestos, a carcinogen, into the air. University officials filed to appeal the fines, but decided to pay after the first informal hearing withDLI on Dec. 1. "During the first meeting, only four of the violations had been addressed in a period ofthree hours," said Peter Harris, physical plant director. "Further efforts spent on contesting this Lowry,Barrett to speak on campus By J im Thomsen staff reporter Seventh District U.S. Rep. Mike Lowry, D-Renton, will discuss basic constitutional rights, the budget and other local and national issues withWestern students at 2 p.m. today in the Library Presentation Room. The lecture by Lowry, whocurrently polls ahead of 3rd District U.S. Rep. Don Bonker as the leading candidate for RepublicanDan Evans' seat in the U.S. Senate, follows an appearance by former B.C. Premier David Barrett, whowill discuss his views on the recently signed U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement at noon in Lecture Hall 2. The talk is sponsored by Western's Political Science Club. Lowry, who has garnered more attentionfor his freshly shorn countenance than his stands on current issues, is an outspoken opponent of theReagan administ r a t i o n ' s buildup of defense weaponry and subsequent cuts in domesticspending. He also is a proponent of the free trade agreement, which Barrett, whose talk is entitled"The U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement: A Bum Deal For All?" vehemently opposes. According to a press release, Barrett promises a " l i v e l y and probably controversial" discussion about the tradepact. His views mirror those of many Canadian citizens, who feel the eliminated tariffs and lowered tradebarriers between the two countries will dilute Canadian culture and open the door for U.S. dominationof its northern neighbor. Barrett's views differ from those of the Canadian big businessestablishment, which stands to gain access to American markets 10 times the size of their own andexpand their current investment, production, trade and technological bases. Barrett, who served as aHarvard Fellow last fall, was B.C.'s premier from 1969 to 1975 and later the province's financeminister. He went on to serve as the MLA (Member of the Legislature) for the Vancouver EastElectoral District until 1984. Shortly after his visit to Western, he will assume teaching duties atMontreal's McGill University for the winter semester. He said he will get back into politics and expects to be a candidate for national office in the 1988 Canadian Federal elections. Following the lecture, the first in Western's Artist and Lecture Series, Barrett will participate in a 3 p.m. faculty forum at CanadaHouse. Lowry also has been invited to participate. The forum is s p o n s o r e d by W e s t e r n 'sCanadian-American Studies Program.

"That fine was $2,100, and in our view the Department of Labor and Industries personnel were as much in error as was the universityby not ensuring that the area was immediately closed, rather than posting the building closed the dayafter the department had reached the decision to Pete Kendall do so," Harris said. "At the informalconference with the DLI," he said, "university and DLI personnel acknowledged that both parties hadneglected to remember the custodial staff would ordinarily enter the building after regular closing hours to perform duties.

Curtis J. Dalrymple has been appointed to the position of acting executive director ofdevelopment for the Western Foundation. Dalrymple was appointed on a part-time interim basis byActing Western President Al Froderberg. He is filling the vacancy left when Jeanene DeLille was killed in a Nov. 4 plane crash. Dalrymple was serving as vice president to the Western Foundation at the time of the appointment. He also has served as the foundation's treasurer and was a member of its Boardof Directors. Dalrymple was a member of the university's Board of Trustees from 1978 to 1985, servingas chairman from 1980 to 1984. He graduated from Western in 1973 with an accounting degree beforebecoming involved with the Western Foundation, a nonprofit corporation independent of the universityaimed at supporting and assisting Western in soliciting contributions from the public toward universityadvancement. One recent acquisition was an argon ion laser for the physics and astronomydepartment's optics lab. The foundation sponsors fund-raising activities, such as the holiday bazaar that took place last month at the Old Main Registration Center. Profits from such sales go to scholarships and grants for students and faculty members. This month the foundation will host the Chili Cook-Off,which late President G. Robert F.oss began and made popular with his famous entries. Dalrymple isreplacing Ross as the chairman of the event. "The Chili Cook-Off will still go on, bigger and better thanbefore," Dalrymple said, "even though some of the main players won't be there anymore." ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢HHkHHCHl Dollar gripe box awaitsstudents Got a gripe about financial aid?

Bids in for cash machine By Erin Earles staff reporter Western's purchasing office currently isreceiving bids from banks for the proposed cash machine at Western, said Trent Wheatley,Associated Students secretary-treasurer. The cash machine, first proposed last fall, should beinstalled in the Viking Union sometime in February, Wheatley said after the AS Board meetingWednesday. A committee, which has been examining the acquisition of the cash machine, will meetJan. 12 to consider the bids submitted. Late fall quarter, after weeks of discussion, the AS reached anagreement with the university that the best place for the cash machine would be in the VU, that themachine would have a trial run of one year and that Plaza Cashier would receive half of the revenues from the machine, with the remainder going into the Housing and Dining fund. Plaza Cashier, funded by theu n i v e r s i t y , would lose an estimated $15,000 during the year to the cash machine and wouldreceive only several hundred dollars from the machine, Wheatley said. Wheatley added, however, that the profits from the machine would be in the form of student convenience and increased sales atcampus stores and eateries such as Plaza Pizza.

Campus coffee shops will provide papercups for three cents more than styrofoam cups in an effort to protect the environment. P a p e r cupscould replace styrofoam cups spring quarter if food service officials receive positive student reaction."Quite frankly, I would like to see a styrofoam-free campus," said Mark Freeman, manager of the VikingUnion eateries. Freeman joined with Associated Students board members Jeff Chandler and EricRichey to implement the change. Chandler said if the change is successful the AS Board couldsubmit a proposal to the Board of Trustees to ban styrofoam use on campus. "As a university, weshould set an example and stand against styrofoam," Chandler said. Organizers of the campaign saythe effort can help protect the ozone layer that protects the earth from cancer-causing ultraviolet light.Edward Neuzil, Western chemistry professor, said polystyrene is "fluffed up" by gasses to producestyrofoam. Polystyrene is released into the atmosphere during manufacturing, he said. Neuzil saidpolystyrene also may be leached out of styrofoam cups containing hot beverages. The polymers collectin the liver.

"Paraffin-coated paper cups present a much better solution," he said.Environmental Protection Agency figures show that a 1 percent drop in the ozone could cause 20,000additional skin cancer cases in the United States. The EPA predicts 800,000 people will die within the next generation because of ozone depletion. The University of Washington implemented a partial ban on styrofoam bowls, plates and glasses in dining halls early December. Chinaware dishes will replace most styrofoam ware in the dining halls. However, styrofoam cups, hamburger containers and diningware for "to go" food will remain in the UW dining halls. Evergreen Community College bannedstyrofoam cups from its campus last year. Freeman said it's the only campus in Washington that hasbanned all use of styrofoam. The ban, however, caused some inconvenience to students, Freeman said. Paper cups won't protect hands from hot coffee, tea or chocolate. "The problems are when people graba hot beverage in a paper cup. They are burning themselves, dropping the cup or putting it down in thecash lines," Freeman said. Campus coffee shops also would have to buy new cup dispensers for thedifferent-sized paper cups. "We'll have to find out what the problems are here," Freeman said. FoodServices Director Frank Diaz agreed to provide paper cups, at a price increase of three cents. Styrofoam cups will be offered at the regular price. "It's important for us not to make a decision for the wholecampus," Chandler said. "We'll let the consumer make the choice." 1210 E.

UniversityPolice Lt. Chuck Page said someone entered the building between 6 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. Sunday, stole several keys and drove off in the 1978 Ford pickup. Page said the university-owned vehicle wasnot in the best condition and added the suspects probably stole it for its hydraulic lift or to use it forspare parts. The truck had a university decal on both doors, he said. The vehicle was self-insured, which means the estimated $2,500 to $3,000 loss will have to come out of the AS budget, Jeff Chandler, AS vice president for internal affairs, said. Chandler said he believed the suspects may have been familiarwith the building because they were able to find the box where the keys were kept. He said theyprobably drove off in the first vehicle they came to that worked, and threw the rest of the keys in thegrass outside the building. Center coordinator Jim Madison discovered the truck missing when he came to work Sunday morning, Chandler said. He then called the police. Page said the police have checkedseveral areas where vehicles often turn up but have found nothing yet. They are still investigating theincident.

"We recognize theuniversity's decision to pay as an admission to the charges that DLI filed against them," Bill Chervenock, union representative for 180 campus employees, said. "We had overwhelming evidence that we didn't need to bring out in the first meeting," Chervenock said. Chervenock said Western and union officials still are working out a grievance settlement for those employees who were exposed to asbestos andfor the union to have a voice in future policy. "At this stage the university has agreed to pay the fines.We have taken this as a conciliatory gesture," Joe Mackie, union representative for the grievancecommittee, said. "We are pleased that they have come around and are willing to sit down and drawup a new and effective asbestos abatement policy," Mackie said. "I'd be really surprised if the incidentsimilar to the one in Carver Gym would happen again." Harris said a new procedure has been drafted tobetter address asbestos management and is being reviewed by DLI and employee representatives. "The draft has been distributed and I will be taking comments until January 13," Dennis Smith, Westernsafety, en- .viromental and waste manager, said. Smith said he hoped to have the new policy completed by Jan. 15 and implemented no later than Jan. 22. "One aspect to be addressed is a means to ensurethat work stops when asbestos is discerned and appropriate follow-up measures are taken," Harris said.

The money came from federal, state and private sources for use in facultyand student research, equipment, workshops and other programs. Nearly $3.5 million was dished outby the state's Department of Social and Health Services, which awarded unassigned grants to Western.The money hadn't yet been allocated to specific departments. Faculty Research Geri Walker,assistant director at Western's Bureau for Faculty Research, said some of the unassigned grantmoney goes to help fund programs such as Western's Shannon Point Marine Center and for suchthings as interviewing skills workshops. Bill Clement of the bureau has received three grants from thestate's DSHS totaling more than $3.3 million. A $1.1 million grant from DSHS titled "CommunityServices Training 1987-89" will provide education materials, skills training and teaching to the state'schild protective services. DSHS looks to universities rather than to private agencies to train, educateand implement new p r o g r a m s , Clement said.

Part of the grant money will be spent on transportation, living and small salaryexpenses for Ted Burger, a Huxley graduate student, and two undergraduate research assistantsfrom Huxley. " I t ' s well known that the grants give the students hands-on experience and the studentswill probably be more competitive in the job market," Kendall said. "(The grants) educate and trainstudents in the scientific process, and I think that's pretty critical." Math The state's Superintendent ofPublic Instructor's office provided Western's math department with $25,974 to improve the level ofteaching in grades kindergarten through 12 in classrooms within a 50-mile radius of Bellingham. Themoney also pays for one teacher from each participating school to attend bi-weekly workshops atWestern, supplies and materials needed for the research, a monthly newsletter and a conferenceplanned next spring at Western involving hundreds of math teachers who work north of the Seattle area.The program involves one student who is an assistant for Jerry Johnson of Western's mathdepartment, who received the grant, and one student who is doing her student teaching in theprogram. Johnson said about half of the teachers participating are Western graduates.

CALL 676-3161 ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 6 ---------- 6 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 Mackerel boasts unconventional news By Alison Major staff reporter Holy Mackerel, Batman, Fair-haven College is producing a publication for anyone to say anything they want. The newspaper, the Wholly Mackerel, is in its first year of publication and isgrowing in its variety of articles. "It's totally Fairhaven, and the structure of Fairhaven is such thateveryone is allowed to be themselves," contributer Connie Stone said. Founder Dan Keeganoriginally began publishing the Tuna News last year with hopes it would bring Fairhaven students andfaculty closer together, he said. Keegan said the Tuna News was intended to serve as acommunication network to get or give help on projects or to let people know about an event orexperience. Since last year the paper has changed its name to the Wholly Mackerel and incorporatedpoems, fiction and other non-news items through its inclusive policy that promises to publish allsubmitted items within legal mandates. To protect itself and the college, the paper does not printlibelous or pornographic material, Keegan said. Wholly Mackerel editors said the newsletter offers aservice most newspapers don't provide: guaranteed space for ideas. Letricia Flerchinger, who has beena staff member on The Western Front, said she likes the Wholly Mackerel because it eliminates editorial bias of information released to the public. "My experience on the Front is that they tell you what towrite GET YOUR FAVORITE DC COMICS AT: Comic Patrol in Aladdin's Lamp Antique Mall 1318 BaySt. Bellingham, WA 647-0066 open 7 days a week ^fc gt;1329 Railroad Xv^S 734-7825 V .

Another feature in the Fairhaven publication unusual to most periodicals is it has nodecisionmaking board or person and does not correct grammar and spelling errors. Stone said this iswhat keeps, the publication running strong. "They can say what they want, and if cussing happens to be in their vocabulary, that's fine ... there are no restrictions, and you're allowed to do something where inother places you have to keep looking to find someplace that'll allow you to do it." Stone said last yearshe wrote The Front about something twice with no success of having her letters published. ButKeegan says the Wfiolly Mackerel makes one stipulation with submitted stories: stories exceedingthe space available will be cut. Usually the decision for what to take out of a story is made by the layoutcrew, he added. At least six people meet twice a week to discuss their individual material for theupcoming issue and help lay it out for printing. Anyone interested in participating-is welcome. Eachperson views his or her job differently because the paper serves individual purposes. Stone likes to tellpeople little-known facts and present the information in a humorous way. In the Oct. 19 issue she tellsthe story of why Yankee Doodle called the feather in his hat "macaroni" in the popular folk song. Shefound out macaroni was another word for "fashionable" in the days when the song was written. Typicalof Stone's column, "Facts Don't Do What You Want Them To," this information was expanded to a story where she has someone describing a hat as the "macaroniest." "My inspiration is anything that isfunny and real and shocking," she says, comparing her style to the syndicated columnist MikeMailway. Jackie VanderMolen designs graphics for the Wholly Mackerel for credit. She says not only isshe benefiting by getting two credits for her contributions, but the practice is helping build her skill.Sunny Day types up the handwritten stories, articles, poems, classifieds and other submissions. Shesays although nobody is assigned to cover a Fairhaven event, usually somebody will write about it forthe newspaper. The publication is available for free at the Fairhaven College Post Office.

Webster staff reporter At first glance, it may seem AlFroderberg does not enjoy being the president of Western. He admitted he never really wanted to sitbehind the president's oak desk. "Each day, I come into this office, light a cigarette and pause to thinkabout how I feel," Froderberg said. "I feel empty inside, as if my emotions have been drained from me." Froderberg has been appointed to serve as interim presi-dent of W e s t e r n u n t i l a permanentreplacement for the late G. Robert Ross is found. Ross and two Western vice presidents were killed in aplane crash last November. For most, the pain of the tragedy has faded. Froderberg, however, continues to grieve while he works to rebuild Western. "When I first heard the plane was missing, I lit a cigaretteand smoked it as I hoped the plane would be found," Froderberg said. "I must have smoked three packs that day." When he first learned of Ross' death, Froderberg said everything around him fell cold andsilent, almost as if he were about to fall asleep. Froderberg slouched in his chair and lowered hishead as he closed his eyes to pause in silence. Slowly, he raised his head and fixed his eyes on thewall across from his desk. "I could not walk, talk or move. I couldn't even feel. Then the silence gaveway to intense anger, frustration and confusion. I felt sorrow, especially for Ross' family. I felt likescreaming. Then I wept." Froderberg has since settled into his position as interim president and saidhis job will be to help rebuild the university and its administration. He admitted that will be difficult, butsaid he expects a new president to be named this spring. Froderberg has been at Western fornearly two decades. He came to Western from the University of Washington to teach-in themathematics department and also helped establish the computer science department. When he came to Western in the '60s, it was a time for expansion and growth for the university, Froderberg said.University students began to exercise their right to protest and began to speak out against socialinjustice and work for peace. "My students seemed to be more concerned about the Vietnam war and Martin Luther King than learning math," Froderberg said. "Some students even brought signs to classwith them." Today, students are more interested in themselves, Froderberg said. "Now I'll bet nostudent would march for Central America, at least not before he finished his homework." Froderbergsaid he enjoys mathematics and takes great Acting Western President Al Froderberg Pete Kendallpleasure in teaching students to solve problems. "Mathematics is at the root of everything, and itteaches us to reason in logical ways. That's a great help when one is trying to solve problems." Afterleaving the math department and moving into Old Main, Froderberg worked as a special assistant toRoss for state and legislative relations in Olympia. Froderberg stayed in Olympia when the legislaturewas in session to gain support for Western among the legislators. Froderberg worked with RossGreyhound. More places, more often. At the right price.

He helped gain the legislative support needed to build the newArt- Technology building and also worked to create one of the largest budgets that Western has had inseven years. "Of course there are always things that we do not get but would like to have," Froderbergsaid. "And I have come home disappointed many times, but I just keep on trying." Froderberg'sresponsibilities as interim president have prevented him from returning to the legislature this year. Anew legislative liaison has been appointed and has assumed Froderberg's duties in Olympia.Froderberg expects to return to his former position as soon as a new, permanent president hasbeen selected. "I want to be in Olympia this year, because I think we have a lot to do," he said.Froderberg said the two most important legislative goals for Western are to secure funding for a newscience building to replace Haggard Hall and to prepare a budget for the 1990-92 state budget. When he is not in the president's chair or lobbying on behalf of Western in the state legislature, Froderberg said he enjoys reading novels and math books. "My favorite novelist is William Faulkner, because he'sable to make me see all sides of a situation. His writing is very rich and expressive. It's startling that Ido read math books. I just love math. That's where it's really at." Froderberg said he sometimes staysafter hours in Old Main to read math books and solve math problems while he eats blackberry pieprepared by his wife, Mary. "Math and blackberry pie go together, because there's a step-by- stepprocess in making both of them. Everything has to be just right, or it doesn't work. I would rather not sitbehind Robert Ross' desk because I am reminded of how I got there, but a slice of blackberry pie and agood math book help to ease the pain." Welcome Back Western Students!

These changes are just the beginning, say supporters of the Outback. Community member Mike Melim recently submitted to Fair-haven Dean Dan Larner a land-use proposal designed to transform the five-acre organic gardening project southof the Fairhaven residence halls into an efficient and viable example of sustainable agriculture. Melim, aformer landscaper now in the construction business, has been involved with the Outback project forseven years. He donated the majority of labor and materials used to build a new O u t b a c k sign,stage and promenade area, the seed beds and the beginning of the new fence. He became involved with the farm, he said, "Because I walked past it one day and it said 'help me. The economic backbone ofthe proposal is an idea to renovate the existing barn into a produce stand and possibly a small coffeeshop with an organic salad bar. According to the plan, this would be the hub of all commercial activityand a source of hands-on experience for business-management and food-handling courses. DeniseAckert, an Outback student majoring in environmental studies, lives on the farm in one of the cabinsand is involved in the changes taking place. She sees the project as an opportunity to develop a schoolprogram in sustainable agriculture that could serve the community. Sustainable agriculture uses energy-efficient organic methods to provide a safe and stable source of food, not only for the present occupantsof the land, but for future generations. Evidence indicates that agriculture as it is practiced today maynot be sustainable ecologically because of the use of pesticides and fertilizers. "I really feel that partof the reason that we, as a society, are so freaked out is our lack of connection to the earth," shecontinued. The Outback could be a resource, a gathering place to bring the community together on ahuman level, producing food as well as having festivals and dances, she said. A major stumbling block to such goals is a lack of funding, Ackert said. The Outback needs a farm manager because students are too busy with school to Drganize projects, she added. The fact that the Outback Farm is designated asa parking lot on a master plan of the south campus is not an issue at this time and has nothing to dowith the lack of available funds, Ackert said. Acting manager for facilities Rick Benner said the parkinglot proposal is very long-range and would be implemented only if the university's population reached12,000 or more. Ackert said she may seek alternative funding sources such as federal grants ordonations from a non-profit organization called "Friends of the Outback." The proposal, whichdescribes the condition of the existing facilities, also includes ideas for an office in the barn, acommunity (pea-patch) garden, terraced beds on the farm's west hillside and a fire pit. Ackertcautioned that the ideas are tentative and will need some revision. " B u t , " she said, " i t ' s awonderful start in terms of, what do we have, what are we working with and where do we want to go?"Faces of AIDS': Pho By Alana Warner staff reporter Sixty pairs of life-like eyes gaze at you and seemto follow your every move. Most of these eyes, captured in photographs of the faces of people withAIDS, do not project a sense of despair, but rather a feeling of hope. The Viking Union Gallery exhibitof this portrait collection, entitled "Faces of AIDS," opens tonight with a reception from 1-9 and isscheduled to run until 26 in conjunction with A Awareness Week from Jan. 25 Californian photographerWigler, inspired when sever; his friends contracted the de disease, sought and received f ing for theproject from the New Chrysalis Gallery show mirrors artists' self-p By Terry Keenan staff reporter TheSecond Annual Self- Portrait Show opened last night in the Chrysalis Gallery in Fair-haven, featuringworks by art students, graduates and staff. "It is mixed media: paintings, drawings and clay. We haveone photograph and one piece of fabric art. It's a good composite show of how people view or portraythemselves. The art runs from very realistic to abstract," gallery manager Renee Hudak said. Westernart student Zena Nottingham submitted a self-portrait she did before the show was announced. She saidit was a spontaneous piece done from memory that took a few of hours to complete. Her abstractdrawing is harsh and stark, depicting a split personality with two different haircuts. "It is like a 4-year-old going berserk with pastels. It is an expressionisticly-done self-portrait. I haven't done anything loose, itisn't classicly drawn. There is no blending," Nottingham said. Traditionally, pastels are worked into the paper. Nottingham said she enjoyed doing the self-portrait more than anything else she has done. "It is a real visual piece and a concrete way to show how I feel about the stress I've been under."

Michael Villanueva, analyst for the San Francisco peninsula department, said theexhibit is an "educational and artistic piece that reminds us of the human dimension of the AIDS virus."The intent of the project is basically a health education project against AIDS," he said. "It's a way ofshowing people how devastating the disease is, making people who aren't around AIDS more aware. " I'm very happy with the response we've received so far," he continued. "I'd like to commend theuniversity (Western) for wanting the exhibit. It's strong support for the battle against AIDS." VU GalleryDirector Joice Denend read a review of the exhibit in The Oregonian and was intrigued by thepossibility of bringing the show to Bellingham. The handling fee of $500, however, was more than herbudget allowed. Denend said she consulted several other campus organizations she believed mightbe interested in supporting the exhibit, ultimately procuring the financial assistance of 12 of them.Different groups had different reasons for sponsoring the exhibit, Denend said. The Sex Information Office is interested in preventing the spread of AIDS through unsafe sex and will distribute condoms andinformational pamphlets at the VU Gallery. The Cross Cultural Center is aware AIDS can affect allcultures. The Drug Information Center is concerned with the intravenous contraction of AIDS, and theart department respects the exhibit as aesthetically pleasing work. Denend said she wasemotionally moved by the exhibit. "I feel really bad for these people because they have ideas andgoals just like everyone else does. They just happened to 'run across' this disease." Bryan Fujimoto,coordinator of the Sexual Minorities Center, shared a similar experience. "It was really powerful," hesaid. "The people in there were very near our age and generation, and some of them are dead." Thepeople in the portraits who have since died are denoted by black ribbons hung in the top right corner oftheir pictures. In addition, each photo is accompanied by a quote from the patient or, in the case ofsome of those who have died, a close acquaintance. The quotes are diverse, ranging from 57-year-old Daniel Witt's, "I look forward to each day, but I know better than to count on it," to David Pierce, 46,who said "The AIDS crisis has created the opportunity for uniting us instead of separating us; it alsohelps us to focus on the positive in life." Photographer Jim Wigler said, by telephone from California,that taking the actual portraits was difficult and depressing. "A lot of them came in wheelchairs and were very ill," he said. "It was very important to show just their faces on a neutral background. Iwanted to show that they were human and not diseased." People who get AIDS are not freaks or anumber, he said. Each face has its own story. "Society should not be afraid of people with AIDS - don'tuse" Victim,' it has a negative connotation. We are more dangerous to them than .they are us," hestressed. "We are carrying all sorts of germs and viruses that our immunity systems protect us from,but to them they can be deadly. "They're human beings caught up in a terrible tragedy. No one asks forAIDS. No one deserves AIDS." rceptions "It is very expressionistic. It took about one hour to do. Ilooked in the mirror mostly," he said. Sodt's piece was created in 1984 during fine art graduate studiesat Central Washington University. Ian Voorhees contributed 19 sketches on sketchbook paper thatdepict the artist at work. Each sketch details the same basic facial expresssion, yet each is subtlydifferent. Number 14 is simply labeled "I'm Done." Morgan Dicus offers a large self-portrait done in black, white and yellow. The combination of the colors and the extreme close-up nature of the work provesunflattering to the artist. The viewer becomes acutely aware of his or her own flaws while gazing at the artist's. Despite the discomfort, a friendly presence oozes from the drawing. The show runs through Jan. 28. Gallery hours are Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday 6 to 9 p.m. ChrysalisGallery is located on the second floor of Fairhaven College. Gene loves Jezebel's latest effort lacksraw quality of pained howling, whining By Alana Warner staff reporter "The House of Dolls," Gene LovesJezebel's fourth piece of vinyl, does not hold up under the needle. Once upon a time, a pair of twinsnamed Mike and J. Aston fronted an obscure band from Wales called Gene Loves Jezebel. Their first two albums were available only in the import bin of the local record store. (Import discs are always the best,as they are often encased in that terrific, loose, crinkled cellophane and are devoid of those annoyingUPC bars.) Gene Loves Jezebel House of Dolls CEVItW Alternative music listeners' first exposure tothe band came after songs from its second album, "Immigrant," began gracing the airwaves. Thosewho bought the disk discovered a delectable blend of Welsh wails, indiscernible lyrics and creativemusical arrangements. Intrigued by the group's unique sound, record collectors sought out its firstrelease entitled "Promise." This album proved to be just as impressive as "Immigrant," possessing anunpolished, raw quality with even more pained howling. This is the stuff that big-haired, black-shroudednight creatures' dreams are made of â€” beautiful, androgynous men adorned with beads and brocade,whining unintelligibly about "skinny bodies" and rhinoplasty. Gene Loves Jezebel's third attempt,"Discover," spewed forth two singles with accompanying videos. "Heartache" and "Desire" combineddeliberate hooks with danceable beats, while maintaining the group's subtle, less-than-accessible musical image. An accompanying American tour enabled fans to get a closer glimpse of Mike and J.'s perpetualposing and pawing (if, of course, one could see over the person's tall and teased coiffure in front of her.) Attempting to please the public will put a group into an entirely new category - the unbands. Too normalfor the progressives, yet too progressive for the normals, the group will impress no one. The band'scurrent followers will become former fans, declaring, "I knew about them when they were good," or, "I used to like them." Some bands can make the transition with ease. A couple of years ago, no one had everheard of The Cure. Now Bob Smith's smeared lipstick and black hairbush adorn posters and (gasp!) evencalendars Sure, some hardcore devotees will be perturbed by this sudden rise in popularity, but thequality of The Cure's music hasn't been compromised. Once innovative and unique, Gene LovesJezebel's music has become hopelessly inundated with pop cliches and dull arrangements. Theirmixed voices are more controlled, and (heaven forbid) you can understand what they're singing. Where'sthe fun in that? "1 know what I want, and I know how to get it. So come on, baby, let's do it again," (fromthe current single "The Motion of Love"). "Oh, pretty baby, when I walk through the door, you'll bewondering what I did it for. Tell me, darlin', tell me please, why you miss me so badly," (from"Suspicion"). This is ostensibly obnoxious drivel posing as lyrical content. As for the album's musicalmerit, it registers an unthreatening zero on the Richter scale. The guitar hooks are pathetically predictable and uninspiring, as are the mundane drum pulses. It's all just a.little too precise and contrived. ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 Border Patrol questions CARA worker, seizes vehicleBy Jeff Keeling staff reporter A trip to the bus station to send three Guatemalan refugees to theCanadian border Nov. 23 took an unexpected turn for Shirley Osterhaus, Catholic Campus Ministerfrom Western's Shalom Center. Osterhaus, a leader of the Central American Refugee Association,expected to see the three off and drive home. She eventually saw them off, but she didn't drive home.After purchasing tickets for the trio and checking their baggage, Osterhaus said United States BorderPatrol officer Kevin Smith approached them all and asked them to go to his office for questioning. During questioning Smith reminded Osterhaus that she had been warned last year it was illegal to transportundocumented aliens, and told her the Border Patrol was seizing her car as an instrument of crime. iSay it up i FRONT \ Advertise with us! j ^676:3161J BARBRA STREISAND ,â€”, EVES ONLY j yCALL THEATER FOR SHQWTIMES NUT5 Walt Disney's "CINDERELLA" SAT/SUN MATS ONLY MT.BAKER 106 N.

I j j t b.'B-CSCO "They said they would notprosecute me at this point," Osterhaus said. "But he let me know that if they ever caught me again, they would,prosecute me and I would probably end up in jail." Osterhaus has taken the case to U.S. District Court, where a decision probably won't be made for at least a year. "Immigration gave me a copy of the law when I left which clearly says it's illegal to transport undocumented aliens in furtherance ofviolation of the law... and my claim is that we were not in furtherance of violation of the law, becausewe were not trying to further their illegal status here but rather to hand them over to immigrationauthorities to get legal documentation." Osterhaus said the Border Patrol processed the three, givingthem temporary legal status, during the questioning. That afternoon they were taken back to the busstation in her car so they could continue to Canada. From the Border Patrol's Blaine office, Sam Holden, U.S. Border Patrol Deputy Chief Patrol Agent, said statements Osterhaus made during questioningindicate the car had been used in violation of Section 274 of 18 USC 1324. "Any person who knows that a person is an alien and transports or moves them is in violation of this section of the law," Holden said. He said Smith thought, from speaking to the Guatemalans and Osterhaus, that her car had been usedin furtherance of a crime. Osterhaus said she was aiding the refugees because their chances of gettingamnesty are much greater in Canada than in the U.S. According to a General Accounting Office report,in 1986, 7 percent of Salvadorans and 1.6 percent of Guatemalans applying for political amnesty in theU.S. were accepted. For Soviets, this number was 76 percent, and for Nicaraguans it was 60 percent."Just because someone is coming from a nation where there's some strife," Holden said, "that doesn'tmean they can just come into the United States without documentation. That person carries theburden to present themselves as a refugee." Osterhaus cited the U.N. Geneva Convention and the 1980Refugee Act, both of which claim that refugees have a right to safety when they are fleeing their owncountry for reasons of persecution and war. "I believe that they are political refugees," she said."Sanctuary workers in the United States strongly believe they are political refugees after hearing theirstories, yet the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), supported by our government, says theyare economic refugees and so don't have a right to safety in this country and so ought to be deported."Holden said Border Patrol no longer is involved in the car's status, other than providing the court with arationale for the seizure if called upon to do so. "I know very clearly I am following the law of theU.N. Geneva convention, I am very much abiding by the 1980 Refugee Act, and along with that, as Isaid to the INS, I am following what I am strongly committed to as the law of Jesus," Osterhaus, aFranciscan Sister, said. "We're going to continue to do what we need to do to see that these refugeesget safety," she added. This may prove more difficult in the near future. Osterhaus said a law in theworks in Canadian Parliament would greatly increase the difficulty for refugees from these countries toreceive amnesty. "The work has continued," Osterhaus said, "and what I and the whole group feelreally good about is that the presence of these refugees has made a very definite positive impact on thiscommunity. "People who knew nothing about the situation in those countries have become aware of where these countries are and of what our own government is doing down there."

Seventy-five students are attending Western this year as adirect result of the annual $186,000 Western's Upward Bound receives from the U.S. Department ofEducation. The students were contacted by Bernie Thomas, director of the Upward Bound program atWestern, or his co-workers as early as the students' sophomore year in high school. A student mustcome from a low income family or be the first one in the family to attend college. High schoolcounselors, teachers, church groups and Upward Bound comprise a network that selects the students who would benefit most from the program. This network chooses Western's Upward Boundstudents from more than 2,000 qualified students north of Seattle. The yearly grants from the USDEprovide the necessary money to spend about $3,600 per year for each student. Tutoring, studying skillsand cultural enrichment are provided to Upward Bound students while they are still in high school.Upward Bound's goal is to - "provide needed motivation for students to complete high school, go tocollege and complete college," Thomas said. "We provide the students with a kick when they need it." Once in college, students in the program are provided with a helping hand to deal with stress andmaking the change of living on their own an easy one. Small group tutoring, help wfth learning disabilities and personal development classes are also provided to the student. "A lot of these programs werebuilt out of the civil rights era," Thomas said. "We work with individual students needs and provide forthem." Upward Bound students also go to "summer school" for six weeks every summer that they arein the program. Room and board is provided to the student, who lives for the six-week summer sessionin a residence hall at Western. In the afternoon, students may listen to a speaker talk about improvingone's interpersonal skills, and in the evening take a field t r i p to S e a t t l e for a Mariners' baseballgame. "The students get the feeling of college before school starts," Thomas said. "They experiencethat 'learning is fun' for the first time. "Friendship plays a large role in Upward Bound. The instructors are not here for the money...I can tell you that. They're here because they care," he said. "The money (from USDE) is just a physical tool. It's the network and care that provide the most to the program."PICTURE SHOw[ 1209 11TH 7 9 EVES 4:30 MAT. SAT. SUN. ENDS SOON!

Osterhaus said she anticipated buying them tickets to the U.S.-Canadian border wherethey could declare themselves political refugees. But a United States Border Patrol officer stopped thefour and seized the car for knowingly transporting undocumented aliens. U.S. immigration laws make ittough on some Central American refugees. Government agencies like the Immigration and NaturalizationService can be selective when deciding who it will classify as a political refugee. The trend, in fact, is toallow refugees fleeing socialist governments amnesty. They need it more; they're fleeing evil. Refugeesfleeing God-fearing democratic governments, on the other hand, which have the Reagan Brigade's seal ofapproval, don't find entry so accessible. Just look at the numbers. In 1986, 1.6 percent of Guatemalans and 7 percent of Sal-vadorans applying for political amnesty were allowed to stay in the United States,according to a General Accounting Office report. Guatemala and El Salvador, which both operate underdemocratic processes, have the Reagan Administration's support. Democrats don't torture people. Thesame report indicates that percentages were much .higher for refugees from socialist-ruled countries whowere granted amnesty. We allowed 76 percent of Soviets, 52 percent of Syrians and 60 percent ofNicaraguans to stay in 1986. Consequently, refugees from Guatemala head for Canada, which has muchmore slack immigration laws. Osterhaus has taken her case to the U.S. District Court. She may neversee the car again, but that isn't the point. Until the Reagan Administration opens its collective eyes andrealizes that it supports governments that maim and torture just like those nasty socialists, largenumbers of Guatemalans and Sal-vadorans will continue to sneak up 1-5, hoping to make it to Canada,where they'll have at least a fair chance to be granted political asylum. And Americans will continue toaid them. Madonna stands tall in ancestral home Â¥X7"ell, we've all seen her in her underwear. Now, wemight * * get to see her in bronze.

Furthermore, past confrontations and breakdowns in nucleararms talks between the two nations give the INF treaty the appearance of being a "landmark" inarms control. This pact, however, is really nothing mofe than an "inevitable conciliation," best describedas a publicity prize that world leaders Reagan and Gorbachev could return to their political parties with.Inevitably, citizens in both nations hoped for much more during the summit than the INF pact, Douglas Buell News Editor which would call for the removal of all intermediate-range nuclear missiles. Over thenext three years, the superpowers will be required to scrap about 2,700 missiles with rangesbetween 315 and 3,125 miles, roughly 4 percent of the total number of all missiles. This token ofcooperation between the two nations has been given so much significance, though, that itovershadows other issues which received little discussion and analysis during the summit, including SDI, Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf, Nicaragua and conventional forces in Europe. The ReaganAdministration, still healing from its wounds following the Iran-Contra scandal and failure to seat twojudges nominated to the Supreme Court, had little leverage in reaching an agreement with the Soviets.Gorbachev faces the same scrutiny at home for his programs of glasnost (openness) and perestroika(restructuring). The INF treaty still needs ratification, both by the U.S. Senate and the Soviet Politburo,scheduled later this month. While Reagan has publically stated that it is a near certainty the senate willratify the pact, other conservatives led by Rep. Jack Kemp of New York, a Republican presidentialhopeful, said yesterday they plan to present allegations that the Soviets were violating the treaty "even before the ink was dry," according to The Washington Post. A Squeaky-clean getaway- Manson buddy hits the road Last month, Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli soldiers, who shot back with live bullets,and Ron and Mikhail dined together on Columbia River salmon; but it was a valiant, solitary attemptat freedom that gripped this nation's soul like nothing since Baby Jessica, or maybe that five-organ-transplant kid in Pittsburgh. Yes, I'm alluding to Squeaky's short-lived life on the lam. For those of youwho don't recall life before MTV, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was (and probably still is) a lieutenant inthe army of her guru Charles "Don't Call Me Chuck" Manson. She is serving- a life sentence in a WestVirginia federal "corrections facility" for attempting to assassinate Gerald Ford in 1975. (Contrary tosome reports, the shot didn't pass through the motor-control area of Ford's brain.) Anyway, Squeakywas whiling Jeff Keeling Accent Editor away her time in the Mountain State, awaiting the day whendeath would reunite her and Chuck. Apparently a model prisoner, she had refused an offer for a parole in1985. As an Associate Warden reportedly said, she seemed O.K., but she was kind of strange.Imagine that. But on the night of Dec. 23, Squeaky scaled an eight-foot high barbed wire fence, dodgeda hail of machine gun fire while avoiding numerous land mines and booby traps, and disappeared intothe woods. (Actually, only the barbed wire fence and disappearing parts are true, but the rest soundsgood.) The country held its collective breath as this scrappy trooper eluded a massive search in herapparent attempt to strike a blow for religious freedom. You see, authorities speculate that Squeakyhad heard unconfirmed rumors that Manson was dying of cancer; she thus felt the urgent need of anytrue disciple to bid her savior farewell, perhaps slicing up a few holiday revelers en route as a show ofaffection. Alas, it was not to be. The woman who showed her devotion to Chuck by slicing an "X" inher own forehead was recaptured by authorities on Christmas Day, just two miles from the prison, ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 13 ---------- FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 SPORTS WESTERN FRONT 13 Men's b-ball team skins Seals, 137-79 11-1record is Western's best start since 1971-'72 season By John Sleeper staff reporter It was like watching a debate between William F. Buckley and Elmer Fudd. The smooth, stylish, self-assured Westernmen's basketball team, perhaps smarting from Monday's unexpected setback against the University ofBritish Columbia, set five school records in Thursday night's 137-79 trouncing of Sheldon JacksonCollege. The Seals set records for unsuccessful attempts to catch cwa2y wabbits, otherwise knownas fast-breaking Vikings. For Western Coach Brad Jackson, the victory was a breakthrough in moreways than school records. "The hard part in a game like this is to try to keep from getting sloppy," saidJackson, who saw his squad's record climb to 4-0 in District 1 of the National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletics, 10-1 overall. "We accomplished that. "There's a tendency for any athlete to play to the level of competition. We did a good job of playing up to our potential tonight." Western'snumbers indicate the extent of the drubbing: * The Vikings' 137 points shattered the previous record of122, set in 1986 against, yup, Sheldon Jackson. * Western scored 76 points in the first half, breakingthe 1986 mark of 74 against Lewis-Clark State. * In just their eleventh game of the year, the Vikingsscored 100 points for the fifth time. The school record for an entire season was four times, set last year. * Western's 56 field goals broke the previous record of 54, set 17 years ago today against Oregon Tech. * The Vikings passed for 38 assists Thursday night. The old record, 32, was set twice previous-ly.Plus, if such a record were kept, it may have been the earliest a Viking team ever reached 100 points.For those who jot down such trivia, the century mark came with 13:27 left in he game â€” on a lay-in byforward James Johnson. The Seals, 1-5 in the district and 2-10 overall, had 50 points at the time. WhileJohnson worked from the inside for 22 points, hitting 10 for 11 shots from the floor, guard Tim Dickersonbombed from the outside for 19, including three three-pointers. But perhaps most distressing forSheldon Jackson was defensive harassment by Ray Oot-sey. Although the 5-foot-ll reserve guard fromLittle Rock, Ark., scored just eight points, he swiped the ball from unsuspecting Seals six times. " I 'mmostly a defensive player," Ootsey said. "That's about what my job is â€” to come in P Mt.

All of Ootsey's four first-half steals leddirectly to Viking points. Two minutes after he entered the game, his steal and subsequent assist of one of two dunks by Johnson brought the 1,500 fans in Carver Gym to their feet. It also put the Vikingsahead, 44-19, with 9:30 left in the half. Sheldon Jackson Coach Pete Toews said he knew his Sealswere in for a long night. "We knew going in that they were a good team," he said. "When something likethis happens, you can't get down on your players. A lot of athletes have very fragile egos. When theyget beat like that, the last thing they need is for someone to start yelling at them." Toews certainlyhad no need to raise his voice at Jack Fredrick-son, the Seals' 6-5 junior forward from Lynnwood.Fredrickson led all scorers Acta aue5 Section Hair Design Special for VVWU Students Ask for:Richelle Reed 67i*663A 1302 Bay Street Bellingham '-â€¢Dan Tyler with 29 points, 19 in the first half.He hit 14 for 19 from the field. "We knew once we got the ball up, we'd have a good game on theoffensive end," Towes said. "Jack played well, but we had to get the ball into his hands without turning itover." The Seals had 32 turnovers, many of which led to lay-ins off the fastbreak. That, as much as a ny t h i n g , c o n t r i b u t e d to Western's 60 percent shooting mark from the field.

Toppling Hawaii Pacific College twice, 100-92 on Dec. 15 and 86-82 on Dec.19, and Chaminade University of Honolulu, 73-72 on Dec. 17, Western returned home and took a weekoff - not to allow time for the Solarcaine to take effect, but to prepare for a two-game series with UBC.Western took a 111-83 decision from UBC in Lynden last Saturday before Monday's 89-84 loss to theThunderbirds in Vancouver. "I hate losing," Viking Coach Brad Jackson said. "The coaches andplayers were aggravated by it. When you play as well as you can play and lose, that's one thing. Youjust got beaten by a better team. But the loss to UBC upset us." Bouncing back last night with a 137-79 victory against Sheldon Jackson College, the Vikings now sport a MM overall record and lead District1 with a 4-0 slate. All five starters score in double figures, producing the kind of balance CoachJackson said he looks for. Sophmore guard Manny Kimmie leads the Vikings with a 15.2 average. S e n i o r forward James Johnson (15.1) and senior guard Tim Dickerson (15.0) are next, with forward EricSchurman and center Rod Whatley rounding out the starting five at a 12.5 clip. Ever the perfectionist,however, Jackson said he's not completely satisfied. "We've played good teams," he said. "I'mpleased where we're at. But I'd like to see better overall defense for an entire game â€” from anindividual standpoint and from a team standpoint." Jackson also pointed to needed improvement in thehalf-court offense. "We run well on the break," he said. "But when we come out of it without a shot andmake the decision to set up the offense, sometimes we have problems making the transition." PerhapsJackson's worries stem from the fact that the luau is over. The Vikings face tough district opponentsin all but five of their 19 remaining games - starting with St. Martin's College in a 7:30 game Saturdaynight in Carver Gym. The Saints, 7-4 overall and 1-0 in district action, return three starters â€” 6-foot-8 center Brad Erben, 6-2 guard Marvin Prince and 6-6 forward Aron Wallace - from last year's 13-19 team. Second-year Coach Bob Grisham was an assistant at \vo3..ern from 1982-85 under former coach Bill Westphal. "They're a good team, well-coached and well-disciplined," Jackson said. "They certainly have the capacity to beat anyone in the district." The Bottomless Coffee Cup still only 70 cents I coffeehouse /espresso bar evening entertainment V.

The Vikings won seven of the eight gamesthey played during the three weeks between fall and winter quarters. The team played the last sevengames on the road, traveling to Alaska, California and British Columbia. Western now sports a 9-3record. The Vikings are not completely finished with their travels, however, as they play games atLewis Clark State College and Whitworth College tonight and Saturday. "I'm real pleased with ourprogress," said Western Head Coach Lynda Goodrich. "We made strides every game. Our offensemade the biggest improvement. We started strong on defense and rebounding, and now we'reexecuting better on offense, getting better shot selection." Before departing on its road trip, Westernhosted the Western Oregon State College Wolves Saturday, Dec. 12. Junior forward Anna Rabelscored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds, leading the Vikings to a 79-49 victory. Through the first12 games, Rabel is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 10.7 points a game and 6.8rebounds. Balance has been a Western trademark this season, as eight Vikings are averaging morethan five points a game. In Alaska, Western swept a trio of National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics District 1 games, defeating Alaska Pacific University twice, 61-55 and 74-53, then destroyingSheldon Jackson College, 126-59. The 126-point outburst against the Seals set a record for the mostpoints ever scored by a Western basketball team. Following the trip north, Western headed south toCarson, Calif., where they won the Califoria State University- Dominguez Hills Hoop Classic. In theopening round, the Vikings defeated the host Toros, 62-42. In the title game, sophomore forward LynnMunday scored 21 of her game-high 22 points in the second half to lead Western to a 74-65 victory overUniversity of California at Riverside. Western finished its "break" at the University of Victoria Invitational tournament in Victoria, B.C. The Vikings' seven-game winning streak was snapped in the openinground with a 78-62 loss to UVic. The Vikings bounced back in the consolation round, defeating SimonFraser University in overtime, 71-66. Although they already have a 4-1 record in district action, theVikings begin in earnest this weekend with the first two of 15 straight NAIA District 1 games. "I alwaysfeel like this is the meat of the season," Goodrich said. "The tough part is that the team is road wearyand this (the j o u r n e y to LC S t a t e and Whitworth) is a tough trip.

The grantwas furnished by the U.S. Public Health Service's Centers for Disease Control to increase the numberof rural schools providing effective AIDS education. Don Olcott, project coordinator, said four or fivedifferent curricula will be distributed to school districts that teach children about AIDS. "From there, theindividual communities and school districts will choose which program is most appropriate for theirneeds. There will be revisions and input relative to community values," Olcott said. As it is no longertrue that A I D S is only an u r b a n, homosexual problem, Olcott said, all populations and ages need to be educated about the disease. "Kids need to be taught at-risk behaviors: intravenous drug usage,sharing needles, intercourse without protection, anal intercourse, and oral sex without protection,"Olcott said. There will be differences between what is taught to various age groups, he added. "Whatwe teach third graders is not going to be the same as what we teach eighth graders," he said. Theyounger students need to hear general information to relieve fear, he said, with more education on safesexual behaviors starting in sixth or seventh grade. "To reduce the fears is to provide accurateinformation. No, you do not get AIDS from casual contact. No, you do not get AIDS from insects. No,you cannot get AIDS from being in the same building with someone who has the disease," Olcott said.He added the program should be taught within a comprehensive health framework. "It should be taughtalongside of sexually transmitted diseases, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and other social issuesthat affect teenagers," he said. Bryan Fujimoto, coordinator of Western's Sexual Minorities Center, andTanya Bradford, assistant coordinator of the Sex Information Center, have doubts about theeffectiveness of the program. "This sounds great on paper, but it's not going to go anywhere. Teachers need to be taught how to teach AIDS education before they even go before the class," Bradford said,"and someone needs to be there to make sure morality does not become the main consideration ineducating about AIDS." Fujimoto agreed with Bradford, and said, "I'll admit that the individual schooldistricts should have some say, but this should be restricted because, in general, the more rural you get the more conservative you get, and this is not a moral issue."

The Western Front April24,1990Volume 82, Number 23 Western Washington University please recycle Students oppose possibleloft ban policy By Kristi Warren staff reporter Another 'Just say NO' policy is not what Western students want to hear. The University Services Council met Thursday, April 19 to consider the "no furniture offthe floor" policy suggested by the Housing and Dining Committee, April 9. However, no vote was taken. A different agenda topic dominated the council meeting, said Yolanda Graham, council member andassistant director of academic advising. Students may still have time to oppose the policy by expressingtheir opinions and clarifying the points they feel are too broad. Kay Rich, director of UniversityResidences said she was uncertain why students feel the policy is vague. "The wording 'No furnitureoff the floor' is about as to the point as you can get," Rich said. Council meeting minutes said a previous draft of the policy had been reviewed and the council basically supports the policy. The council will meetagain Thursday, May 3, said council member Joe St. Hillaire. The policy is part of thedecorating/personalizing space portion of the residence hall agreement. It bans the use of lofts andstacking furniture. "It is a policy that has been on and off the books," said Leslie Jensen, AS vice-president of residence life. "The policy had just not been enforced." The decision to restrict residencehall occupants is not popular with many students. "I think what they 're saying is wrong," said Fairhavenresident Alyson Hagen. "There is not enough room for two people as it is and we're paying enough money that we should be able to do what we want." Hagen said she understood the Â£|fety concern, butissues such as using stairs to get up to the lofts instead of ladders were not taken into consideration asfar as she knows. Jerry Kraft, a business major and Ridge-way Kappa resident, said the policy is toogeneral. It doesn't take into consideration building platforms and lofts that are safe oraren'tfor sleeping.He wants the administration to leave the students some choices. "Lofts could be used for television setsand other stuff," he said. "I don't understand about no platforms. Aren't they on the floor?" "We shouldhave rights in our own room. We pay rent," Kraft said. "Some lofts are unsafe. There should be a code to regulate how safe they are instead of just saying 'NO' to them. I think it is a stupid rule," said PaulaKenyon, an environmental studies major and Fairhaven resident. "There will be frustration," said MikeBartosch, Associate Director of University Residences for Residence Life. "Hopefully they'll understandthe reasons." "The safety hazards," explained Belling-ham City Fire Marshall, Robert A. Neale, "are notonly because of structural instability, causing injuries when lofts or furniture collapse, but in the case of fire, smoke tends to rise and the higher you are to the ceiling the most likely you are to suffocate fromsmoke inhalation." "Our firefighters have no idea there is a loft above them. They'll be crawling aroundlooking for fire victims and not know someone is dying six feet above them," he said. A fire fatalityoccurred in Bellingham in a situation very similar to this. The only difference was the homemade loftwas in a single family dwelling, Neale said. "People don't like it, but they don't like a lot of policies,"Jensen said. "There are just too many safety concerns to ignore and besides you can't ignore the firecode." The "nofurnitureioff the floor policy" is not in the state Uniform Fire Code. However, the codeauthorizes the fire marshall to make rules and regulations when deemed necessary. Not all students areangered by the policy; Keith Gerhard, aNash Hall resident said he and his roommate have a loft and it isnice for space, but they have no objections to the decision. The policy has been circulated toresidential students to inform them of the regulations before they choose to return to the dorms nextyear. Earth Fair 1990; different viewpoints By Scott M. Ayers staff reporter Hundreds of people gathered at Western Saturday for Earth Fair 1990. The fair, which marked the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, gave those who support environmental issues a chance to spend a day spreading information about theirviewpoints and celebrating their commitment to the earth. Craig Erdman, a Western graduate student, was one of many who worked at the fair to gain support for environmental policies. Erdman, who studies geology, spent the day asking fair-goers to write letters to their congressmen urging a bill which wouldprotect Washington's rivers from development. "We want to protect a few quality rivers like theNooksack from hydro-electric projects and to protect shoreline areas." The Puget Sounders, AudobonNorthwest, Save the Dolphins and Neighbors Opposing Power Encroachment (NOPE), were just of thefew environmental groups on hand. Rusty Howard, a volunteer for Greenpeace Action, said for him, thefair was a celebration for those who had already committed themselves to environmental causes. "Mostof the people here are the converted, they're just here having a good time," he said. Howard, who worked at Fairhaven College in 1989, said his group works every day to increase people's knowledge abouthow the environment is being destroyed. "We're out there 365 days a year knocking on doors andspreading the message," he said. Howard estimates that Greenpeace Action visits 40,000households a day nationwide. The fair also gave some a reason for optimism about the future.

Marriott Corporation's contract with Western went up for renewal Jan. 1,1990. TheMarriott Corp. bought out SAGA in 1986. In order to encourage competitiveness, efficiency and goodservice, bids for the food service contract are being accepted until April 25, said Dale Monroe, member ofthe food service contract committee, and director of Purchasing and Material Services. Marriott will bemaking a bid to renew their contract. Roger Oettli, business manager for the Housing and Dining System, stated in a Dec. 8, 1989 Front article, "Western's food service contract is one of the largest around.We're talking about a $6 million contract." The new contract will begin Sept. 1,1990 and expire Aug.31,2000. A ten year contract is deemed necessary "because of the large capital investment required,"Monroe said. Western advertised in papers under state law for bids on the contract. Six firms showedinterest at a pre-proposal meeting, Monroe said. The meeting was intended to give firms a tour ofWestern and its food service facilities, in order to make them as knowledgeable as possible aboutWestern's food service, he said. Monroe said a statement of Western's food service needs has beenpresented to the firms making bids with the expectation they will use their expertise to respond to thoseneeds.

The grant is from the Washington State Department ofServices for the Blind. Approximately 150 Western students are learning or physically disabled, saidDorothy Crow, coordinator of the Disabled Student Services. Many of these students are unable to readstandard textbooks or write and type assignments because of their disabilities. The new equipment willincrease educational opportunities for these students by providing a means for taping and preparingassignments and papers, Crow said. The purpose of the grant was to provide handicapped students withtotal computer access and more taped textbooks for dyslexic and visually impaired students, she said.Juanita Wilson, a blind intern at the Disabled Student Services, has made use of the new equipment.She said the Kurzweil Personal Reader, a scanner with a voice synthesizer, allows her to read books,typed forms and magazines. Kurzweil scans the page, deciphers the print and reads it aloud in asynthesized voice, Wilson said. "I went to the library to check out my first library book that I could readmyself," Wilson said. A second Kurzweil, which is linked to a computer, reads books out loud andtransfers them onto computer disks and cassette tapes, Wilson said. The Kurzweil gives verbaldirections and prints out in braille, Wilson said. Another purchase was the Artie synthesizer with wordprocessing equipment. This machine verbally tells which words have been typed into the computer.. "It'sgreat. It would be impossible for me to edit straight from the screen," Wilson said. "It would be great tohave one at home." Crow said money from the grant also purchased four variable speed recorders to tape texts, an enlarger which prints up to 45 times original size for visually impaired students and portablebraille writers. Jane Bello-Brunson, assistant coordinator for the Disabled Student Services, said aconsultant will be sent out in May to set up the equipment, but it may not be ready for student use untilfall quarter.

Beth Fries, assistant coordinator of theAssociated Students Environmental Center, urged Western students to get involved in the effort to getrecycled paper on the campus. She wrote a proposal urging the AS to start using recycled paper."When we pay for our tuition, a small percentage goes to the AS," Fries said. "The AS uses atremendous amount of paper and the AS is a student organization, so we have a lot of control over it."The Environmental Center's Recycling Education Program subsidized the recycled paper in thebookstore this quarter and the lined, 100 percent recycled, unbleached paper sold out in 3 days," Friessaid. "This shows how many students on this campus support what we're doing." The company whosold the paper doesn't sell it at wholesale price, so the Environmental Center subsidized it to keep downthe cost to the buyer. The center doesn't have the money to do this every quarter and is looking for analternative way. Although the cost of buying recycled paper is higher than buying virgin paper, KimberlyMaxwell, a Huxley student, stressed the need to be patient and wait for the supply to catch up to thedemand. In the mean time, students should pay the difference. "At the moment I am only aware of 30manufacturers in the country who are presently manufacturing recycled paper," Maxwell said. "That isn'tenough. As we increase our demand, supply will eventually increase, therefore lowering the price."Many paper mills making virgin paper have begun to produce recycled paper. "Businessmen realizethat this is the economic future," Maxwell said. "We've got our foot in the door to start the process."Students should be wary of manufacturers who say their paper has recycled content, but don't list anactual percentage of "post-consumer waste, paper that has seen its lifecycle go through theconsumer," Maxwell said. "Western is operated by the state of Washington and is subject to statelaws," said Huxley student Leslie Lang. "The state procurement policy does allow for the purchase ofrecycled paper, but not if it costs more than comparable non-recycled products." But the 1989 revision of state law RCW 43.19.1911 allows state agencies such as Western to develop their own procurementpolicy. A study Lang was involved in found "it is feasible tor Western to convert to the use of recyclablepaper products." Bobbie Hallock, a Fiscal Services buyer, is involved in an effort by the purchasingdepartment to obtain recycled paper and make it available for every department's use, if they chooseto use recycled paper. Hallock took a new approach to finding a manufacturer of recycled paper to supply Western. Hallock sent out a seven-page bid. The goal of the bid was to award the lowest responsiblebidder the contract of supplying Western's recycled paper for a year. The bidders will be judged on manythings such as, "the lowest bid, how the paper is packaged, the recycled content and the brightnessof the paper," Hallock said. The bid is open to any vendor. The last day to bid is April 25, at 3 p.m. Abidder will be selected as a winner after several days of evaluation. COMPARE OUR PRICES SAVE20% TO 60% Animals used for Psychology experiments By Matt Baunsgard features editor Monkeys.Rats. Crayfish. Chickens. All of these animals can be found in the basement of Miller Hall. Western'spsychology department is no different than other psychology departments across the state; they useanimals in their laboratory experiments. Richard W. Thompson, Ph.D, professor, and chair of thepsychology department said he primarily uses chickens. "I am interested in fear," he said. "It turnsout that many animals show an innate, instinctive response when they are in fear, producing situationssuch as when a predator has a hold of them. It is a nice response so I know when the animal is showingit, they're fearful, and when they're not showing it, they're not fearful." Thompson said the animals arenot handled roughly, but they are restrained. "It is the same as you would hold a cat to keep it fromrunning away," he said. The animals are also given minor injections. Thompson is only one of thepsychology professors using animals in experimentation. "Dr. Crow (Dr. Lowell T. Crow, Ph.D, professor) uses rats to investigate the variability in behavior," Thompson said. Thompson said it is possible totrain people and animals to act in ways other than they normally would. Crow wants to know what part ofthe brain controls this type of activity. He has conducted some studies by making very small lesions inthe rats' brains to see what the effects these lesions will have on the rats' behavior. "(I onlyexperiment) on rats (and basically I am studying) alcohol effects," Crow said. The rats are injectedwith alcohol, then their behavior is observed. "Merle Prim.of the psychology department, is in charge of our small primate colony," Thompson said. Prim has been working with a professor from the Universityof Washington, Thompson said. The two use epileptic patients in their research, because the epilepticpatients are having surgery where their brain is going to be exposed, so they can record the brain."They are looking at various cognitive processes," Thompson said. "And then trying to find out where the actual part of the brain associated with these kind of processes is." Once this is done, the results arecompared with the monkeys. "We may remove part of the (monkeys) brain to find out if that is actuallythe location of that type of behavior," Thompson said. "But that is down the line a ways." Prim said onlyadvanced students with his permission can work with on and off campus. Tim Lucy, associate director of the Humane Society, is a member of this committee. "The purpose is to review the use of animals andthe care," he said. "In my opinion the committee is working well in the sense that we are keepingbetter track than ever of the "Looking back over 25 years of research with animals, there just aren't any cases where I say I did something horrible or wish I hadn't done something. We are not sadists."Richard Thompson the monkeys, and he also said people have complained to him about the use ofmonkeys in these experiments. "We do have an animal welfare group which reviews the experiments weperform on animals," Thompson said. "They make sure the experiments are all done ethically andhumanely." All experiments have to go through the Animal Care and Use Committee, a committeewhich meets six times a year. Members are from both welfare of animals." Arlene Lewis of thepsychology department is also a member. "I think there are some experiments that are inappropriateto use animals in," she said. "However, we have reviewed Dr. Prim and his research and we haveapproved it." The committee also makes sure the animals are humanely terminated at the end of theexperiment. "It is against regulations to take animals that have been used in experiments and havethem as pets," Thompson said. "Once we have control over them we are responsible...we use an animalas many times as it is useful and meaningful-sometimes more than one experiment...then we have toget rid of them in some way." Thompson said they use chloroform to, "put them to sleeppermanently." Thompson recognizes animal activists. "I think the animal rights movement has been healthy in some ways," he said. "I think it is good to have people concerned with the welfare of animals. And I think it makes us more sensible and more thoughtful." Thompson said they have never beeninhumane or cruel to animals. "(Animal activists) have not been disruptive to the point of interfering withour activity," he said. "One year they had someone in a monkey suit in a cage in front of Miller Hall."Thompson said many contributions have been made to animal experimentation, and because ofanimal research, people know how to treat animals better. "Looking back over 25 years of research withanimals," he said. "There just aren't any cases where I say I did something horrible or wish I hadn't donesomething. We are not sadists."

"I miss a lot of excitement, but I miss a lot of trouble,"Noellgen said. German reunification faces more obstacles than many may realize. While the Americanmedia focuses on the currency problems faced by Germany and judges the strength of a unified GermanOlympic team, the most important difficulties facing the German people may be psychological. RalfZimmermanns, a West German exchange student studying business at Western, said many EastGermans feel they must suddenly . change. Many are trying to discard beliefs internalized after living in a socialist society for more than 40 years in order to embrace the more materialistic values of WestGermany. "That's not always good," Zimmermanns said. Noellgen said less than 2 percent of EastGerman voters in the March elections chose members of the reformist coalition who orchestrated EastGermany's uprising. Instead, they elected parties supported by powerful West German counterparts ormembers of the re-vamped Socialist party. "It's sad to see most East Germans don't want to incorporatetheir achievements into West German politics," Noellgen said. Noellgen said she believes many EastGermans are more concerned with achieving economic success than developing their own politicalsystem. Gisela Wachtel, a West German student studying exercise science at Western, said she feltEast Germans have become overwhelmed by the amount of wealth they have witnessed in WestGermany. Taking this into consideration their drive toward economic achievements is understandable,she said. "But they want it too much and they want it too badly," Noellgen said. Attitudes and workhabits developed under different societies can cause problems as well. Noellgen said many East Germanworkers weren't prepared for the expectations of West German employers. "For example, when bakerscame over from East Germany to work in the West they would come in at 3 a.m., work until 5 a.m. andthen start to leave. At home in East Germany, they would have run out of flour by then. Of course, WestGerman bakers don't run out of flour and keep working, but that wasn't what (the East Germans) wereused to," Noellgen said. Noellgen said polls published in German magazines indicate West Germansare starting to resent East German immigrants. Finding housing and jobs was difficult for West Germansbefore the border was opened. Competing with East German refugees, who receive first priority, hasmade it even more difficult. Both Noellgen and Zimmermanns said fears of a united Germanythreatening world peace were understandable, but unnecessary. "For me personally, a fourth empire isout of the question," Zimmer-manhs- slid, "Geirtaany has changed a lot after the second World War... we are much less patriotic than other countries ... we have more of a cultural pride, not a pride in ourpower," Noellgen said. At first, the dramatic changes in their country seemed overwhelming, Noellgenand Wachtel said. "It's going too fast," Wachtel said. Noellgen said in the beginning she felt angry withAmerica for emphasizing the events in East Germany as capitalism defeating communism, rather thanpeople standing up for their rights. Wachtel said the changes gave her a new sense of hope. "It's so great to see that changes can happen in peaceful ways. I hope the politicians will learn something from this,"Wachtel said.

Box 2147, Dept()A12 Seattle, WA 98111-2147 Grad student captures Mr. Western competition By Julie Davisson staff reporter Fifteen ofWestern's finest "Glamour Boys" graced the stage of the Performing Aits Center Saturday for the 1990Mr. Western contest. During the two-hour show, the contestants, each representing a residence hall,displayed their grace, intelligence and talent to a full house of fellow students and seven judges.Categories included sportswear, talent and evening wear, as well as answering surprise questions.Graduate student Allan Cline was crowned Mr. Western 1990 after wowing the audience and judges with an original classical piano composition. Cline, a music major, entered the competition as Mr. Omega.He received a portable stereo for his first place win. Mr. Edens, Mark Moran, was named first runner up. When asked what he felt were the three things the world needed most, Moran replied, "Peace, love andhappiness." Moran also "brought the house down" with an original rap number explaining hisparticipation in the event. During the evening wear competition, Moran entered the stage hidden behind four escorts and wearing a red and white pajama tuxedo ensemble. Jason Glover, Mr. Delta placed assecond runner up.

Western's Miller Hall will undergo an asbestos clean-out this summerto prevent a possible hazard from developing in the future. Asbestos can cause problems when the fibers are shaken loose during an earthquake or when a building is being remodeled. If someone isrepeatedly exposed to the fibers, they may get cancer or asbestosis 20 years later. the abatement,said the university wanted to remove the asbestos before a potential problem developed, but noproblem exists yet for students and faculty. Present levels of asbestos fibers in Miller Hall fall belowsafe outdoor levels of 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter by sometimes 10 to 100 times, said StephenRacich, industrial hy-gienist and asbestos supervisor, who has been monitoring Miller's asbestoslevels since discovery in December 1988. "The amount found in Miller Hall is less than what you might encounter walking around Bellingham," Racich said. "It's like a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle (trying toplace everyone) and we just don't know where at this point." "Basically, if you know the asbestos isthere, you have to get rid of it," said James Korski, manager of Space Administration. The neweraddition of Miller Hall, built in 1971, contains asbestos fire-proofing used for its steel beams, which willbe removed beginning June 25. The asbestos removal project will take place as a two-step process.Floors two and three will be worked on this summer. Floors one and four will be worked on during thesummer of 1991. Ed Simpson, projectmanager for The asbestos was found accidently by physical plant employees during inspection of the air circulation system in Miller Hall, Smith said. Two layers ofplastic will surround the work area, and HEPA filters, which remove 99.9 percent of asbestos filters,will constantly clean the contained area's air. A negative air-feed system, which only blows air in, willprevent unfiltered air from exiting the enclosed area. A national asbestos abatement company, BrandSite, will complete both phases of the project at a cost of $790,000, Simpson said. Workers and visitorsto the area will have to wear protective gear, similar to space gear with respirators, to preventbecoming contaminated. If contamination does occur, those exposed will undergo asbestossurveillance every year to determine whether the lungs have become contaminated, said DennisSmith, Western's safety, waste and environmental manager. However, once the fibers have infectedthe lungs, nothing can be done to get rid of them, he added. So, workers and visitors who leave thecontainment area must take precautions, Simpson said. Workers must brush off visible accumulationsof asbestos in one room, remove their clothing in a second room and shower, and then step to a third"clean" room to change into outdoor clothing. Air monitoring will take place on every floor during theproject by Rick Sparks, an independent asbestos abatement consultant and by facilities planningemployees, Racich said. Also, HEPA filters will be monitored, as a safety measure, to check tosee if they are doing their job, he added. Results will be posted in Miller Hall following air tests, he said. 'It (air monitoring) is the key to seeing when things are going wrong," he said. Asbestos wastes will bedouble bagged and trucked to the Olympic View Landsite in Kitsap County, according to the asbestosabatement project manual.

Reilly/The Western Front Rob Bacon stays up late writing to Rosie Morgan, his fiancee1, who lives in Spokane. With some effort,absence makes hearts grow fonder for long-distance lovers By Sara Bynum staff reporter Distancemakes the heart grow fonder â€” right? Most couples would rather not find out if this old saying holdsany truth. After years of searching you finally find your Romeo or your Juliet and you know it is the realstuffâ€”true love. Separation is the last thing a couple looks forward to in their relationship, especiallylong-term separation. A long distance separation can be the making or the breaking of a relationship.Meeting each other for lunch or just watching television together are activities which came a dime adozen. But now they are mere memories. Letters and expensive phone calls become substitutes for the regular Friday night dates. Elaine Schick, junior, has been engaged to Leigh since the end ofSeptember. Leigh is in the Navy and has been gone since January. "We write to each other constantly. Not justmushy stuff but we keep track of each other," Schick said. "With (communicating) mainly onlywith letters you learn to use exacting language. We are getting to know each other differently than if wesaw each other each day." Steve Fruehling, sophomore, writes to his girlfriend in Oregon almost everyday and talks to her at least two times daily on the phone. "There's a lot of communication in ourrelationship and I think it is the biggest factor that helps keep it going," he said. Loneliness is oneobvious problem of a long distance relationship, he said. Fruehling finds it fairly routine to miss hisgirlfriend. "It's hard. It isn't real depression, but ho-hum, bummer days," he said. The occasionalproblems of any relationship seem twice as difficult to resolve, Fruehling said. "It's hard to resolve itwithout the physical contact. It's easy to conceal feelings over the phone," he said. Melinda Cowan,sophomore, said she hardly ever writes to her boyfriend, Tracy, who is in Oregon, but they call eachother twice a week. In the beginning loneliness was a problem, Cowan said, but she keeps herself busy with friends and homework. "In one way it's nice because I don't have to worry about splitting up timebetween friends, homework and Tracy," she said. Schick said even though she doesn't enjoy beingapart from Leigh this separation has brought a lot to their relationship. "We both have realized howimportant we are to each other," Schick said. "We wouldn't get a chance to see the extent of that if wesaw each other every day." Sending care packages and newspaper clippings has kept them both intouch with each other and their different surroundings. Since Schick is at school and her fiance isabroad, Schick gets to know about ths area he's in from little presents. "I get to travel vicariouslythrough him," Schick said. Dawnette Cady, junior, has a boyfriend WIK- is in the Navy and is on thesame ship with Schick's fiance. Cady said the distance hasn't hindered her relationship in the least "It'smade it stronger if anything. Because we're so far apart we've had to overcome a lot of stuff," Cady said. "When I really need to talk to someone I can't call him because he's on the ship. I've had to overcome a lot of jealousies and uncertainties," she said. "You have to place a lot of trust in the other person. Ifyou don't have trust it will never work." '1 try and keep my mind off him as much as possible," Cadysaid. "You learn to deal with it. You do a lot of busy work." Cady said her boyfriend, Brett, is the "world's worst letter writer" and since he is on a ship he can only call every three to four weeks when he is at aport. "It's hard but it seems to be working (the relationship). I let him know I' m there for him, that's whathe needs to know," she said. Trust is an important element to any relationship, especially a long-distance relationship. "If Leigh and I didn't have a trusting relationship it would never last," Schick said,"especially at the ports where there are lots of girls who would love to have an American serviceman."You have to work at it. It doesn't just happen," Schick said. If anyone is contemplating a long-distancerelationship Cowan suggests, "See how it goes in the beginning and have open communication. It'sgoing to be hard and it might or might not work out." Fruehling's advice is, "Think twice about it. There'sa lot of work and problems that go along with long-distance relationships. But if you see realisticpossibilities in the future â€” go for it.â€¢nÂ»nÂ«BÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«aÂ«HÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«nÂ«MÂ«iÂ«Â«9RÂ«iÂ«iiÂ«aÂ«nÂ«nÂ»iiÂ»nÂ«H*iiÂ«uÂ«iiÂ«nÂ«iiÂ«iiÂ«nÂ«iÂ»uÂ«nÂ«aÂ«iiÂ«HÂ«iiÂ«iiÂ« Mark Hines' column willggggggggggggggggggggggggg now be featured in the Accent section. By Maria Manlicllc staff reporterIn silence they hear our slurs, our derogatory jokes, and try to smile and keep their feelings inside.They're homosexual couples, sexual minorities, who have taken on the seriousness of minority-rightsadvocacy, despite the difficulties of coming out and identifying their sexual orientation. "It's acloseted community," said Topher Jerome, coordinator of the Sexual Minorities Center. "Western is not a place where you would see gay people being able to hold hands." Gay people are all around us. Theyare our roommates, our friends, sometimes even our professors. Yet, for the most part, they choose toremain unnoticed. For those involved in homosexual relationships, the social pressures can becumbersome. Many young gays and lesbians keep their feelings hidden from friends and familiesbecause the rewards for being "normal" are many. "Losing your job because you're gay ... leaves youfeeling you're not as good as the majority," Jerome said. "That is part of what makes the feeling of beinga minority, for me anyways, very difficult." "Dave," who is a gay junior, said it is almost impossible forhim to pursue a gay relationship on campus because of the secrecy a gay man must keep. "I havelearned to accept my self for who I am," Dave said. "However, I have not learned to cope with theresponse of others yet." At Western, there' s a lot of anti-gay attitudes in the students themselves,said Nancy Foster, assistant coordinator of the SMC. Yet a lot of the homophobia (fear of gays)comes from what people fear in themselves. The concern of AIDS, acquired immune deficiencysyndrome, has increased people's dormant fears regarding gay couples. "People's firstreaction to adisease is to blame someone," said Linina Severance, assistant coordinator of the Sexual AwarenessCenter. "Many people still believe AIDS is a gay disease, but it's moving more prevalently into theheterosexual population, especially with HIV drug users." Many believe homosexuality is a disease initself. Most of society is not willing to accept gay relationships offering commitment, trust, love and the desire to grow together â€” the very qualities that foster long-term, straight relationships. "A gayrelationship is basically the same as a straight relationship," Dave said. "... People think that all gay men do is have sex and that isn't true." Permanent relationships are sometimes difficult for gay people toestablish. Short-term relationships and sexual promiscuity are the only alternatives they saythey're left with. Dave, who's had a few relationships with men in the past, said he finds it difficult tomeet other gay men. "I am a regular person living a regular life ... except I prefer to be with someone ofmy own sex." Instead of confronting his emotions, Dave said he found it much easier to deny them.

Pete and Kathy Meagher weremarried last August and have found marriage more than just emotional profitable. It pays well, too.."Once you' ve decided on getting married why wait?" Pete said. "Financially it's easier because, one,you've got combined incomes and, two, they really cut you some slack with the financial aid." Pete andKathy couldn't get financial aid before they were married, but now find they both have a full financialride through college. Pete offers some advice, "Get married by March so next year's grants can getthrough by fall quarter. You can gross $20,000 and still get a full ride." Besides the financial aid, Pete has started a part-time computer dealership and Kathy works a few hours a day as a secretary at anarchitectural firm.

Students who choose to live together may find themselves in a torn situation. On one hand they have moved away from home and are trying to make their own decisions, yet on the other hand their parents may still support them and oversee certain decisions. For some couples thedecision to live together involves the family members on both sides. Former Western student JulieHylland and her husband Dave lived together before they got married. Her parents were understandingand saw it as a practical and economical thing to do, unlike her husband's parents. She said hisparent's biggest concern was not the living together, but the pre-marital sex that could be involved. Hisfather made passing comments about them disowning their kids if they were involved in pre-marital sex."When we first moved in, we lived in a studio apartment. One day my parents were coming up and I hidall of Julie's things. I felt like I had betrayed Julie just to avoid a confrontation," Dave remembered. It wastolerated when they moved in with other roommates, and it was tolerated when they moved into a two-bedroom house. "He told them he was sleeping in one room and I was sleeping in the other," she said.Western student Janet Nehser chose to ask her parents before she moved in with her boyfriend. "I guessI should have given them more credit because they were more understanding than I thought they wouldbe," Janet said. Janet said she considered lying to them and telling them she was living with anotherfemale roommate, but she figured the worse they could say was no. Her parents understood andcontinue to financially support her. Janet said she encourages people to tell their parents. Westernstudent Lauri Nicholas said she felt living together was fine for other people, but she had never considered it for herself until her boyfriend asked her to live with him. Her parents said they didn 't approve, but if itwas what she wanted to do, she could because it was her life. They agreed to continue to pay for hertuition, but that was it. '1 knew it was going to work-out and that they would come around," she said.Lauri said her parents started giving her money again after about three months. She and her boyfriend arenow engaged to be married and living in a house her parents bought. "I just decided I could makedecisions for myself, and I knew it was the best thing to do," she said. I have also experienced thisdilemma. My boyfriend and I have been living together for the past three years without my parentsknowledge. They have always made it clear that their financial support does not extend to one of theirchildren who chooses to "shack-up." They didn't care if we stayed at each others house, it was the livingtogether thing that was a taboo. My parents have always been worried about what other people will think. The first year was easy because they never came to Bellingham, but then my father was assignedbusiness in the area. He has always been good about calling a week before he comes to see me, but the visit still causes stress. The day he is supposed to arrive I have to try and stuff my boyfriends noticeablebelongings into the storage closet. This is very frustrating for him because his parents know about thearrangement and understand. The following week after my father leaves I have to hear, "OK, where didyou hide my underwear this time?" and "I told you not to throw my golf clubs in the closet like that." NowI've gotten to the point where I ask myself if it's worth it. I've weighed all the pros and cons and I've cometo the conclusion if they ask me I'll tell them the truth. Somehow I feel deep down they don't want toknow, because if I told them they would have to act on all the threats they' ve made in the past. I thinkthey feel the relationship we have is too good right now to add complications. Whether it be foreconomical or romantic reasons, couples are going to continue to live together if they feel it is right forthem. But I still notice the raised eyebrows when I say, "No, we're not married, we live together." into :Financing can help While the financial r more than half of ie Davenports make o sow up the rest. ebalancing act be-and school even more two children, such trina Davenport, ael and Nancy started wasalready in grade !t had to be taken to Student Co-op day /here students with y and volunteer time, heday-care for Matt, e problem of making was home by 4 p.m. ^athy. plan our schedules istered forclasses, Drked out.

"Every year is different. Every quarter it changes â€” having an 8 o'clockinstead of a 9 o'clock can make all the difference in the world," Doug said. The Brulands say the secretto making a marriage work is to budget their time together the same way they budget their money."Instead of totally focusing in on your studies, you really have to put time into the marriage," Susannesaid. But some couples may find the trials of being married in college is nothing compared to tribulations of whose career is going to take precedent in the relationship. "That is our last and final hurtle," Doug said. "She might get a job here and I might get a job there, but you don't want to have commute too far,either. "We hope we can both find something in the area," Susanne added. The other problem is different graduation dates. Some couples are faced with a separation during the week while the other isemployed in big metropolitan areas such as Seattle, or they are faced with frustrating and longcommutes to either work or school. But many others stay around Bellingham taking jobs outside then-field, waiting for their spouse to finish college. TheMeaghers are faced with this decision. Pete willgraduate two years before his wife Kathy.

In a battle of physical fuel tanks, the WSUlightweight men pulled ahead of Western's boat for an exciting finish. "It was the race of the day,"lightweight coach John "Fuzzy" Fuchs said after the race. Fuchs said the lights had a three-seat open-water lead (about 15 feet) until the sprint of the race. "They got a little excited toward the finish, we'll just have to gear up for the next race with them," he added. Bowman for the Cougars' lights, Joel Jones saidthey were very impressed with Western's lightweights. "We had to sprint like hell into unconsciousness(in the last 350 meters of the race,) " Jones said in between gasps immediately after the race. The restof Western's team trounced WSU.

Only two Abbotsfordbaserunners made it to third base off Burkman, who helped his own cause by striking out four andpicking a runner off first base. Western had nine hits in the opener and slugged 14 hits in the nightcap.The teams played two seven-inning games. The Vikings started their destruction of the Athletics in thefirst game by scoring four runs in the bottom of the first, effectively ending the game early. Scott Riveropened the inning by reaching base on an error. Casey Tilton followed with a single and Mark Heinewalked. After a strikeout, Tom Tri drilled a double to the left-center field gap, clearing the bases. ChrisWiemals hit a slow roller to the third baseman, who threw the ball away, allowing Tri to score. Westernhad the lead at 4-0. The Vikes added a single run in the second on a single by Mitch Rinella, who thenstole second. Following a strikeout, Tilton laced a single to right, plating Rinella for a 5-0 Westernadvantage. Burkman continued to blaze through the Athletics order, causing the opposition to swing atbad pitches and hit plenty of fly balls to the Viking outfielders. In the fourth, River reached base afterbeing plunked in the back-side by a pitch but was thrown out at third advancing on Tilton's single tocenter. Tilton took second on the throw, third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Heine. Westernled 6- 0 after four innings. The final run of the first game was scored in the sixth on consecutive doublesby Heine and Todd Ripley. Abbotsford went out weakly in the seventh inning with two groundouts and afly out. Casey Tilton led the Vikes with a 3-for-4 performance, including one RBI and two runs scored.Western totaled nine Western pitcher Anthony Manns. hits to Abbotsford's six. The Vikes also tookadvantage of four Athletics walks. The second game of the afternoon was actually close for three-and-a-half innings, tied at one run apiece. Abbotsford scored one run in the second on a walk, stolen base anda double. Western answered in the third with a single by Greg Harlowe, a sacrifice bunt, which movedHarlowe to second, and a Don MacKenzie double. The Vikes loaded the bases, but Ripley struck out toend the threat. The tie only lasted until the next inning, when the Vikes added four runs. Scott Hagenand Keith Tyacke began the fourth with singles and advanced one base on a sacrifice bunt. Craig Reinfought off a few tough pitches before slapping a single to right, scoring both runners. MacKenzie followedwith a single and Mike Peeler grounded the ball to the shortstop, who bobbled the ball on an attempteddouble-play. MacKenzie was out at second, but the return throw to first sailed over the first baseman andRein circled the bases. Peeler went to second on the miscue and third on a wild pitch. Mike Lawrencesingled home Peeler and Western had a brief 5-1 lead. Abbotsford came right back in the fifth, scoringfour runs to knot the game at 5-5. The Athletics had four singles, three walks and a fielder's choice in the inning, knocking out Viking pitcher Blaine Bard-man, who was rolling along until the fifth. The tie wasshort-lived, as Western tallied a single run in the bottom of the fifth. Hagen and Tyacke singled. Bothadvanced a base on a fielder's choice before Craig Rein laid down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt, scoring Hagen, but Tyacke was gunned down at the plate trying to score. The Vikings led 6-5 and weren'tthrough, yet. Western bombed Athletic relievers for three more runs in the sixth inning to ice the game.MacKenzie singled, went to second on a sacrifice and scored on a Nick Morris single. Morris advanced to second on the throw home. Ripley doubled to left, scoring Morris and sprinted home on a Hagen singleto set the final score at 9-5. Bardman had six strikeouts in just 5 1/3 innings. He was relieved by Tri andAnthony Manns, who shut the door on any Athletics rallies by fanning three in just two innings. "I wasreal happy with our effort. Especially getting all the players a chance to play," said first-year coach JohnMcKay, who is now 2-0 since coming from California last week. The second game was truly a teameffort, as all Viking starters scored at least one run except Manns. MacKenzie and Hagen each had three hits in the second game, with MacKenzie leading the way with two RBI. Western travels to AbbotsfordThursday for a single game with the Athletics.

For Schedule and RoutingInformation Call 676-RIDE 676-7433 Whatcom^Tmi Transportation Authority By Scott M. Ayers staffreporter Western's golf team appears to have turned the corner. In a season beset by change andstruggle, the team put together a two-round score of 620, beating closest rival Central WashingtonUniversity by 16 strokes and claiming first place in the Simon Fraser Invitational. Viking golfers DanHarrington and Scott Rayburn tied for the individual first place honors with 153 for the tourney. Theywere joined in the tie by Keith Clark of Simon Fraser and Jeff Kent of Central. The four way tie led to aninteresting and controversial "chip-off for the first and second place trophies. In the tie-breaker, eachgolfer placed his ball in a spot about thirty feet from the hole on the 10th green and took one shot.Clark's shot landed closest to the hole, and he was awarded the first-place trophy. In an ensuing chip-offfor second place, Rayburn won. Harrington decried the playol.. format as unfair to both him and theothers. Harrington said the one shot chip-off system was the wrong way to decide a tournament, whichhad taken 10 hours to play. Western coach Dean Russell agreed with Harrington. "As far as I'mconcerned, there were four winners," Russell said. All players involved in the tie said they would havepreferred a playoff system involving actual golf play, but that option was unavailable because the PeacePortal Golf Course was very busy after the tournament. There was no room for a playoff on the schedule. Despite the controversial ending to the tourney, Western's team enjoyed its best two days of golf this season. On Thursday, at the challenging Semiahmoo golf course in Blaine, the team took a 12-strokelead and sported the only three players who could muster scores in the 70s. The course was made even tougher by a steady rain, which soaked the players throughout their five hours on the links. "It (the rain) made the course slower and made it harder to hit long balls off the grass," Harrington explained. Thesecond day brought another complication as the toumey switched . venues from Blaine to the PeacePortal course in White Rock. "It's hard to adjust to switching courses. You spend the first few holesadjusting your game," Harrington said. The switch didn 't affect the team much though, as Western onceagain played well. All five team members scored in the 70s. Harrington led the team on the second daywith a three-over-par 75. He was followed closely by Rayburn at 76 and Joel McNeely, who added a 77to his previous day's 81 for a combined 158. Mark Aaserud, who shot a six-over- par 78 both days,stressed the importance of the team's victory in what is a highly individual sport. "This is what we'vebeen aiming for. A player in college golf that plays for himself and not for the team isn't going to makeit," he said. The team has shown continual improvement throughout the year in anticipation of theWestern Washington University Invitational this week and the NAIA district 1 Tournament in May.The Western Invitational takes place tomorrow and Thursday at Sudden Valley Golf and Country Cluband features a 12-team field. ---------- Western Front - 1990 April 24 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front Opinion Tuesday, April 24,1990 Pen stealing makes editors bite toes We want touse this valuable, much coveted editorial space to complain about an issue near and dear to our heartsâ€” missing pens. It started off with regular, blue, ball-point pens. They disappeared from our desks. Then our purses. Then our pockets. Then our pocket protectors. Even from behind our ears. We've beenviolated. The shame and humiliation led us into a life of crime. We were forced to steal pens from thebookstore and assorted banks, no doubt psychologically damaging others. Linda, our managing editor, even stole an pen engraved with "Ask me about family planning!" Someone stole it from her. We werereally driven into a toe-bitin' frenzy when our non-repro blue pens disappeared. For you non-publicationstypes: non-repro blue pens don't show up in reproductions. They are the basis of our livelihood. With these funky pens, we can write neat notes to each other over the print and you guys don't get to see them.You should see what we wrote over this space. Hee Hee. Inlhe absence of our special pens, some of ourcub reporters have made the fatal â€” you should've seen the blood â€” mistake of making notes with theblue, ball-point pens, which they undoubtedly stole from us. Their notes foiled the editorial processbecause they do reproduce. Nobody will fess up. Our deep-down disappointment in the people we knowand love has led to heart-wrenching paranoia about pens in general. Kathy, our editor, has really turnedugly. The other day we found her on her knees rummaging through the old candy, condom wrappers andprescription anti-depressants in our Feature editor's desk. We couldn't stop her. We couldn't quite makeit out but she was making these weird noises. It sounded like â€”"Goddammitwhatthehelldopeoplewantwiththesenon-reprobluepensanyway. I'mnotbuyinganymore." Linda,who had a bad day anyhow, couldn't handle the situation. She just stood in the corner and drooled, tearsrunning from her eyes. She sobbed, "I-give-and-I-give-and- I-give-and-all-you-guys-do-is-take-take-take."Little do you readers know the grave impact this has had on our lives. Kathy looked for 14 hours beforeshe finally gave up and decided to bag her English 202 class assignment. Both Linda and ourassistant-Accent editor had to turn in their independent-study journals late. We're in big trouble. Themissing pens problem isn't afflicting just us, mankind as a whole suffers from this social disease â€”socio-pathic pen stealing. It's a twisted world. Late night education Take a bite out of the 'Shoe'ssideshow T Kristi L. Warren staff reporter he birth of wisdom may usually be an immaculateconception or at least come from silent contemplation, but this bit of encouragement comes straightfrom downtown Bellingham in the Horseshoe Cafe. Neither immaculate nor silent describes the "Shoe."Actually, had the place been tidy or docile I would have left without a thought of inspiration. The"Shoe," you see, is the local hangout for several of the city's transient or displaced citizens, as well asthe late-nighters. After a sweat-slinging reggae rampage at Buck's Tavern, I meandered there with a fewfriends in search of fries and tarter sauce. While not regulars, we were entitled to the regular service, thefree gossip, and at least one floor show, which that night was an argument, a fight and a police arrest. Iconsider the Horseshoe part of the farside, one of the places that so many of us only view through a '27-inch color monitor while sitting in a leather recliner. I think it is a loss not to dine at the "Shoe." It's notthe food, the service, the decor or the people in particular. Rather it is the loss of the holistic experience,the participation in a segment of America that exists, satisfying the needs of a different kind of socialgroup. The farside can be found many places, biker bars, opera houses, vegetarian cooking seminars,gay bars, convalescent homes, peace rallies, mental asylums, u clean and sober dance hall or a science convention. Any place there are people you don't think you fit in with, any place you avoid going because you may feel uncomfortable, any place you laugh at because the people look, dress or act differently isa place to gain knowledge about life. Real life. The big picture is hard to see from the Ridgeway-Kapparesidence hall or for that matter from an older two-story house on N. Forest Street. Go anddiscover. Yds, experiencing life, rather that watching from your own everyday routine is a risk. It impliesffiat you may be seen at these farside establishments and functions. Whether you belong or not isn'tthe point. The point is that you-ve been there, you've experienced and should know something moreabout yourself and others. Either you have found a new element to incorporate into your life or havegained a better understanding of someone else's. Back at the Horseshoe, no feelings of disgust,sympathy or nausea enveloped me, as our fries finished sizzling in my beer-battered stomach. I turnedto watch the police officers frisk one of the fighting patrons and realized that everyone's life has their ownelements and that they had no desire to be me anymore than I to be them. Just being there brought me a little closer to the reality of the world. The world: this place where we miss so much by limiting ourselves to the comfort of our usual friends, hangouts and experiences.

Esther Ewell staff reporter was reminded how quickly time passes whenI received my 10th high school reunion notification letter in the mail. It was one of those momentswhere time seemed to stop. The realization hit me that it has indeed been 10 years. Some momentswhich have made me feel old, have also made me feel good. Like when I got my driver's license, or myfirst credit card. These were signs maturity had struck! But this was a sinking feeling, like "Omigod, I amTHAT old!" It's not as if I'd forgotten it has been 10 years since graduation. I was even anticipating theletter for the past few months. But I wasn't prepared for the reality of it. I sat on the edge of my bed andasked myself, what have I accomplished in the past ten years that would be glamorous enough to brag to everyone else about? I have gone to school, went to Europe, got married, worked, moved to a new hometwice and returned to college. Nothing too glamorous to report. I looked at the reunion notice. Reunions,it seems, are big business these days. My reunion is being organized not by the "couple most likely to,"but by some major outfit. The cost to attend the function is also major. If I respond right away, it will only cost me $45 to attend a cocktail reception. The price goes up the closer to the deadline, as if $65 isgoing to look more appealing two weeks before the "gala event." The letter included a list of names of"missing persons." I guess the reunion organization is not in the private investigation service. They relyinstead on the kindness of the students. Let me ask you, how many of your high school friends have you seen in the past 10 years? I've been in contact with one friend on a consistent basis since high schoolgraduation. I called her up to see if she received her letter. After discussing the basics (date, location and price), we looked up a few of the missing persons and rediscovered who all the faceless names were.I'll bet the guys my friends wouldn't dream of dating in high school will show up in Mercedes-Benz's andhave gorgeous wives. And the guys we thought were so cute will probably look kind of dorky after 10years.- Following this exchange, my friend asked me why I wasn't going to go to the reunion. My mainreason is simple: Why should I spend money to be ignored by the same people who ignored me in highschool? Back then it only cost my self-esteem! Why would I want to stand around for 3-5 hours listening to people brag about their great house, great kids, great job, etc.? Getting the reunion notice was a sortof rite of passage for me. It was a reminder that time marches on â€¢ and soon enough I'll be getting thefifteenth reunion notice. I only hope I'll be better prepared! ---------- Western Front - 1990 April 24 - Page 11 ---------- . Tuesday, April 24,1990 Letters The Western Front 11 t Chairman's slaves say humor matters Editor:In Professor Lyle Harris' letter (April 20) condemning the article we penned, "A visit to the Green Apple: |Hard Core," (Western Front, March 16), Harris espouses the monumental importance of responsibilityin journalism. Assuming getting the facts straight before you sit down to write is central to responsiblejournalism, it seems that Harris has provided the readers of The Front with a shining example of what heclaims to be working againstâ€”his letter is full of factual distortions, exaggerations and falsehoods.Falsehood #1: "... many editors and staff members were highly criti- | cal of BCing's decision to run such meaningless and self-indulgent drivel," writes Harris. In actuality, the entire editorial board agreed withKing's decision. We didn't take a class poll, but there was no open disapproval either. It seems Harris Ihas taken it upon himself to speak for the newspaper staff. Falsehood #2: Harris makes the assertionthat "many businesses that regularly advertise" in The Front have canceled ads because of the "prurientcontent last quarter." He goes on to claim every issue of The Front this * quarter has been a meagereight pages and the King-Dujardin-Hines editorship is to blame. Fact is, the first issue of The Frontthis quarter was a whopping 12 pages. The decline in ads is a result of 50 percent of the advertisingrepresentatives quitting I at the end of last quarter, and traditionally there's less ads spring quarter.Only one advertiser quit as a direct result of the article on the Green Apple Cinema. Falsehood #3:Contrary to Har-r ris' letter, Bill Dietrich, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, was never a Front editor. In thesame issue as his letter appeared, Dietrich was quoted on the front page as saying,"They were toosmart to make me editor of The Front. It would have been a disaster." Falsehood #4: Harris claims Kingwas an irresponsible editor. If Harris were to look at the back issues of The Front, he would see that lastquarter was a landmark for The Front. King used good news judgment and taste. From revolution inCentral America to Apartheid in South Africa, to student demonstrations and bus strikes, the Frontcovered these important issues with accuracy, objectivity and professionalism. Students and facultypraised The Front for covering serious social and political issues as well as providing bold editorialcontent and entertainment. The editors worked hard to put out a quality publication, often putting inover 50 hours a week, while only getting paid for 15. Why so many hours? Because of the increasedquality of the publication, advertising sales escalated, resulting in 16 and 20 page papers, instead ofthe usual 12 pages. We did the extra work without complaining, often staying up until five or six in themorning in order to get the paper out. When we were done, we didn't expect much from our departmentheadâ€”maybe a handshake or a few words of encouragementâ€”instead, we got blasted in the verypublication we worked so hard to improve. Needless to say, we feel a little jaded toward the journalismdepartment. In our view, Harris is pandering to puritanical advertisers, while over-looking studentinterests. The Front is a college publication, but it's also a money-making operation â€” a businessthat ultimately exploits student labor and does its best to suppress genuine freedom of expressionwhenever said expression conflicts with the status quo. Despite critical words from our departmenthead, we're proud of the job we did and still believe our Green Apple story was a legitimate,entertainment worthy piece. If given the chance, we wouldn't change a word. Since when is humor not"speech that matters?" Mark Hines Derek Dujardin journalism majors Former editor grills Harris' faultyletter Editor: I feel I must set the record straight regarding a few items in Lyle Harris' April 20 letter"Chairman bashes Front Editors," in which he criticized the decision to run the story "A visit to theGreen Apple: Hard Core" (Front March 16). Yes, freedom of the press is a sacred right in this country.But at a university, so is the right to make mistakes and learn from them. Besides being the officialcampus newspaper, The Western Front is the core of the journalism degree. As such, an issue of theFront is not just a newspaper. It also stands as a example of half-a-week's course work. Harris writeshow The Western Front is such valuable experience for later careers on newspapers. Why is experiencevalued? Is it because an experienced person has made their mistakes on someone else's time? One ofthe purposes of The* Western Front is to be a journalism major's mistake (hence: growth) time.Honestly, though, I don't consider the Green Apple story a mistake. I re-read the story soon afterreading Harris's letter. It had the same result on me as before I made the decision to publish itâ€”Ilaughed. He talks of an adviser, editors and staff members who were critical of my decision to run thestory. What he fails to mention is that such criticism came lightly, in hindsight and carried with it theforce of discussion usually reserved for a forgotten comma. My point is, if Harris is going to wave thiscriticism in the face of the Front's readers, he should put it in context. He should mention prior topublication, the story was read by at least 10 editors, more than 15 reporters and an adviser with narya comment. Instead of making objections, most of these people expressed views which put them inthe same boat as me. During my five years at Western, I have heard many jokes made about the GreenApple Theater. But, really, I wondered, what was it like inside. Hines and Dujardin's story shed light on a business we were curious about. The same curiosity our journalism texts says is the hallmark of a great reporter. Judging from the way Harris' letter clashed with the comments I received about the story, it isobvious he and I don't travel in the same circle. My circle includes the students of this campus â€” aliberal, artsy crowd, not afraid to look at an unusual issue. Not surprisingly, they were curious aboutthe Green Apple. I'm not familiar with the people in Harris's circle, but I would guess the prudish Western Front advertisers he writes about are not the real curious type. I'm sorry if the article offended youLyle Harris, but the Green Apple Hines and Dujardin reported on is real. Harris calls this report"salacious pandering to the lowest form of meaningless sexual humor that affronts the dignity of thenewspaper and its readers." I call it funny. Contrary to what Harris writes, I don't think all sexual humoris death for a newspaper. We must keep in mind something the journalism faculty forgets. The Front is a college paperâ€” a college paper on the campus of one of the most liberal colleges in the state. Lighten-up Harris, we have the "news that matters" in force in the March 16 edition of the Front. Take, forexample, Michelle Partridge's excellent story about Leila Tamashiro, the Western student who died in acar accident. Look again at the paper, the Green Apple story wasn't on the front page it was on thesecond page of the Accent Sectionâ€”the arts and entertainment section of the Western Front.Finally I'd like to mention the factual errors and distortions in Harris's letter. The Front did not haveeight-page papers because of the "prurient" content of the winter quarter Western Front. The first issuethis spring was actually 12 pages. Also, Harris forgot to mention two points. The slide into eight-pagepapers began during â€” not because of â€” winter quarter. We had three eight-page papers in a row andno one said a word about "salacious pandering." To be fair, he should have mentioned two advertisingrepresentatives recently quit prior to the time he wrote his letter, those positions had not been filled.Another Harris error has to do with Bill Dietrich, the Fairhaven grad who recently shared in winning aPulitzer prize at The Seattle Times. Contrary to Harris' memory, Dietrich was never Western Fronteditor. I've pointed out these mistakes and misinterpretations, not to get back at Harris, but so readerswill ask the question: If a man with a Ph.D. in journalism makes errors, how can he expect perfectionfrom his students? Timothy K. King winter-quarter editor The Western Front Harris' motives questionedby reader Editor: In the letter in last Friday's Front, Lyle Harris, the chair of the JournalismDepartment, attacked Tim King for having exercised his free-press rights in an irresponsible manner lastquarter as editor of the Front. I think the charge of irresponsibility is debatable. But even supposing that it's true, why did Harris attack King in print? Harris ended his letter with this sentence: "We on thefaculty are left defending to the last breath your right to publish as you wish, but we will not waste oneminute defending your irresponsibility." Though Harris did defend King's right td choose withoutdefending his choices, Harris went on to attack King's choice in print. Why go so far? As chair of theJournalism Department, Harris could have spoken to King in private and left the matter there. SinceHarris didn't do that, it seems reasonable to conclude -. that Harris intended to achieve two results withhis letter to humiliate Tim King (a student) in public and to appease those advertisers and readers who had been offended. I suspect that in addition Harris unintentionally achieved a third result â€” toproduce a chilling effect on the exercise of free-press rights by future editors of the Western Front. Iwonder if Harris acted responsibly. Mark Hinchliff faculty Department of Philosophy iiiliMiiili^MIâ€¢â€¢NHMH 101. FOR SALE Deluxe 18 speed touring bicycle 21 in.

"If just some people gain the need to help the earth, then it'sworth it," he said. Barnes said he has been committed to the earth's needs for 15 years, the clean-up of Lake Washington in Seattle made him realize the earth needed saving. "We need to do it now, if wedon't the earth may rid itself of people as it did with another creature that ravaged it's landscape, thedinosaurs," he said. Some had a different viewpoint of the fair. Brent Coulson, a Western freshman,said although he thought the fair was put together well, he didn't agree with everything being said."You're not given the second side of the story here," he said. Coulson pointed out a table opposingnuclear power as well as one opposing the damming of the rivers that were present. 'Teople need to getpower somehow," he said. Another Western freshman, Jeff Robertson, agreed. "They ask you to signa lot of things here when you've only been exposed to one side of the issue," Robertson said. "Myself,Ireally don'tcare about a lot of these issues," he said. Robertson said he came to the fair hoping to findinformation concerning the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and was surprised to find the issuewasn't represented. Amnesty International, a group concerned with human rights through-, out the worldwas represented. Although not directly involved in environmental issues, workers at the table said theybelonged at the fair. Luke Jennings, a Western freshman and volunteer at the campus chapter ofAmnesty International said the people the group helps can help with the environment once they are freeand protected. "If people are worried about their lives, they can't worry about the earth," he said. LeslieLang said people in Whatcom County and Washington state have been worrying about the earth andthey have been doing something about it. Lang, who works for Environmental Resources Services,pointed out Washington state has one of the highest recycling averages in the United States. She saidcitizens of this state recycles about 29 percent of their materials, while the rest of the countryaverages about 10 percent. Still, she said, people in Whatcom County could do even more. Currently,the county doesn't supply recycling bins to dorms and apartments, where most of the studentpopulation lives. Lang said residents of these buildings could start their own in-house recyclingprograms by separating their waste and contracting with the county to pick up the materials. Shepointed out apartment buildings and businesses that have employed this system have found a littleextra work can save money on garbage pick up. Lang said the recycling movement has changed inthe past few the years. "Recycling has become more ingrained in the U.S. conscience. It's becomemore a question of personal ethics than making money," she said. Organizers and supporters of theEarth Fair hope all environmental issues become important to the people of the world. Food Continuedfrom page 1 The committee is trying to foster a sense of competition, Monroe said. A new concern in the contract process is an awareness of environmental issues, Monroe said. Recycling is one issue beinglooked at with more emphasis. Students seemed relieved alternatives are being considered for thecontract. Shanon Wallace, a sophomore, said she feels changes in the current program arenecessary. She would like to see the meal plan system changed, as most students do not use theentire meal allotment each week. Students want to see better quality and more nutritional foods served.Wallace said, "Starch surprise served three times a day gets old quick." A Marriott student employeesaid, "If I didn't have to, I wouldn't eat there." One solution to student complaints would be to accept abid from another firm. But Mike Lee, director of Food Services, said in a previous Front issue it wouldn't necessarily provide a solution. Lee, who works for both Western and Marriott, said "some of the thingswe do, such as steak night or sundaes on Sunday nights, are written into our contract here. In thatsense, a lot of the things we do here now wouldn't necessarily be a lot different even under anothercompany." A committee made up of students, faculty and staff has been established to review theproposals for the food service contract. The committee will evaluate the proposals and give them atabulated score, Monroe said. Kay Rich, the chairmen of the committee and director of UniversityResidences, will present the final recommendation to the Board of Trustees.

The section of High Street located in front of the bookstore onthe west side of campus is closed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday. The street is onlyopen to emergency and community transit, campus vehicles, UPS, Federal Express and the U.S. Mail Service during that time, Sgt. John Browne of University Police said. "The basic concept of why it isclosed is to provide a safer access for students to walk to the academic buildings on campus," Brownesaid. Unauthorized vehicles driving during the closed times â€” which are not posted â€” run the risk ofgetting a $71 traffic infraction. ~ Although violators will not necessari-" ly get a ticket for their firstoffenses, that desision will be left to the discretion of the officers, Browne said. "It is a violation of thecity ordi- Front/Barney Benedictson Drivers pass through campus on High Street Tuesday, despite itsclosure. nance/' he said. Road closure times are not posted because they were removed when theHaggard Hall construction began, Browne said. "They were originally going to close the streetaltogether," he said. The road will be open 24 hours a day, every day, during the intersession period,which runs from August 22 to September 20. Fairhaven hosts nature summit By Jay Tarpinian TheWestern Front Nature lovers arrived at Fairhaven College Saturday July 18 to begin a week ofenvironmentally centered activities and excursions. The college is hosting the National WildlifeFederation's 28th Annual Conservation Summit. "The main goal of the summit is to create anenvironment where families can learn about environmental and cultural concerns," said Niki Carr, anorganizer of the event. "What really makes (the summits) different from other eco-tours is theFront/Jay Tarpinian Richard Vanderway teaches about local Native American cultures. highly structuredactivity for each age group," Carr said. "Everyone, from age three to age 80, gets covered." The adults inthe group of about 520 people attend lectures to learn about the area's salmon fishing industry, inter-tidal ecology, ancient forests, birds, animals and the Pacific Northwestern American Indian culture. Then,to bring their the knowledge to life, they hike trails in Bellingham and Whatcom County and go sea-kayaking and whale-watching in Bellingham Bay. Children also participate in programs and field trips."We climb mountains and have snowball fights. We basically get to have fun while learning," said LukeConner, 16, who is from Bartonville, 111. and has attended the summits for approximatly seven years.His friend Jessica Springgay, a 15-year old from Gilroy, Calif., said the people are the reason she keepscorning back. The two said the summits serve both as a vacation and a way to maintain their interest inthe environment. Springgay said her favorite summit was in Hawaii because she "just liked the beach."Conner said he liked the scenery in Alaska, but the summit in New Hampshire was his favorite because"it was the first summit I went to and I have good memories. Also, the food was good." Conner's mother, Esther Siewert- Sitzmore, said she likes that her son can do his own thing, and his interest in thesummits is the driving force that keeps them coming back every year. "This is a really nice group ofpeople. There's a lot of camaraderie and friendship," Siewert-Sitzmore said. Carr said the planning forthe summits starts in September. Course instructors are selected by course proposals they submit to the Federation. Potential sites must meet certain housing, facility, meeting room, audio-visual and food-service heeds for the 400 to 600 people who attend. "We have to be able to feed them all at one time,"Carr said. Sites also need to be in an environment offering a variety of activities, and the organizationsthat host the summits need to be environmentally conscious, Carr said. Currently, two summits are held per year, Carr said. This year, the other summit took place in Silver Bay, N.Y. Previous locationshave included Hawaii, Alaska, the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Big Sky, Montana and theAdirondacks of New York. Each site is usually repeated two consecutive years. Bellingham hosted thesummit in 1988, '89, and '90, and next year's summits will be at Fairhaven College and in Estes Park,Colo.

The girl's basketball camp is sponsored by Western's women's basketball team and laststhree weeks â€” one week for individual players, one week for junior varsity-teams, and another weekfor varsity teams. At the end of July, the camp holds a tournament where each team participates in aminimum of three games, as well as practice scrimmages. "There are high school teams from Oregon, Canada and Washington," said Carmen Dolfo, Western's women's head basketball coach and campdirector. "Our camp sizes range from 160 to 115 players." The camps train girls to play and work bettertogether in teams. "It does make some money, but its main purpose is to promote young women to getinvolved with basketball," said Dolfo, who has been coordinating the camp for the last 12 years. "I thinkcamps are fun you want to mix hard work with fun," Dolfo said. Fall sports schedules: Get em whilethey're hot! Current Western players also take part in counseling campers. They act as coaches duringthe games, as well as working on skills. "These girls are awesome. They also listen very well," saidWestern Sophomore Julie Walker, 19, a player and counselor. Each camper pays $290 for one week,which includes a dorm room, lunch and dinners. Each day consists of three sessions. In thesessions, players do warm-ups, exercizes, learn strategies and play games. "I like the competitionbetween the different players; it teaches you how to be better," said 14-year-old camper MackenzieWarren. Teammate Jeaneen Brester, 14, agreed. "Everyone is so positive and the coaches teach you alot, they're really good," she said. "I think it's really neat for teams to come together and get better atbasketball," said 14-year-old camper Courteney Dann. "It's cool to get to know people and see themwhen you play against them in games," Front/Matt Renschler A high school basketballer works on herskills at Western's basketball camp. Western names women's assistant basketball coach By ChrisFryar The Western Front Former Western standout and All- American Gina Sampson was named theVikings' new assistant women's basketball coach July 8. Sampson, a four-year starter and two-timeWestern Female Athlete of the Year (94-95, 95-96), was selected from a nation wide search of nearly100 applicants. She replaced Lori deKubber, who resigned last spring after an eight-year tenure.Western Head Coach Carmen Dolfo said, Sampson immediately rose to the top during the selectionprocess. "I'm really excited that she's going to be a part of our staff," Dolfo said. "She understands whatwe do here. It's a good combination, and I think the players are going to really enjoy her." Sincegraduating from Western in 1996, Sampson has been doing her fair share of traveling. Last year, sheplayed and coached professionally in Australia and was named the Continental Basketball Association Player of the Year. Sampson said she was thrilled to be reuniting with her former coach and returning to Carver Gym, where she accomplished much playing. "I was very excited ... It'll be great working withCarmen; we really click and I'm excited about that," Sampson said. "I think with playing and coachingall over the place, I have a lot more to offer than I did when I first got out of here." Although she may onlybe a couple of years older than many of her players, Sampson said she is confident age will not be aproblem. She said she thinks the closeness in age might make it easier to relate to some of the playersand even take some pressure off Dolfo. During her playing days as a center, Sampson worked hard atgetting her job done in the paint â€” as a coach, her philosophy has stayed much the same. "I thinkdefense wins games," Sampson said. "My philosophy is that hard work isn't fun, but working hard paysoff, and the results of hard-work is fun!" Forever a student of the game of basketball, Sampson is now ina position to assume the role of teacher â€” a task she said she welcomes with open arms. Front/MattRenschler Gina Sampson keeps her eye on the court. "As a player, I learned a lot. Now, as a coach, Ifeel I can bring all that stuff to the team," Sampson said. Sampson said after coaching at virtually everylevel from middle school to professional, the collegiate level appeals to her most. "At this level they wantto be here; they want to work hard, they want to succeed, and I love that part of it," Sampson said.Before graduating from Western with a Sociology degree, Sampson secured her place in the schoolrecord books. She holds 18 school records, including career marks for rebounds (1,277), steals (284) and double-doubles (56, all for points and rebounds). She holds single-game marks for points (42) andrebounds (25). She also ranks second among Western career leaders in points (1,786), third in blockedshots (146) and is ranked 16th in assists (240). Having achieved success on the court at every level,Sampson has permanently traded in her high-tops for a clipboard, a bunch of X's and O's and a seat onthe sideline. Those who follow Sampson's career at Western and all others attending Viking basketball games this season will get a chance to watch yet another Sampson dribbling on the court of CarverGym, Gina is expecting a baby girl in September. Sampson is looking forward to the upcoming seasonthis fall. "1 look forward to contributing to this program and its players," Sampson said. "I think theyare going to be great this year. They mesh well and are a very close-knit team. It's very exciting." ---------- Western Front - 1998 July 22 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT ACCENT/FEATURES July 22, 1998 Friends of the Co-op groove atBoulevard Park By Rachel Dooley The Western Front Sailboats paraded around Bellingham Bay. Therewas a cool and continuous breeze coming off the water, and the sound of drums filled the air. Peoplewere dancing, laughing and enjoying the day. Children ran around with smiles on their faces andtreasures in their hands. The sun smiled down on a little girl spinning around, blowing bubbles thatdanced toward the stage. This was the scene at the Community Food Co-op's Second AnnualCommunity Party celebrating International Co-op Day. The festival ran from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.Saturday at Boulevard Park in Fairhaven. A large gathering of people of all ages came to bask in thesun. Others stopped to lay in the grass and listen to the free music provided during the day by suchbands as Craig Olson, Juba Marimba Band, Magical Vocal Rhythm Womym, Open Drum Circle, ELDJCreation and Devachan. Even though the buck-a-burrito extravaganza ended at 4 p.m., no one seemedto mind. People munched on free popcorn and tortilla chips and drank juices provided by the Co-op.Jamesa Bautista, a member outreach facilitator at the Community Food Coop, is the creator of theannual celebration. Bautista said the Co-op has had a celebration for its members every year, but shewanted to take it one step further last year and invite the community. The celebration is a way of"gathering people together Front/Amy Vandall Three-year-old Robert Rios gets his face painted at theInternational Co-op Day festival. to celebrate cooperativeness and have a good time," Bautista said. Theevent is sponsored by the Food Co-op, but it requires "a lot of volunteer work," Bautista said. The partycoincides with International Co-op Day, started in 1923 to "promote the cooperative movement andpeace and equality," Bautista said. Many outreach programs, such as Woman Care Shelter, CircleFoods, and River Farm, set up information booths about their programs to encourage communityinvolvement. The sound stage for the celebration was solar-powered by River Farms RenewableEnergy Project. The solar generator was hooked on the back of a Volkswagen van that had beensliced in half and painted orange â€” including the windows â€” except where spaces were left in theshape of the sun. Jeffree Utter, a Western graduate, is on the board of directors at the Co-op as wellas the Evergreen Land Trust, which owns five properties. River Farm is one of the five properties andis "a group of people who get together to form a community," Utter said. Utter said River Farm consistsof 90 acres in Deming where Utter lives and works on his energy project. He said River Farm's purposeis "informing the community about stewardship of the land and our relationships." River Farm is also an"educational center," showing people different aspects of agriculture, organic farming and ecologicalforestry. Each person living on the farm has a different area of focus. Utter said River Farm is a placewhere "you can have a normal standard of living." The celebration ended at 8 p.m. with Devachan's Celtic flavored acoustic performance. The day of celebration was over, but the message was not one to beforgotten. Bautista's idea to bring a sense of cooperation had succeeded. ---------- Western Front - 1998 July 22 - Page 5 ---------- 22, 1998 ACCENT/FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 5 Jody Bergsma: â€¢ â€¢ 1 enterprising ,local artist By Jenni Odekirk The Western Front A Native American girl sits cross-legged, swaddled in a beige and blue blanket, cradling a spear in her'lap with a w stoic look on her face. Behind her stands agray and white horse. Below her, the earth twists and turns. Above her, the light of dawn is rising throughsilver-blue clouds that form a buffalo, a wolf, a cougar and two bears; A white moon highlights the eye ofan owl, which blends seamlessly into the swirling amber, mahogany, lavender and navy sky. The words,"Sometimes I am by myself, but I am never ^ alone," appear below the image. Of the thousands ofwatercolor paintings Bellingham artist Jody Bergsma has painted, this one is her favorite. That paintingfalls into Bergsma's Natural Elements line, featuring wildlife in its natural surroundings painted in afantasy style. "I am very interested in the preservation of our natural gt; world and when you paint it, you make it important," Bergsma said. "And when you give the natural world a soul, you make it holy."Bergsma also paints a second line called Dreamkeepers, including wide-eyed, whimsical elves, friendlyanimals and, sometimes, inspirational messages. The words, "Care more than others think is practical,risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is reasonable and you will become more than others think is possible," adorn the image of a bright-eyed pixie boy and girl riding above the earthin a pink, purple and blue hot-air balloon named "Carpe Diem", flanked by a pair of gentle raccoons andmajestic eagles. Bergsma, 35, is tall and thin with bouncy short blond hair and large blue eyes andexudes the warmth and energy of her elfin characters. She said she paints Dreamkeepers withchildren especially in mind. "One of the things about painting for children is that there are not very manypeople willing to do it and there's a whole audience there of people under 20," Bergsma said. "It's been avery successful thing for me financially, because there's not very much competition." In addition to herartistic skill, Bergsma has a good business sense. In 1994, she won the Best Bellingham Businessaward for the Jody Bergsma Galleries and Cafe, located at 1344 King St., Bergsma Gift Gallery at BellisFair Mall and the Wholesale Warehouse at 1301 Fraser St. Prints of all sizes, figurines, stationary,cards and T-shirts are among other items featuring Bergsma's art can be found at any of her threegalleries. Bergsma's art became profitable when she began making prints in 1979. "That was the bigshift," Bergsma said. "From painting each piece separately to going ahead and letting machineryreproduce the imagery." "If only Van Gogh could have made prints," she added, laughing. Bergsmadecided to build her King Street gallery in 1984 â€” the year of the Vancouver Expo â€” after attending aseminar on the power of tourism and the importance of being located next to a main arterial of traffic.The adjacent cafe was originally meant to be a place to give lectures and serve cookies, but more foodwas added to the menu as the years went by. The cafe is open 12 hours per day to enable Bergsma tohave a sign on the freeway. "That was actually part of our advertising budget," Bergsma said. Bergsmasaid she started the gift store in 1989 to expand her customer base to Canadians. From her wholesalegallery, Bergsma sends artwork to about 3,000 stores in the United States and distributes it in Canada,England and Australia. Bergsma said she also sells a lot of artwork through 1- 800 lines and the Internet. "Marketing is beyond what you see visually in the three locations," she said. Bergsma used to paint atthe King Street Gallery, but when it got too busy, she started painting at her home studio. She goesinto seclusion six months of the year to paint, devoting half of her time to. children's paintings and theother half to nature and .more sophisticated paintings; "Often, my images will start in the middle of ablack background and I.go, 'oh, there's an inspiration coming forward,"'Bergsma said. "When I first startdrawing and painting, ifs very stumbly â€” I can't draw; I can't get the colors right, and it's not working,"she said. "It's Eke this every time. And all of the sudden, I get into a flow and then I go, 'I'm in' â€” Ialways say that â€” and then I can almost not draw any-thing wrong or paint anything wrong." Bergsmaworks with her inner world when she is painting, rather than images from reality. She attributed thatstyle and her interest in art to a childhood experience. "My mom made me draw for therapy because I had really bad problems with nightmares," she said. "When I drew them, I found that they were no longerscary," she said. "From the very beginning of time, I was encouraged to draw from my imagination instead of drawing from a still life." Bergsma drew all during her childhood and was invited by her aunt to takepart in a Port Angeles art show when she was 15. "I had all of these paintings that I'd won awards with,but I also had some children's paintings that I painted ... and people loved them," she said. Bergsmamade $60 at her first art show. By the time she was 18, she would routinely make thousands of dollars at art shows. Bergsma painted to pay her way through Western as an engineering major but did not believe she could make a living from it at the time. "I hadn't discovered printing yet," Bergsma said. Instead ofbecoming an engineer, Bergsma went to Vancouver, B.C. to study art. "That's where I started todevelop my Natural Elements style," Bergsma said. "They have a really incredible group of people calledthe group oi seven. They all spiritualize nature. What they wanted to do was show that nature is alive. Igot very excited about that." , Bergsma said'the impressionists have influenced her Work. "I alwaysloved the impressionists because I'm not really interested in reality," she said. "I'm interested in whatthe mind does with reality and how ... what you really see is reality filtered through their mind and soul."To remain inspired, Bergsma experiments with new topics and incorporates into her artwork thingsshe's seen on her travels around the world. Bergsma just came back from Ireland and said that willinspire this year's theme. "I looked at the Book of Kells at Trinity College and went through the museums there and was really excited," Bergsma said. This August, "Skycastles," the third book Bergsma has illustrated, will come out. She described the book, as an "inspirational book for kids with all thesebeautiful illustrations inside where fairies build this castle in the sky." Bergsma has also illustrated"Dreambirds," a Native American myth and "The Right Kind of Touch", a charity book aimed at preventing the sexual abuse of children. "The Right Kind of Touch" was voted Best Book by the Parent TeacherAssociation and Best Children's Book by Small Publishers. Next, Bergsma plans to release a line ofbookmarks that will have close-ups of her work on the top of them and quotes she has collected on thebottom of the bookmark. She said she plans to call the line the Famous Quotes Bookmark Collection.Bergsma also said she wants to illustrate a book a year for the next 10 years. "I could probably retireright now, but I'd be bored," Bergsma said. "On the other hand, you never know what tomorrow will bring."

This requirement was set by the head of the independent counsel investigating Clinton, Kenneth Starr â€” and it is a bit absurd. The question on most people's minds is whether this sort of testimonyviolates the privacy of the President and if the alleged affair between Clinton and Lewinsky involves thepublic. If President Clinton went to see a doctor and confessed a private detail of his life, he would nodoubt be guaranteed confidentiality. But, as Starr's witch hunt continues, it appears the only way topossibly obtain the nitty gritty facts of what happened behind closed doors is to question SecretService members. As of last Friday, three members of Clinton's security department had testified beforeChief Justice William Rehnquist, with more testimony scheduled, including that of Larry Cockell, headof Clinton's security department. So, the question remains: Should Starr, along with the entire world, bemade privy to what happened between Clinton and Lewinsky? I think not. I do not believe this is a matterthat conflicts between Clinton's personal and public life. On the other hand, the scandal allegedly tookplace within the White House Oval Office, so does it pertain to the public? The last time Secret Servicemembers were forced to testify was during the Iran-Contra affair. This was clearly an issue involving public safety, and more importantly, presidential loyalty to the United States. I do not believe this whole Clintonmess lies within those boundaries. The only person Clinton should have to tell the truth to is Hillary.Soon, Cockell will testify. He may just be the man Starr has been waiting to hear. As to what questionsStarr will ask Cockell, we can only wait and see. By forcing Cockell to testify, it is clear Starr does nothave a case without testimonies from people who may have been present when the alleged affair between Clinton and Lewinsky occurred. John Kottelly, Cockell's attorney, said, on the advice of counsel, Cockell would object to the specific question or type of question that Starr may ask. So, in other words, theSecret Service is willing to play along with Starr's charade as long as they do not have to blow Clinton'scover. If the judge overrules Cockell's objection, Clinton's attorneys would be able to intervene and appealthe judge's decision. This tells me that we will get us no further than we've already gotten, with Clinton'sattorneys being able to force a stalemate if push ends up coming to shove. Kottely also said he doubtsClinton's attorney-client privilege will be violated â€” but it already has with the Secret Service membersbeing called to testify. With Cockell taking the stand, his Secret Service status will no doubt be inquestion, because he will be in the public light. Can Secret Service members do a good job when they are the upcoming stars of tabloid television for this week? Clinton will now have to worry about every move he makes, and he will not just have to look out for media and other spies who are trying to infiltrate him; hewill also have to watch his back around his own Secret Service members. This is a position I believe noother president has been put in before. Starr is wrong to believe that Cockell's job as head of security forClinton will not be affected by his testimony. Clinton may be a scoundrel in some people's eyes, but he is still entitled to his private life â€” which is supposed to be protected by the Secret Service, not exposedby it. â€”Todd Wanke, Managing Editor AFTfeR THÂ£ SECRET gt;Â£RV*CE: The Western FrontEditor: Steven Uhles; Managing Editor: Todd Wanke; News Editor: Ken Brierly; Accent/Features Editor:Katy Calbreath; Opinions/Sports Editor Corey Lewis; Copy Editor: John Bankston; Photo Editor: BarneyBenedictson; Online Editor: Jeremy Reed; Adviser: Carolyn Dale; Business Manager: Teari Brown;Cartoonist: Chad Crowe; Guest Starring: Caroline Deck; Guest Guest Starring: Carey Ross StaffReporters: Erika Ahlstrom, Nicole Anstedt, Kari Benny, Nancy Boutte, Laura Campbell, AnnMarie Coe,Rachel Dooley, Chris Fryar, Briana Glenn, Nadja Kookesh, Alexander Mc Lean, Dan Miller, ChristopherMuellenbach, Kristen O' Connor, Jenni Odekirk, Daniel Peters, Timothy Reid, Matt Renschler, ChristineRoss, Jay Tarpinian, Greg Tyson, Amy Vandall, Tyler Watson.

PRU-RIDDE/V/6RANOf!ARÂ£NfOgt;- ZMMVN}nyPENIEQ Uouf^ys People should view elders as blessing but noburden Greg Tyson COMMENTARY Old age should be a wonderfulâ€¢ time in anyone's life.Retirement and a less chaotic schedule are just some of the perks associated with the September of our years. Yet, it rarely seems to turn out this way. Andy Rooney once said, although the thought of livinga long life appeals to everyone, the thought of actually getting old appeals to no one. Indeed, many of uswould rather be chased by a pack of ravenous pit bulls than get our first gray hair. We abhor old age anddiscriminate against those past their prime. No place is this truer than the work place. An article postedon the Career Builder Network's website stated last year nearly 16,000 American workers filedcomplaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging violations of the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Under the ADEA, it is illegal for a worker to be discharged ordemoted simply because of his or her age. Corporations seeking to cut costs generally targetemployees in their 50s and 60s who often earn higher salaries. Corporations also worry that if they donot let go of their older members, they will be viewed as too stubborn and expensive by potential clients. In the end, this comes down to the staunchest of American ideals â€” respecting your elders.Unfortunately, like listening to eight-tracks or taking the family to the local drive-in theater, this seemslike one tradition that has long since disappeared. For many college-bound students, the thought ofgetting old is hardly a concern. Why should it be? After all, many of us have our whole lives ahead of us.We still entertain thoughts of making it big and changing the world. But what about the other end of thespectrum? Unlike the brash, wet-behind-the-years upstarts, people in their 50s and 60s are generallymore conservative. Twenty-somethings, on the other hand, are much more apt to throw caution to thewind. Yet no matter how much work and time older people have invested in a corporation, manyexecutives are still not above letting go of a 62-year-old in favor "We need to get it out of our heads thatjust because somebody is old, he or she is ineffectual" of a 22-year-old. Sometimes the decision iswarranted. After all, most 62-year-olds are not going to possess the same spunk and go-get-'em attitudethat a 22-year-old will exude. Yet other times, a corporation will let an older worker go simply because itis looking for fresher blood. In this case, corporations are not only acting irresponsibly, but heartlessly,too. Older people deserve to remain employed as long as they can get the job done. If this means turning down a 22-year-old Harvard graduate, so be it. Older people who have worked hard for a corporation ---------- Western Front - 1998 July 22 - Page 7 ---------- July 22, 1998 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Drinking stats blurred Rachel DooleyCOMMENTARY A few months ago I was randomly chosen to participate in a mail survey fromWestern's Prevention and Wellness Services. I feverishly used my number-two pencil to answer the alcohol- related questions. I have been curious about this survey since I first laid eyes on the cheesyadvertisements that are often printed in The Western Front. I have chuckled at the ads showing smiling college students who seem happy and drug-free with the much-abused slogan "66 percent of Westernstudents have 4 or fewer drinks when they party." I wonder who these people really are in these ads.They look like the nicest people â€” your parents would never suspect they would ever drink alcohol.One look at the small print in these advertisements reveals that the survey was based on a whopping 512 students. How the center can justify this "66 percent" as a truth about Western's student populationis beyond me when there are more than 11,000 students attending Western. The information is also from 1996. By misrepresenting the facts, these ads give students the wrong idea about drinking at Western. I wonder if a larger percentage of students were given the same random survey, would the results bethe same? My guess is probably not. Establishing a dry campus is obviously not the answer. Just lookat the ridiculous aftermath of Washington State University. It's a very sad lesson about students of ourgeneration who seem to lack passion to stand up for something more important than alcohol. Peoplerioting because they can't drink, scares me. There are so many more worthwhile things to fight for.Western should definitely not follow in WSU's footsteps, If students couldn't drink on campus, what's tostop them from drinking off-campus or even in Canada? Supposedly, there has been a decline indrinking in the past 20 years. I recently read in The Daily University Star On-line that binge drinking isdescribed as having 4 or more drinks for women and 5 or more drinks in a row for men. After readingthat, I don't think Western should be exceptionally proud of that 66 percent when it doesn't reflect anaccurate percentage of the total student body. Even if the survey is based on 512 students it stillmeans 34 percent, or 174 students, do have a serious drinking problem. Maybe I am reading into these ads a little too much. The results of the survey I took will be available in the fall. As I anxiously await for the new ads, I hope Western comes up with a more positive way to reach out to the unknownpercentage of students who do drink more than 4 drinks when they party. I would rather see a picture ofsomeone who called a support group to get help from an advertisement that offer phone numbers orservices of places where students can call if they have a problem. I think that would send a morepositive message than that of a happy, smiling, supposedly drug-free college student. Net addictconfesses Dan Miller COMMENTARY I admit it; I'm an addict. I've lost many hours of sleep over thisparticular vice. It haunts me in my dreams â€” pleading and begging for my attention. I've fallen under the spell of my computer. ~ : Before you laugh, you must un-derstand that I've never gotten hooked onsomething like this before. My computer occupies so much of my precious time. Even as I write thisarticle, my computer is slyly toying with my brain. It's saying, "Come on, hook me up to the net, it won'thurt." So I do. As I dial, a small pang of guilt hits me. "I should be typing more," I say to myself, "Ok,I'll just hook up, no browsing." Suddenly/I hear a tone that alerts me that I have an incoming message viaICQ (a networking program that lets you and your friends quickly send messages back and forth to each other over the internet). The message is from one of my friends â€” a simple note that says "hey." Iquickly message him back with a "Hello" and continue on with my paper. I was determined to not lethim kill my "work time." After a couple of minutes, I feel this invisible nag; it's my computer again,subconsciously telling me to check my e-mail. I finally give in, assuring myself it only is e-mail; it can't be too bad. So I check it. Instead of e-mail, I accidentally click my browser. "Oh no!" I say out loud. Mybrowser opens revealing to me a flurry of colors and pictures, interesting news hyperlinks and ads.Fortunately, none of the news is exciting enough to make me stop working, so I minimize my browserand check my mail. Good, there is nothing new in the e-mail department either. Yet curiosity again getsthe best of me and I decide to check who is online with ICQ. I notice the friend who greeted me earlier isstill online. He must be playing a game or something because I have no other messages from him.Another beep flashed as soon as I finished the sentence. If s him. The message "was simple, yetdevilish, "Hey, Quake 2 rules." Quake 2 is a computer game that is played over the net where peoplecan do battle against each other in a series of mazes. I can easily get caught up in a game of Quake 2and play for four hours without a wink. If s great, addicting fun â€” and he knows it. Now at this point myinterest is perked. I message him back asking him which map he's on. Now I am at the point of no return. As I started off innocently typing away at this editorial, my mind has quickly become possessed withthoughts of checking e-mail, browsing and playing games. Now, you might think this is an oddoccurrence, but it happens all of the time. I am really impressed that I get as much work done as I do.Everyday the same struggle is played out in my mind. Sometimes I'm lucky and win, but most of thetime my work and I becomes a casualty to hours and hours of pure enjoyment at the keyboard of mycomputer. Fortunately, my friend, "the tempter" quickly messaged me and said he had to go and hecan't do anything at the moment. In a breath of relief I know I can finish the article and save the day. â€¢â€¢ â€¢ l l l i K i i i l l i S S i ilPllllw8HHS^HIIl^^^B â€¢MIHllMi MOVE-IN SPECIALS!

This was her second year participating in the walk. "It's surprising to me that this(walk) is so easy for me, but this is so important. It's the family things that are the hardest on mebecause he's not there," Handerson said. Dec. 1 was annual World AIDS Day and brought peopletogether not just from Whatcom County but from all over the world. Walkers joined others at the churchand packed the pews. The ceremony included various speakers, all of whom have had personalexperiences with AIDS. Many spoke of family members lost to AIDS and the journey they went throughright up to the end of their, loved ones' lives. Other speakers talked about what it is like to live with HIVor AIDS on a daily basis.

The number of Western graduates in the class of 1997 who secured jobs in their field within three months of graduation increased, according to a yearly Career Services Center survey. "We're getting a sense that this pastyear is going to be even stronger," said Marcia Lewis, assistant director of Western's Career ServicesCenter. The average beginning salary for Western's class of 1997 increased by about $1,000 per year,Lewis said. "It's a very tight labor market, but on top of that, Western graduates have a very goodreputation," said Lewis, who helps organize the survey each year.

"Students don't realize it's theft," said Viking CommonsManager Norry Yamashita. Every year, Marriott spends roughly $25,000 to replace silverware, dishesand chairs. More than half of this, about $5 per meal plan every year, goes toward replacing what isstolen. Marriott officials say taking food and other items from the three dining halls on campus raisescosts for students. "(Stealing) hurts the students," Yamashita said. "We're here to manage thestudents' money, and stealing only raises the cost (of meal plans)." Determining exactly how muchtaking food costs students is nearly impossible, but if Marriott were to switch its program to an all-you-can-take meal plan, the cost to students would triple, Yamashita said. "I would rather see foodtaken and eaten than see food wasted," said Kappa resident Mike Sullivan. In an attempt to keep costslow, Marriott places amnesty boxes in all of the residence halls at the end of each year for students toreturn stolen dishes, no questions asked. "It's amazing how much stuff is out there," Yamashita said. While many dishes are returned via the boxes, Yamashita said his biggest concern is all the dishes that get thrown away. "Students take dishes, then throw them away when they get dirty," Yamashita said."This really starts to add up." Many students complain about being hungry when the dining halls areclosed, but Yamashita said this is no longer a valid excuse with the extended hours of the dining halls.From 7 a.m. until 6:45 p.m. weekdays, at least one of the dining halls is open, except for half an hourbefore dinner. This year, Marriott even added the late-night hour at the Viking Commons from 9 p.m. to10:30 p.m. "The excuse of being hungry later doesn't slide," Yamashita said. The rule states thatnothing can be taken out of the dining halls, but Marriott officials have adjusted the policy to allowstudents to take ice cream cones or fruit they have already begun eating out of the commons. Otherschools, such as the University of Washington, have a system similar to flex or munch moneyprograms, that give students an allowance and requires them to pay for every item they take. Marriott has not considered adopting this system, but it is continuing to search for ways to rectify this problem. ---------- Western Front - 1998 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS December A, 1998 Campus Police: Nov. 24,12:06 a.m.: A vehiclewas reported damaged in the 500 block of South College Drive.

It was originally created in fall 1995 for the purpose of "increasing (the) utilization oftechnology in higher education" because "state-allocated funds are inadequate to meet theprojected technology needs of students." "We wouldn't have any of the (technology) we have todaywithout the Student Technology Fee/' said Associated Students Vice President for Academic AffairsVictor C. Cox. Students provide approximately $350,000 per year. The University annually provides$100,000, and Western Foundation provides $100,000 A.S. President Sarah Steves said. The fee isimposed on all full-time, on-campus students and may soon be replaced. The program must be re-implemented every four years with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The four years are up in 1999and there are three options for the STF Program: keep the program as it is, modify it or use thelegislative model as other state universities do. Under the current program, the STF Committee isresponsible for recommending allocations to the university president, but Karen Morse has the finaldecision. . The STFC is comprised of the A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs, who acts as thechair, A.S. vice president for Student Life, two students appointed by the A.S., vice provost forInformation and Telecommunication Services, a faculty representative from the Academic TechnologyCommittee and a faculty representative appointed by the Faculty Senate. According to literatureprovided by Cox, modifications to the program could change the source of the funding. Funds couldcome from the students alone, the university and students or Western Foundation and students. Theproposal process could also be modified. Adopting the legislative model would give final say about which proposals are accepted to the A.S. Board rather than Morse. However, funding from the university andWestern Foundation might disappear, and the student fee would increase. Student fees at other stateuniversities using the legislative model are much higher, Cox said: $40 at the University ofWashington and Washington State and $25 at Central Washington. The legislative model can also beabolished each year by the A.S. "That could be a downfall for an uninformed group," Cox said. The STFProgram provides new computer labs, upgrades, servers like Titan, as well as non-computer technology. With the STF program, students have a say about how their money is allocated, but unfortunatelythe opportunity is rarely taken advantage of, Steves said. Students and student groups may submitproposals for allocations of no less than $10,000, but only one such proposal has ever beensubmitted, she added. . Most proposals come from different departments for technology withinspecific departments, Cox said. The deadline is Jan. 29, 1999, and each proposal must include threesections. Section one is a project overview. Section two should describe the project in detail, how itmeets STF objectives and its impact on existing academic programs. Section three is a detailed, line-item budget. "That can be very intimidating for students," Steves said. In the last three years,$2,046,778 has been spent on everything from science work kits to projectors to new computer labs.Students provided 56 percent of the funding â€” $1,156,213. Lack of student participation is greatly dueto the intimidating proposal process and a lack of student knowledge concerning the program, Stevessaid. Both Steves and Cox said they urge students to approach the A.S. for assistance with theprocess. "It can't hurt to try," Cox said. "Even if (a student proposal) gets turned down, at least it shows the University that (students) are using the program." Nessie, from page 1 Titan system. Folders, some tapes, log-ins and Pine address books may be converted to Titan before Nessie is retired.

AIDS is spreading exponentially among women, people of color, I.V.drug users and young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Allsopp stated that as of December 1996,more than eight-million cases of AIDS have been reported worldwide, resulting in 6 million deaths. Ithas been estimated that approximately 750,000 individuals in the United States and 23 million individuals throughout the world are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Allsopp informed the audiencethat 700 people in Whatcom County are currently infected with AIDS. "I could just stand here and tellyou all of these numbers and not tell you what it means to me. We each have to figure out what it means to each one of us," Allsopp said. "It means to me that this is a world epidemic; its pandemic. It's not just Whatcom County; it's not just Seattle; it's not just Washington; it's not just the United States ... It's allof us â€” it's a plague." After the speeches were over, people lined up and walked to the front of thechurch to light candles in memory of people who died from AIDS or are still battling the disease. Eachperson placed their lit candles in a container filled with sand while saying the names of loved ones whoare infected with HIV or AIDS. A string quartet played music during the candlelight vigil. Approximately40 candles burned brightly as people shared a moment of silence to remember those who have lost theirlives to AIDS. "The candles represent more than these lives. They represent the spirit of love and hope all over the world," said Heather Lynn Hanson, interim minister of the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship. "Let us not let these lights go out in our memories and in our hearts. So as you leave today, carry the lightswithin your heart, and share it with others." After the AIDS vigil, many gathered to talk about each other'sexperiences and to give one another support and understanding. "(The vigil) was a lot more emotionalthan I had expected. I didn't expect to be drawn into it as much as I had/' said 23-year-old Westernstudent Bruce Goodings. "Just hearing people's names being mentioned and seeing the candles lit andeverybody going up definitely made me stop and think of the people who I have known and know of thatare dealing with AIDS. It made the whole ceremony a lot more personal." DOWNTOWN JOHNNYS ^ l i ^ i M M K !

The Huxley team focused on the culturalimplications of. the 190-acre clear-cut proposal and its effects on forests and streams. AlthoughHuxley's team said the proposed timber harvest should not take place, it expressed the fact that clear-cutting is an inevitable part of our culture. Nature is an essential part of Lummi culture. If these sightsare cleared, the purity of the place is ruined and they will not be able to carry on their traditions, saidTom Edwards from the Lummi Nation Natural Resources Department. "A lot of our resources are dying,and the native people are going to perish if we continue to take more than we have," Edwards said. "We, the Lummi people from Snohomish, Skagit, Nooksack and Whatcom counties, are spreading the wordof the impact from the clear-cut proposal." The Huxley team consisted of nine Western studentsbelonging to the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Members included Jennifer Goodhart, BrianAtwood, Marc Beaiidreau, Shawn Boeser, Ken Charm, Kate Cox, Jill Olson, Heather Romano andRebecca Schlender, with the advisement of professor Lynn Robbins and William Summers. TheWashington State Department of Natural Resources proposed to clear-cut 190 acres of forest in theLake Whatcom Watershed. The harvest plan included three units near Austin Creek â€” a major tributary to Lake Whatcom. The clear-cut is expected to yield eight-million board feet of timber, which will havean adverse effect on forest growth. This in turn will increase sedimentation in area streams, increasing stream temperature and water levels, the assessment plan states. This is a part of DNR's 60-yearharvest plan, which brought many citizens to the open forum last night. The students proposed analternative to clear-cutting, which is to have partial-cutting or random removal of individual trees.Activists, community members and interested students questioned the team's findings and voicedtheir own opinions about the impact of clear-cutting. The Austin Flats and areas near the proposedlogging activity are a sight of cultural significance for the Lummi people. The Austin Flats is used byyoung Lummi men to go on their vision-quests. "We go into an isolated place where we only drink spring water, eat grasses, berries and roots," Edwards said. "We are one with ourselves and nature. This ishow we receive our vision." Besides the quests, the land is utilized for trails and contains pet-roglyphs,which are Native American rock carvings and paintings. Some of these are more than 500 years old,Edwards said. "Clear-cutting in a watershed is not a good idea," EIA lead editor Heather Romano said."The people here are most concerned because of it being part of the 60- year plan. They areconcerned with the cumulative effects." Sudden Valley resident Jamie Berg got involved in the AustinFlats issue because her home is directly in the path of possible debris flow if the proposed clear-cuttakes place. "This will not only affect my Whatcom â€¢-â€¢ I â€¢ " I II ' Propos^^tf|yrest Areas Frontgraphic/Ben Stabler The Austin Flat proposal discussed at Tuesday's forum includes clear-cutting 190acres in the Austin Creek Sub-basin area. family and the quality of our lives," Berg said. "It will alsoaffect the quality of life of the watershed as a whole due to the fact that clear-cutting separatestributaries that cause erosion, which decreases water quality." To Ken Charm, the EIA cultural-featuresspecialist, it is an all-or-nothing issue. "In terms of cultural effects, the way the Lummi Nation uses theland â€” any forest cut, whether it is a partial-cut or a clear-cut, any cut at all is going to alter the waythey (Lummi) can use the land," Charm said. "Based on the cultural problems, we make a preferredrecommendation that no cutting takes place at the Austin Flats."

Gov.Gary Locke's Commission on the Future of Higher Education released its final report on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The report outlines how to support the increasing demand for post-secondary education. The 21-member commission, appointed by Locke, spent nine months devising what it believes to be a viablevision of higher education through the year 2020. "This was a very serious attempt to imagine what theeducation system will be in the next 20 years," Western Provost Dennis Murphy said. The reportestimates that by the year 2020 Washington's post-secondary education system will need to support100,000 more learners than it is presently serving. Most of this increase will be seen in the next 10 years, said Judy McNickle, the legislative liaison for Western. "That is roughly nine Western(-sized) universities in a decade," McNickle said, adding that it is not in the state's best advantage to build nine newcampuses in 10 years. The 2020 commission agrees and suggests that existing public institutions findnew ways to stretch capacity, such as offering classes into the evenings and on the weekends. Thisexplosion in demand for post-secondary schooling is driven partially by demographics, the report said.Some uncertainty is involved when looking at a long-term participation forecast based on demographicprojections, said Jay Teachman, a Western sociology professor. "When looking at demographicprojection, we know how many people are physically available to go to college; what we aren't certainabout is how many will enroll," Teachman said. The commission's report argues that in the next 20 years our economy will become more knowledge-based, meaning that good jobs will require higher levels ofskill and knowledge than in the past. Commission members recommend that post-secondary educationbe a higher priority in the state budget. Administrators at Western agree and hope the governor andlegislature take a serious look at funding for post-secondary education. "Education is an investmentinto the future, and if you 'X^nnnn 300000 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 o â€¢ | Hm HMI^m ^H ^1 ^H â€¢â€¢ ^H ^ 1 ^M ^1 ^^| â€¢ ^^H ^^H 1998 2010 2020 Front graphic/Ben Stabler â€¢Demand Due to Knowledge Based Economy a Demand Due to Population Growth â€¢ Demand Due toKnowledge Based Economy 32000 Source: 2020 Commission don't invest in the investment you have aminus return in the future," said Bradley Smith, dean of Huxley College of Environmental Studies. "Weare a state-funded university without which we would not even exist," Murphy said. The commission didnot determine how to fund changes but did make suggestions about how to cut costs. Onerecommendation is to move students who learn faster through the system faster. The commissionsuggests allowing more high school students to earn college credits, and to reduce duplication classesfrom other institutions. Some say moving a student through the education system as fast as possiblerobs them of the opportunity to explore their options. "If the legislator had its way, you would elect yourmajor the minute you walked on campus and would not be allowed to change it," said Marie Eaton, deanof Fairhaven College. Commission members say strong resources, such as advisement and information,will allow students to make better choices about higher education. It also suggests four-year institutionswork more closely with community colleges. A common goal among administrators at Western, is just that â€” to maintain a better bridge of communication with prospective Vikings coming directly out ofcommunity colleges. "Transfer students by definition come to us with all their GURs fulfilled," saidPeter Elich, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, "yet several transfers come unprepared." "At atwo-year college you don't really focus on a four-year degree; you focus on an Associates of Arts degree, which isn't too specific," Western junior Erik Christensen said. President Karen Morse and presidentsfrom other public and independent colleges and universities have vowed to work with commission leaders, the governor and legislators to "expand the dialogue about this report and begin taking the necessarysteps to implement its recommendations," Morse said in a press release. "It is estimated thatimplementations of the report would cost more than one billion dollars," Morse said. "Clearly it cannot beimplemented unless we all commit to its objectives and work together over a sustained period of time."So what happens next? "It is too soon to tell," McNickle said. People are still looking it over. "Whathappens to (the commission's report) depends, in part, on how actively the persons who wrote and thegovernor pursue it," McNickle said.

The raw numbers of students graduating from high school andcommunity college prepared for further education has risen, said John Swiney, associate director ofadmissions at UW. This growth has had a significant effect on the UW's applicant pool, Swineysaid. In fall of 1998, UW denied 1,573 resident freshman admissions, compared with 1,000 five yearsago and less than 400 eight years ago, Swiney said. To narrow down applicants, UW has increased itsstandards for admissions, forcing students to apply somewhere else, Swiney said. That somewhere ismore likely Western than public universities east of the Cascades, Registrar Joe St. Hilaire said. Hespeculates that part of its appeal is the location. Enrollment growth during the last nine years shows that something is attracting students to Western. Enrollment is at an all-time high of 11,655, up from 9,500in 1989, St. Hilaire said. This enrollment growth has created a bit of a problem in that the number ofstudents is increasing more rapidly than structural support, said Western Provost Dennis Murphy.This is the reason for increased use of classroom space in the afternoon and evening, Murphy said.Like UW, Western has also seen a steady increase in freshman applicants during the last five years;however, transfer applicants at Western and statewide have been decreasing until just this year,Admissions Director Karen Copetas said. Western's Office of Admissions already seeing an increase intransfer applicants, so admissions is becoming more competitive. To narrow down prospectivetransfers, Copetas said she is beginning. to look for major preparation. "It seems there is still anassumption that you get your GURs or (Associate of Arts) and then worry about your major," Copetassaid. Washington State's enrollment has not been quite as steady as Western's. In fall of 1998,Washington State had a 20-percent increase in freshman applicants from last year, compared toWestern's 1.3-percent increase and UW's 10-percent increase. The university has been preparing forenrollment growth, Registrar Dave Guzman said. Washington State has seen enrollment and freshman applicants decrease over the last few years, so the large pool of freshman applicants this fall waswarmly welcomed, Guzman said. "Right now we are comfortable with the growth in enrollment andare willing to take more," Guzman said. Both Central and Eastern are ready to take more students aswell. Eastern has about 7,700 students on its campus this fall. It can easily accommodate 9,000, ---------- Western Front - 1998 December 4 - Page 7 ---------- December 4, 1998 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 From Funky ?o fine* Rainbow Jambo Candles^ixtH^I/{/(ult;e Teapots Great Gifts at the Co-op Foorco-oP 1220 N.

So unless theplan is do all the shopping the day before Christmas, overdraw the checking account and pray that richaunt Zelda doesn't make bright-red footy PJ's for all the nieces and nephews, it might be wise to startthinking along the lines of a creative and inexpensive gift. Here are a few ideas to get the brain churningfrom the creative mind of Glenda Curdy, a weekend crafter. A handmade gold or silver leaf pictureframe is simple and inexpensive to make, yet the finished product looks rich and classy. To make it, find a wood or plastic picture frame of the desired size and style. The thrift shop is a great place to hunt forsomething like this. Buy a gold- or silver-leaf kit at Michaels Arts and Crafts, and you're in business. A gold- or silver-leaf kit cost less than $10 at Michaels and will cover about five seven-by-11-inch frames.The estimated time for the project is two to four hours, which includes dry time between base coat,adhesive and the optional sealer. Give a gift from the kitchen with Curdy's Chinese walnut recipe. Thesetasty treats are similar to honey roasted peanuts but are made with walnuts. One batch makes aboutfour cups of walnuts, minus a few for taste testing. For gift-giving, simply put Chinese walnuts inplastic zipper bags, or for a more creative packaging idea, try decorating an old peanut can withholiday paper and stickers. The cost of this project is less than $10 and estimated preperation time istwo hours. Personalize a Christmas ornament for a friend or family member by doing it yourself. Simplybuy a plain, glass Christmas ball for 99 cents at Michaels â€” clear, frosted or colored of the ands Oeart will work â€” a gold or silver paint pin, about $3, and ultra-fine glitter, about $2. Write a personalmessage on the ball or draw an abstract design with the paint pen. While the paint is still wet, sprinkleultra-fine glitter over it and shake away excess. If using a clear or frosted ball, try filling it with tinsel.Estimated time for this project is less than one hour. Here is another simple gift idea that is inexpensive. While grocery shopping, pick up two jars of your favorite jam or jelly. Cut out a square of Christmasfabric to put over the lid of the jar and tie it on with some twine or ribbon. Next comes the part thatmakes this gift a little more unique. In a little plastic bag, put enough biscuit mix to make a singlebatch and tie it to the jar of jam with the recipe for biscuits. For a more personal touch to this gift, makeyour own jam or jelly. If looking for a gift for a fellow Western classmate, here is an idea. Try covering amemory book with a Western T-shirt. Materials you will need include a Western T-shirt, glue gun, gluesticks, thin cotton batting and a memory book. Cover the book as you would cover any other book withpaper and use the hot glue gun to secure. Mod Podge is also fun to work with. It's tacky glue that dries with a nice smooth finish. Mod Podge is perfect for making collages â€” no more peelingpictures or fading colors, just a smooth, p r o f e s s i o n a l - once you gets started you will be ModPodging everything, Curdy said. A small bottle of Mod Podge sells for $2.69 at Michaels and will coveran area of several square feet. For an even smoother finish, use a sealer. It comes in a spray can andsells for about $5. To put that finishing touch on that homemade gift, here are some packaging ideas. Take a sheet of news print, large enough to wrap your present in, and sponge-paint stars and Christmas trees to make creative wrapping paper. Another idea is to paint and decorate a cardboard box withacrylic paint, stamps, stencils and stickers. Plain cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes are be foundat Michaels. Prices range from $1 to $8 depending on the size and style. Acrylic paints are 59 cents per tube, and an optional sealer is $4.29. The most important thing to remember when brainstormingcreative gift ideas is to really know the individual for whom you are making the gift.flHBtfBHMHHH^^p^can 8^^P^mHIMiHflllHHHibe used on l l l l S l B i B l i B l l B l l l B B I I B almost anysur- I ^ B ^ B ^ B I B i l l H I l l l l l l i l f a c e â€” mirrors, | ^ ^ H ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l H H l H H R p i c t u r e frames,B l I I B l l i i i i i i ^ ^ ^ B K B I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B B ^ B boxes and even ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ furnitureâ€” with â€¢ | | i | i | ^ ^ ^ i K ^ ^ P ^ ^ ^ J ^ ^ J ^ p whatever the ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B heartdesires, P ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ s u c h as pictures ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ S offriends and ^ S l ^ ^ ^ M H H H H I H ^ f f i H I family, cut-out H B l i ^ B B ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B picturesfrom last . ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ f t year's Anne I p l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B G e d d e s calendar, I J l i l i B B B B i i B i l ^ ^ l ^ p j B H B l magazine clip- I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ pings, stickers, ^KK^^^^M^^^^^^^^S^^^O^IQ^YQS or dried ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ m ^ ^ ^ f H ^ ^ ^ flowers.f^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mod Podge is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^M easy to work with ff^Si^M^^^^^S^^SM^^^^^^^S.and a lot of fun; Front/Jesse Kinsman Easy-to-make crafts are an inexpensive alternative to trendy,mall-bought presents. A triumph for By Scott LaMont The Western Front After the success ofDreamworks' computer-animated film, "Antz," and with anticipation building for its next animated feature,"The Prince of Egypt," Walt Disney Studios has something new to worry about â€” competition. ^1Luckily for the mouse house, Disney has Pixar Animation Studios as its secret weapon againstSpielberg-fueled Dreamworks. This comes in the form of "A Bug's Life," Pixar and Disney's latestcomputer-animated feature since the highly impressive "Toy Story" in 1995. "A Bug's Life" is truly a q-â€”. i. ,-- sight to behold.. ^"'^taf^ti T h i s T^'O^" fihr1 'takes computer animation to a new level in richly creating the world seen from the eyes of its smaj^ est inhabitants â€” the bugs. The story follows acolony of ants, feverishly spending every minute of the day collecting seeds and fruits for grasshoppers.The grasshoppers, it seems, have convinced this colony of ants that they were put on Earth for the solepurpose of serving the grasshoppers, a way of life that one ant wishes to challenge. His name is Flik(voiced by Dave Foley, "NewsRadio," " K i i | in the Hall"), a clumsy inventor who would do anything toimpress his colony and the beautiful Princess Atta (voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Seinfeld").

Just make sure to stick around ring the closingcredits for one of the funniest ideas to ever ce the animated world. The story is all too common â€” boyseeks job, company says no, boy publishes book ridiculing company. "J. Crewd" by Justin Racz cameabout just that way After failing an j interview with the popular cloth- J ing catalog, Racz was inspired toparody the trendy J. Crew. The book is set to look like the J. I Crew catalog with a few absurd changes.J. Crew and its models are an easy target for Racz's \ jokes. The J. Crew catalog, J received bythousands of col- | lege students every month, is about as realistic in its imagery 1 as a soap opera. The models lounge playfully about wearing their $200 sweaters smiling, as if they know something we don't."J. Crewd" pokes fun at those models and the products they are selling. Racz admits that he too ownsand likes J. Crew clothing, but that it was ripe for parody. "I would look around my college cafeteria andsee all the beautiful people wearing the same roll-neck J. Crew sweater," Racz said. Asked why hechose J. Crew, Racz said the catalog was impossible to ignore. He said J. Crew had become almost like his best friend appearing in his mailbox faithfully every month. And, Racz said, the lifestyle J. Crewportrays is absolutely hysterical. "Everyone is fabulously blond, fabulously happy, fabulously wealthyand fabulously unemployed," Racz said. "When you read the catalog you wonder, 'Why is everyonesmiling? Why is that guy having so much fun playing darts? Why are there two girls and a guy in akitchen holding a six-foot sub?'" Racz said. Racz's "J. Crewd" gives readers a chance to laugh atthemselves and their closets full of J. Crew clothing. "J. Crewd" offers products such as the layered look,called the "nine-in-one," for $208. "Trickle down to a T or bulk to a beefcake. Four layers on, five layers off. Seven layers on, two layers off. One layer on, eight layers off. Quite frankly we could really care lesswhat you do once we get your money," the description states. fashionably Crewd Generodity By DaveShepherd The Western Front It seems these days retailers can hardly contain the urge to put up aChristmas tree before Thanksgiving, but one has sprung up in Old Fairhaven that is more than justwindow dressing. Village Books has kicked off its Fifth Annual Giving Tree, in the hope of providing themagic of books to more than 600 underprivileged area children. It's a hol- â€¢ iday book drive â€” sort of a literary "Toys for Tots." Tucked just inside the front door is the largest of Village Books' three GivingTrees. The second is downstairs, and a third is located in the community center in the old J.C. Penneybuilding downtown. A holy host of paper angels dangle from the trees' piney boughs, printed with names,ages and genders of local children. Patrons select a book they feel will be appropriate for their"angels," and Village Books knocks 20 percent off the price. Donors then get to replace the angels withstars. Six agencies provided names for the drive â€” Brigid Collins House, Lummi Tribal School, LummiHead Start, Big Brothers Sisters, Early Childhood Opportunities ^ Northwest and the Boys and GirlsClub. Village Books employee Alissa Haslam is coordinating the project for the second year in a row.This year, she added the Brigid Collins House, and she coordinates the effort to ensure donations arewrapped and delivered before Christmas. "The point is to get books into the hands of kids who â„¢wouldn't normally get them," Haslam said. She said she enjoys the connection Village Books has withBellingham. "We've been here 18 years and have a lot of community support." Village Books ownersChuck and Dee Robinson said in Under the Front/Jesse Kinsman Alex, 9, and Megan, 5, help motherLaurie Mullurky choose names from Village Books'giving tree. Also available is the ever-popular "pocketpanty," just in case your jeans don't offer enough pocket room. Racz explained his I inspiration for the"pocket panty" came from his I grandmother because she was always stuffing things in her bra. Hefigured she needed a pocket. "Li'l Pimper, Slim Daddy, and Mommy too . . ." f showcases clothinguseful in street professions. f For example, "The Gap Skirt. Are those your cheeks or are you just happyto see me? Underwashed for no comfort whatsoever. This baby's tight." And the "Gogogo Boots. Theseboots are made for hooking." On the other end of the spectrum is the J. Christian page. Choir robes areoffered for all the seven sins. The J. Crewd Bible is also offered. "Hallelujah, the Good Book is back!Sassier than bold. French underwear support for a very chesty bible. (Glows in the dark)." The bible is asteal for just $42. The book of Mormon is just $38. Clothing and bible's aren't the only options in "J.Crewd," however. You have your choice of children in the J. Cloning section. They even have a sale page."The Jenny" is only $6,000. She is "street smart, not book smart." "The Suzy" is a bit pricier at $17,500.She is: "forward, likes Stevie." And, you have to love "The Scotty" for $24,050. He's described as:"Machiavellian." The book offers a good laugh, especially for those who are prone to waiting patiently fortheir J. Crew catalogs to arrive. The photography is great and looks a lot like the real J. Crew. The coveris graced with a man sitting on his throne â€” bathroom, not royalty â€” J. Crewd is spelled proudly in the same font as the catalog. But, beyond the first read, "J. Crewd" loses its value. The price is a bit steepat $11.95 for a few minutes of fun. For those who can spare the money, J. Crewd makes interestingcoffee-table material. It is also an entertaining view at the retail industry in America. Most collegestudents, however, would be better off saving their pennies for the Christmas edition of J. Crew, inmailboxes sometime now. Â±ree their monthly newsletter, "The Chuckanut Reader," that the giving treeis fast becoming a holiday tradition for some generous families. "We know one family who comes inevery year with their college-age kids," the Robinsons said. The idea for the giving tree came fromindependent bookstore owner Mary Gay Chipley in Blytheville, Ark. Chipley, a friend of the Robinsons,brought in Workday Publishing to donate all the angels and stars used on the trees. As the program hasgrown nationally, HarperCollins and Bantam Doubleday have joined in the holiday spirit. The season of giving extends past December for Village Books. In October, it sponsored a sleep-over in the store tobenefit the Whatcom Literary Council, raising more than $300. Earlier this year, the store won a window-display contest and received a free shipment of "Black and Blue," a book about domestic violence byAnna Quindlan. It sold the books at 20 percent off, giving all of the proceeds to Bellingham's WomenCare shelter. The store even sends a team to "Bowl for Kid's Sake." In an age where massive bookchains such as B. Dalton Booksellers and Barnes and Noble are siphoning off customers from localindependents, Village Books continues tO thrive, most likely due to special programs and communityevents like these. The Giving Tree program will run through Christmas. With 600 donations to deal with,Haslam is looking for volunteers to help wrap some of the presents at 7 p.m. Dec. 14 and Dec. 21 in thestore. The Colophon Cafe downstairs will provide free refreshments to keep volunteers happy. VillageBooks is located at 1210 Eleventh St., in the center of Old Fairhaven.

Western took the win, 107- 89. JaredStevenson finished with 25 points and 10 assists, while Mike Sims knocked in 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Cougar's guard Toby Merchant and Western's Jared Stevenson engaged in a game ofone-upmanship. Merchant and Jared Stevenson exchanged three-pointers and long-range jumpers, both finishing the first half with 16 points. With time winding down, Jared Stevenson drilled a three-not stopSims, Jared Stevenson or Jacob Stevenson. "They came out pretty small, so that played to ouradvantage," said. Shelton Diggs, a freshman guard from Long Beach, Calif., contributed offensively insubstitution. Diggs, finished with 11 points, three assists, a blocked shot and a steal. "It was fun towatch those young guys get time, so they'll feel they're more part of the team," Sims said. Westernfinished the game shooting 57.6 percent from the field, while Colorado Christian shot 42 percent. Afterthe game, Jared Stevenson and Sims were named to the all-tournament team. "Jared Stevensonstruggled a little bit in the first two games this season, but he really broke out tonight and played at thelevel we've come to expect from him," Jackson said. "Mike Sims is another one Vikings win, 72-51 thathad a great effort Front/Jesse Kinsman tonight," Jackson added.

"We had a big run there, and when you do that, it's realdemoralizing for the other team, and our kids were pumped up," Head Coach Brad Jackson said.Western controlled the second half as Colorado Christian could Sims said. "They had one big guy, buthe didn't play very much. They tried to go small to out-quick us, but that didn't work." Jared Stevensonled Western with 25 points, and Merchant led all scorers with 32. "They just weren't guarding metonight," Viking Jared Stevenson tently. He had a real solid effort." Back at .500, Western nowanticipates some important conference games. "We're going to need some great support from ourstudent body," Jackson said. "We need to get some people out to watch us. This is going to be a greatteam." By JJ Jensen The Western Front The thrill of victory is beginning to become second nature for Western's women's basketball team, as it improved 4-0 with a 72-51 victory over San Francisco StateUniversity Nov. 27 in Carver Gym. Led by junior guard Amanda Olsen, Western jumped to an early 16-7lead, but the defense unraveled. With 5:24 left in the half, SFSU climbed back into the game and tied the score at 23. Playing a see-saw match-up the rest of the half, Western went into the locker room,leading by only three points, 32-29. "At halftime, we looked at the score and at the game and realized we were just playing with them and not putting them away," sophomore guard Briana Abrahamsen said. Eight minutes into the second half and still only leading by three, Western buried SFSU. During thenext 12 minutes, Western's offense caught fire and outscored SFSU 28-10. Playing well offensively,Western's defense also shut down SFSU, as it held the Gators to just 38.9 percent field-goal shooting.SFSU also turned the ball over 28 times to the Vikings. Junior forward Sara Nichols led Western's run,scoring the first two baskets and assisting on three more. Nichols finished the game with game-highs oiseven rebounds and seven assists. "The people that came off the bench in the second half didn't let theintensity drop," Abrahamsen said. "It's great to know we can stick anybody in there and they'll give us aspark." When the dust finally settled, Western came away with a 21- point win. Olsen finished with agame-high 17 points and five steals, while sharing the offensive wealth by dishing out four assists.Junior center Celeste Hill continued her season-long inside dominance, scoring 14 points, andAbrahamsen lit up the outside, scoring 15 points. Abrahamsen hit on four of-six field goal attempts,made 5-bf-6 free throws and knocked down two of her three three-point attempts. Heading into PacificWest Conference play undefeated, Western will entertain Humboldt State University at 7 p.m. tonight, in Carver Gym. Entering conference play, the team's enthusiasm is high. "We're excited to get intoconference play," Abrahamsen said. "We're a really well-rounded team, and we have a positiveoutlook," Abrahamsen said. "It's awesome to know if you give the ball off on offense, someone else is going to make something happen." MYKONOS A variety of Greek appetizers and entrees in a casualfine dining atmosphere.

The combination of youth, inexperience and tough competition proved to be too much forWestern to overcome. On Nov. 21, Western was routed in its first two games by the University ofWashington, 19-3, and the University of California State Maritime, 15-1. Saturday's third game versusUniversity of Victoria showcased a back-and-forth offensive affair. However, Western was unable to holdoff the University of Victoria, eventually losing 11-7. Western showed some resiliency on Nov. 22 bytaking care of Highline Community College, 9- 7, to earn seventh place in the tournament. "We startedout slowly, but we ended really good," Head Coach Trevor Petrie said. Although Petrie said the team did some things well, he still sees room for plenty of improvement, citing youth as one of the main reasonswhy. "The team needs to improve its anticipation of the opponent's' fast break," veteran Tate Masonsaid. He later added, "We could have been in a little better shape." Although Western clearly struggled,many positives were taken away from the weekend of competition. "We got a lot of needed experience playing some difficult schools â€” we really improved throughout the four games of the tournament,"Mason said.

Cardio kickboxing, an exercise that involves continuous aerobic activity with boxing andself-defense moves, is a fun new way to reach an ultimate level of physical fitness. Kick-it, a cardiokickboxing and wellness studio, offers kickboxing classes that suit the intensity and skill level of anyperson. "Kick-it â€” it's just kind of how the classes are," owner Susan Thomas said about the name ofher studio. "I have classes formatted so you maximize your caloric burning." The classes incorporateshadow boxing, drills of punching and kicking, bag work, as well as stretching and strengtheningexercises that focus on endurance and interval training, she said. Periodic interval work duringendurance training increases the body's metabolism to help a person lose weight in a natural, healthyway, she explained. Thomas said she graduated from Western with a degree in exercise science and acertification in gerontology, the study of aging. The young entrepreneur is also a personal trainer and has a black belt in karate from Double Action Training Academy in Ferndale. Thomas said she won a goldmedal in the self-defense division at the Jujitsu World Championships in British Columbia last month."Karate gives me self confidence," Thomas said. Teaching physical fitness is not Thomas' only goal;instructing her students in self-defense is important too, she said. "I wasn't just a happy frosh playingFrisbee out on the lawn and was looking for an alternative way to stay fit." Elke Govertsen Westernstudent "Cardio kickboxing doesn't mean we're out there dancing around. Contact is light, but we alsowant to have fun," Thomas said. If you meet an attacker on a dark street corner, let rip a lethal jab-cross-hook punch combination that Thomas teaches, and not even Rocky will know what hit him.Besides learning offensive moves, Thomas equally emphasizes defensive blocks. Thomas' studentslearn to catch a jab, parry a cross and slip a hook. The defensive counters resemble the circular "wax-on, wax-off" arm motions the character Daniel learned in the movie "The Karate Kid." "It's a realconfidence booster knowing you have something more than just your key when you're walking around atnight by yourself," said Western student Kate Fromm. "It's a good way to get your aggressions outtoo." Fromm, along with many other Western students, regularly attends classes at Kick-it. "I learnedabout (Kick-it) at the info fair," Western student Elke Govertsen said. "I wasn't a happy frosh playingFrisbee out on the lawn and was looking for an alternative way to stay fit." Govertsen and Fromm said they enjoy the intensity of cardio kickboxing.

Poor shooting percentage from the field and the free-throw linehampered the Vikings all night long. They shot an uncharacteristic 52 percent (13 of 25) from the lineand 39.7 percent (25 of 63) from the field. St. Martin's shot a lowly 38 percent from the floor, but theyattempted 12 more free-throws than the Vikings, connecting on 26 of those. "We put them in the one-in-one situation with more than 11 minutes to play. Fouling has been a problem all season for us,"Jackson said. "Whenever you have poor shooting from both the field and the line, you aren't going to winvery many ball games," Head Coach Brad Jackson said. The Vikings leading scorer, Mike Sims, wasshut down, shooting 2 for 13 from the field. "Mike just missed shots that he normally makes. Thewhole team struggled with that," Jackson said. "Shooting percentage is very important. We shot 9 of16 from the free-throw line, and we lost by four," he said. It's particularly important when we also don'tshoot well from the floor." Sims and point guard Jacob Stevenson combined to shoot 9 of 11 from theline, the rest of the team was 4 of 14. Left: Head Coach Brad Jackson calls out to the team.

Photos by Bobby Stone Stevenson was one ofthe few bright spots in this game. He scored 20 points, while adding six rebounds and four assists.Bench star A.J. Giesa scored six points and continued to rebound well, collecting seven boards. TheVikings out-rebounded St. Martin's by 15 (45 to 30). "We rebounded well tonight, but it seemed like they(St. Martin's) got the rebounds when they needed it," Giesa said. Reserve guard Shelton Diggscontributed 10 points and six rebounds in his 20 minutes of play. Ryan Kettman added 11 points aridsix rebounds for the Vikings. St. Martin's was led in scoring by guard Eddie Ortiz, who scored 21 points. Ortiz connected on five three-point shots, two in the final few minutes of play. Forward Gerrit Eadesadded 16 points and six rebounds. The Vikings pulled to within two points but were then victimized by acrucial flagrant- foul call with 24 seconds remaining in the game, at which point Jackson exclaimed,"You're going to end the game on a call like that!" The Vikings will look to rebound against SeattlePacific University at 7 p.m. this Saturday at Carver Gym. "We are just going to concentrate on getting ittogether for our game against SPU. They are about as good a team as we are going to see this yearâ€”it's a really big game," Jackson said. Left: Sophomore guard Ryan Kettman shoots from the three-point line.

Imagine a president whose door is open to student organizations, Associated Students representativesand even members of the student press. Imagine a president who attends campus events, a presidentwho listens to criticism and learns from that insight. Picture a president to whom the campus can turnfor leadership, a person who inspires students and educators to strive for their best, a person like JohnStanford, who encourages kids, teachers, parents and community members. Too bad Western doesnot have such a president. A university president at any institution, public or private, has manyobligations. The Washington State Legislature and the citizens of Washington state hold Karen Morseaccountable for every aspect of Western, a daunting responsibility. The demands of such a position merit some sympathy for the president's busy schedule. Too often, however, spending time with students,faculty and staff is a last priority for Morse. Obtaining an interview with Morse for The Western Front isnearly impossible. Having Morse show up at a campus event is a rare occurrence. Morse usually refersinquiries to her vice presidents or to Western's Public Information Office. While the vice presidents' andthe PIO's efforts are appreciated, students do not expect the vision for Western to come from Western'spublic relations office or via the vice presidents. Students want to, and should demand, to hear directlyfrom Morse. Morse's position as president of the university should not be an excuse for her remoteness.In fact, many other university presidents are fond of discussing issues with students, including membersof the student press. Open up almost any issue of the University of Washington's student newspaper,The Daily, and UW President Richard McCormick's comments abound. Notably, on Oct. 7, McCormick spoke to an audience of students, faculty and staff about the challenges facing the university and howto best tackle them. He outlined his main goals for UW and one of the most important solutions forsolving problems at the university: more local and global community involvement. Imagine the results ifMorse chose to make such a corrurutment. Reaching out to the local community, beyond seekingdonations to the university, could have a fantastic impact and could go a long way toward smoothing thepath for Western's expansion. A.S. President Sarah Steves has done more than imagine the value ofreaching out to students. Her innovative "Talk With the President" discussions with students in RedSquare demonstrate the kind of commitment to communicate with students Western's president islacking. Western deserves a leader who cares about the campus and the community anddemonstrates those concerns often by encouraging a dialogue with students, faculty and staff.Imagine.

Quality of education down University churning out trainedworkers, not thinkers Heidi Thomsen COMMENTARY If colleges focus solely on class instructioninstead of learning expansion, universities will become nothing more than clearinghouses, churningout student cogs made to fit into a well-oiled societal machine. Students who are trying to get ahead inthe job market absorb too much information at once, declaring more than one major, making classeseven harder to get into than, they are now. Just imagine: all of the cursing and button pushing that madeyour voice and trigger finger sore this past couple of horrific weeks known as winter registrationmight be even worse next time. The quality of instruction in classes will be caught in a continuousdownward spiral. Class instruction will become mass produced, turning into clearing houses preparingstudents for jobs high in demand. Instead of placing emphasis only on job-related aspects of college,students need to understand that every college experience is important. From political protests and late-night cram sessions to dealing with bitter breakups, students leave college knowing how to deal withsituations outside of their academic major(s). Based on the results of a survey conducted by theNational Association of Colleges and Employers, communication skills rank first on the list of 10 per- "...students need to understand that every college experience is important." sonal characteristicsemployers seek in job candidates. Rand Jack, a Fairhaven College professor, agrees. "The morediverse skills a student learns at college, the better that student will be at communicating with others ...and addressing pressing issues in a constructive way." NACE also asked employers what they look forin job candidates. They responded, "(We) want to hire candidates who are go-getters, who candemonstrate that they are willing to take the initiative at work and who are eager to continue learningbeyond the college classroom." More work means even more stress. For example, a student might betold an environmental science degree is not enough: a graduate needs to be able to speak Russian aswell as know how to program Web sites. Dollar signs are popping up everywhere. The collegeexperience must teach students to use their learning abilities to the greatest possible extent both in and out of class. Experiences open up new and undiscovered possibilities, such as finding a cure forAIDS, designing a mass-transit system or doing the politically impossible in a country ravaged bytyranny. Employers want level-headed individuals who can think quickly on their feet, not applicants whoknow how to solve problems based only on what they read in college textbooks. College must be a place where the first priority is to show students that the world is full of information just waiting to be exploredby an inquiring mind. letters Feminist fanaticism bigotry toward men To the editor: I recently saw themovie "Elizabeth" â€” well done, although it left out her love affairs with Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir FrancisDrake... and the war with Spain. I was a bit piqued over what appeared to be gratuitous sex between the villain and his wife or mistress. Then it dawned on me â€” this movie is a feminist attack on men thatmen cannot be trusted and are out to dominate, use or even murder women (like the Scottish / FrenchQueen). What the feminists in their fanaticism are ignoring is that every human being, gay or straight,owes their very life to men and women loving each other. The feminist goals of female domination anduniversal homosexuality are illegitimate; the first would lead to a right-wing reaction, the second wouldend the human race. Bigotry and discrimination against men is no more legitimate than such againstwomen; if you put out hate into the universe you will get back hate (karma). Equality and assertivenessare the answers for women and for men; anything else leads to abuse and resentment. Women and men are not separate species but are equally human (hairless apes with the souls of God).

Vol. VIII. January, 1909 No. 4 The Messenger staff wish you, one and all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have you seen the "Messenger Clothesline" in the Library? Read the Exchanges. If you want to read something good, turn to Mr. Ro-mine's article on Bermuda. The following motto comes to us from Dr. Padel-ford of the University: "To make my students sane, vigorous, and sensitive, through a balanced training of the intellectual, the ethical, and the aesthetic life; always ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE MESSENGER working with reference to the individual, that he may be wise, humane, and gentle; such is my ideal as an English teacher." The spirit and thought is beautiful and helpful and may become a part of our creed no matter what line of teaching we may take up. From Mr. G. Allison, of Tacoma, our former Editor.— "Mr. Foster writes me that the school is in a prosperous condition, and judging from the Messenger it seems to be true. It does me good to see the students taking an active interest in the life of the school. After all, I sometimes think that it is the school atmosphere which determines to a greater extent than we think the real benefits. I know that my work in the various activities of the school gave me as much working power as my class work gave." What we need in our student body is co-operation, a means by which all things survive or develop—a means to an ultimate end. For such co-operation we must have boosters, not knockers; workers, not idlers; strong fighters, and not quitters. Every member must be as a cog in a wheel, always ready for duty, and never ready to shirk. Be at assembly societies, at the lecture course numbers, and on athletic field, to show your loyalty and appreciation of character building ideals. If we have lost by a decision or by score, don't think we have lost all, for to those who know how to take defeat it is oftentimes the noble victory. Is not this our standard and aim? Do we not feel the necessity of working together ? Let us make our life the school's. Two more things would put us on college standings in the athletic sphere—a tennis court and a baseball diamond. Tennis playing especially is a most scientific and beneficial sport for both men and women. Some mention has been made of a court, but nothing definite as yet has been done, so lets get together and work for this court. We want a good one, one that can be used rain or shine. Get to work on the matter, students—boost, boost, boost, is our motto. It is only when an institution is brought to a realization of its power that it is useful. The Bellingham Normal is no exception to this rule, as is evident by the different things which it has successfully promoted. There is still ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 3 ---------- THE MESSENGER 3 one activity, common to college life, which might now successfully be taken up—that of an orchestra. Of the material right in our midst we could form an orchestra such as any school in the land might well be proud of; every day some one is found who can play well on the violin, guitar, cornet, trombone, or snaredrum. All that is necessary is to assemble these persons together three or four times a week for an hour's practice. Not only would this talent be developed, but it would be quite an addition to our assembly by giving it a smack of culture that can be procured in no other way. Fifteen or twenty years hence when this institution has climbed in the scale of fame and efficiency equal to that of any other school in our land, who would not be PROUD to say, " I assisted in organizing the orchestra in the Bellingham Normal." STATEMENT OP ASSOCIATION FINANCES. The finances of the Students' Association are far better than was anticipated. The stock of the supply room purchased to date amounts to $1,297.46 cost, and in spite of the low prices charged for it, the earnings already amount to $187.36 over and above all expenses. The total expense of operating the supply room thus far has been only $75.53. The following statement is taken from the books of the supply room, December 23, 1908: Assets. Owed by general fund $ 12.05 Students' accounts 2.95 Messenger 4.40 Inventory of stock at cost, Dec. 23 386.38 Cash 15.68 Balance in bank 42.66 $464.12 Liabilities. Accounts not due until goods are sold $197.84 30-day accounts 78.92 Profits 187.36 $464.12 The financial management of the Messenger is most efficient. Mr. Herman Smith, business manager, has se- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 TEE MESSENGER cured in advertising and subscriptions a monthly revenue of about $110.00 as against not to exceed $75.00 last year. As a result of this and the advantageous cnotract of this year, the Messenger is much larger and more attractive than last year's, and yields a monthly profit of about $25. The general fund is also in splendid condition. There was $306.65 from student fees in this fund at the opening of school. Football used, above receipts, about $150.80, and expenditure more than justified by results. About $50.00 was spent in paying last year's bills and incidental expenses, leaving but $100.00. But the football game Thanksgiving day, which made up $44, and the Faculty- Normal Boys' game, have left a total in the general fund of $141.66. The receipts from entertainments and basketball games will undoubtedly restore this fund to the condition it was in at the beginning of the season. JAMES O'SULLrVAN. FUTURITY. Closed, is the silent tomb of the past; The stone can ne'er be rolled away. Open, is the gate of the future By the fair New Year today. Ah! well for us, as the ages roll, That there is a Hand, strong, sublime, That marks the path to our destiny In our onward course, through space and time. Then though the world is tired and old Let the heart be fresh and young And bright, with glorious hopes, For the year that is just begun. —Goldie Wreston Brown. LITERARY. A Seven Weeks' Sojourn In Bermuda. "Father Neptune one day to Dame Freedom did say, 'If ever I live upon dry land, The spot I should hit on would be little Britain.' Says Freedom, 'Why, that's my own island: O. 'tis a snug little island, A right little, tight little island! ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER 5 Search the world round, none can be found So happy as this little island.' " The above sentiment expressing the poet's approval of Britain might apply with equal propriety to Bermuda. It would hardly be possible in the compass of this article to give more than an impressionistic sketch of Bermuda. While having the latitude of middle George and Alabama, the beautiful little archipelago has a decided sub-tropical climate, and its vegetation in many forms is tropical. To one who has not been privileged before to see a southern clime with all that it connotes in story and in song, in the grace and hospitality of its people, and in the color and beauty of its landscape, Bermuda holds a peculiar enchantment. The Bermudians have a happy way of saying to the sojourner that when the great Architect created the world, he built the last and therefore the best part of it in the form and reality of Bermuda. And those leisurely and accomplished people seem to live as if they believe their happy statement. Crime is infrequent, the poverty that bites is only occasional, and the maddening strife for commercial and social supremacy for the selfish eminence of the individual is not worth the game. Bermuda has the contour of an open gauntlet in profile with the thumb view clearly in definition. Its area is 191/! square miles. The nearest land is Cape Hatteras. From New York harbor to her only dock for deep-draught liners is 704 nautical miles or 44 hours' sail, and after many varying graduate to post-graduate degrees in gastronomic feats, the sight of Bermuda to the voyager is like a medicine bearing a picture of paradise upon its label. The population of Bermuda is roughly 18,000 people, two-thirds of whom are negroes. "When the New York steamer slows up to Hamilton dock the passengers aboard note Sambos and Dinahs with visages gaping as if employed for dentifrice establishments lined up galore to welcome the good ship's safe arrival. Though the negro outnumbers the white man two to one, and though there is no discriminatory statute against, he understands that Bermuda is a white man's government. The two races get along on terms of harmony, and Sambo is rapidly substi-tuting- the Gillette safety for the old-fashioned long blade razor. The Bermndans are good politicians in the best sense of the term. They are quite alert as to the political affairs of their countrv, and yet there is little or no align- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 TEE MESSENGER ment into parties. A year ago, however, the little island empire was shaken from her rocky ribs to her ridge pole by a question of mighty import. There was automobile and non-automobile segregation of Bermuda's law givers. The NON won by a bare majority vote of one, and as a result no skunk-wagons profane the beautiful, but narrow serpentine roadways of Bermuda. Bermuda is really a collective name, for there are said to be 365 islands—one for each day in the year—according to the last census. The little group is of interest to the student of physical geography. It is low-lying fringed by reefs that bode ill to the innocent mariner. If the whole area to the margin of the reefs should be elevated some 200 or 300 feet, there would be a little continent approximately 230 instead of the present 1 9 ^ square miles of extent. The geology is all limestone of aeolian accumulation. This rock enters into all the structures of Bermuda residences, shops, public edifices, fortifications, etc., and the effect is quite pleasing to the eye. The Bermuda homes are creations of simple, yet chaste, elegant designs. There is no running fresh water of any kind in Bermuda. The water for drinking, cooking and cleansing is rain water. By means of carefully whitewashed expanses of surface lime rock serving as a catch-all the rain is led to cisterns and reservoirs not always too carefully guarded for he. the most deceptive of all singers, monsieur mos-auito propagates prolfically in these artificial wells, and by night he shrills a pesty lay into the ear of him who explores for that "sweet sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care." The vegetal and animal life of Bermuda teems in luxuriance. The oleander is in flower from early spring to December. The royal poinciana, the poinsettia, the tamarind, palmetto, palms of many species, huge century plants, the plantation, the banana and many others are in striking evidence on every hand. And these generic relations, the very antitheses in aroma, the lily and the onion, the latter hygienic talisman of Sambo, should not be omitted from the floral lists. And as if to give a solace akin to northern climes, the Bermuda cedar clothes the low Iviug hills with nature's ever restful green. The animal life, barring some beautifully plumaeed birds, is restricted to the reefs which, abounding with corals that rival the beauty of the rose, and waving sea-fans and sea-plumes, look like veritable sea-gardens. So rich and beautifully blended are the colors of the fishes ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 that it would seem as if they have done naught else in life but to make millinery of the rainbow. The hues of the water and the tints of the sky are the artist's Eden. They charm by this soft, gentle blending, and variety of effect, yet in gergoousness and striking grandeur the cloud effects at sunset do not equal those of Puget Sound. A. P. R. ABOUT OURSELVES. A recently received list of questions prepared by the United States Commissioner of Education, Mr. E. E. Brown, was submitted to me and presented to the school at the Monday morning assembly, December 7, as the students present on that occasion will recall. A total of 283 usable reports was obtained and it has occurred to me that the readers of The Messenger may be interested in reading the summaries. The questions covered two subjects, age and teaching experience, and the results are as follows: Fifteen years of age or less, 5; sixteen years, 18; seventeen years, 30; eighteen years, 42; nineteen yars, 50; twenty years, 29; twenty-one years, 28; twenty-two years, 24; twenty-three years, 13; twenty-four years, 7; twenty-five years or above, 27.

Christmas day at the Mine had always passed just like any other day until one eventful time of which I shall tell you. The Nighthawk is in an isolated region far back in the Cascade mountains, where the winters are long and severe. The snow is often six or eight feet deep and communication with the outside world almost impossible. Clustered about the mine are a few cabins, some bunk houses, a store and a saloon. The rough miners lived base, degraded lives. After the day's work was ended they would congregate in Big Dan's saloon and make the night hideous with drinking, gambling, and fighting. But few women lived in the camp. Only one family, the O'Neals, ever observed Christmas. They had a pretty little erirl with blue eyes and golden hair, and for her each year they had had a tree. The summer preceding the winter of which I write, Mr. O'Neal had been killed by an explosion in the mine, and ever since Mrs. O'Neal had been struggling bravely to keep the wolf away from their door, but Christmas eve found them face to face with starvation. She explained to little Donna that they had nothing more to eat, and no wood, so she must not expect a Christmas tree that year. The dull aching of her heart was almost unbearable when she saw the look of disappointment on Donna's face. Presently the child looked up and said, "Mamma, if I ask Jesus won't he give us something to eat and some wood to make a fire? I am going to ask him anyway," and she ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 9 slipped down from her mother's lap, where she was sitting, and went out of the door and into the empty woodshed. "Scotty" McFarland, one of the miners, was slouching past the 0 'Neal cabin, and thinking he heard some one speak, paused to listen. A child's voice lifted in prayer; she asked in childish faith for the necessities of life, and then she added, "Dear Jesus, I do want a little Christmas tree." The softer nature of the man was awakened and blinding tears sprung to his eyes. He hurried on to the gathering at Big Dan's and told them what he had just heard. "Fellows," he said, " I ain't goin' much on these here Christmas doin's, and I aint any betterin' the rest o' ye, but that kid's gotter hev a tree—pass round the hat." The miners responded with their usual generosity and one five-dollar piece after another went into the hat to keep company with those already there. The next morning little Donna went to the door. What could it mean, scattered all about was wood, sacks of flour and innumerable parcels and in their midst stood a little fir tree decorated with ribbons and bright paper. Unspeakable, unutterable joy filled the hearts of mother and child, but this was not all, a little sack hanging on the tree was found to contain gold coins. The child's prayer had indeed been answered—Christmas had come to the Nighthawk Mine. 0. A. A Second-Year Student. JIMMIE'S CHRISTMAS. It was Christmas eve—an ideal Christmas eve! Snow was falling softly, flecking the pedestrians with its large white flakes. The street lamps were but obscure stars. The hour was seven and the streets of Chicago were crowded with happy people on their way to the churches, which, with very few exceptions, were brilliantly lighted for the services. Street cars were crowded and many carriages conveyed their share of the people. Everyone seemed happy and glad that it was Christmas time. No, not all; for wandering along the street, scarcely noticed by the passersby, was a little boy. His clothes were ragged and worn, his face thin and haggard, and his body shivered from the cold. By his side trotted an ugly little dog and from time to time the little master would ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 !TBfi kMSSEtiGER stoop and caress him and whisper something in his ear. As they passed a brilliantly lighted church Jimmie's face wore a wistful look. How he wishes he could go to a Christmas tree! Last year mother had dressed him in his Sunday clothes and had taken him to the services. But since then mother had gone to heaven and his father had taken Jimmie 's Sunday clothes and sold them to get money for rum. Now he scarcely had enough clothes to keep him warm and many times he had gone all day without anything to eat. As he thought of his mother he wished he could spend Christmas with her. On he wandered, not knowing where to go but compelled to walk to keep warm. At last a kind-faced man stopped him. "Don't you want to go to a Christmas tree, little boy?" he asked. "Yes, sir," answered Jimmie; "but I can't, 'cause mamma's dead and I hain't got no good clothes." "There's a place four blocks from here where they want all little boys like you to come. "Yes," he added in answer to the questioning look, "those clothes will be all right. They want you to come." With a new hope Jimmie hurried on. What would there be for him? And would there be anything for Trip? Visions of beautiful Christmas trees crossed his mind. They had reached the corner now and Jimmie could see the lights of the hall shining through the snow. Soon he would see the tree. As they crossed the street a carriage dashed around the corner and Jimmie saw that Trip was directly in its path. With a cry he sprang forward and caught up the dog. But he was too late. The horses struck him and he was thrown down beneath their feet. Tender hands carried the unconscious boy within the mission. A doctor was summoned, but to no avail. As consciousness returned he opened his eyes and looked inquiringly at the faces above him. The unhurt dog was brought to the pallet and Jimmie, satisfied that his pet was safe, shut his eyes and became very still. There was a silence in the room, for Jimmie had gone to spend Christmas with his mother. HABRY F. HEATH. Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions characterize the great.—Goldoni. i ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 11 ---------- !THJE MESSENGM ii CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS. It was in the land of shades where the spirits of good trees are assembled. "And what did you do on earth?" asked the Great Voice of the stately fir. " I builded homes, and the great buildings of cities; I furnished masts for ships that sail the seas, and I made warm fires for man's comfort," said the fir. " I , too," said the cedar, standing close to the fir, "protected man and helped him civilize the world. I kindled his fires." " I , too," said the pine, and the oak, and the maple, and the birch; "we all helped him build the 'house beautiful.' " "And what was your work?" said the Voice, as the beautiful fruit trees brought their offering. "We furnished man food," said the orange, the apple, the walnut, and the chestnut. Thus, in answer to the Great Voice, all the trees of the earth—the beech and the birch, the pine and the palm, the cotton wood and the banyan, from the north and the south told of the deeds they had done on earth. At last came the little Christmas tree, all decked in silky tinzel and tinkle and pretense. "And why are you here?" said the Great Voice, gravely. " I do not know," said the little tree lightly. "There is nothing that I do but be happy." After a pause, "But when they look on me all the little children laugh and clap their hands, and grown people nod their heads and smile through happy tears. Sour faces grow loving and sorrowful ones, happy." Then spoke the Great Voice, and it was heard through all the forests of shade-land: " I t is well to warm man's body, but it is better to warm his heart. It is a good deed to give man food; but it is blessed, indeed, to waken the soul." I. R. B. I can think of no seasonable sentiment more inspiring than the hopeful prayer that the world of nations and of individuals may realize more and more fully than ever the spirit of that first Christmas: Peace through good will.

When the whistle blew announcing time at the close of the football game on Thanksgiving day, the boys of the Normal began the practice of basketball. Contrary to custom they are doing their chief practice in the evenings, and every evening you can hear the whistle in the Gymnasium. The Normal is putting out three basketball teams. On Friday, December 18th, the second team played at Everson against the first team there, the score being 12 to 9 in favor of the Normal. The second team promises to take care of the teams of the small towns of this and Skagit County. The first team, composed of Umbarger and Becker, guards; Davenport, center, and Goodell and Petheran, forewards, promises to be a strong quintet. Games have been scheduled with Lincoln High, Mt. Vernon, Sedro- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 13 ---------- THE MESSENGER i3 Woolley, Ellensburg Normal and Anacortes High. The schedule is by no means complete and a tour away is anticipated. Let us all "boost for" the team. SOCIETY. A number of the enterprising students have organized a new society, which will be known as the Normal House of Representatives. The idea of the organization is to develop the power of debate and expression. It was thought that this unique way would present more novel features and thus insure more interest. All the business will be carried on similar to that of the National House of Representatives. If the number is sufficient there will be a representative assigned for each state. Bills will be brought in and discussed by all who gain the recognition of the speaker. The first meeting will be held in the Normal Society Hall, in evening January 8th, at which meeting Attorney Foster, of the city, who has been elected speaker, will preside. The Thespian Dramatic Club entertained the students and faculty just before the holidays with "A Christmas Chime." There will be several more pleasant programs given by this club before the close of the term. This club is developing some strong talent along dramatic lines. The Athenian Society will resume work early in the new year. This is the society with which many of the new students, who wish to do general literary work, should ally themselves. The Alkisiah Club met Friday, December 11 at 2:30 o'clock in the Society Hall. An excellent program was rendered in the presence of a large number of the students. The program opened with a song meet in which all those present joined heartily. Miss Baker presided at the piano. After several songs had been sung the subject for the aay, "Play-ground Organization," was taken up. Miss Walborg Olsen gave an excellent talk on thr- "Conventions of the Play-ground Association." Following this was a very entertaining presentation of the High- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 14 ---------- 14 THJE MESSENGM land Fling, by Misses Isabelle Williams and Lucette Mc- Kechne in illustration of one phase of play ground instruction. The next number was a remarkably well given talk by Miss Annie Nord on the subject "Play-ground Organization." As a closing number the play-ground work was farther illustrated by a series of very unique folk dances in which several of the club members took part. Miss Mat-tie Stanton furnished the music for this number. After the program the guests were excused and the members remained for a business session. The Alkisiah Club includes a number of the most earnest and ambitious students in school, and every member realizing the value of society work in school, is striving to make the club come up to a high standard. An excellent program is rendered every two weeks, to which all of the students and teachers are cordially invited. W. G. The Bible Institute—Y. W. C. A. Because of the great help derived from the Bible Institute of last year, we feel the need of another such institute this year. While as yet the plans are not complete, the time has been set and several of the speakers selected. The sessions will begin the second Thursday after vacation, January 14th, and end the following Sunday. Appropos of the work being done in the Bible classes, the thought of the Institute will center around the life of Christ. Miss Hillman, of the Tacoma City Association, will be with us in all of the meetings, and different pastors of our city will speak. Every member of the school, whether a member of the association or not, is urged to share the benefit of this Institute. STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION. True to the prophecy, merely a small fraction of the great throng of people seeking admittance at the doors of the Normal Gymnasium could be accommodated Friday evening, December 11th, when the much talked of and already famous game of basketball was to be played by the sedate and stately men of the Bellingham State Normal school faculty and the boys of the student body. ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 15 ---------- ftHE MESSENGER i5 Those fortunate enough to gain admittance were obliged to restrain their eagerness for minor things came first on the program. An exciting game of basketball was played by the Juniors and Third Years, the proud and mighty Juniors winning, but not without a decided effort, for their opponents were of such mettle as to make the skirmish for the ball a lively one. The spectators were afforded a rare (?) treat in the minstrel performance. This was composed of musically talented members of the school, and the soul-inspiring tones sent forth from the various instruments caused the nearts of the listeners to swell with pride when they realized that these performers were fellow students. The exhibition of strength by the world-famed Sullivan would have been much enjoyed had the heavy weights not rolled lightly from within reach of the great man as he was preparing to lift them. No less interesting was the black bear caught in the wolds of America by Theodore Roosevelt and trained to be as docile as a child. The creature showed almost human intelligence in some of its tricks. It was finally announced that the long-looked-for game was to take place, and amid the thundering cheers the players took their positions. As the game progressed the excitement waxed strong. Mr. Forest held the audience spellbound until they decided which basket he was playing for. Mr. Deerwester made one basket and Mr. Epley very nearly had the same good fortune befall him. Mr. O'Sullivan, as center, played with the zeal of a true athlete, and for a time even football speeches were forgotten. The extreme nervousness displayed by Mr. Bond caused him to lose several baskets, but as the game advanced he grew more calm and played with greater ease. At the close of the game, while the echoing cheers were still ringing, Miss George, in behalf of the ladies of the faculty, addressed the generous but defeated gentlemen in a speech of appreciation for the loyal support they had given the faculty colors. She presented each with a huge candy cane, which it is hoped will serve them as a support in their higher aspirations in the athletic field. A. HOLM.

ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY MORNINGS. On Friday, December 4th, Mr. J. W. Clark, who was to address the students, was unable to be present. The ever- ready Mr. 0'Sullivan filled the gap and gave a talk which might have had for its subject, "First One Thing and Then Another in Politics." In spite of the fact that Mr. 0'Sullivan had no time to prepare, his review of current events was very instructive. On December 11th Mr. Bond delivered an inspired oration on the subject of "What the Faculty Are Doing and What They Intend to Do." He informed the students in the most eloquent language that a selected faculty team had consented to appear on the gymnasium floor to show the merits and demerits of the great game of basketball. In following sentences filled with flowery words he eulogized the members of the faculty "five" and exhorted the students to attend the game. The other feature of the program was an allustrated lecture on "Persia," by Dr. Johannan, a native Persian. The lecturer kept the audience laughing most of the time, but his talk was too personal. Parts of it were overdone, and beyond having a good laugh, the students were for the most part disappointed. On Friday, December 18th, occurred the annual Normal and Training School Christmas Tree. After a short musical program Santa Claus appeared and helped distribute the presents, which were found on the beautifully decorated tree. The Normal and the Training School exchanged gifts, as they have done in previous years. H. F. H. Thursday. December 17th, the Alkisiah Club had a sale of blooming bulbs and candy. The flowers sold rapidly ; in fact, nearly all were engaged before the time set for the sale. The venture was new, but was so very sue- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 22 ---------- 22 THE MESSENGER cessful that the club members are planning to make such a sale an annual feature. A large quantity of first class candy was contributed by the members, and it found a ready sale among the hungry students during the lunch hour. The contest between the three Normals will be held at our own school this year—probably some time in the latter part of March. Students, let us make this meeting one of the great events in the history of the B. N. S. First and foremost, we must give our guests a royal welcome and a good time, and send them home with none but words of praise for our hospitality and school spirit. The Junior party, Friday night, December 4th, was a great success. Each member of the class came representing, either by actions or dress, some well known book. Mrs. Wiggs was there in all the glory of one who is conscious of having just completed an elaborate toilette— hair arranged in the latest style, freshly ironed calico dress, and new second-hand shoes (with only one hole in the sole which didn't show). Her children, Asia. Euro-pena and Australia, also came to see and enjoy the wonders of a party given by the Juniors of the Bellingham Normal. The first part of the evening was spent in a guessing contest, Alice Tigie receiving the prize, a souvenir book, having guessed forty-seven books represented by as many persons out of the some seventy Juniors present. Then followed a short programme, after which all were served to cocoa and cake. Mr. Beal, as toastmaster, called on Mr. Deerwester to speak, who responded with a short but spicy speech which might have been somewhat longer had not Miss Sperry given a timely warning that he must not steal ALL of HER speech. Being a gentleman of peace he immediately took his seat amid the hearty applause of all present. Miss Sperry was next called upon, and gave us a very interesting talk, remarking (as is usually the case whenever the Juniors are concerned) that she was pleased to see such a high standard of learning as was displayed tonight, for she had not read or even heard of nearly all the books represented. The President and Secretary next gave short speeches ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 23 ---------- THE MESSENGER 23 expressing their appreciation of the evening's entertainment. As the Treasurer had wisely made herself scarce she was not called upon to give a toast. A LONE DWELLER. Slower and slower we wound our way up the mountain trail. Our packs were growing heavier and we were impatient to be rid of them. No suitable place for camp had yet appeared, and since the nights were cold we would be uncomfortable indeed unless some friendly roof offered its shelter. Suddenly, as unexpected as an apparition, there stood before us in the trail a man, apparently a miner. He was as startled as we were, but quickly recovering from his surprise, he asked us about our journey. Upon learning that we were shelterless he insisted on our going to his house and spending the night there. We needed no second bidding, but fell in behind our guide. He led the way with long swinging strides. We were glad when we reached his cabin on the mountain side. We entered and threw down our packs. The cabin was a roomy one of cedar logs. It had one peculiarity which we could not at first understand. Two rows of heavy posts reached to the roof where they were fastened to huge rafters. These, we learned, were a support to the roof during the heavy snows. They were warped and twisted from the weight they had borne. Meanwhile our host was busy getting the meal. The savory odors of ham and coffee were very welcome, as our fare for days had been the simplest. A feeling had been growing on me, ever since we had submitted to his guidance, that our new friend had a remarkable personality. His face and figure were very impressive. His eyes were most noticeable. They protended from their sockets in the effort to see through and beyond you, for they did not seem to stop at the physical, but to stare on into the distance. They had the look of one who was not familiar with human society, closely resembling the eyes of the wild animal. His hair was slightly gray. The features of his face were regular and strong. His shoulder were broad and he towered up above the usual height. Tremendous strength and agility were written all over the man. His personal characteristics were well set off by a ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 24 ---------- 24 THE MESSENGER plainness in dress which was, of course, necessary in his walk of life. A suit of brown khaki, high topped boots and a fur cap constituted his every day wardrobe. I wondered again and again what manner of man he was. He spoke little, though we felt that he was enjoying our stay as mluch as we were. After we had spread our blankets in one corner and retired for the night I noticed that our host had left the cabin. He had been absent for some time when I rose softly, went to the door and looked out. It was a brilliant moonlight night and everything on the bare mountain sides stood out as plainly as by day. A few yards away, on a projecting rock, sat our host. He was apparently enthralled by the magnificent display nature had made when these jagged mountains were piled together. As I watched him there gradually entered my consciousness the reason why he lived in this wild inhuman fashion. He was a lover or rather worshipper of nature. Here the faithful child of nature watched year in and year out. If one could understand the wild call of the place some little indulgence would be granted him. I seemed to see the seasons come and go. When the white night would be changed, when the whirling mist should come over the pass in great valley-filling masses and down the great ravine on the left would come the wildly driven wind from the north to catch this mist and swirl it ferociously around till it crystallized into snow which would fall and cover the earth even to the tree tops. I do not know how long the hermit remained at the watch, but in the morning he rose early and set us on our way. Not content with this much hospitality, he guided us to the summit of the pass and bid us godspeed down the mountain. "We had gone some distance when, coming out on a sort of promontory, we looked back. Our strange entertainer was standing with feet spread wide apart and eyes on the distant fields of jagged, spiked mountain tops, which stretched away so far as eye could reach. And, thus, we left him. NOAH DAVENPORT. JOSHES. Seen on the Bulletin Board. Lost—My Psychological Development. Wanted at once—Three chicken catchers.

COLLEGIAN Fisherman's Cove Thursday, June 2, 1949 PERSONALITIES MAKE THE NEWS Wandering Reporter Sees All—Tells All By CLYDE LOOM1S Wandering about the Lummi reservation this evening, I happened upon a happy party, busily engaged in stuffing themselves with fried chicken. Glancing into the group, I spied many familiar faces and found they were some of my old cronies from the Publications staffs at their annual banquet. Among the dignitaries, there were: CECIL THOMAS—The "hard P H Y L L I S ARMSTRONG — boiled" editor, isn't as harsh as people claim editors are. "Cec" as everyone calls him, took over the job as ye olde editor, just before the Publications Prom, when the going was rough. He cracks the whip every Thursday to get every one out of the print shop by six and his f»v-orit saying is "Don't touch my arm—typhoid shots, you know." RUTH BURNET —Affection ateiy called "Ma B." by cubs and editors alike, Mrs. Burnet has the job of keeping a bunch of aspiring young journalists on the straight and narrow. With her lefthanded blackboard pen manship, she keeps her classes informed of deadlines, assignments, etc. "You are the one" and "Clean out the bottles, girls" were heard often whenever Mrs. B. was in the Collegian office. PEARL HOFMAir—"Poil," to many, the hardworking Klipsun editor, is sometimes given to indecisions; the refrain most often heard coming from her lips was "should I go to class or should I skip and work on the annual." Even her calculus hasn't suffered. Past editors may remember their trips to the engravers in Seattle, but our Pearl remembers well the trip to Columbus, Washington, and wayward points — with George Dowd! PAT GRAVES-Never with-out refreshment of some kind was this gal, Klipsun copy editor. Cokes were among the most frequent. Pat is just another Senior hallite on the staff. She kept the public informed of their doings at the house. RAY FJELLMAH-Ray is another convertible owner—only his is about 1932 vintage and "passionate pink" at that He was one of the "dutiful?" copy writers of the Klipsun and is famed for hit unique house warmings. "Bird-dog" to her Senior hall cronies, and Phyl to most, she's combined student teaching with managing the finances of the Klipsun—as a result they have a little left over. "Chief Strong Arm," she has become the "favorite of the fifth" grade on the play field. BURT HORMAN- Owner of a big blue '46 convertible that makes all the girls swoon, Burt seems to be held in monoply by one girl. Workhorse of the staff, he always turned in his copy so clean—the envy of the whole staff and pride of the copy editor. GLENNA HAZELDINE—This red-headed Canadian has served as co-news editor for the past two quarters. Called "Kluane" by virtune of living there, she's noted for saying "wot" and "bean" and famous for her feature "Clementine versus the Hootch." AL MAGNUSON—The use of postage stamps has declined somewhat since Al w r o te "thief" on the back of each one. Our industrious business manager must have had writers cramp when he got through. BETTY McLEOD—This hardy perennial has become a permanent fixture around the Klipsun. Last year's editor, she has helped Pearl with her many Sroblems. For the first time in er college career, she got a term paper in on time this quarter. K A T H L E E N GOLLY— "Katie" is another student teacher who's kept up her work on both publications; working as associate editor with Pearl fall quarter, and Collegian society editor fall and spring quarters. Many's the time her name appeared on the society assignment sheet—coupled with that of a certain aspiring young politician now in the east. Katie served as co-chairman of this years banquet and is willing to take the blame for its success or failure. BARBARA COZZA—"Bobbie" was the vivasious feature writ-ter and assistant business manager of the Klipsun. She wrote her column "Campi" pretty regularly except when her papers were burglarized. Sometimes her stuff wasn't so original, but always good for a laugh. Next time she should use more than one exchange paper. FRANCES F R A Z E E — To whether or not the Nipco press conference was a success, we leave up_ to Franny. The Fra-zee family saw little of their car Thursday nights fall and winter quarter—granges, political meetings and an occasional show following the routine of the print shop. PAT SOMERS —Never has one girls changed so much in so short a time. This reporter has well earned the name of girl-shivoo— for further info consult an Australian dictionary. Pat worked on ^ociety, straight news and served as copy-editor. KENNY FORSETH—This big blond sports editor was one of the best chauffers on Thursday afternoons. Many's a time he could be seen going down High street with his car full of staff members — girls usually! He must have some fatal charm. LEX MILTON-He is all that is left of the Young Democrats. We hope he, too, will find a job in Washington. As feature editor he consistantly tried to steal reporters, space and copy. WWCOLLEGI AN THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1949 Prined as Low Class Matter in the Cox Brothers Williams Dungeon Ye Olde Editor. , Slander Slingers- „ ^ Typist .... , , ... "Katie" ..Bobbie and Lavee „Pat, "Girl Shivoo" Advisers—Any fool dumb enough to try to tell them anything BEVERLY GORDON —This Mount Baker girl really has got what it takes when it comes to giving orders. She was the culprit who as news editor, gave eveTyone such jazzy assignments. Lavee will go down in history with her famous saying, "Who gave me da Ba-dilla?" S H I R L E Y DICKENSEN— Darling of the music department heads (you see, she covers the beat). "Smiles" reported for the Collegian and is serving as editor of the Navigator. This Senior hallite's favorite saying is "Hot Spit." Wonder where she learns such things. BOB SAFSTON — Diligent, hard-working but always late to class this lad served as associate editor of the Klipsun. Bob will continue his work on the Klipsun by being n e xt year's editor. MARGLEN SNEDDON— Marg is one of the people you have to thank for this meal tonight. She was one of the co-chairmen of the banquet. We didn't see too much of her on the Klipsun staff as the majority of her time is taken up by a certain Vik. GEORGE HESS—Tryant of the copy desk, George slaved over late copy until we were sure he was headed for a breakdown. He fooled us though, he'd just write a nasty note on his blackboard and go out for a short one—he just loves ice cream bars. COX BROTHERS-Here's to the long suffering Cox Bros., Lee and Dick, who many a night have gnawed their fingers to the elbow while waiting for errant reporters to turn in late copy. They got mighty hungry about 7 p. m. GLEN WOLF-The other half of the corporation of Milton and Wolf, he is constantly looking for tired jokes to inflict upon the readers of his column. GARY BRANDNER-Speaks softly and not too often, but wields a wicked typewriter! Gary has been the "old dependable" of the feature staff and is well on his way to becoming the college, students' Robert' Benchley.PPPPP

THE GREAT BATTERSBY FIELD FIASCO! The epitome of disunity andcouldn't-care-lessness was again displayed Saturday night at Battersby Field. As the band was preparing to play the National Anthem the game was started instead. I realize I'm being Pascistic by dwelling on the subject of patriotism but in considering that Western is such a highly individualistic school with largepockets of intellect we are probably above such trivia as the "Star Spangled Banner." Western'slethargic fans again rose to the occasion Saturday night. Western's cheering section consisted of fivefreezing, cheer-ig screaming maidens in purple dresses and a scattering of inebriates in the far cornerof the stands. The few loyal Viking fans were constantly drowned out by three or four carloads of Centralrooters on the other side. Why do Westernites go to the games? For "Brownies"? At halftime theWestern Philharmonic sitting band surged on the field like a mighty tidal wave and treated the crowd to atimely arrangement of musical scores. The music was as appropriate to a football game as an aria from the Three Penny Opera would be during the seventh inning stretch of a baseball game. The GlassBubble of the Music Department must have been smashed when certain people discovered that bringingthe Concert and Lecture series to football games was not received well and not included in theaesthetic attitudes of the students. The C and L series is fine but not shoved down our throats at anathletic event. The football team put on a fine performance but the events and attitudes of the students seemed geared to make Western the laughing stock. Do we want to have and support athletics atWestern or it is like too many students have stated, "WHO CARES?" Mike Martin GRADEPREDICTIONS Freshmen and transfer students! Wondering what your report card will look like thisquarter? Here is Page 2 Dear Editor: I am an incoming freshman here at Western and I love the school.I think it's great. I only dislike and worry about one thing and that is: Where is our flag? True, manydays start out raining but by afternoon the sun is out and the flag pole stands there like a pencil withno eraser. It looks bad. There are no flags flying anywhere else oh campus either. This is just one of the little things that the Commies sit over in Russia and wait for us to i'orget. Also, one other gripe. Thefootball game between Western and Central this past weekend was the first sports event I've everattended that the National Anthem wasn't played before the game. Who goofed? Thanks a lot, Namewithheld by request Dear Editor: This campus doesn't need a new $950,000 library. It needs $950,000worth of up to date books, journals, etc. for the present library. Sincerely, Sam Herman PARKING your chance to get a sneak preview. All freshmen and transfer students who have not received their gradeprediction test results may pick their scores up at their counselor's office during the coming week.WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Cars are out . . . by Dave Colburn Prediction: Next year will bea mass mad scramble for motor scooters. Not caused by a status seeking Don Quixote, butinvented by a crazed, frustrated, and late student. In other words, cars are out and inversly parkingspaces are in. If the influx of cars continue we'll have to tear down Old Main, the Art Building, the MusicBuilding, and the Rain Forest for parking spaces and classes will be taught in cars similar to the waydrive-in movies teach. If you live ten blocks from school don't drive because you'll have to walk twelveblocks to get to class. There is a solution to mitigate our fears. Actually there are two solutions: (1) build a temporary gravel parking lot in the Veteran's housing area or (2) build a four level car garage. The firstidea is a sound one and it would hold 400 cars but this would only be a temporary measure. The second plan would cost $1,200,000 to build and would take years to pay off at a cost of $2,380 per stall or perperson. This plan is of course unreasonable but there are people vitally interested in October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 3 ---------- finding a solution, and Mr. Harold Goltz, Ass't. to the President, discussed a few alternatives thatwould be good probable solutions. I just hope the machinery behind the red tape is fast or within the next ten years there won't be any campusâ€”just one tremendous drive in school.

October 27, 1961 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 4 ---------- APATHY IN A GAP Student Government at Western by Karen Bainter Apathy, apathy, apathy . . . thewords echo hollowly year after year whenever Western's student government, student body or therelationship between the two are described. The symbolic blue blazer, or authoritarian wooden gavel, motions, ayes, nays, committees, gripes and complaints, and the controversies that Clayton, Carson Boysen, Al Randall, Louise Bailey, Dave Corliss, Karen Fortin, Bruce Stubbs, Gary Beeman, Thisyear's Legislature members include Dick Hayes, ASB President; Gordy Mills, ASB Vice President; SueMartin, Secretary; Richard Reynolds, Director of Student Affairs, and John Wuest, GovernmentDepartment, advisors; and Dick Frank, Mike Hyatt, Martin Millbank, Terry Motions, ayes, nayes,committees, complaints, the Legislature meets . . . everyone knows enough about to gripe and rumble,but no one really knows the exact truth of what is going on, or really cares enough to present theiropinion to student officers or to trouble to check facts. Part of the gap between the studentgovernment and the student may be the fact that the average student doesn't know, or really care howWestern's government is set up. The basic skeleton of Western's student government consists of threebranches, just like the United States government, the Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Theblue blazer crew, the Legisla-.. ture is the Legislative branch which m a k e s the policies. Meetingswhich are open to the student body are held weekly, Mondays at 4:00 in the Legislature room on thesecond iloor of the VU. Student turnout is usually quite skimpy barring the times when whisperings ofa big controversy seep out to the rest of the campus. Page 4 and Lrnea Wichland, representatives. TheExecutive branch includes the ASB President, his cabinet, and the chairman of the standing boards. The ASB Boards carry out the policies formulated by the Legislature. The standing boards are Pep, Social,Finance, Public Relations, Union, Facilities, Elections, Co-op, and Athletics. The final branch ofthe governmental skeleton is the Judicial branch. Three persons, appointed by the ASB Presidentmake up this board which interprets the constitution in cases oi conflict. But there are still gapsbetween the government and the average student. How many times does the Legislature echo the realvoice of the Western student in its decisions.. How many votes are cast under the influence of purelypersonal biases? How many representatives are "yes men" simply be-caue it is easier thanstanding up for a small point that isn't really WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN too important, orthat is a little too much bother to investigate thoroughly? In an attempt to, reach the student body'sfeelings and views on different subjects the Legislature members are working on a plan by whichthey could talk and be questioned by students at house meetings in campus dorms and living groups.Perhaps, this will narrow some gaps, and kill the fungus of apathy and indifference which grows inclusters on Western's "Don't Give a Damn" campus. AL RANDALL Meet your Legislator by Penny VanSlyke Today while I was guzzling coffee and smoking cancer fags in the Cof-iee Shop, who should come groping through the screen of smoke but Al Randall, your legislator-at-large. Al applied a month ago forthe Legislature and was elected. His qualifications for this responsible job were that he was of Juniorstatus, had fairly high grades, was a member of the Union Board and the Elections Committee. Al'shome is Edmonds, Washington. He attended Everett Junior College for one quarter, but wasdisappointed in the lack of interest displayed by the student body so he transferred to Western. Here, he has stayed and is now planning to graduate in, two years with a Teaching Certificate in English. He AlRandallâ€” Alpiner and English major plans to go into the teaching field, but is also very interestde inpolitical science, his second major. He enjoys all outdoor sports, especially skiing and hiking which explains why he is President of the Alpine Club. October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 5 ---------- Al takes the responsibilities of Legislature seriously; however, he has shown particular interest in twophases. The first of these is the Kui-shan Cabin which is owned jointly by the student body and theBelling-ham Hiking Club. The cabin is in very bad condition and, being as we do own half oi the cabin,we should take enough interest in it to repair it. Al is very emphatic about this and is going on a one-man campaign to accomplish it. So if anyone feels aa he does, talk to him and give him your support. He isyour legislate-and if you want to voice your opinion to the Legislature go to him. He *, working for you.The second phase which he Is interested in is the National Student Association. This is a national!;/represented college student association. They have formed a lobby in Congress through which theycan express student feeling on political issues of the day. Al was quoted as saying, "Being connectedwith this organization will force the student body to come in contact and make decisions on suchissues as Communism and the John Birch Society. This is a way to get our students to think moreabout National Affairs than just about the bars on Higginson Hall." I was very impressed with theinterest shown by Al Randall. He seems to be very competent and is doing a fine job for you. Oncampus there is an apparition known as a piledriver. Throughout the day, one can hear this monsterpuffing and huffing, striving to drive the piles deeper and deeper. Ugly and powerful, it sits there,surrounded by stacks of pilings, hammering and smashing, driving and bashing, molding these hunksof wood into a foundation for1 tile future Humanities Building. The hammer falls endlessly, Kablonk,kablonk, kablonk. I can easily envision this machine as a symbol of an inevitabilityâ€” theinevitability of the statement "The Strong shall inherit the Earth.'' In the classrooms we have theTheory of Evolution and Surival of the Fittest, presented to us is the glorious unfolding of Man's ascent to the top of the evolutionary heap. October 27, 1961 Man is ruler of the earth because of his ability toadapt to new envir-omental situations and to adapt the envirinment to fit his desires. Evolution is change: change is a-daption; adaption is strength. And the strongest shall survive. Again on campus, we havethe Administration setting up rules and regulations for "proper" behavior (also ":or our own good"). Ifone deviates too far from the norm, he will be placed on Social Probation. Kablonk! In Bellingham, themoneyed men (the restauranteers and other "small-' businessmen) control the town's political setup. But this is true of any town of Bellingham's size. These men decide the "proper" behavior patterns of theircustomers. If the customers don't practice these patterns of behavior, it is likely that they will not be customers for long. And the piles are driven deeper . . . In the United Nations Building, Mr. Kruschevpounds the table, screaming threats at the Western Nations. The first reaction of a scared man is toscream. At various test sites throughout the world, nuclear bombs are smashing the earth, sterilizingand gouging it into parched wasteland. Again and again the bombs explode louder, the craters growdeeper, and the men run faster. This month it's a 50 megaton bomb-a crater 400 feet deep. Smash andrun. . . It appears to me that the people in power set up the rules of behavior for those not strongenough to be in power. It may well be that "The bigger they are, the harder they fall", but it is also truethat the smaller you are, the harder you get smashed. Undeniably, Might Makes Right. The HammerFalls . . BOOK THEFTS Thieves run rampant by Don Miller Widespread reports of stealing havereached the office of The Dean of Men. The stealing has been mainly of text books, although many other items have also been reported stolen. The primary areas that the thieves have concentrated on are theV. U. Book Store, the book racks, just outside of the snack bar, the organized student houses anddorms, the Dining Hall (Commons) and stndent automobiles. The percentage of students who aredishonest is extremely small, but this small minority is reponible for widespread stealing which is caus-fESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN ing a great deal of concern to both students and facultymembers. NOTICE: IF YOU ARE CAUGHT STEALING you can and may be suspended from thiscollege; further, it may be entered on your permanent scholastic record. It is requested that eachindividual do the following in these situations. 1. Stolen Book: Report it at once to the book store and tothe Dean of Mens office. If the book is found, it can be returned to you, ONLY if you have reportedyour loss. 2. Found Book: Turn the book into the lost and found as soon as possible. (Located in OldMain at the Business Office.) MARKED BOOKS are a deterent to stealing. Please mark your books insuch a way that they may be easily identified. "Protect your belongings." DO NOT lay down your textbooks where someone may be tempted to steal them. Examples of the stealing which is taking placeare: One student set all his books down in the coffee shop then proceeded to buy some coffee. When he returned, his books were gone. In the book store a student bought an Earth Science book for $5.50He laid it down with the rest of his books and returned to buy a pocket book which he had forgotten topurchase. When he returned to the book rack three minutes laterâ€” NO Earth Science BOOK .'.'.'The ASB Legislature has appointed a committee to check into the possible purchase of lockers to aidstudents in safeguarding their property. If you need books but do not have sufficient funds to by them,you can borrow money from the student loan fund. To arrange for a loan, contact either the Dean ofMen's or the Dean of Women's offices.

The Region Eleven Association of College Union's Conference will began Thursday, November 2, andwind up Saturday, November 4. Over 230 people (both students and faculty) will represent over 40colleges and universities in California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii,British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Last years conference was held at the University ofCalifornia at Davis, California. A cabaret mixer will be held Thursday night iu the Coffee Shop for "getacquainted" purposes. This necessitates that thp Coffee Shop be closed to Western students for theevening. (This is to give you ample warning to start a "migrate to cafes movement" or plan instantcoffee in tap water attempts.) The conference this year will be the largest in the history of theassociation. The agenda of the conference is concerned with student activities, not studentgovernment. The schedule includes banquets, meetings and discussions. "This is a conference wherethings get done," states Darryl Zentner who has attended two others. LEGISLATURE Unanimous Ayes by Nancy Matson At 4:00, October 23, amid low lights and cigarette smoke, Western's seventeen sat around the rectangular table in VU 208â€” the Legislature meeeting was in order. Two items made upthe old business. The first, the Brothers Four. Because only 475 students bought tickets for theafternoon performance, an expected amount of money was not madeâ€”but, as Gordy Mills broughtout, the purpose of the program was not to make money but to entertain. And besides, an A L seriesperformer has never made over $1,500 (to the series large crowds never seem to go, it was added.) Thisseems to justify the loss (yours incidentally), and most Legislature's consciouses appeared to beeased as no one "made a fuss". The second item under old business was to elect representa- DarrylZentner, Mr. Reynolds, Tom Gill Completing conference conference - * Dr. Ronald A. Workman â€” Dr.Alan H.

Out of six candidates, Carson Boyson, Karen Fortin, Mike Hyatt, and John Sigardsonwere elected. New business was opened with the unanimous approval of having Mr. Weust stay on asadvisor. Five more unamimous decisions followed: to appoint a committee of five (any others who have ideas can contribute, too) to investigate the concession situation for the new gym; to transfer the jobof deciding the feasibility of Western's attending the Oregon State Winter Carnival February 23- 25 atBend, Oregon to the ski club; to agree upon paying $7.50 rental for the third Union barber chair until thenew college owned chair arrives from Japan; and to refer again to committee the stealing problemprevalent on campus. This last unanimous decision came about after a long discussion in responseto Don Miller's report on stealing at Western. He said that the Bookstore would have to sell $1,000worth of merchandise to make up for $100 worth of losses. It was suggested that students will justhave to keep an eagle eye out for their belongings to prevent them from disappearing until otherprecautions can be made. To combat the thieves it was suggested that lockers be bought or rented bythe college, and that a threat of being expelled and exposed in the Collegian be used as a deterent.Lastly Gordy Mills brought the Legislature up to date on homecoming revealing that Western would be transformed into an imaginary kingdom, the student body into peasants; the faculty into lords,midterms into the harvest, and that the bonfire would not be a "brawl" but a rally where houses can throw things on the fire (things, referring to effigized house mothers, he jokingly added.) Karen Fortin endedthe hour by putting in a plug for the Friars, a singing group from Michigan State. There's a possibilitythey might be performing on campus in April. The meeting was closed by President DickHayesâ€”without the usual unanimous ayes.

The Union Government concerns itself with the co-ordination of facilities and determinationof standards in respect of higher educaction and research and scientific and technical education. Co-ordination in regard to elementary and secondary education is secured through All-India Councils. TheUnion Government are also responsible lor the running of four universities (Aligarh, Banaras, Delhi andVisva Bharti) and such other institutions of national importance as Parliament may by law declare.Expenditure About two-thirds of the total expenditure on education is met from the government funds,the remaining being covered by funds from municipal a.nd district boards, endowments and tuitionfees. Tuition fee is charged only from the 9th grade onwards and is rather nominal except in the case oftechnical colleges. Literacy Percentage of literacy tor the population as a whole is about 40, it beinghigher in case of men than women. The percentage of children undergoing instruction to the total number of children in the age group 6-11 is about 60 and in the age group of 11-17 about 20. It is assumed thatby 1965-66 all the children between 6-11 years of age would be in school,. This is by no means a meanachievement considering that at the time of independence in 1947 only 14 per cent of India's 360million people were literate where as now 40 per cent among 440 million are literate. Educational system The educational system is divivded into Primary or Basic, Secondary and Higher and Universityeducation. Primary or Basic Education 6-14 years An AlMndia Council for Elementary educationedvises the Central and State Governments on all matters relating to elementary education and topreparation of programs for the early implementation of compulsory and free education. The courses of study are in Languages, Social studies, General science, Mathematics, Arts and music, Craft andPhys- Page 8 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 9 ---------- ical Education. All courses are compulsory for all the students. Among the languages every child isrequired to learn his mother-tongue, which is also the medium of instruction, and take up study of Hindu, the official language of the country, after fifth grade and a third language in the following year. This thirdlanguage can either be lEnglish or any other Indian language. Every school, however, is required tomake provision for the teaching of English which is as a rule the third language. In the case of secondand third languages, the emphasis is on the language expect only. Secondary education 14-17 yearsSecondary education is a self-eou-tained and complete stage because for the majority of the studentsthis would be the end of schooling. Ai - India Council of Secondary Education advises the Central andState Governments in all matters. The curriculum consists of compulsory core-subjectsâ€”Languages, Social studies, General Science, Mathematics and one Crait and three elective subjects.These elective subjects are chosen from one of the seven groupsâ€” Humanities, Sciences, Technical,Commercial, Agriculture, Fine Arts and Home Science. All the schools, however, do not offer all theseven groups, three being the usual. Besides these three electives a student may take at his option oneadditional subject from any of the groups irrespective of whether or not he has chosen his other optionsfrom that particular group. Language requirement at the secondary istage is only one language besidesthe mother tongue. This may be Hindi or English or any other language. Higher and University education Post-secondary education in India is imparted through arts and science colleges, professional colleges,special education colleges, research institutions and universities. The universities are of threedifferent types: 1. Affiliating type, which do not undertake any teaching but merely prescribe courses ofstudy, conduct examinations and award degrees and diplomas in respect of colleges affiliated tothem. 2. Affiliating and teaching type, which in addition to carrying out functions of the afliliating type off-generally at the post-graduate level, er teaching and research facilities 3. Residential and teachinguniversities, which are unitary organizations controlling all colleges under their jurisdiction in allrespects and undertaking teaching at all levels. A number of the new universities belong to thiscategory. Besides these there are special educational institutions i n c l u d i ng schools for thehandicapped and for social workers; schools of music, dancing and other fine arts; of oriental studies,adult education, etc. Special efforts are being made in the fields of higher technical education, ruralhigher education, social education, physical education and sports.

UP TO DATE WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN by Bob Pike On May 7,1945, General Jodl signed the unconditional surrender which ended the war in Europe and brought to aclose the bloody drama of the Third Reich. With the last gasp of Nazi Germany came the death ofEurope as master of its own house. With the close of the war, two giant superpowers would eclipse theimportance of Europe and place as pawns on their chess board the once mighty nations of France,Germany, and Great Britain. In the sixteen years since V-iB day, the cold war has come of age andEurope has become a vital part of the cold war struggle. Likewise, the question which has plaguedEurope since 1848, has become even more of a problem in this contest between East and West. Thatproblem is the role of Germany in European and world politics. Germany Suffers Defeat The Prussianrevolution of 1848 was, by and large, the great impetus to the nationalistic spirit which demanded theunification of the German people. In the two decades that followed, Prussia was to wage warsuccessfully against Denmark and Austria to satisfy that nationalistic urge. In 1870, Prussia and France would fight a war which would end in defeat and humiliation for Louis Napoleon on one hand, and theunification of Germany on the other. In the period between 1871 and 1914, the new Germany was toshow its flexible economic and military muscle in all walks of European life. Then World War I wouldbring the first military defeat that Germany had known. That defeat should have answered the question of Germany's relation to the balance of power. Yet in the final analysis, the Versa! les Treaty was tohave been built upon a foundation of said. Nazi Germany was to rise from the shattered particles of the foundation, in 193?, the world would again be plun-ed into war. This time the impetus would be theGerman invasion of Poland. The question that Europe faced was essentially that of 1941 â€” the growthof German power. In 1961, the question is different, but it still concerns Germany. The difference isone which exists because of the pres- October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 11 ---------- ence of two foreign powers in European affairs. The question is now who will control Germany. The Berlin Crisis which the world faces today is only a small part of the total drama of the same question. Berlinis only a prelude to what the Soviet Union has in mind for all of West Germany. If the objective of theSoviet Union is to secure its influence over the territory it now controls in Eastern Europe, then it must be expected that the Soviets will strike at the position of West Germany and Berlin. West Germany,with Berlin as its outpost, stands as the greatest single threat to Soviet security in Eastern Europe. One major reason for this is economic development. Giant of Industry Since the end of the Second WorldWar, West Germany has become a giant among industrial nations. This prosperity of West Germany and Berlin serves as a constant reminder to the Eastern European States that Communism as aneconomic reality is far from Utopia. More and more, the nations of Eastern Europe have found thatCommunism means exploitation by the Soviet Union. To the Soviets, Communism means nationalism.But, to the Eastern Europeans, Communism has meant political and economic imperialism. Berlin isthe focal point of these differences between East and West. Berlin is, as Nikita Khrushchev has called it, the "bone in the throat" of Communist Europe. Examination of the figures for refugees fleeing fromEastern Europe to the West gives support to these economic and political differences. Berlin isdangerous to the Soviets both as a showcase and as a refuge. If tjhe Soviet Union is to tighten itssecurity of Eastern Europe, it must not only eliminate Berlin, but it must eventually weaken the totaleconomic structure of Western Europe. Destroying Berlin as an outpost does not scolve the Sovietproblem â€” it merely transfers i.t Once Berlin is eliminated, the Soviet's next objective must be the inthe European economic structure, is the core of the problem reduction of West Grmany proper. WestGermany, as the cornerstone faced by the Soviet Union. Only by the elimination of West Germanycan the economic power of Western Europe be diminished. Not A Unique Problem The United States,and the West, must view the Berlin Crisis not as a unique problem, but as part of the question on who is to control Germany. The question of Germany must finally be settled, but it must be settled withoutthreatening the long-term security of Western Europe. The freedom of Berlin must be upheld as thefirst step in insuring that security. As long as Berlin remains an outpost of the West, the Sovietsystem will not be secure. Once Berlin is compromised, the West has threatened its own position andthe security of the future generation. THE FIFTH CORNER by Judy Borman To Mr. Nelson â€”Though the issue of Carol E. Williamson's letter to the editor has already been overdone, I would like to point out, in reference to your letter, that Miss Williamson's being "only a Freshman" was one of tworeasons given for her hesitance to take a stand on the issue involved, and was thus subject to fair attack In fact she wrote me a letter amending this statement to read: "Since I have not had the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge on the matter . . . I feel that I cannot honestly take a stand." Mr. SidneyMendel set the minds working and the tongues thirsting as he recounted to a group of student writers his own campus days when aspiring authors met to discuss their manuscripts in a smoke-filled room over a pub. The handiness of a keg seemed to be a constant inspiration and the Western Writer's Club tookheart as they began to plan for future writer's meetings. Any interested student may submit some of his writings to Mendel and to Writer editor Brent Remmert, who will then have the better samplesmimeographed and distributed to others in the group to be discussed at the next meeting. The groupwill meet again this Thursday and the meeting is open to everyone. Something new this year: Coedstudent-faculty recreation in the gym and swimming pool each Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. What hashappened to the English language? Who has hidden the rules of grammar and lost the dictionary?Who has taken the language and drowned it in ambigious, inaccurate verbiage? The answer to thisquestion might well be: the American public school. Somewhere along the line, students have failed tolearn the correct use of their own language. The themes and reports submitted in college classes areoften appallingly poor. Something is terribly amiss when college students write fragrments instead ofsentences and use periods instead of commas. Let's take a good look at our English grammar textand start re-evaluating our use of the language and also, what do you say we take a look at a dictionaryonce in a while? The UN â€” an idea that was too ideal, a concept which was twisted as it grew. Thispast week the U.N. flag has flown the world over and the world over there have been mixed emotionsabout the flying of the gold and blue. The words United Nations bring to mind, not the actualorganization but rather our own country, a nation of many people united under the word "America."Let me quote from Archibald MacLeish: "She's a tough land under the corn mister: She has changedthe bone in the cheeks of many races, She has winced the eyes of the soft Slavs with her sun on them.

On the other hand, Central looked sloppy and loathsome for a team that was supposed to be so red hotthat not even the best bartenders in town could handle them last Friday night. For being in first place theydon't deserve it. For game sportsmanlike conduct they deserve to be at the bottom of our neighboringinstitution's totem pole. No, there is no reason for a team like Central to be in first place and there isdefinitely no reason for Western's finest team in years5 to hang its head in remorse. No one on campuswould expect it of the best. So lets direct la pelotita debajo y siga leyendo: Item: Western 13 - Central 18 â€” After the printer's ink errored my prediction on last week's game I spetit the weekend hated andignored as usual, or admired as a future Royal Brougham (intention 13-8). Western defeated itself inabout three big moves but 5,000 plus fans went away talking about one of the most inspirational jobs inthe history of Western athletics. Future stars, well you can bet that the material for next year ihas gained its combat wings already; Congratulations to the great thinking of the Messrs. Drs. Lounsberry andjomaras. Item: Wester* J.V.' Double Delight â€” The J.V.s took two big games from UBC's junior varsityby the scores of 18-7 and 19-6. Leading the Vik-ettes were Ray Anchan and Jerry Joyce's breakawayrunning. This department was just wondering how many of the ballplayers from UBC were a part of thecontingent who played the Big Brothers early this year. Well, that's sports. Item: School Spirit â€” Thiswriter would like to congratulate Western's yell team for outcheering Central's cheering team becauseWestern had more Yell leaders. Need more be said to the apathetic upper or udder classmen. You knowyou set the example and when you don't get u,p and yell â€” what do you expect the Freshmen to do.Quit trying to show you're superior when you don't do anything to PROVE it to them. You know the upper classmen are supposed to be those so casual, such smooth clods that don't live in the past on THEIRMEMORIES. Quit being nostalgic, it's sickening. Item: Ex Viks 8 -Georgian 0 â€” Just a bunch of has-beens winning their third victory. Game honors go to a new recruit Jack Heins (former WSU and St.Martin basketball star) and to former good guy Bill Burby. Team slogain: Better to be a has-been than anever-was. Item: Varsity Basketball - pertinent facts: 24 game schedule not counting the playoffs andthe trip to Kansas City. Eight returning lettermen and 20 freshman. Prediction: They'll be in shape or dead by December 1. TIME OUT Enter a team into the Intra-mural Basketball league. Sign up now by gettingan entry blank from Dr. Ciszek. First meeting is o*i Friday, today at 4:00 in Room 109 of the new Gym . .. another complaint being heard around campus that the jocks are cutting out on jobs early, where non-jocks are working side by side with them. Just hoping a few don't spoil something for the future . . . incase you're wondering who tries more than anybody to get Western into the big time newspapers, etc.,it's that man about town Jack Robertson . . . Just kidding (ha, ha) Whitworth is the only Christian schoolthat sends out a missionary who majored in football at College . . . and you know as the years go bythey get better at it . . . Adios pagans. INTER-COLLEGE WRESTLING Hey, fellows, can you wrestle?No, not coeducationally, inter-collegi-ately. If you can, you are wanted. Page 14 matches will bearranged soon, and there is a possibility of an intercollegiate tournament on this campus. About 25men have expressed interest in the team, but others are still needed. Persons with high schoolwrestling experience are especially preferred. Turn-outs will start as soon as the recently ordered matsarrive. Interested persons may contact Dr. Tomaris, the wrestling coach, in the PE Building any timebefore 3:00. CENTRAL ROTTEN by Nigel Adams For losing the West Coast Game of the week,Western should never ieel as though they should play second fiddle. Central's blobs on the line werebeat to a pulp and if it wasn't for some backs like Rath and Ishida you can bet that the kids Western isgoing to have a wrestling team for the first time. Because of a limited budget, the team will have tooperate on an "at home" basis. However matches have been scheduled with Central and theUniversity of British Columbia. Other WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Viking Chalks One Upfrom the Windy City would be going back empty of their hot air. Are they that good, and did theymanhandle Western? Obviously, no. Central is a rotten club for being in first place. They don't deserve that victory in the least. The only time they looked fairly good was in the first series of plays when theyscored. From then on it was Western's night as finer conditioning and better alertness paid off timeand time again. Outstanding for Western were Garry Moore and Bob Plotts at the ends. Plotts had apenalty nullify and was the game's leading ground gainer with 95 yards. All alone was another freshmansensation, Terry Varner. It was Varner who would have had the tying touchdown at halftime had it notbeen barely deflected. This was a turning point. Tn the line Dick Hayes, Matt Kjel-stad and GaryFumano, were short of great in stopping Central.

It started wayback last year when film trading and then, ineligible trackmen, made the league penalize the Whitworth Machine. The film trading wan an incident where Western's game with a Tacoma school was handedover to Whitworth so they could be ready for a Western team that won only two games last year. SoWestern travels to Whitworth and Spokane and meets a Machine in Whitworth and an alumniWhitworth newswriter in a Spokane paper. The latter comment because last spring when the bancame, this one sports editor wrote a nice little editorial saying that Whitworth is a nice little school, withnice little Christian kids and they have nice little coaches who don't really mean anything wrong â€” Sowhy ban them? Now let's face it. There are a lot of other Christians at other schools So some of theseChristians have state support. But all Christians believe in rules for man to live by. So il' you commit asin you're guilty. It's that simple. Why make an issue of the ban? But Whitworth has made an issue of ittime and time again. Notice the big scores against some of the schools. You know, when winning, evenathletics has some ethics. Last week Eastern lost, 52-0; earlier in the year it was a PLU team, 67-0,etc. etc. How will Western fare? I'm afraid they'll do all right. It would be foolish not to pick Whitworthsimply on the basis of comparative scores. But Western hasn't played its best game of the year yet. Itwlil be a wide open affair with lots of running and passing from Spur-lock and Murio. This corner picksWestern, 21 â€” Whitworth 20. (It's a football game, not a grudge battle, remember.)
