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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We should be thankful.not to have to worry about forest fires in this section at this time of year. Whatever "the shortcomings of our state, fire weather around the first of November isn't one of them. Talk of fires recalls the time when a farm Well in Massachusetts went dry, and fighters fell back on kegs of fermenting cider. Later came the ordeal of bringing the firemen under control. COUNT OF THE WILD Wild animals in Uncle Sam's 158 national forests are increasing rapidly, the forest service tells us in its annual "census report.".. There are 1,742,000 antelope, bear, deer, elk, moose, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep, compared to 1,493,000 a year ago. We like to hear that. But the Forest Service would make a big hit with its public if it would tell us more about how a wild animal census is taken. For instance, just how does one of the enumerators go about counting the grizzly bears? Despite the fondness of some grizzlies for tourist's candy, the job of enumerating the big bruins might present difficulties. Does the census taker call at the home cave and ask Mrs. Bear whether the old man is native born or naturalized^ and how many cubs the family has raised? Does he ask the lady bear's age? - PITIFUL An Italian woman, Mrs. Virginia Venturoli, recently arrived in this country from Italy with two gold bricks valued at $1,250. They represented the entire life savings of herself and son and she had converted these savings into gold in order to get them out of Italy... On her arrival in the United States she took the bricks to the Federal Reserve bank in Buffalo to convert them into money, only to have them seized by federal officers on the ground that she had not declared them to the customs officers. This u\eek a federal judge ordered the gold forfeited to the government. The United Slates attorney who handled the case agreed that it was "pitiful," but said that under the law, no other course of action other than seizure could have been taken. Pitiful is right but the word does not do the situation justice. It is hard to see what injury the United States of America would suffer as a consequence of this poor Woman bringing into the country $1,250 in gold that was rightfully hers; and hard to see why the law, which could not have been framed to deal with such a situation, should take it away from her. College Deans of Women Talk Problems and Get Acquainted; Dr. Dwight Smith Is Guest 4*2^ : Dr.Lucy gt;Kan Miss Florence Johnson, dean of women, attended Washington Dean of Women's conference last Thursday, Friday, Saturday'and part of Sunday. The conference was held at Dirtyface Lodge near Wenatchee. The purpose of the conference was to acquaint the women with each other and to learn the different views from each college. On Saturday morning they divided into groups to discuss particular problems. There were four groups: state universities, private institutions, junior colleges, and teachers' colleges. Two guests at the conference were Dean Olsen, new dean at the University of Idaho, and Dr. Dwight Smith, Congregational minister from Bellingham. The„ twelve deans held a picnic supper at Soda Springs on Saturday night. Miss Johnson traveled from Bellingham to Seattle by bus where she met Miss May Dunn Ward, dean of women at University of Washington. Miss Ward and Miss Johnson went to Wenatchee from Seattle by automobile and train. "I had a very pleasant trip. I enjoyed the autumn colors on the trees," Miss Johnson said. o— Friday, October 1A, 1938 Detriment To Health Exists In Gym Kangley Receives PhD. Degree Look What's Coming Well, kiddies, here it is October 14, and it is about that time of the year when this here college has what is called Homecoming, it seems like the old grads come back and clutter up the place and there is a football game and a dance and a lot of stuff. Well, now, this here Homecoming this year comes No-, vember 19 as the crow flies: Even if the crow don't fly, the editor says it comes on November 19 anyhow. (Hey, Cooper, how about introducing me to that Christensen gal.) It seems like there won't be any freshman bonfire burned down by the "sophomores" this year, cause the school doesn't want to pay any more hospital bills. I guess the freshmen will build it the day before the night of the big game. And don't think it ain't a big game. Eastern Washington College of Education from Cheney plays our football team and boy what a game it will be, I hope. As Soo Yong would say, "Afgrdzgughym dlewlly oski-dok!"

The thesis of Miss Kangley's dissertation is "Poetry Preferences in the Junior High School." Her work is at present being printed and is soon to be published. Dr. Kangley has received many favorable comments concerning her thesis from professors at Columbia, all of whom consider this dissertation as extremenly well written and unusual in its scope. In regard to the merit of Dr. Kangley's thesis is the following quotation from a letter written by Esther Anson at Teachers College, Columbia: "In our- advanced curriculum couree,-wMchis'Wofkhigiisri the reconstruction and revision of the Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, curriculum from kindergarten through high school, Dr. Bruner told us to read Lucy Kangley's dissertation on poetry choices. He said Dr. Abbott, who is one of the professors working on the Jenkintown project, recommended it very highly and that this dissertation is the greatest contribution to the field of junior high school literature that has been made. Not only that, but it is one of the best contributions to the teaching of English that has been done." ^There's no sense wasting time examining feet during the present medical exams. We'll all have athlete's foot inside of a month; that is, if the health authorities don't close the gym before then. Why? For the simple inexcusable reason that there is no antiseptic pad before the showers' in the dressing rooms. The absence of said disinfecting pad has been a detriment to the sanitary condition of the PE building ever since its erection. Many a carrier of that dreaded foot. ring worm, ath- : tete's foot, has stepped into the showers and spread germs in all directions. Many an unknowing person has likewise • stepped in the same showers and wondered ever after where he (or she) had contracted scaly feet! Why can't such a danger and detriment be removed easily and sanitarily by the immediate location of an antiseptic pad before the showers in both dressing rooms? —B. L. Football Is Theme Of SophPaity Using the theme of-football, the sophomores will have the first Class party of the year. It will be held tonight at 8 o'clock in the campus school gym. AH are urged to attend as there will be a surprise. The theme of football is to be carried out in the fashion of giving the boys and girls cards as they go into the dance to be matched later in the evening for a novelty dance. • The boys will be given a card in the form of a man carrying a football and the girls will be given a football. Following are the committee members, each of whom is a co-chairman of his committee: Advertising, Bill Ridder and Bill Fowler; novelty, Lois Reid, Jane Templin, Gage Chetwood and Evan Hill; decoration, Marion Jones, Stan Lapinski, Helen Lindstrom, and Chuck Durr; refreshments, Jean Carver, Jean Morgan, Betty Folley, and Dorothy Schaus; cleanup, Hollis Thiel and Murray Healy; arrangement of faculty sponsor, Barbara Booth.

On this night the swimming pool and the main gym are set aside for the members of the faculty, office force, their wives and husbands, and SAM FORD. This year a new scheme has been devised, whereas, bridge tables will be placed upon the balcony, overlooking the pool, for those who do not wish to swim or play games. Classes were rudely interrupted last Friday morning by falling plaster, which littered the floor with debris, in the hall between room 208 and 209. Dampness was blamed by Mr. Ensign, head janitor. To keep plaster from continuing to fall, Mr. Ensign was instructed by President Fisher to tear down the hanging plaster which had not fallen and also to get a carpenter. Monday the damage was repaired and after a new coat of paint the hall will be in j good shape again. _ I Other damage during the past' week included the partial destruction of several trees from a high wind storm of Wednesday. The storm left the campus littered with broken branches and leaves. Registration Scene SUGGESTION •*.

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

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

'•— o Skiing Movies Shown Technique Class Look H^e First Before You Cut For those freshmen not so sure about attednance regulations the Viking is printing a digest of the most important rules. Class attendance is required at all times. Absences are excused only for reasons of illness or injury certified by the Health department, or in cases of emergency, by the registrar, or at the request of some authorized member of the registrar's staff. Absence from class work hampers satisfactory performance. Therefore, when the number of unexcused absences per quarter in any given course exceeds the number of weekly class meetings, registration in that course will be cancelled with a recorded mark of failure. A petition for readmission will be considered by the scholarship committee only in exceptional cases. Assembly Attendance Required Student assemblies are an essential feature of college life; hence, attendance is required and excuses are granted only in cases of ill health or in cases of emergency. If the number of unexcused assembly absences exceeds three in any given quarter, registration of- the student will be suspended with reinstatement possible only by petition to the Attendance committee. The registrar's office will keep a record of excuses for each student. Under this system, any instructor or staff member responsible for the absence of a student or groups of students, such as teams, student teachers, classes on field trips, will report excuses to the registrar's office on or before the day on which the absence occurs. Whenever the number of absences reaches the maximum allowed, the instructor will report that fact to the registrar's office where account will be taken of excuses and any remaining margin if unexcused absences reported back to the instructor. Absences To Be Checked In any case where cancellation of registration resulting from excessive absences followed by a petition for reinstatement occurs the chairman of the Scholarship committee will consult with the instructor involved to determine the status of the student's work, his attitude, and any other pertinent information. After consideration of this data and after conference with the student, the committee will take action re-arding readmission. Absences from assembly will be checked by the registrar's office and the Attendance committee properly notified in any case where action must be taken. Guild Presentation Is Comedy "Mr. Pirn Passes By," a whimsical comedy, is to be presented by the theater guild starting November 9 to 12. This play deals with a troublesome occasion in the household of a conservative English country gentleman because of the faulty memory of the well-meaning Mr. Pim. In the course of action, in which a request for a letter of recommendation is made, Mr; Pim implies that his hostess' former husband is not dead, but alive. Ski movies will be shown at the Larrabee school, 7:30 p. m. in the auditorium on Thursday. The Adult Education division of the Works Progress administration is offering a course in skiing as part fof the evening school program. A beginning course in skiing technique will be given and ski. napvies. will be shown at most meetings. Attention will be given to exercises to tone the skiing muscles as preparation for the coming season.

XLI—NO. 30 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Tuesday, May 8, 1945 GERMANY THROWS SPONGE IN; JAPS LEFT President Truman Confirms Unconditional Surrender "Victory is but half done", stated President Harry S. Truman in his official V-E Day confirmation message to the American people at 6 a. m. (PWT) this morning. Simultaneously Prime Minister Winston Churchill made his official proclamation to the British people. It was planned Marshall Joseph Stalin would make a similar report to the third great Allied nation. President Truman reminded the American people that the fighting job will be done only when the last Jap division surrenders unconditionally. He asked that every citizen stick to his job until the last battle has been won. Sunday, May 13, was set aside as a day of prayer by President Truman in his official proclamation. He asked the nation to unite in offering joyful thanks to God who has given us victory. Instead of the usual victory day celebration, he also asked his countrymen to make this a day of prayer to those who have given their lives in this war. Chief Executive Requests Next Sunday Be Day of Prayer The early morning broadcasts today described the scene of the signing of the European Armistice. Colonel General Gustov Jodl was reported as looking as though he wore the death mask as he rose to ask the Allied leaders to show generosity to the German people. All was quiet after the German plea until Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith led the Germans from the headquarters of General "Ike" Eisenhower. The end of the war against Germany brings to a close the greatest conflict in history. The unconditional surrender papers were signed at Reims, Fance, at General Eisenhower's headquarters, "the little red school- « ,± • u „ _ • , ^ house",, on Sunday, May 6. President Harry S. Truman made the formal announcement of German capitulation today. Although Truman has just Th*» nffirial nanorc w A r * been in office for three weeks, he has taken up where the late President Roosevelt left off by joining forces with Stalin oriiciai papers w e re and churchill. The new president is pictured here with the Capital Hill "big four." c (Continued on p»ce Four) ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 May 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Tuesday, May 8, 1945 That Day Here at Last Marshall Directs War From U.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Drive east on Lakeway for about seven miles (fromcampus), then turn left at Lakewood Park. Secluded and available, Lakewood offers a variety ofrecreational activities free to Western, Whatcom Community College and Northwest Indian Collegestudents (with valid student identification). Lakewood is open seven days a week from noon to 8 p.m.weekdays and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. Canoes, kayaks and rowboats are ready to rent whenyou are, but windsurfers and sailboats require a little more effort than handing over student identification. Jeff Davis, program manager for Lakewood, said prospective sailors and surfers must first demonstrate competence. After that, one can obtain a $5 sailing card, which allows the holder to carouse upon the lake for up to three months. Davis said anyone is welcome to use the beach, is limited to students,faculty, alumni and their immediate families. Part of Western since 1928, Lakewood's boathouse wasbuilt in 1981. Many one-credit recreation classes through Western takeplaceat By;iJu|Mkrause;;i (L. toR.) Jun Di Zon, Frances Mateo, and Warren Birmitto take advantage of Lakewood's facilities. the site.Classes in windsurfing, kayaking and sailing are offered in the fall and spring with a $35 lab fee, Davissaid. Classes meet once a week, giving beginners a foot in the door and others more experience.Opportunities for lessons are also available for non-students. "You won't find it (a sailing lesson) cheaper or more comprehensive anywhere else," Davis said. Four sessions run for $35 with a two-to-one,student-instructor ratio. Peoplecan signup at the Viking Union Finance Office, VU 207, to begin anytime. No specific days for lessons are designated. Lounge space that can be used as a banquet room, isalso available for functions, Davis said. Interested groups may call Events Services in the VU, 647-4777,for more information. Hidden between trees and off to the side of Lakewood's beach, lies what is called a "challenge course." Groups from campus or other organizations are welcome to use this course,required. Interested parties may contact the Outdoor Center in the VU, 647-6128. Plenty of summerremains to discover Lakewood's opportunities. Mike Heimer, a Western junior, said he loves Lakewoodbecause, "The docks are really long and are great runways for launching worthy belly flops." â€¢ Ldpii'tthink:I:feel'iijtei|^iptK)w''i6f:a better wayto pay for the building. ; : Sheila Schweitzer, a communicationstheory major';will be graduat- :-ing.in;the;:falLr.. : "I kind of have ^ the: fee; But then I think; where elseare they going to get the jrtdney?" she said.

Summer school teachers Retired professor chosen as elector to receive regular pay LauraKing assistant news/features editor James W. Davis, a retired professor of political science atWestern, has been chosen, with 10 other people, to be a Democratic elector for the state ofWashington. Davis was chosen as a Democratic representative for the second congressional district.The second congressional district includes Whatcom, Island, San Juan, and Snohomish counties. InWashington, there are nine congressional districts and nine electors for those districts, plus one electorfor each senator. Davis is a Clinton supporter, while some democratic electors are for Jerry Brown. Davis said he sees Clinton as a compromise candidate between Bush and Perot. As an elector, Davis may be involved in the process of electing the next president of the United States. The United States chooses its president through a system referred to as the Electoral College. In this system, when peoplego to vote for a president, they aren't really voting for George Bush, Bill Clinton or Ross Perot.Instead, they are voting for a particular party's elector. Currently, Perot isn't on the ballot of all 50states, but he is on Washington's ballot The Electoral College is a "winner take all" system in whichthe majority of the people's votes determines which party's electors will vote for the entire state. ByTina Prather news/features editor James W. Davis, professor emeritus of political science at Western, is a Democratic elector for Washington State. For instance, if the majority of Please see ElectoralCollege, page 4 Although enrollment figures are not completely tallied, Lawrence Marrs, dean of summerschool and dean of the Woodring College of Education, said almost all teachers will be receiving theirregular salary this summer. "There are only two or three teachers who will not be receiving their regularsalary," Marrs said, "And they already know about it." Because summer school is entirely self-sustained,teachers' salaries this summer depended upon summer student enrollment If the budget had not beenmet teachers would have taken a 3 percent budget cut. Marrs said the figures on the budget will notofficially be in until about November. Many of the enrollment figures are still hard to predict because ofmail-in enrollment and workshops talcing place later in the summer. Joe St. Hilaire, acting registrar, saidhe estimates enrollment to be around 3,000 right now. He said he doesn't think it's very likely thatenrollment will go much higher than 3,100. Last year's total summer enrollment was 3,204. Hilaire saidenrollment for the college of arts and sciences is down from last year, and he thinks enrollment for thecollege of education may be down too. However, George Gerhold, associate dean of the college of artsand sciences, said his enrollment is up from last year. "Last year we exceeded our (enrollment) estimate slightly," Gerhold said. This year he said they set their estimate higher, and their enrollment was slightly lower then they had hoped. "It's not dramatic, but it's not trivial," Gerhold said. He said his regularsalaried teachers will be making their full salary. He said he's glad it turned out that way. "It makes foravoiding one depressing meeting." ---------- Western Front - 1992 July 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front ACCENT July 15,1992 Dharma Bums: more than a hard rockirV band By MichaelM. Thompson editor Portland's Dharma Bums bring a new optimism and maturity to Bellingham for their Saturday-night show at the Up and Up Tavern, 1234 N. State St The Bums are closing out a two-and-one-halfmonthtourinsupportof their latest release, "Welcome." The new album, on the independentCalifornia label, Frontier, is a sharp contrast to the Bums' previous album "Bliss," which features songson suicide, rape and the death of a parent. The topics of choice on "Welcome" seem lobe one-to-one personal relationshipsâ€”love songs, for want of a better word. The album's opening track is atypical example. Frontman Jeremy Wilson sings, "I don't want to lie to you / Tell you things that makeyou blue / I don't want to lie to you/Ijust want the light in you." Speaking via a Denver pay-phone,guitarist Eric Lovre said the negativity of "Bliss" and the optimism of "Welcome" reflect the band'sstate of mind at the time each was recorded. "That ("Bliss') was three years ago. Your early 20s are adifficult time in life. By the time we got to 'Welcome,' we were more adjusted to the music business.'Welcome' is more level-headed. I think it shows more maturity," Lovre said. The recording of "Bliss" was delayed for a year due to confusion as to which label would release the album. Frontier, Columbia and PopLlama fought over who would get the band. "We all got into a negative space and thought the music industry was evil,"Lovresaid. "But still, there was optimism. After all, we called it 'Bliss.'" The Bumscompleted a demo deal with Columbia before recording "Bliss," but spumed the label's offer. "Columbiawanted us to be more 'pop,' but we were getting into being heavier. So, we decided to go with Frontier,"Lovre said. Lovre said the band wouldn't rule out a future move to a major label, but have no plans tomove at the present time. It is hard to fit the Bums' sound into one of the music industry's pre-cut,generic molds. The Bums' genre has been labeled: punk-pop, grunge-pop and garage-rock. "I alwaysthink of it as psychedelic rock...Not that we're a hippie band," Lovre said. "More than anything else,we're just a hard rockin' band." "Welcome" contains a broad range of musical styles that demonstrate the Bums are more than just a "hard rockin' band." Songs such as "First Time /Last Time" and "A Push Me Pull Me" evoke thoughts of REM, Roger McGuinn and Buddy Holly without sounding imitative. The"hardrockin" songs are still the staple of the Bums' live show. "We have a harder edge live. I really don'tknow why," Lovre said. That harder edge has come to characterize the .highly publicized Northwestmusic scene, which has been touted as hottest in the nation. Seattle bands have dominated this newscene, but a recent issue of Rolling Stone listed Portland as the Dharma Bums (L to R): Jim Talstra,Jeremy Wilson, John Moen and Eric Lovre new "hot" scene. Lovre said that statement is not veryaccurate. "Portland has a handful of good bands and a couple of clubs. I like to see the Northwest as anarea rather than just Seattle or Portland. "The whole Northwest is at the forefront of music. For the lastcouple of years, the Northwest has led the way in creating a new sound. It's a real creative place," Lovresaid. Lovre said he is glad the tour is ending so he can return to the Northwest. Despite how much heenjoys performing, the road can be Jiring, Lovre said. "It's a hard, hard job," Lovre said "This tour hasbeen night after J night,non-stop.But,Ireallywouldn't } want to do anything else." Mt. Baker Theatrefeatures local talent in 'Lunchtime Theater' By Nicci Noteboom staff reporter The Mount Baker Theatre'saudience will catch a glimpse of Summer Stock's production of "Godspell" today. The performanceis part of the seventh annual "Catch a Rising Star: Lunchtime Theatre" playing every Wednesday through the end of July at the theatre, 104 N.

Kathy Conlan-Phillips, theatre department publicist, said these songs were chosen becausethey are the most upbeat of the production. Two scenes from "Godspell" will also be performed. SaraCall, who plays one of the disciples in "Godspell", said she feels today's performance at the MountBaker Theatre will be good for the company.

"Themarvelous thing is that the local performers have the chance of getting on a big stage and seeing whatit's like." she said. Shaw said "Lunchtime Theatre's reputation is getting so well known people are calling them with interest in participating. This was the first year local theater production group, theBellingham Theater Guild, contributed to "Lunchtime Theatre." The guild, which produces several playseach year at its own theater, kicked off "Lunchtime Theatre" on July 8 with scenes from their productionof Eugene O'Neill's "Ah Wilderness". Shaw said both the Mount Baker Theatre Center and the guildwere pleased with the performance. "They were really excited to be on a big stage and we were tickledto have them," Shaw said. Next Wednesday's show features blues and jazz guitarist Laurette Langille."Lunchtime Theatre" will wrap-up its run on July 28 with a performance by the Guttenhammer Duo ofJudith Widrig, piano, and Grant Donnellon, violin. Though there is always talk of extending "LunchtimeTheatre" into August, Shaw said she feels a one-month run is enough.

Clinton targets 'Boomer* issues By Jeff Quiggle staff reporter Democratic presidentialcandidate Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas has finally chosen a running mate, throwing Sen. Al Gore, D-Tenn., into his second White House bid in four years. The selection of Gore was both predictable andunprecedented. Gore is a man who complements every one of Clinton's political weaknesses. He isstrong on foreign policy, he's a Washington insider, he's perceived as an unshakable family man and, ofvital importance to many voters across the country, Gore is a true environmental advocate with realpolitical power. Clinton's choice also reflects the changing strategy of presidential politics in thisunconventional year. There are two interpretations of the move.The first and most common is that, givena three-way race, it might be politically strategic for the Democrats to shore up a southern base andhope for additional wins in other regions. Preferably, these wins would come in states with largenumbers of electoral votes like Illinois, New York and California. But in contemporary society whereinformation and communication are so advanced they transcend physical distance, Gore is a man ofnational prominence and universal appeal. The Clinton-Gore team may not be as much an attempt tocomer the Bible Belt as to capture the Baby Boomers. "Throughout American history, each generationhas passed on leadership to the next," Gore said Thursday at the governor's mansion in Little Rock. "That time has come again â€” the time for a new generation of leadership for the United States ofAmerica." You can't listen to the youthful Gore make statements like this witnout conjuring up the words of John F. Kennedy:"... the torch has passed to a new generation of Americans." So the Democratshave moved from regional politics to generational politics, a strategy that, if used correctly, makesthem contenders in every state. The presence of Gore will allow environmental groups to rally to theDemocratic Party and will give it undeniable regional influence in the West "Voters couldn't have aclearer choice on the environment," Lucy Blake, of the California League of Conservation Voters, said inthe New York Times. "Clinton and Gore get the green thumbs-up." Even Jerry Brown seems ready now,albeitnotyetofficially, to throw some support Clinton's way. *The selection of Senator Gore reflects arecognition that environmental issues are very, very important," he said, also in the Times. At atelevised press conference Friday, Gore said he has always faced two fundamental criticismsâ€”that hewas too liberal, and that he was too conservative. Gore's wife Tipper led a crusade in the mid-1980s tocensor or label obscene rock albums. This is clearly a conservative view that reflects the senator'sposition on family values. And Gore was one of 10 democrats to break from his party and vote in favor ofthe use of force against Saddam Hussein in 1991. As for Gore's environmental posture, his views aremoderate and progressive, yet hardly radical. Gore simply takes a look into the future, past the nextelection and beyond, and sees the same problems that a virtual consensus of scientists have beenwarning us about for several years. And his environmentalism is hardly of the gloom-and-doom school.Gore offers solutions, and has mastered the ability to study and explain complicated topics. Thesetraits make possible a campaign of substance and real problem-solving that this country sodesperately needs. Perot, responding to the selection of Gore, also seems to be using his same oldstrategy â€” that of not saying anything. "He's a fine man, won- Throughout American history, eachgeneration has passed on leadership to the next. That time has come again â€” the time for a newgeneration of leadership for the United States of America. - Al Gore In watching debates about theselection play itself out on CNN, it became clear that the Republican counterattack would be more oftheir same old tactics. In one interview, Charles Black, a senior campaign adviser to President Bush,used the word "liberal" four times in one sentence and repeatedly referred to Gore's environmentalattitudes as "radical." However, painting Gore as a liberal Democrat and a radical environmentalistmay not be an easy task. derful family, and I think he's an excellent choice," Perot said on NBC's'Today" show. Anyone wanting further comment about anything from Perot will either have to wait orforget about it. So the Democratic ticket is set. It's an unconventional ticket in an unconventional year.Maybe in November, American voters will also break from convention and finally elect an administrationthat is in touch with the salient issues of the late 20th century. p l l i i i i ^ l l l l l l l i i ^ i i ^ l l l lmBmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmimmBmmmmm f i i l i i l l i l P l l l l l l l l i i i i l iElPl lS $40,000/yr!

In this case, the republican electors and the Perot electors would do nothing. "If Clinton doesn'twin, I stay home. It would be the George Bush or the Perot electors that would go to Olympia," Davissaid. "Whoever's ballots are cast are in turn sent to Washington D.C. to the speaker of the house. Hewill then open theresults on the third of January and announce the results. Everyone knows before thatwho won." It takes 270 electoral votes for one presidential candidate to win. Each state has its ownsystem of choosing electors. Somestates appoint electors as honorary positions, while other states likeWashington have the electors voted on by district caucuses. Davis ran for the position and beat fourother candidates. "I like the honor of it, to say that I had been a presidential elector. I've been a delegateto the national convention; now I can say I've been a presidential elector," he said. "Furthermore,this year it could be very important with a three-way race because we don't know what's going tohappen." If Perot does get on the ballot of all 50 states, then there is the possibility that no onecandidate will receive the needed 270 electoral votes. If this happens, then the decision will be left upto Congress. Gerard F. Rutan, a political science professor, said that the decision has not been left to congress since pre-civil war days In 1800, Congress voted 36 times before they decided on PresidentThomas Jefferson, Davis said. If the decision does end up in Congress, each state will have equal vote."Each state has one vote," Davis said. "California has one vote with 30 million people, and Vermont hasone vote with 600,000 people... Little states count as much as California, New York and Texas in theHouse of Representatives." Davis said having such a strong third-party candidate may encourage otherthird-party candidates in the future. He said with the possibility of a three-way tie, there could be a lot ofbargaining among candidates and Congress. "Anything is possible; this is a wild race this year," Davissaid. "We just don't know how it's going to turn out. It's not politics as usual, I guarantee that." Neednetworking ideas? Join a professional organization By Nicole Meyer staff reporter If making thetransition from college to the professional world leaves you baffled, joining a professional group withinyour majormay be worth your while. As with planning a future, joining an organization is never too earlyto do. One group within the business department is the Economics Association. Mary ArmHendryson, faculty adviser for the association, said students get to meet people who are also in thesame major, and the association also provides a level of peer counseling. She stressed the socialbenefits over the professional ones. Economics majors have less defined job prospects than manymajors, she said, and consequently, subjects for speakers and functions are broad. The hope is that the speakers may give the students some career ideas they may not have considered before, she said.Tom Bromet, vice president of the Economics Association last winter and spring quarter, said he got "a feel for the job market" that people not in the association would lack. He said instructors andprofessionals helped students learn what economics majors could do with their degrees. An alumnilist is also being put together by the association so students and graduates already in the field cankeep in touch and help each other in the work force. Hendryson said she thinks most students from theassociation leave with friends in the professional world. If students are apprehensive about joining clubs,Hendryson said it's probably because clubs have a kind of ugly stigma that only "dorks and dweebs"join. She said, "It's not like we get together in Parks Hall 146 and talk about supply and demand curves." When you've declared a major, don'tbe afraid to throw yourself headfirst into the clubs associated with it. Hendryson said being a member of groups such as the Economics Association has a lot more tobenefit you than to embarrass you. Hendryson said perhaps the greatest advantage in joining theassociation is its job hunting seminars. These seminars show students how to write resumes, coverletters and look for jobs. Eventually, she said she would like to see professional job hunters give adviceto the club. Stephen Senge, chair of the accounting department, said most members of theAccounting Society join as juniors. He said about one-half of accounting majors are members of thesociety, and one third of those are actively involved. Besides establishing contacts, the society basically raises student awareness of professional possibilities, Senge said. Students aren't guaranteed jobs if they interact with an accounting firm through the society, butpossible employers do get a chance tosee what Western has to offer, he said. Senge said the three main benefits of the society to studentsare exposure to their prospective field, a greater understanding of the professional world and long-rangethinking. Joining the society as a junior can help students plan more carefully for their field. Whenexposed early in their major, they know sooner what may be required of them once they graduate, hesaid. The society, which is run by students, has self-elected officers. ,Senge said professionals fromthe accounting field come to speak to students.. Meetings usually take place once a week, and areoften held in places around town that are frequented by students. A fee of $10 per quarter .is requiredfrom members because the society is independent from the accounting department. Senge said hebelieves another advantage of the society is that it's geared tohelp foster friendships between students and faculty. Accounting majors are able to interact more closely with each other, while familiarizingthemselves onapersonal level with professors, he said. "Participation in the Accounting Society enriches a student's experience the same way participating in any club would," Senge said. Joining a groupsuch as the society is not a means to find career counseling, he said, it's more of a place to "look,listen, think, talk about it (career possibilities) and come to your own conclusions."

Hull also attended themeeting, and Louis Earle, lounge and book store manager, was present to comment onrecommendations made in the 10-page report. Given most attention by the board of control wereHull's recommendations that: 1. The cash registers be cleared daily, tapes dated and retained, andthat a daily bank deposit be made up and turned into the business office. 2. The sales tax be rung up on the registers and recorded on the books in the same manner as the' federal excise tax. 3. The auditingof books and records be more frequent than twice a year. 4.

SENIORS ATTENTION Orders are now being takenfor Senior announeemenst in the Co-op. All orders must be placed before the end of winter quarter.Whoever prodded an ex-editor of the Collegian into writing "Percentage Player" deserves to be saluted.It's a short-short story about baseball and thoroughly reeks of the great pastime. One matterbothers the critic, though. When the author, Paul Gillie, edited our campus weekly, he had no truck with sports, didn't know a pingpong paddle from a hockey stick.. But now, in his satire on profes-fessionalbaseball, Paul writes of men who chase "fungoes" and scratch "bingoes." Where in the name of RingLardner did he pick up such a home plate familiarity with the game? That Mr. Gillie won't tell. Read thestory, though, because its surprise wind-up is as fresh as a rookie and clever as a pinch-hitter. Mrs.June Gooding's sparkling story of a teacher faced with problems that she can't solve with the help ofJohn Dewey, seems almost of commercial qualityâ€”almost.

A theme w r i t t e n in one of Dr. Edgar Daniel's E n g l i sh classes prompted him to issuequestionnaires to all of his classes. The theme concerned revision of the Artist-Lecture series and theQuestionnaire set out to discover what those revisions should be. According to this sample poll, topchoices for the series would be: a comedy dance team, a baritone or tenor singing popular songs of th e "Old Man River" vintage, and a lecture by a war â€¢ correspondent on battle experiences. The next six in popularity i n -/ eluded: concert pianist, lecture by a popular scientific writer upon the â€¢world of1975, a lecture by a recent writer upon crime detection, famous writer of nonsense verse reciting his poems with commentary, well-known news analyst discussing ILS.-Russia relations, and a hypnotist. Two musical programs, six lectures, and one demonstration made the top nine, out of a choice of 13assemblies, 13 lecture programs, and three demonstrations. Fewest votes were drawn by: a trained dogand pony act, a juggling act, including sword swallowing, a woman singing operatic arias, a magician,and a string quartet. / Feel Awful; Now You Feel Awful Too Oh miserable month of March Howmaddening are you.

' Reporters: Neva Aarstad, Robert North who didall the work. Of these same eight, only six were there to help clean up. When various members of theJunior class were asked to help there were a million excuses. What we would like to know is "Wherewas the Junior class?" Why was all the work left to just a few (even then, most of the help came fromother classes.)' After all, no one was getting paid for the work, but it still had to be done. We were sorrywe couldn't pay for the hours put in. Evidently, this is the only way we can entice anyone of our classmembers to give out with a little cooperation. Eight people worked from 5:30 to 11:30 Friday night;Saturday it was from 8 until 6:30, and Sunday, with only a group of six, it was from 1 until 6:15. Aftertalking to several people on last year's committee we found that there had been poor cooperation fromthe Junior class and that it has been that way ever since the Junior class took over the prom from thePublications department. The "JUNIOR PROM," so called, is a farce as far as we of the Junior class who served as committee members are concerned. Either let the Junior class put on the prom or elseforget it altogether. We would at this time like to extend our thanks to every one who helped in someway or another, and especially those who were there through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You arethe ones that really put the prom on.â€”Members of the Junior Prom committee. DERIDES INQUIRY ToThe Editor, with special notes to L. Friberg, N. Jackson, L. Cas teel, and J. Sutherland: Perhaps thegravest mistake a "Letter-to-the-Editor writer" c an make is to issue a loud and indignant cry of protest when the protest is based on a false premise. Last week, four such letters were published in the"Collegian," concerning the choir's KOMO broadcast. On behalf of the choir, I should like to givethose four letter- writers a brief lesson in logic. First, it would have been a good move on our fourfriends' parts to eporters: rveva naisiau, iwuci i nunu- hnaa,vvec lfuouuinidu ouuuit/ wvvhiiou wWAroUUte*-tuhme- Â±s gt;cvr.i+prvt.- rup, Marian Stefani, James Simon, Doing this, they WOUld have found Colleen Sullivan, Win Smith, Â«Â°*y t h a t n o t Mr . Regier, but the script- Phillips. ' writers of KOMO's "Voices of the Northwest" wrote the copy. Also, had they waited till the choir had returned, they would havefound that Mr. Regier was not allowed to check the script before the show. Second, it would have beenthe correct thing to do to investigate the circumstances which brought about the use of this song on theprogram. A couple of the songs sent in to the producer to be okayed could not be used. A last minutesubstitution was necessary, and, rather than have the choir learn a new song, Mr. Regier consented tothe use of his "Fairest in the West." The choir used this song throughout the tour as a closingselection. Each time, our student body president; Dick Pederson, introduced the number as "a tributeto Western Washington College," not as an alma mater. At performances such as the public concert inEverett, at which several WWCE alumni were present, it was announced that, "alumni needn't stand, asthis is not Western's alma mater!" If the Misses Friberg, Jackson, Casteel, and Sutherland have readthis and will count to ten, perhaps they will cool down enough to write a sensible letter of apology to Mr.Regier. We feel he deserves a great deal of credit and thanks for composing a beautiful and original"tribute to Western Washington College." Signed: DICK DALE, On Behalf of the WWCE Choir.COMMENDS ASSEMBLY Dear Editor: I would like to submit this letter to- our student body incommendation of the fine impression they gave of our school to the Central Variety Show cast. TheCentral students were overly generous in their expression of thanks for the friendliness and warmthof reception that was extended them. I t would certainly be out of order not to extend laurels to theCentral cast for bringing such a wonderful show of popular entertainment to Western. No one on ourcampus was aware of the real effort that the Central students went to in order to bring their show here.This week has been the week of final exams at Central. Everyone concerned was sorry that the Centralshow had to be scheduled at such an inopportune date so that many of our-students were preventedfrom attending. The attendance at the peformance has been estimated at about 550 to 600. Although aproper reception could not have been held without the help of a large number of our students, I feel that a very hearty and special "Thank you" should be given to Barbara Holmstrom, Virginia Mike, a: red Irishsetter, thinks t h a t progressive education is a wonderful thing. His interest was shown by theattention he paid to the activities in the mock classroom on stage during the faculty assembly lastTuesday. At one o'clock that same afternoon he came upon what, he thought to be another progressiveeducation class. In this he was mistaken. It happened to be Dr. Murray's History 106 class. I t looked as if it was going to be as much fun as the one in the morning had been so he entered. They tried toshow him politely to the door. Mike dug in. Finally Dr. Murray with the aid of a husky student removedhim bodily from the room. But being Irish Mike did not give up. With tears in his eyes Mike put his frontpaws on the window sill of the door and begged^ to be let in. The class's answer was" to remove him into the,, "outer Siberia" of the lawn. Progressive education is a wonderful thing. And we can't let it go tothe dogs, can we? â€”Jim Simon. more stormy hoc session caused by report -â€ž. (Continued fromPage 1) quired in the "Co-op Reorganization Plan." This has not been collected in years, yet thefaculty receives a 10 percent discount, on all purchases in lieu of a share in dividends. I n view ofthese recommendations Earle replied that: 1. Nothing has been done concerning clearing of the cashregister because he has been very busy. A daily deposit of money may be a bother to the businessoffice. It is unlikely that the register could be tampered with because he is in sole possession of the key. 2. Sales tax has not been recorded on the register because of the pressure for speed as the result of the register being used by three girls simultaneously. 3. The quarterly basis of the store makes amonthly financial statement and inventory impractical. 4. Some of the items listed at no Hasbrouckand Jeanne Baylor. Barbara "put in many hours of work, and did a wonderful job of promoting thepublicity and ticket sales of the show. Sincerely, Larry Wilson. cost in the inventory have been inherited" by the store. A sale of some of these "dust collectors" has been suggested. 5. For years thisfaculty fee has not been collected. The total amount of faculty business has been fairly insignificant inthe Co-op, some of the larger items being fountain pens, etc. Using alternate methods of dividendpayments suggested by Hull as a basis, the board presented some recommendations of i ts own.These were: cutting out dividends and lowering prices on books and Co-op materials; giving out aconsiderable amount of the profits in dividends this year; giving the excess profit to the student unionfund; and the spreading of this year's profits over a period of several years. "I have nothing to say aboutthe use of these alternate methods of dividend distribution," stated Earle. "I leave the matter to the board of control to act upon. As long as you don't go overboard it is allright by me." Gillie suggested that an o p en meeting to consider the matter be held with the entire student body. HURLEY'S DRUG MARTELMO T.

Between acts, Dr. Merle Kuder ably demonstrated various methods of using c o r n , following directions of a cookbook entitled "Outcome Unanticipated." A five piece jazz band composed Â©f Laurence Wright, Dr. M. F. Ced-erstrom, Don Walter, Donald Irish, and Charles Rice, favored the audience with "When You Wore aTulip" and "Whispering." Dr. Don Blood crooned "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue" and "Cry,"accompanied by the band, after which the band played a medley of old time songs, and a rendition of"So Long." Laurence Brewster, impersonating a colonel from Iowa, portrayed his version of "CurfewShall Not Ring Tonight." A well (?) disciplined elementary classroom scene was humorously enactedby Dr. Keith Murray, Ralph Thompson, Albert Culverwell, James O'Brien, Miss Marjorie Muffly,. MissRuth Weythman, Dr. Raymond Hawk, Dr. Alan Pawelek, Harvey Gelder, Dr. Irwin Hammer, Dr. Herbert Taylor, Miss Pat Hieber, Howard Critchfield, Justin Longnecker and Dr. M. F. Cederstrom.

The editors areconcerned mainly with selection of the contents. That's a big job in itself, but the good minds on theeditorial board would be doing the magazine a valuable turn by editing the copy. Despite lack of polish,the Gooding storyâ€”"Disarming Combat"â€” shows studious effort on the author's part to write realfiction. The characters breathe, he dialogue rings with life. And the teacher's problems are human."Ethel," Mrs. Gooding's teacher asks. "Why did you hit Mike?" Ethel's reply: "Heâ€”heâ€”said I wasâ€”dirty. And he said myâ€”myâ€” feetâ€”" Mrs. Gooding, who may or may not know an Ethel, allowsthe teacher in her story to whisper: 'Testalozzi, get thee in front of me! Campus school . . . what do I say now?" Parts of "Kinship," by Martha Rank, glow. Other parts sputter. The story is about "niggers," atired theme that Miss Rank succeeds in not working to death. Two lines describing a man's suddenpang of insight are excellent: "It saw color in skin as color in natureâ€”a necessary complement to onemighty whole. It saw divinity-in ebony." ' One of the most humorous tales published in the past twoyears by The Writer is Roger G r a y ' s "Armageddon." The trouble with such a satire, however, is that people read between the lines. And between those of "Armageddon" is seen a terrifying pictureâ€”therise of one department in a college at the expense of all others. It's doubtful Roger meant anythingpersonal. Regarding the freshmen themes, Janet Sutherland shows considerable wit in "Bus-Stationing." Good English and several interesting facts are found in Pat Gibson's "A Small Town and History." .Poetry is represented by Marylin Hall, Jacqueline Willette, and Paul Gillie. These persons no doubt willbe burned at the metric stake by their English profs this week. Illustrationsâ€”clean and imaginativeâ€” were done by Alexander Zawacki. One feature of the drawings is the apparent fact that Zawacki read the stories which he illustrated. Other students whose work appeared were Elaine Daverin, Jack L.Young, Joanne Luther, and Marilyn Madsen. Student editors were Kenneth Forseth, Betty Foss, andBill Tudor.

Magnolia Phone 265 Band Concert Is Well Received After a verysuccessful tour, tht Western Washington college ban* presented a well received program of concertnumbers last Friday evening in the college auditorium. It seems that the program was sufficientlyvaried, eveÂ» t h o u g h s e v e r a l numbers were repeated from the l a st year's repertoire. Animpressive opening number displayed fine control and technique executed by the t cornet choir.Actually, the writer thought, this group exhibited the best ensemble presentation of the evening.Some of the highlights of the program were: the very intelligent presentation of "The Little Bullfinch," by Carolyn Crook, piccolo; the amusing and entertaining number by Alfred Lunde and the band, "TheFine Musician," the ever popular "Flight of the Bumble Bee," played by Robert Brown, cornet; and thefine incidental solo by Robert Boko in "Orpheus in Hades," overture. One comment that may be madeabout this group is that most of the personnel in one ^ way or another have a special talent. It is good tosee these talents being used. The most interesting number, the reviewer believes, was the "FrenchQuarter Suite." The third part, "St. Paul's Cathedral," was especially impressive; however, this may havebeen due to the fact that the best continuity andv effort seemed to be extended only to the more martialand modern numbers. â€”Gail Dillon SHORELINE TEACHERS VISIT .

It was t h e i n t r a m u r a l playoff for t h e tri-league championship. The three league topping lt; teams fought to the f i n al whistle in a desperate attempt to gain that one or two point margin that might spell victory. I n"A" league it was the Townies who drew a bye for the first round of the playoffs. In "B" league it wasthe Laundry Five who had the day before managed to snap the tie for first with the Steam Rollers.Playing the Laundry Five were t he champs of the "C" league, Daniels.' I t might be interesting to note t h a t the Townies rolled 480 points to their opposition's 396 points; the Daniels team gathered 412points against their opposition's total of 347; and the Laundry Five garnered 364 points while theiropposition got 258. On Wednesday afternoon, as a result of the previous day's victory by the LaundryFive over Daniels by a one point margin, the Laundry Five faced the powerful Townies. I t was a tightgame the first quarter and remained so most of the second quarter. The half-time score was 21-15.The second half was a case of kill or be killed. Every basket was a veritable wound in the flesh of theother side as the minutes slipped by and the time for the championship decision drew near. At thefinal gun the Laundry Five emerged as the victors by a" lt;wae basket,'- one shot margin. The finalscore was Laundry Five 30, Townies 28.

The hikers, who will be transported,. by truck to the foot of the trail, will hike from there to the cabin. As there has been a heavy snowfall around the cabin, it is expected that hikers will have to break, their own trail during the latter part of the hike. The group probably will be on the trail for at least four hours. CAMPFIKE PROGRAM PLANNED A gigantic campfire program led by diet Ullin of Seattle has been planned for Saturday evening. Short hikes will be taken from the cabin during Saturday and Sunday. The group will return early Sunday evening. Hikers are asked to bring their own trail lunch; all other meals will be furnished. Bedding will be furnished. Other suggestions include an extra pair of shoes or slippers, an extra pair of socks, a flashlight, long^ pante_ if shorts are worn, sun glasses, and a heavy sweater or jacket. ~ "If everyone also brings a good appetite and a good disposition, I know everyone will have a good time," was the comment of Jim Junkln, hike chairman.

The girls, working under the sponsorship of the American Legion, sold the bonds and stamps in the Legion Auxiliary booths in downtown Bellingham According to W. F. Kellogg, the manager of Montgomery Ward who had charge of the sales, the college girls have done the best of any group that has sold stamps on the streets, because they put themselves into it so whole-heartedly. During the three hours that they were selling they netted close to $250. WORK IN TWOS After a word of encouragement from Mr. Kellogg the girls left in pairs to the booths. Those working were Edith Lehman and El- (Continued on Page Four) / • The air is heavy of late with the portent of colossal things to" come in Europe. The news flashes, though guardea, seem to indicate that the long awaited German drive through Russia has started. Nothing of moment, as far as actual combat Is concerned, has happened within' the last few days; yet ~ it might not be going too far to say that Monday's communique from the Russian front was of the utmost significance. At that time it was admitted that the Russians had lost the initiative on the Kharkov front for the first time in many weeks This fact together with the loss of the Kerch Penninsula would seem to indicate that the Germans still possess mechanical superiority hi all .sectors; and mechanical superiority is what wins battles these days. Measured by standards of last fall's fighting, it doesn't -seem unduly pessimistic to expect things to go very badly for the Allies on the Eastern front all this summer. If they go as badly as they did last summer and fall, it is rather hard to imagine where the Eastern front will be when the next Russian (or will it be German?) winter sets in. WESTERN FRONT DESIRED, Oppressed with this foreboding, the English commoner under the leadership of the Labor Party has been agitating for a second front in the West to alleviate, in part at least, the brunt of the German drive on the Caucasus. One speak-, er of note ha* said that if the Germans, with all their Eastern commitments, can still .be said to WW Ensemble Grad Dinner Leads Off To Perform w A V / , in Assembly Commencement Week Bushell Leads Musical Group Presenting Compositions From Four Centuries • Music composed during fomv different centuries will be played by the WWC String ensemble in assembly next Tuesday.

Board Relaxes On Fish Bake • Gooseberry Point was the scene of the annual Board of Control salmon bake and picnic which was held Wednesday afternoon. Attending were past, present, and newly-elected student body officers, Board members, and faculty advisers to the.Board. The racy game of baseball was quickly terminated when the time for the "unveiling" arrived. The salmon which had been prepared in the traditional manner by Dr. E. A. Bond, mathematics and salmon-bake expert, was taken from the bed of hot stones in which it had been baking for several hours. WJith much pushing and shoving, the food line formed; everyone passed by salmon and other assorted vittles, filling their plates. That is, everyone but Dr. Lucy Kangleyand Art Clark, the non-fish-eaters, who exclusively broiled a' minute steak over the open fire. Following fooc, Bill Wilder entertained the group with a seaweed rope-jumping routine which fell rather flat (not the routine or the seaweed.. Mr. WJilder!). Contentedly full of food, and Invigorated by scenery and Seabreeze, Board members then journeyed home to anxiously await next years* picnic.

(Rumor has it, to study. Ha! Ha!) Howevei two traitors, Doris Yngve and Inga Langland, couldn't stand it on Sunday, and fled to East Stanwood, returning Sunday night with food enough for a week. Harborview feeds again! Latest dirt has it that two of the Hags (unidentified) had a picnic last Wednesday on Sunset Heights, also acquiring beautiful sunburns. However, we cannot print this news because the house reporter did not mention names. Too bad!

And more about Miss Rantanen, social leader (we guess) of Enger hall: last week-end she entertained Allen Weddie of Seattle. • DOYVN£ HALL: Sole desertion of last week-end was that committed by Peggy Bryan, who fled the coop in favor of a week-end at Point Roberts, the most isolated spot in the U. S. Oh, Aileen Baker is also up to her old tricks again, going to you-know-where for you-know- what-day. There is little to report in the .food line, except that no one has eaten for a week. However, it is hoped that the situation will be remedied by first-of-the-month checks. Terminal Test Scores Favorable to WWC Students • Terminal tests results revealed that the typical student at WWC stood at the 56 per centile of students from all over the country who took tests in English and Contemporary affairs. These statistics were obtained from the booklet, "The College Sophomore Appraises His Curriculum" based on comprehensive tests given a year ago. WWC students scored best on the Social and Economic event sections of the Contemoprary affairs test. The lowest scores were on amusements. The typical WWC sophomore stood at the 46 percentile. . . According to Dr. C. C. Upshall of the Research department the sophomores are to be congratulated because, the tests were given in all types of colleges': four year, junior, and teachers colleges. To quote Dr. Upshall, j "It is especially good because entering freshmen of WWC usually measure below other college groups."

PttSlCOLA fi M * «iy by Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co of Bellingham xrM 3m*2 MANUFACTURED BY PACIFIC COAST PAPER MILLS BeUtaghain, Washington ---------- WWCollegian - 1942 May 29 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, May 29, 1942 Western Washington-College of Education, Bellingham, Washington -'n..-t- On the Sidelines . . . with warren beecrofi CONFERENCES CONDENSATIONS With the boys back from their brief foray on the "eastern front" and, crisp communiques.being issued by strategists Carver and Lappenbusch from their GHQ in the PE building, the outcome of the Winko conference meet still may remain as confusing as the gas rationing run around. Here's how the chips stacked when the last sprinter crunched across the finish line; as the final plunking smash scalped the fuzz from a tennis ball; as the last gleaming golf ball staggered across the green and rattled home into the c u p . .. Under the tutelage of Sam Carver, WWC's golf team won their ninth consecutive championship. Ever since the present three-man system was adopted nine years ago, Carver has been able to round out championship teams. Far behind the Viks in second place tie, trailed St. Martins and Central Washington... In and on the oval the Viks did not show up so well. Central Washington romped away with 75 points and first place, straggling arrears was Eastern Washington with 46; St. Martins with 17; Pacific Lutheran with 14; and the Vikings last with 12 points. Central Washington also walked off with conference tennis honors. Eastern Washington took second, while the'Vikings eased in third. HIGHLIGHTS Saddest highlight of the conference meet for WWC was when Fitz-simmons, of Eastern Washington college, cracked the 10-year-old mile record of 4:32,8, set by Norman Bright of Western Washington. Fitz-simmons brushed three-tenth of a second off Bright's old mark. Brightest highlight of the meet Was Ken McAulay's first place in the pole vault. The magnificent "Mouse" easily eased over the eleven foot marker to clinch first in the event. He didn't go any higher for two reasons ( I ) he didn't have to, and (2) 'cause nobody would let him. ON AND ON. And four more Vikings bite the dust...hit the trail...To be exact, Pete Gudyka joined the Army air corps, and left Sunday for Kelly Field, Tex. Pete takes with him memories of three years of WJWC football, a love of the game...also a bum knee, broken hands and assorted scars. The men who played with and against him say he was one of the best sports and most modest fellow on any man's squad. Art Sheppard, prominent in football and on Carver's 1941 golf squad, left the same day, for the same place, for the same reason. Ed Fitch, another member of last season's champion golf taem, left last Saturday morning for Santa Anna and Army air corps. Chuck Keown, dynamic little footballer,- joined the navy—left Wednesday for Can Diego... Yep, it just goes on and on . .. EAR RINGS Remember that spindly legged, gaunt faced, scraggely, black haired Marietta mauler, Walt Baker?.. Well, to you who don't know or remember little "Bake," he was an anemic little dynamo who, for two years, was distance man ~on the Viking cinder squad. For two'years he turned out. For two years lady luck shunned him and he failed to earn his letter. Not 'cause he didn't have what it takes—Walt had plenty on the ball, but a jinx seemed to follow him around every oval. Little Bake enrolled at Portland university spring quarter. As track season rolled around, Walt's feet had another attack of the chronic oval itch. So he turned out. Uh—you guessed it, Walt made his letter this time. When a guy can turn in a couple of 2:03's in the 880 and romp the once around in 51.9, he can earn a sign board in any man's league—Louis Farnsworth, a Bellingham boy and buddy of Walt's set a new record at Portland U this year by pole vaulting 12 feet 7 inches—Jim Rinheart, who attended'WWC last year, was elected sophomore manager for the Husky crew. McAulay Only Winner a$ Viks Lose in - Central Wins Conference Meet For Third Year; Hickenbottom, Munizza Ploce • Western Washington's track and field perfor^ners brought up the rear as far as points were concerned in the big Washington Intercollegiate conference track meet held last Saturday at Cheney. Central Washington's thinclads romped off with the track cup, which has been held by Cheney's Savages for the past two years. The Central runners piled up points in the sprints and the field events to garner a total of 75 points. Cheney captured second place honors with St. aMrtins, Pacific Lutheran, and Western Washington following in that order. Ken McAulay of the Vikings came through with the only first for the Viks by lofting his thin frame over the pole vault bar to gt; win that event at the height of 11 feet. Larry Munizza did his duty by gathering five points in three field events. Ed Hickenbottom, Western Washington's flashy distance man, won points in the mile and two mile to complete the Viks' scoring.

BURNET...Publications Adviser Shiers Sees It Still And Yet (Continued from Page One) threaten the "tight little isle" then it can also be said that the British, are in a position to launch a drive in the West. It also was pointed out that Americans being landed daily in Northern Ireland are abviously not taking a rest tour. They are there for a purpose and what that purpose is, only time will tell. How and where the beach-head for a continental invasion is to be established is now the question. Fiery talk in the House of Parliament will not lessen the difficulty of the job appreciably; nor will it make the undertaking less costly. The Germans apparently hold the trump cards at present and they. are too shrewd poker players to be bluffed out easily. NORWEGIAN COAST CONSIDERED The Norwegian coast around Trondheim has often been mentioned as a suitable place for the launching of an offensive. The only trouble with it is that it could easily be turned into another death trap by a severance of the sea lanes. A psychological objection to it might be that Norway in general has rafher a bad taste in English mouths since the full facts of the German invasion of the country have been ascertained. ITALY POOR INVASION RISK Another possibility would be the Dutch or Belgian coast. This would entail extra-strong air support and a surprising suddenness of attack^ that is no longer possible after theri great quantity of talk that has beeri~i given to the subject. Gibraltar and North Africa are also conceivable as bases of attack; but, as I understand the situation, there are neither the shipping fa-cilities nor ^the convoy ships to United States, China Will Win War gt; Says C. K. Cheng • "We in the United States must be careful of propaganda. There is so much propaganda that the people will become smug and won't put forth so much effort toward winning, the war," said C. K. Cheng as he - waited for assembly time last Tuesday. The slender Chinese professor, C. K. Cheng, of the department of Sociology at the University of Washington, continued with a trace of accent, "I was born and educated in China, and I attended the Tenching university. I came to the' United States in 1937 for post graduate work, and went back to China in 1939. "It was very difficult to get to China even then, I imagine it would be practically impossible now. I had variety in the way of transportation," Cheng laughed. "I traveled by boat, automobile, and rick-shaw. LEARNED ENGLISH FROM FATHER "My father taught me my ABC's, I don't know how he picked up the English language" With an amused expression Cheng answered, "Don't think it's strange to learn English in China, and don't think it's difficult to speak Chinese, because it's just as difficult to learn to speak English." The professor expressed the opinion that it may be a matter of months or years before the war is over; he was very dubious about the end of the war coming within a year. With a half-smile and raised eyebrows Cheng stated that if the Chinese haG one-half the equipment that the Japanese have, his country would have "cleaned the Japs out long ago." Mr. Cheng excused himself to go to the auditorium to speak on China and war in the Pacific. In his speech he brought the fact that "Great Britain is gradually bowing out, and the Dutch and French can not be of much help. The Japanese must be defeated on land and sea. Russia probably won't be in a place to defend the allied nations. Therefore, the burden of defeating the Japanese falls on the United States and China. Cheng told the assembly that the Chinese will prove a great ally to this great bulwark of a nation, the United States of America. make such a long and hazardous sea voyage possible. The fact that recent evidence shows that Italy is the weakest link in a rather strong chain does not prove that an invasion through that country is possible. Not only is the Mediterranean infested with ;^Axis submarines; but the constant ipounding of Malta from the air ?would indicate that the dictators have strong air forces in this sector. Thinking in this way is bound to give one a sense of futility if it weren't for one - saving factor; namely, it leads one to expect the Demonstration Completed Camfi, Coast to Coast I notice that a few of you have trouble standing up on the dance floor. I have that same trouble too, and it was very embarrassing until I read what to do in a situation of that kind. 1. Just lie there; the onlookers will think you have fainted. 2. Get up gracefully; they'll think it was part of the dance. 3.

The first demonstration was concerned with "How to Swim or Drown Your Friends in Ten Easy Lessons." This proved fairly uneventful, but eliciting a few hot tips on how to dispose of an unwanted wife. Disgustingly enough, no one, except participants, fell into the pool. The crew and innocent bystanders then progressed to the big gym to elucidate on various activities altogether too closely allied with exercise. Mass badminton, or organized fly-swatting, was the first feature. Ten women flailing away at a defenseless little bundle of cork and feathers. Progressive education. FANCY DANCING DONE Interpretative dancing followed. This was tentatively entitled, "The Pogo Stick Bounce." These poor little, barefoot girls, did the best they could without any shoes. Next to appear was the PE 51 class, or arrested development cases. They leaped about the floor in high glee and joyous abandon, imitating horses; camels, and other inhuman objects that only a perverted mind could reproduce. These girls are being carefully watched and guided and it is hoped that they might, at some future date, become normal citizens. Apparently the folk dancing was contagious, because at last account even some of the spectators, uninterested in a grade, rallied to the floor to participate in this form of medieval rug-cutting. Progressive education. ». Reviewer Scans Atlantic Monthly • Four of the most noted people who have written articles in the May edition of Atlantic Monthly magazine are: Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, whose article "China Emergent"-tells of the problems to be faced after the war; Clifton Fadiman, who writes his thoughts after reading "War and Peace" by Tolstoy in an article called "The Ghost of Napoleon"; William L. Shirer, author of "Berlin Diary," who writes "The Poison Pen," an article on propaganda, and Serge Koussevitzky, who writes "The Emotional Essence of Brahms." There are two stories, "Dynamite's Day Off," by Robert Easton and "Gift of the Gods" by Nancy Bickel-Frent. "The Children," a novel by Nina Fedorova author of "The Family," is placed in China under Japanese agression. PPPPP

They also discussed their own role in planning Western's budget, and whether budgetplanning should be conducted in accordance with the Faculty Handbook, a thick, 10-year-olddocument declared dead by Faculty Senate President Kathleen Knutzen. The UPC is a FacultySenate committee whose role is to advise the provost on important decisions. The senate chargedtheUPC with formulating a policy on opportunity hiring after the hiring of chemistry professor JoeMorse without a national search for applicants was deemed an "opportunity hire" by theadministration. Morse is the husband of Western President Karen Morse. No written policy onopportunity hires exists for determining whether his hiring was justified. The draft policy the UPCdiscussed called for Western's Human Services Office to serve as an employment clearing housethat See UPC, page 5 Food stamps could be an option for students By Kris Alexander staff reporterSome Western students may qualify to receive food stamps, but may not be aware of it. Others areafraid to receive the stamps because of the bad stigma associated with receiving aid. The WhatcomCounty Food Stamp Outreach Program is dedicated to informing students of their eligibility for foodstamps and helping them to overcome this misconception. Thirty-six percent of Whatcom Countyresidents have income levels below the cut-off line for the Federal Food Stamp Program, but only 8percent receive food stamps, according to information published by the program. Sharon Thompson, program coordinator, attributes this problem to lack of information and the bad impression associatedwith using food stamps. "I think there's a real stigma attached to the food stamp program, anythingthat has to do with accepting aid," she said. "That comes a lot of the times from ... young people whoare used to having everything and they really don't know what it's like to be really poor." Food stampslook like gift certificates. They are printed with dollar amounts and can be used at most grocery stores to purchase food. Prepared foods (such as deli sandwiches) and non-food items, such as alcohol,cigarettes and soap, are not included. Students who file as independent are eligible for food stamps ifthey are enrolled at least half-time at a university, work a minimum of 20 hours per week through workstudy or other employment and have a net income of $568 per month or less ($766 combined formarried couples). Having a dependent child under the age of 6, or under age 12 for a single parent, orreceiving AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) also qualities a student. -,. The FoodResearch and Action Center in Washington, D.C., published apamphlet detailing the myths about food stamps. Some of the misconceptions include the See Food stamps, page 8 Draft Environmental Impact Statement available at Wilson Library for review Two copies of the draft environmental impact statement20-Year Growth Alternatives for the City of Bellingham and Proposed Urban Growth Areas are now inWilson Library for review.

At least 120 car windows smashed in SouthHill area By Pat McCarrell staff reporter Vandals smashed in the windows of five vehicles in a campusresidential parking lot near the Ridge way Complex Sunday night, campus police said. But Bellingham police were handling 120 cases of smashed car windows, mostly in the South Hill area, by last nightSgt. John Browne, evening shift supervisor of the campus police, said there is probably a connection.City police started getting complaints involving smashed car windows at 10 p.m. Sunday. Reports werestill coming in at 5 p.m. Monday as car owners discovered the damage, said Lt. Rick Sucee of theBellingham police. "Never, to my knowledge, has there been anything of this magnitude before," Suceesaid. He estimated the damage at $17,000, "a conservative estimate," he said. Browne estimated thedamage to vehicles on campus at $1,500. Both officers noted that only vehicles parked on the streetwere damaged; and then only street-side windows were broken. "It was probably done from the streetwith a blunt object such as a bat," Browne said. "Cars in the slanted spots were left alone." City policesuspected off-campus damage was caused by a BB or pellet gun between 10 p.m. Sunday and 3 a.m.Monday. Sofar, neither department has witnesses, suspects or leads. "I don't think, given thelateness, there were many witnesses," Browne said. Sucee still hoped witnesses will come forward, hesaid. He asked anyone who knows anything that might help in the investigation to contact Sgt GaryScott at 676-6925. The on-campus cases will be investigated by campus police, but Browne said theinvestigation would be done in cooperation with the city police because of the possible connection.iTHAT^S INSIDE: Netos: Retreat draws students, administratpt^Mpage4 l^iatures: The animal kin Sports:Hockey Club beats Seattle^ page 18 ---------- Western Front - 1993 November 16 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS November 16,1993 Nov. 11,4:16 p.m.: A woman reported that she returned to her car on the400block of South College Drive andfound the word "Satan" spray painted on the hood ofher car.

Candles lit ithe room as silence fell over the crowd. One by one, students spoke the wordsthat came to their mind about the experiences they had been engaged in for the last 24 hours. The thirdannual Ethnic Student Center (ESC) retreat started Friday night, Nov. 12, running through Saturdayafternoon (November 13th) and was held at Camp Casey, an hour and half from Bellingham. "Thisyear's turn out has a lot of new people, young people, and given how positive this event had been Ithink the ESC is going to grow," said Elena Fa'amoe, one of the senior members of the retreat planningcommittee. The event set a record with over 130 participants and guests. Guests were not only from theWestern community but from all over Bellingham. Guests includedPresidentKaren Morse, Interim VicePresident for Student Affairs Marie Eaton, AS Board members, a representative from Northwest IndianCollege and a representative from Whatcom Community College, along with a number of facultymembers and guest presenters from Western. The retreat allowed a chance for not only all the groups to gather in one place and explore "Discovering Differences...Who Are You?...Unity;" the theme of thisyear's retreat. "I really enjoy getting to meet new people and it kind of puts you back in touch with whyyou're involved in student activities," Jack Smith said.

Friday evening included a welcome by Vice Provost for DiversityLarry Estrada and Joanne Lagasse, ESC coordinator and advisor. A slide show of the ESC andWestern's campus followed. Afterahearty round of icebreakers the group disseminated to differentsocial activities. The array of social activities allowed people to get to know one another and buildcooperation and unity. A quilt was being designed with each person malting a contribution by creatingone square of the quilt. The evening also included games of basketball, volleyball, pool and ping-pong.Attendees danced the night away to music while people shared their different styles and techniques toothers on the dance floor. Following the dance a small bonfire was started for roasting marshmallows.Students stayed up into the wee hours of the morning sharing stories and frolicing around the barracks at Camp Casey. Wake up call came at 7 a.m., after students slept for an average of four hours. By 9 a.m.the day of workshops was underway. Duringtheopeningplenary session the five-year history of the ESCwas presented to give students a greater appreciation for where the center is today. For the remainder ofthe day students picked one session in each of the workshop sections. During the first workshop, threeseparate sessions were offered. The first session, "Explore Your Identity," dealt with understandingwho you are and applying that to your culture and your heritage. Conversation was facilitated by RobertKim, a professor in the Education Administration and Foundations Department, and students. "Beproud of who you are," Kim said. "Celebrate it." Conformity to a white, male middle-class society wasdiscussed, and how cultural values can be lost during that process. "Get A Life," another session, gave participants helpful hints on how to pay for college, find a job and "don't worry, be happy." Chris Cressfrom the Career Services Center and Christina Castorena from Student Financial Resources spoke tothe group about their options for the future. The last choice for the morning workshop was "It's NotWhat I Expected: Adjusting to a New Life." Liz Partolan-Fray, Aster Yehdego, and Meesha Martin from the Multicultural Services Center facilitated conversation which gave students a chance to expressissues of adjusting to campus life. After lunch at the mess hall, the second set of workshops began."How to be an Effective Student Leader" was one option for students, as was "Becoming an Ally toLesbian/Gay/Bisexual Peers." Student leadership was discussed by Ted Pratt of Student SupportServices, and Namura Nkeze, a Western graduate who is now working at North Seattle CommunityCollege. Fairhaven Resident Director Jodi Berman and Brian Rainforth presented the ally program.Strategies for fighting oppression in the community were discussed. The number of students whoattended allowed for more interaction to take place. See Retreat, page 6 Ethnic Student Center result ofdedication, work, support By Justin Osmer staff reporter A centralized Ethnic Student Center atWestern did not come about without a fight. "There has been a lot of sacrifice and struggle to get theESC up and running," said Cinqu6 Finnie, part of the ES C's intitial planning team. "The one thing youneed to understand is that there was a lot of resistance." This past weekend at theEthnic StudentCenter (ESC) retreat students Cinqu6Finnie, Michelle George, and Noelle Kompkoff, with V.U. StudentActivities Administrator Jack Smith discussed the creation of the ESC and its future vision. Smith alsoplayed an instrumental role in the center's development. Many years of determination went into buildingthe center's current success. In the late '60s and early 70s four different clubs with ethnic basisexisted. Their offices were scattered throughout the Viking Union (VU) building. The Black StudentUnion, American Indian Student Union, MEChA, and Asian-American Student Union did not have acommon space or a single coordinator. Each group had an individual focus. Photo by Justin OsmerEach participant sewed a patch for the quilt revealed at the retreat's end. In the mid 70s the clubs werecentralized on the fourth floor of the V.U. with a common lounge. Yet, at the time there was nounifying organizational structure in place. The clubs began to lose priority on the university's list ofprograms in the late 70s and their office space was lost. The clubs were not very active during this time.By 1979 the idea of a cultural center had been tossed around for a number of years and after a review ofthe Student Affairs mission the vision was brought up again. Unfortunately, nothing materialized from the talks. Between 1979 and 1989 the AS established a student run Cross Cultural Center whichcoordinated programs for various cultural groups. In 1989 the university set out on a new mission tomake diversity a priority. The goal was to get more students of color to come to Western and to provide a centralized gathering place on campus for ethnic studentgroups. Around the same time, state fundsbecame available through the V.U. renovations project "We came together as one strong power to getthe program started," Finnie said. Through a collective effort, students planned a center where ethnicstudents could come and gain the support they needed. "I felt like I needed a place to go and share theproblems I was dealing with as a minority student on this campus," George said. A position statementwas drafted and the dream of the project began to come true. However, the fight was not over. Statefunds that were promised never surfaced. The process locked up and the administration began tochange its mind. "We were just getting alot of lip service from Mortimer (Western's president at thattime)," George said. Organizers became frustrated and began a campaign to get emphasis put back into the program. "We sent letters to the community and to high schools, letting them know what washappening to our ethnic program," George said. After much sweat and toil, the program finally began togel. Smith helped with the physical design of the to-be ESC, and work began on the first floor of the V.U., in coordination with Bigfoot's Bistro. The center was completed in the winter of 1991. Rapidly, groupscame together and got the center moving and off the ground. A central coordinator was hired, and thenumber of clubs began to increase. The student's efforts and dreams were paying off. The ESC hasgrown from four original clubs to 11. The ESC program has had three different coordinators since itsbeginning, but that hasn't hindered its growth.

UPC seeks ways to involve faculty in budget process UPC, Continued from page 1 would attemptto find jobs, either on or off campus, for the spouses and "significant others" of people Western wants tohire. The draft was written by Western's attorney, Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke. Ifapproved, it would allow exceptions to the regular advertising of and competitive recruitment for openpositions if an applicant's qualifications were incredibly outstanding or to help accomplish the university's affirmative action goals. Under the draft policy, an applicant could avoid competing with others for aposition if he or she were a member of an underrepresented group in the department in which theposition were available, and were qualified for the position. A controversial exception would allowWestern to waive open hiring for the spouse or "sig-nificantother" of someone whose successfulrecruitment would be "ultimately dependent upon a suitable appointment for her/his spouse of"significant other" and whose recruitment would be "of special significance to the campus," providedthat the spouse meets some university need, according to the draft "I do not see hiring a spouse asan opportunity hire. It is a required hiring," said UPC member Phil Montague. Montague asked wheredepartments would find the money for such hires. "This doesn'tstrikemeas very good policy," he said.UPC member Lynn Hollingsworth said the Human Resources Office lacks the resources to find jobsfor the spouses of Western hires. And member Lorraine Brilla said, "What does 'significant other'mean?" She said she wasn't certain whether the term has been legally defined. Though 12 peopleattended the meeting, no one spoke in favor of the draft policy. The draft was intended only tostimulate discussion and has not been endorsed by Bohlke or anyone else, said UPC chair HowardEvans. Evans asked UPC members to write or phone him with their opinions on the draft The discussionof opportunity hiring occupied only the last few minutesof the UPC meeting. UPC members spent mostof their meeting discussing the Faculty Handbook section dealing with university budget planning. Thehandbook, which the Board of Trustees approved in 1983, required departments to developcontingency plans outlining how they will react to budget cuts or increases. The departments' collegesare to combine the departmental contingency plans into large college contingency plans to be sent tothe provost and the UPC for review. The UPC must then negotiate these college contingency plans withthe provost and other planning committees. After many hearings and discussions, the FacultySenate reviews the agreed-upon version of the college plans, makes recommendations and sendsits revised version to the provost, who then hashes out his objections to it with the senate beforerecommending a final, university-wide contingency plan to the president, who also has an opportunityto object. The whole process must be completed by May 15. In reality, the UPC has not requestedcontingency plans from the provost's office at any time since the Faculty Handbook was approvedin1983, saidUPC Chair Howard Evans. Phil Montague called the handbook procedures too cumbersome to work. "It's unclear to me who is supposed to do what," he said. "hi reading this, I get this distinctsense of unreality. It would be wonderful if the world operated in such a way that we could follow thehandbook's neat, orderly processes... but what happens is, the Legislature tells us in the middle ofthe year 'You must cut 3.2 percent'" He said the UPC would have to adjust the handbook proceduresbecause of the speed with which budget decisions often must be made. "What we have in thehandbook are procedures which are impossible to follow," he said. Kathleen Knutzen said, "Therehave been times since 1983 when the Faculty Handbook was ignored and the UPC wasn't active."Later in the meeting, she said, "Now you have aUPC that is focusing on this document and wanting touse this document when it has not been used for quite some time." Knutzen said Provost Roland DeLorme is willing to help UPC, and that the committee should . move forward in a spirit of cooperation,but added, 'This document (the handbook) is not functional." Political science professor Don Alperwarned the UPC against getting bogged down in minutiae, saying his committee must decide what itcan practically accomplish in one year and should concentrate on a long-range plan for Western. Hesaid he quit UPC 12 years ago because "we griped about how our documents were never followed byadministration and picked at documents on the books and didn't do long-range planning." UPCmember Alan Sleeman called for a plan for Western that would describe what the university shouldlook like in six years. He said such a plan would give the UPC a rationale for its recommendations."We allow the president and provost to make all the decisions. The provost asks us to make a decisionabouthiring, and we have no criteria for deciding, so we say yes. If we have a long-range plan, we cansay 'No. You should be hiring in this area and cutting back in this area,'" Sleeman said. "If we don't havea well-reasoned plan to back us up, the administration will steamroll us," he said.

Retreat, Continued from page 4 "I am happy with the ways things have been going,"Finnie said. "With all of the people I wasn't sure if everybody would be able to interact freely, but it'sturned out good - it's like the more the merrier!" The retreat provided a unique opportunity for manystudents to learn more about themselves and others. "I came to learn and to share. I wasn't sure what to expect," senior Doug Hodson said. "I am glad I came â€” I wasn't sure if I'd be the only white personhere or not." Students from nearly all ethnic backgrounds and races were in attendance, allowing for networking and the sharing of ideas. "I've met a lot of people and made a lot of contacts that would have taken months to make otherwise," Adria Adams, a freshman, said. "The lines of communication areopen with us now so when we have to deal with certain issues we know we have a common experience," Finnie said. The retreat also gave students a chance to become more familiar with the ESC and how itworked. After the morning plenary session many realized how valuable the teamwork of the center is. The ESC is a student-run center which coordinates all the different organizations within it's walls. Accordingto an ESC brochure, "these student- led offices provide individual, social, and cultural enrichingactivities to the campus and the community." Some of the groups include the African AmericanAlliance, Asian Pacific Islander Student Union, Native American Student Union, and Korean Student Association. "It's not just the offices are in the same place, but it means they 're all working on acommon goal of achieving strength and positive contact for all ethnic students on campus," Adams said. The retreat met and exceeded its goals. "We're here to create a sense of community supporting aconcept of unity and mutual support," Estrada said. The overall feel of the retreat touched many whoattended. "Just the feeling of people forming alliances and friendships for the coming year is great,"Smith said. ESC now offers place to meet, wide range of services ESC History, Continued from page 4has its own organizational structure. "Some clubs have presidents and vice presidents, and some havesteering committee heads," Hyon Chu Yi, a senior and an active ESC member, said. The center has20 to 25 core members and over 100 people involved in clubs, according to Yi. The center has onesteering committee for the whole group, with monthly meetings to discuss issues relating to the ESCand its students. "The only thing that worries me is that I hope people don't take (the ESC) for granted,because I've invested so much into it," Finnie said. Finnie saw the center go from ground zero to a height that had exceeded any previous expectations. "We didn't plan for the expansion of the ESC to be asvast as it has been," Finnie said. Many other schools don't have student centers for those of ethnicbackgrounds, or their programs are much smaller than Western's. "We're committed to diversity here,and it's especially obvious when you do some research at other schoolsâ€”Western has a very uniqueprogram," said Ted Pratt, the director of Student Support Services Today the ESC offers a central placefor ethnic organizations to plan and organize activities as well as offer council and ad-visement forstudents dealing with ethnic issues. The center is located in VU109, and anyone is welcome to stop by."(The ESC is) a place I can go and be myself without having any questions being asked," said ElenaFa'amoe. "(The ESC) is really important to me and I've met a whole lot of people thereâ€” it's great,"Finnie said. For more information about the ESC call the center at 650-7271. Sociology professorpresents results of male fertility study By Helen Buller staff reporter That men might regret theirvasectomies is one overlooked aspect of male fertility â€” an oversight sociology professor RenataForste is interested in correcting. Male sterilization is gaining popularity among couples seekingpermanent fertility control because it has fewer health risks than long-term pill use and is effective,sexually unobtrusive, simpler and less expensive than female sterilization, Forste said during herresearch presentation Thursday in the Wilson Library presentation room. Forste's recent researchfocused on factors influencing the likelihood of married couples choosing vasectomy as asterilization method and of men regretting the decision. She found age at marriage, duration ofrelationship, number of children, ethnicity and race, education and region most influential in thedecision to get a vasectomy while religion, level of wife's education and region were the mostsignificant factors in regret. She also uncovered several odd trends affecting choice and regret levels.Forste analyzed survey answers given by 1,671 married men between the ages of 20 and 39. She said the average age at vasectomy is mid- to late-30s, so this sample is a little younger than most malesreceiving vasectomies, but the age is dropping. Forste used data collected by Battelle, a privateresearch center with a grant to study male sexual behavior and STDs/ATDS transmission specifically. In Forste's subject group, vasectomized males had married an average of one and a half years earlier,had been married almost four years longer and had more children (.9) than unvasectomized males.Forste said the likelihood of male sterilization doubled with the birth of each child. Previous research had shown significantreligious affiliation and racial and ethnic differences between men who chosevasectomies, and those who declined. Forste said religious factors have disappeared while ethnic andracial effects remain. Seventy-eight percent of Forste's subjects were Caucasian while 9 percent were African-American and 13 percent had differing racial or ethnic backgrounds. Forste said educationplayed a clear and significant role in likelihood of vasectomy. Males with less than a high schooleducation were 4.7 times less likely to get vasectomies than men with high school or collegeeducation. Where the men lived also played arole. More males with or considering vasectomies live inthe West. Men in the South are 2.2 times less likely to get sterilized than men in the West. Forste said most fertility research to date is based on the reports of women, so little is known about maleresponses, particularly regret or tension with the decision. She found 12percent of vasectomizedsubjects regretted their vasectomy. Even thoughForste'smeasure for regret is open for interpretationand her research may create more questions than itanswers, she said surveying men is a step in theright direction. "It highlights the fact that such issues exist It's something that definitely needs to bepersuaded," Forste said.

"I think the only way to take away the hesitation is to get people to usethe program and to not feel that there's something wrong with them because they're poor enough to need food stamps. Most people sometime in their lives need some help," she said. Statistics show that thenumber of households in Whatcom County who are receiving food stamps has increased in the pastyear. According to Jill Delaney, service delivery coordinator at the Department of Social and HealthServices (DSHS), 3,374 households received food stamps in January 1992. In January 1993, the number reached 3,924. Themostrecentdata available, from July of this year, shows that 4,086 householdsreceived food stamps. Thompson said theBellingham Food Bank, where the Food Stamp Program islocated, has received many calls from students and the number of calls is increasing.

Ellen Gootblatt, former Harlem school teacher, radio talkshow host and author, spokecandidly about her personal experiences with relationships and her guidelines for dating in her Nov. 12presentation, "Meeting, Dating, Relating and Mating." Gootblatt's laid back style, complete with bluejeans and accent, kept the audience enthusiastically involved and rolling with laughter. "Whatscares me around the country, is that so many people are half a person, holding on to another halfperson, expecting to be one indestructible person together," Gootblatt said." Ya know what? They'retwo half people clinging together for dear life, horrified of being alone. That is asinine!... At some point inyour life, you are going to be alone and you have to be okay with it." Gootblatt explained her four mainpremises for great relationships and her two recent additions: 1. Make yourself fabulous â€” fabulousenough that you would want to date someone like yourself. 2. Once you make yourself fabulous, seekexcellence and expect excellence. Don't settle for anything less because there are plenty of jerks andjerkettes waiting to prey on you. 3. Relationships are meant to be easy. They should generatethemselves. If you're bustin' your chops to make it work, you're in the wrong relationship. 4. If therelationship is inherently good, go forit If it is inherently bad, run for the hills. Trust your gut feelings. 5. If the relationship is inherently good and you and your partner have similar long-term goals, havethe absolute commitment to make it work. The best relationships are not dependent and notindependent, but interdependent. 6. Ask yourself if in the relationship you are a bigger, better, fuller,more full-spectrum human being or if you are smaller, tighter, heavier, more confined, moreconstrained. If you are the latter, again, run for the hills. Gootblatt stressed the ability to control one'slife and relationships. "Ultimately, everything is your choice. Nobody makes you happy and nobodymakes you unhappy," Gootblatt said. "You have the power to stay in a relationship and you have thepower to leave a relationship. I was in a seven-year relationship with an alcoholic and I realized hisproblem had nothing to do with me. I finally left" Gootblatt encouraged the audience to settle fornothing less than the best and not to be afraid to initiate relationships. "You'll never know what might'vebeen. You go through this life only once. Do it spectacularly!" Option of abstinence explored insexuality program By Lars Lundberg staff reporter "Just Do It? Taking A Second Look At Abstinence," a program sponsored by the Sexual Awareness Center (SAC) is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in BondHall 217. Western graduate Heidi Salter designed the program with the help of SAC CoordinatorStephanie Ohashi. The program will include a short presentation by Salter, followed by an opendiscussion. "My intent isn't to judge lifestyles, it is to talk to students about the dynamics of sex withina relationship and about intimacy and commitment," Salter said. Salter is currently involved in training to become a campus chaplain, but she said the program is designed for all students regardless of theirbackgrounds. The purpose of the program is to challenge students to consider an issue that isn't often taken seriously, she said. "There are so many benefits to abstinence that go beyond scare tacticsand religiosity. It is a shame to see the idea quickly discarded as unrealistic andrestric-tive," Salter said. In preparation for the program, Salter researched the subject, using information from Newsweek, TheNew York Times, Christianity Today, the Journal of American Medical Association and other sources.She also surveyed students about their views on sex and intimacy. Nearly 100 students responded toquestions like "what is intimacy?" and "what does sex have to do with intimacy?" "Closeness wasmentioned in nearly every student's response. The kind of closeness people are looking for, though,isn't found in sex. "Sex can be an important part of intimacy, but only after a loving, caring andcommitted relationship is established. Otherwise people can end up feeling used and hurt," Salter said.Salter approached Ohashi a month and half ago to discuss providing a program on abstinence for thecampus community. "She came to me concerned with the push for safer sex," Ohashi said. "The SACis an information office only. We deal with any issue, considering both sides." "I think there are somepeople who have their mind made up. But, some people haven't, and they are uncertain about what todo. This program is just an example of one of the choices they can make," Ohashi said. Salter hopes tohave people come who are open to discussing the issue, whether or not they have been sexually active in the past "My goal is to share with students a perspective on sex that will leave some saying, 'maybe itis worth the wait,'" she said.

They also are theconcern of one Karen Morse, Westem'sl2th president Her large spectacles give her an owlish look,further enhanced by her blonde hair swept in a wave across her head. Her voice isconfidentassheexplainsher views on what she thinks are Western's biggest concerns. She said shebelieves students need to realize they are paying less than one-third o|lt;.^ecosjt of their education andneed to share in die cost of quality education. "We are aware of the pressures on students with respectto financial stress," Morse said. "We've got to continue to be aware of that. I think we have aresponsibility to provide as much financial aid as possible, so those students who are most affected bylack of finances â€” lack of capability to pay for their education â€” can find assistance in doing that."Photo Steve Dunkelberger to help improve education. Morse has had experience with qualityeducation and said it is obtainable. However, she expects students to be a very large part of thatprocess. "I expect them to be responsible," she said, a schoolmarm's attitude evidencing itself. "I expect students to be serious about being at Western because of the difficulties in providing accessâ€”onlyone out of five applicants comes to Western. I think that it's significant that they're a special group ofpeople both in terms of being accepted to Western and the kind of experience they have at Western."A university degree is not a piece of paper. You receive a piece of paper, but it has to mean something.It has to reflect a base of learning. It has to reflect that you're ready in a particular area of expertise insome cases; a particular base of knowledge reflecting a particular capability for writing and thinkingand analyzing. All of those things are measures of quality. We're not doing our students a favor by justgiving them a piece of paper. That piece of paper has to mean something." Morse said she is worriedabout the future funding the state may be able to provide and added it is the responsibility of theuniversity to provide access to a quality education. "I think the issue of financial stability is perhaps thebiggest one, and tied in with that is preserving quality while providing access," she said. "We're a publicinstitution. We have a responsibility to provide access, but there are limitations. If you don't have thepeople and you don't have the equipment and the facilities, you're providing access, but you're notproviding any measure of quality. We're at a very critical time in the state of Washington regardingaccess versus quality. Access without quality is meaningless." She has visited most of theadministrative departments such as financial aid, health services and student services and said she'sfound dedicated individuals working very hard to facilitate the success of the faculty and the students."They too are hampered by inadequate funding, both in terms of an infrastructure in simply equipmentand in terms of personnel," she said. "Our financial aid department is a good example. They coulduse three more people in order to better serve financial aid students. It's very frustrating for students tonot have the access to more help, but we don't have the funding to provide that." President Morse hasvisited the university's departments, both academic and administrative, to get an assessment of eachdepartment's needs and capabilities. "I'm very impressed with the quality of the program and thededication of the faculty â€” the intent of the faculty and concern of the faculty to provide good teachingand good opportunity for scholarship," Morse said with a hint of admiration. "My impression is verypositive, everywhere from the faculty and what they're doing to the physical plant and how hard they'reworking. The state is getting more than its bang for its buck." To provide the quality education shebelieves in, Morse is looking at enrollment management, class size, class scheduling, faculty workloadsand the physical classrooms. She is interested in providing the best teaching technology to faculty sothat when they enter a classroom, they are able to show a laserdisc, put a computer display on ascreen or access resources not readily available in Bellingham. "We're looking at improving ourtechnological infrastructure so thatwehave better access to scholarly material, we have better access toeach other and we have better access to university information, so departments can plan better for thefuture," Morse said. All in all, Morse said she is where she feels she wants to be. "I'm really pleasedto be here at Western," she said. "I really wanted to come to Western because of the kind of university it is. And I say that sincerely." Morse rose through the ranks at Utah State University, beginning as apart-time lecturer in 1968 and becoming the university provost in 1989. "I've taught very large classes.I've taught very small classes. I've developed curricula. I've graded exams on weekends and nights. I'vewritten exams on weekends and nights. I've written grants and (have) been successful in some and not successful in others, so I know what it means for a faculty member in terms of time and effort and theinvestment the faculty make with respect to scholarly activities." Her doctorate and master's degrees inchemistry from the University of Michigan provided much experience, which she put to use inpublishing 55 research documents and in obtaining three patents in her specialty area of boronmolecules â€” active boron molecule compounds have been used in fighting cancer, alleviating arthritis and lowering cholesterol. Morse said her family has enjoyed the Bellingham and the Westerncommunities and is grateful for the reception the community has given her. Life is 'sweet' for motherand son rap-group By Shahid Rahman staff reporter When you first hear the name "Sweetness andMom's" the thought of a rap and hip-hop dance duo would never come to mind. Seeing them perform,one would never guess it's a local 46-year-old woman and her son. Mary Ann and Hosea Phillips are"Sweetness and Mom's" â€” perhaps the world's only mother-and- son rap and hip-hop dance team. The concept for this duo came to Hosea in a dream. He dreamed of himself performing with his mother â€”then he leaped out of bed and ran to his mother's room. "I woke her up and said 'Mama, mama, be mydance partner,'" Hosea said. Her reaction was to tell him to go back to bed. "I didn' t want any part ofit. I thought I would hold him back and people would laugh at me," Mary Ann said. EventuallyvShe told.her son she would perform just once to see how the crowd would react. If they liked her, she wouldstay. "They were yelling 'go Mom's, go Mom's,'" Hosea said. Since then, they have performed morethan 20 shows. One of their biggest thrills came when they opened for Sir Mix-a-Lot last year. The gigmaterialized while on their way home from church. They stopped at a gas station to call home formessages. Mary Ann, who was sitting in the car, could see her son jumping up and down with thephone still to his ear. She knew they were going to perform. The two also have performed at localschools, where they try to install a message of striving for goals. "I let them know you can get whateveryou want out of life if you put your mind to it. You just got to believe in yourself and try," Hosea said.Hosea is also the group's manager and handles the bookings and sponsors, and he choreographsmost of the routines which prove to be demanding for Mary Ann. "He's a perfectionist when it comes topreparation. If I mess up, then we have to start all over again," Mary Ann said. The reason Hosea'sroutines are so demanding is that in this business, you don't want to be known as a cute act. He wantshis mother to perform as hard and as fast as he does, or they risk not being taken seriously. The duowas originally justa dance group until Hosea decided they should take it one step further and startrapping. Mary Ann was reluctant, but she tries to support him in whatever he does. This paid off because they made a demo of their single "Here we go U," a rap about the Univer-sity of Washington Huskiesfootball team. The single got a lot of air-play on radio stations and played just before the kick-off of the1993 Rose Bowl. Hosea said, in the future they'll be shooting for record deals, commercials, acting andtouring with major music groups.

Aglass blower by trade, he uses licks of fire to shape and form glass into smooth, flowing works of art.But in the past year, Sargent has been developing a new type of art In essence, it's free from curves andfree from some characteristics found in other artwork. It's glass brick. A brick might not be considereda great work of artistic genius. In Sargent's case, the brick is artâ€”and it represents the beginning of anew form of recycling technology. He calls them pavers â€” rectangular blocks of solid glass a littlethicker than an inch. The blocks are made from 100-percent recycled glass, most of which he gets fromWestern'srecyclingcenter.He said the project is his way of completing the "recycling loop." "Recycling,as far as the public is concerned, involves only collection," he said. "True recycling involves collectionand reuse. Until we come to a point of reusing what we collect, we are not really recycling." Goingfrom pop bottle to a squared brick is afour-step process. Collected glass is sorted by color and thencrushed and screened to remove contaminants. Next, the glass is then melted in a 2,400 degree furnace. Donning protective eyewear and heat-resistant gloves, Sargent ladles, the resulting molten glass out ofthefurnace, pouring it info a press which forms the glass into a block. Sargent made the press withmoney he received from a $ 10,000 state grant and with the assistance of students from BellinghamTechnical College. Two minutes later, the newly-formed brick is removed from the press and placedinto an intermediate oven. After two more minutes, the brick is placed into a third oven where it is allowed to cool slowly. His biggest accomplishment so far has been in the fast food business. More than 70 ofSargent's bricks can be found along hand-railings and in a windmill mural at the newly opened LyndenMcDonald's. â€¢ McDonald's owner Jim Campbell said he chose to incorporate the bricks as part ofMcDonald's growing commitment to recycling. The brick order took about a month to complete,Sargent said. A lot of time was spent getting each paver uniform in size and then finding an adhesivewhich would hold them together for the mural. "No one makes these," he said, "so we can't call themanufacturer and ask 'So how do we glue these together to sandblast them?'" the demand for the paverhas been limited to McDonald's, and upcoming projects with Trillium and the downtown BellinghamAthletic Club building. Lack of a market and the need for greater public awareness of recycling havemade it a hard sell. The cost of the paver, about $80 a square foot or $20 each, also is a largeinhibitorâ€”as high production costs result in a higher product cost. That problem, could be solved as themanufacturing process becomes more efficient and markets open up.Sargent said corporations suchas McDonald's and Trillium could be the key to turning everything around. "If (corporations) encouragepeople to use post-consumer recycled products, they will use them. It could become trendy," Sargentsaid. _... ^ . . . .

By Michael Ritter staff'reporter Cats and dogs are great to have as pets, butthe fun of having a pet doesn't necessarily have to include offspring. All it takes is a quick snip at thevet's. Neutering is a minor surgery process for male pets in which the testicles are removed, whereasspaying is a major surgery process for female pets in which the uterus and ovaries are removed. Themost important reason for "fixing" pets is to decrease the number of unwanted pets â€” many are put todeath. According to a Humane Society pamphlet, more than 13.5 million unwanted dogs and cats are put to death each year in the United States. Other reasons for spaying or neutering â€” besidescontrolling the pet population â€” exist, which are also important. Life expectancy is one of them.Neutering cuts down the amount of roaming a male cat or dog will do, veterinarian Rachel Bangert fromthe Bellingham Animal Hospital said. "We get a lot of dogs and cats that have not been neuteredcoming in injured. Most of them ... have been hit by a car because they were out roaming. If they hadbeen neutered, they would have had less of a tendency to roam," Bangert said. "Not to say thatneutering eliminates roaming, but it certainly decreases the activity of it," Bangert said. Spaying orneutering also reduces the risk of disease processes and infections, Bangert said. "We see a lot of older dogs that have not been neutered or spayed coming in withmammary tumors, prostate tumors and testicle tumors. The incidence rate of these processes is greatly increased when neutering orspaying has not been done," Bangert said. "I am a real advocate for spaying and neutering. I see a lot of older female dogs coming in with uterine infections. These infections, which can be life-threatening, wouldhavenever occurred if the dog would have been spayed," Bangert said.Pyometra,apus^filleduterus, occurs more often in older dogs who have notbeen spayed than in thosewho have, Bangert said. "Spaying or neutering also helps decrease aggressive behavior. Bite woundsresulting from a fight can cause feline leukemia. Abscesses, infections caused by puncture wounds, can also occur as a result from fighting," Bangert said. Spaying or neutering a pet can be a difficultdecision for some to make. An often-occur-ringmyth, which sometimes discourages owners to havetheir pet spayed or neutered, is that the process promotes weight gain. "A great number of pets are not spayed or neutered because the owner believes the pet gains a lot of weight afterwards as an effect It is true... but this is not becauseof the process. Mostpets get spayed or neutered between four and sixmonths old, and this is the time when their bodies begin to grow up resulting in noticeable weight gain.This is just part of the natural life cycle which occurs for ahealthy young pet," Bangert said. "A lot ofpeople don't believe in spaying or neutering because they believe it is inhumane," Bangert said."But what I try to point out to them is thatin the long run, spaying or neutering enables the pet to havea healthier life with less problems occurring as it gets older. It's one great way to insure a pet lives along healthy life." Bellingham man's hamsters get a dose of tough love via cannon By Helen Buller staffreporter A sign is nailed to the door on which is written "HAMSTERS" â€” in an oozing script Draculawould be proud to display on his stationary. Inside dwell 15 hamsters, two cats and three humans. One,William Roeben, owns all the hamsters, while housemate Charles Massey pointedly disowns the lot.Roeben's also responsible for Inky, a feline rodent-population officer who patrols constantly forescapees. Regular guests and friends think nothing of Roeben's hamster hats or occasional pocket-peeping rodents. The guests are also ready to catch unexpected projectiles resemblingpowder puffs.Roeben tests the human-catch responseby pitching hamsters at unsuspecting guests. For oneterrifying split-second after Roeben has tossed a pet, the option to save it from a tumble to the floor warswith a deep-seated anti-rodent disgust. Of course, the creature is caught, unless it's carrying along afly-catching strip. Roeben said one hamster had been caught in such a strip as he tossed it toahousemate. "That hamster quickly went on to become the camouflage hamster," Roeben said. Oncepeeled free of the strip and put back in its cage, the bedding stuck ardently. Roeben's hamsters alsolearn what he calls relatively simple tricks such as how to perform as a cannonball. Hamsters are loaded into empty paper towel rolls and gently blown out to land on soft cushions. To be a housemate ofRoeben's requires Hamster History 101. In his this-is-the- voice-of-God tone, Roeben will explainhow hamsters were discovered eight feet beneath the Syrian desert in the 1930s, "by I don't know who,I've forgotten already." "Basically allhamsters since thenhave been descended from those few thatactually survived being shipped by the United States post over the Atlantic," Roeben said. Roeben got hooked on hamsters because apsychology class required students to teach a small rodent a trick."Originally I had two gerbils so I could warp their little minds for class," Roeben said. He chose hamsters after that because he finds them cuter and fuzzier, he said. Housemate Massey said he prefers gerbilsto hamsters. "They don't squelch and freak out when you hold them. They're more adventurous. Theydon'tsitandsleep all day, and they aren't big fluffy-type things â€” you don't mistake them for lint balls,"Massey said. Over the years, hamster population in the house maxed at 30, Roeben said. Roeben'spenchant for interesting names leads to household members named Prince Valium, Kid Psycho, ScarFace, Eggatha Christie, Rags and the Chew-toy Twins. Unfortunately, hamster turnover rates are high,mostly because the average life expectancy hovers around two years. Other hamsters don't even meettheir two-year life expectancy. Poor Prince Valium died because he figured out how to escape. "Sincewe have a roving hamster-mobile (the cat) on the floor, he was gone," Roeben said. "He proved to be toosmart for his own good." Accidental casualty and wounding rates dropped once Roeben learned toeffectively handle the animals. Other reasons for demise, escape and feline capture include coldtemperatures, cannibalism and wet-tail. Wet-tail? "Oh, it's just terminal hamster diarrhea," Roebensaid. Drops in temperature put the animals in what Roeben calls hamster-hibernation mode. Theanimals' reflexes slow to less than one-third of normal activity â€” they look as if filmed in slow motion. Ifnot warmed up, the animals become susceptible to hamster cannibalism because they can't defendthemselves. "You'dthinktherewasahamsterKuru," fullj Roeben said. chin Kuru is a sickness caused byviruses in the brain tissue of cannibal victims. Despite periodic loses, Roeben maintains his hamstercolony.

Julie Slayton, a judge at a recent cat show, inspects a contestant. By HilaryParker staff reporter Cats have been worshipped since Egyptian times. They captivate us with theirgrace and mystery. The dog is man's best friend. We love them for their loyalty. The debate betweencat-lovers and dog-lovers has long been a point of contention for feline and canine fanciers alike. Thedebate has even found its way to Western. Two Western students started arguing this issue as juniors at Kentridge Sr. High School in Kent, Wash. They hold to their beliefsâ€”tooth and clawâ€”as to whohas the better pet. Jill Willingham, a junior, said cats are by far the better animal. Being a cat lover, she would know. Willingham said she thinks her fascination with cats has to do with their mysteriousquality, and the fact each cat has a unique personality. Junior Julie Doering, sees the issue in adifferent way. In her opinion, dogs are the best pet. Doering has owned guinea pigs and hamsters, butstill thinks her canines, which she describes as loving, funny and incorrigible, are the "top dogs."Givenachance, both women are eager to talk about their pets. Willingham's older cat died last year, butwas soon replaced when her mother found a cat at the library where she works. The kitten, a mix ofblack, white, orange and brown, is named for her Halloween colors. "Molly Ann Boo," at seven monthsold, is a kitten-ish handful. Doering also has a handful with her family's new dog. Even at 18 months,the spaniel-mix named "Betsy" still wreaks havoc around the house by chewing up the butter dish orpulling all the cushions of f the couch and piling them in the middle of the floor. Willingham and Doeringhave definite opinions on why one species is better than another. Their four-year debate runssomething like this: Doering: Cats aren't friendly. If you go to pet a cat, it might scratch your face off.They're born with deadly weapons, and they know how to use them. Willingham: Cats are nice to havearound. They are better than dogs that just jump up and lick you. Doering: If a dog licks you, you don'tlose 17 epidermal layers. Willingham and Doering aren' t the only ones with an opinion on dogs andcats. Wendy Holdal, 21, of Bellingham, is also a cat lover. "I like cats because they're soft, and theylike to cuddle more (than dogs)." Holdal said she doesn't like dogs because some of them stink. Shealso adds, "Dogs lick â€” I hate that." T i m H e i d a 1 , a junior,defends "stinky, licky" dogs. "Ofcourse, you'd rather them not smell bad â€” a lot of people smell bad, but you don't dislike them."Holdal saidher cat "Kitty," and her boyfriend's cat "Cat," keep things interesting. Kitty's latest incidentoccurred last weekend when he pulled on the dining room table cloth and spilled wine on his gray-and-white coat. "He was all purple," Holdal said. "I think he got drunk from licking the wine off. He'ssleeping now, I think he has a hangover." Heidal said he considers his two dogs, "Candy Cane" and"Cookie," more as part of the family than the family cat. Heidal also has a theory on why people likedogs so well: "Dogs are obedient and submissive. Humans want power over something.

No fuss, no muss Students don'tflounder with fish By Dawn Bittner staff reporter Living in dorms and apartments can get kind of lonely,especially since inmost, pets are forbidden. But wait! One type of pet never barks, never makes a messand doesn't leave an unpleasant odor in the carpet â€” fish. People enjoy fish because they have asoothing effect and help reduce stress, said Joy Hofeditz, fish department manager at Hohl Feed andSeed. "Many doctors have aquariums in their offices because their smooth motion provides a soothingeffect," Hofeditz said. Hofeditz, Howard Luby, manager of Exotic Aquaria, and Heidi Manion, Pets- R-Ussalesperson, have found the tetras to be the most popular fish because they're colorful and the heads and tails glow. "Children think it's fascinating that they (tetras) have headlights andtaillights," Hofeditz said.All types of people, from young children to the elderly, purchase fish. "I've seen 70-year-old womencome in and get 10-gallon tanks," Hofeditz said. Goldfish tend tobe the favorite among college students.Susan Horn and her roommate had goldfish, named after their boyfriends at the time, their first yearat Western. "My roommate's fish died, and she broke up with her boyfriend the same week. I took itas an omen, and changed my goldfish's name," Horn said. Senior Ira Siebert has three goldfish namedHamadryd, Gleed and Skit. "I bought them as a present to myself when I got accepted to Western," hesaid. Hamadryd, Gleed and Skit live in a 10- gallon tank. Siebert said they greet him when he wakes upin the morning, and each has an individual personality. "Skitis the biggest, andhe'sravenous. He attacksfood before the others. Gleed sits back in the corners (of the tank), and Hamadryd has a flowing style. If I were a goldfish, I would want Hamadryd to be my girlfriend," Siebert said. Another choice fish is thebeta. Betas live alone in a small bowl, and basically float in one spot. Junior Jamie Haydock has a betaby the name of Buddy. "I use him as my excuse for talking to myself," Haydock said. Some students go for the whole "sha-bang" when it comes to pet fish. Senior Steve Haplin opts for more exotic fish thantetras, goldfish, and betas. Haplin has eight fish in a 38-gallon tank: two Jack Dempseys, three JeweledSicklids, an Oscar and a Pacasomus. Haplin said his friends are fascinated with his fish. "They arecool to watch. You can sit and watch them while doing your homework, and sometimes you don'treal-ize how much time has gone by," Haplin said. Like any pet, fish need proper care in order to thrive. Hofeditz offers six suggestions for keeping fish healthy: â€¢ Initially, add only a few fish to the bowl or tank toavoid rapid build-up of ammonia and nitrites. Only add additional fish after 30-45 days, when a goodbiological system has been established. â€¢ Test water periodically for ammonia, nitrites, and pH,change the water if it is present. â€¢ Tropical fish require a temperature of 75 degrees, goldfish require acooler temperature. â€¢ Feed what can be consumed in about three minutes, do not overfeed. â€¢Change water (20-30 percent of the water every 7-14 days) and clean gravel periodically. â€¢ Checkwater at the first sign of a problem. Following these simple steps will assure a long, healthy life for afish. ---------- Western Front - 1993 November 16 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front FEATURES November 16,1993 Behind the scenes Physical Plant keeps Westernrunning By Justin Osmer staff reporter The buzzing of the dot matrix printer broke the silence in theroom as a line of information quickly printed out on the "Alarm" printer. Charlie Eyer, the systemanalysis programmer for the physical plant, wheeled backward in his chair and looked at the sheet"See there, someone just opened up the cooler in the Ridgeway kitchen," he said. Eyer is theprogrammer for the physical plant and is in charge of the Energy Management Computer System(ENCS). This system monitors and assists the computer controls for all of the campus. In his office,Eyer has the host computer unit which is linked to 106 building computers. Each building on campus has at least one of these computers, which are called Cabinets. The Cabinets control nearly everything inthe building, including lighting, heat, fire alarms and air flow. The system has more than 340separate schedules programmed into itto control different aspects of each building. The ENCS is onlyone part of a very large organization called thePhysicalPlant. "We are responsible for the maintenance and up-keep of the campus to insure a safe and reliable facility for students, faculty and staff," PeterHarris, the director of the physical plant said. Major divisions of the the plant include: control andcoordination of all repairs, construction, maintenance, utilities, transportation, grounds up-keep andmaster planning. Two other areas include parking services, and printing and publication. ThePhysical Plant office is located at 26th and Douglas. Managing the steam is another major project of the Physical Plant. Larry Connors is the chief engineer of the steam plant which produces the steam thatheats most of the campus. "We provide steam to 95 percent of the campus buildings, academic andhousing," Connors said. The steam heat leaves the plant at 338 degrees and keeps the interior of theplant at a toasty 80 degrees. Steam is produced by burning natural gas in the boilers. During thesummer months, 90 percent of the plant is shut down to do yearly maintenance and general up keep.The steam plant is up and running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It hasn't had any unplanned delayssince the day it opened. All of the generated steam is pumped out of the steam plant and into eachbuilding- The steam is transmitted through pipes located underground in a service tunnel. Thesetunnels are another important part of the Physical Plant "(The tunnels) are essential to keeping thecampus running and cover almost the entire campus," Harris said. The tunnels are approximately twoand a half miles in length and connect almost every campus building. They are used daily as a majorservice corridor for repairs. "The potential of getting into trouble or doing things you shouldn't be doing in the tunnel is quite great. That is why they are alarmed," Harris said. Everything funnels into the tunnels, including the steam, compressed air, TV cable, phone lines and power lines. The operations of thePhysical Plant keeps Western moving and functioning, but it keeps a low profile. "It is our hope that allof these things people will take for granted," Harris said. "But behind all of that is a team effort toaccomplish that goal," Harris said "We like to be low key and let the campus enjoy the results of ourlabor," Harris said with a smile.

Western dropped the four-set match by scores of 15-13,14-16, 15-3 and 15-8 to Lewis-Clark State College, which it had beaten in their three meetings earlier this season. Western ends it's season with a 30- 15 record, second in their district. The Vikings were led by Lynnette Bonnema,with 14 digs and 13 kills, and Gretchen Haakenson, with 11 and 12. The loss was both disappointing and surprising for the Vikings, who had expected to meet the University of Puget Sound in the districtfinals. "It was more shocking than anything. We were in disbelief. If we were to lose, we wanted to godown in a five-game match to a team like UPS. It wasn't until the fourth game that we knew it could beit," senior Kris Little said. Despite the early exit from the playoffs, Western was happy with its season. "I'm real happy with our season as a whole. We had our ups and downs, and that helped bring us closer together," Little said. "We finished second and have some good memories. It was a real good season,"Bonnema said. Western didn't play poorly, but met a well-prepared Lewis and Clark team. "They wereontop of their game,"Little said. "We were completely confident early; we knew we could win. Then itswitched from let's beat them to let's not lose." "We looked nervous, not very relaxed; we were prettytense. One person usually steps up and plays spectacular and that didn't happen," Bonnema said. Thegame marked the end of three successful collegiate careers for me Vikings as three seniors played intheir final game. Little, Bonnema and Haakenson all finished meir careers at Western, but each lefttheir mark. Haakenson leaves holding the all-time Western kill record with 1,228 and is second in digs with 850. Little holds the all-time assist record with 3,185, passing the old mark by 945. Bonnema is fifth all-time in kills with 782 and fourth all-time in digs with 719. commentary Supersonics picked to be thenext world champions By Brett Nfckelson staff reporter Dorry, but the Phoenix Suns aren't about towin the NBA Championship. As a matter offact, they won't even win the Pacific Division aspredicted. This sounds likea home-town pick, but the Seattle Supersonics are the best team in theNBA. With two key acquisitions just starting to blend in with the team in Seattle, the Soops are already 4-0, and were only challenged in one of those games, a one-point victory over Utah. Nov. 11, the Sonics pounded a Cleveland Cavalier team that many experts are predicting will win the championship thisyear. That victory, along with the victory two nights before against the Denver Nuggets, showed Seattle has answered the main question facing the team â€” can they control the game against thedominating centers in the league? In these two games the Sonics neutralized Denver's DikembeMutumbo and Cleveland's Brad Daugherty defensively by sticking two big bodies on them wheneverthey touched the ball. Offensively, they beat them by making them play Seattle's style of game.Seattle center Sam Perkins stayed out by the three-point line in both games. Mutumbo didn't follow, and Perkins made the Nuggets pay, hitting 7 of 7 three-point shots. Daugherty followed Perkins leaving theinside game open where Shawn Kemp and Detlef Schrempf took advantage. Ah, Detlef Schrempf. Along with the acquisition of Kendall Gill, he is the reason this team is so much improved over lastyear's. Anddon't get me wrong, they were an excellent team last year, missing the finals by one game. To getSchrempf, all the Sonics gave up was underachiever Derrick McKey and Gerald Paddio. This is a muchbetter trade than sending Al Wood to Dallas for Dale Ellis, generally considered the best Sonic tradeever. Time will tell, but that trade is likely to be no better than third- or fourth-best after the trade for Gilland the separate deal for Perkins are considered. Meanwhile, Phoenix did add A.C. Green, a solid, butunspectacular, player for many years with the Los Angeles Lakers. That comes nowhere near makingup for their loss of last year's rookie sensation Richard Dumas. Dumas is out for the year while he goesto rehabilitation for breaking the league's drug abuse policies for a second time. Also, how will Barkley'sback hold out over an entire NBA season?

They both watched the best season they had in years come to a screeching halt in theirseason finale. Western lost a heartbreaker to the Central Washington University Wildcats, 42-28 in aMount Rainier League-Columbia Football Association game at Ellensburg Nov. 13. Running back Tom Craven entered the game with only seven carries all year for the Wildcats, but he saved the best for lastas he ran for 153 yards and four touchdowns on 26 carries. The win earned Central a berth in theNAIA Division II National Playoffs and the Vikings a trip home, contemplating what might have been.Craven, who filled in for an injured Marc Jones, had 127 yards and three touchdowns in the second half and opened the scoring on a 1-yard run. Western running back Jon Brunaugh tied the game on a 9-yard scamper late in the first quarter. The Wildcats broke the game open by scoringthenext21 pointsand a 28-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. Central quarterback Jon Kitna completed 20 of 26 passes for215 yards and one touchdown, including one stretch where he completed 12 out of 13. Brunaugh,who finished the game with 64 yards on 16 carries, ended the year with 1,036 yards, making him thefirst Viking to have two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Western quarterback Jason Stiles threw for acareer-high 352 yards and had two touchdown passes, giving him a school-record 20 for the season.Stiles had a good day passing, but completed only 22 out of 49 attempts. Despite the loss, Westernplaced a school-record 16 players on the CFA-MRL all-star team. The team is selected by the league'scoaches. Leading the way are two unanimous first-team selections - Brunaugh, who was picked for thesecond time, and comerback Orlondo Steinauer. Steinauer also earned first-team honors as a puntreturner. He had 63 tackles and three pass interceptions, while averaging 10.4 yards on 19 puntreturns.

Earning second-teamrecognition were kickoff returner Stacy Avila, strong safety Randy Carter, offensive guard Joe DeShaw, defensive tackle Scott Easley, tight endChristian Evans, wide receiver Eric Meek, defensive tacklePaul Selle and quarterback Stiles. Stiles ranked ninth nationally in passing (249.8 average.) Defensiveend Mike Dunford, linebacker Chris Keeffe, offensive tackle Vince Mazzarella and cornerback ChrisWitherspoon received honorable mention. Western finished the season with a 6-3 record and ranked19th in the final NAIA Division II National Poll. The Vikings can look back at their season and behappy about the 6-1 start, their best since 1958. Western was ranked seventh going into the season'seighth week, the highest ranking in school history. Their accomplishments will probably beovershadowed by their three devastating losses to number one ranked Pacific Lutheran University,number three Central Washington University and number 12 Linfield University.

Hislatest accomplishment has been writing a book about himself. Jordan recently releaseda 114-pagephotographic autobiography including a number of previously unpublished pictures and text givingsome insight to his life and his desire to play basketball. In his book, "Rare Air Michael on Michael,"almost each page is covered with color prints of Jordan doing everything from bathing with hischildren to flying through the air in his usual manner. Walter Iooss Jr., a famous sports photojoumalist, spent a year with Jordan photographing his life. The large, glossy "rare air" sells for $25. The photo'sare beautiful and the text is subtle, but striking. Jordan writes on subjects that not only surprise butfascinate the reader. The text was edited by Mark Vancil and is published by Collins Publishers of SanFrancisco. "When I step on to the court, I'm ready to play. And if you're playing against me, then you'd better be ready too. If you're not going to compete, then I'll dominate you," Jordan says in his book.Only Jordan can make a statement like that and get away with i t Jordan, titled the best basketballplayer to ever play the game, retired in early October. Throughout the book, the reader is given insightinto the superstar's personal life, something that has been hidden from the world until now. "I know all of this is hard for my children. I try to provide a normal life for them. But right now I can't be there for LittleLeague practice," Jordan writes. The photos and text show that Jordan is a real life individual. He shareshow he feels about pre-game preparation, competition on the court, post-game thoughts, his family, hisleisure life and the past playoffs season. At the end of the book, Iooss Jr. provides an index withcaptions for each of the pictures. Some pages have just one line of text with a related picture on thefacing page. "I was always the type of guy that went for the home run," reads one caption while on thefacing page is a picture of Jordan in the driver's seat of his black Ferrari wearing sun glasses. Jordanshares a number of his pre-game rituals, including what he eats and why. "My pre-game meal is steakand potatoes," he writes. "People say I eat like a bird and that's true. Birds eat just enough to fly. Allthose birds that eat a lot end up getting eaten themselves. Turkeys, and chickens." From the court andthe golf course, to the living room and locker room â€” it's all here in "rare air;" truly a rare look at one of the most famous sports stars of all time. Coalition poll doesn't help national championship game 1 hebowl coalition is a disgrace to college athletics and is an injustice to schools located between theMississipppiRiver to the West Coast. The bowl coa- By James iition combines the Lawson points fromthe staff reporter USA Today/CNN coaches poll and the Associated Press media poll. The bowlcoalition has only one advantage â€” if bowl-conference alliances don't interfere, a 1-2 showdown for the national championship is mandatory. Teams from the Big Ten and the Pac- Ten are hurt because of this coalition poll. Both leagues are required to send their best team to the Rose Bowl, which is not a part of the bowl coalition, so a national championship cannot be won on the field unless the top two teams inthe country are from the Big Ten and the Pac-Ten. The people who run the bowl coalition are probablydancing in the streets since the highest ranked team from the Pac-Ten is 16th-rankedUCLA. After lastweekends' Florida State-Notre Dame thriller, the race for the number two ranking is up for grabs. Withthe win, Notre Dame (10-0) is number 1 in both the coaches poll and the media poll, which is rightfullydeserved. The Associated Press, however, has ranked Florida State (9-1) number 2, ahead of unbeatenand untied Nebraska. If a team is untied and unbeaten going into the last two weeks, it should be ranked higher than a team with a loss or a tie. Florida State had their chance to prove to the nation, by beatingNotre Dame in South Bend, that they were the best team in the country. They lost! A rematch betweenthe two schools would accomplish absolutely nothing. If Florida S tate beat Notre Dame in the FiestaBowl, then who is number 1? They both beat each other, meaning Nebraska or West Virginia (9-0) mayvery well steal the national championship. What if Nebraska lost in the Orange Bowl to probablyMiami, and West Virginia lost, then the voters would be in a frantic scramble. What would they do?Vote for a third meeting between Notre Dame and Florida State. If there is a team with a perfect recordafter all the big bowl games, a number-one ranking and a national championship must be rewarded.

The Vikings spent themajority of the second and third periods short-handed because of an imbalance of penalties. In the 50-minute game, Western was assessed 55 penalty-minutes, including two game-misconducts, to Seattle's18 minutes. "The penalties were killing us," West-em center Cary Ghunyk said. "We had to double-shift our centers. The guys on the bench were getting cold and the guys out there double-shifting weregetting tired." Western's defensemen, particularly Stan Czenikek and Paul Rogness, took pressure offthe forwards by bringing the puck up off the ice by themselves. "Czenikek and Rogness are our top twodefenders. They skate the puck as well as play good defense," Chunyk said. The defense helped tocounter Seattle's strategy of cutting off the forwards and intercepting the defensemen's passes, Chunyksaid. "When our forwards are tied up, we have defensemen that will skate, instead of just stay back andtry a pass. As soon as those guys (Seattle's defense) let us (the forwards) go, we come in for therebounds," Chunyk said. The counter proved effective as Czenikek scored two short-handed goals, oneunassisted, and assisted on a third. Chunyk said the team expected the game to be physical. "Wecame out ready to take a beating," Chunyk said. Seattle coach HowardHughes said he thought a fewpenalties, especially the game misconducts, were deserved. "That's what happens sometimes; they(the players) get carried away," Hughes said. "When the youngerplayers (Seattle) play the olderplayers (Western), the older players get peeved." With just 57 seconds left in the second period,Western's Jason Shaw checked an off-balance Tracy Burros from behind and into the boards. Burrossuffered a possible broken nose and had a wide gash above his right eye. The referees needed a shovelto scrape the blood off the ice. Late in the third period, Czenikek received a two-minute penalty forspearing and an accompanying ten-minute game-misconduct Seattle took advantage of the loss ofCzenikek and Western's fatigue, scoring three times in the final three minutes. The rally fell short,however, as Western's offense controlled the puck in Seattle's zone during the last minute of play.Western goalie Dave Stark was the difference in the end, Chunyk said. "He caught every rebound. Hemade five or six outstanding saves. The only goals they (Seattle) scored were either flukes orscreens," Chunyk said.

Unfortunately, his confidence seems to be a year premature. The American League did all itcould to help the Mariners win a division tide next year. They realigned the divisions, moving two of the three teams that finished ahead of the M's last season out of the AL West and into a brand-new ALCentral. Moving to the Central from the West are the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals.Staying in the West are the M's, the Texas Rangers, By Brett Nickelson staff reporter the CaliforniaAngels, the Minnesota Twins and the Oakland Athletic's. Even in this weak division, the M's will onlyfinish second next year. Not because the team they have right now isn't good enough to win it, but for the worst reason a fan can think ofâ€” money, or rather lack thereof, on the part of Mariner ownership. TheM's have already traded away number four starter Erik Hanson and starting second baseman Bret Boonefor two unproven players from the Cincinatti Reds. The move was made mainly to cut down on the payroll. Hanson wassupposed to make more than $1.5 million this year and Boone more than $150,000, whilethe players acquired will make about $250,000 combined. The M's also decided not to offer a free-agentcontract to last year's starting catcher Dave Valle. The team estimates they would have had to pay Vallemore than $4 million next year to keep him. Hanson and Valle aren't stars in major league baseball.(Those salaries sure do look like they are, don't they?!) But, they were an important part of last year'swinning team. The truth is, the blame for SeatUe not winning a weak division next year doesn' t lie withthe ownership. This year, the M's lost about $ 15 million and they expect to lose about $10 million nextyear, so they need to cut the payroll. The fans aren't to blame either. Last year they came out in recordnumbers for Mariner baseball and for once averaged in the middle of Major League Baseball forattendance. Only baseball itself can be blamed, with its skyrocketing salaries that run its ownpeople to bankruptcy. Two years from now the story will be different, though. The young players will really come through for the team and will take the division title we have been waiting for. LSAT EXPERTSKAPLAN 1-800-KAP-TEST MAYTAG LAUNDRY We honor all competitor coupons.

Some families in Bellinghamare just hoping to have a meal on Thanksgiving. Right now, Bellingham food bank supplies are at thelowest level they have ever been. This is disturbing because it is so close to the holidays â€”traditionally a time when food banks encourage and receive donations. It is up to us as students, andlater as graduates, to remember that families exist who need our help to put food on the table. It is alsoup to us to make an effort to help them. Food banks shouldneverhave to raise a cry for help, but theyoften do. Even as students, we need to realize some children are eating Top Ramen every night. Everyone.especially children, needs to eat right every day to develop mentally and physically. Imagine, then, a kindergartner who can't concentrate enough to learn her ABC's because she is so hungry. Collegestudents may say they don't have time to eat right, but at least they usually have a choice. In today'seconomic climate, it is not easy for many people to live as they would like, but it is even harder for those who are unemployed and cannotfind work. The problem is not exclusively one of tradesmen or skilledworkers, but includes college graduates as well. When you support the food bank, you may behelping out a Western graduate. The Homecoming Committee should be applauded for its efforts tosupport local food banks with its "Not-Just-Food-Drive" at all Homecoming events. The Nov. 4showingof"In the Line of Fire" charged a reduced admission fee for those students who brought a can of food to the movie. This is a great idea that shouldn'tbe used only for Homecoming or the holiday season. Year-round donation programs at differentcampuseventscouldhelp the community on a continuous basis.Even the children at the Associated Students Child Development Center have gotten involved withhelping the needy. Last year, the children brought in food items to donate to the food bank, going on afield trip to drop the food at a donation site. If pre-schoolers care enough togetinvolved, shouldn't we "big kids" do the same? Another good service on campus is the "Adopt-a-Family" program in which Marriottparticipates with a homeless shelter and "adopts" a needy family during the holiday season. Youmay have noticed the Christmas tree in Plaza Pizza in past yearsâ€”it's not just there for decoration.The presents beneath the tree are donations for the family. Students can help by donating items forthe "adopted" family, as well. A lot of opportunities are available to support the food banks. Thinkback to a Thanksgiving when you had a great time stuffing yourself. This year, give somebody thechance to do the same. Just don't forget that people are hungry year-round, and your donations arealways welcome. nightline WTA's New Evening Service â€” An Idea Whose TimeT^^^ "Mightline",WTA'snew evening service, connects d o w n t o ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ i WWU, Sehome Village and Fairhaven to thesouth and the B l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ area to the north, using the same bus stops as the daytime roul|j||fservice begins at 6:45 p.m. weekdays and 6:00 p.m. Saturdays, s^K^WKSM to 11:20 p.m. bothweekdays and Saturdays.

Now that the cold war is over and communism is dead, the only battle left to fight is on the economic front. Dissatisfied with being one of the world'srichest countries, America is now striving to expand its marketing powers and saturate the globaleconomy. This may not be the greatest of evils; expansion and economic growth are both fine and good.But the question is: Who stands to gain the most from this growth? Big business, that's who. Again, this is not necessarily a problem, at least not as long as there were some way to ensure that the little guy,the American laborer, would not be crushed under the wheels of progress. History has shown, however,that when government and money join hands the worker is typically leftholding the short end of the stick.Even this might be an acceptable sacrifice if concessions were made by the businesses who would bereaping the profits from these new trade agreements. The capitalist money-mongers could make good bygiving a portion of their new found wealth to contribute to any number of social programs â€” aiding thefight against homelessness, AIDS research, education â€” or cleaning up the environment. There are noconcessions planned, however. At least none that have been made known publicly. The real problem,then, is that not enough information has been provided. Those with the most to lose â€” middle-classAmerica â€” need to have a greater voice in the decision to either accept or reject this package. It mustnot be left solely in the hands of the politicians who are obviously guided by special interest groups.Before this landmark change is made, more dialogue needs to take placeso-thaÂ£aninformed public mayhave the final vote. Sure, there was themuchpublicized Gore/Perot debate onNAFTA. And there havebeen various editorials printed nation-wide, giving voice to those that are adamantly on either side of theissue. The NAFTA package was only released less than two weeks ago, so how is intelligent debateexpected to take place on the subject? As it stands, and no matter how you slice it â€” whether it's"NAFTA ya HAFTA" or "Not this NAFTA" â€” the media blitz has been short of informational. It's just been an endless barrage of catchy buzzwords that only serve to further cloud the issue in the mind of theaverage American. If NAFTA is to pass hurriedly, the common worker may not get the chance to speakup again as he or she is silenced by the wheels of "progress" and history is made. â€”Kevin Perron,Editor-in-Chief WheM?estern front Edltor-In-ChIef, Kevin Perron; Managingeditor,R.NinaRult;Airai;Nevrecditor,Margret :GrltÂ§f|!$^ Schweizer, co-Features editors.

Whenentering college, students are told that for every hour of class there should be two hours of homework.This is bull. Try taking the one-credit library science class and doing only two hours of homework aweek to keep up. It's not going to happen. The amount of work expected outside of the classroomis irrational and unfair. Some courses require field trips on evenings and weekends, and if you're unableto attend, your grade suffers. Sure, we are in college to gain an education, and no one said it was going to be easy, but it's just about impossible. Another problem with low-credit classes is that you have totake more of them in order to reach the minimum credit load, or the typical credit load of 15. Suddenly,youfindyourselfdoingdoubleduty: six classes and 45 hours of work, all for 15 credits. Things get evenmore difficult when you have a class that meets once or twice a week for more than one hour. Now that's a joy. Triple-time on the homework scale. There must be a way to give credit for the vast amounts ofextra time spent outside of class on homework, projects, field trips or what have you. Professors areunreasonable when they expect students to spend an additional 10 to 12 hours a week for a three-credit class. For some inconceivablereason, professors seem to think that their course is the onlycourse you are taking. They seem to gain great satisfaction on that fateful, first day of class when theyhand out the syllabus and watch your jaw drop to the desk. Then, there are those professors who wait until after the add/ drop period before springing more work. This may or may not be intentional, but italways seems to work out that way. You are trapped with no way out. A two-credit class may end upconsuming your schedule and your life. Five-credit classes begin to take a back seat to those of lowercredit because you are attempting to keep your head above water. At least with a five-credit class, yougo every day so you have a better chance of retaining the material. You've justspentthepastweekresearching a paper for one of your three-credit classes. You spent four hours a night in the librarydevoted to this paper. As you are cramming to get a paper done you start to think to yourself: "This isonly three credits â€” Aaargh!" It is understood that there are projects from time to time in classes thatconsume your time. What is being discussed here are classes that never let up. You signed up for three credits and you're doing the work of 10. Homework credit is something to consider in the future. It isamethodofkeeping students sane. Students may then begin to feel like their work is actually worthsomething. If the homework-credit idea doesn't work, someone needs to sit all the professors down in abig room and tell them how it is because maybe they have forgotten. College is tough.butit doesn'tneed to drive students into the ground.

"Regulation" is not appropriate to describe WE CAN (Western Environment Connecting Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse Norms). The Wellness Centerdoes not attempt to "regulate" anything nor does it "assume" anything from students. lam nota"BigBrother." I am a student, former dorm resident and Wellness Center staff member. Last year I wasthe Outreach Speakers Bureau Coordinator and now I am the Peer Topic Specialists Coordinator.Anyone who has ever been to a Lifestyle Advisor program knows that we don't assume that anyone isalcohol-consuming, alcohol-abstinent, drug-using, drug-free, heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual,asexual, sexually active, sexually abstinent, abusive, non-abusive, abused, non-abused. Contrary to your beliefs, the Wellness Center has not taken on the role of parent, but of educator. Western students are"in an environment where they are expected to be learning to make their own decisions-for better orworse." The Wellness Center's projects are not designed to "restrictfreedom of choice"but to expand theoptions they have to choose from. A broad spectrum of alcohol consumption exists ranging fromabstinence to alcoholism. Social norms or paradigms, already provide a comfortable environment for people who drink. I think providing an environment comfortable for those who don't drink or chooseconsumption-free surroundings if necessary. The point is, whether or not students choose to exist in analcohol-free environment for whatever reason is their "choice" OH, UUA7 $gt;07lT OfÂ£YFÂ£Â£/MÂ£/UT OTTO QNDCUVCICY HflVS Â£Â£V LocKBP IA/ A flOOfij foil 24 /hlOVRSâ€”UlTtt RUSH LWBtoW SHOVSJ â€¢ x 0 ^ OIC, fiJoulSTVS, see uffAT ^Â£M\JÂ£CÂ£EATÂ£P!
