Very little is known of the strength of the college meri; except their reputation of past seasons and for this reason Coach Davis has come to the conclusion that his men will not have everything their own way as they did in the Ellensburg game last week. Last year the best that the Vikings could do was to win one of the two games that they played with Father Edward's men and that by a close score. 7~~ The game will get .under way immediately following a preliminary which will start at 3 'o'clock.

The quartet has blend and color that make it rival male quartet organizations, This quartet is composed of Catherine Hunt of Spokane, Vera Bolh-ke of Grand View, Vay Kearns of Garfield and Katherine Pugh of Tacoma. The club will also be accompanied by Imogene Setzer of Tacoma and Melba Kifong of Colfax, dancers, who will present clever numbers which add mat-rially to the program. Alberto Salvi, acclaimed as the world's greatest concert. artist, will appear in concert at the First Christian church on Monday evening, February 16. As the fourth number of a series, given by the Women's /Music Club and the Bellingham Normal School, this corn-cert- promises an unusual treat for all music lovers'. •••.

This was even before his school days. - As he was winner of the Royal scholarship's prize he received all his training at the expense of the Italian government graduating with honor, three years ahead of his class.

Crater' Lake is also only. about ninety miles distant from here. • -/ ••'•;•- "There are many very odd geographic formations in our immediate vicinity. There are barren mountains so flat on top that it seems as if they had been sliced off with a knife, and the'mountains loom up from the desert perfectly alone. ,''.' '.??.}. ", "About twenty miles from here is Fort Rock, a natural fort which is thought to be an old crater. Then eight or ten miles south of the town stands Hagar Mountain.' Climbed Mountain. "About five weeks ago we climbed to its'summit, and we surely, experienced a thrill at the excellent view of the grandeur, of all the surrounding coun-' try. We were surprised to.hear afterward that from the Lookout Station up there where we were, one is supposed to obtain a more extensive view than from any other mountain peak in the United States. Its elevation is only 7,300 feet, but I suppose that the huge I flatness pf the land below, lends to the I broad view. Mt. Shasta was very impressive the day of our trip up Hagar. - Population of Silver. Lake. "Silver Lake has a population of about 150, and has once been a thriving and typically Western village. Like so many other small towns of its day, it died down and became almost deserted after its 'boom.' So for a good many years it has merely existed out here in the-desert. It still retains a good deal of that 'wild Western atmosphere' and in spite of everything, the people who were born and raised here surely do 'boost' for Silver Lake: - Desert Fascinating. "I find the desert fascinating in its va stness, and I doubt whether there are sunsets in many other parts of the world to be compared with the ones here, unless it be those glorious sunsets over Bellingham Bay. "The winters here are very cold, it having been 40 below zero a week of BO before "Christmas. It is also often very windy, so much in fact that after only a day one would think that all the sand on the desert had blown completely away. But it always manages to blow back again the next day. School a Redeeming Feature. "Although practically all of the buildings and dwelling placeB present quite a dilapidated appearance, the school surely is a redeeming feature. It is a modern building in every respect, and certainly is a pleasant place .in which to carry" on one's work. .The high school is included in the same building. There are two high school teachers and three grade teachers. I have the primary room with an enrollment of twenty pupils this year.. There are about ninety students in the school. Tragic Fire. "Here at Silver Lake in 1896 or '98 they had a similar fire at a Christmas program to the one in Oklahoma this' year. The cemetery which is not far from here, contains forty bodies over which stands one huge monument. Most everyone here has some relative buried there. The store in which the fire took place belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Chris-man, present proprietor of-the hotel where we live."

Eight; representatives from the fifth grade were chosen to speak to the different grades, including the pre-primary. They explained to the other grades that they wanted the Normal Training School to be the best school in Bellingham. After these talks were given a representative from each grade was elected. They met in Miss Rich's office to discuss what should be done. Mr. Hender-schott the school gardener, also met with the children. - The ichildreri-of the Training school wish to ask the Normal students to cooperate with them. It was decided that everyone must stay off the front campus and terrace. Mr. Henderschott was delighted with the spirit of appreciation, helpfulness and responsibility which is present among the Training school pupils.

No member of the faculty was more eager to help in student social affairs, to assist in any part of their recreation than Miss Long. Her loss will be deeply felt by the entire student body. / . _ : —0—: ' AN APPRECIATION. "We, the Faculty of the Washington State Normal School, at BeUingham, desire to express publicly our sorrow at the sudden death of Miss May G. Long, our beloved co-worker and associate. In the years we have been together we have come to appreciate her exceptional qualities. Her joy in life was abundant; her interests extended beyond the class room, and her influence was vital throughout the state. She gave unsparingly of her strength, time and energy; her ideals were an inspiration in the life of our school. It was a privilege to have known her and worked with her. The radiance of her personality and unselfish generosity of spirit live on. C. H. FISHER, OLIVE EDEN'S, REGINA FRANK, E.A.BOND GERTRUDE LONGLEY. W. J. MARQUIS ADELE JONES, 0—'——— IGNORANCE—OR CARELESSNESS? "Oh, Alice, has the bell rang? I bet you don't know who I seen last night. Bill! Yes, and him and Jack was walking down Holly. Gee, but Jack is dumb, you can't learn him nothing." "No, Lulu, I didn't see them. But what I want to know is, where am I-going to find a school for next year. , 1 ain't seen any vacancies yet, have you? Them people down where I live wants me to come down there, but I don't want to 'cause everybody knows me too good." •" Is the above a fair cross-section of the grammar used in this school? We sincerely hope not. And yet you will be surprised at the number of these very common errors you will discover in your own speech if you watch closely. Better English Week starts February 23. It would not be a bad idea to start checking up on yourself now. o THE SCHOOL CALENDAR The management of the Messenger is not held responsible for Student Opinions, within certain limits.. But we . most heartily indorse the Opinion in this, issue respecting a school calendar. -"•. If necessary, we would be in favor of starting a new department solely to care for this important matter. At least there should be some office where every school event is registered as soon as it is scheduled. At present, all social events are registered at the Dean of Women's office. Would it not be a good idea to carry this out still further and have a, place, say the Dean of the Normal's office, where EVERY event could be put down on the school calendar. Some things could be scheduled as much as a year in advance. It is unfair to the different clubs to say they lack school spirit because their dates conflict with all-school affairs when they have no means of knowing beforehand when these events are to be. Of course it is a fine thing for a club to say, as the Seattle Club did recently, "If our party conflicts with an all-school affair, we will call off the party," but this should not be necessary. The official school calendar would do much to: 1. Assure support at all-chool affairs. 2. Give the clubs a square deal. - 3.

Schedule Conflicts. •.:'; I t l i s time .:tb\ distinguish, between all-school activities and the activities of individual clubs and campus organizations. "'.';"• If varsity ;athletics; are not activities of the whole school* they should be discontinued. But since it is evident that this school • and every- other school does support and will continue athletics as all-school activities, i t is not likely, that we will stop them. ; ^ .• It simply is a question, of school spirit. Any club that will give a dance or program the same night of a varsity athetic contest i s sadly lacking in the most- essential: element of school life, The sorest spot in the side of any Normal school is the fact that students- are in school for such a short time that school spirit within the individual does not have time to develop. The fact that clubs are allowed t o infringe on the dates of all-school activities tends to dwarf real school spirit, because the members are given the impression that clubs are "it," since their clubs have such an unchallenged privilege. Since athletic schedules are made out months ahead, the social calendar should be built around the varsity contest dates, as is done in other colleges. ~ I t isn't the clubs or individual students who are at fault; i t _ i s simply the way the dates are handled. That is, the way the club and athletic dates are put on the permanent calendar. This is not an attempt to criticize any organization, b u t - t h e method of giving Uates in this school seems neither correct nor efficient and certainly should be modified. —H. W. Something We Seldom Think* About. Are you conscious of the great many gross errors in speech which are used so extensively in the halls and about the campus of this Normal school? Perhaps you yourself are guilty.

Dick, By" the way. Pretty keen, eh? You better decide to go kid. So long, see you tomorrow." And so ended a perfect conversation, which is very common on this very campus, when no one else" i s supposed / to be hearing.' Are we going t o i l et these and many other errors creep into our future school rooms, allowing other students to come to the Normal using such uncouth language? Decidedly not.

Well, did you ever think how funny it would be to see one of them today after we are so used to silent drama supreme and the talkies? The other day we got to see one and maybe it wasn't funny. It was supposed to be a\. melodrama, but the biggest thrill came to us by the way of the styles of ten years ago and the old-fashioned technique. And then, the reels had to be turned by hand (the light was generated by an old Ford engine, by the way) and between each reel, one had to wait in the dark for about ten minutes before the next one was ready. Well, all in all, it was a "reel" show. # * * *, And now our column has a new rival! Just an every day special staff 'rambles' in with a colyum in a big attempt to steal our thunder! And, do you know, it wasn't such a bad effort, either; he even acquired the editorial we. Next think we know, we will be debunked in favor of this young upstart—egad! * * * * But we think that if our neophyte rival really knew his stuff, about this one armed driving, he would know that nine times out of ten the woman in the case had one hand on the wheel, too. Tsk, tsk, Chuck; you forgot to "Cherchez la feirime!" * '• * * At last we have some authentic column material. An antique Turk of 156 summers has come to America with a purpose in view. (Whereupon all the big and little columnists in the country avidly leap upon the poor old man as legal copy and five the old duffer a lot of free publicity... He had his picture in the brown sheet, but he's a noble sub^ ject for yellow journalism). • * * * However, that is beside the point. What we actually started out to say Was that he has come over for his twelfth wife and to he-fitted with false teeth so that he can enjoy life. (It doesni designate whether it is the teeth or the wife ' that are to lend enjoyment); Anyway; if he is the kind of a man we think he is, he hasn't much left in life that is different to enjoy; but we would recommend a roily-coaster and some pet milk. We wonder if our friend, the Asiatic Methusaleh, would like to come up to our fair institution for a day (or maybe he would like to exhibit the pictures of lt;- his other eleven wives in room 209 for a few days) in order to deliver a lecture on technique or "S. A." or even "It". And then, he might even.be able to interest some tired teacher in his lonely years that stretch ahead of :Mm. : '" '.'"

Oh, well! accidents will happen, you know. But just think what a beaher of a fiction story it would make—^-if it hadnt' already been run to death as a theme already. • * • * ! • * '* We were listening, in on thfe radio the other night on what we at first thought was a "funny" program; but after thinking it over, we are beginning to suspect it of a rather subtle satire which stabbed at man by disclosing his futility.

We wonder just what would Next Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the Auditorium, "The Pigeon", by John Galsworthy, will be produced. The Normal Drama club offers this play as "distinguished entertainment". Mr. Galsworthy in "The Pigeon" has excelled in his method of partly emotional, parftly intellectual talk. "The Pigeon" is essentially a play of ideas. It is distinguished entertainment in that it teaches as it amuses. The story is managed in such a fashion as to be neither tragic, nor essentially serious. Such synonyms as "sympathetic, compassionate, and tolerant," suggest its spirit. Mr. Eugene O'Neill has written a drama called "The Hairy Ape" in which Yank, a stoker on an ocean liner, tries to find his place in organized society. The O'Neill play is strong medicine, a bitter, turbulent indictment of mans lack of humanity toward brother man. Mr. Galsworthy has treated the same material in a less forthright fashion. He chooses to "poke gentle fun at the "tame birds" of society who would clip and imprison the "wild birds". With mild symbolism he brings upon his stage three derelicts: FarrariS, a young French vagabond; Timson, a besotted old cockney cab driver; Megan, a little S.S.

Mr. Victor Hoppe has selected the play and the cast with care; and the entire time since, the beginning of the quarter has been devoted to perfecting the production. Mr. Hoppe himself will appear in the cast. People who are familiar with "The Pigeon" declare unhesitatingly that it is an unusually captivating vehicle. Mr. Hoppe promises not only a pleasant evening, but one that will stir your interest as well. Every student enrolled this quarter should attend. Because of apathy prevalent during the summer quarter, there are few enough good things offered, and of the various types of recreation available, drama should be the most welcome. Most people are familiar with the work done by the Drama Club in the past, and that should guarantee a recorct-breaking turnout for the two evenings' program.

Bureau of Research Tests Show Growth During Two School Years During the past school year the Bureau of Research has spent considerable time studying the results and uses of student entrance tests. By combining scores on certain of these tests, it was found possible to predict quite accurately the grades which a given student would receive at the end of the first quarter of work. Tests ordinarily are given to students during their first quarter attendance. This last spring they were given in May to those who graduated, from the two-year course in June.

The following table gives the means and differences between the means for six of the tests.

With Swanson on third, Brown got up and doubled to right field, scoring Swanson arid Geri. This made the score 5-4* with one down. With things looking tough, Lundberg tightened up and fanned Gunn and Brownlow flied out to Hamilton, retiring the side.

He will also host discussions today regardingethnic diversity in higher education. Duster will talk from 9:30 to 11 a.m. in the Fairhaven Auditorium and at noon in the Viking grounds deal with because of racism. "It's not that we are trying to say,'You need to pull us up because we are minorities.' That's not what we are saying," she said. "We aresaying, 'realize what is going on. Realize what the past has done to us, realize what it's done toeducation - what it's done to our self esteem.'" Christine Quemuel, an Asian Pacific Islander, said shefeels it is important forothers toexplore different cultures deeply before making any "Don't assume you know a culture because you have read a book or because you have lot's of friends. Explore it moredeeply." Christine Quemuel, Western student Union Main Lounge. A Martin Luther King, Jr. vigil will take place at 4:30 p.m. in the Viking Union Main Lounge. "I wish it was mandatory that~p^ojple"^ad"'io7"g6',"'"'Carrie' Blackwood, a Western student, said of the candlelight vigil. Blackwood,who is Chicano, said she feels the issue of racism hasn't changed. "There are still people who believethat Chicanos are less intelligent than whites," said Blackwood. "It is the whole stereotypesthathaven'tchanged: that Chicanos are lazy, that we're all in gangs, or minorities being somehow aburden on white society. It's the same old stuff." Blackwood said she wants people to take the time to understand the anger and frustration people with different ethnic back-judgements. "Don't assume you know a culture because you have read a book or because you have lot's of friends," Quemuel said."Explore it more deeply." Daniel Reyes, MECha coordinator and Ethnic Student Center grantresearcher, agrees with the students. "We think we have created a strong voice and the frustrationcomes from the strong voice being ignored," Reyes said. "We are not slacking our effort to promotediversity." Reyes said he feels the ethnic center is a place for students to gain back their heritage. "TheEthics Student Center is to enpower the disenfranchised," said Reyes."We are a reconquest of ouridentity through coalition." Kegger causes Inter-Hall Council president to lose job Karl Schweizer staffreporter Thelnter-HallCouncil (IHQ voted last night to fire their president, Ken Wood, after a keg partyinvolving minors tookplace in his apartment The decision to fire Wood was made despite a motion tosuspend part of the IHC constitution allowing him to keep his job as president of the council. "I thinkKen is a great guy," said Derek Forbes, an IHC representative who voted against the suspension. Hewent on to say, "We made these rules (the constitution) at the beginning of the year, and they wereintended to be kept, not broken. My hall felt that the image of the council is more important than oneman. If we suspend the constitution once, where does it stop?" Wood lost the IHC presidency whenBirnam Wood Resident Director Dick Yarrington kicked him and two of his roommates out of theuniversity residences system following the Nov. 13 "kegger" party at Wood's apartment. BecauseIHC's constitution requires its voting members to live in the university residence halls orapartments, Wood's expulsion rendered him ineligible to be president. IHC Vice-President Steve Collinsproposed suspending the constitution to allow Wood, who had been serving his second year aspresident, to return. But, the proposal failed to get the necessary 2/3 majority vote. The proposaldied on a split vote of 15 in favor and 15 against, with two abstentions. Collins, who will succeed Woodas president of IHC, said, "Ken's a great personâ€”probably the best I've seen. It's a shame that thisgreat leader got kicked out" Wood, 20, admitted to the five student-housing contract violationsYarrington charged him with. The charges were: being a minor in possession of alcohol, sellingalcohol, being a minor in possession of a large quantity of alcohol, loud noise and ignoring the guestpolicy. He protested his expulsion in a written statement: "I have never heard of someone getting kicked out for the offenses we had and especially for the first time," he wrote. "We were made out to beexamples, and that's not right" Pete Rosenberg, the assistant director of Residence Life, heard Wood'sappeal of his expulsion, and let the expulsion stand, but he denied that Wood had receivedextraordinarily harsh treatment.

VACUUMS Just off Samish Way behind Boomer's Drive-In Long school phone delaysalmost over Margret Graham staff reporter A 'round-the-clock effort last weekend by the WesternTelecommunications staff and the American Telephone Telegraph Go. brought relief to universityresidents and administrators who found themselves at the mercy of jammed phone lines whileadjusting to a new phone system last week. Workers installed new lines Jan. 9 to alleviate lines thatwere sometimes busy for hours, making off-campus and some in-univer-sity calling impossible. Thesituation resulted from a combination of miscalculation, misdialing and heavier-than-normal callingtraffic. "The demand from students was much beyond our anticipationâ€” we didn't know how muchtraffic there would be," said Telecommunications Director Sid DeVries, who spent last weekendhelping with the installation. The return from winter break also marks the heaviest calling period of theyear, he added. The only remaining hurdle is the installation of more long-distance trunks, whichshould arrive in about two weeks. Until then, he asked students to be patient. "We just ask that theybear with us and spread out their longdistance calls and maybe not talk as long, so others have theopportunity," he said. IHC president continued from page 1 In addition, Rosenberg said members ofUniversity Residences dicta' t have a personal grudge against Wood. "Students have to realize thatthey're adults and that they have to accept the consequences of their actions," Rosenberg said. In atelephone interview, Wood said he had been caught with alcohol on another occasion last year. Woodsaid he wanted badly to keep his paid job as IHC president, despite the fact that he now lives off campus. "I have worked over 700 hours for this system," he wrote, "from writing newsletters to parents, tostanding up for students' rights, and all I really want is to have a fair shake and continue my job." Woodsaid he doesn't believe he received a fair shake in the appeals process because his appeal had beendecided by one Residence Life staff member instead of an appeals board made up of three students, onemember of the student affairs staff andaResidence Life staffer. In response to that statement, MikeBartosh, the associate director of Residence Life, said a conflict-of-interest existed because all seven ofthe students on the appeals board had been elected by Inter-Hall Council, and four were IHCrepresentatives. In addition, he said none of the students on the board had completed thesecondoftwotrainingcourses required of appeals board members, in part because IHC had not submittedtheir names to Residence Life in time. Wood wrote that Keri Dean, the secretary of IHC, had submittedthose names on October 28. Bartosh said IHC should have filled the student board positions last spring,and that the period between October 28 and November 13 was insufficient time to train all sevenstudents. In the absence of an appeals board, Bartosh would have heard Wood's appeal, but Woodasked that Rosenberg decide it instead Wood said he wants students to have more power in makingdecisions at Western. He said he plans to run for the office of Associated Students president this spring.P Planned Parenthood â€¢ Birth Control E*ams and Supplies â€¢ Pregnancy Tests and Referrals â€¢Infection Tests and Treatments AFFORDABLE -CONFIDENTIAL Prompt Service Evening HoursDowntown Bellingham LSAT MCAT GMAT ORE If you're taking one of these tests, take Kaplan first.Classes beginning in January February Call 206-632-0634 U-District in Seattle KAPLAN flgt;* w ww to thÂ» tâ€”t quâ€”tlon.

That's what Saturday night's audience atSpeedy O'Tubbs can expect from the Seattle band JAMBAY, said Steve Murray, booking agent forSpeedy's. Band members Shelley Doty (guitar/vocals), Chris Haugen (guitar/vocals), MikeSugar (base/vocals) and Matt Butler (drums/ vocals) make up JAMBAY. The music resembles a cross between KingCrimson and the Grateful Dead, Butler said. "We jam in a jazz style, but from a rock angle," he said.JAMBAY's improvisational skills make the songs particularly exciting, said Butler. Many people thinkmost of the music is orchestrated, but a lot of it's unique, he said. "Wejump off acliff. There's nothingplanned. Everything is brand-spankin' new." "Their songs have a complicated structure," Murray said."They don't sound like anyone else. [JAMBAY is a] completely original, hard-rockin' dance band. They're going to stun the crowd with their talent and energy." "We, as a band, believe the Mondar-Saiurdar i-30i.-n.to 3 p-m. Sunday S ajn. lo I pjn.

"It's not just a rock beat. Music can bebreaking glass. There are no wrong notes. A wrong note may take you in a new direction. You learnsomething from everything." JAMBAY was supposed to open for the Grateful Dead last summer, butdidn't, said Butler. He hopes for more exposure in the future. Murray predicts the band will be booked by the end of the year. "It's grunge that's being signed now," he said. "But [JAMBAY's] talented and theywill be an influence for other bands." Butler said he and the other members of JAMBAY are happiest when they are performing. "Our goal is to play music all over the world." Being a musician requiresdedication and commitment If it was the rock star image he was after, he could get it, he said. But,that's not what he's aiming for. A compact disc and tape titled "JAMBAY," areavailableat CellophaneSquare. An all-live, bootleg tape will be released this month and a new album is scheduled for releasethis spring or early summer. In addition, profits from current recording projects will be used to fund a tour on the East Coast.

Some events on this winter'sagenda are snow camping, ice climbing, sea kayaking and a back-country ski tour. A women's snowshoeing and winter-camping excursion will teach the basics of snow camping, winter travel andnavigation Jan. 16. For those inclined to stay out of the elements, instructional, entertaining moviesand slide presentations are offered. "We're trying to get more people who haven't had experience into it,"said David Duffy, equipment coordinator. "It's an educational process. Part of outdoor education isgetting people into an experience that they haven't had yet." While the majority of studentsparticipating are at a low skill level seeking to improve and learn, greater challenges are also offered for the more seasoned individual. All interested students are encouraged to participate, regardless oftheir current ability. In addition to learning a recreational skill, leadership, teamwork andcommunication skills are developed. If a student is interested in becoming a group leader, thoseopportunities are available through a leadership program. "We have pretty fantastic staff training," saidJanet Hart, outdoor center director. "We offer an incredible leadership program," she said. Prior toeach excursion, meetings are attended to discuss the specifics of the trip, such as, agenda, proper attire and equipment needs. Leaders use the time to judge the needs of each group and plan accordingly. "If you've got the motivation and you want to learn a skill, we've got the trips," said Hart. "We have verycaring leaders. They're very sensitive to people's needs." A variety of quarter-long activities are providedas well. For skiers, the Magic Bus leaves for Mount Baker at 7 a.m. each Saturday. Cost is $8. Forthose unready for the real thing, sessions on the basics of white-waterrafting and sea-kayaking safetyare offered every Thursday evening in the pool at Carver Gym. . In addition to its quarterly excursions,the center provides a bicycle shop. Bicycle maintenance clinics are held weekly during winter quarter.Experienced instructors teach the basics in evening sessions. If you don't have time for theclinic, theshop rents the tools needed to do your own maintenance and repair for $ 1. The advice is free. Thecenter also rents equipment to students, alumni, faculty and staff. Bicycle accessories, skis,snowboards, sea kayaks, mountaineering accessories and river rafts are just a few of the items available. "The equipment is something I'd like to see utilized more by students," said Hart. "It kind of saddenedmy heart when I came in here before break and there were skis hanging. We offer an incredible deal."The center's also has a resource lounge â€”a comfortable place to have coffee or tea while planning yournext trip or reading up on your favorite activity. Guide books, magazines and topographic maps areavailable from a collection of outdoor literature. There is even a check-out policy for those who need it.It's also a great place to go if you need to find a climbing partner or a scuba-diving buddy. Bulletin boards keep up-to-date information on the latest ski reports, avalanche reports and event schedules. Completeschedules and rental rates are available at the Outdoor Center, located in Viking Union 104. They areopen for business Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and Saturdays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sehome Cinema 3 presents independant film festival CrlnaHoyer staff reporter Sehome Cinema 3, at 3300Fielding St. will be hosting a series of independently released films beginning Friday, Jan. 15 andcontinuing through February. Independently-released films are productions released by small, privatestudios. They are different in that they have more depth and less formula, said Patrick Fisher, advertising coordinator for the Act III Theater. "Independent films offer a diverse audience more Faces b f ^ theHarborCenter locatedat 1801 shatter the myths surrounding less person," said Betty Young, holds themisconception that the the play comes directly from her Irui; Lawson currently lives in a non-runningtrailer.

Nockels,who has hopes the play will encourage the audience to get involved in Howard has lived in Bellinghamthe Task-Force on Housing and homelessness in Bellingham and substance and honesty," said Fisher. Due to their select audience, these types of films are generally shown exclusively in large cities. Fishersaid it's "something special" for a city the size of Bellingham to have this opportunity. He feelsBellingham has a high concentration of educated individuals who deserve some viewing alternatives. The following information about the movies was taken from a press release. "Gas Food Lodging" is basedon Richard Peck's novel "Don't Look and It Won't Hurt" and it opensJan. 15. Directed by Allison Anders,this humorous film explores how a family of women deal with men, money and each other. DirectorErrol Morris has brought Stephen Hawking's best seller, "A Brief History of Time" to the screen. This film opens Jan. 22 and runs for one week. The film illustrates the author's philosophies and exploressubjects such as black holes, the big-bang theory and real vs. 'imaginary' time. "The Hairdresser'sHusband" opens Jan. 29 and also runs for one week. This romantic film explores the subjects of sexand death through the tale of a man who dreams of being the husband of a beautician. Jeremy Ironsstars in the British drama "Waterland" which opens Jan. 29. Based on the novel by Graham Swift, this film is about a troubled high-school teacher attempting to make history relevant to his students whiledealing with his own problems from the past. Writer-director John Duigan created the film, "Flirting". This Romeo and Juliet comic-drama, set in two Australian boarding schools, opens Feb. 12. "Flirting"touches on the anxieties of young love and shows them to be ridiculous and appealing. SehomeCinemas plans to continue showing independent films in the future. Fisher said Bellingham deservesmore movie choices. Grub Chug By Dan Licari staff reporter Going out of your way for dinner cansometimes really pay! off.

The ballet will feature Antony Tudor's "Lilac Garden", GeorgeBalinchine's "Allegro Brillante", and Agnes de Mille's "Rodeo." "Allegro Brillante" is set toTchaikovsky's 3rd Piano Concerto. "Rodeo" is to dance what the musical "Oklahoma!" is to singing.(Are you ready to see cowboys pirouette or ballerinas in tooled boots?) Apropos for a date during thevalentine season is the one act ballet "Lilac Garden," a romantic tale of love and its frustrations set inan Edwardian lilac garden. (SurÂ§ to please those who enjoyed the paceandperiodof "ARoom With AView".) TheRoyalWinnipegBalletwasfounded by dance pioneers Gweneith Lloyd andBetty Farrally in1939, becoming Canada's first professional ballet company. In 1953, the RWB wasgrantedaRoyalCharterby Queen Elizabeth, the first bestowed during her reign. Since its founding, theRWB has won nearly a dozen medals, six of them gold, and four of those six were awarded within thelast decade. Canada's first great ballet continues its tradition of excellence. Attending the ballet could bea good alternative date to the standard offerings of Bellingham. Should modern students accustomedto "grunge" music and entertainment bother themselves with such "stodgy" high art as ballet? I hopethe answer is yes. Ballet, like all performances reflecting the culture and tradition of a society, is food for the soul. Are you tired of MTV mind twinkies for a mental diet? Does your brain crave vitamin B (ballet)complex? If so, take a break from the routine and watch internationally acclaimed professional athletes and fine artists perform three ballets live. Students can enjoy these three widely varied performancesfor $12. General admission is $24 and $22 for senior citizens. Tickets are available 9 a.m.-4 p.m.,Monday through Friday at the Plaza Cashier.

'Chaplin1 provides a different view of film legend Kathy Lundgren staff reporter Movies havechanged a lot through the years. They costmore, and the formats and subject matters have changeddramatically. One aspect that has not changed, and hopefully never will, is humor. That is whatCharlie Chaplin dedicated his life to. "Chaplin," directed by Richard Attenborough, is about the life ofthe silent-screen comic. Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 to a poor family in England. He grew uparound show business, and from age 5 knew that comedy and acting were his forte. He did slap-stickon stage until the American film-maker Mack Sennett saw his work and offered him a job in "flickers," orsilent films. He made his first slap-stick movie in 1914, and throughout his career was best known for his character Little Tramp. Attenborough takes you through Chaplin's life from age 5 to his death at 88 onDec. 25,1977. Robert Downey Jr. portrays Chaplin and does an excellent job. His facial expressions and movements are so like the real Chaplin you never once question who you're watching. Attenboroughcombines recreated footage with original Chaplin films to create a unity between Downey and Chaplin.Some portions of the recreated black-and-white film footage were difficult to distinguish from theoriginal. Dan Akroyd portrays the American film maker who gives Chaplin his start in pictures. UnlikeDowney, who gives an outstanding performance, Akroyd just seems like an extra. Another wastedtalentisJames Woods. Woodsportrays the attorney who tries to get Chaplin to plead guilty to apaternity suit. Woods appears on screen for maybe five minutesâ€”a waste for such a good actor.Fortunately, a few actors helped the movie. Kevin Kline portray s Douglas Fairbanks, one of Chaplin'sbest friends. The rapport between Downey and Kline was so good it made the passionate friendshipbetween Fairbanks and Chaplin much more believable. Geraldine Chaplin portrays Chaplin'smother. Inreal life she's Chaplin's daughter. She did an excellent job, and made you feel compassion for hercharacter and her family. Chaplin brought more to the screen than most people realize. He was also adirector and producer. In a career spanning two world wars, he brought his audiences muchlaughter. He was obsessed with picture making. In 1919. he created a movie studio withDouglasFairbanks and Mary Pickford known as United Artists, which is still in existence today.Chaplin's lifestyle was controversial. He married four times and had nine children. Some of his laterfilms were also controversial. During World War II, he made "The Great Dictator," a farce on Hitler. J.Edgar Hoover was outraged. He wanted Chaplin out of the country. Hoover kept an eye on every moveChaplin made, and in 1953 Chaplin was denied reentry into the United States because he wasconsidered a communist Chaplin has been misunderstood for years, and this film reminds us why why we liked him. The film shows Chaplin's passion for making films that made people laugh. Chaplin brought much to the lives of the American people. He not only formed a movie studio and created jobs,he brought hope and laughter to desperate times. Chaplin is portrayed as a rising hero in thismovie, and he should be. You will laugh at slapstick humor that is well over 50 years old, and feelcompassion for a man who was wrongly accused. "Chaplin" will bring a smile to your face and makeyou chuckle all the way home. pfoi^Albne^ Â§Jtiv^:lMi^ noinei^^ Sunset Square Cinema Ste:'"Aladdin" G "Hoffa"R "Forever Young" PG 'The Mupr^t's Christmas Carol"G "Howards End" PG "TheLover" R "Bram Stokers: Dracula" R .

The defending NAIA Division II National Champions defeated the Western men's basketball team, 88- 69 at Carver Gym.The game was close for the first 37 minutes, with Grace holding a 71 - 67 lead with three minutes to play. But the Vikings were unable to score again until six seconds remained, while the Lancers hit late freethrows and a three-point shot down the stretch to account for the final margin. "We knew what we wereup against," said forward Brian Jones. "We still had a good chance to win." The Lancers, of WinonaLake, Ind., returned four starters from last year's national-championship team and are ranked second inthe latest national poll. The Vikings got off to a quick start, taking a 12-4 lead after a slam dunk byJones. Consecutive three-pointers by guard Trent Lehman pulled the Lancers to within 12-10, and theteams played evenly the rest of the half, ending in a 40-40 tie. Grace scored the first seven points afterthe intermission en route to taking to an 11-point lead with 15:41 to play. Western fought back andstayed close the rest of the way, but the Lancers were unstoppable. "We started the second half dead," said Jones. "That's been a big problem.

The victory over the last place Seals pushed the Viking's record to 10-4, while SheldonJackson dropped to 4-14. Viking's coach Brad Jackson could not have been happy with the first- halfrebounding, when Sheldon Jackson pulled down 30 rebounds, 14 of which were in the offensive end."We did a much better job rebounding in the second half," Jackson said. "We kept them from getting so many second shots." Western blew open a six point halftime lead with a 17-5 run to start the secondhalf. Junior guard Jeff Dick was instrumental in the run. Spotting a breaking Jay Shinnick, who forced aSheldon Jackson defender to goaltend his driving shot, Dick drilled a three pointer and capped his efforts by driving the lane to collect another two. The Viking's defense was formidable throughout, forcing 22 turnovers and holding the Seals to a paltry 32 percent shooting for the game. Western collected animpressive! 2 blocked shots along with 14 steals and deflated the Seals ' with their overall quickness.Dwayne Kirkley had a strong game, leading the Vikings in scoring with 20 points and balancing hisathleticism and razzle-dazzle with good decision making. Junior Joel Duchesne scored twelvepoints anddrew praise from Jackson for his great play in the open court. Jackson also credited Jason Schmidt forthe presence he brings to the team, a presence that had been missing for almost a month sinceSchmidt went down with an injury. "It feels better than Christmas," Schmidt said of his return." But Ithink I need an oxygen mask now," he laughed.

What do you plan to do? Sleep off a hangover, do somestudying, or maybe go out with friends? Really, how does one celebrate Martin Luther King Day? Astarting point would be to remember what King stood for: equality, peace, justice, dreams, and ahost of other intangible words. The next step might be to think about the state of the world today. Thinkabout the "ethnic cleansing" andrape camps in Bosni a. Think about the not-so-distant memory of theLos Angeles riots. Think about the supporters of Measure 9 in Oregon. Afterward, it might be useful to read some of King' s words and apply them to our own lives: "When evil men plot, good men must plan.When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, goodmenmustcom-mit themselves to the glories of love."Turning the other cheek, King suggests, is easier said than done, but in the long run it's worthwhile. On a personal level, what's accomplished when we greet anger and violence with more anger and violence?When a friend refers to someone as a nigger, spic, chink, fag, or dyke and we counter by calling herasmall-minded bigot, what's been gained? Nothing, except communication has been broken down and a wall of tension has been built. Racist comments shouldn't slide without acknowledgement, but weshould use care with the tactics and words we choose to confront them. More insight might be gained by simply asking the friend why they chooses to use such language, or you could ask the friend not touse nigger, fag, etc., around you because you find them offensive and they make you uncomfortable.King said, "We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mindand a tender heart." We cannot single-handedly change the atrocities of the world, nor can we changethe archaic thinking of our peers. The situation in Bosnia most likely will culminate in violence, and ourracist friends may rightfully, though sadly, hold on to their ideologies to the grave. King's dream of anation where people will be judged on their character, not on the color of their skin, may never be areality. Still, we can create our own dreams. We can choose to eliminate certain words from ourvocabulary, we can stop associating with people who have closed minds and wide-open mouths, and wecan report the injustices we see. In effect, we can celebrate Martin Luther King Day every day. â€¢Death penalty plagued with many problems Guy Bergstrom staff reporter The State of Washingtonexercised the wrong solution to the right problem Jan. 5 by hanging Westley Allan Dodd. It is easy toafford ourselves a measure of grim satisfaction at the execution of Dodd, an unsympathetic figure whoadmitted to the sexual assault and murder of children. It is easy to feel, or want to feel, that a small blow against violent crime has been won. Far too easy. Killing Dodd was the right thing to do if we wished to extract revenge upon a hateful predator or ignore the root causes of violent crime in this society; it wasthe wrong thing to do if it was an attempt to deal with the environmentthatcausesviolent crime. The last12 years of the Reagan- Bush era has shown the failure of the politically popular criminal justicephilosophy, "the harsher the punishment the better," with volumes of state and federal legislationwritten to mandate longer prison terms and the expansion of crimes punishable by death, along withmovements to shorten the appeal process for death row inmates.

In 1992, the news was full of terrible stories of hatred and pain. We gasp in awe as we hear rumors of the mass raping of Bosnianwomen and destruction of their villages. But we slowly become immune to the horror as our eyes andears are battered again and again by phrases such as "ethnic cleansing" and "ancient tribal rivalries." We shake our heads in self-righteous disbelief as we watch shadows of a not-to-distant past re-emerge in the visage of the German youth. Neo-Nazis and skinheads scream their rage at immigrants who have takenrefuge in Germany. But it is their heritage, isn't it? In South Africa, blacks are killing blacks, whites arekilling blacks and vice versa. In northern Iraq, Kurds are killing fellow Kurds. In Afghanistan, guerrillafactions are still atwar. In Somalia, greedy warlords quarrel over power while the common people starve.Oh, and what happened in our own backyard? White cops beat a black man and the city of angels burned for days. That's a lot of bad news folks. I know you have seen it all before. That's the point! We watch allthese human lives getting wasted day after day. Increasing racial tensions mingle with the catch words"multiculturalism" and "diversity." No wonder disappointment and frustration soon spawn anger and moreviolence. And bingo, we've made more bad news. A rap singer aptly stated that the only way African-Americans and their causes get noticed is when they incite violence. Face it people, we are all stuck inthis country. We must find a way to make different cultures, races, religions and ethnicities coexistpeacefully. We can see the effects of "ethnic cleansing." The Serbians, Bosnians, Somalians, Kurds,etc. have set a bad example. Let's not follow it. News is something unusual. News is somethingshocking. News Is an event of great importance. Wouldn't it be unusual, shocking and important news ifyou turned oh your television and saw blacks and whites investing in inner-city businesses side by side,Asians-Americans and Hispanics educating each other about their cultures, Native Americans and EastIndians building housing developments together? Martin Luther King Jr. didn't die in vain, did he? At least once a year, we should be able to express our dreams. If we all put our petty grievances aside andrealize we have to make the best of an imperfect situation, we CAN get along. It's up to all of us to makesome good news. Let's do it. Put away those bitter thoughts and think clearly of ways you can improvethis planet. Don't think of it as weakness. Think of it as survival. The alternative is genocide.

More thanincarceration is needed to protect society Troy Schauls staff reporter It has been one-and-one-halfweeks since Westley Allan Dodd joined his victims in death. And once again, the "morality" of capitalpunishment has become a topic of heated and apparently unwinnable debate. If we take a closer lookat what the.real effects of capital punishment are, it may become clearer why this instrument of thedark side of the criminal justice system is still a necessity. The crimes which Dodd committed wereunpardonable acts of violence. It is also a matter of record that Dodd stated he enjoyed thesegrievous acts and vowed that, if given the chance, he would rape and kill again. Until medical sciencediscovers a way to provide 100 percent assurance that sexual predators and serial murderers willnever kill orrapeagain, we have no other option but to continue to enforce the death penalty. It may not beenough, in certain cases like Dodd's, to simply incarcerate a criminal for life. Prisons as they exist today do not guarantee an inmate will never escape. The inmates most likely to escape are those mostintelligentThe more intelligent prisoners tend to be serial killers or rapists, which is evident by the factthat they were able to evade capture. It would be a tragedy for a criminal like Dodd to escape andbring horror to another child and family. It is too easy to argue that we, as humans, create life and,therefore, do not have the right to take it away, or that two wrongs (an execution of a murderer) do notmake a right. Society has an absolute right to protect itself from dangerous and deadly elements.Capital punishment is, on a purely pragmatic level, no more than eliminating a real threat. Granted, I donotbelieve the threat of capital punishment is in any way a deterrent to those who commit acts such asthis, but neither is life imprisonment I firmly believe extraordinarily vicious serial murderers andrapists cannot be cured at this point. The Seattle Post Intelligencer recently reported that it costs over $30,000 a year to keep an inmate in prison. It is not to say that human life can or should be measured in dollars, but it's a realistic consideration, however objectionable we may find it. Even more importantly,on a moral and emotional level, capital punishment has been seen to provide a much needed sense ofclosure to the families of victims. The parents of the three boys Dodd murdered expressed a sense ofrelief in knowing Dodd will never be able to bring this kind of destruction to another innocent life. Capitalpunishment is indeed a subject which can bring out the blackest elements in all of us. Westley AllanDodd is how gone, and from death there is no possibility of escape and no possibility of parole. Deathrow costly, prejudicial Andrew Pendli staff reporter Washington State executed Westley Allan DoddJan. 5, the first person executed in this state in 30 years. In the final days before his execution, thecourts were bombarded with last-ditch legal efforts to stay Dodd's execution. This legal barrage was byno means an isolated incident. The average death row inmate in America spends eight years on deathrow. Since 1972,42 percent of those who filed federal appeals won new trials or vacated sentences. Li1976, a U.S. Supreme Court decision reinstated the death penalty after a four year hiatus. As of May1992,167 inmates had been executed. 2,547 inmates remained ondeathrow. Perhaps Americans toleratesuch an ineffective system because they believe that capital punishment serves as a deterrent. In1990,23,438 people were slain in America. In Canada, where no one has been executed in 30 years andthe death penalty was eliminated in 1976,589 people were killed in the same year. Yet besides beinggrossly inefficient and costly, the process of placing an individual on death row is also prejudicial. rIn a report made by the General Accounting Office to the Senate and House judiciary committees, "...in82 percent of the (28) studies, race of victim was found to influence the likelihood of being charged withcapital murder or receiving the death penalty." In Utah, 25 percent of death row inmates are black, yetblacks account for only 0.5 percent of Utah's population. The question concerning capital punishmentis not about the morality of state sponsored executions. With the diversity of America, that debate willnever reach a consensus. The real issue is the continuing existence and use of a system that is racial,ineffective and more costly than its alternative, life imprisonment Money that could be used to fight thebattle against crime at the source is wasted after-the-fact, in an attempt to find justice in a system that is more process than an attempt to discover the truth. It is time to do away with capital punishmentDeath penalty, continued from page 9 they're finished. What it has done is cost a tremendous amountof money. Politicians never point out that their support of the death penalty and longer prison sentenceswill cost the taxpayers dearly â€” about $30,000 a year for one inmate and millions of dollars in courtcosts and legal fees for those on death row. In the midst of the decade's long fight over theconstitutionality of the death penalty, we have lost sight of the question of practicality. Capital sentences lead to long legal challenges costing millions of dollars with no magic reform possible to hasten theprocess and still safeguard the innocent And by the government's own admission, dozens of innocentcitizens have been mistakenly executed. The death penalty is racially applied. In evidencepresented before the Supreme Court, a black man who kills a white person is 11 times more likely toreceive the death penalty than a white killer whose victim is black. In a 5-4 decision, the majority agreedthe death penalty was meted out in a racist manner, but that such "apparent disparities in sentencingare an inevitable part of our criminal justice system." The U.S. holds the dubious distinction of beingboth the most violent nation in the world and one of the last of the Western democracies to continuethe practice of killing its citizens. These two facts may not be unrelated: We frown upon the old practiceof punishing thieves in Turkey by chopping off their hands. How is breaking their necks any better?The state legitimizes the act of murder. At least in some degree when the state uses the death penalty,encouraging our blood-lust and fostering an eye-for-an-eye mentality, ft is legitimizing murder. Aquick fix makes us feel temporarily that something is being done while the underlying problemscontinue to fester. Time to stop killing. ---------- Western Front - 1993 January 15 - Page 11 ---------- January 15,1993 LETTERS The Western Front 11 Anti-discrimination law assures equal not special rights Dear Kevin (Issues/Opinions editor), I am the editor of a new monthly newsletter in Skagit County called the Skagit Gay News. I monitor several local "straight" publications watching for items that feel pro or anti gay. I was surprised to find homophobia or at best a misunderstanding of gay issues withColorado' s Amendment 2 in your student newspaper. I wish to express another view of this issue.Homosexuals in the western culture are an oppressed minority and regularly experience discriminationin housing and employment. The law does not recognize same sex monogamous relationships. I amnot making up these facts. I know many gay people in my community who are experiencing harassment simply for being gay. One neighborhood here tried to prevent a local lesbian from moving into a newhome she bought According to the petition, neighbors expressed the fear that she would conduct wildparties ather house with lewd public sexuality on display in her front yard. How many heterosexuls doyou know that deal with that kind of problem when they buy a home? Our organization has avoicemailnumber that is public information. We regularly get prank phone call on it that are mocking and cruel.How many straight organizations get that kind of call on their answering machine? Other thanconvicted felons, what other group do you know that is denied the opportunity to serve in the military? Ifa person is openly gay, and runs for office, do you believe they really have an equal chance of gettingelected? How about in the South? For that matter, shouldn't we also deny African Americans their"special rights?" Anti-discrimination laws are on the books to address the need of an oppressed minority group to assure them equal rights, not special rights. It guarantees that it is indeed illegal todiscriminate against a particular group. On a recent "Nightline" program discussing the Coloradoboycott, Bay Buchanan (Pat Buchanan's sister) said that she didn't practice discrimination and shesupported the amendment She stated she felt it protected her rights to rent property to or to hirewhomever she wanted to keep up her level of standards. Hiring or renting to homosexuals was not inkeeping with those standards. Sounds like discrimination to me. The gay community here in SkagitCounty is very closeted. The reason is fear of discrimination. Having specific anti-discrimination lawson the books that assures us we have equalnghts under the law would help to reduce that fear and theimmense pain it causes. It would help bring all of the community together by strengthening everyone'scommitment to true equality of all people, no exceptions. The sentiment behind the passage oflaws such as Amendment 2 is not kind or understanding. These bills are backed by radicalfundamentalist Christian groups who use hate, fear and misunderstanding to win sentiment for theircauses. I believe the master of that tactic was Hitler. He stirred up anti-Semitic embers into a fire ofdestruction which began in much the same way as the fundamentalists are doing with gay issuestoday. I know that this country will not allow homosexuals or any other group to be "marched off to the gas chambers." What does end up happening is there is an increase in hate crimes toward gays.Because it is not easy to spot homosexuals unless they are behaving very stereotypically, manystraight people have been beaten or killed because their attackers perceived that they were gay. I know a man in Seattle who has a chronic disease that has left him frail looking. He has been mistaken for agay man and bashed on several occasions. I'd call that discrimination. What Amendment 2 does do, ispreclude ahomosexual's right to claim and win acase against an employer or a landlord whodiscriminates against them on the basis of their sex lives. It makes a strong statement thatdiscrimination in any form is not okay. If people do not practice integrity in their conduct, rules andlaws are needed to insure safety for the group bearing the brunt of another group's choices. I'm not surehow willing you are to listen to or have compassion for the gay community in your area. I know there aresome gay groups on your campus. Wouldyou be willing to ask them some questions about the reality of their lives? Perhaps if you heard all sides of the story, you might change your mind about us and whatwe are asking for. Sincerely, Roberta G. Hochreiter U.S. bashing based on passion, incomplete factsDear editor, This letter is in response to the editorial "Foreign Aid Should Take back Seat to U.S.Problems"by Chong Kim. Once again a liberal writer of your staff has written an editorial bashing UnitedStates policies and using incorrect evidence in the process. First of all, Operation Restore Hope is amulti-national operation. French, Italian and Belgian troops are also in Somalia. Also the U.S. is not theonly country to enforce United Nations resolutions.There areno U.S. troops in Bosnia-Herzogovinaalthough the United Nations is active in that state. For years Canadian troops have operated overseasin U.N. operations. Mr. Kim also states that "the United States is in a recession." This is true, but therest of the western world is also in this recession. Japan has seen its Nikkei Index at its lowest levels inmore than five years. The western European nations have a higher unemployment rate than the U.S. Infact most economists agree that the U.S. was the leastdamaged as a result of the recession. Finally Mr. Kim attempts to blame a 14 percent increase in Western's tuition next year on the nation's problems.The basic fact is that Gov. Gardner's ludicrous budget request and lower trade in this state, due to aglobal recession, has caused the college funds to diminish and therefore our percentage of thecost torise. The action in Somalia is such a tremendous undertaking that no nation except the U.S. has theresources to succeed in this mission and save the starving men, women and so many children in thatcountry. Just because Somalia is far away does not mean it should be ignored. I hope that in the futurewriters such as Mr. Kim can write using facts instead of using their hearts. Passion is a wonderful thing. In fact we need only to look to Somalia and Operation Restore Hope to see passion in action. Butpassion in writing tends to lead to confusion between the facts and what a person wishes to see as thetruth. Bill McCoy p i llil WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDS liillililiiii EASY WORK!

Heavy snowfall the day before blanketed the town in up to 15 inches of snow and ice, closing many store! and businesses, city government, and even Western and otherjbcal schools. Snowfall began early Sunday1 'morning and stayed strong until about 10 p.m. Many businesses began shutting down Sunday due to dangerous driving conditions. "I was supposed to work a closing^shift at Old Navy," Western junior Brandi Cole said. "But the mall closed at 4:30 p.m., so I got to play in the snow instead." By noon the roads were covered in snow and ice, and cars were sliding into ditches and getting ;stuck. "I tried to drive to the store and my car didn?t make it out of my driveway," Western junior Kim Coulter said. "Now it's sitting on the street buried in snow." Many people gave up on cars that day and walked where they needed to go. "Walking wasn't much better," Coulter said. "I walked to Haggen and it was the worst thing even With the wind and the snow, it hurt so bad I was almost crying." Western president Karen Morse and vice president George Pierce made the decision on Sunday to close the university Monday due to Above: Former Western student Nick Ennen launches clear over the Stadium Piece sculpture using a highspeed winch system known as the Grinch.

'"Closing the school is a really big decision that the president has to make." The last time Western closed was in January of 2005 because of ice on the roads. The heavy snowfall also made it difficult for a lot of students to get back into town after the Thanksgiving weekend. seeSMIW page 8 â€¢ New building will house animal testing labs G.S. Raugust THE WESTERN FRONT It is an unlikely place for potentially life-saving research to occur, but down a skinny stairway in Miller Hall, past a sign that reads "restricted access," that is exactly what is happening. Visitors walking into Western's widely-debated animal research labs on the bare concrete floors beneath exposed pipes and wires might never have a clue they are entering an area where arguably some of the most crucial research on campus is being done. Built in 1943, Miller Hall is one of the oldest buildings on campus. In the basement labs, scientists spend long hours researching topics such as schizophrenia and drug/alcohol addiction, in a lack of natural lighting and ventilation. But Western researchers won't be stuck in the dark for much longer. The Academic Instructional Center (AIC), scheduled to be completed just south of the Communications Facility in fall 2008, will house new human and animal research labs, updating and expanding Western's neuroscience program to make it safer and more comfortable for the animals and scientists. "Poor lighting and the absence of natural light . is not optimal for areas where people spend their entire workday," Western behavioral neuroscience professor Janet Finlay wrote in an e-mail. see LAB page 4 â€¢ w e s t e r n f r o n t o n l i n e . c om ---------- Western Front 2006-11-28 - Page 2 ---------- The Western Front WesternFrontOnline.com TUESDAY November 28, 2006 'AGE 2 Bellingham residents Bill Watts and son, Liam, sled down the hill outside Old Main on Nov. 26.

Western senior Chad Weldy received third place for his research on lipid production by microalgae for the use of biodiesel in a competition comprised completely of graduate students except for himself. Two teams of eight Huxley students from Western's chapter of the Air and Waste Management Association took first and second place in the conference's environmental challenge. Students had to come up with their own proposals of how to accommodate a hypothetical biodiesel plant in downtown Victoria, British Columbia and give recommendations on how Vancouver Island can reach its goal of 75 percent energy self-sufficiency by 2020, said Linda McGuiness, Western senior and environmental challenge participant. Brad Smith, Dean of Huxley said the achievements of these students reflect on the department's focus on alternative fuels. "Our program is directed at the future across the board," he said. "Biofuels are part of the future and these students are the future leading policy makers." Steve Rybolt, student program chair for PNWIS, said the goal of these conferences is to provide a forum for discussion and education on environmental concerns facing the region. , Weldy's presentation consisted of a 20-minute lecture in front of 40 to 45 professionals on the research he did over the summer at his internship at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory Department in Sequim. Weldy said he felt fairly confident going into the conference even though he was facing graduate students. Science conference in San Francisco. Rybolt, who founded the Western chapter of the Air and Waste Management Association in 2003, said he is impressed by the work of the students who participated in the environmental challenge. "I am always cheering them on," he said. "They are a great group of students â€” they are definitely going somewhere." Rybolt works as an air quality specialist for the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency. He graduated from Western in 2005 with a Masters in geography with an emphasis on resource management and environmental policy. "It was an awesome experience," said Jamey Stoddard, Western senior and environmental challenge participant. "There is nothing like getting your name out there and showing professionals what kind of work you can do." "I definitely felt like they had an advantage because they had more time for research," he said. "They had years to prepare while I had 10 weeks." His research found that with high amounts of lipids produced by the microalgae species Dunaliella salina, if mass cultured, could be an economically valuable source for renewable oil and biodiesel. The first place Huxley team won $1,400 for its proposal of temporarily importing the raw oil from feedstock used to make biodiesel from the mainland while developing technology to produce biofuel from algae and plant matter. The group also proposed using conservation techniques such as green building technologies as well as the construction of offshore wind farms to meet the energy needs of the island. The second place Huxley team won $1,000 and took a different approach. After finding the location on Victoria's waterfront not suitable for the biodiesel plant due to zoning and soil contamination, the team proposed moving the . location of the plant to the industrial port of Nanaimo on the east side of the island. McGuiness said by moving the plant to Nanaimo the plant could also be used to power the rail line that runs up the east side of the island â€” if it was made electric. Since the rail line runs through the agricultural area of the island it could provide easier access to feedstock such as oil seed and soy beans, which can be used for biofuels.

The labs in Miller Hall have limitations that do not impact animal welfare, but impact the teaching needs of Western professors, she said. For instance, the labs do not have a cage or bottle washer, which limits the number of experimental animals that can be accommodated since the cleaning must be done by hand, Finlay said. Overhead noise can disturb measurements, there are no walk-in refrigeration or freezer units for storage, and there is no emergency power â€” which meant that to prepare for a power outage during a mid-November windstorm, dry-ice had to be packed into the facility to make sure frozen specimens stayed that way, she said. There is also no teaching laboratory space. All of these limitations will be addressed by the design of the new building, Finlay said. The fifth floor of the Academic Instructional Center will have five 735-square-foot animal research lab suites, each with a surgery room, behavioral testing rooms and a central research area. Controversy In 1999 members of the Animal Liberation Front broke into and vandalized the Miller Hall labs, releasing four rabbits and 37 white rats on campus. The animals had never lived outside of captivity and probably all died, said Western psychology professor and researcher Mike Mana. "It often isn't as liberating as they'd like it to be," Mana said. Besides the moral implications of experimenting on living beings, the main contention for Western Animal Rights Network (WARN) president Shawn Herbold is that public money is being spent on the labs. "The money could go to way more important things on campus â€” better food, raises for teachers, other facilities students use more often," Herbold said. "It just seems like a very wasteful endeavor." However, for every dollar in grants that Western researchers receive, the school gets money to cover the costs of research, Finlay said. Research does bring in grants, but it's just the wrong thing to do ethically, said Western professor of management* information systems Chris Sandvig, a member of WARN. "There's a lot of research money available for it, but animals feel pain just like humans feel pain â€” we think it's a poor use of money, unethical and of dubious scientific merit," Sandvig said. "Scientifically, it's very difficult to extrapolate how animals behave to how it affects people." There have been cases where a drug has been released for use by people after testing that turned out to have negative side-effects because people are different than animals, Herbold said. The medication Thalidomide is just one case of many where a drug caused humans harm even after extensive animal testing. In the late 1950s doctors started giving Thalidomide to pregnant women to combat morning sickness. After six years of using the drug, approximately 10,000 children were born with severe deformities that were traced back to it. Despite having been tested on more than 50 types of animals, there was no way to know the devastating effects the The issues are important enough drug would have on human to warrant investigation, but it's impossible to do that kind of work on humans for ethical reasons/' - Mike Mana, Western psychology professor and researcher "We think it's a poor use of money, unethical and of dubious scientific merit" - Chris Sandvig, member of Western Animal Rights Network // children. "Nobody is saying a rat is the same as a human â€” there are many differences in the nervous systems," Mana said. "But there are also many similarities." The way cells function, the chemicals used to communicate in the brain and how one part of the brain is connected to another are all similarities that research scientists use, Mana said. "The issues are important enough to warrant investigation, but it's impossible to do that kind of work on humans for ethical reasons," Mana said. "WARN would extend that to all species." Students who are opposed to this sort of research need to voice their opinion and let the school know, Herbold said. Research at Western Although Western is not a major research facility like the University of Washington, important research does take place here, said Geri Walker, director of the Office of Research and Special Programs at Western. The Office of Research and Special Programs oversees all research on campus and coordinates the Animal Care and Use Committee, a six-member committee that includes experts in a variety of fields such as a veterinarian, an environmental health and safety specialist, and someone who is not affiliated with the university. All research applications, or protocols, at Western must be approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee. Twice a year the committee inspects all animal research facilities on campus to make sure the facilities, are clean, the animals are well cared for, and the researchers are keeping the appropriate records and following their approved protocols. "The researchers have to convince us that there are no alternatives to using the animal, and we provide them with online sources to search for alternatives," Walker said. "If they indicate that anything they are doing is going to cause pain or distress, they have to document the searches they've done, and justify if and why alternatives aren't appropriate for the research being conducted." For the academic year that ended in June, there were nine protocols submitted to the committee and seven were approved, Walker said. "The committee frequently asks for revisions, clarifications and/or changes in the actual procedures to make sure the animals are treated and cared-for properly," Walker said. "Taking care of animals in research is extremely important for good science â€” it's to nobody's benefit not to provide the utmost care." Most of the research is funded by peer-reviewed grants from federal agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, and private research foundations, Walker said. "When we receive federal funding we're required to follow federal regulations, but the university even goes beyond those regulations," Walker said. "Most federal policies cover warm-blooded vertebrate animals, but the Western policy covers all vertebrate animals whether the project is externally funded or not." Construction on the Academic Instructional Center is scheduled to begin in March 2008. The approximately 120,000-square-foot building will house not only the psychology department's human and animal research labs, but also lecture rooms, faculty offices, computer labs and the Communication Sciences and Disorders department. cyber fiber WesternFrontOnline.com CI' I Â»*!

ISiilS^BiSS^iiittB ---------- Western Front 2006-11-28 - Page 5 ---------- WesternFrontOnline.com NEWS Tuesday, November 28, 2006 I 5 Bellingham prepared in event of a tsunami Lauren Ross THE WESTERN FRONT Tsunami. A word we all know. But is Bellingham prepared for what it involves? On Nov. 15, the National Weather Service issued a tsunami warning for California, Oregon and Washington following an 8.1 magnitude earthquake near Japan. The warning was canceled more than four hours later. Don Boyd, Director of Whatcom County Division of Emergency Management, said that most of Bellingham would not be threatened by a tsunami. "Everyone at Western should be fine as long as they're not at Boulevard Park," Boyd said. Boyd said if a tsunami does occur, the management team is prepared. Emergency management is solely responsible for notifying the majority of the waterfront areas, as well as the police and fire departments in the event of a crisis. By using an automated telephone system, they are able to call 6,000 phone numbers per minute. If phone lines are not, operating, loud speakers and sirens would be used to alert residents. "Our first priority is to make sure the people are safe, then we worry about the rest," Boyd said. A tsunami is caused by a rapid displacement of water, most commonly caused by an underwater earthquake, geology assistant teacher Jackie Caplan- Auerbach said. The speed of a tsunami depends on the depth of the water. Tsunamis are at their fastest in the middle of the ocean and as they move closer to shore their speed decreases. "Imagine it as a bunch of people jogging at the same speed and the person in front slows down," Caplah-Auerbach said. "Suddenly everyone piles into each other and ends up in a big heap." As tsunamis slow, water begins to pile up and the height increases. "Since a tsunami's wavelength is likely to be miles long, it acts like a rapid tide that continues to approach the beach for 20 minutes sometimes," Caplan- Auerbach said. A tsunami is not just one wave, but multiple, Caplan-Auerbach said. People need to realize the first one is certainly not the last. Bellingham Fire Department Chief Bill Boyd said as soon as the department is notified it begins its emergency response plan. Crews use a pre- planned route to check on locations with anticipated damages. The results of the territorial routes are relayed to a dispatcher and used primarily to assess damage and provide immediate assistance to areas that need it most.

Being prepared for such an event is also important, Bill Boyd said. He encourages all residents to have enough supplies available to be self-sufficient for a week, along with a battery-powered radio. "You will be relying on your neighbors in the event of a disaster for a period of time," Bill Boyd said. "We can't respond to everyone's needs all at once, so take care of yourself first and your neighbors second." David Hale, a "watch stander" for the Washington Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said it is important to be aware of the possibility of a tsunami because Washington sits on the Cascadia Fault line. "Whether or not one of the fault lines is going to rupture is something no one can predict," Hale said. If. a warning is issued, Hale said residents who live by the coast are recommended to seek refuge at least a mile inland and 100 ft. above sea level in a concrete structure or a high-rise building. Director of the warning center, Paul Whitmore said that the last significant tsunami was in 1964 that sprang from an earthquake iri Alaska. Warm clothing collected for the needy Amanda Downs THE WESTERN FRONT Circle K, a community service club at Western, helped curb the winter chill by handing out soup and warm clothing at its monthly outreach event on Tuesday. The club gave out coats and mittens donated by students, along with the regular soup and sandwiches, to the needy in Bellingham. The club held a warmth drive Nov. 21 in Red Square to collect coats and other items to give to the needy. The event occurred before the temperature dropped and snowfiakes took over the city. Donations from students included hats, scarves, mittens, sweaters, socks, coats and blankets. Some students donated money that was used to purchase socks and mittens. Circle K has held blanket drives in the past, but this year the club decided to accept winter clothing as well. "We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to donate," said Nikki Olson, vice president of membership for Circle K and coordinator for the warmth drive. "Blankets may be too expensive for a student to purchase, but a pair of mittens or a scarf may be something they can afford." see CLOTHES page 6 â€¢ THE LEGEND IS GHOWING ONLY IN THEATERS DECEMBER 1BT sisiiiiiis pfiiii llfÂ» ; S I I I L I Iâ„¢ WWW.RISEOFTAJ.COM WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDS SELL! lt;S50-31Â«S1 ---------- Western Front 2006-11-28 - Page 6 ---------- 6 | Tuesday, November 28, 2006 NEWS The Western Front Winter blast prevents many students from returning to Bellingham after 4-day Thanksgiving weekend â€¢ SNOW from 1 Western freshman Jacob Zarnecki took the train from his hometown of Poulsbo to Bellingham. What was supposed to be a two- hour trip turned into a four-hour ordeal. "The electronic switches that tell the train when and where to go weren't working right because of the snow," Zarnecki said. "It took forever." Once students on the train finally reached Bellingham, it was a struggle to get rides home. "My suitemate was supposed to pick me up, but his car got stuck in the snow," Zarnecki said. "I didn't make it into my dorm until 11 p.m." Western junior Sharayah Lewis left Everett by car with her roommate at 2 p.m. and didn't make it back to Bellingham Until almost 10 p.m. "We sat 10 miles outside of Bellingham for over two hours," Lewis said. "It was fun at first. People were getting out of their cars and playing in the snow. Then it started to get dark and we were hungry and cold and had to use the bathroom." Lewis and her roommate were unsure of how long they would be waiting, or even why. "We think there was a wreck," Lewis said. "We saw a snow plow, a tow truck and a police SUV while we were waiting." Local news radio station KGMI aired unconfirmed reports of a downed tree blocking the freeway, a jackknifed semitruck, and multiple instances of cars sliding off the freeway. Even Bellingham city government closed down for the day. An announcement on its Web site stated that only essential employees need report for work, while everyone else should remain at home. However, students and community members could still get around in the snow. Buses were running normally, said Whatcom Transit Authority employee Shelley Davis. "The only buses not running are the 90s, which are the ones that run to Western." Davis said. "We shut those down when the school is closed." While the snow caused an inconvenience for some, others were enjoying the free day. Students could be seen on some roads sledding, throwing snowballs, skiing and snowboarding. "I love the snow," Coulter said. "I'm so glad to be out of school. I get to play around in it." Some students used the day off as time to catch up. "It's like that episode of The Simpsons where Bart prays for a snow day because he didn't do his homework," Western junior Xandra Lauch said. "God knew I needed a snow day."

The program also hands out warm clothing during the winter. Jeanne Brotherton, the outgoing coordinator for CAST, said the program started six years ago when people from local Lutheran churches and Jewish synagogues wanted to help out the growing number of street kids in Bellingham. "They set it up every Tuesday downtown, and anyone in need could come and get something to eat, no questions asked," Brotherton said. The weekly event drew a huge turnout. "It soon became obvious that one day a week wasn't enough," Brotherton said. CAST now operates Monday through Thursday evenings year round, and Western clubs, including Circle K, continue to support the program. "We are regular participants in CAST, and they always need more donations for clothes," Olson said. Olson said Circle K's first choice to donate to was CAST. "I like CAST because I can actually directly give someone in need a meal and clothing or blankets," Olson said. "I know it is going to those most desperate." Peace Arch Lieutenant Governor Barbara Bryant said she sees whole families coming to CAST in need of help. "We might have a coat lying around in our closet that doesn't matter too much to us, but it would mean a lot to someone else," Bryant said. Although the drive in Red Square has ended, Olson said Circle K will accept donations during the club's meetings at 7 p.m. every Tuesday in Viking Union room 567.

Campfire smoke lingered in the crisp air and light rain sprinkled the ground. Children, men and women chatted with friends under the moonless sky, some with their belongings piled nearby. The gathering looked like a neighborhood party, except it included the Western chapter of The Inn Ministries, a Christian service organization. The Inn organized a winter-jacket clothing drive to help the homeless combat cold weather, said Western graduate Theresa Garpine, an Inn intern. Many of Bellingham's residents do not have a warm dry place to live and take shelter under bridges, trees and bus stpps, she said. Nov. 18, student leaders at the Inn took students for the first time to volunteer at Salt on the Street, a local service group organized by Cornwall Church to aid the homeless community in Whatcom County. Every Saturday Salt on the Street raises its tents across from the bus terminal and volunteers provide food, warmth and company for those in need. The Inn delivered the winter jackets from the clothing drive, said Western junior Tyler Chang, a human services major and student leader for the Inn. Approximately 40 Western students helped the organization under the tents and in the community, said Western senior Serina Holmstrom, a student leader at the Inn.

In the ninth annual WWU Chuck Randall Thanksgiving Men's Basketball Classic this past weekend, these goals proved to work as the team had a 96-88 win over Northwest University Friday night and a 77-67 win over Grand Canyon University Saturday night at Carver Gym. The team won the tournament with a 2-0 record. Senior center Lukas Henne was named the tournament's most valuable player and sophomore guard Ira Graham was named to the all-tournament team. Both games were comebacks for the Vikings. The Vikings were down 35-31 going into halftime against Grand Canyon, shooting only 30 percent on the field compared to Grand Canyon's 43.3 percent.

"But we hung with it and had some big shots when we needed to and had some big stops in the second half." Sixteen minutes in to the second half, Henne tied up the score with a three-point shot. The score was tied six more times in the following eight minutes, before the Vikings pulled ahead 61-59 with a lay-up by Calin Schell at 7:01. The Vikings kept their lead for the rest of the game, with a three-point shot by freshman Brandon Williams, a slam dunk by Henne, multiple lay-ups and two completed free throw shots by Graham. Henne said despite the wins, the team needs to work on playing hard throughout the game and not be dependant on comebacks. "We need to focus on coming out strong right off the bat and scaring the other team off with our intensity," Henne said. Henne had a game high 27 points in Saturday's game. Calin Schell, sophomore, had a game-high 12 rebounds. Graham had game-high and career-high scoring Friday" night with 27 points. Graham said the tournament was a big team win, especially being such a young team. "Each day we're getting better and better," Graham said. "This was a great tournament for us." The tournament is named for former Viking basketball coach Chuck Randall.

Unless he or she has set foot in one of Western's restrooms. In this case, the stall occupant might be enticed to engage in a chicken-scratched war of words with an anonymous Bush-hater or Manticore legionnaire claiming that particular stall as his or her master's territory. Bathroom stall writing isn't vandalism â€” it's free speech and pure artistic entertainment at its finest. In grade school it was a contest to see who could scribe the largest iteration of the F-word, and in middle school it was who kissed whom. But in college, the wild world of bathroom stall scrawling has evolved from childish outbursts to political arguments, mythological references and witty fecal jokes, all of which make for a good read when a newspaper isn't within immediate reach. To the dismay of stall readers everywhere, the day always comes when the paint shop, which is responsible for all the painting done on campus, makes its rounds and scrubs away these priceless words, leaving nothing to look at but a shoddy paint job. Much like Red Square has its free speech area and the Viking Union has its free speech board, the partitions in Western's restrooms should be an uncensored outlet for anonymous free speech because the results come more from the heart then any agenda-driven Red Square protest. Western's policy on the clean-up of bathroom vandalism and vandalism in general is non-existent, said Western Paint Shop supervisor Ron Henspeter. Henspeter said the paint shop doesn't search for graffiti or vandalism. The employees deal with it when someone "Bathroom stall writing isn't vandalism â€” it's free speech and pure artistic entertainment at its finest/' reports it, he said. The problem with this policy, or rather lack of a policy, is that what is offensive is all in the eye of the beholder. Some people may take offense at people protesting in Red Square with eight-foot wide posters of aborted fetuses or a man telling them they're going to hell because they love their pet more then Jesus, but .the paint shop doesn't run out and toss buckets of white paint on them. Richard McCrae-Lauba, a .Western junior and library employee, said he has seen his fair share of stalls around the library. The majority of the writing in bathrooms is either jokes or debates, and rarely does he see something extremely offensive, he said. The content on partitions varies from building to building, but the hotbed of scribing seems to come from the restrooms in Western's libraries. Long hours of studying lead students into a delirious frenzy, and the results are undoubtedly comical. The most creative in stall humor has to be "grout talk," where stall occupants insert an iteration of the .word "grout," into a sentence and write it in the grout between tiles. Examples include "Oscar the grout," "Grout it, grout it, grout it out loud," "Grout St. Helens," which are scattered all over the wall in the bathroom on the bottom floor of Haggard Hall. Comments such as these are what keep students sane after long hours of boring textbook reading. The flip side of a call for bathroom stall free speech is that such speech is controversial. It is important for Western to be a presentable university. Henspeter said he estimates his staff spends more than 80 hours cleaning grafitti from the bathrooms per year, at a cost of approximately $3,500. The answer isn't to let graffiti just go wild, but to find better means of dealing with it. . The vandalism and artwork won't go away and it's ridiculous to waste so much money each year cleaning.it up when the installation of a white board or dry-erase or chalkboard paint would lead to easy fixes with the swipe of wet two-cent paper towel. The bathroom stall artists and debaters should continue their quest, whatever it may be. They say people do the best cartoon by Tristan Hobson THE WESTERN FRONT thinking on the John, and this brand of artwork and ranting shows it's better than the rest of the so-called free speech artists on campus. Red Square made for student protests On Nov. 16, approximately 200 people wearing red lay down in Red Square for five minutes in a "die-in" to advocate U.S. Frontline editorials reflect the opinion of the editorial board and not the staff or advertisers troop withdrawal from of The Western Front. the war in Iraq. While some passers by sympathized with and even joined the-demonstrators, some became annoyed by the presence of the people in red because they disagreed with their message or thought the demonstrators were ineffective cop-outs. We may not always agree with the message various protesters in Red Square shove in our faces, but it is important that those messages are shared. Where would we be if college students had not joined others in the Civil Rights movement protesting the treatment of minorities and women in the United States? Where would we be if students had not gone on strike after the Ohio National Guard fired on students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University killing four students? Critics of college campus protests such as the Nov. 16 Die-in against the war in Iraq might argue that the university is not a place for such protests to be held because some protests would be better aimed directly at the government, either by protesting in Olympia or in Washington, D.C. However, protests are suited for an educational environment. A university is supposedly the place where we learn how to live in the outside world. Protesting is a part of that world. The right to assemble as a community and the right to petition the government for a redress of wrongs are included in the Bill of Rights. These rights are a privilege, and a necessity. Red Square has traditionally been a forum to protest whatever students feel is wrong with the world. Without Red Square, what forum here would we have to reach the entire student body? In May 2003, a student used Red Square to protest the cover of the Winter 2003 Blue Book, which she felt objectified women, according to a May 30, 2003 Western Front article. Approximately 750 people â€” Western students, high school students and Bellingham residents â€” filled Red Square as part of a walkout, rally and march to the Bellingham Federal Building to protest the war in Iraq in April 2003, according to an April 8, 2003 Western Front article. The College Republicans used Red Square for a pro-Iraq war rally in November 2001, according to a Nov. 15, 2001 Western Front article. Red Square is not a forum only for liberals or only for conservatives. It is not a forum only for crazy men waving signs telling us we are going to hell if we don't immediately love Jesus. Red Square is a forum for all of us. seeFROHTUNEpagett^ ---------- Western Front 2006-11-28 - Page 14 ---------- 14 | Tuesday, November 28, 2006 OPINION The Western Front Raise the student technology fee Kamryn Masters THE WESTERN FRONT Western seems to have made access to advanced technology for its students a top priority. In 2001, Yahoo last published its list of the nation's "100 most wired colleges" with Western rising nineteen spots from 88th in 1999 to 59th. If Western wishes to continue climbing the ranks of this illustrious list, it is time for the student government to raise the Student Technology Fee. According to the Western Web site, students pay $17 per quarter for the technology fee, supplemented by $150,000 from the university, as well as smaller amounts of money from departmental and grant programs. Western's technology fee amounts to less than half of the $35 per quarter Washington State University students pay, according to the Western Web site. Coincidentally enough, the only other school in Washington state to outrank Western on the "100 most wired colleges" list is Washington State University. This year the technology fee helped fund the replacement and/ or addition of two-hundred fifty computers, said Rod Galbraith, Assistant Director of Classroom and Compute^l^:-SemG'es'at'Western. John Lawson, vice provost for information technology, said with the mounting costs of replacing and repairing the technology Western already owns, students find themselves in the unfortunate situation where maintenance of said technology threatens to consume the majority of funds available. Lawson said if the technology fee is not raised Western students will find themselves running the risk of either slowing down the rate of technological innovation here at Western or degrading the current technology because Western cannot afford to upgrade or repair its computers and other technologies. The student government also has to be sure they don't just throw money at the issue. Despite the fact that the University of Washington students pay a technology fee of $40 per quarter, UW does not appear on the "100 most wired colleges" list. Smart spending, specifically on student access to various technologies, is what has made Western such a well-wired school in the past, Lawson said. Student access to technology is incredibly important to Western, Lawson, said because the majority of the technology fee goes toward the computer labs, laptop loan program and student e- mail. Lawson said if Western were to raise the t technology fee to somewhere near the levels of its peer institutions it would make sense to put the extra money toward the replacement cycle for the various computer labs scattered throughout campus. Schools that have a higher technology fee can afford to put the money toward not only replacing outdated equipment, but funding two people in the central information technology groups to focus on managing and providing support to the student technology fee projects, Lawson said. Western is falling behind in the ability to provide replacement machines and still maintain the possibility of new initiatives such as storage area networks for students, Lawson said. The student government needs to raise the technology fee significantly if Western is to remain near the top of the high-tech-heap. Otherwise it will be too late and Western will be just one more technological dinosaur struggling under the weight of its obsolete technology. Use Red Square to share your opinion â€¢ FRONTLINE from 13 Last May, an anti-abortion display dominated Red Square, blocking off the pathways and showing students large photos of lynching and Holocaust victims, along with aborted fetuses. The Nov. 16 Die-in did not show images of dead Iraqi children or maimed U.S. soldiers. Instead, participants wore red to symbolically represent the dead. Perhaps the protests were futile in creating results â€” but perhaps not. Whatever the case, neither the Die-in nor the "Abortion is Genocide" protest should have been prevented from taking place in Red Square. And if you didn't like the protest, well, why don't you protest it in Red Square? Free e-mail worth the scans / / i jon Brandenburg THE WESTERN FRONT For any person who has ever taken a digital stroll on a little thing called the Internet, it is noticeable that cyberspace is filled with liars and cheats keen on swindling saps with promises of free services. On the Internet, services are rarely free. For the frugal college student looking for an e-mail service that doesn't require an "@ cc.wwu.edu," Google provides Gmail, a service that gives its users two gigabytes of free space, compared to the 250 megabytes given by services such as MSN. Gmail is completely free to whoever is willing to sign up for the service â€” the only price is the human soul. Actually, the only price is that personal e-mails are scanned for advertising purposes. But if some people were asked, they'd probably liken this perceived invasion of privacy to a reaping of the soul. Google's practices with Gmail are not the work of some evil mega-corporation hell-bent oh stealing the secrets of American citizens. Google is simply conducting highly intelligent market research. When a person signs up for Gmail he or she enters into an agreement with Google, said Matthew McGowan, a contract law student at the University of Washington. When signing up for Gmail people agree to allow Google to scan their e-mails, McGowan said. Hotmail and Yahoo both say they do not participate in e-mail scanning, he said, but they also do not boast the same benefits as Gmail. E-mail scanning is a trade-off that allows Google to make the service available for free. This information is also needed to gain valuable research on how Google can better serve its customers, said Aaron Pyon, former E-mail scanning is a trade-off that allows Google to make the services available for free" Western student and senior programming analyst at City University in Bellevue. For example, the increase of storage space and the inclusion of Gmail instant messaging all stem from information from users, Pyon said. The e-mail scanning isn't done by a bunch of creepy guys in their parents' basements, getting their jollies off of personal messages. The scan is done by a cold calculating computer program that uses a series of algorithms to find repeating words or phrases. Pyon said Google uses the information to display personalized ads on the sidebar of the screen. The information scanned by Google is not sent to advertisers. It is simply used as an indicator of which Google advertisers a user would be most interested in, Pyon said. Sure the scanning software is not always the most accurate. Mistakes can happen. In an e-mail sent by his local comic book store, Gmail user and Western computer science major Garrett Wood, was rewarded with ads for free personality tests. Wood said perhaps it's just a fluke in some algorithm or maybe Google is of the mind that a 21-year-old man should probably stop reading comics. Regardless, Wood said the ads themselves take up only a tenth of the screen. He said the ads do not overtly draw his eye and even when he does notice the ridiculous ones, they are a source of amusement. Besides, a few ads that are generally catered to a user's tastes are a small price to pay for a free service that filters out obnoxious and disgusting spam. If users feel so truly violated by Google's scanning practices that they cannot live with the service, they can move on to paid services that tend to offer less for more. But be forewarned â€” without Gmail, they may miss an advertisement that could change their lives. Looking for off-campus living resources and tips?

Although I protested the war in Iraq before it began, I believe an immediate troop withdrawal would be irresponsible and could allow a full-scale civil war in Iraq. When we invaded Iraq, we gained partial responsibility for that country's future. If, as General Abizaid told Congress on Nov. 15, an immediate phased withdrawal would lead to civil war, withdrawing now would be wrong. A classified report issued by U.S. Central Command in mid-October showed sectarian violence is increasing according to a Nov. 1 New York Times article. Iraq's own army is incapable of maintaining the country's stability. Iraqi troops are insufficiently trained and have little incentive to stay in the army according to a Nov. 1 Washington Post article. The protestors in Red Square last Thursday and everyone else in the world want the violence in Iraq to stop. Withdrawing from Iraq might save our own soldiers, but it would abandon innocent Iraqi civilians to brutal civil war sparked by the United States' actions over the past three and a half years. The United States has a responsibility to protect the Iraqis we endangered by invading their country. -Tracy Durnell Western senior MUM WlCOS What is your favorite thing to do in the snow?

A study published in the Oct. 20 issue of Science Magazine found the latter is best at explaining women's under representation in those fields. The Science Magazine study found women who read of supposed genetic differences in the abilities of women and men in areas such as math and science performed worse on math tests than women who did not. The study labeled this occurrence as "stereotype threat" where self-relevant stereotypes lead people to show stereotype-consistent behavior, according to Science Magazine. Such studies should shed light on the fact that providing equal opportunity to members of each sex in all fields of study requires confronting such stereotypes. These stereotypes could also explain the under representation of women in politics, Western women's studies program assistant Shurla Thibou said. The image of certain occupations, such as politics, as a "boys club" can make a woman think twice about running for office, she said. Western sociology professor Karen Bradley said while overt discrimination has decreased, certain ideas and attitudes about women's ability to succeed in math and science make it less likely for some capable women to pursue "To overcome these stereotypes, it is important that such fields are not portrayed as a 'boys c\ub-\/ / careers in those areas. Bradley found in her study of a dozen countries that nations such as Turkey and Ireland that require students to take higher levels of math and science classes in secondary school have the most equal representation of women and men at the college level. Bradley said a possible explanation is that sexual stereotypes are of little influence when students are required to study these fields more extensively in secondary school compared to the United States. While the door is certainly open to everyone who wishes to pursue his or her field of interest, such studies show that negative stereotypes are still pervasive in this country and most of the western world. To overcome these stereotypes it is important that such fields are not portrayed as a "boys club." The roles of women in areas of math and science need to be emphasized so young girls can imagine themselves doing that work and to ensure sexual stereotypes don't keep them from pursuing further education. This needs to be done by middle school when Bradley said gender identities are formed. Not only to balance the ratio of men to women in certain fields but to ensure that those Turks and Irish don't have the upper hand. Sexual equality is something everyone can get behind when American preeminence is at stake. Why share your Internet connection? i t f fl wm Finals are coming, is your Internet ready?

The San Francisco Mime Troupe, withtamborines and banjoes and robin's egg blue outfits was the perfect old time minstrel show, with a fewglaring, exceptions. Without pulling any punches, the troupe lambasted all the stereotypes and bigots,both white and negro, and left the audience taking a long hard look at the problem of civil rights. Pig warmonument stabbed Meeds in "Strawberry Jam" By BRUCE DELBRIDGE Collegian Managing Editor"How can you guys have the gall to spend over two id a half million dollars on a monument when we can't ren get enough money to p a y for buildings r i g h t . h e r e in jllingham?" was the question posed byone Western stu- ;nt when Congressman Lloyd Meeds spoke Tuesday in e Viking Union lounge. lavinggiven a quiet and con-riled speech, Meeds was accosted the. question which referred to Pig WarMonument proposed the San Juan Islands..The query inted out that Western is not on s. approved list of state colleges the coming year, and also that ttional Defense loans are being opped. Meeds answeredtne question, de-iring that Western is on the ap-oved list, but will not receive Klipsun, Jeopardy hurtin'for editors Applications for the editorship of Klipsun, Western's yearbook, id the creative magazine, Jeop-dy are currently being accepted.

He addedthat there are several other schools on the approved list who will not receive funds. PRIVATE FUNDSONLY "The defense loans will be dropped," Meeds admitted. "But they will be taken over by privatebanking firms and the government will pay the extra interest rates." "I feel the monument is valuable as a historic shrine and is of relatively little cost, whereas you're speaking of 100 million dollars when youtalk about building construction," he added. The Congressman's speech earlier broached the subjectof the minimum wage law now in Congress. His mention of the bill received interest primarily becauseWestern's AS Legislature had recently passed a resolution supporting enactment of the proposal.Meeds prefaced his remarks by saying,"Since the bill has so much to do with the strawberry growers inthe state, I call it the 'Great Strawberry Jam'." After the note of "humor" he answered a demand to knowhis part in the development of the fledging law. Meeds took at least partial credit for adding fiveamendments to the motion. VIETNAM IS FRUSTRATING Trying to estimate the best word describingthe situation in Vietnam, Meeds remarked that "frustration" was the closest he could come. Heconcluded that our success in the war may be in part responsible for the situation of political strifepresent there. Warning that the greatest danger now is reaction, Meeds directed the responsibility ofcritically examining the evidence to both "hawks" and "doves." He clarified by saying, "The 'hawks' willinterpret the internal chaos in Vietnam as a reason to take complete control of the nation. The 'doves' will take it to mean an obvious hint by the Vietnamese that it's time for the US to leave."

"To me theconduct of any performance must be relevant to its message and, in turn, its message must berelevant to the aims and ideals of the college. Inquiries were made before the performance was givenhere and it was found to be relevant." Student and faculty criticism was overwhelmingly favorable to theshow in general. ART ISN'T MORALITY "I thought it was pretty good theater," was Dr. R. D. Brown'scomment. "I didn't blanch at the so-called 'obscenities' because they were part of the art. Art is moremoral than morality; if it had been obscene for the sake of obscenity that would have been different. Ifwould have been a mistake if the college hadn't permitted it." Mrs. Nita Bunnell, of the EnglishDepartment, "expected it to be just another civil right show." After experiencing the production she was very pleased. "I didn't find it disagreeable at all. If it had been cleaned up very much it would havelost much of its effectiveness. I think the things that they were pointing out need to be revealed." "It toldme nothing about human nature that I didn't already know," said an unidentified English professor. "Itwasn't obscene or vulgar, just raw.

The Blue Blazers recommended a b i l l to t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o nadvocating t h e choice of residence for all s t u d e n t s w i t h p a r e n t a l consent A bill originallyproposed by Executive Viee President Ken Riddell merely pointed up the fact that persons of theage of 18 are considered #dults. Riddell's proposal asked that the school officials regard students withthe opportunities to act as adults both in dorms and, out. â€¢ DEMAND STUDENT RIGHTS â€¢Jumping into the task of approving the motion, the Blazers completely revamped the "statement.They ultimately condensed the statement into a simple "demand for release from dorms with familypermission. " The legislators spent most of the session in hot debates over the motion hearingopinions from all sides. A representative from the inter-dorm council voiced the opinion ftiat the dormgroups were not in favor of the proposal. She also questioned who was attempting to push the act.Riddell explained that there had been a specific committee set up by the body to formulate some type of action. The committee had also met with campus groups including fee American Civil Liberties Union, to get student opinion. TOSSED LIKE HOT POTATO The amended bill was passed and immediatelyplaced in a committee to present before the administration. The chairmanship of the group was tossedaround the board like a hot potato as the group began to fear its use in the coming election. The BlueBlazers finally settled on A. S. President Blair Paul. Paul had earlier expressed his sentiments inopposition to the revised bill. He stated before the board that he would not work for the legislature'sfinal proposal. He did say that he would promote the action in its original form. Riddell expressedcomplete discouragement over the changing of his statement. Making the point that the new billchanged the whole purpose of his motion, he added that the group would get farther in the long runwith the old version. He reassured them that their direct proposal would receive direct denial. IRATELEGISLATORS The debate raged on well after the formal meeting.had come to a close as irate boardmembers 'attacked Paul for his opposition to the legislative wishes. . .

Western students out ofJeopardy "The Jeopardy staff regrets that many students wanting this year's creative arts magazine areunable to receive one," said editor Jack Benedict. "Funds authorized for the publication allowed only one thousand copies to be published." Because 250 were obligated to faculty members and otherschools, and 100 to contributers to the magazine only 650 remained for distribution to Westernstudents. This is less than one for each seventh student. Viking Union desk receptionist, Diane Seelye, said that as of Wednesday she had had requests for 250 Jeopardys, which she was unable to fulfill. It is hoped that next year everyone who wants one will be able to obtain Jeopardy. In order for this tocome about more money must be provided, either from student body funds, or by charging for themagazine.

CHEAPER THAN BOMB Theprice of such a venture would be nominal in comparison to the vast sums spent on building up ourdefenses. "All the expenses for such a group to come to the U. S. and stay for three months would costas much as one small bomb," Hayakawa calculated. He added that Russia would almost have toaccept such an offer. "Everyone would assume they refused to agree to it for fear their representativeswould defect," he said. Hayakawa emphasized that one of the major problems between the U. S. andRussia is that we operate under conflicting philosophical assumptions. "The Russians useuniversalistic reasoning, working from general concepts to particulars; they try to categorize everythingbefore trying to deal with it," he said. "The Americans, on the other hand, use nominalist reasoning;their attitude is, "If you can think of something to do about it, who cares what it is?" This conflict leadsto a stalemate at the conference table, according to Hayakawa, "The Russian thinks theAmerican is rushing matters by looking for a solution without defining the problem while the Americanthinks the Russian is stalling when he insists that the problem be defined," he explained. Haughty foxtop actor for kids A mischievous fox and six other animals will entertain in the Western PlayersChildren's Theater production, '.'Reynard the Fox," directed by William Birner of Western's dramadepartment. "Reynard," the third in this year's series of childrens' productions, will run Thursday throughSaturday at the Western auditorium, with matinees, and a family night performance Friday eveningat 7:30. Thursday's matinee begins at 2:00, Friday's at 3:45 and Saturday's performances willbegin at 10:00 and 2:00. : . Although the play is being produced specifically for primary andintermediate age children of Bell- â€¢irigham and Whatcom County, it should appeal to adults with itssatire of the good and the bad in everyone. Brought to trial for his offenses against the other animals,Reynard, portrayed by Linda Fulton, is given a year of probation to mend his ways. But the playful foxcannot resist the opportunity to trick his fellows, and accumulates a long list of misdeeds before theyear is half over. Enraged by this, the wolf, Niel Johns, and the bear, Micheal Caven, lead a conspiracyagainst Reynard and have a noose around his neck when the hunters move in. At first each terrifiedanimal schemes only for his own safety. In the end, however, it is Reynard who saves' them all.

He then received permission from the production manager of theTroupe to take picutres of the encores and the last few minutes of the show. When he asked for hiscamera at the finale it was refused. The culprit who denied him his equipment was described as "ashort, fat student legislator with black glasses."

Their show, "Civil Rights in a Cracker B a r r e l " or " J im Crow A-Go-Go" has beencastigated, complimented and condemned throughout the western United States. It will soon move toNew York hopefully to establish itself as a major off-Broadway play. The troupe itself has been aroundsince 1959, producing controversial plays dealing with present social conditions. It is one of the majorrepresentatives of a new movement in drama which might be. termed real realism. "Keeping the searchÂ©pen for better ways of making the theatre, in content and in style, a living, radical force," is the self-proclaimed goal of the group. COMPLACENT TO VULGAR The production."Jim Crow A-Go- Go" usesthe theme of the old southern minstrel" show, beginning with a typical song and dance routine. Havingcreated the image of a complacent group of Negro slaves the tone rapidly changes to destroy thatimage. By associating many vulgarities with the stereo-type, the players hopefully make the audienceabandon it in favor of a new view of the socially troubled and downtrodden Negro. The incongruousassociations are continued throughout the program making the effect of the show more lasting anddemanding in the audience's mind. Also included in the performance are a number of sometimeshumorous, sometimes very bitter, but always satirical sketches of the conditions of the Negro. Thehighlight of the presentation is an expressionistic movie entitled "Dem Watermelons," in which thewatermelon is used as a symbol of the Negro and his present situation in our society. The film beginsdepicting a watermelon being kicked, beaten and smashed by a crowd of people, both Negroid andCaucasian. It progresses to an end in which the melon is chasing that frightened society. SOCIALMORES DISREGARDED The Troupe put little emphasis on subtlety, as their message was clear tonearly everyone but the completely oblivious in the audience. The actors were not halted by anynormal conventions in their attempt to present life as it really is. The use of whatever language andnearly any type of actions, the players deemed appropriate created a sense of an often painful reality.Rapid shifting of the mood; sometimes including the audience in- the act and sometimes alienating italtogether; resulted in a successful attempt to upset the viewers' balance. A capacity crowd filled theauditorium, with mixed feelings as to trie calibre of the play. "Gross" was the word often used, a .feweven walked out, but hone could deny that it was an effective comment on society.

The San Francisco Mime Troupe hastaken a tender subject, dressed it up in an old time minstrel show, and slapped it right in the face. Wewere glad to see that the show was well received at Western, for we were just as interested in theaudience as the show itself. People reacted to the performance in an understandable fashion. Most ofthe evening was spent in gales of laughter, but there were moments of chilling silence. The majoritystuck it out. Some laughed nervously, some hid their faces during a number of the scenes, and afewâ€”only a fewâ€”walked out. There were various levels of understanding last Thursday night as theminstrels sang and shouted across the stage. If you took the show at face value alone, it was vulgar,obscene, unfit for public presentation. The people who did so missed the point completely. The troupeavoided the hypocritical approach of lightly pussy-footing around the subject of civil rights andexcluding the a nice tryâ€”but. . . Western's Associated Student Legislature is preparing a resolutionto present before the administration, demanding bluntly, free choice of residence. They have asked thatany student 18 years old with parental permission, be able to live off campus. We laud their efforts withsome hesi-tance. We watched them take the statement of a committee, formed for the specificpurpose of writing the motion, and chuck it out the window. This was not necessarily bad because thewording was poor and many of the committee members agreed to junk the statement. The one glaringmistake made by the legislative body in their exhuberance, was to exclude an alternative to their request. A flat denial is probably the only reaction anticipated from the administration at present. This wouldseem obvious just from the standpoint of their apparent plans for a resident college. But if the collegeofficials are given one or several realistic suggestions, they will keep from feeling pushed. It is unfair tosay the Blazers are unaware of the need for such alternatives, but somewhere they have dropped theball. What amazes us is that several legislators voiced the opinion dorms are not so bad. Yet theydidn't try to add the second choice of relaxing dorm rules to make them as liveable as off campushousing.-â€” Bruce N. Delbridge. a bright spot for Western This year's Jeopardy is one of the best wehave ever seen. We had a feeling that it was going to be a good one even before publication when JackBenedict, editor of the fine arts magazine, told us last quarter of the tremendous response from thestudent body. Apparently there were stacks upon stacks of contributions from which to choose but afew. We don't envy the editors in their task of selection, for they were severely limited by being able touse only 75 pages. . A special word of paise belongs to the students who turned in the various poems,short stories and works of art. We know as well as anyone that writing of any sort is no easy job, and the few inches which appear on the printed page can easily betray the hours involved in creating thefinished product. Jeopardy is not only a credit to the writers and artists themselves, but to the school aswell, and it promises to get bigger and better each year. We urge anyone interested in this type ofcreative writing; or any artists and photographers to start working on material for next year's magazine.This year's Jeopardy makes it obvious that it is well worth the effort.â€”Robert E.

We defy anyone, especially college students who aresupposedly young adults, to deny that they have seen, heard, read about, or even experiencedthemselves anything that took place on stage that night. If they do, they are either kidding themselves or simply trying to maintain a false image of innocence which is, as far as we are concerned, completelyabsurd. We not only congratulate the performersâ€” who, by the way, are well disciplined, highlyentertaining, and who thoroughly enjoy their professionâ€”but also Executive Vice President Ken Riddellfor making the final decision to bring the show to Western. It wasn't easy.

I felt they were being 3rd on the poor girl for sinningterribly, and, becoming annoyed their evasive wording (and the lacher's!), I spoke out in a strong \ttremulous voice: "It all depends on social morals, lether or not premarital inter- ^urse is considered rightor wrong a particular society. Gretchen as sinned only according to the lurch and German society. Per-bnally, I don't think that premarital itercourse is a sin or wrong."

The school is netthe only one to blame, but it contributes greatly to the unhealthy repression of sex. I wish some of thewell-nourished school administrators would readâ€”and understand â€”D. H.

HARRY BARMAN Junior EnglishMajor Western's programs work of many Editor, the Collegian: I very much appreciate the commentabout the Extension and Arts and Lectures program which appeared in the editorial column by BruceDelbridge. (Collegian, April 7^ I believe it is extremely important, however, to have Mr. Del-bridge'sremarks followed up by a further statement which we all know, but which should receive recognition. The Extension and Arts and Lectures program results from the efforts of a large number of people,including the Concert-Lecture Committee, the Extension Committee, the Academic Dean, andother.administrative heads of the college who ultimately control the budget for these programs. Manypeople put in time and take on responsibility for this aspect of Western's programs which come to focusthrough the Extension Office. It is important to recognize these persons because if the over-all programis to remain vital it must maintain the active, participation of all, of these persons. Sincerely yours, F. R. FERINGER, Director Extension Services Minstrel Show was insult to womanhood Editor, the Collegian: After 15 minutes of the Minstrel show last Thursday night I walked away from what I consider a directinsult to my standing in this world as a woman. I have never been so sickened in all my life by what wascalled' "reality." The "proper and adult" thing to do was to sit and laugh in the right places so that noone would think that you were "out of it." Well,. I am very thankful that I am out of itâ€”that wretchedshow, at least. If students here have to think that they mlust sit through something like that and besubjected to such filth, then let them.

The organization, a non-denominational student Christian group, was founded15 years ago at UCLA, and now has representatives in 100 American campuses and 14 foreigncountries. "When I graduated from the University of Oregon I was something of an agnostic," Prallsaid. "Shortly after graduation, however, someone explained Christianity in a way that made sense, and I committed my life to Christ at that time." GOLF PLACES SECOND Prall led the Oregon Ducks to three straight conference championships and entertained thoughts of becoming a professional golfer."Some businessmen from Salem, â€¢Oregon, offered to sponsor me if I turned pro," he said, "but I defi- . nitely felt I should go into Christian work." Since he began presenting the claims of Christ to collegestudents Prall hasn't had much time to golf. "I played nine holes a few days ago," said the two-timeOregon State amateur champion. "I hadn't played since last July." After three years at a theological seminary in Portland, Prall joined the Campus Crusade for Christ staff, spending a year at the University of Oklahoma, and fall quarter 1965 at the University of Washington.

"A college campus is the easiest place in the world to fwork,"he commented. "Students are usually very* warm and open, willing to consider Christianityobjectively." COLLEGE LIFE Prall meets many students at "College- Life," weekly meetings sponsoredby Campus Crusade for Christ. "Attendance at the meetings has risen to about 75," he said. Otherstudents are referred to him by friends, and Prall also meets students on what he calls a "randombasis." "I try to talk to at least 15 new FACTORY-TRAINED MECHANICS Expert Service Costs Lesspeople every week," he said, "but this is very hard to do. I find that there lis quite a favorable responsewhen the student understands who Christ was, and what He accomplished by His death on thecross;" Pral pointed out, however, that the average college student is rejecting Christianity on thebasis : of; false information. "College students look upon Christianity as an effort to follow;_ a;: moralethic taught by Jesus Christ, rather than the living, personal relationship with Christ that was soobviously prevalent in the lives of the early Christians." "In other words," he continued, "the life of aChristian is a result of his relationship with Christ, not the other way around. Most students get causeand effect turned around." JUST GETTING STARTED Prall is optimistic about the work of CampusCrusade for Christ. "We're just getting started at Western," he said. Leadership training classes forChristians are held at Western, as well as at Arrowhead Springs, Bernardino, Calif. "Eleven Western stu- . dents .went to the classes in Cali- . femia during spring vacation," said Prall, "and more areexpected to attend this summer." Prall will be among the dozen Campus Crusade for Christ staffmembers who will spend two months this summer at the University of. Mexico. "This experience will help us get a vision of the world," he said. He will direct his attention to the world at Western next fall, presenting the claims of Christian faith to all who will listen.

By VERN GIESBRECHT Collegian Feature Editor When RussGranbois sits down to do some studying, it's often as quiet as a graveyard, and for good reason.Granbois works the "graveyard" shift at Oakalla Prison, Burnaby, B. C , and studies "about four or fivehours a night, if nothing goes wrong. Granbois has been a prison guard for two years now. keepingwatch over nearly 200 inmates, all of whom are awaiting trial. Working in the same wing with him are twoother students, from Columbia Junior College, Vancouver, and Simon Fraser University, Burnaby."About 20 of the guards go to school and work the graveyard shift," said Granbois, a history major fromNew Westminster who is carrying 17 hours this quarter. "We're more or less locked up, and might aswell do something, so we usually study part of the time," he added UNVARYING ROUTINE Since hetransferred to Western from Everett Junior College in fall '64, Granbois' routine has been unvarying:attending classes during the daytime, sleeping from five to eleven, and guard duty at Oakalla from 12 to 8. He works four days, then has two days off, and rarely has a free weekend. "The first day at schoolafter beginning a shift is always the roughest," Granbois commented, especially those two and threeo'clock classes." Granbois has been carrying a heavier load every quarter, and works at the prison evenduring exams. "I took my holidays during winter quarter exams last year," he said, "but I found that Istudied less than when I was working." MAIL CENSOR During his nightly eight hour shift at Oakalla,Granbois censors incoming mail, makes up court lists (lists of people going to court the next day), anddoes a little bookkeeping for the guards who will work the day shift. "If girls under 18 write to theprisoners, we have to get their parent's consent before we can give the letters to the prisoners," Granboissaid. He said they try to cut out swearing in the letters, anything that might upset a prisoner, or cause asuicide attempt. "Sometimes a prisoner will try to slash Ms wrists or something like that, but usually it'sfairly â€¢ quiet in the night," said Granbois, who makes hourly checks of the single and double cells inthe wing's five tiers. "Lights are out at 10:30 but some prisoners read late at night, using the lightsacross the haU," he said. "I try to talk to them if they can't sleep at night, try to treat them as humans,"he added. HEARS ESCAPE PLANS Granbois occasionally overhears inmates discussing escapeplans, but he said, "It would be very difficult to escape from the inner prison. NÂ©Â» one has tried duringthe time I've worked there." Between 7 and 8 am, Granbois supervises the breakfast food lines."Prisoners who are serviag a short sentence usually help dishing out the food, and I get to know some ofthese fairly well," be said. Granbois said he is considering a career as a parole officer after he graduatesfrom Western next June, but added, "My plans are far from definite." He sees room for improvement inOakalla Prison, and said "First offenders should be separated from the other prisoners more than theyare now." Granbois plans to continue his job this sun*- mer. "I hope to get on day shift this time," hesaid.

Fall brings new profs to Western A higher percentage of doctors will instruct atWestern during the next academic year than ever, be: fore in the school's history, according to Dr.Charles Flora, Academic Dean. The hiring of new personnel is "booming," Flora commented. Forty-fourprofessors have been contracted, and only a few vacancies remain to be filled. Competition with topuniversities and the federal government was expected to make the attraction of new professors a difficulttask, Flora related. The job was successful however, because, "Western is an excellent college, people know this, and they want to work in, and be associated with, a top notch institution such as this,'" headded.

This s t a t e m e n t by h i s t o r i a n Carl Becker, is t o . b e studied in the seven p a r t lecture series "Backwoods of the World." Thegoal of "Backwoods of the World," is to find a cultural denominator by which societies operate. Bystudying seven non-industrialized cultures, the Sociology-Anthropology Department, under thedirection of the Extension Services, hopes to find the underlying problems of cultural lag in the UnitedStates, as well as in the world. The Lecture Series will begin next Tuesday and run through the nextseven weeks, A $3.00 auditing fee is being charged for students, and tickets may be picked up inadvance at the Extension Office in Old Main. Individual lecture tickets will not be sold. LOOKS ATCULTURES By looking at various non-industrialized cultures, the lecture series will attempt to find ameans by which the United States can work effectively in foreign affairs. "We are pouring millions ofdollars into places like Viet Nam, and we aren't getting what we want done," pointed out Dr. F. R. Fer-inger, the Director of the Extension Services. "We need to help other countries by a way other thandollars and centsi, that is, if we're going to help them," said Feringer.

"It May Not Be Love But She's My Baby" comes on like a bad dream and remains little more.As emasculation metaphor, it is immediately reminiscent of Faust's Walpurgis-night dance with theyoung witch: Faust: Oh! in the midst of her singing a little red mouse sprang out of her mouth.Mephistopholes: . . . .

Coming closer tohome, the piece can perhaps be described as a Dantean view of the daily freshman Humanitieslectures in the WWSC auditoriumâ€”the constant mumbling is of intellectual defeat ("I can't do it!"), andthe rustling and clicking not of looseleaf binders, but the snicker-snack of little teeth, the scrape Offingernail against the bone. All this is of interest, however, only to the psychologistâ€”as literature it isirrelevent: as the various symbols are unrelated to any particular reality (yours, mine or his) I don't seehow it can be called prose fiction, and, as it lacks verbal intensity, words as ends rather than means,-1can't call-it poetry. â€¢ ; - â€¢â€¢-_-- It is in fact -little more than a do-it-yourself art kit, a blob of quasi-mythical imagery that the author has thrown at us to do with what -WÂ© will, having done nothing himself. He may as well trot down the street naked; this, like his "prose-poem," would also provide conversation and perhaps even a little admiration, but it would have little to do with any known form of art. While Mr.Hughes is out of the running for literary honors by default, Miss Knemeyer, in "The Fox and the Mimi,"is simply inept. Her narrative begins with numerous distracting and irrelevant changes of scene, and hercharacterization is throughout amateurish: her heroine bursts into tears and her hero into laughter withlittle or no dramatic justification. We are reminded of Eliot's criticism of Hamletâ€”that the feelings of thecharacters lack sufficient objective correlativesâ€”and we wonder why we should waste our time readingabout people who are 60 obviously mad. - Mr. and Mrs. Mimi nevertheless have considerable interest,especially after reading the Hughes' extravaganza. "Mimi tore into the rich food with a passion," and"sucked the juice" out of the sausages: Yecch! the voracious female again! "Let me hold your wrench,"she says ("I can't do it!"), "and I'll hold your hand" (snicker-snack!)" Miss Knemeyer's dramatization ofsex and the singular girl is even more disturbing than that of Mr. Hughes, for her theme isunintentionalâ€” she is of the devil's party without knowing it.

A NON-PROFIT CORP.UNDERGRADS, CLIP AND SAVE THE LARGEST VARIETY OF THE BEST PIZZAS IN TOWN NOWDELIVERED BY TONY'S CAMPUS DELIVERY TWO DELIVERIES: 8:30 PM and 10 PM MONDAYTHRU SATURDAY NO SUNDAY DELIVERIES TONY'S PIZZA CAFE 1311 STATE 734-7430 In "Shakethe-Tambourine and I Will Dance for You," Miss Malcolm solves the more obvious of the technicalproblems that destroy "The Fox and the Mimi" by adopting the first person point of viewâ€” this simpledevice immediately provides smoother transitioning and greatly reduces the problems of charactermotivation. Miss Malcolm's heroine is strangely like the ones we have already metâ€”beginning with amouth full of pins and a voracious appetite, she spends most of her time attacking the hero (snicker-snack): "guys like Harold deserve to be taken to the cleaners." She bills herself almost explicitly as thescarlet whore of Babylon (Child of Ancient Egypt, mother of all the witches, sister of the stars, daughter of darkness) and has her man-thing under her thumb(nail): Harold, a "chubby Rock Hudson," looks, as well as acts, like a woman. The mechanization of the fortune-telling prophecy business is of course majorthematic material- and could be made to touch deep roots however, it is unclear whether the Gypsy hasbeen mechanized or whether this mechanized life has been revitalized by Gypsy zap: is the heroineanother Madame Sosostris, turning at the door, or is she like Blake's Oothoon, a soul of sweet delightwho can never be defiled? Miss Malcolm's problem is that she didn't ask this essential question, andwhile she intends, I think, the latter, her story comes up reading the former. As her heroine, anotherdaughter of Danaus, enters the bedroom and turns off the light poor Harold "grinned in that stupid way ofhis:" The woman with the fiery hair plays on a lute the plaint of some erotic melody. "I have within myheart of hearts a tree," she sings, "that bears no fruit but misery." (Duncan' "The Mirror") As the neonsign blinks red. black, red, black, sex, death, and her hair falls all over him, poor Harold probably grins allthe more for his feelings of longing and warmth, whispering "you're wonderful" as her flashing teeth gosnicker-snack. The story ends with the heroine wondering if the "snakes" have been bought off. MissMalcolm means the question to be rhetorical. It isn't. Larry Joyce's Japanese travelogue "Set 'Em UpAgain" is, in my opinion, the second most successful story in the collection, particularly on the basis ofits first movement which contains convincing characterization and sensitive presentation of scene. Theauthor is, however, unable to do anything with this material, and finally undercuts it by refusing to decidewhat his theme is. Does he want to write about the heroes sexual awakening? Then why obscure themain event with a couple of mangled metaphors (the bowling alley and cherry tree)? Is he more interestedin the social reality within which sex must function? Then why all the minute articulations of scene andcharacter in the first movement? It is most probable that he is trying to study the friction between thesetwo areas 6f the hero's life; in this case, his plot invention fails miserablyâ€”there is no organic relationship between the first and second parts of the story, and their juxtaposition creates only the crude dramatic irony implied by the title. Somehow, the first movement promised a lot more. Mr. Joyce's structuralproblems may be caused by his reluctance to further explore his themes: it seems, for instance, thatMom and the Chief Executive are always right. This moral is further emphasized by the author's implicitdefinition of the American adolescent's' vision of the perfect mateâ€”a "mom" who; while scrubbing you inthe tub, will not laugh at your erection. A true classic. The hero is, at the end, in a vaguely rebelliousmood, but it is all too easy for us to imagine him returning to his midwestern Mommy's knee andwhispering in her ear, with a feeling of longing and warmth, "you're wonderful." I felt short-changed at being forced so slickly to empathize with a character who turns out to be such a wimp. Prufrock was at leastaware of his sterility.

US behind Russia in poetry reading S "TheRussians have been using linguistics to examine poetry since the early 1900's, while in America, usinglinguistics to examine poatry is relatively new," said Dr. Harold Whitehall. Whitehall, the chief editor ofWebster's New World Dictionary, spoke Wednesday, April 6, on the topic, "From Linguistics to Poetry."as part of the two-week concert- *ecture Symposium. One of the world's foremost linguist's, Whitehallmoved into the field of literature, taking his knowledge of linguistics with him. The study of poetry inAmerica was largely philosophical until 1951 when Whitehall developed the "New Criticism." That is,studying poetry using linguistic techniques. "The sound effects in poetry are very important, and it is upto the linguist to discover the various sound emphasis' the poet was incorporating into his poems,"explained Whitehall. The number of 'syllables in a line, together with the End-Assonances, give thelinguist his clue to the various sound stresses needed in reading a poem. He emphasised his point byreading Dylan Thomas' "Fern Hill." Whether a poem rhymes or not is also important in studyingpoetry. In studying rhymes in poetry,, Whitehall has discovered that the Chinese had poems whichrhymed in B. C. 140. He hypothesized, however, that rhymes in poems probably orginated muchearlier than that, and possibly by a culture other than the Chinese. Whitehall proposed that the study ofpoetry cannot be confined to the English language. He pointed out that English is only one of over 3700languages. Because of this, Whitehall has studied French, German, Arabic, Indonesian, Chinese,Japanese, and many other languages. In concluding his speech, Whitehall pointed out the similaritybetween Old English and the English of today. He claimed that if modern English were pronouncedthe way it is spelled, one would be speaking the English of five decades ago. UkSaâ€”â€¢ "Did I tellyou about the wonderful college boy I met at Ennen's? He wants me to help-him study anatomy/' EN'STHRIFTWAY HIGH AND HOLLY "WHERE EVERY CUSTOMER IS IMPORTANT" If Western is tobecome all it wants to be it must seek to change its name from "college" to "university," accordingto a committee appointed by the Faculty Council to investigate the question. . As a college, Westernis handi-caped in the fierce competition for faculty members of high caliber. "Many potential recruits donot look past the label "state college?' to discover that Western has much to offer them," observed thecommittee. "University" might induce that second look.. The change would also have a substantialeffect on our revenue, according to the committee. Doors that remain barred and mute when WWSCknocks would open to WWSU and supply us with more adeuqate research funds and a more equalshare of educational appropriations. Many people feel it would be pretentious of Western to call itself a university. The committee disagrees. "It is fair to say that in terms of both traditional image and currentuse, Western, with its enrollment of 5,213, its programs in teacher education and arts and sciences,its experiments in organization, such as Fairhaven, its burgeoning research activities and graduatestudies, is already as much a university de facto as many an institution that bears that name, and in the quality and range of its curriculum considerably more respectable than some that have it today or willtomorrow." To those idealists who would rather v/ait until the accolade "University"' is "conferredupon us by an admiring public," the committee replies, "Don't hold your breath." It lis only through thename that Western will have the means to realize its hopes for the future. Western need not becomethe stereotype university, cascading down over the hill in a mass of superficiality and using a yardstickto measure its greatness; it need not strive to be all things to all men, insists the committee. On thecontrary, Western as a university could establish its own character, pursuing only those areas in whichit can make a genuine contribution and attain excellence. College heads will campaign in Olyntpia wemight not have any GO-GO-GIRLS but we still have fun at the Tifr Dancing to the "Interludes" Fridays b Saturdays By BRUCE DELBRIDGE Collegian Managing Editor Western may soon have its own lobby in Olympia ac cording to Associated Student Body President.Blair Pau The plan was revealed to theCollegian in a press cohfer snee Tuesday. The organization of a Washington State Student Bod]President Council, will create a lobby group in the stat capital which will press directly for favorablecollege leg" ation. Paul recently presented the diagram for a president's council to college leadersffrom the five state collegesrJn the preliminary meeting held at the University of Washington, JE?aulreceived support for the adoption of the general body and its purpose of placing pressure on the^legislature. EASTERN SENDS LOBBY ''One of the surprising things about the state colleges now is the 20 student lobbying group Eastern Washington State College sends to the capital now. I felt, that weshould all use the same system so I have proposed this body," stated Paul. He explained that the group would pressure for the enactment of bills such as referendum 15, a motion presently attempting toprovide funds for expansion at Western. Specifically, referendum 15 will pay for psychology addition toWestern's campus school, and enlargement of the present library. Paul feels that the body will notbe plagued with the infrequency of meetings that inhibits other such organizations. They will assembleoften, during legislative sessions and he has hopes that Governor Dan Evans will accept an invitation topreside as the honorary chairman of the collegiate group. Western's student executive as acting astemporary chairman of the body which will, meet again May 14 to further organize. MORE STUDENTINFLUENCE Also announced by the president was. the placement of two student on the administrativeauxiliary en terprise committee. The additioi provides the first opportunity fo] student influence on astandinj administrative body. The enterprise committee ha charge of the regulations for hon-aca idemic.buildings. In addition, it ha: control over planning and growth such campus structures. Students havealso been asked t lt; form an organization to advise thi faculty council committee on th college culturalenvironment. Thi body will control the future Western's fine arts enrichment. "I feel these are bothsignifican steps toward including students the growth and planning of Wes tern's academic and culturalen vironment."' commented Paul. Two Western writers go to Reed confab Two Western students, MissMari lyn Howisey and Stephen Gilbert were invited to the Northwest Manu scripts Conference April 1446 Reed College. Miss Howisey am Gilbert were chosen on the basis their work which appeared in Jeopardy. Among the twenty-two writer, who will judge student contribution, to the conference are ElizabetlBishop, Warren Carrier, Loui; Simpson, and William Stafford. 'STORIES' (Continued from page 9) is themost successful of the few short stories submitted this year. His central symbols for the fall of dark, ordeathâ€”the transoms, doors, etc. â€”are well conceived and kept under excellent control. Mr. Gasser'serrors are, however, merely fewer and less obvious than those that have mentioned above. The themeis ambiguous like that of Miss Molcolm, and there is an odd reversal of tone and perspective at the endmuch like that of Mr. Joyce. Swen's carpe-diem attitude, for instance, is contrasted throughout withBert's death-in-life regressiveness; this is for some reason contradicted in the final scene where the saleof Swen's house (a symbol for the dead past?) is equated with his and Bert's death. The static isunfortunately intensifed by the author's crude articulation of the young carpenter: as the agent ofdestruction he is an obvious vehicle for treatment of the youth-age, life-death relationship, as inShakespeare's Sonnet 73: In me thou seest the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth itmust expire, consumed with that which it was nourished by. The material, however, remains unexplored,the character merely a stage property, and awkward transitional device. The story's pessimism andnihilism, like its characterization, are here both arbitrary and unconvincing. Although Mr. Gasser has allthe material of a profound treatment of his chosen theme, his story remains merely a report from thegeriatrics ward, a competently impressionistic account of senility and death rather than an illumination oftheir imaginative significance. On finishing "The Fall of Dark" one almost wished that its author would getkicked by a horse or something and wake up asking himself a little more seriously what it's allaboutâ€”life and death I meanâ€”before he tries to write another,word. Gasser and all of the authorshere (except Mr. Hughes, whose writing I have not seen) have a problem common to all literaryamateursâ€” the failure to relax, to allow their material to determine its own final form. This is merely to say that their stories are rhetoric rather than revelation. ' Â«i 25% DISCOUNT New "Discover America,Jet Coach Excursion fares effective March 27, subject to Government approval.

His name is Mike Johnson and h e is undefeated thus far in court competitionwith n e t t e r s from Seattle Pacific College, Pacific L u t h e r a n University and Central Washington. Johnson began his college career in 1959 at Everett Junior College. In 1960 Everett's tennis squadcopped the junior college championship. "When I was a freshman we didn't have much of a team. Butsome of my teammates from Snohomish High School came to Everett the next year and we won thetournament." "I did a stupid thing then," Johnson adds, "I quit school." -: In 1962, two weeks before hewent into the army, Johnson got married. After serving his stint he decided that school was the bestplace for him. ( "All my friends had college educations and many were teaching. At times I felt like I hadnothing in common with them and realized I was wasting my time." â€¢ . ! "Diane, my wife, gave upmuch more than I did when we decided to come here for my education. She had been working as a private secretary at Boeing and had to give it up to come with me." \ Johnson is majoring in social studiesand plans to teach elementary school. UNDEFEATED DUO He and teammate John Tuba are currentlyundefeated in two outings against PLU and Central. The pair were unable to play together in the SPCmatch because of the lengthy singles battle Johnson waged with the Falcon's Jack Vale. Johnson finallywon the marathon 13-11, 4-6 and 6-0. "That was the toughest match I've had all year. I don't think theycan get any tougher and still be a success." BLIND BEGINNING Johnson started playing tennis byaccident. "When I was a freshman in high school I wanted to play baseball but my eyes went bad all of a sudden. I couldn't meet the ball like before." "One day I was outside the gym after school hitting atennis ball up against the wall. The tennis coach was short one man for his turnout and asked me toplay. I wasn't much to see then but I liked it and stack with it." Lutes, Loggers welcome *- Blue netmentomorrow * Western's tennis squad will try to improve its even season record in a match at PacificLutheran University at 10 am and another match at the University of Puget Sound at 2 pm tomorrow.Saturday the young Vikings upset defending Evergreen Conference Champion, Central Washington StateCollege, 4-3 to give Western an early lead in Evergreen Conference play. The Viks won three of the fivesingles matches and split the twr' doubles matches in the victory. Once again Mike Johnson was acontributing factor that enabled-; the Big Blue to defeat Central and square its season at 1-1. He posted a victory in singles by humbling Rob Okada 6-0, 6-0 and teamed with John Tuba to win doubles 7-5, 6-2.Other fine performances for the Viks were turned in by John Leighton and again by John Tuba. Leightondefeated Dave McGill 6-4, 6-1, while Tuba outlasted Howard Jensen 6-2, 6-4. Coach Don Wiseman feelsthat the main obstacle between his team and an Evco championship is Whitworth and the possibility that UPS is also tough. "If we can get past the strong Loggers this weekend, our momentum may carry us tothe championship," said Wiseman. Dr. R. A. Workman Dr. A. H.

The All-school dance, which will take place of the former Men's informal, is scheduled for April 25, but an attempt will be made to move the date to May 2 so that the Worn Campus Chatter COFFEE CAMPAIGNS CONVERSATIONS —By Pinky What I've got to say this week is poetic, and I don't think people in this school 'have appreciated my previous attempts at poetry. So there isn't much to say. However, I shall try to say it in 500 words. o In spite of the fad that they were met by unshaved faces and growls to "GtDan home" the dorm initiates bravely made the rounds of mens houses the other morning, singing their merry little songs. I'd hate to get wakened, so early by the strains of "Go get 'em, Vikings," or such, and I'm not a strong male, either. A notice in the UW Daily reveals the fact that a fellow named Nat Washington is a dark horse in the race for ASUW president for the coming year. In the Viking office, one of the regular exchanges received is addressed to "The Northwest Viking, Robert Viking, Editor;? We have no Mr. Normal on our campus, but how about running Bob Viking for Board of Control? o Bashful men in school? Wonder just how many. After all that hectic planning and bustling about by Women's league committees, serving coffee instead of tea (tea's much better), only about ten males appeared. Orchids to the ten, but you'd think curiosity as to what our room looked like would have brought more out. Oil up those soap boxes and drag out the political machines. Maybe that's a bit muddled, but whatever happens, election time is nigh. There's nothing quite so stimulating as a student election. Yes, very, Too bad this campus doesn't shelter a few frat and sorority houses so that somone could dig into all the dirt. We've tried too long to instigate a quarrel around here over something vital, and maybe that would start it. Nothing else will. But the nearest thing to a sorority is the Greek stuff the campus Rainbows have hitched onto themselves, and I don't know what that means. Besides, there's nothming controversial about a rainbow. They just follow storms. o en's informal will precede it. Girls will sell the tickets and the men will pay. for them. Campus Day is May .1. Discussion of football expenses and of the expediency of creating the student athletic manager position led to the suggestion that Coach Charles Lappenbusch be invited to the next meeting to give his opinion. The program for this morning's student assembly was outlined to the Board. Mon Orloff explained that . the symposium delivered by Gordon Millikan, Bob Hartley, El-tffer Lindquist and Ed Tomco was suggested by a letter he received from the state teachers' college at Mayville, N. D., which is conducting a survey of college student government. Filling. of the ' enclosed questionnaire showed, according to Oroff, that Normal activities are strong'in athletic and social functions. He announced at the same time that the delegates to the International Relations club conference would report in assembly. o WL Tea Is New; Committee Reports Coffee Served to Men Students; Self Starter Discussed Something new in teas was attempted this week when the Women's League served coffee, Ritz crackers, and Cheezits to the men on Tuesday afternoon in the League room. Members of the WL say this practice may be repeated in the future. Phyllis Robinson was general chairman. Miss Florence Johnson, dean of women, and Doris Condo-george poured. Those assisting were: Jean Macaulay, Joan Hoppe, Helen Boothe* and Katherine Sullivan. The press committee of the Women's league, in a report to Dolly Anderson, president, released information regarding ; several changes to be made in the Self Starter.

Misses Marjorie E. Dawson, of the campus school* Elizabeth M. Hopper, of the appointment bureau, and Charlotte B. Richardson, industrial arts instructor, and Dr. C. C. Up-shall, head of the research department, represent the Normal faculty. Miss Dawson is a member of the state committee on revision of courses of study. During the convention an appointment bureau is being maintained at the Davenport hotel by Miss Hopper. She will meet former Normal students who are attending the conference. Dr. Upshall will take part in the research section of the meeting which will consist largely of discussion. He also has a part in planning the banquet for the research workers in attendance. o Three New Officers Elected to Valkyrie Election of Janet Johnson as vice-president; Joan Hoppe, secretary, Elizabeth Cozier, program chairman, and Jeanne Borgstedt, social chairman, of the Valkyrie club, took place at a business meeting held last Tuesday afternoon. An evening social friendship meeting, to introduce the newly elected members, will take place next Tuesday at 7:30. The speaker and the place of meeting have not yet been decided upon, so all Valkyrie members are to keep an eye open for club announcements of further details of this meeting. New rules of excused absences and compulsory club attendences were read and the purchasing of new club uniform sweaters were discussed by the group. o Normal Assembly of May 8 Will Feature MacDowell Concerto Representatives To Be Chosen Next Thursday Nominating Convention Picks Six To Compete for Vacancies On Board Classroom conversation. Discussion is bulletin boards in elementary schools. Pat Jacobsons "Thumb lacks have a certain /ee/." Miss Erickson's ' 7 prefer pins." Now there is something vital to get het up about. At the next Board of Control meeting an athletic manager for football and basketball will be chosen from the several applicants. The manager's salary will be $100 a year with a bonus in proportion to the success of the year. The athletic manager must be regularly enrolled in the school with not fewer than 12 credit hours and must maintain a grade point average of 2.5. At __ the same time an assistant mana The place has been deluged by ger will be chosen who will step into April Fool's day editions of ordinari ly sober, practical, conservative college papers. Our editor does not get original ideas like that. Maybe the school is lucky, though, because none of the suffering readers would have to stop and figure out all the trivialities. The growth of this student organization, "Veterans of Future Wars," has been rapid, and has been taken rather serously, although it was begun as a sort of mild joke on the Princeton campus a short time ago. The affair now has a division on nearly every significant campus in the country, with auxiliaries and everything. Can it be that students .are being "taken in" in the same way the whole population was during the Great War? Trot out your new spring outfits, oh fair ones—strong ones, too. Easter time is here again, and if it dpesni rain Til be seeing you in the, rotogravure. the manager's job the next year. A freshman or sophomore will be preferred for the assistant manager Wiik Presents Recital Of Songs in Assembly s Several groups of songs were pre-sened by Nan Dybdal Wiik, soprano, at the regular Tuesday morning assembly this week. She was accompanied by Edith R. Strange. Mrs. Wiik made her debut in Milan in 1924. She was born in Norway and received her musical education in Italy. In 1925 she was first heard in this country. She appeared as a soloist with the University of Oslo chorus in 30 of the leading cities of the United States. Her first appearance at the Normal was in 1929. She has entertained at many local functions. Mrs. Wiik is the wife of Dr. J. C. Wiik of this city. They were married in Oslo, .Norway, in 1928: May 8 is the new date set for the assembly program featuring Dr. A. C. Hicks, member of the Normal English department, and the Normal school orchestra. Dr. Hicks will play a MacDowell concerto. The assembly was scheduled for May 1 but the date was changed because more time was needed to arrange the program. Eight names will be placed in the voting booths for the student's choice of four quarter board of control representatives next Thursday. Two members are to be voted upon, one to be a woman member and one either a man or woman. Nominees for the woman's position on the control board include Anna Padden, Virginia Holm, and Joyce Jansen. who were picked by the nominating convention, and Helen Hostetter, for whom the students petitioned. Taylor Nominated For the position of either man or woman member of the board, Bill Taylor, Betty Swisher, and Ann Decker were named by the nominating convention while Ed Angel was chosen by student petition. The nominating convention, which met Wednesday evening, chose six of the eight nominees. Representatives of clubs and school organizations attended the convention. Candiates to Be Introduced Candiates for the positions will be introduced by Florence Lund, vice-president of the student body in assembly next Tuesday. Miss Lund will also have charge of the voting on Thursday. Arne Johnsen and Cliff Johnson are the two retiring board members. . o Vaudeville To Be Given By W Club With a committee headed by Hurley Boggess, chairman; Bill Taylor and Ed Tomco, associates, plans for the "W" club vaudeville, to be held May 4, are under way. The vaudeville is to be held in the auditorium the night before campus day under the supervision of Victor H. Hoppe. President Bill Frender declares the acts to be way above par in their extreme absurdity. It is rumored that Popovic will provide one of them and that an attempt is being made to have the faculty take part in the entertainment- Other business brought up in the meeting consisted of changing the club's constitution so that officers will be elected the first day of April instead of in June. This will enable the Inter-club council delegates from the "W" club to participate in the Inter-club council election. . o Nancy Hutton, Edens hall, spent the week-end in Ferndale. o Edens hall girls who visited out of town Friday are Thelma Cowan, in Blaine; Marie Hickman, at Burlington, and Marjorie ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 April 10 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

Perhaps the sparsity of the crowd was due to a lack of interest in good music, lack of time (a feeble excuse) or due to the fact that the date and exceptional quality of the concert was not specifically brought to the attention of the students. But whatever the reason was, it is hoped that the occasion will not again arise when it will be necessary to offer any of these excuses. Ohx U^W Keyhol( In Answer In answer to the student opinion which appears in this issue I will say it is too bad if the masculine population of the school cannot bring enough pressure to bear on certain infamous characters within their ranks to persuade them from their career of crime. Perhaps I was a little hard on the righteously in-dignants of the group, for I'm sure the majority was bitterly scornful oi the whole proceedings, but I am still convinced that it would be satisfactory if the room were opened to both men and women. Stifled chortles at some rare witticism, especially when it doesn't rise above the level of paper airplanes, seem a trifle out of place during a lovely concert. Campi Coast to Coast ' By Rose Cassidy They laughed when I sat down to write this column. Well, all we (who write this column) know is what we read in the exchange papers. JOY OF BEING AN EDITOR Getting out this little paper is no picnic. If we print jokes people say "That's high school stuff". If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are too fond of our own stuff. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate real genius. If we do print them the paper is filled with junk. If we write a "Keyhole" or a "Muck for Morons'C people say we are catty. If we don't have a scandal column, they say they don't like the paper. Now, like as not, someone will say we swiped this from some other paper. WE DID. "The girl with the silvery laugh is a gold digger' * * * * * Insult or injury? An exchange paper was addressed: Northwest Viking, Burlington State Normal, Bellingham, Washington. Wire tapping on personal calls in girl's schools and junior colleges is a wide-spread practice. Now you will all think that that is where the Viking news hounds get all of their gossip. According to University of Chicago psychologists, excessive bathing may mean a guilty conscience. I wonder if that goes for the summer months too. * * * * * Rolling college, Florida, is the latest to give Presi- : dent Franklin D. Roosevelt an honorary degree. Do you suppose that he would be interested in a teacher's degree from the Bellingham State Normal school? Hello—Everybody' happy? — How many have already decided that there is really not much use to study? — CRYSTAL is a nice name for a girl — DON KABLER must think so — He got himself engaged to one during his spring vacation. Nice going, DON — Say,, CLYDE, since when do you rate having mail addressed to "PROFESSOR" CLYDE KENDALL? — BARBARA GOFF seems to have chosen golf as her next field of conquest since GORDY RICHARDSON left for Alaska. At least, I think that PHTL KIDDER is a golfer. — By the way, what happened to AL? — Another newcomer to Normal, ED MURPHY, is still anybody's game. I'll bet I could have gotten a lot of dirt for here if I could have read some of the letters v the girls of Col-lett Court were so frantic to retrieve when someone set fire to one of the mail boxes. — I wonder if KIETH WETJJEMAN knows what the "W" stands for in WAA when he signed up to go on their hike. You would do well to read the blue book, too, Kieth. Alkisiah is also feministic. Do you follow? — It's too bad ED REISCHMAN didn't return to school this quarter so MARTHINE HANSON could continue to pursue her studies in that interesting course called love. — It is interesting, too. I know. With all these signs of spring in the air I've got it, too. — I enjoy watching KATHRYN HATCH and BOB WHITE stroll around the campus.— Another couple, victims of the season, are BDLL BYL and LOUISE LAMMERS but they've had spring all winter. — Just a tip to some of the lads who haven't seen her yet, take my advice and date ELSA-BELLE CRUTTENDEN. You won't be disappointed. — Just ask MISS BRYANT what she thinks of some stubborn Swedes. — When Alaska calls, some girls are left weeping or at least without boy friends — Like JOSEPHINE SLANINKA. — In fact, we all miss those who went north this trip. — Favorite pastime of mine is heckling those who are struggling with Ed Measurements. — Does anyone want to know vvho Ed measurements is? — There are lots of people who never expect to make this column but give me time .— I'll get you all eventually — So long! — Happy Easter! o Oh, a-hunting we will go. But this time we won't heggle and haunt the ducks. This time the Easter eggs take a beating (not into egg-nog). We're seeking all kinds of Easter eggs—big ones, little ones, speckled ones, plain ones, colored ones, white ones, but all Easter eggs nevertheless. In this picture we see the bunny. Cute little innocent rascal. Little does he suspect that we're not looking for him—just the Easter eggs he's sitting on. o Etikette So Why Easter?. Magazines Breaking away from the old tradition of government by trustees, Black Mountain college in North Carolina has set an educational ideal for itself in its attempt to develop "individuals, not individualists". Its story is told by Louis Adamic in the April HARPERS, under the title of "Education on a Mountain". This institution was founded a few years ago by a group of professors and students who broke away from Rollins college in Florida. "Life without sound is like a deep silent river—all is serene, beautiful, natuarlly conducive to peace." This very unusual reaction.to deafness is the statement of Arthur G. Leisman in his equally unusually titled "I Am Glad I Am Deaf" to be found in April AMERICAN MERCURY. The author insists he would reject ah offer to have his hearing restored—if it were possible. This list of etiquette questions and answers was found in an old, discarded notebook. 1. Should one telephone another during the dinner hours? The way some girls tear around that is the only time one can be sure of catching them in. 2. Is it good taste to discuss personal affairs with acquaintances? Not only bad taste but dangerous. They might be writing the dirt column. 3. Is it all right for one to correct another who has mispronounced his name? After all, when you are being introduced to that beautiful blonde you do want her to get your name right. 4. May salad ever be cut with a knife? Some salads require it. 5.

One of our star milers, John Stiger, failed to appear for track turnout this quarter. Losing a star isn't the only trouble that is getting in the track mentor's hair. We get a couple of days of sunshine and then old sol retreats to let the April showers hold sway for a week or more. In the meantime, men turning out for track grow musty with sitting in-side. Finally a local university made a name for itself in the eastern basketball circle. The U. of W. can now take its bow for its wonderful showing in the Olympic basketball games there. ' What's the reason that our school cant support a women's golf team? I'm sure there are plenty of girls in school that would be only too glad, to represenf this alma mater. Those girls who are not quite so enthus-. astic about the sport should know that judges of feminine pulchritude advise swinging a golf club for— shhh—oh, well, it would at least develop their muscles. Ned Moran and Tommy Whalen will be in training at Coulee dam throughout the summer months. What I mean by training is working. Both of them received jobs on this project. They will return td school next fall quarter to support the Viking football team. Beliingham bay must have something salubrious in its atmosphere for athletes. Royal Brougham stated in his column the other day that Don Hume, stroke on the University crew, spends most of the summer months vacationing around Beliingham and among our local islands.

Pitching Staff Sparkles Clifton, Gook, and Alpaugh Look Good During Practice Despite the continued cold weather the baseball team is rapidly taking shape with the best array of prospective players this school has had for a long time. All the suits have been issued and about 30 men are now angling for regular positions. Chuckers Good The pitching division shows great promise with six men in line for the staff. Bill Bishop is showing improvement and is expected to pitch some air-tight games for the Vikings. Bishop has had past experience on Sumas-Nooksack high school teams, the championship Hopewell grange team, Sumas and Beliingham town teams and a Vancouver team. Oppelt also is coming right along and shows promise of enlarging his reputation obtained while playing on the Centralia team. Other men turning out are George Smith, Clyde Reis, Cliet Dombroski and George Moscrip, who also has his eye on the first base position. Lettermen Back Shangle Cops Top Position On Ladder; Team To Meet Mount Vernon Today With ten aspirants signed up, the annual tennis ladder is once more in use in the Men's physical education office. Coach Lappenbusch plans a a successful season with six matches on schedule. At he present time Ladd Shangle holds the coveted number one position after defeating Mon Orloff in the first official challenge, 6-4, 7-5. Two other matches have also been played. Ed Murphy, who held number three position on the University of Washington Frosh team last year, defeated Starlund in a short match, 6-4, 7-5. Hussey, playing his second year for the Vikings, defeated C. Orloff 6-2, 6-3. The ladder at present shows Shangle on top. Hussey in second position, with M. Orloff, Murphy, Starlund, C. Orloff, Popovic, Dzu-rich, Jensen, and Weeks in the remaining brackets. This order, however, will probably be changed as additional matches are played. The Viking team will meet the Mount Vernon Junior college in their first match today on the Beliingham courts.

Phil Kidder is heading the list after shooting a sparkling 73 on the Lakeway golf course. This is a remarkable score despite the condition of the greens and the relative strangeness of the course to Kidder. Pat Jacobson is next with 75 which is also a fairly good score being four over par. Lindsley and Jerry Jacobson follow wth 79 and 84 respectively. Chase and Morris are tied at the bottom with 89. After the challenge games have been played, the first five will be chosen for the golf team. The first game this season will be with Pacific Lutheran college to be played here. Lessons Start Under the able direction of Wal-lie Lindsley, Lakeway Golf pro, a class of 16 students has begun an extensive course in an effort to gain a working knowledge of the complexities involved in the game of golf. Lakeway golf course is the scene of operations. Starting with the relatively simple putt, the class gradually works into the elements of the long drive. The goal of the class is to eventually gain a good general knowledge of the rudiments of the game during the 22 lessons which they will get by the end of the quarter. Special emphasis is placed on the principles of the swing and stroke. o Two holes-in-one were scored recently in one 18-hole match, by 60- year-old James G.

BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Upperclassmen Issue Journal Here we are back again, feeling very self-satisfied after the buildup Beverly gave us last week. And speaking of buildups, our big-shot today needs none at all. He's quite a matinee idol—well maybe not quite—anyway he does villians very effectively, and if the audience didn't know him so well, we might forget ourselves so far as to hiss in the good old-fashioned way which used to prove the success of a Gay '90's Legree. He's one of these fellows who seems to have time for everything. I n fact, about the only thing he doesn't indulge in is football (or perhaps it would be more timely to mention that he isn't among those who tagger around Waldo field in gay red warmups.) Anyway, it doesn't seem to rush him in the least to take part in enough activities to be one of the best-known men in school, to keep his grades around that enviable 3.75, or whatever it is, to work. — and still have time to do his own cooking! He has a famous sense of humor, and we'd be sure to come pretty • close to the truth if we said he was the best-known jokester around school. Yours sincerely, PERKINS and GENTHER. Of interest to former Fairhaven students is the farewell dance which was given last week-end by Whatcom and Fairhaven students at the South Side hall. The farewell was for the school which burned reentry. Louise Lammers of Davis hall entertained Travis Wirt of Mount Vernon, Lucille Green of Sedro-Woolley, and Mrs. Sherman Prather, of Bellingham. Best Composition of the Winter Appear in Quarterly Book; Allez Edits Junior Journal, quarterly publication of the Campus school seventh and eighth grades, was completed and published before spring vacation by a staff of seventh grade students. It was bound in green and was illustrated by the students. The magazine is composed of seventh and eighth grade compositions dealing wih experiences and activities in which children have participated. Some are illustrated. The Journal is divided into two sections. Instead of the usual collecting of material by a reporter, an editor was put in charge of each section. Seventh Grade Staff Members The special editorial staff was: Mary Main, classroom activities; Russell Denton, stories; Bob Van de Wetering, books; Fred Wairauch, poems; BUI Bamett, sports; Darrell Magg, putside activities; and Walter .de Burgh, anecdotes. The staff wasT*r Fred Allez, editor-in-chief; Shelia Mueller, business manager; Keith Abbott and Pat Ellsperman, art editors; and Miss Bertha Crawford, advisor. The staff was assisted by Miss Dorothy Mcllvain, of the Art department; Mrs. May Love-gren, mimeographing; and Dorothy Goff, student teacher. Block Design on Cover Art editors, with the help of volunteers, designed unit headings for each section of the book, and made the block print for the cover decoration. This publication promotes a keener student interest in written expression, in that only the best is published. It develops close observation and leadership in planning its organization and the experience of publication. It gives the children with the desire or ability to draw or to write an opportunity to express themselves. EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is to take the place of the one appearing in last weeks issue's issue in which some misinformation inadvertly appeared. Newspapers Taken By Beginning Newswriters Outstanding newspapers are on the Viking's subscription list for the spring quarter, all from the United States with the exception of the Vancouver Daily Province. Although the papers studied by the staff usually represent conservative journalism, the Denver Post this quarter is an exception to the rule. Additional papers are the New York Times, the Denver Post, the Emporia Gazette (Emporia, Kansas), and the New Orleans Times-Picayune. About 20 students are making use of the papers to study make-up, policy, advertising and to compare various types of writing as developed by the different editors. Dr, Bond's Birthday Honored At Dinner Party; Alumni Visit Here During Spring Vacation Hoppe 'Addresses PTA Association; Students Out With Illness; Many Guests'Entertained By Normailtes This Week; Elect Officers Although this is only the second week of the quarter, many social events are being held.

PAF Ship Departs on Northward Trip; Six Former Normal Students on Board Six former Normal school students were on board the steamship North King, of the Pacific American Fisheries fleet, when it sailed for Alaska, Tuesday, April 7, at 3 o'clock. Dick Carver, Gordon Richardson, Doug Hansen, Art Herrold, Lon Varnadore, and Sherwood Edwards are the students who are sailing to the northland, where they will be employed in the fish canneries. The boys were granted extra time to visit friends, when the fishermen scheduled to sail on the North King affiliated themselves with the Alaska Fishermen's union and caused a 34-hour delay in sailing in order to work out details of an agreement between the union and the PAF. None of the cannery workers were involved in the conflict, as they have already receive lt;Tan increase in wages from the company for this season. The carftiery tender carried a passenger list of more than 220 employes to the Alaska canneries. They are the first crews to sail from here this season and will man the company plants at Petersburg, Alitak, Squaw Harbor, and King Cove.

But now the Pulitzer Prize-winning author for nonfiction has put away her poetryand yardstick and is beginning to settle into her new surroundings on Lummi Island and preparing forher teaching assignment at Western in the fall as a scholar-in- residence. Dillard, 30, will teach acreative writing course in poetry to be offered this fall through the English department. The other day,the tall, attractive Dillard seemed at home as she sat in an old farm house on Lummi she is watchingwhile the owners are away and talked about her first venture into prose writing and the unbelievablesuccess she has had with the book, "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek." "I'd spent about a year in the RoanokeValley of Virginia reading all the time and walking by Tinker's Creek," she said. "And when you read alot, you accumulate information and thoughts and I began writing down what I saw. "In the middle ofwriting this book I began getting requests to publish excerpts in magazines." Excerpts of the bookappeared in The Atlantic, Sports Illustrated, Prose, Cosmopolitan and Harper's Magazine. The latter'sparent company, Harper's Magazine Press, bought the rights to the book. The final product, which isnow in paperback, is "a personal narrative with lots of natural beauty, natural theology, lots of gore and a lot of hard sayings but virtually nothing happens in it," Dillard said. The book's success has done littleto change her lifestyle although some have tried. "When the book started becoming a success, bypublisher called and asked me to come to New York. But I just couldn't stand New York and the peoplewho are so strange they don't even know they're strange. They expect you to move to there and encloseyourself in some glass-encased office." Her easygoing nature rebels at the mention of publicappearances or personal interviews. "I just don't appear. It's very easy to turn yourself into a publicfigure. You go on the Today show and get millions to buy your books and have people recognize you onthe street. "But I thought it would destroy me. I had a secret fear I would start to need it." Westernisn't her first teaching assignment. She has taught a course in poetry writing at Hollins College inRoanoke. What kind of a teacher will she be? Students at Hollins have told her she was "the mostauthoritarian one they've ever had. But I think it'll be a pure pleasure. I hope we'll be stimulated byeach other's work," she said. Although she said she'd rather do anything else but write it's hard toimagine that the pilgrim won't soon pick up her yardstick and find a Tinker Creek on Lummi Island. ^ esummer tront V TUESDAY, JUNE 24,1975 Vol. 67 No. 50 PULITZER WINNER - Annie Dillard who wonthe Pulitzer Prize for her non-fiction book "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" will teach a creative writing class inpoetry this fall at Western. Trustees vote in two new cluster colleges by DENNIS RITCHIE The list ofcolleges at Western grew by two with the addition of colleges in business and fine arts, approved by theBoard of Trustees' meeting June 5. In a dramatic five-hour marathon session, the trustees approvedthe establishment of a College of Business and Economics and a College of Fine and Performing Arts. Both colleges will come into existence on Jan. 1, 1976. Establishment of a College of Education willhave to wait until the trustees' October meeting because of heavy opposition to the proposal as written.The establishment of the College of Business and Economics has been long favored by theBellingham business community and several student organizations. This support proved to be veryfavorable in getting the proposal approved by the trustees. The main reason given for creation of thebusiness college was that the establishment of a separate college would make Western eligible forconsideration of accreditation by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business.Howard Mitchell, chairman of the economics and business de- Legislative scorecard shows mixed bagfor Western students Ed. Note â€” This is the first of a two-part analysis on how the college andstudents, in particular, fared during the past legislative session. This week our capitol reporters reviewwhat happened to legislation affecting students. OLYMPIA â€” A study of the legislative scorecardshows that if this session is to be remembered for anything, it undoubtably will be for what the legislature didn't accomplish. Talk of tuition hikes for four-year colleges ran rampant during the early months. Butthe talk soon faded when students from across the state descended on Olympia to lobby stronglyagainst any such moves. While various members of the House and Senate tried to balance anunbalanceable budget by hiking tuitions, students calmly noted that any such move would mean lessnumbers of people enrolling in colleges across the state. The strong student lobbying efforts were notedby some House members as the major reason for the rejection of any such legislation. A bill that wouldhave banned almost all sales of alcoholic beverages on state college campuses was vetoed by Gov. DanEvans, after its strong support in the Senate. With the veto Western can continue with its plans for acampus pub. The fate of such plans now is in the hands of the State Liquor Board. Students will getsome benefits from legislation when Evans signs a bill that would allow the three state colleges to grantmaster's degrees in specific areas of study, such as English or chemistry, instead of in broad areas such as "arts" or "sciences." The legislation is designed to make master programs more attractive tostudents and their prospective employers. It-would also lead to an eventual expansion of graduateprograms the college could offer. Evans also signed into law a bill that would allow elderly to fill emptycampus seats in classes. The bill prohibits creation of new classes or expansion of classes for such apurpose, however. On the minus side for students was a bit of housekeeping legislation that wouldauthorize public and private institutions of higher education to restrict cohabitation in student housing.The measure exempts schools from certain laws to prevent sex discrimination. Evans is expected toapprove the bill. But overall the students didn't fare that bad this session or at least not as bad as theymight have. Next week a close look at Western's budget as approved by Gov. Evans. partment andprime mover behind the proposal, said accreditation would g\ve students a "degree that carries aknown background of a quality standard. Accreditation would help students in applying foremployment or graduate schools because of the respect for accredited programs." Theestablishment of a separate, accredited college would also help attract federal grants to improveprograms, according to Mitchell. Although two years will be needed before accreditation could beawarded, the fact that Western is being considered for accreditation is expected to help Westerngraduates now. Still to be worked out in the fall are admission and evaluation procedures along with theselection of a dean for the college. Mitchell said, in an interview several weeks ago, that he will not be a candidate for the dean's post. A search committee to find a dean is expected to be formed thissummer or in early fall. If the new college is to be accredited, stricter requirements for those majorswill be necessary. A major in one of the college's programs will be required to take 72 credit hoursoutside of the College of Business and Economics. Presently, majors face no specific requirements of credit hours outside of their field other than completion of 180 credit hours. The college will include fourprograms which may be similar in structure to departments: accounting, business administration,business education and economics. These programs are not expected to have specific Full- TimeEquivalencies (FTEs) for department chairman duties. Countering arguments that creation of the collegewill take away FTEs from teachers, Mitchell argued at the meeting that only 1.5 FTEs would berequired. This would include the .5 FTE already assigned for the economics and businessdepartment chairman. inside...

Tight budget doesn't hamper PlannedParenthood's activities by MARY LU EASTHAM Planned Parenthood of Whatcom County is infinancial trouble for the first time since they opened their doors in 1970. According to director DorothyGiesecke, their past due accounts total over $12,000. She said she really hates to pressure people topay because the agency is dedicated to the belief that "no unwanted child should be brought, into theworld" and they don't want to turn anyone away who needs help. They will counsel any young woman of child-bearing age, usually 14 to 44, about all forms of contraceptives. They discuss human sexualitywith young women and try to develop an attitude of responsible parenthood. They also do vasectomycounseling for men. Four nurses and five doctors serve the clinic on a rotating basis. Pregnancy tests,pap smears and complete physicals are given. The fees are on a sliding scale, and they charge nothingfor those unable to pay. Those who can pay, however, are urged to do so to meet their loss. Also, anycontributions are welcome. Planned Parenthood is located in the Cascade Building on ChampionStreet. The center is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and clinics are held Tuesdayand Thursday, 6:30 to 10 p.m. For appointments, call 734-9095. Crater's condition confusing Mt. Bakerhas been fogging geologist's field glasses with its steamy smoke signals since March 10, but scientistsstill aren't sure just what it's trying to tell them. Scientists from around the country are engaged in ageological guessing game in an attempt to determine the significance of Baker's increased activity. Inthe past month there have been four periods of especially intense activity, each lasting about a day.On at least one of these days usually white steam clouds turned dark. There have also been periodsof increased "noise" or background seismic activity, which is being constantly monitered by atelemetric seismic information system at the University of Washington. And Baker now has its own little"Crater Lake" formed by ice and snow melted by the increased heat on the mountain. "We're stillwaiting for something more significant to happen," Dwight R. Crandell of the U.S. Geological Surveysaid. "As of now, we simply don't know." But the mountain has been throwing out some hintsrecently, in the form of newly formed bits of volcanic glass and quartz particles, which may mean that the increased activity is deep seated and very hot. For the present, Baker's geological doctors willcontinue to take the mountain's temperature and keep a close watch on its vital life signs in an attemptto diagnose the volcano's condition. NOT THE PRIMER - "No, that red color's a finished job," HarrySkinner, Facilities Development spokesman, said yesterday concerning the paint job done last week onDi Suvero sculpture "For Handel." The sculpture has gone through various stages of colors in its briefexistence. From natural rust, to blasted black, to primer rust, to red-light orange in one week. "ForHandel," the subject of heated controversy during winter quarter, is in the news again. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 24 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, June 24,1975 Western Front 3 Summer Front The presses are rolling again with this, the firstedition of the Summer Front.

After this issue, the regularpublishing day will be Thursday. Summer in Bellingham, M it ever stops raining, can offer a uniquevariety of outdoor activities at some of the top recreational areas in the country. For this reason, theSummer edition of the Front will inform Western's population of the opportunities and areas availablethroughout the quarter. The Summer Front welcomes contributions in the form of photography, graphics,and stories from all members of the college community. The deadline for material submitted to the Frontwill be Tuesdays at noon. Front office hours will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and from 11a.m.to4p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays.

A week after the trustees' non-action on the proposal, Gallegosstated optimistically, "I don't view actions of the trustees as a defeat, just a delay. Besides, we now have a task force doing an analysis that would have had to have been done anyway." The trustees haddelayed action because of heavy opposition from faculty and some college committees. The trusteesrequested position papers be drawn up so they can make a final decision in October. Gallegos saidthat he thinks the college could be approved in October and still start on Jan. 1, 1976 along with theCollege of Business and Economics and the College of Fine and Performing Arts. The establishment ofa College of Education is designed to better coordinate field training for students, particularly those"already teaching who need more training for certain teaching certificates. The undergraduates,theoretically, would benefit from a better coordinated clinical teaching internship which can last eithertwo or three quarters. The college would coordinate the teaching programs of physical education,science education and speech pathology/audiology. Gallegos hailed the main advantages of theproposal as better coordination and planning of field and competency based teaching programs. He saida College of Education would have less of an overlap of the various education programs. Gallegosemphasized that a College of Education would not be a cluster college but a professional college.Business prof to present h/s new course ideas at August conference by STEVE THOMPSON Westernbusiness professor Farrokh Safavi will present a report on "informatice method" of teaching businesscourses to the annual meeting of the Academy of Management in New Orleans in August. Safavi hasdeveloped this method after years of developing other means of teaching business courses. Safaviopposes the philosophy of the "marketeer" being insolated from his market and proceedings onassumptions of what the consumer wants. "To hell with these assumptions. Go and find out," he saidabout the traditional classroom teaching. The theories are presented with a practical application. Astudent must learn to work them out. All theories taught must be applied. In 1970, Safavi developed theconsumer planning approach to marketing education. The class is divided into teams of three-to-fivestudents. Each team must invent a new product for the Bellingham area. The student teams thenresearch to see if the market is large enough to begin production. This program received specialrecognition and wa published in the "American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business Bulletin."He was soon to develop the triangular approach. The students develop their skills of producingadvertisements by working in the news media. - Students contact the business community and sell ads. They produce the ads and place them in the media. "The ads produced were of such a high quality they gained the attention of the editor of Education Media," Safavi said. A summary of the program waspublished in July 1974. Safavi has also developed the "case method" of instruction. In it a student is given the background information of an organization in trouble, the student must analyze the problems of thecase and suggest solutions. This year Safavi has begun the "informatice method." It is similar to thecase method except that not all the information is supplied. It forces the students to develop theinformation they need to complete the analysis. Each student is given a budget. The missing information has a price. The price of the information chosen is deducted from the budget. A student must choosethe most appropriate information and analyze it. The problem must be solved within the budget. Afterdiscovering the problem, corporate strategy is formulated to correct it. Safavi submitted a paper on theresults of the informatice method to the program committee of the Academy of Management. Theyaccepted the paper and invited him to present his approach and findings. The academy has a world wide recognition. It is the highest body of scholars of business management in the world. The meeting willbe attended by professors and scholars of management from throughout the world. Advertise in theWestern Front Classifieds: 35 cents a line, 70 cent minimum SUMMER CASH!!

Referendums need final confirmation By Christine ValdezAlthough they said "yes" to installment tuition payments and paying with credit cards, before thestudents get these options a final affirmative is needed from the Board of Trustees. This also goes for the official seal being changed from George An overwhelming 87 percent of the voters said they want theoption to pay their tuition in installments. Before the students even considered the referendum, theLegislature had adopted a bill allowing students the same thing, said AS President for External AffairsJeff Doyle. Western Controller Don Sturgill said the bill was not put tuition over July, August andSeptember. Winter and spring quarter tuitions would have to be paid during the preceding quarters.Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke said paying the installments for tuition during the samequarter is illegal because "theoretically, you're receiving something before you pay for it." bill honoringcredit cards issued by any bank in Washington. The problem is, Bohlke said, Western can't pay thesurcharge if a bank requires it for servicing the credit card receipts, and Western can't charge thestudents the extra percentage, she said, "The trick is to not require the state to pay for the student,"Bohlke said.

The Legislature alsopassed a Vice President Don Cole said the only way he could see the credit-card plan being startedwould be if the Legislature passed a constitutional amendment allowing Western to pay the surcharge. He said both the tuition-installment and credit-card plans would be expensive for Western because ofthe increased bookkeeping. Changing the official seal will require approval by the Board of Trustees. Jan Vickery said she will distribute a questionnaire to' the faculty and administration to get their opinionwhether to change to the Old Main seal. "If we bring 94 percent of the faculty like the 94 percent of thestudents who voted for it (the referendum) and say, 'see, this is what they want,' they should beresponsive," Vickery said. The decision whether to name "Louie, Louie" the official school song alsomay rest on the trustees. Board of Trustees member Craig Cole said that, to him, the students alreadymade the decision. "I congratulate the students on their wise decision," Cole said. He activelyadvocated making "Louie, Louie" the state song. AS adviser Jack Smith said the AS board could declare the song the AS school song. The trustees or Western President G. Robert Ross would have to namethe song the official school song, however. Asked if he would push the referendum to the trustees nextyear, AS President-Elect Jeff Doyle said, "If there were people that wanted us (the AS) to, I think wewould." Senate approves Fairhaven plan By Elizabeth Parker In a close vote Monday, the FacultySenate recommended approval of the University Planning Council's proposed three-year contingencyplan that would eliminate Fairhaven College in event of a $1.5 million budget cut. "It seems likecutting Fairhaven certainly brings out the full house," Senator Rand Jack of Fairhaven said to thecrowded room of senators and spectators. The vote to approve the contingency plan passed 15-10,with five senators abstaining. The senate's recommendation now goes to Vice President for AcademicAffairs Paul Ford for approval. He must present any objections he has in writing to the Faculty Senatewhich must negotiate the differences before Ford can recommend approval. "1 want to study it. I don'tplan to do anything yet," Ford said. "It's a serious matter and it deserves some attention." WesternPresident G. Robert Ross then will make a recommendation and send it to the Board of Trustees forapproval. "I haven't given it (the contingency plan) much thought. There's really no compelling reason to. This is something the Faculty Senate and Planning Council are required to do each year," Rosssaid. "My position is well known. I told the Front two years ago I didn't come here to take action toeliminate Fairhaven." Jack asked Planning Council member Erwin Mayer, who helped draft thecontingency plan, whether other programs within the university had been considered for cuts. Mayersaid the council did not want to begin suggesting cuts below the college level. "It runs contrary to ourobjective (to suggest such cuts)," Mayer said.

Films funded,recycling not By Karen Jenkins On-camp-us movie-goers may be offered fewer movies or charged higher prices next year, even though the Associated Students will subsidize the films for the first time.Wednesday, the AS Board of directors approved next year's budget, including $1,000 for the ProgramCommission film series. The AS decided to begin subsidizing the series because it has beenrunning a deficit in previous years. PC Coordinator Shannon Wilcox told the board the $ 1,000 may notbe enough for the PC to continue offering its current level of service. "We're looking at big problemsright here, and $1,000 isn't going to take them very far," Wilcox said. Wilcox and members of the boarddiscussed options, such as raising the price of the movies or offering them only twice a week. AS boardmember George Sidles said the-board should not discuss how the PC will solve its budgeting problems. "I don't want to be giving programming suggestions to people we pay to do the programming," Sidlessaid. The board also voted to take $5,000 originally budgeted for the Recycling Center and put it into adiscretionary account, where the board puts its unbud-geted money. The Recycling Center Task Forcehas been talking with the administration about the possibility of it taking over funding for the center. Ifthe administration decides not to fund the center, the money can be taken out of the discretionaryaccount to pay for it. Also at the meeting, Vice President for Student Affairs Joan Sherwoodannounced that summer quarter students will pay a health services fee, for the first time, this year. Thefee will be $6," the same amount students pay per quarter during the academic school year.Sherwood said the fee will reduce the service's $38,000 deficit by about"$ 12,000. She said the fee is fair since currently "the students in the academic year are subsidizing the students who are here for thesummer, and I've never felt that was right." AS Board Member Terri Echelbarger objected to the feebeing decided on without consulting students. "It really disturbs me now that we have a health servicethat is completely funded by students and the students have no say in how it is run. "We're paying for it and you're deciding, and that really disturbs me," she added. In other AS business, the board voted torecommend establishing a polling place on campus for general elections. Ryherd will begin working with Whatcom County Deputy Auditor Pete Griffith on bringing a polling place to Western.

Discussion topics ranging from dealing with homophobia, the fear of homosexuals, to theproblems of being Christian and gay were highlighted all week. The panels, attended by homosexualsand heterosexuals, outlined the problems homosexuals face daily. One of the main goals of GayPride Week was to help those still "in the closet to accept themselves as worthwhile human beings,"Eichstedt, a student working in the center, said. She estimated more than 800 Western students aregay, and only 150 of them use the center for assistance or information. Another goal of the week was to promote awareness of the gay population to the "straight community," she said. "It's important thatthey (the straight community) know there are a lot of us. We're not just a small minority with no impact. They can't ignore that we exist. We have the same rights that other people have.

At least one out of every four families have at least one homosexual member, she said. "Everyoneknows one. Maybe they don't know it, but they know one." She said society has a misinterpretationof what it means to be a homosexual. "People identify us as sex-crazed. That's simply not true. TheAmerican Psychiatric Association took homosexuality off the list of sexual deviance in 1973.Homosexuals are not something we choose to be; it's just something we are," Eichstedt said. Shesaid the correct definition of "homosexual" is "someone who is emotionally, affectionately, sociallyand sexually attracted to members of the same sex." Eichstedt said she hopes the awareness will help promote the gay liberation movement. She said she wants to be gay and lead a normal life. "It's timewe said 'we've had enough." We're going to stop it (the oppression) and become more outspoken," sheadded. She said people are afraid to admit being homosexual because of public ridicule, losing theirjobs or being rejected by friends and family. "It's not fair to be afraid because I have a woman lover,"Eichstedt said. "There's a direct correlation between the amount we are out in public to the amount ofretaliation from homophobics," she said. An example of retaliation is tearing down signs advertisingthe center's activities. Or placing posters around campus telling students to wear tennis shoes ifthey don't support gay rights to combat the "Support Gay Rightsâ€”wear Blue Jeans Day," Eichstedtsaid. Gay Pride Week was part of the Rites of Spring activities sponsored by the Associated Students. Journalists win.

VETERANS OUTREACH CENTER is ---------- Western Front - 1985 May 17 - Page 3 ---------- FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 3 A shared zeal for reform Yippic and Yuppie face off indebate By Ron Judd Fifteen years ago, Abbie Hoffman was greeted on a campus speaking tour acrossTexas with signs that read "KILL THE COMMIE JEW." Banned from speaking in 14 states, he often hadto be whisked to and from anti-war speeches in a facedown position on the floors of vans with theirwindows blackened. Tuesday night he walked through an overflow crowd of about 600 in the Viking Union Lounge and was recognized by only a few people. Hoffman, 48, may have seemed somewhat of anold revolutionary relic to many in attendance, but by the time his two-and- a-half hour debate with formerrevolutionary partner Jerry Rubin ended, it was clear that neither had lost his zeal for reform. In theopening remarks of their "Yippie JERRY RUBIN vs. Yuppie"debate, Hoffman and Rubin, architects ofmany of the largest protests against the Vietnam War in the 1960s and co-defendants in the famous"Chicago Seven" conspiracy trial in 1969, agreed that despite the progress they helped achieve duringthe '60s, American society still needs to be reshaped to make it more just. Ask them how that shouldbe done, however, and you've got an argument on your hands. Rubin, Hoffman and three others in 1968coined the term "Yippie" (initially a take-off of "hippie" which later came to stand for Youth InternationalParty) to describe followers of their anti-war, anti-establishment movement. Rubin recently spurred use of the term Yuppie, the group of young, urban professionals he now represents and promotes as the up-and-coming power-brokers in American society and politics. Rubin, wearing a suit and tie anddramatically sipping Perrier throughout the debate, began by saying he was excited by the fact theprotesting "baby-boom" generation of the 1960s was reaching maturity and soon would constitute thegovernment of the 1980s and ^Os. Rubin said he was proud of the '60s and the many gains made bythe protest movement. The decade of the 1970's, however, was a "learning experience" for the leaders of the '60s, who were" surprised by Watergate, the United States pullout from Vietnam and thewomen's movement, which forced movement leaders to abandon their "macho Che Guevara image," hesaid. The resulting "psychological depression" among former protesters, coupled with the explosionsof many "myths" (such as the belief drugs would improve society) they once held to be true, prompted the 75-million Americans born between 1945 and 1965 to realize they were the majority in America andcould transform the society from within, he said. Rubin said these baby-boomers "seemed to disappearinto a million solitary joggers" in early '80s, but re-emerged with the Gary Hart presidential campaignof 1984. That same element in society that opposed capitalism in the 1960s now provides thebackbone of the American capitalist structure, Rubin said, as 80 percent of jobs in the United Statesare created by businesses fewer than four years old. Neither candidate in the 1980 election appealed tothis new majority, he said, but "I predict in 1988 you will see a Yuppie-oriented candidate electedpresident of the United States . . . and in every election into the third decade of the 21 st Century." Andas the government, he said, the baby-boomers would re-orient America's relationship to theunderdeveloped world by becoming a friend to social movements around the world, not by attacking theestablishment, as was the ultimately self-destructive tactic of the '60s. "Abbie Hoffman is the last voicefrom the 1960s. My message to you is simple," he concluded. "To those of you in this room who intendto become successful, I say you can be successful, and at the same time, not have to then become a'heartless Republican.' The message on that (Hoffman's) side is that if you become successful,you're part of the problem . . . To those of us who quit the system in the '60s and rejoined in the 70s and'80s, the future belongs to us." H offman, who began by quietly mutter-ing, "Now a word from the has-been," gave a quick rundown of his activities since becoming a fugitive, which included environmentalactivism, travel in Honduras and Nicaruagua and workshops on ending aid to Contras attempting tooverthrow the Nicaraguan government. His organizing campaigns, even those conducted while heoperated underground, have been quite successful. Hoffman's recent victories, such as a victory over theArmy Corps of Engineers in New York, were accomplished through traditional methods: voter registration, civil disobedience and grassroots organization, he said. "I still have fire in my belly," he said, "and Istill believe people can effectively organize. "We've fought great battles against great odds, but we didnot invent the cry for peace and freedom in the 1960s, and we certainly didn't write its final chapter.There's a lot of unfinished business out there," Hoffman said. Some of that business, he said, isspreading the word that some believers in '60s ideals still exist. "I'm joining these debates to challengethe mythology that all of us who were idealistic and politically active once have rushed to embrace theworld of designer brains," he said to applause and laughter. "From the spectrum of a political activist Idon't have the same kind of cheery, upbeat optimism my former comrade Jerry has today," he said, citing toxic waste, racial and sexual discrimination, Central American difficulties and the widening economicgap between the rich and poor in America. Launchingan attack on Rubin's optimism for the Americaneconomy, Hoffman's voice grew louder and more irritated. His pointing, waving arms created a whiteblur against the black backdrop as he discounted the prospects of Yuppies saving America. "RonaldReagan and George Bush tell' the same Horatio Alger stories that Jerry ABBIE HOFFMAN Rubin tells.I'm not opposed to entrepe-neurship, but this is a society of 250 million . . . You simply cannot go upto a black woman with 10 kids living in Harlem and say 'Go out and invent an Apple Computer!'"Hoffman's voice got a notch louder as he leaned over the podium and accused Rubin and Yuppies ofignoring the larger problems of society. "Jerry chooses not to see any problems out there, so he doesn'tcall attention to a crisis . . . He has no plan for action, no strategy. Listening to Jerry is like reading USA Today, like going to an Amway convention, but it is not reality." "Jerry's world, his world that jogsaround on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is about as narrow as his tie. "How do Yuppies commit suicide? They pile their clothes up and they jump off the top." Hoffman went on to dismiss Rubin's claim that the new Yuppies, once in power, would act differently than other elites merely because they possessed a"new age consciousness." America should not consist of a class of professionals and non-professionals,he said. â€¢ See DEBATE, p. 12 binyon OPTICAL CENTER 676-2020 Corner of Railroad MagnoliaWe Care How You Look and here is $25 to prove it!

Crew seeks Coast titles Before last Monday and Tuesday's regional golf championship inTacoma, Western's Steve Nightingale said he had made his reservations to Phoenix, where the nationalgolf championships will be held. And after the team's 41-stroke victory over rival Pacific LutheranUniversity and four other teams, Coach Bill Westphal and the rest of the team can get their bagspacked. But the Vikings' hero was not Nightingale, Al Patterson or Eric Aaserud, the threesophomores-who have led the team through the season. The unlikely hero was Western's fourth man,freshman Rich Morgan, who fired a four-under-par 67 in the final round. Morgan's score came afteropening rounds of 75 and 78'over the par-71 Fir-crest Golf and Country Club. Morgan struggled on thegreens, having three three-putts and a four-putt during the first 36 holes. But it all came together for himin the final round when he hit only 24 putts for the 18 holes. "It was nice," Morgan said. "1 haven't played very well in tournaments this year." Morgan, who sports a four handicap at Redmond's Sahalee CountryClub, one of the top courses in the state, nearly didn't attend Western this year. His first choice was theUniversity of Washington, but the coach there kept putting him on hold until Morgan finally decided toforget the university and come to Western. And right about now Westphal is glad he did. Westphal saidfor the season Morgan has averaged 79, and after his latest performance, his confidence must begrowing going into the nationals, which will be held at Phoenix's Wigwam Country Club. Anotherwhose confidence may not be so high is Nightingale, who said he still has something to prove. Afteropening with a 69, which he said was the best round of golf he had ever played, he followed with twosomewhat dismal rounds of 77 and 78." Nightingale said the 69 could easily have been a 65 if he hadbeen able to drop a few 15-foot putts. His putting shaped up the last two rounds, but they were to savepar instead of birdie. Part of his problem, Nightingale said, was he broke his driver before thetournament and had to use a new one. During his final round Nightingale hit 11 trees. Nightingale saidit was nice to beat PLU by 41 strokes. "I think we even surprised ourselves," Nightingale said. He added he has played well against PLU throughout the season, and they have been a "motivating force" for hisperformances. Last season PLU blew out the Vikings to earn the right to go to nationals. Western's crew teams are the only varsity squads slated for action this weekend. Two men's shells and three women'sshells will compete in the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships Saturday and Sunday on LakeNatoma, near Sacramento, Calif. The men's varsity-eight, comprised of Jim Huton, Carl Fjelsted, BobGriffiths, Mike Pugel, Eric Heilborn, Jack Egbert, Rick Tredwell, Steve Brister and coxswain MartinSauvage, has won its last three races, including a win at the Cascade Sprints, which serve as theNorthwest small college championships. It also was the Viking heavyweights third straight win at theCascade Sprints. The men's novice eight, winning four of eight races this spring, claimed its secondstraight crown at the Cascade Sprints. The novice eight consists of William Spaulding, Matt Preston,Mike Monson, Kevin Uttech, Jeff McKee, Todd Broderick, Chris Cognasso, Thomas Seifert andcoxswain Michelle Lerner. The Viking crews sometimes use women coxswains to keep the shell'sweight down. The women's open eight has been completely changed since it placed fourth at theCascade Sprints. Tara Solkey, Betsy Bower, Cheryl Channing, Lynn Sundquist, Tanya Brown, LeslieAim, Allison Dey, Nancy Evans and coxswain Cheryl Ryan, make up the new open-eight. Brown,Day, Aim, Evans and Ryan will comprise the women's open-four. This group has won three races thisspring as a quartet but managed only a fourth at the Cascade Sprints. The women's novice-four,made up of Sundquist, Solkey, Kate Steward, Melanie Fenton and coxswain Sue Quigley, placed thirdat the Cascade Sprints.

For someone who doesn't like what he's doing, sprinter Fred Pulphus sure does it well. Pulphus, 23-year-old junior at Western said, "I hate the 400 and I hate the 200, because they're not my races. I came to Western to run the 400-meter hurdles and be a decathlete." He said it comes down to the philosophy of the Western track team, which is to do what is best for the team. "You could be Carl Lewis here, and it wouldn't make any difference. It's what's goingto be best for the team, and right now, it's best for me to run the 400 and the 200 because I win,"Pulphus said. Not only does he win, but he breaks records. At Edmonds High School he set thestandard in the 180 low hurdles in 20.2 seconds. At Western he owns the 200-and 400-meter marks,clocking a 21 .9 and 48.38, respectively. He also teamed with Rob Soo, Paul Thornsteinson andGarron Smith in the 4X100 relay. The quartet broke its own record of 42.6, running 42.48 at the NAIADistrict 1 meet last Friday. Next season Pulphus would like to add the 100-meter record to hiscollection. He ran a 10.6 at the Viking Twilight meet, but was denied the record because the timers"screwed up." The current standard is 10.7 by Garron Smith in 1984 and . Walt Schilaty in 1937. "Iwant to win the 100-meter recordâ€”more so than anything," Pulphus said. Pulphus' sprinting career got started in junior high school when, as a gymnast, he was noticed by the school's wrestling Fun runlooks Bright The Western Alumni Association will host the Eighth Norman Bright Road Run at 1 p.m.Sunday. The road race starts on South College Drive near Western, winds through the south side ofBellingham, and ends back at Western. The 5.5-mi]e run is named in honor of Bright, a 1929 Western graduate. After a distinguished career for the Vikings, Bright set an American record for the two-milerun before set-tlingdown to a teaching career. After retiring from the classroom, Bright went back intorunning and competed on an international level. A serious injury and long hospital stay halted his running in 1977, but Bright was back for the First Norman Bright Road Run in 1978. Bright will run in this year's race, despite the fact that he is nearly blind. The top five placers in each of 14 age and sex divisionswill be awarded ribbons. Proceeds benefit the Western Alumni Association. The entry fee is $3 for non-students and $2 for students with valid I.D. Entrants may pay today at the Alumni Office, Old Main 475.or near the starting line the day of the race. coach, who convinced him to try wrestling. From there, atrack coach saw him and said Pulphus would make a good hurdler and pole-vaulter. The start of histrack career in the seventh grade proved Pulphus would be someone to reckon with in the future. "Iwas wasting a lot of the ninth-grade varsity guys in the hurdles and sprints," he said. "I was undefeatedin the hurdles and the pole vault." In high school Pulphus participated in football, wrestling and track.He suffered a broken ankle during'football season in his junior year and was forced to sit out track.. Hedidn't have a great year in track until his senior year, when he set the record in the 180 low hurdles. Buteven with the record, Pulphus said he wasn't really serious about running. "I did not know what trainingwas at that time," he said. Because of his lack of training, Pulphus had'a terrible time at the state trackmeet. "I made it to the semi-finals in the hurdles and got blown-out. I didn't even qualify for the semi's inthe 200 meters," he said. Pulphus said his lack of proper coaching in high school and a lack ofconfidence in his skills led to an "I don't care attitude." Pulphus kept a casual attitude toward track while wrestling was his forte during his first two quarters at Columbia Basin College. But when he receiveda track and wrestling scholarship to Ricks College, a private Mormon school in Idaho, he jumped at theopportunity. "They had a hair code, dress code and stuff like that, but they gave me a track andwrestling offer, so I went there," he said. After a championship season in track at Ricks, academicinterests brought Pulphus to Western. "I heard the sociology program at Western was reallygood," he said. Pulphus also said he wasn't recruited, so he just walked on to the track team. "I justwent up, introduced myself to Ralph (Vernacchia, Western men's track coach) and said, 'Hi, I'd like toturn out,'and he said, 'fine â€” see you Monday."' In his first year he was ineligible for track becausehis semester credits from Ricks were taken at "straight value." In the quarter system he didn't haveenough credits to compete. "My first year, I couldn't do anything, which was very frustrating," he said. His lackluster attitude changed to a more serious tone, though, and it showed in his second season.Pulphus set the school record in the 200 meters and then in the 4X100 relay. This year, he added the400- meter record and he is headed for the national meet in Michigan, May 25 and 26. " Pulphus saidthe national meet will be a good challenge because in the district meets he wasn't really pushed. "Thecompetition will be incredible. I'm hoping they will push me to run a 47," he said. And if he doesn't, hestill has next year to better his records and set new ones. "Next season, I would like to have the 100-200-and 400-meter records. Then I'll be satisfied," Pulphus said.

It was Dutch. What he probably forgot was that a large number of Lynden townsfolkare Dutch. Foods with names such as Uitsmijter and Krenten Bollen met Erwten soup did not have thedelicious, delicate sound of French croissants or the mouth-watering familiarity of the all-Americanhotdog and hamburger. It didn't matter what the restaurant, Dutch Mothers, didn't have. It mattered what it did haveâ€”the Wystras. Along with the Wystras came the creativity. In March J 982, Jim and CarolynWys-tra established their restaurant, Dutch Mothers, in a downtown building that had housed apharmacy. The lowered ceiling was removed to show the original pressed-metal ceiling and skylighting. Carpet was pulled back from the store entrance and halls to display the original wooden floors. TheWystras bought antiques to reflect an older, Dutch flavor in their restaurant and to sell to customers.Wystra said the demand for their antiques became so great they sent a man to the Midwest with atrailer to attend auctions and replenish the restaurant's dwindling furnishings. "Now we'll sell if someonereally wants it," she said. At one point, Wystra specifically selected all of the coffee cups and saucersindividually so they wouldn't match. Matching mugs replaced the individualized cups as she learned thecoffee cooled too quickly in the older sets. Opening the restaurant "was a lark," Carolyn said. Herhusband started it to do something creative for fun. "It has been a lot more work than he anticipated,"she said. The Wystras exhibit their own creative style, which reflects pride in their Dutch heritage andtraits of orderliness and cleanliness. The restaurant is divided into different areas to reflect the diversenature of the mother country. "It used to be a shame to be Dutch. You wanted to be as American aspossible." The Wystras, both 41, grew up in Lynden. They moved to places around the world, such asHawaii and Nigeria, and retired 17 years later. While traveling they visited Holland several times, buthaven't returned since. Wystra said she wants to see the country again for more ideas for the restaurant. In the front room, called the Borderij, or farm room, the walls are covered with rough barn wood,reminding visitors of the area's farming industry. Adjoining rooms follow themes of flowers, the BloemenKamer (flower room) with its skylight and religion in the Theologie Kamer (theology room) with pictures of the early Dutch Reformed pastors. Waiters and waitresses, dressed in traditional vollen damcostumes, greet visitors, including those from Holland and many nearby Hollanders from across theCanadian border. Wystra said she hopes her visitors feel at home at Dutch Mothers. On Saturdaynights, Klompendancers entertain at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m., imitating waltz-like steps,, square dancing andwindmill motions while wearing wooden shoes. After the performances, a local accordianist leads dinersin Dutch songs, a favorite activity, which brings in regular visitors. To satisfy their customers, theWystras strive for authenticity in their food and costumes. Wystra requires her workers to wear Dutchpointed hats, dark socks and aprons. Authenticity and customer satisfaction is considered whenplanning the ever-changing menu. Uitsmitjer, quite common in Holland, consists of an egg served onbuttered bread with ham. Wystra said Americans are used to toasted bread and think the restaurant islazy for not toasting it, but in Holland it is served fresh. Dutch Mothers also dropped American cheeseand switched to Dutch cheeses in all of its recipes. Looking for the right menu led Wystra to joke aboutstarting a "used menu shop." At Christmas time, she thought of post-holiday dieters and emphasizedsalads on the menu. To get the right combination, Wystra took the Dutch Mothers' chefs out to lunch atother restaurants, sampling dishes and experimenting. Although Wystra admitted chicken salad andmuffins with bran and blueberries are her favorite menu items, "We still want to cater to what peoplewantâ€”the everyday people." Since the "everyday" people around Lynden appreciate a good pie, pieswere added to their bakery selection. Pies are notpart of Dutch cuisine, so their Dutch baker had to betaught how to make them, she said. The seven-course Dutch dinner is recommended for people whowant to savor a traditional dinner and who have a lot of time. "At least an hour, preferably a couple ofhours, should be set aside," she said. Wystra said the town of Lynden is moving toward a Dutchtheme. Across the street from the restaurant, the Delft Square shopping mall opened in the formerLynden Department Store, which had been vacant for several years. "We're proud to be Dutch," she said. "That's who we are; that's what makes us unique â€” we're going to go for it. Instead of trying to be likethe rest of the world, we're going to stay who we are."

In many cities and towns, finding the mayor can be difficult.Often you must drive to a large, granite building and walk up flights of stairs to find the desk of a busyreceptionist who tells you the mayor is either on the phone or out of town. In Lynden, a town with 4,500people, visitors may chat with the town's mayor and not even know it. This mayor seldom is found in astuffy office with sheafs of paper. Instead of f i n d i n g h im at City Hall, Lynden's mayor can be foundinside a pale-green building labeled "Vanderpol and Maas Complete Automotive Service." Look for theworker with "Egbert" stitched across his navy-blue coveralls. The middle-aged man with the sandy hairand glasses working underneath a semi truck or restoring a vintage automobile is the mayor. At 61,Egbert Maas has more than 30 years of automotive experience. He also has more than 20 years ofexperience in politics, 18 of them as a member of the city council and nearly four years as mayor. Atthe end of the year, Maas' term will expire. He hasn't decided if he'll seek re-election. When formermayor Jim VanAndel chose to resign office four years ago, the council elected Maas to replace him. Inthe following month, Maas ran for the office in a public campaign and kept it. Nearly 22 years ago, the Lynden police chief came into the shop and suggested Maas run for the city council. Although Maashad never thought of politics before, he thought it over and decided to do it. "I thought it wasinteresting," Maas said. "It was and it still is." Maas works at the mayor's office a half-hour each dayâ€” from 2 to 2:30 p.m., plus a half-day each week. A lenient schedule allows him to work full time at hisautomotive shop. While many towns seem to cause debate with topics such as their distribution offunds, Lynden has gained attention with its stand on other issues. Several years ago, Lynden wasplaced into the spotlight by the national media. Television networks, The Wall Street Journal and TheChicago Tribune all made mention of the town only five miles from the Canadian border. The issuespotlighted was dancing and drinking. Lynden's city council firmly said no to mixing the two. One of thetown's restaurants. The Harvest House, which had installed a dance floor near its bar, said yes. TheHarvest House lost its dancing and soon after, disappeared from Lynden. After media attention haddied ^BiSBMiBiittilll^B!

Behind him are reminders of his 29 years of Lynden Mayor EgbertMaas has more than 20 years of small down, many did not understand what the issue had been, Maassaid. The city ordinance states people can't dance where liquor is sold. "It means no dancing intaverns," Maas said. However, in controlled situations, such as wedding receptions, the dancing anddrinking combination may legally be observed, he said. "A controlled atmosphere and clientele," Maassaid, makes the difference. The difference with a tavern, he said, is "anyone is there, and for one reason (to drink). It adds to the police problem and to the cost of running a city." The problem arose about 10years ago when the old ordinance had disappeared while the city's files were reorganized. In theprocess, many old laws were discovered that no longer applied to the city, such as which side of thestreet to tie one's horse. Along with obsolete laws, the ordinance for dancing and drinking probablywas thrown out, Maas said. When The Harvest House sought a dance floor, the city discovered theordinance was missing and quickly re-enacted another one to replace it. "It's not a city where youcan't have a good time," Maas said, explaining that he is,a sports fan and is active in the community,aside from his role of mayor. - "People like to live here for its neatness, friendliness and cleanliness,"he added. Maas emphasized that Lynden is unique because of the things that it hasâ€”like pride for thecity. When the city needs land to widen streets, the townspeople contribute to the cause. "We askpeople if they are willing to give their property," Maas said. "It means we can put in two or three timesas many streets." Instead of extra costs from the city paying large sums of money to each citizen forsmall pieces of land, the citizens give the land, keeping city costs and their taxes down. "It's only thecost of putting in the street, instead of the legal hassles," he said. When one man complained hedeserved money for his land, Maas asked him how he got downtown. The man said he drove down FrontStreet, the most frequently used street in town. Maas told him people along Front Street gave their landfor that street. The man quit arguing. Another different aspect of Lynden's personality is the Sundayquietness. The library, banks, restaurants, gas stations, barber shops and even the town car wash allare closed on Sundays. Lynden has the only Safeway store in Washington that is closed on Sundays,Maas said. "It would lose trade by opposing the wishes of the people of the city," he said. Maaspointed out "there is so much business to be done," and the limited amount could be conducted in six or seven days. Lynden simply chooses to do all its work in six days. ---------- Western Front - 1985 May 17 - Page 8 ---------- 8 WESTERN FRONT Arts Entertainment FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1985 Actors re-create old sailor's tale ByShaun McClurken The final dress rehearsal was finished. The cast members, back in their streetclothes, sat near the stageâ€”many taking notesâ€” while director Tom Ward reviewed their work. Theplay "Never a Snug Harbour" opened Wednesday night. It is based on the true story of Will Brent, amember of the British Royal Navy, who jumped ship in the early 1900s. He took a new name, HenryLewis, and went on to have a distinguished career as an American commercial ship captain. Most ofWard's pointers dealt with the. need to keep track of small props on and near the stage and the blocking for a scene involving two brothers, a drunk and many chairs. Overall, though, they had "the physicalfeel of the show," Ward assured them. "I like the vocal quality of the show." He said the actors havesuccessfully removed the show from 1985 Bellingham. The stage behind him flashed light and dark,seemingly at random, as the light crew ran through its set-ups. The play, by David Ulysses Clarke,still is evolving and Western's production is helping Clarke develop the drama. Ward and his cast already have turned the formerly chronological play into a "memory piece" and changed passages to clarify thescript and to make it smoother. "We hope to discover where the play's strengths are, where itsweaknesses are; and to find things to help the script," Greg Berry, assistant director, said. Brent(Steven Garlid) uses the navy to flee a family stricken by poverty, a nearly absent father (Ross Dustin)and a brother just killed by tuberculosis. He returns three years later after jumping ship to find thingslittle changed. He must flee the authorities and resolves to make a life for himself in America. Othercast members are Casey Osborn, Jason Tromsness, Donald Larson, Seth McKenzie, Martha Benedict,Karen Barich and Craig Willis. SHAUN McCl.URKEN Mary Brent (Martha Benedict) comforts her dyingson Charlie (Seth McKenzie). Her son Will (Steven Garlid) will soon flee his dead-end Welsh life. Late inlife, and after a very successful career as a commercial captain, Brent succumbed to his guilt and wroteto the Royal Navy, turning himself in. The navy wrote back saying, "That's fine. Have a nice retirement."Clarke met Brent/Lewis in New York City in the 70s when Lewis was in his 80s. The play tells the storyof why the young man so long ago decided to leave home and change his name. Early in the production, the cast worked with Nora Dunfee, a dialect coach who has worked with many actors including MelGibson, Jessica Lange and James Earl Jones. She also is Clarke's wife. Cast and crew will enlist thehelp of the audience in improving the production after each performance. They will ask the audiencequestions about the character relationships, structure of the play, and take suggestions forimprovements in specific scenes. The performances, Berry said, should determine "whether the playstands up on its ownâ€”1 think it doesâ€”or whether we were too caught up in the complete story ofthis man. Did the play interest us just because we know all the other little facts?" Back on the stage,Ward concluded, "This is what you've worked for. You've got only four nights, so enjoy it." The lastperformances of "Never a Snug Harbour" are at 7:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow, in Old Main Theatre.Tickets are $4 general, $3 students/seniors. Call 676-3873 for information or reservations. Afrikanmusicians entertain, spread culture in concert By Mark Connolly Members of Ocheami will performtonight in an effort to spread awareness of West Afrikan culture. "Ocheami," in the Ga tribal language,means the linguistic representative who speaks on behalf of the Manche, or Ga chief. Aptly named,Ocheami, a four-member ensemble, will present stories, singing, dancing and traditionalinstrumentation from Ghana and West Afrika at Mama Sunday's tonight. "Afrika" with a "k" is the Afrikan spelling, with a "c" is the colonial spelling, Terry Diffley, who works with the Viking Union Gallery, said.The Seattle-based group began as a collaboration of Afrikan dancers, musicians and singers interested in spreading an awareness of West Afrikan culture. Under the direction of Kofi Anang, a Ghanian andgraduate of the University of Ghana, the group presents cultural entertainment from the Ga, Ewe andAshanti people of Ghana. Ocheami has performed for a wide variety of audiences, including schoolgroups and at the Seattle Art Museum.

Thomas Bauer The news came while the bodies of the 900 dead were being countedin Jonestown, Guyana. A special bulletin was televised. Acting Mayor Diane Fienstein appeared amonga crowd of reporters, microphones and cameras. "Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor HarveyMilk have been shot and killed," she announced. "The Times of Harvey Milk" starts with that footage.Winner of this year's Academy Award for a documentary, the film chronicles the political life of Milk, hisand Moscone's assassination, the trial of fellow politician Dan White and the HAPPENINGSIfcBpiiii^iiHiBiiBl^B llJiiliiiBl^ll^piii^^Bi lllp|i|i|i(l^lg|pl^||i| liilllj|i^lilpi^l|lil^llllll illlli^^WPiiiHH^IilBiBHIHmBBili^BBll San Francisco communities' (both gay and straight) reaction to the assassinations and to the trial. Milk was the first openly-gay elected official in San Francisco. Using film footage from local TV news departments and filmed interviews of Milk's friends and co-workers, director Robert Epsteinand producer Richard Schmiechen have created a film that addresses many topicsâ€” homosexuality,grassroots politics, prejudice, violence and justice. "Times" shows Milk's rise from a camera-storeowner in the Castro Street district of San Francisco to his election to the city's board of supervisors.Milk ran for the position three times between 1973 and 1976and lost all three times. But when theelection procedures were changed so that supervisors were elected by districts and not by the entirecity, Milk won the position on his fourth try. The film quotes a co-worker in the grassroots effort thathelped Milk get elected: "Everything happened in this little, dingy camera store, from saving whales togetting (Milk) elected." The film also shows Milk dealing with issues ranging from cleaning up dogfeces to choosing voting machines. But Milk's biggest fight was against Proposition 6. Sponsored bya California senator, the proposition would have, if passed, required school districts to fire gay teachersor teachers who supported gay rights. The film shows Milk again using grass-roots techniques to defeat the proposition by a 59- to 41-percent vote. "Times" then goes into the events leading up to theassassinations. Shortly after the defeat of Proposition 6, City Supervisor Dan White resigned fromhis position and then requested to be re-appointed. It became apparent that Moscone would not re-appoint him and at 10:45 a.m., Nov. 27, 1978, Dan White went to Moscone's office and shot him threetimes. White then went to Milk's office and shot him five times. The film shows the candlelight vigilheld for the slain statesmen and the trial of Dan White. White was convicted of voluntarymanslaughter, a verdict many considered too lenient, and which resulted in riots at San Francisco'scity hall. White was released January 7, 1984 and received no psychiatric treatment during hissentence. Regardless of personal beliefs towards homosexuality, "The Times of Harvey Milk" is athought-provoking film that deserves every award it receives. " The Times of Harvey Milk " will be shownat 6:30 and 9 p.m. tomorrow in Lecture Hall 4. Western receives a 'treasured sift' By Laura Towey TheSwiss Embassy has given Western a treasured gift. A collection of sketches, essays and photos ofthe life and works of Adolphe Appia, the "Father of Modern Stage Design," is on display until May 24 inthe Old Main Registration Center. Tom Ward, of the theater/ dance department, said Adolphe Appia isas important to stage, design as Shakespeare is to drama. "He was revolutionary," Ward said.. Born in 1862 in Switzerland, Appia was responsible for guiding the visual theater away from realism. His setsare stark and bold and use both light and shadow to generate a powerful emotional response from theaudience. Imposing geometric shapes and soaring, lofty arches and ceilings heighten the audience'sresponses to the performance, intensifying feelings from grief to exuberance. In a statement about thenature of his work, Appia said, "...on stage we no longer wish to see things as we know them to be, butthings as we feel them." Some of Appia's works include the stage design for "The Ring," "Tristan andIsolde," and "Parsifal," operas by German composer Richard Wagner. The 57 panels in the exhibitfeature sketches and photo- , graphs of. the settings designed. by Appia. The original sketches are inSwitzerland. Ward, who was instrumental in obtaining the exhibit as a permanent gift for Western from the Swiss embassy, said the--Swiss Embassy gave twelve complete Adolphe.Appia exhibits to theAmerican Theater Association. During the American College Theatre festival in Oregon, Ward spoke forepresentatives from the Swiss Embassy and expressed Western's interest in housing the exhibit for the Northwest region. The embassy accepted Western's proposal, on the condition Western must shipthe exhibit to From outside the Registration white boards. This is what the like from the inside. othercolleges when requested. "The exhibit has already been to 14 other colleges, from Ashland toBellingham. We now keep it permanently," Ward said. Produced by Pro Helvetia, the Arts Council ofSwitzerland, the exhibit was awarded the Special GRANT BOETTCHER Center, all that can be seen are Adolphe Appia Exhibit looks Prize of Jury at the 1979 Prague Quadrennial for Scenography. In the firstweek of June, the exhibit will be moved to the lobby of the Performing Arts Center Concert Hall, where it will be on display for the week. Afterwards, the exhibit will go into storage.

Valrejean, best known inBellingham for her one-woman play, "The Lavender Troube-dour," has recorded three albums titled Songs for Silent Lovers, New Testament and Cry in's Just A Lie. She, described her music as "a littlerbitfolk, blues, rock and country.-I, have a very short attention span. I can't stand to do one thing too long."Along with Valrejean, "Invitational Concert" will feature the music of six other performers. Valrejeansaid Ginni Clem-mens of Chicago will perform "music uplifting to the human spirit," describing it as "very bluesy."

The saga began in the UniversityPlanning Council after Gov. Booth Gardner handed down his fiscal verdict: cut 5 percent. Faced with such a cut, the council cast its collective eye once again on Fairhaven College â€” "a complete waste ofmoney." The Planning Council approved its "worst-case" contingency plan in the event of a $1.5 million budget cut. The plan includes reduction of five full-time equivalent faculty, elimination of FairhavenCollege and a 5 percent reduction in support funds. The plan then went on to the Faculty Senate. Eventhough the senate approved the "worst-case" contingency plan, points were made in Fairhaven's favor.Cornering Planning Council member Erwin Mayer, Fairhaven professor Rand Jack tried to find out howthe Planning Council arrived at its plan. Jack asked if the council considered other units to cut or reduce.Mayer flatly said, "No." Jack asked if the council had followed the guidelines set forth in the facultyhandbook for evaluating the college quantitatively and qualitatively. Mayer "hemmed and hawed "awhile,not making it clear if the council had. Mayer then briefly ran down the list for the senate. Jack ended bysaying the senate was being asked to decide without knowing how the council arrived at its plan. "We(have to) vote our gut reactions. Do we like Fairhaven or do we not like Fairhaven?" It seems thePlanning Council failed to consider other ways to draw from the pot before "shaving off the buttock." Thecouncil's rationale, which Jack called embarrassing, included that for one reason or another studentsweren't going to Fairhaven, and that Fairhaven's course offerings could be duplicated by Western. Itappears as if Fairhaven College was picked for elimination because it has fewer students, it is the mostconvenient-sized unit that could be cut without being missed and because past reports and othercommittee findings have supported such action. If Western is as truly proud of its liberal arts tradition asit claims, and as everyone thinks, then Fairhaven College should be safe. This type of education isforever, while business and economics is a "fashionable" trend that eventually will attract even fewerstudents than Fairhaven. We hope Western's Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul Ford will have theforesight to recognize this when he evaluates the "worst-case" plan. And so it goes . . . Bad winners,poor losers. The Associated Students elections are over, yet their remnants remain in the form ofcampaign posters. A.winner and loser in the election have seen fit to break campaign rules by leavingtheir posters up and littering campus. George Sidles, who won vice president for internal affairs, still hashis name on the side of the Performing Arts Center. John Warnick, who lost his bid for president, still hasposters around campus, most visibly on the side of Haggard Hall. Get 'em down, guys; it's part of thegame. â€¢ We regret the error. In Tuesday's Front, the editorial board said AS candidate BrettVandenBrink couldn't correctly name the 42nd District legislators. Unfortunately, neither could we, aswe identified Barney Goltz, Dennis Brad-dock and Pete Kremen as senators. In reality, only Goltz is asenatorâ€”the other two are representatives.

He's still somewhere in the room, as far asI can tell, but the problem is the room-is so messy I can't find him. I was almost asleep the nightGeorge disappeared. Just before the sandman waved me past customs inspection at the border todreamland, I heard the sound of something shifting and then a great crash. There was a moment ofsilence; ther. 1 heard a muffled sound that could have been anything from a gasp of surprise to a scream of sheer terror. "George?" I asked, uncertain of what happened. I hastily turned on the light and calledout again, "George?" Still no answer. I searched for quite a while, but when nothing or no one came up, I gave up and went back to bed. After all, I had an 8 a.m. class. Still, I think his parents are going to bemad at me. THE ABOVE is only an exaggeration. Unfortunately, it's an exaggeration not as farremoved from the truth as 1 (and my roommate as well) would like it to be. Yes, I am a very messyperson. Guest commentary IBHHi iB^^^B S^HlMIl i JIIIÂ§I^ IFJII flpi My idea of picking up isremoving my dirty underwear from my roommate's side of the room. My idea of a good cleaning isactually putting the dirty underwear in the clothes hamper. I'm not sure how 1 got to be this way.Maybe it's because my parents were too permissive with me. Maybe it's because my mom didn'tmind"picking up after me. Maybe it's because 1 kept the. door to my room closed. Maybe it's because 1 never really understood the dictum, "A place for everything and everything in its place." Instead, mymotto seems to be "A mess for everything and everything in its mess." I've learned to deal with thenecessity of existing with a mess. When I want to study, 1 move the mess on my desk and chair over to my bed. Even then, 1 usually have barely enough room to put my books on the desk, and maneuvermy chair about without tearing up some important, or semi-important, or even unimportant papers.When 1 want to go to bed, 1 simply move the piles back onto the desk, chair and floor. For wall-to-wallcarpeting, I subscribe to the P-Iand throw it on the floor. Still, I envy those people who have everything nice and neat in their rooms, the people who have clean desks and always-vacuumed rugs, and who are able to sit on their beds anytime they feel like it. I wonder why I'm not like them, and if ever 1 can beone of them. Maybe Western's Counseling Center should offer workshops on how to be neat. They offerworkshops to help deal with such personal shortcomings as procrastination, over-eating and being anerdâ€”why not a workshop to deal with being a slob? Afterall, it's kind of ridiculous when you can'tfind a pair of clean underwear only three days after doing laundry. Not only that, I haven't seen myroommate iately... Questions, life and sharing MY NAME IS Wright. Rob Wright. (James Bond musicplays in the background.) 1 am a senior, am 22, work as a resident aide," woke up at 3 a.m. worryingwhat I was going to write about, and decided to write down everything 1 was thinking. I love life. I don'tclaim to have it figured out, but 1 do not need to understand something to like it. In life's extremes 1 findthat I learn the most about myself and others. Recently, 1 lost a good friend to a drunk driver. 1 learnedI was capable of killing another human being. I learned that complete strangers, after being lashed outat, will show unbelievable compassion to someone who is hurting. And I learned that good friends will do anything within their power to absorb as much of your hurt as they can. It is this human support thatmakes my life tolerable today. I like to ask philosophical questions. Do I have an introvertedpersonality because I like SIIIJI Wright the toilet paper to come from the bottom of the roll instead of the top? If I was moving at twice the speed of light, would I not be invisible to myself because the reflectedlight rays would not be able to catch up with my eyes? Can God create a rock that he can't lift? If theonly thing changed about Jerry Falwell was that he was put into a female's body, would he still makelove to his wife, or would he refrain because he thought of himself as an "immoral homosexual"? RonaldReagan scares me. I can visualize him "pushing the button" when I could never see Carter doing so. Ifyou were president of the United States and knew that the Russians had launched all their nuclearweapons at the United States, would you launch all of ours back? What would you gain by doing so?I guess I see myself as a World Citizen first, and then an American. With the above scene I would notlaunch. It would not save us, and instead of the whole world being destoyed, only half would. I like "StarTrek," "M*A*S*H," Clint Eastwood movies, "Jungle Book," and "Saturday Night Live." Sometimes Iwould not make it through the day without hugs. I am a hug-o-maniac and thank the women and men inmy life for allowing this extravagance. Every person deserves a hug a day, and tomorrow go out and hug two people...just because. It is 3:26 a.m., and I think I'll go to sleep. Rob Wright is a pre-law student, majoring in political science and psychology. ---------- Western Front - 1985 May 17 - Page 11 ---------- *c! FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 11 Dry humor for a sour 'Front' Western Front: Afterreading your May 10 edition of the Front and the coverage devoted to the "Vagina Envy" art exhibit inthe Viking Union, I feel a pressing need to compliment you on your other editions of this paperâ€”anyother edition. Margaret Evans My feeble mind favors decision Western Front: There is a lack of depthin the current show at the V. U. gallery's "Vagina Envy."The show lacks a social dimension that it would have had with the two controversial paintings included. But I am relieved that they weren't includedbecause I'm sure my feeble mind, like the rest of the publics', wouldn't have been able to handle thechallenge. I'm thankful to Mr. Grinstein that he used his superior judgment to protect us and the ignorant masses from the confusion we would have had in forming our own opinions about this difficult art.Donald Crane Automatic doors not easy to open Western Front: Finally! One of the main "peeves"found in the Wilson Library comment book has made the big time. The automatic door situation does,upon first consideration, appear to be pressing. However, with serious scrutiny, it loses much of thisurgency. For instance, there are the east doors in the basement of Haggard Hall. I am not exactly aweak person, but I can barely get those suckers open! When I have an armload of books, it becomesnearly impossible. Probably 70 to 80 percent are very difficult to open. Yes, we do appreciate the factthat we are fortunate enough to be able to open the door without needing the help of the door opener, but in the rush of college, it also becomes important to be expedient and not cause traffic jams whilestruggling to open an automatic door manually. In this era of increasing awareness of the handicappedand their needs, it is a good sign that the non-handicapped are so readily accepting handicappedfacilities and using them (e.g. water fountains, door openers and toilets); it is a sign that enforcedequality may some day become natural and ungrudging co-existence. So, be happy you don't need touse the automatic door openers, but don't try to make the rest of us feel bad about using aconvenience that best serves us all when utilized by everyone, without discrimination. Nancy S.Fosberg Boring state tune makes me puke Western Front: Western already has a reputation as aparty school (and many of us are proud of this), so why not get an appropriate song? Our recent choiceof "Louie, Louie" for school song seemed pretty innocent to me. 1 can't see why people like K. Martinwon't accept a simple election with a - little grace. How can anyone prefer any song to the renowned"Louie, Louie?" Our campus is spending money for childcare (to keep the few affected people happy)and I can accept that for a good cause. But now we adopt a song for everyone (without spending anymoney) and the minority complains about misdirected expenses. Excuse me, but I believe a few folksout there are a bit confused. "Louie, Louie" for state song maybe kind of wild for the old folks, but it sure sounds better than "Washington, My Home." Who wants to sing that boring song anyway? I couldn't do it without laughing or puking somewhere before the end. People keep whining, about controversialissues on campus, and rights or justice, when in fact it's just a lot of noise to try and get some.attention. 1 hope we don't get anymore protestors crying over this one. Western doesn't seem to beoverflowing with school spirit, and it doesn't need to be more conservative in that area. So maybe a radtune like "Louie, Louie" could help a little. I'd prefer to grab a brew and sing "L.L." long before I'd cry and fuss over the sale of a magazine. Mark Strother Day care offers valuable service Western Front: First,the single dads and moms as you may know, do use the day care so that they can go to school with its fluctuating schedule. Secondly, many professors use the day care for their children so they cancontinue to give you the higher education you came here for and still have a family life. When a personhas a child he doesn't want to miss even a minute of the child's growing time, but our fast movingsociety doesn't always make it possible to take a few years off to raise children. The best we can do islet the faculty spend a little timeâ€” their breaks, lunch and their day care work-timesâ€”with theirchildren. And thirdly, there are people like myself who go to school as we can afford it, and who aremarried and pay full tuition for our children to go to your daycare. Why? The staff is continuallyreinforcing self-esteem, endless techniques in decision making, communication skills and aconstantly changing environment of activity with the new academic themes every week! If every childcould have such a beginning, what a world we would live in! Thank you students of the AS board forbeing able to see beyond yourselves. Shila Moa All smokers are not rude slobs Western Front:Recently Philip-Morris put out an ad which appeared in several publications concerning a nationaltrend in which non-smokers were harassing smokers to the point where one smoker was stabbed andanother shot to death on a subway train. At first, I thought this was yet another propoganda piece putout by the tobacco lobby, but after reading Bob Green's column of May 14, I began to wonder. I agreethat smoking on an elevator is inconsiderate and offensive, but Mr. Green's article is so hostile tosmokers that it is itself offensive. I know several smokers, all of whom are very polite and will refrainfrom smoking if asked. They are hardly the "scoundrels" portrayed in the column. If anyone is "insane,"it is the non-smokers who drop to the ground rubbing their eyes and coughing if there is a cigarettewithin 100 feet of them, screaming about their "rights," which seem to include being rude themselves. A little tolerance on both sides is in order, along with a reminder that we are all people, and oneinconsiderate slob in an elevator does not represent the majority of smokers. Jon W.

Hoffman likened the political climate on campuses,which he said for the past 10 years have been "hotbeds of social rest," to that of the late 1950s, and said he expects to see national student organizations formed within a year. Recent divestiture ofuniversity funds in South Africa is an example of the movement's beginnings, he said. In his rebuttal,Rubin attacked Hoffman's tactics as a simple-minded attack on the rich. Blaming the establishment for all injustices has proven itself ineffective, he said, because it brings only cynicism and despair."Democracy demands dissent, it demands subversion to be true to itself," he said. "You need to go outthere and stir things up, because the power structure in this country sits on society like fat on coldchicken soup." With the rise of the baby-boom generation, Rubin said, it would be possible for youthto be successful and idealistic at the same time. Hoffman responded that he would be more sympathetic to Rubin's plan if he was out organizing Yuppies rather than simply " r a t i o n a l i z i n g the self-accumulation of wealth." The debaters then answered questions from the crowd on topics ranging fromcampus activism (Hoffman: "It warms the heart of an old warrior to see what's going on on campuses.");to presidential aspirations (Rubin: "I think with things like a year in jail on my record ; . . I might carrytoo much baggage."); to net worth in dollars of an aging revolutionary (Hoffman: "I'm worth about 18,000 plus, but I have a sick daughter in the hospital."); to Perrier (Hoffman: "It's in his contractâ€”two bottles at each debate."); to personal attacks (Hoffman: "I attack Jerry because he's the only one 1 know whoactually admits to being Yuppie.") The audience in the balmy room seemed pleased with the candor ofthe debate, which is but one of a series on campuses nationwide. At one point during the questionperiod, Hoffman and Rubin became so incensed with an argument over the danger or benefit in aek-owledging "good"aspects of communism that moderator Ken Bahm, a Western speech student, merelystepped back out of the way while the audience cheered on a face-to-face shouting session. The matterwas ended, however, when Hoffman shouted to the crowd, "How many of you admit to being Yuppies?"No one responded. In case of budget cuts: eliminate Fairhaven â€¢ SENATE, from p. 1 tional policy."Shall we support Fairhaven at all costs with the expense to other unitsâ€”or should we eliminatesome units? We're going to have to come up with something somewhere," he said. The "worst-casescenario" established by the "Planning Council as a $ 1.5-miIlion budget cut, would eliminate five full-time faculty, eliminate Fairhaven College, all summer-session funding and $300,000 in instructionalequipment.

HollySt. 734-5555 Jack said it was dangerous for the Faculty Senate to consider a plan that would eliminatetenured faculty. "When we reach a magnitude of eliminating full-time faculty that's a reason for us to give pause," he said. "1 don't see how we can make a judgement unless we understand how they cameabout this decision. It seems they're asking us to vote on a gut feelingâ€”whether we like or dislikeFairhaven. That's not a basis for firing full-time faculty," Jack said. "The Planning Council saw fit to givea rationale (for its actions). It was embarassing to read...l wonder if it was emba-rar. sing for them towrite," he said. Senator Richard Thompson of the psychology department, who also is a member of the Planning Council^ said the council made an across-the-board cut which was to affect newer members of the faculty, not older members. "When we looked at across-the- board we did not take the easiestcuts. We looked at all of the units on campus and asked which one can the rest of the campusduplicate? Of all the units on campus , Fairhaven is being done by the rest of campus," he said.Senator Phillip Montague of the philosophy department said, "We have to abandon the idea of picking off the easiest part of the institution or the unit of convenient size," said. "The colleges are autonomous;there surely must be a way. First it's Fairhaven, then Huxleyâ€”it's not clear from there." Jack askedthe members of the Planning Council that were present if they discussed the guidelines set down inthe Faculty Handbook on reduction-in-force procedures. The Planning Council must discuss qualitativeand quantitative factors before eliminating any program. Mayer then went through the list, quicklypointing out what they had discussed. Jack asked Mayer if they discussed those factors activelyregarding the College of Arts and Sciences. Mayer said, "No." Fairhaven College Dean Dan Larnersaidhe didn't think much of the Faculty Senate's action on the contingency plan. "It's scarcely any betterthan the Planning Council's investigation of the factors involved," he said. "They did not do theirhomework. It's not a respectable report. It's wholly inadequate in the making of a decision of thatmagnitude," he said. "There is a very serious question of quality here. Fairhaven has a very,distinguished list of graduates. If the rest of the university can do that, I wish they'd lay it on the table. Larner said he is very concerned about the kind of attitude the decision by the senate indicates.

Western First College of Education to Attempt StudySOME OF LIFE'S MOST PUZZLING QUESTIONS are going to be put to students at Western Washington College shortly, the Collegian learned this week. An extensive survey of student attitudes toward basicreligious questions is just getting under way. Sponsored by a Danforth Foundation grant to the College,the survey is being directed by Rev. Alfred Dale of the United Student Christian Foundation. Dr. WilliamBudd of the College's Bureau of Research helped in work ing up a questionnaire, and serves asconsultant. SAMPLE QUESTION: "Do you feel there is a basic conflict between some of the thingstaught in (science) courses . . . and some of the things taught in religion? In what way?" The studywill also inquire of student attitudes toward the USCF, an interdenominational organization designed to help meet religious needs of WWCE students. Although studies of this type have been made atHarvard, Radcliff and other colleges and universities, this is believed to be the first at a college of educa-tion, according to Dr. Budd. Conducting the survey are six student interviewers: Barbara Eth-erton, John Lipe, Kenneth Merager, Harley Stafford, Ethel Van Zanten, and Ronald Weeks. Each receives aDanforth Fellowship award of $50 a quarter. So far in the pioneering stage, the study expects to "get offthe ground" starting next week. About a dozen students have been interviewed so far. Dr. Buddexpects'the survey to reach a peak of 30 to 40 interviews a week. "DON'T BE IMPATDENT if you aren'tinterviewed during the first few weeks," Mr. Dale suggested. "This is a three-year project, and we willattempt to reach only a representative sample of the student body." "Students especially interestedmay volunteer to be interviewed," he added. According to Mf\^pjrte, "there are no 'right' answers. Allwe're trying to discover is the personal feelings of the students toward basic religious questions." Heemphasized that all answers would be kept anonymous and confidential. OTHER PORTIONS OF THE $9,700 Danforth Foundation grant will be used to sponsor student attendance at religiousconferences, student gatherings in faculty homes, and other, projects. Record Survey Next weekWestern students will be asked to make suggestions for new records for the Saturday night RecordDances. The Record Dance Committee, with chairmen Billie Bresnahan and Elsie Jacobsen, isbeginning procedure to purchase new records with the $60 allocated by the Board of Control.

Dr. Don C. Walter, College Band Director, wasnarrator and discussed traditions and development of the jazz idiom. The first feature on the programwas a small group who gave the audience an idea of the folk music upon which jazz is based. Following this, the dance band demonstrated " D i x i e l a n d " style where only a few strict rules are observed.tHalf-tone jazz, w h i c h was significant in the 1920's, was illustrated with the syncopated effect of that day. Also jazz as it was experienced under such men as Paul Whiteman and Vincent Lopez wasplayed. Here the idea of sweet jazz was contrasted with that of hot jazz. Since the organization of thefirst Paul Whiteman orchestra, there has been little change in the instrumentation of the dance band.However experimentation has been done in the use of ensemble tone. This idea was demonstrated bytwo members of the dance band and Carol Cone and Kathie Person playing clarinets. THE 1956VERSION OF JAZZ, "Rock and Roll," which is characterized by the heavy one beat of the measureand the moving pattern in the bass, was featured. Also, Mar-lene Machleid sang "Cry Me a River" and"Moon Glow," both of which characterize the modern jazz of today.

Mainbusiness on the agenda of the BOC this week was the Election Committee's report. CO-CHAIRMAN ALJUNG submitted a list of those candidates who were eligible to run for ASB positions this quarter. Heannounced that a meeting concerning campaign procedures will be held with the candidates Feb.12. The scheduled primary election, he reported, had been cancelled. Jung also initiated discussion ofincluding the ASB and AWS on the same ballot. Several Board members objected to thecommittee's policy of placing the voting machines on the main landing because they felt it would causeundue congestion in the halls. Dr^Mur-ray suggested that the Board accept the report and leave thedetails of the elections to the committee. This suggestion was carried out and Jung was instructed to r e p o r t proposed changes to the BOC next week.

That's the way Elvis Presleyautographed his picture to 23 Western girls last week. And how does Elvis know about Western andSenior Hall? It's like this: Elvis' press agent is the brother of the uncle of one of the girls at Senior Hall(Esther Kerr), who thought it might be nice to have something unusual (no pun intended) on their mantel. Now there's not exactly a passionate Elvis fan club at Senior Hall. It's just that not every house onCampus can boast 23 girls and Elvis, too.

The Viks host the Whitworth Pirates tonight and Eastern Washington tomorrow.Coach Hubbard commented on the Vikings chances: "I don't make predictions, but since we are athome we'll probably use our zone defense to offset our height disadvantage and I hope it continues towork for us." Whitworth lost Phil Jordan, their big 6'11" center, to the pros but they are currently holdingdown second place. The Pirates dropped Western 86-72 in an early season contest but the Viks gavethem trouble all the way and have improved considerably since then. WWCE FRONTCOURTMENmust stop both Marv Adams and Dave Martin if they plan to beat Whitworth. Adams and Martin aretwo of the top college basketball players in the state. Eastern smashed Western in their first meeting73-53, for one of their two conference wins this year. EMPLOYING AN EFFECTIVE zone defense,Western's Vikings pulled out an easy 72-45 victory over CPS last Friday at the Sehome gym. Hubbard gave his opinion of the big edge in the CPS contest, "defensively we did a good job with our zone. Rod(Schott) did-an outstanding job of getting good floor position and keeping the big men from clogging upthe key." LOGGER SHOOTING WAS NOT UP to par and Western was not one to let such anopportunity passâ€” they shot the eye out of the basket. Meanwhile the "boards" were cleared by theh u s t l i n g Westerners. Schott and Bruce Randall were especially impressive as they gave a goodaccount of themselves on every loose ball. Dick Schwartz and LeRoy Nelson led the Viking offense with16 and 22 points respectively. Int I St â€¢ StarRexall Drug Co.

The results of the last two weekends against PLC, CWCE, and CPS have set tonight and tomorrow night up as the top weekend bill of theseason. Two top opponents, Whitworth and Eastern, will be out to stop the "spoiler" Vik squad.Whitworth well remembers the 71-69 upset here last winter and Eastern is still smarting from the 78-62drubbing they took here last year. THE VIKINGS WELL-KNOW that these two are the real big ones: Two victories could push them up to a possible third place finish, about three notches higher than the"experts" placed them. Two losses would carry out the preseason pick. Betrozoff THE SQUADRESPONDED to the fine support of the student body in the previous two weeks, and as we always say,let's keep up that support for these final two home games. Let's pack that gym even tighter tonight andtomorrow night. SINCE BASKETBALL IS OUR ONLY TOPIC this week, I think a little praise should goout to some individuals who really cams through these last few weeks. Of course, LeRoy Nelson hascontributed plenty with terrific offensive play, but particularly the play of Bruce Randall, Rod Schott, and Dick Schwartz needs mentioning. Randall always has been a great competitor and certainly showedAt through his rebounding and timely baskets lately. Schwartz is a hustler on defense, plays a goodsteady floor game, and played the troubleshooter role to the hilt these past weeks. Big lumbering Schotthas dazzled, and certainly amused, spectators with his stalwart backboard work and tip-ins. I think Rodhas even surprised himself with his latest work. ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD have lookedgood for that matter and deserve a pat on the back. Support 'em this weekend.

No attack on theBoard of Control. No urgent pleas. No discussion of education policies or Presley predicaments. Just afew questions, an answer or two, and an explanation. We've been thinking that maybe some peoplehaven't understood what we're trying to do and why we're trying to do it. Did you know that this is thefastest growing college in the state? Did you know that there may be 4,000 students at Western in three years? Did you know that those 4,000 students will probably be turning more than a hundred thousanddollars over to 15 people to spend for them? Did you know that those 15 people are presently chosen byless than one-third of the present 2,000 students? Yet these 15 people who are chosen by 700 studentsare spending the money of 2,000 students. And at least 1,000 students on this campus right now do not know or do not care how, .and by whom, $80,000 of their money is being spent. It is any wonder thenthat this paper seems so concerned with some members of the BOC (15 people) who say nothing, withmeetings that spend an hour haggling over a parliamentary point, with elections that sometimes turn intobeauty contests, and with people who think that the Collegian is showing too much freedom of press inpointing out these things? But we promised not to get disturbed and we won't; we'll leave that to you. Wejust want to point out that we devote one whole page to student opinion and independent criticism,because we think the opinions and criticisms of 2,000 people are important. We think the role of thestudent press in our school is changing; it can no longer print just the facts. The opinions areimportant, too. That is why this whole page is open to you, to anyone who wishes to express his opinionor his criticism. That is why this paper will continue to criticize and to stand for better representation andpeople who will speak up for 2,000 other people. We promised no attack, only an explanation. So again,sit back and relax. If you can. â€”The Editor. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Playboy Banned, Why Not High? Thecitizens of Bellingham must be concerned; at least their censorship board is.

Students Give Opinions: Time Is Running Out on SUB Benefit By DAVE AMOS One of the biggest arguments to arise on the Westerncampus this year is whether the Board of Control should back and financially support a proposed student musical which would be shown to the students at Western for a price not yet determined. "WHYSHOULD STUDENTS do this sort of thing on their own?" Jim Kelly, junior and recent transfer, asked. "Isthere another motive behind this venture? I do not believe that the BOC should use student funds for thistype of risk investment without the student body's ok." Fred Boede, sophomore, disagreed. "If it'sJvandled right, I think it will be a financial success," he said. "Secondly, I'd buy a ticket for theproposed price of 75 centsâ€”if I go to see it or not. However," he added, "/ do feel that the speech andmusic departments should be behind it 100%." "I FEEL THAT THIS VENTURE WOULD BE TOOLARGE a gamble for the BOC and the students of Western," Dean Dingerson, senior, stated. "Theoriginators of this program have requested $450 for the production of the musical. I feel that to put off amusical it would take at least $150 more than they are requesting." Phyllis Hirni thought the show was agood idea and that the Board should back it. "Where else are they going to get the money?" she asked."I THINK IT CAN RAISE THE PRESTIGE of the school in the eyes of the townspeople," LarryO'Donnell, sophomore, said. "I believe it wduld be a successful money-making project for the studentunion building, and would be valuable and worthwhile practical experience' for the students concernedwith the musical." These seem to cover the main arguments for and against, and the BOC seems tohave taken most of them into consideration. But for those who back the production, time is running out.The Board meets only once a week, and the^ proposed date for the showing of the musical is the firstweek of spring quarter. Before that time the Board has stated that the cost of the show, the source ofmoney for it, the names of people who will sell tickets for it, an estimate of attendance, and a script withthe written approval of Dr. Walter, Dr. Brewster, and Mark Flanders, must be submitted to the BOC,before it will give its approval. IF THERE IS ANY HOPE FOR THE PROJECT at all, it appears that theBoard is going to have to act within the next week. If the students of Western want to express theirviews on the matter, the only way possible is to contact BOC members and tell them what they wouldlike to see happen. Most of the Board members are in favor of the principle of having students do this sort of thing on their own initiative, but they don't necessarily want to fork out the money needed to back this sort of venture. Vice-Presidency at Western Not Jnst an Honorary Position UNLIKE MANYORGANIZATIONS, the office of ASB ViceTPresident at Western is more than a mere; figure-head post.His duties are numerous and often times of paramount importance. In addition to the constitutionaldemands of of the office, the Vice-President is expected to obtain an intimate knowledge of parliamentary procedure. In this way he will be capable of advising the President on matters of parliamentary lawwithout having to refer to outside sources. Committee service is another desired qualification. The Vice-President is the coordinator of social affairs for the Board of Control and, therefore, should have "field"experience in this department. Also, the Veep should be a better than average speaker to enablehim to preside over assemblies and introduce speakers in the Artist and Lecture series. This office-holder will also be expected to accompany the President to numerous conferences and should be ableto adequately represent the college. ' The constitution provides that the Vice President be responsiblefor discharging the duties of the President in case of the latter's absence, resignation or forfeiture ofoffice. His duties include attending BOC meetings as a voting member, representing the Board onthe Interclub Council, and, should the President bÂ£ absent from Summer Quarter, to assume that office-if he is in attendance. During his regular tenure of office the Vice President is paid $85 per quarter, or$225 a year. However, this office is not a salary-drawing one during the Summer. Scribbling Siren SingsLullaby to Unsnng Heroes BY DAVE VAN BBONKHORST Betimes there seems to be- a tendency forpeople to equate the Student Body Government to the Board of Control; to say that the Board IS the ASB Government, or that the student government is the Board of Control. f HIS IS NOT TRUE. The Board isdefinitely the keystone of the ASB, but it is solidly held \n place by the rest of the governmentalstructure, much of which is unperceived by the usual observer. Being in the central -position, the "front office," so to speak, the BOC receives the publicity and the recognition. But a great percentage, if not a majority, of the real spadework of the ASB is done by the members of the ASB committees, withoutreward or recognition.
