Aloha, MortimerScott Tompkins staff reporter Western President Kenneth Mortimer has accepted appointment aspresident of the University of Hawaii. According to a press release, Mortimer made the followingstatement Nov. 25. "I have informed Western Washington University Board of Trustees that I haveaccepted appointment as president of the University of Hawaii system and chancellor of the University ofHawaii at Manoa, effective not later than April 1,1993." Mortimer became Western's eleventh president in 1988, succeeding G. Robert Ross, who, together with two vice presidents and the pilot, was killed in a light plane crash in Whatcom County on Nov. 4,1987. In the release, Mortimer said the University ofHawaii presidency represents a professional challenge he could not overlook. "Lome and I came toWestern because it was Hawaii bound, continued on page 3 Loan qualification status changes with new financial aid forms By Loretta Richardson staff reporter Ted Hasse, interim assistant director ofWestern's financial resources department, said many changes have been made in the 1993-94academic year's financial- aid rules and some will directly affect students.Manystudentswhohavebeen considered independent before will not be next year. If a student is not 24,has no dependents, is nota veteran of active (notreserve) military duty, and/oris unmarried â€”the student will most likely be considered dependent If a student feels there are unusual circumstances, a petitionprocess is available. There is no guarantee the student's status will be changed, though."Anotherexample (of change) would be that people who were previously ineligible, or maybe not aseligible, especially people wholistedparentinformation, will now be eligible or become more eligible,"Hasse said. Some changes are positive. The new financial-aid application is shorter, needs lessinformation from the students and will be free. Students are also required to use a dark ink pen whenfilling out the form instead of a No. 2 pencil. "I anticipate that it should be a simpler process for studentsand parents," Hasse said. The new regulations do not change the process as much as they define more precisely the requirements for those applying. Many of these changes will not be seen by students andare a matter of how the financial-aid offices at schools process students' information. One changethat will affect students is the independent/dependent status rules. Hasse explained the regulationsfor this are "tighter" and fewer students will fall into the independent category. Kathy Sahlhoff, Western's financial resources interim director, explained that everyone currently on financial aid affected bythis change will be contacted by mail as soon as possible. The letter will explain the changes and howthey affect the individual student. "Congress has not authorized and appropriated any additional funds for work study or forgrants," Hasse explained. "What they have done is open up more loan program funds." A new, unsubsidized loan that students can take out (even if considered dependent) will help thosewhose parents aren'table or willing to acquire an academic loan for them. The government doesn'tsubsidize the interest for this type of loan, but it could make a big difference for some students who previously could hot meet their financial needs. This may be the only type of aid available to somestudents whoonceweren'teligible atall. Hasse's advice to students applying for financial aid next year isto, "Meet the deadlines. Do the form completely and clearly. And never argue with a federal form ... ifyou feel you have unusual circumstances in your life or your family situation that the form doesn't ask for or allow you to show, you could put that in a letter, in writing, to the financial aid office."Alsorecommendediskeeping copies of all information given to the financial-aid office and a copy of theactual financial-aid form sent Maintain a separate file and have these records easily accessible. Thishabit will be very helpful if some type of information is misplaced or simply wasn't re-a- class systemwill cut long lines By Stephen Duncan staff reporter The number of Western students waiting in lineduring advance registration could be reduced to a trickle when Western begins testing a touch-toneregistration program in November 1993.. With the new system, students will be able to call in and register as often as they want from home, and add or drop classes immediately. "We want to make it (the touchtone registration program) open and accessible as possible," said Joe St. Hilaire, Western's registrar. St. Hilaire said the main advantages are the program's efficiency and students won't have to miss classesbecause of registration appointment conflicts. An advisory committee of 15-20 students, staff and facultymembers was assembled to gather information on how the program would best fit the university. VanJohnson, University of Washington's associate registrar, said problems with his school's 548-STARtelephone registration program are minimal. He said some individual mainframes have gone down.However, the main computer system that runs the program hasn't faltered, yet. He said Western's currentprogram of registering by line is further along than the University of Washington's was before its touch-tone program was implemented. "It (the transition) should be less of a problem at Western to switchfrom line registration to touch-tone than we had," Johnson said. Advance registration appointment cardswould still go out, but students could only call at the assigned time and afterwards. One reason forpurchasing the program was to stop students from skipping during registration. St. Hilaire said softwareand program installations alone could cost up to $100,000. He said Western is looking into 20-30companies' software and hardware programs to find one that fits the school's price range and needs. Hesaid the school needs money in advance for full implementation of the touch-tone program by spring,1994. Once implemented, students will register only by phone. Money for the program would come fromsources such as registration operation fees, tuition fees or subletting the use of the program to Aid,continued on page 4 Touch-tone, continued on page 6 ---------- Western Front - 1992 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front THE WESTERN BRIEFS WANT YOU!

(AP) â€” The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) warns that a favorite treat of children - raw cookie dough - can be harmful. The problem is salmonella bacteria. The USDAsaid even homemade ice cream and egg nog can be fatal to the elderly, young and those withweakened immune systems. Officials say the risk of food poisoning increases during the holidays. They warn that some seasonal treats are more likely to be contaminated with salmonella. It can contaminatemany foods but primarily affects meat, egg and dairy products. Foods that contain raw eggs pose aspecial risk. That includes egg nog, hollandaise and raw cookie and cake dough. Study says teenscan't quit smoking after following friends Into the habit WASHINGTON D.C. (AP)â€”A new governmentstudy finds teenagers take up smoking to keep up with friends or older siblings, and then find out theycan't shake the habit. Researchers for theNational Center for Health Statistics estimate 3.7 millionteenagers smoke in the U.S. and 92 percent say they plan to stop in another year. The chief researcheron the study said only about 11.5 percent actually manage to quit. Teens surveyed in 1989 said theysmoke to relax and stay thin. Those whose friends smoke were far more likely to become smokers.Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan says the study shows that most teensunderestimate the addictiveness of tobacco. British, French follow Americans in not practicing safesex, study says LONDON (AP)â€”Two new studies indicate the safe sex message isn'treachingeverybody in Britain and France. In the French survey, one-third of heterosexual men, half ofheterosexual women and a quarter of homosexual or bisexual men reported having had unprotectedsex in the past year. The British study found that mosthomosexual and bisexual men had not beentested for AIDS. The findings are reported in the Dec. 3 issue of the journal Nature. They parallel findings of recent surveys in the United States, Norway and Denmark. Senate urged to use outside cousel inPackwood investigation WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) â€” According to the congressional watchdog groupCommon Cause, the Senateethics committee should retain an outside counsel for its investigation ofOregon Senator Bob Packwood. Common Cause president Fred Wertheimer wrote to Ethics PanelChairman Terry Sanford Dec. 3, saying the committee is at a critical juncture. Wertheimer said seriousquestions have been raised about the committees performance in upholding and enforcing Senate ethics rules and standards. He said Common Cause believes there must be a basic change in the way theSenate oversees and enforces its ethics rules. In the meantime, he said it's essential for the committeeto retain an outside counsel in its investigation of the Packwood case. Packwood faces accusations that he has sexually harassedfemale staff members and lobbyists throughout his 24 years in theSenate. US to lead UN forces in protection of Somali aid WASHINGTON D.C.

By LynnetteBonnema staff reporter Many businesses in Whatcom County are doing their part to reduce waste byrecycling, but few realize the equal importance of buying recycled products. The Third Arrow Project, aone-yearprojectfundedby a grant from the state's Clean Washing-, ton Program, helps businessesimprove their recycling programs -by showing them ways to buy recycled products. Project ManagerFred Miller works with employers to establish a short- and long-term policy of purchasing recycledproducts. "We're trying to get them (the businesses) to realize it's just as important to buy recycledproducts as it is to throw things in the recycling bin," Miller said. Miller said buying recycled products improves the recycling market by making it less expensive for recycling companies to recycle. Millerused mixed waste paper as an example. "If we can find innovative and creative ways to use differentrecyclable material, we can help make it more valuable for recycling companies to pick up the stuff. What we're all about here in the final analysis is to reduce waste," Miller said. Miller said a whole rangeof recycled products exists, and many peopleare unaware of them. "Businesses are intense users ofpaper. Everything from printing paper, copy paper, letter pads, telephone message pads and filefolders is available... On the av-eragedesktop, thereareonly about one or two items that can't bepurchased in recycled content," Miller said. Although Miller admitted recycled products tend to bemore expensive and difficult to distribute, he said he believes those problems will be eliminated asmore businesses become interested and begin buying recycled products. The policy of the 1991 state Legislature is to stimulate the Recycled products, continued on page 5 Aid, continued from page 1ceived. Keep information current at the registrar's office.

This will also help the studentreceive requestspromptly soresponsescanbemade quickly. Sometimes a student may feel they arerepeating themselvesv but instead of worrying about that, just send the data again. "Probably one of themost important things about doing financial aid is keeping papers organized," Hasse emphasized. "Keep paperwork together...that'll really reduce the stress in-your life." Sahlhoff said, "Student FinancialResources is about serving students. We're student advocates first. At the same time, we have toensure that the programs are managed under mandated perimeters. "We want to do everything possibleto ensure that students access the programs fully and are able to continue with their education...We'rehere to remove the barriers that prevent students from pursuing their education."

"The idea is to look at ways where we can get the private sector market activity tomake the difference. If enough people express interest in recycled content products, you'll see some of those price differences or other problem factors about the market distribution basically eliminatingthemselves," Miller said. Miller said the main idea he stresses when talking to executives aboutpurchasing recycled products is that "every little bit counts." Businesses tend to be afraid of the pricedifferences, Miller said. They don't have to buy every single item in recycled content, but if they can buyone item out of ten available to them, it would be beneficial, he said. In the future, when the price isdriven down, businesses will be able to afford more recycled products, Miller said. Since theprojectbeganin August, Miller said he has been pleased with the response he has received from businesses. "Most of the executives I have met with are very open to new ideas and want to know where they can get certainproducts," Miller said. "Several of my clients have instantly switched over to some recycled items. Theemployees like it and feel better about the place they work in." Miller said virtually all localgovernments now use recycled copy paper. "For a local government that's, a big product," Miller said.Other companies like the Whatcom Medical Bureau and television station KVOS have also switched over to recycled products. AIDS Day commemorated with vigil Andrea Dixon staff reporter Guitar musicplayed softly, as Whatcom County community members gathered at the Assumption church inBellingham on Tuesday, Dec. 1, for a candlelight vigil. The vigil was in recognition of World AIDS Day.The community worship service was held to pay respects to those who have died from or are sufferingfrom AIDS or have HIV, said Judy O'Donohoe, co- coordinator of Western's Lesbian/Gay/BisexualAlliance. The vigil was sponsored by Evergreen AIDS Support Services and Associated StudentsLesbian/Gay/Bisexual Alliance. "It's a show of universal support but also a way for people to reflect andremember those they have lost to the disease," said Sylvia Russle of Evergreen AIDS SupportServices. Gerrit Loman, president of Evergreen AIDS Support Services, welcomed the guests. He toldthe crowd that they should celebrate those who are trying to help those suffering from AIDS. He said thatanyone could make a difference. "We must, we will make a differenceâ€” through understanding,compassion, education and giving," Loman said. According to Evergreen, there are 200 documentedcases of HIV/AIDS in Whatcom County. They say the health department estimates there may be asmany as 800 people who are HIV infected. Photo by Steve Dunkelberger Community membersparticipated in a candlelight vigil to observe World AIDS Day and show universal support for people whoselives have been affected by AIDS. Evergreen AIDS Support Services has doubled its caseload since1991 and more than lOpeoplehavediedlocally from AIDS. Currently, there is no known cure for AIDS.People attending the service shared their stories of partners, friends and family members who died ofAIDS. Audience members joined hands and prayed for those who suffer from the disease. "We willremember. We will not forget Our stories weave our lives together and we will not forget," they sang along with performer Geof Morgan. "We came to pray for those who have died from AIDS or have AIDS, andthose with HIV," said senior English major, Marah Rockhold. Junior film studies major, Trina Dewy, said she felt the worship service was a good idea because it gives more awareness to people who think AIDS is a gay disease. "I think this whole thing is good. I know someone with HIV and it's good to showsupport. So many people thought it [AIDS] was a gay disease until Magic Johnson got it. People need to know anyone can get AIDS," Dewy said.

The discussion, "Lessons Learned on the Way to the State Legislature," focusedon the campaign techniques of Sehlin and Dunshee (Sehlin was elected to represent the 10th districtandDunshee waselected to represent the 39th district). The discussion also included the topics of gendergaps in the local and national elections, campaign finance and near future plans of the recently-electedofficials. On the topic of campaign techniques, Dunshee said the key to his success was doorbelling. "Ifound doorbelling much more positive than I expected it to be. Doorbelling is still the most effectivemethod," Dunshee said. He added he also doorbelled those who don't vote and described these people as "alienated from the system." Some non-voters were impressed by his efforts and wanted to knowmore about the candidates, he said. Dunshee doorbelled during the weekdays to talk to women whowere at home. Dunshee referred to these women as either having "money or religion." Sehlin alsodoorbelled. Primarily, he doorbelled voters and said he was discouraged by those who didn't want anyinformation. The key to Sehlin' s success was not so much doorbelling, but rather his opponent, aLibertarian. Sehlin said the Democratic party disenfranchised itself by electing a Libertarian and Sehlinwas able to win many traditionally Democratic votes. Dunshee added he was able to reach into thetraditionally Republican areas and the "new rich" precincts in addition to the Democratic precincts, to win votes. He also used the pro-choice and environmental issues to attract votes. Sehlin and Dunshee(and others involved in the discussion) noticed an "interesting phenomenon" concerning the gendergap in the local and presidential elections. They mentioned that women who work voted for Clintonapproximately 13 percent more than for Bush. Non-working women voted for Bush approximately 20percent more than for Clinton. Kenneth Hoover, chair of the political science department, said thisdemonstrated working women are deviating from historical patterns. In his own election race, Sehlinran against a woman. Sehlin received about 60 percent of the vote to his opponent's 40 percent. Sehlinsaid this was surprising since his candidate, a Libertarian, upheld the radical Libertarian platform ofunregulated schools and no social security. Such ideas are not popular in his district, Sehlin said.Dunshee had a similar experience in his race during the primary elections. While he spent $15,000-$17,000 during his campaign, his female opponent spent nothing, he said. Dunshee received 24percent of the Legislators, continued on page 7 Touch-tone, continued from page 1 other departments on campus. He added other funding options will be explored. Western will not purchase additional software dealing with checks of prerequisites classes, and whether students have fulfilled the stipulations totake the classes. St. Hilaire said there are a couple of reasons for not purchasing, the prerequisiteportion of the touch-tone registration program. The costs of the additional software would-be too muchat this time and Western does not want to overwhelm the student body with too many changes. StHilaire said Western could see a yearly savings of $35,000 from the use of less paper and fewer staffmembers during registration. Theonly lines left would be for independent study class registration, andprobably would require some staff. The checking of prerequisites is a huge job for the computer system. Thecomputerwouldhave to check course-number changes and transfer-student records from previousinstitutions to see what classes carry over. "Students willjbe on an honor system, as always,"^t HQajore said. "It would be foolish for students to take classes they cannot handle." Initial feedbackreceivedfrom a survey taken by the department during spring 1991 class selection fueled this effort to look into touch-tone registration. Students felt Western was not with the times. The advisory committeemembers are soliciting opinions about the program from the staff, faculty and the student body. Some ofthe ideas being considered include closing registration during the times of the day when moststudents are in class. Students would call and register around these time blocks. Students wouldreceive passwords to validate they are registering at their assigned time. Blue slips will containelectronic code numbers to be punched in on a touch-tone phone verifying authenticity. Fordepartments seeking a preregistration period for seniors, codes and restrictions would be assessed. The voice-response system would request the codes when needed.

"I think telephone registration isagood idea," Jennifer Mershon, a juniorbusiness major, said. "A lot of people are not able to make it to class with the way it is now." Mary AnnHendryson, professor of economic and Canadian studies departments, said Western should allowfor advance registration for fall quarter with this touch-tone registration program. She said while shewas attending Colorado University in 1972, phone registration was utilized. She added the job wasefficiently carried out by the switchboard at the college.

The ship was in U.S. waters topick up a goodwill satellite which landed off the Washington coast. American visitors waited in lines forhours to tour the ship, Marshal Kryiov. Many Russian sailors went to Seattle-area homes for Thanksgiving dinner. The sailors on the boat sold and traded parts of their uniforms. An interpreter told reporters thatmost of the sailors made less than $40 per year. Legislators, continued from page 6 vote, but hisopponent was close behind with 20percent of the vote. Dunshee and Sehlin attribute this outcome tolack of voter awareness of the candidates. Often voters will see a woman's name on the ballot and vote for her whether or not they understand or agree with her political views. "The majority of people do not know who we (candidates) are," Dunshee said. Though the majority of people may not know who thecandidates are, the political action committees (PACs) definitely know the candidates. Sehlin notedPACs are very selective about who they give money to in an election. He added PACs tend to givemoney to those who "can" win, not necessarily to those who "will" win. It is more difficult to get theloyalty vote of a candidate who has a strong chance of winning. The candidate who "can" win is morelikely to be loyal, when voting, to the PACs which contributed to his/her campaign. Sehlin said he hadadifficult time getting money from PACs for the general election. PACs are a part of the politicalspectrum long after elections, because they affect the politician's voting decisions. "People (politicians) are afraid to vote without looking at their contribution list,** Dunshee said. Dunshee would like to see ashift to "100 percent public financing." He added a bill should be passed eliminating candidates from thevoters' pamphlet who spend more than an allotted amount of money on a campaign. "The fundamentalissue for democracy is the influence of money on the process," Dunshee said. Dunshee plans to joinstate and local government committees concerning governmentspending. Sehlin said he will adjust tothe political system by studying how the Legislature works and "who gets to play the game." 4 Z gTOKYO HOUSE -gt;A jf\ 'Â£- â€¢!APANESE RESTAURANT "Authentic Tokyo Style Cooking" Sushiâ€¢ Terlyaki â€¢ Tempura etc. Try It To Believe It!

Acouple dressed in matching blue and purple slickers come in, shake off the rain and order Rainier beerand Cicchitti's pizza. The tables are packed with a menagerie of Bellingham folk. College students,musicians and artists listen to a band on the low stage belt out a bluesy tune. Random snatches of loudconversations are audible throughout the smoky bar. "Wow! Laurette sure is pumping the bass in thesystem tonight," one young man says about the woman with wild, red hair who stands at a control boardkitty-corner to the stage. She manipulates black knobs and square, silver levers that run row after rowacross the three-foot board. She peers her head around a speaker barely blocking her vision and decidesto turn the guitar amplifierup a bit. When the band stops playing she says into the microphone in front ofher, "You want to check that amp?" "There aren't many women in this type of business... it's good toput women on stage and behind stage because women especially need the advantage of experience."Laurette Langille The lead singer nods and twangs his guitar and says, "Check, Check, Check.

Part of the openmike's success can be attributed to Langille, who brings Bellingham and out-of-town musicians to play aplethora of musical styles. The music at 3- B is primarily blues with a twist of jazz. Rock V roll cansometimes be heard, but it almost always fades into blues or jazz. Langille calls her job at the 3-B a"volunteer" position, but not by choice.

She said her passion in life is her slide guitar and songwriting. As a child, she began performingwith her older sister's garage theatre productions of fairy tales. She has a way of making any word, phrase or sentence sound like a blues song â€” which has earned her the nickname "The Blueslady." Langille is a solo blues artist who sings and plays the guitar at events all over the region. Occasionally, she canbe seen on-stage at the 3-B belting out a blues tune. After studying music theory and flute at Westernfrom 1975-1977, she decided to pursue vocals and the slide guitar. As far as her decision to pursuemusic, she says she used to hang out with a group of fishermen who told her to start singing. "Theycame over to my house and, yeah, we were all drinking. One said, 'you sing great!' I was just drunkenough to believe him. That's how I started gigging and running open mikes." It was ten years ago whenshe began running open mikes in Bellingham. Langille says she has changed her location fourtimes.butthe 3-B is her best location yet. "Thursday night open mikes have really evolved and theparticipation is tremendous," she says as she brushes her hair from her eyes and smiles. "The people at3-B have been truly supportive of open mike. Most of the guys there (the owners) are pretty much intoalternative rock â€” understandably, because that's primarily what they play. I think it took them awhile toappreciate the show for what it was. Now, they're pretty taken aback from it and I really appreciate that,"Langille smiles and turns to her nine-month-old daughter, Tempeste, who plays at her feet. Langillebends down and grabs a bottle out of a jam-packed diaper bag. She explains the crowd and atmosphereat the 3-B as she mixes up a banana-colored liquid for Tempeste's lunch. "It changes so much from week to week. It's hard to make a generalization about the crowd, but it starts off quiet and just gets louder asthe beer flows. Sometimes it's mellow and sometimes it's wild, it depends on the crowd.But, I would sayit's predominantly wild." She explains when she had open mike in other bars, the crowd and musicianswere a lot different. "At Cal's, it seemed really obnoxious. Musically, it took the musicians a long time toaccept the transition from Cal's to the 3-B. They had to augment their sound and learn the house system.It was a challenge for most" Langille said the transition to 3-B from Cal's Tavern was difficult for herbecause of the idiosyncrasies Of the sound system. "I wasn't used to running all the channels. It took agreat deal of time before I stopped feeling overwhelmed, but I'm a one-woman act. Now, musicians thatplay other nights ask me questions about the system. It's great." Other Bellingham bars and taverns have men working the sound board at open mikes. Langille is truly a one-woman act, which is obvious whenone watches her at the 3-B because she handles everything. She helps set up the microphones, theinstruments and equipment, she runs the soundcheck and still manages to find time to talk to hermany friends that come to open mike every week. "There aren't many women in this type of business(running sound). It seems as if every mistake or fault a woman makes will get jumped on. It's just theway it is with all women. It's good to put women on stage and behind stage because women especiallyneed the advantage of experience. She says it's difficult being a single mom, especially when she hasto find a baby-sitter for Tempeste. However, Langille says the results aremore than worth the struggle.She sometimes brings Tempeste along when she sings and plays her slide guitar in her spare time atfestivals in Winslow, Seattle and all over the region. Langille also edits and writes for Northwest Eventsin Bellingham. Most people who encounter Langille wonder how she does it. She's a journalist, amusician, a songwriter, a sound technician and a single mom. Langille sums it all up by saying, "It's ahelluva lot of work, but I love it." ---------- Western Front - 1992 December 4 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front Indian Street Pottery Shopping is an art By Donna O. Fairchild staff reporterEugene Lewis's most extraordinary art work greets you as you open the front door to the Indian StreetPottery Shop. His wall platters show how ceramics, drawing, painting and sculpture can be combined tomake a single statement. Lewis points to a platter and says, "I might modify a rim, glaze over it, add awash of color, scratch into it and fire it sometimes as much as five times before it's completed. Herepottery is used as a format for painting." The folksy character of the little tan house with blue trim thatserves as Lewis's shop and studio is a cover-up for the sophisticated style of pottery inside. Once you'vemade the adjustment, curiosity carries you the rest of the way through two small rooms laden withdinnerware, pitchers, vases, platters, bowls, lamps, planters, wall vases, mugs and even ceramic sinks,Lewis's most recent enterprise. Some vases shine with a bronze metallic luster. Others have a dark,smoky cast, as though recently unearthed from an archaeological dig. These pieces are called copperraku. Lewis printed a statement of his definition of raku. "Raku pottery has its roots in the philosophy and tradition of Zen Buddhism. Its creation is not merely a craft but a deep spiritual experience, an inquiryinto the essence of life. The ware is low fired and porous. It is pottery apart from utilitarian function. Eachpiece is pulled from the kiln individually while it is still glowing hot. Wood chips or other organic materialsare used to smoke the pot and affect the surface. There is an all-consuming relationship between the potand the person creating it. A good pot reflects this personal interchange and transcends material andfunction." When asked how much of his work relates to technique and how much to artisticexpression, Lewis groaned, laid back his head, ran his fingers through his hair, shifted in his chair andsaid, "Would you repeat that question, please?" His wife, Ene, a painter, business partner and co-ownerof the shop, helped Eugene Lewis Photo by Donna O.Fairchild out 'Well, I mink art expression comes first and technique comes later." Lewis said, "If you take any given piece, the percentage will vary, and Iwould be hard pressed to say what that percentage is." Then he said, "I have a Picasso story for you.Once a collector tried to impress Picasso by showing him a Picasso painting he had just bought Picassosaid it was a fraud. So the collector went back to the art dealer and told him what Picasso had said. Butthe dealer said the painting was genuine. The collector went back to Picasso and told him what the dealer said. Picasso said, 'I did not say I didn't do it I said it was a fraud.'" "Sometimes I will do a piece andhave expectations but it won't happen. Then I will come back two years later and will be struck by it,"Lewis said. Many times big pieces will be retired until he gets something with resonance expressing adepth of experience. "In some types of work I will push it to the limit." That "push" drove Ene and Eugene to Bellingham from New York 13 years ago. Bom and raised there, they met at the Alfred University, partof theNew York State College of Ceramics and one of thefinest in the country. . . ; , , ,/ After they married and began raising two sons in the 60s, they realized an income through art sales alone made life a littleskimpy. But they clung to a dream which moved them in and around New York City and upstate NewYork in search of the right environment to practice their art and support themselves. Ene's brother wasteaching at the University of British Columbia and friends were scattered along the west coast. After threevisits to the Bellingham area, they moved here and found an artist's haven. Ene said Bellingham is asupportive place. Most of their friends are in the arts and often indulge in potlucks together. "We know thegreatest cooks in town," she said. The Lewis's look forward to the construction of the Northwest Centerfor Art, which will be built just west of the Whatcom Museum. They'd like to run a co-op gallery in the artcenter through which they'd retail their art.

AAAGGGGHHH!!! Being objective, the performance of WendyWasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles wasn't all as bad as that, but it came near it several timesthroughout the piece. Take three parts meaningless drivel, seven parts despicable characters whoselives are about as pathetic and as near a soap opera as they can possibly get, add a scant set and atedious soundtrack; just add water and you have the type of formula writing that has been taking up toomuch space in the theater (especially coming from the New York area) over the past few years. If youcan get past the fact no one in their right mind could sympathize with these characters and theirelitist, stomach-churning problems, one might just find the makings of some fairly fine performances from the cast of The Heidi Chronicles. Somehow, without the aid of a decent script, Melinda Graham, whoplayed the character of Heidi, Brian Culver, who played Peter Patrone and Andrew Cuk, who portrayedthe wonderfully despicable character of Scoop Rosenbaum, were able to pull the show together andmake it at least viewable. The first act took place between the years of 1965 and 1977, butmostly in the '70s. People old enough to remember thoseyearswillmostlikely agree with me they were notsomething worth reliving, or watching a re-enactmentonstage,forthatmatter. The '70s are a time bestforgot. Even through all this difficulty, the actors pulled it together late in the first act and made at leastthe character studies somewhat appealing. Andrew Cuk, a graduate student and a professional actor,managed a fine performance. His character was intended to be this loathsome, womanizing sort whothe audience would all unite against and lynch by the end of the play, but it seemed that the reverseeffect was taking place. This is by no means the fault of Cuk, but possibly the fault of the writer,making the other characters even more despicable than that of Scoop. He became the sole reason Icontinued watching the performance with anything resembling interest He was witty, sharp tonguedand delightfully evil at times. Thank you, Andrew, for making the performance bearable. The character ofPeter Patrone, played by Brian Culver was a delight to watch as well.

For the most part, Patrone was another dour yet witty and likable character,when he wasn't going on about women's issues or being cliche in his homosexuality. And finally, wecome to the part of Heidi Holland herself. I had to ask myself if this was really justan autobiography ofWasserstein. Who knows? But for the most part, Melinda Graham, also a graduate student, did a finejob bringing her character to life and forcing the audience to care what would become of her in the end.As a whole, The Heidi Chronicles never managed to get things going. There was never any suspensegenerated until almost the very end, when Heidi tells her friend Peter that she is going to run away andstart over again because, gulp, she doesn't know what she wants out of life or what makes her trulyhappy (at what, age 40? What a pity). Is this suspense? Another distracting factor was the use of alecture hall sequence in the beginning of both acts. The character represented there as Holland in noway resembled the character in the meat of the play. It seemed unnecessary and distracting. It couldonly be judged as an attempt by the authors to disguise the lack of overall plot. In summary, thumbsdown for the play in general, but thumbs up for three spectacular actors and their director, DennisCatrell, who were able to pull off decent performances despite their scripts. This was the type of playthat still must be seen, as it is the type of piece that you love to hate. It was good fun in parts.

Let's get a bunch of the greatest collegeathletes in the world together and have them play football every Saturday in the fall. They'll create a tonof revenue for their schools and the television networks. Fans around the country will get swept up inrooting for their favorites and wondering just who is the best team in the nation. Here's where it getsgood. At the end of the season we'll have a bunch of bowl games that mean next to nothing but havereally neat parades and floats and halftime shows. Then after the bowl games we'll let reporters andsportswriters vote on who's the best team in the country - in two different polls, yet. Yeah, I said vote.And sportswriters should vote as well. As if there are a bunch that you want to decide your nationalchampion... If this scenario sounds completely ridiculous to you, that's because... IT IS!!! Yet, it'sexactly what happens every year in big-time college football. Pleaseâ€”in the name of all that's right inthe worldâ€”adoptaplayoff system. Give me one good reason why there shouldn't be a college footballplayoff system and I'll quit ranting right now. Wrong! It was a trick question - there are no good reasons.As long as there is no playoff there will always be doubt as to who's the best team in the country. In thepast two years, even co-national champions with different teams have won each poll, including our ownbeloved Huskies splitting with Miami last year. ("Hey guys, we're national champions! Well, kind of.")Every other sport in every other level of collegiate athletics determines their champion on the field, andthe student athletes in question come through it just fine. Indeed, if you read the comments of our ownViking football team or cross country participants who went to the national playoffs, you heard nothingbut glowing reports from abunch of genuinely excited players and coaches. So don't give me thisnewfangled "bowl coalition," which is supposed to increase thechances of the best teams meeting onNew Year's Day. A weak effort by the NCAA. Do it right ~ and I'll even let traditionalists keep the pollsand the bowls. Cut a game or two off the regular season and then have the bowl games during the firstweek of December instead of late December and New Year's Day. Then â€” and only then â€” let thepollsters vote for the top teams in the country. Take the top eight teams and let them play it off in a firstvs. eighth, second vs. seventh, etc. format on the next three Saturdays on some neutral fields. Put it on pay-per-view and you could pay off the national debt. It's just a suggestion. It would leave nothing todoubt and would be more exciting than having to end with the Tangerine Bowl.

Viking football made history by being the first-ever Western team to qualify for anational playoff berth. Both the men'sandwomen'scross-couritry teams went to Kenosha, Wis. fornationals, and the men's soccer team faltered just two games away from qualifying for the nationaltournament. Football The Vikings began the season with wins over Western Oregon State College andEastern Oregon State College, but fell to Simon Fraser University and Pacific Lutheran University to post a 2-2 record early in the season. Western recovered from the losses and went on to win its last fivegames of the season, including a 37-7 victory over 12th-ranked Central Washington University. TheVikings' win over Central bumped their national ranking up to 15th and qualified them for their first-ever appearance in the national playoffs. The appearance was short-lived, however, as the Vikings weretrounced by Linfieldl College, 26-0, in the first round. The Vikings will graduate 16 seniors from thisyear's team, but will return quarterback Jason Stiles an all-league running back Jonl Brunaugh nextseason, as well as a number of other! up-and-coming young players in hopes of matching thisseason's success.

Fairchild staff reporter Jean Gorton carved her community planning career in Bellinghamalong the path of her choice. "I have a tremendous interest in community â€” what makes it function.That propelled me to be involved in community organization and planning," she said. Heraccomplishments in the 1970s paved the way for her position as vice president of planning anddirector of public affairs at the Trillium Corporation. Trillium develops commercial, recreational andresidential property and manages about 100,000 acres of agricultural and forestry lands. Yet, whenasked about her success, the professional woman smiled, looked away and shook her head self-consciously. "Idon'tthink people know they are successful. That is in the eyes of someone else." Thesoft-shaded conference roominTrillium's downtownhead-quarters cradled a silence. Then she saidsuccess for her is a "willingness to take risks and work with people in controversial situationsâ€”to listen and work with all sides. Anything in planning is controversial. The issue is always difficult to resolve."Being in the right place at the right time could have contributed to it, she added. Gorton received hermaster's degree in sociology, with a focus on community studies, from Washington State University in 1974. She moved to Bellingham from Pullman and volunteered in conducting a public-opinion surveyon what people wanted in their community. "I was hired by the city and became liaison for the HuxleyCollege in 'Goals for Bellingham,'" Gorton said. "I worked with environmental educators Skip Everett, Claire Dyckman and John Miles." Community development opportunities soon followed, such asdowntown re-development, the public transit terminal design and park planning. The first woman towork on the Whatcom County Planning Commission in 1974, Gorton had an opportunity to observeTrillium's president, David Syre, in his treatment of the Snowater project, a 10- acre recreationalcommunity in Glacier near MountBaker. She liked his plan. Gorton's planning commitment throughoutthe 1970s enabled her to become acquainted with Syre, and he hired her in mid-1983 as his firstprofessional assistant. During the nearly 10-year period Gorton has worked for Trillium, she's donealmost every phase of real-estate development and acquisition land planning, from constructionmanagement to sales and leasing.

Even though thestrength of democracy is the free-market system, Gorton wonders if anybody knows if it works."Economic motivation drives decision-making," she says, "but our economy and social system is highlyregulated. We have over-regulation at this point. We certainly don't have a free-market system."Gorton said she feels the protection of the individual has been carried to such an extreme thatregu-lation has entered every aspect of our personal lives â€” health care, education, building, land use, Jean Gorton manufacturing and private enterprise. Personal responsibility is then taken away from theindividual. "This is an observation and not a value judgment," she said. Gorton thinks the extreme ofover-regulation vs. a lack of regulation need to change so that our society can return to a placewhere business can function. The major problem in our economic system, she said, is a lack ofunderstanding the importance of participating in the global economy. "We don't recognize and functionas though we're a part of the world economy." Gorton's years of planning experience have given her apicture of the biggest economic issues facing Bellingham and Whatcom County. The area should beable to attract basic industry so wealth will generate through high-paying jobs as in manufacturing,she said. "We are in an isolated area with a high standard of living. We attract people without attractingjobs." But she's quick to add we could do it if we focus on our proximity to the Pacific Rim and Asia, aswell as value more highly technical and information sectors of the economy. The Overall EconomicDevelopment Program, the Council of Governments and the Fourth Corner Development Group aretrying to work out a strategy to help the local economy, Gorton said. Gorton said Corporations shouldhelp low-incomeand joblesspeople. "We have a responsibility to provide employment, care for theinterest of employees and give work incentives. And we have a responsibility to the community tocontribute to its enhancement through the arts, environment and medical research," she said. Trilliumhas donated to such groups as the Mount Baker Theatre, Whatcom Museum of History and Art, PugetSounders, North Cascades Institute, Huxley College, the Lighthouse Mission, Women's Care Shelterand others. Although Gorton spoke for herself , she said, "The people who work at Trillium are verycommitted to its goals and mission because they feel a part of the organization â€” they feel connected.There is a sense of family." She said every year Trillium gives the children of employees a Christmasparty. An employment benefit is the use of a staff condominium at the Semiahmoo resort, in Blaine,which is on reserve for employees and their families. Gorton's financial gains have enabled her to savemoney, buy a home and invest with two partners in a low-income rent-controlled house â€” an eight-unitapartment building in the city. She finds time to do volunteer work for the Mount Baker Theatre, the RedCross and Ly dia Place. She tries to make time to balance her mental output with physical activities,like walking, biking and skiing. Offering advice to Western students, Gorton said, "Nobody will givethem a job because they are nice, smiling people who want a job. They need to prepare themselves to contribute to society and work at what they enjoy doing." WESTERN WASHINGTON UNlVERSfTYWestern Men's Basketball 7:30 Fit Dec. 4 vs. FCA 7:30 Sat.

As refinery manager, he held thehighest position at the Cherry Point refinery. ARCO employs more than 400 people in WhatcomCounty, providing a healthy tax base and a diversity of employment opportunities for the area.Formway is still an acting consultant for ARCO and is heavily in-volvedincommunity activities. Since1968, when he and his family moved to the Northwest from ARCO headquarters in New York, Formway has served as president of the Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the United Way fund drive.Among other things, he is the chairman of the YMC A capitol fund drive, amember of the WesternFoundation and a member of the advisory council for Western's business school. - Formway said hefeels the chief economic issue facing the Bellingham area, United States and the world is a lack ofgood jobs that pay enough money to make a living from. He added that providing more job opportunities for graduates and reforming the education system are ways the situation could be improved. "I thinkour schools are turning out highly qualified graduates," Formway said. "Unfortunately our under-fundedstate higher education is turning away students." Formway said community colleges are turning awayhalf of the students that apply.

After two years in New York, and after Sinclair Oil merged with ARCO, hetransferred to Bellingham to work at the Cherry Point refinery. In 1979 he became the refinery's manager. When asked his perception of how the free-market system in the United States is working, heexpressed some concern that the United States is unable to provide the level of employment that isdemanded. The United States has not recognized its need to enter the global market, he added. "Weare becoming more and more a global economy," Formway said. "We have to be a part of the globaleconomy.

Today, he and two of hissons, Michael and Jim, employ 150 people, plus sales staff, at their Bellingham companies, Allsop, Inc. ^ and Softride. The two companies participate in virtually every aspect of the industrial process, frominventing products to manufacturing, assembling, packaging, marketing and _ distributing them toretailers such as K mart, Sears, Walmart and thousands of smaller dealers and chains across theUnited States and in foreign countries. The process begins with the invention and design of products * ranging from the latest in bicycle technology at Softride to computer accessories, audio/visualcleaners, and tennis strings at Allsop, Inc. The invention that started it all 28 years ago was called a"Boot- In." It was a device for storing and } carrying ski boots. From the Boot-In, the Allsops expandedtheir business and began producing ski poles and bindings. "At first, we bought the partsfromamanufacturer and assembled them, and found a distributor to ) distribute for us," Jim explained.This middle-man role eventually began causing problems for the company when plastic equipmenttook over the ski industry. However, the ensuing difficulties actually helped their business grow into what fc it is today. "We werehaving problems with the quality of plastic, so we bought aplastic machine andgot into plastic manufacturing," Jim said. "Eventually, we took over distributing too." Although it wastough starting a business 30 years ago, all three men agreed that it is even more difficult today. "It's 10times harder to start a business now," Jim said. "There are unfriendly banks, liabilities â€” unrealisticexpectations." The Allsops said one reason the U.S. economy is struggling is because of the difficulty involved in beginning and operating a small business today. "What makes America great is smallbusiness people," Michael said. "They provide jobs and new ideas. The biggest issue in making theUnited States great again is to help small businesses." Unfortunately, the government isdoing just theopposite, the Allsops said. "The government does everything in its power to throw roadblocks andobstacles in your path," Jim said. "Government needs to work as a partner, instead of an adversary,"Michael added. "We've been in business 28 years and not once have we ever had a mayor or acongressman come visit us. And it's not from a lack of invitations. It seems kind of crazy to me. Theyspend money trying to getnew businesses inhere, instead of trying to help us and find out what we needâ€” to hire more people." "I think business is misunderstood," Jim said. "Everything comesfrombusiness. But there's a mistrust that should never have been there. We're people just like everyoneelse. Business is sort of theGolden Goose. It needs to be fostered and nourished." "No one ever sitson money. It's out working for other people. A businessman invests it in his business, expands thebusiness, hires people and goes on helping those around him," Ivor said. As one of the onlymanufacturers in the United States producing consumer electronic goods, computer accessoriesand bikes, Michael said competition with foreign companies is a fact of life. For many U.S.businesses, ignoring or denying foreign competition is another major problem. The Allsops referredto the struggling American auto industry as an example of this. "American companies have to dealwith foreign competition," Michael said. "I think Chrysler has finally acknowledged that. They'vegotanew future ahead of them. It takes them 18 months to completely design and build a new car. Ittakes GM over four years." Another harsh fact facing not only American businesses, but Americangovernment as well, is the foreign competition plays by different rules. Japanese and Europeancompanies are working with their governments to be successful, rather than making one another's livesdifficult, Michael and Jim pointed out. "If wedon'tproduce as a country, we won't increase our standard ofliving," Jim said. "The United States has to get into the ball game with other countries and leam toplay by international rules," Michael said. The Allsop's broad-based product market has also allowedFrom left: Ivor, Jim and Michael Allsop them to weather the recession relatively untouched. "We'venoticed it, but we haven't really been affected," Michael said. "It's not so bad in this state, and we feel itmore globally than locally." So what advice did these three menhaveforcollegestudents enteringtoday's job market? Michael, who attended the University of Denver on a ski scholarship and thenwent straight to work with his father, said, "Get lots of education. College is a place to find out you don'tknow very much. Be flexible." Jim attended the University of Washington on a ski scholarship beforegoing to work with his father and brother. "Leam computers and be open-minded," Jim advised. "Bewilling to work at the bottom level. Young people today tend to be impatient. They want to start at thetop. The system doesn't work like that. You can't learn that much in college. It's only a background....Be tenacious and patient Learn as much as you can and be willing to learn a lot more." "You'll learn alot more on the job than you did at college," Ivor said. After two years of college, he worked for theVeteran's Administration for 13 years and then managed the Mount Baker and Snoqualmie skiareas before launching his own business. Michael, who has a son in college, said he sees one majorproblem between colleges and the business world. "There's ahuge gap between small businesses anduniversities," he said. "Students have to find us. They have to find the smaller businesses. I thinkcolleges make a mistake not to contact small businesses. In the end, that's where most students goto work. But you never see them at the (job fairs). Big companies are not where the jobs are anymore.The opportunities are with small companies." Company's success hinges on engaging work, qualityemployees By Jeff Misel staff reporter * Wilder Construction Company was founded in 1911 in Blaineunder the name of C.V. Wilder Co. by Charles V. Wilder Sr. The company's first job was for $35 andinvolved hauling shingle bolts by horse-and-trailer. By 1937, the company had % outgrown its Blaineheadquarters and moved to Bellingham. Since that time its activities have grown to include constructionof dams, major highways and various industrial projects in both Washington and Alaska. Chairman of the Board Charles I V. Wilder Jr. graduated from the University of Washington in 1951 with a degree in civilengineering, and has worked full-time with the company since 1953. When asked how he got where heis today, Wilder said, "You've got to thoroughly enjoy what you're doing. You've gotto enjoy your work.You've got to look forward to getting up in the morning and going out and doing something constructive. If you get to the point where you don't like what your vocation is, you better hunt for something else,because there's no way in the world you'll be successful doing something you don't enjoy. I thoroughlyenjoy the construction business. It's the most fascinating business in the world, as far as I'mconcerned." Besides his enjoyment of his work, Wilder attributes the company's success to thequality of people working there. "We've built an extremely good organization of people. The longevity ofthe people around here is very high . for a construction company. Not many people come to work for usand leave â€” that we really want to keep," he said. Many of the employees have been with the company 20 years or longer. Wilder acknowledged there is Charles V. Wilder Jr. trouble in the economy. 'Thereare definitely problems," he said, "but if you think we've got problems, try Russia on for size. You justcan't imagine how fortunate we are to have been bom and live here in America arid not have to put upwith what they are (putting up with) at this point."

It is also to provide anoutlet for students, faculty, staff and Bellingham community members. We strive to approach each issuewith fairness and sensitivity. Our goal is not to be biased of offensive, but to synthesize and embody thetruth surrounding each issue, conflict or subject that presents itself in our community. This quarter wehave shocked, and even offended some readers with our Frontline editorials. We received much criticismin written and verbal form. The Frontlines were not intended to offend, but to provoke vital thoughtimportant to a campus community. Because we've received so many responses, we feel we've served ourpurpose on this campus â€” to stimulate thought. We are students trying to educate ourselves in a fieldwe find intriguing and thought-provoking. This quarter we tried out new ideas and attempted to create aforum for discourse. We received and printed commentaries and news and feature articles from writersoutside our staff â€” something lacking in the past. We also incorporated a literary page into the accentsection, which brought in yetmore talent. Lately, we've brought anew look to the Front by increasing thepoint size of the text for improved readability. We've been criticized for our coverage, chastised forinaccuracies. We welcome the criticism openly because, as mentioned earlier, we are students who arestill learning. Without response, we would have no indication of the levity of our messages. We would like to emphasize that our publication is open to suggestions. Throughout the quarter, we' ve publishedinvitations to submit commentaries, news, entertainment and feature articles. Although we received fewresponses at the beginning of the quarter, campus and community involvement has increased. Wehope this interest will continue. In the past few months, we've covered issues such as: multiculturalism,gender equity, racism, AIDS, sexualharassment, homophobia, homelessness and the economicrecession â€” to name a few. We've encouraged students to have an active voice in their campus, stateand national governments. We've especially tried to rally interest from our readers concerning theproposed budget cuts that could come next year. Money is on the minds of many in our community,especially after considering the economic climate of Bellingham. In this issue, we decided to take on theeconomic issue from a different perspective. We contacted several successful local businesspeople andasked for their opinions on the economic issues important to our community and nation. We hope ourreaders will find the nature of the articles interesting, as we feel it is important to collect as many differingopinions as possible regarding economic problems. In future quarters, we hope our readers will becomeeven more involved with our campus newspaper. We also hope students will continue to use the Front asan outlet for expression. As we've printed time and again, don't just sit there, contribute to the Front! Ourultimate mission is one of social responsibility. In order for our staff to pursue fairness and truth withsensitivity, we are partially dependent on the community to help guide us on our path. If we misssomething or, in your eyes, need improvement in writing or coverage, contact The Western Front withyour suggestions. We're a campus newspaper waiting for your campus and community news â€” try usout. â€”Sue Kidd, editor-in-chief The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Sue Kidd; Managing editor, GeoffreyPatrick; News editor, Sam Kitchell; Assistant News editor, R.E.

L.BtMQUisTo/rz Student greets success beforegraduation By Michele Thielke staff reporter Christine Thompson is one Western student who is notconcerned about finding a job after graduation. Thompson is the vice president of Seven Sisters Inc.,an electrical contracting company located in Sedro Wooley. The company employs anywhere from 50-90 workers, depending on the projects it's involved with. Last year the company brought in over $5.5million in sales, Thompson, who said hard work and determination are the keys to her success inbusiness, takes eight credits per quarter at Western in addition to working a 45-50 hours each week atSeven Sisters. She is working towards a bachelor's degree in business management. Seven Sisterswas founded in 1981 after Thompson's father sold the electrical division of his, mechanical contractingcompany to his seven daughters. The seven sisters own equal shares in the company. Thompson'ssister Nancy is president of the company. Thompson went to work for the company six months after itwas founded. She said the electrical part of her father's company was earning one-half to three-fourthsmillion in sales when it became Seven Sisters. Thompson graduated from Sedro Wooley High School in 1970, and in 1971 married and moved to Bellingham. Before Seven Sisters she worked for Uniflite inaccounts payable, purchasing and as a receptionist. Seven Sisters' primary work is in industrialelectrical contracting. It has worked with ARCO, Intalco and Scott Papers. The company has alsoexpanded by moving into public works projects. In Bellingham it has worked on the medical artsfacility and the Nelson Harbor Building. Thompson said in the second year she and her sister ran thebusiness they lost a lot of money on their first public works job in Seattle. She said it took themabout two or three years after that to pull things back together. "Maybe someone who didn't have asmuch tenacity would have just given up," Thompson said. Thompson said it is quite an achievement fora construction company to make it past its first five years. "A lot of companies go bankrupt in thatwindow so we can feel good about making it for 11 Christine Thompson years," Thompson said.Thompson said the most important traits graduates need to succeed in business are creativity,flexibility and the ability to work with people. "Getting along with people is themostcritical e l e m en t , " Thompsonsaid. She said this is especially true because of the e m p h a s i s placed oncustomer service in business today. "If you can't provide those needs for customers, you're notgoing to make it. You hear it all the time: service,, service, service," Thompson said. She also saidstudents should get practical experience working in business, rather than going through high school andcollege and never having a job. Thompson said the United States educational system should focus onteaching students how to learn, as opposed to rote memorization of facts. "If you give them the skillsto learn they can learn anything. You don't have to be in a school situation," Thompson said. Thompsonsaid the United States needs to have more aggressive technology industries. "The G.M.s and thesteel plants... those businesses arenot what they were," she said. She said while technology, suchas robotics, may take away some jobs, they will create others. "If we can have the people resources todo those kind of things it will be to our benefit," Thompson said. Thompson said encouragingmanaged growth is the key to solving economic problems in Whatcom County. She said Bellis Fairis anexampleof growth whichcaused a lot of businesses to locate in Whatcom County. 'A lot of peopledidn't want Bellis Fair but now it's there people see it brings a lot of value to the community,"she said.She also said free trade was essential to Whatcom County's economy. Thompson said it is important that the growth be managed, and said it should take into account environmental concerns. "I feel that...refineries argt;d Intalco have a value here, but as an individual I'd like to see more businesses comeinto this area that are less harmful to the environment," Thompson said. She said businesses have aresponsibility to their communities. "Personally, I feel strongly toward taking care of the communitybut I also feel strongly that those people who are capable of working should," Thompson said. "I have areal problem withpeople who think that society owes them a living... if someone has taken the time toleam a skill they should be given the opportunity to use it, but I don't think they should be given apaycheck just because," she said. Thompson said Seven Sisters Inc. has very high ethicalstandards. For example, it does not engage in the common construction company practice of bid-peddling, where one company will tell another what a competitor's low price is. "When we look at hiring people, we lookfor those who have the same values that we as an organization believe in," Thompsonsaid. ---------- Western Front - 1992 December 4 - Page 19 ---------- December 4,1992 LETTERS The Western Front 19 * Abolishing grades, an insufficient solution DearEditor: I would like to respond to Bob Keller's opinion piece about the pre- W sumed tradeoff betweengrades and learning. I agree that to many students, grades do "denote character, worth and personalvalidation" as opposed to a measure of academic achievementin a particular class. And, that gradeinflation does diminish the W apparent achievement of those who work hard in hard classes. I also agree that it is hard to measure anything as complex andmultifaceted as learning on a simplistic scale of zeroto four, to paraphrase his wording. However, I question the practicality of his con- Â£ elusion that sincefor many students grades are more important than, and thus hinder learning, they should be abolished. Ithink the problem is deeper than merely a question of misplaced priorities. Abolishing grades doesn' taddress the underlying reason Â£ wiry students value grades more than learning, which is the popularattitude that school is to be attended for instrumental reasons. Learning for any reason other than toget a good grade is seen as an impediment to reality, and most importantly, to fun. * I see this attitudeoften, especially in the guise of well-meaning relatives and friends who ask me, "Well, what are yougoing to do with a Spanish major and a Japanese minor?" or the variant, "Oh, that's so practical â€”you'll be able to get a good job with that." The assumption that "getting a good job," and that languagesare merely a means to this presumed end, alternately amuses and frustrates me. The fact that perhapsthis is what fascinates and interests me most is not imagined, or even accepted as a valid justificationfor studying what I am studying. When I mention that I am studying languages because I enjoy them,people usually advise me to take some business classes (nothing against business classes; whatlresent is the implication that languages are worthless in and of themselves). Apparently, majoring insomething one enjoys, rather than in something "practical" is ludicrous, evidence of naivete (if notstupidity), misguided, etc. This is, inmany ways, amusing to me. But, at the same time I find itfrustrating because it is evidence of a prevalent "anti-academic" atmosphere in our society. "Anti-academic" in the sense that learning is seen as the means to an end rather man an end worth attainingon its own merits. It is this attitude toward learning and self-improvement that manifests itself inpeople valuing grades, the tangible products of education "demanded by graduate schools and futureemployers, the coin of the realm." It is the fact that the problem of grades mattering more than learningis merely a symptom of the real problem, rather than the problem itself, that makes abolishing gradesimpractical for attaining the end of making learning matter more to society. Look at the popular (asopposed to academic or public) reputations of institutions such as Fairhaven College or the EvergreenState College, who have adopted the"altemativemodels" of grading that exist Their students are deridedas "greeners," "granolas," "out of touch hippies," etc. We've all heard them, even if we don't admit tousing or believing them. Not that these schools are bad institutions; in fact they are models of truelearning and I admire them for that as well as their attempt to resolve the problem of the overemphasison grades. It's just that abolishing grades in and of itself is an insufficient solution (though, admittedly,I am not yet sure what to do about the problem myself, and abolishing grades is a nice, practical,tangible solution). Cheryl Adams Veterans should be honored, not stereotyped Dear Editor: I amwriting in response to your Frontline editorial on Veterans' Day. I was dismayed at your categorization ofveterans. The line that struck me particularly was, " ... while some veterans and current militarypersonnel ... are reprehensible monsters, others aren't so bad ...." Well, gee, thanks. I'm glad youhold such a high opinion of those who have chosen to serve (or were drafted) in the military. Thisstereotyping is along the same lines as that of the state legislator who last year referred to Westernstudents as teenagers who "spent more money on CD's than on textbooks." Members of the armedforces do not set foreign policy, they merely enforce those policies as set by our elected officials. Iagree that there are attitudes and values that need to be examined when it comes to deciding whetherarmed conflict is an appropriate solution to a particular situation. But, I don't think that this debateshould distract from honoring those individuals who were, and are, willing to sacrifice themselves forsomething they believe in. Respectfully, Geoffrey Case, junior, MET veteran Literary page lacking DearWestern Front: Every Friday, I read the accent "literary page" and think, "Considering the number ofpeople who would submit poetry to a major college publication like the Front, why is hardly anythingworthwhile ever printed?" Looking back over the October and November editions, I noticed unusuallynumerous poems by Karl Jensen. I reread most of these, thinking thatmaybelhadmissed somethingthe first time through! Realizing that I hadn't, I thought of checking the opinion page of the most recentedition. Sure enough, Karl Jensen just happens to be the Accent editor. Someone, please, tell Karl totake a poetry class, develop some artistic talent and give someone with potential a chance. I believeusing his position to promote his amateurish writing, if this is the case, is a breach of ethics that isn' tto be taken lightly. Sincerely, Charlie Durham INDEX 101. FOR SALE 201.

"Wedon't want the police officer image for the security officers," Security chief dies5l6MiÂ®li^c^6BiScx^SS P said Albert Froderberg, vice president for External Affairs. Lt. Chuck Pagesaid the changes are a response to violations found by the Department of Labor and Industries in aninvestigation of university security working conditions. "The administration knew it would be in violation,"Page said. A citation of notice has been sent to the university, said DLI spokeswoman Barbara Dunn.She said she could not reveal details until the notice is received by administrators. "If the university iscited, it will be for safety conditions," Froderberg said. The changes in uniforms and cars were done tocorrect possible violations, he noted. Requests to supply the former university police with firearms weredenied by the Board of Trustees last summer. Instead, the board voted to change their status to that ofsecurity officers. Page said security representatives asked administrators at the April 26 meeting topurchase full police equipment and uniforms for campus security officers, or to allow them to makethe purchases themselves. Both requests were turned down. "They (university officials) were onlyinterested in 'how to make our job safer,'" he said. Security officer Lee Brown said decreasing hisvisibility "reduces the expectations of the community." "Total non-response should have happened inSeptember when the force was decommissioned," Brown said. "But calls for service kept coming in.That's why (Labor and Industries) stepped in." The officers' duties now include assisting citizens,security checks, traffic and parking problems, safety See Cops on page 3 Tina Pinto/The Western Front Campus security officer Lee Brown will now patrol Western in a vehicle without security lights and insigna. Under the administration's new security personnel policy, officers are also required to work in civilianclothes. No definite decisions have been made about new uniforms. Changes are intended to clarifydifferences between the police-officer image and the security-officer image. 2 views phlets in Red Square Friday morning.

College loophole may freeze payiii^HniiiBinHHUi^ and kidney disease. The 1921 discovery of insulin by research, has allowed him, andother diabetics, to live By Sara Britton staff reporter A legislative loophole may prevent up to 2,600Western student employees from being paid the state-mandated minimum wage of $4.25, which will gointo effect for other workers next January. The state passed legislation last November raising the stateminimum wage to $3.85 in January 1989 and provided for the additional increase the next year. Theinitiative, however, didn't amend a previous exemption in a 1961 law, which states that colleges need not pay their student employees the state minimum wage. Of Western's 2,600 student employees, 40percent are working in paraprofessional positions, jobs that relate to their future professions, said KathySahlhoff, assistant director for Student Financial Resources. "It doesn't feel like it was their intent toexempt college students from the minimum wage," Sahlhoff said, noting Washington legislatorsdecided to require 16-and 17-year-old workers be paid minimum wage last Tuesday. Westernvoluntarily complied with the initial wage increase last January, raising the hourly pay of all employees to at least $3.85, without benefit of additional state funding. Departments were not required to increasepay levels of students already earning over $3.85 but will have to raise wages to scale in July. Theincrease in the minimum wage, frozen since 1981, was long overdue, Sahlhoff said. However, Westernmay not be financially able See Wage on page 3 Correction A headline on the front page of the April 28Front contained an error. Associated Students Secretary-Treasurer Kent Thoelke pleaded guilty on April18 to possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor. The Front regrets the error. ---------- Western Front - 1989 May 2 - Page 2 ---------- May 2,1989 The Western Front AS campaigns invade campus At the stroke of midnight Sunday,Western was invaded by banners, flyers and other various public- relations paraphernalia as thecampus braced itself for a week of stumping, posting and publicity.

The emphasis of the evening was to encourage unity inthe Hispanic population and the rest of the community, including Western. Keynote speaker RicardoSanchez, former editor of La Voz, a statewide Hispanic newspaper, described how times havechanged. Because English is the primary language, 50 percent of second generation Hispanics havelost the ability to speak their native language, Sanchez said. "There is a massive hemorrhage in theeducational system. Ninety-nine percent of the inmates at Walla Walla are drop-outs," Sanchez said. "It costs more to incarcerate one student for one year at Walla Walla than to educate that student for fouryears at Harvard," he said. At the turn of the century, a 94 percent dropout in high school was notconsidered a problem. Now, a 30 percent drop outrate is a major problem, Sanchez said. WesternPresident Kenneth Mortimer stressed, in the welcoming "It costs more to incarcerate one student forone year at Walla Walla than to educate that student for four years at Harvard." â€”Ricardo Sanchezaddress, the need for diversity at Western. In the 21st century, more than 75 percent of the class of 1993 will find themselves in a multicultural world. The campus needs to provide a similar environment,Mortimer said. wins get it fixed." He said the camera he AS andHousing and Dining, wifl increase,and said she believednew $500,000 more on the Viking Un- Cops Continued from page 1 hazards, fires,medical problems and assisting the city police department, Page said. Criminal investigations are notallowed. The revised job description reads, "Campus security officers, have the same level of authorityas any university employee and have no greater ability to cause a compliance or enforcement of laws and policies as any other university employee." Decommissioning the campus police force did not improveworking conditions, Page noted. "If anything, conditions worsened ... It is not better than it was before."Froderberg said, "No doubt, there is lingering resentment that they've gone from campus police statusto security guard status." But Page argued that "the impact will be on the criminal end of it." Of anaverage 600 calls campus security officers respond to every month, Page estimated 100 to 180 havebeen criminal ;alls. Bellingham Police Lt. Don Miles questioned Page's figures. He said theBellingham Police Department does not see a need to accommodate the changes within the university security system. "Western is without a doubt the safest place in Bellingham to be," Miles said. Henoted, "We handle the crimes, anyway." "Evidently, Lt. Miles has had a lapse of memory," Page said.Before the changes went into effect, campus security officers had been filing theft and vandalismreports,as well as for other criminal activities, he said. Campus safety officer Jose Harrison declined comment on the situation. The sudden death of Chief R.G. Peterson does not affect this change, said unionspokesman Tim Welch. "What has happened so far has been out of our hands," he said. Although nodefinite decision has been made, Froderberg said the new attire for security officers will possibly beblue blazers, black ties, white shirts and gray flannel pants. Peterson had mentioned a budget of morethan $7,000 to re-outfit the officers, Page said. It would cost $3,200 to arm the officers and buyammunition, he noted. Shop steward Gary Crawford, the officers' union liaison, said putting officers in"quasi-poUce uniforms ... is like sending a fireman down to a fire without a hose." "It's sad,. It's reallysad ... I personally don't feel safe up here," he said. On May 9 and 10, students will vote in a referendum on whether security officers should be recommissioned and armed, said Associated StudentsPresident Tammy Fleming. "It's all or nothing," she noted. "I just want to have the students vote." Askedif the results of the student referendum would have any impact on the administration, Froderbergsaid, "We'll certainly pay attention to it" Wage Continued from page 1 to adjust the student pay scale to the $4.25 minimum, she said. Unless a federal bill passes, which would raise the federal minimumwage to $4.65 by 1992, Western's future payment policy will hinge upon state funding, Sahlhoff said. "It's going to be a case of cause and effect â€” unless we get more money, we're going to have todecrease services. And that's an absolute," she said. The hardest-hit student employers would be the library and computer center, she said. Director of libraries Diane Parker said she has alreadyrequested additional funding to support the $4.25 raise. Almost half of the library employees are paidminimum wage. "We already work with a thin staff. There is no area we could cut without drasticallyreducing services," she said. Some Western student employees are not exemprfrom the minimumwage law, including employees in teaching, tutoring, peer advising and grading positions. MarriottCorporation, which employs many students in food-service positions, will be required to pay studentsminimum wage as well, , Sahlhoff said. "Marriott is a self-contracting agency. It has no way to use this(law) as a loophole," Sahlhoff said. However, Food Services Director Mike Lee said the corporation isstill waiting to hear from its legal advisers about how much the company will have to pay its studentworkers. "It's still up in the air... a decision will be made (along with) Housing and Dining," Lee said. Students voiced mixed opinions about the pay level they should receive. "I'm not sure we should bepaid more... I wonder what it would do to financial aid. Maybe they'd hire less people at $4.25," saidDonna Gwinn, clerical assistant for Continuing Education. Grace Kim, a Wilson library studentassistant, said she would choose to work on campus even if she could earn a higher wage off campus."It's so convenient â€” you can make your hours fit your schedule. You might not get the sameunderstanding off campus," Kim said. Ericka Jackson, a work-study student employed by Conference Services, disagreed. "I think we should be paid minimum. For the cost of livingâ€”everything it hasto go to â€” it's not just spending money, it's bills and rent and tuition." Susan Edmonds, specialcollections manager at Wilson Library, said her students deserve their $3.85 wage, but wasn't sureanother wage increase was necessary. "Our students have a lot of responsibility and I'm glad to seethem making $3.85 â€” they earn it. Our students are strapped for money, but they 're not trying tosupport a family on their pay, either."

By Paul Mahlum staff reporter '' Agroup of students and staff members want to add an AIDS education program to orientation next fall.Three students, two members of the Health Services Center and a Shalom Center minister are askingPresident Mortimer to add a session on sexually transmitted diseases, acquaintance rape, contraception and preventive health measures to its freshmen and transfer-orientation programs. Freshmen andtransfers would be strongly urged, but not required, to attend the session, Saundra Taylor, director of the Office of Student life, said. "We are asking the people who put together orientation how the programwould work," Taylor said. According to the 1987 state Omnibus AIDS bill, all state universities andcolleges were required to start an AIDS education program in 1988. Counseling and Health ServicesDirector Nathan Church, one of the members proposing the program, said "according to the law, Western must offer the program, but it cannot require students to attend it." "I don't know if theadministration knew it was violating the law," Church said. Currently, the University SafetyCommittee, which reviews safety issues on campus, is responsible for developing a university AIDSpolicy, Church said, adding that the committee hasn't implemented any AIDS policy yet. Nursepractitioner Kathyrn Lewis, also working on the proposal, said "the purpose of the program would be togive everyone the basic information, to help them understand what's safe sex and what's not. We want them to become comfortable talking about it with their partners and with each other." â€¢ Church saidhe has requested from the budget commitee $60,000 for the program during a two-year period. The funds would cover personnel and material costs for the orientation program. "Orientation is critical forpreventive education before students become part of the college culture," Church said. "AIDS amongcollege students is three or four times the national average." Lewis said 200 students in the 1987freshman class were asked if they understand what the HIV virus and other sexually transmitteddiseases are,and how one can contract them. "Most of them knew what they are and how you canget them, but many said they didn't think they were at risk," Lewis said. "They weren't using theinformation they knew." "We are still seeing an increase in the number of students contracting sexuallytransmitted diseases," she said. ymexttoTheBagelry) ID3iffilfiLj ^^iJ^Z^ HURRY!

Live bands, mini-golf, palm reading andmassages were some of the activities offered at Saturday's Kappa Carnival. "People hung-out in thesquare once the music started," said senior Val Murray, a business major. "It reminded me of the '60s,itreally did." Murray, a Kappa resident adviser, spent 30 minutes getting sponges thrown in her faceat the RD/RA Sponge Toss booth. She thought a lot of people had a good time. 'T learned how to makefriendship bracelets at one of the booths," Murray said. Junior Troy Scott Pope, an English major,spent the afternoon giving back, shoulder and feet massages. The booth charged 50 cents for fiveminute massages. A Bellingham band, Hipper than U., along with another band composed of Kapparesidents, entertained the crowd. Kappa resident director Scott Barton estimated between 800 and1,000 people moved through the hall-sponsored carnival. Kappa residents, in sponsoring the carnival,wanted to organize an event that would involve the residence halls, Western faculty and Bellinghamcommunity in an all-university event.

At the start of winter quarter, LisaBernhagen, a junior international relations major, set sail for foreign lands as part of the Semester atSea program, sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh. "I always wanted to travel, and this was the first program I heard about," she said. The journey began Jan. 11, when the cruise ship the S.S. Universedeparted from Nassau, Bahamas, with 400 U.S. college and university students and 20 teachers. Thecruise cost the students up to $12,000 depending on what they wanted for ship accomodations andtravel. For instance, the expense was more if a student had a large room to themself, a porthole in theroom and traveled on all the touristing trips offered, Bernhagen said. Financial aid and grants were alsoavailable. She said the big boat was complete with classrooms^ a hospital and a movie theater. Fiftyof the 100 days were spent on the ship. During this time, students were required to attend classes.Bernhagen took classes in international relations, Buddhist civilization, Soviet history and foreigndiplomacy. Arlete Communal, assistant to the director of admissions for the Semester at Seaprogram, said students spend at least six days a week in class while they are on the ship. "Studentscan use the credits they earn to fill liberal arts or elective credits," Communal said. She added that acore class in international relations is required so students will have a better understanding of thepeople and places they are visiting. The first stop was Cadiz, Spain. Bernhagen said Spain was a pretty country, but what she remembers most is that no one spoke English. After leaving Spain, the groupheaded east, for Yugoslavia, and then the to Soviet Union. After docking in Odessa, Soviet Union, part ofthe group flew to Moscow. "The airplanes there are scary," Bernhagen said. "They don'tseemto care ifyou get where you are going or not." Bernhagen said she traded on the black market in Moscow. "Theymostly wanted money," she said. "They just came up to us and said 'Want to trade?' or 'Change money, change money.' If they saw something on us that they wanted, they'd ask if we would trade it forsomething." Bernhagen said the Soviet people were very reserved, and kept pretty much to themselves.The people of Turkey, the next stop on their trip, were quite the opposite. "In Turkey, sellers in themarket were quite aggressive," she said. "After awhile, they would just say, 'Excuse me, may I harassyou?' " From Turkey, the group travelled to Egypt, where they spent two days seeing the pyramids."We went to a light show telling the history of the pyramids one night," Bernhagen said. "It wasn'tEnglish-speaking night, so we listened to the whole thing in French." Bernhagen said her mostmemorable experience during the trip was her visit to India. Students were allowed to travelindependently, so Bernhagen and some friends rented mopeds and rode through the countryside."People were really poor everywhere. But out in the country, where people lived in little grass shacks,they didn't care that they were poor," she said. "Everyone waved at us, and some people stared at us.It's not often they see white people, especially white women, riding through the countryside onmopeds." After five days in India, the group went to Malaysia. Bernhagen said Malaysia had thefriendliest people of all the countries she visited. "In Malaysia, things were really cheap, so I bought a lot of clothes and jewelry," she said. "You could buy Lisa Bernhagen, a junior international relations major,spent winter quarter studying on a cruise ship. Benetton (clothing) for under $51" From Malaysia,Bernhagen and part of the group chose to take the bus to Singapore. Bernhagen said she was a littledisappointed in Singapore, because the city was so westernized. "It was really modern anddeveloped," she said. "Only a little bit of (the traditional) culture was left." It was in one of the final port stops on the voyage, the People's Republic of China, that Bernhagen made a new friend. She was asenior English major at one of the Chinese universities Bernhagen visited. "The university students were the only ones (in China) we met who spoke English," she said. She added that the universities, incontrast to the rest of China, were "big, clean and advanced." While exploring China, Bernhagen saidriding the busses was one of her more memorable experiences. "We didn't speak Chinese, so we didn'tknow where to get off and we didn't know how much to pay. The. bus driver banged a big, metal stickagainst the window 'til I thought the window would shatter, to remind people to pay their bus fares."Bernhagen said her strangest encounter on the trip was in a park in Japan. "Some really drunk guyswere doing a Korean dance in the park and they asked us to join in," she said. "We were dancing andcracking up, and they gave us beer afterwards." From Japan, the group went to Taiwan, and then toHong Kong. Some students returned to the United States earlier than others; Bernhagen was one of thestudents who continued to tour.. She said she stayed up with her friends on the last night and partied with men they met from South Africa. From Hong Kong, Bernhagen flew to San Francisco and drove arental car the last stretch home. Viewer longs for return of TV has-beens Dear Aaron Spelling: I amwriting you because you are my only hope for a happy life. I don't know what to do. TV has sunk so farsince shows like "Charlie's Angels" and and the "Six Million Dollar Man" ruled the airwaves. Those werethe glory days weren't they? "SWAT," "Emergency," "Starsky and Hutch," and "Baretta" were the kind of shows that turned a boy into a man. I know I will forever remember Rockford cruising around, whoopin' it up with Angel, in his 1974 Camaro. But no more. In the early 1980s the tide started to turn. About thetime special effects got good enough, and the censors relaxed enough to allow for some real gore, thenetworks got mushy on us. Sure we still had "CHiPs." But big deal, are the king of the TV series, Ithought maybe you could take a look at an ideal had for a new show. That is why I'm writing you. Sinceyou arc the king of the T.V. series, I thought maybe you could take a look at an idea I had for a newshow. All you have to do is work an old star into the show like "Love Boat" used to do, then throw outthe sap that "Love Boat" sank in, kill off the star at the end, and it is an instant hit. For example, sayyou want to do a show with Florence Henderson. Who could resist Mrs. Brady? Not the feel-good peopleor the old-star lovers, that's for sure. And to bring the action crowd, all you'd have to do is kill her off insome violent way in the. end. Instant ratings. Remember that tiki the Brady family found when they werein Hawaii that caused all the bad luck? You could kill her with that. Maybe a spider would crawl up onher bed or something. Or she could get lost in the woods and not have any popcorn to make a trailwith. It'd be great! In fact, you could pull something from each star's past to be an instrument in theirdemise. You could have that good looking guy from "Emergency" on. Remember how the paramedics on that show used to always shock everyone with that heart machine? Well, he could be getting out of acar and slam his fingers in the door or something, you see. Then some paramedics would jump out ofnowhere, pin him down and... "Everybody, 3-2-1 Clear!"

Gold? A major oil spill? Nope. Summer jobs? Yep, and a cool $1,550 a month. About 25Western students will spend the summer as bus drivers for Gray Line of Alaska. The company has keptthe job pipeline flourishing with this university. Though the company hires from other places, drivers fromthis university are described as morally backed, open-minded and humorous, company officials say.Driving carries with it the responsibilities of operating the bus and seeing to the safety and needs ofabout 47 riders each trip, two veteran drivers said. â€¢ "The company is basically trusting us with a$240,000 vehicle," said John Stemwell, a senior and political science major. Kim Woodhouse, a senioreducation major, stressed that safety is. important on the buses where the average age of riders isabout 55. She pointed out it's also important to make the older riders comfortable, whether it means unplanned picture-taking stops to shoota moose or majestic mountain scenes, running errands orhelping them with their bags. "We have to go that extra mile for passengers," she said. Drivers â€”particularly those who make the five-day Fairbanks to Skagway runâ€”also find themselves in the roles of tour guide, disc jockey and comedian for what otherwise would be a slow, bumpy ride. Students whohave made the trip and are heading north again have many stories to tell new trainees, who justcompleted 100 hours of driving in the Bellingham Mall parking lot. Stemwell has the instincts of awilderness comedian. He enjoys joking with his captive audience. "These people want to knoweverything," he said. He's been asked how much Mount Mckinley weighs, and whether distantmountainscapes are real or fake. "We have to go that extra mile for passengers." Kim Woodhouse Aman sitting at the front of the bus once asked Stemwell what kind of bird they were approaching, justbefore the bus ran it over. "It's a dead bird," Stemwell quipped. Actually, it was the state bird, a WillowPtarmigan, he said. After two years of driving city tours of Fairbanks and extended rides to otherAlaskan towns, he has noticed the funniest people usually sit at the back of the bus. "They're theones that rode at the back of the bus when they went to school," said Stemwell, shrugging. Some things never change. Stemwell doubles as a bus-bound disc jockey.

Rutan, a political science professor at Western and one of seven major researchers in thetwo countries, has worked to bring together people from both the states and the provinces to establish "a greater and less formal linkage between the two countries." "There are certainly formal relationsbetween Ottawa and Washington D.C., but there is also a world of activity outside of the formal relationswhere the people of our two countries meet," Rutan said. They can work together, he said, in allaspects of society, including agriculture, law enforcement, emergency services, education andhighways. Rutan spoke at a conference that brought people from these areas together to discuss theirfindings. The "Regional Relations" conference on the United States and Canada about the linkages ofstates and provinces was in Racine, Wise, on November 18-20. "It was great to be able to bringeveryone together to look at everything and offer new insights," he said. He also said that it was thequality of instruction that brought him to Western and the academic opportunity to achieve what hewanted to do. year-round permafrost, with Aspen trees reaching brilliant yellows by late August.Roadside attractions include moose, caribou, grizzly bears... and construction crews. Frost heavesâ€”or Alaskan speed bumps, as they are sometimes called â€” are a problem on state highways, Woodhouse said. The bumps are hard to spot until you hit them, she said. Stemwell mentioned that one particularly large frost heave knocked the upper plate out of one elderly man's mouth. When she drove theFairbanks route last year, Woodhouse and the townspeople of Beaver Creek, Yu- "Disney did it with amouse; I'm doing it with a gold mine." â€” John Stemwell kon (population 50, depending on the time ofyear), masterminded a prank to put over on passengers to make rugged campers of them. She'd callahead to the town and order tents and hammocks, making sure passengers could hear her. Convincedthe accommodations would be less than pleasing for their hard-spent tourist cash, they were surprised when they pulled into town that rooms were ordered. The tour routes are not without their occasionalfrontier characters. - Stemwell told of a miner outside Fairbanks that makes more money mining thetourists' pockets than he does the pebbly riverbeds. The man is open about putting tourists to workpanning gold while he fattens his bank wad. "Disney did it with a mouse; I'm doing it with a gold mine,"he said. The company, part of West Tours in Seattle, provides-hotel roomSifor, students when out on the road. But that doesn't include Fairbanks, where $550 pays rent to squeeze seven students into a two-bedroom slum apartment. The students don't complain; the rooms are conveniently located across thestreet from the bus yard. Buses travel to Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchikan and other cities. Studentsusually leave in mid- June and return in the first week in September. Trainees and veteran drivers sat inthe Viking Union coffee shop Thursday morning to discuss the styles they'll adopt to make thepassengers happy. Matt Smith, who has a bachelor of science degree in physics and is working toward his education degree, said he will "shoot straight from the hip." He expects he'll keep in an "irre-pressibly good mood." Carolyn Woodhouse, junior, speech and communication major and Kim'syounger sister, said as a tour guide she'll need to know Alaska as well as its residents. She's lookingforward to the challenge and seeing a new place. - "It'll be a chance to get away from home, and gosomewhere I've never been," she said. The company hires people with a good attitude and an ability toget along with others. "The company says they can train anyone to drive," she said. Kevin Westlund,senior, said the training is demanding. The performance manuals and 160 pages of fun-filled Alaskanfacts the company provides takes time away from his studies in mathematics and biology, but it's worthit. "It's like teaching someone to swim by throwing them in the water," he said. Westlund plans to run a tight, no-nonsense bus ride. "Oh, lighten up," his bus-driver friends said laughingly. ---------- Western Front - 1989 May 2 - Page 9 ---------- The Western Front May 2,1989 9 Vendors add variety to campus shopping Java, jewelry, bagels: allpart of row's charm By Tina Stevens staff reporter Early in the morning, sometimes as early as 5 a.m.,merchants start arriving for work at Western's Vendor's Row, located between the bookstore and theViking Union Lounge. Vendor's sell almost anything imaginable.. In the area just outside the campus deli, a table of peanut butter cookies, bagels, brownies and. hot soup await potential customers. Othertables; include jewelry, pro-life literature and alumni sweatshirts. Nearly every day there is somethingnew on a table. The stand just across the pathway from the deli sells gourmet coffee. Ruth Dawson sells espresso and other types of coffee. Dawson, a former Western student, said she enjoys spendingtime on campus and has made her living there for the past two years. She also is interested in seeingVendor's Row become more a part of the Associated Students decision-making policy. Dawson saidthat because the AS holds only daily and monthly contracts with the merchants, the AS believes it hasno obligation to these people when decisions about the area are made. She said they keep threatening to put in a covered area where Vendor's Row is, and add on to the VU. She said this doesn't give vendorsa sense of security. Dawson fears that at some point, one of the eateries on campus will start makingthe same things she does and kill her business. She has already seen products like pizza and carrotcake disappear off Vendor's row because of campus food service competition. Robert Moulton is a five-year veteran of Vendor's row and a third year student in Western's MET (Manufacturing, Engineering andTechnology) program. He runs the bicycle repair stand at the entrance to Vendor's row. At his stand,he works on any kind of bicycle. Moulton said he worked in a bicycle repair shop before he heard about Vendor's Row. He carries almost any part for a bike. "If I don't have it, I can get it," Moulton said. Mostof his business is in the spring and he does a lot of business during the first three weeks of fallquarter.before it gets really cold, he said. Currently, his stand is open Monday through Friday from 10a.m. to 3 p.m. Another vendor at the stand is Butterfly, who sells silver jewelry from Thailand, ponchos from Ecuador and handmade crystal pouches. She decided to make some money at Western to save for a car. The stand is also much cheaper than renting space in a store front, Butterfly said. The cost ofrenting a stand at the row is $25 a month and $5 a day or $2 for students. The tables are on a "firstcome, first serve" basis, so vendors arrive early. Dawson said if one vendor is in a given space for anumber of times, the other merchants usually respect that and not take their space. One of the morecolorful stands on the row is the stand belonging to Jack Dalton. He sells sarrings with fish, coins andcrosses. There are also carved pipes, yo-yos, scarves and crystals. At Dalton's table, a swarm of girlsfound rings of many different shapes and sizes. Dalton took the time to advise all of them which ringslooked good on whom. He looked at the ring eyed by one customer and told her its worth. "It's made tolast for a couple of lifetimes," Dalton said. Dalton is surrounded by his tools. He has a hammer, largethick scissors and a polishing rag, which he constantly uses. Each time he had a couple of secondsfree, he picked up his rag and any ring he saw. "I'm just polishing this," he said. With the rainbow ofscarves blowing lightly in the windy-he reminisced about his old days as a hippie in Los Angeles, beforehe moved to Bellingham 15 years ago. While he kept referring to himself as a retired hippie, a passerby said "He may be retired, but he's still a hippie." Bellingham resident Jack Dalton sells earrings, pipes,yo-yos, scarves and crystals at his stand on Vendor's Row. Whatcom County woos grads with hopes ofgood life With the pulse of local business picking up, hopes for meaningful employment are surfacing.Students, who a couple of years ago would have headed straight to Seattle after graduation, are nowthinking seriously about settling in Whatcom County. Are their dreams of having a good job and thegood life merely wishful thinking? Just what is the employment outlook for the area? I asked MikeBrennan, executive vice-president of the Whatcom Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to fill me in on Bellingham's business outlook. Brennan attributes the current flurry of economic expansion to "pent-updemand." Until five years ago, Bre nan said, zoning laws made establishing a business anywhere inBellingham an unpredictable process at best. Once the new zoning plan was put in place, things started to change. Private and public interests joined forces to map out a plan for business expansion,commissioning a study to determine what kinds of growth would be most appropriate for thecommunity. The study calls for light industrial, high-technology firms, which boast low environmental impact and high wages. Brennan heralded the coming of Heath Tecna, a Boeing sub-contractor,noting many aerospace subcontractors are looking to expand north Carole Wiedmeyer businesswriter of the Snohomish county line as the effect of Boeing's staggering backlog trickles down. Largemanagement structures also make hi-tech firms attractive, Brennan said. Complex processes, suchas plastics manufacturing, require large staffs composed of engineers and research and developmentpeople. Other factors are also at work: â€¢ The county's five Free Trade Zones (FTZ's), established three years ago, allow export firms to avoid paying duty on raw materials and final products. A Japanesejeans manufacturer recently decided to locate at the Cordata FTZ. Aside from a sub-zone located inAnacortes, the next closest FTZ is in Seattle. â€¢ The Alaska Ferry terminal on Bellingham's south side is scheduled to begin operating in October. â€¢ Demand is on the rise for fast, competitively priced,local marketing services. Brennan says he knows of two business plans in the works right now forsuch firms. â€¢The Port of Bellingham is eyeing the area near the Marina Restaurant off SqualicumParkway for a convention center site. â€¢The real estate market is bringing money into theeconomy despite increasing interest rates. â€¢ As students know, housing is scarce, especially low-income housing. Brennan says contractors are looking for "warm bodies" to work for them. If you'relooking for money, the opportunity in Bellingham is probably not as good as in Seattle. But, if you'relooking for entry-level, hands-on kind of work, Bellingham just might have something for you. Glacierstudies reveal human contribution Up on Mount Baker, history is forming in layer upon layer of glacialice. Through the winter snows and the summer melting, smoke, oils, dusts and gases settle on theglaciers. Summer sun never completely melts each winter's snowfall, so a portion of thesemolecules freeze into deeper and deeper layers of ice. By extracting the substances from the ice,Western chemistry professor Bill Wilson and chemistry graduate students hope to discover howhumans have contributed to this fall-out. Have our woodstoves, autos and other combustion sources put more organic compounds into the air over the years, to be trapped in the glacial record? The glacier study sounds more like a job for professional mountaineers than for chemists. Wilson and hisstudents climb several thousand feet up Mount Baker, and pack out 30 or 40 pounds of glacial ice.The ice layers represent years of seasonal cycles that can be counted like tree rings. "We look for awhite, clean, winter layer [of snow], topped off by a dirty summer layer," Wilson said. Winter snowsdilute atmospheric fall-out; during summer, particles settle in more concentrated layers on theexposed ice surface. Back at Western, Wilson and students do more of what you'd expect chemists todo: work in the laboratory to extract and analyze the compounds in the ice samples. Because they'relooking for tiny iiiiiiiiiiiiijiiajjiiiijiiii^^ amounts of chemicals, "it becomes an intense worry overcontamination," Wilson said. Oils from skin, and even substances in breath, can drown out the original compounds in the samples. But eight or nine years of work on the project has put most of thesetechnical problems behind them, Wilson said. With state-of-the-art equipment that arrived early thisyear, they've been able to correlate heavy doses of fall-out in the ice with severe forest fire years, whensmoke drifted over the glaciers. Out of 300-400 substances they've identified, they can trace between 10and 15 back to human sources. While it's hard to distinguish forest fire smoke from wood-stovesmoke, other human sources such as automobiles leave unique chemical traces, Wilson said. Late thissummer and early next fall, Wilson expects to sample ice from the Black Butte area, on the southwestside of Mount Baker. The' difficult climb keeps hikers (and their accompanying make-shift bathrooms,which contribute their own organic molecules to the glaciers) out of the area, he said. The summermelting should let the research party climb into crevasses and collect ice from layers deep in theglacier. Mount Baker's glaciers move pretty fast (meters per day in some areas), so the deepestlayers are probably only 25 to 30 years old, Wilson said. That's as long as many of us students havebeen alive. Will the chemists find hydrocarbon molecules released from the tailpipe of my car duringmy first driving lesson, trapped in one of those icy layers? I almost hope they never get good enoughto assign such guilt. ---------- Western Front - 1989 May 2 - Page 10 ---------- 10 May 2,1989 The Western Front Busy life makes student an outstanding graduate By Kim McDonaldstaff reporter He's involved in debate and the National Guard, works to support himself, strives forphysical fitness and maintains a 3.5 grade point average. broadcast department chose Asch out 82graduating seniors.

Asch, a speech communication major and an economics minor, came to Western last fall after attending Clark Community College and Portland State University. Whileattending college in Oregon, Asch worked 20 hours a week as a staff assistant for U.S. senator-candidate Don Bonker. Asch concentrated on issues and become the resident expert forcongressmen to consult with on Indian groups, the military and other areas, in his two-yearemployment. Asch had to ask for a three-month leave of absence from the reserves during the debateseason. "Debate takes about 15-20 hours per week. To do well you have to be dedicated to it," Aschsaid. Involved in Forensics, both individual and debate competitions at CCC, he received a bronze inthe individual speaking event of persuasion at the College Forensics National Competition inMinnesota. Asch chose to specialize in debate at Western this year rather than individual events. "Iwas doing a lot of individual events and just a little bit of debate. I just wanted to see if I could do it,"Asch said. Tim Allen, debate coach said during the past year Asch and his debate partner, David Miller,have been one of the top senior debate teams. "He has natural communication skills, which, combinedwith his excellent analytical skills, make him a great debater," Allen said. Besides his debate, schooland military activities Asch works as an attendant at Samish Way Texaco and runs to keep in shape. "I perform better in Forensics and am sharper in school if I stay fit," Asch said. "I usually say I'll just finish this quarter and then I'll take it easy, but I always get back into it. So, I guess I must like to be busy,"Asch said. Asch said he was surprised to hear that he had been chosen as outstanding graduate. "Ididn't really think I'd get it, but I'm honored that I did," Asch said. William Keith, of the speech/broadcast department, said Asch was willing to speak up in class, can articulate on his feet and iscreative in understanding and applying ideas. Keith will be speaking in recognition of Asch'sachievements at the honors breakfast the morning of graduation. Asch will be presented his award at the breakfast.

"You meet great people when you're on a team. If I wasn't on a team, I would only have a handful of friends," Jensen said. Jensen was born in Santa Fe, N.M., and latermoved to Texas, Massachusetts and Nevada before residing in Yakima for the past 13 years. Heattended East Valley High School, where he played football, basketball and baseball. His senior year,his football team went to the district playoffs, basketball finished fourth in state, and baseball lost inregionals. When Jensen transferred from California's Chico State in 1986, he thought Western had avarsity baseball team. "I didn't even know it was a club sport until November of my freshman year,"Jensen said. Baseball was dropped as a varsity sport at Western in 1981 because of a lack of funding. But a student, John Russell, started up baseball again in 1986, as a club sport. Club sports receive less funding, but are still-structured as a varsity sport, with the students doing much of the schedulingthemselves. After joining the team, Jensen quickly became Russell's assistant. "I was kind of hisassistant and helped out. Then, he graduated that year and I took over," Jensen said. For two years, hewas the team's player-manager and the position was very time-consuming. "It takes up a lot of yourtime. Last year, I was doing it all. I was calling the coaches, going to the club sport meetings,coordinating practice and calling the players. Plus, you've got school and you're always racingbecause you know you've forgotten something." "This year I've got Scott River, who helps me a lot. Hecoordinates practice and calls the people. He helps tremendously. All I do now is the office work, goingto meetings and stuff like that," Jensen said. He likes the club sport system at Western. "It gets people who may not be up to the ability of varsity sports a chance to play against other clubs and continuetheir athletics. It offers good competition," Jensen said. After two seasons of winning baseball, the teamhas not fared so well this season. One reason is lack of practice time. "It's probably the main reasonwe're not doing so well this year; there's just no place to practice. We have no place to bat, we can't goinside because we have no batting machine," Jensen said, adding, "The practice balls get ruined outside. We started out with 12 practice balls and they quickly turned into shotputs." The easiest way to see the lack of practice time is to watch the team play. "You can tell in the game when people haven't takengrounders or swung the bat. Our pitchers don't ever pitch off a pitching mound until they get into agame," Jensen said. The Vikings were kicked off a few fields that other teams needed to play on. Theynow practice at Lake Padden. Jensen leads the team in runs, hits, at-bats and is second only to Riverwith a .407 batting average. Last year, Jensen hit over .500 for the season. Jensen's other interestsinclude golf and skiing. He doesn't have much time to spare because he is graduating this quarter.Jensen is majoring in math-education for secondary schools. He will have good memories of Western, including the people and the scenery, he said. "I am an outdoors person, so the rain bugs me.

The first game was aclose battle, as neither team could put theother away. Western's Dan Jensen reached base on a throwing error in the first inning and AndrewShelton followed, hitting a double to score Jensen and take a 1-0 lead. Fraser Valley responded with arun of their own in the first inning, knotting the score at 1 - 1. They added two more runs in the fourth inning. The Vikings battled back and tied the game with two runs in the top of the fifth inning. Starting pitcherDean Hove doubled. Jensen followed with a double, scoring Hove. Jensen stole third and scored on asacrifice fly by Steve Todd. Western tallied one more in the seventh inning to take a brief one-ruiiadvantage, but Fraser Valley came back and put the game into extra innings. After a scoreless eighth,the Chiefs won the game in the bottom of the ninth â€” 5-4 on an RBI single up the middle. Leadinghitters for Western were Shelton with two hits and two RBI, and Jensen with two hits and one RBI. Hovepitched a good game, lasting all nine inning and allowing only six hits. "He had his control problems hereand there, but he pitched fairly well," Jensen said. The second game was all Western. The Vikes put the game away in the first inning as they managed to score six runs on no base hits. Jensen, Randy Joynerand Todd Burkman walked. Shelton reached base on an error, scoring Jensen. Scott River also walked,forcing in Joyner to make it 2-0. A throwing error put Andrew Corner on base, to score Burkman. Aground ball by Todd went through the legs of the Chiefs' shortstop, scoring Shelton and River. Messmerfinished the scoring with a sacrifice fly, to score Corner. Fraser Valley scored one run in the third andtwo in the fourth to tighten the game 6-3, but Western added five more runs to lead 11-3 as the gamemoved into the bottom of the sixth inning. Fraser Valley added one run in the bottom of the sixth, but itwas too little, too late. The Vikings' starting pitcher Rob Messmer lasted five innings, allowing threeruns.

Johnston sportseditor Next season's football team is starting to take shape. A total of 29 student-athletes, including 23freshmen and six transfers, have signed letters of intent to play football next fall at Western. "We areextremely pleased with the group we've recruited," said Rob Smith, who will begin his first year as headcoach after being the Vikings' top assistant the past two seasons. "We feel it is equal to or betterthan last year's, which has been considered the best-ever," Smith said. Heading the list of recruits aredefensive back, punter and place-kicker Shane Volkmann, who is transferring after redshirting lastseason at Boise State University, and Mike Wagner, who is one of three outstanding players from St.Monica High Schoolin SantaMonica, Calif., to select Western. Volkmann was a two-time all-statechoice, receiving prep-All- America honors in 1987 and named Everett Herald Offensive Player of theYear in 1986. That season he kicked a state record: 14 field goals. The 5-foot-7-inch, 160-pound Wagner was named South Bay Area Player of the Year by the Los Angeles Times as well as first-teamCatholic prep All-America. Wagner scored 29 touchdowns in 1988, rushed for 1,475 yards and caught passes that covered another 758 yards.

For further information contactthe Publications Business Office, CH 7,676-3171 Michael Dunford and wide receiver Chris Leaton.They helped St. Monica's to a 9-2 record and its first California Interscholastic Federation appearance inover a decade. The link to St. Monica's was Western assistant Andre Patterson, who joined the Vikingcoaching staff in early January, moving over from Weber State College. Smith and Patterson coachedtogether at Ren-ton High School. "It's a recruiting coup for us," Smith said. "There were a number offactors jn their decision to come here, including living environment, the academic reputation of ouruniversity, the football program being on an upswing and being reacquainted with Coach Patterson."Smith said Patterson had a solid relationship with the trio as a friend and as a coach. "They're greatyoung men," Patterson said. "All three were the heart and soul of that football team. They worked hardto attain that success." Viking Head Coach Rob Smith Smith said one area that the Vikes needed toimprove upon was the overall team speed. A number of the new recruits are speedsters, but probablynone is faster than Leaton, who has been timed in a Full selection racing bikes equipment*Cannondale, Specialized, Univega, Red Line *One day service legitimate 4.3 seconds for the 40-yard dash by major league baseball scouts. Leaton was a quarterback in high school, passing for 1,785yards and eight touchdowns, as well as rushing for 400 yards in his senior year. "We will play him atwide receiver," Smith said, adding, "One of our main recruiting objectives was to . find a speedreceiver..." Another speed merchant is Dun-ford, who is the third leg of the St. Monica trio. Dunford wasan all-league tight end and earned All-Westside and All-South Bay Area honors as a defensive end.The 6-foot-3-inch, 205- pounder made 35 receptions for 750 yards. On defense, he had 85 tackles,including 14 quarterback sacks, 28 in his career. One of the Vikings' most pressing needs was at theinside linebacker positions, where Nick Erick-sen completed his eligibility on the first team of the all-Columbia Football Association. The team also needs a kicking game, where graduation claimed first-team NAIA All-America punter and place-kicker Peter LaBarge. Western picked up a top linebacker in Scott O'Dell, a second team all-conference pickfrom Walla Walla Community College, where he tookpart in 100 tackles. Volkmann will help the kicking game. "I was concerned about getting a late start(in recruiting)," Smith said, who wasn't named head coach until late December 1988. "Much of the credit goes to my assistant coaches, who did an outstanding job in getting this excellent group of young men." A.S. Elections: ANEW APPROACH 8 Buses to Campus each hour!

Next week, students will have the opportunity to vote on a referendum and let theBoard of Trustees know how they feel about the campus security fiasco. Excuse us for harping on thisissue all year long, but it's worth any amount of space we can give it. The trustees have a history ofpostponing controversial decisions until summer break, when students aren 't around to defend theirinterests. Students need to demand that any action taken by the board occurs before summer vacation.And the trustees need to have enough courage to change their original decision that decommissionedthe campus police force, if that is what students want. All students are "protected" by these officers andtherefore have as valid a voice in decisions on this issue as the administration does. Yet another twistin the continuing saga has appeared and could be the deciding factor for any students who haven't madeup their minds: On the theory that clothes make the man and that uniformed security officers give thecampus an air of danger, the administration has decided to dress them in plain clothes. This new spring wardrobe of blue blazers, black ties, white shirts and gray flannel pants will coordinate nicely with thede-lighted, unmarked cars the security officers will be driving. The "logic" behind this is that invisiblesecurity guards give the campus a better image than visible campus police. But administrators aremissing the point. The role of officers is to protect the students, not protect the image of the university.The result of the entire episode has been to humiliate campus officers. Even their new job description puts security officers on the same level as all other university employees with "no greater ability to cause acompliance or enforcement of laws and policies than any other university employee." These are trainedpolice officers, not doormen. Gary Crawford, the officers' union liaison, summed the situation up well. Hesaid putting officers in "quasi-police uniforms ... is like sending a fireman down to a fire without a hose."We agree. It appears that the only obvious difference between a professor and a security officer is thatthe latter carries a walkie-talkie I and gets to drive a car through campus. Even the parking patrols getlights on their buggies. When voting May 9 and 10 on the Associated Students referendum, studentsshould keep in mind that they, after all, are the ones who are supposed to be protected. The trusteesdon't live on campus, but thousands of students do.

An insensitive performanceBlack face mocks minorities Saundra Taylor vice president for Student Affairs R ecently, an event thatsparked a wide range of emotions from outrage to puzzlement was a lip-sync act performed in black face at the Mr. Western contest on April 1. A number of black students found the performance offensive,insulting and tasteless. Some students found the performance funny, entertaining and creative, whileothers representing both minority and majority students were uneasy, confused and puzzled. Addressing this event is noteworthy, not only because of the widespread reaction, but more importantly,because it highlights the need for the campus community to learn and to increase its awarenessregarding cultural difference and racial sensitivity ... It became evident in this instance that manystudents did not understand that black-face characterizations would be found offensive. Casper diesa ghostly death In fact, several minority students, as well as majority students, indicated that theywere unable to articulate why this performance made them uneasy. Such responses may beattributable to our society and our educational system, which does not teach us about culturaldifferences and does not systematically include the writing, history or perspective of ethnic minoritypeople in the curriculum. In this instance and in this environment, where 6 percent of the enrollment isethnic minority and less than 1 percent is Afro-American, responding to the concerns of black-facecharacterizations becomes important in raising one's awareness- Black face was used at a time inhistory when black performers were not allowed to perform for white audiences. Black music and talentwere represented by white performers wearing black face. These performances often were mimics,displaying gross, demeaning exaggerations of black people, which resulted in feeling ridiculed anddiscredited. The portrayal of blacks was often as lazy, unintelligent, shuffling, childish individuals whowere funny because they were "comic'.' These images were not positive and represent the stereotypesthat persist about black people today. Performing in black face stirs the memories of this past andreminds black people, in this instance, but also other minorities, that society continues to be intolerant,insensitive or, at the very least, uninformed. Ninja turtles invade channels R emember the good olddays when you were a kid? All you worried about was what kind of sandwich your mother was going toput in your Donny and Marie lunch box, who you were going to play with at recess the next day andwhich cartoon was going to fill your television screen on Saturday morning. It seemed the only reasonfor waking up early on Saturday was to see if Wonder Woman was going to save the day in her invisiblejet or if Plastic Man was going to stretch his way out of another sticky situation. Well, most thingshaven't changed for kids these days. I'm sure, just as we did, kids crawl out of their beds, pitter-patteracross the floor in their feety pajamas and sneak a peak at their favorite morning cartoon. But something is different. I am quite thankful for the survival of. cartoons such as "Bugs Bunny" and "Scooby-Doo,"along with the survival of the rare viewing of "The Jetsons" and "The Flintstones." But whateverhappened to Casper the Friendly Ghost or Baby Huey, that over-sized, clumsy baby bird who used tocarry his mother? Yes, something has definitely changed. Instead of seeing Casper's friendly face on the television screen, it has been replaced by a furry, brown-haired scruffy creature from outer space calledAlf. Please! You would think being on nighttime television would be enough. Violence has also seemedto rise to the occasion with blasts from super-powered ray guns and computer-operated machine guns.But there is the other end of the spectrum. Never forget our blue little friends, the Smurfs, with PapaSmurf leading the happy little critters. But nothing is more ridiculous or absurd than the morning cartoon known as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." What in the world does this mean? To be completely honest, I cannot see a 3-year-old asking his or her mother in a sweet, innocent voice, "Oh please, mama!Can't I watch just a few more minutes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Just think what this child will be like in 10 years. What ever happened to simple names such as "The Superfriends" or "TheFlintstones"? All I've got to say is long live Scooby-Doo and Bugs Bunny. May the mutant ninja turtlesnever cross their channels! ---------- Western Front - 1989 May 2 - Page 15 ---------- The Western Front May 2,1989 15 Letters Jam coverage ail Nash Hall Editor, This is the second yearin a row that I have participated in the Western Jam. I enjoy being a part of this event. I was glad tosee the coverage that the Jam received in the Front, but I was disappointed by the angle of the article. Irealize that Nash Hall sponsors the event, and it is customary for Nash to have a winning entry, but Ithought the article was very biased toward the winning Nash act. Seven paragraphs were spentdescribing the act in detail. The second- and third-place halls at the very least should have received the individuals' names in the paper. I'm sure that they worked as hard on their acts as Nash did, yet they were described only as Beta Hall and Bimam Wood. The whole tone of the article seemed to insinuatethat Nash was the only act worthy of being in the Jam, let alone advance to the finals. This was not thecase. The competition was very stiff, and I believe it will become more competitive and more polishedwith every passing year. There was everything from a disco medley to the Heat Miser/Snow Miser songfrom "A Year Without Santa Claus." I think that the article would have benefited from a slight change infocus, from every detail of the Nash entry to a description of the Jam as a whole. I'm not sure if this wasthe decision of the reporter or an editorial decision, but I hope that this will be considered in the future. Rati Dougherty sophomore, English major Thoelke story inflames fury Editor, As an alumna of thisfine institution it feels good to be able to take pride in Western. However, Don Hunger's article on Kent Thoelke in Friday's Front made me embarrassed of this school. The errors in Mr. Hunger's article andthe inflammatory false headline were reminiscent of trash news. This past year I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Thoelke, and I was impressed with his dedication to the Associated Students. Perhaps if Ms. Lindblom had taken more time to look into the presidential candidates she might not havemade such a comment. After all, who is anyone to judge another without knowing all of the facts, truefacts, that surround that person and the situation? Unf or-v tunately, as Mr. Hunger has shown us, truefacts can't always be found in a newspaper. However, having been at Western for four years, I havefaith in the .student body. There are few people with as much experience and dedication that Mr.Thoelke has exhibited in the past two years.

It ends with the five-minute wait for chimichangas in theRidgeway Dining Hall. News flash: the residence halls are overcrowded. Significant changes took placein the residence hall system preparing for this year's expected influx of students. Temporary housingwas relocated from Higginson to 11 apartments in Birnam Wood, seven lounges in Mathes Hall,three lounges in Nash Hall and two rooms in Edens Hall South. The lounges have been converted torooms complete with ^â€¢^dressefSr^^setâ€”facilities r-desks, - beds and locks on the doors. As of Oct.16, 92 students were still living in temporary housing with 12 students waiting to fill out check-out forms. Linda Velenchenko, university residences assignments manager, said, "There are four-person units inBirnam Wood with six people in them. The square footage is larger than Beta/Gamma suites ... We aremoving as quickly as we can to move people put of temporary housing. "We will offer reimbursement topeople in Birnam Wood who are living with more than four in a unit. They'll be paying what is morecomparable to someone living in Birnam Wood with a meal plan," she said. Velenchenko said thatincluding those students living in Birnam Wood with residence hall contracts, 279 more people live inthe residence halls this year than last. The residence halls were at capacity last year. She said one ofthe reasons for the overcrowding is admission quotas went up this year and the -university-admittedmore students than last year. According to admission figures provided by Director of AdmissionsKaren Copetas, 761 more students were admitted to Western this year than last. Western tries toguarantee housing to anyone who wants it. Velenchenko said priority is given to returning students,and from there priority goes to people who apply the earliest. She said priority dates are set by the daythe student applied to Western. "We have to look at the priority system and see if that has to bechanged in any way. We will always try to offer housing to freshmen," Velenchenko said. She saidUniversity Residences was working on proposals to create more beds with the system they have now. Students have mixed feelings about their temporary housing situations. Roommates JessicaPlimpton, sophomore, and junior Mary Gimness, are living in a converted lounge in Nash. . Plimptondidn't know she was assigned to live in a lounge until she was signing in to the dorm and instead of aroom number she signed next to the word, "lounge." See Housing, page 3 Inuit have power in names,new professor says By Anna Shaffer The Western Front The tables of power in the north are turning,journalist and artist Valerie Alia stated in her inaugural presentation for the new DistinguishedProfessorship of Canadian Culture on Wednesday. In "Making a Difference: Cultural Revival in theCanadian North," Alia described the meaning of names and what they say about power in relation to theInuit of northern Canada. She also demonstrated how Inuit culture has survived despite tremendousadversity. The audience of about 600 listened attentively in the Performing Arts Center conceit hall asAlia gave her presentation. "Today I want to talk about a Canada that the media seldom portrays," Aliasaid. The Distinguished Professorship of Canadian Culture is an endowed position focused on Canadianculture under the jurisdiction of the Canadian-American Studies program. Holders of this position canrange from artists to performers to scholars to writers and so on. It is also a temporary position that willtypically rotate after two years. "The purpose of instating this position is to bring to campus outstandingindividuals who are involved with Canadian culture," said Don Alper, director of Canadian- Americanstudies. "Having such a position provides a continuing source of cultural enrichment to campus." Alia'sunderstanding of and connections with Canada makes her qualified for this position, Alper said. gt;Sixteen years ago, Aha was teaching a sociology course and a discussion emerged regarding how thestudents got their names. The discussion was so passionate, Alia became interested in names andstarted research. "I got a sense that the most extreme examples of conflict emerge in the naming ofchildren. I learned that every government in the world regulates naming. I learned that peopleeverywhere get their names changed, and sometimes it is against their own will," Alia said. Then shelearned about Project Surname, an effort by the Canadian government to rename Inuit Canadians. She traveled north to learn more about naming. "Names are the core of Inuit culture. They are a form ofreincarnation," Alia said. Although many people thought Project Surname would mean the destruction of Inuit culture, they were wrong. "The traditional ways of naming are very much alive," Alia said. Aliaintegrated audio recordings of several Inuit into her narrative, which explained the traditional way ofnaming. Each person told their own story on what their names are, and how and why they got them. "Ithought her presentation was very inspirational and informative because culture can make a differenceover power elites," Journalism Professor Tim Pilgrim said. "I think it is a great push forward. People'sknowledge of Nunavut (future Inuit territory) was broadened. I thought it was very insightful," said KarlFritz, Press and Cultural Front/Dennis Pasco Counselor for the U.S. Consulate General in Valerie Aliaspoke to a near-capacity crowd Vancouver, B.C. Wednesday in the Performing Arts Center. In her "It was interesting to learn speech, Alia discussed her research on the Inuit. more about what is happening next door," said Doug Hamilton, assistant "Her presentation makes you stop and to the Canadian ConsulateGeneral in think about your own name and where it Seattle. comes from," said senior Kati Knutzen. ---------- Western Front - 1996 October 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT October 18. 1996 Campus Police Oct. 16,12:47 a.m.: An unknownsuspect took a sharp object and slashed the soft cover of a vehicle in the 700 block of 25th Street.

APnews from around theglobe SEATTLE â€” A pile driver pounded pipe into the ground on Wednesday near the Kingdome for the new Mariners ballpark. Some King County Councilmembers want to put the construction on hold.Councilwoman Maggie Fimia said the Council needs more lease information before it issues bonds.The Council has to be certain they will have enough revenue to pay off the bonds. Over the 20-year life ofthe bonds, taxpayers will pay more than $700 million for the ballpark, making it one of the mostexpensive county projects ever. The Council must act quickly in order for the Mariners to meet the goal of opening the new stadium for the 1999 season. Mariners and stadium-board officials went before theCouncil on Wednesday. liTidNii WEST LAYFAYETTE, Ind. â€”APurdue University student accused ofcocaine possession killed himself Wednesday after killing the dorm counselor who turned him in.

A spokesman for the university said aSWAT team then fired tear gas inside, entered the room and found that the student had shot himself.Purdue spbkeswoman Ellen Rantz said the dorm counselor, an upperclass student, had discoveredcocaine in the other student's possession Wednesday. A police search confirmed the drug possession. TABA, Egypt â€” Palestinian and Israeli negotiators tried to work out details Wednesday of an Israelitroop pullback from Hebron. U.S. mediator Dennis Ross said the talks were a start on resolving issuesthat have held up progress on Middle East peace. Israeli radio reports compromises emerged on twomajor points: the extent of Palestinians control of the city and whether Israel would be allowed to raidPalestinian neighborhoods to arrest suspects. Leaders are accusing each other of breaking promisesmade in the peace agreement. AP Wire compiled by Melissa Leslie Housing, from page 1 She said thatif she'd been informed, "the whole situation wouldn't be that bad." Gimness said, "Overall, it weighsitself out." Both of them were bothered by the idea of having to move out at an unknown random date.They are happy with their roommate situation and hope to stay in the room at least until the end of thequarter. Freshmen Corey Callaway and Evan Yesberger live in temporary housing in Birnam Woodwith four other men. They are also pleased with their roommate combination but have their share ofcomplaints. "They throw us in here and we never know when we're supposed to move out," Yesberger said. None of the roommates have a car, and getting to campus is an unexpected hassle. Callawaycomplained about being forced to have a meal plan. They were unwillingly placed in a quiet stack andfeel it is an unwarranted infringement on their lifestyle. Junior Chris Hoag said, "It's absolutelyunreasonable, unethical and illogical to put six people in an apartment. I wanted to be with juniors in the same situation as me." A "roomrate rebate program" has been established to help compensatefor the shortcomings of "guest housing" in Birnam Wood. The students living in Birnam Woodtemporary housing will be paid from the day they moved in until the day they are placed somewhereelse or they sign a lease. If six students are living in a unit each of them will receive $6.50 a night. Fivestudents per room will be compensated $5.50 and four students will get $4.50. The students will havethe option of crediting their student account or putting it toward munch money or getting a cash refund.According to admissions projections, the numbers of students wanting to live on campus next yearis expected to increase from approximately 125 to 150. This number will be split between newfreshmen, new transfers, new graduate students and the retention from the students on campus. oreStU (Something every college student will love.)

Alexandra has been sorting through files stacked on the floor, exposed to flooding andnot arranged in any order. Alexandra spoke to Professor Maurice "Foisy's Politics of Inequality classOct. 8 about her work in El Salvador where she and a team of volunteers she coordinates for theAssociation in Search of Disappeared Children investigate international adoptions, many between theUnited States and El Salvador. The ASDS is investigating documents from 1979 to 1992 todetermine which adoptions were conducted without the consent of biological parents. Salvadoranlaw requires that before children are adopted, a social and economic study be completed and a releaseform from the parents be signed, Alexandra said. Of the 1,200 to 1,500 adoptions during the Civil War,ASDS estimates at least 500 were illegal. "There were U.S. soldiers, military officials and advisors... U.S. citizens never had a clear idea exactly how many advisors were in El Salvador," Alexandra said. During the U.S. occupation of El Salvador, tax payers here sent $1.5 million per day, she said. The fulltally toward the war effort was $6 billion, according to The Boston Globe. Recently, declassifiedSalvadoran State Department documents indicate the embassy there was aware of at least someirregularities, reported Larry Rohter of The New York Times. Rohter writes that a Salvadoran death-squad leader is identified in the documents as "having snatched the babies from the conflictive zones in order to sell them for adoption." "(Salvadoran) family members contact us in some way, they file theircase with us, they give us all the information they have on their case. Then, we follow up the case with a regional investigator who goes out to the countryside to interview people who might haveinformation," Alexandra said. ASDS members shuffle through piles of paperwork, conduct interviews in remote Salvadoran villages and create a case file for the child. When the search is narrowed by informa-ments, whether the children were "forcibly disappeared" or missing within the time period of theconflict. Court records also help determine the parents' whereabouts at the time of the child'sdisappearance. Guindas, or forced exodus of people fleeing military oppression, separated childrenfrom their parents. During counterinsurgency operations, military forces swept Salvadorans who wereorganizing against institutionalized oppression, Alexandra said. "The fighting was about the fact thatpeople did not have access to land ... people living in extreme poverty (without) access to education,jobs... added to the fact that there was wide-scale abuse of human rights ... the legal system did notrepresent them. "People had a theory of justice. They were not only oppressed, they knew they wereoppressed ... These people began to struggle for their human dignity, they began to organize," she said. "Salvadorans were struggling against systematic historical oppression." Forced assimilation, genocidal . policies, and extreme poverty are some issues that parallel those of American Indians in the UnitedTheM.S. E0ibassy has records because ... children who were adopted out-sffjsjrf' fkjlnited States ... intoU.S. families. The U.S. Embassy has to / l | | I i i e i l | l l of those adoptions. Jill! illlll - Darcf^^exa^SaCoordinator for the Association in Search of' Disappears CJtifSren tion gathered from courts, orphanagesand children's homes, ASDS matches the families through DNA testing. The ASDS is in contact withthe Physicians for Human Rights out of Boston, which donates the DNA tests. ASDS narrows theirsearch by determining, through court docu-in and destroyed towns, forcing thousands of people to fleetheir homeland. Orphanages were ready to take children with the consent of their parents. The homesagreed to feed, clothe, and shelter the tots until family members established a home to bring them backto. The counterinsurgency tactic was meant to ruin the morale of States, Alexandra said. "(But), thereare very real differences, which are important to understand," she said. "The U.S. Embassy hasrecords because ... children who were adopted outside of the United States ... into U.S. families, theU.S.- embassy has to have records of those adoptions. But the U.S. Embassy is saying they overhaultheir records every two years and they no longer have those records. So we haven't been able to accessthose files. Physicians for Human Rights has been following up on that," Alexandra said. The RedCross was also unable to locate adoption records, she said. The Salvadoran Red Cross said theInternational unit had the records. The International Red Cross tells ASDS that the records weredestroyed in the 1986 earthquake. With the help of the National Human Rights Ombudsman, theASDS has gained entrance into courts to investigate files. In order to help, said Alexandra, it isimportant for students to keep informed and to understand U.S. involvement in El Salvador. Part of herwork with ASDS is to accurately record history for future generations. "There has been suchtremendous violence ... if the (Salvadoran) government has a national policy of amnesia it doesn't domuch for all the people who are suffering from the disappearance of their children or the assassinationof their husbands and wives ... "They don't have amnesia. They remember very well. I think that'simportant ... that future generations understand ... to address these issues and say 'yes, it did happen,and we don't ever want it to happen again,'" she said. "Students need to go no further than the LummiReservation to have people talk to them about institutionalized violence," Alexandra said. dÂ£^**fc "Icare for my patients as if you are a family member!"

Mere mortals shuffled to class and hurriedhome to nice, hot cups of cocoa. However, Western Front reporters Matt Finlinson and Riley Mortonwent out to figure out what the hell those damn sculptures all over Western's campus are about.Trudging through the rain, Finlinson and Morton arrive at the sculpture in front of the Performing ArtsCenter entitled, "For Handel." MF: "For Handel?" This orange monstrosity should be put to use. I saywe rename it "For Haggard." Come on Riley, strap a wrecking ball to that thing and let's get rid ofHaggard once and for all. By the way, isn't Haggard Danish for "eyesore?" RM: I'm not jumping on thatgiant mosquito, man! It'll give me a bite the size of a basketball. Matt, let's get out of here, this thing isscaring me. Finlinson and Morton run around the library through the rain and come to the piece entitled,"The Man Who Used to Hunt Cougars for Bounty." RM: Matt, I think a mistake is in this brochure. Isn'tthis supposed to read, "The Man Who Used to Hump Cougars for Booty?" MF: I don't know if I'll go thatfar, but .wherei did this guy learn to hunt cougars? The last time I went cougar hunting I didn't try totackle the damn thing. RM: Yeah, I guess you are right. However, I do think that Western ought torecruit this guy for the football team. It's still raining. Finlinson and Morton arrive at the haunting,medieval sculpture in front of the Fine Arts Building, otherwise known as, "Spirit House #1." RM: Thissculpture scares me. I'm glad I'm not an art student. I've heard one of the art department professors builtthis sculpture to threaten art students who don't graduate in under eight years. That might be just a dirtyrumor. RM: Matt, what is up with this huge traffic diversion here? These three slabs of metal in themiddle of the path are screwing everything up. MF: What better way to get students from all ethnicbackgrounds together than erect a 50-foot wide student funnel across the brick-laden walkway? It's onlya matter of time before a skater starts rail-sliding. RM: But Matt, you know as well as I do thatskateboards aren't allowed on this campus. The skateboards ruin the bricks. Oh, Matt, watch out for that Physical Plant truck. The rain is now officially horizontal. Finlinson and Morton stumble upon the newScience Lecture Hall's sculpture called "The ^ ^ ^ ^ _ Islands of the Rose Apple Tree Surrounded by theOceans of the World for You, Oh My Darling." MF: Good thing this woman wasn't a writer, or she wouldhave made "War and Peace" look like a Dr. Seuss book. Isn't there a rule against using 19 words asthe title for a sculpture? RM: Hey Matt, check out this sculpture! I think it is the best one we've seen.Just look at the brilliant red the artist used, clearly a metaphor for man's humanity in the face of evil.MF: Wrong Riley, it's a fire hydrant, man's safeguard in the face of fire. Still heading south, the Frontreporters brave 50- mile-an-hour gusts while walking toward Fairhaven College. They make their way tothe sculpture called, "Untitled." MF: Steaming rocks, what a relief. Call it a stereotype, but whenever Isee smoke at Fairhaven, steaming rocks aren't exactly what I have in mind. I would have to admit this isthe Kodak moment of my trip, Riley. The two decide to finish up the tour with "Alphabeta Cube" in theFairhaven courtyard. RM: I heard a Fairhaven student solved this giant Rubik's cube in 1983, but hedisappeared the next day. The Physical Plant was rumored to be involved. The day had clearly taken itstoll on the two reporters. But the memories of sculptures gone by warmed their hearts. The OutdoorSculpture Collection had left them physically exhausted and mentally incoherent. This trek isn't for thefaint of heart. 'Man Who Used to Hunt Cougars for Bounty.'

The original Nintendo familiarized us with the lovable character of Mario, who shot fireballs, punched bricks and stomped mushrooms at our command. Well, Mario has moved on to bigger and better things. Nintendo's Ultra 64 is the newest game system on the market and has blown the competition out of the water. This virtual reality, three-dimensional worldchallenges even the most experienced game players. Nintendo's high level of secrecy surrounding therelease of the system, the dynamics of the games and even the place where Ultra 64 was created, hasleft the public in high anticipation for their new toy. Shigera Miyamoto, the Japanese creator ofNintendo, has been called "The king of gameplay," by Next Generation magazine after his release ofUltra 64. The new system has been complimented as better than the first Nintendo, The Saturn,Playstation, and even arcade versions of our favorite games. Sega is expected to be the biggestcompetitor for Nintendo 64 this Christmas, but so far, Sega Saturn just doesn't measure up to Ultra 64's graphics and possibilities. "Since we've gotten the Nintendo 64, our four other game stations remainuntouched," said senior Shawn Keller, who recently purchased the Ultra 64. "The graphics areincredible. At one point, Mario jumps around smoking after burning himself in the lava." The 360 degree, multi-function joystick (a bit overwhelming for the amateur game-player) allows Mario to run,jump, climb, swim, slide and crawl. While swimming, you have your choice of breaststroke or flutter-kick. Jumps are not your everyday jumps. Mario can continuously jump, triple jump, long jump and dobackward and sideways somersaults. The opportunities are endless. "Anything you can imagine, youcan do," Keller said. Even Mario's vocabulary has improved, as he now introduces himself at thebeginning of the game with, "It's me, Mario," in an Italian accent. Mario reprimands himself with "MamaMia" if he messes up. He even lists off his favorite pasta dishes (spaghetti, ravioli, etc.) if you putthe control down and forget about him for a little while. So what's Mario's problem this time? The storybegins as Mario receives an invitation from Princess Toadstool (have you ever wondered what's up withthose two?). She wants him to visit the Mushroom castle for cake. The silence of the castle leads Mario to believe that something might be wrong. He is drawn into the secret paintings on the castle walls,only to discover that Bowser and his army have taken the princess captive ... again. Mario is the onlyone she can count on for her safe return. In addition to Super Mario 64, players can expect manygames for Ultra 64 to be released this year. "Kirby Bowl 64" is similar to "Marble Madness." "Legend ofZelda" fans can anticipate the return of "Link" to gaming in a new, 3-D expedition. "Pilotwings 64" givesplayers the opportunity to master flying, whether their craft of choice be hang glider, A BlockbusterVideo customer tries out the new Nintendo system, 'Ultra 64.' Front/Gunther Frank jetpack orgyrocopter. "Star Wars" fans can anticipate the release of "Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire."Other movie fans can expect "Bond, James Bond" in the release of "Golden Eye 007," a game similar to "Doom." "Super Mario Kart R" and "Wave Racer" promise speed and racing for the fast-track players.Even though the new 64-bit drive is faster, there are some small limitations. The cartridges store lessinformation and are harder to copy. Compared to the primitive technology of the other game systemson the market, these problems are minute. , Toys'R'Us has a "Test Drive Arcade" for interested gamers. Around 140 systems were presold at the Bellingham Toys'R' Us for the Sept. 29 arrival. Severalthousand were sold in the Washington/Oregon/Idaho ( region. A $25 down-payment at Toys R Us willreserve a system for the Nov. 30 arrival. The system itself costs $200 and the price is expected tostay the same at least until next year. 4 ---------- Western Front - 1996 October 18 - Page 7 ---------- Fall lineup falls short By Kristen Darland The Western Front The 1996 television season may havebrought some of the worst shows in history into our living rooms. After three weeks of sampling thenew season, it was hard to find shows to actually pick rather than pan. On the upside, Molly Ringwaldmakes her television debut in Townies, and Relativity looks to be the most promising new drama of the'96 season. Suddenly Susan, starring Brooke Shields and former brat packer Judd Nelson, joined NBC's"Must See TV" lineup. Suddenly Susan nabbed prime-time's most coveted time slot, Thursday's at 9:30p.m. sandwiched between Seinfeld and Â£7?. Shields is Susan, a flaky San Francisco magazinecolumnist. Suddenly Susan does have its moments causing outright laughter, but the comedicsplendor does not belong to Shields. The only thing that will keep this series afloat, besides its timeslot, is'a stelliar supporting'cast. The most appropriate display of Shields' comedic talent came in the seasonopener. In a self-help seminar, Shields plummets backward in a leap of faith hitting the floor with a loudthud, semi-symbolic of her talent as a sitcom actress. Every season comes with a new drama seriesthat glues its female followers to the television screen. This season it appears to be Relativity. Starring"Father of the Bride's" Kimberly Williams, Relativity opened strong with a familiar tale of forbidden love. William's character, while engaged to a long time companion, falls hopelessly in love while on vacation in Europe. So, she dumps her fiance for her whimsical, love-at-first-sight romance. Relativity will needto pick up the pace, however, to keep the interest of its viewers. Two familiar faces returning from longtelevision absences are Justine Bateman and Michael J. Fox. Bateman scored her own series, MenBehaving Badly, Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on NBC. The title pretty much sums up the show,exemplifying all major stereotypes associated with men and their behavior. The series continually boastscreative examples to menacing problems, such as: "no milk to go along with those Cheerios? Simplesolution, just add beer. Run out of coffee filters? Yet another simple solution: use dirty underpants tosimulate coffee filters." Joining Bateman in the series is Saturday Night Live veteran Rob Schneiderand former ER cast member Ron Eldard. In a nutshell, Men Behaving Badly is tasteless and sexist â€”just the kind of show college students everywhere will watch. Fox's new series is called Spin City, 9:30p.m. on ABC. In the series Fox plays Mike, the deputy mayor of New York. His character is not unlikeanother we have seen from Fox. He plays a high-strung, highly-motivated public figure that can't shakeanal-retentiveness or stop talking about his reporter girlfriend Ashley. Fox still looks like he is 12 yearsold, and the fact that his staff has no respect for him reflects this even more. The stuffy political officelacks the verve to make it as a comedy series, although you do get an occasional one-liner from thesupporting cast. Spin City competes for ratings Jenna Elfman, Molly Ringwald and Lauren againstNBC's Caroline in the City. Graham all star in Townies on ABC. Spin City might just have guaranteedCaroline's success. ABC's new series, Townies, starring Molly Ringwald, is definitely part of the silverlining around television's dark cloud this season. Townies is a comedy about locals in a small NewEngland town. The show covers such deep topics as bad hair, love and marriage and even a best friend's dead dog referred to as "a big furry anti-Christ." The show is basically about nothing, but is funny all thetime. Somehow the show turns locals sitting on a dock, drinking beer, into something comedic. If itworked for Seinfeld, it should work for Townies. Small portions of the show seemed so justifying. SeeingRingwald imitate a dead dog to appease her grieving friend was reason enough to watch the show. Withso much hype placed on the new shows with big name stars, this year, it's a shame to see some sodisappointing. Not all of the new series are bad, it just takes a little channel-surfing to find them. ---------- Western Front - 1996 October 18 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT MMM October 18. 1996 wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Vikings sendWarriors to Valhalla By Kristin Darland The Western Front The Western women's volleyball teamclinched the biggest upset of the season over No. 3-ranked Lewis and Clark State College Thursday atCarver Gym. The Vikings slaughtered the Warriors in three straight games, 15-3, 15-9, 15-10. It didn'ttake long for senior outside hitter Jana Freeman set the pace of the match. Freeman delivered an aceto the Warriors on the first serve of the game. The Vikings, undefeated on their home turf, devastated the Warriors, giving up the lead only twice throughout the three-game match. Western stayed tough asLCSC set up its defensive rallies. The Vikings defense was unstoppable. Sophomore Tanya Price helped create an impenetrable wall the Warriors' hitters could not break. Serving was also a key factor inThursday night's victory, with a team total of 10 aces. "We're not super-athletic, but we pressure themwith serves," Head Coach Michael DiMarco said. "Everyone was extremely focused," senior outsidehitter Chrissy Sursely said. "We were very composed and not shaken. When we played them before wecould not control our adrenaline. "What is important is that we played the game on our side of the net,not theirs." Sursely proved to be a challenge to the Warriors delivering 11 kills, 21 digs and three serviceaces. Freeman led the Vikings offensively with a total of 19 kills and two service aces. Freeman isWestern's season and all-time leader in service aces. Price also contributed to the win with 10 kills andfour huge blocks. Junior Adrienne Sloboden was the backbone of the team, racking up 40 assists, fivedigs and a service ace. "This was a great win," DiMarco said. "Tonight was a good springboard for the rest of the season." The Vikings, currently ranked No. 24 in the NAIA poll, improved their record to 15-3,3-1 in league play, bringing them one step closer to postseason play. With six games left in theseason, the Vikings will challenge Central Washington University Saturday at Carver Gym. "(TheWarriors) are an outstanding team, and we are a good team," DiMarco said. "I think that Head FootballCoach Rob Smith said it best when he said, 'Championship teams are good teams that get a littlelucky.' We'll take all the luck we can get." "Tonight we wanted to play to our ability, play consistentand not let them into our game," Sursely concluded. Western hopes to continue its three-game winningstreak in the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference Saturday. The Vikings need a win to stay atop thePNWAC standings. Evening the season series with No. 3 LCSC improved Western's chances for a highseed in the November playoffs. The Vikings, who have faced five nationally-ranked opponents thisseason, have four remaining conference counters before the PNWAC semifinals Nov. 14. Front/ChrisLuczyk Outside hitter Chrissy Sursely pounds the ball past the Warriors defense. Western footballretains its No. 2 national ranking Western's football team held on to its No. 2 ranking in the NAIAnational polls released Monday. This is the sixth straight week in the runner-up position for the team.The Vikings, 4-0 on the season, are coming off a 32-14 Homecoming win against Linfield College lastSaturday. The Vikings still lead the nation in total offense, averaging 523.5 yards per game. Westernwill need the advantage at Southern Oregon State College, which has not allowed a passing touchdownin the last four games. The contest against the Raiders, 3-1, opens Western's Columbia FootballAssociation play. Western has won its last five road games, but will be without first- and second-stringrovers Jeremy Hader and John Wambaugh, who both suffered possible season-ending knee injuries inthe Linfield game. Game time is 1:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on KGMI at 790 AM. Sailing to newhorizons ^SUBH^HHI^^^^^H^^M â€¢1IBBI1I Women's rugby ^^^â€¢li^^S^^^^B^^Hl By Joanne Fry TheWestern Front Windy days in Bellingham are usually unwelcome, but members of the Western Sailing Club couldn't get a better forecast from the weatherman. This season the club opens its sails rankedNo. 18 and is dedicated to returning to the sailing nationals in the spring. Last year, the clubskippered its way to Madison, Wise, where it placed 19th in nationals. This year, the club is sendingsenior Nelson Windgard to Charleston, S.C. to compete in the 1997 national competition. He placed first in the district's single-round eliminations. The district includes schools from Washington, Oregon and Idaho. With a record turnout this season, the team anticipates raising its ranking even higher. Theteam currently has .52 members, only 12 of whom are returning. So many sailors turned out this yearpeople have to wait their turn at practice for one of the 16 boats. For a fee, the club practices inuniversity-owned Alphas, 14- foot, 2-person boats. The club owns two Flying Juniors, also 14- foot, 2-person boats. The Flying Juniors are the only boats used in competition and are towed by club members to regattas. Returning junior Wade Rinehardt said, "We have a solid team with many new sailors. Ihave high expectations for us and I think this will be the best year ever for the team's national rank-ing.The club meets at 4:30 p.m. at Lakewood Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday to challenge the waters ofLake Whatcom until dusk. "To do well in the sport, you have to have both physical and mental skillswhich require a lot of practice," said returning sophomore K.C. Bodily. Bodily, a sailor since he canremember, helps teach the physical education department's sailing class. On most weekends, theteam competes in regattas â€” some as far as Southern California. The club recently returned fromBerkeley, Calif, where it sailed in the Stoney Burke Regatta Oct. 12-13. The team placed seventh out of15 schools that included Stanford, University of Hawaii and Pepperdine University. Western will sail theBailer Series, three consecutive weekend regattas, Oct. 18-Nov. 3. The competition will have teamsfrom University of Washington and other regional schools. Bailer One begins at 10 a.m. Saturday andSunday at Lakewood. Although the club offers competitive opportunities, members are not pressured. "Our first priority is to have fun," said returning sophomore Danielle Kean. To help pay its expenses, the club receives funding from Associated Students. Sailors also pay membership dues.

Whether they are legal or illegal, and we have seen both eras, women will still have them done. The politicians can make it expensive,difficult and even illegal, but they can't stop it from happening. The debate rages on â€” pro-choice vs.pro:life â€” and that won't change, but after listening to the vice-presidential debates it might one day bethe pro-choicers who have to stage picket lines yet again. The Republicans have done their best toappease the moderates within the party. However, when the candidates were asked outright to statetheir position on the issue of abortion Kemp predictably said Dole would vote against allowing womenthe opportunity to make a choice. What may have come as a surprise to many was Gore's response. He said that although the president vetoed the proposed ban on partial-birth abortions, he would beamenable to a bill banning abortion as long as it provided for eventualities like rape, incest and danger tothe woman's health. Yes â€” Gore said if the Republicans would unbend and compromise he wouldsupport a ban on abortions. So, unless a woman is vilely assaulted, she would no longer have the right to terminate her pregnancy. Let's hope the Republicans don't compromise. Let's hope they never learn toact like grown-ups. After the Senate failed to override the president's veto of partial- birth abortions,Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said, "It's really difficult for me as a woman to hear those men describinga procedure they've never gone through that has never affected their family with such arrogance."Banning partial-birth abortions has the same censorious overtones as letting the government decidewhat is and is not acceptable for the public to listen to. Once you start drawing lines, where do youstop? The veto would have been the first congressional move to outlaw a particular method of abortion.It is that first step that may give the trigger-happy pro-lifers (who incidentally protest the death of unbornchildren, then turn around and murder doctors who simply provide women with a choice) the opportunitythey need to once again put women under the yolk of a man's will, like the mindless chattle they are.Why don't they just take away a woman's right to vote? It amounts to the same thing â€” the ability, theright to choose your future. â€”Chris Troyke, Sports editor The Western Front Editor: Jesse A.Hamilton; Managing editor: Darrin Wellentin; News editors: Lisa L.

Imagine this scene: It's Friday night, you are at the movie you have been waitingweeks to see. You have your favorite companion on one side and a bucket of buttery popcorn on theother. The scene is perfect, except for the couple with overactive libidos giving the entire theater instantreplays of each intimate moment in the film. Or even better, you are at the Up Up on a Thursday night. The place is crowded as it is. All you want to do is make it to the bar for one last $1 pitcher. As youswim through the sea of people, you get stuck in line behind a sappy couple exchanging drunk vows ofeternal love and pawing each otherlike rabid dogs. I have encountered both of these scenes. Thesesituations are about as entertaining as an infomercial at 3 a.m. Everyone has seen it and everyonereacts to it in different ways. I am talking about public displays of affection, more commonly known asPDA. You can not escape them; they are everywhere. You will see PDA on campus, in the bars, at themovies and even in the grocery store. I am not putting down being in love or showing someone howyou feel about him or her. However, I am a firm believer in the old saying, "There is a time and a place for everything." Call me crazy, but I don't appreciate walking through a public place and feeling as if I aman extra in a Big Red commercial. Watching a couple "kiss, a little longer and stay close a littlelonger" is not high on my list of favorite activities. Quite frankly, I believe tacky would be the best way todescribe a PDA. Some things should not be done in public. You wouldn't pick your nose or fart in class,so why engage in acts of passion in the middle of Red Square? I could be wrong, but I believe it ismedically proven that no one has ever died from temporarily suppressing the urge to publicly maul one'ssignificant other. Being in a relationship is an incredible thing. Sharing private, intimate moments withyour loved one certainly does go hand-in- hand with being in a relationship, but private is exactly what those moments should be. No one is forcing others to watch a couple performing publicly. PDA arehard to ignore. Regardless of what you might think, not everyone wishes to be drawn into the action.PDA can put the non-participants in an uncomfortable situation. A PDA can also be downright offensive. I could almost bet that when Marvin Gaye sang "Let's Get It On," he really wasn't talking about the busstop or the grocery store. Another thing to consider is that you never know who could be watching.Wouldn't it be great if you went to church on Sunday and Rev. Bob informed you that he saw you at themovies. You were a little busy at the time, sucking on someone's face. Love is a many-splendoredthing, but please consider your actions while in the presence of others. Temporarily curbing yourhormones is not difficult. If you find it is difficult, either jump on the first shuttle home or head to thefifth-floor bathroom in Wilson Library. It has a lock. ---------- Western Front - 1996 October 18 - Page 11 ---------- Â» October 18. 1996 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 t Banning wheels bans fun, entertainment I seeboth sides â€” really, I do. Why should one or two ornery bikers destroy amusement and means oftransportation for the rest of us? I understand the Central Health and Safety Committee weighed all ofits options before taking such drastic measures. But come on, a ban of bicycles in the campus corefrom 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a ban of all skateboards and inline skates from the campus premises, is abit extreme. I agree with having restrictions for bicyclists and for other wheeled travelers. I've had my fair share of inconsiderate bikers who don't follow the 10-minutes-till dismount rule. I've had handlebars most unpleasantly protruded into my back, and I've nearly been run over more times than I can count. Still, Iknow not all bicyclists are that rude. Yes, they should be punished or, more importantly, rules shouldbe enforced. Can't we find a system where students could enforce dismount rules? Maybe the answer isnot banning bikes, skateboards and in-line skates, but finding ways of enforcing the very reasonablerules already in place. I never ride my bike to school. It was stolen last year, which is entirely anotheropinion piece. I also don't ride a skateboard or commute via in-line skates. Nevertheless, I get a lot ofpleasure from watching other people do these activities. Around 3 p.m., when Red Square is nearlydeserted, I like to watch a few of my peers practice bike stunts or play an active game of roller hockey. I never participate in these activities because my talents are elsewhere â€” far, far away from athleticcoordination. But why are we denying countless hours of entertainment to these people? I have an idea.How about we require bicyclists to attach mini-license plates to their bike seats. All on-campus bikescould be registered and students could enforce dismount rules on other bikers. This could be a newsource of revenue for the Associated Students. Leslie Keller^AS president, told me the staff is reallyexcited about starting new projects. What do you say Leslie, should we give it a whirl? Perhaps thenbicyclists would be a little more considerate out of fear from the consequences. I know theconsequences of getting a parking ticket have curbed my bad habits of parking on campus. Well, thislicense plate thing could be taking it too far. Or how about just making those hours a little more realistic, say 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. After 2 p.m.., I never see massive crowds of people roaming the walkways wherepotential collisions could occur. Every day, I see men and women gliding through the masses on their bikes. I want to turn to these people and say, "Don't you get it? If you would get off your bike and walkfor 10 minutes, everyone would be better off." I'm tired of hearing bicyclists say, "But I'm neverinconsiderate, and I always give walkers the right-of-way." Guess what? It doesn't matter anymore. Arule is a rule and it's all violators, whether inconsiderate or not, who destroy it for the rest of us.Finally, this whole thing about banning skateboards and in-line skates because they break bricks is aline of bull. You're trying to tell me driving a one-ton truck on the bricks is good for them? That lameexcuse excludes those from enjoying their pastimes on campus. You bicyclists have until January.Maybe you could show a little respect and abide by the rules rather than saying "screw the system."â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢â€¢ EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY WESTERNFRONT Graphics Production Assistant Position open immediately Requirements: -MacintoshPagemaker and Quark XPress experience with Paste-up skills (training provided). -Responsible,organized, able to meet deadlines. -Full time student enrollment required SUBMIT RESUME ANDLETTER OF INTENT TO Business Manager, The Western Front, CH 110, MS 9100 USING 1 6 1EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY WESTERN FRONT Advertising Sales Representative Position openimmediately Requirements: -Prior sales experience helpful but not essential (training provided) -Capable of dealing with the public -Full time student enrollment required SUBMIT RESUME AND LETTER OFINTENT TO Business Manager, The Western Front, CH 110, MS 9100 INDEX liiBHlliifc^ I H I i B l l i i i i l i i i i i i i l l ll flliliHiiBiill H S B i i l i ^ i i l i l W I I I BiMiiiiiliiiiiil lillilWilWB^B WESTERN FRONTCLASSIFIEDS 101.

"A Survey of the Status of Graduate Women at Western Washington State College" wascompleted in May by Joyce Marshall and Patricia A. Montgomery. Marshall and Montgomery weregraduate students interning in the associate dean of students office. The survey met the researchrequirement for graduate study in College Student Personnel Administration. Both have now completedtheir masters degrees. From their data Marshall and Montgomery drew conclusions about such items as financial aid distribution, attitudes about job prospects, encouragement by faculty and reasons fordropping out. In spring, there were twice as many men and women graduate students at Western: 146women and about 295 men. A questionnaire was sent to all the women and to half the men. Seventy four women and 61 men returned the completed questionnaire. The survey shows more graduate men thanwomen receive financial aid: Forty seven per cent of the women get it and 57 per cent of the men do.Marshall and Montgomery point out, however, that only 55 per cent of the women applied for aid. Theywonder why women are not more thoroughly educated about the availability of aid. Teachingassistantships are the main source of aid to graduate students at Western. The survey shows "manymore men than women are in teaching assistant positions." According to Sue Nygaard of AffirmativeAction staff, memos are sent to departments "encouraging them to recruit male and female TAsequally." The current financial squeeze has caused the number of assistantships to drop. Even ifassistantships are better distributed in 1975, not many graduate students will be involved. Marshall andMontgomery conclude that "more women than men feel that their prospects for a job are worse thanmembers of the opposite sex." But they also say "a proportion of men" are beginning to feel "the 'crunch' of perceived preferential treatment given to women." The men respondents thought marriage demandswere the main reason for graduate women dropping out. The women, however, said they gave equalconsideration to lack of encouragement and lack of financial support. Both men and women were moreoften discouraged by male professors than by female professors. Marshall and Montgomery suggestawareness workshops might help change attitudes toward women graduate students. The AffirmativeAction handbook recommends yearly awareness discussions in each department. Nygaard saysadditional awareness workshops are still in planning stages but should be starting fail quarter. Theseworkshops would be interdepartmental and would include guest speakers. Marshall and Montgomeryalso suggest "more women faculty to provide role models for undergraduate and graduate women areneeded to build confidence and encourage high aspirations." According to Nygaard in spring there were436 men but only 76 women faculty at Western. Nygaard explains that the Affirmative Action goal forwomen faculty is that the number be "representative of the number of women qualified to teach in aparticular department." Marshall and Montgomery also think women graduate students' prospects forcompleting their degrees could be improved by campus day care and more evening classes. Copies ofthe survey are available at the Affirmative Action Office in Old Main 442. 3 new administrators namedThis enterprising young student took advantage of the warm weather to make a little extra money at RedSquare. â€” photo by J. E. McCartney Three new administrators, two from out of state and one fromHuxley, were appointed by the trustees at their meeting last week. James W. Davis, currently chairman of the political science department at Central Michigan University, was appointed dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The appointment is effective September 1 for 12 months with tenure. Davis haswritten a number of books about national politics and the presidency, including "Presidential Primaries:Road to the White House" and "The President and Congress: An Uneasy Truce." He was chosen from a field of five candidates who were interviewed during spring quarter. Ruth Weiner, chairman of City-college arbqretum plan ok'd A newly established city-college arboretum should maintain the presentnatural state of Sehome Hill. Western's Board ofeTrustees approved the interlocal agreement at itsAugust 1 meeting, and the Bellingham City Council followed suit Monday night. The agreement statesthat t h e arboretum will be "preserved in a natural state to the greatest extent possible, will be devotedto educational, aesthetic, recreational and research purposes, will be open to public access and will bedeveloped in a manner c o m p a t i b l e with sound ecological concepts. H o w a r d H a r r i s ofsociology/anthropology faculty has worked on the arboretum formation committee. He said thearboretum is necessary to maintain the unity of the Sehome Hill ecosystem. "Sehome Hill is a singleecological unit," he said. "Western's property runs halfway up the hill, and you wouldn't be able to havean arboretum if the rest of the hill were in another condition." A nine-member board of governors willdirect the development, operation and a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of the arboretum. The city and collegewill, each select three members. Three others including the chairman will be selected by the first six.The board will be unpaid and serve for three years. Basically, the board will prepare a long-range plan for the development of the arboretum. It will also prepare recommendations for the operation of thearboretum for approval by the city council and the board of trustees. The board of governors does nothave the power to employ staff or to enter in contracts. The arboretum agreement is for five years, but itmay be terminated by either party with a one-month notice. the physical sciences d e p a r t m e n t atFlorida International University, has been named dean of Huxley, succeeding Gene Miller, who resignedto take a post in Utah. A native of Austria, Weiner has also worked at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland, and she currently serves on editorial and review boards for several publications.James Albers, an associate professor at Huxley, has been appointed vice, provost for instruction andresearch. In his new post, he will be responsible for administrative coordination of the bureau for facultyresearch and the computer center. In addition he will serve as a member of Western's council of deans.He will retain his present rank and tenure at Huxley. Further phone line cuts threaten communication A proposal to ease layoffs 'by cutting phone â€¢ costs and stepping up mail delivery offered by a senatead hoc committee on alternatives to layoffs provides little new hope. Phone lines have been cut from 915 to 599 in the last five years. Further cuts in service would diminish effectiveness of the campuscommunications system, according to Bill Stolcis, Director of campus general services. "After all," hesaid, "if you can't communicate, you can't operate!" Western's communication budget is the lowest inper cent of any four-year school in the state, Stolcis pointed out. Money saved by phone cut-backs hashad to take up the slack in a recent $47,000 budget cut, reported Al Telles, supervisor of campuscommunications. He said the 599 lines are supporting 1,111 instruments and "that's getting pretty closeto a party line system." Pacific Northwest Bell charges a $25 minimum service charge each time a lineis taken out or a phone is patched into another line, Stolcis pointed out. Stolcis and Telles think fourdaily mail deliveries would be impossible because of the budget cut and would not solve campuscommunication problems. The service is adequate and if the money situation loosens, they will be ableto improve both services, they said. Jerry Anderson, academic vice president, could not be reached forcomment on what action had been taken on the senate committee report. A secretary in Anderson'soffice reached by phone said she wasn't aware of any action being taken, nor did she know for surewhere the report, is. ---------- Western Front - 1974 August 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Thqrsday, Aug. 8, 1974 f W 'â€¢_ i i " i ,. i ' . x . i Education, Japanese 'Vet rep' helpssfudenfc get aid business to be studied The Veterans Administration has appointed a local "vet rep" tohelp students get all the aid they can from the Veterans Administration as quickly as possible. JeremyStanden, appointed last week, helps veterans at Western, Whatcom Community College andBellingham Vocational Technical Institute. All of the problems Standen has worked on so far concernmoney. He said money is the biggest problem college veterans have, and it is the most common reasonfor their leaving college. Standen makes sure veterans know all their benefits under the Gl bill,vocational rehabilitation brogram or d e p e n d e n t ' s education allowance. He also helps them receive those benefits by attempting to get their checks to them on time. He is now meeting with members ofthe community and campus groups trying to find services already available to Veterans. This helps himdecide where to place the emphasis at his job.

"This workshop will be of special interest to teachers of all levels, student teachers, administrators, and people in the field of psychology," Jackson said. "In every generation gifted children pass through school unidentified and unclutivated," according to Samuel Al Kirk, a u t h o r of "Educating Exceptional Children."

Comment ca va? Hello,how's it going?" "Tres bien." "Very well." These words, often spoken by the students, sum up attitudesabout the foreign language department's summer program in French. Nineteen students are enrolled inthe intensive 5-week, 10-credit program. There are three "floating" levels for the students, beginning,intermediate and advanced. Program director Arthur Kimmel is satisfied with the program. "Everything'sgoing well," he said. "The students are doing well, and every body is having a good time." "I really likethe program," Carla Marsh, a second-year student, said. "It's really helped my. French." Marsh said she studies French because she enjoys it. She plans on returning to Western next summer to be in theprogram, and she also hopes to take a trip to France. Several of the 19 students will accompany Kimmel to Avignon, in the south of France, this fall to spend a Senate to meet A report of the SelectCommittee on Service Programs (Mitchell committee) will be the main topic of discussion when the All-College Senate meets Monday at 5 p.m. in Humanities 105. Library cuts period/ca/s The effects ofinflation will be made evident in the form of a cutback in the number of publications and periodicalsbeing made available to the students at Wilson Library. According to Robert Cross, assistant director ofpublic services, one of the factors behind the cutback is that there has been no increase in funding tocompensate for the rising cost of materials and increasing cost of subscriptions. On Europeanpublications, the devaluation of the dollar has had a great effect. The deadline for renewing subscriptions is late August and early September for the coming year. Cross said that because of the time factor,only faculty members, and not students, will be consulted.

The classes are taught in the relaxedatmosphere of the foreign language house at Fair haven College. In the warmer weather, the smallgroups often meet outdoors on the lawn. In the small groups, the students meet with native or fluentspeakers to converse, review lessons, go over compositions and practice oral comprehension. Besidesthe intensive class work, the students also participate in many social activities to learn more aboutFrench culture. There have been several potluck French dinners with crepes, boeuf bourguignon and vinordinaire, as well as e x c u r s i o n s to French restaurants, film festivals and the French radio stationin Vancouver. Kimmel said he would like to see the program continued in the academic year, if therewere the demand. The summer session will be offered again next summer, he said. This is the thirdsummer the program has been taught. Former campus president to talk on education goals James L.Jarrett, Western's president from 1954 to 1964, will speak to the college community August 15 at 3p.m. at the Campus Christian Ministry house. Jarrett, who has been a professor of education at theUniversity of California at Berkeley for the past 10 years, will speak on "A New Look at EducationalObjectives With Reference to College General Studies Programs." Jarrett is also teaching a shortcourse on the humanities August 12-23 which is aimed at teachers and prospective teachers. Thecourse will study the historic and philosophic ideals of humanistic education, and much of the materialwill be based on Jarrett's recent book, "The Humanities and Humanistic Education." Full participation inthe course with three credits will cost $69; full participation without credit, $20.

Despite the fact that he is a psychologist, I'm finding it hard to loathe and mistrust this Douglas Bernstein. And that's odd because there's always been this ambivalencetoward psychiatrists and psychologists floating around in the cultural consciousness, a kind of tunnelvision of the mind, that insists upon dismissing these people with the epithet, "shrink." In its mostvirulent form it asserts that this gang of deviants should drop the pretense of trying to "benefit humanity"and cop to the fact that their first love is for dicing armadillo ganglia and zapping the stuffing out of rats'brains with nasty little electrodes. The stereotype of the psychologist runs something like this: Thetherapist, decked out in a very conservative English-style tweed and sporting this annoyingly well-trimmed beard, sits in a large, overstuffed chair. One eye is slightly cocked. His hands fiddle with anexpensive briar pipe, just incidental stage business, incidental but necessary to create just the r i g h t . . . atmosphere. The stereotyped psychologist sees himself as a kind of psychic D.A., a Hamilton Burgerto the deranged. Casually he barbs his patient with these pointed and subtly leading questions. Thepatient responds but, sorry, Jack, it's just not good enough. Methodically, meticulously he probes,peeling layer after layer from the helpless psyche before him. He stalks his prey through a labyrinth ofdreads, secret desires and evasions. He gives no quarter, for the good doctor himself is the minotaur inthis uncomfortable little scenario.

Moran StatePark on Orcas Island, one of the more frequented campgrounds, is full almost constantly during thesummer months. According to the proprietor of t he Orcas Store, located at the ferry landing, thepopulation of Orcas Island increases from 1,200 during the winter months to over 12,000 in the summer.The only access to the islands is by air or Washington state ferry, Evergreen State, stops at Orcas Island ferry terminal. Bikers and foot passengers board ferry before cars. Ferries bridge water. Since fewtourists have their owi boats or can afford to fly, most are dependent upon the Washington State Ferries,which serve the larger islands in the San Juan group. Lopez, Shaw, Orcas and San Juan islands all loadand unload hundreds of cars per day during the busy part of the summer. The large influx of touristscauses some problems for the island residents, like crowded roads and trespassing. But the touriststhemselves may have their own problems coping with long ferry lines and long waits to get onto a ferry.Some seasoned travelers have developed a bag of tricks to help them avoid the inconveniences ofsummer travel. lane the hall ord one islai E Juai asst hav lt; S hou t o / Passengers enjoying the sun and salt air on the forwal watch the ferry Kaleetan pass on its way to Victoria, B( ---------- Western Front - 1974 August 8 - Page 5 ---------- Thursday, Aug. 8,1974 Western Front adition the relatively well-defined areas of discomfort such as thethe fear of snakes, water, heights, cars, etc., and put through a process in which they can fear "unlearn"their phobias. not Individuals who are victims of fear are not Ihing, dealt with as "sick," not labeled withlong, I even tongue-twisting lists of symptoms but are considered to be suffering from nothing more |t hemalignant sounding than "skill-deficiencies." with This shift in terminology isn't just a move clean, towardeuphemism but seems indicative of token fundamental changes in the relationship between the therapistand client.

Student gets off ground in self-designed flying major by ROBERTVALDEZ Kitty Banner has her feet off the ground. At 21, she is a private pilot and will soon have abachelor of arts in aviation from Fairhaven College. Kitty's desire to fly stems from her familybackground. Almost 10 years ago her brother received his instrument rating and took Kitty on her firstcross country flight. Since then, her father and two other brothers became pilots. The mLJor wasdesigned by Kitty in conjunction with advice from faculty adviser Dave Rahm of the geology department.Having completed the general education requirements and electives, Kitty started to design and reviseher major last fall. It took two months to compile courses and round up instructors. Kitty is using" the"Willard Airport" plan, a program used at the University of Illinois Institute of Aviation. In approximatelyfour semesters students may earn 50 or more credits and four flight courses required for the commercialcertificate. Classes required include acrobatics, history of flying, climatology, geomorphology,meteorology and aviation. Kitty also completed a flight ground class and an aircraft mechanics course at Bellingham Vocational Technical Institute. Kitty said one outstanding aspect of the program was that the people she chose to work with are the people that are really in the field. It's like working individually withevery professor, she said. A work study job at Bellingham Airport, Cascade Airlines fueling depot wasalso arranged. "This was very important because I was able to get practical mechanic practice and I gotto meet new pilots from all over and talk over flying experiences, Kitty said. Kitty is the first woman gasattendent at Cascade. She is also a member of the 99ers, an international aviation club for womenpilots.1 She is a reporter for the recently established chapter of the 99ers. There were 99 women aviatorsin the group when Emelia Ehrhart was the first president. The club grants a scholarship each year to awoman pilot for extending her flying capabilities. Kitty is now a private pilot working on her commercialand instrument rating. She hopes to fly small charter flights and acrobatics some day. Kitty feels wherethere's a will there's a way and that is definitely the right attitude. p to San Juan Islands the leave yourcar at the ferry br Anacortes and walk or bike onto fick.

This trick may alsobe used when trying to get off the islands, which in most cases is much more difficult than getting on.You may be 17th in line at Lopez Island waiting-for the ferry to Anacortes which has already picked upcars from San Juan, Orcas, and Shaw, and only has room for 16 more cars when it gets to Lopez. If you don't feel like walking, biking or paying cab fare, you may travel by car. However, there are some thingswhich you should be aware of which will give you a better chance for a more enjoyable vacation. A goodrule of thumb is to think which way the average tourist would be traveling and at what time, and then go at another time and in the opposite direction. To play this game you will need a score card, sometimesreferred to as a ferry schedule. They are usually obtainable from the local chamber of commerce. Toavoid the gaggle of tourists, it is sometimes wise to rise with the sun and be in line for the 7 a.m. ferryfrom Anacortes, or leave late in the evening. Traveling during the week is also much better than on theweekends. It is helpful to note on the ferry schedule when two or more ferries will be departing in a shortperiod of time. If you don't catch the first, it is much easier to wait 20 minutes than two hours. No matterhow artfully you plan your schedule, however, there is always a risk involved. The spring, when there arevery few tourists and many open camp sites, is for some people, a much more convenient time to visitthe ' ' San Juans. Two young men take advantage of the relaxing ferry ride to catch up on some sleep.Photos by Tim Reed ---------- Western Front - 1974 August 8 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Thursday, Aug. 8,1974 lt; arts entertainment Jazz'n it up at the C.T.I.

The play, a biography on poet Edgar Allen Poe, dragged from start tofinish, A morbid mood, contracted by the dimly-lit stage and dreary oratory, overshadowed any attemptat humor. The plot was confusing, displaying Poe, chasing a non-existent love (Lenore) and his wifenever losing her grip or attachment to her rag doll, which ultimately cost her her life. The only lift the'play received was from a narrative trio, who sat in a comical "Meet the Press" position off to the side ofthe main happenings. They sat in observance of Poe's gruesome life, constantly injecting footnotes toliven the pace. They helped. Their musical rendition of "Sugar Titty" while Poe was falling asleep on hishousemother's lap, drew some controlled chuckles. Other characters, Susan Madison as Muddy andDennis Clancy as Usher were irritating and ghoulish, respectively. Wayne Lee, as Detective Dupin,wasn't very convincing as a snoop and his French accent was a bit too fakey.

What's a beefalo? It's a carzy mixed up cow. The beefalo,to be shown at the Northwest Washington Old Fashioned Fair, is 3/8 buffalo, 3/8 Charlais and %Hereford. How's that for some mixed up bull? The beefalo is just one of the hundreds of interestingattractions to be seen at the fair in Lynden, August 13 through 17. Headlining the entertainment for thefair are Loretta Lynn, last year's top Country/Western star, George (Goober) Linsey of Andy Griffith Show fame and Buddy Alan, the son of Buck Owens. Local talent, including the Nooksack Valley Gospel, will back up the headliners. Bill Swinbumson, this year's fair manager discussed the coming event. "Ourprimary purpose is to provide a meeting ground for the local food producers of America," he said, addingthat the entertainment, contests and displays are simply integral units of any well organized fair.Swinbumson praised Pete Van Diest, manager of the fair in past years, He said Van Diest's effortsenabled the fair planners to get a grant from the State Department of Agriculture to be used for this year's fair. Dave Hornsby, a local farmer, philosophized about the nation's yen for nostalgia and the place ofcountry fairs in today's society. He said many fairs and agricultural get togethers have priced themselves out of the business of providing an idea exchange place for farmers and ranchers. 'The cattle andproduce is what it's all about," Hornsby said. "That's the serious end of it. When we forget to make aplace for the farmer or rancher we might as well just call it a circus." Jay Hensley, a former Lyndenresident who comes back from Iowa each year to attend the fair, said fairs in the Midwest are just toocommercial to really be called fairs. "Out here, it's a bunch of farmers and city folks getting together and having a lot of fun and maybe showing off a little, then going back to work for another year." One manhad a different view of today's fairs. He said things were a lot different in the old days. "Why, out in themdays they was a lot of young girls just looking for us young bucks, and they usually found us, too. Notonly that, but for a dollar you could spend all day at the fair and still have enough money left for a littlebottle of near beer." He said he was 82 years old. Swinbumson pointed out the large number of horseshows featured throughout the fair. The general feeling, according to him and local merchants, is thateverybody likes horses and they are, after all, the "mainspring of our agricultural heritage." Fairattendance this year is expected to exceed 100,000. Lynden merchants have co-sponsored an air-conditioned bus to operate as--a shuttle between the fairgrounds, located on the edge of town, and thedowntown shopping center. Activities at the fair begin around noon each day and are finished by 10 p.m. Fountain programmed in cycles A common- summer sound on campus is the alternating explosivegush and silence of Fisher Fountain in Red Square. Students in the vicinity are sometimes startled bythe sound or by an impromptu cold shower as the wind catches the rising spray. Some students havespeculated that the on-off pattern saves energy. Others imagine it is part of an incidious plot to drivethem closer to insanity. The less paranoid suppose it is merely an accident. H. Stuart Litzsinger,director of physical plant maintenance and operations, explained that the fountain was originallyprogrammed that way. The fountain display is cycled to spray higher and lower for artistic effect. ^ Lynden lt;ft.W V W ^ gt;::; V Â® gt; HWASHINGTON (Â£:â€¢ AUG. 13,14,15,16 17 Coldest Beer409 Front Street NORTHWEST WASHINGTON Tfttft The Loretta Show Saturday LYNDEN August 13-14-15-16-17 George "Goober" Lindsey Wednesday Accutron Bulova i Caravel le Quidmecnk EverettZuidmeer's 354-3390 JEWELERS 511 Front Street â€¢ Antennas â€¢Tape Decks â€¢ Rotors â€¢ 8Track Cassettes â€¢All Accessories â€¢Installations SHARP Component Stereo HITACHI Color B/W TV On the Guide at the Lynden Cut-off Your Channel Master Headquarters t Store Hours â€” 9 to 6p.m. Mon. thru Sat. â€¢ CUSTOM ELECTRONICS Phone 354 4951 8191 Guide Meridian â€¢ Lynden ---------- Western Front - 1974 August 8 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Thursday, Aug. 8,1974 opinion editorial 'Serve student' policy isn't followed Rememberall the times you've taken $20 worth of books to sell at the bookstore and you got $3 instead of the $9 or $10 you expected? The Student Co-op Bookstore has a policy of buying back books to be used thefollowing quarter for 50 per cent of the selling price. But bookstore manager George Elliot freely admitted at last week's trustees meeting that "we don't always do that." He cited expenses and losses during ayear as reasons and said if they gave the 50 per cent all the time, they "wouldn't make enough of aprofit," as they are already on a minimum-profit basis. The bookstore operates "for the convenience andbenefit of the college community," according to its charter; and students are given an initial five per centsavings when buying books. But any gain is lost when the student goes to sell back his books. Heshouldn't be penalized for taking a once-a-year class required for his major or a class in a series. But,unless he can stick around another year to sell his books, he is. For example; one student bought a$15 book for a class last fall, offered only once a year but required for his major. At the end of the quarter, if he had sold it back, he would have received approximately $3 from a used book buyer. The amount he received would depend on the going market price of the book, its age and the number on the market. Ifhe waited til the end of this quarter to sell his book, he'd receive about $8.25, or 50 per cent of the priceof the new book, which has risen to $16.50. The book would then be resold by the bookstore for $12.50,or 75 per cent. The only way to get a halfway decent price for a book is to sell it to a friend taking thesame class. This student sold his $15 book to a friend for $10, more than he'd get from the bookstore,yet less than his friend would pay for a used book. Students often run into this problem because thereare a number of classes offered only once a year. Some are a series, such as history 366, 367 and 368. It is impossible to get a good price for a 366 book, for example, because it is obviously not going tooffered the next quarter. Students are also faced with professors who change their textbooks often.Some are considerate of students' financial conditions and stick to the same texts quarter after quarter.And some will place an interesting, but expensive, book on the recommended ipstead of required readinglist. But since there is no restriction on faculty to use a text for a minimum of quarters, some changeoften. Perhaps the solution is to enact such a rule, as have several community colleges in the state.Even a minimum of four or five quarters would save the students money. Professors could also berequired to select their texts earlier in the year. If a better book came out after the deadline, it could beplaced on the recommended list. This way their freedom to choose would not be abridged, and students could sell their books back for more money. The bookstore could still sell the used books at 75 per cent as they do now. It would continue on a minimum profit basis and "serve the students," as Hugh Larkin,bookstore board chairman, has said it should. Students should not be punished for taking classes theyare required to take, at the only time they are offered. By revising a few rules, the policy of "serving thestudents" could be followed. / ^ A W , -fctMEKASHR, THE GOOP Ol_'DKYS-THE" STRIKES OF ' ? 0 ?WMENJ STUDENTS TH0U6WT MO^E ABOUT M012AUTV THAN* KAOKJEY, MJD TMEY WET3EMO^E COWCERMED A B O U T TME END OP A \A/*K TMfcKi TME EKJD OP TME SEMESTER-Power politics will continue) Nixon to reap what he sows Editor, Western Front The political death of RichardM. Nixon is like that tree we called "home base" in our backyard game of hide and seek. We hidl in thebrush waiting for a same moment, then it was a mad dash across the lawn. We anticipated the end ofthe game when we could raise our voices in a jubilant, "olley, olley, ox in free." The vendetta of thosechaotic '60s is being felt by the power elite. Nixon's power politicking came from an intense desire to"get the sonofabithches" who opposed his style of the presidency. If ever there was a condition for aman reaping what he has sown, then Milhaus is ready for harvest. Sadly, the verisimilar seeds whichproduced the Nixon crop are being sown collectively by our Congressional leaders and apatheticcitizenry. If we bring the force of public opinion to bear on wage and price changes and the abuse ofeconomic power then we come to grips with "power politicking" at its source. Until we cultivate thisforesight, the game will continue. Thomas E. Landis Sophomore, Huxley Early release hits setback AS to publish circular SLOW (Student Lowdown on Western) will emerge the first week of fall quarter as yet another information circular at Western. A two-page weekly with a total budget of $2,000, SLOW will be published by the Associated Students to compensate for the "inadequate coverage the Western Fronthas given to student organizations and events," according to Jack Fulk, SLOW interim coordinator. Four thousand copies of each issue will be produced. "Our organizations can't operate," charged Fulk. Oneof the reasons our campus is covered with posters is because they can't get coverage in the Front, hesaid. Through lack of space, perhaps, or not caring or understanding, the Front doesn't fill this need*, hecomplained, "A lot of times now you don't know what is coming out until it's out, even if you request alook at it. They don't check their stats." Fulk hopes SLOW "will be written by the people." "Is theWestern Front a newspaper or what?" he demanded. Most newspapers carry, public notices, community events and take, stands on .important issues. Not the Front, he said. One thing that got this thing going and money allocated is because during last year's election we had no means of getting information out."And an editorial judgment of that nature I find to be virtually criminal," he said. "We hope to let peopleknow that different things exist â€” stuff like the services â€” where they are and what they do," he said. Fulk said SLOW will also let students be aware of new programs being developed like veteran spinnumbers. SLOW should include information that is generated like the book buy-back policy â€” as itexists and what might be better for the student, he added. The other aim of SLOW is to give publicity to upcoming events sponsored by the AS and other campus groups. "We'll also have weird things likehuman interest stories like the flying professor or that some student received a scholarship to gradschool or an award," he said. An action column is another possibility. The project will be operated by apaid student coordinator and volunteer staff. It has been given temporary office space in Viking Union 104. Project Perfect, an early release program for currently incarcerated felons, met a temporary setbackwhen the Department of Social Health S e r v i c e C o m m u n i ty Correctional Department withdrewfunding. The reason behind the withdrawl of funds, according to Sam Leathers of Bellingham TechnicalSchool, is Western and the department's c o m m i t t e e reached agreement on the "hold harmlessclause." This pertains to who has the for possible Buchanan Towers. Leathers said responsibilitydamage to there are several half-way houses in the state, but he thinks this is the first program of thisnature in the United States. The program plans to house six to eight prisoners now held in minimumsecurity jails from Monroe, Purdy and Walla Walla. The felons will have free choice of courses fromWestern and Bellingham Technical School. Each institution will provide counseling for the participants.Leathers said "withholding of the funds by the committee has been very discouraging and hopefully thesituation will correct itself, so right now the program is stalemated."

Marriage is a very serious and sacred rite. It was instituted by our Maker many hundreds of years back and has been a common and natural practice ever since. Of course, there are and always will be a few bachelors and what one calls, "old maids/' which is perfectly legal as long as they are happy that way. Marriage is for keeps. You just don't get married and then find out your husband likes to walk in his sleep or that your wife snores, and becayse of this you want a different, mate. It's being done every day, though. Marriage is fast becoming, what one might call, "a fad." Not enough thought is being given to the'matter, especially by the younger marriageable clan of today. • WAR HAS DONE MUCH: What I'm driving at is the marriage craze of today and of the preceding years. For many months the fad has taken a strong grasp on the young people and has sent many a jeweler home at night as happy as a hound with a fresh cut of meat. But in order to understand it one must be, as it were, of an understanding nature. Now don't get the idea that I'm strictly a misogamisr, because I'm not The war has done much to push it along and the upped wages have brought it to the fore also. But the main cause of this too numerous and short noticed nuptial wave is the inner thoughts of the females, who dread the idea of being without a date these troublesome years. They can't bear to face the future without the gold band on their left hand thot tells this goofy world that they are war wives. Now or never is their slogan as they stalk their men no matter what his position or pockerbook may be. OUTCOME SAD: The general outcome of many of these hurry up deals will be the overcrowded courtrooms, weeping young girls, who after the romantic phase' has passed, find themselves very much alone and mad at themselves and their parents. True, there are many couples who are being married today who have the perfect right to do so, but the majority are the young "jokers" who will find out too late that they were foolish and not in their right minds. when they walked their last mile of single life down the aisle to the altar in front of the minister or magistrate. You will have to show me the case where the young man who has just been married, and is hustled off to the service is really happy about the whole thing. And you will also have to show me the beaming,. blushing bride of a few thin weeks or months, who has to sit at home while her better half sends his love home in a brown envelope along with $b0.00. The usual resuft finds the youthful gent residing in his regulation tent at some camp or station and his sweet bride back home with the folks. 'NOUGH SAID: Now that I Have expatiated on a subject that we talked about in this column last summer and thought we'd pass it on to you. I hope we will get you to thinking more about the subject and would (Continued on Page Four) Presenting Ten Dream Girls of WWC Campus From a group of twenty candidates, these pretty girls were selected Wednesday in assembly by three local judges as being the most photogenic ten in the race for the annual (Publications Prom Princesses: Reading from .left to right the girls are: Joan Martinson, Edmonds; Shirley Hartman, Bellingham; Mar-jorie Sinnett, Seattle; Pat Gardiner, Bellingham; Glennis.

A date bureaeu has been established for all those girls who desire a date for PebruarJP"24, the night of the Prom. Plans have been made and men from Whidby Island will come from the base in special buses to Edens Hall, where the men will be matched with their blind dates according to height. Chief Rollie Ellis, recreational supervisor, at Ault Field, is co-operating to make this arrangement possible. Because definite plans, must be made to ensure this part of the Prom as a success, the final day of signing will be next Thursday. No names will be taken after that date. The sign-up slip is in the co-op and girls may sign with Audreye Miller every day between noon and 4 p. m. Chaplain Soskin Tolerance in All "Truth is our common heritage— it belongs to all of us." Thus, Chaplain Soskin, Chautauqua, USN., addressed the students of WWC in an assembly, Tuesday, January 30, with "Our Common Heritage' as his topic. "I try to impress on all students that men like me are in uniform for them," he said. The lieutenant emphasized the thought that student contribution to the war effort begins here in these college halls. Chaplain Soskjin based his address on the equality of men, through illustrations of racial supremacy in totalitarian nations. "America has always been the hope of the world—its freedom, jus- ' tice and equality envied. The peoples of the world look towards FLASH!! Pictures of the ten Prom Princesses will be taken today and tomorrow at Keith Studios. These, pictures are the drape portraits that are sent to Whidby Island for the final judging. Appointment hours are posted on the bulletin board, and the princesses are asked to be prompt. The pictures will be sent to the Naval Air Station February 9. Any changes or questions should be referred to either Lucille Bovee or Charlotte Samples immediately. Thirty-five Coeds Invited to Whidby Thirty-five girls of WWC will be guests at the, formal Valentine dance to be held at Whidby Island on February 14. Girls who wished to attend the dance signed up this week to be eligible to make the trip. Chief Rollie Ellis, head of the (Continued on Page Two) Urges Recital People America' with hope and security," he added. Continuing in his talk, he emphasized that the American experiment is living together in brotherhood— working together in justice; it is the American.way of life. He went on to say that we must hold fast to it—our common heritage. Honoring one of his best friends, he concluded the address with a poem. Chaplain Soskin was born in Cleveland, Ohio, educated in Cin-cinatti and had his own congre-r gation in Fort Worth, Texas, before entering the service. In February, the National Brotherhood month, the well-known orator is going to Portland, Oregon, for the national conference of Christians and Jews. Publications People Receive Invitation To invite high school publications members and other people throughout the county who work with publications was the purpose of an all day trip which was taken by Prom representatives on last Wednesday. Those making the trip were Lucille Bovee, Daisie Ann Earling, Bettye Busha, Pitt White, and Dick Brunswig. gt;• This group visited high schools at peming, Sumas, Lynden, Fern-dale, Blaine and Bellingham, to issue a personal invitation to students, their advisers and the principals and superintendents of the schools. The newspaper publishers of these towns also were invited and given an invitation to be among the patrons and patronsses for the Publicaitdns Prom. Former Registrar Back at WWC Lieutenant Merl F. Kuder has been retired to inactive status. He has been officially separated from naval duties. He will resume his duties at WWC and will be occupying the offices in room 116 for the present. Dr. Kuder was commissioned in November, 1942, and was with the procurement office of the United States Navy in New Orleans, Dallas, Texas; and Seattle. ~ Until his illness about three months ago, he was at the United States Naval Training Center at Miami, Florida. Returned service men are invited to take any of their problems to him. Coronation on Air To be broadcast over KVOS at 10:30 o'clock on the night of Saturday, February 24, is the corona? tion of the WWC Publications Prom queen. A portion of the dance and an on-the-scene report of the coronation will be described by two KVOS announcers, Bill Murray and Haines Fay. Personality Notes Present Pretty gt; Prom Princesses Ten Lovely Prom Princesses Vie For Honor of Being "The" Prom Princess of 1945 Standing in the spotlight of the year we have ten pretty princesses . who will reign over our Sixth Annual Publications Prom on February 24. Each of these girls, in addition to being a princess, is trying for the title of Prom Princess of 1945. Each .girl is worthy of filling the spotlight, but only one will be chosen. We present them to you today in brief personality sketches. Janet Brunswig, the tall stately miss who measures 5' 9%", is a proud product of Bellingham; Blonde hair and blue eyes make up her outstanding qualities. Skiing seems to take up most of her spare time, that is,, when she has any to spare from her school activities. Harriett Clow, the dark eyed beauty from Vancouver, is another tall, stately girl. Besides being AWS prexy, she's busy student teaching, or busy sewing something out of this world. She can be seen with the young man from Mount Vernon at almost every affair. Elaine Dahlgren, a little gal who hails from Mount Vernon, has the sweet combination of brown hair, brown eyes, and measures 5*2". Music, drama, and public speaking are her main interests. Elaine is active in WRA, Alkisiah, ACE, and Klipsun work. She is planning on being a teacher. Irene Eiford, peppy young frosh, with sparkling hazel eyes and shiny brown hair, is indeed a rare beauty. Active in AWS, she also loves to dance and swim. She is kinda waiting for a certain young man in the Army Air corp. Lucky boy!! Pat Gardiner is 5*3" with striking brown hair, and flashing, brown eyes. This petite little miss has charge of the dancing in the Winter Show. She is social chairman of AWS and recently was initiated into Valkyrie. Shirley Hartman, another Bellingham product, measures 5' 2", of sparkling vitality. Blue eyes offset her shiny brown locks, which make her the ideal girl. Sports are Shirley's favorite hobbies, with skiing and swimming at the top of her list. . Joan Martinson, from Edmonds, is also a frosh 5' 2%" tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. Active in WRA, she also loves to ski and to skate. Her main ambition is to be an air stewardess. Betty Peaster, that gal from down Texas way, is a true example of the Southern beauties. Active in WRA, she loves to skate and her only dislike of Bellingham is that there is no rink here in town. This brown haired, hazel eyed beauty wants to be an air stewardess, too. Mar jorie Sinnett, brown hair, blue-eyed senior from Seattle, favorite hobby is collecting and reading books. Short and sweet but oh so active. When she's not busy with ., AWS Commission,. she's probably working hard as ACE Publicity chairman. If you can't find her she might be taking the minutes of the Junior-Senior class, for they voted this peppy little girl their secretary. Just 5'2" of real business. Glennis Sundberg, president of • ACE, has taffy color hair, with big blue eyes to complete the picture., She's vice-president of the Student Body, and is recording secretary of Interclub Council. This classy little lassie was once described as the kind to wear orchids, she sure is. Her hobby is NOT to study, can't-say I blame her. ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 February 2 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, February 2, 1945 lt;H'*W'*@%**** i f Z ° f f S t e a m " WHO??

To Jettie McLane, who filled in at the last moment, and did one of the best jobs we've seen done for a game, we extend our heartiest thanks and congratulations. CONGRATS, PRINCESSES In the line of congratulations, we wish to extend them to the ten lovely girls who bear the title of Publications Prom Princesses for 1945. We of the publications are proud to have these girls reign over our Prom, and we know they will have a happy reign on the big night. Currie Writes First Service Letter The mqpt vivid recollection I have of my training as an aviation cadet is the hazing administered so efficiently by upper-classmen. They could do no physical violence to the "dodos," as they affectionately called the under-classmen, but they could command them to do the most exasperating things. "Hit a brace!" was the order given continually to the dodos. The brace is an exaggerated position of attention in which the body is so tense that it quivers and the face turns red. The ultimate In braces is the "purple brace." It takes a good man to acquire a purple hue. When held in brace too long, men have fainted. Upper-classmen made dodos perform this extreme attention at the slightest whim. Hazing even took place at the dinner table. A dodo was required to sit at attention on the very edge of his chair. His eyes were focused but it can't go on forever. DORM GIRL— This question about the differ-, ence between dorm girls and town girls is coming up quite frequently lately. So I wish to show you the view of a dorm girl on this point. Town girls here at school all have their friends from high school days. That is only natural. On the other hand, practically all theMorm girls know no one at all when they first come to WWC. We have to look around and start making friends from scratch. The town girls already have their friends, but do they want it to be a closed corporation? It seems to me that this is the whole difficulty. Pleasant, yes; and everyone is nice in classes, but beyond that it seldom goes. The two groups don't mix enough in just friendly fun. This fact that the town girls already have their friends may explain why the dorm girls also travel only jvith the girls from Edens. It is true that we have different interests, different activities, and different hours, but I sincerely believe that dorm girls and town girls should be able to get together on a few recreational activities. Some do, and they are wonderful examples let's see more of it! No, we dorm girls do not think we are superior, as someone once suggested. It just isn't so! We're willing to go half way how about it? EDITOR'S NOTE: Next week we will print an article on the other side of this question, presenting the town girls' side of the picture. We •believe this matter is important enough to warrant publication of any constructive contributions any student would like to make. BEHIND THE COLUMNS ..... Again we greet you from behind the columns. Yes, things have been popping around here in Edens Hall, and many things are going to POP! This coming Sunday, the girls are opening the doors wide to all servicemen hoping everyone has a wonderful time. Just to be a little bit different, Marilyn Shelton and Marilyn Boor-as are planning to gain some weight up to the 145 mark. We'll believe it when we see it. Three of the Edenites have been suffering from various ailments. Merrie Virginia Eggers and Betty Herrwere shipped home to recuperate. ' Ann Easterbrooks looked mighty green for a while, but is back on the job again. You say it was something you ate, girls????? Last weekend Zosia Nowogroski visited her mother who was home on furlough. How does it feel to have a WAC "mom," Zosia???? "Oh, I have a code in my node!" explains Jo-"ever sniffling" Elwell. I t seems Jo keeps dodging the nurse on his plate and could not wander. He also had to eat a "square meal." The "air raid" was another favorite device of the upper-classmen. When one entered a dodo barracks and shouted, "Air raid!" all dodos ripped apart their neatly made beds and crawled inside the mattress covers. When the all clear signal was given, they emerged and painstakingly remade their beds. . There were many other ways, too numerous to mention, of making life a bit more unpleasant for the under-classmen. Hazing, as a whole, may seem childish and unnecessary, hut it was amazingly effective in changing wild, headstrong boys into -well-disciplined soldiers. To keep himself -from rebelling, a dodo was often inclined to say, "Just wait until I'm an upper-classman."

NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK TO THE OLD GRIND, Drop in for a Coke Sometime soon THE Student's Co-Op ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 February 2 - Page 3 ---------- The BENCH WARMER By CLAREE MARSHALL Tomorrow night the Vikings meet the strong Sand Point Navy outfit from Seattle in a headline basketball attraction, and from all indications it will be the final home game this season for the blue and white cagers. Unless another game is scheduled in the very near future, basketball on the hilltop court is over for the year. As one looks back on the 1944-45 season, it shows few Viking victories, but imbedded in many people's memories are a few thrilling highlights of the past year. Number one was the UBC-Viking game, in which the Vitamin kids outran the Canadians to gain a 60-56 verdict before a large Homecoming crowd. Secondly, the thrilling one point win (58-57) over the Whidby Island Hi-Flyers. Third, when the Viks -led the Oregon Webfeet all the way only to lose out in the dying moments of the game. Fourth and last was the Cheney series, in which the Vikings battled the high-powered Savages to a standstill for an even break in their two game set. Some credit must also go to the players, who, even in defeat, gave all they had and never quit trying. To these boys, Roy Wark, Bob Pavlicek, Gene Sivertson, Chad Johnson, Jack Graham, Jim Gilday, Haines Fay, Paul Foster, and the rest of the squad, we say "Good luck!" ~ EWC 55 WWC 59 In a game replete with all the thrills, a vaunted Cheney aggregation went down to defeat at the hands of the "never say die" Viking quintet. It was an uphill battle all the way, but the Viks finally made it and went on to win in overtime. To pick out one individual as a star would be impossible, as every man on the club had a hand in the victory; EWC 53 WWC 44 This game was a copy of the one Friday night, only with the Savages winning an uphill battle. At first it looked as if the blue and white cagers were going to repeat their upset win of the night before, but the Easterners, led by Jack Per-rault and Jack Roffler, would no't be denied and surged on to win. The win came only after beating back a strong Viking challenge in the dying moments of the game. HEBE AND THERE Cheney's Jack Perrault, hailed as one of the best basketball players in the Northwest, proved it to one and all Saturday night with a startling performance. Red-headed Jack does everything well, and but for him the Viks would have won two .Bob Pavlicek did a good job checking Easterns human comet. Jack (Rabbit) Roffler. He is by far the fastest thing on two feet we've seen this year .Chad Johnson continues to play sparkling ball and for scoring you can't beat Western's Roy Wark and Gene Sivertson, who made 32 and 31 points respectively, in the two games. Oregon State looks like the team to beat in the Northern Division cage race after Washington's disastrous road trip, on which the Huskies lost four straight Jack Nichols, who played at Washington last season, is the star center of the strong USC Trojans. The Trojans are currently tied for the Southern Division cage lead with UCLA when Iowa lost to Illinois, 43 to 42, last week, it was the first defeat Vikings Divide Cheney Duel With a jam-packed gymnasium last Friday and Saturday nights, WWC fans saw the Vikings win and lose one, in the first of a scheduled home and home series. In Friday night's contest, the Viks went on from a 49-49 overtime to down the determined Savages 59-55. But the tables were turned the following evening, when Jack "Rabbit" Roffler and "Dead-Eye" Perrault led the EWC boys to a 53-44 triumph, to even the score.

Donelda Johnson and Beverly Morgan were chosen to represent WRA at the nominating convention. Crystal Ackerman supported the two nominees with a short speech in the special assembly held last Wednesday. in ten games for the number one team of the country.;. Army continued along its unbeaten path with a 60 to 51 win over the Coast Guard company. It was the Cadet's twenty-second straight win' HATS OFF On behalf of the student body of WWCE, we take time out to pay tribute to one Cale Campbell, sports editor of the Collegian and tireless , publicity manager or Lapp's Vik» ings. Cale, who had an endless amount of school spirit, leaves the college on the hill to take up his new duties as supervisor of the recreation center athletics in the city of Bremerton. His familiar figure will be greatly missed around the campus, but to you, Cale, we wish all the success in the world. Viks Meet Sand Point in Final Home Game; Highly Rated Johnson In Form Vitamin Kids Halt RCAF 4 In a thrilling encounter, played before a large crowd in Victoria, B. 'C, the WWC Vikings defeated the Pat Bay R. C. A. F. team, 42 to 39. The highly favored Fliers went into a momentary lead at the outset, only to have the Viks climb back on even terms later in the half. From then on the lead changed hands time and again, with the halftime score favoring the Vikings. Wark led the blue and white cagers with 16 points while Baker led Pat Bay with 20 counters. Burklund Primed Chad Johnson, ball hawking forward of . the Vikings, will be counfed on heavily to carry part of the burden in Saturday night's contest when the Vikings play their final home game. Viks Please Canadians Along with their victory over the Pat Bay Gremlins last Wednesday evening, the Vikings also struck a keynote with the Canadian fans. Praise was showered upon Coach Lappenbusch and his team for their display of sportsmanship. Time and again throughout the game the Viks drew the plaudits of the crowd for their high morale and endless driving tactics. Dale Burklund, hard driving sophomore, will be slated for a defensive role in tomorrow night's game with the strong Naval Air five from Sand Point. Strong Navy Quintet to Show Here Saturday; Viks Keyed In what may be the last home game of the season for the blue and white hoopsters, the WWC Vikings tangle with a strong Sand Point Nevy five from Seattle at eight p. m. tomorrow night on the local floor. The visiting navy men have a formidable outfit, studded with former college and high school stars. They are also in fourth place in the Northwest Servicemen's League and are rated as one of the best teams in the circuit. Included on their roster are such men as Giger, of Westminster College; Horn, of Windsor High; Banash, formerly of the Great Lakes five; Eyavold, of Gonzaga U.; and Hess, of Lebanon U. The team is coached by C. E. Arnold, who hails from Ohio State University, and has as a first line replacement J. Rudick, a former star at Perm State. With such a fine array of talent, the Navalairs are going to be a tough foe for the Viks to whip. Meanwhile, the Vikings have been polishing up their attack to try and make the final home game a winning one. Possibly the same five which gave Eastern Washington such a battle last week will be on the firing Inie when the Vitamin kids take the floor Saturday night. ,This will mean Bob Pavlicek and Chad Johnson at the forward slots. Gene Sivertson in the pivot position, and Roy Wark and Jack Graham in the back court. This will be the second game of the week for the Viks, who met the Pat Bay Gremlins of Victoria, B.

I have never written this column before ("that's clear", I hear you sneer), and probably never will again, so this is undoubtedly the best Normalite I'll ever write. In spite of my inherent modesty I can't help feeling rather important writing a feature like this—do you know that no less a person than Arthur Brisbane gets paid a fabulous sum for a column in the same spot as this one in the Seattle P.-I. and elsewhere? Unfortunately or otherwise, as the case may be, I missed out on the Viking week-end party of which you might read a formal account else where in these pages. After hearing the many and somewhat conflicting accounts of this affair I am not, surprisingly enough, exactly bowed down with grief that I didn't attend. I believe somewhat in the doctrine of self-denial and so I have always denied myself the pleasure of Viking week-end parties. There are some pleasures in life that a person must learn to forego. I have also figured that I saved $1.50 but something is wrong here for try as I might, I cannot find this money anywhere and I begin to think that I never had it. And now for the most important part of this column. Something must be done about this business, and done right away! This is the time for direct, forceful action! Do you realize that two houseflies in May will multiply by August to a tremendous figure something like this: 346,000,000,000,000,000 (this might not be absolutely accurate)? So all you forward-looking, right-thinking people get out your fly-swatters and kill those "two flies. The time for talking about it is over! ACT! And ACT NOW!! Phil Campbell, our genial sports-writer, in a burst of optimism the other day, asked me to write something for the sports page. I refused to do it. So long as the nefarious, obnoxious tendency goes on to emphasize major sports over minor sports (or is it the other way around?) I decline to be a partner to any such disgraceful proceeding. However, I hope to see the day when major sports will be given preference over minor sports (or vice versa?), and the sports page once more will become a dignified, balanced feature, worthy of comparison to the other parts of the paper. Teacher Gives i Assembly Talk On Constitution Miller Presents Layman's Point Of View in Memorial Day Address Bill of Rights Stressed College and High School Youth's Patriotism Defended "We are our own masters in control of the machinery and processes of intelligent and effective expression of our mature social will. Under these conditions, where violence begins, there liberty and Democracy end. The American spirit calls for the settling of disputed questions not by the sword, but by the ballot", stated Dr. Irving E. Miller, Normal instructor, last Tuesday in his Memorial day assembly address laudatory of the United States Constitution. In stressing the significance of the Bill of Rights, Dr. Miller expressed his view that there is more hope for us in the American system in spite of faults that exist, than in any other theory. There is flexibility enough for progress and an open pathway for the assertion of "every legitimate right of the people. In defense of college youth's patriotism the speaker commented, "I am persuaded that the much criticized college and high school youth of our day love their country with just as burning an intensity as the youth of any preceding age". o Four Students Visit Victoria Last Week Gossip Column Takes Dirty Digs Frenchy Version Not Taken So Keenly by Those Interviewed; Wait Till They £ee This Week The value of a gossip column on the Northwest Viking has for some time been a bone of contention among members of the staff. The editors decided to take a census of student opinion on the matter and settle the fight once and for all. Here are some of the answers: ANONA WALDRON: I certainly don't like it when it is written in French. MARIAN PETERSON: I think Keyhole might be altered for the better. It might be changed to a sort of personality column where items of interest about different students could be printed. TOM KEEN: Keyhole is OK as long as they leave out the French and use names instead of blanks. 11 don't think, however, that the writer should use it as a means of taking cracks at his enemies. GRACE HUGHES: It is interesting. In fact, it is the very first thing one looks for in the paper. BILL BOSTROM: The paper could get along very well without Keyhole. HELEN McKENZIE: If well written, Keyhole can add much to the interest of the paper. LOIS WEEKS: I believe the space devoted to Keyhole could be used to a much better advantage. ELMER LADE: I have always been an ardent admirer of Keyhole There is about it an element of childishness -that induces wistful recollections of the newspaper the eighth grade published while I was attending grammar school. Canadian Minister of Education o Deliver Graduation Address At Thirty-sixth Commencement T lt; Recital Series Ends In Week Men Select Orloff As Club President For Coming Year Cabinet for 1935-36 Is Completed By Election of Taylor, Ullin And Starlund Last Friday night a group of 12 Sea Scouts embarked on the King Thor for a cruise to Victoria, where they spent the week-end. Among the twelve that went on the trip were four Normal boys: Joe Thomas, Henry Reasoner, Roy Johnson, and Gene Rochbacker. While in Victoria, they spent most of their time on sight-seeing excursions. They went to see the Butchart Gardens, which are very beautiful at this time of year. They also visited the obeservatory and inspected the various telescopes. After cruising around in the different harbors near Victoria they left for Bellingham, arriving here late Sunday evening. Mon Orloff was elected president of the Men's club last Friday when balloting was held during a meeting which took the place of the regular assembly program. Other officers who will serve next year are: vice-president, Bill Taylor; secretary-treasurer, Chet Ullin; Inter-club council representative, Emil Starlund. After a reading of the Men's club charter, a discussion was held which ended in the constitution being voted out and replaced by a new one. The old one dealt principally with the organization of the men's houses. The new constitution eliminates much of this, making the Men's club responsible for at least one dance a quarter, and dealing with similar social affairs. As a part of the program Cliff Johnson, assistant dancing instructor, spoke on "Ethics", advising the men on correct ballroom etiquette. The retiring officers of the Men's club are: president, Bill Frender; vice-president, Roger Mullen; secretary- treasurer, Oscar Starlund; Inter- club c o u n c i l representative. Clark McAllister.

Plans for the banquet are being arranged by Miss Gragg. o Elementary School Gives Art Exhibit Students of Strange Scheduled to ' Appear on Monday Evening Closing the series of six spring recitals by the students of Edith R. Strange, of the Music department at Normal, will be one for junior and intermediate students next Saturday afternoon at 3:00 in the Leopold hotel and one for the advanced students next Monday evening at 8:00 also in the Leopold. Students from the Campus Elementary school that will appear in the junior and intermediate recital are: Jean Burnet, Carolyn Eber-hart, Clarimonde Hicks, Frances Lar-rabee, Joan Slater^ Betty Slater, Cherye Smith, Ruth Thomas, Martha Thorsland, and Gloria Hillyard. Christine Albers, Mary Rees Benson, Margaret Foster, Ruth Kirk, and Edna Pearson, all students at Normal, will appear in the recital for advanced students Monday.

I am an old Keyhole fan and the way this feature has been handled recently has discouraged me tremendously. One week it comes out with blanks instead of names. Next week it is written in French. If this keeps up perhaps the outraged students will turn in indignation and even start reading the editorials, bookreviews, and other filler material. After all, I like to read something I can understand in the Keyhole even if it's only about Pat Allan. * * * * * Remember a few months ago when everyone was becoming excited over a proposal called the "Senior Honor Court"? I was sorry that this subject died, for it was lots of fun to ^engage in a furious controversy over it and, what is more, W club initiates shivered in their skins when chairman Jim McCleery announced the procedure for formal club initiations. The shivering became much worse when they were tossed into the icy waters of Bellingham bay, but as they were fished out, they were warmed up by the able hands and sticks of the riot squad with Art Bagley officiating. After this, they were sent into the tunnel with orders to become human dams. They were unable to stop the rush of the waters so they were lifted out of the water by the paddle squad. The new members are: Sheldon Stutz, Chet Dombroski, Don Ken-oyer, Van Sargent, Bill Taylor, Wil-lard McKenzie, Louie Severens, Cliff Johnson, Ladd Shangle, Pat Jacob-sen, Jerry Jacobsen, Oscar Starlund, and Mon Orloff. After the initiation the club elected officers for next year. Those elected are: president, Bill Frender; vice-president, Don Holder; secretary, Oscar Starlund; and ICC representative, Sheldon Stutz.

PHYLLIS ROBINSON Society Editor MARGARET MORSE Exchange Editor HELEN HOSTETTER Staff Artist BEVERLY HOLIDAY - Staff Artist Kids, Old Ickey Kibibob Run Kids, Run Kids, Run And They Really Do Cheer Us Up! Two more weeks and then this quarter is all washed up (deleting the grades since they shouldn't count). Summer school, however, is on the calendar in black letters. The world's best physicians double the doses occasionally, but that is slight in comparison to having not even one satisfying rainy day of vacation before another quarter begins. However it is amazing—the degree to which the technique of consoling has been firmly imbedded in the extremely plastic minds of undergraduates at this institution. Here are a few of the most encouraging comments offered: "You're gong to summer school? How grand. Think of me while I'm touring the Orient. Write •letters real often, letting me know what everyone's doing, but of course I'll be too busy to do much writing." "Yes, I'm going. O, no, only the first six weeks. All quarter for you? How will you stand it? It would positively kill me off." "Summer school? Tough. I'd sorta planned on asking you to hike the Cariboo trail with me. I'll let you see a picture of the fish and deer we bag." Then the old proverb, "Waste not thy hour", hits the inward eye. Surely there will be some recreation to partake of between tests. Perhaps it won't be so bad after all. In fact the Victoria trip, the Mount Baker hike, organized baseball, tennis, etc. More fun. Say, don't you wish you lived here? Arabs were running to and fro. Hindus were running to and fro. Abyssinians were running tq and fro. I ran my fingers through my long white whiskers and gazed into the tropical sky. A full ten yaars had passed since I had been graduated from Normal and a great longing had seized me. I wanted to know how my classmates had fared. I knew of a fakir who had a crystal ball in which people could see their friends, past, present, or future so I lost no time in going to his shop. I could hardly believe my eyes—there on a pillow sat Roger Mullen and around the shop were cobras, incense, and Persian rugs. He uttered not a word, but pointed to the crystal ball. Ransom Convis was selling hot dogs at a stand at Coney island. Next we see Vic Dickinson going from door to door with a suitcase of Fuller Brushes (paid adv.) under his arm. Betty Hunt is standing on a soap box on some crowded street corner—the crowd is packed tight around her. Ella Cook is working in the five and ten. The next scene is quite dim. It shows Oscar Johnson. He is preaching in a Chinese church. Ossie Hall and Ted Abner—that inseparable pan-are working on a big dairy farm—shoveling. Clyde Wheeler and Art Bagley are going down the street with a kit of tools under his arm. They are going to fix a leak in a steam pipe. We see a sign over a door. It reads Francis Fisher, hand laundry. Marian Looney and Gen Strain are dressed in furs —a penguin or two are around. Johnnie Bromley is a pro on some golf course. Next we see a uniform. It is Carl Lowe. He has run away and Joined the foreign legion. The crystal grows darker. Next we see two thugs working in front of a safe. They are Pat Allan and Bob Hartley, while on the outside pounding the pavement is a flat foot—he is Vene Fisher. The scenes fade from the crystal and Mullen, the fakir, bides me leave. Scion Thrown Out Of Court Pm/liaioiis Procrastination Frat Board Walk From the Spartan Daily of May 15, from the San Jose State college, California, comes news of a limerick contest. The competition was open to all students. One line was given and the rest had to come from the brains (maybe we'd better say heads) of the participants. Can't find what compensation is due the winners, but this sounds interesting: - "The outcome of the limerick judging in this week's witest brought to light enough high place winners to fu\iish enough vice-presidents for a large bank. "So the editors had to resort to a different way of announcing which of the entrants could juggle rhymes and ideas best. They are listed without place mention, but in the relative order of superiority". (Play safe, eh?) One of the first.place winners was: DIALECTICAL TRI-LIMERICK OF THE TRANSCENDENTAL TRAPEZE 1.

In Annual Cinder Meet At Ellensburg Kenoyer Makes Record Holder jScores Thirteen Points To Be High Scorer With a total of 63 points, Cheney Normal overwhelmed' Bellingham and Ellensburg in the annual trinomial meet, held at Ellensburg on May 25. Bellingham placed second with 36% points while Ellensburg trailed with 31%. Don Holder, of Bellingham, collected 13 points to be high man for the meet. Holder had firsts in the 120 high hurdles and broad jump, and second in the high jump. An Ellensburg man, Holl, was credited with second with 11 points. Kenoyer Sets Record The outstanding race of the meet was the 800 yard run in which Don Kenoyer, Viking roller, set a new record time of 2:01, clipping .7 of a second from the old mark held by Egan, of Bellingham. The meet was held on the Ellensburg old race track and a thick layer of dust made the track exceedingly slow. According to Coach Sam Carver, Kenoyer would have lowered the record to 1:58 if the conditions had been ideal. Two other tri-normal records were broken, Hall, of Ellensburg, leaping six feet even in the high jump to break the old record by one inch, while Walters, Cheney hurdler, stepped the low hurdles in the fast time of 24:8. Taylor Loses Mile Robinson, of Ellensburg, pulled the biggest upset of the day by coming in ahead of Bill Taylor, Viking ace, in the mile run. Taylor has a much better time than the tri-normal winner turned ir,;but was sick before the race star/ JL Despite his illness, Taylor ga.e one of the gamest exhibitions ever seen in a track meet. The entire Carver squad placed in at least one event with Holder and Johnsen placing in three. Holder broke a tie between Ellensburg and the Vikings by taking the broad jump from Byersdorf, his Cheney rival. Next year's tri-normal will.be held in Bellingham.

The Ellensburg men came out with a first in the doubles and also a win in the first singles. Denslow, Wildcat captain, won the first singles from Belling-ham's Ladd Shangle. Shangle won the first set easily and only gave Denslow 2 games. Denslow then came back to defeat Shangle in the following two sets by scores of 6-1 and 6-2. Starlund and Shangle won from the Cheney doubles team but lost to Denslow and Bonney in straight sets. Roger Mullen was the only winner for Bellingham in the tri-normal and thus gave the Vikings a second place in the squad averages. Mullen played two matches, the first being with Jose of Ellensburg. He easily defeated Jose and continued his stride to take Miller of Cheney to the Norsemen's camp. Coach Carver said that he was well satisfied with the tennis season although it was not as successful as the previous seasons. o son, C; Colwell, E.

The fact of the matter was that anyone who didn't attend the meet will never know how lucky the Vikings were to place second. Advanced dope gave Ellensburg only 19 points, leaving Bellingham and Cheney to fight over the remaining 112, but what a disappointment! It wasn't until the last event that Coach Carver's blood pressure went back to normal, when Don Holder came through with a leap to beat Beyersdorf in the broad jump and ring up the needed points for second place after trailing all through the meet. Nicholson Has Dark Horse As in other sports, anything can happen in track, and it sure took place last Saturday. .If you don't believe in dark horses just ask Bill Taylor. He was favored, without a doubt to win the mile. Having run a splendid race the previous week-end 'against Cheney in the good time of 4:35, Bill had no idea that Robertson, Ellensburg's colored flash, would give him a race. Running on a loose dirt track, three laps to the mile, the colored marvel came blazing up the home stretch ahead of Taylor with all the characteristics of his Ethiopian brothers, Owens and Metcalfe, who are dominating all existing performances of the track world. Bill almost, lapped the track with him at the CPS meet three weeks ago, so his defeat came as a shock to all. Don Kenoyer broke the only record for the Norsemen and proved his case as a fine runner by coming through with a beautiful, tireless sprint to nose out Bowers in the 880, after they had alternated the pace-setting throughout the race. To Don Holder we dedicate the honor of being the tri-normal's most-valuable track man for the last two years. He has managed to be high point winner two years in a row and all through this season he has scored a quarter of the total points made by Bellingham. Don's pet extent is the high hurdles and he would rather win a sprint to nose out Bowers in the 880, hurdle race than miss a meal at Bartons'. High and broad jumping is only his side-line, but he does a nifty job of jumping three inches higher than his head and broad jumping close to twenty-two feet. Vikings Need Reinforcements This year's track team has been a rather crippled affair with only about ten men on the squad capable of scoring in meets. For the first time in years Coach Carver was unable to collect fourteen men to compose the tri-normal squad. In order to win a track meet a team must have at least two fairly good men in most events. A team with second high and third place men can score four points to the five for a first place. Such was the case last Saturday. Cheney had a well balanced squad and managed to get seconds and thirds whenever they couldn't take a first and had the advantage over the crippled Ellensburg and Bellingham squads. Normal Racqueteers Meet Huskies Again Tomorrow Afternoon As a windup to the spring sport program, the Viking racquet squad faces the University Prosh tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 on the local courts. Several weeks ago the Norsemen took a bad beating from the yearlings at Seattle, but this time expect to have a better chance on the concrete courts. Crapo will probably lead off for the visitors followed by Murphy, Johnstone, Knappenberger and Cahen. For Bellingham Shangle will be in the number one spot as usual with Starlund, Mullen, Joly and Orloff following in the order named. Starlund was the only member of the squad to win his match in the previous contest. Four of the team members have already won their sweaters. Shangle, Mullen, Starlund and Joly; Orloff being the player who has not cinched his. O'Malley Scores High First Round Score in College Archery Meet Theresa O'Malley scored the highest number of individual points in the first round of the inter-college archery meet played Monday on Waldo field. The other three girls participating in the meet are: Myrtle Mills, Margaret Carmichael, and Beth Moore. The girls shot 24 arrows each at the distances of 30, 40, and 50 feet from the target. Results of the first round will be received from Chico State college in California, sometime next week. Normal students that have qualified as senior members of the Red Cross life saving service are: Lois Weeks, Thelma Finley, Gwen Sim mons and Ruth Kulle. All were pupils of Mrs. Jessie Carver, swimming instructor at the YWCA.

Previously there has been no special recogni tion for this positioa The board made the decision that any position entailing so much time and effort should have some remuneration. It was voted that $10 be paid the editor, at the discretion of the Board of Control, after the book's appearance. At the suggestion of the Faculty Committee on Student affairs, reported President Gordon Millikan, the Men's club, at its recent meeting, redrafted its constitution. Mil-ikan stated that it was greatly simplified, designating that the purpose of the Men's club shall be, first, to promote goodwill among men students, and secondly, to sponsor one program dance a quarter. Votes of Thanks Given Marie deGallier suggested that the Board give a vote of thanks to Mrs. S. E.

Leaving the First Lutheran church at 5:00, the cars drove to the beach where supper was served. After the meal, games arid a bonfire completed the evening. The committee in charge of the picnic consisted of: Rev. Lundblad, Catherine Selander, Mildred Larson, Lief Ellingson, and Lucille Lee. Swimming was almost out of the question since there was no tide, but a few braves ventured out on the tide-flats. Lade and Jones Write Best Copy for May 24 Harlan Jones with his sports headline, and Elmer Lade with Nor-malite won high honors last week in the weekly journalistic competition, sponsored by the Northwest Viking. The winners are selected each week by Julius Dornblut Jr., copy editor of the Viking. Stories are judged by their adherence to rules of the'style book and general superiority. Other high place winners have been Margaret Thon, Mel-vin Munson, and Arne Johnsen. The Alkisiah club held its annual spring quarter picnic at the Rocks last Monday evening, May 27. About 16 members and several members of the faculty attended. Cath-rine Hurby, ex-president of the club, said that all that were present had a gaod time. After enjoying a picnic lunch, the evening was spent in toasting marsh-mallows over the campfire and singing popular songs. In appreciation of her work with the club, the members presented a gift to Miss Janet Matthews, their adviser. The newly elected officers will not take office until next quarter, when they will be duly installed. —o Singers Give Program Of Old Russian Songs The Normal School chorus, and the Singers club of Bellingham, with Nils Boson as director, presented a program made up entirely of Russian music, under the title of "A Scene from Russia," this morning in assembly.

The program was presented at the Rotary convention in Bellingham last week.

We should be thankful.not to have to worry about forest fires in this section at this time of year. Whatever "the shortcomings of our state, fire weather around the first of November isn't one of them. Talk of fires recalls the time when a farm Well in Massachusetts went dry, and fighters fell back on kegs of fermenting cider. Later came the ordeal of bringing the firemen under control. COUNT OF THE WILD Wild animals in Uncle Sam's 158 national forests are increasing rapidly, the forest service tells us in its annual "census report.".. There are 1,742,000 antelope, bear, deer, elk, moose, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep, compared to 1,493,000 a year ago. We like to hear that. But the Forest Service would make a big hit with its public if it would tell us more about how a wild animal census is taken. For instance, just how does one of the enumerators go about counting the grizzly bears? Despite the fondness of some grizzlies for tourist's candy, the job of enumerating the big bruins might present difficulties. Does the census taker call at the home cave and ask Mrs. Bear whether the old man is native born or naturalized^ and how many cubs the family has raised? Does he ask the lady bear's age? - PITIFUL An Italian woman, Mrs. Virginia Venturoli, recently arrived in this country from Italy with two gold bricks valued at $1,250. They represented the entire life savings of herself and son and she had converted these savings into gold in order to get them out of Italy... On her arrival in the United States she took the bricks to the Federal Reserve bank in Buffalo to convert them into money, only to have them seized by federal officers on the ground that she had not declared them to the customs officers. This u\eek a federal judge ordered the gold forfeited to the government. The United Slates attorney who handled the case agreed that it was "pitiful," but said that under the law, no other course of action other than seizure could have been taken. Pitiful is right but the word does not do the situation justice. It is hard to see what injury the United States of America would suffer as a consequence of this poor Woman bringing into the country $1,250 in gold that was rightfully hers; and hard to see why the law, which could not have been framed to deal with such a situation, should take it away from her. College Deans of Women Talk Problems and Get Acquainted; Dr. Dwight Smith Is Guest 4*2^ : Dr.Lucy gt;Kan Miss Florence Johnson, dean of women, attended Washington Dean of Women's conference last Thursday, Friday, Saturday'and part of Sunday. The conference was held at Dirtyface Lodge near Wenatchee. The purpose of the conference was to acquaint the women with each other and to learn the different views from each college. On Saturday morning they divided into groups to discuss particular problems. There were four groups: state universities, private institutions, junior colleges, and teachers' colleges. Two guests at the conference were Dean Olsen, new dean at the University of Idaho, and Dr. Dwight Smith, Congregational minister from Bellingham. The„ twelve deans held a picnic supper at Soda Springs on Saturday night. Miss Johnson traveled from Bellingham to Seattle by bus where she met Miss May Dunn Ward, dean of women at University of Washington. Miss Ward and Miss Johnson went to Wenatchee from Seattle by automobile and train. "I had a very pleasant trip. I enjoyed the autumn colors on the trees," Miss Johnson said. o— Friday, October 1A, 1938 Detriment To Health Exists In Gym Kangley Receives PhD. Degree Look What's Coming Well, kiddies, here it is October 14, and it is about that time of the year when this here college has what is called Homecoming, it seems like the old grads come back and clutter up the place and there is a football game and a dance and a lot of stuff. Well, now, this here Homecoming this year comes No-, vember 19 as the crow flies: Even if the crow don't fly, the editor says it comes on November 19 anyhow. (Hey, Cooper, how about introducing me to that Christensen gal.) It seems like there won't be any freshman bonfire burned down by the "sophomores" this year, cause the school doesn't want to pay any more hospital bills. I guess the freshmen will build it the day before the night of the big game. And don't think it ain't a big game. Eastern Washington College of Education from Cheney plays our football team and boy what a game it will be, I hope. As Soo Yong would say, "Afgrdzgughym dlewlly oski-dok!" Has Received Many Favorable Comments Concerning Her Thesis Dr. Lucy Kangley, instructor in English at WWC, has completed her work on a Ph.D. degree in education at Columbia University, having been granted a leave of absence last fall in order to finish this task. The thesis of Miss Kangley's dissertation is "Poetry Preferences in the Junior High School." Her work is at present being printed and is soon to be published. Dr. Kangley has received many favorable comments concerning her thesis from professors at Columbia, all of whom consider this dissertation as extremenly well written and unusual in its scope. In regard to the merit of Dr. Kangley's thesis is the following quotation from a letter written by Esther Anson at Teachers College, Columbia: "In our- advanced curriculum couree,-wMchis'Wofkhigiisri the reconstruction and revision of the Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, curriculum from kindergarten through high school, Dr. Bruner told us to read Lucy Kangley's dissertation on poetry choices. He said Dr. Abbott, who is one of the professors working on the Jenkintown project, recommended it very highly and that this dissertation is the greatest contribution to the field of junior high school literature that has been made. Not only that, but it is one of the best contributions to the teaching of English that has been done." ^There's no sense wasting time examining feet during the present medical exams. We'll all have athlete's foot inside of a month; that is, if the health authorities don't close the gym before then. Why? For the simple inexcusable reason that there is no antiseptic pad before the showers' in the dressing rooms. The absence of said disinfecting pad has been a detriment to the sanitary condition of the PE building ever since its erection. Many a carrier of that dreaded foot. ring worm, ath- : tete's foot, has stepped into the showers and spread germs in all directions. Many an unknowing person has likewise • stepped in the same showers and wondered ever after where he (or she) had contracted scaly feet! Why can't such a danger and detriment be removed easily and sanitarily by the immediate location of an antiseptic pad before the showers in both dressing rooms? —B. L. Football Is Theme Of SophPaity Using the theme of-football, the sophomores will have the first Class party of the year. It will be held tonight at 8 o'clock in the campus school gym. AH are urged to attend as there will be a surprise. The theme of football is to be carried out in the fashion of giving the boys and girls cards as they go into the dance to be matched later in the evening for a novelty dance. • The boys will be given a card in the form of a man carrying a football and the girls will be given a football. Following are the committee members, each of whom is a co-chairman of his committee: Advertising, Bill Ridder and Bill Fowler; novelty, Lois Reid, Jane Templin, Gage Chetwood and Evan Hill; decoration, Marion Jones, Stan Lapinski, Helen Lindstrom, and Chuck Durr; refreshments, Jean Carver, Jean Morgan, Betty Folley, and Dorothy Schaus; cleanup, Hollis Thiel and Murray Healy; arrangement of faculty sponsor, Barbara Booth.

Smilingly she admitted her fascination for our city and remarked, "I wish I could spend a whole week here in your beautiful Bellingham." Born of Chinese parentage on Mauri, one of the Hawaiian islands, Miss Yong soon became acquainted with many Americans. After graduating from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, she came to America where she enrolled in Columbia University. She has her M. A. degree from the latter. Miss Yong. was gt;very modest in disclosing.the fact that she "hW never received dramatic instruction or coachinsJn her colleee course of study. *?My knowledge of s Faculty Goes Swimming Wednesday Nights Plaster Drops in Hall; Wind Lashes Trees Every Wednesday night from 7:30 until 9 o'clock is the faculty recreation hour. On this night the swimming pool and the main gym are set aside for the members of the faculty, office force, their wives and husbands, and SAM FORD. This year a new scheme has been devised, whereas, bridge tables will be placed upon the balcony, overlooking the pool, for those who do not wish to swim or play games. Classes were rudely interrupted last Friday morning by falling plaster, which littered the floor with debris, in the hall between room 208 and 209. Dampness was blamed by Mr. Ensign, head janitor. To keep plaster from continuing to fall, Mr. Ensign was instructed by President Fisher to tear down the hanging plaster which had not fallen and also to get a carpenter. Monday the damage was repaired and after a new coat of paint the hall will be in j good shape again. _ I Other damage during the past' week included the partial destruction of several trees from a high wind storm of Wednesday. The storm left the campus littered with broken branches and leaves. Registration Scene SUGGESTION •*. Armament salesmen in Europe today are running around thicker than students around Dr. Kuder on registration day. Every nation over there is using every available cent, penny, sou, pfennig, or what have you to buy munitions. Even little Holland has not escaped the panic. Queen Wiihelmina's speech from the throne urged stronger defense measures. One of the most important provisions for the defense of a small country these days is to arrange to he overlooked.

Barely two days went by after publishing the first issue of the Viking, in which an editorial stated the new policy of the paper in deleting editorials because of the belief of lack of readers, because of the belief that one man s opinion should not be judged as a reflection of the paper's policy, and because of many factors, . . . Yes, barely two days had gone by when the writer of the editorial began to change his mind. Or, rather, have his mind changed for him. With gentle firmness, with raucous insistence, with callous argument, with appeal to reason, the many who take personal interest in the inside workings of the Viking began to surely change the policy which was then only two days old. The editor does not feel ashamed or does not try to apologize for his change of mind, for . . . "a wise man changes his mind; a fool, never." But to show the type of argument that was used to combat a quirk in the editor's mind the following excerpts are published. The writer was Harry FCIuge, editor of the Viking winter and spring quarter of 1937, who upon hearing that the practice of writing editorials was to be discontinued wrote, trying to convince the editor of the fallacy of his idea. "I read with quite a feeling of disappointment that you were contemplating publishing the Viking with no editorials. When I say that I was disappointed, I believe I can safely speak for every person who has worked in an editorial capacity on the Viking. And I particularly refer to [he select few that had the opportunity to spend many a dark hour cussing the man who invented editorials and policies . . . First of all, did you ever see a paper without editorials. . . . From the Christian Science Monitor to the free-for-all published by L. H. Darwin, never have I seen an issue without comment. . . . What you must do to create reader interest, and incidentally educate yourself, is to write about items that will be appreciated by the upper percentage of those who do read the edits. . . . If you have no editorials, how will you state the policy of the paper, and your personal convictions? How will vou1 thank those who bettered your school, your community, and your world? . . . WHERE WILL YOU FIGHT FOR T H A T WHICH IS RIGHT AND EXPOSE AND CONDEMN THAT WHICH IS WRONG? I hope you reconsider. Sincerely, HARRY KLUGE. AND THE EDITOR HAS RECONSIDERED.

He had been sitting on a park bench since early morning, just thinking. He thought and thought, but it was as if his thoughts were those squirrels in the revolving cage at the pet shop on lower Fifth. Finally he decided to clear out. Maybe it would be better if he started drifting. Back in his room in the Bronx, he began to go through his stuff in the hope of finding something pawnable. It wasn't much use, though; he'd already hit the broker for too much. What was this, wrapped in a square of chamois? Funny he'd never noticed it before. That box his mother had left. . . . he'd never been through it very thoroughly, thought it was mostly clothes, too worn or outmoded to be hocked. His fingers were stiff . . . he reached for a knife. The sparkle of gold met his eyes. It looked like hip mother's diamond; he was almost positive that she had been wearing it when she disappeared. Wait! There was a piece of paper. "Dear Son: I left you this with the hope that it would be of some use to you when you needed help and I'm not here to give it to you. Ever yours, Mother." He brushed away the tears that had come to his eyes, then ran down the stairs and into the street. If Ikey hadn't closed yet, maybe he could get he could get a job. "I've been too proud," he thought. "If Mother could leave me her most precious possession, I guess I can run errands." He ran in the door of Ikey's pawn shop. The old man greeted him with, "Well, kid, you come to pay me something, maybe?" Jimmy didn't answer, just threw the ring on the table in front of the Jew. Ikey gasped. "Where'd you get it?" "I didn't swipe it, honest I didn't. My mother left it to me, and I didn't even find it 'til just now. Is it any good, Ikey? Is it?" "It's too good. I couldn't even begin to give what it's worth." The boy looked at him, white-faced. Nowlcan-eat — Nowlcaneat — Nowlcaneat kept beating through his head. He turned and walked out of the shop, with the ring in his pocket, straight to where he had seen the advertisement for a general handyman. Five years later, he walked into a downtown jewelry shop. He laid the ring on the counter as he had in Ikey's, that other day, but he had the appear-ance of a well-to-do man. "Tell me, just how much is this wdrth?" After a close examination, the other replied, "Nothing, except as a sentimental keepsake. It is a very cheap chip diamond." Jimmy gave a sigh, and walked out of the store, the ring again in his pocket. Student Forum I went to a Quaker meeting Saturday nighi They told me it was to be' a football game, but when I arrived at the field I found that someone had surely made a mistake. This was not a place for pep, noise, enthusiasm, and good old rah-rah stuff. It was, evidently, a meeting for meditation, heavy silence and extreme concentration—(on the hat of the person in front). When I had been seated only a few moments in this dense calm, the band rudely awakened the echoes with the strains of Alma Mater. As I had been taught I jumped to my feet and began to bellow forth with great fervor. But, horrors, I found myself singing a solo! The people around me stared and frowned as if recalling long dead customs and finally struggled slowly to their feet in time to roar out the last six words, and six words is more than some of them know. It was the same when it came to yells. I. screeched and hollered as best I could arid ignored the many hints that I was disturbing the peace of a few hundred people. The yell leader and I braved the scorn and disapproval of "Battersby Tomb," and dueted through a few howls for the touchdowns. This is awful, you know. Something should be done about it. I have been led to believe that enthusiasm, is .considered extremely juvenile at football games by the students of WWC. The suppression which I received on Saturday night has changed me into a Casper Milquetoast. I am emerging from character only to write this epistle which I sincerely hope will be an incentive to Game Conduct Reform. N ' . / ' • ' J. T.

'•— o Skiing Movies Shown Technique Class Look H^e First Before You Cut For those freshmen not so sure about attednance regulations the Viking is printing a digest of the most important rules. Class attendance is required at all times. Absences are excused only for reasons of illness or injury certified by the Health department, or in cases of emergency, by the registrar, or at the request of some authorized member of the registrar's staff. Absence from class work hampers satisfactory performance. Therefore, when the number of unexcused absences per quarter in any given course exceeds the number of weekly class meetings, registration in that course will be cancelled with a recorded mark of failure. A petition for readmission will be considered by the scholarship committee only in exceptional cases. Assembly Attendance Required Student assemblies are an essential feature of college life; hence, attendance is required and excuses are granted only in cases of ill health or in cases of emergency. If the number of unexcused assembly absences exceeds three in any given quarter, registration of- the student will be suspended with reinstatement possible only by petition to the Attendance committee. The registrar's office will keep a record of excuses for each student. Under this system, any instructor or staff member responsible for the absence of a student or groups of students, such as teams, student teachers, classes on field trips, will report excuses to the registrar's office on or before the day on which the absence occurs. Whenever the number of absences reaches the maximum allowed, the instructor will report that fact to the registrar's office where account will be taken of excuses and any remaining margin if unexcused absences reported back to the instructor. Absences To Be Checked In any case where cancellation of registration resulting from excessive absences followed by a petition for reinstatement occurs the chairman of the Scholarship committee will consult with the instructor involved to determine the status of the student's work, his attitude, and any other pertinent information. After consideration of this data and after conference with the student, the committee will take action re-arding readmission. Absences from assembly will be checked by the registrar's office and the Attendance committee properly notified in any case where action must be taken. Guild Presentation Is Comedy "Mr. Pirn Passes By," a whimsical comedy, is to be presented by the theater guild starting November 9 to 12. This play deals with a troublesome occasion in the household of a conservative English country gentleman because of the faulty memory of the well-meaning Mr. Pim. In the course of action, in which a request for a letter of recommendation is made, Mr; Pim implies that his hostess' former husband is not dead, but alive.

XLI—NO. 30 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Tuesday, May 8, 1945 GERMANY THROWS SPONGE IN; JAPS LEFT President Truman Confirms Unconditional Surrender "Victory is but half done", stated President Harry S. Truman in his official V-E Day confirmation message to the American people at 6 a. m. (PWT) this morning. Simultaneously Prime Minister Winston Churchill made his official proclamation to the British people. It was planned Marshall Joseph Stalin would make a similar report to the third great Allied nation. President Truman reminded the American people that the fighting job will be done only when the last Jap division surrenders unconditionally. He asked that every citizen stick to his job until the last battle has been won. Sunday, May 13, was set aside as a day of prayer by President Truman in his official proclamation. He asked the nation to unite in offering joyful thanks to God who has given us victory. Instead of the usual victory day celebration, he also asked his countrymen to make this a day of prayer to those who have given their lives in this war. Chief Executive Requests Next Sunday Be Day of Prayer The early morning broadcasts today described the scene of the signing of the European Armistice. Colonel General Gustov Jodl was reported as looking as though he wore the death mask as he rose to ask the Allied leaders to show generosity to the German people. All was quiet after the German plea until Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith led the Germans from the headquarters of General "Ike" Eisenhower. The end of the war against Germany brings to a close the greatest conflict in history. The unconditional surrender papers were signed at Reims, Fance, at General Eisenhower's headquarters, "the little red school- « ,± • u „ _ • , ^ house",, on Sunday, May 6. President Harry S. Truman made the formal announcement of German capitulation today. Although Truman has just Th*» nffirial nanorc w A r * been in office for three weeks, he has taken up where the late President Roosevelt left off by joining forces with Stalin oriiciai papers w e re and churchill.

S. It's here at last—V-E Day. It isn't quite the way everyone thought it would be at first. There was no sudden shock of the Germans surrendering. The Collegian staff has been ready too, at the moment the news .came, to get out the War Extra. Staff members have been practically carrying radios around with them in eager anticipation of the news. The Saturday that the false news came through, the staff dashed down to the print shop and started the news rolling off only to abandon the job when the report was denied. We are all grateful to some of the members of the faculty and Alfred Clement for the marvelous help they have given us. Miss Nora B. Cummins, Thomas P. Hunt, Edward Arntzen and Dr. W. W. Haggard have all very willingly made contributions to this issue, making its publication possible. Powerful Air Force Built By Arnold Gen. George C Marshall 'General of the Army George C. Marshall sat at a desk in Washington, D. C, and sent out directions and commands that have brought victory to the Allied forces in Europe. In four years General Marshall has molded and shaped the greatest army the United States has ever known. Eight million fighting Americans make up this force—a force of infantrymen, engineers, flyers, artillerymen, and airborne troops-all G. I.'s. General Marshall had made his plans well, and with the capitulation of Germany today he has seen these plans emerge completely fulfilled. Who Is Jodl? Gen* Henry H. Arnold General Hap H. Arnold is overall commander of the Army Air Forces and his headquarters are at the Pentagon Building, Washington, D. C. Who is Colonel General Gustav Jodl, the new Chief of Staff of the German armies? As far as we know, this Jodl is the same General Alfred Jodl who was wounded last July in the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler. Back in 1942 Jodl was a personal aide of Adolf Hitler. Later he became Chief of the German armed service guidance staff and the following year assumed a command on the Russian front. He succeeded Colonel General Heinz Guderian as Chief of Staff. American War Leaders Aid In Bringing Allied European Victory On Western Front Conservative, cautious Lieut.-Gen. Courtney Hodges is in charge of the American First Army, probably the most powerful of all U. S. Armies. The First never moves until it is ready, but when it does moves it moves fast. Working side by side with the first is the cocky, speedy Third Army, under the command of Lieut-Gen. George S. Patton. The Third is colorful and bold and its motto is speed. It is an armored force—and under the leadership of confident Gen. Patton, this smallest of the European armies has chalked up a record of which it can be proud. The American Seventh, commanded by Lieut-Gen. Alexander Patch, lacks armor and dash, but has the most impressive record of all American armies. Its road to Berlin was started in North Africa in November 1942. Patch is modest and unspecatcu-lar. His army is an example of a standard, efficient U. S. Army. The Ninth Army is new and comparatively unknown as to quality. It has been busy the last two months ,and was the only Allied army in Germany running into fanatical German resistance. Lieut.-Gen. William H. Simpson is its commander. The Ninth may. be considered the. freshest, keenest army in th*e west. v: There is one other U. S. army in the west, Lieut-Gen. Leonard T. Gerow's Fifteenth, i t is a "new" army, and its activities and whereabouts are more or less secret. These are the U. S. armies who have done the job in Germany. But to the fighting man—to. the G. L in the trenches and on the road, goes a great part of the credit tot the victory. He has done his job^ and done it well. He is the army—and this is his victory. : ''•"' •'••'•'• '••''' '''••11':-'-::'* • Special Assembly Called Today At 11 a. m. today students of WWC will gather in the auditorium for an assembly in honor of V-E Day. The program will consist of the flag salute followed by the reading of the Gold Star names of WWC by Doris Tedford. The address of the day will be delivered by W. Carl Calhoun of the Congregational Church, who will speak on "The Meaning of Today." Although only a short simple program has been planned it is designed to meet the feeling of the day. We Were Waiting We had been waiting. For days the news of Germany's surrender had been expected—but when the Associated Press released the first news, most of us were caught unprepared. In the hours before the official confirmation' came, we had plenty of time in which tQ think. The war is hot over yet. We can utter a prayer of thanksgiving that the European War has ended, and this *we do. But a great task still remains before us, the task of whining the war with Japan. . Our men in Europe have ended the active, organized resistance. For the first time in many months the majority do not have to live in constant fear of death; for the first time they can relax. The men on the Western Front have done their part for victory—but as the guns cease firing there, the fight rages on in the South Pacific. No, it is not a.time for wild rejoicing. Thankfulness, yes, and joy too. But we must remember that slogan "business as usual," stay on the job and keep the Gen. Eisenhower Victory Leader Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower General Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower, commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, is the man in over-all charge of the Western Front; and to him must go much of the credit, for the surrender of Germany. Cool and superbly competent, General Eisenhower has watched his armies push forward to Berlin—and victory. The four American armies in Europe have done their job side by side with the English, Canadian, and Russian, forces. To General Eisenhower, combat commander of our forces, must go a hearty and sincere tribute for a job well done. wheels of industry rolling until we can say that it is over for good. Clement Reviews War Since D Day By ALFRED CLEMENT The announcement of V-E Day today comes as a climax to almost one year of Anglo- American fighting on the continent of Europe, and four years of fighting for the Russians. From Poland deep into Russia, as far as Stalingrad, the Germans were on the offensive. Then the tide turned and the Russians fought all the way from Stalingrad to Berlin. June 6, 1944, just eleven months and two days ago, a combined force of Americans and British landed at the Normandy beachhead. This was D Day, the beginning of a long hard road to Berlin which was climaxed by the surrender of the German government at 2:41 a. m.. French time, Monday. Now we will sketch the most important events since D Day. D Day was June 6. During the first two weeks the allied armies were startled by the most ferocious channel storm in history. Then the Americans isolated Cherbourg. For almost a month the armies were stalled on the Normandy front in the battle of the Hedgerows; then on July 18 the British broke out of Caen followed by the Allied breakthrough at St. Lo on July 25. July 29 Cauntances fell. During August the Allied Armies raced through Northern France. Orleans, Cannes, Lyon and many other French towns fell. The Germans were trapped at the Seine. August 25 Paris was liberated; by August 29 the Allied Armies were fighting on the battlegrounds of the First World War; Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood, Chalons; our armies were on the Marne. During September, October and the early part of December the Allied Armies were delayed by the flood swollen Roer and the Rhine. Acchen was the only major German city captured during this period. The last part of December Von Rundstedt ordered his armies to counter attack in the famous December breakthrough.. This was Germany's last attempt at attack. It failed. Our, armies crossed the Roer. , In a swift breakthrough in March our armies captured the Remagen bridge, thus enabling our troops to cross the Rhine in a hurry. When the Remagen bridge collapsed a week later there were enough pontoon bridges built to keep up the steady flow of men and material across the Rhine. 7 This was followed by more crossings''of the(Rhine and ourarmiesktarted their race across Germany. During the month of April German resistance collapsed. G. i. ^oes met Russian Ivans at the Elbe and Berlin was captured. | The scene was moving swiftly now. During the first six days bf^NCay, almost all of the German armies surrendered except in Norway, Bohemia, Yugoslavia and smaller pockets in France, Crete and oh the Elbe. But all is over in Europe noW; 6 n th 'eighth day of May, 1945, it was officially announced by the Big Three that Germany had surrendered unconditionally; * ' •:•..;• ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 May 8 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, May 8, 1945 Western Washington College of Education; Bellingham, Washington WWC Mourns War Heroes By PEGGY CUSTER Twenty-seven years after the end of World War I, word again reaches the nation that Germany has asked for an unconditional surrender. In comparison to the generations and decades since the birth of this world, the term 27 years seems very minute; but with respect to the attitudes and feelings of people the World over, infinite progress has been made. As soon as the first confirmed news flashes reached the ears of the 'American people in 1918, a frenzied fever of hysteria swept over the country. There were untold joy and celebration on that day of November 11. 1^18. Now afto-several false rumors, Word of Germany's capitulation is again sweeping through the land; this time, however, our people are giving way to a few moments of involuntary joy and then taking it just in their stride because of the fighting yet to come. Even though some of us WWC students and faculty members may feel like celebrating, let us instead pause for a few moments of silent prayer for those former students of the college who have given their lives or who have been declared missing.

No College Celebration; Students Thoughtful This morning as the European War came to a close, I noticed the excited faces of students in the hallways of our alma mater. Wondering just what was going on in their minds as a result of the great news, I decided to take a poll to get the reactions of some of these students. The first victim was Gerry Ludens, and her answer was "Can't get excited, but feel thankful." Next I came to Bob LePas-tel who said, "Glad some of the boys will be through fighting." Other opinions were: Cheryl Smith. . "It's half over . ."; Jean Travenshek . . . "There is still the big war to fight with Japan"; Jean Orphan . . . "We in the West know that this isn't the end, Japan is left."

ARNTZEN This V-E Day represents one of the great milestones in the progress of the World War. It gives us the right to look forward with increasing confidence to the victorious end of the whole war in the not far distant future. Hence, this day.is now, and probably will continue to be one of the memorable days of our history. Twenty-seven years ago, as a member of the armed forces, I participated in the celebration of another victory in Europe. I hope that we and.the generation to come can so arrange affairs that this V-E Day arid the V-J Day to follow will mark not only the end of war but the beginning of aiii era of continued peace. Then these days will be truly memorable; Big Three Drew Plans at Yalta From the Official Report on the Yalta Conference held in February, 1945, and signed by Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin: "Our meeting here in the Crimea has reaffirmed our common determination to maintain and strengthen in the peace to come that unity of purpose and of action which has made victory possible and certain for the United Nations in this war. We believe that this is a sacred obligation which our governments owe to our people and to all the peoples of the world. "Only with the continuing and growing co-operation and understanding among our-three countries and among all the peace-loving nations can the highest aspiration of humanity be realized—a secure and lasting peace which will, in the words of the Atlantic Charter, 'afford assurance that all the men in all the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want.' "Victory in this war and establishment of the proposed international organization will provide the greatest opportunity in all history to create in the years to come the essential conditions of such a peace." European Victory Brings Memories of Roosevelt * ' * . * Today's news reminds us of Franklin Qelano Roosevelt who worked constantly for this day of victory. When we bow our heads in tribute to all our boys who are gone, let us also remember our late President Roosevelt. From the time he took office in January, 1933, he worked for the furtherance of democracy not only among his own people, but also among all the peace loving countries. PRESERVE THIS WWCOLLEGIAN IT WILL BE VALUABLE IN YEARS TO COM€ It has been exactly 42 months since former WWCollegian editor, Eric Phillips and his staff, on December 8, 1941, distributed the War Exerta announcing the traitorous attack on Pearl Harbor. odiiolial Now that the war in Europe has come to a smashing climax and Germany has given her unconditional surrender, we all have reason for greater hope than we have dared to call forth during the past three and one-half years. Yet we have no right to decrease our efforts even in the slightest degree, as our boys are still dying on battlefronts all over the world so that we can still look forward to complete peace. Back in 1941, on December 7, we were^ajl stunned with the news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and since that fateful day we have seen our youth go out to give their lives so that we may live democratically. Some of those that have gone will never return, but memories of their sacrifice demand that we make the future of their and our country one that will benefit humanity and guide future generations away from the horrors of war. Bitter fighting is continuing in the Pacific theater at this hour and it is not for us to forget that while we may celebrate others are sacrificing. Let us turn our full concentrated thoughts to those who are facing the Japanese and resolve not to relax even for a moment.

The liberated peoples in Europe today must be joyous beyond expression. Millions, including parents, brothers and sisters, in the country, have been praying for this day. Today is deeply meaningful in two respects. The peace in Europe is to be won yet, and we are still at war with Japan. Thousands of our boys are still dying in battle. We should dedicate ourselves today to the speedy completion of the Japanese war and the winning of world peace. W. W. HAGGARD, President. May 8, 1945. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz Admiral Chester A. Nimitz, Cincpac, fe Chief of the Pacific Fleet. He was called on by Franklin D. Roosevelt, December 8, 1941, to take this command. At the present time his headquarters are at Guam. Pacific War Receives Full Concentration The war in Europe is over! There is no time for celebration now, for we must turn to the Pacific and keep on fighting with re-doubled effort. Our worries are not over until V-J Day, which will probably not come in less than one year. Until then we must stay at our jobs. Many people have the mistaken idea that Japan is going to be a pushover since Germany has been defeated. Undoubtedly the extra men and supplies transferred to the Asiatic front will help speed the war along, but the high price we havel paid for such small islands as Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Okinawa and Saipan show that Japan is no pushover. We can stay back and bomb Japan, but this will not bring her down. We must conquer the Japanese totally, including an invasion of Japan proper, which will cost a great many lives. Victory over Japan will not be easy. It is going to be a long hard fight. There is no time for jubilation now. Viciciu Men, marching . . .

Instead of a day for celebration, it is a day for dedication to the unfinished tasks which lie before us. A real sense of relief comes to us to know that the shooting which has been going on in Europe since 1939 is at an end. Any relaxation of effort would be most unfortunate now, nor must we permit our vision to become blurred at the enormity of the task ahead of us, for at no time in history have there been so many problems to be considered in reconstruction after a war as there are now confronting Europe. . Arrangements must be made immediately for millions of-people to return to the place they have called home. Of the millions, great numbers will have to rebuild then* houses and start life over again. Communication systems, transportation facilities and the means of distribution must be re-established as soon as possible. Fascist and Nazi criminals must be punished. Care must be taken to find new leaders. The followers of the old leaders must have their distorted minds re-educated so that they may understand that there is a better way to live and act. Some form of military government will be set up in Germany to take care of urgent needs but after a time other methods of control must be found. " We Americans have escaped the physical savages of war in our own;, land and therefore should be able to put first things first and to intelligently collaborate with the other members of the United Nations in hastening European reconstruction and in planning for the future by setting up world machinery to keep the peace if possible and if not to punish any aggressor who may be so rash as to again strike a blow at civilization. Above all, we must not forget that we have a war in the Pacific to win against a fearful enemy. The Allied Nations let down after World War I and still have World War II. Cessation of fighting does not bring peace. It can only bring chaos unless there is a will to peace. Peace is not to be had for the asking; there is a price to pay. In this solemn moment we' should resolve not to forget the price our fighting men have paid and have yet to pay. We must keep faith with them and constantly remember why we went to war and for what they have been fighting. We dare not let our minds become absorbed with minor problems or be confused with the inevitable compromises that will be made. Our thoughts must be kept on the big central programs now being planned and work for desirable changes in the more settled years for which we long. This generation has suffered but this generation has an opportunity to help make a better world. King Top Navy Head Prof.'s Opinions A few of the faculty views, when hearing the news yesterday morning were as follows: Dr. Lucy Kangley: "At this time I feel no elation over the surrender of Germany because the war must continue against Japan. Everybody should realize our postwar obligations and the chaos we face in Europe. But I thank God the shooting is over in Europe." Dr. Paul Grim: "The news is important but I feel there should be no celebration until Japan is defeated." Dr. Arthur C. Hicks: "The defeat of Germany proves a man or nation cannot defy the moral sense of humanity indefinitely without experiencing a terrific retribution. This is a stern moral. Hitler shows that the aquisition of supreme power in defiance of all moral principles is destined to defeat. We nave yet to defeat Japan and we must remain sober at the present time." George Dack: "Its a wonderful thing. However, we should have no V Day celebration until Japan is licked." Adm. Ernest J. King Admiral Ernest King is Supreme Commander of all American Navies. During the early days of the war he was Commander in Chief of the Atlantic fleet. Franklin D. Roosevelt promoted him to his present job. His headquarters are at Washington, D. C. MacArthur Leads Pacific F'g^t fien.DguhitfacAxjfa* General Douglas MacArthur is now the Commander-in-Chief of Allied army forces in the Pacific. At the outbreak of the war he was commander of the Philippine force. He operates from Manila. more victory news (Continued from Page One) signed by Gen. Gustov Jodl, Chief of Staff of the German Army; Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith, Chief of Staff for General Eisenhower, signed for the supreme allied command; I v a n Susloparoff represented Russia and General Francois Sevez, France. Celebration was greatly lessened by the realization that a terrific battle is yet to be won against Japan. Many casualties will be suffered between now and V-J Day. The greatest of all European wars claimed at least 40,000,- 000 casualties on both sides in killed, wounded and captured in 2,076 days of agony. Hitler's arrogant armies invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, and started five years, eight months and six days of strife that have overspread the world. The announcement of the German unconditional surrender was joyously received in all of the Allied countries. London went wild at the news and in Times Square loud celebration took place. In most parts of the country, however, the reception of .the victory news was ^greeted quietly and with reverence.PPPPP

Enrollment Up Upon completion of final registration on Monday the largest enrollment in the history of the college will have taken place. President W. W. Haggard expects that this year's total enrollment will exceed last fall's by about 200. Returning students will register on Monday from 8 to 4:30 in the library. Regular classes will begin Tuesday. Churches Sponsor Frosh Activities During the next few days two important events will occur and all freshmen and transfer students are urged to attend these social hours as it will give them an opportunity to become acquainted with both the faculty and ministers of their faith. Sunday afternoon members of the faculty will invite to their homes counselees who have been assigned to them. Throughout the freshman year the counselee may go to his jadviser if any problems-should occur. ^. Arrangements have also been made to introduce newcomers to ministers of all the churches in town. This church social gathering will be held Wednesday evening. Administrators Add Five Instructors To Complete Staff Announcement of five new faculty members has been made by the administration of Western Washington College. Two additions have been made in the education department, two in the industrial arts department and one in the department of English. Norman E. Gronlund, education, is from the University of Michigan where he completed his requirements this summer for his doctorate of philosophy. Dorothy Ramsland, home economics, late of Central Michigan College of Education took graduate work at the University of Wisconsin preparatory to her position on the staff of WWC. David J. Burrell, industrial arts, was chairman of industrial arts for Queen Anne high school and curricuT lum consultant for Seattle schools. Ray Schwaln, industrial arts, was a student instructor and candidate for Ph. D. at Oregon State College. Halldor Karason, English, former ASB president has been taking graduate work at the University of Washington and will substitute for James O'Brien who is now taking graduate work. Registration was just the beginning of a busy day for the lowly fresh-? men. If they aren't beat right down to their socks now, they will be by the time the mixer is over tonight, for Zona Daverin and Ralph Brown, co-chairmen of the affair have planned a full evening of entertainment for all who attend. ^ ' "We're trying to make this dance, the first for freshmen, a mixer, so •they'll have a chance to get to know eacn other and feel that they are being included in school functions. We hope that this dance will serve as a spring board into the swing of activities that are yet to come," said chairman Daverin. Dancing will begin in the gymnasium at 8:30 p. m. Music will be furnished by Bruce Gillett's orchestra. When Phyllis Armstrong, one of the co-chairmen of decorations, was interviewed she stated, ,"Our theme is to follow the usual state of confusion that a frosh finds him-, self in during the first few days here at Western-" One wall of the gym will be done in murals. They will be a calendar, of events depicting, the important happenings in the freshman year of college life. Because little is known of the off-campus property; one wall will be decorated with sketches' of Lakewood, Viqueen lodge and Kul-shan cabin at Mount Baker. Vic the Vik will make his first ap- WWC Opens Doors for New Freshmen New students enrolling at WWC for this fall quarter will undergo a concentrated course of indoctrination and orientation designed to acquaint them with the working (and playing) procedures of the college. To offset the tedious registration work, a program of social activities has been worked out in which all new students are invited to participate. WONDERFUL LIFE SHOWN Opening the program, a party was held for the new enrollees last night at the Campus school auditorium. The movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," was shown, and refreshments were served. Approximately 250 prospective'students attended. Robin Geske and Cliff McCullem were co-chairmen on the committee. Future 'freshmen and other new students arriving by bus or train Thursday and today were met at the depots and driven to the campus in decorated cars supplied by the USPC Charles Messinger was chairman of the transportation committee. J. C. C. TOURS CITY The Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a tour of the city for the new arrivals. This will begin at 4:00 p. m. today. Chairman of the tour is Harold Colvin. Friday night, a dance and mixer will be held for the newcomers in the main gymnasium. Music will be furnished by Bruce Gillett, and refreshments will be served. Zona Daverin and-Ralph Brown are co-chairmen of the dance committee. Co-chairmen of the decoration committee are Phyllis Armstrong and Grover Ledbetter. Other committee chairmen are: music, Jerry Waddel; check room, Cec Hannen; refreshments, Donielle Mo-sier, Charmaine Wing, Fred Clog-stoh; clean-up, John Pill. Special assemblies will be held in the auditorium at 9:00 a. m. and 2:30 p. m. Friday, and 9:00- a. m. Saturday. HOEDOWN AT REC Mixed recreation is scheduled for Saturday night beginning at 8:00 p. m. in the gymnasium building and lounge.

Don't be one of those unfortunates who continually complain obout the lack of school spirit and lashes out at the seeming clicquishness of clubs Around mid-year there are always those who wake up to the fact that they are being left out of the many school activities which are largely sponsored by the clubs here at Western. These clubs are made up of you students and cannot operate without your cooperation. They need new members and new ideas. Without these organizations, social life on the campus would be non-existent. The solution to all this is to consult your Navigator and find out which clubs would best suit your interests. There will be a social held in the lounge within the next few weeks. Representatives of the various organizations will be there to give you any information you may desire and they will sign up new members of their clubs. This is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of college activities, so be sure and watch for further notice.'fjon't let opportunity and the chance for leadership pass you by. Well, the first one is over. Perhaps the Viks helped themselves by dropping it. Ardent fans will recall last year's inaugural affair at which time a spirited Viking eleven shellacked UBC In the opener. With confidence thus firmly inbedded the team went on to a miserable season. This year's assembly shouldn't be over-confident. They have no reason. Frazier's Loss Hurts One hole looms up immediately on the team—Jack "Slats" Frazier, who covered the back of the line so thoroughly last season is conspicuous by his absence. The big boy had the instinctive quality which makes a ball player. He could discern the plays before they happened, and then plop his big frame where it was needed most. Cultivating a player to take his place will be a full time job for line coach Ray Ciszek. New players to supplement the veterans were evident in last weeks fray. Before judging the newcomers a few weeks will be needed. Some of the oldtimers displayed their prowess however. Breveik and Peterson looked good at the tackles. McStott and Lindbloom were sixty minute men in the backfield. Mel has the head of a quarterback, and he couples this with great defensive play. Richardson Hits Center Something new was discerned in the offensive action. Roy Richardson threw his sportly body bravely on the through center action, while big Norm Hash was seen skirting the ends. Something wrong there someplace. Ten days turnout before a tough game like Lewis and Clark was bad. The muscles used to pitching fish just can't be adjusted to throwing footballs in that length of time. Coach Lappenbusch has a lot of material to choose from, and by the time the first conference game with Eastern becomes a reality on October 1, he should field a strong, well-balanced team. Out-passed, out-hustled, and out? run spelled doom to Western's Vikings last Saturday in the opening chapter of a football season which promises to be a best seller. Lewis and Clark of Portland handed the defeat to the Vikings by the score, of 19 to 0. A six foot six inch quarterback by the name of Bob Pollard loomed above the line, throwing spot passes which left the pass' defenders aghast, sisted by the rest of the squad, The visitors rammed home two?^ touchdowns in the second quarter, and were never in danger in this show of strength. To add insult to injury they added seven more points in the third quarter. The local boys couldn't get rolling, Their passing attack was off beam, • and their defense for passes was almost non-existent. Many bugs must be ironed out be- J fore the squad can expect to reap'' any rewards for the effort they put , forth.

The A.S. meets in Red Square once per quarter as a way to facilitate conversation and distribute information about current A.S. issues, said David Toyer, vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs. "We're out here to show students that we are accessible," A.S. President Victor Cox said. "We're here to show there really isn't anything to hide. If students have questions following the resignations, we're Matt Anderson /The Western Front David Toyer and Michelle Yousey respond to Jennifer Brown's questions concerning Morgan Hepfer's resignation. Board reinstates Carrel to tech fee committee By Siobhan Millhouse THE WESTERN FRONT The A.S. board voted unanimously to reinstate William Carrel to the Student Technology Fee Committee and admitted that the STFC guidelines were unclear. "(Carrel's) expertise is not something that can be replaced easily," said Rafael Castaneda, A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs and STFC chair. "I've been trying to figure out what is best for the committee, what's fair and what's right." It took less than 10 minutes at Wednesday's board meeting for the board to reinstate Carrel to his previous position. The board said the verbal contract the STFC agreed do did not violate the First Amendment. A lot of work is in the STFC's future. The committee faces developing a clear set of guidelines and regulations for future STFC members. "I think that the rules of the committee in this case were very broadly applied and capricious," Carrel said. "The whole problem came out of the bylaws and a general misunderstanding," Castaneda said. Carrel said after meeting with Castaneda, prior to Wednesday, he was not certain what the outcome of the board meeting would be. "What can I say?" Carrel asked. "I'm happy, that's what I wanted all along. I just didn't See REINSTATE, page 6 By Terrill Simecki THEWESTERNFRONT ; The Associated Students board of directors appointed Cedric Bolton the new A.S. vice president for Diversity at Wednesday's board meeting. Bolton replaces former Vice President for Diversity Morgan Hepfer, who resigned from the position in February, citing a lack of support and cooperation on the board's behalf. "I feel like I have a big job ahead of me," Bolton said. "I'm happy, and I am ready to work." . The board unanimously voted in Bolton's favor. "He stood out both as someone that everyone could get along with, and his credentials were very good," said Rafael Castaneda, vice president for Academic Affairs. "He has a lot of experience dealing with people, communicating with people and he conducted himself in a professional way, and that made a big impression on a lot of the board members." The board chose Bolton, a senior majoring in general studies, over Kim Morrison, a senior, majoring in American cultural studies and Michael Tenney, a Fairhaven senior, military veteran and member of the Whatcom County Human Rights Task Force, after screening the candidates in a three-part selection process. Before the meeting, a panel consisting of A.S. President Victor Cox, Vice President of B u s i n e s s O p e r a t i o n s Michelle Yousey and Personnel Director April Uskoski interviewed the candidates and reviewed their resumes. "All three candidates were amazing," Cox said. "Their Cedric Bolton Western expansion crowds Happy Valley By Jaime Martin THE WESTERN FRONT The future impact Western will have on the Happy Valley neighborhood concerned many residents last Thursday at the Bellingham Planning and Development Commission hearing to consider the first draft of the Happy Valley Neighborhood Plan. "I don't want to sleep at Western or have my home as part of an auxiliary campus," homeowner and Western graduate student Tom Dunson said. Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Happy Valley Elementary School students await their bus ride. "It's almost as if the city of Bellingham has resigned Happy Valley to Western expansion." This concern stems from Western's interest in expanding the campus into Happy Valley, mainly through parking lots, institutional offices and a proposed storm- water treatment facility. Happy Valley encompasses 627 acres bordered by Interstate 5 to the east, Old Fairhaven Parkway to the south, an irregular line between 14th and 20th Streets to the west and Bill McDonald Parkway to the north. "Western wants to steamroll our neighborhood â€” and squeeze us out of Happy Valley," resident John Survey said. Most residents said they would like to see other Bellingham neighborhoods take some of the burden produced by Western. One resident wondered why See HAPPY VALLEY, page~6 resumes were outstanding. Their -answers. to the-questions: were great." Each candidate answered three questions in an open discussion during the board meeting: What does diversity mean to you? What do you see as the most important issues facing minorities at Western Washington University? If you were to be appointed vice president for Diversity what would be your goals for next quarter? "Cedric's experience, his initiative and his understanding of diversity was really good," Cox said.

Rescuers found them Wednesday morning because they carried a whistle that attracted the attention of a passing tug boat. The two men from Bellingham were all right when rescuers found them on Decatur Island, located on the east side of the San Juan Islands. The Coast Guard had been searching Bellingham Bay since midnight Tuesday when one man's mother reported them missing. Mayor commends police for calming Mardi Gras crowds Seattle Mayor Paul Schell said he is proud of police who controlled the crowd early Wednesday in Pioneer Square. "Fat Tuesday is no excuse for . drunken rowdiness," Schell said. Police said the use of pepper spray was justified to protect life and property. Spokesman Clem Benton said partiers threw bottles at officers when they went to help a woman who fell off a newspaper stand. Hundreds of people filled Pioneer Square streets. They were drinking at taverns and bars as part of the Mardi Gras celebration. When the crowd refused to disperse, officers fired spray and,arrested 11 people. Five officers suffered minor injuries. NATIONAL NEWS Bradley, McCain come up short on Super Tuesday Bill Bradley walked picket lines, spoke of his commitment to race relations and assailed Al Gore for past ambivalence on abortion. Still, the Democratic Party's core constituencies â€” organized labor, minorities and abortion-rights groups â€” remained loyal to the Clinton- Gore White House. After being shut out in 16 primaries and caucuses on Tuesday â€” and in Iowa and New Hampshire before that â€” Bradley described his campaign as a success, if not by the number of votes then by the strength of ideas. "We've brought core Democratic issues to the fore," Bradley told his disappointed supporters. John McCain couldn't reach enough Republicans, and Bill Bradley saw his core supporters flock to Al Gore. That was Super Tuesday in a nutshell. Texas Gov. George W. Bush rode support from Republican faithful, conservatives and the religious right to steamroll past McCain. The Arizona senator had support from much smaller groups: moderates, independents and Democrats who crossed over into the Republican primaries, according to the exit polls conducted Tuesday by Voter News Service for The Associated Press and television networks. Bush succeeded in convincing large numbers of Republican voters that McCain was not conservative enough. Nearly half the voters in New England and New York questioned McCain's conservative credentials; in other states, it was a t least one-third. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Palestinians, Israelis set to resume talks Palestinians and Israelis ended a crisis in the .peace process Wednesday by each conceding what had been a cardinal "no": Israelis allowed greater U.S. involvement, and Palestinians accepted territory not abutting Jerusalem. In a telling sign of the renewed U.S. : role, it was President Clinton's top envoy, Dennis Ross, who announced the resumption of peace talks, flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Ross, who said the peace talks would resume in Washington after the four-day Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday beginning March 16, also said the sides are committed to "work in the spirit of partnership and mutual confidence." The accelerated pace â€” aiming for the outline of a permanent agreement by May and for a full-fledged deal by Sept. 13 - was nonetheless fraught with issues that could sideline an agreement. Arafat suspended the talks early last month over an interim Israeli troop withdrawal from 6.1 percent of the West Bank. China executes senior official China executed a corrupt deputy provincial governor on Wednesday, underscoring the government's determination to end pervasive graft that has eroded support for Communist Party rule. Officials timed the execution to coincide with the country's most public political event and was followed by televised images of the official's ill-gotten gains: caches of cognac, piles of U.S. and Chinese cash, gold watches, diamond rings and a golden Buddha.

Unfortunately, one piece of the project is missing, .and Rieck thinks someone stole it. Classmate Leana Korthuis noticed the piece, a magnifying lens worth up to $400, was missing March 3. The alleged theft occurred hours before Western's Senior Industrial Design class presented senior projects at The Greenhouse in downtown Bellingham. Korthuis said she believes the piece was stolen between 2 and 4 p.m., as she and other students were setting up the exhibit. The store was open to the public. Rieck was out of town at the time of the theft. "I was just sick to my stomach," Rieck said. "It'a just sad that people don't realize all the hours and hours, energy and time (I) put into it." Rieck and Korthuis describe the piece as an abstract, aluminum magnifying glass with an acrylic lens, about four inches long. aIt was really cool and unique, - totally different than anything," Korthuis said. The object rested underneath a glass plate but was open to the hands of the public. "It's the kind of store (where)you pick up stuff and look at (it)," Rieck said. "I think people got kind of confused." Rieck's piece was among a number of projects on display at The Greenhouse, located at 1235 Cornwall Ave. "They were pleased to have a local display," said Joan Olson, manager of The Greenhouse. "There was a great turnout, (but) this kind of marred the event," Olson said. "This (theft) is not typical of our customers," Olson said. "We would have never expected it." Rieck contacted Bellingham police officer Russ Miller, who declined to comment on the case. Although the project already received a grade, Rieck said she will reconstruct the stolen lens. "The biggest problem is that it's a portfolio piece," she said. "I don't have it to show (to) future employers." "All that we're asking is that it's returned," Korthuis said. Conference will address wilderness conservation By Tiffany Campbell THE WESTERN FRONT John Miles, director for the Center of Geography and Environmental Social Sciences at Western, and John McLaughlin^ associate Huxley professor, will speak on wilderness issues at the national Northwest Wilderness Conference 2000 in Seattle March 31 to April 2. The conference will feature speakers from diverse areas of the wilderness issue, including the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service, as well as many other wilderness advocacy groups. "We have in the Northwest one of the largest concentrations of wilderness in the lower 48," Miles said. "The whole concept of wilderness is changing as well. (This conference) will help explore new conceptions of wilderness that are out there. It's important to get together and talk about it. It has implications for national forests and public lands in general." "We're trying to bring new people into the debate on wilderness," Bob Friemark of The Wilderness Society said. "We want to educate people about what's going on in the wilderness movement." The speakers will form panels that deal with issues like roadless area protection and different tactics for wilderness protection. "The wilderness movement is a very diverse movement, with individuals really adopting different strategies of how they want to be engaged and how they want the issues moved forward," Friemark said, adding that these strategies could be anything from sitting in trees to lobbying Congress. "If we had done this process years ago and based our policies on it, we wouldn't be at the salmon crisis we're at now," McLaughlin said. "Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes." The conference is open to all, and package costs range from $85 to $143, depending on meals.

The coming changes will include the construction of a new Campus Services Center, a widening of Bill McDonald up the hill from South College Way, a signalized, curving intersection at 21st Street and a 180- stall parking lot on 21st Street near campus. Construction of the roadway renovations, intersection and parking lot will begin in June and resume as fall quarter begins, said Ed Simpson, Western's Facilities project manager. "We hope to get the bulk of the messy stuff done (this summer)," Simpson said. The Campus Service Center Project is slated to begin in April 2001 and continue through spring 2002. The center will combine the relocation of the Student Health Center, campus police and the Parking and Transportation offices. The facility will sit directly across the completed intersection at Bill McDonald Parkway and 21st Street and will include basement parking for police vehicles and employees, a 30- space parking lot to the right of the complex along 21st Street and a service entrance/pedestrian walkway that will snake around the east side. Mike Smith of Zervas Group Architecture, the prime contracting outfit of the project, said the new structure will greatly increase police service and student health operations. "This will be a new command center on campus," he said. Smith added that it is the university's goal to transform Bill McDonald into a "southern gateway to the campus" by widening its car lanes and adding a five-foot bike path. A strip of native vegetation will replace the existing brush and scattered trees that line this stretch of the parkway, separating the street from a pedestrian walkway that will run alongside the Softball field. The aim, said Michael Durbin, associate project engineer for David Evans and Associates Inc., is to "try and get drivers to slow down and to create more of a sense of a pedestrian and bicycle environment." In addition, an improvement in street lighting will create a safer route for all and give more of an official entrance look to the university, Durbin said. Simpson said Western's targeted budget for the entire project is $7.4 million. The Campus Services Center's projected cost is $5.1 million and the roadway renovations, including the parking lot, will run $2.3 million. Simpson added that the Campus Services Center has been in the planning stage since 1996, and completion of the roadway planning pre-design occurred in July 1998. Happy Valley resident Dunham Gooding mentioned additional reasons for approving the renovations. "By changing the intersection to a curve with stoplights, it will de-emphasize 21st (away from Western) as a through way," he said. "One of the problems our neighborhood suffers is the fact that people transit through the neighborhood to get to the university." Citizens raised concerns at the meeting regarding the project's clearing of trees and wetlands. Durbin addressed these concerns, maintaining that a trail coming down the hill across from the 21st Street intersection will remain intact, and just one small wetland area between the street and the trail exists in the area to be renovated. Simpson stressed that native foliage will be replanted to replace whatever is destroyed in the project and the entire area around Campus Services Center will be fully landscaped. advice and equipment for the outdoors T * H *E G * R Â» E *AÂ»T ISfENTlAlI Y 2 0 1 E.

Margin is a loan, from a stockbroker, to buy stock. Federal law allows investors to borrow up to 50 percent of- the money they will need to huy a stock. If the stock costs $10,000, the investor must have $5,000. The risks of investing on margin are that an investor faces the possibility of having to sell a stock and can end up owing his or her stockbroker money. Margin is better for an investor that is going to receive the money to pay the loan off because he or she doesn't have to rely on the stock as the only collateral for the loan, said Nicholas Kaiser, director and president of Saturna Capital. "You are leveraging your account so that you can own more investment (stock)," Wallace said. Margin trading is like doubling the speed of one's car. While one can get to where he or she is going faster, if he or she crashes, the bodily harm will be twice as much. Investors that bought stock in Ogden Corporation learned how devastating a high-speed crash can be. On Aug. 17, 1999 a margin investor could have bought 100 shares of Ogden Corporation for $25 per share ($2,500). The margin loan would have been $1,250. A month later Ogden gapped down from $19.50 per share to near $14 per share. The margin investor would be required to make a margin call at $16.50. Since Ogden stock was collateral for the loan, and the price was '. dropping rapidly, the investor's stockbroker may have decided to sell Ogden to try to recover the loan. If the stockbroker had sold Ogden at $12 per share the investor would have received $1,200; the money, however, Â§jjr is Silitilipf INN' jj is â€¢mmmMtiwim mfmmsMm 30 25 20 Stock Price Ol O Ol o -* , Ogden's Daily Close â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ' â€¢ .

Â« gt;'â€¢ lt;? gt;'â€¢ would not have been enough to pay off the $1,250 margin loan. The investor would owe the stockbroker $50. In one month a margin investor would have lost $1,250 and would owe his or her stockbroker $50, for a total loss of $1,300. The investor who didn't buy on margin would have lost $675, because they would have only been able to buy 50 shares with the original $1,250. The percentage loss (54 percent) is the same for each investor, but since the margin investor had twice as much stock they took a larger loss. The margin investor then sells their stock and ended up owing money to their stockbroker. These are the two biggest risks when trading on margin. Advice on sexual, emotional health available at SHAIC resource room By Kasey Halmagyi THE WESTERN FRONT "What herb works best to help boost energy?" "Does my roommate have an eating disorder?" "I can never fall asleep at night; what will help?" Answers to health and wellness questions like these are found at the Student Health and Information Center's resource room. The resource room, located near the back of SHAIC, contains more than 500 books, pamphlets, videos and audio tapes on numerous health related topics. All of this information is available for students to check out, free of charge, for a week. "It's handy for students to have access to books for topics they are writing papers on or for personal use," Catharine Vader, SHAIC coordinator, said. "I've been to Wilson Library, and it doesn't carry a lot of the books we do." The materials in the resource room are organized by topic and have colored stickers indicating what subject they cover. Topics at the center include: emotional and mental health* sexual health, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, physical health, nutrition, fitness and eating disorders. More specific subcategories of these topics are offered at the center, such as contraception, self-help, body image and depression. "The way it's set up helps people easily find what they're looking for," said Heather Piche, lifestyle advisor at the SHAIC. The resource room also has a television and VCR for viewing videos, a computer for looking at a variety of health and wellness Web sites and a Seasonal Affective Disorder light.

He sat with the board- members for the remainder of the meeting. Bolton said he will try to represent the Ethnic Student Center, the Women's Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance and other A.S. Diversity groups. "There are a lot of things that I have to get caught up with as far as the board goes, as well as the student body, so I have to see what the issues are and address them," Bolton said. "I think that maybe a meeting of all groups could possibly tie in what was not represented." Western neighbors want less development, building HAPPY VALLEY, from page 1 Western could not use the abandoned Albertson's grocery store along Old Fairhaven Parkway for a warehouse or offices. "Western will wait until the Happy Valley plan is approved before making any institutional plans," Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce said. Western has already, however, unveiled plans to widen and develop 21st Street where it meets Bill McDonald Parkway. According to Fred Wagner, chair of the Planning and Development Commission, a final Happy Valley Neighborhood Plan will not be adopted by Bellingham City Council until sometime next fall or later after the commission has provided its recommendations.

President Victor Cox said Discussion did not take place in the meeting concerning the removal of Carrel's Web site opinions. Carrel said he still has number of duplexes, such as Adrik's Place, and apartments such as the New York Apartments, also concerned residents. "People want the amount of apartments to slow â€” not because they're anti-apartments but because the area is changing in negative ways," said Donald Gooding, self-appointed liaison between the neighborhood and the city. Charlsee Sprig recently moved to Happy Valley and enjoys the diversity created by mixing low-income housing with more expensive homes and building new homes next to century- old homes which are next to apartments and small commercial pieces. "I am concerned ... by the acquisition of land to build sleazy student housing," Sprig said. Roy Flueger has lived in Happy Valley most of his 82 years. "We do get a little upset at the students, to put it mildly," Flueger said. "I take my life into my own hands every time I back out of my driveway and onto 21st Street." The rezoning of the Superstore to a larger commercial lot as well as adding commercial space across Harris Avenue drew concern from residents. "I support that little market but it's still just a beer-and-ciga-rettes store," Fleuger said. For the last year-and-a-half, residents have been meeting with city planners at Sehome High School to give their input. "We always hear from our politicians that it's our neighborhood," Survey said.

Staples was originally scheduled to perform her "A Tribute to Mahalia Jackson" concert Feb. 19, but severe snowstorms grounded her flight from Chicago, canceling the show. Only a few tickets remained unsold at show time. "After a nearly sold-out house, it was a great disappointment to find out that Mavis would not perform," Performing Arts Center Series Coordinator Tamara McDonald said. "Yet a gracious and sympathetic crowd filled the PAC anticipating that Mavis would return for a rescheduled date." T h e PAC Box Office staff will contact ticket holders by telephone to ask whether they wish to use their Feb. 19 tickets for the r e s c h e d u l e d March 31 concert or desire a refund. Ticket holders who have not yet been contacted are asked to call the PAC Box Office at (360) 650-6146 to state a preference for the ticket. R e m a i n i n g Photo courtesty of PAC tickets for the Mavis Staples will perform March 31. general public are $18 for adults, $16 for family members of Western students and $12 for students while they last. Tickets for the "student rush" can be bought anytime for $6. Box Office hours are noon to 4 p.m. Mondays and noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The Box Office will close during Western's spring break, March 17-28. Staples' concert, part of Western's Centennial Performing Arts Series' celebration of African American history month, is a tribute to the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson. "I believe that this concert will jump out for students as well as community members at large," McDonald said. Staples regards Jackson as her mentor, teacher and friend, and had the honor of inducting Jackson into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Staples, best known as the lead vocalist for The Staples Singers, had hits such as "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself and "Let's Do It Again." The Staples Singers were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Throughout her career, Staples has worked with musicians like Prince, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan and Tom Jones. Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT This band had a hit record once? In England, you say? Interesting. Award-winning Brit band Eels' new record, "Daisies of the Galaxy," is a highly derivative, uninspired effort. Lead singer E leads listeners on a journey to a galaxy that is apparently only populated by people who play organ music that could have been taken directly from the "Austin Powers" soundtrack. 'Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills.' "Daisies" is touted as the antidote to 1998's "Electro-shock Blues," an album about the deaths of E's sister and mother. Eels, essentially, are E, also known as Mark Oliver Everett. He does, however, get help on this album from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee Buffalo. Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills, championing music best described as "alt-pop." E and the boys make an album that at best could only be viewed as a vacant little diversion. With Buck and Philips assisting, one cannot help but think a lot of talent was wasted here. "During the 'Daisies' sessions I realized that we were making two different kinds of records," E said. "One loud, dark and scary; the other acoustic and positive." He apparently chose to release the latter, but the former might have been a little more interesting. While most of this album is boring and insipid, some Eels songs will invariably make it to the radio and then be played ad nauseam in the mall where girls in too-small Tommy Hilfiger T-shirts will wrestle hippy chicks with Guatemalan handbags and butterfly tattoos at the local Sam Goody for this record. The best of the lot is "Flyswatter." Although the lyrics are quite incomprehensible â€” "Field mice, head lice/spiders in the kitchen/don't think twice about whatever keeps you itching," the song is extremely catchy. In fact, listeners may find themselves humming it days after listening to it. It is, unfortunately, one of the few highlights on an otherwise dull album. "It's a sad song because none of the things in.it really happened," E said. "Daisies" hits malls in March. Order your textbooks online. Try our secure online textbook ordering system.... now faster!

By Monica Bell THE WESTERN FRONT The quality and content of the 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit can not be decided merely on the size of the art. The mixed media and various artists provide an exhibit whose merit goes way beyond the minute size of the individual pieces. "You can have a small work that has a lot of meaning and a lot of substance without having these giant pieces that sort of lose themselves in their size," said Adam Jackman, information attendant at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art. The 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit showing in the Viking Union Satellite Gallery at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art utilizes a variety of artists' styles and materials including ceramics, photography, videography, wire work, fabrics and bead work. The works displayed in the exhibit are all from regional art students and had to fit within the size limit of 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. "It seemed extraordinary to me that it was based on the size of what you submitted," said Genevieve Gonska, a graphic design major at Western. "We were looking for a diversity of media, things that fit within the guidelines ... and well-done craftsmanship," said Caroline Knebelsberger, co-coordinator of the VU Gallery and art major. Amber Strawn, the other Gallery co-coordinator said they wanted the pieces not only to be technically good but express an idea or a feeling. As coordinators of the Gallery, Strawn and Knebelsberger decide the themes for the works they wish to display, arrange publicity for the exhibits, balance the budget â€” $8000 per year for at least three shows per quarter â€” talk to the artists and physically hang and arrange the pieces in the exhibits. "A lot of the work that we encourage in shows is student work and this just provides a professional setting for the work to be seen by the public," Knebelsberger said. "It can be really hard for a student to start showing, and it's really important for students to show their artwork to start working on their resume," Strawn said. Gideon Breazeal, a senior art major, has his piece "R. Mutt Cell" displayed as a video in the exhibit. He said this piece deals mainly with a part of the art community where the characters â€” the amoebae symbolizing the collectors and dealers and bacteria representing the artists â€” are more reminiscent of a cartoon than conventional art. "It mainly deals with a section of the art world that views and uses - art as a commodity," Breazeal said. Breazeal achieved the effect of his piece by painting, scanning and manipulating watercolors in a computer to produce the final video, which he said took him about 220 hours to produce. Gonska's piece "Rot" is showing in the Small Works exhibit as well. It displays three seeds in various stages of decay. "I made this because there is something beautiful about inspecting organic things in a controlled way.... I think vagueness can be an asset, and obscurity can be interesting," Gonska said. Maggie Evans, a junior art major at Western, has a piece displayed in the exhibit composed of beads, fabric and a mirror, where the words are reflected back onto the mirror. She said the piece not only followed the requirements of her fibers class but also followed the theme of women having positive feelings and ideas about their sexuality. The premise behind one of two pieces presented by Western senior Sopheay Hun in the exhibit involved her choice to merge her double majors in art and science. She presented a piece entitled "The Microscope Series," which involves 12 prints of colonies similar to what one could find in a lab. "I grew them and cultured them and then took slides of them, and so these are the slides that I took," Hun said. The colonies are not conventional in any sense. They include feathers, safety pins, miniature light bulbs and sub-colonies of America. Admission to the 12x12x12 Small Works exhibit is free. The exhibit shows noon to 5 p.m. March 4 through April 2 "at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art's VU extension gallery. A reception is planned for 5 to 7 p.m. on March 30. Angela Smith / The Western Front Matt Hocker studies a sculpture by Ellen Peterson. by the By Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT Just when you thought the '90s were over and done with, along comes another take on the decade recently past. Veteran Bellingham actor and "self-described play- Angela Smith/The Western Front Walbeck in an act of shameless self- promotion. wright" Sean Walbeck and his local theater group ANBAHAR â€” Absolutely No Budget And Hardly Any Rehearsals â€” present "A Fistful of Walbeck." It is the accumulation of a decade of Walbeck's satirical insight on the happenings of Western, Bellingham and even a little about the world outside Whatcom County. Walbeck bills it as "a collection of short works almost like folk music but without the lucrative financial possibilities." Walbeck is a self-deprecating man with the acerbic sense of humor of Michael Moore and, when he introduces his tribute to the dramatic bit player, "There Are No Small Actors Company," the booming voice of Orson Welles. On rehearsal day, Walbeck, who describes himself as "too liberal for the times," wears a rumpled gray shirt and a brown and gold clip- on tie hanging from the collar of his shirt. He has put together a 90-minute collection of mostly comedic short pieces ranging in length from the one-line "There Are No Small Actors" renditions of dramatic classics such as the "Oresteia" and "Streetcar Named Desire" to a 15-minute play in which each character's lines consist of one word. Despite the brevity of most of the pieces, themes ranging from the aforementioned one-line plays to "Peaces," a series of interrelated monologues based on Walbeck's experience at a Gulf War protest, hold together Walbeck's sharp writing. The six individual speeches in "Peaces", united by the background of the 1991 protests at the Federal Building in Bellingham, are both funny and touching. They range from a harried teacher who unwittingly starts a riot of 5-year-olds at "The Preschool for Creative Nonviolence" to a traumatized pacifist who says, "I love my father, so I hate cap guns." The other interrelated strings are: "Transitions," which includes a poignant soliloquy on childhood disappointment at the circus, "Red Plaid Stories," a two-parter that includes "Bellingham Herald Homophobes" and a fake movie trailer about book banning and school levies that features an avenging band of banned authors. Why Red Plaid Stories? "Everybody on every side of every issue wears red plaid," he said. "It's not a distinguishing characteristic anymore." And "TAFHeads," a sort of catch-all category named after a brand of animal-headed water faucet covers. "Fistful of Walbeck" is not just short skits. It contains "The Kafka Shop," described by Walbeck as "Lit major comedy," and "Regrouping," the story of a recently divorced man arguing with his cat, a story based on the real-life experiences of one of Walbeck's good friends, a ^science fiction novelist. The best of the stand-alones is the 15-minute-long "Closing Time," a parody of the David Mamet school of "drama of the inarticulate." This play, in which each line is just one word, details the semiliterate communication of three pizza parlor workers who find they must close the restaurant early because they bought tickets for a concert on a night they should be working. "A Fistful of Walbeck" runs at the Seattle Fringe Festival for five performances at Theater Shmeater, tonight through March 18. ---------- Western Front 2000 March 10 - Page 9 ---------- March 10, 2000 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 9 Daniel Peters THE WESTERN FRONT Twist, turn, leap and throw may sound like a great play at second base, but it also applies to modern dance. The Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company won't be playing baseball at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it brings its innovative choreography to the Performing Arts Center's main stage. "Modern dance is the dance of ideas," Western dance program director Nolan Dennet said. "The idea â€” the choreography â€” is what we serve," he said. Dennet said the traveling company, based in Salt Lake City, invited him to view a regular season performance there. The company takes between eight and 12 weeks out of its season to bring its production to other cities. "Sometimes we go into a community and do one outreach and one performance," company founder Joan Woodbury said, "It depends on the sponsor." This time the sponsor is Dennet, who scheduled class, time for the six company dancers to help teach classes throughout the week including a performance for public middle and high school students. "I told them to fill it up," Dennet said of the PAC. "There will probably be 300 (people)." In addition to teaching classes and performing, the company will include three Western dancers: Andrew Anderson, Sarah Frewen and Kathy Pottratz in "Tensile Involvement" by Alwin Nikolais. The piece includes the use of 'If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off.' Nolan Dennett Dance program director eight large elastic bands suspended from the ceiling and incorporates Nikolais' signature mechanical movement. The piece is more about physical effects and not emotional depth, Dennet said, explaining how his students would overcome the obstacle of learning the piece by Saturday with only three rehearsals. "If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off," he said. Emmy Thomson, the company's associate artistic director said the company has amassed a large repertoire of choreographed works to draw from and invites its presenter to create a performance befitting the sponsor's audience. Woodbury and Shirley Ririe brought Thomson in to eventually take over the company. "They've been my teachers for 20 years," Thomson said. Thomson said she danced for five years with the company in the 80s and went on to teach dance in Minnesota until the company eventually asked her to consider taking over. Thomson said the company works hard to bring dance to everyone. "Everyone has a creative well inside them â€” if you can bring that out in a child that is troubled, it makes all the difference," she said. Dance made the difference for second-year company dancer Aaron Draper. He said he chose it and a Spanish major over three years of engineering. "At U.C. Davis (dance) was under physical education," Draper said. "So I probably took 50 dance credits while I was there." Draper said within a year of his first college dance class he was performing. "If you're a male in dance â€” it's like one in 40 â€” whenever they need a male you get that role," he said. "It's something about Bellingham," Dennet said about Western's number of male dancers. "Everywhere else I've taught there has been one guy and when he graduates you're lucky to get a replacement." The company will also perform "Wien" by Pascal Rioult. The piece is "about a society spi-raling into decadence before the holocaust," Thomson said. The dancers perform "Wien" with such intensity they can barely stand for a bow at its conclusion, Thomson said. Tickets for the performance are available at the PAC box office. Prices are $18 for adults and $12 for children and students. gt;an PetersTThe Western Front Christine Hasegawa holds a pose while Juan Carlos Claudio snaps Liberty Valentine's neck during a rehearsal. :WORKS OF THE Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Two visitors take a peak at "Spawning Ground." By Bronlea Hawkins THE WESTERN FRONT More than 70 colorful and oddly symmetrical wire sculptures dangle like pinatas from the ceiling of the Arco Exhibition Building. Thin filaments of wire seem to grow from a floor lamp glowing with eerie yellow light. A collection of "eggs" sit atop a round, sandy nest in the middle of the floor. "Un/natural World" brings 15 years of Lanny Bergner's work together in one building. Bergner's exhibit challenges the traditional nature of sculpture in both medium and presentation. Spotlighting his sculptures against the museum's black walls makes each piece seem removed from the rest of the exhibit. The disquieting techno music playing softly in the background adds to a somewhat unsettled atmosphere. In one corner, a series of nine conical, cocoon-shaped objects hangs from the ceiling, just above eye level. One nearly touches the ground; the others stop three feet short. Some are glazed with silicone with tiny, delicately placed needles circling from top to bottom. Another, "Persona III," is decorated with carpet tacks with the points facing outward, resulting in a striking resemblance to a medieval mace. In the middle of the exhibit, large amoeba-like wire sculptures hang at varying levels. Many resemble organisms one might see through a microscope; "Cold Stones," a collection of artificial rocks occupies a back, corner. Some "rocks" are pure white, others a mottled grey. Several flying saucer-like objects hover at chest level, directly behind a nest of eggs called "Spawning Ground." Wires spring like tentacles from from many of the sculptures. Museum visitors often seem unprepared for the strange and surreal nature of the exhibit. Some linger, looking quizzically at each piece, often matching up each sculpture with its name. Others glance quickly around and deciding this kind of art isn't for them, leave hastily. A former art instructor referred Bellingham resident John Hastings to the exhibit. His first reaction was to "take all this in as something weird." Hastings said however, he decided to spend time looking carefully and thinking about the names of the sculptures. His conclusion? "I wondered why he did it." Despite the mixed reactions of some viewers, Whatcom Museum chief curator Scott Walli, said, "Un/natural" World has been breaking attendance records. Attendance in December of 1999 was up 62 percent over the same month in 1998. The show is its own environment, Wallin said, and people are intrigued by it. "We felt that it would be very successful with a wide range of visitors," he said. One sunny Sunday, 170 people viewed the exhibit in five hours. Bergner has appeared in many craft shows around the Bellingham area, where Wallin first saw his work. Bergner states in the exhibits program that his sculptures record "feelings about how I viewed the world around me." He said he is fascinated by transforming common household items into something unusual and "organic in appearance." In addition to more common materials, Bergner also uses silicone and hydrocal. Inspired by the natural world, he said he creates art that "celebrates the wonder of it all." "Un/natural World" runs through March 19 at the Arco Exhibition Building in downtown Bellingam.

Greenen, one of the team's captains, will not let her torn left ACL stop her from playing her last season on the team. It may, however, stop her from playing third base as much and keep her behind home plate as catcher, which is her favorite position anyway. "Last year I played catcher 50 percent of the time and third base 50 percent of the time," Greenen said. "But since I tore my ACL last November, playing third is harder on my knee than playing catcher." Because side-to-side movements are more difficult for Greenen, she anticipates playing catcher most of the time. Greenen said she's nervous about her knee, but it won't stop the team from winning. She is convinced the team will do well, partly because of the team's talent and partly because the players have a close relationship with one another. "We're very close-knit," Greenen said. "There are no big problems, and everyone gets along, which is rare on a larger team." Catcher and third baseman Katie Osmundson, who played with Greenen the past four years, agreed with her. "Every girl is out to help every other girl," Osmundson said. Osmundson said Greenen helps out tremendously and has a concern for her teammates. "Andie is probably my inspiration," Osmundson said. "I look at Andie and watch her play ball, and she inspires me to go out and play 110 percent." Osmundson said she has never heard Greenen complain about anything, especially her knee. "I don't think she's human," Osmundson said. "She's a machine or something." Osmundson said when she heard Greenen tore her ACL she was not surprised Greenen would play this season. "That's just Andie," Osmundson said. "She's a very dedicated player, and I can't see her making any other decision." Greenen's knee doesn't affect her often and most of the time she is lighthearted, Osmundson said. "If I get frustrated in a game, Andie will always crack a joke or RETIREMENT I INSURANCE M U T (J A I F U N 0 5 TRUST SERVICES TUITION FINANCING TIAA-CREF's tax-deferred solutions can help you reach your retirement goals faster.

Osmundson said Greenen never criticizes players for making mistakes and is supportive of everyone, which in turn encourages players to do their best. "She's an intense player, and she makes you play up to her level," Osmundson said. Softball coach Art Phinney said he agrees with Osmundson. "We just can't say enough about her," Phinney said. "She's one of the most explosive players we've seen here." Phinney also said that Greenen inspires players to improve. "She's extremely inspirational," Phinney said. "She motivates with actions and not words and is a strong example of what a player should be." After the season he said he will be sorry to have Greenen leave. "You always miss players when they graduate," Phinney said. "But some players become a little (more deeply) entwined in your heart than others."

Joseph leads Western's base-stealing attack. By Joe Wiederhold THE WESTERN FRONT Being at the other end of Gym D as Western fastpitch Softball team sluggers Sonya Joseph and Stacia Varney hit is like being downrange at a gun club. Varney and Joseph are two of six starters returning from a team that went 33-13 and beat No. 1 Humboldt State University twice. Incoming freshmen make up *for the loss of several standout players to graduation. Co-captain Katie Osmundson has complete confidence in the freshman class. "In the past you always (had) to wait and let the freshman mature," she said. "I think the majority of (our freshmen) are ready talent-wise and mental-wise." "I think these freshmen are gonna step up and do their job and get us to where we need to be this year â€” the playoffs,'' infielder Carlena Herd said. Head coach Art Phinney calls his freshman pitchers "young guns." They are only part of a freshman class that gives this year's team added depth. "We feel like we're deeper," with more talent, than we've ever (had)," Phinney said. "It's going to be numerous different heroes every time we play. There are so many people that have the ability to step up and take charge of the ball game." Several returning players put up amazing numbers last year. Catcher-third baseman Andie Greenen batted .378 with 48 hits, both team-leading and earning second-team all-star honors in the PacWest. Outfielder Joseph added 16 stolen bases to bring her career base-stealing record to 48 in as many attempts. Shortstop and co-captain Darcy Taylor batted .342 with 19 RBIs. Second baseman Coni Posey was also a second-team PacWest all-star, hitting .333 with 18 RBIs. As a freshman, Hope Truitt won a school-record 15 games with an ERA of 1.19 and pitched a nine-inning shutout against Humboldt State. "Looking at her, you wouldn't think she's a pitcher, but she dominates out there," co-captain Joseph said. "I think Hope Truitt has a pivotal role this year being the only pitcher with collegiate experience," Taylor said. Co-captain Greenen said team unity is as strong as her sophomore year when Western won the NAIA National Championship. "Camaraderie is better than it's ever been," center fielder Varney said. Viking women travel to PacWest regional tourney THE WESTERN FRONT Western's women's basketball team enters the PacWest regional tournament in Pomona, Calif. Friday as the No. 2 seed, with a 24-3 record. The Vikings received a bye for Thursday's opening round and will play the winner of the University of Alaska Anchorage Central Washington University game Friday. "The bye is really big," head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "We beat Seattle Pacific in overtime last year. The next day (in a semifinal loss to Montana State- Billings) we ran out of steam in the second half. Getting that bye was a real goal for us." The tournament's winner earns a spot in the Elite. Eight at Pine Bluff, Ark. on March 22, 23 and 25. Other teams in the tournament include MSU-Billings, SPU and Cal Poly Pomona. Western faced all five tournament teams. The Vikings were 9-2 in those games, the only losses coming 74-68 at Cal Poly Pomona and 62-51 at Central. This is Western's third straight appearance in a national tournament. The Vikings reached the NAIA Division I tournament in 1998. Seniors Celeste Hill and Amanda Olsen lead the Vikings in scoring at 16.3 and 13.7 points per game, respectively. Center Lisa Berendsen is shooting a school-record 67 percent from the field (124 of 185). Guard Jodie Kaczor has hit 50 percent of her 3-point shots in the last five games. Sophomore guard broke into starting line-up midseason, never looked back Meghan Pattee THE WESTERN FRONT The majority of Western sophomore guard Jodie Kaczor's time is spent playing basketball. Kaczor's dad was a junior high coach and encouraged her to get involved with basketball at a young age. She began playing with the Amateur Athletic Union's Seattle Magic in sixth grade and continued through her senior year in high school. During this time she also played three years of varsity basketball for Federal Way High School along with three ' Jodie's a very coachable player. She's smart and picks up on things quicker than a lot of people.' Gina Sampson Assistant basketball coach years of varsity soccer and soft-ball. Her junior year she helped her basketball team win the Class 4A state title and earned second-team all-state honors. Her senior year she earned Tacoma News Tribune all-area first team and all-South Piiget Sound League while captain of her team. During her freshman year at Western, Kaczor played in 29 games. . As a sophomore, she is second in all-time 3-point percentage (42.7) and averages nearly six points per game and more than seven in league play. Kaczor chose to play at Western, after receiving an offer from the University of Denver Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Jodie Kaczor launches one of her 89 3-point shots this season. Her hot shooting has sparked Western's offense. because of the great program, coach and to be closer to home, she said. "I love the area and I loved playing with Ruthie (Taylor) in high school," Kaczor said. "I thought it would be great to keep playing together." "Playing together (in high school) was a blast," sophomore forward Ruth Taylor said. "We know each other really, really well. We knew (in college) we'd be able to lean on each other. "She's my girl and a leader emotionally," Taylor said. "On the court she is somebody you can look to for that big shot." "What's great about basketball is you get a chance (to) express yourself and go crazy on the court," Kaczor said. "You get to expressâ€žall your emotions." "She's very calming and stable to teammates, which is nice to have on the floor," assistant coach Gina Sampson said. "Jodie's a very coachable player," Sampson added. "She's smart and picks up on things quicker than a lot of people." Kaczor said she wants to win it all this season. "We're doing really well, and we've- figured out what we need to do as a team," she said. "That is, everyone can and does contribute." Kaczor is undecided in her major but is leaning toward business. "It's what my dad wants, so I thought I would give it a try," she said. Eventually she wants to coach basketball starting at the high school level and progress to the college level. "She's great," Sampson said. "She'll be a great coach someday because she knows the game so well."

Gary Locke said the initiative would "abolish affirmative action and hurt real people." Washington state still faces a crisis of diversifying its higher learning institutions within the confines of the relatively new law. These institutions must take the issue of diversity into their own hands by actively preparing younger students for entrance into a college or university. Western's minority students comprised only 13.3 percent, 1,546 people, of the total student population in 1998. Washington voters can't expect the state's schools to level the playing field without actively saving enrollment spots for minority students. The end of affirmative action effectively took away any advantage minorities had in competing with the already-advantaged 88.5-percent white population in Washington. This majority must speak up for the underrepresented, and unless voters overturn 1-200, these freedom fighters must find another means to guarantee equal hiring and enrollment. The solution to the legal blockades of 1-200 lies with outreach programs. It is still very legal to encourage minority students to attend in-state institutions and help them compete with other students for admission. The American Civil Liberties Union recently filed a lawsuit in California, a state that passed similarly phrased Proposition 209, charging that disadvantaged and ethnic minority students whose high schools offer few or no Advanced Placement courses are at a disadvantage in competing with students who can access more AP courses. Only 61 percent of Washington state high schools offer such courses. These courses and other opportunities for college credit such as Running Start in high school indicate academic excellence to college admissions officers. By increasing access to them, students could strive for admission into the college of their choice. Schools also need to encourage students to take these classes to prepare them for college-level academic work. Some in-state colleges and universities send recruiters to state high schools. The University of Washington promotes early outreach, going as far as kindergarten to ensure students motivate themselves to be candidates for college education. Western sends admissions information to all students of color who take the PSAT test and encourages ethnic minority students at Western to participate in the Western Experience Program (returning to their high schools for informal recruitment) and the Vike Admit (calling all newly admitted students to answer any questions). Individually, Western students can and should encourage diversity by participating in these programs and spreading the word. Additionally, Western's newly formed Project Kaleidoscope is working to promote and instill diversity into the curriculum by adding more classes dealing with race and minority issues. This will undoubtedly earn Western a reputation for being an open-minded institution. The presence and influence exhibited by Western's Ethnic Student Center and other Resource and Outreach Programs speaks to a student population that refuses to sit idle and be content with a specialized population. The death of legalized affirmative action in Washington did not and cannot stop diversity. While 1-200 slowed the progress of equality in Washington, the concerned efforts of dedicated, edu- Frontlines are the opinion of The Western Front editorial board: Krisien Hawley, Alex P.

City council needs to take a stand GP water rates need to be decided locally instead of in state courts^ April Uskoski COMMENTARY The Bellingham City Council made only a weak 5-to-2 vote concerning a referendum of Bellingham's water rates for the Georgia Pacific Corp., leaving many to question the validity and strength of the council. The council passed an ordinance on Dec. 14 amending the Bel-lingham municipal codes relating to the city's water utility. â€¢ The ordinance established a special "industrial" water-use category with a rate close to one-tenth of what all other Bellingham businesses pay. The catch is it applies only to GP. Concerned citizens presented a petition seeking a referendum, or a direct public vote, on the proposed ordinance. The council had to determine whether the referendum petition was qualified to be on the ballot. Instead of making a decision â€” that was in their power â€” the council voted to send it to a superior court judge for the court to determine the validity of the petition. It states in the city's governing body in the Revised Codes of Washington 35.92.010 that the council had the power to establish "classes of water users for the rate purposes." Water rates can be set by the council because it issues the bonds necessary to finance the water system. Why is it then that the council insists on straying from its 'It is the right and responsibility of the of the council to set the water rates ...' direct power and displacing the decision to someone else? Are these the people who Bellingham residents have elected to make legislative decisions for them? Sending the referendum to a judge, who undoubtedly will rule the petition as invalid, relays to the public the work the council has done thus far in establishing water rates is invalid. Why not spare the taxpayers and everyone else any unnecessary litigation and expenses and make a decision â€” take a stand. A number of cases are similar to the council's situation that deal with power concerning a referendum. An example is the case of Haas vs. Pomeroy. Citizens of Pomeroy submitted a petition for a referendum to amend the city's water utility rates. The Washington state Supreme Court said the power to fix utility rates was "vested exclusively in the City's corporate authorities" and denied the referendum be submitted to the voters. It is the right and responsibility of the council to set the water rates, so voters are curious why the council didn't take that right and act on it. The public process used in establishing the ordinance resulted in a fair and legal one. Hesitation and displacement of power are not the keys to this legislative authority, and it is not the obligation of the council to waste the time of taxpayers by making them make the decisions the council should have made in the beginning.

In her letter of resignation, she cites lack of communication as her reason for leaving. She communicated nothing to us, however, before releasing the letter to The Front. In our closed meeting, she revealed other reasons. Again, to protect her right to privacy, I am not free to discuss her issues, except to call them "personal" reasons.

A custodian found the note, which had been pushedunder the door of the Black Unified Students office, and gave it to Schuster Friday morning. Schustersaid he immediately called representatives from the BUS, the Office of Student Life, Campus Police andVice President of Student Affairs Thomas Quinlan. Quinlan said a rumor of a second note turned out tobe a misunderstanding about the first note, which read, "Death to Niggers." "As far as we can tell, itwas just that one isolated incident," Quinlan said. He added he hopes no organized group isresponsible and that the note was the act of just one "deranged mind." Sgt. William Ritsema said thecampus police are investigating the note. Members of the BUS met Friday afternoon in closed sessionto discuss the note and determine what, if anything, could be done. Ted Pratt, a member of the BUS,said the meeting was closed to the public because "we have to find out where we are with this." Mark Robertson, BUS president, said the group will meet again at 4 p.m. today for further discussion.Associated Students President Greg Sobel told Robertson before the meeting Friday that he wasavailable if needed. "This is disgraceful," Sobel said. "It is the action of a sick mind. I hope it was justone sick mind and not many." Detective Sgt. Duane Schenck of the Bellingham Police Dept. saidSunday he had not heard of any Ku Klux Klan activity in the Bellingham area. In January, a group ofpeople who called themselves the "Junior KKK" distributed leaflets in three dormitories at the Universityof Washington, Ed Russell, resident-adviser of the UW's Haggett Hall, said. The leaflets drew nosupport, he said. "The RA's were angry but they decided to downplay it and it just died out. "You know, it's just the l percent of 1 percent that makes it so obnoxious for the rest of the campus," he added. Kitchen: Olscamp grilled by Jim Segaar University President Paul Olscamp has received a letterfrom a state representative investigating the use of student funds for last year's renovation of his school-provided residence. The letter, from Rep. Eugene Prince, R-9th District, questions the use of $23,000 ofstudent funds to remodel the kitchen in the president's house. Olscamp said many of the questions asked in the letter will be answered by the Board of Trustees. Others will be answered by himself andWestern's lawyers, he said. "It's not my home and I didn't make the decisions," Olscamp said. He saidBoard of Trustees Chairman Curtis Dalrymple will prepare the answer to the letter. The university ownsthe house, which its presidents use. Dalrymple said he expects to have the response ready in a weekor two. He first saw the letter Thursday afternoon, he said. In his letter, Prince asks if information hewas given by Western's Associated Students concerning the kitchen decision is true. Prince writes hewas told the trustees approved the used of $23,000 in student money for the kitchen project in executivesession March 6, last year. The customary procedures for such an appropriation were not followed. 1When students asked for records of the decision, the trustees refused because they said students werenot involved in the remodeling of the president's kitchen. Dalrymple said the usual procedures were not followed in the decision because it would have taken an additional six months. During that time, inflation would have pushed the price up, he said. This refusal was made April 4, 1980, by Ark Chin, thenchairman of the trustees. Prince asks why student funds were used, if students were not involved inthe remodeling. The letter also asks if it is true the funds used were returned to the students after theproject was completed. Prince also questioned if the action was consistent with Substitute House Bill 1480, which outlines students' rights concerning Service and Activities funds. He asks what additional action either the Legislature or Western's administration can take to further insure student involvementin decisions affecung student funds. Neither Olscamp nor Dalrymple wished to comment on thecontent of the letter or their response before Prince has received their answer. Trustees defer to AS byAbby Haight Several "little" concessions granted the Associated Students Board of Directors by theBoard of Trustees may gain students a larger voice in administrative decisions, AS president Greg Sobelsaid. A questionnaire from the AS board asking for clarification on athletic decisions and the Service and Activities fee-split process was discussed by the trustees at a meeting Thursday. Sobel said thetrustees' answers were important, if only because they now are on record. Sobel said the agreement toreview raising women's and men's soccer and women's crew to varsity standing in 1981-82 was important because "it shows some concession to student views by the trustees." The AS board now will be able to go directly to Assistant Attorney General Stuart Allen to discuss legal problems that may arise betweenthe Associated Students and the administration, Sobel said. Previously, the AS board had to gothrough Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Quinlan before speaking with Allen. The trusteesagreed to consider "with open minds" all recommendations made by the S A fee-split committee. Bylaw, a majority of students sit on that committee. The trustees also agreed to "respect .the legitimacy of student involvement in all university decisions." The AS board's request for a rewording of the minutesfrom the Feb. 5 trustee meeting also was approved. The minutes had read that the AS board's decision to drop funding of football was based on that sport's high cost. Sobel said the board dropped the sportbecause University President Paul Olscamp did not raise soccer and women's crew to varsity status andthe lack of student involvement in the decision. The original statement was struck from the minutes, anda statement of the AS board's position was inserted. - "We are asserting ourselves in little ways," Sobelsaid. ---------- Western Front - 1981 March 10 - Page 2 ---------- Bus shuttle expands runs by David Mason Changes mayjbe made in Western's shuttle and Park 'n'Ride bus service next quarter. â€¢ Under proposed changes, the shuttle buses, which run at night, willleave and return to campus in either direction on High Street, Director of Housing Keith Guy said.Currently buses leave the Viking Union to the south and return from that direction. The Housing andDining Committee must approve the changes. In another proposed change, daytime Park 'n' Rideservice may add evening runs to its schedule, Business Manager Jack Cooley said. The proposal fornew runs "is in the discussion stage," Cooley said. Western needs service beyond that provided by thehousing office's evening shuttle buses, he said. The Park 'n' Ride bus travels between Miller Hall and the Belling-ham Mall. Riders park their cars at no charge along the perimeter of the mall's parking lot.The number of Park V Ride passengers has grown, Cooley said. One hundred and fifty people ride thebus each day, he said. But Guy said January statistics show few passengers on two routes added tothe evening shuttle service. Five people rode buses on those routes most nights in January, andsome nights no one was aboard the buses on the newest routes, he said. The housing director said hedidn't have February passenger statistics yet. Jenny Blecha A future Western student explores theinside of the Serra sculpture, with its vast collection of graffiti. Soviet physicist Art-upkeep budget nearbeams home by David Mason Soviet physicist Eugene Kolo-meets leaves Western for the East Coasttoday. Kolomeets and Western physicist Peter Kotzer worked together this quarter on a proposal tobeam neutrinos from the United States to the Soviet Union. Neutrinos are massless, charge-lessparticles that come from the sun and go through all matter. Kotzer has applied to several U.S. agencies, including the Dept. of Energy, for the United States' half of a $6 million joint grant from the U.S. andSoviet governments. The Western physicist also has applied for federal funding for a visit next year to the Soviet Union, where Kotzer and Kolomeets would continue their work, Jane Clark, director of Western's bureau for faculty research, said. In addition to his work with Kotzer, Kolomeets taught a weeklyphysics seminar at Western this quarter. The American and Soviet physicists' Project UNCLE(Undersea Cosmic Lepton Experiments) could lead to world communications that require no satellitesor copper wiring, Kotzer said when he announced the project last January. by Nancy WalbeckAlthough the Art Acquisition Committee has not submitted a formal budget proposal for the maintenance of Western's outdoor art collection, a previously written financial memo could be resurrected and sentto Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbot for his approval. The memo, written last spring,asks for more than $6,000 annually to maintain the artworks. The proposal includes painting, cleaning, placement of bronze markers and other maintenance. Some committee members said the 1980 memowas forwarded to Talbot's office, but the vice president maintains he has seen no such document. Acopy of the proposal was sent to H. A. "Barney" Goltz in the University Planning Office. Eric Nasburg,campus architect and a member of the committee, said the figures in the original memo might have tobe updated and that Talbot has asked for guidelines before making a decision. "In my perspective, itappears Talbot would be interested in having Maintenance and Operations take over continuingoperations and expenses," Nasburg said. "Talbot is beginning to realize something needs to be done,"he added. Larry Hanson, also a member of the committee, said it is the university's responsibility tomaintain the sculptures, although he expressed worry about the added financial drain to Maintenanceand Operations' budget. The recycled budget memo applies only to upkeep and general repair andis not designed to address the continuing vandalism problem. Committee Chairman Richard Francissaid, however, he is more concerned that constant cleaning of the art structures, especially "Serra" and"Caro," will destroy the special rust finishes inherent to their esthetic value. "It's very complicated toclean the pieces," Francis said. "The rust is protection and also adds texture to the pieces." Franciswas pessimistic about controlling vandalism of the artworks, commenting that he saw "no solution tothis long-range problem." High court to review campus religious suit by Barb Jarvis The outcome of asuit between Western administrators and campus religious groups may depend on the result of apending Supreme Court review of a similar case. The Western case, Dittman, et al. vs. Western, nowis before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Widmar vs. Vincent, involving the University of Missouriat Kansas City, had been decided in favor of religious groups by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Apeals inAugust of last year. Attorneys for the religious groups at Western said they do not think the high courtwill decide the Missouri case before the 9th circuit court ruling. The question in both cases is whichclause of the First Amendment takes precedence in cases concerning the separation of church andstate. Aside from the Establishment Clause, the Free Exercise Clause and the Freedom of SpeechClause, Western's case also involves a question of prior restraint. The administrations at Western andMissouri maintain allowing regular and recurring use of campus facilities for religious activity isendorsement of religion and a violation of federal and state constitutions. The religious groups contend these prohibitions against practice are an abridgement of their right of religious exercise, and that theyare being discriminated against because of the content of their speech. The question of prior restraintin Western's case is a result of the permit system used by Viking Union administrators Jack Smith andKevin Majkut when the activity to take place in a requested space is in doubt. A disclaimer must besigned stating no religious worship, exercise or instruction will be conducted before the group isallowed use of the space. Petition hits 1,000 by Ben Verkerk Western senior Jess Giessel has not yetcompleted his petition to rename the Performing Arts Center after JohnLennon but he is not giving itup. Giessel, a Beatles' fan since he was 13, said Thursday he would like to finish the petition by the end of next quarter when he plans to graduate. He is discouraged, he said, because he has not had enough time and help to circulate the petition. But he should finish it in the spring "when I have more energy," he said. More than 1,000 persons have signed the petition to rename the PAC the John Lennon Centerfor Performing Arts. Giessel started the petition shortly after Lennon's death in November, hoping toobtain 5,000 signatures. Giessel admitted in January his petition has only a slight chance of success,adding the administration might not be receptive to his idea. When buildings have been named afterpeople, those ' individuals were connected with Western Steve Inge, acting chairman of the CapitalNomenclature Committee, said in January. Lift 'botched' by Lorna Chew Ongoing construction of anelevator for handicapped students is scheduled for completion during finals week next quarter. "Therewas no forethought of what the long-range implications would be, and the entire project is a botch and abungle," David Marsh, acting chairman of the art department, said. "The elevator is running monthsbehind schedule, because of shortsightedness. It will be an expensive solution by the time it iscompleted," March said. Construction of the handidcap-access elevator originally was set at$160,000, and began during Christmas break, Marsh said. The cab for the elevator is due to arrive forinstallation by the first week in June, Marsh added. The cost of the elevator at this point is $170,000, and Marsh said he estimates another $100,000 is needed for additional art gallery space. The constructionof the elevator has cut the gallery space by 25 percent, Marsh said. The visual communication'sclassroom on the first floor is smaller because of this construction, and the painting studio has beendamaged by the poor planning of a staircase built at the far end of the studio, Marsh said. The size ofthis staircase takes up valuable studio space, Marsh said. The staircase initially was to serve as a route to the mezzanine above the paint studio, where four department teachers have offices, Marsh said.Constructing a stairway was not necessary, because of access to the mezzanine offices through adoor located in the art gallery, Marsh concluded. Handicap Awareness Three major events, speakersand films are planned for next quarter's two-week Handicapped Awareness program, Glen Huff said. Huffis president of the Organization for Handicapped Students. A basketball game between Western'svarsity team and a professional handicapped team, an obstacle course in Red Square and ascavenger hunt in dorms are events slated for the April 18 to May 2 program, Huff said. The group wroteto University President Paul Olscamp requesting official recognition of the program. Since 1981 isthe International Year of Disabled Persons, Huff said the group anticipates Olscamp-s cooperation. ---------- Western Front - 1981 March 10 - Page 3 ---------- ^ ^ ^ 5 . ^ v ^ 3 f Â» j : j a j 3 Sâ€¢^P^ s-^m^T^^^ #m^m ^^^ gt;m^ ^FÂ®m^ Coffeeshop smokers shuntedaside by Jim Bacon T he Associated Students Facilities Council unanimously approved newregulations Thursday to restrict smokers in the Viking Addition Coffee Shop to the small room at thecoffee shop's south end. The new regulations are scheduled to take effect at the beginning of springquarter. Under the new rules, the larger main room of the coffee shop will become the non-smoking area. The small, room, which usually closes at 3 p.m., will remain open until the coffee shop's normalclosing time. The council's decision, unless appealed to the AS Board of Directors, is final. ASPresident Greg Sobel said the board could overturn the decision, or uphold it for a trial period whilegathering student opinion on the council's decision. A poll conducted by the council indicatedoverwhelming support for moving the smoking area. Of 183 people responding, 62.8 percent favored achange. Information was gathered primarily from questionnaires placed atop the cigarette machine inthe coffee shop. Some people also personally were asked their opinion. DesMond Reid, FacilitiesCouncil â€¢ representative at-large, said after the meeting a 1 to 2 percent margin for error existed in the results. â€¢ . _ Sobel, however, said later he did not think the poll was statistically valid. He said he"would have done it differently, but that was a decision made by the council members." Sobel said the survey was an additional measure. "My understanding was they were inclined to make that decision inthe first place," he added. Normally the council decides an issue based primarily on discussion amongits members. At its Feb. 5 meeting, however, it was suggested a survey be taken before a decision wasmade. The issue arose after several people complained they had to walk through smoke to get to thenon-smoking area. Coffee shop manager John Greenleaf said SAGA officials told the council late inJanuary that several people had asked if the smoking and non-smoking sections could be switched.Many non-smokers said they believed a smoking section was necessary but claimed more non-smokers used the coffee shop. He said they were told they "would have to go through the studentcouncils" to get such a policy changed. Facilities Council Chairman Chuck van der Linden said afterThursday's meeting that several people also had complained to the Associated Students about theproblem. Claudia North 'Save Our Colleges' garners wide support by Caryn Shetterly Campus andcommunity response to the Save Our Colleges petition has been unexpectedly positive, Western'sliaison for the statewide movement said. "Response has been heartening," Pete Steffens, localchairman of Save Our Colleges, said in a phone interview. "It's good, for a change. It shows there's areaction to budget cuts." Steffens is a journalism professor. The Bellingham petition is part of theWashington Federation of Teachers' drive to increase support in the state budget of higher education.Steffens said more than 2,000 signatures have been collected at Western since the petition was startedlast week. He said local WFT members hope to have 10,000 signatures by next Monday. -Manycommunity members have signed petitions and some have taken blank petitions to circulate amongfriends and coworkers, Steffens said. "Mayor Ken Hertz signed and is circulating a petition to all thedepartments in City Hall," Steffens said. He also said Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount had apetition on the desk of his office reception area. Eugene Hogan, local president of the AmericanFederation of Teachers, said he knew the public supported colleges. "People in Bellingham believe inhigher education," Hogan said. "We just had to make the effort to identify individuals." Steffens saidWestern's Board of Trustees signed the petition and promised to circulate others, haven't done anythinglike this for a long time. The union has, but not with such community response." He said Save OurColleges is reaching out to all faculty Steffens said he is surprised by the widespread support of thecampus and the community. "We were just so busy putting it together," he said. "Teachersmembers, union and non-union, as well as to administrators and students. "Students are great," he said. "They've been gathering signatures and manning a table in the VU plaza." Next Monday, petitions from across the state will be sent to the AFT head offices in Seattle. AS sets revamp dates by MikeBrotherton The Associated Students Review and Reorganization Committee presented a timeline Fridayfor completing its six-month effort to renovate the AS organizational structure. A pre-general electionstudent vote also was scheduled. According to the committee's schedule the AS Board of Directors willact on the committee's recommendations March 16. If approved by the board, the committee'sproposed bylaws for the Associated Students will be presented for student action April 14 and 15,committee members said. The meeting was an open hearing on the committee's work thus far.Council representatives and other students attended to question the committee's suggestions foroverhaul of the AS organizational structure.

Need for reorganization is the result of poor decisions onthe part of AS boards in the past "when boards-bought everybody's reason for a program," Jack Smith,committee member and Viking Union director said. Among the recommendations proposed by thereorganization committee is a nine-member board of directors. If students approve the committee'srewrite of the AS bylaws, nine positions intead of 10 will be up for election, thus the need for a pre-general election ratification vote. Among the committee's other recommendations for a moremanageable AS structure is the establishment of four councils, rather that the five councils nowunder AS governance. Of these four, the Activities Council is proposed to oversee all AS groups thatpresent programming. It is subdivided by 'advisory committees to the board of directors. As proposed by the reorganization committee, the coordinating subcommittee over clubs and other "special interest"groups would receive first budget cutbacks in the event of financial embarassments similar to thoseexperienced at the outset of fall quarter.

Jammed in among other items on the agenda, the trusteesfound time to pass a so-called "resolution of appreciation" for Chuck Randall, the former men's basketballcoach who got the boot last month after 18 years with the team. It was a scene guaranteed to bring tears to the hardest veteran of university politics, as Olscamp and the trustees smeared a sugar coating ofsentimentality over the raw wound left by Randall's "resignation." â€¢Trustee Jerrold Manley, who onceplayed for Randall, introduced the resolution detailing the former coach's numerous accomplishmentsduring his time at Western. "He has done one hell of a job over the last 18 years," Olscamp added,and expressed regret that Randall's "failing health" had forced an early end to his career. Curiouslyabsent from this eulogy was any mention of the fact that Randall's supposedly debilitating heart attackoccurred seven years ago, or any explanation of why he had not "resigned" then instead of now, if thistruly was the reason for his departure. Also absent was the coach himself. But perhaps Randall couldnot bear to see this travesty played out. And who could blame him? Even those who hardly knew theman found the whole mawkish scene disgusting. For Randall, who alone knows the real story behind hisdeparture, the episode would have been heartbreaking. Last hope Despite continuous pooh-poohing bylegislators, it appears inevitable that the,cost of higher|education in Washington state will acceleratedramatically next year, while its quality will deteriorate at a frightening pace. In fact, hardly a day passeswhen some brazen legislator doesn't propose yet another program cut or tuition hike, further hasteningthis shameless trend. Yet the chorus of exhortations to "remain calm" continues unabated. Meanwhile,faculty salaries at Washington's public colleges and universities continue to dropâ€”from among thehighest in the nation 12 years ago to the bottom third currently. During the same period, the percentageof state general fund support of universities has declined by one-third, to 10.4 from 15.2 percent. As aresult, outmoded training equipment has become a fact of life and classrooms already have become socrowded that instructors plead with students to drop their courses so no one will have to sit on the floor.The list of casualties is endless. Can anything be done to halt this alarming trend? The answerisâ€”maybe. Fed up with the indignities heaped daily on the state's universities, the AmericanFederation of Teachers has initiated a "Save Our Colleges" movement to galvanize support for highereducation before it is too late. / Petitions currently are being circulated at Western and across the statecalling for a renewed commitment to the quality of education at Washington's colleges and universities.Every Western student should make a special effort to sign his or her name to one of these petitionsâ€”itmay be the last chance to save our colleges before the damage caused by the short-sighted 47thLegislature becomes irreparable.

And in so doing, he started the internetwork race to find the next"most trusted man in America." It won't be Dan Rather, Cronkite's heir. Rather is viewed as toopugnacious, ambitious and threateningly handsome. Roger Mudd's move to NBC, prompted by hispique at not getting the CBS anchor, sort of makes him a turncoat. After all, wasn't it Mudd'santecedent who aided the murderer of Lincoln in his getaway? Albeit, Dr. Mudd helped Booth due toprofessional ethics but the incident reflects over the decades to taint Roger's switch of allegiance. Mudd will probably relieve NBC anchorman John Chancellor in a few years. Chancellor, a trustworthy sort,was bucking Cron-kite's journalistic expertise and charisma without a chance of coming up more thansecond. ABC, the first network to get out of the starting blocks, has tried more trades, big cash dealsand 'Dan Rather is viewed as too pugnacious, while Mudd's move to NBC... makes him a sort ofturncoat/ bring-them-up-from-the-minors moves than any team in the Wide World of Sports RooneArledge covered for so many seasons. Arledge admits to tempting Rather with a big contract, but thenew CBS anchorman is reported to be getting $20 million for the next 10 years. ABC now sports a slick, but not powerful, three-man anchor that will probably get traded again and again during the game. CBShas two bright lights in its stable that project more "trust" than Rather. The excellent journalism ofMorley Safer combines with a sincerity that can only be real. Safer enjoys his 60 Minutes job so much that he probably didn't care to pursue the anchor chair. Ed Bradley, imposing, authoritative, award-winning black newsman, made his mark filling in for Cronkite on weekends. 1 can see William Paley,CBS president, failing to give the job to Bradley because he feared accusations of tokenism. So thenetworks need "trustworthy" men in the eyes of two generations of Americans. They need men whohave long media careers, with reputations for being straight shooters. Captain Kangaroo, Dick Clark and Wolfman Jack, America needs you. â€”Edd O'Donnell No more Mr. Nice Guy The day is Jan. 1, 1984.Students have been purged from all university committees, alcoholic beverages outlawed and a dusk-to- dawn curfew established by University President Paul Olscamp. Olscamp declared a state ofmartial law and proclaimed himself King Paul I this morning. When questioned about his right toassume such power, Olscamp responded, "If Franco and Marcos can do it, why can't I?" "Those nimrodstudents have been calling me a dictator long enough," he fumed. "Now they will see what a monarchyreally is like." Genaralissimo R. G. Peterson of the New Department of Safety, Purges and RadarSurveillance (DSPRS) said the curfew and liquor laws will be enforced starting today. "Any kid caughtout after dark or drinking anything stronger than a Dr. Pepper will have his ass forwarded home in asweat sock," he said. He added DSPRS officers will be armed with M-16 rifles and grenade launchers as well as mace and night sticks. "I have ordered my men to shoot first and ask for a student numberlater," Peterson said. He would not confirm or deny reports of a "hit list" including all students with morethan three unpaid parking tickets. Greg Sobel, Associated Students president, met with reporters in hisnew office in the Bond Hall elevator. "I really want to keep discussion of the problem within thegovernance system of the university," Sobel said. . He said he is going to send a memo to AssistantAttorney General Stuart Allen questioning the legality of Olscamp's act. "I will as soon as KingOlscamp gives me some paper," he added. â€”Anonymous ---------- Western Front - 1981 March 10 - Page 5 ---------- Mail .TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1981 WESTERN FRONT 5 Royal list Western Front: Recent events havecaused many of us to wonder just what is going on with our university administrators, notably thepresident. First there was the rejection of the Intercollegiate Task Force recommendations, and theunderlying rejection of students' role in the allocation of students' money. As far as I know, this "sportsscandal" has not yet been resolved, and indeed, may only be resolved in court. Then there was thedismissal of a certain coach. All the information on this matter has understandably not been released,but it appears to most observers that a personal dispute between the president and the coach led to thecoach's firing. And then we-read in the Herald that construction of the new business and economicsbuilding was approved against the advice of the State Office of Financial Management, which resultedin harsh public criticism â€” a "public flogging"â€” from the House Appropriations Committee. You'd think that the ugliness of the still-unfinished Environmental Studies Center would be a sufficientreminder not to build buildings you can't afford to complete. Maybe the administration wants amatching set of south campus monstrosities. Finally we read in the Front that Olscamp is seekingemployment elsewhere.*Has the burden of trying to cooperate with faculty, students and legislatorsbecome too much for him? As a student (read: serf) watching the mishandling of important universitymatters by the administration (read: royalty) I am getting pretty upset. Perhaps it is time for those ofus who do support cooperation and sensibility to take over from those who don't. Daniel M. Kirkpatrick Misleading Western Front: It has come to my attention that a March 3 editorial in the Front is criticalof the administrative handling of Senate Bill 3531, which appropriated $788,000 to Western for thecompletion of the South Academic Building. The editorial is both misleading and unfair for thesereasons: 1. The 1979 Legislature clearly intended for Western to include Speech Pathology/Audiologyas well as the College of Business and Economics in the building program and design. 2. Thebudgetary problem was strictly inflation-caused and is no different from virtually every other projectappropriated in 1979. It comes to early attention because Western has expedited the project to get itunderway in almost record time. 3. The referenced Oct. 2, 1980, "warning letter" from the Office ofFinancial Management (OFM) was followed by careful negotiations with the Department of GeneralAdministration and the OFM to develop deductive alternatives so that the project could proceed. Thosebids and the procedure saved the state hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the total context, the Oct.2 letter was properly heeded and responded to by Western. 4. When SB 3531 was before the Senate,Lyle Jacobson, the former director of OFM at the time of the Oct. 2 letter, testified for the bill. It passedthe Senate by a vote of 48-0. When the bill came before the House, Jacobson was on temporaryassignment to the Corrections Division and was unavailable for testimony concerning the proprietywith which the project had gone to bid. It should be noted that Western does not issue constructioncontracts; these are issued by the Department of General Administration with the concurrence ofthe OFM. It is true that a question arose before the House Committee. This is a legitimate part of thelegislative process and no one should be offended by a seeking of facts. Nor should anyone be judgedguilty by the inquiry. The truth is that sufficient funds ($788,000) were appropriated to assure theacceptance of all deductive alternate bids in a timely manner. The balance of the funding loaf will begiven legislative attention in the regular biennial capital budget before this session is over. I fully expect that funding to pass also. I hope this clarifies the matter. In the halls of the Legislature, this is a veryminor question. Western enjoys an excellent reputation in Olympia as a well-run institutionâ€”a leader in cost savings, energy conservation and space efficiency. If the administration is to be criticized when it did nothing wrong, it should afleast be praised for providing a high quality educ-tional program for thelowest cost of any of our four-year colleges and universities. H. A. "Barney" Goltz Senator, 42nd Dist.Insulting Western Front: In the Front of Friday, March 6, 'you published my letter pointing out SueMitchell's misrepresentation of my views. You chose to apologize for her article with a note at the endof my letter. "Mitchell mistakenly assumed Larner, a DRAC member, was aware of this connection"(that is, the connection between House Bill 1480 and student responsibility for S A fee money).Two points: 1. Reporters never should make such assumptions. It's bad practice and results ininaccurate stories. 2. Your remark implies that I was not aware of the connection, something whichneither Mitchell's article nor my letter gives any warrant for. In fact, I was of course aware of HB 1480, but in talking to Mitchell was addressing other concerns, which I made very explicit, and which wererepeated in my letter. These concerns would have made no sense at all if HB 1480 had never beenenacted. If you had to make an assumptionâ€”there it was, sticking right out at youâ€”exactly theopposite of the one you did make. I'm sorry you felt you had to cover yourself by insulting me. DanielLarner Ideas meet Western Front: I would like to.make some comments and observations on thesuperb letter by Jack Howard in the Mar. 3 Front. Mr. Howard's concept of love and truth and theirrelationship to religion is almost precisely the concept I share. I approach Christianity as aconstantly growing and deepening understanding of the concepts of love and truthâ€”concepts I believe are embodied in God. I cannot claim to have grown completely and to have understood these conceptsfully until I have met God in my.heavenly life. Mr. Howard made a good point about people maskingpersonal intolerances behind religion.

Thomas Duncan PIRG is?Western Front: In the true spirit of democracy, I am interested in any attempt by the community andstudents to organize and help ourselves in a time of social and economic crisis. However, manypersons seem to have an apathetic attitude when a rally cry is given to organize for the benefit of thecommunity. In my estimation this apathy is inexcusable in the light of the new administration's policy ofslashing public aid. Once again many community members are left in a precarious position, financially.Times are hard and getting harder for the citizens of the community. In the light of these sobering factsthere is an avenue interested folks can take on campus to get involved in an organization that canrespond to the needs of the community.

Reamer International Women's Day, March 8, is one of the most widely celebrated international holidays ofrecent origin. First proclaimed at a 1910 international conference of women in Helsinki, the day is said to commemorate a demonstration by female garment and textile workers in New York in 1857. Now the day is observed in countries all over the world, including the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. At Western, the Women's Center is concluding a Women's Awareness Week from March 4 â€”11 in connection with International Women's Day, which is recognized by the United Nations. The eventincludes a program of lectures, discussions, films and slide shows concerning changing roles of womenin society. Today, Chrysalis Gallery Director Caren Graupe presents a slide show on "Women and Art"at noon in Viking Union 408. Jan Van Ysslestyne of the Northwest Free University speaks on "Womenand the Modern Psychic Movement" at 1 p.m. today, also in VU 408. The Risingfire Women's Self-Defense Collective conducts a "Self-Defense Workshop" from 2 to 5 p.m. today in the VU Sas-quatchRoom. Sign-up information is available at the Women's Center, VU 215. "We feel that there are manyissues and concerns involving women that need to be explored," Women's Center Coordinator LaurieRomnes said. She added 56 percent of Western's population is female. "It's not anti-men, it's incelebration of women" and men are encouraged to participate, Assistant Coordinator ElainePorterfield said. In fact, several men as well as women attended and participated in discussions lastweek such as "Juggling Lives: Self, Career and Family," "Women and Religion" and "Women andHistory." "The truth that I see is that women are equal" to men, Mary Beth O'Neill, a minister with theCampus Christian Ministry, said in her discussion of "Women and Religion." "Feminists often are seenas those crazy people over there," she said, but added she hopes that image will change. "We don'tknow a lot about women in history," Vivian Dreves, a graduate history student, said in her discussion ofthe subject. She said current history books often present inadequate images of women in the past, andhigh school and college text books rarely mention women. On Sunday, Western's Women's Centerpresented a pancake breakfast to celebrate International Women's Day at the Bellingham YWCA.Proceeds from the breakfast will H0WT0 MAKE ONE GLASS OF COKE LAST ALL YEAH BUYA310Z.GLASS OF COCA-COLA AND WET1REFH1 IT FREE FORAYEAR.

After all, the Huskies are a major-college team, while the Vikings, 68-62 losersto the U W earlier in the season, compete at the small-college level. The Huskies come from all over thenation on full-ride scholarships and their exploits are published in a glossy, 60-page press guide. TheVikings are a local group (all from the Puget Sound basin), who must pass the hat at halftime becauseathletics are equal in importance with keeping the sidewalks swept at this backwoods teachers'college. The UW may have realized it was in trouble as it went through pre-game warmups. More than1,000 noisy Western partisans packed the stands. The Western band showed up for the first time thisseason. The lineup introductions were turned into a sort of Viking father-daughter night. And theWestern players themselves were visibly psyched. All this translated into a 58-54 Western victory, theViks' 21st consecutive home-court win, making their final regular-season record 21-5. The tense,dramatic win was no doubt an excellent tuneup for the Division II Region IX tournament tomorrow inBillings, Mont. The Viks were tentative on offense early, and fell behind, 10-5, after four minutes. But a13-4 spurt, behind eight points by center Judy Irving, pushed Western up by four points at 18-14 andthe Huskies to the bench to re-group. After UW pulled to within one at 23-22, Western used a pair ofbaskets by forward Sue Thomas to assume a 28-22 halftime lead, and expanded that advantage to 39-30 midway through the second half. At that point, Western coach Lynda Goodrich pulled Irving and Ail-American forward Jo Metz-ger, who, troubled by a sprained ankle, had been flat offensively. "They weretired, and our bench has been coming in all year and doing a good job," Goodrich said. The Huskies,spidery 6-2 center Liz Chicane leading the way with eight points, whittled the Vik lead to one point at 39-38. Thomas, who gave Western a lift early in the contest, supplied another bit of inspiration with abasket at 8:22 that snapped the Husky scoring skein, and lifted the Vikings, to a 41-38 lead. Thereafter,the two teams traded baskets, and Western's zone defense had its finest hour thus far this season. !A couple of baskets by Western guards and an unmolested shot by Irving broke the Huskies' back.First, Kym Cummings, playing her final home game for the Vikings, as were Irving and Metzger, sriuck between two Huskies, intercepted a pass, and sank a layup at 4:24. Then, in a once-in-a-lifetimeplay, freshman guard Susie Miller, with one second showing on the 30-second clock, took an inboundspass from Metzger and swished a 25-footer. Finally, after two Chicane free throws narrowed the gap toone at 55-54 with 53 seconds left, the Vikings played keep-away for 25 seconds, then found alonesome Irving right of the key for an easy 12-foot jump shot. That put the game out of reach for theHuskies, a game the Daily felt they weren't supposed to lose. Irving led Western with 22 points and 15rebounds, while Metzger gathered 12. Chicane paced the UW with 22 points, followed by guard KarenMurray with 11. Jim Segaar Western avenged an earlier loss to the University of Washington HuskiesFriday with a 58-54 victory.

Study obviously is not the reason thesenior power-hitter is . here. "I may major in business administration, but I haven't declared it yet,"Western's only four-year baseball letterman said. In only his second full season of hitting, Wagner, -called Wags by his teammates, is considered the long-ball threat for the Viks. After pitching most of hiscareer, the 22-year-old injured his arm the summer after his freshman year and suffered through therapy,including cortisone shots. He finally got a chance to pick up the bat last year as designated hitter (andback-up first baseman) and hit for a .304 average. His hitting and veteran-status earned therighthander the flag of team captain this season. "He's almost an assistant coach for me," CoachMark Fenn said. "He is an outstanding leader." Fellow players echo the coach's praise: "The youngerplayers reallv look up to him," shortstop Ted Doyle said. "Wags' kind of quiet, but when he talks you want to listen to what he says," outfielder Wade Jackson added. His teammates' praise is much louder thanhis own, however. "I was really flattered that the guys elected me. The best I can do is lead byexample," the 6-2, 180- pounder said. The pressure is on him this year as the Viks begin their season,but he said he can handle it. "The only pressure 1 feel is what 1 put on myself," the Tacoma nativeexplained. "1 really want to do well." In the opening doubleheader against the University ofWashington, Wags did well, going 2 for 6 and hitting the ball hard each time at bat. Wagner ripped a line-shot deep into the leftfield corner but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. "I think he waswatching the ball when he came out of the batter's box," Fenn said. "But he did what we want him todoâ€”hit the long ball." Wags is confident he can do better as the season progresses. "I feel really goodat the start of this season." He said the team as a whole also is more confidentâ€”"We know we can win games this year." His confidence may be stronger because of tips a Cincinnati coach gave him prior tothe season, Fenn said. "He told Wags to pop his hips more as he comes around on his swing to givemore power to his hitting," Fenn said. "He's been thumpin' the ball ever since," he added. "Right nowhe's doing everything right." Another aid to Wagner's improvement was a ten-day stay in a Floridatraining camp during Christmas break. While there, the pros helped him concentrate on pulling theball. "I learned .to swing hard from my ass," he said. "It should lead to more homeruns." Wagner's onlyhomerun last year, against Central Washington University, helped spark the Viks to a come-back victoryover the Wildcats. He said he thinks he can hit seven home runs in 27 games this year and he is sure he can bat over .300 again. He likes the challenge of feeding off a pitcher's fast ball who tries to "blow itpast you." Doyle and he may try out for the Victoria, B.C., minor league team later in the spring, he said.

Smith For the most part,intercollegiate athletics at Western felt the all-too- harsh effects of winter in Bellingham. Few Vikingteams were big winners, or even winners at all. But looking closely, bright spots can be foundâ€”even with a wrestling team that finished 3-9 in dual meets. The club, coached in its final year of existence by Harry Smith, placed seventh at the combined NA1A District I and II meet. Eleven teams entered the meet. Nottoo much positive there. A closer look, however, reveals two successful wrestlers, Todd Wilson and JeffBergsma. Wilson, competing in the 158-pound division, finished the season with a 20-14-1 mark. Theheavy weight Bergsma was the best Viking wrestler, compiling a 19-5-1 record and gaining a berth in theNAIA Nationals. Coach Bob Warner's Viking Hockey team was the most pleasant surprise of the winter.The club dominated the Northwest College Hockey League this year, finishing with a 23-5 overall record.The men's and women's basketball teams had almost entirely opposite seasons. The men ended theirnightmare with a 4-21 record. The women finished the regular season with a fine 21-5 mark and areheaded for the AIAW playoffs. The women are led on the court by All-American Jo Metzger. The seniorcontinued her excellent all-around play this year, averaging just under 22 points and 10 rebounds pergame. She had help from all her teammates, but none added more to the team's strive for the playoffsthan center Judy Irving. The senior from Tacoma ended the regular season averaging 13 points and 10boards per outing. The men's team, conversely, did not enjoy a winning season. But the year was doublybad for the Western men. Not only did the club have the worst record in the past 18 years, but also it lostthe services of the man who has guided the team for that span, Chuck Randall. With only two weeksremaining in the season, Randall resigned amid a cloud of controversy as to whether he did so forpersonal reasons or was forced out by University President Paul Olscamp. One thing is certain, Westernlost one of the finest college coaches in the Northwest when Randall resigned. In his nearly two decadesas the Viking coach, Randall compiled an excellent 274-183 coaching record. When combined withwomen's basketball coach Lynda Goodrich's amazing 201-59 mark," it becomes clear that Western is, orwas, in possession of two of the winningest coaches in the nation. The loss of Randall may be thebiggest defeat of the year for Viking athletics. Jim Segaar Who me? You have GOT to be kidding!

Aftermonths of potshots by * both sides, Olscamp and Sobel will step from the conference room to the ringFriday to decide the fate of the Service and Activities fee controversy. The match, at 8 p.m. in theWhatcom Sports Arena, is part of - the "So You Think You're Tough" contest currently touring theNorthwest. Olscamp and Sobel challenged each other in separate letters to the Front. "1 just got tiredof the underhanded dealings," Sobel said, p "Besides, I'll beat the shit out of him. I mean, have youever seen him in shorts?" Olscamp said he sees a different outcome. "Frankly, I'm surprised he issuedthe challenge," he said. "When all facets are considered, â€¢ the reasonable and logical observer canonly conclude that I will emerge victorious. Reflect, if you will, on my superior intellect, my ability toreason logically . . . The smart fighter has a distinct advantage." Both men expect their rigorous training schedule will contribute heavily to the outcome. "I've been involved in some-extensive remodeling of myhome," Olscamp said, adding that the refrigerator, dishwasher and kitchen sink were especially difficult to handle. Olscamp visits the SAGA dining halls, where he punches slabs of real beef-like tasting meat substitutes. "We needed somebody to tenderize our meat," SAGA Director Rick Waldt, said. Healso jogs daily around the track behind the physical education building, trainer James Talbot said.Sobel's trainer, Bob Jirka, says his man has been lifting weights to prepare for the fight. Unfortunately, the build-up in chest size has been accompanied with an equal expansion in head size. "It's a difficultywe've had to deal with," Jirka said, explaining that he has had trouble convincing Sobel of the problem.The scheduled fight has sparked interest, at Western, including some wagering on the outcome.Physical education instructor and ex-basketball coach Chuck Randall, the local oddsmaker, is giving the fight to Sobel with 5 to 2 odds. "That's where I'd put my money," he said. "In fact, I'm betting thismonth's paycheck, what's left of it anyway, that Sobel will win." Olscamp, known as the "Great StoneFace," says his iron jaw will be a distinct advantage. "I've never been knocked down or out and don't plan on starting now," he said. Sobel said he will unleash a secret weapon seconds before the opening bellsounds, but refuses to disclose its identity. An informed source, who asked not to be named, said theweapon is Sobel's earring. "He believes it is a reception device through which he receives rays of energybeamed from other galaxies," the source said. If a winner is declared, both fighters say other conflictsmay be decided by future fights. Admission is free. Rust raises dough by Grease Schemer U niversityPresident Paul Olscamp announced yesterday a revolutionary solution to the budget cutbacks thathave plagued many programs at Western. Beginning spring quarter, Olscamp said, the administrationwill auction Western's outdoor artworks to raise money for completion of the South AcademicBuilding and other programs short of funds. The state Legislature voted last week to allocate only halfof the $ 1.7 million Western requested for the building's completion. "We will be killing two birds withone stone," Olscamp said, referring to extensive student criticism of campus artwork. "In addition to getting rid of student badmouthing of our professional artwork," he said, "we will be able to raisefaculty salaries to a level comparable with high school teachers with money from the sale." Olscampsaid he foresees no student opposition to the proposal. However, he expressed the fear that studentsmay begin vandalizing trees and buildings on campus in place of defacing sculpture. "I don't want tosee 'Tina Chopp lives here' painted across the front of Old Main after the Serra sculpture is cartedaway," he warned at a oress conference. As for the Serra sculpture, nobody seems to want it except the artist. Olscamp said he recently received a phone call from Richard Serra, who said he was "fed up"with criticism and vandalism of his "masterpiece" and would personally retrieve the sculpture from itscurrent resting place between the Art-Technology building and Arntzen Hall. Serra intends to offer theU.S. Navy a good price for the four iron slabs if it will name the ship after him, Olscamp said. RichardBeyer's sculpture, "The Man Who Used to Hunt Cougars for Bounty," will not be auctioned. Olscampsaid he would like to present it "as a memento of a long year" to the Associated Students officers.Bucky The Pencil Beaver "Still-life of a Subaru," the latest addition to Western's outdoor art collection,was installed last weekend. Artist Bernie Gall calls the $250,000 sculpture, purchased by the VirginWeight Foundation, "an experience in upward motion." Sobel out for plasma by Crabby Trait A privatememo sent last spring from University President Paul Olscamp to Vice President for Student AffairsThomas Quinlan revealed that student monies were spent on more than the remodeling of Olscamp'skitchen, Associated Students President Greg Sobel said yesterday. Sobel said that almost $20,000 ofService and Activities fees were used by Olscamp to pay for two color television sets, a two-week trip toBermuda and a Niagara Adjustable bed. Olscamp, reached in Olympia, denied Sobel's allegations."That's just a product of his (Sobel's) over-active imagination," Olscamp said. "The trip was strictlybusiness and my doctor advised me to get one of those beds." Sobel said that he obtained a copy of theprivate memo while Olscamp's secretary, Sonja Scherbler, was out of the room. He would not say whereit was found. The memo reads, in part, "After all, it sort of is my money and I have a right to it. Besides,they're so worried about that damn kitchen, they won't even notice." Olscamp was referring to an incident last spring when it was revealed he had used $23,000 of S A fees to pay for the remodeling of hiskitchen. Sobel said that the private use of S A fees is illegal. "It's not against the law because it wasused for school business," Olscamp said. The trip to Bermuda was to tour universities there and "maybepick up a few pointers," he added. Quinlan could not be reached for comment. Sobel said the AS Boardof Directors will review the legality of Olscamp's action. "We're going to nail him this time," he said.Toilet breaks delay more evaluation spats by Fancy Fallback At the opening Faculty Senate 1 meetingof the 2001-02 academic year, the first order of business was the 824th proposal for teaching evaluations submitted by an Ad Hoc committee chaired by the aging Robert Thorndike. The new proposal, outlinedon a red, white and blue paper in a concession to Gerard Rutan, was a numerical analysis from one to 100 designated to enrage and offend all faculty members. The senators agreed this was a step in theright direction as previous proposals offended only a few. "I am categorically opposed to numericalenumerations," Doug Park, the bald-headed, portly Eng-lish department chairman croaked. He thenadvised a scowling Thorndike to "put his numbers where the sun don't shine." Faculty Senate President George Mariz restored order to the meeting by banging his cane on the table to quiet the continuingchorus of raspberries. "Hear, hear, senators, point of order," the elderly Mariz pleaded. Rutan tried totable the motion and propose one of his own. "I want faculty parking spaces moved closer to campusthan the Bellingham Mall," Rutan, the former ambassador to Canada during the Reagan administration,shouted. "It's outrageous. It's despicable. Are we not intellectuals â€¢ in an academic institution ormere working-class types carrying lunchpails?" William Scott intoned that a solution might be foundin the U.S. Constitution and suggested that the ACLU could make a test case. "I see it as a directthreat to our civil rights, a violation of the 101st Amendment that states intellectual highbrows can parkanywhere," Scott contended while stroking his long white beard. Phillip Montague disagreed andyanked Scott's beard to get his attention. "To park or not to park, that has been the burningphilosophical question throughout the ages," Montague ranted. Mariz, once again using /igorous caneaction, brought the meeting back to the original question of teaching evaluation proposals. Heoffered for comment a cable received from former Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbot, who manages a sheep ranch in the Australian outback. Talbot's assessment of the ongoing debate wasone word â€” "Bullroar." The senators were stunned at the vote of no-confi- , dence. Rutan was morethan stunned, he was incensed. "He stole my favorite word. How dare he?" the ancient political scientist sputtered. It was finally proposed to table the motion until the quarter break, when no meetings arescheduled. Because of.the elderly contingent of senators, the meeting was adjourned early for comfort station breaks. While waiting in line to use the facilities, Montague was overheard talking to no one in particular. "I told these young whipper-snappers back in '81 that this discussion coukr-go on into thenext century," he complained. "But did they listen?" He was heard cackling madly to himself as the line inched forward.PPPPP

Together they put last week's science fiction convention, Viking Con, $1,500 inthe red. Viking Con, put on by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Club, lost about $1,500, said ArthurOwen, Viking Con budget authority. To put on the convention, the SFFC received loans totalling $5,600from the Associated Students Activities Council. The SFFC was to repay the loan by May 1. Because of the loss, Owen said, the club will not be able to repay the loan. Terri Echelbarger, AS Vice President for Activities, said the SFFC has been good about repaying loans in the past. Owen said the annualscience-fiction fair ended up competing with Dr. Who, a science-fiction show. Viking Con and Dr. Whopromoters had a joint-operating agreement, hoping to attract larger overall attendance and not operatein exclusion of each other. Owen said the Dr. Who show may have drained the potential Viking Concrowd. "We figured the Dr. Who event may have taken about $ 1,000 from us," he said. The club alsobought more Viking Con T-shirts than it sold. Owen said the club spent between $400 and $500 on theshirts and plans to sell the shirts on consignment at the bookstore next week to recoup some of itslosses. Another miscalculation was a TV commercial that advertised the convention. The $620 spotaired four times during showings of "Star Trek" on KVOS TV, Bellingham. Owen said he hasn'tcompleted sifting through the questionnaires he distributed during the convention, but he thought fewwho attended Viking Con actually saw the commercial. The commercial cost $200 to make and and$105 for each of the four showings. "We won't do that again," he said. Owen said they could havetrimmed costs in other ways too. Guest speakers Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle were flown in fromCalifornia on first-class seats. Viking Con also picked up the tab for their hotel rooms and meals whilethey were in town. "Next year's Viking Con. will be operated on a scrooge-type budget," Owen said."Next tirne we won't pay for first-class air fare. If the guest speakers say they won't come unless they flyfirst class, then we won't bring them." Miscalculation number five: expected attendance was about 500;only 375 people showed. "We anticipated around 500 to show up and only 375 did. We feltcomfortable with the 500 figure," he said. Next year, Owen said, Viking Con planners, himself included,will expect only J 50 people to attend. WashPIRG campaigns to keep Hanford clean By Brian Malveystaff reporter Western will be exposed to "Forty Years of Nuclear Waste at Hanford" tonight, whenrepresentatives of the Washington Public Interest Research Group and a nuclear waste disposalcorporation square-off at 7 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. Gerry Pollet, executive director ofWashPIRG, said tonight's forum is part of WashPIRG's campaign to prevent the selection of the HanfordReservation as the nation's first high-level nuclear waste repository. Pollet will be joined by BrettRedfearn, a WashPIRG lobbyist from The Evergreen State College, and Ron Prosser, a nuclear wastemanager for Rockwell Hanford, a division of Rockwell International, Corp.. Rockwell manages thedisposal of high-level waste at Hanford for the Pentagon and is a major contractor for the study andtesting of Hanford for selection as the waste repository site. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982authorized the Department of Energy to find a permanent site for storing the nation's high-level nuclearwaste. More than 80 commercial reactors and three military installations presently store high-level wacte on-site in the form of spent nuclear fuel rods and fission by-products. Three sites, including Hanford, are being considered by the DOE for the construction of the repository one-to-three thousand feet belowthe surface. The law allows the governor or the legislature of the state selected for the repository to file a "notice of disapproval" similar to a veto. A majority of both houses of Congress could override the veto. Pollet said WashPIRG wants voters also to have the right to file the notice. He said the group will try toinfluence elections this year and convince legislators to guarantee voters a referendum on the veto ifHanford is selected. He said if such a referendum is not made law, WashPIRG would begin collectingthe 150,000 signatures necessary to put an initiative on the ballot in 1987. The DOE has scheduled thefinal site selection for 1991. Construction of the $27 billion repository would begin in 1993. The nation'shigh-level nuclear waste would be transported to the repository from reactors across the nation beginning in 1998. Pollet said nuclear waste forums have been held on and off campuses in Seattle and Olympiato educate and involve students and others in WashPIRG's "Don't Sacrifice Washington" campaign. y ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 â€¢ A window of a Ridgeway Kappa room wasreported broken at 10:55 p.m., April 19.

Protest roars at research â€¢ PROTEST, from p. 1 first heard about therequest from people who called to ask about it. With megaphone in hand, Piatt led the small gatheringin an animal-rights version of "This Land is Your Land," which included the lyrics "This lab is your lab."Other demonstrators sang along while holding signs with slogans such as, "Their eyes don't lie," and"Don't teach cruelty." A strong, cold wind blew across Red Square, keeping the usually curiousori/ookers moving. Piatt passed the megaphone to others in the group. No one seemed to haveprepared " statements. Piatt said the small turnout probably was due to the bad weather and conflictingclass schedules. Heidi Harbert wore a gorilla mask with a mock bloody bandage. She said, "If I couldbring a monkey with wires in its head, I would." About 20 minutes after the demonstration began, twoprotesters arrived with a small pseudo coffin. Harbert removed the mask and said, "The coffin is inmemory of all the primates who have suffered." Amanda Fleming, a member of Western's UniversityPlanning Council last year, said, "I sure am opposed. This kind of thing has gone on before. I've heard(Prim has) used cats." Kelly said Western was not conducting duplicate experiments and all animalsused in research are checked by a veterinarian Who visits kbs Unannounced several times a year.He also said every research experiment and proposal is reviewed by a committee of faculty, staff andnon-university personnel. Kelly emphasized that students conduct none of the research and are usedonly as lab assistants. Demonstrator Mark Peterson, whose barking dog Naya kept the crowdamused, said, "We have to extend ideas of morality to the rest of the animals. We're animals, too."The protestors marched from Fisher Fountain to one end of Miller Hall, but didn't enter. Piatt then led the group up the front stairs of Old Main. They went past the president's office and to the end of the fourthfloor hall. Most of the faculty seemed to be at lunch.

Federal Way ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 3 ---------- TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 3 Panel blasts Reagan's actions on Libya By KevenGraves staff reporter Agreeing the attacks were illegal, unethical and unnecessary, panelists blastedthe recent U.S. bombing of Libya at a public forum Thursday in the Viking Union Lounge. Bill McCord,from the Associated Students Environmental Center, moderated the forum. Panelists included Rev.William Sodt, member of the U.N. Association and former minister at Western's Campus ChristianMinistry; Leonard Helfgott, of the history department and expert on Middle East studies; and Ken Distlerof the American/ Arab A n t i - D i s c r i m i n a t i o n Committee. Before the discussion started, anorganizer of the forum apologized for the biased panel. He said it was not the original intent to onlypresent one side of the issue. Distler, speaking first, said the U.S. attack on Libya will not stopterrorism. "I. dqn't think that, was Reagan's main purpose there," he said, adding he believes the intentwas to kill Moammar Khadaffy. Reagan's idea that "Terrorists are attacking us because they are 'maddogs' or because 'we're there.' is not an adequate explanation. Distler said. Until a Palestinian state iscreated. Distler said, this kind of terrorism will continue. The United States is seen as having aMH^^^rtHMtei^^fej REV. WILLIAM SODT . major role in preventing the creation of a Palestinesettlement on the West Bank. For example. Distler said, the United States was believed to have funded a 1982 Israeli drive to destroy the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). "This doesn't give theArab World a good feeling." he said. The bombing of Libya. Helfgott said, "forced a false andtemporary unity of the Arab world." Looking at the attack in a "very pragmatic perspective," he said, "itdidn't do what (Reagan) set out to do. It didn't kill Khadaffy." But the bombing created this temporaryunity, he said. "The Palestinian issue is the fulcrum to the Middle East problems." Helfgott said. Twodays after the bombing of Damascus. Syria's capital, "the PLO vowed a united resistance against theUnited States." Helfgott said the panel agreed terrorism practiced - by the Libyans needs to be stopped. However, he said, the United States "could bring Khadaffy down" by not buying Libyan oil. But. headded, that would mean "stepping on the toes of the big oil companies." Sodt was the most outspokenof the speakers. "What the United States did was terrorism," he said. "It was an act of war, and it wastreated as an act of war. committed by the United States without the direct approval of Congress." Thiswas a violation of the War Powers Act, he said. "We've been given a lot of hooey by (Speaker of theHouse Thomas) Tip O'Neill and members of Congress," Sodt said. "They are afraid to speak up." Thebombings also were against the laws restricting assassination ..of foreign leaders, he added. .. .".: "Itwas not surprising at all Reagan did this," Sodt said. "We've always erribraced terrorism as part of ourforeign policy." The "despicable" things the United States has done, he said, include the bombing ofHiroshima and Nagasaki and the involvement in Vietnam and Grenada. "Reagan is a liar, no doubtabout it," Sodt said. Reagan lied about the Sandinistas and Con-tras, he said, asking "What can we dobut wonder about these lies? Can we believe what Reagan says about Libyan connection to the bombing of the Berlin discotheque? "What we should do is act like a great power," Sodt said, meaning theUnited States needs to "get to the root of the problem and not act in a rattlesnake mentality." A student asked the group about the United States' European allies and their stance of non-support for thebombing. "We've taken the position we're the policeman of the free world," Helfgott said. "Reagan didn'task the American people before bombing Libya, and he didn't ask other countries." "I think most of ushave got the feeling it's not right," Sodt said. Panelists then were asked why they thought Libya,terrorism and Khadaffy suddenly were such major issues. Sodt said he did not believe it was a suddenissue. â€¢-â€¢â€¢ "Reagan has been talking and talking for five years building up to this," he said. :- "Itcenters around the Palestinians." Helfgott added. "We have not forced the Israelis to create aPalestinian state." A student asked how realistic the idea of establishing a Palestinian homeland is.Helfgott said, "I think it is very realistic." However, he added, "It is somewhat of a pipe dream in thepolitical context now. As long as the United States gives Israelis a free hand to do what they want in theArab states there will be no homeland." WSL prepares strategy for fall legislature By Sandra Treecestaff reporter The Washington Student Lobby won't take a vacation now that the legislative session has.ended. To prepare for its legislative campaign this fall. WSL will have a statewide cpnferencek.May 30to June7 l'in Seattle.'^WSL Executive Director Jim Sullivan said during a Visit to Western last week. : -â€¢'â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ â€¢ Representatives from Western, the University of Washington.,Washington State University. Central Washington University and The Evergreen State College willattend the conference to discuss issues to be pursued when the state legislature resumes in thefall. Sullivan said he is concerned about the amount of power granted to the Higher EducationCommittee (HEQ Board by the legislature and that students need to be informed and prepared to voice their opinions. "Recommendations by the committee could mean far-reaching changes in highereducation." he said. "The'great difficulty is that many legislators see only statistics on paper and not the people behind those statistics." Students taking five or six years to complete college are viewedas goof-offs. Sullivan said, and the fact that they may be working their way through school isn't aconsideration. As a result, legislators could put a ceiling on the number of years a student is eligible for financial aid. "It's going to be a tight, tough biennium and the conference will give us a head start onHEC and an. opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas." Sullivan said. Although it's too early to puttogether a legislative package. Western's WSL representative Robert Chamblee said fiscal billssupported by Western had been delayed, but they would be at the forefront of discussion during thethree-day conference. "Tuition freeze, financial aid, merit pay and minority enrollment are the issueswe think students arc most concerned about." Chamblee said. Equalizing state funding for schoolswill be a debated issue at the conference. Sullivan said. "There is a difference between a researchinstitute such as the University of Washington and a strictly educational school." Sullivan said. "Butshould one get more funding than the other? It's a fine line to draw." Chamblee said he viewed the issuepossibly as being too divisive because schools from both sides are WSL members. Sullivan's visitfollowed the Student Task Force's decision to continue indefinitely Western's affiliation with WSL. InJanuary, the Associated Students Board of Directors considered withdrawing from the five-membercoalition after it was disclosed administrative disor-ganizationand poor accounting procedures had leftWSL's state board indebted to the Internal Revenue Service. "We're very solid now." Sullivan said."The IRS has been paid and our books are all in order." Already disappointed by the state board's lack of support for Western-initiated issues, the AS Board formed a task force to determine whether studentswould be better served if Western lobbied in Olympia independent of WSL. If the task force hadrecommended severing ties with WSL the issue would have been included on the student electionsballot in May. Sullivan replaced interim director Mike Johnson in February and has made a priority ofkeeping closer contact with WSL representatives from each school and the issues that concern them.re-examines HiSHllliliiii l i i | | i t ; iiy|B'0H;ge;tvT6.1 h}^$gKÂ£ngÂ§ |||fj;Hec^ Ifflitl^lliHHMi^^HlB^PBiiiSBB SBilHiiilttfiiliB^JilHSjl lll^BillflBiBiiHMliiBil SillBIIBHiBl^^BBB! iSRiiilllliHBIfiiiiilJiRIInfo Trak screens info for data seekers By Brenda Dow staff reporter â€¢ Western students are some of the first in the United States to try out the latest in computer technology for reference. The system,called InfoTrak. was brought to the Wilson Library reference department by the Information AccessCorporation. The corporation specializes in making information available to libraries. Fred Waterman,business librarian, said. Waterman first learned of the InfoTrak system a year ago at a library conventionin Seattle. "1 was very impressed with it." he said. Waterman demonstrated the system April 14 in thereference room. InfoTrak users type in a topic and seconds later a list of articles that have appeared onthe subject in the past three years a p p e a r on the computer screen. The list can be read on thescreen or printed out, giving a complete bibliography for future reference. ..-,' The InfoTrak databasecontains, references to articles from about 1.000 business, technical and general-interestpublications. Waterman said. InfoTrak is at Western for a three-month trial period. So far. W a t e r ma n said, stud e n t response has been quite positive. Both terminals always seem to be in use. he said. Karen Mincey. a student who has used InfoTrak. said. "It saves you time because you don't have to sitfor hours looking through journals." The system costs SI6.000 per year for the first five years andS8.500 per year thereafter, said Diane Parker, director of Wilson Librarv. ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 4 ---------- â€¢ â€¢ 4 WESTERN FRONT Opinion TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 Frontline Writing test helps gainquality skills Students learn many lessons in college. Most of us learn what our professors expect us tolearn, at least temporarily. We learn how to get along with people who come from various lifestyles andupbringings. Some students learn independence and responsibility while others learn how to avoidthem. One such responsibility students, with help from their professors, have learned to avoid is takingthe junior writing exam. And that's bad. The junior writing exam and writing intensive program weredesigned to enable students to function better in the "real world." The purpose is to bring students out ofthe narrow course they follow in their major and teach them a skill everyone needs. It may sound just like a GUR, but it's different. G U Rs are part of our liberal arts education. They increase our awareness ofissues and places outside of Western. They often don't, however, teach us how to communicate.Regardless of what field we enter, we all must be able to exchange ideas. Often those ideas must be inwritten form. If the person who receives the message can't understand it, communication has failed.That is what Western's writing program is designed to prevent. Western's standards were raised with theinception of the writing intensive program. The hope is the quality of Western's graduates also willincrease. All students should seek that quality. After all, how do you think the 'Great Communicator' gotstarted? $1,500 debt isn't a fantasy this time Fantasy and reality blend together for people on the edgeol cerebral destruction. And that's all right, until those who can handle the reality part have to beginflashing their American Express cards to pick up the bill. That's $ 1,500 worth of reality from the fantasyminded. Each year the Science Fiction and Fantasy Club, an Associated Students club, sponsors Viking Con. a science-fiction convention. This year Vikimi Con was the victim of poor budgeting by the club,which has resulted in outstanding bills totalling $ 1.500. The tab lor the excursion into the weekend pathof non-existence now must be paid by the AS Activities Council, which is funded by you and me.The"club received $5,600 worth of loans, which are supposed to be repaid from the convention income.The club invested its moncv into such realistic items as first-class air fare and hotel rooms for itsspeakers from California, $620 in television advertising and more than $400 in T-shirts that weren't sold. "We won't do that again," said Viking Con budget "expert" Arthur Owen, referring to the advertising. Ohreally? That's a thought. This is the same club that brought you the movie "Flesh Gordon" last quarter.That fundraising venture netted the club a negative balance of $ 120. But at least'they paid their own billsthat time. With the Activities Council paying for their mistakes, they were free to lose really big this time. The group probably won't be able to pay its debt by the May 1 deadline, or for that matter, by the end ofthe year when the Activities Council must balance its budget. But it should make every effort toreimburse the council (and ultimately you and me) as soon as possible. In the future the SFFC shouldmake sure it can pay its bills before venturing into the final frontier. â€¢HnnHI Those dirty divorces Menclaim they've HADD it Husbands Against Dirty Divorces is the newest thing in groups. HADD's statedpurpose is to seek equality in divorce proceedings. "To guarantee that men receive the sameconsideration as their ex-wives in the courts." Joe Karl, founder and Seattle businessman, said.HADD claims divorce statutes are becoming increasingly unfair and unequal. "When it comes to thecourts, it's a case where they (women) unequivocally have more rights then men." Karl said. At arecent meeting the group outlined plans to change Washington state's divorce laws, which are genderneutral. Male or female roles are not specified when a marriage is disolved. So how can women havemore rights in a state where either the man or woman may file for the divorce, and specific desires onsupport, property and children are stated by the filing party, leaving the respondent 60 days to reply withcounter requests? Perhaps the group's real purpose is to change the divorce laws to read more favorably concerning the husband. ililBIll Hersman SHH111 Inequalities in divorce laws. Karl said, include abias toward women in property settlement. The need then is not to change the laws but to change theattitude of the judges applying those laws. The law does not discriminate as to who pays childsupport or spousal support. According to the Washington State Bar Association, laws provide for thedivision of property, but they do not require that the division be equal. Karl also claims visitationrights are problematic because of restraining orders. He said it takes months to fight these in court. Andafter the divorce. Karl claims, wives continually violate the visitation rights established, leaving thefather little recourse beyond more court proceedings. Karl, mavbe what you need is a new lawyer.Washington state divorce law provides either spouse with the option of obtaining temporary orders forchild custody, support or occupancy of the home. A proceeding may be initiated to resolve disputesbefore the hearing to decide the requests. The law provides both parents with an equal right to custody;neither automatically is given custody. If joint custody is not awarded, reasonable visitation rights usually are provided. If a spouse refuses to grant visitation rights, and it is part of the court order, that personmay be held in contempt, jailed or fined. Karl claims if a man is denied visitation rights and can't affordto pursue it in court his only option is to kidnap his kids. Washington state provides a law to cover thattoo Karl. and. kidnapping isn't legal. Divorce isn't a pleasant thing. The fact that many men find it a badexperience doesn't mean the need exists to change the laws. Perhaps HADD would best serve itspurpose by providing a support group for other men involved in divorce. Guest commentary I couldn'tbelieve my eyes Here's the scene. The quarter is finished, it's spring break and I'm sitting at homewatching all the beer-guzzling fools in Fort Lauderdale on MTV. As I sit, wishing I was with them, I hearthe sound of the mail truck. I meet the postman outside, engage in some pointless small talk aboutright-hand-drive vehicles, and wait nervously for that envelope from good ol' Western. No dice. Another no-show on my grades. A week of this went by until I came home one afternoon and was handed theenvelope by my mom. She looked at me expectantly, in much the same way the directors orproducers of movies look right before the winner is announced. I remind her "The Color Purple" didn'treceive a single award, and regardless of that I still think Steven Spielberg is a genius. I ripped open theenvelope and looked at the sickly yellow sheet before me. I was shocked. I asked Mom to sit down. She looked worried and asked me how I did. I handed her the sheet. She looked at and said, "I can't read athing." The carbon copy that Western sent me was illegible. â€¢HlliilBllll ll^llllllll '^^^mmmSSS i i | | | | | i| i i | | | | | | #% L ^p:;iÂ«I*Â«^:;:. gt;^^M^Â» %HBr y.^^^^ik:;,.. Mom murmered something about, "Youprobably did well" and left the room. I was left wondering if Steve's "Color Purple" actually was printedon one of those award cards but was printed so badly that, to save embarrassment, the reader of it wentwith the flow and said, "Out of Africa." His mom probably thought Steve did well, too. 1 was upset.Whether I did well or not isn't the point. After all the work and sweat that went into that quarter here, andafter all the times 1 got stuck conversing with our talkative "means well" postman during break. I shouldat least be able to expect that I could read a simple letter sent to me by an "institution of highereducation." I thought about what goes through the minds of the people who see this thing last beforethey send it. Do they know that it can't be made out without the aid of a professional decipherer? .OK,OK. so maybe there's a good reason for me receiving a poor copy. Perhaps the school doesn't haveenough money to send me a good copy. Maybe the school has a budget problem in the area of mailinginformation to students. Sure it does. I guess that's why housing and tuition both bill me 5.7 times morethan they should with tons of dark, readable letters all over the page, including the little note on thebottom telling me to disregard the letter if I've already paid. I know, those guys are in a differentdepartment. So let's work together! Let's round up a group, slap in a tape of "We are the World" and print some of these grades clearly. I can see it now. We could call it "Grade Aid." or "Rating Relief." I don'thave all the answers, but I do know that when I get good grades in the classroom they should be goodwhen they eventually turn up at my mailbox. Perhaps if the people who sit in those higher seats put alittle more thought into what they do, guys like Spielberg wouldn't have to stick to space fantasies forrecognition. ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 5 ---------- TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 5 Letters liiwiiMiiftiftiSiii^MB^fcl l|ll|i^j|^^^^lpl|llll||^i^ Poetbelieves nobody cares Western Front: And people came and people went and nothing was said andnothing was said And nothing was said of the bombs we lain nothing was said for the children slainnothing but nothing in the wake of expense nothing but nothing in the name of defense No one cries forlives anymore no one cries no one cries No one cries when a child dies If the child's not theirs whocares who cares Who cares for the leaders when time is no longer Who cares for the killings whenkilling mean stronger Stronger positions stronger capability Who cares Who cares that it's strongerstupidity The world keeps turning turning it turns and nobody learns and nobody learns And nobodylearns of other's concerns 'Cause we're all wrapped tight gotta fight! gotta fight!

Drue Robinson AS is wasting time and energy Western Front: Having just finished reading YvonneWard and Jeff Doyle's letters of April 15, I wondered what role the AS ought to play in campus life. Itseemed to me that .a student's organization ought to be primarily concerned with student issues.There is by no means a lack of problems to which such an organization might direct its energy. Such agroup might play an active part in directing the campus programs that serve a wide range of studentneeds and interests, such as: room and board, day care, public safety, athletics on all levels,entertainment, etc. These student representatives might also take an interest in the' direction that theadministration is taking the university. They might involve themselves with the current evaluation of thecurriculum and the processes of hiring, tenure review and promotion of faculty. Such a groupcould represent student interests in the procurement of facilities and equipment and lobby for increasedfunding for the library, the heart of any university. The AS could also sponsor lectures of political andacademic interest, and The Front could at least publicize those lectures sponsored by the variousdepartments. I wish to allay a number of objections to my position which I foresee occurring to somereaders. First, I am not defending The Front for its consistently sloppy journalism or its editorial board and their conservative agenda. Second, I am not advocating anything like the type of studentinvolvement encouraged by Reed Irving's Accuracy in Academia, nor am I denigrating concern for humanand civil rights. Student awareness of these issues, especially in today's political climate, is important,and students have as much right as anyone else to express their opinions. As important as theseissues are, they ought not, I think, become the single preoccupation of the AS but should be anintegral part of student concern. Last year's senseless, boring and interminable wrangle over the saleof Penthouse magazine in the campus bookstore is a prime example of student repre-sentitives wastingtheir time and energy. The AS might better spend its time helping the administration forge a coherentcurriculum and encouraging students, to develop well-informed opinions on current issues of academic.â€¢ as well as social importance.

The men's department has a lot more colors than inthe past, said Mike Rogers, a salesman at the Golden Rule in Bellingham. Genera, Heet, Union Bay andCM.A. are among the brand names that appear to be top sellers this spring. "The high school and college age guys are wearing a lot more shirts, ties, and pants with some kind of design on them. Sometimes even the girls are down here buying things for themselves, but you'd never catch a guy going into thegirl's department though," Rogers said. "It's taken a lot of getting used to, (men's new fashion), in thepast the majority of mens'clothes were the browns, whites, blues and maybe an occasional yellow.Yellow is really popular," Rogers said. Bob Holbrook, a Western business major, said he's seeing a lotof changes in the men's clothing department. "I've noticed there's more stripes and pastel colors thisSpring." Holbrook said. "More options are open and it's no longer feminine to wear pink." Holbrooksaid. "We're becoming more fashion conscious now, but there's still a long way to go. I think (men'sfashion) started to change in about the .'70s, or about the time polyester went out," he said. BRIANurA.s Bruce Smith sports the Miami-Vice look. Rogers said that the look this spring is assorted pastelcolors, the most popular being the yellows %. and mint greens. Colors are no longer limited to women,he said. Also not limited to just women is the need for good skin care. '*â€¢ Kris Pearson, a Cliniqueconsultant at Place Two in Bellingham, said "men are becoming much ^ | more fashion conscious and alot more men are coming up to the (Clinique) counter. "Ads have a lot to do with it. I've seen (the marketfor men's skin care products) go nothing but up." Pearson said. Clinique's skin-care system for men issimilar to 0, the women's line "The concept is the same but it's tailored for men," she said. . Mengenerally need products that are stronger compared to women's needs. "Clinique's computer system was devised by dermatologists to determine the strength and con- _ dition of the skin." Pearson said. "A lotof times â„¢ what you'll find men doing is using women's products." "Men have thicker skin whichproduces more collagen and that's why they age slower," said Lori Davison, an Estee Lauder countermanager at The Bon Marche in Bellingham. "Women have always % been taught to take care of theirskin," Davison said "and that's why the market for women's products is greater than men's." Barry Dunn, owner of La Parfumerie in Bellingham said many men aren't educated or aware of their basic skin care needs. Dunn also mentioned ^ that some of the men coming in buy women's products.

"We want to keep the healthy masculine look and thebronzer gives your face that healthy look," Holbrook said. 0"The market for men's skin-care products has gone as far as it can go," Dunn said. It's hard to sell to men, they don't seem as interested as women. A number of companies are unsure of the demand for men's skin-care products but believe there's a "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." So they keep on a large advertising budget to trv and convert men fromjust shaving, he Dunn said he has noticed an increase in sales of hair mousse and gel for men. Theproducts are advertised as grooming aids and packed in colors such as gray and black, which areconsidered to be more masculine than the pastel colors used for women's styling products.

By Craig Daly staff'reporter The women's rugby team routed Oregon State University 30-0 last Saturday, but many of theplayers were disappointed with the team's performance. OSU never came closer than the 45-yard lineuntil late in the game and had no scoring attempts against a stingy Viking defense. Still, several of theWestern players said they should have played much better. "We hesitated too much." Western propLorrie Brilla said. "Our passes, our tackling, everything needs improvement." Western Coach JohnMcCarthy agreed with Brilla, but he said most of his team's problems are due to inexperience. He said the team is, though, the best group of athletes he has ever coached. Three of his players were on thevarsity soccer team and three played for Lynda Goodrich's final-eight. National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletes tournament basketball team. "Everyone on our team is returning next year andseven of those players are in their-first year." McCarthy said. "They have been well coached in othersports. All 1 have to do is tell them where to play and they do it. They're already much better than theywere last fall." Many of Western's lost scoring opportunities came in the first 10 minutes of the game.The Vikes blew four or five scores when they brought the ball within inches of the touch-in-goal line, butwere pushed back by OSU. Western finally scored on Nancy Martin's plunge into the corner of the endzone with 10 minutes remaining in the half. Cheryl Boxx and Brilla also added tries and Paula Frenchkicked two conversions to lead the Vikings to a 16-0 half-time lead. Western scored its remain-, ingpoints in the final 12 minutes when the game was already out of reach for OSU. Lisa Fisher and KellyBillingsley added tries, and French had a try and a conversion for Western. Despite neededimprovement in tackling and passing. McCarthy was pleased with his forwards' play. The Vikeforwards controlled their own and OSU's line-outs and scrums. "The score should have beenconsiderably more if the ball movement was better, but that's inexperience. You need to learn when topass." McCarthy said.

The women's team took only seven members, and bythe end of the meet, four qualified to compete in the NAIA national championship meet. Friday, at leastfor 20 minutes, it was all Western, as two members of Western's track team stepped into slots fornationals. Kristi Dunn and Kathy Miller met the national qualifying standards for the 400-meter hurdles and the 800-meter run, respectively. They raced within minutes of each other. The two joined HollieWatson and Janell Massey. who qualified earlier in the year. Those four represented Western at themeet. Dunn qualified for nationals with a 63.94-second electronic clocking, two seconds better than herprevious best, and Miller's 2:14.8 finish sliced three seconds off of her previous best. Miller's 800 alsowas the third fastest time in the school's history. "They appeared to be feeding off of each other,"Western Coach Tony Bartlett said of the four women. "It's nice to see those people have abreakthrough like that," Bartlett said. "When you get to that meet, your cream rises to the top. Youexpect your best people to perform well." Western's fourth competitor, Watson, captured second placein the 200 with a time of 26.24. In Friday's preliminary, she tied her school record with a 25.0 clocking. She also placed second in the 100 Saturday, with a time of 12.2. "There were a lot of good sprinters,"Bartlett said. "But nobody was running very fast." Western had a very impressive performance in the two-day event, Bartlett said. The four women competed against Division-I schools: the UW, WashingtonState University, Oregon State University, the University of Idaho, the Univer- SWIMMING CLUB Aformer community swim team became the Western Swimming Club Wednesday, when it was approvedby the Associated Students Activity Counsel.

The team has plans topractice mornings in Carver pool but times have not yet been arranged.

"Massey and Miller both havenational experience and are not intimidated by Division I schools," he said. "Our nationals are eventougher than this meet." For the weekend meet Bartlett was most impressed with Miller's performance in the 800. Miller, a 400-meter runner, has made the transition to the 800 this year. "You've got to learnhow to run the 800," Bartlett said. "Once you start to relax, you start to run fast." Miller accomplishedthis feat in Friday's race. Other Western placers included Lola Johnston, fourth in the 400 with a time of60.96; Sherrie Haynes, sixth in the 400 in 61.44; the Viking 4x400 team of Massey, Miller, Haynes, and Johnston, fourth with a 4:05.04 clocking; and Meghan Neary, eighth in the 100 meter hurdles. TheShotwell Invitational Saturday at the University of Puget Sound gave other members of Western's team a chance to display their talents. Jessie MacMurchie was third in the 10,000-meter (43:14.4); KirstenRostedt was fourth in the 10,000 (47:15.5); Karla Hethe-rington was third in the javelin (107-2). TeresaVanderpool finished second in the discus (105-0) and third in the shot put (36-8 !/2); Chris Ohlsen wasthird in the discus (104-3); Meghan Neary was second in the 100 hurdles (15.7); and Michelle Refvikwas second in the 800 (2:22.0).

Predictable in the best of ways, it's got a great cast and many memorable moments.Set in New York City, the film begins with Hannah (Mia Farrow) serving Thanksgiving dinner for her two sisters, her parents, her husband, her children and umpteen other guests. Of course, the meal issplendid, and remarkably she prepared it with, the aid of only one black maid. The movie ends withexactly the same scene, two years later. A few things, however, have happened since then. Elliot(Michael Caine), Hannah's husband, has a passionate affair with Hannah's sister, Lee (BarbaraHershey). He leads her to believe his marriage to Hannah is faltering, so she leaves her intellectual,socially-misfit boyfriend, Frederick (Max von Sydow). Later, she leaves Elliot for yet anotherintellectual man. Hannah never knows about the affair. She's too busy. A suc- CONTRACEPTIVES TheRubber Tree â€¢ Condoms â€” Over 40 Varieties â€¢ Foams.

Though she has the loving support of her parents (played wonderfully byLloyd Nolan and Maureen O'Sullivan). she has a strained relationship with her other sister. Holly, adown-on-her- luck actress. Though Hannah supports Holly financially and emotionally. Holly feels thepressure of not measuring up to her sister's success. Dianne Wiest's portrayal of Holly as a neurotic,chain-" smoking, cocaine-tooting sibling is a definite highlight of the film. Her character, one of the most well-rounded in the film, is at the same time funny and despicable. And though she winds up withHannah's ex-husband Mickey Sachs (Woody Allen), she comes out on top. The movie has a fewproblems with character depth. Relying on sterotypes, Allen portrays Hannah as your basic MotherEarth. She is the focus of the film, yet she has no real focus, nor do we ever get the feeling we knowher. Despite its Haws, "Hannah and Her. Sisters" is a must-see.

Her current exhibit at the Chrysalis Gallery, "In Retrospect," includes worksZimmerman did in the 1920's. That was before she gave up art to devote herself to her husband andfamily. Zimmerman graduated from high school during the Great Depression. It was a time when women were expected to stay home and raise a family. Few went to college and even fewer would haveattempted a career as an artist. "When I was young, we didn't have careers, we just had jobs. Whenyou got married . . . you were supposed to quit work and stay home," Zimmerman said. Zimmerman didjust that, and as her family grew larger, her spare time decreased. Art quickly became secondary toraising a family. Making posters and small projects for her children's schools became her only artisticoutlet. But Zimmerman isn't bitter about the choice society made for her. "I'm sure that if I had gone tocollege right after high school or even within the next ten years, my life would have been a whole lotdifferent," she said. "But there are a lot of things I've had in my life that I wouldn't give up, especially mykids. You can have it one way or the other.

She prefers the former and can trace her love for the print to illustrations she saw as a child ina copy of Dante's "Inferno." The book included several prints by Dorer, a French artist. "I would sit thereand look at that book for hours. 1 was just fascinated with the way those prints were done," she said.Zimmerman's work includes a variety of subjects.

'Lots of billsbut too many vetoes' say Reps. by MARSHALL BROWN National elections are over a year away, butpolitical drums were sounding at a press conference held by Washington state's seven Congressmen atthe Leopold Inn at noon on Friday. Charges by the Ford Administration that Congress has been a. "do-nothing" body were disputed by the panel of representatives, including lone Republican Joel Pritchard. He said he would give Congress an "A rating." The conference was part of a statewide consensus findingand fact giving tour by the Congressmen. Bellingham was the tour's second to last stop. Tom Foley (5thDist.) laid any federal do-nothingness back on the White House. "We have passed many important bills," Foley said. "Some have become law, but many have been vetoed. President Ford has vetoed 37 bills in13 months. . Â«Foley, 45, is chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. He is the youngest fullcommittee chairman in the Congress. 200 Mile Fishing Limit Pritchard (1st Dist.) told the conferencethat a bill establishing a 200 mile offshore fishing boundary has a good chance of being signed by Fordafter it clears the Senate. The House approved the bill recently just before recessing for Columbus Day.Freshman Congressman Don Bonker (3rd Dist.) disagreed. "There will probably be a veto," he said. Headded, however, that he thought there would be enough votes to override a veto. Bonker said Ford wouldveto the bill on Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's advice that the matter should be handled by theinternational Law of the Seas Conference. Bonker also said it is hard for the U.S. to impose a 200 mile limit while encouraging American tuna fishermen to disregard 200 mile limits set by South Americannations. "It is in the best interests of the U.S. to move now," Pritchard said. The South American limitdiffers from ours because theirs is territorip. awhile ours is an economical measure, he said. EnergyMuch of the conference was spent in covering the energy issue. The panel addressed the issue bothdirectly and as a probabaly presidential election issue next year. Mike McCormack (7th Dist.) clarified apopular misconception about who uses hydroelectric power produced in the Northwest. "We've beensharing power with the South- PRESS CONFERENCE â€” Rep. Tom Foley [left] points the blame towardthe White House for vetoing 37 bills in 13 months. Rep. Lloyd Meeds [right] looks on. west for years. It'snothing new," he said. McCormack, introduced by Rep. Lloyd Meeds (2nd Dist.) as "Mr. Energy inCongress," said the Northwest shares power during the summer," when they (the Southwest) need it forair conditioning and all that." The Southwest,,.in^.Utiii â€¢. turn, shares power with the Northwest duringwinter, he said. McCormack said the President has not been fair when talking to the American peopleabout his energy program and the Congress' lack of a plan. McCormack cited several bills, such as thestrip mining and housing insulation acts, which have been passed by Congress and vetoed by Ford. "Onevery aspect of the energy issue, the President and the Office of Budget Management have dragged theirfeet," McCormack said. The administration has even failed to put generators on existing dams on theColumbia and Snake Rivers, he said. "Energy policy is not just oil price decontrol, it's a verycomplicated issue," said McCormack. State Initiatives Sidestepped The Congressmen sidesteppedquestions dealing with the death penalty and corporate income tax initiatives that will appear onWashington's November ballot. After Meeds reaffirmed his opposition to the death penalty, Rep. Foleysaid he thought it would be improper for the panel to discuss local issues. "If we all gave our positions, it would appear as a Congressional delegation stand," Foley said. He did say he agreed with Meeds,however. No other panelists spoke about the issues. National Health Care Brock Adams (6th Dist.) saidnational health insurance will be a major campaign issue next year, but that he doubted any legislationon it would get to the floor in Congress. Adams is the newly elected chairman of the joint CongressionalBudget Committee. He was picked by the House Democratic Caucus. Adams' views were echoed byMeeds. "The type of health care plan is the issue, not whether or not one should be passed," Meedssaid. "Right now, there just isn't enough money. "There are funds available, though, to startreorganization of medical services in the U.S." After the press conference, the congressmen joined a $5-a-plate lunch sponsored by the '^Bellingham Chamber of Commerce. ---------- Western Front - 1975 October 21 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front â€¢:^JKÂ£^sttÂ».0-i^heiiifT Tuesday,' October 21,197$ Baker activity perplexesgeologists; steam, gases may cause mudslides by TIM JOHNSON Mt. Baker is puffing contentedly butthe scientists poking thermometers down its vents are still perplexed at the mountain's activity.University of Washington geologist Steve Malone said the increased steam activity and changes ingravity around the crater show that something important is going on. But Malone is puzzled about what itmeans. John Eichelberger of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory said he has seen no compellingevidence that fresh magma (molten rock) is rising. Don Swansonwho is coordinating the monitoringactivity on Mt. Baker said the lack of tremors with this sort of behavior is very interesting. He said therecent earthquake in Anacortes was not related with Baker's activity. So far none of the monitoringdevices have recorded any tremors, Swanson said. A primary concern for geologists now is LaharLookout, a huge rock outcropping directly over one. of the steam vents. Swanson said the exposure togases and steam has weakened the rock and is turning it to mud. Muddied portions of the rock havealready slid into vents, clogging them until spewed out across the crater by the pressure below.Geologists fear Lahar Lookout may break loose from the crater rim in a massive mudflow, sliding downthe mountain at "hurricane velocities," Swanson said. The University of Washington hopes to install adevice to monitor any movement which might precede a mudflow, Swanson said. Although scientistsreport there is no immediate danger, the Whatcom County Department of Emergency Services isprepared to take action if anything happens, according to department manager, Herb Miller. Sirens willgo off inside the city and messages will be announced by helicopter to those in the county, Miller said.Special radio and televison broadcasts will outline emergency procedures. If Baker does erupt it willprobably shoot a lot * of volcanic ash in the air, Swanson said. Since the prevailing winds are to thenortheast, the ash will most likely be blown over uninhabited areas, he said. Lava flows, if they do occur, would be limited and of little danger, Swanson said. The most volatile eruption would be hot pyroclasticflow, an ash-like substance which would move rapidly down the mountain causing forest fires, he said.Swanson said he believes it would bubble over Sherman Crater and flow into Baker Lake. Swanson alsodiscussed the amount of acid water draining from the crater into Baker Lake. The Geological Surveyreported that the equivalent of 6,000 to 8,000 pounds of concentrated sulfuric acid is dumped into thelake by Boulder Creek each day. Marvin Fretwell of the Geological Survey in Tacoma said the denseacid water has gathered on the lake bottom in a wedge several hundred feet wide and several thousandfeet long. Fretwell said something in the lake seems to be neutralizing the acid. He said he is not surewhether sediments on the bottom are buffering the acid or the lake water is causing the change. Fretwellsaid if the acid continues to be neutralized "we're in pretty good shape," but if the acidity increases itwould effect migratory fish. SMOKING HAZARD â€” Mt. Baker is still letting off steam, much to theconcern of state and national geologists. Although they don't fea^ an eruption, plans are in the works tocope with such an emergency. Fairhaven to show film ir-" Hit-and-run driver critically injures woman ^ Ahit and run accident Friday night on Highland Drive resulted in the hospitalization of a 20-year-oldwoman. Patrice M. Ventresca, from California, suffered "closed head injuries" and is listed in criticalcondition according to a spokesperson at Providence Hospital in Everett. Ventresca was walking southat 10 p.m. on Highland Drive with John Plummer, a Western student, when she was struck by a carheaded north on Highland Drive. Witnesses said the car swerved to the right, hitting Ms. Ventresca, and continued down the hill. The car was stopped by a security officer at the intersection of Oak andGarden. An aid unit rushed Ventresca to St. Luke's Hospital. From there she was transported toProvidence Hospital and placed in intensive care. Roger B. Davis, 28, a Western student, wasarrested by Bellingham police and is being held in city jail on charges connected with the accidentFighting for our Lives' Co|jnoâ€ž considers bus tax, dog law The Bellingham Boycott SupportCommittee (BBSC) will be showing a United Farmworkers of America film, "Fighting for our Lives," today at 7 p.m. in Fairhaven Auditorium. A 50 cent donation is required. Other showings will be Thursday,Oct. 23 at 3 and 9 p.m. in Fairhaven Auditorium, and at 7:30 p.m., the film will be shown at the CampusChristian Ministry building. The film is a history of the organizing of farmworkers, specifically theUnited Farm Workers (UFW). It gives details of Cesar Chavez's moves in organizing and the entrance of the Teamster's Union in 1970 to compete with the UFW. The film ends with the funeral of Juan De LaCruz, a 60- year-old striker and charter UFW member. He was shot by a strikebreaker, while he was on a picketline. Joan Baez sings "Deportee" at the funeral. All proceeds of the film will help pay legal feesfor the UFW in California. Lyell Fox, a spokesperson for the BBSC said, "They are contesting recentelections, so the fees are piling up." Recent elections in California have been hampered by a new farmlabor law. The law states that once a union is certified in an election, the grower is forbidden to sign acontract with any other union. The law cannot force a grower to sign a contract with the winning union.The law also provides for the American Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to oversee elections and enforce the law so elections will be free and fair. by AMY NELSON BRISTOW A sales tax for funding citybuses and a tightened animal control ordinance have been scrutinized recently by the Bellingham CityCouncil. The council was expected to take a final vote on the propositions at its meeting last night incity hall. Voters in September's primary election granted the council the responsibility of drafting an ordinance levying a three mil sales tax to fund the city's transit system. The monies would enable thetransit system to consider new routes, more routes and other increased services and to scheduleequipment repair, according, to Ed Griemsmann, transit director. Griemsmann, when contactedlast week, said he expected Night bus running into financial woes An AS subsidized project needs non-student involvement to stay alive. The newly established night bus run, funded jointly by the AS,Western and the city of Bellingham is a trial project, providing free evening public transportation toWestern students. Non-students must pay regular fares. However, it will be terminated Dec. 31 unless more non-students use it. The city plans to use the fares collected on the night run to recover its half-share in the $3,500 project. According to Judy Simmer, head of Rape Relief and a key person inorganizing the service, the real issue is how many non-students use the service. She said the service will be refunded if the ridership increases. City Transit Manager, Ed Griemsmann, said 1,398 people hadused the night bus, however fare counts show that only 219 of these are non-students. Griemsmann said the number of riders per night peaked at 152 last week. Route 3, a daytime run, carries about 500people during four hours. City council president Dennis Braddock said the council's main concern is notfares collected, but demand. He said it wouldn't matter who the riders were as long as the service wasutilized. In late November or early December, Simmer and a committee composed of people from theAS, Western and the city council will meet to decide on a recommendation to the city council. Alongwith this recommendation, the council will also consider an evaluation of the project by the transitmanager. The night run begins at Magnolia and Cornwall travels up High St. past the VU and residencehalls, goes by Fairhaven College, down College Parkway and ends at the mall. The bus then returnsdowntown by the same route. Bus hours are 7-11 p.m. weekdays and 7:30-11 p.m. weekends. The busstops in front of the VU at 10 after and 20 minutes til the hour, for rides to the mall, and 25 minutes afterand 5 minutes before the hour for rides downtown. the council to pass the ordinance. The tax wouldbecome effective Jan. 1, 1976. The state legislature authorized cities to choose a sales tax formass transit funding this year when it eliminated state funds previously used for such programs.Griemsmann said the tax would not affect the night shuttle route serving Western students. That serviceis run according to a charter agreement between the transit system, the Associated Students andthe college. It does not operate with mass transit funds. About 150-160 passengers use the nightsystem now, said Griemsmann. Those figures are up from the 49 to 70 passengers counted on thebuses nightly just after the quarter began. Controversy concerning the proposed animal control lawrevision centers around how dogs must be controlled when off their owners' premises. If passed, the new ordinance would require a dog be on a leash when off its owners' premises. The previous law requiredonly that a dog be under voice control of its owner. ---------- Western Front - 1975 October 21 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, October 21,1975.. Western Front _ 3 Thief gets little reward for work Western's OutdoorProgram was ripped off of about $2000 worth of equipment last week. According to Doug Wilcox, headof the Outdoor Program, the stolen articles include two slide shows and photo display boards used inpresentations around the area. Also stolen were personal articles including down sleeping bags andcoats, clothes and a car radio. "They took everything we had with us," Wilcox said. None of the articleswere insured. Wilcox and Pete Fromm, another program worker, had given a slide presentation and talk at Bellevue Community College last Wednesday evening. On the way back to Bellingham onThursday, they stopped at Gomier Hot Springs, where they left Fromm's van locked with the equipmentinside and took off on bicycles. A short time later they returned to find the van cleaned of itscontents, worth an estimated $2000. Apparently the thief didn't know what he was taking and mayhave discarded the slides and photo display later. The King County sheriffs office has been notifiedalong with local authorities. "We'd like anyone who might find the equipment or who knows anythingabout it to either get hold of us or the police department." Wilcox said, "It's worthless for the thief tokeep the pictures, they're of no value to him." The photo displays had been mounted in the VikingCommons until recently. Both slides and displays illustrate recreation program activities. v scAue\?sc?buRcb?: uobx: ceucuRy is zbis? HEY.,, ussfiN qeof^E we PAY OUR TAXES-OUR wwAre"SCHOOLS MEED HRf?.

Voter's book now ready The Bellingham League of Women Voters has freepamphlets on six Nov. 4 ballot issues available at the Bellingham Public Library. The pamphlets,according to a League spokesperson, define arguments of supporters and opponents of each measure,and give background information on each issue. by VAL SOSNOW In voting on House Resolution 19in the Nov. 4 general election, Washingtonians will either permit or disallow state assistance to privateschool students. If HJR 19 passes, the state legislature could adopt several new programs for privateschools, such as 1) loans and tuition supplements, 2) bus transportation, 3) loan of non-religioustextbooks, and 4) provision of health services and counseling. These limited types of assistance arepermitted under the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court has developed guidelines to be applied to private school aid. The statute establishing or authorizing the program must have a "primary effect" that neither advances or inhibits religion. Both the State Attorney General and State Supreme Court havesaid Washington's constitution is among the most restrictive of all 50 state constitutions. HJR 19proponents say the Washington constitution, in regard to private school aid, is out of step with the federal constitution and other state constitutions. Sixteen states have textbook loan programs. Twenty-ninestates provide bus transportation. Eighteen states provide health services, while 34 states giveassistance to private college students. Private school and college students' parents have said theydeserve to have their expenses for their children's schooling lessened because they pay taxes to supportpublic schools. The promotion of diversity in education as an asset in American society is another pointin the case of HJR 19 proponents. HJR 19 opponents say public tax money should not be spent forreligious purposes. Meanwhile, contributions to private schools are tax deductible. Sending children, to private schools is a conscious decision, opponents say, which relies on additional rites not entertainedby public schools. Another contention of opponents is that private schools already share federal progrms with public schools, and that Washington is already having its share of problems providing -money forpublic education.

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL . . ." whose eyes aren't slanted and whose skin isn't darkerthan most. Robert Lawrence, 21-year-old resident of Marietta Village near the Lummi Reservation, was recently found guilty of a crime to which another man confessed before Whatcom County SuperiorCourt Judge Byron Swedberg in a Sept. 5 retrial.' Lawrence, a parolee from Walla Walla State Prisonwho has been employed as a caretaker for Lummi Indian Tribal Enterprises, was arrested inBellingham on the evening of June 17, while the man actually being chased managed to escape. Though acquitted of the charge "second degree assault of an officer" in an Aug. 7 trial, the jury was unable toreach a verdict on the other charge of "illegal possession of a firearm." LETITBESAID FROM THISCOLD PRISON BED TO THEM WHOSE EYES AIN'T SO TIRED AND BLURRY THAT IN THEIRCOURTS THEY CAN TRUST, JUSTDONT TELL ME I MUST BELIEVE IN THEIR ALL PALErFACEJURY Mike Moynihan, Prosecuting, attorney for the State succeeded in convincing Lawrence'ssecond all-White jury to disregard the testimony of Israel James, key witness for the defense. James,also from the Lummi 'Reservation, admitted while on the witness stand that he, not Lawrence hadpossession of the pistol during the encounter with the two Bellingham Police Officers. James, who had escaped for only a few hours after being pursued by Bellingham Police Officer Terry White, wasreleased from County Jail the foDowing day. Lawrence, however, whom Officer White "ran into entirelyby accident," is still being held in County Jail pending his sentencing to either Monroe or Walla WallaState Prison. I'VE KNOWN TOO MANY INNOCENT SISTERS AND BROTHERS SOME BLACKS,SOME INDIANS SOME CHICANOS AND OTHERS THATVE BEEN CONVICTED JUST BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN CAUSE THE DAMN JURIES CONSISTED ONLY OF WHITE WOMEN AND MENMany facts pointed out by Lawrence's court-appointed defense attorney, Joe Chavis, are clearlyindicative of Lawrence's innocence. In the angry opinion of this reporter, both the evidence and thetestimonies of all witnesses entirely eliminated any real possibilities of unprejudiced jurors findingLawrence "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." According to court testimony: "The weapon was foundon the ground someplace near the location where the two men were first contronted" by the officers.Officer Timothy Lintz, one of the two arresting officers who testified to having been very near the two men when they were first confronted, "did not even know of the existence of the weapon found on the grounduntil after officer White later apprehended Lawrence several blocks away." Officer Terry White testifiedthat he "had chased after James, instead of Lawrence," even after Lawrence had alledgedly just tried topull a gun on him. "No fingerprints were ever even taken on the pistol" though both men were arrestedbefore morning, and both men wore coats which were long enough to hide a pistol under their belts. Butsuch is the traditional fate for a minority defendant with our present jury selection system. "The gun hadbeen loaned to James, not to Lawrence" according to the testimony of James Hillaire, , owner of thepistol. Officer White testified that he remembered Lawrence from some uncertain events in the past,which was why he originally followed the two men towards the Bellingham Parkade, where the encounter took place. Moynihan used the following points in his main attack on the defendant: Lawrence hadalready proven that he is a violent person when he had committed the felony for which he wasimprisoned just a few years ago. Lawrence had in fact pulled a gun on Officer White.then had it knockedout of his hand when James was spun around and pushed into him at the first moment of theirconfrontation, *as indicated by Officer White. Lawrence had proven his guilt by running from the officers,'(though they had just been physically confronted without any warning or other verbal exchangewhatsoever. After each attorney had made his final argument, the entire Lawrence family was every bitas certain as this reporter that Lawrence would finally be free. No possibility even existed for anyunprejudiced jurors to find him GUILTY beyond a reasonable doubt. "WITH. . . JUSTICE FOR ALL"I'VE HEARD WHITE FOLKS SAY "WE'RE THE FREE'EST NATION ANYWHERE ON EARTH" YETMINORITIES NEVER GOT THEIR SHARE OF THAT JUSTICE FOR ALL NOT IN 200 YEARS SINCETHIS NATION'S BIRTH " . . . WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL . . . whose eyes aren't slantedand whose skin isn't darker than most." It seems altogether reasonable to add "and who do not have aprior prison record."

During the three months that the center was open (last year), recycledwere: 17,000 pounds of cardboard and paper; 18,000 pounds of glass and tin; 300 pounds of aluminumand 362 cases of beer bottles. The Recycling Center not only proved that the entire program could beeconomically feasible, but also smoothly and efficiently run. Since the Recycling Center is primarilycommunity-oriented, the need has been realized for a recycling program that focuses on the residencehalls at Western. The program is now underway in five halls. Expansion is planned to providerecycling services for all residence halls. There have been and still exist recycling efforts in some halls:these are -not to be overlooked. The current program seeks to coordinate all efforts so as to reachmaximum efficiency. The Residence Hall Recycling Program is for all students living in campushousing. All are encouraged to participate in the recycling effort. Those involved with the HuxleyRecycling Center and the Residence Hall Recycling Program recognize the need for recycling andhope to generate and coordinate student interest. These programs, in addition to others, areconcrete solutions to the very real problems of resource depletion and recovery. Dennis SmithHuxley Resource Coordinator Editor, Western Front: Erik Magunson (author of Project PerFECT: analternative to jail) should be jailed for writing: "Randy Carribeau, 27, does not like some aspects of theproject. Tall and muscular with shoulder-length dark brown hair and a gold ring in his left-nostril, ,helooks like the wrong person to start an argument with." Comments like this help keep the recidivismrate high. This opening remark immediately tells the Front's readers to stay clear of Randy Carribeaubecause he looks, in Magnu-son's eyes, like a criminal. He judged this individual (plus misquoted him)by his looks, not knowing anything else about him. This type of action reinforces the deviant label.How many times must an offender pay for a crime he committed after being released "from the walls?"Is Mr. Magnuson a reflection of our society as a whole? Maybe Erik Magnuson should switch roles for a week â€” go out and try to land a job with a criminal record, try finding a place to live or perhaps buying something on credit. Give these people a chance â€” get to KNOW them. It may make a better personout of you.

"By model I mean what can be done, what can be unique in this area,"Amsbaugh said. Amsbaugh is in charge of the neighborhood's â€¢ proposed street tree program. Thedevelopment, which will be concentrated on the area that was the original town of Whatcom (from belowDupont Street to the waterline) is the result of a $500,000 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant.The residents, rather than the city, are deciding what to do in their neighborhood. Through a series ofpublic meetings, city planners and engineers receive ideas that they will turn into actuality. "The HUDgrant is seed money," Ambsaugh said. "It gives them (the people of BeUingham) an idea of what can bedone. In theory, HUD wants a representative model of what can be done." The lettered street residentsdecided on area projects that were needed, all of which will probably be finished by the spring or summerof 1976, Amsbaugh said. "Hopefully, looking at the information we gather, we will be able to come upwith a common consensus of what this neighborhood should be." Bingham said. Included in the projectis a small "pocket park" to be formed on Broadway Street. Also, about 9,000 feet of sidewalk will beadded to the area, and repaving will be done where the residents decide it is needed, city engineer LarryLiecht said. Gail Bingham, a program planner hired by the city, said much of the city's sewer system,which was laid in the 1890s, will be replaced when the streets are repaved. The residents also want atraffic diverter system to ease traffic flow and noise. Last Wednesday night about 50 people in thelettered street area, mostly home owners, met at Whatcom Middle School. The letter street residentstook matters into their own hands early this year by organizing and requesting the HUD grant. They alsodecided how much money was to be used on each project. Gripes, suggestions, opinions and ideas forchange were tape recorded at Wednesday's meeting. "There are two reasons for this," said projectcoordinator Jean Gallegos. "First, to show the federal government that these meetings were held inaccord with legal requirements. But more importantly, so that we don't forget what you say tonight."Audience comments ranged from restoration ideas to individual concerns. One man asked if he couldrefuse a tree to be planted on his property. "Say he wanted a shrub instead?" he asked. Retiring citycouncilman Robert Arnett gave a mini-speech to the audience and asked why he hadn't been invited toprevious meetings. "People that were interested came," answered a young man. "Some councilmencame consistently; some never showed up." The striking thing about Wednesday's meeting was that it was run by the letter street residents. That's apparently not so surprising for the letter street people.Several years ago, they organized and ran a neighborhood clean-up campaign, Currently, some of themare considering future housing and crime prevention programs. It this year's program goes well, theneighborhood will apply for a grant again next year, Gallegos said. One audience member remarked,"In general, the whole area is an eyesore to the entire city of BeUingham." But Amsbaugh said that theprogram may go city-wide at a later time. "HUD wants to light the fire in this area," he said. Keep apositive attitude, think metric now by VICKIE HAUGEN If may be years before Tex-ans ask for 38-literhats, Miss America measures 91-66-91, or Hank Aaron hits a towering 109-meter home run. However,the metric system is inevitably coming to the United States. "Think metric . . . now, avoid conversions.Try to keep a positive attitude," Janice Peach of the home economics department said at a metricworkshop held here Wednesday. The United States is one of only six nations in the world not on themetric system. The General Conference on Weights and Measures adopted the Systeme Internationaldes Unites or SI system (a modernized version.... of the metric system) in 1960. In 1973, the U.S.Senate WashPIRG petition signatures add up What is WashPIRG? This and other questions will beanswer-' ed at PIRG's all-campus information meeting to be held Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the VULounge. Barney Goltz will be speaking at the meeting. In the meantime, Western's PIRG coordinator,Tom Hiegler encourages students to sign PIRG petitions which are located around the campus.Before a PIRG can be established at Western a majority of students (51 per cent) must give theirapproval by signing the petitions. * Hiegler estimated that this would be about 4000 signatures. As oflast Friday around 1300 students had signed the petitions â€” a little under a third of the necessarysignatures. The petiion drive started last Tuesday. . . ,â€¢ Â± Hiegler was optimistic about the drive."We'll be at least half done within a week," he said, noting the first 840 signatures were gathered intwo days. He expects the drive to last a month because the number of signatures will begin to taperoff. Tom Wooley, also a campus PIRG coordinator, referred to last week as "a great start." WashPIRGis a student consumer advocate group modelled after a plan conceived by muckraker and consumeradvocate Ralph Nader in 1970. Many other states have PIRGs, including Oregon and Calif- If approved by a student majority, the PIRG proposal will be presented to Western's Board of Trustees foracceptance. With the Board's endorsement, quarterly tuition would be increased from $169 to$171. Students wishing a refund would b able to get one from the PIRG office in VU 213, two weeks after the quarter begins and until the end of the quarter. approved implementing the SI system in the U.S.but the House didn't agree. A major factor in the decision was blue-collar protests against conversion. It is still not mandatory, but metricization in America has begun to take place. The BeUingham schoolsystem is teaching both the metric and English system beginning at the elementary level.Speedometers on many new General Motors card use "dual graphics." More than half of cannedgoods in the U.S. are labled in both metric and customary units. For years the metric system has beenused in the pharmaceutical and tobacco industries, as well as science, photography andinternational sports events. The compelling reason for the drastic, costly, but long overdue change isbecause the English system of measurements is hard to manage and time consuming, especially ininternational trade. BAY ST .

Gloria Tarver, her daughters Trudyand Peach, and her son-in-law Lance, all have one reason for being here: to improve their employmentprospects. Gloria Tarver has been an environmentalist with the State Department of Social and HealthServices in Spokane. The department got her a grant to continue her education at Huxley. She hopes tograduate with a bachelor's degree in environmental health in two years. Tarver was the first woman to be-employed by the Water and Waste section of the Health Department. She said the other employees areall engineers. "I'm having a rough time getting study habits," said Mrs. Tarver, who previously took allnight classes. "I'm just floundering around as yet." Peach Tarver-has a bachelor's degree in history fromthe University of Washington. She hasi just returned from Zaire, formerly the Belgium Congo, where sheworked for the Peace Corps teaching English. Peach needs a minor or a second degree to help land ajob in secondary education. Men, she said, are needed as coaches. In order for women to compete forthe jobs, they need to be capable in more than one subject. Lance Packer, married to the former GinnyTarver, has a doctorate in anthropology. He spent three years in Turkey, two working in the Peace Corpsand another getting his doctorate on a fellowship from the University of Oregon. Packer is now back inschool to get a degree in elementary education. He said he doesn't want to teach at the college level,because he feels much of it is a waste of time. Packer said college students graduate, then change their majors when they find they can't get a job or don't want one in that field. He suggested having two-yeardegrees which would get the student out and working faste According to Packer, goin] education hastwo advants^es easier than women because elementary teachers.

Because They aren't vegetating on lower campus bySUKIDARDARIAN A group of lower campus residents have found a way to beat the cooking at Sagaâ€” they don't eat there, at least not on Thursdays. The students are involved in a vegetarian cookingclass, meeting once a week to cook up a storm of vegetarian delights. They get their food from Saga oneweek ahead of time and their meal cards are marked as if they had dined there. The class was organized by Laurie Ness from Nash and Jim Howe, a former Higginson resident, as an alternative to Saga dining.It is also a way to get together with other vegetarians or interested people and exchange meatlessrecipes. According to Ness, there are about 11 people involved in the class, but interest is rising andplans for more classes are underway. "Not all of the people are vegetarians. Some are practicing, someare interested and others just like to try different things," Ness said. Sally Griener, a class member, saidshe became a vegetarian three years ago because eating meat didn't agree with her metabolism, buteach member had a different reason. "Foods you eat express the nature of yourself. What you take intoyour system is what you produce," Al Scalf, resident director of Nash said. The weekly meals areprepared in his apartment. Ness said she doesn't eat meat for a number of reasons, one is the presence of chemicals and lt; sprays in the meat. "Meat is high on food chain, and the higher you get, theconcentration of food sprays you get is more," she said. "Also, if I were producing my own food, I don'tthink I could kill an animal." Scalf is "basically becoming a vegetarian." He said he's taking the class tolearn more recipes so he can become a vegetarian. What does Saga think of all this? Riley Sivertsen,director of food services, said he thought it was "a good thing." Confronted with the idea of every othercampus resident rushing to Saga trying to get similar deals Sivertsen said he thought students wouldconsider it too much work. "In the dorms, a few are putting on special dorm dinners, but on a regularbasis, I don't think it'll be a problem," he said. The vegetarian group said Saga has been cooperative with them in providing their Thursday night grits. Most of them also seemed satisfied with dining hall foods,because alternatives to meat are offered. Meg Dahlgren, who lives in Edens, became a vegetarian as a test of her will power. "I didn't need meat and I could do without it," she said. "Now the idea of eatingmeat is offensive." Dahlgren, now a junior, became a vegetarian four years ago and has since beenreinforced by the book, "A Diet for a Small Planet," which she said, tells how people are "Proteingluttons" for meat. "A lot of people overemphasize eating meat. It's refreshing cleaning out your system," Dalgren said. "The main thing is that people shouldn't stop eating meat, but should be shown that thereare alternatives." The alternatives must be working, since most of these people have been vegetarians formany years, and there have been no casualties yet. Henry David Thoreau said, "Whatever my ownpractice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradualimprovement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each otherwhen they came in contact with the more civilized." *V mxivm aszwh MANDARIN AND CANTONESEFOOD N.W.

"I wentthrough with one and a half professors for 200 students," she said. "The department really needsimprovements." Gloria and her third daughter, Tina, a senior at Bellingham High, are sharing a duplexwith Lance and Ginny. They recently bought the old house, and are trying to fix it up.

BE EC envisions drug-free emotional care byGREG HOOFNAGLE "Something is lacking in traditional mental health care faculties," according toFairhaven student Mark Tobin. For this reason Tobin, with - several other students and faculty, conceivedthe idea of establishing a Bellingham Emotional Emergency Center (BEEC), and are seeking funds forsuch a center. BEEC would resemble several other non-conventional mental health programs including Kingsley Hall in London, the Soteria House in Berkeley, Cal., and the Vancouver, (B.C.) EmotionalEmergency Centre (VEEC). The BEEC concept was taught by Fairhaven instructor Chuck Payne lastyear. The actual proposal and name for the center were worked out about two months ago, Tobin said.Funds to establish and operate the center are being sought from a number of federal, state, local andprivate sources including the Department of Social and Health Services and the Whatcom CountyMental Health Board. Grant proposal writers are needed, Tobin said. BEEC meetings are held on Fridays at 6 p.m. in the Fairhaven Administration Bldg., rm. 307. All meetings are open to the public. In a reportpresented to the Mental Health Board last Tuesday, BEEC was described as "a residential faculty thatwould provide life support and emotional support services within a single drug-free setting."

State St. The proposed center would be opento all people who are experiencing emotional crises, and who wish to 'regain their footing' without the use of psychotherapeutic drugs. According to the report, BEEC's basic philosophy is that "extremeemotional crisis, with suitable conditions of emotional and physical support, can be a constructive andgrowth-producing experience." Tobin described the "suitable conditions" as a drug-free atmosphere andavoidance of the "healthy person/unhealthy person dichotomy." All interaction between BEEC staff andclients would be on an equal basis.. "We envision a situation in which as few practical distinctions aspossible are made between staff and residents," the report says. Staffers would be required to be frankabout their own problems. In addition, the report states that BEEC would be as "home-like as possible.We plan to rent a roomy, comfortable house in a residential neighborhood." According to the report,traditional psychiatric settings cut "patients" off from their feelings. A relaxed homey atmosphere would be more conducive to the solution of emotional problems, the report said. BEEC would operate on botha drop-in and live-in basis, Tobin said. Staff would be available 24 hours a day and could help prospective residents in their decision to join the program.

However, BEEC would work inconjunction with other mental health agencies. The center would provide structured and unstructuredactivities. Structured activities would include outings, non-competitive athletics, maintenance of theBEEC house, and daily meetings which would range from "gripe" sessions to sing-a-longs. Unstructured activities would be on a one-to-one basis between staff and residents or among residents themselves.Activities would cover verbal counselling, listening, refereeing interpersonal problems, holding someonewho needs to be comforted, massage, Gesalt techniques, or whatever else skills and needs dictate.BEEC would be directed toward helping, emotionally troubled people to cope with life. "We want to helpthese people resume management of their own lives without the use of drugs," Tobin said. Manypeople who have undergone conventional psychiatric treatment are so dependent on drugs that theycope "just barely," Tobin said. "Qualified former residents will be encouraged to become staffmembers," the report said. Tobin remarked that former residents would be well-acquainted with theproblems of current residents. According to the report, BEEC would benefit both staff and residents as a"personal growth experience." "W^JTl 1421 n.

Gone to taverns everyone? Not quito, but Jack Smith, VUassociate director, thinks taverns are the main reason pool players are not as plentiful as they used to be around the Grotto's eight pool tables. "Beet wins out over quarters," Smith said, explaining the Grotto'spool rates of $1.30 an hour are cheaper than a tavern's coin-operated quarter a game rates. "We used toaverage $70 to $75 from the pool tables on a good day," Smith said. "Last year we averaged $40 to $50." "The obvious reason would be the taverns," he said. "Also, the pinball machines draw some poolplayers away." The Grotto has four pinball machines, and according to Smith, are now the biggestmoneymakers. "The original intent (of installing the pinball machines) was to give a person something todo while waiting to play pool," he said. Smith said the weather has also contributed to the loss on thepool tables. "The sun shines â€” business is bad; it rains â€” business is good." Over the past two years, he said, the weather has generally been good. The pool tables, all regulation size and resurfaced thispast summer, were the "best in town" when they were installed in 1971, according to Kay Burke, VUdirector. Since then, taverns have put in more tables and replaced older tables, she said, adding that theaverage age of the college student has changed. "It's not in the 18 to 21 bracket anymore," she said."More students are of drinking age and would rather have a beer and shoot pool." , According to Smith,the Grotto's tables are the best available commercially. He said the tables in many taverns are not asgood: some are cheaper models and others are not regulation size. And games like "8 Ball" and "9Ball," where the sinking of one ball determines the winner, can end after the first shot on coin-operatedtables, Smith said. In a random check of pool tables in local taverns, the majority of the taverns hadcoin-operated tables. On exception, the Alaska Tavern on Holly Street, charged $1.50 per hour for tablerental. According to the Grotto's financial statements, profits last year were $235 compared to an $800profit in 73-74. Smith attributes part of this loss to the pool slump. But the pinball machines have pickedup the slack somewhat. "We average $3 an hour on the pinballs," Smith said. "This is quite a lot whenyou consider we're open from ten to ten and on weekends, when business is not as good." Smith saidhe's "asked the finance office to pack one more roll of quarters," ($10) to accommodate the pinball crowd. Last year the pinballs totaled $2600 in revenue, according to Smith. He said one week's revenue thisquarter totaled $226. Hart Novelty, which supplies the machines, takes care of the maintenance andsplits the profit with the Grotto, according to Smith. Prime hours of the pinball players are between 11a.m. and 3 p.m., Smith said. And if the machine flashes TILT, remember the fate of two overzealousplayers who have already put their fists through the glass. They had to pay for it. Present This Ad AtComplete a year of French in a quarter If there's enough interest, an intensive French program may beoffered this spring, according to Bob Bales, French instructor. Originally designed for studentsinterested in traveling to Europe in the summer, the program would provide 15 French credits. Classeswould meet four days a week, four hours per day for a 10-week session. This would complete the firstyear of French in one quarter. "Past student evaluations in this type of intensive foreign language studyhave been extremely positive," said Balas. All interested students should contact Bob Balas inHumanities 243 soon, so plans for the program can be completed. ---------- Western Front - 1975 October 21 - Page 10 ---------- IQ-f W0stero lt;^pn^ Tuesday;Q$to^2h$ tlti Sports COMING THROUGH â€” Viking halfback RickVanderyacht [25] looks for running room against Eastern Washington. Vanderyacht, hampered by anearly season knee injury, played his first full game of the season as the Viks defeated the Eagles, 31-6.Coming up to make the stop are Chris Knight [54] and Gordon Hale [21] as Viking center Andy Harlinlooks on. Photo by Deborah Mithoug-Kjeldsen Gridders put it together and win BIG by BOB CO ALE Afired up Western football team sent the Eastern Washington Eagles home without the symbolic"Presidents' Axe Trophy" and minus a few tailfeathers as the Vikings ran over the Eagles, 31-6,Saturday night. On a wet, wind-swept field, the Viks avenged last year's humiliating 64-0 defeat,administered by the Eagles in Cheney. For the Vikings, it was their first win of the season against fourlosses, and it was a sweet one, to say the least. "The players who were here last year and I have beenthinking about this game for quite awhile," a happy coach Boyde Long said after the game. "It was agood effort by the whole team. After those three close losses, it was great to be able to get there thistime," he said. Spectacular plays characterized the contest. Only two-and-a-half minutes into the game,Viking quarterback Bill Mendelson threw 42 yards to freshman Hoyt Gier for the first of five Vikingtouchdowns. Mike Haerling's conversion kick was good and Western led, 7-0, at the end of the quarter. It turned out to be the Viks' only successful conversion attempt. On the second play of the secondquarter, Mendelson launched his second bomb of the night, hitting Gier again for 74 yards and a-touchdown. Halfback Bob Fenton, someone the Eagles would probably like to forget, exploded up themiddle for 51 yards, and Western's third score, behind blocking by linemen Andy Harlin, Scott Stokesand Rick Brudwick. There was 12:23 remaining in the first half. Fenton, who scored again on a two-yardrun in the third quarter, rushed for a game high total of 112 yards in 12 carries. Eastern's lone scorecame midway through the second period when linebacker Bob Altshuler scooped up a Mendelsonfumble on the Viks' 14- yard line and ran it in untouched. The kick was wide and Western took a 19-6halftime lead. Midway through the third quarter, the Viks drove 79 yards in 17 plays with Fenton's two-yard plunge capping the drive. That drive consumed nine minutes and boosted the Viks'. lead to 25-6.The Vikings' final touchdown came when reserve quarterback Terril Morgan sneaked into the end zonefrom two yards out with six minutes remaining in the game. "They just beat us," said a dissappointedEastern head coach Johnn Massengale. "We aren't as bad as the score indicates," he added, "butWestern played very well and deserved to win." Along with the game, the Viks also won the statisticsbattle as they amassed 21 first downs to the Eagles' 16 and 230 yards rushing to Eastern's 70. Â«â€¢In total offense, the Viks gained a whopping total of 434 yards compared to 297 for the Eagles.Western fumbled three times, losing one, while Eastern, surprisingly, considering the slipperyconditions, had none. Gier had a big night for the Viks, catching five passes for 156 yards and twotouchdowns. In the process, he set a new school record for reception yardage in one game. The oldrecord was set by Steve Jasmer in 1971. The 31 points chalked up by the Viks is the highest total since their 1971 championship season when they scored 42 against Whitworth, and it was their first win atCivic Field since 1972, when they defeated Oregon College of Education (OCE). The game's enthusiasm was heightened by the presence of the Western Pep Band and by some substitute cheerleaders from Capital High School in Olympia, brought to Belling-ham by Viking defensive end Chuck Houser'smother, especially for the game. Next Saturday, Western travels to Monmouth, Ore. to play the OCEWolves, Game time is 1:30. Soccer team plays home opener Despite a 3-1 loss to Pacific Lutheran,Western's soccer club played pretty good Saturday, according to player coach Kevin Regan.Freshman Buzz Burns scored the single goal for Western, and can add that to the two he scoredagainst the University of Puget Sound in an earlier game. "We were consistent," Regan said. "It's thebest game we've played so far. A few things just didn't go right." Da wood Kho8hnood and BruceCampbell also played well, Regan said. Western will have its first home game against Seattle PacificCollege (SPC) Wednesday Oct. 22, at 2 p.m. The match will be played on Roosevelt Field which is on Alabama Street, east of James Street. Regan said he is very optimistic about the SPC game.SPC was beaten by the University of Washington 6-3. This shows SPC can be scored against, Regan added. Last year SPC finished second in the NCAA soccer nationals. A win or a strong showingby Western should prove them to be contenders for the Western Washington League title. Western islooking for things to come together this Wednesday, Regan said. The players are urging lots ofpeople "to come out and support them against SPC. Many of the players feel the support they receive is very helpful, Regan explained. There will be signs on campus advertising the soccer game. Westernwill have another home game this Saturday October 25, against the University of Puget Sound. .CfeTTb VitOW yots-t A^MIG.

Washington last Saturday, the Western spikers have to be wondering if a "team of midgets" can winthe regional championships, which are only five weeks away. The Vikettes finished seventh as PortlandState beat Washington State for the championship, going undefeated all day. Other teams in thetournament included Eastern Washington, Pacific Lutheran University, Central Washington,Oregon College of Education and the University of Washington. Western's first-year coach RichHuntoon was not at all displeased with the Vikettes. In fact, he was surprised with the team's overallperformance. "We're a small team," Huntoon said, of the team that has an average height of 5'6". "Our tallest player, Char Strack (5'10"] looks of average height compared to an average size team, likeEastern. "But," he added, "when we are matched against teams like Portland or WSU, well, they reallyhave the height advantage on us." Western lost two games apiece to those schools and split oneapiece with Eastern in the round robin tournament. They were then dropped down into the consolationbracket meeting Pacific Lutheran in a three game match. After their slow start in the previous games,Western began to look like the scrambling, cohesive team Huntoon had hoped to develop in the lastthree weeks of practice. Even though Western did lose the match, 10-15, 15-2, and 13-15, they did prove they could make a comeback in tight-situations. In the first game, the Vikettes were down, 12-1, beforethey began to jell, coming up with strong blocks and aggressive spikes. It was too late though, as PLUmanaged to get the three points needed to win the game. Western plays at Portland State Universitythis weekend and Huntoon is preparing to give the Vikettes more practice in serving, a sore spot in their season opener. He also stressed the need for the team to get to know each other better on the court. Ryals leads stickers Western's field hockey team pulled out its first victory last Friday defeatingShorecrest High School, 3-0. Bethany Ryals continued as .Western's only scorer this year running hertotal up to five goals. She scored both goals in Western's 2-2 tie with Skagit Valley C.C. last week. Due to Shorecrest's inexperienced team Western was on the offensive 80 per cent of the game, accordingto Vik team member Debbie Matuizek. A scheduled game with the Vancouver, B.C. Club teamSaturday was rained out. The Viks, with a record of Vik ruggers beaten by Lang ley, 19-6 The LangleyRugby Club soundly defeated the injury riddled Western Ruggers Saturday 19-6 in Fraser ValleyRugby Union play. Langley completely dominated play, scoring all 19 points before Western got onthe score board late in the second half. Western's scoring came on two penalty kicks by Gaylen Melby. According to Western rugger John McCarthy, the Vikings made several mistakes. "Every time westarted to get something going, a mental mistake would wipe it out," McCarthy said. With fourplayers already unable to play due to injuries, two more Vikings were hurt in Saturday's game. SteveSole-man injured a back muscle and Brad Guiford suffered a shoulder injury. McCarthy said theinjuries hurt Western's performance. In earlier action, the Western B team was defeated by Langley, 14-6. Saturday, Western continues Fraser Valley play when they host the top tated Old Puget Sound Beach Club. one win and one tie, will face Washington State University this Friday in Pullman.Saturday they play the University of Idaho and Oregon State University, also in Pullman. HighlineCommunity College had a low score of ,50 points to win the Western Invitational Cross Country meetSaturday. Defending champion Western finished second with a score of 60. Brian Brouillet of theUniversity of Puget Sound (UPS) finished the five-mile course in 25: l i to take first place. UPS finishedthird with 70 points followed by Simon Fraser, Pacific Lutheran, Yakima Valley Community College andSeattle Pacific. Western coach Ralph Vernacchia said his team had a "fair performance," but needed toimprove quite a bit. Jeff Sherman was Western's top runner, finishing seventh with a time of 25:34. (Vernacchia said Greg Wirtz was the most improved Western runner. Wirtz finished 16th with a time of26:03. Other Western finishers included Steve Pil-cher (10), Keith Raymond (13), Steve Wilson (14), Pat Cordle (24), Rick Sampson (32), Randy Opheim (40), Matt Shaw (47) and Ed Young (52). The womenharriers hosted their invitational earlier that morning and finished fourth, with a score of 154, in a field offive teams. Simon Fraser placed first with a score of 49 and team member Maureen Crowley finished the three-mile course in 16:39 to place first. Seattle Pacific and UPS finished second and third, respectively, while the University of Washington finished last. According to Western coach John White, some of theparticipants showed up in groups of three or four and were not eligible to run as teams. Sheila Nortonpaced the Western harriers with a 15 place finish (20:31). Other Vikette finishers included Sue Rivord(30), Sandy Connors (34), Amy Kirschling (35) and Kim Christiansen (40). On Saturday evening, themen harriers staged a run-a-thon during the Western-Eastern Wash- 5 ington football game. Thepurpose of the event Â£ was to raise money for national traveling ^ expenses and to acquaint the publicwith cross country at Western. The runners raised approximately $1200 in pledges. PASSING LANEâ€” Viking harrier Matt Shaw moves past an unidentified Yakima runner at the Western Invitational onSaturday. Cagers react to practicing without a coach by LORINELLES and JULIE NELSON Westernbasketball players found themselves feeling lost and with no direction when they learned head coachChuck Randall would not return. Randall had planned to return this fall after suffering a heart attack lastspring but contracted a condition called hemolytic anemia. Doctors say the condition is not related to theattack. Brad Fuhrer, returning senior guard, said there is kind of a lost feeling not knowing who is going to be the coach this year, especially when many expected Randall to return. "A lot of players thoughtRandall was going to be here, it came as kind of a shock," said Gene Cash, graduate assistant who ishelping with the basketball conditioning class. The team is now conditioning for the upcoming season.Official practice begins in November. Even at this early stage the returning players feel Randall'sabsence will definitely affect them. Veteran players are finding that with Randall gone, they have lost anexpected advantage and are now on equal footing with the newcomers. "Coach Randall has seen us playbefore and knows what we can do," said Dave Wood, another returning senior guard. It will be difficult fora new coach to evaluate the talents of both the returning and new players in the short time he will have.Rob Visser, returning senior center and the Vikings' only Intramural Sports two-year letterman, said "Ithink it definitely hurts. Everybody's turning out and everybody wants to play ball, but no one knows whatdirection to go in working on the offense and defense." The Viks are noted for their brand of switchingdefense, Randall's style, and it is important for the players to know whether this system will remain intheir strategy, or perhaps be altered. "If a new coach changes the offense and defense, we will have tostart all over again," said returning guard Scott Curran. College players, who usually reach their peakdevelopment during their senior year, may find drawbacks, Visser said. "All a coach has taught you issupposed to come out in your senior year and this will be difficult with a'new coach," Visser said.Intramural football leagues for men and women got underway last week and sign-up sheets forwomen's volleyball are due at the intramural-office (CV 112) today. A captains' meeting for volleyballwill be held tomorrow at 3 p.m. in CV 109. A total of 37 teams (29 mens and eight womens) are involved in the football league.

DISSENTER-Western student Steve Brown expresses his feelings about Nixon.byJMHEITZMAN Despite cold winds and an overcast sky, over 250 people huddled close togetherSaturday to listen to speakers and watch a mock coronation of Nixon. The demonstration was a protestof Nixon's inauguration and his policies at home and in Vietnam. Originally planned for in front of theFederal Building, the protest was moved to the city hall by the mayor because of "hindrance of traffic,"the organizer reported. Some protestors wore signs reading, "Try all war criminals," and "Nixon is Hitler, let us not be Nazis." Speakers included Howard Harris, who has staged his own weekly protest bystanding in front of the Federal Building every Friday for over six years. Harris described Americans aspart of a war-making culture. "The landslide represents what this country really is. We are a minority."He said we need to make a different kind of culture by changing ourselves. Barney Goltz, 42 districtrepresentative, could not make it to Bellingham because of a cold and his schedule in Olympia. He wrote in a memo to the organizers that the work of social reform must be continued after the war ends. "It istime to turn our demonstration into a concerted personal and group effort to provide the good life for allour citizens," he wrote. The mock coronation was held next. A person wearing a Nixon mask,, blackcoat and waving his hands wildly in a "V" sign and bowing to the crowd and was sworn into office by hispress secretary with an oath to "pervert, protest and offend the Constitution of the United States." Thena crown was passed from a housewife to a worker, to a fisherman, and to a taxpayer, and each refusedto crown him. The worker finally returned, grabbed the crown and threw it back to the crowd. The skitended with everybody singing "God Bless America" to the accompaniment of a saxaphone and a.trumpet. Gerry Wolfe of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War spoke after the coronation. "You haveno idea what's going on over there," he said. He described the problems Vietnam veterans face as thePost-Vietnam Syndrome. David Berrigan of the Low-Income Coalition was the last to speak. He said,"Quiet is not peace but death." Donations were also taken up for the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi whichwas destroyed by American bombs. About 2 p.m. the cold weather caused the demonstration to end.Vince Hagel of the VVAW said the response of the people had been "fantastic." Inside...

Frpnt - Tuesday, J,anMary,23:, J (973 New rules cause students to plan ahead by TIMSCOTT Now that the Academic Council has ordered new add/drop regulations, the job of applying thenew rules falls to the registrar's office. Registrar William O'Neil said that he hopes the new rules willcause students to "do a lot of pre-thinking and for registration." pre-planning The new rules were seenby the council as a way to limit the waste of resources caused by students registering for classesknowing that they can drop them six weeks into the quarter if they don't want the class. O'Neil pointed-out that this allows students to tie up a place Housing costs may climb next year in class, denyingothers a chance to take it, and drop too late for someone to add the class. Under the new rules, allunwanted classes must be dropped within the first five days. It will be possible to withdraw from a classafter the drop period, but a "W" must be taken for the course. A "W" will be an unsuccessful completion, much like an â€¢ " F " , "NP", or unconverted "K". When the rules go into effect, O'Neil said, there willbe a three-quarter period during which the students will establish their completion percentages. No work completed prior to fall quarter 1973 will be considered in these percentages. T h e s t u d e n t mustsuccessfully complete 80 per cent of both his quarterly and cumulative units. Failure to do so in any one quarter will lead to the issuance of a warning which will be noted in the student's records. If thequarterly percentage drops below 80 AND this brings the cumulative percentage to less than 80, thestudent will be dropped from school and will need to reapply in order to continue. If the cumulative unitsdrop below 80 per cent, but quarterly percentages do not, no action will be taken. O'Neil also notedchanges in the rules concerning grades of "K", or incompletions. A grade of "K" will not courit in thequarter in which it is issued. If the "K" is not converted by the end of the next quarter of attendance, itwill be counted as an unsuccessful completion and will count against the successful completionpercentage. A "K" can be made up at any time within one year of the quarter in which it is received,however, and the unsuccessful completion erased. Courses in which a "W" is taken may be repeated atany time. Students planning to live in college housing next year can expect an increase in rent,according to Housing Director Pete Coy. The amount of the increase is not known as budgets are still.being planned. Coy cited two reasons for the expected increase. The main reason is the jump in thecost of food. Food costs have risen between 15 and 20 per cent in the past year. A secondary reason is the proposed salary increase for state employees that is being discussed by the legislature inOlympia. Governor Evans has proposed a three or four per cent increase. The costs for utilities are alsorising. The telephone, gas and electrical companies have all asked the Washington State Utilities andTransportation. Commission for immediate rate increases. The prospect of lower enrollment and loweroccupancy next year is another factor affecting the cost of room and board. Coy said, "Next year'soccupancy is estimated at roughly 75 per cent." This year's occupancy is estimated around 72 per centas compared to last year's 89 per cent. These drops cut into operating revenue considerably. Each percent of occupancy accounts for $34,000 of operating revenue.

A revised estimate by TransMountain Oil Pipeline Corp. set the recovered amount of oil at over 300,000gallons. TransMountain operates the pipeline that broke Jan. 10 and is responsible for the clean-up.There is still the possibility that the spill will exceed the 520,000 gallon barge spill near Port Townsend in1970. A Department of Ecology official at the Laurel site Friday felt that the spill would reach a total of500,000 to 1 million gallons. The environmental consequences of the spill are yet to be determined. TheDOE has no research staff at this time to deal with such problems, but has a bill before the statelegislature to finance a research staff for oil spills. Jim Newman, ecosystems analysis professor atHuxley, is looking into the feasibility of a long-term project to determine the effects of the spill. According to Walt Hitchcock, DOE, little is known of the effects of oil on land, such as occurred at Laurel. "Afarmer asked me what difference a little oil made, and I couldn't answer him," Hitchcock said. "The fact is that we just don't know." No official statement has yet been made as to the cause of the pipeline break. The break is the first in TransMountain's operations in Washington state. Hitchcock cited reports whichindicate that more pipeline breaks can be expected to occur in the future and that in the past two yearsthere has been a large increase in the number of spills from older pipelines. "Pipelines get old. The oneat Laurel is over 18 years old," Hitchcock said. Pipelines all across the country are getting old, and many more pipelines are planned for the future. This is significant to Whatcom County and the rest ofWashington because of the pipelines which will be built for the Alaskan North Slope oil, Hitchcock said.Hitchcock felt that the future damage of oil spills from pipelines will be greater than that expected fromtanker and barge spills on the waterways. CLEAN-UP-The recent oil spill at Laurel is possibly the largestin the state's history. Faculty approves collective bargaining proposal The final draft of the proposedFaculty Collective B a r g a i n i n g Law was unanimously approved by Western's Faculty Council at its Thursday meeting in a motion describing the bill as "workable and practical." Some members of thecouncil felt the proposal was not as strong as it should be and termed it a "body of compromises." Butthe council strongly urged the Joint Council on Higher Education (JCHE) to bring the bill to thelegislature. The proposal would give the faculties of state colleges and universities the right to bargaincollectively with their respective employersâ€”the boards of trusteesâ€”for wages, insurance, and fringebenefits. Teachers in kindergarten through grade 12 and in community colleges already have similarcollective bargaining powers. The Council of Faculty Representatives (CFR) proposal would give thefaculties of the four-year institutions the right to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining withoutinterference, but neither grants nor denies the right to strike. The proposal does provide for compulsorysubmission to binding arbitration. If both employer and employees were to agree that they could notreach a decision satisfactory to both, the dispute would be settled by three outside arbitrators, whosedecision would be final. The CFR proposal provides for a student representative to sit at the employer'sbargaining table. While the bill does not grant strike privileges, it does not specifically prohibit all formsof demonstrations. This leaves the w a y open for such demonstrations as teach-ins or one daywalkouts. The proposed bill, drafted by the CFR, will be presented to faculties or their representativebodies at all four-year colleges and universities in ,the state. If a consensus is reached endorsing theproposal, it is expected that it will be presented to the legislature by Senator Sandison of the JCHE.After the bill proposal was drafted by the CFR, which is made of representatives of the faculties of all thefour-year, educational institutions in Washington, it was presented to a group of students,administrators and Board of Trustees representatives for comment before the final draft was presented to the Faculty Council at Western. Teachers assert right to bargain Faculty members who want to bargain collectively are more than "petty moneygrubbers", said Kaye Faulkner, president of the locals chapter of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Besides wages, the AFT has several other proposalswhich they want to make known, he said. These include equal opportunity for all seeking e m p l o y me n t , promotion, academic freedom, the integrity and autonomy of each department and tenure.Faulkner contends that faculty strength has deteriorated over the years, and it has become necessaryfor the faculty to reassert itself. Conservative and liberal elements of the faculty have agreed in principlethat it is necessary to assert control over what was once the faculty's domain, he said. The facultywants more than to have programs "waved in front of its nose," he said. He added that the AFT wants to "regain the controls for carrying out our profession." Members of the faculty have "a simultaneousprofessional obligation." he said. Professors should be allowed to profess their discipline without fear ofbeing politically removed. Tenure is necessary to p r o t e c t competent full professors from losing theirpositions because of budget cuts, he said. The AFT has grown from 125 to 153 members in less thanthree months, and the growth of the organization has not been intimidated administration. T h e adm"recognizes the faculty, Faulkner on campus nas idated by the l i n i s t r a t i o n l unity" of thel rsaid. I Too little space... photo gear in halls Pieces of equipment for photography labs are scatteredthroughout the technology department and the basement of Miller Hall. Because of the crowdedfacilities, only LACK OF SPACE-Photography students of the lack of space in classrooms meet inhallways because technology majors may now enroll in the photography classes. The equipment, whichis currently in the halls and classrooms and even in unopened boxes, should ideally be located in onecentral area near the t e c h n o l o g y department's darkroom. However, space is limited and only agiven amount of equipment can be squeezed into the area. The irony of all this is that the technologydepartment recently received a grant to purchase much of the unused equipment. Now that theequipment has been obtained, it sits there for lack of space. The darkroom on the first floor of thetechnology building was designed for 25 students, but it actually serves 80. As a result, a limit has been set on enrollment in the classes; only technology majors can now enroll. S t u d e n t s from otherdepartments have quit trying to enroll in the classes, according to instructor Robert Embrey.

Tuesday, January, 23, 1973, Nursing homes lack proper care by MICHELE RAYMOND The old woman lies in bed, her shriveled figure can barely be seen beneath the covers. She tries tospeak, but the muscles will not move. Her thoughts turn to dim memories of friendships long past. Herfuture offers nothing but empty loneliness. This woman is one of the many elderly patients who reside inWhatcom County nursing homes. Not all of the people who live in convalescent centers are totallyhelpless. Some of them are simply old and unwanted. There is no one to care for them, so the statemust take over. Some of them are sent from mental institutions; others are sent by their doctors. Lastyear Christine Avion, a Western student, conducted her own private investigation of the forgotten peoplein Whatcom County nursing homes. She worked as an aide and spent a great deal of time with patientsand staffs. The results of her investigation were published as a 44-page report by the University Year forAction. In it, she criticized the facilities for such inadequacies as offering no mental health careprograms, overuse of psycho-active drugs and understaffing. The findings of the report, first published inthe Bellingham Metropolitan, put the owners, administrators and the Department of Social and HealthServices (DSHS) up in arms, but served to make them and the public acutely aware of the nursing home situation. Opinions gathered since the report's publication seem to indicate that the problems areinterrelated and can be traced to two sources: â€”Inability or unwillingness of nursing home staffs torespond to the psychological needs of patients; in other words, to listen and understand them as humanbeings. â€”Lack of enough state and/or federal money to assure each patient of the care he needs.Major charges made in the Avion report include the following: It was found that although one-fourth ofWhatcom County geriatric patients have some type of mental disorder, nursing home facilities have nopsychologists or social workers on their staffs. Nursing home administrators have reported that they donot receive enough money from Medicaid (most patients are on public assistance) to hire this type ofpersonnel. They also stated that patients who come from mental institutions are diagnosed as chronic,that is, beyond psychiatric help, and they cannot be communicated with like "normal" patients. Onestaff member feels that many of NURSING HOMESâ€”This woman told the Front reporter to "please come again." She preferred to live alone. the psychological disorders can be traced to physical ailments, lackof activity or not enough contact with the outside world. Avion secondly charged facilities withadministering psycho-active drugs (those which normalize mental imbalances) and tranquilizers to over a third of the patients when they do not really need them, and not administering the drugs to the patientswho need them. Violet Ousley, administrator at Bellingham Convalescent Center, stated that nursesnever administer drugs purposely to patients just to keep them inactive. Patients are not even givenaspirin without a physician's order. The state requires that a physician visit each patient at least once amonth, more often if he is ill. The doctor prescribes the medication to be used "as needed," at thenurse's discretion. The average registered nurse is responsible for 55 patients on a day shift, and 57 percent of these have orders for sedatives or tranquilizers. Avlon's third charge is that, although they meetstate requirements, nursing homes are understaffed. It is possible that when so few nurses have chargeof so many patients, mistakes in feeding and in the administration of drugs can be made. One nurseexplained her night shift: At midnight she goes over each patient's medical history of the day with theevening shift nurse. If she thinks a patient does not need a sedative, she does not administer one.However, if he cannot sleep he is given one. Many Medicaid patients are class I, that is, they are notable to maintain themselves and must be fed and bathed. These chores are performed by aides who are, in many cases, overworked and underpaid. This leaves them little time to spend with the patients."What is really needed is a staff who cares about the patients. The aides either do not care, or they donot have time to sit down and really listen to them," the nurse explained. Avion states that "if the patienthad more contact with the community, there would be less need for sedatives. They need friendship."The question remains: How can the elderly have contact with the community when some of them cannot even move from their beds? Volunteer programs of the past, some involving Western students, havefizzled out. Administrators feel that they failed because students coming out once a week find it difficultto understand the problems of the elderly. The individuals who do receive the most attention are thearticulate ones. The intensive, care patients are not visited by anyone because it is thought they cannotrespond to attention. The nurse has found that this type of person does indeed respond, but it takes time and understanding. Lack of attention makes problems worse, and many patients die in loneliness andmisery. In-service training could help the aides relieve the mental-health crisis, but they will not come totraining sessions without pay, Avion said. She added that in the future the federal government mayreimburse the state for such training. Most Whatcom County nursing homes are not extended carefacilities. That is, they do not treat Medicare patients who are released from hospitals and stay for alimited period of time. These facilities must meet only state requirements. Five county nursing homesoffer extended care and must pass more rigid -inspection by the federal government from which theyreceive their funds. Under state regulations a patient's care costs $15 a day, yet only $12.21 is allocated for Class I patients. Private patients pay $18 a day. Administrators and staff seem to agree that there is a lag between what the state requires and the amount of money it allocates to meet thoserequirements. According to the state, no Whatcom County nursing home is understaffed; but most of thehomes would not pass federal inspections. Avion does not feel the state has adequately dealt with theelderly. She is now in Olympia lobbying for the Citizens for Improvement of Nursing Homes Bill. The billwould add $500,000 to this year's state budget for mental health experiments in nursing homes. She islobbying against the Nursing Home Industry Lobby, a strong group paid by nursing home owners. Shesaid, she is working "on behalf of the patients." She urges everyone to write Sen. Frank Atwood, care ofthe Senate Minority Caucus in Olympia, as he can influence passage of the bill. A federal official saidthat in July all. state facilities will be rated by the federal government, in an attempt to raise standards.Avlon's report is currently being studied by the DSHS. Thus far none of her data has proved to be false.Although her methods and authority have been severely criticized, Avion has succeeded in "stirring things up a bit," some officials admit.

Nowhere to turn While sittingin the "boonies" of Vietnam, most GI's think only of being "back home on the block." But all too often theveteran returns to find he is no longer welcome. Not only does the returning Vietnam veteran have to face unemployment and readjustment to civilian life, he faces a society which apparently isn't concerned withhis problems. Being confronted with the horror of war and the frustration of fighting for a cause he doesn't believe in, drugs are an easy escape for the GI. Many veterans are back in civilian life within 72 hours ofleaving Vietnam and their drug problems and frustrations come with them. Besides not being equipped tohandle the veteran's problems, the Veteran Administration is distrusted by the veteran who usually wants nothing more to do with anything connected to the military. Family and friends often either can't or won't help with such problems. So where can he turn? As the war slowly drags to a close and we are facedwith the responsibility of correcting the damages it wrought, the plight of the Vietnam veteran should beour first priority. commentary Short, dark and handsome by DENNIS MANSKER Whatever his race,religion or social class, the American man shorter than 5 ft. 8 in. is a victim of such subtlediscrimination that most of his fellow citizens are totally unaware that it exists. This subtle bias isheightism, a prejudice that manifests itself through nearly every aspect of" American culture. A recentsurvey of graduates from the University of Pittsburgh, for example, shows that job applicants 6 ft. 2 in.and taller received starting salaries averaging 12.4 per cent higher than applicants shorter than six feet.In another study, 140 recruiters for large corporations were given the choice between two equally qualified applicants, one 5 ft. 5 in. and the other 6 ft. 1 in. Nearly 75 per cent of the recruiters chose the tallerman, about 25 per cent indicated no preference and only one per cent said they would hire the shorterman. Only twice since 1900 have American voters elected the shorter of two presidential candidates-in1924 Calvin Coolidge, 5 ft. 10 in., defeated 5 ft. 11 in. John Davis, and in 1972 Richard Nixon, 6 ft., wonover 6 ft. 1 in. George McGovern. Only five American presidents in 200 years have been shorter thantoday's average male height of 5 ft. 8 in. Three presidents have matched it and the rest have been taller,ranging from Grant's 5 ft. 8V2 in, to Lincoln's 6 ft. 4 in. When, in the. face of such tall odds, the shortman is successful politically, he is accused of being another Napoleon. The American woman's romanticideal is someone tall, dark and handsome. And both sexes tend to agree that in a couple the maleshould be taller than the female-indeed most women refuse to date men shorter than they are.Hollywood's leading men must be taller than their female counterparts, even if it means they have tostand on a box or the women have to walk in a trench to fool the camera. Even the very language itselfconspires against the short person. The word "short" has many unpopular, distasteful or negativeconnotations in American culture: people who are ignored are given short-shrift, dense people are said tobe short sighted, cheating cashiers shortchange people, people who lose something often findthemselves coming up short, lowers find themselves on the short end of the stick, when the lights go outit's usually the result of a short circuit, a person who angers easily is said to be short-tempered . . . . The list goes on and on. Instead of simply asking a person his height, the question invariably comes out,"How tall are you?" The time has come for short people's liberation. The time has come for the shortman to assert himself and throw off the yoke of oppression that centuries of heightism have thrust uponhim. The short person can refuse to look up at tall people, which will force them to stoop and benduncomfortable in order to carry on a conversation. Short people can boycott stores that place tantalizinggoodies on high shelves, out of the reach of all but the tall. Short people can write letters of protest toclothing manufacturers who makes sizes to fit only those of average height or above. And short peoplecan group together and organize to foster pride and a strong self-image to cope with the pervasive curseof heightism. Short people of the world, unite!

As if we didn't already have enough constructionâ€”andmoneyâ€”problems here at Western, somebody seems to think we need another parking lot. Not anordinary one, but a 4-story, $1,000,000 garage directly behind the Viking Union. My source for thisrevelation is an article ("Profits from parking fees to go to further lots") in the Jan. 12 FRONT. Cleverlyburied in this story were two separate, seemingly-innocent facts. No. 1: the per-stall cost of the garagewas estimated at $2500. No. 2: plans call for a 400-car capacity. My computer verified that this means itwould be a million dollar project. What are they trying to pull? Why is this monstrosity needed, or evensuggested in the first place, especially in a time of decreasing enrollment? It certainly wouldn't addanything to the landscape. -R.M.W. This is probably more a case of journalistic misunderstanding thanthreat to the landscape. In 1970 a full-scale study of campus parking was made in a massive effort tomeet predictions of 12,000 students and twice the number of cars on city streets by 1974. The VikingUnion ramp was part of a proposal to provide 3,318 new parking spaces by 1980, costing about $9.2million over 10 years. Plans called for 370 stalls on three levels of parking behind the VU, scaled to relate well to the street and existing buildings. The estimated 1971 project budget was $1,400,000. Thisprogram is currently not being actively pursued because of declining enrollment. However, the removal ofthe trailers by Fairhaven College is providing practically the last site available for a parking lot on campus. The Safety and Security Office has lost about 450 parking spaces this year to construction in the centerof campus. "We are not meeting the parking needs of the college community right now," R. G. "Pete"Peterson, parking manager and director of security, said last week. "The peripheral lots are not good.There is a definite need for more convenient parking here on campus." Peterson, roughly estimating 9000 students, faculty and staff, and one car for every three, sees a current need for-your computer will verifythis figure-about 3000 parking spaces. There are 1800 permit-spaces on campus now, roughly 1200 short of what we should have to fully meet our projected needs. (This estimate assumes no more street parking right around the college, a definite problem in traffic control and a legitimate gripe of the residents there.)There are also now only 28 daytime visitor spaces. "Why do we need it?" Peterson asked, referring to theproposed VU ramp. "Talk to the man who walks from 21-D to Red Square in the rain." gt; "Is it worth it? That's a difficult question I don't want to answer. They paid a million-plus for the downtown Parkade. Thecity thought it was worth it. But they probably won't ever get it paid off. "To visitors and people who workin the middle of campus-it's worth it. "We need more central parking . . . (but that's) not saying we'reever going to get it in the near future. "If you want better parking you've got to pay for it. We've really hadno feedback from the college community, pro or con." Bob Aegerter, acting director of Campus Planning,feels the VU ramp would be an economic disaster if it were built today. "Lots of people would like to parkclose to campus but aren't willing to pay the price." "People want to consume more electricity, wantcloser controls on their interior environment, and want to drive to and from that place, and park near it."Enrollment may not be the only generator of parking . . . . People want to have parking convenient tomain campus buildings. "If the students and faculty don't want a parking garage-and I hope they don't-Ithink they're going to have to demonstrate it by not driving to campus." Aegerter said the VU rampwouldn't be seriously considered for six of eight years, perhaps longer. Peterson, from an economicviewpoint, couldn't even foresee discussion on it for at least three years. "We'd be a long time getting amillion dollars from parking revenue," he said. "This is the first year the system generated any profit atall." "You have to show a constant, net income factor, that you can rely on every year, before you canfloat a bond issue," he said. The major problem is that of funding any possible multi-level parkingstructure required on an intensely-developed campus. The 1970 feasibility study assumed funding wouldbe arranged through both state building loans and legislative appropriations, though a less-favorable 1V2per cent, 30-year bond financing might be used as a last resort. Financial requests were originallyscheduled for 1971, then deferred to the 1973-75 budget request, then deferred again, indefinitely. ,Terrain and subsurface conditions at Western, the report noted, make construction significantly moreexpensive than at other campuses. To increase revenues, the study recommended higher-priced permitlots, especially in core areas; overselling lots; and commercial renting of 6000-9000 square feet of theupper level of the proposed VU parkade, grossing about $22,500 (1970 figures) from the incorporatedspace. Campus Planning, the report further noted, has contemplated the construction of this parkingramp for some time. Elevators and stairways in the VU expansion have been designed, to serve theadjacent parking ramp. ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 23 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Tuesday, January 23, 1973 BOB TESHERA-"Some people watch football, some ski, butpolitics is my recreation.

They need a rest." Teshera himself devotes about ten hours per week to his position, butexpects that to "step up considerably" next year. It is imperative that the precinct committeemen"recognize the importance of what they're doing", Teshera pointed out. He sees himself as a catalyst who organizes the Republicans to share responsibilities. "County chairmen cannot carry this job alone," hesaid, "I've seen some who have tried and failed." Teshera estimates that his position will cost him about$ 1,200 per year. Personal and traveling expenses, and contributions to the Republican party make up alarge percentage of this cost. He receives no money from the Republican party to defray his personalexpenses. The Republicans are expected to ask Whatcom County for about $7,500 this year, saidTeshera, and "it is my job to raise that money." He expects to raise those funds from contributions anddoor to door soliciting.

Print shop offers varie One of the most reasonablypriced student services is having financial trouble because the students don't know it exists, accordingto Debbie Anderson, AS Print Shop manager. The print shop, located in the basement of the VikingUnion, across from the "Grotto" pool hall, is capable of printing everything from business cards to 11 x17 inch posters. "The only requirement is that the person must be a member of the Westerncommunity," Anderson said. "This is their print shop and the prices are very reasonable." David Ko, aprint shop employee, described the various workings of the print shop, "We have a Xero: copier thatpersons can use at a copy, an offset printer "Line-O-Scribe'.

"A man may change when he comes back, but he recognizes hehas committed war crimes," said Hagel. He listed realistic guilt as one of the biggest problems forreturning veterans. Vietnam is not a nightmare that ends for the veteran when he returns to the U.S. Infact, there is very little time allowed between the rice paddies and the streets. "Seventy-two hours afterfighting in Vietnam," Wolfe said, "a soldier is back in American society." He returns to a herolesssociety with his own guilt feelings locked inside. He finds he must work out his guilt feelings on his ownlevel. Communicating with other people becomes a main problem for the veteran. Walls are built between the veteran and the rest of society. The veteran finds no one to talk to back home. He finds "no way towork through these things." Wolfe recounted his own experience of living as a hermit for a year when hereturned. PVS can also be translated into violence against society. "You feel mad, you want to strikeout," Wolfe said. Some veterans turn to violence against society, but Hagel pointed out thatgeneralizations cannot be made about all veterans because of the actions of a few. Sources for helpbecome limited in the U.S. The Veterans Administration (VA) doesn't recognize PVS. The veteran alsomistrusts the VA, because the VA is looked upon as being part of the same structure that sent him toVietnam. Hagel said veterans with problems could talk with the VVAW in Viking Union 214b, theCounseling Center at Western and the Rising Sun Human Relations Center at 301 Gladstone. TheVVAW also has material on PVS and is planning workshops on PVS in the future. ACCELERATEDRATIONALIZATION-You learn more than you have time to understand.

He defined America's role in helpingmaintain this new peace Student services launch Front monitor campaign In an effort to monitor theircoverage in the Western Front, heads of the various student services have decided to make duplicatecopies of all information they submit to the Front. The decision was made at a recent meeting of theStudent Services Council after a discussion of general complaints about the Front, particularly itscoverage of student services.
