The Western Front January 26,1990 Volume 82, Number 4 Western Washington University pleaserecycle Demonstrators cleanse flags in protest of war By Linda Dahlstrom staff reporter "No morebombs, no more war, U.S. out of El Salvador," chanted protesters, hoping to send a message toCongress by washing flags and chaining themselves to the doors of the Federal Building as Congressreconvened on Tuesday morning. "We're here to tell them it's time for a change. Let's take this moneybuying death in Central America and use it to support life," said Carol Dunavin. "Our best hopes andbrightest dreams lie dead with bullets paid for by U.S. taxes." The United States provides $1.5 milliondollars of aid each day, enabling the government of El Salvador to wage a 10-year civil war in which70,000 to 74,000 civilians have been killed and 7,000 disappeared, according to El Rescate HumanRights Department in Los Angeles. Protesters washed 11 flags and hung them on a clothesline to dry,symbolizing the need for the U.S. to cleanse itself of the inhumanity and injustice it financially supportsin Central American countries. "Our flag can no longer be flown with dignity. It is stained deeply andbloodied with the blood of 72,000 Salvadorans," Dunavin said. "We wash the flag as a vision that policies will change and we will no longer be involved in a dirty war." Shirley Osterhaus, of the Shalom Center,said the American flag is a symbol of oppression and exploitation for many people in CentralAmerica, not of passion and freedom. "The U.S. government is heavily invested in a war against the poor. (U.S. aid supports) drug trafficking, rigging elections and a disinformation campaign," she said. "Acountry that exports oppression will one day release oppression against itself," Osterhaus said. After the flag washing, some of the protesters chained themselves to the doors of the Federal Building. Policearrested eight people in an attempt to clear one of the side doors, and cut the chains off of all theprotesters, who then sat or stood in front of the doors. Darcy Utterback, Peace Resource CenterCoordinator, said one of the protest's goals was See Protest on page 2 David RubertTThe Western Front Patricia Sage was one of eight protesters arrested during a demostration calling for the end to U.S.funded death squads in Central America. Court case steals attention of flag-wash The protest on Tuesday happened to coincide with jury selection for the Earl Shriner case â€” the man charged with mutilatinga Tacoma boy. The organizers of the protest did not know jury selection for the Shriner case would betaking place on the day of the protest. "None of the organizers knew about it," said Steve Hill, one of theorganizers of the demonstration. "I didn't know about it until I saw the car pull up and him (Shriner) getout. They (police) decided the day before to move (the case) to the Federal Building. They knew we werehaving the protest, they could've notified us ahead of "time to coordinate it," Hill said. "This confusionis now taking attention away from the main issue of El Salvador and Central America." Osterhausadded emphatically "we had absolutely no idea (that Shriner would be there). Our action was a very clearstatement about U.S. involvement in dirty wars." Utterback said the protest obviously had nothing to dowith the Shriner case. Nancy Welch and Lucy Colvin blocked one of the entrances to the Federal Building during the Jan. 23 protest against U.S. policies in Central America. Films cause controversy By VickiStevens staff reporter Heavy breathing is associated with a lot of things, and this time a few people arefairly hot and bothered about a March film series entitled Heavy Breathing Week. The AssociatedStudents Sexual Minorities Center and the AS Women's Center are opposed to several aspects of Heavy Breathing Week. Topher Jerome, coordinator of the Sexual Minority Center, said his office has a problem primarily with the film to be shown March 15, entitled "The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant." Jeromehasn't seen the film, but he said the description on the poster advertising the film is detrimental to thecenter's goal of breaking stereotypes about homosexuals. The film description reads, "Fassbinder's (the director) most controversial work, the story deals with the shifting power relationship among threelesbians: A successful fashion designer, her slave girl and a sultry model who makes the master a slave. Accompanied with the music of Verdi and the Platters, these women act out a melodrama ofsadomasochistic passion." He said he doesn't know for sure if the film is negative toward lesbians, but,just from the film description, he says sadomasochism is being related to lesbians. Jerome said thisdescription reinforces negative attitudes people have about homosexuality. He said he supportspeople's right to see films of this nature, but it is a poor representation of lesbian relationships. "Weneed to focus on the fact there are very caring, loving, nurturing same-sex couples," he said. ChrisNinaud, co-coordinator of the AS Cross-Cul-tural Center, chose the international films for campus films,including the film Jerome is worried about. Ninaud defended his decision to show the film and welcomesdiscussion of the film. "I believe this film deals with a controversial subject," he said. "It deals withdomination in relationships, which everyone should learn something about. "I would be worried if therewasn't controversy about it," Ninaud said.

Under Guatemala's U.S. supported government over 150 death squad assassinations amonth. According to the International Red Cross, over 2,000 Panamanian civilians were killed in theU.S. invasion of Panama. Figures recently released by Salvadoran Security Forces show, in 1989alone, 60,446 people were captured. One fourth of the Salvadoran population has been displaced orare refugees, said El Rescate Human Rights Department. The United States actions against Nicaraguaand the funding of the Contras have been denounced as violations of international law by the UnitedNations, the World Court and the Organization of American States, according to a pamphlet publishedby the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, The Pledge of Resistance and Western'sPeace Resource Center. Those entering the Federal Building had to step on or over protesters to getpast; David Mortenson's leg was apparently deliberately stepped on by a heavy man as he entered forjury selection. Mortenson said the pain he felt being stepped on was insignificant in comparison to thesuffering in Central America. "There are human beings being killed and there's no point in it," he said."This Federal Building and our government supports it." The Bellingham protest was one of manyhappening across the nation as Congress reconvened. The crowd of protesters was a mixed group drawn together for a common cause. Among them were high school and college students, families with smallchildren, professors, laborers and the very young and old, Amanda Tremblay, 10, was at the protestwith her mother, Swan Eagle. Her mother was one of those blocking the doors to the Federal Buildingand prepared to be arrested. "I think it's really good what she's doing,"Tremblay said. "She's trying tosave people (in Central America). There are a lot of problems going on. You can't just ignore it." Oneof those arrested, Western senior Johnny Wilson, a political science major, said he sees the protestas a good way to draw attention to and make people think about those in Central America. "If I wasdoing the same thing in El Salvador, I probably wouldn't have even seen a police car. I could've been justshot at and killed. If I were arrested, chances are I'd be in a holding cell being tortured rather thansinging 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen.'" Those arrested were: Patricia Sage, Steve Powers, ErinMarden, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Nancy Welch, Johnny Wilson and Judt Shrode. A country that exports oppression will one day release oppression against itself. Tremblay was also with her mother when shewas arrested for blocking the street in November's protest U.S.. policy in El Salvador. "It seemed scary . . . you hear about people being disappeared in El Salvador. When she got arrested, I didn't know if she'd come back," Tremblay said. Roger Grahn said he was protesting because about $3,000 dollars of his money goes to taxes used each year for buying guns that the Salvadoran government uses against its people. "My tax dollars support that. I can't deal with it," Grahn said. Jo Taber pointed out that thecurrent situation with the U.S. supporting a civil war in El Salvador is reminiscent of Vietnam. "(Thedifference) in El Salvador and Vietnam is now we don't send soldiers, we pay the government to kill theirown people. Our tax dollars murder children, babies and grandparents," Jo Taber said. "The people inCentral America are doing everything they can. It's up to the people in the U.S. to do everything wecan to stop U.S. intervention. The people of Central America are really counting on us for that," LisaPetkc said. Breathe Continued from page 1 Blake said the description of the Fassbinder filmperpetuates the stereotype of homosexuality as weird and perverse. "What about the people who justread the film description and don't see the play?" she asked. "It just plays into stereotypes." If thepurpose of the film was to show dominance in relationships, a heterosexual couple would have been abetter teaching tool because it would cause less damage to the image of homosexuals, Blake said.Blake also is opposed to the timing of Heavy Breathing Week because the films will be shown the weekbefore finals. She says there won't be enough time for adequate campus discussion of the subject matter because the films will be forgotten during spring break. She said in order for the films to beeducational, they should be shown earlier in the quarter to allow for discussion. Blake also questionedwhether or not it is necessary to show pornography.

Many members of the band are students or graduates of Western, most of whom beganin Western's music department. Many Dread regulars showed support for the band during their largestand best-liked performance at Bumbershoot 1989. "It was the biggest gig we played where we saw somany Bellingham regulars," Hendow said. As a result of performing at Bumbershoot, the bands firstsingle "Military Man" appeared on the compilation CD "Best of the Northwest," which also includessongs from various blues and jazz artists and the Defenders. "In the last year and a half, we've gottenso popular, we've become Bellingham's little darling," Hendow said. "It's really a nice thing for us ...but I don't know if any of us aspire to mega-super stardom." However, Hendow did not question theband's potential for becoming a college band like the Crazy 8's, touring on school circuits. The Dread's first album, "One Look at You," has helped to finance and produce its new single and upcomingalbum, which is due out in the late spring of this year. "It's a big money pit. Beer gets dumped on yourfavorite guitar or on your amp, stuff gets broken, you need money for transportation. You have to eat andyou have to sleep somewhere," Hendow said. "We end up making the same amount of money as wespend trying to make new recordings," he said. Long, grueling practices, performing feverishly ill, orplaying with a sprained finger are only a few of the hardships the band has had to face. "It's a lot of workto rehearse all week long and play for five hours straight, whether you want to or not," Turpin said."Sometimes you just don't want to play." Despite difficult playing conditions, the underlying factorswhich have kept the band together for so long are the strong and constant friendship between themembers and their love of music. "It's kind of like having an extended family," Hendow said. "I spendmore time with the band than I ever spent with a girlfriend or a job or on my own homework. It's become a big commitment of time, but it's still fun." Members of The Almighty Dread are trumpet player,percussionist and backing vocals Dave Cole, drummer Dalton Davis, bass player and backing vocalsGary Haden, trombone player and percussionist Phil Helms, guitarist and backing vocals Hendow, sax and flute player Phil Nakano, lead vocalist Andy Oliver and key-board player Turpin. The Almighty Dread will be performing Jan. 23 and 24 at the Backstage Tavern and at Parkers in Seattle. The Dread will also open for british reggae band, Linton Knesie Johnson, March 30 at the Commodore Ballroom inVancouver, B.C..

The current exhibit is no exception. The show, called The Fifth Floor, is a collaboration ofnine different artists using different mediums. "I really like to see group art like this," gallery spectatorTheresa Wingert said. "This show has special meaning to me because I saw it all before it wasdisplayed." Two items in the exhibit standout. The first, a large blue object called "A remodeling of thebridal suite," is displayed against the south wall. Two blue lights illuminate the object giving the wholepiece an eerie fluorescent shine. It portrays a ladder with an oar leaning against it and a horse jumpingover the bottom rung. The other portion consists of a large building with different objects surrounding it. The second one in the blue series is the exhibit most people come to see. It is called "The Angel andthe Hartebeast." A small child with horns sprouting from its eyes is portrayed hanging from a cross.Behind the child is some vile monster called the Hartebeast. "This is bizarre," one observer said. Mypersonal favorite exhibits were the steel sculptures by Bill Baber. He uses steel as his medium to sculpt scary or funny configurations. The first is called "We're All Held Hostage." It contains frighteninglooking steel pieces with spikes on top with a twisted inter-looping configuration in the shape of a mazein the middle. The second is a funny, unorganized home called "Our Home Is Not In Order." Inside thefeatured large, house structure is a montage of objects jumbled togetherin no apparent order orreason. While I don't know Baber's intended meaning in this piece, it could be representative ofunorganized, yet fun family life. His final sculpture is represented in the middle of the gallery. Theimpressive-looking chest armor called "Whale Guard: Armor for a Modern Hero," looks like it came rightout of ihe time of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. All of Baber's pieces represent a clear portrayal of the way the world is: violent, harsh and mean, yet happy, warm and family oriented. Thepaintings included in the â€¢ exhibition were mostly pastel-colored oils by Paul Young, Lucinda H.Green and others. Though the comment book in the gallery shows mostly positive feedback, a wholerange of opinions is represented. Many comments commended the exhibit's fantastic range andcreativity, while one person went so far as to compare it with the exhibit to the occult. The exhibit willrun until Feb. 2.

Though some of the reports may seem incredible, others seem pretty boring, butall are true as they were relayed to us. We didn't make any of this shit up. Wednesday Jan. 17 Onecaller reported a possible Mortimer sighting at Stewart Anderson's Square Cow Fun Bar. The alleged Mort was wearing a green, red and blue Hawaiian shirt and dancing. We asked if he was a good dancer. "I don't know," answered the informant."He was just...out there. I think he was bummiri' cigarettes too." Friday, Jan. 19 A man driving by a house on Toledo Street said he saw a Mortimer drive his Saab 900into the garage. As Mortimer closed the garage door, the man said he was able to see the president's as he left the Saab.. Friday, Jan. 20 We received a letter from a man who said he saw two-inch tallcreature who introduced himself as "Ken." He said the life-form was wearing a non-descrip blue suit.The man stated he didn't know why Ken was on his bed, but believed it had something to do with amessage scrawled across his bathroom wall thatread,"Graffiti is a form of property defacement!" Sunday, Jan. 21 Mortimer was spotted in the First Presbyterian church. The man reporting the sightingsaid,"Mortimer and his wife came in and sat down and left when the service was overâ€” just like normalfolk." Tuesday, Jan. 23 We received three Mortimer sightings from people who said he was at thewomen's basketball game. He was said to be wearing a brown suit and was accompanied by a womanthe caller thought was Mortimer's wife One observer said he was making Arsenic^ Hall, "Whoops," yell.Post Script Kurt and I (and especially, we guess, Ken) image readers are growing weary of this MortReport business. So, hey, bribe us and we'll stop. We don' t have much money and this job doesn'tpay squat, so a couple of cases of good imported beer will probably keep us quiet for awhile. Thinkabout it.

Shortly after the Supreme Court said it was a right guaranteed to U.S. citizens, conservativepoliticians pushed a law through Congress making it illegal to burn the American flag. Apparently freedom only extends so far in America. Upper-class conservative mothers would like to put labels on recordsthey feel are too graphic for teens. Apparently parents and their children are lacking in the ability to make thoughtful decisions on their own. Right-wing religious fanatics picketed "The Last Temptation of Christ,"a movie which dared to portray the life of Christ in a manner contrary to their beliefs. Apparently theybelieve it too dangerous for people to entertain doubt about Jesus' lack of a sex-drive. Obviously they feelthe viewer is unable to say, "It's only a movie," if he or she is unhappy with the movie's ideas. Most of thefanatics didn't even see the movie in question. It only goes to show that the same silly conflicts willsurface perpetually. In March, Western's Heavy Breathing Week will feature three soft-porn movies. TheAS Sexual Minorities Center Coordinator Topher Jerome said the description of one of the films isdetrimental to the center's goal of breaking stereotypes about homosexuals. Jerome said if the purposeof the film was to show dominance in a relationships, a heterosexual couple would be a better teaching tool because it would cause less damage to the image of homosexuals. We have a couple of problemswith Jerome's line of thinking. First, he hasn't even seen the film. This is the kind of misdirected effortwhich really impairs a free society. Hunters have a motto Jerome should consider: "Be sure of yourtarget." No matter how valid his arguments, Jerome's case is greatly weakened by his admittedignorance. Second, and just as important, we cannot walk on eggshells around issues concerning sexual minorities. While acceptance of gay and lesbian couples is something society should work towards, itisn't going to happen if we hide in a closet. People that want to censor films, books, records and burningthe flag don't think the masses are intelligent enough to make independent decisions and distinctions.They think people should be spoon-fed the information they receive. The desire for censorship is amanifestation of prejudices within ourselves â€” the same sort of prejudices we try to combat. TimothyK.

Americans, particularly kids, have good reason to be disappointed withtheir idols. What a letdown when a baseball legend gambles on his team. What a joke when the winner of a beauty pageant shows up in a back issue of Playboy. And what a moral blow to our nation when afrontiersman in minority leadership goes up in a cloud of narcotics. Hey big shots! This just isn't cool.So, when the chips are down and the celebrities are too, where do we turn for our role models? What kind of hero is left? I think I found some answers in the Bellingham International Airport this winter.Standing in baggage claims, nearly comatose with post-flight nausea, I gained consciousness enough tonote a group of well-dressed, rather tall men waiting nearby. Always on the look-out for suchcharacteristics, I watched them quietly mill around with other adults and among themselves. Two ofthem were playing a game with a little boy who obviously adored them. It finally occurred to me that theywere 'shooting hoop,' as they should be, since they were members of the Western men's basketball team returning from a winter break game. I continued watching the team and heard them joke with an airportattendant who handled our bags. The attendant knew each of these local heroes by name. Perhaps hehad memorized their statistics. Then I watched them play with the boy again, lifting him up to' dunk' andgiving him the necessary low version of a 'high five.' It may seem dweebish, but I was in awe. It was thesame feeling I experienced when an Associated Students board member helped me tack up posters,when a member of the women's volleyball team held open a door for just a second longer to let mepass or when I saw the professor of my sociology class pick up a napkin off the coffee shop floor. Thesewere local/campus 'important people' standing near me, participating in daily rites with the samecourtesy and method of any other fool. Definitely cool. The basketball players were personalities. Theyhad the means to screw up and, if they did so, the influence to create havoc. Just like the professor, thevolleyball player and lots of others. Yet they refused to abuse this. Recognizing their responsibility ascelebrities, they set an example. Recognizing their responsibility as people, they just plain behaved.There are real heroes left in the world. We know them because they do the right thing. Castration will notstop sexual violence Attitudes need castration not bodies M Julie Fancey staff reporter any men aregrabbing then-groins in sympathy over current legislation that calls for castration of sex offenders.This legislation and the outrage it stirs is off-target. They've missed the point. The so-called quick fix ofcastration offers no solution to sexual violence. Castration means the removal of the testicles only, notthe penis. This procedure may decrease sexual desire, but it guarantees nothing. It does not ensureimpotency or the inability to maintain an erection. This surgical procedure addresses the issue from asexual standpoint. Locking onto castration as a weapon against rape makes the assumption that rape isa crime of passion. Not so. It is a crime of violence. We are dealing with an issue of power, not a sexualevent. The sexual act is not what satisfies a rapist, it is the act of domination and control over anotherperson. What we need to do is get back on track about what leads to sexual violence. We need tocastrate attitudes that create an environment which excuses sexual violence against women. There isa feeling that these attitudes exist in someone else's backyard, not ours. It is in our backyard. In thepast month I have heard these comments from male students on campus: One student was constantlysaying: If a fat and ugly woman is being raped, she might as well lie back and enjoy it because it willprobably be her only chance of getting laid. Another student was joking about a woman he saw. Heencouraged his friend by saying: Rape her. She wants to be raped. These attitudes set up women forviolence. Rape is not a joke: Rape is not sex. Rape is violence. Nobody wants to be raped and nobody is lucky when they're raped. When a man is raped, do other men think it is a joke? Do they consider itsex? Do they consider the victim as being lucky or asking for it? Why is it different if the victim is awoman? Why should our attitudes about women end up harming them? Most women don't viewthemselves as weak, childish, sexual objects or property. Why should men view women in such anegative way? It's time to stop thinking that surgically removing an organ would solve sexual violence. It'stime to castrate the root of the problem â€” our attitudes. ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 26 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, January 26,1990 The Western Front 7 Â«** o^ WKM^^ VB'3 Letters * 300 words or less * mustbe typed, double space must include name, address and phone number for verification * address andphone numbers will not be printed 8 Buses to Campus each hour!

I understand that your news staff is considered to be the best college staff in the Pacific Northwest. Yet when I see articles with repeated use of offensive language, I must reservemy opinion about your greatness. The writers' frequent use of obscenities saddens me. When swearwords creep into your articles with regularity, everyone becomes desensitized to such language.Certainly, we all know these words. We learned them in the playground when we were in first grade.With maturity, one learns appropriate use of such language. As writers, you should be challenged toseek the precise word to fit the circumstances. As college students, you have the opportunity toexpand your vocabulary instead of limiting yourselves to the same old phrases. The gratuitous use ofvulgar terms does disservice to everyone. Too soon, such words become trite and ineffective. Over thepast several months, there have been hints regarding various persons' parentage, overt mention ofbodily functions, coarse references to birth control devices and altogether too much suggestivelanguage. One writer, attempting to describe a bodily function, used a totally incorrect term. Whetherthe malapropism was intentional, the reader will never know. The English language is far too rich anddescriptive to allow yourselves to be tied to a few well-worn adjectives. Why use such base languageto question the legitimacy of a person, when "spurious mountebank" will send the subject of yourwrath scurrying to the dictionary to find out what he or she is? Our teachers have taught us to speak toour audience on its own level. Surely it is our duty to raise their level of understanding, not crawling intothe playpen with them. We're not fools, we're all eager to learn â€” even the humblest of us.FWWÂ»â€”^wwmwwwwwwww'fWf^W"!â„¢^^ HWMffiRWWSWW!^^ We put faith in our reporters to uplift us even as they communicate. Robert Johnson Sophomore, Journalism Victimizers are also victims ofsociety Editor: Greetings. Oh yes indeed, our society is deeply sick. Repressive laws and a powerstructure made up largely of tyrannical, selfish, bigoted, unhealthy drunks and a commercial sectorhell-bent on terrorizing the people, dementing the children, dividing us into shallow minded castes andperpetuating and refining all of the traditional evil such as greed, murder, torture, bigotry, war andselfish exploitation of our planet and each other has manufactured monsters willing to commit massmurder, batter and rape adults and even children. Historically, its only more refined, not new. However, never before has the entire planet been contaminated. Its now pandemic. Are we, therefore, losing thewar due to the evidence of endless expansion of the evil? No, but we are approaching quickly thedecisive moment of truth. Those who thus victimize, are also victims. So long as we continue to try anddeal with the problems by punishing the individuals and forgetting the social mechanisms thatproduce them, we will fail and finally be overwhelmed. These creatures are direct products of thelawful, normal functions of our society. Society, the system, is responsible for the evil of its parts. Blind,cowardly, so-called government representatives want to castrate sexual offenders. Perhaps thesecreatures also condone amputation of the limbs of thieves, removal of the tongues of those who speakout against them, death camps for the homeless, enslavement of the poor, four and quartering in townsquares of blind, cowardly, so-called government representatives?

PERSONALS Sweetie- I LOVE YOU!! -Bunny Tell your Bunny or your Sweetieyou love them in the February 13 edition of The Western Front! ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 26 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front Sports Friday, January 26,1990 Women unstoppable By Micheal Flynn staffreporter The women's basketball team will attempt to continue their domination over opposing teams ina pair of important home games this weekend. Tonight the vistors are the second place Falcons ofSeattle Pacific University. SPU, 10-3 overall and 8-2 district, posted a 24-6 record last season andreached the district semifinals as well. Guard Jan Bolton, who leads the Falcons, is third in the districtwith a 19.8 scoring average. Becky Wiersma, the other half of the back court duo, leads the district inassists with a 6.5 average. Earlier in the season, when the two teams met in Seattle, Western came outon top 61-56. The Vikings hold a series edge of 32-2. Things won't get much easier for the Vikings asthey host the University of Puget Sound Loggers Saturday night. UPS is led by 5-foot-6 guard AnniePettigrew. She averages 16.3 points, 6.1 assists and 3.5 steals per game. The Vikings have won the last three meetings with UPS. The Vikings overcame a strong first half by a tough Simon Fraser team to beat SFU 88-75 Tuesday night in front of a record crowd of 1,465. The victory, the 24th in a row at CarverGym, moved the Vikings to 11-0 district, two games ahead of second place SFU. The Vikings are now18-1 into" the season. For much of the first half, the SFU Clan looked as if they would put a halt to theViking winning streak. Using a suffocating zone defense, the Clan stifled the Vikings inside and frustrated them into a number of early turnovers. On offense, SFU used quick, precision passing and deadlyoutside shooting to open up the Viking zone for wide-open shots. They also controlled the boards. WhenSFU center Michelle Hendry hit one of her two free-throws with 6:32 remaining, the Vikings foundthemselves down by nine points, 25-16. That was enough for the Vikings. They found their offense, madethe necessary changes on defense and pulled themselves back into the game. "We were just kind ofstanding around, letting them beat up on us," junior guard Erica Porter said. "Then we started figuring out what was going on and picked up the intensity," she said. The Vikings held SFU scoreless for the nextthree minutes while they whittled away at the lead. Western guard Kerri Browitt hit a 15-foot jumper from the right side. After a three-second violation on the Clan, Browitt hit an identical shot from the other sideof the floor. When center Cim Hanson hit a lay-in with just over a minute to go, SFU was in the lead byonly one point. Hanson hit a pair of free-throws with 2:51 left in the half to give Western a 28-27 lead. Alead they never relinquished. They went to the locker room leading 35-31. In the second half SFU hungtough, continuing to play tight defense and work the ball inside. Hendry scored 16 of her 25 game-leading points in the second half. -^ Hendry's inside strength and the outside shooting of guard Andrea Schnider kept the Clan in the game. But Western, led by Hanson's consistent inside play and a healthy balanceof outside shooting, was too much for the visitors. The game signaled the women's improving characteras the district playoffs draw nearer. But no hints of upcoming greatness satisfied the hope for successlike the brief play of forward Chris Garrison. Garrison, a 6-foot 2-inch sophomore who has been out with aknee injury for over a month, played for a mere three minutes. She dominated those three minutes. Noneof SFU's towering frontline could stop Garrison as she scored six straight points for Western beforeshe left the game. Garrison said it felt good to be back playing. "The knee felt pretty good tonight," shesaid. "I'm going through therapy right now and I should be fine for districts. It felt good to play." Twoweeks ago Western coach Lynda Goodrich reached the significant milestone of 400 career victories.Tuesday night Hanson reached one of her own. . When she hit a lay-in just over three minutes into thesecond half, Hanson became the eighth player in Western's history to score 1,000 career points.Though the game remained tight through the beginning of the second half, the comeback of the Vikings towards the end of the first half seemed to break SFU's confidence. The momentum of the run propelledthe Vikings to victory. Porter attributed the first half momentum shift to a switch in defensive scheme."Once we changed from a zone to a man we got going," she said. Hanson said she felt another key inthe Vikings late-first half run was a mental adjustment. "We weren't blocking out and we weren't playingstrong defense. She (Goodrich) told us to get in there and work harder on the boards," Hanson said. Shewas referring to a Western timeout just before the start of the first half run that gave the Vikings the lead. Western was led by Hanson and Browitt who had 20 points a piece. Forward Alayna Keppler chipped in16 points. The game was rather rough. A lot of pushing and elbow swinging took place by both teams atboth ends of the floor. "In games between the top teams, they (the referees) kind of let you play more,"Porter said. The blood on her jersey, from her elbow to her nose, was testimony to the physical play ofthe game. As the Vikings close in on the homecourt win record, perhaps a dismayed SFU fan was rightwhen he told a friend, "It figures. Nobody beats Western on their home court." The Harlem Globetrotterswill perform their eye-cctching basketball techniques at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 14 in Carver Gym. Tickets are$ 12 for general admission.

There will be no charge to see and hear the concert, but a silver offering will be taken to help out the biennial scholarship given by the club. Since the firsthomecoming concert in 1934 over $4000 has Virginia Haskins Sings In Auditorium Tuesday ByHELEN KNUDSEN On July 21 at 8 p. m., WWO students will be privileged to attend the performance ofMiss Virginia Haskins, coloratura, who has been dubbed one of the most versatile stars of today's musical world. This versatility of the petite Miss Haskins was borne out by her appearance in "Carousel" kinging"If I Loved You" concurrently with her role as Zerliha in 'Don Giovanni." * After studying three years underthe tutelage of Bernard Ferguson in St. Louis, she went to Italy with the famed opera star, Rosa Raisa,where she made her professional singing debut as Gilda in "Rigo-letto." She afterwards made herAmerican debut in Chicago and was signed for Mutual Network's "Chicago Theatre of the Air" on whichshe still appears. Her- program here in the college VIRGINIA HASKINS auditorium will include folk songs from various countries, several selections from the modern operas of G. C. Menotti, and selectedpieces ifrom Victor Herbert, Bellini, and F. Poulenc. It is difficult to realize th|at accomplished andpoised artists also have their "unpoised" moments. Such was the time when, keeping itrue to the oldadage about the *show going on, she kept on with the open-air broadcast of "A Midsummer Night'sDream" throughout a rushing downpour and was drenched to the skin long before the final scene. Butperhaps the event that sticks most closely to her mind as "one to remember," was the night of theopening of Prokofieffs "Love of Three Oranges" in New York, when the zipper of her costume sprung andfor a moment she thought she would have to sing "au naturelle." ["Luckily," she laughs, "I was hiddenbehind a prop rock near an exit and a stage hand managed to smuggle a safety pin to me." There will be no edition of the Collegian next week because of tests and the end of first term. The Collegian will beback in the stands on July 31 to give you entertainment and enjoyment.

FORE! "Fore!"yelled Glen Glibb as he sized up the fairway in front of him. 1. "Better be careful," cautioned his partner. "Those people aren?t, out of range yet." There was a resounding crack as Glen drove, and the ball shotout low and hard along the right side of the fairway. As the players watched, admiring the fine shot, theball began to curve to the left, hooking toward the men and women in the fairway. "Fore," yelled Glenfrantically, and one of the women moved desperately to one side, ducking her head. The ball struckher arm. WARNING NECESSARY Glen was at fault. The players were obviously in a danger zone, andthe mere shouted warning was not sufficient to protect them, especially since their backs were toGlen, and they were proceeding ahead of him in a place where, under the rules of the game, they hada right to be. The player must reasonably foresee the likelihood of a "hook" or a "slice" causing injuryto others, and use care necessary to prevent such injury. On a golf course, remember, use ordinarycare to see that others are protected. If they are in a danger zone, be sure they know when you aregoing to drive. Never deliberately drive into the people ahead of you. more johannesen (Continued onPage 2) that year for the first time in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Last year he returned toHolland to record five concert! with various orchestras for Concert Hall recordings. His solo albumsinclude works of Schumann, Schubert, Faure, Poulenc, Beethoven, Greig, and the complete work ofChopin. Johannesen's first South American tour last summer was an un-qualfiied triumph as he hasbeen engaged for a return tour in 1954. Summer engagements at leading stadium concerts, including the Hollywood Bowl, round out his touring calendar and he is the only young pianist to be heard regularlyon the Telephone Hour. This radio program, also NBC's Standard Hour from the Pacific Coast andABC's popular Piano Playhouse, have brought Johannesen's exciting artistry into the homes ofmillions of listeners. Some of his own compositions were heard on a recent broadcast of PianoPlayhouse and many of his songs are played in leading music halls.

Students Satisfied With Two Terms A week 'agoWednesday a poll was taken by the registrar's office on the summer calendar and if the students thought it met their individual needs or not. Below is a note from Mr. Ferris' office indicating just how the poll went. The student opinion poll showed over whelming sentiment in favor of the present calendar. Only 33 indicated dissatisfaction with the present arrangements out of over 400 replies received. The poll wastaken in the 11 o'clock classes. Although opportunity was given for students not enrolled in eleveno'clock classes to secure questionnaires in the registrar's office, none were so distributed. Theapparent conclusion is that the present calendar meets the needs of those now attending summersession to a great extent. Mystery in Ploy Based on Murder "Trifles" will be presented nextWednesday, July 22, in the college auditorium at 7:30 p. m. This is the final day of the first term and willgive you a chance to relax and enjoy yourself in this one act play. The play is a character sketch oftwo individuals, neither of whom appear in the play. It evolves around the question, "Did the woman killher husbandâ€”and if so, why?" The people in the play visit the farmhouse where this man has beenfound strangled with a rope. The action takes place in the farm house and gives you a good answer to the question of the death.

The motion failed to pass on the basis that it would cut any difference in earned awards nowin force. Kilpsun committee presented its recommendations for photography contracts. The Boardaccepted the recommendation for the contract for 1953-54 to go to Bradbury Studio for the followingreasons: (1) both contracts were similar in most' respects; (2) students would only have to pay $2.50per sitting at Bradbury's rather than $3.00 at the other place; (3) the other company desired freeadvertising in the Collegian under terms of the contract; (4) students may reorder last year's picturesat Bradbury's without paying the entire setting fee over again; (5) a source of income for the Klip-sunwould be through reorders. The Board further recommended that next year's editor* Arlene Mc- Kinney,be asked not to use cuts over again in the year book, and that faculty who have not had their picturesretaken within the last five years should do so this year or their's will not be included in the Klipsun.

All too often, college is an escape from the cold cruel world where one has to support oneself. It's easy to let your parents support you for another four years. Have youever heard of the term "Office Hours"? Have you ever raised your hand in class to ask a question; orhave you just sat there and vegetated with the rest of the "totem poles"? You're in college, not highschool. I know it must be a shock to have to do a little individual thinking and working after the easyroutine of high school. And to top it off, you single out the history department. You would have a hardtime finding a group of instructors who would be more interested in working with students individually. Allyou have to do is darken their door and they will be glad to help you fulfill your ambitions. In conclusion, I would suggest that you do something about your "fascination" other than talk about it. Either do thelatter, or take "Underwater Basketweaving" or "Underwater Cheerleading."

ILTON E. TERRY JEWELER 1305 Commercial Street Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 5 ---------- By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, Columnist Beatnik coffee houses are in the news so frequentlylately that they have become a constant curiosity as far north as Bellingham. In an alley off GardenStreet, a few blocks from campus, a group of students were sitting around their small basementapartment, while down a long flight of stairs and outside the door, a sign bathed in blue light callsattention to the place as the Mole Hole. As the story was revealed to this columnist, there came aknock on the door, and when it was answered, there stood a number of high school students. One ofthese dungaree- clad youths stepped up and said, "Hey, Man, do you serve coffee here?" "Coffee?"came the retort, "what do you mean?" "Isn't this an Espresso coffee house?" asked the Youth with anair of indignation. It seems that all of Bellingham High School has been looking for the 'Mole Hole' forsome time now. Someone has been passing the word about a 'coffee house' of this name somewhere inBellingham. This writer can see in the future a Mole Hole making tuition costs for its occupants. Thetalk of change is not too apparent to this columnist as he threads his weary way to and from classes. Of all the modern equipment conceived by man to make man's work lighter, the grounds keepers seemto be in the dark ages. They still pick up leaves with a hand rake when a lawn sweeper would cut theirlabor appreciatively and leave about four men for other tasks about our campus, such as clearing theWater Buffaloes off the 21st street parking lot. For the next problem this writer will lay the blame onthe freshman and transfer students. I can't understand why it is Western's luck to acquire thesesloppy people who call themselves college students and adults. The reason I lay the blame here is this:last year, in our old "Postage Stamp" lounge, it was considered almost a sin to leave a coffee-stainedcup or a catsup-smeared plate on a table that someone would be using next hour. The WorshippersAsked Why . . . In the beginning there was the god. There followed the priests, and after them theworshippers. The College catalog states that class attendance at Western is "compulsory." Westernprofessors will explain this item in one of the following ways: 1. It is necessary to attend class regularlyto benefit from the course. 2. Veterans must attend classes to receive their GI benefits. 3. It is like having someone work for you. If he is one of the many and shows up only once a week with his work done, youdon't notice him much and you don't tend to give him much consideration when everyone else has beenaround all the time. No. 1 is logical in most cases, No. 2 is the law, and No. 3 is a very human andunderstandable explanation. The really frustrating one, however, is No. 4. It goes like this: "You mustattend class because the College catalog says so." This would be fine if the College catalog were notconsidered a sort of holy book, some of the faculty priests, and many students worshippers, because inthis system the priests always refer to the holy book and no questions are expected. I t would be fine,too, if some instructors did not base grades on attendance over work performedâ€”always citing theCollege catalog. Sometimes we wonder. When was the holy book written? Many instructors do notcare if one ever attends class. They tell him they will judge him on his performance. If he thinks he canlearn without benefit of their assistance, they are willing to let him prove it. These are usually the peoplewhose classes it is necessary to attend to learn. Fortunately they are in considerable number, and thereare also many classes where attendance is obviously necessary and the courses and words of theinstructors are too valuable to miss. Unfortunately, there are also a great number of courses extremely uninterestingly presented, poorly organized and good places to sleep. These are often the classes wheregrades are based on attendance, and where the instructor gives answer No. 4. Now, perhaps, this wholediscussion is picayunish and we should all follow the rules and live happily ever after. But we thought wehave seen Western emerging from the cocoon of rules that act as props for poor courses and lazyinstructors, or ones who have never questioned the book. In a community of scholars, or a world of ideas,it seems somewhat of an insult to have rules that are really not necessary, that one can follow throughcommon sense. At any rate, when everything is being considered in the College's new self-evaluation, itmight be interesting to take a look at the holy book. Long ago there may have been a god that fittedthose times, but wouldn't it be something if the priests wondered a little about the passages they're still quoting, and if a worshipper weren't simply shot for asking that horrible question: Why? There is anunivritten law at Western, whether you know it or not, that when a person has a rwb of coffee, he puts itin the tray rack when finished with it. (Conform or I will stab you with my poison pen!) Our Historydepartment, still reeling from the shock of having a student knock the pedestal out from under them, aretrying to build themselves back up by striking out at the freedom of student expression. There is evena student who, altho not a history major, is writing a letter to the Editor showing just how hard sometoes were stepped on. Don't you agree that even if the history department is the so-called best, it couldstand some improvement?

By KEITH ALLEN Shortly afterfour on Monday afternoon a handful of people stood around joking while others arranged chairs andpoured themselves coffee. At precisely 4:18 Dr. James L. Jarrett arrived and was poured a cup ofcoffee. While he sat down and lit a cigarette, the group waiting outside came in hesitantly and seatedthemselves in the SUB Conference Room. Collegian editor Robertson began speaking as moderator and the first student press conference with president James Jarrett was under way. Robertson beganwith questions written by the group beforehand and Dr. Jarrett answered. He first discussed theHonors Program and, as throughout his answers, more or less confirmed the opinion he had expressedin his earlier addresses. He stated that the Honors Program would possibly be in use in less than twoyears at Western. No response was made to a request for questions from the floor. Though most were a little tense at the beginning, those present began to relax as the president answered their querries.Another typically loaded question was asked, and again another. All eyes were on Dr. Jarrett as hepaused, listened to the next question, and went on. Another person silently came in and sat down. If onelistened closely during a pause, he could hear the fan, as it hummed and blew the suspended lights, aswell as the dish-ncise and murmur of those in the coffee shop. 'We Don't Need Chssring Thcrjsands' "Idid say we were not a football college," Jarrett said in answer to a question on athletics. "An addition tothe gym is fine and good, but . . . it is not to take any precedence over academic additions." One couldsense others were starting to relax. "We don't need to win every football game," he went on. "We do notwant or need cheering thousands at our sports events." Robertson continued reading each question."Vocational journalism is not taught because it is not an academic course," came the president's reply to another. "Those going into school newspaper advising may learn the technicalities of the field with thecourses available." Beyond that, he went on, students can attend trade schools. The 23 in attendancestirred as the first question came from them unwritten. Dr. Jarrett stated that the student should do his part in reaching the goals he aims for and not leave it up to the work of his instructors. The 'SimpleMinded' Student The sounds of pens on paper filled the room. The concluding discussion brought outthe improbabilities of a "simple-minded" student receiving a degree at Western. Admissionrequirements were mentioned. At 5:20 Dr. Jarrett mentioned the fact that more and more might beattending these weekly scheduled conferences open to all students, and that perhaps more activediscussion would take place. The first conference was finished and several helped themselves to thecoffee. President Jarrett rose and talked with Robertson. "I didn't notice the time," he said. No one elsehad, either. INTERViW The Governor at 2 a.m. With the clinking of spoons on coffee cups setting thescene, it was almost as unusual as it was unexpected. In the background a 2-star general and a groupof the governor's friends sat discussing policies and politics over a late meal, while Washington State'schief executive himself sat down with a group of Western Washington College students for a spur-of-the- moment interview over a cup of coffee. "I have just finished helping inaugurate a good man forWestern," Governor Albert D. Rosellini told two editors of the Collegian Saturday night as he satdown with them in the dining Signing autographs for students INAUGURAL PROCESSION And then,there was silence room of Bellingham's Royal Cafe. "Dr. Jarrett appears to be a liberal-minded man and I like that because I'm a liberal, too. "What do you students think of the president?" Rosellini asked andwas quickly launched into a discussion of the state, education and politics that lasted over an hour andled to talks with students that took in the whole evening. Should Education Blossom Out? "Thequestion now is v.hether we should allow our colleges of education to blossom out or remain in theirpresent status," the Governor said. "I have appointed a committee that is looking into education fromtop to bottom. We November 7, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Paqe 7 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 8 ---------- need more and more teachers. If we are going to meet the challenge of the world today, we will have todo it through education, not arms." Originally joining Collegian editors Robertson and Bob Stevenson and three other Western students to answer questions, the Governor's night turned into a meeting withnearly 20 Western students, and covered the whole field of politics. "We have an educational systemthat ranks fifth in the nation; that doesn't mean it shouldn't be improved. One of the things our schoolsystem needs is morev guidance people. We should find out what a student is best suited for and helphim get into that field." Does this mean we should have more quantity of education or more quality? theeditor asked. "Both," Ros-ellini answered, stating that everyone should have the opportunity ofeducation, but that there were people who belong in college and people who do not. "This is whatguidance would find out. I think we should educate all people who are susceptible to education." 'IHave Never Interfered' Asked whether his appointments to college boards of trustees were trying to hiremore liberal arts men for presidencies of education colleges, he said he did not know this was actuallyso. "I have appointed men to all five institutions, however, and I have never interfered with theirappointments. I don't expect to." On the question of federal aid Ros-ellini was emphatic. "We need all we can get and it must come with local control maintained. We are going to have federal aid if we are going to meet the challenges of education today." With questions soon being fired from numbers ofstudents who joined the Collegian delegation the governor gave his ideas on other issues: "Foreignlanguages are very important in our curricula. They are the only real way for us to know other people of the world, their problems, cultures and ideas. I am very much in favor of expansion of languageprograms in our schools," he told Gerhard Langer, president of Western's German club. "TheSeattle Times has very good reason to try and see that I am politically destroyed by creating anissue over the state liquor board. But you will soon see affidavits and statements to show why theTimes is carrying on such a crusade," he told a political science major. A Completely New PolicyGranting the Collegian a final question before leaving Bellingham, the governor answered by announcing a "completely new policy." "Next session you will see, for the first time in the history of the state ofWashington, a governor presenting a budget message to the Legislature . . . I will have my ownbudgetary commission and requests for money will have a complete analysis and hearing. I don't knowspecifically what I can do about your college's request for funds for more library facilities. Of course,Western is not the only college in the state asking for money." Still, what of the fate of the Westernlibrary? "All we can do is take a good look at it and see what we can do. But I believe it is theresponsibility of a governor to look such things over and recommend. I will make a recommendation. Itwas 2 a.m. before Rosellini finished. 'I've Been Worked Over Before' It was a new look at a state official who sat down with students and talked openly, though it was obvious that no earth - shakingannouncements were made and the governor knew how to gather votes. After Rosellini was asked by ayoung Republican to sign a cocktail napkin so he could remember the time and place the end of theconference set the highlight. "May you quote me on everything? Certainly. I've been worked over bynewspapers before." It was almost as startling as being thrown out of the Faculty Council. HÂ®NÂ©RSPR96RAM The Severest Taskmaster The possession of a superior intellect carries with it the duty to put it to use as much as possible, according to Western's associate professor of economics Erwin S.Mayer. For this reason Western Washington is working on forming an Honors program dedicated to thesuperior student. "We are determined to be in the forefront in this state in forming an Honors program,"Dr. Mayer stated as head of the Honors program committee. He went on to say that too many of thehighly capable students find nothing challenging in their regular courses and thus fail to do the work."For these students the work is easy and they goof off if they're not challenged." Honors programs areinstituted to meet the special needs and develop the special gifts of intelligent students. Those selectedfor the program, expected to be in operation at the freshman level next spring, will be given certainprivileges and be obliged to accept other responsibilities. When they are allowed to by-pass the easier courses which they would coast through, they will have to work that much harder in the courses they do take. They will be allowed to avoid many of the themes, quizzes and term papers that seem to hinderthem and in turn be expected to work independently and become, as the committee states, "their own severest taskmasters." It has been found that these systems provide a tremendous stimulus forfaculty as well as the entire student body, along with the Honors students. "There are excitingpossibilities here," Dr. Mayer concluded, "We look forward with great interest to seeing our program,which is largely in the planning stage, get under way." INAUGURATION 'We Need a Lusty Vice' ByKAREN BAINTER "The devil's cloud has a toadstool shape and what he may carry away is not a singleperson, nor a single community, but an entire race . . ." A. Earle Birney, Professor of Eng. lish at theUniversity of British Columbia injected this sobering thought into an audience of students, townspeople, and faculty during a seminar on humanities last Thursday. It was only one of many sobering butsometimes too true, and horrifyingly real, thoughts and ideas versed during the three inaugural sessions. One result of the humanities seminar, "The Changing Face of Hubris," was the introduction of Hubrisinto the vocabulary of many in the audience who hadn't heard of the word before. Hubris is a wordpilfered from the Greeks and denotes a scornful pride or an insolent disregard of moral laws andrestraint. Tracing the origins of Hubris in Greek drama, the first speaker, Thomas Rosenmeyer,Associate Processor of Classics at the University of Washington, then delved into man's recurringhabits of competing with God and interpreting God in ways that further selfish causes. The beginnings ofman's belief in infinite powers that started with the caveman's doodlings on his cave wal!s and evolvedalong with our hubristic pride to modern day human concepts of God, was one of the chains of thought in the lecture of Herbert Muller, Professor of English and Government at Indiana University. Page 8WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 9 ---------- Muller, who doesn't like the word "reacts" because it reminds him of the twitching of frog's legs, definedthe face of Hubris as "an automobile with fins." He compared our civilization, which moralists rant andrave about, with the mass corruption, cruelty, and barbarism of the middle ages and said, "Nowadayswe look tame . . . we need a good honest lusty vice." He talked of the peasant masses who've toiled allthrough history, he discussed conformism, then conjured up and tore down an image of a brave newworld of the future. Speaking next, U.B.C.'s Dr. Birney took the podium and warned, "The evidence of the past is that civilization falls . . . ancient prides must go or ancient furies will consume . . . democracyis best for developing creativity . . . but there are democracies and there are democracies and not even the best is worth saving at the cost of the human race." He talked earnestly of the hopelessness ofIndia, where every victory is a defeat, and which can only be saved by the concentrated efforts of all themajor countries of the world. Talking of prejudices, and the failure of the nations of the world to educatetheir young in unity, Birney climaxed the session by putting us in the role of Pandora trying to get the lid back onto the box. "There is no safe dose of radiation." Grayhaired and serious, A. H. Sturte-vant,professor of Genetics, at the California Institute of Technology talked slowly as his presentation opened Thursday night's science seminar. He said we are all exposed to some radiation through elements inthe soil, cosmic rays, medical X-rays, and fallout which doesn't do much harm. But the after-effects ofexcessive radiation can range from malignant growths in the person concerned, to mutations in thedecendants of the affected. Speaking next, Frederick Thieme, the Provost at the University ofWashington, went into the need for new methods to solve the unanswered questions of man's origin."We are as we are, because of what we were," Thieme declared, then discussed a variety of topicsfrom prehistoric blue-green algae, to bone residues, to the use of radioactivity in determining theage of fossils. Discussion of the changes which must take place in education during the next 10 yearswas the format of the final session "Education 1975." One obviously bitter educator, stressing theneed for revised state taxes, denounced the Washington tax structure as such: "The most fiendish tax system that could be devised couldn't match the state of Washington." They looked back over thiscountry's educational changes and prophesied 'Nowadays We Look Tame A. H. STURTEVANT H. J.MULLER Here discussing "Education in 1975" is T. R. McConnell, University of California, Louis Bruno,Pullman, Washington Superintendent of schools, J. Alan Ross, Western Washington College, andPaul D. Woodring, Western Psychology Professor on leave to the Ford Foundation. A. Earl Birney of the University of British Columbia is shewn after he discussed "The New Hubris" in the Humanities Session"The Changing Face of Hubris." November 7, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 9 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 10 ---------- on the future. Along with the usual forecast of special classes for the gifted, advanced by ability not age,and the improvement of wider use of educational T.V. came the idea of "team" teaching. A "team" wouldbe responsible for 100 or so students in a broad field and would consist of one master teacher, one ortwo other fully certified teachers, an intern teacher, and a couple of skilled community members.Talking on the subject of public schools was Louis Bruno, Superintendent of Schools in Pullman,Washington, while the American school system as a whole was handled by Paul Wood-ring ofWestern who is on leave to the Ford Foundation. College education was discussed by T. R. McConnell,from the University of California, who stressed the need for a greater variety in types of colleges to fitthe types of students so as much time won't be wasted on subjects students don't need for their ownindividual educations. Then there was silence. The auditorium was quiet and empty again until theinauguration which unfolded that afternoon, and the thoughts left behind v/ere digested and afcsorbed bythose who had the facilities to digest them. BOESE CONCERT Dull and Without Life By STACYTUCKER Somewhat of a task lies ahead of an organist who is to perform upon a strange organ. Theorgan has not reached the degree of standardization that other instruments such as the piano haveattained and while all organs conform to certain general specifications, they also differ considerably, one from the other. For this reason, most organists will not even attempt to give a concert before anaudience until they have been at least an hour in acquainting themselves with the specific instrumentupon which they are to perform. Considering these facts, however, this reviewer still does not findreason enough to excuse the mediocre quality of last week's organ recital by Raymond Boese. Hislecture "demonstration" at ten o'clock was without life and was found dull even by some music majors.He read the bulk of his talk in a mechanical manner which did not add to its already research paperquality. The reception was cancelled, thus giving no opportunity to talk with Boese. The performancewas good in spots and passable on the whole. This reviewer has not, however, heard positivecomments on it by anyone to speak of, music majors included. (Not that any remarks by musicmajors would tend to altar the content of this criticism. STUDENT UNION Dedication Set . . . UnionBoard Chairman Jack Ra-bourn has informed the Collegian that November 30 to December 6, will be setaside for dedication of the Student Union Building. Bob Poldervart, member of the Union Board, ischairman of the week's events. The initial event will be a reception in which the many potential uses ofthe building will be unfolded before a limited invited audience. Later in the week the lounge area will bededicated, an open house for the students will culminate the week's events on December 6. TheBoard plans to have art exhibits, recitals, and cofee hours in the building in the near future. Achildren's art exhibit will be held in November, according to Rabourn. RAYMOND BOESE, ORGANISTThe bulk of his talk in a mechanical manner WILD DUCK Through a Skylight . . . Daylight, dawn,duskâ€”the hours of the sun will be portrayed through a skylight. Angling over the stage during thecoming production of Ibsen's Wild Duck, will be something new on Western's stage; a skylight designedby technical director, Mark Flanders. Using antique furniture and combining his staging efforts withTom Aston, assistant technical director and Sue Weidman, light operator, Flanders hopes to create arealistic atmosphere for the soon-to-be-produced play. Also aiming at authenticity are the twostudents who are taking over the costume department. Betty Sue Ritchie, a senior business educationmajor, and Carol Erchinger, a junior majoring in home economics and minoring in art, have redesignedten women's costumes for the play and are now engaged in the actual sewing of them. The girls found agoldmine of dresses and furniturs in a closet belonging to Miss Erchinger's grandmother, the late Mrs.Margaret Grant of Bellingham, and a number of these articles have been donated for use in theproduction. As the various departments organize and work, plans for the "Wild Duck" take shape.Costumes, staging, lighting; these are all part of production preliminaries underway as once again allthe strings are being tied to a swift schedule for the production of another Western drama presentation.Page 10 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 11 ---------- ASB PRESIDENCY Success and Rock Hunter By LIZ SUNDSTROM You elected himâ€”now what?Last week 426 Western students swayed by the argument, "Experience is the best teacher" supported Bob Gustavson for the ASB presidency. What can these students expect from his administration?What has experience taught Bob Gustavson? Questioned about his plans for this year, Gustavsonreadily discussed several projects he has in mind. "We are operating on a delcit budget at thepresent time, due to the overspending of several departments." (See Collegian, October 23, 1959.) Inhopes of curtailing unnecessary extravagance, Gustavson plans to scrutinize carefully all ASBexpenditures. Although this action probably won't solve the problem immediately, it should reduce costsgreatly. Gustavson also intends to revise the present administrative system to supply a more uniformprogram for student government. In the past, each new administration has brought abrupt changesin policy. As a result, incompleted projects have been dropped, and good ideas abandoned.Gustavson feels that these s u d d en changes are a waste of the student-body's time, money, andenergies. To increase operational efficiency, he will keep thorough records of all student body activities.Gustavson plans to set up a conduct calendar advising students on proper behavior and apparel forvarious occasions. Many students attend school events dressed inappropriately and seem oblivious to the use of common courtesy at functions such as the A-L assemblies, he said. His primary goal for theyear is to make student government an increasingly "interesting, worthwhile, and rewardingexperience for students." Hoping to encourage more student participation and to dispel the feeling of"complacency and lack of interest which many students have toward school activities," BobGustavson, former acting chairman, now enthroned with an official gavel, set out on the path toshowing whether success would be spoiled by Rock Hunter. In a new twist Rock Hunter would be thestudent body. BOB GUSTAVSON Elected â€” Now What? LEGISLATURE 'Buttons' a Strong Fourth At the lengthy meeting of the Legislature held last Wednesday in the Coffee Shop, it was the final orderof business that highlighted the meeting. A proposal was brought before the board for Finance Chairman Jerry Baker and Dr. Byron Haglund, professor of economics, to conduct research on the budgets ofpast years in order to discover present trends. It was suggested that said research could result in saving the school ten to 15 thousand dollars per year from its annual budget. It was moved that they do so.With Bob Gustavson officially seated it was time for permanent cabinet positions to be filled. Gustavsonpresented the names of Don Bevis, Norma Rice and Karen Brumstrom as possibilities for theJudicial Board. After discussion they were accepted. Miss Sharon Belchschmidt (is that right Sharon?)was suggested by the president for Opinion Board Chairman. Before her acceptance, Robinson madea motion that in the future ALL candidates MUST come to the meeting or send an informative letter to the Legislature describing their qualifications. Elections Chairman Roc Caldwell reported on the ASBpresidential election. Ballet totals were Gustavsonâ€” 436 votes, "Doc" Moodyâ€”213, DonAlderâ€”114, and "Buttons" a strong fourth with 41 votes. Seven other ballots were cast for suchfavorite sons as Al red E. Neuman and Al Jung. Ray Knabe presented his report on leftover facilities from the old Lounge. After he listed the items, it was suggested the Union Board Chairman Jack Rabournlook over the list and pick out what could be used. Rabourn suggested that remaining chesterfields and chairs could be used at the Lakewood property. Rabourn also asked for and received $585 to purchasea Wurlitzer piano to be used in the music lounge of the building. He also announced that $421.73remained from the summer budget. Dr. Murray moved that the sum be reverted to budget control.Collegian Editor Robertson made his report on Collegian finances. According to his figures themagazine is within its budget. Clayton Hood, who played his last football game in 1954, has finally teenawarded his blanket. COFFEE HOUR Prelude to Wild Duck "The most challenging of Ibsen'sdramas"â€”these were the words with which Dr. William Gregory, director, referred to the forthcomingproduction of The Wild Duck. This statement may be a topic of controversy November 12 as theStudent Union conference room is once again opened to a distinguished visitor, Professor SverreArestad, a former Western student, now head of the department of Scandinavian Language andLiterature at the University of Washington, who will give a brie? analysis of the play and then answerquestions and act as discussion moderator. The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. and is open to students,faculty and townspeople. Dr. Arestad, a nationally recognized authority in his field, is the first speakerever presented here as the prelude to a production, but according to Dr. Gregory "we hope to make thisa general practice if at all possible." He strongly urged the attendance of all those interested in thedrama and went on to express this opinion of the play: "a combination of comedy, sometimes borderingon slapstick, and stark tragedy.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the annual celebration is the football game. The exuberant and intoxicatingatmosphere of the crowd is tremendous every Homecoming but this year's game may prove thrillingenough to make the high spirited majority throw their flasks away. Central Washington, currently tied forthe Evergreen Conference number one spot, provides the opposition this afternoon for the fast risingVikings. Victorious in its last two games, Western is all set to knock the Wildcats off their lofty perch. In comparing the conference records of the two clubs Central would rate as the favorites. But Central'srecord is deceiving since they have dropped three non-conference games to give them a total of three wins and four losses. The Vikings' solid forward wall has been the main reason the opposition has scored only thirteen points in the last three games. Outweighed by at least thirty pounds per man, Westernoutcharged and outplayed UBC last week while the week before they stopped Pacific Lutheran almostcompletely. Offensively there has been 100% improvement in the last two games. The biggestimprovement has been in the passing game, shown by Doug Ringenbach and Steve Hansen's combinedtotal of 185 yards against UBC. In the rushing department Ron Ladines and Sam Martin have carried theball for 283 and 201 yards respectively this season. Len Gargarello is the top pass receiver with fivecatches for 141 yards. Ladines leads the scorers with 24 points followed by Hansen with 13. A bigsurprise for the Vikings in their last two games has been the tremendous play of freshman halfbackJack Halliday. Against Pacific Lutheran. Halliday intercepted two passes and in last week's UBC game he picked off three Thunderbird aerials setting up one Western touchdown. With the tremendous spirit, builtup around Homecoming, the Vikings will have no trouble being up for this game and the final score shouldread WESTERN 27, CENTRAL 6. SHORTS ON SPORTS . . .

Showing theirmost potent offensive display of the season, Western's vastly improved eleven roared to a 20-3 victoryover UBC's highly rated Thunderbirds last Saturday on the Canadian campus. The Viks collectednearly 350 yards on total offense and had at least 100 more called back on penalties. To top things offthey intercepted six Thunderbird aerials. Steve Hansen and Doug Ringenbach led the Western attackwith 131 and 114 yards respectively. Hansen collected 96 by passing and 35 on the ground whileRingenbach threw for 89 and gained 25 running. Ron La-dines remained as the Viks' top scorer as headded two touchdowns to his total. He got one on a 25 yard pass from Hansen and the other on a oneyard plunge. Len Gargarello scored the other six pointer on a 40 yard toss from Ringenbach. Westerntook the opening kickoff and marched 68 yards for their first score. The big play of the series was the 15-yard Ringenbach to Gargarello pass play that put the Viks on the UBC 25. Ladines got the score fromthe one, but Hansen missed his first kick of the season, leaving the Norsemen ahead 6-0. After anexchange of punts, Western drove to its second touchdown. With UBC on the Viking 26, Jack Hallidaypicked off a T-bird pass and returned it to the Thunderbird 40. It took just one play from there asRingenbach hit Gargarello for the score and Hansen added the PAT. In the third quarter, tackle FredKnapp recovered a UBC bobble on the Western 43 and the Viks rambled 57 yards for their third score.Hansen hit Ladines behind a screen and the big fullback drove into the end zone from the 25. Hansenagain added the PAT to close out the Vikings' scoring. The Thunderbirds' only points came in thesecond quarter when they picked up a 22 yard field goal. Bay and Champion RE 3-2610 WESTERNPLAYER a potent offensive display CO-CAPTAINS Hard Men to Replace Seniors Sam- Martin, JackSim, Ned Olson and Bill Burby have been named co-captains of the 1959 Western Washingtonfootball team. The first three all are four year lettermen, and Burby was a transfer who has lettered thepast two seasons. Martin has played right halfback in all of Coach John Kulbitski's four years atWestern. "Sam has been an outstanding ball carrier, pass receiver, and defensive halfback," stated Kul-bitski. "He'll be a hard man to replace." Martin, from Auburn, has also excelled in other sports atWestern. He has been one of the mainstays of Ray Ciszek's track squad the past three yearsâ€”he runs the high hurdles, low hurdles, the relay, broad jumps, high jumps, and throws the javelin. In hisfreshman and sophomore years, Martin, who stands 6'2" and weighs 180, was on the varsity basketballsquad. His athletic prowess was recognized last spring when he was voted by the students "Athlete ofthe Year." Like Martin, Sim, a rugged 6'2", 210 lbs., has been a regular under Kulbit-ski for four seasons. Not only does the Victoria athlete stand out as an offensive center, but he is feared by opposingteams for his linebacking ability. Sim, like Martin, has been named honorable mention all-conferencethe past two seasons. Last year the players elected easy-going Jack the "Most Inspirational Player."Olson, who hails from Spokane, has put in a lot of time the past four seasons as one of Kulbitski's finest tackles. "Ollie," who stands 5'11" and scales 200 pounds, loves to open holes in the offensive line for the Viking backs. He has proven his versatility by also playing center when needed. (Ned was offensivecenter for the first game last season when Sim was out with leg boils.). Burby, whose home is in Butte,Montana, is the only single man among the four co-captains. Bill was merely a reserve end at the start of last season, but his hustle and determination soon found him a position as starting offensive guard.Burby, who is 510" and 185, has been one of the outstanding lineman in the Evergreen Conference thisyear not only on offense, but also on defense.

Robert Ross has been Western's president nearly four years. Now, according to university policy, Ross will be evaluatedby the Board of Trustees. Graduate School Dean Samuel Kelly, who is assisting the trustees with theevaluation, said 200 questionnaires soon will be sent to a cross-section of the university community toassess Ross' performance as Western's chief administrative officer. That cross-section will includesenior administrative officers, department chairpersons, present and past Associated Studentpresidents and some present board members, a sampling of junior and senior faculty, andrepresentatives from the Western Foundation, the Alumni Association and the community. While thequestionnaires are to be submitted anonomously, respondents will be asked to identify the segment ofthe university community they represent, Kelly said. The questionnaires will be summarized andforwarded, along with the originals, to Trustee Chairman James Waldo. Members of the universitycommunity who do not receive questionnaires but are interested in contributing to the evaluation areinvited to send letters concerning Ross' performance to Waldo. Letters can be sent to Waldo at Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell 2101 One Union Square, Seattle, Wa. 98101. Kelly said the invitation will "open up" the evaluation process to those of Western's 10,000 member community who do not receivequestionnaires. Questionnaires and ietters should be received before the end of fall quarter, but Kellysaid he would prefer they be sent by the end of November to speed up the evaluation process. Ross'evaluation probably will be completed during winter quarter, he said. The evaluation process is beginning now, Kelly said, so it can be completed during the academic year when faculty and students are oncampus. Students' perceptions surveyed As many as 800 Western students may complete aconfidential questionnaire designed to reveal their perceptions about the quality of education Westernprovides. Students will participate in the university-funded study Nov. 11,12 and 13 in Lecture Hall 3. The 5-year research project, now in its second year, examines learning perceptions of the same group ofstudents each year to detect any changes in attitudes regarding quality of education. The objective of the project is to help faculty develop educational strategies to meet students' needs more effectively, saidresearch director Joan Sherwood, who formerly served as vice president of Student Affairs. "The climateis right for changes in the academic sector," Sherwood said. "There seems to be a national feeling thatcollege doesn't effectively meet sf utferiâ€¢'t'sxn,eetrs: W'e warrt r/o"'k ho w'ribw stud e'nts- feel about it." Sherwood got the idea for the project from a dissertation written by Marsha Taylor, of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The completed questionnaires will be sent to Miami University for scoring. Researchersthere will compare responses with those from last year, using participant's student numbers, not names,for identification. Eight hundred students in social-science classes participated in the study last year. Of those, about 600 returned to Western this year, a number that surprised Sherwood, she said. "Weexpected a 35 percent attrition rate," Sherwood said. "1 would guess returning students'mean GPAmight be higher than average. They might be very highly motivated students." All students whoparticipated in the project last year received invitations to participate this year, regardless of whether they returned to school. Students are asked what they believe the key is to doing well in college courses,what methods instructors use that are most effective and how much student-instructor interaction in theclassroom is most beneficial. While Sherwood hopes the project will improve the quality of educationat Western, she said she sees no indication that students are dissatisfied with current curricula."Students I've talked to tell me they are very happy with what they are getting," she said. Lobbyingnetwork unites alumni advocates B|Â§Iichaet Sf Smith Sl(^y gt;epqft0y^y^^^^ When the StateLegislature reconvenes in January, Western's Alumni Office expects to have a revamped lobbyingnetwork ready for action. For the past five years the office has coordinated a "loose" lobbying network of about 25 alumni. But Alumni Office Director Chris Goldsmith said he expects to expand the networkto include about 500 alumni by January, with 10 to 20 in each legislative district. These alumniadvocates will telephone legislators in their district on behalf of Western whenever issues of importanceto the school arise in the Legislature. "It just makes sense to use this resource," Goldsmith said. "TheAlumni Board of Directors believes Western alumni are a force to be reckoned with politically. A lot ofalumni â€” voters â€” care what happens to Western and legislators ought to know that." The AlumniOffice has the names and addresses of about 36,000 alumni on a computer file. Goldsmith used thecomputer to go through the list of names and identify alumni by legislative district. Four staff members started calling alumni last week, asking them to participate in the network. Already 25 alumni in eight districts have committed help. Calling will continue, one night a week, until the target number is reached. "So far people seem very happy (and) more than willing to get involved," Goldsmith said. Al Froderberg, special assistant to the president for state government relations, will work closely with the networkthrough the Alumni Office. He will ensure Goldsmith or someone in the Alumni Office's LegislativeCommittee knows when the Legislature will consider an issue important to Western and what standthe school will take. The Alumni Office then will contact key alumni advocates in each district who, inturn, will call other advocates in their district. Then all the advocates will call their legislators. If alumniadvocates disagree with Western's position on an issue, they could choose not to call legislators,Froderberg said. "But we would hope they wouldn't call their legislatures and take a stand against us,"he said. Sometimes, on complicated issues, Froderberg will write a brief summary of Western's positionand the Alumni Office will send copies to all the advocates, ideally four to five days before a vote. "I think (the network) will be effective," Froderberg said. "This will show legislators that an awful lot of peoplefeel Western deserves better, that legislators need to take more responsibility for the school's needs." ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 HEC studies may influence fundin By MichaelS.Smith staff reporter The State Legislature in January will discuss two key issues pertinent toWestern's budget. Its decisions concerning funding for instructional support and salaries may beinfluenced by two studies, Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, said. A comparison of faculty and. admin-tra tor's salaries at peer universities throughout the country is conducted each year by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. Froderberg said peer schools are selected in states that arereasonably close to Washington, taking into account such factors as population, the economy andcitizens' income. Western's peer schools are Northern Arizona University, California State Universityat Chico, California State University at Hayward, Western Illinois University, University of NorthernIowa, Northern Michigan University and Portland State University. Its study, Froderberg said, showedthat Western is 10.6 percent behind its peers in salaries. Even further behind their peers, CentralWashington University lags 15 percent in salaries and Eastern Washington University lags 23 percent. The nine-member HEC Board was appointed by the governor for the task of developing a Master Plan forhigher education. This plan is likely to influence the state's policy concerning admissions, funding andthe role and mission of each university. As a result of its study, the HEC Board in Septemberrecommended the Legislature implement a two-stage pay increase for faculty during the 1987-89biennium. The $135.4 million increase would adjust faculty salaries to those of peer schools. The otherstudy will compare funding of instructional support, such as libraries and computers. He saidinstructional support probably wasn't compared in the past because it is such a big undertaking. Itrequires thorough examination of eight budgets, including Western's, before any comparisons canbe made. "The Governor's Office of Management and Budget initiated the idea," Froderberg said."They decided it would be worth it to get a clearer picture of how our schools compare to their peers." An educational consulting firm called the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems isdoing the study, Froderberg said. Results should be available in two to three weeks. Froderberg saidhe doesn't expect the CHRIS BALDWIN study to show Western to be adequately funded in relation toother universities. He said Washington has severely cut instructional support funds since 1981, whileother schools have-increased funding in that area. The comparisons are important because theyprovide the Legislature with documented evidence of Western's need for additional funding, Froderbergsaid. Building and maintenance funding, important topics for Western, won't be included in thecomparison studies, he said. Acquiring funds to remodel the current Art/Tech Buildingand toconstructanew science building are top capital facilities issues for Western, he said. The maintenance (orequipment) budget, he said, is strained to the point where the school is barely able to maintain andrepair equipment, including the computers. "If we got more funds to buy computers we would really behard-pressed," he said. "What good arc new computers if you can't take care of them." Western alsowants the state to raise its enrollment lid. Froderberg said. In an October 17 Front story Western'sadmissions director Richard Rich! said the university stopped accepting applications from incomingfreshmen and transfer students October 10. Western has asked the Legislature to raise the lid by 150Full-Time-Equivalent students each year through 1989. Equity with the other regional universities â€”Central and Eastern â€” is another important topic, Froderberg said. During the '70s the Legislature cutbudgets at regional universities. Eastern and Central cut their instructional budgets, but Western cut itsbudget elsewhere. Eventually, funding was restored to Eastern and Central's instructional budgets.Western, however, didn't receive any new money. Later, when the regional universities were given newmoney, Eastern and Central often used it to hire more faculty. Western, though, often used its moneyto raise the salaries of its veteran faculty. This resulted in Western having the highest (24.1 to I) student-to-teacher ratio of the three. Eastern's is 18.5 to 1 and Central's is 19.2 to I. "We think this should becorrected," Froderberg said. But it has to do with Western being on a par with its peer schools infunding, rather than with Eastern and CentraK he said. "If Western's funding were equal to its peerschools, the equity question probably would be resolved," Froderbersz said. if AMERICAN CANCERSOCIETY" Help us keep winning PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

Sidles said themanager's position has been split into two jobs for more than a year and he also requested the boardrevise the pay schedule from an hourly rate to a quarterly salary of $600 for each position. The title ofoperations manager would be replaced by facilities manager and personnel manager, and bothemployees would report to the Recycle Center Coordinator. The division and reclassification of themanager's position will have no effect on the Recycling Center's budget, Sidles said. As it is now,Sidles said, "there's a great deal of confusion." The recycle center employees currently receive astarting pay of $3.95 per hour, with a 10 cent per hour raise after three quarters of employment, Sidlessaid. He said if a student filling either position were to work 16 hours a week â€” the maximum allowedby the university, the total earnings would be the same. "1 thought it would probably be moreappropriate to bring them to salary," Sidles said. "1 think that the $600 salary level is appropriate." Thebudget currently allows for two management positions: Sidles at $750 per quarter and the operationalmanager's. The benefit to the people filling the reclassified positions would be increased status andmaybe a shift in hours, as they already are performing management functions with financial andpersonnel responsibilities, he said. The board is scheduled to vote on the revised job description atits meeting next Wednesday. In other AS business: The board endorsed an upcoming Salvation Armyfood drive and is offering a $25 prize to the student organization collecting the most food. The SalvationArmy is seeking student volunteers to take part in the Walk and Knock food drive scheduled for Nov.15. Nursing program is ailing By Jerry Tegarden Despite a 1986 state-wide study indicating nursingwill be the most demanded skill in the Pacific Northwest by the year 2000, the future of Western'snursing program is uncertain. In October, Nursing Program Chairwoman Karen Moren met with nursingeducators and health professionals from throughout the country during conferences dealing withquestions about the profession. Moren traveled to Washington, D.C. last month for a conferencesponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The conference focused on the change in nursing to higher levels of education, such as an associate degree R.N., as entry requirements to theprofession. The other meeting, in Seattle, was sponsored by the Council for Nursing Educators inWashington. Officials at all levels of nursing discussed the emerging emphasis on higher educationalrequirements. Moren said Western's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is the only other publicly fundedprogram in Western Washington besides the program at the University of Washington. "On a state level I found that there is support for this program, that there is a need for continuing this type of program,"Moren said. One reason for the need to continue Western's program, Moren said, is the difficulty ofgetting into the UW's program. "There are a fair number of private universities with a program similar toours. Of course the tuition here is a lot less than in a private school." The nursing program advisoryboard last week formed a committee with the task of developing proposals for Moren to present toWestern's administration by the end of November. The administration has indicated a willingness toconsider any proposals the advisory board and Moren can suggest, she said. "Even though we have a lotof support from the state and national organizations and the medical community, it may not be enough,"Moren said. LAURA TOWEY "1 think the whole issue comes down to administrative support forfunding here. The school may close down if we don't come up with some other options." According to areport by the Puget Sound Higher Education Consortium, the increased demand for nurses in the PugetSound area will be 10,000 in 14 years. Participants surveyed included officials from Western, UW,Central Washington University, Pacific Lutheran University and other Pacific Northwest universities. Thesix-year-old program receives about five inquiries a week from people interested in applying to theprogram at Western, Moren said. After 24 juniors entered the program this fall. Western suspendedenrollment because of a lack of state funding. The program is not closed, but applications will not beaccepted until at least 1990, the year when its accreditation expires. Moren said her office probablywould publish a statement listing concerns about the suspension and the possible end of the program.Some schools are considering sending petitions to Western's community. Moren suggested lettersshould be mailed to Western President G. Robert Ross. A copy also should be sent to Moren.

Connie Copeland, assistant to the vice president of Student Affairs, said themain objective is to educate Western's community about the issues and illegality of sexual harassment.Sexual harassment can happen to male students as well as females, she added. Maurice Bryan,Affirmative Action coordinator, will help publish the pamphlet, which Copeland hopes to distribute thisschool year. Two or three students also will be involved in writing the flyer, she added. "Education is thebest way for prevention." Copeland said. "It is less likely to happen if people in the environment areconcerned about it." According to Western's policy, sexual harassment occurs when someone in aposition of power or authority promises grades or other academic or work-related rewards to a student inexchange for sexual relations. Sexual harassment also occurs if the person in power subjects thestudent to unwanted sexual attention, verbally or physically, in the educational or work environment.Sexual harassment is anything from sexist jokes and innuendos to inappropriate advances toacademic rewards or punishments involving sexual conduct to sex crimes, Copeland said. CONNIECOPELAND Drawing attention to sexual harassment is "something we've wanted to do for a longtime," Copeland said. "Western has a good policy but there hasn't been enough education (on thesubject)." Sexual harassment only recently has become an issue on university campuses. It was notdeemed inappropriate until the mid 70s, she said, and was not defined as discriminatory until 1980.Because sexual discrimination is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, universities had to adoptpolicies and establish ways to address the issue. Copeland said. "There was a definite need for awritten policy," she said. Western's Board of Trustees adopted a policy for Western on Feb. 3, 1983.The policy set a standard investigation process for all sexual harassment complaints reported bystudents. The policy outlines the procedural stages beginning by referring the student to Copeland forinformal advice. To file a formal investigation, the student issues a signed complaint to the AffirmativeAction Office, which assesses the allegation. If the complaint warrants an investigation, it is forwardedto the appropriate vice president, who notifies the accused of the allegation and determines the course of action. The decision may be appealed to the Student Academic Grievances Board. At no time duringthe procedure is the student's name used without consent and the student is protected by the universityagainst retaliation. Before this policy was established, complaints were handled case by case, Copeland said. The number of incidents at Western is typical of other universities, she said. "From my informalcontact with students, we fit'the national norms,"she said. According to a booklet published by theProject on the Status and Education of Women last April, nationwide research revealed up to 30 percentof all female college students experience some form of sexual harassment. Two percent of femalestudents are directly threatened or bribed for sexual favors. The booklet contained no statisticalinformation concerning number of sexual harassment cases reported. On a campus of Western's size,these numbers translate to 3,000 and 200 victims, respectively. Western has not conducted anyresearch on campus statistics, Copeland said. She said Western has no plans to conduct one at thistime. Copeland said she sees one or two students each quarter who have harassment complaints.Copeland said the complaints range from "jokes (made in lectures) to physical involvement." Thestudents who have visited Copeland to complain about sexual harassment include three men, shesaid. "It's important to realize men are offended by sexist comments, too," Copeland said. At leastone student has filed a formal complaint since the policy was initiated in 1983, she said. Mostcomplaints are dealt with informally through the Student Affairs Office, she said, as the objective is tostop the behavior, not to punish the harasser. Copeland said students who have experienced sexualharassment may become scared and blame themselves for the incident. She said if people talk aboutit and start to ask questions, they may discover other people have become offended, too. Copelandemphasized the importance of discussing the issues. She suggested people also should talk to residentaides, friends, co-workers or faculty members. Students also can seek advice from the AS Women'sCenter or the Affirmative Action office. fWrnig^a^^SK^KJSElL.iMhi: gg IMllSJTSgXMBuSi THE BUSCOMPANY Now there's a new Bus Company in town In the Bellingham Mall next to Great HarvestBread Co.

The Vikings earned the trip to the nationals, which begins next Thursday, by placing third atthe NAIA District 1 regional meet last Saturday. The trip, including airfare, lodging, food and groundtransportation for Coach Ralph Ver-nacchia and seven runners, will cost about $3,000. The sevenrunners competing in the national meet are Brad Alexander, Steve Tollan, Neal Sherry, Brad Adams,Matt Ruhl, Hugh Webber and John Belsher. The group will leave Nov. 13, compete Nov. 15 and return to Bellingham the next day. The funds will be appropriated from the DRAC national travel budget, whichhas nearly $ 14,000 appropriated for fall quarter. The travel budget primarily is used to pay expenses forWestern students traveling to national competitions. But the budget also may be used for regional travel expenses. Athletic Director Boyde Long, a member of DRAC, made the request for the money on behalf of the cross country team. In other business during its second meeting of fall quarter DRAC re-electedChairwoman Tina Brinson. Also discussed was the nomination of four students for the Services andActivities Fee Committee. At least one student of the four nominated by DRAC . will serve on the feecommittee.

Or at least that's the sailing team's goal. "Racing the Flying Scots was likedriving someone else's car. It took us awhile to get the seat adjusted," skipper Mark Harang said ofWestern's three-man sailing team's performance at the recent Intercollegiate Sloop Championships inDetroit. Harang, a senior from Seattle majoring in technology, along with juniors Erik Hauge and AndySchwenk maneuvered their 20-foot sloop through the paces of the regatta last weekend. This was thefirst time the three shipmates, who also share a house, had sailed together in actual competition.They admitted finding it difficult to make headway with the Scots, a type of sloop none of them hasnavigated or even seen up close before. The Viking sailors typically race 14- foot dinghies and found thelarger Scots to be much more cumbersome and slow. But all vessels provided for use in regattas must be the same, Harang said. "Sailing is people against people, not boat against boat," Harang said. TheVikings' speed was not impressive throughout the first day. Gear breakage in the first, second and fourthraces slowed them down. Disappointed by the mechanical problems, Harang said, "It wasn't like wewere going to win otherwise. It was a higher caliber of sailing than we're used to." By the final day of theregatta, however, the crew of Vikings managed to haul in a second and a third place and missedwinning the final race by "mere inches." Schwenk said. Schwenk added that collegiate sailing is "ascompetitive as hell. You could sail without a single mistake and still not be able to win." Dave Lutz. aneducation major with two years on the sailing team, emphasized competition fine tunes skills moreeffectively. Hauge agreed, adding "We learned a lot more last weekend than we have in a longer period of regular practices." The Detroit regatta's seven races gave each team the opportunity to sail every boat.Western competed against crews representing Springhill, Navy, Stanford, the University of Michigan,Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Gollege of Charlestown, ranked number one in sailing last year. All teams raced with three crew members, but most of the schools competing at last week'sraces brought along surplus crews. This allowed the teams to mix and match their members to achievethe most advantageous weight combinations, Hauge said. "We were a little heavy," Hauge said.Western could afford only to send three men to the regatta and had to leave their coach, Jeff Davis, athome. The Vikings compete in the Northwest District of the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association.Western is one of 14 schools in the district encompassing Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.Sailing is a club sport at Western and university funding to the club amounts to approximately $900 ayear, Lutz said. Some East Coast schools invest thousands of dollars in their sailing teams. The team is seeking funding from private backers, such as the Sailing Foundation in Seattle and plans to stageseveral fund-raisers. The Western sailors agreed the Northwest has a potential for important sailingregattas, but they don't believe sailing is stressed in the Northwest as strongly as it is on the East coast. Most of the prestigious regattas are .sailed on the East coast or in California, Harang said. The Vikings have tied down wins in KRISTI MOEN Crew Karee Loghry takes a dip in Lake Whatcom as skipper ErikHauge maneuvers the Alpha in light winds during practice Wednesday. each elimination regatta they'vecompeted in and are 4-0 in district competition. Hauge, Schwenk, Lutz and Harang agreed that theteams from Lewis and Clark, the University of Victoria and the University of Washington consistentlyprovide their stiffest competition. During the Thanksgiving break, Harang, Hauge and their crew, AndreaHenderson and Karee Loghry, will travel to Chicago to compete in one of the most prestigious races inthe country, the Timme Angsten Regatta. They won the right to race in Chicago when they beat nineother teams in elimination races in Victoria, B.C. on Oct. 25 and 26. The four express a desire todevelop depth of skill among all members of the team, not just in the top crew. The team gradually hasimproved during the past three years, Lutz said. This season's team is the strongest Western hasassembled. "We want to develop a strong base for continuing success for the future and welcomenewcomers," Lutz said. The Vikings hope to qualify for Dinghy Nationals this year at the MerchantMarines Academy in Kingsport, N.Y. They also will be sailing for the J.F. Kennedy Cup Memorial Regatta at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. By attending more and more national regattas, they hope toachieve a national ranking one day. Harang will be competing in a Laser class single-handed regatta inAlabama Nov. 14-16 against teams from 16 others schools. v Last year. Harang captured 10th place of16 in this competition sailed in Hawaii. The regatta is moved to a different location each year.Western's district is the only one with sailboard regattas, and this weekend the Vikings will host the"Psychedelic Rasta Board Regatta. Part II" on Lake Whatcom. Races will begin at 9 a.m. onSaturday and run until it gets dark, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the next day.

For some reason, Reagan thinks theStrategic Defense Initiativeâ€”Star Warsâ€”is worth such a lost opportunity. But America's scientificcommunity is trying to tell the president to come back down to planet Earth. The Cornell Institute forSocial and Economic Research released a survey this week indicating the scientists who would build the space defense don't think it would work. Ninety-eight percent of a cross section of National Academy ofScience members said Star Wars probably wouldn't stop enough incoming Soviet missiles to safelydefend American populations. Eighty-one percent said the chances are poor to extremely poor that StarWars can be made cost effective, as Reagan claims it can. Only 10 percent support the program. Eighty-five percent said Reagan hasn't listened to scientists enough regarding the feasibility of SD1. If thepresident's ignorance of the facts didn't have such broad ranging and life-threatening consequences, wecould joke about Reagan's hear-no-evil pose. As it stands though, we'd better hope the scientists insisttheir voices are heard. And when the scientists who refuse to build Reagan's new suit of armor tell us the"Great Communicator" has no clothes, perhaps we ought to listen. Education needs critical thought Arecent report by the Carnegie Foundation entitled "College: the Undergraduate Experience in America,"seems to imply the questionâ€”whatever happened to critical thought as a goal of education? Conflictingpressures and demands have confused the goals of many universities, the report states. It quotes amidwest college president, "It's all right to talk about liberal arts goals but we have to face up to whatstudents want today." With today's emphasis on specific job skills many university departments are littlemore than vocational training schools. They bear little resemblance to the liberal arts schools of the past. What sort of education do we get at Western? It appears from Western's published three-year objectives that this university is more concerned with meeting the needs of business and industry than providingstudents a quality education and teaching them to think. With the kinds of crises facing the worldtodayâ€”threats of nuclear war, economic collapse and environmental degradationâ€”it seems the mostimportant asset a college graduate could have is a broad education and the ability to think critically.The Carnegie report states, "This nation and the world need well-informed, inquisitive, open-minded youngpeople who are both productive and reflective, seeking answers to life's most important questions." Thestudent, of course, bears a portion of the responsibility for his or her own education. But, more often itseems students are cranked through the system without time to think or wonder or question theinformation being thrown at them. Ernest L. Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation, writes, "Manyof the nation's colleges and universities are more successful in credentialing than in providing a qualityeducation for their students." Any one university cannot be everything to everbody, but a direction anda goal are important. The report states, "A quality college is guided by a clear and vital mission."Critical thinking is not absent from Western, but the student must dig it out. It is not a required course.Education is the foundation of a free, democratic society. Critical thought is one measure of the quality ofthat education. â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢I Brian Malvey, editor-in chief â€¢ Niels Nokkentved,managing editor Juli Bergstrom, news editor â€¢ Mary Barouh, David Cuillier, Sandra Treece, assistantnews editors "Mark Connolly, opinion editor â€¢ Kristi Moen, sports editor â€¢ Brian Bean, assistantsports editor â€¢ Judy Averill, A CCENT editor Julie McGalliard, Lori Robinson, assistant ACCENT editors Karin Stanton, assistant editor â€¢ Monica White, design editor Jackie Soler, production manager â€¢Dan Tyler, photo editor Chris Baldwin, Mike Carroll, graphic artists Lyle Harris, adviser The Front is theofficial newspaper of Western Washington University.

I magine seeing the smiling face of Pope John Paul II on Sundaymornings saying Latin mass. Cable Vatican? The Vatican needs a cable channel in the United States.Maybe the Vatican could call the channel PopeTV, and give two reports an hour on the Polish Pontiffwith contemporary Catholic New Age artist George Michael Talbot playing guitar music in thebackground. I believe the Pontiff could even give daily sermons from his pulpit in the Vatican. Ofcourse he'd have to change his attire to suit the tastes of pray TV viewers and its addicts. 'TheWillamette Week' in Portland, Oregon, ran a column ou people's favorite tele-vangelists. If the Pope hada cable channel, or even a weekly show, I'm sure many people would write the 'Willamette Week'saying their favorite was John Paul II instead of Tammy Bakker of the PTL (Praise The â€¢Igllll iiiiliiiiiliLord) Club. The Pope has stiff competition from Bakker. She has bodacious ta-tas and cries lots whenasking for "bookoo" bucks for the Christian Broadcasting Network and assorted, sordid ministries. ThePolish Pontiff cannot cry on PopeTV since he is not a big breasted woman in a ministerial positionbegging folks for cash. John Paul disapproves of women in ministerial positions who cry and he mustmaintain a macho Catholic sincerity. Strike one. John Paul also can't wear gallons of Amway make-up or show any compassionate tendencies because people might question his sexuality. The Popecondemned homosexual acts on October 30 and might be considered hypocritical if he wore partydresses and rouge like Bakker. Strike two. Tammy Bakker also sings more insipid Protestant hymnsthan the Pope. John Paul II sings in Polish or Latin, and pray television addicts misinterpreteverything foreign other than "schmuck." The Polish Pontiff could attempt Kyrie by Mr. Mister, butwhy bother? Strike three. Maybe Tammy Bakker is the best televangelist after all. Bodacious ta-tas,pancake mascara, and sincere tears make a better TV evangelist. Maybe the Pope should keep hismouth shut. He doesn't have the star power of a Bakker, or a Gene Scott, or even a Jimmy Swaggart.Maybe if he wore polyester . . . PopeTV. Praise Rome! Made in our own image Campaigns stuck in themud T his fall politics wallowed in mud and money. Campaigning leading up to the Nov. 4 electionswas marked, perhaps marred, by pervasive personal attacks and attempts at character assassination by candidates upon their opponents. Potshots were fired across paid TV and newspaper advertisements more often than not. This image-bashing was even reflected in the cultural mirror of Doonesbury, whereol' Lacey Davenport is running for Congress, staging a hyper-conscious campaign to come acrossdrug-free and clean in the public eye amidst her opponent's mud-slinging. Who lied? Who's on drugs?Who promised what and never came through? Who's a commie sympathizer? Who's got dirty laundry?Who cares? Perhaps too many of us. Some critics have been insightful enough to point out thatcandidates' stands on the issuesâ€” supposedly the real stuff of politicsâ€”have been buried in this TV and newsprint "image" barrage. Perhaps, though, we haven't yet 'fessed up to the realization that we'regetting only what we deserve. We do, after all, have an actor for president. And sad to say he didn't justbop off the screenâ€” we elected him. Ronald Reagan has so succeeded in making image moreimportant than issue that it's appearing suicidal for political hopefuls to not use the same ploy. He hasshown that you can bumble with policies and misrepresent facts and still be popular, as long as youproject a sincere image, offer easy solutions to complex problems and make people feel good aboutthemselves and America. So when candidates this fall chose to attack one another instead of addressthe issues, it was just the seamier side of the image consciousness that pervades our culture. Andwho can we blame for these tacks but ourselves? Day in and night out we indulge in fantastic images.Advertising and fashion models, professional athletes, rock stars and movie heroes like our ownpresident project cultural ideals we too often literally buy into. Fifty-minute dramas and 30- second sales pitches, cut-and-splice spoon-fed TV dinnertime versions of world news lead us to believe someone else will solve life's difficultiesâ€”or we can just change the channel. To demand that our politiciansaddress the issues, we must first take up the issues ourselves. Care and interest and work, on localissues or state and federal campaigns, bind us to their outcomes. Demanding that our electedofficials, debate issues we're wrapping our lives in would naturally follow our own commitment. Littlepatience would be left in an involved electorate for bickering among the candidates about whether therepublican goes to what church, or did the democrat smoke pot in college. Until then, we can count oninstant replays of this autumn's mud bath. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 7 ---------- Â» FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 7 LETTERS BjaanmHaHHBBBB Writer's writing not writing, right? Western Front: Dear Mark Connolly. What's the matter? Is it that you don't knowwhat to write about, or haven't you done any research? I've read two of your recent columns and stillhaven't been presented with any of your ideas or information on the topics about which you write. You write about writing about things without ever writing about them. Instead of listing all the ongoing butforgotten world conflicts that aren't in fashion anymore, why not dig into one of them and give us somenew ideas and information. Keep them alive if they are so important to you and us. You almost wroteabout the El Salvador bombing campaigns of '83-84 in your Oct. 24 column. But you shifted toemphasize the fact that we don't hear about them. You even write about other people writing about them (or not writing about them). Again I wonder, what about them besides the fact that nobody wrote aboutthem? What about their "visciousness or consequences?" Discuss media coverage with otherjournalists. I would rather get more of your insights into what's happening, more straight information. Just the facts m'am. Otherwise you're doing just what you say the rest of the media are doing. Bob ReinerH)f)U, (XIOBKH .*!, WKS7t:/t\ FROM New program aims toward China Jhi)^:Â«cU,cVt(f;Triim;thi':Coordinator clears up China quote Western Front: Your article of Oct. 31, 1986 on the China TeachingSpecialist Program was informative and basically correct. However, 1 would like to bring to yourattention additional information given during the interview. Although the back door to China does exist, if anyone wants to accomplish things in China, the preferred entrance is through proper channels andprocedure. Of course, personal contacts are helpful, but are not the most important way to China. Ifanything "quoted" in the article was not appropriate for relations between Western Washington University and China, I offer my sincere apologies. Also, if anyone would like to discuss the article with me, Iwould be most happy to do so. Andrea I'ram, Coordinator, International Programs Business back doornot program's point Western Front: A serious bit of misunderstanding has been published in TheWestern Front regarding the China Language Program newly created on this campus. The article(page 3, Friday, Oct. 31) suggests that the thrust of the program is to teach students how to usethe backdoor in doing business in China. This is not so. The program is based on the greatest respect for the government and people of the Peoples' Republic of China. The goal of the China LanguageProgram is to help students understand that system, not to change it or to find "backdoors" to access it. Certainly, the social systems of government and business are different in the P.R.C. than in theU.S. In recognizing these differences, we are, in no way, making judgments. The China LanguageProgram goal is to help our students understand China so that they, and later the companies ororganizations they work for, can build on this knowledge for the benefit of both the P.R.C. and the U.S.Such a mutual benefit can only be based on mutual trust and respect. I am truly sorry any otherinference was conveyed through the article in The Western Front. George Drake, Special Asst. to Pres.for International Programs Teaching in China personal and fun Western Front: As a senior at WWUmajoring in East Asian Studies and having spent last year studying in China, I was quite amused to read your article concerning Ms. Andrea Uram and her CTSP program (Oct. 31). From reading the articleit is made quite obvious that rather than potential applicants, it is Ms. Usram who "entertains romanticnotions" concerning China and the program goals. As a guest lecturer to the program in early October. I talked with a group of five people ranging in age and interests who in my impression wanted to teach English in China out of personal interest and yes, Ms.Uram, even fun. My task was to relate myexperience in China to the group and also to answer questions concerning what to expect, etc . . . I didnot encounter a group who was there to "learn the structure of their professions in China" but rather toacquire a minimal understanding of the Chinese language, culture and history. This aspect, I agree, isuseful to the potential teacher of English in China for there won't be neighborhood 7-1 Is manned byEnglish-speaking in Chongsq-ing. But to infer that upon their return from China that the programparticipant will be a "crucial contact" for organizations wishing to do business with China is ludicrous.Granted, the Chinese don't do business as Americans do, rather they do business on their own termspref-errably using the Chinese language. Western's CTSP program "is the only one of its kind in theworld"and due to the fact that it doesn't guarantee much of anything, will most likely be the last one ofits kind in the world.

One popular form of these synthetic drugs is MDMA, better known on the street as "XTC," "ecstasy" or "Adam." MDMA is an analogue or chemicalcousin of the illegal stimulant MDA, a hallucinogenic amphetamine, which has been around since themid 1960's. MDMA is a derivative of oil of sassafras or oil of nutmeg and was first synthesized in 1914by chemists who were going to use it as an appetite suppressant. The drug comes in a powdered formwhich is usually taken orally, but can also be inhaled or absorbed through the gums like cocaine. Itproduces a euphoric state and has been called an aphrodisiac or "hug drug" according to the August1985 issue of Life magazine. A 1985 issue of Psychology Today said the psychiatric community usedMDMA as a therapeutic drug for patients. Evidently it helped patients relax and broke down emotionaldefenses, allowing them to talk freely about their problems. Some people have experienced negative side effects from a session with ecstasy such as muscle tension, nausea, faintness and chills or sweating. ^s f n ^ D x ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ n ^ p s m h e d XTC in 19lg1|^|^^^^^^^^Slkli ^ i l ed substance.

It's in the teeth. It's in the blood. And it's in the media. Lately,television viewers have been inundated with commercials pushing the need for calcium. Magazines carryadvertisements with drawings of women whose spines are collapsing as they age. Food manufacturers are adding calcium to products such as the soft drink Tab, and informing the world about it throughextensive media campaigns. "It (calcium) is the latest thing," Western's University Nutritionist ShellyZyl-stra said. "A few years ago natural was the thing, but all that means is 'without chemicaladditives.'" Most of the publicity focuses on the dangers of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bonesbecome porous and brittle. It affects one in four women over the age of 60, and is caused primarily byprolonged low calcium intake. "Professional nutritionists have known about osteoporosis for years,"Zylstra "Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that theaccount is closed," Zylstra said. The bones of an osteoporosis victim are highly susceptible to fractures, especially the hip bones. The highly publicized humped spine is caused by the collapse of vertebrae.Osteoporosis cannot be cured, but it can be prevented through exercise and sufficient calcium intakethroughout life. "For the average college student, I'd recommend 1000 milligrams (of calcium) a day, even though the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is only 800," Zylstra said. The televisioncommercials, sponsored by such groups as the Dairy Farmers of Washington, tend to stress dairy foodsas sources of calcium. Although calcium can come from a variety of other sources, Zylstra said milkand milk products are the easiest and most efficient. Three cups of milk a day provide about 900milligrams of calcium, and milk is It's just a hype, but it certainly cant hurt/ said. "We've made itpublic, they've manufactured a need. It's a merchandising technique." Although 99 percent of thebody's calcium is stored in the bones, calcium also is needed for muscle contraction including thebeating heart, blood coagulation, and nerve transmission. If daily intake is insufficient to meet theseneeds, the body will withdraw the calcium stored in the bones. usually fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin Dis necessary for the body to absorb calcium. Some people, however, don't like milk. "College studentsprefer to think beer is better for them," Zylstra said. Those who don't like or can't drink milk can findcalcium in non-dairy foods as well. A three-ounce serving of sardines with bones, for example, has 372milligrams of calcium. A half cup of bokchoy lettuce has 126 milligrams. Blackstrap molasses has 137milligrams of calcium per tablespoon. A whiskey and soda has no calcium. The calcium content of somefoods can be misleading, however. Oxalic acid, present in many high calcium greens, binds with calcium and makes it unusable. "There's all that lovely calcium and it isn't available to the human being," Zyl-"They go out holding hands with a calcium molecule," she said. Nicotine also decreases calciumretention. Calcium supplements are one option for increasing calcium intake. Zylstra recommendscalcium carbonate, available as an ingredient in antacids or in "generic" form. Calcium carbonatecontains 40 percent *Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that the account is closed/ stra said. Spinach, chard, and beet greens are high in oxalic acid. Caffeinealso affects the body's retention of calcium. Linda Massey of Washington State University said astudy conducted there showed caffeine causes excess excretion of calcium in the urine. Two cups ofcoffee, she said, causes the loss of approximately 30 milligrams of calcium. To counteract the loss, she recommended adding 100 milligrams of calcium to the diet. Consuming an excess of fiber can alsointerfere with calcium absorption, but Zylstra said that is not much of a problem in this country. "You'dhave to be mainlining bran," she said. A bigger problem in this country is excess protein. Zylstra saidthe average American consumes two to three times what is necessary. Waste products generated bytoo much protein draw calcium out of the body. calcium by weight, and is fairly cheap. "A lot of peopleget calcium lactate. I don't know why, it's very expensive."Zylstra said. It also contains only 13 percent calcium by weight. Calcium Gluconate, another expensive supplement, contains only 9 percent.Calcium is flavorless, and easy to add to food. This has led some food manufacturers to capitalize onpublic awareness of osteoporosis by adding calcium to their products. "It's just a hype, but it certainlycan't hurt," Zylstra said of the added calcium. She said it would be nearly impossible to ingest too muchcalcium, but it is easy to overdose on vitamin D. She said it could become a problem if too manyproducts are fortified with vitamin D in addition to calcium. Calcium is cheap, Zylstra said. If calcium-fortified products cost more "1 will come out of my office and start screaming," she said. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - ACCENT, page 4 ---------- 4 ACCENT WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, N( Women express experiences in Labyrinth By Lori Robinsonassistant editor Labyrinth editors currently are accepting writing and a r t i s t i c submissions, whilehoping to find funding so the magazine can be published. - However, Jean Rodgers, editor of the bi-annual magazine by women for women, said she is confident the magazine will come out, "one way orthe other." The Women's Center began publishing Labyrinth as a newsletter. In the past five years ithas become more of a representation of the Women's Center, and less of a newsletter, Rodgers said.This change of format allows the increased opportunity for women to express themselves in print media,she said. "Women are really under-represented in the published arts." Submissions for Labyrinth varyfrom issue to issue, Rodgers said. She said she would like to publish a variety of women's experiences,from the political to the personal level, anything that concerns women's artistic expressions. "So far,everything that's come in has been poems," Rodgers said, but she said she would like to see Labyrinthcontain poetry, short pieces of fiction, photographs and graphics. ;; "I'd like to leave it pretty broad,"she said, but, "I wouldn't want to print anything detrimental to women." The magazine doesn't acceptsubmissions from men. The magazine was allocated money by the Associated Students in the past,but last year the Activities Council discontinued their budget. The AS discontinued direct funding forLabyrinth because of reorganization of policies and allocations, said Brent Arndt, AS vice-president forActivities. He said the last year's Activities Council wanted Labyrinth to find other funding, such as ad v e r t i s i n g , bef pre they approached the council for funds. Like other AS organizations Labyrinthmust go before the council to request funding for: projects. "They (Labyrinth) could go to the ActivitiesCouncil to ask for funds, through the Women's Center," Arndt said. Funding is possible, "it just dependson the decisions of the council," he said. The magazine editors are trying to find funding through other outlets, including soliciting ads and organizing fundraisers. Rodgers was selected as editor in thebeginning of fall quarter, partially because she explains, "no one else volunteered for the job.'' Rodgerssaid she has been interested in editing Labyrinth for some time, through her experiences as acontributor for the magazine in the past. She currently is a part-time student taking a creative writingclass, and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Rodgers said her work as the editor has allowedher to utilize her degree, as well as train her in editing. The Women's Center is accept-j i j j j i i p ^^Â«^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â§WÂ§M^iiMXS^^ JEAN RODGERS ing the submissions for Labyrinth, and they are"starting to trickle in," said Tami Brecken-ridge, coordinator of the Women's Center. Submissiondeadline is Dec. 2, for the issue to be published early winter quarter. Women interested in contributing to Labyrinth can contact the Women's Center, Viking Union 211, or leave their pieces in an envelopeoutside the door. People interested in having their submissions returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. "Women are really welcome to send in stuff, that's what it's there for," Rodgerssaid. Pu b l i c a t i o n in Jeopardy, Western's annual literary magazine, can be a good way for writers and artists to get exposure and experience. Connie McCollum, this year's Jeopardy editor, said theexperience can give writers a feel for what it's like to submit works, make revisions and see the finalworks in print. Last year, McCollum submitted an excerpt from her fiction novel, "Rain-daughters." Aftersome revisions the excerpt was published in Jeopardy. "Now, I can see all kinds of places I couldredevelop and re-examine," she said. "The errors really glare." She said Jeopardy gives new writers achance to have their work reviewed critically by other writers and the general public. Jeopardy's editors are available to help Writers make revisions on their submissions. The literary magazine, funded by the Associated Students, is distributed free throughout Western's campus. Other universities, such asWashington State University, exchange their literary publications for copies of Jeopardy which ispublished each spring. Besides publishing fiction, non-fiction, poetry and prose, Jeopardy acceptsgraphic and photographic works. McCollum said she is interested in using more graphics andphotographs. "In our choice of paper we're being real careful to choose paper that will reproduce artwell," she said. In the past, Jeopardy has published few student works. McCollum said this may bebecause most students either don't know about the publication or they think it's only for Englishgraduates. McCollum, a Falrhaven student, said she's trying to increase the number of students whohave works published in Jeopardy by informing more students about how to submit works. She's alsoencouraging students from Western's sister university the University of El Salvador, to submit works.Written pieces from El Salvador will be translated into English with the writer's permission. Jeopardy has accepted work from all over the United States and Canada. "As editor of Jeopardy I feel we can no longer represent such a small part of the world. I'd like to do a special issue that features work from ElSalvador," she said. Written submissions should be typed. All submissions should include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Submissions can be sent to Jeopardy, Humanities 350. Deadline isJan. 15. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - ACCENT, page 5 ---------- BER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT ACCENT 5 ifiP^ By Lynn Baldwin staff reporter s* t ^u This minute itcould be-:; i5iiipIIII||^liiBiiii*K" !iiPiiiBSiiiSiiBÂ«iii â€¢iiiBlilii^ll^lliii â€¢lÂ»llli^lilBiÂ«Â»iSSÂ«Â«^lililiÂ»ilPiiiBlÂ« - â€¢ - â€¢ ' ^ c k e V i o r - p u t t i r i g^ from c l i e n t s , ^ I've been workmg ^ f e 1 ffiTaka^M^ ion t l l i ^ n write.

He will perform tonight with pianoaccompaniment and tomorrow with the Western wind ensemble. "Hemke is clearly one of the bestconcert saxophonists in the world," Wayne Gorder, Western wind ensemble conductor said. Hemke, aprofessor at Northwestern University in Illinois, studied at the National Conservatory of Music in Pariswhere he became the first American to win first prize in saxophone. Author of several books, Hemkealso has recorded two solo records and has performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.Saxophonists can even buy "Hemke" reeds in music stores. The majority of the soloist's expenses arebeing paid by La Voz, a reed-making company and Selmer, a musical instrument company. Gordersaid expenses for guest soloists usually vary between $1,000 and $3,000. Hemke arrived yesterdayto practice with Western's wind ensemble and Lisa Bergman, Western pianist. Tonight at 8, Hemke willgive a solo recital with Bergman in the PAC Concert Hall. He will perform with the wind ensembletomorrow at 8 p.m. The wind ensemble will perform Ingolf Dahl's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone andWind Orchestra." In addition, the wind ensemble will perform music by Gustav Hoist, Percy Grainger,Charles Ives, Charles Gounod and contemporary Czech composer Zdenek Lukas. Tickets are $4general and $2 for students. Proceeds will go to the Western Music Department scholarship fund.Puppeteer presents classics By Jerry Tegarden staff reporter Frankenstein, The Hound of theBaskervilles, Hamlet and King Arthur are part of the Clay Martin's Puppet Theatre at tonight's MamaSundays. Martin, 34, is a graduate of George Washington University in Dramatic Arts. He first came toSeattle 10 years ago to try his luck at acting. After two years Martin decided to give it up and becomea Seattle stockbroker. "I'd finally had it. I was no longer going to try to make it as an actor," Martin said. "I was the kind of actor who always wanted to do all the parts. One day I discovered I could," he said.Two months later he decided to try a production of "Sir George and the Dragon." To save the hassles of a full stage production he built a puppet stage, made some puppets and took his show to the Pike Place Market. After his first show he counted his tips and found $12. Armed with the knowledge that he couldmake a Jiving playing the streets he quit his stockbroking job. Martin said playing on the streets isn'talways easy. At the 1980 Pike Place Street Fair his stage almost was set on fire by an inebriated critic."Luckily a friend who was there discouraged him," he said. Four years ago, while performing at a party in Saugetuck, Michigan, he met Burr Tilstrom, the creator of Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Martin said Till-stromtook an immediate interest in his work and invited him to his workshop. "It was sort of a master's classright there," he said. Tillstrom hired him as a technician and puppet-maker for several television specialson WMAQ-TV Chicago. Martin's puppetry also was featured on the CBS Morning News in 1982. Martinperforms a series of short pieces in his show including the 325-year-old classic "Punch and Judy." "Iplay lots of versions of Punch; Punch with Judy, Punch and the Policeman, Punch and the Hangman and others," Martin said. He does all the voices for his plays. Punch's voice is done with the aid of aswazzle. A swazzle is a reed held in the mouth, which gives Punch his characteristic squeaky voice.The other part of Martin's show is a 45-minute play about King Arthur. His adaptation of the storycontains 13 characters and each has a specific personality conveyed as much by voice as appearance.The performance is free and begins at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Coffeeshop. Comedic 'End of the World' sparks laughs and discussion Old Main Theater may explode with laughter when the play "End of theWorld" hits the stage. "End of the World,"by Arthur Kopit is the theater/dance department's fallproduction. Dennis Catrell, chairman of the department, will direct the comedy. The play is set inStanford, Conn. Micheal Trent, played by Sean Robinson, is a playwright. He is approached by PhilipStone, a wealthy industrialist played by Chuck Harper, and is commissioned to write a play on nuclearproliferation. "The topic of it may not be attractive but the treatment of the topic is comedic," Catrellsaid. It's a play containing comedy and mystery, he said. The show follows Trent through his troubleswriting and researching the play, Catrell said. "We see what kinds of impact the city and militaryexperts have on Trent's personal life." "It deals with a topic of current public concern, but it's not apropaganda play either," Catrell said. The play deals with a question that pertains to all of us, he said. Following the performance will be a discussion about the play. The play opens at 7:30 p.m. . Nov. 12 in the Old Main Theater and will run through Nov. 15. On Sunday, Nov. 16, the prefor-mance will be at 2:15 p.m. Admission is $4.50 general and $3.50 students/seniors. 'Til Tuesday provides surprising sinceritymusic By Bill Freeberg staff reporter Aimee Mann and 'Til Tuesday survive the sophomore slump anddepart from angst to honesty on their new album, "Welcome Home." By expanding her vocal andstylistic range. Mann communicates a sincerity that was lacking in the pain-filled songs on 'TilTuesday's debut album, "Voices Carry." Til Tuesday begins the album with "What About Love."This song maintains the moody style of their previous work. The change in their style occurs lyrically. When Mann embraces the verse, "Living in silence/Living by the book/You can make it a science/ Living on onegood look," listeners know they're in for a change. The best song on "Welcome Home" is the tear-jerking, country flavored ballad, "Coming Up Close." On the song, Joey Pesce accents Mann's vocalswith a charming keyboard arrangement. "Coming Up Close" cuts deeper into the real Mann, showing aperson behind all the pain. She doesn't scratch the surface of her pain, but digs into her soul and singswith heartbreaking honesty. These two cuts toss any preconceived image of the band as gloommongers. 'Til Tuesday proves it isn't as limited as once percieved by critics. "On Sunday" also presentsthe listener with a refined vocal arrangement. This song deals with the redemptive grace of a lovingrelationship. "On Sunday" moves Mann from pain's center to the person who is comforting the hurt lover,a bold lyrical move that proves successful. Side one ends with another ballad, "David Denies." Mannonce again proves she has a vocal range, and sings in the higher registers. Mann fills the song withtouching ironies about love and the frailties of relationships. Side two maintains the lyrical andmusical consistency of the album. "Angels May Fall" juxtaposes the lushness of Roxy Music and theoff-beat subtleties of the ballads from the Beatles"'Sgt. Pepper" album. Producer Rhett Davies, who hasworked with Roxy Music, elaborately fills the mix with rushes of synthesizers. The band has also grownstylistically. Joey Pesce's keyboards and synthesizers create haunting backgrounds for most of theballads, and Robert Holmes gets to loosen uponguitarevery once in a while. Holmes even belts out a fewmoody licks in "Lover's Day." Davies and 'Til Tuesday have created an album that should entrench theband in the charts. "Welcome Home" is a welcome change of pace from a band most people expectedless from. 'Til Tuesday has come home with an album that could be considered one of the closetclassics of 1986.

To demonstrate the need for a stage renovation and present quality entertainment, theMount Baker Theatre Committee has invited the orchestra to perform at the theatre, Nov. 9, at 3 p.m.The Mount Baker Theatre, which was built in 1927, is listed on the National Register of HistoricalPlaces. The landmark needs a larger stage so it can accomodate performing groups such as thesymphony orchestra, she said. She said the cost for the renovation is quoted at $1.2 million andthe money would be raised through matching grants from major foundations. The symphony, conductedby Nicolas Bussard, will perform Beethoven's Edgmont Overture, Ippolitov-Ivanov's Caucasian Sketchesand Variations for Orchestra by Edward Rutsch-man, a Western music professor. "'Variations forOrchestra' is a challenging 17-minute piece that gives sections of the orchestra a chance to show off,"said Rutschman, who serves as graduate program advisor and music theory coordinator at Western.Appearing with the symphony will be Seattle Symphony's violin soloist Linda Melsted. She will befeatured in Tchaikovsky's 'Concerto for Violin.' Tickets for the performance are on sale from 1 to 5 p.m.,weekdays at the Mount Baker Theatre Committee office, or at Box Office Northwest. Prices are $5, $4and $3. Local bands converge on album By David Einmo staff reporter Everything from rock to reggaewill be represented on Music Connection's compilation album, "Once in a Lifetime." The album, which is scheduled for release in December, will feature 10 Whatcom County bands. Dave Lewis, thecoordinator of Music Connection, along with John Rants, part-owner of TCD Productions have beenplanning the album since last May. Music Connection is a non-profit o r g a n i z a t i o n for aidingmusicians. Lewis and Rants originally planned a concert with 33 bands performing for the public at apark in Bellingham last spring. Lewis said the bands were going to be judged against each other, andthe winners would appear on a compilation album. The Parks Department, however, cancelled theshow because it feared security problems, Lewis said. But the Up and Up Tavern provided a stage forthe musicians, when the owners invited Lewis and the bands to play at the club. "They make a realhabit of helping out local musicians," Lewis said. The tavern hosted five to six bands each Thursday,Friday and Saturday night for two weeks in September and October. Ten of the bands from those shows appear on the album, which was recorded live at the Up and Up. "Once in a Lifetime" features thefoursome e.e. penguin; two solo vocalists, Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr; country bands Suzy and theQ's, and Wild Country Vocal Band; reggae rockers The Tourists; jazz from Jade Waller; and three rockand roll bands, The Reaction, Ed Knight, and Tony Branco. Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr, who metafter the recording, have since begun working together. Lewis said he hopes to make the concertsand album an annual event. He said next year he would like to reach an agreement with the city ofBellingham to incorporate an outdoor festival during the city's July 4 celebration. Lewis said he wouldlike to record another compilation album during the pending summer performances. Music Connectionalso assists bands by helping them get concerts, connecting band members with other musicians and providing workshops. "It's just musicians helping other musicians," Lewis said. He said the theMusic Connection album will be available in local music stores.

Wilcox also publishes the Wilcox Report, a newsletter on the American left and right. In 1965 he established the Wilcox Collection on Contemporary Political Movements, in the Kenneth SpencerResearch Library at the University of Kansas. It is one of the largest of its kind, he said. His publications and collection are used primarily by libraries and researchers, he said. Wilcox said he was alwayscurious about belief systems. "I grew up in a very intense intellectual family where people discussedthings," he said. "I used to hear people talk about these political abstractions." His involvement inpolitical movements began when he was 17, with such activities as sit-ins and Socialist Labor meetings. He enrolled at the University of Kansas in 1961, and continued his involvement in left-of-centerorganizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1966 he dropped out of campus leftistorganizations. "All of a sudden the student movement started to get violent," he said. Increased drug use among student activists also disturbed him. Although he no longer belonged to these organizations, he continued going to the meetings; He also began attending meetings of right-wing organizations, and became interested in how people come to their beliefs. "What people believe is not so important to meas why," he said. The "why" will be the topic of his speech at Western. Wilcox said he has come toknow about 400 "ideolouges," or members of extremist groups. "They're not bad people. That's just astrue of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher.

With most political groups he can walk in, listen, and leave, he said. "With religious groupsthat works the first time, but after that they're all over you," he said. Wilcox^said he generally has notrouble getting members of extremist groups to talk to him, generally by using "very effective" basicinterviewing techniques. His collection catalogues roughly 7,000 groups in the far right and far left. 1hey're not bad people. That's just as true of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher.} "I try tounderstand them, I don't try to hate them," he said. Wilcox conducts most of his research from inside agroup. "If you really want to understand (a group) you have to let yourself get immersed in them," hesaid. This technique works, Wilcox said, but "sometimes it's been kind of embarrassing." For instance,"Once I was at a meeting of the John Birch Society, and without realizing it I began using some leftistcliches." Investigating cult religious groups this way can be more diffi- "Some are pretty decent groupsand some are crazy as hell," he said. Wilcox said he believes even the craziest of these groups has aright to exist. They contribute to the enormous political diversity which is a major strength of thiscountry, he said. They also encourage thought, and examination of beliefs, he said. "I don't think it hurts anyone to hear a Nazi or a Communist or whatever," Wilcox said.

Page 10 Tuesday,April 30,1996 Volume 96 Issue 7 WESTERN FRONT Western Washington University Nice shoesBellingham, Washington Problem election has AS concerned Out-of-state students add diversity ByAmy Stering The Western Front Though only a small percentage of Western's students come fromout of Washington state, they help provide a diverse student body. Director of Admissions KarenCopetas said admission decisions are made by looking at various categories: incoming freshmen,transfer students, graduate students and former Western students. Because Western receives arelatively small percentage of out-of-state freshman applicants, standards for all freshman Â§admissions do not differ. Copetas said Admissions received about 5,300 freshman applicants this fallfrom August Wegener Washington state compared to only 700 out-of-state freshman applicants. "Wedon't have to take residency into consideration for freshman admission," Copetas said. "We want toproduce a fairly well-rounded class and would like to have some out-of-state representation. We feel likethat enhances everybody's education." The admission process becomes more selective with transferstudents from out of state, Copetas added. She explained that higher education in Washington has anagreement between the community colleges and baccalaureate institutions. The agreement providesaccess to students who go through a community college, earn an associate degree and then transferto a public university. Transfer students have priority if they are a Washington resident, coming from aWashington community college with a completed associate of arts degree or 90 transferable credits."Historically, we have been able to admit over 95 percent of our associate's holders in that group,"Copetas said. Space for out-of-state students is limited because 75 to 80 transfer spaces are takenby Washington state students. Once out-of-state students are admitted, the shock of non-residenttuition kicks in. Non-residents pay $2,763 per quarter compared to Washington resident's tuition of$841 (assuming 10-18 credits are taken and including all mandatory fees). Senior August Wegener, from Portland, Ore., said out-of-state students endure not only costly tuition, but also expensive phone billsand expenses associated with traveling to and from home. Wegener said coming to Western was the"best investment I could have made. This experience is worth it and I wouldn't change it for the world." A few activities this summer and in the fall helped these students adjust, said Anna Carey, assistantdirector of New Student Programs/Family Outreach. A mailing in July gave students information aboutarriving early to residence halls, shipping packages and offered advice about different ways to travelto Bellingham. Carey said some aren't aware that Bellingham has an airport, or that they could arrive by Amtrak. New Student Programs/Family Outreach also provided a dinner for out-of-state students. Thedinner served as an opportunity to meet other students in the same situation. Although thesestudents don't have a sense about familiar places and things, Carey said, "They have the advantage ofseeing Washington with new eyes. We live in a beautiful area. It's a great opportunity to locate in theNorthwest." Kristin Rehmann, a sophomore from Anchorage, Alaska, said she's had a positiveexperience, especially with the residence and admissions staff members. Both Rehmann and Wegeneragreed that although their entire support systems are out of Washington, the experience of going toWestern is well worth it. "Out-of-state students help to provide a diverse educational experience,"Copetas said. By Alisha Holdener The Western Front John Herd's no-show, a nearly biased reviewboard and an emotional response to negative campaigning procedures made for an excitingAssociated Students Board of Directors meeting Monday night. Herd, who is appealing the ban on hiscampaigning in the north end of campus, did not show up for the hearing. President Lauren Russellcommented that Herd has been informed of the meeting's importance and that they shouldcontinue without him. The board determined that only two of the seven board members were unbiased with regards to Herd's appeal. A subcommittee to hear the appeal was comprised of the uninvolvedmembers, Naomi Dillon, AS Secretary/Treasurer and Cameron Wong, VP for Student Life. Dillon saidshe wasn't sure what a vote for Herd's appeal would mean. "The elections are over. A new election isabout as likely as a clean one," Dillon said in a phone interview. If they vote against Herd, no furtheraction will be taken. "It's a moot point now because the elections are over," Liz Smith, VP for ExternalAffairs, said. "The system is such where everyone has the opportunity to bring up grievances. It's up tothe system to find validity and act upon them," said Jack Smith, Director of Viking Union and boardadvisor. The AS Review will print an apology for running names and photos in the wrong order. Futureissues involving AS elections will be under control of the election coordinator to avoid similar SeeMeeting, page 3 KIRO's Taylor visits sister mentor program By Erica Christensen The Western FrontJoyce Taylor, Western alumna and co-host of KIRO-TV's 7 Live, spoke to students from the campusSister to Sister mentor program Friday, sharing her stories and experiences as an A f r i c a n Am e r i c a n woman at Western and in the work force. Taylor, a broadcast comm u n i c a t i o nsmajor who graduated in 1984, said there were probably only 10 to 15 African Americans on campuswhen she was here. "There were so few students of color that I don't really view my experience as being different because of my color," Taylor said. "There weren't really enough students of color to be thatorganized and separate." Front/Aaron Dahl Joyce Taylor addresses the Sister to Sister program. Taylorsaid she was lucky her twin sister attended Western at the same time. She said she was pleased tosee so many faces of color, and the African-American women here are fortunate to have this kind ofsisterhood. Taylor said while she was here, broadcast communication professor Alden Smith was"almost like my dad away from home â€” a white man in the b r o a d c a s t department who probably had maybe three black students the whole time I was here." Smith said Taylor had a personalitythat bubbled. "She had a fine voice, enthusiasm and a wish to get involved," Smith said. Naomi Dillon, a senior journal-ism major, introduced Taylor.

No arrests were made. A 253-acre timber sale, about 35 miles east of Portland, has been the target of protests and lawsuits since 1987.

The boy is accused of killing Denton Hendricksof Lynden in a gang-related dispute near Lynden City Park on March 6. The Whatcom CountyProsecutor's office says it wants to try the boy in adult court. He would be the youngest person in thecounty to face a murder charge. The night before Hendricks was slain, prosecutors say the 13-year-oldwas shooting at cars, pointing a rifle at other youths and threatening to kill anyone who told on him.Instead of three and a half years, the teenager could face 20 years in prison if convicted. NationalAverage gas price up 14 cents per gallon from last year LOS ANGELESâ€”Gas prices continue to soar,but the end may be near. Oil analyst Trilby Lundberg said gas prices jumped nearly five cents over thepast two weeks. The good news is gas prices may be leveling off after a wave of hikes caused by risingdemand and crude oil costs. Lundberg said in some midwestern cities, prices are unchanged or arealready falling. The average price of gas as of Friday, according to the Lundberg survey, is just over$1.36 a gallon. That compares to $1.39 on April 12, and is 14 cents higher than a year ago. California isthe state taking the worst hit. Self-serve gas prices increased in the Golden State by 18 cents per gallonover the past two weeks. Man who watched Jordan murdered may face death LUMBERTON,N.C.â€”The death penalty could still be in Larry Demery's future. He pleaded, guilty in the killing ofMichael Jordan's father, but Monday, a judge refused to strike capital punishment as a possiblesentence. Demery admitted he watched as James Jordan was shot to death on a North Carolinaroadside. He testified that his life-long friend Daniel Green pulled the trigger. That testimony helpedconvict Green, who was sentenced to life in prison. Demery's lawyers argue their client should not suffermore than Green.

The bus reportedly left the city Of Tacna, in southernPeru, Saturday afternoon. It was carrying merchants northeast toward the Andes mountains, and crashed about two hours later. The cause was not immediately apparent. Such crashes are common onPeru's winding mountain roads, and are usually blamed on negligent driving. Compiled from theAssociated Press by Front reporter Amy Scribner Taylor, from page 1 Meeting, from page 1 "I considerMs. Taylor a role model in a field where so few women of color, let alone people of color, are present,and she inspires me as well as others, I'm sure, to not just survive, but succeed," Dillon said.........: .After Taylor graduated from Western she moved to Spokane, where she was a weather forecaster anda news reporter. While she was there a television station in North Carolina called and offered her a jobanchoring the news and doing the weather. She packed her bags for the better-paying job and said itwas the best experience of her life. "[It] was the first time in my whole life I had a black doctor. I didn'tknow there were black lawyers and doctors and politicians ... I'd never seen that here." After two-and-a-half years she moved back to Seattle, where she worked at KING-TV for five years before moving to...KIRO, where she has been since 1993._ Taylor said she got into the television business because ofaffirmative action, but , it was used against her when people said the only reason she got in wasbecause of her color. "Affirmative action gets you in the door, but it doesn't keep you your job," Taylorsaid. Taylor has interviewed big names, including Newt Gingrich, Hilary Clinton, Christopher Darden,Vice President Al Gore and her favorite, Michael Jordan. problems. "The board recognized there was aproblem, but there was no material impact on the campaigns," Liz Smith said. Several grievanceswere dismissed on technicalities because the election code did not address specific issues. , "It's avery metamorphic document (the election code)," Smith said. "It's changing constantly, but if we didn't have one, elections would be chaotic." Unfortunately, mishaps in the election code are unforseeable."As things come up, the besf we can do is make changes for next year," Smith said. Prior to themeeting, Jennifer Boespflug, VP for Activities, made reference to crossing out Herd's face on the ASReview. She said, "I realized that was a pretty dumb thing to do, but it wasn't against election codes."Boespflug commented that it wasn't malicious and the Review was only up for two' hours. Emotionsroared at the end of the meeting when Dillon asked Boespflug if she had vandalized photos of Dillon. "Itwasn't something I planned on doing," Boespflug said. "I just had a lot of nervous energy." Dillon saidshe could have filed a grievance but until confirmed the allegations with Boespflug, the claims were onlyhearsay. "I would like a formal apology," Dillon said. â€¢r" Herrfequ^st was followed by anuncomfortable silence. "It was a stupid thing to do. I'm honestly sorry," Boespflug responded on .theverge of tears. Tensions rose as other "members claimed unprofessionalism of the entire electionprocess. "I feel like a volcano ready to blow," Jo Anderson, VP for Academics, said. "I don't think we'rereflecting what the board should reflect." "Instead of sitting here and bitching about it, we need, to fix it," Leslie Keller, VP for Internal Affairs, said assertively.

About 60 people came to the Viking Union Main Lounge on April23 to hear him list the grim statistics concerning the chemicals U.S. farmers use to kill insects,weeds, and crop-destroying fungi. "As a journalist I can't help but notice that there are gaps in thecoverage of 'environmental racism,'" said Britney Bartlett, a Western journalism student with aconcentration in environmental studies. Bartlett defines "environmental racism" as the exposure of ethnic minority communities to harmful pollutants. This exposure often goes unnoticed because, as agroup, their voices often remain unheard. According to "No Grapes," a video produced by the UnitedFarm Workers of America about the dangers of the heavy pesticides used on the grape fields ofCalifornia, 300 million pounds of pesticides are released from the air in that state every year. A third ofthese are known to cause cancer. Most of the pesticide residue clinging to the crops is oil-based,cannot be easily washed off and can easily be absorbed through the skin of the migrant farm workerswho tend the fields. It's no wonder that the rate of job-related illness among these workers is the highestin the state. One might assume that pesticide use is a problem limited to workers directly exposed tothem but, according to "No Grapes," everyone can be affected. When pesticides are sprayed from theair, only a small portion actually lands on the crops and may remain there in the oily residue. The restis carried off by the wind to contaminate neighboring communities and seep into underground watersupplies. According to research compiled by the Front/Jesse Hamilton Environmental Working Group, millions of children in the United States receive 35 percent of a lifetime's dose of carcinogens by theage of five. Martinez said such research supports the idea of the increasing rate of cancer amongAmericans as being directly related to the increase of pesticide use by our country's farmers. Prior toWorld War II, only one out of every 25 Americans was diagnosed with cancer. In the late 1940's, whenwidespread use of heavy pesticides became the norm, the cancer rate increased to one out everyeight. This rate increased again in the '80's to one out of every five. "Cancer is not normal, " said aninfuriated Martinez. "Why are we not up in arms about this?" When it comes to testing for safe chemical tolerance levels, he said, the government doesn't seem to make an effort to study the long-term effectsof chronic exposure (the continual exposure to a chemical over time or the exposure to many chemicalsduring a lifetime). "If you're diagnosed with cancer 10 years from now, you're on your own, saidMartinez about governmental apathy toward the millions of Americans chronically exposed topesticides. According to an August 1995 article in Ms. Magazine, evidence supports a link between theuse of some pesticides and non- Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, soft tissue sarcoma, and cancers ofthe brain, lung, breast, skin, stomach, and prostate. The risk of pesticide exposure is especiallydangerous for children and infants. Because they're smaller, they ingest more contaminants pound for pound than an adult and their underdeveloped detoxifying systems aren't strong enough to combatthem. Cancer isn't the only threat to them, however. Some pesticides contain neurotoxins that canpoison their underdeveloped brains and central nervous systems. "The levels of chemical toleranceare not based in science but in politics," said Martinez when he explained why the research data needed to cause widespread concern and to motivate the government in decreasing the levels of chemicaltolerance is often missing or unavailable. The United States is not only the biggest user of pesticides;it's also the biggest exporter. According to the Ms. Magazine article, the sales generated from exporting pesticides last year totaled 2.4 billion dollars-and a third of these had been banned or restricted tolimited use for surpassing even our lenient chemical tolerance levels. These illegal pesticides mayfind their way back to the United States, however.

EthnicStudent Center sponsors activities, including dance, luau By Erica Christensen The Western FrontTraditional dancing, a fashion show and a luau are just a few of the festivities Western's Asian PacificIslander Student Union and the Ethnic Student Center have planned for their May celebration ofN Asianand Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The event, titled Past, Present and Future Coming Full Circle, issponsored by the 12 clubs that make up APSU. All of the groups are very excited about sharing theircultures with the Bellingham and Western communities. The month kicks off with APSU's annual fashion show where they will model traditional as well as modern dress. Western's Hui O Hawaii club has beenbusy planning a luau and hula show, featuring the Seattle Hula Dance Troop. Shane Bunda, a juniorand recently elected Associated Students vice president of diversity, is a member of Western's Hui OHawaii club. He said the group has been working all quarter to put the event together. "I'm excited toshare some of my culture with my Bellingham peers," Bunda said. Fred Chung, a Westernsophomore, is a member of the Korean American Student Association. One event he has helpedorganize is Kid's Day. Chung said their goal is to teach the children of non-Korean families a little abouttheir culture through fables, Tae Kwon Do, folk and fan dancing and traditional cuisine. "Many of themdon't get exposed to it because of the people they live with," Chung said. Several of the members ofKASA are adopted and, in the past, club members have continued their relationships with local childrenlong after Kid's Day. API Month will also feature many guest lecturers, including Ronald Takaki, anauthor and a professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. In his book, "ADifferent Mirror: A History of Multicultural America," Takaki says that "by sometime in the 21st century,most Americans will trace their â€¢ descent to Africa, Asia, the Hispanic world, the Pacific Islands,Arabia â€” almost anywhere but white Europe."

"This ripple effect of the wings of one butterfly can change the tide in even the smallest ways," author Gloria Steinem said. People demanded support of affirmative action,immigrant worker rights, women's reproductive freedom, civil rights for people of color and support forlesbian/gay and bisexual rights. Front/Bobbie Egan Gina Cumbo makes a banner representing Westernstudents. "Call it bold political strategy; call it risky; but definitely call it historic," said Patricia Ireland,president of the National Organization for Women. "Participants are pioneers of political change, stakingout new horizons in this decade the same way the 4,000 people who first marched on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1977 and the 50,000 people who first rallied in support of abortion rights in1986." Speakers at the march included actor Danny Glover, Dolores Huerta of the United Farm Workers of America, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow Coalition. "This is one hell of a butterflygtoday," Steinem said. The story goes that when a butterfly moves its wings, the breeze that iscreated from that butterfly will change the tide of the ocean. Leaders of NOW, who organized themarch, estimate about 50,000 people the 1.7-mile march along the San Francisco Bay waterfront toCrissy Field. As is the case in crowd counts, discrepancies exist â€” the U.S. Park Police estimated13,000. Western's Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Alliance and the Women's Center helped to sponsor 24 students to attend the march. â€ž For LGBA coordinator Juanita Juchau, being around thousands oflike-minded people gave hope for the future. "I have lots of personal issues that are anti-right," Juchausaid. "I'm gay. I'm a single mom. I'm on welfare. I have all these issues that are related specifically to the march, so to be around a lot of people who feel the same way I do felt good, especially when I amconstantly bombarded by the right. "The right is everywhere I go. There are all these people telling mewhat I am is wrong. To be around thousands of people who feel the same way I do was just soempowering, so perfect. To think there are all these people who think like me ... you just don't get thathere," she said. The event's key purpose, according to NOW officials, was to create momentum for thedefeat of anti-affirmative action initiatives headed for the November ballot. Similar ballot measures arecirculating in six states, with California paving the way by already eliminating programs that supportracial diversity and women in state education, employment and contracting. The actual phrase,"affirmative action," was first used in President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Executive Order, which requiresfederal contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and thatemployees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, color or origin." Californiapolicy makers are pushing to put the California Civil Rights Initiative on the ballots for voter approval inNovember. The initiative states that "the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferentialtreatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in theoperation of public employment, public education or contracting. Doug Honig, Public Education Directorfor the American Civil Liberties Union, said Washington has no current initiatives to end affirmativeaction. "Political activists may pick this up if it passes in California, but currently there is no threat toour state," Honig said. Opponents of the CCRI charge that the initiative would apply even in cases where applicants are equally qualified and there has been ongoing discrimination against women or people ofcolor. Clause C, could allow for discrimination in employment, admittance, contracting, wages andpromotion for any reason, depending on the interpretation of "reasonably necessary." "For the first timein this country, an extremist, ultra-right wing has taken control of one of the two major centrist political parties," Steinem said. "The entire country is focused on California ... because you will determine the fate of affirmative action for this whole country by your vote."

The Hensons, who are lesbians, took the same last name."(Camp Sister Spirit) serves as a crossroads, a nexus where people can go when they're wishing toleave something behind," said Tara Herivel, of the Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Alliance, and co-organizerof the trip. Camp Sister Spirit, founded by the Hensons, lies in the small .southern Mississippi town ofOvett. The Hensons' mission is to bring feminist education and women's culture to the South and tohelp their neighbors and women seek shelter from violence. Coordinators for the delegation, RobinSponseller of the Legal Information Center and Herivel met the Hensons last April when the Hensonsspoke of their lives and terrors at Western's Take Back the Night. The Hensons invited Western studentsto visit the camp during spring break. "I'll never forget (the Hensons') speech. They were the mosthonest, loving women I had ever heard," Herivel said. Despite their endless efforts to help theircommunity, the Hensons have been terrorized since the camp opened its doors three years ago. Thegrassroots camp has been the target of homophobic hatred led by the religious right and Mississippi forFamily Values. Photo courtesy of Robin Sponseller Camp Sister Spirit delegates are: Brenda Henson,Wanda Henson; back row (left to right) Mara Eaton, front row (left to right) Ruth Robin Sponseller, TaraHerivel, Holbrook, Pam Spangler, Marci Aimee Wiseman, Jane Hinton, - Larsson and Michelle Morrissey. The violence against the Hensons has ranged from a dog shot and slung over their mailbox to bombthreats. On Valentine's Day, someone rolled an unidentified car into a ditch outside the camp and setthe car on fire. Although the crime was obviously directed toward the camp, local authorities draggedtheir feet when it came to protecting the camp. "What the (delegation) is doing is coming fromaround the country to protect these women and let the townies know that they are being monitored,"Herivel said. "These assholes know exactly how far to go with intimidation and how far they can go withthe police." Herivel said the reason CSS has survived and the Hensons are alive is the way they havenetworked. Networking began on a small scale between community members and allies, and has nowgrown across the country. Over 2,000 volunteers have visited the camp and helped rebuild the former120- acre pig farm into a safe haven for women. Herivel said the lessons learned at CSS are powerful and teach women crafts and handiwork that break the stereotype of "man's work." "On the third day I waswondering what type of feminist education I was receiving. All I was doing was building a workshop ...then it hit me and I realized I was actually building a workshop," Herivel said. "I came away with a newsense of philosophy. We didn't have a lot to work with, but what we had was enough. It is the strengthand will that is within us that are the real tools," said delegate Ruth Holbrook, a Western alumna. ForSponseller, the lone male delegate, the camp was the first time he had questioned male stereotypes."I prayed we would pick another man. It was the first time in a long time I was very aware of mymaleness. It forced me to redefine my gender role. Seeing how efficient the women were was a newthing for me. These women were doing all of it," Sponseller said. Although the Hensons have defeatedthe ongoing efforts of opponents to shut down the camp, their victory hasn't been without a long battleâ€” a battle that has left the non-profit camp in dire financial need. "What the Hensons need is money;money, money, money," Herivel said. "The project didn't end when we got back; it's just the first step towhat we plan to do for them." The delegation is selling T-shirts and bumper stickers to help raise fundsfor the Hensons. Donations can be made through the Legal Information Center. "If these women werestraight, they'd get awards for what they're doing. But because they're lesbians they don't," Herivel said. Y6AH, PIGHT! Announcing the ATT Ultimate ROAD TRIP" Sweepstakes.

But they want to do more than enforce laws, they are trying to build bridges betweenofficers and students in a less intimidating way. "Anyone with a gun could be intimidating," said JenniferGregor, university police dispatcher. A uniformed leader at the head and green jackets at the other end of the table resemble a television cop series. The atmosphere changes slightly as the meeting for the newshift ends. Laughter echoes through the once quiet room as the green coats huddle around a fellowofficer impersonating Van Damme. "I'm the ringmaster," Sergeant John Browne said with a serious face,leaving a unperceptive newcomer off-guard. As a Western graduate, Browne explains that the laid-back atmosphere students in the office have is why he enjoys his job of 24 years. "Students using thisopportunity as a stepping stone makes me feel like a part of the education - system," Browne said. Anight of educating begins for Officer John Kildall during his 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. shift with Gregor's voice onthe radio. "Fire alarm in the Viking Addition!" Gregor yells. With a quick response to his radio and pressof the gas pedal, the sounds of ringing soon thunder over his vehicle. Kildall walks through the buildingwith a fellow officer in search of a flame and finds, unsurprisingly, a false alarm. With the excitement ofpolice enforcement comes grave moments.

Thisenvironment is not just academic, but also gives second chances to correct bad habits that may lead tosevere punishments in later years, Kildall said. "Law enforcement is more than just traffic control,"Kildall said. He also sees it as a chance to help students on to the right path of life with humor andseriousness at the same time. Requiring a little more than a quick look for a potential flame, the next call taken by Kildall needed the attention of a written report. Kildall enters the men's bathroom of the fifthfloor, where a novice vandal left a number of where to have a "good time." "It must be a freshman justlearning the ropes," Kildall said.

"We're like the referee game field of life ... studej not a personal thing,"By Allison Gregg The Western Front You are in a rush. Without even thinking about it, you leave yourpurse or wallet sitting out or tucked in your locker. But you don't give it a second thought â€” you willbe right back. When you do return, it is gone. It vanished. You pause and think, "Did I really bring it inand leave it there?" Things are thrown around in an effort to find it. Maybe it fell or slipped betweensomething. It is nowhere in sight. It suddenly hits you, "I've been robbed." As violating and disturbing asit is, the facts are simple: someone took your possessions and now you, the victim, have to spend yourtime canceling credit cards, closing bank accounts and getting new identification. Two weeks ago, mypurse was stolen from World Gym and Fitness Center in Bellingham. I have had to do something about iteveryday since then. Bellingham Police Lt. Rick Sucee said that most purses stolen are theresponsibility of the owner. "They get stolen when they are left unattended," Sucee said. Leaving a purse in a shopping cart or on a table in a resturaunt are perfect examples of how items get stolen. The firstthing to do if a cash card, checks or withdrawal slips are stolen is to call the bank. A stop payment isplaced on the stolen checks. It makes those checks impossible to clear your account, if the thievesattempt to use them. Chris Edwards, a personal banker at Seafirst Bank, recommends closing theaccount and opening a new one. If the account is not closed right away, but a stop-payment is placedon the checks, a business might accept the check. You will be notified that the checks will not clearyour account. Once the stop payment is placed on the checks, you are no longer held liable forpurchases made by the stolen checks. The people who stole my purse have written where to call toreport a stolen or lost credit card on the back of the monthly statement. New credit cards are usuallymailed within two weeks. Next, you need to get a new driver's license, which is not easy to do. A formof picture identification is needed. An expired driver's license is the best form of identification. When you bring in a student I.D. card, or another form of picture I.D., you need your social security card, birth certificate or high school yearbook. While there, getting an identification card is recommended. Keepone at home and another in a new purse or wallet, which will never be left again. Here are a few othertips I have learned from this experience: Front/Sarah Spiegelberg Â£)0 n o t j uncjer any circumstances,keep your Purses and wallets are primary targets for thieves, social security card or number in your purse or wallet.

By Jerry Weatherhogg The Western Front After a long, industriousevening spent studying at Wilson Library, its time to go home and crash. The car has been parked allday in some far-off commuter parking lot. It's late. It's dark. The cold Bellingham wind whispers thoughts of discomfort into the ear. It's not the best night to be walking alone. What to do? Call the UniversityPolice. They offer Personal Safety Escorts to anyone from anywhere on campus. These escorts willwalk or provide transportation to any place on campus at no cost. The service is very simple touse, University Police Lt. Dave D o u g h t y said.

"Try ut it, or glue it or lt;m Front/Kelly Jackson! and asks for aPersonal Safety Escort," he said. "Anybody on campus (can use the service)," Doughty said. "You don't have to be a student. Visitors, staff and faculty can also use the escorts. Our concern is personalsafety." Security officer Gray Proctor said it's very easy to get ahold of an escort. "Call the UniversityPolice at 650- 3555 and say, 'this is where I am, I would like an escort,'" Proctor said. "They'll ask youfor your vital statistics for legal reasons, and within a couple minutes the rover or an officer will bethere. You can also designate a certain time (for an escort) by calling in advance." SophomoreNathalie Oravetz does exactly that when she uses the service. "I usually just plan ahead," Oravetzsaid. "I'll call from a friend's house and say that I'll be at (commuter lot) 16CR in 10 minutes. One time, I called from Haggen's." "Call boxes are found in most of the main parking lots," security officer Jamie Ivanich said. "People can also use car phones and dorm boxes." No reason is required for using anescort, and security won't ask any questions. "We certainly don't refuse too many people because we'dmuch rather err on the obsessive side than say no to someone who actually needs an escort," Proctorsaid. "So we don't usually ask questions." Oravetz used the escort because she finds the parkingterrible on campus. She felt especially uncomfortable walking around the track and the aerobics shack,where it does not feel safe, she said. Freshman Tonni Blaisdell offered a straightforward reason why she called for an escort. "I was scared because it was nighttime and I'm a girl and I didn't want to beattacked," Blaisdell said. After receiving an escort request, University Police will either dispatch therover who drives a Ford Ranger truck, or send an officer by foot to the person. It usually takes less than10 minutes for the security officer to arrive. However, in some instances, the wait is longer. "Ifsomeone calls for an escort and security officers are not readily available, the person might have towait," Doughty said. "We will direct people into someplace safe like the Viking Commons or WilsonLibrary, but it's not too often that people have to wait," he said. Blaisdell said it took about five to 10minutes for her escort to arrive the three times she's used the service. "The service area is traditionally all of campus and includes Birnam Wood," Proctor said. "But being the nice guys we are, we'll takepeople a little ways off campus. It's usually the driver's discretion," he said. "But we certainly won'ttake people across town," Proctor added. "We try not to let people use it as a taxi service," securityofficer and rover Collin Rutherford added. The service began in the middle of the 1970s, and hasincreased since. In 1995, security gave 928 escorts, and through the end of February of this year, 261escorts have been given. Front/Chris Butterfield Security officer Nicole Spears escorts a Westernstudent from campus Monday. The weather usually influences the demand for escorts. During poorweather, the demand doubles. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all yearround. However, most escorts are given at night, and after 4 p.m., the rover is available. After a long night of writing, I decided to give the escort service a try. The University Police receptionist was very nice asshe asked me for my name, student number, where I was and where I was going. I think she wasoblivious to the fact that my destination, Kappa, was less than a stone's throw away from College Hall. I wasn't waiting longer than two minutes before I saw headlights coming toward me from Bond Hall. The"University Police" decal in the window let me know that my escort had arrived. It was a relief steppinginside. The truck was much warmer than the cold night. And Rutherford was just as pleasant. "You'remy first action all day," he said as he drove up the street. Since the trip to the Ridge took only a fewseconds, he parked the truck as he told me about his job. Weekends are the most popular nights forescorts, Rutherford said. Thursday nights are especially big, because all the business majors getloaded, he said. The College of Business and Economics doesn't have Friday classes. Most securityofficers are genuinely nice people. Many are appreciative of the company. Rutherford enjoys beingan escort because he sees a variety of campus life and meets many interesting people, businessmajors included. "I enjoy meeting people, so it's nice to get a break," Proctor said. "It's nice to get achance to talk to people. There's a certain amount of satisfaction that comes with doing a public service, even if it is something as minor as walking someone home." "I like to see people at one o' clock inthe morning," Ivanich said. "It's the loneliest shift," she said of her 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. schedule. Users ofthe service are just as appreciative as they are satisfied. Oravetz said that she has been treated verywell by security escorts. "They're totally understanding to the fact that I have a shitty parking spot and Idon't want to walk at night," Oravetz said. "All of them (the escorts) have been really friendly." Theservice is quite popular, but isn't as effective as it could be. Rutherford and Proctor agree that the biggest problem facing the escort system is lack of use. "It's probably not as popular as it should be," Proctoradded. "I don't think nearly enough people use the escort system and not enough people know about itfor it to work as efficiently as it should." "Most people are intimidated by calling University Police,which they shouldn't be because that's what we're here for," Proctor said.

Pro/expert and sport-class racers will race multiple laps around a 3.4 mile loop, while beginner-class racers will race around a shorter and flatter 2.9 mile loop. Each coursefeatures agonizing climbs, fast drop-offs and stomach-churning switchbacks. "It's really a verydeceiving course," Kulshan Cycle's John Roy said. "The locals who have ridden it will think 'gosh, that'snot a very hard course.' But when you have to do it four, five or six times, and the most grueling obstacles that the course features. Although this section, which ranges from 50 to 200 yards long dependingupon the annual rainfall, is not to the waist-high and 250-yards-long extreme that it was in 1993,spectators will still get the opportunity to see many racers dismount and slog their way throughthe mud. "It's a very challenging course overall," said Rich Archberger, president of Western'sTreadhead mountain bike club. "The key to the race is to be able to climb." The course is not onlyexciting for racers, but it is one of the best in the Northwest for spectators to see just what it is thatmountain bikers do in the woods, Peterson said. Although the" course is tight, spectators can easilywalk it backward to see every jump, crash and grimace the riders make. Spectators can also browsethrough the bike expo or watch bikers try to ride over logs and stumps in the trials course.

Assistant men'scoach Andrew Stephens said the novice men showed their depth when they won the varsity-eight race,beating the second-place University of Puget Sound varsity boat by 9.77 seconds and three-and-a-halfboat lengths. Stephens said the novice-eight boat bearing varsity boats "has to be the highlight of theyear so far." "To be a novice team and to win a varsity race shows a lot about our coach," said JasonMoorehead, who sat in the seventh seat for the winning boat. "All week long he said he wanted us to win. Both the boats dedicated the races to him." The biggest challenge for both the women's and men'steams will be at next week's Opening Day Regatta at the Montlake Cut in Seattle. The regatta is themost attended race in the world, with a crowd of around 100,000 people. The University of Washingtoninvited the men to the race after their showings in races in San Diego and Spokane. Stephens called the university and asked if his team could compete, and a week later they were invited. The race will betheir biggest one since San Diego. Last Saturday's race was their best race of the season to this point."It was very encouraging to see that and fun to see the team respond to that," Stephens said. "I thinkthey showed confidence, but they weren't cocky." The women also showed their ability and confidence by winning the most races of the nine schools that competed on Saturday. Their biggest victory was the 2,000-meter varsity-eight race which they completed in 7:08.00, beating Pacific Lutheran University by16.7 seconds. A combination of the return of the team's regular stroke for the boat, Emily Bauer, andthe team's new boats attributed to the varsity win. "Having Emily Bauer back at stroke helped ourrhythm a lot, and we cruised to a pretty easy victory," women's coach Ron Goodman said in a pressrelease. "We'll probably be 10 to 15 seconds faster next week just from what we learned about therigging on our new boats." Assistant women's coach Annette Collins said hard work was another keyfactor in the women's dominance at Saturday's regatta. "They've been working hard, and their effortspaid off for them. They were confident going into it and sure about themselves." The women also tookfirst in the novice eight, lightweight eight and the novice four. They placed second in the junior varsity four and lightweight novice eight. Stephens said the race in Seattle will be a test of how much the novicemen's team has improved and he expects to at least take second when up against competitors suchas the University of Washington and Washington State University's freshmen novice boats. "We had astrong race at American Lake, but we have a lot of work to do to beat UW," Moorehead said. "I thinkwe'll gain recognition for Western as a strong team and I think we'll surprise some people down there."The women's team is "hoping to break (its) curse and do better," Collins said of this Saturday's race. She expects the women to do well against some good competition, including UW and Yale for the varsityteams and UW and Washington State University for the novice. New equipment will be a factor in doingwell because more power can be applied to the water, making the boat move faster. "Opening Day hasalways been a hard race for us," Bauer said. "We're looking to get WSU and UW. We have thecapabilities of winning the race. We just have to get out and do it."

The Vikings captured the inaugural women's crown handily, with four players breaking 100 at the Fircrest Golf Course. The men, the defending league champions, finished second, seven strokes behind SimonFraser University. Junior Sherri Lockner earned women's medalist honors with a completed only 18holes. Fastpitch in first-place tie round of 91. Junior Deena Worden, sophomore Leslie Keller andfreshman Anna Hiffman finished second, third and fourth behind Lockner. All four earned all-conference honors. "It was miserable playing out there," Lockner said. "It was a shame that we didn't play tworounds." She felt that a full tournament would have provided a more worthy champion and a better gaugeof the field. The tournament was shortened from 54 to 36 holes for the men because Thursday's actionwas canceled due to rain. The men had to play two 18-hole rounds on Friday, and the women Westernjunior Kevin Cannon and junior Ryan Yurina earned all-conference honors, finishing second and third,respectively. Cannon shot a 9- over-par 151, and Yurina followed one stroke behind. Yurina finished theseason as the team's stroke average leader at 77.5 per round. He is representing Western at the NAIAPacific Northwest/Far West Regional tournament in San Diego Monday and Tuesday. SFU's TrevorGoetz took first-place medalist honors with a six-over-par 148. He made several clutch shots during hisround, chipping the ball in twice and nailing some long putts. Fastpitch April 30, 2 p.m. vs. University ofPuget Sound at Frank Geri Field (regular season finale) By D. Eric Jones The Western Front Westernwomen's fastpitch ripped through the south Puget Sound Saturday and Sunday and came home with afive-game winning streak. After sweeping twinbills at both St. Martin's College and University of PugetSound over the weekend, the Vikings skyrocketed into first place in the Pacific Northwest AthleticConference alongside Simon Fraser University. Western (19- 19) improved to 9-5 in the PNWAC. TheVikings clobbered SMC 5-0 and 6- 1 on Saturday. The momentum carried them into Sunday's big wins.Western outlasted UPS for a 6-5 victory in the opener. Diana Joy blanked the powerful Loggers in thenightcap en route to a 5-0 shutout. Freshman Alison Haukaas and Joy worked perfectly on the mound as both women picked up two wins last weekend. Haukaas nabbed her ninth victory of the season, goingthe distance for the 18th time in 19 starts. "We really kept the intensity up," Haukaas said. "We startedfollowing through with two outs to keep the scoring going." Western displayed its mental toughness,rallying for four runs in the fifth inning against UPS after trailing 3-2. "We always stayed in it. We battledthrough because we knew we wanted to win," Haukaas said. It was Brenda Blancas' two-run double inthe fifth that stopped the Loggers in their tracks. "We really started hitting together as a team. We gotmore consecutive hits and we're not stranding runners as much any more," Blancas said. The Vikingsclash with UPS again at 2 p.m today at Frank Geri Field. The PNWAC playoffs will be hosted by theleague champion Friday and Saturday. Western can clinch sole possession of first place with one moreleague victory than SFU in this final week. The Clan would lock up first place if its league record tiesWestern. SFU won the season series with Western 3-1. "We're really getting excited." Blancas said."We definitely have good attitudes and we know we've got potential." Kelley, Stevenson qualify By ChrisButterfield The Western Front Sophomore Karla Kelley qualified for nationals, and senior Jen Campbelland sophomore Kathy Law improved their qualifying times last Saturday in Abbotsford, B.C. at theSimon Fraser Invitational. Kelley qualified by placing sixth (4:42.0) in the women's 1,500 meters.Campbell finished fourth in the 3,000 (10:11.72) and Law finished fourth in the 3,000 racewalk(15:17.16). "I was amazed (about qualifying)" Kelley said. "Actually, the race that I ran in, the womanthat I ran against had a 4:19, and everybody was way put in front of me. I didn't realize I was going asfast as I was." Posting regional qualifying times were sophomore Erik Meyer in the men's 5,000(15:17.19) and freshman Sarah Tenace in the women's 800 (2:19.67). Also qualifying for regionals wassophomore Jeff Yoder in the men's 10,000 (33:23.66) at the Pacific Lutheran Invitational on Saturday. Inaddition to the Simon Fraser and PLU invitationals, four Western athletes, junior Kurt Grichel, sophomore Lewis McCulloch, junior Oscar Myre IV and junior Mike Ogliore competed at the Penn Relays. TheVikings have already qualified more people (nine) for nationals than last year. They advance to thePNWAC Championships Saturday in Ellensburg on a roll. "We have a really good team this year,"Campbell said. "It's a lot better than last year." "I think we're going to do well because we have a lot ofdepth and a lot of really talented athletes," senior Brandi Stevenson said. Stevenson qualified fornationals in the April 21-22 PNWAC Multi-Events Championships by breaking Western's 13- year-oldheptathlon mark (4,557 points) set in 1983 by Jennifer Schwartz. She took six of seven events over thetwo-day championship and compiled a point total of 4,641. "I think toward the end of the season ourteam's starting to come together," Stevenson added. "I hope to place first or second in every one of (theevents)," said Stevenson, who will be competing in five events during the conference championships. The regional championships are May 10- 11 in Monmouth, Ore., and the NAIA National Champioships will be May 23-25 in Marietta, Ga. MAY1 Legal Info.

I used to believe those stupid myths like, "You can't get pregnant your first time/'and "You won't get pregnant if you do it standing up, or in a hot tub". Yeah, right. Look, too many of usdon't have a clue when it comes to birth control. That's why there's Planned Parenthood. The people at Planned Parenthood know it's tough for teens to get the facts about birth control, safer sex, andsexually transmitted infections. They really listened to me, and helped me choose a birth control methodthat works for me. Everything is completely confidential. And the fees are low, so I can afford it. So go to Planned Parenthood.

Yes, our beloved mass transit system has some negativequalities, but this is usually the case with most government operations. But, before you startcondemning the driving abilities and timekeeping skills of WTA bus drivers, keep this is mind. Incomparison to other bus systems in this state (i.e. Seattle's Metro), WTA is in a class of its own. The number one reason why WTA rocks is value. Thirty-five cents is not too much to pay to get acrosstown. Metro, in contrast, charges $1.10. WTA also provides some of the cleanest vehicles on the road.The lack of grime makes the buses' ultra-cool color scheme sparkle. It is especially groovy at night when the buses are aglow in blue light.v Metro buses, more often than not, are covered with a layer of dirt.This cannot be blamed on poor bus maintenance, but on the fact that downtown Seattle isn't thecleanest place on Earth. No amount of dirt, however, can hide the ugly brown and yellow paint job ofthe Metro buses. Friendliness also ranks high on the list. Most WTA drivers are simply nice people.Nowhere else but Bellingham do drivers announce that the bus is passing 31 Flavors. Also, inBellingham, it is safe to ride the bus late at night. In Seattle, riding the bus past 11 p.m. isuncomfortable, to say the. least. Finally, WTA bus routes are simple and easy-to-use. The colorfulmaps and schedules make getting from point A to point B easy. The opposite is true of Metro. Trying to decipher Metro schedules is an exercise in frustration. It takes a degree in geography to figure outwhere the bus is going and another degree in mathematics to calculate when it's going to get there.Granted, WTA is not perfect. A major inconvenience is not having Sunday service. I once spent half an hour in the cold Bellingham wind waiting for a bus that never came. Night service is also deficient. TheNightline was an essential addition but, since most WTA routes close around 7 p.m., the Nightline is our only option. Lateness is another complaint reflected by many in the community. Reasons of price,cleanliness, charm, fashion and simplicity make WTA the best transit value in the Northwest. It's notperfect, but it does its job in getting the masses around comfortably. If you ever find yourself squeezedinto a bus packed like a can of sardines or running just a little late, remember, compared to thealternatives, our bus system kicks transit ass. ttere's fast-acting relief from, the pressure of school!graduating seniors, c\\A,d qmd students can get ^oboc cash bacte* O\A, the purchase or lease of aiA,ijtool new Ford or Mercw.ru).

First off, Accent Editor Grant Clark is pissed because he wasn'tmentioned. "I glorify violence â€” what about me?" he whined. "More death and destruction are dealt outin one Godzilla flick than in all the Sonny Chiba movies combined. And, hell, it was my 'Streetfighter'video that he watched to write the article." Imagine, if you will, a world devoid of televised violence. BobSaget would host 14 shows, pay channel options would include "24 Hours of 'Blossom,'" and "The SavedBy The Bell Channel" (minus, of course, "The College Years," since Screech got the occasional hazing,which would be considered gratuitous, and the mere sight of "Showgirls" star Jesse Spano is arousingenough to promote impure thoughts and "self-induced" blindness). I must, however begrudgingly, admitthe influential power of television. Because of "Miami Vice," Grant didn't wear socks for two years. Yet,never once did he.get in a fiery speedboat chase, join a drug cartel in Colombia or put out a violently lamealbum (remember "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson? Try playing that song in the UpUp on a non-business-major night without getting your ass kicked). Television can also incite some destructive activities. Afterhe pay-per-viewed "Wrestlemania IIXVIIMCM," Grant put a sleep-er- hold/suplex combination on his catthat brought the ire of animal rights activist Ricki Lake within minutes.' Ricki, who, by the way, looksgreat in neon tights, a cape and a red, white and blue leather hood, piped down after a forearm shiver and the dreaded figure-four leglock. "If she's gonna talk the talk, she'd better walk the.walk," Grant screamed at the camera, index finger shaking. - i Now then, back to the brow-beaten Collin Coyne. TV violence:fine. ... TV buddy-cop shows and bogus talk-shows: bad. Writing about Sonny Chiba (who, by the way,taps a keg of whoop-ass on anyone who thinks otherwise or puts up signs about Collin): Good. Now, ifyou want to wax intellectual about the subject at hand (TV violence, not Jesse Spano), consider theresults of watering down entertainment media so as not to offend the squeamish or influence the lessmature. Reduction of available information to the level of the lowest common intellectual denominatoramounts to a brand of censorship. Collin may glorify violence, but he doesn't promote vandalism (ortooth decay)! â€”Jason Hickman, Copy editor â€”Grant Clark, Accent editor The Western Front Editor,Jeremy Stiles; Managing editor, Jesse Hamilton; News editors, Mike Brennand and Nina Boswell;Features editors, Rachel Morrow and Lisa Diaz; Accent editors, Eric Francis and Grant Clark; Sportseditor, Darrin Wellentin; Opinions editor, Christopher Ames; Copy editor, Jason Hickman; Photo editors,Aaron Dahl and Tom Degan; Political Cartoonist, Jason Kelly; Illustrator, Kelly Jackson; Adviser, PeteSteffens; Business Manager, Teari Brown; Custodian, Roger Sprague; Custodian emeritus, ConradSchuyler.

P^H0MS: TAKE: Z PIUS w *^NÂ§T^Â°iT^Â»^H f Utf OFF fiQpSSS** NOT CH**,2J One student's border trouble: northern exposureno good I am 20 years old, and I have lived my whole life in a place where I didn't have to deal withdiscrimination because of my ethnicity, values or the color of my skin. However, I recently saw thehard, cold face of racism and, learned that discrimination doesn't just happen to African- Americans.Discrimination can happen to everyone, but especially minorities. After finals week, I was finishedwith all my classes, so my friends and I decided to go dancing in Canada. We thought we would havea good time. We stopped at the duty free store before passing through the United States-Canadianborder in Blaine. The Canadian Customs officer began asking us questions. "Have you ever been toCanada before?" the officer asked. "Yes, we have," we replied. "How long are you going to be here?"she asked. . "Three to four hours," we said. "Did you go into the duty free?" she asked. "Yes, toexchange money," the driver of the car, Robert Mattin, said. I waÂ§ beginning to become suspiciousof the persistent questioning. All we wanted to do was to go dancing. Following the last question, theofficer directed us to the Customs and Immigration Building. My friends and I entered the building andwere told to see the immigration officer. As we walked through the door, the officers assumed we wouldcreate a disturbance or commit some kind of criminal act, and wouldn't allow my boyfriend to use therestroorn, refusing to explain why. "I felt racially discriminated against and stereotyped as carryingillegal contraband," Mattin said. We stood in line for 30 minutes just to find a reason why we were sentthere. The Canadian supervisor took our driver's licenses and student identification cards while askingunimportant questions: Are you sure you were born in the United States? Do you go to school andwhere? What are you majoring in? How much money are you all carrying? We responded with variousamounts of money, but it wasn't enough to get us past the supervisor. "Hey, how come we're here?"student Andy Waterman asked. "How come you get to ask my friends questions and not me, and howcome we have to have $40 each?" Waterman asked too many questions of the officer, who became soupset with the remarks that he put Waterman into an isolated containment cell. He wasn't let out untilwe left. "Sit down!" the officer shouted. "Now if you don't shut up, you're gonna see parts of Canada that you've never seen before." Waterman said nothing to the officer, but when he asked for the officer'sname he didn't give it to him. He also asked for a comment card, but received a piece of paper. Despite our cooperation, customs denied us entrance into Canada. They justified their action by citing aCanadian immigration law. They said the law requires each person to carry $40. to enter Canada,although they showed no verification of the law. Still disturbed by the incident, I called the nearestCanadian customs building, and asked if any law existed requiring each person to bring $40 to crossthe border. The officer told me there are seven superintendents, and they have the discretion to turnanyone away if they don't have "sufficient funds" to enter Canada. The Canadian official said theyexpect visitors to have a "certain amount of money to pass the border." Despite the fact we may ormay not have had enough money, it was none of their business and, their aggressive manner appalledme. I didn't know what they wanted from us and I was deeply upset. These remarks made me feel asthough I were an illegal immigrant, even though I was born in the United States. I felt this was a form of discrimination, because three or four Canadian agents circled around us like hawks as if we weremeat to dine on. I sometimes think about what would happen if I had just gone back and showed themmy $40. I wondered if they still would have let me and my friends cross the border. What if I was with abunch of friends who weren't minorities? The outcome probably would have been different. Maybe Ishould go back to the border and find out. ---------- Western Front - 1996 April 30 - Page 15 ---------- April 30, 1996 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 Americana must reject, 'flush' conservative'bilge' Dear Editor, It's time we stood up and flush , all the conservative bilge down the toilet before itsinks our ship.

"The first thought I have is that I wish to extend bestwishes to my successor in the solution of the problems incident to growth during the years ahead."Then would come the ideas and ideals based upon twenty years of administration in the College's toppost . . . and based upon an entire career in education. He would be concerned with the responsibility oftraining teachers. "This College is preparing," One never ceases to learn and thus his education willcontinue throughout his life. It is truly the commencement for the sincere, capable person. This is adifferent person from he who is going to college just to get through." "The prospective teacher who is atWestern," explains the President "should be here because of the quality of our teacher educationprogram. For others it would be for the Arts and Sciences courses, the two years of junior college, andthe extensiveness of our programâ€” which also allows one year of graduate work." Explaining hisown satisfactions during his administration, Dr. Haggard states that the growth of the College is thegreatest. He means the expansion of the College program, the physical improvements to the campus,and the increased student enrollment. He is especially pleased with the number of students whohave graduated with teaching degrees from 1949 to 1958. They stand this way: Western 2852 U. of W.2847 Next highest: some 300 lower.

With these words to her 15- membercommittee of the whole, chairman Pat Xelly launched the1959 WUS campaign on the Western campxis. The comhiit-tee quickly moved to the following decisions: â€¢ Goal of the drive will be $1,500. â€¢Slogan is to be "That learning may not die." BUT THERE-ARE more basic issues than these.Questions like "what is WUS?" "Why does it exist?" "What can I do to help?" These are the questionswe asked Miss Kelly. 'Well," the pert chairman began," WUS' is an international free world agencywhich is \ mainly supported by contributions from students." "IF EVERY STUDENT at Westernwould contribute 50c we would meet our goal. That price may be just the price of a lunch for you, but toa foreign student it may mean the opportunity to begin or continue study. "This is truly a worthwhileinvestment in humanity." Scanning the WUS leaflets, Miss Kelly pointed to a $550, 000 program thisyear to provide scholarships for refugee students, (including Algerians) in France, Germany, Sweden,Switzerland and Britain. IN ADDITION, WUS will be especially interested in A f r i c an scholars. Amajor university in South Africa is closed to African Negroes; noted regional WUS director GladysLawther said in her fall visit to the College, "some African cities the size of Belling-ham have only onedoctor." Mrs. Lawther went into debt to make a trip on her own around the world, during which time shevisited many WUS projects. "One of the things that Mrs. Lawther told us was that there are 2,000known student tubercular cases in Japan." "WE HAVE THE advantage of good health," continuedMiss Kelly, "and take many things for granted â€”like having a place to live and having books forclasses. Others do not begin to have our advantages. In one place in India, for example, students haveto walk 50 miles to school. WUS would like to build a youth hostel there.

Erik Low, Prime Minister of S.A., has accused Robert St. John along with John Gunther and Alan Paton as the three men most responsible for South Africa's bad Toward the end of 1957, St-John returned to Africa to report on the self-government in Ghana. He views Ghana as "the land ofhope," in contrast to South Africa, "the land of fear." ON THE SCENE to see the first bombs of WorldWar II falling, St. John reported news from Eastern Europe where he was surrounded by death anddestruction on all sides. The story of his war adventures are related in "From the Land of the SilentPeople," which has been hailed as "the best book to come out of World War II." A SHORT TIME laterthis war correspondent was once again in the center of a trouble spot. The new state of Isreal had justbeen created . . . this creation resulted in violent riots and battles between Isreali and Arab soldiers,which attracted world-wide attention. St. John remained in the Middle East for many months,covering the explosions and periods of uncertain peace.

One of the major problems in lighting is working out a light plot that will be effective on theWestern stage and still be simple enough to adapt to the stages of other schools when the play is ontour. ADJUSTING THE WHOLE SET to fit another school's stage, will be another problem for the stagecrew. Skagit Valley College, especially will present this change. The whole set will have to bereadjusted before the play can be presented there. For that reason, an extra performance, using the setfor SVC, will be given March 6 on Western's stage, for high school students only.

Phone RE 3-6870 Magnolia Commercial ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1959 February 20 - Page 3 ---------- February 20, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 Field day at the Legislature:Amending the Amendments. BY LYLE PRICE AFTER HEARING ITS SPECIAL COMMITTEE report,Western's student legislators thought for a while Wednesday that they had gotten those proposedconstitutional amendments out of the way. But they were wrong. After the report was heardWednesday, Legislator Bruce Hannaford quickly moved that the committee's three recommendationsbe adopted. The recommendation would also rescind the Legislature's action of January 21 pertainingto amendments. But after picking up a second, the motion ran into trouble in the form of muchdiscussion, if not outright opposition. ONE POINT AT ISSUE WAS ELIGIBILITY requirements forAssociated Student Body offices. When asked at what exact moment the requirements would belevied, Hannaford offered the interpretation that a candidate (for instance, for ASB President) could win election to the office although he might not fulfill the requirements at the time of election. This wouldhold, said Hannaford, if he were eligible by the time he took office. ; Dave Amos and Dr. MoyleCederstrom, adviser, held that the recommendations as stated were ambiguous. At this pointRabourn moved to add to the Hannaford motion by inserting clarifying phrases in the three amendmentrecommendations. He also moved to add a fourth amendment. The. addition would require a candidatefor most ASB offices to be eligible at the time he applied The exceptions in ASB positions would beLegislative and judicial. Rabourn's added proposal would have Legislative eligibility included. "Is thisprecisely the opposite of what you originally meant?" Dr. Cederstrom asked of Hannaford. The graduatestudent nodded his head in agreement. "Why," asked Legislator Leo Dodd, "is it the opposite?" Doddhad seconded the Rabourn addition to the main motion. HANNAFORD THEN POINTED OUT that acommittee of five legislators had made the recommendations and that Rabourn had not only been amember of the committee, but had voted in favor of the recommendation. Rabourn countered, that hefelt clarification and improvements should be made even if thought of tardily. RABOURN'S MOVE wouldseem to do more than change just the time element. It would state literally, for instance, "to be eligible for the election to the office of Legislator, a student must have completed at least two quarters ofresident work at WWCE." Currently change and interpretation would literally mean that a write-incandidate could not be eligible to be a Legislator unless he fulfilled requirements. As Dr. Cederstrom once implied, a write-in candidate does not apply and hence escapes all requirements of one whoapplies â€”at least in a high school which he recalls once elected the waitress down the street as Queen of the Senior Prom. The matter of recommendations and amendments was not resolved, and theLegislature unanimously voted to shuffle back the report to the committee.

Project Orbiter was the joint Army- Navy satellite program of this country started in 1954 and which was shelved in 1955 for Project Vanguard. s This move, according to scientist Willy Ley, last Tuesday's Artistsand Lecturers speaker, was a prime reason why Russia beat the United States in putting the first Iman-made satellite into orbit in 1957. LEY, IN HIS TALK "Conquest of Space," predicted that within fiveyears we will send a manned vehicle into orbit, and man will travel around the moon without landingthere and return to earth. He also said that within this same period we will be taking "shots" at ourneighboring planets, Mars and Venus. "Most p e o p l e , " Ley said, "agree that the Space Age began when Sputnik I was sent into orbit, October 4, 1957." He then referred to this as "year 2" of the SpaceAge. HE WENT ON TO SAY, however, that the basic concept for a man-made orbiting satellite datesback to the 17th century and Sir Issac Newton. Newton theorized that if an object could attain a velocityof five miles per second in a horizontal path with the earth, it would remain in orbit around the earth."But this had to remain a theory Save with our CASH AND CARRY DISCOUNT Vienna Cleaners 206 E.Magnolia 1-DAY SHIRT SERVICE Phone REgent 4-7620 for sometime." Ley said. It wasn't until thestart of the 20th century that scientists began to wonder if rockets could be made to attain suchvelocities. By 1911 the idea of "stagging" was patented by two scientists. From this our idea of a 3-stage rocket developed. Work began in earnest in 1948, and in February, 1949, the first man-madeobject was hurled into empty space by this country. After Project Vanguard failed to put a satellite intoorbit in December, 1957, Ley said, "'Orbiter' was quietly revived and called 'Jupiter C." On January 31, 1958, "Explorer I" was put into orbit. ON THE QUESTION, "What are we going to see this year?" hesaid that there are two groups working on various projects. One, a civilian group, will take eight or more"shots" this year. These will include a plastic-aluminum balloon which will inflate after it goes intoorbit. It will be 100 feet in diameter, be very visible, and may have navigational value. THE OTHERGROUP, a contingent of scientists working -for the military, will also take several "shots," includingone at the moon comparable to the recent Russian "moon" rocket. with no previous speechexperience.) KNOCKED OUT OF first place by a small margin of three points, Western placed secondonly to the University of Oregon. (The sweepstakes scores are based on the total amount of pointseach school gains through its squad members.)

It was their mostdisastrous road trip of the season as it left them out of contention for the Conference title. The Vikswent down 84-56 against RON SALTIS, a sophomore forward, has been improving this season and will be one of coach Jack Hubbard's mainstays next year. WHY WALK? For an inexpensive, good usedcar, see one of the 5-H's at Hanson - Hatuh 1205 Commercial the Lutes, and lost 74-64 to theWildcats. PLC racked up their 35th straight Conference victory in the contest last Thursday, as thescoring of Chuck Curtis, Jim VanBeek and Roger Iverson was too much for the Norsemen to handle. The contest was close throughout the first half however, as Western held within three points of theirtalented opponents. The Lutes came storming out for the second half and promptly ran away with thegame as - Western found trouble in hit ting the hoop. In one six minute period, the Norsemen got only a single point, while Iverson alone potted 14 in about the same amount of time. IVERSON'S 22COUNTERS were high for the contest, followed by Curtis with 20 and VanBeek with 18. Western's topguns were Bay Kycek who collected 17 points and 19 rebounds, and Nello Morganti who picked up 12.A 30 point effort by all- Conference forward Bill Coordes was too much for the Vikings as they lost theirsecond league test in a row. The Wildcats led from the opening tip off and the Norsemen committed 30personals in trying to get back into the game. Central took good advantage of the charity tosses as theyconnected for 30 out of 40. The Vikings out-scored their rugged opponents by five baskets as far as field goals were concerned. Western shot 27 for 66 and Central hit 22 for 55. Vlk Basketballers End Season This Weekend By DOUG SIMPSON A sport which has been practically neglected this year at Westernis swimming. Although the Viking mermen have had a disappointing season, they are improving steadily,and should do better in these last few weeks of the Evergreen Conference campaign. The Vikings are ayoung squad which has been gaining experience all year, and that will make a better accounting of itselfthe remainder of the season. Three important men have been added to the team, as Coach John Kulbitskiis looking toward the Conference meet March 6-7 at the College of Puget Sound. Letterman ColeComings has been out with an injured knee, but is ready to go, and should pick up points in the free style events. Al Coghill, another letterman, has not been able to participate thus far this year because hehas had to work. Coghill is also a free style specialist. The third newcomer is John Guberd, who has justbecome eligible. Kulbitski has had no one to enter in the butterfly, but now Guberd is on hand for theVikings in this event. The Vikings have two meets here at Western this weekend. This afternoon at 3:30p.m. they tangle with the Eastern Savages, and tomorrow at 11 a.m. are slated to meet Oregon StateCollege. Two weeks ago Western lost to Eastern, 57-25 at Cheney, but Coach Kulbitski points to the fact that all the events were close, and could have gone either way. Here at Western with more swimmersavailable, Kulbitski and Assistant Coach Chuck Stutz have high hopes of dropping the Savages. Although Coach Jack Hubbard's basketball squad has now dropped seven games,, the team is practically a shoe-in for the NAIA district playoffs which will be played March 2-4. Two teams from each side of themountains are selected to participate. Pacific Lutheran will be one selection from this side, and Westernlooks to be the other. Among other candidates, Seattle Pacific, St. Martins, College of Puget Sound, and the University of British Columbia have all been defeated by Western. From the other side, EasternWashington and either Gonzaga or Central Washington will probably be picked. Whitworth is also inthe running. Western's hoop team has dropped two straight conference games, and now has a dog fighton its hands to retain third place. Two victories this weekend are essential. Monday nighfs game withUBC is the last of Western's regular season campaign. Bill Wright and Nello Morganti have both beenslumping scoring-wise of late, but the two are still well in front of all other Vikings in this department.Wright has scored 206 points and Morganti 205, both for 11.4 averages. Ray Kycek and Windy Weldhave been the top point producers of late, but both of them are still below double figures. STOPPING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST'S third leading scorer Ray Wilson and beating the second best team in theEvergreen Conference are the problems facing Jack Hubbard's basketballers this weekend. EasternWashington will furnish the opposition on Friday and Whitworth ends the Vikings' final weekend athome on Saturday. Western will have to win at least one Of the two games to insure a third-place finish. The Vikings are tentatively scheduled to meet Pacific Lutheran in the NAIA district playoffs. Thewinner of that game will play the winner of the Eastern Whitworth game. The winner of this match willrepresent the Northwest in the national tournament at Kansas City. WASHBURN HAS SCORED 478POINTS to average 21.7 points for the fourth-place Whitworth five. Another Whitworth player who hasshown well this year is Al Rolf, a 6-8 center. The Viks have beat the Whitman squad once this year, butthe boys from east of the mountains have improved considerably since the start of the season.Eastern handed the Viks a defeat earlier in the season and are currently riding in second place in theconference. Kent Mathison and Al Fackler have done the majority of Eastern's scoring this year.Western Rugby Squad Plays Here Tomorrow EAGER TO RESUME action after postponement of lastweek's game, Coach Joe Davies and his Western rngby team will pit their strength against the University of British Columbia Tomahawks tomorrow at 1:30 p. m. on Western's campus field. The Tomahawks,one of UBC's better rugby teams, will be out to break the Viking win streak and avenge the early season defeat of another UBC squad at the hands of the Western team. The Viks beat the UBC Chiefs in theseason opener. COACH DAVIES is trying to get more speed in the lineup and will revise his startingteam to give an opportunity to players who have been progressing well in practice. A mixup in scheduling caused the cancelling of last week's game between these two teams. Cancellation of the game wasreceived too late for rescheduling with another team. A home-and-home series will be scheduled witha Victoria, B. C, team at a later date. Davies has arranged for Herb Langman, an experienced rugbyplayer, to explain tomorrow's game to the spectators. - S A V E - Cash and Carry Discount Fine DryCleaning Expert Repairs and Alterations Free Minor Repairs Superior Cleaners 207 Chestnut 24-HOUR SERVICE On WEDDING INVITATIONS PRINTWS STATIONBtS PHONE REgent 4-6550 MowBcllinslum National Bank B.

It's Good Enough for the Daily "Student publicity 'flacks' wanted to know yesterday whytheir press 'releases' sometimes are not printed in the Daily. Professor William Ames, journalism facultymember and former Daily adviser, explained that there is a definite lack of time and space foreverything for print handed to the editors. He said the Daily has no particular like or dislike for thesepublicity releases, but he did think the paper should serve as a critic and watchdog of campus activityand student government rather than as a student information service."â€”This from the University ofWashington Daily. Hooray! Somebody has finally been brave enough to put it in print. These are burreasons, too. For student information service, there is the Daily Bulletin. The Collegian does its best tocover the campus, but we must be always aware of the majority of the students-what they are interestedin. And the Daily thinks it has problems. They are a four-to-six-to-eight, page _ DAILY;-;we, are the same weekly. So if your group of say, 23, .has not been, getting weekly coverage, why not move for the club toprint its own newspaper? We have enough trouble just fitting in a\\, the_things that EVERYONE ISINTERESTED IN. And if; we puf in everything we receive, we'd have few or no readersâ€”it would be thatboring. Some of us even think that the Collegian's purpose, to quote the Daily, is "more a critic andwatchdog of campus activity."-This from the W W Collegian. Judge Decrees Editor'Liar TO THECOLLEGIAN EDITOR: I wish to take Issue with a statement which appeared in the COLLEGIAN,February 13, 1959. The statement, at the bottom of column one on page five, read: "The decision hasbeen held up three weeks. Why? Chief Justice J. Speck says; he can't find the) procedures for-operating) the Court." Since ^ihis is not a true statement, it is in simpler terms, a lie. I would offer theseexplanations. First, Chief Justice Speck did not make the quoted statement. Second, the delay hasbeen because of an error in presenting the brief to the Board in accordance with the procedures foundin the October 31, 1958, copy of the COLLEGIAN, which is and has been on file in the COLLEGIANoffice. The whereabouts of the procedures have been known to all concerned for over two weeks and to the members of the Judicial Board since some time BEFORE their publication in the October 31 issueof the COLLEGIAN. My suggestions to the Editorial Staff of the COLLEGIAN are, first, if they wishinformation about the Judicial Board, they are free to consult me as Chairman of that Board. Second, ifthe staff is so desperate for material that it must think up lies to fill its pages, then a briefer publicationwould be in order.

DEAR EDITOR: Is the BOC (Ed.Note: It's now the Legislature) really doing what the majority of the students want? This letter is in regardto the front page editorial by Faith Hearsey in the January 30th edition of the Collegian concerningopposition to the extravagant spending of $2000 for the services of Les Elgart. It seems that the ASBpresident, in trying to Justify the spending of $2000 of ASB funds for a big name band for the JuniorProm, stated that the funds were "monies" which had not been budgeted for any specific purpose. This may be true but he failed to explain where the "monies" came from in the first place. Does the majorityof the student body know that this money comes put of their quarterly fees?

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER APRIL, 1908 LITERARY DEPARTMENT. PIONEER LIFE IN THE LATE SIXTIES. (A True Story by Chelnesha M. Olsen.) The old stockade on the Sevier has long since gone to ruin. It is now a little less than a half a century since that fateful summer, when the Cheyenne lurked in every shadow and in the sage-brush surrounding the town, ready to spring upon the ambitious settler who ventured from the stockade to find some food for the half-starved settlers, or ventured out to his badly suffering crops long ago left to the mercy of the savages who swooped down upon the little town of Richland. And the settlers! Only a few are still living who remember when the men wore rough beards, hunting shirts, weather-beaten and often stained with blood; when the women often went barefooted and wore homespun gowns, for the nearest store was almost one hundred miles distant and could not be reached without great risk of life. Many were those who, driven to desperation, ventured forth, and whose tortured bodies were found later by the scouts. The children, too, seemed to comprehend the danger, and stood the sufferings of the settlement as staunchly as did the grown people, often showing marvelous bravery. There were not many horses in the town, especially those fit for Indian warfare. Several of the fastest were owned by Jacob Schmidt, who was considered one of the bravest and most useful men in the town. He devoted his time to carrying dispatches from Richland to the surrounding settlements, and rode through the Indian infested hills and valleys, lying close to his horse's back to escape the flying bullets of the Indians. He would grow white with hatred at the mention of the "red devils," as he termed them. Two years before, while Schmidt was absent from home, his wife and three small chil- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger dren had been murdered by the savages, and his oldest daughter, then a girl of thirteen years, had been taken into captivity. He later recaptured his daughter, at the same time killing ten of the Indians. Mary inherited her father's bravery; it was she who cared for the horses while her father was engaged in carrying the dispatches. One morning Schmidt learned from a renegade Indian that a neighboring settlement was. to be attacked by the Cheyennes that night, and leaping upon his already saddled steed he hastened with the warning. The day passed, it began to grow late; the sun began to lower, the shadows were lengthening, the sun dropped behind the trees, and still Schmidt had not returned. "What had happened?" the settlers asked one another, for Schmidt was long over due! "Had the Indians killed him?" "He is coming," shouted one of the men. All eyes turned to the direction in which he pointed. Dimly outlined in the distance they beheld a man on horseback coming toward them very swiftly. If it were Schmidt, why was he coming so fast? The rider was within a few yards and the horse was heaving as if it had run a great distance. The man was not Schmidt, but another who had been out scouting and had discovered that it was upon this settlement that the attack was to be made. Schmidt was still out and a dispatch had to be sent for help to Centreville, eighteen miles away, to summon the company of soldiers. Not a man in the town would venture, for the Indians were everywhere and it would be certain-death, they thought. Something had to be done, and that quickly. "Look!" cried a voice. Everyone was speechless as they gazed after a woman's form on a black horse, fast receding in the moonlight. " I t ' s Mary," they whispered, "on black Bess. She's taking the dispatch!" About two hours after the girl's disappearance Schmidt returned. Upon hearing of his-daughter's departure he became frantic and; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 was prevented from remounting his horse and following her by the men, who had all they could do to hold him. He had not slept for three nights and four days, having been carrying messages constantly, but his Mary needed his help. The news of the danger spread over the little town like magic. Men, women and children rushed to the fort. A shot told them that the red men had been sighted. The fields were still dotted with running figures when a volley, and still another, came. As those inside the stockade watched the stream of settlers dash inside the gate they grew cold at the sound which haunted them in their dreams at night—the warwhoop. The deep, hideous gutteral notes of the scalp hallaoing rose and fell with a terrible fierceness. Nearer and nearer came the savages, yelling like demons. Before the rushing savages were a few settlers who had not yet reached the gate. All in, the gate closed with a bang, and instantaneously a shower of bullets beat against it like hail. Inside the stockade there was no confusion, even the little children kept quiet and out of the way. Every man was at his loophole, and every man, too, was aware that every shot he fired must count, for the supply of powder was getting low. The women and older children busied themselves in making bullets and loading the guns for the men at the loopholes. Over all the moon and stars looked down in solemn dignity. Fiercer grew the fight, and lower grew the powder supply. Although this little band of pioneers were doing deadly work there were always plenty of redskins to take the place of the ones who dropped. But the supply of powder was fast giving out. Suddenly the impish yelling ceased. Those on watch could see in the moonlight the skulking black forms moving away in the distance. It was too much to hope that the Indians had given up. "Wonder what their little game is now?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger said Schmidt. "You may depend upon it, they are up to some new deviltry.'' It was a period of intense stillness and fearful suspense; the settlers hardly dared to breathe freely. Nor did the strict vigilance lax; every man at his loophole strained his eyes, peering out into the dim moonlight to detect some sneaking savage. Where was Mary? Was one of those skulking redskins wearing her scalp ? or had she succeeded in reaching the soldiers at Centreville? If help would only arrive in time! was the muttered prayer. They waited an hour—maybe two. It seemed ages to the waiting townspeople. A white-faced woman ran out of her cabin, and in an awe-stricken whisper: "They're boring under the stockade." Which investigation proved to be true, for a stealthy, crunching sound fell upon their listening ears. So this was their scheme. Two silent, determined men took their places near where they thought the hole would be made. The noise kept on at intervals. Men. women and children took places at the walls to listen for that grinding sound. Several other-places were discovered, at each place two men knelt with axes raised to kill the first Indian to come from under the wall. Through the loopholes the watchers could see several black wriggling forms making their way through the grass to the wall. They were becoming bolder again and the silhouettes of several forms carrying something toward the stockade could be seen. They did not have to wait long for soon they smelt smoke. It was small pieces of wood the Indians had carried and they were starting fires all around the walls. Now they were carrying poles. What was to be done ? No powder to shoot with and the Indians about to burn up the fort, and climb over the walls by means of poles. In the cabin where the digging and boring was first heard, the ground was beginning to loosen. A small light was made, showing the guards what the Indians were doing. Finally ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 the ground caved in. The earth was quickly taken out of the hole from the outside and two feathers poked through. Higher and higher they lifted; then a cruel face. The men made quick use of their weapons; then settled to watch once more. After some time had elapsed the dead body of the Indian disappeared and a hideous yell rent the air. Onee again the deep gutteral sound of the warwhoop seemed to come from every side. It was almost daylight. Several feathered heads were seen slowly rising over the stockade wall. The settlers waited breathlessly. They were helpless, and knew now that they would be massacred if help did not come immediately. Suddenly the fearful yelling stopped. A volley rang out some distance away. Soon another volley; this time very much nearer. A flash of hope brightened the solemn faces of the besieged pioneers. Could it really be help coming or was it another band of the Cheyennes ? The Indians seemd to be dissatisfied. They hesitated a moment, and then they could be seen running hither and thither in a confused way. There was a rush, not at the fort this time, but to the heavy woods, for there, riding across the fields, came a band of soldiers. A great cheer came from the townsmen in the stockade as they watched their rescuers rush triumphantly toward the gate, which was swung open to meet them, and the first to enter was Mary. At the sight of her three rousing cheers were given. She had insisted upon returning with the soldiers, knowing that her father would be uneasy until he had her with him again. SENIOR TROUBLES. The close of each school year finds many impatient Seniors daily visiting the various departments in quest of grades, credits, recommendations, assistance on this and other numerous requirements that so concern members of that class. Already have those elderly people versed in pedagogy begun to ply their magic ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger quest to the end of securing that which fits a Normal student for "abnormal" life. At almost any period of the day one may see some members of the faculty, closely and secretly interviewed by a judicious Senior. It may be that the conference is with the teacher in mathematics, when such a question as '' Do you think I display marked ability in mathematics?" is asked. The question comes similarly to the depart ment of education when one asked, "Do yoj think I will make a psychological reasoner?" These and many other worries make the life of the average Senior as busy as a bee in June. Here is the rehearsing of the events that are dated for the near future, as we overheard them betwen two Seniors: "Oh, just think what we have before us; there are our finals, and our back work will all have to be made up soon. I'm conditioned in gym., also in agriculture because my grafts didn 't grow; then we have to have the outlines for our theses in by the fifteenth of April, and the girls think they won't give us longer than the tenth of May to have our graduating dresses finished. And besides this we'll have to get our pictures taken before school closes; then there's the Junior banquet; do hope I'll be able to eat. But just think of the applications we 11 have to send out. Oh! I'll be glad when it's over." ALUMNI. And Undergraduates. (By Clara Tarte.) Misses Nora Corbett and Helen Goldwaith are teaching at Buckley, Wash. Miss Jessie Jamison is now Mrs. G.

Nine years ago, when this school first came-into existence, Dr. Mathes was chosen the administrative head. Dr. Mathes was then occupying the chair of history in the Idaho Normal School at Lewiston. The choice has proven to be a wise one. Under his farseeing and conscientious management the school has prospered greatly. This Normal is the only one in the state that has had but one president. This fact speaks well of Dr. Mathes' ability as an organizer and executive. Dr. Mathes has had many tempting offers, by other institutions of learning, if he would sever his connection with the school. But he is a firm believer in the great future of this institution, and we find him today guiding and directing its manageemnt toward that end. Let us look at just a few of the great changes during the last eight years. In 1900 the campus consisted of frog ponds, rocks and stumps? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 today we have a beautiful plot of ground, and with the plans which are laid for the future there will be no more beautiful campus anywhere. There was no gymnasium, no dormitory, no greenhouse, no society or Y. W. C. A. halls. With the completion of the Science Annex we have the most beautiful building in the state. The faculty has increased from six to twenty-six members. Here a comment should be made upon the kind of faculty which he has chosen. We find all of the faculty strong, broad and intellectual, graduates of various eastern colleges and universities. In bringing about these changes in selecting the members of the faculty, Dr. Mathes has been the ever-present and active factor. It is by these that he is judged by the outside world, but we students, who meet him everyday, who sit in his classes, feel his influence in another way, more subtle and far-reaching. His kindly nature, his refinement and courteous manner has its effect upon the scholars. We leave the school and pass out into the world feeling that we have learned lessons from him never to be forgotten—lessons that we could not have gotten from a less noble character, a less deep nature. And so we find Dr. Mathes respected by the world without, loved and respected by the student body. It is with much pleasure that we publish the original story, found in Literary Department. The management of the paper would like to see it made a permanent feature. Let others follow Miss Olsen's example. One thing which we lack in this school is school spirit. It is not because there is lack of spirit in the schools. Class spirit runs high at times. But it is the prevailing opinion that class spirit is carried to an extreme, and to the extinction of school spirit. A school is a unit and there should be unity between the students We find class contests, class functions better patronized than those where the school as a whole is concerned. Not that we do not believe ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger in class spirit, a great deal of good may be gotten from contests and friendly rivalry, but we should not forget that school matters are far more important than class matters. Let us salute with one accord the "Blue and White," our school colors. What do you think about a school pin? ATHLETICS. (By Noah Davenport.)

The most amusing and really pitiful game of the season we played some time ago with an "alleged" team from the burg of Everson. Guy Dunning, captain. It will be remembered that Mr. Dunning made a record here in times ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 past. One of our professors was heard to apply the name of "Greek gods" to the athletes of the school, and it has occurred to us that this term was suggested by the athlete in a bathing suit who starred for Everson. To the "god" characteristic he added all the charm of a, Romeo and scarce could make a free throw (of which his referee gave him many) without casting languishing eyes at the Juliets in the gallery. We are justly proud of this Normal product the way he sustains his old name. Everson has since forgotten to give us our re-tur game or to return the nine good dollars we gave them. We notice that Mr. Dunning has headed a baseball team of rural teachers to combat city teachers. Probably it is due to this fact that he has overlooked us. Basket ball season has closed at the Normal and with the close of the season activities in the line of athletics cease. We have been unfortunate in getting outside teams to play here, there being no outside team in the gymnasium this year. We notice that Ellensburg Normal is claiming the state championship of all Normals and High School teams on the ground that they won from us and from the champion High School team of Seattle. We would like to call attention to the fact that Ellensburg has not played a single important game outside their own gym. this year. They arranged two dates with us, calling the games off in each case after we had done our advertising. It is all very well for a team to stay in their own so-called gymnasium and boast about beating all comers, but the team that deserves credit for their victories is the one that will move away from home and risk a game. We question this assertion of yours, Mr. McKinstry. and invite you to take a chance away from home. Our season was to close with a game with Snohomish, on March 28, but without notifying us they failed to appear. We made up a team from the school and the local Y. M. C. A., which put up as good a game as Snohomish would have furnished us. We thank the Y. M. C. A. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger boys for their kindness. If there is such a thing as honor in athletic sports we would like to suggest that one or two or three high schools on the coast might profit by practising it when they deal with other schools. The habit of breaking contracts is not a good one to form in the high school. The association has taken up the matter of building an asphalt tennis court in the near future. The Normal has put out a magnificent baseball team. With Mr. Leavy to secure the games and Mr. Bowman to lead the team to victory there will be things doing in baseball. LOCALS. (By Louise Walker and Helen Linden.) THINGS OF INTEREST. The faculty had an enjoyable evening on Wednesday, March 26. This was one of a series of parties of the year. The faculty was divided into three divisions for entertainment, each division to entertain twice during the year. One of these divisions presented a play, "The Shakespearean Conference,'' to the rest of the faculty, after which the east and audience adjourned to the faculty room, where a genuine college spread followed. The following is an extract from the W. W. H. S. Pedestal: First Girl—"Oh, kids, there are 300 girls at Bellingham and only five boys." Second Girl—"Well, five will do me." We would like to inform our Walla Walla friends that we have twenty-five boys, and that quality, not quantity, counts. Mrs. Nettleton entertained very delightfully the Seniors, Saturday evening, March 28. The Shakespearean Conference, which was given Thursday night, was repeated. The class and cast were then escorted to the faculty room, where dainty refreshments were served. Songs and stories concluded the evening's entertainment. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Miss Maud Drake was called home Monday by the serious illness of her father.
