There will be a meeting of the Seattle club on Thursday morning immediately after assembly for a few minutes. Bring your dues and an idea written on a piece of paper for the improvement of the club. Without these two things we can do nothing. The proceeds of the Thespian play of this year will be given over to some worthy cause in connection with the war. Nothing more than this is known at present. The exact benefit to which it will be given has not as yet been decided. MILITARY PARTY Tuesday. Feb. 19, at 4:10, in the bio gym, the' Y. W. C. A. girls will entertain the student body and faculty in honor of the new students, at a military party. Watch the bulletin board for the poster and sign your name and the division in which you wish to serve. Everybody save the date and come prepared to have a good time. ATTENTION Arthur Waldwyn Evans, the Welsh wit, and humorist, scheduled for our ly-ceum course on Monday evening. Feb. 18, will be a treat that none of us can afford to miss. He treats a deeply serious subject with the light fascinating touch of an artist and holds the audience with intoxicating merriment throughout the evening. It takes essentially the hand of a master to tell "What America Means to Me" in a time like the present and at the same time keep the audience amused. Mr. Evans' former success is enough recommendation but for those who ask more we might say that he is a relative of David Lloyd George, the British Premier; is widely travelled and thoroughly familiar with political conditions the world over.

MILLER RECEIVES I R E PRAISE FOR BOOK The following article was taken from the "New England Journal of Education," Boston. Jan. 17: "Education for the Needs of Life," by Irving E. Miller, Ph. D. "Through clear statements of clarified thinking along lines of real needs of the child .youth and adult life, the author is helpfully informing, intelligently, suggestive and inspiringly intensive. No one can carefully study 'Education for the Needs of Life" without having a broader vision of the mission and message of the teacher. It is a book which guarantees success through teaching and the vitalization of learning on the part of reader or student." KLIPSUN CONTEST PRIZES The Board of Control has voted to offer alluring prizes for the best contributions to the Literary Dopartm„n lt; of this year's Klipsun. For the best short story $10.00 will be given ;for the second best, $5.00. Other prizes are: Best essay on a current topic. $5.00. second best, $2.50: best poem, $5.00, second best, $2.50. The judges chosen for the contest are Mr. Glenn Hughes. Miss Mabel Zoc Wilson, and Miss Georgia Springer. Other details regarding the length of manuscripts and the time limit for their being handed in will be announced within a short time. In the meantime, the Literary Editor, Mr. Frisk, is anxious that a larger number of contributions should be commenced. S NEXT WEEK "Education for the Needs of Life" is the title of Dr. I. E. Miller's new book. This is also the theme of the Second Rural Life Conference which will be held the evening of March 20th, continuing through the 21st and 22nd. The program which is being prepared at considerable effort will be sent out in the near future. It consists of new films and no long waits. Every seat should be occupied before the lights are turned out for the first reel. Come for the beginning act and stay until the choir sings, "Hallelujah 'tis done." Lunch will be served at the building between scenes so there will be nothing missed by delayed jitneys, or by waits for the goose to be served when it had not been caught. Side shows will be conducted during the time the big tent is dark. One will admit the business man who wants to learn what psychology has to do with the price of foodstuff. Another will tell how to secure hard-tack in our own back yard, not at the front. A third will tell how to knit a sock that could be used either for a mitt or a helmet. (Continued on Page Eight) . STEINER'S LECTUR! IAL INTEREST A large and appreciative audience listened to the lecture by Dr. Edward A. Steincr on January Sth. He brought us an inspiring message, his subject being, "The Challenge of American Spirit.'" "There are others to be blamed for starting the war," said Dr. Steincr. "Peace canont come too soon, and as to what will happen when the war does end. no one knows. The future is a sealed book. "Most reluctantly this nation entered the war after closely watching the trend of affairs, and out of a peaceful people has come one of the most remarkable armies of the period. Neverbefore has there been a cleaner, braver, finer set of men in the cantonments under the stars and stripes, than there is today. This nation is a more unified and well moulded structure than can be found among the other nations. For example, the Germans are hammered together an-1 not moulded. The United States is politically united and even the one-third of our population are of foreign blood, yet we are trying to make a people out of many nationalities. The determining fin-tor if one is an American is not that lie was born here, but born again after coming here. It is spirit rather than blood. "The two factors which make a nation hold its people, are its language and its history. This country is destined to be an English-speaking nation. It has remained triumphant, and has crept into the speech of the foreigners. "America is a history of people—not of kings and dynasties." Dr. Steiner paid high tribute to Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt. Taft. Byron, Wilson and other Americans and he said that the people arc as ready to thrill at the sight of the Stars and Stripes as they ever were. L LIFE CLUB So many are asking of the schools of the state, that plans be worked out in harmony with the country's needs. This, in brief, is the plan proposed by the Rural Life Conference which will be held in the Normal School, Bellingham, Wash,. March 20-21-22. Sections will be arranged in which definite, practical relations will be discussed. The business man will discuss Education in Business. Educational Methods in Religion will have a place; war cooking and war sewing will be demonstrated; in short, every phase of the needs of the country will be on the program. Supt. Ethel Everett of Whatcom County, has decided to have all of her teachers present for the full time. At least two other counties will assist by having part or all of their teachers here. A STORY THAT THE CENSOR 1 NOT SEE There has always been a ieeling that the fields are greener far away—and we never recognize the geniuses with whom we come in contact da/ by day. Clever students of human nature sometimes keep their discoveries hidden from view and pursue their daily work on equal footing with the most commonplace. I have before me a widely circulated eastern magazine, with a very strong article entitled, "Home and School," written by Professu gt;- O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin and when I had finished reading it, I turned the pige* and my eyes fell upon this title, "Her Eldest Son," a short story, fully illustrated, beautifully written, and charmingly told by our own Olive Edens. I knew this would interest the students, and I knew also that Miss Edens is literary critic for the Messenger, and again I know if she sees this article that it would come to an untimely end in the waste basket, so I am taking a chance and putting one over on Miss Edens by handing it in without her criticism. On Lincoln's birthday the Junior Red Cross campaign began with a program in the assembly. The campaign will be waged for the next ten days, ending with Washington's birthday, and it is hoped that during this time many ?ie\v members will be added to the organization and greater interest shown in it.J. work. In the past week the. grammar grade girls, with the aid of a few Normal girls, have completed four little dresses for Belgian children. CHORAL CLUB CONCERT Mrs. Thatcher gave another one of her creditable concents Friday evening.

President Nash's opening words were of appalling and dreadful import. The morning papers had stated the opinion of one Mr. Russell, American envoy to Russia, concerning the probable supremacy of Germany's arms as a result of the Bolsheviki treaty with that country. Dr. Nash admitted the seriousness of the conditions in regard to the safety of Democracy and Democracy's Allies. But he also affirmed his optimism, saying that the United States will win, she must win! But oh! the need of the help of even the least of us who live under the Stars and Stripes. Our first duty is to keep up courage and hope in the breasts of our soldiers—a thing that lies in the power of us all. These few words served as an introduction to the talk of Mr. Short, a resident of Bellingham, a patriot seeking ways to help the "boys." After a brief discussion of our soldiers' need of relaxation from their hours of toil, and what this recreation means to them, he gave to us a tangible means of bringing to the camps a little of innocent cheer. All Yankees are lovers of the modern "movie"—the place where one may go and live many lives in many countries, and forget the narrow confines of daily labor.

He held up before the students tiny books which contained twenty different worldly careers, twenty different experiences of human lives, twenty different meanings, joys and sorrows. He offered these for sale at the small price of $1.00 which will help America in her crisis to avert the onslaught of the bloody, vicious Hun. Our dollar will send these twenty shows as messengers of love and cheer to those who long for them so much. We know that Mr. Short's endeavors will not be fruitless. Mr. Short was followed by Rev. Duncan McPhail of the Baptist church oi this city, who gave a very appropriate and original speech on Lincoln and his work for humanity. His opening word?, full of promise, hope and truth, were, "In the New Testament we find that a man was sent from God whose name was John." He went on to say that that has been God's great gift to mankind all through the ages; every generation or so he sends a man of Godlike principles to emancipate and bring the people to a little higher civilization and intellectual progression. In the time of the Dark Plague of Uncle Sam, a man of God appeared whose name was Abraham Lincoln. The anecdotes of his honesty are so well known, that Rev. McPhail did not think it necessary to say any more than, "The proverb is true in all instances; 'honesty is the best policy !' " He then described Lincoln's industry, in words which led us to recognize the stupendous blessing Lincoln's words portended, when he said, upon seeing the slaves, "If ever, by the help of God, I am able to strike a blow against this nefarious practice. I will do so and do it hard." He was shocked at the suggestive fact that these poor creatures were able to sing and be jolly amidst their degredation; that they had become as dumb brutes satisfied- with brute treatment. Well, by the help of God he did strike a blow and one that, resounded and echoed through the world. His common sense showed most plainly in his knowledge and treatment of human nature—his tactful intuition in the use of his tongue. When asked at one time his opinion of Sheridan,- his words were, "Sheridan, Oh! Sheridan! Well, I will tell you what I think of him. He is one of these men with long arms and short legs who is able to scratch his shins without stooping. That's what I think of Sheridan." What meaning his empty words conveyed! His mercy is the quality which healed the nation's wounds and refined the nation's people. Rev. McPhail's quoting of Portia's famous "Mercy Speech," never came in more apportunely. His faith was strong and true. When discussing the surety of God's being on the side of the North, he replied, in his great, gentle voice, "It does not worry me if God is on our side; the supreme question is whether we are on God's side." The Double Quartet report that they have had delightful times at the various places where they have sung. Last Saturday they had an especially enjoyable evening at Laurel, while on Tuesday they were at Eureka. Ella Wilken and Heloise Eggers look rather lonesome without their chafing dishes.

THE EXCHANGE A LIVE WIRE Have you seen the "Exchange?" It is a little paper published right here in our print shop in the interest of commercial work, home economies, rural school and industrial arts education. Mr. Scudder, the editor, says he is only the middle man for the exchange of ideas, and is encouraging the teachers now in the field to tell through the paper how they are solving their problems. Besides this valuable correspondence the paper contains valuable manual training projects with diagrams for making, and other interesting features. the program of the Canadian Club last Friday evening.

RURAL LIFE " A club that is successfully training its members for future teachers, in more lines than one, especially parliamentary drill, is our Rural Life club. After our sectional meetings on Thursday, Feb. 7, we adjourned to the main assembly room for our business meeting and program, where a delightful evening was enjoyed. In the absence of Rudie Oltman, who has enlisted in the navy, we elected Myrle Onstine chairman of the membership committee, and Herbert Davis as vice-president of the club. Mr. Klemme, who has been away on extension work, was given a hearty welcome back into the club. He gave us a most stirring talk on the requirements of the rural school teacher. Miss Keeler then told us, in a very clever and interesting way, the history of our club gavel. The gavel was then presented to the president by Lael Eas-terbrooks. This being "Lincoln night" in our club, an especially good program was given: Some interesting incidents of Lincoln's life—Ruth Swartz. What we owe to Abraham Lincoln- Margaret Murray. FOR SEATTLEITES ONLY Act. I. Bellingham. Scene—Normal school. Halls, classrooms, groups of intelligent, superior-looking people around mumbling to themselves the following: "We are from Seattle, but if you value your life don't tell anybody. We are ashamed of it and have succeeded Glasses, once the sign of age, are now the sign of good sense. If you cannot study with eye comfort the sooner you consult Woll the better. 205 West Hollv Street. splendidly in keeping the awful fact almost universally unknown since September. We must admit we did thaw out once for College Club night bur, hurried right back under cover." The year will soon be over now and if we can only keep up our past record and if our rubber-soled shoes don't wear out, we will be able to pat ourselves on the back, draw a big sigh of relief, as we stealthily step on the night boat and say, "Thank goodness! • a whole year at the Normal and nobody knows where we're from!" And then we will put our hands into our pockets and with miserly joy take out the quarter that we saved the last semester. We will look at it. turn it over and over, bite it maybe, and say to ourselves nobly, but perchance a little sadly, "You little quarter—my dues for last semester, it was you who made the Seattle club' die, it was you, with my help^ who made it the worst club in school when it ought to have been the biggest and best; we are pretty poor little boosters, you and I." We shall think what we might have done, the friends we might have made—had we had the interest we ought to have had in our club. THESPIANS MEET A rare treat was given the Thespians at their last meeting when Miss Eden.s delightfully told of some of the theatres and plays she had seen while in England and France. The following officers were elected: President—Johnny Miller. Vice-President—Marie Armstrong. Secretary—Myrtle Pugsley. Treasurer—Rainhardt Hanson. Sergeant-at-Arms—Paul Washke. Messenger Reporter—Helen Upper. WEIR INN Mabel Trafton spent the week end at her home in Anacortes. Emmet Tupper is visiting his wife, who is attending Normal.

Games were played, after which came "eats" long to be remembered by all those present. One of the main features was a snowy-white cake adorned with twenty red candles. Frances blew them out with two puffs. Wonder what that signifies? The girls at the Cedars are much interested in war cooking. Anna Brown has made a sjjccialty of cornmeal muffins. She will be glad to give all of those so desiring a sample, as she still has a quantity to spare. Spring is surely on the way. Jewel Smith and Marian Osborn are already planning their gardens. Virgil Ranton and Elizabeth Gwinn were callers at the Cedars during the past week. Two lost dogs have made their home at the hall. If the owners will call for the canines, no reward will be requested. One girl among our crowd, Marian Osborn, has distinguished herself by going to bed before ten o'clock for the entire past quarter. DON'T MISS n ew Gas and Wood and Coal Range.

The person who is always giving a piece of his mind is usually the person who has the least mind to spare—Anon. VIRTUE AND HABIT Too many people have the idea that virtue is worth while only when it is on exhibition. Note, for instance, the expression "company manners." Should a person be any less courteous when hi? does not have visitors than when lie does? Does he mean to say, by this expression that he does not bother about being polite when no one is watching? We have seen this same style of reasoning in other things. A few days ago a student was rehearsing a recitation to be given in public, and when it was remarked that that person's standing position was not good, the reply came, "Oh. this is only practice, I'll stand correctly when I get on the stage." Here is where so many people make a serious mistake. They do not realize that if they cultivate good habits in private these habits will follow them into public, and that bad habits will-do the same. The formation of good habits involves the study of self, the untiring correction of bad habits, and the repeated performance of acts that are as difficult in their accomplishment as they are worth while after they become habitual. So all progress is made in the development of the. individual. After he has mastered one good habit, and made it a part of himself, he is ready for the next, and so he builds himself up. Some one has said that the individual is one great bundle of habits. If this is true, it makes some difference whether the habits are .good or bad, and we readily see what we are doing for ourselves every time we acquire a good habit. "WHAT WE NEED IS SHIPS" Comradship Comradship is a large word, a large-hearted word, that makes of one "his brother's keeper." It is one of the EDIMIA1S sweetest things in life, and having the spirit of comradship covers often a multitude of sins. There are persons who do not discriminate carefully, that imagine that •'•'chums" arc "comrades," but it is a serious error. We may be '•'chummy" with a few people and lack the essentials of comradship utterly. And what is this comradship then that is so desirable? It has three distinctive characteristics, namely, helpfulness, or service, not to a few,—our friends, but to whomever we may meet; unselfisn-ncss, not counting the cost to yourself for serving; and cheerfulness, which gives a sweet savor to the whole. Easy to acquire, and simple in nature, isn't it? It is the characteristic of a good soldier, of a true friend, of a successful student, and of thorough gentleman or woman, the world over. It belongs to the one who lias a cheery "good morning" for every fellow being rc-ing regardless of station, ability or personal beauty; to the man who slaps his employee on the back and says, "Your wife better this morning, my man?" To the man who lifts as gently from the dust a homely dressed, ignorant woman, as a charming, pretty girl; to the soldier who shares his last drop of water in "No Man's Land." Indeed, it is the true spirit of the Christ as it seeks to dwell in men's hearts, and when the world around, there lives in the hearts of the individual his comradeliness, the great Brotherhood of Man will be established with peace on earth. Be a comrade to the one who rubs elbows with you. whether he be a dear friend or whether you hardly know his name. But of all the ships, comradeship is the best, for it includes us all. WHY! The other evening As I was walking Down the street Meditating Upon Rev. Conwell's Lecture, it seemed to me There was a great And urgent Need Right here Under our noses in our own Normal And wondered why Bill Edson, Or some one, Didn't get busy And make his Name famous, His memory Honored And commemorated And blessed By student Teachers, For such honor Awaits him Who invents An automatic Lesson plan writer. —G. M. Lvon. S Q U I B S We would like to know who induced Crete Gray to join the Sparklers' club. Phil Montague has decided to not "visit" Miss Boring's Social Science class in the future. We would like to know why Gig Davis is all dolled up like a million dollars. A student jokingly said to Mr. Kibbe: "Is your hair dyed?" Mr. Kibbe replied, "Yes. most of it has." They say Miss Cummins is an expert shot with a rifle. Perhaps that explains her power as a disciplinarian. Miss Georgia Springer has been chosen student judge of the literary work for the Klipsun. We know of no student more capable. Jessie and Vera Merchant spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Madsen at Lyn-den. They say it takes seven dollars' worth of fuel to heat the big assembly, and we are wondering what is being done with the other six dollars and ninety cents. In spite of the fact that war cookery is required, the student body is much interested in the work. Miss Ormsby is easily the master of the unusual situation, and apparently finds no more difficulty in handling a class of seven or eight hundred students than is ordinarily experienced in a class of twenty-five. With her skill and personality, Miss Ornisby inspires a desire to make use of all the demonstrations she gives, and it is generally admitted that all of the students are interested and are finding the results satisfactory as well as profitable, when cric-f" out. He—"Why is Carver like a Pullman car ?" She—"I give up." He—"Because he's some coach. Mr. Beaver:—"Before I begin to talk, there are several things I want to say."

PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 February 16 - Page 6 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1918 AMONG BOOKS By Glenn Hughes VI. Arnold Bennett:—It seems almost an insult to one's intelligence and education to be told facts about Arnold Bennett, and yet there may be a few individuals to whom the name is unfamiliar. This English writer of the younger generation has been in vogue for approximately ten years now, and has been discussed in magazines and drawing-rooms and class-rooms at quite regular intervals during those years. Estimates as to his place in modern literature vary widely— due in large measure to the fact that his style and literary method are in some points extreme. Every one agrees, however, that now and then at least Bennett has hit a high water mark of fiction. Disparaging criticisms arise mostly from those who dislike journalistic qualities in literature—for Bennett is a first-rate journalist. There is little doubt but that "The Old Wives' Tale," a novel of considerable length and detail, is Bennett's masterpiece of writing. The conception of the1 work, explained interestingly in the author's preface, is an original and daring one; the execution is certainly an amazing product. It came near setting an entirely new model of realism. The reader is astounded for months after he has Had the book aside, at the ability of a man to carry him through several hundred pages of sordid and woefully commonplace details, and then leave him with the sense of having read one of the great tragedies of modern literature. This is exactly what Bennett succeeds in doing. There is no use attempting to deny the presence of great art in this work. Another of his important contributions to the late novel is a triology—a fine STUDENTS If you are going to have photographs made, why not have quality and good workmanship. It is this that gives our photographs a style and finish, lacking in the most of work turned out.

Patronize Your Next Door Neighbor Our Goods and Prices are Right L set of narratives, with superb characterizations— going under the titles, "Clay-hanger," "Hilda Lessways," and "These Twain." The three were published separately, in their chronological order, and excited considerable interest and suspense on the part of English and American readers. (For it is only fair to say that America really recognized Bennett before England did; and this is a rare occurrence. Three or four years ago Bennett made a trip to the United States, his first venture, and his keen wit was impressed in a most fascinating manner. His reactions to our institutions, our supposedly native characteristics, and our large cities, are recorded in vigorous, colorful style in a volume called "Your United States." It is on the travel shelf in our library. Bennett as a dramatist is known chiefly by "Milestones," which is not purely his, as Arthur Knoblauch collaborated with him in its creation. However, there are three other volumes of Bennett's plays on our shelves. "The Honeymoon" is a three-act comedy, "What the Public Wants" is a four-act comedy-satire, "Polite Farces" is a collection of one-act drawing-room comedies—comedies that act well and read rapidly. They all contain a sufficient .number of laughs to justify them. As an essayist, this versatile writer is exceptionally successful. He adopts a breezy, familiar, superficially clever style in order to catch the tired business man and the casual reader. He cannot turn mental flip-flops as can Chesterton or Shaw, but he can illustrate hi3 ideas with a convincing punch, and that is all that one can ask of a novelist and playwright. "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" is his most popular collection of prose discussions. The contents of this thin volume are as ingenious as their title; they also contain much good sense. "The Human Machine," and "Mental Efficiency are of the same type, but arc perhaps more studied in their methods of expression. Here, of course, Bennett is the dyed-in-thc-wool journalist— tricky-, verbose, obvious, exaggerated, but withal, sincere, witty, and pleasant reading for the seashore. TO MOUNT BAKER Oh lofty form, so snowy white, Crowned with the morning's purest light; Wilt thou not tell me from thy height What is the secret of thy might? In Winter's mists or Summer's haze My eyes to thee I love to raise And as I fondly gaze and gaze For thee my heart is full of praise. And when the mist they glory hides, And o'er thy form the storm king rides: Yet will I still in thee confide, For thou are firm whate'er betide. Thou art a balm for human woe And on us beings here below Thy kindly smile dost free bestow, As from thy base proud rivers flow. Oh, noble pillar of the skies— God made thee from the earth to rise; Thy being with His wish complies, And in thy robes no evil lies. —E. Kobelt. THE WORLD HATES A HATER E. J. Klemme Drummond says: "Love is the greatest good in the world," then hate, its opposite, is the greatest evil. Love warms, hate freezes. Love attracts, hate repels. Love speaks in the sunshine of life; hate is seen in the dark clouds and furious storms. All the world loves a lover and hates a hater. Love nourishes alike the loved and the lover; hate wastes both the hated and the hater. When hate comes creeping into your life "think straight" and because of the damage it inflicts both to the giver and the receiver, straightway force it out of your thought. Hate hurts the hater more than the hated—the latter often refuses to admit the hate. Procrastination is a virtue when applied to hate. Never hate today if you can put it off until tomorrow. If you have recently sent out little darts of hate, chase them and change them to angels of love or bury them forever. Do this, and you will clearly understand what William Lloyd Garrison meant when he said, "I have always with me two constant companions—a cheerful disposition and a clear conscience." We wonder how many of our readers have ever read the following poem on our school, written by Fred Prouty, a local journalist and poet. The Messenger takes pleasure in giving it space in our literary department.

Sometime they stand in serried rank, Or lone upon some river oank, Or in the ooze of marshland dank, Our friends, the giant trees. To me, their friend, it matters not I count them best of all I've got— Their presence doth me please..

Four are below the eighth grade and one takes high school work. There have been several schools in western Jefferson county, just around her, where there has been but one pupil in the grades. (My sister is teaching such a one now.) The schoolhouse is just about half way between the Olympic mountains and Pacific ocean. It is situated on the south side of Hoh river and on the north side of a ridge of hills, so that for two or three months in winter the sun only comes up to the tree tops. We have had about two clear days since last fall, and a few sunshiny spells during some days so as to get some fine rainbows. The most of the time it has been rain, rain, rain, without any bows. We get twelve or thirteen feet of rain a year. We have had only six or seven floods this winter. Trails and bridges suffered quite a lot. This is a very well settled community, there are two families and six bachelors all within twelve miles!" ESTELLE BURNSIDE WRITES FROM STANWOOD, WASH.

Presently she said, 'I wanted mamma to let me wear my new dress today for I knew you were going to be there to teach us.' I asked her how she knew I would be there, and she calmly replied that it was all over town. I like teaching one grade a great deal better than teaching mixed grades in a rural school. I am teaching all of the subjects except music; one of the other teachers teaches music for me. One of the high school teachers had been teaching the penmanship but I shall have it from now on."

AFTER SUNSET I have an understanding with the hills At evening when the slanted radiance fills Their hollows, and the great winds let them be. And they are quiet and look down on me. Oh, then I see the patience in their eyes, Out of the centuries that made them wise. They lend me hoarded memory, and I learn Their thoughts of granite and their whims of fern, And why a dream of forests must endure Though every tree be slain; and how the pure, Invisible beauty has a word so brief, A flower can say it, or a shaken leaf, But few may ever snare it in a song, Though for the quest a life is not too long. When the blue hills grow tender, when they pull The twilight close with gesture beautiful. And shadows are their garments and the air Deepens, and the wild veery is at prayer. Their arms are strong around me; and I know That somehow I shall follow when you go To the still land beyond the evening star, Where everlasting hills and valleys are, And silence may not hurt us any more. And terror shall be past, and grief and war. —Ex. From your neighbor you need not borrow The lesson he has learned, But rather, study till the morrow, And have your knowledge earned. R. B. O.

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG The position of the flag is aloft, from a pinnacle of a building higher than th lt;- gt;. furniture of a room, and above the one carrying it. Tlie flag must not be raised before sunrise nor remain up after sunset. In raising or lowering the flag, it must never be allowed to touch the ground. When the flag is raised formally, all present should stand at attention with hand raised to forehead ready to salute. When the colors are passing on parade, spectators, if walking, shall halt; if sitting, arise—and stand at attention. The flag hung out of doors should always fly to the breeze, preferably from a pole, and should never be fastened co the side of a building, platform or scaffolding. The flag should never be placed belo^v a person sitting, nor be used as a cover for a table, desk, or box, nor should anything be placed on it except it be a Bible. The flag should never be placed where it will be struck by a gaval. The flag should not be worn as part of the whole of a costume. When worn as a badge it should be small and pinned over the left breast or on the left coat lapel. The flag should never be washed. When worn or torn it should be reverently burned. Ex.

When sheltered by their swaying boughs Then all my noble instincts rouse— I pledge again my highest vows— In friendly shade and deep. But when from their secluded way Mid haunts of men I daily stray, For grace and strength I have to pray My plighted vows to keep. If I could live within some glade Beneath the fir tree's kindly shade, Much easier than it is. Of all the men that I have met Not one could wear a coronet So kingly-wise and have it set As fir tree weareth his. When my last day draws near its close And tired hands shall seek repose, When tear on friendly eyelid shows O lay me 'neath a fir— No monument that man has made Will be as welcome as the shade Within some cool and quiet glade Where boughs awhispering stir. For there within my lowly bed With kindly boughs above me spread, Old dust to dust shall lose its dread In quiet peace and deep; And growing there above my sod Its freindly roots shall pierce the clod And bear it upward toward the God Who doth the spirit keep. And thus in death the gentle tree That during life has sheltered me Will like a Jacob's ladder be, And point the way to Him.

WAR A storm of shell bursts o'er the plain, The shrapnels shriek and yell, A thousand fall in leaden rain, Of orgy like to hell. A thousand mothers' sons have died A monarch's whim to please; A thousand sons, their father's pride, In death have found release. Have found release from home and friends, From all that they held dear— Have gone to meet untimely ends— They fought without fear. They fought for freedom, so they^ thought, And fighting died like men, And yet their fighting gained them nought Unless they live again. Their monarch can't restore a life, Nor heal a gaping wound, He, only, can direct the strife ^ That sends their dust to ground. 'Tis centuries since the Savior came And shed his precious blood; And we who believe upon His name Must tremble at this flood: This flood of rapine, war and lust, That's grinding millions down— We cannot falter in our trust, Nor spare repugnant frown. The gospel semmage, "Peace, good will," To every man was given; Its meaning lingers with us still To point the way to Heaven. Has Christ indeed then died in vain, Has his religion failed? Or is this dreadful curse a stain Like some disease entailed Upon the race of human kind For sins by forebears done? If such the case, then bear in mind, The victory will be Avon, For I have faith that we will yet, Before our race is run, See sin by righteousness upset— A place for goodness in the sun.

The legislature claims that members of the intermediate and il-college judiciary boards were notselected in accordance with the lies outlined in the campus guidebook, Navigator. The bill claimed lat the boards were illegally constituted and called for selection of ew members according to correct procedures. Cooper charged that the legislature had not adequately researched ossible consequences as a result ofthe bill. He said it would probably ike six weeks before new members could be selected and seated onhe boards. "There is concern in many persons' minds that city police may be â€¢sed on campus,"Cooper said. "The legislature's action may trigger a novement in favor of such a proposal since the college would not * ave its own judicial authority to handle student law-breakers." "The legislature has not looked into the problem seriously," he lid. Cooper has asked Dean of Men Ray Romine to explain the duationto the legislature at today's session. Speaker of the legislature Bert Halprin explained the legislature's ' '-asons for unanimously passing the bill: "From the day I found out that they (the judiciaries) had beenâ€¢leered without any input, I wondered how to proceed. "This seemed to be a question which ought to be referred to the ..S judiciary. Action was delayed because it seemed more proper that "le AS judicial,rather than the legislative arm, raise the complaint." "I had, therefore, requested President Cooper tomake his gt;pointments to the board last November. He assured me on at least iree occasions that theJudicial board would be named 'next week.' ot one member has yet been named." Cooper said that thejudicial branch was not the proper place to send their complaint either. "If the legislature understood theprocess of government in this stitution they would have known that their complaint should have me to thestudent conduct committee," he said when he vetoed the ' 11. He said that AS has two representativeson that committee. According to Halprin, however: "Despite a tradition of forgetting about gross errors fora few months, then refusing to correct them, I am happy that the legislature decided to take the initialstep toward righting the situation.

WWSC Bellingham, Washington Tuesday, February 2, 1971 No. 32Speaker Halprin Pushes Student Rights Document By GLEN JONES Front Reporter Bert Halprin,speaker of the AS Legislature, wants to rejuvenate interest in the passage of a nationally-organizedstudent bill of rights on campus. The bill operates within the same spectrum as a bill proposed bySenator Sam Guess to the state legislature. Yet, the bill of rights' provisions are freedom-oriented ratherthan restrictive towards students. Halprin's efforts are centered around the student welfare committee ofthe AS Legislature, whose duties include approval of such measures. He is extremely confident the newchairman of the committee, John McDonnell, will see this bill through successfully, he said. Joint effortsto draft a statement of student rights and freedoms by national educational associations began in the fallof 1966. Representing faculty, administrators and students, endorsements of this bill now include:National Student Association, American Association of College, National Association of StudentPersonnel Administrators, Association of Women's Deans and Counselors, Campus Americans' forDemocratic Action, and American Association of University Professors. The purpose of the bill, as stated in its preamble, is "to enumerate the essential provisions for student freedom to learn." The bulk of thejoint statement is devoted to setting standards in the areas of student affairs and disciplinaryproceedings. Highlights in the area of student affairs include: â€”students should be free to organize andjoin associations to promote their common interests. -affiliation with an extramural organization shouldnot of itself disqualify a student organization from institutional recognition. -students and studentorganizations should be free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, and to expressopinions publicly â€¢ and privately. -students should be allowed to invite and to hear any person of theirown choosing. -student press should be free of censorship and advance approval of copy. -editors andmanagers of student publications should be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because ofdisapproval. In the area of disciplinary procedings, the bill requires that an accused student be informedof the nature of the charges against him, that he be given a fair opportunity to refute them, that theinstitution not be arbitrary in its actions, and that there be provision for appeal of a decision. Some of thedetails of this area are: - e x c e p t under extreme emergency circumstances, premises occupied bystudents and the personal possessions of students should not be searched unless appropriateauthorization has been obtained - n o form of harassment should be used by institutional representatives to coerce admissions of guilt or information about conduct of other suspected persons â€”pendingaction on the charges, the status of a student should not be altered, except for reasons relating to hisphysical or emotionaly safety and well-being, or the safety and well-being of students, faculty, oruniversity property. The bill goes on to explicate these and other areas of student rights and freedomsmore thoroughly. Other provisions deal specifically with access to higher education, classroomprocedure, student records, and freedom of off-campus students. inside: Halprin Interviews JaneMason p.4 ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 2 ---------- Tuesday, February 2, 1971 TODAY: NBC TV, First Tuesday with Correspondent Tom Pettit introducingthe features and stories of the February edition. 9-11 p.m. Gallery show, "Seven from Washington:Print-making Today" It includes the works of s e v e n p r o m i n e nt print-makers.

Also the Federal Service Information program will be on c a m p u s to d i s t r i b u te Tenants iff Union Pete White, chairman of the Tenants' Union (TU), called Governor Dan Evans tenants' rightsproposal "beautiful." White said last week, that Evans' new bill "is exactly what we've been after." The TU originated as a student service organization in 1969 when a shortage of off-campus housing forced about200 students to quit school. Since 1969 the TU has strived to ease the problems between tenant andlandlord. The new bill, if passed, would give TU better ground to work on. The new landlord-tenantproposal would impose responsibilities on both sides for compliance with housing codes. Under the bill, a tenant would have the option of moving out, using rent money for repairs or paying his rent to the countyauditor until a landlord satisfies requests to perform his duties. The bill would also make the landlordsubject, to triple damages if he dispossessed a tenant without a valid court order. The same penaltywould apply if he seized the tenants' property as security for rent without the tenants' prior consent. Non-returned damage deposits have been a major problem for TU. In the past the TU has tried to get tenantand landlord together and to talk the problem out. When the discussions failed, the tenant usually filed aclaim at the small claims court. In the past, the court has generally been in favor of the tenant. In Evans'bill, the landlord would be put more on the defensive. The bill also calls for return of unused deposit fundswith a statement of charges within two weeks after the tenant has moved out. Failure would make thelandlord liable for double amount of deposit. White urges people to support the bill. He said peopleinterested in contacting their congressmen, can get a list of the names in the TU office. " ' White addedthat the bill will be reviewed on Feb. 24. The chairman said anyone interested in lobbying for the bill andneeds transportation to Olympia, can contact the TU. information on several federal agencies.

Adoption of the long-awaited proposal by AS will make the plan a reality and the refundwill go into effect retroactively to Dec. 1, 1970. The five-point proposal outlines specifics for student,faculty and staff participation in t h e co-operative bookstore refund as follows: â€”Patronage refundsshall be paid, when possible, based upon purchases made during the bookstore's fiscal yearâ€”Aug. 1through the following July 31. Sales receipts must be turned in by July 31. â€”Patronage refunds shall be paid by check in the September following the end of the fiscal year. â€”Basis of claim for patronagerefund: The eligible members will submit cash register receipts received during the fiscal year in themanner as shown on the Students' Co-operative Store Patronage Refund Envelopes. â€”Individual refundamounts will be calculated on a proportional basis, that is, if the members sales slips comprise .01 percent of the total value of all sales slips submitted, he would receive .01 per cent of the total refund, if one were paid. (For example: total refund equals $15,000, he would receive .01 per cent or $1.50).

In stating hisreasons for vetoing the bill to this reporter, Cooper "I've heard rumors from people close to the judiciaryboards that if there is interference from any government body on campus, they have considereddisbanding and giving judicial power back to the Deans' offices. "The legislature is negligent in thismatter. I'm sorry the whole thing came up. "The current judiciary is functioning well, he said. "The ASLegislature should not expel its energies on an issue such as this when students at this college aregetting short-changed in education and are forced to accept an imposed., sterile living condition." Indefense of the legislature, Halprin said: "Cathy Dudik's reported statement in the Western Front that 'Itwas up to the legislature to make sure its appointee attended the selection meeting' would be valid except that neither the legislature nor its appointee was ever informed of the time and place of that meeting."DRAMA PLANS SUMMER STOCK A nine-week summer stock theatre is tentatively being planned bythe drama department, according to Dr. William Gregory. Gregory said the first meeting held last weekproved there were enough etudents at Western interested in working on summer stock to put the planinto action. "We were only expecting about a dozen students to show up tor the meeting," Gregory said."But over 60 students showed up and around 40 signed up for the course." Students taking summerstock as a class will receive between 11 to 15 credits. , , . ,n Each student will work six days a weekfrom 10 a.m. to lU.JU p m., according to a proposed course outline put out by the drama department, and each student will have a chance to work in the various parts of play production. The first of the six playsscheduled is "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," although Gregory said it was notdefinite. Gregory said he hoped to move the plays off-campus and make the summer stock a communityeffort. Any students wanting to sign up for summer stock are asked to call Gregory at 3890. issued, anda $2 membership refund fee will be deducted from faculty and staff refunds. â€”Procedure for determining whether a refund can be paid: a. The bookstore board will be responsible for providing a projectedincome statement in September and a quarterly report concerning performance. b. Necessary uses forestimated net profits will be determined. c. The a m o u n t of uncommittee estimated earnings will beused to declare whether a refund appears possible. The audited statement for July 31 will be the basis of actual determination. Final approval of the policy is still subject to one minor technicality before it canbe presented to the AS. The policy was adopted by the board and went into the minutes of the Jan. 20meeting as accepted. The board must now approve the minutes of that meeting at their next meeting, tobe held next week. Meanwhile Board Chairman Dr. Howard Mitchell is looking into including theproposal in the agenda of the next available meeting of the Associated Students. Little or no oppositionis expected from AS, Mitchell said, but he feels that he and the other five members of the board shouldbe fully prepared to answer questions and discuss the issue with the legislators. Approval by the AS willbe the final hurdle in the long journey of the rebate proposal from inception to acceptance. Flora,Trustees Okay Sudden Valley Action BOB BURNETT Front Reporter The Board of Trustees and thecollege administration have, for the first time, taken a . stand on the controversy surrounding airport andmarina development at Sudden Valley. AS President Steve Cooper, in an announcement made Friday,said, "Western Washington State College and the Board of Trustees have jointly asked the state attorney general's office to investigate the situation." The results of this investigation will fugure in the decision tofile a complaint against the Sanwick Corporation, developers of Sudden Valley. Cooper has beenhesitant to talk about action against the developers since the AS Legislature passed a bill supportinglegal action and initiated a defense fund for Western's Lakewood recreational area near the SuddenValley development. Cooper said he had been advised not to release any information. "I'm not trying tohide anything," he said. "I'm just protecting the best interests of the student body until this thing isresolved." Cooper would not say whether or not a decision had been made to sue Sudden Valley or if alawyer had been hired to represent Western. Cooper's announcement marked the first time official actionby the college or the trustees was made public. Student leaders have complained since last summerthat the airport and marina development being done by the Sanwick company are detrimental to the value of property near Sudden Valley. They say the development "probably" violates federal and stateenvironmental laws and that the airport would create a nuisance. The Sudden Valley development onLake Whatcom is located immediately south of Western's Lakewood property. The airstrip runs to within five feet of Western's property. Student environmentalist Ted Boss claims that the dredging and fillingdone by Sudden Valley is gradually filling the lake with silt and decreasing the water depth at Lakewoodboating facilities. "I'm not trying to hide anything," he said. "I'm just protecting the best interests of thestudent body until this thing is resolved."

Solons Use Knife onCooper's Budget Pie REBECCA FIRTH Front Reporter The AS Legislators have approved the 1971budget, but the final version of the measure differs radically from that proposed by AS President SteveCooper. While the budget that finally emerged from the stormy, two and one-half hour session last weekdoes not differ in its total expenditure from that proposed by the president, its internal structure was aproduct of the legislative process and not that of the executive branch. The legislature did not proportionmoney for a non-academic coordinator or for the printing of a new sex-education booklet. They did vote to allot $200 to executive supplies, $820 to the executive contingency fund, and $800 to the politicalinvolvement committee. Cooper said that what the legislature did was completely unbelievable. "They (the legislature) are simply not aware of what we are doing. Although tonight was a major defeat and atremendously gross mistake on the part of the legislature, it does not paralyze the new programs. "Whatit does do is reveal student government legislators as being completely inept and completelyobstructionist in philosophy. They do not understand what we are doing." Bert Halprin, speaker of thelegislature, said that this was the first step towards a cut-back in the budget. "It wasn't an internallyconsistent step. I'm extermely puzzled as to why one position was funded (academic) and anotherwasn't (non-academic)." Cooper's reaction was that "The Legislature's attitude and outlook is completelytraditional. It represents the attitude and outlook that student government has had for the past five years.They (the legislators) are still caught up in confrontation politics, irresponsible and once-a-weeklegislation." W-13 entered the Legislature from the physical management committee with unanimousabstention as a recommendation and several changes already made. Rich Hass, AS business managerand legislator, was satisfied at the over-all outcome of the meeting. He felt that the budget changes were needed. "People that are now working for Steve are good people and deserve money, but we must put a stop to the salaries budgeting. We added more money to the executive contingency fund and if Stevewants to pay salaries from that then he can. It's up to him now. What we have done shouldn't reallychange anything." Legislator Mary Watts asked to be given a leave of absence from the Legislature forthe rest of the quarter. She stated time, money, and grades as her reasons. ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, February 2, 1971 mm mmmmmm Front Editorials.... "To comfort the afflictedand to afflict the comforted" No to USIU Recruiters from the United States International University (USIU) will be holding interviews on campus a week from tomorrow with students interested in USIU's graduateprograms. The college community should boycott their interviews and confront them with questionsconcerning the university's apparent clandestine operations. USIU is not a typical university. TheCalifornia-based private school is controlled by former military officers, high ranking members of the NavyLeague, bankers, industrialists and agribusinessmen who have used their influence to acquire a numberof deactivated military bases for free to build new campusesâ€”the latest at Sundance, Wyoming. Theuniversity has acquired these old military bases under a federal law which says that private educationalinstitutions may receive surplus federal land as a "public benefit allowance." USIU is currently under firein Oregon concerning its acquisition of Adair Air Force Station near Corvallis. The Oregon Council of thePoor is protesting the land transfer on the grounds that poor persons could make better use of theproperty. The Council staged weekly protests at the air station during the fall term. Members of theCouncil contend that housing located at the station would "make fine homes for poor people." They argue that if Adair is transferred to USIU, then it Yes to Rotary The Rotary Club in downtown Bellinghamseems to be making a sincere effort to bridge the so-called "town-gown gap" which exists between theBellingham community and the college. The fact that local Rotarians are recognizing the existence ofthe problem and are expressing a desire to do something about it is indeed encouraging news. Dr.Michael Mischaikow, a Rotarian and professor of business and. economics at Western, told yesterday'snoon luncheon gathering of the local business leaders that the college cannot exist without thecommunity's logistical support and that the would become a campus for the rich where tuition will bemore than $3000 a year. The Adair property transfer has been held up by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.)pending investigation by his office. USIU was to have received some 200-plus acres of Adair propertygratis, while paying market price for an additional 177 acres and the housing units. An angry group ofstudents at the University of Oregon investigated USIU from several angles and discovered that USIU'senrollment figures were very low, its access to old military bases high, and its financial status suspectand largely secret. USIU maintains campuses in Mexico, England, Nigeria, Kenya and several locationsin the continental United States. Both students and faculty must sign a "pledge of allegiance" to USIUand students are ruled under an oppressively puritanical code which conveniently provides for dismissals on almost any ground. USIU recruiters slipped away from a University of Oregon confrontation grouptwo weeks ago when they visited the Eugene campus. Let's not let them get away from Western without a public meeting to set their record straight. It would be nice to know whether USIU is in education orreal estate. â€”John Stolpe community would fare much worse without the presence of the state college campus. The question remains whether or not students and faculty are willing to extend a hand inbridging this gap which certainly runs deeper today than it has during any other period of college history. AS President Steve Cooper's town-gown committee is certainly a step in the right direction. But it is upto each one of us to bring the two communities closer together.

EDITORIAL PHONE: 676-3161ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 An interview with a very impressive womanâ€”newly elected CountyProsecutor Jane Mason Q. Could you explain what the "tolerance policy" was and why you stopped it.A. Well, specifically, the gambling tolerance policy tolerated the violation of state law without any legalaction being taken. That's what a tolerance policy isâ€”tolerating illegal conduct.. I chose to campaign on that issue as a sub-issue of respect for law and the law and order issue. I campaigned on respect for thelaw. Ending the gambling was a very controversial issue, and I feel the stand I took on it was the onlyhonest stand. Because of the tremendous part that gambling and everything connected with it plays inour society, it was a very important issue. It was too big to forget about because it has implication everytime you turn around. There have been two bills introduced to change the laws on gambling. If ever therewas a time for the legislature to act, now is the time. My impression of people and the mores andstandards now leads me to believe the gambling laws are way outdated and the legislature will act inanswer to their constituents. Q. Do you think that students and hippies get a fair shake from the systemof criminal justice in this county? A. Well, I would certainly hope so. If there is the opinion among somethat any law enforcement officers in this county can pick on so called hippie appearing people, if that isthe case or if there is that opinion held by some, then I'm not aware of it. Q. Some people hold theopposite view, that being people as students and live on Western's campus they are allowed to get awaywith all sorts of things like use of drugs and minors using alcohol. There are occasional rumors that somesort of crackdown is planned. Is this true? A. Not to my knowledge. I do not feel that the campus shouldbe treated in general, with regard to law enforcement, any differently than any other portion of the city. It's part of the city, and the county. The law applies to all, not just to some and it applies to the campus too. Q. How do you feel personally about laws which attempt to enforce moralityâ€”like drug laws, and lawsagainst rock festivals? A. Law is a product of civilized society and it is the structure with which wemaintain order in a society. I feel that the law is a product of what people want to be governed by. Now ifthe thinking of a majority of people changes over a given period of time then they should exercise,through the legislative branch, the authority to have the law changed. The problemâ€”the crunchâ€”comes when you've got the lag, which is quite often the case. You've got the time lagâ€”a majority of peoplewant the law changed, but the law doesn't get changed and the crunch is put on law enforcement officials. What do they do in the meantime? This is a constant problem. The only honest answer law enforcement can give is that until the law is changed, they must uphold the law on the books. Q. In your personalopinion, should possession of marijuana for personal use be a criminal offense? ^ A. I don't know as Ishould attempt to comment on that and I'll attempt to explain why. I'm in a law enforcement roleâ€”thechief law enforcement official of this county. It's my job to uphold the laws of this state, this county.Whatever my personal predilections may be, I can't allow them to get in the way of doing my official duty. Q. You are apparently the only female prosecutor ever in the state. Do you feel in agreement with thewoman's liberation movement? A. I don't like to pigeonhole people and I won't pigeonhole myself. I mayappear to be a women's liberation typeâ€”whatever that means. I certainly didn't campaign on that. Icampaigned on issues, not personality or sex, and it didn't seem to affect the votes. But I do feelâ€”well,there's quite a bit of discrimination in life, period. Male, female or otherwise. But I do feel at times there'squite a bit of discrimination based on sex in certain areas. Q. The job of prosecutor, while a professionalone, is also in politics. The campaign you waged showed that you understand this side of it well. Do yousee any future for yourself in politics? A. Well, I'm extremely busy at the moment. This is a verydemanding office. The responsibilities placed on elected officials are multiplying and you simply do thebest you can. I think it's too soon to consider what my future will be. I've never been one to worry aboutthe future, or the past. They take care of themselves. But I certainly intend to remain active to a certainextent in Democratic politics. I am a Democrat. Q. Let me finally ask you. Do you feel there's a"prosecuting" mentality? Do you bring people to court whether they should be convicted or not? A. Well,I certainly don't feel the position has "the villain" painted all over it. There've been good prosecutors andthere've been bad prosecutors just like there have been good and bad in every role. I think the most onecan ask of a prosecutor is that he be fair and represent the state vigorously for violations of the laws. Butbe fair while he goes about it. And we simply have to trust in human nature and the elective process which governs the selection of prosecuting attorneys. Q. I appreciate the time you've given me. Thank you verymuch. A. It was my pleasure. ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, February 2, 1971 Western Front 5 Mitchell on Bookstore Editor's note: Dr. Howard Mitchell ischairman of the Economics Department and also serves as chairman of the college bookstore board. By Dr. HOWARD MITCHELL I have been requested to offer a commentary on the participation refund policycurrently being developed by the bookstore board. First, let me make several comments that are relevant to the refund policy and bookstore operations. The bookstore was established as a means of providingtextbooks and other books, class and other study supplies, general merchandise items needed by thestudent, and any special services for the students at the least cost possible. Policy determination andadministrative review are vested in the bookstore board with actual administration provided by a bookstore manager. Policy is subject to limited review by the AS Legislature. Given the purposes outlined above, it is presumed that any net earnings of the bookstore not needed to accomplish these purposes would beavailable for return to the students, based upon the level of purchases they made during the operatingperiod. The bookstore board currently operates under a mandate that, rather than use unneeded netearnings for a participation refund, they be used to provide a bookstore building. Funds to finance thepresent main building are being provided by a $2 per quarter student fee. A contingency provision requires that if fees are inadequate to meet the contract payment schedule, this deficiency must be made upfrom net income. Until recently, net earnings were barely adequate to finance the rapid expansion ininventory and facilities necessary to serve the growing student body. Included in this is the south campus area annex built last summer. Net income is affected by pricing policies. The bookstore pricing policyutilizes the standard retail markup used generally throughout the country for textbooksâ€”20 per cent ofretail price. On other items, it uses selected retail markups established to facilitate inventory controlaccounting. Nearly all result in a price below suggested retail prices for the items. Other elements affectnet income also. The free check cashing service and the post office sub-station result in a loss, butprovide benefits which more than make up for the loss in terms of convenience to the students who usethese services. You may wonder why a participation refund is being considered now, and was notpreviously. Speaking as a board member, there are several factors that have affected the net earningsand potential unneeded net earnings for the current year: (1) student enrollment will not increase bymuch in 1971-72, so the inventory will not have to be expanded greatly; (b) fewer new programs havebeen developed in the past two years, and thus there has been less pressure for expanded inventory; (c)the bookstore management has been able to meet the increased volume of sales without increasing thefixed costs of building and fixtures or greatly increasing the clerical and administrative staff; and (d) thecosts of building the Annex and putting it into operation were met from available financial resources.Earnings forecasts and anticipated financial accumulation to meet future building needs suggest thatthere will be sufficient unneeded earnings to allow a participation refund. Further, the $2 building fee willbe adequate to retire the remaining portion of obligations outstanding on the main bookstore building.Some have asked if paying the participation refund will result in price increases. I would not approve arefund if this were to be the result, and do not believe the other board members would. Several studentswho attended board meetings last spring and fall have pointed out that at that time I opposed a dividend.Why did I change my position? It is my belief that the board must operate in a conservative manner. Bythis I mean it should carry out its responsibilities in such a manner as to conserve the investment thestudents have built up in the bookstore and thus allow it to continue to meet the purposes for which itwas established. Not until the audited financial report for 1969-70 was completed, the annex finished, the projected income statement developed, was there sufficient information available to anticipate that arefund could be paid. I did not wish to propose a policy under conditions which would not allow one to bepaid. It is interesting that at this time many college bookstores are reporting that they are discontinuingdividends, some are suffering operating losses. The bookstore board will take its proposals for theparticipation refund to the AS Legislature as soon as we are sure we have all the information prepared tosupport this proposal. Evaluation Forms Accepted Appointments for evaluation and applications are now being accepted in 109 Old Main for June and August candidates for BA degree and provisionalcertificate candidates. Approval forms for majors and minors, included in each student's blue book,pages 9 and 10, must be signed by the a u t h o r i z e d department's representative prior to filing the de g r e e a n d / o r teaching certificate application in the registrar's office. June graduates are urged torequest evaluation and file their application prior to spring quarter advance registration. Educationcandidates for August who plan to student teach spring quarter are advised to make their request by theend of this quarter. housing notes Many tenants wonder what their rights are regarding the landlord'sprivilege to enter the unit they are renting. Basically, the landlord has very little right to enter your rental,unless you give him permission or have signed this right away in some type of agreement. Tenantsshould keep in mind that they are paying for a homeâ€”a place that belongs to them as long as theymake their rent payments. In many cases a landlord, or anyone else who enters without p e r m i s s i on , is guilty of trespassing. Contact: Gary West A.S.

"There were somany changes in registration this quarter that we want to make sure the records are correct." The print-outs will be mailed in three separate batches with the first third going out tomorrow, he said. The othersheets will be mailed Friday and Monday.

"We will send the print-out a n d p r e - r e g i s t r a t i o n appointments to the address we haveon file," he said. If a student has changed addresses since the beginning of the quarter, he should report his new address to the registrar's office.

Studentanswers Charges Editor: As a student in the "highly immoral" program at Whatcom, I read CathyPark's letter with interest, then I got mad. But instead of writing from my point of view I thought I'd askmy class what they thought. So I read the letter to them and suggested they, too, write a letter to theeditor on what they thought of her letter and the , program. I tried to not influence them with my point ofview. I enclosed some of the letters as I feel they answer her better than I could. The students are in asixth grade class. They earn money for good behavior and work. They are not rewarded for every goodbehavior or correct problem. They can save their money to buy certain things, for instance eating candyor sharpening their pencil whenever they want to. They can also save for trips such as a skating party.The rewards are chosen by the students not by the teachers. There is no pressure put on them to saveor spend their money. I'm for the token system as another method of motivating children, not as the one answer. Marcia Harper Junior Whatcom Middle School Editor's note: Five letters from WhatcomMiddle School were submitted with Miss Harper's letter. We chose the following two to present the other side of the story: Of her side of story Editor: I think the girl that wrote the letter about the token money' system does not know the other side of the story. When kids work hard they should get something out of it.' When we are good we all pay the same amount of money to go on a field trip. Some kids havebeen trying harder ever since the money system has come out. The girl who wrote to you did not writeanything good, she just wrote bad things. Whatcom Middle School Student Editor: I'm replying to theletter that was sent out about the student teachers using play money, or the token system at Whatcom Middle School. I am a student included in this program and I am answering the letter that said that thissystem was not right because it causes greed. This I don't believe is true. Everyone needs to berewarded for something. We get money very few times for work, and mostly we get it for how we act. Ifwe are very bad we don't get anything, but if we are very good we get rewarded. This helps in teachingand in our behavior. In my opinion is hasn't made us greedy, it's made us happy. Kristen MyhreWhatcom Middle School P.S. It may not be good all the time, but on the average I think it helps us. 24Hour Visiting : Privacy Invasion? Editor: Twenty-four hour visitation will "be voted on by dorm residentssoon. And, of course, a word to the wise: think about both sides of the issue before committing yourvote. I am speaking for what may turn out to be a minority who oppose 24-hour visitation. Why opposesuch a policy? Because it threatens the right of privacy of every person who lives in a dorm on thiscampus. The right of privacy is a sacred right common to every citizen and must be protected. Oursociety has laws which protect that right. For example, " p e e p i n g tommery" is a misdemeanor."SPRING-BREAK IN HAWAII".- March 21-28 $279. per person Round Trip Pan Am Jet Clipper LeiGreeting on Arrival 7 Nights Hotel Accomodations at Waikiki TIME FOR SUN SURF Call Anne: 733-5910 SKI-ING VACATION IN SWITZERLAND-EASTER.

ANGLO-AMERICA ASSOCIATION 60A, Pyle St., Newport,I.W., Hampshire, England. Also on the books are laws governing the taking of pictures of people in their private dwellings without permission. Secondly, a blanket policy as t h i s does not take intoconsideration differing types of a r c h i t e c t u r e in dorm construction. The point is that most dormson campus are not self-contained apartment units. In the case of Mathes, Nash, Edens, lower Highland,and most of the Ridgeway complex, every room on any floor shares one bathroom. This makes itespecially awkward in the early morning or late evening hours when people are getting up or preparing for bed. Thus the policy introduces two peculiar problems not found in most normal living situations:Inadequate privacy for the o c c u p a n t s , and added inconvenience for guests of the opposite sex, allof whom must use one bathroom, usually located on the main floor. Thirdly, of course, is the p r o b l em of i n d i v i d u al responsibility. The policy states that "students must be held responsible for theiractions, for they are expected to act as a d u l t s , " and stresses this commendably. But these are but words with little muscle behind them. Most dorm policies governing visitation, pets, drugs, and liquorare either loosely enforced or not enforced at all, and violations are thus frequent. Some resident aidesturn t h e i r backs on their responsibilities. For example, in Higginson Hall, the staff has m a i n t a i n e d , by its own admission, a hands-off policy on dorm conduct. Even the willful vandalism of vendingmachines in the hall within the past two or three months has not changed this. In too many cases, many students are too busy rebelling against any type of rule, whether beneficial to their interests or not, tobother with "individual responsibility." If our goal is to create a more "realistic" living environment withinthe dorm structure, 24-hour visitation defeats that purpose by threatening a basic individual liberty ofprivacy, and c r e a t i n g a d d i t i o n al i n c o n v e n i e n c e for dorm residents and guests. Inaddition, it is absurd to grant additional liberties when responsibility and adequate e n f o r c e m e n tare not forthcoming. Cast your vote, but only after weighing both sides of the issues. What you decidewill affect the lives of every dorm student on this campus for better or worse. Jim Bromley SpeechSenior r k. ^ On a Saturday afternoon in 1958 tour hungry University of Washington students werebemoaning the fact that it was impossible to get a good pizza in the 'district' One of the four (thehungriest one) concluded, "The only way we're going to get a good pizza is to make it ourselves." It wasalso concluded that they had no money, they knew nothing about restaurant business, and that theymust be out of their minds. Three months later Pizza Haven opened. In the meantime they begged andborrowed about $3,000, read all they could about restaurant management, made and ate approximately173 pizzas until they came up with a combination they would be proud to sell to their classmates. Soonpromising careers in psych, history, math and pre-law were interrupted by the less intellectual pursuits oftable waiting, dough-cutting and sausage slicing. Somehow they survived that first year and havemanaged to do enough things right that they have grown from the U. District to the campuses of 15 othercolleges and Universities in Washington. No longer can you sit on the hard, wooden picnic benches orfeel the oven blast in the small store on the 'Ave,' but you still can get the best pizza at the best priceclose to campus. In recognition of the fact that Pizza Haven was started by college students for collegestudents and has based its success on this formula, Pizza Haven wishes to thank their old and newfriends on campus by having a 1958 Menu special on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 4,5,6...

Planned A new AS constitution, originally to be written by the r e s p o n si b l e l e a d e r s h ip committee, has been passed onto a newly formed subcommittee. AS legislatorAnn De Leon said, "it was time for a total r e s t r u c t u r i n g " of the old constitution, which"contained too many loopholes and was incomplete and vague in many places." Miss De Leon said thenew constitution would specifically call for better representation in s t u d e n t g o v e r n m e n t. R e pr e s e n t a t i v e s from publications, program committee and interhall committee will serve. The newconstitution stems from a campaign promise made by AS President Steve Cooper last fall quarter.Cooper said he would have the AS legislative and executive branch work together to write a newconstitution. The new constitution will eliminate problems like last quarter's invalid elections, Miss DeLeon said. The AS is planning to hire an expert in constitutional law to serve as an advisor and help with the actual rewriting. Anyone who is interested in helping with the rewriting is welcomed.

Playing their finest all-around game of the year, Western threw theEvco race wide open with the victory. Eastern still leads with a 6-1 record. Western and Whitworth aretied for second at 5-2, while Central, who lost to the Savages 61-59 last Friday, is fourth with a 4-2league ledger. It was a free throw by guard Mike Preston with 16 seconds left that provided the victorymargin. The charity shot gave Western a 76-73 lead and a field goal by Dave Hayden with three seconds remaining brought the final score to 76-75. Western never trailed in the first half, though tied at theintermission. The Vikings continued to ,h;old a slim lead throughout the second half until two field goalsby Hayden and one by forward Randy Buss gave Eastern a 65-64 lead with three minutes to go. Savageguard Darryl Harris netted two free throws moments later to stretch the margin to 67-64, the largest heldby the Savages. Then Viking center Rudy Thomas, who played brilliantly throughout the game and was outstanding in the final minutes, scored two baskets, the second a crucial tip-in that put Western infront 68-67 at the 2:37 mark. Again Harris, with a jump shot from the top of the key, got the lead back for the Savages 69-68, but Thomas,unstoppable, converted a three-point play to put Western on top 71-69. Forward Steve Barnett tied it 71-71. A jump shot by Viking captain Neal Larson made it 73-71 with 1:38remaining. Buss, on a twisting layup, knotted it again 73-73, but Western, not to be denied, took thelead for good on another pressure-packed jump shot by Larson with 51 seconds left. * Eastern failed toscore the next time down the court, though getting numerous shots in a near free-for-all that put thecapacity crowd in roaring hysteria. The Vikings finally got control on a rebound by Thomas and wentinto a stall. Preston was intentionally fouled by Buss. Though he missed the first shot, he converted thesecond to assure the victory. It was this same stalling tactic that proved disastrous to the Big Blue inthe first half. The Vikings saw their largest lead of western front SPORTS Grapplers Struggle to 7th InSan Francisco Tourney Western's wrestling squad pulled a seventh place finish out of the sixth annualSan F r a n c i s c o I n v i t a t i o n al Tournament Saturday. C a l i f o r n i a Polytechnic Institute ofSan Luis Obispo edged Seattle Pacific College 72-70 to win the 20-team single Elimination tournament. Three Western wrestlers placed fourth in their weight division; Admiral Flunder in the 1 1 8 pound level,Terry Beckstead at 134 and Lee Anderson at 157. Western led the tournament for a short while as allthe Vik wrestlers but one picked up first match victories. Four were pins. "I really think they did atremendous job," Coach Lanny Bryant said, and "they worked to their maximum." "We lost some realclose ones," he added. The team flew to San Francisco Friday, wrestled Ruggers Crush U of Oregon 9-0 Smiling Willy McCann may be walking around campus with a limp this week but he deserves therespect an injured athlete usually gets. McCann scored two great t r i ' s worth six points as Western'sRugby Club tromped the ruggers from the University of Oregon 9-0 here at Western last Thursday. In his first big score of the game, McCann simply out-ran everyone on the field as he scrambled 50 yards forthree points. His second score, though not as long, was more exciting as he mowed over two ruggerswho thought they could stop Smiling Willy's 35-yard journey to the goal line. A penalty kick byWestern's infamous Harry Dumptruck brought the score to a final 9-0. Western's second team beatOregon's second team 3-0. Ray Latta scored the only tri of that game on a twenty-five yard jauntcarrying two opposing ruggers across the goal line as he scored. Western's Rugby Club didn't fair aswell last Saturday as the first team lost 18-3 to the University of Washington. The seconds also lost asthe Huskie seconds won 6-0. Both games were played in Seattle. The Rugby Club's next game isSaturday at home against the University of British Columbia. That game will start at 1:30 p.m. behindCarver Gymnasium.

Costly turnovers allowed the Savages to come back and tie the score at the half on abasket by Buss. Western was near perfect at the free throw line, hitting 20 of 23 charity tosses, an 87per cent accuracy. In fact the Vikings hit their first 12 free throws before Lee Roy Shults missed thesecond shot of a one-and-one situation with 8:56 left in the game. A big factor in the win was the 39-26rebounding advantage held by Western. Thomas led with 15 and Shults had 11. Balanced scoring wasanother contributing factor as Thomas bucketed 20 points, Larson and Gary White each had 15 andShults 14. Larson hit 6 of 7 field goals and Thomas 9 of 16 as the Vikings hit 53 per cent from the fieldto Eastern's 49 per cent. White made nine straight foul shots to extend his string to 18 before missinghis final attempt of the game. The 6-5 junior, making the tough adjustment from forward to guard, turnedin a fine performance in his first game at that position. With White at guard coach Chuck Randall wasable to start forward John Reed. Thus the Vikings had a combined starting five weight of 1,055 pounds to effectively offset Eastern's 1,017 net weight. The 6-7 Hayden led all scorers with 26 points, but washeld to only 6 rebounds. Buss had 14 points, while Harris and guard George Gamble each had 12. TheEastern press, employed throughout the second half, made for 21 turnovers by the Vikings, compared to 17 for the Savages. Neal Larson fires away from the outside in early season action.

Carroll said the victim "put up a hell of a good fight and struggled at length with the man. My opinion is that even though he was structurally stronger, her struggle with him kept the matter fromgetting worse. In this case, it turned out for the best for her. She wasn't raped." Carroll explained thatsometimes in an assault situation, the harder a victim puts up a fight, the angrier the attacker becomes,and the assault becomes more violent. In this case, Carroll said, the man eventually gaveup andleftthe victim's home, taking her wallet After he left, the victim yelled for help and then called 911. Her neighbor came to help and remembered seeing the man approaching the victim's door, but she did not see him enter the doorway. She later recalled seeing the man running from the victim's house. During thestruggle, the man's watch band broke and fell off his wrist. The watch and a detailed description of theassailant by the victim and her neighbor enabled police to start an investigation, Carroll said. The affidavit reported that the victim's missing wallet was recovered by a postal worker at Ennen's Market the dayafter the assault Fingerprints on the wallet and a credit card were traced to the victim and also to Lee.Police also discovered that Lee had outstanding warrants from California for forgery, possession ofstolen property and a parole violation involving robbery. Reports also showed that Lee had priorconvictions for rape and indecent liberties. On Oct. 26, police staked out Lee's residence in the earlyevening. Officers spotted a man in the upper floor resembling the police composite drawing and theidentification photographs of Lee. The officers approached Lee and told him about the warrants fromCalifornia. When the police questioned Lee about the assault, he said he had been working all day andtherefore did not commit the crime, according to the affidavit As he was being questioned, he movedtoward the doorway, pulling a chair between officers and himself and ran for the door. Along the way,he knocked a shelf off the wall, causing items to fall in the path of the police pursuing him. Policetackled Lee as he made his way down the staircase to the ground floor. He was then transported to jail. Lee, a chimney sweep, had been living at the Grant Street address for about a month-and-a-half,according to reports from neighbors. Bail is currently set at $15,000 based on the fugitive warrant fromCalifornia. Police are still trying to locate the young woman who was seen walking north on HumboldtStreet and heading west on Carolina Street either with the man or in front of him. The woman isdescribed as white, about 18 to 22-years-old, fair skinned and very attractive, with long blond hair to themiddle of her back. She was wearing powder blue shorts and a white top with a light colored V-necksweater. Police are requesting that anyone with information about this woman to call Detective McNeil at 676-6923 or 9-1-1. Solar Continued from pg. 1 hi July, the Viking XX placed second in the 1,625 mileSunrayce USA, which ran from Florida to Michigan. High winds buffeted the large profile of the solarcollector, making steering, at times, virtually impossible. Modifications were made after the SunrayceUSA to correct the problemâ€”. Seal said, "By yawing, the earâ€”adjusting the wheel alignment â€” wecan use the wind to our advantage." The team is going into the race on the heels of three setbacks. Inearly October principal sponsor J. Ward Phillips andstudentteam-captain . Bill Lingenfelter pulled out.Then, on Oct 11, the car's primary motor had to be replaced. Phillips andLingenfelterleftthe team after adispute involving Seal's introduction of a written contract of rules, which gave Seal final say in alldecisions. The contract included three major rules â€” no drinking of alcoholic beverages during therace, wearing the proper team uniform at all times and allowing Seal the final "The last word I heard fromAustralia was if it doesn't blow too hard, we're the favorite." â€” Michael Seal, director of Western'sVehicle Research Institute authority over all race decisions. . The last of these rules seemed the majorsticking point for Phillips, who had invested more than $150,000 in the project, and Lingenfelter, who, asteam-captain, was one of the originators of the solar car idea. Lingenfelterwill be accompanying the team to Australia but will not participate as a team member. At the time of the shake-up, Eileen Seal, Seal'swife and administrative supporter for the team, said her husband implemented the rules because h e felt it was important'to haVe-achaiii' of cofflmahd'iri a race Where the team was: competing against suchinternational industrial giants as Honda Research and Development Co. Inc. She said he also felt heneeded the authority because he was the single person accountable to the university if any problemsarose. Theburnt-outmotor, a20-horsepower,rare-earth, permanent-magnet meant the car's number onemotor had to be shipped back to the factory for repairs. The Viking XX was snippet to Australia with itsback-up motor. Michael Seal said the replacement motor was actually better and would probably be theone used. The crew is now undergoing a week of testing and fine-tuning at Darwin before making anyfinal decisions. Each solar car in the Australian race will be accompanied by a lead, chase and supportvehicle.

Students participating in the program are enrolled in classes of conversational English, U.S. history,literature and human environment. Accreditation is only received from Asia University. Most Japanesestudents receive six years of English language instruction before graduating high school. Students atAsia University take one year of conversational English before coming to Western. About 40 American conversational language instructors work at Asia University. "It's not easy for them," Wright said. "Theyhave to study hard."

When asked about their impressions of America, many respondedpolitely and positively. However, a certain cultural alienation seemed to prevail. Some said it was tooeasy to revert back to Japanese when around their roommates. One student, with a puzzled look, said,"Americans think as they act."

Western works for you By Mike Clynch staff reporter Student EmploymentServices, in Old Main 260, has just worked its way through their busiest time of year â€” trying to findemployment and work experience for many Western students. Last year, Western provided 4,800 joblistings for students. Approximately half were on-campus and the others were in the community. Ofthese, nearly 900 were work-study. Fred Ondeck, coordinator of Job Location and Employment, said hisoffice "attempts to be a centralized source for students who need part-time, temporary or seasonalemployment, or are interested in volunteer or community experience." The office provides reader-boards for volunteer jobs and general employment. "Because werun an open job board, we don't alwayshave a way of actually tracking (results). It's difficult to know if it was a Western student (who was hiredfor the position)," Ondeck said. Also, employers don't always call back the office once they hire astudent He estimated Western students fill 70 to 80 percent of the listings. After the initial rush of theyear, it is easier to remain updated. General employment is varied. Program Assistant Mary Murray,who has been working in the employment office for eight years said, "(Job opportunities) run the gamut from yard-work to an assistant for an attorney ."Thereader bo ardmaintains a section for new listings that arrive daily. The average on-campus wage is $5. Off-campus is $5.80. Murray said some unusual jobshave crossed the reader boards. A Japanese film crew hired students for summer work in Japan. Another company hired student photographers to picture wildlife in Africa. Volunteer jobs range from crisisintervention to conservation. "People take these/'Murray said, because "they want to become a part oftheir community or just give something back." She added, "It's good work experience, and they can seeif they like working in that sort of setting." While the Student Employment Services is set-up to be self-service, Ondeck said, "the staff are more than happy to talk to students. We try to be user-friendly."Our job is jobs,"Murray added. ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 7 ---------- November 6,1990 Old growth protest in Blaine features The Western Front 7 See Inside: The protestand'Mind Flings' ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front November 6,1990 HlifSis j||^p|im|i|||^|i Eve/preen State College sUJdent, LaraMurray, passed out leaflets during Sunday's protest at the border. li^Witt^BIBlHllBBlBllilHiiwiIHSiilBiiHiliiiHlplfiiilW ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ people and government ofBritish ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Ililrti^i^MiSiiftiiiiiiiwI IISiiBBBISBiSiBiilBi cuttinginwhalis consideredthelargest Bi^lS^BiiiliiR^WiilSiBl BSilili(BHI^BiBi|^^Bj "We need some direct action.

By Hamld Nazemi Special to the Front In myearlier article, in the Oct. 30 issue of the Front, I mentioned that many foreigners have an "approach-avoidance" relationship with the United States, especially as it relates to U.S. Foreign policy. In addition, I tried to point out that, although, there were cultural differences between Westerners and MiddleEasterners, they do not fully explain the present crisis in the Persian Gulf. So what is it that impels somany foreigners abroad and within the United States to adopt such an anti- American posture? Forexample, it is interesting to note that anti-American sentiment is on the rise across various countriesand continents, all having a unique cultural orientation. Itis present from Far East Asian countries tothose in South America. Can it be claimed that in all of these cases a "cultural gap" exists, and thatthis is the source of those peoples' dissatisfactions with U.S. foreignpolicy ? I think not! Obviously, there are cultural differences, but these arevariablesof secondary importance. For example, the "Cold War"didn't come about because of cultural differences between the East and West, but came aboutbecause of varying political objectives and orientations. Both sides displayed great intransigence andlacked the "political well" to overcome differences. Once Gorbachev came to power, various factors(none of which were cultural) forced him to make conciliatory gestures toward the West At this point,he showed that he did have the "political well" to move ahead, despite of existing cultural differences. In light of this, it can't be claimed that the current crisis in the Gulf is in any way a result of culturaldifferences. David Ziegler, a political science professor at Western, is correct in asserting thatfriendliness and hospitality are central to the Arab mind-set. He is also correct in saying that hostage-taking contradicts Arab values and morals. However, ruthless killing of Palestinians by the Israeligovernment is viewed with even greater enmity and frustration in Arab history and should have beenmentioned in the article. Why is it that the United S tates deploy s hundreds of thousands of its troops to defend against Iraqi aggression, but looks the other way when it comes to the basic human rights of the Palestinians? The fact of the matter is, lasting peace in the Middle East will remain elusive, unlessfundamental changes occur in the status quo. It is imperative that Israel recognize and deal with theplight of the Palestinians. This will happen only when the United States exerts pressure on Israel andmakes a clear demand that things change. The United States, unlike other nations, is in the uniqueposition of taking an active role in promoting human rights and a sense of fair play abroad. Unfortunately, the history of the United States has been marred by direct or indirect interference in the internal affairsof other nations. At times, this has led to the violent overthrow of numerous legitimate but independent-minded governments. For example, in 1953, the CIA was instrumental in the overthrow of Dr. Mossadeqâ€” the prime minister of Iran at the time. Dr. Mossadeq worked to free Iran of foreign domination and tobring about an Iran based on anti-militarism and constitutionalism. His overthrow was coordinated by Mr. Roosevelt (nephew to FDR) and through the U.S. embassy compound in Tehran. The forced andillegitimate return of the Shah meant that some 26 years later, Iran' s revolution would be a purelyIslamic Revolution with an acutely "anti-American flavor! Having in mind that the overthrow of Dr. ,7WANTED: A BIG BROTHER Seventy 'Utiles'in Whatcom County need some 'Big'help Many men enjoybeing a Big Brother â€” not only because it's fun â€” but also because it's an opportunity to snare skillsand experiences with a boy.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Whatcom County 671-3793 or 384-1883 Mossadeq had been orchestrated through the U.S. embassycompound , revolutionaries stormed mat embassy in 1979 to prevent a repetition of history. This is not to defend hostage takingâ€”it is merely to point out that were it not for the U.S. government's own doingsome 26 years earlier, this unfortunate incident wouldneverhave occurred. As another example, whenIran was defending itself against Iraqi aggression in the Iran-Iraq war, the United States gave fairlyextensive support to the government of Saddam Hussein. This was done by providing him withintelligence information about Iranian troop movements, by ignoring the use of chemical weapons against Iranian and Kurdish civilians and by ensuring Iraq's economic survival as exemplified in the re-flagging ofKuwaiti tankers. Saddam Hussein was never declared a Hitler and it was only his move on Kuwait thatprompted PresidentBush to draw comparison between the two despots. In response to Iraqi air attackson internationally owned and registered oil tankers destined for Iranian oil terminals, Iran proclaimed thateither the Persian Gulf would have to be "safe for all or safe for none" â€” it started mining internationalwaters in the Persian Gulf. Many congressmen and senators at the time, warned Iran that "people inglass houses shouldn't be throwing stones." It seems to me, they should have been asking themselves,"Why is it that people living in glass houses are throwing stones?" After all, if others are given a freehand at stoning you, it makes sense to throw a few stones of your own. Finally, it was especially ironicfor the U .S. government to have taken such amoral stance on the issue. After all, wasn'ttheU.S.government, itself, involved in the mining of Nicaraguan waters before the weakening of theSandanistas? In discussing recent developments, I am many times met with the remark, "YouMiddleEasterners don't value human life, you're constantly fighting and killing one another!" These people needto be reminded that Middle Easterners were not responsible for the systematic massacre of the Native Americans, WWI and WWII, for Korea, Vietnam, and more recently the invasion of Panama!

As wellas winning the district championship, the Vikings also received top individual awards at the tournament. Coach Chris Hartman was selected Coach of the Year, Lorrie Post was awarded Most Valuable Playerand she and Kim Kolody were selected for the all-tournament team. It took Western only 40 minutes inthe final match to crush the Central Wildcats in two straight games, 15-9,15- 4. In game one. Westernquickly jumped on top with a 4-0 lead before Central had a chance to get a point on the board. Withcomplete control of the game, Western then leaped ahead 8-1 with all-around excellent playing by AprilLindsey. However, Central rallied back to pull within one point, 10-9. Key blocks by Denise Dodgeandeffectivepassing by setter Kim Kolody kept the Wildcats' scoreless as the Vikings pulled ahead, 14-9. Central assistant coach Drew Terry protested a call and was given a red and a yellow cardsimultaneously, Hartman said. This call awarded the Vikings one point and gave them the win in gameone. "They (the Vikings) wanted it and knew what it takes to get it," Hartman said. "We came into thisgame a lot more relaxed and got the ball to Kim (Kolody), who effectively varied our offense." Thingsbegan heating up in game two as intense playing was shown from both sides of the net Westerndisplayed all-around superb playing as it asserted its dominance, jumping out to a 10-3 lead. Post scored four straight points and JoAnn Luchina served an ace for the final point which gave the Vikings theDistrict Crown. "It was a team effort," Lindsey said. "All 12 players contributed. We couldn'thave done itwithout eachplayer." "The momentum was with us the whole time," Hartman said. "Our passing wasphenomenal, almost errorless, and Lorrie was unstoppable." "If we play like we did tonight, nobody isgonna beat us," Post said. The Vikings advanced to the final match by defeating Seattle Pacific Fridaynight in three tense games, 15-8,8- 15,15-13. "JoAnn (Luchino) gets credit for winning game one forus,"Hartman said. "She took their momentum away with some great digs." Despite powerful kills by Post and Lindsey, the Vikings fell to the Falcons pressure in game two. The Falcons continued to press hardon the Vikings, jumping out to a 8-1 lead in game three. The Vikings pulled together and rallied back from the seven-point deficit as the momentum switched to the Western side. The Vikings cut the deficit to 13-10 before scoring the five final points. "We never quit," Hartman said. "We just slowly dug ourselves outof the trenches to come ahead and win." The win over the Falcons advanced Western into the secondround of play in the winners bracket, where they defeated Central. Despite losing game one and starterKim Wells, who partially tore ligaments in her ankle, the Vikings brought it together in game two. Strong,well-placed kills by Post and excellent blocks by Tamara Locke helped Western maintain its lead ingame two. "After losing Kim (Wells), the rest of the team pulled their socks up and were ready to play,"Hartman said. Li the final game of the match, the Vikings* defense continually squashed Central'scomeback attempts. The Vikings defeated Central 15-9.

WestemwillfaceWamerPacific College, in a game that will be played atViking Field Nov. 10. Warner Pacific beat George Fox College 4-0 to win the District 2 title and theopportunity to play Western for a chance to advance to the national tournament in Boca Raton, Fla. TheVikings repeated as District 1 champions with a record of 14-5-0. Prior to Western's title last season, the Clansmen had taken the district title 14 consecutive years, including three national championships.Senior forward Peter LaBarge said, "Last year everyone thought it was a fluke. We beat them up there on a last minute goal to advance to the playoffs. Even at nationals, people were saying, 'Where'sSimonFraser?' This year we've beaten them three times, I think we deserve it." * Saturday's game wasplayed in a mudhole, which made for poor footing and some sloppy play. Western kept play in SFU'send of the field for most of the first half, capitalizing for the first goal in the last minute of play. ForwardJim Bialek was taken down in the box by Jeff Leitch which resulted in apenalty kick. Simon Frasergoalie Gerry Wheaton argued the call and was given a yellow card. The . referee finally cut Wheaton offand stopped the clock with seven seconds left in the half. In the semifinal game against PacificLutheran University on Oct. . 31, this same ref allowed regulation time to run out without letting West-em take an indirect free kick. District 1 Player of the Year, Peter LaBarge nailed the ball with authority forthe only tally of the first half. Wheaton continued his verbal onslaught and said the magic word whichresulted in a red card. The Clansmen had to play one man down and bring in reserve keeper, GarySkelton, for the second half. Western nearly capitalized on the one-man advantage when Cliff Potterstole a ball meant for Skelton, but he couldn't get a shot off because he was forced to go wide of the netSimon Fraser had their chances to tie the game. Geoff D'Auria had an open shot after a short comerkick, but he decided to pass instead and the Clansmen came away empty. Western finally put the game away at the 6:05 mark when Peter LaBarge took a pass from Jason Woodward and dribbled in to beatthe goalie to the near post "I knew one goal wouldn't hold up. The defense really came through, it'sscary with only goal," LaBarge said. "I knew one more would put confidence in us." Western will nowhost Warner Pacific, who beat the Vikings 1-0 in the last game of the regular season. In that game,Western was not told of a field change and didn' t show up to the new site until 20 minutes after thegame was to have started. Head coach Kevin Quinn said the new field had a baseball diamond on itthegoals were too small and it was notup to collegiate standards. He also said the team wasn't up for thatgame. Saturday's game should be different Quinn said, "I think we're a better team than they are.They're good enough to be reckoned with, but we can field a better team." In addition to LaBarge winning the Player of the Year award, four other Vikings were named to the all-district team. Forwards DennisLapchis and Cliff Potter made the second team, as did midfielder Tom Venable and defender SteveStarcevich.. Vikings lose to Loggers By Matthew W. Campbell staff reporter For the first time thisseason, the Western football team broke out of a streak that has been bothering them all year long. The streak characterized by the Vikings involves losing one game, then winning one. Until lastSaturday'sgame, more than one win or one loss in a row hadn't occurred. Unfortunately for Western, the streak isover as a second loss in a row was given to them at the hands of the University of Puget Sound Loggersby the score of 22-13. Saturday's loss to UPS drops the Viking's overall record to 3-5 and its leaguerecord to 1-4. Turnovers and a sputtering offense by the Vikings allowed PLU to raise its league record to three wins and two losses. The Vikings led 7-3 late in the third quarter, but the Loggers went on toscore 19 straightpoints. The Viking, defense kept the game close until late in the contest Twice theVikings had the ball deep in Logger territory, but came away empty handed both times.

Unfortunately, the two-time defending NAIA national champions,the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes, were playing just a little bit better. The Lutes managed to score five second-half goals, clinching the district semi-final match by the score of 6-0. The Lutes, with a 15-2-1 overall record, dominated much of the game, forcing the ball to the Viking half of the field and outshooting Western 19- 6.

First of all, we want you to know the mystery is solved. When the world ends, it won't be because of nuclear holocaust, or germ warfare or even thedecline of personal morals. Noway. When the ceiling falls in, it'll be because of farts. That's right â€”farts. The Foundation on Economic Trends thinks that flatulent sheep, cattle and buffalo are contributingto global warming. They say livestock may be producing up to 15 percent of atmospheric methane bybreaking wind. Don't mink they're not serious. They've filed a lawsuit against the Federal Agriculture,Interior and Energy departments for failing to measure how many bestial air biscuits are being pumpedinto the ozone. What we want to know is how you'd measure something like that And more importantly,what exactly does the Foundation propose they do if indeed there is a serious gas leak? Some thingsjust can't be stopped. We're dealing with a force greater than ourselves. One woul^y^nk that withthe.current''battle for oil in the Middle past, people rfiight attempt"to bottle their energies and figure outsome productive use for this farm-like flatulation. C'moh... what good are lawsuits going to do? What thereal ques- â€¢ tion here is, can we run our automobiles off this gas? How about the prospect of bringingoF Bessie in to furnish the energy needed to heat your home? Maybe the Foundation's got a point. At the very least, cattle should learn manners. They really don't care. They just let it fly. It doesn't matter who's around to hear... or smell. Nobody needs that kind of olfactory overload.

Referendum sets dangerous precedent I By Mike Clynch staffreporter n a 4-3 vote, last year's AS Board of Directors decided to remove Penthouse, Playgirl, andPlayboy magazines from the AS bookstore. It is one of the most idiotic, railroaded pieces of Westernlegislation to date. It stands as a monument to small minds, a questionable political process, and serves to limit the free exchange of ideas, information and opinion. A referendum has been scheduled for this quarter to find out what preferences Western students may have concerning this action. There are twomain issues here. First, what is the definition of obscenity, and do these banned magazines fall into thiscategory? Second, what are the limits of the authority of student government to dictate their moralpreferences over the rest of the student body? The U.S. Supreme court declared in 1957 that obscenity is not protected under the First Amendment. That was the easy part Since then, there's been a lot ofdebate over the definition of obscenity. The courts now use a three-fold litmus test for determination. It is: 1. Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards would find that thematerial, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interests. 2. Whether the works depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by state laws. 3. Whether the work, takenas whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific work. Playboy, Playgirl, and Penthousehave not been declared to be obscene and are protected by the First Amendment The AS Board didnot make a decision to ban an obscene publication, they made a moral decision to ban a magazine thatthe majority of the board did not like. The obvious point created by the precedent is what else might afuture board not like. A scan of the bookstore shelves show a display of Mad, Cracked, NationalLampoon, and the Bikini Girls Calender. Do these face campus banishment too? I don't doubt thatsome people will find any magazine offensive, but in the great pool of ideas and opinion this can. rarelybe avoided. The idea of free speech is to encourage debate and rests strongly on the presumption that itis the individual who is best suited to make their own moral choices. Any attempt to enforce moralityshould be viewed skeptically. The road to censorship and bans is seldom clearly marked. It starts as ahazy track and ends as a four-lane interstate. One of the most well-known figures of 20th century wrote: "Theater, art, literature, cinema, press posters and window displays must be cleaned of allmanifestations of our rotting world ... Public life must be freed from the stifling perfume of our moderneroticism ... The right of personal freedoms recedes before the duty to preserve the race." The authorwas Adolf Hitler. Last year's AS Board (and quite possibly this year's too) maintained the opinion thatbecause the AS bookstore is a student cooperative, they, as our elected representatives, had the rightto make managerial decisions of what, and what not to sell. I find this appropriate for economic, notmoral, decisions. The magazines removed were making money so the decision was not economic. Ibelieve last year's board decision, was strongly influenced by two guest speakers. The first was NikkiCraft, a women's rights activist Li a separate incident last year, she and others donned ski masks andphotographed male customers patronizing "Great Northern Books," a Bellingham adult bookstore. Theypublished these photographs in a leaflet titled "Porn User of the Week." The second speaker was Lucy Colvin, who after recovering from bulimia, attributed her eating disorder to pornography. When Iquestioned the AS Board Adviser, Jack Smith, he said the two speakers gave their presentations fromchairs placed in front of the board. Smith said he felt that this positioning was of little consequence. Idisagree. There is an implication of higher authority in this seating arrangement As the purpose of theopen meeting was to persuade the AS Board to vote one way or the other, the positioning separated theactivists from the crowd and may have been instrumental in the persuasion process. Let's remember thatthe vote was 4-3. The only other speaker receiving this privilege was one other (opinion unknown) whocould not be heard from the rear of the room. If speakers are allowed to address the issue in this manner, impartiality by the board would seem to dictate that a representative expressing an opposing viewpointenjoy the same privilege. A speaker from the American Civil Liberties Union would have been appropriate. Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse magazines have been banned from die AS Bookstore since last Spring quarter. Now we need a referendum with a 65 percent mandate to bring them back. This seems a quaintform of reverse logic. Surely, it would be more reasonable to require the referendum have a 65 percentmandate to take them off the shelves in the first place. If this were the process, we wouldn't have tospend valuable time reclaiming the freedom that a few morality crusaders managed to bilk us out of in the first place. ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 15 ---------- November 6,1990 The Western Front 15 LETTERS Initiative gives â€¢ beauty a chance -â€”"OearESitOT, Weyerhauser, Boeing, the National Association of Realtors and their allies are countingon you this Tues- * day â€” counting on your failure to show up at the voting booth.

Heathens question the existence of God. A supposedly respectablecollege publication dares' to print the word "FUCK" in an editorial.

Lighten up people and give each other a break! Your lettersentertain us, amuse us, and make us giggle uncontrollably. The problem is me fact mat we think you'veintended mem seriously. We feel sorry for you. The problem here is that our so-cietyhaslostallofitsgoodrolemodels. Elvis is truly dead and Reagan damn well should be. There's no oneto look up to anymore. Except of course, the Earring Man. Yes, folks, that's right; he'sback . -â€”.andhopefully to stay. Vendors Row just wasn't the same without him. He gave us earrings on credit (coolearrings at that), kept his prices low, and told wonderful, philosophic stories. He's owned a disco, sold art throughout the country, and lived at peace. And now, like Christ, he was taken from the people and,also like Christ, he returned to lighten us once again. Earring Man is an important part of our lives hereat Western. He reminds us that in this yuppie, money-crazed society there are still honest, caringindividuals that can make a great earring at a low price. We can all learn a little something from ourbeloved Earring Man. Thank God (or whoever you believe in this week) he'sback!! m, Beth Pelto andMichael Long Undecided and English Education Middle East continued from page 10 mind that Noriega was the CIA's main man in South America for many years. Perhaps if the U.S. government had notstrengthened Noriega's hand throughout the years, he would never f- have come to power andsubsequently. many hundreds of American and Panamanian lives would have been saved. It seems thatthe U.S. government is against invasion, unless it is doing the invading. Because of the limited space, much has remained unsaid. However, my hope is that future articles will offer more substance in termsof discussing relevant issues. I agree with the main thrust of the article that prompted me into writingmis response. However, invalid examples do little to enhance mutual understanding, especiallywhen mentioned against a backdrop of dearth of pertinent discussion and information. One must becareful not to allow obvious cultural differences to work towards justification of "bad foreign policy." AsJesse Jackson said a couple of months ago, "Saddam Hussein is the wrong man with the rightmessage!" Ignore the man, but if you, or more specifically, yourgovernmentignores his message, therewill be others who will champion the Arab cause. I urge Americans to hold their government accountablefor its actions. As things stand today, the United States (as represented by its government) has animmense credibility problem.

Ayers staff reporter More than 500 people packed the Viking Union lounge Wednesday to hear Cesar Chavez, president of the Union Farm Workers lt; of America, call for support of a boycott of Californiagrapes. "We ask you to join with us in public action," Chavez told the enthusiastic crowd. "We ask youto boycott grapes ... in fact, we ask you to boycott anything that looks like a grape." The standing-room-only crowd gave Chavez two standing ovations as he spoke about the problems facing farm workers.Chavez said the worst of these problems is caused by the use of pesticides which he said led to thedevelopment of population "cancer clusters" â€” areas in rural California showing an alarmingly high rateof cancer victims. He said in McFarland, Calif., with a population of around 6,000, the cancer rate forchildren is 800 percent greater than the national average, and another farming town just miles to the north has a rate 1200 percent higher than the national average. "In these cancer clusters there is the highestrate of birth defects anywhere in the nation," Chavez said. Chavez, founder of the UFW and a well known activist for more than 20 years, said the main focus of the union's boycott are the pesticides he blamesfor these problems. "In 1965 the growers said they couldn't hope to raise one single grape withoutpesticides," he said. But, following a grape boycott, in which 17.5 million Americans joined, the growerscame to the negotiating table and the pesticide DDT was eventually prohibited from agricultural use.Now, Chavez said, new pesticides have replaced the old, and the conditions are no better. "Pesticidesare poisons â€” their only Cesar Chavez talks with students after purpose to kill living things. And weknow we are all living things," he said. "The debate always comes around to risks and benefits ... weneed to take risks as a population to benefit the polluters, that's what they are really saying." Chavezsaid public action was the only way to change the conditions for farm workers. "We don't have the votesto pass meaningful legislation in this state or in any state... We can't do it through public policy giving alecture in the VU lounge this (so) instead we offer public action. We need to bypass legislators and godirectly to the marketplace." ,. In a press cpnference prior to his speech, Chavez said the current grapeboycott, which started in 1988, was about to move into its third â€” and most important â€” stage. "In the third stage, the picketing starts ... the real controversial part," he said. Chavez said the earlier stages,which consisted of getting endorsements from religious and civic groups, and the current week ^'e rAnderson/The Western Front consumer boycott have given the farmers a solid base of support â€” around 12 million people; He said the union estimated they would need 18 million Americans to stop eatinggrapes in order to force the growers to negotiate. Chavez told the crowd they could make a difference,even at Western. "You can help us by not eating grapes, you can go to your food service and ask themto remove grapes ... on their (farm workers) behalf we ask you to do your part." Charges of anti-Semitism brought against Goller By Noelle Kompkoff campus government editor In a letter submitted toAssociated Students President Mark Aaserud Tuesday, a Veteran's Outreach Center member hascharged Vice President of External Affairs Chad Goller with anti-Semitism. With the opening remark, "(I)believe that anti-Semitism is alive and well at WWU," VOC member Shaun Bridge contends Goller made several racist statements about Jews during a discussion in the VOC last January â€” about the timeSaddam Hussein bombed Israel with SCUD missiles. Bridge alleges Goller told him, "all Jews are eviland they must die," in front of other VOC members Tim Osterholm, Mark Monroe, Dave Fuller, ChristinaRustvold and Mark Carlsen. "I was offended by these charges," Goller said. "I deny saying these quotes, and I deny the anti-Semitic charges." Bridge also stated Goller claimed to be an expert on Jewishculture because he said he had lived in Israel and attended Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Bridge saidGoller justified his statements by saying, "Jews... own... the slums in New York," and that a very credible professor in Canada "has documented and done research proving the Holocaust never happened."Bridge said he didnotmention the fact that he is Jewish to Goller at the time of the incident. "I did notsay, nor insinuate (that Jews are evil)," wrote Goller in a letter to Bridge. Goller said in the letter thatBridge must have misunderstood what he had said about conflicts be- Shaun Bridge tween blacktenants and their Jewish landlords, as well as misunderstanding what he said about a professor, whomGoller said taught the theory that white men are superior to blacks. "If you misunderstood anything I said, I offer you my sincere apologies.," Goller said in his letter to Bridge. "When we let misunderstandings go undiscussed, they become bigger misunderstandings. I am afraid that is what this has turned into."Monroe verified some of Bridges allegations. "At the time (Goller made his remarks) I was using thecomputer and there was a heated conversation between (Goller and Bridge) about Jews in general,"Monroe said. "Right before Chad left, I remember him saying the key words, 'They are evil and they mustdie.' Chad Goller I remember them (the words) because they were so harsh." Speaking as actingcoordinator for the VOC, Monroe stated a position of neutrality for the center. "We are not involved in theconflict," he said. Goller, who left Wednesday morning for a conference in Kansas City on racism, saidhe was "very surprised" when he heard about the allegations. "It's a very interesting form of retaliation,"Goller said, referring to the events surrounding VOC Coordinator Tim Osterholm's resignation last week.Osterholm resigned after Goller told him he was going to be held accountable for racial graffiti found on acalendar in the VOC See CHARGES on page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS April 12,1991 Briefs Clean up Squalicum Beach As part of the Earth Month Campaign this April, the Associated Students Environmental Center is sponsoring a cleanup ofSqualicum Beach April 14.

Credit card applicants tobenefit Western Foundation scholarships By Mike Clynch staff reporter Within the next two or threeweeks Western students should be receiving applications for a special VISA credit card that will helpfinance scholarships and projects, Lance Olsen, AS treasurer/ secretary, said. The credit cards arethe brainchild of Olsen, who heads the Not For Profit Board responsible for initiating the idea. The board,which is comprised of the AS Board of Directors, negotiated with MBNA America Bank, a nationalbank based in Delaware, and Trans National Group Services to provide a mailing list of Western students in exchange for financial compensation. VISA will pay the Western Foundation $1 for every newaccount, 15 cents for every transaction, and S3 each time the card is renewed. Olsen estimates thatafter two years, $25,000 will be earned per year. The funds will be used for scholarships and specialprojects. The credit card currently has a 19.8 percent interest rate. Olsen said this was close to theaverage rate for most cards. A condition the board set for providing student mailing lists to VISA is thatthe list may not be released to any other businesses, to ensure that students aren't besieged byfloods of junk mail from other companies. A letter drafted by Olsen will accompany the credit cardapplication. Olsen said his letter will explain the board's position on this issue and the benefits availableto Western. Western will assume no liability for the cards. Credit histories and other financial criteria will be used to judge the acceptability of each application. Susan Durkee, a counselor for ConsumerCredit Counselling Service of Seattle which has a branch office in Student Credit Card applications. TylerAnderson/The Western Front downtownBellingham, said she didn't see a big problem with the cards.Durkee said she typically counsels only two students a month who have run up their credit card andcan't afford to pay the bill. She also said that she thought it may be better to learn how to deal withcredit in school rather than in the work force. The number of undergraduates, with creditcardsincreased37 percent from 1988 to 1990, according to Collegetrack, a marketing research and consultingfirm in Manhatten. Credit News, a trade magazine, estimates the number of college students owningcredit cards to be 3.9 million. This is about 70 percent of the total students enrolled in four-yearcolleges. The NotForProfitboard estimates 1,000 to 1,500 cards will be issued to Western studentsduring the first year. The Times said typical student credit limits are about $500. VISA, unlike AmericanExpress, does not require the bill to be paid in full every month. Charges can be paid off in installmentswith interest as long as a minimum charge is paid each month. Benefit dance raises money for burnvictim by Julie Davisson staff reporter More than 400 people attended the benefit dance Saturday forWestern studentPete Albert, 23, who wasbadly burned in the Jan. 2 fire at Bellingham's ML BakerApartments. Kim Owner , a close friend of Albert's died in the fire. The benefit was organized" by the Rugby Club in order to raise money to help Albert cover his medical Pete Albert and costs, whichare expected to be at least $500,000â€”insurance will only cover $300,000 worth of those bills. EmmettKerns, a rugby player and one of the organizers of the event, said the $4 cover charge and beer gardenproduced enough capital to sufficiently cover the costs of the event. Kerns estimates the proceeds totalapproximately $400. Kerns, a longtime friend of Albert's, said the dance was a success and everyoneseemed to have a good time. Captain Dick and the Portholes provided the music, and Kerns said theymade sure the audience knew about the cause. "It was fun for him (Albert) to see people and get out ofthe hospital for a while," Kerns said. "Pete said he had a real good time." At about 11 p.m., the RugbyClub presented Albert with a jersey printed with the number 11. Eleven was Albert's number when he played football at community college. Albert has been in S e a t t l e ' s Kim Owner HarborviewHospital since the day of the fire and was moved to the rehabilitation unit about three weeks ago. Kerns saidAlbert should be released from the hospital in about a week. Albert will need to stay close to the hospital for therapy, but he plans on returning to Western in the fall to finish a degree in environmental policy.Kerns said Albert loved playing rugby and hopes to play again someday. "I see no reason why hecan't," Kerns said.

"I couldn't live withmyself knowing my taxes were going to buy bombs that are killing people in El Salvador and Iraq," saidKerkvliet, a member of Bellingham's War Tax Redirection Campaign. Kerkvliet, joined by others whowant to influence where their taxes go, is manning an Alternative Revenue Service booth outside theFederal Building until April 15. A Tax Day rally on April 15 at the Federal Building will feature localspeakers, such as Western Professor Maury Foisy and Juan Oriz, director of the Commission ofHispanic and Ethnic Relations. The Alternative Revenue Service is a project of the War Resister' sLeague, a national organization that provides alternative tax forms for people who don't want their taxmoney going to the military. "I think people perceive they have no control whatsoever over their taxes,"campaign member Steve Wilson said as he explained why so few Americans question how their taxes are spent. According to pamphlets distributed by the War Resisters League, 61 percent of the federal government's 1990 budget was spent on past and present military expenses. For members of thecampaign, providing the funds for military build-up and intervention violates a deeply-heldcommitment to oppose war. "I identify myself as a conscien- IS THIS HOW YOUR TAX DOLLARSSHOULD BE SPENT? -fine 50.20 -4$ M 1,60 2.80 is100 MILITARY EMPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENTHOUSING EDUCATION HEALTH CARE Northern California Common Agenda Coalition â€¢ AmericanFriends Service Committee tious objector to military service and paying for military services," Wilsonsaid. Tom Clark, a member of Bellingham Citizens for Peace in the Middle East, has chosen to withhold the federal excise tax on his monthly phone bills in order to protest that such a small percentage offederal money is allocated to human resources, such as welfare and student grants. Both Wilson andKerkvliet said most reasons given for tax resistance are part .of complex moral and spiritual beliefs.Tax resistance is not a way of avoiding taxes, but a way to tell the federal government spendingpriorities should be changed, Kervliet said. "We're not opposed to taxation, that's essential," Wilsonsaid. "It's just our priorities are out of line." One passerby said, "Once they (the IRS) have it (my taxes)in hand, it's out of my control." However, campaigning members said many options are available totaxpayers with varying degrees of risk. The simplest way to show disapproval of government spendingpriorities is to refuse to pay the federal phone tax. The excise tax on all local and long-distancecharges was instituted during the Vietnam War in order to help pay the war's rising costs, and isstill generating S3 billion a year for military spending, Kerkvliet said. Withholding the tax simply requiresmailing a letter of explanation or one of the War Tax Redirection Campaign's special forms along with the bill to tell the phone company how much is being withheld and why. According to the campaign flier, noone has been charged with a criminal offence because of this action. Kerkvliet said he has withheld his phone tax for eight years without reprisal. Taxpayers can also choose to withhold a portion of theirincome tax and include with the IRS form the EZ Peace form distributed by the War Resister's League.The EZ Peace form looks like a 1040 form and allows taxpayers to place portions of their taxes underthe headings human resources; physical resources; environment, education and culture; Interna- .tional Conflict Resolution; and Justice. The amounts range from $1- S50. Individuals wanting to take a greater risk can withhold the military percentage of their taxes (61%) or withhold all of their federalincome tax. The War Tax Redirection Campaign will also be collecting signatures forf Senate bill689. The new "peace tax" bill would create a conscientious objector status for taxpayers, a reviewboard to screen tax objectors in the same way a draft board screens conscientious objectors tomilitary service, a federal peace tax fund and a national peace college, according to the NationalCampaign for a Peace Tax Fund brochure. Members of the War Tax Redistribution Campaign willpresent the Peace Tax bill petitions to Al Swift's office at 1:30 pm Friday. continued from page 1n^;:the::.OT^-6|winier:!quarter.- Goller said he wondered why Bridge waited so long before making acomplaint. "It's; interesting he (Bridge) didn't come talk to me about this," Goller said. "Why did he waitamonth and ahalf to bring this up?" Bridge said he didn't file his complaint sooner because shortly afterthe incident his father was severely injured in a coma for 36 days. Rustvold, listed in Bridge's letter as awitness to Goller's alleged remarks, said she heard Goller talking about Jews and the Palestinian issue. "I did hear the comment 'Jews are evil and they must be destroyed," Rustvold said. In a regularlyscheduled AS Board meeting Tuesday night, Aaserud said he hadn't looked into the issue enough tomake a coment. "These are very serious charges and I will be working with Chad on this," Aaserudsaid.

Sparrow's work was displayed as part of the "Elemental Clay" exhibit put onby WCC's Studio Potters' Program April 5-7. Pieces of functional ware by Gregg Downey and SandyRowe were also displayed. "It's kind of like psychic time travel," said Sparrow describing his creativeprocess as he stood beside one of his sculptures. "It's pretty much a subconscious activity. I try for apure sense of form and balance. Sometimes I get really focused in on a place, like Egypt or Africa.Other times it's more vague, like a fuzzy picture," Sparrow said. Sparrow's sculpture is unusual andstriking, making good use of natural colors and motifs. Sparrow said he draws on themes and imageswhich he believes make up a cross-cultural pool of myths and icons. "All mythologies share commonsymbols, use the same elements," Sparrow said. Myths and symbols serve as his inspiration, notartistic crutches, Sparrow said. "I don't believe in ripping off some other culture's symbology. I draw onall kinds of common themes." Animal imagery dominates Sparrow's art. "Mainly dogs and cats," hesaid with a laugh. "Nothing particularly exotic." Sparrow admits he was influenced byAmericanIndianreligious artifacts garnered during his travels inMexico, Guatemala and the AmericanSouthwest; Animals like the jaguar and coyote had particular significance. "That's what's great aboutart. It's a cheap way to travel. Through my sculpture, I can go anywhere in the world," he said. Sparrow,who is coordinator of the Studio Potters' Program, has been a potter for 18 years. He came from anartistic background, both his parents had careers in fine and commercial art. He said he spent some time as a production potter in San Francisco, spinning out pots and bowls for the public, but eventuallytiredof the dull routine and lack of creative freedom. "People become production potters because theythink they are escaping from the rat race," he said. "But after a while they discover it's just a differentkind of rat race." Now, Sparrow said, he does strictly the type of art he feels like doing. "Once itbecomes work, it loses its fun, its sense of spontaneity. A lot of people sell out, do the stuff that getsthe most money. I prefer enjoying what I do." Boulevard Park's Orca Gallery serves as the headquartersfor the Studio Potters Program, with its own kiln and work area, and the added bonus of the bay view.People can join the program through Whatcom Community College, whether they are serious potters orjust want to get their fingers in some wet clay.

Produced by TheatreFest '91 and sponsored by theBellingham Municipal Arts Commission, Peoria will openinMay attheWhatcomMuseum of History andArt. Produced and directed by Adam Ward, the creator of TheatreFest, Peoria is the examination ofmiddle class America, andits oftenhumorous struggle against boredom. "Everyone (in the play) wants to be special. They are all looking for the 'unique article.' The secret to being special is to decide that youare," Boynton said. Boynton said this is the theme he has derived from working on the play's production so far. Both Hahn, the other lead, and he play a complex, bizarre, yet realistic set of characters in theplay. In one scene, Klein has the characters speak what they are thinking, while recorded voice-oversrepresent actual conversation. Boynton, a 1981 graduate of theatre and dance, is one of the two leadactors in the play. His arrival back in Bellingham, a decade later, is with a great deal of change andpersonal growth. "I was being tumbled along by the Jason Haws/The Western Front Actress Jody Hahnand director Adam Ward look on as actor Ken Boynton strikes a pose inbetween interviews for "Peoria."winds of fate, I guess. I was trying to climb out of the ocean of art, only to be ripped back in by theundertow," Boynton said. Boynton said he explored his talents after graduating from Western as amusician in a rock band, song writer and as on-air commercial talent. He finally found his niche inacting through a production with the Mount Seattle Theatre Project and two productions with Seattle'sacclaimed Empty Space Theatre. Boynton has also appeared in two films, Lessie's Rainbow andStages. Hahn, the other lead in Peoria, is a 1990 theatre graduate. Since her graduation, Hahn said shehas played a role as "the little nun" in the Seattle Repertory Theatre's production House of Blue Leaves. Reflecting on her role in Peoria, Hahn said, "It (the play) is amazingly true... It's rare a piece of theatrecatches this much in a show that's not that long." Hahn was also at the Seattle Fringe-Fest in the playTrial By Jury, as well as in the New City Director's Festival production of Stop. Hahn said she has keptin close contact with other Western graduates through an independent film project. Hahn said Gee, thesilent black-and-white film she is working on, is written, directed and produced by alumni. Hahn saidshe met Ward, theplay's director, during the first TheatreFest in 1988. TheatreFest is perfect in thiscommunity which has a lot of college theatre, but not a lot within the community itself, Hahn said.Crane, a 1985 self-design Fairhaven graduate, is the designer and technical director for Peoria.. Cranesaid the self-design major in performing arts' design and production is a real asset when he is lookingfor employment. Crane said it proves that he is a self-motivated worker and thinker since he wrote hisown major. Crane said he built on his expertise as an intern at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. He alsoworked at the Bathhouse and Intiman Theatres in Seattle as a technician. Crane is now in his secondyear as the designer and technical director at Skagit Valley Community College's theatre department.For TheatreFest '91, Cranehas the taskof transforming the old city council chambers in the WhatcomMuseum, or what is now called the Rotunda Room, into a stage for the play. "The script calls for skewed spacing â€” strange angles which get you off balance," Crane said. He added that the set he hasplanned for the Rotunda Room is non-traditional in the theatrical sense. "Theatre people will be baffled,"Crane said. This may enhance the play's appeal toward a wide, diverse audience. "Peoria is not just atown, it's a state of mind," playwright Klein has said about the production. Tickets for the play, whichruns fromMay 16-19 and23-26, are $5 for students and senior citizens; S7.50 general admission; and $6for members of the Whatcom Museum and Allied Arts.

Jensen staff reporter "Two minutes to purgatory," spouts one of the Speedy O'Tubbs bartenders asshe passes by, only moments before the doors open to admit the impatient Saturday night crowd. TheCRAZY 8s are back again. Little more than a month after the band's last appearance here, the crowd isready for that special brand of music the 8s seem to covet for themselves. "It's hard to describe ourmusic," guitarist Mark Wanaka said while other members of the band struggled for a label. "It'scorrugated silk... it's natural polyester," the other band members finally said. "I think our music is unique because we blend so many different styles and come up with a sound that's like, sort of undefinable," Todd "Dookey" Duncan, lead vocalist and alto sax player said. Their music, in fact, does seem to defyany attempt to label it. Younever quite seem to know what will pop up next in their music. One minuteyou'11 hear hard-core, old-fashioned jazz, the next it's reggae or ska, and the next minute they'reblending funk, fusion, punk, or any number of styles. If the crowd waiting in the cool, lavishly and oddlydecorated dungeon called Speedy O'Tubbs can't figure out just what the CRAZY 8s play, they don'tseem to mind. Everyone is there for the pure enjoyment of the music. This is only the group's secondperformance with the new, full lineup of eight members, which includes new tenor sax player JayCollins and keyboard player Ron Regan. From the original nine members, the group had dropped toseven until recently. But once again, the band is the CRAZY 8s. The current line-up includes Duncan on lead vocals and alto saxophone, Wanaka playing guitar, Tim "Hot" Tubb blowing trombone and singingback-up vocals, Carl "The Truth" Smith playing percussion, Blackness on drums, Michael Regan onbass and the two new youngsters, Collins and Ron Regan. New or not, everyone definitely held their own on Saturday night . Impressive solos were laid down on various tunes by all members (Wow! Keep thenew guys.) It was quickly evident the audience was enjoying itself. The subdued bar transformed into arolling, jumping, sweating concert "pit." Even the guys playing pool in the back couldn't resist themusic. "Bellingham people seem to listen to the music as opposed to just coming to see the band,get drunk and get laid. When they 're here for the music, that's nice," Duncan said. Old stuff, new stuff,and a couple of interesting cover-tunes rounded out the three-hour-plus show. The band was relentless,making everyone dance until they could barely stand. People wandered home, complete with squishedtoes, dozens of bruises, and big, contented smiles on their faces. The CRAZY 8s, a nine-year-old bandout of Corvalis, Ore., are currently touring to promote their latest album, "Doggapotamus World" â€”their fifth album released from their own Red Rum Records (anybody get the joke?) "DoggapotamusWorld" Western Front file photo was the 8s' first studio project in more than three years."Doggapotamus World's" slow sales take-off has been a bit of a letdown for some band members.However, they are still expecting good things from it, Duncan said. "It's doing all right, but it's notdoing great. It's sort of disappointing because we think it's one of our most exciting deals we've recorded.Itmore clearly captures our energy on record," Wanaka said. "It was one of the most creative packageswe've ever done," Duncan added. Oneof the main reasons hindering the band's success, and its recordsales, is thehier archy and bureaucracy of the record business, Duncan said. Unsigned, as of yet, to amajor record label, the 8s handle everything themselves. "Wecan'tafford the machinery to push recordslike the big guys," Duncan said. "It's not such a great deal just getting signed. It's what happens after. Sometimes they just use you as a tax write-off," Wanaka added. Hard work and perseverance seem tobe paying off for the CRAZY 8s. "We've put out five of our own records, paid every bill ourselves, had fivenational tours, played with 25 international acts, and we are still making a living at it," Wanaka said. The CRAZY 8s plan to tour the Pacific Northwest for the rest of the spring and summer, and a larger,nationwide tour next fall. The 8s will possibly begin work on another studio project early next year.Watch for it. "Whatever we're doing, we're going to keep doing it," Duncan said.

Youthful Ridge Quartet performs at PAC By ArtHughes staff reporter The Ridge Quartet did not blaze into the first movement of Mozart's String Quartetin C Major, K. 157. A young, but obviously experienced group, they set a tone in the first bars of theallegro that delivered a musical warmth and charm ^throughout the performance. Instead of anydistracting attempts to display individual egos, these four musicians proved they are dedicated to theart of playing in a string quartet. They played the opening movement without overpowering oneanother and let the beautiful descending melody in the first violin shine through where it needed to.The Andante was a slower, more sombermovementwithlyricmelodies in all the voices. The theme returned frequently to a brief, understated arpeggio in the cello, showing Peter Wyrick's subtle restraint withinthe group and a mature ear for dynamic. "When I was younger I wanted to play fast and loud," Wyricksaid after the performance, "but playing well in a string quartet is something you come to when you aremore mature as a musician." Second on the program was Franz Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in CMinor, Op. 17, No. 4. The group made full use of every dynamic mark, passing musical phrases to one another with a care and ease that comes only after years of playing together. Violist Maria LambrosKannen said the quartet is good at the continual process of "tuning in" to one another, in practice and inperformance. "Before we go on stage, we knowâ€”alittle bitâ€”what we're going to hear. Then we try tolisten to one another with fresh ears each time," Kannen said. Thehighlightoftheperformance was thethird movement of the second quartet by Mozart, the Quartet in G Major, K. 387. It exploited themusicians' ability to play as a single voice. Two or three of the players would lay down a rich,emotional bed of harmony, allowing the other players, in turn, to soar above or weave in and out. Theplayers would make eye contact with one another before ex- . changing the theme or continuing themelodies between themselves. It was easy to see and hear how personal and conversational this quartetcould be. The Ridge Quartet has won two major chamber music competitions. They were Quartet-in-Residence at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S. C, and they spent the summer at the Italian SpoletoFestival. In May of 1988 they became the youngest quartet to perform in Carnegie Hall. Wyrick saidhe doesn't despair that the word "young" is frequently mentioned before their name. "We're pretty young; our oldest member is 32. It just means we have so much repertoire ahead of us," Wyrick said. Theprogram Tuesday night stuck to the roots of the classical period, but presented some subtle surprise.Mozart's Quartet in C is an early quartet by the composer, written in Italy in 1772. It is often used as a practice piece, but rarely performed in concert by modern string quartets. Kannen said they decidedonMozart' s Quartet in C Major almost by whimsy. "We just thought it would be fun to work it upbecause it is passed over by so many other quartets," Kannen said. In addition to Kannen and Wyrick,the quartet includes Krista BennionFeeney andRobertRinehart, both on violin. To maintain a highstandard, the quartet only leams about 12 new pieces a year, and there is little available on recording.With a first-rate sound, however, and mature outlook on the future, more will surely be heard from theRidge Quartet "Everything is so fun," cellist Wyrick said, "and the thought of being together for thenext 20 years... is a real comfort."

Tennis improves record By Suzi Zobrist staff reporter The Westernwomen's tennis team notched another win after hosting Skagit Valley Community College, on April9. The final score, 7-2, brings the Viking's overall record to 8-2. Although it was wet and cold, theweather didn' t hinder the teams' performance. In the singles, victories came from freshman EliseRosenblum in theNo.3 match and freshman Brenda Swigart in the No .4 match. Both doubles matcheswere won instraightsets.withfreshmanMelinda Castonguay and junior Carin Clow in the No.l match andSwigart teamed with Rosenblum in the No.2 match. Coach Jo Ann Andrews said she feels this season's tennis team is strong and with District Championships quickly approaching, she hopes for good weather to work on the team's improvement. "My goal for the team is to have them win districts and thenadvance on to nationals," Andrews said. "I see areas for improvement in the strategy of matches playedand we (the team) work on these changes. Any big changes will need to be worked on this summer."I'm really excited about the tennis team," team member Karen Richert said. "Everyone is reallysupportive of it, and it looks really promising for us." In order to "keep everyone sharp with their game," a challenge system has been designed. Player line-up is determined by Andrews, based on the setsplayed by the players. If players wish to advance and change their seating, they may challenge otherplayers in the seats they want. If the challenged players lose, they drop one seat and the victoriousplayers advance. "Everyone has been challenging matches lately," Richert said. "Everyone isincredibly close and there have been changes." With many home matches coming up this month, thetennis team is looking for support from Western students. "I didn't expect many spectators to be at thematch because of the weather, but as the team continues to win, hopefully more people will show up,"Andrews said. Kevin Bryant named director of marketing and promotions By Clayton Wright staffreporter Kevin Bryant was named Director of Marketing and Promotions for the Athletic DepartmentalWestern, a position which did not exist prior to its announcement March 25. The position was created to help supplement funding for the athletic department, which is partially subsidized by the state.Bryant, 32, will be in charge of creating a market plan for the department and increasing publicrelations. "Our focus next year will be to put more money in the program and more people in thestands," Bryant said. "We want to be the best entertainment value for your dollar north of Seattle."Bryant said in order to achieve the goals of the department, it will have to get people to attend gameseven if the team is losing. Bryant said he intends to add post-game dances, showcase prominentpersonalities, and give out promotional prizes. "We're not trying to create a circus because ourathletics are poor," Bryant said. "However, I feel we need a different approach to promotions outsidethe gym. Wewantpeople to wonder what's coming up next." After graduating from Western in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in speech communication, Bryant returned in 1990 to earn his master's degree instudent personnel administration. Bryant was actively involved in the local community in the last threeyears and has established many business contacts prior to returning to Western. With this experience,Bryant said he feels he understands fund raising from a non-profit viewpoint. "We're real fortunate to have Kevin to fill this position," Lynda Goodrich, Western director of athletics, said. "He brings a readyknowledge of Bellingham and Whatcom County, an understanding of the philosophy of athletics atWestern, and experience in marketing and promotion. You couldn't find a more enthusiasticambassador for our program than Kevin." Even though the position is labeled as a part-time job,Bryant admits it will be more of a full-time job. Bryant will also continue as assistant coach to BradJackson for the men's basketball team, a position he has occupied for the past four seasons. Bryant has also served as the athletic department's alumni relations representative the past two years and played a major role in the return of homecoming. From 1976 to 1980,Bryant played basketball for the Vikings and remains the school's fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,310 points. He was an all-district and all-conference selection and participated in the first Olympic Sports Festival in 1978. ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front OPINION April 12,1991 FRONTLINE Boycott of grapes could help save thechildren His voice was loud and clear as he spoke to a charged crowd of more than 500 people, gatheredin the Viking Union Lounge to hear him on Wednesday. Cesar Chavez, president of the United FarmWorkers of America, had a simple message: Stop buying grapes (as well as Chateau Ste. Michelle wine)and help save our children. If an estimated 3 percent of wine buyers and 9-10 percent of grapeconsumers stop purchasing these products, the current grape boycott will be successful. The purpose ofthe boycott is to pressure vineyard owners to meet three demands: 1) ban the use of the five mostharmful, cancer causing pesticides used in grape growing (Captan, Parathion, Phosdrin, Dinoseb, andMethyl Bromide), 2) implement a joint UFW/grower testing program to detect poisonous residues ongrapes sold in stores and allow the results to be made public, 3) establish free and fair elections and good faith collective bargaining for farm workers. This is the third grape boycott Chavez has orchestrated. The first, implemented in 1960s, was successful because 17.5 million people boycotted grapes. Successfulboycotting of California grapes led to a grape contract that included a ban on DDT, Dieldrin, and Aldrin in1970. The current boycott, which began in 1988, is entering a critical stage in which increased awareness and support is needed more than ever. Extensive spraying of Captan and other pesticides is killing farmworkers and causing cancer and birth defects in McFarland, Calif., and other "cancer cluster" townsthroughout the San Joaquin Valley. In McFarland, where the cancer rate for children age 4 to 12 is 800percent higher than the national average, a square block exists in which one child in every home hasfallen victim to cancer. As Chavez said, the workers who suffer from pesticide inhalation "areparakeets for the market place." The residue from those pesticides remains on those grapes and isingested by thousands of Americans. The state of California is in the pocket of agri-businesses and theEnvironmental Protection Agency has become just one more bureaucratic wheel in the political machine.As a result grapes with Captan residue levels of as much as 39 parts per million are legally sold in themarket place. This is 10 times higher than acceptable pesticide levels on European produce. The EPAhas inconsistently banned the use of Captan on other crops but refuses to stop its use in grape and grain production. The reasons for allowing the use of deadly pesticides is purely economic and the result isdeath for thousands of people across Americaâ€”unless we act now. The American people blocked theuse of DDT by banning grapes in the '60s and they have the power to do it again. As Chavez slated, thegovernment won't stop it and legislation won't stop it, so the market place has become "our court of lastresort." Eight hundred thousand children under the age of 12 are working the Califomian grapefieldsâ€”fields sprayed with deadly pesticides. "Help them and give them a chance," Chavez said.

NEA:victim of political opportunism i By Michael Anthony Staff reporter have a cousin in Congress andalthough we'venevermet,Ifeel I've come to know him well. He is Representative Richard "Dick" Armey(Republican, Texas), a frequent guest on television news programs. A man with a mission, Armey isseeking the abolition of the National Endowment For the Arts. A stocky, media-friendly conservative,Armey is riding the waves of a tumultuous battle over federal subsidy of art some consider to be anti-religious, obscene, or otherwise objectionableâ€”an issue that enables him to score easy points with hisconstituents, and achieve much craved national attention. Armey's infatuation with the NEA fracasseems to be a matter of convenience rather than conviction. He has positioned himself strategically andsafely in the eye of a raging hurricane, within an issue mainly popular for its obscenity and censorshipaspects. In earlier television appearances, Armey uttered his disapproval of taxpayer dollars fundingsuch works as the homo-erotic photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe. In recent interviews though, Armeyhas modified his position. Transforming his view to one of general distaste for all federal art subsidies,Armey now claims to have no quarrel with controversial art. Publicly, at least, he has exchanged hismoral outrage for what passes as simple, frugal budget consciousness. He resists the label of censorunder the guise of a budget cutter. An intelligent political strategist, Armey wears two masks. All atonce, he is viewed by conservatives as a staunch defender of moral values, and by moderates as aprotector of the public troughâ€” allowing him to accept the appreciation of happy conservative watchdogsand reject the charges of liberal art supporters with equal grace (by claiming he is actually trying to putan end to the bias and censorship of the NEA). To middle America he is not perceived as a threat to civilliberties, to moralists he is the threat they are looking for, and to the arts community he is hard to pindown. Armey deflects criticism by referring to the NEA itself as a "censorship organization" that makessubjective judgements about the value of art all the time. Looking at the present system of art subsidy, itis true. The NEA, sometimes as a result of pressure and sometimes out of bureaucratic self-interest,does act as a censor of the arts. It is true that, as long as we federally fund art, we are engaged incensorship unavoidably. It is among the policymakers that a shift in thinking needs to occur. Art should not be subsidized. It is the artist that needs and deserves our support. The National Endowment shouldnot be destroyed, just reorganized. What is overlooked among all the smoke and hot air surrounding this debate is a growing misconception of the arts. A simple view is art is merely attractive, decorative, orsimply something that sells. But art is not only what is publicly palatable or commercially viable. Artcanalso be disturbing; a window to another culture (or counter-culture), or even a different See Anthony, page 11 Drugs: an unnecessary crutch A By Jeff Flugel Staff reporter 11 right, let's get this straight â€”taking drugs to stimulate relaxation and creativity is a normal activity?It's common, maybe, but is itsomething to be endorsed? The campus majority seems to think so. I, for one, do not. I heartily agreewith those who feel we need to keep a watchful eye on the U.S. government's anti-drug campaign beforeit squashes all First Amendment freedoms beneath its iron heel, but to support drug use as a positive,necessary means of stress relief is ridiculous, not to mention disturbing. We all know the negative effects of drug use. I won't argue against the positive medical and psychological benefits, for they have beenproven. But occasional drug use totters constantly on the brink of dependency. Using marijuana or"harder" drugs to alter consciousness or to relax after a stressful day's work is not a natural technique.Fitness experts have proclaimed for years that normal, moderate exercise and biofeedback techniquesare the best and most natural means to physical and psychological harmony. Exercise, meditation,yoga, good nutrition, adequate sleepâ€” in other words, a healthy lifestyleâ€” produce all the natural"highs" an individual needs. Let's face it: clean living has been proven time and again to lead to all-around superior mental, emotional and physical health and performance. Drugs are a crutch, a more insidiousand precarious means to an end. Yes, for ages other cultures have used drugs as integral parts of theirtheological and philosophi-. cal lifestyles. However, they have relied even more on physical activity, diet,and self-control to achieve and maintain their peaceful, harmonious existence. The claim that drug use isinherent to the creative process is spurious. For every artistic or literary giant who relied on controlledsubstances for inspiration, there are dozens of others who never used them and who would have beenoffended to think that their own abilities were not enough to suitably express their genius. Whether theyare illegal and come in little plastic bags or legal and come in cans or bottles marked Bud or JackDaniels, the bottom line is that drugs are not necessary. The human body is an amazing organism.Properly treated, it can function at incredible levels of performance. Foreign substances are just that:foreign, alien and not needed. ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 11 ---------- April 12,1991 T FTTFR S The Western Front 11 From Anthony, page 10 lifestyle. Art is a means ofemotional and thoughtful communication. It is awesome, intriguing, and miraculousâ€”even when itoffends. For those who appreciate art and the artist, a system of public support is essential, filling a voidthat could otherwise be filled only by private interests. But a government-as-curator system of "morallysensitive" selection is totally unacceptable. The current NEA runs as if it is commissioning art for anemperor, being careful not to offend, when what it really should be doing is simply existing as a means ofsupport for artists. What constitutes art is most properly judged individually by those who create andappreciate it, not by government bureaucrats or the narrow, money-guided interests of corporate boardmembers. Faced with the option of eradicating the NEA, as Armey has suggested; or providing publicsupport to the artist without restriction of creati ve expression, it is the latter that seems more prudent and rational. Abolishing federal funding of the arts would be the ultimate form of censorship: censorshipthrough deprivationâ€”a wide-reaching form of censorship affecting all art, whether controversial or not.Hopefully, with perseverance, the arts community can inform the public of the need for federal support. atyour pace Liberation possible only through Jesus, not pot Dear Editor. I smoked pot for three yearsbefore experiencing a radical shift in lifestyle from "joints to Jesus," and I can agree with Kevin Keyes'opinion in the Western Front â€” getting high was indeed a "very pleasurable experience."... But after Imet the person who changed my life forever, I soon learned there was a sharp distinction between meresensation and truth, and between pleasure and real joy... In his article, Keyes says that people have trieda wide variety of substances in pursuit of a "few laughs" and says that marijuana is one of them. He thengoes on to say, "Nothing in life is perfect, but marijuana is close." This is true in one sense, but false inanother. There is something in life that is perfect, but nothing in this world can produce it, for a very simple but powerful reason: We are made in the image of God, not in the image of nature. We also have a soul,which means we were not made for this world â€” so why live as if we were? If you are seeking happinessthrough pot, you will always be in pursuit of it, but you will never find it. ...True liberation is complete andsustained. If it does not liberate fully, it is not true liberation. But it is obvious that getting stoned neveraccomplishes true liberation from boredom; if it did, the pot smoker would be able to quit after one jointâ€” but in fact, he smokes it again and again... The "Frontline" commentary suggests the legitimacy ofdrug use in religious ceremonies, but it is a mistake to suppose (as I once did) that one can experienceGod through drugs. God is a person, not a thing. He relates to us as a father relates to his child. We dealwith him through trust and humility, not through a brass pipe... â€”Daniel Carollo VOC homophobia issueremains unresolved Work at our place, Dear Editor: The racial graffiti found on a calendar in the office ofthe Veterans Outreach Center, and the subsequent resignation of VOC coordinator Tim Osterholm, is ashocking reminder of the level of bigotry on our campus. Certainly someone with Osterholm's principleshas no place in anything calling itself an "outreach center," regardless of his other qualifications. Pleaserecall that last quarter it was Mr. Osterholm whose homophobia and sexism drove him to request an officeon another floor to get away from the Women's Center and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (Jan. 29Western Front). And he wanted out of the AS Human Resource Program as well, so he wouldn't have tolisten to them "talk about gay rights, feminist issues, and the like." Apologies have not followed eitherincident. Instead, VOC employee Tom Walsh claimed "...you can't ask people to curb the way they think. We're adults now; we already have that Mind-set." With Osterholm taking his prejudices back into thecampus community, has bigotry within the VOC quietly slipped back into the closet? And have the staffmerely learned to hide their feelings in order to protect themselves from those who might be hurt oroffended? No university needs an outreach group reaching out with the poison of bigotry. If Osterholm didnot write the offending graffiti that precipitated his resignation, then the author presumably is still there,along with the mind-set Walsh so clearly â€¢ described. As a veteran, I find the remarks of Mr.Osterholm and Mr. Walshâ€”and the tacit acceptance of their prejudice by the other VOC staffmembersâ€” a disgrace to the military, to the college, and to the community. The continued operation ofthis program should be predicated on the completion by the staff of a course in sensitivity training and apublic apology from the VOC including a statement reaffirming their principles of equality. -Mark W.EllisHeavy metal rock stars: Don't like 'em? Don't listen! Dear Editors, Why are you wasting your time rantingand raving about what heavy metal rock stars do on stage? If you are so bothered about theirperformances, just don't attend them. Is it okay for Mick Jagger, Prince, Elvis, and Chuck Berry to perform in a sexually titillating manner, while it isn't okay for heavy metal musicians? Lighten up. Let the publicdecide if they like it or not. Next, you'll be claiming that Ozzy Osborne and Judas Priest are responsiblefor teen suicide. I am disappointed that the Front would waste its time on such garbage instead offocusing on more important issues such as the merciless slaughter of Kurds and Shiites by SaddamHussein or more relevant issues such as state funding for education. â€”Phil Braver, ElectronicsTechnology We know that sometimes you have the kind of work that only you can do.

For those who seek beauty and pleasure in height, there will be a trek up Church mountain, and for those who enjoy shopping and sight-seeing, there will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. Emphasis is placed «n the bus trip to Vancouver because tomorrow is the last Saturday before the ruling goes into effect that a certificate of citizenship will be necessary to get back into the United States. Leaving the Bellingham bus depot at 8:30 a. m., the bus will arrive at the Vancouver station at 10:30. Suggested points of interest within walking distance, such as Chinatown, linen shops, and places to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing "buses in "Vancouver"''leave' from the depot. Because there will be room for only thirty-six people, students were urged to sign the bulletin board early this week. Cost is $1.50 for round trip. But for those who are planning to climb to Kulshan cabin over the Fourth of July, the Church mountain trek is a requirement. The trail starts slightly above Glacier and goes onward and upward along a quiet forest path, and through acres of colorful flowers in an alpine meadow until one sits on top of the world with Mount Baker almost in his lap, according to Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation director. The party will meet on the campus in front of Edens hall at 7:00 a. m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch and a cup are required, plus stout walking shoes, sun glasses, and a light extra sweater. The deadline for signatures on the bulletin board is 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Cost of the trip is 75 cents. BOARD APPOINTS CARVER JOINT TRUSTEE Highlighting a short meeting of the Board of Control, Wednesday afternoon, was the appointment of Sam S.; Carver as joint trustee of school property with Dr. E. A. Bond. President Al Munkres, also acting as social chairman for the summer quarter, announced that the second rec hour of the quarter would be held in the training school gymnasium tonight. Jean Christopher was elected vice president of the board in lieu of Frances Daley, who did not enroll for summer school.

Registration Figure Total Over Eight Hundred Registration figures released by the registrar's office show the total enrollment of the college to be 819 for the first half of the summer session. There are 648 women students against a small proportion of men students numbering 171. Upper division students represent the major portion of the student body with approximately 80 per cent of the registration. Others are as follows: special students, 7 per cent; sophomores, 8 per cent; and freshmen, 5 per cent. Over 40 per cent of the enrollment is from Whatcom county. Other states and territories as well as British Columbia are represented. Northwest Aviators Start Flight Work Actual flight training in the civilian aviation class began Wednesday. Under the direction of Gordon Miller, flight operator, and Floyd Lampman, the recruits launched, their field work. Ground training started at the beginning of the summer session with Eldon Pollock, ex-army aviator, as the instructor. Twelve recruits, eleven men and one woman qualified under the strict government regulations to start the training under the Civil Aeronautics authority. Several recent additions have completed the list bringing the total enrollment to fifteen. As the list stands now, the members are, Francis Callihan, Arlene Dickinson, Alfred Dunn, Richard Fowler, Roy Franko, Steve Gierman, Jack Jensen, Aimer Peterson, Fred Pratt, Brian Robson, Ralph Simonds, Fred Weihe, Frank Lampman, Marvin Richards, and Francis Reynolds.

A worthwhile effort of President Haggard has been realized in bringing this meeting to WWC. We suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending as many of the sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get acquainted with the prominent educators of the Northwest. • AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in the fall are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action has been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required of students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed, it would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of college life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that he was a carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment can be had, but it would be much better to find out this information at an earlier time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge at a time when one is about to embark upon a professional career is rather a severe blow. • AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION as to whether the Collegian made itself'clear on its new policy of a more professional basis, we again extend our invitation to teachers and students to write for us about their problems and philosophies. What teaching problems did you solve during the last year? What ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read any good books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching of progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations in your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to new teacfiers entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you? • MAY WE ADD OUR CONGRATULATIONS to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for their last Sunday's edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is a noteworthy achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of Northwest Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was the history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a Collegian staff writer during the last year. • AFTER A YEAR OF CAMPAIGNING back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed from Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The sign now reads: Sehome Hill—Park! 'OurTown' Rocks New York Two seasons ago New York theater audiences went to jsee a show without scenery or properties and kept that show going for a year on Broadway. That production was "Our Town,' which is to be presented by the WWC division of drama for its summer quarter offering, July 11 and 12. In a city of theaters famed for elaborate production standards, this was an unusual event. The thing that held them was the simplicity and beauty of the story itself. Two young people talked to each other from their windows across the alley while the village choir rehearsed down the street and Dr. Gibbs, father of George, read the evening paper downstairs. Three different scenes at the same time would have been practically impos- AMtMCAN / / sible on a stage realistically set with real scenery and furnishings. This novel effect was achieved by having George and Emily on top of step-ladders with Dr. Gibbs at a table to the right of the stage and the choir in the orchestra pit. A daring, expressionistic departure from realism is shown in the third act when Emily, departing from this life in an untimely way, is laid to rest with her family. In the cemetery the dead of the little village sit passively and serenely in rows of chairs while the funeral procession wends its way into the cemetery. There is no attempt at tombstones or weeping willows, yet the audience feels the austerity and simplicity of death and life in rural America of 1904. Technique Classes Learn About Modern Curricula By Lela 'Kaufman Two groups of persons with teaching experience, the T. T. 192 class in curriculum construction in the elementary school and, T. T. 173 class in curriculum construction In the junior high school are working to learn some of the "whys" and hows" of modern curricula. The elementary group of 24 members with Miss Marjorie Dawson formulated certain definite understandings they hoped to attain, then divided into ..committees to work upon these topics. With a few thought - provoking questions raised by Miss Dawson, the class carries on enthusiastic discussion for part of the two-hour daily period. The remaining time is devoted to research work to see what is being done elsewhere. Nine members comprise the junior high group who meet with Miss Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual conferences, group discussions, reading, studying, and writing fill the two-hour period. Immediate access is thus secured to a large selection of books containing needed material. Each person works with his own particular problem and situation in mind. In both groups a brief historical background is furnished along with considerable study of modern curricula through the United States, such as the Winnetka movement. Some of the educators' catchwords —activity movement, progressive education, integration — are being invested with meaning. Emphasis is placed upon fitting the school to the child rather than the reverse. In short, the aim of both of these advanced classes is not to make a curriculum for some definite setting but to give a clearer idea of all curricular construction. HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO ROTARIANS With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley Rotarians entertained with an informal "ladies night" dinner in the city hall last night. Incoming Rotary club presidents and their wives from* Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett were present. l Newscasters Picked For Summer The Collegian radio studio was the scene of Intense activity last Thursday as some twenty-three students tried their hand at radio announcing. Students read script for over an hour in room 311 while Instructor Victor H. Hoppe and graduate student Leonard Newquist judged in the control room. The winners: Russell Jackson, Francelia Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg. Alternates chosen were Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker. Victors took the air Thursday evening for the first newscast of the summer season. The permanent rewrite staff was also announced this week. Members are: Irene fyhn, Reda Eaton, Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg, Betty Solibakke, Francelia Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite staff takes the stories off the galleys of the Collegian early Thursday morning and threshes them into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. Broadcasts are under the direction of Leonard Newquist and Bill Tiffany, with Dr. Jack Cotton of the speech department and Mrs. Ruth Burnet as faculty advisers. WHITHER TOMORROW By Lorain Montgomery The quotation, "As a man thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one that is still good and usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by working on his thought processes, because that is the thing that precedes the act of a man. That is the foundation for the truth of the quotation. Have you ever heard of any one doing something without thinking? I have. But that is because the thought processes for that particular act were built long, long ago. And did you ever try to change an act that is done without thinking? Where did you begin? You do not go about it in a superficial manner; you go back to the foundation where the act has its roots in the being—to the thought processes. We attempt to discover the original cause of an undesirable thoughtless actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause that is completely alien to the act itself. The cause may be some unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction through unusual channels. By satisfying the cause we may in time be able to substitute a desirable for an undesirable act and the habit is said to be broken. Frequently a habit remains long after the original cause has ceased to exist. •• The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being formed. When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is clear that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought processes of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and childhood is the most important period. Those who govern and direct this period of growth are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently, the thoughts of tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher of today, Merrill Likes Children By Lela Kaufman With cheeping Bantie chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill, kindergarten instructor for the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her avocation. "I'm afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children, but that's what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said. "I like to ride horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby but it is nearly impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer this westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and a graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the Falk demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast. "I have driven over most of California, and I love to come up here in the Pacific Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with my mother. Now we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely view and rose garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two enjoyable summers in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.

That's just what happened last Monday night when a group of our recreationalists were about to spend an evening of singing, salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a popular campfire site near South Bel-lihgh'am. The aforementioned Mr. S. Lion seems to have lost all sense of direction and planted himself on the sand. What we're getting at is . . . frankly, comrades, the stench was awful. . . . But that didn't stop proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr. Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed and all and carted it out to the college property at Lakewood where everyone feasted and sniffed sweet sniffs once more. • . Any of you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it well worth your while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the Dean of Mens office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting Miss Weythman with the college recreational activities this summer^ Many of you probably already know of him as a good skier, song leader, and former Viking football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which he prides himself the most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led numerous hiking parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with the trails of the Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure and what's more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber of Commerce for our great Northwest and We should be proud to say that "he is one of us." Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine that Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these years and win back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . . and if there are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around because we can SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference broad jump record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has the edge in the coming Intramural race with such softball experts as Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses, and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look for Rodland's outfit to be right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint McBeath, and Chuck Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program is the annual softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to be played in Seattle, Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for a return game later on. . . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll string along with Lippy Leo's Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have revived the lost art of "the old college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell you. . . . So long . . . '' Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian George setting the pace, approximately 106 avid mountaineers from WWC reached the top of Chuckanut ridge last Saturday. Leaving at 3:15 from the PE building, the party was at the top by 6:00 p. m., where they built a fire, prepared coffee, and ate their lunches, For dessert, they had a beautiful sunset, almost made to order, according to those who saw it. One group departed shortly after lunch, led down by Miss George. After sundown, the campfire was heaped high and set ablaze, and over ninety voices, led by Chet Ullin, were joined in singing new songs and having fun in general. Feature of the evening was the vocal efforts of three dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt to get an echo. Descent down the mountain was made by flashlight... and buglight, with a few brave souls sitting down and sliding on the steepest parts of the trail. Many photographs were taken—Mount Baker was especially clear—and the echo seems to be that the hike was a rousing success.

That both basketball and baseball will be played this summer in intramural sports was the decision made at a meeting of the sports enthusiasts of the college last Monday in the PE building. "* Softball games will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p. m. and basketball will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays at the same time. Doublehead-ers will be r un in both sports. Golf enthusiasts who have already entered their names as likely prospects for this summer's golf team are Clint McBeath, Bob Smith, Hardy, Tucker, and Erickson. The latter three were members of this year's WINKO champs. Anyone else interested in playing should see Sam Carver as soon as possible. Teams entered in basketball are Jim Bever's Midgets, Lapinski's Joe- Joes, Methany's Red Heads, Smith's GiantSy and Joe Moses' Moochers. Teams entered in softball are Mike Baker's Arabians, Rodland's Eskimos, Nurmi's Finns, and Weber's Turks. These teams are not . final and anyone wishing to play may see one of the captains and add his name to that team. WWC SOFTBALLERS MEET UNIVERSITY MONDAY Ancient summer rivals will square it off again, when a picked all-star WWC softball team meets the University of Washington Monday afternoon at Seattle. A return game will be held on t he home lot Friday, July 12. The WWC team will be picked from men signed for intramural games. Eleven men are expected to make the trip. No basketball schedule between the two schools has been arranged as yet. The court contests will probably be played during the second term. Enjoy the Summer.

Three things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting short trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton (Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of their beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days of fine skiing. Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew will hike in to the cabin to cut wood and prepare the place for the group. Thursday, July 4, the main party will leave the P. E. building at 7:00 a. m. in private cars, individuals bringing their own trail lunch for that day. They will reach the cabin Thursday evening. A pack train, led by Mr. Baker, an experienced packer from Colorado, will bring in food and personal dunnage. Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation leader, counsels hikers to limit their amount of dunnage, since each person will have to carry his own dunnage out. There are blankets and accomodations for fifty people at the cabin. Fisher Guides : The party will climb up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, under Fisher's guidance, which will give them practice in snow work in .both climbing up and sliding down, and will give Fisher an opportunity to study snow conditions on the mountain. Saturday morning, those making the summit climb will- breakfast early and leave the cabin by daylight, led by Fisher and assisted by Chet Ullin. Organized hikes to the glacier or through the meadows will be taken by those remaining at the cabin. A whopping breakfast will be served Sunday morning, with the whole party leaving the cabin about 11:00; for the return trip home. Haggard Signs First person to make an enthusiastic reservation for this trip was Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt; with Miss Weythman last May. Other faculty members who will be present include Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia Hawke, Herbert Ruckmick, Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman. Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00. People who enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in its highest beauty, campfire companionship, and good hiking are urged to' sign up.

Gay, who is currently managing editor of the Collegian, will edit the weekly paper beginning with next fall quarter. MildredSeelye was also appointed by the Board as business manager for next year. Seelye, who wasassistant business manager of the Collegian, was also appointed to this position for Spring quarter ofthis' year, to replace Loretta Olsen, who withdrew from school. Gay competed against two othercontestants for the position of editor. He is a'Korean vet who has been copy boy arid reporter on theTacoma News-Tribune, and sole reporter on a small paper which came out in Tacoma while the Tribune was on strike. He is Writer editor this quarter, has been co-sports editor and news editor of theCollegian, and was the editor of his high school paper. Because he is an accelerated student, Gaywill hold junior status at the end of fall quarter. Since none of the candidates met the requirements asstated in the Stylebook of the Collegian, they were waived in all cases and the Board's decision wasmade on qualifications for the job alone. Gay is married and expecting a tax deduction next fall.'Hecompeted with Colleen Sullivan and Jim Simon for the editor's position. Seelye is a second quarterfreshman and was assistant business manager and ad solicitor last quarter for the Collegian. Shewill-be married this summer and will return next fall while her future husband is in the service. Board Has Problem: To Cut Budget Despite High Prices Budget slashing is the current problem of variousdepartments of Western Washington College. Most departments are requesting more money'â€¢â€¢ for gt; the gt; 1953-54 school year as compared to 1952. The reason lies in the higher cost of living andthe, rise of prices. Original budget requests submitted to Mark Hardie, ASB president, have alreadybeen cut by the respective departments. However, more cutting is on the agenda. Members of thebudget committee and the! Board of Control met last night to study the tentative budget plan. The Boardof Control will meet to work on the budget at 4 p. m. next Thursday. Hardie said, "It is hoped the-Department of Directors will approve the budget when work on it is complete. We plan to have it ready by the end of spring quarter."

This has been due, chiefly, to the discovery by certaincongressional committees, that a few educators were proyen, or suspected to be, subversive now, orsubversive gt;t one time This has caused near panic on some, campuses in the. country. A case iseven oh record of one educator refusing an invitation of an organization which has been designated by thegovernment as definitely not subversive. r This could be construed as an indictment against education.That it is subversive? No! That it might be losing its intestinal fortitude! Since ancient Greece, educatorshave stood up f lt;fr what they believed. Socrates drank poison rather than recant his beliefs. We do notsay that it is good to have educatprs who might undermine our democratic system We do say, however,the students of Western Washington cpllege, many of whom will be educators, should resolve that fear will not intimidate us. The cradle of democracy and the custodian of free thought and speech in manycountries were the colleges and universities. In the middle ages educators had no guarantee that theycould say what they wished with impunity. By the panic evidenced of late this seems to be what someeducators believe should be the case.' ";' }. ;. But today, it is not his right, it is; not his privilege, it is theeducator's duty to give his views; to say what he thinks is right. In this way will he be serving his countrybest. Education must5 be dynamic. To be static is to retrogress. If educators hYde their candle ofthought under a basket, afraid someone might see a "color" in it, a great deal will be lost, for, aseducation progresses, so will the country.'..-, \ Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders" is acommon thought. But if these students are instructed by persons who are afraid~to lead, afraid to voice their convictions, what will their quality of leadership be?â€”D.

While sleepily crawling into ''the- old jalopy I could see the sun just coming up over the mountains;It. was -then that I began wondering how Homer had ever convinced me to get up so early for Campusday. Well, there was no use .thinking about it then ^-we were on our way to Whatcom Falls park. â€¢The Skit assembly wasn't sched-iried 'til at least after the sun had come up, but Homer said it would bebetter if we went straight to the park before everyone^ got there. So Spies skipped ' t b0 assembly to;get: out to. JheApa*k,Jfcef lt;jre reyerypne , else. (But I LDiErtne park when people are there.) , - .,:cArriving.- at, t h e ^ a r k we .found it absolutely .deserted, arid. ,, stayed -that \vay.,,for;ise;yera^;hqurssi Finally our friends began ...to .arrive. Coming in,,convertibles, Model. T's, and , onbicycles, they swarmed into the park. Sam and Al wer^ straggling 'wayv behind .the. rest, because jtheyhad decided, to ;W;alk L . ..; :- ^ The morning slipped by andT it was soon, time for lunch. Lunchâ€”everyone was famished! Like a swarm; of locusts t h e y devoured everything in sight. ' After lunch thegames began, starting naturally with the pie eating contest. "Uncle Harry" made his first appearancesince the day he broke his leg at the Homecoming game, and ate more pies than the entire' faculty.During the faculty-student tug-of^- war, Al and Sam finally arrived on the scene. Every one was soexcited to see them that the tug-of - war was completely forgotten. The crowd cheered the two fellowswho came straggling in. I was cheering especially because both played on our baseball team. At lastthe game started. Roger was first at bat. With power like that we easily won the game. Homer said that I was playing very well, but somebody hit the ball to me and things got all fouled up. It WAS unfair ofGeorge to hit it to meâ€” he KNOWS I can't catch. Ah! Campus day ended happily. The students andfaculty hopped into their cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and other means of transportation, and headedfor home. Sam and Al trudged wearily along Lake-way, and Homer and I pushed the eld buggy down thehill, got it started, and chugged noisily back, to Western. â€¢ WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN f ' H t '' gt;,.*". i[J {" i ?d ' ^ '*) " "Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate Press Entered assecond class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of Match 8, 1879. :": Printed; byCox Brothers,.

Cub Reporters: WinPearson, Marion Baldwin, Warren Coffelt. To the Editor: It has been manifested in the not distant past,that there is a weakness, m our government here at Western. The election, fiasco of last quarter isstill fresh in our minds and there are minor violations which go unheede'd by the student body in general. I have run across several of these. It is more than a possibility that myriads of them have gone pastwithout detection. The question that comes to the forefront isâ€”"Why?". It is a dynamic questionwhich demands a positive answer and not merely some "explaining away." Is it due to the ineptitude ofour elected representativesâ€” the Board of Control, the president, the vice president? It is my beliefthat we can contribute some of the guilt to' these representatives. They, are not impeccable. ButTfurther assert-that there is a greater weakness, than mere ineptitude on the part of these officers. Thoseof you familiar with government can see it clearly. We aspire to democratic govern^ ment, yet in ourgovernmental .organization here at Western we have branches of government equivalent to our national legislative and executive branches, but where is that third branch so essential to the balance of power and the continual function of a democratic government â€”the judicial branch? We have no such branch, yet the need is a crying need. A manifest need. The past is not a dead past and will not bury itself. Itwill project itself into the future. To obliterate the occurence of last quarter, and the many unheededviolations, I propose that we take into our hands the tools of state and build that branch we lackhereâ€”the judicial branch. For the sake of a continual functioning democratic government, therequired balance of power, and emulation of the state in which we live, serve, and are, I beseech you to join in a crusade for that missing wheel of governmentâ€”the judicial branch. Sincerely, GEORGE H.COLE. Perhaps the answer lies in the in-maturity of people who make that assumption. Sincerely,JEAN LANDAHL.

This new game was being demonstrated for the first time on- Western'scampus. The game originated in Seattle and several leagues are springing up for wisket players. It isplayed with a baseball and bat but there, the': similarity to the original diamond game ends. Instead ofgloves the fields; use long tennis-like contraptions or wiskets as they are called. The rules are totallydifferent also. The defensive team makes all the points. The whole team, 10 men, bat around and thedefensive-team scores points. A point is obtained when a base is touched 4n gt; front of the runner. Thegame is 'an entirely new idea originating in Seattle. Many main colleges are incorporati n g ^ ;mtheirtPE curriculum: ~~ * . . . - . .

Some, arrangements, may- be reached by having threeinnings :of-fastball played andâ€ž then three innings of baseball, or a coin could be fUpped to-see,what type-of game would be played.

Vikings to Face CPS Loggers^ Icies Over Week-end After playing an easy.schedule in games forseveral times, Western?; swings into a busy week..This afternoon Western takes on the CPS Log?- gers at Battersby field. Tomorrow; the Vikings travel to Seattle to ;meet the University of Washington. NextMonday a practice game will be played With Larson Air Force base. With, the season record justmediocre at best, WWC will be out.to -r-â€”â€”â€” â€” â€”â€”â€”â€”{-take some games to better the searson record. College of Puget Sound; aoes not have a very strong, team, this-year, although it is not apush over. It has played some good ball this season. In the previous meeting with CPS Western tookone close one and dropped another. Western's Vikings should pick up another win tomorrow when theytake on the UW. The University is weak this year, being near the bottom of the standing in its league.It has been beaten several times by teams that Western has beaten. In previous meetings this year,Western has nearly an even record with the Huskies. These two straight games will put a strain on Vik pitchers. It is probable that all chuckers will get a chance. Big Bob Hansen is ready to go again afterthe sore arm he picked up in a game a couple of weeks ago. Next Monday the hot flyers from Larson Air Force base, Moses Lake, invade the Vik's domain for two games. The boys from Larson always putout a good ball team which can give any college team a fight; After Western gets by the busy weekendschedule, it will settle down to a slower pace for the rest of the season. Western Drops Track MeeF To Savages Western Washington dropped its first important track meet to the Eastern WashingtonSavages last Saturday. The meet was held at Cheney on the EWC campus. The Savages racked up84% points to Western's 46% points. Big gun in the attack of EWC was Ron Chadwick who won a totalof five events in the meet. These events were the high jump, broad jump, javelin throw and both thehurdles. Western was a little off and.the main point getters were meeting very stiff competition. The winfor Eastern was its 33rd successive dual meet win. Ken Swalwell, Modris Pederson, and miler JerrySwan picked up a lot of Western's 46% points.

'Straight Line: r HilsRuliinct Although football seems to be far away, on the. little campus,of WWC, many of theJarger-colleges are now concerned with-spring lootball practice. An. extra worry: to -the -coaches now '-. is .the new- substitution rule. This rule makesit quite impossible to use the two platoon system. Viking.,football coach/ Chuck Lappenbusch, was asked- tov comment on. the new rule: and- how it wouldaffect small. colleges,, mainly Western. First he stated.that the small colleges with no springpractices will be handicapped by this new rule, making it necessary for players to *playi both* offenseand defense* He went on gt; to ^ say that underthe modern educational pbil*-* osophy players will have to learn all the offensive parts. This may require longer training tables f or longer -periods -of time.However,- Lappenbusch went on to say,. â€¢ small .colleges using t he Straight- Line defense philosophy will not be .bothered, by the. knowK edge factor and the physical condition must be drilled onpreviously by the- player on his own. Since knowledge and intelligence does not play the sameimportant'part as it did formerly;-the Straight Line teams will be.ready in a week-providingthephysicaliÂ«ondition^ isex-. cellent. Physical condition is not and win not be excellent which will slowdown the game under the new rales; According to Lappy, physical endurance in U.S. society isretrogressing because of the automobiles, the preservatives in, onr foods, ,aadÂ«th,e psychology, ofthe "easy-way-to-win" attitude. "If we are to continue to be the strongest of nations we must-work onimproving the whole human being in our schools andaiot just knowledge, and. intelligence which are now retarded' by circular^ confusion,'' he said. So here we have the views of a very authoritative person,Western's own athletic director, on.the effects and: results of the. new substitution rule. Out of all this itseems that Western -will not^be?bothered lt; lt;as much as some other small schools who do-not usethe Straight Line philosophy. | This week a boy with a very interesting background- was interviewed as sports personality. Modris (Pete) Peterson, Western's star track man; graduated from a Latvian highschool in Europe.. There was no track, at his high school so he ran for the local YMCA team. Therewere a junior and senior team and Pete took' several awards in the junior division. In the junior division he holds the hop, skip, and jump record, high hurdles record, and the 12 pound shot put record. Forwinning the high hurdles he was given an award which he holds aa one of his most prized possessions.He holds three unofficial Latvian records, 220 low hurdles, 220 high hurdles, and the 440 hurdles. Lastfall in Seattle he won a â€¢ cup In -the big northwest meet held therewith so many incidents in his life, Modris had a tough time pieking lt;the: top thrill â€¢ of his- life.: He finally, picked the time when hewon the low^hurdles in the Evergreen conference in 1951. Another of his big lt;- gest thrills came lastweek as Western broke the relay record for the school and won t h e cup.^ Western track will verydecidedly miss good natured Pete when he is graduated. He has been a mainstay on Western's trackand field team for several years. He has won three letters and already has enough points for his big "W"blanket. During his years in track Modris has run the low hurdles; 440 hurdles, 100'yard dash; 220 yarddash, 440 yard dash; broad jump, "and thrown the discus and. shot gt;put. His versatility in sportsshows he is a natural athlete. In his years here he has lost the 440 only twice and the low hurdles nnlythree times. This trait seems to run in the family.

In Protest It was announced-; by school officials that eight members on: the; staff of EWC's physical education department say they will resign if the athletic director i sretained. The action taken, is against W. B. Reese. All those involved delivered their Qualified letter ofresignation ta the college board of directors meeting held Saturday. At the same time an 84-pagereport having to do with Reese's standing as a student in the graduate school at Eastern waspresented to the board. J. Harold Anderson, .chairman of the board, declined to say if there wasany relation between the two events. - Nearly all the physical education department signed the letter of qualified- resignation. The letter gave no reason-for the action. Included among the faculty membersinvolved was Eastern's head football- coach Abe Poffenroth. Reese made no comment on the incident. / ".- ' â€” â€” O BUSY-SIGNAL The whole world loves a lover, We think they're all divine, But not whenwe discover One on our party linel --Catherine E. Berry.

It was stated that the second chance came after the card.playing had been removed a few months ago when the gameswere being used for' other than recreational purposes. Editor and business manager for the WWCollegian in 1953-54 were elected at the Board meeting. Dave* Gay and Mildred Seelye, respective' ly, were those so designated. (See story page one.) Since no candidates were eligible in the strict sense of theStyle book, the Board moved to waive the requirements in this case so that the positions could be filledfor next year. The letter to the editor appearing in last week's Collegian about book conditions in theStudents' Coop was given heated consideration. A committee composed of Bob Porter, CarolynCrook, Dick Stewart, Howard Critchfield, and one other Student Facilities committee member wasappointed to form policies concerning the ordering and buying back of books. The Board passed amotion to the effect that all Co-op and Lounge personnel who handled food were to be required to take aphysical examination in accordance with the State Board of Health regulations. .The expense forstudents involved will be borne by the Student Lounge fund. A note from Louis Earle, Lounge and Co-opmanager, was read thanking the Board for the ceramic ash try sent to him while he was ill. A requestwas received through the Music department to loan the white dinner jackets for a wedding. The Boardstated that it was not its policy to loan student property for private use. An additional $10 was added tothe $45 appropriated to the Evergreen conference trip to cover expenses, to come from theAdministration budget. It was found that the original $45 did not cover the entire costs. Coach ChuckLappenbusch requested that the Board give him the okay to try to get Willamette UniversitySeptember 26, 1953, for a football game with Western here. He stated that arrangements with UBC andothers would have to be made, but the Board approved the basic plan. Since the regular Board meetingwas scheduled for the afternoon of Campus day, the Board moved to postpone the meeting untilThursday at 4 p. m. Board members were also urged to attend the Budget meeting last night.EarlCompletes Naval School George S. Earl, Seattle, graduated from U. S. Naval school (OCS)Newport, Rhode Island, April 20.

We lay in clouded mood And sang of lofty trees without tops That upheld the edges ofthe sky. As the ponderous notes clamored forth We thumped our feet, and "They remind me of goats,",he said. The notes came bleating forth together As they scattered dotting white over the hill. "Mightygoats they are, pushing stones With their heads, pushing stones and, "^ Rolling mountains to, theedges of the world." We lay in silence and listened to the peaks Crashing in dark stillness. FacultyKeeps Contact Of First-year Tutors An effort on the.part of the faculty of Western Washington College to keep effective contact with all first year teachers is proving successful. The program started with theestablishment of the General Certificate pian in 1951-52. The visitation program became fully establishedin 1952- 53 when essentially all graduates began their teaching with the Provisional General Certificate. 4Â»-â€”-â€”â€” The visits made to t h e graduates of Western Washington college during fall andspring of. 1953 by faculty members had the following purposes: (1) To make possible a first-handstudy of the effectiveness of the teacher education program as reflected in the work of WWC graduates.(2) To stimulate graduates to make a study of their work during this year with, an eye to improvement. (3) To assist the provisional cer-: tificate people in effective planning of their fifth year of college workwhich needs to fee started, as a basis for renewal "of:vtheir provisional certificate. . lt;4) To maintain acontinuing rapport with graduates and assure them of Western's interest in their success and thedesire to be helpful when needed. (5) To maintain a continuing contact" with public schooladministrators and teachers and to assure them of the institution's interest in the success of publiceducation in the state.of Washington. Forty-five faculty members visited a total of 16(5. beginningteachers. However, a total of 476 persons were seen on the twenty-four trips made to sixteen counties.First year teachers are working in school buildings that run the gamut of possible conditions, according to a report just issued. Some are teaching in practically ideal situations, some in buildings that aredescribed as ordinary and average, and some are in buildings considered to be fire traps, barren, smelly, dirty and crowded. More places have inadequate materials than adequate housing. Most availableinstructional supplies are those classified as audio-visual aids. Least available are art materials, textbooks, music, and maps. The enrollment per room ranges from 18 to 52. Some kindergarten teachershave three shifts and as many as 83 children. At least 25 of the WWC teachers have split rooms orcombination grades. The management of children, how to handle delinquent children, and how to keepchildren quiet, were frequently mentioned by beginning teachers from first grade through junior highschool and in both rural and city schools. The use of the Parent-Teacher conference as a means ofreporting to parents was mentioned most often, but requests for help on the whole matter of parent-teacher relationships were listed. Cooperative principals and teachers were named by teachers asthe SHIRTS IN AT 9 OUT AT 4 Complete Laundry and Cleaning Service 205 Prospect Street Phone 66 or 67 chief source of their in-service assistance.

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 No. 17 Assembly Mr. Wright, superintendent of Lyn-den, visited the Normal last Friday and favored the students with an interesting address. His theme was "The Teacher," and the remarks made were of especial value to prospective teachers. "The three little letters, etc., may embody all the vital phases of a teacher's life, which make for or against her success," said Mr. Wright in discussing some of the essentials of the profession. He went on to explain that "e" might stand for enthusiasm, without which no teacher can be sue- Enrollment Now 1,599 o- The enrollment for the school year is as follows: Regular Normal, 1,060.

S. picked up only 5 of 32 points distributed, they won lasting honor by fair play and a clean game. It must be so, the Seniors said they did! Heard in Cooking Class. Miss D.: "Tell of one way to prepare salmon." Bright pupil (eagerly): "Roll it in sawdust and fry it." (Note—Was that answer due to association of ideas or high cost of living?) Why doesn't Miss Woodard like pickles and why does Miss Willoughby like them so well? Miss Willoughby: "Have some pickles." Miss Woodard: "No, thank you. You may have my share." (A customary reply.) Miss Willoughby: "I have." And she had. The Normal five was again victorious last Saturday night when they defeated an ex-Normal team from Vancouver in the local Gym. The final score was 68 to 25. Altho this is a onesided game the score would have been much larger had the local boys played true to form. At times the Normal players were inaccurate in their basket shooting, but outside of this one fault the game was fast, the guards doing some especially good work. For Vancouver, their center position seemed to be the strongest and best filled. The teams were slow in getting started, nearly five minutes having elapsed before either side scored. Normal shot the first basket and a moment later the score was evened up. However the Bellingham quintet played the steadier and the first half ended with a score of 26 to 15. The second half was a repetition of the first with Normal getting a larger score and holding their opponents to a smaller one. This period ended with, the local team on the long side of a 42 to 10 score. "Ali" Henne's again showed his ability by uncovering an unheard of band. They played a few selections between halves. The crowd joined in the merriment and altogether it was a rare treat. The members of the band were: Craushaw playing clarinet, Mathews, piccolo; Barnet, cornet; George Miller, snare drum; McKinnon, bass drum, and Frances Devery played the piano. The Normal team has now won four games and lost none. They will try to keep their record unbroken when they play Everett here tonight.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB Roll call at the last meetng of the Social Dem. club was answered with current events and the 10-minute regular parliamentary drill was devoted to "obtaining the floor and what precedes debate." M. Agnes Kirkman entertained with the reading of "He Worried About It" and Miss Gardner gave a short talk in answer to the question, "Would You RaJise Your Boy to Be a Soldier?" Messrs. Hawley, Hilda Rosen and Walter Lidell successfully upheld the affirmative in a debate, "Resolved, That Preparedness Does Not Tend to Peace," their opponents being Messrs. Hawley and King. Some rathed astounding arguments were produced pro and con, an obi ging audience being prepared "to swallow most any-thing." Harriet Thompson was elected as chairman of the program committee, after the resignation of Mrs. Esther Shepherd was accepted. A letter from Representative Tom Brown relating to the society's anti-military training resolution, was read and other routine business disposed of. A lively discussion of the soldiers' attitude toward war delayed adjournment beyond the regular hour, affording food for thot to participants and listeners as well. MISSION STUDY CLASS. 1.

Many are ready to verify our statement that it is really the best that the Association has to offer during the year. At our first meeting, Mrs. Colby sang for us, "Jesus Is Calling." The two women, who came from Seattle, were then introduced and after a short greeting from Mrs. Soltan, Mrs. Campbell took charge of the rest of the meeting. Her main thought presented was "Oh! that our eyes might be opened." This proved to be the keynote for the entire institute. The second and third meetings were held Friday afternoon at 3:20 and 4:10. Mrs. Campbell spoke at 3:20 bringing us her message, first emphasizing "Ye must be born again." Her lesson was taken from the story of the "Woman of Samaria" and Jesus' words "I am the living water" were so forcefully brought to us. At 4:10 Mrs. Soltan had the meeting and her message was the story of "Cain and Abel." Gladys Hamley sang. Friday evening at 7:30 both Mrs. Soltan and Mrs. Campbell spoke. There was special music, a solo by- Ruth Elander. Saturday afternoon was given over to Missions. Mrs. Soltan told such interesting stories about her own children in mission fields and Mrs. Campbell also spoke, showing how plainly God says "Go" but we do not obey. Miss Sands sang for us "He Will Hold Me Fast." We feel that Bible Institute has been a real help and inspiration. For those who could not attend we are inviting you noAv to come to our regular association meetings Thursday at 4:10. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 3 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 The Weekly Messeng-e-r Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

Among other things that came up for consideration before this meeting was the bill now before the state legislature to introduce military training into the public schools of Washington: The association went on record as opposed to this bill. This question of military training in the schools is one that should receive thoughtful consideration on the part of every citizen, and it is a question of special importance to us as teachers. Would military training as COMPETITORS may sell some things for less than YOUR store does, but YOUR STORE sells a lot of things for less than they do. Normal Book Store "Your own store." part of our school course be consistent with the aim of education as we see it? It is argued that the physical training obtained along with the training in military tactics would be worth while. Would the dual organization that Avould be necessary if the military department was to be directed by the government, be a help or a hindrance in the development of an efficient educational system? Let us think on these questions and be prepared to take an" intelligent interest in this movement, which is of such vital importance to our schools. A GOOD LOSER TAKES DEFEAT CHEERFULLY A good loser is one who takes his defeat as cheerfully as tho he were the winner. Such a one will buckle the armor on more securely, repair the defective parts, apply the oiled feather to the squeaking places and, with shoulders thrown back and head erect, resolve to "make good." In all the walks of life there are more losers than winners; with the former the scar may be indelible, yet the defeated one will conceal it or, at least, will not expose it. A certain teacher in this commonwealth says: "I never was a loser in the act of obtaining or retaining a position but what I took advantage of the opportunities offered and thus turned the apparent loss into a substantial gain. One illustration is quoted: At one place I was loser in that I failed to retain a position. Another position with a salary twenty per cent higher was secured and in the vicinity of the new position some land was purchased (just common dirt as is found on highways) which was disposed of at from 100 to 500 per cent profit. Those school district dads have received my sincere thanks for the benefits conferred upon me." Presidential Candidate Hughes, to all outward appearances proved himself to be a good loser in his loss in the race for the presidency. When he retired at 12:15 election night, he felt certain that he had won the prize which he sought; forty-eight hours later he found himself to be a loser instead of the winner. He congratulated his chief opponent for his success. That Mr. Hughes was disappointed, no one will deny; it was probably the greatest disappointment that he ever endured, yet his actions showed him to be a good loser. He thus set an example for people in all walks of life, from an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency to the unfortunate one in a game of marbles. WILLIAM BEARDSLEE.

More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny, And the hearty warm approval of a friend, For it gives to life a savor and it makes me stronger, braver, And it gives me heart and spirit to the end; If I earn your praise, bestow it; if you like me, let me know it, Let the words of true encouragement be said; Do not wait till life is over, and I'm underneath the clover, For I cannot read my tombstone when I'm dead. —St. Olen in "Magnificat."

In it, there were no carpets, nor easy chairs, nor luxuries; herbs lined the sides of the spare front parlor, and a poor dresser stood in the kitchen. From this kitchen dresser the widow ate her scant breakfasts, dinners and suppers, with an occasional egg, or, at most, two, to celebrate a holiday. These eggs were laid by Dame Bart-lett, spouse of King Chanticleer, who with him and her six daughters, roamed the widow's yard. Chanticleer went to sleep one night, and close to him slept his dame and Prices Moderate; Five course dinner every evening from 5 to 8 at 60c. Six course Sunday evening at 75c Banquets and Dinners gotten up on short notice. Tables may always be reserved by telephone. Hotel Leopold their six children. He had slept some time, when he groaned a groan and moaned a moan. "Get up! Wake up!" said Dame Partlett. "What ails you? What's the matter?" She shook him, for he was slow to waken. Chanticleer, with a deep sigh, drew himself up and Dame Partlett saw deep, dark hollows under his eyes, and saw a dejected forlornness in the face of her worse half. "I have had a dream," said he. "An uncouth shape, large and yet slender, came skulking toward me. I saw the creature had sharp eyes, perked ears, a long bushy tail, a slinky form and a sharp, pointed snout, withal." "You need a worm," said his practical wife. They went out of the house, side by side, hopping down the steps, and into the spring air. King Chanticleer said: "I feel better. I enjoy seeing the fresh green leaves of spring. The morning sunshine clears away the cold from my bones, but I still have a feeling that my dream is a warning." "Nonsense," said his wife. He answered: "I have known of many such things happening to people, after a dream like mine had warned them." His wife wanted to argue—she did. Then the chickens quoted a little Plato and they went in search of worms. As they scratched the mellow earth in search of its wriggley inhabitants, they were watched by a pair of sharp eyes which peered at them thru the rails of the fence. Far better that Chanticleer had stayed on his beam. The fox skulked in the corner till night. The chickens went to bed at sundown, as all nice chickens should. Then Chanticleer saw a slinking form come in the narrow doorway. He was very startled and nearly lost his equilibrium. He had never seen a fox. From instinct he shunned the pointed-nosed creature as a sailor shuns a rock. "Cluck, cluck," said he in a deep squawk. "Be not alarmed, beautiful bird," said the fox. "As I stood outside I heard a song, as of the angels. I did not intend to come but the song lured me on in spite of myself. It is no wonder you are a. good singer. Your father was also. I knew him intimately." The cock was pleased and accepted this flattery. "And now sing for me," said the fox. Chanticleer threw back his head, shut his eyes and flapped his wings. "Listen," he said; but the fox had him by the throat. His would-be song was changed to a throaty squawk, and the fox was gone, Chanticleer with him. Chanticleer's cries roused his spouse. Her cries roused the widow, and her cries the vicar and so on, till the whole village was in pursuit of the fox; people shouting, hounds baying, chickens crowing. A general bedlam ensued. The cock was frightened, but be-thot himself of a scheme. "Speak to them, Reynard," said he. "You are safe and the woods and your den are at hand. Tell them you are king and they are foolish to try to catch you." The fox obeyed, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than the cock was loose and had flown into a maple by the side of the road. The fox was very foxey and thot by soft words to again win over the cock. So, "Come down," said he. "Let us treat this matter peaceably. I only meant to take you over to my house for dinner. I should have been much pleased to have had you there. I only meant to frighten you a bit that you might enjoy the dinner the more. For 'Sweet is pleasure after pain,'" said he, quoting a little Dryden. "Nay," said the cock, "only idiots are fooled twice. We shall consider the peace movement, but I'll stay right here the while we consider it. We shall follow the policy of watchful waiting."

"Or, better still, Lieutenant, exterminate the lot." "I can hardly hold the men in check, sir." Aye, the brave lads! They are as anxious as you and I to get at the beasts." A hurry of British shells pour death into the German lines. A lull, then the khaki-clad troops clamber out of their positions in a mad charge. At the brink of the assaulted trenches the captain impales a German machine gunner on his sword. The impetus of the thrust throws him headlong into the trench, where, striking his head on the hard-trodden floor, the lies stunned. When the captain regains his senses he hears the groans and shrieks of the wounded. To this he pays little attention; many times before has he heard the aftermath of battle. As he looks eagerly about him he sees soldiers administering to the wounded and reconstructing the shattered trench, and as he recognized the men thus busily engaged as his own, across his face flashes a smile, grim and ex-hultant. However, a gasp directly at his feet attracts his attention. It is the dying struggle of the German soldier whom he has pierced with his sword. In the man's hand is a piece of paper. "Military secrets, perhaps," exclaims the captain, as he snatches it up. The paper written in German, is sploched with blood and dirt. He laboriously makes out the following: " your furlough. "Every evening I watch little Dora run to the corner to meet you, as she used to do when you would return from the factory.

HOW I BECAME A TEACHER (Continued from page i) I was one of those chidlren that all teachers know, precocious in book learning and childish socially. I was occustomed to being in a class of what seemed to me to be men and women. Late one afternoon, in the shadows of the empty halls, one of the boys, to my utter amazement, asked me to go to the next social with him. I loathed sociables. I gasped and said "yes," because, like Aunt Jemima, I didn't know what else to say. I spent the intervening days trying to forget the coming horror. In my mind I settled one thing. If I lived through this experience, I'd have my wits about me and never, never, never say "yes" again. The evening passed and, in my judgment, was an evening of superlative stupidity. When the boy, in the innocence of his heart, proposed enthusiastically that we go to the next sociable together, I was ready and replied sweetly that I didn't care to. Notwithstanding my inauspicious beginning in this uncatalogued department of college curriculum, I added to my college course and to my course in music a very comprehensive course in this department, with considerable very satisfactory post graduate work. I look back upon all three lines as being of great value to my professional career. I was very patriotic. One day I saw a squad of college boys going down to vote. The leader was one of my chums. He was just twenty-one and going to cast his first vote for president. They shouted and swung their hats with enthusiasm. It thrilled me as I witched them. I was a better student than he, could beat him in an argument and loved my country, but when I would be twenty-one I would not be allowed to vote. The thought gave me actual physical pain and it rankled until we won the vote here in Washington. The year after graduation I taught my first school—a little country school three miles from town. Things moved placidly and I could have had the school the next term if I had wanted it, but when I think of that term of work I am always tender hearted towards the poor teacher. I boarded at home during that term and mother took me to and from school in the carriage. On these drives we began definitely my study of bird songs. I had a chance for extraordinary work in nature study, due to my wonderful progressive mother. She had a genius for enjoying outdoor life. She made our home of five acres one of the first bird sanctuaries in the United States. Families of every bird of the prairie nested at Pinewood and we fed and protected them. In addition to the choice stock from the nursery we collected for these five acres every plant, shrub and tree possessing landscape value that we dis covered in our drives. There was always a spade under the buggy seat for emergencies. Then we also had a pond stocked with fish. We could pick up the young ones in our hands if we fed them. If you think there is nothing to see in such a place, watch a parent cat-fish taking care of its young in an overstocked pond! One of our family pleasures in the hot summer days was to drive to the river and have a sunrise breakfast, after which mother and father would fish, my sister would sketch and I would moon about under the trees, botanizing and writing. I had not once given up the plan to be a writer. When we moved to the new town I began teaching in the schools, but I always expected to quit teaching when I had made my success. I read, read, read and wrote. I should have turned it about. The summer I studied Darwin and Emerson was a landmark in my life. When I closed Darwin's "Origin of Species" I felt as though I had just been granted a glimpse into the workshop of God, while Emerson was a spiritual revelation to me. I taught with enthusiasm; poured all that I could of my outside studies. "Costly thy habits as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, or gaudy; For the apparel oft' proclaims the man." Shakespears advice is thoroly followed in these new ESJSSFT* Trimmed Spring Hats The simplicity of outline which dominates in the spring models, was seized upon as an opportunity to give individuality and distinction to them by means of rich materials. Trimmings are few, but suggestive of the Far East in color effects; bringing into prominence the hat fabrics as the back ground, and most prominent part of the hat. Silk floss embroidery, flowers, richly toned ribbons and a few metal effects constitute the trimmings; hats being covered with silk, satin, silk crepe, Milan and Milan hemp, priced $4.50 to $12. * J.

Phone 340 Bellingham - - - Washington music, drawing, literature, into my school work, but that was not my life work. I grew restless. I wanted to see the world. 1 wanted to go West, where they paid better salaries and life was worth while. The family could not understand how I could want to live in a dreary boarding house among strangers and teach in preference to living at home and teaching. And I couldn't tell why, either. I only knew that I did. It was the urge of individuality. It is like outgrowing one's clothes. We went to California for a winter, but that did not satisfy me. I wanted to work in the West. On our way home we spent a month in Washington, and stopped at Che-halis. Prof. Forrest was city superintendent of the Chehalis schools and he and his wife had been my schoolmates in college days. I accepted a position in this school and the family went home without me. The West suited me. I felt myself expanding mentally. Besides teaching, I accomplished my first little success in writing. But at the end of two years I yielded to the pleadings of my people and went back to a position in the old school in my home town. This little bit of success in writing taught me how long it was likely to be before I could make a living in that work. You see, my expectation had somewhat subsided since the days of the George Eliot dream. Then the teaching in the West had appealed to my ambition more than teaching in the East. I did not deliberately give up my dreams, but I temporized. I resolved that I Avould push for professional promotion until I had reached a definite salary, on which I thought one person could live, then I would be satisfied, •and take time to write again. It is very amusing how many people have made that same bargain with themselves. Advancement in work is easy enough in the East, but not in salary. From the first I fretted and grieved for the life on this Coast. I'm afraid I was not very gracious to the lonely home folk about again living in the prosaic East. Panicky financial condition at last pushed me into the freedom I fretted for. I came here seventeen years ago and most of the time have been "teaching algebra on the Pacific Coast," according to the despised, prophecy. When I reached the salary at which I had promised myself to go hack to my first love, and take up my dream again, I found myself captain of the-family ship and the limit was not enough. So at last I became in my own. dreams what I had long been to the-world, just a "school ma-am." And really, it isn't so bad, after alL IDA AGNES BAKER. Generally speaking, Merle Austine is— Is what?

It is the first salary increase in 18 months. Inaddition, the Legislature has appropriated nearly $1.9 million to bring Western salaries closer to salarylevels at Eastern Washington University. Those increases f probably will start in September, said Paul Ford, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The Legislature expects us to raise salaries tothat equal at Eastern. We have to figure out how much more money to give for raises in September,"Ford said. Gerson Miller, chairman of the faculty welfare and salary committee, said the committeehas recommended that the additional money be distributed on an equal basis on September 15.Faculty members at Eastern currently receive an average WESTERN FRONT Western WashingtonUniversity, Bellingham, Wash. Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Vol. 75, No. 35 salary of about $30,700, whileWestern's average salary is about $28,740, Ford said. "Even after the 7 percent increase in June, faculty still will receive about $1,500 a year less," he said. Milton Kreiger, head of the American F e d e r a t io n of Teachers at Western, said the across-the-board increase won't be fair to all staff members. "It ismy impression that the people at the higher levels will come out a lot better than people at the lowerlevels. The AFT will look at the salary schedule as a major issue next year," he said. The Juneincreases will be allocated several ways. About 317 faculty members will receive a step in payâ€”anaverage 3 percent increaseâ€”as well as a 4 percent cost-of-living increase. Sixty-four faculty membersalso qualify for a merit increase of 4 percent, bringing the total possible increases to 10 percent. Merit increases are awarded for service above and beyond that required for ordinary step increases and arebased on evaluations of teaching, scholarship and service. Eighty-seven faculty members will receiveonly the 4 percent cost-of-living increase because they didn't want to undergo a review for a salaryincrease, Ford said. Distribution of the $1.9 million will increase salaries by 4 to 6 percent more, Fordsaid. A plan for allocation of the money should be ready by the fall meeting of the trustees. WesternPresident G. Robert Ross said the increases apparently are the result of Western's arguments to theLegislature about the inequality of funding among state universities. Ross said, in a previous interview,that Western students and faculty had been shortchanged in state appropriated funds. Western'sstudent services and, physical plant operations didn't fare as well as faculty in thisyear's legislativesession, however, and will fall one million dollars short on money, Ford said. Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, is working on plans to reduce the effects of the cut, Ford said. Cost-saving idea wins top award By CAROLYN CASEY and VICKISIGGS Although she initially was. facedwith reluctance, Dorothea Kochajda waited six years to prove her method of floor care could saveWestern's maintenance staff both time and money. This month her persistance paid off, winning a$10,000 award for Western and reducing costs by nearly $80,000 a year. Kochajda, building servicessupervisor, developed a revolutionary natural-finish floor care technique that eliminates the need for the costly and dreary jobs of waxing, stripping and sealing Western's 80,000 square feet of resilient tileflooring. The mood of the management six years ago was in favor of staying with traditional floor care,which meant waxing, stripping and sealing of resilient floors, so Kochajda's suggestion was ignored, said Bob Hascall, physical plant director. Last year, when Hascall started work, Kochajda brought her floor technique to his attention, he said. "I was so intrigued by the concept that I wanted to start trying ithere immediately." Her method eliminates past floor care and replaces it with a three-part buffing andburnishing technique. A progression of stripping, scrubbing and buffing pads is used in conjunction witha 330-rpm buffer. Heat from the friction seals the floor surface, producing a hardened and highlypolished surface that never again needs a sealer or a wax to maintain its appearance, Hascall said.Kochajda said she sees this method as a morale booster for the custodians because they won't have tostrip floors again. "Stripping floors was our worst job," she said. Western President G. Robert Ross flew to New Orleans earlier this month to receive the $10,000 national award given by the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers and the United States Steel Foundation. "That's not the first idea that Dorothea has come up with for cost savings. Her contributions personally andtechnically have been very valuable to the university," Hascall said. Western's custodians beganusing the new technique last October, Hascall said. "The results were remarkable." He said the yearlysavings will be used to restore some services that were eliminated by budget cuts. The award moneyprobably will be used to start a fund rewarding Western's employees for innovative cost-savingtechniques, he said. Since Western won the award,, several universities expressed an interest inlearning the new technique. Kochajda went to the University of Washington to teach them themethod they now use on their floors. The process has been copyrighted by Western and furtherinquiries should go to the physical plant.

Peter Elich, formerpsychology department chairman, was selected from a pool of 11 candidates. He will assume theposition Friday. Tall and muscular, Elich looks as if he coaches football, which he did at BellinghamHigh School. "He is a highly regarded faculty member and statesman, who will provide strong leadershipfor the College of Arts and Sciences during this transitional period," said Executive Vice President and Provost James Talbot. Elich will serve as acting dean' for one year. The College of Arts andSciences has 22 departments and employs two-thirds of Western's faculty. It is the hub of theuniversity. "One year on the job is too short a time to show your performance," Elich said, "but thenthe School of Education, the School of Business and Economics and the School of Fine andPerforming Arts all have acting deans, too." He said he will make no changes in the college right away."Certainly no radical changes in the structure of the organization that might make things difficult for apermanent dean, although I must administer the College as though I were permanent." Elich said hesees his duties as dean are to provide effective management of financial resources, to participate indecisions for personnel, such as promotions and tenure, to provide leadership wherever possible, andmost important, to ensure that West- Marshy Elich named new heads of colleges Peter Elich, newlyappointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. era maintains a solid liberal arts core. "Theleast appealing part of administration to me is the clerical work. Nevertheless, it is a highly importantaspect of administering. The part I like best is working with people as a facilitator â€” creatingconditions so(' that people can develop their competency," Elich explained. Elich will replace JamesDavis,, who announced in April his. resignation as dean after nine years at the post. This fall Davis willinstruct political science. Elich has been at Western since â€¢ 1961 and was first named chairman ofWestern's psychology department in 1972. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, earned a master's degree from Western in 1959 and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon in1961. Before West-em, he taught at Whatcom Junior High School and Bellingham High School. He is anative of Bellingham.

He willreplace William Gregory, who has accepted a Ful-bright award to teach and conduct research at the National Institute of the Arts in Taipei, Taiwan. The appointment, effective Sept. 1, was announced byJames Talbot, Western's executive vice president and provost. "David Marsh is a veteranadministratorwho demonstrated g success while serving as art iS department chairman in the Q 1970s,"Talbot said. "He is a well S known artist with a national and c international reputation." is Marsh joinedWestern's art Â£ faculty in 1957 after teaching in ja-junior and senior high schools in o Washington andCalifornia. He jÂ§ served as an art department i (X chairman from 1966 to 1974 and again during the1980-81 academic year. Marsh said he plans to continue work toward one of Gregory's majorgoalsâ€”better communications between the three departments of the college: art, music andtheater/dance. A number of measures already have been adopted to strengthen interdepartmentalrelations, including the formation of a faculty advisory committee composed of five members from thethree departments, more frequent executive committee meetings and quarterly faculty meetings,he said. Marsh said he is enthusiastic about the future of the college, which currently has 500 to 600majors and 36 full-time faculty members. He said he thinks a trend toward an interest in the arts isbeginning, noting this is traditionally the pattern after a concentrated interest in the sciences.Gregory said although the college's growth has been curtailed because of the limited number offaculty, its graduates are in demand and job placement has been excellent. More than 90 percent ofmusic education majors have been placed. Art and theater/dance graduates also have fared well andGregory expressed surprise at the high percentage of these graduates who are now employed intheir major field or a related area. Both Marsh and Gregory said they are pleased with Western's newbudget. Although individual departmental budgets have yet to be decided, Marsh said he thinks that, with the overall budget set for the next two years by the Legislature, some sensible planning can takeplace. "This is the most stability we've had since the early '70s," he said. Marsh predicted that his newduties will restrict his time to produce art. Marsh's watercolors and other works have been exhibitednationwide and are in a number of public and private collections, including those of WestminsterCollege in Fulton, Missouri and the Instituto Mexicano-Norte Americano in Guadalajara, Mexico. Marshhas a bachelor's degree from Central Washington State College and a master's degree from theUniversity of Oregon. Bookstore remodelling next week By DAN RAMSAY The Student CooperativeBookstore is getting a facelift this summer and the confusing lines and inefficient use of space will soonbe things of the past.

In addition to the new lights and carpets, the Post Office will be relocated to thearea that is now the entrance and the entrance will be moved to the front-center of the building. Also,mechanical improvements and the installation of floor and ceiling tiles will be part of the remodel, Elliot said. The cost of the project was estimated to be about $300,000 before the bidding was opened onMarch 21. Much to the suprise of Elliott and the Associated Students, who had approved thespending, all seven bids submitted were below that amount.

Earlier this month, the CPE approved the program that has been in planningstages since 1980. Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said if the board accepts the plan, the graduate program will be offered winter quarter. - The graduate program would offer a master of science degree inenvironmental science to anyone with a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences and an interest in theenvironment, Mayer said. He said the master's program is "the most exciting development in Huxleysince it began in 1968." Mayer said the program is the first of its kind in the state. Although graduateprograms in environmental science are offered by other institutions in this region, the Huxley program isunparalleled. Students will have a choice of three areas of concentration: wildlife toxicology, ecosystemprocesses and environmental chemistry, a cooperative program between Huxley and Western'schemistry department. Each student must take a minimum of 45 credits, including a thesis. No othercollege or university in Washington offers a specialized graduate program emphasizing research inthe areas of Huxley's concentration. Mayer said the research students do for their thesis will linkHuxley and Western with environmental problem-solving in the region. Students will research problems such as acid rain, water-quality, the toxic effect of pesticides and development around LakeWhatcom. By conducting environmental research in our community, Mayer said he hopes to attractexternal funding from the state and federal governments, industry, private businesses7 andfoundations. Huxley's program also differs from other graduate programs in the region by requiringstudents to develop their own plan of study. Students work individually with an adviser to plan a course of study to meet their goals. Although Huxley has received about 250 letters asking about a master'sprogram, Mayer said he expects only about 12 students to enroll the first quarter and that eventuallyenrollment may be limited to 25. Alumni's parents give Western $75,000 land By DAN RAMSAYProperty vallued at approximately $75,000 was donated to Western by a Vancouver, Washington couplewhose son is a Western graduate. George and Sara Holzman donated the property, which is to be sold,with the proceeds from the sale used to maintain, improve and further Western's academic programs andactivities with special attention to biology, chemistry and their related fields. Their son, ThomasHolzman, graduated from Western in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He went on toearn a Ph.D. in biochemistry and has just completed post-doctoral studies at Texas A M University. Hecurrently is employed by the Upjohn Corporation. George Holzman retired from Shell Oil Company in1980 after managing Shell's Anacortes refinery for about a year. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and wasgeneral manager of all Shell refineries during the 1970s. The property is located in Anacortes and divided into eight lots, Sara Holzman said, from her home in Vancouver last Friday. "It's not waterfront property," she said, "It's primarily a rock with beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies and the Guemes Channel." She explained that her husband dealt with Western on different occasions and he felt that theproceeds from this land would help the school. Since their son was a graduate of Western, theyespecially hoped to help the areas he studied in. "This very generous gift by the Holzmans will provide acontinuing benefit to Western and its present and future students," said Western President G. RobertRoss.

North American Indian photos now on display By DON HUDDLESTON Acollection of rare photographs by Edward S. Curtis is currently on display in the Viking UnionGallery. The photographs are from the original portfolios of Curtis' 20- volume work, "The North Ameri;(can Indian". ' Curtis, who thought the American Indian was a vanishing race, began recording allavailable information about Indian culture in 1896. He estimated the project would take ten years. Afterten years, the enormous undertaking was not only unfinished, but Cur-itis had run out of money. Thelegendary J. Pierpont Morgan stepped in and financed the iremainder of Curtis' research. By 1930 theproject was completed. Curtis had studied more than 80 tribes and taken more than 40,000 pictures.The 20-volume set collected dust for 40 years after it was published. In 1971, the Pierpont Librarypresented a major exhibition pf Curtis' work. Curtis, who died in 1952 at age 84, was finallyrecognized. Nearly all of Curtis' exposures were made on glass or copper plates. The portfolios wereprinted on a special Japanese vellum, a fine parchment made of animal skin, and are in surprisinglygood condition. The Curtis exhibit is taken from the collection of Louis Flury and Company's Edward S.Curtis Gallery in Seattle.

TheLegislature's recent injection of $1.9 million into the pocketbooks of Western's faculty will bring Westernone step closer to its goal of achieving parity with Eastern Washington University. More importantlyperhaps, faculty members will receive long-awaited raises. Administrators, faculty members and students who have spent long hours in Olympia convincing budget-weary lawmakers that Western deserves atleast equal funding among the regional universities now have seen their efforts pay off. The additionalmoney specially earmarked for Western's faculty is the direct result of Western's pitch to legislatorsabout the inequality of funding among state universities. Meanwhile, beleagured faculty memberssubsisting on salaries rapidly losing the race with inflation now have salaries that are â€” gasp, puff â€”lessening the distance. Not only do the salary boosts offer financial support, but moral and practicalencouragement as well. Legislators have recognized Western's unequal financial status by backing whatis any university's most vital resource: its faculty members. On the practical side, additional money willenable Western to attract exceptional instructors to its classrooms, as well as retain the outstandingmembers of Western's faculty. The salary increases are a good sign. At least we know that someonedown there is listening to someone u p h e r e . . . . In the meantime, however, this might be a good timefor students to ask their professors for a loan Get those cards and letters in Western's summerquarter hosts attendees from all levels of education, from freshmen through graduate students to teaching professionals come back for a few more credits of brushing up and fleshing out. Summer quarter, withabout one-third the enrollment of a traditional academic quarter, could perhaps be compared to a seminar class with the possibilities of discussion and close interaction enhanced by the smaller numbers ofstudents. A potentially valuable forum for ideas â€” easily accessible and widely read â€” is the Frontletters column.

Guest commentaries are welcomed.Graphic by Robin Henley Beyond hearse curtain The boy's parents had mixed feelings about the hearse. Norman, the boy's father, knew his youngest son was prone to take on outrageous endeavors, andhoped Brian's obsession with the rather conspicuous vehicle would fade like the rest of his childhoodprojects. A scarring childhood experience involving a \ grandmother and a hearse caused the boy'sstepmother to be a bit wary of the 15-foot automobile parked behind her home. Both parents agreedthe coffin containing the skeleton of the old Indian woman had to go. The back porch was no place tostore a body, they said, and the car's former passenger was left to fend . for herself at the local haunted house. It wasn't that Brian was obsessed with death; on the contrary, he looked upon thepermanent sleep with great amusement, and treated the subject accordingly. Girls reluctant toenter the "deathmobile" were reminded that they eventually would take their last ride in one anyway.People who would marvel at the notoriety of the car and question the sanity of the driver , would beacknowledged with a Gordon Weeks Editor shrug and "it gets me around." But the car wasn't meant to t r a n s p o r t chicken-hearted females or gawky passersby. The , hearse was purchased from aHalloween haunted house to amuse Brian and his friends, and if gas was in the mammoth tank,everyone from the-girl at the McDonald's drive-in window to the local baseball team would be theirvictims. The sight of a black-curtained funeral car has strange effects on people. Most conjure images of Herman Munster or Edgar Allen Poe; a youngster, figuring this rare-looking automobile was of someimportance, saluted it. Death is the Great Unknown, and everyone wants to know what has lurked (or islurking) in the back-end of the over-sized Cadillac. But a hearse is nothing but a hollow symbol of death,a post-mortality formality. It doesn't matter to most whether the car is empty or not â€” to symbol-conscious Americans, the black car represents nothing but the Big Sleep and other nasty things. Briangets a kick out of watching others becoming disjointed by his flippant attitude toward a vehicle theybelieve should be treated solemnly. Other people try to raise reactions from folks by flashing emblemsthat bring rise to other feelings. The swastika, one of the ultimate signs of evil, is bound to producesome response. The cross, a symbol of both suffering and salvation, is another rouser. Some animalshave gained connotations, including the dove (peace), the owl (knowledge), the raven (evil) and thealligator (wealth, when applied to clothing). Even colors symbolize moods and imagery: white is pure,red fiery and pink fey. So what does all this have to do with a boy and his hearse? The black car, thesymbol of death, carries lighting equipment, the making of illumination. But no one thinks, or dares, tolook beyond the curtains. Words muddle intent The halls of academia, the filings of a governmentbureaucracy, two friends in a coffee shop â€” ail use the same raw resource: words. Language is oneof the elements that turned man from a monkey with a big head into a hairless ape with small teeth.Language has been a powerful friend; yet it is capricious enough to cause great friction, too. "I mean,you know, like . . ." How many times have you heard that and mentally slapped the speaker? Afundamental and.useful skill, communication is a great responsibility. Words can be fun andeducational. They can start wars, and, ' generally, end them. Words put men on the moon and a tigerin your tank. Words can hide as well as inform. How many times do you get an illuminating flash ofTruth, but bust caps trying to get the . basics across to your neighbor? We've taken it a long way, but.basically language is hideously inefficient. You gotta make the Shaun McClurken Opinion Editor bestof what you've got. Really clever operatives can use language's shortcomings to their advantage,directing perceptions as they choose: In a simpler time, the Department of Defense was known as theDepartment of War; the nuclear industry made friends last decade by devising phrases such as"energetic disassembly" to soften the impace of such cruel realities as explosions in power plants.Guard yourself. Political, commercial and religious tracts in particular are given to verbiage with highemotional reflex and shadowy definition. Here's a sample list of words to always distrust if clarification is not forthcoming: â€¢ rights, peace, free â€¢ it, them â€¢ liberal/conservative, left/right â€¢ religion â€¢relationship â€¢ any word ending in -ism, -ize, -ist; any word or phrase originating in California or agovernment organization. Twisted people can come up with twisted speech patterns: Ron Ziegler,President Nixon's press secretary, admitted at a press conference the administration had lied at anearlier press conference with "Our previous statements are now inoperative," and President Reagan,whose administration has raised not saying what you mean to dizzying new heights, has dubbed theMX intercontinental ballistic missile â€” by design the world's deadliest weapon â€” the"Peacekeeper." He wants you to know what he wants you to think. On a more mundane, day-today level, two phrases to beware this summer are: â€¢ "Now Only (dollar amount)" â€¢ "Plus Co-hit (movietitle)." ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 5 ---------- â€¢ Western Front 5 Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Senate bill passes; tech expansion due After years ofencouragement by the state Legisla- ~ ture, Western's technology department has plans to expand thisfall by offering classes in north Seattle. Clyde Hackler, coordinator of the new program, said he isreasonably confident the program will consist of three upper-division technology courses per quarter. Theclasses may be taught at Shoreline Community College because it has the equipment needed foradvanced machine-tool technology. This class, and other upper-division courses applicable to industrialtechnology degrees, currently are not available to students in Seattle. Since 1969, the Legislature hasbeen interested in expanding technology programs at all of the state's regional universities, Hackler said.In a 1979 state Senate resolution, legislators became more interested by stating that the threeuniversities had to extend their technology programs to previously unserved areas, he said. CentralWashington University was the first to comply with the resolution after it developed an in-house funding in 1982. Classes were offered in the Tri-Cities through Central's technology department. Western, however, had problems finding resources to offer the courses. Now, due to the recently passed Senate Bill3155, funding is available to all regional universities. The funds will go primarily toward paying instructors' salaries, Hackler said. Students will be charged an extra fee to pay for classroom rental and equipmentcosts, in addition to regular tuition. Instructors probably will be chosen from the Seattle area inindustry- government and education. Hackler, who recently stepped down as Western's technologydepartment chairman, will work part-time as the coordinator of the new program and will instruct part-time on Western's Bellingham campus.

As we shared our individual riding preferences, the sky, through the tiny tavern windows, became grayer. "I think it's going to sprinkle. Oh, well," victor Madrazo, 32, said. Like the third, member of ourhappenstance riding trio, Robert Ashworth, 28, victor still was game. But the weather would shorten theride for us. Funny, in Bellingham, a lot of bike rides get sprinkled on. Oh, well. We decided to take inthe forest scenery and bayside views on Chuckanut Drive Besides being beautiful, it's only a fifteen-minute dash to Tony's Coffee House (compensation for a likely drenching) from Larabee State Park,the midpoint on our 12-mile roundtrip. As we sipped our beers, Robert suggested we ride on theInterurban Trail, which parallels Chuckanut Drive, instead of taking the roadway. "Why not the road?"Icountered. "There's a lot of crummy corners on Chuckanut. It's a lot safer on the trail," Robert explained. Victor nodded appreciatively. Five minutes after leaving the tavern, we took our first break at the lookoutabove Boulevard Park. On the dock, below us, several teenagers were fishing. Half a dozen bicycles,and a dozen people dotted the grass fields. A soupy mist made the bay look sensuous. It's no wonderthat some folks never bike further than Boulevard Park, I thought. As we continued on Boulevard to Fair-, haven, staying within the stripped bike! lajne, I asked Robert what kind of bicycling-experiences he hadhad. "A few weeks ago I rode on 1-5 to Peace Arch Park (20 miles north) and I really enjoyed it. There'sall that shoulder just for me/like on Boulevard," Robert said. I asked victor the same question. "I just ridearound town," he answered. Robert, appearing ponderous, energized the mobile conversation. "I'm kindof philosophical about bicycling. I look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoy it. and Iwaited at the top and sucked oranges. I scanned the vegetation around us for a place to throw theorange peels and recognized the familiar Chuckanut vegetation: alders and maples, an occasionalevergreen, lots of huge ferns, and a glacial boulder, blanketed with thick, bright green moss and babyferns. My peripheral vision spotted something I hadn't expected. A horse dung. It was fresh."HorsedungTlsaidtoRgbert. TVr^BrTaqJ^m/oSop^ look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoyit. And I get lots of exercise." And I get a lot of exercise," Robert explained. We passed up a stop at the Fairhaven district, but couldn't resist the rose garden at Fairhaven Park, which marks the beginningof Chuckanut Drive. A few hundred feet south, at the playfield, 50 persons were watching a softball game, despite the constant rain. Rain? What rain? A few hundred yards past the park is the biggest hill weencountered. Patrick Vala, in The Whatcom County Bike Book, describes the hill as moderatelydifficult, an elevation gain of 150 feet over a few. hundred yards. "Oh, that monster hill," Victor mumbled. A brisk downhill run led us to the turnoff for the Interurban Trail, California Street, a hundred feet past theChuckanut Store. The California Street hill is less than a hundred feet long, but also is very steep., victor walked his bike up the hill; Robert. "I see horses here sometimes. But mostly joggers. I don't mind that," Robert said, meaning the defecation. "It's just the dogs. They chase me. There's a few houses along the trail. The first leg of the trail was a sharp downslope. I discovered one disadvantage of bicycling on thetrail: loose gravel can throw a bicyclist if he's not careful. My companions recognized this, too. We rodeslowly, but the pace seemed to match the calm, solemn mood of the forest. Along the trail weencountered two fairytale waterfalls and several large sandstone cliffs, revealing glacial folding typical of Chuckanut rock. After an hour we stopped a mile short of Larabee Park, where we were to drop toChuckanut Drive, victor and I were ready to head back It was beginning to rain even harder. Robertreminded us of the promised views of Chuckanut Bay and the San Juan Islands.; We back-tracked, riding twice as fast as we came. Gravel flew from our tires. Damn Gravel. It would be more fun on a bicycle-motocross or mountain bike, though. It took only fifteen minutes to return to California Street. Robert ledus back to the Chuckanut Store and then veered right, a few yards past the store, onto Old SamishRoad. The final leg of the journey, the final leg before the warm coffee at Tony's, began on the south sideof the road, just past the intersection. The trailhead was a tiered, muddy set of switchbacks. We walkedour bikes up. At the top, Robert pointed out a large concrete slab that jutted from the natural landscape. "The Interurban Trail used to be the old railway. It went through to Seattle," Robert explained. The finalmile or so of the trip was different than the previous section. The path was narrower and cut throughovergrown fields dotted with apple trees (at this writing the apples were a few inches across). Weraced past the wet fields until we reached Valley Parkway where it meets 24th Street. As we began tonegotiate traffic, on the way to Tony's, Robert's mood became more somber. Those cars were intrudingagain. At Tony's the thought of crisp apples, which would be ripe early this year, floated in and out of my mind, as I sipped coffee. Images of the mist over the bay and the foothills, green forest and waterfallsand a snapshot image of dew condensed on a maple leaf all decorated my imagination. Then, Iremembered, it hadn't been raining for some time. Somewhere between California Street and Tony's ithad stopped raining and no one had bothered to mention it. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 7 ---------- Western Front 7 Tuesday, June 28,1983 m The Stratton family already knew the wine-producingpotential of the land when they began growing grapes in the Nobksack Valley.

"The area has had a long history of having good ground," horticulturistJim Hildt said. "Al Stratton grew up in Everson, and he knew of the land since he was a kid. It wasalready under our noses." In 1978, Albert Stratton, following a 24-year stint as a military surgeon,began planting his vineyards with early-ripening grape varieties that would later become the first harvestof the Mount Baker Vinevards in the fall of 1982. The company's 20 acres will yield two to eight tons ofgrapes per acre, or 320 to 1,250 gallons of juice. "It's unusual for all the grapes to be grown by thewinery," Mary Taylor, assistant business manager, said. "We like to experiment with a lot of differentwines. Most people use tried-and-true methods, but not these guys." Stratum's interest in wine-makingbegan with the gift of a home winemaking kit from his family. For seven years, Stratton was thewinemaker for the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Unit of Washington StateUniversity at Mount Vernon. He perfected his winemaking skills and became aware of the commercial potential of many unusual grape varieties from England, France, Austria and Hungary. WhatcomCounty has the same latitude as the wine regions of Germany and the Champagne areas of France.. An average of 210 frost-free k days each year is part of the 1 key to the abundant grape production. Yet the climate varies enough for the grapes , one mile west of the winery to 1 ripen a week before the crop infront of the company; the fruit will not grow two miles to the east. The harvest begins in late August andearly September. The grapes are crushed in small basket presses, the juice flows into work tanks,which â€¢ can hold up to three tons of grapes. The juice then is poured into large stainless steel tanks,yeasts are added and the fermentation process begins. The winery uses both From humble beginningsto grand endings. Grapes ripen in the misty sunlight of the Nooksack Valley. This crop won't be ready until September, but in the meantime, a visitor enjoys the fruits of previous harvests. champagneyeasts and a "Davis" yeast that was developed at the University of California. As the yeast bodiesfeast upon the sugar of the grapes, alcohol is produced as a by-product. The steel tanks, the largest2,365 gallons, are full from October to December. The wine is bottled through the winter months. thewine in stainless steel tanks rather than wood, Taylor said. "Wood is a pain in the ass," she said."Every time you move the wine, you have to clean the barrels. We just use wood for the aging process." Oak chips are added to the wine to impart the flavor that traditionally is acquired from oak barrels. Andas one tourist suggested, that's what makes the wine "oak-k." The Mount Baker Vineyards, just 11miles east of Bel-lingham on Mount Baker Highway, is housed in a one-story structure, which serves as a warehouse, production room, bottling room and a tasting area. "It's a small outfit, and we make thebest use of space that we can," Taylor said. The majority of work done on the design and construe-^tion of the 5,000 square foot 5 winery was accomplished by Hildt and the Stratton family. The winery has a 20,000 gallon production capability and currently produces 13,500 gallons of wine. The MountBaker Vineyards specialize in white wines and currently employs 20 different kinds of grapes, althoughthe company is experimenting with 40 varities. Six varietal wines are availa-, ble for sale, ranging fromdry dinner wines such as the Okanogan Riesling at $6.50 a bottle to the winery's own "Crystal Rain"selections at $3.00. They also offer fruit wines made from apples ($3.25) and cherry plums ($4.25).Although the wine is availa- . ble in Whatcom County stores, it is distributed more widely in Seattle.Mount Baker wine is served in Spokane and as far south as Tacoma. Visitors in the tasting room areadvised first to examine the clarity and brilliance of the wine and aerate it by swirling the glass.Patrons then are asked to "stick (their) noses in the glass and take a strong whiff...half of the taste issensed through the nose," Taylor said. The wine then is' sipped to coat the entire tongue and visitors are told to breathe back through their noses to capture the full flavor of the wine. Hildt said he doesn't seeany other wineries popping up in Whatcom County in the hear future. "Everyone will be watching us fora while," he said. "We're a pretty unique organization, and it takes a lot of commitment to takesomething like this on; there's a lot of time and money involved." And what do the neighbors think about having a winery in the area? "It's fun for them," Hildt said. "In a few days we're going to have a largegarage sale, and all the neighbors will come along and drink some wine. "We intend to keep it a smallfamily winery."
