If you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. Only 129 of 1375 had courage to make thedonation, and the odds are that YOU were not one of that number. Wednesday night, about an hourbefore the closing of the bank for another three months, a call was received from Bob Brooks, assistantchairman of the blood bank, who gave us the sad news, and stated that only 700 of the desired 1100 pints had been given by the entire city, the College included. He added that as he was talking, there were afew bus-loads of Air Force men giving their pint (number included in the total). So you think that it is onlyproper that service men here in the states donate, and that you are exempt? Well remember this, youCollege fellows: you are only deferred . . . NOT exempt! And that means, furthermore, that you are doubly NOT exempt from giving that pint. The rest of the students, and the total number of faculty likewisehave no excuse unless there is some medical reason, and medical reasons surely cannot total 1246persons! It is because your time is more valuable doing something else? In any event, it is too late tochange your mind and give that pint of blood this fall. Let us hopei that more students and faculty beginto realize by the time the next drive comes along that the war in Korea is not merely a police action to the fellows doing the fighting, and that the words "your blood is needed NOW" is not just a slogan forpublicity purposes. Criminologist Talks Murder "Give your police a square deal!" exhorted RichardHarrison, British expert criminologist, author, and speaker last Tuesday, when lecturing on Crimeâ€”It'sCost, Cause and Cure. Mr. Harrison blamed the high incidence of crime in the United States ascompared with Britain on the attitude of the American people in not supporting the police organizations.*Time and again Mr. Harrison pleaded that Americans "give the police a square deal" by paying themsatisfactory wages, giving them adequate training, and standing behind them and give them activehelp. The speaker also contrasted the British and American courts. In illustrating the quick but fairjustice meted out in England, he told of two murderers who were apprehended, tried, sentenced,and hanged within nine weeks after they had committed the murder. A quiet but precise speaker, Mr.Harrison held the attention of the audience, and received a prolonged ovation at the end of his lecture.Snoopin The honor system is one in which the instructor has the honor and the student has the system.

The Scragsters managed to win by a percentagepoint in having the most girls plus escorts at the Homecoming dance. Ten dollars parted companyand is now hiding somewhere among the Scragsters. The Spinsters smoldered and fumed, silently but effectively, biding their time. At last with a shout of triumph which echoed from Se-home hill toChuckanut drive, they have proclaimed themselves the REAL WINNERS of the feud. "A ring in the handis worth twelve on the telephone," brag the Spinsters as they proudly exhibit the proof of their claim.Miss Donna Arlene Diamond of Bellevue, a prominent inmate of Spencer hall, has announced herengagemet to Mr. Harvey E.

The purpose of such an organization would be to acquaintits members with current material in the fields of health, PE, and recreation, to discuss problems whichmight arise through student teaching, and in general to provide a foundation for better understanding of the field as it pertains to a prospective teacher. The intial steps have been taken in its formation; all that isneeded now is the backing of the Physical Education majors and minors.

Viks Lose to Strong Pacific Trails In Non-Conference Team Play ByWAYNE DRALLE and DALE MANSUR "Our ball club is only as strong as our reserves," stated CoachBill McDonald after the game with Pacific Trails last Tuesday night. Big Mac stated that he was going tocontinue to wait until game time before announcing the starting lineup as he has been doing since hischoice is influenced by the opposing team's show during warm-up. Pacific Trails, the strong hide-*â€” ;pendent team from Seattle, took the Hill Toppers to the laundry 64-54 in a game which resembled an"every man for himself" strategy. With such power as Parthemer formerly of the University ofWashington, and Fieser, formerly of Seattle University, the lack of practice on definite plays bythe Western squad should have made it easy for the Jackets to wax the Vikings by 20 points instead of10. Bob Stone's 18 points and Bob Woodman's 12 ringers held Pacific Trails to a 10 point lead at thehalf, and again at the close of the battle. In the preliminary game, Blaine Airforce base defeated theJayvees, 50-44.

Theproposal is receiving strong support from educators, business leaders and legislators in Tacoma and theBothell area. A large number of proponents attc lt;y d HEC Board public hearings Wednesday andThursday at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle. The Higher Education Board plans to vote on the University ofWashington branch campus proposal in October. Many HEC Board members favor building the branchcampuses before raising enrollment lids at Western and the state's other public universities and colleges. Western seeks to add 500 students by 1990 to its current number of 8,250 full-time students, andanother 500 the year after. Raising the enrollment lid is a key goal of Western administrators,President Kenneth Mortimer has said. The university turned away hundreds of qualified applicants thisfall. The UW plans to offer junior- and senior-level and graduate courses at branch campuses in theTacoma and Bothell areas. UW officials are asking see HEC, p. 2 Cedar Lau clings to his father, Jeff, and his bottle on a trek around campus Tuesday. Jesse TinsleyAhe Front Outback cabins close, fail to meet building codes By The Western Front staff The rustic Outback Farm cabins at Fairhaven College havebeen closed because the cabins don't meet building codes, spurring the appointment of a committeeto determine the farm's future. Because Western is self-insured, it could be liable for injuries or deathconnected with the cabins. The decision to close the cabins came after several weeks of study byWestern administrators including acting vice president for Academic Affairs Sam Kelly, deans atFairhaven and Huxley colleges and Risk Management Office staff The Outback farm looks desolate aftercabins failed to meet building codes. Jesse TinsleyAhe Front members. Don Norman, a graduatestudent at Huxley, had lived at the cabins since January, paying $33 a month, plus labor on the farm. He now lives off campus with a friend. A seven-member committee has formed to examine the future of the cabins and the Outback farm, which has been threatened by declining interest in the project andproposals for a parking lot on the site. A south campus parking plan would pave over the farm ifenrollment hit 12,000. The legislature isn't expected to lift the enrollment lid, however. After meetingsin Octobor the committee will submit its findings to Fairhaven and Huxley deans. The two wooden cabins were built in 1929 by the Burn family on a ridge between what is now Fairhaven College and BuchananTowers. Furnished with wood heat and kerosene light, some Fairhaven students since the mid-1970shave favored simple living in the cabins. Committee chairman Ernst Gayden, a Huxley professor, saidchanges are needed at the Outback. "It never had any real support from Fairhaven College or theuniversity as a whole," Gayden said. "There is no academic unit on campus that would handle it.We have no horticulture or agriculture programs." Gayden and Fairhaven professor Gary Bornzinagreed that hiring a caretaker .to oversee the farm and coordinate projects would help. Gayden said onecabin could be remodeled for a caretaker and the other for student use. Bornzin said the program alsoneeds the attention of university departments that have benefitted from the Outback's educationalexperiences. He said instructors from environmental science, education and art classes have used the farm's resources in their classes. "It's interesting, creative and worthwhile," Bornzin said. "Beyond that,it's educational." Dan Burgland, a junior French and English major, lived in the cabins during the 1986-87 school year. "The cabins are just as safe, if not saferthan the dorms,"Burgland said, adding hewondered about the structural problems of the cabins. He and Norman noted the program didn'treceive adequate support. It's annual budget was only $350. Burgland said money and pub-seeOUTBACK, p. 3 ---------- Western Front - 1988 September 30 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1988 300 on waiting list for parking permits ByErika Williams of The Western Front The long lines at the campus parking office are gone, but theproblem of finding a parking spot is far from over. A sign greets visitors at the parking office, whichstates more than 300 students this quarter are on a waiting list. Only 100 of them will receive permits,parking officials say. "We may be stretching it to the outer limit," said Ann Wallace of the campusparking office. The added P-lot permits are in response to an overwhelming request for on-campusparking this year. The office annually offers advance registration for permits starting in late May andending in August. In the past, this left a reasonable supply of permits for the first few weeks of fallquarter, she said. P-lot permits sold out before the first week of school, she said. Students won't haveaccess to a limited number of G-lot permits that have been offered in the past. The permits usually areavailable only to faculty, staff and students with special needs. Wallace cited these reasons for theparking shortage: * Increased enrollment has put a strain on many areas of the campus. * More students who drove vehicles in through high school continue to use them for commuting to Western *Students are opting to bring their car to school rather than leaving it at home. A parking advisorycommittee, comprising staff, faculty and students, will explore options to improve the situation.Aparking garage will be one possibility, although an expensive one. The construction cost of a singleparking stall has been estimated at $2,500 to $3,000. The only revenue the office receives comes fromsale of permits and parking tickets, Wallace said. "We are here to try to meet people's needs, and it's frustrating for us when we can't do that," explains Wallace. HEC Board plans satellite campusescontinued from p. 1 asking for $29 million in the next biennium for first-stage operating and constructioncosts. Western Admissions Director Richard Riehl insisted the current proposal will not hurt Western.He said the branch campus proposal is extending education opportunities to more students in outlyingareas. The UW proposal is targeted to meet the needs of students who need to stay in the Puget Sound area in order to attend college, he said. "The students who will use the branch campuses are not thetypical young college students, but older students who have jobs and families and can't leave the Seattle area," Riehl said. "The branch campuses will be serving an under-served (part of the) population," hesaid. According to Western statistics, the median age of those students applying to Western is gettingyounger. But, he mentioned, "If the branch campuses become full-service universities in the next eight to ten 10 years, it could have a damaging effect," he said. Judy McNickle, assistant to the Western's president for governmental relations, a Western official attending the hearing, was unavailable forcomment. Rather than raising enrollment lids, supporters said building the branch campuses will betterserve the state's higher education needs. 111 N.SamishWay Next to Godfather's Pizza 11 A.M.To 10P.M.

WMFL's contract with Western expired Sept. 1, said Peter Harris, acting vice president for business and financial affairs.Administrators decided it would be better to let Western's in-house architects finish the job. "We werestunned," said Larry Hurlbert, one of the owners of WMFL. "We feel it is a wrongful termination." "Wefelt it was in our best interests," Harris said. He declined to say whether the dissatisfaction was withtime, budget or the quality of work. "I'm not even going to comment on the quality of work," He added.WMFL has worked with the university for five years, Hurlbert said. Their work on the new RossTechnology Building was recently named Best Institutional Project by the American Institute ofArchitecture. Hurlbert said he received a call Sept. 16 from Rick Benner, Western's chief architect,informing him the contract was terminated. When Hurlbert asked why, Benner declined to say. "Hedidn't want to discuss it over the phone," Hurlbert said. Benner confirmed WMFL's contract wasterminated but refused to comment. Hurlbert later received a letter from Benner listing nine reasons forthe termination. He would not name the reasons given in the letter, but he said WMFL took offense tosome of the points and that none were valid reasons for termination. "All the points given had beenapproved and completed with the acceptance of the university," Hurlbert said. Hurlbert said he neverreceived any indication the university was unhappy with the work prior to the Sept. 16 call. He saidRobert Bruce, Jesse Tmsley/the Front The new gallery in the Art-Tech building is far from finished.

"We were told we were doing a good job on adifficult project," Hurlbert said. Bruce said he had no knowledge of the termination. In addition, Hurlbertsaid he has received two letters of recommendation from the university. Kiels, Inc., of Lynden remains under contract to complete the construction, which was scheduled for completion September 1. TheArt-Tech building was built in 1948. Problems with rewiring and matching the plumbing and fixtures tothose originally installed slowed construction. Both Harris and Hurlbert said Kiels has been havingproblems with the project. "To my knowledge, Kiels has replaced the supervisor (of the project) threetimes," Hurlbert said. Hurlbert is scheduled to meet today with Benner and Harris to discuss thesituation. Harris said the meeting will not change the university's position and that WMFL will not berehired. "The project is essentially completed," he said. Western's architects have been working withthe contractors throughout the project, Harris said. He does not anticipate a problem with Western'sarchitects finishing the job alone and maintains that WMFL was not fired. "The transition will be prettysmooth," Harris said. Harris estimated the renovations to be completed in about two weeks. "It would beunfair to make such a statement," Harris said. He said it was strictly a matter of the contract expiringand the university choosing not to renew it. Hurlbert is currently negotiating for other projects in the areaand is concerned the termination will affect business. "We justdon't want a blemish on our record.We've been doing our darndest to work with the university, and we don't want to be damaged by what we consider to be a wrongful termination."

"It was a unique experience living in thecabins because it was all student run," Burgland said. Administrators would rather bring the cabins up to code than demolish them, said Bill Stolcis of the Risk Management office. "I would hate to see themtorn down, because they're part of an original homestead," Stolcis said. "The big problem is safety.They're tinderboxes." Fairhaven Dean Dan Lamer said the only way of reducing risks at the cabins is tobring them up to code, but modernizing them would destroy their simplicity. "There is no way of keepingthe cabins primitive and keeping them open," Larner said. Lamer hopes the cabins will still be able to be used for the benefit of all students, as "public utilities rather than private space." Students now aregrowing vegetables at the farm, and have had animals. Gayden favors planting experimentalgardens that would grow throughout the year with the help of solar cells. The practical use ofenvironmental science could be an attraction for local grade school and high school trips, he said.Animals, however, wouldn't work well with the farm, he said. The last animals living at the Outback weregoats and geese, but they were killed by neighbor dogs last fall. Campus Public Safety Officer JohnBrowne said vandals killed a pig with an ax at the Outback about eight years ago. Other peoplereportedly captured goats and let them loose in residence halls and, once, in the Humanities building.

By Theodore Grossof The Western Front On a rainy Saturday night fit for slugs and seals, Western's football team turnedout to be the slugs, and the University of Puget Sound Loggers, who had much to clap about, qualifyas the seals. The Loggers (1- 1) rolled over the Vikings 28-10, at Civic Stadium in Bellingham.Western's record is 0-2. Bad news? Sure, there's lots of it. Who wants to be a slug? But amidst themist there are some bright spots on the Vikings' record. Western outscored the Loggers 10-7 in thesecond half, and with a couple of fourth down conversions hefe and there, they could have made it close. Nearly 3,000 fans, packed the .home side of Civic Field as the teams sparred in a scoreless firstquarter. Then disaster struck the Vikings not once, not twice, but three times before halftime. Takingover at midfield, UPS quarterback, John Hansen, completed key passes to receivers ScottPlantenburg and Daniel Matheson, before running back Pat Pletcher took a pitch from four yards out toput the Loggers ahead 7-0. Two plays after the kickoff, a pass by Western quarterback John Barger wasintercepted at midfield. By Marc Duboiski of The Western Front An inexperienced Western men'ssoccer team found defeat in the form of a convincing 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the University ofWashington at Viking Field Saturday. This year's Vikings have nine freshmen on the team, exactlyone-half of the 18-man roster. "We're a very young team that ran into a much better Husky team,"coach Kevin Quinn said. "We also didn't take advantage of the scoring opportunities we had." The UWled at halftime, 4-0, after out-shooting the Vikings, 17-6. Western's defense stiffened in the The Loggerssawed through the Viking defense for 48 yards in nine ground plays to take a 14-0 lead. Two minuteslater, a Viking fumble gave the hungry Loggers another chance to start humming at midfield. This timethe key play was a 14-yard reverse touchdown run by Plantenberg. Puget Sound took their 21-0 lead into the locker room. At halftime Western fans finally had something to cheer about. To commemorate the50th anniversary of the only unbeaten, untied football team in Western's history, survivors of the 1938 (7-0-0) squad hobbled out onto the field. All too soon it was back to 1988. The Loggers bent overbackwards in the second half to help Western get back into the game, but the Vikings seemed towant no part of it. They managed only a 43-yard Paul LaBarge field goal despite recovering threefumbles in UPS territory. In the fourth quarter they repeatedly fizzled out on fourth down conversions deep in UPS territory. The lone Viking touchdown came on a 60-yard drive immediately following UPS' final score of the night. Quarterback Barger hit wide open receiver Mike Carrington for a 28-yardtouchdown pass to close out the scoring. Passing seemed to be the strong point of their attack.Completing 20 second half allowing one goal while freshman goalkeeper Paul Maycock made ninesaves. The Vikes were out-shot 17-8 in â€¢ the second half. "Our defense missed a lot of markingassignments, but Paul (Maycock) came up with some nice saves," Quinn said. The Vikings' overallrecord dropped to 3-4, while they are 1-1 in league play. This Saturday and Sunday Western takes on Central Washington University and Seattle University. Both games start at 3 p.m. at Viking Field behind Carver Gymnasium. "We should come away with two victories this weekend," Quinn said. out ot 40passes for 302 yards, John Barger proved himself to be an accurate medium-range passer.Unfortunately, under pressure, 'Lappy' By Molly Krogstadt of The Western Front' Fifty years later, the1938 Vikings still remains the only Western football team to accomplish an untied and undefeatedseason. When that season ended, the Vikings finished 7-0-0. Looking at this year's team and those ofthe past decade, the feat may be hard to beat. To celebrate the anniversary of the team's season, theathletic department and the Alumni Association sponsored a banquet Friday at Nendel's Inn. In all,22 members of the 1938 team attended the event, joined by athletic department staff, Westernadministrators, current Viking football coaches and senior football players and other guests. Most of thesurviving players attended, those who weren't killed during World War II, said Charles Lappenbusch,head coach of the 1938 team and keynote speaker at the banquet. He was celebrating his 80th birthday. The team was also honored at halftime of Saturday's game. Each member of the team was awarded aplaque. In 1938, "Lappy," as his players called him, began experimenting with a football strategy thatbecame known as the "Straight-Line Philosophy." He described this technique as "a workablephilosophy that cuts down on confusion, propagates teamwork, and doesn't insult your intelligence."Frank Chorvat, captain and quarterback of the 1938 team, summed up the idea from a player's aspectwhen he said, "If you don't know what the hell you're doing, then get out of the way." The defensiveformation consisted of six down linemen (then called "penetrators"), two flankers, the ball chaser, fullflexor and tail satiety. The strategy helped the defense, which contributed to the team's winning season. Barger came up short against the Loggers. His end zone interception toss early in the third quarter, and an incompletion on a fourth and two at the UPS 14 early in the fourth quarter, sucked the wind fromthe Vikings' sails. Wide receivers Mike Carrington (4 catches for 66 yards) and John Dickinson (4 for40), each possess the moves and quickness to get open deep. Scott Lohr (4 for 83) has good hands out of the "back field. Against UPS, Lohr chewed up 104yardsin26 carries on the ground. The offensivenumbers sound good, so where did the Vikings go wrong? The defense was burned for 250 yards on theground and another 200 yards in the air. However, the defense handed four turnovers to the offense.Penalties, 13 for 125 yards, are the main scourge of Western's offense. "We destroyed ourselves withthe penalties," Western coach Paul Hansen said. "There's no excuse for that. Practice is not going to befun for the next two weeks. They are going to run and run and run." At least one Viking will be running with more enthusiasm this week. Seeing his first collegiate action, highly touted freshman WalterBailey looked powerful on a 27-yard kick off return and a 5-yard punt return in the second half anddelivered some hard hits at defensive backs during the mop up period. shares memories JesseTinsley/the Front Charles "Lappy" Lappenbusch, coach of the undefeated 1938 Viking football team, wasamong Western's honored guests at a reunion banquet The offense provided an equal amount of help."We threw a lot; 15 or 20 passes a game," said Howard Jones, then a University of Washington transfer. In comparison, Jones remembers a game against Notre Dame in which neither team threw a pass allday. "We were the first team to throw that much," Lappenbusch said. The transfer of good players fromother schools also aided the Vikings' winning season. Besides Jones, three other starters transferredfrom the UW. Fred Baldwin, ball chaser, Don Bell, end, and Al Munkres, fullback, were all formerHuskies. Three other starters began then-college careers at other schools. Bob Tisdale, halfback,transferred from Washington State University, and tackles Vaughn Weber and Ed Reis-chman originallyplayed for St. Martin's College. "We didn't slaughter people," Tisdale said. "The team just rose to theoccasion, and that's what it takes." The remaining four starters included an end, Jim Hall, and guardsJim Hollingsworth and Russ Davis. Chorvat filled out Western's starting roster. The 1938 season openedwith a 6-3 victory over St. Martin's. The Vikings went on to defeat Fort Lewis, 20-7; Oregon Normal,13-0; and the UW freshman team, 6-0. The first Washington Intercollegiate Conference game wasagainst â€¢Central Washington and ended with a score of 7-0. Western then beat Pacific LutheranUniversity in a 33- 14 conference win. A parade and prep rally for the season finale against EasternWashington University blocked traffic in downtown Bellingham for 15 minutes on game night. Morethan 2,000 people watched Western beat the Savages in a 7-0 year-end victory at Battersby Field. Inthe second quarter Western scored the game's only points. In the third quarter the Savages had fourplays from the two-yard line, but were unable to score. The victory, according to Lappenbusch, largelybelonged to the defense. "Defense was the key," he said. "We couldn't have beaten Eastern with anordinary defense." The defeat marked the first time since 1927 that the Vikings had defeated Eastern. â€ž Men's and women's novice crews' first turnout will be Saturday.

You've just experienced The WorldWrestling Federation bout Thursday night at the Whatcom Sports Arena. Pretty exciting, huh? It istrue a WWK event is something that must be seen to believed. My trusty Accent photog and I pulled into the Whatcom Sports Arena with baited breath. Would the Bolslieviks stick it to the pride of Amer-ica." the Powers of Pain?" Would Hacksaw Jim use his 2X4? But must importantly, would the men-w ith-the-floorburned- faces want to step on ijs "Junior Journalists?" We pressed on. Kntering the bleak, pre-fabbuilding, my senses swirled in a fog of cigarette smoke, screaming children and the entire clothingdepartment of the Lakcway Fred Meyer. My photog roamed the reaches of the arena for "just the rightshot." and I was left alone to witness the impending carnage. A new comer to the sport (?). I scoped theaudience for clues to the action. In the first couple matches I was able to capture two elements of thecontests. * When a good wrestler (note: good and bad are subjective terms and the labels are applied without clear pattern) seriously hurts,,a bad wrestler, the fans jump and scream like a freshman guy with a"sure thing." * And when a bad wrestler is squeezing the life out the good w restler the fans chant"boooooring." This inspires the good wrestler to wiggle and twitch away from his opponent and thus winthe match. My evesdroppings on the WWK experts sitting around me told me there is no connectionbetween big-time wrestling and real life. I "Oh. look at that. Hacksaw missed him by about a foot," mvadolescent Cosell whined. ._. iwitffiMillfifiti .and 'lie's really smacking him." the guy next to him said.Cod, how thick are these wrestling fans? Have they been staring at late-night TV too long? Don't theyknow those $5 Hacksaw Jim, "hooooooo" foam 2x4s are just adding to the WWK coffers? Ka-ching!(Psuedo-cash register sound.) An 11-year-old buys a shredded "Hulk Rules" T-shirt and the WWK cashregister smiles. Ka-ching! A grandmother buys Bobby a $12 replica WWF title belt. Ka-ching! A pimply-faced, high-school drop-out spends $20 to take his pimply-faced sweetie on a WWK dream date. WWKwrestling. It brings out the dregs of society.

No.Records stores are varied and plentiful here in the City of Eternal Students, and the only thing stopping you from going out and purchasing those little plastic bits of fun is deciding which of many shops tochoose from. So why not start at the new mall? Magellan did and look where he ended up. Disc JockeyRecords and Tapes, our first stop, is located near the space-age (but not really) entrance of the oh-so-pink and purple shopping bonanza. We approached Disc Jockey with some hesitation at first, mainlybecause of the tantalizing George Michael display, complete with almost-life size cardboard flat â€” thatREALLY â€¢ looked REAL. Feel the razor stubble! Smell the cologne! But we were drawn in by thesound of twangy country guitars playing over the sound system. The interior is small and humid, rowupon row of white record bins Musicland's selection of T-shirts is stretch endlessly (or at least to theback wall), filled with compact discs, albums and cassettes firmly encased in those huge plastic anti-theft guards. The Tennessee-based company's collection starts at about $8.99 per item, as well asmusic books, clothing and accessories. The selection at Disc Jockey part of its widespread appeal.seemed suitable to a shopping mall. Lots of country music and show tunes and even a special sectionin the CD area devoted entirely to Canadian brass! We did notice a few displays for contemporarymusic, such as a small, raspberry-colored formica table with a few of the new Aerosmith albums half-heartedly tossed Bill Gregersen-Morash/the Front around. We noticed and approved of similar treatmentfor new releases by Cinderella and Britny Fox as well. The store also featured a number of"cassingles," or hit singles on cassete tape. Disc Jockey showcased a particularly interesting funkselection of these cassingles, including Rick James, Jesse Johnson and a new group with the intriguingname of L'Trimm. But Disc Jockey does not limit its retail space to recorded music only. Ho ho, no.Occupying a corner of the store was a complete selection of T-shirts, sweatshirts and clocksâ€”allbearing the MGM movie logo. For what reason, no one seemed to know. We also noticed a stunningarray of carrying cases for cassette tapes, including, one in an acid-washed denim that made uswish we still had access to the Accent checking account. Another attractive feature of Disc Jockey was the clientele it attracted. Following us around the store was a young man in a cropped black T-shirt wethought we recognized from prison. But no. This guy was dancing quite vigorously to Dwight Yoakam's new album blaring over the store's sound system, and no one in prison dances. At least notintentionally. The only other person in the store (besides the sales women with a southern accent andsuntan hose) was a man caressing a green stuffed animal. This does happen in prison. We didn'trecognize him either, however, and after checking out the display for the soundtrack of the movie'Cocktail'(available on album, cassette OR CD) it seemed like areal good idea to be moving on. We didn't have to go far in the mall to find another record see QUEST, p. 7 The Western Washington Men'sRugby Club would like to invite all students to participate in Rugby. call-671-1352 Join The WinningTradition ATTENTION... r~] Associated Students HUMAN RESOURCE PROGRAMS Students ServingStudents The following centers, located on the second floor of the Viking Union, are here to serve YOU: - â€¢ Drug Information Center â€¢ Legal Information Center â€¢ Men's Resource Center â€¢ SexualAwareness Center â€¢ Sexual Minorities Center â€¢ S.T.R.A.T.A. - â€¢ Veteran's Outreach Center â€¢Women's Center Each center offers a resource library, peer counseling and advising, information andreferal services.

The gala event, which takes place at Allied Arts Theatre: 1313:Gallery, featuresthe works of 12 female textile artists from around the state. Deborah Engelbach, a senior in Western'sdesign program in Seattle, designed two of the garments to be modeled. Engelbach, who has beenworking on the show since May, has also been responsible for inviting the other textile artists, juryingtheir pieces and coordinating them with Marquette's work as well as with the models. "Yoav," a modelwho attended the three-dimensional art event last year said he felt as though he were in an "altered state of consciousness'just being in the gallery. Yoav will model a garment affectionately referred to as the"house coat" by the rest of the cast. Anna Aliotti, a Bellingham-based hairdresser, will "sculpt" Yoav'sshoulder-length brunette hair into Rastafarian dreadlocks. Western senior "Pootie" Powell will beparticipating again this year, modeling a piece by Engelbach entitled "Walk in my Forest."Engelbach's grandiose costume is constructed of a gold rice paper pleated skirt over a gold satinypolyester halter top and slim skirt bottom. A gold sequin-covered turban supporting a bird's nest withprotruding twigs and stuffed Christmas ornament-sized birds comprise the headdress that Powell willwear with her garment. Engelbach refers to this Yoav will model a garment referred to as the "housecoat..." look as the "Trinidad influence." Gwynne Seidell and Dana Mattson, former co-owners of theNatter-danz Gallery, are organizing the show for the second time. Last year they worked with Vancouverartist Loriann Latremouille. "Most of the models wore shades of black and white with a splash of colorhere and there," Mattson said, "to offset Latremouille's use of charcoal and pastel." Marquette'smedium is oil, graphite and pastel on paper. Her works, entitled "Night," consist primarily of black,turquoise, teal, light blue, gray and splashes of white for definition. The pieces depict mostly femalesubjects in silhouette. Marquette frequently used shading to symbolize parts of the body. In onepainting, a woman is lying on her side on the ground next to a rock that resembles a face. Underneath the ground, a box symbolizing a coffin contains a skeleton on its hands and knees. Engelbach hopes to have the handmade garments and the sculpted hair projected so that they respond to Marquette'sworks. Engelbach asked the textile artists to use the theme, "Carnival Celebration" whenconstructing their pieces. Carole Chaplin, a Bellingham hairstylist, will be working with other localhairdressers to obtain the unique sculpted coiffures the models will wear again this year. Last year, eggwhites were used to spike Powell's hair. The ends of it were wrapped in comic strips to obtain a papermache look. Another Western student, Diane McLeod, had her hair permed on popsicle sticks for theevent. "Performance in Art" promises to be a titilating experience for the avid art-goer and the noviceviewer.

By Molly Krogstadt of Accent Magazine What can you buy for $5? A prettygood bottle of wine, a packet of bus tokens, or a plush place to rest your bum for about two hours. If you choose bum-resting, several movie theaters in Bellingham await the warmth of your tush. But whichtheatres are the best ones to go to? Most people choose to go to a certain theater because of the movie being shown. But it's still helpful to know the general atmosphere of the theaters because no matterhow good a movie is, a cold and uncomfortable theater can ruin the experience. Three and a half movietheaters in Bellingham are run by the Cin-eplex Odeon corporation. The Mount Baker Theatre onCommercial Street, the Sehome Cinema 3 on Fielding Street and the Viking Twin on Meridian makeup the three. The half theatre is the Cineplex Odeon Bellis Fair theatre complex, which is only partiallybuilt. The only two independent theaters in town are the Fairhaven Cinema on Harris and the Picture Show Theatre on 11th Street in Fairhaven. The theaters are owned and operated by a local partnershipof Rob Olason and Gordon Kley. The only Sterling Recreation Organization theater in town is theSamish Twin Drive-In, which will be closing soon during the fast-approaching stormy months. EachCineplex Odeon theater charges the same amount for tickets and snack bar items. Cost for adults 16and older is $4.50, juniors 12 to IS, $3.50 and children under 11, $2.75. Relief from high-priced ticketsis available at the first show on weekends (adults â€” $3, everyone else â€” $2.75) and "tightwadTuesdays." Every Tuesday all tickets are only $2.50.

Based on the accomplishments of policeman Eddie Egan, thissuspenseful movie features one of the most breathtaking car chase sequences ever filmed. "TheFrench Connection" will play at 9 p.m. Sunday in the Performing Arts Center. "Manon of the Spring,"the beautiful sequel to "Jean de Florette," continues the emotion-packed story of Jean de Florette'sdaughter, who seeks revenge on the peasants responsible for her father's death/" Good conquers evilin the best sense of the word in this award-winning, powerful epic. "Manon of the Spring" will play at 9p.m. Wednesday in the PAC. Admission for each film is $2. If you feel compelled to spend a bunch tomunch while watching the coming attractions (ever notice that's how long a tub of popcorn usuallylasts?), snack bar prices are geous, considering the average cost of a can of pop is 45 cents, so watermay be your best choice. Candy lovers can pick up their favorite treats at the corner grocer for about half the cost. Theater employees frown on smart shoppers, so be sure to hide your stash well.

The theater contains 1500 seats, including thebalcony, which is only open for block-buster movies. The building was built in 1927 and was first used as a stage for live entertainment.

In 1984 the City of Bellingham bought the theater, but it is managed by Cineplex Odeon. The theater itself has beenwell cared for. The decor is artistic and elegant, giving the room an authentic, warm feel. The seats arevery comfortable. Another old theater in town is the Viking Twin. The front doors are heavy, but once youget them open you enter a nice theater. The decor is plain and simple. The 406 seats in each theater,although not as comfortable as an easy chair, are cushy enough to sit in for two hours. The Sehome 3 theaters are slightly smaller than those at the Viking Twin: the middle one has 350 seats, and the twooutside rooms have 398 seats. The seats are comfortable and the rooms are kept clean and pleasant. You do, of course, have to put up with the usual sticky floor, but hey, it's everywhere! As for the newtheater opening soon at the Bellis Fair Mall, it is supposed to be gorgeous and modern. It will have six small theaters, the largest room having 200 seats. The theater is scheduled to open December 16. Formore obscure films that may not be played at the other theaters in town the Fairhaven Cinema and thePicture Show Theatre are the places to go. These theaters also charge $4.50 per person, but a mediumCoke will only cost $1, and a medium popcorn sells for $2. Candy is only available at the Picture Show. These theaters are small. The Fairhaven Cinema has 99 seats, and the Picture Show has 159 seats, but each has an intimate, hometown feel that the more commercial theaters lack. They host two to threeforeign film festivals a year. Although the seats are slightly smaller and seem more cramped than atother theaters, they enable you to sit closer to your date. These theaters show quality films and shouldnot be overlooked when making a movie viewing choice. Now it may seem as if I have left out a theater,but to be honest I just did not have time to check out the Green Apple Cinema. But if you want XXXentertainment, you can explore this place for yourself.

Desire. Bob Dylan dedicated a whole album to it,and while 7-eleven or Yorky 's may give you what you want â€” it takes a real video store to give youwhat you need. What you need is "Gello-ramma," or perhaps PBS' production of "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall." Maybe it's a little-known Russian film called "Repentance," or maybe even "DesireWithin Young School Girls." You won't find these films in most convenience stores, but you will findthem in some of the big video emporiums in Bellingham. The following list of major video-rental outlets inthe campus vicinity is a partial one. It should in no way be substituted for your trusty copy of the YellowPages. For the true video connoisseur, there is no other store than the Video Depot at 1435 RailroadAve. This store should not be confused with the other Video Depots stationed around town. The VideoDepot is now a (choo-choo) chain, but the Railroad Depot is by far the best. The Video Depot onRailroad is one of the largest video rental centers in the Northwest. They carry almost 7,000 titlesincluding the contemporary hits, the classics, foreign titles and most anything in between. The onlything the Depot doesn't have is an X-rated section, although they do carry some "hard R" titles. Beforeyou rush downtown to rent "Curse of the Cat People," you better juice up your checking account. TheDepot on Railroad is not for the casual renter. Non-members are raked for a whopping $5 a tape, and the $9.95 VCR rental fee (same as for members) should discourage. the riff-raff who don' t own their ownmachines. Membership at the main VD is costly. An annual membership costs $25. Subsequent taperentals cost $2.50 under this plan. The lifetime membership costs $50, and the concurrent price oftape rental is then two dollars. The super lifetime fee (for afterlife renters) is $125. Tapes rent for only abuck under this plan.

The Depot 2 carries 60 porno videos and offers the luxury of a semi-private room to make your steamy selection. Keep in mind that you can't rent tapes or machinesanywhere without a checking account (local helps) and a valid picture I.D.

Day in the life of a teacher shown in play By Michael J. Lehnert of Accent MagazineThe death of one of his students prompted playwright David Marshall Marquis to pen his one-man playentitled "I am a Teacher," which plays tonight in the Performing Arts Center's Main Auditorium. Theperformance is being sponsored by the School of Education. The play is based on Marquis'experiences as a teacher in inner-city and urban junior high schools. Dealing with such subjects as teen pregnancy, illiteracy and drug abuse, it attempts to show how educational systems deal with theseproblems. R. Bruce Elliott portrays Ben James, as the play shows us a day in the life of a teacher.James is happy with his work, yet he keeps a letter of resignation in his desk drawer in anticipation of the day he is no longer able to deal with the problems inherent in his job. Touring has brought the show toan audience of students, parents, educators and the general public in over twenty states. Tickets for the8 p.m. performance are available for $2 at the Viking Union Information Desk or at the door. ---------- Western Front - 1988 September 30 - ACCENT, page 6 ---------- i 6 ACCENT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1988 DATELINE FRIDAY: BUCKS: The All Mighty Dreadperforms at 9:30 p.m. $4 cover charge.

TERIYAKI B-BQ "WE SERVE ONLY THE FRESHEST VEGETABLES IN OUR DELICIOUSLY TRADITIONAL JAPANESE, KOREAN AND CHINESE DISHES!" 1222 N.GARDEN 733-6784 EXPIRES10/30 continued from p. 6 outlet. In fact, Musicland so resembled Disc Jockey we thought we hadbeen walking in circles. Yet at Musicland the atmosphere was a little different. Just a teeny bit of angstwas mixed into the pink neon atmosphere, probably from the Sisters of Mercy emitting from the soundsystem. We were immediately attracted to the musical instrument section, complete with lots ofkeyboards and a swell electronic drum set. And boy â€” it sure does play a mean samba. After beingpierced with the stares of sales people, we gave up our musical practice and turned around to view agreat big neon sign that read "We Got What's Hot." We then knew we were in the right place. It wasvideo workout tapes a'plenty in Musicland. Everyone from Cosmopolitan magazine to Playboy to...well,everybody had a workout tape on their wall. Sunglasses, posters, T-shirts and just about almosteverything with some type of music logo was crammed into the narrow crevice called Musicland. Pricesstarted at $8.99, but some special purchases started at $3.99. All categories were included in theselection of albums, cassettes and CDs. Musicland seemed to have everything, but...where werethey? Where were the 8-track tapes? We didn't know. And so embarked on another musicaladventure that led us to Cellophane Square. Cellophane Square, "the record store that takes along, mournful look at a bleak reality lurking just under the American Dreamâ€” a place where laid-offworkers commit crimes of desperation; brothers and roommates go bad, and childhood dreams witherand die as innocence is replaced by fatigue." No, just kidding. Cellophane Square is a record, tape andCD store that stocks a variety of new and used music in every conceivable category and price range.The store is located away from the mall downtown on Cornwall street. By writing reviews about new andused albums whether you want to read them or not (like the above paragraph written for a BruceSpringsteen album), the store tries to be more than a retail outlet. Entering the store after all those mallrecord shops was truly a change of scenery. For one thing, Cellophane Square's record bins arewooden. And they have a lot of dead plants hanging from the ceiling, too, that seemed to go well withall the posters of dead rock stars hanging on the walls. Dead rock stars have an eternal home in thisshop, as evidenced by the Elvis cards and the Hendrix posters. Even the late Ian, dead lead singer ofJoy Division, hangs in his own window display. Butyou don't have to be physically dead to gain spacein this shop. Where else in Bellingham could you find a complete Genesis album library or Billy Joel orChet Atkins' long-lost "Teensville" recording? They even featured the biggest (presumably) Jesus andMary Chain poster in the world. We were losing faith in all three record stores we had visited. They allhad different number one hits on the featured top 10 charts. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin was number one at. Disc Jockey. Musicland didn't have a number one hit that we noticed. CellophaneSquare had three different charts to chose from: Billboard, College, and Cellophane's Own, consecutively Guns n' Roses, Sugar Cubes and Tracy Chapman. We were steamin' mad 'cause we didn't know thetruth. So we left. Tired, crabby and close to the edge, ready to scream "press eject and give us thetape" on our outing, we hit one final record store, The Landing records and tapes in Fairhaven. My, talkabout pleasant. As soon as we opened the heavy wood and glass door and stepped into the calm,carpeted atmosphere, we felt at home. Or AT someone's home. The Landing had that living room feel,and we almost expected a hostess to offer to take our coats and bring us a martini. The Landingfeatures some albums but mostly tapes and CDs, new and used, of folk, classical, popular and new agemusic. However, it was also the only record store we saw that carried the new L.L. Cool J. on CD aswell as an album of "Television's Greatest Hits." Those pesky and ever-popular "self-motivation" tapeswere well represented. Some titles included were "STOP SUGAR ADDICTION" and "Positive Thoughts For Children," which really come in handy for listening to on your car stereo. The Landing had aninteresting selection of magazines as well, from an incredibly slick and stylized "Country MusicJournal" to a favorite of ours called "The Rattler," which featured neat drawings of lizards sayingeverything is stupid and some really poignant poetry by Lydia Lunch. So as can be deduced, there are a few differing places to purchase recorded music in this town. Plus you can even get other thingsthrown in for free, like attitude and neat people-watching and trying to figure out what kind of incense isbeing burned at any given shop. But just try to find those 8-track tapes. It seems there were someadvantages to the record library in prison after all. KINKCS HOURS COPY AROUND THE CLOCKkinko's open 24 hours 647-1114 .. 501 E.

Lehnert ofAccent Magazine . The Flying Karamozov Brothers will ka-boing into town October 4 to get The MountBaker Theatre Center's 1988-89 Centennial Performing Arts Series off to a ball-grabbin' start. Thegroup is neither Russian (they named themselves after Dos-toyevsky's novel "The Brothers Karamazov")nor composed of aviators. They are a group of wild and witty performers perhaps best known for theirjuggling skills (as showcased in the movie "Jewel of The Nile"). As the Brothers say, "Juggling is onlythe hook to get the audience to the show. The magic of live theater keeps them glued to their seats."The Brothers are Timothy Daniel Furst (Fyodor), Paul David Magid (Dimitri), Howard Jay Patterson(Ivan) and Sam Williams (Smerdyakov). Along with the Pickle Family Circus, the Flying KaramazovBrothers are leading proponents of what has been called "new vaudeville". The main difference between old and new vaudeville is audience participation, as shown by their signature piece "The Gamble."In "The Gamble," "The Champ" (Ivan) challenges the audience by saying he can juggle any threeobjects (weighing between an ounce and a pound and no bigger than a breadbox) for a count of ten.Objects submitted at past shows have included dirty diapers, a bag of dead frogs and even an Argentinebolo. Out of the objects submitted, the audience chooses three. Success will usually result in astanding ovation, while failure brings a vaudevillian style pie in the face. While encouraging audiences to bring unusual objects, the program contains the warning: "The Champ will not juggle live animals oranything that would prevent the Champ himself from continuing to be a live animal." Advance ticketsfor the 8 p.m. show are available at the Mount Baker Theatre Center office, Box Office Northwest and atthe door. Ticket prices range from $8 to $15 with a $1 discount for students, seniors and children. Andas always, free, secured parking (since Bellingham is such a crime area) will be available in theParkade.

The game is the first part of the athletic rivalry between Central and Western. The second part is the basketball games. The Vikings are still looking for their first win of the season.Central, which reached the NAIA Division 1 playoffs with a 7-3 record last season, is off to a 2-0 startthat includes last week's 52-20 romp over Whit-worth. Last year, in front of the largest Viking footballcrowd in 15 years, Western came close to defeating Central for the first time since 1978. Western tooka 14-13 lead into halftime. A stingy ground defense limited Central to only 58 yards rushing in the half,but two second quarter injuries decimated the Viking's defense. Central waltzed through the secondhalf, winning the game 34-14. Western seniors Dan Lawson and Rick Rudd are five year veterans of theWildcat-Viking rivalry. They don't mince words when referring to Central. "They're a bunch of arrogantballplayers," Lawson said. "They look for cheap shots and run up the score. We've had too many closegames with those guys ... have no mercy is our motto." Weak safety Rick Rudd points to last year'sWestern-Central basketball conflict as another thorn in the sporting rivalry between the two ** A win for us will turn our season-around and a win for Central will keep them rolling." Coach Paul HansenMmmmf^LJMfflmKmim schools. "Bragging rights arc at need to match their enthusiasm with stake in this game," Rudd said. "With a victory we can help carry the spirit for our school." To beat Central theVikings will disciplined play. Last week's 13 ' penalties for 125 yards knocked the . offense out of scoring range after every penetration. Volleyball team wins district opener Erik K. Johnston of The WesternFront The Viks won their NAIA District 1 west division opener and upped their overall season record to 11-10 by winning three of four matches against Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., Tuesday.The team was to play at Pacific Lutheran University Thursday night and will close out their tournamentseason today and Saturday at the University of Puget Sound Invitational tournament in Tacoma.Outside hitter Christie Erskine's 10 kills against. Simon Fraser boosted the Vikings to their 15-13, 15-6,6-15, 15-4 win. Western middle blockers Kim Wells and Laura Lindsay combined for 13 blocks. Lastweekend the team finished fifth in the Simon Fraser Invitational. In a three-way tie for third place in theround robin portion of the tournament, the Vikings drew fifth place for the final round of games. Only thetop four teams moved on. In the opening rounds of the Simon Fraser Invitational, Western went 2-2beating its NAIA District 1 foes Lewis Clark State 15-8, 7-15, 15-11 and Central Washington University in two straight sets 15-5,15- 6. They lost to the University of Victoria 15-2,15-7 and the University ofBritish Columbia 15-12, 15- 11. The Vikings won three of four matches Saturday beating VancouverCommunity College 15-7,13-15, 15-9, squeaking by St. Martin's College 15-4, 5-15, 15-11 andupending Central for a second time 15- 7, 12-15, 15-1. The Viking's only loss was at the hands of thetournament's host Simon Fraser University. After their performance, Viking coach Chris Hartmannpraised the play of outside hitters Erskine, senior Lori Hahn and sophomore middle blocker KimWells. Hartmann said the team could finish third or fourth. Carver ?s great-grandson living own traditionsBy Erik K. Johnston of The Western Front Junior Todd Bernave holds his head high when he passes theportrait of the man whom Carver Gym is named for. It's his great-grandfather. "It makes me feel goodwhenever I see his picture in the gym, " Bemave said. "When I was younger, my mom Don't MissALMIGHTY DREAD Friday Sept 30 Saturday Oct 1 at Bucks Tavern Now Available on Tape "OneLook at You" 8 original songs by Almighty Dread On Sale at CeOophane, Budget, Zephyr and theLanding went here and she showed me the picture of Sam in the gym and told me that he was hergrandfather, and of all the things he did," Bemave said. On March 30, 1962, Western's gymnasium wasdedicated to the "Father of Western Athletics" San-ford "Sam" E. Carver. Carver retired in 1955. Asuperb athlete, Sanford Carver enrolled at Bellingham Normal School (Western's original title) in 1910.He was the basketball team captain in 1911, played football in 1912 and was immediately hired as acoach and teacher after graduating in 1913. He was the school's first coach. During a 10-year period,Carver coached the football, baseball, basketball, tennis, track and field and golf teams. His golfteams won 11 consecutive conference titles and he was inducted into the NAIA Coaches r â€” â€” - . â€” â€¢ - â€” â€” â€” â€” - I I I I I I I I I I , Hall of Fame in 1957. For Carver's great-grandson, Westernwas a temporary stop to spend a few quarters preparing himself for the University of Washington.Two years have passed and Bernave has no intentions of going to another school. Sports was a hugepart of Carver's life, but they 're just another form of entertainment to Bernave. "I like to play ultimateFrisbee with my friends on Friday afternoons, but I really like to hunt ducks and pheasant or go fishing for trout and bass," he said. Bernave's main interest is art. He is majoring in graphic illustration andminoring in marketing and advertising. After graduation, Bemave plans to attend graduate school at theArt Center of Design in Los Angeles.

Intensity kicks in win for women By Tim Cappoen of The Western Front Intensity in the home trenches helped Western's Women's Soccer beat the University of British Columbia and settle for atie with Seattle. "Intensity was the name of the game," said Dominic Garguile, coach. Last Saturday's1-0, non-league win over UBC was their first home victory. Each team member played with pureintensity, Garguile said. Western's lone goal occurred 10 minutes into the first half when freshmanforward Diane Dobler scored on an assist from senior Jenny Schurman. The Thunderbirds maintained aslight advantage in number of goals shot in the first half but the Vikings poured on the pressure late in the second half including a 25-yard shot by junior co-captain Brenda Bock which rocketed off the goal post. Western's winning point came late in the second half from a goal by Jenny Schurman, assisted by junior Staci McAfee. Little rest awaited the Vikings as they played Seattle University the preceding Sundayand disappointment may have entered the minds of many including coach Garguile after the game's 1-1 tie ending. "The game was uneventful," she said. "We just weren't being aggressive and couldn't getin line to take ' advantage of scoring situations." The confrontation with Seattle University leaves theVikings with a 2-6-1 overall record. "We're definitely not out of the race," Garguile said. The Vikingwomen play at Pacific Lutheran University on Saturday. ---------- Western Front - 1988 September 30 - Page 14 ---------- 14 THE WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1988 OPINION No goats, no life down on thefarm Critters are disappearing at the Outback Farm. Vandals got the pigs. Dogs got the goats. Andadministrators got the students. Because of building codes imposed when the university became self-insured, nobody can live in the Outback cabins that once served as homes to industrious students. DanLarner, Fairhaven dean, said he tried to convince university attorneys to let renters sign a waiver. But nogo. The nature haven is dying. A few corn stalks overlook a weed-infested field once inhabited by goats,geese and other creatures great and small. The farm, provided with a whopping $350 a year by theuniversity, has been run sporadically and without direction for the pleasure of a few students. SomeFairhaven residence hall boarders chuckle at the bramble patch. Transportation officials eye theneglected grange as prime parking space. But the cavalry is on its way. A committee appointed by Lamer will begin seeking ways to develop the Outback into an educational outdoor classroom. CommitteeChairman Ernst Gayden said he wants to see the university take the Outback seriously. His ideas areworthy of mention: * Hire a part-time or full-time caretaker to manage the farm and provide consistentmanagement. * Remodel one of the cabins as a caretaker's residence. The other building could be usedas a student's study or work room. * Develop practical uses for the farm to be used in environmentalcourses through Huxley and Fairhaven colleges. Use innovative experimental gardens as an attraction forlocal grade school and high school field trips. The committee may present these or similar suggestionsto the university. Unless the Outback is developed, it doesn't seem very sensible to let it wither intobrown ragweed. Oops! He's alive The American media may catch heck for occasional sensationalslop, but even those limp-wristed, commie-loving newspaper types in Japan take flak. The third largestnewspaper in Japan, with a circulation of 4.5 million, made a slight typo Monday according to aWednesday New York Times article. The Mainichi Daily News, in an English-language edition,lamented the death of Emperor Hirohito. It was a sensitive, heartwarming account, but the seriously ill 87-year-old had not died. The editor in chief arid a senior editor were fired. B ut it could have been worse. "In a previous era, just the suggestion that the Emperor might die could get you beheaded," a seniorjournalist for another of Japan's newspaper said. "Now, it can only make you wish you had been."

Bush begetsviolent seisms Iwas watching vids after the presidential debate Sunday, feeling just a tad queasy about the whole spectacle, when suddenly Bobby McFerrin and Robin Williams were telling ine, "Don'tworry, be happy." I thought, "Sure, why didn't I think of that before?" Then I realized how horribly worried I am about George Bush. Be happy? How? It would be much easier if Bobby and Robin said, "Don'tworry, take lots of drugs" or, "Don't worry, stick your head in the sand" or even, "Don't worry, beaconservative."Be happy about the possibility of George Bush as president of the United States? It's notpossible. If an American military leader (covert and overt) cannot remember the date of the bombing ofPearl Harbor (after all, he served in the ensuing war), I start to jitter. When an American CIA director and vice president has a lapse of consciousness spanning an eight-year period and is only nowrecollecting some of his activities (See Iran-Contra Affair), I begin to visibly twitch. When I receive arequest, via the U.S. mail, for campaign funds for Americans for Bush (i.e. National Security PoliticalAction Committee) stating: "As director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), George Bushfought to insure your freedom from secret forces who wish to destroy America from within. And today, as your vice president, he carries on that grand tradition anu stands tough for America." I shudder. Whatreally gets me sweating and causes me to break out in nervous convulsive laughter (in order to avoidnausea), is the level of tolerance the American public has for sleaze. All this guy has to do is promisetax cuts and rant about the communist threat (See McCarthy-ism), and the poll figures jump. Nevermindthat he makes cheap geographic slurs at his opponent Those comments will cost Bush Massachusetts. I guess if Dukakis used the same tactic he would lose three states! Never mind that he lied to Congress and to the American people about illegal activities within the administration. Never mind that he chumsaround with drug kingpins (See Gen. Manuel Noriega and Felix Rodriguez). "Don't worry. Be happy."(See Frontal Lobotomy). Bob's College O' Knowledge! Livestock' learning fruitless Welcome to Bob'sCollege O' Knowledge in Acme, Western's own branch campus, closely located for yourconvenience. Are fictional bastions such as Bob's the new stepping stone to greener pastures inhigher education for qualified students in Washington, or are these multi-million dollar underlingcolleges a thicket of economic overgrowth? Apparently the state's two research campuses, Universityof Washington and Washington State University, believe in chain campuses. Officials say these wouldease student demand that administrators predict will boom in the mid-'90s. Their proposal is a"livestock" approach to meeting higher education needs. Their plan calls for more than $568 million inoperating and construction costs to build five branch campuses by the year 2000. The UW and WSUsubmitted their ambitious plans Sept. 28 to the Higher Education Coordinating Board, which then,will approve a budget to send to Gov. Booth Gardner and the legislature. How does one convince tax-Douglas Buell copy chief payers to spend millions of dollars for the benefit of only a few thousandstudents? It's fair to say the legislature will be using its meal ticket before the main course arrives.Building only two independent regional universities, one west of the Cascades in Tacoma and theother east in the Tri-Cities, would perhaps be a more reasonable answer than five satellite colleges.Tacoma has largely been ignored in the past as a public university site. The Tri-Cities, meanwhile, hasan uncertain future because of closedowns at Hanford Nuclear Plant. Other suggested cities, such asVancouver, Bothell, Woodin-ville and Spokane could get along without these campuses for now. Othercost-effective ap-" proaches could include giving more money to the existing universities for expansionand capital improvements, and making available subsidies and tuition waivers to those studentswanting to attend a private college. The HEC Board is addressing these budget items, which privatecolleges generally favor. Few will argue that lowered enrollment lids and lack of space have forced many of the state's major institutions to turn away many qualified students. What the satellite universities will do is water down the quality of education. They will remain subservient to the main campuses, wherebusinessmen will continue to look first for graduates. They will operate with lower admissionsstandards. They will lack autonomy. Educators have noted that higher education must be offered tothe under-served, and place-bound students; in other words, those full-time working and commutingstudents. It's difficult to explain that to Western students, though, who already commute from as faraway as Everett and Vancouver, B.C. ---------- Western Front - 1988 September 30 - Page 15 ---------- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1988 THE WESTERN FRONT 15 NEWS Committee to review campussecurity policy By Molly Krogstadt of The Western Front A committee spearheaded by AssociatedStudents officers has been formed to examine the Board of Trustees' decision to decommission thecampus police force. The Campus Security Research Committee is now in the process of beingorganized and should be ready to be put into action next week, according to Tammy Fleming,president of the Associated Students Board of Directors. Fleming said the AS board felt there was aneed on campus for more students to be aware of the issue and the effects of the decision. A proposalto create a committee was drawn up by the board to present to the Board of Trustees. Before theproposal was given to the Trustees, Fleming had talked to President Mortimer about it. "Dr. Mortimersupported the idea whole-heartedly," Fleming said. Under Mortimer's advisement, the board begancreating the committee right away.

There will be three students, Fleming,Mike Petrie, the vice president for residence life and a third person to be chosen by the Inter-HallCouncil. There will also be a representative from the Office of Student Life, a faculty member, a staffmember and one other person, along with Froderberg. Strictly designed as a research and advisorycommittee and not a policy committee, members will be responsible forgathering input from other people as well as researching the effects of the change to a security force. The board is not taking a stand onthis issue, but Fleming said she wants students to feel they have some control over the matter. She also said the diversity of the committee members will enable them to be in contact with many people, sincethey each represent a different group. Facts and statistics need to be recorded, Fleming said, in orderfor any presentation to the trustees to be effective. The facts may show the change to be for the better or for the worse, but either way, Fleming said they need to be known. There is an open house of the ASoffices from 3-5 p.m. today. It is open to all students, faculty and staff to meet with the officers andbecome acquainted with the resources of the AS. Cookies and coffee will be served. AS meetings areheld at 4 p.m. every Tuesday in VU 408. All students are welcome to come to the meetings.

It seems that after .exchanging greetings and the traditional handshake, they began to talk of the "good old days at the College on the hill,' and the lieutenant myited the Captain to have a look at his Klipsun.'" \-':': While thumbing through, the pages and recalling pleasant memories, Don Bell happened upon a picture of a be-oo-tiful coned.

The formal dedication program will be held in the college auditorium' with Governor Arthur B. Langlie as the main speaker. Mr. Boson stated at a recent AWS assembly that as there were no men in the choir now and since the program would really not be complete without singing, the women students seemed to be the most satisfactory solution. Following the program, open house will be held in the new building. Visitors will be permitted to inspect all rooms and facilities. A breakfast discussion meeting will be held May 8.

"For more thaii thirty'-"years, much of my time and most of'-'my -work-has. been devoted .to'; the problem of improving instruction, in arithmetic," stated Dr. Bond in explaining His extreme interest in the latter article. He feels that although the so-called progressive •education has done something for ns, we shouldn't be wholly reliant upon it. • "Arithmetic," he commented, "is a unified subject; therefore, learning must be sequential." He added that there is more than one available sequence. "Social arithmetic, which is what progressive education is standng for, should be properly balanced with the science of arithmetic," he concluded.

However, when the sun does shine the gals will really be in shape. Next Tuesday night will be the big tennis turnout.

Evidently there are a few too many of the boys departing for the service as it doesn't seem like the same old school Uncle Sam is going to get a high class group of athletes In his training camp as most of the other colleges hi the United States are undoubtedly losing men as rapidly at the Vikings are. Just think what the Viks could do with some of the athletes in the service who still have a year or two of eligibility left at our dear old alma mater. What a football team Lappenbusch could have with soldiers and sailors such as Bob Thomas, Ralph Burgess, Les Smith, Don Glazer, Dick Goodman, Pete Gudyke, Chuck Keown, "Red" McMillan, Don Packard, John Lund, Bruce Johnson, George Forsen, and many others now in the service, and all of them eligible to complete a few more seasons for the Blue and White. At least it is nice to be able to dream. ODDS AND ENDS . Nick Richardson is doing all right by himself at his Air Corps Cadet school in Nebraska...

VIKS LEAD WINCO SCORING The Vikings were the only team to have four men in the. select group of players scoring over 100 points in the 1943 season. Eastern had three, while Central and St Martins had two and PLC had but one. Of those four men, Wittren was third with 168 points. Ludwick was tied for fifth with 149, Lowery was ted for seventh with. 140 points, and Fred Strankman was eleventh with 114 markers. All in all, that is not a bad representation from a third place ball club. A TRACK RETRACTION "Because of some misunderstanding in the interpretation of the statement in last week's column it is necessary to reword and explain the mean-ing of "track didn't have much to lose in the first place." jTo Messrs Lowery and Munizza and for others who might have misinterpreted the statement, the meaning is as follows: practically all of the track men of last year's squad have already been called into the service and this year's squad will be almost totally dependent on freshmen talent.

"Barney" Goltz, college planning director, explained Western's budgetproposals for next year to the city council on Nov. 15 in Arntzen Hall 100. The representatives met in aneffort to create good city/college relations. The meeting was to demonstrate the direct and indirectbenefits the city would receive if Western's budget proposals are accepted by the state. - Goltz stoodbefore a _sparce audience citing a "surprising number" of examples joining the city to Western for mutual benefit. One budget proposal, "77-2, Â§outh Campus Fields and Grounds Improvement," insures thesafety of student and city transients along the approximate three block area encompassing the southcampus fields. Holding a map of the campus, Goltz also pointed out streets would receive lights and bus stop shelters under this proposal. They are East College Way to South College Drive, West CollegeWay to the water tower and College Parkway. Bus shelters would be placed along these streets in frontof Birnam Wood, Buchanon Towers and Fairhaven College. Included is $200,000 worth of landscaping, an aesthetic benefit to both city and campus. Other proposals include purchasing receiving shops in thePhysical Plant by the college and the city and renaming it the Warehousing Archival Repository.Bellingham city records will be kept there. Another proposal dictates the construction of an athleticbuilding with a pool. Landscaping of the area around Western's Arboretum costing $50,000 was alsooutlined. College President Paul Olscamp said there was a complicated set of issues behind eachfunding project. " "One of the selling points in the eyes of the student body is absence of largeness," hesaid. Michael. Mischaikow, economics instructor, discussed the economic impact Western has in thecity. Mischaikow said an estimate â€” only a guess â€” of Western's purchasing power is between $3 to$5 million. Mischaikow can estimate the loss of that money flow "only is Western was not heretomorrow." Questions concerning the arming of campus police were asked at the meeting. The citymaintained that arming campus police would perhaps serve to decrease the burden on city police.Olscamp said the subject had been raised at an All-College Senate meeting and stated, "CampusSecurity is not going to be armed â€” period." The council expressed collective hope these meetingswould continue to draw Western and the city together. MONEY â€” Barney Goltz [foreground] discussedWestern's budget and its effects on the community in a city mouncil meeting Monday in Arntzen Hall,While President Paul Olscamp looks on. Early death for Innis Creek salmon by KEVIN CHARLES Onelection day, as Washington voters attempted to decide, among other things, who would have the rightsto the state's diminishing supply of salmon, the Whatcom County Engineering Department wasthreatening a local part of the salmon run. Steve Kaplan and Dan Gantham are friends and neighborsliving along Innis Creek Road, near Wickersham. On Nov. 2 they were driving along a section of the roadthat runs parallel to Innis Creek. The pair noted the obvious presence of a back-hoe, three dump trucksand crew of men who were dredging the creek bed. Knowing that salmon had been spawning up thecreek for several days, Kaplan and Gantham stopped to question the dredging crew. They were assuredthe fish were not being trapped with the gravel and that salmon were able to jump or fall out of the back-hoe shovel. Still concerned with the threat to the salmon, Kaplan and Gantham learned the EngineeringBoldt decision reviewed LUMMI INDIANS â€” Ralph Bob and Randy salmon catch. See their story andothers on two and three. Kinley lay nets for morning the Boldt decision on pages Department had beengranted a permit from the Washington Department of Fisheries for the dredging on Oct. 27. Innis Creekwas rechanneled to run parallel with Innis Creek road two years ago. The culvert that runs under the roadjams, causing the creek to wash out the road. It must be dredged several times a year. The salmon thatspawn annually in Innis Creek have a tough trip, even without dredging operations. Four-wheel drivevehicles run across the creek frequently, according to Gantham. And frustrated hunters sometimes findthe salmon . their only prey. Several possibilities bothered both Kaplan and Gantham. They believeseggs spawned in the gravel of the dredged areas had been destroyed. The silt raised by the dredgingwould hinder the salmon trying to swim upstream, they thought. A "terrific erosion problem" in the hillsupsteram made the dredging necessary, said Roy Grunhard, assistant county engineer. "We werecleaning it up with a back-hoe," he said. "We didn't bother many salmon, I would rather worry abouthuman life than that of a salmon." The washouts in Innis Creek Road are dangerous, he said, and thedepartment usually seeks the "best time of the year" for dredging. They hope to do future dredgingsduring July. According to Dan Stuckey, an investigator at â€¢Â» the fisheries department, salmon weren't supposed to be in the creek at the time of the dredging. They were not supposed to be released â€¢Continued on page 3 AS vice president quits, withdraws from school Ricki Bussanich, AssociatedStudent vice president for internal affairs, resigned her post this week because she is withdrawing from Western. Bussanich, a sophomore VI-COED major, said financial troubles have caused herwithdrawal. Her future plans include getting a job in the Seattle area and later returning to Western.According to Bussanich, the vacated position on the AS Board can be temporarily appointed by A.S..President Bruce Ayers, with ratification from board members. But, a student election will have to beheld later in the year to permanently fill the post. ---------- Western Front - 1976 November 19 - Page 2 ---------- Much concern over Indian fishing rights Lummi's tribal income rests on salmon, herring industries byCHARLES NACKE The Lummi Indians, native to the Bellingham area, have fishied the upper PugetSound and local rivers for more than 200 years. Eighty per cent of the tribal income depends on thesalmon and herring industries. "All the Lummi have ever done is fish," said Ralph Bob, a Lummifisherman. "None of the other tribes want us around." Local Lummi fishermen were responsible for morethan 75 per cent of the, 100,000 salmon caught by the northern Sound tribes, April to December in 1974. Unlike the situation in lower Puget Sound with the Puyallup Indians, there is little or no hostility betweenthe non-Indian and Indian fishermen in Bellingham Bay. There were two incidents in September, 1973.Lummi fishermen were shot at while gillnetting in the Bay, from the Cherry Point and the Chuckanut area. Both times no one was hit and an investigation failed to turn up a suspect. The Indian and non-Indianfishermen joke, exchange information or just pass the time of day over their citizens' band radios. Off thewater, they often compete in team sports such as basketball, baseball and boxing. "We grew uptogether," said Forrest Kinley, fisheries director for the Lummi tribe and a former gillnetter. Ralph Bobhas spent the last 15 years fishing. Now 32, lives on the Lummi reservation 8 miles north of Bellingham.He attended the Indian day school, then transferred to Ferndale: Bob spoke highly of his Ferndaleeducation, but remembered with anger discrimination toward the Indians transferring in from thereservation. Discrimination still exists, he said, citing an incident in which a Ferndale school teacherkicked an Indian girl. , He lived in Alaska for a short time after schdol, then returned to the reservation. "Ilike it on the reservation. We're buying a house. I plan to live there indefinitely," Bob said. "Most of theother Indians share my feelings." In 1974 Bob purchased a 27-foot bow picker, the "Lummi Raider." Abow picker is a type of gillnet fishing boat in which the net is laid and retrieved over the bow by a largemotor-driven drum, making it easier for one man to operate the boat and lay the net at the same time.PARTNERS â€” Randy Kinley [left] and Ralph Bob [above] differ on philosophy of Boldt decision butremain fishing partners. Bob said if the salmon catch doesn't drop, he hopes to complete payment onthe $40,000 rig within four years. According to state fisheries department statistics he has little tofear. There has been no significant drop in the salmon catch, and even a increase in the chum inBellingham bay. Chum salmon almost disappeared 10 years ago. As a result of the Boldt decision,Indians's share of catch have increased. Main problems confronting gillnetters now are a growing number of former non-Indian fishermen claiming to be one-fourth or one-eight Indian, and the hiring of tokenIndians on non-Indian fishing boats trying to gain fishing rights granted to the Indians of Puget Sound bytreaties of 1854 and 1855, which were upheld by Judge Boldt in 1974. Background given on fishing rightscontroversy byJANABURK The fishing controversy is almost taking on the aspects of an old-time rangewar. There has been a shooting of a fisherman overstepping his allotted days on the range. There arehired guns in the sense that Indians are hired to work on non-Indian boats, so the Indians' benefits can be reaped by the non- Indians. There have been the incidents involving school children, just like in the days when sheep herders and cattlemen fought it out. Finally, there has been an interpretation of a federalruling as the focal point, much like the government's regulation of open range. Judge George Boldt andhis decision are the barbed wire, a sign of change for the range wars. Boldt was trying to justify asituation long overdue for reform. The way he did it turned out to be the problem, or should it be said if we are to carrv on the analogy, the war. Unlike the range war gun fights, the voters fired their shots atCongressman Lloyd Meeds. If votes were buckshot, Meeds wouldn't be sitting down for a long while.Meeds has indicated since the election that he will not sit on this issue any longer; he is going to seek asolution in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, the other legislators of Washington State will join to give all,Indian and non-Indian, their due reward for hard work and the desire to make their own way. As afootnote, it would be sad to see the individual fishermen go the way of the small farmer', who now hascorporations for neighbors.

The controversial decision made by U.S. District Court JudgeGeorge H. Boldt in Tacoma, February 12,1974 has been called a landmark in the fight. Boldt's 209-pagedecision states Indians may fish 50 per cent of all harvestable steelhead, trout and salmon not needed for conservation. The decision is based on treaties made by the U.S. government with Indians more than100 years ago. The Point Elliot Mulkilteo Treaty, which is the treaty pertaining to this area, states: "Theright of taking fish at usual and accustomed places grounds and stations is further secured to. saidindians in common with all citizens of the territory . . ." The treaties are not considered a grant of rightsto the Indians, but a grant of rights from them. The Indians deeded land to the United States in exchangefor maintaining fishing customs they had always practiced, said Allen Richardson, Whatcom CommunityCollege anthropology professor, who at one time was a historical consultant for the Nooksack Indiansresearching locations of traditional tribal fishing grounds. Article six of the U.S. Constitution maintainstreaties are "supreme law of the land; and the judges of every state will be bound therebv. anything in theconstitution or laws of any state HtÂ»|t$ithstanding . . . For Congress to change the treaty, it must bere-opened and negotiated by both parties, he said. "I doubt the Indians would be interested in re-openingthe treaty," Richardson added. The basic issue is the degree the state can regulate treaty fishermen andfishing practices. The Supreme Court established the state has limited power to regulate off-reservationfishing "to the extent reasonable and necessary for conservation of the resource," a U.S. Departmentof Interior publication said. According to the publication, Boldt rejected Indians's claims to total immunityfrom state control and the state's claim to sole determination of how fishery resources are utilized. Animportant element of the Boldt decision deals with tribal self-regulation. The publication said although thestate has power to regulate off-reservation fishing for conservation reasons, Boldt ruled when a tribedemonstrates ability to self-regulate in a conservation-minded manner, further state regulation will besuspended. The confusion and complications of the treaty fishing rights controversy indicates theenormous difficulty of achieving social justice, especially legally, said Robert Keller, Fairhaven Collegeprofessor. To rectify on paper the injustice of so many years is bound to create tremendous problems, he said. Fishing issue raises race problems among kids by MARLA McCALLISTER One of the moreoverlooked aspects of the fishing rights' controversy is its effect on Indian and white children. Theattitudes of parents and older family members filter down to the younger children, and in some casesthis leads to problems. An example of such a case is Vista Middle School in Fern-dale, where,according to counselor Paul Kidwell, there have been incidents of name-calling and minorconfrontations. Kidwell compared the attitudes of Indian and white children towards each other tothose attitudes of blacks and whites in the South when he was a child. Indians refer to whites as"honkies," while whites call Indians "fish heads." Kidwell noted that "most of the labels revolve aroundthe fishing occupation." Relations between Indians and whites have been somewhat strained before,but Kidwell said the fishing rights controversy has "brought it more out front." He also mentionedthat while there are not too many confrontations between kids "there's always an undercurrent. . . youknow it's there." Parents are usually the source of children's opinions and attitudes, but according toKidwell they are also influenced by publicity and their teachers. Sometimes teachers "inadvertentlygive off vibrations" concerning the issue, and this affects the children. Kidwell is working with thestudents to help ease the tension. Recently he arranged a meeting of Indian and white groups so each side could relate its feelings. Although he was "really leery" about combining the groups for fear oi"having a brawl," the meeting forced the children to listen to the other sides' feelings. A video-tape ofIndians expressing their ideas will be shown to white students, and then the Indians will view a similar tape revealing the opinions of whites. Kidwell commented that the tape "will remove it (thecontroversy) a bit," and enable both sides to be more objective: "We didn't bother many salmon â€”were cleaning up with a back-hoe" Continued from page 1 from a downstream hatchery. The statefisheries office here and in Olympia have been trying for years to find a way to dredge the stream but notthe salmon, Stuckey said. Several times in past years the Innis Creek Road has washed out, making itimpassable. The department has allowed dredging "at even worse times than this" for the salmon,Stuckey said, in order to "safeguard life and limb." They are trying to find a way of keeping the road clear and the salmon run intact. According to Stuckey, the fisheries department has no way of preventingsome dredging during the salmon run. Stuckey would not estimate damage to the creek and salmondue_ to the dredging and premature hatchery "release." The damage done will depend on what speciesof salmon was trying to spawn in Innis Creek at the time of the dredging, according to Western biologyprofessor Gerald Kraft. Some species of salmon will swim through muddy water, Kraft said. Silt raised by the dredging would not hurt their spawning efforts. But other species require clear water to a spawn andlay their eggs in the gravel of the nretnV hpH. In addition, any salmon eggs that were laid and fertilized inthe dredged section would have been destroyed, he said. That portion of the creek is now useless forsalmon spawning. #e a Hzppy rUr THE WELL-FED / BACKPACKER / *%v by June Fleming / A great new book on foods for backpacking, hiking, ski-touring, biking, canoeing, whatevering.

The state is required to prove conservation is necessary. The state can closefishing areas for reasons of conservation or allocation, a fisheries department spokesman said. If fishare caught in allocation areas that are closed, or if fish returns are poor, areas can also be closed. TheLummis want complete tribal regulation of' fishing, said Robert Keller, Fairhaven College, professor whohas studied Indian rights. The state claims they have control, he said. Letters The Boldt decision dictatsif a tribe demonstrates ability to self-regulate in a conservation-minded manner then further stateregulation will be discontinued, a U.S. Department of Interior publication said. "The idea that Indians areby nature more ecologically inclined is an erroneous conception," Keller said. "There is not much basis that Indians today are any more environmentally minded than most parts of white society. I don't thinkthe Lummis are any more innately endowed with environmental concern than the rest of the community." The Lummis have a different view, however. They have a hatchery in operation and have been releasingfish, said Cheryl Johnson of the Lummi Tribe. They also have several aquaculture projects at theSkookum Creek Fish Hatchery, including sea ranching. The sea ranching project began as an accident,Johnson said. The fish were in an old pen system when a wind storm occurred, releasing fish from thenets. The Lummis got a two to three per cent return the next year from this "accident," Johnson said,and sea ranching is now an established project. The sea ranching has had an approximate one and a half per cent return so far this year. AS business manager clarifies views on student and activities feesEditor, Western Front: I would like to make some comments on the article concerning Student andActivities (S A) fees, which appeared in the Nov. 16 edition of the front. I feel my views aremisinterpreted and would like to make some clarifications at this time. The article implied I felt thestudents were given the shaft by Dean McDonald, and upon realizing what the joint resolution stated,concerning S A fees, I no longer felt this, but felt the implications of the resolution had been hiddenfrom us. This is not my feeling. I stated that after seeing a copy of the state resolution that perhaps wewere given the shaft, or that we were merely overlooked in the process. The AS President Bruce Ayers,was given a copy of the resolution over a month ago, yet even then it was not brought to my or JackSmith's (VU director) attention. It is my feeling that since Jack and I represent the AS during budgetarynegotiations, we would be logical recipients of this information. I feel that either through DeanMcDonalds' office or by way of the AS president, that information should have been brought to ourattention. I do not feel that is was an intentional withholding of information. Further in the article it was stated that with total control of S A fees I felt the AS would be getting into a bigger headache than wewould want. What was not mentioned was that although this is a concern it is my feeling, that this isthe job the AS is here to do. Student government should have total control over S A fees. I do not feelthat there is adequate student input in the departmentally related area and those students which dohave input into those areas are hand picked by faculty members. I feel with the AS Board havingcontrol over all S A fees more student input will be elicited and any budgetary "headaches" encountered can be alleviated. Handling the budget request of the depart-mentally related groups as a whole and asa Council of the AS is one of several ways in which this "headache" can be avoided. Mark A Sous aAS Business Manager McCartney view 'narrow, short-sighted' in collective bargaining issue Editor,Western Front: I marvel at the short-sighted, narrow viewpoint of Anne Marie McCartney in your storyconcerning collective bargaining for college faculty. McCartney, a legislative liaison for the studentsof the University of Washington, stated, "We feel collective bargaining would be detrimental tohigher education." Apparently she fails to realize that without collective bargaining and continualpressures from organized labor for universal public education, colleges and universities would still be preserves for the rich. To deny any worker the right to bargain collectively is to demand they lay asidetheir rights as American citizens for eight hours every working day. I hope someone will recom-ment agood book on the history of the American labor movement to McCartney and strengthen a ratherpoor background in U.S. history. William F. Johnston Graduate Student Political Science Middle Eastconflict issues distorted; new clarifications raised Editor, Western Front: In response to Al-Ammaj'srecent letter to the editor concerning the Arab Students Organization, I would like to clarify a fewissues which Al-Ammaj raised. First, I must agree with Al-Ammaj in the defense of his organization. Heis perfectly justified as this is his right to defend himself. What I object to however is the way he seizedthis opportunity to deliberately distort the issues of the Middle-East conflict. Al-Ammaj talked aboutviolence displacing indigenous peoples, I would like to remind him that when the state of Israel was re-created in 1948, the Israeli government urged all Palestinian Arabs living in Israel to remain andbecome part of the new state, but most Arabs left at the insistence of Arab leaders who warned them toget out of the way temporarily, so the combined might of the Arabs armies could crush Israel. This never happened. The Arabs now living inside of Israel are not only citizens with representation in Parliament,but they live better and are more free than most of their brothers in Egypt, Syria Lybia, etc.... How canAl-Ammaj say the Arabs of Palestine were citizens of a state called Palestine. He clearly lacks anybackground in the history of the Middle-East if he calls Palestine a state. It was for 2,000 years, up until1948, a land that was never sovereign. Al-Ammaj talks about indigenous peoples, who are theindigenous peoples of Israel? As the Jewish people began to flock back to their ancient homeland toescape European oppression in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Jewish population of Palestine began to swell. But as Jews entered Palestine, conditions became much, much better, thus leading toincreased Arab immigration to Palestine. You see, Al-Ammaj, the Arabs are no more indigenous than are the Jews of Palestine. Furthermore, any parallel between the oppressive South African regime and the democratic Israeli government is so absurd, it needs no comment. Mr. Al-Ammaj, please watch thewild swinging rhetoric and try to keep things in perspective. Thank You, Mylan Tanzer The WesternFront is the official newspaper of Western Washington State College.

But Western's women's soccer team hasasked again and again for coverage with minimal results. On Nov. 13, we defeated the University ofWashington, securing the Intercollegiate League title. We have remained undefeated all season,defeating both the U of W and Seattle Pacific College. This coming weekend we are entered in aneight-team tournament hosted by the U of W, with high hopes of victory. We have seen reporters andcameras, but little coverage. We feel a winning team deserves support and we are a winning team!Cindy Landrud Western Women's Soccer Women's sports deserve better Front coverage Editor,Western Front: As a member of the Western women's cross-country team . . . it seems a little moreeffort on the part of the Front might result in better coverage of women's sports. Coverage of women'sevents is usually limited to sketchy accounts which do not even include complete results. Whenwomen's sports are growing, in spectator interest and numbers of participants, it seems logical thatwomen's sports at Western could receive adequate coverage in the campus paper at least. Are weless deserving of fair reporting because we are women? On another matter, why has the Front seen fitto change the name of women's teams? Why can't women's teams be called Vikings as the men's are?We all represent the same institution. If Vikette is sexist because it lowers the station of women insports, is Valkyrie any less sexist because it raises the station of women? It seems it puts us on thesame pedestal we have been trying hard to climb down from. Tina Blizard Junior Physical Educationr*^ Sports Editor defends section Editor's note: Some people just need something to gripe about.Your letter about the lack of coverage of women's sports may have been timely five years ago, but thisquarter your argument is just not valid. If any sport has been slighted in coverage, it has been due tounreliability of reporters, lack of space or simply editorial decisions about the relative importance ofone story to another. Decisions on size and placement of articles were made entirely without regard to the sex of the participants. Member of Richard III cast displeased by 'uninformed views' of Front reviewer Editor, Western Front: As one of the bit players in Western's production of King Richard III, I am takingthis opportunity to express my displeasure with the Front and its reporter assigned to review the play. I do not know the reviewer personally, nor are my comments intended personally. I suspect thereviewer was simply given an assignment she was not prepared for. I hope the editor who made theassignment will in the future endeavor to suit the assignment to the reporter with at least amodicum of concern. While the production did have obvious shortcomings, the reviewer was oblivious tothem. The reviewer instead made uninformed, superficial judgements. The reviewer took cheapshots at both the set and the lighting. Both unfavorable observations were made at an. early dressrehearsal before the finishing touches were completed. Roger Germain's set deserves nothing butplaudits. His set was esthetically and structurally one of the better Shakespearean sets I have seen in eight years of association with college theater. The lighting crew did a very commendable job withinthe intricate confinements of the production and deserves, at least, favorable recognition. Thoughthere are several other points of contention with the review, I will refrain from further specifics except totake angry exception with the reviewer's opinion of Pat Vala's performance. Her comments on Pat'sportrayal of Richard do naught but point out her lack of familiarity, with Shakespeare in general andRichard III in particular. Pat's performance was excellent in most all aspects. And aside from being the high point of the show, his performance was of as high a caliber as the best in this level of amateuracting. David T. Barker livery attempt has oeen made to cover men's and women's sports equally. I amconfident that I will be supported in this statement by the female members of the sports staff, includingCarolyn Price, a former sports editor of the Front. Members of the women's soccer team havecomplained to me personally that coverage of their sport has been poor. The complaint is a valid one,and steps have been taken to correct the situation. But in no way was the poor coverage a result ofsexism. As for Valkyries, I am not adamant about the use of the term. When I and members of thesports staff made the decision I felt it was timely and badly needed. But since that time I have gottena mixed response from women athletes. I would like to take a personal survey of all woman athletes todetermine the people's choice of a nickname. Perhaps the majority would favor retaining Vikettes, orcalling all athletes Vikings both men and women, as you suggested. I would welcome any furtherfeedback on the issue.

It will mean the Washington State Department of Highways haschanged to the metric system and the speed is 90 kilometers per hour. According to state trafficoperations engineer Jim Geary in Seattle, all speed limit signs will be changed to kilometer readings bySeptember, 1977. Some signs in the state have already been changed on an experimental basis. Gearysaid there are some near Seattle. A mileage marker to Bellingham will be changed in the next "two orthree weeks," to read 90 kilometers instead of 56 miles. Geary said the changing of mileage markersshould be done by 1982. The highway department does not have the exact cost on the project so far,but Geary said it will be "substantial." Each speed limit sign in the state costs about $50. There isapproximately one every five miles on the over 7,000 miles of state highway. There are also thousands of mileage markers in the state which cost more than the speed limit signs. "It will easily run into thehundreds of thousands of dollars," Geary said. Engineers at the Bellingham office of the highwaysdepartment said they have "nothing in writing yet" that directs them to construct these signs. Gearypointed out there are pros and cons to the new system, but it will put us in step with the rest of theworld. "It will be confusing," he said. "Say an old man is out on the road and sees the sign that says'90.' He may not understand the new system, and I don't think the officer who stops him will be able to give him a ticket. It will be interesting to see what happens." Graduate assistants, "fellow facultymembers 9 9 by HEATHER RICHENDRFER Sixty five graduate students at Western are involved in anassistantship program where they teach undergraduate classes or act as lab assistants. According toSam Kelly, dean of the graduate school, the majority of graduate students don't do assistantships. Those who do work about 20 hours a week and usually carry a two-thirds credit load. They receive a stipend for their services. Kelly says assistants are chosen "on the basis of past performance, interest andaccording to the program." Knute Skinner is the graduate advisor for English. This quarter 11 grads areworking in the department. Skinner says all English assistants are required to take English 513 in thefall. This two credit class gives practical advice and helps assistants "feel confident in and relaxed in theclassroom." Graduate assistants in the English department teach 101 composition classes. They areprovided with a syllabus which they may follow. All 101 classes use the same text. "Other than that,"Skinner said, "the structure of the class is the grad's decision." "Assistants hold a status like that of acolleague with the faculty," Skinner believes. He said they are viewed as "fellow faculty members ratherthan students," Gaylord Hart is a grad assistant in English. He wants his 101 sections to be comfortable, not an "I'm the teacher, you're the student" atmosphere. "I'm learning through teaching the 101classes," Hart said. He is sure the experience will help him when he has a "real" teaching job. DonSanders and Judy Slotemaker are also graduate assistants in the English Department. Slotemaker wasan eighth grade teacher before entering grad school. She said the students here are a nice change fromthe eighth graders because she doesn't have the discipline problems. Sanders said he "appreciateswhat teachers are up against," in a classroom. Both Sanders and Slotemaker find the experience they are getting to be beneficial. They stressed they felt accepted by the English staff and are treated on anequal level. In contrast to the English department, the assistants in the reading program don't teachclasses.

Baker bike club forms The Mt. Baker Bicycle Club is a group ofcyclists of varying riding capabilities attempting to further enjoyment and understanding of all aspects ofbicycling. Formed three months ago, the club has sponsored several group rides, and entertainmentfeatures and has also helped to organize group input into decisions which shape the community. Onecommunity project pursued by the club was the Boulevard project. Two years ago, the now disbandedBellingham Bikeways Committee recommended to the City Council for the establishment of safercycling on Boulevard Avenue, said Tim Wahl, publicity and membership coordinator of the club.(Boulevard Avenue is the arterial along Bellingham Bay between State and 12th Streets). A project topromote co-existence between cars and cyclists, the Boulevard project called for striped shoulders of the road and ehmination of a bottleneck caused by parked cars on Finne-gan Way, Wahl said. The onlyfeasible way to reach Fairhaven from downtown, this project was designed to make the Boulevard saferfor all vehicles. The project was put down at the time, but was revived two months ago by the Mt. BakerBicycle Club, after they got a petition signed by 275 people. The project was approved by the mayor and the no-parking zones and striped roadway were completed. The club organizes many group ridesthroughout the year, said David Fayram, newsletter coordinator. The rides are open to anyone,regardless of speed or age. Families as well as racers take part in the group rides. "We try toaccommodate as many different people as we can," Fayram said. The club occasionally sponsors films,guest speakers and other forms of entertainment and education. Information about bike tours andentertainment features can be found at the various bike stores around Bellingham.

Spend Winter quarter in Mexico Waking up to perpetually cloudy skies is not alwaysheartening - for Western students during winter quarter. If you're one of these students, maybe youshould consider a sunny option this winter by attending Instituto Cultural Tenochitlan (ICT). Mazatlan,Mexico is the location for the new program offered through the foreign study office. Excess interestand participation in the already established program sending students to Guadalajara, led to the newprogram being added on a trial basis. Transfer of earned credits within foreign study office guidelines isguaranteed. Class schedules can be obtained from the office. Intensive Spanish and Mexicancooking, guitar, dance, literature, culture and women's studies are some of the programs offered. Thefocus of the Mazatlan campus is Spanish language programs. Tuition and fees for the eight-weekprogram is $295, compared to the $169 charge for Bellingham-based students. According to aninformational bulletin, students have the option of arriving by car, bus, air, train, bicycle or burro.

Smith, 26, graduated from Western lastspring, with a degree in art. He has a full time job doing photography for Western's ed media center. Hehas photographed for eight years. Several years ago, he abandoned black and white and "people"photography, to focus on wilderness.photographs that, he said "convey my perceptions and forms thatoccur naturally." The portfolio photographs were taken in the Cascade Mountains during a summer ofhiking, in 1975t However, Smith said he has no desire to do the kind of panoramic scenes the Cascades easily lend themselves to. "I'm interested in abstraction," he said. "I usually like to get up close. Thoughthe photographs are realistic, in that one can recognize their subject matter, they are never-the lessabstract." The impact is in the forms lines and colors, rather than the subject itself. Smith uses the dye-transfer method of color nrintina.Tt is the only type major museums will collect because it is lesssusceptible to fading.

C.W. "Chuck" Page, of security. Some $7,905 was recovered and returned toowners, he said. The return rate nationally is about five per cent. Lt. Page said the surprisingly highreturn rate on campus is due in part to owners who have identified their merchandise. Security is urgingcollege residents to identify their merchandise by participating in the campus program called"Operation Identification." The program's first step has the owner locate the brand name, model andserial numbers on the merchandise and keep the information written in a "safe" place. Second, theowner should engrave his driver's license number somewhere on the merchandise with portableelectric engravers, available free of charge at security and from residence hall staff in each dorm. AWashington driver's license is the best identification because it is a "unique" number and is easy totrace, Page said. The turn out for the Nov. 15 campus flu vaccine clinic ended up being the singlelargest one-day clinic in the county, according to Dr. Philip Jones of the Whatcom County HealthDepartment. A total of 863 persons received swine flu shots. Many people who could not get to theclinic by the 3 p.m. closing time were turned away, said Evelyn Schuler of Student Health Services. Thehealth personnel stayed until 4 p.m., to finish innoculating those who remained. Some people who hadknown allergies to eggs or chicken feathers, had to pass a skin test before they could be innoculat-ed.If the skin test proved positive the person would be refused, due to possible reactions. Jonesestimated that out of the innoculations given, 16 persons might be expected to have minor reactions. Sofar only two people have called him concerning reactions to the shot. Reactions involve chills orheadaches which may go away in two to five days, if aspirin is taken and rest is obtained. Those stillwanting to be innoculated can do so free of charge, by going to the Whatcom County Clinic at 509Gerard St. Dorm staffs meet for 'fresh ideas' Residence hall staff members and student leaders fromthe Pacific Northwest will be exchanging ideas, participating in workshops and recreational activities this weekend at Fair-haven College, according to Nancy Moffett, Western student and RegionalDirector of the Pacific Northwest Association of College and University Residence Halls (PNACURH).The three-day gathering, beginning tonight, features representatives from Washington, Oregon andAlaska.

While 47 per cent of the nation's eligible voters exercised theirfreedom by not voting, some three and one half million Saudi Arabians have never been given a choice intheir political process. A member of Western's Organization of Arab Students, who wished to remainanonymous for fear of retaliation by Saudi detectives, spoke about the differences in political freedom ofthe American and the Saudi Arabian. The major limitation facing Arabians is a monarchial structure. Theking is a member of the Saudi family which has been in power for 80 years. Along with the king and hisfamily are ministers and a few prominent families who share the immense wealth derived from oilproduction and sales. Abdul (the Arabian translation of John Doe) emphasized that only this elite classdirectly benefits from technological advancement. He blames the United State's media for failing toexplain that it is the king and top executives Arab organization receives recognition A Western branch of the national Organization of Arab Students received recognition last month by the activities council.Branch Chairman Badder Al- Ammaj said the purpose of the OAS here would be to make studentsaware of the social, economic and cultural life of the Arab people. He said the group would use parties,Arabian night events and speakers from Exxon, Texaco, Standard Oil and Shell who decide priceincreases, not the Arabian people. The common people of Arabia still live much the way they have forhundreds of years. Under the present system, Bedouin tribes send representatives to the king. Thesemen are given expensive presents in return for promised allegiance. A keystone in maintaining thisfeudal system is the exclusion of the populace from government policy decisions. In fact, publicdiscussion of policy is forbidden. There is no constitution or bill of rights as exists in the United States.The Koran remains the basic law for Saudi Arabians, and the king is considered the closest mortal toGod. Here lies the power base for his autonomous control. Abdul graduated from a Saudi college anddescribes a completely different atmosphere on the campus there. It is unlawful to hold meetings orgatherings to discuss personal opinions of government. He acknowledged that there are many instancesof arrests taking place after students met. The students are carefully watched by Saudi detectives.Faculty are not allowed to publish without first obtaining government consent. Abdul said he knows offaculty being arrested for expressing their opinions of government policy. There are no political sciencedepartments or law schools in Saudi colleges. The schools are basically for trade skill development.Probably the most oppressive aspect of the dictatorship is government ownership of newspapers andpublishing houses. There is no free enterprise market. from the area to present the Arab culture toothers. Al-Ammaj said the OAS has been established in colleges and universities in the United Statesand Canada for 25 years. He said the group here consists of seven Western students and five fromWhatcom Community College. The group is headquartered in the V.U. Ethnic Union, office 006.

The two basic things to considerwhen buying a stereo are how much to spend, and how to allow for later improvements on the system. "When buying a stereo, $350 is the minimum price tor a real stereo," said Rich McKay, assistantmanagaer of the Belling-ham Sound Center. "Usually when someone comes into our store wanting tospend about $300, we try to talk them into spending a* little more to get better quality." There are twotypes of stereo systems â€” modular and component. A modular system has all the components builtinto one unit. The component system has separate, interchangeable components. The biggestadvantage of modular system is price. Most of them are considerably cheaper than componentsystems. Also, an entire modular system is in one nicely packaged unit, with all the components matched for good sound by the manufacturer. If space is a problem, a modular system is ideal. The big disadvantage to the modular system is in later improvments and flexibility. "Once you've bought amodular system, you can't improve on it at a later date," McKay said. "You're stuck with what you'vegot." Another disadvantage is that if one component needs repair, the entire modular system must besent away. If this happens, one might be without any music for at least six weeks, the minimum time ittakes most manufacturers to repair and return a stereo. The advantage of buying a component systemis in its flexibility and improvement potential. Not only can a broken component be sent awaywithout disrupting the entire system, but better components can be added as the owner's taste orbudget changes. The big disadvantage of a component system is, it will probably cost more, and finding the right combination of components is difficult.

"Whensound is put on records or tapes, it is changed into electrical energy. The amount of energy may rangefrom a few milli-volts, what a record puts out, to about one^ fourth to one-half volt, put out by a tapedeck," said Mike Tebrich, a Bellingham Sound Center salesman. "The pre-amp increases voltage toabout one or two volts. This is sent into the power-amp, which amplifies it even more. The voltage is then transmitted to the speakers, which change the electrical energy back into sound waves." The tunercaptures radio signals out of the air, as well as distributing the proper amount of bass and treble to each speaker. It also does several other things, which because of their complexity are not included in thisarticle. Another component is the turntable. Some things to look for: â€”A strong motor.

The Romulans are disorganized and except for attacking DougTaylor, the Trekkers' third in command, with a toy bazooka the Romulans have done nothing more thanmake idle threats. Trek segments so many times they can recite lines from their favorites. The have allbeen fans since the show began. Taylor admits he missed the premiere of the show but hasn't missedsince. Hollingsworth, a political science major ("that's why I'm the boss"), has seen all the segments somany times she now skips the bad episodes. CHIEF ENGINEER DOUG TAYLOR â€” of the U.S.S.Higginson displays hand-made phaser, communicator and model of the Enterprise. Jana Hollingsworth,the Trekkers first in command, explained the" Romulans are dissident Trekkers who attended their firstmeeting in September but were turned off by the $3 yearly dues required by the Bellingham StarTrekkers. There are also Klingons in Kingston; specifically the Klingon Imperial Command but they are members of the Puget Sound Star Trekkers and don't make any threats at all. The fifteen members ofBellingham Star Trekkers make up outpost 13 of the 16 outposts that comprise The Puget Sound StarTrekkers. Outpost 13 was started in September by Taylor, Hollingsworth and Karen Selbert and itsheadquarters is in Higginson Hall. Members are from on campus (inner orbits), off campus (outerorbits) and members vary from junior high school to college ages. Like many devoted Star Trek fans most of the members of outpost 13 have seen all the Star Fairhaven acts coming A talent show beingorganized by two Fairhaven College residents is still in need of acts. Tucker Haywood, one of theorganizers, emphasized the event is open for all and it not a competition. Haywood noted that no actswould be turned down "unless they are really lewd." Anyone with more or less conventional talent mayjoin the show by attending the rehearsal, 7 p.m. Nov. 23 in the auditorium, or by contacting Haywoodat 5172 or his co-organizer Joel Ferell at 5900, In particular she avoids the many "sexist" episodeswhich portray Captain Kirk as "the cosmic womanizer," a term she borrowed from David Gerrold, authorof "The Trouble with Tribbles," the most popular Star Trek episode. Star Trekkers do not foresee the daywhen Star Trek is not on television. If the show is ever cancelled the letter campaign that brought theshow back the first time it was cancelled will rise again. "It was not until Star Trek that science fictionlearned what power was," explained Hollingsworth. She added that similar letter campaigns have beenused by Trekkers to insure the original cast be used for the upcoming Star Trek film instead of using acast of big name Hollywood stars.

The stylus, sometimes incorrectly called the needle, should be kept in the recordgroove with a minimum amount of force. Some turntables have tracking forces of less than .75 grams,while others may track at 2 or more grams. â€” An anti-skating device. The stylus tends to ride theinside wall of the record groove distorting the sound going into the right hand speaker. An anti-skatingdevice forces the stylus to remain in the middle of the record groove. Turntables come in belt drive anddirect drive models. The belt drive turntable has a rubber belt and pulley which connects the motor to the platter. Its main advantages are that the belt transfers little vibration from the motor to the platter, and is less expensive than direct drive. The direct drive turntable produces less vibration. No belts or pulleysare used, since the motor's drive shaft is the platter's spindle. The motor turns at the same speed as the platter. "It's almost impossible to Star Trekkers go "where no man has gone before!" cont. frompg. 11 are all anticipating. If the movie is the success they hope, it may lead to a revival of the televisionseries in some form, perhaps as a movie of the week. Another big event for outpost 13 is the Jan. 29Star Trek Convention in Seattle featuring lectures by science fiction greats Robert Heinlein andHarlan Ellison. The group is currently trying to think up projects for the convention but have not come up with anything as ambitious as outpost l's attempt to build a replica of the Enterprise shuttle craft.They do have two films in the planning stages. Written by Hollingsworth and Karen Se-bert, the first film,"Curioser, Curioser" will be shot soon. Hollingsworth describes the film as a silent slapstick centering around a croquet game between a Federation captain, aKlingon and Victorian ghost. The other film, "An Alien in Heat," is a deep dark secret, Hollingsworth said. , Bellingham Trekkers "are not nearly asfanatical as other outposts," Hollingsworth said. They have many interests other than Star Trek.Hollingsworth may be moving to Olympia next quarter to serve as a legislative intern. Taylor feels theday will come when he doesn't watch Star Trek much, but he will always appreciate the show for itsdesign. He explained that the Star Trek posters covering his wall are mainly just to relieve thestarkness of Higginson rooms. He added that he, like many Trekkers, enjoys all forms of the media,especially television and comics. Most of outpost 13's members are also comic book fans. Hollingsworth has over 2,500 Marvel comics and has had 25 letters printed in Marvel comics. notice any differencebetween belt and direct drive turntables," Tebrich said. "Both a good belt drive and a good direct driveturntable are damned good, but the belt drive is the better value." The last component is the speakersystem, which determines to a great extent what the entire system will sound like. "One of theproblems with buying speakers," Tebrich said "is that manufacturers' specifications are notstandardized. I can show you two speakers, each with the same specifications, and they will performdifferently. "The only way to select a pair of speakers is to go into a store and listen to them. Even thenthey may sound different when you bring them home. Speakers sound different in different rooms. It'sbest to buy speakers at a store with a bring-back policy." Buying the System Tebrich said stereosystems should be built around the speakers. McKay disagreed. "I personally feel the turntable andcartridge are the most important components," McKay said. "Good ones are essential if you're going todo any taping. "Pre-recorded tapes are the biggest rip-off in the business, so it's best to record offrecords," he added. Personal music requirements really determine what parts are selected for a system, McKay said. "If you mainly want background music, I'd invest in a receiver. If you enjoy playingrecords, a turntable and cartridge are more important. If you like loud rock music, you'll probably wantspeakers that can handle a lot of power," he said. Tebrich named three basic places to buy a stereo."There are the mail-order, discount-house places, which are all right if you know exactly what you want.There are the department stores with large stereo departments, which sell below the manufacturer'ssuggested retail (msr) prices and may offer some help, and there are stereo specialty stores, whichusually sell their equipment at about the msr price, but offer knowledgeable salespeople to help with your selection." Tebrich also talked about "Consumer Report" recommendations. "I don't thinkmuch of the way 'Consumer Reports' rates stereos," he said. "They try to rate everything just by usingstatistics. They test their speakers in an echoless chamber, which doesn't even closely resembleanyone's living room. They just don't have the knowledge on stereo matters." In the end,specifications, advertisements or salespeople can't be totally relied on in the selecton of a stereosystem. They can only help to a point. YQur ears are the Final judge.

"PLU is not your conventionalfootball team. They have a lot of different offensive sets and change them around frequently. Our defenseis going to have to stay alert and be aware as to what formation they run from," the seventh year headcoach remarked. PLU clubbed Western in the Vikings' first game of the 1975 season, 42-6, but Longshrugs off that game. "It was the very first game with our young football team. PLU had played a previous game and had been turning out longer than us. That game wasn't a clear indicator of the type of teamwe are now, or PLU for that matter. However, there are many players with us last year who rememberthat loss, and want to make up for it," Long said. The PLU-Western rivalry spans 39 games, with PLUleading the series 20-16-3. Each finished with identical 6-3 records this 1976 season, and each finishedsecond in their Turkey Trot deadline near Deadline is Monday for entry blanks to be turned in for theintramural Turkey Trot, according to IM co-director Kent Sherwood. The race is scheduled forTuesday, Nov. 22. The event will cover approximately 2.5 miles for men Â°nd 1.5 miles for women arour.. courses laid out around the south end of campus. Awards of turkeys will be given to both the menand women who most closely predict their finishing time, plus the winners of men's and women'shopen races. Ad men and women students that have not participated in a collegiate cross country racethis season are eligible. Sherwood also urged prospective IM basketball players to pick up team entry forms. A captains' meeting is set for Dec. 2 at 4 p.m. Entry forms will be due at that time. Play willbegin the second week of winter quarter. respective conferences, Western in the Evergreen and PLUin the Northwest. Western's offense revolves around the rushing of freshman Pat Locker, whose 1,182total yards ranked seventh nationally among NAIA backs and quarterback Bill Mendelson, who led theEVCO in passing yardage and total offensive yardage. Mendelson's favorite targets are Jeff Potter andHoyt Gier, who combined for 69 receptions, 1,197 yards, and 10 touchdowns this year. PLU loves tothrow the ball, and to shut down the PLU squad, Western will have to key on the nation's premier small-college receiver, Al Bessette, who is averaging nearly 130 yards per game and has scored 16 TDs thisyear. QB Brad Westering has thrown for over 1,110 yards this year and has found Bessette on the otherend for 16 touchdown strikes. The Western team is very up for tomorrow's contest, loose in turn-out andconfident of their ability to move the ball in clutch situations. This is the first time in Viking football history that a team has appeared in post-season play, and they would love nothing better than to end the 1976campaign with a history-making victory. The game will be played at Tacoma's Franklin Pierce stadium.Tickets are available at the Western athletic office in Carver gym, $2 for adults: $1 for students.

The little guy is Western basketball coach Chuck Randall, who returns for his, 14th season as Viking headmentor after a year's leave of absence to recover from a severe heart attack suffered late in the 1974-75season. The new faces include every member of the Viking varsity roster, none of whom Randall hascoached before. The Vikings return only three lettermen, including one starter from last season's squad, which compiled a 14-12 record under interim coach Jack Eck-lund. But Randall has found little to cryabout. An outstanding recruiting job and the caliber of the returnees leaves Randall very optimistic."Ability-wise, though not size-wise, this is as good a ballclub as I've ever had," said Randall, who has run up a 216-107 record in his career at Western. Randall's high hopes begin with the lone returningstarter, 6-6 senior Greg Smith, who averaged 13.1 points and 8.1 rebounds a year ago. Smith, a formerCentralia College standout, has been a leader in hustle and desire, in early practice sessions, Randall said. "He should have a fine year," the coach said. Craig Ericksen, a 6-1 sophomore from Spokane'sJohn Rogers High School, lettered last year in a sixth man role. Randall predicts Ericksen is "goingto be a really fine ballplayer." Velko Vitalich, a 6-0 senior from Seattle, is the other returningletterman. Randall describes the former Highline College athlete as the type of player he would beable to insert into the lineup in the late going of tight contests and "win ballgames for us." The list ofnewcomers is led by Monte Birkle, a 6-2 sophomore from Anacortes who earned second-team all-conference honors at Skagit Valley College two seasons ago. He sat out last season and will not beeligible to play for the Vikings this year until the Dec. 28 Eastern Washington State College Christmas Classic due to transfer rules. "If we have one star, he'll be it," Randall said. But Randall does notexpect to have to rely on one player. Recruiting efforts netted several prospects that Randall speaksof in glowing terms and thinks will give him outstanding team balance. "It looks like our eighth guy maybe just as good as the first guy,," Randall said. "Other teams will feel the effects of our more powerfulbench." Dan Burch, a 6-2 sophomore from Bellingham's Sehome High School, is a transfer fromSpokane Falls Community College. While there, he performed well enough in the state tournamentthat Randall felt he deserved most valuable player honors. Four freshmen â€” Doug Creasey, ScottSmith, Kevin Bryant, and ron Standin â€” may all crack the starting lineup at times during the season,Randall said. Creasey, at 6-6, is expected to play an important role in the past for the Viks, either asa part-time starter or in a backup role, Randall said. Creasey was a standout at Roseburg, Ore. HighSchool and participated in the All-State game. Randall found Creasey the most impressive rebounderin that game. "He's just big, strong raw material," Randall said. Smith, 6-1, was all-state performerfor West Linn, Ore. High School, whick raced to a 26-1 record his senior year. Randall describes him asthe type of player that does everything on the court well, but doesn't stick out. "He's a solid all-around ballplayer," Randall said. "You don't realize his value until you see him play every day." Bryant, 6-2from Portland, Ore., played on a Sunset High School team that placed fifth in the Oregon AAAtournament. The quick guard is described by Randall as "explosive, a real cro wd-pleaser.'' Strandin, a6-5 all-state performer from Stanwood High School, has the "cool disposition to be very much of aclutch player," Randall said. "I don't expect any first-game jitters from him," the coach said. Severalother players are in the thick of the battle for varsity berths. Larry Gibson (6-4 sophomore, Seattle), BillAmes (6-5 senior, Sunnyvale, Calif.), Doug Nemo (5-11 sophomore, Stanwood,) and Bruce Lee (6-8sophomore, Spokane) and are all top prospects. Lee, the tallest member of the team, lacks onlyexperience, Randall said, and should get it in a back-up post role. Ames should be an important reserve, and gibson Nemo and Zender will begin the year on the junior varsity. Though Randall feels this teamhas the ability to be outstanding, "they aren's doing things as well right now as some teams I've had," he said. "All my ways are new to them," he continued. "Usually in the past I've had a nucleus of veteransthat already know how to check, how to run the offense, how to do things my way. This team has comea long way, but they have a ways to go." Raldall, whose teams in the past have been known for toughdefense, rates his quick squad as potentially as good as his best defensive teams ever. "It's going to bea fun year," he finished. "The kids are excited, and I'm excited. One thing we do hav is loads ofenthusiasm." Galen Reimer, a long-time local high school coach at Mt. Baker and Sehome, is -thevarsity assistant. Tom Lowery is handling the junior varsity program for the second year, and KentSherwood is the red-shirt coach. CHUCK RANDALL Viking JVs face tough schedule Tow Lowery, in his second year as junior varsity basketball coach, says of his 1976-77 team, "If we lose a game allyear, it will be my fault." Lowery's bold prediction is made unblinkingly, even in the face of a rockyschedule that includes two games each with the jayvees of University of Washington, Seattle PacificCollege and University of Puget Sound. He feels his team is that good. Heading the list of what may bethe Vikings of the future is captain Larry Gibson, a 6-4 sophomore from Seattle's Ing-raham High School. "He has as much talent as anyone at Western," Lowery said of Gibson. "I hope this is the year he puts it all together." Jay Terry, 6-6 and 220-pound freshman from Olympia High School, is an "unbelievable raw talent," Lowery said. Freshman Rob Seheibner, a 6-3 all-state performer from Orting, is a tough,hustling kid," according to Lowery. Ron Radliff, 6-0 and an all-stater from Enumclaw, has been leadingthe jayvees in statistics in practice so far. Dave Haas, a 6-1 freshman from Portland, Ore., is atremendous jumper and shooter, according to Lowery. Dale Zender, a 6-6 sophomore fromDeming, was a standout on Gonzaga University's freshman team last season. He, along withGibson, may be temporary jayvees as they have the skills to move up to varsity, Lowery said. Other top prospects include Mylan Tanzer, Dave Morris, Jeff Sigurdson and Scott Sullivan.

'â€¢'â€¢" â€¢â€¢:-â€¢-â€¢â€¢? Her three years of varsity experience has led to her ability to call the plays on the court andprovide leadership. "She's our best all around hitter and provides a lot of leadership on the floor," volleyball coach Kathy Knutzen said. You need a floor leader on the team," Stearns, a Canadian, said. "A lot ofyoung players tend to look up to an older player, but I don't know whether I'm the best'one As Stearnssees it, a leader should always be up so she can help the team when they are down. "I have my upgames and my down games. Sometimes I feel when I don't get the job done, I can't help them (theteam)." Stearns, a junior, began playing volleyball in the sixth grade. "I didn't make the team the firsttime I tried, but there was a volleyball club that met on weekends that I went to," she said. During highschool, Stearns spent three weeks in Japan going to school, playing volleyball and living with fourdifferent families. The trip was part of an exchange program Burnaby High School sponsored whichinvolved athletes. Stearns and her teammates raised $3600 through projects such as car washes andgarage sales to help finance the trip. A federal grant provided $1200 and $2400 came out of their ownpockets. Stearns remembers the treatment the group received from the people in small northern towns,like Raikuzentakata, where they had never seen Canadians or Americans before. "The mayor and all thetownspeople would come to greet us and they'd have a huge dinner. Little kids would follow us and TVcameras would be on us while we were in class," she said. She also remembers the devotion seen inevery player on the Japanese team. At practice, when the coach came in the gym, everyone lined upand greeted him formally. "It's like he's their master," she said of the team where they all cut their hairalike. In Japan, a freshman is allowed to train with the team but never plays with them until hersophomore year, Stearns explained. Besides volleyball, Stearns also compete in the five-eventpentathalon, consisting of the 100 meter hurdles, the shot put, high jump, long jump and 200 metersprint. Last spring she placed first at regionals in Idaho and went on to place 20th in national competition at Kansas State University. Stearns will transfer to Simon Fraser University this winter where she'sbeen offered a track scholarship. STEARNS Women hooters clinch crown Experience doesn't alwaysmake the difference. The women's soccer team, many of whose members had never played the gamebefore, refuted the ancient axiom by winning the Northwest Collegiate Conference championshipwith a 7-0 blitz of University of Washington Beta last Saturday. The victory boosted Western'sseason mark to 4-02 in its first season in the conference. The Valkyries close their season thisweekend in the First Annual Women's Husky Classic in Seattle. Western will meet Oregon StateUniversity at 5:30 tonight at Husky Stadium in the first round of the double-elimination event. Teambalance, as it has all season, proved to be Western's most valuable asset against UW Beta as fivewomen got into the scoring act. In the first half, Karen Stuberg scored twice and assisted on a goal byJerri Meiran. Connie Tuson scored the fourth goal on a direct kick from inside the penalty area. In thesecond period, Cindy Landrud scored once on a penalty kick and again from 20 yards out. DeniseBlagley notched her first goal of the season to complete the scoring as the UW goalie funbled a shot by Stuberg. "This is one of the most cohesive soccer teams I've ever observed. The girls had. more espritde corps than all the teams we met." Despite winning the conference crown, Stenson was reluctant to assign the favorite's role to Western in the Husky Classic. He tabbed Camp Brotherhood, aseasoned city league team from Seattle, as the team to beat. Host team UW, which will field a teammade up of the best players from both its squads, will also be formidable, Stenson said. University ofBritish Columbia, University of Oregon, Seattle Pacific College and Washington State University round out the eight-team field. Valkyries lose key player by JULIE NELSON Western's volleyball team willlose a key player when Sue Stearns, floor leader for the Valkyries, transfers to Simon Fraser Universitythis winter. . Her absence will also be felt by the track team, where she competed in the five-eventpentathalon, placing first at regionals and 20th at the national meet. Coaching, Stearns said in aninterview Monday, is the main reason she is leaving. In her three years at Western she has had threedifferent volleyball coaches. If she stayed for spring quarter she would have her third track coach also.Stearns said most of the volleyball and track coaches she's had at Western have had little or no previouscoaching experience. Volleyball coach Kathy Knutzen coached one year at the high school level beforecoming to Western this fall. "A volleyball program wasn't around before then, so how much experiencecould I have?" Knutzen said. James Davis;, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, gaid the problemwith, coaching positions for women's athletics is that the faculty has been cut in recent years and thereisji't money enough to bring- in new positions. Davis agrees that new positions are needed to fulfill theneeds of women's athletics and the P.E. department. ! Stearns Used Knutzeri's position as an exampleof the treatment the less popular sports receive at Western. Although she believes Knutzen has done agood job as coach, Stearns also believes Knutzen's duties as women's junior varsity basketball coachthis winter take away from her volleyball coaching. "It doesn't directly interfere, but we are at the peak ofthe volleyball season and have two weeks left. I don't think her mind is totally on volleyball as it shouldbe," Stearns said. Teammate Marlee Neson does not agree with Stearns that basketball distractsKnutzen from her volleyball duties. "She (Knutzen) is organized so the time she spends with us atpractice is a full practice. I don't think basketball detracts from her coaching volleyball," Nelson said."Volleyball is rav priority right now. I am running the basketball practices but that's not my main concern," Knutzen said. "You need a coach to build a program," Stearns said, "you can't do it by changingcoaches every year. The only thing here is women's basketball." "The basketball players come herebecause a program has been built up over the years. They've had one coach," Stearns said. "Like theysay, it's a basketball school not a volleyball school," said Pat Da vies, junior varsity volleyball coach.Davies also played two years of varsity volleyball at Western. Evelyn Ames, athletic director for women;said the department has been.trying for^manyyears to improve the coaching of wbmen's athletics. ."Until the administration of this college does something about it, thereis nothing we can do," Ames said. Part of the problem, C.W. "Bill" McDonald, vice president for student affairs, said, is that coaching hasnot been recognized as a part of the academic load. Currently, Dean Davis and Dean McDonald areworking to improve women's coaching.

The trip averages 30 minutes, and although the cost of commuting by air is not inexpensive, the two figure that money saved from rent and meals more than compensates for it. Both are teachers at Friday Harbor; Mrs. Mordhorst at the high school, and Mrs. Minsch in the fourth grade. Mount Baker Summit Reached Sunday By Ardent Climbers Mount Baker's summit, was reached by a group of 24 ardent mountain climbers, Sunday, July 25. Thanks to Laverne Brockmier, who got up at 2 a. m. to get the fires going, breakfast was over early, and the group was on the trail at 4:25, under the leadership of Happy Fisher, veteran guide. Thick clouds and a strong wind prevented the group from staying on top very long. Everyone made the trip in good shape, getting back to the cabins early enough so that by 5 a. m. packing had been completed, and the cabins were again deserted. Special guests who made the trip were Chuck McCullough, of the Mount Baker Hiking club; Norman Abrahamson, a member of the Sierra Mountain club, who flew from Pasadena for the event, and Mr. Ira Schwartz, visiting piano-instructor this summer. Faculty members Who made the ascent were, Miss Marjorie Muffly, Mr. David Rushong, and Mr. Donald Irish. Students were, Ray Phillips, William Reams, Eleanor Wil-banks, Jean Moyer, Herbert Boroughs, Keith Johnson, Phyllis Emerson, Pershing Nicholas, Elizabeth Thatcher, Denise Bancalari, Laura-lee Germain, Jack Francis, Roger Mulleri; Bill Reece, Fred Clogston, Loren Sheldon, and Stuart Fresk.

Sunday, August 1: Attend the church of your choice. Tuesday, August 3: Helen Barlow- Harrison, mezzo-soprano. College auditorium, 8 p. m. Wednesday, August 4: Picnic at the Rocks, 4 p. m. Air Age Here; Students "Fly Commuting by plane every day from. Friday. lt; Harbor, two summer students at WWCE, Mrs. Mary Mordhorst and Mrs. Lois Minsch, both have 7:30 a. m. classes but they have only been late once. The trip averages half an houi although favorable wind and water conditions have cut that time by a third. They drive from the Lake Whatcom landing to Bellingham. Although the cost of the five weekly round trips is not small, it is cheaper than hiring help for Mrs. Mordhorst's farm. Rent and meals are also saved by living at home. Mrs. Mordhorst is high school girls' adyiser and home economics instructor at Friday Harbor. Next September will mark her sixth year of teaching there. She received her teaching certificate at WWCE in 1933' and later taught at Ferndale. Mrs. Minsch received her certificate from the state teachers' college at Greeley, Colorado. She is the fourth grade teacher at Friday Harbor. Next September will be her third year there. . Discussion Led by Nora Cummins •Miss Nora B. Cummins, faculty member, was moderator of a panel discussion, "Local Action in Democracy," at the Institute of Government being sponsored Thursday, July 29, on the University of Washington campus by the League of Woman Voters of Washington.

STANLEY TURVILLE ACCIDENT VICTIM AT COLLEGE POOL Tragedy befell the college this week as shocked students learned of the accident that has sent a two year old child to the hospital in a critical condition. Little Stanley Turville, 25-month-old- son of Mrs. Esther Turville of Port Orchard, suffered a fractured skull when he fell from the balcony of the college swimming pool last Monday and struck the tiling below. Mrs. Turville, a student during the summer term and a teacher in Port Orchard, had left the small boy in the custody of a young girl while attending classes. Stanley is still in the hospital a; the WWCollegian goes to press but his condition is improved according to hospital authorities. VOTE AT EIGHTEEN QUESTION TO BE DISCUSSED BY SSSA "Should the Vote Be Granted Eighteen Year Olds?" will be the topic for discussion at the meeting of the Social Science Study and' Action club, Wednesday, August 11, at 7:30 p. m. A speaker on each side of the subject will be presented. Questioning and further discussion will follow the speakers, with all present asked to participate. All interested in the topic are invited to attend. WWC Maintains Active News Letter Service To be sure, "names make news" and this is twice as true when the names are those of people known personally to the reader. That is why the President's office at WWC maintains an active student honor news letter service. The primary purpose of this service is to keep the people at home informed of the honors and activities which their fellow citizens, friends and relations have received or participated in while attending the college. PAST YEAR BUSY ONE In the past year over 1400 news letters have been sent out to "home town" newspaper in 38 states, Alaska, Canada and England, and to nearly every city and town in the state of Washington which is large enough to support either a daily or weekly newspaper. And that includes the whole "scale" from the Monroe Monitor and the Forks Forum to the Seattle Times and the Tacoma News-Tribune. Upon entering WWC, each student fills out a newspaper card listing newspapers taken regularly in the home. This card is then filed with Mrs. Ruth Burnet of Student Publications and the news letters are addressed from the card. Blackout regulations were published in 1941 Collegian. College PpJiiicwA^-Rdst^LjIe':- Is Revealed by Interview by ye Auld Editor There is really nothing mysterious about a politician! Such a statement can be proven by citing the example provided by a student at WWC who is in the midst of a fight to gain the Democratic nomination of representative to the state legislature from the 42nd district. There is nothing mysterious about Bob Funk, a neophite politician. It was two hours past midnight and the Christmas present most apr predated by the Funk family on December 26, 1922, was the arrival of little Robert Owen. Bob was befriended bjr his two brothers and cared for by his two sisters, all of them older than he. His younger years were spent in the manner of an average child and in the course of events, he moved to Lynden. Ten years of young Funk's life were whiled away in that city and then, in 1939, he moved back to Bellingham where he completed high school at Bellingham high. From the school board he received a diploma and from the government he received a summons. The next item in his life revolved about Navy life. The Navy had furnished him with a broad travel plan which included: New Caledonia, Espitas Santos, Fiji islands, the Philippines, and China. Funk witnesssed the mop-up campaign on Corregidor against Japanese troops in the island's caves. It was a bright day in November, 1947, when Seaman Funk became citizen Funk in Seattle. He came home and married his childhood sweetheart, Beatrice Peterson. Funk has set his ambition on a career in the foreign service and would especially prefer to serve in South America. He is a sociology major. Robert Owen Funk, veteran, college student, and scoutmaster of troop No. 15, is the.youngest candidate for the office of representative. He is 25 years of age. "I feel that it is time that the younger generations of our country are represented in * law-making bodies," declared Funk. "I would like to see our state go forward in several- fields. I am certainly in favor of a veterans' bonus; the repeal of the unstable sales tax and the installation "of a sane income tax program; and the increase in benefits to our senior citizens. "I urge the lowering of the legal voting age in this state from 21 to 18. I believe our state should develop its mineral resources and its tourist attractions. I believe that our (Continued on Page 4) Ferris Estimates Fall Enrollment Twelve hundred students is the enrollment which Registrar Donald Ferris estimates for fall quarter. About 400 Freshmen are signed up, for fall entrance..This is a bigger number than were registered at this time last year. Approximately 500 of last year's students are prc-registered. When asked if he thought the draft would have much affect on WWC's enrollment, Mr. Ferris answered, "I don't think so." Since college students will be permitted to finish the college year before being drafted, little effect is expected tins year." . ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1948 July 30 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, BeHingham, Wash. Friday, July 30, 1948 Youth of Today Are Interested in Politics It would appear, in the light of current events, that the day when youth was told to keep out of politics and government because politics was an old man's game has disappeared from the American scene. In the nation today, youth is taking an active interest in politics and in government. More and more young people are joining youth organizations affiliated with the main political parties and are learning the ropes as far as political methods are concerned. Young people are looking at the government in local, state, and national bodies and are asking themselves why such archaic things as the electoral college method of electing a president are permitted to exist? Only when things are brought under the gaze of an interested citizenry are old-fashioned, medieval methods corrected. Young people are coming to the realization that no matter what profession they enter into, what the politicians do at city hall, at the state capital, at the national capital, directly affects their daily lives in such important things as housing, taxes, high prices, sound economy, and labor-management peace. All these things are directly affected by the government and people are beginning to realize that if representative government is to be successful, only the best qualified men can be elected, no matter what political party they associate themselves with. Let us hope too, that the days of "I'm a Democrat because my father and my grandfather were" or "I'm a Republican because my mother and grandmother were/' are gone forever. Youth can now snow its interest in this campaign by acquainting itself with the fundamental issues which are at stake in the 1948 campaign. It's your government, it's up to you if you want it representative! Congress Toying With the Nations Safety by Inaction Although filibustering on the civil rights program has already begun in the Senate, and hopes for a hard-working session are now nil, the fact remains that the Congress is deliberately playing "football" with the nation's safety. If this special session fails to enact anti-inflationary controls the country wilt tie forced to go another eight or nine months with prices climbing skyward. The danger lies in that such a period of uncontrolled high prices might well provide the "bust" that Communist leaders expect. Citizens should write every Senator and Representative from the State of Washington and urge that they fight for inflationary controls. It will be too late by the time the new 81st Congress takes over. ThelWorld Today . . . by funk OLYMP1A . . . The Canwell Committee ended their hearing on the University professors this week. Albert P. Canwell and Robert L. Rutter, Jr., said they plan to introduce legislation requiring state employees to answer question of a legislative committee or forfeit their jobs. Canwell stated- that committee plans on charging 12 persons who refused to answer committee questions about Communist affiliation with contempt of legislature. The full committed met Wednesday and decided to cite the 12 witnesses for contempt" of legislature. If convicted the penalty can involve up to $1,000 fine and one year's jail sentence. ATLANTA . . . Rumors are still circulating in the United States today on the topic of the "Buck Roger's Plane" and new rumors have been started on the "flying saucers." WASHINGTON, D. C. . . . President Truman gave his formal message to Congress Tuesday. The President reiterated his program that was offered to his colleagues in the Democratic National Convention, Some of the main points stressed were: Sharp curtailing of the present dangerous high prices; new tax reforms; substantial living wage to our senior citizens now drawing old age benefits; and adequate housing not only for veterans but also for the crowded and unhealthy conditions now present in most of our cities. Reactions to the President's speech were: Cool reception by the Republican members of the House; definite hostility by the right wing of the Southern Democrats; and a hearty burst of applause by the northern liberals of the Democratic party. Governor Dewey, 1944-1948 presidential hopeful was quoted as saying "stay there a couple of weeks and go home." The 80th Congress seemed to be taking just that attitude. Do nothing-ism, quibbling about the President's game of 'politics" was the general strategy of the Republican die hards. BERLIN . . . The Russian blockade is still a question that faces the American people this day. To date many changes have occurred in the policies of the Allied Nations. Recently the Russian press charged the Allies of manning'relief planes with incompetent, and poorly trained pilots. The American commanders in Germany retaliated by sending protests to the Berlin sector on violations of International Treaty, involving the right of way of planes over occupied territory. The present plans of the Allies are to clear a stretch of ground for a new airfield. The only objection the Russians give is that the Berlin Radio Station tower is located at that site. - Your Faculty- Dr. Van Aver Dr. Albert Van Aver, English professor at the College, is this week's faculty member to be interviewed. Dr. Van Aver is married and has two children, Jan, 12, and Philip, 9, who attend the Campus School. He stands 5 feet 6 inches tall, has dark hair and brown eyes. His hobby is reading and his favorite foods are strawberries, T-bone steaks and shoe string potatoes.

Dr. Van Aver came to BeHingham in 1939 but took'a leave of absence during the war to teach in the Army Air Corps at Montana State University. He ' has received three academic scholarships; one at.', Claremont College, another at the University of Iowa and the last one, which he received two years ago, was a national scholarship, purely competitive, in which Dr. Van Aver competed with students in other fields. This scholarship made it possible for Dr. Van Aver to complete work leading to the Ph.D. His career has not been purely academic. He has had years of experience in journalism, advertising, and publicity. CCF Will Feature Many Speakers Student speakers from six different colleges and universities will be presented at College Christian Fel-lowhsip meetings during the next two weeks, August 2-13 at 12:30 p. m. The students are attending the Inter-Varsity conference currently in session at the Firs. Coming from San Francisco State College, Thomas Carroll, history major, will address the group Monday, August 2. Wednesday the 5th, Giff Martin, deucation major, of Montana State University, will speak, while Friday, August 7, Edward Broman. mechanical engineering major, will be heard.

Planned for Tuesday, August 3, is a special business meeting for .all who plan on attending WWC this fall. Herb Netchj Northwest Inter- Varsity Director, "will be present at this meeting. Sandwich Bar Now Closed Sandwiches can still be obtained by going through the line at Edens hall, even though the sandwich bar closed last Friday, July 23. Mrs. Avesta Ward, Edens hall dietician, stated that there aren't enough student during the second term to keep it open. The sandwich bar was started as a measure to relieve the long line, and since enrollment is down one-third this term, the line has been automatically relieved. Approximately 80 to 110 students .used it the first term. GOPStart Chapter At College All young Republicans are invited to come to a meeting at the Herald Building conference room tonight at 8 p. m. The meeting was planned by John Sigurdson, WWC student, in order to discuss the forming of a new chapter of the Young Republicans Association. Miss Alma Madden, instructor at the college, candidate for commit-teewoman from this district, will be in attendance at the meeting. Wade Williams, head of t h e Whatcom County Young Republicans will act as leader. A candidate for congress fronf the 2nd district, Arthur A. Anderson, is also expected to be there. Miss Madden In Politics By PAT SOMERS "Government really begins in the precinct," states Miss Alma Madden, speech teacher at Western Wasn-ington College, who filed recently for precinct committeewoman on the Republican ticket in the fourth ward. Miss Madden is the number one politician here at the college. A state chairman, vice chairman, state committeeman, and state committeewoman are elected every two years. Miss Madden calmly explained intricate details to a very befuddled reporter over' and over again with little success but here is the desired information. After the county officers are elected in the general election in November they meet in the courthouse and select the chairmen for the state—a brief pause for breath— these meet in January to elect state chairman and vice chairman who make up the national committee. Two are elected from each state and plan the national convention. The Republican nominee from the state"of Washington, Miss Mad-, den further explained the electoral system. There are to be eight from this state and one will be chosen by the electors themselves to go to Washington, D. C, where the vote will be cast in the presence of Congress as a formality. A luncheon for the electors is held at the White House. After Pearl Harbor several WWCE girls were trained for Air Raid Warning duty. WWCE girls worked at Boeing during the summer of 1942 to help out the war effort. Young Demos Organize To organize a Young Democrats unit was "the purpose of nineteen college students at a meeting held int he YMCA, Wednesday, July 28. The group, voting to affiliate with the Washington State Young Democrats, elected George Dowd as tern- t porary president. Other officers are: Robert O. Funk, vice-president; Robert Dickson, treasurer. A group of seven was elected for the execu7 tive committee: Kathleen Golly, Robert Anderson, Betty McLeod, Lola Samuelson, Barbara Shields, Shirley Swank, and June Hardin. Robert Funk, Democratic candidate for state representative from the 42nd district, gave a short.talk to the group. The newly organized unit endorsed the platform of the Washington Young Citizens' association concerning the right of eighteen-year-olds to vote. Funk is a strong advocate of this association's platform. Meetings of the Collegiate Young Democratic Club of Whatcom County, the name chosen for the new organization, are scheduled for the first and thirgd Wednesdays of each month until after the November elections.

Bell Makers Present From Capistrano Among other interesting families here at WWC, are Mr. and Mrs. L. Curtis Bell, with their 12 year old son, Nicky. The Bell family has a permanent home at Capistrano beach, in California, but this quarter are living on the Puget Sound. It is Mrs. Bell's first trip to this state. When Mr. Bell first attended school here in 1930 he was a classmate of Dr. Alan Ross. Mr. Bell received his degree at San Jose state college the following year, Mrs. Bell also received her B.A. there. They are both teaching in Capistrano. Commenting on the school, Mr. Bell said: "We were half the faculty last • year, one year we composed two-thirds of it. We teach in a very small school." He went on, "My boy, Nicky, has decided to come up here to school when he enters college. He likes it. "I'm very grateful for the way in which children are accepted around the school. They are free to wander in and out of the building. I don't know of another school that permits that and if it weren't possible here, we couldn't have been here this summer since Nicky had to be with us." During the war, Mr. and Mrs. Bell owned a pottery plant down in California. Their specialty was making novelty bells, some of which-were exhibited to an art class last term. After more than three years in the business they sold it and both of them went in teaching. Their son, Nicky, was the winner of the last week's Collegian advertising puzzle.

And as Beedlebaum races across the finish line, a tremendous roar goes up from the spectators in the stands. Is this all the exercise and benefits derived by the multitudes who follow sports? Is this a symptom of a new malignant disease known as "spectatorism"—or to use the Latin: "watcheritis?" Natura Non Facit Sultum Of course, the paying spectators, and even those who climbed over the fence or looked through the knotholes, gain some psychological benefit (known to very few as empathy) from this passive participation. This may have bjrth/ either an exhiliarat-ing and/or a tiring effect. When the situation is favorable to the spectators, this manifests itself in the form of overexuberance, ecstasy, or hebenphrenic delight. (Thank you, Dr. Woodring!) Under unfavorable circumstances, this exhibits itself as frenzied gloom, grief, despair, and/or general depression. (As one can readily see, this fluctuation between manic-ism and depressive-ism consequently and/or eventually leads to manic-depressive phycho-sis.)

On Friday, Western's board of trustees passed a motion to use renewable energy on Western's campus. The switch to renewable energy is scheduled to start Sept. 21, the first day of classes fall quarter, said Tim Wynn, director of facilities management for Western. The trustees' vote follows an initiative passed by 84.7 percent of students in spring 2004, said Associated Students president Rachel Zommick. "Western students are at the forefront with all eyes on us. We are at the front of an important environmental issue," said Eileen Coughlin, vice president for student affairs and academic support services. Following this vote, the board of trustees will vote again in August to determine the fee students will be charged, starting fall quarter 2005. The student initiative requested that the fee not exceed $19 per year, which the board of trustees approved. The fee will be included with tuition charges, said Western junior and member of the Students for Renewable Energy Erica Althans-Schmidt. Members of Students for Renewable Energy were overjoyed by the unanimous agreement by the board to the renewable energy motion. "I feel amazed, I'm thrilled, I'm glad it happened within two yean gt; and before I graduate," Mohamedali said. Students forRenewable Energy, comprising approximately 20 active members, has been working to educate the student body about renewable energy since it originally became an AS club in spring 2003. Students for Renewable Energy also worked with the administration and the AS to formulate the spring 2004 initiative, Althans- Schmidt said. "We are very excited. We're very proud of the students at Western," said John Warner, board of trustees chairman. "They are doing the right thing and using their education see ENERGY, page 6 Downtown's watchful eye Police chief says security cameras ensure safety BY MARISSA HAESHMAN The Western Front Bellingham's new security cameras will deter crime downtown and ensure safety for residents and business owners, Bellingham. Police Chief Randall Carroll said. As of Jan. 14, all 10 surveillance cameras the police department bought were installed and operating, said Clark Williams, Bellingham transportation manager. Installation of the cameras began this past summer, he said. The security cameras are mounted on traffic light poles in most of the main intersections in Bellingham from Magnolia to Chestnut Streets and from State to Commercial streets, Carroll said. The cameras are not recording and are not regularly monitored, Carroll said. The police department monitors the cameras if recurring problems arise in an area that requires extra attention, he said/ "The cameras are not there to invade your privacy but are there to protect everyone downtown," said Holly Barbo, co- owner of Barbo Furniture on Cornwall Avenue. Not everyone agrees the cameras were installed with the protection of Bellingham residents in mind. "The (American Civil Liberties. Union) is very suspicious of any plan to install cameras," said Daniel Larner, a Fairhaven College professor and member of the Washington State ACLU board of directors, "In general, the yield in safety and law enforcement from surveillance systems is a long way from being worth the cost in money, time and in the price we all pay when we lose our anonymity and hence a piece of our liberty." The police department purchased the cameras in response to a petition filed by downtown merchants with the Bellingham City Council last year, Carroll said. Barbo was one of the organizers of the petition. "A lot of people talked about getting cameras, but nobody had the time to get anything started," Barbo said. "I took the time to make sure it got done." Barbo said she received signatures from^^lj people walking the streets downtown â€” customers, visitors from out of town, business owners and students. Barbo did encounter some people who felt cameras installed downtown would infringe on their right to privacy, she said. "People have to understand that you are not entitled to privacy on a city street," Barbo saii'l. A majority of the people Barbo spoke to said they did not feel like they had any reason to feel their privacy would be invaded by the cameras on the street, she said. .; "If you're downtown minding your own see CAMERA, page 6 Western junior forward Tyler Amaya dunks on Saint Martin's College in Students, community build amphitheater near Fairhaven Courtesy of Casey Hons Students involved with the Outback Amphitheater project designed this rendering of what the actual amphitheater will look like. BY TREVOR SWEDBERG The Western Front Western students and community members are working together to build an amphitheater behind the Fairhaven dorms. Volunteers have planned and designed the structure for the past four months and organizers estimate the project will be completed in another four to five months, Western sophomore and project foreman Casey Hons said. The student-driven â€¢ Outback Amphitheater will be certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Certification is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The semi-permanent structure also has a permaculture design â€” in other words; it is being designed with .the environment in mind. 'The materials are almost all environmentally friendly," Hons said. 'We're using sustainably harvested cedar from the Evergreen Ecoforestry, who practice selective cutting." Organizers were inspired to build the structure after a series of stages were torn down from the same spot because of dilapidation and problems with building codes. 'There have been four stages in the past," Hons said. 'This is the fifth and final one." When completed, the amphitheater will be a community-events venue, said Gabe Shulman, a Western graduate and the project initiator. 'It will hold concerts, theater, dance, seminars, workshops and even outdoor movies," Shulman said. The venue will be equipped with electricity as well. 'Within a year there will be solar panels to power mics and the lighting, "Hons said. 'There will even be a drop-down sail so movies can be projected as well." Progress is slow because the project is volunteer-driven and people only work when they can find the time.

Company president Lee Smith said respondents overwhelmingly chose Anheuser-Busch's "Soldiers in the Airport" as the best Super Bowl ad. That was followed closely by another ad from Anheuser- Busch: the sky-diving pilot jumping out after his six-pack. "Viewers chose the Ford Mustang convertible with the frozen drivers as No. 3.

Georgia preacher guilty of running pyramid scheme A jury in Rome, Ga., has, found a preacher guilty, of stealing nearly, $9 million from hundreds of small, black churches nationwide. Kennard was found guilty of 132 counts, ranging from mail fraud to tax evasion. Prosecutors said he ran a pyramid scheme meant to take advantage of a tight network of black preachers. Approximately three-quarters of the investments were supposed to be used to build resorts The rest would go back to the churches that paid a $3,000 fee. But authorities say the resorts were never built and the money often was never paid.

"Western has an inquisitive student body, ' making it easy to recruit," said Jim Gunsolus, aformer Western recruiter anda 1975 Western graduate. "Not every college has a recruiter, but Western puts out such a high quantity of volunteers it requires one." The Peace Corps sends volunteers to developing countries throughout the world, where they assist people in fields such as education, health care and agriculture, Western recruiter Nicole Meinzer said. Western produces so many recruits because its programs, especially those involving the environment and international affairs, appeals to those who would be ideal for the Peace Corps, Meinzer said. "Students realize that there are fantastic opportunities for training and overseas travel available through service in the Peace Corps," she said. Most volunteers are recruited through class presentations and videos, Meinzer said. The best recruiting comes from listening to former volunteers speak about their experiences in the Peace Corps, she said. Becomingavolunteerisanarduousprocess, Gunsolus said. Prospective volunteers must pass a health check and undergo three months of training to study the culture of where they will work.; Language skills are not required, because^ they will be "learned, ^during thev training" lie said, Knpwing French or Spanish;'' however, always is helpful in a Third World country, he said. __' A host country requests volunteers based on the need for the volunteers' skills. The most requested skill sets are health care and education, Gunsolus said. All volunteers must have at least a bachelor's degree in the specific skill set needed in the host country, he said. "People want to be taught or treated by someone with a degree," Gunsolus said. "There isn't a need for manual labor in a Third World country. There's no shortage of ditch diggers." After three months of training, volunteers work in a host country for two years, earning $100 a month, which amounts to a living allowance, Gunsolus said. They can afford housing, food and clothing, but little else, he said. At the end of the commitment, volunteers receive $6,000 and a vacation to anywhere in the world. However, volunteers face many challenges in their host countries, Gunsolus said. They often have trouble acclimating to the culture or can't bear being apart from family or loved ones, he said. Gunsolus and his wife, Susan Anderson, a 1977 Western graduate and counselor, in the Career Services Center, both volunteered in the South African country of Lesotho in the late 1970s, working as teachers. Anderson and Gunsolus stayed in the small town of Morija, which was 30 miles from the then Lesothoan capital of Maseru. Anderson, with a degree in geology, and Gunsolus, witha degree in special education, said they worked as teachers for the Basotho tribal community. Every morning they traveled several hours on horseback to reach the mountainous community. They enjoyed the Peace Corps so much, 1 they stayed an' 'extra' year in Lesotho, Gilnsi liisl'said. ;' ^";-'-; : -; x-^-' -â€¢ â€¢: "Everyone should consider doing it," Anderson said.

Career fair wi 11 assist students in job search BY MICHELLE ACOSTA The Western Front As the 'end of the quarter quickly approaches, employment is becoming a necessity for Western students looking for summer internships or new career opportunities. â€¢.. The Career Services Center is sponsoring an annual Winter Career Fair on Feb. 10, in the Viking Union Multipurpose room from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Effie Eisses, outreach specialist at the Career Services Center, said the fair will give Western students a free opportunity to discover a career path or gain valuable information that will help in future job searches. Eisses said approximately 800 to 1,000 students are expected to attend the Winter Career Fair this year based on last year's successful turnout. She said the fair allows employers to engage innetworking, aresource benefiting students by providing them with information on specific job opportunities, contact information and possible links to different fields of interests. "Each employer will have their own display and information booth set up to represent their company," Eisses said. "Some may not be offering jobs right away, but it is still a great way to learn more about each company and see what they have to offer in the future." Eisses said several Western alumni will represent employers for recruiting new people and handing out information on future career employments. Several other employers will hand out applications as well as schedule interviews, Eisses said. ' She" saidparticipating employers include Microsoft, Grayline of Alaska,. Fastenal Co., and the FBI. Eisses said 77 employers from local and national companies will attend the Winter Career Fair. The organizations participating are profit and nonprofit, and extend as far as Illinois, she said. Tina Loudon, director of the Career Services Center, said the Center has the largest number of employers coming to the fair this year based on previous years. "We're all booked for available space and can't make room for any more employers," Loudon said. Loudon said the Winter Career Fair is an event that is not just focused on Western juniors and seniors.but also freshmen and sophomores. "It's an educational event for freshman and sophomore students interested in becoming more familiar with employment expectations," Loudon said. Eisses said employers are coming to Western because of its good reputation and quality of students. These qualities make employers want to recruit Western students, she said. "These employers realize that students have limited work experience," Eisses said. "But they believe in the potential of students and want to offer information and opportunities to help with their career path." Eisses said the fair also is an excellent resource for those uncertain about career goals. Summer jobs, internships and career employment information are available for undergraduate and graduate students seeking to research the job market, she said. Dan Spiak, employer at Progressive Insurance, said the company hired several Western students in the past and hopes to find more at the fair who are interested. "We're looking to hire someone who will be graduating and wanting to work full time," Spiak said. "This fair is a great way for career growth." PREGNANT?

A nine-member panel of museum officials, architects and members of the Bellingham-Whatcom Public Facilities District selected a design Jan. 29 by the Seattle firm Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects. The new building, to be built at 216 Grand Ave., will house the art gallery and children's museum, an extension of the Whatcom Museum of History Art. "We thought this team had the best feel for the fabric of life in Bellingham," said Dunham Gooding, president of the BellinghamT Whatcom Public Facilities District and chairman of the jury that chose the design. "We want the building to relate well to its surroundings but also to look to the future." After the Bellingham City Council and the public facilities district vote on the design in the next four to eight weeks, Gooding said the firm will work with a building committee to further develop the plans. He said he expects changes to the design that will reflect input from a broad range of people, including members of the public facilities district, museum staff _ and patrons and city council members. Patricia Decker, manager of the Bellingham- What com Public Facilities District, said she expects construction to begin in nine to 12 months, son Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects of Seattle, Cambridge Seven Associates Inc. of Boston, and Nick Milkovich Architects Inc. of Vancouver, B.C. ' "The prestige of the jury contributed to the high number of forms seeking to be chosen as competitors," Gooding said. Gooding said the museum will form part of the cultural district the public facilities district board is developing in downtown Bellingham. The Whatcom County Council and the Bellingham City Council created the public facilities district board in 2002 to encourage cultural growth in the area. Gooding said the board's first project was renovating the historic Mount Baker Theatre last year. "When this work is done, our intention is that when you enter the district you will- fully feel that you're in an attractive and unique area," Gooding said. He said he expects the money invested.in buildings such as the Mount Baker Theatre and the new museum to lead to more private investment in the cultural district. "We will see heavy use of the district not only by people using the institutions that we've helped expand but also taking advantageof hew opportunities for dining, shopping and business," Gooding said.

Decker said the budget for construction is $6.1 million, but said the total will reach close to $8 million with the cost of permits, the cost of the site on Grand Street and architect design fees. She said state sales tax rebates and private donations will fund the building. Gooding said 49 architectural firms from the United States, Canada, South America and Europe applied to design the new museum building. The jury picked the winning model from three finalists: 01- the new building will have regulated heat and humidity as well as handicap access, elevators, a museum store, gathering spaces for events and a small cafe. Jim Olson, the lead architect for the project, said a central feature of the building design is a translucent, curved wall that will encircle a public garden. "When you go into the courtyard it's all around you," he said. "It'll glow by day and night." . Olson said the vinyl screen could be lit from behind or a film or artwork could be projected on it from the front. He said the wall would cast an ethereal light on the gallery inside. "When the sun is shining outside, you will get this nice glowing feeling from the wall," he said. "It will be lit like a paper lantern." The other three exterior walls also will showcase art. Olson said the;facade^ of^brick-colored concrete along Grand Avenue will be punctuated by alcoves and windows spanning the height of the two-story building. Olson said the wall facing the alley will be a public community mural, an ongoing mural project on which anyone can paint. In order to make the building look appropriate in its surroundings, Olson said he modeled the front of the building, along Grand Avenue and Flora Street, to fit with the proportions, scale and color of the adjacent buildings, many of which were built around 1900. . Olson said he and his, associates designed the building to be a haven for the old and young, alike. For the children's end of the museum, he said children will be able to play with interactive exhibits; crawlspaces, slides and a puppet theater. Olson said the children's museum will be a place for chil- . dren to be active and participate in what they see. "It's all about using your imagination and learning how to express your creativity," he said. The current exhibit at the children's museum, "Gimme Shelter," features several child-size houses. One of these is a structure built to look like the hollow cedar stump houses some Northwest "pioneers lived in at the turn of the century. The stump house fills the small space at the current museum, but Scott Wallin, Whatcom Museum's director of exhibits, said 28-foot ceilings in the new building will allow them to build exhibits such as these life-size. "Every time you have another floor or another wall, that means you can have more content and more information," he said. Bev Wiltshire, the operations manager of the children's museum, said die jexhjbits often; draw^more than 1,000 visitors a day. "We are only limited by our ability to grow at this point," Wiltshire said. "Imagine what kinds of fun we can have with the new building." ---------- Western Front 2005 February 08 - Page 5 ---------- FEBRUARY 8,2005 NEWS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 5 General studies major may soon be history; changes also possible BY BLAIR WILSON The Western Front Reconstruction and possible elimination of the general studies major has been discussed by the Academic Coordinating Commission for more than a year and was addressed in the Feb. 1 meeting. The commission is trying to find a solution to the issues surrounding the major. "The (general studies) major is not really a major, more of a hodgepodge of classes," said Jeff Newcomer, commission senate representative. Western approved the degree in 1995, and at the end of the year 32 students graduated with a general studies degree, according ' to the registrar's office. This quarter, 147 students are declared general studies majors, according to the Registrar's office. The commission is discussing the general studies major because some students feel the degree devalues other degrees, said Brian Gettmann, Associated Students vice president for academic affairs. A lack of structure also is a concern of the students within the general studies major. Western conducted a student survey and concluded that students felt a lack of academic consistency within the major, especially regarding advising support, Gettmann said. "Students who have graduated with a general studies degree feel there is no support, or direction," Gettmann said. The lack of academic structure and advising support could be because the major allows students to cross disciplines, making advising and structure difficult when it is spread out among departments, professional staff academic adviser Linda Clark said. Another survey showed that of the 42 surveyed a year after graduating in 2003, 41 were employed and one unemployed, according to Western's Career Service Center. One reason some students pursue a general studies major is because they have difficulty passing a gatekeeper course â€” the one difficult class that must be passed in order to be accepted into a major, Gettmann said. This eliminates them from declaring the majors, of their choice and; therefore, leads them to the general studies degree, Gettmann said. "Students are far along in the degree and hit a roadblock such as math.Students can't pick a major or are not able to be accepted into a major, or students just change their mind," Newcomer said. As of now, Newcomer and commission member Linda Kimball have both submitted proposals for discussion. Newcomer presented the first proposal at the Jan. 18 meeting. His proposal suggested canceling the general studies program by fall quarter 2006. With this, students currently in the general studies degree would be able to finish the program, but acceptance in the major would end after summer quarter 2006. Newcomer also suggests in his proposal to create "clusters;" or course groupings within the specific colleges. The clusters would allow students access to any upper-division class and provide advisers for the students, Newcomer's proposal states. Kimball brought forward the second proposal at the Feb. 1 meeting. The proposal suggests keeping the general studies major the same and adding a required final course within the specific college, called a capstone seminar. "(Students need) a project that pulls it all together to make it a better designed program," Clark said. For a student to be considered a general studies major, he or she must complete 60 upper-division credits and must earn a 2.0 grade point average or better, according to Western's major requirements. The unique aspect of a general studies major is that students can take classes in two or more disciplines as long as they meet the 60-credit minimum, Clark said. "Students like the variety," Clark said. "They like the idea of self-designing a major." The commission has not made a final decision. "I hope we make some changes to the degree before the year is done," Newcomer said. "It would be beneficial to the students."

"We're almost at the beginning of the construction," said Eric Conn, a Western graduate and community volunteer. "Just a few more legalities with permits and things and we'll start building." People are coming from throughout Bellingham to help the effort. "We've had Western Alums, present students, physical plant employees (the architects and engineers) and community members," Hons said. "But we're always looking for more." The project could use assistance in a variety of areas, Western sophomore and project laborer Adam Roberts said. Coordinators are looking for material, tool and monetary donations and physical laborers. Volunteers don't necessarily need any building experience to help out, Roberts said. "If you play music and would like to have gatherings, come on out," Roberts said. "And we also love artwork, so if you have a hand for painting or art sculptures we would love to have your work." The amphitheater will be located between Fairhaven College and Buchanan Towers, on the south end of Western's campus, Shulman said. i i ^ H t i S i i i i i S i i p (WilB^O^piiiiiwIlftil BBSHIlHiiKiH^iBlli w w w . f a i r h a v e n p u b . c om THE FAIRHAVEN Pub Martini Bar Live Music Spirits in Old Fairhaven 1114 Harris Avenue - 67 1 -6745 www.theroyal.Hsz Live Music Schedule Monday - O p e n Mic Wednesday - K a r a o k e w/Jody Thursday.

The issue of safety downtown is not new to the City Council, councilwoman Louise Bjornson said. Businesses downtown and Bellingham residents have expressed concerns about safety to the City Council in the past few years, Bjornson said. In addition to installing cameras, the City Council added more lighting to darker areas, worked with property owners to keep storefronts clean and has tried to put more residential buildings in the area, she said. "We want to make (downtown) a healthy place to be, day or night," Bjornson said. But Larner said the cameras would not put an end to crime, but would move it to another part of town. "It is important to note that in other cities, installing cameras has essentially moved crime to other neighborhoods rather than stopped it," he said. Bellingham police are hoping to see beneficial results downtown, Carroll said. So far, the cameras have led police to a single arrest, he said. Police responded to an assault at the intersection of Holly Street and Railroad Avenue a couple months ago, Williams said. Before officers arrived, however, the suspect fled. An officer went to the camera and was able to watch the suspect and direct officers to the man, who then was arrested, Williams said. "I can have one person watch 11 monitors, whereas I would have to have 11 officers patrolling to see the same things," Carroll said. The city has had cameras located in different parts of town for decades monitoring traffic flow, Carroll said. The installation of the cameras downtown is not new for the city, but the process of the police department watching the activity of people is new, he said. "It's about economics, it's about resources and it's about responding to the community's needs," Carroll said.

Energy: Western will negotiate the cost of new green power CONTINUED FROM PAGE J well. We are happy to give them the green light." Western's power supplier, Puget Sound Energy, is using power from hydroelectricity, gas fire turbines and coal fire turbines, Wynn said. "Gas, coal and oil are nonrenewable, they are not being made anymore," Wynn said. "The Earth will run out." These forms of electricity give off emissions into the atmosphere that cause global warming. Renewable energy is safer for the environment because it uses electricity mainly from wind and solar power, he said. "Students are investing in the environment," Coughlin said. "Energy used from a renewable source is the direction of the future." Following the board of trustees' vote, Wynn said he will start negotiating the supply rate with Puget Sound Energy. The rate is the amount of money it will cost to supply the campus with renewable energy, also called green power, Wynn said. Puget Sound Energy will take the negotiated rate to the Washington Utility and Transportation Commission for approval, Wynn said. The Washington Utility and Transportation Commission sets the rates and regulates all commonly held utilities in Washington state, including electricity. After the commission's approval, Wynn will take the rate to the board of trustees in August, which will make the final decision regarding the fee amount. "Those students worked very hard â€” they were sophisticated in their efforts," Coughlin said. "The students have been rightfully praised for their grass-root student leadership effort.

Inside her Bellingham home, Oscarson has six reasons for working 35 hours a week and for leaving the house unheated when money is tight. Residing there are her best friends, her sources of happiness â€” her six pets. Oscarson said her motley collection includes two cats, one dog and three birds. Most were abandoned or abused by their previous owners, she said. But while others may have rejected them, they have found a welcoming home with her. "I enjoy the company," Oscarson said. "I can't picture my house without pets." Oscarson's attitude is not uncommon among Western students. College students are ideal pet owners, said Dr. David Rabkin, a veterinarian at the Maplewood Animal Hospital north of downtown. "Owners have to understand that the pet is dependent and requires them to be committed from day one to the end," he said. College students, because they have more free time than someone working 9-to-5, can better fulfill that commitment, he said. "For a lot of people the prospect of owning a pet is daunting," Rabkin said. "But the benefits are so incredible that you1'shake ^6?urheacf wondering why ybu waited so long." The benefit pet owners cite most, Rabkin said, is the companionship. Pets are always anticipating their owner's return home no matter how the day went, he said. For those assets, Oscarson said she is willing to make sacrifices. On top of a double major in anthropology and educational studies at Western â€” (she hopes to graduate in 2006) â€” she said she has worked as Rabkin's assistant for two years. She often helps Rabkin with surgery, she said, and does other tasks such as drawing blood and counseling clients on how best to heal their pets. For $12 an hour Oscarson has carved herself an existence dependent on Top Ramen noodles arid spending sprees at . REI, she said. And yet, Oscarson said, she wouldn't have it any other way. "It's amazing how much you can love one little hairy creature," she said. "If I ever had kids I wonder who I would love more â€” the pets or the kids. I think it would be the pets." Her eldest pet is a 17-year-old pug PETER JENSEN/The Western Front Western senior Melissa Oscarson and her 17-year-old pug, Butch, are two members of a home with six pets. named Butch, but he may be the soonest to depart. Butch has thyroid cancer and is not expected to live more than six months, Oscarson said. But that did not stop him from hiking 75 miles along the mountainous Pacific Coast Trail with Oscarson last summer. "Butch kicked ass," she said. Oscarson has two cats --- a gray house catnamed Bird and an orange tabby named Spike. Complementing the cats are three birds residing in her bedroom â€” parakeet named Alex, a red-bellied parrot named Chili and a conure, a type of Brazilian parrot, named Pepper. Oscarson said her love for pets may even become unhealthy at times. "When I'm driving my car in the rain, I worry about running over worms," she said. Oscarson, who grew up in Spokane, said she has been surrounded by pets her entire life. While other teens had pictures of boys decorating their walls, she had pictures of animals. Because Oscarson wanted to adopt every stray cat or abandoned net, her mother quickly created a sevelfcpet limits she said. To afford all her pets, Oscarson began Working in pet stores at 16. After high school, she went to Spokane Falls Commtojh^Â£bUege for tlfee yea^^before she tratisfen'ea to'^sfcrn in 2002. She: ": said she has worked at animal hospitals for the past five years. "For every cat or dog that is adopted, that is one less cat or dog that will be put to sleep," Rabldn said. Western sophomore Elliott Smith rescued bis dog, Brutus, not from euthanasia but from another owner. . Four months ago he got Brutus, a three-year- old half Dbberman, half Labrador, from his brother's co-worker, Smith said. In addition to a 14-credit workload at school, Smith works at the Bellis Fair Cinema for minimum wage, or as he sees it, "my dog food and beer money," he said. He sells tickets and often works several shifts a week,'depending on his workload at school, he said. Some shifts go until 1:30 a.m. The key to keeping pace with the work, Smith said, is getting his priorities straight. School or work are never more important than your best friend," he said. "Besides, Brutus takes care of me more than I take care of him." While Smith^gets daily exercise from walking Brutus by Lake Whatcom after school, he said he benefits most from just staying busy. "I am just better at life when I am busy," he said. Before he became Brutus's owner at the beginning of fall quarter, Smith said his life was headed nowhere. He was in and out of Western because of poor grades; he was enrolled during one summer quarter two years ago, then took a year off before enrolling again this past summer, he said. While out of school, he said his life mostly involved working at the movie theater, partying excessively and going on road trips. "There was a point when we sucked at life," said Smith's roommate Tyler Olsen, a sophomore at Whatcom Community College. With Brutus, Smith did not party as much and returned to Western. He is pursuing a bachelor's degree in Canadian- American studies. Oscarson and Smith are unsure what their futures will be; for Smith perhaps law school, perhaps Canada. As for Oscarson, she said her goal is to be well-educated, well-traveled and well-loved. How she will accomplish this goal is yet to be determined, she said. Rabkin said he recommends that students looking to own pets research their options first and know what they are getting into. Pets will change their owners' lives, he said, because they require money, time, training and large amounts of attention.

While the signs stopped going up at 11 makes, the Western players kept pouring in treys on their way to a school- record 18 three-pointers and a 110-84 victory over the Saint Martin's College at Carver Gym. Western improved its record to 16-4 overall and 8-3 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference while the Saints' record fell to 8- 12 overall and 5-6 in conference play. The Vikings shot 18-33 from three-point range as a team and broke the former school record for three-point shots made in a game of 17, which was set in 1991. Western head coach Brad Jackson said his team accomplished the feat while running its normal offense. "It wasn't necessarily by design," Jackson said. "This is a team that has confidence in shooting the three. (The players) tend to feed off one another." The three-point shooting seemed to be contagious. Six Vikings scored from behind the arc, including junior forward Grant Dykstra, who led the long-range attack, shooting 7-11 from 3 on his way to 25 points. Western senior forward Craig Roosendaal nearly matched Dykstra's outside proficiency when he converted 6-10 three-pointers and finished with a game-high of 29 points. Roosendaal said this was his best shooting performance since he arrived at Western this past season. "Sometimes, you have those. games where you feel like the rim is 10 feet big," he said. Western went on a 24-4 run and never led by fewer than double-digits the rest of the way. The Vikings' three-point onslaught continued in the second half, and, along with several emphatic dunks from Western junior forward Tyler Amaya helped keep the crowd of more than 1,200 involved in the blowout. * With approximately three minutes remaining in the game, Western junior guard "Preston Vermeulen drained the Vikings' 17th three-pointer of the night ,and public address announcer Bill Palmer informed the crowd that the team had tied the record. Two possessions later, Western freshman forward Brett Weisner hit the record-breaking trey from the left side with 2:26 to play, and the crowd erupted. Jackson said Western's depth and the frenetic pace of the game helped wear down Saint Martin's, which only brought nine players _ to the game. He also said he believes the Vikings play well in the half-court offense. "We've got great balance," he said. "There's not a kid out there who can't shoot or at the same time run." Eleven Vikings scored in the game, and the team shot 52 percent from the field. Amaya tallied 12 points and 12 rebounds for his fifth double-double in the past seven games. Dykstra also totaled six rebounds, six assists and six steals and Western junior guard Ryan Diggs scored 16 points and dished out nine assists. Saint Martin's senior forward Solomon Wyatt led the Saints with 16 points along with 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Western junior forward Niko Nunogawa scored 13 points, well off his season average of nearly 20 points per game. With the victory, the Vikings maintained sole possession of second place in the GNAC and set up a showdown with Seattle Pacific University Saturday at Carver Gym. SPU, currently in first place in the conference at 9-2, defeated the Vikings 76-68 Jan. 15 in Seattle. In addition to the conference crown, Western also is battling for playoff position. The team is third in the West Region ratings, behind the University of Hawaii at Hilo and SPU. The top eight teams make the national tournament.

"We want (riders) to commit to the level they are ready for but also to extend themselves a bit," Rickerts said. Plude said he wants to emphasize the desire to get students interested in riding and racing, while understanding that money can be an issue for college students. He also said the team raised more than $ 10,000 last year through fund raisers and sponsorships. "(By having sponsors) it allows people to focus more on riding and less on money," he said.

With remarks such as, "(I) carry a Sharpie with me at all times now. In my car, in warm-ups. Got to flip the script," during an ESPN interview in 2003, Terrell Owens, also known as TO., is cool because, through all of his faults, he has remained an individual and created an entertaining character that should be embraced and not shunned. Owens' latest controversial incident came with the speculation of whether he would play in the Super Bowl a scant seven weeks after breaking his fibula and tearing two ligaments in his ankle. Last Tuesday, media outlets throughout the country converged in Jacksonville, Fla., in an event called media day. Owens gave out the most talked-about quote of the week. "I can honestly say that God has already cleared me," Owens said in response to the question of whether he was going to play. "It won't matter what a doctor says. I've got the best doctor of all, and that's God." With a quote like that, Owens gave a freebie to the media. He planted the seed the media will nourish with endless opinion articles on Owens and his distinct quotes. And for this, the media should be thanking Owens because the Super Bowl has turned into such a media circus that the winner of the game does not even seem to matter any more. By not conforming to what society has come to expect from a professional athlete, Owens creates a buzz with every quote. It is not clear if Owens is doing this completely on purpose, but he seems to be embracing it. "I think I'm a special individual," Owens said at last Tuesday's media day. "What I do on the field causes a lot of people to criticize me. A lot of people say I'm controversial â€” and they may be right, but I am who I am, and I'm not going to change. God laid this plan for me. He has a plan for everybody, and obviously it was in his plan for me to be controversial, and I accept that." Just last year, Owens did not appear comfortable with the attention his actions garnered. "Guys are beating their wives, getting DUIs and doing drugs, and I get national attention for a Sharpie?" Owens said in the Dec. 9, 2003, issue of ESPN The Magazine, in reference to the infamous post-touchdown celebration in which he pulled a Sharpie out of his sock and autographed the football he had just caught. Owens has his share of diversions. His celebratory tactics may lack a certain amount of sportsmanship expected from a professional athlete. Standing on the Dallas Cowboys' midfield star, during a game on Sept. 24, 2000, with his arms raised in triumph was not met with much glee from the Cowboy, players. And often times he comes off arrogant, saying this an ESPN the Magazine article: "I'm stubborn. Jerry (Rice, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver) talked to me about how to talk to the media, how to play the game, but I'm not interested. I'm going to have my fun. And if I get attacked, I'm going to put my armor on and my shield up." All of these examples point to someone who does not respect the game and the others who play it. But on the flip side, these actions bear no weight on whether this man is of good character. Audiences of the media should not read too much into the strange actions Owens partakes in on the field and what he says to reporters. To be constantly under the spotlight and for nothing controversial to come from his private life, Owens has shown he is not trying to harm anyone â€” he just wants to entertain. , By maintaining his originality, he has created an engaging gridiron soap opera that should be met with applause. ^ _ _ _ ^ t ^ P ^ B i ^ S H ^ ^ ^ ^ S ^i llplfl^^ DOWNTOWN JOHNNY'S 4'PM\p over with ID BfiSt UgMS S0lHld| HAPPY HOUR Every Night $2*Â° Wells $ZS0 Micro Pounders $600 Micro Pitchers All Night Mou Tues.

You can go for miles and miles. It's very liberating," she said. "Women shouldn't be intimidated â€” there are lots of opportunities for success." , Ruskell is not the only person who has seen success. According to 2004's team statistics, Western junior Dylan Potter placed first in last year's Battle for Seattle in his first year racing for the men's crosscountry beginner category. This year, Potter said he will race his mountain bike in the cross-country sport category with hopes of upgrading to expert by the end of the season. He said he will ride for both the mountain and road teams. In a sport that is fiercely competitive, Potter offers spirited insight. ."We're not really competitive with each other; we are very supportive towards each other," he said. "You really want to work with your team instead of against them. It's more of a team sport than people realize." Last month, the team held a 24-hour fundraiser. Western cyclists took turns riding throughout campus for an hour at a time from 5:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. The team raised more than $1,400 to help offset racing costs. This event was just one of several the team managers have planned for the season. In April, Western will be be the host of all schools in the Northwest Collegiate Cycling . Conference for a mid-series weekend. The conference includes a team time trail and a rqadrace. . Additionally, the team is organizing a mountain bike festival outside Maple Falls. The event, takes place in either late September or early October and includes both downhill and cross-country races. AMANDA WOOLLEY/The Western Front The Western cycling team heads toward the Mount Baker Highway on its 70-mile training trip last Saturday morning. to get out there in the first place." In addition to simply getting people enthusiastic about riding a bike, the team maintains a,tightly formed group of racers who dedicate many hours to preparing for competition. Rickerts and Plude said the mountain team begins racing at the end of March and finishes at the end of September. The road team begins racing next month and closes the season with the championships in May. Both teams train nearly all year, beginning in November and continuing throughout the end of the season. Rickerts and Plude both said the team is in its third year of existence and is organized into a road squad and a mountain squad, with 25 mountain riders and 38 road riders, all of varying abilities. Versatility is one of sport's best characteristics as the team boasts riders Who race professionally as well as those who are just beginning. As the only woman road rider last year, Western sophomore Autumn Ruskell knows what it takes to be a dedicated athlete. "It was hard to train on my own," Ruskell said. "It's frustrating when you can't keep up at first, but I didn't want to give up." Giving up isn't in Ruskell's nature, said Rickerts, who gave Ruskell the nickname "Iron Will" for the. determination she displays while racing. Ruskell said she trains 10 to 15 hours per week, with approximately five to six of those hours being spent on the hike. She said she also lifts weights, runs and snowboards to keep in shape for the upcoming season.

Bush was right to decide to limit funding for agricultural subsidies in his new budget. President Bush said he will enact a cap of $250*000 on subsidies per business and will decrease the total amount of subsidies by $5.74 billion over the next ten years, according to a Feb. 7 Wall Street Journal.article. The current cap is $360,000 per business, according to the article. Limiting farming subsidies will help level the playing field for small farmers both here and abroad. What was designed as a mechanism to protect struggling family farmers during seasonal fluctuations is how being hoarded by large agri-business: According to the. 2002 census of agriculture, 33 percent of the country's farms are receiving government payments. Of those 33 percent, the top 10 percent receive more than 75 percent of government payments, according to a study by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that uses data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For example, Riceland, the world's largest miller and marketer of rice, received the most subsidies in 2003, totaling $68,942,419, according to a 2003 group study. In Washington state, only 20 percent of farmers receive aid, which totalled $263,950,168. In Whatcom County dairy farms such as Giliam Dairy and Parish Z Dairy in Lynden â€” along with several others â€” received more than $30,000 each in dairy subsidies in 2003. Subsidies distort market prices by encouraging over-production, causing prices to fall if the surplus is not disposed of. Farmers often deal with this by exporting the goods at low rates to other countries â€” making it difficult for farmers in those countries to compete. This is a problem because more than half of the world's poorest people depend onJfarmuig;tq.inake,a-Uving, according to a September 2002 smdy by the Catiiolic Agency for Overseas Development. In Jamaica, for example, milk production has annually dropped by one third since 1995 because it is cheaper for residents to buy highly subsidized European milk powder, according to the study. But small farmers are not the only ones who are hurt by subsidies. According to the group, American taxpayers spent $131 billion on federal farm programs^etweeri I995^and 2003. Those tax dollars could have been better spent on soldiers in Iraq as well as other programs. Subsidies can be a good thing if they are used correctly. They can offer disaster relief to farms and provide funds when things are uncertain. But the current level of abuse has gone too far. And while getting rid of subsidies entirely is politically infeasible because of the influence on Congress by special interest groups, putting a cap on subsidies is, at least, a step in the right direction.

Hand-held cell phones add to the number of distractions drivers face on the road, and they increase the likelihood of causing an accident. Because of, this, the Washington State Legislature should opt to permanently ban them from motor^vehicles. ? - According to a Jan, 18 KING 5 News report, motorists caused approximately 700 accidents while using cell phones last year in Washington state. Numerous studies from insurance companies and transportation authorities also continue to prove that cell-phone use increases the probability of a car accident. University of Toronto researchers discovered in 1997 that drivers using cell phones were four to five times more likely to cause car accidents than non-phone.users, according to an article on State Farm Insurance's Web site. In addition, a study by the American Automobile Association showed that distracted drivers cause approximately 3 million crashes per year in the United States alone. State Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way is proposing the Washington State Legislature that would ban hand-held phones become a traffic offense. It would benefit all drivers if it passes. The law would-make it illegal for drivers to use hand-held phones while on the road, meaning they would either have to pay approximately $30 for a. hands-free device or risk a $100 ticket. Granted, this new law would not completely eliminate the distraction of the phone conversation itself, but it, would give the driver i^e use ^fiboth. =hahd^ ~wMch\w5iM "improve driving' jabifify In * addition, it would eliminate the awkward pinning: of the phone between a driver's neck and shoulder while he or she is driving and shifting gears, which is no easy task. Opponents of the law argue that purchasing a hands-free device is inconvenient. In addition, they say hands-free devices won't make the roads safer. Studies such as one in May 2003 by the AAA Foundation for" Traffic Safety have shown that see PHONES, page 16 Beer merger will harm American industry BRADLEY THAYER After homogenizing the music and television industries, America now is taking a step toward spoiling another industry affecting college studentsâ€”beer. Mplspn Brewery, Canada's oldest brewer, and Adolph Coors Co., the third-largest brewery in the United States, are looking to merge and form the world's fifth-largest brewing company, according to a Jan. 28 Associated Press article. The deal already has gone through the necessary formalities on both sides, according to the article. On Feb. 1, a Quebec Superior Court granted the approval of the merger, according a Feb. 2 Associated Press article. The merger is expected to finalize Feb. 9, according to the article. In the process of consolidating, it seems America rapidly is losing its sense of beer identity, Forbes writer Dan Ackman said in a July 23 commentary. This merger comes after Philip Morris merged Miller beer operations with SABMiller* a South African brewer, '-â€¢'â€¢' â€¢â€¢ in 2002, according to Ackman. The companies made it clear that Miller was. not losing control of its brewing assets at the time. However, the merger still was finalized and, in Ackman's opinion, another American brewery's identity was lost. The reason for the trend of mergers in the beer industry is because Americans are not drinking enough. The average American drinker annually fails to increase his or her intake, and thus the United States has fallen behind China in terms of worldwide beer market share, according to Euromonitor International, a research firm. In 1999, U.S. drinkers ranked 'In the process of consolidating, it seems America is ---------- Western Front 2005 February 08 - Page 15 ---------- FEBRUARY 8,2005 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 So long to FCC chair Michael Powell, media mergers JOHN NEWMON Michael Powell, the Federal Communications Commission chairman, announced Jan. 21 he was resigning. Good riddance to a four-year term that has been fraught with media mergers, deregulation and marginalization of public interest. As chairman of one the government's most important regulatory bodies and son of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Powell became an advocate for big business. He's also involved in one of most absurd moments in television history. Powell's hypocritical and paradoxical nature was apparent when the infamous Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl brought horror and controversy throughout the nation. At the time, Powell wasted no time in laying down the FCC law on decency with government regulation. He also penalized Howard Stern, who accused Powell of using the FCC to stifle free speech on radio and television. Fines for indecent programming exceeded $7.7 million last year, a large increase from the $48,000 imposed before Powell became chairman in 2001, according to a Jan 21 article on MSNBC.com But while Powell has praised the imposition of these fines as _______ wielding a sword to protect children, he has failed miserably to protect the rest of the nation from corporate consolidation. Powell's blatant disregard for public interest is almost as transparent as his relaxation on media ownership regulations. Because. of Powell's â€” loosening media ownership rules, many news outlets are now under cross-ownership by multi-national media corporations. Fox Television, for example, owns two Chicago stations, WPWR and WFLD â€” something previously not allowed under FCC regulationâ€” according to a May 11, 2003 report by The Chicago Tribune. In addition, Viacom, which owns Paramount Studios, MTV and CBS, owns Seattle's KSTW and also KIRO as a CBS affiliate, according to its Web site. In Bellingham, radio stations KISM, KAFE, KGMI and KPUG all are owned by Cascade Radio Group. These are examples of the deregulation's effect on the media under Powell's reign. And, coincidentally, Viacom's MTV - produced the Super Bowl's scandalous halftime show on CBS. Though major media companies defend the loosening of regulations to promote their growth and competition, the problem is that deregulation gives these companies too much control over what people see, hear and read. Deregulation also marginalizes dissenting viewpoints and increases bland programming. An example of this is Clear Channel Communications. This Texas-based media monster owns more than 1,200 radio stations and 37 television stations, with 103 million listeners in the United States alone, according to a Nov. 5,2004 Chicago 'Powell's blatant disregard for public interest is almost as transparent as his relaxation on media ownership regulations.' Tribune article. Also, through its own SFX Entertainment, Clear Channel is the nation's dominant concert-venue and touring promoter, according to a Jan. 28 article on Salon.com, an online news magazine. Consequently, Clear Channel effectively controls the rock-music market. This leaves little for entrepreneurs and small, independent businesses to succeed, let alone survive, on. The Bush administration constantly preaches the value of small business, yet it allows these small businesses to be edged out by giant conglomerates. Two people are being mentioned as possible successors to Michael Powell. Kevin Martin, a Republican FCC commissioner who also was a White House aide, and Becky A. Klein, former chairwoman of the Texas Public Utility Commission. Though Martin and Klein came from right-wing beginnings, they have both taken a non-partisan approach to regulation. In the future, the Bush administration also should try to take a non-partisan view on how information and entertainment is owned and operated. But whether it will do so remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, however, these advances have paved the way for insurance companies to use that information in cost-benefit analysis of clients. To prevent the civil injustice and invasion of privacy, all 50 states should not waste time in enacting legislation that would prohibit insurance companies from doing so. With genetic testing, a person's genes are analyzed for mutations. Results help clients and their family members make informed decisions about options for early detection and risk reduction of inheritable diseases, according to the Myriad Genetic Testing Web site. While the advantages of these tests could be huge, they pose a danger to individual privacy, as insurance companies could potentially use this information to discriminate against customers who have higher susceptibilities to diseases by raising their premiums or not offering insurance at all, according to a Feb. 2 Associated Press article. Washington State Senate Bill 5452 would prohibit life-insurance companies from requiring people to submit genetic information to obtain coverage. This would likely prevent insurance companies from using private information to determine rates or completely deny coverage based on the presence of certain genes, according the Associated Press article. If the bill does not pass, many people could be forced to pay overly expensive insurance rates â€” or worse, receive no coverage at all because of their predisposition to illnesses they do not have and may never get. Only 18 states, including Washington, Oregon and California, have placed limitations on the use of genetic information for life, disability or long- term care insurance coverage, according to the article. If the Washington State Legislature does not ban insurance companies from using such information, people may hesitate to take genetic tests out of fear that their information will be used against them. Individuals should have the privacy to take advantage of genetic testing without worrying about their insurance rates sky-rocketing. Insurance companies argue genetic information will allow them to improve underwriting, which could lead to more affordable insurance, according to the article. In addition, they also stress that if the State Senate bill prohibiting genetic testing were to pass, then insurance rates would go up for everyone. But while it may be true that some people's rates will go down, the change will likely only benefit those with impeccable genes. In addition, the individuals whose genes do show signs of inheritable disorders could be punished. The presence of mutated genes only suggests that a person has a predisposition to a disease and it does not guarantee that he or she will get it, according to the article. The fact that insurance companies would charge a person more based on his or her genetic information based on bottom-lined interests is simply unethical. Genetic testing can benefit society greatly. If insurance companies, however, are allowed access to genetic information, this advancement in medical technology could be used to hurt people rather than to help them. Phones: Ban would be step in right direction CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 hands-free cell phones are just as distracting as hand-held ones. The study found that the distraction caused by cell-phones isn't the physical phone but rather the conversation itself, according to the foundation's Web site. Until drivers eliminate all distractions from the car â€” such as the radio, children, makeup, food and whatever else â€” the roads will never be 100 percent safe. Banning hand-held phones is a step in the right direction. A hands-free device is cheap â€” especially when compared with the cost of a injuries sustained in potential accident or maybe just the cost of a $100 ticket. Several states already have banned the use of hand-held phones, and 17 other states require police to collect cell-phone information to compare the time of the accident with times of phone conversations, according to the KING 5 broadcast. In addition, the proposed law only bans the use of hand-held cell phones, not the hands-free ones-â€” which are a relatively easy change for drivers to make. Purchasing a hands-free device most likely will save thousands of dollars in vehicle damages in addition to possible medical costs from injuries. Residents of Washington State should take a step back and look at the options. Spending $30 for a hands-free device really isn't worth all of the debate â€” especially when it could improve personal safety and the safety of others on the road. Beer: American jobs, identities will be lost CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 within three years of the merger essentially by cutting operating costs, according to a Feb. 6 Denver Post article. Coors spokeswoman Laura Sankey said the move would reduce many corporate functions two to one, according to the Post. Clarification: The number of jobs will be cut in half. The merger between Molson and Coors has been challenged by Ian Molson, Molson's former deputy chairman, who is feuding with his distant cousin, Eric Molson, the current chairman, according to a Jan. 12 Rocky Mountain News article. On the other hand, Coors' chairman Peter Coors interrupted his campaign for the U.S. Senate in Colorado to confirm his delight with the transaction, according to the Forbes article. Coors is correctâ€”this transaction will go down in history. But at this point it appears more like a move of desperation. American brewers are struggling in the international market while sales at home have stagnated. Not to blame Coors for trying to remain afloat in the international market, because in America today it certainly is all about the green. But too much is being sacrificed for more money. This bottom-line theme is a prevalent one in American society it seems. If this is true, maybe Americans need to re-evaluate their priorities. Jobs, a sense of identity and a high- quality, purely American brew all are things simply too valuable to give up in the name of greed. PPPPP

Knowles The administration backed up its policy against cheating this week by suspendingfour: students from the "hallowed" halls of Western. For five dollars apiece last week two students in theGeneral Ed. 102 class bought the services of two professional test takers; included in the bargain was aone-way ticket ovit of Western for the entire foursome. - In an age of specialization the professional-test-taker appears at Western with a lucrative business that requires only knowledge, guts, a lack ofcommon sense, and the philosophy that a buck is a reason and incentive for anything. The onlybenefits to be gained are a passing grade, no understanding of the course, and the advantage of nothaving to lift an IBM pencil. The only risk involved in buying a grade is suspension. It seems that theexpert test takers were not too well equipped, for on attempting to hand in the finished tests, they were recognized by the lab instructors. The lab instructors and professors knew these people didn't belong,especially when the expert test takers tried to run out the door with the tests after they were caught. Afifth party member also fits into the picture somewhere. He turned in his test with no name on itr Headmitted he wasn't registered in the general education course and said: "I was just taking the test forfun." Fun or fundâ€”his excuse held and he didn't get the boot. The administration's policy in regards tocheating is simple and quite pointed: ANY FLAGRANT CHEATING ANYTIME ON EXAMINATIONSEQUALS IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION, IF NOT SOONER!!

"One Summer of Happiness," the final film of thisquarter's foreign film series, will be shown tonight at 7:30 in the Auditorium.

The story is a portrait of two young lovers fighting against rigid social conventions.

' Only 40 Students Show AS Candidates Give Platforms By DennyFreeburn The presentation of Associated Student Body candidates who will run for various positions inthe up-coming election on March 5, was held last Monday before a scant crowd of some 40 students* Itshould be of some concern to our student body that out of over 3500 students enrolled this quarter atWestern, only 40 could take a little time out to see and meet the candidates who will be representingthem in the future. Mike Boring, candidate for the office of program council vice-president, stressed that ifelected he would encourage more students to participate in student government. "I believe the studentsshould have a voice in the selection of the movies purchased and this would be undertaken by voting ofsome kind," added Boring. In the hotly contested race for the executive vice-president position, twocandidates are seeking the office, Dave Forbes and Terry! Gallagher. "If elected, I would strongly push fora student-faculty diÂ» gt; ciplinary board here at Western," said Forbes. "WWSC is the only collegewhich at the present time does not have a board of this type set up," added Forbes. "As an example oflegislation I would support, I would extend the quality of the freshman orientation program," commentedTerry Gallagher, a former Seattle Pacific College student. Neil Murray, who is running unopposed for theoffice of president, said that he would provide a more informed student body a*1 to the issues in theLegislature. There are four positions open in the Legislature and there are' a total of seven candidatesvying for the spots. The following are candidates for the election on Monday: Terry Cooney, KeithHutchings, Charles Klein, Al Morse, David Mousel, Ralph Muro and Terry Thomas. Mike Hyatt, thepresent ASB president, said that it is hoped that there will be an exceptionally large turnout tot theelection. The use of electric balloting machines is hoped to make the election better all around.

"Everyman" is a late-Medieval early-Renaissance morality play. As DirectorRobert Waldo describes it, it is a "Medieval morality done with a Renaissance attitude." Waldo is doingthe play entirely in the period, which is early 16th Century. "We are staging it as it might have beenpresented by a group of strolling players in the street of an old English town," he said. Of the 17-member cast, 16 are allegorical figures, the one exception being Everyman, as portrayed by John Stout. The play opens with Everyman still living. When death comes "through God, Everyman seeks the help ofFellowship, of Goods, of Knowledge, of Beauty, and of Strength, finding them all to be false friends. He eventually discovers that Good Deeds is the only one that will accompany him to his grave.Enhancing the period costumes and staging will be authentic Renaissance music played by a 10-pieceorchestra. Musical research and arranging have been done by Thomas- Osborne, instructor in theMusic Department. The orchestra will do several songs written by Henry VIII of England. The play is being done in conjunction with the convention of the Northwest Renaissance Society, which will beheld on Western's campus March 8.

Western's famous Red Shirts gathered on the Campus Schoolplayfield last Wednesday and went directly to their task. What task? Piano smashing, what else? Thisthrilling new sport was introduced in England and has recently caught the fancy of college studentsthroughout this country. Western's derby heroes were out to break the record recently established bythe varsity swingers at Wayne State University. The Wayne Staters flattened a piano in four minutes and fifty-one seconds. Here are a few of the rules of this smashing new sport: 1. Teams consist of sixmen or more. 2. Only hand tools allowed, no power tools. 3. All pieces of battered piano are to beshoved through a hoop no larger than nine inches in diameter. 4. The official time will be kept. 5.Instructions to contestants will be referred by official starter. The, Bachelor's Club carefully selectedtheir muscle men to represent the club in their assault of the coveted record. Big Dave Jackson andCraig McGowen handled the axes for the team. The squad's three little men handled the sledgehammers. They were Ray Divier, Dave Alfred and Gordy Martin. Ron Burton rounded out the teamand handled the broom chores. The piano used in this exhibition of brawn was donated by the owners of the ill-fated Up and Up Tavern. Now there are only fragmented remains of this instrument fromthis man's hangout. Did we beat the record? Yessir, they smashed that piano to the ground in theunbelievable time of four minutes and forty-six seconds. Our men in the red shirts have once againcarried the banner of Western to fame.

Taylor, speaking before a sparselypopulated auditorium last week, exposed the petty mediocrity in today's education and pointed out thatthe useless memoranda faculty and students imbue themselves with today has negated us toknowledge for the sake of knowledge. â€¢ * * â€¢'At the earliest levels we call this imposing of abureaucratic system 'the search for the gifted.' We give external rewards for those that play by thesystem," Taylor said. "Grade school children are snatched out of school at the first sign of anyintelligence and put into a program that will get them into Massachusetts- Institute of Technology at the age of 15. These children certainly do not become intellectually well rounded adults."

"They mustpublish all sorts of fashionable books, be seen at professional conferences, their graduate studiesshould be completed under famous people, and they should always remember that one should neverteach unless he can't avoid it."- Dr. Taylor felt that the atmosphere of mass production has evenrelegated itself to the So-cratic art of teaching. "We have become so concerned with science andnuclear, development that we are trying to mass produce teachers," he said. "A commitment tobecoming a teacher is a commitment that we do not realize today. The teacher must be taught in amood-atmosphere that constantly requires him to defend and practice the knowledge he receives."Our duty is to involve the student so deeply into learning that the emotional areas merging withthought are equally stimulated.

"I cheated in an exam." V "Oh . . ." Four of your ex-fellow students are facing thisproblem now. Just how do Â£ou explain to someone that you got the boot from Western for cheating in$. general education test? The Student-Faculty Committee on Dishonesty has tried its first major caseand has backed up its promise to oust any offenders caught cribbing. At this point we should all cringebefore the almighty power of the committee system. As students we must always remember that the administration, especially such boards as the Honesty Board and the Disciplinary Board areALWAYS BIGHT! But most important these boards are serving an important function here at Western.They are helping to decrease enrollment and take some of the pres-bigger or better Along with finals,piano smashes and the like, March brings AS elections and the fabled claims of ^student apathy. GaryGerhard, AS vice president, has registered his plea that students are hibernating instead of participatingin school functions. The Collegian is overjoyed to see the old solution to the problem of apathy that isbeing drug out of the eternal AS closet. Everyone is asked to please observe "Let's ask the studentswhat is wrong with programming. Let's find out what they really want to be available next quarter." We were led to believe that our student leaders are sent to several different leadership conferencesduring the year, paid for from student fees. These "valuable" confabs are aimed at introducing studentleaders to problems in student programming, and offering solutions to these problems. Yet our ASgovernors seem to be stunned at this "new" problem. Western students proved to the Program Council last week that the Four Freshmen had finally grown too old for college last week, as their poorattendance put the program $500 in the hole. sures off classroom and dorm space. Between these twoinfallible guardians of right (the Honesty Board suspends them for cheating and the DisciplinaryBoard suspends them for drinking) a total of 12 students have said goodbye to Western in the last twoweeks. These figures may not be complete, the tally was only kept up until press time. Western's"wish book," The Navigator, states that "sustaining a situation in which the vast majority of studentsare protected from those who are dishonest is a joint administration-faculty-student responsibility." Itall sounds very nice and every step should be taken to solve the problem of cheating on campus, but why wait until the crime is committed before these "preventive" steps are taken. If the Honesty Committeeand Disciplinary Committee worked as hard at trying to solve the problems before they start as theydo at competing with each other to kick students out, then maybe (to their probable surprise) they might just solve the problem. â€” Richard F. Simmons. We think it is time for a new plan of action. We should observe "Let's vote for people who know how to plan and can recognize the pitfalls of programming inthe red" week, when AS election time arrives March 5. Students perpetually express two reasonsfor not participating in important AS activities concerning their social and sports spirit. They either have to study, or they don't have the money necessitated by many activities. Students have so much glitter in their eyes that they fail to realize the real academic benefits that can be attained by attendinglectures by Dr. Harold Taylor and a fine Concert-Lecture series. Someone should remember that ASgovernment was designed to serve the student; the student was not designed to serve it. We think these are valid reasons for the student apathy. This cry of alarm has been sounded a thousand too manytimes. Instead we cry ACADEMIC! Let us hope that the unopposed candidate for program vicepresident does synonymize "bigger" with "better" as is the habit with all junior social climbers.â€” Noel V. Bourasaw. Bv Dick Simmons The Bachelor's Club claimed a new world's record inlpe piano smashthis weekâ€”but they cheated. There were two dustpans full of chips after they were through. This strikesme as being a flagrant violation of the honesty policy here at Western, and we feel that the student-faculty commission on cheating should take immediate steps to see that |he entire Bachelor's Club issuspended from schoolâ€”after all we must fill our quotas. This brings to mind a similar traditioninstituted' here at Western in the fall of 1939. Seymore Finster, father of Mervin Finster, cousin ofFelmore -Fuitge, intrepid Western sewer heater, started a 50-mile hike -tradition. Finster challenged thefaculty to a hike from the knoll of the Bird Sanctuary all the way out to "Finsters Landing" near Blaine,Washington. Finster had planned to lead the faculty out onto the battered old dock at the historic pointwhere captain Garfno Finster landed; in 1563. Seymore was going to set fire to the dock and; do awaywith the entire faculty but Assistant to the President Herman Glib got wind of the Finster plan andsquelched it before it got on the road.

The club was prompted to issue this challenge bythe recent 50-mile hike craze. However, there are certain distinct advantages in having a 50-milepromenade. First and foremost, all action will take place in the warmth of the Viking Union Lounge. Thesecond advantage is the necessity of the promenade being a co-educational "affair." Another advantageis the variety of steps used (this way you can have little blisters all over your feet rather than justseveral big ugly blisters). FOLK AND SQUARE DANCE CLUB.

The Western ruggers have used this combination to carry them to five straight victoriesthis season.- The Viks have been matched up with the big schools in West Coast Rugby participation,and the Big Blue have yet to fall to any of their rugged foes. Western has rolled up substantial scores in all of their rugby contests and have held their opponents to only three goals in their five outings. * â€¢â€¢ The rugby squad is coached by Ray Moreland, a graduate stu- I was about six-years-old," headded. â€¢ * * The Western Ruggers are doing a superb job this season under the direction of RayMore-land. "We are the smallest team on the coast, but we have the spirit that it takes to win, and that's the thing that really counts," said Moreland." The team is able to make the proper adjustments to keep the winning combination going, and this is what it takes to do well at this sport," he continued. Anyfan who has watched the the try, and it is worth two points if it goes between the uprights of the goalposts. A team can also score on a penalty kick, which is awarded for a rule infringement. This kick is worth three points if successful. â€¢ â€¢ * Rugby is frowned upon in many institutions because of thebelief that the sport is too rough and there are too many injuries. Actually, the injuries come only when,the game isn't played properly. This interesting sport has been, given a chance to really develop atWestern this year, and the dent at Western and a veteran of 30 years of rugby experience. Moreland, anative of New Zealand, has worked hard with the Viking ruggers this season and the result iscombination that has not been defeated this year. Coach Moreland, a friendly, soft-spoken chap, hasbeen involved in rugby play since his childhood days in his native country. Rugby is the national sport of New Zealand, and More-land is enthusiastically bringing the sport into its own here at Western. "InNew Zealand when you drop your rattle they hand you a rugby ball to kick around, that's how early theystart to train you at the sport," Moreland commented. "I started playing rugby in league competitionwhen scrappy Western ruggers in ac- Ii's something like rounders. tion would agree that this team hasthe desire to win and they are willing to pay the price of victory. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ The game consists of two40- minute halves with no timeouts or substitions. The action is fast, and the ball changes hands freely.There is no set offensive or defensive portions of the game. Both teams have to be alert on everymaneuver as they try to cross each other's goal line. The combination of defense and offense is usedto get the score. There are three ways in which a score can be made. When any player carries the ballover the opponent's goal line and touches it down it is called a try and his team is given three points.

Har-ing the "machine" and joining the coalition was that he was "elected by the people and wanted to serveall," and that service had been limited to the interests.

Representative King, on the other hand, said that there "willundoubtedly be some additions to the request and it is very likely that Western will receive more thana proportionate increase when compared to the other colleges and universities in the state. All in all, this is going to be a tough year for any appropriations, but we will do our best to see that the increasesand improvements taking place the past few years in Washington State's educational institutionscontinue."

Traditional Events for Round-Up Haydown Mixer Friday Night "Homecoming Haydown" is the name being given to the mixer next Friday evening in theformer junior high gym. Because the mixer will follow the Homecoming skits assembly, dancing willnot start until 10:15 ending at about 12:15. The high moment of the dance will come when Queen SigridXIII presents prizes to the best "western-dressed" cowpokes present, chosen by faculty judges. Plansfor decoration of the gym will follow the "Western" Homecoming theme, and are under the supervisionof those two wild desperados Chuck "Cayuse" Keaton and Glen "Two Fingers" Riden-hour.Homecoming Skits To Be Reheorsed All houses and clubs planning to enter in the skit assemblyFriday night, November 3, are reminded that on October 30 at 7:30 in the auditorium will be the firstrehearsals of Homecoming skits.

For those who survive the eliminationsthere will be a full dress rehearsal November 1, at 7:30 in the auditorium. All scripts requiring certaincues or special light effects must be turned in before the rehearsal dates so that the members of thestage crew can make suitable arrangements.

Theme 'Great Outdoors' for Queen's Ba Decorations for the Homecoming Queen's ball at the armory November 4, are to follow the theme of the "great outdoors," according to the headforeman for this affair. Russ Nielson. Since the main corral of Western's ranch house is too small toaccommodate all those strays and regular ranch hands hereabouts, the whole shindig has been movedto an outdoors setting. The old armory will be given the atmophere of a moonlight night on the prairie and dancers will find themselves under a starry sky, shuffling amid sagebrush and trees. The occasion callsfor informal dress, suits and ties for the men and afternoon dresses for the women. Dancing willcontinue from nine until one, when the weary westerners will pack up their saddle, bags, and head forhome . . . ending Western's 1950 Homecoming.

It was applauded byfaculty members from every educational institution in the state. It was particularly applauded here,where one of Washington's first college safety councils was established last year. The governor'sprogram for safety observance was lucid in detail, simple and free from the verbosity of officialdom. Itasked the state's colleges and universities to sell the people of Washington on the wisdom of beingsafety-minded. At Western the program was naturally regarded in the light of its relationship to teachereducation. Starting anew this quarter, the local campaign for stressing the importance of a safety-conscious faculty and student body is conducted by an official board, the College Safety council. Thecouncil does not favor the idea of bally-hooing its program in the manner of a Hollywood press agent. Itfeels that in a training school for teachers every student should want to become safety-wise, should wantto learn how he can help in effecting a cautious, stop-look-and-listen citizenry. Composed of bothstudents and faculty members, the council will act this year to alleviate many hazards at Western.More fire drills will be called. Parking surveys will be continued. But the program must not be limited toWestern alone, the council emphasizes. Student teachers must carry safety ideals to the secondaryand elementary schools. Then, asserts the council, as graduate teachers they will undertake their life'swork as staunch crusaders for the ideal of a totally safety-wise state.

Contributors: Leo Delano, Eddie Hickenbottom.By EDDIE HICKENBOTTOM President, Associated Students An old proverb says, "You can pleasesome of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time/' For the benefitof those who have expressed displeasure at the procedure for Homecoming queen selection, I willattempt this week to enlighten them on the reasons behind this procedure. Many of you will recall thatat the last few elec-itions for queens there have been objections raised. For this reason, last year's ASBpresident created a contest committee to set up contest regulations. I retained this committee and puta competent person in charge. This committee met with another board member and myself to set up therequirements for queen selection. Part of this committee favored only juniors and iseniors being eligiblefor queen and part of the committee favored any girl in school being eligible. Each had logicalarguments supporting his position. Because of this extreme difference of opinion we arrived at acompromise which allowed a sophomore, junior or senior to be Homecoming queen. Some of the peoplewanted each class and club in school to nominate a queen. This in theory would create 25 nominees.We had no time for a primary election, and the number was too (great to allow each to be voted for in ageneral election. The compromise here was to have each class nominate four candidates.We'assumed that students as intelligent college people would nominate only those girls who wouldmake desirable queen candidates. The main idea behind the committee's thinking was to select aprocedure which would allow for as little griping as possible, which would attempt to please the majorityof the students, and which would be the simplest to set up on the ballot. I believe we arrived at all three of these requirements. One has: only to glance at all of the campaign posters to see that we have somevery excellent candidates for Queen Sigrid XIII. I hope we haven't tromped on any toes. May the best girlwin! AT OTHER COLLEGES Campus Cuff mates New Style A new fad has hit the University ofNebraska campus. Instead of being pinmates it is strictly the latest thing in love affairs ror a couple tobe "cuffmates." To become "cuffed" the only thing a fellow needs to have is a pair of dime-store policehandcuffs which he and his girl may sport together. * * * At the University of North Carolina the dancecommittee ruled that any girl leaving a campus dance intending to return must be escorted by achaperone during her entire stay from the dance hall. Little Man On Campus by Bibler SMILE WITH BILE Tremendous Tall Tale Told on Glama Girl, Ophelia O'Diferous ' By LEO DELANO As the deadline draws near this week, I find myself at a loss for fresh untainted humor. The most natural thing to do in thatcase is, as Johann Meely once said, "Go east, old boy." So last evening, I and one of my hard hit friendssallied forth to witness one of the greatest events since Gloria Swanson arched an eyebrow at the localcinema.' It was named "Atrocities of Manila" and it was just exactly that. People threw empty pop corncartons at the screen and grumbled. The house lights were turned up at the finis, and we fled up theaisle, hiding behind copies of the Collegian which the Press club had quite cleverly distributedthroughout the audience. CAUGHT LIKE A RATâ€”Prowling around In Western's corridors recentlywas "Uncle Joe Stalin," who is, quite truthfully, a rat. The boys of the maintenance staff caught the rodent and placed him on exhibition in the science department. â€”Photo by Ed Maples. It is said in the bettercircles that the Press club will produce a really luscious candidate for Homecoming queen. Her name isOphelia O'Dif-erous. At the tender age of 18 Ophelia left her home town in Oedipus, Kansas, to journeywest in the company of a band of Trotsky-ites, who later ate each other during a terrific blizzard atGonner pass. Being the sole survivor of this catastrophe, Ophelia wandered the countryside for twoweeks, living off sheep ticks and wolf-bane. She was finally discovered by two hatchet faced membersof the Carrie Nation society who enrolled her in the Sophia Stygma school for errant girls. After threeyears of liberal education in which she learned to tie her shoes, pare nails, bribe guards, contrive ashiv, bang tin platters, and short sheet her roommate, Ophelia received her degree. She then decided toattend WWC after having ridden with a group of microcephalic idiots who were driving north to see theHomecoming festivities. Ophelia is now a student teacher at the Campus school. She says that onecan easily hold the attention of fifth graders simply by threatening to loose a tarantula from withinone's Dicky blouse. OPHELIA FOR HOMECOMING QUEEN!

WWCollegian Page 3 Friday, October 27,1950 Board Meeting Covers Varied College Topics' President Eddie Hickenbottom called the Board ofControl meeting to order Wednesday afternoon when several important matters were brought before themembers. Laurence Brewster's withdrawal from the position of faculty adviser on the Homecomingcommittee necessitated consideration of another faculty member to fill the vacancy. Hickenbottomwas authorized to appoint a new adviser in consultation with Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women.William O'NeiL assistant registrar, accepted the office. The committee in charge of the new neon sign, which is to be erected on Highway 99, presented its problems to the board. Dave Grocott reportedthat two local firms had submitted bids on the sign but that the committee had n o t decided which onewould be accepted. The board discussed the possibility of having the sign ready for Homecoming next week, but members of the committee doubted t h a t it would be available. The Industrial Arts clubvolunteered to build a new cabinet with lock for the television set in the lounge if the board would okehthe expense for lumber. Gerald Sals-giver was appointed to supervise the construction of a relativelyinexpensive cabinet. Discussion concerning the "Klip- $un" took up the balance of the meeting. Editor Joyce Gillie was on hand to point out some of the problems encountered in publishing a collegeyearbook. Hal Kloes raised the issue that students were not in favor of the current system of having topay a -studio for the taking of individual pictures in addition to paying for the yearbook. Keith Stearnsquoted the results of a questionnaire sent out by the Klipsun staff showing that all five of the Northwestcolleges included in the survey used the same system as that adopted by Western. Mrs. Gillieanswered questions from the board members and after additional discussion the meeting wasadjourned.

The actual furniture will not arrive until after the newbuilding is opened sometime in March. _ Equipment for the fountain cannot be picked until thecontractors work out the architecture for the bar, although electrical appliances such as a waffle bakerand malt mixers have already been purchased. Student Teachers Coyer Large Area One hundred andseventy-five Western men and women are currently student teaching in county and city schools fromEverson to Burlington. This is the first time in the history of the college that students have coveredsuch a wide area in their student teaching. The new pattern of placing student teachers1 wasnecessitated by a ruling in the general certificate which requires teaching experience at both elementaryand secondary levels. synchronized perfectly with the ringing of the great Freedom Bell in Berlin. It rangfor five minutes in harmony with thousands of other bells in the community, the nation, and the world.Dedication of the Freedom Bell in Berlin by Gen. Lucius Clay marked the successful completion of theCrusade for Freedom campaign, during which millions of Americans pledged themselves "to resistaggression and tyranny wherever they appear on earthâ€”that this world, under God, shall have a newbirth of freedom." The bells rang again at 11 a. m. commemorating the fifth anniversary of the UnitedNations. At the close of the regular 10 o'clock assembly, George Dowd delivered a short address onthe United Nations, which was followed by the ringing of the bell and a minute of silent prayer for worldpeace. The bell which was used on campus was a historic railroad engine bell borrowed from thecollection of Lor en Wahl. It was rung by Ed Hickenbottom, president of the associated students. Inother UN day observances Tuesday, Bernard Regier of the college music department sang the UnitedNations song, "One World," at Bellingham high school, and Miss Nora Cummins spoke at the women's UN day observance Tuesday night at the Hotel Bellingham. DR. MCDONALD JOURNEYS TOBURLINGTON FOR COURSE Dr. David McDonald, of the education department, journeyed toBurilngton Monday, October 23, for an extension course. We Supported Them Long Enough!FOOTBALL AND ELLENS BURGâ€”One week ago the board of trustees of this school met to discusspolicies that would have to be enacted to permit the school to operate on the drastically cut budgetapportioned it by the last state legislature, At this meeting it was decided that at least one member of the faculty would have to be cut from each department of the school, At this meeting it was decided that atleast one member of the office staff and employees would have to be dropped. At the same time the feeswere cut to $10 from the $17 that we have been paying. Five dollars of this amount formerly went to thepayment of teachers' salaries, to make up the deficit left m our budget by the removal of the land grantmoney that rightfully belongs to it, but was taken away several years ago to relieve the financial situationat Ellensburg Normal school. Money which rightfully should come from the state legislature via the landgrants has been coming from the pockets of the students. Our registration fees each quarter would havebeen $12 instead of $17 as it has been in the past. If this misappropriation had not occurred it isprobable that we would be having football here next fall, as it does not seem possible that the board oftrustees would further reduce student fees from $12. However, since the students of the school have been paying inordinately high fees from the time of the legislative robbery to the present, the trusteesundoubtedly rightly saw fit to reduce fees to the lowest amount possible. . Our football team, then, is-sacrificed to keep up.the budget ot a school in the eastern part of the state. IS THIS FAIR? (Editor's note: The above editorial appeared in the April 7,1933 edition of the Northwest Viking, forerunner of theWWCollegian. Two Weeks later, the students voted to assess themselves an additional $2 per quarter in activity fees in order to retain intercoMegiate football. The board of trustees accepted the students'decision and within a month, chose a new football coach, a highly recommended All-Ameri-can guardfrom the University of Washington, Charles Lappenbusch. "Bellingham Normal" meets "EllensburgNormal" on the football field tomorrow night. WWC has a football team this year, thanks, in part, to thesacrifices of those 1933 depression students.) ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1950 October 27 - Page 4 ---------- Mural League Finishes Fourth Round By BOB SABIN Intramural activity went into the fourth roundTuesday with only four unbeaten basketball teams left in the three leagues and only one bowling t e ammaintaining a perfect record.

P a c i f ic Lutheran found that out l a st Saturday when theirHomecoming was jolted by the rambling Vikings to the tune of 47-0. It took the Westerners a littletime to get going (about five minutes) "before they scored their first touchdown, but once they gotrolling the only thing to stop them was the final gun. The line play of the Vikings was outstanding asPLC had a bigger line; yet, the Vikings held the Lutes to ONE yard net rushing. The big "D" team setup a few of the Western scores by recovering some Lutheran fumbles and intercepting most of theattempted passes by the Lutes. Bob C l i ne blocked two PLC punts that enabled the Vikings to driveover from deep inside Lute territory. GOOD BLOCKING HELPS Beautiful blocking by the Western line enabled Hash to score twice, while Schireman danced across for two TD's and passed another to TomTaylor. Chuck Hodder d i s-played a brilliant throwing arm in connecting to Jack McStott for the finaltally. Guards Al Compton and S l a ts Salsgiver along with quarterback Bob Feagan provided beautifuldownfield blocking for the Viks' running attack. Art Svidran constantly kept the Lutes in the hole withhis long kickoffs and punts. Lappy's straight-line d e f e n se proved its impregnability again as the ends, Bud Hood, Walt Ewing, Norm Richardson and Cline, kept the PLC running attack in t he middle. Thenthe Lutes met t he "beef" of the Western line, where Al Cornett and Bill Stendal smashed everyrunning attempt by the hosts. Swede Larson set up shop in the middle of the line and was backed byWestern's two line-backers, Tye Tiland and Jack Frazier, who were constantly the fifth and sixth menin the PLC backfield. A flurry of excitement occurred in front of the PLC bench when little RoyRichardson was roughed up by one of the Gladiators who tried to wrestle Roy to the ground. BrotherNorm rushed to the rescue and was met by the whole PLC bench, including coaches. From then on theVikings seemed to hit their stride as the outclassed and tired Lutheran team gave way to the hardplaying Westerners.

Norm Walker, halfback; Mick Naish,fullback; and Gene Briscoe, quarterback. On the whole, the condition of the Viings is excellent. Although Western ran up a lopsided score against PLC, the game was a hard fought contest, with vicioustackling on both sides. Al Cornet and Rufe Winters both received slight shoulder injuries, while AlShiremann dislocated a vertabrae. Although head coach Charles Lap-penbusch wouldn't venture topredict the final score this week, he anticipates that Central will pass the ball around quite a bit. Lappy also pointed out that Central beat CPS 7 to 0, by punting on first or second down, catching the Loggers off guard and holding them deep in their own territory for a great part of the game.

That's the way the boyswanted it this week, as there just wasn't any one of them who stood any taller than the others. Therewere 38 players that were outstanding Saturday. The big "D" team held the Lutherans to 1 (ONE) yard onthe ground, and the offense scored 47 points. With that to go on, no one man could be selected fromthe group as player of the week. This is the first time this year that such a vote has been the outcome,but the majority of the football team decided that there was no one outstanding player, and that the wholeteam was in on the complete spoiling of the PLC Homecoming. Hats off to ths^ whole team fromVildngville. By MORT GRONSETH 47 to 0â€”One ruined homecoming, 'nuf said. * * S: Th Vikings havescored 169 points this year, and held their opponents to 45 points. Those 169 points have come in sixgames, which makes an average of 28 points per gameâ€”the equivalent of four touchdowns andconversions for each game. Their opponents have been held to an average of just over one touchdown foreach game. Only one opponentâ€”CPSâ€” has crossed the Western goal line twice in one game thisyear. That is playing football as the game should be played. A quote from "The Ubyssey," the paper ofUBC, gives the Viks high praise for their exhibition of the "real .way to play football." "Their (still speaking of WWC) passing was of calibre unseen so far this season and seldom seen in past years while theirblocking left little to be desired." â€¢ ' * * * Imagine that there are quite a few asking the same question,but one I would like to have answered by the four' men in the striped shirts last week, is how Westerncan get 15 yards penalty, when we didn't really do anything, and PLC had at least three violations. Someof PCL's violations that I saw were: 1. More than 11 players on the field. 2. Coaches going on the fieldwithout permission. 3. Continuing to get a ball player down after the whistle had blown, and 4. Thebench getting within the five yard stripe that is supposed to be parallel to the sidelines. With at leastthese four violations against them, PLC still made 15 yards on the play, as the Viks were assessed for apersonal violation by the refs. Well anyway, fellows, we won the ball game.

This makes it easier for the visiting alumni whowould h a ve trouble packing long evening dresses. CORRECT CLOTHES IMPORTANT Now that theHomecoming garb has been gone over, how about the rest of the year?. There's been more than onequery recently as to correct dress at various college social affairs. AWS has issued a bulletin whichdefines the dances and tells what to wear with a few hints on etiquette included. At a tolo dance, the girlpays all expenses for the evening, except for the corsage which is left up to her escort and hispocketbook. Afternoon dresses minus corsages are proper at informals. The semi-formal, such as lastweek's Norsemen's Ball, means long dresses and tuxedos or business suits with white shirts. Tailsor tuxedos are in order at formal dances for the men, while the fairer sex may wear evening dresses,decollete if preferred. The above information has been approved by both Deans and is consideredstandard for all dances. o What's Sabu tiful about Homecoming queens?

Bengtson, Science department, and a studentresearch group from Western, have been studying a.northwest glacier the past two years to learn ofclimatic trends in this section of the country. There are two glaciers under study in the Northwest for this purpose: Coleman glacier on the north side of Mount Baker, and Nisqually glacier on M o u n t " " "~Service Announces Exams for Jobs With Government Rainier. Bengtson's findings show t h atColeman glacier advanced 80 feet down the mountain side in the past year. When the glacier wasmeasured last year with a surveyor's transit, readings were taken at the 4,800 and 6,100-foot levels,and bronze markers put into the Bedrock at the ice edge. In addition to the 80-foot advancement,the survey group found the glacier had increased an average of 35 feet in thickness at the 4,800-footlevel and 15 feet at the 6,100-foot level. It is also much more broken up, which indicates considerableactivity, Bengtson said. ICE AGE NOT IMMINENT Advancement of the glacier represents only a minor adustment to climate, not the coming of another ice age. The size of the glacier represents a summaryof the following climatic factors: total precipitation (a percentage of this falling in the form of snowand hail), total annual hours of sunshine and average temperature. The Nisqually, at last report, wasstill receding at a fairly rapid rate, as it has been doing for many years. Glaciers on Mount Baker,Bengtson says, contrary to popular conception, are not left over from the ice age. They are onlyproducts of climatic conditions. Coleman glacier may advance or recede, he added, but probably will n e v er completely disappear or become very much larger than now. When the last measurement wasmade by the college group, t he weather was below freezing and crashes of ice breaking up within theglacier could be heard as the ice moved. Jack McLaughlin, Bob Wakelam, and Bob Lyons assisted intaking this year's survey. It is planned that measurements be taken annually. Bengtson will report thestudy to the American Geophysical Union and to the U. S. Geological Survey. tyet 7-8-9-10 "Most ofour legislators h a ve reached the conclusion that you citizens who loudly proclaim your desire foreconomy are talking about only the kinds of economy that are practiced on the other fellowâ€”that youdon't want Congress to hold back on extravagant and unnecessary expenditures if they will profit yourcommunity." â€” Sen.

Of the 1250 questionaires circulated only 544 were returned.Of those returned 298 (55%) favored giving the Interclub Council power to approve national affiliations. Opposed to giving the ICC this power were 231 students (43%). Fifteen students (approximately 2%)did not express an opinion. On the second part of the questionnaire 284 (53%) felt that the poll wouldaccurately reflect student opinion while 171 persons (29%) felt it would not. Ninety-nine students did notexpress themselves either way. Those favoring national affiliations specified the followingqualifications: No s o c i a l fraternities should be permitted; there should be no racial nor religiousrestrictions on membership; membership should be based on high scholarship.^ Some of the reasonsfrom* those opposing were: Cliques might form and thus control membership; it would lead to socialfraternities. Some students considered the vote last spring conclusive and felt the subject should nothave been reopened. As yet no definite decision has been made as to whether WWC will affiliate withnational honorary organizations, according to Dr. Murray. AS GIFT TIME APPROACHES . . .

Smith THE WESTERN FRONT The proportion of money given to law enforcement to fight the war on drugs is too great when compared with money spent on treatment and prevention programs, local critics say. The current distribution of funds for the drug war, they say, fails to solve the problem of drug- related crimes. Decreasing the demand for drugs through treatment, they say, will stop the supply. A White House press release stated the U.S. government, in addition to individual state expenditures, will spend an estimated $18 billion in drug control. Critics of the war on drugs range from law enforcement officers and legislators to a group of Western students. The Bellingham Students for Sensible Drug Policy is one of about 70 national Students for Sensible Drug Policy groups whose main focus is fighting current drug policies. "1 think one of the big things we've See DRUGS, Page 4 Tourney tips off Western student attacked near dorm; police continue search By Jennifer L. Jennings THE WESTERN FRONT A Western student was startled but not injured when her ankle was grabbed by an unidentified person at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday while she was walking near the front balcony of the Omega residence hall. The student said the assailant was lying in ivy off the side of the path. She said the person was wearing dark clothing. The University Police were immediately notified of the incident, but no suspects have been found. The student could not tell police whether the person who grabbed her was female or male. "We do not have enough information to determine the assailant's intent," UP assistant chief Dave Doughty said. The student had been walking with a friend just before the incident occurred. Three UP officers and two Greencoats scoured the area for about a half an hour, but did not find the assailant or any clues. The investigation is continuing. "There are trees everywhere, and not a lot of paths are lit up on the Ridge," Omega residence adviser Travis Neuman said. "There are a lot of places to hide, and it makes it feel like an unsafe area in general." Vice President of Student Affairs Eileen Coughlin said active invbive-ment by all community members is important in today's society tÂ» ensure safety. The UP said no connection has been made between this assault and one that occurred last December, which also involved a woman who was attacked by an unidentified male while walking near the Ridgeway complex on a wooded hillside path. Resident advisers and police recommend walking in pairs, calling an escort or a Greencoat, becoming aware of emergency phones located on campus and carrying emergency defense whistles. "Some girls might feel like they're being a burden by calling on Greencoats, but it's their responsibility," Neuman said. "Ultimately, we need to be alert to where possible dangers are." Daniel J.

U.S. Small Business Administration said more than 800 businesses in the area have requested loan applications from the agency's disaster loan unit. The S.B.A. began distributing checks today to small and large businesses for loans of up to $1.5 million to help repair damage or make up for business lost during the disaster. Coast Guard doubts two missing men are alive GIG HARBOR â€” The Coast Guard unsuccessfully searched near Gig Harbor for two missing men Thursday. Infrared sensors continue to look for the 19 and 20-year-old men who were reported missing after taking a canoe out Wednesday in Henderson Bay. Investigators said they doubt the men are alive. A spokesman said an oar found on a beach at 2:30 a.m. Thursday does not provide reassurance. Spokesman Robert Lanier said King County and Coast Guard helicopters began the search at dawn. He said a friend reported the men missing early Thursday morning after they failed to return. They went out in a small canoe about 10 p.m. Wednesday. NATIONAL NEWS Classmates failed to report student's threats SANTEE, Calif. - Four classmates who didn't report a student's threats to shoot up their California high school have gbeen barred from school for the pest of the year. The four students all said they thought 15-year-old Andy Williams was joking. On Monday, Williams allegedly opened fire at Santana High School in suburban San Diego, killing two students and wounding 13 others. The district superintendent in Santee said it's not punishment for the four â€” but rather an issue of safety. Meanwhile, the school has resumed a normal class schedule, with plans for a public memorial service on Friday. School shooting victim gets out of hospital WILLIAMSPORT, Penn. - The 13-year-old girl shot Wednesday at a Pennsylvania school is out of the hospital. Kimberly Marchese was shot in the shoulder - allegedly by an eighth-grade classmate at their Catholic school in Williamsport. The alleged shooter â€” 14- year-old Elizabeth Catherine Bush - has waived her right to an immediate detention hearing. A court official said Bush will be kept in a juvenile detention center pending a psychological evaluation. - Bush's father said he knows of no bad blood between his daughter and the victim. Police said the two were.involved in a long-standing argument. Investigators, meanwhile, are still trying to sort out whether the shooter fired directly at Marchese. A witness said the bullet ricocheted off the floor and hit Marchese. But police said they have found no evidence of that. INTERNATIONAL NEWS English bet on hamsters LONDON - They'll apparently gamble on anything in Britain. Even hamster racing. A foot-and-mouth disease outbreak has forced some horse races and rugby matches to be called off. And that's led some gamblers to suffer from gambling withdrawals. So an Internet betting site, Blue Square, has been offering hamster races until traditional sporting events get back to normal. Blue Square has taken up to 350 bets per hamster race - compared to thousands for the average horse race. About 2,000 people have logged on to watch each race. The hamsters run in the middle 6f an exercise wheel, which propels a 10-inch dragster.

Vajda's research connects the Native American language family Athabaskan-Eyak- Tlingit spoken in Alaska, northern .Canada and a few other areas of North America to the northern Asian Yeniseian language family, of which Ket is the only surviving language. Vajda, a Western professor, spoke Thursday in a crowded lecture hall about his research on these language families and" the similarities he has found between them. Vajda said that Yeniseian- Dene is a new family of language. Vajda presented information and examples of similarities between syntax and word building patterns in these two language families. Although Vajda is not the first linguist to research these language families, he said he is the first to find evidence that they "originated from a common proto-language that was probably spoken somewhere in the eastern half of Inner Asia during the early Holocene Era." "There have been other linguists who have suggested there might be a relationship," Vajda said. "I'm the first person to offer real serious proof." He has taught in Western's modern language department since 1987. In 1998, he was the first American professor to visit the Tomsk State Pedagogical University, a Siberian languages laboratory, since before the Russian revolution in 1917. A U.S. Fulbright research grant allowed Vajda to visit the university. Vajda's interest in unusual languages led him to research the Yeniseian language family, he said. His knowledge of Russian allowed him access to study the former Soviet Union's other languages. Ket, which has only 400 native speakers, was the most interesting, he said. "No one could figure out what it's related to . . . it was the mystery language of north Asia," Vajda said. "I got drawn to that." Vajda had studied Native American languages before studying Ket, he said. At first, he didn't put their similarities together, he said. The connection is something he "only in the past few years has really intensely worked on." BENE AN ALL- NIGHT RAVE fill flhh 111VI11 HflW h Gonna be a late one?

Feeney, a Western senior, will graduate with a concentration in law and diversity from Fairhaven College. The BSSDP was founded last spring in response to the Higher Education Act of 1998, which prevents students with previous drug-related convictions from getting financial aid. It passed a reform resolution through the Associated Students Board of Directors, but has been unable to gain administrative or faculty support. Feeney felt the financial aid restrictions didn't give students incentive to not do drugs, but further prevented those who had been caught with drugs from changing their lives. "It's helping people perpetuate problems and keep them in their place," he said. The drug war's costs do not stop at taxpayer dollars for programs. Individuals charged with drug crimes face an increasingly complex sentencing are also paying large amounts in legal fees to avoid mandatory minimum sentences thatc cause many to suffer unjustly, as Dorothy Gaines, did until her sentence was commuted by President Bill Clinton recently. Whatcom County handles 500- 600 drug cases per year with a 90 percent conviction rate, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Craig Chambers said. Blaine City attorney David Nelson said he opts for fining defendants in drug cases. "If it's a first offense, I usually just try to take money instead of giving out jail time," he said. First-time offenders can pay a $600 fine or $500 and one day in jail. Nelson does not, however, believe jail time and fines are the only answers. "I .am a big fan of the idea that jail time is not always the answer," he said. 'Tm a big fan of treatment instead of jail time. "There should definitely be more treatment options offered to people who get caught for possession." Another local law enforcement official agrees with Nelson's view. Bellingham Police Lt. Dae Jamison said in a January interview that too much money in Bellingham is spent on enforcing drug laws as compared to treatment. "The Bellingham Police Department does not need a bazooka and tank to fight the war," Jamison said. "What we need are more treatment beds." The BPD employs four fult-time narcotics detectives. They cost about $250,000 per year in salaries, and it costs $30,000 per year to keep one person in jail, Jamison said. In contrast, treatment costs about $5,000 per year, Jamison said. fr ^ trybodsO Pretty Purses * Sturdy Wallets Bushnell Bird Glasses Scopes .. gt; ^ www.everybodys.com ^ f State lawmakers are being wooed by statistics such as these. Legislation was introduced this year to increase funding for treatment instead of enforcement. Four bills that would reduce penalties for drug-related crimes were introduced to the state legislature earlier this year. Among those bills is a propos- 'The Bellingham Police Department does not need a bazooka and tank to fight the war. What we need are more treatment beds.' Lt. Dae Jamison Bellingham Police Department al by King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng that, would essentially allot spending $2 for treatment for every $1 spent on law enforcement. House Bill 2003, modeled after Maleng's proposal, appropriates $2.4 million on grants and programs to treat addicted offenders. Maleng's proposal came soon after a California initiative passed last November that requires the state to spend $120 million a year to treat, not jail, people arrested for drug possession or violate their parole by drug use. The proposition's main opponents, however, included the state attorney general and many drug court judges. In a Los Angeles Times article, a drug court judge said the proposition wasn't tough enough on those who relapse. - Drug courts are in place across the United States - including Whatcom County â€” and allow incarcerated, drug-addicted individuals to clear a felony from their record. These individuals agree to treatment and counseling programs as well as enrollment in school or job placement. Those who fail to meet the often rigorous program requirements are sentenced to jail time that varies depending on the severity of the relapse. Usually, however, most people ATTENTION! 9, WED - JAZZ THUR - SAT LIVE MUSIC â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ a * * MONDAY TUESDAY $5.50 PITCHERS "ALLY0UCANEAT* BB0 RIBS, PORK CHICKEN $ 8 . 9 5 WEDNESDAY $2.991/3 LB.BUR6ER WITH HOMEMADE FRIES JOIN ANNAS BIRTHDAY CLUB!

" I ' think the drug court is incredibly effective in Whatcom County," Nelson said. Judge Michael Moynihan, who oversees the county drug court, said the program has a failure rate of about 10 percent. Nationally, the failure rate is about 70 percent. Failure is a person's inability to either stay out of legal trouble or stay sober, preventing his or her graduation from the program. One of the main obstacles of more treatment-based funding is the addict's propensity for relapse. What many people may not understand is that even though a person may relapse, sometimes repeatedly, they eventually can become sober, productive community members. Cheryl Whiteman, a chemical dependency specialist at Chambers Wells Counseling Inc. said in a February interview that relapse is a natural part of recovery. Ryan English, a Whatcom Community College student featured in our article, knew about the recovery process that includes relapse. After being arrested for forging checks, which he used to get money for drugs, English entered the county drug court program. He went through several treatment programs before finally being able to stay clean and sober. He had to change his entire lifestyle - his friends, living environment, activities - before he was able to achieve this. English graduated from Whatcom County Drug Court last year. A recent study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University estimates that states spent about 13 percent of their budgets to address substance abuse in 1998; the amount of that 13 percent equaled $81.3 billion. Three billion dollars of the $81.3 billion was used for prevention and treatment programs. "The public health system â€” drug treatment â€” wants more of the (funding) pie," Jamison said. "They should have it."

People qualify for the pageant if they live and work in Bellingham, attend a college in the county or if this is the closest pageant in which to participate. In November, Coury and the other contestants for Miss Whatcom County began attending weekly practices, where they worked with a committee who helped prepare them for the event. All the contestants realized whoever was crowned eventually would go to the Miss Washington Pageant, scheduled to take place in Tacoma this June. A win there would mean a trip to the Miss America Pageant. "That would be so amazing," Coury said about the possibility. The Miss Whatcom Pageant consisted of an interview, a talent show portion and swimsuit and evening wear competitions. Coury said her mock interview before the competition was one of her most embarrassing experiences. But she appealed to the judges the night of the pageant because her answers earned her a tie with second place runner-up and Western freshman Anna Jo Duginske. During the pageant, Coury was asked to comment on current events like the recent earthquake. She also gave her pro-choice opinion on abortion. "The interview is to make sure the girls can think on their feet; Miss America is swept off to a press conference after she leaves the stage," said Carol Starcher, Miss Whatcom County Pageant's executive director. 'Teople may also wonder why we have a swimsuit competition. The competition is meant to display physical fitness, as well as poise and confidence." As Miss Whatcom County, Coury will work closely with Starcher and her committee. Coury will represent the county by attending many community events like the children's festival in the summer. She also will welcome the Navy ships to Bellingham at the beginning of the annual Ski to Sea event. In addition, Coury will work closely with the American Cancer Society, attempting to spread the word about its fundraising, called Relay for Life. "It is inspiring for everyone there, especially for the ones dealing with cancer," Coury said about the 24- hour relay that has previously taken place at Civic Field. Coury's father discovered he had cancer in 1999, so she said she feels very close to the issue she will promote this year. One of her goals is to find people who are willing to get involved with the society. Community service opportunities were not the only reasons Coury decided to compete for the crown. The performance aspects of the pageant also attracted her. "I really like to dance and I really wanted to perform," Coury said.

Due to the implementation of a new computer system at Western, installed in July of 1999, reconciling and matching the two accounts took days, where normally it would take hours. The delays would show one account had cleared, while the other had not received the funds. As a result, the two accounts would be off by thousands of dollars on any given day. The audit raised the concern that "(Western) did not comply with state bid law requirements." 'The existing contractor would close up the walls only so a new contractor could open them up again.' Mary Carlson Western assistant vice president Old Main had seismic work done to the south wing, at a cost of $748,000, and when more funds became available in the budget, instead of having another contractor complete the new work, $419,269 dollars was put into the existing contract. Western saved the state $373,000 by changing the contract, but in changing the contract, the school violated state bid laws. State bid law RCW. 10.350 states that any contractual work on a public building, including a state university, must include plans and specifications, drawn up and put out for public bidding. Western gave the new contract to the builder already doing the work, and did not put the job out for bidding. Mary Carlson, assistant vice president for business financial affairs, said using the existing builder was the logical thing to do. "The existing contractor would close up the walls only so a new contractor could open them up again," she said. "We didn't see the sense in that." Western will not face penalties for the state's findings. Mindy Chambers, manager of the communications program for the State Auditor's Office, explained that the auditors report their findings, but take no further action. "We have not had any problems for three years, so when we have problems we must sort them out and go in-depth to find the answer," Carlson said. Western's internal auditor, Dr. Bahran Hatefi, said he will look at the state's findings and "do a much more elaborate search, looking into the problems; deeply to be sure that Western is meeting internal control requirements."

Boss pointed out that just like it's a violation From WOMEN, Page 1 humans are entitled to. "What became clear to me was that, just like I didn't know anything about human rights, the majority of the people in this country don't know anything about human rights," Ross said. "We think of a tortured prisoner. We don't think about how human rights are applicable right here at home." To teach Americans about human rights, she founded the National Center for Human Rights. In a poll she conducted in 1997, she found only 8 percent of American adults had heard of the 50-year-old Universal Declaration of Human Rights. "So I dedicated myself to teach Americans about human rights," Ross said. She listed five categories of human rights. These include civil rights, meaning the right to be treated equally; political rights, meaning the right to free speech and to vote; economic rights, meaning the right to an economy that benefits all; social rights, meaning the right to an adequate standard of living; and cultural rights, meaning the right to choose one's reli-of human rights to enforce English-only bills, it's a violation of human rights to ban abortions. 'Once we know what our human rights are, then we can stop being the divided and the conquered.' LorettaRoss Speaker and author "Once we know what our human rights are, then we can stop being the divided and the conquered," she said. She spoke of a social justice movement that, while founded on conimonality, at the same time doesn't take away people's differences. Ross said she doesn't see why there can't be a women's rights league within the human rights movement. She also talked about how she became a political activist. She said her activism began when she became pregnant at age 15 and authorities at her high school wanted to expel her. In the 1960s, it was customary to expel pregnant girls because the school district said having them in school would make pregnancy more acceptable, and cause other girls to get pregnant. "That pissed me off," she said. Tm convinced I cannot get another girl pregnant." Ross sued the school district and won, but she said she didn't know that what she was doing was a feminist act. "I just thought it was a bad thing to piss me off," she said. After high school, Ross became the first African-American to direct a rape crisis center, where she helped pave the way for black feminism. After working for the National Organization for Women in the 1980's, she worked in Atlanta, where she became the first female African-American expert on hate crimes and attended many Ku Klux Klan rallies. "I could never explain to my mother about going to Klan rallies," she said. America's legacy topic of women's panel By Allison Butler THE WESTERN FRONT When whites came to Hawaii, 150-200 million natives were killed by what Hawaiian native Haunani-Kay Trask called "American genocide." "Our political sovereignty was taken away," Trask said. The Americans banned the Hawaiian language, caused cultural destruction and forced annexation. Trask said 95 percent of t he nation and 99 percent of t he people's land, water and political sovereignty were taken away. America was involved in many human rights violations against Hawaiians, such as deprivation of land and waters and denial of their self-government, Trask said. "It's ironic because the U.S. claims that they won't trade with countries that have human rights violations," Trask said. Today, America and Hawaii have reconciled to some degree. In 1993, the U.S. Congress passed a law called the "Apology Bill." In the law, America admitted some of the things that they did in Hawaii were not right. "Apologies can never take the place of restitution," Trask said.

One positive thing is that the native Hawaiian language is once again being taught in schools. "It is a big success story," Trask said. "It almost makes me want to cry to think that my mother, who was a native speaker, was whipped for speaking in Hawaiian." Hawaii still faces many problems, particularly tourism-related pollution, Trask said. After Trask spoke, two other women discussed how Americans have affected their lives and their ancestors' lives. Juanita Jefferson spoke for the Lummi Tribe's 3,200 members in the local area. She said when whites came to Washington, her tribe was forced to sign treaties it did not understand. Today, the tribe still lives with some of those treaties and are trying to save the land, protect the water and Daniel J. Peters/ The Western Front Haunani-Kay Trask, an Oahu native says Hawaiians have had their land and culture stolen by American invaders. preserve our language, Jefferson said. She said they still have much work to do and constantly battle to protect national resources like fish and cedar. "Power of white privilege is so strong and we just ask those in the white privileged section to help," Jefferson said. Leah Hehry-Slaney from the Nez Perce tribe talked about what happened to her tribe when people began coming to America. She said things are better today, but many things still need to be done. "With today's Supreme Court, we are still in a humon-gous battle," Henry-Slaney said. The presentation and panel discussion were sponsored by Associated Students Presentations â€” Social Issues, the Ethnic Student Center, the Women's Center and other campus groups as part of Women of Color week.

Which one doesn't belong? Five plays; written, cast, rehearsed and performed, all within a 24-hour period. This may not seem likely, but it is the goal of Western theater arts major Shannon Sindelar. Sindelar is organizing her third 24-hour play â€” an exhausting task she began for fun. "I got the idea from looking through a catalog for Eugene Lang College in New York, and they had it listed in the catalog as a class pr an event," Sindelar said* "It was just a little blurb about having a play written and produced in 24- hours." The 24 hour play is open by Western students and Bellingham residents. The play is not associated with any class or club. "It's an opportunity to meet people you wouldn't meet anywhere else,"said Peter Doolan, a playwright and actor participating for his second time. "The director of the play Iwas in last time is now a really good friend." After a night of writing and a day of rehearsing, Doolan hopes an audience will attend to see the end result. 'Tf you're looking for something cheaper than hell, and fun, come and see it," Doolan said. "You're going to see a lot of exhausted people pouring their hearts out onstage." The process begins at 10 p.m.. Friday night when several writers meet with directors to establish a theme for the plays. Individual words are placed in a cup or container and one is drawn out. The word chosen will be the subject of each writer's play. "You're going to see a lot of exhausted people pour- , ing their hearts out onstage." - â€¢-â€¢ PeteDDdolan actor/playwright "The word is just a starting point." Doolan said. "A lot of the creative process is tapping into what's already out there." While the writers settle in to begin writing, the directors move on to auditions. At 10:15 p.m., directors will begin improvisation auditions with actors. This is expected to run for about a half an hour, so actors and directors get to go home to sleep once they have finished. "Actors don't need experience." Sindelar said. "It's just a fun thing." The five writers work uninterrupted until 3 a.m. when they attend a meeting with the coordinator to ensure that all plays will be completed by the 5:20 a.m. deadline. Writers and directors meet at 5:30 a.m. to discuss the scripts. At 6 the writers are free to go home until the house opens at 7:30 p.m. '1 had no idea what I was getting myself into," Doolan said of last quarter's production. "I didn't think I was capable of writing a play in six hours." Directors contact the actors they would like to use at 7 a.m., and actors are required to arrive by 8 a.m. for an all day rehearsal. 'Tor the actors, it's an opportunity to work with new people." Doolan said; "It's a night you'll get onstage you wouldn't-have gotten otherwise." The production begins at 8 p.m. regardless of how tired or unprepared those involved are. Due to time restraints, costumes and props are minimal. Western students and Bellingham residents are welcome to get involved. Auditions take place Friday night for parts in one of the plays. The location of auditions will be posted on the call board in the RA.C. Theater Lounge.

"Fight Club," Palahniuk's first novel, presents the disturbing depiction of a man whose seemingly meaningless life is twisted into one of violence and brutality. His grave imagination combined with both wit and humor has established Palahniuk as a cult idol. Fans eagerly read and snatch available tidbits from his fourth novel, "Choke." The 1999 movie "Fight Club" took Palahniuk's novel a step further. Director David Fincher changed the ending and emphasized the book's love story, making it more Hollywood friendly. The movie stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton as the dual personalities of the main character. Tickets for the Associated Student, productions are only available at the door. Admission is $4 for students and $6 for general admission. DON'T GET LEFT OUT! BEAT THE CAMPUS RUSH PRE LEASE A SUITE TODAY! DUPLEXES: Newer 4 bd/2 ba townhouse style duplexes. Blocks to WWU!

Hallelujah! Sometimes we can get along!" Saturday night's show at the 3B proved that point with a show featuring local favorites Jill Brazil, Foot Stompin" Trio and Seattle's Dusty 45s. Foot Stompin" and the Dusties go together like beer and smokes. Jill Brazil was the wild card. The folks on hand to see Foot Stompin" and the Dusties were easy to spot. They were the ones sporting the gleaming wallet chains, cuffed Levis, thick-rimmed glasses and enough pomade to make a small town preacher blush with envy. The two bands are different branches on the same tree that sprouted way back in. Texas with legends like Bob Wills, and grew with Elvis and Johnny Cash. Jill Brazil's influences might not even be from this planet. Like a perfectly choreographed train v?reck, they look and sound like utter chaos at first, but there's a razor-sharp precision to the sound that comes only from practice and top-notch musicianship. Sax player and lead screamer Lucas Hicks winces when asked to describe the band's sound. He said he gives a different answer each time the question comes up. "We're somewhere between frat-rock with a twist and soft- rock cafe," Hicks said. The quartet, all of whom are current or former Western students, plays songs that switch gears from sublime, to eerie to terrifying in no time. Jill draws comparisons to the schizophrenic music of John Zorn and Mr. Bungle and they also work in Middle Eastern elements wherever possible. Bass player Ian Voorhees and drummer Lyle Morriss somehow, keep a tight rhythm for the band. Tony Gilmore adds the guitars and some vocals and Hicks pierces the songs with screeches and wonks from his saxophone, using different effects to coax forth a myriad of bizarre sounds. "Where the hell is that sound coming from?" one bewildered audience member said. "I dunno; from the sax, I guess," her unsure companion asked. "That wasn't our usual crowd," Hicks said. "This is a pomade show. But people seemed to be into it. Just playing on the same bill with those other guys is cdoL" The Dusty 45's are a mainstay in Seattle, regularly playing at the Tractor and other clubs, as well as touring up and down the West Coast. They play a high-energy Photos by Chris Fuller/Special to the Western Front Jill Brazil (lower left), the wild card of the show, opened for the Dusty 45s (lower right) and the Foot Stompin" Trio Saturday night before a sell-out crowd at the 3B beer joint. mix of country swing and rockabilly with bits of Spanish and punk music thrown in. The Dusty's front man, Billy Joe Huels, handles guitar and trumpet duties as well as vocals. Huels is a master showman who plays to the crowd constantly and ends every show with a stunt the audience isn't likely to forget. As the final song plays, Huels attaches a strip of cloth around the bell of his trumpet and then soaks the cloth with lighter fluid. Meanwhile, upright bass player Kevin Scott lays the bass on its side and continues to play. Huels climbs on top of the bass and finishes with foot-high flames shooting from the trumpet. Saturday was Foot Stompin" Trio's first Bellingham show since their headlining gig on New Year's Eve at the 3B, though they've kept busy touring throughout the region. The four-person trio continues to harden their sound beyond their rockabilly roots. They've always had a mix of original and cover tunes, but instead of sticking to rockabilly and bluegrass, they recently began tackling punk and heavy metal classics. They opened with a dead-on cover of the Black Sabbath classic 'Paranoid," with rhythm guitar player Seth Newsome filling in admirably on the lyrics immortalized by Ozzy Osbourne. "Yeah, we're definitely adding more rocking tunes to the set list," drummer Tom Forster said. Forster said his background is mainly jazz and swing, but Newsome, guitar player Dan Lowinger and bass player Jeff Gray have recently turned him on to the pleasures of heavy metal. The crowd was well-lubricated by the time the band took the stage, and people were only too happy to clap and sing along as they stumbled and sloshed around the crowded dance floor. Audience participation is key at Foot Stompin" shows. The band pulled friends out of the crowd to share vocal duties on covers of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and the truck driving classic "Six Days on the Road." Many in the crowd were generous enough to share their beers with the band and their neighbors, though they usually shared by tossing the beer in the air followed by the can it came from. The band was thoroughly soaked with beer and sweat when it came time to end the set. They capped the evening with a punka-billy cover of the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop." "Oi! Oh! Let's go!" the crowd gleefully shouted and slurred before stumbling out into the cold night with mussed pompadours and smiling faces. - S i l e n c e d b y t e c h n o l o g y - By Scott A. Keys The Western Front The main lights of the auditorium dim, giving way to the bright, powerful floodlights that illuminate the center of the stage. The audience focuses its attention on the actors and actresses performing on stage. The performers are all a part of "Cells", a student- directed play Scott A. Keys/The Western Front Sean Raybell and Chelsea Breibarth in a heat of passion during "Trophy" the final act in the play "Cells." written and produced by Nicky Loi. "Cells" will show Friday and Saturday at the Fairhaven Auditorium. Tickets cost $3 at the door. The play contains three separate acts entitled, "Cheesecake" "Mallrat" and "Trophy." "Each act has a different and distinct message," Loi said. . "The play's main theme is one of anti-technology and how computers and cell phones take us away from reality and block us from communicating with people around us," he said. "Cells" is based on a fictional cell-phone starter kit. The play has a. complex story line, in which the three different scenes take place in three different acts, but appear to be happening at the same time. "The fact that Nicky wrote each of these acts separate but linked them together, making for a story-- line that interweaves separate acts that were actually taking place at the same time was amazing," Brendon Orth, lighting designer of the play said. Sean Raybell, who plays Harry, a 64-year-old retiree in "Trophy," said he liked the challenge of intersecting the three separate acts and making them comprehensibly work for the audience; "This was an overall bold experiment," Raybell said. "Each act being separate but going on at the same time is challenging." The first act, "Cheesecake", is set in a restaurant and focuses on the problems of new-found love. The act portrays Raymond, a 24-year-old Asian man, played by Chris Owens, on a blind date with Michelle, a 32-year-old woman played by Ali Alsos. On the date, Michelle rediscovers her feelings about love. Throughout the act, she interrogates Raymond about his relationship with his new girlfriend Zoe. The second act, "Mallrat", deals with the problems of parenthood. This act, set in an apartment, portrays Jack, a 34-year-old man played by Joseph P. Hayes, admitting his homosexuality to his 15- year-old daughter, Zoe (Raymond's girlfriend) played by Eliza Gauger. The final act, "Trophy", portrays the predictability and monotony that often plagues long-term relationships. In "Trophy", Ruth, a 62-year-old former beauty queen (played by Chelsea Breibarth) tells Harry, played by Sean Raybell, to start communicating or she will leave him. "Cells" is a well-written play dealing with various situations of social interaction that have become problematic due to advances in technology. ---------- Western Front 2001 March 09 - Page 9 ---------- March 9, 2001 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 9 I'm tuning Japanese By Scott A. Keys THE WESTERN FRONT Western students Dancen Waters and Nicky Loi nervously look at a clock hanging on the wall and watch the second hand tick as time runs down. These two men get psyched up for the next two hours of talking, music and overall fun. One has a stern, solemn look on his face, as though he is preparing for battle, the other bounces around like a rubber super ball and cracks jokes . "I try and get pumped up,"Waters said. "It's midnight and I don't want to come across tired. I also go through the list of songs and try to recall special information about the music so that I can relay that information to the audience, so the music is that much more interesting." Just before show time, a quick glance at the play list and a perusal of the black Case Logic CD holder, which contains the early morning entertainment is necessary. As the last second ticks away on the clock, the background music starts, the microphones are powered up and the show begins. "Japan Radio" broadcasts on KUGS, Western's radio station, every Sunday from midnight until 2 a.m. "Japan Radio," which started the beginning of winter quarter, is J3iVJ^^Â§J^^X^$J^S^^J^Â§^^S. that plays a variety:-f-pt':\iN$ ne8 -music, including hip-hop, rock, techno, folk, death metal, heavy metal, punk and a combination style of music that incorporates reggae, metal and hip-hop. The program also plays some Korean and Thai music. "There is a large population of Japanese students on campus who would like to hear the music played on (Japan Radio)," Rachel Dawson, KUGS program director, said. "Sunday is our world music format (day), and the Japanese specialty show fit right in," Dawson said. An important part of the program's format is to play interesting music, Waters said. Waters noted several differences between Japanese and American music. Photos by Scott A. Keys/The Western Front Dancen Waters introduces the next song on Japan Radio a Japanese formatted program on KUGS, Westerns radio station. Japan Radio broadcasts every Sunday at midnight. "One main difference is that Japanese musicians tend to blend styles more, "Waters said. "There are many instances of genre mixing and they have novel ways of putting music ^ ^ . . ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ He explained some forms of Japanese hip-hop are more musical than American hip-hop because they mix more instrumental types of music into their beats. "Japanese musicians, like DJ Crush, are starting to get a lot of recognition because they seem to have a fresh way of looking at things," he said. "They will mix in classical flute with "A lot of people are so focused on the mainstream types of music. No one tries to diverge from that course and step out of the box."

"No one tries to diverge from that course and step out of the box." Loi said he feels bringing different types of music to Western is important. "We have a good medium to expose people to a different type of music so that perhaps cultural gaps can be bridged," Loi said. Waters said he hopes "Japan Radio" gives people a better understanding of Yukiko Nakayama is a guest on Japan Radio and plays Japanese folk music on the flute as co-hosts Dancen Waters and Nicky Loi look on. different cultures. : . turafcawaV ies^^^ realize thaÂ£ other people are more like you than you-know." Waters said he thinks this program will help the relationship between international and American students at Western. "There seems to be a rift between international and American students," Waters said. "I think this program will help people see that there are many similarities as opposed to a lot of differences and that people are just people." Waters said many people have misconceptions about Japanese music. "A big misconception is that Japanese music is all in Japanese, but that is not the case," he said. "A lot of groups sing in English or have English parts in their songs." Waters and Loi both said it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the popular groups in Japanese music because many times the groups popularity differ in America and Japan. The hosts also talk about current events, get comments from the exchange-student community and sometimes have musical guests. Overall, they try to connect with the community, Waters said. Past guests of the program include flute player Yukiko Nakayama and Japanese musical groups Blue Goat and Circle 21. "Having guests is a large part of our pro gram, "Waters said. "It's exciting and also gets a lot of response from our listeners." The program has started to gain some recognition throughout campus, Loi said. "More and more, when I walk on campus, people are saying, 'Oh I've heard of that program,'" Waters said. Waters and Loi plan on having giveaways, contests and perhaps a live interview with a music group from Japan. ---------- Western Front 2001 March 09 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Intramural March 9, 2001 National title run begins tonight By James Lyon THE WESTERN FRONT March is here and in the basketball world, that means March Madness. The NCAA Division II big dance has arrived at Western. The Viking men are making their first appearance in the NCAA Division II national tournament in grand fashion. By finishing the regular season atop the West Regional standings, Western is hosting the West Regional tournament this weekend. The winner of the tournament will advance to the Elite Eight in Bakersfield, Calif. March 21-24. The No. 1 seed Vikings will take on No. 4 seed Cal State University Bakersfield in the semifinal game tonight at 8 p.m. Bakersfield defeated Humboldt State 99-88 last night in first round action. Earlier in the year the Vikings defeated the Roadrunners in Bakersfield 76-67. In the other semifinal matchup, No. 2 seed Cal State San Bernardino (23-3) ranked No. 6 in the national poll, takes on Central Washington tonight at 6 p.m. Central upset Seattle Pacific University 101-95 in overtime last night to earn a berth in the semifinal. San Bernardino is making its third-straight appearance in the national tournament and features one of the stingiest defenses in the nation, holding opponents to 61.6 points per game. The winners will meet 7 p.m. Saturday for the West Regional Championship game and a trip to Bakersfield. The 2000-01 season was the most successful regular season in Viking men's basketball history. Now ranked No. 7 in the nation, the Vikings, for the regular season, went 24-3 overall and 16-2 in the PacWest, earning the team's first PacWest conference championship. Head coach Brad Jackson, named PacWest Coach of the Year, credits the successful season to the team's balance and cohesiveness on the offensive end and the players' improved defense. "We have four players that average 14 points or more," Jackson said. "That is the first time in school history that it has happened, making us difficult to defend. On any given night, anyone can step up like Kett (forward Ryan Kettman) did last Saturday." Jacob Stevenson's 15.1 points per game average leads the Vikings' offense. Forward A.J. Giesa averages 14.7 and center Mike Palm averages 14.3 on 56.1 percent shooting from the field to give the Vikings a formidable inside duo. Guard Shelton Diggs averages 14 points while leading the team in steals. - Stevenson and Giesa were named to the All- PacWest Conference West Division first team, while Diggs received second- team all conference honors and Palm received honorable mention. This year the Vikings are making their first appearance in the Division II national tournament in only their third season in the NCAA. No player on Western's roster has played in a NCAA tournament game, but Jackson said he thinks they will be ready. "We've played some very tough games against very good teams this year that have prepared us for this tournament," Jackson said. The Vikings have an 8-1 record against teams that have qualified for the national tournament, the only against Central Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Seattle Pacific's Eric Sandrin and Central Washington's Justin Thompson tip off the West Regional Tournament Thursday. loss coming when the Vikings traveled to Ellensburg.

The reason for the lack of fans is not the team's lack of talent. The Vikings, who are hosting the NCAA Division II West Regional Tournament, will compete in the semifinals of the tournament tonight. the game. The team was ranked nationally in the NCAA 'Limitingfreeadmissionto To attend every regular season home game would cost students $48. At that price, many Western students can't afford to be loyal fans. The Vikings should be rewarded for their successful season and the team should be allowed to experience a real home-court advantage this weekend. No team has an advantage unless its players can hear cheers from fans to psyche out the visiting team. Free student admission would increase attendance and school spirit and would benefit the Vikings' performance in Division II for stua*ent athletes reduces the majority of the season, and attendance and filters out ranks first in much support from the stu the West d m t bod gt; Region; but still has little visible support from the student body. One major reason the team lacks students' support is because the price for student admission into a basketball game is $3, unless they are Western athletes who get in for free. Limiting free admission to student athletes reduces attendance and filters out much needed support from the student body. All Western students should be able to get into the Vikings' games for free. Non-athletes shouldn't have to miss out on a game because they can't afford it. What makes them less deserving to show support for their university's basketball team? Nothing. All students pay the same university fees. It is difficult to establish regular student support for a team when students are charged $3 each game. The fee discourages regular attendance. "The energy from the crowd gives you an a d r e n a l i n e rush that makes you play at a higher level," captain Ryan Kettman said. "It's a cool feeling to know you're not just playing for yourself or the team, but for the fans as well â€” it's motivating," he said. Viking fans packed Carver Gym once this year, in the game against rival Central Washington University. The one-time enthusiasm and involvement of Western's student body had an enormous impact on the team. The Vikings beat Central 81- 53 in that game, weeks after losing to them in Ellensburg. The Vikings' other home games drew minimal support from Western students â€” a student section in the Carver Gym hardly exists. The school will not lose money by admitting Western students into this weekend's games for free. Fans from the five visiting teams will provide sufficient income. Free admission for Western students would give the Vikings the advantage and would help them win the Western Regional Championship in Carver Gym.

"We have real competition from within our program," head coach Art 'Although we have only two seniors, we have lead ership in the junior class and emerging leaders among the younger players. Phinney said. "With the strength of our depth, everybody is pushing everyone else to be successful." " A l t h o u g h we have only two seniors, we have leadership in the junior class and emerging leaders among the younger players," he said. Puz and Taylor both started as freshmen on Western's NAIA National Championship team in 1998. In the NCAA Division II, in which the team is now playing, there's plenty of experience and depth, Phinney said. He said he also likes the character he has seen from the team in practice and play. "I am looking forward to this being our most successful season yet," Taylor, a shortstop, said. "Personally, I am looking forward to being a good teammate and leading by example." "With only two seniors, we really have to depend on both of them to lead by example and perform well," Phinney said. "Both. are very capable of exceptional seasons." Junior first baseman Jamie Planchich said she looks forward to watching the team improve. "The girls are pretty versatile; we could have so many different l i n e u p s , " Planchich said. She added that instead of having nine regular starters, Western has 15 that could rotate through the lineup. This year, the Vikings recruited eight freshmen to fill spots on the roster. "Each of the last two years, we've had not only talented, but deep recruiting classes," Phinney said. "Last year, a lot of freshmen stepped in right away, but it really wasn't fair to expect that every year. "With time, and maybe soon- Jennifer Collins/The Western Front "Hit the corner of the base!" shouts coach Art Phinney as freshman Dani Deyette sprints through third base during women's softball practice Wednesday.

They played at a high level and they know how to win. I'm very impressed with their work ethic, focus and ability." Placing second in the Central Washington Invitational Tournament last weekend gave the Vikings a glimpse of what's to come in their season. Third baseman Carlena Herd said the younger players really stepped up and did their job. The top three hitters in Western's lineup this season â€” Candace Adamo, Bethany Hoeschen and Jessi Williams â€” are hitting a combined .442 (42- for-95) with 24 run batted in and 21 runs scored. Hoeschen, The Vikings' MVP 'I'm looking forward to this being our most successful season yet' Darcy Taylor Western shortstop at the Central Tourney, is hitting .424 (14-for-33) with a team-best 21 RBI. Adamo, one of the biggest surprises of the early season, is batting .480 (12-for-25), and Williams is hitting .432 (16-for- 37) with a team-leading 10 runs scored. The Vikings will make their home debut Friday with a non-conference doubleheader against NAIA nationally third-ranked Simon Fraser University, which has a 10-4 record this season. Western begins PacWest Conference play Saturday, hosting a doubleheader against Seattle University, which is 4-5 this year. Lovely first round win for women THE WESTERN FRONT Forward Pamela Lovely scored 21 points, her highest total in more than two years, and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds as W e s t e r n ' s women's basketball team used a strong finish to defeat Central W a s h i n g t on U n i v e r s i t y , 74-66, in the first-round of the NCAA Division II West Regional at Pomona, Calif., Thursday night. The Vikings, the defending West Region champion and No.4 seed, improved to 21-7. They play No. 1 seed and nationally-ranked No. 12 Cal Poly-Pomona (22-3) in a regional semifinal game at 7:30 p.m Friday. "It was a good team effort," Western coach Carmen Dolfo said. "We played good defense the first half and the last part of the second. If we can keep that up, we'll be okay tomorrow night (against Cal Poly). "If we can go in relaxed, that's the key." she said. "That's how this team plays best." The Vikings defeated Cal Poly Pomona, 91-76, on Dec. 19 in Bellingham, and upset the Broncos, 84-Â§6, in last year's regional final played at Pomona. Tied at 60 with four minutes to play, Western scored six of the next eight points, four of them by forward Tessa DeBoer to take a 66-62 lead with 2:29 left and led the rest of the way. The Wildcats pulled within two, 68-66, on two free throws by Shaw with 1:18 to play, but didn't score again. The Vikings effectively put the game away on a 3-pointer by Ruth Taylor with 58 seconds left. In the other opening-round game, No.6 seed University of Alaska-Fairbanks upset third seed Cal State-Bakersfield, 86- 75.

H o p e f u l l y , m^m^,,,,m,^.,^â€žâ€ž^ we can bring ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^p the discussion around to the many years of pollution in the B e l l i n g h am community, the resistance that G-P has shown throughout its long history and the common threads that workers and environmentalists share. Kaari Haaland, Western student and daughter of a G-P worker, and I may have more in common than she realizes. I was born into a Navy family. My father later worked at pulp and paper mills around COMMUNITY western Washington. VOICE When I was 13, my father was laid off and my family went through financial and personal turmoil. We experienced the reality of a working class family and eventually spiraled into the depths of debt and bankruptcy. I started to realize the connections: First, I embraced radical environmental politics and then discovered the real implica- ,T . â€¢ j Â» r*Tjr^ tions of working / am inspired by CHC s class participa. work.

I had from developers to radical Â°J?e, a jÂ° h ld environmentalists' onto my vision of promoting a healthy environment by working in the Americorps program, helping restore deforested lands in the Olympic Mountains and maintaining trails in the Sierra Nevadas. Eventually, I became a seasonal trail crew laborer for the National Park Service. During those years, I began to recognize the interconnection of workers' struggles and environmental protection. I am a refugee from Bremerton. I moved to Bellingham for the sense of community I felt here, as well as for the amazing juxtaposition of salt-water bay and forested mountains. Western was a bonus and G-P an annoyance; though I do appreciate the mix of academics arid work-ing class ^ B ^ ^ ^ 8 ^ ^ sensibility. At first, I did not realize how much of an annoyance the mill was. Now I am co- coordinator at the Associated Students Environmental Center and a participant in the Campaign for a Healthy Community (CHC). I am inspired by CHC's work. The participants are normal citizens, ranging from developers to radical environmentalists, as well as daughters, mothers and grandmothers 'CHC has always been an open forum for all citizens. Most everyone involved embraces the participation of G-P workers.' concerned about their families' health. The structure of CHC is decentralized and strives for consensus-based decision making. The group has no leaders. I was disappointed to read Dale Haaland's perspective in The Front and the Herald, because CHC has always been an open forum for all citizens. Most everyone involved embraces the participation of G-P workers. Dale was not asked to leave the January CHC meeting. In fact, participants were ecstatic that a G-P worker came. It was not until the February meeting that Dale was asked to leave a circle discussion _on CHC's response to the use of generators when the subject of civil disobedience arose. He was not required to leave and was asked to stay and to discuss his concerns in another room.

A war that has cost this country millions of dollars and millions of its citizens their lives. It's a war that we are losing. It's the war on drugs. The Western Front spent this quarter learning and reporting about the effect of America's drug war on the country and our surrounding community. What we've learned has shocked and surprised us. In all wars there are successes and failures; battles lost and battles won. The war on drugs is no different. Among its successes the war can count Ryan English, a Whatcom Community College student and recovering drug addict, and Sundown M. Ranch Treatment Center, where English sought help for his addiction ("Addiction hits home for oae student," Feb. 9). The war is also being fought and won in places like Bellingham's Drug Court ("Slamming the gavel on drug crimes," Jan. 26). There, drug offenders may seek help for their addictions as an alternative to imprisonment. Unfortunately, these success stories may be the exceptions. While stories like these give us hope that America may some day win its fight, to see the shortcomings of this war, we need only look to the stories of people like Dorothy Gaines, who was locked away in the name of the drug war for a crime committed by her boyfriend ("Casualties of America's war on drugs," Feb. 16). From mandatory sentencing that fills already overcrowed prisons to zero tolerance laws that punish the smallest of small-time offenders instead of going after the kingpins who control the drug trade, it is clear that the drug war is one we are destined to lose. Walking the streets of any major city or watching children sift through the hypodermic needles that appear on their playgrounds shows that the plague of drugs and addiction is seeping its way into the heart of our communities and homes. But that is exactly where we should be fighting this war - in our homes. Instead of pouring billions of dollars into police and prison programs to catch and confine drug criminals, we should be spending that money where it would undoubtedly be more effective â€” in treatment and prevention. President Bush's federal budget proposal, however, dictates business as usual for the drug war: $40 million for improved drug raid technology, $812 million for prison construction. No matter how much money the government insists on throwing at programs like these, it will never get to the heart of the matter. In such a big business as drugs, it's as simple as basic economic supply and demand. As long as addicts demand drugs, dealers will always be ready to supply them. And the drug war, as it's being fought now, only serves to boost prices and profits for the merchants of addiction, who continue to make money by preying on the vulnerable in our society. America can continue to fight this war in the streets with money, guns and prisons, and we will continue to lose. Or we can start fighting these battles in our homes and communities with prevention, treatment and compassion. Maybe then well have a shot at winning a war we can no longer afford to lose.

J Permanent same-sex partners need immigration rights, too Mariah Price COMMENTARY Imagine being a gay United States citizen and falling in love with a person from a faraway land. Imagine that person wanting to immigrate to the United States, but not being allowed to do so. That is currently the law in the United States. Gay U.S. citizens are not afforded the same rights and benefits as heterosexual U.S. citizens. Hopefully, that will soon change. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) proposed a bill Feb. 14, giving permanent partners the same immigration rights as married couples. The bill is called the Permanent Partner Immigration Act. Its official title as introduced is: "To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide a mechanism for United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor their permanent partners for resi- dence in the United States, and for other purposes." The bill currently has 42 c o - s p o n s o r s , none are from W a s h i n g t o n state. If a heterosexual citizen falls in love with a foreigner, he or she is allowed to marry that person and to bring that partner to the United States. a permanent resident of the United States. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, approximately 75 percent of the 1 million green cards and immigrant visas issued each year are to spouses and family members of U.S. citizens and p e r m a n e n t residents. Current immigration laws fail to recognize a homosexual couple as a family, no matter how long they have 'As it stands now, federal law prevents many lesbians and gay men from keeping their families.'

Anders, an That person can then become See IMMIGRATION, Page 15 Increasing parking fines not a solution to Western's ever-present parking quandary Christina Schrum COMMENTARY Driving around for 15 minutes to find a decent parking space on campus isn't anyone's idea of a good time. But for some it has become a way of life. OK, so everyone agrees that parking on campus pretty much sucks. But now, the administration is considering increasing parking fines. This will not affect those students who abide by the rules. But this news has sent the other thousands of students into an uproar. Did parking administration officials ever stop to think if fewer restrictions existed in the first place that students wouldn't have r to park illegally? Or, maybe t h a t ' s exactly what they were thinking about when deciding to limit spaces. This parking fine increase will help Western pay for the Twin Samish Drive-in purchase it made last fall. Western will use the property for more parking. But, will this purchase really help the situation? Probably not. A common problem many students face is only needing to be at school for a short period of time. Those with-i out parking permits either 'Did parking administra- have to wait Hon officials ever stop to until after 5 think if fewer restrictions existed in the first place that students wouldn 't have to park illegally p.m. or to play p a r k i n g roulette and take their chances with 2 0 - m i n u t e parking.

Good luck finding a parking spot within a quarter mile of the school. Parking patrons either have to sneak their way into a reserved area or hike from the 16CR lots located out in the middle of nowhere. No matter what newfangled plan the administration develops, more parking spaces will still be needed on campus. Until that need is fulfilled, students and others who wish to park on campus will have to continue doing so with caution. Permanent Partner Act deserves Rick Larsen's vote in Congress From IMMIGRATION, Page 14 ACLU legislative counsel, said. "But as it stands now, federal law prevents many lesbians and gay men from keep- ? ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ j ing their fami- ^iiiiÂ«iiiÂ«ii* lies. Instead of intruding into people's private relationships, C o n g r e s s should enact fair immigration standards that apply equally to everyone." Homosexual citizens of the United States should not be second-class citizens. They should enjoy all the benefits and rights that heterosexual citizens enjoy. Thirteen other countries allow same-sex partners of citizens to become permanent residents. The Unites States is behind, and that needs to change. Take a stand! Write a letter to Rick Lar-sen, Belling-ham's representative in Congress, who is not one of the Permanent Partner Immigration Act co-sponsors and tell him to vote yes.

'Homosexual citizens of the United States should not be second-class citizens' Communication key to solving G-P, community conflict From VOICE, Page 13 As Dale knows, one of the work groups in CHC is a worker solidarity/support group. However, the worker group suffers from lack of participation by G-P workers. CHC looks for creative solutions. Unfortunately, Dale decided to take the corporation's line and feed it to the press. Further, he takes CHC's activism on G-P out of context and accuses activists of hypocrisy. Divisiveness is beginning to fester in our community and it rips my heart in half. 'Divisiveness is beginning to fester in our community, and it rips my heart in half As I understand, G-P has a long history of horrendous worker relations, as well as environmental degradation. I believe our community can see the links that perpetuate this. We can come together to unleash creative solutions for these G-P blues.

With the aim of getting students to think in terms of international and pacific relationships, the history department here is again adding to the courses next quarter International Relations 103, and History of the Orient 150." The scope of both courses is to acquaint the student with political and social problems, and religious and philosophical attitudes in the history of the world's peoples. Nor is the artistic viewpoint left out in the study of national cultures for emphasis is placed on the ' arts, languages and customs. The Normal offers a large number of courses in specialized history. The recently added courses are the continuing of a sequence dealing -with international relationships. ...These two studies, of many, serve to give students here a more liberal education as well as teacher training. This dualism of "teacher training., and liberal., education" ..was founded only a very few years by inaugurated by.the present administration. . W. S. N. S. Can you imagine stringent regulations keeping students f r om bringing knitting to their meals? Well, just this rule was laid down to students of Smith College at Northhampton, Massachusetts, when a knitting craze broke out rather spontaneously on their campus a few weeks ago.

Normal Has Negative Side While University Supports Affirmative In No-Decision Contest. R. W. GREENE, CHAIRMAN New Type Cross Examination Debate Proved to a Greater Degree Alertness and Skill of Debators. Resolved, That the system of trial by jury in the United States be replaced by a court of three judges, was the subject of the debate between the University of Washington Frosh. and Normal debaters in last Tuesday's assembly. The Frosh team supported the affirmative side of the question, while the Normalites upheld the negative side. The Frosh team, composed of James Munro and Neil Arnett, and the Normal team, Stanley Craft and Curtis Bell, were introduced by Lawyer R. W. Green, who acted as chairman of the debate. This new style of no-decision, cross-examining type of debate is advocated in all colleges and universities of the Northwest, since it calls for a far more alert mind and more nitiative on the part of the debater. Arnett Advocates Reform Neil Arnett, as the first affirmative speaker, attempted to explain and convince his hearers that there was a positive need for reform in the present system of jurisdiction. He deftly pointed out that "in this age of specialization, we want specialists to do our finer work and to hold our more responsible positions. A ssembly Programs / Go On the Air Today (Continued on Page Four) o PLEASE BIG CROWD Quartet Sings Russian Songs at Christian Church Musical Program. "Bell Song" Gets Big Hand. Today!s assembly inauguarted the broadcast of the assembly program over KVOS, the Bellingham radio station-The microphone which was installed in the auditorium yesterday is connected directly with the transmitter over a telephone line which runs from, the assembly room to the main studio. The management has had financial troubles due to the lack of good programs and the station is now operating in the hands of the receivers. The receivers are trying to put the station^ back on its feet by offering a better class of entertainment. In the opinion of many of the town people who have radios, the broadcasting of our assemblies is a decided step in advertising the Bellingham State Normal and at the same time offering a better class of music than has been presented before over the local station.. The initial broadcast was opened with a concert by the Williams' Trio, an artistic . group of well-known ability. President C. H. Fisher said in assembly last Tuesday: "If your folks at home have radios, have them tune in on KVOS at eleven o'clock on the days that the assemblies are to be broadcasted:" Steal Pennies From Grandma's Sock and Purchase "Whoopee" Red Arrow Many New Courses Are Offered for the Junior High School Curriculum. „ Presenting an entertaining program, composed largely of Russian folk songs and ballads, the Kedroff Quartet appeared at the First Christian Church last Tuesday evening. It was the fifth number of the Musical Artists' Course which is sponsored by the Bellingham Woman's Music Club and the State Normal School. Singing their entire program in their native tongue and without instrumental accompaniment, the Russians showed the wonderful tone quality of their voices. The personnel of this world-famous quartet includes; I. K. Denissoff, first tenor; T. F. Kasakoff, second tenor; N. N. Kedroff, baritone, and C- N. Kedroff, bass, each of whom is a skillful artist. Delightful Selection The exquisite rendering of the familiar selection, "Song of the Volga Boatman," which closely follows .the spirit of the monotonous laboring chant of men towing the heavy boats, was perhaps the most outstanding number of the first group of Russian folk songs. , By special request the quartet sang Psalm 134, "Behold, Bless Ye the Lord," composed by Ippolitov- Ivanov, which is used in the services of-the Eastern Orthodox Church. The reverential spirit and the beautiful harmony displayed the artists' ability in this field. Bell Song Distinctive The artists displayed their perfect balance at its best in the;"Bells of Novgorod," arranged by Karnovitch. This provincial wedding song is taken from the farewells accompany^- ing the bridal ceremony. The ringing tones of many sizes of bells were most remarkably rendered by the A new class is being offered by Professor L. A. Kibbe this quarter called School Administration. It is designed for those intending to be principals of small schools or those who would like a better knowledge of the administration of school affairs. Dr. Miller is offering a class in in Organization and Administration of the Junior High School, designed particularly for students who are specializing in Junior High School; work, (Ed. 124). Miss Sperry is giving a class in Browning (Eng. 107). Miss Kang-ley is giving a 5-hr. course on the Modern Novel, (Eng. 113). Mr. Hoppe offers a course on the Modern Drama (Eng. 117), and is also repeating play production. Miss Madden is giving an expression course intended especially for students in the Junior High School department, (Speech 107). Mr. Hunt will teach two new subjects, Principles of Geography (Geog. 102), an advanced course for Juniors especially interested in geography, and Recent American History (Hist. 103), from the Civil War down to the present time. Mr. Smith will give a course in t h e History of Music, and Miss Cummins one in International Relations (Pol. Sci. 103), while Mr. Bever presents a course on Modern Social Problems (Sociology 102).

Much preparation has been put on this issue ,in fact its complexion will have altogether a different hue. While the term "Whoopee" in modern slanguage has as many interpretations as there are spots on a saloon-keeper's soul, yet an attempt has been made in choosing the material for the Red Arrow to be humorous without being crude. There will also be much of stern and serious stuff, some of which reaches a degree of literary- excellence. Of much interest to the readers is a humorous article by Victor A. Hoppe, and another written in the same vein by Arthur Kolstad. Then there is a resume 6i the matrimonial trials and troubles offered by Leonard Keppler, who has recently entered that profession. Many other humorous trticles, short stories, and. poems, will appear, written by such promising embryo journalists as Barney Chichester, Irene Schagel, Dolly Anderson, Lloyd Beckes.'Mark Jarret, Jane L'Eveque, Phil' Davis and Jack Gudmundson. Among the sterner stuff appears the names of. Frances Gladwin, Paul Booth, Geo. Sherman, and Joy Efteland. This issue of the Red Arrow will contain approximately twenty-eight pages, illustrated with woodcuts by local artists.'The cover promises to be a distinct innovation. So if you have to steal and pav/n the extra set of grandma's false teeth, have twenty cents for next Friday's brand new Red Arrow.

However, one of the most effective and prominent means of imparting such news to the general school public is being neglected. This medium of enlightenment, namely the Northwest Viking, is receiving very little club news. Either club reporters are falling down on the job, or clubs are failing to elect reporters. It is the advantage of such organizations to keep a prominent position' before the public eye. The mountain will not come to Mahomet; let Mahomet come to the mountain. A H ! We welcome the chirp of the robin, the warmth of gracious old Sol, the green of the grass and the trees, the click of cameras, the appearance of bright frocks and delirious ties. We rejoice at the arrival of all these because they represent Spring, and with Spring comes that greatest of national pastimes, B A S E B A L L ! Below is an explanatory opinion dealing with the two gt; proposed amendments coming up at this time before the student body. Many students are not aware that even one amendment has been promoted. However, there are two. One, in the By-Laws, is for the awarding of the official school "W" pin at the completion of the term required by the proposed amendment to the constitution, which deals with terms of office and times of election only. We of the Press believe that these two amndments are important enough to require earnest deliberation, consideration, and adoption on the part of A L L students at Bellingham Normal. Magpie Barks Have you ever read "Pluck" by Basil King? The story of a minister's family which was more or less a victim of circumstances. The children were not fundamentally wayward, bat there seemed to be nothing else to do. It's queer how life twists us anyway.; Just another "American Tragedy." HAVE YOU SEEN "SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE" YET? THEN GO TONIGHT! Priceless gems from "Seven Keys:"' "I hope the prison catches on fire and you're all burned to a crisp" "I'm the school teacher here." "You rat!" "One of our best little squealers."' "Sounds like one of them black hand notes they send to rich folks." "I'm going mad. My brain's on fire. It gives us so much satisfaction to smile wisely and say, "Yes, I've loved and lost and I know." We like to think we've spent Life's silver pennies one by one until they were all gone. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE VERY YOUNG. We are wont to look at the old wise men and say "What can you understand in this complicated modern life. But I—well, I understand it so well." THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE VERY YOUNG. In the past it has been the practice to elect, all officers of the Board of Control for four quarters and to" grant that official school "W" pin at the completion of two quarters service. The effect of awarding an officer at the completion of half his term has led to a predominance of half-filled terms in the history of student government. This situation has b|een particularly apparent during the past three years from a group of twenty odd former office holders, and there are but four who have completed terms of four quarters duration. One other cause for uncompleted terms is the required four-quarter term. It is obvious that most students must withdraw from school during the summer quarter; they cannot, therefore, conscientiously become candidates for a four-quarter position. But as a pin is to be granted at the end of two quarters service, candidates are inclined to develop a wrong viewpoint in that the intrinsic value of the pin, and not the helpful service to the school, becomes the real motive. The proposed amendment to the constitution- has been drawn up by a committee of Board members, and prominent students. In their opinion, the office of president and vice-president must be kept at a four-quarter active service requirement in order, to give student government the continuity which it needs during the change of under-graduate to graduate summer students in June. But the other three representatives (one for three quarters, elected in the fall, one for four quarters, elected .in the fall, and, one for four quarters, elected in the winter, will be granted a leave of absence by the Board of Control during the summer, giving the office-holder the right to return in the fall and complete his term. The vacancies caused by representatives leaving for the summer will be filled by an election late in the spring quarter. Officers so elected will serve for the summer quarter only. The one exception will be the three-quarter fall representative (mentioned above) whose summer absence will* be filled at a summer .election by summer students, and for that quarter only. Therefore, a candidate may be elected for four quarters, but his term is completed at the end of his third quarter of active service. The proposed amendment of the By-Laws would grant the award of the school pin at the end of the third quarter of active service. In this way, the Board will have continuity over the summer quarter. More students will be available as candidates if they may drop out summer quarter, and will retain their offices until the completion of four-quarter terms. I believe that these amendments, although they will not remedy all student government deficiencies, will promote a step of improvement in the evolution of student affairs.

Translated from the French by Henry Longan Stuart, Introduction by Andre Maurois. Published by Harper Brothers: New York and London (1928). First Edition. Julian Green is a very young man who although of American parents promises to be one of the great writers in French contemporary literature. He writes in a seemingly calm steadfast manner the most tempestuous of sensations; he quietly lays bare the most hidden moods of his characters; he is intense. The setting for his "The Closed Garden" is laid in a quaint little French village in the walled garden of a family of the middle class. The setting is romantic, but the^subject matter is drab realism, sordid melodrama. Four hundred terrible pages are woven around an hysterical girl, in love with a man to whom she has never spoken; a girl who becomes insane after having killed her father. His analysis and interpretation of Adrienne, - his heroine, are almost diabolic in their rending, tearing manner. His pictures, are painted with a most sensitive touch, and so suggestively that one recognizes them even up to the slightest detail. His depiction of the lovely, spirited girl who is, one might say, nagged tc insanity is almost terrifying. He carries her through her emotions to delirium with such a power that it seems like some hideous dream. One of the most noticeable characteristics of Julian Green's writings, is their remarkable similarity to Tolstoy's. Mr.. Green, like the latter, chooses an emotional source and bases his dramas upon the resulting conflicting mental agonies which ultimately lead to discovery and often to insanity. "The" Closed Garden" is a gripping novel and one which will not soon be forgotten." Mr. Green is as yet a young man and his works are already termed great. He is creating literary, history and he is not afraid to face the most weighty problems of the day in his true, straightfor ward manner. N EW ILLS FOR OLD (New Disease Found—News Item.) Now isn't it nice they found a new ill, We hope It is served with a tasty pill; . We are bored to death with the measles spots For they're simply not wearing polka dots.

GONE, B U T NOT FORGOTTEN It has been recently called to the attention of the Northwest Viking that several scarfs (silk ones, top), were borrowed at the Inside Girls Informal of last Saturday evening. Such carelessness on the part of the borrowers is to be lamented but if these gentlemen (we hope so) will return the aforementioned, neck-pieces to the Viking office they will be forgiven and congratulated for having read our editorial column.

WASHINGTON BIOGRAPHY Now that the Basketball season is over, and we have mistreated all t he Basketeers through these columns, we shall start in on the members of the W. Club that have not been honored through this personal attention. ' • The man in our mind right now is Granny Thorlakson, the little speed-ball artist that performs around the mound in the warmer seasons of the year. Granny's athletic career started in a little school out in the distant suburbs of Bellingham, Meridian. The lad worked up quite a reputation for himself hurling for his school. Then when he came to Normal he tried to forget his chucking and went in for the less strenuous side of the national pastime. But the coaches liked his mound work i and placed him back in the center of the diamond. Today Granny is a two-year let-terman in the diamond sport, and it begins to look as if he would have another stripe added to his sweater again this season. Besides his participation in baseball, Granny has been one of the mainstays of the Jayvee, and Super Varsity quintets, during the past two hoop seasons. His experience is by no means limited to the work that he has done here at Normal, for he has had considerable i experience with twilight league ball in Bellingham. Granny should be a valuable man for the Viking nine this year. * * * The fact that Herbert Hoover was installed in his new quarters last Monday, did not in any way deter the Co-ops and the Kitchen Krew from locking horns -in the semi-windup of the intramural championship play-off. Getting rid of the ball The book store five won mix by a two-point margin. the is no doubt the reason for the Coop win.

THE SAME TWO TEAMS MET ON THE FLOOR OP HONOR AGAIN WEDNESDAY AT FOUR O'CLOCK. Topics of the day in the realm of sports: What kind of a ball team will represent the Normal this spring? * * * Will Teddy Clarke get his usual number of home runs this season? Rumor has it that the U. of W. will play the Normal at Seattle on April 20. Viking hopes are high. * * # BEARS TAKE HUSKIES FOR CHAMPIONSHIP It took the Golden Bears from California to down the University of Washington Huskies, Northern District champs of the Pacific Coast Conference. NATIONALPASTIMERS CHASING OUT KINKS Diamond Enthusiasts Beginning Early Season Workouts in Gym. Already the diamond aspirants are limbering up the well-known glass arms and stiff joints that have been idle since the close of the diamond season last year. . All over the Southern part of the United States the professional ball clubs are getting into shape for the coming* season. ,.A11 over the country there is a ^ spirit of the diamond entering into the sports chatter of the fans. Baseball is in the air. Spring is on its way northward and will soon be upon us. Then the Normal toss-ers may be enabled to step out of the dressing room and caper and cavort around the diamond in a real business-like manner. A few of the boys are already tossing the old apple around the interior of the little gym, and on occasions they manage' to get out in the fresh air for a few minutes. But for a few minutes only, for it is. too cold as yet for any real outside work, and those who do go out are well bundled as yet for any real outside work, and those who do go out are well bundled in sweat shirts and sweaters. : - The coaches are recommending that the fellows turn out in the gym, but advise, against the outside work. They do not want to take any chances on having a team loaded down with sore arms and shoulders. As yet there has been no use of the bat in the short workouts. The fellows are just throwing the little pill around among themselves and taking the kinks out of their arms and backs. Later, as the weather warms, and s the rain is less frequent, there will : be regular practice out on Waldo 7; Field., Then there will be ample op- ; portunity for the diamond follow- gt;; ers to get a line oh the players, and '•\:z for "the coaches to pick out their ;;h ^ gt;teain, an^ pre-. ^ ^ s e a ^ ^ d p ^ Week-End Games The first game of the scheduled three-game series on Friday night went in favor of the California quintet. The second game went the route of the first but m a less decisive manner, 30 to 27 on Saturday night. In the first half of the last game the Bear cagers ran up 21 points to the Huskies 6, but the second half was practically a reverse, -the Northerners made 21 points to 9 for the Southern team. This was the third Conference playoff that the Huskies have lost in consecutive games. BLAINE WINS Again a Whatcom County team carried off first honors in a district basketball tournament. This year the Blaine Borderites nosed out the Mount Vernon quintet by one point, 34 to 33, in the finals last Saturday night. They, earned the right to represent the Northwest section as Team No. 1, at the Stale tournament to be held in Seattle, March 14, 15, and 16. Captain Clint McBeath, Whatcom High forward, and Captain Ted Hanson, center, from the Border City, were the two Whatcom county men placed on the mythical All-Star five. Minaman, Mount Vernon, Was the other forward named, while Frazier, Mount Vernon, and Curtis, Snohomish, were the guards picked: , o — Through the new 200-inch telescope we con see 2,700,000,000,000,- 000,000,000,000 miles of space.

The season has been a tough-one and the managers had their hands full in trying to choose those whom they considered the best of the lot. However, they finally reached a decision, and the following group of men is the result of long and painful concentration and discussion. The members of the first team are: Parker, Co-op, arid Gravrock, Men's Club, forwards; Stickney of the Kitchen Krew, center; while Wanamaker of the Co-ops, and Lamphere of the Krew were chosen as the men to fill the guard berths. For the second team were chosen: Arnett of the Co-ops and Hamilton, Vanadis Bragi, for the forwards; with Gaither of the Men's Club at center, and Adkinson of the Vanadis Bragi and Prigg of the Co-ops as guards. Those receving honorable mention from the managers are Green, Co-ops, Chichester of the Thespians, Hunicutt of the Kitchen Krew, and Johnson and Beighle, also of the Krew. The Co-ops hold the lead in number of players that placed on the All-Star teams, with two men on each team, while a fifth man received honorable mention. There was a triple tie between the Vanadis Bragi, Kitchen Krew and the Men's Club. Each team placed two men on the mythical teams. There was only one team that was not mentioned in the mythical squad. ELLENSBURG, Feb. 28.—Eighteen football players, representing one of the greatest teams ever put out at Ellensburg Normal, received /their sweaters at a special all-school assembly held here today. The assembly was opened with short talks by President Black, Coach Sandberg and Wesley Ruble, captain of the grid team of this year, after which the sweaters were awarded by Howard Porter, faculty athletic manager. Six of the sweaters given out 'today bore three stripes, four were given to two-year veterans, and eight men received their first award for pigskin service. Names of three former football captains were included in the list of three-year veterans, and all six are names that have long been prominent in Normal school athletics.

The''post which Mr. Hoover, himself, held so efficiently for so many years he has given to Mr. Lamont. Friends say that the President-elect searched for a man who was an outstanding engineer and who had a wide business experience to fill this importhant office of Secretary of Commerce. ..Mr. Hoover is a good judge of men, having been in contact with all kinds of people thruout his life. He is a keen business man and we may rest assured that all vacant offices will be filled with efficient /men. President Coolidge will hand his responsibilities over to our new President with a feeling that no hands more capable could have received them. There is a mutual respect and friendship between these two great men that comes from each of them knowing and recognizing the worth of the other. Then, too, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Hoover have one big thing in common: They are both expert anglers. o — suitors that the test is one designed to ascertain their charitable inclinations - toward the poor. The wood cutter rescued the queen by giving her water when she had been overcome by eating too much bread offered her by the suitors, who all proved generous, and won the hand of the princess.

(Stutz photo) SUBCommittee Says: No Room for Bookstore CURRENT PLANS for the Student Union Building wereagain modified by the student-faculty committee last Thursday evening. Due to the present agreementwith the Federal Loan Agency, any new designs will not i n c o r p o r a te the Co-op in the UnionBuilding. Under the latest arrangement to secure the loan the book store would be required to remain inthe SUB until the full amount which was borrowed was paid. This would mean that the Coop wouldcontinue in the building- for a period of 25 years, reported ASB President Ken Mof-fett. Consideredin the light of the college's predicted growth this would indicate a continued demand for more student-supplies space and could possibly disrupt the original purpose of the SUB. It was further disclosedthat the Loan Agency agreed to a 25,000 foot minimum for the building which prohibits the feasibility ofenlarging on the original plans. SUBJECT TO PRESIDENT Haggard's approval the committee has,therefore, recommended that the book store remain, in its present location for at least another year. This will, reportedly, allow adequate time to carry out a more contemplative solution. The initial plan to use brick for the exterior of the SUB was also rejected. It was agreed that a more economical material, such as reinforced cement or aluminum, could save up to as much as $70,000. EARLY NEXT QUARTERthe committee will schedule a meeting with Mr. Owens, head of the SUB at the University ofWashington, in which his architectural ideas will be considered before conferring again with the Jonesand Bindon architects. THE NAMES OF 28 Western students have been chosen to appear in thenext issue of "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities." Seniors chosenfor the first time this year were Carolyn Brewer, Queen Sigrid XIX; Joel Carlson, ASB vice-president; AlGunderson, senior class president; Susie Jacobsen, senior homecoming princess, and Ken Moffett,ASB president. Other seniors honored for the first time were Jim Hanna, Carol H o l s t i n e , JimKreiss, Larry Richardson, Charlotte R o 1 i e, Rosalee Swedberg, Joyce Us-koski, L a w r e n c e White, and Joyce Wold.

By LOUELLA VAUGHN A FULLHOUSE heard the voices of 200 students in the colorful Christmas Concert presented Monday. Thestage settings and lighting added eye appeal to the three-part program narrated by seven students of the Speech Department. Probably the most religious stage setting was the manger scene in whichVocollegians sang of Jesus with a large star shining overhead. In an informal outdoors setting the ACappella Choir sang three seldom-heard carols. Dressed in colorful winter attire, the sang near redlamp-white jackets the Coed sang "Johnny, Bring the In." For this and their numbers the girls sangtinsel-decorated Christ-carolers posts. In new Choraliers Pine Tree other two around a mas tree. THE IMPRESSIVE HALLELUJAH, from "The Messiah," employed the combined choral groups, orchestra and organ. The audience sat silent after these groups sang "Silent Night" under blue-lit shining stars,then suddenly burst out in applause for the completed concert. m mm mm fill iiiUs mMM BIG GARYNELSON, the 7'2" transfer, "puts" the ball in the basket for two.

Tolstoy's Natasha Lives Again In Movie 'War and Peace' MARCHING OFF T H EPAGES of nineteenth century history in the characters of Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace, released intechnicolor and Vistavision, is one of the longest movies to be put on film. (3 hours, 28 minutes.) I t maynever win an Academy Award, or be hailed as a superb cinematic translation of Tolstoy, but as an attempt at putting such a colossal book on film, War and Peace is a highly creditable effort. It is, in fact, one ofthe most creditable efforts the movie industry has ever made in putting an author's work on the screenwithout completely distorting it to fit the failings of a box-office hayseed (sometimes called a movie"actor") or to fit an oversized screen. THE PHOTOGRAPHY (especially the monochromatic winterscenes) is beautiful; the battle scenes are spectacularly realistic and believable. There is nooveremphasis on the number of extras hired for scenesâ€”they are employed without fanfare. Thecharacters are alive. Audrey Hepburn, as Tolstoy's young and vibrant Natasha, is so alive that if aviewer remembers no one else, he will not be able to forget Natasha who lived on the screen. He willhave a definite picture, too, of the superb (even though minor roles) characterizations of aged but wiseKutu-zov and an arrogant Napoleon. Kutuzov is so Russian that when he sobs "Russia is Saved" allother actors seem out of place. HENRY FONDA, is hard to believe as Pierre because of his slowAmerican character and voice. But as the second major character he did not fail the role as did MelFerrer who should have worked a little harder for his wages, though he overworked himself in the deathscene of Prince Andrey. PONTI DI LAURENTnS, who also earlier produced "Ulysses," can be credited for not producing simply a sex-in-colored-candlelight version of War and Peace. It is not amasterpiece, but it is a creditable introduction to what is called "one of the greatest novels everwritten." And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that allthe world should be taxed . . . And in the twentieth century the world was taxed again, in men and effort, and blood and new forms of energy. On the great battlefields of World War I and World War II and Korea, the world went to be taxed, everyone out of his own country. After long days and nights the battlefieldslay red and quiet, under somber, noiseless skies. Silent night, holy night . . . When it was all over, in afield in Flanders, in the ruined streets of defeated Berlin, and under a star-studded sky in cold Korea,some men paused a moment and looked back on their efforts. Behind them lay broken homes, brokencountries, broken promises and broken people. Some knelt and thought and prayed, for before them laythe horizon of a new world they hoped would be different. For unto you is born this day in the City ofDavid a Saviour . . . New and mighty nations arose out of the desolation, some of them dedicated to thefreedom and progress and dignity of men. And with them arose a new power, a bright, untapped andunlimited source of energy that could build a new world, where men could dedicate their efforts to tasksabove killing, where progress could be carried over new thresholds. Here at last was something good. But there was another side of the story. Shepherds quake at the sight . . . Out of the mushroom that hadleveled the concrete plains of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, a more powerful force of destruction than manhad ever known loomed as a dark shadow over the land. Men stood in awe of this force. The seeds of war had sprouted terror and fear; in another great conflict there would be no victors, only survivors. And thisshall be a sign unto you . . . A new world and a new people born out of those wars is approaching themirror of its destiny today. There it may see two facesâ€”that of war and that of peace. The face of war ischeap and easy to acquire as in the pastâ€”but it is ugly and scarred. The face of peace is moreappealing, but it requires work, and dedication and days and years of frustration and uncertainty. Todaymany people are looking for bargains, and many more are in doubt. Even more, though, sit down andbemoan their fate and see the end of the world in sight. But an American writer has said, "There issomething wonderful happening. But we say so much about the dangers that we have not yet looked at what is being born." Perhaps the answer lies in seeking out a star that guided three men over the still,blue plains of Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. . . . and on earth peace, good will toward men.
