It fronts upon a narrow bookstall street that now and then apes the noises flooding in through the transcept alleys from the great competitor. At 9 o'clock every week day morning of the year—except four— the high, htige iron gates part and swing slowly open to the early readers. The creaking noise of the gates and the hurrying feet over the cobbled court disturb the quiet cooing of the numberless pigeons that take their late breakfast on the walks and steps. Some of the readers stop and make peace by adding a crumb to the frugal meal and then stand watching the pacified ones wind their flight to the frieze above to bask in the sun. The energetic readers hurry at once across the hallway and through the narrow passage into the reading room or into the hall of MMS; some loiter to chat; others examine a curio or two before beginning work. The Museum is the sepulcher of the past—there lies Cleopatra and many of her Ptolemy and Pharaoh predecessors; a tomb of by-gone days-there hang the robes of an Egyptian princess and the deckings of an American chief. Here in this Walhalla, the common meeting ground of the great and the good, is assembled the sculptured masterpieces of Greece and Rome, the manuscript literature that won the applause ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [12] ---------- of the Athenians, the carved monoliths that awed the subjects of Persia. The dry atmosphere of the spacious halls and the peculiar silence that reigns everywhere imbues one with a sense of finiteness that strives to break the bond of the present and fly to intimacy with the past. Turning one's glance to the west it meets the fixed, stony gaze of a Roman emporor, who, by this fixedness., seems to invite a closer acquaintance with himself and his fellow Caesars. There at the head of this long line of rulers stands the first of the blood. Complacency marks the whole appearance, confidence in every feature, a mouth to command and a jaw to execute—Caesar. The child Augustus beside the bust of his golden days when the weight of the world's rule wrinkled his brow and the songs of Ovid and Horace wrote tenderness on his lips. A few steps beyond and one is in the insolent presence of the fiddle-ing master of Roman tortures. Behind that broad, high brow was engendered the Christian persecutions; those are the eyes that looked pleasantly upon his burning subjects; the great nose that sniffed at the wine from every clime; the protruding, sensous lips that sang songs at the burning of Rome and that gave orders for the martyrdom of Paul—Nero. With pleasure one turns from this terrible Roman to the grandest Greek a few steps away. Old Homer—sitting high on his pedestal— all tarnished and soiled, except for the restored nose and an ear-lobe, directs his sight-les eyes upward over the victors of the Olympian games and sees in his mind's heaven the campaigns of the Trojan war, and opens his lips to tell to the listening viewer the events of that one great day. Through a door a black object in the center of an adjoining room rouses the curiosity —and curiosity must be satisfied. There on a low stand tilted like a school boy's desk lies the Rosetta stone. At this desk the world Of today learned to spell the words of Egypt, to write in the language of Cleopatra, and to number out the hosts of the Pharaohs. The dark basalt seems blackened by the murky sleeves of this school boy in the learning of his lesson of the past, and even the base seems scratched by the restless feet as the plodding brain, conning ancient lore, seeks to keep pace with the physical energy of the modern today. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [13] ---------- In returning, with another glimpse of this quaint text-book, another glance at the Greek bard, and a passing view of ambitious Caesar and the terrible Nero, one is filled with the spirit of the then, and passes by the statue of Mracus Aurelius, whose Danubian conquests seem now in progress, by the bust of Cleopatra whose sad life ended but yesterday, by the statue of Demosthenes whose crooked mouth is still telling over the Phillips of the day before. Feeling oblivious that the sun is shining and allowing habit to care for thr nonce, one enters the great reading room under the dome one foot larger than that of Saint Peter's at Rome, there to draw from the 20,000 reference books or from the 2,000 volumes of catalogues to draw upon the 2,000,000 volumes lines in seserve upon forty miles of shelving. J. N. BOWMAN. A Time for THanksgiving The year was 1790, the time near Thanksgiving. The evening was chill and as Mr. Oliver entered the little, low room where his wife and two daughters were preparing the evening meal the mental atmosphere fell perceptibly. It was easy to see when things had gone wrong with "father," who a follower of the stern Puritan, kept his temper in "wholesome restraint," but in the doing contrived to make his immediate surroundings distinctly unpleasant. The simple, almost frugal meal was nearly over when Mr. Oliver spoke. "We will speak no more of John. He is no longer a nephew of mine; and," fixing a stern eye on Elizabeth, "no more a cousin of yours." Again there was silence while Mrs. Oliver waited in gentle impatience and the girls in silent indignation for an explanation. "In all the years I can remember, I have never heard of an Oliver being a thief. It is left for John who goes from ungodly pranks to thievery, to so disgrace the family. Last night after the festival at the Doctor's he stole the huge silver tankard. As I said," he added on rising from the table, "we will say nothing about this matter." Elizabeth said nothing, but quietly busied ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [14] ---------- herself about the evening's work apparently thinking no more of the matter and disregarding the furtive glances cast at her by her mother. Mrs. Oliver had fully expected an outburst from Elizabeth, but the girl surprised her by her calm indifference, still there was no telling what might happen. Elizabeth "took after" her father. On the surface all was quiet; Elizabeth starting the next afternoon to carry a jar of preserves to old Mrs. Ed-kins was not unusual, nor was her mother's usual caution to be back in an hour, out of the ordinary. Elizabeth delivered the preserves and left with almost curt abruptness. Taking all the "short cuts," she soon arrived at the little village jail and demanded to see her cousin. After some parley her demand was granted, and Elizabeth stood face to face with her cousin who had disgraced the Oliver family, and asked shortly: "John, did you do it?" "Indeed no, Betty," was the firm reply. "Then what made them say so, and how long will you have to stay here?" The young fellow laughed shortly. "They are brilliant, Betty. Some one saw me just after the party with a big bundle and shortly after the tankard was found missing, so of course I stole it. I had a package. It wasn't the tankard; but they wouldn't take my word as an Oliver for my honesty, so here I am and they shall suffer for it." "Indeed they shall," said Betty, warmly, "I'm going right over to Dr. Bennett's and just order them to let you out." John did not see the humor in her angry words and slowly answered. "It would do no good, Betty, they would only laugh. Does your father know thaat you are here?" "No." "Won't you get into trouble when you get home?" "Oh, I shall have a chapter, I suppose. I wish father didn't think I was such a baby. I'm not a baby any longer, am I, John?" "No," he answered, gravely. "Why, let me see, you are almost fifteen, aren't you, Betty?" Betty nodded. "Good bye," she said, "I must hurry." Out of doors Betty's courage almost .failed her. Dr. Bennett was very stern, although ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [15] ---------- she knew that he unbent at times and hex heart beat faster when she thought of the possibility of his refusing to free her cousin. But she had not gone far when, hearing a phaeton approaching, she looked up and saw Dr. Bennett himself. "Why," he cried, "here is little Betty Oliver. I was just going to see your cousin." "And I," returned Betty, "was coming to tell you to let him out." The doctor laughed. "Well, John didn't take the tankard." "Of course not," put in Betty, "Last we saw of it, it was on the sideboard, and then it disappeared. Alice went home with her aunt and just before she left she sleepily murmured something about the pretty, big dish not being safe. Well, half an hour ago her aunt brought her home and the little shaver went to the clothes-chest and dragged out the tankard. She had hid it, aided by Nellie; for little six-year-old girls they have made a lot of mischief." In a short time both Betty and John were hurrying towards their respective homes. Betty with a trembling heart, in spite of her good news; she had disobeyed her father's command. Her father met her at the gate. "Elizabeth," he said sternly, his whole manner showing his displeasure, "I want no explanation of your disobedience—not a word. You may learn the twenty-first chapter of Matthew." And Elizabeth, knowing that the news of John's innocence would mitigate her punishment and delight her father above all else, took a peculiar pleasure in implicit obedience. In the house the "parson," who had "dropped" in, was catechising seven-year-old Agatha. He greeted Elizabeth as she entered, and beamed upon her as. she took the Bible from the mantel in the kitchen, Mr. Oliver consulted his wife. "Perhaps," he said, "the lass had best do without her supper." His wife glanced toward the other room. "The parson?" she said. Better let a needed punishment slip by than show their lack of parental authority in the case of Betty proving rebellious, as she was very apt to do if so disgraced before the parson. So Betty got her supper. The minister was saying grace. "As the day of Thanksgiving draws near, cause us to ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [16] ---------- be truly thankful." He prayed on, and Elizabeth with her little brown head devoutly bowed did not hear, for her tumultous heart was fairly singing with repressed joy because her favorite cousin was not disgraced. Which was the more thankful of the two? Between you and me, it wasn't the minister. By 'o8. A Sunset on the Bay Shimmering waters flecked by crested wavelet, On high; a canopy, violet, rose and gold, A burnished gleaming trail across the bay And shadows lengthening into night. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [17] ---------- Che normal messenger Published Monthly By the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL WHATCOM, WASHINGTON w K m ^ S , :06 } - • BUSINESS MANAGERS.

JO The "Messenger" wishes every one a happy vacation and a good appetite for the Thanksgiving turkey. One of the signs of a live school is a live interest in something lively. One of the best signs, at the Normal is the enthusiasm with which the boys have taken up athletics so early in the year. The wise tell us the best qualities of man are shown when he is contesting against forces which threaten to overpower him. So some lively contests on the athletic field will develop more patriotism among both the boys and the girls than anything else possibly can. Girls, don't let the boys be the only champions of the W.

All the numbers will be given in the Normal Auditorium except the concert given by Frau Schumann-Heink, which will be given in Beck's theater. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [18] ---------- S o c i e t i e s The Kulshans have begun their regular work for this year with all the members of last year together with a number from other years,, among whom are Lillian Burk, Miss Shahan and Miss Roberts. "Once a Kulshan always a Kulshan.'" The Kulshans have also their share of new members, among these new members is a large number of strong workers. It is the desire of this society to bring its work to a higher standard than ever before. What a puckering of foreheads and elongated mouth parts you fould have seen if you had looked in at the Alcotts one Friday. A society poet was to be chosen and the decision to be made in favor of the one who produced the best poem. This was no small task, for the room was full of talent and each soul hungered for the position. At the given signal after fifteen minutes' work, pencils were quiet, and papers were collected, read, and judged amid loud applause and great thumping of hearts. We submit two. The first and best was written by our literary genius, Miss Henderson, The second by one who needs no introduction to the Whatcom public, Minnie Shumway. Others were highly commended and will be spread on the minutes of the Society for the authors. to gaze blissfully upon at their leisure. The Alcotts. Who are the girls that work? The Alcotts. Who never will a duty shirk ? The Alcotts. But with song and smile the hours beguile Or with mirth sublime or with jingling reyme, The Alcotts, The Alcotts every time. The Utopians are more fortunate than the other societies in having two such excellent critics as Mr. Wilson and Miss Hogle. At their home on Rose street, the seventeenth, Professor and Mrs. Wilson entertained ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [19] ---------- the "Utopian girls." At eight o'clock the girls began to arrive in twos and threes and from then until after ten lasted a round of merriment calculated to bring a cheery smale to every Nestor's face. Ask one of the Utopians if she enjoyed herself and this will be your answer, "Oh, I had just the best time." MY DOUBLE QUICK POEM. I'm going to write And there'll be a fight, If I don't win. I don't like to write, But I do love to fight, And that's a sin. So, Judges, act wise And give this the prize Or you'll regret That you ever met me Or my fine poetry In this contest. L o c a l s Three new teachers were added to the faculty this year. Miss Hays attended the institute at Seattle during institute week there. Dr. Mathes, Miss Bratton, and Mr. Epley took part in the program at the institute. A former student, Miss Rebecca Ann Fowler, was married in Seattle, Oct. 8, 1903 to Mr. Charles Rutherford. One Normal girl went home Friday and returned wearing a diamond ring on her third finger. Explanations are in order. We had a good many pleasant days the last of October, and as a result many parents came up to visit the training school. Among the old students who visited Normal during institute week were Misses Charlotte Cochel, Blanch Miller, and Florence Hart. Several of our last year Normal students are attending the university this year. They are Misses Biggs, Ethel Hunt, Martha Creu-ger., Messrs. Eason and Jones. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [20] ---------- Mr. Teck and Dr. Minton, members of the board of trustees, visited the Normal Wednesday morning, Oct. 21, and Mr. Teck gave a very interesting talk at general assembly. Miss Marie Lammon, teacher of physical culture in one of the Tacoma schools also visited the school at chapel hour, during institute week and gave readings from James Whit-com Riley and others. On Monday, Oct. 5, Mr. Harris of the Warde and James theatrical company, visited the Normal, and read to the students scenes from some of Shakespeare's most noted plays, which were very interesting. Miss Blanche M. Evans has been electetd assisant in English. Miss Evans is a graduate of the Tacoma school system and also of Carle-ton, Minesota. She had taught in Tacoma and at Carleton college before coming to the Normal school. Mr. Coventry, pastor of the Congregational church in Whatcom visited the Normal school, Oct. 7. He gave the students a talk on the history of "Sky Pilot," and described the actual places in Canada from which different scenes were taken. A beautiful picture of Francis E. Willard was lately presented to the school by the State W. C. T. U. convention. Dr. Mathes presented it to the students at chapel and we expect soon to have an address on Miss Wil-lard's life by some member of the faculty. Miss Kate Gompertz of Berkeley, Calirofnia, was elected teacher of physical culture. Miss Gompertz is a graduate of the University of California and was an assistant teacher in the Hearst gymnasium in the University of California for two years gefore accepting her work in the Normal school. During institute week several prominent educators visited our school. Among them being Professor Yoder of the State University and Mr. Boone of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Boone was formerly president of Michigan Normal College. He gave an address which should be helpful to all who heard him. Friday evening Oct. 16, the Seniors gave a formal reception to the faculty, the students, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [21] ---------- formal reception to the faculty, the students and their friends. The rooms on the upper floor were very tastefully decorated with maple leaves and fish net. Tea and waifers were served and every one had an enjoyable time. On Saturday, October 17, the geology class went on an excursion to Chuckanut. They went as far as Chuckanut Station on the Great Northern noon train, and walked back in the evening. Among some of the things they did beside observing and examining rocks and soil, was climbing bluffs and walking logs. A great many of last year's students are teaching this fall. Among them are Charlotte Cochel, Marietta; Freida Stark, Blaine; Helen Taylor, Ferndale; Alverna Richendrfer, Whatcom ; Emily Dodd, Lynden; Amy Linnell, Van Zandt; Nora Smith, Deming; Fay Siyits, Dem-ing; Lulu Simmons, Lawrence; Celia Jacobs, Tyman. The vacancy in the music department was filled by the election of Miss Mabel Moore of Ironwood, Mich. Miss Moore studied music in Detroit and Boston and has been supervising music in the public schools of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and Menominee, Michigan, for the past six years. Miss Moore is an acceptable soloist as well as a successful supervisor of music. On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 17, a most delightful little picnic was enjoyed by the members of the first year class. Boarding the 1130 lake car, they went as far as the Whatcom Creek Falls where their first stop was made. After visiting all three falls, and admiring the beauties of the surrounding scenery, they proceeded to walk to the lake. About an hour was spent at the lake side, disposing of the good things with which they were well provided. A row on the lake ended the afternoon's outing, and the crowd returned to town tired but happy. If any one wants to know how to have a good time ask the first years and they can tell you. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [22] ---------- A l u m n i Miss Ethel B.

O'er all reigned peace and silence Neither sound of toil or mirth. But the morning wind was wakened And! among the leaves it stirred, Bringing sleepy notes of welcome From the nest of every bird. The blazing sun at noontide Saw a happy, busy world, For the miller sang right gaily As his great wheel hummed and whirled, And the birds sang in the treetops And the mowers in the field Whistled blithely as the long grass To their sweeping scythes did yield. The setting sun at evening Ere he seeks his night's repose Paints earth and sea and1 sky with crimson, Tints each cloud with gold and rose; Sees the swallow turning homeward Weary with a long day's flight Then he sinks behind the mountain Bidding all the world, "Good Night." The silent, deepening twilight falls on the sea once more As the slowly fading sunset Dies away on yonder shore And the fisher turning homeward Like the swallow to its nest Murmurs as his boat he anchors, "After labor, sweet is rest." The moon upon the mountain Keeps watch o'er the sleeping earth. Over all reigns peace and' silence: Hushed all sounds of toil and mirth But the clock in yonder tower Like a deep-voiced sentinel Seems to say at every hour, "God is with you, all is well." —M.

I heard1 in the pine trees behind me A sad and disconsolate roar. As if the sturdy old giants, That had stood for the centuries gone Were weeping and wailing in anguish At civilization's' dawn. I could hear the axe of the woodsman, As tree after tree he fell. It seemed that a goddess of vengeance Was working some terrible spell. Till back in the grand old firest I heard a wearisome wail That mingled in sadness and longing With the ocean's answering gale. "Come back! O come back to the forest! Come back! O ye red men of yore, Come, dwell again 'neath the branches, Come, fish on the still rocky shore, Come, hunt again in the thicket For the bear, the elk, and the deer O, tell me the stories and legends Of the days when your fathers were here!" And then in the great old pine trees 'Twas more silent than ever before, But my thoughts were away in the forest, And I longed for the old days once more, The days of the elk and the cougar, The days when the Indian was here, The days when the forest I loved so, Had nothing—no nothing—to fear. Then drive from our wild Western forests, The hand that blights and destroys And bring again to the woodland The life that the red man enjoys. Bring back the elk and the cougar, Drive away him who e'er turns the sod, O! let this land ne'er be for man, But the hallowed spot of God! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [30] ---------- g g ^ g a a i i i i i i n i THE GAGE-DODSON GO.

The next Front will be April 4. The Western Front Toxins burned despite warningBy K.L. Hansen and Don Hunger staff editors For the past 11 months, Western's hazardous solventswere burned at Thermal Reduction Company in Ferndale even though the university, was notified inwriting that it could not accept them. On Feb. 28,1988, Western provided TRC with a list of hazardousliquids it wanted to incinerate. TRC Operations Manager Doyle Cahoon responded in a letter, "We cannot accept your laboratory's waste solvents for disposal at this facility." Western Safety Officer JoseHarrison said Western chose the least expensive means of hazardous waste disposal rather than pay the high costs of meeting state and federal standards. Western incinerated an average of 125 pounds ofhazardous solvents per quarter at the * incinerator, Harrison said. He chose this method because of lowcost and disposal regulations that allowed it, he said. Although TRC denies it, Harrison said TRCknowingly accepted the waste, contained in one-gallon plastic milk cartons filled with sawdust, for 18cents per pound to be burned immediately. The university's other option was to pay a contractor $5 to $7per pound to transport the waste to a disposal site in Texas, Georgia or New Hampshire, he said. JimAnderson, TRC president, said incineration of Western's wastes occurred without his knowledge. "Ifthey're disposing of chemicals at TRC, they're in up to their necks in alligators," Anderson said. "I didn'tknow he was doing it." Correct disposal is the responsibility of the generator, he said. "It's up to them totell us what they are bringing, not for us to check on what they have brought." State regulations requirehazardous wastes be incinerated at 2,300 to 2,400 degrees Fahr^ enheit. TRC burns at 1,800 degreesFahrenheit and therefore is unable to accept toxic substances, he said. Wastes are hazardous if theyare flammable, carcinogenic, or toxic. Some examples are acetone, heavy metals, hexane, radioactive isotopes, pesticides, herbicides and fossil fuels. They receive their hazardous designation from thematerial safety data sheet provided by the See Toxic on page 3 Post-season tears Legislature splits onbranch campus vote Jesse Tfnsley^The Western Front Two fans share a tearful moment followingWestern's men's basketball team's 73-67 loss to the Central Washington University WildcatsWednesday. The Wildcats won the NAIA District 1 championship after taking the final game of the best-of-three series against the Vikings. By Eric C. Evarts staff reporter The state legislature cast a split vote Monday on. creating branch campuses for the University of Washington and Washington StateUniversity. The bill failed in the Senate Ways and Means committee, but won approval on the Housefloor. Jim Sullivan, executive director of the Washington Student Lobby called the votes a setback for afull branch campus system. However he emphasized that a key bill is still alive in the in the Senatewhich does not include branch campuses. The Senate bill would increase funding specifically for UW,WSU and Central Washington University. In 1987, legislators appropriated money to increase thequality of education at the state's existing universities but said that was only half the money theybelieved should be appropriated. Sullivan believes the legislature will try to fund the balance of theincrease this session, which won't happen until the state's quarterly economic forecast comes in laterthis month. Harriet Spanel, 40th district state representative, said the House bill appropriates no moneyfor the branch campuses but is just the first step in the whole process. She said she voted against thebill because she is concerned there will not be enough money in the long range to fund branchcampuses, as well as existing universities and community colleges. The branch campuses areexpected to cost the state several hundred million dollars to build and operate over the next 10 to 20years. After the Legislature receives the quarterly economic forecast, it will look at proposals from thegovernor, the Higher Education Coordinating (HEC) Board and from within the legislature. Gov. BoothGardner has proposed increasing Western's enrollment lid by 350, while the HEC Board recommended a 150 student increase. The governor has also asked for a $1.2 million cut in programs for regionaluniversities. Spanel said she hopes those cuts will not be necessary. "I think (the legislature) is trying to work so everybody gets something," Sullivan said. "But I don't think the branch campuses will passfirst." "We have regional universities that haven't been filled for 10 years. I don't think we should bebuilding new universities at the expense of the old ones," Rep. Sim Wilson told the Bellingham Herald.Western has turned away thousands of students because of state-imposed enrollment lids. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 10 - Page 2 ---------- 2 March 10,1989 The Western Front HHBBHHH Shannon Point receives grant Shannon Point MarineCenter has been awarded a $17,00 grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Instrumentationand Laboratory Improvement program.

Housing anddining rates may jump by 9.8 percent By Sara Britton staff reporter Three students who attended auniversity residences public hearing to discuss on-campus room and board rate increases discoveredthey might have to pay 9.8 percent more for their dorm rooms next year. Under the proposed housingand dining budget for 1989-90, the cost for a double room, 21-meal plan on an academic (three quarter)contract, would increase to $3,100 per year from its current $2,823, said Roger Oettli, businessmananger for the housing and dining system. The rate increase would cover rising costs of operation,particularly in student salaries, and facility improvements, Oettli said. The largest operational increase will be to raise student salaries to meet new state minimum wage standards. Other climbingoperational expenses include cost of electricity (up 10 percent), natural gas (up 4 percent), andwater and sewer rates (up 8.8 percent), Oettli said. "One of the things we're getting is that students want to see better facilities, like computer rooms, better lounges and renovated dining halls," Oettli said.University Residences has received student feedback from Inter- Hall Council and the AssociatedStudents, he said. Even with facility improvement expenditures, Western's rates are lower than those atWashington State University and the University of Washington, Oettli noted. 'It's impossible for us to be the least expensive and offer the best facilities and programs," he said. . University housing anddining rates have increased more than five percent each year since 1986. University Residences willrequest approval of the proposed budget from the Board of Trustees on May 4.

As long as the El Salvadoran government and military act aspuppets of the U.S. administration, the U.S. plays the principle role in bringing the country's bloodyeight-year civil war to an end, he said. With $2 million per day invested in the El Salvadoran war and 200advisers in the country, the United States is the country's military and political driving force, he said."The U.S. has bloodied its hands with ' Salvadoran blood. Now, the solution is also in your hands,"Estrada said. The Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, representing political and militaryopposition to the Salvadoran government, presented a proposal Jan. 23 for a negotiated solution toend the war. It calls for public support of the Democratic Convergence, a political coalition which basesits platform on the popular movement and postponement of next month's national election in order todevelop a new electorate code. Estrada and Rene Hernandez, the U.S. Representative of the GeneralAssociation of Salvadoran University Students, are principle leaders within the Salvadoran studentmovement opposed to the U.S.-backed government. They are on a U.S. tour to gather support for theFMLN proposal. Hernandez said at an earlier press conference, "The day U.S. aid is cut, that sameday we will have 80 percent of our problems solved." In the last six months several university buildingshave been bombed. Active student and faculty demonstrators have, been captured, tortured and killed,and the Salvadoran military now maintains an encirclement of the university, he said. Toxic Continued from page 1 Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration. Anderson expressed dismay thatWestern was disposing of its waste improperly at TRC. "It's disappointing. Hopefully, people (disposing)are informed ... To divert it (hazardous waste) from proper disposal is unacceptable behavior. It'sunfortunate." Harrison said he has anticipated a change in waste disposal procedures for some time."I've seen this looming. I knew this was going to happen ... It wasn't really legal, but I was taking it (toTRC) because I had to get rid of the things." "I've been asking for money all along. But I didn't need tobecause I was able to get it (incinerated) at 18 cents per pound (at TRC). Why strain the budget?"Harrison said several factors have contributed to Western's disposal methods. Campus laboratoriesgenerate an average of 125 pounds of hazardous solvent waste per quarter. The Institute of WildlifeToxicology, at Huxley College of Environmental Studies, produces about 90 pounds of hazardouswaste each quarter. Chem- USE TOUR BRAINS FOR SOME EXTRA CREDIT. At Pacific First webelieve money shouldn't be your learning disability. That's why we offer a wide variety of loans for everytype of student Like guaranteed, retroactive, vocational, out-of-state, and summer school loans. Andthey all can be at the maximum limit allowed by the Department of Education with a minimum approvaltime. So let us help you put your brains to good use. Apply for a student loan at any Pacific Firstbranch today. And get the credit you deserve. Pacific First Federal Class Service istry and Biologydepartment labs produce 15 pounds and 10 pounds per quarter respectively, Harrison said. Incinerationcost the university $22.50 at TRC, while proper disposal by a waste management contractor could costup to $975. Harrison's concern with using a contractor is that they might dump the chemicals illegally,he said. If this happened, Western would be responsible for clean up costs. Nonetheless, theDepartment of Ecology has required Western to use a contractor in the future. Harrison said hissuperior, Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs, Peter Harris, was aware of the hazardouswaste disposal at TRC. "Oh sure, yes, Peter Harris knew," Harrison said. Vice President Harris said, "Ijust don'tknow.Maybelshould.butlwas never aware of any agreement between TRC and Jose." On Jan. 18, Western's solvents were burned at TRC for the last time. Lawrence Ashley, DOE inspector, paidWestern and Harrison a surprise visit Feb. 15 to examine the waste management system and found itat fault. Ashley said in some cases, incinerating hazardous wastes can violate DOE and EPAregulations. "It depends on the volume and the contents. I told them to stop doing that (burning wastes at TRC) and they agreed to."

That has to be clear be fore we can take astrong stance," Ashley said. The DOE will not issue any citations to Western if it complies withregulations and sets up a new program to handle the wastes properly, Ashley said. Two weeks ago,Bill Wilson, director of Western's Instrument Center and chemistry professor, was appointedhazardous waste coordinator. He will develop a hazardous waste recycling and disposal system, which may include a graduate study program. "Federal and state regulations are being put into place,"Wilson said. "Universities are small generators. The regulations haven't reached down into our area, butthey are now. We get the regulations and we're going to have to comply with them." Hazardous wastesare not always in liquid form. The university produces solids too, which are double-bagged, marked"hazardous waste" and then thrown into campus dumpsters, Harrison said. Solid waste from the City ofBellingham, including campus dumpsters, is incinerated at TRC.

Examples are the sciences. "If you're going to really teach science and you're going to have students in the lab, it's going to be a high-priced program ... Areas liketechnology and the sciences, including computer science, are costly in equipment and supplies.Biology, for example, spends a lot of money for lab supplies and that's included within the operatingbudget," Elich said. â€¢ Departments that provide a high number of student credit hours at a relativelyhigh cost. Examples are economics and sociology. "The ratios between dollars spent and these otherthings you're talking about are not ideal," Elich said. "We're constantly trying to fine tune our budget sowe get the most effective use of our money and so we can provide the highest quality programs we canpossibly provide." â€¢ Departments that provide a low number of student credit hours at a relatively lowcost. Examples are music and Huxley College. A low instructional cost is a drawback for the musicdepartment because of market demand, said Bruce Pullan, chairman of the music department. Mostof Western's music instructors are affiliates and several affiliates share a fuii-time equivalent facultyappointment. The difficulty is that the university pays less than an affiliate can earn through privateinstruction, Pullan said. "It's the nature of what we do. There's a great deal of private instruction;that is to say, one student and one instructor," Pullan said. Huxley College also has a low instructionalcost and a low number of student credit hours. That's because Huxley has a fairly large graduateprogram, which requires fewer students per faculty member, and an undergraduate enrollment that hasbeen relatively low over the past several years, Dean John Miles said. The apparent low cost ofinstruction really means that Huxley is underfunded in some areas, Miles said. "Clearly, in somerespects, particularly in terms of scientific equipment, we're hurting. So it reduces the quality of theexperience for the student, to some extent," Miles said.

Others are looking forward to bummingaround the town during the week. Trips to Mazatlan, Hawaii and Aspen are unaffordable for most people,but many would like a couple of days to unwind and do something different from the usual party or movie. Here's a few suggestions to occupy those precious days. Lake wood, Western's own lodge on LakeWhatcom, is an excellent, inexpensive way to have a fun time. The lodge is equipped with picnicbenches, shower facilities and an indoor lounge with fireplace and kitchenette. The boathouse contains16 canoes, several kayaks, sailboards, a 20-foot Melges scow, a 21-foot day sailer, 16 two-personsailboats and an Olympic 470 sailboat. Just show Western I.D., choose either a kayak or canoe, andyou're set. It's free! A basic sailing course and a small fee are required to use the other boats. If natureseems more appealing, try taking a BaldEagle floattour. For$48,floating through the Skagit River BaldEagle Wildlife Sanctuary may be the relaxing ticket to freedom. Professional guides are prepared todescribe the habitat and lifestyle of our country's mascot. A hot, gourmet-style lunch also will be servedat riverside near the halfway point. The big city to the north is merely an hour away for those who want to experience more of a "material" vacation. If sleeping in your car and scarfing down dry cheeseburgers aian Americanized McDonalds tickles your fancy, a trip to Vancouver, B.C. can be affordable. Seriousvacationers, however, will prefer the crunchy bedsheets and nifty shampoo samples of a cheap motel.With a decent exchange rate, a weekend in the Great White North with a six-pack of Molson could beworth the money, eh? Chinatown, Gastown, Gran- The Oregon Coast and California are more than ahop and a skip away, but the spectacular drive down the Pacific Coast Highway is worth the trip. villeMarket and Stanley Park are fun areas for shoppers and sightseers. Robson Street offers a variety ofexcellent stores and restaurants. Another happenin' alternative is taking a roadtrip. Cruise down 1-5 withno destination in mind. Just throw a sleeping bag, a tent, a box of Fruit Loops and a toothbrush into thebackseat. Bring your best buddy and sing along with Mick Jagger to "Honky Tonk Woman." If somethingon the roadside looks interesting, pull over and check it out (but ignore the skunk with the tire tracksacross its head). Copulating cows always make nice photos to send home to Mom. The Oregon Coastand California are more than a hop and a skip away, but the spectacular drive down the Pacific CoastHighway is worth the trip. San Francisco and Disneyland are healthy antidotes for the stressed-outstudent. Lead-footed drivers may even be able to make it to Tijuana, Mexico and back before springbreak ends. Souvenirs at a bargain price can be found there, like a pinata in the shape of the professor'shead who deprived you of an A on your last final. Hanging around our little corner of the Northwest ain't abad idea either. Take the ferry to Victoria, B.C. or the San Juan Islands and make a bike trip out of it.Check out Whidbey Island and explore Deception Pass, Ft. Casey and the historic towns of Langley and Coupeville. And don't forget about the Emerald City â€” it's always a hopping place. If leavingBellingham isn' t an option, jump on a bicycle or pull on your stinky sneakers and explore the nooks andcrannies of this bustling city. Follow the railroad tracks along the bay- Illustration by Tony Tenorfo side or poke around the antique shops downtown. Or, be a couch potato and watch "Hawaii Five-O" rerunswhile drinking Black Label beer and eating canned chili. Imagination, transportation and, of course,money are the only limitations to what can be accomplished during spring break. Just remember â€”the most important thing is being able to relax and forget about school. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 10 - Page 6 ---------- 6 March 10,1989 The Western Front ORGASM Sexologist promotes sexual rite of spring By NicoleBader and Gail Skurla Accent editors Editors' note: Our last column of the quarter is dedicated to our faithful readers who have come to the conclusion that we are sexually repressed man-haters. Holdonto your underpants. The third annual National Orgasm Week is happening March 20 - 27, right smackin the middle of our spring break. Dr. Roger Libby, "sexologist" and sociologist, has proclaimed theweek to be a sexual rite of spring. With the assistance of his five-foot- six-inch frog named RoxanneRibbit (what does he do with her, anyway?), Libby will promote safe sexual pleasure in Daytona Beach.His press release tells us that lubricated condoms will be handed out/ as will pins and T-shirts thatsay, "I Came for National Orgasm Week." How thoughtful it is for Libby to schedule this event right after finals and just before new classes begin. We can unleash our pent-up urges without shame orembarrassment for seven blessed days. We want to ask this pervert, what's the use? Face it, Libbyâ€” people are going to have orgasms without you butting into their bedrooms (or wherever the impulsetakes them). And if they don't, you and your sleazeball stuffed horny toad won't be able to assist them in doing so. National Orgasm Week is supposedly "devoted to orgasms through self-pleasuring and with sexual partners." Thanks, Dr. Libby, for giving us permission to masturbate, hump or whatever. Whata relief! We can see it now. Hallmark llliliiii â€¢fti will catch on soon and we can send greeting cards to our friends: Once again it's that time of year/ When seasons draw the juices near/ Situations maybecome sticky, but have no fear/ May National Orgasm Week bring you oodles of cheer. If a card isn'tappropriate, then a simple phone call will suffice. "Hello, Nadine?-This is Tony. Just wanted to see howNational Orgasm Week is going for you. So, did you have one last night? Oh, yeah? Was it self-induced or did someone help?" Golly, if this trend catches on, spring break could eventually be calledOrgasm Break. This would be a breakthrough for Libby, who argues that "sexual desire and caringflourish in spite of media-fueled heterosexual AIDS paranoia." Well, of course they flourish! Lust andlove always will be the ties that bind men and women to-' gether. Maybe we have orgasms â€” maybewe don't Our point is, Libby, it's none of your damn business.

BOOKS Main Attraction brings rhythm and blues to VU By Brad Roberts staff reporter The doo-wop a cappella stylings of The Main Attraction will be featured tonight in the Viking Union Lounge as the final installment of Mama Sundays' winter series of musical programs. The show is an annualevent at Western that rhythm and blues fans won't want to miss. The Seattle Post Intelligencer hascalled The Main Attraction Seattle's best vocal group. Although they perform some original material, TheMain Attraction are well known for their interpretations of classic soul hits such as "Under TheBoardwalk," "The Tracks of My Tears," "Duke of Earl" and â€¢ rock standards like "Louie, Louie." TheMain Attraction started out singing on street corners in Seattle's Pioneer Square. They are now a topregional act, having performed at the Northwest Area Music Awards as The Main Attraction plays at 8tonight in the Viking Union Lounge. well as having appeared on several local television programs. Thegroup has also opened tour dates for Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops and Eddie Murphy, amongothers. The four first came together when Tony "The Human Bass" Graves, a Chicago native, decided toform his own group after touring through Seattle as a member of the legendary Ink Spots. Graves, alongwith co-ibunder Lee Conerly, a former University of Washington Ail-American linebacker, recruitedAntowaine Richardson and Ronnie Rowland to form The Main Attraction. Tonight's performance also will be broadcast on KUGS (89.3 FM). The show starts at 8 p.m. Admission is $3 at the door. Rushreleases live 'Hands' By Drew McDougal staff reporter "A Show of Hands," the third and most impressive live album from Canada's "Power Trio," blends the Rush of old with the technologically influenced Rushof today. A compilation of songs from their last three albums, with the welcome addition of two classicsfrom older LPs, "A Show of Hands" is a 73- minute, 14-song compilation of live recordings made duringtheir 1986 "Power Windows" and 1988 "Hold Your Fire" tours. "Hands" expertly performs a marriage ofRush's older, harder driving style to the synthesizer-laden style of the band's recent past. The album'opens with a 53-sec-ond intro used on Rush's last few tours. "The Big Money," the first song on thealbum, bursts with an overwhelming concussion of electronic intensity. Fuither songs off "PowerWindows," "Grace Under Pressure," and "Signals" manage to continue this intensity from start to finish. The patented Rush style of the early '80s, which well established the band in the pages of rock 'n' rollhistory, is brilliantly represented by two songs most highly praised by Rush fanatics and music criticsalike. "Witch Hunt" is a haunting tale of man's striking ability to let the passions of "ignorance andprejudice"; override common sense and the basic sense of human decency. "Closer To The Heart" isone of the most successful Rush songs of all time. It expresses society's need for RliiHRlvlew achange; a change that starts within all of us, to make the world a better place. A crowd favorite, "CloserTo The Heart" is guaranteed to elicit a warm response from any live audience. "The Rhythm Method,"a four-and- a-half-minute drum solo, successfully completes the marriage of old and new found on therest of the album. A blend of elements from past solos with elements of "The Professor's" new-foundtaking to electronic sampling, the solo elegantly shows why Neil Peart is considered by many (if not all) to be the best drummer in the history of rock. On "A Show of Hands," Rush disproves the rock idiom that, "You can never produce live what you can in the studio." This album is a show of transition,maturity and of raw, i:n-paral-leled talent. It's great for the first time listener, a soon-to-be-favorite of theavid fan and a do-not-miss for the Rush fanatic. RELATIONSHIPS WOMAN STUDIES Passages 310W.

"Specific Gravity," aphysics term that measures the ratio of mass between one substance and another, combinesphysical weight with metaphorical qualities. The metaphorical qualities of the art work suggest ananalogy between two different objects or ideas. Each of the four artists' works contain different ideas of "specific gravity." Jack Chevalier's works contain acrylic-painted scenes of Seattle with diamond-shaped wood forms which project through the painted surface. The paintings are "deceptive illusions"because one has to look closely to see if the diamond forms are physically there or just painted on. R. Allen Jensen constructed three-dimensional cube sections placed against a grid. The sectioned cube is made of sheet metal and painted paper. The weightiness of the cube against . the grid makes the cubelook like it's floating in space. Nancy Mee used glass, metal and pictures of women to focus on scoli-Suzan Seniuk's untitled art piece is on unstretched canvas and will be on display until March 18 in theWestern Gallery. osis and how it affects women's physical beauty. Her works are an analogy of thefragility of the spine and the fragility of glass. Susan Seniuk's works are photo-image paintings onunstretched canvas with painted letters and words on top. The photo images and the words have aheaviness to them. One needs to look closely and at a distance to decipher the images to see if it'sreally a painting or just a photo.

The band's debut LP, "Failure," was called the equal of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul" album by Cash Box magazine, a majorrecord industry trade publication. Cash Box also claimed that "There hasn't been a better pure-poprecord produced by anyone this decade." Although The Posies have since moved to Seattle, the entire"Failure " album was recorded by Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow at Auer's house in Bellingham. The two Posies became four when bass player Rick Roberts and drummer Mike Musburger were added to the lineup. "Seattle's just got a bigger musicians pool," Auer said, explaining the move to Seattle. "Itclicked instantly," Musburger said of the first time the foursome played together. The band citesinfluences from bands like XTC, Squeeze and, yes, The Beatles. Seattle's music press, which iscurrently embracing a grungy rock sound, seems somewhat at odds with The Posies' unabashed pop.Auer noted that the two most negative reviews of "Failure" have come from Seattle publications. "Iguess it's like we don't fit into the underground because we're a little too pop, but we don't quite fit intothe mainstream because we're a little more intelligent," Auer said. "We like to seduce people a little,"Auer continued. "Some people who don't usually listen to pop are thrown a little by the sound of ourrecord." The Posies plan to record a second album soon and hope to have it finished by the end of this summer. A West Coast tour is also being considered. The band has put together a number of newsongs since expanding last May. "The new stuff has more of an Jon Auer edge," Auer said."Ithinkit'sadircct result of the fact that we didn't go record the songs right after we wrote them. Weworked them up as a band and everybody's parts have fallen in." The Posies have been contacted bysome major record labels, but are wary of instant success. "We've gotten lots of calls," Auer said, "butthe theory of this band is to not expect anything and you won't be disappointed."

TheVikings defeated the Concordia College Cavaliers 74-65 in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Bi-District women's championship game in Portland, Ore., last night. Western, which is 29-4,advances to theNAIA National Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. The tournament begins Thursday."We felt like it was our first game at nationals. We had nothing to lose," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "Now we just get to travel east." The Western women's last trip to the national tournament was in1986, when they reached the quarterfinals. Junior forward Alay na Keppler led the Vikings with 22points and sophomore center Cim Hanson added 18 points and 11 rebounds, but one of the biggestcontributors to the victory didn't have a field goal. Junior guard Kerri Browitt scored just one point, butshut down Concordia gunner Laura Jaeger in the second half. Jaeger scored 19 points in the first half,but with Browitt shadowing her she had only four points after halftime and took only five shots. "I hadto stick in her face like crazy because if you leave her open, she doesn't miss," Browitt said. "I justwanted to put enough pressure on her to make her rush her shots." Western never trailed, but never ledby more than eight points until the final second. The Vikings led only 60-57 with four minutes left, butKeppler scored the team's next seven points, giving them a 67-54 lead with only a minute left.Concordia, which won the district 2 championship,ended its season with a 26 and 10 record. It wasthe second time the two teams had met this season. On Dec. 13, senior forward Donna Monette madetwo free throws with one second left giving the Vikings an 80- 79 victory. REJECTION Wildcats stuffVikings 73-67 in overtime thriller By Butch Kamena staff reporter The bizarre homecourt disadvantagereared its head once more Wednesday night. This time, it cost Western's men's basketball team a tripto the NAIA National Tournament. Central Washington University defeated the Vikings in overtime, 73-67, in Carver Gym in the final of the best-of-three championship series to grab the district title and a berth innext week's national tournament in Kansas City. All five times the two teams met this season, the roadteam won. The loss ends Western's season. The Vikings finish the year with a 26-6 record. "Thewhole thing hurts," said senior forward Rich Baxter. "Justlosing, by .one or by 20. Just the loss thatkept us from going to Kansas City." Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front Western Coach Brad Jacksonenviously watches the Central celebration as his wife Debbie, daughter Lynsey and son Kyle offersupport. With 13 minutes left, it seemed the Vikings would be headed for Kansas City. Westernjield a47-35 lead and appeared to be in command. But in the next 10 minutes, the Vikings scored just sevenpoints, and the Wildcats rallied to tie the game, 54-54, on a putback by Carl Aaron with 4:12 left. "I think we got a little tentative," Western Coach Brad Jackson said of the drought. "We had some good shotsthat didn't go in. When you get in that situation, you want to do well so badly that I think you get a littletight." Aaron was a thorn in the Vikings' side all night, as he finished with 34 points. "When Carl's onhe's a tough project to stop," Central Coach Dean Nicholson said. "This was a great game. I have a lot ofrespect for their team." Each team had a chance to win in the last minute of regulation. Central let itschance get away when Jock White's pass to Aaron went out of bounds with 11 seconds left. Westernthen had the last shot, but pressure by Brian Gerig slowed Ray Ootsey bringing the ball upcourt, andOotsey was forced to fire a 40-footer that hit the backboard, then bounced off the rim and tied the score.Central won the tip to start the overtime and 17 seconds later, Alphonso Goldwire hit a three-pointer toput- the Wildcats ahead for good, 63-60. Goldwire had played a total of two minutes in the first twogames of the series, scoring three points. On Wednesday, he scored nine points in 14 minutes. "Afternot playing so much, I wanted to . prove I was a legitimate player," Goldwire said. "Once we got toovertime, we really pulled together." Senior forward Rod Whatley led Western with 18 points. Ootseyadded 16. "I feel like we've brought our program to a point where we're a legitimate top 20 team,"Jackson said. "Our players are confident we can compete with anybody. "We've come.a long way inthree years. Every year, the series has gone down to three games. All of our players can feel real goodabout what they've accomplished." ^9 ^^S^^^^^U^^^^^M iSiHiiitlf Ulalisiit H H i iHHIiiiii lost (111-56) i i l i i M l l li ItfMPIiip amtts HBttl nnmiii lil|lil|l tiHiiitiii lost (69-53) i l i a l i i l l ll liii|i|il liiiiipiiili IgijIliHl!

Although "tackle basketball" might be a littleexaggerated, it is in no way misleading in terms of Western forward Rich Baxter's physical play on the court. In fact, Baxter's tough defense and physical play has led to other team members saying thatonce you have been defended by Baxter, you've been "Baxterized." "Defensively Rich is one of the best,if not the best, player on our team," said men's Coach Brad Jackson. "He's so tough, no one likes to play against him." Baxter, a 6-foot 3-inch forward, is one of five seniors on Western's team who are playingtheir last season. During his three years at Western he has become one of the most improvedplayers on the team and a fan favorite. When he first arrived at Western, however, his chances of evenmaking the team were minimal. "I rarely played in high school," Baxter said. "I would see a minute ortwo at most and averaged only one or two points a game." After high school Baxter walked on to a teamat a small Christian school in Kansas. He made the team there and played one season before hetransferred to another small Christian school in Fresno, Cal. Baxter was unhappy with the way thingswere run at the school so he began searching elsewhere. "I wanted to go to a school somewhere inthis region since this is where I'm from," said Baxter, whose home is in Olympia. "I sent letters tocoaches from a number of schools and Brad was the only coach who responded personally. In a letter he sent he asked me to get in touch with him and he'd give me a look." Jackson invited Baxter to come up and try out for the team and told him if he could make the team as a red shirt (sitting out one seasonwithout losing any eligibility) that he would make the team and get a good chance to play the nextseason. "Rich came up and gave it his all and made the team as a red shirt," Jackson said. "Hisinexperience showed but his persistence to improve and hard work ethic impressed me." Baxterpracticed hard during his red shirt season and made the team as an active player the next. He didn't see much playing time in the begin- Monette fuels Vikes' spark with energy, enthusiasm By Chris Webbstaff reporter It's the little things players do that help teams win games and even championships. DonnaMonette does the little things in a big way in helping the success of Western's women basketball team.The 5-feet 9-inch reserve forward's aggressive, energetic play on the court and vocal encouragement fromthe bench make her the inspirational leader of Western's National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics District 1 championship team. "She is our spiritual leader, she lifts the team with herenthusiasm," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. Monette, a senior, came to Western four years ago fromSouth Kitsap High School with high credentials. She was a three-time all-Narrows League choice in highschool and averaged 15 points, 12 rebounds and 5 steals as a senior. It was difficult to come off thebench at first, Monette said of her reserve role. "But then I came to accept my role on the team." Herrole as a reserve since her freshman year, hasn' t affected the respect of her teammates either, who voted her team captain the past two years. Goodrich looks for Monette's energy and enthu siasm to helpchange the tempo of the game. "She gives us a lift off the bench offensively and defensively," Goodrichsaid. Monday's NAIA District 1 championship game against Simon Fraser University showed howimportant a role player Monette can be. Monette came off the bench early in the first half to score fourstraight points, giving Western its first lead of the game. The points were the beginning of a Vikingscoring surge that also helped to shift the momentum and give Western a seven-point halftime lead.Monette thrives on the competition and pressure involved in basketball games and her experience andconfidence help the team in crucial situations of a game. An example was Dec. 13, when Western played Concordia College in Portland, Ore. Concordia was leading by one point with one second left in thegame and Monette was at the foul line. "It's something I've always dreamed of," Monette said of theopportunity. "I had put myself in the same situation during the practices previous to the game," she said. "Their coach called timeout to try and ice me but I knew I would make them (the free throws)." Monettewas good on her word. She made both shots to give Western a 80-79 victory. "It's funny, those were myonly points of the game," she said. Goodrich said it's always a pleasure to have a player like Monette on the team. "I've never known her to come to practice or a game not enthusiastic and ready to play,"Goodrich said. ning of the season but as he improved Jackson worked him into the games. "Rich is atenacious guy with a huge heart," Jackson said. "As the season progressed he learned to combine hisphysical skills with his mental skills. Last season we were very cautious about his shooting. He wassporadic, but this year he's shooting real well and has made some big shots for us this season." Oneof those big shots came in the regular-season win at Central Washington University, when Baxter ' hit athree pointer late in the second half to give the Vikings their first lead since early in the first half. TheWildcats never regained the lead and Western won its first game in 17 years at Central. Baxter startedthe last three games of the regular season and averaged 9.7 points per game. Defensively he averages4.1 rebounds per game and is one of the team leaders in steals. Baxter relates his improvement to anumber of different aspects, all of which pertain to his faith in God. This summer Baxter participated in a"walk with Christ" program which allowed him to get a better one-on-one relationship with God. "I set afew things in my mind this summer to help improve myself and my play /'Baxter said. "I decided that Ididn't want anything to get in my way, so I cut down on parties and drinking and anything that may harm my health. I had a complete change of lifestyle and my walk with Christ helped me accomplish that."Baxter said he will only give something a 100-percent effort or it isn't worth doing. When practicing hesaid the effort is the same as a game; the difference is the excitement. "I believe that God wants me to be successful. So if I work hard for myself, he will work even harder for me," Baxter said. Ending hiscareer as a player for Western is hard for him, though he wishes to remain a part of the team as astudent assistant. Baxter wants to finish his degree in physical education and continue to work withthe team saying that it's a great feeling being associated with a winning program. "Finishing my careeris a bittersweet feeling. I wish I had one more year with the team as a player because I'mimproving," he said. With the playoffs and Baxter's playing days at Western over, the fans will are likelyto miss, but not forget, his brand of "tackle basketball." Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front VikingCoach Lynda Goodrich, left, says Donna Monette, shown celebrating the NAIA District 1 championship, always comes to practices and games enthusiastic and ready to play. Western team sails into victoryTwo Western sailing team members sank the spirit of the Royal Roads Military College as Westernclinched first place at the Victoria, B.C. school's Springfest Regatta on March 4 and 5. The team of TomKrabbenhoft and Michelle Wilkinson sailed into first place by five points over seven other schoolsincluding the University of Washington, Seattle University, Portland State and the University ofVictoria. "We sailed fast and strong," Krabbenhoft said. The team was behind after eight races onSaturday, but battled back during four races on Sunday despite shifty winds to blow past theiropponents and capture the victory. Track team season opens Saturday Western will begin its 1989 track and field season Saturday, at the 19th Annual Salzman Relays in Tacoma. Triple jumper Jerry Hopper,race walker Tony Engelhardt, sprinter Hollie Watson and distance runner Genevie Pfueller are thereturning All-Americans in Viking uniforms. "We're (Western) excited about this meet but may not bequite ready because of the weather," Western coach, Kelvin Halsell said. "We've got some outstandingathletes," Halsell said. "As far as the men go, I think our chances look really good at the district level."But, realistically, there's not much chance of our women winning district or even placing second. We'rein a rebuilding period." Sprinter Brian Estes and hurdler Kelly Susee return to pace the men's hopes.Estes set a school record at 200 meters and tied the Western mark in the 100 meters as he won bothevents at district and anchored the 4x100-meter relay team to a come-from- behind victory. Susee, adefensive back for Western's football team, captured the 110-meter hurdles crown (14.88). KirstenOpple was seventh at district at the 400 meters (65.45) and expects to contribute a lot, Halsell said..â€¢j.ritraM^niTrmiirinTrrrni â€¢ W H S * H 9 KEGS to go Special $2 OFF STROHS AVAILABLE A \ at the BEECH HOUSE PUB J*.

Western's hazardous wastes were burned at unsafe levelsfor four years, putting the health of Whatcom County residents at risk. Western's own safety officer, Jose Harrison, knew federal and state regulations were not being followed, yet he continued to dispose of thewaste in the same way. State regulations require hazardous wastes be incinerated at highertemperatures than Thermal Reduction Company incinerators can create. But instead of hiring acontractor to dispose of the waste safely, a low-cost, unsafe alternative was used. Harrison cited lowcost as a reason for continuing to incinerate the waste at TRC. He should have insisted on getting abudget that would have allowed safe disposal. The money he saved may be paid in fines if theDepartment of Ecology cites Western. Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs Peter Harrisshould have known about the problem for at least the past year because he was on the hazardousmaterials policy board. A committee, of which Harrison and Harris were a part, enacted a policy last year to "establish a uniform standard for handling hazardous materials." The people who put the system inplace didn't use it. If these safety policies were ignored, who knows what other hazards are being leftuntended. Our safety officers should be fighting for money, instead of endangering students, faculty andstaff. K.C. or bust Thud. That's the sound of a few Western basketball fans jumping off the bandwagon.They're forgetting a season that was full of entertainment and upsets. They're forgetting how the teambroke a 17-year losing curse in Central's gym. And they should remember Western's women's team isstill going to the national championships. The bandwagon headed for Kansas City hasn't left yet â€” it'snot too late to hop back on.

He had no history of heartproblems, so there was basically no reason for him to die. Ramirez, a senior from Ohio, is the firstathlete whose death has been linked officially to the use of steroids. The coroner said it was his strong opinion that the use of anabolic steroids did in some way contribute to Ramirez's death. Ramireztold others before he died that he used steroids because he wanted to get big and get girls. Pick up acopy of Muscle Fitness or Flex magazine these days, and the first response from the averageAmerican is: "Those guys are on steroids." The world of bodybuilding is being swamped with the imageof men shooting up to get big. Steroids are now synonymous with bodybuild- Jeff Walker staff reporter . ing, and its use is not limited to the pros. The Food and Drug Administration commissionerestimates that 10 percent of all high school students use steroids. And steroids have already claimedtheir first casualty. Well, gang, its a shame that the youth in America are willing to flirt with danger inorder to impress girls and become more muscular. Oh, I admit that I lift weights to make myself moreattractive to the opposite sex. And I also admit that Lou Ferrigno is my idol, and I hope to someday beas big as him. But I'm not willing to chance it all by shooting up. Maybe the teens don't know howdangerous anabolic steroids are. Maybe they don't know steroids can cause physical and psychologicalside effects, among them liver and kidney disorders and tendon damage. And maybe, the educationsystem in this country hasn't done a very good job of informing students about steroids. The schools inAmerica are doing their best to inform students about AIDS, alcohol abuse and drug abuse, but they'reskipping over something that's being used in their own locker room. Why isn't information about steroidsbeing passed out with the rest of the pamphlets? Something needs to be done about steroids. Untilsomething is done, students will continue to use them in hopes of muscle growth. But in reality, thecase against steroids is the only thing that keeps getting bigger.

I propose a creative scenario â€” oneexchange, two moves, three benefits. Everybody profits; nobody pays; problems solved! First, reprisebiology professor Don N.

Everybody profits; nobody pays; problems solved! Applause, please! ErhortA.Schinske professor emeritus, speech pathology and audiology Triple inequity deemed unfair Editor,As I leaf through another edition of our beloved Front, I can't help but point out some obvious inequitiespresent. 1. Why should a portion of my hard-earned tuition dollars go to support campus housing anddining when I have never, nor ever will live on campus? 2. A fee of $9 is substantial, but a $25 fee for ahealth clinic I have never, nor ever will visit strikes me as being unfair. (I am privately insured). 3. At the possible fear of being unjustly labeled a racist, I would like to point out a quote by Western's ownadmissions director: "Ethnic minorities are always given special . considerations." How can raciststatements such as this be tolerated in a land where "all men are created equal"? Robert Merhautsenior, history major Bogus bike ban unenforceable Editor, Who really cares if there's a ban onbicycles? Yes, Tammy, you remember bicycles â€” those things we all had to ride because wecouldn't get a license as kids. I know it's hard to believe, but some of us still can't afford a car. Now youwant to stop us, but the funny part is that you can't. Do you think our beloved campus security can doanything? Nooooo! Do you think Bellingham's finest want to do anything about it? Nooooo! They'reoverworked as it is without enforcing such a petty ruling as a ban on efficient transportation. But you go ahead and make your ban, Tammy. I don't care if there's an officer there or not. Suppose, for amoment, that they would bother enforcing it, and suppose they try to stop a cyclist. They would nevercatch someone on a mountain bike through campus anyway. They can't catch them on foot, and Idoubt they would try plowing through crowds of people with their police cruisers (we'd have to ban copson campus) or drive up and down stairs. And the poor bikers who can't get away will have an easymethod for clearing themselves of all blame and responsibility. They simply put on their good ol' RonnieHalloween masks and say, "I don't recall, as I was on medication at the time." Dave Middleton senior,psychology major Islam religion needs respect Editor This is a letter in rebuttal to Leila Logan's letter"Islam fanatics forget mortality." Ms. Logan seems to forget, or not even realize, that Islam is areligion that a large population of this world follows. Islam teaches that Mohammed is not the "Son ofGod" but represents the words of our God. The Koran is as sacred to Islamic believers as the Bible issacred to (ZP'4.

Harbor Center, Suite 170 1801 Roeder Ave,Bellingham you. Our religion is not that of a people who commit acts of terrorism â€” that is the currentpolitical position of one Islamic leader, Khomeini, and there is a segment of fanaticism such as thatexhibited by Khomeini in every religion, let me remind you! We have not made Mohammed the holy one,we have noticed his example and followed the one and only book that was given to him by God. If Ms.Logan wants respect for her religious position, she might extend some to others like her. If she thinks Iam like the Ayatol-lah Khomeini, perhaps she is leaving herself open to being accused of resemblingJimmy Swaggart. Thanks to the support of my friends and the person who helped me write this letter. Irealize I am not the only one who feels this way. DinaAl-Shorif senior, psychology major Mixup closesblood drive Editor, Mr. Robert Horn and others were inconvenienced and perplexed by the early closureof a recent Western Washington University blood drive scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. I was equallydismayed to learn of this mixup. It resulted from a misunderstanding on the part of our staff. In order to preserve the unstable components of donated blood, the blood must be processed soon after it iscollected. Our staff at the drive were under the mistaken impression that all the blood ; collected had tobe sent to the airport by 3:30 in order to make the last flight to Seattle. When unexpectedly largenumbers of donors presented themselves near the end of the blood i drive, the staff felt they had to close the registration center early in order to complete, by the 3:30 deadline, the collections from those whohad already registered. As it turned out, other transportation arrangements could have been made,and the opportunity for a number of people to donate badly needed blood was lost. We have reviewedthis problem and the transportation schedules with our phlebotomists to ensure that this problem doesnot reoccur. We very much appreciate the generous cooperation of Western students in the bloodprogram and apologize to all who were turned away. We hope that we can count on the continuedcommitment of the Western community to provide this life-saving resource.

TheWestern Front March 16,1990 /Volume 82, Number 17 Western Washington University please recycleFreshman Tamashiro: â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢â€¢ A life ends tragically By Michelle Partridge assistant news editor Friendship, both old and new, was cut short Monday when the life support machine keeping a Western freshman alive was turned off. Leila Tamashiro, 18, died soon after from injuries she sufferedin a car accident Saturday night in Surrey, British Columbia. Trina, Leila's sister and best friend, said the accident was something "that just couldn't happen." "It was just unacceptable," she said."Everything we did together was special," Trina said. "I always wanted her with me. It was so naturalto have her there. I always thought she'd be here." Leila's new friends, her suitemates at the Fairhavendorms, had only known her seven months, but said they learned much from their friend in the short time. "From Leila, I learned to enjoy life a lot more," freshman Susie Pasquan said. "I learned not to be sostressed and not to worry so much. She was always so happy and easy going. "That's what doesn'tmake her death so bad," said Karen Dedrick, also a freshman. "When she was alive, she lived as muchas she could. She didn't miss any part of life, because she always did everything she ever wanted to do." Police reports said the accident occurred Saturday morning when a car, in which Leila was a front-seatpassenger, was struck from behind by another car in an intersection. Sue White and Dedrick, both 18,were also passengers in the car. They said their car, which was driven by 19-year-old Jason Craik ofSurrey, ran head on into a tree after being struck from behind by a car driven by Jason Sware, 19, ofWhite Rock, B.C. Leila slipped sideways out of her seatbelt and apparently struck her head on thesteering column. Leila died of head injuries at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, B.C.Trina said her sister was unconscious from the time the accident occurred. Leila's parent's, Kosuke andElmyra Tamashiro, who had flown from their home in Hawaii, made the decision to unplug Leila from themachine keeping her heart alive. "She wasn't really alive after the accident," Trina said. "Her heart wasworking, but only because of the machine. She needed to go because she couldn't stay anymore."See Leila on page 3 David Rubert/The Western Front Dale Rhodes and son, Aron, decide spring is nice,but it's too cold AS employee among first returning to Salvador by Linda Dahlstrom staff reporter DarcyUtterback, Peace Resource Center coordinator, is in El Salvador on a fact-finding trip funded by theAssociated Students. Utterback and travel partner Charlie Morgan, of Houston, are among the firststudents from the United States to be allowed into El Salvador since the opposition movement to thegovernment, the Fara-bundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), launched an offensive against themilitary last November. During the offensive, visitors to Salvador were asked to leave and their visas were revoked. "It's important to have someone there from the U.S. to observe (the military's activities) towards the people," Utterback said. "The people of El Salvador need to know that they are not alone in theirstruggle, for them to know the people of the U.S. stand in solidarity with them,"she said. The U.S.government gives $1.5 million a day to the government of El Salvador, which has enabled it to wage a 10year long civil war. A war in which 70,000 to 74,000 civilians have died and 7,000 have disappeared,according to the El Rescate Human Rights Department in Los Angeles. Utterback arrived in Salvador onSaturday and is tentatively expected to return on April 2. Utterback had originally planned to go to ElSalvador in January, but her visa was denied by the Salva-doran government. The AS paid $842 dollars of Utterback's travel costs. In exchange she will give speaking presentations at Western and in thecommunity about her trip. "The University in El Salvador is one of Western's sister schools. Thestudents there have been victimized by the military for ten years, destroying buildings and infringing ontheir right to get an education," said Greg Anderton, AS vice president of external affairs. Andertonsaid one point that really hit home with him was the July disappearance of the University of ElSalvador's AS vice president of student affairs (Anderton's position here). "He's probably dead or in jailsomewhere right now," Anderton said. "If you're an AS leader down there, you're endangering your life.We have a responsibility to act and send a representative there." While in Salvador, Utterback plans to: * Gather testimony to help break the silence about people captured xr killed. * Work towards getting the University of El Salvador functioning again. * Provide a presence in the community by demonstratinginternational solidarity. Innovative group computers By Robert Sherry Wright of Westerns International ---------- Western Front - 1990 March 16 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front March 16,1990 Asian invasion Charged prof reassigned hits Western By RobertSherry staff reporter Eighty-seven of 387 Asian students participating in the Asia UniversityAmerica Program will be spending five months at Western beginning April 3. Western has had facultyand student exchanges with Asia University, a private school located outside Tokyo, since 1976, andis entering its third year as a participant in the Asia University America Program (AUAP), said CyndyWright of Western's International English Language Institute. "Western was the first participant inthe program and is the head of a consortium of five schools that will participate in this, the programs third year." Oregon State, Eastern Washington and Central Washington universities will participate inthe program for the second year and will host 80 Asia University students each. Boise State Universitywill host 60 students during its first year as a program participant. "Although the programs maydiffer slightly between institutions, Western will act as the consortium leader and try to insure that theprograms are pretty consistent," Wright said. Students in the program will take classes in English asa second language, conversational English, human environment, American history and physicaleducation. These classes will count like General University Requirements at Asia University, as thestudents will not actually be enrolled at Western. Wright said the Asia University America Program isfunded entirely through Asia University, will utilize a portion of Western's available classroom spaceand does not displace Western students. About half of the students live on-campus and the other halfwill live off-campus, Wright said. Nine International Living Group Advisers will live with the on-campusstudents and keep contact with those living off-campus. An additional 70 Western students havevolunteered to help the AUAP students as part of the Volunteer America Friend Program. In addition to the scholastic portion of the program, the students at Western will participate in a group trip toSeattle and do three activities per quarter in groups of 10 with their living group advisers. "The trips andtheir experiences outside the classroom can really help these students effectively utilize their knowledge of English and help them get a feel for what America is like," Wright said. 1 HOUR DELIVERY(MAYBE) 30 MINUTES (GUARANTEED) IT'S TIME FOR DOMINO'S PIZZA?

By Michael J.Lehnert staff reporter A Western sociology professor facing trial on a charge of misdemeanorharassment will likely be reassigned to non-teaching duties spring quarter, Carl H. Simpson, actingsociology chair said yesterday. The final decision to reassign Professor Denis Peter Mazur was madeby Acting Provost, Roland L. DeLorme. Simpson stressed that reassignment is not meant to be aform of punishment It should instead be looked upon as a recognition of Mazur's long service and as ashow of support from the university over the stress and time demands litigation of the case may causeMazur, Simpson said. Mazur will be informed by letter of his change of duties today. Mazur's trial isscheduled to begin June 4 in Whatcom County District Court. The charge stems from a threateningletter allegedly received by a Bellingham woman earlier this month.' Mazur had been scheduled to retireat the end of spring quarter before charges were filed. Mazur's new assignment may include curriculumdevelopment, research or perhaps work on a history of the sociology department, Simpson said.Simpson said Mazur was scheduled to teach advanced demography and introduction to statisticsspring quarter. Lucky Tedrow and Charles Goss-man will joint-teach the demography class. Thedepartment is still searching for someone to teach the statistics class, Simpson said. The positionmay be filled by a doctoral student from the University of Washington who will receive his doctorate thisquarter. Funds to cover the additional faculty salaries were arranged by the Provost's Office, Simpsonsaid. Census requires accuracy By Bonny Block staff reporter Officially proclaimed by the U.S.government as Census Day, April 1 will mark the most complicated and largest census ever taken in theUnited States. A population count is mandatory every 10 years, according to Article One, Section Twoof the Constitution. This census is the 21 st in the nation's history. One week before Census Day, most households in the country will receive a questionnaire by mail. The remaining population will have theirforms hand-delivered by census takers. About five of six families will be asked to answer a short form,which asks for relatively simple information, such as race, ethnic origin, age of household members,marital status and questions about rent and living conditions. A longer form, which will be given to theremaining households, lists more extensive questions. Topics include ancestry, employment,education, income, utilities and type of housing. This information will be statistically balanced to reflectthe entire U.S. population. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's "Your Introduction tothe 1990 Census," title 13 of the U.S. Code prohibits any agency, including the Department ofImmigration, the FBI or any welfare agency from obtaining any specific information gathered throughthe census. Personal information obtained will be kept completely confidential until 2062. Thepopulation count is taken chiefly to determine how many seats each district will have in he U.S. Houseof Representatives. Each state legislature can also reallocate seats if population shifts have occurredwithin the last 10 years. City planners use census information to determine the best locations forhospitals, schools, day care facilities and senior citizen centers. State and local governments candevelop social services programs, assess transportation systems and identify areas where low-costhousing is needed. On a federal level, government officials can decide what areas need assistance.Bilingual education programs, equal opportunity programs and assistance for American Indians, forexample, can all be implemented where needed. In the 1980 census, the Department of Commerceestimated only one percent of the nations's population was not officially counted. Many of thesepeople are thought to be minorities reluctant to participate or people who are homeless. This year,census takers plan to interview every homeless person to reach an even higher accuracy rate. Thehomeless population is estimated to be one million people. The cost of obtaining all of this information is staggering. From 1983 to 1994 the total cost of planning, carrying out and providing results to theappropriate agencies will be about $2.6 billion, according to "Census Facts" from the Bureau of the Cen-American Heart Association WKKKBSKBSKSKBI^KSM luiiiiiiiiiipii^^ wmmmmmi â€¢ DEADLINE FORPAYING TUITION AND FEES for those who advance registered for spring quarter is today, March 16.

Now, she only feels numb. Trina, dressed in green pants she borrowed from her sister lastweek, and wearing her sister's watch, said Leila shared herself with everyone she met. "She wasalways up and energetic, and she was always doing things;" she said. "She loved all the people shemet here at Western. She was really friendly to everyone." "She was always doing stuff for us," Whitesaid. "She loved to help us. When we were sick, she always brought us medicine and cough syrup, orshe would make us tea." Trina said she and her sister have been the best of friends for several years.She said they did a lot of things together on campus. Things such as eating lunch, going for walks andattending parties together. "Anytime I spent with her that she wasn't in a rush was special. Just beingwith her made me feel good," Leila Tamashiro lays across her bed with her cat Pasquan said she can'tremember a time when Leila wasn't happy about something. "She was such a happy person," shesaid. "No matter what she did, she always knew she was going to have fun." Pasquan remembered atime when she was stressed out about a test and Leila made Rice Crispy Treats for her and kept hercompany. she said. "She was my best friend. If I needed to talk she was always there. It was very easy for us to talk. She understood me. She always listened. She is just a big part of me. She was my verybest friend." Trina described her sister as a very happy person ..."so full of life." She said she and hersister shared everything from clothes to friends, and all their secrets and dreams. "We told each othereverything. We always knew we wouldn't tell anyone each other's secrets. When I told her something, itwas just like repeating it to myself." in track, diving, soccer and cheer-leading. She was also a memberof the speech and junior achievement clubs. Trina, a visual communications major, said her sister oftenwas part Hilo next week for spring vacation. Her suite mates said she was counting the days until shecould go home. The Tamashiro's plan to release Leila's ashes into the ocean after the funeral, Trina said. Karen Dedrick, Sue White, Leila Tamashiro and Susie Pasquan (left to right) pose for a photo in thehallway of their Fairhaven dorm. Leila started at Western last fall, two years after Trina. She had not yetdecided upon a major, however, Trina said she was considering the communications field. "She wasinterested in speech because she was really good at it. My mom really encouraged her. But, she hadn'tdecided on anything yet. She was still searching for something she really wanted to do." Leila worked for the campus food service at Fairhaven. Trina said it was the first "dirty j o b " she ever had. Leila's friends said she loved it. "She never, ever complained about work," Sue said. "She even offered to work forother people. She liked it so much because she met people. Instead of work being a drag, it was part ofher social life." Leila graduated from Waiakea High School, in Hilo, Hawaii, in 1988. Trina said her sisterwas active of the projects she did for her classes. "Leila was in all my slide shows and videos. She's the only one who would go through all that for me." About eight years ago, Trina said she and her sistertook a trip to North Carolina to visit their grandparents. She said it was during that trip that she and hersister really became close friends. "All we had on the whole vacation in North Carolina was eachother. Things we normally told our friends we told each other. We spent a whole month, just her and I,talking and doing things. That's when we started being best friends." Trina said having Leila here atschool made things a lot easier, being so far away from home. Leila's roommates said being friends with Leila taught them each a little bit about life. Leila had planned to return to "She was a free spirit. Shereally liked life. She wouldn't be happy being contained," Trina said. "She was special and unique, andindependent and free. She meant something different to everyone. To me, she was everything." Amemorial service will be held for Leila at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Shalom Center.

We're concentrating more on the water," women'scoach Paulette Bergh said. Next weekend, crews will travel to British Columbia for a race on BurnabyLake, hosted by the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. Vancouver andVictoria area clubs and high schools will also be there, saidmen's coach Fil Leanderson. "They (theCanadians) are coming up to the tail end of their season. There will be some strong competition upthere," he said. Due to differences in Canadian eligibility rules, Western will be facing rowers with a great deal of experience. "Their rules are a little different," Leanderson said. "There was one rower lastyear in his sixth or seventh year. But it's good competition for us," he said. Western's rowers will becompeting as a club. Currently, many of the team members do not have eligi-bilty to compete. Thereare many people with eligibility problems this quarter, Bergh said. Both coaches expect to have those problems solved, for the most part, by spring quarter. The crew teams will have a race on March 31 atAmerican Lake in Tacoma against Pacific Lutheran University and the University of Puget Sound. "It will be sort of an official scrimmage," Bergh said. After a fall and winter of hard work, both teams are looking forward to the racing season. "We can run with anyone else," said Leanderson. "I think we've got agood attitude. The kids are eager to go racing. They're getting close to ready to do some (competing)."Our goal is just to do as well as we possibly can," Bergh said.

After slugging back a couple of pitchers of beer we had enough liquidcourage to crawl down that long dark road into the unknown. As we stepped through the door we bothfroze. Not because we were scared but because our feet were stuck to the floor. The manager asked usfor our ID' s (you got to be 21) and said, "Well, you gonna need some quarters, you got quarters?" Wenodded. He glanced at the bulge in Derek's jacket, probably suspecting that it was a perverse sex toybrought along for our added viewing pleasure, and he smiled. Little did he know we were smuggling in a camera to document this dark odessy, twisted abyss of some poor moth-erfâ€” er' s American Dream.Hell was forth coming and we knew it. As we walked to the end of the hallway, we both felt self-conscious about being two males locking ourselves into a booth and watching men and women take it any-which-way it would fit. We knew the management had seen guys come in as couples all the time,but we still felt uncomfortable. What we mean is, we're open minded, progressive journalism types and all that, but we just didn't want Western students Derek Dujardin and Mark Hines explore the dark core of the Green Apple X-rated theater. came in with what looked like a close facsimile of a very large fish.

There's nothing wrong with that lifestyle...it's completely acceptable. Butt we were here for business. No time for horse play. Getting back to the story, we stepped into our chamber of lust and sat down in the two chairs provided for our comfort and enjoyment. Then we pumped that machine full of quarters and sat back to view the large screen that covered the wall in front of us. To our chagrin, thelarge screen remained blank and the video appeared on a tiny screen down below. So much for thelife-size dimensions we'd been expecting. We had a dial for changing channels that listed five differenterotic options. But only three channels worked. We felt ripped off. The first channel was limited to largegroups of men, linked together in a strange fashion we didn't entirely understand. The second channelwas a blend of cinematic montages, vivid action and compelling plot development. We tried to find outwho directed the film so we could get a copy for home viewing but didn'thave any luck. We weren't ableto find out who these fine young actors were, either. The film revolved around a young woman and twobusiness men who didn't have, any pants. But they did have nice shirts and ties. The one man kepttelling the beautiful young starlet that she had "a nice mouth, triangle really got to us young journalists. We teared up, but, luckily there was a large dispenser of tissues to dry oureyes with. Derek didn'tseethe dispenser and began picking wadded up tissue out of the trash can. Qh well.

The shoe woman said she sees somepeople come back three or four times a day. She used to taunt the patrons by pretending to snappictures of them as they walked into the rotting Green Apple. Often times, her victims would run offinto the night, pulling their coats over their eyes. She said that UPS delivers huge packages of tissueabout once or twice a week, depending on the emotional content of the films. One amusing anecdote,she spun quite articulately, involved a fisherman (or seaman) who frequented the establishment several times a day with a 20 to 30 pound silver salmon. She concluded that he must of had some kind of fishfetish. One day he chamber that day. At this time there was a lull in the conversation.

Whether it's streaking, flashing or peeping, some people inour community get pleasure from scaring and shocking us with their lewd practices. Stories aboutperverts are amusing, but people who have experienced a pervert admit it is extremely frightening.Lisa, a Western senior, is an expert at sensing a pervert. She said she has had many differentencounters with them. "I've gotten to the point where I can walk in a room and feel them," she said. Last summer Lisa got off work and went home to her apartment. It was a warm evening, so she left herwindow open. Around 3 a.m. she heard something, but she thought it was a cat. She went to close it and noticed a man outside her window. As she reached for her hand gun, he proceeded to come through thewindow. She pointed the gun and yelled, "Get out or I'll blow your head off and not the one above yourneck .'"He instantly fell backwards and landed on the grass making a perfect imprint of his body. Onanother occasion, she went to her car to get something she left on the seat. It was dark, so she scoutedthe area before entering the car and then was beat up by a man who seemed to come out of nowhere. "Iwas screaming so he kept trying to cover my mouth, but I kept on screaming until he finally let me go,"she said. "I don't know what he would have done if I would have stopped screaming." Lisa said the policehave always been helpful when she had similar problems, but she never leaves her house without a can of mace. When she walks anywhere alone she keeps her finger on the button. "Women should really beprepared, these people just pop out of nowhere," she said. Some acts of perversion are so strange theymake you scratch you head and wonder what is going through these people's head. Julie, who works ata local hair and tanning salon, said they are trying to catch a person who makes tanning appointmentsand then, in the tanning room, peels back the garbage can liner and urinates in it. Get out or I'll blow your head off and not the one above your neck! "They neatly put the liner back in place, so I always feelsorry for the person who has to empty the garbage," she said. Andy Nelson was driving home on GardenStreet when he noticed a man walking down the street wearing nothing but a jean jacket and shoes. Hedrove back to get his girl-friend to show her, but the man was gone. .^ .. v "We figured the cops pickedhim up or he got a date," he said. Debbie and her friends were eating at a burger place when shestepped outside and noticed a 6-foot- 8 man masturbating, stark naked except for his tennis shoes. Herand her friends called the police who came and took him away in a blanket. Of all the perverts in theworld, there seems to be an abundant number of Peeping Tom's. These people gain pleasure frompeering through windows at unsuspecting victims. Christine was taking a shower when she noticedsomeone staring at her through the window. He was so intrigued that he had his face pressed up againstthe window. "I felt like that very moment lasted 5 minutes, when it actually was only 5 seconds," shesaid. The next day Christine went to the store and bought a can of white spray paint. She completelypainted the outside storm window that looked in to the bathroom.

K * * * Perverts rampant By Denise Mead staff reporter Flashers and streakers â€” while the police are seeking who they are, Western studentsare wondering why do they do what they do. While walking home on the Fairhaven/Birnum Wood walking trail, I had a personal encounter with the streaker. I saw something move off the main trail and noticed it was a man dressed in what I immediately thought was very peachy spandex. As I got closer, I realizedit was not spandex at all; he was nude. 1 couldn't believe what I was seeing. I saw a nude man with avery scary grin at 3 p.m. in broad daylight. My heart was beating totally fast as I caught up to the girl infront of me. I told a Greencoat, who filed a report but nothing ever came of it. For all I know he is stillroaming the woods. Sarah recalled a time when she looked out her window in Fairhaven an saw a manflashing her. There were five other people in her room, but she was the first to see the flasher. "You guys look," exclaimed Sarah, "There's a naked guy out there." "The guy just stood there staring at us," Sarah said. "He finally hid behind a tree and he must of pulled on some shorts. He then ran up the hill."Sarah's suite mates called campus security. The police checked it out, but didn't find the man. JuliMcClave and Jim West, resident advisers at the Fairhaven resident complex, are so tired of theirresidents reporting sightings, of the flash*ru^eydefcidedteÂ»ME(eMnibtlt. "The flasher had been standing behind Stack 6 every other night at about the same time, between 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.," McClavesaid. West and McClave set out to catch the flasher. At 10:30 they went up to Sehome Hill and waited."The flasher showed up, but he didn't do anything," McClave said. 'T don't think he is a Westernstudent," McClave said. "He was older, maybe 20-30 years of age and very psychotic looking." PervertPrevention Sgt. John Browne, of campus security, suggests recognizing a dangerous environment,avoiding it and using gut instincts. But if you ate confronted, Browne suggests fleeing toward an open or public place. If you cannot flee, scream something that is meaningful such as, "Help me" or "Call thePolice." Browne said it's tricky deter- 1 mining whether one should give-in or struggle, but there are fourbasic factors to consider the location of the incident, the psychological profile of the offender, thepsychological profile of the victim and what 'they are willing to do in their own defense... If a victim can sense what type of person they are dealing with, for example poor self esteem versus anger, they can decide whether to struggle or be more cautious. If somebody is approached by a flasher, Browneadvises to ignore the individual at the time, then notify law enforcement. Browne said often the flashersdo more than just flash depending on the time of dav . Campus security offers a 1 to 2 hour sexualassault awareness workshop that profiles offenders and demonstrates practical self-defense togroups who are interested.

In the spirit of Live-Aid and Amnesty International's "Human Rights Now" tour, a melting pot of local musicians has banded together to raise their instruments money for the betterment of the Northwest's impoverished, according to the Oct. 6,1988 issue of PeninsulaDaily News. Robert Blake, a full-time program director and music therapist at Peninsula CounselingCenter in Port Angeles, created the major non-profit â€¢ musical production Logos in 1988. Blakerecruited musicians, singers, dancers and stage crew members composed of human serviceprofessionals, medical professions, counselors, mechanics, secretaries and librarians from thesmall community of Clallam County. The 50-member musical group, auditioned by Blake, has performed for non-profit sponsoring agencies, such as Serenity House Shelter in Port Angeles to help the groupraise money for a new shelter. They also perform for public institutions such as the Clallam BayCorrections Center, to provide entertainment to inmates. Logos also has appeared in sold-out benefitconcerts around the state raising funds for housing the homeless, United Way's campaign andperformed in the State Capitol rotunda in Olympia last year at Governor Booth Gardner's request.Logos writes and performs original music about the homeless, child abuse, Vietnam, the elderly andracial issues.

The full-scale production,which includes a 10-piece orchestra, a slide show, special effects and 15 singers and dancers, gives 90percent of all proceeds to sponsoring agencies. The production also provides advertising to all agencieswho lack the ability to promote and sell tickets in exchange for 40 percent of the proceeds. Logos meets and practices at a 22-channel recording facility called Fertile Plateau Recording Studio located onBlake's 10-acre homestead in Port Angeles. Last year alone, volunteers put in 22,000 hours of timeand over $50,000 of contributions including equipment, instruments and donations into producing the musical. Blake, a former castmember and director with the international touring group "Up withPeople" and 'Teople Helping People," believes music helps raise people's consciousness regardingsocial agencies and "helping" professions while drawing social service agencies together to cooperatemore efficiently. Blake, choreographer Wendy Beck and group spokesperson Jean-nie Harper traveled to Japan in November to arrange housing and set up concert dates for the groups tour there in April.Logos will perform its Japan Tour Preview Concert at 7:30 p jn. on March 17 in the Performing Arts Center Malnstage.

Rugby is a game of physical endurance, stamina, speed and skill. "The ball never stops," Greg Keeler, a Western men's player, said. "It is different from any other sport. Once you've played the game you're hooked." Western has both amen's and women's rugby club, and is open to all interested individuals. The men's rugby club has won 5 out of 6 games played so far, and team captain Erin Davis said they plan on winning many more: if they can find some guys. "We are playing well as a team," he said. "We do need a bunch more playershowever." Rugby has been a club sport for many years, though it was a varsity sport in the past. Thepossibilities of this happening again are slim. Although, Davis said, it is possible. "I don't think it would be good because of the competition from football," he said. "Maybe if we pushed hard it would becomea varsity sport." Keeler, however, said he would like to see rugby return to varsity status. "I think therewould be more interest, and the whole program would grow," he said. Keeler said the team hasbasically been preparing for the upcoming spring season, when the club will possibly be going toCalifornia. "So far we have beaten everyone except WAZZU (Washington State University)," he said.The other team captain Carl Grahn said he would not want to see rugby become a varsity sport. "Part ofwhat makes rugby so fun is its informalness," he said. "I don't think the club would want it I wouldn't 'want it, because now it's a free-for-all game that probably wouldn't exist in a varsity sport." Grahn agrees there is a real need for more talent. "It is really frustrating because I know there are talented guys outthere," he said. "I don't know why they are not coming out and playing." The women's coach JohnMcCarthy said the women's team is not doing as well as they could be. Their current record is 7-4-1."I guess we are doing well for what we have," he said. "Our main problem is not getting enough peopleout there playing." Tammi Chick of the women's club defined the benefits of rugby. "We meet people and travel," she said. "Then we drink up afterwards." Golf; Rearing to tee off By Julia Wilson staff reporter Youth and inexperience are usually synonymous with reasons why a team may not do well. But youth and inexperience aren't bad in this case. It is the case of the Western men's golf team, according tofirst-year coach Dean Russell. "We have a lot of talent, but we lack experience. After a few weeks, Ithink that we could step in and have a better week and maybe win one," said Russell. After some.tournament play, Russell believes the confidence and the talent will take over and the squad will beginto excel. Russell is looking to the veterans to take hold and lead the team. Mark Aaserud, Bryan Tomich and Dan Harrington are all returning after good seasons last year for the Vikings. Aaserud andHarrington are the most experienced golfers of the group. Harrington had three top-five finishes in1988, and Aaserud has seen extensive action the past two years. Other returnees are Joel McNeeleyand Scott Ray burn. Pete Paznokas rejoins the team after being a non-letter winner in 1987. As for thenew guys, Russell is optimistic. "The next two years will be really exciting. There is a lot of good talent,and I'm excited to see it perform." __ In addition to Paznokas, Russell is enthusiastic about Jeff Mehlert, a transfer from community college, and Eric Carnrite, a freshman from Au- NEVER AN APPOINTMENT.

Delivery of the shell was expected much earlier. A christening ceremony had been scheduled March 3, for the scheduled alumni race.However, due to problems in construction, the teams have to wait until March 17 or 18 to get the boat. The alumni race has been postponed until April. The boat will be formally christened sometime in thenear future, Leanderson said. ---------- Western Front - 1990 March 16 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front March 16,1990 OPINION We refuse to learn; We drive intoxicated Finals areover. You need to blow it all off. The Up and Up is perfect. You hop in your car and ... WAIT! What'sgoing on here? Everyone knows drinking and driving is stupid, but everyone does it anyway. On March14, The Bellingham Herald reported 12 people were arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.That's one day. We know the excuses, we've used them ourselves: "I only had a few," "I have a gut likesteel," "It's only a few miles" and "I drive better when I am drunk, really." But these pathetic denialsevaporate like a cold "Bud" in July when confronted with a "diwi." For some reason, we refuse to learn.Maybe tonight you'll do it, or you'll be with someone else who is doing it. We have to act like theresponsible adults we want society to treat us as. Drinking and driving has to be something we just don'tdo. When planning to go to the pub we ignore reality. We know, subconsciously, we are going to drinkand drive. We just don't think about it. We certainly don't talk about it, h unless we are discussingsomeone else ... someone who got caught. Options abound to doing it â€” or if this is all you care aboutâ€” being caught. The designated driver plan is often a drag for whoever is the lucky person. Who likeshanging around a bunch of drunks? Other solutions exist. Why not walk, ride a bike or take a taxi? InEurope many people simply don't drive drunk. They bike two, three or four miles to their destination andthen bike home again. They take the bus to the dance club and walk back. They take taxis, and, if theycan't get one, simply walk. This responsibility is one they are mature enough to accept. Sure, it is ahassle. It is also a hassle when you accidentally run into four parked cars on your way home from aHalloween Party. It's a hassle when a drunk hits you head-on going 50- miles-an-hour, breaking your jawand fracturing one of your vertebrae. If we are selfish enough not to care about these things, think of howmuch of a hassle it is having a driver's license relocated â€” or to spend a day in jail, or to pay exorbitantinsurance rates for life. If we accept it that we can't drive drunk, not even after "a few" beers, it won't be ahassle anymore. It will be a way of life. ^^____ Timothy K.

Walkout on chance to care Apathetic students waive rights When the evaluator from Old Main took to the stage of Amtzen Hall 100 with astack of 500 questionnaires last week, half of the intended respondents gathered their books andambled out the door. Due to lack of a number two pencil, a chronic brain disorder or infallible recognitionof the situation as "uncool," 250 undergraduate scholars of sociology chose not to complete one ofWestern's course evaluation forms. So what. They must have had their reasons. And good ones theyprobably were. Perhaps time had simply run out for such frivolities as evaluating the skills of a universityeducator. The 10 minutes of sociology (pronounced "soshe" to those of greater lingo) allotted for thesurvey procedure, were 10 more minutes of the latest Grotto Game Room video addition: Super MarxBrothers. Or perhaps the "departees" were so lethargic from the previous night's festival of beer, pretzelsand monosyl- Janine Parry staff reporter labic small talk, any action beyond an upright posture wouldhave been impossible. Realistically, a few of the delinquents may have been hurrying off to ademonstration about the plight of Latin American countries, the status of urban women or the allegedracism of soda pop bottlers. Raising a cry about the management of our national forests was much moreimportant than raising a cry about the management of our classrooms. ... ~ I don't buy any of it. None ofthis flies as an excuse for not taking part in an example of the most fundamental aspect of democraticprinciple â€” voicing an opinion. Sadder yet, is the fact that many of the "survey jilters" probably didn'tbother to even think of a reason for forfeiting a right to vote. They simply gadged the departing numbersagainst those remaining and pattered out the door behind the visible majority. Pretty gross. The traditionof commenting on the curriculum for which we pay, or on any other issue of even mild importance, hasbeen deemed useless by a colony of mutant annoyances growing in number. They are the apatheticsand they are frighteningly prevalent. The collapsed Wall... environment key Issue Endangered speciesmust be protected T Ruth Noellgen guest writer he whole world rejoices at the collapse of the dreaded Wall that split Germany for almost 30 years. Being an exchange student at Western while all theseexciting things are happening in my homeland, I look forward to seeing East Germany's nature for thefirst time in my life. I became especially excited after learning that unique natural areas have emerged on the East German side of the border as a curious byproduct of the Wall. Cranes, otters and even acousin of the American national symbol, the bald eagle, have been located in the shadow of the Wall.Unusual plants such as yellow digitalis and endangered members of the orchid and cat-tail family alsohave been able to settle under the shelter of watch-towers and barbed-wire fences. These species mightbe common in the United States, but they are very rare in Germany. I hope some of this biologicalwonderland will still be available when I return. Recent reports show Germans from both East and Westare pouring into the formerly prohibited areas to enjoy their new freedom, but only a few showconsideration for the unique environment. Action is required to protect the endangered species â€” eventhough it seems more important to Germans to solve their political and economical problems firstBecause both sides are talking about reunification, establishing all-German National Parks along theborder, as proposed by nature protection groups, could make a good start. Time is precious. Residentsof the beautiful Schaalsee near the Bay of Lubeck in Northern Germany have already seen the firstwaning signs. Immediately after the Wall came down in November, sailboats arrived, a harbinger offlotillas to come. Since then, environmentalists have pressed both governments to set up strictregulations for developmental and recreational use. They fear the vision of a lakeside packed withcottages and cabins of wealthy West Germans and the lake covered with swarms of surfers and sailers.The Schaalsee is not the only endangered area. The wetlands of the river Elbe are as important for cranes and herons as they are for the crowded nearby city of Hamburg. The famous Harz mountains nearGottingen, well-known for their rare lichens and great number of spruces, as well as the Rhon mountainsat the three-country corner of Hessen (West), Bavaria (West) and Thuringen (East) need protection.Thomas Neumann, a spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), recently warned of a potentialwave of tourists coming with favorable spring weather and flooding the former death strip. Clear conceptsfor the permanent protection of these reserves do not yet exist. West Germans conservationists,however, have proposed five border-spanning natural parks along the frontier.

Just say yes to sex with spouse, or sin Dear Editor I'd like to respond back to the "Christiansrepressed sexuality unnatural" article. I know many people | feel this way, and it shows that not manyknow true Christians. A true Christian, meaning being Christ-like (not church-like), shouldn't have awarped view about their sexuality. God created sex to be good, and to take place within a mutual,healthy relationship between a man and a ) woman. There are many reasons for this. Sex outside themarriage shouldn't be a "much-outdated code of ethics." Everyone should think about AIDS and otherrampant sexually transmitted diseases that would be dramatically reduced if everyone would waitAnother reason sex is wonderful only in a marriage covenant is that sex puts us in the most vulnerablesituation for rejection. How much more vulnerable can you get than sharing yourself entirely withanother person? But if one is rejected after that moment, much emotional damage is done. I knowmany, both men and women, who have been deeply seared from rejection from giving themselvesaway out of the security and trustworthiness of marriage. I personally would not feel secure in amarriage if my husband couldn't control himself before getting married; what is going to stop him afterthat commitment? The answer is nothing, and we all have heard the statistics of infidelity. I don't think itis out of date to want a faithful spouse. As a Christian I have learned to think healthier about my ownsexuality. Yes, we are sexual beings, and sex is wonderful in a marriage (two people promising securityand trust to one another as long as they both shall live). God created sex to be beautiful (Read Song ofSolomon). A point was brought up that premarital sex is OK now because when the Bible was writtenthere was no birth control. God doesn't say we shouldn't because He cares for our emotional well being.He wants us to feel totally safe, secure and loved. Instead of Christians being seen as "the mostsexually repressed and hung-up creatures in the entire universe," I hope you can someday see thatwe are really set free in Jesus Christ to not be rejected and hurt, but to feel good about our sexuality and totally loved. We're not worried if your spouse is going to be unfaithful and share his or herself withsomeone else in that unifying experience of love in a physical way. Instead they will say it's for youonly â€” doesn't that sound good? I was sorry to read that so many Bible thumping, hypocritical peoplehave turned you off to what the true meaning of Christianity is. I hope that you can find it in you heart toforgive them (for they too are fallible humans) and check out the "real stuff' for yourself. In Him, JeniLewis RECONDITIONED BIKES. 733-2485 AFTER 5:00PM.

But being a Black-American student who has climbed and talked to people on both side ofthe fence, I would like to say that before you print another story blaming white racism as to the reasonblacks don't come to or stay at Western, let's address some other very real facts. Something that is very real at Western is the fact that racism of blacks against whites is far more prominent and blatant thanthat of the opposite and accused. Let's look at some examples: The Black Student Network meetings are for blacks only. And it's a nice idea but let's just imagine if there were a White Student Network forwhites only. Sounds like a Nazi supremacist meeting if you ask me! (And imagine the black protests!) Ifany white student has ever attended one of these meetings, they would know what I mean when I say I've been there when a white student attended and it wasn't pretty. There were derogatory comments like "What's he doing here?" and someone even said to me, "I thought this was an all BLACK meeting!"Sounds like building a fence of segregation â€” wouldn't Martin Luther King, who wanted everyone to be able to live side by side, be mad! What about the minority retreats where blacks and other minoritiesdiscuss racism and other things â€” also a place where whites are not present (or even welcome).Imagine what sort of protests would occur as a result of an ALL WHITE retreat. (Sounds kind ofKKKish). What I 'm wondering is that since we all as minorities know about, and have discussed racisma number of times, wouldn't it make more sense to have a retreat including all races so that we couldhave a chance to take the time to get to know their point of view on the subject instead of just assumingthey are racist? Maybe that would lower the amount of paranoia on campus, (and I think JesseJackson would greatly approve of this Rainbow Coalition idea.) And last but not least, last year, I wasinvolved in a dispute regarding the various races working for the Multicultural Services Center. I had toask our Vice President of Student Affairs to keep a Hispanic woman in that administration and convincethe VP that this lady was, and still is, doing a great job with the students of ALL colors who go in for herhelpâ€” . because certain black students thought that it was pertinent that they deal only with a blackadministrator. These same students were also trying to get rid of a couple other white people whoworked in that office because they thought an ethnic center should only have ethnic people workingthere. (Gee, will we go to any length to create our own little world or what?) Now, I'm not saying thatwhite racism against blacks does not exist here. I, myself, am wondering how the media would acceptmy new tilm BETRAYED U, where all us black folk take all you white folk out into the woods and useyou for target practice, and see how you like it. Let me reword that... what I am saying is as Black-American students, no one owes us anything â€” respect, greetings, free money, smiles, a job or aplace in society. There are equal opportunities in America for everyone and in order to make thoseopportunities work best for each of us we must become contenders in the world we have, instead ofbuilding our own little black world and becoming prejudiced and jealous of those who aren't in our littleworld. We just can't keep using our color as an excuse not to try, or as an excuse not to have to getalong in society whatever color that society may be. We can't keep calling racism. Being afraid oflosing our ethnicity is not a factor because bur ethnicity is inside of us and no one can take thataway from us, no one else can determine if we are too black or not black enough, and having ethnicitydoes not mean we can't get along jivith other races. If we are afraid of losing some of our blackness in the process then maybe we are insecure about it in the first place, thus we become enthnocentric, militantor even racist, building these fences to hold on to it. So editor, before you print another article shoving white racism accusations as to the reason why blacks don't come or stay here at Western down ourthroats, I ask that you delay the printing of that article for a while, so that we all â€” white, black, yellow,pink, purple or green â€” can stop, take a look at the man in the mirror, see how she/he is dealing withthe little (or big) racism (that is inside all of us) work on that firstâ€” before we accuse another of notliking or doing for us just because of our color. I believe once this is done, the paranoia will ease away and open the road to new friendship, mutual understanding and best of all â€” THERE WON'T BEANY MORE FENCES. Nichole M.

Their government is willing to protect endangeredareas "temporarily from rude interventions." But resistance by sportsmen and border residents againstany restrictions of their new freedom is growing â€” even to the extent of founding a grass-rootsorganization to protest closing the border again on environmental grounds. East Germanenvironmentalists, however, felt wealthy West Germans are the driving force behind these grass-rootsprotests.

Thus, the suggested "temporary protection" of the unique reserves is not enough. The model of national parks â€” that I have admiredsince coming to the United States in 1985 â€”is ideal for Germany. True enough, the Germans are busyworking out their social and economical concepts. But they also should consider that nature protectionis well recognized as an asset of nations. Germany now faces a unique opportunity to transformyesterday's blight â€” the dreaded Wall â€” into tomorrow's blessingâ€”a network of national parksjoining East and West. That is what I hope to see when I return home. Apply for job as politicalcartoonist to Kathy Tucker at College Hall 09.

Accompanying the group was Miss Ruth Kelsey, associateprofessor of the art department. All of the students who participated in the three-week junket wereteachers, working on their fifth year. ON AUGUST 7 the group flew via Canadian Pacific Airlines toMexico City. That afternoon they toured the Lopas residential district to observe examples ofoutstanding contemporary architecture. The week following was spent visiting points of interest inand around the city viewing further examples of art. Leaving Mexico City, the party spent two days inAcapulco. Highlighting: their stay- were colonial churches as well as handicraft markets and shops. Forthe following eleven days the group visited more towns, shrines, and archaeological excavations as apart of their study of the various types of art. August 27 most of the party returned to Bellingham,while some went to Guadalajara for additional sight-seeing. ONE OF THE PARTY, Miss Kath-erineBostwick who teaches in a Bellingham grade school, said, "I noticed in particular, the kindness andcommon courtesy shown by nearly everyone. I never once saw a crying baby. They seemed to amusethemselves." Describing the quite overpowering persistence of the peddlers In the market places,Miss Bostwick said, "I never came so close to kicking anyone in my whole life." She also registereddisappointment over the fact that there wasn't time enough to look the merchandise over more carefully.spent as much as $200 on souvenirs alone," Miss Kelsey remarked while looking over the exhibits in the Art Gallery.

They are very grateful for your spirited cheeringand loyal support through thick and thin. The Vikings found the UBC backs rougher and harder-hittingthan any they had met prior to.that game. The mud, of course, didn't help matters any as it made themslippery and thus more elusive. Statistically the game was a toss-up, but Tom Emerson's toe proved thedifference. Denny Sheppard, probably the best fullback in the conference, was the workhorse of theViking attack, carrying 20 times for 72 yards. Shep, for the second straight year, is among the top fiveball carriers in the conference and certainly deserves to make the All-Conference team, an honor which he did not achieve last season. Sunday is becoming the sports fan's favorite day to watch television.Featured throughout the* afternoon are pro football, pro basketball, and films of both Washington andWashington State games of the previous day. Ray Ciszek's unpublicized, if not unheard of, cross-country team waxed Seattle Pacific College last Saturday. Don Tretreway won the 4-mile run with a time of 22minutes, one second. Tomorrow the team â€” Trethewey, Knute Frostad, Dave Page, Bob Jones, andConny Lauridenâ€”meets in the junior division, under 20 years of age, of the Pacific NorthwestChampionships in Vancouver. Anyone interested in turning out for the swimming team may start working out at the pool in the afternoons. Chuck Stutz is training the squad until coach John Kulbitski is availableat the conclusion of football season. The Viking junior varsity concluded their season last Saturday witha 20-19 setback at the hands of the Monroe Reformatory. The defeat placed their season's mark at twowins and three losses. Tomorrow's game with Central is the most crucial game this season in theconference. Both the Wildcats and the Viks are undefeated in league play. Central has now won 12straight, and with their conference championship on the line, will be trying for the unlucky number of 13.Fred Emerson, who had zvater on the knee earlier in the week, has been pronounced fit for the gametomorrow. This will be a boon to the Viking offensive, for Central's pass defense has proven itselfvulnerable. Emerson is the best passer on the team,, and should be able to penetrate the wildcatsecondary with his tosses. I have picked the winner of each game so far this season; and superstition,certainly not common sense, has me going out on a limb and picking the Viks to edge Central intomorrow's big one, 21-20. Cross your fingers everyone! WESTERN SET the stage for the big game withCentral by slipping by the University of British Columbia, 20-19, in a muddy, break-infested game atBattersby field. The highly rated UBC offense lived up to its laurels a^nd almost turned the tables onthe hard-pressed Vikings. The stout Western defense had their hands full in attempting to contain theThunderbird ground game. TOM EMERSON set up the Viks first touchdown in the first quarter when hereturned a UBC punt. 26 yards to the Canadian 19 yard-line. On the next play, Sheppard lugged it tothe 10, and Len Gargarellp. boomed the final 10 yards for the score. Emerson's conversion made it 7-0.UBC TIED IT UP in the second quarter, marching 63 yards \with Don-Vassos gomg the final" 4 yards.The drive gave indications of the UBC running attack that was to move the rest of the afternoon.Western wasted no time in going ahead. They took the opening kick-off and fought 60 yards alternatingfrom the single-wing to the "T." Sheppard blasted over from the 1 yard-line and Emerson made it 14-7with his kick. UBC capitalized on a break late in the second quarter for their second touchdown. TomEmerson fumbled a punt, and UBC recovered on the Viking 13. Four plays later Wayne Aiken plungedover from the 3. A hard rush on the conversion try forced a wide kick and the Viks left the field leading14-13 at the half. THE THUNDERBIRDS drew first blood in the second half. Garga-rello fumbled theopening kickdff, and the Viks were immediately in the hole. Two plays later Tom Emerson's short punt put the "Birds" in possession on the Vik 22. Six plays later Aiken was squirming over from the 1, andUBC led, 19-14. Western took the ensuing kickoff, and moved 58 yards for their w i n n i n gtouchdown. Sheppard handled most of the ball carrying, and Husel-ton nudged it over from the 1 footline. Emerson's conversion attempt was blocked, but as things turned ' out, it didn't matter. THE VIKSnow cast an eye east of the mountains as they began preparations for the showdown with defendingchampion, Central Washington. Both teams are undefeated in Conference play, and tomorrow's gamewill all but decide the issue. Western took it on the chin from the Wildcats last year, 27-6, in almostthe identical situation as now exists. Western Practices for St. Martins Opener Intramural Sports WITH WINTER SPORTS coming into focus, basketball and bowling have taken over the intramuralspotlight at Western. Basketball season started Oct. 27, with 30 teams slated to play in five differentleagues. Most teams had played just one game as of last Tuesday, with each squad slated to meet once a week. Early leaders in the A league are the Clubfooted Five, Grays Harbor, and the Hapless Hoop-sters. In the B league the Gumshoes have won two games and the Cowpokes have a 1-0 record. In Cleague action Terrace Hall and the Barborites are on top, while Klipsun Hall, IVCF and the MetalManglers lead the D's. The Playboys and the Wood Butchers are leading the pack in the E league.Bowling Team W X's 5 7-10's 5 Key St. Keglers 4 Wazzoo Five 4 Alley Kats 3 Beer Frames 3 RedSnappers 3 Mathes 3 Head Pins 2 Bombers 1 Hospice 0 Spares 0 WESTERN'S BASKETBALLwarriors are rapidly rounding into shape for the coming season. Coach Jack Hubbard's squad hasmainly been concerned with conditioning and defensive drills but starting next week more stress will be placed on offense. Commenting on this year's squad Hubbard stated, "We have better depth atguard this year and more strength at forward. I think this More Sports Page Six year's squad has" thegreatest potential and best looking material of any Western team I've coached." The Vikings open their season at home against St/ Martins on Dec. 1. Seven or eight games are scheduled before league play opens in January. Returning let-termen make Pacific Lutheran, Central Washington, and Whit-worth theteams to beat in Conference action. HUBBARD'S SQUAD is in good physical condition with theexception of Jack DeKubber who has a sprained ankle. It will probably be healed in time for Western'sopener. The varsity roster will probably be selected from the following players: Ron Thompson,Wendell Weld, Roy Kycek, Nel-lo Morganti, Ed Vadset, Bob Petrosik, Jack DeKubber, Ron S a 11 i s,Dermot Cunningham, Ted Fromm, Ron Hanna, Nigel Adams, Bill Wright, Jim Rife and little RonThompson.

The Conference championship hinges on thisball game. All fans who can possibly make it should whip over to the ball game to root the Vikings onto victory. CHIVALRYâ€”A man's inclination to defend a woman from every man but himself. Can't theASB movie committee do something about getting some newer movies for the students. That "IncredibleShrinking Man" is older than a politician's promises. DIVORCEâ€”What happens when two people can no longer stomach each other. Just wondering, couldn't the $150 spent to send four students down toOregon State to look at their SUB have been used for something a little more beneficial. The girls fromSenior Hall and the men of Mathes had a nice informal little get-together last Wednesday. Parlor games and singing were the main entertainment features. Bellingham's answer to "Have Gun Will Travel" issome fellow with an itchy trigger finger who has been going around shooting the windows out ofautomobiles. DID YOU KNOW that there are more women than men witch doctors in the Belgian Congo? JOKE: Have you heard about the two engaged nudists who decided to break it up because they hadbeen seeing too much of each other. It's All in the Game~~a Parable Currently Popular in the ASB bydave amos THERE WAS A FOOTBALL game in Madrid last month. Since it was the first football contest ever played in Madrid, most of the fans did not particu-lary understand what was happening. Spain ismore accustomed to bullfights. Also hard-pressed to, determine what was going on during that timebetween opening kickoff and final gun were the reporters. One ambitious lad with pencil and pad turned in a very creditable job. He omitted only one item: the final score. Reporter Alfonso Granada, to his friends known as Al, did see what was happening in the game. He caught sight of an illegal receiver downfield.He noted two clipping violations, at least five blocking infractions and illegal procedure. The refereescalled penalties for none of these; however it evened out because both sides were equally guilty. Al didhis duty as a reporter. He pointed out the methods of both sides while explaining the game highlights and scoring patterns. However, as was mentioned before, Al left out the final score. From a convertedbullfight stadium in Spain, we jump to a converted gymnasium in Western Washington College. It is nowtermed a Student Center. If what is going on there is a game, it is indeed a very serious game. Let'scall it a meeting of the Legislature. Like reporter Al, the Student Center reporters are sometimes hardpressed to determine what is going on Wednesdays between the first bang of the gavel and the final "Imove to adjourn." Coming out of a coffee conference huddle, the first play might be a committee chieftossing a direct forward pass. This type of play can be seen easily by the players and by the audience.However, a later strategy might be a quarterback sneak which has some of the players and most of theaudience faked out. They know it scored a touchdown, but they are not quite sure how. The reportercannot let the technique of the play slip by. If he has seen the play, he will record exactly whathappened. Perhaps he will need to know more about the maneuver. Then the players, the opposition andthe persons who know the players and the game are asked. If an answer is supplied, the report will statethat J. Campus, an expert of the game, believes the sneak was called because . . . Since J. likes to have friends, he will request that his name not be devulged to the public. Honoring the request, J. becomes a"usually reliable Student Center source." THE REPORTER, using the above technique, is able to present the background of the story without inserting his own ideas; that is, without editorializing. The team maynot be pleased that the secret of the quarterback sneak is revealed. After all, the opposition might getonto the play. But the Fourth Estate is also looking at opposition plays and will present both sides. What will the players say in the locker room? Well . . . I What will they say in public? They are quite apt toaccuse each other of the sneak but both emphatically deny the play themselves. One cannot helpinserting an idea that the reporter just might be less partisan than^ either of the participating factions.One further fact should be mentioned: We give you the final score.â€”Lyle Price The boys at MRH wantme to give them a plug about their mixer* tonight. It'll be at 9 in the Rec hall. Like all our other mixers this quarter, it should be a smashing success. For the Rec hall, most of the mixers have been toosuccessful, as it gets too crowded in the hall, and after the first hour or two it gets a bit tough to breath. Ithas been suggested that the people not dancing should not take up valuable space in that enclosure andshould go outside. Personally, this is one of those comments that somehow manages to go by me. Well, Homecoming is approaching fast on the horizon. The theme is a good one, Dixieland Jubilee, and hasmuch to offer, in a variety of ideas for skits, floats, and house displays. As usual, the Princess andQueen election holds a high amount of interest, and is tops on most of the students' minds. This year thecandidates for these esteemed positions are more beautiful than everâ€”every year things seem to getbetter and better in this department. It looks like the hottest contest of the lot will be the race forSophomore Class Princess. The Freshman class has a lot to offer also. GIRLS: I AM bribable, and beingliberal minded, if I am needed, I'll be an escort for any of you. I'm perfectly willing to go out with beautifulgirls (shucks, I'm more than willingâ€”I'm eager!). Tm available. Tomorrow is the BIG game with Centralover in Ellensburg (and is it a burg . . .). It should be quite a show over there. Many Western students are going over to see the game. Besides uncountable carloads going over, there will be approximately fourbus-loads on the go, including a pep band and the whole pep squad. Last year the trip proved to be aball, even though we did lose the game. This is one of these things that is really worth the effort. Y'allcome . . . Delegates Return from SUB Meet With 'New Ideas' jbotn tUe Â£tudepit Ceide\ Why shouldwe support the proposed amendment to Article VII of'our Constitution? LET US TAKE a look at theproposed amendment. It reads as follows: "(A) To be eligible to apply for the position president, astudent must have completed at least six quarters of college resident work, three quarters of which mustbe at Western Washington College." Quarters are only arbitrary; however the amendment insures thatthe student running for president would at least be of junior status as does the present constitution.Transfers having one year college work will have the same advantage of learning the personnelrelationship at any college. During the first three college quarters most freshmen learn to work withpeople, while the sophomores usually learn the business aspect of student government. The college hascontinued to attract larger quantities of transfer students with the years, and it will continue to do so.Giving this percentage of persons the eligibility to apply for the presidential position would contribute amore rounded realm of experience â€”different from Western Washington College. HOMECOMING ISCOM'IN: Homecoming activities are on the march from the Kick-off melodrama to the majesticpageantry of this morning's presentation assembly. Ahead of us yet are queen and princess elections,the regal conoration, rally, variety show, grand parade, the football game and the Queen's Ball. A noteconcerning the Variety Show: This will be a combination of skits and superb talents from vocal andmusical participants. Tonight you will dance to the College Dance Band at the MRH Mixer in the RecHall. Saturday night a double feature movie will play at 7 p.m. in the Auditorium. Written on the Windand the Kansas Raiders can be seen for only 15c. Following the movies, Highland Hall will hold a recorddance in its lounge. Taking your car to Central? That's Good!!

The four were delegates to the eleventhannual regional convention of The Association of College Unions, hosted this year by Oregon StateCollege. Attending panels and seminars on Union philosophy, programming and other related topics,d e l e g a t e s Joann Laulainen, George Yount, Dave Robertson and myself returned with a LASTER ^broadened concept of the roll that a Union should play on a college campus. Last week I had a nearly'green' committee' Now the whole committee is r a t t l i n g off bits of Union philosophy and theory likeold hands. We are now much better prepared for the job ahead. A great deal was gained from, contactswith the leaders in other Union programs. A PICTURE OF Western's proposed Student Union wasdisplayed in Oregon State's Memorial Union building and was received with much enthusiasm by theother delegates at the convention. Last week your Student Legislature approved placing on theHomecoming Ballot a constitutional amendment changing the eligibility requirements for the office of ASB president. The numerous views and accusations on this issue have been enough to completely garblethe basic point of the issue. By changing the requirement from six quarter's residence at Western to sixquarter's college residence, three of which must be at Western, we are allowing transfer studentsâ€”apercentage of the student body becoming larger with each additional yearâ€”to run for the office of ASBpresident. CONTRARY TO THE view indicated by the press-speaking for myself, and I believe themajority of the Legislatureâ€”the vote was cast on the merits of the proposal. Unfortunately it is probablytrue that some individual Legislators voted on this measure for purely personal reasons. I urge that whenyou vote on. this proposed amendment, the points of the issue are kept firmly in mind. The issue at handis not to further "someone's personal ambitions" or to push "some favorite candidate" as has beenindicated by various writers, but rather the question is whether or not you would like to give the transferstudent the opportunity to run for ASB President.

He was nearly a unanimous choice at a halfback slot on last year's Evergreen Conference all-star eleven, and this year is being touted as a potential Little Ail- American. Last week against PLC, Bridges personally accounted for fivetouchdowns and a total of 227 yards. HOWEVER, STOPPING Bridges doesn't mean stopping theWildcats. The Centralites have eight let-termen in backfield spots plus a number of talented transfers.The Wildcats also have eight veterans in the line, led by Rubin Rawley, Larry Maguire, and GaryFredrick. At the ends are lettermen Mike Finnigan and John Wilfong, a transfer from Everett JC. AtWestern the storm clouds of injuries have cleared, and the Viks are in the best physical condition thatthey have been in for the past five weeks. Fred Emerson, the Vikings answer to Bridges, is back in top shape and will be going at full speed for the first time in over a month, as will starting quarterback AlDeCoria. The only thing to mar the almost perfect physical condition of the Viks is the few minor bruisesof some of the Western men. BOTH TEAMS are undefeated in conference play. The Vikings havesuffered defeat only at the hands of a strong Linf ield eleven while Central's record is marred only by a27-27 tie with Humboldt State of Calif. Last week Western squeezed by UBC 20-19, while theWildcats trounced PLC by a 45-13 count. Women Intramural Sports Results THE WWCE CO-EDS areundefeated thus far having won their first game against the WWCE Alums. The game was played onSaturday, Nov. 1, at the school hockey field. The Co-eds won the game by a score of 2-1. EighteenWWCE Co?eds and fourteen WWCE Alums participated on the slippery field. Despite conditions,there were no casualties. The Co-eds were coached by Miss Margaret Ait-ken and the Alums coachedthemselves.

His voice develops a mind of its own and comes out on an altogether different frequencyfrom what he planned. His body suddenly sprawls all over the place. He is constantly bumping into,falling over and dropping things. And an unmistakable glint comes into his eye. It's that flint we areinterested In here, for it's the magic fleam that makes the world go roundâ€”and roundâ€”and round.Adam had it. Samson had it. Caesar had it. Henry VIII had itâ€”in spades. And if you're over 15, youhave it, too. No one knows how it works, but that glint has the strange power to make a coward brave, amiser extravagant, a fool wise and a sage foolish. For it marks the beginning of one of man's mostimportant activities in lifeâ€”the Great Pursuit. Of course, man has been chasing woman ever sinceAdam discovered that there were more important things in life than ribs. He has swum rivers, climbedmountains, tamed lions, written poetry, built palaces and destroyed citiesâ€”just to get a sigh ofappreciation out of some bored damsel. In reality, there are just five ways to pursue the quarry. Andhere, for the benefit of those who (Courtesy PRECIS Syndicate) TYPEWRITERS Rentals, Sales,Repairs GRIFFITH PRINTING CO. 1420 Cornwall Avenus may be stymied for the moment, they are. 1. BE SAD. This is a subtle approach which, if applied with some imagination, rarely fails. You may act atall times as if you are burdened with a great tragedy in your life. Wrinkle your brow from time to timeand practice before a mirror to achieve a brooding look. If you don't think you quite have it, study portraits of Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley. They have it. When the two of you are listening to music on theradio, turn it off suddenly and go to the window to look at the moon. If it's day time, stare at a distantobject. Try to get a crooked smile to play across your face now and then, too. Few women can resistthe challenge of trying to make you forget your "sorrow." The perfect example of the broodingpursuer is Lord Byron. He dressed in dark clothing, affected a limp bow tie and reckless forelock. Hewas always muttering poetry under his breath and sighing audibly. When asked what was wrong, heoften grew angry. So far as we know, he was actually a very happy personâ€”and a whiz with the ladies.2. BE WELL-INFORMED. Keep your eyes and ears open for amusing anecdotes about famous people;learn the order of the planets according to their distance from the sun; know who the Vice-Presidentwas under Tyler; memorize Babe Ruth's batting . averages for the years 1920-1931; and listen to quizprograms to fill the gaps in your knowledge. Thus armed, you'll feel confident under all circumstancesand talk with an air of authority: No women can resist a man of the world. Case in point: the 18thcentury gent who made it his business to be familiar with literature, music, astronomy, politics,mathematics and commerce. His nameâ€”Giovanni Giacomo Casanova. Any questions? 3. BE WELL-GBOMMED. Keep abreast of the latest in men's fashions. You'd be surprised how many women havebeen lost because the "man fouled up his color combinations, wore a bow tie with a button-downcollar, tramped about in unsigned shoes. A hot shower (then a cold), a close shave and a recenthaircut are musts, too. And while perfume for men is frowned upon in our society, you should apply aftershave lotion to the old map, too. Precedent for this approach is the 19th century sport, George BryanBrummel, better known as Beau Brummel. From Lady Broughmley's diary, Oct. 3, 1813: "Today Mr.Brummel called on us, to pay his respects to Papa. He is a beautiful man and perfection. I think I lovehim." 4. BE SKLENT. Once you learn to keep your mouth shut, you'll be amazed how your stock will goup. Even if you're bursting with information, keep it to yourself. Nod knowingly from time to time. Then, even when you don't know what's WHY WALK?

Not only was hequiet by nature, but as a silent screen star he had to make his point without words. Did it pay off? Thereare still women whose hearts leap at his magic name. 5. CONQUER AN EMPIRE. Two examples cometo mind.â€” Caesar and Napoleon. By ruling the world in which they lived, they won the ladies of theirchoice. However, one ended up assassinated, and the other in exile. Better stick to the first fourmethods. They may be slower â€” but you'll enjoy life more. Kappa Delta Pi Open to Juniors With 3.0ALL STUDENTS interested in Kappa Delta Pi are urged to consider the advantages of belonging to anational professional honor society in education.

KappaDelta Pi Meet Lebanese Student Talks of America s Near East Policy MENA GHATTAS spoke toKappa Delta Pi members at the regular meeting, Monday, Nov. 3, on the topic, "American Policy in theNear East." He pointed out that many of the problems resulting from outside interference and internaldisturbance are largely due to religious and economic problems. He pointed out the inconsistencies in the policies of the West and the general attitude of the Arabic peoples toward the United Kingdom. Tothe Arabs, said Ghettas, "Colonialism" is a very distasteful word and connotes to the Arab peoplean attitude similar to ''communism" in America. He added that Colonialism is almost synonymouswith the United Kingdom, and since the US has associated herself with â€ž Great Britain in the NearEast situation the US has inherited a certain animosity g e n e r a l ly credited to Great Britain andFrance.

' The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best .in Normal School life. It is a record of achievement. Hundreds will keep and cherish it as a memorial of some of the happiest and finest days of their life. Everyone who has a hand in the task wants this year's book to be a monumental achievement, surpassing all previous attempts—a bood that, both in appearance and contents, all subsequent generations of students may strive in vain to equal. Two hundred fifty literary and illustrated pages bound in a beautiful blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and living record of Normal activities for 1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun. Eggert Burns and Robert Caulkins, Editor and Associate respectively, may never be literary genuises but they undoubtedly will put out a Year Book that will surpass both in size and quality any Annual ever put out by the Bellingham Normal. The Klipsun is put out. not in the interest of any individual nor any certain group of individuals but for the good of all the students of this school. As has been iterated and reiterated through the columns of this paper, the publishing of the Klipsun is a costly undertaking. Every student must put his HORACE RAHSKOPF, Debate Coach.

From all reports the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1. This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision; so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position. Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency.

BLUE AND WHITE BRING BACK THE STATE TITLE The results of the four games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had participated required all their pep and consequently they could not handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17. Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23. Normal, 44; Blaine H. S., 25.

"Why do you think George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'." Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny, "but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him."

When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion.

The game was interesting but one-sided; the Alley Gang team winning from the Edens Hall team by a score of 46 to 13. Remarkable team work was shown in the winning team. The guards took advantage of every opportunity to check the ball, and the forwards seemed to merely look at the ball to make a basket. The Edens Hall team was one chosen from girls who live in Edens Hall. Their representatives were: Ethel Dow and Pearl Whitmore; guards, liable Hickson and Julia Whitmore; forwards, Molly Curtis and Emma Coffman; and one substitute, Sarah Murphy. The Alley Gang team was a picked up team of some of the best basketball players of the Normal. The team was composed of: centers, Carla La Vign and Beatrice Thomas; guards, Marjorie Morrison and Ruth Gill; forwards, Agnes Tweit and Violet Mitcliam, and one substitute, Bernice Judson. B. S. N.

They seemed to float thru the mystic ether impelled by the rythmic throb of the music. The sleek-haired gentleman glanced confidently over the moving crowd, then down at his comely partner. Demurely she smiled back at him. All eyes were upon the pair. Who could they be? Was this some famous royal pair escaped by devious paths from the clutches of the raving reds of Russia? Could it be two at whose beck and call the most graceful dancers of an emipre once performed, now forced to entertain others for a mere pittance? No, such was not the case. Could it not then be two famous danssants stopping for a pleasant moment at the Bellingham Normal? Might not that flashing eye, those graceful movements belong to Mische Itoe himself? Might not the lithe lady be none other than the- one and only Madame Pavola ? No, it was none of these, it was actually Bill McNeil and Bee Anderson, showing the grace and form which won for them the prize trot Friday. The prize trot was such a success that it has been decided to continue it. The latest thing the social committee is considering is a prize for the whole quarter. A realty worth-whle reward will be given, the opinion so far favoring a watch. Position, grace, appearance, and general conduct on the dance floor will be the deciding factors. Bill and Bee have the inside track now, so the other Valentinos and Irene Castles will have to start early and avoid the rush. NORMAL GROCERY We Cater to Normal Student Trade.

Saturday night, February 17, the Phi-lomathean club of the Bellingham Normal School, held their annual banquet in the Pheasant Tea Rooms at 0:30 o'clock. To say the least, the banquet was a wonderful success and will long be remembered as a red letter day on each Philomathean's calendar of time. The Tea Rooms were very attractively decorated in the Philo colors, green and white, boxwood shrubs, and the Philo emblem, while pussy willows, green and white streamers, and green candles decorated the long white table. The five-course banquet dinner was proclaimed ''marvelous" and ••great" by 50 hungry Philomatheans, and each did healthy justice to it. At each plate was an attractive little place card containing a booklet which held the name and program and carried out the Philo emblem. After the banquet dinner a very interesting program was given as follows : Toastmaster Herbert Cederberg Song Donna ,K1 inker "Philo Husbands" Roswell Oliver Piano Solo Dorothy Clark "Philo Wives" Mrs. Sam Carver Group of Songs Margaret Saddler "Philo Students" Robert Tunst-all Duet Dorothy Clark, Byron Payne This annual banquet given by the Philos is always attended by a large number of alumni Philos who take this opportunity to get acquainted with the new Philo members; thus establishing a stronger union and good fellowship among all of the club members.

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs. Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple, as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature, and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth while. B. S. N. S.

Greater support and co-operation from the student body was stated as one of the things needed by the social committee. The committee hopes that more students will realize that it is not a mere.go-between but a body with a very definite mission. It is not a negative group trying to tell anyone what not to do, but is a very positive group, working toward the goal of the most and best social activities possible. Under the regime of this year's social committee a great deal has been done. An unusually large number, of dances have been fostered by the committee, and some actually given under its supervision, as the Friday afternoon dances. Play hours have been provided, that all may be entertained. In every way the committee has tried to aid and further social activities of all sorts, but it is willing to admit that more might be done. The best way to get more done is by co-operation from the student body. In the matter of dance posture, the best possible spirit has been shown. There has been a ready response to all requests for what few changes in posture and style the committee has deemed it wise to ask for; but on the other hand there has been a great fault of omission. People have been heard to mumble, "Why don't we have more of this? or better of that?" But when pinned to just what they want and how it can be secured, they don't know that. That the committee is open to suggestions and will work on them is shown by the way it took up and put into effect concrete suggestions that were made for better music on Fridays and Mondays. If you really want something and have some advice to offer, see the committee. Cooperation means bigger things with less work. Give the committee a helping hand. This social committee, under whom precedent on dance events is being made wants to set a standard for future events. —V. G. L. B. S. N. S.- HOW WELL CAN YOU SPELL? You may be clever and studious but if you can't spell correctly , you are like a violinist with one of his violin strings broken. Judge Edwin S. Thomas of Hartford, Conn., gave a spelling test to several government officials, lawyers, and big business men. The test consisted of ten words in common use. These words were: Supersede, innuendo, inoculate, rarefy, vilify, repellent, plaguy, embarrass, harass, and picnicking. These are all words that one can use in ordinary conversation without getting a reputation for having digested "Webster's knowledge. Yet not one of these business men could spell all ten correctly. SEE WORTH WHILE MOVIES. Are you careful to select moving pictures that are worth seeing? A great many of your opinions and ideas are unconsciously formed as a result of the movies you select as recreation. These opinions you, consequently, impart to your friends. It is of vast importance whether or not your opinions and ideas are the right and proper kind. See pictures that will benefit you morally and mentally. See pictures that will miake you a little better. In this way, by patronizing worth-while pictures, you yourself will help censor the wrong kind of movies. B.S. N. S.

"An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water," states "Dynamite," famous endman in the W. A. A. minstrel show. Reveille Island is far more than that. It is one of the beauty spots to be seen in a trip to the head of Lake Wnatcom and it is the source of interesting tradition and probable historical facts. Reveille is situated a mile or so above Nbrmalstad and forms an added attraction to our eighty acres. Normal students will probably become very familiar with the island as the eighty becomes improved. The island rises high above the water in a betutiful dome, covered with evergreen trees and underbrush. The sides of the island slope abruptly into the lake, leaving no beach and adding to the beauty of its form. Two thrilling traditions are told of the island. Many, many years ago, when this country was first settled, by white people the Indians fought, hard for their hold on the territory. Their last stand was made upon this little island in the center of Lake Whatcom. The English soldiers besieged' the little tribe and after a plucky show of endurance, starvation threatened. The Indians, being true warriors, would not surrender and so one morning just as the sun was peeping over the surrounding hills, they silently threw themselves into the lake and sank out of sight. As the last man disappeared the sweet tones of the morning reveille floated across the still water from the English camp. The island has since borne the name of "Reveille." Over two hundred years ago the territory around Lake Whatcom was claimed by an Indian tribe as their hunting ground. Their t war-like neighbors desired this valuable ground and war ensued. The defending tribe secreted itself in the underbrush on the island. As the enemy approached in canoes some slight movement disclosed the hiding place of the Islanders. A furious fight followed, both tribes launched in canoes', sending arrows at their enemies and trying to tip their canoes. Many Indians from both sides were soon trashing around in the blood-stained Avater. Suddenly they were one and all drawn steadily under the water and their frenzied cries brought help from their friends. As they grasped the hands of their rescuers the pulling increased and the remaining canoes were capsized. One Indian alone escaped and spread the news of the dreadful undertow that surrounds the island. To this day no Indian of the Puget Sound tribes has been bribed, coaxed, threatened or persuaded in any manner to set foot in a boat on the waters of the "Devil's" Lake. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASinN^ .0/:: NormatSoto 'Mildred Boyd, Dorothy Austin,. an:l Loris Jacklin motored with friends to their homes; in Seattle for the. weekend.

Listen they are dancing now. Say girls, who wants cake when we can ese tlie faculty members enjoy themselves?" 'Come. Do'ores, I've • found a good l)iace. See, .we can turn out this hall li«ht and we can see from the ba.-k stairs window." Slowly a crowd of kimonoed girls gather around the window. "Oh, look! " We can see it all. Miss Be'ton is paying the piano." "I see Miss McDonald passing out the cake. Miss ' Shuey said- it was. devil's foo-1 and angel's food." "Oh, never mind the cake. Look!

Who is he, anyway, Prav.'e':" "Oh, T guess he's the new Prof." "Aren't they ever going? The students can't stay this late. I certainly like to watch them dance, tho." . "Say, girls, run, here conies Miss Long and Mr. Philippi with the dishes. Don't let them catch us here." They, run down the back stairs. "My, that Avas a scare; I never ran down stairs so fast in my life. Well, I guess they are going. We can get back safely tliis way.' Yes, they are going! There are on'y two couples on the floor now, aren't there? That's Dr. Miller. I believe he's just learning. He is going to stay till the last dog is hung. He certainly is human. He has a good time, doesn't he?. There, the lights are out. Let's go and see if there is anything left." " The girls quietly approach the social hall, and finding all quiet they enter the room recently so merry. "I found a valentine. I. bet it was the first prize. Whoever won it was more interested in the dance than the prize, evidently." "Is there anything in the kitchen?". "Nothing but some lump sugar." "Oh, dear, a n d ! got so hungry watch- 'n lt;r Mr. Heckman dance!" "Let's go to bed; We don't need any devil's food anyway." "Good night, ladies; Good night ladies." The crowd disperses, and quiet reigns once more. -B. S. N. S. iTUDENT LOAN FUND EXPLAINED BY DR. MILLER Few of us.ever give a thought to the Student Loan Find. In fact a surprising number of students did not know that such a fund existed, until Dr. Miller spoke of it in assembly on Monday. At present, this fvnd exceeds $17,000. and in the last year, over two hundred students have received aid. This loan is for the sole purpose of he'ping students who can not otherwise graduate, or who are in serious financial difficulties, it is not for personal convenience, and is not a scho'arship fund. To receive this loan, the student must apply to the faculty committee. After the committee has approved, the loan mav then .be obtained at the registrar's office. Money will not be loaned to pjop'c who have poor grades, when someoir: with higher grades needs the help. Students are urged to piy b gt;ck this loan as quickly as possib'e. It is nr-t necessary to return the loan in one sum. B. S. N. S.- D'uiarhter: "A certain young man sent some flowers this morning." Mother: "Don't .say 'a certain young, man,' my dear.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS DIRECT FROM OLYMPIA A bill has been introduced into the legislature which will make the state normals, four year teachers' colleges. If the bill is passed, the normals wi'l then have power to grant degrees in Bachelor of Arts and teach major lines for the professional training of teachers, school superintendents and school supervisors. They would also be able to train high school teachers. This would undoubtedly increase the enrollment thereby' add to the importance and prestige. The teachers' pension was made state wide when it was passed by the" legislature, last week. This is the same law which is in practice in some of the larger cities. B. S. N.

" While in this Chicago school of physical educaton, Miss Frank was a leader in all sports. In the fall term the girls turn out for field hockey and soccer—the teams are chosen in November and all the games are inter-class games. In the winter the girls turned out for vol-, ley ball. Miss Frank was a member of each team. Volley ball is the popular game in the east, and the American P.. E. College entered the Chicago tournament. Thirteen games were played and in each the Chicago College of Physical Education wei'e victorious, and won the gold cup trophy which was offered by the Amateur Athletic Federation. In the spring, indoor baseball, track horseback riding and swimming were the sports which Miss Frank also took; up. . An honor emblem is offered by the Chicago Physical Education college for. the two best all ''around athletes in the school. We are not surprised to learn that Miss Frank was one of the two girls winning the honor emblem.. An all around athlete, is a wonderful asset to any school and more so when they can be a guide for other girls in being all round athletes also, and we count ourselves fortunate in having Miss Frank as our assistant physical education director.

There was a superfluity of smiles and good cheer throughout their whole domain. Now, what was the meaning of all this excitement? It was for no other reason than that the pupils felt the presence of Dan Cupid flitting around the halls and in their class rooms. Dan Cupid was personified and represented by the large number of pupils who, with a mysterious letter or package in their hand would direct their footsteps to a certain large box placed upon a "pedestal" in one corner of the hallways. This "postoffice" was filled to overflowing with letters and packages sealed with red hearts the most of which bore the title "To My Valentine." What was inside of the envelopes we can only guess, but at any rate they all bore the good will and loving wishes of Dan Cupid on Valentine's Day. B. S. N.

Stanford University, Feb. 12. Hazing died a sudden death at Stanford. Tom Irwin, editor of the Daily Palo Alto, decided at the time he received his hazing when a Freshman at Stanford, that he would go on the trail of partakers of these yearly festivities or "spanking bees." On January 31, of this year, Mr. Irwin caught seven Sophomores of Erims hall red-handed. The hall was given the alternative of agreeing to abandon the traditional method of discipline and adopt a system of Senior control, or of having exa*mples made of the seven. The sophomores decided to discontinue their methods . Their decision was also followed by Sequoit hall. The Chinook, Seattle: West Seattle High is boosting for cleanliness and asks: "What do you do with your wastepaper ?" "'What do you do with the papers when you clean out your lockers?" " Do you leave them lying around or do you put them away." We can honestly say that our halls, locker rooms are respectable as far as cleanliness is concerned and hope to keep them that way. The Ocean Breeze, Aberdeen: The editor comments upon success being achieved only by work. A great personality or a strong will power will not gain success for you unless you back up either of these two qualities with hard work. A person who may lack a strong personality and who is very meek may rise into the limelight if he works. Too many people are afraid of their tasks and shirk doing them. And according to the editorial if you are one of the latter join Coue's followers and say to yourself every morning, "I like Work." ' B. S. JST. S. The Right Size. It is said that once, when President Washing-ton was riding near Washington City, with a party of gentlemen, their horses leaped a rock fence: the last steed over kicked off several stones. "Better replace those," suggested the general. "Oh, someone will do that!" was the careless reply. When the riding party disbanded, Washington turned his horse, and rode back the way they had come; dismounting, he carefully replaced the stones. "Oh, general!" chattered a friend who came along, "you are too big to be doing that!" "Oh, no," replied Washington, as he stood gravely inspecting his work. "I am just the right size."

Special Sunday Evening Dinner $1.25 BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE DISCUSS GIRLS' FINANCES An enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday, February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c, nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II. Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5. (Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1) $2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10. Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls.

The Alkisiah club banquet, which was held at the Hotel Leopold Friday evening, was voted a complete success by all members present. Covers were laid for forty-five.' A color scheme of purple and gold the club colors, was effectively carried out KILAUEA Speaking of Dante's "Inferno," Mrs. Bunting thinks she has had a glimpse of it. To standupon a narrow ledge one hundred feet above a steaming cauldron of fiery red molten lava, is a thrilling experience, but—it is at the same time terrible in its awful beauty. At least Mrs. Bunting so discovered when she watched, fascinated, the seething lava of (Kilauea volcano on the largest island of the Hawaiian group, steadily rise until it overflowed the mouth of the pit. As you probably know, lava in the molten stage, flows with about the same consistency- as -molasses: conse quentlv, one can back up before it. "However," laughed Mrs. Buntiny, "one usuallv keeps a respectful distance. You know.' it's really hot." At frequent intervals fountains of fire caused by currents, send spouts like sky rockets into the air. thus causing the most brilliant fireworks and giving an intense and lurid glow sometimes as high as one mile above the crater. It was upon April 3. 1921,' that Mrs. Bunting, with a small party, visited Kilauea volcano. Arrivinsr at noon they found the lava about one hundred feet below the narrow ledge upon Avhich they first ventured out to look down into that turmoil of moving lava. It rose steadily until it had overflowed the rim bv one mile at two o'clock in the morn-ing. "Then." said Mrs. Bunting, "we left, only to find in the morning that the flow had covered two and one-half miles and had reached the foot of the cliff, upon which stood the volcano house or inn. According to Professor Jaeger, the voleanolosrist who lives there, it was the highest and most rapid recorded rise in fortv years." As the fiery cataract flows out. ser-pertine and irregular, from its crater, the lava glowed darkly red thru the crust formed bv the contact with cooler air. The horrible beauty of this molten river was further accentuated by the strong and suffocating gases escaping with a hissing murmur from the lava pit and thru the chasms of the mountain. Upon the lake of fire float two detached islands used, much as a guage. to measure the rise and fall of the lava. These islands, it is said, made their appearance in a most unique way. Without apparent reason the two shot up from the depths of the lava, and since have remained. One of the islands has with daffodils and tulle. The favors were tiny purple booklets filled with candies. May Phinney acted as toastmistress. The program of the evening consisted of toasts on the club traditions. Several musical selections were also given. a cone-like cave resembling the mouth of a whale. When currents from different directions run into the cave, it seems as if the wnale cannot swallow so spurts out the lava with the most orilliant gushes. The HaAvaiians have a beautiful myth woven about .the volcano. Acordingc to the earliest legends, Pele (Pili), the goddess of fire. dAvells here. When she is happiest the gloAV above the volcano is brightest and the lava is the highest. About the volcano is found Pele's hair. Clinging to rocks about the mountain it resembles spun glass, and is the result of molten lava blown and hardened by the Avind. Legends further relate how the small, bright stones found here and there in the lava are Pele's tears. They are of topaz color and when hard enough are used for jewels. "When Ave Avent up the mountain to the pit," said Mrs. Bunting. "Ave passed over a Avell-marked trail OArer the old lava, called pahoehoe, but Ave did not return the same wav for the simple reason that we couldn't. NeAv lava (aa) had completely covered the trail and since the crusted surface Avas not' quar-anteed to remain surface if a step Avere taken upon it, Ave returned bv auto road, a detour of seven miles, to the inn."

FRESHMEN WIN KLINE CUP GAME (Continued from Page One) first /Kline Cup game. The Sophomores hold the cup at present, so it was with blood boiling that the Freshies entered the game. From the first toss-up the spectators knew that it was to be a hard fought game. At the close of the first quarter the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of the Sophs. During the second quarter the Freshies tried to make up the two scores of the previous quarter but failed. By the end of the half the score was 16 to 14 still in favor of the Sophomores. During the intermission of halves, however, the Freshies were revived or perhaps they were just getting warmed up, for by the close of the third quarter they; held the highest score, 24 to 18. . Too; much credit could not be given Agnes Tweit for her creditable playing. "Aggie" seemed to have laid a charm over the ball and basket; so rapidly did she run up the score during the latter part of the third quarter. The Sophomores did some notable team work during the last quarter, their star being Mollie Curtis. But for all the attempts they could not cover up the lost scores and the game ended with a final score of 29 to 24 in favor of the Freshmen.

It was such a charming fringe, and it swung so tantalizingly out of his reach. Of course there was a vase periously near the edge of the .table, but that was of little consequence. The frisky cat cavorted wildly around the room, trying to make the fringe forget him and look the other way. Then with a quick lunge, he grabbed it! Down came the table runner. Crash! went the vase.

ELECIED PRESIDENT OF OTHER OFFICERS ARE ELECTED FOR SEMESTER The meeting for the election of Senior class officers was held last Wednesday morning at the .scheduled hour, with Mrs. Edna Anstett acting as chairman The constitution and by-laws were presented by Marian Collier, and voted upon by the class. Resignations of nominees, having been presented for the offices of President and Secretary, made it necessary for an informal ballot to' l gt;e. cast. The following officers were then elected by majority vote: President—Donna Klinckcr. Vice President—Pearl Stroughton. Secretary—Ralph Miller. Reporter—Margaret Spaight. A very poor record of attendance was shown. Considering the number of Seniors enrolled, a greater active interest should be displayed toward class affairs: It may be emphasized that the boys aren't so scarce that they need all be excused from attendance. If you are a Senior, pull for your class. Don't let the other feiiow do it. Co-operate, and by so doing, help both yourself and the class of which you are M'COMAS ELECIED PRESIDENT OF 1HE a. member. BIG MIXER TO BE HELD ON NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT The Juniors have started Liu year auspiciously by electing a splendid corps of officers for this first seni lt;ester. Sian-ley McComas heads the list for president; Blanche Davey was chosen vice president; Katherine Meyers will tike charge of the work of secretary, while Ff.hel Ashley will serve as treasurer. With these efficient officers the Juniors are starting off with a vim, by announcing a mixer for Saturday night. Proceeding the election of officers, a lively and entertaining program was on-joyed: Songs l gt;v Junior Trio Ethel Ashley, Helen Gadc, Veda Morfat Reading, "At Dancing School" Robert Caulkins Song "Everybody Calls Me Honey".... Mildred Byies B. S. N. S. The Y. W. C. A. was very fortunate Thursday in having Dr. Louis Sperry Chafer give one of his inspiring Bible talks. Dr. Chafer took for his theme the three classes of man: The Natural, Spiritual and Incarnate. Under one of these classes everyone has his place. He emphasized that to attain one's greatest ideal one should belong to the spiritual. All derived great benefit from this spiritual talk. EXCITING GAME BIG GAME SET FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON In a short practice game with Fair-haven high school last Tuesday, the Normal team easily defeated the South Side lads 34 to 0. Handicapped by a loss of several men and by a lack of a heavy line, the South Siders had no chance to score, altho several times they threatened the Normal goal. The game • altho of but half, regular length, was slow, clue to the fact that the Normal punched many holes in the South Siders' line. However, tomorrow will do much to show standard of Sam Carver's team Tomorrow, Saturday. Oct. 15, our team will lock horns with Sedro-Woollev and inasmuch as (hey have an exceptionally good team, the results probably will be very different. Sedro-Woolley lias practically an old team, one that has played together for two years and probably will play an open game, passes and many end runs. They easily handled Blaine, who in turn beat Whatcom, and altho Woolley had several men mutilated temporarily, they are on their feet again with a fighting team. If the Normal wins, it will be by no lopsided score. Paul Rairdon, who has been playing tackle, has been sick and it is doubtful whether or not he will play at Woolley. Ga as land and Fisher, halves, are both somewhat crippled. Quinn, with a "bum" hand, and "Gazzy" with a, bad "Charley horse" in the muscles of his leg.

Mr. Thomson possesses a sterling quality as a speaker and with his eloquent voice he gave tuis selection as none other than a master. MONDAY—Oct. 10. Everyone be careful about attendance at assemblies, for roll is now being taken, and an absence there is just as serious an offense as at any other class. Mr. Coughlin spoke to us on organization and prevention of "Fire," giving us statistics that would appal the average person—we are literally burning up our future, he says. These are the bel! signals in case of fire: 1 bell will ring for drill; 2 bells will mean tbe location of the. fire is in the Science Annex; -i bells, in the Main building; 4 bells, in the Training School; and 2 long bells will signal time for return to the building. Everyone take, heed to these signals. At this assembly Mr. Thompson again favored us with a selection entitled: "'America the Beautiful." WEDNESDAY-Oct. 12. After a lew important announcements by Dr. Nash, we were given the opportunity of hearing Mr. Harrison, of Seattle, sing. Mr. Harrison possesses a right, high base voice, and iiis selections were especially pleasing. Mr. Harrison is a relative of Mrs. Thatcher and Mrs. Harrison, his wife and accompanist, was a former Normal girl, so there was an immediate bond of friendship between them and us.

All of these will be a source of much interest and benefit. The Music club has an orchestra of five violins and a piano. This ambitious orchestra will help regularly with ' the Wednesday Assembly programs in the Training School, and seive at other times when called upon. The Junior High School students enjoyed very much hearing Mr. Thompson give John Drinkwaler's "Abraham Lincoln," and Longfellow's Hiawatha. The Columbus Dav program was held the 12th of October, in the main Assembly hall. Over thirty slides were shown, depicting scenes in the life of Columbus. Talks were given by different pupils as slides were shown.' Orchestra selections concluded the program. The 7A Science class went on a field trip Monday afternoon. The SB Arithmetic class has opened a bank. Different members of the class represent the various business concerns, such as. a grocery store, a dry goods store, a lumber mill, and others. One is a cattle dealer, one a farmer, one a real estate dealer, and one an automobile agent. There is a great deal of rivalry among the different concerns to secure business. The real estate dealer IIMS opened a new addition on the hill south of the Normal and is selling lots at the fabulously low price of $1,000 a lot. 'Pupils are learning to fill out deposit slips, make checks, borrow money and other necessary details. A visit to a local bank proved very instructive. Some very creditable and artistic posters may be seen on the walls in the lower halls, made by the primary grades. They are worthy of inspection. The primary classes also are preparing the bulbs for planting. They put them away in the dark and will bring them out in time for Christmas blossoming.

Wenz Exchange — Olga Brotnov Cinb Kditor Austin Dobsou, who probably more 1 ban any contemporary poet, brought back to us the charms of Ihc ISl.h century, died last month in London. AVe feel this little poem of his, " I n After Days*' not only beautiful in itself, but inspired by an ideal we all appreciate. IN AFTER DAYS. In after days when grasses high O'er top the stones where I shall lie. Though ill or well the world adjust My slender claim to honored dust, I shall not question or reply. I shall not see the morning sky; I shall not hear the night-wind sigh; I shall be mute, as all men must In after days. 8 But yet. now living, fain would I That some one then should testify, Raying—"Tie bold his pen in trust To Art, not serving shame, .or lust." Will none? Then let memory die. In after days. —Austin Dobson. B. S. N. S. INCENTIVE FOR STUDENTS. Edward A. Thompson! Iiis name is an incentive to greater achievement! Indeed the story of Mr. Thompson's life is very inspirational, for he has risen so far above his affliction 1hat he is known as one of the foremost platform speakers of America. Mr. Thompson lost his eyesight shortly after his college days were over. At the time when this great misfortune overtook him, Mr. Thompson was studying to be a singer, but finding his inability to read notes a serious handicap to his success in the realm of music, he began the study of reading. Our hope, of distinction and success is born anew by meditating on the record of this marvelous man. "Lives of great men, all remind us, We can make our lives sublime." How many of us only put.forth a mediocre effort and are content with the development of perhaps 40% of our inherent possibilities. Even in normals and universities the. percentage of students who carry subjects primarily for credit and are satisfied with barely passing grades is appallingly large. Surely the ideals and s'andards of attainment of this class of students are not very high. Their idea evidently is to just "get b y . " Of course, we must, have a certain number of credits to be Juniors and Seniors and lo graduate, but should not our primary aim be self-development to the fullest possible extent and should not our studies serve as a means in attaining this worthy end? If self-development is our aim we shall not confine our study of mathematics, for instance, to the text book but shall delve, if time permits, into all phases of mathematics as a subject. Again, we shall not study primarily for diplomas, but to become strong teachers. First, seek self-development, and secondly, credits and grades. PEP Are you school spirited ? Is our student body, as a whole, school spirited ? The school spirit of any school is only the composite of the school spirit displayed by each indivchial student. Don't forget that " a chain is no stronger than i t ' s weakest link." What are you doing to the school spirit of Bellingham Normal? x\re you making it finer and stronger or you weakening the Normals' school spirit? There is only room in Bellingham Normal for students who are school spirited—who have 'pep' and. lots of it. Be that kind of a student! Put your school first and leave Bellingham feeling that the Normal is just a little better because of your influence and the support you accorded student activities while here. This season the Normal has a football team for the first time in years, o you thoroughly appreciate this fact? If you do you will come out and root for the team at the game Saturday.

If so, the Normal Cafeteria has its place in the hearts of many, for figures show that during the summer quarter 175 to 200 persons were served daily. This quarter 125 to 200 are taking their noon meal iTicre. Due to the lowering of prices on certain food stuffs our cafeteria is able to serve food at remarkably low figures. Soups, pies and salads are examples of this. The insufficient stove space has been remedied thru the purchase of a new hotel range. From the following menu, one may gain an idea of the variety of dishes and prices of our cafeteria: Cream tomato soup 5c Creamed chipped beef 10c Baked potatoes oc Creamed carrots and peas 5c Scalloped corn 5e String beans 5c Sliced tomatoes 5c Sliced cucumbers 5c Sweet pickles lc Cheese 3c Fresh rolls, 3c; 2 for 5c Plain broad and butter, 3c; 2 for 5c Raisin bread and butter 3c; 2 for 5c Apple pie 5c Cream pie 5c 'rune pie oc Prune sauce 5c Doughnuts 3c; 2 for 5c Tee cream 5c Coffee, cocoa, milk 5c Candy liars may be obtained from ;) a. in. to 3 p. in., and ice cream may generally be had during the afternoon. The cafeteria is glad to order supplies for school parties or club .affairs. Supplies ordered through the cafeteria can be secured at lower figures than when bought retail. gt; On rainy days the waiting line is always longer and the cafeteria folk plan accordingly. It takes from 15 to 20 minutes to serve the ordinary line, but the Normal line is by no means an ordinary one. This line presents a fine opportunity for the study of certain phases of human nature and individuality. The difference in tastes, manners and customs is amazing. Much credit is due Mrs. Richards for her well seasoned soups, and homelike pies and cakes. Our cafeteria is self-supporting. Your co-operation will keep it so. It is under the able management of the Home Economics department. B. S. N. S. There arc only three stages of life in the English 1!) class.

Just browsing around is-poor policy; one never gets anywhere or knows the value of what he does get. The very best way to glean a general knowledge of books and of library usage, a necessary a set to every teacher. is to spend a litile time with each classification. This week's topic is Biography. Why should we read biography? Most of us have the idea that it's dry, hard to read, ancient; but that's the wrong impression. Why, just the other day .1 finished the biography of Jane Austin, English authoress, who became famous early in life; and it was better than fiction. To know something of the in timacies of another person's life, his trials, aims, and achievements, is to be inspired and encouraged. The best biographies are usually written by those, who esteem their subjects very hignly. Loekhart loved Sir Waiter Scott; Bos-well idealized Johnson. To read the life of one whose aims were similar to ours is to find a new frioMcl, and it is impossible to hnve too many such friends. It must be remembered also that the term "biography" includes many delightful informal letters full of the writer's personalities and containing interesting incidents of everyday life. Nearly one thousand lives are represented in our library by letters and autobiographies. The following list is especially selected for its value, interest, and variety, and is heartily recommended to everyone. The life of Thomas Edison, the most '•useful" man living in the world at the p?-esenfc time. A Life of Caviour, Italian patriot. St. Francis of Assisi. E. Grcig, the. great musician whose life was so full of purpose and sincerity. Abraham Lincoln, by Ida Tarbell. Don't finish this year without delving a little deeper into the life of this beloved leader. The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer. You students who suffer over lesson plans, take heart, for by striving and thro love of striving Alice Freeman Palmer when very young became president of YVt'llesley college. Life of Roosevelt. A timely book, of the vigor and simplicity of the great statesman. 1 A life of Helen Keeler. Booker T. Washington, the great negro leader. The Education of Henry Adams. One of the biographies that has caused moie comment than anv other of the present day. The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson. The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Life of Jane Austin. Sir Walter Scott, by Loekhart. Boswell's Life of Johnson. Head the many posters in the library which explain the ten definite calssifiecV Lions into which the books are divided and know tne general grouping of the subject matter. Jn seeking books, remember that reference books and bio graph y are to be found in north room, magazines and periodicals in the south room, and all others in the middle room. Next week's? topic will be Art. A "new book" shelf will be placed in the library soon," opposite the charge desk, and will contain the very latest additions to the library. Posters above the shelf will contain information. A miscellaneous reading list, from time to time, will be recommended by different members of the faculty. The books so recommended will be entirely Small can Log Cabin Maple Syrup 25c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 G-arden Street, Near Oak outside of any course of study in any department. The following new books ought to give anyone a bigger and more sympathetic understanding of life: Miss Edens: Casuals of the Sea, by William McFee. A sea story with a big appeal. Smoke and Steel, Poems of Chicago, by Carl Sandburg. Letters of William James, Harvard psychologist. Miss Montgomery: Romance of Leonardo de Vinci, by Freud. Ten years were spent in compiling the facts herein given, and they accurately represent the life and spirit of the 15th and 10th centuries.

EXPERIENCES TEACHING IN THE DISTRICT SCHOOL A very interesting letter has been received by Miss Wilson, from Margaret Stapleton, in regards to her teaching "The last three weeks," states Miss Stapleton, "have been the busiest, most interesting, and most novel that I have ever experienced." Situated in the hilly wilds of Cowlitz county, near Pigeon Springs, is a little, old fashioned, twelve pupil school, where Miss Stapleton is teacher—and community leader. Th'e ittle school is on the other isde of the Kalamath river, and at present is access-able only by crossing the river on a foot log. However, when the rainy season ensues, it will be necessary to cross the river in a "hanging bird cage" suspended on a pulley and rope. The school itself is fairly well equipped, with exception to the library, which is composed chiefly of abandoned high school texts, piled in an old fashioned book case, in a very prominent part of the room. Due to Miss Stapleton's initiative, borrowed books will be procured from the T acorn a Public Library, and the State Traveling Library. The "teacher's quarters" are rather unique, tlio perhaps not to be appreciated. The boarding place is a three-room log cabin, in a rugged, partially cleared valley. Tho very clean, the three-room house is shared by a family of five, besides the teacher. Altho the community takes an active interest m activities Miss Staple-ton remarks that she feels, "like an alien on foreign soil" as the people are nearly all Finns, and speak little English. Miss Stapleton enjoys her teaching more than any previous experience and enjoys life in the country. Vet, our former student misses Be'lingham Normal. Many of Margaret Stapleton's friends will be glad to hear that she is planning on returning to B. S. N. S next summer. B. S. N. S. Teacher—Cecil, compare the adjective, sick.

One buoyant Freshman was heard to ask if that was the committee that was the committee that handed out scholarships at the end of the year. It has nothing to do with the awarding of scholarships to the particularly deserving; rather, it concerns itself with the student who is falling behind in his work.. The members of the con.miUee arc: Miss Cummins, chairman; Mits Bell and Mr. Rakgkopf. The purpose of tins committee is to study the relation of the student to his grade standings. It is to see that students do not overload, and that grades are kept up to a certain standard. Another duty is to supervise the • standing of the athletic teams. In order that one team may have as high a standing as another it is requisite that only students of certain grade standards be admitted to the basketball, .baseball and football teams. This applies to either the boys' or girls' track teams, and also debate. In fact, any team representing school activities falls under this requ.is.ite. Thus it is not to grai.t scholarships, but to uphold a higli standard of scholarship that this committee is appointed and its members are at work. -B. S. N. » . — OUR "HELLO" DAYS.

Such beautiful blue and white wooly blankets piled everywhere, just waiting, it seemed, to cuddle a weary chilly yhv per; and pillows, quantities of them, inviting the drowsy head, brand new chairs, there were too, and crockery. Towels draped themselves here and there.- Several rugs were on display. There may have hem curtains curious vases, stands, pictures, and many other interesting things; but one quick glance thru a partly open door could but give a bare survey. There were people iu the faculty room, also, who seemed to be fingering the wares spread by the bazaar before them- and c-hatl ing affably, no doubt, over the prices and values. One could never guess the real meaning of it all. It lt;nul to do with the furnishings for the new dormitory.

Beginning with a nucleus of $400, donated by the graduating class of 1004, thft fund has constantly grown until at present $10,000 is at the disposal of Dr. Niisn and a faculty committee to loan to deserving students. Practically all of that amount is in use now. The Unit any student may draw ia $200. Mr. Allen, of Seattle, has proved himself a friend indeed, to many prospective teachers, as at two different occasions he has given generously to the Loan Fund, on the stipulation flint the sum he donated would he equalled by other conti ibutions. The faculty also have given freely to this fund. Letters received by the school from students who have made use of the Loan Fund show with what appreciation and gratitude these loans are received.

Miss Sperry returned Monday from Teacher's Institutes in Grant and Harney counties. The institutes were held in Canyon City and Burns,, Oregon. The program was very interesting, and Miss Sperry enjoyed every part of her trip Among those who helped make the Institute such a success were: W. M. Smith, assistant state superintendent; Professor F. L. Stetson, of the University of Oregon; Professor E. D. Kesseier, of the Oregon Agricultural college, and Miss Gertrude Lyons, superintendent of Grant county. Miss Lyons will be remembered here as a graduate of 'IS. She is doing splendid work in her field. Miss Sperry met several other Normal students at Canyon City, among them, Mrs. Von, of the class of 'I."), who is now head of the English department at the .Maker City high school; Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker Gunthcr, of the class of 1909, and Miss Pauline Paulson, of Mo. The country in which Miss Sperry visited is one of great opportunity and great possibilities. There are good schools and hard working, appreciative teachers. The great drawback is the irrigation problem. Canyon City is an old gold mining center, and was at one time the largest city in Oregon. ITarney county is the largest county in the United States, being nearly 200 miles long and comprises 00 million acres of land. " Miss Sperry drove by auto from Canyon City to Burns, a 70 mile trip, and from Burns to Bend, a 150 mile trip, thru desert and sagebrush. These cities are without railway connection and the stretches of country between these points present a touch of the real "wild west," with its picturesque barrencss and promising future. B. S. N.

IS LEADS IN COMMUNITY SINGING Mr. Coughlin returns to us, brimming over with enthusiasm about the institute work accomplished at Goklcndale, Klickitat County, October 3 and 4, where he was one of the leaders. Following the Portland route, Mr. Coughlin viewed the wonderlands of the Columbia. From Maryhill the trip was completed by stages. By route of the. main highway, the stage crept up the snake-like switchback, with a 5 percent grade to an altitude of 1G00 feet, the top of the .'Klickitat Plateau. From this point the view was most interesting, including four great mountain peaks of the northwest, M.ts. Adams, Hood, Rainier and St. Helens. Arriving at Goldendale the party was cordially received. Mr. Coughlin reports having seen many former students of Bellingliam Normal at the institute.

The appeal of the institute was mainly thru visualization. - A great number of stereoptican slides, depicting nature, were shown; and there also was a motion picture demonstration. Prof. Coughlin introduced community singing, in which he was ably assisted by a former Normal student. At first it was practically impossible to get the audience in a responsive mood. None of the songs that usually gather enthusiasm seemed to rouse the audience. Finally, when the leader was about to give up hopes, succumbing to desperate needs, he announced that anyone seen not singing the song "Howdy" and shaking hands with those on cither side of him would be considered as a "poor sport, and" said Mr. Coughlin, "such a shaking of hands and such a friendly spirit that arose, you never saw in your life!" There was a big gathering of fomrer Normal students, who wanted to know-all about the Normal, and about prospects for summer school. Mr. Coughlin visited two schools, conducted by former Normal students. They took him all around the country, and he reports it to be a great land for harvesting wheat. There are large crops this year and much fruit. In fact, every- Small picnic Shoulders, per lb 16c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 Garden Street, Near Oak thing points to a fine season, except the prices, which are very low.

Out into the deep waters of the channel it glided, pushing aside the water gently, guided by the bare brown arm of our moody boatsman. Further out it dared until the rythni of its swaying lulled us into a musing dream, and the shadowy white walls behind receded into darkened haze. The city of Venice was at rest. Its people, its boats, its sights and sounds were asleep. It seemed as if the mellow darkness of the night were a masterful being that barkened the noises and soothed the people into dreams; that arranged the strange silence, so full of tremulous whispers; that called to the fairies, beckoning and inviting them to play. The fairies he called were the moonbeam fairies and the fairies of the water —ail .the fairies of the night time. Shadow sprites came and danced at the edges of the water. We saw them flicker and wave and grow. They crowded into the corners; they covered the walls and houses with warm protecting arms. But the moonbeam dancers were all around us, in the open on the water. Our followers, they swayed and trembled and gleamed, lighting up the surface. Their dance was not dumb; it was full of song and light laughter, but the singing and the laughter were stilled. The water fairies we could not see at once, but we felt their presence and heard their hushed chant. Murmur low, liuir mur low! It rose and fell, grew and died. They chose the tiniest moonbeams for their partners and twinkled in and out of the water in merry circles. 13. S. NT. S .— DER STYLE AND BUSINESS.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24. IS YELL LEADER Angus Bowmer is our new yell leader. He was appointed by the Board of Control. Monday, and was authorized to choose his assistant. Mr. Bowmer was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dubois Rhine. As acting yell leader, Mr. Bowmer exercised his ability at the games last Friday and Saturday. After witnessing his antics there, everyone felt confident that he will successfully conduct the yelling end of the games during our basketball season. B. S. N. S. NOTICE, STUDENTS!

E To Bellingham: We wish to thank the Bellingham students and express our appreciation for the entertainment provided us during our stay.

We wish to thank all of those who contributed to our excellent time and we promise to do everything we can to give your team the same sort of a welcome when they come to Ellensburg. B. S. N. S. All indications seem to prove that the Seattle club dance will be the greatest social affair of the quarter. Contrary to the usual manner the girls are arranging the programs for the dance.

Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night.

D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well • as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges; California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,'' said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash.

The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N. hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys. Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars. Let's show Cheney a real live bunch of considerate car owners. % —V. G. B. S. N. S. Have you thought about buying a Klipsun? If not, why not? It is high time you began to give this matter some consideration. Only a few days ago the Business Manager of the 1923 Klipsun was heard to remark that in former years there has always been a large portion of the student body, usually Freshmen, who never make an attempt to obtain a copy of the Klipsun. Are you in this class f Soliciting of student Klipsun orders will be made by the management early in February. With this warning, there should be plenty of time left for the majority of students to accumulate the necessary two dollars and a half. The Klipsun staff are putting their best efforts into the successful completion of the Klipsun, and the Business Manager is laboring manfully on the many financial problems involved in its publication. However, your support is needed to make the annual a fiinancial success. Are you going to pay up? • —B. S. N. S. GIRLS' ATHLETICS. Comments have been heard right and left upon the game Saturday evening between the Whatcom and Fairhaven Girls' Alumni team. Why not have more such enjoyable games? If Normal had a girl's basketball team thrilling games with other schools might often be added as an attraction to the boys' games. While you are thinking, talking, hoping and praying: "New Gymnasium," why not keep up interest thru a girls' school team in basketball! —V. M. IDYLS OF THE KING NO. 6 I. DE SCRIBE. Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away.

O. Holland gave an address on "'How to Do Well in Your College Studies" as an aid for the students of the State College of Washington in their subjects. Because of its commendable qualities it has been printed in "School Life," and "The Cougar," and it is now passed on to normal students who may find some worthy advise. "If you want to do' well in your college studies, you must begin well, you must be sure to master thoroughly the daily tasks assigned to you during the first four weeks of the freshman year. If you can get the first month's assignments in all your studies so tint t'ir-y are a real part of your knowledge t'nil thinking, you wave taken the first great step toward success and happiness in your college career. "The first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can. It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work. Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions, dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I "At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-' mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually, could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor: or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail. An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when | you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one difficult or attractive subject and neglect others. Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later. Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it disturbs others) with moving lips. "Sometimes writing out the statement or statistics to be learned while saying them aloud, helps fix them in mind. Fifth—Be Interested. "Forget that you are working for your instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently, see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a. sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater. You have as good a mind as your fellows. You can make a good record, or better. It depends on your method of study and vour Will. B. S. N. S. ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation; and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession, however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him. "Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT. S. GIVE 'EM A CHEER! Give 'em a cheer! Who?

The reports indicate that the Hyaks outfought and outplayed Bellingham but their shooting eyes were not functioning at their best. The score of the first game was 25 to 16, and of the second game 32 to 18. Full details were not given in the wire, but we know the boys played up to their limit. Our hope now rests in revenge and all efforts must be turned to treating Bellingham in a similar manner when they come down here.—Ellensburg Student Opinion. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23, 1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts. "Hoping that 1!)23 may be the best year the Bellingham Normal has ever had, I am Sincerely, ALBERT W. C HERRE, Chief, Division of Fisheries, Bureau of Science. B. S. N. S. Freshman Play.

Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say!

Foley. "Hello!" Doesn't take but a minute A quick little friendly word. By some seems to have never been heard. Some folks, when they meet on the campus Pass by; without nod or a smile. I think to boost our school spirit They should practice "hello" for awhile.

Julia E. Whitmore. B. S. N. S. - Dr. Miller Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr. Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country. Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance, originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as "slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900 than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind, but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South. They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers' college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr. Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect. But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules.

It is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange. Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the same as a week night. —North Bend Eclipse. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET A.

Miss Moffat sat by the fire with the "Weekly Messenger" in her hand, opened at "Club Notes." She put on her glasses and read: January—192G. The Alkisiah Club motored over, to their club house at Normal stad, in their Alkisiah Club touring car, last Thursday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country. After the business meeting a program was given, then the girls spent the remainder of the evening toasting marsh-mallows before the large open fireplace, and playing games. . ' Miss Moffat folded the paper, took off her glasses, and glanced out of the window. "Let us then be up and doing with a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursueing, learn to labor and to wait." She smiled to herself and caressed the paper. B. S. N. S. — THESPIAxio.

The defeated teams will treat both clubs to refreshments, so there is one thing to look forward to, no matter who wins. It has been decided that February 22 is to be the date for the Annual Thespian banquet, so Washington's birthday anniversary is to have an added significance. •' The business meeting finally concluded, a splendid play was presented. Everyone played his part so well that we could hardly realize that they were not who they were pretending to be. "The Dear Departed" was the title of the play and the east consisted of Mr. Slater, Dewey Boman; Mrs. Slater, Madeline Temple. B. S. N. S. OHIYESA NOTES.

NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals. Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and present Normal students.

B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game. From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy, wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward. But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers, the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A. members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S. Heard in Typewriting Class.

Ellensburg has great expectations for a championship basketball team, as her squad is composed of some of the best basketball material in the state. State Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State Normal School" at Cheney. They believe that if it is known or spoken of as Cheney Normal, that it is implying a false condition, for it is not a local but a State Normal. They desire to have the proper name used.

CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by the applause rendered after each selection.

Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics. The support of the student body will not only encourage the members of the team, but will also be beneficial to the school.

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20.

Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region.

She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

Cecelie MacDonald Shirley Blake Nelson Robinson Leslie Brown " The Spring Supplement number of the W e e k l y Messenger is now in your hands. We hope you will like it. This special number is published not so much for the Normal students as it is for high school seniors throughout the Northwest who might be interested in coming here. M a r y Hibner, special supplement editor,.deserves much praise for Ker efforts in making this y e a r ' s issue a success. She gave unstintingly of. h e r time a n d efforts to place a first class paper in our hands. We believe s h e , h a s succeeded. •ft. Miss Hibner has been ably assisted by Theo. Norby, regular sports editor. The spirit manifested by these two students has meant much to the other members of the journalism classes. A recent canvas among students of our course in Civilization brought out the s t a r t l i n g fact t h a t less than n per cent are keeping abreast of theHhnes, less t h a n ten per cent are keeping-viri touch with the major topics o f \ t h e clay. This .condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China, Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers. The library with its scores of weekly and monthly magazines, is a regular gold mine of worthwhile contemporary information.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon.

The Western Front June 1,1990 /Volume 82, Number ^ ^Former custodian wins sexual harassment suit By Derek Dujardin staff reporter A jury awarded $75,000Friday to former Western custodian Kim-berly Abbott for a sexual-harassment suit against the university. While employed by Western from 1986-88, Abbott claimed to have suffered sexual harassment from her supervisor, Gary E. Smith, who allegedly touched her repeatedly in unwelcomed ways. Abbott latercomplained to Smith's supervisors who allegedly did little to curtail the harassment. During the trial,Abbott's attorney David Summers proved harassment took place, but was unable to prove Smithguilty of harassment. Summers also could not prove any other supervisor used demeaning jobevaluations in retaliation against Abbott for complaining, the jury found. Assistant Attorney General JonFerguson said he wasnt sure if the university would appeal. "There are a lot of things to look at andconsider," he said. Smith, 49, said he feels great now the trial is over. "I think the law is a good law, but it can be used as a political weapon against somebody," he said. In retrospect, Smith said he wouldhave requested an internal investigation as soon as the allegations were made against him. Kay Rich,director of university residences, said most of the accusations were made when the guidelinesconcerning sexual harassment of employees were in their infancy. Yet, the jury judged the evidenceusing contemporary sexual harassment standards that didn't exist in 1986. The $75,000 is only half ofthe $ 150,000 Summers requested, but he said he was happy with the verdict and the thoughtfulness the jury used in deciding. The final bill to Western may be much higher than the $75,000 award. The lawconcerning sexual harassment of a Washington state employee, entitles the employee to have alllawyer's fees and court costs paid for by die defendant. The combined fees of the Attorney General,Summers, court costs and expenses could total $110,000 to $115,000. SA committee decides budget By Bruce Halabisky staff reporter After nine months of debate, the Services and Activities committeedecided last Friday to carry over the same budget percentage split between the Associated Students, theDepartmentally Related Activities Council and Housing and Dining as last year. Two alternative proposals â€” one calling for a reduction in Housing and Dining's percentage and the other proposing thepercentages stay the same, but $10,000 be set aside for the Ethnic Student Centerâ€” were voted downby the committee. AS President Kent Thoelke's idea of reducing Housing and Dining's percentage toobtain the necessary AS funds for the proposed Ethnic Students Center next year was criticized by Roger Oettli, business manager for university residences. "We have two major revenue streams, one is student rent and one is SA fees," Oettli said. "If one revenue stream is affected then we have to make up for itin the other. We may have to look at catting some of the equipment at KUGS, we may have to look atcutting some of the equipment at Lakewood or we may have to raise student rent."

Stanton Jr., 21, died from head injuries in a motorcycle accident Friday, May 25. Stanton,the son of James Stanton of Kirkland and Barbara Stanton of Mount Vernon, was a junior majoringin environmental economics. Stanton was heading southbound on Chuckanut Drive when he entered thenorthbound lane while taking a corner. Witnesses said Stanton was forced to swerve when heencountered a northbound car driven by a Western student on a geology field trip. Stanton lost control, hit a natural rock ledge and died immediately from head injuries, police reports said.

Greg Anderton, AS vice-president forExternal Affairs, initiated the idea of removing the magazines, after expressing concern about thebookstore selling what he considers pornographic material and the affect it has on readers. "I don't feelcomfortable removing them without more student input," Anderton said. "But people need more education about the affects pornography have." Other possibilities considered were a ban on the magazines orusing money from sales of them to educate students about pornography. The'board agreed a student vote was the best alternative, but suggestions to put it on the ballot with yesterday's scheduledpresidential run off concerned board members and students, who said they wouldn't be able to inform thestudents about the issue soon enough. The run off election was cancelled after candidate Joe Patrick was disqualified for illegal campaigning on his KUGS radio show. "I think that if we 're going to pass it on tothe students (and let them make the decision), we might as well be responsible about it," said ChristineHart, AS vice-president for Internal Affairs. Jack Smith, adviser to the board, said the AS could removethe magazines now and ask students in a referendum if they should be put back. "I feel comfortableremoving this material," Hart said, "because we try to make our campus as safe as possible and then we have this material in our bookstore that promotes rape and other violence against women." The onlyvoiced opposition came from AdamFranks, next year's AS vice-president for Internal Affairs, who said hedidn't approve of the magazines, but believed individual freedom of choice should be preserved. "It's not ademand for the product, but the principles of freedom of choice," Franks said. "I think people should havethe right to decide for themselves what they want to read and what they don't want to read." Members ofWestern's Women's Center attending the meeting said keeping the magazines violated otherConstitutional freedoms. "If pornography is allowed because of the First Amendment," said one member,"then that's violating the women's rights for equal safety under the law which is in the FourteenthAmendment." Removing the magazines is not a ban, Hart said, since students can still buy them off-campus. Board members voting to remove the magazines until a referendum can be set were Hart,Anderton, AS vice-president for Academic Affairs Ericka Jackson and AS vice-president for ResidenceLife Leslie Jensen. Members voting against the measure were AS president Kent Thoelke,Secretary/Treasurer Bob Visse and Vice- President for Activities Theresa Bertrand. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 By Mark Sabbatinl ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ filed the complaint, after listening to and taping part of a May 27 showhosted by Patrick where Chairperson Dave Mason said Patrick would be disqualified and his opponentMark Aaserud property use, the preamble of the Code promising a fair and impartial election and theKUGS lelatedto the campaign, including his reasons for voting to reduce funding for Departmentallyresult.

"I think Joe has to be heldaccountable. This was a situation Women need voice By Julie Davisson staff reporter The Commissionfor Women is looking for four new members for the 1990-91 academic year. Chairperson ConstanceFaulkner of Fairhaven College is accepting applications for two faculty, one student and one classifiedstaff member to fill the voluntary positions open on the commission. The applications must include ashort written statement of "her particular interests regarding the status of women on campus," asstated in the May 17 issue of Fast, Western's faculty/staff publication. Faulkner will choose twoapplicants for each of the positions and submit those choices to President Mortimer for a finaldecision. As of May 23, no students have applied. Faulkner said she realizes being on a committeetakes a lot of time, but student input is essential. "It's so hard to get student voices on committeesbecause they're transient and much busier in some ways, but we need it. After all, that's what we'rehere for," she said. The commission was established in December 1988 by President Mortimer on arecommendation by the Women's Resources Council and the Women's Network. The Summary ofCommission for Women's Activities (April 1990) states the group's purpose as follows: to "(1) serve as a liaison to I collect and disseminate information on issues of concern to all women on campus; (2) help improve coordination of efforts to accomplish shared goals and (3) advise the president on gender-related issues." The commission meets once every two weeks to discuss such issues as day careprograms, sexual harassment, personal safety, advisement for older returning students and manyother issues relating to women' and the improvement of campus. Faulkner said some of the importantthings the commission accomplished this year were the creation of a Sexual Harassment Task Force,an Ombudsperson and a sexual harassment education program for faculty and staff across campus."We've had a lot of successes this year and we haven't publicized ourselves at all," Faulkner said.Faulkner is leaving the commission next year. "It's a wonderful group to work with," she said.

Smith pointed out Housing and Dining originally received a straight fee of $25from every student and not a percentage cut of the SA funds. Despite Smith's arguments, Thoelke'sproposal was voted down. This rejection follows the rejection made May 22 of a previous proposal calling for a reduction in DRAC's budget. Immediately after the failure, Tina Brinson, a representative of DRAC, put another proposal on the table which would set aside $10,000 for next year's Ethnic Student Center,but would carry forward last year's percentage splits. Thoelke attacked the proposal saying the $10,000would only be a one time solution and the problem of funding the Ethnic Student Center would surfaceagain next year. "I would hate to see one quarter million go toward (building) the Center and then have$10,000~ to run it," Thoelke said. Brinson's proposal subsequently failed. As the meeting dragged onwithout the SA committee reaching a decision, all parties involved appeared unwilling tocompromise. In a state of frustration, Joe Patrick, SA committee member said "I say let's just go fora one-third split and tell everyone else to kiss off!" After all the discussion, a third proposal was finallypresented calling for the exact same percentage ;arry-over as last year. This proposal jassed leavingDRAC, AS and Hous-ng and Dining, after nine months of liscussion, with the same budget percentagesas last year. The SA committee's budget will now go to the board of trustees for final approval. In other actions the board: *placed a two-year written reprimand citing "human error" in Social IssuesCoordinator Chad Goller's personnel file after he used a state computer for campaign purposes in the AS election. *held over a request from Election Chairman Dave Mason for $586 to fund yesterday'scanceled presidential run-off election between Joe Patrick and Mark Aaserud. They also denied hisrequest for reimbursement of 144 hours of claimed overtime work, saying it would set a dangerousprecedent for other AS members working extra hours without compensation. ^discussed thepossibility of using $ 100,000 from the bookstore reserve for a Minority Retention Scholarship. Thescholarship would be awarded to currently enrolled minority students with a 3.2 or greater GPA. Thescholarship would consist of interest from initial money deposited. *Former legislative liaison ScottOlsen made an employment termination appeal. Olsen said the board gave him the alternative ofresigning or being fired, but gave him little grounds for the request. "The way he related to people downin Olympia was not working out," Bertrand said. After dismissing the appeal, Thoelke said Olsen shouldtake legal action if he wanted to pursue his complaint further. "That is my intention," Olsen said.

( ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 3 Protesters raise awareness about jail conditions By EstherEwell staff reporter Four Western women were among the six who demonstrated in front of theWhatcom County Courthouse at noon Thursday to raise awareness of jail conditions and inequalities that exist for the poor. Sharon O'Connell, Collette Holten, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Swaneagle and Adrienne Papermas-ter walked down to the corner of Grand Avenue and Lottie Street carrying signs protestingconditions they say exist, such as bad treatment of the poor inmate population, lack of ventilation andovercrowded jail cells. The protest resulted from information relayed by Nikki Craft, the women's rightsactivist arrested May 23 for malicious mischief. Craft was arrested after tearing up four issues of theJune Esquire magazine in Village Books. Swaneagle of Lummi Island said, "What's wrong with thesystem is this: There are two classes of people. One who can post bail and those who can't. And thosewho can't are subjected to harsh conditions that are unjust and unfair." Collette Holten feels thecurrent judicial system finds people guilty before being proven innocent. People who are unable to postbail must wait in the jail until their trial, which can take months. Holten said, "What about the time spent in jail if found innocent? Do you get compensated for the time you spent in jail? For the misery of it, thelack of exercise, lack of privacy, overcrowding and lack of freedom. Just because you couldn't post bail." One protester, Kate Blake, said the overcrowding of the jail could be greatly reduced if people awaitingtrials for non-violent crimes be released from the jail. Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount said thecourt tends to be lenient and release people on their personal recognizance if they can show any ties inthe local community. "Like with Nikki Craft Her friends have volunteered to bail her out. She TylerAnderson/The Western Front Protesters rallied in front of the courthouse Thursday to make people awareof jail conditions and inequalities against the poor. didn't take it," Mount said. "If she's so concernedabout her fellow inmates, she could accept her friends hospitality and we would have one less bodyinside." Protester Sharon O'Connell said Craft doesn't believe in posting bail. "She's in solidarity with thepoor women in the jail," O'Connell said. One result of jail overcrowding is that 14 women are sharing aneight-bed cell, Holten said. Mount agrees with the protesters on their concern of the overcrowded jails."We are definitely overcrowded. We're the 14th most crowded jail in the state according to statisticsgiven to us by the Washington Association of Sheriff and Police Chiefs," he said. Mount said over theMemorial Day holiday weekend, the jail had 173 people in the 148-bed facility. "It's not just the women'scell; the whole system is overcrowded," Mount said. Because of overcrowding, the ventilation system inthe jail is taxed to its maximum capacity. The inmate Tired of Studying? Need a Break? RENT AMOVIE!

Protesters claim themeals fed to the inmates arc unbalanced and designed to mentally slow down the prison population.Mount responded by saying, "Ask school kids or military members. Anything that is cooked in a massway does not appeal to everybody, but they are nutritionally sound." The jail menus are periodicallyreviewed by nutritionists to assure the nutritional standards. "If we get a complaint, we ask them (thenutritionists) to come over and see what they have to say about it," Mount said. Inmates are given anhour a week for exercise. Protesters said this isn' t enough time to maintain good health. Mount saidthis situation is because of the workload in the prison and the limited number of personnel. "It's beenthat way for four years. It won't change in the near future until we can increase our staffing so we canmove people back and forth easier," Mount said. Western graduate student Lucy Colvin hopes theprotest will bring about changes in the jail conditions and help the people who are too poor to post bail.We need you WE'RE FIGHTING FOR American Heart YOUR LIFE Association -lt;v .a OFF CAMPUS THIS SUMMER?

John Paul Jones De Joria is owner of Paul Mitchell Inc., a hairproducts company, which has donated more than $20,000 to the project, along with a guaranteed entryinto the World Solar Challenge in Australia in November. The Challenge race only allows 30 entries.Three of these positions will be taken by the top solar cars at this summer's General Motors Sun-rayce.The three winners of the Sun-rayce will have all expenses paid by GM to the race in Australia. "I know of no other schools that have entered the Australian race," said Bill Lingenfelter, solar car team captain.De Joria entered his first car, the Mana La, in the 1987 Sunrayce, but because of rule changes, hecouldn't race the same car in this summer's race. He was in the process of building his own entry forthis summer's race when he found out about Western's solar car through a friend at Boeing, Bill Yerkes,Lingenfelter said. De Joria asked Yerkes about which school would win the GM Sunrayce and herecommended Western's car, Lingenfelter said. "He really thinks we will do well," Lingenfelter said. "GMhas also put us at the top of their list to win." "It's not so much the entry, but the use of his grandfatherclause into the race," said Michael Seal, Director of the Vehicle Research Institute. "He thinks wehave a better chance of winning and he's indicated that there could be more (monetary donations)." Allother colleges are relying on winning the Sunrayce in order to go on to the challenge race in Australia,but we aren't, Lingenfelter said. De Joria has been described by the media as a aging hippie who isinterested in solar cars and energy conservation, Seal said. "I think he is really aware of the problems ofthe earth," Seal said. Western's solar car is an unusual design in comparison with its competitors. Itwill be a two passenger car that will be driven facing the east in the morning and turned around to facethe west in the afternoon. Viking XX will have a competitive edge because of the two passenger rule,which allows more solar cells on the car's body. It will be the only car of its type in the GM Sunrayce.The Viking XX is expected to break world records for solar-powered cars by averaging 50 mph on levelroads. Gerald J. Reilly/The Western Front Western's Viking XX has received donations from varioussources to help fund the trip to Australia. It will be featured in the June issue of Popular Science and willbe on the front cover of the August More recently, the Viking XX project received a $5,000 donation fromBellingham Cold Storage. The team is still working toward Students protest elimination of ethnic centerBy Mark Sabbatini staff reporter Associated Student Board budget healings on May 30 were dominatedby students protesting the elimination of the new Ethnic Student Center's administrative budget,which would prevent it s planned opening in November. Because the center's $42,000 request is a newbudget item, it was last on the budget list, said AS president Kent Thoelke. The proposed budgetalready contains a $10,000 deficit, after $120,000 in cuts were made to the $1.1 million budget. "It couldhave been any new program," Thoelke said. "When you have a budget with new programs and themoney doesn't come in, you cut the new programs." However, students attending the meeting claimedthey weren't just "any new program." "I'm very offended as a minority student on this campus that thiscenter is not going to happen," said one student. "This issue has been talked about as long as 20years ago and other campuses are further ahead then we are. I'm wondering what kind of message thiswill give to minority students we're trying to recruit." However, AS board members said money will befound to fund the Center's operations, since approximately $250,000 has been spent to build it. Funds aren't available because of an $80,000 shortfall in the AS budget, which resulted from estimated lower expected enrollment figures. If additional revenues are raised, through higher prices or lower discountrates at the bookstore, some of the money could be used for the center. Thoelke also urged students to talk with Service and Activities Fee Split Committee members, who voted 5-4 not to give a percentage ofmoney from Housing and Dining to the AS to resolve its budget problems. If a member who voted against the proposal calls for a new vote, the issue could be reopened, he said. "What I was hearing in thecommittee meeting was that everyone supported diversity as long as it was done in a status quosetting," said Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board of Directors. "That's almost impossible to work out, which I guess gets to the root of support for diversification at Western." Social Issues CoordinatorChad Goller said he intends to attend the SA committee meeting because "I think it's important thatwe tell these people we're tired of the lip service that this university's given." finishing the solar car alongwith trying to find the funds for travel and lodging expenses for the team members.

"Some Things We've Done," is the title of an exhibit featuring the works of Western studentsGarth Mix and Kwok Wong. The exhibit has certain undertones but for the most part, the title of theshow does a good job in summing up the work featured. Wong seems to enjoy delving into the realm ofthe human mind. His Picasso-ish style can be appreciated by all who attend. He dabbles in theabstractâ€”the inner self. The end result stirs a variety of emotions. To the common observer, pain andfear are the dominant elements in his work. Wong's work "A Poet," demonstrates his dealings in theabstract. This drawing shows an apparently frightened woman staring down at a pool of water. Herreflection, however, is not her own. The reflection she sees is that of a man, who seems equallyfrightened. Another one of Wong's works titled "The Great Depression" features wretched, mangledhands reaching up into darkness. The feeling one gets from looking at this work is one of injustice.Wong's drawing of Lucille Ball deviates from his other works featured. It is a portrait done withexquisite detail. It is of photographic quality. Mix combines a variety of feeling in his work. Someof his more impressionable works include "Contribution Exxon" and "Stacks." Both works deal withman's negative effect on the environment. "Contribution Exxon" is a graphite drawing of a bird coveredin oil. The bird is obviously dead or dying. The detail in the drawing is of phenomenal quality andshould be seen by all who appreciate fine art. "Stacks" is another graphite drawing. The work shows a woman sitting by a cliff overlooking a valley. She is staring somberly at huge smoke stacks in thedistance. It is another great piece of artwork. "I come from Kodiak, Alaska," Mix said. "I have workedextensively in the wilderness and have seen the impact we have on the environment" It is quite obviousMix doesn't like what he sees. This is clearly defined in his artwork. Mix uses what appears to be thesame girl in many of his works. She is placed in a variety of environments and situations. She addsgreatly to the mood of the pieces in which she is featured. "It isn't any one girl," Mix said. "However, agirl I met when I was a freshman was used as a model for some of the works." Mix is a Graphic DesignIllustrating major. He is currently in his junior year. Both artists show a wide variety of styles in theirdisplays. "Basically, I've just been experimenting with the different styles to figure out exactly what itis I want to do," Mix said. "I'll probably go the commercial route," Mix said. Whatever the case, bothartists are extremely talented. Their displays in the Viking Union Gallery run through June 1. If youhaven't seen the exhibit yet, definitely make the effort to see their works. You are bound to be pleasantly surprised. If for some reason you miss the show, just take a look at some of the illustrations in thispaper.

No morebreasts and snakes By Jeff Galbraith guest columnist I was reading the Front the other day (because,of course, my June issue of Heaving Heavy Bondage Queens hadii'tarrived),andInoticed a recentmovement in the AS. Unfortunately it wasn't the movement of brain impulses. It looks as if there'sgoing to be a very vocal and heavy battle to ban publications at the bookstore deemed as "pornographic." . Thank God. It's about time someone had the balls (or whatever they may have) to stand up andscream, "Blech!" and remove these perv-pages from our view. Naked women are gross and harmful. Noone can dispute that. They perpetuate false ideals and therefore should be hidden from society exceptwithin the walls of very dark honeymoon suites. A . Take, for instance, the Playboy issue lastyear which featured Latoya Jackson (Michael's ex-little sis). The wholly unwholesome pictorial featured poorLatoya forced to lay buck-naked with bloated breasts and a huge python (Hugh Hefner later felt bad andgave her a few hundred thousand dollars). This is likely to make stupid women give themselves home-silicon jobs and fondle giant reptiles.

Yes, I was there with my ear-lobes decked out with my mom's assorted religiousmedallions and my waver haircut covering three-fourths of my pre-pubescent face. With the help of MTVand KYYX, this was also the year I discovered the one thing that wasn't synonymous with a "passingphase" â€” U2. Something about the song "New Year's Day" with lead singer Bono crooning, "I want tobe with you night and day," made me want to get one of my first album s, War. From the days of pilingon my sister's make-up and hanging out at 7-11,1 discovered my favorite band. With War, U2 broughtme music I could rebel with and for the first time I felt like I knew exactly what my cause was. This band believed in freedom. This band believed in love. And for that period in my live, I felt this band believed inme. The album's first cut, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," questions the practicality of war. Bono sings,"And the battle's just begun. There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within ourhearts, and mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart" With the Edge's machine gun guitar, AdamClayton's pulsating bass and drummer Larry Mullen Jr's driving rhythms, the band comes across like anarmy. BLAST FROM THE PAST And they should sound this way, for U2 has seen the battlefirsthand. The band's homeland, Ireland, is plagued with revolution, which often goes unnoticed by themedia. Yet, in War, U2 expresses the fears both the Irish population and other war-torn countries faceeveryday. In "Like a Song," U2 confronts the horror of revolution, "And we love to wear a badge, auniform, and we love to fly a flag. But I won't let others live in hell, as we divide against each other, andfight amongst ourselves." In this album I heard the courage to stand up for your beliefs, whether it bein yourself, your country or your religion. U2 is believable. Lou Reed said, "U2's not a pop group. Theyare in this for real." And from the beginnings of the band in 1976, U2 realized then-style involved muchmore than music. About their early acts, manager Paul McGuinness said, "They were very bad, but itwasn't the songs that were the attraction. It was the energy and commitment to performance. Bonowould run around looking for people to meet his eyes." In essence, Bono and the band were looking forus all to get a grasp on reality. Through War, I learned there were much more important things in lifethan my 14 year-old concerns about the pimple on my forehead. The power of love is anotherimportant theme on the album, as addressed in "Drowning Man." I remember Bono promising me, "Takemy hand, you know I'll be there if you can I'll cross the sky for your love. And I understand these windsand tides, this change of times won't drag you away." O.K.,Iknowhe wasn'tpromis-ing ME this, althoughin "Gloria"(off the second album October) he did say if he had anything he'd give it to me â€” Uh huh,yeah right! The album ends with the sing along anthem "40." "40," along with other cuts from War,October and Boy are available on the concert album Under a Blood Red Sky. In concert is where theband's passions take shape. But the album struck something deeper with me â€” it seemed tominimize all the concerns I had about being a freshman in high school, and heighten a new awareness of my own personal freedom.

Jason Tromsness, the 1990 Outstanding Graduate of theTheater/Dance department, sat center-stage in the Old Main Theater making his own sounds on anacoustic guitar while he waited for the sound system to be restored during a "We're Not Your Mother"rehearsal. "We're Not Your Mother" is a performance group he and his friends began which does tenminute experimental dialogues incorporating music, art and poetry. Tromsness isn't quite sure whyhe was recognized as Outstanding Graduate. Taking six years to complete a degree at Western is not a sign of a student extraordinaire, Tromsness said. "I think it's their (the Theater/Dance department)way of telling me it's time to go," he said with a half laugh. "It feels good and I feel like I've maybe left amark here somehow. I think maybe they think I gave the greatest service to the department. That isappreciated but other students, like these guys, deserve it just as much as me," he said as two of his"Mother" cohorts walked into the theater. "I have to thank everything to the wisdom of Bob Dylan,"Tromsness said explaining that George Mount, one of the "Mothers" introduced him to Dylan. "He sayseverything about the human condition in his lyrics." Acting is all about the human condi- â€¢ tion.Tromsness favors being a character actor. "You can show people what they're like and maybe influencethe way they continue to behave," Tromsness said. Acting is an outlet for the powers of observation, hesaid. "Everybody observes what is around them but they don't know what to do with what they learn. Anactor attempts to use every experience to relate to the real world." Playing the villain in a show issomething Tromsness likes but not because .people remember the bad guy. "People don't think theycould ever be a rapist or a murderer but all you have to do is scratch a little off the surface of yourselfand you find you have it in you somewhere," he said. "It is scary but kind of fulfilling. It's like therapy and you don't have to pay for it." Hiding behind characters, costumes and masks is what makes the stageattractive to Tromsness, but hiding is not what he does when it comes to his role within the theaterdepartment. Two months have not gone by when he wasn't involved in a production. He has participatedin approximately 70 shows during his career at Western. Acting is not his only talent. He does a lotof the technical work too. Building and designing sets, costuming, mask- Besides being wanted he willbe allowed to teach classes as well as study there. In the third year of study at USC, master'sstudents attendFoldger's Shakespearean Theater in Washington D.C. to polish their professional acting skills. Teaching theater at university level is Tromsness' career goal. He wants to experienceprofessional theater first so he can bring expertise to the students. He admires many of Western'sTheater/Dance department faculty. "From what I've heard and experienced, this is the best bachelor ofarts program in the state. The faculty and staff teach you by letting you sink or swim. If you have anexperimental idea, they give you the opportunity to make it real. They are knowledgeable and I owe all Iknow about acting to them," Tromsness said. College was not on Tromsness' agenda really love thisplace. It's a family and it is really productive. making and sound are all components of his theatricaleducation. Tromsness will be staying at Western to perform in Summer Stock productions throughAugust 11. But then he won't be hanging around in the Western limelight. He begins his masters program in fine arts at University of South Carolina (USC) on August 20. He was nominated to go to theEducational Regional Theater Auditions (ERTA), where college-age actors have the opportunity tobe seen by university theater recruiters, repertoire theater groups and summer theaters. Tromsnessreceived many offers but chose USC for several reasons. "They really seemed to want me. Instead ofgoing to Rutgers or Indiana University where they'd take me or leave me, I figured I'd go where I waswanted," he said. â€” Jason Tromsness once his dream of a football career was ruined after a work-related knee injury forced him to grope for other alternatives. During high school he was in a rock 'n' rollband and worked part-time. He took an acting class and was encouraged by teachers to continue. "I dothis because it's all that's left," he said jokingly. "I was lousy at building fences and digging ditches, Icould play the guitar but wasn't right for the band's image so I sold all my musical equipment and paidfor my first quarter at Western. "I'm sure I haven't used the time (at Western) wisely ... who does?"Tromsness said. He is also sure he loves what he does and his experience in Western's Theater/ Dance department was something he won't regret. "I really like this place. It's a family and it is reallyproductive. It's going to be hard to leave." $ ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 9 Outstanding graphics by Randall By Julie Davisson staffreporter Five years of hard work has paid off for Western senior Scott Randall. On top of graduating witha Bachelor of Arts this spring, Randall has been selected as Outstanding Graduating Senior for the ArtDepartment. Randall, a studio art major with a concentration in graphic design and illustration andcomputer graphics, said the recognition came as a surprise because he didn't even know what it was.Kristi Lundstrom of the Alumni Office said each department chooses, based on their own criteria, onegraduating student to receive the award. Selection is not necessarily based on grade point average, buton, "what type of student they've been, what they've accomplished and how they've accomplished it,"Lundstrom said. Randall appreciates the recognition, but said, "it's weird to be singled out when youknow everybody's working just as hard as you are." Randall has puthis graphic design skills and talent to good use this year. He has worked at the computer lab in the Art Annex since September. "Computersare a really valuable resource," he said. He said he has learned a lot through his work there, and it hasprovided some valuable experience. In addition to the job, Randall spent time both fall and winter quarters designing posters for Associated Student events and films. Randall designed the posters for suchcampus films as, "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid," "Decline of Western Civilization" (parts one and two) and"Variety." Randall also designed the Accentlogo fortheFront, which is currently in use. This quarterRandall is working on the Klipsun staff as a graphic designer. "(Working on Klipsun) is a greatopportunity for someone in my position," he said. Randall said the experience has made him realize heenjoys working.on publication layout and it will provide valuable resume and portfolio material. Randallsaid having a good portfolio is more important than the degree upon leaving the Art Department. Aftergraduation, Randall and a friend, Liz Johanson, are planning to setup a studio in Seattle and beginfreelance work. "It's a bit scary walking out the door and not knowing (exactly what's ahead)," he said. A dessert and beverage celebration for all outstanding graduating seniors is scheduled for 7 p.m. on June15 in the Viking Union Lounge. President Mortimer and faculty from each department will speak andawards will be given. Paul Turpin Musician plays trombone, reggae By Shirley Mullin staff reporterThe 1990 Outstanding Graduate of the Year award "honors the student who is the best, not necessarilythe one with the highest GPA," said Kristie Lundstrom, staff member of the Alumni Office. The musicdepartment has selected Paul Turpin as its graduate of the year. "I'm honored," said Turpin of his award."There are a lot of surprisingly talented people in this department." Lundstrom said an outstandinggraduate is chosen by every department and each department sets their own criteria for the award.Dr. Mary Terey-Smith, faculty member in the music department said the depart-mentlooks for acombination of things. The first factor was general standing in General University Requirement classes."Paul has a very high general standing," Terey-Smith said. The second factor is individual development at Western. Terey-Smith said Turpin is "active in many areas â€” he plays the trombone quite well,and also is a composer." David Wallace, faculty member in the music department, said the department was encouraged by Turpin's development while at Western. "The music department is fortunate in thatit has a variety of students talented in various areas," said Wallace. Turpin is active in both composingand performing. Paul Turpin The final factor in choosing the outstanding graduate of the year is thestudents service to the department. Turpin participated in ensembles and orchestra, said Terey-Smith. This is the category where creative ability is important, said Wallace. Turpin will receive hisdouble-major bachelor's degree in Music Composition and Trombone Performance and plays keyboardson the Bellingham-based reggae band Jumbalassy (formerly the Almighty Dread). "All-together thesefactors placed Paul high in the standings," said Terey-Smith. Turpin will be entering Western's mastersprogram in musical composition next year in the fall. "Things have been going real well with Jumbalassy, which would have kept me up in Bellingham anyway," said Turpin. Turpin will also be helping out with anew electronic music studio for the music department, which will be ready for use in the fall. CurrentlyTurpin is in the process of producing a Jumbalassy record which the band recently recorded at GothamCity recording studio in Vancouver, B.C. Turpin said he hopes to have a Jumbalassy single out in threeweeks. Turpin gained experience in musical production from time spent at the Fairhaven recordingstudio. "I really like producing," Turpin said. "It takes a combination of all the talents (musiccomposition, music performance and audio recording techniques) I have been trying to learn here atWestern for the past five years." Turpin hopes to eventually complete his doctorate in music composition but says a little time off is in order after getting his masters out of the way. The 1990 OutstandingGraduates of the Year will be honored with a dessert celebration June 15, said Lundstrom. A facultyhost will introduce each graduate with a speech on why the department chose the student. The studentsfamily is invited to attend. The outstanding graduates will be awarded a certificate at the dessertcelebration. The honor will also be written on the commencement program. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 AS budget cuts eliminate some programs By MarkSabbatini staff reporter Final recommendations for next year's Associated Students budget proposeeliminating several programs and AS staff positions, after shortages occurred because of expectedlower student enrollment. The budget allocates $120,480 less than the $1.1 million requested and theAS has a deficit of $10,000, AS treasurer Bob Visse said. The hardest blows were to the Faculty/Course Evaluation Program, the monthly environmental publication The Planet and staff funding for the newEthnic Student Center, which were all cut. In addition, eight AS Productions positions were eliminated,including assistants who post flyers and handle other promotional duties. Visse said increasing revenues through higher prices or cutting discount rates at the student bookstore may be considered, althoughhe would prefer other alternatives. The cuts are necessary because the AS received $80,000 less thanexpected because student enrollment is lower than expected, said AS president Kent Thoelke. Twoproposals were submitted by the AS at the Service and Activities Fee Split Committee, whichrecommended how $85 out of each student's tuition should be divided between the AS, the Departmently Related Activities Committee (DRAC) and Housing and Dining. The first, proposing to cut DRAC'sbudget, was defeated because of a heavy turnout of DRAC supporters. Thoelke said he felt the cut' would have been justified. "The reason for that proposal was the fact that the DRAC proposals were a mess,"he said. "They were hard to read, they had deficits running and I didn 't feel it was appropriate to give them the same amount of money when they were running deficits." A second proposal by Thoelke tocut Housing and Dining's budget by .03 percent was also defeated. The SA committee voted to carryover last year's budgets with proportional increases to each budget. Almost all organizations asking formore money than last year received it, said Christine Hart, AS vice president for Internal Affairs.However, few received what they asked for. We're not going to spend that much money to put thefacility in and then not operate the program. Kent Thoelke, AS President The strongest protest of theproposed budget came from supporters of the Ethnic Student Center, whose $42,000 administrativebudget was eliminated since it is anew organization. However Thoelke said funding will be availablesomehow by the time the center is scheduled for completion in November. "We're not going to spendthat much money to put the facility in and then not operate the program," he said. Funding for ThePlanet was eliminated, Thoelke said, because the AS felt DRAC should support it. "The budgetcommittee decided that students in The Planet were receiving credit from Huxley College and Huxleywas deriving most of the benefits from the program itself, and because of that it was more a department related activity than an Associated Students activity," he said. Sara Olason, editor of The Planet,said it would take a year for DRAC to put the magazine in it's budget and expressed concern for whatwould happen during that year. Hart mentioned the possibility of funding the publication for one year ona "sunset" basis, with publication ceasing if DRAC does not fund it. Cuts to AS Production staff will becrippling, said next year's AS Vice President for Activities Moria Hopkins, because of changes alreadymade in personnel structure. Stanton Continued from page 1 was driving the oncoming car. Accordingto the State Patrol report Stanton was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and was driving a1981 Yamaha 750. Stanton's roommate, Todd Rutherford, was accompanying him on his ownmotorcycle. Rutherford, a senior majoring in manufacturing, was escorting Stanton to the Southern tipof Chuckanut Drive to see him off on a Memorial Day weekend trip. "He was going on a trip to EasternWashington. I loaned him my helmet because it was a much better helmet than his," Rutherford said.Rutherford, who was in front of Stanton when the accident occurred, said they had been driving at thespeed of 60 to 65 mph at the time of the accident and the oncoming car tried to get out of the way. "Iwas about 30 feet in front of him," Rutherford said. "I saw the whole thing in the rearview mirror. "When Ifirst saw the accident I thought, 'this is really going to ruin his weekend,'" Rutherford said. "I reallythought he was alive." Rutherford only knew Stanton six months, but he said it was more than enoughtime to really get to know him. "When you met Jamie, you either loved him or hated him,"Rutherford said. "Most people loved him." "Where ever he went a good time followed him," said AnitaM. Poor, Stanton's girlfriend of two months and a junior majoring in environmental studies. "I'm still inshock. It's hard to be here without him." Both Poor and Rutherford described Stanton as a person who lived his life to the fullest. "He liked to go fast.

He always did what he wanted to do." Leathers are pantsand jackets made of leather and are worn as protection by motorcycle riders in case of an accident.Stanton and Rutherford were longtime motorcycle riders and had many opportunities to drive downChuckanut Drive before the accident. "We rode Chuckanut a lot," Rutherford said. "It was just another drive down Chuckanut." "I'll always remember the first drive down Chuckanut when we went to theLonghorn Saloon in Edison," Rutherford said. Rutherford isn't sure when or if he will ride his motorcycleagain and is now driving a borrowed truck. "I gave my dad my motorcycle," Rutherford said. "I've beenriding all my life."

Variousideas for balancing the budget were discussed, but Visse said either an appeal to voting members of the SA committee to change ' their votes or increased revenues from the bookstore were the only optionsleft. Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board, said using the bookstore for additional funds would be "aneasy out." A one percent decrease in the discount rate would generate up to ^ $40,000, but would set abad precedent. Give Our Kids Room To Grow.

Golf ... it's a gentleman's game. Arnold Palmer,Republicans, yellow slacks and Cadillacs â€” how does one define it? Golf is not just a sport... it's apassion. A passion that breeds deep in the heart of every red-blooded American. No other sport offers the peace and serenity that golf does. It's just you and nature (grass, trees, sand and water) out there on the course. It could very well be the fastest growing sport in America today. Soon, everyone will be flockingto their local course in search of that perfectround... scratch golf. That ever elusive perfect round is whatbrings most golfers out to the pourse at the crack of dawn, day after day. People go about attempting tomaterialize this dream in different ways, whether it be by playing with a set of $1000 Pings or studying aJack Nicklaus golf instructional video. Just as there are many different ways of obtainingthatperfectround, so to are there many different interpretations of the perfect round. For some, it's justthe dream that someday they will break 100 (on a par 72 course), for others it's the hope that one daythey will play a round without losing any balls. Yet, in the end, after that one-hundredth bucket of ballshave been hit and that last series of lessons have been completed, few are any better than when theyfirst started. This is the beauty of golf. It really doesn't matter how good you are, in fact those golfers thatare lacking in skill usually have a better time while playing it. It's those people who take the game tooserious â€” swearing and throwing their clubs â€” that give golf and golfers a bad name. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. Whenyou think about it, golf may be the only equal opportunity sport in the world. No other sport allows menand women to compete together fairly and what's great about golf is that there is no need for competitionanyway. Golf is a relaxing sport to be enjoyed by all; rarely does it need to get serious. Many businessdeals have been finalized on the golf course and many presidential and congressional decisions havecome about during a round of golf, but nothing can compare to playing with a few friends. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. It's atime when a few friends can spend some quality time bonding together or working out their problems.So on the next sunny day, call a few friends, grab the hickory sticks and hit the course for a round ofterrible golf and some quality bonding.

What you get is Ray Townsend's racingcar, number 77. Townsend is a senior studying history and races his car every Saturday from the endof March through the end of September at Evergreen Speedway located at the Evergreen StateFairgrounds in Monroe. "I've been going to car races since I was a week old and started racing four years ago," Townsend said. Townsend bought his car for $150 and estimates it is now worth $5,000. Theentire car had to be changed to make it into a race car. A special racing seat was installed and thedashboard was replaced with a sheet of steel. Only the necessary gauges were left, such as the oilpressure, water temperature and tachometer. "The car has a standard transmission three speed andthe engine is a 351 Windsor," he said. "The goal is to get as much weight as possible on the left sidebecause of the turns on the track." Townsend races in the bombers class, which originally was for street cars with minor changes. However people made more and more changes, so the cars were more likeracing cars than street cars. Townsend's racing team, T and B Racing, is comprised of his father,brother-in-law and one pit crew member. "My dad provides the money and my brother-in-law racesanother car." The races begin at 7 p.m. with opening heats determining which cars will be entered intothe main events. The heat races are eight laps and Townsend said usually 10 cars are in each heat andthere is a good balance between the faster and slower cars. There are three main events- a 15, 20 and25 lap race. Townsend has never won a main event yet he still looks forward to the races and isoptimistic about going every weekend. "I like the competition and the challenge," he said. This year, out of six events, the heat and the main race, Townsend has finished 11 times in the top 10 and six timesin the top five. Townsend's average lap speed is 62 m.p.h. and said his high speeds are around 85m.p.h. We're Fighting For Your Life.

The pride that guys take in theirintramural sports T-shirts. I've never seen anything like it before. These shirts get more wear and use then your first pair of Ray-Ban sun-glasses got. Or, when after months of saving, you finally got your mountain bike. Or, remember back in high school and that first varsity letter? Even the letterman's jacket wasn'tquite the same. Sure, you used them all until you thought they were going to wear out, rot or break, butthe similarities end there. Nope, college is the big time, and an intramural T-shirt means you 're the bestof the best that quarter in some sport, and dammit if everyone isn't going to know it! In my four years atWestern, the graphics have stayed the same and only the colors of the shirts seemed to have changed. I have managed to make some observations: 1) Have you ever seen a girl wearing one? They must havethem. I know girls who could kick a lot of guys all over the court or field or pretty much anywhere. So whydon't they wear their shirts? It's a mystery. 2) Guys will wear their shirts no matter how old, how tight orhow ragged they look. I have a friend who won a shirt in 1986 when his softball team won that yearstournament. He still can be seen wearing it on especially bright sunny days when there's a lot of people(girls and intramural losers?) filling Red Square. It's faded, torn and basically pretty grungy looking, but the pride is apparent. Some guys shirts are so tight it almost looks ridiculous. I asked a male friend aboutthis and he said, "Well how else are you supposed to see the muscles?" Hmmmmm. 3) There are noboundaries to the extremes guys will go to get the prized shirt. One friend had just made it to the finals in the spring tennis competition. The next day was the big day, and he was sure he could win. Whathappened? He sprained his ankle. I mean really messed it up. It looked like a golf ball. But that didn'tmatter. He took plenty of Advil, wrapped the ankle H^^^^^^^^HH^^^^^^^^^^H "With Nutri/System, Ipermanently lowered my weight 126 lbs. I lowered my cholesterol, too."

But he won, and now he is proudly wearing his shirt weekly for all to see. 4) Guys hope to woo women with theirshirts. The shirt builds their confidence. It fills them with vim and vigor. Just take a look around at thelocal bars. Statistically, more of my dorm-residing male friends party on weekends with their shirts onthen in any other attire. I've been told it impresses their buddies and is a good way to kick up aconversation with the babes. 5)1 know guys that sleep in their shirts, play other unrelated sports in theirshirts and, when the shirt has been worn to the point that it has been reduced to a mere rag, use it towipe up beer spills. The latter, of course, being the greatest honor of all for these treasured shirts.

SUPERCUTS ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front OPINION Friday, June 1,1990 Removal of magazines denies student choiceWestern students are non-thinking machines who shouldn't be allowed to make personal choices. Right? That's the message the AS board sent on Tuesday when four of their members decided for 10,000 otherstudents to ban Penthouse, Playboy and Playgirl from the Student Coop bookstore. The board had noright to make that decision for the rest of us. The real issue isn't the pictures in the magazines, butrather the freedom of choice â€” the foundation of a democratic society. We don't want anyone deciding for us what to do. Censorship is wrong. If anyone objects to those magazines, they don't have to buythem. It's their choice. Or was. CHOICE is important. One year ago, thousands of Chinese students were denied the choice of democracy. On June 4, the Chinese government turned on its own young,opening fire and rolling its tanks over an estimated 1,000 of its most passionate, most hopeful, brightstars. Ev$h a^ear after the Tiananmen Square massacre, the horror continues^. Yesterday three formerhunger strikers, the only open critics of the government since the protest ended, disappeared and theirplanned news conference was canceled. Once taken, democracy is not easily returned. The AS boardseems to think differently. Jack Smith, adviser to the Board, said the AS could remove the magazinesnow and ask the students in a fall referendum if they want them put back. Chinese leaders probably think they are doing the best thing for their people. They're wrong, as is the board. The idea behind theStudent Co-op bookstore is that the students own it and profit from it. The students should be the ones to decided what is sold in their store. A basic freedom is being stripped from Western students. It's time todemand it back before it's lost altogether. The students in China protested and sacrificed their livesattempting to reclaim lost freedom. On a much smaller scale at Western, we must act to preserve ourpersonal rights as individuals. The AS's approval of this ban could begin a dangerous precedent of elitistdecision making. Students need to speak out and let the AS board know how they .feel. Tell them youstill have a brain and want to continue to use it. Call them, write them, stake out their offices and homes. Let them know there's no way Western students will let them start making personal choices for us.'VHHHBlMktti Kathy Tucker, editor; Linda Dahlstrom, managing editor, Sue LaPalm, news editor, KarenLane Hingston, assistant news editor; Kurt McNett, Accent editor; Charlotte Anderson, assistantAccent editor; Ed Treat, campus government editor; Matt Baunsgard, features editor; Deven Bellingar,sports editor; Darryl Carr, assistant sports editor; Theo Gross, copy editor; Leah Linscott, copy editor;Shannon Fowler, typesetter; Tyler Anderson, photo editor; Maria Manliclic, production chief; DeannaOttavelli, production chief; Garth Mix, illustrator; Pete Stelfens, adviser.

NlCEWOWaoANoFARC! 700 Wgt; YOU'LL NEVER GET APURPLE HEAKL CPS Do-wop-wop-wop Bigoted godfather needs backyard tour I Peter Donaldsonstaff reporter met a man last weekend who said with a laugh, "I only hate two things: racists andMexicans." This third-generation, Italian- American may one day be my sister's father-in-law and Idon't see how she can tolerate such bigotry. He reasoned that since Mexico was filthy, disease ridden,poor and economically backward it warranted his hate. I found his words so full of hypocrisy they mademe nauseous. I wondered if he had ever seen the Arno river in Florence, Italy. Muddy brown frompollution and erosion, with enough floating trash to fill a hundred garbage trucks, the river meandersthrough overcrowded, oil-stained streets. The Po river in Venice and the city's canals have ! becomenothing more than a cesspool of human waste. Granted Mexico has its problems, but areas of Mexicoare cleaner and more pristine than Italy will ever be. When speaking money, the peso is no doubt a weak currency, but the last time I checked the lire wasn't exactly a cornerstone of financial success either. Itmakes my head spin to try to understand a free-market economy and fluctuating exchange rates. Sowhen I traveled to Italy two years ago and cashed my dollars for lire, I found it was like trading gold for dirt. I was getting 1,000 lire to the dollar. It doesn't take brains to figure something is wrong here. Of coursethis man in question could claim his years The seed of discontent in the United States have removed him from Italy's problems and he is now a true-blue American. My argument would then seem pointless untilyou consider where he lives: Cleveland, Ohio. Parts of downtown Cleveland are a hell of a lot worse thanparts of Mexico. Just 20 years ago the Cuyahoga river caught fire from industrial pollution. Yes that'sright, a river on fire. Need I say more? He ruined what would have been an excellent dinner withdisgusting jokes about every ethnic group except Italians. I thought I'd enlighten him on the availability ofItalian jokes. Q. What do Italian machine guns sound like? A. Wop-Wop-Wop. I know it's not very funny, but it was the only one I knew. He didn't like it one bit. "I thought I'd have you sit next to me becauseyou looked the most intelligent Peter, now I'm not so sure," he said. Well, I can handle that, besides my point was made. I finished my dinner in frustrated anger. At least it was quiet, frustrated anger. In aworld struggling toward a fair share for everybody, it's people like this that keep us traveling in circles.Concentric circles that never cross. It's a good thing he's passed some of these quality traits on to hissons. I'm friendly enough and I definitely don't hold grudges, but I decided after my dinner was done that Ido hate one thing: people who are too gutless to look at themselves critically so they point their bigotedfinger at someone else. Bush administration rapes Bill of Rights T Chris Von Seggern staff reporterhe Bush administration's "war on drugs" isn't really a war on the drug problem. It's a war on your civilrights. Politicians, in their frenzy to look like they're actually concerned about drugs, are makingthemselves blue in the face throwing around neat-sounding terms like "zero tolerance." Narcoticsenforcement, agents are everywhere â€” with laws that punish legitimate behavior on the pretense ofdeterring drug trafficking. Agents arc peeking into windows, seizing boats, testing your urine and pryinginto every detail of your life. This rape of the Bill of Rights looks good on the TV news, but it isn't doing athing to discourage drug users or dealers. A law in Alexandria, Va. threatens up to two yearsimprisonment for people who loiter for a few minutes and exchange "small objects" with someone else.This may sound like a perfect description of a street-corner crack deal. Maybe it is. Unfortunately, it'salso a perfect description of a thousand routine transactions all of us make every day. Does it makesense to throw me in jail if Irun into a friend who owes me money on the street and collect on the debt?Speaking of collecting, the U.S. Coast Guard will be happy to collect your boat if they find even thesmallest amount of any illegal drug on board. They don't even care if the drug was in the possession ofthe boat's owner or not. So what this means is I could lose my yacht, assuming I had one, if I wentout on it for a weekend with some friends and one of them got caught with a single joint I didn't even know they had. Hell, not even as much as a joint â€” all it takes is a seed. I'm really glad the government isworking so hard to protect me from other people's casual drug use by seizing my property. Manyemployers have been requiring drug testing for several years. Now the high schools are getting into theact. According to USA Today, athletes and cheerleaders at a Birmingham, Ala. high school are now being forced to undergo testing as well. But there's one little problem with drug testing â€” it isn't 100 percentaccurate. Don't tell me losing my job because of a false test result doesn't violate my civil rights. All ofthese measures provide quick, easy "solutions" to a problem that runs much deeper in Americansociety than law enforcement. President Bush isn'treally interested in defeating the drug problem, just inlooking like he is so he can keep the public happy. I'm not fooled, and you shouldn't be either. Bush cancontinue to pour government funds into law enforcement until we're on the brink of economic collapse,but it won't solve the problem. The drug problem in America is a result of gaping deficiencies in oursociety which must be addressed before we will be able to leash the monster wreaking havoc in every part of the nation. Instead of enforcement, Mr. Bush might want to try putting more money into treatmentand education programs, or social programs to eliminate some of the societal problems which lead todrug abuse. It might be time to try (gasp!) legalization. It's obvious that attempting to control drugsthrough law enforcement isn't working. In any war, when your tactics aren't working, it's time for aswitch. It's high time we rethought the war on drugs. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 15 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 Letters The Western Front 15 Orwell never gt; wrote doubletalk Editor:Somebody may have called it "Doubletalk" at some point. But not George Orwell. Geez, there you guysare, with a gigantic library at your disposal, English profs coming out of your â€¢ ears, and you don'teven bother to look up one lousy reference? What am I supposed to tell my journalistic peers? Contraryto your May 15 editorial on capital punishment, Orwell didn't call it "Doubletalk." The only possiblesource of this erroneous quote ' is 1984. In that novel, Orwell coins "newspeak" and "doublethink." Youwon't find "Doubletalk," and if you do, I'll send you a brownie button. My dictionary gives 1936 as the date of coinage for "doubletalk," though it doesn't say whose pen scrawled it. y You wanna quote somebody, quote him right. Otherwise, make up your own terminology. Reporters have enough troubles beingaccurate as it is. It's been fun nagging you. Sean Robinson alumnus West Seattle Herald P.S.Naturally, if you find that Orwell came up with "doubletalk" in 1936, I'll happily eat a crow. From eachelection, a thorn shall grow Editor: The elections are over and political fervor has died to a minimum.However, I am often reminded of it when I meet people on campus and they ask if I am "Stonnin'Norman," the guy who was in the elections. It is a boost of confidence when people you don't know tellyou they voted for you because they have faith in you. I am sorry I lost the election. However, to all those who voted for the Norman Conquest â€” I thank thee. To the one who gave my campaign a whole newoutlook, the "Refonnin' Norman Crusade," â€” thanks, though it came a bit late. * ir^flRWHWHWHTOTgt;an Smith, be steadfast, for you have not lost friends it is just that the safety line between some hasbeen lengthened. I don't believe I have lost any "friends," but rather I think that the winners should bewary of a thorn in their sides next year. Stormin' "Reformin" Norman Pendergraft Hiney-kicked candidate 'Hot foot' seldom makes papers fun Editor: The vagaries of trans-Pacific and tropic mails prevented meseeing the issue with Dr. Lyle Harris' remarks on the Green Apple story, but I've read with keen interestthe swirl of letters in its' wake. The editor's and writers' spirited rebuttals carried me back to my ownheady youth and the self-righteous, self-serving, splendidly-written (I was sure) sizzler I directed at ourprincipal in the first editorial after he lifted a ban on our high school weekly. The Shanghai American.To be sure, I was defending the accuracy of a fire safety story (that had pained his public relationssensitivities), not asserting the merits of editors and writers having fun in dark places to titillate andtickle those readers that share their level of sophistication and taste. But I can still remember thesatisfaction of a phrase-flexing master wordsman ("A cut! Apalpable cut!") armed with the power of pen and press. After all, like Shakespeare's young blades in Romeo and Julia, I was not yet 16. Touche',Mr. Gibb, touche'! However, I must say that winter quarter's Front sometimes seemed to be written andrun by minds trying to enjoy their youth by clinging to their adolescence. As a journalist, a teacher andan adviser, I admit I always nervously eye new student editors ambitious to make the paper more "fun."Some Western Front humorists have been marvelousâ€”notably Steve Johnson and Jack Broom, nowwith The Seattle Times. But those whose highest humor is giving the "hot foot" seldom make a papereither fun or funny. More often they make it into a joke. I was on campus again briefly at the end ofwinter quarter, and saw the closing issue. The Front carried a story under a wrong headline and thenrepeated it inside. I don't suppose the editor or any long-suffering staff member will put that page orpaper in their clip files. An editorship is a trust. A good editor can edit well and have fun. What can yousay to someone who sees the Front as a swell place "to make mistakes"? My compliments on thespring issues. R.E. Stannardjr.

By WALT BAKER ...After last week's bit of sticking my neck out about this and that and the other thing, I'll start this week's LOOK by relating a humorous incident that really happened to a student of the University of Notre Dame recently . ..It seems that this fellow, back in the year 1940 heeded a job and applied to several concerns in the city of Chicago ..Just picture a neatly dressed freshman business ad major trooping into the office of an intended employer ..The interview went something like this Y.

DEAD END: Last weekend will go down as one of the events that will be hard to forget in life here at Western Washington Saturday evening, your scribe and the majority of Hospice's population, including the women, hopped into our transportation vehicle, and journeyed out to the summer home of JOHN ROBERT GERMAIN, located at Neptune Beach A good evening salt water swim opened-the proceedings, followed by a beach fire party, with heaps of potato salad, sandwiches, chicken and ice cold drinks .This was followed with songs, recorded music, story telling,, etc. The next morning a swim before a breakfast of hot stacks, etc. Climax of the weekend was that excellent barbecued salmon of MR/GERMAIN'S (I cartt go on.) By the way, the Germain place is tabbed, "Dead End." AMERICA AND COLLEGE God built a, continent with glory, filled with treasures untold. He bedecked it with soft rolling^ pairiles and pillared it with thundering mountains. He studded it with flowing fountains,-and encompassed : it with long winding streams. He graced it with deep and shaclpwed forests and glistening blue wates. • These treasures';would have meant, littleif myriads^nf people^ the bray-je^ t; ^ races^ h #£ $rii^^ Carter £omes Tuesday Juanita Carter, American soprano, will appear in Tuesday's assembly. Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Miss Carter has been singing since she was four, and when she was thirteen, she took up music as a career. Studying in New York under Oscar Seagle and later with Nadia Boulanger, she has sung with many oratorio societies and in concert. Miss Carter was the leading soprano with the Philadelphia Opera Company, and has appeared with the Boston Symphony, the' National Symphony Orchestra, and the CBS .orchestra, under Howard Barlow. Next Friday's assembly is the dance recital by Eleanor King. Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference. Mr. E. L. Lindman of the state department told of the individual differences in children. Mrs. Beryl Bruff of Lowell School accepted the challenge for the schools of the state of Washington. Then followed a symposium on special service agencies and departments which are ready to help the schools: Mr. W. H. Dutton gave a summary of the morning session. Miss Erickson adjourned the meeting to go to Edens Hall for luncheon. At one o'clock in the afternoon the Workshop in Academic Problems was conducted by Miss Erickson, and the Workshop in Problems in Vision was conducted by Miss Elizabeth Mills of the State Depart- (Continued on Page Three) Pan--American Show Concludes Today The Pah-American gt; Art Exhibit being shown daily in the studio of the Art Department of Western Washington College I will be shown •for the last time today.

''"'" " Much Needed Staff Directory Board Under Construction Do you know where to find the office of your history teacher? If a visitor asked you, could you direct him to librarian's office or the office of the janitor? Nearly every student on the campus has at one time been in this embarrassing predicament, where he cannot locate a particular faculty member. For the past three years plans have been projected for a guide which would solve the problem. Though none of these plans ma- , terialized, a start on a "directory was made this spring by Lorna Jean Booras and Marilyn Anderson, WW Collegian staff members. This summer another staf member, Pat Bellingharn, is working on this catalogue of offices. Upon completion, the directory, which will be of wood construction, will carry the names and office numbers of ail faculty and administrative assistants, listed alphabetically, under department "headings. As. now planned, the directory will be placed inside the entrance to the main building on the left hand side of the stairway., Next Industrial Trip To Plywood Plant The next industrial tripwill be taken through the Plwood plant on Tuesda^ afternoon, July 18th.

The group went on record favoring the granting of liberal arts degrees by the teacher training colleges. PLANS DELAYED No" plans were developed at the meeting regarding procedures to secure passage of the bill. Dr. Haggard, stated he felt the group would wait until after the November elections before furthering their plans.' Included in the budget plans were allotments for the proposed new buildings on the campus. Among the future structures are the men's dormitory, a new industrial arts building, and ' improvements to the heating plant. Ellensburg is also planning to make changes on. its .campus.

With no more warning than an almost inaudible swish, a portion of Mt. Baker swooped down upon an unexpecting party of young collegiate hikers. When the slide had completed its mission of death, a count of the party revealed that six of its members were missing. JULIUS DORNBLUT, ALICE JAMES, MAYNARD HOWATT, HOPE WEIT- .MAN, VENE FISHER, and BEULAH LINDBERG did not answer roll call which was sounded off .by hike leaders, ,L. A. McGee, Chet Ullin and Don Cross. They were dead. Death is a five letter word that means a lot. Not only does it mean just dying, but what after that. Those six young people, climbing Mt. Baker, full of happy thoughts, didn't want to die, but that's the way death is. You never know. That's why out of due respect and in memory of those people, we, who are still alive, should think more about the meaning of the word. Maybe it's just fear that doesn't let us think too strongly on the subject. If it is fear that does it, let it be so. For it is not a fear that deprives one of the use of his reason, but rather o fear that clarifies the atmosphere of the mind and sharpens the powers of reason itself. It is not fear that causes the mind to be "sicklied" with the pale cast of thought, but rather the mind that has become sluggish through unrestrained passion, the mind of the person that adopts the philosophy of eat, drink and be merry, but without the thought that tomorrow one may die. He is satisfied to know that he is alive and well. He rarely reflects on why he is at all or on what is the An architect's plans of a Memorial for those students who lost their lives on the slopes of Mt. Baker five years ago are now almost completely fulfilled. Situated on the hillside between Edens Halland the administrative building on the Campus, this memorial lacks only the addition of mountain shrubbery and the bronze name plates. Name placques for the six students will be placed on the inside of the rock wall which has been so designed as4o form a bench. Bronze, which will be used'for the plates will not be purchased until after the war. The memorial has been planned with the thought that students will use the memorial as a place for lounging, sun bathing, or studying. A committee, composed of WWC students and Miss Hazel Plympton, ultimate meaning and purpose of life *? department, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, who was a member of The memory of those six young people will live long in the hearts of the faculty and the school. You just don't forget things such as that. A memorial has been erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate plaques as soon as the war ceases. The following is a short poem written especially for BEULAH LINDBERG, ALICE JAMES, HOPE WEITMAN, JULIUS DORNBLUT, VENE FISHER and MAYNARD HOWATTc The author is Charles E. Butler. Former WWC Reference Librarian. . MEMORIAL POEM Now you will be forever young: Nowyou will never grow old in a silence, knowing the early music sung. For you now there will never be the slow breaking Of the early dream, the abandoned undertaking, The fine plans forgotten and put aside There will be none of this for you now: you were young when you died. You will never listen now for music finished: For you the song ends on the high note, unfaltering, undiminished. And you will be forever climbing upward now,'the long splendid climb: Weariness can never hold you back, nor the world, nor Time. Goodbye: • the dream endures. You will be young forever; the heights will be .forever yours. the industrial arts staff, worked with architects to plan this monument!

Then followed observation of classroom procedure in which special attention was given to individual differences among pupils. There were nine groups of observers, each group going to a different classroom in the Campus school. Dr. Grim conducted a tour of the whole Campus Elementary School Building before luncheon.l The afternoon session was a Workshop in the Problems of Hearing and a Workshop in the Problems of Speech. The conference was adjourned at 5 o'clock. Tragic Outing Remembered Today is the fifth anniversary of the Mt. Baker tragedy, which killed six former members of the student body during a summer quarter hike up the steep slopes of the mountain. The accident occurred on a Sunday morning in the month of July, The party of 25 WWC students were trudging their way along beneath the Roman Wall on the last stage of the hike. Six of the party were swept to their death with only two bodies being recovered. As it gathered up momentum the avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the group. Early reports had it that the six victims were in a group when struck were discounted by stories of the survivors, who told of the almost selecting nature of the disaster. The body of Alice James, then president of Edens Hall, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy overhang, while the body of former Collegian editor, Julius Dornblut was discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice.

Therefore, we must have well-trained men and women; schooled in good ideas and ideals, with right motives and a clear understanding ofvthe truths we hold to be self-evident: That "every - man is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and these men and women must be and will be ready to do die, if need be, for these principles, in order that a ;; lasting and permanent peace will be the result of this terrible de-v bade.

"I have been in several bombing raids and it is ' a very helpless feeling. The best thing to do is hit the foxhole and stay down. The Japanese are in for a lot of trouble in the next few months. As the news indicates we are doing all right out here. It is impossible to defeat an outfit like the United States Armed Forces. We have something to fight for and the enemy lacks that one factor.' Jim's address is First Lieutenant James Junkin, USMCR, Hdq. Co. 3rd Bn., 1st. Mar., Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, California. Lt.

We use men who have been out in the fleet for editing and processing work since they know the situation.. Two of our analysts just returned from participation in the invasion. Obsevations such as theirs are extremely valuable in shaping a practical and effective training program." Second Lt. Ray E.
