A MOTION BY BEN HAAG to vote bysecret ballot on the controversial baseball issue caused an immediate unfavorable reaction fromspectators at the Board of Control meeting yesterday afternoon. .. The proposal, as explained by Haag- and Jack Rabourn, was intended to equalize any influence the presence of several of the AthleticDepartment's faculty might have on Board members.

May 29, 1958 55% vote, $2 fee raise passes • • • • • • • • • Emerson,Rabourn, Bos Amos win Board election By WAYNE EHLERS A RECORD BREAKINGELECTORATE of 1043 (55%), stimulated by a controversial Bookstore issue and an energeticpublicity campaign, selected four new student government officials for next year and passed threeBoard of Control propositions on Monday and Tuesday. Dennis Fish, Elections Committeechairman, revealed that 722 persons voted Monday and 321 (including absentee) on Tuesday. Incomparison only 23% of the student body chose to vote last spring and 42% elected next year'sAssociated Student Body president and vice-president last quarter. "THIS ELECTION INDICATEDTHAT there is a irend toward majorities selecting their student leaders instead of only a small groupof persons deciding who should serve," Fish said. "Because of the number of candidates representing all houses and off-campus organizations, small voting factions proved to be the deciding factor in severalof the close races." Fred Emerson .received the most votes (715) of those running for the BOC. Uponhearing that he had been elected to a four-quarter position, Emer- ' son commented, "I will strive for abetter relationship between the athletic department and the BOC. I wil try to inform the Board of some ofthe coaches' problems and in turn explain the Board's difficulties to the coaching staff." DAVE AMOS,COLLEGIAN EDITOR AND -former Board member, was also elected. "The final results weresomewhat surprising to me, especially the fine showing that Emerson (Fred) made." Barbara Bos,another former Board member, will return to the Board. She said, "I was glad to hear that so- manypersons voted. I'll be around next week to see Bob Dunlap eat those 88 ballots*" Miss Bos continued,"I'll be happy to talk over ASB problems with any student and receive his suggestions but I shallexercise my own judgement when voting decisions must be made." JACK RABOURN, RE-ELECTEDTO ANOTHER four-quarter term, commented, "I was surprised at one BOC race. I'd like to add that I'mvery happy to be re-elected and will continue to serve the best interests of the students as -I" have inthe past." THE BOOKSTORE PROPOSITION needed 60% and managed 63% with 655 supporting the issue and 379 deciding against. The new constitution proposal called for 67% of those voting to vote infavor in order to pass. 837 (over 80%) voted in favor, 150 against. Reallocation of Co-op money to thenew Bookstore was approved 751 to 265. JACK RABOURN FRED EMERSON Editor Carolyn Kyleannounces: Klipsuns to come out Wednesday "WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FUN putting out this year'sKlipsun, and we think it's one of the best ever!" Klipsun Editor Carolyn Kyle exclaimed enthusiastically this week. Her 35 man—and woman— staff is preparing now for their final job of the year:distributing the results of their labors next Wednesday. The annuals can be picked up from 12 to 4:30 on Wednesday and from 9 to 4 on Thursday. After these dates they can be obtained in the KlipsunOffice between 3 and 5. SNEAK PREVIEWS OF THE book make it look very good, according toprivileged viewers. Features i n c l u d e some outstanding color work and a radically changed facultysection. The cover is padded and a more expensive binding, new to Western, has also been used. Thenew binding should give increased wear-resistence and will add a more professional look to thepublication. This year the Klipsun was printed by Craftsman Press of Seattle. Some 2,000 copies will be available for the students who have paid their annual fee. This fee is a regular one of $2 each quarter,paid during registration. If students have been absent from school any quarter, the balance of theirKlipsun . Fee must be paid in the Business Office before they can get their book. Everyone picking up yearbooks must have an Activity Card. No card, no book.

"This isa play within a play" commented s t u d e n t director Barry Koutz. The cast has been altered somewhat from the original eight men and two women, to all men in the play. The play stars Lee Mann asBottom, with Don Adler playing Thisbe and Dave Robertson, Quince. Barry is experimenting with it nowand plans to produce the play next year at the Illinois speech contest. A RADICAL CHANGE OF PACE will be shown in Lois Stanton's play. It is heavy tragedy. The story takes place in an Irish fishing village.It concerns a mother who lost her husband and six sons to the sea. Sue Weidman, whom many willremember for her starring role in "The Father," does an effective job as the tragic Irish mother. Alsoincluded in the cast are Sharon An-dreson as the younger daughter. Ardith Lein as the older sister and Gerry Cole as the son. The realistic style of such an author as Tennessee Williams, will be seen in the next play. It takes place in the slums of New York. A lone woman is watching the sun set, reflectingwhat goes on in the city below, as a trumpet wails its lonesome cry. She has a crippled husband, and the play concerns her infidelity. The cast includes Cecil Kemp as the cripple, Barbara Garrett as thewife Helen, and Curtis Chambers as Helen's lover. Jim Hamilton is student director.

However, the Vikings were outmanned and had to settle for third placebehind the two Spokane powerhouses, Whitworth and Eastern. After a nip and tuck battle throughoutthe afternoon, the Pirates of Whitworth edged Eastern by a score of 99 to 84}£. The Viks finished with38% tallies, and were followed by host U.B.C. (30, Central (7), Pacific Lutheran (12%), and College ofPuget Sound (3%). TWO RECORDS FELL DESPITE the scorching ever-present sun. Dick Moultrie ofWhitworth established a new mark in the pole vault as he -cleared 13 feet, lxk inches. In the 880 yardrun both Cole Harris of UBC and Mike Higgins of Central bettered the old standard of 1:56.7. Harris'record winning time was 1:55.8. Western's only first went to speedster Dick Kolkana, who took the 220yard dash with a clocking of 22.4. Kolkana almost won the century also, but was "nosed out" byWhitworth's Dan Inosanto, who was timed at 9.8 to Kolkana's 9.9. Gary Phillips, record holder in the440 yard dash, was edged by Daryle Russell of Whitworth. THE VIKS DID WELL IN the hurdles, takingtwo places in both the highs and the lows. Gary Fuller of Eastern was victorious in each event. In the120 yard high hurdles, Sam Martin and Tom Davis placed third and fifth respectively. In the 220 yardlows, Davis finished second and Martin fourth. The relay team of Kolkana, Hagen, Davis, and Phillipsmade it's best time all year (3:27.2) but had to settle for third place in the torrid race. Whitworth won the event with a clocking of 3:23.6. Martin picked up his third place in the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet,9 inches which placed him third. Bob Swalwell finished fourth in discus competition. Norm Diebel wasfifth in the 100 yard dash. OTHER DOUBLE WINNERS BESIDES Fuller were Clyde Corpenter ofEastern, victorious in the mile and two mile runs, and Sam Gulley of Whitworth, who won the honors inthe high and broad jumps. John Fromm, conference and national record holder from PLC, had no troublewinning his specialty. His toss of 228 feet, 11 inches was short of his better heaves, but still enough toexcite the Vancouver fans. THE FANS WERE TREATED to a 10,000 meter (6 miles) spectacularexhibition. Doug Kyle, ex-UBC distance runner and conference record holder in the two mile, amazedthe onlookers with his stamina. Kyle ran the 25 lap "race" in the exceptional time of 30 minutes and39 seconds.

The doubles team of Erickson - Staves lost out in the finals to Central's doubles team, 3-6, 4-6. SINGLES—Erickson over Igeman DOUBLES — Western defeated Central, 9-7, 6-0, and CPS,6-1, 6-3.

Championship Golf team take title "IT WAS ONE OF THOSE STORYBOOK FINISHES,"commented Coach John Kulbitski, after Western's golf team came from fifth place to win theEvergreen conference championship last week. At the halfway mark, the Vikings were 13 smokesbehind first-place PLC. They began creeping up when Bill Wright completed the first nine holes of thesecond round with a 5-under-par 30.

Miss Hazel Plympton Enjoys -Teaching Work "New York has far exceeded my expectations," writes Miss Hazel Plympton, Normal art instructor whofis now attending Columbia university. Miss Plympton has sent several copies of "The Berkeley Blotter", from Berkeley Institute, where she is doing her student teaching. In answer to her request, the Viking staff will begin exchanging weekly issues with the Brooklyn publication immediately. o- Rec Hour Tonight Orchestra Composed Entirely Of Normal Students Bee hour has been planned for tonight to take the place of the junior-senior party which is scheduled on the school calendar. Helen Acklen, Board member in charge of rec hours, has appointed Martha Lou Pulver as chairman of the arrangement committee. Miss Pulver has secured the services of Mel McKee's orchestra, composed entirely of Normal students under the direction of Jack Rauch, also a student. Faculty guests will be Miss Georgia P. Gragg and Dr. E. A. Bond. Betty Franklin, May-nard Ponko, and Rex Rolle are the student sponsors. - Grads Honored With Dedication Five Thousand Invitations Issuedto Alumni; Elaborate Plans Near Completion Committee chairmen have been appointed, hundreds of. invitations issued, a tentative program arranged and final plans are now well under way for the annual Homecoming celebration which will be held November 6 and 7. Marion Haydon, general chairman of the affair, has already received enthusiastic response from her many committeemen who plan on making this a memorable Homecoming. Those who will aid Miss Haydon are: dance, Oscar Star-lund; booklet, Jerry Jacobson; banquet, Virginia Holm; house displays, Ruth Pugh; bonfire, Tony Hovik; radio program, Martha Lou Pulver; and rally, Kenneth Selander. This year Bellingham Normal will have an added attraction to the Homecoming exercises—the dedication of the new Physical Education building. Construction on this structure was begun last year and its completion has long been anticipated. Complete and definite plans have not as yet been made but the tentative program as now arranged for Saturday, Nov. 7, is as follows: football game with Cheney Normal at 2 p. m., banquet and dedication of new Physical Education building at 6:30 p. m., Edens hall, and a dance in trie new gymnasium at 9 p. m. -o 'Christopher Bean' Rehearsals Begin With the opening night only one month away, V. H. Hoppe and his cast have begun rehearsals and have carefully outlined then- program so as to reach production by November 19th. The play—Sidney Howard's "The Late Christopher Bean," chosen as the Division of Drama's fall production, is a "comedy with a moral." The play will be given in Edens hall Blue room on the evenings of November 19, 20 and 21, with a matinee on Saturday. Activity tickets will admit students and the prevailing price for outsiders will be 35 cents plus tax. "This play was approved by New York, Paris and Berlin audiences and it is fan- to assume that the play is worthy of our serious attention," says Mr. Hoppe. o Alkisiahs To Consider Foreign Music, Culture Alkisiahs held their regular meeting Monday night at the clubroom in Edens hall. There was .general discussion as to what countries the members were interested in studying. Suggestions were made concerning the arts, music and culture of these lands. Lack of sociability was mentioned, so the girls decided to stay after meetings and converse with one another, getting acquainted with the other members. They also decided to put a paper on the bulletin board for new members to sign. o Local Scout Executive Conducts New Course Psychologist To Raise Milk Goats Dr. David Seabury Stresses Importance of Teacher's Knowledge Of Psychology In Talks and Interview From portrait painting to raising goats on Orcas Island, is the unusual gamut run by the interests of Dr. David E. Seabury, eminent New York psychologist, who was the speaker in last Tuesday's assembly. Dr. Seabury intends to spend next summer raising milk goats for sale to sanitariums. "This is not a hobby with me, but an avocation," explained the psychologist, who believes that mere hobbies without a basis of learning, or a definte purpore, are not valuable. When a young man. Dr. Seabury intended to make art his career, and to this end studied portrait painting-in Paris. "I became so interested in solving the problems of other artists that I did not have time to paint," he says, "so I decided to come back to the United States to study psychology. After his education was completed, Dr. Seabury became a member of the staff of Culver Military academy, where he devised the unusual system of teaching spelling by tearing the words apart and analyzing them by means of "creative definitions". Dr. Seabury is very enthusiastic on the subject of teachers and their potentialities for improvement of psychological conditions. Sympathy and interest in the students, and an attempt to understand their motives and needs is the basis for good teaching, he thinks. "Habit kills interest," he says. "A teacher should teach with and not at the class. Dr. Seabury believes that his sympathy and understanding of other people's problems is due to his own misunderstood childhood. Scout leadership class, conducted by scout executive, R. E. Cromp-ton, in charge of scouting in Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan counties, was opened by a talk by the instructor last Monday evening. Commenting on the class, Mr. Crompton said, "A knowledge of scouting makes a man boy-minded, thereby helping him to better fit in a community, whether he be teacher or business man." As in the two previous years that Mr. Crompton has taught this course, it will be followed by a more advanced training in principles of Scoutsmanship. Negro's Heaven is Shown in Movie Soroptimists Sponsor Production Special Price for Students "Green Pastures," the Marc Connelly stage play which showed on the stage for five years, and was then brought to the screen by Warner brothers, will be shown at the Mt. Baker theater, starting Thursday. Saturday night a special showing of the picture will be sponsored by the Soroptimist club of Bellingham. Miss Mary E. Rich and Miss Gertrude Longley will sell tickets to Normal students wishing to see the play. These tickets will cost 37 cents, instead of the usual 40 cents admission. The Soroptimist club is a group of women representing various professions. Miss Rich and Miss Long-ley are the only members from school. The enthusiasm of those who have seen the production and the fact ,hat it took the Pulitzer prize recommend the picture highly. o Optimists Sponsor Ward Stage Show In order to earn money for the Bellingham Orthopedic ward the Optomist club of Bellingham is sponsoring an amateur night. Another purpose of this is to discover local talent. Normal students are also asked to compete. For five consecutive Saturdays, starting October 17, the amateurs will be able to perform. Each night one act will be chosen and on the Wednesday following the last Saturday which will be November 18, the five winning acts will compete for the grand prizes. On the last night the Optimists will get 20 per cent of the money taken in during the evening. This will all go to the Bellingham Orthopedic ward. 'Minick' Launches New Guild Season Krietes, Bacon, Normal Students, Are Given Roles in Drama Bellingham Theater Guild opens its season with a novel play, "Minick." The thread of this light comedy story is of old man Minick, who comes to live with his son and daughter-in-law. This affords a setup of great interest. , The best talent of the guild is cast in this production. Louis Fra-zee takes the lead as the old man, and reminds one of George Arliss in "Old English." He also directs the play. The supporting cast includes Adolph Rank, Oliver Leiser, Milton Clarke, Bernice Johnson, Kay Hol-lingsworth, Kendrick Prazee, Rosa Stewart and two Normal students, Winifred Krieter and Marshall Bacon. The play will run until Saturday night at the playhouse on Prospect street. The performances start promtly at 8:15 p. m.

Hail President Lund The Viking staff takes this opportunity to salute the fifth woman ever elected to the presidency of the Associated Student organization in the school, Florence Lund, "first lady" of BeUingham Normal. In the 37 years since this school first opened its doors only five women have headed the student association. Perhaps it is because few women before this time have shown sufficient executive ability, clearheadedness, and sincerity of purpose to warrant their election to this position, or gained the confidence and the respect of their fellow students to the extent of being chosen by them to hold the most important student office in the school. Perhaps it is because the women have never before made a concerted effort to put their kind "on the map". Whatever the reason may be for this action, we may be assured that this organization shall follow a straight, sane course so long as President Lund is at its helm. gt; 'Ear Ye! Ezio Pinza's mellow, beautifully-controlled basso profundo fell pleasingly upon a large congregation of appreciative ears last night, a goodly number of which, gratifyingly enough, were attached to Normal students. It may not as yet be entirely clear to all that a certain amount is taken from the Associated Student fee, paid by every student in attendance at Normal, for these Civic Music concerts. That is to say, you pay whether you attend or whether you stay home and listen to Bing Crosby or do a little quiet reading in "True Confessions". But it seems that in spite of everything there are always those who say, "I wouldn't pay a wooden nickel to hear that" and then spend the evening playing a slot machine.

McConnell Do the profs like you? Are they more than dutifully polite to you? If they aren't, ask yourself this question, "Do I genuinely and sincerely like the profs, and do I show it normally? Most commentators blame the individual for his own unpopularity. That is well, because if it were within the profs, you couldn't do very much about it. However, if the trouble is within you, something less than a surgical operation will probably correct your maladjustment. Here is the magic formula: cultivate a pleasure within yourself for association with your teachers, and act normally. Pleasure comes from social intercourse by interesting one's self In the teachers and the subjects that they teach. Next, you must act natural. You do act, consciously or unconsciously. Through intent concentration, much of your unconscious behavior can become conscious behavior, and controllable. By reflecting upon every act and evaluating it in terms of good or bad behavior determinable by the reactions of the profs, you can gradually eliminate the undesirable behavior, leaving a charming personality. In general, profs are gentle and human. They are no longer the stern and violent tempered chastis-ers of yesteryear, for the old-time "leaky boilers" have disappeared from our schools. Yet, our respected profs of today do resent insincere friendliness on the part of students, otherwise known as "apple-polishing." Dear Mama Dear Mama: Let me to instructing you how most gentle art of terpsichory are progressing with me. I are in Big Gym on those Tuseday and Thursday nights, and lifting up by boot straps on tip of toes then marching same as feather. Then I having slight troubles.

According to word received from Port Townsend, LEO LANGE has quite a reputation as a heart-breaker. It seems that the local girls have organized a man haters' club since his departure. Don't worry, Leo, they don't have such- a club in this school. A request came over the radio the other night for "You Turned the Tables On Me," for BUD from BETTY. Well! Well!

THE VIKINGS ARE WAITING! •Looking It Over By Nelson A squad oi severely beaten Gon-saga Bulldogs went howlinf homeward after their encounter with the Vlldnf criddera last Saturday nifht. ' Th* ©onsaga Frosh team, reputed to mvre held their own varsity team at bay during a practice game, practically wilted before the vicious onslaught of the Norsemen tribe. BRAIN OVER BRAWN It was fust another case of brain over brawn, where an experience^, Well-drilled group of players outwit-teii their heavier opponents. Viking superiority was proved, by their accurate passing, hard blocking, and speedy running. Conzaga had Weight, but they were sadly inexperienced. Claypoole seems to have a marvelous ability for clinching the passes, judging from the last game, With Chorvat tossing and Claypoole receiving, a pass is automatically complete. GET ACQUAINTED If you havent noticed the "Know Your Players" column, on the opposite side of the page, take a look at it now. This column was instituted to an effort to acquaint the students with the Viking gridders. P.S. It has been rumored that girls of the school studied this column last year, in an effort to decide upon a football hero for themselves. Not a bad idea, it might help some as far as the players' former achievements are concerned OBITUARY NOTICE Somewhere on Ballersby field, near the 40-yard line, a lone Conzaga pigskinner met his end (probably a Viking end) (dumb pun.) It happened this way. Conzaga fumbled, one of their own men recovered and was immediately piled by members of both teams, at least that is what it looked, like to the announcer and the audience. However, when the Vikings and the Bulldogs had been pulled loose, and the smoke of battle had cleared away, a Viking was in possession of the ball I realize that possession is nine points of the law, but where m heck did that poor Bulldog get off? Thai's your problem. o Vikings in Mix Against Heavy Ranger Squad Both Elevens Evenly Matched In First Meeting of Schools In 1 wo Falls Chorvat Plays Flawless Game To Lead Vikings in Smashing Win Over Conzaga Freshmen • • • • Know Your Players Joe Paglia fiery Catholic mentor brings his St. Martins College gridders to town tomorrow night for their initial clash with Bellingham Normal Vikings at Battersby field, at 8 o'clock. Boasting a powerful aggregation of ball players, including a 200-lb. line, and a 175-lb. backfield, the Rangers will be out in an attempt to repeat their 1934 victory over the Vikings. Last year the'two teams did not meet. "Tiny" Schauman, 255 lb. giant, who was formerly all city center on a Chicago high school eleven, and Hansen, 205 lb., one of Sweden's contribution to the football world are the two mainstays of the heavy line. "A couple of babies that can really hit," declares Coach Lappenbusch of the Vikings, who has high praise for these boys. In two games this year the Rangers have defeated the Alt Heidleberg squad of the city league in Tacoma 14 to 0, and held the strong Pacific Lutheran college to a scoreless tie. The Lutherans, it is recalled, recently beat the Ellensburg Wildcats 6 to 0. The Vikings record on the other hand shows a couple of decisive victories: a win over the Itrlian Athletic club of Seattle by a score of 32 to 7, and one over the Gonzaga college frosh 19 to 7. This gives them a total of 51 points scored against their opponents 14. The Gonzaga clash left its toll, as Dzurich, quarterback, and Smith, end, received knee injuries, Setzer a sore jaw, and Krueger, an inflation on his profile. Krueger and Setzer have recovered, however, but Clifton will probably be used in Dzurich's place, and Claypoole, whose pass receiving was quite "sweet" in the Gonzaga game, will take Smith's place. Local fans clamoring for action should enjoy a treat tomorrow night when the Vikings match their speed against the weight of the invaders The probabe starting lineups: • • • Out on Waldo field, Coach Charles Lappenbusch has turning out every night probably the greatest team that ever trod on a Normal gridiron. For the purpose of getting better acquainted with these fellows who are bringing fame to the school, this column is dedicated. * * * * # \ CHET ULLIN, a. ^185-pound lad who hails from Centralia high, plays guard for the Vikings. Ullin is a three year letterman and is largely responsible for the Norsemen's impregnable defense. Ullin can usually be found working in the Co-op and flaunts number 14 on the gridiron. * * * * * GEORGE MILLS, a 185-pound halfback, hails from Marion high school in Indiana. This Hoosier lad was all-state halfback and a letter-winner at the Indiana university. He wears number 31 and can usually be located at Daniels hall. * * * * * CAPTAIN ED TOMCO needs no introduction to old Viking fans. Tomco weighs 185 pounds and is a graduate of Roosevelt high school in Seattle. The big fellow plays center and often gets in the opponents' hair by dragging down a pass intended for an opposing end or halfback. Tomco caters to number 44 ,and also to Miss Longley over in Edens hall. * * * * * FRITZ CHORVAT is a name that Krueger Makes Dazzling Run of Eighty-Three Yards for Third Score Bulldogs Register Tally Visitors Score Touchdown Late In Second Quarter To Frite Chorvat, the much-heralded Gonzaga Frosh were just another football team, as the lad from the Windy city led the Vikings to a riotous 19-7 victory over the Bulldogs last Saturday night at Battersby field. Shortly after the opening kickoff, the Vikings secured the ball on an exchange of punts. Inside of three plays with "Terror" Tarte doing the heavy work, the Vikings had secured a first down. Krueger, on a fake reverse, added eight more yards. Chorvat, breaking through the line, dashed through the entire Bulldog team on a fifty-yard scamper down the fields. Chorvat was flanked on both sides by Viking blockers who cut down their men in rapid succession. Dzurich failed to convert. Vikings—6; Gonzaga—0. Kreuger Runs 80 Yards On probably the longest run yet to be seen on Battersby field this season, Fred Krueger took the ball on his own 17-yard line, cut through tackle, was stopped momentarily by the secondary, shook loose and then slithered and sidestepped his way through clutching hands for an 83- yard gallop to pay dirt. Dzurich failed to convert. Vikings—12; Gonzaga—0. Gonzaga Scores In the second quarter, Nagrodski allowed Shimkus's punt to roll to the 1-yard line. Clifton punted to the Viking's 27. Jacobsen, Bulldog back, went around end for 10 yards. Zumwalt added two more. A penalty for unnecessary roughness added 15 yards to the Frosh march. Twice the Norse forward wall broke through to smear the Gonzagans for losses, then Jacobsen skirted end for a touchdown. Lange was hurt Vikings Rangers Kvinsland L.E Jundel Claypoole R.E Shaw Kinderman R.T Hanosn Bengston R.T Schauman Maski L.G Gillis Wahl R.G Carpenter Tomco C Busko Clifton Q.B Peterson Krueger L.H.B Sweeney Chorvat R.H.B Abbot Tarte F.B Mars ci Kidder Makes Low Score In Opening Play on the play and was carried from the field. Jacobsen's conversion was good. Vikings—12; Gonzaga—7. Chorvat Scores Alain In the third quarter, Bengstine blocked Sherwood's punt on the Gonzaga 21-yard line. In two plays the ball was advanced to the 14. Clifton fumbled and the Frosh recovered. On Gonzaga's first play, the slippery pigskin squirted out of Jacobsen's arms and rolled to the 2-yard^ marker, being recovered by Chorvat. A few seconds later Chorvat cut through the center of the line for his second touchdown of the game. Dzurich's kick was good. Vikings—19; Gonzaga—7. During the final quarter, the Norsemen kept hammering away at the Gonzaga's doorstep but were unable to score. Passes from Chorvat and Nagrodski to Claypoole began to click in rapid succession. The big end was on the receiving end of five passes. The Vikings made nine first downs to four for the Frosh and completed seven out of seventeen passes, while the Bulldogs completed one in five.

Also Tm not used to rain," was the reply Miss Evelyn Rupert, diminutive Physical Education instructor for women, made when asked what she thought of Bellingham and the country surrounding it. Miss Rupert was born and reared in the town of Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, until she went to Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio, where she received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education.. After graduation Miss Rupert taught in Ohio State until she came here. She admits teaching here is a great deal different because of the difference between a registration of 15000 students and 750. Miss Rupert hadn't traveled until she journeyed westward, but now that she is this far it is her desire to continue further and visit the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska.

Different tools were named and their uses demonstrated. The proper handling and care of the tools Was especially stressed. The children showed things they had made from wood. Rhythm in the use of the various implements— the saw, the hammer, the brace and bit—was illustrated to the accompaniment of the victrola. The third grade works in many other mediums besides wood, but wood was chosen for the theme of this assembly because of the increased use of this material made possible by their new work room. The former typing room for student teachers, room 40, has been converted into a room for the children's lunch, work and rest periods. Last week's assembly was presented by the fourth grade children, under the direction of Miss Pearl Merriman, their teacher. Stories of the early history of Bellingham were told by members of the class who were chosen by the rest of the group. Pictures made by the children, illustrating the different stories, were shown. The fourth grade is making hooked mats, and plans to make a book, illustrating with linoleum prints, in connection with this project.

A child care voucher approved by the A.S. Board of Directors will award $750 to Western students who meet the criteria and are chosen. Co-coordinator of the Women's Center Monica McCall-um said she estimated 500 students on campus have dependents. About 200 Western students need daycare at some time, McCallum said. The best part of the voucher, McCallum said, m the lack of focus on academic standing since many student parents do not have high grades.

She volunteered on campus with the Lifestyle Advisor program and in Whatcom County- * with the Human Rights Task Force. She also has taken several student groups on service-learning crips to Mexico. Despite Osterhaus' contributions, Archbishop Alexander Brunett — head of the Archdiocese of Seattle — will replace her with an ordained priest this summer at the Shalom Center. "Shirley is a layperson," said Bill Gallant, communications director for the Archdiocese. "Laypeople can lead religious teachings, but they are not ordained, as priests are." Gallant and Osterhaus had no comment on the personnel issues involved in Osterhaus' replacement. Gallant said, however, different people are routinely rotated into positions like Osterhaus'. "Positions like Shirley's usually rotate more quickly — she's been there for 15 years," Gallant said. Gallant said positions are rotated in order to keep new ideas flowing and to better serve communities. "Faith, for so many of us, is the one constant thing in our lives, and this has shaken that stability," said i recent Western Shirley Osterhaus Laura Gill, graduate. Father Tim Sauer, who periodically provides ministry with Osterhaus, said he feels the dismissal was not meant to reflect on Osterhaus' performance. "Shirley wasn't inadequate at her job in any way; it's just that the Archdiocese preferred to have a priest in her position," Sauer said. "The Archdiocese See OSTERHAUS, page 6 Two armed-robbery suspects arrested By Jonathan Simmons THE WESTERN FRONT Police arrested two suspects involved in an April 6 on-cam-pus robbery, less than 48 hours after three men, one of whom brandished a gun, took a wallet from a Higginson Hall resident. Police booked the two suspects in Whatcom County jail for suspicion of first-degree robbery. Pierce County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Nicholas Tommervick, 20, and Bernard Blosser, 20, at 8 p.m. April 7 at Tommervick's Lakewood house. "We believe we may have also identified the third suspect," said Jim Shaw, chief of University Police. The two suspects, along with one other man, are accused of robbing a student for his wallet at gun-point in Higginson Hall. No injuries were reported. . The wallet was later recovered, but $20 and possibly the resident's student identification card were taken by the perpetrators, Shaw said. "It seems a little excessive," Shaw said of the suspects using a gun to rob the resident. Witnesses saw the" suspects Thursday leaving campus in a black Chevrolet pickup truck. Police tracked the suspects using the car and witnesses' descriptions of the men and what they said before robbing the resident, Shaw said. One witness knew one of the suspects from high school, Shaw said. Craig Yantis/The Western Front Higginson Hall was the site of a recent armed robbery. A reason to phone home: flat fees Renegotiated contract with AT T/ACUS gives students cheaper long-distance prices By Laura Rabel Evan Parker/The Western Front A sunny afternoon gives Rachel Laitala an opportunity to make a call from her terrace at Higginson Hall. THE WESTERN FRONT A renegotiated contract with AT T/ACUS long distance will soon bring Paul Reiser's nationr ally advertised fiat rates to on-campus residents for at least a year. "One of the problems with the ACUS contract to date was the rates were too high," said Vice- Provost for Information and Telecommunication Services Jerry Boles. "We are now in the final process of a new lease with AT T. What this is going to mean is a reduction in long distance for students." Beginning fall quarter 2000 on-campus residents will no longer pay up to 22 cents per minute using their ACUS account. AT T said they would give Western the rates they are offering nationally, so this may vary but should stay competitive, said Kurt Willis, associate director of the Business and Information Systems Office of University Residences. Under the current system, long distance is* separated into tariffs — the time of day and location called directly affects the rate of each phone call.

They received second place out of 10 schools. "Westec is the largest machine tool trade show on the West Coast," said Eric McKell, assistant professor of manufacturing engineering technology and adviser to the students. Students from two Western clubs — the Western Chapters of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers — teamed up for the competition. The students competed in "Manufacturing Challenge"— the part of the show in which students from two- and four-year colleges bring their projects to show and compete. Ben Selting planned and worked on the prototype of the engine in the Vehicle Research Institute. Among other tasks, he worked with the computer numerical control machine, which takes a chunk of metal and machines-out an engine block and cylinder heads. "The most difficult thing was juggling the whole schedule — lots and lots of nights (in the computer lab) and in the Vehicle Research Institute lab," Selting said. He said one of the most satisfying parts of the project was to see the engine parts take shape. "After looking at them and dealing with them on a daily basis, I know everything about (the engine and parts) and they still amaze me," Selting said. The engine and transmission will later be installed into a Society of Automotive Engineers race car at the VRI lab and raced in SAE competitions. "The chassis is being designed and built," Selting said. "Somewhere down the road it will be merged with the car for racing purposes." Selting said the car will most likely be raced during the next academic year. Students from both groups used computer programs to test things like heat and pressure resistance qualities of engine parts and the potential for efficient manufacturing of parts. Reuben Harris, one of the students who worked on manufacturing the project, speculated about the car. Harris estimated that the top speed of the formula car will probably be about 90 mph. The 554 cubic centimeter engine will run on methanol — a racing fuel with a higher burn rate which gives more power during combustion. The car will have "approximately 85 horsepower," Harris said. "We wanted to put Western on the map," Harris said. "And I think we did that."

Last quarter students found out in a 15-credit experience-oriented Fairhaven class, "The American Southwest." "The idea was to combine cultural studies and desert ecology, as well as provide an experiential learning process in living together," said John Bower, an assistant professor at Fairhaven. Four weeks before .the trip, students had lessons on Southwest literature taught by Fairhaven assistant professor Stan Tag. "It was an intensive four-week process of reading literature from different cultures," Tag said. "We studied three main 'Seeing it is one thing but it certainly doesn 't amount to much. Anna Eichhorn excerpt from her journal cultures: Native American, Chicano and Anglo. The class read a book by Luci Tapahonso, a Navajo writer and poet. For Chicano culture they watched a documentary film on the history and we read books on the American-Mexican border issues." The course focused on four broad areas or concepts. The first was desert ecology. Wendy Walker, a visiting professor at Western, joined the group for the Grand Canyon portion of the trip to help guide the group's understanding of the geology and environmental issues of the area. During the trip, each student was required to keep a journal of personal experiences. An excerpt from junior Anna Eichhorn's journal included a memorable experience from the Grand Canyon: "Seeing it is one thing but it certainly doesn't amount to much," she wrote. "Being in the canyon and hiking down among the layers, you can see from the rim. It is more than just a picture being down in it face to face with the rocks, plants and water. "Throughout the trip, we would take nature walks in the desert and see plants or animals. The class would discuss the plant, refer to our textbook on desert life and sketch it in our journals and it was really interesting." The second area the class studied was the literature of the Southwest. "We were able to hang out with an author of a book that we read prior to the trip, Simon Ortiz, who wrote 'Men on the Moon,'" senior Sarah Kopke said. "It was a book on his personal experience as a member of the Acoma Pueblo tribe in New Mexico. As a class we went on a nature hike with him outside of Tucson and he referred to some of the things in his book. It really gave what we read more depth and reality to his writing." Cultural studies were a third aspect of the class — the history of the area and the American Indian people. "At the University of Arizona we went to a number of muse-- urns and one that we went to had information on the Native American history and Native Americans in the present time - which was interesting because it wasn't just the standard history of Native Americans," Eichhorn said. Senior. Virginia Marston remembers meeting a young American Indians girl and her mother at a late-night laundromat and visiting them at their reservation a few days later. "We went to a rodeo, the biggest one that they have on the reservation and we saw the little girl there and met her dance teacher, an elder of the tribe," Marston said. "The dance teacher discussed the sacred peaks that held their creation myths - it was really exciting because like the little girl's mom said we shouldn't be afraid to ask people their stories of life." "The mother was really appreciative because it made her feel proud of herself and her culture to talk to others about it," Marston said. A final focus of the class was the issue of the United States- Mexico border. "While in Mexico we were given a tour of a border town by a Catholic nun, Sister Lauren," Eichhorn said. "She was adamant about her beliefs that the border should be more open. It was fascinating because it gave a more personal aspect about the issue."

"The tourists up on the rim throw pennies onto a nearby ledge for luck," Kopke wrote in her journal. "While I hike 10 miles into the canyon, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world." Senior Laura Dickinson said she was not good with heights and if her fellow classmates had not been so encouraging and supportive, she would have never been able to do the informal rock climb out of the canyon. "I learned a lot about myself," Dickinson said. "Especially my capabilities outside of my comfort zone, such as the hike of the Grand Canyon." "The course was very experiential," Bower said. "From Photo courtesy of Sarah Kopke camping together to pulling cactus's out of each other to just talking to each other about our experiences." "You were able to learn about something on the site rather than sitting in a classroom," Dickinson said. "It was more than just a road trip. I took a lot away from it because you remembered more on a subject and then attached it to a personal experience." L K D O -» d ro - ?§ - I s *• %z o. lt; CD " f s- » o CD 2.

Included among Western's awards were first place for all-around non-daily newspaper, The Western Front, as well as second and third place for best all-around magazine published more than once a year, Klipsun and The Planet, respectively. The top awardee from each region will be judged nationally and awards will be presented in October at SPJ's 2000 National Convention in Columbus, Ohio. Even though she graduated in March, Erin Becker said she appreciated the award. "I'm surprised I won an SPJ award, but it feels great," said Becker, who won second place for editorial writing. "I spent most of my time on The Front editing and not writing, so I was hesitant to enter anything. I think the talent in the journalism department was tough enough to compete with." Jackie Mercurio, who placed first for her non-fiction magazine article, "Deceptive Reflection: A Look to Die For," R. Erin Fredrichs said she was surprised to win an award as well. "I'm really excited," she said. "When I entered, I mainly just did it for the experience, I didn't really think I'd win." The SPJ was founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, t he nation's largest and most broad-based journalism organization. According to the SPJ mission statement, "The Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to the perpetuation of a free press as the cornerstone of our nation and our liberty." Becker, currently an intern at the Kennedy Center in W a s h i n g t o n , D.C., said Western's faculty and staff helped her reach this accomplishment. "Everyone is supportive and always encourages you to do your best," Becker said. "I think we gain a very solid journalism background before we leave Western. We learn to produce quality writing and to think critically." Mercurio, whose article dealt with the tragic effects of bulimia, said the journalism department — particularly Ann Yow and the Klipsun editorial staff — was incredibly supportive. "There were a lot of bumps along the way and they really helped out," Mercurio said. "I think Western's journalism pro- Jackie Mercurio CALENDAR The Western Front archives Erin Becker earned second place for editorial writing. gram is great. It's really prepared me for what's to come." "A good friend of mine was bulimic," she added. "I wanted to show her what could happen to her and it was nice to work on Klipsun and be able to write about anything I wanted to." Becker said she felt some of the work produced by Western students may have been overlooked for an SPJ award. "I think we could've had a lot more winners from Western," she said. "We covered big news events fall quarter and generat- Shane Powell ed so many outstanding stories." Two staff writers of The Planet, a magazine dedicated to social justice and e n v i r o n m e n t a l activism, also received honors. "This award reflects that responsible advocacy journalism is on the rise," said Shane Powell, author and photographer of an untitled piece in The Planet. Ryan Schroeder was t he photo illustrator of the piece which won second place. Other students placing in the competition were Samantha Tretheway, who received third place for a non-fiction magazine article published in Klipsun, "Seeds of Discontent" and R.

"This will greatly impact the community, and it's unfortunate that Shirley's leaving. She brings out the best in young people and makes them feel important," Sauer said. Osterhaus said her work has given her a sense of satisfaction. Although she put effort into her job, she said she received as much back from the students and community as she gave. "When people act on what is true for them and make their own decisions, that encourages me," Osterhaus said. "This job allowed me to live out my deepest passion. The most liberating part for me is when I can see students maturing and growing in faith." Osterhaus served not only Western's Catholic community but Whatcom County in general. Several weeks ago she was inducted into the Northwest Women's Hall of Fame. She organizes a Whatcom 'She's a dedicated, principled person of great integrity who helps students understand their roles, not just as Western students, but as citizens of the world.' Pat Fabiano Prevention and Wellness Services program director Human Rights Task Force banquet every spring and participates in the Whatcom Human Rights conference every Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, among other things. On a larger scale, through the Lighthouse Mission and Central American Refugee Assistance groups, she began helping persecuted refugees from El Salvador who the government was not allowing into the United States. "My car was seized for transporting undocumented people, but I couldn't let that stop me when there's a biblical command to 'take in the fleeing'," she said. "She's a dedicated, principled person of great integrity who helps students understand their roles not just as Western students, but as citizens of the world," Western's Prevention and Wellness Services Program Director Pat Fabiano said. Further, Osterhaus has an adjunct-faculty position in Fairhaven College. "She has taught with other professors on social justice and women's issues," said Fairhaven associate professor Larry Estrada. "It's very uncommon for a ministry member to have such a position, and it says a lot about her academic capabilities and religious commitment," Estrada said. "Shirley is the perfect example of someone working for justice," said Molly Witecki, biology pre-major who is involved with the Shalom Center. Osterhaus said she started working for common good early in life as a result of being born into a family with 10 siblings. In a family that size, she said, the group's needs, not the individual's, are more important. That philosophy has carried over into her work in the Shalom Center as an adult. "She truly puts her heart into what she does," Gill said. Osterhaus also leads an alternative spring break service-learning program. "Two groups in Mexico, Esperanza and Casa de Migrantes have a graduate student exchange program with Western," Estrada said. "This program is nationally renowned," Estrada said. "I've gotten letters from colleagues in San Diego wondering how we put a program like this together in Bellingham. It's largely due to her contributions. "Shirley was very pivotal in this program, which is now in its 11th year," Estrada said. "She was the one who actually took the students to Tiajuana." "This year we had 48 students, our largest group ever," Osterhaus said. "I think slow travel — like the vans we took, rather than airplanes — allows the students to better reflect on the trip." Fairhaven Dean Marie Eaton said Osterhaus is knowledgeable about topics that could not be found in books and she was a positive force for students. After she leaves, Osterhaus said she wants to see the Shalom Center continue to have strong leadership, work for justice and keep creating a community which accepts diversity. "I hope the new priest continues with Shirley's work and thrusts of dedication in the community," Sauer said. "I want to find meaningful work which will empower others," Osterhaus said.

Until recently, the service would have meant if you call Spokane versus calling Yakima prices would vary because of tariffs for distance. Now more one rate plans exist and all Western is doing is wanting to take advantage of that, Willis said. Everyone living on campus receives an ACUS card for long distance calling and roughly 65 percent of students are actually utilizing their accounts, said Valerie Klein, supervisor of telecommunications. Western will extend the contract for one year, going into effect by fall. Under the current contract with AT T/ACUS, Western is paid commission on long distance calls. Part of this commission presently goes to fund the RESTEK program on campus. Money also goes to telecommunications helping fund ether-net connections and other electronic advancement projects in residential areas; for instance Nash Hall's provisions for directly connecting students to the Internet. . All of the funds from ACUS are directly used to benefit residential areas. The new contract with ACUS may result in budget cut for RESTEK. m^$%88^ 'The purpose of the program is to give the students lower rates ...If RESTEK funding goes down they'll have to get the money elsewhere.' Jerry Boles Vice Provost for Information and Telecommunications Services Free access to Internet combined with high long-distance rates has made its mark on the amount of time consumers spend talking on the phone versus conversing via e-mail. A better deal with ACUS may increase the number of users and amount of calls. "I think making this change is in the best direction for everybody," Willis said. "Calls may increase and revenues may not drop. It makes sense to keep you happy as an ACUS user." In the event that RESTEK funds diminish the RESTEK portion doesn't use about 35 percent of the revenues, Willis said. The service side of RESTEK would be OK for now but there would obviously be a need for another source of dollars. "The purpose of the program is to give the students lower rates," Boles said, "If RESTEK funding goes down they'll have to get the money elsewhere." Although there is no immediate concern for the RESTEK budget, the effects may only be seen in the long run. The Fairhaven residential area will undergo some upgrades this summer, having voice, data and cable all redone. Higginson, Highland and Birnam Wood are next on the list. Some funding for these projects does come out of commission money the university receives from AT T/ACUS commissions. r Do You Love Those Irresistible */parhlio lt;f Beaded Mp9 We Have All The Beads Supplies To Make Them!

But what exactly do they play? Many Western students couldn't tell you the first thing about the campus radio station, but Program Director Josh Sanchez said he hopes a new format will remedy the situation KUGS has long played independent music almost exclusively. The format appealed to a small and loyal audience that enjoys independent music, but the station plans to expand its audience by playing more popular bands. A general consensus among the core staff at the station — that their music just wasn't cutting it — spurred change. "If I don't like the music, something has to be wrong." Sanchez said. Many students said they feel the same, that the unfamiliar music is hard to listen to when they could just put in one of their favorite CDs instead. "Sometimes they have good music, but sometimes it's really bad," Erica Hirsche said. 'If I don't like the music, something has to be wrong.' Josh Sanchez KUGS Program Director Hirsche once tried to phone in a request for some dance music but was told the collection at the studio was limited to "hippie music." Some of her friends agreed, adding that one of the reasons they like the station is because it hardly ever plays commercials. But as she spoke, 89.3 was on the dial, playing a regularly-scheduled news and public affairs program. "This part we hate," Hirsche said From 6 to 8 p.m. KUGS plays no music, making way for non-mainstream news and opinion forums on topics ranging from politics to the environment to nuclear issues. At 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays is "The Women's Show," put on by two Western students. After 8 p.m. KUGS airs specialty shows in which D.J.s play blocks of jazz, blues, goth and punk, among other types of music. The format change, however, affects none of these scheduled programs. The change affects rotation D.J.s on-the air from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., can play during their two-hour shifts. Dance music, along with hip-hop, electronica, rock and metal will all get more air time after the format change, although the station will maintain an independent sound by playing music from new artists. "It will allow more free will on what we want to play instead of being limited to a certain disc or a certain song," KUGS D.J. Eric Holl said. In the past, the station has only played little-known bands like Modest Mouse, Damien Jurado and Death Cab for Cutie. Now music like Robb Zombie and Mobb Deep with maybe a little D.J. Crush, will be in the mix. Sanchez said KUGS decided to hold on to some of the independent rock because there is a lot of talent is in that scene. A select few, however, are unhappy with the change. Some DJs at the station had become attached to the indie reputation the station inadvertently took on and left because they believed the change was for the worse. "We've had some interesting discourse with our DJs;" Sanchez said, but then added that they were not hard-pressed to get new help from people that Jay Tarpinian/The Western Front KUGS DJ Eric Holl wades through the new music library in search of just the right song. were not only willing to play more mainstream music, but were excited about it. Holl said he's confident about the new play lists. "I think they're great — I think it's a little too soon to see the full effects of what we're gonna do, but I think the people in charge here are doing a very good job," he said. His only complaint is that with the new labeling system, a correlation of colored stickers and music genres, it is impossible to know if a song has already been played that day, creating a small risk of repeating music. As the size of the audience increases, more students will realize the value of a campus radio station. A student-run station such as KUGS is great for listening to campus events, and the station is always more open to playing requests than a larger station. "My theory is if we have it, we'll play it — it's that simple," Holl said. Most other stations have a whole day of music planned out, and are less open to requests. The DJs will be allowed to play more music from the station's extensive collection of CDs and records, the bulk of which is kept in a music library separate from the studio. With the Viking Union renovation underway, KUGS had to move the studio twice less than two months, and half the CDs usually stored in the studio are not there now. All of this just adds to the amount of work the station's staff must do to get this format change into operation. Although the format change is still underway and most people will not be aware of it for a couple of weeks, Sanchez said response from listeners has also been positive. Students will also be happy to hear that KUGS plans to be more active in the Western community. KUGS also will redesign its t-shirts. KUGS will promote its new look and format in the next couple of weeks. Station' volunteers will host an information booth and mail information to on-campus residences. Although the station won't be adding Britney Spears to the rotation, a pleasing variety of musical styles will entertain the Bellingham community. No radio station can please everyone, but hopefully fewer complaints will end up in the suggestion box. MILLER'S •yuj?

The Currin's are prepared to spend up to $1,000 to arrange their home in accordance to the principles of feng shui. "I believe that everything is energy," Margaret said. "It's like a candle flame or electricity. I follow this stuff because it makes sense to me. I've made very small changes in terms of decoration hinese art of place and f e l t better. believe the change I'm about to make with my house will seriously affect the way I feel when I'm home." The goal of feng shui — which means wind and water in Chinese — is to achieve balance between the forces of yin and yang, the two opposite-but- complementary forces of the universe, through the proper arrangement of the objects within and around the home. "The idea is to get the proper amount of energy, or chi, within your living space," said Diana Wright, assistant professor of Japanese history at Western. "To do this, you will have water, mirrors and crystals to balance and reflect the chi. You will pay attention to the season, your birth month, direction, colors, the shape of rooms, your natural surroundings and the placement of objects in and around your living space." The earliest recorded reference to feng shui comes from the Han dynasty (202 B.C.A.D. 220), when people buried emperors and placed temples according to cardinal direction and the landscape, Wright said. For example, a buried body would face west to greet the rising sun, a symbol of power and vitality that affects the spirit of the deceased. "It seems to work, at least on a psychological level," Wright said. "Think of feng shui as establishing a fine network of energy around you. If chi is blocked, bad things happen. You're unsuccessful. You fail." Many schools of feng shui use different methods to practice the ancient art. The oldest school, known as the Land Form School, dates back to the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-907). From its origin in the M jagged mountains of southern li China, the Form School uses hills, mountains, rivers and other !mmmmmmmm^«mm natural land for- siliSSiaminiSfci mations as a basis to evaluate About a century after the 7 believe evervt the quality of a energy — it's Tin location. flame or electric Mai Form School FenSl developed, students of feng , shui began using a compass and complex astronomical and astrological calculations to evaluate the feng shui of a site.

He sits with sun-: glasses perched upon his nose to protect his eyes from the uncommon sun shining over Bellingham, sipping on a cup of coffee. The same easygoing disposition is apparent in Brendan Reid's demeanor as he chats with passersby along Vendor's Row. Considering this, it is quite fitting that these two Western students and business partners have chosen to name their company Casual Industrees. Reid, 21, a junior at Fairhaven College, decided to carry out his idea for an environmentally conscious and uniquely artistic snowboarding clothing company by starting up Casual Industrees about a year ago: "(Casual is) trying to promote art, board sports, and the environment," said Reid, who has Jay Tarpinian/The Western Front Drew Steadham checks out a Casual hoodie at Alliance. designed his work with Casual Industrees as his major through Fairhaven College. "We try to portray a feeling, a lifestyle," said Bain, 21, a junior and industrial design major. "Work hard, but don't take things too serious ... live a little bit." Reid had the idea for a snow-boarding clothing company while riding the slopes himself. He said the products out on the market were not impressive; they weren't about the quality or the art. After moving out of his house last year, he collected the money from his damage deposit and invested it in starting Casual Industrees. Soon Reid and his friends were designing and silk-screening their own sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats and stickers. Bain and Reid rent a silk-screen shop from Jeff Kraus, a Western graduate who has sold sweatshirts on Vender's Row. Bain said they pay Kraus for the printing materials and buy the sweatshirts from him as well, but they print the clothing themselves. Time spent working in the shop on Casual's clothing varies, Bain said. Sometimes they can be in there for just an hour, or maybe 12. Whatever contribution to the company that's needed is usually a group effort, though. They rally their friends together to produce the clothing emblazoned with Casual's designs. "We're trying to create an artistic forum out of our clothing," Reid said. Reid said Casual's clothing is sold in several snowboard shops in the area, and they have sold at Vender's Row. Last summer the company sold its goods at various fairs and festivals, Bain said. Over spring break they took a road trip through Washington, Idaho and Montana and distributed catalogs of Casual's clothing to various stores. Casual also sent some catalogs to stores in Portland. Casual's designs range from a cluster of factories opposite a cluster of trees on either side of a Casual Industrees logo to a scenic mountain illustration. Customers like the sweatshirts with designs on the sleeves, said Kelsey Schoephoester, an employee at Mount Baker Snowboard Shop, which sells Casual's clothing. Schoephoester said he likes Casual because it has unique ideas and designs. "Other sweatshirts are kind of bland," Schoephoester said. The "tree" in Casual industrees is quite appropriate, given that Reid said he would like to use the company to promote the environment. "We would like to annex the power of business to work for the environment," Reid said. "It's a lot of fun, kind of in like the "A-Team" spirit." He said Casual has been giving out trees at the Naked Hemp Cafe on State Street. Buying one of their sweatshirts can get customers a free tree as well. These Western students have many hopes for Casual in the future. Bain said he would like to continue with the company after he graduates, if that opportunity is available to them. "This could happen," Bain said. "You've just got to go into it to find out." "We want to stay something that's local," Reid said. 'We try to portray a feeling, a lifestyle — work hard, but don't take things too serious.' Matt Bain Casual Industrees Co-owner Reid and Bain said they would like to start, designing their own snowboards for Casual, which would hopefully be out by next fall. Casual Industrees clothing is available at Alliance Skateboard Shop on North State Street, Mount Baker Snowboard Shop off the Mount Baker Highway, The Slant Snowboard Shop in Burlington and The Naked Hemp Cafe on State Street. Whatever happens with Casual, it's apparent these students are doing something they love. "Spending time with my friends doing something constructive," Bain said of what he really likes about Casual. That, and seeing people wearing the clothes that he helped to design and make. "That's the best part about it," he said. "I don't want to be rich, I just want to be happy." ---------- Western Front 2000 April 11 - Page 9 ---------- * April 11, 2000 Features The Western Front • 9 mt make home a ig an area that had few gt;r topographical features, fty years ago in Berkeley, f., Lin Yun saw a need to lt;^fehe practice more accessi-ind adaptable to the Western d.

He suggests the arrangement theory began with the Chu, an alien culture that originated in southern China in the mid-sixth century B.C. "Feng shui is linked to the fertility cult religion - it's based upon sex," he said. "For example, the holiest place to put a temple according to feng shui is right between two hills that jut up and then slide down. It's a recumbent woman in the receptive sexual position. It's one of those things like Carl Jung's psychology - there's probably something that amounts from it, but I wouldn't bet the family fortune on it." The popularity of feng shui in the United States has increased dramatically during the past 10 ce to be ? y e a r s , said Rosetta Sanz, a feng shui consultant in Bow. In Seattle alone, more than 100 feng shui practitioners have established businesses. " T h e y make millions each year," Wright said. "It's Asian. It's mystical. It's exotic. It's a culture vulture syndrome, where you see something in another culture you admire and steal it out of context and make money from it." Sanz, 51, became a master of the theory two years ago at the Seattle Institute for Feng Shui. She charges $50 per hour to visit a client's home or office and write up a report of her findings. Shaan- Tung Hsu, a feng shui master who lives in Seattle, charges $250 per hour. Rates aren't based on knowledge or practice, rather preference to pay, Sanz said. Sanz feels her way through a client's house using all five senses. By rubbing her hand across a wall, for example, she can detect trauma or trapped chi. "It's like good vibes and bad vibes," she said. "I offer suggestions about how to rearrange furniture and reconstruct rooms. If a house is dark, there is little chi flowing through. Energy is light. Clutter is bad. Open space allows room for the chi to roam." Sanz is moving to New Mexico this summer to build an integrative health resort. She has Western students go mental at Smith Rock By Grant Brissey f THE WESTERN FRONT Nearly three weeks after his first rock-climbing trip, Western senior Colm Nelson is hooked. "There's just certain things you think you can't do," Nelson said. "Then when you do them, iH pretty amazing." Nelson took a trip to Oregon's Smith Rock on spring break. Many consider Smith Rock to be one of the top climbing areas in the Northwest. Nelson plans to go back as soon as he gets the Smmce. "Climbing at Smith was one hell of an experience — I felt satisfied every night," Nelson said. Nelson said people climb for many different reasons — the rfHi, the challenge, the chance to get outdoors, or simply to stay in shape. Nelson said he enjoys the mental aspects of the sport. "There is a different mindset in climbers," Nelson said. "One t$*t I have experienced in few other sports." Tyree Johnson, a second-year student at Whatcom Community College, also enjoys the mental challenge of climb-in nson said he climbs because it helps him clear his mind. Johnson has been climbing since he was 15. "I can forget about all the problems in my life — I let them lide away," he said. "Everything seems to make sense up there." Tim Schultz has been climbing for about 11 years. He said he climbs because, among other reasons, he loves the feeling of fluid movement across the rock he climbs. Schultz began to smile as he took a few minutes off from his job at Base Camp to talk about climbing. Schultz's favorite kind of climbing is bouldering. When bouldering, a climber commits to a series of often very difficult moves without climbing up too high on the rock. Bouldering is performed without any protective equipment. "It's more pure," said Schultz. "You just have your rock shoes and your chalk bag." Normally, climbers use a rope, which is attached to the rock at. crucial points throughout the route. One end of the rope is tied to the climber, and the other end is held down by their belayer, who feeds out slack in the rope as the climber gets higher. The rope can be attached to the rock by bolts previously drilled into the rock, or by natural protection like camming devices and small metal blocks inserted into cracks and other features in the rock. "Total faith in the equipment is not an easy thing to accept — that was the kicker for me," Nelson said. ! Multi-pitch climbing is another type of climbing that involves Grant Brissey/The Western Front Colm Nelson and Tyree Johnson enjoying the mental challenge of climbing Smith Rock. more gear and technical expertise. In multi-pitch climbing, one climber generally leads the first pitch, or rope length, and is in turn followed by his partner, who leads the next route. The partners usually alternate leading pitches until the climb is finished. Though Schultz enjoys bouldering regularly, he felt that his most satisfying climbing experience was a 13-pitch climb named "Angel's Crest" in Squamish, British Columbia. "It's an experience that sticks out in my mind because we spent all day climbing it," Schultz said. "Two thousand feet of vertical rock was a pretty big accomplishment for me." Climbing has many positive aspects, but as any climber will tell you, it's not for the fainthearted. "Climbing is for people who dig taking on intimidating challenges," Nelson said. ---------- Western Front 2000 April 11 - Page 10 ---------- 10 • The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Intramural April 11, 2000 Spring practice breeds intrasquad competition New football season means starting spots up for grabs By Evan Parker THE WESTERN FRONT Fresh off an appearance at the NCAA Division II National Playoffs, Western's football team took the field for spring practice Thursday. Thirteen starters returned to Western from last fall's Columbia Football Association league championship team, leaving Head Coach Rob Smith with many personnel questions. "This is a time for us to answer all the questions, including replacing any seniors," Smith said. "There are a lot of positions up for grabs." A rule change in the CFA will allow Western to practice in full pads in 10 of 15 spring practice dates. This gives coach Smith and his assistant coaches a chance to see his players in game-like conditions well before their first game. "The game is played with your pads on," Smith said. "Well be able to determine who is ready to step into available starting roles." The success Western enjoyed last fall coupled with the question marks at many positions, has added more competition to this spring's practices.. Smith said he expects more from his players and his competition. "The bar has been raised," Smith said. "This is a very important time." Having been cooped up in the gym lifting weights and conditioning, players are anxious to showcase their talents to the coaching staff. "Everyone out here is trying to ensure a starting spot," junior defensive tackle Steve Bernardy said. "There is a lot of competition for those spots." Along with trying to catch the eyes of coaches, players will use spring practices to get aquainated with the schemes and game plans used during the season. "I'm trying to get comfortable with the offense," senior running back Giorgio Usai said. Aside from competition for starting spots and memorizing plays, players and coaches are excited to be outside playing football. "It feels good to be back with the guys," Usai said. "It's great to be out of the gym and to be able to put on the helmet," Bernardy said. "No one becomes a coach to sit in an office," Smith said. "Fun for us is to be out on the field." Western football practices through April 29, meeting on M o n d a y s , W e d n e s d a y s , Thursdays and Saturdays at the turf field on campus. The regular season opens Sept. 2 at Portland State University. Softball team batters Chieftans By Jessica Keller THE WESTERN FRONT Western's women's softball team beat Seattle University 5-1 and 7-0 in a PacWest fastpitch softball doubleheader Saturday at the Viking Softball Complex. The wins improved the vikings' record to 22-8 overall and 9-3 in league play. In the first game, Western scored all its runs early. Sonya Joseph scored first on a sacrifice fly by Jamie Plancich in the first inning. In the second inning Danielle Puz hit a double that brought in two runners. Coni Posey hit a double that scored Andie Greenen, and Carlena Herd hit a single scoring Posey, both in the third inning. "I think we did really well today," Puz said. "We've been playing a lot of games lately and we didn't go out there and show our fatigue. We just went out there and did what we needed to do." Greenen said she attributes a lot of the first game's success with the pitcher. She said while the defense played well they didn't have to play much because Amanda Grant pitched so well. Grant allowed just four hits, one unearned run, struck out eight players and walked two in the first game. Seattle's only run came in the fourth inning when Western errored on an infield hit. Greenen also said she thought the offense operated well which definitely contributed to their success. "That's exactly how an offense should operate, what we did today," Greenen said. In the second game pitcher Nancy Mills increased her school-record winning streak to. seven games as she threw a three-hit shutout. AH of Seattle's hits were singles. Mills also struck out eight and walked three. Western scored its seven runs in the first two innings, scoring four in the first inning and three in the second. In the first inning, Bethany Hoeschen scored two runs, Joseph and Stacia Varney, when she hit a single to right field. Hoeschen advanced to second base and Greenen scored on a fielding error made by the first baseman. Hoeschen scored when Herd hit a sacrifice fly to center-fieild. In the second inning, Joseph scored when Varney singled to left field. Varney advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Greenen and then scored when Hoeschen hit a triple. Hoeschen scored when Hadley Jensen singled. Hoeschen said she thought the team played solidly and she was improving greatly this season. "I think the whole team was really solid because we didn't let any runs score," Hoeschen said. Art Phinney said his team played extremely well and while the competition didn't appear to be tough, his team had a great deal to do with that because both of his pitchers pitched will and were in control of their games. "I think it speaks well for our team today that we didn't make them look that tough," Phinney said. Evan Parker/The Western Front Quarterback R J .

"May these boats be fast and safe on these and all waters," Director of Athletics Lynda Goodrich said as water streamed over the shells. The new men's varsity-eight shell was named after Haskell who, with wife Betty, started Western's crew program in 1969 and has continued to be involved. Recently, Haskell devoted two scholarship awards for crew athletes and made a contribution for the construction of the new boathouse at the Lakewood facility. "My wife and I are really honored," Haskell said. "If you enjoy rowing as much as I did quite a few years ago, you'll find it's one of the greatest sports — one of the most competitive sports. They are the most wonderful people you're rowing with and if they teach you one thing, it's to be working with each other." Diehl began coaching the Vikings in 1971, winning the LaFromboise Cup that year and every year through 1975. The coach instructed future Olympic-level rowers including Chuck Rutherford, Bill Byrd and Darrell Vreugdenhil. "Under Bob's mentoring, the Western crew program flourished," Goodrich said. "He established a winning tradition that continues to this day." The new women's varsity-eight shell was named after Diehl. "This really means a lot to me," Diehl said. "My family and I Craig Yantis/The Western Front Crew members race in one of the two new shells on Lake Whatcom Saturday. Craig Yantis/The Western Front Varsity crew members carry the new women's Varsity-Eight Shell to the dock at Lakewood for the first time. are just so honored by this. My family and the Haskells have known each other for years and years and I am super-honored to be on the same platform as Red. He has given a lot to this program." "I see on the very top rack in (the boathouse) the (boat) Bellingham. The poor Bellingham. I remember when we bought that boat," Diehl said. "That was called the cedar-speedster. There was not a boat faster than that.

In their first race the two boats were neck-and-neck until one rower in the Red Haskell caught a crab and could not get back into position. A crab in rowing terms means the oar is caught in the water and it sprays water up into the boat and on the rowers. The team in the Bob Diehl rowed on to victory. "The new boats are much faster and lighter," senior coxswain Erin Madden said. "They make a big difference. They set-up really well." "These boats will even the playing field more with other schools," assistant men's coach David Friederick said. "After two years the boats get flexible." Western was the first school to put women coxswain in boats. One of these pioneering women, Judy Morton-Wege, attended Saturday's ceremony. "Here I was with one other girl and 30 or 40 guys," Morton-Wege said. "It was a lot of fun. I would get up at 4:30 in the morning and get in the boat." Morton-Wege said times have changed for coxswain who now use microphone systems to give commands in the boats. "We used to have to use megaphones and yell at the guys," she said. Also during the event, a formal dedication for the Lakewood property was performed with the unveiling of a plaque by Al Froderberg, vice president for external affairs. The purchase of the Lakewood addition provides the opportunity to further serve Western students, staff and alumni and helps preserve lakefront property, Froderberg said. The property was purchased for $500,000 in March, 1997. Vikings crush Saint Martin's, fall short against Simon Fraser By Evan Parker THE WESTERN FRONT After winning two games against PacWest foe Saint Martin's College Wednesday, Western's fastpitch softball team lost two close games to defending NAIA national champions Simon Fraser University on Friday. Western got complete game pitching performances from sophomore Hope Truitt and freshman Kristen Kiekenapp in their 3-1 and 6-0 victories over Saint Martin's College. Truitt had a streak of 27 scoreless innings snapped en route to her sixth victory of the year. Kiekenapp's shutout was her third win in as many decisions. Leading the charge for Western's offense was Sonja Joseph, who set the tempo early in game one with a double in the first inning. She would later score on a squeeze bunt by senior Andie Greenen. Freshman Hadley Jensen and sophomore Carlena Herd delivered: both knocked in runs in the second game. Simon Fraser University issued Western its first back-to-back losses of the season by beating the Vikings 3-1 and 10-9 in 10 innings. After losing the first game, Western rallied from a six-run deficit to take the lead in the sixth inning of the second game. Simon Fraser tied the score at eight in the bottom of the sixth, eventually sending the game into extra innings. In the 10th inning, Western pushed a run across to take a temporary lead. Simon Fraser scored on a sacrifice fly to tie, then scored the winning run on a wild pitch. Truitt was given the loss in game one, ending a four-game winning streak. Kiekenapp got the loss in relief of starting freshman starting pitcher Amanda Grant.

Vikings run away with relays By Levi Pulkkinen THE WESTERN FRONT Western's track and field team-dominated the Northwest Relays in Edmonds walking away with wins in nine individual events and four relays. The meet, hosted by the Seattle-based running organization Club Northwest, was Saturday at Edmonds Stadium. High Jumper Nathan Lindeman excelled, winning his event for the fourth time in the last five meets. He set a school record of 6-113/4 last week, jumping 6-8 3/4 at Saturday's meet. "Fm really close to automatically qualifying for nationals," Lindeman said, about his record setting jump which missed the automatic qualifying height of 7-1. Western's field athletes won five other events, winning performances on the men's side by discus thrower Tony Kyle and shot putter Ian McDole. The winning women were Danielle Juarez in the pole vault, Becky Lewis in the javelin and Megan Wright in the discus. Western's women won four relays with Jen Leita, Laura Ellingson, Sara Hiss and Megan Clancy setting a school record of 4:19.74 in the middle-distance medley. The Northwest Relays meet will be the only time this year Western's runners will compete in the event. "It was really fun," said Jen Leita, about the middle-distance medley, an unusual race which involves two 200-meter legs, followed by 400-meter and 800- meter legs. The women's 4x400 relay team of Leita, Ellingson, Clancy and Meredith Gomes ran its best time of the season, at 4:03.01. The women also won the distance medley relay at 13:30.27 and the 4x100 relay at 52.48. "The team is looking pretty nice," Leita said. "We are finally starting to cut down our times." The Vikings' star, senior Devin Kemper, won the mile at 4:15.60 and missed breaking his own school record by only four seconds. Ryan Leavengood won the 200- meter, setting a personal best of 22.52 and Sarah Hiss won the women's 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.50. Western's Zach Boteilho finished first in the steeplechase, though he was beaten by Central Washington's Curt Stephan. Though the meet was full of outstanding performances, some felt it lacked competition. "It was a no-pressure week for us, but it was good to see our athletes compete so well," said Western's coach Pee Wee Halsell. Many winning athletes agreed with Halsell's statement that Western faced no real competition. Leita said there was no competition because most of the other schools competing did not send their whole team to the meet. Most participants, however, enjoyed the meet because of the relaxed attitude and the good weather. "It was a different kind of meet than usual," Lindeman said. "It was small, kind of laid back."

'Wow factor' high at Mount Baker Skiers catch air at dual mogul, big air and halfpipe contest By Jay Tarpinian The Western Front Tyler Forman said he thinks he made a good choice. The 22-year-old skier from White Pass, Wash, contemplated attending an Oregon competition last weekend, but opted for Mount Baker's Air Bears Freestyle Ski Club big-air jump and half-pipe contests Sunday. Forman walked away two pairs of skis richer as the grand-prize winner in both categories. The Air Bears club awarded more than $7,000 of prizes for the top three scorers in youth, women's and mens divisions. "This contest is awesome," Forman said. "Other ski competitions' rules can be very strict, but Baker's pretty relaxed. "It's great to see the tiew-school ski maneuvers getting more exposure," he said. "This is definately one of the funnest competitions to do." Forman took fourth place in the big air event last year, the first year the Air Bears added the event to the 15th-annual dual moguls competition. He said the contests drew stiffer competition this year, especially with the addition of a few precocious youths from British Columbia. The Air Bears introduced the half-pipe event in this year's competition, which drew skiers from as far away as White Pass, Wash., and Apex and Whistler- Blackcomb in British Columbia. The contests' five judges rated skiers' performance on standards including height of jump, degree of difficulty of the tricks, form and landing, and the "wow factor," or how visually impressive the tricks were. Evan Wilcox proved himself the archetype of the "wow factor." After a solid performance in the half pipe, the youth from British Columbia hurtled himself through the sky above the big air's kicker and spun into a ridiculous misty-flip-heli combination that looked like a 3060- degree rotation. Wilcox landed the jump and finished first in the under-16 category.

Software programs make it easy for employers to access their employees' computer files, making every click of the mouse and tap of the keyboard open for scrutiny. Those who spend time at work playing solitaire, surfing the Internet or sending e-mails may want to rethink these activities. Big Brother could be watching and he might not like what he sees. Richard Eaton developed Investigator, a software program that lets an employer track every computer move an employee makes. Employers argue that because the computer belongs to the company, they have the right to view anything on it. This may be true, but it is an abuse of power and waste of time to track an employee's every move. Employees have little privacy rights and no federal laws specifically addressing the issue of computer privacy in the workplace. It may be necessary for employers to access e-mails and phone calls relating to business, but an employee's personal conversations should not be an employer's entertainment. No guarantee with the software says management will use it appropriately. It is reasonable to expect employers to target questionable files, but it is unreasonable to let them rummage through employees' personal business. E-mail is especially unprotected. It is like sending a postcard — anyone can read it. The Washington State Privacy Act doesn't protect e-mails sent from home or the workplace. Trust no longer seems to exist in the office. Working for someone else shouldn't involve losing rights. It should involve building a trusting relationship between a boss and employees. Monitoring employees' every move is like waiting for an employee to make a mistake. Employees shouldn't have to work under their employer's constant surveillance. When bosses want to check on an employee, they should keep their business work related and leave personal files alone. It is not unreasonable for employees to expect this courtesy from their employers because it is exactly what employers are asking of their employees. Melissa Child COMMENTARY According to the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech ... or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The fact is, students who file suit opposing mandatory service and activity fees are given the same right to bare their opinions to the public and the courts just as the student organizations they oppose have the right to express opinions on campus. Is it possible the plaintiffs do not realize their own forum for free speech relies upon the free speech of others? Supporting student groups only enhances the student's ability to assemble groups with dissenting voices, even if it means finding financial support themselves. Three University of Wisconsin former law students sued the university in 1996, objecting to the use of student fees to finance campus groups they disagree with on ideological, political or religious grounds. After a federal judge ruled in their favor and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld t h e decision, the Board of Regents in October asked the Supreme Court to hear the case. The Supreme court ruled March 22 that university service and activity fees do not violate an individual's free speech. The university, student government leaders and the Supreme Court maintain that fee-supported groups are a necessary and vital part of the educational experience, and student fees are constitutional because they support a forum for free speech. ' All University of Wisconsin Madison students are required to pay segregated fees each semester, otherwise they will not receive their grades or grad- 75 it possible the plaintiffs do not realize their own forum for free speech relies upon the free speech of others?' uate. Of the entire fee, which was $331.50 per person in 1995- 96 and is now $445 per person, only a small portion (about $13 in 1995-96) funds the student groups. Western prides itself on being a university with diverse people and ideas. By setting a mandatory service and activity fee for Western students, this tradition of diversity is upheld and we can be proud of a broadened student body. The law students claim it is not about the money spent, but the principle of where the money is being spent that is important.

System President Katharine Lyall defended the student fee system. She stressed it is similar to citizens paying taxes to the federal government. "The fees support the diversity of ideas of campuses," she said. In simpler terms, we do not stop paying taxes when we disagree with a government service or program. Even if a small portion of money allocated to student groups was abolished, those groups would most likely survive anyway on group member fees and fund-raisers and our law student's perfect world would be shattered by different views. Although this argument can be turned around, claiming the same turnout for student groups, the idea is still that University of Wisconsin supports student groups as part of the educational experience. University of Wisconsin promotes all viewpoints and ideologies by the principle of viewpoint neutrality. The university does not consider funding groups by investigating their content. Concerning the educational experience, one will find that opposition to funding student groups is minor to what someone might disagree within the classroom. Students pay much more for the classroom experience, and a professor's view is harder to avoid than a student group. But do not even try to revoke tuition. A summary of the Supreme Court legal brief said, "Respondents do not, as a matter of constitutional mandate, enjoy the right to avoid paying for the provision of student services and the creation of a forum for robust campus debate and dialogue, any more than they enjoy the right not to pay tuition that results in courses being taught with whose content they disapprove." Maybe the plaintiffs should have assembled their own student group protesting their opposing student group's content. « At least they would have had the satisfaction knowing their opposing groups were financially supporting them, too.

The fallout from the June 10 explosion in Whatcom Creek that killed three, and other recent similar accidents, continues to raise blisters from deep beneath the hides of proponents of increased federal regulation for pipelines. But for all the talk and coverage surrounding this newest of national land-use issues, there is hardly a mention of the underlying problem — the alarming rate at which the United States consumes energy. Speakers at the gathering, tagged by its organizers as the first National Pipeline Safety Reform Conference, recounted horror stories, drawing tears from the crowd. Former Whatcom County Health Examiner Frank James was among the orators. James recalled Wade King, Stephen Tsiorvas and Liam Wood, the Bellingham youths who perished last summer, with a slide show. He then turned and fired a verbal rocket directly at the big industries who control pipelines, calling for strict federal intervention. "It's OK if corporations die; it doesn't bother me," James was quoted in The Bellingham Herald. "It may harm some people's financial interests, but if they're irresponsible enough to deserve it, I think that should happen." The emotional pleas of James and others at the conference ring of truth, but the message is aimed in the wrong direction. Their meeting produced piles of threatening statistics: 46 percent of the nation's pipelines are more than 30 years old; since 1991, pipelines have been 37 times more likely to spill than tankers; 40 percent of pipeline leaks from 1968 to 1999 were caused by structural problems. But the most telling numbers were hardly reflected by either the conference's members or the media — about a million gallons of fuel is consumed every two minutes in the United States. If the companies controlling fuel pipelines are choked to death by stifling governmental regulation, where will that fuel go? How will it be transported to homes with 70-degree indoor temperatures and a week's worth of hot water? Perhaps we should have the stuff shipped in on elephants wearing padded suits; slow-moving, armored and above ground, where we can watch them carefully, prepared to sprint in the opposite direction if they spring a leak. We can mourn victims and shout at big business for days on end, and complain about the financial clout of the monstrous fuel corporations we have created. But all this is just a temporary fix. Nothing will deal a blow to the fuel industry more soundly than a concerted and sincere movement of activists toward an agenda calling for energy sources that aren't flammable, toxic and don't need to be pumped, flown or floated across the globe on a gargantuan scale.

J _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , . •" l - - ' ^ " Miami family has no right to hold Elian hostage in U.S Hillary Smith COMMENTARY Elian Gonzalez, the 6-year-old Cuban refugee found clinging to an innertube Nov. 25 off the Florida coast, has been kidnapped by his American relatives and should be immediately returned to his father in Cuba. The grief-stricken child has been exploited as a political pawn for the past four months. Gonzalez's mother and stepfather, along with nine others, were killed when their boat capsized on its journey to the United States. Gonzalez was one of three survivors. Anti-Castro sentiment has pervaded the situation and overpowered the basic rationale that Gonzalez should be reunited with his father during this emotionally taxing time. The arrival of Gonzalez's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, to the United States has prompted Miami family attorneys to stop at nothing to keep the child in the United States. In a statement made to CNN, Miami family attorney Kendall Coffey said that Elian Gonzalez has been "verbally and physically abused" ®*^^^«^K^wPi|||pi|Sp 'Yes, in an ideal world, a defenseless child would not have to sacrifice his freedom to be with his father.' by his father and all visits should be regulated "under appropriately, psychologically-sound safeguards." This is a curious line of attack, if you take into account the family has made no claims of child abuse prior to the approval of Juan Gonzalez's visa into the United States. Until now, the family has remained steadfast in its statements that Elian would be returned to his father immediately if the elder Gonzalez came to the United States Juan Gonzalez, in the words of his United States lawyer, "is ready at a moment's notice to be reunited with his son. He needs only to be told that when he comes here, he will be given custody of his son." Proponents of keeping Elian Gonzalez in the United States have compared returning him to Cuba with returning a Jewish child to Nazi Germany. This is absolutely ludicrous. A Jewish child in Nazi Germany would face certain death — Elian Gonzalez faces the loving arms of his father, grandmothers and a classroom that keeps his seat See ELIAN, page 15 Prescription for depression: seek help, not medication Lisa Curdy CURD'S WAY To take or not to take: It's a . personal choice. After being diagnosed with necrotizing faciitis — the flesh-eating virus — three years ago, my dad was given hours to live. On that cold February day, my sister, mom and I drove to Harborview Hospital's Burn Intensive Care Unit to say goodbye. I became depressed but opted for counseling instead of antidepressant drugs and am amazed more people don't do the same. In instances when people are depressed but aren't in danger of hurting themselves or others, I believe counseling can be more effective than anti- depressants, because counseling treats the problem instead of curbing the feeling of depression. But the most popular treatment at Western may be antidepressants. In the adult population and at Western, clinical depression affects one out of 10 people, said JDr. Emily Gibson, director of the Student Health Center. In college, however, depression is 'Taking anti-depressants for feelings of depression treats just that — the feeling — rather than the cause.' compounded by the stress of midterms, finals and assignments, she added. The SHC treats 450 students for various psychiatric diagnoses. Seventy-five percent — 338 out of 450 - of those students were prescribed antidepressants by the SHC, said Gibson. This number doesn't appear large unless compared to the number of students diagnosed with clinical depression at Western's Counseling Center — 150. At the Counseling Center, only 150 out of the 1,000 students in the last year who sought treatment were diagnosed with clinical depression. Sixty percent, however, reported themselves as feeling depressed or sad, said Eric Denson, interim director of the Counseling Center. The comparison of these numbers — 338 to 150 — shows the SHC prescribes anti-depressants at more than two times the incidence of a clinical depression diagnoses at the Counseling Center.

Both states require handguns to be regulated like any consumer product. Maryland requires all pistols be equipped with external trigger locks. The state also has ended the sale of handguns until 2003, when these weapons must, by law, contain built-in locking devices. Massachusetts also requires trigger locks, but has made tamper- proof serial numbers and safety warnings mandatory. In both states, the most controversial portion of these new laws bans the sale of "Saturday night specials." This is a nebulous, unofficial term, used by gun-control advocates to describe any sort of cheap, poorly- constructed handgun. The Massachusetts and Maryland laws regulating handguns like any other product have been needed for a long while. Any bottle of prescription drugs or Tylenol sold comes with a childproof cap. This is supposed to make potentially dangerous drugs less accessible to children. Yet, until now, firearms were not regulated in the same way. Avery young child may find it impossible to break into mother's Zoloft in the medicine cabinet, yet the same child could easily pick up a pistol and pop his or her head like a ripe melon dropped from a roof. "Get your paws off my guns, you damn dirty apes!" This has been the response from the National Rifle Association and other friendly neighborhood gun-rights activists. No one challenges the legitimacy of protective caps on bottles of Buffrin, yet the concept of protective locks on something as dangerous as a loaded pistol disgusts and infuriates the NRA and gun-rights supporters. The only questionable part of these new regulations is 'No one challenges the legitmacy of protective caps on bottles ofBufferin, yet the concept of locks on guns disgusts and infuriates the NRA and gun-rights supporters.' Maryland's ban on handgun sales until 2003 and the ban on the "Saturday night special." Ending the sale of this constitutionally- protected product for any length of time could be challenged as unconstitutional. Knowing the length of time it takes anything to be resolved in America's tangled legal system, however, a decision to reinstate handgun sales would probably not come until well after the sun has gone nova and engulfed the Bellingham Cooperative School jk ° ' ...a country school in the city earth, rendering the issue moot. In any case, making handguns unavailable for several years may inconvenience some new purchasers, but it will not seriously threaten gun freedoms. The only area where gun-rights advocates have legitimate cause for complaint is on the issue of "Saturday night specials." This is not a label given to any type of firearm by its maker. It is merely a designation applied to cheap handguns by gun-control supporters. The NRA and others feel a law banning "Saturday night specials" could seriously threaten all handgun sales. Perhaps they are right. The term applies to "cheap" handguns. Who is to say what is cheap? Well, cheap means "available to the common citizen." Who is the common citizen? This unofficial t6rm ought to be left out of all legislation. It is one that can be applied to any handgun a gun-control proponent wants to get rid of. Anyone can see this situation would result in numerous, costly and thoroughly unnecessary court cases. In addition, as the right to own firearms is one guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, firearms should be available to anyone who wants them. Unfortunately, cheap weapons are a target for criminals. Until there is a better way to regulate this lamentable reality, government should not make handguns unavailable to poor citizens. Massachusetts and Maryland ought to be congratulated for regulating a dangerous product just like any other. But this confusing and arbitrary labeling of some weapons as "Saturday night specials" will only cause more problems than the label is meant to solve.

U.S. immigration authorities ruled on Jan. 5 that Elian Gonzalez's father has legal custody of the boy. Yes, in an ideal world, a defenseless child would not have to sacrifice his freedom to be with his father. Regardless, Cuba is where his father is and the child belongs with his father. The U.S. family has provided Elian Gonzalez with countless material items and claim he has become accustomed to a more lavish lifestyle — that it would be cruel and psychologically damaging to remove him from these materialistic surroundings. What about the irreparable damage growing up without a father will incur? A trip to Disney World and a pony cannot replace Elian Gonzalez's father, contrary to the main argument being put forward in Miami. Americans have come to view fatherhood as a disposable, tern-: porary and all too often, replaceable, position. The Cuban community in Miami has no right to say Elian Gonzalez is better off with his Miami relatives than with his own father. Elian Gonzalez is a boy, not a prize in an international tug-of-war. The child has an intrinsic right to be with his father. Cuba is where he belongs. Stresses of college life contribute to high depression, medication rates From LISA, page 14 Why is this? The SHC and the Counseling Center use the same criteria to evaluate clinical depression. Found in the American Psychiatric Association's handbook "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV," the criteria of clinical depression includes decreased concentration, a lack of sense of the future and a thinking increasingly about death and dying. But the answer may he in the cost of counseling versus antidepressants. The average cost for a month of anti-depressants is $60 to $70. This is anywhere from $20 to $40 less than just one session of counseling. On top of this, insurance usually covers medication only — personal counseling coverage is a rarity. I think the 60 percent of Counseling Center patients who evaluated themselves as feeling depressed or sad don't want to put in the time, energy and money into personal counseling. Instead, they're going to the SHC and receiving anti-depressants. Counseling is recommended by the SHC when students are prescribed anti-depressants, but isn't mandatory, Gibson said. Taking anti- depressants for feelings of depression treats just that — the feeling — rather than the cause. "Medication ices over the wound," Gibson said, referring to the 85 percent of people taking anti- depressants who begin to feel emotionally better but discontinue or don't go to counseling to treat the cause of depression. And I agree. Believe me, I know counseling can bring up life's most painful events for the patient to deal with again and again until the lesson — whatever it was, from anger management to anxiety - control — was learned. Only in personal counseling can people find why they may feel the way they do. Fve chosen not to take antidepressants — and yes, the option has been given to me — because it makes me feel good knowing I've dealt with and sometimes conquered my feelings of depression, anxiety and worry. I like to feel in control of my mind and my body and I don't want a drug doing that for me. Taking anti-depressants may be necessary in life-threatening situations, Gibson said. But in my experience — and I'm a journalist, not a doctor — they aren't needed to treat the blahs we all experience. Getting a prescription for anti-depressants may be easy, and solving depression's cause may be painful, but only one will work for the rest of your life.

National accreditation, which is given by the AmericanAssociation of Collegiate Schools of Business, assures that certain minimum standards of quality are enforced, Murphy said. This a s s u r e s p o t e n t i al employers that graduates have metaccreditation standards. Murphy said some employers will not hire students graduating from schoolsthat are not nationally ac-creditated. Murphy said national accreditation lures high-quality faculty.Also grant programs need national accreditation. The program currently has regional accreditation. Forthe last three years the college of business and economics has been readying itself for theaccreditation process. One-third of the faculty has been recruited, curricular changes have been made and admissions has been restricted, Murphy said. The next stage in the accreditation process wasfor President Ross and Dean Murphy to request for accreditation. This has been done and now it isjust a matter of waiting, Murphy said. A four-person team from American association will conduct an on-site visitation in the fall of 1988 to talk to students and faculty members in the department, and toinspect student transcripts, Murphy said. The final step in accreditation is attendance of a nationalmeeting of business school leaders. The one Murphy will be attending will be in the spring of 1989 inMontreal, Canada. Western will find out at this meeting if it has been chosen for accreditation. Studentsoppose ban on kegs By DOUGLAS BUELL staff reporter The wording in Western's proposed alcoholpolicy is vague, and a clause banning kegs on campus is unfair, said students opposing the policy at an open forum Oct. 20. "I feel that if people are 21 and capable by law to drink, just because they're oncampus, you shouldn't be able to say they can't have a keg of beer," senior Tom Shore told AlcoholAbuse Task Force members during the forum. The policy suggests a total ban of "kegs, pony kegs, orother large containers of alcohol ... in any university facility for any reason, in order to restrict the sale ofalcohol." Western's no-alcohol policy, a campus supplement to Washington state laws that set thedrinking age at 21 and determine where alcohol may be consumed, are incorporated into 14recommendations submitted to President G. Robert Ross by the committee. DAN TYLER A Garden• waits for a by Fairhaven Junior Derek Dujardin, who also criticized the ban on kegs, said, "I'm not in favor of limiting someone's ability to throw a keg on campus." He agrees, however, withrecommendations providing for alcohol abuse prevention education and training programs. These would include organizing a Peer Helper program; establishing a BAACUS chapter at Western, a groupwhich presents informative films and bartends non-alcoholic mocktail-style parties; initiating a variety ofin-service training programs for faculty, staff and advisers and setting up a Drug-Alcohol InformationCenter. Task force member David Miller, a senior who has spent nearly two years on the committeedrafting recommendations as part of a 13-member coalition of administrators, staff and students, saidhe is sympathetic to concerns of the dozen students attending Tuesday's forum. Please see KEG, p. 16 Residence popularity causes housing crunch By LAURA GORDON staff reporter Western's popularityis causing a campus housing crunch. "We try to accommodate as many students as we can.Unfortunately, there's too little room and too many students who want to live in campus housing," said Ron Travenick, assistant director for Residence Life. Fairhaven stack one currently is home to 14students who applied for campus housing in spring quarter after May 15. The stack was full at thebeginning of fall quarter, but spaces in other residence halls became available and students with earlierhousing admission dates filled the vacancies. The 14 remaining students now have the option of fillingfuture vacancies as they occur, or staying where they are until the end of the quarter. "We don't liketo make students move after the third week of the quarter," Travenick said. "Mid-terms are coming upand we don't want to disrupt any student's academic experience." Travenick said there are as manyresidents as there are reasons for the popularity of campus housing. "Student activities, goodfacilities and staff, convenience — they're all just part of the reason students want to live here," he said. Students in residence halls may choose to sign housing agreements for the quarter or for theacademic year. In the past, students who broke their academic contracts were charged a fee of up to$150. Travenick said that fee will be reduced. Travenick said he expects the Housing and DiningCommittee to discuss building a new residence hall or expanding an existing hall. The additionalspace would be available in two years at the earliest, he said. The ultimate decision lies with the Boardoi Trustees. Birnam Wood and Buchanan Towers apartments are not filled to capacity becauseindividual residents have the choice of hov many roommates they want. Twt bedroom apartments thatcoul lt; hold four students often an shared by two students. The build ings have a maximum capacity o922, but only 649 live there now. Travenick said administrator: eventually could set a minimun capacityfor each apartment. Travenick said approximate!) 200 students already have appliec for winter quarterhousing. "It's a good problem to have. I just wish we had room for all oi them," he said. Westernemployees contribute to fall charity campaign By VICKI STEVENS staff reporter Western employeeshave adopted the theme "to share is to care " for the 1987 Washington state employees combined funddrive. Staff, faculty and administrators are offering portions of their paychecks to benefit charities, saidDouglas Venn, community resource coordinator at the Department of Social and Health Services. Thecharities may benefit a wide variety of people, including foreigners, Venn said. This year's drive beganSept. 15 and continues until Saturday. Employees across the state receive a brochure listing thecharities they may give to. Listed in the brochure are more than 800 charities. The charities must meetspecific requirements to receive these monies. Qualifying for tax exemption is the main requirement.Western donated a lot of money in the first three fundraisers, Venn said. In 1985, 321 Westernparticipants gave $26,108. The 1986 figures were $23,887 with 216 donors. Participants have a choice ofmethods for donations, Venn said. They may volunteer to have a monthly donation deducted from theirpaychecks or make a one-time payroll deduction donation. Another option is to make a directcontribution to the charity. Alternatives to Hunger, Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood, American CancerSociety and Parents Anonymous are just a few of more than 90 charities in Whatcom County listed aspossible beneficiaries of the money collected from this drive. Michael Shey, a Western personnelofficer involved with the drive, said "a good percentage (of the money collected) goes to United Way."Western donors ranked third in the category of four-year universities in Wash ington last year in terms ofdollars given Venn said. The Evergreen State College's pe capita donation was $28, the University oWashington gave $24 per capita and West ern contributed $18 per capita, Venn said. Shey said heexpects $32,000 fron Western participants this year. Washington is one of the first wester states toinitiate an annual campaign fo money and give employees a choice o charities. More than $2.5 millionwas donated f the first two years of the program. ---------- Western Front - 1987 October 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27,1987 Haitian editors observe U.S. free press By MARYDARLING staff reporter A delegation of seven editors from the Haitian media left Bellingham with a better understanding of America's free press. The Haitian editors ended their 24-day tour of U.S. newspapers,radio and TV stations in Bellingham last week. They were honored at a reception at the BergsmaGallery, 1344 King St., Oct. 21. They were hailed as the first Haitian editors to visit Bellingham andthe Pacific Northwest. The informal gathering allowed interested people to speak with the Haitians, via two interpreters, about the current state of the press in Haiti. The group was invited to the United States under the auspices of the International Visitor Program of the U.S. Informational Agency. Thepurpose of their trip was to better understand the role of the editor, of which very few exist in Haiti. Thegroup has toured community and ethnic media throughout the country and visited press associations inMiami, Washington D.C., New York City and New Orleans. Bellingham was their last stop beforeflying back to Haiti. Much of the five days in Bellingham was spent visiting the Bellingham Herald,KGMI/KISM Radio and KVOS Television. The delegation watched a lively debate between Mayor TimDouglas and Mike Kennard, candidate for the upcoming mayoral elections. Wilhem Romeus, generalmanager of Haiti Liberee, the government daily newspaper, addressing the reception in French, wasimpressed with the debate. "(The debate was) an eloquent testimony of what democracy is here andhow you are concerned with the development of your city," he said. Jack Keith, managing editor of theBellingham Herald, said one of the Haitians asked if the debate was a set up. Keith said the Haitianwas surprised to hear that it wasn't a set up. Haiti is a Latin American country the size of Marylandbetween Cuba and Puerto Rico. It is the only Latin American country to have French as its officiallanguage. On Feb. 7, 1986, the 30-year-old dictatorship of Dr. Francois Duvalier and his successorand son Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, was overthrown. The country has been ruled by a militarygovernment since then. On Nov. 29, Haiti will hold elections for president. The free media of Haiti is twoyears old, Jean Robert Simonise, spokesman for Television Nationale of the government of Haiti, saidthe media of Haiti has always been used in the past as a tool by those in power to influence the politicsof Haiti. Romeus, also a college professor of Haitian literature and history, said they will continue to fight for a democracy. "After thirty years of dictatorship you have to fight for democracy," Romeus said. "Itwill be a difficult and slow process but we have no other choice." Serge Phillipe Pierre, editor andnewscaster for the Radio Nationale of the government of Haiti and a professor of French and Latin, saidbefore Duvalier was overthrown, it was impossible for journalists to gather and print the truth. Five daily papers are printed in Haiti, serving Haiti's population of about six million. Marie-Helene Ewald, the only female in the Haitian delegation, is a news man- . ager for a private cable TV station, Tele Haiti. Shebegan her career at age 14 as a radio news announcer. Ewald said she was hired because radiostations were desperate for people with good voices. She said she needed the job because her motherhad four children and her father left the family. Ewald spent six years as a TV anchor-woman on nationaltelevision for the government under Duvalier. She said she did not have the freedom to say what shewanted over the air. "Sometimes you'd be ready to go on the air and someone would say "you havesomething to read,' and you'd have to read it," she said. Very few women in Haiti have a position as high as Ewald's. She said only about 5 percent of media jobs are held by women. Women journalistsface obstacles because of their position in society. Ewald said women are considered kind andsubmissive and frequently exploited by politicians. "You have to be strong but smile all the time," shesaid.

Something is wrong, the student senses, sitting at a desk in Bond Hall studying geometry. A pencil rolls off the desk, falling to the floor. The floor is moving. Faint vi-brations and low rumblings resound in the building's foundation. Soon they become an overwhelming series of quakes. As students dive for safety that isn't there, desks bounce off each other and thewindows and walls begin to bend. Forty-eight miles below the campus, the earth is surging inconvulsions measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale. This is what might happen if a major earthquake were to strike Bellingham. And Western Geology professors agree people in Bellingham should be asconcerned as Californians about a major earthquake. "We ought to think more about an earthquakeoccurring here," warned Dave Engebretson of the geology department. The seismograph at WhatcomCounty Emergency Services in downtown Bellingham recorded t h e Oct. 1 Los A n g e l es earthquake,pushing the instrument's swing-arm and needles to 6.1 on the Richter scale. That disaster and itsaftershocks left six people dead and caused $108 million in damages. No one can predict thecasualties or the dollar amount in damages prior to an earthquake any better than geologists canpredict where and when one will strike.

But geology professorsat Western estimate a major earthquake, one they see as inevitable, would reduce many of thecampus' older buildings to rubble. Structurally-sound Bond Hall, Miller Hall and the Humanities buildingsurrounding Red Square are built on a bog. They wouldn't withstand a major earthquake in this area,geology professors say. Older buildings like the old Edens Hall, which now is boarded up, and thenorth section of Old Main are built on unstable ground. They also fail to meet strict requirements ofcurrent Uniform Building Codes that most of Western's newer facilities adhere to, said geology Professor Bob Christman. "It was a mistake to build certain buildings," Christman said. "We could stand to be al i t t le more concerned about where we build them." Other buildings such as Haggard Hall, WilsonLibrary, College Hall and the Ridgeway dorms were built on solid material, and therefore are moreresistant to damage. The new E n g i n e e r i n g - Technology building and the Environmental Studies Center are capable of withstanding a 6.5- magnitude earthquake, Engebretson said. Ground beneaththe campus, at this moment, could be active enough to cause 2.0 to 3.0 readings on a Richter scale,he added. The Richter scale gives a comparative reading of the power of earthquakes as determinedfrom seismographic recordings. An earthquake the magnitude of 1 is detectible only by instruments.Each time the Richter reading goes up by one point, the magnitude of the earthquake increases 10times. Engebretson, whose background is in geophysics and plate tectonics, said a major tremor inthe Puget Sound area would be unlike the Los Angeles quake. Faults in California, the largest being theSan Andreas, are usually shallow, he said, occuring 16 miles below ground. California's earthquakesare the result of deep ruptures within two plates, the North American plate and the Pacific plate, whichare sliding past each other. Engebretson said California will not plunge into the Pacific Ocean, contraryto what many people believe. Should the state break off from the mainland, however, it would migratenorth. That means one day Western students may be able to look out across Bellingham Bay and seeLos Angeles, 20 million years from now. Earthquakes in the Puget Sound area, such as the 6.4-magnitude Seattle earthquake in 1965, are not as frequent as those in California, but, Engebretsonadded, they can be more destructive. Bellingham is in a high-risk zone because of strain on the local plate fault, said Don Easter-brook of the geology department. Engebretson said the Juan de Fuca plate now is actively subducting into the North American plate, which Bellingham rests upon inland.Subduction results when one crustal plate descends below another. The process also adds thedangers of tsunamis, or huge sea waves created by undersea earthquakes, along Washington coastallands. The young Juan de Fuca plate is moving northeast faster than 80 miles every million years, hesaid. Though unnoticeable to us on the surface, the globe is constantly wobbling on its axis, idling like a finely tuned engine. Earthquakes could be compared to the loud knocking sound and damage doneto the pistons when the oil level gets dangerously low in the engine. Earthquakes occur when oil,sediments or other lubricating substances are scarce at the convergence points of relaxed strains inplates or faults, causing friction on a large scale. Will scientists be able to predict where and whenearthquakes will strike? "We're in the embryonic stage. We're just beginning to figure things joutabout predicting them," Engebretson said. He said geologists are looking at ground strain, heights ofwater and wells and studying the different gases released by underground activity in their search for answers. They also are applying laser-beam technology to cut across faults to measure smalldeformations in rocks, which is helping further research. t!Wo rship On Wednesday - HOH! 7:30 p.m. -Shalom Cancer (102 Highland Dr)| Lutheran Campus Ministry at Western Free Delivery Good In-Store,Take-Out, Delivery LIMITED DELIVERY AREA Bellingham 411 E.

Those products may contain asbestos fibers that are not readily identifiable. AVOID CREATING DUST. Inhalation of asbestos dust may cause asbestosis or otherserious body harm..." Most people would conclude sanding the tiles might be dangerous. Not Westernworkers and officials. They refused to recognize the serious health hazard involved and gave thewarnings the same credence a smoker gives the Surgeon General. They sanded the tiles anyway. Butas the boxes warned, the sanding created dust, dust found to contain 10 percent asbestos fibers.Materials containing more than 1 percent asbestos are considered a health hazard. ,, Not surprisingly, the Department of Labor and Industries slapped Western with a $3,700 fine for 19 safety violations.Western officials, who continue to take the asbestos problem as seriously as they would RonaldMcDonald, don't believe they deserve the fine and are appealing. They act as if closing their eyes tightenough will make the Hamburglar carry the asbestos monster away. Jose Harrison, Western's safetyofficer, has said "The whole thing was a comedy of errors." A comedy of indifference better describes it.Aug. 25 two part-time workers, who were not certified to work with asbestos, began sanding the gym'swhite aisle-way floor tiles, which contained asbestos. Instead of first ripping out the old tiles, theuniversity opted to sand the old tiles and glue new ones on top, thereby saving about $5,000. Despitecomplaints from workers and warnings from an inspector with the state Department of Labor andIndustries, the university had the workers continue sanding until Sept. 1, when the inspector threatenedto obtain a "notice of immediate restraint" to close the building. The gym was then closed and aprofessional asbestos removal firm cleaned the gym the following day. Meanwhile, as a result of thiscareless administration, about 15 university employees and 100 students have been exposed to theasbestos. Janitors also were allowed to clean in the gym unprotected and uninformed of the asbestoshazard. Harrison admitted he "forgot" to warn maintenance workers of the risk of asbestos contaminationin the gym. Worse yet, he apparently thought sanding the floor tile wouldn't create an asbestos hazardsince the DLI ruled in 1986 Western's burnishing or "no-wax" system of cleaning floors was safe.Burnishing is a no-wax method used to shine floor tiles using nylon pads. But this was not what theuniversity did. Instead, the gym's tiles were sanded using 20-weight sandpaper. There is a majordifference. Especially to the employees exposed to the health risks. Bill Chervenock, unionrepresentative for 180 university employees, told a Front reporter last month the event helped provide asafer future for campus asbestos projects. "It was an eye opener for them," he said. "No doubt in mymind they will comply with rules of handling asbestos."

Don't wait 'til it's too late Police need tools of trade I t's time to slough off our shining coats ofideals and expose ourselves to reality. University Police should be allowed to protect students andthemselves with the tools they are trained to use -- guns. These officers aren't rookies playing DonJohnson in "Western Vice." The greenhorn of the 11- officer force has nearly 10 years of experience.The chief has 32 years of experience. Two officers have 19 years experience, another 18 years and one16 years. The others have at least 13 years of experience. The officers know how and when to use agun. One officer is an FBI firearms instructor. Another is part of the "Governor's top 20," an honor given to the state's best law enforcement marksmen. O p p o n e n t s of the gun proposal say there hasn'tbeen an incident on campus to warrant arming police. They are wrong. Weapons collected by campuspolice from incidents, including assaults, are kept in a cardboard box at the security building. The boxcontains a three-foot club, an assortment of knives and brass knuckles. Western officers still can r e ca l l i n c i d e n t s involving dangerous weapons that could False calls endanger lives DAVE CUILLIER staff reporter have led to serious injuries. • A man with a mental disorder threw a rock through thebookstore window. When two campus police responded, the man lunged at one of the officers with acable staple. A cable staple is a hooked piece of metal with nail-sharp ends. • During a scuffle, a man threw a knife at a campus police officer. • About three years ago campus police received a call torespond to a rape in progress on 34th Street. Campus police were assigned to the call because Bel-lingham police units were busy in another part of town. • Two campus police cornered a burglar inRidgeway Commons. The burglar was armed with a knife and prepared to attack one of the officers. • When campus police approached a room in Higginson hall to serve a warrant, the occupantsjammed the door and tried to flee through a back door. As a policeman ran to the back door to interceptthe escape, he collided with a fleeing man. The man was holding a loaded gun. During the collision thegun was knocked into some bushes. Fortunately, in all incidents nobody was hurt. Protective vests,chemical agents and nightsticks aren't always going to protect officers from banana knives, three-footclubs and gun-wielding criminals. Every other campus in the state knows a campus is subject to thesame crime incidence as the "real world." That's why every other campus has armed police forces. Lt.Lee Brown used state law enforcement figures to determine that the average officer is serious^ ly injuredtwice in a 20-year career. Brown, unhurt in his 18 years of law enforcement, considers himself lucky.But the odds are getting worse for officers and students. The Board of Trustees has the opportunity toprevent a serious injury to an officer or student by approving the proposal in December. Emotionalappeals for a safe society through the abolishment of guns aren't a good foundation for a decision. Justthe facts, please. Alarm pulling is not a joke Acouple weeks ago someone thought they would pull afunny trick - literally. Shortly after midnight a fire alarm went off in Ridgeway Kappa, the residence hall inwhich I live. Obeying the annoying sound for fear of their lives, everyone filed out of the building. Most ofthem still were awake, so the alarm was simply a nuisance. But later, when all was quiet, someonedecided to pull the alarm again. This time they managed to wake everyone. After all, how many people in their right mind are up at 3:30 a.m.? As far as I am concerned, once was more than enough. Buttwice? When I first heard it, I didn't know what it was. After pushing every button on my alarm clock, IDEBBIE BRADSHAW staff reporter realized the noise - and indeed it was a deafening blare — waspersisting. Groggily, I dragged myself out of bed and down the stairs to assemble with the rest ofthe hall residents. Through the haze, I discerned firemen, policemen and campus cops milling around.They had been called to the scene of a false alarm. I get it...a joke, right? Ha Ha. But it's not a joke. If a person is caught pulling an alarm the fine is $500. I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind ofmoney. Unfortunately, no one was able to find who actually tripped the alarm. Or should I sayfortunately for the person (or per-" sons) who did it? Whoever it is would probably be a permanent patient at St. Luke's. One of these times the alarm is going to be for. real. The average residence hall has150 people. That is a lot of lives to be messing with. *: So, if you ever decide to pull the alarm just forfun, think twice. Make sure it's real smoke, not just • your soon-to-be enemies blowing; off steam. v ---------- Western Front - 1987 October 27 - Page 7 ---------- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27,1987 WESTERN FRONT 7 Coordinator is not equipped to decide The Front:AS Productions Special Events Coordinator Tara Brase appears to be the one "not equipped" to makedecisions regarding special events for Western. That she can accept a $10,000 loss of AS funds inthe programming of the Night Ranger concert so easily, is evidence that the AS Board of Directorsshould have more input in the program's "creative" endeavors.

Margaret Dunlap It's a mean world, you craven coward The Front, Dear Ms. JuliaRichards, You asked how I could support someone who doesn't support peace. I believe I approve of the President's initiation of the Central American peace talks. I made no statement on the presentadministration as such. My complaint that a sophomoric writer lacks respect for our president andthereby the people who elected liim is not a political statement, but a matter of common goodbreeding. Your belief, which apparently ignores the gruesome record of prodigious atrocities, that theRussian rulers are other than ruthless and unprincipled is the utter height of mindless naivete andunworthy of comment except to say: Just ask a Ukrainian. Ask an Afghanie. Ask a Pole. Or aHungarian. Ask the Cambodians. And on and on and on. If all this evil in the world that you're so worriedabout does not come from human beings, just how do you account for it? On the other hand, youcontend that only such an ignoramus as myself could believe that we darlings could be evil and thenproceed to say we are our own best enemies. Which one is it? Perhaps ignorance is more widespreadthan you care to believe. It may well be that psychological age could be best measured by the abilityto perceive and deal with r e a l i t y without self-deception, and this, of course, precludes substitutingyour "Never-Never Land" wishful thinking for the cold, stark fact that if we don't look out for ourselves,no one is going to. You cry "peace, peace!" Very original. I t ' s like being for motherhood. The fact is itis not the striking of such as I to attain and act upon a pragmatic understanding of mankind's past butthe wrong-headed misreading (or non-reading) of history by such as yourself that threatens the peace of the world. Will we never find a cure for self-righteousness? I'd be interested to see just how long yourpacific philosophy would last if you were attacked by some cruddy creep bent on killing you. I have asneaking suspicion you'd do your level best to mess him up before he did you, and if you didn't, you'd be nothing better than a craven coward. It's so easy to sit within the protection of those who perform thenasty duties of protecting your butt and harp at them for their violence, the proverbial dog biting the handthat feeds it. Gratitude? What's that? There have been do-gooders at every time, in every era, and theyhave never accomplished a single bit of good, ever, ever. You say I know nothing of humanity? What you don't know about the self-serving nature of the human animal could fill volumes. But more likely it will fillgraves.

The wholeadvertising campaign is ludicrous ~ how much more ludicrous it becomes when you include this fact.Then... "We'll have a harem of voluptuous women constantly drooling over her." This is just anotherexample of what blatant liars advertising companies are, and how gullible they think consumers are. It is time for a consumer revolt.

John Benedict Women's rights are in jeopardy The Front, Whilesome students are concerned about fat freshmen females, others are busy working on "larger"women's issues. A newly-proposed regulation change for Title X - Federal Family Planning Program - will jeopardize the rights of many women. These new regulations state that once a pregnancy isconfirmed, all family planning must end. In other words, women will not be informed of options in theface of a perhaps undesired or even dangerous pregnancy. Adoption cannot be discussed. In fact, theonly referral allowed will be to pre-natal care. Even if the woman has decided that abortion is her onlyoption, she can receive no information on this procedure even if she asks for it. In fact, the word"abortion" will be censored in all literature used by such programs. This regulation will affect any family-planning program that receives federal funds. The greatest impact will fall upon health departments andagencies such as Planned Parenthood. In other words, teenage girls and low-income women willsuffer. Those who can afford a private physician will get to openly discuss pregnancy options; those who cannot afford private services will journey back 14 years into the archives of reproductive rights.They will be forced to seek out abortions on their own without the benefit of counseling or financialassistance, or, even worse, bear children that are unplanned, unwanted or unaffordable. This is not a pro- or anti-abortion issue. It centers around basic patient rights. In all cases, all patients have a right toknow all their options. Letters of protest are the only thing that will stop this last-ditch effort to controlwomen's bodies, sexuality and choice. Can you afford this loss of rights? Linda Carr Women's Center Coordinator I won't hang my head in shame The Front, I decided not to attend the anti-male-violencerally at Boulevard Park; I don't care to hang my head in shame for three minutes as part of a nationalhumiliation of men. Such negativism only leads to lower self-esteem, which is the root cause of most ofthe violence. A man who respects himself and others isn't going to bully the weak, rape or beat women,molest children or lower himself to homosexual depravity. Thus what men need is a sense of pride,dignity, and self-worth, which we haven't received from the Christian Church or our Christian-influencedsociety. Instead we have gotten messages of contempt and disgust for the sin of sexuality. We arehuman beings, we are not perfect nor angels. But if we maintain our pride and self-respect, we will notsink to the level of sleazy, untrustworthy animals.

Jose Harrison, Westernsafety director, said he does not think workers were exposed to unsafe levels of asbestos during a tile-replacement project in August. He said he thought the procedure used in the gym was safe and forgot to warn workers when tests revealed a risk of asbestos. "The whole thing was a comedy of errors," hesaid. The state Department of Labor and Industries fined Western $3,700 for 19 violations ofasbestos safety standards Aug. 31. Western filed an appeal Oct. 20. Wendy Bohlke, Western assistantattorney general, said questions about the test results and confusion surrounding the orders to closethe gym may be part of the university's grounds for appeal. The events leading to the citations beganAug. 25 when two temporary workers began I he new boxes of tile located on the sanding site hadwarnings printed on the side that stated, "Do not sand existing resilient tile...They may containasbestos fibers"' replacing the white aisle-way floor tile in Carver Gym. Both workers have been floorlayers for more than 30 years. After consulting with their superviser, Joe Bean, they started using acheaper and faster method of replacing the tile, Dennis Smith, physical program director, said. Thesanding procedure could have saved the university around $5,000. Instead of tearing out the old tile, theworkers buffed the old ones with sand paper so they could glue the new tile on top. The new boxes of tilelocated on the sanding site had warnings printed on the side stating, "Do not sand existing resilient tile... they may contain asbestos fibers ... avoid creating dust..." The warning also said the dust onceinhaled might cause asbestosis or other health problems. Medical studies have proven asbestos to be acancer causing agent. The new tiles do not contain asbestos, Jose Harrison, Western safety officer said. The sanding continued Thursday until a physical plant employee called his superior and complained ofthe clouds of dust the sanding was creating. About 15 university employees and 100 students areestimated to have been exposed to the asbestos at some point, Peter Harris, director of the physicalplant, said. Harrison said he knew the old tile contained asbestos but was not aware the workers were sanding the tile until Thursday. He was told about the sanding when he returned to work. "Once I foundout, I gave the workers respirators and hypa (high powered) vacuums to remove the dust as they worked," he said. Harrison said the workers informed him the top one-third of the tiles didn't contain asbestos and he did not think sanding them would create an asbestos hazard. He said, "The biggest mistake I madewas not going back the next day and checking." He said burnishing tests performed in 1986 led him tobelieve sanding the floor would not be dangerous. The tests were conducted by the Department ofLabor and Industry to determine the safety of Western's burnishing method. Burnishing is a no-waxmethod used to shine floor tiles. The tiles are buffed with three nylon pads. The pads are used insequence and range from coarse to fine. The workers were using 20-weight sandpaper. "Obviously,we were doing two completely different things," he said. The sanding was allowed to continue throughFriday Aug. 28. After receiving more complaints from Western workers, Robert Parker, Department ofLabor and Industry Safety Inspector, arrived at Western Monday August 31. At about noon, afterinspecting the area and collecting samples, Parker recommended the Gym be closed. He then drove the samples to Olympia to be tested. At 4 p.m. Parker called Western urging the building to be closed. The tests results showed the dust from the gym floor contained 10 percent chyrsotile asbestos fibers.Material that contains more than 1 percent asbestos is a potential health hazard, Parker said. Officialskept the gym open until Tuesday morning and only closed it when Parker threatened to issue a notice ofimmediate restraint. The university was cited for violating 19 safety standards, three were labeledserious. The violations included: • Western management did not take corrective action after CarverGym was identified as an asbestos hazard and did not protect the safety of the employees. •Western failed to provide and require persons entering the work area to use proper respiratory equipment. Bill Chervenock, union representative for 180 campus employees, said a grievance report was filed thelast week of August, to set up negotiations for a settlement for those employees exposed to theasbestos. Harris said the two temporary employees who were doing the sanding will be given freemedical examinations, and their files will be kept for 30 years. Handling of asbestos was stopped at thistime until a new policy could be drafted. • The university did not assign certified -asbestos workers tothe Carver Gym project. •Western allowed the custodians to perform their normal clean-up duties inthe gym unprotected and uniformed of the asbestos hazard. "I was not told about the hazard untilTuesday morning at the meeting," Dorothea Kochajda, building service manager, said. Daisy Cartwright,one of the custodians who cleaned in the gym during the sanding, said she and her fellow employeeswere not informed of the hazard until a Bellingham Herald reporter asked them questions.

STOS awareness of fibers Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to lungcancer and chronic lung disease. These diseases can't be clinically detected for 20 to 40 years afterexposure. "The greatest danger of asbestos is that some fibers are so small that they can't be seen andhave no odor. One asbestos fiber is 10 times smaller than a human hair," Leslie Orr, Department of.Labor and Industry spokesperson said. The legal permissible exposure limit for asbestos is .2 fibers percubic centimeter. Scientists are still debating whether even one fiber is acceptable, Robert Parker, DLI safety inspector, said. Specialists aren't sure if lung cancer is derived from long exposures of smallamounts or short exposures of large amounts. Because asbestos fibers are so strong, flexible, andresistant to heat they have been used in many products including floor tiles, insulation and asbestos-cement pipes, he said. The commercial importance of asbestos began with its use in steam enginesin the 19th century. The name asbestos is given to a group of 30 minerals. Six of the 30 are used inindustry. Chrysotile, one of the six most common types of asbestos, accounts for about 95 percent ofthe world production of natural mineral fiber. Canada, Rhodesia, Swaziland and the U.S.S.R. are theWorld largest suppliers of asbestos. Only 3 to 4 percent of asbestos extracted from rock is suitablefor spinning or processing into tiles. Some products which are made with asbestos include clothing, fireblankets, fireproof curtains and draperies, insulation material for wires and cables in home andindustrial appliances and for rocket nose cones and combustion chambers. All of Western's academicbuildings contain some form of asbestos except the new Technology-Engineering building and ParksHall. According to a 1984 report by the Committee on Nonoccupational Health Risks of AsbestiformFibers, asbestos has been used by man for thousands of years.

IBIlliliB!il^BlliliiiBf DLIdemands new asbestos policy The Washington State Department of Labor and Industry is requiringWestern to develop a new policy after the school violated asbestos safety regulations in August. Thenew policy would set guidelines for officials to follow before asbestos work is started, said Dennis Smith, Physical Plant program manager. Smith said the new policy still is in the planning stages. He said itwill include some of the same precautions but will be more specific and strict. "Decisions for asbestosprojects will be made at the supervisor level," he said. Before the Carver Gym incident, the oldpolicy was being revised to reflect the new state standard that came out in May, Smith said. The oldpolicy, while not in complete agreement with the new standard, did include safety measures for handlingasbestos. Some of the old policy guidelines include: • Asbestos work sites within r e g u l a t e dareas are to be monitored, unless employees are equipped with air respirators. • 'Regulated areas"are work sites where airborne concentrations of asbestos may exceed the permissible exposure limit. • Monitoring information shall be made available to employees authorized to work in asbestoswork sites. • Regulated areas must be easily identifiable. Only authorized persons will be permitted inside the work area to prevent accidental exposure. •Asbestos work within regulated areasmust be supervised by state-certified asbestos workers. The old policy also stated that regulated areasmust be barricaded before work begins and that caution signs must be posted on the outside of thebarriers. The policy will be discarded when the new policy is completed. The deadline for the new policywon't be set until the appeal hearing. Western will appeal the violations imposed by DLL Westernofficials plan to help implement the policy by educating staff supervisors. Physical Plant supervisors will attend an eight-hour asbestos workshop Nov. 6 at Lakewood. The workshop will inform supervisors ofasbestos hazards, regulatory requirements and safe work practice that must be followed during apotential hazard. In addition to creating a more strict guideline for workers and supervisors, the university is planning to buy air-monitoring equipment. "Air samples are expensive. We're looking into settingup an air-monitoring system in house," Pete Harris, director of the physical plant, said. "We're notsure of the need or where the money will come from yet," he said. DLI Safety Inspector Robert Parkersaid Western is required to perform air-monitoring tests over the next few years until the departmentdetermines it isn't necessary. If Western buys the equipment, asbestos workers will be wearing airmonitors. Also, area samples at potential hazard sites will be taken, said Steve Racich, a Westernasbestos worker. Racich was hired at the beginning of the year as an insulator on the basis of hisprevious experience as a certified asbestos worker. The university paid for Racich to attend acompetent asbestos training program in October. A "competent person" applies to an individual who can identify existing asbestos hazards in the work place and has the authority to take immediatecorrective measures to eliminate them. He presently is working with Smith on developing the newpolicy. "All asbestos abatement projects that involve university personnel has been suspended except for emergency situations," Racich said. In the future all suspected asbestos will be treated asasbestos until it can be proven otherwise, he said. ---------- Western Front - 1987 October 27 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT FRONTIERS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27,1987 Professionals help students copewith school stresses By VICKI STEVENS staff reporter "What happens dealing with life," is how DonGiddings, campus emergency mental health professional, defines stress. Every person experiencesstress at one time or another. Some people experience it daily while others only at peak times, such asfinals week. Dealing with stress can be frustrating or impossible for some people. Different people havedifferent methods for coping with stress, and some lack the necessary skills to deal with it. Students'stress stems from a variety of sources. Indecision about a major or career opportunity causes manypeople to seek counseling, Giddings said. Difficulty with classes and time management also are factorsthat stress students out, Giddings said. The residence hall staff plays an important role in helping newstudents, especially incoming freshmen, to cope with stress, Mathes Resident Director Terri Chedestersaid. For the majority of the freshmen living in the dorms, it is the first time they have lived away fromhome, which is a major stress in itself, she said. Combined with trying to figure out how to function in a coilege class, it can just be too much for a student to handle, Chedester said. When campus residentshave a problem, they are encouraged to talk to a resident advisor. RAs are trained to learn to deal withproblems and to refer students to the proper source if the RA is unable to deal with the problem. . TheRA usually is the first person to talk with a stressed student, Chedester said. They have day-todaycontact with residents and can see signs indicating a person is stressed. Physical and emotionalindicators easily are spotted in stressed people, Chedester said. Stress can :ause headaches,stomachaches, insomnia and weight loss or gain. People also may withdraw from their friends andbecome irritable. Mathes RA, junior Lance Deskins, said college students face many pressures.Pressure from parents to get good grades, pressure from relationships and constant pressure to be thebest. One way to deal with stress is to understand it, Giddings said. The cause of stress must beidentified before it can be dealt with. Please see STRESS, p.11 CRUISE SHIPS NOW HIRING.

Chedester said, "When a person becomesextremely stressed they feel a loss of control." The source of stress needs to be looked at and theperson needs to learn how to manage stress. If stress isn't dealt with, it can lead to more seriousproblems, such as suicide, Giddings said. Residence hall staffs are trained to deal with stress. "Theresidence hall staff is marvelous," Giddings said, "They really care about the residents." RAs go throughextensive training to prepare for the problems that arise in a resident's life. They must take Education340, which is a leadership class designed to teach them to put on programs and be leaders, Deskinssaid. RAs are screened carefully to insure they can work well with people. Each dorm is required to do a program about stress fall quarter, Chedester said. These programs may be about nutrition, timemanagement or exercise since all of these relate to stress, Chedester said. Eating good food is a mustfor alleviating stress, Chedester said. If a student only eats junk food, the body will deal with stressmore poorly. Learning to manage time is a must in dealing with stress Gidding said. Some peopleparticipate in so many activities they can't handle them all and need to learn to manage their time andset priorities, Giddings said. But, he said, those people who do participate in extracurricular activitiestend to handle stress because they have a release for their anxieties. He also pointed out people whodon't participate in activities do not necessarily have more of a tendency to "stress out." "It is completely up to the individual we are dealing with," Giddings said. "Every person is different." With midtermscoming, stress levels will be higher. Giddings and Chedester said midterms and finals bring an influxof stressed people. They also said taking time out for yourself is necessary to cope with stress.Sleeping well and eating well are two important devices to lessen the stress level as well. Giddingsdescribed college as one of the most difficult jobs a person can ever have. He asked, "When are youever going to have another job that doesn't end on the weekend and that you don't get paid for?"Acknowledging the long-term rewards of college, he said sometimes it is difficult to keep them in mind,especially when you have to take a class you really don't like. Consequently, the thought "What am Idoing here?" is a big stress factor too, Giddings said. He said dealing with stress is taking responsibility for your life. It is learning to manage your time and take time out for yourself. Once you learn the toolsfor coping with stress, you will feel better about life, and you can deal constructively with stress.Tips help make test-taking easier Mid-terms and finals are a time of extra stress for many students. Toavoid stress during the testing time, you need to plan ahead said Randy Hurlow, r e s i d e n t d i r e c t o r of Nash Hall. He recommended several ways to avoid stress, such as: m Avoiding studying when tired •Not procrastinating. • Getting enough sleep • Eating well • Making schedules • Planningout study time m Cutting down on caffeine • Getting up 15 minutes earlier in the morning to avoidstressful mishaps. To diffuse stress that already has taken hold, Hurlow suggested taking frequentbreaks while studying. During these breaks it is good to do physical exercise, so when you return to your work, you are refreshed. While taking a break don't think about the work that has to be done, he said.Hurlow said stress can be positive. "It's when it becomes distress that it's a problem."

Giddings said the role of the Counseling Center, and his position inparticular, is to empower students to find solutions to stress — solutions alternative to suicide. Suicidemay be the second highest cause of death among college students, Giddings said. He suggestssome reasons why many choose to take their own lives during what society says should be 'the bestyears of life'. "The pressures on college students are enormous," Giddings said. "A student worksincredibly hard but with no immediate reward to show for it, and often decisions made during this timeput a student's future on the line constantly. If you fail a test it can screw up your college career, forexample." Along with the pressure to excel in school, Giddings said students are made aware, often for the fitstjtime, that they are ultimately responsible for their lives. "Mommy and daddy" no longer arethere to tell them what to do. As a result, Giddings said he believes students may place unreal pressureon themselves to succeed, in school or relationships. "But stress felt at this time is not automaticallybad," Giddings pointed out. "Sometimes stress can help you perform better. It's when stress gets sobad, when you feel absolutely hopeless, that the problem becomes more serious." Giddings saidthoughts of JULIE MAR11N suicide, though, are normal among everyone at one time or another.Because we are creatures with knowledge of death, Giddings said it is natural to consider it as "a way out." But what makes the difference between thinking of suicide and actually attempting it? "I don'twant to say there is a line separating those who only think of suicide and those who try it," Giddingssaid. "But there appears to be some common feelings among those who have attempted suicide." One of these is a feeling of hopelessness about a problem. Giddings said if a person can't see a wayout of a situation, a person may feel suicide is the only option. A person also may have some troublecontrolling impulses. "Young people often don't have a concept of the permanence of death," Giddingssaid. "They may consider suicide without really realizing that it's a final decision."

Giddings is quick to point out that considering suicide doesn't mean a person iscrazy, but rather an indication they may need help working out a problem. That's where Western'sCounseling Center can assist students. "It's very difficult to ask for help, particularly if you feel youshould be helping yourself or your problem isn't big enough," Giddings said. "The point is, if it's yourpain, it's important enough. We don't tell you how to solve your problem. We help you to help yourself."Help at the Counseling Center is free to any student who wants it. Giddings said an initial appointment is made for a student with a counselor to get an idea of the student's situation. Usually three to fourweekly sessions then are scheduled for the student. The Counseling Center also can refer students tooutside counselors for more extensive help. But it appears the Counseling Center has been doing athorough job of meeting the mental health needs of Western students. Most state-aided mental healthfacilities in Whatcom County say they rarely treat anyone who identifies themselves as a Westernstudent. "The majority of clients we see are older (than college age) or those who need help on a regular basis," said Vicki Lee of the Whatcom Counseling and Psychiatric Clinic. "(Western's) counselingcenter seems to do a good job of taking care of the students." Giddings' position of emergencymental health professional is of a counselor for students to more serious situations. Rather than seeclients on a regular basis, as most counselors, Giddings is on call 24 hours a day to deal with studentswho have or may attempt suicide. He goes to the student at the hospital or home to offer immediatesupport and guidance while the student is in the fragile state after a suicide attempt. "I find most peoplewho attempt suicide really don't intend to die," Giddings said. "Many are often surprised at how farthey got. This is not quite the solution to the problem they were seeking." But Giddings said the most important thing a student with a problem can do is ask for help. "Suicide never has to happen," hesaid. "No machinery starts grinding that results in someone dying. We always have a choice, no matterwhat."

But the sands of time wentagainst the Vikings Saturday at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Ore. Peter LaBarge's apparent 31-yard field goal was disallowed by the officials who ruled the ball was snapped after time had expired. Soinstead of a three-point victory, Western had to settle for a 13-13 tie, snapping Pacific's four gamewinning streak. The tie puts the Viking's record at 2-3- 1. Pacific is 4-1-1. Trailing 13-7, Pacific had tiedthe game on a 17-yard touchdown pass from senior Brent Smith to freshman Don Holbert with 2:15 leftin the game. The Boxers could have taken the lead, but sophomore Jeff Gardner broke through to blockthe extra-point kick to keep the game tied 13-all. . But as they had the week before against WesternOregon, the Vikings put together a late drive. Starting from its own 7, Western used eight plays and aPacific penalty to move to the Wolves' 47 with 12 seconds left. On the next play, senior tight end RobJames made a diving one-handed stab of a John Barger pass to put the ball at the 15. The clock wasstopped with two seconds left to move the chains, but the official was slow to get away from the ball after restarting the clock, and Western was unable to get the snap for LaBarge's field goal off in time. Adownside to the tie was that the Vikings had never trailed and led for all but seven minutes of the game.After LaBarge's 47-yard field goal in the first quarter gave Western a 3-0 lead, the Vikings took a 10-0lead in the second period. Sophomore cornerback Mike Min-nehan's interception put the ball at thePacific 38. Six plays later, sophomore tailback Scott Lohr scored from a yard out for Western's onlytouchdown. LaBarge kicked a 36-yard field goal late in the third quarter, his fifth three-pointer in twogames, to round out the Vikings' scoring. As has been the case much of the season, Western'sdefense did an outstanding job, forcing five Pacific turnovers. "I feel real good about our defensive play,"said Western head coach Paul Hansen. "Other teams may be better, but pound for pound we hit as hardas any team I've seen. What has been the big diference the last couple of weeks is the pass rush we'vebeen getting." The Vikings had four sacks, all of them by freshman linebacker Cory Heins. Overall,senior linebacker Wayne Lewis led Western with 21 tackles and an interception. Lewis is only 25tackles away from breaking the school record of 415, held by Bob Taylor. Western heads back toOregon next weekend to play Lewis Clark State in Portland. The Pioneers are 0-6, coming off a 24-6loss to Whitworth.

Men's lacrosse graduates inalumni game, 11-8 The Western Men's Lacrosse Club was victorious Saturday in its first alumni match,played at Lake Padden. Western won the match, 11-8. The alumni team was made up of formerWestern players, most of whom currently play for other teams. The alumni team, as well as the game,was organized by Dave Chorlton, class of 1982, and Mark Baker, class of 1986. Both teams weredevastating in the first half, together finding the goal 11 times. Western's Fred Thumhart started thescoring with the game's first tally. The alumni team then came right back with Rob Cuomo scoring twoconsecutive goals within 30 seconds. Western answered with three goals of its own. Dave Grevescored from the front of the goal, and minutes later Thumhart knocked in his second goal. Steve Wisman then worked the alumni goalie one on one and burned him for a score. But the alumni team fired backwith two more goals. At the end of the first half, Western led by the small margin of 6-5. The second half began with another quarter of back-and-forth play. Julio Ramirez dropped in a low bouncing shot for thefirst score of the third quarter. The alumni team bounced right back with Slater grabbing his third goal.Western, however,; took over in the fourth quarter, putting three goals in a row into the net. John Cassidy and Tim DeJong both scored and Ken Williams slammed in his first Western Lacrosse Club goal. Thegame ended with the alumni team's Rod Robinson putting in a score.

The team rolled back from Portland Sunday night a bit shell-shocked after three straightlosses, but still in the NAIA District 1 playoff hunt. The Vikings traveled to Husky Stadium lastWednesday to play the University of Washington, having surrendered only one goal in the last twogames and just three all season. After a scoreless first half, the Huskies abused Western's defense forfour second-half goals. The 4-0 loss dropped the Vikings to 2-2-2. "We played a great first half, but thenwe gave up and stopped playing," coach Kevin Quinn said of the loss. "They're a great finishing team,and we gave them plenty of chances to prove it in the second half," he added. Western spent lastweekend in Portland, facing Warner Pacific College Saturday and the University of Portland Sunday.The Warner Pacific game also started promisingly. Quinn said Western controlled the first half as theteam gained a 1-0 halftime lead. Western's goal came as Dennis Lapchis connected on a volley off aJohn Parker cross from the left side. Warner Pacific tied it in the second half before a Western own goalsealed the Vikings fate. The final score was 2-1. Sunday Western outscored Portland 1-0, but that wasin the second half after Portland had demolished the Viking defense for six first-half goals. MikeSaunders tallied the Vikings lone score on a penalty kick. The 6-1 loss to the NCAA Division I schooldropped Western to 2-4-2, 1-4-2 in the Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference. In the games that count toward the NAIA playoffs, though, the Vikings are 1-0. The team's remaining NAIA District 1 games are tomorrow against Simon Fraser University at Burnaby, B.C., and Saturday against Seattle University at Viking Field. Western wraps up i t s regular season against Whitworth College Sunday at Viking Field.Quinn said the team's difficulties last week stemmed not from a lack of skills but from mentalbreakdowns. "It's mostly the composure," he said. "We just lose our passes or get caught too far up the field and can't get back on defense. To make the playoffs, Western must defeat Simon Frasertomorrow night. The Clansmen went to the NAIA championship game last year, and have had a virtuallock on the District 1 playoff spot in recent years. Viking women win two in Oregon It whirled in like ahurricane, and when it was done it had left a path of destruction the size of a soccer field. Sunday theWestern women's soccer team knocked the wind out of the University of Oregon, leaving them dazedby a score of 8-0. This raises Western's record to 9-4-2. "It wasn't a very difficult game," head coachDominic Garguile said. Western controlled the game from the beginning, with a score by Beth Grahamin the 15th minute. Linda Bostj antic then made a surprise goal on an off-angle penalty kick andpounded in another during the second half. Other goals were scored by Graham, assisted by StacyMcAfee; Jenny Schurman, assisted by Julie Groenen; Susan Vroman, assisted by Schurman; DaleLetendre; and Stacy Kuhnle, assisted by Alex Milner, in the last 10 seconds of the game. The Vikingshave two more regular season games before the NAIA playofft Nov. 12-14. The first is against theUniversity of Washington at 1 p.m. Saturday at Viking Field. The following Saturday they meet theUniversity of Puget, Sound at 1 p.m. in Tacoma. Crowds like these and the 400-plus frenzied fans fillingthe seats at Saturday night's season-opening 5-4 win over the University of Washington are expected tobe one of the keys to keeping Western's hockey team in Bellingham. Icemen faighstick Huskies, 5-4 By JIM WILKIE staff reporter Western's hockey-starved fans got a taste of what they'd been missing fortwo seasons as the Vikings opened the season with a 5-4 victory over the University of WashingtonSaturday at Bakerview Ice Arena. Chris Wagner scored the game-winning goal on a breakaway with alittle more than three minutes left in the game. After a scrambled play at center ice, typical of the match, Wagner grabbed the puck at the UW blue line and made no mistake shooting the puck betweenHusky goalie Brian Hart's legs. "I was praying the puck wouldn't start rolling off my stick because of the(rough) ice. It didn't so I put a deke (move) on him and put it through the five-hole," Wagner said. TheHuskies tried to intimidate Western by starting a few of the game's fights, but short tempers proved tohurt UW. "We're a better team if we're not in the penalty box," Husky coach Tom Chase said. TheHuskies gave the Vikings a scare when Greg Hodgson gave UW its first lead of the game early in thethird period. While lying on the ice, Hodgson swept the puck past Western goalie Eddie Tamas, puttingUW in front 4-3. Buoyed on by its noisy fans, Western put pressure on Hart and finally tied it up whenPaul Hough picked up a loose puck at the side of the net and scooped it into the open net, setting thestage for Wagner's heroics. We owe It to the fans. They didn't get down on us when we fell be-hind. -Chris Wagner "We owe it to the fans. They didn't get down on us when we fell behind," Wagner said. "Itgives us such an edge when the other team complains about our fans." Western appeared to be headed for a rout of the Huskies when Curtis Elliott scored early in the first period, and Eric Eldridge followedup with a short-handed goal. But Jeff Vallee of the Huskies cracked the Western defense, scoring hisfirst of three goals on the night, slowing down the Vikings' momentum before the first period ended.The Vikings and Huskies gave the partisan crowd what it was looking for with some hardhitting,grinding hockey. The Vikings totalled 39 minutes in penalties in the game compared to the Huskies 38.The game got slower and sloppier however, as the ice got slower. A Zamboni machine wasn't availablefor the game so the ice wasn't cleaned. Wagner was credited with Western's third goal, which wasknocked in by a Husky player. Then Vallee scored a nice goal from a sharp angle on Tamas' right sideafter skating out from behind the net. Vallee completed his hat trick with a short-handed marker, tyingthe game before the second period ended. As can be expected so early in the season, both teamslooked slightly unorganized^ because of lack of practice. Many times players chose to take shots farfrom the net rather than try to pass or set up plays. "We were looking bad, t h a t ' s for s u r e , " Viking defenseman Bruce Nash said. Despite the loss, Chase wasn't too disappointed with the game. "It wasa fun game. This is the strongest team we've had in a long time," he said. The loss was the Huskies'second of three games this season. Western's next game will be a rematch against the Huskies Nov. 7at Sno-King Arena in Lynnwood. p - K r i i i f i m i i B Say it up FRONT Advertise with us 676-3161 F * " i » ' • ' " » * , * « Herbs for natural skin care Wonderland Tea and Spice AMERICANCANCER SOCIETY Get a checkup.

Club Northwest won the men'smeet, but Western made a good showing by finishing second overall and first among NAIA teams in attendance. "The men ran super. It's one of their best races all year," Western Coach Kelven Halsellsaid. "The girls that ran did a super job. They didn't let the two girls who were out bother them." The twogirls who were out were number-one runner Genevie Pfueller with a strained solius muscle and JenniferHallett with injuries from a dog bite. The women's team finished fourth overall behind Club Northwest,Simon Fraser and Seattle Pacific. Leah Pells of Simon Fraser won the meet, with the top Westernrunner being Dolores Montgomery, who finished 12th. The other Viking finishers were JenniferEastman, 19th; Sarah Williams, 23rd; Laura Hayes, 30th and Cindy Seaberg, 40th. The men were led bya strong race from Neal Sherry, who finished third behind Jim Reinke of Club Northwest and BruceStirling, who ran unaffiliated. Other Viking men's finishers were Matt Ruhl, ninth; Hugh Weber, 15th;Hans von Mohr, 19th; and Craig Hansen, 21st. As the season has progressed, the men have ranstronger at every meet. In four of the five events this season the Vikings have been the top District 1 NAIA team. The only time the Vikings did not lead the NAIA pack was at the Central Washington Invitationalin Ellensburg, the site of the upcoming district championships. The Viking men's leader in 1987 hasbeen Sherry, who never has finished lower than sixth in his event and also won the Central WashingtonInvitational. With Weber back from his knee injury the Vikings should have a full roster ready for districts. Consistency has been the key word for the women. They never, have finished lower than fourth and have been the top NAIA team twice. The key for districts is the anticipated return of Pfueller and Hallett.Pfueller is starting to work out this week. Both should be ready for districts. ^WESTERN FRONTSBUSINESS OFFICE STAFF College Hall #11 676-3161 • Business Manager; Tony Larson •Advertising Manager; Bruce Wiseman • Graphic Manager; Michele Carter • Accountant; ColetteJalbert, Cheryl Vitek • Secretary Donna Williams, Laura Sprague • Graphic Artist: Kim Miller,Dave Kuester, Alessandro Leveque • Advertising Hepresentative; Brian Cabreros, Heather Loyde,Tawni Shutter, Danny Markum • Distribution Mumtazee Noorani A Career Investment That's WRITE On The Money. g i^WRr TER writers and designers of resumes and cover letters 676-6271 a* i\ef*%rfS gt;!i.*» • gt;". lt;««" 3$ gt;fee*ij^fcte_ SAND/ VALE SHOE REPAIR 1333 RAILROADAVE.

He stated once the wording is cleared up and made more specific regardingkegs on campus, the keg policy will be a good one. For example, a student asked about using kegs asfurniture. Another student, senior Rich Holstein, asked about the keg he keeps in his refrigerator tosave money on buying beer by the case. The committee said it needs to explore questions like thesefurther in order to tighten its policy. Miller said he disagrees with setting up a Drug-Alcohol Information Center because it wouldn't be cost-effective. He By JOHN WYBLE staff reporter Heated debate andpersuasive theatrics highlighted a role-playing simulation of the ratification of the United StatesConstitution Saturday. Political Science Chairman Don Alper and 34 students of his AmericanPolitical Thought class r e e n a c t e d the p r o c e s s t he original convention delegation would preferto join alcohol information with the Drug Information or Counseling centers already on campus.Students at the meeting chided the Front for accepting advertising promoting pro-alcohol viewscontradicting task force recommendations. In particular, students disagreed with a Bud Light, SpudsMacKenzie calendar insert in the Oct. 9 issue that "encouraged people to drink" using the slogan, "BeTrue to Your School." "What you're saying is, if you wanna be part of Western, you should drink BudLight," a student said. "I'll have a hard time with this policy if you ban kegs and run Spuds ads."Saundra Taylor, vice president of student affairs and committee went through to ratify the Constitution. The students prepared for a week before the six-hour simulation. "We divided the class into twogroups, the Federalists and the anti-Federalists. They discussed issues such as standing armies andthe judiciary system," Alper said. The s t u d e n t s p r e p a r ed original speeches supporting oropposing the Constitution. Many of the students were attired in customary colonial garments member,said she has met with Front editorial boards in the past, and while she is sympathetic to the issue ofadverse ads, the newspaper has a right to accept any advertising in order to put out the paper. Theno-alcohol policy lists several guidelines that ban certain promotional materials on campus and prohibitthe sale of alcohol for profit. For example: • Promotional materials including advertisement for anyuniversity-related event shall not refer to the amount of alcoholic beverages. • N o social event shallinclude any form of "drinking contest" in its activities or promotion. •Possession, consumption or sale of alcohol is not allowed at which included dresses, long socks" and colonial hats. The anti-Federalistswho were against the Constitution wore buttons opposing the concept of federalism and theConstitution. The blackboard in Arntzen Hall 4 was filled with slogans and symbols supporting freedom,liberty and equality. P o l i t i c al Science major Michele Wilson said, "I can't imagine a better way to celebrate the bicentennial of the Constitution." The Constitution officially Western athletic events,including club sports. This applies to all students, faculty, staff, alumni or others in attendance. •Marketing, advertising and promotion of alcoholic beverages on campus, (referring to bottled productssold at cost of purchase, for example), must conform to state regulations. The task force based theirrecommendations on a Committee on Substance Abuse report that found 84 percent of Westernstudents said they use alcohol at least once a month. The report also estimates 40 percent of thecampus population abuses alcohol or drugs, and about 20 percent of students who drink have "seriouschemical dependency problems." The task force also has dis-was ratified 200 years ago on Oct.27,1787. During the six-hour simulation, each group presented passionate pleas and eloquentspeeches supporting their side, despite heckling from opponents. The anti-Federalists opposed theConstitution because it gave too much power to the executive and judicial branches of the government. The Federalists tried to compromise by including a bill of rights that would insure the new tributedinformation to dorms to make them more aware of the policy. Task force Chairman Peter Elich, dean ofthe College of Arts and Sciences, said the policy is designed to inform students about alcohol abuseand to teach them to be more responsible about drinking. "We could have considered establishing arigid policy and enforcing it," he said. "But that policy wouldn't have had any effect on the use ofalcohol." Taylor said she encourages students to contact her at her office in Old Main 390, or call 676- 3846 if they have additional comments or questions. A final policy based on committee findingswill not be completed for at least two months. government would not turn into a tyrannical, despoticsystem of policymaking. "Dr. Alper gave us the opportunity to experience first hand what has provento be the guiding light and highest law of our nation, the Constitution," Wilson said. After muchdeliberation, the re enactment, ended with a call for a final vote. Contrary to history, the Constitution was opposed.

Call prompts labelremoval from Playboy, Penthouse By Mike Clynch staff reporter In what appears to have been a hoaxphone call, the implication of legal action against the Associated Students Cooperative Bookstore forced the removal of point-of-sale warning stickers which had been placed on Playgirl, Playboy and Penthousemagazines during winter quarter. George Elliott, bookstore manager, said he received a phone callfrom an attorney representing Penthouse magazine. The attorney implied that the stickers werelibelous and legal action might be taken if the stickers were not removed. "No lawyer representingPenthouse has had any official contact with the university," said attorney Laurence B. Sutter, who isassistant council for Penthouse. However, he added, "We certainly think that the sticker, as well asthe sign, is completely unconstitutional." Joseph Burton, special consul to Playboy magazine, saidPlayboy had not initiated any action either. The two stickers at the center of the controversy, eachabout the size of a business card, were placed on the cover of the magazines. The first, intended forPlaygirl, reads: "Playgirl is part of the spectrum of objectification in our society that research has shownmay lead to harm of individuals.'' The second, intended for Playboy and Penthouse, reads: "Researchhas shown magazines that objectify women may lead to demeaning, harmful and violent treatment of women, and a societal acceptance of this treatment." Elliott said he had assumed the phone call to belegitimate. After receiving the phone call, he contacted Administrator for Student Activities JackSmith,who is the ASBoard of Director's advisor, and told him about the incident. Elliott, who said he has always been opposed to stickering the magazines, said he recommended removing the stickers until thesituation could be assessed. Elliott contacted Saundra Taylor, vice president for student affairs. Acabinet meeting which included President Kenneth Mortimer, Taylor and Assistant Attorney GeneralWendy Bohlke, was held to discuss the matter and it was decided to pull the stickers from themagazines. Thestickers were pulled onthelastday of winter quarter. Taylor and Bohlke did not commenton the issue. Laurence said Penthouse had received a copy of some Front articles providingbackground information on the magazine issue. He said the articles had only arrived in the mail a dayor two ago and were still being studied. Rainier Distributing, the Everett-based distributor of all threemagazines, requested copies of the articles. They mailed them to Playboy magazine, which then sentcopies to See STICKERS, page 2 Legislature House approves higher enrollment for Western Workingman's hero speaks By Scott M. Ayers staff reporter By Scott Ayers staff reporter Western's enrollment will rise by 264 students the next two years if the Senate and Governor approve the budget passedSaturday by the House in Olympia. The budget would raise Western's state-funded enrollment cap to8,914, up from the current 8,650. The increase is more than the university had asked for. GeorgePierce, Western vice president for business and financial affairs, said the direction the legislature wastaking toward higher education was "very satisfying" but the budget did not meet all the needs of theuniversity. Western originally asked for an enrollment increase of 200, a number set by the state'sHigher Education Coordination (HEC)board, Pierce said. The HEC board proposal set a $5,300 The HEC board proposal seta$5,300 per student cost on enrollment increases. Pierce said this cost needed tobe met in order to maintain a level of quality education created by the facilities and professors theuniversity offered. Pierce said while the house budgetpassed on Saturday did allow for an enrollmentincrease, the amount of money granted to Western would not cover the $5,300 per student the HECboard recommended. Representative Pete Kremen D-Bellingham said the budget represented thebest compromise. "It seems no matter how big the pie is there is never enough to go around to pleaseeveryone, but higher education is a priority — especially for me," he said. Kremen said the budgetreflects See HEC, page 2 Cesar Chavez, president of the United Farm Workers of America and alife-long activist, is speaking atnoon on Wednesday in the Viking Union Lounge. He will discuss his experienceas alabor leader, his union's boycott of California grapes, and diversity on college campuses. Chavez isknown to some as a hero of the working class and to others as a radical leader. Chavez has beendescribed in The New Republic as "one of the last representatives of a dying breed — the charismatic1960's hero." Chavez's visit gives students and faculty a chance to meet and question the man, whoseunion activities have included leading strikes and fasting for months at a time to draw attention to theconditions faced by farm workers, many of whom are migrant Hispanics. Camille Hackler, director ofWestern's chapter of MEChA (Chicano Student Movement) said Chavez's arrival at Western is theculmination of years of work by the organization. "He's so hard to book up," she said. "Usually, youneed to schedule him years, three years in advance." A stroke of luck enabled Western to bring Chavezto campus. Hackler said a student who worked for the UFW last summer contacted MEChA and toldthem Chavez would be in the area speaking, and asked whether they would be interested in havingChavez whether they would be interested in having Chavez spend part of the day at Western. Hacklerjumped at the chance. "To have a chance to hear him is an honor," Hackler said, comparing Chavez toGhandi and Martin Luther King, Jr. "He has done a lot for both farm workers and Chicanos," she said."He's such a wonderful man to learn from." See CHAVEZ, page 3 Cesar Chavez ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 9 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS April 9,1991 i n — i i — " • • " — •— STICKERS continued frompage 1 Kremen said the budget reflects the fact Western has received special recognition as a qualityinstitution. "It has become accepted by a majority of the members of the house ... (that) Western is oneof the most efficient institutions in the state." Governor Booth Gardner's original budget proposal calledfor S125 million in cuts for higher education. The budget passed Saturday restored approximately$80 million of that proposed cut. Pierce holds hope that the Senate budget, which could be releasedthis week, will propose more money for higher education. "Our sense is that the Senate's two toppriorities are K through 12 and higher education," Pierce said. Both Pierce and Kremen agreed there isstill much work to be done before a final budget is approved, although Kremen expressed reservedoptimism the legislature would dismiss by the scheduled end of the session on April 27. Pierce saidthe university hopes an improved higher education budget will be produced by the time the governorsigns the final budget. "We hold out some optimism that the (final) budget will approach what we had the last biennium," he said. If Pierce's optimism proves unfounded, Western could be forced to cut backsomewhere within the university. Pierce said the administration's various vice presidents have beenmaking "very preliminary" discussions with department heads and deans about the possibilitiescuts. Since there was still a chance cuts wouldn't be necessary, no definite areas are being discussed,he said. The upcoming senate budget proposal could contain a different proposal to raise funds for higher education. Gerald Saling R-Spokane, introduced a bill calling for an eight percent tuition increase topay for increased enrollments at all state institutions of higher education. The proposal, Senate Bill5814, seeks about $90 million in funding for additional higher education enrollment according to anarticle in Eastern Washington University's Easterner newspaper. The article said at the time the bill only stood a 50-50 chance of passing through the senate and making it into the budget. Briefs Eveningchildcare The Whatcom Evening Childcare, 722 N.

April 4 A co-coordinator of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance reported receivingthreatening letters in the Viking Union. HEC continued from page 1 Penthouse magazine. In an earlierinterview, Vice President for External Affairs Chad Goller and Vice President for Activities MoiraHopkins both said they had checked the legality of placing the stickers on the magazines with RainierDistributing, who informed them that it would be legal. Goller and Hopkins said they felt since thebookstore had purchased the magazines they could do what they liked with them. The magazines arestill on the rack of the AS Cooperative Bookstore — minus the stickers. A sign, which hangs over the top of the magazine rack, remains. It restates the same message as the stickers. The magazines stillare wrapped with plastic. In previous interviews, Smith, Goller and Hopkins said the purpose of theshrink-wrap was only to prevent the sticker damaging the magazine — not to prevent people fromglancing through the contents.

More than 20 people sang, danced, played, cried, laughed and spoke in support of the people,animals and plants of the ancient forests throughout North, Central and South America Sunday in thePerforming Arts Center. An audience of more than 200 people howled, clapped, laughed and cried alongwith the performers. "This is great!" exclaimed Michael Brown, a senior at Western majoring in politicalscience and environmental policy. "I'm really glad the chautauqua is here." Western was one of morethan 50 stops for the road show, as it travels from Vancouver, B.C. to San Diego from April 2 to May 13in an old bus revived with bright green paintings of trees and multi-colored posters announcing the event.Achautauquais an assembly for educational purposes based on the system used at the summer schoolsin Chau tauqua N.Y. The show opened with prayers and drumming by Dave Yakima Chief, a LakotaSioux elder. Musical performances included: Narada recording artists Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumble;Helena Montifiero with songs from Chile; and Earth First! activist Darryl Chemey with songs about JudyBarry (the Earth First! organizer of Redwood Summer injured by a car bomb). Marilyn James, a American Indian from the Colville reservation in Eastern Washington, pleaded for truth in education as the onlycatalyst for real change. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Sobs punctuated her words. "Until this system,this university, teaches the truth about Native Americans, there can be no change," James said. "NativeAmericans are the ultimate indicator species, and we are being driven to extinction, because we've lostour land." Hazel Wolf, 92-year-old secretary of the Seattle Audubon Society and internationalenvironmental activist, talked about another indicator species, the Spotted Owl, as she "clear cut themyth of owls vs. jobs." Wolf cited both loggers and environmentalists as victims of large timbercorporations like Weyerhaeuser, Boise- Cascade and Plum Creek. Wolf cited 38,000 jobs lost not to tree and owl conservation, but to implementing technology in the industry. "Those in the timber industry shed no tears over these jobs, because it broadly increased profits," Wolf said. Wolf punctuated her story with the joke about the guy who was caught shooting and eating a gull. "When the game warden asked theman what a gull tasted like, the man responded: 'Like a cross between a Bald Eagle and a Spotted Owl,'" Wolf joked. CHAVEZ, continued from page 1 Hackler said many Hispanic-speaking Americans refer toChavez as "El Santo" or "The saint." Chavez, born in Yuma, Ariz., became a migrant farm worker at the age of 10, when his father lost his farm during the Great Depression. His family traveled throughout theSouthwest, working where ever farmhands were needed. In 1952, Cesar Chavez was a part-time lumberworker in San Jose who wanted to change the working conditions he, his friends and his neighborsstruggled with. Chavezmet Fred Ross, a man committed to the idea of a grassroots organization toempower migrant workers. He and Chavez traveled through the Hispanic communities of California,forming community service organizations which, among other things, registered thousands of Hispanicvoters. Chavez eventually stepped forward as the leader of anew movement, the National FarmWorkers Union founded in 1962. By 1966, the NFW merged with the AFL-CIO's Agricultural WorkersOrganizing Committee to become the United Farm Workers of America. Chavez made a commitment tononviolence, which is one of the main doctrines of the organization. Since then, Chavez adoptedGhandi's practice of fasting in order to bring change for farm workers. In 1968, Chavez conducted a 25-day fast in Delano, Calif. His goal was to help empower laborers who worked on the grape fields of central and northern California. Chavez's fast came at the end of what The New Republic called a "prolongedand often bloody strike'' against the grape producers. But, with the help of national politicians andclergy, Chavez and his union eventually orchestrated a nation-wide boycott of California grapes that ledto contracts with the four largest grape-growing firms in the state. His latest fast was a 36-day episode in 1988, which Chavez lost 33 pounds and became ill in order to make his point. Despite Chavez's pulland popularity, he continues to lead a simple life, according to an article penned by UFW Vice-President Dolores Huerta in The Center Magazine. UFW rules allow enough salary to Chavez to pay his rent,supply his family with food and buy clothes, she said. Huerta, who has workeu with Chavez since theunion began, described him in the article as a genius and a strong leader. Others disagree with thisportrayal. The New Republic detailed complaints by one UFW founder, Gilbert Padilla, who saidChavez "scared off the best people in the organization with a combination of eccentric and tyrannicalbehavior." According to the article, a Federal District Court ruled Chavez did not have the authority torelieve the nine prominent union representatives he removed. The article also said while other UFWleaders live in trailers, Chavez has a four-room wood-frame cottage. Chavez's latest grape boycott effortbegan in July, 1984. The campaign seeks to win protection from pesticides, improve conditions in thefields, obtain free and fair union representation elections for farm workers and receive good-faithbargaining from grape growers. The New Republic article said reports vary on the success of the UFW'slatest campaign. While grape growers report record profits, a field report in California said 42 percent ofthe public said it is complying with Chavez's boycott request. gt; "Most creative use of traditionalingredients north of Seattle".

Stealing someone else's work, they say, is essentially the same as stealing anything else."Academically, it's a form of stealing. You're stealing a degree," Larry Richardson, chair of thecommunications department, said. Richardson recently had to throw out a final exam because ofstudents circulating an old final during the test. Other students may also feel that cheating is unfair.Higher scores received through cheating raise the grade curve, making it harder for others to get thegrades they deserve, said several students who were interviewed. Cheating undermines education anddefeats the purpose of the university, Western junior Mike Hanthorn said. "The whole purpose of auniversity is that you get the rewards for doing the work, and if you cheat, you're obviously not doingthe work," Hanthorn said. fctll TOKYO HOUSE JAPANESE RESTAURANT "Authentic Home StyleCooking 733-6784 1222 N.

Cheating also directly affects the instructor. Mark Hinchliff, aphilosophy professor at Western, said he has been forced to change his methods because studentshave cheated on assignments. He used to assign many take-home assignments, but studentscollaborated on their work and copied each other's work. Now he assigns more papers and in-classtests. Hinchliff said he finds the methods he now employs to be less effective than the old way, but hefeels they are necessary. Hinchliff says University policy, which requires instructors to determinewhether cheating has occurred, ties the hands of professors and discourages them from pursuing their suspicions. An independent board should be set up to investigate cheating charges and to decide thecases, he said. Consequences for students are caught cheating are severe. Western's academicdishonesty policy dictates that students judged by a professor to have committed cheating orplagiarism are be given an F grade for the course. Students may appeal the decision, but if theydon't or are unsuccessful the grade is permanent and the incident is placed on record. Richardsonrecalled an episode several years ago in which two students in different sections of the same courseturned in identical work. Other professors seem concerned, as well. Carolyn Darling, a Western senior,said two of her professors spoke to 400-level classes about plagiarism at the beginning of thisquarter. "You'd think that by the time you're a senior, either you'd be caught or you wouldn't," Darlingsaid. Why do some risk cheating? Why do others play it honest? Moststudents interviewed agreed thatcheating occurs because the student feels overwhelmed by the test or assignment, or doesn' t feelcapable o f earning the grade he or she wants. The students also agreed that differences exist in thelevel of morality: Looking at a neighbor's exam, for example, isn't as bad as stealing an entire paper.Hanthorn, when asked if he thought cheating was ever all right, answered with "a very qualifiedmaybe.—If I thought the test or paper was very unfair, but I'd still make an effort to talk to the professorfirst." Those who do decide to cheat might not be immune to guilt pangs. Tracy said that although shewas relieved when she first discovered how she was going to solve the problem of a difficult test, shefelt guilty later. "It's not a good feeling," she said. "I don't know if I'd do it again." Ethics in the classroomaren't easily separated from life outside the classroom, Richardson said. Cheating produces lesscompetent professionals in the field, he said. "You don't want a doctor treating you who cheated on all his exams, or a teacher who cheated teaching your children," Richardson said.

A proposed merger of Valhalla equipment rental and The Outdoor Program will allowstudents to rent outdoor equipment and plan a trip at the same time and place. The Outdoor Programand Valhalla equipment rental have put together a 30-page proposal to be presented this week to theActivities Council, in order to merge the two Associated Student services. "It is the exception for acollege to have its outdoor program separate from its equipment," Janet Hart, program activitiescoordinator said. "Having the two together will better serve the student body. The two go hand in hand."The proposal will require a slight restructuring of the Viking Union. A wall will be removed between the two services, which are located next to each other. "We'll be on the hot seat, " Hart said. "The plan calls for a substantial increase in funds. Sometimes they are unable to come to a decision on the action items,we may not find out for another week whether or not our proposal has been excepted." The activitiesprogram is asking for more money to contract out. The program is setup so that if coordinators want tohire someone to teach skills they can. The extra funds will bring more activities. The Outdoor Program is set up for students to learn outdoor skills and get involved in organized hiking trips and other activities.The program has a network system for new students to set up partners to do activities with. The Outdoor Program also teaches environmental ethics on trips, offers magazines and books on different sports,and gives instruction about places to explore. Topographic maps of Washington and a listing of guideservices around the country are available for planning trips. "Coordinators and volunteers provideservices, scheduled instruction and excursions," Hart said. "The instruction and events are offered atcost to students. We're not trying to make a profit." The Outdoor Program is located in the Viking Unionroom 103 and is open weekday afternoons. Hart encourages students to stop in and feel free tobrowse and ask questions.

It's time to drop your books and head for the water. Justminutes away from campus is Lake-wood, Western's recreational boating facility. Located on LakeWhatcom, Lakewood is managed by the Associated Students and is accessible to Western studentsand alumni. Lake-wood is subsidized by student fees. Lakewood provides equipment for sailing,windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, and rowboating free of charge. Life preservers and wet suits are alsoavailable for students' use. A sand volleyball court and a picnic area is also available. Manager Jeff Davis said Lake-wood has a lot to offer students, including the use of expensive water sport equipment atno charge. "Lakewood gives students the ability to get off campus and on the water without owning theequipment," Davis said. Lakewood has two types of sailboats — the Alpha and the Laser I. Davis saidall of the equipment is high quality and in good condition considering the amount of use it receives. "Ifanyone is interested in water sports they are missing an opportunity that doesn't exist anywhereelse," Davis said. Although kayaks, canoes and rowboats are all free of charge, there is a $5 fee for asailing card. The sailing card allows students and alumni to sail at Lakewood anytime and is renewableevery three months. To receive a sailing card, a beginner must take a sailing class from Western ortake private lessons from Lakewood. Four private lessons cost $35. The card is available forexperienced sailors after an orientation. Lakewood also has a lounge for campus organizations andgroups to use for gatherings. The lounge is free to campus groups but there is a small charge for privateget-togethers. Senior Jeff Wolff first visited Lakewood with a group from Beta Hall to barbecue, playvolleyball and go boating. "Lakewood is a good place to go if you want to get back to nature," Wolffsaid. Although Lakewood doesn' t offer any special events, Davis said when the sun comes out there isa lot going on at the lake. The Western sailing team/club practices on Lake Whatcom and uses theLakewood facility. The club is open to anyone and experience is not necessary. Pepi Gerald,commodore of the sailing team/club, said sailing is a great experience. "It gets you out to do somethingin the sun," Gerald said. The sailing team/club competes in regattas throughout the school year andtravels to other states to compete. "Sailing is a simple sport if you make it a simple sport. We are out to have fun," Gerald said. Lakewood is open 2 p.m. to dusk, Mon., Wed., Fri. and 10 a.m. to dusk,Saturday and Sunday.

Mountain biking WIMPY riders pedal their way toward better cyclingimage By Troy Ragsdale staff reporter Mountain biking offers people many opportunities ranging fromcompetitive racing to a fun way to exercise. It can also be an entertaining sport if you like getting dirtyand watching your buddies crash. Recently, bikes have earned a bad name at Western. Sehome Hill isclosed to riders, and there was a movement last fall to get bike riding banned on campus. Yet a group of riders are trying to change peoples' view of mountain bikes. They are known as the WhatcomIndependent Peddlers and Yo-Yo's, or WIMPY riders, and their focus is on the social aspect of riding.Jim Sullivan helped put the group together three-and-a-half years ago. A few people would meet onSaturday and go riding. They were all former racers but wanted to ride for fun. Sullivan is a two timenational champion and the 1989 world mountain- biking champion. The group meets at 10 a.m. everySaturday at the Lake Padden tennis courts for a slow ride around the lake. Then theriders head backtoSullivan's house to have an espresso and split into groups based on riding ability. The groups are fast,medium-fast, slow and real-slow. There are an average of 20 to 25 WIMPY riders, though up to 45people may come out to ride on a nice day. The group is not very structured and there are no dues."Even out-of-shape folks can handle the dead-slow ride around the lake," Sullivan said. The riders try topromote courte-ousness on the trials because they do not want to alienate hikers. The group has alsobuilt and restored quite a few miles of trail and were instrumental in getting the trail at Fragrance-Lakeclosed because it was too fragile to ride bikes on. Dave Moore, a junior at Western majoring inenvironmental policy and assessment, met Sullivan on a trail and learned about the group from him. "It's cool to go riding with people just for fun," Moore said. Moore said he thinks there are a lot of bikers whoare too serious and aren't very friendly. He likes this group because they go out to have a good time anddeal with hikers in a friendly way. Moore is also a member of a group of ten riders who have formed aracing club called the Chiefs. Yet he prefers a less-competitive approach to riding. Karsten Hagen, asenior majoring in English creative writing, joined the WIMPY rides in September. She said she likes the fun aspect of it. While having fun is important, Sullivan also stresses trail education for mountain bikers. "Others know how to use the trails. We're the new kids on the block," Sullivan said. "We need to useSehome (Hill) as an example. If no one cares, it will get shut down."

Three Westernrunners, Lisa Waltenburg, John Deremiah, and Jeff Van Kleeck all came in under the national qualifyingstandard. Also, Western hammer thrower, Dennis James, placed 3rd in the event, throwing more thanseven feet past the qualifying mark. Senior distance runner, Waltenburg, who had already qualified for nationals in the 3,000-meter run three weeks ago at the Husky Classic, competed in the 5,000 for thefirst time. She beat the qualifying time of 17 minutes, 48 seconds by more than 18 seconds and came in sixth in the race. Waltenburg said she should be able to improve her time before the national meet "Ibasically ran pace until the last mile," Waltenburg said. "I didn't want to go out too fast and have a hardtime at the end." With times in the 3,000 and the 5,000 already in the bag, Waltenburg said she hopesto gain another qualifying time before the season ends. "I've always wanted to do the 1,500 innationals and I'm running thatnext week (at the WWU Triangular meet)," she said. Waltenburg alsoplaced 4th in the 3,000 at the Invitational. Senior John Deremiah also had a strong performanceatthelnvitational, with Western's only firstplace showing and a field record in the 10,000. Competing inthe event for the first time, Deremiahran the race in 30:34.0. He came in 1.2 seconds ahead of the fieldrecord set in 1989, and 26 seconds ahead of the qualifying time for nationals. Sophomore Jeff VanKleeck placed4th in the 10,000, three seconds better than the nationals cut off of 31 minutes. He saidthe level of competition was good and brought a good performance out of everyone. "I think it helped(to have club runners at the meet). There was a nice big pack running a good pace," Van Kleeck said.Both Van Kleeck and Deremiah had qualified for the District 1 meet at the Husky Classic in the 5,000.Van Kleeck said he felt good coming out of the Invitational and will work on increasing his speed in the5,000 for upcoming meets. In the field events, Viking hammer thrower Dennis James placed thirdoverall, with a distance of 177-4. The qualifying distance for the hammer is 170-0. Other outstandingathletes at the meet included Craig S telling from Club Northwest and Michaela Colluney from SimonFraser University. Stelling, who was voted male athlete of the meet, won the javelin event for the 7thstraight year. His record toss of 237-2 beat his own meet and field records, and qualified him for theAthletic Congress Nationals. Colluney, the female athlete of the meet, won both the 100-meter hurdles and the 400 hurdles. She set a meet record in the 400, with a time of 61.5. Lady Viks ranked top crewon West Coast By Neil Landaas staff reporter The Western lightweight-8 and varsity-8 women's crewteamsplaced first at the San Diego Classic and Husky Invitational, April 6 and 7, respectively. Thelightweight-8 beat defending national champions, University of California at Davis and last years' second-place winner, University of California at Santa Barbara. The lightweight-8 beat UC-Davis by two seconds,finishing with a time of 7 minutes and 14 seconds. "That's a very respectable time for a lightweight-8,"coach Paulette Bergh said. "They really had a flawless race." By beating the national champions,the lightweight-8 is currently the top boat on the West Coast. The women's varsity-8 took first place atthe Husky Invitational on Saturday, attheMontlakeCutonLake Washington. Western's varsity-8 beatsecond place finishers, Pacific Lutheran University, by eight seconds. The varsity-8 rowed for a time of 6:46 in the 2,000-meter race. The University of Washington placed third and Lewis Clark College came in fourth. "This means we get invited to the Opening Day Regatta," varsity-8 rower Marin Seguel said.The Regatta takes place May^4, at the Montlake Cut. Seguel said participants will be coming fromas far away as China. Men's crew fares well at season opener By Toni Weyman guest writer At theSan Diego Classic on Sunday, the Viking men's lightweight- 8 stroked in behind Harvard, Yale andRutgers in the finals. The boats finished first, second and third, respectively, with the Vikings makingan impressive showing at fourth place, a top ranking for the West Coast. Meanwhile in Seattle, Western men's novice-8 crew rowed to victory in the Husky Invitational on April 5. With 30 strokes to go, theViking boat overtook Royal Rhoades Military Academy during the men's novice-8 competition. Alsorowing at the Invitational on Seattle's Montlake Cut was the Viking men's varsity heavyweight-8, whichfinished third in a tight race with the University of Washington's A andB boats.

Tyler Anderson/The Western Front The Western men's rugby teamlost to the University of Washington Huskiest 6-4, April 6 at Arntzen field. "We played competitively, butthe biggest strength they had against us was in their backs loose play," prop Morgan Roehl said. TheHogs are 1-4 in league play and will not compete next weekend. The Flames, Western women's rugbyteam, defeated the Ex-Britts of the University of British Columbia, 18-0, April 6. Tough competitionchallenges Vikings By Jeff Flugel staff reporter The Western women's track and field team fared wellagainst tough competition at the Western Washington University/Domino's Invitational April 5 and 6, at Civic Stadium. More than 400 athletes from thirteen university, college andclub teams braved theclammy, windy weather to participate in the meet, which is one of the largest track-and-field events inthe Northwest. "One reason I like this meet so much is because it does bring in the competition,"Western coach Kelven "Pee Wee" Halsell said. Tough competition did notdeprive the Vikings fromseveral standout performances. One such standout was distance runner, senior Lisa Waltenburg, whocompeted in both the3,000-meter and 5,000-meter runs. Waltenburg placed fourth in the 3,000 with atime of 9-minutes, 57.0 seconds, behind Club Northwest's S andra Guidotti, who ran a 9:25.0 for first,setting new meet and field records. Waltenburg went on to place sixth in the 5,000 with a time of 17:29.4. Mizuno's Regina Bonney took first place and captured new meet and field records in the 5,000 with animpressive time of 16:12.1. Western's Tracy Hettinga managed a 5-11/4 leap to nab third place in thewomen's high jump. Mary Moore, representing Club Northwest, placed first with a jump of 5-7. Alsonoteworthy were Vikings Molly McGraw and Danita Erickson, who placed well in the 200-meter dash and 800-meter dash, respectively. "Itwasareallygoodmeet,"HalseII gt;aid. "I was really pleased with ourteam." Halsell was happy with the large turnout, and said he was glad his team had the opportunity tocompete against such talented competition. Going against those kind of odds is a good way for theteam members to learn how to improve themselves, he added. "After all, that's what it's all about,"Halsell said. * The Western women's tennis team is 7-2 after defeating the University of British Columbia,April 6.

There's too damn many of them. Too many skinny men in spandex pants with bulging crotches andbufont hairdoos. They prance, they pose and they preen. Sometimes they even sing. If these men, whose intellectual psychological development came to a screeching halt somewhere in their adolescence,weren't rock stars, they'd be changing oil at a neighborhood Minute-Lube or collecting unemploymentchecks. Yet impressionable American youth worship these degenerates. Rock and roll has become areligion and capitalist exploitation has led the music industry down every path of prostitution andsleaze.*Rock stars will do just about anything to make it these days, including tattoo ing their bodyparts, piercing their nipples, shaving, their heads, and other forms of self-mutilation. Kids love it. Whetherthese people know how to make music or not is irrelevant. Teenyboppers are too busy trying to get backstage to fornicate with these rock stars to listen to the raunchy noise they're making and realize it's notmusic. The music industry isn't about music anymore — it's about money, sex and prostitution. Likeeverything else they touch, greedy capitalists have even turned our music into something dirty, twisted, and meaningless. Fans and performers can't see their way clear of the glam and the glitter. All they seeis bulging crotches. Anyone who has watched MTV (the worst thing that ever happened to rock and roll)knows that for modern metal heads, the electric guitar has truly become an extension of the penis. Every maneuver on stage is designed to simulate intercourse, every howl a cheap imitation of an orgasm. Theeffect is that music and sex have come to seem cheap and boring. The next step will be for rock stars toperform naked. Soon they won't even need instruments. They'll just come out and masturbate foreveryone. Good rock concerts always have been a little like group masturbation. Maybe all thesescreaming fans need is one good vicarious orgasm and then they'll feel like they got their moneys worth. After all, isn't that what it's all about; getting your money's worth? THE WESTERN FRONT Editor, MarkHines; Managing Editor, Steve McClure; News Editor, Kathy Tucker; Asst.

Everywhere I go, I see the American flag in every form you can think of, and a few Ihadn't. There are flag shirts, buttons, lapel pins, posters, hats and bumper stickers. You see the flag inwindows, on By Chris von Seggern bodies, on cars—everywhere. Staff reporter yes, I'm seeing a lot ofred, white and blue. American businesses, however, are seeing another color: green. Patriotism is ahigh-profi t enterprise in America after the war. Television commercials, instead of selling sex, now sellAmerica. A lot of advertising is now designed to appeal directly to your national pride. So? What'sthe big deal? It's just good business, right? Maybe. It's also blatant commercialism, cashing in on thewar and on its social consequences. Face it, all of this renewed national fervor is a direct result of thewar with Iraq. Before the war, most of the flags we saw were being burned on the evening news. Peopledidn't seem to be quite as proud of this country before our military stomped all over a third-world power.That's what it's all about, isn't it? We won a war. We There are flag shirts, buttons, lapel pins, posters,hats and bumperstickers... a lot of red, white and blue. American businesses, however, are seeinganother color: green. killed over 100,000 Iraqi troops, rumor has it. Nobody's talking about civiliancasualties on the Iraqi side. When you reduce the war down to its most basic level, that's what you're left with: we killed agt; whole lot of people. And American industry is making a buck off the carnage. Thinkfor a moment about the person who means the most to you. Maybe they're a family member, a friend, or a girlfriend or boyfriend. Now imagine that because of the actions of a government which doesn' t evenpretend to give this person a voice, he or she is dead. It's bad enough that they're gone. All their hopesand dreams will never be fulfilled. They will never have another birthday. All of the times you've hadtogether, all the things they meant to you have been brutally snuffed out in an instant by somebody theydidn't even know. Now imagine that this is going on around you in wholesale quantities. It seems prettyobscene that someone wants to use this tragedy to make money, doesn't it? This is why all the hype about America and the "new world order" induces nausea in me instead of pride. In our hurry tocelebrate this great triumph over Saddam Hussein, the Darth Vader of the Middle East, we gloss over thefate of all the people whose names weren't in the headlines every day. Even worse, good old Americaningenuity is capitalizing on it. Don't the men, women and children who died violent deaths on both sidesdeserve a little more respect? Life in America; back to normal? In the rather tidy wake of that OperationDesert Storm thing, life around here seems to have returned to normal. We no longer have to listen tothose whining protestors — they seem to have changed their minds about the whole issue. And noisy,war reporters aren't continually popping up on the TV screen to interrupt good programming any longer.Everyone has quite enough to worry about on the home front anyway. I mean, really, Americans havemany more immediately troubling problems. Personally, I find it hard enough to keep myself in Nintendogames, CDs and beer, without having to worry about what my government is doing half-way around theworld. You may find my uncaring attitude a bit troubling, but I figure, "why worry?" Our government issupposed to handle all of those kinds of things for us, isn' t it? I have such faith in the system, I don't even bother to vote. As for the people who questioned our government's actions in the Middle East, I would like to point out how easily our forces took care of that nasty villain Saddam Hussein. Nothing that easy canbe wrong, can it? But everyone seems to have accepted that already — after all, no more of those hippie-types are messing around in Red Square or Old Main. They must have all marched back home to have abeer and watch "The Simpsons." As for myself, I take great comfort in the fact that most people feelexactly the same as I do. With gas prices back down and our troops coming home with minimumcasualties, I just can't seem to find any negative aspects regarding our involvement in the war in the gulf.Oh, sure Iraq's a tad smoky and cluttered, and that sea over there is kinda messy and maybe a few ofthose Iraqi people are... DEAD, but all for good reasons, right? We were justified in our actions, right? We didn't let our government make a mistake, did we? Did we? Did... WE? By Karl W. Jensen Staff reporter ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 9 - Page 11 ---------- April 9,1991 OPINION The Western Front 11 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Altering consciousness: arepressed necessity of life A new section: ISSUES Dear Editor, This is in response to the first Western Front issue of Spring quarter 1991. The Front addressed topics with relevance, substance, and depth ina courageous manner—most notably, the Issues section and the Frontline used that manner with theissue of drug use in contemporary society. The rhetoric of the status quo uses the fairy tale of the drugwar to stimulate the blind patriotism that fuels its destructive ventures. The United States federalgovernment uses futile logic to combat the so-called plague of this nation. Simple economics wouldrequire that if they seriously were pursuing a solution it is the demand and not the supply that needs tobe dealt with. Ithas been said that there is not a demand that history will not meet. Nothing could bemore true in this case. But there is an issue beyond the federal government's involvement with drugs, an issue that gets back to the individual in society: American culture is devoid of means by which theindividual can alter his or her consciousness. Other cultures incorporate these types of practices intotheir spirituality, physical exercise, recreation, etc. Rituals such as meditation, yoga, dancing, and evenwalking down by the beach and loosing yourself in the sounds of the waves crashing against the rockscan be a means of altering your consciousness. The realities of the research on the effects andpurposes of drug use have been ambiguously revealed to public at large, if not kept from them alltogether. One of the most poignant of these findings is the evidence which suggests that the altering ofconsciousness is necessary for psychological health. (For further information see Andrew Weil'sThe Natural Mind, for example.) This, of course, does not in any way mean that the use of drugs isnecessary, but the oppressive nature in which this society deals with the use of drugs, such asmarijuana or LSD, is overt prejudice. It is my opinion that drugs are a short cut to alteringconsciousness. But that does not invalidate them as a method. Our culture has put us in a situationwhere even the discussion of altering consciousness is an oddity. Native American culture is filled with these practices, as are many primitive. Eastern, and African cultures. It seems that most of us aremore content to watch TV than to look inward. Eight years of "Just Say No!" has seeped too deeply intoour culture and bred more ignorance than understanding. The history of hemp as a legal product in this country has been erased by the government to make its mindless policy more accepted. It can beeasily generalized that Western culture lacks inherent mechanisms for altering consciousness, asopposed to other cultures. While many practices have slipped into our lives, none of them exist at acultural level of acceptance. Whether or not using drugs as a means of altering consciousness is a better or worse method is not the issue; the issue is that there exist very valid and psychologically healthyreasons for participating in some drug use. Yes there are problems that come from using drugs, but nomore than come from alcohol use.Marijuana and LSD should pose nothing worse to a society thandoes alcohol, the legal opiate. It is only our culture's ignorance to the altering of consciousness and to the use of these drugs that leads to THIS alienation. Just saying no is probably the greatest brainwashing that we have been subjected to. There exist very valid and real reasons for experimenting withsubstances such as marijuana and LSD, but the research that supports this is not presented by thepopular media and is not well dealt with in professional journals. Information that creates a greaterunderstanding of a phenomenon, be it a problem or not, needs to be understood by those affected.Unless the demand for drugs is understood and addressed, drug use, drug problems and drug wars willnever change anything. The federal government's position on the problem is to try to cut off the supply ofdrugs, a supply that is never ending. Until the people understand all the reasons behind the use of drugs, they will never come to grips with it, whether they are users, pushers, warriors or travelers. Sincerely,Robert R.

SPORTS, 3 Wednesday, Volume 101 Issue 6 Single copies free WESTERN FRONT Western Washington University Bellingham, Washington City Council approvesresidential parking zones • Western to fund start-up costs, resident permits By Joanne Fry TheWestern Front Permits will be required beginning Sept. 1 for vehicles parking on streets within newlyestablished residential parking zones in the Sehome and South Hill neighborhoods. The BellinghamCity Council on Monday passed the residential parking zone ordinance following Western's agreement to participate in the funding of the program. No Western—students were present at the meeting.Streets included in the new permit zones include Forest, Garden and side streets between Olive andCedar Streets in the South Hill neighborhood and the area bounded by Maple, Newell and Jersey Streets and the Sehome Arboretum in the Sehome neighborhood. Western's Transportation and ManagementProgram Coordinator Carl Root said the new ordinance will probably affect 500 to 800.students. Root did not give specific details as to how Western planned to handle increased student demand for parking,but he did indicate Western may add up to 200 more on-campus parking spaces to the approximately3,400 existing spaces on campus. ' Root said Western is looking at encouraging students, faculty andstaff to use alternative means of transportation, such as buses, car-pools and bicycles. He said Western also intends to focus on improving pedestrian, transit and . bicycle access to campus. "We are trying to anticipate the best we can, and get ready the m instead of solving the unmtzS problems, therstty^meds to solve own pmbleimjiifirst^ e AJFPresi best we can," Root said. Western will payapproximately $24,500 for the city's estimated administration costs and onetime costs of signage and software applications. Thereafter, the ordinance will cost Western $20,000 a year. Western hasagreed in principle to fund the first three years of the program. "Helping with the RPZ is part of ourcontinuing effort to find solutions in partnership with the city to the on-going problems of parking,"Western's Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce said in a Western pressrelease. "Details of the agreement are being worked out between the university and the city." The citywill pay for monitoring and enforcement of the zones. Western will pay for its share through increasesin on-campus parking permits and through parking fines. "I am pleased to see that the funding will notcome directly from student's pockets, and I am pleased to see that the university is coming togetherwith the community on specific issues," Western Associated Students President Shane O'Day said.However, O'Day said funds being spent on the residential parking zone ordinance could be better spenton improving existing on-campus parking and student transportation. See RPZs, page 2 Parkingoffice not collecting money for permits until fee increase approved By Ken Brierly The Western FrontAlthough applications are being accepted to reserve parking spaces on campus, Western's parkingand transportation office has not begun collecting parking fees because it is unclear how muchpermits will cost. The parking advisory committee recently recommended a 5 to 8 percent increasein parking fees to pay for parking lot improvements, new parking signs and rising operating costs of theCampus Express, a free bus shuttle service from a park-and-ride lot at Civic Field to Western. A delayed decision on the increase has postponed the permiting process for students, said Western'sTransportation Management Program Coordinator Carl Root. The parking and transportation office isaccepting applications from students to reserve parking spots but has not started to charge students forth" permits, Root said. The President's Council will vote on the increase Aug. 4, Vice President ofBusiness and Financial Affairs George Pierce told administrative assistant Nancy Phillips Monday. Full-time quarterly permit prices could jump 54 to 86 cents for motorcycle permits, $2.15 to $3.45 for C-lotpermits and $5.18 to $8.30 for reserved areas. In the future, permit fees may need to increase to meetridership demand on the Campus Express because of restrictions on parkingin residential parking zonesaround Western* Root said. As many as 500 to 800 students may be affected by the RPZs, Root said. Two-wheel drive Front/ Ryan Hooser Teachers of technology from around the state competed in anelectric bicycle race last Friday.

Video check-out now available By Joanne Fry TheWestern Front The video collection, previously located on the fifth floor of the Wilson library, has beenmoved to the library's first floor, and videos may now be checked out by all library users. "Just likegrocery stores, we've put the videos next to the checkout counter," Kim Marsicek, the loan desksupervisor, said. "We wanted to address the crowded conditions of the video coll ion, and we alsowanted to increase the accessibility of the collection to all library users," Frank Haulgren, the resourceservices supervisor, said. . The new video collection room replaces the section of the library that wasonce the old bibliography room. The collection is in the same area where the first floor copy machinesare located. Before the collection was relocated, the majority of the videos were circulated mainly toWestern faculty. Originally, the videos were a very small, non-circulated collection, Marsicek said. Nowthe videos can be checked out by any authorized library user on a three-day loan basis. If studentswould like to have videos longer than three days, they can call the library or come in person to renewtheir check-out. Improved accessibility to the videos began at the start of the summer quarter, and thenew video collection room is open during normal library hours. Marsicek said he estimates that thenumber of check-outs since the room's introduction have almost quadrupled in-comparison to theamount of check-outs during this time last year. The collection houses approximately 2,500 videosthat include feature films, documentaries, on-campus lectures and educational videos. The selectiongrows all the time. "We expect to continue to acquire new videos for the collection," Marsicek said. ---------- Western Front - 1997 July 30 - Page 2 ---------- 2 • THE WESTERN FRONT mm m^^^^»BMM^MM^^MW^WMKMM^MMMMMm^^^^xmkf'Mgt;WmJuly 30. 1997 Campus Police July 21,12:20 p.m.: A victim reported his windshield was broken whileparked in the 12A gravel lot.

"I feel instead of solving the community's problems, the university needs to solve its ownproblems first." Of those students affected by the ordinance, Root said he anticipates 15 percent willchoose to walk, bus or ride bikes to campus, 25 percent will ride the Campus Express, a free busshuttle service from Civic Field to Western, 20-25 percent will buy an on-campus permit and 30-35percent will park outside the zones. Root said buses are a choice people will resort to in response tothe residential parking zones. "We are working with the Whatcom Transit Authority to have standbyavailable if there are increased demands on the Campus Express so that we can accommodate thosedemands," Root said. In addition, Root said they are taking every opportunity to inform students of thenew ordinance, but he did not give specific details on how Western planned to educate moststudents about RPZs. Root said Western continues to explore a number of other parking options, suchas the redesign of some parking lots; construction of a concrete deck or lid on other lots; acomprehensive university bus pass system; and the addition of more park-and-ride lots.

THE WESTERN FRONT • 3mummrn'MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMmm Stadium initiative a super deal or scam?Washington voters last month narrowly approved Referendum 48, which provides $325 million worth ofpublic money for a new Seattle Seahawks football stadium and Seattle exhibition center. With thestadium issue resolved, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire sports enthusiast, Paul Allen, exercised hisright to buy the Seattle Seahawks from southern California real estate developer Ken Behring. Had Ref.48 failed, Allen said he would have not exercised his option to buy the Seahawks. During the final weeks of campaigning before the June 17 election, Allen, who also owns the NBA's Portland Trailblazers,dominated cable and network television broadcasts with pro-stadium advertisements. His message: vote"yes" and allocate money for a new stadium, or vote "no" and I won't do it without you. I'll walk awayfrom this deal and you'll be left with Behring and the Kingdome. Behring, a figure commonly held in thesame regard by Washingtonians as the evil Emperor from Star Wars, has run the team into the groundsince his take-over in the late 1980s. Despite Allen's subtle threat to back out of the deal, there is anabundance of evidence suggesting Allen would have bought the team anyway had voters not approvedRef. 48. Prior to the election, Allen had already invested heavily in the team. Allen spent $20 million onhis option to buy the team from Behring. This option gave Allen one year for his financial firm, FootballNorthwest, to study the economics and logistics of making the Seahawks purchase economicallyfeasible. Allen also dished out lucrative contracts and signing bonuses to marquee free agents ChadBrown and Willie Williams. The terms of Brown's deal were not disclosed, but he now holds the title ofthe NFL's highest-paid linebacker. Finally, Allen paid for the cost of having a special election and spentmore than $5 million on pro-stadium advertisements prior New toys Front/Nathalie Oravetz Guides TimKauth and Randy Scott get familiar with some new equipment. The Outdoor Center purchased river raftsand tested them July 19 on the Wenatchee River. A group of students including the AssociatedStudents president were busy riding the rapids and getting a tan. Anyone can sign up at the OutdoorCenter for a trip in the new rafts. to June 17. Allen has also agreed to pay $100 million toward the newstadium and guaranteed he'll pay for any cost overruns — which there always is. Allen has alreadyspent upwards of about $40-50 million on the team, yet he said if voters said "no" at the ballot box, hewould say "no" to buying the team? Maybe walking away from a $50 million investment is nothing to aman worth $13 billion. Realistically, I think he saw an opportunity to save money, and he went after it full throttle. So the real question is why milk $325 million from a fairly sophisticated region,.. especiallyone that had just gone through a painful stadium issue involving the Seattle Mariners? The answer isclear: He's a damn clever businessman. Why should Allen pay for the new stadium when he canmanipulate the public through advertising propaganda into believing public money for such a project isessential? Allen made a $50 million investment. Simply put, by doing so he convinced the public topay $325 million for his new stadium. The main attack strategy in the Football Northwest huddle was tofind a scheme whereas Allen would buy the team using some of his own money in a show of good faith,but the public would have to pay the lion's share. They even packaged it nicely; I even voted for it. Hey,only those whom go to events at the stadium, play a sports lottery, and tourists using rental cars and motels will have to pay, right? Isn't that what those advertisements told us? Look at the benefitsvoters get. The Seahawks stay in Seattle; they get a new, state-of-the-art outdoor stadium with realgrass instead of Astroturf and they get an enthusiastic owner who isn't afraid to open up his checkbookto sign quality players. They boot Behring out of Seattle, which is cause for celebration in itself. Theyget rid of the Kingdome, with its falling ceiling tiles, inadequate restroom facilities and mausoleum-styleappearance — good riddance. They also get Major League Soccer. Prior to the election, league officials from the MLS guaranteed Seattle a professional soccer team if the stadium issue were to pass. Voters who were skeptical about replacing the Kingdome with a new stadium will not be so when theSeahawks enter December 9-4 or 10-3. Think that is overly optimistic? ESPN football analyst JoeTheisman said last spring on national television Seattle is among the favorites to represent the AFC inthe Superbowl. This little business venture for Allen will make him the darling at professional sportsowners meetings. They will greet him with unworthy bows and rounds of applause. Allen's manipulativestrategies will serve as an inspiration for other money hungry owners to go out and further plunder theirmunicipalities. Could Allen have bought the stadium on his own? Of course he could have. Would Allenhave spent the extra $325 million to buy the stadium had voters not passed Ref. 48? Of course hewould have. But as voters, we were manipulated by marketing propaganda backed by Allen's millionsinto believing he wouldn't do it without US'. Well it worked. YOU DEMAND POWER, SPEED, ANDMOBILITY.

I push the play button and the machine verbally repeatswhat I had entered: "Ahhh-me." Amy, who is with me, tries for herself and this time something closer toher name is pronounced, although it sounds like it was said by someone from a foreign country — theRepublic of Mechanical Voices perhaps. We are trying out Phonemes, one of the many exhibits atMindport, a museum for all ages made up of all things interesting. Located at 111 Grand Ave., the freemuseum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday with a Mindport Exhibits visitorRowan Chappell experiments before he sends another boat down Canyon Creek. friendly staff ready toanswer questions and, of course, all the exhibits. Exhibits such as Spiral Eyes, Kaleidoscope Mirror,Pneumatic Levitation, Wave Music and the Earth Clock can engross curious minds for a whole afternoon.I am taken by a burled piece of wood wired with sensors across the surface to create music at the sweep of your hand. According to a handout describing the exhibits, this wood piece is named Burl Jives, which is a play on the name of late folk singer Burl Ives, get it? Jives selects from harp, bells, strings, organand other musical instruments to create new age compositions as visitors stroke the wood. Anotherfun exhibit is Skirshy-Ball Roll. Using PVC pipe as tunnels, troughs and elbows adorned with Velcro, one can affix these to a large cloth board to create a path for the "skirshy" balls. This is a very satisfyingactivity for me because as a little kid I always tried to make something similar with empty toilet paperrolls, tape and a marble. It never worked as a kid, but I am happy to report that this time the skirshy ball made it through just fine. Amy's personal favorite, sensibly titled Backwards Speech, is a machinethat will play whatever you say into it backwards. The results can be hilarious, confusing andsurprising. We try palindromes such as mom, race car and ten animals I slam in a net but they"don't work. We tried. It's even very difficult to say a word backwards and have it come out soundingnormal, as we pronounces the letters as if we were reading them, too hung up with the rules ofphonetics. Front/Erika Thorsen with changing the stream bed Exhibits are created by the Mindportfounders and employees, based on ideas of personal interest that come from "observing and playing withthe world," according to the FAQ sheet. Loans from guest creators also grace the museum from time totime. Mindport always welcomes ideas for new exhibits. The exhibits are part of what Ellen Hartstrin,museum coordinator, describes as an "interactive, hands-on museum." The museum staff andcreators, at one time touting themselves as an arts and science museum, are now steering away fromthat overly narrow classification. "It's a place to explore, a place of discovery; a way of looking at naturalphenomenon," Hartstrin said. She said exhibits ideas come from "things that capture our attention;with our fascination with how things work." Fascination seems to play a large role in Mindport'sexistence. In speaking with Kevin Jones, who founded Mindport along with Joe Edwards and RobinBurnett, he pointed to their fascination with the world as inspiration and motivation for beginning themuseum. "[We get] so much pleasure out of creating things. I think everybody's creative and hopeMindport will encourage people to be creative themselves," Jones said. "We put the most off-the-wallthings in here, and it's rewarding to know that people are excited by creativity." Not so off-the-wall are the striking nature photographs by Jones and Nancy Burnett. Burnett's collection of sea stars photographswere once a part of Smithsonian traveling exhibit. Along with exploring natural curiosities of the world,enjoying the wonders and beauty found in nature and having a darn good time, there are lessons to belearned. "We encourage people to look around [at the world] instead of watching television," Jones said."And as we use technological things, we should also be paying attention to human values." But howcan such a great place with great exhibits be free? Thanks can go to an anonymous benefactor inWhatcom County, Hartstrin said. Mindport is currently a for-profit organization that makes no money,although it is working on becoming non-profit. Mindport gladly accepts donations, but they aren't taxdeductible. Altogether, Mindport Exhibits can be summed up in the words of young visitor Jessica Quails: "It's pretty cool." Relive Lynden relics at your leisure By Brian Brandli and Marissa Ziegler The WesternFront As we cruise into the quiet little town of Lynden to tour its Pioneer Museum on Front Street,aromas of dairy farms and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy dance through the air. For a second, wethink that Universal Studios had moved to Enumclaw — the buildings resemble those in a John Waynemovie scene. The lawns in front of the houses are flawlessly cut and farms are plowed to perfection. Aswe pull up to the old brick building, we are surprised at how small it looks. We soon find out that lookscan be deceiving. Once inside, it is still hard to imagine just how big this museum really is. A mustysmell, creaky floors and a down-home atmosphere characterize this typical American museum.Lynden's Pioneer Museum is the largest pioneer museum in the United States because of its extensiveinventory of artifacts. The museum opened in fall 1977, and the majority of its displays range from 1880 to 1960, however some artifacts are older. It houses more than 8,000 artifacts in a 28,000 square footfacility. Before we set out on our venture, we are joined by Col. Jim Mackin, a retired auctioneer fromLynden. Mackin is the oldest volunteer at the Pioneer museum and is a board member. Mackin leads us into the exhibit of early Main Street Lynden, encompassing 25 businesses and shops. This area used to be a.parking.lot, but.-now it'is one. of the main attractions of the museum: Some of the most intriguingand colorful rooms are trie barber shop, schoolhouse and the saloon. '. .-''.". '-... '. ;,; - "I like the'way this is all put together; everything looks so new," said Robyn Wilson, a 10-year-old museum visitor fromVancouver, British Columbia. The barber shop has a separate room with a bathtub — the first one in theNorthwest.; "Back in those days, every barber shop had a bathtub so the guys could clean themselvesup after a haircut," Mackin said. The next room we encounter is the schoolhouse. The childrenmannequins in this- schoolhouse could use a trip to the local barber shop. Regardless of their featheryhair, they are not phased by the plastic mouse that is creeping out of the hole in the wall. All thisventuring has made us thirsty. Mackin accompanies us to the local saloon for a drink. The saloonfeatures a cigarette lighter that could pass for a missile launcher. A balcony and a chandelier add afestive old-style spirit to the joint. Once we are outside getting ready to leave, we look at the small brickbuilding in a different way. It doesn't seem so small anymore. Originally under the impression that wewould spend an hour to an hour and a half, we actually spend two hours and could have spent anadditional two hours roaming the museum. Tours of the museum can be arranged for $1 per person, andschool tours are free. General admission costs adults $3, students and seniors $2 and as Mackin wouldsay, "All those young whipper-snappers" are admitted for free.

"Here, ours are specialized. They're done European style."Pleasant Valley Dairy of Ferndale has been making cheese as well as national headlines for years. Witharticles in the "New York Times," "Sunset" and "Country Woman" magazines and various travel guides,this family-run business has a delightful palate pleaser worth making a trip up Interstate 5. "People whotaste it tell somebody else, and they tell somebody else, and so on," Train said. Distinctive cheesestarts with distinctive cows, and that's where Shawn Atwood comes in. "I'm in the business of milkin' 'em, and it's a pretty long process," he said. Atwood, a dairyman of six years, purchased his herd of about 70cows from the Train family at the beginning of this year. He estimates that 60 of his cows are available for milking, while the others are dry. "Dry" cows are two months away from producing a calf. Atwood's cowsrange in age from calves at just a few months old to 11 years. The average age of the most efficient bovine is five years because "older cows just have more health problems,"Atwood said. "They've got problemswith their stomachs, leg problems, and their udder breaks down." The dairy queens are each unique inpersonality. "Every cow's got a different attitude," Atwood said. With names like Stacey Mo, MaryPoppin, Rachel, Sassy and Pudding, the girls get the royal treatment at Pleasant Valley. Eachconsumes an average of 20 pounds of grain and 10 pounds of alfalfa per day during the summer inaddition to fresh grass. Every cow has her own bed of hay changed daily and grazes freely without stressor rush on 70 acres during good weather. "We just got to keep 'em well fed, housed and happy," Atwood said. At 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day, the line forms outside the milking room door. Like clockwork, theeager animals gather outside for their feast of grain while they offer their most prized commodity to milking machines. The room is small, and the green metal gates clatter as each lady lumbers through. Atwoodand fellow dairyman Kyte Tiersma wrestle the bulging udder "bags" (as known in the biz) into the milkpumps so that the process runs smoothly. "I've gotten a few scars and scrapes, and one time my armwent completely numb," Tiersma said. Tfie^whole milking process takes about two and a half hours. UWithin just a few hours of pumping, the fresh Grade "A" whole milk is used as the base1 in the art ofcheese' making. Pleasant Valley Dairy offers several varieties of European style cheeses, includingGouda, Farmstead and Mutschli. The Gouda, created with Dutch cultures, is available plain as well aswith the additional spice options of caraway for a Scandanavian flavor, Mexican cumin or jalapeno,Danish fines herbs and peppercorn. The fines herbs Gouda is a special blend of onion, parsley, celery and garlic. Peppercorn Gouda is a mixture of pepper, paprika, ginger and onion. A mellow cheese with acreamy texture, Gouda is recommended as a dessert with Front/Julia Paige Groce George Train^wtier ofPleasant Valley Dairy, explains the cheese-making process. fruit." "I like it with a nice ripe pear," Trainsaid. Farmstead is a special creation developed at Pleasant Valley. "I needed a recipe that would bepalatable, and I was just talking to the Lord about it, and this is what we came up with," Train said. Thecheese is made from French cultures and is a combination of cheddar and Gouda. The texture is morefirm and has a slightly tart flavor. Train suggests accompanying the cheese with an apple. Mutschli,pronounced Moo'shlee, is a firm, smooth cheese from the mountains of Switzerland. A cheese inspired by "the cows up in the Alps," Train describes the flavor as sweet and nut-like. Mutschli has some "eyes" init too. '"Eyes' are the holes that you see in cheeses like Swiss, where the bacteria has filled up withgas," Train said. "And Mutschli has very few eyes." George Train considers himself "semi-retired," so he and his daughter Joyce Snook job-share in the cheese-making process. "This way we don't have to doso much work," Snook said. The two begin with the fresh milk then add the specialized culturesdepending on the type of cheese to be created. Pleasant Valley also uses natural rennet, an additive inall cheese making processes, as opposed to manmade. "It's made from the stomach lining of a calfrather than chemicals, and it costs a lot more, but it's what allows the cheese to age better," Train said."A cheese can't age with manmade additives because it'll pick up a bitterness," he said. The cheesewheels are aged a niinimum of 60 days, but can remain in the aging room for as long as two years. "Theyounger the cheese, the milder it is," Train said. "Normally, younger people like the milder cheeses," headded. Pleasant Valley Dairy, located off Kickerville Road in Ferndale, offers a quiet alternative totraditional grocery store deli madness with a local flavor all its own. Visitors from across the nation havediscovered the quality associated with handmade cheese, and this delicious treasure is only a fewminutes up the highway. ---------- Western Front - 1997 July 30 - Page 6 ---------- 6 • THE WESTERN FRONT mmUmmmmX^ July 30. 1997 Students censored The Constitution,Supreme Court, State Supreme Court and the Western's Student Publications Council Charter have alldecided what is appropriate for a college publication to publish. Manager of Publishing Services RonBailey has decided that he and his employees think differently. Klipsun Magazine, a Western publication, has been refused publication by Western's Print Plant. Bailey arbitrarily decided not to print themagazine because of alleged pornographic art. His explanation of the controversy is that he believes hisemployees should not have to work with things that they find offensive. He and his employees have,therefore, become our saviors by protecting themselves and potential readers from this "art." I'm gladMr. Bailey does not work outside of the academic community. Nowhere else would breech of contractbe supported by a CEO or president. Our illustrious President Morse has indicated she is not going tohelp the student-run Klipsun or pay the cost overruns. Bailey's decision is forcing Klipsun to seek othersbidders to print the publication. He has stated that the print plant will not pay the difference if it costs more. I'm not a specialist in contract law, but I believe if you refuse to honor a contract, it has then beenbreeched. Who are the real losers here? Sarah Decker, the author of the Klipsun story, is losing achance to be published. Her story, which was coincidentally about censorship, will, at least, not befinished on time, if at all. The journalism department now has an unreliable publisher and must find a newone if the Western's Print Plant continues to choose to support censorship of student work. ; Studentswill either lose a campus magazine or have to fork over more money to have an outside printer produceKlipsun; The de facto censorship that Western's Print Plant has implemented raises some seriousissues, but more importantly student voices are being choked off by the institution that is supposed torepresent and encourage them.

EXIT WESTERNWASHINGTON UtU\rvRSi7Y rl£*T St^tHT PARKING SPOT 5 3 MILES Fare-free for futureCOMMENTARY President Clinton spoke to a group of the nation's, top scientists in a July 25 meeting at the White House. He stressed the point that climate change, due to global warming, "is no longer atheory but now a fact." In -1995 an international panel of 2,500 scientists debated the idea that carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere could lead to rising temperatures, causing higher sealevels and climate change. It was determined that human activity does influence global climate. TheUnited States generates more of these "greenhouse gases" that cause global warming than any othernation. At the Eighth International Global Warming Conference and Exposition held in May at NewYork's Columbia University, Wallace Broecker, professor of environmental sciences at ColumbiaUniversity, said, "The Earth's climate is an angry beast subject to unpredictable responses, and byadding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, we may be provoking the beast." According to the - winter1996 edition of World Watch magazine, the world automobile count has increased 10 times since1950, putting more than 500 million cars on the road today. The" emissions from this fleet generate 25-per7 cent of the world's greenhouse gases. In establishing a direct link between the number ofautomobiles on the road and global warming, science reinforces the fact that public transit plays avital role in the future health of the planet. In Whatcom County, the effects of global warming arebecoming more obvious as the glaciers in the Cascades recede. How can we get more people to usepublic transit and reduce the number of cars on the road? Four transit companies in Washington state think that the fare-free program provides an incentive for people to park their cars and use transit.According to the authors of "Environmental Problems and Human Behavior," Gerlad T. Gardener andPaul C. Stern, when dealing with consumer behaviors, barriers are low for inexpensive actions that areconvenient. The greatest public responses to environmental concerns are most likely to be those thatdo not cost any money, such as voting. Skagit County, Island County, Wennatchee and Shelton are allaccommodated by fare-free transit. These transit companies are very similar to Whatcom TransitAuthority in that they are private municipalities run on public funds through sales tax and licensingfees. Jim Lair,, executive director of Skagit Transit Authority, said that a board of directors withrepresentatives from all the city governments on the bus line and representatives from the countygovernment run the Skagit County system, which was christened "Skat" by the public in a namingcontest. "It is a public service we offer," Lair said. "Everybody should have mobility whether they havemoney or not. A fare is a barrier." While pollution reduction effects have not been quantified, theywere a consideration on the table when Skagit County began its fare-free transit system in 1993. Lastyear the "Skat" system saw a 53 percent increase in rider-ship over 1995. The system anticipates 1.6million rides in 1997. Liz Smith, accessibility specialist at Whatcom Transit Authority, said thattransit fare in Whatcom County is currently under review by the WTA board of directors. "The board of directors has always felt that people need to pay for what they get in the way of transit services, eventhough the system is subsidized by tax dollars," Smith said. "While fare-free transit is not out of thepicture, I would guess, the political climate being what it is, the board will probably not be inclined to gowith fare-free at this time." Fare-free transit would make Whatcom County part of a combined transiteffort that is growing in the state of Washington. This effort could expand into a nationwide influencewith potential for a significant impact on the problem of global warming. Public pressure could make adifference on WTA's review of transit fares this summer. ---------- Western Front - 1997 July 30 - Page 7 ---------- July 30. 1997 isspsswawi^^ THE WESTERN FRONT • 7 wmmmmmmmmm,. Adultery is addictiveRecovering from foot surgery, I eat Oreos while sitting on the couch with my foot propped by a pyramidof pillows oh the coffee table. Surfing through the channels, I suddenly screech to a halt on Oprah.Oprah is telling me to pay attention because, like usual, she has some earth-shattering news to share. Iwant to prepare myself for a Martha Stewart surprise visit, so I listen attentively to each and every one ofOprah's wise words. After all, I've been meaning to redecorate. Here's where Oprah tosses a hitch into my plans, denying me that surprise visit from the always inventive Ms. Stewart. The focus of Oprah'sshow is an in-depth examination into the growing problem of adultery in the work place. Apparently one-in-five men have had an adulterous affair with a fellow worker. Appalled at my fellow men, I disgustinglykill the TV for a bit and pick up the paper hoping for something a bit more intellectually stimulating.Front page news traditionally has included the biggest stories of the day. Today's paper showcases afew real gems; there's another tobacco industry settlement, children are shaken after flowers arescattered at a tribal cemetery and space rocks undergo the all-important analysis. As exciting as thesestories are, I fight my urge to read about rocks and move on to page two, then three, four, five, Zzzzz. Iam waken suddenly by the continued throbbing in my foot, so I take a look at page six where L read that Bill Cosby is involved in an extortion trial. Apparently a Ms. Autumn Jackson is claiming to be Cosby'sillegitimate daughter and threatening to go to the tabloid press unless she's paid a mere $24 million. With Cassandra, Denise, Theo, Vanessa and Rudy finally out of his hair, it doesn't surprise me thatCosby doesn't want anything to do with this extortionist nightmare claiming to be his daughter. Having finally found a story with a little excitement, I read on through threats and money to find out that Cosbyhas admitted to having an affair with the mother of Ms. Jackson. This can't be true I tell myself, the father of all '80s sitcom fathers can't be an adul-tere — not the Cos. Now discouraged, and even moreangered at men, I focus on the story directly under Cosby's bad news. Michael Kennedy, the son of lateRobert Kennedy, has really made his old man proud this time. Apparently Michael has also had anaffair, becoming yet another one-in-five statistic. Only this time, it's with his children's baby-sitter. Whatwas he thinking? Reaching for my package of Oreos, I find myself even more confused than usual.What is this world turning into? Everyone is having sex with everyone and, of all people, Oprah who iscurrently leading the list of single women in their 40s living with their mates, is telling us what a problemour society has become. Think about the dangers of adultery, people, before you end up making thevery same mistake. If it could happen to Bill Cosby, it can happen to anyone. Don't become astatistic.
