SecuritySgt. Andrew Rezansoff was checking the back side of the bookstore and found an open office window.At the same time, he saw a person walking rapidly away toward the Music Auditorium. Rezansoff calledto the youth and questioned him. "The kid's story sounded fishy," Security Lt. Lee Brown said, "soRezansoff called the Bellingham police, who are investigating the burglary." Brown said that about 1- feetfrom the window were two packsacks filled with about $311 worth of items taken from the bookstore,including calculators and magazines. Brown said Security had no definite idea how the person enteredthe bookstore. Faculty and staff members presently using the gym and locker rooms for free may soonfind themselves paying a yearly fee if the physical education department faculty gets its way. The fee,which hasn't been set but which has been suggested as $10 a year, would be charged for use of lockers and towels. Equipment clerk Ken Elvig said the charge would cover any loss of towels and "rent" of full-length lockers which some faculty and staff "get for a whole year and then rarely use." There is a greatdemand for lockers, department chairperson Margaret Aitken said, and such a fee would eliminate some users so other regular users could find empty lockers. The fee would compare to an art or technologyfee that would be charged to people using facilities in those departments, Elvig said. A similar chargewas suggested last year, but the physical education faculty never came to a decision. western frontVol. 66 No. 52 THURSDAY July 18, 1974 Ten Cents Recycle all paper Trucking: It's a different kind offreedom by STARBUCK GOODWYN John Henry Wills left Baltimore, Md., at 6 a.m. on Monday. Beforedawn Thursday he pulled into the truck terminal at Tracey, Calif. Wills and his second driver had pushedtheir tractor-trailer rig more than 3,000 miles across the country in three days. As the owner of the rig,Wills would be paid 40 cents a mile for pulling 40,000 pounds of explosives from coast to coast. Willsfigured $400 a day wasn't bad wages. Before sundown he would be loaded and stretched out on anotherrun. He sat in the comfortable drivers lounge at the terminal and over coffee talked about his job. "A man can make a hell'uva lot of money in a short time," his voice assumed a cautious edge, "if his luck holdsout. Hell, there must be a hundred fellers a day trying to buy rigs-and lease them to big companies."Three-quarters of them never get the money. It takes a lot of faith to loan somebody $35,000 to buy a rig that may end up over the mountain on the first run." Wills said he got in the trucking business after hecame back from Vietnam and couldn't get a job. "The money looked good, and what the hell, I kinda liked the idea of running the road â€” you know, different town and woman each night." According to Wills, itdoesn't work out like that. He had made $1,200 on the last trip, but wages for the other driver, diesel fuel, repair and depreciation on his rig, insurance, fines, truck-stop food prices and other expenses would cut his net to less than 50 per cent of the gross profit. "Women. Forget it, man. When we're high-ballingacross the country with a load of priority freight we sure as hell can't stop and diddle around. Then whenwe're in the terminal waiting for a load, we're afraid to get too far away from the dispatcher." Wills talkedabout some of the discomforts that go into making $400 a day. "One dammed thing is I'm always sleepy. We drive four hours and go to the sleeper (a narrow curtained space behind the tractor seat) four THISIS HOME â€” The big cab has to be comfortable. It's the driver's home, office, and workshop, photo by J.E. McCartney hours. The rig is usually pirching and bucking, the stack (exhaust pipe) runs right besidethe sleeper, and just about the time I get to sleep the other driver is sure to slam on his brakes or wakeme up to ask some asinine question." "And dirty man!" Most of the truck stops nave showers, but Willssaid when he is under a load, pulling cargo to an assigned destination, it simply costs him too muchmoney to shut the rig down for a luxury item like a shower. What about the danger in trucking? Willsbecame uncomfortable. His six-foot frame moved restlessly in the lounge chair and he stroked a brightnew scar that ran across his sharp cheek bone. "Figure it this way. A driver is riding on 1,800 pounds ofair, and one of them big tires can blow just any time. If it's on the tractor driving wheels (the rear wheels)#r on the trailer maybe it's not going to be bad, but buddy, if one of the front steering tires go when the rig is rolling at 50 or 60 m.p.h., you might as well sell the craphouse, cause you ain't gonna need it nomore. " I got this scar over in Kansas when I blew a front tire and I figure I was damned lucky." Why domany truckers stay on the road year after year, in view of the discomforts and dangers? Wills' voicesounded bemused. "I guess an outsider can never really know what it's like." He relaxed and lookedtoward the ceiling, talking to himself. "For one thing it's the power. It's a great feeling knowing that you're in complete control of 72,000 pounds of surging metal and high explosives. "That's one part of it.Another is the freedom. As long as a trucker does his job, he's pretty damned well his own boss. "Butthe biggie â€” the thing you can't really tell somebody else â€” is the way it makes your gut laugh just tosit up there 10 feet off the ground and float along over the road and look down at all the little people intheir little sedans. "We're a different breed of cat and we know it. We look down on them people, going to the same old job, getting off and going home to sleep in the same little old bed." Wills stopped andshook his bead. "What a drag man. Miserable. None of that crap for me." An impersonal voice came over the intercom that hung on the lounge wall over our heads. "Tractor number 3038. Driver, John HenryWills. Load of bombs for Indian Head, Maryland. Thirty-nine thousand pounds. Delivery time noonMonday? Wills got up, stretched lazily and walked through the door to pursue his life â€” of freedom.

Final campus approval rests with the Board of Trustees at itsAugust meeting before it must be presented to the Council on Higher Education in October. Senateapproval was subject to the appropriation of appropriate funds from the state legislature. Concern wasvoiced that funds would be taken away from existing programs to support the doctorate. Peter Elich,chairman of the psychology faculty, said his department was willing to sponsor the program only ifadditional funds were available. It was pointed out that though the legislature has been hesitant toapprove large budgets for departments in general, it has been generous in the past several mo nths infunding specific projects, such as the masters program in social work at Eastern Washington StateCollege. The doctorate program, approved in May by the Graduate Council and last month by theAcademic Coordinating Committee, was authorized by the state legislature in 1969. The approval cameso that professionals would be more prepared to serve the needs of public schools they work in. AlanRoss, dean of the graduate school, noted at the senate's June 24 meeting that Washington has laggedbehind in this area of service. The state producies fewer doctorates in education than other, lesspopulous states such as Oregon and Colorado, he said. Many of Washington's people must now go outof state to prepare to work in the public schools, he said, and since out-of-state tuitions are higher, " i tbecomes a kind of burden." Copies of an early proposal were sent to other colleges and universities fortheir opinions. Some negative comments were returned which said a state college would be stepping outof its place to offer a doctorate. But many constructive comments were received. Some have been usedin preparing the present proposal, which has been highly praised^ by the dean of the school of educationat Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif. The new doctorate, the only one of its kind in the state, wouldemphasize both research and learning which are not always available to people with master's degrees inschool psychology. Competency in research is essential, Elich said, so they will be prepared to transmitas much knowledge to the public schools as is necessary. Benefits of the program, which would startfall of 1975, to the rest of the college would be great. Instead of detracting from existing programs, itwould help, according to Norval Pielstick of psychology and a prime backer of the proposal. The collegewould become eligible for almost $400,000 in funds over a two-year period if the proposal is approved.Students in other departments would benefit from about 26,000 volumes that would be added to WilsonLibrary. Two additional faculty members and stipends for graduate assistantships would also be provided, he added. skywater festival atBhine Meditation releases stress kicks off this weekend Pirates, parades and plane rides will kick off the Blaine Skywater Festival tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.

During meditation the body is in the deepest state of rest,even more restful than sleep. Scientific studies have found that transcendental meditation benefits thosewho suffer from ulcers, migraine headaches or troubled sleep. The central nervous system and body are intimately connected.

Older kite flyers are building their own kites and the complexity of designs andspecifications is growing. There are three essentials to a kite. A kite must have wing surface shaped sothat it gains lift from a breeze, it must be tethered and it needs a bridle that holds the face of the kite atan angle to the wind. Twisted nylon line on a bamboo reel can hold your kite. Some people use fishingline and reels. The choice ot papers and fabrics of which kites can be made makes the hand-made kitean object of art. But the design used may require some technical knowledge. There are three basictypes of kites: box, flat and sled. Box kites were developed in 1878 by Laurence Hargrave.

As the kite is launched, the pockets fill with air, lifting the kite. It was developed by DominaJalbert, an aeronautical engineer. The American Kitefliers Association publishes Kite Tales four times ayear. It offers tips on flying and plans for building kites. An Encyclopeadia also has plans for kites. Thefirst rule of kite flying is stay clear of trees, telephone lines, roads and airplane traffic. A kite that takes asudden dive into the path of a vehicle can be dangerously distracting. Trees and electric power lines eatkites. Also, the kite won't fly unless it's clear of surrounding buildings. Remember also that except for 29 cent cheapo, almost any kite will fly. Too often, the flyer gives up too soon, blaming his failure on adefective kite. Kite flying takes skill, practice and patience. Get a line that has a test pound three timesthe frontal area of your kite. That, will give you a little more than you need. You can fly a kite right out ofyour hand by you're gonna get plucked nately called the 'wierd tanley Park Zoo where he lat they had to say. holding it up to the wind and feeding the line out as the kite takes it. Don't give it too much tension. If there's not as much wind as you would like, you can have somebody take the kite and go downwind100 feet. They hold it up until a wind comes along and then toss it up. That gets your kite up 100 feet.The rest is relatively easy. Giving your kite a series of short â€¢ little jerks will also get the kite up overthe ground winds. Below 100 feet, the w ind is affected by buildings and other things on the ground.Above 100 feet, the wind is rairly steady and kite flying is not much trouble. Remember not to judge thewind by how you feel. Look up and see if the tops of the trees are rustling. Winds moving 13 to 15 m.p.h.are considered by kiter flyers to be heavy winds. These winds are suited to box kites, parafoils and bullits (a combination parafoil with airfoils and sled). In light winds, four to seven m.p.h., try flat kites andfighters. Tetrahedrals, deltas and Eddy kites are fine for medium wind days, eight to 12 m.p.h. Youshould also consider what the kite is made of. A cloth kite will handle heavier wind than a paper one.Size has little to do with how much wind it will take. Each kite is an individual according to kite flyerMarg. Parsons, a junior in education at Fairhaven. "Kites are still pretty much a hand-made commodity," she said. When you make a kite, she said, you've got to make allowances for error; no two kites arealike. Each flies a little bit differently. "You've got to accept the challenge of each kite," she explained,"test out how it's going to act. Ask yourself: What can I expect from this kite? Just like making a newfriend." paf gt;Â£r .Scrips ABOVE â€” Made of tissue paper, this kite can be made for about 25 cents. It should be flown with the dowels up. Scotch tape will hold the dowels and tails in place. BELOW - Thiscloth wing delta kite with a tail is called Alice's delta.

Nation-wide upsets and a turn to the right in British Columbia failed to put Progressive Conservative candidate Robert Stanfield into Canadian prime ministership. In fact,Pierre Elliott Trudeau finally got a majority government in the July 8 election. In a campaign periodovershadowed with doubts about voter trends, there was no indication that the people of British Columbia and Alberta would strike such a devastating blow to the New Democratic Party. British Columbiareturned 13 Progressive Conservatives, eight Liberals, two New Democratic Party and no Social Credit.The NDPers dropped to 136,405 popular votes or about 23 per cent from the 1972 standing of 332,245seats or about 35 per cent. analysis by GRAHAM MAC DOlSIELL Premier Dave Barrett has steadfastlydeclared that he will not change the direction of the government, despite the shattering setback votershanded his federal party on election night. David Lewis, national NDP leader lost his seat in what must be the biggest individual upset in recent electoral history. The giant killer was a 44-year-old housewife,Ursula Appolloni, who won the Toronto-York South seat for the Liberals. While the NDP count wentdown, the Conservative went up. From 313,253 seats in the '72 election (33 per cent) to 250,730 (43 percent) this time, the B.C. electorate showed a trend that was shared in Alberta and Ontario. The figuresquoted are from the number of popular votes, hence, less people voted in this election than the '72 one.Alberta returned a complete Conservative backing â€” all 19 seats went to the Progressive Conservatives. Despite the trend in the West, the general Canadian trend showed the Conservatives down by 12 seatsfrom 107 to 95. Trudeau's cabinet is missing one person. And, perhaps, there is more than meets theeye in the identity of that defeated cabinet minister when one examines his portfolio (or department). The minister in question is Environment Minister Jack Davis who was beaten by Tory (Conservative)businessman Ron Huntington, in Norh Vancouver's Capilano riding. Out of it all. Prime Minister PierreElliott Trudeau was returned to power with 141 seats, a majority government and a personal vicotry â€” a revitalized interest of the Canadian voter in its former swinging bachelor turned happily married husbandand father. Party leader Robert Stanfield's inability to sell the Canadian people on price and incomecontrols, and party dissension, contributed to his defeat. Both party leaders, Lewis and Stanfield havenot commented on quitting as yet, but it has been predicted that by the next election both theConservatives and the NDP will have new federal leaders. The issue of environment, especially control ofthe supertankers along B.C.'s coast is a 'sensitive one with the people of Canada's most "beautiful"province. Although the Liberal cabinet ministership will soon be filled, the issue will remain a delicate onein the relationships between Ottawa and Washington, Victoria and Olympia. The loss of this seat maybe grossly overlooked by many political analysts, but some how a dark, black cloud seems to becollecting on the horizon. Soon, it may be a thunderhead, and with British Columbia taking a step to the"right", lightning may strike and polarize an already weakening relationship. The next provincial election in British Columbia will show just how big that "step" to the "right" really is. ---------- Western Front - 1974 July 18 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Thursday, July 18,1974 arts entertainment by MARK SHERMAN Neil Young ismissing.

In fact,just like Alfalfa - except for those double-wide, four-by-four mutton chops hanging from his cheeks andthe sunglasses. The In Vancouver: CSN Y...Where's Young ? sunglasses really play hell with the OurGang image. You see the piano player is wearing these one-way mirror shades that pop out of his facelike two little shiny hubcaps on either side of his nose. Very cool. The first song is over. The applauseis deafening and the group, not even waiting for the noise to die out, kicks into "Wooden Ships." Just the three of them: Crosby, Stills and Nash. Where's Young? * * * * * "Wooden Ships" doesn't do very well tonight. Crosby's voice is pathetically out of tune. StiHs falters in and out of key, the melody linefishtailing like a rambler on an ice flow. After "Wooden Ships" there is a moment's delay while the group gets reorganized for the next tune. Now, the really confusing moment of the evening occurs. The Alfalfa look-alike comes from behind the piano, straps on a guitar and steps to the microphone. For aboutthree seconds you can't figure what he's doing up front in the spotlight. Only it's so obvious. This mutton chopped visitation from the past i s . . . Neil Young. And right away all four of them, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, sing into "Immigration Man." The pace does not even allow you a moment to adjust. But of course it's him. He's even wearing the Patches, the Neil Young After-The-Gold-rush- Patches. C,S,N Y sound, for some reason, like the band that practices in the basement across the street, whipping intoa third-rate imitation of the group that recorded "Deja Vu." They fumble their way into "Cowgirl in theSand." The solos are hesitant and unsure. After it's over Graham Nash says, "Forgive us if theperfection isn't there. The spirit really is." Nash is trying to be reassuring but it sounds a mite hollow. Hegoes on to explain that David Crosby has a sore throat, that in fact, "We all do." * * * Stills, Nash andCrosby are clustered around the mikes at center stage. David Crosby is sitting, Nash standing, leaningforward a little and Stills sitting across from them with his guitar. The harmonies are tight, the guitarworks so good you don't even feel like talking about it. Stills plays a guitar break that is the first genuine high point of the concert. His fingers snap out a flood of hard, lyrical passages, the notes paying out ina very real, emotional currency. After all the things you have thought about this g r o u p t o n i g h t , the disenchantment, the boredom, to remember how good these players are and can be comes as a rushof relief. You're just a little less hard boiled than when you walked in. But the crowd definitely issomewhere else. The beast is out, of the closet now and through the next two songs, "HelplesslyHoping" and "Blackbird," it is doing little solos of its own, punctuating the songs with bluegrass shoutsand requests for songs. Young sings, " . . . I got lost on the human highway/take my head refreshingfountain/take my eyes from what they've seen/take my head and change my mind/how could people beso unkind?" And for a while the audience seems cowed, ashamed perhaps, like a drunk coming into amoment of self-possession after a long evening of vk 'ence realizing momentarily that he's spent hisbirthright penny-cheap. The battle with catcallers is the only mar in this set. Again, Crosby has to askfor quiet. Saying, "You know who you are . . . the ones in the quaalude sector." Right in the middle ofsinging Joni Mitchell's "For Free" he stops, saying that he just can't play if there is going to be a"wrestling match about who's going to stand and who's going to sit." And so it goes. Still, the set isbrilliant. C,S,N Y are the best acoustic group in the country. It's only when they bring their electricmaterial down off the albums and lug it up on stage that things get ugly. Last number. They pound theirway into "Carry on" displaying in a single tune all of the incompetencies that have marked the amplifiedmusi6 tonight. Ambitiously, or so it seems, they attempt to augment their already impressive list ofstrike-outs. Every time this group flips the toggle switches on their amps a weird Jeckell and Hydetransformation takes place. Suddenly Crosby can't remember how to sing, Young fumbles aroundscrewing up the riffs he is trying to play and the entire group begins to show off that disillusioning hackmusician vibe again. At 12:15 the show ends. The group leaves the stage and the push for an encorebegins. But if you slip out now there is a chance slim perhaps, but a chance, that you can ease outahead of the heavy traffic. The thought of an encore and the suspense of those little switches is toomuch to take.

While the Guadalajara Instructional Center operates year round, fall quarter(September 26-December 8) is. well suited both for students and for teachers who wish to deepen andbroaden their educational and cultural experiences. The program offers a wide variety of fully accreditedcourses. The courses are chosen for their greater value and relevance if taught in Mexico rather than inthe Northwest. Areas represented include art, anthropology, biology, geography, geology, history,economics, Spanish language and literature and Latin American Studies. Formal instruction in theSpanish language is greatly reinforced and intensified by daily contact with Mexican life and businesses, the growth of cross-cultural friendships, and the optional opportunity to live with a Mexican family.

Students taking part in the program take a two-week study tour to the Yucatan bychartered bus. The tour features visits to the major pre-Columbian ruins as a part of a Mesoamerican pre-history course. Students not enrolled in this particular course may accompany the study/tour uponrequest and generally find many aspects of the trip relevant to their particular areas of study. Closer tothe study site are fascinating tours to artisan centers in and around Guadalajara including Tlaquepaque -â€” where pottery, glass, leather and silver workmanship is done. Students may take classes in weaving, art, pottery, glass blowing and other crafts from Mexican artisans. Other fields in part quarters haveincluded visits to San Miguel de Allende, an internationally known art center, a field hike down the"barranca," a gorge often termed the "grand canyon of Mexico," visits to various mining centers andtours to other important artisan centers such as Tlaquepaque, Tonala, Jocotepec, Parzcuaro and Morelia.

The senate did just that Monday in order to approve the doctorate proposal. Just before the vote, a careful count showed only 19 senators werepresent, two short of a quorum. Senator George Gerhold pointed out that one way to get around aquorum count would be to count some members gone for the summer as "non members." So PresidentFlora, who is on vacation this, month, and a professor doing reresearch in the East were temporarilydropped off the membership list so the vote could be taken. Some people look down their noses at thissort of action, and sometimes rightfully so. But this was one of those times when there was noalternative, except to not vote. Western stands to gain a lot from such a program. Not just the psychstudents, who obviously will be offered a great opportunity to increase their expertise, but the wholecollege. About 26,000 volumes will be added to the library â€” books that will aid not just the psychdepartment but anyone who needs the research material they contain. Money for two faculty memberswill be provided; and in this time of faculty cuts and salary losses, that alone would be a great gain.Stipends for graduate assistantships would allow the faculty to spend more valuable time with thestudents. Western also stands to gain a lot of prestige. It will be the only school in the state with thistype of program. The timing Monday was crucial. The senate had to act or risk delaying or possiblylosing the program. The corner cutting was necessary â€” this time. It's not a good practice to get intothough. A better way would be to allow proxy votes, or at least to notify members an important vote iscoming up, so that they might try to attend.

I think I found out when I tried to plan a picnic andcouldn't get things to work out: Our technology, often called the most advanced in the world, is totallydisorganized. Two weeks ago, when there was plenty of sun, some friends and I decided to go to thebeach for a wiener roast. Because it was my idea, I had to buy the food. No problem. I'll just grab somewieners, buns and soft drinks and that will be it. However, it had been a long time since payday, so I had to try to plan exactly. There would be ten of us, and I thought everybody would like to have two ofeverything. So I started figuring. Let's see, wieners come 10 to a package, so that's easy, twopackages. Then the problems started. You get eight buns to a package, and two packages won't giveyou enough for 20 wieners, and three packages leaves some leftover buns. Same thing with the drinks:Three six-packs are not enough, and four of them are too much. Well, I told myself, I guess I can split asix-pack, but what can I do with the buns? Ah, maybe not everybody will want two hotdogs! But then, if Ionly take. 16 buns, that leaves four wieners. I realized I had a real problem. None of the industriesproducing wieners, buns and drinks had ever gotten together to organize things. I was in trouble. By thistime, I was starting to be shaken up. As far as I am concerned, there are two alphabets in English,letters and numerals. I can work a typewriter, but not an adding machine. What could I do? I couldn'tmake the figures match up. Tell everybody to bring their own? No, that would only be passing the buck.Call the party off? I didn't want to do that, but considering the way things were going I was feeling like it. And then it came to me in a flash. I wouldn't have to call the party off, but we wouldn't have wieners. Iput down the pencil I had in my hand and picked up a phone book. It looks like American technologytriumphed in spite of the disorganization: Let's see... yellow pages . . . pizzas . . . yeah, pizza .

The above statistics are based ona favorable response from the board. Names of faculty reduced in assignment in full or in part appearing in media external to the campus and in the Front (July 11) were not provided to those sources by theadministration of Western.

Letters must be250 words or less and must be signed with name and academic department. Names can be withheld forsufficient reason, but anonymous letters will not be printed. Recent budget cutbacks charged bothunethical and undemocratic Editor, Western Front: It is my opinion that the process of deciding whichprofessors are let go due to thee recent financial cutbacks at Western are both unethical andundemocratic. Whoever chose the 14 professors that were recently dropped are also pretty stupid. Acase in point is the release of the English department's Reed Merrill. Although "they" have decided not to cut him entirely from the department, it would not surprise me if he decided to leave anyway. Merrill isunequivocally the most intriguing, best informed, most inspirational professor I have ever had at Western. Anyone I have talked to who has experienced his classes (and those who are familiar with hisreputation) agree. I imagine the people, whoever they are, who decided to give Merrill and his consortsthe ax never consulted a student, never discussed the professor's attributes with fellow professors, andmost importantly never came close to the same classroom those professors were teaching in. I suggestthe best and most qualified judges of deciding which professors must go are the students. We are theones most aware of the flaws and attributes that make up a teacher; and we deserve, and demand, asay in who stays and who goes. Michael P. Baron junior

The Western FrontWESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TUEDAY â€” FEBRUARY 7,1995 VOLUME 91, ISSUE 8 Citywouldn't keep quake at bay By Dave Henken Front reporter The recent earthquakes in Kobe, Japan, and near Seattle have again raised concerns about the impact of a local quake. Western geology professorDave Engebretson has no doubt Bellingham will soon suffer a quake large enough to destroy parts oftown. "We are due," Engebretson said. Engebretson said even a relatively small or distant quake could cause serious damage because much of the land surrounding Bellingham Bay is artificial fill. "Artificialfill is a bowl of jelly," Engebretson said. "Shake it and you get all sorts of effectsâ€” constructive anddestructive interference. (Georgia Pacific) could sink right beneath the ground." Technically, thisphenomenon is known as liquefaction. Bellingham's landfills are unconsolidated, meaning there arespaces between the soil particles. These spaces fill with water. When agitated, the mixture will becomea liquefied "quicksand," unable to support any load. Empty submerged tanks may bob to the surface,and buildings can quickly sink or slide. Much of the damage in the recent Kobe quake was in the city' s harbor and due to liquefaction. Engebretson said that in Kobe's case, the landfill was laid down naturally by glaciers but was still unconsolidated. Bellingham has duplicated conditions for adisaster by lining itsbay with fill. Engebretson said that a sizable quake â€” 6 or 7 on the Richter scale â€” with an epicenteras far away as Seattle or Vancouver could cause liquefaction in Bellingham. Such quakes have beenreported roughly every 10 to 30 years, with the last in 1965. A more locally centered quake measuringas low as 3 or 4 could also cause the fill to liquefy, Engebretson said. Seismic waves from such a quake would only be a thousandth as strong as those from the Kobe quake. As Bellingham's senior environental planner, Chris Spens is familiar with the variety of ground surfaces surrounding the bay. Bluffs visible from lower Holly Street and the Squalicum Parkway mark the approximate boundary of theoriginal shore, Spens said. The fills are of many different kinds and ages, including five garbage wastelandfills. One of these is beneath the Shrimp Shack restaurant on Holly Street and another beneath theold Bellingham Sash and Door See Slide, page 4 Seismic hazard areas If an earthquake were to hitBellingham, the harbor area around Bellingham Bay has been classified by the Bellingham Planning Department as being highly susceptible to danger. _ Key: Very high High E3 Moderate â€¢ Lowsource: Bellingham Planning Department Front/Ryan McMenamin Unity dinner celebrates soul of Blackhistory By Marlese Webb Front reporter A crowd of about 100 people gathered Sunday night in theViking Union Main Lounge to celebrate African-American culture in a fundraiser for Western' s AfricanAmerican Alliance. The event was also sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement ofColored Persons and the Whatcom Hispanic Association. "Celebration of Soul" was this year's themefor the evening of a dinner, speech and choir music, which has been a part of Black History Month for atleast six years, said LaShawn Morgan, aliance president and a senior majoring in law and diversity atFairhaven. "The meaning of Black History Month is how we all come together in celebration of African-American culture, African- American heritage," she said, adding part of the celebration is in recognition of those who helped African-Americans get where they are today. Stacia Neal, a sophomore and alliancevice president, opened the evening by offering her definition the term "soul." "Soul is eternal; it cannot betraced to its point of origin, nor does it reach a point of exhaustion," Neal said. "It's the spark thatpushes you and drives you to succeed, despite all the forces that try to send you back to start. "ForAfrican-Americans, our soul is our legacy. Soul is not learned; it is personal. It is in our hearts, ourminds. It's something that we live everyday and, therefore, it needs to be celebrated." Dinner was servedby members of other campus ethnic clubs. The meal included rice and beans, cornbread, seasonedturnip greens with Cajun sausage and baked chicken. A dessert of strawberry cheesecake â€” the onlynon-traditional soul food â€” finished the meal. After dinner, the gathering moved to the Performing ArtsCenter for See Soul, page 4 Carver construction bogs down, gets back on track Front/Collin Coyne Theâ‚¬arver Gym addition is scheduled to be done in July. Building on 'Jell-O' support isn 't easy By TimFarley Front reporter Although problems have come up delaying the effort, construction to expandCarver Gym's athletic offices should be finished on time in July. The project was delayed for threeweeks after drills hit an unknown concrete sewer line and foundation pilings. The pipe has been replaced and construction continued. The gym rests on a giant peat bog on top of solid bedrock. "It's terrible forsupporting anything," said Sherrie White, senior architect of Western's Physical Plant. "It's like Jell-O."Remodeling also had been difficult because workers are trying to match gym construction to previousadditions. "There are so many different disparate elements from different eras, which is always tricky,"White, said. Despite the setbacks, the $325,000 project continues. Five existing offices are beingremodeled, and five new offices are being created. Ahallway will also be created to connect offices. Theaddition will be located near Bond Hall. It will cover some of the patio "area on the gym's north side.Smaller windows will take the place of the previous large window facing the old courtyard. Also, smallskylights will be put in each office to take full advantage of natural light, White said. Walls around thegym's entrance will get insulation where none was previously. "It will be much more energy efficient.We're increasing the insulation value of the whole area. It used to be lousy," White said. Constructionbegan early in November, sending the varsity athletic office to Haggard Hall 207 and the campusrecreation office to High Street Hall 44, 45 and 46. ---------- Western Front - 1995 February 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ NEWS The Western Front â€” February 7, 1995 Campus Police Feb. 2,10:20 a.m.: An unknownperson or persons damaged the high-capacity paper trays on a copy machine in Parks Hall.

Soul, continued from page 1 entertainment. Thekeynote speech was given by Paul Delaney, chairman of the journalism department at the University ofAlabama and former reporter and editor for The New York Times. Delaney encouraged cooperationbetween all races. "The problems of the 21st century will not be solved by one race," he said. "It willtake everyone." He encouraged students to take full advantage of their college years, which hedescribed as "the freest period of your life." "You can make mistakes and Quake: all downhill from hereSlide, continued from page 1 building downtown. Spens said some of the- fills are up to 140 years oldâ€” and the older fills are the least stable. "They were built by exporting waste material from furtherinland," Spens said. "Old buildings, concrete, asphalt, junk, topsoil, what have you. The method of yorewas to build up a perimeter and contain the toe of the fill, and then throw out your dead and build up abig bulk mass and then maybe finish it off with a structural top. "It's better than total randomness, butnot by much. Those things are kind of waiting time bombs," he said. Squalicum Harbor and other newer landfills have been constructed by a method known as dewatering, Spens said. Sediment from the bayis sucked over a barrier and allowed to settle. Water will eventually seep out of the layer. After one ortwo years, the fill has "cured" and the land can be used. These fills are more stable than the older sites,but still very susceptible to liquefaction, Spens said. Spens explained sinking pilings into the fill untilthey hit bedrock is the best solution when building on a landfill. This has been done for many GPfacilities. More than a thousand pilings were driven, for example, to support the new natural gascogeneration facility. The pilings were sunk to depths of 80 to 130 feet and rest on Chuckanutsandstone. Spens said this method is effective but expensive. He noted it isn't a workable solution formore northern and western areas of fill, such as Squalicum Harbor. In these areas bedrock is too deep.Other strategies are available for building stable structures on landfill, but are of no benefit during anearthquake, Spens said. "There's a lot of structure out there that's threatened by any kind of mildearthquake â€” something "We feel like we would just be in hazard soup along with everybody else." â€” Orman Darbyl GP public relations director around a 6.0," Spens said. Western's campus is rated aslow risk for earthquake damage, according to city documents. But Spens said events around the baywould be impressive during a quake. "What's sort of exciting about the situation, if-you like massdisaster, is that as you head out 300 to 1,000 feet, all of a sudden you start to get to the deep end of the pool. "The bottom native material is already contoured with a natural slope, and it's just waiting to rollout or slide out if something gets shaken. And the place it will slide out to is the middle of the bay," hesaid. Spens echoed Engebretson's concern about Georgia Pacific, whose Bellingham facility is built'entirely on landfill. A particular worry is chlorine gas, which the mill produces in large quantities. GPPublic Relations Director Orman Darby said that the plant's chlorine facility is among those structuresbuilt on pilings driven to bedrock. He also noted the containment vessels are constructed of inch-thickarmoured plate. "They could tumble end-over-end down Cornwall and not have a problem," Darby said.Darby said piping in the chlorine facility features ball check valves designed to stop leaks if a line shouldrupture. The plant has an on-site emergency response team, and thorough disaster plans for allemployees, with daily and weekly drills. Darby admitted GP's location is a dangerous one in the event of a quake, but he noted a large quake would cause hazardous situations throughout the city. "A fire inany building that has an asphalt roof can be putting off very dangerous odors â€” frankly, gasses that are just as bad or worse than chlorine," Darby said. "Chlorine is not exceptionally worse than, say, burning plastics. You can get cyanide and other gasses," he said. "If the wind is coming out Of the east, andblowing the smoke from downtown onto us, we'll be very distressed with the town. We will not expect tobe held harmless here. We feel like we would just be in hazard soup along with everybody else." recover when you're young," he said. He also admonished students to prepare for the reality of working in amulticultural world, where they could be working with a colleague or supervisor whose skin is a differentshade. "Deal with racial issues now and may be, just maybe, you'll be a better generation than wewere," Delaney said. After Delaney's speech, the Washington State Mass Children's Choir got thecrowd clapping and swaying with the beat of its energetic gospel music. The 35-member group sangseveral selections, from variations on classics such as "Jesus Loves Me" to modern rap songs. Thechoir, which is about a year and a half old, has members who range in age from toddlers to adolescents. Choir Director Troy Wright sai the choir hopes to convey the gospel message and to show people anexample of youth who have a positive message, in contrast to the negative view of youth that he said ispopular in modern media. Neal said the African Front/Loc Nguyen Paul Delaney American Alliance tries to get gospel choirs to perform because music and faith have always been important bulwarks of African culture. Morgan said she wishes black history was given more than a month-long celebration. "Itshould be celebrated everyday ... more than one month," she said. Neal agreed. "Our culture doesn' tcome and go in a month... we're black all year round," she said. Thomas E.

Olson Front reporter Western has one of only two Canadian- American studies centers in the United Statesdesignated by the federal government as resource centers for the study of Canada, according to theJanuary 1995 Business Pulse Magazine. "The point of the program is to educate American studentsabout Canada and its political system," said Donald Alper, director of Canadian studies and professor ofpolitical science at Western. "We offer a major and minor in Canadian studies. We also have courses injust about every department," Alper said. Alper said a $6,000 grant from the Canadian government willhelp the Canadian American Studies Center co-sponsor Border Demographics and RegionalInterdependency: A Tri-national Symposium Feb. 16-18 at Western. The symposium will attempt toestablish links between Canada, the United States and Mexico and will include professor exchanges,collaborative programs, internships and student exchanges. "This is a very important topic because itdeals with things that are very current (such as) immigration issues," Alper said. "After the last election,and what's happened in California with immigration as a political issue, obviously immigration is a bigissue today in American politics." James Loucky, interim director of Western's Center for InternationalStudies and Programs, said the CISP is co-sponsoring the symposium along with the CanadianAmerican Studies Center. Loucky said the school and faculty will benefit from the internationalexchanges. Western students returning from Canada or Mexico can provide expertise andencouragement to other students in the form of talks, speeches and panel discussions. â€”â€”â€”"The benefit to students will be tremendous," Loucky said. "Not only will they get travel-abroadexperience, but it will be in the context of developing professional skills in a work situation in a foreigncountry." Alper said the Canadian Studies program should try to expand its goals to include Mexico'sperspective in light of the North American Free Trade Agreement. It would establish ties for students andfaculty with Mexican and Canadian institutions and would create a tri-national program. "It wasn't addingMexico (to the symposium) so much as it was recognizing that Mexico has always been an integral part of North America. (The U.S.) has had some cultural blinders to that," Loucky said. "Trade has increased greatly in recent years," he said. "For example, Mexico has become Washington state's second majortrade partner, after Canada, (and has moved) in front of Japan." In addition to Loucky's insight on foreignaffairs, Alper said, "There's the "Trade has increased greatly in recent years. For example, Mexico hasbecome Washington state's second major trade partner, after Canada, (and has moved) in front of Japan." â€” James Loucky Interim director, Western's Center for International Studies and Programs possibilityof building a stronger North American studies program on (Western's) campus, where we' 11 be able tooffer courses â€” existing courses as well as new courses â€” with greater North American content,maybe courses on cross-cultural relations. It's a way of strengthening the curriculum here at Western."NAFTA will also affect the possibility of future internship exchange, Alper said. "It's easier to do nowbecause of NAFTA," Alper said. "It's the university's effort to internationalize the curriculum." Alper saidrecent grants have helped to support and establish programs such as the Tri-national Symposium. TheU.S. Department of Education and the Canadian government have provided the program with grantstotaling close to $100,000. Alper said the university setting allows a variety of activities. "You want aplace where there's a lot of experimentation, there's a lot of trial and error, a lot of innovation in terms ofnew ideas and programs," he said. "Grants are often the only way you can do that." The CanadianStudies program usually has a total of 15 majors and minors. Hundreds of other students take at leastone course in the field Katharine Cornfield, is a research and course assistant and Canadian exchangestudent from Trent University. â€”â€”â€” Cornfield wrote the bibliography for the symposium and isbasing much of her thesis upon it. She said she thought it would be nice to get the American perspective of Canada and to give Western students her views on Canada. "As a Canadian, I'm surprised thatpeople don't know more about Canada, especially in Washington because it is a border state," Cornfieldsaid.

The celebration was a fundraisersponsored by Western's Vietnamese Student Association and by the Vietnamese Association ofWhatcom County. About 800 people attended the event, said Pham Tinh, president of VAWC. TheVietnamese New Year began on Jan. 31. The celebration continues for about two weeks. The New Yearis probably the most important holiday in Vietnam, comparable to the importance of Christmas inAmerica, Tinh said. He said the holiday is particularly important to Vietnamese young people raised inAmerica because it's a way for their parents and grandparents to share their roots with them. QuyenPham, VSA president, said she was born in Vietnam, but has spent almost all of her life in the UnitedStates, where Western culture prevails. The junior education major said New Year is important to herbecause it's a way of celebrating her heritage. "It's my culture," Quyen said. The Vietnamese holiday isbased on the Chinese calendar, which is a lunar Front/Loc Nguyen Dragon dancers greet the New Year. calendar, rather than a solar one. The date of the New Year corresponds with the lunar equinox, which is usually around the first part of February, Tinh said. He said Vietnamese astrology has 12 animals, each of which represents a year in turn. The boar is the last animal in the cycle. Children are thought to havethe characteristics of the animal in whose year they were born. Those born during the Year of the Boartend to be lazy, but happy, he said. Tinh said the New Year is also significant because Vietnameseconsider it the beginning of spring. Yellow flowers similar to cherry blossoms are traditional at New Year celebrations because they are symbolic of spring. Family is also an important part of the celebration.Candles were lighted and incense sticks burned at the beginning of the event. Candles are traditional atimportant Vietnamese ceremonies, and incense is burned to invite the spirits of participants' ancestorsto join the festivities. Older members of the audience came to the front of the auditorium to take part in a popular familial New Year tradition. Their grandchildren came and stood -before them, wishing themblessings such as longevity, wealth and happiness for the coming year. In return, the grandparents gavethe children red envelopes filled with small amounts of money. The grandparents then gave red envelopes to any family with children who came up to get the gifts. Tri Nguyen, a senior in the law and diversityprogram at Fairhaven, said red envelopes of lucky money are a common gift between friends and relatives at New Year. Tinh added that children and grandchildren visit their parents and grandparents toexchange blessings and lucky money. He said children are advised to put it in their piggy banks andolder children are advised to use it for college. A community part of the celebration is the dragon dance.Firecrackers announced the arrival of two dragons made of cloth and wood, each one manned by twomale dancers. Their dance was accompanied by the beat of a large drum and the antics of a potbellied jester who wore a smiling mask and carried a fan, cavorting with the audience. The dragons dancethrough the streets of towns during New Year, visiting each house and business in exchange for luckymoney, Tinh said. The dragons symbolize good luck and chase away bad luck, said Jennifer Tran, a lawand diversity senior. The evening also included a Vietnamese dinner, two traditional dances, music and a fashion show exhibiting traditional styles found in the north, south and central areas of Vietnam, as wellas traditional school and wedding apparel. After the formal festivities ended, participants danced to thetunes of Western pop music played by a live band. In many parts of Asia, a person's surname precedeshis or her given name. Pham Tinh uses the Asia name order, while Quyen Pham uses the Western name order. Because they share the common surname "Pham," their given names have been used to avoidconfusion. Students, staff contribute to new access maps Outdated maps to be replaced withcomputer-drafted upgrades By Renee Pedranti Front reporter Students with disabilities will soon havenew campus maps to inform them of the locations of designated routes, bathrooms and gradients toaccess buildings. Western's current maps are outdated, said David S. Brunnemer, coordinator ofDisabled Student Services. The Center for Equal Opportunity and the Disabled Student Services officehad an open house Friday, at which students, administration and faculty were able to review andcritique campus access maps from other schools. Feedback reflected participants' preferences fordesignated routes and gradients and will be used to create access maps. Inclines and distances werealso a large concern. "A high gradient to a short distance is acceptable, but a high to medium gradientover a long distance becomes tiring," Brunnemer said. Feedback also showed the campus communitywants everywhere that's wheelable to show types of gradients on the maps with coordinating colors.Symbols will also be used to show recommended routes. Designated parking will be shown andbathroom symbols will be used to give people knowledge of bathroom locations and accessibleentrances. To make the creation of the access maps more personalized, disabled students are able towork on the maps. They designate areas themselves. The new maps will be done with AutoCad, anIBM-compatible computer program taught on Western's campus. Brunnemer said, to his knowledge,Western is the only university using this program. The program is available to "The students are doingactual AutoCad work, data entry and are determining access information needed." â€”David S.Brunnemer Coordinator of DSS the general public. "The students are doing actual AutoCad work, dataentry and are determining access information needed," Brunnemer said. The Center for EqualOpportunity and the Disabled Student Services office are working together in support of the project.Maps from other campuses were drafted, a process that requires much labor and is typically done byone person, Brunnemer said. Often, the designer is not available to contact when changes are needed.Drafting new maps is also a big expense. "Doing maps on computers allows us to add needed changes much faster and at little cost," Brunnemer said Brunnemer said maps will probably be finished by theend of spring quarter, depending on computer access.

A draft of the proposalhas been circulating for the last few years and was submitted to the Bellingham City Council, but neveracted upon. The police department is resubmitting it in an attempt to get approval to limit street parkingin residential neighborhoods, including Garden and Forest streets. Western is working with the city of Bellingham and residents in the impacted areas to decrease the number of students parking on thestreets. The decrease in parking is part of the Transportation Management Plan, the campus plan torestructure parking. The first steps of the TMP will become effective for the 1995-96 academic year. CarlRoot, Western's TMP manager, said the residential parking zones, if implemented, would include a two-hour parking limit on vehicles without a specific residential parking permit. Vehicles parked inexcess could be impounded. Root's information comes from a copy of the police department's draft,although the draft hasn't been shown to the City Council or the public. * According to the proposal, thepermits would become available at $20 per vehicle to residents in the affected areas, and the revenuewould be used to enforce and sustain the program. However, each household would be limited to twopermanent permits and two guest permits. Root said as many as 3,000 permits may be needed. Areascited in the proposal include south of campus between 15th and 21st streets, extending to Knox Avenue, which is perpendicular to them. It would also include A commuter's concern TRANSPORTATIONMANAGEMENT Part two of a multi-part series all of Forest Street to Chestnut, near downtownBellingham. Also, the residential area behind Sehome Arboretum to the east and north of Westernwould border on the plan. Public hearings will eventually take place after the current draft has been to the City Council and revised. South Forest Street resident Nancy Davis said she's been pushing for controls on parking in her neighborhood during the time the proposal circulated. "I'm glad they've expanded theradius beyond controls on just Forest and Garden streets. Otherwise, the traffic would just get pusheddown into other single-family housing neighborhoods that need the parking," Davis said. Root saidWestern will help with the planning process as much as possible. "We're working with the city and theneighbors in looking at a proposal and implementing a program that will work for them," Root said.Front/Loc Nguyen Forest Street is in one of the areas surrounding campus that is impacted by studentparking. Earlier deadline meets more requests for financial aid By Jesse Nolte Front reporter The priority deadline for mailing federal financial aid forms has been moved to Feb. 15, two weeks earlier than lastyear's deadline. The earlier deadline is due to an increase in students applying for financial aid, saidStudent Financial Resources Director Kathy Sahlhoff. The number of students awarded financial aid in1994-95 increased by 68 percent from 1992-93. Despite the increase, Sahloff s staff has stayed thesame, resulting in a slower turnaround rate for financial aid applications, Sahlhoff said. "We have no new staff and no new resources," she said. At the beginning of fall quarter 1992, 3,532 students wereawarded financial aid. At the beginning of fall quarterl994, 5,930 students were recipients, Sahlhoff said.The earlier deadline allows the center to finish awarding financial aid to the current batch of applicantsbefore next year's freshman applications are due May 1. The center had trouble processing all theapplications before May 1 last year, she said. "I think people at the center are really stressed," Sahlhoffsaid. The earlier deadline also stresses some students who are dealing with midterms and other college pressures. "The deadline really puts a crunch on my time," said freshman Jeff Wilson. "I've got a lot ofstuff going on already." Along with slowing down the turnaround rate for financial aid applications, theincrease in applications also lessens the center's ability to counsel students, Sahlhoff said.

The council last consideredthe ordinance at its Jan. 24 meeting. It postponed making a decision on the ordinance so it couldreview information given by residents who spoke that night. The CAO has been the subject of muchrevision, debate and legal action. The emergency ordinance, enacted Dec. 13,1994, is the third draftof a critical areas ordinance adopted by Whatcom County. It is effective until Feb. 13. The 1990 GrowthManagement Act requires rapidly growing counties to adopt a CAO. Such an ordinance protectsenvironmentally vulnerable areas from development, said Dan Gibson, Whatcom County prosecutingattorney. Critical areas include wetlands, flowing or standing bodies of water that contribute togroundwater resources, fish and wildlife conservation areas, frequently flooded areas and geologically hazardous areas, according to the ordinance. Adopted July 8, 1992, the original ordinance met withdisapproval from several residents during the final public hearing. The council listened to theirarguments, but did not change the ordinance because it did not feel the opinions expressed werereflective of the majority of Whatcom County residents, said Marlene Dawson, Whatcom CountyCouncil member-at-large. David Schmalz, president of the North Cascades Audobon So-. â€¢ ciety, said the council considered homeowners' and developers' concerns in drafting the ordinance. ADVERTISEIN THE WESTERN FRONT 650-3161 He said the large number of opponents to the ordinance wasorchestrated for the last meeting and did not reflect the majority view at earlier public hearings. Threecouncil members were subsequently elected out of office and replaced by three new members,Dawson being one of the new members. These three new members tend to favor the referendumordinance rather than the original, which the former three members favored. A small group of theordinance's opponents â€¢ lined out several portions of the document, then gathered enoughsignatures supporting this revised version to put it to a vote as a referendum, Schmalz said. Accordingto the home rule charter, residents can block an unfavorable law by gathering enough signatures to putthe ordinance to a referendum vote. A referendum does not allow items to be added to the document voted upon; it only allows strikeouts to the document. Skip Richards, a commercial real estateinvester, said referendum backers opposed the original ordinance because it created a new,unneccessary bureacracy to admininister the ordinance. He said they also thought several of theregulations only took property for public use, rather than protecting the environment. Voters approved the referendum when shown the text of both versions. Schmalz said the Audubon Society filed suitagainst the county with the Growth Planning Hearings Board. He said neither the referendum process nor its content met "No objective player (exists) in this game." - Skip Richards campaign manager forthe referendum critical areas ordinance GMA mandates because it did not provide for acceptablepublic input. "It was difficult for people to see how much the original had been changed," Schmalzsaid. The board ruled against the referendum process for the ordinance, but did not rule on itscontent, Schmalz said. The original County Council also filed suit against Steve Brisbane, a developerwho was instrumental in promoting the r e f e r e n dum. T h e case Went to i the stateSupreme Court, which ruled critical areas ordinances are ineligible for referendum vote and remandedthe ordinance to the.County Council on Dec. 7,1994. Brisbane could not be reached to discuss thecase. The court said CAOs need extensive public input, including public hearings, legal review andtechnical review, Schmalz explained. A referendum does not allow for discussion of ordinance terms;it requires a vote approving or disapproving referendum content. The ordinancepermits "emergencyconstruction or activity necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety and welfareas determined by the county." An emergency ordinance is effective for only 60 daysv The counciladopted the emergency ordinance to protect homeowners who had built houses in areas not deemedcritical by the referendum ordinance, but considered critical by the original ordinance, Dawson said.

Dawson said thesehomeowners faced the loss of their homes without such an ordinance. Schmalz said his organizationhad concerns about the referendum's treatment of wetlands and wildlife. He said the referendumincreases the threshhold size of protected wetlands, so that the majority of these wetlands would beunprotected. His group also protested the deletion of a goal statement in the referendum and emergency ordinances, Schmalz said. In the original ordinance, this statement defined the goal of the ordinance as acknowledging and preserving the public interest in wildlife management. Schmalz said the emergencyordinance shifted wildlife management to private interest rather than public interest. Schmalz said heopposes the emergency ordinance because it is very similar to the referendum. He said his group plansto appeal if it is adopted as the county's critical areas ordinance. Richards said he opposes theemergency ordinanceas well. He said the language of this version is too broad and vague. He said healso opposes the stricter provisions under which developers may build in a critical area only if theymitigate the harmful effects of development. Richards said he plans to appeal to the hearing examinerand the County Council if the emergency version is adopted as the critical areas ordinance.

By Kristine Donahoe Front reporter This recipe is likeall Kristine's Kuisine recipes â€” it is low in fat, costs less than five dollars to make and is versatile forvegetarians and meat lovers. Using evaporated milk rather than cream cuts down on the fat, but creamcreates a richer dish. Pasta offers a virtually fat-free, high-carbohydrate meal; the only fat is from addedsauce. Many stores offer cholesterol-free, fresh pasta in the deli, but dry pasta works well and is lessexpensive. The old debate over who created pasta, the Chinese or the Italians, has been argued foryears. Marco Polo traveled to China and returned to Venice with noodles from the Imperial Court. Prior to Polo's trip, pasta was quite common in Southern Italy. The Southerner's had pasta for many yearsbefore Polo, the idea probably coming into Italy from the Arabs and, even later, the Greeks. It may beeasier to say the Chinese and Italians discovered pasta independently of each other. One majordifference between the Chinese and the Italians is what they do with the pasta. The Chinese makenoodles from such foods as wheat, rice and yams. But everything is made into one form â€” the noodle. The Italians on the other hand, use primarily wheat and turn it into hundreds of different shapes,everything from hats, ties and bows to nests, wheels and tubes. The Italians don' t see pasta as anentire meal, as do the Chinese. Sauces with vegetables and meat help to make the meal complete.Planned Parenthood Confidential* Affordable Health Care for women and men Now Open onSaturdays for Appointments and Supplies 9 - 5:30 5 0 0 Grand Avenue Etellingham For anappointment, call 734-9095 or 1-600-230-PLAN (toll-free) * t\^ CL^t^ Â£XtÂ£X.

Those who seemed to be veteran members gathered in groups and exchanged greetingsand news. Others, new or unfamiliar with the group, sat quietly and waited for the meeting to begin. TheBellingham UFO Group (BUFOG), meets the first Saturday of each month in the Bellingham PublicLibrary main lecture room. Its main function is to bring people together who are interested in, or whohave had contact with, UFOs. "I'm just trying to get the word out that it's okay to talk about this stuff.,"said Matthew Thuney, president of BUFOG. "In fact, it's important to talk about it." It all began four years ago when Thuney went to a UFO conference held at the Scottish Rite Temple on State street. Theskeptical Thuney was surprised to find "ordinary folks looking for answers." He said he felt a drive toget something started so he called local people from a mailing list he got from the conference. "I justwanted to find out if anyone else had gotten any answers to this enigma of UFOs and contact andthings like that," Thuney said. '1 didn't know what to expect, but people were really open and they said,'sure I'd like to join a group, how can I help?' and stuff like that. I was amazed." Thuney said he hasalways been interested in UFOs. "I remember as a kid in the '50s when other kids were drawingpictures of cars," he said. "Instead of drawing pictures of cars, I would draw pictures of flying saucersand spaceships." The idea began to come together, and the first meeting was held at his oldapartment. The meeting was sponsored in-part by UFO Contact Center International, and about adozen people showed up. The group's current mailing list has 207 names. About 30 show up at eachmeeting, including a core-group of regulars. It's no longer affiliated with any other groups. Thuneydescribed it as a "freewheeling organization." "We want to provide a forum where people can discussthe whole issue of UFOs and possible alien/human contact," Thuney said. He began the meeting with awelcome to the new attendees, news and agendas for the future. He set out photo copies of interestingreports, interviews, etc. Most of the copies were gone in a few minutes. The atmosphere was open andcasual, and the audience was attentive. Thuney Ross Dedrickson, a veteran in the group, gave hisreport from the Worldwide UFO Conference he attended in Nevada during December. He relayed newtheories, stories of UFO abductions and news to the other members of the group. The Eddy Page videofollowed. "I hope you will listen with an open mind," Page said in the video-recorded account of hisexperiences with alien beings. He was visibly moved when he spoke of contact he'd had with thebeings. He began with his birth and continued to the present, including the abduction in which beingssaved his life following a mortal wounding in the Vietnam War. matic," Thuney said of abductees. "It'shard to deal with. It's not something you expect. It's not something we have any way of dealing with inour consciousness. "There are categories for just about everything we can think of, but there are nocategories for having a contact experience with beings from elsewhere," he said. "People feel strangeabout having an interest in UFOs. They feel even a lot stranger about having had a nighttime visitation orabduction experience or whatever you want to call it." â€” Matthew Thuney President of BUFOG Anarticle in The International UFO . Library Magazine called his story "either a landmark case in UFOhistory or one of the most imaginative frauds anyone could ever construct." Page had a very detailedstory, and included written documentation from the military and physicians corroborating his story.Thuney described Page as "very down to earth." The group watched the video quietly.' Members agreedthis is what the group is forâ€”learning about what's going on in the field and perhaps getting someoneelse's perspective of experiences. "They are usually very hesitant to come forward because it'spersonally very trau- Asidefromthesemeetings, anabductee support group meets once a month for thosewho need to share the experiences. The' meetings are very private and confidential because of thetraumatic nature of the experiences, Thuney said. "People feel strange about having an interest inUFOs. They feel even a lot stranger about having had a nighttime visitation or abduction experience orwhatever you want to call it," Thuney said. "F ve read estimates that approximately one in 40 people has had some kind of contact experience," he said, "which is a lot of people." Susan Stiller, one of theoriginal BUFOG members, is the founder and head Front/Ryan McMenamin of the support group ofabout 12. She said the purpose of the regular and support group meetings is to helpsontactees to feelcomfortable in expressing what's" happened to them. "I used to be really hesitant personally abouttelling people about the group because of the ridicule factor," Thuney said. "It's amazing just in thepast three years or so just how much the acceptance level has grown," he said. "It's not the scoffingkind of attitude that used to prevail." He cited Bellingham, and the WestCoast in general, as a possiblepart of the equation. "There is in this community, at least there was until the last election, anatmosphere of .openness, .and., a willingness to look at different ideas, which doesn't exist in a lot ofcommunities," Thuney said. Jeannie Wedian comes simply because of the interest. She said she's there to get a perspective, and find out what she feels about UFOs. "I'm 100 percent into spiritual healing,"she said. Debbie Vasilinda, amemberof two and a half years, said she's been interested since she was a kid. "I've always thought there was something out there other than just us," she said. She said themeetings give a good outlook, since you can get a little bit of everything. Thuney recognized thesame mix. "We have a whole range of people," he said, talking about those he called the "nuts-and-bolts" type, who are ever in search of evidence or facts, and the "new age" type who are interested in otherlevels of consciousness. In between there's simply a range of curious people. Thuney said themeetings go very smoothly. "Wehaven'thadanybody casting stones at us or anything, which I hadexpected. We haven't encountered a whole lot of resistance. It's been areally positive experience."Beyond BUFOG, Thuney is a freelance writer, struggling for syndication. His column appears in OurTown News once a month. He is the president and founder of a local business, Northwest RubberStamps, which is also the center of operations for BUFOG. The next meeting will be held from 3 to 6p.m., March 4 in the Bellingham Public Library main lecture room at 210 Central Ave. Mike Strainic, theCanadian national director for the Mutual UFO Network will give a Canadian update and perspective onthe UFO phenomenon. â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1995 February 7 - Page 11 ---------- February 7,1995 â€” The Western Front FEATURESâ€¢11 Environmental Studies exhibits ancientartifacts By Dave Henken Front reporter Take a walk through Western's Environmental Studiesbuilding and you may mistake it for a museum. Hallways in the basement, first and second floors arelined with a kaleidoscope of rocks, mineral samples and ancient artifacts. Stop to investigate and youcan trade a moment of your time for a glimpse into the world of geology. Research technician GeorgeMustoe has been creating the exhibits since 1986. He explained the department's reputation forinteractive science goes back much further. Much room was devoted to displays as early as the 1950s,when geology was housed in the basement of Haggard Hall. Pre- Front/Dave Henken These 25,000-year-old woolly mammoth teeth, found on Camano Island, are part of the geology department's growingcollection of ice age artifacts which may go on display soon. paring for its move to the EnvironmentalStudies building in 1972, people in the department requested display cases be built. Early on, thedisplay cases housed mainly student projects, Mustoe said. Most of these were not elaborate orintended for long-term display. In 1986, Mustoe decided to slowly work on permanent exhibits in hisfree time. "We get a lot of school groups," he explained. "That was one of the things that started this. Itwas hard to figure out what to show them. If they visit the department and see a lot of people behinddesks, there isn't much to distinguish the geology department from other departments." After nineyears, the displays cover a broad spectrum. One features local jade, another, Washington minerals. Among other topics are "Ancient Volcanoes of Skagit County," "The Asbestos Family" and "OurChanging Coast." The geology department spends about $200 per year maintaining and expanding thedisplays, Mustoe said. Most of the items on display were donated to the school by students, localrock hounds or organizations such as the Mount Baker Rock and Gem Club. "I actually don' t get a lot of material from faculty," Mustoe said. "Geologists, by and large, are doing research on stuff that's notthat great to look at." In another display, sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks are labeled with hidden tags, so visitors can test identification skills. Mustoe said, when possible, he emphasizes local geology in the exhibits. This reflects his own interests, but he said he feels the university has anobligation to make contact with the community by way of local geological issues. "We are a publicly-funded institution, after all," he said. The largest display, "Geology of the North Cascades," runs thelength of the building on the first floor. With maps, diagrams and large samples, the exhibit reviewsa variety of local geological features. This display, like many, is hands-on. All of the samples are meantto be felt and handled, although care should be taken with the more fragile rocks. Many of thespecimens throughout the building are on pedestals in the open, rather than behind glass, to encouragevisitors to touch them. Another interactive display is "Minerals and Polarized Light." Visitors can seecolorful patterns by activating the lights and viewing samples through one of the Geology studentsAmy DeVera and Dean igneous rocks with one of the department polarizing filters. Some displaysfeature fossils â€” shark teeth, petrified and preserved wood and marine life. "Something we get askeda lot is whether we have any dinosaur bones," Mustoe said. The department has a small, but growingcollection of dinosaur bones and tracks, including some actual fossils and plaster casts of others.Most of these items aren't yet on display. "One of the problems is that I'll sometimes get a few reallyinteresting specimens," Mustoe said. "But I don't have enough to put them in a case and really haveFront/Dave Henken Toba quiz themselves on 's interactive displays. them make sense by themselves."Also growing is the collection of artifacts from the ice age. Mustoe said the woolly mammoth tusks nowon display may soon be joined by an assortment of vertebrate fossils. This exhibit may include two25,000-year-old woolly mammoth teeth, discovered on Camano Island and recently donated to theuniversity. Mustoe hopes to have the display ready before spring break. The ES building is openweekdays 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Saturdays 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.Western student takes volunteering seriously By Angela Cassidy Front reporter While most Westernstudents are studying or attending parties, one student is helping save lives. Tom Walker, a juniormajoring in physical education with a specialty in athletic training, is not your typical 22-year-oldcollege student. When he's not in the classroom, he's volunteering as an emergency medicaltechnician (EMT) for the city of Issaquah fire department or as an assistant athletic trainer at NewportHigh School in Bellevue. His work as an EMT is bringing him fame in the form of television. He and hisco-workers have been asked to reenact a rescue for the television show Rescue 911. The filming will take place February 17 and 18 at Tiger Mountain in Issaquah. No airing date has been set. He recalled theincident nonchalantly. "To me it was just another day that we happened to go a little farther away fromthe vehicle than normal," Walker said. "The situation itself wasn't routine, but it was really just anotherday at work. Thegirl fell offa waterfall at TigerMountain and weended up takingheroutby helicopter. Wehiked in and the helicopter came in about a half-hour later. We stabilized her and helped to get her up tothe helicopter. She was looking over the edge and slipped. "I think what happened is that she was with a friend and the friend was the.one who called us for help. He's also the one that got in contact with theRescue 911 show." And just how does he manage to be a full-time student and volunteer inIssaquah? "I sign up around my school schedule so I work mostly weekends," Walker said. "We(EMTs) have to sign up for at least three 12-hour shifts per month. I have time to do homework at thestation. It's' pretty quiet. (The station) averages just about three calls a day, and so some days wewon't have anything, some days we'll have six or seven." Walker's training for the EMT position lasted 13 weeks. He attended classes twice a week â€” a three-hour lecture class on Tuesdays and an eight-hourpractical class on Saturdays. In addition to the 13 weeks, the position required lOhours of emergencyobservation. He observed at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. The final requirement was an eight-hourpractical/hands-on exam and a 100-question written exam. He completed the requirements at age 19.At Newport High School, Walker Front/Loc Nguyen Tom Walker volunteers as a firefighter and assistantathletic trainer. works with the gymnastics team. In between his Monday, Wednesday and Fridayclasses at Western, he observes an athletic training class at Sammamish High School and workswith the Newport team. His weekend, or at least 12 hours of it, is spent with the fire department."Being an EMT and being an athletic trainer are pretty similar," Walker said. "The big difference isthat an athletic trainer is specialized in athletic injuries ... an EMT is specialized in general injuries andillnesses. "The other big difference is that an EMT usually doesn't have any previous knowledge of theperson, so they get there and it's a lot easier to just treat the person as signs and symptoms. As anathletic trainer, most of the people you see you've known for awhile. You're dealing with specific peoplewho've also come to know and trust you." Walker said he doesn't get nervous on the job as an EMT."Usually, when you're actually there at the scene, you tend to just go on automatic," Walker said. "Mostinjuries, even illnesses, are pretty straightforward. Sometimes, something will not really make sense and you gotta think about it, but you 're thinking about the injury, the symptoms and the signs. Notreally who thepersonis, but what the person is." Walker has his own way of dealing with the stress of his EMTwork. "I'm not bothered by too much. What I am bothered by, I usually talk over with the people at thestation ... you take care of things right then." Walker, who is an only child, said his parents aresupportive of him. "My mom understands. She'd rather see me do something I want to do thansomething I wouldn't want to do and get more money," he said." The only thing she really worries aboutis all the hours in the car (commuting from Bellingham to Issaquah and Bellevue) â€” bad weather, stupid drivers." Walker plans to graduate in the spring of 1996, and would like to continue volunteering evenafter he has a full-time job. "I'd like to be an athletic trainer for a high school, and even after I become that I'd still like to continue doing volunteer work," he said. "I'd actually like to be a volunteer firefighter." Fornow, however, he is content with what he is doing. "For me, being an EMT is fun," he said. "I enjoyhelping people." ---------- Western Front - 1995 February 7 - Page 12 ---------- 12 â€¢ FEATURES The Western Front â€” February 7,1995 Talkin' trash in Garbage Park By ReneePedranti Front reporter If a park featuring dinosaurs sounds fascinating, how about a park where garbage is glorified? Sound like a bunch of rubbish? Arunas Oslapas, assistant professor of industrial design atWestern, has an idea that would be just that. The objective of Oslapas' Garbage Park proposal is toboost garbage recycling awareness through education and entertainment. Even though the park is only an idea, it would be built on full sanitary landfills or city dumps. "It's an investigation at the moment, but itcould become a working park where people process materials," Oslapas said. The fee to GarbagePark would be what Oslapas calls "trash or cash." Sorting bins would line the plastic wood walkwaywhere a cash payment or garbage for future processing would be taken. Visitors could venture todesignated areas of the park with themes such as Vehicle Valley, featuring British double-decker buses,or old World War n fighter planes that visitors could sit in, letting their imaginations soar. Michelin Mazewould incorporate tires into mazes for adults and children to find their way through. Spongy Jump, madeout of old mattress fillers, foam rubber, old pillows and fabric scraps, would allow children all the jumpingthey are forbidden from doing on their parents' beds. De-Comp provides visitors with a "blast from thepast" Courtesyof Arunas Oslapas Vehicle Valley is one proposed section shown in this rendition ofOslapas' Garbage Park. . featuring glass-walled, cross sections of historical refuse visitors can analyzeto speculate about past cultures, trends and social habits. Visitors can also participate in Glass Smash,a good stress-releaser which lets visitors break bottles and smash glass as they help to sort colors andinitiate the glass crushing process. Toy Town lets children exchange old toys, giving them theopportunity to participate in recycling. "The feeling is like that of a carnival or theme park," Oslapas said."Entertainment is a good way to educate." Oslapas explained every concept has problems and liabilityclauses would help keep people away from sharp objects and diseases affiliated with garbage.Speculation arose as to how a garbage park would appeal to the public. Oslapas said he thinks childrenwould generally be curious as they could drop off a toy and get another in return. Junkyards haveinterested Oslapas since he was a child, which forms the basis for his Garbage Park idea. He has taught at Brigham Young University as well as the Kendall College of Arts and Design. Various students underhis instruction have won awards in competitions for the Industrial Design program at Western. Oslapasreceived an honorable mention in the first Design Resource Competition in the professional category forhis Garbage Park concept. The idea is only a seedling, he said, but with faith and integrity this idea could become reality. "Maybe we can celebrate garbage," Oslapas said. "Maybe we can make something ofwhat our paradigm today considers ugly." AVALON GOLF CLUB FRIDAY IS STUDENT DAY ATAVALON ALL STUDENTS PLAY FOR $15.00 PRESENT ANY VALID STUDENT I.D.

More than 150 competitors from around the state and Canada showed,compared with 120 entries last year. Senior Jeff Foisy, a club member, took first place in the men'sunlimited brown-belt division. The club, which has about 15 members, is made up of students, alumniand community members. "It's an unusual sport, and not too many people know about it," saidWestern instructor Mark Glaser. Judo (or Jujitsu) means "the gentle way." It has some similarities towrestling and includes throwing, turning, pushing, pulling and pinning. "It is a defensive sport, which ismeant for physical and mental well-being," Western senior Andrew Purvis said. "Judo teaches a senseof awareness of one's own body. It teaches you how to go with the flow and not resist incorrectly. Itteaches you how to use someone's weight and strength to your own advantage," Glaser said. Front/TinaJo Koontz Western student Jeff Foisy took top honors in Saturday's judo competition.

By Mike Stiles Frontreporter Hockey forces its fans to utilize more senses than most other sports. The crowd is basicallyin a large refrigerator which echos their screams. With the din of the crowd comes the sound of thegame; the vibrations of bodies colliding against the boards and the smashing of sticks on the ice. Theplayers also add to the ambiance. From the team bench, they emit steady encouragement mixed withmuddled profanity. And, perhaps more noticeable, the players give off the smell of hard work anddetermination. Last Saturday, Western's hockey team showed the University of Washington just howdetermined they were. The Vikings beat the Huskies 4-2 in front of about 400 fans at the WhatcomCounty Sports Arena. "The team played really well," said Paul Hough, co-captain of the Vikings' team."This is about our sixth game together and we're playing .500 hockey." Western split a two-gameseries at UW on Jan. 27 and 28, losing 3-5 and winning 5-3, respectively. "We came off a win lastweek," said co-captain Paul Rogness. "We just carried the momentum through tonight." Much of thefirst period was filled with crushing checks and flying bodies. UW started out fast, scoring its first goal at 1:18 into the game. Western got up to speed and came back with fury. Mike Campbell scored at 16:56into the 20-minute period. This was followed up with goals from Chris Wagner and Ron Mullin. TheVikings easily stole the lead with the three goals and were pumped-up for the second period. Rognesssaid a key to winning the game was to hit the Huskies harder and intimidate them. "We hit them more,and they were scared to hold onto the puck too much," Rogness said. "They were scared to skate withit." UW scored the lone goal in the second period. The only thing the Vikings picked up werepenalties. Western had 20 minutes of penalties, while the Huskies spent six minutes in the penaltybox during the entire period. Despite the number of penalties, Western winger Marty Brueggemannfelt the game was uncharacteristically calm. "This is one of the calmest games we've had," he said. "No one wants to get kicked out of a close game." Brueggemann, though, was involved in the only fight ofthe game. He was subsequently penalized, ejected and suspended for one game. Wagner scored his second goal of the game in the third period to secure the win. Western out-skated, out-hit and out-performed UW. The only obstacle the Vikings had to overcome was the Husky goalie. "The gamewasn't as close as the score showed," Rogness said. "Their goalie played really well." The Vikings' nexthome game is at 7 p.m. on Feb. 18 against the University of Oregon at the Whatcom County SportsArena.

Peaking at the end of the season is what most teams prefer to do. The Western men'sbasketball team appears to be peaking at just the right time. With only six games remaining on theregular-season slate, the Vikings have won three straight games, their longest winning streak since afive-game spurt very early in the season. The latest victim was the University of Puget Sound onSaturday night at Carver Gym. Western defeated the Loggers, 83-68, to place a firm grip on fourthplace in the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference. The win improved the Vikings' overall record to 13-9 and its conference record to 4-3. The Vikings were led by guard Derric Croft, who scored a game-high26 points on 10-of-13 shooting (77 percent) from the field, with 4-of-6 shooting (66 percent) from three-point range. He also added seven rebounds, six assists What's on Tap Men's Basketball â€¢ St.Martin's College â€” 7 p.m., Feb. 9, Carver Gym â€¢ BYU - Hawaii â€” 7 p.m., Feb 18, Carver GymWomen's Basketball â€¢ Simon Fraserâ€” 7 p.m., Feb. 10, Carver Gym Dance for Heart â€¢ Noon, Feb. 11, Carver Gym Ice Hockey â€¢ University of Oregon â€” 7 p.m., Feb. 18, Whatcom County SportsArena and five steals. "Derric is finally feeling pretty good. His back is feeling a lot better," Head CoachBrad Jackson said. "We've been very pleased with his play. Both he and Tim (Caviezel) have startedshooting the ball well from the perimeter." Croft hit two three-pointers and guards Caviezel and DanLegard each added one as the Vikings built a 12-4 advantage less than four minutes into the game.Croft scored 20 of his 26 points in the first half, leading Western to a 38-25 halftime lead. UPS camewithin three points with 6:47 remaining in the game, but the Vikings answered back with an 11-0 run.Joining Croft in double figures were Harold Doyal (23) and Caviezel (11). Doyal, who scored 15 of his23 points in the second half and grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds, moved into second place onWestern's all-time scoring list with 1,479 points.

It is true that I came for the first time to Bellingham and to Western in 1990, but not as thehead of "a delegation of government officials and academics from Nahodka." I was a guest of WWUand the Sister City Committee. Unfortunately, there are no universities in Nahodka, Bellingham' ssister city in Russia. There are 11 of them in Khabarovsk, a city of more than 650,000, not 120,000 asthe article reported. I cannot agree with the summary of my research, as it is presented in thepaper. Relations between the government and the Natives in each of the countries were and are verydifferent. In the Soviet Union, the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East had, and still have, free medical treatment and free education on all levels. Native students at the universities evenreceive some money as a stipend and other kinds of financial support from the Federal and localbudgets. During the '20s and '30s, 17 new alphabets were created for them. They have had media in their languages for at least 50 years. The American experience is different. During the Soviet era, scholars in the Soviet Union had no real opportunity to- analyze it without interference of the politics. Now wehave that opportunity. I am really glad to come to Western and to do my research here. I do not knowbeforehand what will be the result: maybe Russia can learn from the American experience, or maybeAmerica can learn something from the Russian experience, too. There is one comment in that articlethat I do not want my colleagues in Russia to read, for them not to blame me for, to put it mildly,exaggeration: "... just to have an office is apleasure. Maybe in Russia I can only have the use of a tablethat I must share with several other professors. Doing research is extremely difficult. In Russia you havea piece of paper, a pen and one (!?) pencil." Yes, the conditions for the students and the professors inmany, not all universities in Russia, are far from American ones. But what I was trying to say that wemanaged to support the professors by sending them to Moscow and St. Petersburg librariesandleadinguniversitiesforone-to three-month periods every year to conduct research. As a rule, homeuniversity pays all expenses. That part of the comment was not published and it changed the wholeidea. I understand that there is not much space in the newspaper and sometimes a reporter should cutoff some portions of the interview. But, I am afraid, that is not the case; either you try to understande very-thing and make efforts to explain it to the readers, or drop it out. What is very true in that article is that I really had a choice of different schools with well known names, and I am grateful to those whohave assisted in the accommodation of my family and for the opportunity to teach and to share myexpertise with those who have an interest in it. The context for my comments seems sometimes to have gotten lost.

Con ProToo many innocents die Murderers forfeit rights Execution is the one right our government shouldn' thave because too many are wrongly and unjustly condemned. Jesse Dewayne Jacobs, 44, wasexecuted in Texas for a murder he didn't commit. Although he confessed to the crime and wassentenced to die, seven months later he testified that his sister was the culprit. The prosecutor wasconvinced she was guilty, but Texas Attorney General Dan Morales wanted Jacobs to die. He used arecent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court limiting the number of times a death row inmate may challengewhether his sentence is constitutional, to move for Jacobs' execution. The Supreme Court agreed withMorales, with a 6-3 majority. The dissenting justices called the decision "fundamentally unfair."Fundamentally unfair? How about unjust, unlawful, unconstitutional and inhuman? Punishmentshould be determined by facts and facts alone. Jim Dwyer, in Newsday, said, "Texas executes peoplealmost monthly and its cities are among the homicide capitals of the world. New York state, where thedeath penalty has not been used for three decades, does not have a single city among the top 25 in thenation for homicide." There goes the idea of lower crime rates in states that use capital punishment.Clarence Bran-dley, a black high school janitor from Texas, was convicted of murdering a 16-year-oldwhite girl. "Since you're the nigger," the police told him, "you're elected." After six years of appeals, anevidentiary hearing was finally ordered by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. The court ruled thatBrandley's skin color "was a substantial factor which pervaded all aspects of the state's capitalprosecution." Brandley was finally cleared of all charges against him after nine years, five months and 23 days of unlawful incarceration. He told the Houston Post: "Every time you think you want the deathpenalty, remember that information in a case could be fabricated and that person could be innocen t... and once you kill someone, you can't take it back." Capital punishment obviously doesn't work. If it did,crime rates would be lower and innocent people such as Jacobs and Brandley would have been sparedthe ordeal (death, in Jacobs' case) caused by misinformation, bigotry and confusion within the courtsystem. Contrary to the thoughts of a bleeding heart liberal, the death penalty is not cruel and unusualpunishment. It is not a deterrent to crime either; but it is a necessary punishment in our society. TheEighth Amendment to the Constitution protects citizens against cruel and unusual punishment;however, the death penalty is neither cruel nor unusual punishment. According to the Supreme Courtcase, Re Kemmler, the Court ruled "Punishments are cruel when they involve ... a lingering death ...something more than the mere extinguishment of life." This decision clearly states hanging, lethalinjection and electrocution are not cruel and unusual. All of these methods used today do not involve alingering death. Justice Brennan was completely correct when he wrote in Furman v. Georgia, "thereis no method available that guarantees an immediate and painless death." It is true no method which can constir tute an immediate and painless death exists, but should a person who has taken the life ofanother be guaranteed an immediate and painless death? It is true, the death penalty is not a deterrentto crime. We all know career criminals will continue to commit crimes whether or not the death penaltyexists. The goal of life imprisonment is not to rehabilitate these people. According to JusticesBrennan and White, alternatives such as life imprison-ment do not serve as a deterrent. Lifeimprisonment is not going to rehabilitate these people. So, instead of taking up the prison space andwasting money, we should eliminate the problem. Some people have classified capital punishment asmorally unjust because the killing of an innocent person is always possible. Although these cases aretrue and do exist, the chances of them happening are few and far between. The criminal justice systemin the United States is set up to prevent this from happening. This is the exact reason a person is"innocent until proven guilty" and must be found "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." Capital punishmentis necessary in our society. It is not cruel and unusual punishment . Yes, it is expensive to executecriminals because of the appeals process, but if these criminals were actually treated as murderers,less money would be spent on trying to make their prison lives comfortable. ^BBHIBI^HII''***'*'*#Â¥!. ^^^^^s^S^gw^^^M JANUARY SPECIALS All T-Shirts $12.00 !! $19.99 Tune-ups IQIJIJI T ^ - - * ^ * * Â« " Â« Â» * * * * Â» * * * I W M ' * * W * Mâ„¢U W * M Â° * * W ^ ^ nEEzna SPDtype,190z,86,etc. * SPECIALTY PARTS/ACCESSORIES * CUSTOM WHEEL BUILDING *EFASTTUNE-UPS BIKE WORKS' OPEN 10-5:30 MDNDAY-gt;SATURDAY 671-0856 J30 7 RAILROAD AVENUE -DOWNTOWN BY HOLLY ST Introducing Round Table Pizza's Includes all you can eat pizza, dragonwings (chicken), potato skins, breadsticks, dessert pizza, salad bar and more!

One of our own recently had a major knee surgery. She thought it would be easier â€” and lesspainful â€” to use a wheelchair for the first few weeks after the operation. She was wrong. College Hall,where most things journalistic occur, is the worst building on campus. Our staffer found that the soleentrance to the building is a heavy, outward-opening door leading through the newsroom. Because she'son the staff she had a key. But she could not open the door without help. The Lecture Hall building isanother problem. Between class periods the foyer fills with students. Someone in a wheelchair is likely to be trampled as if at a rock concert. Getting to one of the Lecture Hall rooms involves using the wheelchair lift. The noise emitted from the bells and whistles on this contraption are embarrassing to the point ofbeing demeaning. Our staffer gave up on the wheelchair after the second day, a luxury we only now fullyrealize the magnitude of. She took to crutches, but found more problems. Wet weather makes crutcheshazardous. Manholes are slippery for the rubber-tipped point of each crutch. Standing puddles aroundcampus require Olympic pole-vaulting skills to negotiate when on crutches. But the worst hazard is loose brick. A phenomenon that can be found all over campus. Most often the loosest bricks may be found inthe middle of any number of steep hills â€” some of these hills must seem as ominous as Mount Rainierto someone with a disability. A new map is currently being drawn to help people with disabilities getaround more easily. While we are unsure how much it will help matters, we applaud the efforts of theDisabled Student Services Center. The staff at the center was courteous and helpful to our woundedstaffer. They seem to be doing a lot with very little. The obvious lack of money on campus makes it seem far-fetched for us to suggest investing money into improving access for disabled students to the campus. Elevators, ramps and parking spaces are expensive and the lack of money at the school isn't lost on us. Nevertheless, more funds are what it will take to improve campus access for students. In this world ofbudgetary line items and a spend-it-or-lose-it mentality, we need to find the money and invest it. â€” TheFrontline is a consensus of opinions of The Western Front editorial board, which consists of the editor,managing editor, news editor and associate/opinions editor.

VICO transfer to art dept planned for July By Joan Elmenhurst staff reporter On July1, 1992, the process of transferring the visual communication program from the technology department to the art department begins. The transfer, which has been under consideration for at least fiveyears, is a result of increasing similarities between the two areas of study and their courses. Someofthe courses offered in each department are duplicated by the other. Peter Elich, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the transfer will reduce course duplication problems and offer "new andimproved" courses to better serve students. "We primarily teach production and art teaches design.There is not a direct duplication but a great deal of overlapping incourses,"Elsi Vassdal- Ellis, programcoordinator for visual communications (VICO), said. "We need to maximize our resources and facilities." Ellis said students who are in the current program will not be affected by the transfer. "Our goal is to sit down and examine the curriculum to see what we can do to enhance things here," Ellis said. "Somecourses might be eliminated, rewritten or added. (But) we really do need to take care of the studentswe have invested in." Some of the problems encountered are registration difficulties for VICO andgraphic design students, Ellis said. VICO students who want and need courses in graphic arts, forexample, can't get in because they are not art majors. The same happens to art students who needVICO courses. Ellis said she is pleased with the transfer and looks forward to it. "The best will come out of it (the transfer)... It's going to survive and have the potential to grow," Ellis said. Jennifer Kolln, asenior VICO major, said even though she will not be affected by the transfer, she thinks it's a majorimprovement. "Li a way, I wish I could come back and do it over under the new program," Kolln said.She said students will still get the same quality education, but the main difference will be the availabilityof courses. Until this point, Kolln said restrictions have prevented students from getting desired courses. Kollnsaidshedoesn'tknowmuch about the transfer because she only heard about it recently. "A lot ofpeople have been confused in the process," she said. This quarter, the art department will sponsor a few informational meetings for all students dealing with the transfer. The department will distribute a memo to inform VICO students of thechanges, said Robert Sylvester, dean of the College of Fine andPerforming Arts. Gene Vike, chair of the art department, said students are a little anxious. They knew"something was happening but weren't sure." Vike said he hasn't heard of any problems regarding thestudents -â€” only thatmdst are excited aboutit. He said he is also pleased with the transfer and hopesthe resulting program will be the most comprehensive in the state. "I think it's an outstandingopportunity for Western to build and develop a superior application of design and production," hesaid. "It's a good way of utilizing expertise and resources in a very positive way; and it's very appropriatefor current applications in the (design) industry." Western grad talks about Nicaraguan tragedies ByJeff Johnson staff reporter Western graduate Scott Renfro dedicated seven years of his life in Nicaraguaworking to preserve the life of Nicaraguan people. Renfro will discusscurrentevents and development inNicaragua at 7 pjn., April 22 in the Fairhaven Library. In the rural parts of Nicaragua, many people diedue to the contaminated water they get from natural springs. Without sewage systems to flush awayrefuse, the water sources often become contaminated and young children, whose bodies havedifficulty fighting infections, often die. "I am planning on traveling to Washington in March and startspeaking in mid-April. It's been a longtimesincel'vebeenhome, andif I want to better my economic position in Nicaragua, I better get...in gear" Renfro said in a letter to Jerry Swann, the secretary of Bellingham'sCommunity to Community Development (C2C). Renfro plans to talk to as many people as possible inhis four-state tour, Swarm said. Renfro's schedule is tentative but he plans to visit California, Arkansas and Washington D.C. after he finishes his Pacific Northwest schedule. During Renfro's seven year stay, he initiated and completed 12 differ-entprojects, Swannsaid. Thoughmost of his projects dealt withrehabilitating water sources, he also helped build a school, picked coffee beans and purchased oxenfor irrigation of a vegetable plot. His work is purely volunteer. The amount of money he receives isminimal â€” just enough to survive on. Even though his work force is small and the hours are long,Renfro still gets enjoyment from his job, Swann said. Renfro's reports stated that his main contributionsinNicaragua were in Waslala, Matagalpa and Boaco, wrjere he helped at least 5,000 people receiverunning water to their homes. In the rehabilitating process, he putinnew spring boxes, union boxes,pressure-break boxes and installed many miles of tubing to run the water to the homes. Renfro's work isfar from finished, according to his let- Scott Renfro, a Western graduate, will speak about current eventsand development In Nicaragua at 7 p.m., April 22 in the Fairhaven Library. ters. Just this year, he hasfacilitated fivenewprojectscurrentlyin progress. When completed, 8,000 more people will receive water.Renfro also wrote articles against the new political system, about how wrong he thought they were intheir stand. In thepast fewyears, the United States has been virtually, uninformed about what's going onin Nicaragua, not only the misfortune of the contaminated water but also the rise of the UNO politicalparty, Renfro's letters said. Renfro said with the election of Violetta Chamorro, the Nicaraguans couldexpect to have their social benefits rolled back, and they were. Eduardo Galeano, a writer for aNicaraguan paper, wrote an editorial that Renfro said summed up his and many Nicaraguans' feelingstoward the political strife. Galeano wrote, "The Nicaraguan elections were abig blow(to me). A blow likethe hate of God, as a poet said. When I heard the results, I was, and still am, a child lost in the storm. A child lost, I say, but not alone. We are many. Throughout the world, we are many." ---------- Western Front - 1992 April 17 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS April 17,1992 What's up in the world and nation International Afghanistanrebels claim victory KABUL, Afghanistan(AP)~After more than 12 years of fighting, forces in Afghanistanhave reportedly driven the Soviet installed president from power.

The vigil was in conjunction with aworldwide protest against the testing and proliferation of nuclear weapons. Six Bellingham residentsalso took part in a bicycle trek from San Francisco to Nevada to attend a protest at the Nevada NuclearTest Site. The movement is based on the concepts of the book "The Hundredth Monkey", by KenKeyes. The idea is that if enough people (or monkeys) begin to think or act in a certain way, at somepoint enough of the population will adopt these new ways and the entire outlook of the populationNevada Nuclear Test Site on Jan. 27, 1951. Since that time, more than 700 tests have been conducted.The health effects of these tests on the Shoshone, who live downwind from the site, were not taken intoconsideration. Li 1963 the United States, the former Soviet Union and 116 other nations signed theLimited Test Ban Treaty, which outlawed above-ground, underwater and outerspace nuclear detonations.The comprehensive test ban treaty would outlaw underground testing as well. Western studentKerry Halligan, who was taking part in the vigil, summed up his reasons for involvement: "Nucleartesting is such an obvious threat It perpetuates the nuclear arms threat and escalates the threat ofnuclear war," he said. "With the cold war ending, the threat is supposed to be non-existent. So why arewe put- Participants in the vigil said pub-he reaction was generally positive. One man signing thepetitions expressed the hope that he could make a difference. "I can't see the necessity of nucleartesting in any form. After all the testing that 's already been done, it's unnecessary." However, anotherwoman responded by saying, "All the petitions in the world won't help." Vigil participant JustineGuarda, an environmental policy and assessment major, was dismayed at this type of response. Shesaid she believed the goal of the vigil was to fight apathy. "If people argue with me, it's better than beingignored. The facts have to be made available so people can make intelligent choices," she said. Someof the responses, however, defied all known logic. One man With the cold war ending, the threat issupposed to be non-existent. So why are we putting so many resources, time and energy into it? -Western student Kerry Halligan will change. The vigil took place from noon to 5 p jn. The group collected about 100 signatures for two petitions to be sent to President Bush. One called for a comprehensivetest ban on nuclear weapons, and the other dealt with the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley, which gave theWestern Shoshone Nation title to the land on which the Mercury Test Site is now located. Payment forthis land has never been accepted by the Shoshone, who contend that the United States is occupyingthe land illegally. According to literature provided by the group, the first U.S. nuclear weapons test wasconducted at the ting so many resources, time and energy into it?" Another student demonstrator,DougBranson, echoed this viewpoint: "Nuclear weapons testing is unnecessary and poses such amassive threat to all living things. It's wrong to continue when all other major nations have discontinued it." In regard to the issue of the Shoshones, Branson said, "The Shoshone nation should be given backwhat is rightfully theirs. It's a basic issue of justice," he said. "The United States can't be telling othercountries how td treat their people when we're oppressing an entire nation within our own country."grumbled, "They should just bomb Bellingham." Another said, "If we don't test nuclear bombs, how willwe know if they're safe?" Earth Day 1992: local scale for global efforts By Julie Krause staff reporter Incelebration of the earth, Western's Earth Day committee, the Native American Student Union and theInternational Students' Club have scheduled speakers, films, celebrations and rallies throughout themonth of April in hopes of raising awareness of the environmental crisis many say the world and itsinhabitants are facing today. Michael Frome, environmental journalist-in-residence at Huxley College,said the environmental issues explored by such activities as Earth Day, April 22, effect positiveenvironmental change in that they raise public awareness of those issues. "Many people participate in Earth Day for the very first time," Frome said. "It is one of the best ways we have for reaching morepeople." Frome said in order to effect positive environmental change, a change in the structure of thegovernmental system is vital. For this to happen, a change in how the individual views the earth andhis/her role in the environment is necessary. Earth Day and related activities help to make thatchange in the individual, he added. "We have to have a new way of looking at the world and each other," Fromesaid. "Wehave to start giving rather than taking. Earth Day encourages people to think they can make a difference." From this process of change in the individual, Frome said he believes a change in the processes of government is enacted. This change occurs through public involvement, which helps to pressure for enforcement of tough environmental protection laws, he added. "If all the environmentalprotection laws were enforced, there would be no environmental crisis," Frome said. "Laws don't make things happen, people do." Chris Murphy of Western's AS Environmental Center said he hopes theactivities planned for the month of April will be different from past Earth Days in that they will allowpeople to become more involved in the activities.

Williams staff reporter The African American Affairs Commission was given a permanent voice in state government with a Senate vote of 44-3, ending a prolonged effort by Gov. Booth Gardner and Rep.Jesse Wineberry, D-Seattle, to have it permanently established. In a telephone interview, Janice Lewis,executive assistant to the director of the commission, said, "The commission was established byGov. Gardner in 1989 to improve the status and available opportunities for African Americans. However, itcould have been abolished by the next governor if the Legislature had not authorized it by statestatute." Lewis said the nine-member body advises the governor and legislature on issues affecting thestate's African American population, approximately 150,000 people, and acts as a liaison betweenAfrican Americans and state government. The commission on acts as an advocate for AfricanAmericans in societal issues concerning employment, education, health care, housing and economicopportunities. The 1992 agenda has set forth "protection and preservation of the African Americanfamily; fair, equal, accessible services and supports for African Americans; and re-development of theAfrican American community," as the main areas of concentration this year. Commissioners, appointedby the governor from throughout the state, serve terms ranging from one to three years. Members of thecommission include T.J. Vassar, chair of the commission and an official of the Private IndustryCouncil in Seattle; Maxine Mimms, head of The Evergreen State College, Tacoma branch; and JoanneCrosson, vice president of general management and consumer public affairs in U.S. WestCommunications. Lewis said the commission networks with African American organizations, such as the Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to advisethem on the issues and concerns that need to be addressed in the African American communities. Thecommission, which meets every other month, also researches and supplies information on the status ofAfrican Americans to the legislature. Lewis said one current issue deals with infant mortality amongAfrican American babies. A task force was appointed to investigate the increase in infant deathsamong African Americans. Another study, involving juvenile justice, was contracted out to the Universityof Washington. Working with state agencies to improve community awareness on AIDS is anotherissue the commission will research. In addition to working with agencies to investigate issues of concernto the African American community, Lewis said the commission welcomes community involvement and is organizing a series of public meetings (three in eastern Washington and three in westernWashington) to hear the concerns of community members first-hand.

Heritage weekaddresses tribal burial grounds and environment By Kyoko Miyao staff reporter Traditional NativeAmerican burial grounds and environmental issues were discussed at the "B.C. Rainforest Benefit," aprogram in conjunction with Native Cultural Heritage Week, April 10-19. Last Wednesday's event, in theViking Union Main Lounge, was sponsored to "educate others about..what's going on with nativeissues," said Marah Rockhold, member of the Native American Student Union. Marilyn James, a NativeAmerican activist from British Columbia and the main speaker at the benefit, spoke about theprotection of her tribal burial grounds and pollution problems in and around the Columbia River. "I'mgonna give you a quick history lesson," James said in the beginning of her speech. James, of the ArrowLake territory in Vallican, B .C, said her village was destroyed by the British Crown, who ruled Canada in the early 1800s. The Arrow Lakes' people suffered from the small pox virus, which came fromcontaminated blankets brought by the British, she said. "They sent five waves of small pox against mypeople. In other words, they delivered blankets laced with small pox to my people, who hadno...immunity to the blankets, to the disease whatsoever. When the first' shipment of blankets came in,half of my people died...over Â«nd over and over my people suffered great losses." After the third wave ofblankets, her people began to leave the area.

In1984, construction of a bridge over Spokane River was halted after human skulls and six bodies werefound in an ancient Arrow Lakes' burial site called Vallican. It's now called site DJQJ 1 by archaeologists an injunction against Molnar and the developers. It is expensive to keep this injuction, consideringlawyer's fee and court cost fees, but they are continuing the fight, she said. "We're in the process offinalizing the negotiations and part of the site was destroyed," James said. B .C.

The Lakes' elders became upset about takingbodies from the ground because they followed the "Cultural Law," which means that "it is ourresponsibility to return the ancestors' bodies to the earth upon death." Directly north of the DJQJ 1 siteis private property. Part of the burial ground is located on the DJQJ 1 site, and part is on private propertyowned by the Molnar family. The family decided to build a gravel pit about three years ago, James said.T h e Lakes' people opposed this and filed Center. Trie Arrow Lakes' people said they are against thisplan because they don't want their burial sites used as a tourist spot where archaeologists give guidedtours. Thearchaeologistscouldnotfind any more human remains, so the Lakes' people searched forremains without permission. James said she was ordered by her elders to dig up a grave. She foundbones, and when she told the archaeologists about this, they threatened to charge her with trespassingbecause she did not have a pass to dig. The main problem the Arrow it, James said.

However, only a handful of tests have been conductedâ€”p.h., air quality and chlorinelevel. "I'm fairly limited on the tests I can do and also on time-I've only got a small amount of peoplecomplaining," Julie Clinton, environmental health specialist for the Whatcom County HealthDepartment, said. Members of the YMCA swim team have complained of hair loss, s tained teeth andruined bathing suits. The swim team is in the pool for an hour and a half, five days a week. "Everybody'sbeen complaining for along time and they keep ignoring the problem... we've all been swimming inseveral other pools all year and this one is by far the worst we've seen," swim team member Linda Mariz said. She also said swimming suits are ruined in less than a month â€”turning from bright green to faded yellowâ€”and must be worn in layers, as they quickly become transparent. "Even with an anti-chlorinetreatment, I lose lots of hair," one of the lifeguards at the swimming pool who asked not to be identifiedsaid â€” she is afraid her bosses will reprimand her. "The filtration system in this pool works in a wayI've never seen â€” it keeps the chlorine concentrated at the top." Mariz said, "If you don't wear a capyou end up having dry, brittle hair in a few weeks. It's especially noticeable on the guys. Their body hair starts falling off, and they end up with shortstubbleon their chests and s -r." The water does not bouVone, however. "I was a lifeguard for two yeai s at a water park and they really-over-chlorinated the water.It's nothing here compared to that," industrial design major Ryan Morris said. "I've got to admit that thechlorine is higher than in most pools, but if I drop it half a p.p.m. (part per million) the chloraminesbuild up and I can only superchlorinate on quarter breaks," George Bringman, who has been in charge of the pool for 16 years, said. Bringman, with the help of the watershed studies program, set up a testthree years ago for nitrogen trichloride which the state health department used as a model, said hetests the p.h. and chlorine every morning, or more than that if he sees a problem. The automated system that runs the pool's chlorination system and tracks the p.h. level is highly sophisticated. Through asystem of sensors, the machine keeps the chlorine level within one tenth of a p.p.m. of the set level.Back-up pumps and automatic shut-down controls keep the water safe and clean, and the system tracks the levels and records the machine's actions on print-outs throughout the day, he said."It'snotlikeotherpools thathand feed...The minute 20 swimmers get in, the machine immediatelycompensates," Bringman said. "I really can't see anything wrong, and so far the Health DepartmentInternational Students Club will host a dinner at 5 p.m., Saturday in the Viking Union Main Lounge.

"The main thing is that people justdon't take showers before getting into thepool, and this allows chloramines to build up. Chloramines are a combination of ammonia andchlorine which tends to cause eye irritation and the characteristic chlorine . odor in the pool,"Bringman said. "The only way to take care of the chloramines is to superchlorinate." He said he canonly do that on quarter breaks when there are no swimmers. Any complaints concerning the pool orideas concerning other tests should be directed to Julie Clinton at the Whatcom County HealthDepartment, P.O. Box 935, Bellingham, WA 98227 (676-6724.)

Feldman said Yearwood has a wide appeal because sheborrows from different styles of music, including folk, opera, Celtic and sometimes even punk. "I thinkshe is so unique because she crosses overcultures and styles of music," Feldman said. "She has a very strong stage presence and is very dynamic." Yearwood began performing in Calgary coffee houses atthe age of 12. When she was 16, she left home and formed a band. It wasn't until 1989, when she metmusic entrepreneur Cam Noyes, that her career began to take off. Her music is a haunting mix ofbeautiful, almost angelic sounds with poignant straight-to-the-point political lyrics reflecting her tryinglife Christine Feldman experiences, Feldman said. Feldman added that Yearwood has lived throughchild abuse, drug and alcohol abuse and poverty, which are reflected in her music. "She's a woman whohas been through a lot in her life and the intensity really comes through in her mu-sic," Feldmansaid."She's persevered but the music isn't depressing. It's uplifting," she said.

If their platform shoes, polyester groovesuits and furry top hats don't exciteyou, then their incredible high-energy performance will. Uncle Squirrley, one of Bellingham's newestbands, has been together five months. The maniacal members are all pottery students at WhatcomCommunity College. The band is: T Bone on guitar, Junebug Tuesday on bass and the pink oboe,Chappy on trumpet, drums and jugs, Mikie Funster on swinette and percussion and Dr. Lovedaddy onvocals and washboard. The band hasn't received any formal music training, but you could never tell byits performance. Uncle Squirrely's musical style is incomparable to any other group. The band has aguitar-ripping-funky-heavy grungy kind of sound. Tuesday and Dr. Lovedaddy write the lyrics and theband members collaborate on the music. Theband's anthem, "Disco Man," is a funky, upbeat tune thatgets the energy level roaring to red-hot level. Other songs include, "Am I Macho," "Lisa's Waterbed" and"Shaking My Caboose." Once the band gets aposi-tive cash flow, they'll record a demo tape tided,"Knee Deep in a Funky Groove." In anticipation of its potential tape, the band already makes its own"Knee Deep in a Funky Groove'T-shirts withiridescentpaint. Uncle Squirrely performs with an eclecticarray of stage props. Christmas lights, balloons and plastic dime store daisies decorate the stage. Theband also uses a furry orange mushroom stool that Dr. Lovedaddy loves to dance on while he belts outthe tunes. In one incredible performance at Speedy O' Tubbs', the band members used a two-foot wand and a bucket of soapy solution to spread huge bubbles all over a delighted audience. The band'sshenanigans have got them into minor problems in the past. The band was escorted out of the Up UpTavern last month, after things got a little out of control. "We probably won't be asked back for awhile,jorat least for a couple of weeks," Tuesday said. This minor setback has not stopped the full-forceenthusiasm Uncle Squirrely has for its music and performances. The band is dedicated to creating a'Visual orgasm" for an audience to enjoy. This dedication might very well take Uncle Squirrely to the topof "corporate rock," which is definitely the direction it's taking. Uncle Squirrely agreed to an exclusiveTheWesternFront interview on the condition that it occured in the basement of a house on G Street.Meanwhile, a full-on Bellingham rager took place upstairs. The following interview should tell you morethan you could ever possibly want to know about the personal and public lives of Uncle Squirrely bandmembers. Q: Where in the hell did you get your name? A: Chappy: My mom used to make acasserole and she called it Uncle Squirrely. Every family gathering she'd bring freaking-heaping tubs of it. It didn't smell very nice, but everyone loved it anyway ... we didn't want to hurtherfeelings. Q:Where else have you played, besides Bellingham? A: Tuesday: We played at the Moosehead Lodge inYakima. That was our first show. TBone: It was kind of like stepping into cow shit. Tuesday: But we gotfree chicks and wranglers. Chappy: We also played at a Yakima pool hall. It was unpaid, but that'sstandard in our case. Q: Where do you get your costumes? A: Tuesday: We all totally sew andeverything we wear is handmade by the band. I made all the hats. Funster: I wear them. Q: How wouldyou guys describe your music if you had to? A: Tuesday: The Muppet Show on bad acid. Kind of like a big groovy circus of fun T Bone: Yeah, a big groovy-grunge-psychadelic circus from hell. We'reprobably comparable to any other band that puts out high energy. We're always willing to put out.Tuesday: We're probably comparable to any "70s band that you hated. At this point, Dr. Lovedaddy leftthe interview to pass out in a back room, but fortunately the interview continued with the rest of theband members. Q: What direction are you taking with your band? A: Chappy and TBone (in unison):We want to make money, tour Japan and score with the chicks. Funster: I'd like to do a tamponcommercial some day. Tuesday: We're doing a demo as soon as we get the money. When somebody fi-nalrypaysusforashow... We'd like to sell-out as soon as possible. TBone: And I'd like to do a Stair-Master commercial. Tuesday: In our spare time Jonathan Burton/The Western Front From left to right:Mikie Funster, Junebug Tuesday, Dr. Lovedaddy, Chappy and T Bone we record soundtracks for small-time pornos... TBone: With Junebug's video camera. Tuesday: We record people who go to Westernand stuff. Chappy: We have our dreams. Funster: We have bigger dreams than settling for B VDcommercials. Q: When you guys get up on stage in your ultra-chic '70s gear, what are you trying to do? A: Tuesday: Have a good time. We want people to go "Squirrely." Chappy: Don't see a show sober.The music is for us and the audience. T Bone: Just go nuts. Something that pleases the universe. It'shomy, so go nuts. We want people to be comfortable. Something that brings the best karma out ineveryone. Tuesday: And we want to get chicks. Q: What do you stand for? A: Funster: We like Chexcereal. As Les Claypool would say, *them Chex satisfy, they do satisfy.' TBone: We don't want to letanybody in on our tricks. We stand for monkeys, monster trucks and chicks. Chappy: We don't letanybody know about our tricks, tricks are for kids. Q: How would you describe your stageperformances? A: Funster: Our show is more visual than anything else. It's an orgasm for the eye.Tuesday: Sometimes we think we're geniuses, other times we think we're retarded. T Bone: We justmoved here, we're used to apples, cocaine and crack. We work really hard. Chappy: We like to smokecrack and drink tequila shooters, ha ha ha. Tuesday: We take pride in ourmusic. We're not fuck-ups.TBone: We thrive off of the energy of the crowd and we would like them to do the same for us. By theway, we wear costumes. Chappy: Yeah, we don't want to hurt anyone, we just want to be loved.Unfortunately, the interview ended suddenly because the party got out of control and the smell of baconin the house was so overwhelming, that the band members and I had to depart the premises. The bandwill play an all-ages Earth Day show April 17, at Sehome High School. ---------- Western Front - 1992 April 17 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front ACCENT April 17,1992 Photojournalist crusades against domestic violence "I hateyou!

The features of the mud figure are barelyrecognizable, except for the eyes which are wide open but look vacant. He stretches out his arm andclutches a muddy branch, as if he were coming to life. This photograph is part of an exhibit ofphotographs by Tomiko Jones, an anthropology major with an emphasis in visual arts. The exhibit, titled"Arising From The Depths: Buried In My Sandbox," will be on display at the Colophon Cafe inFairhaven, through May 31. Jones said her work is tied to her interest in anthropology and draws thethemes of some of her photographs from the mythologies and folklore of different cultures. The mudphotograph, for example, is part of a series, titled "Emergence," a collection of photographs showing animage of creation â€” human life emerging from the ground. "It is meant to blur the distinction betweenman and earth," she said. "I think this idea was bom out of the creation (stories)." The exhibit will alsodisplay a series of photographs which Jones calls her "Documentary " series. These photographs,mostly untitled, show people in ordinary settings. One photograph shows a silhouette of a man playingbongos as he looks out into the street from an upper-story window. Another photo shows an artist sittingnext to his sculpture in a room which is lit only by narrow streams of sunlight passing through the blinds.The light illuminates the eerie whiffs of smoke, which float from his cigarette. The "Documentary" seriesis being displayed on the top floor of the Colophon Cafe, with the "Emergence" series displayeddownstairs. Jones said this arrangement is intentional. The downstairs photographs represent man inhis lower formâ€”"in the depths." The photographs upstairs show the modem human involved ineveryday activities. It is meant to blur the distinction between man and earth. I think this idea was bornout of the creation (stories). Tomiko Jones Jones, who displayed some of her work at a studentexhibit last spring in the Viking Union Gallery, said she prefers to show her art in cafes rather than artgalleries because it reaches those who do not frequently visit art galleries. "In a cafe, the art issecondary," Jones said. "The arts are approaching them, they aren't approaching the arts." TheColophon Cafe is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.t and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6p.m. An artist's reception takes place at the cafe from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., April 21. Warhol prints at EarthMonth exhibit By Tracy Brewder staff reporter A portfolio of 10 silk-screen prints, titled"EndangeredSpecies,"by the late founder of pop art, Andy Warhol, will be displayed in the Viking Union Gallery.The exhibit, sponsored by the Eastern Washington University Foundation, is on display through May 1.It was selected by Benjamin Sherman, coordinator of the Viking Union Gallery, and Susana Musi, co-coordinator of the Viking Union Gallery, to celebrate Earthmonth in April. "Historically the artcommunity has been really receptive to sensitive contemporary issues and very supportive of them,"Musi said. "This endangered species exhibit serves no t only to support Earth month but to increase theawareness of similar issues." "A lot of these critters, people will never see, especially if they become extinct," Huxley Professor Christine Maguire said. "One needs to have visuals when dealing with non-scientists." Maguire, who teaches bio-diversity, said she believes art can be an effective way ofeducating people on environmental issues. Many people have varying opinions on the endangeredspecies but everyone must learn the facts, she said. The whole reason species become endangered isbecause of habitat destruction. The destruction doesn't come from natural events, such as eruptingvolcanoes, but rather from paved roads and parking lots created by man, Maguire said. David Marsh, anart professor, also said he believes art, especially commercial art in which people come in more contactwith, can be effective in raising environmental issues. He cited Smokey the Bear as an example.Produced in 1983, four years before Warhol's death in 1987, the "Endangered Species" series wasmade in collaboration with New York gallery owner Ronald Feldman and printmaker Rubert Jasen Smith. From an African elephant to a Grevy's Zebra, the broad selection of animal images featured in the series were chosen from well known wildlife photographers with inspiration from Peter Beard, wildlife advocate and photographer, according to a gallery press release. After enlarging and tracing the photographs,Warhol added his own flair, which can be seen in the deliberate off-register line drawings" and brightcolor combinations, David Bourdon wrote in his book "Warhol." Perhaps the most recognizable Warholcharacteristic is the use of the silk-screen process, utilized by the artist as early as 1962, to make hisprojects widely accessible to large audiences, according to Bourdon. Bourdon also wrote that Warholhad a knack for taking on projects he knew would give him the media attention he endlessly craved."Warhol liked to do things that got him publicity, and the 'Endangered Species' series is certainly anexample of this," Marsh said. Although Marsh said he questions the integrity of Warhol's motives inproducing the "Endangered Species" series, he said one can get some understanding of what Warholconsidered important enough to put in front of the public. The reception for Warhol's "EndangeredSpecies" exhibition is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., April 24 in the Viking Union Gallery. Li conjunction withthe gallery reception, Mama Sundays presents John Sirkis, an environmental singer/songwriter fromColorado, who will perform from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Viking Union coffee shop.

Armchair coaches really. In days gone by, the term "Hot Stove League" was used to denotesmall groups of men who gathered at general stores and discussed last season's games. You can betwords were plenty in the late 1870s when catchers began to wear wire masks, and disgruntled fans used terms like "rat trap" and "muzzle" to describe what they viewed as unnecessary equipment. WhenWashington Senators receiver Muddy Ruel referred to catching gear some years back as "the tools ofignorance," he meant he had to be more intelligent and more talented to practice law during theoffseason than he did to play catcher for his team. Ruel was not revealing a well-kept secret. Anyonewho knows baseball history knows playing baseball was not the most intelligent thing a man could dowith his spare time. Baseball was a notoriously dangerous sport before the advent of protectiveequipment Head injuries, broken bones and facial wounds were not uncommon. The sitting duck of thesports world, in the early days of baseball, was the catcher. Any man who, before the advent ofprotective gear, would position himself behind home plate â€” barehanded, bare chested and bare-faced â€” must have been driven by a force that defied intelligent decision making. Catchers had to have aspecial desire to play â€” to (literally) risk life and limb in the name of baseball. Ducking, dodging andcatching pitches that later became known as beanballs, dusters, knuckleballs and hummers â€” whilewearing only trousers and a shirt, and using a rubberband for a mouth protector â€” is not the smartestmove ever made by man. In the early days of baseball men played for the sport of itâ€”monetarycompensation was not offered. From the mid-1840s, when the founder of the New York Knickerbockersauthored a set of rules and challenged the New York Nine to an official game, until 1869 when theCincinnati Red Stockings began paying players, baseball was a"do it for the love of it" sport. For thefirst three decades of GET NOTICED! ADVERTISE IN THE WESTERN FRONT CALL 676-3161organized team play, in the pre-face mask and shin guard decades of baseball, catchers squattedbehind homeplate â€” targets for injury. The fans loved it. About 30 years after organized baseballbegan, a Harvard coach de- Tyng in 1877. Bill Deane, aresearcher with the National Baseball Hall ofFame and Museum in New York, said discrepancies such as this are not uncommon in sports history. An article from the July 1909 Tyng, who later refuted Thatcher's claim, asserted the mask wasinventedforhimby Coach Thayer after Tyng's family protested his catching due to the physical dangers.Regardless of who wore it first, the face mask became standard signed a protective mask. The fanshated it. The introduction of the "birdcage" in the late 1870s brought jeers and cajoling from baseballfans who viewed the use of the apparatus as unmanly. Of course, none of them spent their leisure timelike a duck in a shooting gallery, with small round objects moving toward them from a distance of somesixty feet at unbelievable speeds. Baseball historians disagree on when the mask was invented andwhen it was first worn. Two men, both Harvard catchers, claimed to be the first to wear the mask.Historians do agree, however, that Harvard Coach Frederick Thayer was the inventor. As one story goes, Thayer ordered a catcher to stand directly behind home plate â€” a practice not widely used at thattime. Depending on which historical account a reader follows, the catcher was either Howard Thatcher in 1875 or James issue of Baseball Magazine contains a first-person account of Thatcher's experience ascatcher for the Harvard team. He wrote that pitches were overhand and swift, and the catcher stood nearthe batter with no face protection. Thatcher said he could dodge pitches pretty well, but in the winter of1875, a pitcher "started practicing the underhand throw and discovered that the ball would curve." "I hadto catch for him too, and I sat about thinking how Icouldprotect my face." Thatcher went on to explainhow Thayer helped him make a wire mask with straps for the chin and forehead. Thatcher said he worethe mask the first time in spring 1876 and was ridiculed by fans who considered it an unnecessary piece of equipment. According to Thatcher's account, he threw the mask away and the coach "took it upand had it patented." equipment for catchers. The "birdcage" became the first of many protectivedevices designed for baseball players. A. chest protector for catchers came into use in 1885, and in1890 the first padded catcher's mitt was introduced in team play. According to The Baseball Book ofWhy by Dan Schlossberg, inadequate padding in the mitt was overcome by stuffing it with goosefeathers or an uncooked beefsteak. The catchers "outfit" was complete with the addition of shinguards and a helmet in 1908. Though improvements weremadeovertheyears, new items were notadded until Steve Yeagher of the Los Angeles Dodgers designed a throat guard and used it in 1977.Although the pitcher and catcher are members of the same team, the pitcher concentrates on putting the ball down the alley â€” pitching it through the middle of the strike zone â€” to put a batter out. Pitchershave devised numerous ways to do this, all of them potentially injurious for the catcher. The advent oftrick pitches â€” from the curve ball to the split-finger fastball â€” has made protection essential for the player who crouches in that chalked-off area behind the batter, fielding balls hurling in his directionat speeds of up to 100 mph. Is wearing a face mask a way of shirking the normal dangers of the position of catcher? Why don't we get back to the days of real baseball, when men were men and sissiesweren't allowed to participate? Rest assured nobody from the hot stove league â€” the fans ofyesteryear who sat around during the offseason talking baseball, waiting for opening day to rollaround â€” ever took a fast pitch in the face.' Otherwise, they would'vehadmore respect for FrederickThayerâ€”and the benefactors of his invention.

"Our home opener didn'tlook so hot," senior shortstop MarieSchott said. "But we'vereally improved since last year and since the beginning year." Schott said thatthe number of girls who turned out was smaller than in years past. Senior catcher Teresa Hansen agreed that the team may have traded quantity for quality with the excellent pool of athletes the Vikingsacquired. "Each year has been an improvement year for us because we keep adding talent to ourprogram," Hansen said. The opponents Western faced have primarily beenjunior and communitycoUeges.butthey've also come across the likes of tough varsity programs from the University of PugetSound, Simon Fraser University and Lewis- Clark College. Senior left-fielder, Laurrah Williams saidthese were some of the more challenging contests, but the team was able to hold its own. "They're alittle tougher," Williams said. "They have better pitching because they're able to recruit, but we didn'tdo too terribly awful against them." Hansen said it is frustrating at times being a club sport because theteam is not able to practice everyday and do the things it needs to do to effectively compete with thesesoftball powerhouses. But all that changes next year when the Vikings softball club will be able toattain varsity status. "This clubsporthas come along, way so it's great to see. I've seen it really takeshape," Hansen said. "When we play like we can play -we do well against (UPS and SFU); but (nextyear) when we practice everyday and play as a varsity sport, I think we can be right with them." Part ofthe improvement this year has come from the ease the younger members of the team were able toconvert from slowpitch to fastpitch softball. Players who join a collegiate program, coming out of aWashing-c o u. c CO Jeff Dropleman unleashes his intermural softball game ton State high school,are required to make this transition. Although fastpitch is a much more articulate game involving somefiner points and strategies not seen in slowpitch, Hansen said the conversion is not as traumatic as itmight seem. "Several players that come from slowpitch teams have no trouble at all," she said. "Youfind out that the better athletes have no problems at all converting... and with a little coach-batting powerin an ing they're fine." "It's (fastpitch) a lot more fun," Williams added. "There's a lot more to it. It'smost definitely moreofapitcher's game." On April 9, a double-header against Skagit Valley CommunityCollege turned into a hitter's game for the Vikings who "played marvelously" and were able to steal thevictories, as well as some confidence for the tournament this weekend in Yakima, Schott said. ---------- Western Front - 1992 April 17 - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Western Front April 14,1992 â€¢WHALE WATCHING: * ADVERTISE IN THE WESTERNFRONT 676-3161 â€¢Valid March, April May â€¢Free Brochure (206) 268-9300 *(with your WWU I.D.Card) !

TheViet Nam War differed, however, because it included systematic environmental destruction by the U.S.-South Vietnamese forces as a weapon against the communist forces of North Viet Nam. Ten years of defoliating Viet Nam's forests with herbicides and napalm left not only polluted soil and water, but alsodestroyed whole ecosystems â€” which villagers were part of and depended on for food. Before modern warfare's destruction, the environment of Viet Nam was a mosaic of different ecosystems foundnowhere else on earth. At sea level there were mangrove-tree tidelands teaming with birds, mollusks,crabs, fish and snails dependent on the nutrients released from fallen mangrove leaves. Humans weretied into this system, harvesting wood and sealife. The lowlands of Viet Nam were classic tropicalrainforest, home to rare and unique animals such as elephants, tigers, wild boar, wild cow, deer, andrhinoceros (now extinct in Viet Nam). Huge lowland swamps, wet during monsoons, were home tohundreds of bird species, including storks and cranes found only in Viet Nam. With mountains rising to8,000 feet, Viet Nam also had unique deciduous rainforests and pine forests, home to humans whopracticed shift- Map 3. Four diagrams comparing South Viet Nam to various states. More bombs weredropped on Viet Nam, a country approximately the size of the state of Florida, than were dropped duringall of World War II. ing agriculture. Throughout Viet Nam, humans lived in close contact with the land.Peaceful villages in the lowlands used palm and bamboo for shade and shelter. They were surroundedby rice fields, fruit trees and simple irrigation systems. Overall, human ties with the land were based onseasons and the diversity of life around them. This ecological system was shattered by the Viet NamWar. The research of ecologists E.W. Pfeiffer, Barry Weisberg, Arthur Westing and others show thegruesome ecological effects of the war. In a nation about the size of Florida, more than 25 million bombcraters, often 30 feet deep and 45 feet wide, littered the land. These craters, which rendered the landuseless for agriculture, became ponds and breeding grounds for malaria-transmitting mosquitos. Intotal, about 2.2 million hectares (1 hectare = 2.47 acres) of forest and farmland were completelydestroyed by bombing, mechanized land clearing by bulldozers and plows, napalm and chemicaldefoliation. A total of 5.6 million hectares were damaged. While previous wars (and the Persian GulfWar) caused destruction by bombing and machinery, the Viet Nam War employed the weaponry of toxic herbicide chemicals to defoliate and kill forests. To expose the hiding areas of North Vietnameseguerrillas, from 1962-1969 the U.S. aerially sprayed more than 2 million hectares with more than 100million pounds of chemicals. By 1971, about 54 percent of the mangrove forests and 50 percent ofeconomically valuable timber had been killed. The chemicals sprayed included not only the infamousAgent Orange, but also Agents' Purple, Blue and White. These contain toxic and cancer-causingchemicals such as "2,4-D," dioxins and arsenics.

In other areas, the tropical soil has become hard and untillable from weathering.Much of the swampland, drained during the war, has never recovered from the persistence of defoliatechemicals and acidification of the soils. As in the Persian Gulf, the Viet Nam War represented adisruption of the whole ecosystem, including the destruction of Vietnamese cultural ties with theenvironment.

It is much poorer and isolated, yet willing to transform itseconomic system to entice foreign investments. Over the past three years a program pf economicrenovation â€” doi moi â€” has enabled Viet Nam to lure investors from Taiwan, Japan, Australia andEurope. Through favorable tax laws, special economic areas and willing joint-venture partners, VietNam is pursuing a course to become a member of the economically stable countries in Asia. With the change in economic structure also comes the change in how the rest of the world will interact with VietNam. American veterans and humanitarian volunteers are beginning to visit the devastated country,trying to create trust and a new understanding. The rapid growth in the Pacific Rim during the 1980scompletely bypassed Southeast Asia. Viet Nam was caught up in a war.with Cambodia, wasrebuilding after 30 years of struggle against imperialists and was enjoying some support from the nowdisassembled Soviet Union. Now that Viet Nam has withdrawn all of its troops from Cambodia and Sovietaid is not forthcoming, it is willing to spend more time and effort on restructuring its poor and troubledeconomy. But without the cooperation of their old enemy, the United States, the vital nation-buildingloans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank will remain out of reach. drawalof Vietnamese troops from Cambodia, was met, but only after an agreement was reached on howCambodia would be ruled after Viet Nam's withdrawal. The foremost reason for Viet Nam's involvement in Cambodia is the fear of the return of the murderous Khmer Rouge. Unfortunately, VietNam's otherarchenemy, China, supports the Khmer Rouge and the United States considers its relationship withBeijing more The United States must abandon its adversarial role with Viet Nam and realize that bothcountries will benefit from a new understanding. As Viet Nam pushes to open the doors of economicreform, the United States has firmly wedged its foot against that door by continuing to impose theTrading With the Enemy Act, first imposed onNorth VietNam in 1964 and then saddled on the entirecountry in 1979. In order for the embargo to be lifted, the U.S. has imposed conditions on its formerenemy. The first condition, the with-v aluable than its possible relationship with Hanoi. Fortunately, theUnited Nations recently sent 20,000 peacekeeping troops to Cambodia to disarm all the competingforces and oversee the promised elections. The second condition the Viet Nam government mustaddress is the issue of American POW/MIAs. Once again, Viet Nam has been extremely cooperative. In the past, the Hanoi government would only release remains of U.S. servicemen when it saw that apolitical point could be made. This type of behavior did nothing but anger United States officials andcast suspicion on Viet Nam's true motives. Many Americans are very sensitive about the POW/MIAissue, but, realistically, most of those still missing will never be found. 'Twenty percent of theAmericans who died during World War II and in Korea continue to be missing in action. But the bodies of only about four percent of Americans killed in Viet Nam have still not been recovered," StanleyKarnouw, journalist, said. The Americans investigating the POW/MIAs, led by General John Vessey,have been allowed to travel to the most remote regions of Viet Nam to look for possible clues ofservicemen who are still missing. In August 1991, Hanoi opened its classified war files in a show ofgood faith in the search for remains; furthermore, arrangements have been made for a permanent office in Hanoi for the U.S. investigation team. The situation is now out of the Vietnamese government'shands. They have done much more than could have been expected, and yet there are still factions inWashington who prefer that the United States have nothing to do with its former enemy. While theUnited States is denying itself access to the potentials Viet Nam offers, other nations have seized theopportunity to create contacts without the giant U.S. presence. Japan, Taiwan, Australia and Europeare all making tentative investments in Viet NanVs fragile economy. The Japanese are especiallyinterested in the potential Viet Nam offers, but are unwilling to make large investments for fear ofoffending its number one trading partner, the United States. The talk of trade and business opportunitiesin Viet Nam loses most of its importance when one realizes that there is a great deal of needlesssuffering and poverty. The United States must abandon its adversarial role with Viet Nam and realize that both countries will benefit from a new understanding. The average wage of a Vietnamese citizen isroughly $200 per year. The Hanoi government is practically begging for investments, but investorsare wary because the country's infrastructure Please see Viet Nam/U.S. relations, page 14 ---------- Western Front - 1992 April 17 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front ISSUES OPTNTONS April 17,1992 Victims of sexual violence: who will hearthem cry? There is a growing problem in our country, and it can no longer be ignored. The issue isviolence, and we need to do something about it. Today, the most alarming and widespread issue ofviolence on America's college campuses is rape. One reason for this may be due to the prevalent use ofalcohol and drugs in the college environment Elva Giddings, of the Substance Abuse Prevention Center,said that a large majority of acquaintance rapes involve the use of alcohol or drugs. Although very fewrapes are reported, a recent study by the American College Health Association reported that anestimated one in four women are victims of rape or attempted rape. Of these women, 84 percent of theirassailants were boyfriends or acquaintances. The survey also found that one in two college students were victims of some type of sexual aggression. Mary Koss, a psychologist at Kent State University,conducted a nationwide survey of students on 32 college campuses. In her study, she found only 5percent of rape victims report an acquaintance rape to police. In addition, only 5 percent of those rapedsought help from a crisis center after it occurred. These figures are starting. Startling enough for a woman to fear for her safety. But living in fear is not the answer. Rather, awareness is the key to this widespread problem. There have been no forcible rapes reported on Western's campus since 1986. It is wrong toassume that no rapes have occurred. But it is safe to assume that no rapes have been reported becauseWestern has no crisis center for women or men to turn to after they are raped. Across the nation, atuniversities like Stanford, the need for rape crisis centers is a growing trend that is finally being realized.Perhaps it is time that Western researched and provided a center with a fully-trained staff that can handle the magnitude of a rape. â€¢ We are fortunate to have Whatcom County Crisis Center, but since theaverage rape victim's age is estimated at 18 years of age, it is obvious that we need a rape crisis centeron this campus that can offer legal advice and emotional counseling for women and men who are victims. Without this service, rape victims are afraid to step forward. A victim may be afraid to go to a hospital orpolice station because they often do not receive the emotional care necessary after a rape. The reportingof a rape is often a degrading experience, and often the victim feels the attack was the victim's fault; thus,they won't report it. And with the recent treatment of rape victims in the media, it is no wonder reports ofrape on our campus are few and far between. Who would come forward if they knew they were going to be persecuted time and again for an act they had absolutely no control over? We need a 24-hour crisiscenter that would allow women and men to feel comfortable when stepping forward to press chargesagainst their attackers. Most4mportantly, we need a crisis center that can help a victim recover from thetrauma of rape. It's time to make our voices heard. Men and women on this campus need to letadministrators know that a rape relief center is vital to the well-being of Western students. Without acrisis center on our campus, rapes will continue to go unreported. One of your friends may become avictim of rape, or worse, it could be you.

We're aware that so far it is responsible for theworst grade ever on the evolving report card of U.S. military destruction. It will also go down in historyas the war that changed the U.S. government's methods of rounding up and maintaining support for war. In the tragedy of war, the only glimmer of hope a person can expect is that lessons have been learned.But what lessons were learned in Viet Nam? It would be nice to be able to say that, in Viet Nam, welearned that it was possible for the people of this country to take control of the military when it got out ofhand. But our leaders are smarter than that. It appears they've figured out how to go about theirbusiness anyway, all the while feeding the public only that information which benefits their well-orchestrated tactics, promoting their self-interest. Don Alper, of the political science department, said he originally thought one of the lessons of Viet Nam was that the government would no longer be able to expect to engage in military enterprise without leveling with the public. It was a logical enoughconclusion. Once Walter Cronkite went public with his views about the war, and field journalists began reporting the war in terms of its human consequences, instead of the traditional level with the public in the Gulf War, Alper said. Military censorship of the press gave the American public a clean,sophisticated account of the war that denied a real understanding of the violence, tragedy and death that always accompanies military action â€” the truth, if you will. "The Gulf War may be a model for thefuture," Alper said. "It looks great on television. If you do it quick "The Gulf War may be a model for thefuture. It looks great on television. If you do it quick and cleanly and get the hell out of there, the publicwill support it." Professor Don Alper, political science department bloodless casualty counts andterritory exchanges, the public no longer could support it as feverishly as the government would haveliked, and the war-makers had to put a stop to it. But our government learned to suppress democracy,while claiming to be fighting for it. The government clearly did not and cleanly and get the hell out ofthere, the public will support it." Alper also said that with the proper restraints and controls overairwaves, modern communication might make it easier to control public opinion. If Panama and the GulfWar See Govt, manipulation, page 15 Viet Nam/U.S. relations, continued from page 13 is crumblingafter 30 years of war and 20 years of subsequent neglect Without the essential IMF andWorldBankloans, Viet Nam will not be able to produce a decent standard of living for its citizens. While Viet Namhas been denied U.S. foreign aid, an increase in tourism and humanitarian assistance has forged links between Viet Nam and the rest of the world, including the United States. For example, the StanfordUniversity program, Volunteers in Asia, has been sending teachers to Vietnamese universities sinceJanuary, 1991. American veterans are returning too, many to see the country for the first timewithout the emotions and memories of fear and hate. Psychiatrists have said that it is a good thing forAmerican veterans who are troubled by the war to return to Viet Nam. Many veterans have a sense ofunfinished business; they left Viet Nam but Viet Nam has not left them. Not all veterans want to go back, however. Some have made their peace in other ways. Others will never find peace of mind again. Theopportunity, though, should be available for those who find the need to return and relive a tormentingpart of their lives. Throughforming friendships with Vietnamese people, true understanding will begin.One person sending a letter to friends in the United States has the power to touch many more lives andpossibly offer a solution to the problems that separate the two countries.The war between VietNam andthe United States is a common connection; both sides should use that terrible incident to pull the twonations together, establishing a strong and lasting relationship. As novelist and journalist JamesFallows said in an Atlantic magazine article, "When politicians like the senators John McCain, RobertKerrey and John Kerryâ€”men who fought and suffered in Viet Nam â€” say it is time to forgive theirformer enemies...then others can safely go along." Let us hope that these soldiers who led in battle can lead the United States in the right direction: toward forgiveness. Viet Nam is on the verge of aneconomic revival and the United States should play a role. The major obstacles have been overcome:withdrawal from Cambodia and assistance in finding any MIAs or POWs. Now is the chance for theUnited States to say, "let's talk, let's begin again." The United S tates does have to understand itsvital role in the redevelopment of Southeast Asia: people are simply poorer because of America policyin the area. In addition, there is still a need to heal all the wrong that was done in Viet Nam, Cambodiaand Laos; veterans from both sides still suffer from the horrors of a guerilla war and the non-stopbombing. Seventeen years is too long; let us begin a dialogue now. Michael Wilker, a Fair havenstudent in his junior year, is planning to study in Hanoi next fall. Viet Nam environment, continued frompage 13 leave the war-torn environment and the influence of guerrilla recruiting. This systematicdestruction of the ecosystem-was termed "ecocide" by philosophers such as Jean Paul Sarte, who sawit as a form of genocide. This may be an accurate description. During the war, refugees flooded Saigon, increasing the city's population by more than 100 percent in ten years. Many suffered (and many stillsuffer) from the sanitation problems, air and water pollution and disease of the city. Today, manyveterans and civilians from the U.S. and VietNam who were exposed to herbicides are dying fromcancer. And some must suffer with the additional pain of birth defects in their children. Nearly 17 years after the Viet Nam War, the environment and the cultural ties to the land are finally being restored.Vietnamese culture and history is filled with people who. possess a spirit and determination to overcome all obstacles facing their survival â€” whether it be foreign invading nations or environmentaldestruction. Thus, Viet Nam has a national goal of planting more than 200,000 hectares of forest per year. In doing so, they hope to recreate the ecological structure of tropical forests. Mangroverestoration is slower, taking 20 to 30 years to recover. General Giap, a former leader of the NorthVietnamese army who is now an environmentalist, once said, "Today I fight for Vietnam's environmentâ€” and for peace." These words reveal a dedication to forming new ties with the environment. Viet Namsurvives by innovation â€” salvaging and recycling the metal from remnants of weapons, restoringfarmland, and fish farming in bomb-crater ponds. The sustainable practice of agro-forestry restores theforest for wood supplies while yielding food crops such as bananas, beans and sweet potatoes. Thoughthe reasons for environmental destruction differed in the Viet Nam War and the Persian Gulf War, theeffects are the same: a ripping apart of natural and human ecosystems for the benefit of so-calledpeace. But ecological warfare is apart of the constant war between man and his machines against thepeople who live â€¢ in harmony with the earth. As Barry Weisberg writes in "Ecocide in Indochina,"Long after the U.S. withdraws her troops and technology, America will remain in Asia in the soils, air, ---------- Western Front - 1992 April 17 - Page 15 ---------- April 17,1992 ISSUES OPINIONS The Western Front 15 Government manipulation, continued frompage 14 are any indication, he's probably right The only way this wouldn' t occur is if people cried outagainst military censorship so that modem technology could aid in reporting the truth. But that won'thappen either because the American people are ignorant enough to think patriotism and flag-waving aremore important than the real issues and events involved in military adventures. "Democracy gets in theway when you're fighting wars," said Vernon Johnson, professor of political science. Johnson said hewas particularly shocked at the ignorance of some people who came to his door asking questions in thedays preceding the Gulf War. People accept the government's interpretations too easily, he said."(During Viet Nam) there were a lot of people who felt that we would have been okay over there if weweren't divided at home. There was an attitude that you should keep your mouth shut and support them," Johnson said. The same attitude was prevalent during the Gulf War, but Viet Nam taught thegovernment how to play on the people for support They made sure it happened quickly and it wasbrought to the people by the obedient press as a surgical, bloodless contest pitting good vs. evil. Thelessons of Viet Nam are clearly not what they seemed at the time. The absence of the Soviet Unionas a deterrent and the ability of the U.S. to do whatever it wants spells trouble for the people of the thirdworld. Now they're stepping up the rhetoric on Libya. Who's going to stop them from dropping a fewbombs on Tripoli? The people of this country need to understand that their complacence spells death for other people and is unacceptable. They need to demand the whole truth even if their president tellsthem it's unpatriotic to do so. And the press better fight like hell to bring the truth to them. Because themost important lesson from VietNam is that the military and those in charge of the military are goingto do what they want anyway, even if it means denying people the truth. Letters to the editor Rallyorganizers explain philosophy of Take Back the Night engaging in normal behavior outside their homesalone, after dark, is a frightening sign of how. women are held prisoners by a climate of violence. Alarge group of women walking the city's streets at night without men is also a sign. It is a sign of ourdetermination to work for change until we are safe in our homes and on our streets â€” without achaperone or body-guard. Men marching with us would be seen as protectors and not equals. This is the plain, hard truth in our violent, sexist society. Secondly, a small demonstration of women's unity is notonly justified, it is not enough. Women are approximately 50 percent of our population, but five percent of the total members of Congress, 17 percent of state legislators, four percent of corporate boards andnine percent of college presidents. The few advances made in the past 20 years are still under attack.With such an obvious advantage in gaining power and attention, surely men can be excluded from oneevent, one night out of 364 without feeling threatened. We understand many men wish to show solidarity with women and with our cause. We appreciate and encourage this support Men wanting to do morethan attend the rally are wecome to help with set-up, cleanup, publicity and most of all, child care.Such assistance will be vital to the evening's success. We welcome all concerned individuals toattend Take Back the Night at 6:30 p.m., April 23 in the Performing Arts Center Plaza. Let's worktogether to end violence against women.

The rally will be open to all andthe march will be reserved for women only. This policy has caused much anger and misunderstanding inthe past, and we would like to explain our reasons for a women only march.

At 1p.m. Saturday, some 300 demonstrators gathered on the grass behind Bellingham Public Library tomarch and rally protesting American economic and military intervention in El Salvador. The marchstarted at 1:15 and proceeded in one lane through city streets, escorted by one Bellingham police carand three motorcycles. The demonstration was sponsored by the May Second Coalition, a groupcomposed of Bellingham labor leaders and the local chapter of the Committee in Solidarity with thePeople of El Salvador (C1SPES). Marchers chanted political slogans in unison and rhythm â€” "1â€” 2â€”3â€”4, U.S. Out of El Salvador!" . . . "5â€”6â€”7â€”8, get out before it's too late!". . . "No draft, no war, get U.S. out of El Salvador!" . . . "U.S. guns kill U.S. nuns!" Onlookers stopped on thesidewalks and stared. Some came out of stores to see what was happening and others joined in,swelling the ranks of the demonstrators as the march proceeded. Some in cars honked horns andwaved in approval, fueling the marchers' emotions all the more. A-middle-aged woman in a car thrust herhand out the window and gave the peace sign. " ~ "'' "I think it's the right thing. 1 don't think the U.S.belongs in El Salvador â€” or in any other country," another said. But other observers were skeptical. "Ithink they'd be just as well off at home. I never did such as that. I RTHVVÂ£ST WHOLESALE â€¢Some 300 demonstrators marched through downtown Bellingham Saturday protesting American military intervention in El Salvador. The march was described by one policeman as "peaceful." don't know muchabout it," one man commented. "I believe this is communist inspired. (The) El Salvador people arekilling each other themselves," another man said. Marchers ranged in age from late teens to about 60.Most appeared in their 20s. The demonstrators carried a '''V^Y"â„¢aTfr'ay''of'a''p^fes^stgns"â„¢:^ "Haig-Reagan war crime in EI Salvador must end" . . . "Stop U.S. aid to El Salvador". . . "Viet Nam â€” ElSalvador, no way." Leading the march, two men carried a yellow banner calling for no U.S. intervention in El Salvador, while a woman coordinated the marchers' chanting and shouting with a hand-heldmegaphone. The demonstration proceeded smoothly in contrast to many protests during the '60swhen police and demonstrators clashed. One policeman said it was "very peaceful" and "quite good."Protesters shouted, clapped and cheered upon returning to the .library, grounds at 2 p.m. "We are veryangry" about the things happening in El Salvador, Donna Langston, one of the rally organizers, told thecrowd from a wooden stage about 10-feet-square equipped with microphones and two large speakers.Guitarists played anti-war and anti-big-business songs and poets read poems protesting injustice in ElSalvador. John McClendon, a Fairhaven professor, asked the crowd, "Do we know what the U.S.government is doing in our name? Do we want to know? " American intervention is "our"responsibility, he said. McClendon said American influence in third-world countries such as ElSalvador is motivated by selfish, capitalistic interests. The United States is purposefully repressing ElSalvador by sending aid in order to guard American interests, he claimed. The American governmentuses the threat of spreading Soviet communism to manipulate Americans, he added. "The Sovietthreat is a tool of the American government to control the people of the United States," McClendon said. If Cuba is aiding the revolutionaries of El Salvador, they are to be "congratulated," he said, for helpingthe people to liberate themselves. The American government is supporting the wrong side and as aresult supporting terrorism, McClendon said. "That's what this demonstration , is all about â€” we arenot willing to continue the killings. We're the people of the United States and we won't put up with it," hesaid. "This is a matter of life and death." McClendon likened American intervention in El Salvador to U.S. intervention in Guatemala in 1954, Chile in 1963 and the Dominican Republic in 1965. Rick Sawyer,president of the Central Labor Council, also spoke, protesting American aid to El Salvador and the threat of war. He also criticized the Reagan administration's cutting of social programs and increasedmilitary spending. Toward the end of the rally, six mock soldiers dressed in green military attire with "ElSalvador Security Force" signs on their backs stormed the stage. They grabbed Sawyer and threatened the audience with toy machine, guns and pistols. "These people (the speakers) are against thegovernment! We're up here training too. We have all your names!" a soldier told the booing and hissingcrowd. After more singing, the rally ended at about 3 p.m. Non-residents safe until fall by MARKCARLSON British Columbians and other non-resident students at Western will pay resident tuition ratesfor summer quarter, Western Controller Donald Sturgill said Sunday. The decision granting B.C. students one more quarter of resident rates, hammered out last week in Olympia, means Canadians and othernon-residents will pay $283 for the six- and nine-week summer sessions. But that figure will vault to $960 per quarter beginning fall quarter and escalate to $ 1,060 per quarter in 1982 under the terms of a tuitionbill passed by this year's state Legislature. Part-time non-resident students will be charged either $28 or$29 per credit, Sturgill said, adding the Board of Trustees will decide later which rate will be assessed.The board will meet Thursday, when it will discuss the per credit fee, Sturgill said. Sturgill said thedecision to grant B.C. students one final reprieve from the imminent 500 percent tuition increase wasbased upon representatives of Washington's higher education institutions working with members of theLegislature and Gov. John Spellman's office. The future of Western's more than 400 full- and part-timeCanadian students has been in limbo since the Senate last month hashed out a tuition bill that would not renew the reciprocity arrangement between British Columbia and Washington. Hopes for continuedreciprocity, which expires July 31, were rekindled when the House introduced legislation that would haveallowed B.C. students already enrolled in Washington universities to continue paying resident tuition fees. But that hope was gavelled into oblivion when the Legislature adjourned last week. The Senate bill,dubbed SB 4090, eventually was passed by the Legislature, and now needs Spellman's signature tobecome law. Spellman has said he will sign the 66 percent, two-step increase. Planning council outburst TV director under fire by STEVE CLAIBORNE A flare-up at the University Planning Council meeting last week was the latest episode in a year-long dispute over how Western's television director positionshould be funded. Because of the incident, the council postponed until tomorrow a decision whether theuniversity will finance half of the controver- ' sial position as classified staff or risk losing the currentdirector. During the discussion to draft a priority list for possible classified staff increases, Wilson Library Director Robert Lawyer loudly denounced the program which includes a student-produced televisionnews show on Channel 10 and basketball broadcasts. Most of Lawyer's criticism, however, was reserved for director-producer Al Smith, who trains students in television production, direction, control roomand camera operations. Lawyer is the current "overseer" of the program, which is funded as part of thelibrary's educational media services. "It is an embarrassment to the university," Lawyer said. "Smithisn't working half the time anyway. He is an entrepreneur and has functioned as that in this position." As Lawyer rose to his feet and turned toward the door, council member Marvin Olmstead stood facingLawyer and raised his arms as the heated discussion continued. "You're not going to double up yourfists are you?" Lawyer asked as he stared into Olmstead's face. "No, my hands are open. Please sitdown and join us," Olmstead said, his face growing red. Lawyer said he did not understand why hehad been invited to the meeting, asked if anyone else had any questions and abruptly left the room.'You're not going to double up your fists, are you?' Lawyer asked. Lawyer had been invited by thecouncil's chairman James Albers, vice president for instruction and planning, to sit with the council as itconsidered the university's classified staff, or non-faculty, priorities. The top priority submitted to thedean of the College of Arts and Sciences is a half-time position to finance the television producer. It isone of 11 alternatives from which the council must choose. "I will take responsibility for this,"Albers said. He added he had thought Lawyer would want to sit with the council during the meeting. Brewing formore than a year, the controversy whether to keep' the television producer has been studied by theplanning council. It was ready to make a decision until Lawyer's outburst. The council decided, as aresult, to ask the chairmen of the three departments that use the television producer's time andresources to attend the meeting tomorrow. The chairmen of journalism, technology and speechdepartments, therefore, were requested by the council to once again present their opinions andarguments about the position. The three chairmen have expressed their support for the program severaltimes in the past. "We will then decide what to do about the position," "Albers said. He said he was alittle surprised by Lawyer's action at tJie meeting. In an interview the day after the meeting, Lawyer said,"I have nothing against Al Smith. He is one hell of a good operator, but I just continued on page six ---------- Western Front - 1981 May 5 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1981 Up Front Sobel stars on KUGS Associated StudentsPresident Greg Sobel will be the featured guest on KUGS' Perspective Show at 5 p.m. today.

Jirkawithdraws bid by GARY SHARP Associated Students Representative Bob Jirka withdrew hiscandidacy for a second term as vice president for external affairs Thursday, claiming his filingapplication was a challenge to apparent discrepencies in the AS election code. Jirka said his intentionwas to confront the election board with contradictory language concerning whether a petition of 25supporters was required to file for a position. . The language problem is in Section IV of the code,which states under Filing Period that candidates "shall"submit a petition, and under Filing Procedures, where it says candidates "may" submit petitions. Jirka filed an application without a supportingpetition, then waited for a Thursday ruling from the election board. Board Chairman Jamie Beletz saidthe board determined Jirka's candidacy valid because of the obvious discrepencies in the code, butadded the board will make recommended changes to the AS board to avoid similar challenges in thefuture. AS President Greg Sobel said the changes will be included in a list of other wording problems invarious AS codes, charters and bylaws. Language differences will be solved by next year's elections, headded. Jirka withdrew after the ruling. He also said he is not considering a write-in campaign againstSobel at this time. â€¢ Beletz retracted an earlier statement Sunday of his intention to recommend theelection board disqualify write-in candidates, admitting the board has no authority for such an action.But he said he was concerned with a lack of a spending ceiling on write-in campaigns.

What happens to the blood I donate? How much blood is needed each day in the Puget Sound Blood Center area? (This is a seven-county area.) Why is so much needed?The average-sized woman has about eight pints. The average-sized man about 10 pints. One pint, orabout one cupful red cells and one cupful plasma. The plasma is restored in about 24 hours, the red cells in two to four weeks. You may safely donate blood four to five times yearly. It must be processed withinfour to six hours so it is sent to the Puget Sound Blood Center in Seattle. There it is separated intocomponent parts and stored until needed. One pint may serve three different patients. Whole blood maybe stored 35 days. Approximately 425-450 pints a day for five days must be drawn to meet each week'sdemand.

SELL Even though he is running unopposed,Greg Sobel said he hopes to make the most of his campaign for a second term as Associated StudentsPresident. "My first reaction was one of disappointment," Sobel said when he realized no one was tryingto knock him out of office. "It takes away some of the excitement." "People have a right to a choice,especially for the person who's going to be leading student government," he said. Sobel said he isconcerned no competition in the race for the top AS slot "would make it harder to get students interestedin the issues and the election." Trying to counterbalance that, Sobel said he will use his campaign timeto raise student awareness of the rest of the election. "Not having any serious opposition at this time frees me up to put my energy to other things related to the election," he said, "such as talking about issuesthat I think students need to be more aware of, encouraging people to look into and question the othercandidates and student government in general." Sobel is "totally opposed" to disqualifying write-incandidates in mid-election, he said, and still has his fingers crossed that one might come after his job."I've heard that might happen," he said. "In a way I kind of hope it does. I hope it's an individual who hassome sort of philosophical difference from myself, so that we can have some interesting kind of action."ZEPHYR RECORDS ROCK â€¢ JAZZ â€¢ CLASSICS JEWELRY â€¢ GIFTS SMOKING ACCESSORIES OFFl! any $6.99* record with this ad!

They see it on the news nightly and feel it as they scurry in fear downpoorly lit streets. Perhaps less known is the fact that more than 50 percent of the crimes committed inthe United States are by people between'16 and 25 years old. Juvenile crime, usually acts of vandalismby kids at the lower end of that age bracket, has taken a much more serious overtone in Bellingham over the past decade. - ''There has been a tremendous increase in the severity of violent crimes againstpersons by juveniles in our area in recent years," Deputy Administrator for Whatcom County JuvenileProbation Renier Elenbaas said. Elenbaas, who has worked with juvenile offenders for more than 18years, said because Bellingham has become more of a metropolis in the past 10 years, the opportunityfor juvenile crime is more prevalent. "We have changed from being a small, rural town into a larger city.This feature attracts many undesirable elements," he said. Elenbaas stressed the real problemsassociated with juvenile crime rests with the court system and juvenile laws in Washington State. "Thelaws have changed so much," he said. "Kids are now in detention for everything. All they do is come in,do their time, and leave â€” no rehabilitation or anything." The more experienced juvenile The detentionfacility in Bellingham, which serves all of Whatcom County, features a color television, a ping-pongtable, books and magazines and various games. The juveniles are allowed recreational periodsthroughout the day and only go into their rooms (which are kept locked at all times) for meals and as apenalty for misconduct. Control and order are maintained by restricting the recreation time forunacceptable behavior.

If they stay in their rooms toolong without any diversions they usually become agitated and irrational. Sometimes this behaviorbecomes violent, as was the case last year when a 14-year-old boy attacked a. detention aide with an iron table leg the boy had pried from a table in his room. The aide was attacked while making aroutine late-night room check. As he picked up magazines from the youths are increasing every day."Children of this era have a lot more frustrations to deal with," she says. "Classrooms are bursting at the seams, teachers can't personally deal with every child. When they are ready to go out into the realworld, they are hitting the job market at the wrong time. These problems, and many more, contributeto today's rising juvenile crimes." The media also is playing an important role in the lives of children .today, Nyeblade said. "We are hearing more about crime, especially violent crimes, from newspapersand television," she said. "Rape is getting much more publicity." She emphasized television'sinfluence is growing and more violence is being shown, via police shows and even children's cartoon programs. "We are just now seeing the effects of television on children," Nyeblade said. "Childrennever really see pain or gore on television, so they never develop sympathy for the victims of crime.We have developed a very callous society." Another serious problem Nyeblade said he sees is theentire concept of growing up for children in our country today, particularly males. "The male child inour society has it especially tough," she said. "He grows up with little interpersonal contact with amale adult.

Once out in the real world, many don't havethe social competence to deal with life's many problems. Some try to find independence in Idleness canthreaten the shaky tranquillity of juvenile centers. Various activities are offered for juvenile offenders, butthe overwhelming emptiness of incarceration can produce acts of violence. offenders, the ones whorepeatedly have been in detention, know more about the court system and the law than the averagecitizen and use it to their advantage. As Elenbaas put it, "Some of these kids regard detention as a verypopular resort spa, where they come to rest, have three good meals a day, and visit with their buddies.There is very little remorse about what they have done." floor, he looked up to see the youth, iron tableleg in hand, come flying from bed swinging the makeshift weapon at the aide's head. Fortunately, theaide was able to block the blow, and only suffered a fractured arm. All tables have since been removedfrom the rooms. Elizabeth Nyeblade, an adolescent psychology professor at Western, said acts ofviolence among His father is at work all day and they may only have actual contact with each other acouple hours a week. The child never sees his father at work dealing with stress." A lack of male schoolteachers also reduces male contact, she added. Some individuals do not develop correct social skills as a result and resort to anti-social behavior. For many, this includes getting out antisocial ways, suchas involvement with gangs or criminal activity. They may try to emulate an older male who often is acriminal. Many European and Latin Ameripan societies do not have these problems, Nyeblade said. "Inother societies, the women are not considered competent to raise the male children after a certain age,"she said. "After the child gets of age, usually around eight, he goes off to be with the adult male of thefamily." This, Nyeblade said, gives the child a chance to see how males operate in this world, and heassumes his masculinity early. "The family unit is different in these societies too," Nyeblade said."After a child assumes adulthood he is not encouraged to leave his family and live on his own, as in thiscountry. Instead, he stays and lives with his parents, even after he marries." The reason femaledelinquents have not been mentioned so far is because juvenile detention in Bellingham averagesabout five girls a month, June Allen, head matron at juvenile detention, said. Nyeblade explained thislack of criminal activity among girls is because they oftentimes are better able to deal with societythan boys. Young girls see more females The courts currently have blurred goals. They want to bothpunish and rehabilitate the children.' during the day and establish themselves earlier. Nyeblade saidaction must be taken to subside the juvenile crime wave. "They need to teach social skills in theschools to help children"deal with society," she said. "I believe the current back-to-basics trend in theschools is detrimental to the children." Nyeblade also emphasized the court system must decide how itis going to deal with the juvenile offender. "The courts currently have blurred goals. They want to bothpunish and rehabilitate the children," she said. Ideally, youths should be taught the necessary socialskills at home and in school so a confrontation with the courts would be unnecessary; she said. ---------- Western Front - 1981 May 5 - Page 4 ---------- 4 :.yyEaTÂ£RN Eaor^JT TJU ESQ AY.M.AY.S* 1981 Editorials Tuition attrition The Washington StateHouse of Representatives voted to raise college and university tuition by 70 percent last Sunday.

Those dedicated guardians of youthfulminds and public morality should be going after another widely circulated volume that describes a society rife with mass murder, fornication, sodomites, slavery, genocide and dancing in establishmentswhere liquor is served. In their zeal to protect students from literary images that might poison their minds, these outraged citizens will not want their children exposed to a text authored by a group of long-haired,sandal-wearing fanatics who never had a job. These folks must insist that not only high school, but alsouniversity students, be prevented from reading the Bible. Only this can insure these youngsters will not be tainted by the most heinous social and moral aberrations ever portrayed in literature.

A. -fine ^ -amesce Analysisâ€” â€” Time for talk nears end Throughout his recent stay inAmerica, Britain's debonair Charles lived up to his princely pomp and pulchritude by ignoring thevehement shouts of Washington demonstrators supporting the cause of prisoner Bobby Sands. Atpress time, Sands was comatose and near death after the 64th day of his hunger strike in Belfast'sMaze Prison. Sands' gallant drive to persuade Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to recognize captive Irish Republican Army members as political prisoners apparently was futile. Thatcher, well versed in the Protestant political tradition of England, has repeatedly denied Sands' appeal. And Charles, heir toGreat Britain's throne, would not dream of voicing any opinion contrary to Thatcher's. Charles hasstated little meaningful opinion on any matter. Saturday evening in Washington was no different. Intown to attend his own farewell dinner, catered by President Ronald Reagan, the Prince did not evenslightly acknowledge cries of "British Terrorism Must Go," and "Bobby Sands." Across the Atlantic,much more violent calls could be heard. In Liverpool, nearly 150 Sands supporters were mobbed by more than 500 counter-demonstrators when they tried to rally. Though the police rescued the 150 and fewwere injured, the incident is a small reminder of what is to come when Sands dies. In West Belfast andLondonderry, young militants hurled firebombs and acid at police, a recent Associated Press reportstated. As usual, police responded with plastic bullets. Again, a relatively minor incident. Spokesmen for the radical IRA already have said its members will avenge Sands' death with firebombs and bullets. The mighty Brits will retain Northern Ireland, of course. And, as always, the people will suffer. Butwhat of Sands? His body weight shrunk to less than 90 pounds, the young Irishman's statement hasbecome all too convoluted. His quest for justice for IRA prisoners was a simple one on the surface.Delving slightly deeper, however, reveals an even more important purpose. Recognition. By recognizing IRA captives as political prisoners of war, Britain would have to admit the fighting in Northern Ireland is, indeed, a war. By recognizing the fighting between Roman Catholics and Protestants as the war itis, England would have to admit to itself and the world that definite changes need to be made so theIrish people can begin to govern themselves freely. Unfortunately for Sands, his sincere and dignifiedcall for justice in Northern Ireland has fallen on ears deafened by hundreds of years of Royal rubbish.Unfortunately for all involved, Sands' death probably will mark the end of any form of peacefulnegotiations among the factions representing the Catholics and Protestants. â€”John L. Smith Flushingthe MX mess Aside from the fact the Boeing Company would get the chance to build all those neat-looking trucks, no logical reason exists to waste between $33-5100 billion on a boondoggle in theNevada and Utah desert, the MX missile. If you believe the hawk-eyed, birdbrained "experts" in thedefense establishment, the United States needs the MX to regain a balance of destructive power withthe Soviet Union. Among other things, the Reds have a better civil defense program. Because of this, the United States needs bigger missiles to fry the dirty commies in their dugouts, proponents say. These militarists carefully overlook other ways to regain the balance, such as spending a few billiondollars on civil defense in our own country. But it is easier to get money to make communist crispy 'Butit is easier to get money to make communist crispy critters than to protect our own people from anuclear attack/ critters than to protect our own people from a nuclear attack. The reason for this isapparent. A congressman can point to a missile silo and tell his constituents he is getting tough withthe Soviets. But who wants to brag about a dingy bomb shelter and a bunch of stale crackers? How can any government that has just cut food stamp and welfare programs to balance the federal budget justifyspending billions on a bunch of giant Tonka trucks, even if they are easier to drive than a car? The bestsolution to the problem of global supremacy is quite simple and not nearly as costly. Just invite theSoviets to the moon aboard the space shuttle and have a shell game tournament.

It becomes a pleasure. Oscar Wilde My purpose here is to refute Diane Haggith's letter of April 24 discussing the abortion issue, and to showand support the "other side" of the issue. . Haggith displayed most of the fallacious, sensationalargumental techniques that those of the moral majority utilize when persuasively citing the wrongs ofkilling a fetus, which "it" thinks is the pivotal point of the abortion issue. Her immediate presentation ofthe fetus as a "someone" or a "person" is incorrect. This is due to the biological dependency forsurvival the fetus has on a woman's body until it is born, after which it is considered an independently-functioning human being. In short, a fetus in the womb is not a "person" and a "person" outside thewomb is not a fetus. Haggith then states, "the abortion issue is not really a women's rights issue atall." This statement is an example of the pugnacious, conservative verbal backlash that is belittling andengaging our government into an unwanted and unnecessary battleground. After all, any issue that hintsof religious overtones is bound to get someone in trouble; this time it's women. Whether Haggith knowsit or not, she is insisting, alongside thousands of other pro-lifers, that the fertilized egg should have more rights than a woman does. This "fetal supremacy" might be the most effective weapon that malesupremacy has yet utilized to control women's reproduction and women's lives. Don't assume I'mlumping all men into this category.

Magnolia St. I realize many are sincerely concerned for the rights of women. Unfortunately,the facts show that the majority of politicians heading, supporting and pushing anti-abortion movementsand a human-life amendment to be added to the Constitution, are men. This, in my opinion, is thebiggest women's rights issue since the ERA. The conservative movement that Haggith purports justifiesthis disregard for women by a religious mystification of the fetus as a sacred, innocent, ensouled human being. Abortion is, then, equal to murder and women who have abortions are heinous sinners. Todeclare the fertilized egg a person under the Constitution, which Haggith supports by her stance in theletter, would force these religious beliefs on all Americans. Wouldn't this take away women's freedomof choice? Personally, I cannot say what I would do if I became pregnant, but I want to have the rightto choose among all possible alternatives. This viewpoint is not pro-abortion, it is pro-choice. Haggithquips that she is afraid of society if women have the right to abort. This society is breeding people withsuch narrow viewpoints that they cannot see the difference between rights and wrongs over theirwalls of consumed propaganda. This makes me terrified. â€”Sherri Sadler Fetal right Western Front:After researching the abortion issue for a Master's thesis, I am puzzled by an apparent inconsistencyin pro-choice logic: "I'm not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice." But if the unborn really is less than fullyhuman, not legally alive, and merely a mass of tissue in the body, then why should anyone faced withthe decision to abort have personal reservations? To be personally opposed to abortion, but still defend it as a right is inconsistent. Abortion is either the harmless "termination of the conceptual product" or thetaking of an innocent human life. We can't have it both ways. To write off the issue as "religiousdogma" does not help. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL, the National Association for theRepeal of Abortion Laws, and once the director of the world's largest abortion clinic, now says that hisresearch in fetology has convinced him that the fetus is human life and should be protected. Dr.Nathanson is an atheist and bases all of his arguments on scientific data and secular values.Abortion is no more a religious issue than was the Vietnam war or civil rights. In fact, many of the samepeople who spoke out against the war and marched for civil rights are today moved by a "sense ofconsistency" to oppose abortion as well. Civil rights activists Cesar Chavez, Dick Gregory, and JesseJackson are against abortion. Liberal anti-war senators Mark Hatfield, Thomas Eagleton and WilliamProxmire are likewise anti-abortion. Speaking of women in the peace movement, pacificst and pro-lifefeminist Juli Loesch remarks, "It would never occur to us to say, 'For private moral reasons I don'tpersonally condone nuclear arms, but I really can't impose my feelings on my fellow citizens who don't hold the same religious beliefs â€” and certainly each nation has the right to choose to incinerateits enemies if it wishes."' Gary Gillespie Sorry state Western Front: People who oppose abortion saythat fetuses are human beings and must be protected at all costs. However â€” a person who can'tsurvive without an organ transplant or a blood transfusion is human and has a right to live, but thatdoesn't mean I can be forced to provide the material for the transplant or transfusion. A fertilized ovum, or a fetus, were there one in my body, would be a potential human being, or rather a potential humanbody, the soul being another matter; to turn that potential body into an actual, fully developed one wouldrequire substance, energy and time that could only come out of my body and my life; and why should Ibe denied a choice as to whether I will make that sacrifice or not? Is a fetus more human than the .person in need of an organ donor? Is it more human than I am? Women who seek abortions are notmerely selfish, evil creatures who sacrifice a new life for their own convenience. Many of them havehealth problems that put their own lives at risk if they become pregnant. Why should these women bedenied the option of protecting their own lives, without interference from those who label all self-assertion in women immoral?

While I join with him in deploring the violence and bloodshed that currently rackLebanon, he and I differ radically as to whom to assign the blame. First, Mr. Claiborne does not doenough justice to the Syrian role in Lebanon. How many "peace keeping" forces do we know thatemploy 25,000 shock troops in sporadic around-the-clock offensive operations, backed by artillery and tanks, all against Christian civilian and military targets? It seems Mr. Claiborne has fallen into the rutthat characteristically afflicts excessively liberal publications, that of underplaying the Syrian and PLOroles in the Lebanon debacle and playing up the alleged intransigence and aggressiveness of those"bad-guy" Christians and Israelis. While berating Israel for its "preventative assaults" (Claiborne'sitalics) against the PLO in southern Lebanon, he conveniently forgets to ask what the PLO, long-timechampion of Soviet/communist interests, is doing there in the first place. Simply, they are coordinatingattacks against the Christians with the Syrians and the Moslem Leftists (how many peace keepingforces do you know that cooperate with one involved party to wipe out the other one?) As for Israel'sattacks against Palestinian terrorist bases and its support of the Christians, the goals are simple: keepthe PLO off balance so they can't attack Israeli civilians, protect Christian allies and prevent Syriafrom annexing Lebanon. The success of Israel's policy has been borne out in the drastic decrease inPLO terrorist attacks and terrorist-related casualties, however grim a policy that may be. Peace willcome to Lebanon only after the Syrians and Palestinian terrorists have been given the boot, at whichtime Lebanon's legitimate government can reassert itself. Only then can the Moslems and theChristians sit down together at a negotiating table. â€”Eric Leibman Services ACCU-TYPE.

Offering no apologies for his statements at the meeting, hesaid Western does not have enough demand to keep a television producer busy, adding it is easy fordepartment chairmen to support a program that they do not have to include in their budgets. He said this was the first time he had acted that abruptly. Smith, refuting Lawyer's assessment, said the programenrolls 50 to 55 students each quarter. "We turn away as many as 10 students a quarter," he said,"When Lawyer says things against the program, he isn't doing the faculty, students of program anyfavors." Lawyer's role as program overseer will terminate June 30 and the planning council must decide who, if anyone, should assume this responsibility. If the council decides to rank the program high onthe priority list, Smith will continue his current level of operation. Lack of support from the council couldkill Western's television program. "There is no way I could be here if it was only half-time. It is just too much work," Smith said. After Lawyer left the planning meeting, several council members expressedtheir views. Council member Ingeborg Pau-lus asked, "Why should the university cut such a valuableand experienced person (Smith)?" "According to the statements made by people directly affected bySmith's work, he is very reliable," she added, waving copies of written statements from severalWestern faculty and staff. "Can there be 10 wrong people and one right?" Paulus asked. If Lawyer wereright, she said, it is a serious charge against Smith. No faculty member should be absent from his jobhalf the time, she added. Lawyer had said Smith is absent from Western every Monday. But Smith said he drives to Seattle every Monday to strengthen professional television contacts with employees atthe various television stations. "Because of this, Western has received $100,000 worth of broadcast equipment as donations," Smith said. He said he buys lunch for those contacts with his own money.Smith said Lawyer is unaware of the work he performs as Western's television director-producer. Theonly student council member, Doug Scott, said he expects the council will agree to finance thesecond half of the salary. The technology, journalism and speech departments and the dean of Artsand Sciences agreed to share the first half in their budgets. Possible alternatives to this position onthe priority list for classified staff hiring include an aquatic studies secretary, a gallery director for theart department and a secretary for the accounting and economics departments.

Champion ' ' 734-8440 RegionalDistributor ENNEN'S M Jt*Pak Full Selection Of meat produce \ bakery goods frozen foodsgroceries 1030 Lakeway Centex Citywide reform urged by MITCH EVICH A change in the Bellinghamcity charter, which could give Western students more influence in municipal politics, has beenproposed by a local citizens' group. Citizens for a Better Bellingham has proposed each city councilspot, except one at-large position, be chosen only by voters who live inside each respective ward. Underthe present system, the entire city votes on all six ward positions. Supporters of the change say it would make council members more responsive to the concerns of their constituents: "In a citywide election, itis difficult to defeat a candidate just because he's unresponsive to your needs," John Neal, one ofthe Citizens for a Better Bellingham leaders, said. The group currently is circulating a petition thatwould put the proposal on November's general election ballot. Neal said about 3,500 valid signatures areneeded, a figure he is confident can be met. If placed on the ballot and passed by the voters, the change would go into effect the following year. Bob Jirka, Associated Students . vice president for externalaffairs, said such a change would force candidates for the 5th district, which runs from just south ofCollege Parkway north to Maple Street, to give more attention to the needs of Western students. Overhalf the district's residents attend Western. Those who oppose the change, including the majority of city council members, say it would give rise to special interest politics and would not be feasible in a city as small as Bellingham. "I think it might work in a large city, but I don't think it would be practical here,"Roma Jones, a councilwoman from the third ward, said. Ann Rose, the current 5th ward representative,also is against the change, although not for any personal political reasons, she said. "From my ownperspective, I'd be for it because I think I have good support among my ward members," Rose said. "Butfor the good of the whole city, I'm very much against it." Rose said she thought she had relatively goodrapport with the college community. Although college students do not contact her as regularly as herother constituents, they do reach her when issues important to them are involved, she said. Jirkafavors the proposed change, however. In addition to making the 5th ward representative moreconcerned about student needs, Jirka said the alteration also would allow for the possibility, howeverslim, of a Western student being elected to the council. "Of course, the criteria would exclude the greatportion of the student body," Jirka said. "For a person to run, he would have to be a Bellingham resident, not just a student."

RICH LITTLE star of The New "You Asked For It" ---------- Western Front - 1981 May 5 - Page 7 ---------- S A spending: Pick your poison TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1981 WESTERN FRONT 7 byJIMSEGAARAlthough time has run out to do a statistically accurate survey this year, members of the Service andActivities Fee Split Committee hope to poll students next year to find out how they want their S A fees spent. A pilot survey to test questions for later use may be done this spring, Tom Quinlan, vicepresident for student affairs, said. "I think that's a very good idea," Quinlan said of the survey.Associated Students President Greg Sobel suggested the survey to the committee as a means ofgetting more students involved in the decision-making process. Quinlan said the survey, possiblydone next winter quarter, would cover the gamut of S A expenditures. S A money is used to financestudent-related programs through Housing and Dining, the Associated Students and theDepartmentally Related Activities Committee (DRAC). Intercollegiate athletics get about $160,000from S A funds annually through DRAC. Because this year's S A report is due in June, sufficienttime does not remain to do a statistically accurate survey this spring, James Burns, planning analyst forInstitutional Research, said. Burns said a recent detailed survey concerning drug use on campustook six months to complete. He said several methods could be used to do the survey, but mailing out forms probably would be the best. Past surveys done by stopping people on campus are inaccuratebecause they ignore the 60 percent of Western students who commute to classes, Burns added. Sobelraised the possibility that results from the pilot survey, if they were strongly conclusive, could be used to help divide up this year's S A budget. But an unsta-tistical survey could not be used as a basis fordecisions, he admitted. Burns explained it would be possible to get a representative survey on shortnotice by asking descriptive questions of the respondents. If these descriptions matched the knownstudent average, the survey would be representative, he said. Burns added the mail survey would take at least a month to get responses back, allowing time for a second mailing to get enough answers. Heestimated three months would be needed to complete the survey. Quinlan said the S Acommittee has not discussed funding for the project, but predicted all departments using S Afunds would split the cost. Sobel said a similar survey should be taken at least every two years to keepup with changes in student opinion. Aside from the pilot survey, this year's committee will glean student opinion from open hearings, yet to be scheduled, and a referendum concerning intercollegiate athleticsincluded on this quarter's AS election ballot, Sobel said. * -*****- Carriage Trade * Jf ut lOur liar riantZtatt Dry Cleaners offers 10% off d r y c l e a n i ng t o all W.W.U. s t u d e n t s a n d faculty.

Spring enrollment tops record For the third quarter in a row, Western has set an enrollmentrecord with 9,591 students signing up for classes this spring. But action by this year's Legislature, incombination with other factors, means that trend probably will not continue next year, RegistrarEugene Omey said last week. "Steps currently are being taken to curtail enrollment at Western nextyear," he said. Omey said he expects about 10,000 students to register in fall, 1981, compared with10,616 last fall. Enrollment last spring quarter amounted to 9,519 students. As in the past, Canadacontinues to supply Western with the most foreign students, with 410 enrolled this quarter. But thatnumber could dwindle due to legislation passed this year discontinuing a reciprocity agreement thatallowed B.C. students to pay resident tuition rates, Omey said. He said he feels the Legislature's actionwill "have a definite effect on enrollment at Western. "I see a swing in enrollment of Canadian students at Western going from the 410 enrolled this quarter to an enrollment nearing the fall of 1977's total of 190,"Omey said. Other foreign students this spring came from Japan, with 21, followed by Iran with 10, SaudiArabia with nine, Hong Kong with seven and Libya and Greece with five each. As in the past twoyears, women outnumbered men this spring by 4,959 to 4,632. Some 8,335 students are attending fulltime this spring, while 1,256 are enrolled part time.

But Weiner didn't complete most of the books he started. Fiveyears ago he again got what he calls "the creative urge to write." That urge resulted in Weiner's firstnovel, "Spacewater Blues." The novel was published last March and soon will be available at Bel-lingham bookstores. More recently, the art professor sold the movie rights to "Blues," the only book he hasfinished. "Spacewater Blues" is about aliens who visit Earth and infiltrate a poker game. "Beings fromouter space have an amazing effect" on the poker players, Weiner said. Weiner, in his mid-fifties, saidhe wasn't surprised when a movie company offered to buy the film rights to the book. A Los Angelesfilm company, headed by Lee Lacey, is a partner of Sonica Press, publisher of Weiner's book."Spacewater Blues" will be the company's first full-length feature. The film company has won CannesFilm Festival awards for its commercials, Weiner said. One of its commercials features professionalfootball player Mean Joe Greene guzzling Coca-Cola. "They're very creative people," Weiner noted. "Iexpect a lot from them." He said, however, he does not know how the filmmakers will interpret"Spacewater Blues." Weiner said he hopes the company will not alter the story. The company may askfor Weiner's advice on the film. "They have mentioned the possibility," he said. Weiner said he wouldlike to see good special effects in the film. "1 would love it" if "Spacewater Blues" is similar to "2001: ASpace Odyssey," the art professor said. He called "2001" perhaps the best science fiction film evermade. Weiner said he would like Jack Lemmon, Woody Allen and Walter Matthau to star in"Spacewater Blues."But they probably won't," he added. "The company may use unknowns." The artteacher said he is disappointed with current science fiction films and books. "I don't read a lot,"Weiner said, because he has found few current science fiction books he likes. Modern science fictionbooks are "phony and very predictable," he said. Science fiction films have gone "downhill since 'CloseEncounters,' the last good one," Weiner said. '"Star Wars' and 'The Empire Strikes Back' are for kids ofall ages, but they're not really great science fiction," he added. Weiner predicted the advent of thespace shuttle will mean a renewed interest in science and science fiction. "There's no doubt the space shuttle will create an amazing new world," he said. "It won't be long before we're discovering life onother worlds." Science fiction "is coming true," Weiner said. In addition to writing science fiction,Weiner paints and draws abstract art.. Art and science fiction " are two different media," Weinerexplained. "One's a visual art, one's an art of ideas. They're different by nature." But both arts "comefrom creativity. All art and writing come from the same creative urge," he said.

For several years, Westernstudents have directed, produced and acted in short plays with NPT, which gives playwrights a chance to revise and refine their work in rehearsal, NPT producer Duke DeQuoy said. The five new showspremiere at 7:30 p.m. this weekend in the Performing Arts Center, Lab Theatre 199. Admission is free. "Rose Tints," by Robin Reid, a graduate student in the English Movie review department, is based on atrue story about a man building a castle of fossilized coral in Florida. Centering on a relationshipbetween the man and a 16-year-old retarded girl, Reid's play is a touching story "just basically about acoming of age," DeQuoy said. Senior theater major Mark Seward contributes "Past Remembering,"his story of two former lovers meeting on a park bench after many years of separation. In contrast, senior journalism major Terry M. Sell has written "Telephobia," a satire on the age of television, which hecharacterizes as "the most disappointing of the media." "Looting the Funeral" is graduate theatermajor Doug Unger's play about a young man returning west for his father's funeral, but mainly to collectan inheritance. The program has a surprise ending with graduate theater major DeQuoy's "Kulture."Mine is a surprise," DeQuoy said. "It's pretty off-the-wall, it's an anti-play." Auditions for NPT's secondproduction are at 4:30 p.m. May 11 and 4 p.m. May 12, both in the PAC, Lab Theatre 199. Menespecially are needed for the May 20 and 30 performances, DeQuoy said. Prepared auditions aresuggested. 'Excalibur' stabs itself by ROD WEEKS King Arthur's knights could have armoredthemselves for decades with the reel cannisters of countless films based on the tales of Camelot. TheKnights of the Round Table appeared in several early movies before the subject got stale in the early1960s. Filmmakers then experimented with different approaches to the tales, and the musical "Camelot" and parodies such as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" were added to the long list of Arthurian films. The approaches were often fresh, but the subject was overdone. So what does a serious, dramatic filmlike "Excalibur" have to offer a predominantly cynical movie audience? Not much. "Excalibur" providesall the elements its predecessors originatedâ€” graphic battle scenes of knights wielding swords;gloomy, often laughable splicing of enchantment; and a case of Barry Gibb look-alikes. The motionpicture creates a romantic medieval England probably better than any before. The sets are visuallyappealing and the cinematography in itself warrants serious consideration for seeing the film. What"Excalibur" lacks is adequate acting. The movie boasts a cast of British unknowns trade-marked onlyby their flair for shallowness and insistence on rushing, lines. Nigel Terry is far from charismatic asArthur, and Nicholas Clay's (Lancelot) and Cheri Lunghi's (Guenevere) affinity for drama could have beenduplicated by the Coneheads. Nicol Williamson's portrayal of Merlin is conspicuously reminiscent inappearance and manner of Alec Guinness'role as Ben Kenobi in "Star Wars." The wizard Merlin ties thestory together, but Williamson's humorous deliveries are awkward, and his almost constant presencein the film detracts from the character's mystique. Blame for these weaknesses cannot rest entirely onthe actors. Director John Boorman attempts in a two-and-one-half-hour film to sufficiently presentArthur's life, from removing the sword Excalibur from the stone to the king's death at the hands of hisson. Rospo Pallenberg's and Boor-man's script allows little time for dramatic touches and virtually noFROM $28 PER DAY THIS PRICE INCLUDES ALL TRANSPORTATION-ACCOMMODATIONS;SIGHTSEEING; AND TWO MEALS A DAY!

Chamber music, usually written before the 1800s, was composed to beplayed in a small hall or chamber, Terey-Smith said. Traditionally, the instruments used were harpsichord, cello, clarinet, oboe, guitar, recorder and the wooden flute. Western students will play the modernversions of these instruments. According to the Oxford Companion to Music, Collegium Musicumstarted as small concerts given at private gatherings in Germany in the 17th century. The traditioncontinued to include a series of musical concerts for small audiences. The 16-member group plays insmaller ensembles of four or fewer, Terey-Smith said. The concert begins at 8:15 tonight in thePerforming Arts Center, Concert Hall. Films project classic images The movie projector in Arntzen Hall100 Thursday will offer no audible dialogue. The images on screen will be more than sufficient,communicating in a classic cinematic language. "Battleship Potemkin"and 'The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari" flicker for film fans at 6:30 and 9 p.m. Both silent features have historic importance to the artof movies. "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," a 1919 German film directed by Robert Weiner, centers on afiendish magician with evil intentions. Created when expressionism and cubism were dominatingartistic concepts, Weiner used deliberately distorted backdrops to develop "Dr. Caligari." "The sets arejust awesome," Program Commissioner Bob Scheu said. "There are no right angles in the film;everything is either obtuse or acute." Serving as a description of the 1905 revolution in Russia, directorSergei Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin" is a 1925 effort. The film features "The Odessa Steps"sequence, a cinematic swirl of emotion involving Russian troops in the city of Odessa. Together, "Dr.Caligari" and "Battleship Potemkin" provide education and insight for movie followers.

He won the high-jump Friday with a leap of 6-6. Viks shine in the fieldbyMIKEJUDD Five wins in field events for the men and four inspired running performances by thewomen were the highlights for Western's track teams at the Viking Twilight meet at Civic Field Friday.No team scores were kept, but Bellevue Community College had nine first-place finishes, all of them inrunning events, to top the eight-team meet. In contrast, six of Western's seven wins, were in field events. Donna Davidson, the only runnirig-event winner, easily surpassed her personal best in the 400- meter hurdles with a 64.4 time, good enough to qualify for the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics forWomen -national meet later this month. Davidson, who women's coach Tony Bartlett called the team'sstar Friday, also qualified for the nationals in the 100-meter hurdles with a second-place time of 15.2,also her personal best in that event. "That was her best running since she's been here," Bartlett said,adding she does not train regularly for the 100-meter event. "She surprised herself." The meet startedwith a Western sweep of the top three places in the men's hammer throw. Rod Ritter won with a throw of 160-10, and Tom DeLeo and Blake Surina were second and third respectively. Surina also finishedsecond in the shot put, behind the Vikings' Joe Mitchell, Who threw the 16- pound shot 45-4 for the win. Surina also won an event, the javelin throw, with a toss of 184-7. Henk Kruithof won the discus with a135-5'/2 fling. The Vikings also won the men's and women's high jump events. Tony Bash was the men's winner with a jump of 6-6, and Dina von Hahn leaped 5-1 for the women. Kristy Dees finished a closesecond to von Hahn. Dawn Graham and a women's 3,200-meter relay team also ran national qualifyingtimes. Graham, running the 800-meters for the first time in her track career, was third with a strong2:18.2. And Bartlett shuffled his relay quartet^ and got a second qualifying team, although he added thatthe first team probably will run in the regionals. The men's team will take 33 performers to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 1 meet this weekend in Ellensburg.

Scorecard by Curt Simmons DearMaury: When are you going to learn: First, you say to all those gullible Mariner fans that with the addition of Richie Zisk, Jeff Burroughs and of course, yourself, the M's will play .500 ball or better in 1981. Aftertrading away your top pitcher, Rick Honeycutt, and a top reliever, Byron McLaughlin, come now. Sure,you got Zisk and Burroughs to hit home runs out of the Kingdome's shallows. But who's going to stopJackson, Singleton, Smalley, Armas, Baylor and other American League rivals from doing the same at ahigher rate. And Maury, as long as you have a lead-off hitter smacking the ball at a . 179 clip, theMariners aren't going anywhere. Sure, Cruz is a great defensive player and can steal bases with the bestof them, but he can't steal second until he gets to first. Why not bat him eighth or ninth in the order?Shake things up a bit. And please, in the future, don't try lengthening the batter's box from six to sevenfeet. Managers such as Billy Martin are just too smart to let you get away with that type of trickery. Orshould I say cheating. And you're going to have to learn not to say things that are going to makeopposing managers mad. When you said the only difference between yourself and Billy Martin was thatyou don't pick fights with marshmallow salesmen, it made Billy mad. Don't let that happen again or theMariners will find themselves losing five of six games to each team whose manager you humiliate. The A's proved that. Sure, it's nice to be optimistic, Maury, but how about some realism as well. And it's nice to have your grounds crew tailor the infield (which is hard to do on Astroturf) to your team's strengths, but do it within the rules of the game.. That way you won't have to worry about Bowie Kuhn having to suspendyou for two games and he can stick to more important things, such as disassociating Willie Mays frombaseball. And sure, it's nice to say something to get your team fired up before a big series, but notagainst another manager, especially Martin. I hope you have learned your lesson, Maury. Don't get mewrong. 1 think you can be good for the Mariners. You are a smart baseball man. But cut the foolishnessand get down to baseball, without talk or trickery. Because I want to see you stay around for a while andhelp turn the M's around. A few more blunders, however, and 1 fear the worst for you and your job. Abaseball manager risks enough just keeping quiet. One losing season and he could be looking elsewherefor work. The Mariners don't look like they're going anywhere in 1981. Maury, beware. Straighten up,because unless the M's perform miracles on the diamond, only one club in the big leagues will have the name Wills on its payroll. And you can bet the Texas Rangers will be proud to claim it. Yours truly, AFan Protect Yourselfâ€”Your Safety Is Your Responsibility The first step in self protection is being aware and alert, thereby avoiding vulnerability to some potentially dangerous situations. Experts tell us that one has only 3-5 seconds to respond positively against a threat or attack. A few precautions you can takeoutside are: 1. Walk or jog on well lighted streets. Be aware of those around and behind you. If you feelthreatened or suspicious, walk or run toward other people or lights. 2. Avoid shortcuts, especially thruparking lots, alleys, or behind buildings. 3. Walk near the curbâ€”avoiding shrubbery, dark doorways and other places of concealment. 4. Carry your keys in your hand so your house, room or car door can beopened immediately. 5. Do not stop to give directions or talk to strangers when you are alone. 6. If youare threatened by someone and are unable to prevent an attack, scream "FIRE!" 7. If a car approachesyou, and you are threatened, scream and run in a direction opposite that of the car. 8. When being driven home in another's vehicle, request that the driver wait until you are safely inside your home. In mostthreatening situations a non-lethal chemical spray device with keys in hand would help avert or lessen thedanger of real harm to your person. For other precautions you can take in your home or dorm, or in yourcar, ask at the Student Health Service or stop by the Health Fair on May 12 and 13 at the VU. Onevariety of a non-lethal chemical spray device will also be available for purchase at either location. CarolDittrich, R.N.

TUESDAY, MAY 5,1981 WESTERN FRONT 11 Netteam on streak by LANCE MORGAN Continuing its late season surge, Western's men's tennis teamwon two of three weekend matches to improve its record to 6-13-1. The Vikings, competing in theWashington State University Invitational, beat Eastern and Central Washington Universities to pushWestern's hot streak to five wins in its last six matches. The Vikings' only loss was to WSU on Friday.Dane McNeil and Dan Toohey won their singles matches 6-3, 7-6, and 6-4, 6-2, respectively, leadingWestern to a 5-4 decision over Eastern. McNeil and Toohey then teamed to win the No. 1 doublesmatch 2-6, 6-3, 7-6. â€¢ Greg Noson and Jeff Master-john were partners in a 6-3, 7-6 doubles-match winafter both had lost their singles matches. Brian Anderson won his singles match 2-6,6-1,6-4. OnSaturday, the Vikings lost only one singles match as they romped over Central 8-1. McNeil survived asecond-set slump to win his match 6-3,0-6,6-3. Toohey was a winner again 6-0, 6-3. The doubles teamsthat had helped defeat Eastern a day before again figured to win. McNeil- Toohey won 6-3, 7-5. Noson-Masterjohn had an easy time winning 6-2, 6-0. The only loss of the weekend for 'the Vikings came onFriday to WSU. Western was able to win only two sets while being shut out by the Cougars 9-0. Todayin Seattle the Vikings will take on the University of Washington. Weak play sinks golfers by JOHNBAKER In probably its most disappointing tournament of the year, Western's golf team finished third atthe Eastern Washington University Invitational Thursday and Friday. Eastern won the tournament,played at the Hangman Valley Course in Spokane, with a score of 756. Simon Fraser Universityfinished second with a 770 and the Vikings were next with 782. Failing to materialize was the rivalryestablished this year between Western and Eastern. Three times this year the Vikings and Eastern havefinished one-two in tourney play. One bright spot for the Vikings was"the play of John Golia. Golia shot a four-under-par 67 on Thursday and finished with a 146, good enough to tie for medalist honors. KeithLiedes was next for Western with a two-day total of 156. He was followed by Keith Smith and Orly Sorrelwho carded 158 and 159 respectively. Mike Turnpaw shot a 164 and Hazli Cotton carded a 167 for theVikings. "This would have to be the worst tournament we've played in three years, maybe five," said adisappointed Coach Jim Lounsberry. "We don't have much depth, so if our top players aren't playing wellwe're in tough shape." The tournament was played under perfect conditions with temperaturesreaching well into the 70s. The Vikings are next in action at the National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics District I Tournament Thursday and Friday at the Sun Tides golf course in Yakima. SPU arelief for women After being annihilated by the University of Washington 8-0 on Friday, the women'stennis team came back to defeat Seattle Pacific 7-2 on Saturday. The Viks won five of six singlesmatches Saturday, led by Kim Nelson and Michelle Pagan. Nelson won her match 6-4, 6-1, whilePagan blanked her opponent 6-0, 6-0. Kay Humphries,..Chris Ward and Sue Ritchie all won theirmatches in straight sets. In doubles play the teams of Nelson-Ward and Pagan-Humphries had easytimes with their matches, winning 6-0, 6-1 and 6-2, 6-1, respectively. ; The win over SPU came as apleasant relief after being shutout by the UW the previous day. The Vikings won three or more games ina set only twice during the contest. Both came with Karen Lehman's 3-6, 5-7 loss in singles play. Theclosest match outside of Lehman's loss was Nelson's 2-6, 2- 6 defeat as the Huskies totallyoverpowered the Vikings. 1* WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTSPLEASE POST Deadline for announcements in this space are noon Monday for the Tuesday issue ofWestern Front and noon Thursday for the Friday edition.

The regatta, annually sponsored by the University of Washington, marks the opening day ofyachting season. This year, thousands partied on the shore and in boats lining a log boom as some ofthe top crews on the West Coast raced by. The cowboy hats and beer cans on shore were contrasted by the blue-and-white dressed yachtsmen sipping Bloody Marys on their 40-footers. While the racespassed below, retired oarsmen on the drawbridge spanning the Cut bought bagels and cream cheese and reminisced about past glory. But sooner or later, all conversations turned to this year's l)W varsity crew,touted by coach Richard Erickson as his best in 14 years of coaching. The eight Husky oarsmen arebigâ€”they average 6-5 and 205 pounds. The "experts" on the bridge could not decide if the crew is thebest ever in the world or just the best collegiate crew; So far this year, the crew has defeated teams fromtop U.S. colleges, including eastern powers Harvard and Yale. A head-to-head finale with rival Universityof California gave the Huskies incentive, but the record-breaking performance Erickson had been hopingfor did not materialize Saturday. Slowed by a headwind, the Huskies defeated the Bears with a time of5:58.4, short of the course record of 5:48 set by the 1976 U.S. Olympic crew. Western's men's andwomen's crews were among the other 10 teams competing in the regatta. The Viking women finishedfourth in the junior varsity eight race. The men placed third and fifth in the club and varsity eights,respectively. The lightweight eight came in third in the junior varsity race. Its time of 6:43.11 would havebeen good for a fourth-place finish in the lightweight race, won by Oregon State University. "I think ourkids rowed really quite well," Viking Coach Fil Leanderson said. He explained the team likes just being apart of a regatta as big as Opening Day. Leanderson said he had hoped to finish ahead of WashingtonState University in the varsity eight, but also said he was pleased with the competitive race. The Vikingsfinished less than two seconds behind the Cougars. The next competition for the Vikings is nextSaturday and Sunday on Green Lake in Seattle. Intramurals gain Coors gift Western's intramuraldepartment now is $500 richer, thanks to the Adolph Coors Co. and Glacier Distributing Co. Thosetwo companies sent 16 intramural athletes from Western, including members of the "Camp David"intramural softball team, to Ellensburg last weekend to compete in the second annual Coors RegionalIntramural Sports Festival. As part of the program, Western will receive up to $200 in travelreimbursement and a $500 certificate, for use in purchasing General Sportcraft athletic equipment.Twenty northwest colleges were entered in the event. Co-ed teams competed in softball, volleyball,soccer and water-basketball.

Just when the last of theflames from this summer's Klipsun debacle appeared to be extinguished, a new debate appears to be brewing. At issue is the Bellingham Herald's handling of journalism department faculty's responses tothe Herald's Oct. 19 editorial regarding Klipsun magazine. In that editorial the Herald said Ron Bailey,head of the campus print plant, was justified in not publishing the summer issue of Klipsun, whichcontained an article with sexually suggestive illustrations. The editorial said Bailey's decisionprotected his workers' right to a workplace free of sexual harassment. Upon reading the editorial, current Klipsun adviser Tim Pilgrim, and former Klipsun adviser Carolyn Dale wrote letters to the editor onOct. 23, disagreeing with the Herald's stance. In the letters, the two contended the Herald didn'ttake into consideration the full ramifications of limiting free speech. Dale's letter was refused forpublication because it exceeded the 200 word limit, according to the Herald, which is the letter standard. She said that 200 words was not enough to correct the factual errors she found, as well as state heropinion. Dale then called the Herald and requested that she be able to write a guest editorial column soshe could explain Klipsun's point of view. She said that the Herald refused, but did offer to run acorrection, which they did. . Evan Miller, managing editor of the Herald, said that he did not refuseDale's proposal, but requested that he be able to look over what she would write. Miller said that isstandard practice for any guest editorial. Miller also said Pilgrim's letter was scheduled to run onTuesday. He said his letter was simply pushed back because letters regarding the election were giventop priority. "There was no intention to push back the letters," Miller said. "We have a pretty thick skinwhen it comes to criticism." Dale said she wanted to get the other side of the story to the public. Shesaid the Herald did not do proper research before writing the editorial. "The Herald didn't, to myknowledge, contact anyone on the Klipsun staff," Dale said. She said the Herald's claim that "the FirstAmendment does not require the school to publish everything students produce," was wrong. She saidthat the First Amendment applies to everyone. "In my discussions with (Miller and Opinions Editor EricThomas), they said that was. a matter of opinion," Dale said. Dale also took issue with the Herald for not mentioning the print plant had issued a letter of apology about the incident to the Klipsun staff andadviser. clear fountain waters Workers from the Physical Plant power-wash Fisher Fountain from lastWednesday until Friday ^^^HBIiiillilllBiBiHlSS^SHiiilHliilB Western sued for discrimination By Kevin RusThe Western Front Former biology professor Hedi Mo-scovici has filed a suit against Western inFederal District Court. . The lawsuit charges Western with wrongful, discharge, violating Moscoviei'scivil rights, breach of contract and sexual discrimination. Moscovici filed the lawsuit after she was nothired by Western after her probationary teaching appointment had ended. Some new teachers atWestern are given a probationary period of teaching before being hired permanently. Their performance is then evaluated and the department determines whether or not to hire them based on theirperformance. Jeffery Burnahm, Moscoviei's attorney, said Moscovici was a victim of what he called a"good-ole boys attitude" by the biology department. The biology department refused to comment. "She was never given a chance because she was a woman and had a different teaching style," Burnahm said. "There are still people that are treating women differently (at Western)," Moscovici said. Thosepeople are the "leaders" at Western, she said. However, Moscovici would not say who the leaders, were. Moscovici said another reason for the lawsuit was she was never given a chance at Western. Burnaham agreed with Moscovici. "Basically the biology department put a thumb right on her career and never gave her a chance," he said. Wendy Bohlke, an attorney for Western, said Moscovici had filed many internal complaints with the department and Western regarding violations of her academic freedom, sexualdiscimination and breach of contract. All of the complaints were heard, but were found to have ho basis,Bohlke said. "She also filed a complaint with the EOC, Equal Opportunity Center, and they found noevidence of discrimination, but they issued a right to sue," Bohlke said. , A right to sue means a persononly has a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit. Once the time limit expires, the person can nolonger.sue. Brunahm said the complaints Moscovici,filed were only about specific aspects and thelawsuit is "all-encompassing." "Once the jury sees it all, I think we'll find we'll win the case," he said.However Bohlke said she feels the university's case is solid. "I am confident in the university'sposition," Bohlke said. Moscovici is "very optomistic" about the case, but hopes for more than justwinning the lawsuit. "I hope for the students, that (Western's administration) will be more open andprovide a diversity the students need," she said. The trial has been set for Sept. 8,1998. ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 4 - Page 2 ---------- â‚¬ 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT I W #f, yy ^ November 4 1997 l l l l l l l l l l l l l l ^ ^ Campus PoliceOctober 31,1:12 a.m.: Police reported a possible alcohol overdose after a student was found sleeping inthe main television lounge in Higginson Hall.

For the first time,the department has a woman instructor. Originally from Chicago, the 27-year-old Herz expects to ^receive her doctorate in Astrophysics within the next few months. Commenting on her unique position in the department, Herz said, "It's OK. I'm used to being in the minority." Student vagrancy casedeliberated The State Supreme Court began deliberation on a case * involving eight Western students.The students were convicted of vagrancy on Jan. 6, 1969, and sentenced to five days in jail. The chargewas a result of the Nov. 26, 1968 arrest of the stu-t dents for distributing anti-draft pamphlets at SehomeHigh School. The students were asked to leave because they weren't at the school for "lawful purposes." Rock festival confronts problems Only 30 of 100 contracted bands showed up to play at the Sky RiverRock Festival and * Lighter Than Air Fair, which was located three miles from Washougal. The residents of Clark County were unwilling to accept the 30,000 long-haired youths groov- ) ing on drugs and rockmusic. As mid-day heat soared into the 80 degree range the first day of the fair, fans shucked off theirclothes. Many women strolled bare-breasted and some members of both sexes let it all hang out.Lawmen were more concerned with the gawkers who were clogging Hwy 140 to look at the swimmersthan they were about the nudity. Not all of the signs at the festival promoted drugs. Many promoted eco-consciousness, abortion reform and new drug legislation. "Peace is when the power of love isgreater than the love of power," one sign read. Clark County Superior Court Judge Edward R Reedissued a temporary restraining order to stop the 11-day festival and have participants leave immediately. The lonely campus barber For barbers it has been a bad year for the last two or three years. "When Icame here in '59, short hair was the big thing," said Campus Barbershop Manager Bob Unruh. "Nowsometimes a guy will go for months between haircuts," he said. The number of barbershops going out of business is quite ' high, according to Unruh. The hardest hit are campus barbershops, which charge a standard $2.75 a clip. He predicted the style will change back to the shorter cut... in time. Bombing in Bellingham? Bombers don't come in varieties of madness these days, they come in stages ofrevolution. The last week has produced a rash of bombings and bomb-threats across the country, which is perhaps unparalleled in recent history. When asked for personal opinions, Western studentsprovided some interesting and insightful answers about bombing issues. "We're told that in order tochange the opinion of a government, you bomb them. That's what the Pentagon is doing in NorthVietnam," said Associated Students Legislator Bert Halprin. "These people are trying to change ourgovernment by bombing the country like the Air Force in Vietnam," he said. Is a bomb threat inBellingham likely? "People are too laid back in Bellingham for a bombing to occur," said AS PresidentGreg Baker. Students told to (Stay in the streetsy "Stay in the streets. That's where the change willoccur," U.S. Senate candidate William Massey told Western students Friday. Massey, abortion rightsadvocate and a candidate on the Socialist Workers Party platform, outlined his agenda to students:1. Immediate troop withdrawal from Indochina and the rest of the world. 2. Minorities will take control oftheir communities. 3. Support women's liberation. 4. Protection for all workers. 5. Change the taxstructure. "Abolish all income taxes on incomes under $10,000 while taxing all incomes over $25,000100 percent," he said. 6. End pollution. Computers to serve as teachers Western plans to invest half ofits proposed $100,000 research budget in programming computers to be instructors. The money would go into a computer-aided instruction program enabling students to proceed at their own pace, saidHerbert Taylor, dean of research. Front/Nov. 7, 1970 The $538,359 construction work being done aroundCarver Gymnasium is on schedule and everything should be completed as planned, ConstructionCoordinator Ralph Wobert said. What's the big fuss all about? So what's all the big fuss about women'sliberation? What does it mean to you as a college woman? There are only 189 female graduate students as compared to 486 men. At Western, the only department heads occupied by women are thoseyou'd expect â€” home economics and women's physical education. On the whole, women in thissociety function primarily as a labor reserve pool, consumers, sex objects and maids. Women's historyhas been hidden. The college should offer courses in female studies. Health services in collegeshould be extended to meet women's needs. And information about contraceptives as well as thedispension of contraceptives should be given. We need female teach-ins and seminars, which woulddiscuss sexism and point out alternatives for women. That's what the fuss is all about â€” the liberationof women and ultimately all people. Vietnam workshop open to the public Student mobilizationmembers are attempting to bring together all parts of the community in a Vietnam workshop today from1 to 4 p.m. in the Viking Union Main Lounge. Speakers from the faculty, a labor union, the FairhavenDraft Resistance Group, women's liberation and other groups will fill the agenda. The workshop is part of an effort by the SMC to put pressure on the government to withdraw U.S. troops from Vietnam."We're sick and tired of this damn war and we want our troops out now," said SMC coordinator JimForesman. "We want to make the people aware of what is going on: the killing and destroying of theVietnamese land," he added. Compiled by Laura Campbell Fountain from page 1 "After we got the trashpump, we had to run about 120 feet of hose to the nearest sanitary sewer man-hole so we could drainthe water," Wright said. "The process of draining the fountain took about three hours for our crew." LarryBateman, of Bellingham's Sewer Sanitation department, said they heard about the dye last Thursday and by Friday they knew it was headed their way. "We had some calls, so we knew (the dye) was on theway," Bateman said. "It would take a substantial amount for us to really notice the dye by the time itgets to us. We had some really high flows on Friday, but I didn't notice any change in the color,especially by the time it reached the bay," he said. "I don't think the dye is really that harmful,although it is nasty if you get it on your hands," Bateman said. "The thing that people need to realize is that the contents of the fountain did have to go through the sewer system, rather than throughthe storm drain." "So it does end up in the Bellingham Bay, which is potentially a hazardous situation,no matter what the substance is," he said. "We try to be extra cautious with everything that does gettreated by us, and eventually ends up in the bay. We don't want to use the bay as some kind of trashreceptacle," Bateman said. "It's not just the entertainment value that people should be thinkingabout when a situation like this has potential to affect our environment and a variety of people inthe Bellingham public," Ebnet said. "Even though the substance wasn't harmful, how can the people who did this don'Mv ant to use the as mme kind of trash Bellingham seweiMepartnfnt be sure that whatthey're doing is safe?" Ebnet said. "What starts out as a prank, sometimes ends up having more serious effects," oceanography professor Bill Summers said. "Although the substance was interesting to lookat, the green color looks like antifreeze and it's definitely a 'warning' color," Summers said. "Whathappens to the people who might have stuck their hand in it before they knew what it was?"he said.Fisher Fountain usually gets drained around this time of year for the winter season, but the abruptdraining of the green dye made the fountain empty for Western's Parents Weekend. ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 4 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢THE WESTERN FRONT W l f â€¢ November 4. 1997 Washington Student Lobby sets focusFront/Ryan Hooser Vice President for Legislative and Community Affairs Jesse Salomon, formerAssociated Students Legislative Liaison Tres Gallant and Washington Student Lobby chapter Vice ChairIan Stewart discussed the agenda for this year. By Amber Rose The Western Front Studentmembership on the Board of Trustees and expansion of child-care programs were among many issuesvoted on for the 1998 Legislative Agenda by Western's chapter of the Washington Student Lobby lastnight. More than ten issues, were added to this year's agenda including support for a voting student to be added to the Board of Trustees. Christian students fast for personal revival By Jenni Long TheWestern Front All Christians at Western are encouraged by Christian university ministries to participatein a fast Nov. 10 through 23. The fast is to bring personal as well as community revival, Mike McGill,student fast organizer said. Christian groups on campus involved are the Campus ChristianFellowship, El Fuego, Athletes in Action, the Way Christian Fellowship and the INN. "I really just want to cry out to God, and let him know we are serious. I want people to come back to a right relationship withChrist, to say I want to be right with you and I want others to know you as well," McGill said. "As wecome closer to our relationship with God, there is something exciting that comes from that intimacy: atype of revival," he said. There will be a que.stion-and-answer seminar at 7 p.m., Nov. 4, at the FirstPresbyterian Church, 1031 N. Garden, to inform people about fasting. "I have contacted other ministriesso that they would train people ahead of time about how to fast, why to fast and what the differentreasons were in the scripture for fasting," McGill said. "People need to be prepared for both spiritualreasons as well as for the physical dangers." There will be a meeting called the gathering at 9 p.m., Nov.20 in Carver Gym. The gathering brings together different groups of believers. "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, theywill hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land," according to a scripture insecond Chronicles, the focus of the meeting. "Fasting is an outward expression of prayer, showingyour seriousness to God by saying this is something I am willing to sacrifice," McGill said. "Fasting isnot only spiritual but is practical because it teaches you discipline. It is a mental, physical and spiritualprocess," he said. McGill suggests students start safely with smaller amounts and types of fasting.Some people may want to start the two weeks by cutting out certain things from their diets, then thesecond week just eat mostly fruits, vegetables and grains. Then on Nov. 20, in conjunction with thegathering, fast for the day then slowly move out of the fasting, McGill said. Fasting could turn into acompetition of pride. "Because something good has the potential of some people doing something wrongdoesn't mean that we shouldn't encourage all people to do it right," McGill said. . "I want to warn peopleto not let this become something of pride and competition, but that it would be something unifying andencouraging to all people wherever they are in their faith or in their fasting ability," McGill said. Peopleneed to be careful of body image problems so they are not doing something dangerous. Fasting should not be used as an excuse to hurt themselves, McGill said. "t encourage people to pray and see if this is something they should do," he said. "I am going to use this time to seek the face of God â€” to seek toknow him and know the love he has for me and be able to return the love to him and to others," McGillsaid. The fast is two weeks long to create a greater amount of participation by considering people's daily schedules and allowing time for fasting education. Education tells students about the dangers and thereasons for fasting. "It is encouraged that people use both the time and resources saved to seek the face of Christ," McGill said. "Spend time with God that would have been used sleeping. Donate food to thehungry.or money to the needy," he said. "If you look throughout history in every major religion, fasting issomething they all practiced," McGill said. "Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Muslimsâ€” all of thesegroups have reasons for fasting." "I really want to encourage all believers to participate in this fast inone way or another," McGill said. "It should truly be something that unifies us, joins us and is a loud cryout to God." "Every major decision" that affects students is made or implemented by the Board ofTrustees," former AS students Legislative Liaison and chapter member Tres Gallant said. "We need avote to be able to effectively represent the students, he said. "Just being there isn't good enough; justhaving a voice isn't good enough. We need to have a vote." Support for voting student, membership ongovernance boards appeared on last year's agenda and will be pushed hard again this year. "If thispasses, we would obtain a much stronger access to the board," Gallant said. Another issue that willremain on the agenda from last year is support for the expansion of current university child-careprograms and state support for these services. Last summer, because of a lack of funding, the ChildDevelopment Center at Fairhaven College was shut down. The WSL wants to ensure that this will nothappen again. The Associated Students currently owns the child-care center. WSL said studentneeds far outweigh availability. "Right now it's packed to the limit," Chapter Chair Leslie Keller said."We need more money to make the program work." "Many students are on the waiting list for yearsand cannot enter college because of the lack of child care," Keller said. The last issue remaining on the agenda from last year is support for measures that will ensure a diverse staff, faculty and student body. "The more diverse the faculty, the better education I will get," Chapter Vice Chair Ian Stewart said. Thechapter will continue to lobby for legislation that will create a more diverse population at Western. "Itis not about no quotas, it is about not looking at race at all," Gallant said. A new issue on the agenda is supporting textbooks bought at the student bookstore becoming tax-exempt. Right now, the AS offers a 10% discount on all textbooks. The WSL will push for the books to become tax-exempt and keep thediscount, potentially saving students a significant amount of money. "Think of it as free financial aid,"Gallant said. The idea was offered to the legislature last year by another chapter and Western'schapter adopted it and drafted it onto this year's agenda. Faculty tenure standards is another new issue the chapter will lobby for. Evaluations by students of faculty are now optional â€” departmentchairs and the college deans are not required to see them. The WSL wants standards to be set for those professors applying for tenure. "We need to review the process for achieving faculty tenure," Kellersaid. The WSL wants to get more students involved in these issues and will be implementing a phonesurvey of those students who donated when they registered. Students have the option of donating $2 tothe WSL when they register for their classes. The money goes toward student lobbying efforts. TheWSL will also be hosting a lobbying workshop at 6 p.m., Nov. 17 irr the Viking Union to teach studentsthe basics of lobbying. This is to prepare for meetings with the legislature. you vÂ»Â«aÂ£jiK BEST ' BODY PIEI^S^^VTTOOING R^LMili%aI)lo CD 00 en * 4 yrs in %H|i%|im'j|f 0 0 ' Large SeligSb^;|f:lt;0lt;0J0jeiry Â£J} * Thousandsfe|||ti||ftftoo Designs ^ 251S mERIDI/Â»r WED- SAT 12- 6 mmmmmOn-Campus Interviewing: Â«gmiÂ«sr FINANCIAL NORWEST FINANCIAL Thursday, November 13, 1997 Seeking Credit Manager/Manager Trainees Majors: Bus, Fin, Mktg, Econ, Commun.

Initiative 200 would ban discrimination based on gender or race in college admittance and in theworkplace. Todd Donovan, a featured speaker at the discussion and political science professor atWestern, said 1-200 would make affirmative action practices illegal. Donovan used California as anexample of what 1-200 would do if it became a law. "Two hundred is modeled after Initiative 209 inCalifornia," Donovan said. Initiative 209 passed last November in California making affirmative actionpractices illegal there. Donovan said traditional affirmative action practices would be illegal if 1-200passes, but there are ways to get around the law. "An application could be worded to lifecircumstances or organizations you were involved in so it is not specifically discriminating," he said. "You could be the president of the Latino club at your high school and (a college) could say you were a leader and use that instead of your Latino background as an admittance qualification," said BreeanBeggs, the other featured speaker and Bellingham attorney. Beggs also used the University ofWashington Law School as an example to get around 1-200. "The University of Washington does notuse affirmative action, it uses diversity," he said. Diversity means that the UW does not just give specialconsideration to racial minority students; it gives consideration to a diverse group, such as gay orlesbian students, he said. Beggs pointed to the School of Law, University of California at Berkley, asan example of the ramifications of 1-209. "Only one African-American student was admitted to Berkleylaw school this fall," he said. Donovan also said because of the low admittance of minority students,Berkeley law school was going to change its admittance practices to encourage racial equality andnow the alumni are suing the school because the change gave minority students special treatment.Donovan could not say what the effects of 1-209 have been in California. "Because (1-209) is so new, itis really hard to tell what effects it has had," he said. Beggs said the American Civil Liberties Union andmany other groups tried to bring cases regarding 1-209 to the Supreme Court, but the court denied allrequests. Beggs also said that while the court would not hear cases from California, it might hear cases from Washington on 1-200 even though they are mirror initiatives. However, Donovan did not feel thecourt would change its position. "The same justices will hear the case, so I doubt they will changetheir stance," Donovan said. When sophomore Rahiel Fesaha asked how to prevent votes for 1-200,Donovan and Beggs both agreed that educating the public was best. Use an "educational effort â€”people don't understand (affirmative action) or feel they are not affected by it so they will vote for theinitiative," Beggs said. "Tell people where (supporters for 1-200) are getting their money and theirsupport," Donovan said.

By drawing attention to the supporters of 1-200, thepublic might see a group of people it does not agree with and vote against 1-200, he said. Fesaha wasnot sure whether I- 200 would get enough votes to pass. "I don't think it will pass, but then again it couldpass. I mean, who would expect it to pass in California?" she said. However, Donovan said he expectsit to pass. "I think it has a really good chance of passing if it makes it to the ballot," he said. 1-200 doesnot have enough signatures at this point to make it on the ballot, but supporters are paying people togather signatures and Donovan said because of this new support he expects I- 200 to make it on theballot. Fesaha said she attended the discussion to gather more information on 1-200. "More peopleshould have come; it's important," she said. WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDS SELL! 650-3160 J AConference explores computer classes; on-line courses examined By Heather Romano The WesternFront A conference designed for people with responsibilities concerning institutional access to on-line systems is scheduled for Nov. 5 at Washington State University in Pullman. The proposed Western Governors' University will provide classes to its students exclusively by electronic means. Programsand/or courses offered through WGU will transfer to traditional schools. Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, a WGUCo-Chair, will be the keynote speaker at "Lifelong Learning: Meeting New Needs in New Ways," hostedby WSU and the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities. "This will notbe competition (for other universities); it will offer a larger array of courses," said Ken Symes, ViceProvost for Undergraduate and Extended Programs. Symes will travel from Western to attend themeeting. "It is in such an early stage of development that we are all watching to see how it turns out,"he said. "I think eventually we will offer students in the state of Washington some wider options forcourses; ones that could be taken by electrical means." "WGU will not have a teaching faculty: affiliatedinstitutions will provide instruction," according to the WGU website. Any academic content will beprovided by traditional campuses, non-traditional institutions and/or commercial entities. Theinformation providers must meet WGU standards. The central part of WGU will be small, providingbasic services such as registration, advising and financial aid. "I think we all have to be aware of thistype of teaching," said Todd Morton, associate professor in the engineering technology department. "Ithink we are going to see more of it in the future." Students gave mixed reactions to the idea of electrical teaching. No student said it was a good or bad idea, most just raised their eyebrows and lookedinterested. "Beginning in early 1998, the WGU will offer competency-based degrees and certificates,utilize the Internet to broker courses for participating education providers and harness advancedinformation technologies to reach students at home and across the world," stated an August WGUnewsletter posted on the Internet. WGU's newsletter said this is not intended to be a replacement of the traditional campus. The goals are to expand access through technology with a wide range of electronicmeans (not just the Internet), to recognize, skills and knowledge by focusing on the competencies ofstudents and to minimize the cost of replication. "It cannot replace a campus and in-class interactionwith faculty, but I think (WGU) is possible," Morton said. WSU already uses interactiveclassrooms, Internet on-line courses and video-tape based education, which serves 4,000 studentsannually. WSU also offers credit classes delivered by satellite. "Our team leader for the state is WSU,"Symes said. "As we enter the 21st century, higher education is uniquely challenged â€” to remainrelevant; to deliver programming when, where and how its constituents require it; and to provide accessto a public that is both increasingly diverse and geographically dispersed," wrote WSU PresidentSamuel Smith in a letter posted on the Internet. "Institutions which will remain competitive are those with the agility to adopt pedagogically and operationally to new technologies," Smith stated. Participatingstates have four main commitments: a one-time contribution of $100,000, support the development of atleast one local center, help overcome state and federal barriers and help secure funding from a variety of sources. An August newsletter claimed more than $2 million was raised this year. At that time, theWGU Board of Trustees approved a $12.4 million budget. The newsletter also indicated IBM woulddesign a pilot and initial version of the on-line Catalog/Adviser. Students will use the catalog to explore educational options, assess their academic skills and enroll in classes. ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 4 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT November 4. 1997 And the building continues... Communications buildingto be added By Becky Sakala The Western Front A new building for the College of Arts and Sciences is in the first of its three planning stages and is expected to be completed by the fall of 2003. The newbuilding will be home to five different departments including communications, computer science,physics, journalism and speech pathology and audiol-ogy. Six years may seem far away to currentstudents who will probably never get to use the new building, but the planning and building stages aredone in three different phases and each lasts two years. Phase one, which is now being worked on, isthe pre-design stage, which maps out how much space is needed for the new building and whether itfits within the school's budget expectations. This is taken to the next legislative session where itsmembers will decide whether to fund the building. According to the Dean of the College of Arts andSciences, Peter Elich, the funding has already been approved. After the initial plans for the building areapproved, phase two begins. This is when architectural plans for the building are drawn. According to the schedule, this phase will be completed in the fall of 2001. Phase three is the construction phase. Thebuilding will be completed and occupied by 2003. "It would provide an opportunity for a substantialequipment boost for departments who need it very much, like physics, computer science and speechpathology and audiology," Elich said. 'These are all quite equipment-intensive units which heed more(space)," he said. The new communications building will also have updated computer labs for thecommunications, computer science and journalism departments. The number of new computer labsand computers is unknown. "Everybody would benefit," Elich said. A careful analysis of the university and its space needs showed a new communications building would help free up space in Bond Hall,where the computer science and physics departments are located. "This building will be designedto relieve some pressure and keep up with growth," Elich said. Another major reason for a newcommunications building is because all of the sciences are on the south end of the campus, while all ofthe humanities are on the north end of the campus so they are closer to the library. The new buildingswould also provide more access for students and will help the university to keep up with anticipatedgrowth. The building will also provide substantial classroom space. The exact site has not beendetermined, but will be somewhere south of the environmental science building. Western's limited class size and rising e n r o l l m e n t coupled with aging technology have p r o m p t e d Westernto expand. However, class size and the number of majors admitted into the departments are notexpected to increase when the building is done.

'There's good reason to try to expand Western; it's inan area where there's heavy demand," Teacher wins national education award Front/Ryan Hooser BruceLarson, assistant professor at Woodring College of Education, who recently won a social studieseducation award. By Jennifer Hart The Western Front Bruce Larson, an assistant professor inWestern's Woodring College of Education, recently won the 1997 social studies education award fromthe National Council for the Social Studies. Larson will receive the honor at the NCSS Faculty Assembly general meeting in Cincinnati on Nov. 20. "The dissertation took a year and a half to complete,"Larson said. "And its goal is to get teachers thinking about classroom discussion." Larson'sdissertation, entitled 'Teachers â€” 92 Conceptions of Discussion: A Grounded Theory Study" examineshow high school teachers plan for and use classroom discussion. It describes six types of discussionalong with factors that influence how teachers use them. "Teachers like to talk about the benefits ofclassroom discussion but then, when you observe their classes,, you see them doing all of the talking,"Larson said. Larson gave an example of a teacher who claimed to encourage classroom discussion."But when I went to his class, he did 89 percent of the talking, while student discussion made up only11 percent," Larson said. Larson feels that more classroom discussion will help prepare students forthe real world of conversation and communication. "I want teachers to see the classroom as a lab topractice communication, not just a place for teachers to do all the talking," he said. Larson received hismaster's and docorate in curriculum instruction as well as social studies education from the University of Washington. In order to receive this annual award, dissertations must make a significant contribution to research in social education. Additionally, dissertations must be outstanding in the areas ofproblem statement, analysis of related literature, methods, procedures, analysis of data anddiscussion of results. Founded in 1921, NCSS engages and supports educators in strengthening andadvocating social studies. It is the largest association in the country devoted solely to social studieseducation with more than 20,000 individual and institutional members in all 50 states. â€¢ Wumeft. ojjthe I QoldKetf, Awand RAMADA | Proudly Presents Our Special | Student Rate I $5500 I Subject toAvailability â€¢ For Western Students and their â€¢ Families â€¢ For Reservations Please Call I 360-734-8830 | 215 Samish Way lAsk for P-3 Code expires l / l / 9 8 j ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 4 - Page 7 ---------- November 4. 1997 mmm - THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 X No juice? No problem! Wind-up radio bringseducation to remote, underdeveloped areas /â€¢% x y /*s. / X. X -^ By Arvid Hokanson The WesternFront Since its invention, radio has been a medium for entertainment and information capable oftransmitting far and wide to the masses. From the days of families sitting around the radio to listen toOrsen Wells' "War of the Worlds," to Franklin Roosevelt's fire-side chats, radio has helped communicateour culture and history. In 1993, Trevor Baylis, a British inventor, became concerned after hearingtelevision reports about health problems in Africa due in part to a lack of communication with thepeople. Baylis knew radio would be the ideal way to communicate with people, but knew that the costof a radio and batteries was more than the majority of families could afford. Baylis set out to fix theproblem and invented a wind-up radio. The BayGen radio will run for 30 minutes after 30 seconds ofwinding-up. According to Innovative Technologies, a British Columbia-based company, BayGen radioswere developed with funding from the British Overseas Development Administration. The radio is powered by an internal-spring generator. Radio users wind up the spring and as the spring unwinds, power istransferred through a three-stage gearbox to a small electric motor that produces enough electricity topower a standard three band (short wave, medium wave, Frequency Modulated) radio circuit, according toIBMS Networks. "Radios are often the only way these people, many of whom are illiterate, are able tokeep abreast of current events," Alex Makarow of Innovative Technologies said. "Preventative health care, refugee assistance programs, aid relief, distance learning and tracing of missing persons are only a fewof the areas in which radio programming can assist." "The radio ... has the backing of South Africa'sPresident Nelson Mandela and is endorsed by 20 aid and relief agencies," Charles Lukley of WindupTechnologies said. With the invention complete, the next challenge facing Baylis and his radio wasproduction. "The BayGen FREEPLAY/FREEPOWER is manufactured in a modern plant outside CapeTown, South Africa. Thirty-five to 40 percent of assembly workers are people with special needs,"Makarow said. BayGen officials describe it is a "company that embodies the charitable principles anddevelopmental ethic of the many individuals, organizations, companies and charities which have helpedturn the dream of personal power generation into a commercial reality." The radio has caught on, withdemands of production licenses coming from all over the world. The radio can now receive AM, FM, shortand mid-wave signals. According the BayGen website, The BayGen PowerGroup includes a number ofcompanies world-wide that are Hcensed ,o ^ " " ^ o f l r ^ S f, manufacture, market, distribute and sellproducts powered by the Baylis Generator. After its initial use, mainly in Africa, it became apparent theradio would have additional uses in other parts of the world. Makarow said that at last count, the radioswere being manufactured and sold at the rate of 20,000 per month on the world market. The radio hasfound popularity in the United States and Canada. It has been marketed in part to campers, boaters andpeople living in remote areas who want to stay in touch with the world. It has also-been marketed foremergency purposes. "The winter of 1996 was one of the worst in United States history," Lukely said." Millions of people turned to their battery powered radios after the lights went out â€” many to discoverthe batteries had gone dead," he said. The radio has been so popular, the original Freeplay One now has the accompanying Freeplay Two, Innovative Technologies is one the companies offering The secondgeneration model, which features AM and FM reception, a headphone jack and an AC adapter forexternal power. The addition of external power was for users who desire a longer-play radio, in addition to providing the windup technology. According to Bay gen, they are now in the process of developing awind-up walkman and a flashlight. Tired of goldfish? Can't afford a mutt? Many students can't afford oraren't allowed to have pets. But Front reporter Laura Campbell explored the options for students with adifferent problem â€” boredom with "normal" animals. By Laura Campbell The Western Front One of thehardest parts about moving away from home can be leaving a beloved dog or cat behind.

Kania Smith, an employee at Sunset Pets, suggests buying an anole. . * Upkeep of thebrown and green lizards involves shaking out the carpets in their 10-gallon aquarium once a week andmaking sure they have water and two-to-three crickets daily, Smith said. They cost about $7 each andcome in two varieties: Bahama and Green, Smith said. "Usually with any pet the initial set-up can becostly," Smith said. "But the upkeep is generally inexpensive." Hermit crabs can also make great pets. They require a small aquarium, a few shells to "grow" into, a seashell full of water or a wet sponge andcrab food, which costs about $3 a jar. Hermit crabs do not make good pets for poor students strugglingto keep electricity expenses down. The crabs require a room temperature of about 80 degrees. ForPetsmart employee, Western biology student Olivia Munzer, the White's Dumpy frog tops her list offavorite unusual, low-maintenance pets. "They stick to you," she said of the little camouflage-green treefrog. "I love them â€” you can put them on your shoulder and they will stay there." The Dumpy frog islow-maintenance and relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of owning a cat or dog, shesaid. Start-up costs for Dumpy frogs are about $50, Munzer said. The frogs can survive in a 10- gallonaquarium equipped with plants, water, gravel and a heat lamp to maintain their body temperature,Munzer said. But you can't forget to feed them every other day. A frog, depending on its size, will eatabout three crickets every two days, Smith said. Students with a lot of floor space might want toconsider a box turtle â€” an Asian three-toed box turtle. At about six inches long, four inches wide andthree inches tall, they are a little bit more managegable than a tortoise, said Western art studentErica Sebald, who has two Asian box turtles of her own. "They require a lot of equipment," she said."But once you get it they are pretty easy to take care of." In addition to being more man-agable in size,box turtles are less expensive than tortoises â€” about $25 each, Sebald said. Turtles need lots of roomto roam â€” something most apartments don't offer. ,â€¢'.â€¢- "Most apartment managers will let youkeep them as long as they are in some sort of aquarium," Sebald said. As for fish, the Betta is prettyand more exciting than a goldfish. At $5, the Betta is the least expensive of the pets she mentioned.This included all the equipment needed. She recommends buying books or researching your potentialpet and strongly discourages spontaneously buying a pet. "An animal is indispensable. No matterwhat you get, its going to take a certain amount of time and care," Smith said. fc ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 4 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT 'dASmSdJmmmmm November 4, 1997 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmIfie honors program ivtnt to ^Shannon SVmer and all we got was tfds busy article By Wendy Giroux TheWestern Front Western recently sent three academic olympians to Atlanta. Professor George Marizaccompanied students Karl Nelson, Shannon Simer and Mark Oakes to Atlanta for the annual NationalCollegiate Honors Council meeting Oct. 22-26. The conference's goal was the exchange of teachingmethods, seminar topics and ideologies of honor programs. More than 1,400 people attended themeeting, representing approximately 200 schools and institutions. Student and faculty attendeespresented papers and information on a wide variety of topics. Mariz, director of the honors programsince 1987, has been with Western's history department since 1970. The papers Nelson, Simer andOakes presented in Atlanta were written for seminar classes they had each taken. The faculty memberschose three out of 20 papers submitted. They looked for a high level of sophistication, an interestinganalysis of the subject and potential value to the conference's audience of students, faculty andadministrators. - "In all of the presentations I listened to, I probably heard only 15 other student papers that were in the same league as the Western students' (papers)," Mariz said. Senior Karl Nelson is ahistory major who has been involved in the honors program since his freshman year. He is currently ateacher's aide in the history department. Nelson wrote the paper he presented at the conference for aseminar class entitled, "The 1960s: the Museum of the Mind," taught by Professor Tom Moore. Thepaper is about conscientious objection to the Vietnam War, which Nelson described as "men who usedlegal avenues set forth by the draft to remain non-combat-' ive during the war." Nelson said the mostvaluable experience he had during the conference was the moment just after his speech when one of theaudience members approached him and expressed her interest in his topic. In her fourth year atWestern, Shannon Simer is working on a double major in special and elementary education. "I was really hesitant about entering the honors program when I was a freshman," she said. Smiling, Simer continued, "It's been one of my most positive experiences at Western. I've really enjoyed taking more discussion-based classes to fill my GURs, because they're on more obscure topics." Simer's paper was written for a seminar called "Ethnic Minorities in Siberia." She analyzed the treatment and education of minorities bythe Russian government and how it compared with the treatment of Native Americans by the U.S.government. - "A teacher of Native American Studies from California spoke to me about my paper," Simer said. "She said that my topic was a good comparison of cultures and that she may use some of theideas in her classroom," Simer added. The presentation Simer enjoyed the most was one given byseveral students on the effects of mental retardation on families. She said the talk had many links withmaterial she is studying for her majors. Mark Oakes i s planning to graduate at the end of this year witha double major in psychology and English. He transferred into the program as a sophomore, after takinga liberal studies sequence taught in part by Professor Mariz. "The main reason I like the honors programis that it's taught in an inter-disciplinary style," Oakes said. An example of this is the seminar he wrotehis paper for, entitled "Epistemology and the Modern Novel." Oakes wrote on the major identity problemsthat arise prior to a revolution. "A culture is basically erasing their own history and reinventing anidentity, during that time," Oakes said. He spoke specifically about the period preceding the RussianBolshevik Revolution of 1917 and Andrei Bely's book "Petersburg." "The book is an early 20th centurysymbolist work," Oakes said. "Bely wrote psychological fiction in a poetic style that just intoxicates thereader." "It was really a challenge to synthesize all the ideas that he introduces and demonstrate howthey represent those of most pre-revolution societies," he said. Getting ideas from other people was avaluable part of the conference experience, Oakes said. "Going every year isn't necessary, but it was anincredible opportunity to express our ideas in a public forum," he added. The honors program atWestern was established in 1962, about five years after this type of program began nationwide. Withan average enrollment of 150 students per year, Western's program is a relatively small one. "We take inabout 50 freshmen each year and about 20 people graduate through the program," Mariz said. Whenspeaking of Western's honors program as a whole, Mariz said,"(It is) quite honestly at the front of thefield." During the 1993 academic year, Money magazine named it as one of the top 25 honors programsin the nation. "The program is intended for students who have demonstrated a record of academicachievement," Mariz said. Students usually apply for the program as freshmen; a small minority areactually recruited from high schools. He said that most of the students major in one of the physicalsciences. Honors program faculty come from all departments at Western, offering courses with specificareas of study. Students enrolled in the program take in-depth seminars and smaller classes that fulfillrequirements. They also work on senior projects with the guidance of a professor. "There are tangiblebenefits for students involved in the honors program," Mariz said. "Not only does it improve their resumes, it's also excellent preparation for graduate school." The results of senior projects are often published,with students listed as either the primary author or co-author. David Wallis, an English major and musicminor, has been performing professionally since he was 14. For his senior project, Wallis released analbum of 15 songs. He wrote the music and lyrics, performed and recorded the songs and also did themixing and technical work. Mariz said the senior project is product-oriented, ideally resulting in a workwhich is representative of the student's intellectual or creative abilities. While in Atlanta, the fourWesternites saw the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial. Oakes said this was the non-academic highlight ofthe trip for him, prompting the most reflection. The three students also said they were dragged allthroughout downtown Atlanta by Professor Mariz, in search of the Westin Hotel. Apparently Mariz saw the spires of the hotel reaching over the tops of the other buildings and had to find out what it was. "Theseare well-rounded students," Mariz said. "They aren't 'grinds' who work all the time; they have diverseinterests. They're serious about their work, but they're not at all stuffy."

Tomlinson The Western Front Under normal circumstances the thought of takinga new aerobics class would not qualify as an intimidating experience. Today was a differenLstory. I hadheard the tales and I had seen its victims. As I walked through the sea of free weights, treadmills andStair . Masters, my destiny became clear. I was standing face to face with my nemesis, it was abattle of human vs. machine, a battle I would soon crave daily. I had entered the world of powerpacing. Keiser Power Pacing, also referred to as spinning, is the latest aerobic innovation to hit thegyms since the Reebok Step. The 45-minute class, exclusive to The Bellingham Athletic Club, providesa great alternative to the mundane world of the stationary bike. The entire class is executed on theKeiser Bikes. Participants sit, stand and even stretch on the machines. The various body positions allowthe individual to target every major muscle group in the legs and arms. The only essentials to powerpacing are a strong competitive drive and plenty of water. I had put off taking the class for months, as I listened to peers speak of sore â€¢ muscles the day after. However, the stories they told were not ofwoe, but of a competitive drive forcing them to continue. When the class began, we started pedalingat a slow pace in a normal upright position and zero tension on the wheel. My initial thoughts were,"Is this all this class is going to be? What is all the hype about?" My questions were answered when my instructor Lisa Perry said, "OK, now that you're comfortable, we're going to do a few intervals." Theinitial interval .section lasted more than 10 minutes, alternating sitting and standing while adjusting thetension from zero to 60 on the bikes. After a hard-pumping 45-second interval at 50 percent tensionâ€” the equivalent of pedaling up a 45 degree incline -â€” I knew what the hype was about. When youhear phrases such as, "Let's get aggressive," and "Hammer!" the motives of this class become clearwith every stroke of the pedals. Front/Barney Benedictson John Colver leads a group of club members in a session of power pacing at the Bellingham Athletic Club Monday afternoon. The club offers 13sessions at different times thoughoutthe week. I knew I was going to feel it in the morning. Early inthe class, Perry tested our threshold for pain by haying us push ourselves up against the handlebarswhile cycling, creating a balance between the legs and upper body. To my amazement, I could actuallyfeel the puny muscles in my arms getting a workout. I was amazed; I thought power pacing only worked the legs. The class then burst into another session of intervals, pushing us to the brink. With Perry'scommand to "Get aggressive" the class cranked up the tension on the bikes, crouching low over the handlebars and pushing with whatever energy we had left. It felt great, and water had never tastedso good.. "You get an explosive energy," avid power pacer Kurt Brunhaver said. "fci this class you canrecruit your muscles for a really killer hill... At the bottom you can rest for a bit and then, boom, youexplode again," he said. "I don't know how else you would train your muscles like that," he said. "I thinkexplosive is really the right word." The 45-minute duration of the class literally flew by. With the laststroke of the pedals, the class can sit back* slug back some much-needed water and congratulate each other on a job well done. The sense of accomplishment after a class like this is amazing. Power pacinghas become so popular because it's the rider, not the instructor, who controls the workout. Each bikehas its own tension monitor, located in the middle of the handlebars, operated by the participant. If theclass feels as if it is becoming too difficult, it's easy to take it down a notch. Adjusting the tension is assimple as switching gears on a road bike. "I can teach a whole class and have beginners, intermediateand advanced and they will all get a good workout," Perry said. "Because they go at their own pace, it's very individualized," he continued. "But it's in a class atmosphere so you can get that competitivedrive." The class is also perfect for individuals who love a challenging aerobic workout without thechoreography one may encounter in a step or freestyle class. The class is diverse in age, gender andskill level. Power pacing is an ideal low-impact workout for I do^owerMicing because you 8%JmLmumJE?erc*se *n sucn a s^^mttn^^mÂ°f ^me' Ifeel like it'stne only exercise I've done that I don't give hwet pjMer people reha-b i l i t a t i n g i n j u r i e s . Power pacing gives a total body workout, withoutthe muscle strain a s s o c i a t ed with high-impact aerobics. "I do power pacing because you getso much exercise in such a short amount of time," three-time- a-week power pacer Ann Bell said. "Ifeel like it's the only exercise I've done that I don't give into." "When I ride my 21-speed bike, I usually get down into the easiest gear," she said. "But, when I'm on the power pacer I work as hard as Ipossibly can and I don't sabotage my exercise program." Pat Brown "hammers" it power pacing routine. Although there is a fun competitive edge to the class, knowing one's personal limits is important tosuccess. "When you first start, if your heart rate gets too high, you can sit back down and take theresistance down," Perry said. "You want to listen to your body and make sure that you aren't taking it upto anaerobic the whole time," he said. Even as a seasoned aerobics participant, I learned how easy it isto slip into an anaerobic mode. While barreling up what Perry called "Alabama Hill," I had to bring thetension on my bike down from 60 percent to about 40 percent. I felt like a failure until I looked aroundthe room and caught fellow classmates cranking down the tension on their machines. This is what power pacing is all about. It's about pumping hard while isolating the gluteus, quads and calves. "This classbreaks the monotony," Perry said. "If you're sick of step or 'high impact,' it's something new and exciting cardiovascular-wise." Although the class is exclusive to the BAC's downtown facility, the athletic clubprovides class diversity with six different instructors. "You really get a different workout with eachinstructor," Brunhaver said. "Each instructor has their Own style they bring to the class." Power pacingis also an ideal class for cycling fanatics who love the exhilaration of the outdoor sport, but don't getthe same feeling from other stationary bikes. "It's winter now and you can't really get out on your bike that much anymore if you are a road cycler," Perry said. Power pacing is a challenging and excitingworkout guaranteed to push your body to its limits. The class is conveniently offered three times aday: 7 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sessions are also offered 6 a.m.,12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

By John Bankston The Western Front The Western men'slacrosse team lost 11- 10 to the Western alumni team on Saturday in the annual alumni game. "Thealumni come out for fun," Western midfielder Josh Nelson said. "But lacrosse is a tough sport. We getout there and mess around, but the second half we get.pretty serious." 'There's a lot of competitive prideon the line in these games" he said. The alumni jumped to an early 3-1 lead before Western newcomerAdam Kaufman scored twice to even the score at 3-3. After the alumni scored to take a 4-3 lead,second-year attack-man Damon Gulzinski scored on a wide open shot. "When that play works, it's abeautiful thing," midfielder Adam Lent said. "Today, we were looking to execute some of those plays â€”show these guys we can finesse it if we want to." Trailing 8-6 late in the third quarter, Western went on a 4-0 run, showing the kind of offensive play they are capable of. "That was a good run," said Esser whofinished the day with one goal and two assists. "We worked the ball well on offense and we playedsmart on defense. It felt good to click as a team." "It was a good show," added attack-man E.J. O'Neal."I think we could have moved the ball around a little more," midfielder Sean Lawversaid. "We had a lot oftransition in this game. If we can settle the ball down more often, work it around, we can do a lot better." Western couldn't hold the lead, and the alumni scored two goals to tie the game and send it intosudden-death overtime. "They've got some sharp-shooters, snipers, even," Meyers said. "When theyscored, though, it was not settled offense. It was all fast break and improvisation." Esser nearly won thegame in overtime. Midfielder Ryan Mills hit Esser in the numbers with a perfect pass. Esser's shot was low and hard around an oncoming defender but it rang off the goal post. "I was open," Esser said. "Itwas a hit or miss. I got something on it â€” the goalie sure as hell wasn't going to stop it, but the postdid. That's lacrosse for you." Despite the loss, Western's men feel good about the season to come. "Ifeel our defense played solid," Meyers said. "We've got some improvements to make, but this isdefinitely an upswing." "The new guys got a lot of FT today," defenseman Anthony Braxton said. "Theyplayed with a lot of patience. They played with their heads. It's a positive sign." "I think the alumni comehere every year expecting to win and win big," midfielder Mike Hayes said. "I think it's definitely astepping stone for us to play them so competitively. We can build off of this." "We're getting better,"Mills added. "We're gonna be a lot better this spring."

"We still have a chance, but it has to be as league champions,which means Western Oregon has to fumble," Vikings head coach Rob Smith said. Western, 4-4 overall and 2-1 in the Columbia Football Association, was able to hold the Mountaineers to a 20-yard field goalin overtime, but that was all EOU needed for the victory. The Vikings got down to the 5-yard line beforebeing assessed a 13-yard holding penalty. Western got the ball back to the 10-yard line before seniorquarterback Darren Erath's fumble was recovered by the Mountaineer's Isoefo Senio. 'That's been ourpattern this year. Every time we take a step forward, we take a step backwards," Smith said. "In somany ways we're our worst enemy right now." In addition to the game-ending fumble, the Vikings lostanother fumble and Erath threw three interceptions, equaling his total going into the contest. "It's kind oflike a worst nightmare," Erath said. "We played down to their level today." Before Saturday's game, theVikings had won nine of the last 10 meetings against EOU. EOU's last victory was a 41-31 triumph atLa Grande. The Mountaineers have won three games in a row after losing five consecutive to start theseason. "Eastern's a very good football team," Smith said. "We knew we weren't going to run away withit." After trailing 21-14 at halftime, Western's Ryan Wiggins brought the score to 21-20 with a 74-yardtouchdown. Josh Bailey converted the extra point, kicking to tie the game with five minutes to go in the third quarter. The Vikings again played catch-up in the fourth quarter. Erath, who was 21-47 for 284yards, hit Adam Foster for a 25-yard touchdown for the game-tying touchdown. Western will now focusits attention on Saturday's game at Central Washington University and try to claim their third CFA title in as many years. The task could be a tough one; the Vikings haven't won in Ellensburg since 1977. "As a captain I'm going to try and make it a crazy week and try to get guys to work harder than they ever havebefore," senior linebacker Mark Spencer said. While playoff hopes are diminishing, the Vikings are notready to call it quits. "These guys aren't going to mail it in. No way. They have too much character forthat," Smith said. "But right now that's (the playoffs) the furthest thing from our minds. We just have to play like there's two games left in our season."

NovemberJ^jggJ Men'ssoccer serves up drubbing By Jed Palevich The Western Front After losing two games in a row, theWestern men's soccer team bounced back Saturday to dispatch Northwest College 6- 0 in Western'sseason finale. Western made a few adjustments in its starting line-up to help control the ball and givethe defense some strength. The Vikings started midfielder Rob Skafgaard and moved defender KeithBaker from his usual stopper position to sweeper. "When you give up 15 goals in two games, you needto make an adjustment," Coach Brad Swanson said. "Baker is real solid in the back for us." Theadjustments Western made seemed to make a difference, as the Vikings applied pressure early andoften. Forward Scott Swanson headed up the charge, scoring a hat-trick in his final home game as aViking. "We really looked to press forward â€” lately we haven't been," Swanson said. "We have beensitting back and that hasn't worked for us." Pressing forward was exactly what Western did Saturday.Early on, forwards Brian Torres and R.J. Merritt hooked up on the first Western strike. Merritt gaveTorres a brilliant pass. Torres hit it mid-stride to beat Northwest goalkeeper Tim Zion. Swanson tookadvantage of Northwest's lax marking, receiving a pass from defender Sean Standley. Swansonmade a turn and hit a 25-yard shot, which sailed over Zion's outstretched arm for the second score ofthe game. The third goal, Swanson's second, came en yoyfgive up 15 goals i^H|p gtfjkQkyou need to -mill'an S^ktment. when he followed up the deflected shot of midfielder Shane Brady. After the earlybarrage, Northwest settled down and didn't allow a goal for the last 15 minutes of the half. "We cameout and had a lot more fun," Baker said. "People just had a lack of heart and pride in our last twolosses." "We dug deep and realized we have to play better going into the playoffs," Baker said. Baker anchored a Western defense that shut down the Northwest offense. â€”ffi|W| Si|Â§|Â§|tt Men's sSccercoBoh In the second half, the Vikings put the game out of reach when midfielder Jay Harper out-battleddefenders in front of Northwest's goal for Western's fourth score. Minutes later, midfielder Brian Schaper took a Skafgaard pass and blistered in a goal. Swanson finished the scoring, following up midfielderMike Cusak's shot. "This is something we really needed," Swanson said. "Going into the playoffs, thiswas real important." Western goalkeeper Dave Green said he enjoyed only needing to make four saves."With Baker, Clark Bourgault, Terry Kangas and all those guys back there, it really makes it easy,"Green said. With this win, Western finished the regular season 10-5-1 and gained some confidencegoing into the playoffs next week. "This is a good start," Swanson said. "We have a whole week toprepare for the next match and at that point, in the playoffs, it's do or die." Western will play its firstplayoff game on Nov. 11. The Vikings do not know who their first game will be against, but they hope todo well coming out of this win. advertising display call: wwu I Families Friends I I Present thiscoupon for â€¢ 10% discount â€¢ One coupon per room. good Oct. 1st thru Jan. 31st 1997 "We'llLeave the Light on for You!"

Fridaymarked the end of the 10-day U.N. conference, a brainstorming session aimed at fighting globalwarming. European countries came to the table with a plan for developed nations to reduce car- andindustry-based pollutants to 15 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2010. Japan had plans for a 5percent reduction within the same time frame. Clinton's recent package has plans for developed nationsto merely stabilize their toxic emissions to 1990s levels by sometime between 2008 and 2010. Theconference ended in a stalemate, effectively a failure for the world's environmental community. The U.S.'stance is an obvious one. President Clinton is protector of one of the world's most industrialized, polluting countries in the world. As a rule, the leader of the free world would never bite the hands of the CEOsthat feed his country. In July, Clinton passed a non-binding unanimous Senate resolution againstratifying any treaty that would cause serious economic damage to the United States. America has farmore to lose than anyone in terms of emissions control: big business seems to be bigger here: for somereason. However, the president is trying to make cleaning up profitable. He recently outlined a five-year package of tax cuts and research spending for U.S. companies to be set aside for new technologies tosave energy and use less fossil fuels. Other proposals provide incentives for big companies to cleanup, including tax benefits for corporations to pay businesses with better emission levels. If we'velearned anything over the past 200-plus years of American history, it's that big business rules. Makingthe world a better place is always a distant second (at best) to the almighty dollar. The possibleincentives for developed nations are far outweighed by the fact that wasting the earth is simply moreprofitable. World leaders will drag their political feet as much as possible if it means a few morepennies in the bank. These leaders will drag themselves to Kyoto, Japan for the Dec. 1-10 climateconference, where they will face the concerns of environmentalists worldwide. Expect Clinton and theindustrialized nations to balk at anything that threatens big business. These developed nations aren'texactly "promise keepers." At Rio's 1992 Earth Summit, heads of the world's most industrializednations agreed to at least meet 1990's emissions standards by the year 2000. The latest calculations by the World Energy Council show that pollutants such as carbon dioxide have risen in industrializedcountries by 8 percent since 1990. Only Germany and the United Kingdom are close to keeping thesestandards. Tuiloma Neroni Slade, Western Somoa's U.N. ambassador, said after the conference, "The short-term economic interests seen to be driving some proposals are clearly unacceptable." It would be"morally repugnant," Slade said, if economic interests won out.

Students have had to endure these bothers for years asWestern adds one building after another. Despite the noise, students shouldn't necessarily becomplaining. Instead, we should be grateful for the added classroom space, modern technology andthe educational opportunities the new buildings have provided. Western has been working on majorconstruction projects for many years and fall wouldn't be the same without the sound of a jackhammerringing through Red Square. However, the hassle of building the Science Lecture Halls is easily forgottenas we show off the results, such as the Learning Resource Center, which will help future educators learnhow to teach children science. The labs in the Science Lecture building will give education studentspractice with technology that typically would be found in elementary and secondary schools. Althoughthe Haggard Hall renovation has been the recipient of more than a few grumbles, the remodeled buildingwill include popular features that will make the inconvenience easier to forget. Four new 24-hour computer labs will be added, plus three computer science labs and two foreign language labs. More libraryseating and study space and a 24-hour study lounge will also make the project worthwhile. Besidesenhancing educational opportunities at Western, the new buildings have also provided desperately needed classroom space. The Science Lecture building added five lecture halls. The Haggard Hall renovation will renovate four existing halls and outfit them with updated media systems. As enrollment continues toincrease at Western, space must be found for additional classrooms. Although some constructionprojects deserve student support, growth at Western shouldn't continue unchecked or merit automaticapproval. Each project needs to be evaluated for its negative and positive impact to the community andWestern. Students should consider Western's Master Plan and other construction projects carefullyand give their input to the administration. Not every construction project at Western deserves studentendorsement. However, it is important to consider the positive aspects of building instead, of justcomplaining about the noise. â€” Katherine Schiffner, Managing editor The Western Front Editor: GeneMetrick; Managing Editor: Katherine Schiffner; News Editors: Meredith Lofberg and Kristen T.

New homes threaten water supply Aleesha Towns COMMENTARY Every day, pesticides and car oils are washed into thewater that you and 65,000 other Bellingham residents drink. Storm- and surface-water runoff are thechief concerns of citizens as county officials consider a proposed subdivision nestled on Lake What-corn's north shore. The Winchester Estates may build up to 127 homes on the 47 acres around the Lake Whatcom watershed, which has caused many neighbors to worry about water quality. "Thisdevelopment, in and of itself, isn't the problem," said Bob Schmidt in a recent article in the BellinghamHerald. "But this thing is moving through with very few people aware of it. There are a lot of issuesconcerning storm-water runoff and surface-water runoff around the lake that aren't being dealt with." Withmore paved and populated surfaces around Lake Whatcom, rain and surface water has less groundspace to percolate through. Instead of slowly filtering into the lake, water runs directly into LakeWhatcom â€” washing toxic chemicals such as car oils and fertilizers with it. The county released theenvironmental impact statement draft for Winchester Estates last week. The plan is open for publiccomment until Nov. 7. "Rough estimates of pollutant loading ... can be made but the cumulative effect ofthose loadings on lake ecosystem will require more study," according to the draft, which was prepared by Donovan Kehrer and Associates. The estimates were based on the potential of 16,000 new residencesbuilt around Lake Whatcom. These estimates were than compared to the probable impact of the newsubdivision. "Evaluation by outside consultants clearly indi: cate (Winchester Estates) will not have anysignificant environmental impact on the lake," said Harry Jones of Jones Engineers Inc. Jones said theproject is state-of-the-art concerning water quality. However, the impact statement draft makes noprovisions for maintenance of runoff facilities. A city of Bellingham environmental official wrote a letter toWhatcom County in March expressing concern over the lack of the need for a cumulative impact study of all new growth on Lake Whatcom, according to the Bellingham Herald. Jones agrees an impact studywouldn't be a bad idea but said he feels it is the responsibility of community officials. "It's not a project thing; it's a long-term overview of how we should manage our watershed," he said. "A project is onlyresponsible for their project." "There is no legal mechanism which requires a cumulative impact study but various citizens and local government need to work together to protect the lake," said Joan Pelley, apublic information officer at the state Department of Ecology. Pelley said a cumulative impact studywould be a good idea to develop measures to guard against future degradation of lake water. "It shouldbe addressed," said Michael Hilles, a research scientist at Lake Whatcom Monitoring within HuxleyCollege. "You could wind up with a situation with pathogenic organisms in your water that you'll have totreat." "Now, Lake Whatcom is a relatively clean lake. But it comes down to, do we want to keep that?It's a decision the people have to make," he said. "It would be desirable to know the cumulative impact of development at established zoning," said Chris Spens, senior planner for Bellingham. "But it's clear thatwhat's present is degrading water quality." Spens said there is no need for a cumulative study at thispoint. Instead, the city hopes to plan protective measures for present development. To do so, the Cityof Bellingham and Whatcom County have teamed up in a watershed inter-local agreement task force forwater district 10. After two meetings, the task force adopted a nine-point watershed management planthat would address some of the goals of a cumulative impact statement. Funding for the proposed planwould be part of the 1998 tax package. A watershed management plan is an excellent start â€” butwithin the plan there needs to be more restrictions to protect our watershed from future development.Although the plan may address our present needs, its feasible future restrictions will need to be morestringent. At present zoning, water quality is being degraded and building will not stop because it isvirtually impossible to rezone this land. An impact statement of the lake which encompasses all theland zoned for residential development seems like the only way to ensure water quality for the future. Through this project, the city, county and citizens have the opportunity to work together to rninimizepotential damage of development. The implementation of a cumulative study seems to be the logicalnext step in this partnership. ---------- Western Front - 1997 November 4 - Page 15 ---------- November 4. 1997 MUM!m mmMMmmK^Ms^K^^^^msmM^UKm. 'SmmmMmm Western's affirmativeaetion record three better than originally reported To the editor: Regarding the story, "Western hires one minority professor," in the Oct. 14 issue of The Western Front, we are sorry that the reporter was givenincorrect information about the number of minority faculty hired. In fact, of the 41 available tenure-trackpositions, four were filled by minority applicants â€” about 10 percent of the available openings. Whilethese numbers show improvement, we continue to strive to increase our minority faculty. We haveworked hard to.increase the number of tenured and tenure-track women faculty members from 81 in1991-92 to 111 in 1997-98. The university also has instituted a Minority Fellows program, which bringsscholars to campus to teach a reduced load and provides support to the individual while he or shecompletes the terminal degree. Two such Fellows are currently funded this year: one in the AmericanCultural Studies program and the other in the Women's Studies program. Presently, we are conducting asearch for an executive director for affirmative action, equal opportunity and employment diversity to helpus in this task. Western continues to affirm the value of diversity. Indeed, we consider the experience and knowledge of diversity to be of critical importance for Western students today. Roland L.

Judaism will lead toinferiority and eternal damnation. Does this sound vaguely familiar? A dead homosexual boy in a coffin atthe "Hell House" gives all those protestors plenty of reasons why the show should be stopped.Nevermind that Ms. Millington never bothered to include any interviews with the protestors to see exactlywhat they were protesting. It was hate speech in the "Hell House," specifically designed to terrorizeanyone in the viewing audience that doubted their sexuality. I hope the" organizers of the "Hell House"would remember that according to their own scriptures, judgment is God's alone to make; not theirs.Don't condemn more teenagers to suicide or death by telling them the lifestyles they are consideringwill lead them into a coffin. Respect their decisions and merely encourage them to act responsibly.We've been down the road of hate and fear before. I hope the organizers of the "Hell House" take a long,hard look at where they are trying to lead us.

By ROGER GROVDAHL Last Tuesday and Wednesday a near record number of Western voters went to the polls and elected their leaders fornext year. Ray Cohrs was elected president in a landslide over Norm Richardson and Al Evans. ReySundal also pulled a good percentage of votes in winning the vice-presidential race. Roland Saylor andDave Gay won the race for the two positions open on the Board of*â€”â€”â€” ~ Control. Bob Bollman,election chairman, was in part responsible for the near-record vote. He stated, "I think there was awonderful turnout. The candidates did a very thorough job of campaigning. In general I think everyone dida very good job and cooperated terrifically. I would especially like to thank Esther Gib-* boms, whohelped with the elections, and Dr. Howard Critchfield, faculty adviser on the election board." Out of the nearly 1200 possible voters at Western, 676 voted. This is compared to 500 in the primaries this year.Percentage-wise it is 56% an increase of 14%. Cohrs took a tremendous total of 411 votes to leadRichardson who was next with 140. Third in line was Al Evans with 67 votes. Breakdown of the vice-presidential race was similar. Rey Sundal polled 390 votes followed far back by Ivan Hickenbottom with125. Jim Simon was third with 93 counters. Board of Control election was a very tight, interesting racewith three candidates grouped near the top. Roland Saylor topped the pack with 298 votes. Gay followed with 281. These two will step in to fill the two Board vacancies. Closely following Gay was Bob Dunlapwith 252 counters. Bill Johnson and Larry Renner were grouped closely together at the bottom with159 and 153 votes? respectively. Margaret Salisbury received two write-in votes. After learning of thevictories, Cohrs and Sundal made statements concerning the school year of 1954- 55. Cohrs expressedthe desire to help the coHege during hfa time m office. He said, "I hope that I shall be able to provemyself worthy of the generous support of Western's student body. One approaches the task withhumility and with the hope that the best interests and wishes of the students and the college may beadvanced. In order to guide student affairs wisely, I shall appreciate any suggestions and crtiicisms fromthe student body. I shall attempt to serve Western with dignity and fortitude. Sundal expressed a similardesire. Rey stated, "I would like to sincerely thank the people who supported me in the recentelections. I am honored that so many people have confidence in my abilities and shall do my best tofulfill the duties of your vice-president. I am certain that I shall enjoy working with Ray Cohrs and theBOC next year." Even with the terrific turnouts at the polls we had this time, It is not as good as it couldand should have been. It is a .step in the right direction, however. If succeeding committees take heed of this election and excellent candidates with sound backing offer good platforms and novel campaigns,the voting percentage should go up even higher than 56 percent. Schaub To Give Organ Recital DavidSchaub, organist at WWC, will present his second organ recital Sunday afternoon, March 7, at 4 p. m.in the auditorium. The organist will be assisted by the college string orchestra under the direction ofDr. Frank D'Andrea, head of the music department. BALANCED PROGRAM The program for the recitalis balanced between modern and traditional compositions. The first section includes Handel's"Concerto for Organ," opus 4 No. 5; Bach's Coral Preludes, "Lord Jesus Christ, With Us Abide," and"Christ, Our Savior"; "Fugue in G Major," by Bach; "Fantasy in F Minor," by Mozart; and "Suite for String Orchestra," by Bach. Schaub will play "Sonata III" for organ by Paul Hindemith, a composition in18th century contrapuntal style but with 20th centry harmonic idiom. Three modern pieces by George.Frederick McKay, will be included in the recital. They are "Rondolet," "Arietta Piacevole" and "JoyfulMarch." "Pastorale" by Roger Ducasse and the second movement from Leo Sowerby's "Symphony in GMajor" for the organ will conclude the program. The 5/4 meter in this composition gives it particularrhythmic interest. Ferris Reminds WWC Students of Pre-Registration Registrar Donald A. Ferrisreminds all students that they must pre-register for the spring quarter by Friday, March 12. Graduates, seniors, juniors and sophomores may pre-register any time, and freshmen may do so any time afterTuesday, March 9. Counselors are opening, their offices extra hours during the pre-registration. Hours are listed on office adviser's doors and in the registrar's office. Ferris urges all students to pre-registeras soon as possible to avoid last minute delays and switches in class schedules. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 March 5 - Page 2 ---------- Audience's Immature Behavior Censured All amateur theatrical productions operate under a particularlyhorrifying hazard. This hazard is not that the production may appear amateurish, but rather, that theaudience will be so immature as to react childishly when professionalacting is. not, forthcoming. Suchwas the case during last Saturday's performance of the Winter quarter play, "Liliom." ~ â€¢ gt;'.â€¢"-.,.Courtesy Lacking The tittering, the laughing, and the juvenile remarks passed loudly in the audienceduring Liliom's death scene (a scene admittedly not up to the level of Eva Le Galienne^and JosephSchild-kraut) displayed, quite openly, the lack of good taste'vandf courtesy commonly ascribed to highschool students and, younger college students. .'â€¢-â€¢,- The particularly amazing fact is:This;immature behavior was displayed by so-called "adult"' persons from off-campus, as much as, if notmore than, by college students. Abuse Intolerable Western's student need not be subjected to suchabuses. Re-currance of the nauseating display of immaturity must be met with positive action.Suggestions will be made in a later editorial. The College Scene.. . by Dunlap Let's start out this weekwith a short-short story. Once, long ago (about 44 hours ago) there was a fellow at a college calledWestern. Name was Joe. Joe Student, boy Knucklehead. He led a sessile life in the science department(or the PE dept. or the Engl. dept. or any of the many departments at WWC.) He rarely reared his headabove the current of his own little area of concentration to view the activities or shenanigans of those* â€¢â€¢ around him. His first love was Protozoan Ciliata. In the PE department Joe would have beenentranced by aroma of "pure" wool socks or something of that nature. NOSE BURIED One day theyhad an election at WWC. Presidential yet! Did old J.S. tear himself out of his rut and go to the campaign assembly? No! Did he decide on popularity or ability? No! No! No! to all questions. Joe Student sat onhis haunches and fiddled with his Poriferi, his Indian clubs, or buried his nose into a pregnant volumeof Chaucer. There were 520 "Joe" and "Jane" Students who didn't think that it was necessary to cast aballot. What sort of mental fog are they immersed in? Are these people with us? Inattention togovernment on national scale has led to the downfall of many governments by Red infiltration in ourtime. Here at college we should be cognizant of this. Government should be foremostâ€” rankeddirectly alongside of academic activities. But, it is not? DID YOU GO? Those of you who read this know whether you went to the polls last Tuesday or Wednesday. What's your excuse if you didn't go? And tothe first one that says, "I thought that the candidates were not worth voting for." I say, "Look, Joe, thefuV ing was open to all." Well, how about that? Â» * â€¢ Loungeology wasn't so sharp last week. Theplace was invaded by a horde of Politum Americanum stu-dentum. The jukebox was almost drowned out by the roar of orating politicians. Frankly, in this case, I prefer the jukebox. The lounge custodial staffgave up sweeping out and just shoveled. The political debris was THAT thick. Hey, fellows! What fatalattraction does Liberace have, for our Western variety of girls? Don't say that he has none, becausethe TV is all but obscured by oggling females on Wednesday night at 8:30. What is it? Whatever itisâ€”however efficient as a female attraction it isâ€”I don't want it. â€¢ * * * There! That's it. I'll bet you thought that I'd say something nasty about that stupid, noisy jukebox. Didn't you? WWCollegianPage 2 Friday, March 5, 1954 fkeside Chat I was recently asked by several students - for my opinion on how efficiently the BOC has operated thus far this year. Because of a recent article in the Collegian this question has been in the minds of many students who are interested in student government and Ibelieve the question merits an answer. As chairman of the BOC I have fortunately been in a position toobserve the board in action, possibly more than anyone else in college. This experience, I feel,qualifies me to answer the question. First of all, it should be understood that I, as president, havevery little, if any, voice in the decisions that are made by the BOC. As a non-voting member of the BOC my responsibility is mainly that of chairman or moderator. Now then, when it comes to the way theboard operates, to be sure, it does not operate as efficiently as it would if only one man made it up.Remember that there are fifteen people that comprise the boardâ€” fifteen individuals, all exercising theirrights. Inevitably there is going to be a lot of haggling and debate. That is the democratic.process. Doyou want to do away with that? I know your answer is NO! On the whole, considering that the board ismade up of so many people, the record of accomplishments is remarkable. Do you think they work anyfaster in Olympia or Washington? (To say nothing of Puerto Rico.) / . We do our best. We try to befair. If we blunder, we are only too happy to have your criticism. Feel free to make it. We welcome it!From my point of view, democracy, first, lastâ€”and always. HENRY HOWE, ASB President. CollegeStudents Should Be Adult Drivers, But Are They? By STAFF REPORTER It is understandable that highschool students should be inconsiderate and poor drivers. Although some pepole here at Western say that the college student is by nature immature, I say that he should be mature enough to drive like, asane citizen. His "squirrel" days should all be behind. This is not the case. There ARE some studentswho consistently violate traffic regulators. The impression made by bad college drivers reflects on thewhole college. Wednesday night a motorcycle was seen to roar up Oak street and come to a screeching halt in front that? First: the sidewalk was the route of travel. Second: the operator was young, althoughnot a college student, and anyone seeing such stupid actions would assume that this "chowder-head"was a WWC student. There is no direct control on outsiders, such as this fellow, but his friends, andrelative, who are members of the student body should realize that it reflects adversely on the College.Worse than this is the "guy" that drives without due regard for life and limbâ€”his or someone else's.Fifty miles per hour up Garden street is a fairly good clipâ€”on that we probably all agree.

He's also been seen running stopsigns in his blue grey '41 Ford coupe. We, the Governor of Washington, the Administration, theAssociated Student body, and the staff of the WWCollegian, think that the time has come for ALLcollege students to re-evaluate their driving techniques. Remember this when you next get that urge to step down on the acelerator, although there may be no police in sight. College students shouldn'thave to be watched, but in the interest of safety for all, you may be. Appointment of Navigator andKlipsun editors for next year became the big item on the Board agenda this week. Ordinarily the Klipsuneditor is appointed toward the end of Spring quarter but a change in the by-laws provides that the Klipsuneditor shall be appointed in the sixth week of Winter quarter. This change was made at the request of the pres-* month. SPRING INFORMAL PLANNED One hundred dollars was granted to the Pep commiteefor a Spring Sports Informal which they hope will become in the future the big dance of the Springquarter.

This will enable the new editor a chance to get on-the- spot training before theresponsibility falls on her shoulders. Na-dine Schilling received the nod from the Board as the personto sit in the driver's seat next year. The only other applicant, unfortunately, was Ruth Ann Britt. I sayunfortunately because I believe there should have been more interest and therefore more applicantsfor the post as important as editing the annual. COLLINS APPOINTED Tom Collins received the job ofediting the Navigator for next year. Although not as important to most students it is of importance to allincoming freshmen. It helps them to "navigate" on Western's campus. One hundred seventy-five dollarswas given to a member of the IA department to enable him to make a trip to Los Angeles to representWestern at an IA conference being held there later this month. Twenty-five dollars was also granted toACE so that they may send five representatives from Western to an educators conference being heldin Wenatchee this Tromitis'HitsWWC Students Saturday By KATHY TROUTNER "That old Black Magic has me in its spell." According to people in love this has nothing to do with the Junior Prom. ^ But to usfellow Westernites, Black Magic has cast a certain spell upon us, alien to love. This spell has beendefined as "Junior Promitis," and with all due respect to lovers, Black Magic is the theme. Dancing from 9 to 1 to Mickey In-glass and his twelve piece band on March 6, in the gym, is the only cure for thisaffliction. So may am old Promitis victim suggest a try at the cure . . . sounds like an AlcoholicsAnonymous ad.

The Viks applied the pressure at the start of the game and failed to release it until the finalgun, which was something UBC was not counting on. Heretofore, Western has managed to play ballwtth the best teams for the first, half, but in the final half they haven't been able to hit the side of thegym. The Viks faced a severe height deficit but they offset this the only way they could: with speed. The rangy Thunderbirds could not keep up the pace set by the smaller Vikings and their inability to do sowas the biggest single factor contributing to a Western win. VIK DEFENSE GOOD The defcasive work of Coach McDonald's men should not be overlooked. They put on a scrappy defense that kept UBCfrom taking any easy shots and helped hold their shooting percentage down to 20%. The reboundingwork pf Knigge, Stone and Crooks was outstanding as they repeatedly stole the ball off thebackboards and tied up the Thunderbird rebounders. Western shot only 26% but fortunately it wasgood enough to out-shoot the Birds from the floor.

Western fans did not leave disappointed as the Viks managed to squeeze out a slim 54-47 win. GAME TIGHT The Vikings werenot content with one league victory and seventh place, but they raised their sights for two wins and a tiefor sixth spot. It was not an easy task as they faced a much wiser and more determined team than theymet the previous night. The Thunderbirds hung on stubbornly each point of the way and contested thelead until the final minutes. Percentage wise the Viking offense looked better than it did Fridaynight as they employed" the same tactics as they used the night before and outran the Birds with theirfirehorse type of basketball.

The score of the game, 47-42, was high of all the eight teamsentered. Surprising it was for those who came to the hotel late and found their beds short-sheeted. Thequestion is, who were the culprits and how was room entrance gained? Just for clarificationâ€”allsuspicions have been laid aside concerning Lois Chudek's staggering into the hotel late Saturdaynight. An ear infection caused a loss of equilibrium and planted her in the hospital for a few days.After lights-out Saturday night quite an argument occurred between Pat Ingram and Emmy Lewis as to whether the hotel window had steam on it or if it was covered with dirt. After a long session of debatewith Pat insisting it was dirt, Emmy could take no more. She went to the window, ran her hand over it,calmly washed her hands in the washbowl and then as she climbed back into bed grudgingly grunted . .. "dirt." Those of you wno know Sally King will be interested in learning that she was at UBC playing onthe Central Washington team. How. much of a traitor can one person fplay against Western's women'steam.

Marquis went through another quarterundefeated. Although they won twenty-eight games, a very enviable record in anyone's book. Duringlast week's play in league A the champions won an exhibition game from Bornsteins, 45-32. Born-steinsfinished in the cellar in the City league A. High for the winners was Gard with 15 points and Nelson had10 points to lead the losers. On February 24 last quarters league A champions, the Gym Rats, cameup with their best game of the quarter as they easily beat the Flying Canucks 57-19. Bowsher was highfor the winners with 26 points, and contributing to the Gym Bats cause was steady Spud Hfiller with 12points. On February 25 the big game of the quarter was played and once again Marquis beat Daniels.However Daniels got closer to the champions than any other team in any of the twenty-eight games. The final score was 33-30. The score at half-time was 15-13 in favor of the champs and they pulled away quickly in the third period and opened up an 11 point lead. Daniels put on the pressure in the fourthquarter and closed the gap to two points with less than 30 seconds to go. Daniels, however, just couldnot get that equalizer and when Larry Olson fouled Kenny Olson in the last second of play that wound it up for the season. Ken "Ole" Olson sank one of the two foul shots and put the game away for good. High men in the game were Card (13) for Marquis, and Fotheringham (11) for Daniels. Other games In league A last week were: Alpiners picking up a forfeit from the Tigers and the Steam Rollers forfeiting to theGlutchers. The team from MRH is the new league B champion. Last quarter the champ was Marquis. Inlast week's game MRH picked up a forfeit from Larsons' Farces to easily cop the crown. The Phantom Five came close to tieing MRH for the title but dropped their last game 40-24 to Huntoon. They hadpreviously beaten Hospice n 30-26 to get within striking distance of the top but they could not beatHuntoon when the chips were down. In the playoff game last Monday, Marquis had to come frombehind to beat the B league champs, 47-39. MRH led at the half 22-17. As the end of the second halfneared the league A champs started to put the pressure on and MRH could do nothing to stop them.Once again, as has been the case all ^through the twenty-eight games Marquis has played, Jim Gardwas the big factor and leader of the team. Gard scored 15 points in this game, but 13 of them came inthe last half. Gates dropped in 12 points to aid the Marquis cause. High for the losers was Duncan with12 points. In summing up the season, it is not hard to see why Marquis is ouch an outstanding team.Every member is a potential scorer, nowhere else is team play so well illustrated and to top it all offthey win when the chips are down. The starting five consists of Gard, Thomas, Hub-ber, Halleck, andGates. These five functioned like a well oiled machine most of the time and led by wee Jim Gard theywere hard to beat at all times. Jim would be this writer's choice for the most valuable player of thequarter in the men's intramural basketball league.

Kiwanis Brings in Watson Singers By RUTH ANN BRITT TheBellingham Kiwanis club presented the Beth Watson Singers Tuesday evening, March 2, at the WWCauditorium. Music on the program was varied, from popular to classical, although the majority of theselections were semi-classical. ATMOSPHERE CORDIAL Each member of the ensemble was soloistsometime during the evening. This made an impression on me as I have been to many concertswhere only one or two members of the group have been featured. The whole atmosphere createdby the singers seemed informal. I think this was created by the manner in which the program waspresented and the manner in which it was sung. For example, in some of the songs which were of theromantic nature, the women would flirt with the men. Very effective, I might add! WATSONFEATURED Featured on the program was Beth Watson, dramatic soprano. She was accompanied byHerbert Reeder at the console. Reeder also played a few numbers on the console. With music suchas "Make Believe," "That's An Irish Lullaby," "Thine Alone," and selections from "Brigadoon," you canbe sure that the audience enjoyed the concert. Those who have been "crabbing" about the A L seriescertainly should have gone to the concert Tuesday. They would have no objections I'm sure! AWSMembers Attend Meet At Seattle U.

Fred Lange was captain of the team and did a fine job in both the fall quarterleague and the winter quarter league. More good news is also in order: Only ten more days of schooluntil the end of the quarter! SENIOR HALL By NANCY LANGE We have a new addition to Senior hall this week. He is the cutest little black puppy you have ever seen. We would like to find a good home for him. Do you qualify? Wednesday night Mrs. Hayhes and Marlene Oliver were our guests dinner. Itcertainly is quiet around here with all the band members gone. Five people can really make adifference. We know they must be having a good time though (no hours). Letter To Editor DearEditor: I would like to raise one small voice of thanks to the Artist and Lecture Series committee forbringing to Western a fine group of musicians and authors during the winter quarter. Manystudents, including most of the candidates for student body offices, have made loud criticisms, few ofwhich were constructive. The general complaint, however, is that the artists are all too "long-hair," toointellectual and not at all entertaining. It seems the point in need of clarification is this: Is the A LSeries intended to entertain or enlighten? Perhaps for those who believe it should entertain we couldbring to our stage such stars as Johnny Ray and Lily St. Cyr. Perhaps the BOC could recommendthat Lit. 205 replace Shakespeare with Pogo and that the faculty produce a floor-shoW at Edens hallevery night to make dinner more pleasant. How long will it be before the students here recognizeWestern as a place to learn rather than a three-ring circus? KENNETH PAULL. GIFTS For . . .

Kappa Delta Pi Hears Talk "Touring Europe," was the topic of PatSutherland's talk to the college chapter of Kappa Delta Pi in the Edens hall club room Monday night.Miss Sutherland drew from her experiences gained in the summer of 1949 when she had joined theStudent International Organization's tour of the continent. The trip began from New York harbor, whereMiss Sutherland and the other members of the group were packed aboard the Greek ship "Neptunia"with Greeks and Italians who were trying to forget English and recall their native tongues. LISBONFIRST Lisbon, Portugal, was the first city she visited. Before the two months of traveling through eightcountries were over she had visited many of the more famous cities of Europe, including Paris, London,Lyon, Florence, Venice, and Cologne. Miss Sutherland was greatly impressed by the painting,"Winged Victory," the historical "Hall of Mirrors," the fading "Last Supper, and the pillars of the Romancivi lization which still stand and command respect in the heart of Rome today. At the completion ofthe whirlwind tour, which included transpor tation by train, bus, airplane, bicycle and tired feet, MissSutherland was overjoyed at seeing once again the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor and the culturethat is distinctly American. The talk was illustrated by color slides and followed by coffee and adiscussion period.

Whether it features pleated cotton batiste in avariety of colors or puffing sleeved, satin striped broadcloth, this cute little blouse is definitely somethingto look for. A white coat has always seemed to me to be an almost unattainable dream possession."Now, thanks to science and modern invention, it's as easy to own and wear as a cashmere sweater.Choose a wrap around, Chesterfield or a mere quick hug of a jacket in cashmere, Orion fleece or plainold white wool homespun. These fit nicely over a suit or cotton dresses or even longer ball dresses. Ifyou have the problem of too many underclothes and straps and things under your cottons on these warm spring and summer days that are approaching, here is your answer. A feminine little slip in whitecotton pelisse that doesn't need ironing after each washing.' Other attractions are: an extra low de-colletage for bare-top dresses, no straps and a specially designed "Hidden Treasure" bra. For Saturdayevenings at the Holiday this spring buy a new polished cotton sateen print. Shoulder baring, butterfly and candlelight dresses in numerous colors are really a sensation.

A Collegian reporter was in the class and wrote the following interpretation of this trip.) By STAFF REPORTER The gateswung open, we were admitted, and then shut behind us with a very final clang. We had a shut-up feeling even with the knowledge that it was only for a few hours. How would it feel to enter those gates with theknowledge that a year or more will pass before he is once more a free agent. Is it a hopeless lostfeeling? Does anger and hatred rise up and enclose in its compass all of mankind? These and otherquestions assailed our minds. Does that short, fat man hate us? Do we represent to these men thesociety that has made them outcasts? Does that tall, thin man hate us? What did that young mandoâ€”steal a carâ€”rob a grocery storeâ€” or a million and one other indiscretions which cause society toput him in here for a short or a long period of time. Did society ever think that maybe they were thecause of what he did? Perhaps because he did not finish high school he could not get a job. In want hewas forced to steal. Because he stole society banned him from their company. When he is releasedwill be so hate society that for the rest of his life his outlook will be so warped he will turn his back onsociety and live on what he can get from society without earning it. There were some whose incarceration taught them a lesson. But how many of these if the press of necessity becomes too great will again turn to obtaining subsistence and very survival from outside the law that "protects" society. These andmany other ruminations gave us cause to think as we were given a good inside look into Monroereformatory.

The principal issue involved concerned the 1948-49 expenditures for the WWCol-legian. According to a report from Alton Magnuson, present business manager, total cost qf publishing the new tabloid-size eight page paper for the entire school year would run approximately 31,100 more than was approved under this year's ASB budget. DR. VAN AVER ON BOARD While attending the Par East conference at Central Washington college, Ellensburg, April 28-30, Dr. Albert Van Aver, of the WWC English department, was elected to the executive committee of the Planning Committee on the Par East in Higher Education. Rankin Vice Presidentr Hodges and Hannah On Board of Contro|| Bill Jones was elected Wednesday to head the student body for the year 1949-50. He was chosen in an election which had the largest number of votes cast in the history of Western. : ..I Loren Rankin was voted in as Jones' helpmate on the vice presidential ticket. Cecil Hannan and Barbara Hodges were elected four quarter man and four quarter woman to the Board of Control, respectively. The amendment, which is for the addition of four members to the Board of Control, was passed by a vote of 406 for and 44 against. . Gus Pagels and Fred De Bruler, incumbent ASB president and vice-president respectively, In the absence of the fall quarter editor and manager, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publications adviser, was present to explain to the board why the Collegian's finances show a potential deficit. She said that the tabloid-size paper, adopted for the first time last fall, contains about 1000 more words and costs about $30 more per issue, and that the cost of printing labor and news stock rose sharply last October. Mrs. Burnet also pointed out that the advertising for the tabloid paper did not average 150 inches per issue as the fall quarter editor had estimated when seeking the board's authorization for the change. George Dowd, fall quarter editor is being contacted in Washington, D. C. for a statement since the discussion leading to the adoption of the tab-ibid does not appear in the minutes of the board. Board members expressed the opinion that they should have been informed of this situation sooner. They concurred in the belief that a solution must be found to offset the deficit if possible. Several suggestions were made concerning the best method for curtailing Collegian expenditures for the remainder of this year. The board asked that these suggestions be passed on to the publications staff, and that the staff present, the most feasible plan for approval at next Wednesday's board meeting. QUESTIONNAIRE READY Dr. Maurice Freehill, chief of the Bureau of Research, reported that the questionnaire prepared by the Faculty-Student Committee on Ex-tra- Curricular Activities is ready for use. Conclusions drawn from the results of the quiz will be utilized by the committee in planning improvements in next year's activity schedule.

PREXY GUS PAGELS CONGRATULATES NEWLY ELECTED JONES Nominees Speak in Election Campaign Assembly Tuesday Bearded men, a swing band, and a three ring circus were in evidence at last Tuesday's election campaign assembly. Chairman Fred DeBruler announced the candidates and their managers, while Gordie Ford's band furnished musical interludes between speeches to approximately 200 interested students. First to speak were two girls up for four-quarter woman. They made respective vows to represent students to the best of their ability. Four male candidates for four-quarter man or woman, cleverly introduced by their campaign managers, presented their qualifications, gave their respective ideas on current issues of student government, funds and services. Building up interest were three candidates for the hotly contested office of vice-president who were introduced by various displays of humor and stunts. The only woman competing was followed to the rostrum by the two men running for the post. ; Dateline Friday, May 6—AWS-Norsemen assemblies. Baseball, golf, and tennis, Seattle U.

Praise Should Go To Ned Baker and Students For Election Success It's all over but the shouting and there's plenty of time for that in the future. Usually when one turns to this spot in the weekly blow—one is likely to read of the grievances of either you, the students, or we, the students, or some sleepy-eyed individual. After the fine (or even spectacular) turnout in Wednesday's election, we haven't the heart to gripe. Possibly not all your candidates, or ours either for that matter, came through wtih flying colors, but the thing that counts is the representation and school spirit involved. Campaigning has been on a scale unprecedented in recent years. The fact that no small amount of politics was brought into play in the latter part of the compaign gave the finishing touches to a colorful battle-royal. Up until the final minutes of polling, it was anybody's party, and the total of 891 votes cast more than proved that those elected were chosen by a true majority of the student population. And why was the total number voting larger than ever before? You undoubtedly have your own opinions, but compare yours with this one of ours and see if you don't agree. Did you notice those walking footsteps in Hie main hall and hear that booming voice yelling out to one and all to vote? Did you listen to that soothing phonograph music drifting up and down the halls during the entire day? To us, these seemed sure ways to get the students out to vote. The one mainly responsible for these undertakings was Western's new pep chairman, NED BAKER, who has really done a fine job since he took over the reins and deserves the backing of every spirited member of the student body. ^ co$f BONGO-BONGO—A T.C.U. senior recently gave a speech in his public-speakmg class entitled, "All Music and Why I Hate It." At the St. Patrick's Day dance someone remarked to him, with reference to the way he was stomping around, that he apparently had overcome his aversion. "No," he answered, "I'm only here as a missionary." • • • "I WONT DANCE"—Rumor has it that the males at the University of Washington are nothing but duds when it comes to tripping the light fantastic. The whole sordid affair came to the surface when a publicity agent for a name band came to the Daily, office to make arrangements for news releases. He said, to-wit: "College men are poor dancers. There is no agility in them." The editor, being a man, naturally sent out an inquiring reporter to uncover the facts. Seems the ballyhoo artist was right. The only concession the girls would make was to admit that the foreign students were wonderful dancers. * * * DIXIE COP—A student from a southern university was hauled into cburt recently for pilfering fruit from a fruit stand. The judge fined him ten dollars for impersonating a policeman. Sounds like right around home. SORRY, WRONG MODEL—With an assignment slip reading, "Get a picture of model Miss Basin in the civil engineering building," a camera-wielding student from an I.S.U. press photography class eagerly searched said building for a feminine model named Miss Basin. His journalistic ^•iovwjas crushed when a smiling engineering prof asked, "Could you by chance be looking for our scale model of the Mississippi River Basin?" Spring Not Such Joyous'Occasion By DORICE PUTNAM "What a lovely way to spend a spring day." ' Sealed—in a tomb with beckoning windows making the misery more intense with their pictures of warm golden sun falling on a bright, happy world filled with gloriously free people. Chained—to a hard unyielding chair, piercing your back, keeping you, by its hardness, from blissful sleep; squeaking with each agonizing twist and turn of your enslaved body. Tortured—by the roar of the teacher's voice racing on and on, stuffing and forcing knowledge into your weary brain. Haunted—by thoughts of friends joyfully playing tennis, swimming or sleeping, while you squirm in misery. Frustrated—by the social stigmas that keep you from leaping out of the steel-like chair and through the beckoning window. Doomed—by fate and the creeping hands of your watch to remain for 50 minutes in this semi-living condition, along with snoring fellow-sufferers. " » Despised—by the long-suffering teacher, for your inattention and loud yawns. Saved—by a kind of beloved friend, the bell." Escaped— to the outside world. To Girls of WWC O lovely maid!

Everything has been completed except for stenciling the doors, and this is expected to be finished tomorrow. Bill Radcliffe, chairman of the renovation committee, said that about $150 has been spent on the job and that considerable money 4tas; been saved through the fine cooperation of the students in volunteering to supply the labor.* r A great deal of time and effort was contributed by students who gave up their Saturdays to help out, and, as Radcliffe put it, "To say.:that we appreciate the work done by these people is hardly adequate." ...Among the persons who worked on the. lounge was Ken Blakeley, who designed and painted most of the figures on the coffee bar. Lois French, Hugh Slagle, and Ralph Brown designed the stencils, and Bob Sarvis arid Bob Gallmeyer cut the plywood, which amounted to about 400 running feet.

Organized by its director, Coleman Cooper, in 1935, it is an American version of the Vienna Boys' choir, world-famous before the war. The fact that the Apollo choir has surpassed all standards set by the European visitors has been firmly established by America's leading critics. During the past ten years the choir has filled more than 800 engagements on artist courses. The boys have appeared with several of the nation's finest symphony orchestras, and over all the major networks, singing on the Bell Tele- Wc s t e r n # Wa ski n gt COLLEGIAN May 6, 1949 WWColIegian, Bellingham, Washington Page 3 fudges for the event have not been announced as yet.

Other of their professional appearances were at the Waldorf- Astoria and Town Hall in New York; the White House and National Art gallery in Washington; the Bach Festival in Florida; and in joint recitals with such celebrated artists as Gladys Swarthout and Helen Traubel. Mr. Cooper, a foremost authority on training boys' voices, studied with the Vienna choir and is recognized among the finest of vocal directors. His patience and initiative are largely responsible for the success of the choir. Free tickets for the concert are available in the business office for students who plan to attend. "Sailing to See" to Show Scenes of South Sea Sailings "Sailing to See," a color movie narrated by Kirby Atturbury, is scheduled for next Tuesday's assembly program. It tells the exciting story of a cruise on the schooner "Yankee," which took a crew of amateurs around the world on an 18 month voyage. They sailed from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to the South Seas and back via the Cape of Good Hope and the West Indies. In selecting his crew, Captain Irving Johnson signed on Kirby Atter-bury as photographer, equipping him with 30 cameras, and deep sea gear for photography. "Sailing to See" resulted as an unusual and entertaining film. Mrs. Johnson, her two small children, and several young wives kept the cruise homelike through calm seas and storms. The cost of the jaunt was shared by the volunteer crew of which the cook was the only professional member. Wanderlust and the desire for excitement led the young Americans to the Galapagos islands, where tons of tuna were caught with rod and line; to Tahiti; to New Guinea, famous for crocodile hunting; and to Tarawa, famous for its huge outrigger canoes. Wherever the "Yankee" anchored, the camera recorded a lifelike picture which has been shown for such sponsors as Melville Grosvenor of the^ National Geographic. Junior Outing Off Postponement of the junior class picnic was made necessary by the many conflicting activities taking place this week. In making this announcement, Art Runestrand, class president, said that a tentative date of Tuesday, May 24, has been set. The picnic is to be held at Calmor Cove and will include a salmon bake, boating and dancing. Meredith Hess, John Pill, Bettyjane Christie, Rose Mary Dewar, Loren Rankin, Ruth Soderstrom and Jean Seelye are working on the arrangements. AWS, Norsemen Programs Today Holding separate assemblies this morning, both the AWS and Norsemen's club presented programs of special interest to their members. "Miss Norsemen of WWC," Janet Harris, reigned at the Norsemen assembly. Miss Harris, the club's entry in the "Miss Whatcom County and Blossom Festival Queen" contest, entertained her sponsors with the selections she plans to sing in the competition. Nomination of officers was concluded at the Norsemen assembly, and following this, moving pictures of the 1948 World Series were shown. The AWS meeting featured a fashion parade showing summer and spring costumes for class, sports, dancing, and graduation, with several students participating as models. Co-chairmen of the AWS assembly were Ruby Johnson and Kay Beatty. s, Ross Attend Far East Problems Discussed At PCFEHE Convention Problems of contemporary Russia, China, and Japan were discussed at the conference held by the Cooperative Endeavor of the Planning Committee on the Far East in Higher Education.. The meeting was held at Central Washington college, Ellensburg, April 28-30. Miss Nora B. Cummins and Dr. Albert Van Aver, WWC faculty members, attended the study sessions. "* Emergence of Soviet political organization and its ideological development was the first subject dealt with. Dr. William B. Ballis, professor of Russian government and politics at the University of, Washington, explained the workings of the current Russian government.' According to Dr. Ballis, who served as assistant naval attache in the American embassy at Moscow during 1945-6, the Russian people are now allowed to participate in the government far more than at any time since the reign of the czars. He said that although there is only one party for which the people can vote, they are encouraged to exercise this right. Every effort is expended in this direction, and voting booths have even been set up on trains for the convenience of travelers. "Progress in Solving Chinese Basic Problems" was the topic for discussion Friday morning. Dr. Alfred Kuo-ling Ho, who spoke on the subject, was well informed on the situation, having lived and studied both in the United States and China, He felt that the present Chinese government, the Kuomintang party, had failed and that a new form was needed. Dr. Ho also spoke on China's international relations. At the same session. Professor Franz Michael, asistant director of the Far Eastern institute at the University of Washington, gave an address in which he told of the present status and prospects of the Kuomintang party. Agriculture, he stated, was the basic problem confronting the Chinese. The Communists have inspired hope among the people (Continued on Page 10) Pageh Education Meeting Dr. Alan Ross, Ann Pearson, Bill Morton, and Gus Pagels, Board of Control members, attended the Evergreen Student Government conference at Central Washington college, Ellensburg, April 29-30. DORM COUNCDL Pagels, ASB president, reported there was one very interesting plan observed which the board hopes to install at Western. They learned that both Central and Eastern colleges have student participation in disciplining actions of students. Each dorm and organized house has its own student dorm council which judges and passes upon violation of rules and conduct. If the misdemeanor is too serious it is passed on to a joint student-faculty committee for action. This board includes the dean of men, the dean of women, two other faculty members, and four students elected by the student body. Pagels stated that both Central and Eastern spend a smaller percentage of their budgets on athletics than Western does. Eastern's will be almost as large as that of WWC, but he pointed out that this amount is divided among eleven different sports. Pagels also reported that the college newspapers at the two other colleges of education are published for less than the Collegian costs the student body here. Pagels learned also at the conference that the governing bodies of both Eastern and Central are made up of representatives from- dorms, or clubs. Western, of all the schools represented, was the only institution at which every student member of the Board of Control is voted upon by the entire student body. WWC HEADS PANEL During the two day ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1949 May 6 - Page 4 ---------- Western's Thinclads Meet Eastern Tomorrow Western's Vikings Took a Split With St. Martin's Baseball Club Tuesday; Winning Opener and Losing Nightcap Western's baseball nine wound up with a split last Tuesday after winning the first game of a double-header 3 to 2. St. Martin's led the way all through the nightcap to rack up a score of 9 to 5. In the first inning of the opener Lee Stout, Western shortstop, batted home Jerry Karnofski to give the Vikings first blood. Cliff Simpson let fly with a double late in the third to bring the score to 2-0. Hal "Mutt" Partlow hit for a single, stole second, and scored on a single by Simpson in the fifth. Russ Nielson, Vik starting pitcher, held the visiting Rangers scoreless until the fourth when they tallied on a walk and a single. Chandler, of the Marts, doubled in the seventh and scored on an Infield .error. The • Rangers were unable to hit after that and pitcher Steve Kuljis, who relieved Nielson at the start of the sixth, fanned the last two Marts up. MARTS BREAK LOOSE „ In the nightcap St. Martin's scored in the second off Tom "Taylor, Vik pitcher. The Rangers cut loose in the fourth to tally four times, after Taylor walked two men and his relief, Dick Patterson, allowed four hits. In the seventh Long, of the Rangers, hit a single and Erwert blasted the ball over the left field fence for the longest blow of the game. It took the Viks until the last of the seventh before they could hit the Ranger pitcher, .Manchewka, hard enough to score. When the Viking nine began rolling^ they chalked up five runs before they could be shut off. Viks Tennis Squad Whips St. Martin's Suffering a single loss out of seven matches, Western's tennis squad thoroughly trounced St. Martin's in racquet competition last Tuesday on Western's home courts.

The scoring went: CWC first with 90 points, WWC second with 48 points, and St. Martin's trailing with 24 points. Western captured three first), with Dave Grocott taking the half mile in 2:05, Bill Shannon cutting his two mile time remarkably to cross first in 10:43.5, and big Jeff Russell chucking the pointed stick 184 feet 5 inches to take the javelin. Wes Peterson gave Central's Drit-tenbras a good race, finishing close behind him in the 440. Winning time was 52.5.

Fresh from the torrid clime of Central, where they dropped their meet last Saturday, the Viks are geared for a swing on their own track. As far as the sprints are concerned it appears as if Eastern will be in line for first in the 100 and 220. That is if Brewer doesn't fall below his :10.3 mark in the century, and :22.2 mark in the 220 from the meet last week with Montana U. In the 440, Teterson should be a natural for a first, considering his showing against Central; Carlton of Eastern placed third against Montana, against the time of :51.9, but just how far is the determining factor. WIN POSSIBLE IN HALF If Grocott times another 2:05 half appearances would seem to show another first for the Blue and White. T. Corpine clocked a 2:06.1 first against Montana, In the mile F. Corpine's 4:38.5 time against Montana seems destined to be the factor which will give Eastern another first. However, Shannon will be in there to give him a good fight. The lows will offer a good fight. Eastern's Carlton was second against Montana against the jtime of :26 flat. In the same meet Hoon took second in the highs against a time of :15.4. . ; If Shannon drops as much off his two mile time this week as he did last week, then the outcome might produce a first for the Viks. However, Berry of Eastern was secoiid against a time of 10:21.0 . . .so? | JEFF MAY HAVE IT TOUGH Big Jeff Russell is going to have some competition from Eastern's Stephans. Against Montana, Ste-phans chucked the javelin 184 feet 5% inches; however, Jeff can te counted upon to come through hi the tight spots, usually, so I would say another five points for Western! If Gayda can clear 12 feet tomor-^ row, which he has come close to doing,1 then he will be good for at least a tie for the number one spot in the pole vault. j In the high jump Whitehill of Eastern will undoubtedly take first if he doesn't go too far below his 5 foot 11% inch jump against Montana. \ Eastern's relay team is a good prospect to win. They took the event from Montana in 3:28.0. "'. This meet tomorrow is going to be a good one, win or lose for the Vlksf. The times above are merely used for comparative purposes arid' do* not mean, and shouldn't be used, for any more than that. \ \ BORNSTEIN SEA FOODS Largest Assortment of Sea Foods in the Northwest CENTER OF HOME MARKET PHONE 882 T-Shirts With College Emblem • STUDENTS CO-SUPERIOR TO THE RESCUE OF THIS WESTERN CO-ED... • 207 Chestnut • 2307 Meridian • 3rd Street in Ferndale ••*%• :vT-^jTC-:arr3a5gg;: ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1949 May 6 - Page 5 ---------- Snjgi; ••••s-r- • ; . . ; • • . . . , Wednesday X OFFICIAL PROGRAM Northwest Blossomtime Festival ..May 11th..

Previous to today's game, Joe Martin, baseball coach, has been using two teams interchangably on the diamond, but after losing several games by so doing, Joe has decided to use only his first team, with minor substitutions. In doing this he hopes to cut down on the game losses of his squad. He gave his reasons for using so many players before as being a desire to give as many players as possible a chance to win letters.

In last week's edition (April 29, 1949), there was an article on page three I n which the debate between Mr. Cheever and Dr. Murray at the last meeting of the Social Science club was reported. I have two complaints to make on the reporting of this debate. First, there is some feeling that the reporting of Mr. Cheever's side of the debate was inadequate. Secondly, if the person who reported on this debate will check in his style book (on Collegian policy), he will find that the first time anyone's name is used in an article, it is prefixed with the word mister or doctor (abbreviated of course). Thereafter, if that person is a member of the faculty, out of due respect the prefix is added each time that person's name is used. Thank you for your consideration. DICK ROBISON, Social Science club. (Editor's Note: The Collegian attempts to be objective in all straight news not under a by-line. It does not feel that the article was biased to favor either speaker, but apologizes if any feelings were trampled. Dick Robison's second point is slightly erroneous. The style book states, "Never use Mr. with the man's name when first mentioned. Use his first name and initials. The second time use with or without title. The title 'Dr.' is used every time mentioned, and the title *Mr.' usually out of courtesy to faculty v members, but not always." We apologize to Mr. Cheever for bur Jack of courtesy, but point out to Robison that it was not a direct : breach of policy. o • HOTEL LOBBY HOBBY i No muscle required, No strain on the bean; fNitwits' delight— The pinball machine. ; The ball zig-zags, Lighted numbers keep score on : This game of machine, Luck, and a month.

Why, I can hardly sleep at night for worrying about what horrible things may happen to the poor dears. Phlugg: But, Miss Shmowers, the girls have .to be in at ten-thirty on week nights now. I'm afraid if we cut it down any more there would be open rebellion. Miss Shmowers: Ten-thirty indeed! If I :had my way . . .

Miss Shmowers: Now as I was saying, Dr. Phlugg, I think that 1 a. m. is entirely too late for innocent young college girls to be out at night. I believe that an 11 p. m. deadline would be much more satisfactory. (Miss Shmow-er's niece, Lois, age 15, enters.) Lois: Hey, Aunt Prudie, don't be surprised if I'm not in my bed tomorrow morning.

Harry Appleton, who is leaving, has been editor for the past five quarters, starting the spring quarter of 1924.

Tripple of Seattle, in company with D. F. Trunkey, state representative . from Bellingham, visited the Normal School, Wednesday to survey the needs of the institution. Pres. C. H. Fisher showed them around the buildings and after quite a thorough inspection had been made the committee reported that they had observed that among the schools greatest needs are a library and a gymnasium, and that these should be provided as soon as possible. Also they observed that the school is too crowded. The legislators said that they are in: terested in a building program for state institutions in need of more room and they will have something to say when the legislature sits again. The committee lunched at Edens Hall. The Normal will also be inspected during the early part of the summer by Governor Roland H., Hartley, who is making a survey of EastenrvVashington schools at' present. Mrs. Maude Sweetman, another member of the King County delegation in the house of representatives and a member of the house educational committee, arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon to also examine the needs of the school, accompanied by Mr. Trunkey. She was very favorably impressed with the present conditions and the future nee/ls. ANNOUNCEMENT The Normalstad picnic which was planned for Saturday, June 6th, has been called off as it was found it would con-flick with the Alumni Banquet. Since there have/ already f been two picnics, ,; one'iheday of the^ Chuckanut gt;Marathpn and!1 Another oh the Sneak .Day, it was c though ;;; of ^the •; school;ftp; making the banquet ;a |,"; lt;»jirpte^^ Equally as entertaining ana good as the previous Normal Drama~Club plays, "The Potters" is ready for the presentation on Monday and Tuesday' of next week. In Heywood Broun's criticism of it, he says: "I think that McEvoy (the author) is a realist. I think that he is the sort of stout-hearted truth-teller that American dramatic literature has languished for the want of, already much too long. "I have called McEvoy a realist partly because he does not try to pretend that the life of the Potters is any better than it is, but more because he seems to me to be so truthful in this matter of life's saving grace. He does not try to foist on us any conviction that anything can come along and make Mr. Potter's life actually better. What he does say is that about once in so often Mr. Potter will be attacked by a sort of divine lunacy, and will go out and buy an oil well, or throw some other grotesque anchor to windward, and will be revived by it, whether it is successful or not. He says further that Mr. Potter cannot help doing this. Miles are Measured. "Once upon a time, man's duty to the race was fairly measured by the amount he could add to the total of man's usable environment. It had to be measured in miles. Now the miles are measured and the maps are made. But the explorers cannot stop. There are ourselves still to be understood. McEvoy has pried into us. He has brought back one authentic story. His place is waiting for his next return." (sto,moreulyby....l Baccalaureate Services for the June graduates will be held in v the Normal Auditorium,, Sunday, June 7, at 3 P. M.

At the beginning of the day the children are having their lunch on Sehome hill. Activities on the campus will start at 1:30 o'clock with a posture parade. The grades from the second up to the. eighth will take part in this parade. Five judges have been chosen to decide which grade will receive first place in the posture parade. The points to be judged upon in this are whether the children march with their heads and chests up, expresing an ease of movement in marching showing also that they can carry themselves in an erect, mature position. Each Grade Entertains. At the close of the parade, the children will sit on the grass and each grade in turn will present either folk dances, singing games or stunts for the entertainment of the other grades. This is selected from the work they do the year round. For the conclusion of the program, the youngsters will scatter to their various groups about .the^campus, where they will play and take part in games suitable for their age. gt; It is- through the efforts of Miss Rich, Miss Frank, MhisSkailey arid Mr. Davis that this Play^ Day has beenarranged. : Student helpers7 will assist in the pro- ^gram.'v.';?..;r.: ; ,v;i^'-/.:\-•:•;;:'•.."',:••:';:}. i:-^v\V;- Tomorrow evening the Alumni association of the Normal will have its business meeting and banquet for this year's graduates.

Second only in point of service to Mrs. Hussey is the work of the Associate and Make-up Editors, Mary Hibner and Velta Learning, and the Editorial Council. Eeeeiving no pay of any sort save the 3oy of improving the paper these students have labored diligently and to some purpose., And would it be out of place here to suggest that pins, fobs, or some other token of appreciation for service rendered be given hereafter to those members who have been on the Council long enough to have their worth attested? Some of you have not been slow to tell me what you think an editor should or shouldn't do. Now let me give mv ideal of student reaction to the school paper. An absolutely merciless criticism would be paramount. Which does not mean, that physical violence should be threatened for misspelling a name (yes,- it really has happened). It simply means that you should not he afraid to point out what you think is wrong with the paper, at any time. Nor should you be at all bac
