TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1981 Youknow Halloween is near when the Front editorial staff gets together for Its annual photograph. See Friday'sFront for a special Halloween section Mike Stoddard Senate RIF plan gets nod By ABBY HAIGHT Afterthree hours of tepid debate yesterday, the Faculty Senate passed virtually intact a Reduction in Force(RIF) proposal forwarded by its executive committee. The senate approved the motion by a margin of 19-7 only after several amendments were shot down. The only change in the plan was the substitution ofthe word "reduction" for "closure" regarding cuts in Human Services and the Center for Urban Studiesin Seattle. According to the proposal, 90 faculty and staff positions will be eliminated whileapproximately \\0 will be reduced. vv ,,.,.,; "'"'" "This is not a tiny impact oh the community," SenatePresident Albert Froderberg said. The proposal calls for reduction in the two Seattle programs at asavings of $209,000; the transfer of 40 faculty to summer session for one academic quarter; thereduction of 14 full-time faculty through resignations or terminations; and reducing summer session by 25 percent. A total of $2.5 million would be returned through cuts in the operating budget and $1.5million through the return of capital funds. The return of $1.4 million of loan funds, excess budget itemsand the summer session carry forward budget will total the $7 million Western has been ordered byGov. John Spellman to return to state coffers. The senate's proposal, originally due last week, will beconsidered by University President Paul Ols-camp before he makes his-recommendations to theBoard of Trustees public later this week. The trustees will make the final decision Nov. 5. Thesenate least favored the transfer of faculty to summer session. Under this measure, faculty wouldteach two academic quarters, part of the third, then fulltime summer. Several faculty membersquestioned whether the transfer would be voluntary or mandatory. If voluntary, the trustees would not have to order the departments to make the change, Executive Vice President James Talbot said."The intent (of the section) is that internal discretion will be allowed," Froderberg said. Larry Jacobs,acting director for the Center for Urban Studies, said his program offered too many scholasticopportunities to those who might not get an education to be eliminated. Most of the students at thecenter work during the day and can only take classes at night, he added. "For many people it's a one-shot chance at education." he said, adding "We would, of course, like very much to continue this forthe community." Arnold Gallegos, dean of the school of education, said the Seattle branch of humanservices already has been mostly fazed out. The education department is absorbing much of the on-campus human services, he added. Eugene Ho.gan, president of the local American Federation ofTeachers (AFT) said after the meeting the AFT had done "the best we could" to formally fight anyinstuc-tor reductions. He said the senate meeting reminded him of a recent motion picture on the sinking of the Titanic, where the ship's orchestra played on the deck while water washed over passengers.Inside: Bus tokens run short page 3 Prof prints 'potboiler' page 9 Viks slip again, 21-6 page 10 Gradechange nixed The new plus^ minus-system "6fi5 grading will not be used this school year.

Layoff delays cause staff anxiety By DEBBIE L.ROMANO Unnecessary delay in notifying staff members of impending layoffs is causing "mentalanguish" among Western employees, a top official of Western's staff union said last week. Theprocedure for notifying staff members of their options, based on seniority, is causing anguish for thosestaff who do npt know what their options are, Aiv-ers Silins, vice president of Local 1381 of theWashington Federation of State Employees, said. Silins said the notification procedure should nottake more than three weeks, but that only about 20 to 25 staff members have received layoff notices sofar. All employees affected were aware of the impending layoff, but people with the most seniority arebeing notified of their options first, Silins said. Employees with less seniority probably will not receivetheir notices until much later, he added. Options include accepting a comparable position in a class inwhich the person has had permanent status before; accepting a com- . parable position in a lowerclassification but in the same class series;' accepting a position held by probationary, temporary orprovisional employees; or accepting layoff status. Western has been making mistakes with somepeople's options, Silins said. "They've been trying to play mind reader," he said. "They haven't beengiving people all their options; they've been giving them their probable, not possible options." Employees with no options probably will be eligible for unemployment compensation. Unemployment eligibilitycould be questioned if a person has options, however, and decides to accept layoff status instead,Silins said. A productivity drop likely will result from large-scale layoffs, Silins said. It is not evident yet "because there is a campus-wide pride in work. But everyone is aware of a mental let-down," he said.Silins charged that the entire action of layoff is premature. Staff , members are bearing the brunt of thecuts, and being treated like ' second- and third-class citizens, hei said. "The fat was already trimmed inthe five percent cut of May, 1980. Now they're cutting into bodies." In a message directed to staff,printed in the Oct. 22 faculty/staff newsletter, University President Paul Olscamp said an executive order calling for a 10.1 percent cut still is in effect,,and cannot be rescinded until at least the end of thelegislative special session, which begins Nov. 9. If special funds are available, or , the funding slashbecomes less than 10.1 percent, terminated persons will be rehired, Olscamp's message stated. Butpersons employed in ; instruction and activities directly related to instructional suppor. will be rehiredfirst, the messagt; stated. Layoff methods outlined Many Western staff members have begun receivingan unwanted but intensive education in the university's "bumping policy" during the past few days. Thefirst written notification of staff layoff action ,came from Western's personnel officer, JeanTim-mins, Thenotices informed each person of the effective layoff date, and listed the options available. Optionsinclude "bumping" a less senior member from another department and taking over their job. Often theseother jobs are at a lower salary and involve retraining to Jit the requisites. The employees have three days to appeal in writing to the personnel department. A second notice will be sent confirming the finaldecision and the effective date of action, whether it is termination or "bumping." Employees with the least seniority will be the first affected. If that person is the least senior in classification, that employee willbe offered four options: â€” A comparable position in a class in which the person has had permanentstatus before, with the same or lower salary. â€” Comparable positions in a lower classification but in the same 'class series.' For example, Office Assistant IV is qualified for Office Assistant II, II and I. â€”Positions held by probationary (worked less than six months), temporary or provisional employees,providing the employee can meet the min-limum qualifications of that class. â€” Accept layoff status.Veterans with active military service can be considered for up to five years' extra credit when seniority is determined. This does not include any veteran retired 'with 20 or more years' active military service. Anemployee with less seniority but in a higher classification cannot "bump" someone with more seniority ina lower class. Each employee receiving a layoff notice has the right to appeal the layoff to the HigherEducation Personnel Board (HEPB), in accordance with HEPB rules. ---------- Western Front - 1981 October 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WE$*ERM;:FRON*T; 1UiJtE$OAV^Â©GfOSER^,1:981 Casey Madison Aside from placating animals,music also can lull you to sleep while studying for a mid-term exam, as this student in the music listening room testifiers,. gt;:;.vy; Callers split on tax hike By JACKLEEN ASMUSSEN House Speaker WilliamPolk's legislative hotline has tallied its results which show an even split in opinion for increased taxesand decreased spending in government. Patsy Williams, Polk's administrative aide, said that 6,000calls were recorded during the weeks of Sept. 28 to Oct. 16 and many calls were from Western. "Mostof the (Western) calls began at the end of the second week and; for five days, comprised approximatelyone-sixth of the calls received," Williams said. Most of the calls from Western advocated no highereducation cuts and raising revenue instead, she said. "Generally, people did not want to see cuts ineducation," Williams said. A variety of proposals to decrease spending in higher education weremade, Williams said, including cutting out unnecessary Token supply tight fare hike blamed ByJACKLEEN ASMUSSEN Since BellinghamjCity.CounciPs. decision earlier this month to hike bus fares, supplies of bus tokens are dwindling, a transit official said. "We don't have a very large stock oftokens," Richard Walsh, transit dispatcher, said earlier this week. "People are probably just hoardingthem," he added. Many more tokens are out of circulation than are coming back in, Walsh said.Reacting to the shortage, area merchants, as well as city transit, have slapped limits on the number oftokens an individual may purchase. City Council voted Oct. 5 to raise the bus fare to 25 cents from 20cents, effective Jan. 1. When the new fare is in effect, a packet of 25 tokens will cost $5-a savings of 20percent in bulk buying. At current prices, a packet of. 20 tokens costs $3--a savings of 25 percent.Buying tokens at the 1981 price and using them in 1982 would total a savings of 67 percent. Walsh said, transit authorities have asked bus token outlets to limit sales to individual buyers. Outlets selling thepackets include City Hall, the Viking Union information desk, Bellingham Transit and banks. SallyGregory, of Bellingham National Bank (BNB), said bus token sales have increased and BNB is sellingonly one packet per customer. But a spokesman for Seattle-First National Bank said that the bank hashad no token shortages. VU information desk cashier Stacy Nagaoka said token sales have been briskbut, because the information desk is alloted only a certain number of tokens, each customer is limited to one packet. courses like "calligraphy or basket weaving," closing certain state colleges and raisingtuition. Other suggestions included requiring faculty to teach a certain number of hours per week,consolidating community college administrations and switching to a semester system. "This hasproven to save money," Williams said, but acknowledged more funds would be needed to restructure the present system. "Most comments were very practical," Williams said. Issues discussed were gt;general government, human services, public education and higher education. Suggested revenuealternatives were an increased sales tax, increased business and occupation tax, closing tax loopholes,legalization of gambling and a state lottery. BMnk cuts hourf, raises check fee By BEN VERKERKWestern students now have less time to withdraw money for big weekend dates from the campus branch of Bellingham National Bank (BNB). The campus BNB shortened its service hours to 9:30 a.m. to 3:30p.m., from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the beginning of fall quarter to cut its operating expenses, said Bud Swarens, senior vice president in charge of branch administration. Other changes the bank made thisquarter were adding a teller to improve service during busy hours and increasing the charge to students without a BNB account who wish to cash checks drawn from another bank. The charge was raised to$3.50 from $2.50 per check, he said. Swarens said it costs the bank more to service student accountsthan regular accounts because students' balances "disappear" as the .school year progresses. ' . ;-"We operate at a profit during October, November and December but lose money in the winter and spring (quarters)," he said. first and last hour from its operating time because an account of transactionsshowed those hours were "not busy," he said. But Swarens added that the bank's hours could beextended if the shortened service greatly inconveniences students. The bank's service most likely willbe supplemented with a 24- hour cash machine in about two years, he continued, adding that BNB'scomputer now does not have sufficient on-line capacity for one. To improve service meanwhile, thecampus branch increased its teller staff to five for the peak business hours at midday, he said.Swarens said BNB raised its service charge to students cashing other bank's checks because of theincreasing cost of processing the . checks. Western's controller, Don Stur-gill, said the university's bank servicing committee reviewed the changes, adding the committee negotiated an increase to $884from $804 per month of the campus branch's rent payments for its loca- The campus bank dropped thetion at the Viking Union. â€”Quicklyâ€” 'Media watchdog' talks on KGB Reed Irvine, founder and chairman of the board of Accuracy in Media (AIM), will speak on "KGB Disinformation Activities in the AmericanMedia" at 3 p.m. Monday in Bond Hall 109.

Correction A story in theOct. 23 issue of the Front incorrectly identified the Washington Federation of State Employees as theWashington Educational Employees Union. The Front regrets the error. . Admission rules may tighten Student enrollment has decreased by 325 this year and may decline further if new, tougher admissionstandards are instituted. "We're going to have to be tighter," said Richard Riehl, director of admissions."We'll have to select those students who are most likely to succeed here." Responding to possiblebudget cuts, a committee has been started to determine next fall's admission standards. The committee, headed by Riehl, will determine the higher standards from entrance test scores, subject patterns andnumber and type of courses taken. "We can't do it just on grade-point-averages," Riehl said. "Peoplewould take only easy courses." The high fee increases by the Legislature and higher admissionstandards may have been a significant factor in reduced enrollment. The impact of 394 fewer newstudents and 256 fewer nonresidents has been offset by a higher retention rate among students alreadyenrolled, according to a Public Information Office press release. Fall enrollment at Western this yeartotals 10,291, compared to last fall's record enrollment of 10,616, according to the release. Thecommittee will have to make some quick decisions because applications for 1982 will be processed by .Dec. 1. "We may have to suspend offers of admission," Riehl said. "We may have to put some peoplein a waiting bin, saying we will not know until February or so if we can offer admission." Coupled withprobable budget cuts, plans are underway to reduce enrollment by an additional 500 to 1,400 students by the end of the next academic year. ---------- Western Front - 1981 October 27 - Page 3 ---------- mf lt;SD^Yv*0GTOBER^ *381 WESTERNifRONT 3 Courity cand idales seek efficieney By DALEFOLKERTS Candidates seeking to oust current county commissioners said increases in governmentresponsiveness to citizens' desires and more efficient management are major issues in theircampaigns. _ Ajforum for the seven Whatcom . County Council candidates in the Nov. 3 general election is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Leopold Hotel. During phone interviews Sunday, BillConverse charged incumbent Shirley Van Zanten with disregarding citizens' opinions in decisionsmade as the council's at-large representative. Converse, 46, a six-year Seattle policeman-turned-carsalesman, said he sees land-use planning and budget allocations as weak points in current countypolicy. Converse said excess bureaucracy should be eliminated by transferring money from"bureaucratic departments" back to county services. He cited a $200,000 transfer from road main-tence to the general fund as an example of cutting services to finance bureaucracy. The formerBellingham school board member said his first cutback would send the county's personneldepartment to the unemployment lines. He said hiring should be done in individual departments andthe county is wasting money on a personnel department at a time when the county is laying off itsemployees. Van Zanten, council chairperson and a member of the finance committee, said a maingoal is to continue to receive the most services possible with the' county's limited income. She saidConverse's allegations showed a lack of understanding of running big business. The county's predictedbudget next year is $41 million. The two personnel department employees are necessary to fillvacancies in the 500 person workforce while complying with all federal guidelines and uniform hiringpractices, she said. More employee cuts are foreseeable, but she said she hopes most can be carried out through attrition. Craig Cole is running unopposed in the county's first district. A 1977 Westerngraduate, Cole, 31, defines himself as "physically conservative and socially progressive." He said he is very involved with social and human rights issues, that he would tighten the county's already tightbudget before taking more money from local pocketbooks. He said he would continue to show hissupport for higher education to the Legislature. In the second district race, Harry Skinner is trying tooust incumbent Corky Johnson. "I want to make democracy really work," Skinner said. He proposessimplifying and explaining government policies to the citizens, especially information about how thebudget dollar is divided. He said he wanted citizens to decide spending priorities. Skinner also knockedhis opponent's attendence at council meetings during the first 24 months of Johnson's term. He said Johnson's jail commission involvement contributed to the 30 percent absenteeism. "I think he choseto become involved in the jail commission instead of the council," the 45- year-old architect said.Johnson, unavailable for comment Sunday, said in a recent Bellingham Herald report his mainpriorities are law and order and the safety and welfare of citizens. He said he hopes Reagan's economicprograms will stimulate the economy and return more money to county coffers. Johnson had votedagainst employee layoffs, saying cutbacks should be made through attrition. Johnson cited his jailcommis- ;sion post in helping Whatcom. County receive funds for a new jail. In the third district race,Elizabeth Bailey battles incumbent Will Roehl. Bailey, 63, said that as a 60-year county resident, she feels she knows the people of the county. While saying that Roehl conducts too many studies, shesaid the current council does not give enough attention to citizen opinion, especially when decidingthe county's comprehensive land-use plan. The Ferndale farmer has served on citizen advisory groups for 25 years, and was a Ferndale school board member for eight years. Bailey said she wished toencourage new industry to enter the [county. She cited jobs Intalco Aluminum Corp. provides whileâ€¢ meeting county environmental standards. Social services for those who cannot help themselveswould come before money is spent on parks and recreation, Bailey said. The county's responsibility forsocial programs is increasing as state budgets are whittled down. Roehl, also unavailable Sunday,stated in the Herald recently the state should not increase local responsibility for social programsunless they include some money in the package. Roehl said he is not enthused with any tax increases,and the user-fee system may expand to provide additional revenue. Roehl supported a countyemployee layoff, saying the county has needed to make some drastic cuts to maintain a balancedbudget.

That person is Beletzhimself. Elsewhere, his appointment has been greeted 'with outright incredulity, along with the ferventhope that the self-styled student activist has gained at least some sense of responsibility since the lasttime he held an AS position. Many of us will long remember the chaos Beletz created last spring whenhe capriciously abandoned his post as AS election chairman to stage an unsuccessful run for theexternal affairs post. Then, with his irresponsible action only hours behind him, Beletz went on to exhibitan almost embarrassing misunderstanding of the issues he would face if elected as Western'sdesignated "student lobbyist." For instance, in a press conference after his defection from theelection committee, Beletz' questioners had to explain to him which higher education bills were beforethe Legislature before he could answer questions about them. Student voters responded by handing hima resounding defeat at the polls. But the unsinkable- Beletz has returned, after the vice president-elect,R. Lindsey Engberg, failed to register for classes this fall, thereby leaving the post open for appointment. It appears Beletz' primary qualification for the external affairs post is the fact that he wants it. Of a totalstudent population of 10,000, only he and one other candidate came forward to apply for the seat. Let ushope he has gained some shred of appreciation for the commitment which comes with an AS postsince the last time he held one. Oil tankers: an un-'Sound' risk The Coast Guard announced it mayrecommend that supertankers be allowed on Puget Sound. Because supertankers usually are full of oil,this is a poorly conceived recommendation. Supertankers may be able to navigate our waters safelyunder test conditions, but that is no guarantee they always will. And the peculiarities of Puget Soundmake it particularly susceptible to environmental damage from an oil spill. In 1978 an experiencedcaptain in a ship in working order hit the West Seattle Bridge, which should not happen. The bridgespan clearly was large enough to let the ship through easily. But it happened, just as a similar accidentcould happen to a supertanker. Because of Puget Sound's qualities, such an accident could wreck thelocal environment for decades. Puget Sound is a virtual cesspool. It takes more than' 1U years lor waterin it to move back out to sea again. Any oil spilled here will end up on the beaches before it has a chance to wash out to sea. The Coast Guard also overlooked the way foreign substances like to hang around.In 1974 a mere 260 gallons of PCBs were dumped accidentally into the Duwamish River near its entryinto Elliot Bay. Today abnormally high concentrations of PCBs still are found in marine life in the area,despite the dredging of 13,000 cubic yards of material out of the Duwamish. Plainly the risk of accidentand long-term damage is too great to allow supertankers on the Sound. We urge the Coast Guard totake another look.

It is time for Westernstudents to emerge from their embryonic existence and learn the truth about budget cuts. All you havedone lately is cry and sulk about everything that is going to be taken away from you when the newbudget is implemented. You have been selfish and ignorant. You have rushed to call your legislatorsto demand higher education be exempt from the budget slashing. You announce, to whoever is inearshot, a nightmarish world will exist because of these terrible things that are happening to highereducation. Well kiddies, it is time to wise up and start looking at the whole picture! Then, if you stillhave the gall to call your legislators and demand that higher education be spared, it may be time for youto take a good look at yourself because you will not like what you see. Most, if not all, of the sheltersfor battered women in Washington will close for lack of funding. The woman whose husband beats herevery night and threatens her the next morning has nowhere to go. She has to stay at home and takethe daily abuse. You tell her how terrible it is that your history class might have 20 extra persons nextyear. The elderly have a program that provides them, at low cost, one hot meal a day. For many of them, on fixed budgets, it is their only meal. This program is also to be cut. Talk to some of them about theabuse you will suffer by being forced to wait an extra half-hour at your free student health service nextquarter. The Children's Protective Service also will suffer from budget deficiencies. It probably will have to reduce its staff. This will lengthen its response time to visit the homes of battered children. To achild who is beaten and abused, this delay could mean death. Be sure to let that beaten child know justhow awful life will be for you if Western closes a few "weeks early in the spring. While you ase at it, donot forget about the handicapped and foreign-speaking K-12 students. Although they probably will nothave any special education programs so they can go to school next year, I am certain they will pity youwhen you tell them you may have to pay a temporary surcharge of $50 at Western. Higher education isnot a life or death issue but many of the other proposed cutbacks are. If you still believe higher education is some great deity that cannot be altered in any way, it is time for you to take a closer look. You havebeen told recently to do something about these devastating budget slashers. Doing so may give youbetter perspective. You may see that cuts in higher education are not as horrible as you thought. As acollege student, you probably will survive these evil cutbacks. It is too bad the same cannot be saidabout the battered child. Perhaps he should be the one wearing a black armband. â€”Carolyn Casey ---------- Western Front - 1981 October 27 - Page 5 ---------- Letters rgsuEStoswoe^dBfeft^^i TWÂ£8f Â£ # $ FRONT ' 5 Reader defends World Bank Western Front:Last Tuesday's editorial in the Front Line supporting President Reagan's position on.internationaldevelopment aid demonstrated very little understanding of a serious problem. In the first place, theUnited States is certainly not "pouring money" into less-developed countries. In fact, we contributeless to development aid relative to Gross National product (GNP) than every other western industrializednation except Italy. Secondly, to suggest that World Bank loans have had "little discernible result" isblatantly false. According to a Treasury Department review, the average World Bank loan produces aneconomic return of 15 to 20 percent. I wouldn't call that "pouring dollars down the drain." Finally, Icannot comprehend the crude comparison between development aid and socialism. The sameTreasury Department review concluded that World Bank loans tend to be divided between public andprivate sectors approximately as loans are divided in the United States. Furthermore, the World Banktypically requires a country to institute capitalistic austerity measures before granting it any loans. Thesimple fact is that Third World nations must have credit to develop. Even the "small, independentfarmers" referred to in the editorial have no hope of feeding their rapidly growing populations if theyaren't given loans to invest in irrigation projects and purchase fertilizer. The World Bank has proven to be a competent institution for providing some of the development loans these countries need sodesperately. We should be expanding our support for such a successful organization rather thansubjecting it to unfounded criticism. â€”Mike Hendrickson Take long hike bicyclists warn WesternFront: This is in response to the letter written by G. Johnson which appeared in the Oct. 23 edition ofthe Front. The cyclists of Western would like to address the problem of pedestrian interference. For the sake of pedestrian safety on the famous Arntzen Hall-Red Square route there are certain guidelines tobe considered: I)Avoid walking on the sidewalks, stay on the grass or dirt. Cyclists prefer smoothsurfaces with less friction. 2) Don't try to out-think the cyclist. In other words do not dodge left thenright to avoid a collision. Cyclists have the velocity under control and your confusion will only complicatethe situation. 3)Pedestrians should make themselves visible during daytime by^ wearing bright clothes and at night we suggest reflectors or even lights on backpacks to warn oncoming cyclists.4)Pedestrians need to take extra precautions during wet weather as bicycle stopping distances areincreased substantially because of a low coefficient of friction between brake shoes and water. Inaddition, rain will bring out the danger of slipping on slugs during high speed cornering, hence thepedestrian should avoid blind corners and intersections. 5)Pedestrians must stay off ramps. Thesewere designed for wheeled vehicles only. Pedestrians please take note: Your caution and commonsense should prevail in preventing future mishaps. â€” C. Cox R. Huff R. Penny 'Philistines'... on theFront? Western Front: The letters section of the Oct. 23 edition of the Front reveals once again how thepresence of modern art on Western's campus brings Philistines out of the closet. I suppose we can look forward to a forthcoming article or editorial in the Front ridiculing Western's outdoor museum aswell. Actually, I'm somewhat surprised it has taken you this long.

"Stop talkin'. andstart chalking," it says with a gravelly voice out of a Wrangler Jeans commercial. It speaks, whetheranyone is there to listen or not. "All these machines have little sayings,"said Sam Lord, a woman whoworks at the cashier's booth in The Grotto. "It's kind of strange to hear it when there's nobody playing."But it is not often that The Grotto, the L-shaped game room on the first floor of the Viking Union building,is empty. The foot of the L is usually host to a dozen or so students making the producers of pinballmachines richer a quarter at a time. Four pinball machines are lined up. and ready, sitting against onebare wall, between the video games and an air-hockey table. Junior high school students, out from classsuspiciously early, often crowd the video machines, while Western's students, a few at a time, trudge infor some serious pinball. Some of the players are very good, such as Doug Scott. Others, such as SteveBostrom and Doug Goldsmith, are not as good. But their reasons for playing pinball are the same. "When I first started playing was when 1 found out my financial aid didn't go through," Bostrom, a fair-haired,smiling junior who has since left school, said. Around him three friends took turns on 8-ball Deluxe, themachine with the Wrangler voice and the favorite of most players who visit The Grotto. "Playing this wasa good way to forget about the whole situation," he said. "I came down and pumped about three or fourdollars into the thing." "I'm not very good," Goldsmith conceded earlier in the day. Like Bostrom, thebespectacled junior, short and curly haired, with a wry smile always on the verge of springing across hisface, was playing 8-ball deluxe with some friends. "It's a great way to take out frustration and anger,"he said. "Sometimes you win." The Grotto also houses eight pool tables, but the serious pinball playersavoid other diversions. "Pinball is the old standard," said Scott, a tall, dark-haired, youthful-lookingsophomore in a blue jogging suit. He said the video Grotto machines di games have set patterns of play,which can be memorized and beaten. "Pinball is more challenging." Scott turned to punch up one of 12free games he had won from the 8-ball deluxe that day on one quarter. The Wrangler voice respondedInnovative Hairstyling For Men and Women 716 E.

A silver balLpopped in front of the spring, handle that would put it in play. Scott's hands rested firmly overthe edge of the machine, fingers poised lightly over the buttons that control the flippers. A quick jerk onthe spring handle sent the first of three balls up the side of the playing surface until it reached the top ofthe table. The giant metal marble then rolled lazily back down into the forest of lights, targets, bumpersand chutes the ball must hit to score points. Around half-a-million points will get you a replay on 8-ballDeluxe, and digital counters on the scoreboard above kept a running tally. Scott's fingers spasmodicallyslapped the buttons, activating the flippers and sending the ball back into the forest. The ball careened off bumpers and knocked down rows of targets at Scott's direction, while the scoreboard beeped and whined as points added up. Keeping the ball in play is the key, Scott said. A bad shot will send the ball to theedges or down the middle, where the flippers cannot reach. Sweat beaded on Scott's forehead as heplayed, his legs kicking and pelvis twitching as though outside help might make a better shot. Later hesaid he was unconscious of the body movement. "Know your, machine," Scott said. He seemed to knowall the machines, scoring well in quick demonstrations of Xenon, The BJack - Knight and Flash Gordonafter he finished with 8-ball Deluxe. "Once you know your machine you know what to hit (the targets thatwill score the most points), but that's when your luck comes in. Luck's probably a lot bigger factor," hesaid. Scott'said concentration also is important. Oddly the room around him was filled with noise, fromthe beeping and screaming video games, unidentifiable rock music endlessly blaring from a pair of crustyspeakers on the walls and the pinball machines. "Enter Xenon!" one commands, as the next announces"No one can defeat the Black Knight!" Flash Gordon laughs at losers and calls winners "miserableearthlings." The scoreboards feature pictures of men, monsters and seductive beauties to give body to the beckoning voices. "Eight-ball Deluxe is about your nicest machine," Scott said. The Wrangler voicesuggests which targets to hit and broadcasts no mockery at losers. The other machines also have morecomplicated scoring systems and split-level playing surfaces. Scott explained once your ball is on thelower level it is difficult to get back up to the other one again, and the upper level is where the greaterscoring possibilities are. "It's a rather physical game," Scott said, pulling the top of his jogging suit onover a white T-shirt. "It's good form of recreation. It's an escape, and I don't like watching television much." Scott looked at the Xenon machine and made a disparaging remark about its split-level playing surface."Actually I haven't played Xenon in a while," he added, fishing a quarter out of his pocket and plopping itin the machine. Eventually the room emptied for a moment, but more players arrived soon. "I guess toknow that you might win once in a while," Goldsmith said of playing every day. "Nothing about the gamemakes any sense. It has its perverse, intrinsic rewards." "It doesn't matter how much money you pumpinto it as long as you win that one game," Bostrom said. A new player trudged in, pausing to trade adollar for four quarters with Sam Lord. The music blared on as the student dropped his pack to size upthe enemy before wading in. "I'm lucky to read a page," out of her Vico-ed textbook, Lord said, becauseof all the noise. A rough-looking pool player, poised with cue in hand on the 8-ball Deluxe scoreboard,barked out the challenge again. The player slipped a quarter in. "Chalk up!" the machine said.

Tchaikovsky tonight Classics performed Western's Symphony-Orchestra, composed of 90student musicians, is'"the best we've ever had," conductor Barton Frank said. The orchestra presents a free concert at 8:15 tonighrin the Performing Arts Center Concert Hall. Berlioz's "Roman CarnivalOverture" opens the program. It will be followed by Haydn's "Symphony No. 88" and Tchaikovsky's "FifthSymphony," "one of the most popular pieces in the entire symphonic literature," Frank said. Theorchestra plays two on-campus concerts each quarter and may present an additional one this spring."That is more than any other school in the state," Frank said. Also on the orchestra's schedule is a Nov.5 and 6 tour which includes performances in Richland, Ken-newick, Tacoma and Clover Park. SpotlightThe Sharx In a town where bands form and expire as their members move in, drop out, graduate or getbetter-paying jobs, The Sharx are a refreshing change. Each of the four band members is a full-timemusician; no classes or other jobs usurp their time or energy. And "energy" definitely is at the crux ofevery Sharx performance. From the opening bars to the final crescendo, Arnie Rodd Gonzales, ScottDavis, Matt Nims and George Thomas twist, shout and assault their audience with a non-stop barrage ofpowerful rock V roll. Listeners unaccustomed to Sharx performances may be overwhelmed. Sharing lead vocals are guitarist Gonzales and drummer Davis. Guitarist Thomas and basist Nims also step in foroccasional lead vocals, making The Sharx one of few bands that actually works as an ensemble."There's no prima donna in this group," Gonzales said. "We all play equally well." Well-placed harmonies back up strong lead vocals throughout their repertoire, composed of aggressive covers of songs madepopular by groups ranging from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to AC/DC, laced with hard-drivingoriginals. One Sharx tune, the brash "Hanky Panky," has had considerable airplay on K1SM-FM.Gonzales said, however, that original tunes get a less than enthusiastic reception locally. "We playmaybe a set of originals," he said. "In this town, you have to do a lot of covers or the audience won'trespond." Moving to Seattle, where audiences are "much more receptive to original material," is the nextin a string of goals that would culminate in a major recording contract, band members said. But beforethey make that move, The Sharx said they must perfect their act and gain a name for themselves locally. "You sort of have to build up a following to take along to Seattle in order to gain a foothold there," Nimssaid. Onstage, Gonzales seems to have the dangerous air of a man who knows too much, while Davis,Nims and Thomas have the fresh-scrubbed looks of prep-school kids a girl could take home to Mama.Stage presence and acrobatics are important to The Sharx, with Nims and Thomas (in bright yellowkneepads) playing off each other with choreographed jumps, bobs and turns. The Sharx have beentogether just over a year, although Davis, Nims and Thomas also played together in high school. Withtheir aggressive self-assurance, The Sharx just might graduate from college-town bars to a spot in thecosmopolitan music world. â€”Connie Compton Halloween Special ^ ^^ ^^^^^^ ^p ^^ ^^ *^ ^j* *js â€¢(**| gt; *P *JS Vino Bianco Vino Rosso Vino Fiamma Ex.

Brown Western prof turns out'potboiler' mystery novel By PEGGY LOETTERLE R.D. Brown, author and English professor atWestern, has turned out a new novel described as a "potboiler" by one local bookseller. "PrimeSuspect," a 208-page mystery published by Tower Books, deals with a series of murders at mythicalBenson University and the trauma experienced by affirmative action officer Susan Meredith, who findsherself in the role of a sleuth. Meredith is presented as a strong, liberated woman ! in this latest work. "1 try to write liberated books for liberated people," said Brown, who said his idea for "Prime Suspect" wasinspired by his 23-year-old daughter, Susan. . "I wanted to create a commercial property," Brown said,who teaches a course entitled "Writing for Money." "I spend my sabbatical leave talking with writers andpublishers in New York, Los Angeles and New Mexico. "I learned 80 percent of the novels sold arebought by women, and 80 percent of the publishers and editors are women," he said. "In 'PrimeSuspect' I tried to create a-liberated woman." "Commercial writing is one way, among others, to makeuse of an English major," Brown said. In his class, Brown teaches his students some of the ways to getstarted writing, such as the use of synopses and plot outlines. He also gives students marketing tips onhow to get their work published. In approaching his own work, Brown relies on discipline. "Just sit down and do it," he advised. "Build up a habit of writing at a certain time and in a certain place. Writing isaddictive and pretty soon you feel guilty if you are not writing." While Brown cannot provide inspiration forevery potential writer, he suggests starting with a character, putting her in a setting of conflict, and tryingto figure out how the character can get herself out of that conflict. "But," he said, "you do spend a lot oftime staring at walls and talking to yourself." Brown, a graduate of Indiana University and OxfordUniversity, has taught at Western since 1965. He has written several technical books, has two popularbooks ready for the publisher and is currently working oh a "serious novel," he said. 'Getting Out' opensThursday Crime drama a tale of hope By DONNA BISCAY When Dan Larner of Western's theatre/dance department began looking for a contemporary play to open the fall season with, he said hehoped to find one that would provide an opportunity for mature actors to stretch their abilities. "GettingOut," by Marsha Norman, provides that opportunity. Opening Thursday in Old Main Theater, "GettingOut" is the story of a young woman named Arlie (played by Karen Hallmark, a junior theater major) whoat 16 is sent to prison for several crimes, including murder. In another setting, juxtaposed on stage, eight years later Arlie is free and called Arlene. Arlene is played by Susan Nekota, a senior economics majorwith a theater degree from San Diego State University. "This is a very realistic play, with implicit andexplicit violence," Larner, the director, said. The play also is an optimistic one, he added. The play tellsthe story of one woman's attempt to love and survive, inside and outside of .prison walls. "It is like aGreek play, in a way, because we are told of the event which turns the person around," Larner said. Ex-convicts and former prison guards were invited to rehearsals to talk with the cast, Larner said, becausethe life styles and experiences of the characters are so unlike that of most cast members. "This is aplay about growing up, child abuse and parents and kids," Larner said. Arlene, who is abused as a child,deals with her mother (played by Colette Ogle, theater major) in tlie first act. Other characters in Arlene's life include a prison guard, Bennie,(played by,Rick Bonis, theater major) who enters her life outside ofprison. Arlene also attempts to cope with the lure of her former pimp, Carl (played by Chris Newton)."Getting Out" premiered at the Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1978. It later played New York, where itstarred former Western theater major Pamela Reed. Larner said he does not recommend the play foryounger children, but said it might be appropriate for teenagers. "I try to bring to the community playsabout something they haven't considered or maybe should consider," Larner said. The .last plays hedirected were "Major Barbara" ,and "Oh, What_ a Lovely: ;Waf-" -â€¢; lt; gt;.: "Getting Out" will bepresented Oct. 29 to Nov. 1 and Nov. 5 to 8. Curtain time is 8:15 p.m., except for Sunday matinees at2:15 p.m. Tickets are $4 for general admission and $3 for students and senior citizens. Society invitesmusicians to perform By CHRIS MCMILLAN Traditionally, concert audiences are restricted to listening.The Whatcom County Homemade Music Society offers its audience a chance to participate as well.The society's season, which runs â€¢from October to May, is divided into two parts. On the second andfourth Wednesdays of each month, the society presents concerts. Admission is $2, $1 for children.On the first, third and fifth Wednesdays, the society invites the audience to a "music circle," where theycan play instruments, sing or just listen. The society operates with the assistance of the WhatcomCounty Parks and the Bellingham Parks and Recreation Department. It began in 1977 under thesupervision of Richard Scholtz. "I just thought it was a good idea," Scholtz said. "It was a lot more funto play." Scholtz said the name for the society sprang from its music. "It's music people make at homefor their own pleasure rather than music made up with a particular audience in mind." "I didn't want tocall it a folk music club," he said. "It has too many connotations that no one knows about." Scholtz leftthe society in 1979. "It pulls a lot of energy," he said. "I needed to put that energy elsewhere." At thattime, David Hull took over as the society supervisor. Hull said he favors local performers when hebooks acts. He said one of the barriers to having out-of-town acts is that the society has no budget. Allwork is on a volunteer basis, and the admission collected at the concerts goes to the performers. Hesaid it would not pay for traveling expenses. All the society's functions are in the living room of theRoeder Home. "It makes an intimacy for a. concert you don't get anywhere else," Hull said. Thesociety's next concert is 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. The musicians are Richard Scholtz, Marie Eaton, aninstructor at Western and Janet Peterson, a Seattle musician. . W.W.U.

Three hours, 15 penalties and eight turnovers after the opening kickoff, the Southern Oregon State College Raiders possessed a convincing, if uninspiring,21-6 victory over the Vikings, but Mills was far from satisfied. "It was a game of mistakes, that's fordamn sure," he said. About the turnovers and penalties, he said, "there's just not a lot you can sayabout it." Long, who spent all week fretting about whether his defenders would be able to stopSouthern Oregon, said his defense played well. It was his usually explosive offense that experienceddifficulty, he said. Quarterback Matt Beck led the district in passing prior to Saturday but managed to complete only five of 22 passes. His backup, Eric Ummel, connected on ojily four of 13. Overall, thepassing game netted barely 100 yards, while a consistent ground attack never materialized. "Ican't understand it," Long said, unable to make sense of his team's offensive collapse. "We had a goodweek in turnout, but our offense stunk up the place today. We;;Teally came oiitflai." y Southern Oregonitself.was, no model of intensity during the first half. The Raiders threatened early, apparently scoring ona 28-yard, first-quarter pass from Mike Shroe-der to flanker Martin Turner. But the play was nullifiedbecause of an ineligible receiver downfield. The first half was filled with miscues, including: â€” RaiderJeff Landon's shanked punt, which went out of play two yards behind the line of scrimmage.Southern Oregon quarterback _Mike Shroeder gets pressure from â€” Ummel's pinpoint pass to JeffOlsen who, unfortunately for Western, plays for the Raiders. Olsen gathered the pass in stride at theViking 45-yard-line and scampered down to the 14. Halfback Jeff Southern ran seven yards off tacklefor the game's first score two plays later. â€” The Raider secondary's imitation of the Keystone cops,in which two defensive backs jumped up and down in frustration after Viking wingback Mark Robertson surreptitiously slipped by them for a wide-open 45-yard touchdown reception. â€” Shane Brigg'sensuing extra point attempt, which would have tied the game at seven. The ball barely cleared theoutstretched arms of Southern Oregon's defenders, only to strike the left goal post and fall harmlesslyto the ground. Trailing by one at halftime, the Vikings appeared in good position to pull off an upset, butthe powerful Raiders, now 5-1, began to overcome their mistakes in the second half. With 5:24remaining in the third quarter, Shroeder once again hit Turner wide open in the end zone, and SouthernOregon led 14-6. Any hopes for a Viking victory were crushed early in the fourth quarter, when theRaiders put together a seven-play, 63-yard drive, culminating in another Southern touchdown, a 15-yard sweep a-rourid the left end.

Perhaps it is time we stoppedletting it burrow out again. The plundered Vikings are 0-6 for 1981 and quite probably will not win a gamethis year. Western fans reported Saturday's loss was particularly appalling. i Something must be done.Too long we have grown up expecting to igo to college and root for the football team. Instead we havegone to .college and been presented with a football team better served by snide jokes than by cheers.Several options are possible: 1) fire the coach; 2) trade the team for a high draft choice; 3) arrange aneasier schedule; 4) discontinue football and do something else. The first three choices are eitheruseless or impossible. First, Boyde Long is a nice man and while he is proving Leo Durocher's adagequite nicely the team is too dismal to be entirely his fault. Second, even if high school players could bedrafted we probably could not sign any of them. Third, Western is already competing at the lowest level of collegiate football, and you can only schedule Pacific once a year. The fourth suggestion has merit.Whatever Western's athletic philosophy might be, the football program is at best a very expensive wayto build character. The money might help other programs more. We might start a varsity men's volleyballteam. Because no other college in the Northwest has a men's volleyball team, we would be guaranteed aconference championship each year. Or the money from the football team could be used to upgrade thebasketball program, by entering NCAA, Division II competition and offering partial scholarships. Then wecould recruit quality players, having something more to offer them than this happy little town and a decentacademic program. And it only takes eight good players to make a good basketball team, instead of 30or 40 as in football. This runs against everything Western stands for athletically, but so, it seems, doeswinning. Perhaps one change would bring another. â€” Terry M. Sell I ; , â€¢ As the wind picked upSaturday afternoon, Western women's soccer team picked up another win; 4-1 against the University ofPuget Sound Loggers. Saturday's win combined with Thursday's tie with the University of Washington inHusky Stadium, gives the team a 4-1-4 standing in the Northwest Womens' Soccer. Conference. TheVikings dominated play throughout the game, leading 3-0 at halftime. Cindy Gordon, the Vikings' leading scorer with seven goals this season, tallied three times in the first half, using quick footwork andaccurate dribbling. Coach Dominic Garguile substituted often in the second half, replacing- the entirefront line. Even Jaimie Jaderholm, usually at goalie, came out of the goal, made a fast costume changeand played wing. Colleen Clancy, at midfield, scored the fourth goal unassisted, after eluding severalLoggers and booting a strong, well-placed shot into the net. --. The Loggers' only goal came early in thesecond half when Viking centerback Sabrina Ruby moved out to the wing and left a Logger in thecenter open. The pass was made and the uncovered league if Western beats the Huo kies Nov. 5 atCivic Stadium. Logger slipped the ball into the goal. Garguile said he- was pleased with the aggressiveplay, especially in the tie with UW. He said, "We literally dominated them but they got two fast breaksand used them. We shot 30 times on goal, they shot six. They have a goalie who plays goal nationally.-She was good.'?- - Garguile said the Vikings have a chance at second place in the league and ifWestern beats the Huskies"-Nov.- 5 at Civic Stadium. Kelley O'Reilly was injured in the second halfwhen she twisted her knee. She sat out the remainder of the match.

Jordan received the ball mid-field, faked right, then left, and"just hammered a 30-yarder,"coach Bruce Campbell said. Campbell called Jordan's second game-winning goal of the season "brilliant." The TUESDAY-OCTOBER 27, 1981 Viks sharp in 2-1 win shotcapped what Campbell said was the Vikings best effort of the year. "Our skills were sharp, we wereintense and we tackled hard," he said later. "And we didn't make any defensive errors," he continued."We definitely did against Simon Fra-ser, and it cost us." Unlike the 4-1 lost to Simon Fraser UniversityWednesday night, the game started well for Western. Forward Kris Langkow started the scoring forWestern after 32 minutes of play, completing an excellent three-way play. Viking midfielder SteveLippold started the play with a chip over a Chieftain defender's head to midfielder Mike Hawkins. Hawkins then lobbed the ball to Langkow, who slipped the ball low past the goalkeeper. The Chieftains hadpossession of the ball more often than the Vikings, Campbell said, but did not have many goodscoring chances. Then with 10 minutes left in regulation time, forward Tom Guichard tied the game.Jordan's game-winner gave the Vikings their second Northwest College Soccer Conference win, againstthree losses. Seattle U. dropped to 2-2. Similar intensity will be needed tomorrow night, when theVikings head for Husky Stadium to play the always tough University of Washington "Soccerdogs." After the Vikings defeated Seattle U., Campbell watched U W "take apart" Simon Fraser. The verdict was 3-1 in favor of UW, but it "could have easily been 6-1," he said.

SEARCHERS FOR LOST LAKE WILL LEAVE THE GYM TOMORROW AT 8:30 Consolidating Student Offices Will Give More Efficient Service . Old students returning to school this fall will go to a different room to pay fees and get their credit cards. Construction is progressing rapidly in room 119, where the first phases of the remodeling are nearing completion. The biggest job still to be done is construction of a new vault to house the financial records of the college. To all those who are familiar with the appearance of the college, this new construction will be noteworthy, for it will slightly alter the front of the building. The vault is to be built outside room 119, between the Walls of the building and first floor entry, over the basement entrance. The basement entrance will become, in effect, a short tunnel from the sidewalk, under the vault, into the basement hall. New Vault Under Construction ~. The vault will have three rooms occupying two stories, and will be constructed of reinforced concrete, with a brick veneer on the front, visible side. Concrete footings have already been poured. During the past several days, workmen were busy drilling and excavating, and the vault will rest on the secure foundation of solid rock, nine feet below sidewalk level. The Charles A. Standen Construction Co., of Bellingham, is the contractor. It was discovered, while pouring the footings, that the portion of the building that includes the south main floor entrance has settled three inches since it was built. This is accounted for by the fact that that part of the building was built on a fill, while the remainder is founded on solid rock- ..The vault will be constructed so that it will "float", and remain in position if further settling occurs. Department of Student Personnel "Moving the business office to a new location will make facilities available for a new administrative unit, the department of Student Personnel," stated Dr. W. W. Haggard, president. "In the past, it has been necessary to house the different student records in different offices. This naturally resulted in some delay and confusion in recording, supplying information to individual students, and preparing personnel information for the various agencies concerned. Moving the business office to its new location in room 119 will allow consolidation of all student offices and records into a single administrative* unit, and Western Washington College will be better able to give speedy, efficient service to its students. Efficiency is the watchword," Dr. Haggard concluded. Donald Ferris New Registrar The transfer of the business office is only one part of a three-way switch in administrative offices. The registrars office will move into the room vacated by the financial staff, and the new office, student personnel, will occupy the present registrar's office. Dr. Merle S. Kuder will be the Director of Student Personnel, and Donald Ferris will join the college as Registrar. Mr. Ferris comes from Mount Vernon Junior College by Way of Columbia University, where he is studying this summer, and will assume his new position this fail. Hikers Search For Lost Lake As a double climax to a week whose activities have already included a salmon bake and a picnic at the rocks, the school recreation committee has planned for the energetic, a hike; and for those whose tastes run to the relaxing and scenic, a boat ci'uise. On Saturday, there will be a five-mile hike to Lost Lake in the Chuck-anut Mountain area. The lake is one-half mile long and gets its n a m e from its hidden position among the hills. Hikers will carry their lunches. Coffee will be provided at the lake. The fish are jumping for those who take tackle and a license. Side trips may be taken to Pine and Cedar lakes. There will be no charge for this outing. The party will leave from the gym at 8:30 Saturday morning, and the hike will begin from the vicinity of Larrabee State Park. On Sunday there will be an all-day cruise among the islands aboard the M. V. Osage, visiting Sucia, Matia, Patos, and Waldron Islands. The party will stop for picnic lunch at Waldron, where there is an excellent swimming beach. Campfire coffee will be provided; each voyager should take his lunch. The boat will sail at 9:00 Sunday morning and will return to port about 6:00. There will be room for sixty passengers. Tickets are on sale in the recreation office at $1.75 each. Extension Workshops Show Enrollment Of Over 500 Teachers Nearly 500 elementary school teachers have enrolled for the summer extension workshops being conducted by Western Washington College of Education, Dr. W. W. Haggard, president, announced today. At Bremerton, the college in cooperation with the Kitsap county schools and the state board of education opened the two week session July 23 with 87 in attendance. A. L. Venn-Watson, Kitsap county superintendent, and Sidney Haugan, elementary supervisor for the Port ATTENTION P. L. 16 All veterans training under Public Law 16 are again reminded to contact the Veteran's Guidance Center as quickly as possible to sign application for annual leave for summer vacation. This has been accomplished by quite a number of Public Law 16 veterans, but there are still a few who have not given us any information regarding their plans for the summer. Wooden Dolls Coming Friday Marionettes have e n t e r t a i n e d WWC students before and are scheduled to do so again in this coming Friday's assembly, August 8. Don George, one of the foremost manipulators of marionettes in the United States, is presenting a performance for the college with some of his famous wooden dolls. Mr. George perfected his t e c h n i q ue u n d e r Tony' Sarg, the modern master of puppetry. The students will probably become acquainted with Paul Bunyan, Jr., who acts as the rriaster-of-cere-monies for most of the performance, with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn; characters from Alice in Wander-land, and from the "Mikado." A loud speaking system will be used, and since Mr. George uses large marionettes, from 27 inches to 30 inches tall, the, performance should be easily seen by everyone. Students Healthy During the 1946-47 school year, only 70 students were assigned to the college infirmary, President W. W. Haggard revealed today. "It was a very unusual year from the point of view of the health of the students," concluded Dr. Haggard. State Board Studies Graduate Program At Three Colleges ' At the July meeting of the State Board of Education in Olympia last week, the Board considered the graduate program of the three Washington Colleges of Education. A committee was appointed to examine in detail the program at each of the colleges, and to report back to the Board within two months. Various members of the Board spoke very highly of the graduate program recently inaugurated at the three institutions. ^r; Dateline . . . Saturday, August 2—All day hike to Ik gt;st Lake.

In The Good Old Summertime! —Cut Courtesy Bellinjrnatn Herald These two pretty WWC coeds have found that there is more than one way to beat the heat. Here'they are in the backyard at Senior hall cramming for midterm finals. Emmy Lou McGraw, left, of St. Glairs-vilie, Ohio, and Ellie Wilbanks of Vancouver, B. C. Orchard schools, are in charge of arrangements. Miss Hazel Plymp-ton, Miss Myrtle Burnham, Mrs. Mabel Hodge, and Mrs. Bearnice Skeen are the consultants from the college. Opening at Vancouver on July 30, the Clark county workshop has an enrollment of over 100. Dr. Raymond P. Hawk, director of the Campus school, and the Misses Evelyn Odom, June McLeod, Alice Siemons and Vivian Johnson will represent the college. Skagit County Workshop On August 18, the Skagit county workshop will open in Sedro-Wool-ley with Ted Muncaster, superintendent of the Sedro-Woolley schools in charge of local arrangements. Mrs. Skeen is director of organization and program, and will be aided by Miss Edna Channer and Miss Priscilla Kinsman of the college faculty. The arts and crafts workshop will be held in Seattle on August 13, at Lincoln high school with M i ss Plympton and Dale Goss representing the college. Dr. Hawk is in charge of the organizing and coordinating of the staffs for the various groups. The workshops are conducted to give those teachers who are unable to attend summer school an opportunity to work together in an attempt to solve some of the problems confronting them in the field of elementary education. The college grants three hours of credit to those completing the course. . Glenn Burgess Attending Drama Festival Glenn Burgess, of Bellingham, who is known to the students for his acting in school productions of Dear Ruth and The Corn Is Green, left last Friday morning for Plymouth, Mass., to attend summer course of Plymouth Drama Festival. Glenn is one of 120 aspiring actors who were selected from 1,800 applicants to take part in summer productions of "the biggest little theater in the world." Glenn was selected upon the recommendation of Mr. Victor Hoppe, college drama instructor. Plymouth -Drama Festival produces 45 Broadway plays in its five • theaters during each six-week term, with stage and screen celebrities as guest directors and players. Glenn will first be tiled out by his reciting a five-minute reading. After several weeks of training, he will aid in productions. ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 August 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, August 1, 1947 Established 1899 Member Associated GoIle6»ate Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Wastern Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash.

ATTENTION SMOKERS! At irregular intervals it appears to be necessary to remind the inveterate smokers of the student body to be careful with their cigarette stubs. Few of us condemn smoking on the campus; however, with certain privileges go certain responsibilities, and it doesn't appear to be an unreasonable request to ask all smokers to refrain from cluttering the entrances to the buildings with their cigarettes. This isn't the first time this matter, has come to our attention, and undoubedly it will not be the last; however, we sincerely hope it will not be necessary to call it to your attention again this quarter. Enough said. • RESURFACED PARKING LOT With the hard surfacing of the parking lot and drives rapidly near-ing completion, another eyesore of longstanding is being removed. Not only will the resurfacing eliminate the unsightly mudholes, but it will, by providing better parking facilities, alleviate to a degree the present traffic bottleneck. We commend the Board of Trustees for their action in bringing about this long needed improvement. onise ana gu By BOB MOBLO If anyone in the jazz world is eligible to play the serious music of Fritz Kreisler in the way that it was written, Charlie Spivak would be the man. Currently released in album form, are several Kreisler violin pieces specially transcribed and arranged for the sweet horn of Spivak. The album includes such beautiful numbers as Tamborin Chinois, Liebes-leid and Shon Bosmarin all done in the flowing tones of a mellow trumpet and losing little of the great feeling and subtle flavoring of the original. PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE MUSIC ON TOP . . . Currently popular around the local platter shops is a new novelty disk including double feature attractions. When the record is in motion the haunting strains of your favorite melody may be-heard, and when stopped the platter may be hung on the wall as an attractive picture. The whole idea involves the transparency of plastic disks. A picture in color and of suitable temperment for the mood of the piece is sandwiched between two layers of plastic and the musical message is inscribed there-on. Selling for a buck and a half the whole thing is a little idiotic unless someone can devise a way to use them for soup dishes. RECORD OP THE WEEK . . . "Resin on the bow, and here we go" are the opening lines to one of the biggest laughs since Cohan on the Telephone. Tim-Tayshun, as sung by Cinderella G. Stump (alias Jo Stafford) and backed by Red Ingle and his band, is purely a corny take-off on the sweet balled Temptation.

His words flowed out of his mouth in a monotonous monotone, conducive to slumber, or so the hapless students thought. Their minds caught at a word here and there but in the end gave it up as a bad job and eventually most of them retreated into their protective shells of daydreams or just plain sleep. —— Verbs, infinitives, gerunds, adverbial clauses, passed unseen and unheard before the students' eyes and ears. The professor stopped short in the middle of a long winded sentence designed to differentiate between a noun clause and an adjective clause, looked disgustedly at his langorous pupils and barked: "Class dismissed! I might as well be teaching a room full of apes for all the attention you give. And then you wonder why you can't speak English so people can understand you! You will never get anywhere in this world if you don't use English correctly. No one will understand what you mean."

Not being a choreographer of any repute it is difficult to understand all of the subtle meaning that was supposedly experienced in the dances at the assembly last Friday. However, almost everyone was amused at the antics of Miss Mary Tiffany in the comedy pieces and somewhat amazed at the graceful, flowing rhythm in the serious. Aside from these few things that could be appreciated by the layman, Miss Tiffany's program lacked the color and beauty that could have been there had we understood her action. For instance the Mind of Misery piece was evidently a portrayal of the manic-depressive type of psychosis which is about as satisfying as saying that the D Minor Symphony of Franck, portrays sadness. It just isn't enough. I believe that if we could have one good ballerina of Miss Tiffany's ability who would spend at least a part of her program in the explanation of the latent meanings of her dance we could all enjoy seeing ballet without that feeling of being in the dark.

Two students, members of his class were indulging in what appeared to be to the professor an odd mixture of slang and other words chosen at random. "Say, Bill, you still have that there red ink we had last Saturday night? Boy, were we ever oiled! That kong sure hit my pail hard. We should.be able to get some legit next time." "Yea, Joe, we might be able to have another little diluted jam session. Got a gasper on you? I'll take one of the herd. Got a meyer in your coffee bags? Thanks." The professor stepped back rather startled. What kind of language was this? Some strange double-talk, no doubt. He heard his name mentioned. Again he listened. Bill was remarking to Joe: "Say, you know, that English giggle's really droolin' with schoolin', ain't he? If he ever gets himself cooked, there won't be nuthin' left but an irregular verb." "Aw, stop worrin'. Ferget that educated moron.

He's been out of circulation too long and got musty. His line ain't got no oats." The red-faced professor hurried away from the pair of students. So that was what he was, eh? He was a dull, uninteresting old fuddy-duddy, was he? He'd show them! Maybe that was it! Maybe he had been out of circulation so long he had forgotten how to talk to the young people. Perhaps if he spoke their language . . .! The professor turned his steps toward the library. The next day in class he greeted his pupils rather uncertainly then turned to the lesson. "Now here is something I'd like to have you latch on to." The students opened their eyes. "I have no doubt been er-ah, slicing my chops too much about grammer and so on, but I shall endeavor to rectify my error. I should have remembered you and I were raised in different eras. Perhaps you will do a little more-er-er, racking up, if I get my ideas over in your language." • The students sat up and grinned. Now this was more like it. The old boy must have a spark left in him yet. Bill stuck an elbow into Joe's ribs and muttered in his ear: "He'll do alreet as soon as we get some of that fancy language trained out of him. It don't sound right mixed togethor. We should get something out of this class now that he's laid his racket." .

It's frustrating! The poor fish swims for hours, get's tired, and can't figure out why —he hasn't gone anywhere! He ponders. (A pondering goldfish has that same intelligent look seen on the face of a 7:30 lecture class student.) Pondering leads, by necessity, to clear-headed thinking, so the goldfish, like the student, gives up and goes back to swimming around in circles. ( "And-Fishing" Most aquaria, like most institutions of higher learning, are devised for circular motion. Pish, therefore, get used to swimming in circles. This is known as "adaptation to the environment," a practice which is healthy to begin with, but which becomes dangerous when it gets to be a habit. But fish are foolhardy and like to live dangerously. Occasionally one of them debarks from the norm and swims in a square pattern. He becomes what is known as a "square in the social circle" and is ostracised. People in institutions of higher learning are ostracised for the same reason. Obviously it doesn't pay to go square when everyone else is going 'round and 'round. "Area of Concentration" It has been suggested that a rectangular aquarium be devised. This is too confusing for fish which are well indoctrinated in circular swimming —they get lost in corners. Jack Horner knew what to do with a corner, but most fish dont. They merely hang around, their particular corner, proclaiming loudly that it is the only decent corner in the tank and that any self-respecting fish would choose that corner above all others. They become pedantic about their corner, rationalize it's obvious faults and indulge smugly in its virtues. This is known as specialization or "area of concentration." Those fish which poke around in all comers are frowned upon since they obviously cant make up their minds, and without an "area of concentration," cant be educated. Since they cant be educated they are given a B. A. in education and removed from the fishbowl. Miss May Meade Retires After Thirty-Three Years of Service By NITA CLOTHIER Miss May Meade, dear to the students for her pink pills, class excuses, and sage motherly advice, retired this month after 33 years in the office of school nurse. The students and administration regret Miss Meade's retirement, and are grateful to her for her years of faithful competent service. . Miss Meade is the daughter of A. E. Meade, who was governor of the state in the years 1905 to 1909. She became a member of the Bellingham Normal staff in 1914, soon after graduation from Northwest Training School for Nurses in Port Town-send. She became a registered nurse in 1919 with the first class in public health to graduate from the University of Washington after World War I. In 1920, she was appointed to the State Board of Nurse Examiners by Governor Lister. She was twice reappointed serving the board for 13 years. Miss Meade plans to spend a year in Pasadena, California, returning next spring to live with her brother in Olympia. Miss Mead has been replaced in the nurse's office by Miss Elmina Boothby of Everett. Miss Meade's has been an ex-amplary record of selfless service. Her sweet smile and gentle manner appeal to patients; however one, tends to take these traits for granted. Upon losing her, we pause to realize and to appreciate the depth of character behind always-there, ever soft-spoken, ever helpful Miss Meade.

An-opening night game, September 27, with St. Martins college at Battersby field at 8 p. m. under the floodlights, sets off the eight game Viking schedule. The men of Lappenbusch will play four of them at home,. and four away. An extra Thanksgiving Day tilt, to be held at Bellingham, is an added possibility. A tip off as to the Viking football strength seems to be anyone's guess at the present moment. According to Coach Lappenbusch there are at the present moment at least nine improbable starters on the coming gridiron edition. Dr. Lapp recalled his 1938 championship outfit when but one or two slots were before hand question marks. Stressing his lack*;6f tackles, Lappy also intimated need for more depth in the guard department in the way of heavy and fast men. Losses Felt The loss of such men as Del Peterson, Herb Witt, Don Packard, as well as others will be felt, although their places may well be filled by a galaxy of second year men all of whom performed most capably last year. Pre-game practice will jump the gun just a little this year, with the first training table on tap September 15. Coach Bill McDonald, the adept and indispensable Viking trainer will again handle the kneading operations. On paper it shapes up as a more than ordinarily well matched Winco league football year, although reports from Pacific Lutheran keep insisting that school is the team to beat. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch sums it all up with a timely, whimsical remark, "All the other teams are boasting of an undefeated season. We might as well be quoted as not losing a game either."

"We had plenty of good food, and everybody cooperated in preparing it," Coach McDonald said. "However," he . continued, "Dr. Irwin Hammer proved his stellar ability at flipping flapjacks." Though the sky remained overcast most of the time, it did not rain. Sunday, many short hikes were taken to nearby points, with three of the party (Misses Mildred Herrick, Marjorie Muffly and Mar-jorie Kingsley) taking a 12 mile side trip to Copper Mt. Lookout.

Semi-Pro Tourney Starts Today; Bells Play Army Tonight Bellingham's semi-pro champions, the Bells, will defend their state title tonight at Battersby field against the Fort George Wright nine in the opening game of the 1947 semi-pro tournament. Skipper Joe Martin's pitching staff for the tournament includes Hal Arnason, Dick Plank, Cleary Cone, and Al Ivanich, with Arnason or Plank probably getting starting duties tonight. Besides the seasons regulars, Ty Hofeditz, Dick Zender, Cliff Gaff-ney, Bob Nunamaker, Walt Richardson, Van Sinderen, Pete Zender, Pat Brady, and Clayton Carr, Manager Martin has added Prank Fidler, Everett first baseman, and Jack Hjel-maa, Vancouver infielder, to the tournament roster. The addition of the two new players was to bring more power into the batting order, and both will probably see action in the Bells' outfield. Bob Nunamaker was the starting second baseman for the Western nine during the past college season. The first tournament game tonight is scheduled to get underway at 8:15 p. m. Collegians Play In County Softball Meet Bellingham's soft-ball teams are losing ground fast in the Lynden. tournament. Only Bellingham'Mot-ors of the A league and Knights of Columbus in the B league remained Wednesday evening. Puget Sound Power will be able to take fifth place by winning their next game. Ferndale and Lynden All-Stars collided last night, and the winner wiH meet the Bellingham Motors for the title. Tuesday night the Pacific Coast Paper Mills and the Y's Men Club will eliminated. The tournament has been a great success for the town of Lynden this year with the ball park crowded every evening. The playoff was held at the fair grounds. At present Lynden All-Stars loom up as the possible victors from their strong showing throughout the games. Numerous WWC men have taken part in the tournament, if not in the game itself; behind the plate. Jack Burrell of Huntoon has been plate umpire for three of the games so far.

LeGard finished the game with16 points. See Page 8 By Sarah J. Olson The Western Front "There is an underlying issue; it's not so much about eating,"said Pat Hudson, speaker at Wednesday night's presentation at St. Luke's Community HealthEducational Center. Hudson, the Center for Disease Control outreach coordinator for Seattle's SwedishMedical Center spoke about "Eating Disorders: How To Help Someone You Know." Associated witheating disorders are some co-existing psychiatric disorders like depression, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic-stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance abuse. "Depression is an importantpart of the illness," Hudson said. "The eating disorder is second to the depression disorder." One meal a day or one meal every three days may be an anorexic's eating habits. A half a cup of pasta or an applemay be the only nutrients an anorexic will consume, Hudson said. They think all the time about whatthey will and will not eat. They drink a lot of water and an occasional diet cola to get a little caffeineboost. "When they look in the mirror they see a fat person," Hudson said. "Eating disorders robindividuals of their vitality or their life force," said Bellingham therapist, Connie Feutz'a specialist ineating disorders. Layers of clothing are worn to cover up a thinning body, and at the same time theybelieve they still look fat. In reality, a layer of body fat has been eaten away by a starving body, and theclothing is now a necessity to keep warm. "It's not a matter of not knowing what to eat," said Hudson. Most people with anorexia or bulimia nervosa are well educated on nutrition, so much so, theycompletely restrict fat from what they eat. Many have a continuing sensation of being hungry and feel incontrol when they can overcome the feeling by not eating. "Every young woman who starts an eatingdisorder believes she can stop whenever she wants," Feutz said. "Nobody goes into it thinking, 'Hey,I'm going to be a bulimic,'" Hudson said. "In the patient program, we are seeing the worst of theworst." Eating disorders are not limited to women; men are also affected and need treatment. Highschool sports such as wrestling can be a catalyst for male eating disorders, Hudson said. She said thediets and See Disorder, page 4 Plans underway for online grades By Amy King The Western FrontStudents will be able to register and access their grades on the World Wide Web in two years, thanks to a new $500,000 software package. The Registrar's Office is upgrading registration capabilities withBanner software, which will allow students Web access to schedules, grades and degree audit systemsas well as registration. Under the Banner system, declared double- major students will gain registration access to classes in both majors through the current RS VP system. The Banner system will providestudents with "better access to information," Registrar Joe St. Hilaire said. Since students will be able to access a copy of their grades on the Web, St. Hilaire said, he hopes to cut costs by eliminating theneed to mail grades to students. Western's purchase of the new Banner system will be paid out of theUniversity Operating Budget with no additional costs for students, said Jerry Boles, vice provost ofInformation and Telecommunications. "It's humongous," St. Hilaire said to describe the complexity of theconversion process, which will impact the registration, human resources, financial aid, accountsreceivable and alumni development departments. The process will take approximately two yearsbecause complex data about each student must be programmed into the system. Rules concerningadd and drop privileges, the junior writing exam, limits on classes for declared majors and add codesmust be factored into the process. The Banner system "has to be adapted so it meets our qualities," St.Hilaire said. The conversion will facilitate a uniform information system throughout universitydepartments. The Registrar's Office will begin its conversion following the Human ResourcesDepartment's conversion slated to be completed by summer. Financial aid, accounts receivable andalumni development will begin the upgrade when the registration portion is completed. St. Hilairedescribed how data entered into the new student record system provides crucial links necessary forother offices to besin the conversion. For instance, a student's registration record provides theinformation that would determine whether a student was eligible for financial aid based on academicperformance. Currently, the Registrar's Office is using a "home-grown" computer program developedin the 1970s. This program was devised and programmed by Western staff in a computer languageknown as "W," St. Hilaire said. Because of the increase in computer technology over the past decade,programmers have slowly been phasing the "W" language out because it is less efficient andoutdated. "W" is being replaced by a vendor-sup- See Technology, page 4 ---------- Western Front - 1997 February 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ The Western Front NEWS February 7, 1997 University Police Feb. 4,2:59 p.m.: Police respondedto a possible fight in Higginson Hall.

Milt Krieger, an ACC General Studies TaskForce member, called for more specifics in the program. "I feel it needs to be better as well as betterdefined," Krieger said. Criticism arose because faculty advisers are not available for students majoringin the program. Students wishing to major in the program must pick up forms in the registrar's officeand take the forms to faculty advisers for a signature. "One of the things that concerns me is it seemsthe rules for this program are being made up as you go along," said Elizabeth Smith, an AssociatedStudents representative. Current requirements for the major, which is new this year, includes 60 creditsof upper-division courses representing two or more departments. Students must earn C minuses orbetter to pass their classes and can't use the pass/no pass option. Members of the ACC found thisdescription ambiguous and misleading. "If nothing else, we ought to augment the description in thecatalogue," said Joe St. Hilaire, Western's registrar. Krieger suggested changing the program#to respondto first- and second-year students, instead of catering to upperclassmen who need credits to graduate.The general studies task force plans to study the major and report to the ACC by the end of the quarter.Designed to give students an interdisciplinary education, the major is often used by students who planto go on to medical school or law school. "A biology degree is not necessary (to go to medical school),"said Emily Peele, a biology professor. "We should encourage (students) to become better writers anddeeper thinkers." Peele said many medical schools prefer not to have incoming students armed withbiology degrees. The schools prefer to teach the subjects with their models, she said. Western currently has 26 general studies majors and three graduates. Krieger said the committee plans to keep tabs onthe graduates and see if the major proves useful. Krieger said the general studies program largelyconsists of former psychology majors. "As I was saying, you can see a heavy post-psych syndrome here," Krieger said.

There are many other roots of eating disorders, Hudson said. "Dieting alone is a set-up forbingeing." Second-generation eating disorders are becoming more apparent because children heartheir parents ask, "Does that make me look fat?" Hudson said. The tragic result is that we are seeing younger and younger children, Front/Amy Sievertsen ages 6 and 7 years old, with eating disorders.The family of the individual needs to become involved and realize that an eating disorder is a seriousissue that may result in death, Hudson said. "We see it often times as a family disorder." The mediaalso sell a "distorted body image" to young people at a time when they are trying to decide what theirvalues are, Hudson said. "They are starving themselves to fit society's ideal image." Candice Wiggum of the Counseling Center agreed. "The end result is that we judge ourselves all the time. Society's eyeis out there watching and telling us what we should look like to be accepted. Women are looked at asobjects, and their bodies are portrayed as art." Angella Lopes, a senior at Bellingham High Schoolwho attended the presentation with her mother said, "This presentation made me realize that I need toget a handle on my eating habits, or my life will continue to deteriorate." Kady DeVore, Bellinghamresident and Lopes' mother said, "I wanted to bring her here as a wake-up call to show her howeverything is connecting." "I knew there was a problem with her being underweight for her age andheight, but mental health authorities never advised me of the issue that she may have an eatingdisorder," DeVore said. "She was not eating regularly and had stopped having her menstrual periodwhen I became concerned'about her health. She has always been a small-boned child," DeVore said.Showing concern for the individual and intervening in their eating disorder will help sort out theproblems the person is suffering in their life. Programs that help people with eating disordersencourage different ways for the patient to express their inner feelings about the eating disorder totry and overcome the underlying problems. "Art therapy is a good way of expressing their feelings whenthey can't express themselves verbally," Hudson said. Eating disorder patients use crayons and otherart supplies to draw pictures expressing their feelings about themselves, people around them and theirlife struggles. Western has resources on campus available for students concerned about eatingdisorders. The Counseling Center in Miller Hall offers a library to research topics about eatingdisorders as well as counseling services. Kara TenKley, nutritionist for Mariott, will meetindividually with students to help them put together balanced meal plans. Students and nurses arealso available to talk at the student health care center and SHAIC Self-Care Resources, located in HighStreet Hall.

Western's annual French Film Festival will runSunday, Feb. 9 to Thursday, Feb. 13 and is sponsored by Associated Students. No admission will becharged. "I was able to keep admission free because I got a grant from the Activities Council andFACSEA," said Scott Castle, AS Films Coordinator. FACSEA, The Society for French AmericanCultural Services and Educational Aid, is a French consulate in New York that promotes French filmswhich might not normally be brought to a college campus. "A lot of people shy away from foreignfilms. But the fact that the admission will be free gives students a chance to try something new andsee how another culture views the world without spending any money," Castle said. "As far as foreignfilms are concerned, most students have only seen about three or four. But there is a whole world of films out there with different perspectives and points of view," Western French professor A scene from"Celestial Clockwork. Bob Balas said. "Many American blockbuster movies contain things to dazzle theeyes, but nothing to dazzle the mind. All the mystery is taken out of the movie so the audience knows what they are supposed to think. Questions are asked and explained," Balas said. "On the other hand,French films give the audience a chance to figure out who the characters are. Questions are askedwithout emotion from Jennet and Caro, the directors of "Delicatessen." This film tells the tale of an agingman who steals the happy dreams of young children. "It has huge sets, incredible visuals andcharacters that don't exist in nature," Castle said. Monday's film is "Breathless" (1960). Directed byJean-Luc Godard, the seminal figure of modernist cinema, "Breathless" is the landmark film of theFrench New Wave Cinema movement. Tuesday's film is "Grand Illusion" (1937). Directed by JeanRenoir, this anti-war classic is based on the true story of the escape of French soldiers from a Germanprison camp during World War I.

Western student Sarah Jeffers said, "French films deal more with feelings and emotions, and they are not so action oriented. They deal more withpeople than events." Five films will be shown, a different one each day, in French with English subtitles.Sunday's film is "The City of Lost Children" (1995), a mix of fantasy and Thursday's film is "I Can't Sleep" (1995), a psychological murder mystery directed by Claire Denis about a Slavic vagabond, a Frenchactress, a musician and his drag-queen brother. All films will show at 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday's film, "TheCity of Lost Children," will be shown in Arntzen Hall 100, and the next four films will all be shown inFraser Hall 4.

By Tim Klein The Western FrontWarren Miller has filmed dynamic ski stunts for 48 years but was not the first to make ski movies. In1938, Otto Lang's 12-minute "Ski Flight" played with Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," atthe Radio City Music Hall in New York. Born in 1908, Lang's first pair of skis were not Rossignol ViperXs; they were a pair of wooden World War I surplus skies he acquired for free through an advertisement in a local newspaper. . "When you see a skier today, it's like a knight in shining armor," Lang said.When he was U years old, his skis measured "two meters and 35 centimeters," too long for someone hisage. "We could not turn so we thought 'to the hell with it' and we just did jumps," he said. Lang spokeand read from his 460-page autobiography "A Bird of Passage" at Village Books Wednesday night. Hisbook pours out stories of countless adventures about life as a film maker, skier and traveler. Known asthe founding father of ski instruction in the United States, Lang made his way to Mount Rainier in the1930s where he opened up a ski school at Paradise Inn. He introduced the Arlberg technique, a style helearned apprenticing at the Arlberg Ski School at St. Anton in Austria. The method incorporates the snow plow to the stem turn and ultimately the parallel turn. "He is the pioneer of ski teaching, we owe a lot tohim," said Lenore Lyle, owner and director of Ski Masters Inc. A ski instructor meets a lot of influentialand powerful people, Lang said. Through his long-time friendship with Nelson Rockefeller, grandson of the founder of the Rockefeller dynasty, Lang was offered employment as the coordinator of the prestigiousSun Valley Ski School in 1941. Lang's Hollywood movie career started at Sun Valley. He instructedTwentieth Century Fox's chief executive Darryl F. Zanuck. "I taught him to ski and [Zanuck] taught mehow to make movies," Lang said. He became the technical adviser for the movie classic "Sun ValleySerenade" starring Sonja Henie. Lang went on to produce and direct more than half a dozen movies,documentaries and at least 100 television shows. He worked on "Call Northside 777," starring JimmyStewart and "Five Fingers," starring James Mason, with the help of Zanuck. "It has been a wonderful life,many ups and downs," Lang said in a Seattle Post-Intelligencer article. Lang earned four AcademyAward nominations for his documentaries featuring exotic regions like New Guinea, East Africa andNepal. Lang took his experience in the movies and ventured into producing and directing for televisionprograms. He worked on episodes of "Cheyenne," "The Rifleman," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and"Daktari." . A skier at heart, Lang stumbled onto film making and set the standard for ski cinema. Kneeproblems allow him to ski only when the sun is shining and the runs are groomed, but he still loves therush of racing down the mountain. "You know the feeling when you cut a track, and you're the first onedown ... It's a wonderful feeling," Lang said. Reconnection allows 'Dying Well' possible Boring book ofbeans has readers sawing logs By Kristen T. Paulson The Western Front Most would not see anexamination of death as a positive thing, but Dr. Ira Byock sees it as exactly that in his new book,"Dying Well." A fierce opponent of euthanasia, Byock sees an approaching death as a time to reconnectwith loved ones and with one's self. "Dying Well" argues that a good death is possible, and preferable, to euthanasia. By good death, Byock means one which repairs relationships, respects the integrity of thepatient, helps the dying to live as fully as possible and in as little pain as possible. In euthanasia, says Byock, the terminally ill are often robbed of the opportunity to make death a meaningful experience."Dying does not have to be agonizing. Physical suffering can always be alleviated," asserts Dr. Byock."(However) suffering among the dying in America is pervasive, and so much of it is unnecessary." "Ihave learned from my patients and their families a surprising truth about dying," writes Byock. "Thisstage of life holds remarkable possibilities ... when people are relatively comfortable and know thatthey are not going to be abandoned, they frequently find ways to strengthen bonds with people they loveand to create moments of profound meaning in their final passage." "Dying Well" is filled with personalstories of the dying. The stories represent a wide range of emotions of both the dying and those whoare left behind and offer incredible insight into the experience of death. "These stories are the onlysatisfying way I know of exploring the paradox that people can become stronger and more whole asphysical weakness becomes overwhelming and life itself wanes," writes Byock. Not until I read thisbook did I realize that my grandfather, who died of cancer last summer, tried to do exactly that:reconnect. My mother and he had never gotten along; he was her step-father, and she'd never gottenover the loss of her own father. It wasn't until those last few months, when they both knew that death was imminent, they made peace with one another. My family is not alone in this experience ofreconciliation â€” I f o u n d many stories like m i n e throughout this book. This is animportant and i n s p i r a - tional book on the experiences of those who are confronted with thereality of death. For anyone who has recently, or will be, dealing with the death of a loved one, this bookis a wonderful and thoughtful way of helping to reconcile yourself with their passing. Death needn't be ableak experience. As Byok writes, "The transition from life can be every bit as profound, intimate andprecious as the miracle of birth." By Kristen T. Paulson The Western Front Leah Hager Cohenexhaustively answers the question, "Where did this come from?" in her new book "Glass, Paper, Beans: Revelations on the Nature and Value of Ordinary Things." The only question she forgot to answer is,"Why should we care?" Cohen explains that she felt an extreme discon-necte. d-n e s s from her w o r l d and from t h e everyday objects she owns and uses. I n centuries past, she w o u l d h a v e made, or known who had made, nearly everything that she owned. Apparently, Cohen mourns the dayswhen women sat home spinning wool, making the yarn to weave cloth that they sewed their coats from.Personally, I like being able to go into any store in the country, find a coat that fits, hand the store somepaper and leave with my purchase. No animals to raise, no thimbles to buy. If that mearts I'mFront/Christopher Luczyk a thoroughly modern woman; thewsc b. Cohen begins by describing a momentin an average coffee shop, although for her it is an epiphany. Either that or some cheesy idea she cansell as a book. She's sitting there, reading the Boston Globe while drinking coffee from a glass thermalmug. She decides to spend the next few years of her life examining these objects in-depth. Of hersubject choice, she said, "It could have been about a shoelace, a nail clipper, jam, a postage stamp,garlic or an ice cube tray... All of these things are commodities, and they all contain storiesencompassing geography and time, supply and demand, raw materials and market forces and people. People with names." Honestly, I don't care about these people or their names even after reading aboutthem in minute detail. This painfully boring book is an attempt to reestablish a connection with theeveryday objects in our daily lives by tracing the history, value, origin and relativity of some veryimportant items in her life â€” coffee beans, newspaper and a glass coffee cup. She missed on herobjective with this book. Rather than make me wonder about the origin of ordinary things, it made meglad of my ignorance. I would rather not know about how a logger in Canada begins the chain from theforest to my doorstep with my newspaper. His trials and tribulations mean nothing more to me thanthose of the factory supervisor who lives alone in a shack with her wolf-dog. I understand what Cohenwas reaching for. With her huge amounts of research and her lofty vocabulary, she was trying to drawsome connection between our alienation of objects and our alienation of others. All she did, however, was show us that she probably liked composition classes in college. i ---------- Western Front - 1997 February 7 - Page 7 ---------- February 7. 1997 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Shakespeare alive in 'Cymbeline' By Riley Morton TheWestern Front You may be thinking, "Shakespeare? That guy is so damn boring! I can't understandmost of what he wrote! His language is so irrelevant today. William Shakespeare is just a pompous,dead, white male my high school English teachers made me read against my will." Shakespeareprobably deserves a second chance. If you have never had the chance to see a Shakepearean playactually performed, then here is the perfect opportunity. Western's Theater Arts Departmentpresents the final night of Shakespeare's "Cymbeline" 7:30 Friday, Feb. 7th in Performing Arts Center199. It is unfortunate that most students' first exposure to Shakespeare is reading him for class. TheBard's work, like all playwrites, was meant to be seen on a stage instead of a series of pages, heardinstead of read. Plays lose much of their emphasis when they lose the voices of actors interpreting thecharacters. "Cymbeline" is one of Shakespeare's least famous plays and for good reason. The play'sfirst half is painfully slow, and the characters are far less developed and interesting than in his betterplays. Still, "Cymbeline" retains some of those familiar Shakespearean characteristics: an estrangedcouple in love, a bet, lies, men in women's clothing. All of these promise that "Cymbeline" will do morethan hold the viewer's interest. Western's Performing Arts Department does a fantastic job producing"Cymbeline." Director Mark Grinolds uses music in an almost cinematic way, contrasting sombermusic with a violent battle during the excellently choreographed fight scene. An ensemble cast waschosen for "Cymbeline," using only 10 actors for over 20 different characters. "I wanted to use anensemble cast because I feel like it is really important for all the actors to feel like they are animportant part of each scene," said director Grinolds. The Theater Arts Department proves once again that its acting classes are well taught; the play is particularly well acted. Shane Bunda rivals Christopher Walken by portraying the evil Iachimo, and Heidi Caldwell puts an equal amount of powerful energy intoeach one of her five characters. Kristina Sutherland and Joe Osier sparkle as the lead couple, Imogenand Posthumus. Front/ Christopher Luczyk Posthumus, Joe Osier, knock sticks with Lachimo, ShaneBunda. PAC 199 was an interesting choice for the stage. The "Black Box" does not lend itself well to the elaborate stage that Shakespearean productions usually require. The costumes and props used werealso minimal. But this is Grinold's intention. The nearly bare stage lets the viewer get to the heart ofShakespeare. "The key to Shakespeare is finding the passion in the story," Grinolds said, "becauseShakespeare is passionate." This production of "Cymbeline" is definitely a feather in Grinold's hat. The undergraduate student chose to direct his own full-length play. "I wanted to do something different,something that I could put my stamp oh." "Cymbeline" is free and starts promptly at 7:30 p.m., but thewise viewer will arrive early to assure a seat. Heroin, red tape, comedy decorate 'Gridlock'd' DeceasedTupac Shakur demonstrates his acting talent in latest film By Nadja Kookesh The Western Front Whatdo you get when you have a black man, a white man and a bunch of red tape? You get the movie"Gridlock'd." "Gridlock'd" stars Tim Roth and Tupac Shakur. Stretch (Roth) and Spoon (Shakur) areconstantly tangled in red tape while trying to put themselves into rehabilitation. Director Vondie CurtisHall shows the bureaucracy as a bunch of government workers doing nothing to help anyone butthemselves. The movie chronicles one day in the life of an addict. This also happens to be the day theywant to kick the habit after taking Spoon's girlfriend, in critical condition from a drug overdose, to thehospital at the beginning of the movie. Everyone knows who Tupac Shakur is. Everyone has seen hisfast and short life displayed on television. The most you may have seen of him were his videos and hisproblems with the law. What you may not have seen is his superb acting ability. Shakur had a tendancyto play characters that were too close to his persona in previous movies such as "Above the Rim" and"Juice." However, in this film, you forget the persona of the actor and get enveloped in his portrayal of ayoung addict trying to get into the music business. His performance is believable and far different fromthe real life of Shakur. The film is excellent, Hall has the film flash back and forth between the presentand the night Spoon's girlfriend, Cookie, overdoses. In the flashbacks, the scene freezes and turns to ablack and white negative. This is helpful for knowing the proper chronology of events, because thefilm only shows her overdosing and after that you only see Spoon and Stretch. The film does not glorifyheroin, nor does it make one believe being high on heroin is fun. In fact, it shows to what extent anaddict will go to get high. In one scene, Shakur and Roth are sitting at a table shooting up while theirdead friend is in the next room. "Gridlock'd" has an eerie comedy to it. For instance, in one sceneSpoon and Stretch are trying to get off the streets and into a hospital. In order to do this, Stretch has tostab Spoon with a pocket knife dozens of times before making any lacerations. The whole audiencewas laughing at this scene. Similar scenes will have you laughing until you stomach hurts. Thechemistry between Roth and Shakur is excellent. They play off of each other as if they were best friendssince birth. They are together and toughing it out in every scene while cops chase them and drug lordstry to kill them. This movie is a great flick to see because it's about a gloomy subject that Roth andShakur make laughable and fun to watch.

Formed in 1986, Montreal Danse has gainedan international reputation for its ability to combine imaginative style and free spirit. The program beingfeatured is choreographer Jose Besprosvany's Ciudad de Hierro (City of Irons). Besprosvany, who hasbeen a choreographer since 1983, is noted for his "wonderful dynamic and organic quality," said theEdmonton Journal. Featuring original music by Hughes de Courson, Ciudad de Hierro includes variousinstruments that correspond with the dancers and their moves. "The most notable aspect of thisperformance is that Montreal Danse is actually doing a U.S. premier of their new work here at Western.This is rare for a university setting," Dale Hearth, assistant to the Cultural Affairs director, said. Thesecond work to be performed is choreographer Daniele Desnoyer of Canada's Les Yeux Troubles(Watery Eyes), with music by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Artistic director Kathy Casey and the Montreal Danse company will be available to meet with members of the audience for a special post-performance discussion. "No previous dance experience is necessary," said Casey. "In our workshops, having fun is the starting point. This is agreat opportunity to experience dance with people whose everyday life is dancing." Tickets for Ciudad deHierro are $20 for the general public", $18 for seniors and Western faculty and staff and $9 for allstudents and children. ---------- Western Front - 1997 February 7 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT Jm February 7. 1997 Gem-like season raises diamond hopes Fastpitchsquad sets sights on matching their 1996 title run By Aleesha Towns The Western Front Western'sdefending league champion fastpitch softball team is winding up for a season they hope will take them all the way to the NAIA National Tournament. The team won 26 of 47 games last year and swept the 1996Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference (PNWAC) championship in just three games. The Vikingwomen went on to compete at the regional tournament. "The good thing about regionals was that weplayed well, but lost to a team that, at that time, was better than us," Head Coach Art Phinney said. "Our job now is to make sure that no one is better than us this year. I feel like we can accomplish that."We're fairly confident in how far we can go. Our goal is nationals, and I think we can do it," catcherMegan McChesney said. First baseman Jamie Hlebechuk agrees with her teammate's high aspirations. "We were all young last year, and we didn't know what we were striving for," Hlebechuk said. "Now weknow what we can do and we can go out there." Phinney, who was named 1996 PNWAC Coach of theYear, said he hoped to avoid intensity lapses, which resulted in errors last season. "We played the lastcouple weeks of the season without doing that, and we'd like to go all year like that," Phinney said. Tenletter winners are returning to this year's squad, â€¢ including pitcher Alison Haukaas and outfielder Jen Brandolini, who were both all- PNWAC selections last year. Haukaas also has high expectations for the team in the coming season. "Our theme is position to leading the league in ERA (1.47),strikeouts (127), wins, and completed games (23). "She's a power pitcher who relies on her rise balland is very tough mentally," Phinney said. Brandolini, who Phinney calls a "prototypical leadoff hitter," is the foundation of. the outfield. Brandolini led the team with three hbmeruns, five triples, 28 runs scored and set a PNWAC record with 18 stolen bases last season. "She's a true c a t a l y s t , " Phinneysaid. "She can bunt for Our theme is 'Winners Take All' and if we w strive to be the best we a hit, or hitaway and hit a grand can be on the field, we slam and with believe that we can go to nationals her sPe e d ' i ts like a double or this year. â€”Alison Haukaas ^_ Â»gt;__ McChesney is Pitcher J^ Jf returningfor a third season triple when she's on first base." 'Winners Take AH' and if we strive to be the best wecan be on the field, we believe that we can go to nationals this year," Haukaas said. â€¢ Haukaas wasnamed 1996 PNWAC Pitcher of the Year and was the only Viking on the all-region team. Haukaasestablished herself quickly last season, moving from the No. 3-pitcher behind the plate. "She's improvedabout 150 percent every year. She went from about .200 as a freshmen to .293 last year and could go to .350 this season," Phinney said. "My hitting has been something I've been constantly working on since I got here. I improved quite a bit last year and I just want to continue that," McChesney said. Hlebechukwill be back this year on first base and is a likely candidate for cleanup hitter. "She struggled at the plate much of the season and still batted .321. It's mind-boggling what she could accomplish," Phinneysaid. "She could be a .400 hitter." Last season, she led the team with 21 RBIs and holds a school record with eight doubles and 10 stolen bases. "I definitely want to break my own record in that (RBIs),"Hlebechuk said. The remarkable thing about this program is it has achieved so much in so little time.The fastpitch program is only in its fourth year of existence at Western. Two years ago, the Vikings wonjust five games the entire season. Since then, the Vikings have dominated play in the PNWAC. TheVikings showed tremendous promise in winning last year's regular-season title. After last season'spositive performance, they have a great opportunity to take their play deeper into the playoffs andpossibly to the national tournament. With only one senior on the roster, the Vikings will definitely be aforce for years to come. The Vikings will begin their trek toward nationals in their season opener against Whitworth College March 1.

By Jed Palevich The Western Front Great shooting from the outside and gooddefense snapped a four-game losing streak for Viking's men's basketball, who got revenge for a lossLewis^ Clark State College pinned on them earlier this year. The Vikings throttled the Warriors by 24, in a 89- 65 victory Thursday night at Carver Gym. Western shot 51 percent for the game from behind thethree-point line. Freshman guard Jared Stevenson started the game off with a three-pointer, and neverlet up. Stevenson ended up scoring 24 points,- denf on fne court. 15 in the second half on 5- of-9shooting from behind the three-point line. "It was nice to see Jared shoot the way he did," said WesternHead Coach Brad Jackson. "Because he's been real consistent all year long." The catalyst for WesternThursday night was the defense. The Vikings shut down Lewis-Clark's big-man, senior center JeremiahWynott, who scorched Western for 39 points in their win in Lewiston. Wynott who played all but threeminutes, finished with only 12 points. "Tonight we played zone defense exclusively," junior forward DanDeBord said. The zone paid off as the Warriors shot only 41 percent from the field. Junior guard JimMattler hit four of six from three-point land and six of eight from the field. "Jimmy's been playing well allyear, but the last two or three weeks he's really picked it up," Jackson said. "When I come in, I really try to focus on defense," Mattler said. "I've been playing a lot better lately, and I've been feeling a lot more confident on the court." When I come itlf I Anofher'big part of the mix was junior center really try tofocus on Idris Orughu, who scored si d 10 points and collected efensegt; I've been playing a lot betterlately, and I've been feeling a lot more confirm Mattler Guard \2 rebounds. When asked if he felt thiswas payback for the game in Lewiston, Orughu smiled and said "I guess so." Western had fiveplayers in double figures. S t e v e n s o n , ; Orughu and Mattler poured in 16 points each. DeBordfinished with 12 and junior guard Dan Legard finished with 1.6 points. The indefinite suspension of seniorcenter Mike Chapman for academic reasons creates a gaping whole in the middle for the undersizedVikings. Chapman is the leading scorer and rebounder. -Orughu and his other frontcourt mates will haveto pick up the slack in the rebounding department. The Vikings now look forward to hosting CentralWashington University at 7 p.m. Saturday in Carver Gym.

The latestidea is to charge students for dropping classes. What's their motivation? Sen. Majority Leader DanMcDonald, R-Bellevue, sees this as a way of getting students to act more responsible and not denyaccess to students who can't get classes because of enrollment limits. This appears to be a good idea.Like most of you, I've not been able to get in many courses I've wanted. Let's face it, anyone who drops a class for whatever reason is robbing another individual of an opportunity. This is wrong and consequences should be administered. According to the Bellingham Herald, under McDonald's plan a student wouldbe charged for this action. Dropping a three-credit class would cost $730. Seem high? Well that doesseem awfully high and an unreasonable way to acheive lower class-drop rates. But there is a point to bemade here. People drop classes for different reasons; some good, some not. A death in the family orother traumatic experience (getting up every day at 7 a.m. is not traumatic) is a perfectly understandablereason. But most dropped courses would fall under other less excusable categories. The peopleabusing that priveledge should be penalized â€” people who drop a course because they don't want totaint their GPA with a D. They solve their personal problem by doing the wrong thing. This isn't good.Western's drop policy is a good one and administators say it has improved the problem since it wasintroduced in fall of 1992. But the problem is not fixed. This is where students should takeresponsibility. A class should only be taken if one intends to put forth the effort necessary to see thelight â€” or darkness for most â€” of finals week. We complain about classes being full, but must realizethe greater issue at hand: The actions of a few that affect the whole. It should be our responsibilty to self-regulate the issue of dropped classes. Don't abuse it. Don't over use it. If you do, you're just a punk.Christopher Luczyk, Photo editor The Western Front Editor: Amity D.

Front ad guidelines questioned;editor answers allegations Dear Editor, I write this letter in response to The Western Front's recentbreach of their advertisement guidelines when they inserted "Beyond The Wall" into the Jan. 28 issue.The guidelines state: "... an Advertisement Review Committee will be established. The committee willconsist of The Western Front editor, the publications manager, the business manager, and TheWestern Front adviser or other faculty member who can speak for the adviser in the adviser's absence."Unfortunately, I was not able to speak to the business manager (she didn't have time to talk) or thepublications manager. But I did have time to speak with the editor, Amity Smith, and the facultyadviser, Pete Steffens. Somehow neither one had seen the advertisement insert before publication. Iwonder why they didn't see the advertisement if there really is Editor's response Although The Frontsympathizes with Tretheway's cause, I must respond to the inaccuracies in her letter. â€” The Front'sbusiness manager, Teari Brown, offered to make an appointment to speak with Tretheway, whichTretheway refused to do. The Front does not have a publications manager. â€” The Front did not drop theClub Borneo account, we simply took "Bob" out of the advertisement. â€” The review committeeTretheway writes of has been in existence for at least 10 years â€” probably longer. Furthermore, thereview committee does not review every advertisement, only those considered by the advertisementdepartment to be "questionable." â€” The "Beyond The Wall" advertisement does meet The Front'sadvertising guidelines, and would not have been sent to the review committee. Furthermore, arbitrarilydropping an advertisement supposed to be an Advertisement Review Committee? Almost two years agoClub Borneo, Vancouver, British Columbia, advertised in The Western Front. Some students found thestereotype of the primitive Borneo man beckoning students to party at Club Borneo offensive. Afterstudent protests and demonstrations, The Front dropped the ad and tightened up the guidelines to avoidfuture offensive advertisement. The Advertisement Review Committee came into being just so thatmistake would never happen again. When The Western Front sold advertising space to "Beyond TheWall," The Western Front told its readers that it supported the products of "Beyond The Wall."Advertising is not covered under the First Amendment. Companies pay for advertising. Advertising canbe accepted or rejected by a newspaper. That's why established newspapers such as The WesternFront have guidelines. "As a newspaper serving the university community, The Western Front has anobligation to use fair and equitable procedures in accepting advertising that promotes political andsocial ideas," is just one of the guidelines facing the Advertisement Review Committee when they aresupposed to convene and either accept or reject a piece of advertisement. Why doesn't The WesternFront follow its own guidelines? In two years are they going to once again tell students that they made amistake, tighten their guidelines and tell us that they will never do it again? The Western Front must beaccountable for its actions. As students who subsidize The Western Front with our tuition, we deservean explanation. Samantha Tretheway Fairhaven would subject The Western Front to potentiallawsuits. â€” The Front states in every issue that The Front's opinion is not reflected in itsadvertisements. â€” Commercial advertising does have a qualified First Amendment protection, known asthe commercial speech doctrine. This doctrine first emerged from the U.S. Supreme Court in the mid ---------- Western Front - 1997 February 7 - Page 11 ---------- February 7. 1997 OPINIONS mmmmmmmmmmmmmem*'!* THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 Chooseyour favorite verdict SCOTT CASTLE If you w e r e n ' t happy with the first O.J. verdict, you now have two to choose from. One is crim-inal and one is civil. Both judge Simpson's involvement in themurders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The criminal trial found him innocent, but thecivil trial found him liable and is holding him financially responsible for $8.5 million. Being declaredinnocent by the court means he wasn't there, so how could he be held liable for their deaths? Whateverhappened to the constitutional protection against double jeopardy, being tried for the same crimetwice? One of the problems is the differing burden of proof in criminal and civil trials. In a criminal trial, the decision of the jury must be unanimous that the prosecution proved guilt beyond a reasonabledoubt. Every juror must believe the accused is 100 percent guilty. In a civil trial, however, there only hasto be a preponderance of evidence to establish a burden of proof. The only a 9-of-12 jury majority isneeded in a civil trial for a conclusive verdict of liability. Theoretically, the same jury hearing identicalevidence could find someone liable in the case, yet not be able to conclude that they are criminallyguilty of the crime. The mind set of the jury must also be considered. In a criminal trial they have thetask of dictating the outcome of a human being's life. In civil suits they are merely, issuingcompensatory damages. These civil trials have deep historical roots going back to the days whencriminal justice meant "just retribution" paid to the survivors for the dollar value of the life that had been taken. For many Americans this new O.J. verdict is a vindication of an earlier one they didn't agree with. It means that although he won't have to go to jail for what he "did," he will still have to pay. The revengetactic of trying someone twice for the same crime, despite the differences in punishment, is not the roadto justice, but rather a detour that violates an acquitted individual's rights of due process.PACKAGES ARE BASED O N DOUBLE occurANCY.

A bulletin outlining the work of the summer session has been published. The summer session will open Monday, June 4th, and continue until Fri-dal, July 27th. The daily program will provide opportunities for reviews, renewals of certificates, and advanced work for credit. The regular faculty of the Normal school will be employed with but few exceptions. Miss Gray, Mr. Philippi and Miss Sumner will not be with us this summer. Mr. Phil-ippi's work will be in charge of Mr. Epley, and Mr. Walter C. Kunce, of Ohio, will assist Mr. Hoppe in the oral expression department. Dr. Deer-wester is expected back for the summer session. Dr. Kirkpatrick will be here the first part of the term. Mr. Burnet will teach Spanish and South American history. An important feature of the summer -work will be a series of lectures by Professor O. H. Benson of the National Bureau of Education and by Professors W. S. Thornber and I. F. Newbill, of t h e Washington State College. Mr. Robert Krohn, of Portland, a specialist in playground Avork, has been secured for a series of lectures and demonstrations running through two weeks. Between S:35 and S:42, Tuesday morning, Dr. Kaylor was married to Dr. Edith H. Bramley, an old classmate. Dr. Bramley and Dr. Kaylor Avere laboratory partners during their four years' attendance at the Los Angeles College of Osteopathy. This partnership proved so successful that they determined to make it a life partnership. The Messenger wishes to extend its heartiest congratulations to them and to wish them a long and happy married life. "Sour Grapes, or Heredity and Marriage" Avas the subject of Mr. Ott's lecture Wednesday evening, April IS. "There is no law more fundamental than the laAv of heredity. It is the only means by which scientists can explain the fact that at one time there were living one hundred twenty famous artists in the Bach family." In this age, the most enlightened and most civilized of all ages "one person out of every hundred is a failure, one hundred sixty-five out of every thousand die before they are a year old, and four hundred fifty out of every thousand die before they are five years old. We do not knoAV hoAv to live sanely and under sanitary conditions. Children must be taught the practical things about the art of living." In comparing the progress of the school Avith the home Mr. Ott said, "the school is from tAvo to ten generations ahead." The home is not doing, its duty by the child and to the world. Children and adults are dosing and doctoring to cure some ill Avhich Continued on Page Eight.) HULSE TELLS US ABOUT HIS TRIP In assembly on Monday, April 23, Mr. Hulse told of his scouting trip through the state. He illustrated his talk Avith slides shoAving some of the schools he had visited. The primary purpose of Mr. Hulse's extended trip through the state Avas to get in touch Avith former students of this institution now teaching in the schools of Washington. It is the policy of the Bellingham State Normal to keep in touch Avith its students, and this policy is being commended by county and city superintendents throughout the state and by all others interested in education. The Avillingness on the part of the school to folloAv up its students after they go out to their Avork in the different communities, and to see what they are doing, proves that the school is genuinely interested in making better teachers. (Continued on Page Eight.) PLEASE THE STUDENTS The Hawaiian Quartet played to a large and appreciative audience at the Normal auditorium on Saturday evening, April 21. They played the guitar, ukulele, and violin, and sang several Hawaiian songs as well as some favorite American popular songs. One of the musicians played tAvo ukelele solos which shoAved that a great deal can be done with one of these little instruments. The parts of the program that Avere enjoyed most were the steel guitar pieces played by Mr. Joseph Kekuku. Mr. Kekuku is the originator of the steel method of guitar playing, and is conceded to be the Avorld's greatest solo guitarist. He played several selections and Avas encored again and again. He gave a beautiful interpretation of "My Rosary" on his instrument. The entertainment Saturday night Avas, perhaps, rather light, but it proved a pleasing diversion and Avas very much enjoyed by the students. The Lecture Course committee was fortunate in securing this number for the Normal. Calendar Monday, April 30, 1917. Assembly, Supt. Crumpacker, of Sedro-Woolley, will speak. 3:20.

Mr. Biffett has a reputation as a manual training expert, and his school at Fife is famous for the Avork done there along manual training lines. Miss Druse of our art department, taught handAVork in that school one day a Aveek last year. Mr. Briffet spoke very highly of Mr. Chute's work in manual training. He said that the coping saAv Avork done at the Normal is the finest that he has seen, especially in regard to finish. Wally Sutherland ex '14 visited school Friday Avith his superintendent and district superintendent, Mr. Briffett and Mr. Hopkins. We certainly Avere glad to see "Wally" and certainly glad to hear of his success. Miss Dessie Dunagan '15 in a letter recently received, says that she looks fonvard Avith eager anticipation to each copy of the Messenger. She is teaching at Pomeroy and says: "I am enjoying my school Avork very much and think that Ave have one of the best county superintendents and principals in the state." She sends greetings and best Avishes for a continuance of still greater success for the Bellingham Normal School. H. L. Hopkins, superintendent of Mr. Scudder moved this week from Enumclaw school, spent Friday with his home at 136 South Forest to 2500 us.

After the high school had walloped the visitors in seven innings, Normal took the field. Jessup, the first man to face Dishman, singled neatly to left. Barrett walked. Waege was an easy out and then Cook, Bremerton's clean up man, proceeded to do his duty by slamming the pellet out of the park. When the smoke cleared away three runs had crossed the plate. Shobert started for Normal and struck out. Rairdon walked and White struck out, Rairdon, in the meantime, stealing second. He scored on Wright's two-bagger to center. Wold bunted and was safe when the play came too late to catch Wright at third. On the next ball pitched Wold stole second. Both runners scored when Sitton slammed a single to left. Score, three all. At this time the heavens began to weep in earnest and the game was called. A good sized crowd braved the storm and came out to cheer the team.

"Let us tarry a while at the sign of the smile." The Cave Man did not dwell in a cave. He lived in a tent-like hut. He was very proud of his hut for it was the only one yet upon this earth. It was the product of his own mind and hand. In it he dwelt with his wife and child. One day when the Cave Man came home to dinner he found his wife had a mess of skunk cabbage which she had learned to prepare only that day from Mr. Moodie, who dispensed rare recipes for Nature's dainties from one Normal school. But Mrs. Cave Man had not put the right amount of seasoning in the skunk cabbage and her irate spouse picked the kettle up and threw it— yes, threw it through the wall of the hut, which left an irregular opening. The light came streaming in, for before this the only opening in the hut had been a tiny door. But that night a great wind came up and blew in the hole, scattering the Cave Man's Palmer Method papers all over the floor. "I'll fix that wind-hole," declared the irate man. Cave Man Junior was playing on the floor. He now looked up, pointed at the fissure and gleefully cried: "Wind o'. Wind o'." "Yes, window," cried the father; he picked up the glass top from the mahogany table and fastened it over the aperture. And thus was born the first window. —Author, Fay Peringer, Submitted by B.

And, indeed, anything else is unthinkable, when we remember the intrepid part women have ever played in Russia's cruel struggle for freedom. If women were left out, it would sadly dim the glory radiated by this immensely hope-inspiring world-event. "What a homecoming for the 73-year-old Siberian exile, Katherine Bresh-kovskaya, the beloved "little grandmother" of the Russian revolution, if she finds, not only the freedom and the right to propagate her ideas, but the freedom and the right to share in the building up and the control of the new democratic government in Russia, for which she has fought and suffered so long!

Did you know that this will be a seed year for cedars? Look closely on the ends of the cedar branches and there you will find many tiny baby cones just beginning to grow. Also you will see the late willow coming into bloom, the white alder, the vine and broad-leaf maple, elderberry, birch trees, wild goose berry, wild currant, Labrador tea, trillium and Johnny-jump-up. Among the conifers we found the hemlock, cedar, Douglas or red fir, spruce and the white fir. We counted the rings of a red fir and found that it was born in 1717, which would be four years after the Treaty of Utrecht was signed by France and England. Coming over the top of the hill we saw Toad Lake nestled among the trees. Here Inez Hounsell showed her art by building a fire of cedar bark with one match. Soon our coffee water was boiling but we discovered a tragedy had befallen us. The person who was to bring the coffee had failed to arrive. But it didn't take Lenora Hempel and Bstella Bradford long to get some from the nearest farm house and soon we were eating the weinies and lunch that had been prepared for twice our number. After supper we went scouting. Ask Elizabeth Egbert what the sensation is when one steps into a muskrat hole. Many were the toads and frogs we saw, some such tiny fellows. As soon as the sun went below the hill we had a concert and learned the difference bewteen the song of the toad and the song of the frog. Do you know the difference? On the way home we stopped at a farm house near the top of the hill. What do you suppose we found here? One of the most picturesque of old fashioned water wheels. Here we met a German woman in overalls who said: "I used to use my head in the old country the way you girls do but now it is hard work." The hard work seemed to agree with her for she was healthy and happy. In their barnyard we found one of the prettiest little water falls. Every once in awhile we stopped to exclaim about the bewutlful view. The bay and islands were wonderful in sunset and twilight from the top of the hill. When we came to the car we had a long wait. Ariel Ward tried to sweep the mud from our shoes, but it was too big a task. Miss Baker's shoes looked as though they never had been made of leather, so covered with mud were they. Ask Ariel how it feels to be sitting on a fence alone in the moonlight about twenty-five feet from the car when said car begins to move toward town!

She looked at the clock— The hands pointed to twelve. She shuddered and roused herself. How could it have got so late? She should have been in bed an hour and a half ago. She wondered how it had happened. Oh! now she had it: She had intended to read that chapter in the "Learning Process" only five times But she must have lost count And read it many more times than that. She could not remember. A few minutes, and she was ready for bed. She had turned out the light, put up the shade, and raised the window. She leaned far out over the window sill To get a deep breath of the sweet night air. Far below on her left lay the city. The lights gleamed softly, A light mistthung over the earth. Before her was Sehome Hill— Those were fir trees along the top Whose silhouette stood out so beautifully against the gray of the sky. The frogs sang in the pond near the foot of the hill. It had rained earlier in the evening And the air had in it that sweet smell which it has after a shower. How peaceful everything was! The spell of the midnight hour fell upon the girl. The thrill of a wild, ecstatic joy went through her frame She was alone with Nature (For all others were asleep) And it was midnight. But was she the only one awake at this midnight hour? Suddenly She caught sight of a light in the house across the street. The light went out just then And she heard the sound of a window being opened. Evidently there was another human being who was not yet asleep. The girl thought of that other one across the street— Perhaps she too had been reading that chapter in the "Learning Pro- Patronize Your Next Door Neighbor Our goods and prices are right.

The rooms were prettily decorated in blue and gold, the club colors and flowers. After a short business meeting in which the constitution was read and signed by all present, the following musical program was given: Piano solo, Beatrice Louttit; duet, Louise Buchanan and Louise Fraser; piano solo, by Marion Schofield. The rest of the evening was spent in playing games and at a late hour delightful refreshments were served. A very enjoyable evening was spent and the club plans to have a hike as soon as the weather permits. An Expression Digression. Mr. M. (delivering Lincoln's Gettysburg Address): "We are now engaged in a great Civil war—" Expression teacher (interrupting): "Put more expression into 'we are engaged'." THESPIANS HAVE HIGH J U S PROGRAM The evening of April 19th was quite a departure from the customary Thespian programs but exceedingly enjoyable and varied as to the "stunts" performed. Sixteen exceedingly black and shiney looking darkies with a very business-like-looking interlocutor took their places behind the footlights and in true minstrel style, to the accompaniment of piano, tambourine, the bones, rolled out several popular songs and also cracked the customary line of minstreu jokes with sufficient antics to produce a large show of merriment. It took much guessing to recognize Ab Hennes, Paul Thompson, Charles Leber, Philip Montag, El-wood Davis, John Miller and Reuben Wagner as the comedians. The Hula dance, by the dusky artist (alias "Ab") made quite a hit. "Turn backward, turn backward, oh time, in your flight!" and it did when Vera Currie and Marie Christiansen executed a clever little dance that might be entitled "Looking Backward." A quaint vocal solo, "Miss Maria," by Margaret Bressler, was greatly enjoyed. Two readings from Kipling, "Gunga Din" and "On the Road to Mandalay," given by Mr. Hoppe, were greatly appreciated. Cosby Jackson told an old Norse myth in a very pleasing manner, and Ruth Craig read most delightfully "Madam Gloria." "The Devoted Apple," a novel little song-story by Ruth Elander, was greatly enjoyed. Louise Buchanan, returning to her second childhood, gave "The Naughty Dolly" by Eugene Field. The club is planning on a very delightful open evening to be held in the auditorium the evening of May 4th. The program is to be a "Pageant of the Hours" and promises to be very effective. All clubs are invited to attend.

TO HAVE OUTING PRESENTS PLAY The Alkisiah girls made themselves known Arbor day, as singing their club song they marched down the stairs out to their assigned spot. A white trailing rose was planted which we hope all future Alkisiahs will take good care of, and also do their part in helping to beautify the campus. Last Thursday night the Alkisiahs were favored by Miss Willoughby who gave a very interesting talk on the History of the Modern Opera. Much interest was created in having some points concerning the music illustrated in the three musical numbers, "Procession of Knights," from "Parsifal," the quartet from "Rigoletto," and "Is It Thou," by Gorgaza. The greater part of the evening was given over to the first rehearsal of the Alkisiah play "Prunella," to be given May 12. The girls are all very enthusiastic over it and are in for good hard work the next three weeks. April 28, Miss Baker is going to take the girls for a week-end outing at her summer home on Lummi Island. All are looking forward to a very pleasant outing. A very clever playlet was staged by Miss Ormsby and Miss McCown and put on in assembly this week. Pupils selected from the training school were dressed to represent foods. As each entered he or she gave the good or bad qualities and the use of the food represented. STUDENTS WHAT do the advertisements in the Messenger mean to you?

On Friday evening, April 20, the Senior class of the Normal high school gave two plays, "Pymalion and Galatea," by Gilbert, and "A Proposal Under Difficulties," by Bangs. The scene of the first of these plays is in Greece, and the time two thousand years ago. The story is the well known story of Pymalion, the sculptor, and Galatea. The costumes were beautiful and effective and added greatly to the play. Kenneth Selby played the part of Pymalion, and Gertrude Kaufman played the part of Galatea, the statue who came to life. The other principal parts were played by Elmer Webster, as Crysos; Ernest Rairdon, as Leucippe; Emma Below, as Cynisca, Pymalion's wife; elen Van Horn, as Myrine, sister of Pymalion, and Clara Jensen, as Daphne, wife of Chrysos. The parts were all well played, and the play, as a whole, was very successful. The second of the plays was a farce which proved very amusing. The troubles of the two rival "proposers" and the attempts of each to dispose satisfactorily of the other, were very funny. Kenneth Tunstall took the part of one of the siutors, and Ernest Rairdon took the part of the rival suitor. Emily Nestund was Miss Dorothy Andrews, the fair maiden, whom both the young men wished to marry. The part of Jenny, the maid, was taken by Iva Larsen. This last part was carried out especially well by Miss Larsen, who wept and Availed in a most realistic manner. Much credit is due to Mrs. King, Mr. Bertram Foster and Mr. Hughes, who directed these plays.

The nine girls who went were Georginia Sharpless, Jean Almond, Hazel Mc- Clellan, Helen Hollinsted, Bessie Windley, Ruth Petite, Mary Donald, Clara Alinder and Alice Welch. They had a very cordial reception by the girls of Puget Sound College and were royally entertained by them during their stay there. A general reception and mixer was given in the Y. W. C.

Some of the most enthusiastic and helpful talks were given by Mrs. Stout and Mrs. Schofield, of Tacoma, and Mrs. Hillman and Miss Hopkins, of Seattle. One of the big features was the luncheon and rally for Seabeck, the home of the Northwestern Y. W. C. A. conference held each summer. The theme of the conference was, "The challenge of the Day of Christian Students." The spirit and inspiration received at the conference was brought back by the girls and given to us through their enthusiastic talks at our last Thursday meeting.

It would not seem less dignified, to me, for a cow to climb up some pedestal and crow, than it does for a noble looking creature like the donkey to go through all those physical contortions and follow them up by that loud, harsh and horrifying cry which we call a bray. A friend of mine who had traveled throughout Palestine, mostly on the backs of donkeys, had become well acquainted with the species and told me many interesting things about them. One reason why these animals had impressed themselves on his mind lastingly was because of the numerous physical shocks he had experienced while riding or trying to ride them on the rugged hills and mountains of that country; another was the many sleepless nights he had endured while listening to the musical (?) voices of the donkeys tied near the tent, wherever he and his fellow travelers camped for the .night. The donkey became one of his chief topics of conversation and on discussing it with his Eastern friends, some of the natives of the country, he learned many interesting and useful facts about it. Among other things, they told him how it happened that the donkey first started to bray, a story firmly believed in that country. I will repeat the tale to you as he told it to me. After Noah had prepared for the coming flood by building the ark, he sent word to the different animals to come to the ark on a certain day. They came as directed and, on being told about the approaching rain, all entered the a.rk as rapidly as they could, except the donkey. Noah politely urged him to go in but, exhibiting his usual trait of character, the donkey refused, saying, "Not much. I don't believe in any flood. I have walked on dry land so far and I expect to, hereafter." Noah closed the door and the donkey walked away. Soon the rain began to fall. It came down in torrents. The waters began to rise over the land and the donkey found it necessary to move to the higher places. But the rain continued and the water kept on rising so that it even covered the hills and low mountans. At last the, donkey had climbed to the very highest peak he could find. In a short time, however, the water had risen so that it reached this last retreat also. It rose Large Assortment of roses always on hand at Horst's Floral Shop 1309 Dock Phone 386 above his feet and the donkey became alarmed. After a while the poor, shivering beast stood in water up to his neck. By that time he was thoroughly frightened. How he wished that he were in the ark which he saw floating on the water at the distance! Finally, as he saw the ark coming towards him, but evidently, with the intention of going by, he stretched his forelegs towards it, reached out his nect as far as he could, raised his tail in his desperation to attract attention, and, in the depth of his despair, he gave vent to his agony in that one frantic cry for help, "No-o-o-ah!" Another thing my friend learned from those Eastern people, but too late to apply while in Palestine, was that you do not have to hear a donkey bray unless you want to. Take a short rope and fasten one end of it to the donkey's tail and the other to some object on the ground. After having gone through the usual performance of stretching out his forelegs and his neck and, on attempting to raise his tail discovers that he cannot, he is so taken by surprise that he forgets what he started out to say. After having experienced many times this hindrance to his power of expression, and having become speechless from surprise each time, he soon forgets his old habit and becomes a silent donkey.— H. C.

OWL PHARMACY ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 April 28 - Page 8 ---------- 8 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1917. Edward A. Ott Addresses Assembly (Continued From Page One.) should have been averted by right living. The object of a school is not to make scholars, not to turn out geniuses—this can never be, for geniuses are born—but to teach the people, the students, how to live, how to work and how to play. The evils of life arise in our hours of amusement. How necessary then that we learn how to play, how to fill profitably our spare time. We must lift our amusements up to the level of our ideals. "Vice and crime as well as virtue, run in families. Twelve hundred criminals have been found who sprang from the same family. In a part of New Jersey there have been six hundred criminals of the same kith and kin. The only way to empty the jails, to stamp out the great numbers of degenerates is to segregate the latter and let them die single and childless." "To stamp out the divorce evil an engagement should be announced ninety days previous to the wedding This allows time to investigate the health and morals of contracting parties. A certificate of normal health should be demanded and the parties concerned should have an education for domestic life. The art of living is the finest of all fine arts, and marriage is the greatest single event in life. With laws governing marriage and the care of degenerates, divorces could be cut down ninety per cent in one generation and degenerates decreased seventy-five per cent in three generations. He made a special plea for the use of the school houses as social centers, for community libraries in the schools, for the proper handling of the boy problem which is one of the greatest problems of the present day. It is first of all the parents' duty to provide a proper environment for the boy. While heredity is inevitable man has it wholly within his power to mold or create environment. Mr. Hulse tells of his trip (Continued From Page One.) Mr. Hulse spoke of the growing interest on the part of school boards and school patrons in the newer phases of school work, such as club work and supervised play. He showed slides to illustrate how these demands are being met even in the small, rural, one-teacher schools. Many of the smaller schools have separate buildings for the industrial work and play sheds and gymnasiums have been built in the smaller towns. "The school is widening its influence," said Mr. Hulse, "and community life is being emphasized more and more." Mr. Hulse showed several pictures of the school buildings in the larger towns and called attention to improvements in equipment everywhere. He spoke also of the special schools of the state such as the school for the deaf and dumb at Vancouver, the training school for boys at Chehalis, and the school for girls at Grand Mound. Teachers should know about what is being done at these schools, said Mr. Hulse; and he urged the students to visit these institutions whenever opportunity offers. A Lesson in Grammar. Grace's uncle met her on the street one spring day and asked her whether she was going out with a picnic party from her school. "No," replied his eight-year-old niece, "I ain't going."

Johnson, new physics and math instructor, gave forth with a brief resume' of his life. "I, originally, was from Canada,'' said the brown-haired instructor with a friendly smile, "where I taught at Wesley college in Winnipeg. From Wesley," he continued leaning back ever so slightly on the nearby bench, "I went to Stanford as an aaastant instructor and to do work on my doctor's degree." After obtaining his degree, Dr. Johnson traveled to Virginia where he did more chemical research. "We were 40 miles from trie nearest town," he . explained, "quite different from my next position in New Jersey, where I was a developmental engineer for Western Electric." Contrary to today's trend, Dr. Johnson left a defense industry for teacfiing."

Blaine's explanation is, "Aw, gee, fellas, it makes me look old enough to buy a drink anywhere." This week's reporter—Bill Hatch. • DANIELS HALL—An enormous whistle breaks the silence. No, it isn't the Bellingham air-raid alarm, its just one of the boys at Daniels Den trying to become acuainted with a by-passing coed of WWC. We, of Daniels hall aren't all like that; only a great majority." But, of course, this ifem isrsupposed to contain the up-to-date news of our family-like gathering. So let us commence. Morrie Wright,.our gridiron Romeo, receives an almost nightly long-distance call from Longview. Could it be because his home-town gal works in a telephone office? What good looking, golden voiced tenor, from Daniels, spent all day Sunday visiting the girls at Harborview. We could say that his name is Jake Jacobson, but we wouldn't dare do that. Jack Krueger's night life isn't doing his heart any good.—Barnyard Barnhill, that massive mess of muscle, will soon be running Daniels hall if he keeps up his luck in that great game—poker.—Amber Daniels received letters from two of her former boys this week. Namely, Jerry Connell, and Aleck Mitchell, both of the Army Air corps. We are glad to hear that they both are doing fine. We will call it thirty for now—so, if you should happen to see Les Frisk escorting a black eye and a broken arm, you'll know he wasn't hurt in football practice, he merely got caught in the rush for "chow" at Daniels. 'Reporter for this week—Don Packard. • • HOSPICE INN—Tuesday evening at 9:30 in Hospice Inn President Bill Wilder stood before an assembly of 24 fine looking students of WWC. Ralph BurgesSj football hero, was late so the boys were entertained with a Hula Hula dance, accompanied by that one-fingered virtuoso of the piano, Harry Michael Tokos.' Officers elected are Don (scholar) Neal, social chairman; and Howard Wright, reporter. Bowling and basketball were discussed, and with Ed Prince, bowling captain, and Rich Wittren, basketball captain, we do not expect to be a cellar candidate this year. The question of answering the telephone was brought up. Bill Wilder's quotation took the cake. (These Hospice boys certainly are mysterious. Or are they scared to state the quotation?).—Editor. Hospice men are hashing over the possibilities of a dance to be sponsored by and for them. Piatt, McGee In New Offices • Room 204, the old English office, has been converted into Science offices occupied by Miss Ruth E. Piatt and Miss Margaret McGee.

"I tried to enlist last December," he continued, "but my glasses kept me out. However, the draft board doesn't seem to be so particular, or perhaps the restrictions have been lowered." He leaned his slightly built frame more comfortably against the wall and.went on, "I hope to be assigned to the public relations department of the army. My studies here at WWC, journalism, radio, and political science, have been along that line, as well as my work this summer as a shipping clerk at the Bellingham Iron Works." "As you probably know, I'm getting married Friday," he said, lighting a cigarette. "I'm driving to Vancouver, where the ceremony will take place tonight, and will report for induction there on Monday morning. The wedding was originally scheduled for next month but we moved it up when I received my induction papers." "I'll be sent to Fort Lewis for three or four days and then shipped out to places unknown for my training. My wife will remain at Vancouver, where she has a teaching position." Eric is marrying Miss Margarthe Schilke, WWC 1942 graduate. College Contacts Keep Track of Former Students • Dr. E. A.

Daniels hall, Hospice inn, Edwards hall, and Bennestrom's have entered teams with the possibility that Daniels and Hospice inn may enter two teams apiece. Play starts Monday, October 12, with games at four and five o'clock. Games will be* played daily except Thursday. Two rounds will be played with the season winding up in the middle of November to leave the floor free for varsity turnouts. The services of Ernie Ludwick and Nat: Richardson have been secured as referees. These Pilots Face Viks Saturday I ers Start Rolling Bowling is still in the tentative stage. Warren Beecroft, WWGol-legian sports editor, is in charge of all arrangements.' Games probably wiH; be scheduled for Thursday so that-they will not interfere with basketball. At least eight teams are being sought for the league. Prospective bowlers are .asked to meet in the room'off the pool Monday, Oct 12. Be sure to have a list of team members and the name you will play under. Charlie Bkknell (left), former mayor of Boy's Town, who fills one of the halfback slots, and Stan Loprinzi (right), veteran iackle, are two of the boys the Viks will have to keep an eye. on .in Saturday's contest,. enlin es ith warren beecroft Out of the raucous hubbub of Bellingham's numerous arm-chair, quarter backs', emerged one-outstanding, undeniable fact—a fact which had been proved under a "baptism of fire," during last Saturday's Cheney-Viking battle.- This all-important fact is that Lappy's 1942 Viking eleven have »it"_-"it" being the unknown quantity that distinguishes between just eleven men in football uniforms each playing the game as a one-man team and eleven men working together as one smoothly integrated unit. Lappy's «^grid machine unquestionably proved itself to be of latter caliber The Vik line was out-weighed but that didn't phase them the least. Time and again during those hectic sixty minutes the under-sized Western forward wall out-charged and out-blocked their larger opponents. Ample proof of this is evident in the box score which showed the Vikings with eleven first downs to Cheney's six. ' . - . ' • • Portland's potent Pilots will roll into town on the 1,1 :30 train tomorrow morning and with them they'll bring one of the most powerful and colorful eleven in the Pacific northwest. Fresh from smothering Pacific university 4r gt;0 and Willamette 34-13, the Pilots will be out to add the Viking's toupe to their heavily ladened scalp belt. Last year Lappys squad squelched "Matty" MatheWs' men when they battled Portland to a 6-6 fle. The Pilot score came in the closing minutes of the-game on a seventy-three yard pass completion. • Injuries began cropping up in the ranks of both teams earlier this week. Portland was hard hit by the loss of their big, blonde guard, Art Carlson. Carlson was the boy who recovered a Willamette fumble and galloped 87 yards for a touchdown... A serious arm injury will keep this big sophomore out of the Pilot line-up for a long time. Harry "Jumbo" Toltz is being groomed for Carlson's berth... Incidentally Carlstrom weighed 310 poupnds, understudy Toltz totes around a mean 240 pounds and is built close to the ground. ' Injuries "triple threatened" the Viking line-up with trio of Doug Monroe, Don NeaL and Bill Brown hugging the bench for most of this week. Neal's shoulder defiintely will keep him out'of the Portland tussle... Monroe has been battling the flu bug with no decision being reached to date. Brown was injured in last Saturday's game... His condition is still doubtful. Western Washington ground the Pilots to a standstill in. their battle last year. Let's all be there to watch the Vikings push them back this year.

"He's the greatest back I've seen around these parts in many a moon," says Stub Nelson, of the Los Angeles Post-Record. Brown Out The Vikings came through their bruising Cheney tussle with only one bad injury, that to Bill Brown, ace plunging fullback. Brown's possibility of starting against the Pilots is slim. He will' be sorely missed, as he tangled with the Portland eleven twice last year while playing for Ganzaga and is familiar with the Pilot style. Viks Brush Pp Monday of this' week Coach Charles Lappenbusch went to work on the Viking's passing and tackling, only weak spot in the Savage game. "Lappy" also began the hunt for a fullback with both Ed Muscitt and Prank Zurline being groomed for this position. Portland's dazzling wide open brand of ball plus the three Bel-lingham luminaries in the line-up, together with the fact that the Vikings now have one -game under their belt, " will make tomorrow's game one of the most colorful of the. season.

Breaking away in third quarter, Perrault • ran all the way from his own twenty-yard line to cross the Viking goal for the only tally of the season's opener at Battersby field. The try for point went to the left. Viks Stalled Although the Vikings made a powerful drive immediately after receiving the ball on the opening kickoff, they failed to carry the ball farther than the Cheney nine-yard stripe where, after four unsuccessful atttempts to crc«s their opponents' goal, the EWG boys took possession of the pigskin. Only once again in the contest did thelprest-ern squad get deep into pay dirt, but again they were stopped short, this time on the eleven-yard hne. Newcomers Shine Another highlight of the battle was the fine defensive play by both teams. In this -respect mention must be given to Moose Zurline, Ralph Burgess, Morrie Wright, and Doug Monroe of our Vikings, and Killen and Lolos of the invading Savage team. Little Ken Schroeder and Lowell Doud should not be forgotten as sparkhigT*the Vikings in their valiant effort in combating, the Savage blitzkreig.

Frosh Survives Picture Clash • .Tired and worn-looking; the tall man doggedly climbed the four remaining steps and looked about him—only one man and a small child had watched him enter and now they were surveying him curiously. A cold chill ran down his spine but he bravely threw back his shoulders and said to himself, "I've got to go through with it—I've just got to." His eyes flashed with determination and his step was the same as he walked into the center of the room where the two people were waiting. The bright lights seemed to get hotter and hotter as he stood there and he could feel the prspiratioft standing out on his forehead. He then nervously offered the other man a card which he had been holding in his moist hand. The , other man took it gently and beckoned for him to sit down. The yellow, glaring lights seemed to penetrate his whole body—"Why doesn't he get it over with, why doesn't he hurry?" He gripped the chair tightly with his fingernails and a million thoughts ran through his mind in that split second—the black instrument was pointed at him—a hollow click sounded—he tried to get to his feet but just then he collapsed in a rumpled heap! As they dragged' liinV to his feet they heard him murmuring to himself, "Thank goodness it's over at last! It's over!

"Don't put thfe outside reading off until a convenient future date," is H. R.

The AWS'.-'will have you working on a committee for their coming party, the Norsemen will want your help in planning the skit for their next assembly, or a theme in history will take up your extra time." Mr. Hearsey also advises not to wait to read the things you've always wanted to until you get into "the outside world because society and duty will be, to your surprise, an even more profound nature then. Perhaps our task will be in the way of club speeches or maybe merely the entertaining of guests, but whatever the Ibrm, they'll always be plentiful enough to waylay your planned reading explorations. Start right this quarter by reading at least one book a month (most students can manage even more than one) about something aside from your routine studies. Read to broaden your knowledge, to increase your interests, or for pure relaxation. Your reading outside will be in collaboration with your college course.

"I'm already in debt a lot and I'm trying to get out of here soon," Bryan said. "I don't want to get into more debt." Western's Washington Student Lobby sponsored an informational rally in the Viking Union Wednesday to raise student awareness of the possible tuition increase next year and its direct impact on their lives, said Mandy Feutz, chapter chair for Western's WSL. Gov. Gary Locke's budget proposal would cut five percent of state funding from Western's budget. To help the administration overcome the gap this would cause in the school's budget, Locke has also proposed the control of tuition increases be moved out of the hands of state See TUITION, Page 4 Dian McClurg/ The Western Front WSL member and junior Sandy Suarez (right) talks with students at the WSL's tuition-raising awareness rally in the Viking Union, while senior Rassamee Bryan (left) writes a personal message to state legislators about how a tuition increase would affect her. Planned parking garage requires additional funding By Josh Haupt THE WESTERN FRONT The costly parking meter system recently acquired by Western in an effort to fund a future parking garage, will apparently not provide sufficient funds for construction, said University Police Chief Jim Shaw. The eleven meters, purchased from the Canadian Lexis Corp., total $150,000. The cost is being spread during a four-year debt service payment plan, Shaw said. "These weren't cheap," he said. Once the debt service is paid each year, Western plans to put any extra money into a parking fund, he said. "It's a real wild guess, but somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000 a year past the debt service," Shaw said, He said parking services will not know exactly how much they are making on the meters . until approximately a year from now. "We would probably need a full cycle of a school year before we could accurately gauge the money being made from the meters," Shaw said. Shaw said the parking fund's only purpose is to help fund a parking garage, even though the university has not figured out specifically where the rest of the funding will come from. "We haven't zeroed in on specific type of funding yet," he said. "Bonding is probably the more traditional approach, but there are also several different federal groups," Shaw said. He said the average cost to â€¢construct a parking garage is somewhere between $11,000 and $15,000 per parking space. "We may be able to do some things that would cut that cost," he said. The city of Bellingham's Director of Parking Rick Decker said the price per garage parking space can fluctuate between $12,000 and $28,000. While $15,000 per space is currently the average, those figures are increasing, Decker said.

By Matt Black THE WESTERN FRONT While students party this weekend, Western junior LesLee Bickford will spend her time helping others. Bickford is part of a group of Western students, led by Ridgeway Kappa dormitory's hall council, that is sewing quilts to donate to children who lost a parent in the Sept. 11 tragedies. The students are working as part of the nationwide project Comfort Quilts: Piecing Together the American Families. The national goal for the organization is 15,000 quilts. Western's group hopes to contribute 30 by the end of March. "It's awesome to do something where we can really help," said Bickford, a resident advisor for the Kappa dormitory. Bickford said members of her dorm have been looking for a community service project since the beginning of the school year and making quilts seemed the best way to help. "Most of us are broke so we can't give money, but through this, we donate our time and our hearts," she said. "This project shows the community that on weekends, lots of Western students aren't getting drunk; they're doing service projects," said Pat Fabiano, Prevention and Wellness Services director. Fabiano served as a member of the Healthy Campus 2002 board, which gave the council a $500 grant to help cover the costs of the project. Additionally, the council received a " $300 donation from Fairhaven College to help cover the costs for supplies... To raise additional funds, group members are selling $1 quilt squares at various places around campus. Students who purchase the squares can decorate and personalize them before they are sewn onto the quilt. Besides buying squares for the quilt, students can help in the production of the quilt. "Quilting parties" will be held Friday, Feb. 8 at 10 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 9 at 8 p.m. Both parties will meet in the Kappa lounge. Brett Martin, activities coordinator for the hall council, said response to the project has been overwhelmingly positive. "It feels great to be doing this," he said. "Everyone has taken an interest ancKjye have really gotten things rolling." University GUR transfer problems may lessen By Joe Mack THE WESTERN FRONT The Academic Coordinating Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to implement a direct transfer agreement for students coming from other major universities in the state. As it stands now, students transferring between .the six major universities in the state are required to meet the general university requirements of their former university as well as additional GURs at Western. The ACC is the acting committee regarding university curriculum and was the first to see the proposal. "The logic is that we should try to apply this to intra four-year colleges," said Andrew Bodman, Western provost and vice president for student affairs. The basis of the direct transfer agreement (DTA) is that a sending university, i.e. the University of Washington, certifies a student has satisfied its own GURs, usually after the sophomore year. The receiving university, such as Western, honors that student's completion of those credits. The DTA would be similar to the one already in existence for transfer students coming from Washington state community colleges. Once transfer students from community college have reached 90 credits and have earned their Associates of Arts and Sciences degree, the university accepts that students have satisfied their GURs. The baccalaureate DTA would be different because the transfer would not depend on a specified amount of credit hours, but See GURS, Page 4 IN THIS ISSUE Western's local coaching legacy Western junior Jodi Gerdts and former Western student Jessica Lingo coach elementary school girl's basketball in Bellingham.

A truck backed into the 9-foot-tall bronze "big mitt" sculpture. Construction workers wrapped the dent in tape and put up a sign that said it is on injured reserve. The thumb will be cut off, repaired and reattached. Artist Gerard Tsutakawa said the damage was merely a "sprain." He suggested leaving the sculpture in place with an Ace Bandage on the thumb, but the Mariners disliked the idea. Doctors reattach hand A Federal Way man, who accidentally cut off his right hand on board a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, is recovering at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Doctors reattached the hand Friday. The operation was unusual because the hand had been detached for more than 24 hours. A clean cut, plenty of ice and luck may give Patrick Laula partial use of his hand. Laulu was picked up by a Coast Guard helicopter and flown nearly 500 miles over open seas to Adak, Alaska. From there, he was flown to a hospital in Anchorage and then to Seattle.

"They would describe depression like 'the blood is running through my veins really fast and hot' or 'my head feels like it's vibrating,'" Jack said. "Rather than talking in emotional terms, they talk more in concrete physical symptoms." Jack received the opportunity to do exploratory research in Nepal while teaching there from fall 2000 to July 2001. She said she was interested in seeing how western concepts of depression are used by Nepali psychiatrists. To do this, she surveyed 109 men and 101 women (all university students) about depression. She also included 10 in-depth case studies in her research. Ron Riggins, acting dean of Fairhaven College, said he "is excited about Jack's research. "Her work is exciting because it is leading-edge research with regard to women's depression, and she's taking it into an international arena," Riggins said. "She's applying her concepts to other cultures with the understanding that no one model Works for all cultures," he said. Riggins said he is most excited about the contacts and relationships Jack developed in Nepal. "The work that (Jack) is doing is cross-cultural studies, which creates new avenues of exploration, contact and information for Fairhaven students," he said. "The opportunity to continually research Nepal is just beginning. A lot can come of this." Jack said she also hopes to do more with her research. She said she hopes both Western and Nepal cultures to benefit from her data. "If you change a cultural context, how people feel or experience the distress also changes," Jack said. "Then we can hope to find what is making people so distressed in our culture and in Nepal's culture." Currently Jack is having some Fairhaven students "code" the collected research data and interviews. "Coding" is the process of assigning designated codes to transcribed interviews. This enables the researcher to easily spot patterns and recognize occurrences of similar responses, like "hurt" or "anger." Western junior Courtney Laws said she volunteered to help code the research because of her interest in health in the context of culture. "(Jack's) research is really interesting because it looks at the influence of culture on women," Laws said. "(Jack) asks a lot of profound questions involving how depression is thought of." "Her work is exciting because it is leading-edge research with regard to women's depression, and she's taking it into an inter- national arena." Ron Riggins Fairhaven College acting dean The undergraduates will code the research data this quarter, and statistical analysis will occur next quarter. Jack said she hopes to present her results at a conference this fall in Turkey. "Hopefully the work will go back into a bigger dialogue in the U.S. and in Nepal too," Jack said. "By then I hope to finish analyzing the research data and collab- photos courtesy of Dana Jack Dana Jack attends the Internal Women's Day March with Women's Studies students. orate with Nepali researchers on depression studies." Jack's research and teaching in Nepal was funded by the Fulbright program and is partially funded by the State Department. The Fulbright program sends American scholars throughout the world, and brings scholars from abroad to the United States. Although Jack will write research articles as a result of her time in Nepal, she she is uncertain whether she will write a book on the subject. Jack said she intends to return to, Nepal this summer. In the meantime, Jack strives to learn more about Nepal. "You cannot say 'this is what Nepal is like,"' she said. "We got to know Westerners and Americans, who got to work there for 20 or 30 years, who said 'the longer I work here, the less I know about Nepal."' Western professor Dana Jack and her husband, Rand, enjoy the view on an unnamed mountain range near Manang, Nepal. "We went all over Nepal because you can't tell what the country is really like by staying in the capital city,"Jack said.

Arai-Jackson, the Seattle architectural firm performing the initial cost analysis for the parking garage, was unavailable for comment. Shaw said the analysis study would then be presented before the board of trustees, who would in turn have to give their approval for a more in-depth feasibility study. "It's never over until it's approved," Shaw said. Students who used to park on campus at night and on weekends for free are not exactly thrilled about the addition of the meters. Western . senior Bart Hawkinson received a ticket shortly after the addition of the meters. "It was $20 and it pisses me off," Hawkinson said Hawkinson said he also does not appreciate the 50 cents per hour cost of the meters. "God forbid you have to spend more than an hour in the computer lab at night," Hawkinson said. Western junior John Slater agrees with Hawkinson's point of view. "I already got two tickets," Slater said. "I think that building a parking lot for Students, then charging people to park there is the biggest racket in the world." The parking meters may be unpopular with students but they recover costs for the university, said Director of Marketing for Lexis Corp., Charles Tremewem. "The user pays," Tremewem said. "Sometimes it's a drag, but you have to recover those costs somewhere." Candace Nelson/ The Western Front Western senior Ben Gaskill pays for parking in a parking lot near the Performing Arts Center. Gaskill says it's annoying to keep feeding the meter while studying. Student lobby plans Presidents Day weekend Olympia trip to persuade legislators From TUITION, Page 1 legislators and into the hands of Western's Board of Trustees. Wednesday's student lobby rally also aimed to let students know they can have a voice in the debate over legislative issues, Feutz said. The WSL plans to take a group of students to Olympia for Viking Days on Presidents Day weekend. The students will distribute the personal messages written during Wednesday's rally to legislators. The messages were written on the back of slips of paper that read: "Here's our 2 cents. Please accept this gift from a Western Washington University student. If tuition increases, this is all we'll have to give." The student lobby is not the only group on campus interested in the repercussions of such major policy changes in the legislature. Student government wants to know how this allocation of power and potential tuition increase will affect students, Associate Students president Corey Eichner said. Eichner said the AS is also concerned about how the Board of Trustees would be held accountable for decisions made about tuition increases. Western's administration and the Board of Trustees wants to know how the budget proposal will change the status of state support for higher education, he said. A tuition increase is a short-term solution to a long-term problem, said Bob Edie, vice president for external affairs. "We're in favor of local control and flexibility over financial affairs at the university," Edie said. "But we think that focusing exclusively on tuition is putting the cart before the horse." Western only gets one-third of its funding from tuition, he said. The Board of Trustees is concerned about the other two-thirds that come from state funding. Freedom to set tuition rates higher on a temporary basis, which the governor is proposing, would set dangerous trends for future decisions of the same nature, Eichner said. Eichner plans to present an impact statement to the Board of Trustees Friday on the effect of tuition increases on students. His research shows that tuition has increased 80 percent in the last 10 years under legislative authority. In those 10 years the burden for paying for school has shifted from the state to the students. "This is the first time since 1996 that increases in the public sector, on average, have outpaced those in the private sector," Eichner noted, quoting an Oct. 24, 2001 article in the Education Chronicle. Local control of tuition is already in place in 40 other states, and their respective legislatures watch the boards very carefully, Edie said. "I think that we have a pretty good relationship with students and I think the board would handle it responsibly," he said. Edie also said the proposal would be a major policy change. The legislature might agree to the changes on a one-year basis right now, he said. Eide added they are interested in a short-term fix for the budget deficit. GUR agreement makes 4-year school transfers easier From GURS, Page 1 instead the certification from the sending university that the student has satisfied their specified GURs. Western junior Jeanne Allen wishes something similar had been in place when she transferred from UW in fall 2001. Allen was close to completing her GURs at UW, but when she transferred to Western she was told she had to complete several more classes to fulfill her GURs. "Something like that would be great," Allen said. "(Transferring) kind of made me want to go back to UW where I was a lot closer to finishing," Allen added. "I didn't want to have to take a lot of classes I didn't plan on taking." The proposal came after a Dec. 20 meeting of the Inter- Institutional Consortium of Academic Officers in Olympia. In the meeting, the six provosts of the universities agreed to push for such an agreement from their respective Faculty Senates to ease the in- state transfers' admissions process. The proposed DTA would have minimal effects on Western's admissions. In 2001, Western welcomed a mere 19 transfer students, from other in-state universities, while in contrast, 100 students from Western transferred elsewhere. The proposal raises the question whether this new DTA is worth the time it will take for implementation. "The question is, do transfers gain more if credit evaluators spend time with the completed transfer GURs or if staff spends their time with their GURs here at Western?" Director of Admissions Karen Gopetas asked before the meeting. When discussed at the ACC meeting Tuesday, the controversy was centered on whether it was in Western's best interest to spend extra time evaluating transfer credit. "It's either all (the credit) or nothing," said ACC Chair and finance marketing decision sciences professor Steve Ross at the meeting. Bodman is pushing for the plan because it would help to level the playing field for students coming from baccalaureate institutions and those who are coming from community college with their associate's degrees. The proposal will be given to the Faculty Senate for a vote.

Foy said the plumbing system in the bathroom adjoining his dorm room makes using to the bathroom unpleasant. "Our drain clogs repeatedly, about once every two weeks, if we're lucky," Foy said. In order to address the complaints of students such as Foy, the office of university residences plans to remodel Highland Hall this summer. The remodeling will focus on upgrading the mechanical and plumbing systems for the buildings, increasing electrical service to the dorm rooms and replacing some of the furniture, said Willy Hart, associate director of University Residences for Facilities. Foy said he is dissatisfied with the electrical systems installed in his dorm room. "There's a lack of outlets," he said. "We have to unplug one thing to plug something else in. It's a hassle." Other students expressed displeasure regarding the heating systems in Highland Hall. "The heaters are on the desks," Western freshman Jaimie Francis said. "That's the problem because they take up desk space and are next to the window." Hart said Highland Hall stack two remodeling will be finished by fall quarter 2002. Renovation on the remaining Highland Hall stacks will continue during the 2002-2003 school year. "It's tough to do $3 million worth of work in 12 weeks," Hart said. Highland Hall was built in 1960.

Western's Winter Career Fair provides students with jobs, internships By Tyler Hendrick THE WESTERN FRONT While attending the career fair in spring 2000, Western graduate Tammy Johnson found a job at Target. "Be open; don't sell yourself short," Johnson said. "Look at different companies." Career Services Center is hosting another career fair Feb. 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Viking Union multipurpose room. Approximately 50 employers will be at the fair looking for employees and interns, Anderson said. Large companies, including Boeing and Safeway, will have representatives, as well as smaller companies, including Wells Fargo and Alpha Technologies, she said. "The career fair is not just for seniors looking for a job," said Susan Anderson, employer outreach specialist for the Career Services Center. "It is also a good place for students who do not know what they want to major in to look at different careers." There are fewer companies attending this year compared to previous quarters because of the nation's economic slow-down, Anderson said. "The number of companies is down," she said. "I think it is a reflection of the job market," she said. "The job market has tightened up, but there are still plenty of employers hiring." Target, one company attending the fair, has not laid off workers. "We have, not cut back our jobs," said Thorn Richter, store manager of the Bellingham Target. "Target will be opening 500 new stores by 2010." .

Tammy Johnson Western graduate In order to get these jobs, students cannot just attend the career fair; they must be prepared when they go, Anderson said. To prepare for the fair, Anderson suggested students should research the companies that interest them. She also said students should dress in a business casual fashion, bring 15-20 copies of a resume and a notepad to write down names and information so follow-ups can be made. The Career Services Center is offering a workshop on Feb. 12 called "Preparing For A Career Fair." They can also give mock interviews and assist in writing resumes. Johnson said questioning companies is an important part of finding a job at the career fair. "If there is something you are looking for in a company, don't be afraid to ask," she said. "Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Most of the people will be able to answer your questions." Preparing for and attending the winter career fair gives students, like Johnson, more career options, Anderson said. "At almost every career fair we have ever had there are at least two people that are there with their companies that found their job at the career fair," she said.

By Dian McClurg THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Andrea Gamboa said her grandfather came to America from Mexico to make a better life for his family. "For him, who he was was so incredibly important," Gamboa said. "And for me, it's important that I don't forget that because that's part of who I am." Gamboa said she wants to see more recognition for the contributions that Latino people bring to the history and society of America. In Bellingham, the Whatcom Museum of History and Art has tried to develop and celebrate local interest in the Latino culture by hosting a Hispanic Cultural Celebration running from Jan. 17 through May 4. "I think what they're doing is extremely valuable," Gamboa said of the museum's efforts. "You so rarely get public institutions doing things to recognize the importance of the Latino culture in this country. People are finally beginning to pay attention." Bellingham is paying attention. Bellingham residents Robert and Kristin Campbell took their three daughters to a Latino Cultural Fiesta at the museum on Saturday. "I like the food and the pifiata," 7-year- old K.C. Campbell said. K.C. is studying Spanish with her second grade class at Larrabee Elementary School. Her Spanish teacher informed parents of the celebration. "She said it would be a chance for learn about the (Latino) culture and her Spanish," Kristin said. â€” This interest in educating and expâ„¢ lt; cultural experiences of children is als lt; nized at the Whatcom Hispanic Orgar one of the groups that joined forces v museum to provide the Latino celebrati "That's really our goal," WHO _ President Alfredo ^simÂ«^^i^^mm^m ^ Portillo said.

By Robin Duranleau THE WESTERN FRONT In the late 1960s, a couple of Australian seamen wandered into a local Bellingham tavern. As they sat down to have a drink, the two men told the bartender they heard about the bar from some fellow sailors who had recently visited the city. The bartenders of The Up Up Tavern began answering the phone "World Famous Up Up" because of the two foreign sailors who heard about the bar. Don Bring, the owner of the bar at that time, thought this would be a fitting new name for the tavern. The Washington State Liquor Board told Bring he could not call it "world famous" unless he could prove the bar was in fact world renown. The owner started advertising in three foreign countries, placing ads in Canada, England and France, which then satisfied the liquor board's gripe. The Up Up Tavern was then officially a world famous establishment. Ian Relay, the current owner, bought the Up Up in 1990 with one intention: "to sell beer." Jan. 21 marked the 12th anniversary of Relay's ownership. Known for its inexpensive pitchers, th Famous Up Up Tavern is a popular place Western students. Western senior Brian Donovan, 22, said h the Up Up because "the beer is cheap, I hav friends (there) and my name is (on) the bathroom (wall)." vsmit^mmiiSS^ Kevin Keyes, a bartender at the Iillllitillll Up Up, said he has worked at Â«Tr m the tavern for nearly seven years.

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 5.2 percent of the population in Whatcom County, 8,674 people, is of Latino origin. Besides opening up whole new possibilities for economic growth, the rise in Latino populations has had a social and cultural impact on the Bellingham community, Estrada said. "I think you're going to see more presentations and probably more effort like what you see going on in the Whatcom Museum," he said. The Whatcom Museum is not the only place that this appreciation of Latino culture has developed. WHO, formed in 1991, gives scholarships, awards and grants to provide assistance to Latinos in Bellingham, Portillo said. The organization also represents the Latino community on issues and concerns through advocacy and referrals, he said. Estrada said local churches have begun to add Spanish-speaking services to their pro- .grams. , .-.,.... .,..-.

Gamboa cited a case dating back to the 1940s that she researched for her job in an immigration law firm in Seattle. Workers from Mexico were contracted by America to fill employment gaps in the fields and on the railroads when U.S. men were called to fight in WWII. "Basically the Mexican people saved the crops that year," she said. "They saved our butts and we're not even taught about that." Gamboa said people who con tribute to our country's history should be acknowledged regardless of their cultural roots. "If you're going to acknowledge one group you should acknowledge them all," she said. "For me, that's justice." Gamboa said that is what this country is all about â€” the contributions of different cultural groups. "For me, it's important that I know my history and I know where I come from so that I can not only instill that in my children, but to give back to the community (that has) given so much to me," she said. of photographs taken by Latino high school students | h | | | | i ^ ^ f|hÂ£Â§tt^^ fefÂ§|^m^^ ;lanc(||p^ |3aturdi^^ ;N6oi^^ ;Gete^rafe1||^^ the ^\^a;trom;{}M .oflLatn^ .exlribit^^ â€¢Id ng i The tavern has been a little bit of everything throughout the years. Gambling was allowed at the Up Up before it became illegal. In the mid 1960s, it became one of the first gay-friendly bars in Bellingham. "I still get a couple phone calls here asking if the place is a gay bar," Relay said. Relay has an Up Up match-book from the early 1960s which was used for advertising. "On the spine of the matchbook was 'Television,'" Relay said. Having a television set was at one time the star attraction of the tavern. When remodeling the bathrooms a few years ago, a customer asked Relay for a chunk of the bathroom wall because his younger brother had signed it on his 21st birthday and he wanted to give it as a birthday present. Above the bar hangs a huge 16-foot log, which seems like it could be a possible safety hazard.

After the episode ran, Relay bought the fake log. While many rumors may fly about the Up Up being for sale, Relay said the property has always been for sale. Relay said he has not had any serious offers and he is not actively seeking buyers. "If someone walks in here with a check for $10 million â€” by God, they've got themselves a tavern," Relay said. Relay said he believes that any business is always for sale. "I'm easy in my head either way," Relay said. "I could go on running it or I can sell it. "I would want to pass it on to somebody (who) I thought moderately worth it to carry on the ancient and higher traditions of The Up Up," Relay said. ---------- Western Front 2002 February 08 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Intramural February 8, 2002 Sportsmanship alive at local sports programs By Josh Dumond THE WESTERN FRONT The incident involving two hockey dads in which one of them beat the other to death in Massachusetts in January, has hit home at a iocal level, but did not affect how operations run in Bellingham's department of parks and recreation. Mike Love, Bellingham Parks and Recreation Coordinator of Athletics, said he was shocked when he heard about the incident. He talked to his employees about it, but said problems to that extreme do not exist locally. Bellingham Parks . and Recreation has not changed procedures because of the incident. "At a local level, occasionally you'll have problems with parents, but we've never had any physical type things ever happen since I've been here," Love said. "I would say overall most kids and most parents are in it for the right reasons." We want all the kids to feel like they're winners' Mike Love Bellingham Parks and Recreation Coordinator of Athletics Western junior Jodi Gerdts and former Western student Jessica Lingo coach third, fourth and fifth grade girl's basketball at Larabee Elementary School. Both agreed that parents have not been a problem so far during the season. "There are a few parents who get kind of excited, but I don't think they get excited enough for it be a problem," Lingo said. Gerdts agreed and said, "I haven't had to deal with them (parents) at all. This program has really awesome, supportive parents." To avoid incidents like the one in Massachusetts, Bellingham Parks and Recreation currently uses a system of gym managers. Their job is to help deal with parents that may get out of control and take pressure off the coaches. Love said part of the problem is that some parents do not realize the department's philosophy. "They (the parents) come in and are a little too serious," Love said. "We'll get them straightened out, make sure they understand that these are our priorities and if they don't meet our priorities, we don't have them in our program." In some places, such as Florida, problems with parents have been so bad that they have established a code of ethics. There, parents take classes on how to behave during sporting events. This, in effect, eliminates most problems that parents may have. Locally, a code of ethics has not been instituted because the parent problems have not been as severe. Parks and recreation does not focus on winning or getting championship trophies. In their leagues, most valuable players are not named and all-star teams are not formed. Instead, the department focuses on kids having fun and building positive self-images. In basketball, the department has a policy that no player can score more than 16 points in a game. Any points scored after the 16th does not count toward the team total, promoting team play.

Western's offense was in high gear as they reached 100 points for the first time all season and ran away with a 102-87 victory over Seattle Pacific University. Rodgers, the Vikings' backup center, came off the bench and established herself early, scoring 13 points in the first half. She matched those 13 points in the second half giving her a career high of 26 for the game. 'Tm getting more confident in my playing, especially in my defense," Rodgers said. SPU did not have an answer for Rodgers' stellar offensive play. Rodgers dominated inside as she shot 11-17 from the field. "She did a good job defensively and she's improving every game," head coach Carmen Dolfo said. Western scored early and often as forward Stacey Miller's lay-in ignited a 20-8 run to give Western a 50-25 lead with 5:53 left in the first half. Miller came out on fire, scoring eight points in the first three minutes of the game. She finished with 20 points making 4 of 7 from behind the three-point line. "Tonight we came out so fired up, so ready to go, that we knew we weren't going to lose in our gym," Miller said. "They were giving us the outside shot at the beginning in the game and in the second half we were using Susan every single time." Viking center Jenn McGillivray, who finished with 15 points, said the team still needs to work on defense. "We let them score a lot of points still," McGillivray said. "We shouldn't let a team score 52 points in a half like they did. The win avenged an 87-74 loss earlier in the season to the same SPU team. "We weren't intimidated tonight," McGillivray said. "I think we were intimidated when we played down there." The win kept Western in first place in the GNAC conference with a record of 12-1 in league play and 18-3 overall. It also sets up a pivotal game against second place Central on Saturday. "We know they're (Central) a good team," McGillivray said. "We also know that we're a good team too and we know that if we play our game we should win. We're definitely not overlooking them."

Locally, Western nabbed two players right from its backyard. Sehome High School quarterback James Monrean and Squalicum High School defensive tackle Parker Follis were among the recruits.- 'Our goal is to get these guys back into the playoffs. It starts right now.' Rob Smith Head Coach "This is two years in a row that we have gotten very talented players in our county," head coach Rob Smith said. "It used to be that recruiting locally was the hardest recruiting that we did. Western's reputation and the football program have just turned that around. Now they are very aware of the quality of the football program that we have here and the quality of the university in terms of its academic reputation." Follis started and . lettered three years at Squalicum and was chosen for the 3A All-State team and was a first-team All- Northwest League pick. Follis said he plans to major in psychology or political science. "Western is just a great school," Follis said. "The academics are fantastic and the football team is really a cool thing." Central Washington University and Portland State University were also after Follis. Because of the not-so-great location of Central and lack of interest by Portland, he decided to sign with Western. "Ellensburg is not really that desirable of a place to live," Follis said. "I am from here (Bellingham) and it is good being close to home." Monrean started and lettered two years at Sehome. In his senior season, Monrean passed for 1,503 and 12 touchdowns, completing 95 of 177 attempts on his way to being named team MVP. "I am from here and I always knew that Western was a great school," Monrean said. . Follis and Monrean are both planning" on redshirting and sitting out their freshman years. This way they will be able to practice with the team, get familiar with the faster pace of college football and be better prepared to play. "We never expect a freshman to start," Smith said. "Ideally we want them to redshirt. The benefits from it are so great. I am a big believer in it." Of the 17 recruits that signed on Wednesday, six are All-State picks and five are in the Seattle Times Top 100 selection Monrean, Walla Walla offensive tackle Jose Chavira, Vancouver tight end Johnny McDonald, Bellevue linebacker Pat Mutzel and Spanaway Lake running back Darrius Tuggle all were rated in the Seattle Times Top 100.

Besides the everyday pollutants, which make their way into Lake Whatcom through storm drains and general runoff, sewage has drained in as well. Whatcom County Water District 10 must embrace stronger measures to keep the Lake Whatcom watershed clean. Lake Whatcom serves as the water supply for more than 65,000 Bellingham residents, including students at Western. Additionally, 250 residents take water directly from the lake. This watershed should be the most protected area in Whatcom 'Bacteria- causing fecal matter was recorded at levels 1,000 times higher than state standards.' Last December, excessive rainfall caused a sewage backup in Sudden Valley, the community surrounding Lake Whatcom. Most of the sewage made its way into Lake Whatcom. Because of impenetrable surfaces surrounding Lake Whatcom, the sewage was not filtered when it traveled through the ground, but ran straight into the lake. Bacteria-causing coliform was recorded at levels 1,000 times higher than state standards. The presence of coliform means the water may be contaminated with human or animal waste. This can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea and headaches in ingested. Coliform poses special risks for infants, young children and people with severely compromised immune systems. . If adequate drainage systems were in place, the overflow would not have happened, according to the Clean Water Alliance. 'It is a problem if sewage is going to run into Bellingham's water supply eveiy time it rains. A similar incident took place Jan. 25-26. Luckily Water District 10 managed to pump out the sewage before it ran everywhere. Bellingham is a rainy city. It is a problem if sewage is going to run into Bellingham's water supply every time it rains. General run-off from storm drains deposits pesticides, oil, fuel and many other chemicals into the lake every day. Adding sewage on top of that only increases the disease risk for animals and people. Water District 10 needs to look at waste management and come up with some long-term solutions. Putting out an alert every time the tank overflows is not enough. Water District 10 must install a larger retention tank, better drainage and more pumps. Solutions like these will help stop a future spill. Federal court's decision correct, state-sponsored prayer illegal Josh Haupt COMMENTARY A recent ruling by a federal court judge in Virginia found school-sponsored prayers at the Virginia Military â€¢ Institute unconstitutional. The court's ruling is a refreshing break of sanity at a time when U.S. citizens are more than eager to give up civil liberties. VMI seniors Neil Mellen and Paul Knick went to the Virginia branch of the American Civil Liberties Union with a complaint students were instructed to "subordinate their own personal .desires and well-being to the good of the whole unit." At VMI students were forced to participate in prayers before meals each evening and, as Federal Court Judge Norman K. Moon stated in his decision, "...(T)he primary effect of this practice has been to compel students to participate in a state-sponsored religious exercise. Finally, because the prayers are drafted and recited at the direction of the Institute's Superintendent, the result is that government has become inpermissably entangled with religion." Of course, at the same time, it could be argued that for Mellen and Knick to participate in a short prayer before an evening meal with their fellow students is not exactly torture. 'The melding of religion and politics is a very slippery slope.' It does, however, force them to unwillingly participate in a religious exercise within the context of a state-run institution. The constitution is quite clear on the separation of church and government. It mentions no exception for Virginia. The melding of religion and politics is a very slippery slope. Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. Religion is a vastly personal subject and should dealt with personally and within the family.

But don't expect a report from The Western Front â€” unless it's an undercover exclusive. The psychology professor in charge of the primate research, Merle Prim, loudly and angrily denied an interview, let alone a tour of the primate facilities. This is a public university and students have a right to know what's going on in the facilities they pay for. Prim cited past erred reporting as his excuse for refusing to comment. The Western Front has not reported primate research developments since the facility was broken into in 1999. For the past 30 years, Prim has been in charge of the laboratory, which, at times, has been a place for psychological research on macaque monkeys. When the primates become old and aggressive they are returned to the University of Washington's breeding program. Five monkeys were returned to UW last spring. One of the original six died in 1999 from "indeterminate" results, according to records of Animal Care and Use Committee;, the group that regulates the facilities and experiments. Prim runs the primate experiments with a $2,000 per year, non- Western grant, said Ruth Hackler, psychology department administrative assistant. Despite the outside funding, the university pays Prim's salary, and he uses university facilities. Yet, Prim has swiftly denied any access to Western Front reporters. Why the secrecy in a program at a public university? David Anderson, associate director of the Regional Primate Research Center at UW, said primate research is not commonly concealed. "We couldn't do things secretly here if we wanted to," he said, adding his center's departments ar.e inspected almost every month by UW regulatory committees. At Western, the ACUC inspects primate research once per year. To its credibility, the ACUC blocked Prim's research proposal to "resect" or remove part of the animal's' brains and test them for cognitive learning. Jackie Pritchard, director of the UW Primate Information Center, said reporters have been allowed access a few times since he began working there in 1988. Also "quite a few" graduate and undergraduate students work at the center, he said. At Western, select graduate students and undergraduate lab-hands are allowed access only after Prim approves, said Gabe Puttrese, animal lab technician at the psychology department. Generally, Anderson said the public doesn't tour the center because of the potential of transferring disease and disrupting medically sensitive animals. Many Western Front reporters would gladly take precautions necessary for animal and personal safety. The center director must approve any requests. At Western, Prim is the gatekeeper to the animal research. He decides who has access to the primates. As a man already prejudiced against the newspaper staff of 1999, he seems completely unwilling to budge. In order to defend its research credibility, the psychology department should allow the Western Front access to investigate the animal facilities when the monkeys arrive. After all, students have a right to know what is going on beneath their feet.

Nearly 40 "pit" protesters decided their right to be heard was greater than others. First, they refused to be quiet during a presentation by Whatcom Transportation Authority director of service development Rick Gordon. They made noise throughout the WTA presentaton and then-took over the chambers as Western began its Institutional Master Plan presentation. They wrapped yarn around the front of the chambers. Four ambitious protesters with bike locks linked themselves together on the floor of the chambers. The council adjourned and the protesters were warned they were on video and could be prosecuted for their actions. The protesters ignored these warnings. Later, three of the protesters (Joann Ernst, Dave Sansone and Tim Talley) were charged with conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct. The first trial in January ended in a hung jury. This month the' protesters stand trial for a second time and should be found guilty. 'Nearly 40 "pit" protesters decided their right to be heard was greater than others ' No right to interrupt council meetings exists. In a Saturday commentary printed in the Bellingham Herald, the three protesters said the City of Bellingham insists upon suppressing rights. â€¢ This is not true. The city council hosted workshops and meetings, which discussed the "pit" and what to do with it. None of these burned out hippies attended the meetings. The protesters acknowledged this, but said, "if we are-truly living in a democracy, then the city government should be responsive to the desires of the citizenry." The statement is unjustified on two counts. First, in a democracy, the majority rules. So far the protesters have collected approximately 2,000 signatures. Not exactly a majority in a city of 65,000. Second, and more importantly Bellingham is not a pure democracy. Instead the city has elected representatives who administer city policy for the electorate. Because the council is accountable to all of Bellingham, it must be responsive to the needs of everybody, not just those making the most noise. Tuition bill lacks AS Board support Nova Gattman AS VOICE Do you have an extra $500 lying around? If not, begin saving for next year if you intend on staying at Western. The recent budget Gov. Locke proposed to the legislature by has the very real potential to increase our tuition by 15 percent, or approximately $500 for the year in an effort to help offset the $1.25 billion deficit in the state budget. The governor proposed that individual schools have complete authority to increase tuition through their board of trustees. If this bill passes, Western's eight-member Board of Trustees will have complete control in setting tuition, an idea Western students have always opposed. 'Unlike legislators, students cannot vote trustees out of office if they don't agree with what they are doing.' Students have no direct control over trustees. Unlike legislators, students cannot vote trustees out of office if they do not agree with what they are doing. What is to stop a board - with only one student speaking up for student interests - from raising tuition to whatever level the economic market will allow? On Jan. 30, in front of the Senate Ways and Means Committee in Olympia, Western President Karen Morse said "We would ask for the flexibility to be able to go to a 15 percent tuition increase. Our board (of trustees) has not yet decided ---------- Western Front 2002 February 08 - Page 15 ---------- February 8, 2002 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 15 President's statements detrimental, students need administration's support From TUITION, Page 14 the ability to pay for higher education, if they were even able to remain in higher education. Concerns over the accessibility of higher education is also shared by the governor. 'Students on campus and in Olympia are fighting to keep increases in tuition in the single digits.' The governor's own budget states, "Education is our highest priority: improving student achievement and access to higher education are the keys to opportunity." It seems hypocritical to say access to higher education is the key to opportunity and then propose to allow universities the ability to raise tuition. The AS Board is highly concerned about the possibility of a 15 percent tuition increase. Students on campus and in Olympia are fighting to keep increases in tuition in the single digits. Call legislators via the legislative hotline (1-800-562-6000), or e-mail Western's administration and let them know that the governor's tuition bill is not acceptable to students. If students are interested in further efforts to convince legislators, the AS Board of Directors and WSL will be sponsoring a Viking Days trip to Olympia over President's Day Weekend. This will allow students to directly meet with legislators and participate in the legislative process. If interested in becoming involved with any of these events, contact the AS Board at 650-2941. Students already shoulder enough burdens in higher education â€” speak out and help to ensure that higher education is accessible to everyone. Religious freedom essential right, religious choice belongs in family From RULING, Page 13 people within the United States and the world who, are you ready for this, are not Christian. More amazingly, some people don't believe in a god at all! This is" essentially why the founding fathers wrote the separation of church and government into the constitution. They intended for government and religion to be separate. The bottom line is, every person should be able to practice or not practice the religion of his or her choice. This doesn't apply to the Taliban, in which the United States will come and bomb the goddamn country. They should not however be forced to endure a daily religious exercise in a government-run institution, period.

THE SUMMER FRONT LINE â€” This is the group whodidn't get a chance to work on their tans so we could bring you the news. See you in September! Lifeamong the stacks Libraries have always been terrifying places for me. Where else cum you go lookingfor a book on assertive communication and end up standing outside the door feeling totallyintimidated? 1 was up in the documents section of Wilson Library one Sunday evening when suddenly the lights went out. "Good grief," I thought, "it must be closing time." I groped my way out into ahallway and down some stairs. Just then, I heard a voice behind me say, "Let's try to make it out alittle quicker next time, ok?" 1 just nodded my head (I doubt anyone saw it in the dark) and pushed byway out the door and into the night. I ran all the way back to my safe little room in Nash Hall, but thatvoice haunted me for days afterward. Another time, I asked a clerk at the periodicals desk for a backissue of the Seattle Times -Jan. 13, 1979, to be exact. She looked at me with utter exasperation andsaid, "We don't have it." "Why not?" I ventured. "We don't carry papers that are over a month old," shesaid sharply. I was going to ask if she had ever heard of microfilm, but because she looked ready to hitme, I meekly tip-toed out to the checker, then out the door. And what about those checkers? Everytime I leave, I take a deep breath and pray they don't find anything on me. The thing is, I don't haveanything to. hide. Whenever I hear someone complain about a shortage of libraries on campus, I quietlythank my lucky stars a one-library policy exists here at Western. I don't think I could handle any morethan that. Patrice Gibble n^ttteiR Trespassers beware Editor, Western Front: An article in the Front(July 10) brought to my attention the confusion surrounding the crime of trespassing. The statement inthe article that "to be legally cited for trespassing, the area must not only have signs posted but befenced," is in error. Briefly, the conditions which constitute trespassing do not require either fencing orposting in most instances. Here are some classifications of land, the entering of which couldconstitute trespassing. Land which is 1, fenced or posted; 2, land which is used for agricultural orother purposes whether fenced, posted or not; 3, land which is near buildings or has improvements on it. Generally, the best course is to stay oft* private property unless you have written permission fromthe . owner. In the case of Teddy Bear Cove, heavy public use makes it unlikely that one will be citedfor trespassing there. However, it is private property and a complaint by the owner could bring citations.-William Robison Legal Information Office. A.S. Hall options open Editor, Western Front: Even thoughthe university has indicated it will wait four years,, to decide the future fate of Garden Street Hall(Journalism Building), the forces of nature are quietly making certain ominous decisions aboutthis lovely, historic building. With a roof leaking, gutters rusted and paint peeling, it appears that thedecision not to decide is equivalent to letting deterioration take its toll until it is too late to save it. The university forced the Campus Christian Ministry out to clear the land for a parking ramp. Now thatthose plans have been changed (or delayed), the building ought to be made available to a university or outside agency which has high off-campus traffic (alumni, continuing studies, gallery). Above all, atenant should be found which will provide better care for this important structure. -Sam PorterTechnology department ---------- Western Front - 1979 July 31 - Page 3 ---------- Westeri! Front 3 Tuesday/July 31M979 Olscarnp thinks so Is this man harassing the president? byPATRICE GIBBLE Western's administrators have declared in Whatcom Superior Court that Robert Balas of the Foreign Languages department is harassing them. Balas is suing the university, claiming he is being denied promotion to full-professor, a position he feels he is qualified for in accordance withthe 1969 faculty handbook, which was in use the year he was hired. But the handbook was updated in 1978 and Vice-President for Academic Affairs James Talbot said Balas doesn't meet newrequirements. Balas said he qualifies for promotion despite the change He also is asking for "salary-step increments," to which he said he is entitled. Balas' attorney, Bill Johnston, askedthecourtfora"deposition1' which he explained is an oral interview or testimony in a closed courtroom to find out onwhat facts the opposition is basing its case. "It's a discovery phase,'' he said. Western's legalrepresentative, Assistant Attorney General Stuart Allen, filed a motion to block the deposition saving that such matters would take Talbot and Unh'ersity President Paul Olscarnp away from other businessmatters. ' 'We can' t let a trend get started Allen said. "If everyone asked fora deposition, they'd(Olscarnp and Talbot) never get their work done." Last Friday, Judge Jack Kurtz ruled Johnston couldsubmit interrogatories (lists of questions) " to Western's adminstrators first and if the written answersweren't sufficient, then he could ask for an oral deposition. "The thing about interrogatories is that itgives the o t h e r party time to think about how they want to answer questions, but a deposition isan oral interview; they don't have time to take a FIGHTING FOR PROMOTION Robert Balas has beenaccused of harassing Western's top administrators University President Paul Olscarnp and Vice-President for Academic Affairs James Talbot. All he wants, he says, is the promotion and the backpay the Faculty Handbook guarantees him. huddle," Johnston said. Johnston said he would ask foradeposition again once the interrogatories were finished and if Western wanted to block it then they would settle the matter in court. Balas, Talbot and Olscarnp have refused to comment on the case, preferringto leave that up to their attorneys. This isn't the first time Balas and the university have been at odds.He said lie was fired from the university during the? earlv '70s when enrollment was dropping andprofessors were being cul from the faculty.

K McNEILL' It isn't a belief, it isn't a political movement and it isn't a religion, but it is the answer to the problems of North America, claims FrankSchuy-lar of Technocracy, Inc. Schuylar, 64, is director of the Bellingham office of Technocracy, anorganization of scientists aimed at solving problems scientifically. Technocracy is defined in the second edition of Webster's Dictionary as, "management of . . . society by technical experts inaccordance with principles established by technicians." The Technocrats (members of Technocracy,Inc.) say their system is the answer because it would eliminate waste and bolizing perfect balancebetween production and distribution. This balance in society is perhaps the basic goal ofTechnocracy, and to achieve this end, technocrats envision no less than a total reorganization ofthe basic economic syst em and society of North America. The form of government that thetechnocrats would implement to run this new, technically efficient society would be called a "Technate." The Technate would govern all of North America, a huge, complex system, divided into basic unitscalled "functional sequences." Within this framework, three divisions would exist: the industrialsequence, TH!iTffl1NATEQr(3N0RTri AMERICA ..j^.J^A(^k.:J^t.iJ^~..~.

The symbol of Technocracy, Inc.,occasionally seen on roadside signs, is called a "monad." It is a red and white circle, with a curveddividing line down the middle, sym-special sequence. These sequences would be similar to units ordivisions, working in such areas as manufacture, s e r v i c e , r e s e a r c h , armed forces activity andsocial and foreign relations. This entire complex would be governed by a body known as thecontinental control. One individual would be at the top of this heirarchy, the chief executive of theTechnate, called the continental director. The director would be chosen by the continental controlboard, and would have final decision-making powers. Schuylar said he sees Technocracy as theapplication of science, instead of politics, to our social order. He said the Technocrats see thecapitalistic, supply and demand system with its use of money as highly inefficient, wasteful andsubject, eventually, to a total breakdown. This system is called the price system. "The price system israpidly coming to an end," Schuylar said. He said in place of money the Technate would measureproduction output and value in energy units. Each citizen, at an early age, would be issued an energycertificate, that would be his for life. This certificate would equal a set amount of consuming power foreach citizen, and would supposedly meet all his needs. No private ownerships would exist. The basicwork load of each individual in the Technate would be four days of work and three off. The work cyclewould be 165 days of work, followed by 78 days of vacation, or just over two and one-half months. The careful and efficient use of advanced machinery would, the Technocrats say, easily allow this muchleisure. "Ideally, a person would work from age 25 to 45, then retire," Schuylar said. He saidTECHNOCRATS Frank and if a person was not interested in working in the Technate", he could live onlyat the subsistence level. He would be free to emigrate if desired. Despite the movement beingnearly 60 years old, Technocracy does not appear to be widely known in the United States or Canada. It started as a research organization in 1920 in New York City, called the Technical Alliance. Thefounderwas Howard Scott, an engineer at Columbia University. Interest gradually increased, and this small group of scientists evolved into a non-sectarian, non-profit organization known asTechnocracy, Inc. They were incorporated in 1933. Scott remained director until his death in1972. Technocracy has offices, known as sections, in all major c i t i e s in Canada and the UnitedStates. Continental headquarters is in Savannah, Ohio. The Bellingham office on Meridian Street ismanned by Schuylar and a handful of regular members for limited hours, two days weekly. The B e l li n g h am g r o u p meets monthly for business, with occasional social outings and Anneva Schuylarpicnics. Western history department chairman, Roland De-lorme, who has written a book containingmaterial on Technocracy, said the movement was never very large. At its height, it was never largerthan 5,000 to 6.000 people, he said. Delomie said he found Technocracy to be profoundlyantidemocratic in nature. "I don't think it (Technocracy) was ever viable. It is based on an inaccurate assess-ment of American society. F r a n k l y , i t ' s a c r a c k p ot scheme," he said. Don Eklund of the history department said it might be interesting to tie the application of the technocracy theory tothe use of nuclear power. But he had not read or heard if the Technocrats had an organized ulan for its use. Maurice Foisy, of the political science department, said simply because of the small size andlack of popularity, . Technocracy isn't necessarily bad or off-base. "These guys believe in scientifictechnology for public good. They are concerned with social conditions and their improvement," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1979 July 31 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, July $1, -xv* lt;/ Bootleg records purged in Seattle by GLENDA CARINOLook through your record collection carefully, you may be harboring a pirate.

No charges have been filed, though recording piracy is a felony in 49 states. The production and sale of illegal discs and tapes have been commonplace since the early '70s, andhave been, openly displayed and sold in; many record stores. Hugh. Jones, owner of Bell-ingham andSeattle Cellophane Square, said bootlegs have been illegal all along but his stores have sold them foryears. "Our competitor (the Gees-man enterprises) has had trouble over the sale of bootlegs and as a result we have decided to discontinue them," Jones said recently. Illegal discs and tapes are typicallyinferior in sound quality to that of a legitimate recording, yet they are popular. Bob Wright, manager of Bellingham Budget Tapes and Records said his firm does not carry them, but black market recordingsare easy to sell. "They're cult items because the performances aren't on regular recordings and thepeople who like a particular group and have all of their records in their collection are willing to buy thebootleg," Wright said.

The "bootleg record" is made withoutpermission from a live performance or live broadcast. It is usually wrapped in a plain white cover with aslip of paper under the cellophane identifying the music contained. A "pirate record" is one whosesounds have been "lifted" from a legitimate recording through electronic techniques. They are oftenidentified because a particular pirate will have only three or four graphic designs for the packages of all the products as opposed to the legitimate firm, which will create a separate design for the package of each recording. A "counterfeit record" goes beyond a pirate record in that not only are the soundspilfered, but also the record looks like the original, right down to the label and the record jacket.These are hard to identify because they are reproduced from the original by photographic means but the printing on a counterfeit is sometimes fuzzy and the colors may not be true. Jones cited anexample. "Remember the Yardbirds?" he asked. "They were a group from the late 60s. All of theiralbums are out of print and the originals sell from $20 to $50. Pirated Yardbirds albums sell for $12 retailand one-half that wholesale," he said. Rumblings about illicit recordings have been heard by suchnotables as Cheap Trick, who warned its fans to buy the legitimate live album because of the betterfidelity, rather than the bootleg live album. The Isley Brothers actually took the witness stand in a caseinvolving a pirated tape. Neil Young and John Sebastian were reportedly very unhappy about theirbootlegged tapes and records (Live at Sugar Mountain and John Sebastian Live, respectively). Illicitrecord sales amount to around $350 million a year versus the legitimate record sales of around $3.5billion a year. The amount of lost royalties are $5 million annually.

Now, six months later, with Iran still in civil disorder, they talked about their fears and hopes forthe new Iran. "There is a sense of apprehension among the people, a cultural shock. They areexperiencing something new," Khaksar, a sociology major from Ahwaz, said. "The shah's system was not only a political entity, it had a cultural effect as well." Gharai, an accounting student from thenortheast city of Mashed, said, "We passed a bad year. Everybody is tired of it. The schools wereclosed for six months but it is slowly getting better." The students expressed concern about theexecutions especially because the pace is too fast. "Personally, I don't like that (the executions). Two or 3 percent were probably not guilty of the specific charges and should not have been executed," Gharaisaid. They were critical of Ayatulloh Ruhollah Khomeini as well. Gharai said Khomeini was a good manbut was not doing what he promised before the February revolution. "He is a very old, virtuous andrighteous man with a strong personality," Khaksar said. "He gets tired of earthly affairs and doesn'thave a diplomatic mind. The rest of the world does not understand him." He added that Khomeini is more elastic now and realizes he will have to bend his superhuman ide.as-, w to more "earthly and practicaleveryday life matters." Khaksar said, "Khomeini told Iranian women not to dress provocatively. He was misunderstood and people took to the streets. The ayatulloh believes in the old tradition that women are thought of as lustful and would take advantage of a man's weakness, much like the Biblical tale ofAdam and Eve." Khaksar said Iranians, mostly in urban areas, don't buy that argument anymore."Because of the cross-cultural changes in the world or human societies, Iranian men and women haveexperienced the opposite is true," Khaksar said. "It is not good to make society totally religious in allspheres of life," Gharai said, "but the people are afraid to go against Khomeini because of his holiness." However, Gharai said the ayatulloh is a "symbol of the revolution and of keeping it all together."Khaksar said Americans view Islamic laws as harsh and punitive, but actually the burden of proof is onthe prosecutor. "For example, in order for a man and a woman to be proven guilty of adultery in Iran, fourmen and eight women have to physically witness the act," he said. Gharai also criticized measurestaken in the recently re-opened schools. "All mention of any previous shah's name was gone. EvenDarius, (a Persian ruler several hundred years before Christ) was eliminated from history books; 2,000years of cultural history distorted," he said. He said the authorities even "eliminated some chapters inphysics texts; about films, electricity and ,'â€ž lt;he,function of photons, and replaced it withchapters from the Koran. They say it (some scientific information) is now forbidden." "The regime is notstabilized and the rules change from day to day," Gharai said. "People have money but are afraid toopen the market because maybe their businesses will be nationalized." Gharai also said many areafraid of the questions that may be asked, such as "Where did you get the money?" and "Maybe youare a friend of the shah?" "The educated people, especially Western educated, are afraid to participateand help in the new government because of the uncertainties," said Gharai. "Tomorrow may bring anew regime and a new execution squad." Khaksar said Iran is a very decentralized nation thattraditionally challenges the legitimacy of the shahs. "Because of recent changes in the world, we havebecome more secular than before and unfortunately, this was done through the former shah's militaryand police powers," Khaksar said. "This is probably why the majority of Iranians now are rejecting asecular system because it is a remembrance of the old regime,'" he added. Khaksar said if Khomeini's government takes the same oppressive measures as the shah did, the movement could go "downthe tubes. But I haven't seen any indications of this." Khaksar said Americans believe what happened in Iran is a loss of face for the United States. He disagreed with this conclusion and said Iran'sxenqphobia^came later .. because of the- Carter-administra-'- tion's delay in recognizing the newgovernment. "It was a failure on the part of American intelligence to diagnose the realities of thesituation" he said. "They made a tactical mistake. "Americans wonder why I am not critical of events inIran arid sometimes expect me to be apologetic. I see things differently because I came from thatculture and have more depth and interest" in the subject, Khaksar said. "I can't rely only on the projected media images of the Iranian revolution" available here. "They (Americans) should not judge us by theirown values. The revolution is not really a rejection of Western thought and ideology but a confirmation ofour own tradition," he said. "I have great affection for the American people and I want to take thathome with me. I hope someday I can function as a link between the two cultures," he said. Khaksarspoke about how the revolution has affected him personally. "I am apprehensive. I fear for my country.At times, I feel really optimistic for the future but other times I feel excluded and frustrated;-, about thedaily events in Iran. "But, I am going back, no matter what. I have gone through internal changes myself(since the revolution). Now, I know for a fact the people have the power to dictate their demands to thegovernment," he said. Gharai said he is "optimistic and hopeful it will get better. I want to help mysociety and culture" in the future. "We didn't gain much but our political freedom," Khaksar said. -"["am'going to practice it or it will fade away. I can say anything now." " Come to the races!

Disheartened fans who wit-nessed "Babes in Arms," the opening production of summer stock, will have their faithrestored in live theatre after watching the antics of these actors. Recollections of a dingy, dark Old Main Theater were shattered by the smart set that boasted lush white carpeting, French windows, cream-colored walls splashed by brightly colored paintings and jf^, large green plants. But what was mostimpressive was not the colorful set and pleasing costumes the actors pranced around in, but theactors themselves. Two acts contain four mini-plays in rooms 203 and 204 of the Beverly Hills Hotel.Each scene sees different characters at different times occupying this suite. The ringing of thetelephone opens the first scene -which is a central prop throughout the play. Norma Richard playsHannah Warren, a 36-year-old career woman, in town to meet with her 38- year-old ex-husband William, played by Jay French. They have not seen each other in nine years but must discuss the custody oftheir 15-year-old daughter, Jenny. What ensues is a delightful, yet somehow bittersweet exchange ofniceties between the two. At times, Richard's upper class accent was too monotonous, seemingunnatural. Overall, though, she did a fine job portraying the independent woman, capable of being theclassic rich bitch, but having a vulnerable side seldom seen. Opposite her, French was convincing asthe ex-New Yorker, turned fanatical Cal-ifornian. He, too, gave the aura of the rich, dressed all in white,helping the audience glimpse the sunshine and whiff the salt water of California. Scene two is aclassic. The. scenario: Man wakes up with a hangover and finds himself in bed with a strange girl hehad relations with the night before. She is passed out and unable to move. It is 11 a.m. and his wife isdue any minute. Enter his wife! This scene contains the funnier lines of the play, and some of thebest acting. Jerry Stewart had the audience shrieking with laughter as he played the infidel caught witha hooker, Karee Ward-rop, in the bedroom. Cliches abound as he goes through all the expected moves(tries to hide her in the closet, tries to put her in the hall, covers her up on the lied), and yet theaudience loved it. Though :Stewart was an excellent and funny actor, he was upstaged by ShariWatson who played Millie Michaels, the wife. Watson's Jewish accent, her facial expressions andthe overall timing of her deliveries were nothing short of genius. At one time she laments "thehumiliation of lying in bed next to a hooker and Killing you I got my per- "SHE DIDN'T MEAN A THINGTO ME " Shari Watson and Jerry Stewart play husband and wife in Neil Simon's "California Suite." iod."Lines like this, coupled with her acting ability, gave the audience something to cheer about at the end ofthe scene. The third scene is again bittersweet, making the audience twinge with laughter and tears.It involves a hus-ban d a n d wi fe (Si d h ey and Diana Nichols) portrayed by Michael McCarthy andKaren Crowe. They are in town to attend the Academy Awards, Diana being nominated for best actress. McCarthy and Crowe give genuine portrayals of high society Londoners, showing the audience uniquesensitivities of the characters that are never seen beyond closed doors. It would be giving the stoiyaway to tell what those sensitivities are, but be assured that McCarthy and Crewe have the ability totouch the audience, both in hilarity and in seriousness. As in the Dan Hicks tune, "How Can I Love YouWhen You Won't Go Away," the last scene is about two couples from Chicago who have made theterrible mistake of going on vacation with each other. Mort and Beth Hollender are played by RichardMulligan and Melinda Ann Far-rell. Bradley Nickason and Cindy Lawrence play Stu and Gert Franklin! This is sheer slapstick, including a genuine knockdown, put-up-your-dukes fight. Mulligan isespecially believable as the irate husband, his anger showing vividly through facial expressions. Thewhole story is quickly explained in the one line as Mort says to Stu, 'Dont' order another Planter'sPunch, I'll go crazy if I have to watch you get the cherry out with your straw again!" If you're in the moodfor comedy, go see "California Suite." It plays again August 19-21 at 8:15 p.m. in the Old Main Theater.It will leave you holding your sides and clamoring for more. Psychology prof captures Western Openby B. K. STINSHOFF TwentvTnine members of Western's faculty, staff and administration got teed-offJuly 19, but it was all in good fun. For the fifth year, the masters of academia tested their scholarlyability on the links of Lake Padden in the Western Open Golf Tournament. If a grade had to be given,the collective lot of hackers, duffers and golfers proliably would have received somewhere between a C-minus and a D-plus. But with grade inflation figured in, a B-minus might be a better mark. Larry Millerof the psychology department obviously had done his homework as his score of 77 over the par-72course was the best of the day. Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Jim Davis was second in 78.However, psychology prof B. L. Kintz was the overall winner, shooting an 82, which translated to a 73under the Callaway scoring system. Betty Waren, a secretary in the speech department, won thewomen's division with a 75 under the Callaway system. Carol Diers, a psychology prof, had the topwomen's score with a 97. Diers also had the only eagle of the day on the par-four second hole. TheCallaway system, which might be considered golf's equivalent of grading on a curve, tosses out theworst scores, "thereby giving everyone an equal chance. Take the case of Bob Steiner a visitingprofessor from Ohio State University. Steiner, who tends to hit the ball into the trees, already had two10s in his first six holes. He admitted the Callaway system might help his score, "but I'd still rather nothave those 10s," he said. The 10s did help, as Steiner finished second with a 73, although his actualscore was a 103. One of the more entertaining golfers on the course was Herbert Taylor of theanthropology department. With bent amis and right foot placed strategically away from the body,Taylor more resembles a pipe smoking missing link preparing to better some rodent for his nightlydinner than a golfer swinging at a ball. "I do almost everything wrong, but it works out to bogey golf,"Taylor said. One of Taylor's boasts was that he never throe-putts. "The boast and the reality of courseare completely different things," he admitted folic lt;mr his second three-pui; th day. One man whodidn't three-putt very often was Davis. His good putting, and otherwise sound game gave him some'wonies, however. "It's hard on the nerves," Davis said after sinking a three-foot putt for a par. "I'd ratherdeal with problems at the office than these." Dance Co. to host class The Bill Evans Dance Companywill beofferinga dance workshop Aug. 26 through Sept. 8.

The ad was shown last year in the San Francisco Bay area to recruit more people to this city. But Christy Wilkens had seen Bellingham before when she visited here and this ad was not at allwhat influenced her to come north. Wilkens is the lead vocalist and rhythm player for "Foot Lucy," aband consisting of present and former Western students. Foot Lucy is one of the few bands that have made it big in this area and its popularity is increasing. The five piece band has been booked solidsince April and has just wrapped up an engagement at the Cocoanut Grove, 710 Marine Dr. Theresponse Foot Lucy received at the Cocoanut Grove was e n o r m o u s , including waiting lines onweekends. The crowd that cheered them on for two weeks consisted of various backgrounds and ages.It was not uncommon for a student to be dancing next to a couple.in their fifties. The main reason forFoot Lucy's attraction to all ages is its musical repertoire. "Blue Suede Shoes" followed by a currentLinda Ron-stadt hit keeps everyone on the dance floor. Wilkens earned her BA at San Francisco StateUniversity where she met Doug Ash, the band's bass player. The two FOOT LUCY They're proving to beBellingham s hottest new band. have worked together for the past four years and originally founded theband. Ash does most of the arranging of their original pieces which make up more than half of theirmaterial. "We came to Bellingham to rest and write music.

But boredom set in and the two decided toadvertise for a guitar player and drummer to jam with lt;.., . , . ., . , ... , Rich Samore, a member ofWestern's jazz department was the guitar player they picked.

Samore played professionally in Los Angelesbefore coming to Western and joined the group in January. Drummer Pete Ford considersBellingham his home. He has lived here for six years a n d the band found him through the grapevine two months ago. Samore is responsible for bringing the band's shy but talented keyboard player, Cai;lAmberson, into the group. Amberson is also a member of Western's jazz department and has beenplaying on the most unobtrusive part of the stage for the past four months. The band's originalnumbers are purely contemporary rock. The band books and advertises for itself. No manager oragent is involved, uncommon for a band that is booked solid for the next couple of months. Besidesplaying four sets a night, Foot Lucy practices daily two to five hours. "We are constantly producingmore music," Wilkens said. The band's goal, like most musicians', is to cut an album some day. Andundoubtedly they will. The band's music cannot be labeled beautiful but it is a lot of fun. It doesn't makethe listener dwell on abstract thoughts but laugh, and that's what today's audience wants. Foot Lucyhas played all over town, including the Holiday Inn. The Holiday Inn was the only place that wasn'thappy with them. "We attracted the wrong crowd for them. Too many grubby college students that d i dn ' t drink enough and didn't spend enough money. Those were the two longest weeks in my life,''Wilkens said. Foot Lucy leaves for Seattle this week where they have received a favorable responsein the past. They will return to Bellingham on August 17 to the Village Inn.
