In order to present an unbiased view of the dispute, the Collegian interviewed both parties. Reports of the interviews follow: HAIGHTEXPOSES CO-CHAIRMAN "Worthless Woodward is worthless!" This brilliant statement was madeby Freddie Haight as she slaved oyer the plans for Campus day. Freddie was hesitant to makederogatory statements against Bud but she felt that the students were entitled to know the true facts. "It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't sit there behind the coffee bar all day and look important and busy! I evenfound out from Mr. Earle that he refuses to polish the spittoons in the lounge and he rinses the coffeecups in cold water! The success of Campus day depends upon me alone!" Freddie shyly admitted.Freddie also emphasized that old, comfortable clothing was to be worn for Campus day. The theme isBeachcomber and students are urged to let their imaginations run wild. Slacks, pedal pushers andsimilar attire will be appropriate. The dance is following the same theme so the same clothes will fit innicely. WOODWARD FIGHTS BACK In a statement, made in the privacy of the lounge, BudWoodward expressed his opinion of his co-chairman, Freddie Haight. He stated that from hisobservations Freddie^ spent all her time slopping up coffee and rushing from one building to anothertrying to look busy. To illustrate the poor cooperation of his co-chairman, Woodward stated that Freddierefused to participate in the beard growing contest, her excuse being that she did not want to win thefirst prize. "The success of Campus day depends upon me only," Bud concluded. In an additionalstatement, Woodward announced that tickets for the Campus day Mnch would be on sale nextMonday and Tuesday. Tickets will not be on sale on Campus day, and Woodward advises students tobuy their tickets early lt; College Band Host For Blossom Time Official host band in the parade andpageant of Bellingham's Blos-somtime Festival is again the WWC college, band.

BOARD OF CONTROL Open MeetScheduled For Budget Hearings Open hearings on the Associated Student body budget for the 1951-52college year will be held by the Board of Control Thursday evening, May 17, at 7:00 p. m. in room 219.Students are invited to attend the session, at which appropriations for student activities will be discussed. Departments submitting budget requests to President Ed Hick-enbottom this week were men's athletics, women's athletics, Collegian,- drama, and debate, with* ~~ â€”â€” administration and socialbudgets prepared by Hickenbottom. Anticipating an enrollment of ap-roximately 1,000 students nextyear, he board requested the departments to reduce their requests to two-hirds of the current year'soriginal budget. Some trimming is necessary, s the amount requested falls short ot the figure forestimated income. Approved unanimously by the board in its Wednesday session was a bill drawn up by a committee consisting of Lex Milton, Lois French, nd Paul Gillie, regarding management of thenew student lounge. The bill authorizes co-op manager Louis Earle to assume the management of helounge and to hire a full-time ssistant. Considerable discussion was de-oted to the subject of maintaining separate funds and accounts for the lounge, so as to divorce its financial operations from those of thebookstore. The question was referred to a special committee, headed by Beverly Dustin. UNIFORM PAY The 80-cent h o u r l y wage was dopted as a uniform standard for all student help employed bythe ASB. The board passed an appropriation f $130 for the purchase of pins to be awarded to membersof the Schol-rship society.

Freshmen orientation, financial control, athletics, and student governmentare special topics due for discussion by the delegates. Last year's representative to the conference,Eddie Hickenbottom, reported that these conferences are valuable for the exchange of informationabout small colleges. The idea of exchange assemblies was born at last year's conference at CPS, andhas been very effective in strengthening interschool relationships, Hickenbottom reported. WilsonNamed Vice-President; Taylor, Griffith Win Positions Dick Pedersen, Stanwood junior, was elected 1951-52 student body president in a close contest that ended at 4:00 p. m. Wednesday.

No better answer could be found for the civic shirker's question, "What differencedoes my vote make?" We join with the rest of the student body in congratulating the newly electedofficers and pledging to support them in the coming year. Participation in student government does notend at the polls: it is the responsibility of every student to work with the officers to carry out thedemocratic process of self-government. Indifference has been the general attitude toward studentelections this year, an attitude that is hard to overcome. Harry Pagels, the vice-president, did acommendable job in arousing interest in the presidential election and received fine assistance from JackYoung and George Rudes, to whom a vote of thanks is due. Watch Your Money Being Spent Claimingthe attention of every student who is concerned with how his money is spent is the problem of next year'sactivity budget, which is now being prepared by the Board of Control. To encourage student participationin the activities of self-government and to acquaint more students with the budget procedure, an opensession of he Board of Control will be held next Thursday evening at which time the coming year's budgetwill be the topic of discussion. Questions from, the floor will be invited and will be answered bymembers of the board. The time is 7:00 p. m., Thursday, in room 219. Come and see how your dollaris spent. Choir Receives Compliments From Audience Letters of praise and congratulation have been received by the college choir since its' return from a five-day concert tour of the state.

Located on the south end of campus, the experimentalcollege has occupied the third floor of the Fairhaven College building since 1968. Mortimer and Karlovitzsaid moving Fairhaven closer to the main part of campus would be mutually beneficial for both FairhavenCollege and Western. "It's a shame that the university as a whole hasn't benefited from Fairhaven'sapproach to education," Mortimer said. A few Fairhaven faculty members raised the question ofwhether closer proximity would increase interaction among the students. "My experience on othercampuses tells me that proximity does enhance communication and interaction at the student level, faculty level and program level," Karlovitz said. The main concern of the Fairhaven faculty is the desireto retain an identity. Kathryn Anderson, a Fairhaven teacher since 1972, said, "Without a space that'sclearly defined as Fairhaven College, the students are much less likely to continue their conversationsoutside the classrooms as they do now." Fairhaven students have mixed opinions on the move.Fairhaven sophomore A J. Niebel said the move would destroy the college's "community atmosphere". "When we are off on our own we can support ourselves," Niebel said. "If we get separated that feeling of community would get knocked down. I think the move is a rotten idea." Niebel said Fairhaven studentswere asked to write their comments on a large chalkboard in Fairhaven College. She said the entirechalkboard was covered with comments against the move, except for one. "There was one sarcasticcomment in favor of the move that said sorne- Mortimer thing like 'We should move to main campus and let the imperialist pigs gettjpaqe_11 Another.Fairhaven sophomore, Maria Winkler, said she heard fromseveral faculty and other students that "we're probably going to move whether we like it or not." Sheadded that most Fairhaven students are there to "escape traditional education. It's possible that weget the education that we are getting because we are isolated. That wouldn't be possible if we were partof main campus." Fairhaven senior Connie Stone believes the move will be healthy for the college. "Ithink Fairhaven's distance from main campus has been symbolically and practically detrimental," she said. Senior Dan Keegan said the move would bring Fairhaven students closer together. "HavingFairhaven closer to the rest of Western will, Ihope, alleviate some of the tensions between main campusand Fairhaven students, and hopefully give Fairhaven more space," she said. "If Fairhaven were on main campus the upper-class men would be more likely to hang out at Fairhaven College and pass on thebenefits of their experience to the younger students," he said. Originally, the school used all threefloors of the building it now occupies, plus the Fairhaven dorms in what was termed a living/learningsituation. The idea was for faculty and students to share living quarters as well as classroom space.Since then the idea has been abandoned and the need forroom has shrunk, but the college still has alarge meeting place (the auditorium) and large office/teaching spaces, which provide unique and creativelearning environments. The next formal meeting for discussing the possible relocation will be during thelast week of January or the first week of February. All interested faculty, students, alumni and staff are invited. 2010 workshop plans for state's future By Michelle Partridge assistant news editor Air pollutionand uncontrolled growth topped the list of concerns voiced by Western students and Whatcom Countyresidents at the Washington 2010 public workshop held Jan. 16 in the Viking Union Main Lounge. Theworkshop was the seventh in a series of 12 held around the state in an effort by state legislators andagencies to plan Washington's environmental future. About 125 people attended the meeting, whichfeatured speaker Katherine Fletcher of the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority. Fletcher talked aboutthe need for a comprehensive plan The Washington Environment 2010 project began in the fall of 1988,when Gov. Booth Gardner set up two committees to create a plan for the environment. The committees are made up of heads of state and federal agencies, as well as community, business, industry andenvironmental leaders. The workshops were designed to provide the committees with a list of publicconcerns. After the last workshop, the committees will create a composite plan and present it toGardner sometime next summer. Steve Walker, a Huxley graduate student who attended the meeting,said he believes the biggest benefit of Washington 2010 will be the bringing together of severalfragmented groups and agencies. "We have the ability to destroy things through our inaction," Walkersaid. "What we need is an effort to protect and preserve Washington." After Fletcher gave her speech,the large group was divided into four subgroups who then ranked in the order of importance Gardner's listof 23 threats to the state's resources. Ranking first and second on the list of threats were ambient airpollu tion and uncontrolled population growth. See 2010 on page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 19 - Page 2 ---------- Page 2 The Western Front Friday, January 19,199G Briefs Students form unusual class By Karen LaneHingston copy editor Fairhaven College is sponsoring a quarter-long experiment to test common ideasand seek ways to change misconceptions, such as sexual and racial biases. The program, called"Canons in Conflict," will include forums presented by Fairhaven faculty, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.each weekday at Fairhaven College. All students are welcome to attend the forums. A canon, as usedby the Fairhaven program, refers to a set of laws, ideas or curriculum that can be either bad or good.The program differs from other educational curriculum in several ways. For one thing, studentsorganized the program with the help of Fairhaven faculty, said Robert Keller, a professor at FairhavenCollege. Seventy-two students are enrolled in the program for credit. During class sessions the studentsbreak up into groups of about 15 and discuss required reading and forum topics, Keller said. Anothervariation from traditional college methods is that class sessions last three hours a day, five days aweek. The students also evaluate one another and critique each other's class work. "Canons in Conflict" also will sponsor free films, coordinated with the theme, at 6 p.m. each Tuesday at Fairhaven College.Keller said the forum topics will concentrate on how ideas, or canons, change and what the mostimportant things to study are. "There are more things to study than we can learn in a lifetime, it isimportant to learn to make those choices," Keller said. New parking permits provided UW Greek boysOverdue book agitate sheep costs $4,400 The parking office re-opened the sale of commuter parkingpermits on Jan. 17 to help meet the demand for student parking. Parking office director Ann Wallacesaid about 50 quarterly permits will be sold at $ 14 a piece, and the yearly permits are $23. Studentsliving on campus without a resident parking permit are encouraged to use public transportation,Wallace said. The only way to add additional parking on campus would be to build some kind of parkingstructure, she said. But if a structure was built, the parking fees would increase drastically. Theparking office is a self-supporting department that maintains the system with funds provided by parking fees and parking tickets. King's Continued from page 1 firicka Jackson, AS vice president of academicaffairs and keynote speaker of the vigil. She added that he was a courageous and committed manremembered for a cause he so diligently worked, struggled, fought and spoke out for. In her speech,Jackson challenged the crowd of onlookers to "step in and take action towards a racially harmoniousfuture" despite the rise of unemployment and poverty, the detrimental affects of drugs, apartheid andthe recent rise of gang and racial violence. "If Martin Luther King were alive today, he'd say we have work to do,"said Jackson. "We can no longer wait. The 1990s is a decade for everyone of us to make adifference." Near the end of the candlelight vigil, students, families and other onlookers joined arm-in-arm and later lit their candles one-by-one as they sang "We Shall Overcome" in unison. A receptionimmediately followed the vigil in Viking Addition 464, where a video of King was shown. At the reception,many Bellingham residents and students had the opportunity to speak with Larry Estrada, theassistant vice president for student affairs and diversity, and President Kenneth Mortimer. Goller wasimpressed by the large turn out of people at the vigil. About 300 people attended but only 250 candleswere ordered, he said. "I really didn't appreciate the holiday until I went to the vigil," said junior DougLreton. "It was just a convenient day to catch up on homework." Two sheep were somehow involvedin a University of Washington Theta Xi Fraternity pledge initiation on Friday, Jan. 12. The campusnewspaper, The Daily, reported on Jan. 17 that the Seattle police went to the fraternity because ananonymous caller said the sheep were there. The article said police found the sheep â€” overheatedand agitated â€”with a group of young men in their underwear who were covered in white grease,peanut butter and other unidentified substances. It should be noted in past years there has been a bigpush for a Greek system at Western. UBC president declared dork Theeditors of the Ubyssey, at theUniversity of British Columbia, honored the university president, Dave Strangway, by naming him "Dork of the Past Decade." Among Stangway's crowning achievements, the editorial lists his decision to sell 28 acres of university land to real estate sharks, turning the university into a profit oriented seller oftechnology, rather than a place for the free flow of ideas. The list also includes his alienation of the gay community with some really ridiculous statements. This is what Strangway had to say about the GayGames put on by students on campus: "Why would one not participate in the normal men's athletics orthe normal women's athletics?" The editors at UBC have obviously developed a warm place in theirhearts for this man. John Booth sent his daughter to return a book to the Suzzallo Library at theUniversity of Washington last week. The book, entitled "Overproduction and Crises," was checked outon Oct. 21, 1949. The overdue fee, had it been charged on a daily basis, would be about $4,400. JohnBooth is a former UW teaching fellow who moved to Portland more than 20 years ago andinadvertently took the book with him. Bathroom se,. may end Sex has always been rampant oncollege campuses, but now students' favorite sport has taken on a new twist. Homosexuals at theUniversity of Florida have taken to meeting in public bathroom stalls on campus for discreet sexualencounters. Michael Koretzky, a reporter for The Independent Florida Alligator, at the University ofFlorida, reports that many of the men's bathroom stalls are riddled with "glory holes". These holes,drilled into the sides of the stalls, enable homosexual students and visitors to engage in oral and analsex. 'Apparently gay students on campus do not feel comfortable about coming out of the closet. Butnow these people face a new challenge â€” apparently the maintenance crew at the university islining the stalls with stainless steel panels. But steel walls or not, there's no doubt these men will finda way around this new obstacle. They have â€¢already discovered in many stalls the walls are highenough off the ground that two men can have sex underneath them.

The 'â€¢ center coordinates avariety of drug and alcohol self-help groups on campus. A variety of self-help groups dealing withalcoholism, drug addiction and dysfunctional families are being made available on campus through thedrug information office this quarter. The groups, modeled after the recovery program developed byAlcoholics Anonymous, provide an informal but structured approach to dealing with a variety of problems.. "These Twelve Step groups are not facilitated," said Dennis Dashiell, coordinator of the DrugInformation Center. "They are self-run by their members. They are usually led by an experiencedmember of that particular Twelve Step group who knows how the Twelve Steps work." The meetings dealwith problems ranging from alcoholism to helping heal children from dysfunctional families. Dashiell saidthe meetings are being offered througli a coordinated effort with the Substance Abuse Prevention Centerand the Counseling Center to meet a growing demand for on-campus meetings. The meetings are calledTwelve Steps, which represent an attempt by the first members of Alcoholics Anonymous to record theirown progress from uncontrolled drinking to sobriety. Since its inception it has been adapted to handle avariety of problems with a good deal of success. Elva Giddings, coordinator of the Substance AbusePrevention Center, said an increasing number of students are learning they have the need for these types of support groups. "When students come into our office wc try to help sort out their problems andusually find that they have a need for some type of Twelve Steps meeting," she said. "The groupmembers help each other stay in recovery." Members of the The Twelve Steps group support each other, which helps individuals learn to live without drugs, alcohol or to change unhealthy behavioral patterns.The meetings which are being offered are: * Alcoholics Anonymous, for individuals who want to stopdrinking. They meet from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Viking Union 460. * Al-Anon, for friends andfamily of someone who has a drinking problem. They meet from noon to 1 p.m. Friday in VU 408. *Narcotics Anonymous, for people with a drug addiction problem. This group meets from noon to 1 p.m.Friday in VU 219. * Adult Children of Alcoholics and/or Dysfunctional Families, a support and recoverygroup for people who group up in an alcoholic home or in an otherwise dysfunctional home, whereexpectations may have been unrealistic. This group meets from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday in VikingAddition 464. Giddings said Bulimics Anonymous is needed on campus but would probably have troublegetting support from potential members since they try to hide their problem so much. People .^sufferingfrom bulimia should seek help through the Counseling Center in Miller Hall 262. Giddings said the TwelveSteps apply to any problem. There are other types of meetings available in the Bellingham community,such as Overeaters Anonymous and Co-dependents Anonymous, for people who find themselvescompulsively helping others or who may be relationship "addicts." For more information about these off-campus meetings contact the Substance Abuse Prevention Center at 676-3642. 2010 Continuedfrom page 1 Fletcher said the two concerns were top priorities in the other public workshops as well.Joan Kelly, from the Department of Ecology, headed up one of the subgroups.

Many citizens blamed thv depletionof forest lands, coupled with the lack of reforestation, for the extensive damage caused by the floods.Other local concerns included global warming and ozone depletion, water pollution, and consumptive lifestyles. Walker said population growth and urbanization are especially scary to him. "I've seen theforest lands replaced by houses, roads and malls, he said. "The trend is ominous. One day we aregoing to have one city stretching from Vancouver (British Columbia) to Vancouver (Wash.)." Walkeradded that if the proposed 2010 project is to work, citizens will have to realize they will have tosacrifice some of their personal and property rights. .

About 90 percent of the increasewill be in a dozen counties bordering the Puget Sound. According to the report, 80 percent of the growthwill be in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Thurston and Kitsap counties. Fletcher said current environmental problems stretch further than just smoke stacks spewing pollutants into the air and factories depositingchemicals into streams. She said people have to stop blaming each other and start examining their ownlifestyles. "We need to move beyond finger pointing," she said. "We need to change our lifestyles.

Hundreds of paper products bear this request for consumersto do something environmentally sound. Now Greg Anderton, Associated Students vice president forexternal affairs, Beth Fries, the AS Environmental Center coordinator and several concerned Westernstudents are working on a policy proposal to get the AS to use only recycled paper. The StudentEnvironmental Action League (SEAL) started to determine how the university could switch to usingrecycled paper instead of virgin paper last quarter. "We want to use the AS as an example for the restof the university to follow," Anderton said. SEAL has encountered two obstacles in its quest for totalrecyclable paper use in the AS. The first concerns the cost of paper. Recycled paper is between 30 to40 percent more expensive than virgin paper, Anderton said. The second problem involves the contractsmany parts of the university have with Central Stores, a wholesaler that does not offer recycled paper.Counicung fox *]Jou am fouii* 734-8314 Mary Dale, M.A. WWU graduate S t u d e n t R a te 103 EastHolly, Suite 5 21 Bcllingliam National Bank Building THE MOUNT BAKER THEATRE CENTER presents Vancouver Symphony Orchestra STEWART KERSHAW, Conductor featuring the world's greatestmusic.

Recycled paper is more expensive becausemanufacturers don't have much of a demand for it. 'Tf there was a demand, it would be cheaper," he said. Anderton said in actuality it is much cheaper to make recycled paper than to go through the entireprocess of cutting down trees and taking them to the pulp mill to become paper. 13 ut since the demandis lacking, it's not economically feasible for companies to make the recycled paper. Anderton saidhe would like to see the AS bookstore offer notebooks made out of recycled paper. The goals of SEAL this quarter are to gather information about how much paper the AS uses, define the monetary andcontractual problems and gain public support for the recy-clable. paper program. SEAL has been incontact with Western President Kenneth Mortimer, who supports SEAL'S efforts. Though the figures arenot exact, the policy proposal estimates the AS uses 221 reams of paper every year in its photocopier. A ream is 500 sheets of paper. The AS pays $2.30 per ream from Central Stores. Conservatree, arecycled paper company from San Francisco, and West Coast Paper, from Seattle, quoted a ream of 100 percent recycled paper at $3 and $3.75, respectively. Anderton said these figures are rough and thatmore work needs to be done to determine exactly how much paper the AS uses and how the extra costs of using recycled paper can be absorbed.

He said if the AS can create the demand for the recycled paper, even though the costs willbe high at first, the prices will go down with the more paper the AS purchases. "Someone has to make itprofitable for companies to make recycled paper," Anderton said. Anderton, Fries and other peopleinvolved in the project will be meeting with some representatives of several west coast companies whomanufacture recycled paper on Jan. 28 to look at projected costs. Anderton expects a definite AS policyto be ready by the beginning of spring quarter.

January 19,1990 The western r-rbnt Page 5 BlOkinetic art questions mankind's role By MikeThomsen staff reporter From Jan. 12 through Feb. 10, the Western Gallery will be presentingBlOkinetic, a Collection of moving works of art by six Chicago sculptors. The exhibition wasorganized by Barry Blinderrnan of University Galleries at Illinois State University, with support from theIllinois Art Council. The exhibit includes 11 works by sculptors Wendy Jacob, Michael Paha, ThomasSkomski, Gary Justis, John Ploof and John Pakosla. "The artists in BlOkinetic use movement withallusions to human nature and the phenomena of the material world," Sarah Clark-Lan-gager, WesternGallery director said. The works are meditative, pointed, quirky and reverberate with concerns aboutpreconceptions, misunderstandings and even mistreatment of the surrounding world, Clark-Langagersaid. A plaque inside the gallery quotes Blinderrnan as saying, "In the installations of the six artists inthis exhibition, one finds the examination of biological principles not often dealt with in the realm of art: respiration, decay, plant growth and insemination." "Beyond the organic references, there are alsopsychological reverberations characterizing these works: machine as expression of culturalnarcissism, the illuminating and meditative aspects of stimulated life processes and the evocation ofhuman presence in environments of sound, light and motion." Unlike much of the kinetic art of theearly and mid- 1900s, the work in BlOkinetic goes beyond the duplication of machine images. It oftensimulates low-tech operations and nature's predictable and unpredictable ways. One example of thisis an untitled 1988 work by Jacob. It is made out of 14 semicircular black rubber objects, most ofwhich "breathe" rhythmically by inflating and deflating. Clicks and whirs of motors and timingmechanisms contrast with the breathing action and floor level lights that shine on the objects, castingwall shadows that rise and fall in unison with each "breath." A work by Paha called "Nature's Detail"consists of five glass boxes with steeped tops. The boxes, from left to right are consecutively placedlower than the previous one and are filled with different things: water and melting ice chunks, dirt andgrass, rocks and sand, sand, water. The piece is designed to show the details and intricate workings ofnatural systems. It communicates the way water and gravity influence the Earth, according to the gallery description. The piece also is described as alluding to the corollaries between nature and humanactivity. One wall-mounted piece by John Pakosta called "100 Lemon Cell (1989)" displays theelecrticity produced by citric acid (in this case, lemons). Beside the lemons is a simple volt meter that measures the electricity produced by the lemons at the push of a button. Each lemon is pierced bytwo rods, one zinc, the other copper, and wires connected to the rods add an artistic flare to the piece as they wind around the fruit on their way to the volt meter. On the floor, directly after you enter thegallery, is a large work by Thomas Skomski called "Die Stijled (1986)". This piece refers to thedistillation of water and to the Dutch artists known as the 'Stijl'. Skomski achieves this reference bysetting up 22 one-gallon clear water jugs in a square with lead pipes and plum-ming fixtures in pilessurrounding and lying between the jugs The jugs can be equated to bod ies in a communal setting, ananalogy which is supported by the fact that the human body is composed of 78 percent water. Thereflections in the jugs add to the intrigue and thought-provoking nature of this work and as the galleryexhibition continues, the jugs will begin to collect algae and change color, j These and the seven otherdisplays "invite us to reconsider our conventional thoughts about art and science and their traditionalclaims to elegance and experimentation," Clark-Langager said. She also stressed that BlOkinetic is notonly for art students to appreciate, but for biology, geology, technology and all other students as well. Western Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday. A catalog describing each work in will be available at the gallery.

Marc 'Zappa' Daniel,who does The Grange's booking, clean-up, art work, press releases and negotiating, has been thesupplier of most of the Grange's money for the last four years. Because the Grange lacks a sponsor,funding for local, national and international bands that play there has been difficult. "When the Grangeloses money, I lose money,"Zappa said. Unfortunately, Zappa can no longer afford to pay booking fees,which run at least $400, out of his own pocket. Because of the unpredictably of crowd turnout, it isimpossible to guarantee a band they will break even when they perform. Zappa said he is successfulgetting bands to perform despite the fact they might lose money. "I tell them, 'you might not breakeven but there will be some crowd turnout, and we'll give you free cookies and juice,'" Zappa said. Someof the bands that have played at The Grange include The Ducks, the Almighty Dread, Moby Grape, Kathi McDonald and Land of the Raven. The music variety ranges from folk to ethnic. The venue's large,hardwood dance floor offers plenty of room for dancing. Zappa said the Grange should have no problemmaking money because it is such a diverse place. But even on a good night, Zappa sees only a littleover 200 people. Zappa said there are many reasons for this. The Grange is located 30-40 minutes out of Bellingham, which may keep many people from making the drive. Four dollars is charged at the door,which goes directly towards paying the band, and an additional dollar is asked for a donation. Then,the Grange has to compete with other bands playing in Bellingham bars. The Grange doesn't sellalcohol so there is no liquor revenue generated. "People seem afraid to go out and see bands that theyhaven't heard of and that aren't trendy," Zappa said. See-Zappa page 10 mm By Derek Dujardin Accent editor I have a sad tale to tell. It's a story that's not for the faint of heart or soft of stomach. It's a story ofan administration that decided to impress their morals upon a generation and stopped the party atWestern. You readers of the younger years may have heard fantastic stories from seniors and graduatesabout resident hall parties that hundreds of people attended. Stories aboutresident advisers who sawkegs going up the stairs or into rooms and only asked the residents to try keeping the noise down. Thestories are true. What happened to this golden age where beer flowed freely through the residence halls? I was one of the lucky ones. I entered Western in the fall of 1985. It was a time when AIDS was just animpending speck on the horizon, taking drugs was still cool and Western was considered the top partyschool in the state. In 1984, Playboy ranked Western 49 out of the top 50 party campuses in thecountry. On weekends the hallways and the streets between the residence halls were filled withhundreds of people on high on the heady fumes of beer and sex. Going to bed before 2 a.m. wasimpossible. Now our campus has fallen silently into a dark age of sobriety. A stroll through at 12:30 a.m.Friday echoes only the faint buzz of David Letterman. In 1986,1 became Beta Hall's president. Beta hada long history of being the most notorious party dorm. The eight men in my suite, nicknamed the Phelta-Thi- Beta Boys, upheld the tradition of proudly hosting two or three parties a week. Our bathroom waswallpapered with numerous misconduct letters and documents written by our spineless resident director.To us these were our red badges of courage. We, unlike the denizens that inhabit Beta today, never went to bed before 3 a.m. unless we were passed-out or getting laid. We had funnelator, which is surgicaltubing tied to a funnel. When hoisted back and let loose the a funnelator can fling objects two or morecity blocks, perfect for waterballoon fights with Gamma Hall. If we were losing, orout of ballons, we wouldante up the stakes by launching moldy cups of yogurt or light bulbs. Sure it was irresponsible, but it wasas fun as hell. ' But then, like any orgasmic climax, there came a sinking plunge. The Office ofResidence Life busted down onus, and those like us, to the point where many students found themselves on Resident Life's, double-secret probation list. So, the parties moved off campus, and the Bellingham police busted down. Keg registration was the last nail in the partying coffin. Kegs confiscated at partiesnow can be traced to the buyer. Oh, how my heart bleeds when I look at all the freshmen andsophomores who will never experience areal toga party, or aspire to throw a broken TV set off a balconyjust to hear the sound it makes. I hate to be the one to say it, but someone must . cover the face of thecorpse. Western, once aprecious jewel in the crown of infamous party schools, is dead. Research works.

Rather than an escape from the real world, Romero offers an all, too-true look at a disturbing reality; the situation in El Salvador. Based on the true story ofArchbishop Oscar Romero, the film tracks his experience with the war in El Salvador during 1979 and1980. The film captures the difficulty and frustration of two struggles. Not only does it address thepeoples' war in El Salvador, but also one man's personal struggle with his commitment to his churchand his commitment to his people. The portrayal of the war and its effect on the people is a candidand thought provoking one. Seemingly innocent civilians are arrested and shot by soldiers throughoutthe film. Graphic portrayals of poverty are contrasted with blatant displays of wealth. DestituteSalvadoran families living amidst heaps of garbage with only a blanket for shelter and a fire in a garbagecan lid for warmth, watch as their children, clothed only in rags, wander through the rubble searchingfor food. It is a stark contrast to scenes showing members of the military and aristocracy sporting tennis rackets and sipping cocktails on the veranda of a country club. Besides the film's portrait of the war and the people of El Salvador as a whole, the movie outlines the war's impact on the archbishop, as anindividual. In the beginning, Romero is reluctant to assume his position as archbishop. He is awareof both the mounting violence between the country's people and government and of his obligation as arepresentative of the Catholic Church to remain a neutral party. He does avoid taking a stand either wayearly in the film. But gradually, as he witnesses the often gruesome and unnecessary deaths of children, friends and fellow priests, he becomes a powerful voice for the poor. In one scene late in the film,Romero informs his congregation that he has asked the United States to stop sending militaryassistance to the Salvadoran government. There are numerous events that lead Romero to his strongsupport of the people and to his opposition of the government. One of the most stirring moments ofthe film is when Romero is in prison after being arrested with a r â€” â€¢ crowd of protesters. He hearsscreams of agony coming from a nearby cell where another prisoner is being tortured. Romero,whoâ€žup to this point in the film has maintained an overall calm and collectiveness about him, grips the bars on his cell door, shakes it and cries, "Stop! In the name of God, we are human beings! Stoooooop!Outstanding performances, like this one by Julia, that bring the film to life. Although it has the potentialto be a gory and violent film, "Romero" doesn't rely on blood and guts to make its point. And as a resultthe film earns a PG rating. The film makes a clear request to U.S. viewers; Help stop U.S. military aid to El Salvador. This plea is made with the portrayal of the Salvadoran Government and its military asa group of brutally violent sadists. It is reinforced with the portrayal of the people as an impoverished andoppressed body seeking justice. The plea reappears at the end of the film when the statistics ofdeaths are shown on the screen.. "Over 60,000 Salavadoran civilians have been killed between 1980and 1989," it reads. If you attend the film in Belling-ham, the message is sent yet again when you exitthe theater. People gathered outside and handed out fliers with information of further corruption andinvitations to various protest rallies. I sat through a better portion of this film with a lump in my throat.Usually when I start to get choked up in the theater I console myself with the thought, its only a movie.The.': ^approach, of course, didn't work this time. I felt sad and angry. I felt frustrated. The film painted a bleak picture. It seemed every attempt made to challenge the government whether peaceful ofviolent Was entirely futile, not only in the film, but in the real world now. Ten years later the situationhasn't changed much. I was frustrated because I felt compelled to do something, but I didn't know justwhat. So, there I sat fighting a circular battle in my head. It was, "Don't get involved, it won't do anygood." versus, "It won't do any good if you don't get involved." Romero is playing at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.through Friday at Fairhaven's Picture Show Theatre. Hey kids! Here's a great new game to develop yourperception skills. See if you can find all 10 Kenneth P. Mortimers in this pizza!

Our journalism program sweeps regional awards. But, let's not foolourselves. These wonderful attributes doesn't make Western a paradise. Some things still suck. Here's 20 of them. 1. It sucks that you have to pay 75 cents to cash your checks at the Plaza Cashier. It even costs to cash checks from the university. 2. It sucks that we only have one cash machine. 3. It sucksthat uneven bricks in Red Square trio students.. 4. It sucks that students can no longer use the outsidelounge located on the fifth floor of Wilson library because of some damn satellite dish. 5. It sucks thatAS production never gets "decent" big-name bands to play Western. 6 It sucks that we have a decom-issioned security force which would get reprimanded trying to stop a rape. 7. It sucks that it, takes most students five years to complete a degree here. 8. It sucks that we don't have a bar on campus. 9. Itsucks that we don't have a daycare center with enough space for all the students who have children. 10.It sucks that we have so many business majors on campus. 11. It sucks that parking tickets are 10bucks. 12. It sucks that Western has no parking. 13. It sucks that you can't get good drugs on campus. 14. It sucks that Western is byilt on sandstone and swampland, which means it would be knocked flat if we ever had a decent size earthquake. 15. It sucks that there is no skateboarding allowed oncampus, due to them supposedly loosening bricks. 16. It sucks that Elvis is not a student. 17. It sucksthat Western doesn't have more ethnic minorities on campus. 18. It sucks that they don't leave Fisherfountain flowing the whole year. 19. It sucks that Wright's Triangle is no longer scrawled with graffiti.20. It sucks that Accent isn't funny anymore. Copies 2V2 EA.

We're Not Your Mother is an AS club for people who arecurious in alternative, performance oriented art forms. Old ideas are dusted off and given life, while newideas are given free reign. Art as a whole is unified. "Art in all its forms seems to be somewhatsegregated, club member George Mount said. "You have people who paint and that's it. You havepeople who strut around on stage and that's it. You have people who sit at typewriters or with an ink pen.Art as an expression of man's experience should be a united front." We're Not Your Mother has no setmembership and no one person in charge. Instead, about four or five people called the Rolling Pins, do all the administrative work, provide performance time, technical support, people and space to anyoneinterested in bringing ideas to the stage. "But that's all we'll do," Rolling Pin Jason Tromsness said."That's why we call ourselves We're Not Your Mother." The group offers a chance to anybody with adesire to become involved in art outside the mainstream. Any contribution is welcome, but the RollingPins like to look over any offerings. "But that's not to say that we wouldn't let someone come out andwatch their toenails grow as part of their performance,"Tromsness said." We do have Greg's dog, thehighlight of the show." The club needs people who know or would like to know about sound and lights.Costume designers and graphic artists are also encouraged to lend their talents. We're Not Your Motherwould also love to hear of concepts featuring videos, bands, and other technology. The primary focus ofWe're Not Your Mother is to bring thoughts from Western students, faculty and alumni into anenvironment where experimentation can expand the original concepts across the set patterns people often have of art. For example, one scene features a man engrossed by his static-filled television while avoice in the background speaks. A combination of sound, light, darkness, and movement creates asurreal image for the audience. "We're Not Your Mother is an attitude about what theater, performanceand art is," Tromsness said. "Art as an expression of man's experience should be a united front" -George Mount "Traditionally, the lights go out^ people pretend, the lights come up and you go home."Tromsness said. "Putting audiences through unconventional situations is something I'm really interestedin." In the future, We're Not Your Mother has plans to work on an elevator theater for an upcomingNorthwest Drama Conference. Another performance is planned on campus for spring quarter. The grouphopes the upcoming production will show people in all the fields of art that performance art can work."I think it's wonderful, what these guys do and what they have," member Paul Thomas said, "I really don't think there's too many things like it offered. It's very original. It's a chance for people to grow." It's a freeshow, but the performers said if a person brings flowers or macaroni and cheese they save a front rowseat.

By MichaelFlynn staff reporter The Western women's basketball team continued its winning ways over theholiday weekend rolling past Seattle University, Lewis and Clark State College and Seattle PacificUniversity. Friday's victory over SU marked Coach Lynda Goodrich's 400th career victory, but thatmilestone took a back seat to the playing of her Viking women in the last three games. The Vikingswent into Friday's game ranked 8th in the nation and squared off against SU, ranked 19th nationally. But despite an awful shooting performance, in which the Vikings shot only 38 percent from the field,Western was able to run past the Chieftains 75-59. Five Western players scored in double figures. They learned that when you're cold, the farther away from the basket you are, the colder you get. So theVikings went inside. They dominated the offensive boards and used persistent second and third efforts to get their shots to fall. Most of Western's points were scored in the key. "Lots of times when you aren'tshooting well, the rest of your game goes," guard Kerri Browitt said, who led the Vikings with 17 points."But we kept the intensity and played very good defense against a good Seattle U team." Though apesky second half SU press helped force Western into 18 turnovers for the game, the Vikings held tough and SU was able to capitalize on only a few. The Vikings were glad to be able to reward Goodrichwith her 400th victory. "We were really psyched tonight," Browitt said."We wanted to win this one forLynda." On Saturday the Vikings continued their old habit â€” winning. Playing in front of a sparsecrowd of less than 500 people, Western showed those who came their winning skill. They found theirshooting touch and kept up the intensity inside, leading nearly the whole game as they defeatedLewis-Clark State College. After going to the locker room with a 45-31 half time lead, the Vikingscame out and continued to dominate. Center. Cim Hanson led the Vi-. kings with 17 points and 11rebounds, and Alayna Keppler, Browitt and Katie Kennedy scored 13,10 and 15 points respectively.Despite 20 points from Lewis- Clark State's Traci Birdsell, Western walked away with a 82-62victory.

TheLoggers are currently 7-0 in district play and 10-5 overall. Two UPS starters from last season's teamhave returned. They are 6-foot-5-inch forward Aaron Hansen, who averages 14 points a game, and 6-foot-8-inch forwardNick Klungel. Three transfers complete the line-up, including 6-foot-4-inch guard ChrisLynch, 6-foot-2-inch guard Pat Mullen and 6-foot-8-inch center Mark Schultz. In its only meeting withUPS, last season in Tacoma, the Vikings defeated the Loggers 76-73. Western holds a series edge 56-55. "They're in first place and playing well. They have good inside strength and their perimeter peoplecompliment the inside game well," Coach Brad Jackson said. Western embarrassed the SheldonJackson University Seals in their game Thursday night in Carver Gymnasium by a score of 108-58.The Seals were, and still are, in last place with a district record of 0- 11. One of the highlights of theevening was a 'Tom Chambers dunk' by Western forward, Shawn Bovenkamp. Bovenkamp, who had13 points, was satisfied with his overall performance. "I did alright, but my shooting could of beenbetter," Bovenkamp said. He shot five of 10 from the field, including two of five from three-point land.Reserve guard John Nance was high scorer with 21 points as backup guard Terrill Hall added 14. TheTyler Anderson/ The Western Front Viking Michael Dahl, 40, pleads for the ball as a Central defenderwatches helplessly in Saturdays game. leading scorer for the Seals was guard Daniel Gresham with 28points. The Vikings led the entire game, with strong and consistent play. "We played well tonight,"Coach Brad Jackson said. "We tried to work on things we would not normally do. We did a good jobrunning the floor with fast breaks. We worked hard the entire game. 'We're starting to recognize thethings we need to do to be successful," Jackson said. "We have done a good job working at individualthings." The intimidating Viking defense held their guests to a dismal 37 per-centshooting for the game,allowing them to make only 20 of 54 attempts. The Seals also were held to three of 17 from the three-point range, for 18 percent. Another key statistic was at the charity stripe, where the Vikingsconverted on 23 of 27 free throws. The Vikings dominated the boards as well, out rebounding theiropponents 48-37. Forward Eric Schurman was the leading rebounder with 14 boards. "I am glad to beback after missing three games," Schurman said. He has been out of action since last week when hesprained his ankle. "Right now I am concentrating on being more aggressive," he added. The Westernmen's basketball team put their losing ways behind thern to defeat the nationally ranked CentralWashington Wildcats in Ellensburg Saturday night, 79-70. The Central .victory pushed the Vikings intosecond place in the district. The Wildcats had an eight-game winning streak broken with the loss. The game dropped them into fourth place in the district. Forward Todd McAllister was high scorer with 23points, and center Ed Briggs scored 19 points along with 11 rebounds. McAllister was happy withdefeating the Wildcats. "When we win, I'm happy. When we lose, I go back and see what I could have done better," he said. Western came out strong from the beginning, jumping ahead to a seven pointlead. The Vikings never trailed throughout the entire game. With 10:28 remaining in the game, the scorewas tied 58-58. Scott Carlson and McAllister combined to lead Western on a 12-3 run. CoachJackson said Briggs, Carlson and McAllister played aggressively and showed tremendous leadership. "I have been happy with myself the last couple of games," Carlson said. "I am just going to keep onworking hard and to improve my overall game." Western sunk 11 of 13 free throws during the last twominutes. Coach Jackson said the victory over Central could very well be a turning point for the Vikings."We played intense defense, and really rose to the occasion. We played the fundamentals well and hada really solid game," he said. On Tuesday the Vikings were just as consistent with their performanceagainst the Seattle University , Chieftains, leaving SU on the short end of a 73-63 score.

They won't be lounging in the sun, though; they'll be competing in one of Western's spring sports. Crew, track and field,tennis and golf teams are working their way toward a successful season after a fall and winter of hardwork. Crew women have been oh a regular workout schedule since fall. A typical week includes threedays of weight training, two days each of running stairs and aerobics and six days of rowing on LakeSamish.. "We're still getting in shape, really working hard. We have a lot of novice rowers this year.They don't know yet how hard they can go. They 're still learning their physical limits," Coach PauletteBergh said. Bergh says the workouts will change as competition approaches. "As that gets closer, wewill be doing more sprint work and less distance. We start out a little slower now to avoid peaking toosoon. I always need to keep the focus on when competition starts." The men, coached by Fil Leanderson and John 'Fuzzy' Fuchs, face a similar grueling agenda. Four days of rowing are supplemented with twodays of team off-water workouts. The week also includes individual training of up to four days of weighttraining and running hills, stairs and distances up to 12 miles a week. When racing is a little closer, themen will be out on the water six days a week. Paul Bennett, team co-captain, says the mental aspectsare just as difficult. "It's hard to get out there and do it sometimes. You'd even rather do yourhomework. You have to though, and in the spring you're glad you did," he said. Both crew teamssuffered last March when cold weather froze the small part of Lake Samish, where the shells arelaunched, making on-water workouts impossible for about three weeks. "Hopefully we won't have to dealwith that again this year," Coach Bergh said. Track and field athletes spend five days a week workingout together, with Saturdays left up to each individual. Running may be on the track or up hills and stairs. Weight training and plyometrics (specialized drills) are also part of the weekly routine. Team goalsfocus on the district championships in May. All runners set individual goals for themselves. Theathletes are encouraged to keep a 'training log' and consult with the coaches to meet individual needs."The bulk of your training should be in the winter and fall," explained Coach Kelvin 'Pee Wee' Halsell. "Asthe season progresses, the volume goes down and the intensity goes up. We have some meets inMarch, so we need to be ready to compete." Halsell emphasizes that athletes who take the sportseriously put their time in early. "At this (collegiate) level, if we don't do the fall and winter training, it'svery hard to be competitive in the spring. The people who train hard now are the ones that will do welllater." Stacie Hammermaster is training for her first season at Western, after two years of running atGreen River Community College. She agrees with Halsell's philosophy. "Winter training lets you get intocondition, so you can set goals for yourself and meet them. You can accomplish a lot more during theseason." Tennis coach Joanne Andrews has been working her athletes since October. For three weekstryouts were held, from which eight men and eight women (along with four men and one woman asalternates) were chosen. During the cold months, practices are held indoors at the Fairhaven Club.Players are working out on an individual basis for now, but practices will be held twice a week beginningin February. In March, workouts will be every day, and move back outside. "I'm trying to be flexible. I'drather have them want to work out more than less. This should be fun for them," Andrews said. "All theplayers are working hard. They're all very motivated, setting goals for themselves. This is the time in life when they will probably be playing their best tennis," she said. As competition approaches, athletes will do sprints and drills designed around certain aspects of play. "We do a lot of stop-start drills," saidAndrews. "Tennis is very anaerobic. They'll go for five to ten seconds, which is the average time for apoint, and then rest for 30 seconds. We do a lot of simulated match play. You can have the best strokein the world, but it has to hold up under the pressure of a match. Eveiything is geared around peaking atthe right time, for district competition," said Andrews. Regular competition starts in February and lastsuntil April, with an average of one or two matches a week. District finals will be held in early May. Whilegolf may not require running stairs or doing sprints, preparation is important. Coach Dean Russell alsoowns the Pro Golf Center in Bellingham. "In the past Western golfers have used the driving range outhere a lot," he said. "I'm here to help them if they need it. It's mostly up to each individual to get ready."They know what they need to do," he said. The qualifying rounds will be held in Febuary to choose theten man team. The first golf meeting will be 4 p.m., Feb. 6 at the Pro Golf Center. Men Continued frompage 11 The victory over the Chieftains was Coach Brad Jackson's 100th victory in his fifth year as thehead coach of the Vikings. Jackson reached the 100 win milestone faster than any coach inWestern history. It also marked the game that Manny Kimmie broke the scoring record of 1,436 setby Mike Franza (1969-73). Kimmie scored 15 points, putting his total points at 1,443. The Vikings tookan early lead in their game against SU. By halftune they had compiled a twelve point lead. Kimmie tookthe last two points of the half, which tied the Western scoring record. Two minutes into the second half,Kimmie put in two more points breaking the career scoring record at Western. Western constantlykept the Chieftains at a distance, leading throughout the half. SU couldn't get any closer than nine points to the Vikings.

The teams were at a disadvantage from the very beginning with the late fall of thisyear's snow. Now snow has fallen in the hills, but the obstacles still exist. The squads are still feelingthe repercussions from the late start. Try outs for the slalom and nordic teams were held a few weeksago at Mt. Baker. A total of 17 people made the team. Ski team spokesperson Brenda Andrew saidthey had rough tryouts. The snow was heavy and times were really slow, she said. Andrew said the best team members were chosen. Because of the lack of snow so far, Andrew said the teams have beenhaving a tough time getting practice time in. They are trying to work out twice a week, hopefully onMondays and Fridays. She credited the Mt. Baker Ski Area with providing a lot of assistance withpractice time. "We've really appreciated their help. They've been cooperative, helpful and just great,"Andrew said. Andrew said the team has a bright future ahead of them if things go right. "We've got astrong women's and men's downhill team this year. The whole women's team from last year is returningand they were very strong and successful last season, so hopefully, that will continue," she said. Mostof the men's team from last year is returning. 'I expect us to be really strong at the races in McCall,Idaho and if we get into the top four (places), we'll hopefully get to regionals at Mt. Bachelor," Andrewsaid.

"For the men, I think we wouldlook to Dave Sheehan, who's a senior, and then Greg Rawlings," she said." For the women, I think AlisaKask is our number one and then Michele Poche-lon." Andrew said the team needs more people incross-country skiing, especially women. She said besides a tolerance for travelling, prospectivemembers need little else. "All they need is the desire, we can give them everything else," she said witha chuckle. The lack of snow puts the teams on a busy schedule for the first few weekends in the nextmonth. A race scheduled last weekend on Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, B.C. was canceled due tolack of snow. The race has been postponed until Feb. 1. This weekend Western and Seattle Universitywill be co-hosting a race at Crystal Mountain. Hopefully the snow won't hinder the skiers any longer. Inother snow news, Mt.

That was just what theVikings needed. With 1:28 remaining in the game, Kennedy hit a 17-foot go-ahead jumper that signaledthe beginning of the end of the game for SU.

Becomingaware of a problem is the first step to dealing with it. The condition of Bellingham Bay could beconsidered a problem. Environmentalists accuse Georgia-Pacific's pulp-bleaching practices ofpolluting the bay with dioxins, which are suspected carcinogens toxic to humans and animals. Pulp mills bleach their products because they believe white sells better. We disagree. Brown is beautiful. InSweden unbleached products have reached great popularity because of recent awareness about theharms of dioxins. Though the EPA has found chlorine bleaching is the likely source of dioxins, publicawareness in America lags behind our Scandinavian buddies. Reports link dioxins to reproductivedisorders in primates and other animals. In humans, dioxins have been shown to harm both the immunesystem and the liver. In 1987 an entire British Columbia colony of herons failed to hatch a single egg.Environmentalists said it was attributed to dioxins contamination. G-P has another option to harmful pulpbleaching. Last year, the company responded to an anti-dioxins demonstration by stating they wouldchange to oxygen bleaching â€” instead of chlorine bleaching â€” if there was a consumer demand. Byusing oxygen gas in the first stage of the bleaching process, organic chlorine formation can be reduced by 50 percent. Is that enough? Why do we need white toilet paper? Companies are already offering somenon-bleached products. Products bleached only for aesthetic reasons â€” such as diapers, coffeefilters, writing paper and tampons can be a thing of the past. The ball is in our court. Timothy K.

Terror witnessed in refugee's eyesHonduran was forced to kill innocent ast year I wrote a story on Central American refugees as part of a class assignment. I did the story because I had heard there were refugees here in Bellingham". I also thought it would be a good opportunity to learn a little bit about Central America, something which Iknew little about. I had been hearing about Central America in the news, of course, but I wasn't payingattention. I didn't have the time or the energy to try and figure it all out. The story put me in contact witha 19-year-old refugee named Manuel. He claims to have fled Honduras because the military there wasforcing him to kill innocent villagers. He is afraid that if he is returned to Honduras, he will be torturedand killed. I remember the interview I had with him. We sat on a grassy school play field in a busyVancouver suburb and talked through a translator for nearly two hours. While he spoke in Spanish and as I waited for the translation, I marveled at how much he had been through and how much our lives weredifferent. He told me how he was forced into the military at age 16 and was being trained as a member ofBattalion 316, better known as the Secret Police. He talked about being taught techniques forinterrogation; how to torture information out of people. He showed me the scars on his arms hereceived for refusing to attack a village which he and others believed only contained innocent villagers.He was reluctant and embarrassed to tell me he received electric shocks on his testicles as well. Iwatched him carefully as he talked and wondered. if these things could really be true. But I saw in hishaunted eyes the terror he had known. I saw his fear. I knew without a doubt he was sincere. Manuel didnot have to tell his story to me. He had already been allowed into Canada. He was guaranteed protection. But I guess he feels his is a story which needs to be heard, or told at least. I felt empty as I drove awayfrom the interview. The translator sat silent beside me feeling the same way. We both had touchedCentral America and it didn 't feel good. I feel a sense of outrage that people can be so cruel. I feel asense of shame for belonging to a country which would have anything to do with this. Mostly I feelhelpless, knowing about these things and being powerless to change them. I don't know how I can atonemyself to Manuel or the thousands like him. How do I say I'm sorry? Castration may be a deterrent toviolence Opponents forget crime's victims Janine Parry HACK. It is my understanding that castrationhas been brought up by some of our state legislators as a possible form of punishment for sexoffenders. Good idea? As an outraged citizen, I say yes. As the potential parent of vulnerablechildren, I also say yes. And as an angry woman, I sharpen the blade. But, knife in hand, I feel it onlyrational to at least peer at both sides of this already controversial issue before taking action. Among theloudest outbursts against the castration proposal is the complaint that it clearly violates the EighthAmendment Media coverage of the debate has noted the recent ruling made by the South CarolinaSupreme Court which stated that castration was "cruel and unusual" on grounds it amounted to"mutilation." Indeed, the chemical or surgical procedure of removing testicles would be unacceptable to most males (listen to 'em groan at the thought). It is also mildly repulsive to many females whorecognize the removal of body parts as grotesque. I wonder, though, if rape victims consider the forcedinvasion of their own bodies as anything less than those same definitions of cruel, unusual andgrotesque gible sex offenders rests on the doubt surrounding its effectiveness. King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng was quoted in the Spokesman-Review as saying "it's just that there is no conclusiveevidence regarding its effectiveness." Arguments such as Maleng's center on the worry that a lack ofsex drive won't necessarily deter people who are intent on violence, be it sexual or otherwise. A validargument no doubt. But if castration stopped just one repeat offender from adding another conquest to his list or if just one potential sex crime novice thought twice about having a piece of his maleness removed,it seems that the project might be considered successful enough to validate its harshness. There areother arguments against castration. And each one has earned thousands of proponents since the firstspark of this debate. Many people say other options exist for-dealing with sex offenders; lock them away, Castration of sex offenders raises more moral and psychological concerns than most people choose todeal with. Could voluntary castration be used in exchange for shorter prison terms? Would mandatorycastration be enforced only after someone became a repeat offender? What about women sex offenders?The implications of these are frightening to say the very least. But for me, this fear is not for those towhom this barbaric punishment would be inflicted.

Think twice. Bret Lunsford, Anacortes Western students impact environment Editor: TheStudent Environmental Action League (SEAL) is a newly created Associated Students clubconcerned with the quality of life in Whatcom County. Our concerns range from industrial pollution,growth, and "progress," to the Lake Whatcom watershed and the west side of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. SEAL would also like to make a few changes on campus. We would liketo see greater student involvement in the decision making process. Particularly concerning key issues such as growth, administrative changes and the campus environment. WE WANT AND NEED TO BEINVOLVED. Although these goals may seem vague, our approach is very direct. SEAL will be a groupof student activists taking direct action. Our methods of activism may take many forms, which you canread about in our newsletter. As part of our initial campaign, we are comprising a list of environmentalproblems in Whatcom County. Of course, this includes Western's contribution. Unfortunately, Western is a wasteful institution. As an employee of the AS Recycling Center, I have seen the waste produced by students, faculty, and in particular, the administrators. I do realize administrative paperwork isvital and almost unavoidable in any government agency. However, in a time of vanishing forests andmismanaged resource agencies something must be done. We are asking President Mortimer tosupport us in asking central stores to supply 100 percent recycled paper for campus use. Such aresponse would be commended throughout the environmental and academic communities. Mortimer has the opportunity to lead us into an era of greater social and environmental consciousness. Please.Michael Bell SEAL co-founder Requirements fail university graduate Editor: The little flap over quality of education at Western has prompted this letter. Steven Hill is right and wrong, and so are Mark Gibsonand David Whistler. Quality is available at Western, but you have to look under quite a few rocks beforeyou find it. Don't expect it in GURs, either. Like many irresponsible students, I put off my GURs until the last ten minutes of my senior year. I graduated in spring of 1988. What an appalling spectacle thoseGURs were. Not only were they dull, . uninformative and overpopulated, they seemingly were taught withno regard for the students. It isn't true of all GURs, but these examples should be idiniliar to anyonewho's taken them: a physics course featured three days a week of lectures from a man with a verydifficult accent. He was funny to listen to and little else. The lab was conducted by an undergraduatephysics major who appeared to have no idea of the focus of the course. Explanations of experimentswere delivered in mumbled, unintelligible monotone by people who didn't appear to care. The samesituation existed in a biology lab, which was mercifully better organized, but no less brain dead. Duringclass lectures, the professor scribbled endlessly on an overhead projector, utterly disinterested inwhether anyone was listening. In a math class, I was greeted by a graduate student who informed usthat he was really a physics major who didn't feel comfortable teaching Math 103, buthe'd give ithisbest shot Oh boy. And I needed the course to get out. A geography course featured a similarly mealy-mouthed graduate student, who had complete control of a 200 level course, and couldn't get her voicepast the first row of the lecture hall. Disorganized and dull. Gee, I want to take more geography. In ahistory class, the professor, this time a legitimate faculty member, spent 30 minutes explaining hismethod for taking attendance. Need I goon? Why should an introductory course be the worst offering of a department? Why should it be left in the hands of people who can't handle it, just because someonehigher up would prefer to do something else? I've already said that not all my GURs were this way.Several were good, a few were excellent. But in those that I've described, I did poorly. Not because itwas impossible to do well. I could have. But I was so palpably disgusted with them that I preferred toslide through with a C and save myself some grief. I'm not proud of it. The school shouldn't be either.Sean Robinson Alumnus Biological theory batters feminism Editor: In his Dec. 8 letter, Don Williams clearly did not deal feminism a fatal blow to the ovaries, but he tried. He claims that the root of maleviolence lies in fundamental structural and chemical differences in their brains, and that evolution made them that way. Since evolution doesn't necessarily involve a plan, or even the cooperation of theorganism that is affected, he implied men have a minimally social, biochemically dictated souls, causing them to abuse others, then we lock them up. How tidy! Evolution not only formed sexually dimorphichumans, it also created our ability to choose our own behavior. However, differences in brain chemistry exists between manic-depressive or alcoholic men and healthy men. Both of the dysfunctionalconditions are known to cause violent behavior. Why can't "male violence" be a variable (genetic orbehavioral) condition? Not all men beat their wives. Some aren't even aggressive. Dr. Williams hasentrenched himself in his own profession by overemphasizing only one cause for human behavior.The rest of his letter conveyed a close-minded siege mentality. An interdisciplinary approach is neededto explain male violence. Although it is not Dr. Williams' job to defend the ramifications of hisconclusions, I am still morbidly curious to know what sage advice he would give his daughter on how to choose appropriate men. Perhaps something like, "It's evolution, dear. Just learn how to duck." PhillipBigelow Alumnus Opinion Continued from paqe 14 fear the fact that society has been driven to thisseemingly final alternative. Maybe because of its "eye-for-an- eye" theory (to quote from a previousFrontline commentary) and its brutal actuality, castration will never come under United States law. Butthe questions it raises are certainly worth careful consideration. What if the victim OR the offender was someone close to you?

Cases of Type-3 polio have shown up in southernAlberta, Canada, where it spread from the Netherlands. Health officials believe it is currently spreadingto Canada's Frasier River Valley and from there to Lynden. Traveling people carrying the virus couldspread it further. Health Officer Dr. Frank James said about 1,000 people in British Columbia and about200 in Lynden may be at risk. They are currently being examined by the Whatcom County HealthDepartment to determine if the polio virus is present. The preliminary results of the tests are expected tobe available next week. "If anyone's worried about it, they should get vaccinated," James said. "Anyonethat completed the routine series of childhood vaccinations is not at risk." About 50 percent of thecommunities involved have already been vaccinated, but "some of the members of the community don'tbelieve in vaccinations," James said. Polio spreads easily among unimmunized groups. It doesn't usually spread in well-immunized communities because the vaccine is virtually lOOpercent effective, Jamessaid. This is the first outbreak of the disease since its eradication from the United States in 1979. "Thisis kind of a big deal," James said. "The outbreak has occurred in the same community in theNetherlands, the same community in Alberta, and the same community in British Columbia (as in1979)." Polio is transmitted through contact with body waste, saliva or mucus. The threat of contractingthe virus is highest among people who have not been vaccinated. In Whatcom See POLIO, page 3Remaining presidential candidates share views and goals for Western By Lynnette Bonnema special tothe Front Western students and faculty heard speeches from two of the three presidential finalists during public forums May 17 and 19. Karen Morse, provost at Utah State, andRonald J. Henry,provost atMiami University in Oxford, Ohio, are both competing for the vacant position left by Kenneth Mortimerwho became president of the University of Hawaii in March. Morse is the first woman candidate inWestern's history. She began her career at Utah as a part-time chemistry lecturer in 1968 and movedthrough the ranks to become provost in 1981. She served on a nuclear-fusion advisory council for thegovernor of Utah after the coldfusion controversy in 1989. "I have extensive faculty experience and Iunderstand what it takes to teach as well as develop programs and interact with students," she said.Prior to being named provost at Miami in 1991, Henry, who is from Belfast, Northern Ireland was atheoretical atomic physicist. He's published over 1 lOrefereed journal articles. He also served as vicepresident for academic affairs at Auburn University in Alabama for two years. "I am well exposed to thequality of ... university Western Washington University would like to be," he said. Both candidatesemphasized the importance of a strong liberal arts education as well as diversity in the success of anundergraduate program. Morse said the most important service of an undergraduate program is to setgroundwork for future leaders and prepare students for graduate education. She said the key to helpingstudents interact is understanding diversity and faculty. should act as role models to provide diversityeducation and training to students. "I think a liberal arts education is very important. That is what givesthe strength to professional and pre-professional programs," Henry said. Henry said the benefit ofdiversity at a school is that it subjects students to different viewpoints as they encounter various types of people in the professional world. Morse said teamwork is important in all functions of a university.Sheadvocated a shared-government system in which the president should be heavily involved in thefaculty senate. "I have been very open to faculty and students, that is one of my strengths. I'm not afraidof criticism in regards to my leadership," she said. When asked how he would make classes moreavailable to students, Henry said he would increase the time period for classes to be offered. He saidoften times classes were unattainable for students at Miami because many departments scheduledclasses at the same time. "We made sure there was better discussion between the department chairsin respect to course offerings," he said. The Board of Trustees will make its final decision later thismonth or early June. liiliiiiH Photo by Matt Hulbert H i f M ^ of Viking 21 's new electric mirrors.?lÂ©iattH^ IllThem : trai IeÂ§; that WMM i a r r y i ^ gt; M a^u|rri|3nigh1 21 in a IttlilptQW $^r^l^Qtficcar race in New England. ; S the trailer by van to ;B0iÂ§^ ::Soi:-Bti^ ^t^^fQr^^$p^^^mi--Vo Western earlythe :;h:ex|:m^ing|;;:^;^ fh iadjustme^ l o a l * ^ I "Ih^ :EiieenS^ Vehicle Research[Institute; (VRI)Director Michael Seal, as she watched the van and trailer leave for the second time in 10 hours.

President Clinton hassigned the "Motor Voter" bill into law. It requires states to allow people to register to vote by mail, whenapplying for a driver's license or enlisting in the military. Clinton said the law is one less excuse forpeople to sit on the sidelines of democracy. The signing represents a major victory for congressionalDemocrats, who passed one version during the Bush administration only to have it vetoed. Criticshave said the law will encourage fraud and place financial burdens on states.

RACE: Car penalized for being a hybrid Continued from page 1Boston to meet the team on Saturday, May 22. TheViking 21 is designed to run on solar-electricpower for city-driving, but uses compressed natural gas at highway speeds. It will be penalizedbecause it is the only car in the Boston-to- Burlington, Vt. race that uses natural gas in addition tosolar power. "If we don't burn any fuel at all, there's no point in having a hybrid," Michael Seal said."What we're attempting to show is that hybrids make good sense."

Gynan was awarded a plaque and $200 at the 44th-annual Pacific Northwest Council on Foreign Languages on May 8 inEugene, Ore. When asked why he won the award, Gynan said it was probably because of hisstudents and their evaluations. "The fact that I have such good students," he said. "It's easy to be agood teacher (with the Spanish students)." "I hope they're not bored," he said. "I have been getting pretty consistently good evaluations from the students." In a later phone interview, Gynan added, "Mystudents and colleagues have been very supportive of me." Gynan, who has been teaching atWestern for seven years, said one thing he enjoys about his classes are the experiences his studentsshare with each other. "(They share) first impressions of foreign cultures, the new friends they made andthe success they had at developing laguage skills," he said, . .

He is currently researching what motivates students to learn a foreignlanguage. "Some come back from studying (a foreign language) abroad with incredible skills...somecome back speaking the same," he said. Gynan said it was interesting to see what social andpsychological factors affect students when they study and the extent to which students immersethemselves in the culture and society they're visiting. "The theories hold that those students most eagerto identify themselves with the foreign culture are the most successful language learners," he said."For that reason I strongly encourage foreign studies."

Baker Planned Parenthood 734-9095 "It's no secret that theproject had to be extended a few days," Schmidt said. He said it's not uncommon for unplannedcomplications to delay larger building construction. The biggest obstacle the construction crew of80 faced was the foundation's installation. They had problems with both the ridge's bedrock and the softsoil of the nearby soccer field. The crew had to remove 14 cubic yards of rock from the ridge - enough to fill the equivalent of 800 dump trucks. For stability in the soft soil, workers inserted 3,800 linear feet ofpilings, enough to stretch from Bill McDonald Parkway to Old Main if laid end to end. Schmidt said theproject has gone very smoothly and the building may be one of the quietest of its kind in the country."The building was designed for safety and quiet," Schmidt said. "It will be safer than Haggard Hall withthe way the air is exhausted. The building has 87 enclosed boxes called "hoods" which containcontrolled environments for chemical experiments. A microchipped sensor on the inside of the glasspartition of each hood controls air exhaust and pressure maintenance. "It's extremely quiet when thesystem's running," he said. "Students will be able to hear the lecture from across the room." Thebuilding's air conditioning also has this sensor system. This safety feature will prevent the build-up ofhazardous vapor in storage rooms. "Western is fortunate to have skilled tradesmen taking pride in theirwork," he said. Schmidt said he's seen many projects that are just thrown together in two to threedays. Bidding begins for the new biology building on June 2. Schmidt said its construction may begin in late July.

Siobhan Dhonache, writer, director and lead actress of"Raise Me High" said her play is about family relationships and the pergt; sonal discovery of sexualityand spirituality. The play is about the evolution of an Irish woman immigrant to America in terms ofher relationship with herself and her family - particularly her mother and her father, and heracceptance of her sexuality.Dhonache said. "She's pursuing her own spirituality which is notdependent upon religion." She described her lead char-ac ter, Grainne, as a spirited, strong-willed andincredibly assertive woman who is coping with her dysfunctional family. Dhonache had to step into thisrole May 16. "We've had a series of mishaps, yet we're pulling it together as a cast," the Fairhavenstudent said. "Due to unforeseen circumstances and injuries, there have been a number of recent cast changes. "One of the funny things about this is it's a work in progress," she said. "It's challenging witha constantly changing script." She said sh^ looks forward to the second week of performancesbecause her play will then run second; With this change in order, the audience: wUl have time to provide feedback for future rewrites that they wouldn't have had during intermission. "Woyzeck,? themotherplay, is an 1836 German work translated by Fairhaven student Michael Hill and directed by facultymember David Mason. Playwright Georg Buchner wrote four versions of the play before his death at theage of 23. The play's 23 short scenes keep the audience riveted. "'Woyzeck' is essentially about a manwho really can't do enough no matter how hard he tries, whether it's supporting his family or pleasingMaria (his common-law wife), the Doctor (a comedic quack), or the Captain (his commanding officer),"Hill said. Hill gives a powerful performance as Woyzeck, a man torn apart by duty, science, love andjealousy. His portrayal of Woyzeck's descent into insanity and violence mirrors Mel Gibson's recentportrayal of Hamlet. David Mason's lighting effects and stage design concepts were inspired by the artof , Carayaggio, a late Renaissance painter who contrasted light and shade, and dealt with commonpeople's themes. Mason took advantage of the parallel that Caravaggio and Buchner shared: The useof human models with dark secrets. "Michael is tremendous (in his portrayal of Woyzek)," said StaciTucker who plays the female lead of Maria. "He really puts in place those who have been displaced by society, and you have a real sense of what society would deem as his vileness and baseness. Yet inreality, you see the very humanity within him that society tries to ignore in order to justify * their behavior towards the lower classes."

This high-energy, fast-paced, two-hour production is comprised of 14performances, each lasting from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Most pieces are written, produced andperformed by Western students. Planning began this winter and will culminate in three shows thisweekend. The performances begin at 10 p.m., tonight through May 23 in PAC 199. Admission is free.Artistic director Brian Culver directed three WNYM productions and will pass the reins to co-artisticdirector Erich McElroy next year. "What the show becomes depends on the performers," Culver said."We don't know what the show is going to be until the performers get together." McElroy said he looks forward to the responsibility. "Each show is different," McElroy said. "It pretty much creates itself.We're always looking for. a different voice." The production contains a variety of oddities from singingteapots and dancing vampires to stressed-out clowns arid crowd participation. English-theater student Jason D. Martin wrote and directed "Object of Desire" â€” a humorous, thought-provoking piecepoking fun at the objectification of women through role reversals. % Three VA redneck men, played by Lyndie "The Great" Simmonds, Kate Randall and Valerie Bush, toss back a few at a bar while one man (Bush) laments his role as a male sex object. "Women just screw me and use me," complains the manduring his tirade. "They get me drunk, take me home, and make me do things." The trio then breaksinto song accompanied by a drag band (Aaron Nicholson, Brett Anderson and Michael Bajuk).Although the performers are the most visual part of the program, Culver exalts the crew members."I've always said the performers aren't the stars of the show," Culver said. "The stage crew is." Bewarned! This show may not be suitable for children. The often-abstract themes lean toward sex, violenceand political issues. The performances shock and provoke.

Aside from a few occasions, the r acting is strong and powerful.Hilda Marie Guttormsen as Becca provides a powerful display of loss. Her performance at the finaldiscovery of deceit in her relationship defines the solid feel-i ing of pain and loss at the hands of anunfaithful lover and liar. "I don't want the gifts to go to waste," exclaims Becca as she sends a glassfrom her bridal shower shattering against a wall. Hugh Harper, Amy K. Gor- 1 don, and Colleen Burkegive good performances as well. Their characters display the difficulty of trying to find love and onlyfinding despair. Jacob Sidney and Leah gt;Â£ Bosworth give solid performances of arrogance. Sidney's performance, however, seems at times a bit flat. He seems to only give across the emotion of angerbut has difficulty showing anguish. "Trust" is a powerful play and has a great deal of comedy to keepthe audience smiling. The story is more than a pretty little romantic comedy. It is a tough statementabout the pains of love and deceit. # "Trust" runs through May 22 at Old Main Theater. Yaeger notes that this play is for mature audiences arid children should not attend. Tickets are $5 for general admition and $3 students.

"Our best shots are with Jeff IHHillBB^BIII Graphic by Matt Hulbert VanKleeck in the five (thousand) â€” he's a returning All-American," Halsell said.

"For the women, our best chances are Dee (Balderson) in the discus, Kris (Maraveller) in the ten and five (thousand)," Halsell said, "and the four-by-one(hundred meter) relay and the sprint medley in that order. That depends on Brandi's (Stevenson) footwhether she runs it at all or not." Halsell said he hopes both teams place in the middle of the pack ofabout 50 competing schools.

For some Western students, aerobics is the answer. Aerobics involves a series of bodymovements such as jumping, kicking and moving the arms in coordination with the beat of music."Coordination is important. It started out as jazzercize, which is more like dancing. It started out as funâ€” to have a good time," said Angie Grizzel, aerobics instructor and Fitness Coordinator at Buchanan Towers. "It builds cardiovascular endurance," said Amy Maxwell, Director of Intramural Aerobicclasses. "Itdecreases body fatand increases your energy level because it stimulates your body'schemistry as you work out. You have to work out at least three times a week for endurance, but four orfive times a week is recommended. Someone who's been base @ caiffip,nu.

In recent years, aerobics has taken on new forms, concentrating on different goals. "There'sstep aerobics, a lower impact workout," Grizzel said. Bench step aerobics involves mostly using thearms, legs and buttocks to step up and down on a six- tol8-inch bench. The higher* the bench, theharder the workout. "It's not like running. It's gentler on the joints," Grizzel said. "It's pretty intensebecause you're using the largest muscles in your body, which gets the heart rate up." Other aerobicprograms include interval aerobics, (using hand weights during an aerobic workout) and bodysculpting, which targets muscles for greater strength. "Hip-Hop" aerobics uses the latest dance steps to raise the heart rate. While physically challenging, aerobics also serve as a stress reliever, Maxwellsaid.

How about Hayden Lake,Idaho? Towns attract stigmas through media coverage of their troubles, and when negative nationalattention is brought to a small community, the embarrassment is often hard to overcome. The way todeflect the national attention is to do away with the trouble â€” maybe even voting it away. Bremertonwas faced with such a dilemma this last week. Some students at Bremerton High School got togetherand tried to ban openly gay students from the student council. The national spotlight turned toBremerton. Students discussed the issue on "Good Morning America." Others were flown to New York to appear on "Donahue." Countless other television and radio shows dealt with the issue of the Bremertonbanning. Before national attention was drawn to the issue, student representatives approved the proposalto bar homosexuals from student council, 49-47. After national attention, the proposal was defeated by aschool-wide vote â€” 57 percent to 43 percent. "I'm proud of my school," Bremerton High School seniorSharon Cosca told The Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the May 20 edition. "This has been so embarrassing.It's been all over the news â€” all over the world." Albeit the student representatives don't account for allthe people at the Bremerton High School, something has to be behind the swing in sentiment of theschool's students. The national and international media attention could have been just enough to sendthe proposal to defeat. Had students passed the proposal, it could have been embarassing for both theschool andtht community. Both would have a stigma attached to their titles. It would be a shame to think such a proposal was voted away because it was embarrassing and not because it was discriminatory.Obviously, not all the students voted against the proposal because they thought it was embarrassing, butthe sway could have just been enough to swing the vote. Even though the national spotlight will now turnaway from Bremerton, the issue should not be dropped. Understanding and allowing for differencesbetween people leads to a better community. Bremerton High School Principal Marilee Hansen summedit up best when she told The Seattle Post- Intelligencer, "We are all surprised at the number of peoplewho supported the proposal. That's a wake-up call...(and) the vote shows we have some educating to do." â€”R.E. Dalrymple, Editor in Chief ^Ihe Western Front Editor in Chief, R.E.

Worry about planet, not gay lifestyles By Steve Arnold staff reporter About four years ago, I was just starting to realize that in addition to being farsighted, b u c k - toothed andoverweight â€” I was gay. No way, I thought. Impossible. Not this too! I recall one night in late autumn 1989. I was sitting in an Italian cafe in Pioneer Square, listening to my friend Todd tell me all aboutbeing gay. I imagined the entire restaurant could hear him discuss the details of his life. I sunk behindthe Chianti, deathly afraid someone would recognize me ... the new fag on the block. I pictured thephone at my parents home ringing later that night "Hello, Mrs. Arnold? Your son's a fag. click..." Looking back I realize I was a little paranoid, if not self-absorbed. Four years, a dozen roommates and four orfive boyfriends later, here I am, sitting in front of a computer in Bellingham writing a bitchamentary,wondering what can be said that hasn't been said, screamed or whined before. In four years, somethings haven't changed. Gay women and men still populate our world, country, city and university. Nomatter how comfortable they are or how visible or invisible they choose to be, these people are still ourteachers, siblings, parents, employers, friends and neighbors. Now it's 1993.Internation-ally,peoplearestarving,killing, raping and ecologically desecrating the planet ever more efficiently. In ourown country, urban violence, unemployment, poverty and drug and alcohol abuse plague our society.Why then, does our society choose to devote such negative energy to gay people? Who cares? Whoreally cares and why? Why must we judge a particular portion of humankind on such a small part of their lives? Do we not have better things to worry about? Our government put men on the moon in 1969, but25 years later, we still can't feed, house or give adequate health care to everyone in our country. Nowwe sit around wondering whether gay people should be in the military. Where are Our priorities?Where are our heads? So, seven years short of the 21 st century, a portion of society still remainsfixated on gay people and the things they imagine gay people do and don't do. How much longer will itbe until we are able to get over ourselves and get on with our lives? With the amount of hate and tragedy in our world, why is such a small amount of love so damned offensive? Think about it, folks. Don't staysilent about Gay Rights Recently, the Oregon Citizen's Alliance (OCA) "No Special Rights" Initiative(Measure 9) sought to amend the state constitution in order to label homosexuality "abnormal, wrong,un- Rv Maureen natural and V*â„¢â„¢ â€¢'â€¢â€¢t0 b e By Maureen discouraged md avoided." SweeneyThat measure failed, butonly special to the Front by a small margin. Since that defeat,, affiliates of theOCA are pushing for amendments in Washington, Idaho and 12 other states that would makehomosexuality unconstitutional. In response, lesbians and gays in Washington formed the Washington Citizen's for Fairness/ Hands-Off Washington Project. Sub-groups (coalition councils) are now beingformed at the county level throughout the state. The primary goal of Hands-Off is education â€”specifically regarding the use of the phrase, "special rights." The OCA would like you to believe gayrights equal special rights. That equation can be used to justify anti-gay initiatives like Measure 9 inOregon and those introduced in Washington and Idaho. The tactic is simple: Get the generalpopulation to believe that lesbian and gay people are demanding more rights. In reality though, lesbianand gay people are simply demanding equal rights, the same human rights heterosexual people take forgranted: the right to a job, a home and a family. Clever strategy. And it works. But it works only if youclose your heart and your mind. It works only if you are willing to replace compassion and commonsense with hysteria and religious fervor based on ignorance. It works only if you believe you have theright to define (divine?) for others how they should think, live, work, love and act. It works only if youalready align yourself with the nationally organized Christian Coalition (as George Bush did in the '92election by courting the support of Pat Robertson). It works only if you really believe that all of us can beneatly categorized as decent or indecent people.

With the inevitable decline in population, and possible extinction of homo sapiens â€”yes,as Jacob Barbacovi puts it â€” the "Planet will prevail long after humans' demise." The question is,however, what condition will the planet be in as the greatest industrial feast ever draws to a close?Should wecontinueon the current path until, as Edward Abbey puts it, "half the nation and half the planet becomes one smog-shrouded, desperate and sweating, insane and explosive urbanizedconcentration camp?" Should we heed the warnings of Earth Day instead, and realize thatindustrialization combined with over-consumption and over-population have set in motion forces thatwill not only bring about a degraded environment, but lead to human suffering on a scale not yet seen onthis watery orb hurling around the sun? "Nothing we can do can even come close to destroying theplanet," he said. Of course we can't literally destroy the planet, but we can destroy life on the planet,every last bit of it if we put our minds to it. I ask you, Mr. Barbacovi, is this the course that humanityshould take? Should we continue to alter and destroy the habitat that is ideally suited for ourexistence as well as other life forms? The message of Earth Day that Mr. Barbacovi calls "a misguidedone" is a call for the protection of all life forms. It is a recognition that we can destroy ourselves alongwith all other life forms, but that we would rather not pursue such a negative course of action. In thesecond to last paragraph, Barbacovi writes: "This doesn't mean that we have to forget the Earthentirely, we still have to live on it." Where else would you want to live? On the moon? On Venus wherethe temperature is more than 700 degrees Celsius? We can reduce the Earth to a place where "a smallcolony of bacteria â€” will survive somewhere." That is not the future anyone should strive for. Reducingconsumption and human population while protecting diverse habitats and species is the goal of EarthDay and the environmental movement. "We can still have Earth Day, but why not make every otherday Humanity Day?" Mr. Barbacovi, every other day is Humanity Day. As well as chainsaw day,bulldozer day, nuclear waste day, erosion day, pesticide day, herbicide day, open-pit strip mining day,oil spill day and Georgia Pacific pulp mill plant-spewing chlorine gas day. In closing, I turn once again to the words of author and self-styled agrarian anarchist Edward Abbey: "Beof good cheer, themilitary-industrial state will soon collapse."

XXII BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 NO. 19 Y There is possibly nothing as valuable to the Normal or college student and graduate as a school year book. In the case of the Klipsun each staff has tried to outstrip the preeeeding one in making the book more attractive and more representative of school life. This year's Klipsun promises to be of unusual quality and size. Pictures of the graduating students, faculty members, classes, clubs and all organizations will be one of the regular interesting features of the Klipsun. Athletics, school hikes,debates, drama, art and music will be portrayed in an exceptionally fine way. Short stories, poetry, wit and eloquence will also be very much in evidence in the Klipsun. Interesting and unusual snapshots and jokes will find a permanent home in the 1923 Klipsun. Next Monday students and teachers will be asked to sign up and pay for their Klipsun. This is the custom followed out each year. Getting out the Klipsun is a big undertaking and it is absolutely necessary that we know exactly how many Klipsuns will be needed. The price of the Klipsun is $2.50 and will just cover the cost of getting it out. The price will remain the same at all times and it will be impossible to get one at the end of the season. The publishing of the Klipsun is a co-operative undertaking and each student and teacher must do his part which is the purchasing of one Klipsun. Sign up and pay for your Klipsun Monday. If you are unable to pay for your Klipsun at that time, sign up and pay the business manager soon as possible. —Business Mgr. Klipsun. Order Your Klipsun Dock Pending. The dock at Normalstad on Whatcom Lake is not as yet built. The delay is the result of high water, which has so far made work upon it impossible. It is expected, however, that the dock will be completed before the anticipated school trip to the eighty in the spring. FRANCIS JOYNER, NOTED M I S T 10 APPEAR AT NORMAL Francis Joyner, a noted character artist, is appearing in the Normal auditorium Wednesday evening, February 14. Mr. Joyner offers a particularly interesting evening, and this number of the. lecture course is bound to be popular. "Moments With Great Actors" is a feature of Mr. Joyner's program, showing impersonations of the greatest actors: in some of their famous roles. Each character is properly costumed and the different facial makeups required are assumed with astonishing rapidity. Among these impersonations might be mentioned Sir Henry Irving as "Shy-lock," Richard Mansfield as "Cyrano de Bergerae," Sol Smith Russell as David Holmes in "A Bachelor's Romane," Leo Dietrichstein as Jen Paurel in "The Great Lover," and Lionel Barrymore as Milt Shanks in "The Copperhead." Mr. Joyner's long training on the American stage has eminently fitted him for his work. For twenty years he has ben a player of note on the dramatic stage and the motion picture screen. His first experience was gained with the well known Mr. Willard Mack, author of "Kick In" and "Tiger Rose." For four years Mr. Joyner was a member of various stock companies that Mr. Mack operated in the Middle West at Ctiteago, St. Paul, and Duluth. Then followed two seasons with a spectacular vaudeville playlet called "The Futurity Winner." Ben Greet and his Shakespearean Pastorals next claimed this player. After New York engagements under the management of David Higgins and David Belasco he entered the motion picture field. For two years he was featured in photoplays, especially written for him by Lubin Company of Philadelphia; and since then has supported such artists as Mary Pickford, Ethel Clayton, Emily Stevens, Pauline Fredrick, Mary Allison, Rubye De Remer, Francis Bushman, Mitchel Lewis, Monte Blue, Tom Moore, Lionel Barrymore. and William Farnum.

Act one is the "February Follies" of 1923, and promises to equal any you have seen on the Pantages bills. Those vVednesday, February 14, will be red-letter day in Normal history. On that day the truce, which has so far been maintained, will be ended and the first gun of the spring campaign will be fired. Ever since last September, General Rahskopf has been marshalling his forces and preparing for this event. Severe training and rigid discipline have been the order of the day in Room 308. From staff headquarters in Room 310, Gen. Rahskopf has watched with satisfaction the progress of affairs.

Experience on a school or college paper is a help, but is not necessary. What to do. Write an article containing about five hundred words. It may be a writeup of any event of current interest, in the form of either a news item or a news story; or it may be an editorial, a feature story, or a poem. Preparation of Copy.. Use paper approximately 5x8 inches and write across the long way, being sure to use double spacing. Long hand copy is acceptable if it is legible. If you can type, mention the fact. Place your copy in the Messenger box by the main entrance, on or before February 16. Criticism will not necessarily be based on the technicalities of journalism but English I absolutely is the prerequisite. The fourteen people chosen will be notified soon afterward so they can program for English 3. It is expected that a wide interest will be shown and that a very excellent staff will result. 4 VAUDEVILLE ACTS 4 1 FEB. FOLLIES OF 1923. 3. ALEXANDER, HYPNOTIST. 2. ONE ACT PLAY. 4. MINSTREL SHOW.

"I would not sell my college annual for twenty-five dollars," said Prof. Bever yesterday. "It is a complete record of my college activities, and it would be an impossibility to obtain another copy of it. My annual is something that I; shall keep always." BY After some agitation for a permanent, rather than qiiarterly, editor for the Messenger, the question was taken up for discussion by the Board of Control, last Monday. At present the entire staff, including the editor, changes every quarter. This it is argued, is not favorable to the improvement of our paper. One editor has barely become familiar with the duties of the office when a new one enters. Of course there would be exceptions, so to avoid these it nas been suggested that an editor retain the position only in case the first quartei"'s work has been satisfactory. If the term of office is lengthened the question of compensaton naturally arises. At present, the editor receives four credits for the one quarter's work, but there is a feeling t h a t credit or payment should also be received for further work upon the paper. The Board has not as yet made any definite decisions, but the matter will be considered further at the regular meet-ng next Monday. Among the many who are intereeted in this attempt at solving some of the problems of the school publication,, are Mr. Bond, Miss Sperry, Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Hoppe and all of whom, together with prominent members of the student body, have expressed themselves in favor of the plan. BLUE AND WHITE WIN FAST GAME The Blue and White basketball team handed St. Martin's college the small end of a 20-22 score, Saturday, February 3, at Lacey. Coach Carver's men started the game with a rush that ga.ve them the lead which they held until the final signal, the score being 13-7 at the end of the first half. With the beginning of the second-half, the game began to resemble football, each t e am fighting valiantly, one to obtain, and the other to maintain, the lead. During the first ten minutes of the half, St. Martins gained steadily on the Normal team, reducing the score to within one point of a tie. Thomas was easily the star of the game, registering 18 of the 29 points earned. St. Martin's team will play a return game here Saturday night, in the Whatcom gym. As a preliminary event, the Blue and White second team will t ry their luck against the Blaine high school aggregation, the' first tip-off being scheduled for 7:30: The Lacey line-up follows: Normal (29) Lacey (22) Vanderford F Stair Thomas F Soularich Hoggatt C Sullivan Keplinger G Thomas Dawson G :....

Some gentlemen, fresh from a Western tour during a call at the White House referred to a body of water in Nebraska, which bore an Indian name signifying "weeping water." Abraham Lincoln instantly rsponded: "As 'laughing water,5 according to Mr. Longfellow, is Minnehaha,' this evidently should be 'Minneboohoo.'"

Two men compose the visiting team from the Badger club, Alfred Westberg and Elvin P. Carver, both sophomores. Charles Simonson and Rank Henderson will defend the Normal. The judges are Mrs. Frances Axtell; the Rev. James Wilson, pastor of Saint James Presbyterian church, and Lester Whitmore, attorney, a University of Washington man. The Badger boys are out for victory; the Normal t e am is equally determined, and there is no doubt but t h a t a keen, snappy debate will be the result.

PENNY CO. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 9 - Page 3 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 3 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM EFFECTING EDUCATION Under the county unit plan of school administration, as proposed by Sutton of Spokane, there -would be a county board of education consisting of five members, elected from five divisions of the county. The board is required to meet four times a year, and are vested with power of general management of ail educational work, apportioning of funds, provide for the budget, approve plans and specifications for construction of buildings, approve bond issues, and direct the County Superintendent in matter of hiring of teachers. In June 1927, and whenever necessary, thereafter, the board shall appoint the county superintendent. The county superintendent, with the advice of the county board, may appoint a local board which shall have charge of local school matters. A bill has been introduced into the senate which provides for the non-partisan election of state superintendent of public instruction and superintendent of county schools. At present, prospects seem bright for the "Teacher's Retirement Fund" law, Senate bill 60. it has been introduced and is to be reported upon by a committee immediately. The bill allows a teacher to retire with $480 a year, after 30 years of teaching, fifteen of which must have been in the state of Washington. Teachers now in service may or may not join. Membership is required of all people who become teachers after the law is passed. Teach-years, $25 per year for the second ten; years. $24 per year for the second ten; and $3(3 per year for the third ten. A bill was introduced in the house this week proposing submission of constitutional amendment making it lawful to read the Bible in public schools. A bill was introduced in the senate last week which repealed the act of 1919, establishing the Centralia State Normal school. The bill provides for the sale of the site. The money will go into the general fund. B. S. N. S. ' NOTICE. Found: A sum of money in The Dell, on High street. Owner may have the same by applying to Robert Caulkins, and identifying it. —B. S. N.

They would harness the Skagit river through a great power plant, thereby producing cheaper electrical power for all puruposes. Five hundred thousand horsepower was what they felt was possible to produce, and this could be transmitted by suitable cables. Accordingly, bonds were sold, $5,500,000 raised, and the work begun. Plans called for the diverting of the entire Skagit river into a tunnel about twenty-two feet square when finished, and more than two miles in length. A diverting dam, to be constructed of suitable timbers, would serve temporarily until the permanent concrete dam could be completed. The complete plans called for a gigantic storage dam, extending from Ruby Creek, possibly into Canada—a distance of thirty miles. An enormous concrete power house, the foundations of which were to be anchored on solid bedrock, would be constructed at the western portal of the tunnel, which would terminate in three openings of penstocks. Now these are no longer merely plans —the work is actually progressing. The first one and a half years were spent in getting ready. A site was cleared for camp, trees cut clown, stumps dynamited, land levelled, and machinery installed. A smal power house, with apparatus sufficient to produce 3,000 horse power, was erected south of the camp across the river, providing electricity for the operation of machinery, street lights and buildings. To furnish power for this plant a tunnel 1,700 feet long and having a fall of 275 feet, was blasted thru the mountain from Newhalem Creek. A modern sawmill, operated by electricity, was constructed in 1920 for the use of the camp. This furnished lumber for all building purposes.. In order to carry 011 this enormous project more successfully a standard guage railroad, twenty-six miles long, extending from Rockport to Gorge Creek on the Skagit River, was constructed. A modern camp, containing more than fifty residences for family use, sixteen modern, steam-heated bunkhouses, each arranged to care for twenty-four men, with a bathhouse for every two bunkhouses • and modern sanitary conveniences, also, an excellently well equipped boarding house, have been provided for the comforts of the residents. An unusualy fine water system is in operation, and a well-stocked commissary, bakery, and butcher shop are maintained for the convenience of the people. The city provides a resident physician and hospital; also, a theater building, and reading and recreation room with branch library, the two buildings being under the direction of a welfare worker whose services are donated by the Presbyterian Church. There is a modern, elementary school maintained by the city, with about forty pupils enrolled. Two teachers are on the payroll. The building is modern in every respect, being furnace heated, and having all sanitary conveniences. Several correspondence schools are doing good work among the men. Work on the actual project was not begun until the sixteenth of December, 1921, when the first blasts for the tunnel were fired. Since then work has progressed rapidly. In December of the past year the tunnel was open in the S P O R T S K I R T S Just From New York EXCEPTIONALLY SMART $5.00 TO $15.00 west portal for a distance of about 4,000 feet; in the east portal less than a thousand feet, and in addition, which meets the main tunnel from one side, 1,200 feet. There is a drop of 300 feet be-twen the two portals. The' three penstocks are all open. Ground has been blasted and bedrock reached for the foundations of the main power house. The huge and powerful machinery is being installed as needed. As one gazes down into this immense "glory hole" he feels as though he were looking into the secrets of Nature. It is estimated that at least three years more will be needed to complete the work, and an outlay of another $5,500,000. As we think of the work and reviewed it step by stejj we wonder at the. skill and forethought of man. Short years ago such an undertaking would have been an aimless dream. We spoke of the plan of work—the work of building the railroad was given to the Grant Smith contractors; the Storrie Company from California are .engaged in the construction of the big tunnel; and the city cioared the land, erected the camp and t1 c first tunnel, and are now laying the foundation for the powerhouse. '.I here, at the foot of the mountain?-, is the highest type of civilization: there, all tin-' ingenuity of man is being used for the betterment of his race. B. S. X. S. Training School Calls for Material. The Museum in the Training school is one of the most frequent used in the classroom work, but the material, such as stuffed birds, animals, etc., are becoming very much delapidated, and contributions for this museum will be gladly received by the training school teachers. Undoubtedly there must be some students here who could make even a small contribution for this museum. Such things as seeds, pressed flowers, ore, etc., would be gladly accepted and the appreciation and thanks of the training school is extended to anyone who would be willing to contribute the above mentioned articles in order to enrich our Training school and its museum.

Hence the question of a luncheon for the debate teams that meet here March 1 has been brought before the Board of Control. No definite plans have as yet been made but a committee consisting of Oliver Ingersoll, Leland Rankin, and Tina Pearson, has been appointed to make any necessary investigations. B. S. N. S. A CEREAL STORY I had never cooked rice, but 1 planned it for dinner one night when mother was away. Like the frog who tried to be as big as an ox. my rice swelled until my medium sized kettle would not hold it. I used the largest kettle we had, but it proved too small. Still the rice swelled. In desperation I brought out the dishpan and set it on the stove almost full of half-cooked rice. In a few minutes it overflowed, and in positive fear 1 carried the uncanny cereal out into the back yard and buried it.

He was engaged to a beautiful young woman—she died. He entered politics again; he ran for congress, and was defeated. He tried to get an appointment in the United States land office but failed. He became a candidate for the United States Senate, and was badly beaten. He ran for vice president and was once more defeated.

Stymga itetfj WjUe I While considering things worth while for the improvement of our school, let us turn to the Student Association room. If we, as students, wish to maintain one large office in which all the business of the various offices may be transacted, we'll have to have the right kind of a place. The office should be neat, up-to-date and business-like. How can ptople do their work properly unless they have the proper tools and place in which to do it. The Student's Nook, the room in which all the work of the organization's business affairs are carried on, is sadly lacking in many respects. The present metho do ffinding important papers of the organization, the different class books, the various club books* and other such articles which are essential to the success of student control, is very inadequate. If you were to step, into the room, you would find the drawers in both desks filled full of valuable material, and consequently, much time lost in the sorting proeess. The record or file books cover the tops of both desks and there is no space provided for class or club books. At present there are only two business desks; one for the president of the Student- Association, and the other for the business manager of the Messenger. There are two tables instead of a desk for the editors. The Messenger editor needs a desk on which to keep her valuable materials. Copy is now subject to the investigation and comment of whoever goes in the office. There is no place to keep the articles which she wishes to save until a later issue, and several hundred other things she has to keep track o£ can only be piled up on the top of the table which serves as her desk. The Klipsun Staff should have a regular desk to carry on its business. At present there is only a table with no drawers to serve the purpose. We should have about four columns of general office file drawers, built in the back of the room. Then each club and class could have a drawer, and the system of files would be taken care of efficiently.' With office conveniences the room could be kept neat and orderly. Let's all pull for them and see our association room a place worthy of respect. -B. S. N. S. Qtalttdar HI • ! ! • IM | | j| FRIDAY—Feb. 9. W. A. A. Minstrel Show.

Immediately after dinner the door was locked and only those in possession of the secret signal could gain admittance. About nine-thirty the bustle of preparation ceased and the unsuspecting guest of honor, Miss Mildred Stout, was requested to step into the room for a few minutes. Great was her surprise, upon opening the door, to find the room lighted only by two large red candles and—well, we won't tell how many—small candles, which were decorating an angel-food cake. The other girls entered close behind, and soon found their places at the table to enjoy the fruit salad, sandwiches, pickles, cake and fruit punch. The orchestra in the Social Hall upstairs made a very pleasing background to conversation, so the guests lingered, talking, until after the guests had departed from the dance. Those present were Misses Blanche Shanahan, Lila Foltz, Laura Beebe, La Pearl Moore, Martha Thomson, and the guest of honor. B. S. N. S. Another scalp has been attached to the belt of the Whatcom Alumni girls. Friday evening, Feb. 2, they defeated the Fairnaven high lassies, 21-7.

The other girls who played are, Doris Turner, Alice Barber, Bernice Judson, Beatrice Thomas and Violet Mitcham. Student Opinions Collectively Speaking. We have to laugh at the way girls dress now-a-days. With cut hair,_ that has taken them all the way from fifteen to twenty-two years to get, they blossom out in skirts up to their knees, wear the thinnest silk stockings they can buy, wear earrings, a necklace, five, six or seven rings, a bracelet, wrist watch, carry a vanity box with rouge and powder, and get mad if you call them flappers and so forth. Ain't it the bunk? Wall Flowers. Wall flowers of the garden variety are attractive. This cannot be said of the human variety, especially if they are men. Girls in pretty, fluffy dresses may look beautiful in this capacity, but men, never. At dances our scarcity of men is very noticeable and when a crowd of them stand and gaze at the dancers it is maddening to the girls who must then likewise stand and gaze. Surely none of our men are so weak that they can dance only once or twice during an evening. Note (If this is printed please don't attach my initials.)

Frank Mc- Glinn, as Lincoln did, lived and struggled thru fifty fameless years before recognition came in the form of the leading part in John Drinkwaters famous play, "Abraham Lincoln." Frank McGlinn was born in San Francisco about fifty-five years ago. He is of Irish parentage and his father was one of the early pioneers of California. At the age of fifteen, he was placed in a law school at the advice of his grandfather. Law was distasteful to him so in spite of early promises to carry it thru, he left after seven years training. Six months later he was admitted to the bar, but after two years of practice, he left the law permanently. Through the years the thought of becoming an actor had been constantly assailing nim. Possessing natural talent, he had often been called upon to give recitations, with the result that he finally resolved to take up the work and went to New York. Under the direction of Charles Frohman he played the part of the Indian in the "Gold Bug," but soon played under his own management. At the time of MdKinley's assassination, he, with all theater managers of the country, suffered great losses. He was compelled to accept any parts he could get. playing at one time in the original Rex Beach pictures. However misfortune followed misfortune, until the family, for Mr. McGlinn had marreid n 1900, was literally smothered in debt. In the summer of 1919, Mr. McGlinn secured a part in the comedy "Double Harness." At the close of a performance in Allerton. Pennsylvania, he was handed a telegram from a New York dramatic agent. The message asked him whether he would consider taking a part :n some play thru their office. Dis»oura'rip" davs of uncertainty followed. Mr. McGlinn was called before Mr. Drinkwater to read part of his play, '•Abraham bineoln," , but another actor was at first named for the part. After some delay, however, he was called back, to receive the part. Mr. McGlinn had not been on Broadway for over fifteen years, and was consequently unknown. Indeed one critic, said "An actor, named McGlinn, took the part of Abraham Lincoln." The actor soon became famous. Mr. McGlinn believes emphatically that his prayers were answered. . As he expressed it, "we are always ready to acknowledge the help of a human friend but seldom that of The Friend."-, He says further, "If I. had. my choice, I would certainly have chosen the life of Abraham Lincoln to live over. A man must keep his faith anyway, even though he never comes to the point where he can see that the struggle has been worth while-" Order;Your Klipsun—— "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphans; to do all which may achieve-and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with .all nations."—Lincoln. . •Oh, slow to smite and swift to spare, [Gentle and merciful and just, Who in the, fear, of God, didst bear • v The sword of power, a natioh't trust. | —William Cullen Bryant. • • • ' • • "Death of Lincoln." ——-B.

"You can fool part of the people all the time, you can fool all the people part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time." : A visitor once asked Lincoln how many men the Rebels had in field. He replied very seriously: "twelve hundred thousand, according to the best authority." The Ansitors was surprised. "Yes, sir, twelve hundred thousand-no doubt of it. You see, all of our generals, when they get whipped, say the enemy outnumbers them from three or five to one. We. have four hundred thousand and three times four makes twelve., Don't you see?" President Lincoln once wrote to General McClellan, when the latter was in command of the army. General McClellan, as is well known, conducted a waiting campaign, being so careful not to make any mistakes that he made very little headway. President Lincoln sent this brief but exceedingly pertinent letter : "My Dear McClellan: If you don't want to use the army, I should like to borrow it for a while. "Yours respectfully, "A.

After many moments of "difficult (for Angus) meditation he decided, that . Bachelor's club was needed. He wrote the constitution,; appointed himself president, secretary and treasurer. To be eligible it is necessary to possess a broken heart and to present to the rogues gallery that is to be conducted by the club, a picture of the heartbreaker. Two other boys offered their credentials to the club and •were admitted by Mr. Bowmer. At this time it was decided that a fee of $1.00 would be collected each time any member "stepped." Mr. Bowmer, it appears, wanted to break the monotony, so took two girls for a hike. The other two members voted that Mr. Bowmer should pay the fee and all of his arguments that these girls were with Mr. Abbey were futile. After much thought Mr. Bowmer decided to. pay his fine, hence, the remaining bachelors not sharing the treasurer's profit, resigned. At present, Angus is on the trail of a bachelor with money gt; as the club is low on funds.

The knowledge and understanding of how people dressed and lived,, of what they ate, and when, of the things they liked and what they thought, is something worthy of possession and can so seldom obtain from even the best scientific history. This is particularly the field of the historical novel. By reading a well selected list of books of consecutive periods one may acquire a very satisfactory knowledge of a most enjoyable part of history. As a supplement to a well balanced v history course such reading is stimulating to say the least.

Well, some of us have tried it but our mothers cured us of the habit with her slipper, or if her slipper would not come off quickly enough then she used her good right hand. That was in the olden days, but now,— What's the truth now? Well, now it's worth while to tell a good story and the Normal school has organized a Story Telling club, and the girls practice telling stories. This is done under the direction of such story tellers as Lydia E. Jacobs, M..Belle Sperry, and Catherine Montgomery of the Normal faculty. That these girls have become proficient in the art is evidenced by the fact that they are now able to go out in groups and entertain and instruct by telling stories. "We want to get before P. T. A.," said Mrs. Carl Irish, president of the club, "and show them how well we can tell stories." "What kind of stories do you tell ?" she was asked. "We tell stories of Japanese life, sing songs, and demonstrate the folk dancing of the country," came the quick response. "We can do the same for other countries, also. We show the manners and customs of the country by actual demonstration which with the stories, songs, and dances makes a delightful evening." "That's wonderful. What do yen charge for such services ?" we asked, "It's worth a hundred dollars an evening," came the reply from President Irish, "and we'll get that much some day, but at present, we're going for nothing." "And pay your own expenses?" We added. "Well, since we have spent all our money preparing to be teachers we must ask the party served, to provide transportation if we are asked to go out of the city," came the modest reply. The Normal School Story club is ready for action and anxious to demonstrate its ability. Call on it through the Extension Department for school entertainments, P. T. A. programs, or other educational gatherings. -B. S. N. S. BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE. "Investments" was the theme of the discussion at the second meeting of the B. G. L. Tuesday. Misses Grace Berry and Grass Goss discussed the question, "How the business girl should spend twenty-four hours a day." Interest was keen in the open forum which followed the speeches. By a consensus of opinion the following approximate division of time for one day was recommended: Recreation, 1 hour; sleep, 8 hours; employment, 4 hours, recitation, 3 hours; study, 5 hours; transportation, 1 hour; meals, 1 hour; caring for clothes, 1-3 hour; caring for room 1-6 hour; dressing, 1-2 hour; religious work, 1-4 hour. One general criticism was made of this schedule. It provides no time for culture such as reading, atending concerts, etc. 'Many young women reported, that it was possible to secure recreation from their employment, going to and from school, and during meal time. The second part of the meeting centered about the topic, "How should a business girl invest twenty-five dollars if that were all she had during the spring quarter?" Miss Agnes Zaremba opened this discussion. For lack of time the problem was not fully discussed, thus it is expected to be continued at the next meting. The program- given, consisted of a piano solo, "Melody in A. major," rendered by Thelma Dock. The musical number was much enjoyed. NOTICE TO SOCIAL COMMITTEES. Do you know the requirements for obtaining rooms and equipment for parties? If you are new this quarter, these regulations are particularly important to you, if you aren't, be sure you are following them. Altho a poster has been up, it so often happens that' social committees of clubs are new and have not noticed it. Miss Longley and Miss Countryman are both very busy persons and altho they are always willing to help, even when it has seriously inconvenienced themselves it is surely not fair to impose on their good nature. Read these rules, take down a few notes if necessary, and do not forget that one day preceding part of them. Requisition for Equipment from Home Economics Department. In order to obtain equipment from the Home Economics Department for use in clubs and entertainments the following things are necessary: Obtain a requisition blank from the Registrar, one day preceding. Have the requisition blank signed by either Miss Longley or Miss Countryman in the Home Economics Department, one day preceding. Definite arrangements for the time of obtaining such equipment should be made when the requisition is signed. The. student whose name appears on the requisition is responsible for leaving the equipment clean and in good order, and also for leaving the rooms in good condition. The club or organization for whom the requisition is obtained is responsible for the replacement of dishes broken or utensils injured during the time they are out of the department. All materials must be checked back into the department before 8 o'clock of the morning following the entertainment, with the exception of equipment taken for Friday or Saturday evenings, which will be checked back the following Monday morning before 8 o'clock. In order to obtain rooms for evening use, obtain a requisition blank from the Dean. If the rooms are in the Home Economics department the requisition must also be signed by either Miss Long-ley or Miss Countryman, one day preceding.

The student body had the privilege of hearing a very enlightening lecture Monday morning. Mr. Kolstad chose as his subject "War Grafts," and proceeded to give many facts and statistics pertaining to the many grafts which were instituted during the recent war. He gave repeated instances of salmon fisheries which included those of Bel-lingham, Blaine and Anacortes, who were virtually caught in the act of canning • putrid fish for the use of our soldiers, over buying of equipment, particul a r l y saddles, nose bags and other cavalry supplies. _ Mr. Kolstad closed his address with the timely and significant question, "Wliy should the government have been so blind to graft, and so lavish in reckless and unnecessary expenditures during the war, and not be willing now to finance the Bonus bill, or make appropriations sufficient to educate our school -cMLdren.2''. - —- PRESIDENT HOPKINS' ADDRESS DISCUSSED E. A. Bond From the recent controversy that arose over the opening address by President Hopkins of Dartmouth college, to the undergraduates, came many interesting comments. These comments center about two theses, 'Too many men go to college' and 'There is an aristocracy of brains.' Dr. Hopkins' real meanings, as gained by reading the entire content of his address, was that the college ought not have its machinery clogged by those undesirables who attend solely for social standing, college life, college athletics and college fun. College opportunities are too valuable to waste on those who are not there almost exclusively for the training that the college can give. The entrances are now fast becoming competitive. Many institutions are demanding a certain standard of high school work. Certain it is that the whole attitude of students toward hard mental labor needs a thorough toning up. ——Order Your Klipsun Lost: A hand purse valued as keepsake, containing a locker key, sum of money and car tokens.

Black cats, tiny gray cats, long lanky, gray cats, soft fuzzy white cats! How they seem to love Normal. It makes one feel as if the world can't be going to the dogs when even the alley cats desire an education at the teacher's college. Hardly a day passes at Normal without someone's feline pet leaving home to enter Normal. Their gentle pleading eyes and winning ways touch the heart of some prospective old maid and they are admitted. It matters not what training they have had in previous years, they are spoiled after they attended Normal a few hours. They are admitted into classes and given privileges unknown to other students, except occasionally our pampered boys. They are not confined to one seat, they don't listen to the instructor and eveiyone is anxious to pet and talk to them. In the halls they cause mobs to gather. Even the boys, recognizing a brotherly feeling, stop to pat their heads. Scraps, lunches and even entire sandwiches are offered with the plea, "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may be kicked out." And the pussy-cats, being both wise and hungry, do not need a second invitation. No one wishes to lead a "dog/ life." But a "cat's life at Normal," oh, what a difference. a^altlj CMmwt Remedy for Headache, Backache or Hearache.

If you dont believe me, just go to your closet and pull out that must old hiking suit and slip into it, and try a good long hike. A number of the girls from Edens Hall tried it last Friday night and they all agree with me. They hiked out to lake Padden and toasted "Weenies." With a "weenie" in one hand, a hot roll in the other and a cup of coffee in their imagination, they sat and watched the moon rise up from behind the hills in all its splendor and shine down upon the beautiful white lake. It was too beautiful to describe. One would have to be there in order to appreciate the scene. After consuming a large quantity of food the girls sang a number of songs by the dying embers of the fire. Then they hiked home in the crisp, frosty air, and they all declared they felt ten years younger.

The two combatants who are to defend the Blue and White are, by nature and circumstances, peculiarly fitted for the task. Mi-. Henderson's long matrimonial training in dodging the verbal rolling pin and wielding the verbal teacup has of course left him well prepared for this occasion. While Mr. Simonson can claim no such intensive training, he asserts that his place on the team was foretold several thousand years ago in the narrative of the exploits of a certain great warrior who "took the jawbone of an ass and went forth and slew the Philistines." While the staff of censors have allowed very little to be made public concerning the actual plan of campaign, the lid will be off Wednesday morning, and spectators will soon be made aware that hostilities have commenced in earnest.

Schoenberg as a constructivistwill be discussed by Dr. Edwin LaBounty, associate professor of music at Western. String concerttonight The Western Symphonic Strings will present a concert at 8:15 tonight in the music auditorium.Concerto a cinque Opus 7, No. 5 and Opus 5, No. 4 by Tomoso Albinoni; Gregorian Chant for StringedOrchestra by Paul Creston and Music for Strings by Quincy Porter will be performed. Dr. Paul Stonerwill direct the concert. Admission is free. Petitions available today A petition opposing the proposedforeign language requirement will be available today and tomorrow at a table outside the VU coffee shop. The proposal, which is scheduled to go into effect Fall quarter 1969, would make it a requirement for allstudents to have one year of a foreign language unless they have completed two years of a language inhigh school. The petition states: "In the belief that it is not in the best interest of education tocontinually expand the number of required courses in the curriculum, ad infinitum, we, the undersigned,voice strong opposition to the suggested foreign language requirement which is proposed forimplementation in the Fall quarter of 1969." Students already enrolled at Western will not be affected.Billboard speech tonight Jack Robertson, President of the Washington Roadside Council, will explain at 7:30 tonight in L-2 how billboard operators are attempting to weaken the state billboard laws. The newbills introduced in the state legislature by the billboard lobby would allow billboard alleys along majorhighways, according to Robertson. Robertson feels that citizens can organize to defeat the strongbillboard lobby. Bourasaw appoints faculty member to student position on pub board Dr. David Pevear,assistant professor of geology, was appointed last Friday to a student-held position on the publicationscommittee. AS President Noel Bourasaw appointed Pevear to fill the term of Fred Munich, resigningstudent member of the committee. "This will form a precedent at Western, we think," Bourasaw said.This "radical departure" from past practice is a test of the statement that everyone in a collegecommunity is a student, according to Bourasaw. "We want to test whether the administration, faculty,and m o s t impor t a n t â€” t h e studentsâ€”really believe Western is a community of scholars, orwhether they are just giving it lip service," Bourasaw said. AS government is preparing recommendations to President Charles J. Flora and the faculty, stressing faculty and student cooperation in reorganizingcampus programming and publications, Bourasaw added. Pevear, one of the top ten professorsdesignated by students in a survey last year, has taught at Western for two years. He was recently afaculty representative at the Rosario Merge Conference last month. "I chose Dave because he is in thesciencesâ€”a field from which we do not have an adequate point of view, and because he hasexceptional talent at communicating with both faculty and students," Bourasaw said. "We studentswant to encourage untenured faculty who aren't plugged into the campus to participate in all campusaffairs." the western front Vol. LXI No. 18 Western Washington State College Bedingham, Washington98225 Tues. March 4, 1969 10c Spring is here: improvisations at last Saturday's Sunshine Merge Festival at Pleasant Cove. -photo by finley Students looking for city council candidate Members of studentgovernment and sociology-anthropology 430 (Social Change) are looking for a city council candidate who will continue to represent the college, AS Legislator Al Doan, one of the group organizers, said lastFriday. Due to the resignation of Dean of Men C.W. McDonald, Sixth Ward councilman, Western willlose its most effective link with the city, Doan said. McDonald's resignation will become effective nextMonday. The city council will choose a successor at the next regular meeting. He suffered a hear",attack in December. Doan presented the idea at last Thursday's class meeting and suggested that theclass transform its study of social theory into action by working for council representation. A largemajority of the class h a s agreed. Its first AS compiling proposals for presentation to Floraorganizational meeting was held last Thursday night in the sixth ward. The ward includes Fairhaven,Happy Valley, Edgemoor and most of the Southern portion of Sehome Hill. "Our primary concern is tofan out now and comb every group of people in the ward to glean issues which most residents think aremost in need of attention," AS president Noel Bourasaw, a member of the class, said. The group islooking for either a student or faculty candidate for appointment, Bourasaw said. Members of the groupwant to convince residents of the ward that the students' intention is not to take over Bellingham but tohelp solve problems which face the Sixth Ward and the city, he added. To be eligible, the candidatemust be 21 years old and a resident registered elector of the ward. Western's AS government is thisweek compiling a collection of proposals for change in the college to be presented to President CharlesJ. Flora this quarter. The report will be the result of a request by Flora last fall quarter to studentgovernment to consolidate and explain s t u d e n t complaints and suggestions. "The collection rangesfrom proposed language houses to a controversial complete self-study of the institution by bothstudents and faculty," according to Leslie May, group dynamics chairman of the AS ActivitiesCommission. Miss May was coordinator of the February Rosario Merge Conference where faculty,administration and students met to compile most of the individual sections of the report. The LanguageHouse, for instance, was suggested by one of the small groups of the conference to provide a relevant,central place where language majors could live. All residents in the house would be required to speakonly in their studied language during their time of residence and all their bulletins and advertisementswould be in that language. The self-study proposal has already been implemented in a 16-hour blockclass for spring quarter. The credits will be awarded to participants by four different academicdepartments.

None of us wants change, yet thesolutions of yesterday are not adequate for solving today's problems. In the past, if a social system hasnot changed with the flow of time and new events, it has collapsed. LAWS UNREALISTIC We mustcontinually take new looks at old controls. The abortion laws we have inherited from the nineteenthcentury are unrealistic. German measles, for example, or a tragedy similar to the thalidomide incidentare reminders of the horrors that can lead to a compelling demand for termination of pregnancy. Whilemost medical organizations refuse to support abortion as a means of population control (possibly due to the wide availability of contraceptives) the Time-Life series includes it in its book Birth Control THINGS(candies, pouches, skirts, etc.) NEAR COST at STUDENT RUN STORE No. 231 Edens ( ora naeblossom j ' Mmmtidrtnw To the girl who knows what she r wants but not where to find it Match yourstyle with our many distinctive designs.

In Hungary, where abortionsare most easily obtained and where accurate records are kept, there are 1200 abortions per 1000 livebirths. Demographers report that the rate of population increase in the United States is equal to that ofIndia. Incidences of illegal abortion in this country range from 200,000 to 1.5 million per year, accordingto various estimates. There is at least one criminal abortion for every four live births, with many done byunqualified M.D.'s according to t h e Citizens' . Abortion Discussion Group of Seattle. In a large privateSeattle hospital the therapeutic abortion rate is one per 250 live births. The majority of such quasi-legalabortions appear on hospital records under the designation "for psychiatric indications"â€”a categorywhich accounts for a steadily increasing proportion of the abortions performed in U.S. hospitals. MOSTMARRIED Eighty percent of women who obtain abortions are married, according to the Citizens''Abortion Discussion Group. Most are between thirty and forty years of age, have two or more children,and are pregnant by their husbands. Research at Indiana University indicates that one woman out offour will have had an illegal abortion by the age of 45. LAW REFORM SUPPORTED Support for lawreform is widespread. A recent national survey revealed that over 90 per cent of ' U . S . psychiatristsfavor j liberalization of abortion laws. i Of the more than 40,000 doctors responding to a recent survey on the subject taken by Modem Medicine, 87 percent favored some kind of reform. The 23,000-memberAmerican Public Health Association approved a resolution asserting that "Any woman in a free societyshould have the right to decide for herself if she wishes to have an abortion." The Seattle Gynecological Society, the Washington State Medical Association and the Washington State Obstetrical Associationall passed similar resolutions endorsing a policy that abortions performed by licensed physicians inaccredited hospitals with adequate medical control be removed from the criminal code of the State ofWashington. Some political figures who have favored abortion reform are the late Senator Robert F.Kennedy, Governors Nelson A. Rockefeller and Daniel J. Evans, New York Mayor John V. Lindsay, andWashington state Senators Joel Pritchard and Frank Atwood. Five states have reformed abortion laws in the past two years. E i g h t e e n , including Washington, are considering abortion reform during theircurrent legislative sessions. Senate Bill 282 and Companion House Bill 312 would remove criminalpenalities for abortion provided they are performed by licensed physicians in approved medical facilities. The proposed law would allow doctors and patients to realistically evaluate the alternatives in cases ofunplanned pregnancy. ILLEGAL ABORTIONS DANGEROUS The rich can avoid the law easily. $800 isthe price of a trip to Japan for a safe legal abortion. The poor use coat hangers or other makeshiftdevices and many die as a result. Illegal abortions account for 45 percent of all deaths connected withpregnancy. Yet a hospital abortion performed by a qualified physician is as safe and easy as atonsillectomy. The illegal abortionist is unlikely to counsel a pregnant or even a non-pregnant woman out of having an abortion. He wants his money. MORAL PROBLEM The moral problem hinges on thequestion of whether the fetus is a human being. Life in a general sense is certainly there but not yethuman life, any more than the life of the sperm or unfertilized egg can be called a human being. Sex can be determined in the sperm before pregnancy, thus sex determination is not an indication of human life. Scientifically, the fetus cannot be considered a human being for the simple reason that outside thewomb, it cannot survive even with artifical help. Legal definitions conclude the fetus not to be human. 'Theologically, abortion for the reasons proposed by the American Law Institute (preservation of maternalhealth) is sanctioned by most major non-Catholic religious groups. These groups obviously do notregard the fetus as a human being. One totally inadmissable argument is that early termination ofpregnancy is equivalent to homicide. From the legal point of view, no state requires a certificate of death in such cases. From a religious point of view, few carry the notion so far as to call for baptism at thispoint of development. Because of divided moral opinion on the question of the unquickened fetus, thestate should refrain from specifying the necessary conditions for abortion. The power of decision should be left strictly to the persons involved according to their personal ethical values. When a pregnantwoman decides she wants an abortion, who is qualified to deny her this right? To allow her this rightonly if her health is jeopardized or her fetus endangered is to endow the medical profession with adecision-making power that should belong to the individual. Ultimately, abortion must be the right ofevery woman. Ninety percent of all letters on abortion reform originate from Catholic minority groups.Despite the fact that polls indicate even the majority of Catholics favor abortion reform, the Catholichierarchy has succeeded in helping kill most abortion bills. Catholic Father John Fearon of SeattleUniversity is quoted by Seattle magazine as saying that "even if this were a Catholic countryâ€”which ofcourse it is notâ€”I would oppose any attempt to equate moral and civil law. "I would also hope thatCatholics in this state will have the good sense to refrain from attempting to legislate the moral behaviorof the non-Catholic majority." If the senate bill does not come out of Lieutenant Governor JohnCherberg's Rules Committee, where nine of the 17 members are Catholic, we may be facing the oldquestion of separation of church and state and an attempt at controlling moral beliefs. In view of the factthat millions of children come to life unwanted and resented and are consequently treated cruelly by the economics of society, abortion for some unborn is a blessing. We should concentrate on assuringquality and richness to all who are born rather than concentrate on bringing to term all unquickenedfetuses. No amount of public hysteria can alter the necessity for releasing legal abortion controls tothose directly concerned.

Price says students adults Students desire to have a voice inthe type of education they receive, E. Curmie Price, instructor of English, said in an interview last week. "When we begin to think of students as adults, part of the desire is solved. "Students should participate in the creation of a college," Price said. "Decisions made on the campus level should involve studentsand faculty as well as administrators." Price is a member of the ad hoc committee for minority culturesprograms. The committee was formed last October by the Academic Council to study the desirability ofa college of minority cultures. The committee recently submitted an interim report "meant to raise thedesirability," Price said. A college of minority cultures would be desirable, the committee reported."Learning ought to be an act of persuasion," Price said. Since the dominant culture demands that allstudents be taught its culture, the minority groups should be able to learn about their own culture, Price said. Because a sense of self-identity is developed early in life, it is impossible for the minority groupsto identify themselves under the present system, he said. "The education of children must include acultural education and it must begin as early in life as possible."

"Judging from some published comments lately," the editorial began, "the casual reader might think that environmental pollution had just been discovered."We had not believed that, but after reading the Herald editorial we are convinced that some people inresponsible p o s i t i o n s have yet to discover environmental pollution. The Herald editorial writerdefended the piecemeal efforts of local government and industry to pollution control against what heseemed to consider unfair, below-the-belt attacks on the part of the Western Front. At no place in ourpresentation did we cast doubt on the good intentions of local interests in regard to pollution control, nordid we attack the pollution problems of Bellingham out of any personal vendetta. We talked aboutBellingham because we live here. Many people who are honestly concerned about pollution problemsana1 who think they are doing everything possible and reasonable to control pollution simply do notunderstand the scope of the problem. The root of the problem is much deeper and more basic than mere neglect or even economic exploitation. The root is mathematical. Demographers tell us that by the year2000 world population will have doubled twice again over its present level. The unprecedented populationexplosion we are experiencing will simply not allow us to go on in the piecemeal, lackadaisical mannerof environment "control" to which we are accustomed. We can no longer afford to waste. What 40 yearsago might have been an acceptable level of inefficiency today means eventual death to a portion of theworld population. Ironic as it seems, people themselves have become a form of "pollution." There are toomany of us, with no prospects for relief. We must begin to conceive of ourselves as part of ourenvironment when thinking in terms of environmental planning. One way to do this is to change ourattitudes toward abortion. Al Doan discusses this on page 2. Another, even better way, we feel, is togreatly expand our present use of artificial birth control. These problems cannot be divorced from theproblems of environmental pollution. They are too inextricably tied together. " . . . a strong economy ispart of the picture," the Herald editorial reads. "Jobs provide the income to buy the homes that pay thetaxes to build the schools, don't they? . . . . Beyond that, what do the critics want? To tear the millsdown?" What the critics want is to make the public realize the scope and intensity of the environmentalproblem which may ultimately destroy society as we know it. We will continue to present theseproblems until the public becomes aware enough to act, or until we are engulfed. Perhaps one day soonthere will be no mills operating to be torn down. â€”Bob Hicks Congratulations on Pevear appointmentWe congratulate AS President Noel Bourasaw for appointing faculty member David Pevear to fill astudent vacancy on the publications committee (see story, p. 1). Bourasaw's action showed that he, ifno one else, has evolved beyond the "Student Power" stage of campus politics. Student Power isessentially a means of convincing students, they are full-fledged members of the academic communityand need apologize to no one for assuming that position. It is a thrust for self-assertion, and as such ithas quite naturally created its share of excesses. By appointing Pevear, Bourasaw has shown he doesnot have to prove to anyone that students are capable contributors to the community. Pevear wasappointed not on the grounds of his academic position within the community, but because he wasconsidered the most qualified currently available person for the job. Bourasaw saw no reason to appointa student simply because the position was technically a student position. This refusal to submit to thepressures and arbitrary boundaries of "class status" within the community is just one example of thehard-hitting practicality which has made Bourasaw the most effective student president in at least thepast several years. His action was pragmatic in the best sense of the word; making the best possiblespecific decision on a specific problem. We hope faculty, other students and other administrators willfollow Bourasaw's lead. Who knows; perhaps, the faculty will some day elect a student to FacultyCouncil. â€”Bob Hicks Let's save Hell's Canyon Why save Hell's Canyon? There are several reasons forwanting to preserve this section of wild, undammed area of the Snake R iver. Hell's Canyon is the lastlarge stretch of the Snake River to remain in its natural state. It is also the deepest gorge in the PacificNorthwest. Furthermore, the present river is the last stronghold for the white sturgeon, North America'slargest fish. If dams were built in this area, the sturgeon would soon die out, since they need swift waterfor spawning. The area is also unique in its archaeological and geographical formations. Wildlife isabundant in many forms. There are 10 different vegetation zones in the area. Although much of the areawould be left unharmed, flooding of the canyon would leave few places for camping and few beaches onwhich to land boats. Anyone who has ever shot the rapids on a wild river knows what will be taken awayfrom the public. Supporters of the dam projects also admit that these proposed dams would supply onlyone tenth of the future power needs of the area. They propose to eventually move to nuclear power, sowhy not make the move now?

I was gratified to see thathe realized the Front had a point in publishing them. What he thought it was I don't know, but heapparently missed it. Those articles were published on the chance that someone would read them andget disgusted enough about the mess we make of our environment to try and do something about it.Ranzoni rebuts 'clean Bellingham' letter Unfortunately, there are people who read articles such as those, look at the clouds of smoke billowing from the smokestacks, and automobile exhaust pipes, and absorb into their bodies all the really groovy things like sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and various a n dsundry unburned hydrocarbonsâ€”and say, "So what." Or they'll look at all that, and say with typicalpollyannish glee, "Sureâ€”but look at all the nice pretty things we have." Then theyil stick their heads in-the sand completely ignoring a problem they cannot or will not face. If I appear bitter or insulting Iapologize. But pollution is one of several problems we can no longer afford to ignore. The time to dosomething about it is now (30 or 40 years ago would have been better), and it won't get solved byrationalizing. We can help solve it by getting enough people involved to raise a stink with ourlawmakers, for example, or with Georgia Pacific. It will take some measure of involvement though. That's why Clements discusses thermal pollution Editor: Several times in your paper and elsewhere on thiscampus different people have criticized thermal pollution produced by the Hanford atomic reactors. I now have some interesting facts for your consideration. When the government was still engaged in buyingthe land around Hanford, studies were started of the Columbia River and its inhabitants. There wasconcern that the then unknown processes might alter the river's ecology. These studies have continuedwithout let-up since 1943. The most comprehensive study of Columbia River ecology in existence hasbeen done there so it is well understood that the mass of expertise is there. No evidence has beenestablished that the increase in river temperature, to date, has been harmful to river life. As to the effectof so-called thermal pollution, to date about all that is known is that there are more salmon nestinglocations than there were in 1943. This problem of water temperature also needs some truthfulexplanation. With all the reactors at Hanford in operation the water temperature increases only slightlymore than one degree centigrade. This is probably less than that caused by dams.. Dams have alsobeen criticized by fishing groups but not for thermal reasons. They are opposed since they restrict fishmigration. An article in a national magazine related all the horrible "facts" about the damage done Florareacts to tenure charges to the fish in the Snake River due to the Hanford reactors. However, the Snakeflows into the Columbia several miles from Hanford. In fact, the closest reactor to the Snake-Columbiaconjunction is 21 miles. This reactor has been shutdown for over five years. The next reactor, inoperation, is about 31 miles away. I might add that between these reactors and the Snake, the Yakima, said to be the seventh dirtiest river in the country, flows into the Columbia. I would like to add that newstate and federal laws prohibit the addition of hot water that increases water temperature more than twodegrees. Hanford is well below that mark- R. Martin Clements freshman, art Editor: It has recently been alleged that, by administrative attitude, faculty in this college place their tenure in jeopardy if theysocialize with students. To those who may believe this charge, let me say to my knowledge that theallegation is absolutely false. This administration stands solidly in support of close faculty and studentrapport, and this cannot exist unless the importance of out-of-class contacts, including the social, arerealized by both parties. This college has traditionally recognized and continues to recognize theimportance of i n f o r m a l , out-of-class student-faculty interaction. If the official attitude in this collegewere critical of students and faculty dining together and visiting each other's homes (as has beensuggested), I would not have been given tenure, would not have been promoted, and certainly would notnow be President.

STANDARDSTATIONS parti,, CHEVRON DEALERS None were willing to take up the leadership of Students forPeace. The crisis is one of student' solidarity. Student solidarity is essential in obtaining the essentialchanges on campus and nationally. Most of the student organizations operating last quarter are nowinactive (the Radical Coalition, the Silent Majority, and Students for Responsible Expression). Whilethis might have seemed more like division than solidarity at the time, the groups last quarter had thecommon effect of giving students a voice oil campus. The ideological differences between the radicaland the liberal are not so great that they can't be laid aside for the purpose of obtaining meaningfulchanges such as changing dorm regulations. The essential thing is that there must be student solidarity and there must be organizations to represent the differing points of view. If we are left with no studentorganization in the center such as the Silent Majority or Students for Peace, dealing with theadministration is going to be very difficult. A meeting of Students for Peace will be held Wednesday,March 5, in VU 209 at 4 pjn. Ron Felton senior â€¢ Dislikes community school Editor: I am a thirteen -year - old student attending Shuksan Middle School. 8 The community school, in my opinion, is a crazy idea. If some kid doesn't want to do any math, what can he do? There are a variety of answers. Onesolution is he may go ask a "teacher" how to spell a dirty word, and be very proud when he writes.it allover. Another solution is he may go see a "show" on campus. I don't think the majority of these "shows" should be seen by a child of elementary school age, my age, or even a person twenty-one years old.Still another answer is he may go to sleep. This will give him practice for future sit-ins. While he iswatching shows, sleeping, or writing dirty words, he should be doing math. If a child doesn't know howto do addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, how is he going to get a job? Maybe he willbecome head ditch digger. Wait, hold it, how could he be? He doesn't know how to count the men thatare absent from work. Oh well, try again! Maybe he will become a hippie leader and get to lead ademonstration or riot. Where will he get money to eat? Oh well, let him sleep on. Sleep won't hurt him,will it?

Having grown up with idealistic and romantic notions of creative teaching, Saint Thomas More, et al., I am disappointed at the problems facing some of our more dynamic and creative teachers notbeing granted tenure, with no explanation as to why. On the other hand, those with a Ph.D. and thosewho publish are assured of a paying job, no matter how poor their teaching methods are or in spite oftheir lack of imagination. Those with imagination and creativity who are unable to be granted tenure arevictims in the v i c i o u s , c o m p e t i t i v e, unrewarding degree mill which passes as highereducation. Tudor England, of Henry V I I I , rewarded men of conscience and intellect with a martyr'sdeath. Today we are more subtle; we call it.refusal to grant tenure. But it is the same problem of theintellectual, the man of conscience, versus an unaware and morally apathetic society. How long will weallow this? How long will students and faculty remain silent? How long, oh Lord, how long?

Paul Johnson freshman Fairhaven College Editor: The followingquestionnaire was handed out to 82 of the voters in the last AS legislative elections: "Of the legislatorsyou are voting for how many do you know well enough to vote wisely upon; i.e. how many do you knowpersonally and politically enough about to make a wise decision? check one: (a) none (b) one (c) two(d) more than two (e) all the candidates Of those who voted and filled out the questionnaire 30 said theyknew none of the candidates well enough to make a wise decision. 23% said they knew one candidatewell enough to vote wisely upon, 22% said they knew two candidates well enough to vote wisely upon,22% said they knew more than two candidates well enough to vote wisely, and only 3% said they knewall the candidates well enough to make a wise decision. These results are amazing. According to thispoll 75% of the voters knew 2 or less of the candidates and yet these are the people who filled the 5 AS Legislature posts with their votes. In other words, those who were elected as representatives of thestudents were not chosen by a wise electorate of students evaluating critically those running for office,but by students who didn't even know who they were voting for. This is, I think, a very serious indictment against the so-called democratic elections of student representatives, and I hope the newly electedlegislators will do something to make future elections less of a mockery of democratic processes.

The meeting was a result ofa letter concerning tenure, promotion, and retention (TPR) of faculty members sent to the faculty by theAS president, Noel Bourasaw. The first suggestion from the letter was that some form of studentevaluation be included in every file of a faculty member being considered for tenure, promotion, orretention. Dr. Clyde Senger, present chairman of the Tenure and Promotion (T P) Committee andprofessor of biology, suggested that a letter from student majors in the professor's department would bevery valuable. Bourasaw's letter had originally suggested that at least one standard evaluation of aprofessor's class should be administered by the college testing service, with the results included in hisfile. Dr. Ray McLeod, professor and chairman of physics, stressed that a standard form would aidcomparison with other professors, but the form now used must be improved before it can adequatelyserve this purpose.. Hugh Fleetwood, assistant professor of philosophy, said he was part of anexperimental evaluation program set up by students last year, and was impressed with the students'Correctness and ability to detect teaching qualities. Dr. Richard ~Starbird, professor of education and amember of the T P committee, said all professors should be evaluated. Bourasaw insisted thatstudents should know about upcoming actions as soon as other faculty members in the department sothey could submit their evaluation in time for it to be considered. Bob Hicks, Western Front editor,questioned the faculty present about their opinion of a student being included on the T P committee.WWSC Dept. of Speech 734-8800 | present Peter Weiss's "the persecution and assassination of jJean-Paul MAR AT'|/ as performed by the inmates of ) the asylum o f Charen ton / under the direction ofthe / Marquis de SADE"1 / March 6, 7, 8, 9 8:15 p.m. Senger said his concern was that the discussionof cases being considered must be confidential. McLeod said he didn't think it would be a bad idea.Starbird said there must be insurance that the committee will always communicate with the studentbody. Dr. Robert Peters, professor of English and member of the T P Committee, said he wants topreserve the committee with four tenured professors as members. Peters questioned why a professorshould be able to select only his best classes for evaluation, which is the case presently. But he alsopointed out that students in some classes are poor evaluators and might not really indicate theprofessor's worth. Other professors meeting with the students were Dr. Thaddeus Spratlen, associateprofessor of economics and chairman of the Faculty Council, and Dr. Fred Ellis, professor of educationand former chairman of the T P committee.

'Neo-Nazism re-emerging' Wolff says Neo-nazism is re-emerging in the West German government, accordingto Karl Wolff, former president of the German Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Wolff toldapproximately 40 students during an SDS meeting here last Tuesday that today's Nazis "do notgoosestep or wear black uniforms." "But they practice the same kind of oppression as occurred afterthe Weimar Republic was dissolved," Wolff said. Wolff was referring to the measures taken by WestGerman police and government officials Arts and Lectures Series presents THE JAPAN FOLK DANCEGROUP Friday, March 7,1969 ' 8:15 p.m. - College Auditorium WWSC Faculty, Staff, and StudentsFree General Admission $1]50, High School Students $.75 against New Left demonstrators. " P e o p l e seem more concerned with freedom of speech for neo-Nazis than for the rights of demonstrators," Wolff said. Wolff also claimed that German students' right to think for themselves is being hampered in theuniversities. "Since 1963 West German students have realized the pressure being exerted on theuniversities by industrialists to cut down the number of social science courses. "Almost half of theuniversities are closed or on strike in an effort to reform them," Wolff said. Students are now planningtheir own courses, he added. "In times of revolution you can't order people to occupy a factory or aschool," Wolff said. "The masses (made aware of the dangers of neo-Nazism) will have to do thisthemselves."

The Viks, under coach Chuck Randall gave up an average of only 60.9 points a game. A result of Western's tight defense was 375 turnovers forced onopponents. Three key figures on defense were Neal Larson, Jimmy Jones and Gary Reiersgard. Larsonset a team season record with 89 steals. He had a record game high of nine steals against TahoeParadise. Jones kept opponent shots away from the basket with 49 checks. Reiersgard grapped 112 ofhis 180 rebounds off enemy backboards.

Western's record is 1-1. The visitors jumped to an early 3-0 lead on a penalty kick. Late inthe half, a Western fumble near the goal line resulted in a try, boosting the lead to 6-0. Westernappeared to have scored a try on a run by Jeff Zygar, but it was called back because of knock on, seenby the referee. In the second half the teams played evenly until midway through the period. Close to the Western goal* Victoria moved an extra man into their backfield and used quick ball handling to score.Another threat by Western was stalled by Victoria's quick tough defense.

It was the Big Blue'ssecond win of the season over the Portland Vikings and climaxed an exceptional 18-6 season's mark for the Western quintet. This record surpasses the previous Western season record of 19-7 set in 1959-60. The season's finale also ended collegiate basketball careers for five Western seniors: Jim Dahl, EdMonk, Jimmy Jones and Gary Reiersgard. Team captain Whit Hemion missed the game action due to aleg injury. Coach Chuck Randall's squad got off to a slow start against the Rose City team. Accurateoutside shooting by guard Glen McClendon gave the Oregonians an early 12-6 lead. A quick time-outand a stern pep talk by Coach Randall set the Viking cagers straight and the gap was narrowed, until atip-in shot by Jones put the home team ahead to stay with 8:56 remaining until halftime. Superbshooting from forward John Reed, junior Mike Clayton and reserve guard Dahl, plus the added rebounding strength of Jones gave the home t e am a 43-29 halftime advantage. Western's hustling five alsomanaged an incredible 24 steals in the contest with Reiersgard getting six and Neal Larson and Dahlfour apiece. Leon Edmonds, 6' 7" PSC center, averaging 23.5 points per game, was held to six points by the Western defense, most notably Reiersgard. Reed lead all scorers with 14 points while teammateClayton had 13, Jones 11, and Monk 10 to round out the Viking's balanced scoring attack.

SCOTT ANDERSON exchange editor "Congress can create a damwhenever they want to but they can't create a wild river," Bob Pyle, vice president of the University ofWashington Conservation Council (UWCC), said last Thursday. Pyle and Roger Almskaar, UWCCpresident, told a group of 30 people that unless action is taken this year, the remaining wild Snake Riverarea may be lost forever. Hell's Canyon is the only large remaining part of the Snake that is notdammed, they said. The River has 14 dams now. Four or five more are planned, the Seattle studentssaid. Some of these are being planned in the canyon, the deepest in the Pacific Northwest.Conservationists are trying to prevent more dams from being built in the area, the spokesmen said. Thecanyon is noted for large populations of deer and elk and an abundance of other wildlife, they said.Many Indian petroglyphs are also found along the river bank. Trails along the river are used for packtrains, the representatives said. If these areas were flooded, much of the natural beauty and recreationwould dissolve. The river is also famous for its great white sturgeon. It is highly probable that these fishwould become extinct if dams were built, they added. Almskaar and Pyle urged persons interested inpreserving Hell's Canyon to do two things: 1) Write their congressmen in favor of permanent preservation of Hell's Canyon. 2) Join the Hell's Canyon Preservation Committee.

There is joy in the completed notebook; there is peace "that passcth understanding" accompanying the surrender of the final lesson plan; but these arc as the elementary certificate is to the normal diploma, compared with the satisfaction of the crowded reading slip. An empty slip carries with it a sense of desolation and loneliness. Its vacant spaces — author, title, chapters, pages, time — have a melancholy blankness. But fill them, and what a change! I detest a slovenly slip. Time, pages, all should he recorded. An ugly gap has no rightful place on such an object of beauty. There is a certain solemnity to the completed slip. A written statement, preceded by the signed name, bears something of the authority of a will. And what a test upon the honesty of the student. How long did it really take to read those ten pages? Those ten pages that were skipped — should they (Continued on page 2.) 10 LEAVE FOR EAST Miss Woodard came to Bellingham five years ago from Boise, Idaho, where she had been teaching in the high school. The first week here she visited over one hundred houses in which Normal girls were lodged, and she hasn't slackened the pace for a second since then. We are all more or less familiar with her as excuse writer, home locater and job finder for the needy. Besides these humdrum, continuous tasks, Miss Woodard finds time for dozens of more interesting duties, such as organizing the groups known as The Business Girls, the Far Away Girls, the Home Girls and to stand sponsor for the Alethea, the Young Women's Christian Association and the Bible study class. And a proof that her mental capacity is not to be measured by physical slightness, this protege of resourcefulness conducts conferences with the house mothers of Normal students, which are of inestimable value to the student and the town. She is preceptress of Edens Hall, and. is often called upon to speak to Parent-continued on page 2.) gt;mi i minimi mi niimmimimm m i i mmmiimiiii i mimmiimmi i mm i miimnmi minimi mmmimiimi : = ^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii gt;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iimmmmiimmmmiimmimmmiMiiimmmimmmiiiiipiE £ gt;umtt an Bdltngljam lay | | A sunset on Bellingham waters || | j / watched as its splendor passed by — || 1| A vision,, transcendent in glory, ff f| Of nature and highland and sky. || §1 The sun, sinking low 'nealh the ocean || f| In haste for his long, nightly rest, || i | Had flushed with a rosy radience. || I| The heights of the deep wide west. || 11 And the bay, lying limpid beneath it |1 1| All lulled in a peaceful hush, |j Ij Smiled up to the glowing heavens l| !| And caught in their depths their flush, |f l| 'Till the stretch of the shining water || II And the stretch of those heavenly heights || || Were glowing and flaming with crimson If || In myriad shadows and lights. || || A sail on the distant water || |j Shone out like a faint white star. || If And the glinting of snowy gull wings |l If Was flashed to me from afar. || 11 Then slow, like a dream that, is fading, || ;!

II KATHIE MOORE. SENIOR RECEPTION Dr. and Mrs. Nash entertained the graduating Seniors at a reception at their home Friday night. Most of the August graduates' and faculty were there, and all enjoyed one of the pleas-antest evenings of the year. Mrs. Nash accompanied by Mrs. Shaw delighted the guests with several musical numbers. Mr. Lyons led in some rounds and jolly songs. Dr. Miller and Dr. Nash' talked to the graduates, assuring them of their interest and best wishes for the future. In the round, where each introduced himself, many who had not known each other before began new friendships, while others strengthened old ones. Their attractive home, artistically arranged, was most inviting to all, and we came away feeling grateful for the hospitality we received at our last gathering of the class. AN APPRECIATION The journalism class spent a very profitable and enjoyable hour Tuesday when they received a reply from the questions sent to Mrs. Higginson. She was interviewed recently by a member of the class, and consented to answer some questions about the writing and publishing of stories which the class wished to ask her. Her report was greatly appreciated for the members of the class realize that from her busy life Mrs. Higginson gave a part of her valuable time for their benefit, and showed real interest in their efforts. We take this opportunity of expressing our thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Higginson for her suggestions, and interest in our work. SERMON DELIVERED SUNDAY BV REV. BACCALAUREATE SERMON IS IMPRESSIVE AFFAIR — MANY ATTEND The baccalaureate sermon delivered by Rev. II. S. Templeton at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday was a most inspiring one. The text, " I will lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence Cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth," filled the minds of the graduates and faculty as well as other members of the congregation with higher ideals of life. The mountains typify strength, worthiness and a successful mountain climber must have courage, perseverance and lofty ideals. It is not easy to gain the mountain top. Most of us in climbing have experienced the fog of discouragement, but after struggling a little farther up we have passed through the cloud and enjoyed the glorious sunshine of achievement. So with teaching, it is ever an experience of climbing toward the mountain top, to get the never ending source of supply that gives us vision for the future and incentive for today. The mountains help us mentally, physically and spiritually. Many people find health in the mountain while others find mental repose and rest. Like the woman who was told to look up from her work toward the mountain to rest her eyes, Ave teachers can find there strong inspiration and calm repose in looking up. But the greatest blessing we may get from the mountain is spiritual help. (Continued on page 2.) E OF A G000 TEACHER We have all heard the expression, " I love my teacher." It comes to us spontaneously from the little people in the primary grades, who love and trust their teacher second only to mother. It reaches us occasionally from some appreciative high school student, who admits reluctantly that his teacher "is square." But when you hear .Normal, college or university students frankly confessing their affection, you realize this is an honest-to-goodness feeling which defies all argument, and you wonder upon what it is based. Upon what, then, does this unexampled understanding rest? Let a student from this Normal tell you of his conception of a good teacher, or teachers, for there are fifty of them here, each one perfect in the eyes of his followers. Far he it from me to say which of the fifty contain all the idealistic characteristics of my favorite, for they have personalities as different as night from (Continued on page 2.) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 August 19 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1921 CONCERNING READING SLIPS (Continued from page 1.) be counted? Even the final result set down in blue and white — the prevailing color of fountain pen ink is blue — does not always look truthful. I well remember one class in which the major part of the work consisted of outside' reading. The day following the surrender of the slips Miss appeared with them in her hand. The remainder of the period was spent in reporting on specific articles selected from the individual slips by the wary instructor. Great was the consternation that prevailed. In the cases of some unfortunate students authors and titles suggested no response. The effect on later preparation of slips was remarkable. The time basis is the only fair one. Pages, from those of the magazine article to the encyclopaedia, are variant, uneven and open to the temptation to skip. Time, although hard to record, provides an equal standard for all. Those last few hours! How wearily they go by! How like the ride of the famous Sheridan is the progress made! The goal is fifteen — ten — five miles — or hours — away. Yet what comfort is found in the carefully added column. The half, quarter and third hours are vexing but a real satisfaction when added. And the happiness of the final computation is like that of the miser who hoards his rich gold. B.S. N.S. THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON (Continued from page 1.) There are songs which might well be called "Songs of Ascent," for they inspire us to see the light which God in the heavens bestows upon us. Rev. Templeton gave us some practical advice which all teachers should bear in mind. The teacher is the one who moulds the lives of the coming generation and her responsibilities as well as her opportunities and privileges are correspondingly great. She should be a loving and sympathetic guide, who will help lift her community above the level of everyday grind. Unfortunately there are two kinds of teachers, the wooden, or for-pay-only-teacher, and the other who feels the joy of service. He applied Robert Speer's advice to outgoing missionaries by saying, " If you have not the love of children and a joy of service in your hearts, I pray you turn back now." There are many mountains in Bible history closely related to the spiritual ideals of the people, the greatest of which are Mt. Carmel, the mountain of decision, and Calvary, the mountain of hope and forgiveness. Rev. Temple-ton's message will linger in our minds and'hearts as one of the helpful memories of the closing days. B.S.N.S. MISS WOODARD LEAVES (Continued from page 1.) Teacher meetings, community center gatherings and on like occasions. Needless to say at all these public • conferences Bellingham Normal has reason to be proud of the dean- of women. She is an active member of the Aftermath Club and of the Collegiate Alumni, and still finds energy to be working for a Doctor's degree — having long since received the Master's degree from the University of Chicago. But all of life is not measured by action, or achievement, or progress, and these many activities just demonstrate to external eyes what we are so proud of ourselves — that in Miss Woodard we have a woman who knows and loves girls, who is tireless in her zeal for girls, who is herself an unsurpassed example of Christian worth, of womanly grace and of personal charm — for the girls of. Bellingham. Although we shall miss her during the next quarter, we hope that she will have the very nicest vacation ever, and come back to us rested and happy — and ready to be worked hard —for we certainly need her. A STUDENT'S CONCEPTION OF A GOOD TEACHER (Continued from page 1.) day. Their physical makeup does not enter into my estimate of their true worth, for though they have the form of an agel or a god, and lack a sympathy of understanding, to me they are as nothing. Our teachers are large and small, stout and frail, old and young; their eyes flash, sparkle, accuse, encourage or condemn in spite of the fact that a prominent lecturer denounced this from the Chautauqua platform; we have teachers- with golden locks, and the raven hair of the proverbial Indian; others whose heads the years have silvered, and (excuse me) others whose crowning glory has almost departed. Then " there are smiles — faculty smiles — that make us happy, and there are smiles that make us blue," as we sing in assembly. Then we have teachers who express their thoughts in voices sweet and low, kind and musical, harsh and commanding, convincing and pleading, to which we listen daily. Teachers with degrees and without them; teachers learned and teachers ordinary; so from these many types, allow me to choose those attributes which appeal to me as being a part of a good teacher. My favorite Normal teacher has no particularly distinguishing physical characteristics. He is courteous, kind, considerate, helpful and encouraging. He seems to have a personal interest in each member of his class. His manner is quiet and unassuming. His voice is always low and his temper within reason. He possesses wonderful patience and never scolds. He dresses neatly and is careful of his personal appearance. He speaks to you when he meets you,, and remembers your name. If you need advice he administers it to you privately and in such a way that you feel it a privilege to have received it. He is a master of his subject, and possesses a mind which has been trained to impart, knowledge. He inspires the respect of his pupils. He creates in your mind, a desire to study, to learn, to accomplish. You are ashamed to appear before him with unprepared lessons, or to do an unworthy act in his presence. He has a pleasant manner, but smiles seldom; when he does smile, it means something. He is witty, up-to-date, friendly. He is not exacting, yet he gets the best effort of which you' are capable. He is distinctly human and does not pose as a superior human being. The " he " as used here is impersonal, so you are at liberty to guess which teacher I mean. There are fifty of them and I know you have your ideal teacher whom you unconsciously imitate. In fact, there are few of us here who cannot trace our first desire to teach back to some good teacher; so let us excuse the worst, and imitate the best in our most excellent faculty. B. S. N. S. • "OURSELVES AS ITHERS SEE US" Our visiting faculty members have, more or less frankly, stated their impressions of our school, and, since we are all vitally interested in the impressions we are constantly making on others, we take the liberty* of printing them: " By comparison, the type of work, the scope of the curriculae, the class of student and the work accomplished equals in strength that of any school of a similar type I have been connected with in the past twenty-one years." — D. E . WlEMrAX. * * * "Despite this drowsy atmosphere of Bellingham Bay, I am enjoying to the full my work in this institution and my fishing in the Sound. What can impart a livlier joy to the heart than to watch others work — yes, and make them work? " Certainly nowhere have I seen more consistent work or sensed a keener spirit of industry and scholarship than obtains at this school. From the day of my arrival I have marked the we're-here-to-work attitude. Nor have more than a mere teaspoonful of students with any other attitude fallen under my observation. " I was at first shocked at the paucity of men within these halls. Nine men out of ten weren't men at all. One of my own classes proved to be utterly feminine. It didn't seem quite right. I felt lonely, and would gladly have slunk home. But I am learning something each day. I am finding that these ladies are quite sensible, capable and human. I find, in fact, that they are in every way deserving to be called both men and scholars. " Of the high moral tone of this institution I need say only that I have heard nothing on this campus worse than " shucks" and have seen nothing worse than a milk-bottle. I hope I shall not be misunderstood when I say that this place is almost too good for me." — HoiSACE WlT.T.ISTOX. * * * ".What a glorious place to live! A beautiful sky, a beautiful sea, a beautiful city, a beautiful school home! And it is not all a mere superficial glamour. Here is the enthusiasm of young America. A faculty of trained, determined men and women; a student body that seems to know what it is here for and where it is going. It is this sort of institution that is preparing the West for the great part it is to play in America's future. To have lingered here for a little while and to have participated in this life will remain for me a sweet memory." — Dit. SEAHS. * * * "A wonderful location, a splendid school; students with a fine spirit and a faculty cordial to a visiting teacher, is my impression of the Bellingham Normal." — GAIT. COXA WAY. * * » " In the past a certain generalization in regard to state schools of any kind has always kept itself in reserve in a dusty corner of my brain. The few with which I have come in contact seemed to be filled with snobbishness, inequality, and a sort of intellectual self-satisfaction; and I have entertained a suspicion that these things were common to all state schools. But I find that the Bellingham Normal School, whatever may be its faults, does not justify my suspicions. Democracy, cordiality among faculty members and students, and a fine atmosphere of scholarship and professional zeal are here. To work in such a place is- a pleasure. I have had. a " buster" of a time this summer." — HOHACE RAHSKOPF. * # # " Inasmuch as I live in the realm of music, more or less, I hope that I may be pardoned for interpreting my impressions in my own terms: This diminished apace will not permit me to voice the whole and full, measure of my impressions in a few lines and phrases. As a prelude, I will say that my itrodiiction to your surroundings filled me with (/lee, and that harmony has been the theme and motive of my sojourn here. In being transposed from Tacoma to Bellingham, I could not help, but not the tone of serioso which seems to be dominant in Bellingham Normal. During this short interval of time I have become a tuned, in no small degree, to the spirit of progression, which has been to me a brace and a tonic. My pulse beats animato as I think of the scores who are making teaching their major subject and staff of life. . And while I pause for breath, I wish to say that this registers no slur upon a minor profession, whose scale or mode of living might bar them from our exalted sphere. This is but expressing it moderately and hardly a sixteenth of what I feel", as a march into the stress of the finale of the quarter. A tender chord has been touched which will lie me with a band of suite memories and hold to me for the rest of my days. You may think that this has been accidental, but let me repeat, the tenor of these remarks (while they are perhaps flat) I had hoped to have B sharp. But, begging your pardon, I have tried to B natural." — Jonx HEXRY LYOXS.

In one sense of the word you are glad that you are finishing; in another sense, you regret it very much. You will always cherish fond recollections of the friendships you have made here, of the students with whom you have been associated, and of the teachers who have been so considerate and sympathetic during the two years which you are now finishing. Whether you teach in this community, or whether you go east of the big river, or where ever you go, I wish you well. I wish you no more than your full share of life's responsibility, and I wish you no less than the very best that life affords. On behalf of the class which you are now leaving, I bid you Godspeed and hope that success will follow in your footsteps where ever you go, and that there will always be in your hearts loyalty to the school and its ideals. • B. S. N. S. The Messenger force lost a valued member when Olive Meachem returned to her home in Seattle. We miss the inspiration and enthusiasm that Miss Meacham always brought to the task at hand. It is a pleasure to know that these qualities are to be carried over into a larger field of activity. With rare courage, Miss Meachem will undertake the practical demonstration of an original project in education to which she has devoted several years of study and preparation. After graduating from Queen Anne High School and studying at the University of Washington, Miss Meachem studied kindergarten and primary methods in Chicago, always with this definite purpose in mind. Her many B. S. N. S. friends wish her all success in her new endeavor. B.S.N.S. AN APPRECIATION Miss Vera Moffat, for the past three years physical education director at the B. S. N*. S., will leave at the end of this quarter. Miss Moffat came to us from The Dalles, Oregon, where she was engaged in similar work, and in these three years she has brought the Physical Education Department up to a very high standard, besides winning for herself a warm spot in the hearts of all who knew her. Miss Moffat has had charge of the May Festival given on the campus every spring. Besides this, the P. E. girls, under her direction, have furnished features for Normal School programs and the Tulip Festival given annually in Bellingham. By nature she is very sympathetic, and always anxious to help those who are most in need of it. She has many friends among those who have come to know her best, and all who have been questioned concerning her have replied, " Oh, you can say anything good. There is nothing too good to' be said about her." Miss Moffat has not as yet fully com-pleted for. plans for the coming year, but from here she will go to her home in Portland for her vacation. But whatever she does, she carries with her the good will and best wishes of the B. S. N. S. B.S.N.S. AT CLOSE OF SCHOOL E3^es free of strain will make y o ur reading and studying easier. Consult WOLL the optometrist, 205 W .Holly. The summer term is ending and students now a-packing, meanwhile they study for they know their credits still need backing. Full many a student in days gone past has become less gay, but wiser, because he " cut" the last long-week and became a noon-time riser. Now the summer normal of 'twenty-one (you know it's a record breaker) will win just one more sweepstakes race by having not one faker. There are lectures nearly every day, and musicals by night, there are swimming parties at the lake — we try with all our might to attend them all, and still appear to interested be, and when in class we whisper, " Oh, I hope he calls on me." There is "As You Like I t " performed on the lawn, and one more weiner party, it is true we're getting quite confused, but still look well and hearty. We're learning what it means to be a real society queen, by being out from dark to dawn, and dancing on the green. Our bulging trunks are almost packed, our rooms are all upset, but we're happy 'cause we're going home with a contract we hoped to get. Those hats we bought along in June — how we- wish we had the money! We need a new fall suit much worse, now aren't women funny? We wash an'd mend and put away our summer wardrobe gay, we need some new fall toggery before we go away. The normal men are packing too, but what a different style, they wait till Friday afternoon, then put it off a while. They walk about the city streets greeting old friends and new, contented with the clothes they wear, their troubles only few. Along about an hour before their trains will start, they calmly fold their Sunday clothes and are ready to depart. The hill will soon be silent, we're leaving soon, you bet. Then instead of smiling faces in the windows — Rooms to Let. We're going now, and glad of course; yet sorry, too, we'll say, for we've had a very happy and profitable summer stay. Sometime perhaps, we'll come again, say nineteen-twenty-two, till then, classmates and teachers, good luck, adieu to you. — Anon. B.S.N.S. TWO RUNAWAYS I was born and passed the first three years of my life on the land which my grandfather homesteade,d in the pioneer day of Western Pennsylvania. This particular piece of land lay " in the forks of the Shenango," and fell to my father as his inheritance, together with the care of his aged mother. From the conversations of my elders I know that the path of a canal lay through this land and that a railroad passed close by — wonderful attractions to the small boys, and a source of infinite worry to their guardians. Even the neighbors have been known to report having seen " a red-headed boy on the railroad track. My personal recollections include the big, wide kitchen full of children, with a busy mother, grandmother's seat by the fire, her bedroom and a tiny girl who insisted on carrying her pillows back and forth; the back porch witli its dog chrun and old Jack hiding in the grass when he heard the sounds of preparation; the day of the sale when we left this home for a new one in Eastern Kansas. The little rocking chair was saved from the sale because the same small girl sat upon it until promised that she might keep it, and — the runaways. The large white house sat back from the road and was reached by a lane with a worn fence on either side and chestnut trees at "the corner." On this particular Sabbath morning my parents took the older children and the baby with them to church, charging my scarcely four-year-old brother to stay by grandmother, aged ninety, and to look after his smaller sister.

Oh, the long, long way to that corner — a quarter of a mile — but the inducements that were held out as we went along — the wonderful sand pile and the shady trees — it was a hot day and the baby limbs needed inducements — and the ride home when the folks returned! I think that brother of mine was intended for a diplomat, but lie somehow missed his calling. He is just a plain farmer now. Well, " it is a long lane that has no turning," and we finally reached the corner — and the sand pile — and the shady trees, and they were just as delightful as pictured, and of course no thought of the worried grandmother spoiled our play. However, the young diplomat had to use his powers of persuasion several times to keep little sister contented until finally the buggy appeared, quite suddenly, bringing the family home. But oh, the awful heights of that buggy seat, and the terrible climb over the wheel! But how secure I felt when, seated between my father and mother we drove down the long lane to the house, and the anxious grandmother who could not hunt for two runaway children. But I think the one thing which fixed it forever in my baby mind was the surprising fact that -my brother was "1921' CLASS PINS MULLER ASPLUND JEWELERS Next to First National Bank MORSE HARDWARE COMPANY 1025 ELK ESTABLISHED 1884 Distributors of ATHLETIC AND SPORTING GOODS Samson Auto Tires scolded for something — and not one word was said to me! ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 August 19 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1921 THE WEEKLY cTMESSENGERp Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

It has seen many editors, many reporters, and knows how they feel when the last issue, the last word, has been printed. The editor and the staff are about to pass to their just reward; the issues stand as a trumpeter of their aspirations, their aims and their ability. Each staff of the past has worked hard or little, some for academic credit, or glory, some for the experiences, and others for the ideals they wished to bring forth. We have worked hard, not for glory, but for the good of the school, for the ideals that teachers stand for. Our efforts have been restricted; the paper was cut to six pages, and the advertising space increased. This was necessary because funds were not sufficient to carry it on. The bright thoughts gleaned for you were impossible because space was denied us. And so it comes to pass that the editor is forced to close the doors and pass the quills and ink, the paste pot and the shears to another and bid him " bon voyage." He thanks sincerely the staff and Miss Edens and Miss Sperry for the big part they played, for they have been the cause for whatever success the paper has attained. He thanks the students who have contributed, and he thanks you too, Mr. Advertiser, for your support in making this paper possible. Our task is finished, the school is closing, the students are passing out and there will be no one to read the columns, so it behooves us to draw the curtain and go to our rest.

This is the last time — the last week — the last Messenger. At the beginning the quarter seemed endless. Now, even the possession of two bright new credits in English would hardly suffice to cheer up the Messenger scribes. With sad, slow paces they have scoured earth, sky, the sea and campus for the ever elusive " news," hoping, for the last time, that there will be enough to fill the Messenger. Even now their halting steps carry their trembling fingers and throbbing hearts to the pile of papers on the landing, as for the last time they scan the columns .eagerly. " Is it a good one this time?" "Shades of the ancient scribes! Here's hoping it's better than last week! " Then, gloomy, grouchy, sullenly the scribes will depart, and the Messenger will be left — in alien hands, to a new editor and a new staff. The king is dead! Treat it gently, you new custodians of our treasured paper. It isn't used to being overworked. Don't polish it with midnight oil — just let it shine with each illuminating gleam of the faculty. Record their sittings down and risings up, for sometime the faculty will die — never mind about the bright students, they will be here forever. Above all, you scribes-to-be, don't forget that the joy of the editor consists in having the paper late, so get your copy in twenty-four hours after it's due — without fail.

He visited the University at Berkeley where he met Miss Moffat and Miss Crawford, faculty members of our school attending the summer school there. He also made a tentative arrangement with Dr. Noway of the Geography Department that Mr. Hunt of our Geography Department accept a fellowship in geography at Berkeley next quarter. At the San Francisco Normal School, Dr. Nash met Dr. F. W. Epply, a member of the first B. S. N. S. faculty, and also Guy S. Allison, a graduate of our school. The six days of Dr. Nash's trip were brimful of interest and pleasure. B.S.N.S. VACATION TIME As vacation time draws near every student is planning a pleasant trip home, but it seems more difficult for the members of the faculty to decide how they will spend their vacation. Maybe it is because vacations are rare events for them, that it is so hard for them to decide but many have. Miss Longley will go to Fox Island and rest until the fall quarter begins. Miss Druse is planning a trip as far into Canada as she can go and hopes to find new inspirations for next year. Mr. -Kibbe would like to climb Mt. Rainier with Mr. Bond, but is undecided yet. Miss Wilson intends to enjoy life in her brown " bug," as she calls it, traveling up and down the coast. Mr. Kolstad will spend his first week fishing.

The somewhat nibbled edges of his straw hat were pulled down quite far over a lot of red hair that hung at various angles over his eyes. The stick he had been whittling on lay beside him on the plank, his chin rested on his hands, and his small sunburned feet dangled disconsolately in the water. The plank rocked vigorously, and a blue gingham apron, a blue sunbonnet, two black eyes, and a freckled face planted themselves at Ills side. Susie Black was not bashful, but she had her own ideas as to how ladies should be treated. So she said not a word, and proceeded to untie her sunbonnet and slick back her hair, while two more dark hued bare feet started dangling in the pond. The silence became awful. A frog croaked far over at the other side of the pond, and Jimmie picked up the stick and threw it at him. Susie felt matters were pressing, and that her duty was plain. " Well, I hope you're havin' a good time. Why ain't you a-fishin' with the kids?" Still Jimmie said nothing, and Susie sought other means. She fished around in her pinafore pocket and triumphantly produced what remained of a gingersnap, which she presented to Jimmie. " Here, take this." Jimmie looked up long enough to accept the cake, then assumed his former attitude. " I saved it a-purpose fer you. Say, Jim, if you're a-worryin' 'bout what Sally Green said 'bout your red hair, you don't need to. She thinks she's smart because she's got a new hair ribbon. Teacher said my g'ography was best, though. Say, ain't teacher got a pretty apron?" The gingersnap was working. " Yes," answered Jimmie. " Have you finished your new boat yet?" " Yes, an' she's got blue eyes, an' her hair ain't red." "Who?" sharply. " Teacher." " Well, Jimmie Jones! " There was a decided scorn in Susie's voice. " Was it you that brought that big bunch of dandelions ? " Jimmie's face changed hue slightly under the freckles, but he turned around to face Susie with such vim that that person had visions for a moment of a dip in the pond. " You don't need to knock a person over! " Susie tossed her little black pigtail over her shoulder haughtily. " I never saw you act so queer, Jimmie Jones. What's the matter with you ? " . Cross your heart an' hope to die, you won't tell no one, if I tell you, Susie? " " I ain't no tattletail. I guess you know I ain't. You copied every bit of your 'rithmetic from mine this mornin'." Susie looked slightly hurt. " Yes, I know." Jimmie looked desperately at the water for a minute. " Well, I'm in love with teacher. There!" The frog croaked again, much louder than before. Susie remained serene, and Jimmie felt better. "Well, what about it? Did she refuse, or ain't you proposed yet? " Jimmie's eyes opened a little wider, and he pushed his hat up from his hair a little, as he looked admiringly at Susie. " No, I ain't proposed yet. You see, teacher don't know nothin' about it yet." " Oh." Silence prevailed for a minute or so, and Jimmie's toes meandered back and forth in the water. A snake swam across in front of them and wriggled up onto the opposite bank. "Well, then why don't you 'lope?" "Lope? What's that?" Jimmie looked dubious. "Well," resumed Susie, crossing her hands in her lap and donning a superior air, "It's like this: When you get in love and ain't got much of a chancet, you gotta decide to steal her an' run .off. Mostly she knows about it, too, but that won't make much difference. You can 'lope, Jimmie Jones; I'll help you." A look of joy mingled with fear ovei'- spread Jimmie's face. But Susie's voice was confident, and that was all that was necessary. " How'll we do it, Susie? " " Let me see, now." The black eyes were very deep for a few moments. " Why, Jimmie, you can 'lope this very night!" " But, how, Susie," Jimmie's heart was moving quite lively. " Teacher's up to school yet, puttin' on our 'rithmetic for tomorrow. All the kids is gone,' and anyway the trees is all around, and she'll be sciart, and we can, jist as easy as anything. I'll tell her, if you're a-scared." " But what'll I do with her after we get 'loped?" " Take' her to your tepee across the pond there, and live like Injuns, of course. Ain't you never read no books, Jimmie Jones! " Susie looked deprecat-ingly at Jimmie. " Come on, we gotta hurry up or she'll be gone." She seized Jimmie by the arm and almost lost her balance, and in a short order was across the plank and on the other side of the pond. Jimmie followed, a faint wish in his mind that he hadn't told Susie anything about it. Across the pebbles, through the alders, over the fence, up the little winding path, until they reached the little gray schoolhouse standing on a small knoll among the trees. The door stood ajar, and various noises affirmed that the teacher was still there. " She's here, all right. Now, Jimmie, you sneak up and pull the door to, quiet, an' tie it outside, because you're supposed to 'lope through the window. Don't make any noise, an' I'll climb up and tell her." All in a very loud whisper into Jimmie's ear. "All right," returned the other whisper, more timidly. " I'll wait. What if she won't come, Susie?" There was a hopeful chord in Jimmie's voice. "Oh, she'll come. They did in the book. She'll think it's great to get out o' teachin' school so easy. You give me a boost." Susie moved cautiously to a place under the window, and Jimmie followed. " Say, Susie, are you goin' to 'lope, too?" " No, of course I ain't. You don't know anything, Jimmie Jones. It just needs two to 'lope." "All right, but won't you walk down to the fence with us? She might be kinda scairt if she ain't never 'loped before." "Well, I'll see. Now, be sure " A window opened with a bang. Something happened. Jimmie looked at Susie and Susie at Jimmie. A blue sunbonnet hung limp over a tip-tilted nose, and a dejected wreath of gorgeous yellow dandelions hung around a nibbled straw hat. Jimmie looked up at the window, to where there were two or three more dangling on the sill. It was too much. Without looking again at Susie, he took to his heels. Susie watched him till he disappeared through the fence. Then she straightened the limp sunbonnet, took another look at the dandelions, and started down the path with dignity. "Well, I always did think boys was kind of queer," she remarked to herself. B.S.N.S. AT SCHOOL CLOSE The end has come, as come-it must To all things; in these summer days.

VALUABLE VACATION READING The chief tiling a teacher has to do is teach school. Quite obvious? Yes, unless you ask what else she has to do. This depends on what else she can do. The most successful teacher is a live, intelligent, broad-minded member of the community which pays her salary. She knows something of the problems of that district, but not necessarily from the narrow, privileged point of view of the local papers. In these times of community centers, socialized education, and rural enterprise an. appreciative background of certain local problems, that are parts of national problems, is a vital necessity, particularly to the teacher. Among these problems are the tariff, immigration, Alaskan enterprise and its bearing on Washington industry, the movement of religious thought, regarding unity, missionary enterprise and home evangelization, and the wage adjustments. No better method could be found of passing the quiet hours of vacation than to purchase copies of such current magazines as the World's Work, Review of Reviews, the Missionary Review of the [ World, Collier's, Literary Digest and j The Outlook, and read for enjoyment, at the same time getting this valuable background of facts for use in the neighborhood where you will serve next I year. Your chief duty is to teach school, but the more you are able to lead the j minds and discussions of the people ] themselves, the more they will value you. B.S.N.S.

BISSET SPEAKS AMERICAN Belling'ham's Largest Playhouse The People's Preference Where Every Picture Pleases The "students and faculty members enjoyed the inspiring talk given last Friday by Professor Bisset of the University of Washington. The values of life, he said, could not be written in a ledger; the best things in life cannot be measured in worldly goods. The real payment for good work comes from within the soul, in the satisfaction of having done good.
