CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER NOVEMBER, 1905 THE B. S. N. S.-FROM 1891 TO 1905 THE first definite step taken toward the establishment of a state normal school at Bellingham, or rather Whatcom as it was then called, was the introduction by the Hon. Michael Anderson of a bill providing for its establishment. The bill provided simply that the school be located somewhere in Whatcom county and that a commission of three men be appointed to select a suitable location. The land finally selected by the commission, consisting of Gov. John H. McGraw, Geo. E. Atkinson, and W. H. Bateman, was a tract located on the northwesterly side of Sehome hill between the cities of Fairhaven and Whatcom. The donators of this land were the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Fairhaven Land Co., and the heirs of the Lysle estate. Gov. McGraw vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. The first money appropriated was $40,000 by the legislature of 1895 for the erection of the original building. The first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins of Fairhaven and Hon. R. C. Higginson and Hon. J. J. Edens of Whatcom. A third appropriation, that of 1897, suffered the fate of the first, a veto, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,- 500 for equipment and maintenance of school. With this money the campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes and many other necessary items furnished. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The first faculty was installed in the spring of 1899. There were six members, three of whom, Dr. E. T. Mathes, Mr. John T. Forrest and Mr. F. W. Eply, are still doing good work for the institution. The other members of that first faculty were Miss Jane Connell, Miss Avadana Millet and Miss Sarah Rogers. Circulars of information were distributed throughout the western part of the state and the informal opening exercises were conducted September 6, 1899. The opening address was made by Judge Jere Neterer, president of the board of trustees. Mayor Hardin, of Whatcom, and Mayor Clark, of Fairhaven, also spoke. The enrollment the first day amounted to 160 young people. And it is interesting to note that all classes and all courses were included in the daily program made out for the first year's work. At the end of the first month the number of students had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more members to the faculty. Miss Ida Baker, Miss Catharine Montgomery and Robert B. Vail were chosen. Of these, Miss Baker and Miss Montgomery still remain. The first year's graduating class numbered eight young ladies;.graduates from the elementary course receiving five-year certificates were sixteen in number. During the summer of 1900, the citizens of Bellingham Bay provided funds enough to finish five more rooms and to add three members to the faculty. Miss Tromanhauser succeeded Miss Rogers as supervisor of the training school. The senior class of 1901 contained 29 members, the corps of practice teachers about 50. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $93,800 for the building of an annex and the maintenance of the school for two years. The school year beginning September, 1901, found the school with a faculty of fifteen members, a much larger number of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger students, the annex built, the laboratories enlarged, the library improved, the museum arranged, etc. Since then the work of the institution has advanced steadily. Each summer new improvements in the grounds and equipments have been made. The library at the present time contains 8,000 volumes and the museum 5,000 specimens. The building has furnished 72 rooms, which include a large auditorium, 3 laboratories, a well furnished gymnasium, fitted with hot, cold and shower baths and dressing rooms, a society hall, a Y. W. C. A. room, library, museum, office, faculty reception room, professional library and work room, manual training rooms, lunch hall, recitation rooms, and cloak rooms. The average annual attendance for the first six years was 303. For the past two summers mid-year sessions have been held and regular work offered. The legislature appropriated in 1903, $83,- 000, $9,000 of which was used for the completion of the annex. The appropriation for 1905 was $80,000. The most important recent improvement was the building of the new dining hall. The old dining hall was moved to a site south of the annex and more than doubled in size. It now contains a large public parlor, a private parlor, and three living rooms on the first floor, in addition to the dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The second and third floors have been devoted to sleeping rooms, bath rooms and a large trunk room. A furnished laundry occupies the basement. Each of the sleeping rooms is provided with steam heat, electric light, table, chairs, bed lounge, pillows, dresser, rug and window shades. Other furnishings are provided by the occupants of the rooms. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger The boarding department of the dining hall is conducted upon the club plan, and all regular boarders will be given a voice in the management of the club. The lecture courses provided by the Normal have become a feature of the literary life of the school and have been well patronized by the citizens of Bellingham. The cost of the lecture course tickets is nominal. The lecture course includes each year historical, scientific and ethical subjects. The year 1905 has opened very auspiciously for the school. The faculty, originally six in number, are now nineteen. Dr. Mathes has consented to remain with the institution for the number of years for which he was recently re-elected. Mr. H. G. Lull has succeeded Miss Tromanhauser as supervisor of the training school. Miss Sperry, Miss Miller, Miss Gray and Mrs. Smith are also new teachers. In every department the work is being carried on vigorously and thoroughly. The rapid progress of the school may well be considered remarkable, but several conditions have combined to make it possible. Among these should be mentioned the need which was felt in the western part of the state for a normal school, and the harmony which has always existed between legislature and trustees, trustees and faculty, faculty and students, and, last but not least, the kindly support given by the people of the state. "06." A POEM The fabled muses are again loose on earth and have been haunting the halls of our "Majestic Normal,"1 as the following eulogistic- elegy or elegystic-eulogy would indicate. The author, although not an expert in "feet" and "metre," has the true poetic spirit and is un-erring in his (?) choice of lofty themes. Oh, what is so rare as Dr. Jack ? There are dozens of girls upon his track, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 And his modest cheek turns a dainty red Whenever he hears a woman's tread; For he knows that Cupid with his darts Is searching for tender and manly hearts. So his maiden heart beats high with fear When assembly hour is drawing near. With trembling limbs he mounts the stage, This martyr of the Schlolastic Age! And the kindly curtain shields his face From a hundred women's brazen gaze. Was man e'er known to suffer so? Cans't 'magazine a heavier load of woe Upon a mortal here below ? It may ne'er be sung, and may ne'er be said, The burthen of this kinky head. But when this modest man is dead And all his eulogies are said, I pray thee come and drop a tear Upon his sweet, untimely bier; And read these words— There lieth here one whom the world too rudely pressed, A man with all the charms possessed But his sweet young life was worn away, And his sunny curls turned an early grey, Because the unfeeling world would look At his charming face. So the sweet flower drooped 'neath the scorching Sun And Dr. Jack's short race was run. SIRIUS SOCIETY NOTES AIMS OF OUR SOCIETY As we are beginning a new year and many of us are new to the work of the S. L. S., it is fitting that we discuss briefly the ends toward which we, as a unit and as individuals, are working. It should be remembered that first and foremost, we call ourselves a literary society. Let us then be in fact a literary society, our object being to raise literary ideals of our members by teaching appreciation of, and by encouraging the production of literary gems. (?) Do not smile, kind reader, diamond cutting takes time and who will say what talent is to be found within the Sirius Literary Society ? There is hardly one of us but what feels, constantly, an inability to express thought in a clear, concise, logical sequence. Our so- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ciety, by giving drill in debating, impromptu speaking, etc., tries to help its members to a more complete mastery of their mother tongue. This is a result well worth striving for, for upon our ability to use language depends, in a large measure, our growth, peda-gogically speaking. The culture of a nation is measured by the flexibility of its language, that is, by its power to express subtle shades of meaning. As individuals we may rest assured that our culture will be measured by the same standard. In close connection with fluency of speech we find fluency of voice. How much may be expressed by one sound uttered in varying tones. Tone lends color, life, soul, to spoken words. Histrionic ability is sought for and encouraged in recitations, essays, etc. We all know that "music hath charms" and we seek them. Many of our members are familiar with the masters, and those of us who are not, attend Miss Moore's classes. Just a word as to the social side. It pervades the entire work, making a unit of many minds working harmoniously towards the same end. As one, we enjoy our Friday sessions. Officers of the Sirius Literary Society: President Miss Nellie Thompson Vice-President Miss May Sloan Secretary Miss Helen Miller Treasurer Mr. Chas. Jones Sargeant-at-arms Miss Selma Glineburg The first meeting in the year 1905-06 of the Sirius Literary Society was held September 29. The program was short but very interesting. Miss Walda Wall recited in her usual interesting way; a piano solo by Miss Allen was well received. Miss Ellis and Miss Lewis rendered an instrumental duet with the skill we always expeet from them. An impromptu debate on the subject, Resolved: That coeducation be abolished, was decided in favor ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 of the negative, for which we girls aredevotly thankful, the opinions of the boys to the contrary not-with-standing. We really hope that we will not have a bad influence upon the young men of the institution. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY The Clionian society this year numbers about one hundred and twenty-five members, of whom fifty-five are new students, whom we are glad to welcome. The society is planning to do some strong work this winter, though as yet there have been no carefully prepared programs, owing to the lack of time and the election of a new program committee. The officers of the society for the first quarter are as follows: President Miss Judith Hawes Vice-President Miss Lena Smith Secretary Miss Isabelle Holt Treasurer Mr. R. A. Moore Sargeant-at-Arms Miss Minnie Osberg Reporter Miss Mildred Wilson Pianist Miss Floy Sullivan Program Committee Miss Whitaker, Chairman, Miss Pearl Perine, Miss Frankie Sullivan, Miss Tressie Flesher, Miss Minnie LeSourd. THE YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB At a special meeting of a few members of last year's Debating Club, it was decided to carry on the work of the club. As only a few members had returned to school an invitation was extended to all the new young men to become members. A few accepted the invitation and signed the constitution. This increased the membership to sixteen of the most active young men in school. At the same special meeting the following officers were elected for a term of one month: Mr. Nichols, president; Mr. Cory, vice-president; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Mr. Scanell, secretary; Messrs. Smith, Tibbies and Anderson, program committee, and Mr. Montgomery, sargeant-at-arms. The first regular meeting was held the following Thursday and a good program was rendered. As the purpose of the club is to cultivate ease and freedom in speaking, debates and impromptus are always given a prominent place on the program. To make the programs more interesting and for the sake of variety, essays, descriptions, invectives, orations, dialogues, declamations and songs are often given. Up to the present time all who have taken part in the program have shown a commendable spirit and if this spirit and activity is kept up we hope soon to be recognized as the third society of the school. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of about six hundred student societies in this country affiliated with the national movement. It aims to unite all the young women of the school in mutual helpfulness as they strive to follow the teachings of the Master. By this Christian fellowship it aims to foster and promote the spiritual life of the student body. Through the training in Christian work which the association offers, through the summer conferences and through the help and inspiration received from the visits of the student secretaries and its weekly devotional meetings, it helps to send out of the school Christian women whose lives shall be a vital force working for all that is deepest and best in life. The Young Women's Christian Association is not a substitute for the obligation one owes to the church of her choice, but joins more closely one class of people of all sects or no sect who have the same interests and the same problems and the same temptations as they seek to put into practice the teachings of Christ. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 The Y. W. C. A. desires to be of real service in the school in the way of helping new students and in being ready at all times to lend a hand. It is just because we students are so crowded with science and history, mathematics and language, methods, practice, physical culture and society; because we are removed from the restraints of home and thrown upon our own resources; because we are strangers in the churches, that we need this closer bond to keep our spiritual life apace with the intellectual—to keep both well poised, to make them steady in purpose and to give beauty of character. Because the Y. W. C. A. has come to fill this place in college life, it has won the devotion of thousands of the best students in the land. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. this year are: President, Minnie Carver; Vice-President, Ethel Cook; Secretary, Walborg Olson; Treasurer, Minnie LeSourd. ATHLETICS Rickety! Zippity! Rickety! Zap! The Athletic Season is on Now that the necessary red tape of organization is over, work has begun in earnest. The Association officers for the season are: President, Sarah L. Van Reypen; vice-president, Ray Montgomery; secretary and treasurer, Belle Holt; athletic editor, Nellie Appleby. Interest at present is centered upon the winter sports of basket ball and foot ball, but until now little has been accomplished in either line. Foot ball seems to be hampered, as various other Normal affairs often are, by a scarcity of young men; but it is to be hoped the ability and faithful practice evidenced are not to be wasted through unlucky circumstances. On account of the heavy study program, the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Seniors will not be able to take as active a part as usual in the basket ball of this semester, but expect to enter the contest for the Kline cup. Miss Mildred Wilson has been chosen as manager of'06 team. The Junior class teams have been organized and are practicing regularly. Manager Frances Coburn expects to have a good team as there are strong players from several well known High School teams to re-iuforce last year's line-up. The present line-up is: Forwards—Miss Johnson, Miss Pillman, Miss Goldthwaite, Miss Crocker, Miss O'Farrel. Guards—Miss Perkins, Miss Coleman, Miss Appleby, Miss Moyer, Miss Corbet. Centers—Miss Stanley, Miss Sloan. With the two upper class teams and those being organized in the lower classes, an interesting contest for the "Kline Cup" is expected. Until the teams are selected and have had some practice no schedule can be arranged between the various managers, but the degree of class spirit now in evidence foreshadows an eager contest. SENIORS The present Senior class will, without doubt, be the "banner" graduating class of the Bel-lingham Normal, for we already have a membership of 47 and there are still others planning to enter next semester, which will probably swell our numbers to over half a hundred. Soon after school opened the class met and elected the following officers: President Jessie Scott Cowing Secretary Lena Smith Treasurer : Georgie Ellis Associate Editor Luella N. C. Whitaker Basket Ball Manager Mildred Wilson Our Senior class have caught the true Bel- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 linghara spirit and although they cannot do much toward the subsidy plan or the electric sign on Sehome hill, yet they can unite their efforts to advertise the town, and that is what they are planning to do. They have designed and will soon place on the market a fine lot of novel Bellingham hat pins. These pins will be just the thing to send to eastern friends for Christmas gifts, for they will represent beauty, utility and best of all—your city. As soon as the order can be filled you will find them for sale by every enterprising, home-loving merchant of the city who carries that line of goods at all. First come, first served. THE CRY OF THE SENIORS Little we ask for our wants are few, Our one great want is now well known Just one very plain little boy will do— A boy we can call our own.—Snap. COME EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH Old gold, old gold, old gold Or new gold if you will, Old gold, old gold, old gold Old gold is our color still.—Snip. Miss Fogg is developing the word rear in the primary department of the training school—used it in several sentences. Firmly believing that she had performed her duty, she said: "Johnnieyou may use the word rear in a sentence." Johnnie replied—"I have a rear." Oh this is the trial of the Juniors In mourning they wish to be, Are they mourning in black for the white Man Or in white for the heathen Chinee? Now this is a puzzel for teachers To find out what the Juniors be, Can weclass them in with the white Man Or in with the yellow Chinee.—Snip. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger THE SENIOR RECEPTION One of the most pleasant and successful student affairs that has been given since the founding of the institution, was the reception given by the Senior class on Friday evening, October 6. The society hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and made a most attractive and home-like reception room. Two interesting corners were the Japanese corner and the Indian corner. A table full of curios brought by Miss Horner from the Hawaiian Islands and some photographs loaned by Dr. Mathes were of interest to all. The guests of the class, about two hundred and fifty in number, were received at the head of the stairs by the reception committee. Many students and friends of the school were present, but over half the faculty were conspicuous by their absence. Music, rendered by different members of the class, made a pleasant undercurrent to conversation throughout the evening. The program was unique and pleasing, consisting of the following numbers. Solo Miss Frankie Sullivan Pantomime..Miss Krausse, Miss Van Reypen Tableau A Modern Romeo Miss Flesher, Miss Graham, Miss Van Reypen Tableau The Three Stages Miss Glineburg and Miss Peek Miss Krausse and Miss Van Reypen made the hit of the evening in their Pantomime, The Modern Romeo was so true to life that it made the girls homesick. To appropriate music, selected, arranged, and played by Miss Geogie Ellis, Miss Glineburg moved through the three stages in a bachelor's life, "Single Blessedness" as he dreams over his paper, "Less Blessed" as he vainly attempts to sew on a button and "Blessed Indeed" when a little wife keeps him company in the evening. Fruit punch and wafers were served by ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 members of the class in the Y. W. C. A. room. The punch table, strewn with ivy and nasturtiums, stood under a canopy of old gold bunting twined with ivy. The Y. W. C. A. room was decorated in old gold bunting and golden maple leaves. THIRD YEARS Hi-ho-mine! Hi-ho-mine! Bellingham Normal 1909, Along the line They can't outshine The skookum class 1909. President Walter Nichols Vice-President Dorothy Jennings Secretary and Treasurer Ethel Cook Sargeant-at-arms Herman Smith ||: Brek-a-ke-kex, Quax! Quax! :|| Third Year. ALUMNI A member of our staff visited the Skagit County Teachers' Institute last week and recognized among the assembly the following ex-students and alumni: Julia Argus, Alice Kellogg, Evelyn Kirkpatrick, Loretta 0'- Laughlin, Elsie Ware, Helen and Edna Whitney, Gertrude Bigelow, Edith Austin, Myrl Hays, Edith Trafton, Grace Dickey, Josie Little, Lottie Graham, Burton Doran and Mabel Steen. It is the work of such teachers as the above that causes the superintendent and principals of Skagit county to look to our Normal school to supply them with assistants. Institute week brought many familiar faces back among us. Several alumni were seen wandering through the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Mary McBride, '01, and Miss Hattie Pratt, '02, visited the primary department of the training school during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, is a senior at the U. of W. this year. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Miss Elsie E. Ware, one of our elementaries of '04, is teaching another 9 months term of school at LaConner. Miss Ware is one of Skagit county's most successful teachers and ranks high in her chosen field of labor. Miss Mary E. Patric of the class of '03 visited the Normal last week. Miss Patric is first primary teacher at Monroe this year, while other members of the same faculty are Alice Carmen, '03, Bessie J. Lloyd and Annie Noble. They have a fine basket ball team at Monroe composed wholly of teachers. Sometimes when we look over the names and recall the familiar faces of the Alumni we cannot keep the following little stanza from chasing through and through our mind: All are scatted now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when we ask with throbs of pain Oh, when shall we all meet again ? The ancient timepiece makes reply, "never." Although first half of the second line seems almost an "ad absurdum" when thought of in connection with normal girls, yet injustice we must say that it sometimes does happen, for example Miss Ida Pillman, '03, became Mrs. W. E. Townsend last June and is now living at South Bend, Indiana; and Miss Anna Risley, an elementary of '04, gave up a promising career as a pedagog to unite her interests and fortune with that of Dr. Geo. Boyd, a brilliant young physician of Palouse. Others have "scattered and fled" to the following places: Jessie Jamieson, '05, teaching at East Sound; Florence Sears, '04, teacher at Snohomish; Jessie Lawrence, '02, german and mathematics in Snohomish high school; Lucy Vestal, '03, and Eva Comegy, '02, grade work in Snohomish; Ethel Hunt, '03, teaching in high school at Colfax, Wash.; Gertrude Streator, '02, student atU.of W.; Lillian Burke, '05, teaching at Snohomish; Emma Gruber, '03, is at her home in Winlock—not ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 teaching; Emma Dubuque, elementary of '02, wielding the birch and chalk at Snohomish; Edith York, fourth and fifth grades at Wallace; Effie Rear, '03, Granite Falls; Helen Collins, fifth grade a t Kirkland; Bess Darland, '04, Custer; Mrs. Anna Temple, '03, first primary at Chehalis; Gertrude Smith, '03, Everett; Myrtle Alexander, teaching near Snohomish; Ruby Smith at Downs, Lincoln county; Cassie Gifford, '05, a t Robe; Ethel Everett, '04, Custer; and Myrl Hays, '05, is guiding the intellectual development of the seventh grade at Sedro-Woolley. JUNIORS PRAYER Give us of your poise, O Seniors ! Give us of your knowledge, also, Of your power of penetration,— Of your power to see through us. We, as little lambs, will follow Up the path if you will guide us, To the summit of the mountain Known to men as "Hill of Knowledge." We are young, our footsteps shakey, We are weak, our hearts are quakey. You are like the sun above us,— Like the shining orb of heaven To point out and light our pathway Up the Mount of Understanding, To the goal of Normal Wisdom, By your loving grace, O guide us ! JOKES 1. Frequently heard in Junior roll call— "Miss McClure, er-rather, Mr. McClure?" Because there are no boys in the Senior class is no reason to doubt that the Juniors have three. 2. Oh!

We are justly proud of our paper, not for itself alone, but because it stands as a representatives of one of the foremost Normal schools in the northwest. We extend congratulations to every one who has been instrumental in raising and maintaining the standard now prevailing in both school and paper. It is our intention this year to publish eight numbers of the NORMAL MESSENGER, beginning with this—our first issue. We gratefully appreciate the support given us, through our advertisers — for them we bespeak your patronage—without their support we could not publish a monthly paper.

Oh, poet grand, well hast thou said, J s "rush in where angels fear to tread." When reading these pages keep in mind the fact that we are but amateurs and offer your criticisms as you would if you were in the other fellow's place. LOCALS In the early part of July Miss Rose Wilson, who did substitute work in the English department last year, was married to Mr. Clarence Heuson, vice-principal of a New Orleans school. The jroung couple toured the southern states and are now at home in New Orleans. Let the watch word of each old and each new student be,—Do your best. During the teachers' institute week many old faces were welcomed to our school. Miss Van Reypen went to Seattle to see Ben Hur; while there she paid a visit to the University. The old students who know one of our former teachers, Mrs. C. N. Chaplin, nee Miss M. U. Myers, will be pleased to know that a baby boy came to gladden their home in September. The hearty congratulation of the students are extended, and best wishes for the health, wealth and happiness to the heir. Ben Phelps and Gordon March, Normal boys of the last year, students of the University at present, came up to attend the Senior reception. Miss Ada Hogle and Miss Lena Dodd took a pedimotor trip to Lake Padden one Sunday. The "fierce Kabibonokka issued his lodge of snow-drifts" and made us an unbidden visit one day last week. Everyone but the Cherry Seniors seemed chilled by his icy presence, but nothing short of a "midnight minstrel" can phase a Senior. Miss Edna France went to Seattle to see Ben Hur. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

The collection, considered to be the largest and most varied of its kind ever assembled, wasmade avails able through the efforts of J. Mogensen, Danish Vice Consul in San Francisco, Arthur Trace To Lecture Here Dr. Arthur S. Trace, author of "What Ivan Knows That Johnny Doesn't", will give acomplimentary lecture at Western Washington State College Monday based on the content of hisbook. Arthur Trace Trace's book, published last year, compares text materials in reading, literature,foreign lan-jguages, history and geography Jin the Soviet Union and the s United States. His lecture isset for 8:15 p. m. in the college auditorium. He will follow it up at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday by appearing on apanel to discuss reading content and comprehension in the two nations. in who had the works flownin from Denmark and asr sembled them in the collection. The exhibit is titled "Danish Daily Life InGraphics." and includes works in advertising posters and poster stamps (miniature posters used asletterheads and letter seals), advertising mobiles, displays, greeting cards, and wrapping paper. Thereare also posters made of reproductions of works by artists such as Klee, Chagall, Michaux andothers. In a letter Mogensen said that since the showing, about ten years ago, of 130 Danish,posters inseveral large American cities, "graphic art has stepped modestly aside, and repeated successfulexhibits in the U. S. of Danish furniture, silver and textiles may have left the art-interested Americanpublic with the false impression that our graphic design and industry is on a lower level than our otherarts and crafts, or even worse: not worth showing." "The Danish Lithographers Guild and the DanishConsulate General in San Francisco are deeply grateful to the Graphic Arts Department at Western forhaving given them the opportunity to dispel that misapprehension at least in a certain measure,"Mogensen said. The 200 works are designed to give the viewer an idea of the artistic quality, humor and vitality of graphic art in Denmark today. On discovering that the collection was being assembled,the San Francisco Museum asked that they be allowed to put it on permanent display. The exhibitwill be here throughout the summer session. Financial Aids Along with the many new departmentsand new official functions being established for the next year, one has been set up that should providethe student with a well-organized and efficient, method, pÂ£ getting money;. William Hatch, agraduate fro,m Western with many years of counseling and advising behind him, has been . installedas the: new.Finjmqiai; Aids Officer. Hatch graduated. from Western .in 1943, ^[ith; a, major, inppuhseiing.:and.guidance. 'He received his M.A. ,from;,GJarÂ«mont College in,-; California;. Afterteaching for sevei^u. , :yearsr in jjijaipr and ^senior l\igh schools in California, he moved to Everett,Wash. Prior -to coming to Western, Hatch was head of counseling at Mountlake Terrace High Schoolnorth of Seattle. The complex system of loaning money will be moved behind WWSC To HostGraphic Arts Educators Noted authorities in the field of Graphic Arts, educators, printers, editorsâ€”allwill come together Sunday to begin the week-long conference of the International Graphic Arts EducationAssociation. Over 300 members of the lt; IGAEA are expected to attend, making this the largestconference in its 37-year history. Representatives from 28 states; two territories, four countries, and27 colleges and universities will be attending the conference, held for only the second time on the WestCoast. Santa Barbara hosted the graphic artists five years ago. There are several reasons, accordingto Dr. Ray Schwalm, head of Western's Graphic Arts Department and chairman of the conference, whyWestern was successful in drawing the largest conference attendance yet recorded. The main reason, Schwalm feels, is the number of noted speakers to appear on the program. Major speakers on theprogram include Faber Birren, color consultant; David White-fprd, .vice president of. Wniteford PaperCompany of New York; Stephen Baker, creative designer; : and Richard Coyne, art director andeditor. , Birren, who has published 16 books on color and who is considered to be the world'sauthority on color, will present one of the major lectures of the conference at 8:15 p. m. Tuesday inthe auditorium as part of the summer Concert-Lecture series. Birren studied at the Univers i ty ofChicago "and the Chicago Art Institute. He has been a professional color consultant since 1934-. Histalk Tuesday is titled, "The Relation of Color to Form and Function." The major speakers will appearin seminars and discussions throughout the week. In Wrestling this door, just a few steps away fromthe main entrance of Old M.

You possiblydon't recall that on July 27. 1958. the thermometer hit a record 102 degrees, the hottest, everrecorded by William S. Perry, official U*. S. Weather Observer. During a three-day stretch lastyear, July 11. 12 and 13. the mercury hovered at 95, 99 and 93 degrees. With Monday of this weeklisted as the warmest day of the year so far, the temperature hit 87. Sunday was second warmestwith 85 degrees recorded, and Tuesday was a comfortable 84. Summer isn't over, we hope. There havebeen no 90 degree temperatures yet to give Perry's thermometer a workout. Swedish Film, 'Brink OfLife/ Last In Series Sweden provides the setting for the dramatic film, "Brink of Life," the last of thesummer Foreign Film series, at 7:30 p. m. Sunday in this auditorium. The film, directed by IngmarBergman, portrays the story of three women awaiting the births of their children in a hospital maternityward One, an intellectual looking forward to her child to save her crumbling marriage, loses it ih amiscarriage. Another, an unmarried adolescent, has already tried an unsuccessful aborcion. Thethird, presented as the essence of maternal womanhood, loses her child in protracted labor â€” ascene that won actress Eva Dahl-beck the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The second feature on the program will present three films starring Charlie Chaplin. All four of the majorspeakers, along with members of Western's faculty, will appear in a symposium at 7:00 p. m.Wednesday in the Auditorium-Music Building to discuss the "Impact of Color and MotivationalResearch on Graphic Arts Products and the Consumer." Included as speakers in the symposium areDr. Graham Collier and Dr. Herbert Taylor of Western's faculty. Dr. Ralph Thompson is the symposium leader. Other events on the program include the, Thursday night banquet and dance. President Jar-rett will be the. main speaker at the banquet. By NIGEL ADAMS Although Wrestling Work shop's areold hat to one of the nation's greatest wrestling coaches, the session starting Monday is another first forDr. Bill Tomaras. Tomaras is known for the initiating of the wrestling- program at WSU and for the final development phase of the program at USC Since joining the faculty at Western last fall and enteringthe school's first team into competition, Western's physical education importance has been, on theupswing. Tomaras held a brief session for high school coaches last winter when about 30 men from the state ranks showed up for some pointers. This session for a week starts on Monday at S a_ra. andruns till 4:30 p.m. The important thing about the course is its practicality.

Dr. Snedeker willleave at the end of the nine-week session to take up the duties as president of New Mexico WesternCollege in Silver City, New Mexico. "The past year has been a vigorous and challenging one," Dr.Snedeker said. "I have enjoyed the intellectual atmosphere of Western and have particularly enjoyedworking with President Jarrett whom I consider one of the great educators of our time." In regards to thefuture of Western and some of the things he foresees in it, Dr. Snedeker said that we are "definitely onthe growing edge of a new era." "Western has a sufficiently diverse . faculty representing varyingphilosophies to continue to be a source for bold new practices," he said. He said that he has alwaysconsidered Western as one of the best teacher education colleges in the country. "I sense here atWestern a dedication to teacher education that! is well above the average," he said. Turning to anotheraspect of Western's growth, Dr. Snedeker said that the development of the arts and science curriculumshould be "high priority items in Western's expansion." He added that he hopes the social sciences willnot be neglected because of increasing work in the lab sciences. j "The fact that when the ex- 1Continued on page 3) Seafair Tops World's Fair Fun BOB'S DRIVE-IN IS HAVING ANOTHERSEATTLE'S THIRTEENTH SEAFAIR FESTIVAL will be staged this year against a backdrop of aspectacular Space Age World's Fair.

Being the epitome of the "generalpublic," an uninitiate, and a rank novice, I though I had long ago given up my bold and brash forays. intothe art realm. But I was very much impressed with the display, even though none of it had been arranged and much yet unpacked, arid I had better say something now, before it all gets said. Much of thedisplay deals with advertising â€” posters, mobiles, poster stamps, displays â€” and since advertising isaimed at the "general public," I am safe in talking about its effect on me, and I need say nothing aboutcolor, design, etc., of which I know nothing. I suppose I am no different than all of us in that I, too,succumb to the advice and, often, commands of the ad man's messages. But I am offended (as we allmust be) to think that many of our nation's advertisers seem to think that I have no taste, no sense ofhumor, and little intelligence. The venerable prophets of Madison Ave. seem to think that they needonly to slap me with bold colors, catchy slogans, and sexy girls, and I will rush out and spend, spend,spend. Sadly enough, it's usually true. The point is, if I have to be told what to buy I'd rather have them"tell me in Denmark. The attitude behind the advertising posters from Denmark seems to be that ofproducing something you'll see. and want to read, as opposed to the attitude here that you won't even want to see it, but if it hits you hard enough you'll buy the product without even thinking. To digress intothe content of the exhibit, notice, for instance, the terrific poster of the piano-playing tigerâ€”it makes me want to attend the circus just to see the wild, roaring beast that can be made fun of. Or perhaps thelittle poster stampsâ€”they can't use billboards in Denmark, so they've gone to the other and morefascinating extreme. And no marred scenery. Since I lack the proper critic's vocabulary, try this: Are you chained to the advertising habit? Try Denmark for a change. Or: Buying more now and hating it? All inall you get a lot to like in this exhibitâ€”humor, quality, and plenty of good taste.

Home of The Square Barber Pole and the Round Barber ERNIE'S BARBER SHOP BELOW GUS'S By Bill Burke Now that we have slipped into at least atemporary summer (By the way, did you notice that the day after the P-I ran a front page story saying"where is summer," the sun blazoned out hot and sticky?) we might as well talk about Birch Bay. Notthe Bay so much, but the Birch Bay Sun. Not even that so muchâ€” the point is, the editors of the Sun(ex-editors, as you all must know, of the Collegian) hold an annual beauty contest. And they seem tothink that all the beautiful girls come from Canada and lie about the beach all summer getting lovelytans. Now that raises the ire within me"4â€”I happen to like the girls a t " Western, and think they could * out-beauty those Bay chicks any day. Well, in all the glory of my impetuous nature, I challenged thehonorable editors Simpson and Ehlers, saying in effect that I could find a girl here at Western whowould steal the show. So I. need a girl!! All you young lovelies who would like to help me win thechallenge come and see us. We'll pick the loveliest and rush her out to Birch Bay Thursday, August 9,for all the festivities. She'll ride in a convertible, be heard live on radio KPUG, and when we win, she'll get a free weekend for two (?) at the Bay. Onwardâ€”All the; niceties and failures of our automated societyhit me with full and sweaty force: the other day. I was out cutting my lawn (that "lawn" part is'a jokebetween me and my landlord) with a hand sickle. And as I stood gasping in the heat, the automatictimer on the automatic chimes in that big church downtown struck six and automatic music rang outacross the city. Now _ surely with all that they should be able to find an automatic substitute for a hand sickle.

Asked if he felt that the education program might be neglected iby anincrease in the arts and science program, Dr. Snedeker said that he believes in the value of a verybroad background, on which to base specialization. "The education program can only be enchanced by the scientific programs," he said. Contrary to popular opinion, "Chicken Cacciatori" is not cowardly.

Lets face it, only so much happens at Western. Thus the establishment of FalstaffAssociates, a symposium of opinion concerning issues MEANINGFUL to contemporarystudents. Topics will 'be selected from those submitted by students or staff the week previous to agiven symposum and stated at the end of each feature. Contributions will be accepted from any who.rares to submit his opinion; ' in the unlikely case that contributions exceed available space they will be considered on the basis of readability, pointedness, and contrast to other writings. All opinionsshould be stated within a maximum of 125 words. The purpose of such a feature is to give theanonymous student a chance to state views without the intellectual drudgery of writing a completecolumn or the pretence of composing The Very Proper Letter to the Editor. Names will be printedwith the contribution or witheld on resuest. SICK, SICK, SICK -'â€¢ Since one must begin somewhere, we have selected the first topic, "Sick Humor: What is it, does it swing, is it nasty, why don't morepeople dig it, etc." If you dislike the opinions stated, feel free to wax brilliant; only one qualificationâ€”the printers haven't learned to set up snarls, so let's keep this bit intellectual and use words. JoeFascianiâ€”"Sick Humorâ€” what is it? This .is the appeal for humor through the use of materialtraditionall considered taboo. Such material would include death, illness, both physical and mental,people in mishaps or even gory accidents. Yet how sick is this? I feel that the very fact that it is nowdiscussed where previously it was banned is a sign of awareness, even if that awareness seemscruel or crass. Was it a virtue to ignore the negative aspects of life now considered humorous? Thatthe irreverence and lightness displayed toward these aspects is sick may be true, but how can thematerial be sick? If so, then all life must be sick. I feel irreverence is essentially healthy, for it means a lapsing from dag-matism. Sick humor is hardly about to usher in a philosophy of awareness, but it maystartle that which most needs itâ€”ourselves." Anonymous Girlâ€”"Wild." Grad Student in Psychâ€”"IRemember-only YOU can PREVENT FOREST FIRES! have heard approximately 14 so-called sickjokes in my life. 13 of them I heard after spring quarter 1958. The other one was about the kid who finally found the baby's soft spot which I heard shortly after the birth of my son: I don't know." JackNeillâ€”r"Somehdw I prefer 'Sick' humor to the 'Pat and Mike,' 'Amos and Andy,' 'Farmer andSalesman' type jokes one used to hear with their quaint allusions to 'nasty' acts and 'human' foibles. Atleast a sick joke makes one realize the callousness with which we go around performing our roles, afact that old humor tried to pass off as being the expression of 'illbred and ignorant' people from'unfortunate' ethnic groups. For instance: the mother-child bit that runs, 'Mommy, mommy, why can't I . . .?' and Mother, 'Shut up and . . .'â€¢ hits home the adage about honoring one's father and mother in anoperational way. 'Sickists' do not merely play lip service, they do their duty with a vengeance. Or takethe one; 'Can Johnny come out and play . . .' Merely an extrapolation from a child's view, of whathappens in an adult worldâ€”where one uses another only to be abused in turnâ€”where regard for theburden of another's affliction is a ceremonial mouthing, sacrosanct but not serious. I think 'Sick'humor is a sane rebellion against the hypocritical maudlinism of business society and big peergroups; the exposure of street life to the eyes of 'Right Thinking' policy makers." Bob Galf ord â€”"Sick Humor â€” ah, yes. It is the sick who call this type of humor sick. Their sickness is that they arementally handicapped. Oh well, I suppose one should hire the handicapped. After all, they are fun to watch." MORE TO COME Unfortunately there were several contributors who failed the deadline,however we look forward to printing their opinions next week. Dr. Roy Mumme of the faculty has beensounded on this issue and may be cajoled into offering us a morsel of his marginal mentality. Surelythere must be someone who finds "Sick" humor abominable and detestworthyâ€”let's hear from you!First Wrestling Workshop Held (Continued from page 1) Lynch who coached the Javee's for Hubbardlast year.

Ross on low rung of pay ladder His $74,200salary may rise, but boost to equality unlikely By Peanna Shaw He's the poor boy on the block. At$74,200, Western President G. Robert Ross earns less money per year than any other president of afour-year college in state. And although a bigger slice of the budgetary pie may be served up soon, hisportion is unlikely to change his ranking. Western's Board of Trustees probably will discuss a raise forRoss at its February board meeting, although no agenda has been set, board member Curtis Dal-rymple said. He said the board normally tries to review the president's salary once a year, usually inJanuary, but a cancellation of this month's meeting postponed the matter until next month. Ross, whobecame president of Western with a $70,000 salary in January of 1983, received his last raise over 18months ago. But whatever the salary boost settled on, Dalrymple said it may not pull Ross out of hisplace in the salary basement, and it certainly won't be of the magnitude of the salary boost received byWashington State University President Glenn Terrell. Terrell was granted a whopping 19.3 percentpay hike by WSU's Board of Regents in a controversial November executive session, increasing his1985 salary from $88,884 to $106,000 a year. The increase, which would have made Terrell the state'shighest-paid employee, brought howls of protest from around the state and was reduced last Friday to amore seemly 6.7 percent increase, in keeping with raises granted university faculty. Dalrymplespeculated that Western's boards also will hold the presidential salary boost close to the 6.7 percentfigure received by faculty. A full 6.7 percent hike would place Ross's salary at $79,500, only slightlyabove that of Joseph Olander, the new presidet of the Evergreen State College. Olander was hired onJan. 1 for a salary of $78,588, a figure called "out of line" by Dalrymple. "I think the president ofEvergreen is overpaid and he'll probably continue to be paid more than CENTRAL EASTERNEVERGREEN WESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS' SALARIES DEKtl (Sourceâ€”Council of Presidents Office, Olympia.) the president of Western even after a raise, but I can't do anything aboutwhat Evergreen's board pays their president." he said. Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs,also deplored the discrepancy of salaries between Olander and Ross, noting that Evergreen is aboutone-fourth the size of Western, based on student population. He also pointed out that the salaries ofpresidents of Washington's other two regional universities were substantially higher than thatreceived by Ross. "The salary here should be comparable to a peer institution out of state or in state,but Western has none in the state," Ford said, explaining a peer institution is one that approximates insize and scope.

According to the letter, many more students applied for financial aid, and were eligible for StateNeed Grants this year than had been anticipated. Therefore, cuts had to be made. "It took us bysurprise," said John Klacik, acting director of student financial aid. In August, the financial aiddepartment first heard of a problem with funding at a CPE meeting. It was announced thai the statehad over-extended itself by $1.1 million with State Work Study and State Need Grant awards, Klaciksaid. Tentative grant amounts usually are established in the spring in order for students to make plans for the following school year. But, in the summer, campus administrators understood that action mightbe taken to cut back the awards, Klacik said. Klacik's committee asked if the cuts could wait untilspring pending the legislature's decision to provide students with supplemental aid, but was notified inDecember the cuts would take place wintei quarter. In total, $40,450 was revoked 1 from students atWestern, he said. One state grant recipient, senior Katy Hollingsworth, wondered, "How can theypromise money they didn't have to begin with? I had no idea there was even a chance that wouldhappen. I was counting on that money for things I need." Grant recipients could get another $50 to $70cut I n their payments this spring, without any refunds of money lost this quarter, Klacik said. But theCPE has requested that the state provide supplemental aid to cover the funds lost. If the legislatureagrees to this request, all State Need Grants will be reinstated to their original level, and the loss thisquarter will be refunded. Klacik said. "We have no idea what will happen,* Klacik said. Ine Legislaturehas until June to decide if ft will reimburse students with supplemental aid. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 ANDY PERDUE Conflicts over the Bakerview IceArena may end Western's home season. Home hockey ends? By Bob Marjanovich A conflictbetween Western's hockey team and the Bellingham Minor Hockey Association regarding the rentalagreement of Bakerview Ice Arena could cause the cancellation of the Vik- â€¢ ings remaining homegames. "Our agreement that we had with the arena (which is run by Minor Hockey Association) inregard to ice rental, crowd control and so on, was in question, and we weren't satisfied with some ofthe things they were asking, so we canceled any further activities . . . until we were able to work out acontract," Coach John Utendale said. He said at a meeting last week the association resulted in acontract being agreed to verbally by both sides, but he would not disclose the terms for fear theymay hamper the negotiations. The conflict was not the cause of the Bellingham Blazer gamecancellation on Jan. 18, Viking hockey Manager Chet Cery said. "The Blazers canceled the game astheir playoffs were coming up," Corey said. The main issue in the current negotiations is crowd control and how to handle the alcohol problem in the stands, Utendale said. Utendale said the team will be incharge of providing security for future home games. As of press time, the Friday game against theUniversity of Washington at the arena was on, Utendale said, but should the negotiations "fall apart," the game will be canceled.

Lines growing larger for Arntzen IBM computers By Andy Perdue Students tired of waiting in linefor textbooks and financial aid checks shouldn't bother going to Arntzen Hall computer center. JoanHayes, academic services coordinator for the computer center, said she is trying to devise a plan toexpand the Arntzen Hall computer center's hours. Currently the center is open 65 hours per week:from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. The center houses terminalsfor the VAX 2 and RJE mainframe computers and about 30 microcomputers (micros). The problem isn'twith the VAX 2 and RJE terminals, Hayes said, but with the micros. Doug Wharton, Arntzen Hallmicrolab aide, said that from the middle of the quarter they start a reservation system so people can gettime on the micros. But during the last three or four weeks of the quarter people are waiting forreservations or a chance to use the' first free computer available. The Saturday before the end of lastquarter people were standing in line from 6:30 a.m. until 8 a.m. when the center opened up, Whartonsaid. The IBM PC's have the best memory capacity on campus for student use, Warton explained,adding, Arntzen Hall has the most IBM PC's on campus. The biggest problem is the computer centerbudget and trying to stay within it. Hayes said the use of the computers has increased, "but dollars have not." Unlike the Bond Hall computer center,which is open 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, theArntzen Hall center must have a consultant or aide constantly on duty to check out memory discs.The Bond Hall center houses only VAX I and RJE terminals, which work independently of these discs. Hayes has proposed adding 30 hours to the 650 hours for the quarter. The cost would be about $125Hayes said. She said it would help a little, but "if it doesn't, we'll see if we can do some more." Hayessaid other departments know the center's needs. "Everyone knows we need more money for staff," shesaid. Hayes said she hopes different departments will help pick up the slack by providing money.Wharton said business administration and computer science classes use the Arntzen Hall center themost. He doesn't see the problem getting any better "unless they want to expand the budget, getmore computers, or something." Hayes said more computers aren't the answer, though, because thecenter doesn't have room for any more computers. I Democracy In Action. The constitution forWestern's Faculty Senate says the group of professors is "...empowered to speak and act for the faculty in university affairs..." The central document governing the relations of faculty with the university,according to the university Fact Book, is The Faculty Handbook. At its last meeting, the SenateExecutive Council appointed a "working group" to update portions of that handbook. The group,chaired by Robert Thorn-dike, will forward its recommen-. dations to the Executive Council, which continuesto meet in sessions closed to the public and press. Speak Up. Professor Arthur Solomon of Western'sspeech department would like the assistance of any student with a stuttering difficulty to help with hisseminar on stuttering this quarter. He can be contacted at College Hall 251 or by leaving a message inthe communications office. â€¢ /Steeper Summer Savings Set. Western students applying for financialaid next year will be expected to save $1000 from summer employment to be applied to college coststhe next fall. The minimum summer savings amount formerly was $800. Acting Financial Aid DirectorJohn Klacik said the increase was made to keep pace with rising college costs and was the first suchincrease in three years. â€¢ More Aid Dollars. Klacik also noted that the Council for Post-secondaryEducation has requested that the Legislature grant a 100 percent increase in financial aid for 1985-86. If granted, the money would be spread over State Need Grants, State Work Study and aid programs for part-time and graduate students. â€¢ Announcement of the Week.

Prayer, peace answer pro-life march By KarenJenkins About 3,700 people, many carrying signs with slogans such as "Equal Rights for UnbornWomen" and "Save the Whales and the Fish, What About Our Babies?" met in Olympia Monday toprotest the legalization of abortion. The demonstrators, including about 20 from Western, came from allover the state. As they walked from a parking lot, past the Temple of Justice and up the steps of thecapitol, they were subdued, More than 3,000 March for Life deomonstrators gathered on the steps of theLegislative building in Olympia Friday afternoon to protest the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision tolegalize abortions. some softly singing "God Bless ' America." The rally is sponsored every year byMarch for Life to commemorate the Supreme Court decision of Jan. 22, 1973 that legalized abortion.After the marchers ascended the steps, Pastor Bruce Norquist, from the People's Church stood on apodium facing the steps and opened the rally with a prayer that God would "somehow stop the holocaust that rages around us." Then pro-life legislators from across the state addressed the crowd, encouragingthem not to give up the fight against abortion. Rep. GlennDodds (R-Chehalis) likened people who don'toppose abortion to those in Nazi Germany" who said after the Holo-cause, 'I didn't know.'" Dodds ledthe crowd in shouting "Yes!" "So the people in the halls (of the capitol) will know we're here," he said.Steve Fuhrman(R-Kettle Falls) told the crowd to "go home and pray and teach and educate people about abortion." One demonstrator from Western, Brian McHenry, said he was there because "I really feelGod is the creator of all life and it's not our choice to determine if someone lives or not." Asked what hethought the rally would accomplish he said he believed "each individual is going to make an impact ohthe legislator." Another Western student, Paula Pliscke, said they are "hoping to 'open some people'seyes to reality." Rep.. Linda Smith (R-Vancouver) said such demonstrations "keep the issue verymuch alive. We have to work at this problem one chip at a time. Next . time, well make it." At theclosing of the rally, Kathy 'McEntee, president of the Washington State March for Life, told the crowd,"We are a peaceful people. We condemn the burning of buildings. We also condemn the violence thatgoes on inside those buildings." "I beg of you, if any of you know anyone who is tempted to violence,please stop them,"she added. During the rally, a man with, a sign that read,"Reproductive Rights, NotTerrorism," and a woman with a sign that bore a coat hanger with a red line drawn across it, stood in the middle of the crowd. Some pro-life demonstrators attempted to cover the signs with their own. One ofthe speakers urged them to leave the counter-demonstrators alone and invited them to come to thepodium and express gt; their views. They declined, but continued to 'â€¢ hold up their signs. After therally, an impromptu debate sprang up between the pro-life and pro-choice demonstrators. The woman,Gretchen Junker, said she came "because I felt that there was a statement to be made that wasn't going to be made." "Even if abortion becomes illegal it will still go on,"Junker said. "I'm not advocatingabortion," she continued, "but sometimes it is the only solution." Christopher Kalish, 6, (above) andGretchen Junker, (right) voice opinions in Olympia. Photos by Janice Keller Strictness of drunk drivinglaws debated By Shelley Nicholl Whether or not drunk driving laws are strict enough was the mainquestion discussed by a five-member panel and the 15- member audience at a meeting organized byJohn Hawkins of the Program Commission, last Thursday. Representing Mothers Against Drunk Drivers,Supreme Court Judge Frank Marrow said he believes taking away a person's car when he has beendriving while impaired is the answer. Taking away his license is not enough, he said. But Rob Jones,Whatcom County public defender, said the present laws are strict enough. "A DWI (driving whileimpaired) conviction can be catastrophic," he said. He described the consequences of a first offense: a $400 fine, a mandatory day in jail, driver's license suspension for 90 days returned after an alcoholevaluation and probation for one year. In addition, the driver must pay high-risk insurance. But theaudience was not sympathetic. One man from the audience hushed the crowd when he said his motherwas killed by a drunk driver in 1982 and the driver received only a four-month sentence for negligenthomicide. Officer Green of the Bellingham Police Dear Western Front, We, here at Western View, aretired of the rap that the broadcast industry has received from you print-media types. You sit around andtwiddle your ink-stained thumbs and say that broadcast journalism isn't "true" journalism, but a second-rate form of dispensing information (you can look up the bigger words in a dictionary â€” provided that youcan read). It is in this spirit that we, broadcasters extraordinaire, challenge you, the newsprint sniffinghacks, to a basketball game to determine just who is superior. Please respond to our challenge in print.May we also point out that while broadcast journalism may be less detailed than print, it Departmentadmitted not enough police are available to get all the drinking drivers off the road. "The problem needs to be dealt with by people on other ends," he said. Jones suggested better public transit would alleviatepart of the drunk driving problem. If people had an economic, efficient way to get home after they hadbeen drinking, they wouldn't use their cars, he said. Many people agreed with' the woman from theaudience who said people should take a stand on a personal level and tell people who have been drinking not to drive. cannot be used to line parakeet cages. Sincerely, The Cast and Crew of P.S. As an added incentive, the loser must report the outcome of the game via their particular medium.

Showing a different perspective Eric, Johnston from the Olympic Center explained the problem ofalcoholics. An alcoholic drinks uncontrollably, he said. "To recover from being an alcoholic is learninghow to deal with alcohol." He compared alcoholics to diabetics; they are never cured and constantlyneed treatment. Kathy Downs, from Alcoholics Anonymous, said alcoholics are "trying to fit back intosociety. They don't want any favors." --^C" EARN EXTRA MONEY ^ Bring in your childrens outgrownitems!!!

GRANT BOETTCHER PREVIEW Poor ending hurtsfilm By John Carmichael "The Second Awakening of Christa Klages" is like a mystery novel with thelast two chapters missing. No matter how good the style may be, it is disappointing not to find out themurderer's identity. In "The Second Awakening of Christa Klages," it is the main character's identity thatis never revealed. The police are looking for Klages because she robbed a bank. But at the same timeKlages is looking for herself. She is seeking to resolve the conflict between her altruistic dedication toothers and her own needs. If the film is looked at merely as a character study, then its lack of suspense is not a problem. In fact, the film works quite well as a character study. Christa Klages is a fas- â€¢cinating person. It is because Klages is made so fascinating that it is disappointing when the personalresolution, implied by the film's enigmatic ending, is not revealed to the audience. "The SecondAwakening of Christa Klages" will be shown at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. tonight in Lecture Hall 4.Renowned pianist here for performance tonight By Therese McRae Leonard Pennario, world-renownedpianist whose talent has been rivaled by few will play Western tonight.

The students,Audrey Spurrier and Dorothy Picht, were part of "Women in Metals," a show last year also at theChrysalis Gallery. Spurrier's work at this exhibit consists of jewelry, particularly pins. A "Fortune CookiePin," made of brass and acrylic, reads: "You have a deep interest in all that is artistic." Spurrier usescombinations of silver, acrylic, brass, copper, nickel, bronze and paint in making her creations. NancyHammer and Lynn Rockwood, both professional artists from Seattle, were invited to the show when twostudents from last year's metals exhibit were unable to attend. Hammer uses steel to developarchitectural pieces such as "Initial 1 /Triangle 2" and "Segments of a Slope." "Steel Fan" is a thick,upright piece of black steel, asymmetrically-shaped as an opened folding fan. Rockwood uses bronze inher sculptures "Earth Elements IV" and "Earth Elements V." She positions a triangular seat on pencil-thin supports to form a "Rose Chair." On the seat is a triangle of small stones. Picht, a jeweler whennot studying , shows some of her jewelry as well as "Triptich," three copper wall-mount sculptures,and "Ran-cho Delux,"a mixed media sculpture she calls "an environmental piece." G a l l e r y D i r ec t o r K i t ty Brougham said she believes a metals show is something that interests a lot of peoplebecause it gives them a chance to see something they normally wouldn't. "I think that there are some really innovative things being done with metal," she said, "and this gives people an education as to what is being done." LIISA HANNUS.

Maybe it was the prediction of George Orwell or the vilevision of Nostradamus, but the music of 1984 was a bland sophomoric symphony.

This is not meant to be an insult to those who bought such products. Recordcompanies have tightened the choices of what the public can buy. So this gives us a choice from Ratt to Prince and whatever falls in between. The bands that don't fall into this mega-sales category get lost inthe shuffle. To complain about 1984 could become a long and endless process. It would end up dull anddepressing. The music was unimaginative and the lyrics were simplistic; aimed directly at usâ€”thepassive Pepsi generation. Two examples of this would be Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night," andCyndi Lauper's "She Bop." The latter being a blatant bastardization of Gene Vincent's rock masterpiece"Be-Bop-A-Lula." Why think when we can react. Right? The record companies have us right in theirhands. Last year also was big in musical media hype: 1. The Jackson's "Victory Tour" that raped andpillaged people for $30 a ticket. 2. Lionel Richie sang live to millions (via television) at the OlympicGames. 3. Ronald Reagan praised Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." album. Big deal. Despitean overall constipated year in music, a few noteworthy things managed to slip out. The pleasantsurprises being: The Honeydrippers, Julian Len-non, Lou Reed and Spinal Tapp. A couple of excellentjazz releases came out last year too. Jazz guitarist Kazumi Watanabe's "Mobo I" and Shadowfax's "The Dreams of Children" were among the few musical standouts in 1984. ^ gt; WEEKEND BRUNCHES$100 OFF ALL BRUNCHES THRU JANUARY EVENING SPECIALS Open: Mon.-Fri. 11-7 pm - Sat.10-3 pm, Sun. 10-12 = S ^9 $1Â°Â° OFF 1140 NORTH STATE 733-4927 | SANDWICHES THRU JAN.ACROSS FROM THE HERALD BUILDING i Serving Home-Cooked Food For Over 9 Years! = I ALLVEGETARIAN '"â€¢ "IIIIIIP1!* m m m m i M i u i i STUDENTS!

As Peace Corpsvolunteers, they left their homes, families and friends to go to a foreign country with none of the luxuriesof home. In 1982, McCarten, 12 credits short of her elementary education degree, traveled to Hondurasto perform teacher training. Honduras is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Ithas a 50 percent literacy rate. Three-fifths of its population are subsistence farmers, farmers who cangrow only enough to feed their families. McCarten said one of the hardest things to deal with was thedrastic reduction in the standard of living as compared to the United States. "There's malnutritioneverywhere. There's no cars, no television, no running water and very little electricity. It was achallenge not having those luxuries," she. explained. "But I wanted to have that experience. If theycould do it every day, why couldn't I," McCarten added. Life in Honduras was simple and entertainmentwas scarce. A major pastime was talking with neighbors. "I had to rely on myself for entertainment. Iread a lot and wrote letters. We did have one movie theater in town. I really missed having a phone tocall up a friend and say,'let's go out somewhere'," she said. '7/ they don't like you, you're in bigtrouble because you're the only foreigner on the island." Some of her spare time was spent withchildren in her neighborhood. Most of them were 2-to- 10-years-old and couldn't go to school. WhenMcCarten came home from work, all the kids would gather at her house. She taught them colors andnumbers with crayons, puzzles and games. "You see, not everyone could go to school there. The kidshad a few chores to do, but basically had the whole day to themselves. One of the hardest things to getused to was knowing those kids would never have the opportunities children get in America. Their lives will change very little," she explained. McCarten said the experience taught her to be more sensitiveand ANDY PERDUE Peace Corps volunteer David Bracilano said he thought he was in paradise once he learned the language of the island. Although extensive training sessions are required before the Peace Corps sends a person out in the field, no training can prepare someone for everything they'll encounter,she said. McCarten said everyone experiences culture shock. "At first all the villagers stared at meas though I was a tourist. I looked different, I had lighter hair and skin. But as time went by, I blendedin," she said. riecause of the illiteracy rate, "You could always tell a Gringo when she walked down thestreet carrying a book," McCarter added. open to different cultures. She became comfortable living inHonduras. "It was hard to leave, but I knew it was the right time to go. My job was completed. It was themost rewarding experience 111 ever have. Day to day living was a challenge, " she said. She returned to Western to complete her degree. David Bracilano had an even bigger challenge in his assignment.He worked on a small island in Micronesia. He had a bachelor's degree in liberal studies, which didn'tprovide a skill he could share, so the Peace Corps trained him in agriculture. His assignment took him to one of the Marshall Islands, which boasts a coastline of just over one mile. Eighty people inhabit theisland. They speak a language called Marshallese. Only 36,000 people in the world speakMarshallese, and, unfortunately for Bracilano, not one of them was in the Peace Corps, he said."The first six months I was there, 1 was walking around literally in tears. It took me six to nine months to learn the language and get into the flow of gossip. I was the only person there that could speakEnglish and couldn't speak Marshallese. It got pretty lonely," Bracilano explained. "Once Ilearned the language 1 thought 1 was in paradise," he added. Bracilano's job was to teach th islanderssmall-scale farming. They relied on fish and breadfruit, a seasonal fruit found on the island, as theirstaple foods. During the off-season for the fruit, the islanders imported rice from passing boats, hesaid. He taught them how to grow vegetables such as potatos, pumpkins and yams to supplementtheir diets and rid them of their dependence on rice. The islanders didn't take to the new ideas verywell, Bracilano said. They liked the rice and were leery of the new produce. He said he didn't know many ways of preparing pumpkins, yams or potatos so it took a while before the islanders would eatthem. Asked if he tried preparing french fries, he replied, "1 wish I would have thought of that. I guess Ineeded some training in home economics." "You know what was really, funny was I grew popcornbecause I couldn't get regular corn to grow. When I made it for them, they thought it was magic,"Bracilano said. In addition to teaching farming techniques, Bracilano helped the women on the islandform a handicraft co-op. He made contacts with markets on other islands to sell the goods andarranged the exportation of them. He taught them how to use ledgers and inventory sheets and how to manage a small business. He also helped the islanders write a constitution. While Micronesia is still atrusteeship, the Marshall Islands declared their independence in 1981. Bracilano acted as a mediarybetween the rest of the islands and the one he lived on. They all became municipal governments actingin conjunction with each other. He organized four conventions to discuss the constitution and hetranslated the work from formal English to Marshallese. Bracilano said he saw many changes on thelittle island in the three years he was there. When he first arrived in 1979, it looked as; though WorldWar II just had ended. Approximately450 bombs, some weighing 1,000 pounds, were scatteredeverywhere. Nine Japanese Zeros (war planes) were crashed there. "Shortly after I was there, anordinance specialist crewcameand de-bombed the island. They scraped all the soil for bombs. They putall of the bombs in a big pile and blew them off," he said. An old Japanese runway was restored whichallowed a plane to deliver mail and supplies every week. Before the restoration, supplies and mail were delivered by boat about every four months, Bracilano said. Life on the island was slow-paced, peopleentertained themselves by fishing and telling stories. The hardest thing for Bracilano to get used towas the isolation. He relied on the support of the community. "If they don't like you, you're in big troublebecause you're the only foreigner on the island," he explained. Bracilano spent most of his spare timeworking on his master's thesis in anthropology. Bracilano said he experienced more of a culture shockwhen he returned to the United States. "I was home two days and my girlfriend at that time was having a birthday. Her parents took us to the Space Needle for dinner and I ordered an appetizer of smokedsalmon. I was shocked when I got this plate filled with a-half-a-head of lettuce and a few strips ofsalmon. I couldn't believe the waste. I struggled for years to even get lettuce to grow and here 1payed $7.50 to throw half-a-head away," he explained, shaking his head. The Peace Corps hascontinuous recruitment.

Students andfaculty members at Western's Vehicle Research Institute are culminating several years of work at afeverish rate to complete the Viking VII research car. The car will appear at the Society of AutomotiveEngineers' International Congress and Exposition Feb. 15 in Detroit, Mich. "It (the car) must be doneby the middle of February," said Michael Seal, VRI director. The project began several years ago, Sealsaid, but several other VRI projects slowed construction. Now, Seal said, they are able to concentrateall their efforts on the car. John Kutz, a senior who has been working on the car for about two years,said, "We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it look beautiful." He said the car isbeing shown at the exhibition in Detroit mainly for publicity. Chrysler has some research projects theVRI would like to get, Kutz said, and the lab wants to show Chrysler what it can do. Jeff Vickers, VRIresearch associate, said the exposition will display prototype vehicles, and the Viking VII will be the only U n manufactured car there. The car features a Subaru-manufactured engine that the VRI partlydesigned last year. Vickers said Subaru was_yery happy with the work done on the engine and was glad it will be in the exhibition. Viking VII is a high-performance sports car that weighs less than 1,000pounds. Vickers said most sports cars weigh between 2,500 and 3,000 pounds. It will get 60 to 70miles-per-gallon on unleaded gas. 'We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it lookbeautiful.' The $400 windshield on'the "VII is the same as that used on the car in the television show"Hardcastle and McCormick." The cost of the windshield, as well as the financing of most of the rest ofthe car and transporting it to Detroit, is being paid for by Alcoa Aluminum. By Stanley Holmes WhenPhil Ershler began climbing in high school he had no idea that one day he would make a living in the mountains and be one of a few persons to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. Ershler is aprofessional mountain guide for Rainier Mountaineering. He leads climbs year-round to Mexico,South America, Alaska and Mount Rainier. In 1982 Ershler was a member of Lou Whittaker's China/Everest expedition that failed to reach the summit. On that attempt, Ershler's good friend, and the onlyfemale member of the team, Marty Hoey, died when she fell at 26,000 feet. A year later Ershlerattempted Everest again, this time as a member of the Seven Summits Expedition. Although he didn'treach the summit, other members of that team did. So when Whittaker asked him if he would like to goagain in 1984, he had no problem saying yes. When he returned in November, he. was the only teammember to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. After the usual amount of storms, doubts andsickness that plague an expedition as it moves up the mountain, Ershler and his partner, JohnRoskelley, left the high camp (the highest point on the mountain on which a tent is pitched) for what they hoped would culminate in the summit. At 28,000 feet, Roskelley, who has an ethical objection againsttaking oxygen artificially, turned back, Ershler said. They were climbing the north face of the mountain,which is much colder, and could not be climbed without bottled oxygen. Ershler said the fall season inthe Himalayas also is much colder than the spring. Roskelley was worried about frostbite andhypothermia, he said. At that point, Ershler said he had no difficulties deciding to solo the remaining1,100 feet. "I was so totally consumed with the mechanics of climbing, making sure I picked the rightroute so I could get back, and that I had good climbing technique," he said. "The fact I was aloneheightened my concentration. I knew I couldn't screw up." He reached the summit at 3:45 in theafternoon and spent exactly 15 minutes on top. As he stood alone on the highest ooint on earth, he took a few pic-ures and remembered Hoey and Chris Kerrebrock, another climbing partner killed on Mt.McKin-ley while training for Everest. He said he did not feel euphoric on the summit. The mountainVickers said a research car such as the Viking VII usually costs about $250,000, but this project will run only about $15,000. The main reason for the low cost, Vickers said, is students do most of the work,drastically reducing labor costs. The car will be outfitted with Goodyear tires, which have new specialrubber compounds that help them stick to the road better. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, makers ofDitzeler Paint, is providing all of the paint. PPG Industries sponsors all of the Indy-circuit cars. TheVRI's research Viking cars have been entering contests since the early 1970s, winning most of them,but Vickers says those contests have become scarce. He attributed that to the fact that the energyscare, which brought about much of the research, is over. The* kind of research the VRI engages in hastaken a backseat to military research. Seal said, "Right now, government is not sponsoring muchresearch unless it's got a military application. The industry seems to be following the lead of thegovernment." s Everest demanded too much concentration. In order to survive the descent, heneeded all the physical and mental strength he could muster. Once he reached high camp, the emotionof standing on the top of the world became more pronounced. Now that he's climbed Everest, he said he hasn't stopped thinking about climbing other mountains in the Himalayas. "If anything, standing onEverest shows you how many things are left to doâ€”you can see them all from the summit," he said. Tomorrow he will be at Western showing slides of the successful climb at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4.Admission is $3. yplillp^ 'efejÂ»Shia^ :e,"said Mary Carskadon of Stanford erstfj^ o n l ^ s, but theymay be developing (sleep) j ^ ^ ^ | U l ^ ^ | | w ^ | ^ | n ^ i p P M ^^ M i t j ^ | ^^ ighters" before examshinders, rather Kielp^ vigils cause deprivation of REM (rapid npwrnent!|sl keplreiu^ d l f j S i^falw6reÂ£re^ toajfll^ iextremetcal^ j ufrayoijlia^ ^ta;c;kp'\Vh^^ Disorders Clinic^ at :.the-':Sj i^i lt;lIh1verf^ CHRIS BALDWIN rying about school work keeps students (anxiety) takes a long time to work out of the stration/ computer science major, said that :|!e|!i|p suppress REM sleep.

Central's try for a third victory against Western in 31contests was determined, but after the Vikings fell behind 15-12 in the opening minutes, they sprang outto a 30-21 lead before settling for a 34-27 half-time surplus. The Wildcats could come no closer than fivein the second half, and the Vikings scored 12 straight points to take a 79-54 lead with just over a minuteleft. Friday night, senior guard Lori deKubber, Western's leading scorer, was shut out for only thesecond time in her long career. Her teammates, though picked up the slack for a Viking victory overLewis-Clark State. Western dropped behind early, 19-16, but held the Warriors scoreless in the final7:08 of the first half for a 26-19 lead. The Idaho visitors pulled to within 38-35, but Western bombed theWarriors 27-8 down the stretch in the last 11:53 as Dolfo scored nine of her 14 points.

Here, they battle for rebound in the contest won by theVikings, .62-57. â€” It's been a tough season for Western's men's basketball team, but Saturday night it made up for all the frustration, tripping up Central, 62-57, in overtime at Carver Gym. The Vikings wonthe game at the charity stripe, hitting 26 of 31 free throws, including nine of 12 in overtime, while sending the Wildcats to the line only once all night, where Darrell Tanner hit one of two. "We had to get 'em,"said guard John DeFranco, who hit three of five freebies in the overtime, including one that gave Vikingsthe lead for good at 56-55 with 1:02 to play. "We just decided that we weren t going to foul them," hesaid. "We packed it in on defense, and we weren't going to give them the easy shots inside. We toldourselves that if they were going to beat us, they'd have to do it from the inside." Shane Nickel, thebiggest Viking at6-foot-7, was the one who had to contend with a Central frontline that included 6-8center Ron vanderSchaaf and 6-7 forwards Tanner, who transferred in from Washington, and RodnieTaylor, a transfer from the University of Oregon. "They got in there and forced it up and expected it to go in," Nickel said. "It was good. They are an awesome team. We played well and took it to them."Western led for the first 14 minutes of the game, before Gordon Dixon fired in an 18-footer to giveCentral its first lead of the night at 24-22 with 5:56 remaining in the BlueMo* THE JJttie MOXRESTAURANT SPECIALIZING IN FINE DINING, DANCING, and COCKTAILS.

The Wildcats expanded that margin to 32-25 at the break,then put on an 8-2 burst to take a 40-27 lead with 16:50 to play. It looked as I though the rout was on.Someone forgot to tell the Vikings, though. The turning point of the game came with 10:41 remainingwhen Central committed its seventh foul of the half, sending Western into one-and-one. The Vikings hit17 of 20 free throws after that point. The Vikings clawed their way back into the game, and a pair of TimDickerson free throws cut the margin to 45-41 with 10:15 remaining. Western couldn't come any closer,though, until Larry Tuell hit both ends of a one-and-one with 4:11 to play, cutting the margin to 49-47.DeFranco finally pulled the Vikings even at 49-49, with (what else?) a pair of charity tosses with 1:51to play. Both teams had opportunities to win, as the Wildcats turned the ball overtwice in the final twominutes, and the Vikings turned it over on a traveling call. But they got the ball back, only to have TimNicholas' 19-footer hit the backside of the rim and bounce away at the buzzer. Nicholas' shot came from the same spot where Todd Bailey's jumper gunned down the Wildcats last season, and DeFranco andCoach Bill Westphal remembered. "It was an instant replay," DeFranco said. "I figured it was all over."MIIMMH $2.00 off all kegs â€” Sunday thru Wednesday Westphal said, "I couldnt believe it. I knew itwas all over; I saw the ball falling through the net, only no one else did." Westphal also complimentedthe crowd. "I couldn't believe the crowd. They were great, they would not let us quit. "We were behind,but I looked around, and I heard the crowd, and I said 'we got this game, it's ours.' They were incredible," he said. Westphal said the Vikings planned to get Central in foul trouble. "Our second-half philosophy was to take the ball to the hole, and draw fouls, not to live or die by the jumper," he said. "When we'vetried that, we've died."

Last month that reporter, Michael Wickline, then-managing editor of the DailyEvergreen, took an upside-down glance at a memo on a secretary's desk and learned that WSU's Boardof Regents planned to grant retiring university president Glenn Terrell a 19 percent pay increase.Fortunately, Wickline's ensuing story touched off a statewide chain reaction of protest about theincrease, which would have made Terrell Washington's highest-paid public official. Last week the WSURegents bowed to public pressure, and reduced Terrell's pay boost to 6.7 percent, the same increasethat state faculty members are scheduled to receive. Those regents had to be forced to limit Terrell's payraise. One would hope Western's Board of Trustees will take advantage of the WSU hoopla and take itupon themselves to keep their senses when they discuss a raise for President G. Robert Ross nextmonth. Ross sits at the low end of the university-honcho totem pole with his current salaryâ€”apaltry$74,200 peryear. A 6.7 percent raise for the president seems fair, especially since Western's !faculty will receive the same. But why stop there? Almost half of that 6.7 percent granted to Western'sfaculty is doled-out to those professors deemed "meritorious"for excellence in teaching. As a result, amajority of faculty members are left with a 1.2 percent pay raise, while others may receive up to 20percent. And since university presidents must be meritorious to be in the position they're in, surely Rosswouldn't mind undergoing a merit evaluation like other state-salaried educational professionals oncampus. It would be the only meritorious thing to do. Higher fee needed for better service On Jan. 23Western students will be asked for their reaction to a possible increase next year in the $6 HealthServices fee. Options include leaving the fee at $6, or increasing it to $8, $9 oi $10 a quarter. If the fee is not increased, cuts in Health Services offerings inevitably will occur. Health Services would no longer beable to afford its contract with St. Luke's emergency room. Also gone would be two of Health Services'fiye part-time nurses. ' An increase in the Health Services fee. definitely is needed, but a $2 increase isn't enough and a $4 increase is too drastic for what will be gained. An $8 fee is expected to raise about$214,000, with an additional $9,000 coming from service fees and the Whatcom Medical Bureau.This would be $6,000 short of the revenue necessary to hire a new director to replace Evelyn Schuler whois retiring. The new director would be qualified to write medical prescriptions. A $10 fee would allow forhiring the new director and an assistant director, purchasing a computer and offering programs such as biofeedback and "wellness." By adopting a $9 increase, almost $250,000 would be raised allowingenough money to hire a new director and have almost $20,000 in reserve to allow for inflation and eitherpurchase a computer or sponsor some more programs, whichever would be most useful. In any case,students should voice their opinions at the open hearing tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge.Cinderella goes to the governor's ball Color coordination a must By Janice Keller C inderella goes to theball. . . or rather middle-class girl from Western goes to the governor's inaugural celebration. Never mindthat I had to dig out my beer-stained lace gown left over from my high school prom, borrow shoes fromfriends, and talk a wealthy aunt out of her mink coat and jewels for the occasion. Forget also that I hadto ask someone to escort me and have him give me a crash-course in ballroom dancing, then begBooth Gardner's office for tickets to the eventâ€”I was going to the ball.! Not only was the inauguralcelebration honoring a new governor whom I respect and admire, but the gala event had historicalsignificance as well. For the first time in state history, the Legislative Building, with its majestic dome,was the site of the ball. From the House and Senate floors to the third floor of the rotunda, the 4,000guests filled the grandiose building. The elected official's offices were open as well as the StateReception room, the governor's conference room and even the marble-floored cafeteria, for all to tour.Reino Moiso played for dancing in an Balancing toys between men and boys Playing in a nuclear ageelegant state room overlooking the capital campus, where guests danced until midnight. Fashion andcolor coordination are vitally important at this type of social event, mainly because the biggest reasonfor attending is to watch everyone else. Clothing must be appropriate and everything must match. Themen have it much easier than women. They throw on a simple tuxedo and away they go. Women,however, must worry about everything they wear. When 1 finished dressing, my gloves matched myshoes and my dress (a minor miracle), and my underwear matched my date's tie and cummerbund.But still 1 worried . . . until we arrived and the first inaugural guest 1 saw was a large woman in a dumpyblue dress and clunky black shoes. Assured that someone looked worse than I did, we floated into theball. For every Glamour "Do" at the ball, there was a Glamour "Don't," including one satin-clad lady whorelinquished her wine glass to swig from a bottle of. Riesling. Worse yet, the son of a well-known statepolitician chose casual brown shoes to wear with his black tuxedo . . . tacky, tacky, tacky!! Still, it wasfun to be at the state capitol with such a variety of power and prestige, as well as regular people likemyself, and have the opportunity to offer a champagne toast to Gov. Gardner. . .and it was worth the$20 ticket just to see my date walk out of the ball with a 1980 bottle of Hinzerling Vineyards Chardonnayin his pants. By Naomi Stenberg I t was a very simple war spread out on the living room floor. Theforces of Cobra, led by Zartan, advance from the jungle, creeping stealthily over the marshy ground. Alone 'copter appearsâ€”it's a Dragonfly JF6784026 with a red, white and blue insigniaâ€”Wild Bill, acrackerjack G.I. Joe, fires a missile. In the mind of the boy directing the war, a huge, gaping hole opens up. And Zartan and the Cobra forces are enveloped in swirling, noxious smoke. 1 asked the 12-year-oldcommander if he'd consider "nuking" the bad guys. He looked at me indignantly, "My G.I. Joes wouldnever drop a nuclear bomb. They're not that stupid." "Besides," he continued, "these are toys. The realthing can stuff it up their butts!" he laughed, turning to go back to "the front." Then he said soberly, "Thereal thing scares me to death." Nathan wrote to Reagan two months ago. "Dear Mr. Reagan: I think youshould stop building up. nuclear arms. I want to live to be old . . . " The letter was sent last week. Lastnight, Nathan's mother wandered into a mine field. Flip Breskin is a folk singer who was once run downby a truck during a peace march. She surveyed the evening's wreckage and said laconically, "Well,Nathan, maybe we could get out some sterno and show you how to napalm people." He said with morethan a hint of fear in his voice, "I don't wanna find out." Like most humans, Nathan is a study inparadoxes. He showed me a plastic pellet about the size of a baby tooth. "This is the only bomb I have.It's a flash-fire bomb, I believeâ€”blinds the pilot." He reminded me of something Truman said about thebomb that hit Hiroshima. "That bomb had more power than 20,00 tons of TNT," Truman announcedproudly over the airwaves on Aug. 7, 1945. "It had more than 2000 times the power of the British GrandSlam, which is the largest bomb ever used in the history of warfare." Maybe the only difference betweenmen and boys is the size of their toys. I wonder if Reagan floats a U.S. Navy in his bath-' tub. . . or plays with space missiles for fun. He doesn't seem to knowâ€”anymore than Nathanâ€”the true nature of histoys. At the close of the presidential debates, Reagan talked about driving along the Pacific Coast, being struck by its splendor and wondering about the people who would drive that road years later. "Theywould know," he said, "whether we used nuclear weapons or not." Ronnie, if your G.I. Joes drop anuclear bomb on the Cobra forces and they retaliate with even a fraction of their arsenal, there won't beanyone around to know if there was a coast at all. There won't be any beaches, ocean waves, AnnetteFunicelloâ€”there won't be a Pacific Coast. Grow up,, Peter Pan, and look at the gamma rays. This is our only time around.

How transient life is when we are the little plastic people on the living room rug, and our fates are in the hands of a boy. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 11 ---------- TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 11 S LETTERS Liberals uneven in condemnationWestern Front, The liberal establishment's sudden rush to condemn South Africa's apartheid policyand divest our university of investments with banks dealing with South Africa causes me to feelsomewhat ambivalent. On one hand, I applaud the rousing of an apathetic public to action against oneof the more brutal examples of oppression in this century. One the other, I deplore the lack ofcommitment, energy and devotion to the rights of those people suffering from oppression undercommunist rule. It seems to me that a nation must be traditionally aligned with the West in order toqualify for vilification by the liberal establishment, while excesses by communist or Third Worldcountries go unnoticed and/or unchallenged. There is a double standard here, and I think somethingneeds to be done abut it. I wish Yvonne Ward and her friends would champion the cause of brutallyoppressed Soviet Jews and Christians as diligently as they do that of black South Africans, it would bemore even handed if Ms. Ward introduced an AS resolution directing the university to withdraw itsfunds from banks dealing with the Soviet Union, as a gesture of solidarity with Soviet Jews andChristians imprisoned in the Gulag. The brutal mistreatment of these two groups is every bit as deserving of attention as the South Africans. Would the AS act as energetically on their behalf? I doubt it. SovietJews and Christians aren't the rage nowadays. They aren't "in." They're not getting the press. And worstof all, they're being oppressed by a non-western coun- â€¢ try. And people oppressed by non-westerrfcountries generally tend to be ignored. Now, if a group is being oppressed by a nationtraditionally aligning itself with the West, well that's a horse of a different color. For that group all the sorts of things can be done. By all means, withdraw our funds from institutions dealing with SouthAfrica. But withdraw them from institutions dealing with the Soviet Union, too. -Remember the blackSouth Africans and fight for their rights. But remember Soviet Jews and Christians and fight for theirrights, too. The time has come for the AS to prove it champions the rights of all oppressed peoples, notjust those residing in pro-western countries. Come on, Yvonne. How about some equal time andconsideration? Eric Leibman In Defense of Ward's Actions Western Front, I am sure that Yvonne Wardis more .than capable of defending herself, yet as a reader and an interested observer of this conflict, Itook offense to the level of unreasoning persecution displayed by Mark Watson in his letter of Jan. 18. Mr. Watson begins his attacking and trivializing Yvonne Ward's concerns over pornography and SouthAfrica; as if merely having an opinion is bad. If apathy is such an overriding concern to Mr. Watson,perhaps he should not be commenting. Second, Mr. Watson criticizes the move to boycott IBM sayingthat it would have been ineffective. Certainly, toppling IBM was not. the goal of any AS board member.The question was whether or not we should be helping IBM by purchasing from them. This is at thevery least a legitimate question. With another questionable display of argument, Mark Watsonwonders what Ms. Ward was doing reading Penthouse anyway. Surely an AS officer has a right, indeedas responsibility to react to what is being sold by this university. This is called university self-government and it is neither impious nor paternalistic. Finally, as if to proclaim that even blatant sexismis not dead, Mr. Watson asks whether the "surrogate parent" in Yvonne Ward would wish to cook forhim. She might, but considering the tone of his letter, I don't think that poison would be completely out of the question. Ken Bahm Board member disputes opinion Western Front, In your editorial of Jan. 15,you stated that "the AS Board is making resolutions to be followed by the rest of Western, and not by itself."

As an AS boardmember, my intentions are not to dictate what the students should think, but rather to provideopportunities for the student to learn abut the various social issues in the world today. the Bylaws ofthe A.

JManagement in Olympia, also is used by the board as criteria to determine administrative wageincreases. State institutions are kept competitive with those out of state so they are able to attracthigh-caliber applicants to job openings.. A list of peer institutions normally is given to the board forconsideration, Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, said. The board receives a partial list of eight peer institutions which Cole said are commonly used as comparisons to Western.Among the schools are California State/ Northridge, Ball State Indiana and New Mexico State, whosepresidents earn $80,000 or more. On that list, Ross again ranks at the lower end of the echelon withthe average peer institution president earning $78,850, a figure 6.3 percent more than Ross. Only thepresidents of Portland State University and University of Idaho make less, at $72,528 and $67,184,respectively. Ross, who could not be reached for comment-about his potential raise, earlier commentedon the large wage increase granted Terrell, saying he thought public employee wage increases ingeneral should be acknowledged early on, but that the increase was not really out of line given the sizeand magnitude of the job. He said recent dramatic increases for key government posts in the stateplaced the Terrell raise in a "totally different light."

Dalrymple was quick to praiseRoss for his excellent job as president of Western, but was just as quick to reiterate the board wouldact with expedience. He said the presidential salary has been out-of-step with that at other stateinstitutions for several years, but the board generally has held that the presidential increase should bekept in line with those received by other Western personnel. "It's totally up to the board. They look atwhat others are getting and what other people on campus are getting percentagewise, and then,certainly, they look at the performance of the president and his experience before reaching a decision."WHERE WHEN Health Service Fee Hearing.

About 50 people attended theforum, the first of a series co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate and the Associated Students under the general heading "Western As It Enters the 21st Century." The panel consisted of faculty membersHarry Ritter, history; Kenneth Hoover, political science; and Constance Faulkner, Fairhaven, as wellas students Michael Dumas, A.S. Social Issues coordinator, and Erin Middlewood. Before opening thefloor to the comments of the audience, each panel member spent about five minutes summarizingtheir views on the issues. An article called "Free Speech for Campus Bigots?" by John Wiener from theJan. 26 issue of The Nation had been distributed to the panelists as a suggested starting point for thediscussion. The article dealt with the rationale for and against codes which have been instituted at anumber of American universities prohibiting verbal harassment of racial minorities, women, homosexualsand other minorities. One incident discussed in the article was the statement of a student in aUniversity of Michigan classroom discussion in 1989. The student said he considered homosexualityadisease treatable with therapy. Hewascharged in a university disciplinary hearing with violating theschool's harassment code. A district court judge eventually ruled in Sept. 1990 that the university'srules violated the First Photo by Jonathan Burton Panel members for the "Freedom of Speech in theClassroom for Faculty and Students" forum included (from left to right), Harry Ritter, Erin Middlewood,Kenneth Hoover, Michael Dumas and Constance Faulkner. Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Thearticle drew distinctions between broad and narrow codes which have been adopted by variousuniversities. The broadest codes, such as the one instituted at the University of Michigan, prohibit arelatively wide range of actions; the University of Michigan's prohibited "any behavior, verbal orphysical, that stigmatizes or victimizes an individual on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, sex,sexual orientation, creed, national orientation, ancestry, age, marital status, handicap or Vietnam-eraveteran $1810$." Codes based on the narrow approach prohibit only the most threat-enmg andinflammatory casesof face-to- face abusive speech, according to the article â€” an attempt to deal withthe concernsofcivilUbertarians. Some scholars contend there is a legal basis for these kinds of rulesunder the "fighting words" doctrine created by the Supreme Court in the l942caseof Chaplinsky v. NewHampshire. The comments of most of those present at the forum indicated that while sensitivity isneeded, freedom of speech considerations outweigh any rationale for instituting such codes at Western.No one actually endorsed any specific reforms which should be enacted by the Associated Students,Faculty Senate or administration. "I believe that the university is an institution for the expansion ofknowledge, and that this is only possible through free discourse," Middlewood said.

Underrepresented groups include ethnic minorities, people from backgrounds of povertyand people who are gay or interested in gay rights, said Rand Jack, faculty member at Fairhaven andone of the leaders of the program. The program got its spark after Washington State Supreme CourtJustice Charles Z. Smith spoke on campus about the lack of ethnic minorities in the legal system,Jack said. Various law schools encouraged Fairhaven to begin with the program. Jack said.Encouragement also came from within. Fairhaven Dean Marie Eaton and Western Provost LarryDeLorme were both very supportive, he added. The program officially kicked off Sept. 21, when JusticeSmith led the first seminar. "Since all of this was his fault, he had to get it started off," Jack saidjokingly. "There is no other program like this we know of," said Lorraine Bannai, Fairhaven facultymember and the other leader of the program. Bannai was hired last spring specifically for this program. "I've taught in the law-school environment for the last 10 years," she said. "We are delighted. She wasthe best of all possible applicants (for this job)," Jack said. The program contributes to the goal ofdiversifying the legal profession, something that really needs to happen, Bannai said. It encouragesparticipation from ethnic minorities and the disadvantaged. It exposes them to the legal profession andequips them with the skills they will need to enter and successfully complete law school, she said. Theprogram is a preparation for law school. It is a junior-senior program. To enroll, students must havecompleted or nearly completed their GURs. The program is law-related and skill-related, Bannai said.Students will receive instruction on the American legal system and the American political system. Theywill be exposed to legal issues relating to minorities. Students will also receive instruction in writingskills, verbal communication skills and analytic skillsâ€”all of which are important to the practice of law.Fifteen students are enrolled in the program, Bannai said. These IS will stay together over the next twoyears. "The students are very committed and energetic, hard-working, they want to achieve goals andwant to be vehicles for social change. They want to go to law school," Bannai said. "(The program) isreally exciting," she said. "It's exciting to be working with undergraduates." Since the program is new,a few things remain up in the air. It is not known yet if a new group will enter the program next year,Bannai said. It will depend on the success of the program and the availability of resources, Jack said."We have no control over resources," Jack said. "We will have to start addressing this question soon." ButBannai said this question does not change the commitment to the IS students currently enrolled.They will be here for the next two years, Bannai said. "That commitment has been made." "We hope(this) can be a model program for other schools to pattern their programs after," Jack said.

Adequate accommodations for the students is a growing concern, and Westernis dealing with the issue and taking steps to recognize and satisfy the needs of those students with awide range of mobility and learning disabilities. Disabled Student Services sponsored a seminarWednesday on this issue, featuring guest speaker Salome Heyward, an attorney advisor onhandicappedstudentservice programs in post-secondary education. Heyward deals with cases involvingthe legal rights and responsibilities of institutions with regard to federal statutes and regulations. Theseminar lasted throughout the course of the day and was attended by many members of the staff andfaculty. Heyward said post-secondary institutions have been losing decisions in cases involvingdisabled students. It has become clear that if a student is qualified to be admitted into a program, they cannot be denied the right of admission without clear evidence the individual will jeopardize theacademic integrity and credibility of the institution's program. However, post-secondary schools arehaving problems justifying their denial in the court system. They decide on defenses like: the student issimply not qualified to be in the program or they will cost the program too much. "If you can't justifyyour own decision, you yourself are injuring the very thing you say you want to protect If you can'tpresent clear-cut reasons why this student can't be accommodated for, then you lose cases. And thatmeans you lose academic freedom and academic integrity," Heyward said. She gave the exampleof the University of Alabama's failure to provide adequate services to its disabled students. Theuniversity had a business education program on the third floor of one of its buildings and had no accessfor disabled students. Consequently, the university would only allow disabled students to participate in the program by having them either take the courses on the first floor which deprived them of participation with the rest of the students, or take the courses on a pass/ fail grading criteria. If the students didnot want this, they were not allowed to enter the program. This case was taken all the way to the U.S. Court of Appeals and the University of Alabama lost every case on the way there. The Rehabilitation Act of 1974 states all disabled individuals have the same right to participation as any non-disabledindividual. The federal government, as Heyward asserts, provides major funding to post-secondaryschools and has set standards under the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 for federal institutions to abide by.The University of Alabamadidn't abide by them and lost in every case. As long as schools cannot provide legitimate reason for their decisions, they will continue to lose cases, Heyward said. Institutions havebeen slow in facing up to the fact that they must be able to justify themselves. Heyward gave three basic responsibilities institutions have neglected, but should follow in order to comply with federalregulations: 1. Do not discriminate on the basis of disability. Treat students equally regardless of theirlimitations and admit them if they are qualified. 2. Provide "meaningful" access to facilities andprograms. 3. Balance all of the rights of students.

Partner in the United Way possibility of jeopardizing the programs efficiency andintegrity, the rights of the non-disabled students, and the rights of the disabled students. A difficultaspect of the issue involves the degree to which a disabled student must be accommodated for. Thepossibility of preferential treatment should not become a part of the controversy. A disabled person isto only be provided with what they need in order to be equal to the rest of the students without being ahindrance to theprogram, Heyward said. However, every post-secondary school must be able to justifyits decisions regarding the disabled. There must be clear reasons for the provision or non-provision ofservices by the institution. "The thing that we have to understand â€” and it's the thing that most post-secondary institutions are having the most difficulty with now â€” is for years we've had admissionstandards and criteria for participating in programs that everyone spoke, and now all of a sudden wefind ourselves in this legal arena where people are saying to you," Why are all these things important toreceive a degree?'...If you want to protect your academic freedom, then you have to begin to come upwith answers to the question 'why,'" she said. The post-secondary schools doing the best job are theones that are the most creative, said Heyward. They are the ones trying to figure out ways of educatingall students. In order to do this, they have evaluated their programs on the basis of what the real purpose of their programs are. They are the ones trying to figure out what skills they are trying to teach andwhether that is hurt by accommodating disabled students. There is a degree to which an institutioncannot accommodate the disabled. Heyward recognized that some institutions have limited resources. The money can only go so far and services can only be provided Construction begins on science facility photo by John Ketcham A construction worker from Tacoma puts up a fence to close off the sciencefacility area. up to that point.

Counselors at the center say the grant will gotowards buying desktop publishing equipment, making the counseling center, a relatively unknown anduntapped resource on campus, evenmore accessible to students. James Orr, counselor and grantadministrator, said he believes the publishing equipment should be fully functional by December andaccessible to the students at that time. The new equipment will provide brochures on topics that affect students both physically and mentally. Hopefully, by providing the brochures and posters, studentswill be able to receive resources and information they might not have received without them. "With thenew equipment we will be able to make flyers, posters, and pamphlets to reach the students," Qrr said."For example, when the school needed the freshmen students to get measles shots last year, we justdidn't have the capabilities to print out any of the brochures," Orr said. "It is important to get informationout to the students." The health and mental wellness of the students are correlated, because manytimes a student will go to Health Services with a problem that is related to a mental problem, or vice-versa. Orr said he is looking for graphic design students interested in doing work study to produce thebrochures. The grant is from the St. Luke's Foundation, a foundation established in 1983 when St.Joseph's Hospital bought St. Luke's Hospital and decided to setup a non-profit foundation to supportWhatcom and Island County health concerns. Western received an estimated $2,000 grant from St.Luke's to help stock the Counseling Center's lending library. Located across from the Counseling Centerin Miller Hall 263, the lending library provides students with books on various mental and healthissues. The Counseling Center staffs five full time counselors and provides free professional counselingto Western students. The counselors provide short term services â€” which Orr refers to as "focus brieftherapy" â€” to help with problems ranging from parents' divorce to problems with social skills. *TheCounseling Center is a well-used service that actually can help empower students," Orr said. Orr said he has seen a rise in the severity of the problems affecting students, but attributes the increase toanational trend. The number of students using the center's services has increased over the last 10 years. In 1981 -82,9 percent of Western students using the Counseling Center's services reported severeproblems. In the past two years, 24 percent of its clients have done so.

"There is no fixother than the attitudes that we all bring into the classroom. There is no legal fix," Hoover said.Managerial and legal considerations define the outer perimeter of the sacred space which the university occupies, he said, "but they do not supply its real governance, or the principle that are at the heart ofthe university. They cannotdo that. When one or the other takes over, the university is reduced to akind of intellectual vending machine. *Â£*L TOKYO HOUSE JAPANESE RESTAURANT "AuthenticHome Style Cooking' 733-6784 1222 N.

The ultimate irony may be that in straining so far to create an atmosphere conduciveto learning by all persons, something that we all want, we may actually produce a climate of suspicion,involuntary self-censorship, denunciation and even provocation." "What often begins as the celebration of downtrodden group identity and dignity, easily slides into collective narcissism and the celebration of intolerance," he said. A few people also expressed the sentiment that Western should embrace amore critical, multicultural and non-traditional curriculum in the interest of promoting diversity. "By far the majority of the materials that we use in the classroom have been written and/or formulated by elitegroups," Faulkner said. "Their lives, their experiences and their viewpoint...are taken as the norm." "Theliterary canon was established, or became set in stone more or less, in this century with the advent ofliterary readers in high schools and universities. What got put into those readers now constitutes thecanon, for the most part, and is now considered to be somewhat sacred, even though the people whoput it in there are not gods," she said.

Special Events creates financial woes By Clayton Wright staff reporter When the Village People take the stage tonight in Carver Gym,Associated Students Special Events will try to erase part of the financial hole created by the lowturnout from their first sponsored event. A.S. Special Events Coordinator John Sims said he's alreadyspent $40,000 for fall quarter; a large figure considering he's initially allotted a $30,000 base operatingbudget for the entire school year. "The A.S. Board has supported me for the Village People," Sims said. "They'll underwrite me since I've spent my budget. They trust it will be a good show. If this show doesn'tfly, you can write off the rest of the year." Even though Sims is leery of failure following the fiasco ofthe first show, he assures a top-notch performance tonight. "There'llbe nothing likeit,"Sims said. "It'sthe original Village People, no b.s. They'll really be singing, wearing the same costumes, performingtheir old songs using dancers and other psycho stuff. It'll be totally hilarious." In an all-out effort toupgrade entertainment at Western, Sims went out on a limb to bring the acts students want. Sims saidhe had faith in the student body. He listened, and he booked the acts.But they didn'tcome. In the firstshow, the David Alan Grier and Mark Curry comedy night, A.S. Special Events lost approximately$7,000. Why, you ask? Sims has no clue. "The interview I gave for the Welcome Back issue statedclearly that I needed to sell out my shows," Sims said. "It's crucial because these shows cost more and it's a smaller venue." Hoping to revitalize the success of comedy on campus, Sims took the initiativeand looked to book other comedy acts for the future. Now, however, such shows would be far too great a risk. "It's really too bad this campus isn't getting behind comedy. I don't have enough faith in thisschool, in (the students') ability to support comedy to bring another act here," Sims said. "I can't takethat risk again. I took the risk and I lost my shirt." Sims said he feels confident that when jazz greatBranford Marsalis makes his appearance on campus, the returns will at least equal the costs. "I'm notworried about the students supporting me. They don'tneed to this time," Sims said. "That's the oneshow I got that if the students tell me to go to hell, great. I'll still get my money back. Those who knowhim come, not just from here but from all over. It's a guaranteed sell out." Nevertheless, Sims said hefeels some of his effort has been wasted. "Seeing the shows that I really wanted to bring and the things I was looking toward have failed, it means I have to change my direction and go towards something elseand maybe shrink the venues," Sims said. "Everyone around is saying 'Oh my God, you're putting things in the gym and the P.A.C., you're doing such an excellent job because you're not settling for the (Viking Union Main) lounge.' Now if I have to start pushing things back to the main lounge, I don't want peoplecoming up to me and saying 'Where the hell is the entertainment?' " "I tried. I provided. If they don'tsupport me, they're basically screwing themselves. I'm trying to provide a diverse line-up," Simsconcluded. Sims said he'd like input to help schedule for winter and spring quarter. He can be reached in VU 108. Law and Diversity continued from page 1- is a wonderful opportunity for Western to dealwith the whole issue of diversity on campus and the issue of underrepresentation of minorities in thelegal profession, Jack said. Access to the U.S. legal system points to power, Jack said. Minorities aretraditionally underrepresented in the legal field. According to the Law and Diversity Program brochure, inWashington state â€” as well as nationwide â€” very few judges, interpreters, lawyers or courtemployees are people of color. "To be on par with the majority population, the number of African-American lawyers must double, His-panics triple and Native Americans increase by four times. In half the counties in our state, there are no minority lawyers," according to the brochure. "Access to court isaccess to justice in our legal system. Minorities being underrepresented makes it more difficult forminority communities to exercise their legal rights." "Through programs like this, we encourage minority students and expose them to the opportunity of going to law school," Bannai said. Many minority and underprivileged groups feel they have to be straight-A students, but that's not necessarily true. "Manydon't understand law can be a vehicle for social change. If you come from a minority background, maybe you only see the bad end of the law," she said.'The students seem pretty excited about the possibilities (the program) has opened for them." Each student will have a lawyer as a professional mentor. Inaddition, students must complete a legal internship. The program is open to anyone with a stronginterest in issues of law and diversity. According to the brochure, Fairhaven is particularly "looking forstudents whose ethnic, social or economic community is underrepresented in the legal profession and who have the potential to act as leaders and role models in their community."

You may recall older siblings dressed in disco gear while theylistened to the vibrant melodies of the Village People on their 8-track stereos. Your chance to re-livethese disco memories is here! The Village People willperformtonightat9p.m. inCarver Gym with Feast ofFriends opening the show. The show is a Halloween costume party and tickets are $5. Since theconcert is a costume party, everybody is encouraged to dress in an imaginative costume. The show issponsored by Associated Students Production Special Events. Jonathon Sims, ASP Special EventsCoordinator and Troy Ragsdale, ASP Special Events Assistant Coordinator, have collected a widerange of prizes for the event. The prizes will be given to three winners who wear the best costumes.Sims hopes prizes will "...inspire people to dress coolly." Ragsdale and Sims said prizes include: freepizzas, tickets to a Mama Sundays conceit, breakfast at the Bagelry, cases of Pepsi, "way cool" beersigns and a "totally kick-ass" Up and Up Tavern t-shirt. Sims said he got the Village People here bywriting a letter to them "expressing his interest" in a performance at Western. Their agent responded and Sims put the show together with Ragsdale. Sims said, 'If you don't show up (for the show)Winter Quarter will suck. I need at least 2,000 people there. If we get that many people there, we'll make up all the money we lost at the comedy show." This quarter ASP special events have beenunsuccessful; namely the comedy show earlier this quarter. Sims hopes to get larger acts at Western in the future. The Village People show will be a stepping stone for the future success of ASP events.Village People have a "real following" at Western, Sims said. In the past two years Sims, Ragsdaleand others have performed Village People's "Macho Man" and "Y.M.C.A." at Western Jam. For those of you who have not followed the success of the Village People in the last decade, Sims said they have"...toured in Europe for years and will be in Portland before they perform at Western." As for the historyof Village People, Ed Ward, Geoffrey Stokes and Ken Tucker, authors of "Rock of Ages," said "TheVillage People was a pop concept invented by producer Jacques Morali..." that stunned fans in the disco era. Their hilarious and cheery jingles set to heavy disco beats were a success in the 1970s.Between 1977 and 1979 "In The Navy", "Y.M.C.A." and "Macho Man" were all platinum-selling hits.Ward, S tokes and Tucker said the Village People is a disco group that Â«crgt; $2.00 PITCHERS (60oz.)

What more could possibly be said for acomedy team that has lasted more than 30 years? The Smothers Brothers will be appearing at 8 p.m.Oct. 26 at the Mount Baker Theatre for one show only. The Smothers Brothers had their own comedyshow, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," which ran from 1967 to 1969. Through their classic gagssuch as the Yo-Yo Man, "take it Tom" and Michael Row the Boat Ashore, the Smothers Brothers foundtheir way into the hearts of many Americans. The Smothers Brothers sing folk songs, with Tom playingthe guitar and Dick on bass, that are constantly interrupted with Tom's antics. Tom plays the slow-witted brother who goes "emotionally vague" at some of the most inopportune moments. Meanwhile, hisbrother Dick is constantly trying to get Tom to grow up and actually put on a mature show. "Youhaven't done one adult, responsible thing on this stage since you arrived," Dick said at aperformance covered by the Calgary Herald on June 6,1989. "Yes, I have. In fact right now I'm wearinga condom," Tom replied. The Yo-Yo Man is also part of the Smothers popularity. Tom performs yo-yotricks while Dick narrates. Tom doesn't talk when he is in the "state of Yo" because as he explains,when he's in a state of Yo he is too hip to verbalize anything. Their show was canceled at the end of the1969 season because of disputes that some of the material that they wanted to use was toocontroversial. Political tensions and the Vietnam War were situations that the Smothers had to fightto talk about on television. The cancellation came as a shock to the writers and performers becausethey were still in the top ratings. The Smothers went on to other things, like starting their own winery,and did another show in 1975. However, they felt they were only being hired to play the part of theSmothers Brothers with no artistic input so they took a break for the next five years. In the early 1980s,the Smothers reformed their comedy team and began working the comedy circuits again. A 20-yearreunion show in 1988 brought together many of the people who worked on the Smothers Brothers showin the '60s. Steve Martin made an appearance as one of the, now successful writers and performers,that got their start on the Smothers Brothers show. The Smothers Brothers have won many awards andwere honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1989. Tickets areonsaleatMountBakerTheatre Center, 104 N.

Summer Stock's Quiltersrevived for another sold-out season By Karl Jensen copy editor Quilters, Western's most successfulSummer Stock '91 production, was carried over for a second run this quarter because of theoverwhelming public response. Tickets for each performance during both the summer and fall seasonswere sold out weeks prior to opening night. Quilters' fall performances officially began Thursday and runs through Sunday. Lines are expected for each show in the off chance that no-show tickets may becomeavailable. "It's very gratifying to have something that people look forward to and seek tickets for early,"Theater Arts Chairman Doug Vander Yacht said. Because of the staggering public response to Quilters,Vander Yacht held 50 seats for each performance exclusively for students until Oct 14. After that datethe tickets were made available to the public. "We're seeking all kinds of ways to bring more studentsinto the mix of an audience we have," Vander Yacht said. Approximately 30-40 percent of the averageWestern theater audience is students, he said. Quilters is a historical musical-drama, based on the reallife experiences of pioneer women in the American Southwest It evokes emotional and striking images,although it may be hard to imagine that a "musical" could do so. The setting is simple, as is the music.Yet, on the whole, both are very effective and necessary. "I think that the actors were able to bring asense of portrayal â€” not a cartoonish or caricature of the people that tried to bring some real humanfeeling and life to those moments within the play that, I thinkmakes the play go well, "Director Ruben VanKempen, of Seattle, said. Quilters is definitely an actor's and director's play. With over 90 separateroles, the all female cast bounces from children to grandparents, from male to female impressively andrather realistically. The staging and directing choices made by Van Kempen were both natural andintricate. His ability to blend the jump-cuts into different characters with the predominant characteridentities is impressive, as is the flexibility of the actors. "I'd seen Quilters once before and I 'd loved it. Ithought it would be just a real big director's challenge â€” which it really was," Van Kempen said. Thehighlight of the production is the stunning acting throughout the cast. The seven member female ensemble draws the audience into the play with incredibly moving dialogue and stirring pain and passion. "At firstit seems like you're distant from this â€” very distant â€” but then at the end you find that you're notdistant from it at all, but a part of it It's very moving," audience member and Environmental StudiesProfessor Richard Mayor said. It does require a bit of conditioning to begin to enjoy the play, however.The surreal music and dancing struck me, at first, as a tad off-center. Yet, by the conclusion, I was notonly entertained, but enthralled. IBM PS/2 Collegiate Tour Join us.. Fun, food, and freebies. All on IBM.

Even the most civilized shopper's eyes glaze over and palms moisten,when confronted with an enticing array of unnecessary plastic objects. Here in Bellingham, many haveopted to shun the glitz and glamour of Bellis Fair for the down and dirty world of thrift shopping (orthrifting, as it is lovingly referred to by its devotees.) From the grand scale of Value Village, on the northside, to the claustrophobic intimacy of thedown-stairs collection at Pace New and Used, Bellingham'smany thriftshops offer bargain shoppers a dizzying selection of perfectly good stuff. Value Village is byfar the largest of the local thrift shops. Its size would probably qualify it as the only "thrift emporium" intown. Racks of used apparel stretch for 10s of yards from Value Village's spacious entry, topped-by-glass shelves covered with a mingling of fashion accessories and household items. Men to the right,women to the left and kids in the center, the Village earns its title as a "value department store." ButValue Village isn't without its detractors. A Bellingham woman who asked to be referred to as JoyceTaylor, (her family still thinks she shops at the Bon), appraised Value Village with mixed feelings."Overall, Value Village is the best for furniture, but they're by far the most expensive for clothing," Taylorsaid. Taylor, a self-confessed thrifting addict, says that she frequents the local thrift shops every week.And while that may seem obsessive, the frequency of her thrift shop visits Lyn Allen tries on a second-hand hat at The Mad Hatter. may be a key to her success as a "thrifter." The Salvation Army ThriftShop, Taylor's favorite bargain source, has become a battleground in the "thrifting" war. "You have to hitthe place frequently, because all of the dealers are always there getting the best stuff," Taylor said.The dealers Taylor refers to are the owners of private thrift shops who stock their stores with vintageitems purchased from the bigger non-profit stores, in addition to items found at garage and estate sales. The rise in popularity of vintage goods has made the market for recycled stuff much more competitivethan it's been in the past, and forces the thrift shopper to approach bargaining in an analytical manner.Often, to find those treasures that disappear so quickly in the cosmopolitan Bellinghammarketplace, shoppers must look elsewhere for bargains. "I often go down to the Mt. Vemon SalvationArmy Store,"Tay-lor said. "They're not as aware of vintage values in ML Vernon." To illustrate her point,Taylor mentioned that the Bellingham store had created a vintage comer, a feature unlikely to appear ina less vintage-conscious area. So, what is hot these days? Stephen Stimson, the owner of Lone Wolf,a memorabilia shop next to the Whatcom Museum, says that the big sellers today are leftover toys ofthe baby boomers. "I like the '50s and '60s kind of stuff â€” the things I remember from my childhood,"Stimson said. Lone Wolf's shelves reflect Stimson's passion for the things of the innocent '60s.Strangely, what should be comforting in its familiarity ends up grotesque in the Lone Wolf setting. Theatmosphere is like David Lynch's playpen. No offense, Stephen. The love affair with recycledmerchandise in Bellingham has fostered a sizeable circuit of thrift and vintage stores locally. Taylor,like many bargain hunters, has her favorites. Along with the Salvation Army, Taylor has taken a shineto Y's Buys on Holly Street. Despite the relatively small size of the shop, Taylor notes that she's found a number of treasures there. "They're inexpensive...and the women who work there are so sweet," Photoby Jonathon Burton Taylor said. Another of Taylor's favorites is the Mad Hatter, a downtown vintageclothing store. Taylor stresses the distinction between thrift store and vintage clothing store. "At thriftstores, you really have to scrutinize the clothing. At vintage clothing stores like the Mad Hatter, all themerchandise is pre-washed or dry cleaned," Taylor said. "And generally, the clothing is of much betterquality." It's a strange and wonderful world that lies behind the doors of the thrift shop. Cheap, cheerfuland full of neat stuff â€” it's worth a peek. By the way, does anyone need a Vegr-_aa-_mÂ«naattiirc*?7Used items - a cheap alternative for college budgets By Laura King staff reporter Antique stores havetheir own mystical quality, because once you enter the store, you enter a room full of other peoples'memories. These stores are packed with items that have been previously used and now are being resoldfor someone else to use. These stores carry furniture, knickknacks, jewelry, books, almost anything youfeel the urge to buy. With some good luck you can find some real treasures. Bargain hunting reallybecomes a factor for a good antique store hound. In Bellingham, you can find a majority of the antiquestores close to campus on Holly Street. These antique shops range in price from inexpensive toexpensive, depending on the item. The stores are in walking distance of each other and offer a wide range of items. One of the first shops that you'll come across going west on Holly Streetis Aladdin's AntiqueMall and Espresso Bar. Aladdin's carries an unusual array of odds and ends. Employee Walter Robinson said, "Our store has about 20 different dealers with different specialities, giving us a diversified inventory." The store also has an extra bonus because it sells Tony's coffee and espresso for those shoppers thatneed an extra push of caffeine while they shop. The store does carry rare collectibles for the moreserious antique shopper along with the inexpensive useful stuff for college students on a limited budget.Further down Holly Street, you find the higher concentration of antique stores. Starting with theBellingham Antique Mall which carries items for the more serious shopper with more serious money tospend. This store carries the more expensive items, so it may not be the store for those who are lookingfor a thrifty purchase. As you head further west down Holly, you will see quite a few small stores, eachwith their own personal touch and charm. One of these stores is Bristol Antiques. Bristol Antiques hasbeen open for 20 years and is run by Estella Gelder. Gelder's husband formerly taught at FairhavenCollege as a math teacher. Gelder's speciality is reference books on antiques, but she sells everythingfrom furniture to glass china. Her store targets the more serious collectors, because most of her business is repeat business from antique dealers. "I'm very moderately priced because a lot of my sales goes todealers and they only buy things that are cheap to resell," Gelder said. Despite Gelder's steady influx ofbusiness from dealers, she did recall a college student that had come in the week before. The girl hadcome to Bristol's because she had needed a coffee mug to put her hot chocolate in and she knew thatshe would be able to find an inexpensive mug at Gelder's store. Bellingham Bay Collectibles is anotherstore on Holly that carries such items as clothing, books and jewelry for relatively low prices. This storeis full of good bargains for the shopper that is willing to take the time and effort to look for them. Cyrano'sis a small store with furniture, such as tables and chairs and a wide selection of collectibles to choosefrom. "We're very moderately priced because our items are second hand. This means that we have to becheaper than anywhere else," employee Frances Farnsworth said. Next to Cyrano's is an antique storecalled the Pink Flamingo. This store is crammed with goodies for the thrifty shopper. It has furniture andknickknacks galore. The store also comes equipped with two cats that greet the customers as theyarrive. Pace's, a little further down the street, carries new and used furniture and a wide range of tools.The store is a little more on the expensive end of the price range. This is just a list of a few of the antiquestores in Bellingham. These stores can save you a bundle and their fun to explore. That's one of the bestpart of antique stores, you never know what you '11 find. Antique stores are the perfect place for a college student to pick up items that are in good shape and that don't cost an arm and a leg. So some daywhen your looking for that perfect desk, plate, bookshelf, mug. Instead of running down to the mall, whynot take the time to check an antique shop. It just might be worth .your while after all. What do you haveto lose? Hey, who knows, you just might find a perfect bargain!

But this isnotjustarecent trend, however, asBellingham has been involved inthe used record business since 1972. Buying and trading used records, tapes and CDs has been themajor economic staple of business for the last 20 years at Cellophane Square, 115 E. Magnolia St."We've only been doing new products for the last 10 years," said Chris Conner of Cellophane. The main market used to be in the trading of old records, but that is no longer the case. "Records themselves have fallen off lately. People are not buying them as much as they used to," Conner said. "(Records) are stilla good business, but not what it once was. Tapes and CDs are where it's at." Cellophane Square movedto its current downtown location about two and a half years ago, a move which has done nothing butincrease business, as the traffic flow of the area is much greater than the store's former northsidelocation. "Its a good business. (There are) four stores that buy CDs within four blocks of here. There's adefinite market (here)," Conner said. Conner said the three Western Washington area Cellophane Square stores are doing so well, the owners are planning to build a fourth store sometime soon. He said theBellingham Cellophane store has been "stockpiling tapes and CDs for months" in anticipation of thegrand opening of the new store. Cellophane has simple rules for buying and selling. You need to be 18years of age and must have a valid driver's license. The only thing which fluctuates is the value given onyour trade-in. How much it is worth to Cellophane depends solely on what it is you are bringing in. "If you bring in Milli Vanilli, you'll probably only get a quarter, because we have a ton of them. But if you bringin the new Guns N' Roses, you'll obviously get a lot more," Conner said. He also said the value for cashsales is about 20 percent lower than straight trade-in exchanges. Cellophane will buy or trade for anyCDs, tapes, or records that are in good condition, even those purchased through record clubs atdiscount prices. "Some stores don't buy them (record club items), but we do," Conner said. "There isno legal distinction (between record club and non-record club items). Conner said most stores will nottake record club items for trade because they are uneasy about the material the items might be made of. He said the main concern occurred when record clubs would mass produce albums by using cheapvinyl, but he said record club tapes and CDs are now made with the same quality materials as storebought tapes and CDs. To those looking to trade in their old music, Conner offers this advice: "Clean thedirt and stuff off your records and CDs before coming down here, because we don't have the time toclean them and if they are dirty, you will sometimes get less money (for your trade)." Cellophane Squarehas two coupons in Western's Big Blue Bonus Book, which are good for discounted purchases of usedCDs, records, or tapes. Both coupons expire at the end of this month, and neither may be used towardssale items or other discounts Photo by Steven Kennedy Cellophane Square employee, Ken Wick,organizes the records In the store.

The exhibit, "100 True Stories. Pleas and Thank Yous," is the effort of 60Seattle artists â€” a group impressive both in its size and expressed talent. The all-women groupproduced 100 paintings for this show, each on the same size sheet of tin. The two lines of flat, frameless paintings on three walls of the gallery look stark and incomplete from a distance: small rectangles ofcolor lined up uniformly on the white walls. As you get closer, however, you realize the impact of these paintings is revealed in a very expressive and intimate way. Once close enough, you 're drawn in by the magnitude of genius that can be expressed on such a small scale. Walking down the line of paintings,tacked modestly to the wall with pushpins, you become overwhelmed as each tiny piece of metal tellsits own very personal, very powerful story. Sarah Clark-Langager, the gallery director, saidcollaborations such as this one are a continuing theme in contemporary art "A collaborative work likethis is sort of like building a quilt," Clark-Langager said. "What (the artists) are saying is if you take away one of the artists, you're taking away an importantcontribution to the entire work." Traditional LatinAmerican images are used by some of the artists in "100 True Stories;" bright red hearts (the kindseen more in anatomy books than on Valentines) and stylized skeletons in some of the paintings invoke traditional sacred and secular Mexican images. Some artists use traditional techniques such asimprinting the tin with designs or spelling out words. The artists also make full use of the votivepainting tradition of combining text and images. The use of tin is itself a traditional element of votivepaintings. Clark-Langager said votive paintings are usually very expressive works. "It's a type ofexpression which traditionally displays a reference to an icon â€” some sort of religious figure," Clark-Langager said. She added that the works by the Seattle artists were not necessarily limited to anyspecific subject, religious or otherwise. Mostly, she said, the artists have reinterpreted the votivepaintingstyle with their own voices. Gene Gentry McMahon, one of the original eight who organized thecollaboration, has several pieces in the exhibit. Her essay describing her work reveals the very personalnature of this show. "My pieces are an affirmation of life," McMahon wrote, "made in both lightheartedremembrance of fleeting magic episodes, and in profound gratitude for peace following loss, and for joyfollowing sorrow." One of McMahon's works has a heart-shaped cut-out in the middle of the sheet of tin.A painted portrait â€” a tiny memorial bust â€” hangs by a red ribbon from the top of the heart.Embossed crudely above the heart is the word "Recuerdos," the Spanish word for remembrance. Manyof the artists wrote short explanations of their work. The collection of essays â€” the only writteninformation offered â€” is collected in a notebook and not posted near the paintings themselves. Some 100 True Stories. Pleas and Thank yous is on display at the Western Gallery through Nov. 2. artistschose not to add any verbal explanations; without titles or specific explanations, the flat, notebook-paper- size paintings are forced to speak on their own. The exhibit is one in a series of shows at theWestern Gallery focusing on the art and culture of Chicanos or Latin Americans. "100 True Stories"will be followed by a show featuring 11 Los Angeles artists beginning Nov. 11. Gallery hours are 10a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Dalton's and Waldenbooks? Then one of Bellingham's several used bookstoresmay be just the place for you. Whether your tastes run to Harlequin romances or Henry Miller, EastAsian folklore or biographies of Winston Churchill, chances are you '11 find what you're looking for in atleast one of these stores' eclectic collections of newer and out-of-print books. Arguably the Mecca ofBellingham's used bookstores is Michael's Books, 109 Grand Ave. For sheer shelf space and browsingroom, Michael's reigns supreme, offering over 100,000 used books. The atmosphere is cozy andcollegiate, and the overall selection is exhaustive. Here the intrepid bookshopper can while away manyan hour searching for whatever tickles his or her fancy, without being pestered by any nosy staff.Michael's boasts an impressive array of books on numerous subjects. Of particular note are the store'sscience fiction/fantasy and mystery sections, which take up a great deal of shelf space. Michael'sclassics room is also generously stocked. Like most used bookstores, Michael's pays cash or givescredit (for use only in their store) for books brought in for exchange. You can usually get a quarter to athird of a book's original cover price, depending on the condition, quality and rarity of the book. (Note:Michael's is fairly picky and won't take a title if it has a number of them already in stock.) Michael's isalso a good place to go if you're looking for inexpensive older editions or versions of certain textbooks.And, joy of joys, they even offer a 10 percent student discount if you show them your University Clubcard. As good as it is, however, Michael's is not perfect So many of their fiction hardbacks are set onhigh or top shelves that you must either constantly climb, descend, shove along, and climb again one oftheir foot-stools or suffer the consequences of a stiff neck from craning your head upward for too long ofa time. Also, their prices are on the high side for used books. (Good thing about that discount, huh?)Across the street from Michael's is its formidable rival, Henderson's Books. Although it is slightly smaller and usually less busy than its higher-profile neighbor, Henderson's carries just as large and diverse aselection (including many new books at reasonable prices), and (unlike Michael's) the books here arealways in good, often mint, condition. In many cases, Henderson's selection of tides ranks as themost complete in town. The atmosphere is a shade less convivial, butmany gems await the patientcollector, as well as the only- partially-interested browser. Henderson's, too, deals in used textbooksand pays cash for your books, but they are even more picky than Michael's as to what they will andwon't take. Prices are generally equivalent to Michael's, but reasonable, considering their books'areoften in pristine condition. Alas, Henderson's doesn'toffer any student discounts. Even thoughcomparisons be-tweenMichael's and Henderson's are unavoidable (and endless) due to their closeproximity and size, the best policy is to view them as complements of each other. Often, if one doesn'thave the particular title you're looking for, the other will. Besides the Big Two, other used bookstorescan be found scattered throughout the area. Fairhaven's Eclipse Books, 915 Harris Ave., offers amodest, but valuable selection of fiction and reference works in a small but sunny, well-lit andcharming store â€” definitely worth a look. Blackberry Books is currently closing its shop on CornwallAvenue, but its other branch is still open, although it's a bit out of the way on Cedarwood, offNorthwest. Though it now seems but a shade of its once respectable self, Blackberry's still rewards theoccasional visit with an exciting new find. Other paperback collections can be found in Bellingham BayCollectibles and the Granary. The latter is more noteworthy for its small, but fine Georgian library ofantique books than its random sampling of paperbacks, both of which are surrounded by numerousantique paintings and pieces of furniture. So remember, there is something for everyone in Bellingham'sused bookstores. You might not find many current best-sellers, but it's more than likely you'll go homewith a good read in your hands and without a big hole in your pocketbook.

CN ---------- Western Front - 1991 October 25 - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Western Front ACCENT October 25,1991 Live From the Pulpit By Dave Lambert suede columnist Ursus horribilis. Grizzly Bear. I think it got a bad rap with a scientific name like that. It sounds more like a bacteria that causes bad breath than an omnivorous mammal on the endangered species list. Notonly that, it is probably the most feared animal in North America due largely to bad press. From 1900 to 1985, grizzly bears were responsible for fewer than 200 injuries and fatalities. This is a relatively small number compared to the amount of human induced violence that takes place on any given day in thecrowded phallus city of New York. Hell, I would even wager that more than 200 police brutality suits arewon annually. On the other hand, over 77 grizzlies were killed in the Canadian province of Albertaalone from 1979 to 1988. These bears are being slaughtered outside the boundaries of provincial andnational parks by hunters and ranchers largely because Canada has no Endangered Species Act.According to bear biologists, grizzlies are leaving these parks because of increased pressuresresulting from petroleum and natural gas drilling. You see, for every drilling site, the Canadiangovernment builds approximately two-miles of road. Bears do not feel comfortable with roads. They split.Then they are gunned downby someone whosebrain is being starved of oxygen because of tightsuspenders. So why does Canada drill inside of their parks? That's the tough one. Because you and Ileave our friggin' lights on and drive automobiles the size of whales, that's why. We import about half ofCanada's natural gas and petroleum resources. But wait, the causal chain continues... Grizzlies don'tadorn themselves with tattoos of the American flag. They, unlike donkeys and elephants, are truly non-partisan, despite what California thinks. Unfortunately, many of the bears in Glacier National Park andthe surrounding National Forest lands in Montana are able to cross the narrow treelessswath markingthe border between us and Canada. Come to think of it, they probably don't even get strip searched bysmiling border officials. In fact, male grizzlies have a range of up to 4000 square kilometers in a givenyear, making it quite possible for one to travel from the southern most part of Glacier, well into thedanger zone of Alberta. This case is indicative that ecosystems, like bears, do not stop at borders. Butit seems that our culture values rarity: be it in art or cars, stamps or jewelry. Our economy is based on gold- araremetal. Our senate is based on ethics, rarely. And our aloneness, which we value greatly, is a rareness. Moreover, we associate rarity with a sort of reverence. Such reverence for the grizzly ismanifest in Gummi bears, Care bears, Teddy bears, and even the Chicago bears. We are content with the image of the ever elusive grizzly upon post cards and phone books. It is our way of comprehending something that we do not understand. But these images are merely surrogates for some realnesson all fours, feeding on elk. They are like urban landscapes sufficing for wilderness. Indeed, we havereached a point at which the image is in conflict with the beast. In the midst of our consumptive drivefor the image, we are losing sight of its source. And its source is disappearing justlike the light that weleft on in the bathroom this morning, making us both look more and more like dodos. Shanghai stringquartet brings warmth and feeling to PAC By Beth Matthews staff reporter Western's Performing ArtsCenter (PAC) welcomes the internationally celebrated Shanghai String Quartet at 8 p.m. Monday,Oct. 28. Originally forming in China in 1983, the Shanghai String Quartet has established an astonishing reputation as one of the leading chamber ensembles in the United States.

In thepast they've held residence at the Tanglewood and Ravinia Festivals and the Julliard school. The Quartethas also appeared on the "Great Performers" Series at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center's Mostly MozartFestival and at New York's 92 StreetY. The New York Times has awarded the Shanghai String Quartetas being,"... among the finest young foursome of the day." Other reputable critiques have also praisedthe Quartet's ability to weave fire and emotion into their music. "These musicians play with warmth andintense feeling, yet with such clarity and dead-center intonation that you can hear every note andsavor every combination of tone and texture. ...The performance went from strength to strength,"â€”Richmond Times-Dispatch.

For many students it's one or the other. For juniors Mike Dunford and Mike Wagner it had to be both, and Western provided the perfect atmosphere to accomplish just that. ForDunford and Wagner, former classmates at St. Monica's High School outside of Los Angeles, the perfect college was one where they Photo by Steven Kennedy Betty Haskell christens the Jimmy H with somelake water. She and F. Murray "fled" Haskell donated $10,000 to Western, $7,000 of which was used topurchase the four-oared racing shell. "Red" Haskell is the Chief Executive officer of the HaskellCorporation, and rowed for two years at the University of Washington in the 1940s. In addition, "Red"Haskell donated $10,000 in 1969 which paid for Western's first shells, and made the crew programpossible. The Jimmy H. is named after his late son. Mike Wagner would have an opportunity to playfootball while maintaining academics. Western turned out to be that school. "There's a lot of emphasis on academics, which is important," Dunford said. "One of the first things Coach (Rob) Smith said to uswhen we got here is that you're a student-athlete, and in that order." "I wanted to play football and getan education," Wagner continued. "At big schools they care if you're eligible. Here they care if you getyour degree. Everything Western offered was right; education, football, location." It wasn't until aformer high school coach made the move to Western that Dunford and Wagner considered theuniversity as an option. Andre Patterson, referred to as Coach P. by Dunford and Wagner, originallycoached at Renton High School with Smith. Patterson then took the head coaching job at St. Monica'sduring their junior year. "Me and Mike got real close to Coach P. for various reasons," Wagner said. "Hestuck his neck out for us, he really did. If anything went wrong at school, me and Mike were in the office. Coach P. kept us on track." "Coach P. was a player's coach and a coach's coach. He knew how torelate to players," Dunford added. Patterson left St. Monica's after one year and moved on to WeberState University. Smith, who then got the head job at Western, contacted Patterson who agreed to come and coach at Western. It was at that time, after receiving letters from Patterson, Dunford and Wagner learned about Western. But it took a serious meeting between the two to arrive at the decision to attend Western. "We got kicked outta class together," Wagner said. "We had a business class in highschool our senior year and got tossed out for throwin' eraser bits. We just went out and started talkin'about where we wanted to go to college." For Wagner, Western wasn't the only option. "My junior year I thought I'd end up going to a junior college, but my senior year, colleges started getting in touch withme," Wagner said. "Some Division I schools talked to me, but they were leery because of my size." "Alot of coaches told me that when you get into college, football becomes a business," Wagnercontinued. "At least now we're havin' fun. I enjoy the team I'm on and I enjoy being here." Eventhoughbothlike the school, the distance from home, friends and family often occupies their thoughts. "Itwears and tears," Wagner New marketing scheme for athletics to draw fans By Rob Gwinn staff reporter Every team player should know their role. The new director of marketing and promotions for Vikingathletics, Kevin Bryant, knows exactly what his role is. "My job is to get the word out and get thecommunity involved in our (sports) programs," Bryant said. "(We) want to do different things to attractmore people to the games." Bryant, a former men's assistant basketball coach at Western, hascommitted himself full-time to the marketing and promoting of Western's athletics. His objectives areclear-cut: Put people in the seats and raise money for the Athletic de-partment and its programs. Withthe restructuring of Western's budget, certain departments will be asked to fully utilize their abilitiesto raise additional funds for their programs. The ones who are able raise the most money outside theUniversity will have their budgets cut back the most. "(For example), the biology department doesnot have the ability to make outside dollars, (unlike) the athletic department, the Performing Artsdepartment, and the Housing and Dining department," Bryant said. The Marketing and Promotionsdepartment has already launched an aggressive marketing campaign aimed at local business support ofViking athletic programs, with another aimed at filling the stands. "The key is making (every game) anevent," Bryant said. He understands the need for his marketing programs to succeed, as 40 percent ofthe Athletic Department's budget coming directly off of gate receipts and marketing. Bryant also said 30percent of the department's budget comes from student fees, with the final 30 percent from state funds.Already Bryant has his marketing efforts succeeding. This season every home football game has had atheme, such as Senior Citizens Night, the Homecoming Game and the final home game was billed asParent's Day, with all of the games having pleasing attendance figures. There is also this year's halftimefield goal-kicking contest, with the winner of the finals receiving a trip for two to Reno, Nev. Bryant hopesto continue the "event theme" success into the men's and women's basketball season. "The(basketball) games will be much more enjoyable than in the past," he said. "The bottom line is to getpeople in the seats." Bryant plans to have various local businesses sponsor a halftime three-pointshooting contest, and expects to see a more exciting cheerleading squad, who will be doing morecheering and less dancing. The dancing may be handled by Bryant's bringing back the popular dancegroups that performed at various games last year. Bryant has also been talking with the AssociatedStudents Special Events department about several ideas for increasing the basketball attendance.Although no details have been worked out, Bryant discussed the possibilities of a reduced admission toa post-game event with a game ticket, withtheevents being anywhere from a comic performance toJumbalassy, for example. Bryant is also working with TCI Cablevision in an attempt to bring a WesternGame of the Week to local television. TCI is currently showing Viking Sports Talk, a half-hour showhosted by Bryant, along with head men's basketball coach Brad Jackson, from5:30 to6p.m. everyTuesday evening on TCI Channel 10. said. "I hated leavin' my mom 'cause she's my sweetheart" "It'stough going away from home," Dunford continued. "There's no one to tie your shoes, you gotta take onall new responsibility." "There's times whenl just warma say forget it, pack up and go home. Primarilybecause we're far from home, but sometimes I just get tired of the grind," Wagner added. Regardless,both admit to culture shock after coming to Bellingham, but neither regret coming. However, homeis home and Mike Dunford both plan to return to Los Angeles after college. Dunford described thedifferences between Bellingham and Los Angeles like this: "It's like you can take a boy outta the city,but you can't take the city outta the boy â€” It's stuck. For example, if it was a car, in L.A. 65 (mph)would be the fast life. Then I pull into Bellingham, I gotta slam shift into second, grind my gears, twisteverything up and go about 30. It ain't bad, it just takes a little getting use to," Dunford concluded.Excercise your right to vote Briefs Compiled by Sports Information Office Shane^ VoDanann and Kris)Utde^e|i^ :'m^;:'andgt;:if^Bl^:^J^tes.'bf the Vott^arafc ^safety andplace kiclcer, blocked a fieldL goal anda PjVrmtheVikmg^ J^getSlt;^di^ ^ n national^ had remrnsof 83 and 50 yards to raisehis average to36.8 yardsiper return.;': 'â€¢:y^Mm^;':;0: Little; a isoph^hiore setter, was named to the afl-to^ tearri atithe IP^get Sotmd Jnvijta- â€¢tiohal^ second p l a c e ^ t e t p n a m e n t, winning four of fiyematches.Twoof the wins were oyer-:district leading Central; the loss /was to Portlandi State University; which isrankedmirdgt; nauohally, in the Kevin Bryant ---------- Western Front - 1991 October 25 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front OPINIONS October 25,1991 Mpir~~ - ^ ^ N M M J ^ J J tepojj COM* iw ^uvnMeVoo iOi*rr, gar -rfcucu/j ueuecLveW j IIC-J.â€”â€¢â€”'â€žn''Ai/'^u,,o YOOt Â«-TnLto.,/-_Lrirr- -~7Â«w4vlt;s?mofvÂ«5Dr) --nmarlt;cez *z.*joâ€¢lt;z*e -inw?v ,u.)JlAi^jreor gt;T Z-rgt;e.s .â€¢" Thetrue meaning of death By Clayton Wright staff reporter Death â€” a term so commonly used that its true meaning is practically defunct. A noun substituted frequently to describe the termination of anythingformerly in existence. But the true, undefined meaning of death prevails only to those who understand. Idon't understand. But last week I became painfully aware of its presence, I've never even seen death, but I know it lingers. My life is unmarred when it comes to such personal tragedy, butl now realize how deathcan clutter a clear conscience. Last Sunday my mom called, her wavering voice signaling panic, to tellme my dad was in the hospital with amysterious illness. The symptoms were rare and extensive, theprognosis undetermined. Our highly developed, highly technological medical institution poked andprobed, but were unable to come up with an accurate diagnosis of the problem. For a few brief moments,as I clutched the phone, I incurred a mental lapse. My usually clear thought and instinctive dialogue were lost. I felt fear. True fear. My grasp on the receiver turned my knuckles white. I stood motionless, stunned by the turn of events, paralyzed by fear. A force of fear I can not remember ever experiencing. As mycognitive abilities returned, I thought about death. For one shortmoment, I saw death. So personified, such immediacy. My dad is now home recovering; weak and aggravated, but recovering. My temporary fear of death has faded. I managed to elude its plague. But I know it's there. And the next time I use theword, I'll think about what it really means. Barbecues and bake sales: The revitalization of the CIA ByJohnny Herber staff reporter The White House has rats. This isn't really startling news to most. I'm suremany of us remember the story last year of how Barbara Bush came face to face with a rat while taking adip in the White House swimming pool. The unfortunate animal was promptly drowned by PresidentBush; sort of his "Zero Tolerance" policy for rats. In fact, William Seale's history of the mansion, "ThePresident's House," dates the rodent problem back to 1809. It also talks about how in the 1860's,President Andrew Johnson's daughter proclaimed a "War on Rats." But while she spared no expense forall manner of traps and legions of cats, she was unsuccessful in solving the problem. Part of herfailure might have been due to the fact that President Johnson was in the habit of leaving flour and waterout atnight in case any of the rats got hungry. That's like the contemporary "War on Drugs." This time the CIA was in the habit of leaving little dishes of money out at night in case any rats like Manuel Noriegagot hungry. What possessed them to do that? I mean, Noriega, isn't exactly one of those dancing micefrom "Cinderella." Did they really think of him as a cuddly little pet? I have to wonder why, in the midst of an arms race with the Soviet Union, the CIA had nothing better to do than to play "Let's Make A Deal"with drug lords? What scares me is the thought of the kinds of mischief they'll get themselves into nowthat they'll have more time on their hands. Obviously, they need something else to do to keep them out of trouble. One option is that there's always work for them in the 12 new Soviet republics. Given theagency's penchant for peddling U.S. influence around the globe, all they'll have to do to make inroadsinto the new Soviet governments is to change the image of the average CIA agent from the cloak anddagger persona of the past into a new type of agent who merely wants to make friends, maybe throw abarbecue: kind of a used car salesman with a shoulder holster. But there's only 12 republics. Only a partof the agency can be kept busy over there. Of course the CIA also has their ongoing operations in LatinAmerica to keep them occupied, but in reality, the only threat south of our border is that Mexican potatogrowers may begin outselling U.S. potato growers. All that the CIA would have to do in that case is to airdrop a bunch of agency Mr. Potatohead's armed with portable Cuisinart's(and disguised in littlesunglasses and sombreros) into Mexican potato fields and the problem would be solved. So again, whatwill we do with the rest of the CIA? We can't really fire them. After almost a half a century of fighting theforces of Communism, giving out pink slips might be enough to cause agency ideologists tospontaneously combust. Ironically, the new Soviet "spymaster", Yevgeny Primakov, has another solution. He feels that U.S. and Soviet Intelligence should team up in the battle againstdrug trafficking andinternational terrorism. While I do commend Mr. Primakov for the thought, I also think that his Glasnosticvision is a little short sighted. We need to first look at how our traditional methods of "rat catching" havefailed to work in the past before we waste further energy on them. It seems a simple enough solution, just kill the rats and the problem should go away. But every time we do, more rats come along to replacethem. Anyone who knows about rats will tell you that if there are rats in your house and you want themout, clean up your house. If the rats have nothing to feed on, they will either die or go away. At the worstthey'll get desperate and careless, eventually setting themselves up to be caught by a skilled rat catcher. It works the same way with our drug problem. Our problem isn't the international drug cartels. They arerun by rats; they are run by survivors. As long as there is a market, see Rats, com. on pg. 15 Iffllllffii Allwomen were victims in Thomas' hearings A dangerous precedent has been set in American society. Inthe aftermath of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, the efforts of the thousands of women who have been fighting for years for recognition of sexual harassment have been virtually erased. An article in Thursday's Seattle Times regarding a Senate subcommittee on discrimination and harassment in theworkplace states that three women who were scheduled to appear decided not to show up. According tothe article, the women decided that to appear before the committee would put their careers in jeopardy.They made this decision after watching the Judiciary Committee tear apart the credibility of Thomas'accuser, Anita Hill. Two members of yesterday's subcommittee, including the chairman, were on theJudiciary Committee. The reactions of the three women is unsettling. It shows that they do not have faithin their government to treat their concerns fairly or compassionately. The "glass ceiling" which has keptwomen from moving up to high positions in our society has once again been slammed down on thefingers of women everywhere. The results of the Thomas hearing are not the issue. It's how the wholesituation was handled that has sent women's rights back 15 years. Rather than taking a serious look atthe allegations, Republicans (and some Democrats) on the Judiciary Committee jumped on the Bushbandwagon and began attacking Hill, claiming she was fantasizing the allegations, or that she was "ascorned woman."Bush's campaign to discredit his nominee's accuser will have dangerous meaning in asociety already insensitive to women's issues. The power-hungry men in society received governmentendorsement to continue trying to dominate women in the workplace. They can now follow the example oftheir President and trash the reputation of any woman who dares to bring forward charges of harassmentor discrimination. Such women can be labeled as opportunists or fantasizers. And the "glass ceiling" willslam down even harder. Editor, Steve McClure; Managing Editor, AlexandraM.

Rape and all forms of sexual assault are most definitely a real and powerful concern for students on campus. Unfortunately, rape is also vastly unreported, which accounts for the fact that University Policelacks concrete statistics as to what the prevalence of sexual assault is on our campus. Rape is a crimeof violence, both physical and emotional. Verbal threats and coercion can be just as frightening andforceful as physical threats and bodily harm. Physical bruises are not always necessary to createemotional scars. Whenever a sexual situation lacks actual words or conduct indicating freely givenconsent for sexual activity on the part of all persons involved, a sexual assault is occurring. It is estimated that one out of six college women will be sexually assaulted this year. The idea of rape conjures upimages of a woman being drug by her hair into a dark alley by an unknown assailant in adark hat andtrenchcoaL The unnerving truth is that roughly 85 percent of rape or attempted rape victims knew theirassailant, and that not all rape victims are women. But what can one person do to change the odds ofsexual assault from happening? Actually, there is a plethora of preventative measures that protectstudents from becoming statistics. Follow security measures. Do not prop residence hall doors open.Always walk with a friend after dark, or call Security at 676-3555 for an escort. Lock your doors. Be strong and assertive. Educate yourself and others about sexual violence. Carry mace, keys, a rolling pin, orother possible weapon when going out. Learn self-defense. Name rapists everywhere. Leave abusiverelationships. Do not be accommodating. Volunteer at Whatcom County Crisis Center (671-5714 or 384-3748) or Womencare Shelter for Battered Women (734-3438 or 671-8539). Be aware of the fact thatover 90 percent of date and acquaintance rapes involve the use of alcohol. Walk tall, be proud, and takecharge of situations. Demand justice for rape, murder and battering crimes. Dial 911 and report crimes.Publicize your anger. Take care of yourself, and be a healer. Learn to say "NO". It can take months oryears to heal from the trauma of a sexual assault. If you have been assaulted, get help. Contact theSexual Awareness Center (VU 214/647-6117), the Counseling Center (MH 262/676-3164), HealthServices (High Street Hall 25/676- 3400), VP for Student Affairs/Student Life (OM 390/676-3846),Whatcom County Crisis Center (734-7271/384-1485,24-hours), University Police (676-3555), orBellingham Police (911). Do not try to deal with the problem on your own. Seek the support you need and deserve.Rape is a terrible violation of one's sense of security and self-worth, but it is a wound from which one canheal. Sincerely, Michelle Hull Robyn Rogers Sexual Awareness Center Clarification It has come to the attention of The Western Front editors that headlines used on the letters page (Oct. 18 and Oct 22)regarding Initiative 120 have caused some confusion. By referring to the first letter, by Mark Ellis, asreader opinion and the second letter, by Amy Willis and Deidre Washburn, as facts about Initiative 120,The Front has appeared to have take a position on this issue. The Front strives to maintain objectivity inbringing issues to its readers. The headlines were taken from comments made within the lettersthemselves and are not a statement of the validity of one point of view over another. The Front apologizesfor any misconception. Rats, com. from pg. 15 they or someone like them will find a way to sell theirpoison. The true battlefield in a war on drugs is at home. Thus there is a better role that the CentralIntelligence Agency can take for our country: the promotion of intelligence in our country. Agentscould become teacher aides, tutors and counselors, putting their information gathering skills to positiveuse. They could help care for our nation's elderly, work in hospitals and create community centers whereour youth can safely play. They wouldn't and shouldn't solve our country's problems, but they couldhelp us along by becoming a kinder, gentler CIA. Why not? It's better than them getting tangled up in the strings of their own puppet dictators. Why not? They've got budget money allocated to them already andwe could u the help. Why not? It's a way for them to help our country to finally rid itself of all these rats: a "Zero Tolerance" policy for ignorance. What is it you're saying? That type of innovation would betotally beyond reason to leaders like President Bush and Robert Gates? There are just too manyobstacles for this plan to overcome? Rats? Letters Policy the editor.

More than 150 people attended the opening in theViking Union Main Lounge, said Director of Women Studies Rosanne Kanhai. Kanhai said she felt it was important for this type of conference to take place in a homogenous community like Western.. "(Theconference) is a strong voice to be heard by anyone who is listening," Kanhai - said. "It is important thatthis type of event is supported by the campus." The SOCI conference is a national event that rotatesaround the country, Kanhai said. Each time it is hosted somewhere, it integrates itself into the area,Kanhai said. The opening ceremonies included presentations from Vice Provost Ken Simes; MargaretGreen, Chieftan of the Samish Indian Tribe; and tribal dancing and drumming by Chief John Cagey ofthe Lummi tribe with his wife and five grandchildren. Green shared her story of earning a degree fromEvergreen State College in The Little Swan Dancers performed the Dance of the 1978 and continuing tofight for greater tne sisters of Color conference opening. education for her people. racism of a dominatingwhite culture, Front/Matt Renschler Little People Friday night at Green expressed desire for Western tocontinue to educate students about her native lands. "The university should be a place to help peoplehelp themselves and make them grow," Green said. Provost Roland De Lorme formally opened theprogram. "Dr. De Lorme has always been a strong supporter (of women studies)," Kanhai said. "It wasappropriate that someone from Western's faculty should welcome conference participants." GailTremblay of Olympia substituted for Mary Crow Dog, who was scheduled to be the featured speaker ofthe night. Tremblay read poetry concerning the toward Native American cultures. She began herreadings with excerpts from Mary Crow Dog's book, Lakota Woman. She also read poems from herbook, Indians Singing in 20th Century America. Kanhai said the conference was meant to be agathering of people coming together regarding issues of color. The conference will be followed up by ananthology of participants' works. Kanhai said she is expecting an enthusiastic response for thepublication that will be distributed in the fall. Front/Erin Fredrichs Angela Eun Ee Koh Gibson spokeSaturday. By Robin Skillings The Western Front Five women of color spoke about their personalexperiences during a panel Saturday afternoon titled "The Politics of Identity" in Viking Addition 461-3.Angela Eun Ee Koh Gibson, an American Cultural Studies major, opened the panel with the backgroundand history of her topic of discussion, "Involuntary Immigrants: Korean-American Adoptees." "... I'ma bad memory to my mother. I'm an embarrassment to my nation. I'm not sure where I was born. I am not sure who I am. I'm case 8,819," Gibson read from a Ji Sun Sjogren poem, "Seed from a Silence." TheU.S. government, Gibson said, adopts Korean children as a humanitarian action to "save them from theirpoor living situations." She said the humanitarian theory is the most prominent issue for transracialadoptees. It is important for adopting families to know the children's situations and for children to haveknowledge of their back-, grounds should they begin to ask, Gibson said. Adopted from Seoul Korea atthe age of 2, Gibson said she views being Korean as only a "physical appearance." She traveled with her father to Korea at the age of 16. While there, she realized that "even though we shared the same color, I still didn't feel like I fit in ... due to my mannerisms." She continues to ask the questions, "Where do I fit in?" and, "Who am I accepted by?" Following Gibson's presentation, Touk Praseuthsy and Bopha Chan opened their discussion titled "Caught in a Culture Clash: Young Women Straddling South East Asiaand America." Praseuthsy, a Western finance student, said, "The mom versus the daughter of the SeeIdentity, -page 4 Western students saved from JWE headache By Ken Brierly and Julie Graham TheWestern Front A thorn in the side of many Western students was yanked out Monday by Western'sFaculty Senate. "The Junior Writing Exam is eliminated" said Faculty Senate President Jim Hearne after a unanimous vote to remove the test, "effective immediately," from university requirements. "Hold yourapplause," he said. The change removes one hurdle in the graduation requirements for currentstudents, Hearne said. Specifically, whether they've passed the JWE or not, students currentlyattending Western will now only be required to take a writing proficiency course in the process of fulfillinggraduation requirements. Incoming freshmen and transfer students as of fall quarter 1999 will be bound by a new set of standards, which are yet to be finalized. The motion to eliminate the test came on therecommendation of the Academic Coordinating Commission, which received the recommendation fromthe Expository Writing Committee. Faculty have long seen limitations in the JWE, said Carmen Werder,consultant to the EWC. "I had students who would write beautiful things for me, then fail the JWE,"said Diana Weymark, an economics professor who first came up with the idea of writing units threeyears ago. As part of its original recommendation to remove the JWE, the EWC suggested replacing the current writing proficiency requirements â€” both the JWE and the writing proficiency course â€” withclasses that would supply one to three writing credits, depending on the amount of required writing inthe class, said Thor Hansen, geology department chair; the geology department worked with the EWC to formulate the proposed new requirements. "Instead of having one class to satisfy a writing proficiencyrequirement," Hansen said, "you can have writing from several different disciplines" for writingproficiency credits. Under the proposed plan, a student would need a total of six writing units with apassing grade of "C" or better in order to graduate, Werder said. In their draft form, "writing units" wouldbe credited as follows: Three units for a course in which 70 percent of the requirements are draftwriting; two units for courses in which 50 percent of the course work is draft writing; and one unit forcourses in which 30 percent is writing. "This will make it easier for sciences to come up with classesthat count for writing proficiency," Hansen said.

College President Charles Florasubmitted the proposal and said the program would be part of Washington state's Early ReleaseProgram. Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Technical Institute would be part of a three-school plan, along with Western, to create a diversified approach to the problem of educating eligibleinmates. Television violence discussed at symposium Aggressibri and the effects of television violenceon behavior were among the major issues discussed during the fourth annual Western Symposium onLearning. "Watching TV violence tends to increase aggressive behavior," said Robert Liebert, associateprofessor of psychology at State University of New York, Stony Brook. He said 80 percent of all thearguments shown on television are settled by violence. The "good guys" are rewarded for theiraggression, "usually with a raise, a vacation and a blonde," he said. Liebert seemed especiallyconcerned with such rewards when given to television policemen for violent behavior. He concludedthat "TV has been shown to be one of the contributors to violence in the world ... We have to reduceviolence and increase socially good television." Group discusses legality of hitchhiking A women'spolitical group dedicated to preserving the spirit of the American government and the constitution began a petition drive to make hitchhiking illegal. Mildred Trantow, president of the Washington state chapter of Pngt;America, said her group opposed the hitchhiking law because "it is hazardous to both thesafety of the hitchhiker and the driver." . Sergeant Harlan Ritter, safety education officer of theWashington State Patrol district office in Everett, said his main concern is.the danger,factor ofhitchhiking. With poor visibility and early darkness during the fall months, Ritter said drivers can't easilysee Wtchhikers,. His office is also concerned about elementary- age children who are hitchhiking, and some are doing so to and from school. Also noted was a Seattle police department survey, from Mayto September 1972, which showed 59 criminal offenses were related to Wtchhiking. Drinking initiativedrowns After gathering thousands of signatures, spending countless hours and hundreds of dollars,Initiative 262 met its end. David Huey, a Western student and organizer of the initiative drive, was thevictim of a car theft â€” the car carrying the signatures for the initiative that, if passed, would havelowered me drinking age in the state of Washington to 18. The car was stolen from in front of initiativeheadquarters in Seattle while he was trying gather more signatures. He was on his way to thesecretary of state's office in Olympia to hand in the signatures. The car was later found on the outskirts of Renton with a note that said, "Fuck you, 262." Huey said the issue was taken to the courts after thetheft, but the motion to allow the initiative on the ballot was turned down.

Faculty Senate adopts new recycled paper plan By ErinBecker The Western Front Western students and faculty may soon be printing on recycled paper andnot even know it. Last night the Faculty Senate passed a resolution to begin phasinging printers andcopiers that can handle recycled paper. A paper company recently introduced 100-percent post-consumer, non-chlorine bleached, recycled paper and Western is currently testing it in some print-Associated Students Vice President for Legislative and Community Affairs Jesse Salomon has beenworking the last three months on the resolution presented by both the AS Board and the FacultySenate, instituting the use of recycled paper in campus printers and copy machines. 'â€¢â€¢ "My goalis to get every computer lab and copier on campus to use 100-percent post-consumer, unbleached,recycled paper," STUDENT PUBLICATIONS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY WESTERN FRONTAdvertising Sales Representative Academic Year, 1998/1999 Requirements: â€¢Prior sales experiencehelpful but not essential (training provided) â€¢Capable of dealing with the public â€¢Full time studentenrollment required Submit resume and letter of intent to Business Manager, Student Publications,CH110, MS 9100 Bellingham Cooperative School * *"* ' ...a country school in the city Salomon said.The AS Board passed the recy-cled- paper resolution, with the goal of phasing in printers that arecapable of handling the recycled paper. The AS Boaj-d also passed a resolution last Wednesdaydirecting its offices to use this paper in printers and in the new copiers that are being phased in.Salomon said the Faculty Senate seemed receptive to the idea and that a stamp of approval from thesenate is very important. However, the senate will not make the policy concerning recycled paper.Using recycled paper is not a new idea at Western. "Western, to me, has always been a leader inrecycling," said Dale Monroe, director of purchasing at Western. "We carry a large amount of recycled products in our Central Stores." Thirty percent of the paper currently used at Western is recycled;however, the majority of the paper is made from tree pulp. However, Monroe said Central Stores soldmore than $100,000 worth of recycled paper products from July 1997 through December 1997.Recycling Education Coordinator Becky Statzel, of the AS Recycling Center, said Western tried tofollow the 1989 Government Option Landfill Disposal Plan. The GOLD Plan focused on using recycledpaper to reduce waste and promote recycling. The plan eventually lost popularity on Western's campus. "I think it's really hideous that we do not already have recycled paper in all the computer labs," Statzelsaid. "Anyone who has used the labs must have noticed how much paper is used and wasted andshould be in support of the new plan." A few years ago, several students were involved, and recycledpaper appeared in the labs, but it was not long-lived. "Once those students graduated, the pressurewas gone and the program stopped," Salomon said. Salomon said recycled paper may be phased intothe lab printers again if students show strong support. "What needs to happen is the Faculty Senatehas to hear that the students want this, and then hopefully everything will get passed through," Salomonsaid. "(Students) need to call in and put pressure on the board and senate â€” they need to make it anissue." "I think recycling is something everyone should support," Statzel said. "Students need to let the administrators know it is important and put pressure on them." Even though environmental awareness seems to be at a peak, opposition to this plan still exists. Many students complained about the color of the paper during the last attempt at using recycled paper in the labs. Salomon said he thinksstudents may not have been aware of what happens in the process of making white paper. "During thebleaching process, dioxins are released into the environment and the food chain," Salomon said."They are the most carcinogenic chemicals around. Unfortunately, some students did not understandthis and complained about the off-white color." The new 100-percent recycled paper is acid-free and is cleaned with non-chlorine bleach, which is better for the environment, Monroe said. The main complaint was that the paper jammed the printers; the shorter lengths of the fibers caused the paper to curl,Monroe said. "Higher-speed printers cannot tolerate the recycled paper as it is now," Monroe said.Monroe explained that reprocessing the paper makes the paper weaker. "The longer the fibers, thestronger the paper," Monroe said. The new paper is white and costs $4.79 per ream when 8,000 reamsare purchased. The majority of paper used on campus is virgin paper, which costs $2.04 per ream.Western also uses 30-percent recycled paper, which costs $2.45 per ream. Western is now in theprocess of testing the paper in several printers, waiting for the price of the new recycled paper to fall."(Recycled paper) is too expensive, so we will wait and anticipate the cost will be equal to orcheaper than it is now for regular paper," Salomon said. "We've found a new source of 100-percentrecycled paper to replace the previous brand," Steve Baughn of Central Stores said. "We are testing itnow, and if we find four to five people to test it,'we can find where it works and where it doesn't."However, Salomon said it worked well in the AS printer. Western has been using recycled productsfor the past several years, Baughn said. "We've been stocking recycled products for the last 10 to 15years, and we are happy to do it," Baughn said. Statzel said using recycled paper is important in manyways; it is not only better for the environment, but it also supports the recycling market. "It's a goodinvestment for the future. If we pollute our rivers and destroy the environment now, we will pay to clean itup in the future," Salomon said. "If we take the steps we need to now to prevent this, it will stop a lot ofdestruction and save us time and money as a society." Salomon presented the recycled paper planagain at 4 p.m. See Paper, page 6 ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS June 2,1998 Speaker says women must learn from each other ByTiffany White The Western Front Miriam Ching Louie spoke about what it will mean to be a woman ofcolor in the 21st century at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Viking Addition 5th floor as part of the weekendSisters of Color International Conference. Jennifer Kang, former teacher with the American CulturalStudies Department, said Louie works with The Women of Color Resource Center at Berkeley, focusingon women's education in a global economy. Louie has worked with women of color and communityissues for more than two decades and is involved in several movements and organizations, such asFuerza Uriida, an organization that supports laid-off Mexican factory workers. Louie began her speech by thanking SOCI for inviting her to take part in the weekend conference. "I think it is a really good timeto have an opportunity to come together as women of color to recharge our batteries," Louie said,"because there are a lot of different advances we have in our communities and work areas. "It is alwaysgood to get together and know that we are not just imagining this stuff; you are not just out there byyourself. There are a lot of other sisters that you can reach out to and teach you a lot of experiences."Louie centered her speech around what it means to be an activist for women of color in the 21st century. Being a woman of color in the 21st century means you will be busy all the time, Louie said. "That iswhat part it means to be a woman of color, is to have your toe on different sets of people, differentgroups and different movements that you are working with in this point of your lives," Louie said. "Toclarify ... you are dealing with sexism, racism, class issues, homophobia and everything â€” you willalways deal with something," Louie said. "In the women's movement, you have to deal with and figureout and choose what are the battles you want to fight, and where you want to get to." Her past as ahistory of activism involved being a member of the Third World Women's f o j | ^ ^ ||^i|pivte^';an:;6rgÂ£fti|a^ SOCJ|ifesi|ltec['. whjen J i * ^ ^ | n | | j ^ vi$|en:^^ Alliance, which was very active in the late1960s and early 1970s, she said. She involved herself in organizations that worked with the civil rights movements and groups that concerned all women's rights, such as the right to have an abortion, whichwere just legalized at that time. The issue of abortion brought up issues of women's access to medicalcare and sterilization and infant mortality in minority communities, Louie said. She used a personalexample to illustrate different struggles. She told the audience that she attended an Asian CommunityService Conference in Los Angeles and was planning to attend another conference concerning humanrights struggles. "I'm not just one person, not a special person, but I think that indicates howcomplicated our lives are as women of color, that we are having to deal with a variety of differentmovements and struggles," Louie said. Women of color in the 21st century will also have to have aglobal perspective, Louie said. "It is an important experience to be able to step outside of your cornerand interact with the rest of the world," she said. Louie referred to the United Nations Decade of Women meetings from 1975 to 1985 as an example of women coming together to discuss global issues. TheBeijing Women's Conference also served as .an opportunity for women to gather and discuss issuessuch as homelessness and migrant workers' rights, and form round tables of women of Front/ErinFredrichs Miriam Ching Louie spoke Saturday at the conference. color organizations, Louie said. Thetwo issues that affect women are human rights issues and the impact of the global economy, Louie said. Overall, Louie said, "... the consciousness of U.S. women around economic issues is really low." TheWomen's Resource Center at Berkeley are working with an educational project to raise consciousness of global issues. "A lot of things that impact the women of color of the United States is part of a globalmodel," Louie said. The center's global project takes main documents of issues and creates aneducation-in-global- economy workbook for high school curriculum. The center is also working withwomen in a partnership with creative writing and poetry to try to get the story of women's lives into themedia, Louie said. The Women Resource Center in Berkeley was initially developed from the racethat emerged from the civil rights movements at that time, but also came from what was happening interms of liberation struggles in other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Louie said. The centerhas members who are "basically people who are trying to figure out ways, even though we are working in different communities, how could we come together across racial lines and to combine academicand . research work people are doing and organize it in the community," Louie said. Louie alsoemphasized that women can learn from the different movements and struggles, such as emphasis onthe environment and spirituality in the Native American Movement. "One thing we have to do aswomen is build those bridges and learn from each other and share with each other," Louie said. "Therehas been too much of a separation between with what is going on in universities and what is going on inthe community." Identity, from page 1 United States" is a large issue. "There are conflicts due to thegeneration gap," said Chan, a student at Seattle University. Chan said many of the pressures ondaughters come from their families. The daughters are to assume their rightful places within the family:to clean, cook and baby-sit â€” the old tradition style, she said. Having immigrated from Cambodia in1979 with her family, Chan said, "Many parents fear that we will turn our backs on our culture, who weare and where we came from." But, she mentioned, after entering college, she has become closer toher culture. Both Praseuthsy and Chan attended Raymond High School, a predominantly Caucasianschool, where they formed a support group for fellow female Asian students. "Each student hasissues," Chan said, adding, "the group gives those students a safe place to go to discuss the issuesthey are dealing with so they don't feel alone." "Many of the pressures push these young women intodropping out of school, getting married, or pregnant," she said. Also on the panel was Star Rush,who recently received her master's degree in English from Western. Her presentation centered aroundher thesis titled "Reconciliation; Sp(l)itting Image: A Memoir of a Vietnamese American Girlhood." Herstory dealt with the inner turmoil of being Vietnamese in America. "I feel like an American most of thetime, and the only reminder that I'm not is the alien registration card that I keep in my wallet betweenmy bank ATM and Visa card," Rush recited from her thesis. Rush spoke passionately about growingup in the United States. She entered the United States at the age of 5 with her Caucasian father andVietnamese mother during the Vietnam War. "If I do not speak, if I do not remind myself and others ofthis difference, it is too easy to disappear here, too easy to let circumstance and habit erase a partof me," she read. "I am nagged by something much deeper than my looks or my habits. Who I am runsdeeper than the color of my skin or the accent of my speech or the faint asstiredness of my memory. Itruns in my blood," she continued. Cynthia Tompkins, the final panel member, is a Women's Studiesprofessor from Arizona University. She asked the question, "How do you negotiate all of thedifferences to form an organization which is supposed to create a fair education for everyone?" Rushresponded with reference to English courses in some community colleges: "There is a segregation!" Students have to make a choice as to which English classes they would take â€” either a multicultural study or a predominantly (white) literature course, she said. "Most people select a class to see-themselves. That's why we read â€” to find ourselves ... people like us!" Rush said. Therefore, asegregation occurs because no one is getting a combined education of all ethnic views. AuthenticMexican Grill Take Out 360-714-9426 300 N.

Thedevelopment will be located on the site of the former Donovan Farm and will accommodate 32 single-family homes that will be clustered in triplexes and duplexes around a shared common house, said Kate Nichols, spokesperson for Bellingham Cohousing. Nichols explained that the cohousing concept isdifferent from a gated community or apartment complex because of the ideology behind thedevelopment. "It's resident driven; we make the decisions," Nichols said. "It requires a lot ofcommitment and participation." "It's an intentional community; people go into it with the idea that therewill be some sort of support from other people," she said. The group got its start about 10 years ago,Nichols said, and was inspired by cohousing developments in both Denmark and the United States.Plans for actual development have accelerated with the September purchase of the nearly six-acreDonovan building site. "We've had to change gears and organize more as a company and a business toget it developed," Nichols said. "We've just come to that point." As a result of the project acceleration,the group has recently hired Sehome Planning and Engineering, Inc. Terry Galvin, owner of thecompany, will be the project manager for the cohousing development. "Hiring Terry will have an impactin that he has the experience we need to move the project forward," Nichols explained. "It's a $4 millionproject, and none of us have done anything like it; we need that kind of professional guidance andexperience." Galvin said he is responsible for hiring engineers, landscapers and architects, in addition to working with the city to get the necessary permits for the development. "We literally manage the projectand help ensure the finances are in place and "It's a step up; we're not just building homes, butcommunity.. Terry Galvin Sehome Planning and Engineering, Inc. that the project gets built in a waythat's consistent with cohousing ideals," Galvin said. So far, about 12 families are involved with theproject, Nichols said. Seven are developing members, who each invested $20,000 in the project. Adeveloping member joining now would give $2,500. They also have five associate members,distinguished by their initial down payment of $150 each. These members receive reading materials tobecome informed about the project, while developing members become part of the business that wasformed to purchase the property. Nichols said that, regardless of membership level, each member gets a voice in the consensus decision-making format used by the group. "Participation is voluntary," Nichols said. "Someone signs and says, 'Yes, I will participate,' but the level of participation is up to them."Nichols said the consensus decisionmaking process usually involves a discussion of writtenproposals for group action and requires getting the agreement of the whole group before any action istaken. "In a sense, it's made me look at creative ways to have people in my life that I wouldn't normally," Nichols reflected. "It's a time to get really creative and look for ways to do things to meet people'sneeds." The project is designed with several unique features: parking will be on the perimeter of thecomplex to cut down on through traffic, and pedestrian pathways will provide access to homes andshared areas. "The big thing is that we will be building on less land," Nichols said. "It's not going to belike some subdivisions, where you drive in and all you see is asphalt." The triplexes and duplexes willbe built to simulate the appearance of a large single-family residence with a terrace or porch/Nicholsexplained. The shared common house will be the center of the community cluster, providing a kitchen for preparing shared meals several times per week and providing a place for meetings and groupgatherings. Shared work areas are also being considered in the plans, include a sewing room/a shop,a craft room, playground and garden, Nichols said. Front/Jesse Kinsman Kathleen Heft, spokespersonfor Bellingham Cohousing, original member Kate Nichols and her daughter Emily look over the plans forthe project. The Bellingham group is also concerned with taking measures to make less of anenvironmental impact, which means not building on two acres of the site that have been designated aswetlands. "There was another subdivision planned for this property," Nichols said. "It would've moved into the wetlands. "We're concerned about preserving the wetlands and being good stewards to the creek,"she said. Nichols explained that the clustered housing also helps conserve resources by cutting downon the number of outside walls a family has to heat. She also said the group will use more native plantsfor landscaping, with less lawn, and will preserve the older trees on the property. "It's the nature ofcohousing developments that they share a number of things â€” for instance, lawnmowers," Galvinexplained. "All that stuff, that in itself reduces the amount of consumption. I think that's a big componentof the cohousing concept." The group is also interested in using energy-efficient building materials,Galvin said. This could include readily available materials, such as sand, gravel and concrete, insteadof lumber. However, he also said these materials are in less demand than lumber and, therefore, moreexpensive. "In the short run, it's more expensive," Galvin noted. "The initial cost for material will behigher. Over the long run, it will save energy and provide a more maintenance- free development." "This isn't low income by any stretch, but the community amenities it provides far outweigh the cost itrepresents," he said. Nichols is a student and single mother of one 4-year-old daughter, Emily. "It'sreally a safer environment in the sense that there's more people looking out for the children, and peopleknow the children," Nichols said. "That also includes the elderly, or if someone gets sick or goes onvacation." When asked if cohousing might become the preferred building practice in the future, Nicholsresponded, "I don't know if it will ever become mainstream, but I think it will definitely make an impact."There is already a diversity of different living modes and habitats," Galvin said. "There are single-familyhomes, multi family homes, apartments, townhouses and trailer parks :â€” a number of ways peoplelive. This is another one â€” it's a natural progression to satisfy the human needs associated withcommunity and family." "It's a step up; we're not just building homes, but community that facilitatesgatherings, sharing and shared responsibility. It's a solid addition to what presently exists in thecommunity." "It's one of those things whose time has come â€” I feel very fortunate to work on a projectthat's so creative." WM AVAILABLE History 112, Intro, to West.

Last Monday, the Department of Justice filed what may be the largest and most far-reaching lawsuit ever filedagainst a company using the century-old Sherman anti-trust laws. Twenty states immediately followedsuit, filing their own anti-trust suits against the software giant. The Justice Department and the statescontend Microsoft is violating an agreement with the federal government made in 1994, stipulatingthat Microsoft is not to bundle its products together, something the company is doing by integratingits Internet Explorer web browser into its new Windows '98 operating system. More seriously forMicrosoft, the lawsuits contend the company has a monopoly in the software industry. But what makesthe lawsuits and surrounding issues so interesting are the close ties-between Justice Departmentinvestigation and Microsoft's competitors. Many Microsoft supporters have contended that the suitsare at the behest of competitors who simply can't keep up with Microsoft.

Under the proposed plan, classes that are currently referred to as"writing proficiency classes" would be writing unit classes, Werder said. She said the proposal wouldallow classes currently requiring writing instruction to count toward writing credits, as well as the benefit of giving practice in writing itself. The ACC has not yet acted upon the writing units proposal, said SteveRoss, chair of the ACC "One proposal has been drafted and others may be put forward next year," hesaid. Philosophy Professor Tom Downing, a member of the ACC, said, "The writing units proposal is astrong possibility for replacing the writing proficiency course, but nothing formal has come to us (theACC) yet." "Neither the ACC nor the Faculty Senate was addressing specific details of the proposal inorder to act quickly and avoid unnecessary test-taking this summer," Werder said. "There are still a lot of questions to be answered about the proposal," she said.."How much writing instruction will constitutethese writing units is the key question for the interim year." The EWC will continue working on thewriting units proposal throughout next year and then return the proposal to the ACC, which will send it tothe senate if approved, Downing said. The ACC will also be working on details of a motion the committeepassed May 26 to require a second required writing course in the GURs, he said. "The second requiredwriting course will catch us up with other state schools; the writing units will actually be over and aboveGURs," Werder said. "It's just a lot better," Hansen said. "If you have this (writing instruction) inseveral classes, it should improve writing ability." states can prove Microsoft qualifies as a monopolyunder the Sherman laws. The 100-year-old laws lay out a very complicated formula for determining amonopoly. Other business groups and free-market advocates have also contended the government isoverstepping its Jbounds and punishing MicfosOftsimpiy for being the dominantcompetitor; The lawand court standards that dictate the definition of a monopoly are murky. The courts need to decidewhether Microsoft is a benign, legal monopoly or an anti-competitive giant that actively quashescompetition through its business practices, or if it's just another software company. Microsoft is a bigcompany with a huge portion of the software market share. But is it a monopoly? Microsoft says no.The company has always contended its dominance in the ever-evolving technology field could crumblein an instant. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has said numerous times that Microsoft's dominance in can betoppled if a newer technology comes out that could replace PC operating systems. Java by SunMicrosystems is one such technology that runs programs straight off the Internet without an operatingsystem. Netscape is also in the developing stages of a similar technology. But, it is difficult to say if orwhen those technologies may be widely used and accepted by consumers. If Microsoft is judged amonopoly, the next step is to see if it is an anti-competitive monopoly. This is where the issue getsreally cloudy. The court will have to consider how much control Microsoft has over its customers, ifany, and whether it's in business deals with large companies or their pricing tactics for consumersoftware. The courts will also have to decide if Microsoft uses price gouging to quell other competitors. A recent example that could be used in proving this is Microsoft's free web browser offer. The JusticeDepartment could contend that courtesy of the History of Computing web page Microsoft is in a uniqueposition Microsoft owner, Bill Gates to do this because it has other products it sells for profit, whereasNetscape's profits come from selling its browser. The next installment will explore the ramification forboth Microsoft and the business world if the Justice Department wins this case. â€¢â€¢â€¢ pargt;erplan again at 4 p.m. Monday at the faculty senate meeting.

They see the strobe of lights flashing pure, blinding white and fire red even withtheir eyes closed. Their hearts race as the adrenaline pulses through their veins, and they wonder if theywill return. These unsung heroes are firefighters, but they don't get paid to risk their lives. It's purely apassion driven from inside â€” something that mere words just can't explain. They are volunteerfirefighters, and nothing in this world could satisfy them more. "It's a passion," says Jerry Donnelly, firelieutenant at Fire District 8, Station 5. Lt. Donnelly joined the Navy to become a paramedic and enlisted for seven years, also serving on the Navy's local fire brigade. Donnelly's passion was for fire, and hestarted the resident program on the Lummi Indian Reservation. The resident program on Lummi Island,called "Marietta" by Fire District 8, is the only full residence program in Whatcom County. Volunteerfirefighters are given free room and board to live at the station and respond to emergency calls throughout the day. Residents cook their own.meals, have their own rooms and have fire station duties. These duties include cleaning bathrooms, kitchen, living areas, and washing fire trucks and emergency vehicles..During two years without resident fire fighters, Donnelly had to fight several fires on his own. Due to poorweather conditions, back-up was slow to respond the calls, and Donnelly was becoming desperate forvolunteers. - * Finally, recruits began to show up at Donnelly's resident station. The first recruit .tomove out to the station was Robert. Terpsma. He is a certified Emergency Medical. Technician and.also works at St. Joseph Hospital as a security guard. lt;â€¢ ... _;â€¢ , "People see the lights and hearthe sirens but don't see everything that goes into being a firefighter," Terpsma said, ;,; .... ,,: ..-gt;gt;:â€¢ lt; - -â€¢ Volunteer firefighters are scheduled for two or three 24-hour shifts per week,sometimes rnpre, on top pf their current "What, this means is tha.tl.may, have, just worked a. 14-hourshift at the hospital and then will need to go to; the-station to-be on call Tor another 24 hours,"-Terpsmasaid. "But - and none of the pay the thrill and passion of it all is worth it." Fire District 8 is now filled withresidents who are willing to donate their time and energy for other people's well-being. Whatcom County has 800 firefighters^ but only 125 of the firefighters are paid. The remaining 675 firefighters are volunteers.The districts with volunteers, both full-time and part-time, respond to many of the emergencies first.Fully funded fire districts, like Bellingham's, will always be the first to arrive at calls in their areas. But inoutlying areas of Whatcom County, many of the districts are either fully volunteer or partially volunteer,and they are the first to respond to emergency call. Many of the volunteer districts are miles apart, sowhen dispatch puts a call through to the fire stations, it goes to all the stations until someoneresponds to a call. "Sometimes it can take up to 20 minutes before someone shows up; if you have hada heart-attack, that's your death sentence," said lieutenant Donnelly. "Sometimes it's really tough," saidLt. Donnelly. "People expect to get a fully funded fire department when they dial 911 for theiremergencies." Donnelly went on to explain that sometimes volunteer districts have to drive up to 22miles to respond to an emergency call. "By the time we arrive the damage is already done in thesecases â€” people WÂ®* can't understand why we couldn't be there sooner," Donnelly said. "That'swhen we have to explain that we are a volunteer district and we are trying our best to serve thecommunity." This type of situation doesn't happen on a regular basis, but it does still happen with inour community, Donnelly Volunteer firefighters receive a small -amount of gratitude; they are given $5 forevery call they respond to and $6 to keep up with their ongoing training. Kim Keck, administrativeassistant at Whatcom County Fire District 7, said a law was passed.in October of 1997, that insuresthat if a volunteer firefighter dies ihthe line of duty, his b'eneficia'ries'wiil receive $150,000 forcompensation. -â€¢ ; â€¢ '" - Volunteer fighters risk their lives each day for a pay approachingminimum wage. â€¢ :â€¢"'â€¢â€¢â€¢ â€¢ "viDEO m..

Each boat carried a team two students who carefullymaneuvered their boats around each other, adjusting the sails as they lined up in starting position. Thebeginning sailing class was practicing its first race. Hearing the shrill cry of the instructor's voicecrackling through a megaphone, the students released their boats and flew over the shimmering watertoward their destination, with their sails stretched tightly against the power of the wind. The draw ofsailing "is the wind blowing fretfully on the face and through the hair," said Miranda Seeton. "I think it'sjust fun speeding over the waves, when you are almost tipping and almost out of control," Seeton said."It's that excitement, that possibility of sailing on the edge." Seeton is a beginning sailing student thisquarter. "I've grown up on the lake, and I love the water," she said. "I thought it would be a good class totake during the afternoon to take a break from the campus scene; get out on the water and have a goodtime," she said. In one quarter, students learn the basics of sailing and receive certification by theAmerican Sailing Association. Several facilities are available for Western students interested in sailing. If students don't know how to sail, several courses are offered at Western. In the physical education curriculum, classes range from beginning sailing to instruction sailing and cost $35 per person.Keelboat lessons in Bellingham Bay are also available. Private lessons, two-hour sessions for fourdays, are offered for $35 by instructors at Lakewood on Lake Whatcom. Western student K.C.

"As everyone is getting out on the water, it's good time for me to spendsome one-one-one time with them, trying to take them to the level of perfection," he said. "Thebetter they get now, the better they can learn real tacking in sssssr^w^ advanced courses." Bodily isalso captain of the Western sailing team. The team welcomes anyone who is interested in sailing,experienced or not. The sailing team begins recruiting prospective students at the start of fall quarter.Bodily gives introductory lectures at the beginning of the season, and beginning sailors ask moreexperienced team members questions as they learn. Certified sailors may rent sailing craft fromWestern. Lakewood houses more than 50 different watercraft for student use. Anyone with campusidentification from Western, Northwest Indian College and Whatcom Community College can rent asailboat for a day, Jeff Davis said. Prices range from $2 for an Alpha/Laser sailing craft and $3 for the two keelboats, Victory 21 and Pearson 23. "But, for the sailing equipment, you do have to know how to sail and have to take an orientation and see how things are run and the parts of the boats," Davis said."There are a lot of things that need to be assembled." Orientations are offered Friday, Saturday andSunday at anytime and last about 45 minutes. "It gives people a chance to see where everything isand do a demonstration of basic skill," Davis said. Students may also find outside instruction at localsailing schools in Bellingham. Private sailing schools, such as the VMG Boating Northwest SailingSchool at Bell-haven Charters and San Seen Juan Sailing School, offer several different courses forbeginning sailors and certification by the ASA. Bellhaven Charters is located in the Squalicum HarborMall. It is owned by Russ Whitten and Western alum Tom Krabbenhoft. He was also a Western sailinginstructor and sailing team member. Bellhaven Charters offers the sailshare program. Members pay lowmonthly dues to enjoy unlimited day sailing on a 1998 36- foot-long Catalina. "It helps people get access to larger islands affordably," Krabbenhoft said. The school offers a wide range of courses for beginning and advanced sailing, with a fleet of 12 boats. The school emphasizes the utilization of peer review,feedback and critique in their teaching techniques. "Everybody gets to practice their skills withanchoring and things like that," Jackie Goodsir, charter manager, said. Standard courses include aweekend level-one course in basic keelboat sailing, which teaches basic skills such as sailingterminology, theory, docking and mooring, per-son- overboard recovery and required safetyequipment. ppii..Â» ovwnS T h e ^ ^ f()r t Re l t / A , e course is $149, with additional textbook,materials and certification costs. A basic coastal cruising course is also offered after completion ofthe equivalent of a basic keelboat course. The weekend coastal cruising course teaches skills thatinclude basic chart symbols and piloting, understanding tide and current publications, basic anchoring techniques and taking bearings and plotting positions. The course costs $199, with additional textbook,materials and certification costs. The sailing school also has advanced courses, private lessons and"cruise 'n' learns," which offer a full week of on-fhe-water training, practice and experience with theschool have had a partnership for the last five years where the university uses their facilities, such as a J-30 keelboat for sailing classes, Roger Van Dyken said. The San Juan Sailing School also has a sailingclub, where members may charter a boat for day sailing at any time and receive discounts. "We aremaking Western a member of our sailing club, meaning students will get discounts for our lessons," hesaid. Students can also receive a discount when chartering boats.

The San Juan Sailing School is also located in Squalicum Harbor and offers similar courses, using the bay and the islands as its classroom with a fleet of 15 boats. "The nice thing about taking sailinglessons in the San Juan Islands is if s a very different sailing experience," said Danielle Korneolis,Western junior and San Juan Sailing School instructor. "You really have to learn about navigation hereand your tides and currents. You've got a lot of current to deal with, different winds and rocks."

She is young and seems a little bit shy. At first glance, it issurprising to find, this young Western graduate in her chosen career. But her quiet demeanor fails to hide the confidence that breaks through her eyes, but soon it becomes apparent that she is perfectlysuited to serve and protect the campus community as a University Police officer. University Policewelcomed Officer Cari Scholl, who graduated from the Washington State Basic Law EnforcementAcademy, into the department in early February. Officer Scholl is one of many new additions to thedepartment, including recent academy graduate Lisa Aiumu; full-time, temporary officer Krista Jeret-zky; and two former University Police officers, officers Kevin Moyes and officer Steve Gatterman,who were rehired on a part-time basis, while continuing to work for the Whatcom County Sheriff'sDepartment. "It's rewarding, to see someone: cpme up through the ranks as a greencoat and then makea career of this," acting Chief Dave Doughty commented. The University Police Department has a longhistory of employing former greencoats. Doughty himself served his "time in green" from 1969 to 1973.Currently, the department employs four former greencoats: one sergeant and three officers. Schollbegan working as a greencoat in September 1996 and graduated from Western in June of 1997 with adegree in social psychology. She attributes her interest in law enforcement to former University PoliceSgt. Dave Harris. "I didn't really figure it out until I started working here," Scholl said. "I'm not going to be a huge iron fist, but I'm also not going to let anything get out of hand." Cari Scholl University PoliceOfficer "When I started actually thini ing about it and asking que! tions, he showed a lot of interes andconfidence in me and d everything he could to help through â€” showed me the pos negative." Academy life, the stress and disciplined setting often takes new recruits by surprise. It can make or break anofficer, but Scholl was prepared. "It didn't take me long to adjust to the para-military setting because Ihad friends who let me know what to expect, and the staff was very clear about what they wanted us todo and how to do it," Scholl said. "If you don't make it through that, you're gone." Out of a class of 30,two people didn't complete academy. Doughty compared the three months of academy to anacademic quarter, " but not as slow-paced as college. It is a full eight hours completely packedwith instruction, plus outside time." A typical day in the academy began when Scholl woke at 5 a.m.By 6 a.m., she was beginning the 65-mile commute to Everett, arriving at 7 a.m. At 7:30, allrecruits were inspected in uniform. "In inspection, if you forgot your nametag or had lint on your uritformor sbmetximg like that, you'd have to write in a disciplinary memo, 'This recruit will never forget theirnametag again' and name the reason why. They were very, very picky," she said. After inspection, therecruits saluted the flag and did push-ups," ... to get the blood going. The first week, we did over 100 aday. If we really screwed up, it was 200," Scholl remembered. "If one person messed up, was late, forgot something, the whole class would get push-ups. They were the ultimate punishment." The recruitsattended classes for the remainder of the day. "m the morning, for instance, we'd have a four-hour blockof criminal law; Protect then the afternoon would be l four-air block criminal on," she said. ForScholl, the highlights of academy were defensive tactics, emergency vehicle operations and control, and firearm training: " ... the hands-on instruction â€” the stuff we actually got to go out and do," shesaid. Fellow recrui Aiumu ranked the physical training as her favorite part of academy. "We had a greatdeal of defensive tactics training, as well as running as a class," said Aiumu. "I'm in better physicalshape now than I have been in years, and I'm very motivated to keep it up." "For the most part, we hadno life, though," said Scholl. "I mean, we had weekends off, but we had tests at least once a week. Itwas just like college, with midterms and finals and quizzes and papers on top of the disciplinarymemos," she said. "The standards are purposely set very, very high because that contributes tothe whole experience of being able to handle any kind of stress," Scholl said. Scholl is making herway through a 14-week field-training program, in which she will face daily evaluations on 32 different job aspects, ranging from her appearance, to relationships with other officers and citizens.

"(The race is)frustrating when there is no wind," Chamness said. "You spend a lot of time watching the water." Lastyear, the same 100-mile race took 18 hours, but. this year, it took more than 29 because of low winds,he said. The racers began in Victoria, British Columbia, sailed to Cape Flattery and returned to Victoriafor the all-day and all-night competition. "(The race) was slow but comfortable," Chamness said.The Swiftsure race is an endurance race, focusing on how long a team can race instead of how fast, hesaid. The race began early Saturday morning and ended Sunday afternoon. The nine crew membersrotated between different.positions on the boat because of the length of the race, Chamness said. Theyalso rotated sleeping. "'â€¢:''â€¢' * -;,. ' "I got about two hours ofsleep total," he said.

It's not easy knowing mysmallest infraction â€” like leaving the toilet seat up â€” could send a foot to my face faster than DennisRodman changes his hair color. Emily is a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do. When we met, she was a T.A. forthe beginning martial arts class at Western. I wanted to learn about the sport, but was too proud to looklike a fool in front of her. Now that she's not involved in the class, I get to look like a fool in front of 35other students. We practice our kicks, our punches and â€” most importantly â€” our yelling. TaeKwon Do is a Korean fighting form that consists largely of kicking and yelling. 1 figure the '... suitedup, we look like crosses between the Pillsbury Dough-back and a halfback? I admit I have learned a bit. In one session, I learned that if an opponent connects with an apchagi (front kick), I'm likely to respondwith an upchuck-ee (a less-graceful, yet more powerful move). Once these basics are mastered (e.g. wewere able to do them once without falling over), we moved on to sparring. This isn't quite "MortalKombat." No, we buried ourselves beneath chest pads, and forearm and shin guards. In addition, we gotfoam-filled helmets that resembled slightly aged jack-o'- lanterns. By the time we were appropriatelysuited up, we looked like crosses between the Pillsbury Doughboy and a Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger. Unfortunately, my fighting technique is more on the doughboy side.

The final game finished 11-8 in favor of the seasoned Pandas; the low-seeded Phundogs came back from an 8-1 halftime deficit on the field behind the Chemistry building onSunday. Hawkins DeFrance^ Biochemistry major and Phundog, said fatigue may have been a factor inthe loss. "We had three games before this one; they had a bye. We were totally tired," DeFrance said.In addition, most Phundogs had never played Ultimate Frisbee before this season. The tournament wassingle-elimination; six of eight Frisbee teams competed in the nail-biting fight for honor, pride and T-shirts. "It got pretty exciting at-the end; they scored six straight points in the last five minutes, so theygave us a scare. They really got it together," Front/Tom Degan A Phundog player nabs the Frisbee inPullin' Pandas' win. said Greg Piper, a senior Elementary Education major. In a game similar to soccerand football in passing strategies, the Pullin' Pandas are prolific at their craft. They have a seriouspractice regimen and dedicated players. Daryl Kaiser, a senior at Western, felt the sting of playingagainst tough Ultimate Frisbee veterans. "It was all right; they were pretty snotty when we played ...The Pandas play all-year round," Kaiser said. "They would run up the score. They're hard-core; they playcity tournaments and stuff." Greg Piper expounded on the ferocity of the Pandas' regimen. "We play the Bellingham team at the Belling-ham Technical College three times a week, so we get good practice. Not to sound cynical, but if s a lower level of play at (Western). A lot of people don't know all the rules, orget the gist of what the game's all about." Piper said some members of the Pandas plan to form anUltimate Frisbee club team next year at Western, which would play teams such as University ofWashington, Whitman College and many Oregon schools. The players' love of Frisbee is what makesthis tournament happen. Players call their own fouls and must rely on each other's integrity. "There'sno referee; the players officiate the game. The level of fun depends on the sportsmanship of theplayers," senior Phundog Peter Nelson said. Anthony-Cahill, a chemistry professor at Western, is the captain of the Phundogs. "I think it went fine, essentially without help of the intramural recreationoffice. Pullin' Pandas are clearly in a league by themselves." Both teams were complimentary of each others' talents and congratulated each other when it was over. Thus ends another chapter ofintramural drama â€¢â€” Ultimate Frisbee style. Sprinkles ecli Front/Tom Degan A teammatewatches as a player uses his head to help capture the title. By Catherine Anderson The Western FrontCoed intramural soccer playoffs ended this Sunday with a new bunch of happy T-shirt recipients: theSprinkles. The intramural T-shirt, a coveted item and the mark of a true champion, came to this groupafter most of its players devoted three to four years to Western's intramural program. "I worked hard forthree years and made it to the playoffs every time," Sprinkles captain Scott Numata said. "But Iremained T-shirtless until the last quarter of my college career!" The Sprinkles went 3-2 in regularseason and 3-0 in playoffs before taking the championship game Sunday against the Sundogs. "Wegot off to a great start in the first three games," Numata said. "We lost our edge in the last two games,but then we pulled it together in the playoffs; our defense stepped it up, and we didn't allow any goals."Most of the Sprinkles had played together in the fall, where they took a second-place finish. This spring,with a few new additions, the team saw it through. "It was Numata's outstanding coaching that led usto the championship," Sprinkle Matt Johnson said. "We went from an offensive-minded team, to adefense-minded team; he knows what he's talking about." The Sundogs, competing with only nineplayers, lost to the Sprinkles with a final score of 2-0. "It's a damper on the win," Shannon Scott said."But, I think we would have still beat them." The hard-earned win came in the nick of time for manySprinkles; most are nearing graduation, and none had conquered the intramural championships beforelast Sunday. "For four years, I've been busting my ass, and finally I get a ... T-shirt!" Johnson said. "Ihonestly feel like never wearing it, framing it and showing it to my grandchildren because it took me fouryears to get it!" Scott said. Western hosts Frisbee golf tourney By Erika Ahlstrom The Western FrontFrisbees whizzed through the air all over campus Sunday afternoon as disc golfers competed inWestern's first official disc golf tournament. Western senior Erik Drummond won first place, WhatcomCommunity College student Jon Streeter finished second and Western junior Chris Fabry finished third."It was a great course (because of) the trees and the landscape," said Drummond, organizer of thetournament and avid disc golfer of 10 years. "I thought the other golfers did well. Fun was the key â€”everyone had fun, I know that." Disc golfers teed-off at 1 p.m., throwing their discs from Edens Southto a basket near Old Main. The course consisted of nine baskets constructed by Streeter, and nineobjects, including various sculptures around campus. Although nine people showed up for thetournament, only seven officially competed. More would have competed, but didn't because they werereluctant to pay the $5 entry fee, Drummond said. "We would have liked to see more people. Frisbeegolfers don't like to spend money," Drummond said, adding that the disc golf course at Cornwall Park isfree and open to the public. "Disc golf is really new in Bellingham. The sport grows by word of mouth,"he said. "We want positive exposure. Those baskets are here and we need to use them â€” theyshouldn't sit locked in a garage." In two small groups, the disc golfers took turns at each hole. Manysaid the most difficult hole was number nine, where golfers had to throw their discs from the top of thestairs by the Environmental Studies Center, to the middle of the circular rock sculpture near FairhavenCollege. "(Hole nine) was pretty hairy," said Western senior Thomas Hayse, who finished sixth in thetournament. "I had to crawl into the blackberry bushes to get my Frisbee." Competitors said the windand numerous pedestrians made the course challenging. The wind often blew against the discs andknocked them over, Drummond said. "The course was really unfamiliar," Hayse said. "It was fun to havethe challenge of doing something new." "The course was very difficult â€” I just went for it, " saidWestern sophomore Bryan Decker, a beginning disc golfer. "There were some amazingly great players.There were some people throwing birdies on a regular basis." A strong, steady, level throw is importantin disc golf, Decker said. It helped to carefully judge the distance for each throw, especially for some ofthe shorter holes, in order to avoid overthrowing, Decker said. "It's always fun to play a game of golf.I'm happy to have taken third place," Fabry said. "It was a new course; it was kind of funky." "I hope that Western establishes a permanent course," Fabry said. "It'd be a benefit to disc golf enthusiasts. It's cheap, it's fun, it's a good excuse to get out and throw the disc with friends."

Maybe it was all the knot tying, or maybe itwas the cheesy outfits, but as I grew up, something about the Boy Scouts didn't seem right to me. Afterhearing of a recent California Supreme Court decision, all my questions were answered. The Californiacourt decided the Boy Scouts of America is well within the confines of the law when it excludes atheists,agnostics and homosexuals from its canoeing, campfires and sewing. I give kudos to the California courtfor upholding a perfectly rea-. sonable principle: The government has no business dealing with theinklings of private industry. As long as the kids aren't exploited for labor reasons or sold on the blackmarket, the state can stick its nose somewhere else. . But I raise a curious brow to those in the BSAwho think that such exclusions could benefit the kids in their organization in any way. Teaching kids how to live, successfully with nature is good. Teaching kids how to accomplish basic survival tasks and howto take care of themselves in the wilderness is good. But teaching kids any kind of social biaswhatsoever perpetuates what civil humans have been trying to correct for centuries. What is littleChristian Jimmy supposed to do when his best friend, little Taoist Chong, is booted from his troopbecause Chong won't pledge allegiance to the Christian deity? , . What is little Christian Jimmysupposed to do when his neighbor, little Moslem Pasha, gets canned because Pasha prays towardMecca several times daily? Is little Jimmy going to believe the pathetic excuses his troop leaders willgive him when he asks why Chong and Pasha can't be with him, or is little Jimmy going to begin to feelthat these people who are in one way or another different from him have something inher-i ently wrongwith them? Little Jimmy;wasn't born a bigot. All that was on Jimmy's mind when he popped out of hismother's womb was crying, sucking arid pooping. As Jimmy aged, his intelligence grew. He learned totalk, to walk and hopefully to control his bodily functions. Also, as he grew, someone taught him thatdifferences can be a bad thing, and Jimmy was introduced to bigotry. If this person was someone Jimmylooked up to, someone whose opinions Jimmy valued, such as a parent, relative, family friend or scoutleader, Jimmy would be inclined to believe what he was taught. : As Jimmy went through school andhopefully opened his mind to new ideas and perspectives, he began to shed some of his prejudicedteachings. But no matter how much shedding Jimmy does, he will never be able to completely unlearnthe lessons dumped on him when he was so young and so terribly naive. The Boy Scouts isn't a badorganization. Rather, it is a wonderful organization, cheesy outfits and all. It teaches kids wonderfullessons about life, nature and working together. But if the kids are taught that only a specific type ofperson is good enough to work alongside them, something needs to be changed. Camping is good, butbigotry is so, so wrong. â€” David Plakos, Managing Editor The Western Front Editor Kristen T.

Singlecopies of The Western Front are distributed free to members of the Western community. Campus needsto celebrate voices, not 'tokens' Samantha Tretheway COMMENTARY , Multicultural education is theinclusion of voices rather than the ghettoization of tokenism. Unfortunately, people of color are tokenized at Western and are not included in traditional classes at Western. : Instead, they are marginalized intoclasses such as Minority Literature and African American Literature. Not only do ghettos exist, but theyare also encouraged by the dominant society as a form of pacification. Ghettoization of education ismuch like the inner-city ghettos â€” only people whose lives are immediately connected with the ghettowant to go back. Nobody has to go if they don't want to. This university requires students to have eightcredits of cultural studies. This is tok-enization. Women and people of color are not included in "normal"classes at Western but exist as required reading in a few classes. Last weekend, Provost RolandDeLorme officially opened Sisters of Color International, a conference hosted by Western. More than 100people heard DeLorme congratulate Western on its revolutionary approach to multicultural education. He especially touted the English Department, which was primarily British Literature and a bit of AmericanEnglish before Western's multicultural revolution. Out of 81 classes offered by the English Departmentlisted in the official timetable of classes for the 1997-98 school year, only five of those classes covernontraditional material. Multicultural education is not just a Western issue, but a national issue facingeducational institutions across the country. During Victor Lewis' workshop entitled "DismantlingRacism," which packed the Viking Union Main Lounge with more than 300 people, students talkedabout multiculturalism in education. In an educational environment such as Western, where people ofcolor are marginalized into areas of "diversity," whites can refuse to hear diverse voices they may notwant to hear and may disagree with by walking out of class when something upsets them. People ofcolor can't just walk away and hide from racism â€” white people exist everywhere on this campus. "Does an educational solution exist? After 17 years as a diversity trainer and anti-racist activist, Lewis didnot speak of an easy solution. However, he did ask people to introduce themselves to each other andtalk about how racism affects their lives. Maybe a simple introduction is the first step in working against racism. Wouldn't it be nice if our educational system provided a space where all voices could beheard and validated, and students could talk to each other about issues that mattered to everybody?What is education anyway â€” the perpetuation of white truth or the search for knowledge? DeLormeadmitted when he opened the SOCI conference that Western still has a long way to go towardmulticultural education. I'm glad he could admit that; unfortunately, he's resigning. "Maybe a simpleintroduction is the first step in working against racism." letters To the Editor: As a student at Western I look to the Front for news and information that affects me. With Western's diverse population, Iunderstand that it must be difficult for the editors and reporters of the Front to satisfy the interests of allWestern students. Unfortunately, this does not explain the Front's lack of coverage of Victor Lewis andhis presentations and workshops that were held on campus last week. Mr.. Lewis is a nationallyrecognized speaker on issues regarding racism, male violence, race relations and multi-ethnicity. Togive his presence here on campus such limited coverage, not to mention the fact that the coverage wasburied on page 6, is a disgrace not only to the hundreds of people who attended his workshops anddiscussions but also to Victor Lewis himself. I am sure that many found your wonderful stories on theoffensive street preacher, whom you felt warranted a full page, and the water committee to be of greatinterest. Yet, as a student that is interested in all Western has to offer, I was extremely disappointed inthe Front's poor decision to not give Victor Lewis and his important messages the full attention that theydeserved.

NORMAL SENIORS ARE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER Dr. Nash has been chosen as one of the judges for the essay contest, which is to he held by the American School Citizenship League. This contest is open to high school and Normal seniors of the United States and to all foreign students. The subjects for this year are: "Function of Education in the Promotion of National Understanding," and "Essential Foundations of a Co-operating World." The best essay in each school will be sent to the judges. Associated with Dr. Nash in the position which he has accepted are: Charles S. Meek, Toledo, Ohio; R. M. Ogden, Cornell University: I. I.

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

These are the bel! signals in case of fire: 1 bell will ring for drill; 2 bells will mean tbe location of the. fire is in the Science Annex; -i bells, in the Main building; 4 bells, in the Training School; and 2 long bells will signal time for return to the building. Everyone take, heed to these signals. At this assembly Mr. Thompson again favored us with a selection entitled: "'America the Beautiful." WEDNESDAY-Oct. 12.

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

Indeed the story of Mr. Thompson's life is very inspirational, for he has risen so far above his affliction 1hat he is known as one of the foremost platform speakers of America. Mr. Thompson lost his eyesight shortly after his college days were over. At the time when this great misfortune overtook him, Mr. Thompson was studying to be a singer, but finding his inability to read notes a serious handicap to his success in the realm of music, he began the study of reading. Our hope, of distinction and success is born anew by meditating on the record of this marvelous man. "Lives of great men, all remind us, We can make our lives sublime." How many of us only put.forth a mediocre effort and are content with the development of perhaps 40% of our inherent possibilities. Even in normals and universities the. percentage of students who carry subjects primarily for credit and are satisfied with barely passing grades is appallingly large. Surely the ideals and s'andards of attainment of this class of students are not very high. Their idea evidently is to just "get b y . " Of course, we must, have a certain number of credits to be Juniors and Seniors and lo graduate, but should not our primary aim be self-development to the fullest possible extent and should not our studies serve as a means in attaining this worthy end? If self-development is our aim we shall not confine our study of mathematics, for instance, to the text book but shall delve, if time permits, into all phases of mathematics as a subject. Again, we shall not study primarily for diplomas, but to become strong teachers. First, seek self-development, and secondly, credits and grades. PEP Are you school spirited ? Is our student body, as a whole, school spirited ? The school spirit of any school is only the composite of the school spirit displayed by each indivchial student. Don't forget that " a chain is no stronger than i t ' s weakest link." What are you doing to the school spirit of Bellingham Normal? x\re you making it finer and stronger or you weakening the Normals' school spirit? There is only room in Bellingham Normal for students who are school spirited—who have 'pep' and. lots of it. Be that kind of a student! Put your school first and leave Bellingham feeling that the Normal is just a little better because of your influence and the support you accorded student activities while here. This season the Normal has a football team for the first time in years, o you thoroughly appreciate this fact? If you do you will come out and root for the team at the game Saturday.

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

Just browsing around is-poor policy; one never gets anywhere or knows the value of what he does get. The very best way to glean a general knowledge of books and of library usage, a necessary a set to every teacher. is to spend a litile time with each classification. This week's topic is Biography. Why should we read biography? Most of us have the idea that it's dry, hard to read, ancient; but that's the wrong impression. Why, just the other day .1 finished the biography of Jane Austin, English authoress, who became famous early in life; and it was better than fiction. To know something of the in timacies of another person's life, his trials, aims, and achievements, is to be inspired and encouraged. The best biographies are usually written by those, who esteem their subjects very hignly. Loekhart loved Sir Waiter Scott; Bos-well idealized Johnson. To read the life of one whose aims were similar to ours is to find a new frioMcl, and it is impossible to hnve too many such friends. It must be remembered also that the term "biography" includes many delightful informal letters full of the writer's personalities and containing interesting incidents of everyday life. Nearly one thousand lives are represented in our library by letters and autobiographies. The following list is especially selected for its value, interest, and variety, and is heartily recommended to everyone. The life of Thomas Edison, the most '•useful" man living in the world at the p?-esenfc time. A Life of Caviour, Italian patriot. St. Francis of Assisi. E. Grcig, the. great musician whose life was so full of purpose and sincerity. Abraham Lincoln, by Ida Tarbell. Don't finish this year without delving a little deeper into the life of this beloved leader. The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer. You students who suffer over lesson plans, take heart, for by striving and thro love of striving Alice Freeman Palmer when very young became president of YVt'llesley college. Life of Roosevelt. A timely book, of the vigor and simplicity of the great statesman. 1 A life of Helen Keeler. Booker T. Washington, the great negro leader. The Education of Henry Adams. One of the biographies that has caused moie comment than anv other of the present day. The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson. The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Life of Jane Austin. Sir Walter Scott, by Loekhart. Boswell's Life of Johnson. Head the many posters in the library which explain the ten definite calssifiecV Lions into which the books are divided and know tne general grouping of the subject matter. Jn seeking books, remember that reference books and bio graph y are to be found in north room, magazines and periodicals in the south room, and all others in the middle room. Next week's? topic will be Art. A "new book" shelf will be placed in the library soon," opposite the charge desk, and will contain the very latest additions to the library.

The books so recommended will be entirely Small can Log Cabin Maple Syrup 25c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 G-arden Street, Near Oak outside of any course of study in any department.

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

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

Such beautiful blue and white wooly blankets piled everywhere, just waiting, it seemed, to cuddle a weary chilly yhv per; and pillows, quantities of them, inviting the drowsy head, brand new chairs, there were too, and crockery. Towels draped themselves here and there.- Several rugs were on display. There may have hem curtains curious vases, stands, pictures, and many other interesting things; but one quick glance thru a partly open door could but give a bare survey. There were people iu the faculty room, also, who seemed to be fingering the wares spread by the bazaar before them- and c-hatl ing affably, no doubt, over the prices and values. One could never guess the real meaning of it all. It lt;nul to do with the furnishings for the new dormitory. The girls who are to live there may count themselves lucky in being taken care of so completely and pleasantly. The merchants who made bids for the dormitory equipment were requested to present samples which were for a period of several days placed in the faculty room under observation of the Board. Up to the present writing no bids have been finally accepted. The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash.

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

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

IS LEADS IN COMMUNITY SINGING Mr. Coughlin returns to us, brimming over with enthusiasm about the institute work accomplished at Goklcndale, Klickitat County, October 3 and 4, where he was one of the leaders. Following the Portland route, Mr. Coughlin viewed the wonderlands of the Columbia. From Maryhill the trip was completed by stages. By route of the. main highway, the stage crept up the snake-like switchback, with a 5 percent grade to an altitude of 1G00 feet, the top of the .'Klickitat Plateau. From this point the view was most interesting, including four great mountain peaks of the northwest, M.ts. Adams, Hood, Rainier and St. Helens. Arriving at Goldendale the party was cordially received. Mr. Coughlin reports having seen many former students of Bellingliam Normal at the institute. Me brings back greetings from the students and teachers: Margaret Riddle, '19-20, District ii, Goldendale, Wash. Floisc M. Dickens, '21, Pine Grove. Wash. Margaret Wells, '20-21, Husum, Wash.

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

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

The work of Allen and Arriett, two. wearers of the 3lue^ who turned in firsts where they had hot even been hoped for, gave Belling-ham the lead which Cheney could not overcome. Allen-won both the pole vault and/broad jump while Ar-nett tiurned in five points in the discus.

The calibre of the Tennis and Baseball teains is high, perhaps the best yet turned out-by the school. The baseball teain has yet to lose a conference game.

Bellingham Normal accords all honor; to her athletes and to the effort s Of Coaches Carver and Keeriey. The. feat of bringing^ ta Beilingham four out of five championships is truly a great one. The athletic successes of the year 1926-1927/will long be reniembered.

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

S-STORY TELLERS P DEBATE TEAM IS READY TO START For the past two weeks, members of the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club have contributed their talent to eight programs. They have told stories to P. T. A. meetings, local and also those of near-by communities and assisted at several assemblies and missionary meetings. From all reports the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1. This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision; so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position. Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency. The choice of a trained editor for a second term is a decided step toward a better type of school paper, a demand for which has been insistently expressed by students and faculty. B. S. N. S.

These projects will be on exhibit in room 108. BLUE AND WHITE BRING BACK THE STATE TITLE The results of the four games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had participated required all their pep and consequently they could not handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17. Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23. Normal, 44; Blaine H. S., 25.

The Bellingham affirmative team which debates Ellensbtirg here is composed of Christina. Peterson, Mildred Anderson and Lewis Arnold. The Bellingham team which goes to Cheney, consists of Rebecca Arnell, Frank D. Henderson, and Charles L. Simon son. They will be accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, debate coach, and Miss Mabel Shuey. This team expects to leave Bellingham on the afternoon train, Wednesday, February 28.

D. T. B. S. N. S. The fresh spring breezes were blowing through the open windows of the school room, and George Washington was the momentous question in hand. "Why do you think George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'." Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny, "but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him." KLIPSUN DRIVE IS STILL ON; MANY HAVE SIGNED UP. (Continued from Page One) or her shoulder to the wheel and push with all the strength of the price of one Klipsun, $2.50. OLIVER LNUERSOLL, Business Manager. Miss Keeler Boosts Klipsun. "All live, energetic, enthusiastic, and active students should support all worthwhile school activities," said Miss Keeler recently. "The Klipsun is certainly worth while and I cannot imagine any student leaving this school without one." Mr. Klemme Wo Dead Wire. •'This year's. Klipsun will be my eight-tenth," said Mr. Klemme. "I have saved one every year and I certainly do not regret it." Mr. Bond "Signs Up." "Of course I'll sign up for a iKlipsun," and Mr. Bond had affixed his signature and was off. Mr. Kibbe Values Klipsun. "I am keeping a library of Klipsuns," said Mr. Kibbe. "I value them very highly, and have tried to keep one of each issue." B. S. N. S. THAT SERIOUS LOOK. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion. B. S. N. S.- A "Billet-Doux." She was a winsome country lass, So William on a brief vacation, The time more pleasantly to pass, Essayed flirtation. And while they strolled in twilight dim, As near the time of parting drew, Asked if she would have from him A "billet-doux." Now this simple maid of French knew naught, But doubting not 'twas something nice, Shyly she lifted her pretty head Her rosy lips together drew and coyly said, "Yes, Billy—do," ~ - - And William did.

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

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

You just sit and sing and laugh While you fearfully must chaff As the audience just looks and smiles And you feel the shivers slide Along your spine inside And you wish for distant miles. It was act, act. act. Oh! all the life you lacked! You could hear the stage hands whisper, "Show some pep, make it crisper If you falter, don't come bacK." I shan't forget that night! I nearly died with fright With a soft spot where my backbone should have been. I was chokin' mad with thirst And the man who scared me worst Was the prof who heads the expression clan.

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

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs. Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple, as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature, and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth while. B. S. N. S. Fashion Show in Prospect. Miss Longley's class in Home Economics 12, is working out a group of reports on the suitability and adaptability of various types of outer garments. Varieties of tailored suits, coats, and dresses, and a wide range of more elaborate silk frocks are to be discussed and illustrated. The unit may be developed into a fashion show 'in which mannequins, dressed in these types of garments, will supplement brief reports, and which would make an interesting assembly pro-o- ram.

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

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

It seems quite natural to some of the students of the Normal to see Dr. Nash walking around the school and campus, Sunday afternoon. Miss Ke'eler and Miss Cummins en-tertaned for Dr. Nash Sunday evening by inviting in a number of his friends for a few hours of pleasant conversation. This month has been one of especial interest for the Junior High School pupils. The English work has been composed of poems and prose on Americanism. All types of patriotic forms of literature have been studied complimentary to the great men whose birthday come in February. The girls of Enger Hall enjoyed a Valentine party Saturday evening. Through the efforts of the entertainment committee everybody enjoyed an evening of games and contests, after which dainty rfreshments were served. Anyone who has old furniture to sell cheap see Miss Osborne or Miss Johnson. The 7a Nature Study class enjoyed a lecture last Monday by Mr. Phillipi. The topic upon which he spoke was "The Sun, Moon and Comets.' Friday night the Junior High School boys played a basketball game with the boys of the Jewish Sunday School. They were victorious over the Jewish \boys wth a score of 7-3.

Jvipling. The second floor of the house at 618 High Street presented an appearance over the last week-end that might easily have been mistaken for a hospital. Most of the time two of the girls were out of bed and assisting Mrs. Bowman, the house mother, as nurse. Helen Fraser and Frances Combs managed to hang over as pitients for several days, but the others went to school Monday. The Extension department is sending out letters to Washington high schools suggesting as commencement speakers, Mr. Bond and Dr. Miller. Mr. Bond, who is head of the Mathematics department^ will speaK on: "What mean ye by the Stones?" Dr. Miller, head of the Education department, will speak on "The American Spirit." Both speakers are very capable and the high schools which obtain them will be fortunate. Members of the class in Rural- School Problems, "education 25, are now presenting to the class results of their study in specific problems, which were assigned earlier in the quarter. Time is allowed for constructive criticism from other members of the class, concerning these results. Miss NelHe Wallace gave an interesting report to the Education 25 class, concerning, a course of study' in Nature Study for the rural school. - Dr. Nash Visits. Dr. G. W. Nash, former president of Bellingham Normal, who is now president of the Congregatonal Foundation of the Congregational Church, spent Sunday, February 18, in Bellingham and spoke from the pulpit of the local Congregational church. Owing to the fact that Dr. Nash spent Saturday in Portland and Monday in Seattle^ he was unable to greet the faculty and students of the Normal, for which he expressed his sincerei, regret. •Mr. Robert Caulkins and Miss Frances Farrar are to play prominent parts in "The House Next. Door," which is to be-put on by the Bellingham Players on the evenings of March 2 and 3, at the Whatcom High Schol auditorium. The Players is a new amateur dramatic organization, under the management of Victor Hoppe, of the Normal school faculty. The purpose of this organization is to develop the latent dramatic talent among the people of Bellingham. No salaries are paid to any of the actors or actresses. Wlien the new fine arts building, which is being built by James, J. Graham, is completed, the players will have their headquarters there and will hold their performances in its'assembly, hall. . In the near future the Players' expect to put on the "Return of Peter Grimm," with Mr. Hoppe in the leading role. •. — B. S. N. S — — ... RECOLLECTIONS.

A BIRD'S EYE VIEW - : FROM BACK STAIRWAY (Of tlie Faculty Party.) . A One Act Play. • Place—Edens Hall. , Time—First scene, before dinner. Second scene, after dormitory parties. About 11 o'clock. Scene I. It is Friday evening, and the dorm is in its usual Friday evening confusion, but this .evenng it is not because of a student -affair, oh no, the girls are not selfish, this is a Faculty Party. "Will they all come? Did you see those funny little kid games on the tab'o. girls? Parehesi, table horseshoe, checkers, and lots' of others. I bet they'll have' a "good time, don't you? Miss Slmey said not to disarrange the furniture, .Agnes." Scene II. The scene, and the view is changed. The girls arc back from the party downstairs, and are interested in what is going on in the social hall. No one seems to be a bit sleepy.. "Goodness, is the faculty still there? I thought they'd gone. Is there any cake left? You' go and see, no one will see you, there are some girls in the kitchen, you can find put from them. You, couldn't get any? What a shame. Listen they are dancing now. Say girls, who wants cake when we can ese tlie faculty members enjoy themselves?" 'Come. Do'ores, I've • found a good l)iace. See, .we can turn out this hall li«ht and we can see from the ba.-k stairs window." Slowly a crowd of kimonoed girls gather around the window. "Oh, look! " We can see it all. Miss Be'ton is paying the piano." "I see Miss McDonald passing out the cake. Miss ' Shuey said- it was. devil's foo-1 and angel's food." "Oh, never mind the cake. Look!

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

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

Among the speakers were Mr. Fulton, of the new Roosevelt high school, in Seattle, and Dean Spencer, head of the department of-journalism at the University of Washington. .. Joseph Asbury, of the Lincoln high school faculty in Ta-coma, was also expected to speak but was detained because of an accident which occurred on the way. Mr. 0. B.

Title—The Unexpected Reply. The lesson in picture appreciation that I observed was in splendid progress. The children were able to name at on;e every picture that was described to them. F'n-ally "The Shepherd's Star" was described to the class and everyone named it correctly.

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

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

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

Special Sunday Evening Dinner $1.25 BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE DISCUSS GIRLS' FINANCES An enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday, February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c, nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II. Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5. (Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1) $2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10. Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls. The sixth annual banquet of the Business Girls' League will be held March 24th at the Normal. B. S. N. S.

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

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

MAIL TIME Place: Any girl's hall on Normal hill. Time: Saturday morning, before 9:30. "Hasn't the mailman come yet?" is heard from behind closed doors. "If I don't get any mail today, I'll just die-e-e," Avails another woe-begone voice, the owner of which is couddled neath the covers of the bed. Every window is the place for a sentinel to watch for the first possible glimpse of the mail man. A squeal, a mad dash, confusion tells the arrival of the all-important personage. Ahs and ohs followed by a hush, tell the number of the letters. Once more, the routine of the day is at normal until two thirty, when the mail man comes once more. B. S. N. S.

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

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

JO The "Messenger" wishes every one a happy vacation and a good appetite for the Thanksgiving turkey. One of the signs of a live school is a live interest in something lively. One of the best signs, at the Normal is the enthusiasm with which the boys have taken up athletics so early in the year. The wise tell us the best qualities of man are shown when he is contesting against forces which threaten to overpower him. So some lively contests on the athletic field will develop more patriotism among both the boys and the girls than anything else possibly can. Girls, don't let the boys be the only champions of the W. S. N. S. We are glad to be able to partially outline the Bellingham Bay Lecture course for this winter: Miss Clara Morris, lecture, Jan. 5, 1901. Monteville Flowers, reading, Feb. 7, 1904.

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

Three French boys were studying a volume of Shakespeare in their own tongue, their task being to render it into English.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Specific Gravity," aphysics term that measures the ratio of mass between one substance and another, combinesphysical weight with metaphorical qualities. The metaphorical qualities of the art work suggest ananalogy between two different objects or ideas. Each of the four artists' works contain different ideas of "specific gravity." Jack Chevalier's works contain acrylic-painted scenes of Seattle with diamond-shaped wood forms which project through the painted surface. The paintings are "deceptive illusions"because one has to look closely to see if the diamond forms are physically there or just painted on. R. Allen Jensen constructed three-dimensional cube sections placed against a grid. The sectioned cube is made of sheet metal and painted paper. The weightiness of the cube against . the grid makes the cubelook like it's floating in space.

AIRPORT BROKERSCORPORATION (206) 246-6580 By Brad Roberts staff reporter If The Posies ever get as big as theband they're often compared to, Bellingham may become known as New Liverpool. The band's debut LP, "Failure," was called the equal of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul" album by Cash Box magazine, a majorrecord industry trade publication. Cash Box also claimed that "There hasn't been a better pure-poprecord produced by anyone this decade." Although The Posies have since moved to Seattle, the entire"Failure " album was recorded by Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow at Auer's house in Bellingham. The two Posies became four when bass player Rick Roberts and drummer Mike Musburger were added to the lineup. "Seattle's just got a bigger musicians pool," Auer said, explaining the move to Seattle. "Itclicked instantly," Musburger said of the first time the foursome played together. The band citesinfluences from bands like XTC, Squeeze and, yes, The Beatles. Seattle's music press, which iscurrently embracing a grungy rock sound, seems somewhat at odds with The Posies' unabashed pop.Auer noted that the two most negative reviews of "Failure" have come from Seattle publications. "Iguess it's like we don't fit into the underground because we're a little too pop, but we don't quite fit intothe mainstream because we're a little more intelligent," Auer said. "We like to seduce people a little,"Auer continued. "Some people who don't usually listen to pop are thrown a little by the sound of ourrecord." The Posies plan to record a second album soon and hope to have it finished by the end of this summer. A West Coast tour is also being considered. The band has put together a number of newsongs since expanding last May. "The new stuff has more of an Jon Auer edge," Auer said."Ithinkit'sadircct result of the fact that we didn't go record the songs right after we wrote them. Weworked them up as a band and everybody's parts have fallen in." The Posies have been contacted bysome major record labels, but are wary of instant success. "We've gotten lots of calls," Auer said, "butthe theory of this band is to not expect anything and you won't be disappointed."

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

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

Triple jumper Jerry Hopper,race walker Tony Engelhardt, sprinter Hollie Watson and distance runner Genevie Pfueller are thereturning All-Americans in Viking uniforms. "We're (Western) excited about this meet but may not bequite ready because of the weather," Western coach, Kelvin Halsell said. "We've got some outstandingathletes," Halsell said. "As far as the men go, I think our chances look really good at the district level."But, realistically, there's not much chance of our women winning district or even placing second. We'rein a rebuilding period." Sprinter Brian Estes and hurdler Kelly Susee return to pace the men's hopes.Estes set a school record at 200 meters and tied the Western mark in the 100 meters as he won bothevents at district and anchored the 4x100-meter relay team to a come-from- behind victory. Susee, adefensive back for Western's football team, captured the 110-meter hurdles crown (14.88).

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

He had no history of heartproblems, so there was basically no reason for him to die. Ramirez, a senior from Ohio, is the firstathlete whose death has been linked officially to the use of steroids. The coroner said it was his strong opinion that the use of anabolic steroids did in some way contribute to Ramirez's death. Ramireztold others before he died that he used steroids because he wanted to get big and get girls. Pick up acopy of Muscle Fitness or Flex magazine these days, and the first response from the averageAmerican is: "Those guys are on steroids." The world of bodybuilding is being swamped with the imageof men shooting up to get big. Steroids are now synonymous with bodybuild- Jeff Walker staff reporter . ing, and its use is not limited to the pros. The Food and Drug Administration commissionerestimates that 10 percent of all high school students use steroids. And steroids have already claimedtheir first casualty. Well, gang, its a shame that the youth in America are willing to flirt with danger inorder to impress girls and become more muscular. Oh, I admit that I lift weights to make myself moreattractive to the opposite sex. And I also admit that Lou Ferrigno is my idol, and I hope to someday beas big as him. But I'm not willing to chance it all by shooting up. Maybe the teens don't know howdangerous anabolic steroids are. Maybe they don't know steroids can cause physical and psychologicalside effects, among them liver and kidney disorders and tendon damage. And maybe, the educationsystem in this country hasn't done a very good job of informing students about steroids. The schools inAmerica are doing their best to inform students about AIDS, alcohol abuse and drug abuse, but they'reskipping over something that's being used in their own locker room. Why isn't information about steroidsbeing passed out with the rest of the pamphlets? Something needs to be done about steroids. Untilsomething is done, students will continue to use them in hopes of muscle growth. But in reality, thecase against steroids is the only thing that keeps getting bigger. 'Hurry, hurry, step right up'â€”Convenience store education H urry, hurry, step right up folks. Be the first to join Washington lawmakers first attempt at a 7-Eleven style of higher education. Don't be shy, son. Why don't you just step on uphere, be first in line for one of our new branch campuses. Get in while there's no waiting list.Shucks, there'll be plenty of brand new desks just waiting for you. Can't you see the writing on the wall?Heck, with the enrollment lid clamped down on those big universities, you'd even have to wait to getjust your big toe into the door, much less your body. Don't be a fool by running off to enroll in one ofthose old four-year universities. They don't even have enough money for faculty or staff; they can't offerenough courses for their majors, and they haven't goÂ£ any money for new buildings. Be smart, boy. Go where the money is being spent. Cash in on the new trend in education. Can't you Darlene Obsharskystaff reporter ^â€¢Blii^ittl see it in the stars? We're talking convenience store/ mini-mart style ofeducation. I can see it in acouple of years. We'll have gone beyond Kenmore and Bothell, further thanPierce County! There'll be clusters of mini colleges at every major intersection in big cities and littlepodunk towns throughout Washington. Just think of it. Why, we could even put in a drive throughwindow. Zip in and drop off those pesky class assignments. We could call it "Why wait for a prof? Justuse the drop." Hurry, hurry. Step right up, little lady. Don't you worry your pretty little head about theprice. Why those nice guys in Olympia don't seem at all concerned about price tags. That's it,sweetheart, move on to the front of the line. Money is no object. We can always zap another tax on thesmokers and boozers. What we can't get from the taxpayer, we'll just skim off the budgets of thethose universities and community colleges. Hey, who needs competition? Kick the big guys out of thebusiness. Lets put them under by keeping them understaffed, under budget and underen-rolled. Signup for the deal of the century. Take advantage of our "1,000 points of wisdom" special that's offered tonew students. This special allows students to sign out a cordless phone when they register.

English department needs at least five more faculty ... English departmentprofessors are too old and no longer teach energetically." I propose a creative scenario â€” oneexchange, two moves, three benefits. Everybody profits; nobody pays; problems solved! First, reprisebiology professor Don N. Williams, that "Western knows how to 'kick butt"' savant of sparkling satirebrightening the last few issues of the Front. Transfer Williams to the English department. His crisp,crunching written rhetoric could serve as the quintessential model for all those struggling students whofail writing and can't pass the Junior Writing Exam. "Bust your butt with Williams!" Second, in exchange one of those many decrepit English professors could lease himself to the biology department.

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

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