The figures were given by the Registrar with tworegistration days remaining. Late registrants and August workshops will also influence enrollmentfigures. A vast proportion of students are adults back for additional study. More than 50 per cent are ineducation and taking courses relative to the teaching field. "We have maximum use of the collegefacilities, including special projects and the same number of classrooms in use as during the academicyear," Dr. Donald Kjarsgaard, Summer program director, said. "The Summer session differs from theregular college year, although there is a trend toward Summer as a fourth quarter. "Recently, thestudents have found they could start their educational experience by going through the Summer," Dr.Kjarsgaard said. Summer school is necessary to speed up the process of education. A student can now get a bachelor of arts degree in three years and still have more than a month's vacation per year."Summer session was at one time almost entirely devoted to adults. The quarter offered professors achance for innovation of new courses and programs. "We hope the new nature of Summer sessions willnot reduce innovation in the curriculum,* also that it will meet the needs of the graduate group," Dr.Kjarsgaard said. The administration has changed the office of Summer sessions from a separate entityto an adjacent operation within the regular academic structure. New college-community group needsvolunteers Associated Students have formed a United Community Committee (UCC). The UCC will work in c o n j u n c t i o n with the C o l l e g e - B u s i n e s s m e n ' s Committee of the Chamber ofCommerce to assist different organizations in Whatcom County. Areas such as minority groups,assisting the poor and aged, recreation, health, welfare and many others will be included in the program. The XJCC was formed after a suggestion made in a Bellingham Herald editorial. Both paid and volunteer positions are open to interested students. For information about the UCC contact AS President AlDoan in VU-205 or call ext. 2272. Student wages increase 75c Student checks class changes andcorrections during registration. Summer control board elects new members photo by christensen TheBoard of Trustees approved an increase in student wages from $1.45 an hour to $1.60 an hour whichwas effective June 16. Students submitting time cards for work performed on or after June 16 should use the $ 1.60 per hour wage rate. The Board of Trustees wanted the increase since most off campusemployments use the $ 1.60 wage, Joe Nusbaum, college business manager said. John Ward, TerrySanders, Jerry Field, Mark Cooper and Jim Thomas were elected to the Summer Board of Control(BOC) last Thursday. Ron Roberge, Phoebe Hudson, Neil Porter, Jim Hill and Heather Highmiller wereelected to positions of alternate BOC members. As alternate members, these people will have fullmembership and voting privileges. Regular members of the BOC are: Greg Baker, AS vice president;John Murray and Larry Dittloff, legislators. Jim Hill suggested student government look into thepossibility of renting a cabin on Mount Baker to students. It was announced at the meeting that Club 515 is planning to change to a coffee house. Club 515 has been meeting in the VU coffee shop twice amonth in the past. It affords inexpensive entertainment for students. AS President Al Doan a n n o u n c e d a student government retreat will be held at the Baptist camp on Lake Whatcom. Time and datewill be announced later. BOC meets at 3 p.m. every Tuesday in VU-208. All students, faculty and staffare welcome to attend the meetings. Lurhmis place bets for dice game at annual Lummi festival..

"We try to get high schoolers interested in college,then we prepare them for the change from high school life to life at college." Project Overcome is part of the nation-wide Upward Bound program. The program has more than 250 chapters throughout thenation, Theresa Waiholua, assistant director, said. sMiss Waiholua explained how the program atWestern became known as Project Overcome. "The kids named it that the first summer," she said."They began singing the song, 'We Shall Overcome,' and soon they were calling the program ProjectOvercome." Project Overcome recruits 50 students from high schools throughout Western Washingtonto attend during the summer before their senior year. Another 50 high school graduates return each yearfor a second summer, she said. The first-year students take general orientation classes to becomefamiliar with the vast differences between high school and college, Miss Waiholua said. The second-year students can take classes for college credit, she added. "About 80 per cent of the students who jointhe Project do not meet the standard college entrance requirements," she said. "However, werecommend students we think can succeed in college. "Sometimes the college waives therequirements for the Project Overcome students." Project Overcome started its fifth summer at Westernin June, Schwartz said. Mobil to give scholarships to 5 Lummi tribe students A scholarship program for Lummi Indian students was recently established with a $10,000 grant from the Mobil Foundation Inc.The Foundation allocated the $10,000 to provide four years of study at Western for five Lummi Indianstudents, O.C. Johnson, manager of Mobil's Ferndale refinery, said. A n n u a l r e n e w a b lescholarships of $500 each will be awarded to the students between 1969 and 1976. The first MobilLummi Scholarship student will enter Western this Fall, and the fifth student will graduate here in 1977,Johnson said. "We asked the college to set up this program on a staggered basis as an incentive for the younger Lummi students who are presently in the lower grades." The $500 annual scholarship isintended to cover tuition, books and some incidental expenses, Johnson explained. A committeecomposed of representatives from Western and Bellingham, Ferndale and Sehome high schoolsselected1 the scholarship recipients. The Mobil scholarship at W e s t e r n will stimulate an interest inyounger Lummi students to acquire education, Vernon Lane, head of the Lummi Indian Tribal Council,said. "They need evidence of community interest and assistance to overcome some of the difficulties ofgetting more education." FRESH I "* lt;«** lt;**»» WATERMELON at ENNEH'S THRIFTWAYHIGH AND HOLLY "WHERE EVERY CUSTOMER IS IMPORTANT" "Of the first 50 students we had,more than 90 per cent went to college. Nearly a third of those are still here." The Project Overcomestudents have one thing in common, Miss Waiholua said. "They might never have received the chance to go to college, if it weren't for a program such as this." Project Overcome draws its students from allsegments of the disadvantaged, Schwartz said. This year's students will include Blacks from the cityghettos, Indians from the reservations, Mexican Americans from the migrant labor camps and ruralWhites, he said. What do Project Overcome students now in college think of the program? "It's great,"one student said. "For the first time I could relate to other people. I found my identity. "I met some ofthe greatest people here during the Project." "It's a good thing for the kids who want to go to college but for some reason can't," Randy Lewis, Fairhaven student, said. The Spanish-styled Mt. Baker Theaterrepresents the bygone baroque period.

"All areas within student government will operate under their own autonomy, but will meet incabinet meetings," Al Doan, AS president said. New positions have been created to fill needed areaswithin Associated Students. An example of this is the newly created position of Business Manager.This position will incorporate the duties of last year's Union Facilities Manager and Finance Manager.Les Savitch has been appointed to the job. This office will handle all financial areas of studentgovernment plus manage all student owned facilities such as Lake wood and the Viking Union. TheCommunity Relations office is another new area. Ken Marshall, community relations officer, plans .towork with the Chamber of Commerce on programs such as the UGN drive. The Student Affairs officewill handle all student instigated projects. A list of topic suggestions for individual student work isavailable in VU-206. Population control and conservation are two areas Doan is interested in."Preservation of genetic codes through the understanding, non-disruption and restoration of ecologicalbalances" is what Doan is striving for. "Restoring these ecological balances is a difficult task that islittle understood by man," Doan said. In the conservation line, Doan has set up several projects. Clean-up crews will hike into the high lake areas in the National parks. Volunteers for fire fighting crews cansign up in VU-206.

Sponsoredthrough the home economics department, the laboratory offers the six women in the program practicalapplication of gained theory. The six-week session is divided into two, three-week periods with a newgroup of students scheduled for the second period. Two of the married students do not live in thelaboratory apartments as do the other four, but are still involved in the six rotating duties and attenddinner with the others. Each girl also pays a weekly fee for operating costs but the rent is paid by thehome economics department. Duties as set up by the students are those of planner, manager, cook,assistant cook, housekeeper and decorator. Although other classes may interfere, the girls "must beflexible in planning meals around class schedules," Cecelia Roach, laboratory advisor said. Miss Roach, assistant professor at Indiana University (IU), has advised in home management residences for eightyears and has been at IU for seven years. She also expects the girls to meet requirements of othercourses, maintain good group relations, assess and utilize available resources, and "have a good timelearning to know one another." Each planner may operate under one of two economic levels, theeconomy or the liberal. The economy level allows $ 1, plus or minus a 10 per cent leeway per person for daily food. The liberal level allots $1.75 daily per person plus or minus the 10 per cent leeway. Furtherallowances are made for entertaining guests and dining out. Individuals are expected to use "labor-saving equipment and products" as well as to prepare at least "one quick meal, 1 one-dish meal and anunusual dish," Miss Roach said. Since the women rotate tasks every two days, each person mustapply her1 knowledge of nutrition, meal management and preparation, interior design and homemaintenance. The program is "good for girls who haven't any experience," Mrs. Nancy Blue, thelaboratory's first planner,said. "I'm still learning after 15 years of marriage." Most of the girls have neverhad to manage a home or to " p l a n for individual differences," she added. Other students participatingin the laboratory are Barbara Bauer, Rosalie Kempma, Karen Kirkman, Carol Leicht, and Mrs. PhyllisRobbins.

Eugene Omey. Some 1,400freshmen are expected August 4 and 5 prior to the main orientation September 28. Of the 8,000students a n t i c i p a t e d next Fall, approximately 1,800 will be incoming freshmen and 1,000 will beundergraduate transfers, Omey said. Many potential Western students become interested in the college during the eight to nine weeks Omey spends touring 23 to 29 high schools throughout the state. Theoffice's work is a "two-pronged operation," Omey explamed. Fifty per cent of office-time is devoted toclerical work and advisement; the other fifty per cent is spent serving as an information source and public relations vehicle. Professional organizations such as the Washington Council on High School-CollegeRelations as well as high school administrators work with the office. Counseling Center open to allenrolled students The Student Counseling Center, located in OM-352, will continue its servicesthroughout Summer quarter.

This is your friendly neighborhoodeditor. We're here for the same reasons that you are—to enjoy the sun, surf and sand and, of course, to do a bit of learning. On the side we publish a paper that you will want to read. (Think positive, I alwayssay.) Anyway, we need your cooperation. We like to get mail, and we want to know what makes youhappy and/or unhappy. Everyone nurtures a deep, dark desire to see his name and ideas in print, sokeep those letters coming, folks. The deadline is Thursday, 8 a.m. and the office is VU—3. And nowthat we've dealt sufficiently with the necessary pleasantries, the question of "What will the summerWestern Front be like?" rears its ugly head. In the past this paper has been heavily oriented toward thepolitical scene. Well and good, b.ut I have a sneaking suspicion (are you prepared for this?) that noteveryone is interested in politics. If this is heresy, forgive me. Having been a common student for manyquarters, before vaulting into the mysterious realms of journalism, I know that the letters to the editor are the most cussed and discussed section of the paper. Students eagerly scan the signatures to find ifthere is a familiar name. Peculiar behavior in this age of "I love mankind; it's people I can't stand." Tocarry this a step further, I think students would also be interested in seeing familiar faces. With this ideain mind, I propose that this paper become more individually oriented. Rather than a dry report on thefact that there was a sit-in, a story on who organized it and why. Of course, we all know that the onlyinteresting people on campus are those in student government, the Black Student Union, the Studentsfor a Democratic Society and other groups of doers, don't we? Not necessarily. Everyday, "ordinary"people are really quite extraordinary. Just the fact that they're content to be "ordinary" when every manand his dog is attempting to make the front page, makes them unusual. We can't promise you the frontpage, but wht) knows? The next person we interview may be you. —Jill Stephenson Activists wantpeace, justice, democracy Throughout America activist groups are fighting for "peace", searching for"justice" and crying out for "democracy." Right wing anti-communist and leftist anti-war advocatesmay or may not realize it, but they are running this country by a set of rules developed over fifty yearsago. The Front recently received a copy of the following article which was printed in the January-February issue of the Portsmouth, Va. Public Schools. "Captured in Dusseldorf, Germany, in May, 1919, bythe allied troops, were the following Communist Rules for Revolution: 1) Get the people's mind's off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and trivialities. 2) Destroythe people's faith in their natural leaders by holding them up to contempt 3) Always preach truedemocracy but seize power as fast as and as ruthless as possible. 4) By encouraging governmentextravagance, destroy credit, and produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent. 5) Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster lenient and softattitudes on the part of the government toward such disorders. 6) By specious argument, cause thebreakdown of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence and faith in the pledged word. 7)Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view of confiscating them and leaving thepopulation helpless. "This completes a long list of goals established by the old-line Communists."Moscow has repeatedly said in recent years that she will conquer America from within and not by use of military force."

Perspectives John Miles contributor Occasionally I run to keep fit and find myself pounding thepaths of Sehome Hill. I make my way along the trails up there, listening to birds singing and absorbingthe scents of woodland. Usually I feel physically and mentally good as I climb—until I emerge onto theroad at the top of the hill. There my blood pressure lifts, not because of my exercise or because of thebeauty of the place, but because there, at a spot overlooking our city, I emerge into the droppings of a"civilized" man. There I find old shirts, broken beer bottles, shredded paper, cardboard boxes, pop-tops,old blankets and other leavings of those who drive up there to enjoy the setting. I look out over Bellingham and get a better view of the smog than usual. I decided to write down sundry thoughts that enter myhead concerning the environment in which we live, the world of Western, of Bellingham, of Washingtonand of the World. That narrows things down. This narrowing down of things is a real problem these days. Communications media and advanced education so broadens our view of the world that, in the area ofthis world's problems at least, we can't see the trees for the forest. A jog through our backyard woods isan antidote to this frustration at abundance and bring both a forest and a tree into focus. Sehome Hill can and should be looked upon as a treasure by those of us who live in its shadow. It is not city park in theconventional sense but a droplet of "wilderness" visited on occasion by wandering deer and inhabited byrabbits, warblers, thrushes and countless other living things. It is, as the birdwatchers among us know(and there are a few) an occasional stopping point for birds migrating on the Pacific Fly way. Pathsthread their way throughout the place. Myriad species of plants, among them wildflowers, reside beneaththe Douglas Fir canopy. Most importantly, this spot is in our backyard. We don't have to drive far to enjoy it. No great plans and preparations are necessary to go there. We can walk. People in other parts of ourworld are not so fortunate. This bit of treasure should be preserved. It should be cared for and studiedand enjoyed, cleaned up and nurtured. No one should be excluded from it in its preservation unless it bepeople like those who ventured out this Spring with axe or hatchet and cut small trees into the trails.Everyone can go there to escape their cage. Preservation will occur only if all of us in the community areaware of its value, only if we work to maintain the quality of this little pinpoint of "wildness." We mustnarrow our wide-ranging visions enough to occasionally hike or drive up there to enjoy the view, pick uplitter and examine the beauties large and small of this bit of land. And perhaps-just perhaps-someonewill, as they gaze over Bellingham through the smog, decide to do something about that air. thewesternfront official weekly newspaper of Western Washington State College second class postage paid atBellingham, Wash. 98225 phone, 734-8800 editorial, ext. 2277 advertising, ext. 2276 Jill Stephensoneditor-in-chief Judy Williams copy editor Maryjo Hardy ad manager Chuck Sample editorial assistantLarry Dittloff sports editor Bob Kelly head photographer Mike Moore cartoonist Adele Saltzmanmanaging editor Bill Woodland business manager Gerson Miller advisor Reporters: Katie Pratt, KenRitchie, Carolyn Zeutenhorst Photographers: Peter Berger, Art Christensen, Kathy Jarvis, George Mustoe, Curt Rowell Deadlines: 8 a.m. Thursday-letters to the editor, classified ads 1 p.m. Thursday-news copy, display ad reservations 10 p.m. Friday- display ad copy Represented by NEAS, 360 Lexington Ave.,New York, N.

The bill, endorsed by Governor Dan Evans,provided that women could have an abortion performed by a certified doctor upon request. Sponsors ofthe defeated bill indicate that it may be an initiative next year, giving voters a chance to decide thelegality of the issue for themselves. The present abortion law forbids abortions unless it is necessary topreserve the woman's life. Liberalized abortion laws have been passed in some states: most permittingabortions for a wider range of reasons than Washington's archaic law. Abortions may be performed inorder to preserve the mental health of the mother in some states. In others, the possibility of a deformedbaby is cause for abortion. One reason for a liberalized abortion code is that many women receiveabortions, anyway. An estimate of at least 1,000,000 abortions per year in the United States isconsidered conservative by experts. The figure may be much higher. Of these, at least 5,000 will diefrom complications such as bleeding and infection. But these dangers are not inherent in having anabortion. The deaths result from women being forced into the hands of midwives and quacks. Theseunqualified persons often employ dangerous and fatal methods to perform or induce an abortion. Anabortion performed in a hospital by a qualified doctor is s a f e r than having a tonsillectomy. It also issafer than having a baby. There is also discrimination in the abortion laws. The rich may seek outqualified U. S. practitioners operating under more liberal laws or where sympathetic officials turn theirbacks. Failing this, they may travel to Mexico, Japan, Puerto Rico, or other countries, where abortionsare easily obtained. The poor, unable to raise enough money to seek professional help, are forced to goto butchers while the rich undergo a safe, simple operation. There are moral questions involved in thisissue. A counter to the claim that easy abortions will increase promiscuity is that more than 50 per cent of all women seeking abortions are married. Women with too many children or not enough money tosupport another child are prime seekers of abortions. Fear of pregnancy has never throughout history,served as a deterrent for promiscuity. Religion plays a major part in this issue. But is it right for awoman to bear a child she doesn't want because of the religious beliefs of others? Is it right for a babywhich has a good chance of being malformed, such as the thalidomide babies of the early 1960's, to beborn into a world that is already beginning to suffer from over population? Is it right for a 13-year-old girlwho has been raped to bear the emotional scars of childbirth? These questions have to be c o n s i d e re d when the liberalization of abortion laws is an issue. Japan, which made abortions legal after WorldWar II, has reduced the birth rate of that already overcrowded nation by more than 50 per cent. Thethreat of overpopulation might serve as a factor when deciding whether the abortion of unwanted or ofdeformed babies is right. The passage of this bill probably would not have increased the amount ofabortions significantly; it would just have meant that those having abortions would no longer run the riskof death or injury by quacks. • While the present abortion law made little sense in 1909 when it waspassed, the law makes less sense now due to. the threat of overpopulation. Seattle Repertory actors oncampus for Summer Institute in Theater Arts Professional theater has come to Western in the form offive actors and actresses, past and present, from the Seattle Repertory Theater. They are here, with 20secondary school instructors from throughout the country, to participate in the Summer Institute ofTheater Arts directed by Dr. Thomas Napiecinski, associate professor of speech.

Baker theater represents golden era Ken Ritchie staff reporter(This is the first article in a series of three concerning Bellingham theaters and movies.) There is a part of a bygone era in Bellingham that can be enjoyed by anyone with the money for an admission ticket. The Mt. Baker theater represents a baroque period that has largely disappeared. During the heyday of silent motion pictures, movie palaces were built all across the country. This golden era lasted from about theend of World War I to the early 1930's. A gentleman by the name of Samuel Lionel Rothapfel,nicknamed Roxy, seems to have started it all. Early motion pictures did not enjoy much respectability.Indeed, some of the vaudeville houses used them as "chasers" to empty the theater for the nextperformance. Roxy changed all that. He sold the film as the feature attraction and gave a stage showthat was an integral part of the performance. Theatrical designers during the golden era developed theopulent surroundings that proclaimed that movie stars were America's royalty. Movie palaces were builtto assault the senses of the people. Imagine 120 musicians suddenly appearing on an elevator from thedepths of the orchestra pit. Imagine dozens of dancers performing on stage, lit with hundreds of lights.Imagine the impact of a thundering pipe organ as it followed every nuance of the action on the screen . .. this was the golden era. The Spanish-styled Mt. Baker is a very small part of this period. It openedApril 29, 1927. It was the most lavish movie house north of Seattle. The Mt. Baker was intended to have a few small vaudeville acts to augment the film. The deserted dressing rooms backstage are still waiting for the performers.

It provided the mood music and sound effects for the film and showed off the virtuosity of a local organist.The Mt. Baker is no exception. The two manual, ten rank Wurlitzer has been restored lovingly and isoccasionally played by Gunnar Anderson on Friday and Saturday nights. The theater pipe organ is more than just a musical instrument. If played properly, the entire gamut of emotions can be evoked from it.The Wurlitzer at the Mt. Baker has the usual stops and a 'toy counter' which provides two octaves ofsleigh bells, a snare drum, fire bell, a klaxon, a bird whistle, a marimba-harp and a celeste to name afew. Perhaps Gunnar will play it for you sometime. As a patron walks through the main foyer there isstill much of the original design left. On the ceiling and walls are the efforts of long departed artisanswho could make plaster look like wood. The lighting fixtures are original. Most of the ornate scroll workis the same as when the building opened. The rugs are different. When new, the rug's pattern waswoven to match the design of the plaster work, but nobody does that anymore and plush red has takenover. The snack bar is an obvious intruder in the setting, but in its-own way it is functional and gaudy.Inside the main theater, the grandeur that the designers hoped for is evident. The large dome in thecenter of the ceiling is dominated by a LaBounty gives recital tonight Dr. Edwin LaBounty will present a piano concert at 8:30 tonight in the music auditorium.

Theornate light fixtures under the balcony are unchanged and still reflect the theater's original splendor. The fixtures are rather pretentious, but they lend to the feeling that you are in someplace special. As youlook toward the stage you see the new curtains. The old one had gigantic figures wearing clothes in themode of . the flapper era. As a younger child I looked with awe at those figures dressed like people from old magazines. Now the curtain, has been replaced with a nice piece of cloth, but somehow there is an intangible quantity missing. If you can afford to, go to the Mt. Baker. Listen for some of the echoes ofthe past that are trying to speak to you. Even if the picture is not the best, you will, perhaps for a fewmoments, have left a plastic world for a plaster one. Bare essentials not necessary to play bridge "As a student at Western, you have paid about 19 cents to play bridge this summer. If you are a bridgeplayer, get your money's worth," Owen Carter, Bridge Club assistant director of publicity, said. "This isnot a club of bridge experts. In fact, many players know only the bare essentials," Carter said. "Anyonewho knows the game at all can enjoy playing. If you don't have a partner, one will be provided," he said.Duplicate bridge is played like party bridge, the difference being that everyone plays the BroastedChicken t f ) J gt; a O U A complete Dinner Includes potatoes, garlic bread and coleslaw 209 WHOLLY ALASKA TAVERN Scouting Around Larry Dittloff sports editor Western is an outdoorsman'sparadise. The campus has been known to have some strange outdoor happenings but the true paradiseis the surrounding countryside. We are only minutes away from some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. In fact many people come to Western for that reason alone. Western has an extensiveoutdoor program which recognizes many people fail to take advantage of our great outdoor heritagebecause of a lack of necessary skills and knowledge to do so. The Outdoor Program is helping to remedy this situation with instruction from qualified outdoorsmen.

On BellinghamBay from June 16 to June 21 the top collegiate sailors from North America raced for team and schoolchampionships. This event was hosted by the University of Washington (UW) Yacht Club and Western'sViking Yacht Club. The Walter C. Wood trophy was won by the Pacific Coast team of San Diego Stateand U n i v e r s i t y of Southern California (USC). Second in this competition was the Northwest regionwith the UW and the University of British Columbia (UBC) pulling off a mild upset. This early victory forthe West Coast teams set the stages for the school competition which has been dominated by EastCoast schools in the past. In mid-week the individual sailing started. There were 24 races in all; 12races in each division. A round robin was held in both divisions with each team sailing each boat once.After the first day of races was completed the Coast Guard was leading with 52 points (the lower scorethe better); USC was second with 55. The second day of this series was run in winds of 15 to 25 knotsand the boats were starting to show their weak points. Six rudder pins were broken in a one-hour period. When this happens during a race the school may apply for break down points. At the end of thesecond day, the leaders were unclear., On the last day of racing there were only five races to finish thecompetition in the round robin. Again, it was unclear until the judges had met to decide protests andbreakdown points, who the winner was. With superior sailing the last two days, getting no place lessthan fourth, San Diego State came out on top with a score of dtf00* R i N e 3 POMTAINK • • • PROM *1SOj All your Jewelry needs Watch and Jewelry Repair MLTQN L TERRY J«weUr .1326Cornwall! 733-2030 112 points, thus winning the Henry A.

The committee has prepared thousands of leaflets and fact sheets forstudents to take back to their home communities for distribution during Christmas vacation, BernieWeiner, a committee member, said. The leaflets are available at the Associated Students office in theViking Union or at a meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday in L-4. "We're urging students to 'take peace home' forChristmas, because the war and killing and destruction in Vietnam will go AS drops Karp demand In aswift about-face, the AS legislature has abandoned its demand to the college a d m i n i s t r a t i o n forthe resignation of Student Activities Director Chris Karp. An-amendment easily passed last Tuesday'sstudent legislature meeting deleting all references to the long-fought demand. Student government hadcalled for Karp's resignation on the grounds that "all channels of communication had been severedbetween Karp and student leaders." Karp is one of three professional members of the Viking Unionadvisory staff. Student government officials said that they chose to drop the demand after "new channels of communication have been opened and it was felt that differences can be resolved in a new manner." The demand for Karp's resignation was only one of Fairhaven might withdraw from AS In an attempt togain more funds for instruction, Fairhaven students are investigating the possibility of withdrawing fromthe Associated Students. Insufficient funding by the state will otherwise restrict the Fairhaven programnext year. Only two faculty will be added, despite an increased enrollment of approximately 150. Littlemoney will be available for expansion of audio-visual, art or library facilities. Of the $88 per quartertuition, not more than $13 is designated for student activities and athletics. It is this $13 per quarter perFairhaven student that Fairhaven would earmark for its own use. Based on a probable enrollment ofaround 450, approximately $17,500 per year « would be freed. Money so obtained would be used forhiring additional faculty. This show of initiative may also favorably influence those foundations whichFairhaven is approaching for funding. The probable effect of this withdrawal from Associated Studentswould be Fairhaven exclusion from all or most AS sponsored activities and athletics. Fairhaven students would pay non-student rates for AS films, dances and concerts, as well as for games. Fairhavenparticipation in programs of the department of continuing studies and other Western departments wouldnot be affected. In a poll to determine whether Fairhaven students would favor such a move, 88 per cent of those responding supported withdrawal. three wide-ranging student government demands to thecollege administration Nov. 18. Student leaders are basically pleased with President Charles Flora'sanswers. Flora granted permission for the student representative to the Board of Trustees to attend allmeetings and also agreed that a negotiated level of student fees will be used as a funding base for theAssociated Students. The final portion of the third AS demand called for student government control over the hiring, firing and setting of salaries for the professional Viking Union advisory staff. This finaldemand is still being negotiated. on during our Christmas vacation," Jerry Field, chairman of themoratorium committee, said. The leaflets include articles by Sen. Charles Goodell (R.-N.Y.), introducing a resolution calling for the total withdrawal of American troops by the end of 1970; Walter Lippmann,calling for a negotiated U.S. withdrawal, and a Vietnam fact sheet prepared by the Republican PolicyCommittee. The moratorium committee is also urging people not to participate in the usual Christmasbuying this year. Shoppers are encouraged to buy items from peace organizations and to participate inthe Bellingham Faire Exchange, to be held this Saturday, where gifts can be exchanged. Items youwish to trade may be brought to the old bank building at 11th and Harris Streets, South Bellingham,beginning at 10 a.m. Items in need of repair should be taken to 1019 High Street. The buying boycottand Faire Exchange have three aims, according to Weiner: 1. Provide an alternative to the usualChristmas "junkie spree where we are taught by the economy that newness of a gift is to be equatedwith Christian love"; 2. Protest the Vietnam war in a visible way; and 3. Build and strengthen thecommunity of peace in Bellingham. Volunteers are needed to join the moratorium committee in goingdowntown Friday to help distribute leaflets and literature advertising the Christmas buying boycott and Faire Exchange. Those interested should meet at 10 a.m. Friday in the VU foyer. Literature andidentifying armbands will be distributed then. Other activities planned by the moratorium committee forthis month include a symbolic Christmas Eve demonstration and a mass mailing to local Bellinghamcitizens. Student J.D. board forming Procedures have been started to implement the development of anIntermediate All-Student Judiciary Board which hopefully will begin to function at the start of or soon after the start of Winter quarter. The college administration has approved establishment of the board andstudent member applications are now being accepted. Application forms are available at the Dean ofStudent office. Clearance for the procedures has been given informal approval by the collegerepresentative from the Attorney General's Office, with limitations placed on the right of this group tosuspend or expel students from college. The purview of this group would be to make certain sanctionson students and to r e c o m m e n d to the administration the suspension and expulsion of students.The Dean of Men and Dean of Women are forming the board, which will consist of eight studentmembers, at least two of which must be of the opposite sex of the other six. The jurisdiction of the board will be: all appeals and referrals from the residence hall judicial boards; violations of college r e g u l a ti o n s outside the jurisdiction of the residence hall boards, including (1) violations occurring when two ormore residences are involved, (2) violations by individuals who are not residing in college residence h a ll s , (3) violations at College-sponsored events. The board will assume the disciplinary role the Dean ofMen and Dean of Women now handle; with the Deans referring cases to the board. Dean of WomenMary Robinson lauded the board as being "a chance for students to create something." The studentscan reason and interpret the law themselves because they have a better ability to reason amongthemselves, she said. Ray Romine, dean of men, believes that in an institution of education adisciplinary system should be educational, not punitive. ---------- Western Front - 1969 December 9 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, December 9, 1969 Miss Lorraine Powers retires as Western's Dean of Womenafter 28 years of faithful service. -photo by gable Powers ends Dean of Women post Dean of WomenLorraine Powers leaves her post at the end of this quarter, after 28 years of service to Western.

Dr. NellThompson, ad hoc committee chairman, explained that the original committee charge had been todevelop criteria for the elementary minor, but was now unanimous in the need for a major. "In terms ofthe legitimate aspects of our proposal, the state is between standards at this time so it would be a goodtime to attempt some innovations," Dr. Thompson said. She also pointed out that in a telephone surveyof teaching graduates of Eastern, Central and the University of Washington, Western had the highestnumber of graduates who were not hired. This is a result of not having an adequate background in thearea they will work in, it was believed. The committee urged formation of a "stop-gap type of program,"to be listed in the 1970-71 catalog, and the formation of an ad hoc committee to develop the elementary major. Two years ago a similar committee had advised them to stop what they were doing in theelementary major in existence then, and that the present proposals might be "getting us right back intothe position we were in previously by trying to institute this by September, 1970," Dr. R.D. Brown said.In voting to endorse the committee proposals, accepting the 1970-71 target date in principle, the Council referred the report to the education department for specific program proposals on elementary education. Abortion to be BOQ topic The Terrible Choice: The Abortion Dilemma was chosen Book of the Quarter(BOQ) for Winter, William H. O. Scott, BOQ Committee chairman, said last week. The book is a reportof an international conference on abortion, Scott said. The selection was made after Scott polled thecommittee members, the chairman said. "We had been waiting for the arrival of a book which still hasn't come," Scott said. Rather than select a book without first reviewing it, Scott decided to ask thecommittee's approval of a book on another topic. Militarism might be the topic for a future BOQselection, he said. "The book we have on militarism is good but the one we are waiting for might bebetter," he said. At press time, the committee had not outlined a program schedule for the BOQ. * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * IT'S CHRISTMAS HUBERT'S * featuring nationally known * brands of cosmetics andtoiletries * * for men and women AUBERT I { DRUG CO PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS BellinghamNational Bank Building M Mi. 734434^ Cornwall and Holly gt; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * • * * * * * * * * * ** * ' .

Are you one of the multi-millions of people in the world (America?) that are indifferent towardthe massive killing, foul play and violations of life in civilization"! Have you ever considered that yourcomfort and luxury of life depends upon another's misery, toil and deprivation?? Why do you supposethere are such things as slums, ghettos or poverty? Do you condone another human body being burnedor in any other way redeemed for the comfort of your futile lives or materialism? \s life a merecommodity to be regulated by the powers that be of man's technology? Is there a fact? American life istragically devastating. This society is our starting and stepping stone for the combatting of imperialism,fascism and world-wide political oppression. The norm and values of this demented America are hell-bent in its dogma. The life-style of America is exhausted and ill-conceived. America was founded upon ahe, that "White lie," and lies have been the predication of every institutional enterprise in this country'sentity (starting with middle class values . . . which are predominantly White when it comes to attainingthem). Middle class and upper class aspirants are basically to be held responsible for the maintaining of apartheid, imperialistic, and materialistic systems. Here in America, the home of the racist imperialistand dog eaters, we have a major amount of the world power and suppression established in our midst.Persons interested in working on the Western Front as Head photographer for next quarter shouldcontact the Western Front office in the basement of the Viking Union.

Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday -Saturday It is of dire urgency for contented, racist, apathetic White and Black people to realize that thepowers that be are dependent upon a scapegoat. A whole lot of 'em! Right now, the White powerstructure is wielding power right and left and the little White child gets more crumbs off the floor thannon-Whites. The Black man in America is the effigy, but what happens when he is exhausted? This c ar n i v o r o u s country is politically, economically and socially dependent upon a sacrifice, a human'sflesh and blood is the sustenance of its foul entity. One must realize with speed of fear that he is notfree. America is not to continue in its present course. A major problem that faces American peopletoday is race. Racism in this country is merely a tool to keep the masses of ethnic backgrounds fromfocusing in on the real problem—the initial sin of man dominating man. The powers that be are awarethat someone has to be slightly favored—slightly, a difference in the approach of domination butessentially the end is achieved. The White man must realize his poverty of the mind is a far worse thingthan being materially without. The Black man is being maimed and murdered here in America becausehe is not free and he aspires to be without the burden of the White man. In countries abroad, the Blackman is bearing guns to annihilate any intruder upon his sacred ground of suppression. As was saidearlier, the Black man is not free here in American society. His every move is calculated beforehand bya White hand. It is at a very crucial point . . . if the Black man can relieve himself of racial conflictions or suppress them and be willing to call on the aid of the child of the oppressor-the White child-to come tohelp him destroy his White father. As I said, it is at a very crucial point. Aardvark loves bookworms ^Island in the Sound, a non- .-fiction book that explores Puget Sound's island life, is now in a Ballantinepaperback for $1.25.

Some students can rejoice and plan for an un-draft-inhibited future.Some must resign themselves to eventual induction in the army. The fairness of the lottery isdebatable. It is true that it was up to chance; those who drew low numbers will be inducted, those with relatively high numbers will probably escape the service. This is fair as far as the chance principlegoes but one factor which isn't fair is the ll-S college deferment. This deferment apparently will continue in effect, making it possible for the low number people to postpone their military tour. While this is arelief to those on this campus with low numbers, it still must be realized that this deferment isdiscriminatory: it allows those with enough money to go to college and avoid the draft; those withoutsufficient funds are inducted. To be really fair, the Selective Service would abolish all draft deferments forother than health or hardship reasons beginning with next year. We suppose this idea is anathema tothose of us with low numbers, but since the debate over the fairness of the draft has resulted in this half-way lottery change, it is obvious that if the government wanted to be really fair they would abolish student deferments as well. When one reached 19 he would sweat out the draft for a year, then forget it. Hewould not be drafted after that except in case of a national emergency. This seems as fair as the ideathat once was circulated suggesting that all young men be inducted at 18 or 19, even if disabled in some way. Everyone would serve in some way, be it a desk job or front-line action. It would be nice if theSupreme Court would find involuntary servitude unconstitutional in the near future, but alas, dreaming won't do any good. An all volunteer army would be nice, and may be instituted once the Vietnam warends. If indeed it does. Until then the law of chance will determine who will live and who will die, who willlose a limb and who will not. —Mike Gowrylow An ode to the other silent majority The only stars tohang in black skies over Vietnam this Christmas will be parachute flares dropped out of aircraftsearching for more humanity to destroy. The only bright green and red lights will flash in the cockpit ofa gunship helicopter, signaling the pilot that his death-dealing rockets are ready to fire. The only cheerysmiles will be pasted on the faces of Red Cross workers selling cigarettes in a field hospital crammedwith wounded. The only sleigh rides will be in the back of an armored personnel carrier winding its waythrough bomb craters on another search and destroy mission. Once again Christmas crosses the pathof war. Perhaps for a millisecond in history men will lay down their weapons to observe a paper peace, only to pick up their rifles and bombs and take up where they left off. Someday, maybe, men of different colors, religions, tongues and ideologies will crawl out of the muddy trenches of misunderstandingand discover that it's less bloody to give peace a chance.

V . ^ V . 0 , W gt; ' ^ o o , ' v . ^ . *JI It's happening SST- a rational need? JOHN MILES contributor The SST developmentproject raises far-reaching and critical value issues. Anthony Wayne Smith of the National ParksAssociation brilliantly summarizes these issues in a recent issue of National Parks Magazine. This SSTproblem is of such importance that we should consider his comments at some length. "Measured against any rational scale of human values, the SST is not desirable, but highly objectionable. "The basic valuejudgments, the telic presuppositions, on which the SST project is based, like too many moral postulatesof the industrial society, East and West, are false, and may lead to catastrophic results. "Moving forwardwith SST presupposes speed as a value. "The true values in transportation would be comfort, safety,convenience, and the leisurely enjoyment of the journey. "Air travel at moderate speeds and altitudes, with the magnificient views of the world it affords, can be an inspiring experience; high-speed, high-altitudeflights eradicate this experience. "SST presupposed proximity as a value; Tokyo, Buenos Aires, andLondon are to be brought as close as possible to New York. "Judging by the weekend exodus, mostAmericans think their big cities are hell from which to escape. "We doubt that many Japanese andArgentinians are anxious to hurry into Manhattan. "Most non-human animals have better sense thanpresent-day humans; the birds space themselves out; distance, not proximity, will be a guiding value inbuilding the hoped-for world community in the generations ahead. "Noise will be an intolerableaccompaniment of SST. Sonic booms 50 miles wide will trail their destruction across continents andoceeans, shattering the peace of the city, countryside, and wilderness. "The ear of industrial man isbeing deafened physically by the surrounding noise; his organism as a whole, physical and psychic, may seem to be acquiring tolerance, but profound injury is more probable. "The values of silence and quietude must be re-established in place of noise and tolerance for noise. "The destruction of the life-environmentthat will be wrought by the SST will not be limited to sonic booms. Vast Supersonic jetports will beneeded, leveling farmland, forest, wilderness, and human habitations. "The recently proposed Floridajetport is but one horrible example. "More gravely, the SST project is based on competition as a value,whereas all the forces of history move us imperatively toward cooperation instead. "We should becollaborating internationally with other nations having air transport facilities in developing a world-widetransportation system, not competing ruthlessly in the waste of resources and the ruination of the earth."Finally, there is a basic presupposition of impotence, of national powerlessness, in our handling of thismatter. "It is said that we must join in the competition, lest others capture the leadership or bankrupt thenation by draining away foreign exchange. "But what is needed is competence, not impotence-the ability to shape historical events to humane purposes." Welj said, Mr. Smith!, . . . ,, . . , , . . . , . . . .,._._ ---------- Western Front - 1969 December 9 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, December 9, 1969 Western Front feedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedba Landlord defends withheld damage deposits Editor: I would like to reply to the three students, Vicki Gaunt,Cyndie Tipton and Pam Collins, who wrote to you complaining about the amount they were charged fordamage. I am the student landlord they were complaining about. The apartment was furnished and allthe utilities were paid for $125.00 a month. All four bedrooms were also furnished and the rent was thesame for either three or four girls. They chose to have three, otherwise the rent would have been $31.25a month each. Does this sound like the over-crowded and high-priced rentals for students? Theircomplaint, however, was the amount they were charged for the damage they admitted causing. Firstthey said they were charged $15.00 for one panel of a curtain which they had set on fire. The living room contains three windows, thus six panels, and anyone with even an elementary knowledge of sewingknows that you cannot purchase the same material a year later, therefore all six panels had to bereplaced. Also, someone has to make and hang these curtains and labor does have a value. Next wehave the cigarette burns. The worst burn did cover approximately one square foot of the rug. What dothey suggest—that I cut it out and leave a hole in the rug? Furthermore, one of the burns in the tabletop was nearly 3/4 of an inch deep and about two inches in diameter. That does not sound like a minorcigarette burn, does it? The burn in the couch arm can only be repaired by removing a portion of material from the back of the couch and re weaving it into the burned hole. This service is not done free!Perhaps the rug with its seven burns could be bought at the Goodwill for $15.00. I believe that Goodwillfurniture is inadequate for student housing. Students who suggest that this type of furniture is sufficientcertainly cannot expect an improvement in the deplorable sub-standard housing that exists in the area.They go on to say that I am a struggling student who owns my own home and car. What my personalstruggles are and what personal property I have is completely irrelevant as to whether they should payfor damage they admitted having done. They also said, "How could he sympathize with us—he doesn't know poverty." I think most students will agree that another problem in the housing crisis is theshortage of housing. These girls decided that they did not want a fourth girl and left the fourth bedroomvacant. Anyone who is willing to pay the extra amount of rent rather than have another roommate iscertainly not a poverty case! In twelve weeks they caused eleven significant burns; in my opinion this iscarelessness. Their letter and this letter is sound evidence of the careless and irresponsible actions of a few of Western's students. Clearly there is a housing crisis. The sub-standard housing must beimproved and the over-charging of rent has to be stopped. Illegitimate complaints will only lead to afurther separation of landlord and tenant. Honest and responsible action on the part of students as wellas landlords is necessary if the current housing crisis is to be improved. Gary McDonald Suggestsreasons for no cigarette ban Editor: I find it ironic that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has banned cyclamates—I note that part of the ban was lifted recently—because some have beenshown to cause cancer in rats, yet has not banned cigarettes. As we have been informed by the samedepartment, cigarettes are, of course, a definite and dangerous threat to health and life when used over a long period. Ho-hum. So are automobiles. There are several reasons why there is no ban. First, thetobacco industry is controlled by a handful of powerful men who would put up nearly as big a fuss at any attempt to shut down their plants as Ford and friends would should a nationwide ban on internal-combustion engines ever be called for (and that time may be closer than we think). Besides, if thetobacco men could not sell tobacco, our benevolent government would undoubtedly subsidize them fortheir loss. Second, the Southern Congressmen would no more allow such a ban than they would allow a ban on the use of cotton! Third, and I think the strongest reason, is that the public requires more thanjust a report from the Surgeon General to get up tight. Even though a heavy smoker realizes the danger, the realization is at a "head" level and not a gut level. If he found that he himself had emphysema, or ifsomeone close to him died from lung cancer or had to have his larynx removed, the guy would have agut level of realization. But, unfortunately, perhaps he could not quit even with a strong desire to do soafter years of the habit. Even if there was a ban, think of the black market that would develop. It wouldmake the prohibition era seem like nothing. No, I doubt if there ever will be a ban on the use of tobacco, and I doubt even more if such a ban would work. This brings up the question, does our government havethe right to legislate against slow suicide? But, smokers, don't say you haven't been warned.

The item of prime importance for almost all mymale (and many female) friends today is what numbers everyone has in the pool. I want to state that Ihave no concern for my number, or anyone else's. We now accept a new method of determining whowill be forced into the illegal, brutal, degrading and immoral military of the United States. As long asanyone is being forced to plan or execute the death of human beings as an integral part of the worldpolicy of this country, I cannot be proud to be a part of it. I consider the fact that some men can nowplan their lives without fear of having to take part in the institutionalized war our nation lives, to befortunate. But until no man is conscripted and force is rejected as a means of solving world problems, Icannot be happy about such minor reforms as a draft lottery. It makes no difference to me whether Irefuse to kill as number one or number one thousand in the lottery. As long as this type of oppressionexists in any form I will oppose it.

In a letter to the College, the A. S. WickConstruction Co. gave assurances that barring unforeseen circumstances, four dorms would be turnedover to Fairhaven by Dec. 31. Delays could be caused by poor weather, slow delivery by suppliers orlabor problems. The addition of these four to the four dorms already occupied will enable all Fairhavenstudents to move on campus and out of the Hidden Valley trailers. One dorm will also be available forhousing Western students. According to Dick Norris, assistant dean for student affairs, room changeswill be made to remove overcrowded conditions in the occupied dorms. An attempt will be made to b a la n c e t h e dorms co-educationally and by classes. Any students who are to be moved from theirpresent room will be notified before the end. of this quarter, Norris said.

The ASlegislature last week resolved to cut all homecoming expenditures from future student budgets. Theresolution followed a steady decline in student interest for homecoming events, according to studentleaders. Legislator Wally Sigmar explained that college students are more interested in activities whichare relevant to their education. "Homecoming is dead and we are beginning a new college era," Sigmarsaid. Legislator Gary Evans told the student legislature that he took a personal poll of students a n dfound that an "overwhelming majority" were outright against homecoming. The resolution said that funds previously earmarked for homecoming could be better used in other areas of direct student interest andconcern. Two legislators, Mimi Brooks and Gail Denton, cast the only dissenting votes on theresolution.

I am aware that lists of recipients are made available only to the departments of which the recipients are members. This is not, however, the same as a published list widely and easily available to the entire academic community.Not long ago Skagit Valley College published in the Bellingham Herald the list of those members of itsfaculty who had earned merit increases. Western can do no less. As a matter of fact, all salaries are amatter of public record if one wishes to go to the trouble of checking them in official material fromOlympia. The quasi-secrecy which surrounds the names of faculty chosen for merit increases can onlygive rise to charges of political log-rolling and academic nepotism. Indeed, precisely such thinking hasbeen expressed from time to time by responsible faculty on our campus. As a taxpayer I have a vestedinterest in knowing how these monies have been spent and under what criteria the expenditures weremade. It is my understanding that the Faculty Council has requested the wide publication of thesenames. I urge you to honor that request. Frederick E.

Dr. Ronald J. Taylor, associate professor of biology and chairman of the ArboretumCommittee, spoke to the group of interested students and faculty concerning the need to developSehome Hill in a way that was useful to both the city and the college. Taylor displayed an architect'sdrawing showing one proposed development which would include green houses, picnic areas, ponds,walking and bicycle paths, public rest rooms, a lookout tower and an amphitheater. He explained howthis development would serve the community as a park and also serve the college as a place to studyplant communities native to the Northwest as well as those communities which are not normally foundhere. A good example of typical natural flora—hemlock, alder and fir—is already growing freely on thecollege-owned land on the west side of Sehome Hill. Plans call for developing other plant communitiessuch as the deciduous forests of the Midwest, Taylor explained. Garden clubs and other civil activitiesmight take on planting or helping to finance the project, he said. Pool, table tennis tourneys startCampus-wide games of pool and table tennis are being held in the VU lounge this week. "Twenty-fivedollars will be awarded to each winner of double elimination tournaments for both pool and table tennis," Bob Force, recreation chairman, said. The Brunswick Corporation has installed a new table for theevent. LIGHTING LAMPS across Railroad Avenue from the Leopold Motor Inn "We will place anemphasis on the ecological approach to development," Taylor said. The biggest problem facing thecommittee is getting the "city fathers" interested in the proposal. Herb Olson of the city park boardsenses that the college wants to make a "land grab," according to Taylor. Plans call for, the city tocommit Sehome Hill for the college to develop as an arboretum. Olson believes that Western shoulddevelop the land it already owns. The strip of land at the western and northern slopes of Sehome Hillwould not be easily adapted since it is so steep and much more land than that owned by the collegewould be needed. Taylor mentioned use of the LID land east of Sehome Hill in the future. There hasbeen some "chatter" about developing Sehome Hill as a ski area using artificial plastic snow, accordingto Taylor. "A minimum cost of $1 million has been estimated," Taylor said. Barney Goltz, director ofcampus planning, has said that the city would probably have to float a bond, according to Taylor. Taylorsaid he believes that money could be obtained from state and federal matching funds. The ArboretumCommittee was conceived by college president Charles Flora two years ago and has received fundsfrom the state to study the arboretum proposal. The committee meets at 4 p.m. the first and thirdTuesdays of each month in OM-C. EQC meets at 4 p.m. Wednesdays in VU-354.

Gold, in an inflammatory letter to Agnew's aide, said that he couldn't offer the Nixon administration suggestions on how to get young people interested in government because he didn'tbelieve that the administration "is even interested in solving basic problems facing the government today." Gold also called the Nixon administration "a corrupt, inefficient and immoral anachronism."

Kaufman,associate professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, told about 300 student that thedemocratic system has three main functions: to attempt to produce national stability; to produce correctand just policies, and develop human personality. Kaufman was one of the founders of the teach-inmovement to protest the war in Vietnam. "We in the movement were offended by President Lyndon B.Johnson's betrayal of his 1964 mandate," Kaufman said. He later became instrumental in the move to"dump Johnson," which culminated in the candidacies of Sen. Eugene McCarthy and the late Sen.Robert F. Kennedy, according to Kaufman.

A publicreception will follow the program. Admission is free. More than 30 students attended the first massmeeting of the Silent Majority in L-2 last Wednesday. Chairman Lynn Osier told the group that thebasic concept of the group was: "We feel that the majority of students on this campus cannotassociate with the present organized student groups on this campus." Osier, along with other steering committee members Tom Wyngard, Forrest Miller and Allen Rech, said that the group was not politicalor reactionary, and not just in opposition to the Radical Coalition. "All we are is students, we arereacting to the whole campus spectrum." Osier stated that the group had received surprising"unquotable support" from some administrators and faculty who agreed with what they were doing.They too have to be silent, because they can't take a stand on student groups. The Silent Majority is not, Osier said, in alliance with any other group of students, although they have talked to leaders of othergroups, including the Students for Responsible Expression, some of whose leaders addressed themeeting. Osier also stated that certain people on campus had told them they do not deserve to be here.When questioned about this, he stated that these people did not include anyone in authority or studentgovernment. He also stated that people had told him that it would never get off the ground and if it did, itwould never last. To this, Osier replied: "We can't be strong until we have the majority we're after, whichis not 3,501 — just enough to be strong enough to represent the majority of the students." Alsoattending the meeting were AS President Noel Bourasaw, AS Vice President Dave Davis andAdministrative Assistant, Bob Partlow. All took issue with various points raised by the group. Bourasawchastized the leaders, "for not doing your homework." He stated that they had been misinformed aboutsuch issues as the calendar, the Radical Coalition and military recruitment on campus because they had not attended any of the public meetings concerning these issues. When questioned about hisrelationship to the Radical Coalition, Bourasaw stated that he was not a member, and that studentgovernment and the Radical Coalition are two separate organizations. "I am President of the AS, not theRadical Coalition," he said. Partlow added that the doors of student government were always open tothem or any group who wanted to get started. He also stated that money was just as available to theSilent Majority as to the Radical Coalition to bring speakers here. Davis, Bourasaw and Partlow allagreed that it was good to see the group going and stated that they would be glad to help get theminvolved. Bourasaw passed around a.list of committee positions available on campus-wide decision-making bodies. When asked what the group hoped to accomplish, it was stated that: 1. It will getapathetic people to become involved, and 2. take the concern of the left-out students and take stands onissues representing this majority. Osier stated that they had been attacked because of the colors oftheir badges. The reason they were chosen was because "they are easily identifiable and pleasant tolook at" The mass meeting planned to break up into closed small committees, one of which would drawup a platform. Another mass meeting has not yet been announced. ---------- Western Front - 1968 November 19 - Page 2 ---------- % Western Front Tuesday, November 19, 1968 Crowning of Julee Brix as Queen highlights HomecomingWeek festivities Homecoming Royalty—(L-R) Jerry Henson, Rugby club escort for Sandy Madison,freshman princess, Ed Pederson, OCIC escort for Robin Johnson, sophomore princess, Al NeedierRugby club escort for Nancy Salmon, junior princess, Rich Blanc, rugby club escort for Feryll Gillam,senior princess, Jeff Zygar rubgy club escort for Julee Brix, Queen Sigrid XXX. —photo by Gable Poet tovisit Western Dale Nelson, who is currently in charge of the Olympia bureau of the Associated Press,will read selections from his poetry at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25 inL4.

'Tennessee Jones1 runs legislature By BOB PARTLOW AS Information "I wasborn in a little TVA town in the Tennessee hills and was delivered by a doctor who had to come 60 milesin a horse and buggy. He gave Tennessee sippin' whiskey to my mother during the operation." Soundlike the standard opening of a politican trying to identify with the folks? Actually, it was thebeginnings of a present speaker of the AS Legislature, Greg Jones. Jones, who has been onLegislature 3 quarters and ran for AS President last Spring, said that he views the role of Legislature as one of "representing the students." He feels, however, that the present system of having 14 at-large legislators should be junked. He feels that a districting svstem should be set up with proportionalrepresentations from on and off campus. There are a couple of solutions which he favors to the problemof being more representative to the students. The first is to have students, "rap at legislators" at the end of the legislative meetings. This he feels, would give them a way to air their complaints. The second isthe pollingagen-r New Writing Prize-winning poems, short stories J and novel excerpts by || twenty-twocollege writers— J§ the best of campus writing today y^j WASHINGTON ITU SQUARE PRESS, INC.630 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10020 A Subsidiary of Simon Schuster, Inc. cy which the. legislature is currently working on. Jones states that it would be for all campus, highly professional, and non-political. He stated that this would help legislators determine what students really wanted. "Rightnow, each student legislator has to represent 7,000 ideas." Jones, who grew up in the South, mostly inLouisiana, has been involved in student government as long as he has been in college, including a jobas Social Affairs Chairman at the University of Alaska where his father works as a lobbyist for a largeoil company. One of the issues which has received a large share of attention in Legislature this yearhas been recruiting policy, which Jones calls, "a large moral issue." The Legislature will draw up what it considers a reasonable recruiting policy, as will the Academic Council and the Faculty Council. All three will then be presented to the Board of Trustees, where a campus policy incorporating all views will be formed. As far as the all-campus Academic Senate is concerned, Jones feels personally thatstudents must have one-third representation on it. He would like to see these students take theplace of the present legislature, but still have student services to handle purely student affairs. Jonesalso explained that legislature is working through the Student Academic Advisory Board, "becausethey get things done" to handle such education problems as making Ed 301 an •elective, eliminatingPE as a requirement for graduation, and putting students on the Academic Council, where curricularpolicy is determined. If anyone wants to talk to this "poor boy from the Tennessee Hills," he is availableupstairs in the Viking Union most days, and at the Legislature meetings at 4 p.m„ Tuesdays.

"The dominant world culture must learn to change frominside," Theobald said. Theobald subscribed to politics the role of "making intelligent choicesimpossible." "Politics is the quintessent art of doing what you believe is best for you, regardless of what it does for the rest of society," he added. Theobald emphasized the importance of the computer inour society. "The computer is becoming the new god; it will answer the question you ask it." Hereceived applause when he added, "Somebody built into alL computer gaming on Vietnam that if youbomb countries, they tend to surrender. Being British^ I'm still struggling with that one." Anotherdominant part of our society, according to Theobald, is "brain power." Our social and educational system "makes it impossible to think," he said, Theobald discussed four traps" which, he said, explain why our society isn't changing rapidly enough. The "war trap" occurs, ao» Educational goals outweighpolitical/ says Bourasaw cording to Theobald, when a "country becomes sufficiently angry with another.War is the only way out." Theobald added, however, that "the only way to settle the war question is toaccept that war is now infeasible." The second "trap," Theobald said, is the "efficiency trap." "In oursociety, you must be efficient. But what happens to the human being?" he said. Another "trap" is the"consumption trap." "For our society to survive everybody must have a job. We must consumeeverything that can be produced," Theobald said. "But most of us are suffering he added. "We need toslow down in order to get enjoyment out of life." The final "trap" Theobald mentioned was the "education trap." "In order to get a good grade, you must feed back (to the Professor) what you've been told."Thinking causes confusion. Theobald said. "If you can't get to the professor and tell him you're confused, he'll give you an F. If you get F's, you go to Vietnam." Theobald advocates the guaranteed annualwage as a solution to the problems he mentioned. Theobald concluded by saying, "You can eitherget change or you can get credit for change." Noel Bourasaw, AS president, was on the receiving end ofdozens of questions at the Bitch-in held Tuesday. Student Government representatives said theresponse to their Bitch-in last Tuesday was very good except that not enough complaints wereregistered by anti-student-government groups. "We hope that representatives of the Silent Majority andthe Students for Responsible Expression will show up this Tuesday for Bitch-In n," NoelBourasaw, Student President said. Housing for students was the main complaint of the fifty or sostudents present. Bourasaw noted that other colleges have gone in to co-op housing for students. A possible solution to the complaints of the students would be a type of rent escrow account into which monies would be paid under protest and would not be turned over to the landlord until certainconditions had been met, Bourasaw said. Bourasaw pointed out that some, but not all of theproblems with Sehome Terrace have been worked out amicably and that m ore dialoge should be sought between rentee and rentor. The high point of the discussion on housing was a question from astudent who was not allowed pete in his residence, but the student wanted to know what to do aboutrats in his house. Bourasaw read from a press release in which he warned the students to be wary of the extremists from both sides of the political spectrum. This was in response to a news release sent tolocal media by Young Republicans who are sponsoring the Students for Responsible Expressiontable in front of the Coffee Shop. Other problems aired concerned selection of entertainmentgroups, alcohol on campus, Committee circulates petition 'Our goal is not to debate politics, but toprovide a better educational environment for Western Students," AS President Noel Bourasaw told ameeting of the Washington Club in downtown Bellingham, Friday. 'The problems leading to campusprotests are essentially political ones," he said, "and eldom do they center on academic issues."Bourasaw said educational problems were more his concern as President and he participated inmost political arguments as an individual student. The campus protests starting in the early 60's, hestated^were caused partly when students fac-d a change from personal contact with profs to classeswith 1,000 students. He hoped that as administrators, faculty, and students unite o form solutions tothese prob-ems, that violence on campus will recede. 'Our educational institutions are the key to anyharmony in the nation's future," he stress-d. "We are glad to have a man like President Flora whorealizes the need for change and is tielping gain a place in this change for students," he con-inued.Bourasaw also went on to re-ount the change in emphasis and power in the university over the last fewcenturies. Questions from the audience of 25 included several subjects such as violence, educationaltheory and Fairhaven college. After the talk, many members of the audience praised Bourasaw foropening upblocked lines of communication between downtown and the college. One member said, "Youwere much saner and logical than I thought you would be and I wish you and your student governmentgood luck." Students for Responsible Expression (SKE) is a committee designed to inform students of plans being made by student groups to disrupt the academic environment, Young Republican (YR)President Glenn Dobbs said last week. SRE is currently conducting a petition drive to demonstratesupport of disciplinary action. The petition states that those singing "respectfully but emphatically urge the prompt and permanent expulsion by the administration of any student or group" that infringes onthe rights of other students. Bill Giesy, committee chairman said. According to Dobbs, the committee was formed following some discussion about the "small groups of obstructionists concerned withdisrupting the academic environment of Western." SRE was initially formed within the YR club,Dobbs said, but now has many members from other student organiza* tios.

That organization is the Associated MenStudents (AMS). Despite the usual lack of participation by students, AMS has managed tosuccessfully sponsor four events this quarter and has planned several more. AMS Week receivedsome criticism because of several events that never happened. When you realize that five or tenmen did all the work it is amazing that FOUR events were successful. The "Art of Western Men" exhibit, although poorly represented, happened. The "Dating Game" and the "Car Smash" were other successfulevents. But, the "Harvest Moon Ball" featuring the "City Zu" was the event that probably won't beequalled, again this year. It was the first time any top-notch' band has played for an informal date - affairat Western. The kids that went loved it; the kids that didn't go, missed the best dance of the year. AMS members don't want to let their past performance speak for them, however. A Playboy magazinePlaymate visitation is scheduled for Dec. 6. A smoker, co-sponsored with the *W club, will be heldNov. 23. There is also a possibility that Miss USA can appear on campus this quarter. AMS are makingall these events happen with less than $1,000, while the Associated Women Students has almost $5,000 and the Activities Commission has more than $43,000. Last year, AMS was given only a fall quarterbudget, to prove themselves. I think they already have. AMS will have accomplished more by the end ofthis quarter, than they did all last year. It is now up to the AS Legislature to provide funds for winter andspring quarters. It is also up to the men to participate by attending AMS meetings and events, or AMS will be non-existent. If five men can accomplish so much, think what 50 could do? It's too bad that sucha small percentage make all the decisions for all the men. AMS can be anything the men want it to be,but it will be nothing without more help. —Forrest Anderson AMS President A letter home If you havefound yourself writing a letter like this home to 'Mater and Pater/ you'd better wake up to what college and life is all about. Dear Mom and Dad; I'm really enjoying myself at Western. My classes are just fine. Infact, I'm getting an "A" in physical education — isn't that great? Of course, I do have a few slightdeficiencies (math, humanities and chemistry) but that's no problem — what's important is that I'mdoing well in my major. I'll never have any use for those general education courses anyway. Besides;you must realize that college is harder than high school; and that they do expect your grade pointaverage to drop slightly during the first quarter. There are a lot of fun organizations on campus and theyare real active in the school. A couple of weeks ago one of the groups picketed a local grocery store —I'm not quite sure what it was all about, but it had something to do with grapes — maybe they weresour. There are always interesting speakers in the Viking Union. I can never find time to listen to them,but I truly believe in whatever they support. I'm really surprised about how much I've become aware of lifesince I've been here. I started reading newspapers and I read them almost every day now. I was never so shocked though. Why, did you know that there are countries still fighting for their independence and fortheir civil liberties? I think that's really horrible — and then those starving children—even in America!Oh, well, there's nothing I can do about it —after all, it's their problem. Your loving offspring, JoeFreshman —Adele Saltzman Apathy or confusion? Moderate students feel they are bombarded on allsides by the Radical Coalition via VU activities, publicity in the Western Front and other mass media.The impression has been indented upon "returnees" as well as freshmen that the Radical Coalitioncontrols the campus. Whether this assumption is true or not, it is undeniable that the Radical Coalition is the most vocal and active of all campus clubs. An attempt to counter the charge that the school wascatering to one club was made at the Bitch-In held in the VU lounge last Tuesday. Noel Bourasaw, ASpresident, acknowledged the student's unhappiness over the attention focused on Radical Coalitionactivities. Last Thursday at the Silent Majority meeting, Bourasaw also told the members that they werewelcome to form at Western. Bourasaw said, however, that the Radical Coalition receives publicitybecause they are well organized and active. "Any student group wishing to organize and receiverecognition may present a petition to the AS Activities Commission. If accepted, AS will give the group asmall budget to help them get started, and increase it in the following years," Bourasaw said. OddBodkins The theory is democratic and fair. However, many students not professing radical ideals mayfind it difficult to determine what would be encompassed in the new organization's program andplatform. Chronic malcontents and firebrand "change the system and the world" types appear to naturally gravitate to each other and formulate into vocal and active groups. Some students find it difficult togather a large group of people together who express similar beliefs, to counter the "solo spotlight" of theRadical Coalition. Simply being told to organize is not sufficient. The AS would be helping confusedstudents if they put out a pamphlet describing methods of forming a group and obtaining officialrecognition from the AS Activities Commission. If apathy on the part of moderate students towardforming a group is the problem, nothing from . the AS will help; if confusion on how to form a group andthe process of receiving official recognition is the stumbling block, a sense of direction and guidancefrom the AS will help stimulate interest in creating new organizations, and will help to alleviate the lackof moderate groups on campus. —Marilyn Williams ARISE JTURKENS OFTHE NATION!

It was a fiasco in the eyes of nearly theentire audience. The trio would have been good in a cocktail lounge, or to listen to while eating dinner,but it was uninteresting to us because it was inappropriate. The Folk Singers were ok but we have heard better. Then came the skits, or whatever you could call them. Funny? To whom? A twelve year oldperhaps. The boys sitting in front of us had better lines than the people onstage. We rarely heard theactors on stage because of their inability to project and their uncertainty of what they were doing. Theskits were poorly done, (were they rehearsed?) and lacked sense. It seems to us that a collegeproduction would have a little more coherence and entertainment value. We did not mind paying thequarter, it was the wasted time that could have been put to better use.

Noel Bourasaw AS President WE PONT HAMEACHANCE... samik For Silent Majority Editor: This letter is in response to Marc Mercer's letter in theNovember 12 issue of the Front His letter is very critical and sarcastic of the Silent Majority. It is myopinion that he is merely loudmouthing his complaints against the truly concerned members of themajority. But one thing is missing: Mercer offers no clearcut answer or answers to specificproblems. He can only ask; he can only criticize. I am going to join the Silent Majority simplybecause I do not believe that a small percentage of individuals should voice all the policies of Western. This group is known universally as the Radical Coalition. It believes in a phalanx of ideas which arerevolutionary and somewhat crazy. As witness, I ask you how can a militaristic group such as theBlack Panthers be in an organization with the Peace and Freedom Party? You want more studentfreedom — swell — yet you crucify concerned Americans (President Johnson) andadministrators (President Flora). I would urge anyone concerned to join the Silent Majority and beheard. It's about time! Yours truly, Rey Pascua Freshman, Political science Grapes off Wrath Editor:This is in reDlv to the two girls who wrote *Vm sure glad you decided I didn't have to eat grapes" and " . . . yellow is one of my favorite colors — especially for newspapers." Ladies: In case you don't know,the grape workers of California are trying to organize a Union so that they can get a decent wage forlong hours of stoop labor in the hot sun. Many of these people don't make enough money to buydecent clothing or food for their children. In many instances, the children themselves have to drop outof school to help support the family. For them Christmas is just another day. But these proud people do not ask for charity— only decent wages which all people deserve. The growers in turn, refuse to listenand many people, Richard Nixon among them, back them up. But those who listen least of all arethose who in the 1920's and '3CS were trying to organize and who now at last have it made, so theydon't give a damn about those who don't The Western Front urges its (Continued on Page 5) ---------- Western Front - 1968 November 19 - Page 5 ---------- Letters to the Editor (Continued from Page 4) readers not to buy grapes, not because it's trying tocontrol your mind, but rather because it's right to care about your fellow man. Maybe the Front feels that something is wrong when recruiting for the purpose of killing becomes more important than helping asuppressed, starving people. Many of the students people call "yellow" spend entire Saturdaysmarching in front of En-nen's hoping that they can convince people not to buy grapes. Sometimes allthey get for their efforts are aching legs, hungry stomachs, feel numb with cola, insulting remarks(everything from Communists to assholes by respectable middle-age, middle-class people) and in someinstances some well-thrown rotten grapes. If "yellow" is caring about your fellow-man so much thatyou're willing to take all that hassle, then yellow is my favorite color too. Eat well ladies, some people don't eat at all — enjoy your grapes. Julie Gonzalez junior, Sociology ~ Radical vs. liberal Editor: Iam dismayed at the deluge of letters to the editor that are vindictive of the Radical Coalition and, itwould seem, just radicals in general. Surely the students who write these letters are not sufficientlyacquainted with the cruelty with which the system puts down those who would attempt to change ittoward more humanitarian ends. Surely they have forgotten that radicalism is the mother of unions,Social Security, unemployment compensation, etc. Otherwise I feel they would not be so reckless intheir accusations. Radicals are not born that way. In most cases they are but liberals who gotinvolved. After realizing the futility of involvement within the present structure, the liberal is confrontedwith two choices. One is to become disgruntled and merely view politics. The otter is to performoutside the current framework of the society. To choose the former, although most people dof is to be disregard the responsibility of intellect and be derelict in the first requisite of a successful humansociety. side of the system (i.e.. to become radical), is to dedicate yourself to a hie of unendingvigilance, hope, despair, abuse and above all, constant hard work, hard work. A radical must be ateacher, student, activist, somewhat of a philosopher, a fervent believer in the worth andgoodness of man. and of mankind's ability to form a more perfect society. A liberal, on the other hand, need notparticipate in change beyond election day — a change which, unfortunately is only superficial If,however, he feels strongly enough about the issues and trys to tamper seriously with the system therewill come a time when he feels the pain of frustration. It is at this point that he understands he isplaying the role of a powerless pawn. It is at this point that he becomes a radical and begins toperceive the hidden nature of this brutal society. Sincerely, James Hix Freshman, history k pat for Jon-Jon Editor: On behalf of ourselves and other members of student government, we would like to thankretiring Elections Board Chairman Jon Murray. He has done an excellent job over the last threequarters at one of the least appreciated positions in student government. Because he has received so little recognition for the great amount of hard work he has done, we felt he deserved a public pat on theback for a job well done. Bob Partlow AS Administrative Assistant Noel Bourasaw AS President Draftcard turn-in Editor: To all free people, and for the enlightenment of those who are not yet free: Today, Iam re-emphasizing my views concerning military conscription and the foreign and domestic policies ofthe united States of America. I am not particularly skilled in either rhetoric or writing ability, mypower of persuasion lies in my actions. Approximately a year ago (November 1967), I wrote my draftboard, Local Board No. 2,Hackensack, N.J., that I was dropping out of school for financial reasons and to confront the illegal and immoral system of military conscription. At that time I requested aconscientious objector form, with the idea of applying for a CO. rating. Upon examining the form Irealized the absurdity of an individual, standing alone without the backing of a recognized institution, hoping to be accepted by the Selective Service. The Selective Service denies my power of individualresponsibility and I am reciprocating by denying their power of involuntary servitude. . On August21, 1968 I refused induction into the Armed Forces of the United States of America, and joined theswelling ranks of free men everywhere. Shortly thereafter I viewed that televised shame of our nationcalled the Democratic Convention, and decided that I would not participate in the presidential electionheld on November 5.

Love and Peace, Philip GeorgeO'Reilly III Front, Bourasaw's horn Editor: It appears that as Mr. Bourasaw's trumpet, the WesternFront does a top-notch job, but as a communications media, it fails miserably. It is always wonderful tohear about the antics of the Radical Coalition and the AS president, but what happens to all of the other organizations mat alsoex-ist and are also trying to get something done. We've heard rumors that AMSis bringing a Playboy Playmate to Western and if it is to come off AMS is going to need help. Strangelyenough we did not read this in the Western Front, which leads us to two conclusions. The first is thatwe are blind, which as far as we know isn't ture. The second is the Western Front feels that being Mr.Bour-awaw's trumpet is more important than letting the students know just exactly what is hap-Tuesday, November 19, 1968 pening on campus without the aid of a magnifying glass. If any of theseother organizations, such as AMS and AWS, are to get anything done mis year in the way of providing something for the students to do besides studying, all the time, the Western Front had better stoppublicizing their events on the head of a pin and do it so that normal human beings are able to read it.Sincerely, Carl Adler freshman, math Kreig R. McBride soph., general science Jim Blizard soph.,political science Bombing halt falso Editor: I would like to relate the following information to thereaders of this newspaper in hopes that a few more people may be enlightened. The elections areover; however, this information is still very much relevant toeach of our lives. This letter was sent tome by a serviceman aboard the USS CONSTELLATION: Dear jan, I guess you have heard of thebombing: halt over North Viet nam and I'm sorry to say that it will give Humphrey the edge over Nixon but that is why the Democrats arranged this TEMPORARY halt. Believe me, this war is still going withthe same vigor if not more and those many unfortunate Americans back home will believe that the war is almost over and that their sons can come home. I'm very distraught and have had my fill of corruptpolitical parties. If the Democrats get the presidency I'm very sure I will defect and leave my belovedcountry. The Republicans are not on the level either but they are a heck of a lot straight* er than theDemocrats' or at least they give that impression. The Captain of our ship told us of the halt and said hehon- Western Front S estly didn't know anymore about the halt other than we have stopped. Othersmay believe he is so uninformed of his moves but I do not. I wondered why he didnt want his followers tobe aware of politics and I know full well, why now. There will be no politics in the Kingdom if I can helpit. We will be bombing; North. Vietnam with the same intensity if not more by the middle of November if not sooner. I know now why we have been taking on more fuel and bombs than we usually do. Wewill have to move and bomb more after this halt ends to catch up with the build up that the North hasbeen doing while we were resting. Those back home do not know this and many never will before Hubert gets office. If Humphrey becomes President I could see no reason why I would want to be an Americancitizen, yes my America is beautiful and I love her but what good is beauty if it is ruled by evil. I mustclose I don't like to be this mad because I'm afraid I could honestly kill whoever the group thatperpetrated this halt to sway the fat, usually stupid American. It is for tnese people that could care if Ilive or died that I want to explain what is really happening. jan Pederson Soph., economics GOODFOOD GOOD BEVERAGE Cap Hansen's WASHINGTON STATE I.D.

Dobbs explained that the group, SRE, originally contained only two students, Dan Merry-field and himself, but that nowmore than 25 students were involved. The petition which they have been circulating, and which Dobbssaid Thursday had, "just over 1,000 signatures," urged the "prompt and permanent expulsion of anystudent or group so infringing upon the rights and privileges of their fellow citizens." It was stated byone Silent Majority member that to the best of his knowledge "all the members of the Silent Majorityhave signed the SRE petition." Dobbs stated that because the two groups are "philosophically veryclose," they could "work together and support each other," and that "a meeting of the leaders is called for." Dobbs pointed out that the SRE is still an ad hoc committee and has no statewideconnections, although other SRE groups have formed at Central and the uw. The matter of the recallof AS President Noel Bourasaw, called Eclipse, was deferred until all the groups have enough supportto carry out such a move.

Bay, philosophy department chairman atthe University of Alberta, was the first of three guest lecturers who highlighted a political sciencesymposium at Western last week. "We must choose which of our manipulators (laws and institutions)we will go along with," Bay said. Bay discussed what he considered three requirements for self-expression: 1. Capacity 2. Opportunity 3. Enlightenment "Psychological freedom is the capacity toexpress yourself," Bay said. Dogmatism, which "thinks in terms of black and white," andauthoritarianism are two common neuroses in American society, according to Bay. "The neurotic buildscastles in the air; the psychotic lives in them. Psychiatrists charge rent onboth of them," Bay remarked."Social freedom is the opportunity to express yourself," Bay said. It is a "relative absence of perceivedrestraints," he added. "If you like being in jail, it isn't coercive to you. Jail isn't coercive if you take it forgranted," Bay said. Enlightenment, or "autonomous freedom," is the "ability to choose whether or not toconform to institutions or laws," Bay said. Bay emphasized that institutions must be judged on how they preserve human life. "Mother, apple pie, the Constitution, and even the FBI are not sacred; they must bestudied critically," Bay said.

Racism is 3-fold, Smith said. Its premise isthat "one group is by its very being bad, and another group is by its very being good/' Smith said.Racism provides also for a system of segregation which will "perpetuate the power" of a particular race,Smith said. "Genocide is the only ultimate consequence of racism," he said. Finally, racism contains a "philosophy of history," Smith said. The racist "cannot defy providence by abandoning segregation,"he added. Smith evaluated racism in four ways. First, racism "forces people to dehumanize oneanother," he said. The racist looks at the Negro as part of a mass race, rather than as an individual."God's love in Christ says to me that people have incredible significance," Smith said. Racism alsodenies "Biblical universalism which says that all men have fallen short of the glory of God," Smith said."There is nothing necessarily good about being white andtbere is nothing necessarily bad about beingblack," Smith said. Finally, "any church committed to a basic differentiation between black andwhite is denying the very intention of God," Smith said. "If we stand by and accept discrimination, we'recondoning it," Smith added. "The church should be that one body in society which is prepared to risk the call of God by refusing to be racist." "We need to recognize that a segregated church is blasphemy,and to recognize racism in our-seleves," Smith said. "Let's ask God for the strength to treat Blacks aspersons," Smith concluded. by SCOTT ANDERSON Exchange editor Dr. Robert Meade, psychology professor, will be off-campus winter quarter studying leadership and motivation among the Chinesepeople. Meade wouldnot disclose where these studies will be conducted. William r ~^rson, a student,willaccon.. , Meade as an aide during the three-month trip. Mea 1e has conducted previous research onmotivation and leadership in India. "Some things, psychologically sound here in America, are notnecessarily true in India," Meade said. Art students to organize Art students are uniting in a neworganization called the Art Students League. About 20 students interested in the formation of an art club met last week. According to those who attended the meeting, they hesitated to make the club official because they disliked the idea of writing a constitution, electing officers and finding an advisor. Thestudents finally decided to make the club recognized, so that funds could be obtained from legislature.The students elected: 1) Dan Michael — president pro-temp; 2) Jan Skinner — representative; 3) Pat Spark — representative; 4) Steve Wilson — secretary and 5) Thomas Schlotterback — advisor.These representatives and officers were appointed to write a proposed constitution by mis week.Goals suggested for the club's constitution include: NORTHWESTERN COMMERCIAL BANK 10-3MON.-FRI. F.D.I.C. MEMBER 445 High On Campus To Serve You Improvement of communicationbetween art students, teachers, and the public; exchange of art skills in different medias; curriculumchanges; a lounge area for art students; speaker visitations; field trips; and art shows, contests, andmore art around the campus. Art students will vote on whether to accept the proposed constitution at4:30 p.m. tomorrow in A-215. As a result of this research, Meade has become interested in the factthat culture affects psychological reactions. He now plans to broaden his research to other cultures,especially Asiatic. During the quarter, Meade will be working with a group of young refugees from RedChina, and hopes to do two things: 1) repeat observations on leadership, as in India; and 2) prepare for further research in motivation. Meade hopes to extend his research to other cultures. His presentfunds will allow him to study one other culture. Buddhist cultures in Thailand or Ceylon are beingconsidered by Meade for future study. Meade said his main concern in leadership is whether it is mosteffective in a democratic or autocratic atmosphere. Meade's studies indicate that leadership is mosteffective in the U.S. within a democracy, while among the Hindu peoples of India, leadership seems best under autocratic governments. Previously, Meade has worked in Rhodesia with Africans: and inLebanon and Jordan with the Arabs.

But until now you needed two or more separate solutions to properly prepare andmaintain your contacts. Not with Lensine. Lensine is the one lens solution for complete contact lenscare. Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the buildup of foreign deposits on the lenses. Andsoaking your contacts in Lensine overnight assures you of proper lens hygiene. You get a free soakingcase on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine. It has been demonstrated that improper storage betweenwearings may result in the growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and insome cases can endanger your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is sterile, self-sanitizing,and antiseptic. Just a drop or two of Lensine, before you insert your lens, coats and lubricates it allowing the lens to float more freely in the eye's fluids. That's because Lensine is an "isotonic" solution, whichmeans that it blends with the natural fluids of the eye. LENSINE Let your contacts be the conveniencethey were meant to be.

Third Half Tuesday, November 19, 1968 Western Front 11 bv PAT HUGHES Evco football teams hurtStature of Evergreen Conference football has fallen sharply this season. The past three seasons Easternhas held up the league's honor on the gridiron. This year the Savages lost coach Dave Holmes to Hawaii,an all-American quarterback, an outstanding halfback, and with them went any prestige toe conferencehad. Newly crowned champion, Central, managed a perfect 6«0 record in conference play, but havemore points scored against than for them, on the entire season. Eastern, with only a 3-6 record, is theonly team in the conference to score more than their opponents. They are also the only team noted foranything in the NAIA top-20 statistic ratings. They are 19th in rushing defense. Evco teams are only 1-11 against non-league opponents, and the average score against these opponents equals a 35-8 defeat.Western has the only victory for the league, a 7-6 decision over Simon Fraser. The Evergreen Conference does not give its members a chance to make a representative showing to other parts of the country.Since only four teams comprise the conference, they play each other twice on a home-and-home basisleaving the teams with only three or four openings to play other teams. In effect an Evco team only playssix or seven different opponents, instead of nine or ten. Expansion of the league is necessary if a highstandard of competition is desired. University of Puget Sound, the latest team to drop out of theconference, in order to promote a better brand of athletics is now an NCAA independent. The Loggers are3-0 against Evco competition and drubbed champion Central 37-6. They now have their sights set on aberth in the Camelia Bowl, sporting a 6-2 record, in only their second season out of the conference. Help is seen in the next couple of years when the new Evergreen State College in Olympia opens, it willtake more than this single addition to make the conference effective. Notice should be given to areasoutside the state. Portland State and Simon Fraser are two schools within adequate traveling distanceand both offer a wide range of athletics. Portland State is also an NCAA small college independent buthas had little success against other NCAA opponents. They have won two tough battles with EvergreenConference opponents. Only in their second year of varsity competition, Simon Fraser is an NAIAmember without a conference to play in. The Canadian school has had a hard time winning so far, butthey have always given Western a tough game. Football fortunately is toe conference's weakest area. All Evco teams have provided plenty of national recognition in all of the other sports, in years past. If toetrend doesn't continue this year the league's status will drop even lower. THREE WESTERNSTANDOUTS — Glenn Hadland (19), Rob Lonborg (32), Butts Giraud (77). Hadland, a freshman fromFranklin Pierce in Tacoma wound up the season as the Evco leader in total offense. He passed for 847yards with eight touchdowns and only five interceptions. He was also the teams leading scorer with 26points. Lonborg a sophomore was Hadland's top receiver with 28 catches. He led the team in rushing withan average of 3.6 yards a carry. Giraud, a Junior, has been a standout ori defense for two seasons. Thisyear he led the team in tackles from his tackle position with 106. photo by Clark Turkey trotting Sign-upsheets are now available for toe intramural Turkey Trot. The race will be held next Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 4:00 p.m. The Turkey Trot is a cross country race around Sehome HilL The course is abut one and one half miles long. Due to construction, toe usual course will have to be altered to permit running. Adiagram of toe course will be posted on toe intramural bulletin board.

The winning team will receive a large, live or frozen turkey. Entries must be in theintramural office (CV-112) by Monday, Nov. 25. J Viks end grid season with 33-0 bash By PATHUGHES Winning toe last game of a season helps ease the pain of a losing season. Western'ssmashing 33-0 triumph over toe Whitworth Pirates in Saturday's Homecoming game did more thanblur the image of toe Vik's 3-6 season record. Thoughts stretch to next season, when most of FredEmerson's freshman and sophomore squad are expected to return. Leading the attack in the Viksshocking season finale was freshman quarterback Glenn Hadland. HadlandjjtheEvergreen Conferencetotal offense winner passed for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 24 yards and another score.He amassed 966 yards in total offense, including 847 passing. It was toe most yardage passing byany Vik in the past 20 years and toe most total yards gained since Fred Emerson totaled 1,172 in1957. Hadland was also the teams leading scorer with 26 points. He threw eight touchdown passes and only had five intercepted. Elma sophomore, Rob Lonborg led the "big blue" in rushing and passreceiving. He averaged 3.6 yards a carry and caught 28 passes. The stocky halfback also scored twotouchdowns against the Pirates. One touchdown was a 45 yard jaunt, the longest run from scrimmageby a Viking this year. Lonborg was second in scoring on the team with 18 points. Western had theirbest afternoon of the year on defense, holding toe league's leading fround gainer Ken Surby to only 8yards rushing. Leading the charge was Butts Giraud with 14 tackles. He was the team leader in stopswith 106. Giraud also had two blocked punts to his credit. Freshman linebacker Mike Lynch wassecond in tackles this year with 89. A Canadian import, like Giraud, he also had four interceptions this season, including two against Whitworth. Team leader in interceptions was sophomore Vic Randall.The Burlington safety-flanker picked off five enemy aerials, including one he ran back 88 yards for atouchdown. Once again toe Viks finished the season with a superb effort. They scored more points inthis game than they scored in their first five put together. Emerson can optimistically look forward tonext season when he will still have a young, but well experienced team. MT.

Wasko hadreceived last quarter a 300-signature petition complaining of smoke and stagnant air in the room.Cost of the project will be $66, Wasko said. Reusing fee hike likely Room and board fees will probably be upped next fall, according to Joseph Nusbaum, college business manager. The amount ofincrease is not definite at this point, but Nusbaum estimated that room and board will be about $25more a year than it has been. This would raise the annual fee from $745 to about $770. Nusbaum saidthat the additional money is needed to help finance campus building projects such as a libraryaddition and Fairhaven College. The matter will be taken up this month before the Board of Trustees.Candidates to come Arrangement for return to campus of the college presidential candidates will bedecided at "an early meeting," Dr. Robert Lawyer, chairman of the Presidential Selection Committee,said yesterday.

Now, the committee and trustees will be making plans for the candidates'return to campus, so they can meet more extensively with students, faculty and administration,Lawyer said. He predicted this would be done in the next two weeks.

The largest month of grants prior to this was in June of 1965, when the collegereceived $575,000. That had included one single grant of $400,000. Last month's grants, from the federalgovernment and the Rockefeller Foundation, are for summer institutes and academic research projects.A $100,000 grant for continuation of "Project Catch Up" was the largest single grant in the recentpackage, and came from the Rockefeller Foundation. The program enables junior high school studentswho are potential dropouts to come to the campus during the summer for classes and activities. TheNational Science Foundation (NSF) has granted $71,770 for a summer institute in math and computerscience for college teachers, and $94,000 for an institute during the next academic year in mathematicsfor secondary school teachers.

AS ballot to survey ROTC and pass-fail ROTC and pass-fail surveys will be on the Feb. 15 Associated Students ballot, the A.S.Legislature decided Wednesday. The Student Academic Advisory Board (SAAB), which submitted theproposal, wants to sound out student opinion on ROTC and determine whether there is enough support for pass-fail to continue its research. The Legislature also approved a request for $500 to send 50 personsto the next student government workshop, at Harrison Hot Springs, B.C. In other action, Angus McLanewas unanimously named to SAAB.

Shakespeare's 'Dream' wakes up this week By JIM WALKER contributor To meet the variedtastes of theater-goers, every so often Bellingham offers a chance to see the living Shakespeare. Old Will is pulled from his restful sleep in the Stratford church cemetery, and his bones are kicked about thestage for three hours by modern thespians. In this tradition, Western Players, directed by Don Adams,will present perhaps Shakespeare's finest comedy, "A Midsummer- Night's Dream." The play opens at8:15 p.m. Thursday in the Auditorium, and will also run on Friday and Saturday evenings. Tickets areavailable at the VU. desk and at the door. Although written without formal source, the play is filled withpersonal and political allusions 'to the court of Elizabeth 1. Much of the satire will be lost to the modernaudience, who will hopefully be caught in the magical fantasy and poetic mood of the play. More thanmost of Shakespeare's works, "A Midsummer-Night's Dream" calls for the audience's imagination. It is aplay of love, but it is also dream and fantasy webbed in complication and comedy. The action is movedby character, and this cast certainly has their work cut out. The mood is enhanced by the set andlighting. For this performance, the set is designed by Dennis Catrell, with lighting by Terry Reiniger.Don Adams executed the costumes, and the job of choreographer is done by Michael Ingersoll. Thefamous plot follows the entanglements of two pairs of lovers — Hermia and Lysander, and Demetrius and Helena — whose affections are switched by actions of the mischievous Puck. The fairy queen, Titania,is also fooled with a love potion and falls in love with Bottom the Weaver, whose head has been turnedinto that of a donkey by Puck. Vagabond poet Edward English stopped at Western Friday afternoon tooffer his poetry on brotherly love and peace. Story on page 5. (Photo by Eagle e.t.) ---------- Western Front - 1968 February 6 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, February 6, 1968 BOQ panel agrees xOn Aggression' goes too far By DANMEINS FRONT staff The five members of last Thursday's Book of the Quarter panel agreed that theauthor of "On Agression" was making too big a jump in comparing animal aggressiveness to humanbehavior. The author, Konrad Lorenz, constructs a biological basis for his theory that aggression is aninstinct passed through the evolutionary scale by the selective process. hi the final chapter, Lorenzoffers substitution as a way in which the aggressive drive might be diverted. Dr. Paul Woodring of Fair-haven College, disagreed with this process. "Substitution/' he said, "often leads to scape-goating. Aman who comes home mad at his boss might take it out on his wife." Jim Thomas, English major, wasskeptical about athletics as a diversion for aggression. He pointed out that the Greeks held Olympicgames even in times of war.

"Anindividual," he said, "can go climb a mountain to let off somesteam," but he still remembers the offense when he comes down. Woodring agreed with the authorthat a sense of humor was a good substitute for human aggression. As for genetics, Bosch said, "Ithink that even Lorenz would agree mat we're not going to use selective breeding to control aggression." Woodring asserted that aggression needs to be controlled rather than eliminated. "Aggression isvery motivating," he said, "and we find it in everything we do: sports, business,"and even in school." Dr.Bosch pointed out tnat to be completely meek under aggression is to succumb and tobe destroyed. A people have "to develop aggression if they are on the border of an aggressive country." Woodring added that aggression is not an instinct but a behavioral response in the face of conflict Sino-soviet hatefor U.S. unchanged despite split "The Russians and the Chinese do not hate us less because oftheir problems," Sino- Raphael Green Sino-Soviet expert Soviet expert Raphael Green said lastTuesday. Green said neither country has given up their goal of Communist world domination. They justdisagree on how to achieve it. "It's not, if we should be buried, but how we should be buried." he said. The Communists are split on coexistence with (he West, Green said. Russia favors it, but China woulduse war to spread communism. Green said disputes between the two countries are nothing new. More than 900,000 square miles of land was taken from the Chinese by the Russian tzars, including territorynorth of Manchuria, the maritime provinces, and half of Soviet central Asia. The Chinese are still tryingto get it back. Green's audience saw films he made inside China and the US.S.R. on five trips between1956 and 1966. Committee investigates art class, light show The Squires LIVE Academic Dean R. D.Brown has appointed an ad hoc committee on Art 400, "Special Problems in Lights " His actionwas precipitated by publicity about the "Bellingham Flashes", a dance-light group whose Jan. 20 show at Portland State College was halted two-thirds of the way through. A hired female chaperon thoughtthe show's symbolism was indecent. "MIGHT AS WELL HAVE HIM STOP BY ENNEN'S WHILE HE'SAT IT." ENNEN'S THRIFTWAY r HIGH AND HOLLY "WHERE EVERY CUSTOMER If The ad hoccommittee, headed up by Dr. Joseph Hashisaki, chairman of the math department, will view theshow in question. The committee will consult with David Marsh, art department chairman and LawrenceHanson, assistant art professor. Questions to be answered by Feb. 10 by the committee include: "Isthe course and its content a regular part of the curriculum and is it educationally appropriate?—Arethe activities of this course and the light show appropriate as public presentations? Was anyimproper use made of state materials or facilities?" Larry Hanson, director of the halted show andinstructor of Art 400, said there is no official connection between the "Bellingham Flash" and thecollege. Students and former students of Hanson mainly make up the group, he said. Of thegroup's performance in Portland, Hanson said nothing distasteful was present, although the group is"working on the edges of morality." Other members of the ad hoc committee are Annis Hovde,associate professor of English; Richard Purtill, assistant professor of philosophy; Marjorie Ryan,associate professor of English; and Gene Vike, associate professor of art. Warning given on programplanning Student program planning for spring quarter based on the Committee on Liberal Education(COLE) recommendations is "premature and may place the student in jeopardy," Academic Dean R. D.Brown says. Until the recommendations are adopted and appear in the college catalog, Brown says they won't take effect. The next catalog, for fall quarter 1968, would include adopted recommendations, he said. Cross Currents Coffee House FRIDAY NIGHTS 8:30 P.M. Until ?

Fairhaven funding troubledDAVE ROBINSQN 516 EAST HOLLY PICK-UP ft DELIVERY TIRES — BATTERIES MINOR REPAIRS 733-8000 Fairhaven College construction could be slowed by congressional cuts in federal building loan aid for colleges and universities. Cuts in construction funds are held up until the end of fiscalyear, June 30, but Congress could still hold back the money then. The college has already been toldthat $4 million in federally guranteed loan funds is not a-vailable for construction of non-academicbuildings for Fairhaven College, Harold Goltz, director of campus planning, said. He thinks alternatemethods of financing can be used, pointing out the possibility of selling nontaxable, five per centbonds. Reduction of federal building grants for colleges could hurt Western too, Goltz said. The$5,493,075 previously allotted for Washington colleges has been reduced to $3,921,752, he said. Nowbefore the Washington Higher Education Facilities Commission, the state agency which allots thesegrant funds, are two applications from Western. Goltz hopes the grant for one-third of the neededlibrary addition will go through because it is the number one priority application. The grant wouldprovide $633,- 500 of the $1,900,500 building cost, Goltz said. One-third of the $393,120 cost of theFairhaven Academic facility would be provided by approval of the other application. An answer on the grant applications is expected in March, Goltz said. First-year experiences told by six Westerngraduates Six first-year teachers, all Western graduates, agreed last week mat student teaching wasthe most valuable part of their teacher preparation. The panel, held last Thursday, was sponsored by theStudent Washington Education Association and Kappa Delta Pi. Included were Mrs. JeanneChadwick, who teaches the second grade; Thomas Thomas, third grade; Mrs. Rosemary Meyers,fourth grade; Gerald Alford, fifth grade; Mrs. Margaret Trott, middle school; and Donald Krag, highschool. Miss Dorothy Rice, senior, served as moderator. Questioned about what changes they mightrecommend in the teaching curriculum, the panel suggested that student teaching experiences shouldbe extended to at least a year. Motivation, another question topic, was easy to instill in elementaryschool-age children, according to Mrs. Chadwick and Thomas. Krag suggested that it was harder tomotivate high school students, especially in elective courses^such as drama, and Mrs. Trott agreed.The meeting concluded after each teacher recounted his most memorable experience. Mrs. Chadwicktold of having a spider dropped into her hand by a restless second grader, and Mrs. Meyers recalledseeing a student suddenly "absolutely bloom" during a talk.

Magnolia ---------- Western Front - 1968 February 6 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, February 6, 1968 Editorial Letters to the Editor Make literature separateWestern's humanities sequence is valuable, but it might be more effective if broken up. The seven-creditchunk is unrealistic, especially when it often accounts for half a student's class load. The material mightjust as well be given in two courses. One might be a four-credit lecture class in history, art and music,with three to four exams during the quarter. Upgrading study of interrelated western literature, which isneeded according to a Student Academic Advisory Board (SAAB) poll completed last quarter, could be achieved concomitant with English composition through two options. One would be a two-credit courseonly on the correlative humanities literature, stressing class discussion and writing. The three-creditEnglish composition course would complement this. Another option could be a four-credit Englishcomposition course using mainly the humanities literature. Separating study of literature from that of art,history and music would recognize the irregularities in grading practices for the present humanitiescourse. Written expression and literature are too different from lectures to have to vie with IBM-scoredtests for a composite grade. The humanities idea shouldn't be dumped, though. It is good, as a SAABpoll has shown. Nearly 80 per cent of those who had taken the course, and 90 per cent of those who hadnot taken it, termed humanities as "most valuable.'' —Jeanne Doering "This is your housemotherspeaking!

This is clearly athreat to the rights of many others as well as my own.^ The P.E. department should realize that theproblem with their image lies in the fact that they do not teach the P.E. majors respect for themselvesas women. Instead, they enforce a superficial dress rule on their students* In other words, there are some P.E. majors that do not know how to dress in a fem-ine manner and would look better in pants.

The AWS and perhaps the administration shouldinvestigate this unenforced standard and either abolish the P.E. department's threats or strictlyenforce the standard or rule on the entire campus as it is stated in the AWS handbook or it should be decided whether it actually is an unenforced standard or an enforced rule. If it is decided that it is anenforced rule then it should be stated in the college catalogue that women students are responsible to the rules set forth by the AWS . .. Darcy Crane Junior, art Need book worms Editor: Western is lucky to have the use of the Wilson Library. There are so many fine books there to study for additional classinformation or just to read that it is astounding. On Jan. 25 I checked out the book by S. WellsWilliams on the "Middle Kingdom." It was antiquated, being copyrighted in 1882 and published in 1901,but it contained a very detailed source of information on Chinese history, social structure, andgeography. But I was shocked to find that I was the first person to have borrowed this book in nearly 20years. This is a great shame and a complete waste of a fine source material. We students have thislarge library at our disposal, and yet fail to use it for the basic purpose of reading to increase ourknowledge. I wish more people would use the library just to read a good book than to limit its use onlyto class assignments, because a waste of this sort reflects badly upon this intellectual community.Stephen L.

Bv THADDEUS SPR ATLEN associate professor of economics (onleave, 1967-68) Philosophically and educationally, I believe such a program is contrary to the idealsand purposes of general higher education — to foster learning in an environment in which thecommitment is to the ideals of open-mindedness, humane values, and understanding based oncritical, rational, and comprehensive approaches to knowledge. Military training can do little morethan pay lip service to some of these values because it is committed to the development of specialists in mass-killing technology. That it has many scientific and technical ramifications in such diverse fieldsas electronics, chemistry, meteorology, psychology, mathematics and economics is well known.Many capable young men find it challenging. But presumably it is not the function of general highereducation to cater to group interests without regard for the main purpose of its pursuit ofknowledge. My contention on this point is simply that military training is not consistent with the kind ofinstitution that Western supposedly desires to become. Operationally and physically, I believe theintroduction of such a program would have a repressive effect on the general climate or atmosphere. In view of the parochialism that prevales this would only be yet another obstacle to achieving thebroad perspective that befits a quality academic institution. After all,R.O.T.C. programs fosterchauvinism of the most obvious kind, and stress author- Editor's note: This statement opposing theestablishment of an ROTC unit at Western was received by the Student Academic Advisory Board.Next week, another faculty member will write supporting the ROTC proposal. itarianism, conformityand ceremony unrestrained by critical evaluation and debate. The emphasis on fancy uniforms^replete with brass buttons, military indoctrination and drill, and deference and obedience to superiorofficers, are some of the anti-intellectual aspects of such programs which come to mind. Furthermore, valuable college time and facilities would be consumed in a manner that, considering otheralternatives, would make such a choice highly questionable. Politically, the presence of such a unitgives a built-in base of support to the industrial-military complex, a growing power alliance in theeconomy. At the level of a single institution, it means full numerical and ideological support to awell - entrenched military posture. The present war in Vietnam may be used as an example. AnROTC unit and the faculty in military science and tactics associated with it would have the options ofsilence, acceptance, and active support of whatever policy the administration in office happens to be following. Questioning, criticism and opposition are ruled out. And this includes such morally andmilitarily questionable tactics as defoliation, saturation bombing, wholesale destruction of"suspected" enemy villages, hot pursuit of troops and planes into the territory of other nationals(non-combatants), and extending the war into Laos and Cambodia. Such a stifling commitmentcontributes little toward the debate and understanding required for meeting the crises of national and international affairs. At least the non-military person like myself has to bear the burden of beingchallenged, with the challenger expecting a rational and factually-based defense of the positiontaken on such an important issue. Culturally, I believe the rewards of conformity are sufficientlypervasive so as not to require the kind of further conditioning and indoctrination which, for the sake ofmilitary as well as administrative efficiency, accompanies such programs. National securityrequirements could be better met through the reliance on the military academies and militaryschools such as The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute. Young men seeking other alternatives canfind well established programs in any of the land-grant colleges and universities. If this is notsufficient as vocational options, college graduates can enter special officer training coursesconducted by the military service of their interest and taste. In sum, I believe that whateveradvantages that may be cited for establishing such a program at Western should be cast as benefitsonly at the price of the considerations which I have suggested. This adds up, in my view, to a price thatis much too high.

He said at least 20 positions will be open. This is more than a third of the55-member resident aide staff. Applications are available in the Office of Residence Hall Programs,located in the Housing and Food Service Building, behind the Music Building. Persons who haveapplications on file and want to re-apply should notify the office to activate their files, Romine said.Applicants must have sophomore standings by fall of 1968 and not be on academic probation,Romine said. He said the staff is looking for persons with leadership qualities who "are interested inworking with people." Residency in a dorm is preferable, but not required, Romine said. Guidedtours this week Two guided tours through the Georgia-Pacific paper mill will be sponsored this weekbyAction for Conservation, the group said. The tours meet at 2 p.m. Thursday and Friday in front of theV.U. Lounge. At 7:30 p.m. Wednesday a Georgia - Pacific representative will address A.C. members on "The Influence of National Parks on the Timber Industry." Resident aides earn a salary equivalent toroom and board. Their duties include advisement of dorm government and work with academic andsocial problems. They are also responsible for discipline in their living units, Romine said, "not asproctors but as aids to students." In addition they have administrative responsibilities gt; whichinclude dorm staffing. Resident aides and directors have a four-day orientation prior to the opening ofschool in September, where they are introduced to the student services department. They alsoattend one of two Rosario conferences and an in-service training day held in February. This is "to keepcommunications going/' said Romine. By CYNTHIA EDDINGS fine arts editor "God is here; everyliving thing is God." This was the message conveyed by vagabond poet Edward English during hisreading here last Friday. English, making use of bizarre imagery, continually referred to the "blackbread" of earth, "the yellow, red, white, and black birds" of the human race, and the "red wine" or blood ofsurvival. He incorporates into his works, a definite distinction between America and the United States.During an interview he explained this distinction. He believes that America consists of the 13 originalcolonies, and that there are only 37 states in the union. The "first White House" is in Alabama, he says.English, who began writing poetry in 1957, was walking along the beach when "just like a wave comin'in,the words came into my mouth and I wrote them down." Now he is trying to explain them to others. Heis not paid for his poetry readings, but instead lives from the contributions that people give him afterhearing his poetry.

The proposal was madeby the committee's student members, Mark Hoffman, Fred Wepfler and Fred Munich, and was passed 4-2. "We move," read the students' proposal, "that the present Committee on Student Publications askPresident Charles J. Flora to disband the present committee and delegate the authority for thesepublications to .a student committee." "For me to accept and endorse this recommendation wouldrequire that we abandon present policies and operational procedures and await the formation of new ones by an as yet unnamed committee or by some other body not yet indicated," Flora replied to thecommittee's request. "Furthermore," he said, u l would point out any such action is premature in viewof the fact that on a coming student ballot there is a measure dealing with student publications." Thepresent committee, student members believe, is inadequate, operating on an obsolete policy. PresidentFlora urged the committee to continue with the development of a student publications policy, "hopefully, a policy which will serve the best interests of Western as a community."

Mr. Hogenauer, a Seattlebusinessman and longtime peace activist, is running against Warren Magnu-son (D) and Jack Metcalf(R). According to his platform, Hogenauer is the only candidate who stands unequivocally for fastAmerican withdrawal from the Vietnam mess. At its founding meeting last week, the Bellingham group of about 80 voted to proclaim November 5— the day of the Presidential election—a Day of Mourning.The New Party group is now selling black arm-bands at a booth outside the Viking Union. "Whoever winsthe election next week—Nixon, Humphrey or Wallace—will be part of a stillborn victory," said Dr.Bernard Weiner, a State Vice-Chairman of the New Party who addressed the group. "They all wish toperpetuate something which is decaying, dying, and this is why we mourn for our country. "But, unlikemany others, we aren't going to sit around and accept this obsolescent, putrefying system. We in theNew Party intend to bury the corpse with dynamic, responsible political leadership.

Friedenbergis on campus today to speak and sit on a panel, which will discuss his book — "Coming of Age inAmerica." His speech is on "Violence and Legitimacy" and will be delivered at 4 p.m. in L -4. Followingthis, a panel including himself and four other members of Western will discuss the current book of thequarter at 7:30 p.m. in L-4. In his speech, he will review what he considers to be the popular definition ofviolence. That is, any physical intervention by unauthorized persons intended to effect social change. He will then examine the consequences of such a conception of violence in relation to public policy towardpolice action, political movements of the youth and the poor, and our conception of due process and itsnature. The panel will discuss "How Acquiescent Are American Adolescents." Western membersinclude Don Freeberg, Fairhaven Freshman from Bremerton; Dr. William C. Keep, assistantprofessor of English; and Don McLeod, assistant professor at Fairhaven. The moderator will be W. H.0. Scott, chairman of the B.O.Q. committee. "Coming of Age in America" is a study of growth andacquiescence in a sampling of high school students. Friedenberg sought to determine their reactionswhen faced with choosing between opposing values. Hailed by some critics as a revolutionary critic ofeducation, Friedenberg seeks to indict the American compulsory education system for thedisappearance of individualism from the contemporary scene. Friedenberg's appearance here wasarranged and provided by Phyllis Edwards, chairman of the social issues committee of the AssociatedStudents Activities Commission. 3fc =*= £fc J! Campus election tomorrow *n Freshman classofficers, five AS Legislators, incorporation of the Western Front, issues concerning the draft andmilitary recruitment on campus, and a mock national election will crowd the AS election ballot tomorrow. The polls will be open at Haggard Hall facing Red Square and the Viking Union Lounge and Coffee Shop from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., according to Jon Murray, Elections Board Chairman. Voting will also takeplace at the Viking Commons and Ridgeway Commons from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 6:30p.m., Murray said.

Any student who wishes to vote must bring his ID card to the poll with him. *^ Studenthousing commission investigates Sehome Terrace apartment complaints The newlv-formed studenthousing commission chaired by John Moore, has been assigned this week to investigate the newSehome Terrace Apartments. "We have had complaints from students living there from the first day theymoved in" Noel Bourasaw, associated students president said. "We want to act now to clear thisproblem up and inform everyone about the reality of the situation." He explained that the Terracebecame college housing at least partially because there was no other space available for the 500 extrastudents enrolled this quarter. "Everyone was caught in a squeeze," Bourasaw said. "The studentsneeded housing, the college felt responsible and the landlord wa's being taken to court over thebuilding itself." Because of legal problems, the land lord is being pressed to decrease the density ofstudents living in the apartment area. "As we understand from talking to Dean of Men Clyde Mac-Donald, the landlord hopes to clear up density problems by converting the units to married studentshousing or by just renting them to one or two students." This intensifies the housing shortage, sincemany students will either have to move into dormitories, or find housing in the town. 'This is the majorcomplaint," Bourasaw explained. that the students were offered units with laundry facilities,recreation rooms and study corrals. Now they are being asked to move after one quarter without everseeing any of these come true." On the other hancL many residents are grateful that they do haveany housing at all. Although they wince at four roomates sleeping in bunk beds in 190 sq. ft. of bedroomspace, they are thankful that their utilities are aU paid. The Housing Commission plans to interview thelandlord this week along with representatives of the community, city officials, Terrace residents andnewspaper reporters. O'Connell blasts Evans' 'record of failure' Attorney General John J. O'Connell toldstudents that the record of the incumbent governor is a record of failure and calculated deception of the people.-' O'Connell, who is opposing Governor Dan Evans' bid for re-election, told more than 300students in the VU lounge Wednesday that Evans has failed to "come to grips with one single problemconfronting the state." "He has failed to stem the air and water pollution," O'Connell said. "He hasfailed to effectively manage state institutions." The Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who was elected state attorney general in 1956 has held that position since, spelled out his proposed tax package.Evans has proposed a flat 3 per cent state income tax with a gradual peel-back of the sales taxO'Connell said. 'This would be disasterous," he said. A flat-rate tax would impose the major burden oftaxation on the lower-income family." O'Connell said he favors a graduated income tax with the removal of the sales tax from food and prescription drugs. O'Connell said in a press conference he does notapprove legalized gambling in Washington. "Present gambling laws are ridiculous," he said. Lotteries are illegal because they are games of chance, not skill. O'Connell said. He placed bingo in this category,saying that "people socially accept bingo." "Under state law, betting on horse races is legal becauseit (track betting) is a game of skill, not chance. This is ridiculous." in the speech following the pressconference, O'Connell said he was in favor of grape pickers efforts in California to gain equal protectionunder labor laws. "The life expectancy of a male Mexican-American is 38 years," he said. 'TheMexican-American laborer gets none of the protection other workers receive." O'Connell said that if hewon the election, he would gradually attempt to lower the voting age to 18 years. "By gradually, I mean a year at a time: the first year 20; the second, 19, and finally in the third year, 18," he said. Referendum19 and Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 17 must be passed, he said. Referendum 19 provides more than$63 million for state institutions, including more than $5 million for Western, while SJR 17 provides forcreation of a State Building Authority. "Institutions of higher learning should not be managed bystudents," O'Connell said. He is opposed to giving students a vote on college board of trustees.O'Connell does not favor the legalization of marijuana, but thinks use of the narcotic should be amisdemeanor rather than a felony. Deborah Smith, a student at Western sang 'The Ode to johnny O"after the speech. The song was rewritten from 'The Ode to Billie joe." O'Connell's speech was presentedby Western's Young Democrats. 182 units—dm Dr. Edgar Z. Friedenberg, author of the book of thequarter, "Coming of Age in America," will give a lecture today at 4 p.m. and will participate in the BOQpanel discussion at 7 p.m. Both events are in L-4. Students, administrators placement policy t Militaryrecruitment, placement policy, draft councelling and Amilitary credit were discussed at an open meetingof students, ^faculty and administrators last Tuesday in VU-209. ' TJie two-hour session was attended bymore than 50 students and many administrators, including President Charles Flora, Academic Dean R.D. Brown, Dean of Men C. W. MacDonald and Dean of Students James Hitchman. The function of thePlacement Center, where the military will recruit Nov. 13 and 14, was explained by Directors Larry Rankin and Frank Punches. 'The Placement Center," according to Punches, "attempts to make available tostudents occupational opportunities. This is a service to students, not employers." 'The military is viewedas being a legitimate employer and therefore is invited by the Placement Center to recruit," he added.The policy on military credit, which allows 12 hours of credit for those who have "served in the armedforces, was brought up by joe Start, teacher assistant. Dean Brown explained that this policy wasinstituted "to recognize that people have made a contribution to their country." He noted that this matterhas been referred to the Student Academic Advisory Board (SAAB), which is now working on a report.The possibility of having a college draft councellor was suggested by Ian Trivett. Dean MacDonald notedthat his office is open to draft councelling, but due to time limitations many men do not have theopportunity to see him. Scott Wicklund remarked that Western "does not have in its employ competentpersonnel to council people on the draft laws and their many implications." It was generally agreed thatthere is a need for a draft councellor and Dean MacDonald said it is being considered. Many studentsvoiced their disapproval of military recruitment on campus. Becky Bathurst commented that the military "is in the business of killing people" and therefore should not be allowed to recruit on campus. "Bringing the military to the campus does not infer sanction of the purpose of the military," said Greg Jones. "Itmerely affords employment information to those who do believe in the military." Dr. Andrew Frank,chemistry professor, urged students to "demonstrate, by all means, when the military recruits oncampus — but do it so that you do not infringe on the rights of others." Dean Hitchman said "Whenthere is a confrontation between two groups who feel deep moral commitments, conflict is often theresult. The only alternative to compromise is bloodshed. I hope for a compromise." President Floraclosed the meeting with a plea for continued dialogue on these issues. He urged the Faculty Council andthe AS Legislature to continue this effort to form an institutional committment concerning placement.The meeting will be continued today at 2 p.m. in VU-209. John J. O'Connell, Democratic candidate forstate governor, spoke to students last Wednesday. —photo by gable ---------- Western Front - 1968 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, October W, I96U VYC3ICMI I I U I I I ^ Guardian's xThe Shadow' unjust in criticism of Bond(Reprinted with permission of the Guardian, independent radicaj weekly, New York) by Julius Lester(LNS) The Guardian's columnist, The Shadow, seems to be carrying out some kind of vendetta againstJulian Bond. Last week The Shadow reported that because Bond took the Democratic Party loyaltyoath, he is supporting Hubert Humphrey and from this The Shadow concludes that ". . . there was animportant symbolism to the fact that most of his former comrades, such as Tom Hayden, were outside on the streets . . . And they were not . . . encumbered by any oaths of loyalty to Hubert HoratioHumphrey/' The movement has suffered too long from the kind of thinking whik refuses to allow amulti-level movement to develop into one where the only significant roles are not necessarily played in the streets. The kind of thinking reflected by The Shadow actually has the effect of pushing peopleout of the movement, without ever attempting to understand what a particular individual might define his role as being. The only result of this kind of thinking is to further isolate the movement and allowthe liberals to move in from the rear and co-opt those individuals who have rejected because theseindividuals choose to function within structures we reject. The Shadow misses an important point whenhe says that Julian Bond's "Former comrades" were in the streets but those Black comrades whocompletely dominated the 1964 Democratic convention were nowhere to be found. Most of the people who were in the streets of Chicago were not even in the movement in 1964. If Bond's former comradeshad been at the Democratic convention, it is possible that Bond would've succeeded in bringing theissue of racism before the nation in a democratic fashion, which is what he saw as his primary role atthe convention. The entire purpose of Bond name being placed in nomination for vice-president was an attempt to get him to the rostrum The absence of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committeeand the Congress Of Racial Equality at the Democratic convention was a mistake and can beconsidered an act of cutting off Julian Bond, Fannie Lou Hamer and all those Blacks inside theDemocratic party. wfiere he could speak about racism, the issue which the Democratic conventionstudiously avoided. One can question whether or not Julian Bond should be working within theframework of the Democratic party. To raise that question, however, is to waste one's time. He isworking within the Democratic party, attempting to gain some measure of political power for Blackpeople in the state of Georgia. The movement's responsibility is not to say that Julian has sold out, butto understand what he ^trying to do and see if there is any way in which the movement can be of help. Instead of assuming that Julian has sold out, it is more reasonable to assume that he is well awareof the risks he is taking by becoming a prominent figure within the liberal wing of the Democratic party. If we cut him off, we leave him no option except to be responsive to the Democratic party., Theconvention could have been used as a learning experience for Blacks and some initial groundworkcould've been done toward the forming of a national Black political party. By 1975, 20 major cities willhave Black majorities and therefore, Black mayors. Whether or not these Black mayors will beresponsive to the Democratic party or to Black people depends on whether there is a nationalBlack political party. The Black movement, however, does not even seem interested in talking aboutsuch a party, which can be a revolutionary one. The Black movement thinks that if it says "revolution"long enough and loud enough, it'll happen. All that will happen is that people will go to sleep from sheerboredom, having heard "revolution" so much. Perhaps one of the big failings of the movement hasbeen its avility to initiate action and then allow liberals to move in and co-opt that action. What ispresently happening at Columbia is a prime example of that. The movement made Julian Bond anational figure. The movement approved Julian's election to the Georgia legislature. He was amember of the Democratic party when he refused to retract his statement about draftcardburning. It didn't seem to bother anyone then that he was a Democrat. It reflects poorly upon themovement now to crfticize him, because he is a Democrat. There is a role which Julian Bond can playin his present position, which will not be contrary to the aims of the movement. He can only play thatrole, however, if the movement begins to understand that a person does not have to be in the streetsto be revolutionary. From other campuses UNIVERSITY OF OREGON— Ex-Marine Harry Stayner ofEugene spoke to a group of demonstrators recently at a rally which resulted in non-violentconfrontation between police, students, and observers. 500 students crowded the garage of theGreyhound bus depot, carrying signs and singing softly, in an effort to stop a busload of inducteesfrom leaving the station. The bus had already left upon the students arrival. Few reports of violencewere received, although the demon* strators "were verbally opposed at times. Although thedemonstrators began to dwindle later, about 200 took part in a vigil in which they marched single file infront of the Empire Building, which houses the local draft board. Father James Groppi." a Milwaukee,Wis., priest spoke at the University of Oregon during a conference held last" week on "The Church and Civil Disobedience." Speaking with Father Groppi was "hippie-poet-priest" Father Daniel Berrigan.Father Groppi first gained public attention by leading night* ly marches in Milwaukee in 1966. Thesemarches led to violence when the demonstrators entered white neighborhoods. SAN JOSE STATE(SjS) Larry Fargher, candidate for U.S. Congress in California, was booed and jeered at SJS last weekbecause of his position on the grape boycott issue. Fargher tried to explain his position on the boycott,the right to strike, Vietnam, and other issues, but could not be heard above the voices of the crowd. ---------- Western Front - 1968 October 29 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, October "29, 1968 editorials Vote "no" on incorporation "Resolved: that theWestern Front be incorporated as a student newspaper.'' "Sounds good," you say. "Why not?" Beforeyou vote "yes" tomorrow on making the Front independent, consider the "why not's". Don't consider whatthis bill says; consider what it means. The Publications Board folded last week which means that thenew "Pub Board" will be completely student-controlled if the Associated Students so deem. What willprobably happen is that the ASB legislature and executive board will pack the board with some of theirown members of' 'favorite sons Since the Pub Board appoints the editor of the newspaper, I see noprovision in this bill to prevent the newspaper from becoming the mouthpiece of our student body president or legislature. Now consider this: how independent can a student newspaper be if it's only a "yesman" to the students' "system? " A student newspaper should be in a position to criticize studentgovernment as well as school administration. A newspaper must be independent in spirit and, under thepresent system, all it takes is a good strong editor. Every student newspaper I've seen go independenthas become radical, the palate of a few dissenters rather than the voice of a college community. Beforethe newspaper was taken under the wing of the journalism department a few years ago, Western'snewspaper had the Helix hippie aura of the Chris Condon era. The Front has come a long way sincethen and I would hate to see it regress. Working for a journalism grade under the "point system" may bewretched, but at least it has insured quality and wide coverage.

All of us have a stake in Referendum19. The bond issue will finance 30 buildings at universities, colleges and institutions in the state ofWashington. The $63 million cost of the buildings will be spread over a 20 year period. With the rapidincrease of enrollment here at Western, we also need an increase in the facilities to accommodate thesestudents. With the passing of Referendum 19 we will reap the benefits of a new Auditorium-Musicbuilding, and administration building, a P.E. addition, and the renovation of the Ed-Psych building andOld Main. This totals an allotment of $5,789,500 to Western. SJR 17, the other issue, authorizes a stateagency to initiate building requests from now on. Passage of this idea would end the need for areferendum such as 19. Remember, better facilities mean better education. We are concerned about thekind of education we receive and the facilities which can be made available to us. —Cynthia EddingsOn recruiting . . . Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud, and pride and hunger will ever beat variance. For these reasons, the trade of a soldier is held the most honorable of all others; because asoldier is a "yanoo" hired to kill in cold blood as many of his own species, . lt; who have never offendedhim, as possibly he can. —Jonathan Swift Gullivers Travels * * * Gia Dinh, South Vietnam Feb. 7,1968 — The town of Gia Dinh was destroyed by American artillery and bombs today. Commenting onthe victory, the American commander said: "Jf became necessary to destroy the town in order to save it." "We do not pass judgement on the morality of the organizations we invite to the campus," remarked aPlacement Center director last week. It appears to me that this is the crux of the whole campusrecruiting issue. What this college needs is a more selective placement policy. Those organizationswhich exist for a worthy and constructive purpose should be offered the use of the Placement Center,while those organizations which exist to threaten peace, perpetuate fear, strangle hope, stifle individuality, enforce hypocrisy, suppress minorities, commit genocide, police the world, increase the budget, createsuffering, kill, slaughter, maim, cripple, murder, annihilate and otherwise destroy faith in humanity shouldnot be offered the use of the Placement Center. It's a matter of discretion. I ask all those who are beinginstrumental in formulating an "institutional committment" on placement to seriously consider thisproposal.

Editor: In your last editorial "Reading between the lines" I note a quotationfrom the Declaration of Independence in v which Jefferson asserts fiie people's right of revolutionagainst tyranny, along with your assertion that the Declaration was written by "whites for whites."Your remark does serious injustice to Jefferson. The Declaration itself was addressed to all"mankind", and the second paragraph states that "all men are created equal." In 1779 Jeffersonproposed in his labors on the revision of the laws and statutes of Virginia that all slaves born after thepassage of the act be emancipated. In 1784 he proposed in tiis "Report of Government for the Western Territory" that "after me year 1800 . . ., there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in any ofthe said states," later admit ted to the Union as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. This Report by Jefferson became the basis for the famous Ordinance of 1787, which barred slavery for all time from these states. That Jefferson detested slavery is clearly shown in his reply to Query 18 inhis "Notes on Virginia:" "The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise ofthe most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on one part, and degradingsubmission on the other." ARTHUR HICKS Professor, English (Editor's note: . . . and yet, Jeffersonwas a slaveholder.) Washroom retreat Editor: The painting out of the word "faculty" on washroom doors rf , „ eliminates the problem seen'by Mr. Bourasaw. Professors will still have a line of retreat open tomem when challenged either personally or academically by students of the opposite sex. Sincemis barrier to communication will probably take longer to break down, Mr. Bourasaw can restassured that he will continue to be able to find a "relevant reason for student government's existence."Mary Barkworth graduate student, education Meat and potato politics Editor: Can I talk about meat and potato politics without okra,wat-ermellons and T.V.

What is one to do November 5th? Certainly no question this year hasplagued American citizens of conscience more than this one.

In this analysis, I shall try to demonstrate why each of these alternatives is to beavoided. And then, perhaps that what can be done. Let's dismiss Wallace-Lel ay first. We all know who they are and what they represent. The argument that they'll make things so bad that the Revolution willthereby be immediately possible is sadly reminiscent: the German communists said the same thingabout Hitler when he was on the rise. End result; Hitler exterminated the revolutionaries at the earliestpossible moment. We all know about the concentration camps located around the United States: itwouldn't take much effort to activate them. We also know of the rising militancy of the militarymentality in this country, especially in urban police departments. In city after city (and Chicago isonly the most obvious televised example), the rise of Wallace in the polls has been paralleled by therising ruthlessness and brutality — much of it open and proud — of the police against politicaldissidents, indeed a-gainst anyone who represents or seems to represent social change. Hence, thebeatings directed at newspaper reporters, photographers, hippies, students, long-hairs, etc. No, tovote for Wallace out of some misguided optimism is certainly not the answer — ex- One and a halfgood reasons why every college student should have a Firstbank checking account: To know whereyour money has gone.

What can be said of the first of these dazzling duos? Nixon is still the Old Nixon but now in aslickly-wrapped new package; he's grown tremendously — that much must be said for him— butaside from personality traits and "image," his program is tired, stale, and (given the circumstances)ultimately reactionary. Agnew: even forgetting for a moment what is impossible to forget — that he isthe choice of the Thurmonds of the South —would you want that guy in the White House? My God?What have we come to when a man of that caliber, attitude, background and temperament is next-in-line for the Presidency? That leaves the most perplexing problem of them all: whether one must, out ofsome traditional loyalty to the ."lesser-of- two-evils" theory, cast one's vote for the Hump-Musk ticket? Let's get the granteds out of the way first. Granted, Humphrey is a better humanbeing. a morecompassionate leader than Nixon; granted Muskie is much more qualified— in relativeterms—to lead the nation than Agnew; granted that Humphrey is (relatively) less-hawkish militarily thanis Nixon; granted all this, how does one then arrive at a position which denies to the Democraticcandidate the vote he so sorely needs? 1) Even if President Johnson can end (or can seem to beendingHhe Vietnam War, it must be kept in mind that Mr. Humphrey is a prime architect of the verymilitarist cold-war foreign policy which got us into this Viefc» nam. and which must inevitably involve us in more. His inability to cut himself off from the Johnson position is not only that of a man dependentupon the remaining power of a declining President; what's worse is—and Humphrey made thisperfectly clear in his Vice Presidential pronouncements over the past four years — he really believesall that bullshit! That's what's frightening. 2) Mr. Humphrey is a creature of, and prisoner of, the oldDemocratic Coalition—bosses, . labor, New Dealers —which was fine perhaps 20 years ago when thenation could afford the luxury of a slow, reformist "liberal" political movement. But in an age whichcalls for wide-sweeping, oftimes radical, reform, Mr. Humphrey is of the political ice-age. (Part IIcontinued next week) NORTHWESTERN COMMERCIAL BANK 1 0 -3 MON.-FRI. F.D.I.C.

According toWestern's NSA branch, one of these programs is the establishment of a campus Student Government information Service library (SGIS)^ a research center and clearing 'house for information on manyareas of student life. The current project being undertaken by SGIS is the collection of informationfor the exclusion of the military from campus. The data comes from the University of Michigan andinvolves investigations of cases in which reprisals were taken against peacefully demonstratingstudents who were protesting the presence of military recruiters. Any student, group, or facultymember is welcome to make use of SGIS facilities for their research. A few of the broad areas ofinformation on file with SGIS are student activities, political and social responsibility, values andwelfare. SGIS sources provide a complete means of obtaining information concerning studentactivities, movements and events at other schools throughout the United States. Those wishing touse the SGIS facilities should contact Bob Ar-seneault in the NSA office. 5 from 2 to 3 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If the Western SGIS does not have the desired subject matter in its files, it will contact the national SGIS Center in Philadelphia for further information. SGIS will also be accumulating information about the Peace and Freedom Party, the Students for Democratic Society, and the NewParty. NSA would appreciate receiving bulletin and releases from the various organizations oncampus to add to their file. These can be left in the NSA office.

Radcliffe, having taught school in Bellingham for 43 years, has a specialinterest in state aid to education. It would pay us to pool our wealth and divide it equally among schooldistricts, he said. "Local communities cannot adequately support their local schools. The state mustassume more responsibility," Radcliffe said. Radcliffe prefers a graduated income tax rather than thestraight tax proposed by Gov. Dan Evans.

Then he sends detailed maps of his plantings to friends. Johnny Pot, who was given hisnickname by an agent who has chased him from Washington and Oregon through Kansas andIdaho to Ohio (checking out a lot of used pasture lands, we presume), carries the seeds in amailman's pouch. Marijuana seeds need merely to be scattered on fertile ground to grow. JohnnyAppleseed, whose real name was John Chapman, traveled through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana onhorseback more than 150 years ago, scattering apple seeds. The New York Times reported that tworesidents of a suburban community have planted marijuana at the local police station, a church and acountry club, as well as in a center strip garden on Manhattan's Park Avenue.

The figure exceeds by 511 estimates made last winter by the state's Planning and Community Affairs Agency. According to David Sprague, chairman ofWestern's Board of Trustees, this increased enrollment is more than can be absorbed by last-minute changes in operating plans. "The college staff has been hired and operational plans are alreadyset in motion," Sprague said. "Additional teaching and administrative personnel must now be added, atextra cost, for which funding is needed.'' Commenting on the problem, Dr. Charles J. Flora, presidentof Western, said an increase of up to 200 students would have resulted in a need for increased classsizes and greater work load for administrative offices. "An increase of 500, however, is critical", headded, "and some relief is required." Dr. Flora said a letter is being sent to Governor Daniel J. Evansrequesting an emergency allocation of $125,000 to cover necessary costs of handling studentsenrolled in excess of the budgeted level 'This figure was arrived at after my office directed as manydepartments as possible to absorb additional work loads," Dr. Flora said. "Price increases andunfunded requirements placed upon the college have removed any ability to meet unexpectedsituations or absorb added costs," he added. Most directly affected by the enrollment increase areclassroom instruction, the library, the admissions and registrar's offices and the controllers office.Funds requested will provide additional staff and supplies needed in these areas. "To the extent thatemergency funding is not made available, drastic reductions may be necessary in certain programareas'' Dr. Flora stated.

A sharp breeze prickles the hairs on their arms as it brushes past them, and they hear creaking footsteps on the staircase . . .Near Sandy Point, another family has just moved into a house that has seen 13 families move in and outwithin two years. The wife thinks her husband is playing tricks on her because she keeps hearingfootsteps upstairs. Closets open. Furniture moves. The towel in the bathroom unexplainably catches onfire . . . Haunted houses? "Hogwash," you say? At least one person in Bellingham admits to living in ahouse haunted by other than mortal creatures. Mimi (everyone calls her Mimi), who runs the VagabondAnswering Service, has heard footsteps walking upstairs, doors opening and closing, and the lightsswitch on and off many times since she moved into the Vagabond. "I had a girl working here when I wasgone." Mimi said. "When I came home one time, she asked me if I had the upstairs apartments rentedout because she kept hearing someone walking up there." Mimi said that on another occasion, hergranddaughter and another girl were sleeping upstairs when they heard the spirit walking outside theirdoorway. "Don't just stand there," they said, "come in or go away." The doorknob turned but no onecame in. Mimi said that she does not believe in ghosts but she does believe in thought forms andpsychic Phenomena. "When you move into a new house," she said, "it snU has the feeling of the people who lived there before. You can feel the vibrations. The people are not necessarily dead. "Everywherewe go we leave a part of ourselves, for example, our odor. There must have been some terrific emotionprojected here to cause this vortex to be repeated and repeated," she said. Oddly enough, Bellingham is sadly lacking in histories of haunted houses. There is a house below Mount Vernon, however, which issaid to be haunted. Legend has it that a man murdered his wife there and cut up her body, burying it inseveral places around the house ana grounds. This summer, three young married couples, a friend and Ivisited the spot to test the myth that if anyone removes something from the house, evil will befall him. Aman was said to have had eight stitches taken in his forehead when a board flew at his face after taking a book from the house. We arrived at the grey weathered house one evening last August as the sun wassetting on the surrounding acres of deserted farm fields. Threading our way through tangled brush alongan overgrown path for 20 minutes, we finally arrived at the house. It was strewn with wreckage yet itcontained treasures of old clothes, utensils, and books from the turn of the century in every room. Afterfilling my pockets with booty to call up the evil omens, I went outside with the others to sit in the "fairycircle," trying to conjure up spirits by the light of the moon. The best we could conjure up were somescary ghost stories, one of which sent someone screaming into the apple orchard. Satisfied that no evilwould befall us we eventually left and to this day I still have a gold collar tab that I found in the oldhouse. "Who's afraid of haunted houses anyway?" I keep telling myself.

This suggestion will be presented to the Student Academic Advisory Board (SAAB) who will determine whether it will be recommended to the Academic Council Thecurrent policy of averaging the grade received in a repeated class with the grade previously earned was discussed. The A.S. legislature voted on a proposal to allow students to receive the higher grade.This will be referred to SAAB for further action. Plans for a new faculty-student CTffeeshop to belocated on the 4 taza section by the Ed- Psych, bv Uding were discussed. The coffeeshop will bedesigned for quick counter service and will be furnished accordingly. Counters will be provided overwhich students and faculty can meet for informal discussions. Coffee, soft drinks and pastries will besold. Subcommittee members Gerald Brock of the Housing Office; Chris Karp, Director of StudentActivities; the Miller Hall Building Committee; and Saga Food Service will work on the other details.The coffeeshop will hopefully have an aesthetically pleasing decor and a committee from the A.S.Legislature will work on this aspect. The major aim of the coffeeshop is to increase student-facultycommunication by providing a convenient place for meeting.

Kaffke aroused some controversy for teaching his course last year, evoking criticism from Max Rafferty, California's arch-conservative state superintendent of public instruction and nowthe Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. The Experimental College-started by students severalyears ago to teach courses: the university was unable or unwilling to do, once had the motto that"anyone can teach anything." But EC head Ian Grand says that is no longer true and there is now acommittee to pass on the suitability of courses.

Lake Whatcom, theFresh Water Institute's 'guinea pig.' —photo by gable Institute studies Lake Whatcom "Making an index of water pollution is one of the main functions of the labratory for the Fresh Water Institute," said Dr.Dave Mason, assistant professor at Fairhaven College. The Institute is to be linked with the LakewoodDevelopment Project on Lake Whatcom. Every Tuesday since 1962, the boat owned by the Institutehas taken several different samples from different areas of Lake Whatcom to determine the differentaspects of pollution. "This is not to say that the lake is polluted," explained Dr. Mason, "we're justexamining pollution factors." Some of the factors under observation include oxygen concentration,number of chlorophyll, electrical conductivity, light penetration, the number of microscopic organismscalled Chlorella, water temperature and circulation, and wind and wave action. Cooperating with theUnited States Geological Survey, the Institute has five stream measuring stations to gauge the in and out flowing of the lake water and its temperature. Financing for the Institute comes from a $37,000 grant issued three years ago from the Department of the Interior. Western's Department of Grants andResearch has matched that amount for a total of $74,000. The Institue was started in 1961 whenPresident Charles J. Flora, then a biology profes- 1 T2IPTA5HOY21 DOC, it's like this. I can't get pastEnnen's Thriftway without shopping. The buys are fabulous! ENNEN'S THRIFTWAY HIGH AND HOLLY"WHERE EVERY CUSTOMER IS IMPORTANT" sor, decided to use Lake Whatcom for biologicalexperimentation. Dr. Gerald F. Kraft, also a biology professor, worked with Dr. Flora to solicit funds for equipment and employment To have the work done more on a university level, the project wascompletely divorced from the biology department and given its present name of Fresh Water Institute."We're quite pleased about the lab that's being built," said Mason. "We didn't have any labs close byLake Whatcom to properly check water temperatures as they were drawn from the lake, and we hadto set up annamometers in the yards of private homes." "Having the Institute on the ASB's property willbring another dimension of life to the students which they wouldn't ordinarily see," Masoncontinued. "It is assumed, too, that while the students are at the Lake, they'll play and have a goodtime without disturbing the equipment that will be in observation periodically," Mason said. Kraft, onsabbatical leave, is the official director of the institute, but suggestions are in for a full-time director toexpand involvement of the rest of its membership.

Schirry finished ahead of the other 23distancemen in a time of 18.41. Second place went to Seattle Pacific's Bob Rorabauch with an 1842clocking. Junior Larry Neilson again led the Western contingent finishing fourth and covering' the 3.8mile course in 19:06. Viking Al Wright also finished ninth in the event. Western hosts their first and only home meet of the season Saturday. Eastern will face the Vik runners at 10 a.m. at Cornwall Park. "We hope to win this next one," Coach George Gleason said. "I feel we have much more depth and shouldbe in good physical shape for the meet." Setting a new scoring record, Western's Rugby team won its fourth game in a row mis season, trouncing Richmond 52-3 Saturday, in Richmond, B.C. Western'sscore would be comparable to a 89-3 victory in American football. The Viks previous high was 33 pointsscored against Richmond last year. Richmond came within a few yards of scoring, seconds after theopening kickoff, but after that Western completely dominated the game. Rich Blanc opened the scoringwhen Western picked up a Richmond fumble. Harry Dumptruck kicked the conversion to make the score5-0. Flashy wing, Jeff Zygar, scored the first of his four tries a few minutes later. He caught a lineout tap, on the run, from Pat Hughes, and dashed 15 yards to the end zone. Al Needier scored two tries, Zygaradded two more and Peter Wilde scored along with two conversions by Rich Blanc to give Western anamazing 27-0 halftime lead. Western continued to score with ease in the second hall Al; Needier scoredhis third try of the game, Blanc his second, Zygar added his fourth, and Joe Zygar, Jeffs younger brother,starting his first game, also scored. Harry Dumptruck, the team's leading scorer with 16 points addedanother conversion and scored his first try of the year. He broke through on a 20 yard run, and draggedfour men with him into the end zone. Fullback Lee Keown and eighth-man Stu Rickey finished thescoring for Western, getting assists from Larry Willman and Needier. Richmond's only score came late in the second half on a 30-yard penalty kick by Herb (Sudden Death) Carey, a Western grad, and theteam's top kicker last season. Because of the late arrival of uniforms, the second team game was shorter than usual, but Western's seconds won 6-3 on tries by Wayne Means and Vic Coudriet.

Western is blessed with a grand total of four fields which canbe used for P.E. classes, intramural and inter°scholastic sports. First choice goes to the football team.It uses the soccer field for preseason drills, and moves to the regular gridiron when school starts.Between 50 and 60 cleat-wearing athletes help chew up more than half of the field space available forthree months. When classes begin the soccer and rugby teams, involving about 80 players betweenthem, desire the lower soccer field for both turnouts and home games. This leaves activity classes andintramurals. These two groups are least fortunate because the majority of them don't wear shoes that willgive traction in mud. Games are almost dependent on good luck, or whoever finds good footing first.Women's athletics also suffer. They are allotted one field, but share it with the band, and must put up with men sneaking on. Their field requires a smooth plane in order to play field hockey. Dr. William Tomaras, athletic director, says at least $200,000 has been spent on the two main fields. This includes a complete overhaul of the soccer field and a re-seeding of the football field. The soccer field has settled in onecorner, making a lake out of the new tennis courts. The football field has the footing of a sponge full ofwater. A practical solution would be to cover one of the fields with Astro-turf but the process is costlyespecially for the immediate future. Tomaras looks ahead to the future when some of the area south of campus may be turned into fields. Now he is waiting another year for the fields to settle before they areoverhauled again. Since Astro-turf doesn't fit into the picture at Western yet, maybe the city fathers ofBellingham could consider it to replace the Civic Field turf which would even make Olympic sprintchampion Jim Hines run as though he were carrying dumbbells on his ankles. * * * * * * * * * Not onlydid Western's Rugby team wallop Richmond on the field, they also won the third half. Western's guzzlingrelay team of Ed Peterson, Jim (Fish) Abbott. Mike Fowler and Larry Gidner won two straight "boatraces'' over a Richmond foursome. Victory starved Vikings need Savage point lapse Eastern's slumpmay have ended a week too early for Western's win hungry Viks. The two teams meet hereSaturday in Civic Stadium at 1:30 p.m. The Savages lost three games in a row, including a 19-13decision to Portland State, but came back last weekend with a 28-2 thumping of Whitworth. Leadingthe attack for Eastern, the league leader in total offense, are ail-American end Dave Svendsen,fullback Rick Hardie and either Jim North-cutt or Tommy Thompson at quarterback. Svendsen hascaught five touchdown passes this year, Hardie has gained almost 300 yards rushing and scored twicelast week. Eastern lost another all-Amer-ican, quarterback Bill Diedrick at the beginning of the season,but Northcutt and Thompson have filled in adequately. Northcutt led the league in total offense before last week, when Thompson threw two scoring passes. A hope for Western could be their improvedpassing attack. Glenn Hadland, replaced Steve Kearby, who suffered a hip pointer injury, and passedfor 130 yards, completing 11 of 29 including one touchdown. Pass defense is Eastern's weakest point Taey have given up over 800 yards and five tds through the air.

The loss, the third in a row for Western, broughttheir season's record to a dismal 1-5 mark. Overcoming a 21-0 deficit at halftime, the inspired Viks hit hard in the remaining two periods of play, scoring three touchdowns to narrow the margin.Quarterback Glenn Hadland started the Viks rolling with a 34-yard pass to halfback Ban Bunten in thethird quarter which set up the first touchdown. Hadland later tallied on a 3-yard roll-out play With14:54 -emaining in the fourth quarter .'^dland passed to halfback Frank Toth for 9 yards and Western'ssecond score. The drive was highlighted by a 15-yard toss from Hadland to Bunten. The two-pointconversion try was no good. Two penalties charged against Western, as a result of a disagreementwith the referees on the conversion try, caused the Viks to kickoff from their own 10-yard line. PortlandState tookpossessioi on the Western 47, and after several plays, quarterback Don Suloff hit end LarryAnderson on a 21-yard pass play to score the winning Portland touchdown. Western fought back withHadland leading the Viks in a 68- yard drive, capped by Dan Dol-fin's 2-yard plunge. Dolfin alsoscored me two^point conversion try. The visitors had a final chance for ^victory when tackle Jerry Kelly recovered a Portland fumble on the State 16, but the Viks failed to start another drive.

MEXICO CITY (CPS) — Although these words, takenfrom the wall of a strike-bound Mexican university, reflect the politics of only a few students, they doreflect the surroundings of every Mexican student. In a country which makes the American press with itsannual report of a 7 per cent gain in gross national product and its elections every six years, this mayseem a contradiction, This seeming contradiction is, however, a reflection of the great inequalities whichhave long existed in Mexico. Even as far back as the beginning of the 19th century, a visitor to Mexicocalled it "the land of inequality." In 1927, ten years after tile end of the revolution, the dominant factionfounded a political party which has grown into a monolithic structure known as the PRI, PartidoRevolucionario Institucional. The PRI, which has never lost an election for president, governor, or senator,is the dominant factor on the Mexican political scene. Criticism of American financial control and DiazOrdaz's furthering of it are two of the topics drawing the loudest cheers at student rallies. The currentstudent movement is the first nationwide organized opposition to the establishment. At present, thestudents' liberal demands do not threaten PRI control. However, many students have gained a radicalpolitical perspective and may come back to haunt the government, just as a young lawyer named FidelCastro did in Batista's Cuba. In the meantime, Diaz Ordaz will stay in power and his successor willalmost certainly be the PRI candidate for the 1970 elections. STUDENT COOP BOOK NEWS Life ofLenin by Fischer.

Here, at State, they are teaching usnow to alienate our labor, just as we will have to do when we become wage and salary workers, in thefactories the workers' product is taken away from him, a man's product doesn't belong to him, but tothe corporations. At State our product is taken away from us, too. In the factory and office, people get a wage for their product that the corporations have stolen; here our product is returned in the form of a"grade." Tensie's HANDMADES gifts for everyone 1415 Commercial 734-4830 Production in the factory is social, everybody throughout the economy depends on everyone else; production at State is social, an ideas belong to all of us, were developed by all of us. In the factory, rewards are individual, the raise, the incentive system, the bonus; here, the rewards are also individual, the "grade." Also, they areteaching us not only how to alienate ourselves from our products, but also how to alienate ourselves from the process of work itself. In the factory, the worker has no control over his pro* duct, nor over theprocess of work; here, we do not have control over the process of education. When we attempt toestablish control, they try to take it away from us: they withdraw student control from student funds;they try to sabotage any attempt to develop student controlled curriculum. They understand thatstudent-initiated and controlled curriculum is potentially dangerous. Also, and this follows from what Ihave said before, because we are alienated from our products, and because we are alienated fromthe work process, the process through which these products are created, it follows that we are alienated from each other. Our very humanity is taken away from us, our species=be-ing, our inventiveness,imagination, creativity.

They try to get us to seeother people as means to our personal ends, to use other people, to see them not as humans, as ends, but as means. Thus we compete with each other. How is it possible to really trust someone in acompetitive society? Ask your shrink that. It used to be that colleges trained governingelites—Williams College, Harvard, and a few others still do. But the great mass of colleges do not,they train labor-power. Productive labor-power. Technical labor-power. And salesmen. The engineeringschool, branches of the business school, branches of the physical and natural sciences, and otherbranches train technical workers; other branches of the business school, the art schools, and otherparts of our institutions train salesmen. How did it develop this way? Why is there such an institutionas San Francisco State? Because the major resource, what the corporations need more than anythingelse, is technical knowledge. Without this, no profits. Without this, no new production processes, nonew products, no new resources, no new ways to exploit existing resources. They NEED us; withoutus, the technical-administrative labor force, production would grind to a halt. They need us to producefor them, and also to sell for them. We do both, without knowing it, against our will as human beings.Why don't they train us themselves? Because we are a resource, a means of production, which nocorporation can monopolize itself. A machine cannot get up and move from one city to another,can't drop out. But a human can. Production has become so social, mat the most valuable resource thecapitalist has is us, our skills, our training. So they have to SOCIALIZE THE COSTS OFPRODUCTION.

Carter Broad. Dr.Broad noted that the new committee will function with full knowledge of the work of his organizationand that its purposes are consistent with efficient completion of college reorganization. President Flora had recommended formation of a committee ''superior to the Faculty Council and the AssociatedStudent Legislature that would present its proposal to the faculty and to the students forreferendum votes. Membership on the committee includes three students, three faculty members,and one or two administrators. The group will work at forming an academic senate to govern the entirecollege. The new ad hoc committee hopes to have a reorganization plan, acceptable to faculty andstudent body, ready to submit to the Board of Trustees by March 31, 1969. However, it must first beratified by a majority of students and a majority of the faculty. Philosophy majors get voice in dept.Philosophy majors and minors will have a full voice in all affairs of the department, Dr. StanleyDaugert, department chair man, announced. The decision was made Nov. 25 at a meeting of staff andstudents to discuss student involvement in department affairs. According to Daugert, students willhelp decide curriculum, schedules, tenure, promotion and selection of staff. In the past six years the department has operated by consensus, seldom by voting. If voting becomes necessary, a way torepresent the students equally will be devised, Daugert said. Daugert said he looked forward tohearing from the students. "I fully expect certain of my faculty members to begin picketing anddemonstrating at student meetings," he said. "That would seem to be the next logical stage ofdevelopment. It's time the faculty were heard in student affairs," Daugert said. Representatives ofvarious political groups and student organizations met in the VU Lounge last Thursday for the secondOpen Forum discussion. —photo by adams Political groups will state beliefs at forum The third of aseries of Open Forums concerning various political beliefs will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. today in the VU lounge.

Any political group iswelcome to attend the meeting, a spokesman from student government said. SAAB representsstudents An active student organization which receives little recognition is the Student AcademicAdvisory Board (SAAB). The Board was created last spring with the purpose of establishing anautonomous student organization concerned with student matters and which would voice studentopinion and advise the Adademic Council. Board members are Seniors Larry Springer, chairman, Kar-olGerlach, Karen Hendrickson, Dan Merryfield, Bob Hicks, Liz McKay, Sophomores Gene Oliver, Lance Bowie, Angus Mc- Lane, and Freshman Rosemary Parker. The Academic Council has approved aSAAB proposal to place four students on the Council with full voting and membership privileges,according to Springer. The issue is presently before the Faculty Council. The Board has reviewedthe college policy on credit for military service and non-educational experiences. The AcademicCouncil approved their proposal of three P.E. credits and additional credits for classes in which thestudent could prove that the experience was justifiable. SAAB has also recommended the involvement of students on the policy making committee of each department, with the students having the samevoting privileges as each faculty member. In this way, Springer said, students could voice grievancesabout classes or instructors. The education department and SAAB are discussing the Board's proposalof the revision of Education 301 with provisions for the entire teacher - education program. The Board is currently involved with planning the minority culture curriculum for Cluster College m.

First,acknowledge the fact that all kinds of people with various backgrounds and cultures make up the collegepopulation. Second, face the reality that the American institutions of higher learning are giving us aone-sided, white, anglo-saxon education. Our educational system is the means by which we all,regardless of our ethnic individuality, are thrust into the mainstream, possessing white attitudes,viewpoints and ideals. Why should those whose backgrounds and cultures differ from the white, anglo-saxon be required to give up this uniqueness? With no meaningful courses with which non-whites canidentify, this, in essence, is what the college demands. Black studies can relate to the Black Man'sexperience in ways that the existing educational system is incapable of doing, and Black professorswould naturally be the most qualified to teach Black Studies. The refusal to accept the Black role in thehistory of this country has resulted in a distorted account of it—a miseducation of all. How can Blackpeople be expected to take the white American experience seriously if white America does not acceptthe Black experience? It is sad that most white students have not made the effort to understand theproblems and aims of the Black Studies Movement. One of the whites fears is that of a separatistcollege within a college. The question of separatism, like integration-ism is irrelevant. The goal is theelevation of a people through the means of education. For the benefit of Black students and whitestudents alike, it is imperative that the proposed Cluster College III be oriented specifically towardBlack Studies and become an immediate reality. —Cynthia Eddings Finals week tensions With finalsweek almost upon the student populace, many of them find themselves in an unusual and undefineablestate of depression. Whether this is attributed to the advent of finals or not is uncertain. This state ofdepression is particularly devastating to the Freshmen. However, no particular section of the studentbody is immune. Lessons and lectures which had some semblance of meaning and relativity to one'scollege career, suddenly become vague conglomerations of facts and random bits of knowledge.Students who dutifully read the assigned material and faithfully attended classes, find themselves ina lethargic state of uncaring. Homework piles up, and effort to keep it up to date noticeably slackens.Crystal clear goals, and the shining path to the future dim into rather terrifying uncertainty. "Will I make i t ?" "What am I going to do with this assorted accumulation of humanity credits, math course, andscience sequences?" Questions like these rage through the frosh's The American way. head as wellas a number of upperclass^ men's. All of these worries compound the depression, increasing theseriousness of this problem. With the uncaring attitude come study problems and eventual gradeproblems, probation or failure. It is necessary to recognize this problem and take steps to cure it.Relaxation is an important key to this. It is essential to find time to unwind after the long gruelingdays. Tension won't be able to build up. Getting out and going to college activities will enable a student to feel there is more to college than physics labs, and humanity lectures. A regular study time is also agood method of preventing a drastic homework build up and its accompanying desire to chuck it all andconsider a different occupation in life aside from that of a student. Depression may not be a thing onecan point to and label but it is present at times and it must be conquered if a student is to really get theenjoyment and satisfaction out of college which is obtainable. —Marilyn Williams guest editorial Theage demanded . . . How would YOU like to be Western Front Editor? You can have the job with very littlehassle. You don't even have to have any journalistic knowledge, experience, or even any burningambition to spend thirty hours a week on "extracurricular activities." All you need is a 2.5 GPA tomanage a $18,805 dollar business. And it seems that almost anyone can have the job, except MarkHoffmann. Hoffmann, for the second time in as many quarters, was denied the job by the "Student"Publications Committee. Despite his 14 credits of journalism at Western, his work as Sports Editor ofhis high school paper, his work on the editorial staff at Olympic JC, his work as a sports writer for theBremerton Sun, and his work as ad salesman, ad manager, reporter, Business Manager, and ManagingEditor of the Western Front, he was denied the appointment. Qualified? Obviously not. He only has a2.36 GPA. The fact that it might be much higher if he had not spent so much time working for the paperhas nothing to do with it. Of course. The fact that the Publications Board at an earlier meeting had giveneditorship of another student publication to a student who told them he had only a 2.4 GPA has nothingto do with it. Of course. There are a couple of other slight qualifications if you want the editorship. Forone, you have to be able to work with an advisor who was indirectly responsible for the resignation of oneeditor and several staff members. Hoffmann has had his share of hassles with this advisor, and thisantagonism has been a substantial factor in his being denied the j ob twice. Also, references from theNew York Times and/or the Christian Science Monitor would be helpful. Two editorial applicants who metthe requirements of the great God GPA, plus (as an added bonus) had significant past journalisticexperience were also turned down. So, all you scholars, come out of the woodwork. Put that 3.5 to thetest. Turn your applications into Miss Hunt, HU 333, by Friday noon.

Your letter is a rehash of a position already made manifest* ly known to the academicand student community at Western. Furthermore, the rhetoric of the letter seems unfortunatelycharacteristic of too many of the proclamations that have appeared from BSU. Such phrases as "Racism still prevails" and (racism) "is a white problem"; "Black and white students are suffering under atotally biased institution": "they (the teachers) instruct courses which are irrelevant and of noconsequence to the needs of Black and non-white students" may sound eloquent and insightful, but areessentially empty rhetoric containing no useful information. This kind of letter was perhaps oncenecessary to make the populace aware that a problem existed which needed immediate attention.Now. however, the time has come for more positive action. To BSU I would say address yourself to andspecify precisely your position on such questions as under what guises is racism prevailing on thiscampus, how the curriculum can be altered to suit your needs while still serving a basic function ofdisseminating knowledge, and how can we meet with you to constructively discuss the inequities youfeel exist here. If we of the academic community are to engage in any kind of meaningful dialogue with you than it is obligatory mat your views and your alternatives be made clearly known to us. Your openletter hardly fulfills this requirement. Laurence Miller Assistant Professor Psychology SM goalsclarified Editor: In response to the letters of Mr. Constantine and Mr. Pru-nier as printed in the November 26 issue of your paper, I am somewhat confused by the loosely used term "hate peddlers."Especially since it was the writer himself admitting to "the hatred I felt". , Letter from the BSU Thefollowing is an open letter to students, faculty and administrators. Dear White Folk: As it is, there hasbeen great controversy over the issue about the Black Studies Curriculum. Since spring quarter lastyear it's existed on paper and in promises, but not in actuality. Therefore at this point, it becomesapparent there is the dire need for clarification as to what in essence is at stake and to give reasonswhy. First of all, it is our believ that racism in this country is predicated on ones' particular learningexperience, whether individual or institutional (since human beings have to have racism conveyed to them in some manner before they become racist). Here we want only to deal with the latter. Institutions areno more then the people who run them,—in other words White. One would think that where you have asituation where the very synthesis of ideals takes place, where the explicating of truths are examined,that there is some soft of integrity required. But we know such isn't the case. That such an institutioncould only function merely as an instrument for proporting what is the status-quo, is itself an irreputableabomination; but that the idea of change is to be interpreted as change itself is absurd. Why should weaccept something as progress and be satisfied with that, when we know that it shouldn't have been any other way in the first place. As Malcom X said, for two-hundred years we've had a knife in our backs,and now they expect us to be happy just because it's been pulled out. To do otherwise would be to givecredit where credit isn't due. We know what you have done, but this is inadequate and only a step. Whatwe must know is this: what is being done now? What plans are there for the future? And when will theseplans be a concrete realization. —Black Students Union I am also saddened by the fact that Mr.Constantine was undoubtedly among those who attended our meeting with other than constructivethoughts in mind. The charges of Mr. Prunier, likewise, gives one little hope for any meaningful or open-minded communication. I would, however, like to comment upon a few statements. First, we havecirculated no petition — let us give credit where credit is due. Second, we do plan to bring speakers toWestern once the funds are made available. This is bad? Third, there is a possibility that we "may evendemonstrate against demonstrations of the Radical Coalition.". Fourth, while we certainly do not servethe aims of the Radical Coalition, the idea of " . . .politically activating the heretofore sluggish majorityof students at Western" is not, I believe, without some merit. Fifth, please do not waste your valuabletime seekingsome "collusion" between The Silent Majority and any other organization, student orotherwise. And lastly, do not abuse your intelligence by sounding like a McCarthy doll — and I am notreferring to Charlie. Constructively yours, Lynn H.

Designed by Royal A. McClure Co., Seattle Architects, the apartment carries the projectname "Housing 1970" and is scheduled for completion by fall quarter of that year. Its completion willincrease the amount of on°campus housing to nearly 3,500 beds. Construction cost is$3,200,000.,includ-ing landscaping, fees and furnishings. The construction cost, to be paid entirelyfrom student fees and room-rental charges is expected to be less per student than dormitory-styleresidence halls, according to campus planners. The primary reason for reduced cost is that withindividual cooking facilities installed in each apartment, no extensive kitchen or dining hall facility isrequired. Apartment units will contain four students each in two sleeping- study rooms, plus a lounge, kitchen, dining and bathroom facilities. Also included in the project will be several two-studentapartments with similar facilities. Construction is expected to begin during the spring of 1969.

Student trustee legislation discussed at prexy meeting Tuesday, December 10, 1968Western Front 7 AS President Noel Bourasaw met at Eastern last weekend with presidents from theother four state colleges and universities. Meeting with Bourasaw were student presidents ThornGunn, University of Washington, Ray Crabbs, Washington State. Mike Murphy, Eastern WashingtonState and Austin Cooper, Central Washington state. Bourasaw, chairman of the Council ofWashington State Student Body Presidents, said the meeting was planned to legislation authorizing student trustees. "There were campus problems in the '50's about which no one ever asked student opinion," Bourasaw said. "Now we see the current violence phenomenon." Bourasaw said it is toolate to just plug up the holes with halfway student participation. "Perhaps foresight now couldeliminate the need for violent confrontation." Bourasaw established preliminary contacts last summer. The council met with Gov. Dan Evans in October and received his initial approval for the idea.Bourasaw said. He had previously discussed the proposal with State Senator Martin Durkan, whoendorsed the idea. "We are gratified that legislators have not been opposed to the proposal,"Bourasaw said. "Our only opposition so far has been from the two state university presidents and theUniversity of Washington Regents." The Council also presented their proposal to the state legislature joint budget committee Nov. 23. Although the committee said they were not the ones who acts oneducational matters the council gained many allies in private, Bourasaw said. Bourasaw said thecouncil is also seeking local support from ad hoc citizens committees in major cities throughout thestate. one of the best ways to say MERRY CHRISTMAS is with beautiful flowers from 1426 CornwallAve. GOLDEN RULE BELLINGHAM'S # 1 SKI SHOP HEADQUARTERS FOR HEAD SKIS LANGEBOOTS REIKER BOOTS FISCHER SKIS WHITE STAG CLOTHING ROFFE CLOTHING HIGHESTTRADES ON METAL and CUSS SKIS | RENTAL SPECIAL The complete outfit includes famous Reikerdouble boots, A T Blitz skis with permanent base, Salomon step-in safety bindings, and A Taluminum poles.

In most cases their sin was notwriting editorials judged obscene, or even printing literary works with four-letter words —but justprinting news stories containing things their "keeper" didn't like. And in some cases the opposition, leveled superficially against "obscenity." was obviously attempting to clamp down on student editorsfor political or personal reasons. Two things have become clear this fall as this rash of censorshipspreads from small tightly controlled papers to large university dailies: the people who run colleges areno longer so sure they really want students independently running their own newspapers; and a greatmany of academia's "forward- looking" adults may be able to take their students' radical politics, but they still have a Mayor-Daley-like obsession with obscenity. The word "fuck-," longacom-monplace inyouthful vocabularies, and adult as well, has sent countless printers of college papers into such ragethat they censor the copy, refuse to print the papers, even try to get schools to discipline editors. Andadministrators, who dont mind hearing the word spoken and know as well as anyone else that the wordis a fixture of the language, try to fire editors and have papers confiscated when they see it in print.CARDINAL STAFF REPRIMANDED . At the University oi Wisconsin the Board of Regents narrowly refrained from firing Daily Cardinal Editor Greg Graze and Managing Editor Steve Reiner because thepaper printed a story containing "unfit language." The story was a CPS release on the SDSOctober National Council meeting, quoting from a member of the Up Against the Wall/Mother-fuckerfaction. The editorial board of the Cardinal was instead ordered to appear before the Regents thiswinter with "a policy of sanctions to prevent further incidents." The entire Cardinal staff and its Board ofControl signed a front-page letter to the Regents, calling the attack on the paper "only a beachhead inthe total effort by the regents to exert control over every aspect of the University operation, student life and faculty freedom." Ths staff also printed paragraphs from books required by many of theUniversity's English classes, including Shakespeare, James Joyce and Norman ReCnte nter SKI YOUR BEST rent: hartzs SKI-PACKAGE wi •wIMb Reg 29.95 A T GRAND PRIX SKI 19.00 KOFLACH 5BUCKLE BOOT ..39.95 P-K POLES R 5?5 4.95 TRYOLIA STEMN'S 22.90 SAFETY STRAP FREESKI TIE STRAPS FREE MOUNTING FREE TOTAL 86.80 TAX 3.91 RENTAL PRICE 32-50 Use ThisHigh Quality Ski Outfit For Any 11 Weeks During The Ski Season.

Mailer, which contain language more obscenethan that in the news story. Less than a week later, the Michigan State University state News printed astory about the Wisconsin controversy, quoting from the CPS story and from the Cardinal's literaryselections. The paper's adviser (or general manager, in bureaucratic lingo) claimed the editors hadviolated their contract with their printer. Since he had no power to fire the staff, but does control thepaper's funds, the adviser, Louis Berman, cut the salaries of three top editors whom he consideredresponsible for the story. EDITOR AT PURDUE FIRED At Purdue University the situation is evenmore serious. Editor-in-chief William Smoot was removed from his position by the school's Vice-President for Student Affairs, who claimed in his firing letter that the Exponent had violated journalistic codes and "offended the sensibilities of the public." The offensive item in this case was a columncritical of the university presidents "Regarding a vicious rumor concerning President Novde . . . letus set the record straight. Our president is not anal°reten-tive . . . he dumped on the students justlast week," the column opened. Although the administration mandate provided that a new editorshould be chosen by the Exponent's senior staff members, the 15 members of the senior editorialboard said the paper's editorial policy would be the same with or without Smoot. PROBLEMS WITHPRINTERS At a number of schools, the paper's problem has been not the administration but its printer.At New York City's Hunter College, for example, the job printer who handles many of the city's small college papers refused to print the Envoy's first edition this fall because a story about the ChicagoDemocratic convention contained the word "fuck." The paper got another printer. The Oakland (Mich.)University Observer in its second fall issue ran a four-page supplement containing a longautobiographical piece by a Black student. The Observer's printer also refused to run thesupplement. The dispute still has not been settled: the Observer has another printer. In Putney, Vt.,the printer of the Lion's Roar had refused to print any more issues on the paper. In a letter to thepresident of Windham College, which publishes the paper, the printer said the Lion's Roar was "notthe type of publication we choose to print." He objected to a Liberation News Service article on 'TheMyth of Vaginal Orgasm" and a cartoon about LBJ and the "credibility gap." His refusal to print nearly destroyed the small paper financially, since he owned the only offset press in Putney and if even oneissue of the paper were canceled the loss in advertising revenue would have been a disaster. Morethan one student editor has opened his paper in the morning to discover censorship by the printer. Lastmonth the Daily Californian in Berkeley, which ran a story about a pamphlet being distributed oncamp* us by radical politicial groups, discovered that their printer had a fondness for dashes in themiddle of some words. Most of the trouble with printers comes from small jobbers who edit all thecopy their typesetters set and have set themselves up as protectors of decency in the printedword. Lou Sokall, manager of Alert Printing Company in New York City, which handles 20 local studentpapers, said it all; ^'Somewhere down along the line somebody has to say something about smut. I'mjust trying to do something to protect those nice people who still cringe when they see the word (fuck) in print." It's all very reminiscent of Mayor Daley, yelling at Connecticut Senator Ribicoff to "go fuckhimself" on the floor of the Democratic convention, and then complaining piously about demonstratorsoutside bad-mouthing cops.

A standing-room only audience gave the performers a standing ovation at the end of the three act light opera. "The Barber of Seville", accompanied by an orchestra conductedby John Fenwick, is making a tour of the Canadian and Pacific Northwest. This opera is a particularlyfine selection for touring because of its light catchy tunes, which were translated into English, andbecause it requires a relatively small cast. Cornelis Opthof, Dutch-born Canadian baritone, captured thecrowd as Figaro, the barber, with his booming voice, precise diction, and superb acting. SheilaPiercey, soprano, played every bit the coquetisn Ro= sina while singing strong, clear notesthroughout. jerold Siena, who played Ro-sina's lover, Cosunt Almaviva, had a slow first act. but as therole got hammier he became much better, almost stealing the show from Opthof. "The Barber of Seville"is an eighteenth century comic opera by Gioacchino Rossini. Figaro, the local barber and busybody,tries to unite Rosina and her secret suitor Count Almaviva. Since Rosina is the beautiful and wealthyward of old Dr. Bartolo, played by Oskar Raulfs. bass, the plot takes on a series of complicated slap-sick disguises to marry Rosina to the Count before Dr. Bartlolo does. In the end, the old doctor isforced to comply, and the opera ends on a happy note with the singing of Count's and Rosina's marriagenotary.

More than 40 courses — non-graded, non-credit, most meeting in homes in the evenings — are being presented by the experimentaleducation program which began its operations this Fall. The Free U registration booth is located outside the coffee shop in the VU and will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday. Catalogues listingthe various offerings are available there. Winter Quarter classes will begin the second week in January. Last Quarter, many of the courses were filled or had waiting- lists due to high registration."Therefore, we urge those interested to sign up this week in order to guarantee that they'll get into theclasses of their choice," said Dr. Bernard Wei-ner, Free U Coordinator. More man 300 students wereenrolled in the Fall Quarter, ranging from a WWSC dean to a 72-year-old nurse, from a 17- year-oldBellingham high school student to a set of grandparents from Nooksack. Of the 75 persons involved with these courses — either as class leaders or consultants—Weiner reports that 16 are on the WWSCfaculty, 19 are WWSC students, and 30 are community people, unaffiliated in any way with WWSC."This heavy community involvement is quite encouraging," Weiner said. "One of our major aims is to somehow bridge the various gaps which exist in Bellingham — generational, educational,occupational, etc. And we think allowing various kinds of people to meet one another in these informallearning situations is one key to this breakthrough." Registration fees are $5 for the first course, and $3 for each course thereafter. The fees are set by the Free U Board of Trustees (elected by the FreeU Students), who are Rev. Richard Orr, Minister of Education, First Baptist Church, Bellinghan; NoelBourasaw, Student Body President, WWSC; Lawrence West. WWSC student and artist; Al Doan, AS Legislator.

In order to provide a perspective for the reasonable consideration of this proposal, I call yourattention to the fact that other groups included in the College community — administration, faculty,office staff, and the rest — have never asserted a right to be represented on the Board. We of the faculty have recognized that representation on a Board which is empowered to offer us employment, toterminate our services, to act on recommendations for promotion and tenure, to make decisions onsalary, sabbatical leave, sick leave, and other matters of faculty welfare would create a serious problemof conflict of interest for any faculty member designated to serve on the Board. We of the faculty have no desire to wield the power of a Trustee, and we are well satisfied with the role that the President plays inpresenting our views and recommendations to the Board and with the opportunity afforded us to haverepresentatives present at Board meetings for purposes of consultation and mutual enlightenment. But it is unthinkable that one of us should share in the final authority that the State of Washington hasentrusted to the Board to make decisions of the kind that I have described. A Faculty member on theBoard would be in a position analogous to that of a plaintiff or defendant sitting on the jury or on thebench in the trial of his own case in a court of law. I invite you to consider the relationship of a student at Western to our Board of Trustees. In the first place, a student is admitted to the College on the basis ofconditions determined by the Board. He remains in good standing only as long as he measures up tocertain standards of performance and behavior that are prescribed by the Board. He receives his degreeand certification only after he has fulfilled certain requirements that the Board and other agencies of theState have decreed. Finally, the Board administers State educational funds that provide 88.7 per cent ofthe $1,450 needed for the tuition of each student for the three quarters of an academic year. In a verytangible, pecuniary sense a student at Western is a ward of the State and of the Board, who thereforestand in the relationship which is well described in the Latin phrase in loco parentis that has aroused somuch student wrath during the last few years. With similar propriety the relationship of the graduate ofWestern to the College is defined in another Latin phrase, Alma Mater, mat is, foster or nourishingMother. My suggestion is that you and the other students of Western be content with the opportunitiesfor communication with the Board that are as fully available to you as they are to the faculty. You do notneed to wield the powers of a student member of the Board to secure your rights. Indeed, if you gainedthose powers, you would be hopelessly compromised, if not in your own eyes, at least in the eyes of any impartial and reasonable bystander. I view with horror the possibilities of wheeling and dealing, backdoorintrigue, pressure tactics, and other evils that could easily arise if a student were empowered to share inthe final authority of the Board to make decisions on any of the matters that I have specified above.Sincerely, Arthur C.

Schulz ONLY gt; / at your college bookstore Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. continued from page 2 keteers, thatis, the cost of training one man to fuck over toe mind of other men is also something they can't affordindividually to bear. So they socialize these costs. They get the taxpayers, the mass of wage andsalary workers, to pay. And needless to say, they do not socialize these costs. They get thetaxpayers, the mass of wage and salary workers, to pay. And needless to say, they do not socializethe profits they make from our efforts. Those they keep for themselves. The other big function is Stateas a point of social control, a point of social control over domestic and foreign subject populations, apoint of rule over the blacks, browns, and other subject populations at home, and a point of imperial rule. What are teachers, social workers, welfare administrators, sociologists, political scientists, andthe rest expected to do anyway? Do they provide information, strategies and tactics to theunderclasses, to help them in their fight with the slumlords, banks "and corporations. Hardly. Theyprovide information about the subject populations to the rulers, to help the rulers rule more efficiently. Asmy friend Martin Nicolaus has said, the eyes of the sociologist are turned downward, his palms areturned upward. How does this all apply to the specific situation here? First, although State says thatthey want us to be educated citizens, responsible citizens, they fire a George Murray, a man whorepresents one section of that citizenry, I conclude from this that they are full of shit. The truth isthat they have fired him because his very being, his existence, subverts the real purposes of SanFrancisco State. They do not want the enemy, the subject population, within the gates. And all GeorgeMurray wants is to be a man, not a means to an end. This is his crime, this is the crime in the capital*ist mode of production, and in all socialist states which still alienate labor, and man from man. Not onlydoes he want to be a man, but insists that this is his fight. What gall! Second, although State saysthat it wants to develop responsible citizens, people who can take control, social control over theirlives, in fact it wants victims, things, objects. Otherwise, why remove student control from studentfunds? Because stuaents are irresponsible? No. But because they do not want us to waste scarce,precious government funds. They are afraid of what we will do to them. They are afraid that we will usethem to develop us as creative, combative, loving, politically conscious human beings, real men. Thatis their fear. You who are striking are not striking against Dumke, or Smith, nor still less their hirelings — you are striking against capitalism itself, against GM and the rest of the ruling class. You arestriking against capitalism because you are a worker- in-being, a member of a class-in-bemg, notyet borne, but becoming.

Magnolia 734-8600 er too, a journeyman worker, not anapprentice. The San Francisco State strike can be seen as a dress rehearsal, one of the hundreds, likethe Columbia strike, for the takeover of power, state power, in the future, by people who want to be men,to control their environment not be controlled by it, by men who refuse any longer to be treated, and to see themselves, as things. There are two ways to make a revolution, to reclaim our manhood. One is the necessary confrontation, the mass confrontation of thousands who say I REFUSE. At one pointin history, in some future time, those mass confrontations, strikes, mass fighting cops, sit-ins, marches, demonstrations, will be so large, that it will be possible to take over the means of coercion, thepolice stations and their weapons and the psychotics who man them, in the name of the people, in thename of mankind. Meanwhile, they are not to be denigrated, merely because they are temporaryfailures, merely because they add to frustration on frustration. The point is that they make a man feellike a man, instead of a thing — they help a man fight alienated labor. Nor should the relativelymodest, but must more difficult, day to day struggle for control over the conditions of existence bedenigrated. It is just as necessary, and I believe takes more of a commitment, to attempt to establishcontrol in the classroom, toe factory, the office. Today it is the mass confrontation. Every day itshould be! Every day it should be attempts to control curriculum, attempts to initiate curriculum,attempts to get black history classes which are taught by blacks who do not trumpet from toe rooftopsthat blacks, too. led the invasion of Mexico, killed Geronomo, won Medals of Honor fighting imperialistwars in toe Pacific, but historians who understand black history as it really is, as' the history of themost downtrodden part of the working class. Every day it should be attempts to freak out professorsin their class who refuse to treat you like men; to correct their misinterpretations of history, ofeconomics. Demand that poetry be put in a political as well as aesthetic context. End classes,schedules, which fragment men, and make a student run from here to there, willy nilly, withoutthought. End the grade system, which in microcosm is the wages system, the system of individualrewards for social products; force the sociologists to put their talents at the service of the victims ofsociety rather than the rulers. In short, counter-institutions WITHIN the established institutions, notoutside of them, where nistory passes them by. In short, self-determination where you are AT, not insome Utopian future.

Whilefraternities are still strong at Southern andMidwest-era universities, they are declining in power andprestige at many institutions on both the East and West coasts. At Yale University and the University of California in Berkeley, fraternities have been closing down at the rate of one or two a year. Not toolong ago Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., abolished all fraternities. As social and intellectualvalues change on campus, and as more universities provide modern housing for students,fraternities are losing much of their original reason for existing. In response to the change, Stanfordclaims to have the first coeducational fraternity this year. A case in point of a fraternity dying forresisting modern pressures for change is Phi Delta Theta's chapter on the Berkeley campus.Departments offer graduate assistantships The deadline for applications for graduate student aid isMarch 15, 1969. Graduate assistantships in all departments offering graduate programs are available.Stipends range from $225 to $300 a month for nine months depending upon services rendered in theassistantship portion of the program. Also beiner offered are positions as residence hall directorsand assistant residence hall directors.

According to the Sunday New York Times, the house closed thisyear after 96 years, during which it was one of the strongest links in a powerful national chain. Only350 new men students went through rushing this year-compared with a thousand or more prior to theF.S.M. Of these. 285 pledged the 39 fraternities at Berkeley,, an average of seven per house. PhiDelta Theta didn't land a single pledge. The nine surviving members held an emergency meeting with the alumni early in October. "Telling the alumni was the toughest thing I ever hadtodo," David Roebucksaid. A clean-cut short blond youth who calls bearded students "Abraham Lincolns " Roebuck said thedemise of the fraternity was due to a change in attitude toward the Greeks on the part of theincoming students. "Phi Delts, traditionally are good-time guys. We represent two things modern youthcoming to college these days dont like: tradition and the Estate lishment," Roebuck said. Otherfraternities, he said, have become "boarding houses with Greek letter names," but the remaining PhiDelts refused to take in members who were not cast in their mold. BSU members turn out to supportBlack basketball player Jimmy Jones at Western's first game of the season against Sacramento StateCollege last Tuesday. —photo by gable Peter E. Steiner, assistant dean of students at the university, said the system must change to survive. Fraternities should have less ritual, he said, to make way forthe new independent kind of student. Meanwhile, as fraternities and sororities across the nation areslowly bowing out, the Phi Delts' big" house is being stripped of furniture. It includes a great moose head that decorated the living room. According to Roebuck, the moose head was the gift of alumnusWilliam R.

Baker's new liftsaccommodate skiers instructor for Baker's many skiers One of the many lures Western has forstudents is the easily accessible snow ski area of Mt. Baker. Only 52 miles from Belling-ham, the Mt.Baker ski area is keeping up with the growth of the area and Western. This season, two new lifts arescheduled to open, hopefully before Christmas. The new lifts will increase the capacity of the area tohandle 5,000 skiers per hour, compared to 1,900 per hour last year. The expansion will result inshorter waiting lines on tows and lifts, and a ski area almost three times the area as before. Servicingthe lower two thirds of Shuksan Arm and providing runs into Razor Hone Canyon is the Murray-Lattadouble chair lift. It is 2,950* long, with a 1,250' vertical drop. The new Up V Up lift links Razor HoneCanyon with the regular ski area. It will provide a double, off the snow, loading ramp at the top and is3,430* in total length. Runs, on the Galena side, have a drop of 240', and 650' on the Razor Hone side.Other new features of the area include additional packing equipment, a redecorated lodge and 30speaker stereo and public address system. Overnight facilities for 100 persons are available at thelodge. Seven more private establishments offer overnight accommodations at nearby Glacier.Complete ski rental is available at the ski shop. The ski school gives both morning and afternoonlessons, privately or in groups no larger than eight. Ski school members at Mt. Baker couldn't ask formuch more of a qualified instructor than Franz Gabl. Gabl was a Silver Medal winner in the downhillrace, during the 1948 Olympics, as a member of the Austrian Olympic team. He then coached theCanadian Olympic teams in 1956 and 1960. During the Summer of 1960 he started a summer racingschool at Mt. Baker. He started as a full time instructor there in 1963. His summer classes have beenstrictly for competitive skiers up to now, but he plans to include a recreational program this summer.The summer classes attract many of the top young skiers from throughout the United States. Duringthe winter his ski school is set up to teach the recreational skier. The school runs through April andclasses are held both mornings and afternoons. Besides running the ski school Gabl also operates theski shop, and owns a specialty ski shop in downtown Bellingham. Early snow opens Baker—first bigskiing season predicted Mt. Baker unofficially claims to be the first ski area open this season. An earlysnow made it possible for the lifts to open Oct. 12, seven weeks ahead of last year, and with a crowd of600 people. The ski area already has 75 inches of snow, to lead the rest of the state's slopes.Predictions are calling for one of the biggest snowfall seasons in recent history. Operating daysduring the regular season (through April 13) will be Friday through Monday, with at least two tows inoperation. The area will be open everyday except Christmas, from Dec. 21 to Jan. 6. Chairs 2 and 3 will be running from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Chairs 1 and 4 will operate from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Onweekdays all lifts will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. After Easter the lifts will only be open onweekends and holidays. Snow conditions permitting, the area will stay open, through the Slush Cup,July 4, to the middle of July.

Terry is down on "hate peddlers," and yet at the same time (he or she) is trying to pry my moum open and feed meenough hate to choke on. Terry, if the hate that you felt at the Silent Majority meeting was unbelievable,so is your hate for the Black Panthers. In essence, you are telling me not to go to the Black Panther"market" or the Silent Majority "market," because they will sell me a bag full of hate. "Come oh over to my market," you say, "and I'll sell you some good stuff." What is this good stuff you are going to sell me? What have you got to offer? The answer to these questions is in your letter. The good stuff whichyou plan to sell me is a STUDENT COOP BOOK NEWS There are some interesting children's booksavailable on the mezzanine: The Little Prince, Story of Babar, Hailstones and Halibut Bones, Album ofNorth American Birds and Animals and several Pooh books.

Welcome to the realm of me hate peddlers, Terry. Your cart is ready and waiting, but don't be surprised if business is slow. Perhaps I am wrong in assuming that the author of the letterwas serious. Could it be possible that this Terry Constantine is an infinitely talented comedian? Only acomedian could hate and condemn hate at the same time, unless of course it was the concept of hateitself that was being protested. Oh, incidentally, I am aligned with no student organization, so you canput your labeling machine away. Lyle Wilson Freshman BSU gripes justified Editor: First, let me make it clear that I am not presently a student enrolled here. What I have to say is directed towards meindividuals which make up the BSU, and not towards the cause or causes for which it stands. For, asanother individual, I am in agreement with these causes — as much in agreement as is possible for awhite man. Racism does "still prevail" here, and it is a white problem. Black and white students aresuffering under a partially bias institution, it can not be totally bias (as the individuals of the BSU claim),since the individuals which make up the BSU are contained within and relevant to the institution. Itis true that *«teachers are for the most part" (quotes mine) white. Yet, this "for the most part" could not have been said a year ago. Furthermore, the fact is that students at this institution and people in thisscrewed-up country of ours are for the most part white. (People in the world, however, are for the mostpart non-white.) I do not mean to imply by this that the white majority at WWSC is right in what they do. I merely wish to point out that the statement printed by the individuals of the BSU doesn't have anyrhetorical value, it doesn't say anything, it's like saying the sky is for the most part blue. To say that"there hasnt been any significant progress" is to deny the sizable persuasive influence the BSU hasalready made on this campus. get the bugs out of your Beetle —service calls made —parts andaccessories for dune buggies TED'S GARAGE 2215 Vi Cornwall 7 3 3 - 9 5 01 The BSU is nownegating the just and fair demands which were made by them last year. The ones which the college has only partially met. In short, they seem to imply (though I know they don't mean to imply) that theinclusion of Mr. Butler, Mr. Price, and the other Blacks whom I have not yet had the opportunity to meet, is "not significant." At any rate, dear Black individuals of the BSU, all I'm trying to do is encourageyou to sharpen your "tell it like it is" abilities so that you won't receive any more intellectual funkletters like this. Tim Leffler Former Student Student government O.K. Editor: I "can remember two,three, yes even four years ago here when there was cause for students to be dissatisfied with theirstudent government. However, I sat in on one meeting and the following things were being responsibleand intelligently discussed: faculty tenure and promotion, student determination of curriculum,student membership on the Academic Council and the Academic Senate. It is unbelievable whatthe AS President n a s accomplished in two months. We have the Free University, the antiquated pub board is about to have rebirths we have real gut-dialogue between faculty, students and administrators,the profs who should be scared of their precarious and ill-founded existence here — are, andgenerally, Western is becoming an exciting place to go to school. Yett all I hear from the SilentMajority is "let's take it easy. This is too fast. Students aren't responsible enough." Let us keep ourminds on the task at hand and give credit where credit is due.

And like more than half of those people, the Longs were told they owed more money. But,unlike most of these people, the Longs decided to fight. Philip Long spoke Tuesday to a political science class about his three years of combat with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). His problems began in1969 with an examination of his tax return. The IRS questioned five items in the return. Feeling that theitems were correct, Long suggested that the question be taken up in the court by a jury. "The supervisorfor the IRS asked me if I knew what a jeopardy assessment was," said Long. "I told him I didn't. He toldme I'd better find out." Long found out that jeopardy assessments were designed to be levied againstpeople who are obviously cheating on their taxes and might flee to avoid prosecution. "A jeopardyassessment allows the IRS to take everything you own and keep it until you pay them what you owe. The amount of the assessment has nothing to do with how much you owe," said Long. "And, there is nocourt review of jeopardy assessments." After that first meeting, Long received notice from the IRS that33 errors had been found in his 1966, '67 and '68 returns. The total amount due came to over $38,000. At this point most Americans either pay or argue. To fight is often more costly than to pay. Those whoargue, however, often have the amount they must pay lowered. The Longs' research showed that theaverage amount finally paid averaged only 28.77 per cent of the original amount, about 40 cents on thedollar, • However, rather than bargain with the IRS, Long took his problem to the people in a series ofads in the Washington Post. Eleven ads were run under the title "Life Under the IRS, or A Day in thePress-Rather than a Day in Court." "After the ads," Long said, "I got a letter from the IRS saying that amistake had been made. Instead of $38,000,1 actually owed $42,000." Long, with the .help of his wife,decided to fight by learning all he could about the rules and precedents used by the IRS to makedecisions. The Longs soon discovered that much of the information about the inner workings of theagency were classified ~ and not available to the public. A federal law, the Freedom of Information Act of 1966, which was meant to open all agencies' non-secret files to the public, was theonly tool the Longs'had to get their information. The tool worked, but very slowly. The IRS consented, but only partially. TheLongs had to go to court to get all they had asked for, and it wasn't until after a year and a half of struggle that they gained access to the last (cont. on pg. 6) Early-release gets trustees9 approval by ALICECOLLINGWOOD Prisoners will come to Western, possibly by spring quarter, under an early-releasestudy program approved in a 2-1 vote by the Board of Trustees at a special meeting yesterday. Aplanning committee of representatives from Western, Bellinghani Technical Institute and WhatcomCommunity College has been working on the program for several months. Prisoners under the programwill be housed at Western and will be able to study at all three institutions. Whatcom County SheriffBernie Reynolds said he is "strong on any kind of rehabilitation" program. "You can keep putting people in jail," Reynolds said, "but that's not the answer. You have to do something about putting him back onhis feet." The main concern of the board centered upon the housing of prisoners at Western. "How arethey to be disciplined or monitored?" board member Ritajean Butterworth asked. James Wilkins ofWestern's psychology department and a member of the planning committee replied that there would be24-hour surveillance in the living quarters. Board member Paul Hanson said he was opposed to theprogram because of unfavorable response he had received from some citizens of the Bellinghamcommunity. Hanson said much of the response was prompted by a recent hijacking in which one of thealleged hijackers was out of prison under a similar program. College president Charles J. Flora said hesees a "hopeful sign" that this kind of program will be able to tackle prisoner rehabilitation problems atthe local level. He said just paroling a prisoner with $50 in his pocket won't help him readjust tosociety. Flora asked the board for approval on the basis of the contribution Western could make towardrehabilitation of prisoners. Two board members were absent, but Butterworth said they were split ontheir opinions. Harold C. Philbrick, board chairman, said he felt "an air of uncertainty" about theprogram. His main concern was the risk involved in housing the prisoners at Western. the - westernfront western Washington state college IOC Vol. 65 No. 14 FRIDAY November 17,1972 Bellingham,"•"^ One out of four classes at Western is inadequate (Editor's note: This is the fourth of a five-partseries dealing with Western's curricular problems.) by KATHI SANDBOE It is a rare occasion when anumber of students agree on a certain subject, and it's even rarer to find faculty and students inagreement; but a large number of students and faculty agree that more than one fourth of a student'scollege education is inadequate in quality and extent. This proportion of a student's education is required in Western's general education program. As it stands now, a student must take 50 to 75 credits in thisprogram, depending on which option he chooses. The Academic Council's committee on curricularproblems reported that written and verbal comments they received from faculty and students show thegeneral education program to be unsatisfactory. One faculty member called the program "a waste oftime". The committee also said the reason the general education program is unsatisfactory is because itis drastically underfunded. "This college has cannibalized its lower division program, fattening its upperdivision offerings at the expense of general education. The degree of neglect involved here is little short ofcriminal and must not be permitted to continue," the committee said in its report. They also said theythought a student's degree •program should consist of a general education component balanced incredits with his area of specialization. To make this possible they recommended that the 180-credit, four-year concept of the bachelor's degree be abandoned "to insure time for an adequate general educationcomponent and a major." One of the committee's recommendations to revise the general educationprogram was to provide it with an equal share of resources. They said that to accomplish any success inthe program's revision, (cont. on pg. 12) r V Inside...

Jack Broom photo by ALAN BAUER Spiritualismand social activity will help solve the worlds' problems said Shirshir Kumar in talking about Yoga andsocial change on campus this week. The message was simple: only with unselfish love for others canwe change the existing conditions of poverty, starvation, and fighting around the world. The 17-year-oldPhillipine dadajii is one of the four spiritual teachers sent to the U.S. from India. He works out of Berkeley and is in charge of the west coast and Rocky Mountains states. He was sponsored by the AnanadaMarga Collective in Bellingham. Speaking before about 100 people in the VU Tuesday night he told of the help that Ananda Marga is doing around the wolrd He thinks the Ananda Marga Schools in India areabout four academic years ahead of the others because they teach meditation. Education is of primeimportance in this modernized form of a religious sect dating back 6,000 years. He felt Bellingham hadvery open-minded students, especially Christians who sometimes feel they must confine their love toChrist or that a yoga will somehow dilute that love. Shirshir will go to Vancouver and then to WhidbeyIsland's Cornet Bay for a weekend retreat before leaving for Boise and then Anchorage. Jaywalkers,bikers get police warning by MICHAEL HULL Bellingham's policemen are beginning a crackdown onjaywalkers and bicycle traffic law violators. Asst. Chief John Burley said problems involving both areasseem to be increasing and complaints are coming in to police headquarters daily. He would not explainwhat patrolmen would do when contacting a violator. Ticketing or warning the person in violation will beat the officer's discretion, Burley said. Jaywalkers will be the point Trustees okay college rules Rulesgoverning the college community were adopted by Western's Board of Trustees after a special publichearing yesterday. Embodied in a 44-page document, the rules are generally those under which thecollege has operated in the past. But a law passed in the 1971 session of the S t a t e L e g i s l a t u re , the Administrative Procedures Act, requires that they be in standardized written form. Since the lawwent into effect, various groups have been busy gathering the rules governing the college into a"collective document," Mike B a r n h a r t , administrative assistant to the college president, said. Therules concern student rights and responsibilities, the college housing and dining system, the schedulingand use of college facilities, meetings of the board, health and safety, admission and registrationprocedures, general conduct and access to public records and documents. Under the heading of student rights and responsibilities, the rules deal with student conduct, academic honesty, freedom ofexpression, speakers, alcoholic beverages, drugs and other areas. A section on access to publicrecords and documents defines such records and outlines the parties responsible for their safekeepingand dissemination. The Western Front will run a series of three articles summarizing and outlining themain points of some of the rules, starting with the next issue.

Until persons get used to enforcement of the old law,embarrassment tactics will be employed by officers for the most part. Officers will warn violators via loud speakers on the patrol cars. An increase in . cyclist involved accidents is one area of concern to police officers, Burley said, pointing out several infractions that will be particularly watched. Running stopsigns, riding on the wrong side of the street, riding double, two cyclists riding side by side and failing toyield to other traffic are the main violations, he said. Sex ratio lopsided at Western by SONJABROWN Out of the 497 faculty at Western last year, 78 were women. This amounts to 16 per centfemale faculty. This is just one fact that surfaced from a statistical study on the status of women atWestern, compiled through the office of Mary Robinson, associate dean of students. The report isunfinished, Robinson said. Many why's and wherefore's are still unanswered. Factors such as tenure,rank and degrees need to be correlated with existing statistics, she said. There are the numbers,however—visible indicators of not-so-visible conditions. The report is based on a comparison of maleand female faculty at Western last year and the two preceding years. Since 1969 there has been a 24per cent increase in the number of men and a 7 per cent increase in the number of women. Last yearthere was a 6 per cent decrease in the number of women—a drop from 83 in 1970-71 to 78 in 1971-72.Of all the women faculty last year, 38 per cent were in the home economics, physical education andeducation departments. There are 29 departments, including the cluster colleges. The lowerranks—assistant p r o f e s s o r , i n s t r u c t o r, lecturer—hold 61 per cent of women faculty, while43 per cent of men are in these categories. The average salary for women is $1,000 less than for men,although women stay at Western an average of two years longer, the report said. The affirmative actionprogram, a plan to develop equal employment opportunity at Western, will continue research on thestatus of women,where this report has stopped. Gay minister preaches unity by RICHARD ROFF Fieryqueries and curt challenges welcomed the Rev. Robert Sirico, a gay minister to Western Tuesday night.Endorsing homosexuality as "no more a sin than any other sin," the pastor of the MetropolitanCommunity Church in Seattle made reference to the Bible several times to support the religiousacceptance of a homosexual. "It is God's will if a person is homosexual, since they are born ahomosexual," the Rev. Sirico said. "I'm a homosexual, and I've been one ever since I can remember."Further supporting this birth concept, the Rev. Sirico said that when you are born, God blesses you withtwo things—the desire to live and your sexuality. It makes no difference whether that sexuality beheterosexual or homosexual, he said. It is the natural will of god. The reverend also projected his feelingstoward what a homosexual is mistakenly thought of as being. "We must abolish the stereotype that ahomosexual is only a man who wants to be a Equal employment plan woman or a woman who wants tobe a man. I'm a man, and I enjoy being a man", he said. "I also enjoy loving another man." According tothe reverend, any real homosexual has always been a homosexual and has not become a homosexual.In the same breath, he added that he has never known a homosexual who has become heterosexual orbeen "saved by the grace of God." The Rev. Sirico was barraged with questions from the doubtfulaudience, and many present quoted and had their own interpretations from the Bible. Noticeably ruffledand distressed, he exclaimed to Jesus fresks and straight and gay people present that he was alwayssaddened when attacked by those of the same general belief. "We all believe in the same spirit of Godand love the same God", he said. "We must all unite, not fight." He ended his address with a prayer.Senate wants tough rules Amendments intended to put "teeth" into the affirmative action program, a planto develop equal employment opportunity at Western for minority groups and women, were approved bythe All-College Senate and sent as advisements to the committee preparing the proposed programMonday. Although the section was finally passed, a controversy developed over a requirement in theamendments that everyone responsible for hiring keep a record of correspondence and interviews of allcandidates considered for a job. The record would also include the reasons for choosing the person hiredand the reasons for refusing other candidates. Sen. Marvin Olmstead said he was concerned about theextra bookwork involved, and Sen. Robert Teshara said he thought it would be sufficient to keep recordsfor minorities and women only. Sen. Constance Faulkner, spokeswoman for the senate committeedrawing up the amendments, said that she realized there was extra work involved but that an outsidecheck was needed to make the program work. The same system worked at the University of Utah, shesaid. She questioned, however, why the provost, "a white male and perhaps the busiest man oncampus", was chosen to administer the program. Several senators objected to what they saw as acontradiction in the proposed affirmative action plan. The document states in one section that there willbe preferential hiring of minorities and women in order to correct existing discrimination in employment.Another section states that persons will be hired "without regard to race, religion, color, national origin,sex or age." Several senators also objected to vagueness and potential for misinterpretation in thesection that states that race, sex, etc., will not be a factor in hiring "except where such is a bona fideoccupational qualification." Sen. Faulkner suggested than an explanation of the wording from theregulations of the Human Rights Commission be included. Sen. Hyung-Chan Kim said that there shouldbe definite criteria for job qualifications so that if there is a violation it can be readily seen. "Whoeverinterprets qualifications must have some criteria," he said. Sen. Sain Kelly asked whether information will be made public that is presented to the grievance committee on equal employment. Chairman of theAffirmative Action Committee and campus personnel officer, Fillip Leanderson, said target dates have notyet been set because Western's employment "profile" is still unknown. He said the Washington state1972 profile is: 7 per cent-ethnic minority (2.2 per cent-Spanish American, 2.2 per cent—black, 1 percent-American Indian, 1 per cent-Asain, .3 per cent-other.) Besides senators and members of theAffirmative Action Committee no one else testified at the hearing. At its Nov. 27 meeting the senate willagain consider the proposal, which must go to the Board of Trustees for approval by Dec. 7 and to thegovernor's office by Dec. 15. With the threat of withdrawing funds, federal and state governments havedirected Western to devise and carry out an equal employment plan. r Committee to study publications\ . A five-member ad hoc committee was appointed Wednesday by the College Services Council (CSC)to determine where the Student Publications Council fits into the college government. The committeewas asked to report back to the CSC by Nov. 28 with a document on where the publications councilshould fit in and, if possible, where its funding should come from. During the open hearing, CSC agreedthat a publications council should continue to exist. The publications council is the policy-setting andreview committee for the three student publications-the Western Front; Jeopardy, a literary publication;and Klipsun, a magazine. The ad hoc committee will propose a document on whether the StudentPublication Council should report to the All-College Senate directly, CSC directly, or to the AssociatedStudents Board of Directors. ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 17 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, November 17, 1972 Western Front Riders quiet over Chuckanut route Old Fairhaven site RichCollingwood photo obile homes on the move by RAHN LAHTI The mobile homes, presently located atthe south end of Western's campus, are going to be relocated several miles away to make room foranother parking lot. One unoccupied home has already been moved and the other 42 will be movedbefore the middle of December, housing director Pete Coy said. The mobile homes are being relocatedin a new development called "Bakeryiew Mobile Home Park," located in the northwest part of Bellingham near the intersection of Barnes Road and Sterling Drive. The development is expected to be completedin May or June. "It will be, by far, the best mobile home park in this county!" Coy said. Although thedevelopment won't be finished until the middle of next year, Coy has already started moving theunoccupied homes to the new site. "We're moving them as soon possible," Coy said. "First we'll movethe unoccupied homes, then the other ones. The people knew they were going to be moved when theysigned the contracts." He continued. "We moved one of the units over there, but it sank up to its axlesin tne mud. The lots aren't ready yet, so I discontinued the moving until the contractors" improve theconditions." Coy said he hoped to get all the 43 units moved by the end of this month, or at the latest,early next month. The development will eventually hold about 140 units. Western will still own only the43 units it now owns. "They're really a pretty good deal," Coy said. The mobile homes rent at $110 amonth, unfurnished, but that includes everything except electricity and telephone." "Right now we've only got about half of them rented," Coy added.

Chuckanut Drive may become a permanent bicycle route if enough positiveresponse is received by the state highways department, Marvin Chennault, state highways maintenance superintendent, said this week. Chennault said the issue had been discussed in the highways d e p a rt m e n t after three successful "Bicycle Sundays." "The highways department would consider makingthe bike route permanent if response pro or con is received. We have been waiting for comment aboutthe bicycle days, but so far have received nothing from the . public," he said. "At the present, we aren'tsure what the public wants because of the lack of response." Chennault indicated that the establishment of a permanent route would mean signs along Chuckanut and also a reduction in the speed limit."Chuckanut is narrow, anyway, and it might be good for people to slow down and see what it has tooffer. On the other hand, people that live out that way and drive in to work aren't interested in the scenery on their way to work." Chennault said that bicycle days are probably over for this year. But it mightbegin again next May • or June if the p e r m a n e n t route isn't 'established. The weather has turned too cold for any more until the winter is over, he said. During September, the peak participation wasabout 235, and yabout 435 participated during an exceptionally warm October.

More than 100 Chicanos and their supporters expressed anger and disappointment over the decision by shouting and stomping. After the Council membersrecessed abruptly, the Chicanos took over their seats and held a meeting of "the People's City Council." The "People's City Council" discussed why they should have Beacon Hill School and what they coulddo with it. After many shouts on the subject and some unflattering remarks about some of the realcouncil members, the people's council voted unanimously "that the people should have Beacon HillSchool."

BELLINGHAM OFFICE: 128 East Holly St. Silent gonorrhea discovered in returning Vietnam vets A team of doctors has found evidence suggesting that an substantial number of troopsreturning from Vietnam may have "silent" gonorrhea which could have national implications unless themen are found and treated. The doctors told a scientific meeting Monday it is possible that much of anincreasing resistance of gonorrhea germs in the United States to antibiotic drugs has been due to " i mp o r t a t i o n of resistant strains". They attribute it largely to Vietnam returnees whose owntransmisible infection was over-looked because they show no symptoms. The doctors, from the Vet'stutoring paid by VA Veterans with academic problems can get Veterans Administration (VA) financedtutoring more easily under the provisions of a law that became effective Oct. 24. The new law, which also increased educational benefits, removed the requirement that a student must be failing a course to beeligible for a VA-paid tutor. It also made tutoring available for the first time to wives, widows and children studying under the agency's d e p e n d e n t s educational assistance program. For this help, the VApaid tutors up to $50 for each month or portion of a month, up to a maximum of nine months. Under thenew law, however, the VA pays for the actual time spent tutoring, up to a maximum of $50 a month. This tends to "stretch" tutorial benefits which eligible persons may continue to use until a total of $450 isexhausted.

Pam Hawks photo Second of series Western tutorials1 giving and taking»u»»u»wiw»wiimimwiwtim by BILL BRASWELL "Hand-in-hand" at Lummi is the largest ofWestern's tutorials programs. It serves about 70 students and has a staff of about 50 volunteers. MarkRetasket, coordinator of Lummi, says Lummi is divided into two sessions on Monday and Tuesday. The Monday session is held at the Marietta Elementry school; about 30 students are involved. The sessionis partially recreational and is designed to provide new experiences for the children. The children getmore individual attention but learn to interact in large groups, Retasket said. The Tuesday sessions,which are held in the homes evolved from the Monday session. There are about 25 students involved inthis person-to-person approach. "The Monday sessions were so successful that individual parentsinvited tutors to come to he homes and . help their children," said Retasket. Retasket explained theLummi program is providing a tutorial service for the Lummi community and providing new experiencesfor the children in the program. "We have good public relations with the community," Retasket said."Children in the program come from six schools: Vista, Central Elementry, Marietta Elementry,Whatcom Middle School, Shuksan Middle School, and Bellingham High School. "Two priorities of thecoordinator are to plan activities for children from kindergarden to eleventh grade and find qualified people for each age group; and to arrange meetings with teachers in the schools," Retasket said. Retasketviews the Lummi program as a success but says that it could get better. "There is a need for more maletutors and we encourage education majors and speech majors to become involved in the tutorialsprogram also. "Tutorials would also like to have an education faculty member as an adviser to help uswith methods and techniques." "The most basic problem that we encounter is that of reading," Retasketsaid. "Many of the children's problems are reflections of community problems." "The Lummi community s u f f e r s from high unemployment, substandard housing, and an average education level of eighthgrade or less," Retasket said. "When we understand the problems of the community then we can beginto address ourselves to what we might want to accomplish with our students." ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 17 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, November 17, 1972 Western Front 5 commentary Are you all happy? letters by KATHISANDBOE If attendance is an indication of opinion, students at Western are completely happy with thegeneral education program. The Academic Council's ad hoc committee on the general education program held four open hearings, the last of which was Wednesday, in which faculty and students were invited togive their opinions of the program. At the last meeting, three students attended to give their comments.But at least two of them may be sorry they did. A Spanish-elementary education major said that shedidn't like history and would like to see that requirement dropped. One committee member, of the historydepartment, said that those who intend to teach need the broadest liberal arts education. He also said he would not like to have her teaching his children. Another student, an art major, had some complaintsabout the science and math reqirements. These were also severely criticized. The other three committeemembers are in the math and science departments. But at the other three meetings, general educationfaculty were the main audience. And coincidentally, it was usually the same faculty members. Thegeneral feeling shared by most of the program's faculty is that there is too much to cover in too little time. They feel that too much time is spent in the class just teaching the student the background he needs for the course. One general studies 321 instructor said, "There is too much ignorance to overcome beforewe can start doing our job". He also said that students coming into 321 have no background ororganized approach to the subject, and he suggested offering a humanities class for background before a student takes 321. A humanities instructor said that the students he gets in his classes are inarticulatein the humanities. As an approach to this problem, he assigns four essay papers for the course. "Thefourth is a little better than the first." Another problem with the present program that was brought out iswith the faculty who teach the courses. One person who has been connected with the program for a longtime said, "The problem is not a failure of curriculum, but the failure of teaching. There are too few goodteachers." One member of the committee said the problem with the faculty is that 80 per cent aren'tcapable or don't want to teach lower division courses. He felt the program should be bent to fit theteachers instead of the students. What apparently will prove to be one of the committee's main obstacles in its suggestions a revision of the program is that every faculty member will feel a course from hisdepartment is imperative to a student's liberal arts education. Whatever revision the committee makeswill be done with the lack of funds foremost in their minds. The underfuhding of the program has beenone of its major problems. W.L. Barrett, chairman of the committee, said that the only way to have agood program is to have more money and "we aren't going to get it". Students who have suggestions onthe general education program's revision can still take them to Barrett, Bond Hall 192. Giving the hacksthe ax Editor, Western Front: One would assume that since the student indirectly pays for the WesternFront through his tuition fees, (four pages are paid for by the students), the paper would be there for thestudents' benefit. How sad to find out that even the people paper is not immune from "power tripping"and petty people. In the V.U. are located a great many student services; ranging from information aboutgay people to drugs to sex to legal help to veterans' administration. These offices are all non-profit. Toadvertise what services are offered is impossible. The Front will not publish any article from theinformation center if it is written in advertising form. Instead, some aspiring hack gets his shot at a re-write and waters down the information with his own verbal garbage. When the Front was presented withthis problem, they used the two cop-outs that seem to be available to such a bureaucracy. One: "Well,it's our policy to do it that way." Two: "If you want an ad, you have to pay for it!" The students pay forthe paper and have the right to expect the paper to serve them, not a few individuals who have an egotrip and find the paper is the perfect outlet for it. If the student can't find out about the services available,how can he use them? One way is through the student newspaper, but as long as policies that are nowin force are in force, the student is being ripped off. His money is mis-spent and he isn't being informedabout what is available to help him. Paul Shadinger junior (Editor's note: Although the students pay forfour pages of the Western Front, the other pages—in today's issue it is eight extra pages—are paidthrough advertising revenue. There are certain fixed costs in producing a newspaper which makes it afinancial necessity that the Western Front not run free advertising. And with over 20 student servicesplus over 50 student clubs and organizations on campus, it is difficult to see how the Front could run free advertising on each one without going broke. However, that is not to say the Front will not run newsstories from the various groups around campus. A quick glance through the paper should reveal that it isnot 'impossible' to get into print. But if you mean by 'power tripping' that the Front reserves the editorialright to rewrite news releases and decide on the placement of stories, then we must plead guilty. But itshould be pointed out that even the Front's 'aspiring hacks' are subject to having their copy rewritten if itcontains too much 'verbal garbage.') Kodak advertising attacked Editor, Western Front: Kodak has been running large ads lately in the Western Front. They talk about cutting water and air pollution whichsounds good. But there is another side to the coin. "Kodak is involved in 47 countries all over the world.Actively involved," as the ad states. This includes Southeast Asia where the war seems never to end.Kodak is directly involved in producing defense products. They manufacture fuses for high explosiveammunition to be used against air targets, produce films for surveillance and mapping and operate andmaintain an Army ammunition plant in Kingsport, Tennessee. T h e i r e n v i r o n m e n t al endeavorssound valid. Kodak wants to "further society's interests," they say. Yet they remain involved in delensecontracts. I urge people to boycott Kodak sunnlies until they cease their dealings with the military.Most of the war has become automated through equipment such as Kodak's. A button can kill a person, a group of people. Responsibility and morality can easily be neglected. "I only pushed a button."Another person only relayed a radio message and the president only ordered a defensive. And we asconsumers continued to buy Kodak's supplies therefore supporting their policies. Those of us opposedto the war in Southeast Asia can refuse to buy from Kodak and similar companies that produce defenseitems such as stereos, watches, pens, sporting goods and sewing machines. The Vietnam Veteran'sAgainst the War in the Viking Union (214B) has a list of these companies that ought to be boycottedalong with president's addresses if you want to write and let them know how you feel. Kodak, forinstance; Mr. Louis K. Eilers, president, 343 State St., Rochester, New York, 14650. John Robinson,Fairhaven College 948 Gerry Wolfe, Vietnam Veteran Against the War On the elections McGovernEditor, Western Front: To all those who voted for McGovern: Don't give up, Don't become apathetic! For it is now in your hands that the future greatness of America lies. McGovern had a dream as Martin Luther King Jr. did. He felt America was at her age of human glory and wisdom. He thought that Americansbelieved in equality for all, in every respect; that they valued peace above war; that racism was at aconfrontation and on its way out; that the youth of America were different from their parents-ready "forchange and humanitarian ideals; that Americans cared more for their environment than economicsecurity. McGovern believed that if a person were to speak directly and honestly to the Americanpeople-carrying a rational message of peace and the ever growing need for change—that they wouldlisten, understand, and strive for these goals. McGovern fervently believed in America having these basic values. The values that have made America proud and worthy of the efforts of change. We are a smallminority now but in another four long years we will again have the chance to regain our dignity. In themeantime, keep fighting, teach your children and work for the day when we can have peace of mind inthe knowledge that things are going in the right direction. Laurie Minakan Student, wife, mother Statue finished? Editor, Western Front: The activity surrounding the granite block in front of Wilson Libraryseems to have ceased. From the settling cloud of dust, the so-called sculpture has emerged. Could you tell us if it is finished? It would be unfair to make value judgments about the piece if the sculptors areyet to return to complete their work. David D. Johnson, junior Kristine Bak, freshman (Editor's note: Thesculpture is finished. This is the word from t h e campus architect.) Editor, Western Front: The LiberalDemocrats have blown it. Their candidate, for all his moral decency, was nominated by a convention that seemed—in the eyes of the average voter —closely to resemble a Saturday night at "Pluto's." TheDemocratic Party can go two ways: 1) It can retain its present leadership, continue to bear the stain ofchaos, and be doomed to perpetual defeat. 2) It can throw itself back into the arms of the old guard(read: George Meany), shift perceptibly to the right, and (perhaps) elect a political hack in 1976. Thelatter route is the more likely of the two. Neither alternative, of course, is pleasant to consider. Now,what of that other party? The Nixon landslide, while phenomenal, represented, I believe, a rejection ofMcGovernism and not an endorsement of the Republican right wing. It may, in fact, have been a "lasthurrah" for the G.O.P. old guard. Please note that the only Republicans who came out of the electionsmelling like a rose were those who consciously avoided grasping at the President's elusive coattails:men like Percy Brooke, Hatfield, and Evans. These are the men who can keep Agnew out of the WhiteHouse; it is they who can cast a cloak of respectability on the spirit of reform and prevent bot h majorparties from becoming hotbeds of reaction. Liberals, be advised that you cannot afford to abandon theRepublican Party, for its future, as much as that of the D e m o c r a t i c Party, will determine the futureof our country. Thus endeth the first lesson.

The studio has been in existence for three years and specializes inpottery instruction with courses offered both through the museum and through Whatcom CommunityCollege for college credit. It is located in a white building that once was a warehouse overlooking the bayin south Bellingham. Inside the building is crowded with shelves of pottery, long work tables, a hugewood stove for warmth, two electric kilns for firing the pots and a group of intense pottery studentshunched over their current work. {Catherine Rowe, the director of the studio, is very enthusiastic abouther work. "Pottery is a creative thing," she said. "It can help free the creative impulses that have beensuppressed in so many people from a very early age." There are currently 28 students taking the coursefor credit through the community college, and a total of about 50 students studying pottery at the studio.The college credit is transferable to Western, Rowe pointed out, and the classes are run very informally."It's not like going to an institution," she said. "People come here because they want to learn pottery, not because they want an easy grade or college credit. We have had no motivational problems to speak of,since students can be motivated by others in the class who want to learn." She went on to say thatalthough the studio is very informal, a few students seem to need some sort of structure. For thosepersons she provides a reading list of books and articles that is intended to motivate them by gettingthem involved with pottery. "It's exciting to watch students develop in their attitude toward pottery," Rowe said. "Often they come . here with the idea of utility, making Christmas presents and things like that, but change in mid-stream. "Pottery is an honest expression of creative ability, and a person doesn't have tobe a 'fine artist' to be creative." Students at the studio range in age fro 13 to 65 years and include people from all levels of society—students, housewives, nurses, professional people and retired persons. Overat one of the potter's wheels, student Margot Eddy, wife of Peter Eddy of Western's French department,was bent intently over a bowl spinning around in the center of the horizontal wheel. As it spins she gently shapes it with her hands, forming ridges and depressions in the soft gray clay. "I think pottery is great,"she said. "I intend to keep going with it. We're free to do what we want, and everyone has their ownconcept of what pottery should be." Another pottery sale is scheduled for the Christmas season,beginning Dec. 6 at the art museum. Many varied examples of student work will be on display for sale tothe public. The pottery courses are available for three college credits per quarter through WhatcomCommunity College, or for no credit through the Whatcom County Museum of History and Art. The costis $40 a quarter. Margot Eddy at work | Top/./weoter/. Cord/* Pont/« Flare/.

The reason for its revival is that for the first time the W Club, Western's letterman organization,is trying to involve college athletes in community affairs, Cecil Sims, president of the club, said. "We'regoing to have underprivileged kids come up and use the gym facilities on Saturday afternoons under theguidance of lettermen in various fields," Sims said. At an organizational meeting this week there were 21 people, compared to three or" four at previous meetings. Sims c o n t r i b u t e d the increasedattendance to the club's involvement in community affairs. "We're also trying to get people moreinterested in athletics," he said. For the first time women will be allowed to join the club, despite thefact that women do n o t earn l e t t e r s for intercollegiate sports. "We're trying to change that too,"Sims said. As an added incentive for lettermen to come to the meetings, a door prize will be raffled offat each meeting. A 20 lb. turkey was won by Randy Deming at the last meeting. The club also plans acoed rooting section at basketball games and basketball lettermen will play an exhibition game with the Harlem Clowns in January.

"Handbooks and manuals which are used againstyou should be made available to you," Long contends. Even when the IRS did consent to the Longs'requests for materials, actually getting them wasn't always easy. Long cites the example of a request forthe table of contents for one book. "The table of contents alone was 1,017 pages, but we finally got it. Afew days afterward, though, we got a bill for $406.75 for having it copied." The Longs ran into this wall ofsecrecy everywhere. By "going down all the back roads" they compiled a list of the names and codenumbers of about 200 books which they wanted from the IRS. "Unless you ask by name and number,you're told that there is no such book." This lack of information does not stop just with the public. TheLongs found that even congress knows little about the workings of the IRS. Long said that the GeneralAccounting Office, the agency which is required to audit all federal agencies except the CIA, does notaudit the IRS. Even congressmen can't penetrate the secrecy of the agency. "Of the more than 80congressmen we've visited" said Long, "most knew little or nothing about the workings of the IRS."Senator Magnuson has written three letters to the IRS for us and has received form-letter replies eachtime." ' Long feels that congressmen are also put under pressure not to question the actions of the IRS. If they question the agency too often, he said, the IRS can refuse to cooperate when the occasionalimportant constituent has a problem. Also, the IRS has the ability to canvass all campaign contributorsdown to the $ 10 level. What can the average citizen do if he is faced with an income tax audit? "Befriendly, cordial and stall," says Long. "Forget some of your records and ask for another meeting. Theexaminer can't justify spending too many hours on too small a case. "The IRS is one agency, however,that can fight back. They can put you through the most miserable financial torture. If you take them on,you're taking a considerable risk." The Longs are slowly winning their case. The decision on theirFreedom of Information suit is the first of its kind. They recently received the final bill from the IRS sayingthat they owed not $2,000 or even $38,000 but less than $100. Despite their bad experiences with therepresentatives of the IRS, the Longs are not bitter. "Ninety-five per cent of the IRS employees arewonderful people. But they've been trained to believe that most Americans cheat on their taxes. And,since very few people successfully challenge IRS charges, the belief that we all cheat is reinforced."These employees are just following instructions. What we want to do is get those instructions changed." ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 17 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, November 17, 1972 Western Front Two catches Fairhaven: for rent Fairhaven College is openingits dorms to persons needing temporary lodging at a nominal fee. However, there are a couple ofcatches, Housing Director Pete Coy said. Catch number one: Only certain people may use Fairhaven'sfacilities. Catch number two: Those qualified persons must rent a room for a minimum of four nights.Persons covered by "catch number one" are Western students, persons employed by the college orpeople working on the college campus, such as construction workers. "We can't allow everybody to use the Fairhaven facilities," said Coy, "because that would put the college in unethical competition" withthe local motel owners." People that do qualify for Fairhaven lodging must rent the space for a minimum of four nights, as a matter of policy. Few exceptions are made concerning this rule. Coy said, "We areallowing some high school and junior college students to take a room for only one night, so they'll havea place to sleep after checking out Western as a Two tutor for ethnic studies The College of EthnicStudies has made available to students a mini-tutorial program.

The off-campus housing listings andrelated services, formerly found in the Viking Union moved for two reasons: 1) to save money and 2) toprovide better service for the students at Western. Pete Coy, housing director, said, "Both servicescame under my budget. I thought we could provide better service to the students by having all housingoptions listed under one roof. This way a student can shop and compare off-campus and on-campushousing without having to walk from one building to the other." Coy shaved some expense from hisbudget. "We eliminated one civil service position—clerk-, typist by bringing the girl that worked in theother office into this one. She was being wasted over there anyway." No one was fired as Coy had theother clerk-typist transferred to another department. "No pressure will be applied to push on-campushousing," Coy said. If I see the possible conflict becoming a problem, I'll relocate the -off-campusoperation again. But I really think we can provide a better service this way." The AS housing commission still occupies the old housing office, 214A Viking Union. Majority ruling affects chance of acquittalChances of acquittal before the All-Student Intermediate Judiciary Board have been significantlyincreased by a recent ruling of that body. "A simple majority" was interpreted as five of the eightpossible votes. This means that five "guilty" votes will be needed regardless of the number of j-boardmembers actually present. The all student-intermediate board has appellate powers over dormitory j-boards, and immediate jurisdiction over all violations involving more than one dorm, college activities oroff-campus students.

'Love's' labors notso lost by TONY MYERS Shakespeare's, "Love's Labor's Lost" will open tonight and run throughSaturday in the Music auditorium. The play is under the direction of Thomas Napiecinski. In short, thebasic plot to the play is this: the King of Navarre and his three attending Lords take a vow forsakingearthly pleasures for three years. The vow is broken by the arrival of the Princess of France and herthree Ladies. The men fall in love abandoning their vows. The action revolves around disguises, andcases of mistaken identity. The over—all production is polished, and well worth seeing. Napiecinski has accompolished what he set out to do; make the play understandable to the one who's not really awareof Shakespeare. Costumes were absolutely beautiful. Materials used were richly colored velvets, silks,lace, and feathers. Color coordination was quite obvious. Roseline (Bev Jones) wore orange, and so didBerowne (Ric Madigan). The various costumes fit the individual characters. Costume design was doneby Don Adams. Actresses and actors in the play were superb. The King of Navarre (Larry Hansen) hadexcellent facial expression. While on the other hand, "the red-nosed villan" brought many laughs, withhis rambuctious attitude on life. The Princess and Ladies in waiting were very beautiful. Berowne (RicMadigan) appeared to be "the brains" behind most of the plays action.

He hasn'tfigured exactly what the minimum would consist of, but explained if he sells passes, the . only people ta k i n g advantage would probably be the ones already riding buses. "It would mean a decrease inrevenue for an already non-supporting system," he said. Griemsmann said through his subsidy plan ofadding about $1.75 or possibly less to each student's tuition, it would allow him the capability ofsupplying the college with a mini-bus service from the campus to downtown Bellingham. After studentsreach the downtown area, they could branch off to another bus route at no charge by showing theirstudent body card to the driver. The transit manager said he's had good cooperation with the studentboard of directors, and could understand their concern about a recent attorney general's ruling that sucha student subsidy plan could be unconstitutional. "There's got to be a way we can get together, and if itcan be solved, everyone will benefit by it," he said. These students are part of a speech classparticipating in a non-verbal exercise. Robert Neale photcf Students like it A different kind of class byJOHN HARRIS If you want to communicate better with people, take speech 407. It's a class designed to help students go beyond the ordinary, every-day level of communication with people. One recent classbegan by moving out most of the chairs and division about 40 students into groups of six. The exercisewas to share with the rest of the group personal objects the students had brought that had a significantmeaning for them. One student produced a high school drinking club card and a ten-year-old baby sitter's certification card. Group members discussed how the student had gotten them, what they had meant to him and why he'd kept them for so long. Later another member told about the birth of his baby. It hadbeen a. joyful and meaningful experience in which both he and his wife had participated, and he sharedhis feelings with the group. Other members told of experiences in the same vein. The students arerelaxed and friendly, though some of them admit being nervous at the beginning. "At first I didn't likeparticipating with the whole class," one student said. "But I don't mind it now. I feel like I know thesepeople." The interpersonal communications course is the brainchild of Arthur L. Solomon, chairman of the speech department. He started it because of his belief "that education should change the learner'sbehavior and should make some difference in people's lives and how they live and interact with others."Solomon assumes that "the participants wish to change in the direction of better and more effectivecommunication, both personally and professionally." To accomplish this, Solomon supplies theenvironment and stimulation and "encourages some risk-taking behavior as opportunities arise for theclass members to get acquainted both with themselves and with others." The class offers games andexercises, both verbal and non-verbal, in group processes, self-disclosure and structured interactions.There are large blocks of non-structured time where the whole class attempts to relate on personal andclose levels. Grades are based on attendance, reports from a bibliography and a log of weekly reactionsthat the student has toward the class, including applications of new attitudes and approaches tocommunication outside the class. Guidelines from the class syllabus describe the functions of thegroups: Within the group, members tell it like it is and become willing to reveal their thoughts and feelings as trust and confidence in other members develop. There are no secrets inside the group. Emotionallyimportant experiences of one member are shared by the other members. Each person assumes someresponsibility for contributing to the group. The class looks interesting enough from the hallway that some students have walked in, stayed until the end and keep coming back. Some like the class because it'sdifferent; others think the experiences they've had and the skills they've learned help them relate topeople more significantly. "There's been a change in myself. I have a lot more confidence," one girl said."I feel I owe the people in class a great deal for getting rid of the self-critic that was in me for so long".Another girl said the class had benefited her by "teaching me to look at myself honestly. Also it's givenme guidelines to judge myself by." One student said that he is more aware of other person's feelings,sensitivities and needs as well as my own." Other students like the class for its honesty and openessand because it provides a chance to share personal experiences. The course challenges students to take a new look at themselves and to become more aware of others.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT)demands that: —salary schedules reflect an earnest attempt to meet "legitimate income needs" offaculty members. —the salary base for faculty must be no less than $10,000 for the 1973-4 academicyear (it is now $8,172). —the top of the professor range must be $22,000 (it is now $16,740). —payscales for full and associate professor should have ten automatic salary steps; assistant professor, eight; and instructor, five. Each successive step should be no less than $400. —the department chairmanshould be on a twelve month contract and receive an additional $1,000. —no faculty members shouldreceive cost of living allowances, except the chairmen. —part time faculty must receive compensation"proportionate to their teaching load." Alfred L. Roe, local AFT treasurer and Western history professor,said the AFT wants only to "regain the lost faculty voice" in determining the changes, rather thanproposing any new sweeping plan. He said the college has taken on a "public school direction"emphasising the "lesson-plan crap" that high schools are noted for. Growth of the administrativebureaucracy and policies set by the state legislature were some of the reasons why the faculty policy-making prerogative on curriculum changes was lost, he -said. The two-year-old AFT joins the AmericanAssociation of University Professors (AAUP) in defending faculty rights. Both organizations endorsecollective bargaining. The AFT stresses bargaining with the board of trustees, while the AAUP proposedpresenting a united voice at the legislative level. The disparity between the salaries of faculty andadministrators is a problem the AFT and AAUP both hope to alleviate, Roe said. One reason for therelatively low salaries of faculty members is the depressed industry, he said. Most Ph.D.'s are strugglingto find a position anywhere they can. Therefore, administrators can be selective in hiring, he said.Edward H. Kaplan, local AAUP member and history professor, said even the lowest paid dean makesmore than most full professors. While all professors were held to a three per cent cost-of-living increaselast year, administrators have been allowed to receive a higher salary, Kaplan said. •"No effectiveinstrument of faculty power exists," Kaplan said. "What we want is an institutional structure which wouldsay 'yes' or 'no' and then be sent to the administration." Pacific Northwest Studies at Western hasannounced the publication of a study of the Port of Bellingham from 1920 to 1970. The study covers theport a u t h o r i t y concept, the development of facilities and the nature of the port's cargo for '' over ahalf century. The study written by James Hitchman, associate professor of history at Western, contains126 pages and sells for $1.95. It is the first in an "Occasional Papers" series devoted to studies of thePacific Northwest. Students needed for clean up Jobs for 55 students to assist in campus clean-up willbe available for three days over the Christmas holidays, December 18, 19 and 20. Sign-up for the jobswill be held on a first-come first-served basis, November 20 and 21, in the Financial Aids office Old Main 103. Indications are that the demand for the jobs far exceeds the number available and students areurged to sign-up early. Community women expect to control TV channel by RODGER PAINTER Acommunity access television channel is being organized by a group of Bellingham citizens. The group,which recently formed a non-profit corporation, is currently raising money to purchase recordingequipment for the access channel which will be broadcast over the local cable station. The cablecompany will be donating air time and use of its facilities in accordance with F e d e r a l Communication Commission standards which state:. "We will require that there be o n e free, d e d i c a t e d, non-commercial public access channel available at all times on a non-discriminatory basis." Any Bellingham-area citizen desiring to televise something of local interest, regardless of how limited the interest, will beable to use the equipment on a first come first service basis. Instructions on the equipment's use will be given. The corporation's board of directors is controlled by women, according to Scott Walker, one ofthe organizers. "Hopefully women will continue to do so (control the board), as women are the primarydaytime television viewers," Walker said. Walker said that the group's German films teach Deutsch Anew approach to beginning German, featuring films prepared . by a German broadcasting company, willbe offered this winter quarter. Walter Robinson of the foreign languages department said that even those who have never heard a single word of German can easily understand the scenes and dialogues in thefilms. The five credit class, which will meet daily, will offer two sections limited to 30 students each. i de a has received an overwhelming positive response from the community and the public wants to have acommunity access channel, but he still foresees problems in raising the needed "couple thousanddollars," The group is trying to raise all the needed funds locally, even though, according to Walker,money is available from outside sources. Several national foundations would be willing to invest money,Walker said, but if allowed to "outsiders will control the community news from New York." "We want aBellingham-owned, Bellingham-controlled organization," Walker said. Walker doesn't foresee anyproblems for the organization once the equipment is purchased, "Already we've had several phone callsand everyone I have talked to has had ideas."

The Vikings are coming off two straight lossesand will have a little revenge motive going for them when they face the Clansmen. Last year the Canadian team shutout the Vikings 21-0, ending hopes of a post seasonplayoff berth for the then defending Evco champions. Simon Fraser, having posted a 2-5 record this year, has won the last three meetings against Western. The Clansmen have a solid passing attack headedby quarterback Dennis Kelly who has thrown for over 900 yards this season. Kelly will be Turkey trotheld Monday Thanksgiving turkeys will be given away to the winners of the intramural "Turkey Trot" cross country race Monday at 3:30 p.m. on the varsity field. Men and women four member teams will be ableto compete in a time differential race where each member predicts his estimated time to finish thecourse and the team that finishes closest to their predicted time wins the turkey. In this race the abilityto pace is more important than speed. The men will also compete in a three mile place race which willinclude running Sehome hill. Four or five man teams may be entered with only the first four finisherscounting for points and the 5 th man acting as a displacement factor. The women's place race will behandled as a relay race. Each of the four members of the team will run one lap of the one half milecourse. Entry forms may be picked up at the intramural board located in the corridor between the weight room and Gym B in Carver gymnasium. Yacht club races for Pafigliano Cup Sailors from the VikingYacht Club will take part in the second "Zoom Schwartz Pafigliano" Invitational Cup Race. The regatta,which will be held at the University of British Columbia (UBC) tomorrow, is named after a Canadiandrinking game. It will be an informal race, not counting towards national ranking. The trophy, which was first awarded to UBC two years ago, is a broken rudder. The race will be a chance for novices, usuallyunable to compete in regattas, to gain racing experience. Western's sailors placed fifth at UBC'sInvitational on Nov. 1 1, finishing behind two nationall ranked schools, third ranked UBC, who finishedfirst, and eleventh ranked University of Victoria, finishing second.

Ball carrying duties will be primarily handled by fullbackTerry Bailey. He has rushed for 385 yards this season. For Western, only pride will be at stake againstthe Clansmen as the Vikings make one last try to get the right offensive combination together in theseason finale. Battling for starting quarterback position are senior Marshall Torre and freshman JayOverway. Overway directed Western to two first half touchdowns last week against Eastern, one an 80-yard pass to split end Steve Jasmer. Western will try to beef up their rushing attack spearheaded byfullback Tom Wigg and halfback Steve Skogmo. The rushing game has been held in check the last three weeks and against Eastern, Wigg was held to a season low of 18 total yards. Coming off injuries aretwo-way tackle Jack Dolan, and linebackers Chris Johnson and Roger Jones. Dolan and Johnson weresidelined with ankle sprains while Jones is coming off a shoulder injury. Missing tomorrows game will be flankerback Cecil Simms, who is a victim of an ankle sprain. If Western wins, the Vikings will have aseason record of 3-6. Season finale: Simon Fraser, UW It's the final fatal week for the frantic Frontforecasters, and after last week's results it may not be a moment too soon. On the line this week for thefearless trio is the season's dubious championship. A close race between Kent Sherwood and HowardScott will depend on the outcome'of two games tomorrow. The season's final traditional contests highlightthis week's ballot. It's in these type of games that even if team X is 10-0 and X State is 0-10, the game isstill a toss-up. Going into tomorrow's games, Sherwood holds a slight lead with 46 of 62 games correct.Scott is right behind with 45 and sports editor O. K. Johnson is next with 44. However, because Johnsonmirrored Sherwood's selections, O. K. is out of the running for the title. The championship rests oh theOregon Tech-St. Mary's and Oregon-Oregon State games. Sherwood took OTI and Oregon, with Scotttaking the other teams. Last week featured Sherwood retaking the lead with his second straight correct"going-out-on-a-limb" choice, as the ex-sports editor accurately chose Washington to defeat U. C. L.

No, the regularMonday night football game has not been rescheduled. One of America's most popular and excitingsporting events will be taking place-a heavyweight boxing match. The match will feature two worldrenowned puglists in Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay if you prefer) and Bob Foster. Ali, as all dedicatedboxing fans know, is the former heavyweight champion of the world who was beset by draft problems andthen finally lost to the current champion, Joe Frazier. Foster is the current world lightheavyweightchampion, saddled in one of the least popular divisions in boxing. Ali has nothing to prove by fightingFoster. This is just another stepping stone to a rematch with Frazier. Ali lost a 15 round decision to"Smokin' Joe" not quite two years ago. Since that meeting, Frazier has had just four rounds of fightingtime, while Ali has put in roughly 81 rounds. Ali has gotten rid of his ring rust from his three and one halfyear layoff and looked like the champion of old in his fight against Jerry Quarry. The former champion'slightening-quick jab-perhaps not quite as fast as it was five years ago-still has plenty of speed to keep his opponents at bay and pile up points. Ali relys on his overall speed, cleverness and ring craftsmanship towin a fight. While the former champion has never been regarded as a heavy puncher, he has shown theability to stagger his opponent. He showed this against Quarry when he buckled the Irishman's kneesthree or four times in the seventh round before the fight was stopped. Ali's main weapon is his jab, whichcan turn an opponent's face into a piece of hamburger. Foster, by comparison, has a well-educated jab,But can take an opponent out with either hand. His left hook is regarded as the best in boxing today,while he has shown that his right cross is also a potent weapon. Fosters main problem is that he is toogood for his class. Only one opponent that he has fought for the light heavyweight title has gone theentire distance with him. All others have fallen in four rounds or less. The long, lanky Foster has had adistinct problem in fighting the heavyweights though. He has not won in five tries. Foster's last shot at aheavyweight was against Frazier, who knocked him out in two rounds. Why does Foster want to tryanother heavyweight? Foster's no fool. He knows that a fight with Ali will draw more money than he couldhope to get in any of his own title bouts. He also seems to have to prove that he can make the gradeagainst the "big boys". Foster may think that by taking on Ali he will have a better chance. The stylessuit each other, but Ali has been active in the ring every month. Foster has not. Foster has shown hisability to deliver a punch. In his title fight against Mike Quarry, Jerry Quarry's brother, Foster unloaded aleft hook to the jaw that sent the challenger to the canvas flat on his back for over one full minute. It wasthe same punch that Foster said he used when he won the title from Dick Tiger. Boxing experts aroundthe country predict an easy victory for Ali. They have said Ali's quickness will be the dominate factor overFoster. Foster is labeled as a darkhorse, at best, to pull off an upset win over the former heavyweightchampion. One of Foster's biggest disadvantages will be his weight. Foster usually beefs up to around179 pounds for a fight against a heavyweight and usually scales around 173 to 174 when defending hislightheavy title. If Ali weighs in at his expected weight of 217, Foster will be giving away almost 30pounds. 30 pounds is a lot of weight to give away to anybody, let alone a fighter of the caliber of Ali.Judging from the way that both fighters have performed recently, and their records against commonopponents, Ali gets the edge. Both fighters have fought Frazier and both lost. The only difference is thatFoster was knocked out in two rounds and was in peak condition. Ali also lost to Frazier but he went the15 round limit and was definetly not in peak condition. Foster will be fighting a different Ali than the onethat fought Frazier. Whatever the outcome of the fight, look for the "Louisville Lip" to try to physcheFoster out with his verbal antics, as has been customary for Ali in his previous fights. For the fight itself, if Ali is as good as he looked against Quarry, watch the former champion to stick, move and toy withFoster. If has been these type of fight plan that has aided Ali in getting his opponents angered enough tocommit mistakes that Ali has capitalized on. If Foster commits these mistakes, Ali should have an easywin. If Foster doesn't give in to Ali's fight plan, the former champion will be pressed to display all hisnatural abilities. This corners pick: Ali to win by a technical knockout. * * * * * * * * * * * * * ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 17 - Page 11 ---------- Friday, November 17, 1972 Western Front '11 Bradley quits basketball team Western's basketball teamhas suffered a.big loss as the team's most experienced player, Tom Bradley, has decided not tocompete this year. The 31-year old, 6-1 senior told head coach Chuck Randall that basketball was"becoming work rather ' than being enjoyable." Bradley was one of the primary factors in last year's d is t r i c t and Evergreen Conference championship team. He set a school record for assists in oneseason with 165, and was third on the team in rebounds. Randall had intended to use Bradley as a postplayer this year, saying that the ex-Walla Walla Community College star was "the best man to direct our team." "It's a real tough loss for us," Randall said, "but we may not be dead yet. If we can get theattitude up high and play that defense the way we can, we'll do all right. "I respect Tom for his decision.He's been thinking about it for a long time, even last year and he's right. Anytime basketball becomeswork rather than fun, it's time to hang it up." Randall said Bradley's loss will probably mean the Viks will not press or fast break as much as he had planned. The loss of Bradley will probably put morepressure on the Viks' other co-captain, Mike Franza. "Before, teams had to look out after two super-stars, one out front and one underneath, but now they need to watch just Vik matmen open seasonWestern's wrestling team opens the season tomorrow morning at the University of British ColumbiaTournament in Vancouver. Rick Iverson, in his first year as coach of the Vikings, will take 10 wrestlersto the tournament. The only returning letterman participating in the tournament is Tom Trip pie who willwrestle at the 150 pound classification. Iverson will field a squad that includes four freshmen, fourtransfer students and two members of last years squad. Other than Tripple, Darrell Gleason will be theonly other wrestler with varsity action for Western last year. Transfers are John- Adamn, 142, fromHighline Community College, Gary Badt, 134, from Columbia Basin, and Bernie Rush, 177, and hisbrother Karll from Green River. Freshmen are John Jobb, 118, John Mosich, 167, Mark Reiman, 177,and Mark Sencenbaugh, 150. Earlier this year, Iverson said the team is very strong through the lowerclassifications, being two to three men deep at most of the weights. It is in the higher weights where theranks begin to thin out. Some of Iverson's bigger men are unable to compete in the tournament thisweekend because they are members of the football team which has a game against Simon Frasertomorrow night. The grapplers will not make a home appearance until January 19, when they hostCentral. Up to 'that time, the Viking matmen will have wrestled the University of Puget Sound, SimonFraser, Eastern Washington, Oregon College, Southern Oregon, Oregon Tech, Eastern again, andWashington State. one," Randall said. "So we'll try to surprise them with our other fine players." "We'rereally hurting now," Franza said, "but I think Tom made the right decision for himself. It's going to meana lot more pressure for me and the rest of the guys because Tom was the guy that put it all together."Randall said that Bradley's absence had a negative initial effect on the Vikings. "They were pretty downin practice after we talked to them about it. But I think after the first shock wears off they'll come around and do what they have to do to compensate. We'll still be a pretty good team." Western's Evco andDistrict I cross country champions left for Liberty, Mo., yesterday to participate in the NAIA national meet.

The committee also made further recommendations on each specific area of thegeneral education program. COMMUNICATIONS: The committee noted that many faculty thought one ofWestern's most critical problems is "the inability of too many students to express themselves acceptably in writing". In questionnaires sent by the committee to the faculty, the second highest amount ofagreement was with the goal of helping the .student develop the ability to express himself clearly,logically and effectively, both orally and in writing." In the comments the committee received from them,students also felt this was a problem. One student's description of English 101 was "all we did was writedumb stories that often had no meaning. We should be taught how to write essays and formal researchpapers because this is what we need later on in school". The committee thought one possible approachto this would be to require two quarters of freshman English rather than one. HUMANITIES: Thecommittee said they felt the humanities sequence was the heart of the general education program.Presently there is at least a five-credit difference between option I, humanities, and option II, six coursesfrom specific areas. They thought that instead of lowering option II's credits, the humanities creditsshould be increased to 30 from its present 23. Also, because of the severe criticisms the committeereceived of general studies 321, they recommended that this course be expanded into a 15-creditsequence in Asian civilization and be included under humanities as an option to the first 15 credits of the humanities program. SOCIAL SCIENCES: The committee recommended that the courses in option I(behavioral science, economic and political institutions and non-western cultures) be discontinued and let students choose three courses for 15 credits from political science 101, psychology 201,sociology/anthropology 200 or 201, economics 201 arid geography 201. NATURAL SCIENCE ANDMATHEMATICS: The committee said the present requirements in math and science were adequate, butthat students should not be allowed waivers of these courses because of classes taken in high school.ELECTIVES: The committee recommended that students be required to take 24 credits of electivesdistributed randomly among the departments involved in the general education program. Also, theseelectives could be taken in the student's major department. The curricular problems committee thoughtthis raise in the general education program's credits was justified because a degree program should notbe thought of in terms of credit hours or years, but in terms of a liberal arts component and a major. "And if the major requires more than 90 credits to complete, that must simply be chalked up as the price thestudent must pay for having chosen that particular specialization," the committee report said. Thecommittee said they thought their recommendation that the general education program and the majorarea be equal in weight was the most important single recommendation in their report. One of the threead hoc committees formed by the Academic Council to review specific parts of the report was asked tolook at the general education program and come up with specific proposals for a new program. Thecommittee of four sent surveys and questionnaires to faculty, administration and staff and a randomselection of 1,000 alumni for the last five years and talked to general education faculty. They also lookedat general education programs in catalogues of other colleges around the country. They also held fouropen hearings, in which students and faculty were invited to give their comments on the generaleducation program. Although general education faculty were the main participants, the basic complaintwith the program was that there was too much to teach in too little time. "There is too much ignorance to overcome before we can start doing our job," said one general studies 321 faculty member. A humanities instructor said that "students are inarticulate in the humanities courses." The biggest restraint in arevision of the program is the lack of funds, said W. L. Barrett, chairman of the ad hoc committee andmember of the physics faculty. "The only way to have a good program is to have more money, and wearen't going to get it," he said. "I don't think there is a satisfactory solution We've got to find the lesser of the evils," Barrett said. His committee has been asked to report their recommendations at the end of the quarter.

Floraproposed last Thursday to the Board of Trustees that Western be administratively divided into threecolleges and a school of education. In an informal report, Flora suggested that colleges of Arts andHumanities, Science and Technology, and Social and Behavioral Sciences be created along with aschool of education. The trustees gave unanimous informal approval to "this or a similar proposal." Florastated that he was delaying making a formal presentation to allow faculty discussion on the matter.Explaining his proposal in a FRONT interview, Flora stated that "we (administration) are a monolithicstructure which is becoming larger and larger and less and less effective." He added that administrativeduties at most colleges are subdivided more than they are at Western. Flora said that the present lack of division of administrative authority did not allow him and other chief administrators, notably AcademicDean R.D. Brown, sufficient opportunity to keep up contact with the departments. Each of the three newcolleges would have a dean who would report to the academic dean. According to Flora, each ofWestern's 23 academic departments will be able to choose for itself under which of the three newcolleges it wishes to be administrated. Flora said he proposed a separate school of education ratherthan a College of Education because every department is directly involved in the education program. More education courses are taught by the departments than by the education department itself, he added.The three new colleges are not intended to be cluster colleges like Fairhaven, Flora said. They arecolleges for administrative and not for physical purposes. Neither would the new colleges have the degree of autonomy possessed by Fairhaven. Flora stated that all courses offered would still have to beapproved by the Academic Council. The major purpose of the proposal is to divide administrative dutiesbefore the college becomes, too large for operation under the present system. Long-range plans arecurrently being made for an enrollment of 15,000 students. Present enrollment is 7,000. PresidentCharles reorganization. Flora explaining proposed administrative —photo by finley Sfudents appealvagrancy conviction in school case NEAL JOHNS contributor Eight Western students were convicted ofvagrancy Jan. 6, and were each sentenced to five days in the county jail by Whatcom District JudgeWard Williams. Notice of appeal was immediately given by defense counsel Mike Rosen of the SeattleAmerican Civil Liberties Union. Arrested Nov. 25 while distributing anti-draft leaflets at Sehome HighSchool were Waldemar A. Oyen, 22, 515 Gladstone St.; George B. Hartwell, 24, and Tony M.Morefield, 24, both of 331 N. Forest St.; Ian D. Trivett, 19, 520 21st St.; Joe E. Start, 26, 2431 LafayetteSt.; Michael J. Burr, 22, 708 N. State St.; Lauren C. Bathurst, 21, 2315 C St.; and Ronald J. Felton, 26, 2015 Young St. A plea of innocent was entered to the charge of violating a 1965 state vagrancy lawwhich makes it illegal for anyone other than students, their parents or guardians and school employeesto be on the school grounds "without a lawful purpose." The eight students had refused to leave the high school. grounds on the grounds that the law was unconstitutional. They were requested to leave byBrian H. Barker, Sehome High School principal. Barker informed them that permission to pass outliterature on the school grounds must be obtained from the Bellingham School Superintendent's office.After the third request for them to leave, Barker called the Bellingham police. The police arrived soonafter and informed them that they were violating a state law and would be arrested if they did not leave,but if they did leave, the whole matter would be forgotten. Rosen and Pitkin both agreed about where the defendants were and what they were doing when they were arrested, but the arguments of the casecentered around the constitutionality of the law. Rosen had filed a motion to dismiss the charges on the grounds that the state law was both vague and overly broad. He stated that the law does not define"without a lawful purpose" and that it violates the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution whichguarantees free speech, free press and free assembly. Pitkin answered that the law is clear and thatthe Constitutional rights of free speech, press and assembly are not absolute, but should be "balancedby - another man's right to make his own choice." Judge Williams denied the motion to dismiss on thegrounds that public education is the duty of that state and the 1965 vagrancy law was written to facilitate this provision of the state constitution. During the trial, Pitkin argued that the defendants knew theywere breaking a law and were therefore guilty. The content of the pamphlets, he added, was notimportant. Rosen said that the ruling must be on whether being on the school grounds to pass outpamphlets was being there "without a lawful purpose." He had earlier argued that the 1965 School Board rule was intended to apply only to passing out things to be taken home. Judge Williams ruled thatschools are not public places;, hence administrators have the right to decide how students are to beeducated. Academic Council to include students? Displaying different phases of attention at last week'sFaculty Forum are (1 to r) Dr. Fred Ellis, professor of education; Dr. Fred Knapman, professor ofchemistry; and Dr. Edwin Clapp, professor of English. —photo by finley HELEN BROWN staff reporterThe Faculty Forum went on record Thursday as favoring a recommendation that would permit studentrepresentation on the Acadmic Council. The motion, made by Dr. Hugh Fleetwood, assistant professorof philosophy, was passed 14 to 3, with 7 abstentions. Five of the abstentions were made by FacultyCouncil members who will have to consider the motion when it comes before the Faculty Council. TheFaculty Forum is composed of members of the faculty who wish to discuss current issues concerningthe academic community at Western. It has no direct power, but makes recommendations to theFaculty Council, the parent organization of the Academic Council. The Student Academic AdvisoryBoard, (SAAB) has recommended that students be admitted to the Academic Council with full votingrights. SAAB arguments contend that students should be allowed to be active, discussing andparticipating members of the Academic Council. A number of questions were brought out duringdiscussion: 1) Does SAAB represent the entire student body, and is it worthy of selecting the studentmembers to the council? 2) Are students mature, intelligent and experienced enough for such aposition? 3) Would the students attempt to dominate the faculty on the Academic Council? 4) Can thegoals of the A c a d e m i c Council be accomplished without student representation? 5) Would thismove lead to student involvement in all college councils? Dr. Fred Ellis, professor of education, and Dr.Marion Besserman, associate professor of chemistry, said they have worked with SAAB in the past and have found them to be responsible young men and women. It was mentioned that students bring greatconcerns and have made a real contribution to the academic community. Arguments in favor of studentrepresentation on the Academic Council were: 1) Students probably will not attempt to dominate thefaculty, 2) There would be growth both ways, and 3) Colleges are supposed to be working on ademocratic basis where all members are equally represented. It was finally decided that Faculty Council members talk with their constituencies before making any recommendations to the Academic Council. ---------- Western Front - 1969 January 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Hugh |g||i Masekela who does Tuesday, January 14, 1969 Soul explosion hits thisquarter AMS elects new officers The Associated Men Students (AMS) will elect new officers between 9a.m. and 6 p.m., Thursday in the VU coffee shop foyer.

Senator Frank Atwood (R—Bellingham) is chief sponsor of the bill. The local delegationsponsoring the House version of the bill are Representatives Fred Veroske (R), Caswell Farr (R) and Dick J. Kink (D). "The House bill will have the support of the entire local delegation as well as widespreadsupport by other House members," Dr. J. Alan Ross, dean of the graduate school, said. The Senate billis being sponsored by Atwood and Sen.. Gary Odegaard (D— Onalaska). Odegaard is a Westernalumnus. According to a press release, Dr. Charles Flora, president of Western, said, "Western has anoutstanding faculty which makes the college well qualified to take the proposed step. "Existing programs at Western are retained unmodified only so long as they satisfy a criterion of relevance to the state'sneeds," Flora continued. "Western's willingness and capacity to rise to challenges are characteristics ofan educational institution capable of "innovation and leadership." Ross said that he hoped the bill wouldpass. "We see this as meeting a need of the state.' Six appointed by SAAB Several members of theStudent Academic Advisory Board (SAAB) met last week and chose six new members. "Newly chosenmembers are: Paul Berry, Robert Moon, and Charing Hodson, seniors; Tim Johnson, Erik Nelsen, andBob Wooten, freshmen. Present members are: Lance Bowie, sophomore; Gene Oliver, sophomore; and Rosemary Parker, freshman. One member from the legislature will soon be appointed. They will meetagain tonight at 7:30 in the staff lounge of the library. "We'll be continuing work on bur attempts to getvoting student members on the Academic Council," Gene Oliver, SAAB member, said. SAAB is alsoworking on revision of Education 301 and the whole teacher education sequence. Last quarter SAABrevised the military credit policy. Students who formerly received 12 credits for being in the service, nowreceive only the three PJS, credits and credit for courses taken in the service that apply to collegeclasses. "The placement office wants us to pressure the college to assure better placement forgraduates," Larry Springer, last quarter's SAAB chairman, said. Both Springer and Oliver said theattempt to get voting members on the Academic Council was their most important project. TheAcademic Council has approved the proposal, but the Faculty Council must also give ,its consent. ..Petition for student Trustee to be available for signatures A petition supporting the placement of astudent representative on the Board of Trustees will be available for signatures between 10 a.m. and 3p.m. tomorrow and Friday, as well as Monday, Wednesday and Friday of next week.

Wefeel that now i f is time for students to'evaluate faculty members. Students should actively and formallyparticipate in decisions of faculty rank, promotion and tenure. We feel this is necessary in order toensure the highest level of teaching competency within the faculty. Too often the teaching qualificationsof faculty members up for tenure or promotion are overlooked by colleagues who are concerned primarilywith the individual's scholarship and ability to get along well with the other faculty members in hisdepartment. While we do not disagree with the contention of most faculty members that the degree of an individual's scholarship is essential to any decision on rank or tenure, we do feel that to stressscholarship at the expense of teaching ability is to do the student body and the institution as a whole agreat disservice. In most cases faculty members who evaluate a colleague's performances have nofirsthand knowledge of his teaching qualifications. While they may be intimately familiar with his scholarly prowess, they have not sat through his classes. It is a fact that many persons of high academic abilitysimply cannot effectively translate their ideas to others. If this is the case with a faculty member, at least half of his effectiveness to the institution is lost. We feel that channels must be opened for consideration of faculty members' teaching abilities and that students, being on the receiving end of the classroomsituation, are best able to judge those abilities. To meet these ends, we recommend the following: (1)There should be a uniform procedure within the departments for recommendations on tenure andpromotion. All departments should follow the same procedure. The department chairman should not beable, as he now is, to recommend promotion from the rank of instructor to that of assistant professorwithout the approval of the rest of the department. All decisions on recommendation for rank andpromotion should be the cooperative duty of the faculty and students of each department. All tenureddepartment members should be allowed, at their personal discretion, formal voting participation in thesedecisions. The person being evaluated should be able to decide whether or not untenured departmentalfaculty shall participate. If he decides they shall, all untenured members should be given the opportunityto participate. For every four faculty members allowed formal participation in these decisions, threedepartmental students should be allowed formal voting participation. These students should be chosen by students in the department. This would require organization of students within the departments,possibly along the lines of the recently-formed political science, biology and art clubs. (2) The FacultyCommittee on Tenure and Promotion, which now consists of four full professors, should add threestudents and become the College Committee on Tenure and Promotion. The three students should beappointed by the A.S. president and ratified by the A.S. legislature. This is essential because the tenure and promotion committee not only acts on recommendations from the departments (reporting to theacademic dean) but also serves as an appeal board on matters of tenure, promotion and dismissal. (3)Tenured faculty members should be re-evaluated every three to five years by departmental faculty andstudents. This would serve a dual purpose: (a) it would keep on their teaching toes faculty members who might otherwise tend to slough off because they "have it made"; and (b) it would help facilitate the bestpossible teaching assignments within the departments. For instance, if a re-evaluation shows that aprofessor has lost the zeal to make a go of a lecture class but still operates well within a seminarsituation, his class schedule, if at all possible, can be assigned accordingly. Very seldom would re-evaluation result in the dismissal of a tenured faculty member, though this would by no means beanimpossibility. The A.S. legislature has already unanimously passed a resolution supporting all of theabove proposals but point'(3). We now ask for faculty council and presidential action on the proposal. IfWestern is indeed an academic community, all groups within that community-administrators, faculty,students—must participate in its governance. —Bob Hicks . . . and a policy statement The followingis a statement of FRONT policy under a new editor-in-chief: The FRONT will attempt to publish fair,accurate accounts of the events and issues on campus and in the community. It will as much aspossible provide news stories and features which will appeal to a wide variety of readers. The FRONT will be not only a journal of fact, but of opinion. Any member of the FRONT staff will be free to writeeditorials, but the editor-in-chief will make the final decision on what editorials will appear in print. Alleditorials will be signed and should be understood to be the opinion of the writer and not necessarily that of the editorial staff, the news staff, the student body or the college. Editorials will undoubtedly beslanted, as, after all, they are meant to be. We hope the slant will derive from an informed, logicalanalysis of the issue in question. The FRONT will not be the "mouthpiece" of any group or individual. Itwill of necessity be flavored by the personality and political beliefs of the editor. If it then coincides withthe beliefs of any group, it will be just that: coincidental. The FRONT hopes to soon institute an openforum policy which will allow any member of the college or community to say what he wishes aboutpertinent issues, in greater depth than is allowed through the letters to the editor. Finally, we wish toserve the reader, but we will not be his slave. We feel that good service includes instruction andleadership. We will try to give both. —Bob Hicks IT'S ME.. THZ BlAJEBlRDOF HAPPINESS.. VOUHIT MM 1K£EtejAlW AND:PL.L WOOL NOOK. Tt£Tff OUT i ll « column of opinion Front LinesBOB HICKS An editor gets an amazing variety of mail at his desk, relatively little of it containing anyusable news material. Much of it comes from corporations and private interest groups, who try to get freeadvertisements in the form of "news releases". The most interesting piece of mail I have received sincebecoming editor, however, is a release sent by Clarence G. Adamy, president of the National Association of Food Chains. The memo is an attempt to give ". . .some perspective about the role of food chains inthe current dispute between.grape growers and a group of farm workers." Mr. Adamy is kind enough tolucidly define the problem facing food chain managers. "The real issue," he writes, "and we believe it tobe an important one—is whether it is morally right to attempt to force a third party to become an activeparticipant in (a) dispute between two other groups. Can they allow themselves, in other words, to become the shuttlecock in someone else's badminton game?" Food chains "recognize their socialresponsibilities," Adamy says, "and are eager to help in those cases in which they can act positively asinformed participants. Most, however, do not want to take sides in disputes to which they are not a party,and find completely improper efforts to force them to do so." It seems highly commendable that Mr.Adamy would spend the time to explain to the public the moral issues involved in the grape boycott.Somewhere, though, there seems to be a problem in the logic ' of the thing. One can hardly keep fromwondering about this "third party" "disputes to which they are not a party" business. "Food chains neither grow farm products nor work in the fields," Adamy asserts. But does this make them a third party? Jtseems that buying and selling grapes would rather sufficiently identify a grocer with one side of thedispute. He buys grapes at a low price and he sells them at a higher price, and he gets a profit, and thatkind of involves him in the dispute, doesn't it? But then, that couldn't be, either. As Mr. Adamy pointedout, men act on moral principles, not for economic profit. * * * * * * Ah, yes, those grapes. And closer tothe home front, Bellingham's own grape boycott turned up an interesting little chain of events a few weeks ago. Happened on the picket line in front of Ennen's Thriftway. Western's group of hardy picketers, some 15 strong, were pacing back and forth with their signs, receiving jeers from a few passing cars, cheersfrom a few more. A shiny, plush 1968 model car parked across the street, and a man got out and walkedtoward the picketers. Hf was tall and hefty, perhaps 55 years old, with distinguished gray at the temples.His clothing was immaculate: tweed overcoat, gray sharkskin suit, buttondown collar, fashionably widetie, hat. Turns out he's a local union official, wants to know just what the hell you people doing here,anyway? Union pepple know they're not supposed to buy grapes; they read it in the Labor News, youpeople trying to cause trouble or something? Well no sir, someone says, we just kind of want to remindall those nice union folks what they read in the Labor News, just so's they won't forget. Well you knowyou're not doing it the right way don't you Mr. Union Official says; why'nt you get off the street and act like civilized young people and by the way, any of you belong to the union? Well no sir comes the reply we're just concerned about the laborers' working conditions and we want to do what we can to support thestrike. Union official turns on his heel, mutters something about scab picketers, gets in his car and drives off. Picketers resume picketing. And life goes on. ---------- Western Front - 1969 January 14 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, January 14, 1969 Western Front 5 1969 . . . a change of attitude?

For the Western Front, a new editor and some new staff members; for the student body, program changes and more books to store in already overcrowded book shelves and desks; for the nation, the inauguration of a new president, Richard M. Nixon. Everywhere material presence of a newyear is obvious: 1969 calendars and license plate stickers, as well as the 1969 astrology forecast books. However, will this new year 1969 also be one of change in more important areas such as world peace or racial understanding? The problem of which shape table to use in the Paris Peace talks was neversolved in 1968. Will 1969 find the diplomats securing a peace treaty? Election year 1969 foundsignificant strides made in the South, with Black candidates for sheriff, justice of the peace and otherofficials winning places in the local town governments. Will the white people accept them as equals andfrequent their offices for aid as they would Caucasian officials? Hopefully 1969 will be a year of attitudechange as well as concrete program change: change in the heart as well as in the law. —MarilynWilliams Violence part of society, according to Drake Editor: In a recent letter to the editor of theBellingham Herald Dr. David Zeigler stated he found "repugnant" the front page picture in the WesternFront for Dec. 10 showing a Black mother holding a child with a revolver in its hand and captioned"Hope". Since Dr. Zeigler found a need to publicly condemn the student action I wish to publicly defendthe picture as a legitimate, albeit b i t t e r , commentary on contemporary American society. As a father of two children, one a retarded boy of seven and another, a normal Black boy of five and a half, I havehad to face this problem of guns and t h e v i o l e n c e t h ey r e p r e s e n t . . .and I have concludedthat a gun in the hands of children in our culture is normal. In our family we have made a concerted effort to prevent the mongoloid child from learning violence as a means of personal problem solving, both forhis own and for public safety. Yet, try as we will, he is already an expert in fashioning a gun from a stickor another artifact, a skill he learned from his "normal" playmates. We have tried to impart these samevalues to the younger child also, but he, too, has learned to shoot, having been thoroughly socialized by Western's Board of Trustees reaffirms college recruitment placement policy Western's Board of Trustees last Thursday unanimously passed the following motion: "The Western Washington State CollegeBoard of Trustees ratifies and endorses the free and open existing placement and recruitment policy of.the college as recommended by the AS Legisature." The policy recommended by the legislature is asfollows: Any person representing himself or a company/ organization, who is interested in hiringindividuals for employment shall be defined as a recruiter. Recruiters as defined above or studentswishing to contact said recruiter or recruiters cannot be discriminated against u n d e r the p r e s e ntanti-discrimination regulations of the State Board Against Discrimination. Therefore, the AssociatedStudent Body supports the current placement policy as stated in Principles and Practices of CollegePlacement and Recruitment and Recommended Practices in Teacher Placement and Employment. Any students wishing to use the Placement Office to talk with recruiters for reasons other than employmentmust adhere to the procedures required of those seeking employment.

May I suggest that the picture of a Black child with a toy pistol could be viewed as a symbol of hope. On the one hand the child can be seen as becoming a part of aculture and a society that is now and historically has been a violent one. In other words, he is becomingintegrated (and aren't we all for integration?) Or, on the other hand, the child could represent the Blackwho rejects the chance to ape "Whitey" and seeks to develop a cultural segregation that is thereforethreatening to the ideological myths of White, racist America. That Black child portrays hope, either byour pervasive cultural standards of violence or by the standards of a Black Zionism and all that that term connotes. One is for integration, the other is for freedom, or minimally, cultural pluralism. I find neitherrepugnant. George F.

Such is not the case with the r e c e n t l y created DraftInformation Center located in the basement of the Viking Union. Senior John Ward, a 26-year-oldveteran, is presently the draft counselor. In discussing his new position, Ward pointed to the lack ofinformation available to students through local draft boards. This and the fear of many students torequest clarification of regulations from the Selective Service, has necessitated the creation of a non-partisan counseling office, well versed in the current draft laws and alternatives available to students.Ward spent Christmas . *Ptaytex it thm trademark of International Playtex Corp., Dover, Del, Internati6nalPlaytex Corp.

Ken Kesey and the prose experimentWALLY OYEN arts columnist For those who rely on book jacket reviews while selecting material forleisure reading, I might suggest that the remarks on the covers of Ken Kesey's Sometimes A GreatNotion (Bantam Book No. N2998, 1964) inadequately describe the.importance of this major work. Anydrugstore book rack will yield lesser novels which may be equally "earthy, torrid", "big, bold and haunting" but Kesey has achieved in this, his second novel, both popular and literary success with a book which is not only entertaining but influential as an experiment in prose techniques. Sometimes a Great Notion isa near-manifestation of that mythical goal of every writer known as "The Great American Novel". Keseyportrays, against the background of a backwoods Oregon lumber town, the struggles of man againstnature, against other men, and against those secrets which lie hidden in the shadows of each man'ssoul. He tells us, in language near poetry, that, while nature is indifferent to man, it has some inherentquality which makes it possible for man, through his work with and against nature, to come to terms both with other men and with himself. It is, indeed, a strange, if not unique, blend of the realistic and romanticmoods in literature. Kesey here, as in his first novel One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest , (Viking Press,1962; also highly recommended) is greatly concerned with the individual's ability to determine his ownactions, the direction that his life will take, and with man's tendency to blame his fears and misfortuneson external influences. Kesey feels that by abdicating responsibility for himself and admitting dependency upon that external, be it another man, men or nature, the individual sacrifices pride in himself and beliefin his own value. In Sometimes a Great Notion, Leland Stanford Stamper (a latter-day Hamlet with morethan Oedipal overtones) moves hesitantly through an unhappy childhood, school in the East, a prodigalreturn to his rejected family in Oregon, a lumber strike, his own introduction to logging, and a tangle ofrelationships with his various relatives, bent on revenging himself on his half-brother for a long past affairwith Leland's mother. His ultimate realization is that his only revenge can be on himself for havingblamed anyone else for his frustrations. He realizes that he cannot be free until he has made himselfequal in stature, at least in his own eyes, to that person on whom he has made himself dependent.Kesey's greatest success in this work, however, is the application of a pure system of shifting first-person narration alternating with an omniscient observer. Using this method Kesey enables each of the majorcharacters to relate events from that person's unique perspective, varying the narrator from paragraph toparagraph or even sentence to sentence. Although this technique has been utilized in various ways byothers (notably William Faulkner and Lawrence Durrell), they have had to use clear labels or other artificial distinctions to indicate the identity of the speaker. The changes of speaker in Sometimes A GreatNotion are indicated only by differences in dialect or thought patterns, differences which are at timesquite subtle. Kesey introduces the device gradually, however, familiarizing the reader with eachcharacter's traits and ideas, thus facilitating their identification. Although there may be at times as manyas four individual narrators on a single page, there is little confusion. At times the narrator even speaks to the reader on two levels of consciousness, with speech and with actual thought indicated by italics. This should not be considered the only experimental element of the work but it is by far the most important:with it Kesey has opened new doors to the portrayal of human relationships for all writers, and this novelitself may well become one of the most influential in American literature. Sometimes A Great Notion willprovide good exercise for the student of literature and excellent entertainment for anyone who is tired ofIan Fleming and Harold Robbins.

Nor feels less thanperfect, either. Relax with new Beatk album TIM LEFFLER contributor TAKE THIS BROTHER, MAY ITSERVE YOU WELL. One thing about the Beatles is that they sure seem to be enjoying themselves, and I think they're asking us to join in: Enjoy and enrich, and we shall know joy and richness. (The word richis not the exclusive property of the word money.) Come on is such a joy. Two years ago or so, JohnLennon said of the Beatles, "We're more popular than Jesus." Some of us called this statementsacrilegious, and some of us, notably the nebulous hippies, considered it to be "good" sacrilege—If such a thing is possible. Yet, few of us were willing to admit that, sacrilege or not, it was probably true. Forthe young, the Beatles were (and, perhaps, are) more fashionable than Jesus. This statement, however,has no bearing on either the Beatles' or Jesus' message. For, in spite of what negatively inclinedChristian critics might claim, it is my re-viewed opinion that the message was and is the same in bothcases: Say the Word and you'll be free Say the Word and be like me Say the Word I'm thinkin of Haveyou heard the Word is Love. Here we have both paradox and synthesis appearing within two supposedlydiffering social attitudes, and this paradoxical synthesis is restated in The Beatles: The meek shallinherit. A wise man knows both the positive and negative aspects of life. Back in the U.S. Back in theU.S. Back in the U.S. plus S.R. The Kremlin and the University of Idaho are both in Moscow. Georgia ison Breshnev's mind as much as it is on Ray Charles'. Christ did not know a man unworthy of salvation.The wind is low, the birds will sing that you are part of everything. Dear Prudence (Natasha? Lin-Po?),won't you open up your eyes? Look through the bent-back tulips to see how the other half lives. Theother half of what whole? Desmond and Molly Jones are interchangeable characters at the conclusion ofObladi oblada, life goes on. I ask all of you (especially those of you majoring in psychology) what dosongs say of, and to, the subconscious? We all have a different interpretation, but isn't there a commonarchetype somewhere? What do songs say about this archetype? Now, Rocky Raccoon fell back in hisroom, only to find Gideon's Bible. Gideon checked out, and he left it (no doubt) to help with good Rocky's revival. What does Gideon's Bible attempt to revive? Is revival the same as renaissance? Asresurrection? Are rock 'n roll, folk, blues, baroque, ragtime vaudeville, calypso, classical Indian, and justgeneral U.S. pop funk music revived in The Beatles? Is early Beatle music revived in The Beatles? Whydon't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? No one will be watching us Why don't we do it in the road? Do what? Screw? Enjoy? Love? Be more popular than Jesus? Half of what I say ismeaningless. But I say it just to reach you, Julia (Prudence? Natasha? Lin-Po?). The poetic historianswho wrote the Bible would have us believe that Jesus' father was of the sky; his mother, of the earth, buthe was of the universe, and we know what that's worth. So, if God isn't dead, but merely living underseveral pseudonyms, Ooh Prudence, Natasha, and Lin-Po, you know the reason why. I look at you all?see the love that lies sleeping. Now I can see you, be you. I've broken the rules: I've laid it down for all tosee. So, do you, don't you want me to love you? I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you. She'scoming down fast, Yes she is. Yes she is. Who is "she"? Prudence? Julia? Sadie? You? I? Now it's time to say good night. Now the sun puts out his light, and the moon begins to shine into the light of a darkblack night. Blackbird singing in the dead of a chaingang night, all your life you were only waiting for thismoment to be free? only waiting for this moment to arise. Arise, Wake up. Revive yourself. The moonbegins to shine. Do you who are interested in philology know that the Sanskrit root for the word moon isthe same as that for the word mind? The mind begins to shine into the light of a dark black night. You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, youjbetter free your mind instead. After all, we were only waitingfor this moment to be free. Good night, sleep tight. The love that lies sleeping sleeps tight. So, what am I saying,—and is half of it meaningless? Well, if it is, it may well be that the reading half, the half whichis you, can't see the meaning. And, if that's the case, I'll attempt to clarify it for you a little bit. Try totake everything personally. Try to accept everything as relating to the quiet, lonely, and alone self thatonly you know: the self which guides your conscience. If you listen to the Beatles you shall see that they are relating, and are relevant to you. Furthermore, keep in mind that every song you hear on thisalbum,—in fact, every song written by the Beatles—is an extension of the Beatles. (In McLuhanese,"The Beatles"is the Beatles.) Since you listen and relate to them, they are an extension of you. "TheBeatles " is us. ---------- Western Front - 1969 January 14 - Page 9 ---------- w Western downed the Republic . Df China (Taiwan) in a low scoring game 64-55 last Wednesday nightat Carver Gymnasium. The Taiwan athletes have had little success at the start of their tour, whichbegan in.Canada and will end in Honolulu during February. The Chinese were playing American rulesrather than the International rules to which they are accustomed. Six minutes into the game the Viksled 7-4.

A short time later both teams underwenttwo minutes without scoring. Both teams used zone and man-to-man defense, but the zone was reliedon more heavily. At halftime Western led 34-16. Taiwan's offense, was sharp and quick. However, theirdefense lacked backboard c o n t r o l and speed on rebounding. The Big Blue maintained a 20 pointlead for most of the second half. Taiwan began sending in second-stringers with 12:15 left in the game.With 3:30 left in the game, the Viks led by 13 points. However, a spurt of speed by Taiwan reduced thelead to 9 points to end the game. Game scoring honors were taken by Chien-Kuo, who scored 18points. The only other Taiwan player in double figures was Chen Chin-Lang with 10. Western whooutrebounded the Chinese team 60-25, had points from all 13 players. Ed Monk with 11 and WhitHemion with 10 were the only players in double figures, as the Viks showed a well balanced scoringattack. Taiwan players learn game, make friends With a purpose to learn and make friends, the Republic of China (Taiwan) sends its basketball team on a tour of Canada, the United States, and Mexico.Accepting the invitation of the People to People Sports Committee, the same group that sent Western toAsia last summer, the National Chung Hwa basketball team began their tour in December, and will playgames in North America until February. The learning purpose centers around increasing the interest andknowledge of basketball in Taiwan. Interest is great on the island country, but standards of play are wellbelow that of American teams. "Many of our boys are young and have only one or two years playingexperience." said coach Tang Shea-Fang, one of the two English speaking members of the Chinesegroup. Besides inexperience, the Chinese team will also have to play by NCAA rules, instead ofInternational rules, which will make the game harder for them. Three of the Taiwan players were chosenfor the Asian all-star team last summer. Snow is rare in Taiwan, and the team was given a cold andsnowy welcome when they arrived here Wednesday. The delegation ate at SAGA and was given a tourof Bellingham by Western coach Chuck Randall. After the game, 11 families hosted the players for theevening, before they left for Seattle, and points south. Wilson Faung, delegation leader and the onlyother English speaking person, compared the two countries. Having studied at the University of Michigan and New York University, he said school systems of the two countries are similar in structure.

The Viks had one of theirbetter shooting nights, hitting 27 of 50 for 54 percent. Saturday night the Pirates countered Western's 50 percent shooting by hitting 31 of 59 for 52 percent. Wes Person, a 5' 9" sharpshooter from Vancouver,Wash.3 led Whitworth with 23 points. He had 19 Friday night. Whitworth broke a 30-30 deadlock late inthe first half to take a comfortable 44-34 halftime lead. They took advantage of foul shots to boost theirlead to the 83-71 final score. Jimmy Jones had a hot night for Western, hitting nine of sixteen, andfinished with 20 points. Reiersgard had 19, Whit Hemion had 15, Mike Clayton was held to four points.Ruggers tangle with champion Oregon University of Oregon's d e f e n d i n g Northwest IntercollegiateRugby League champions are scheduled to play Western's undefeated ruggers here, Thursdayafternoon. Poor travelling and playing conditions could postpone the Duck's trip to Bellingham andVancouver, B.C. until later in the quarter. Western, averaging 19 points a game, is hoping for a solidfield, which will give its quick backfield good running room. The dynamic inside-outside center duo ofLarry Willman and Al Needier have accounted for 13 tries between them. Leading scorer for the Viks isHarry Dumptruck who has scored 36 points, 33 with his accurate kicking toe. This winter, Western isstrengthened by the return of Ed Plensky, a strong all around player, and Bob Plotts, a graduate andfootball coach at Kooksack Valley High School. Plensky and Plotts should fill the gaps left by MikeFowler and Stu Rickey, Fowler has decided to pass up winter quarter, while Rickey returned to school in Alaska.

Western resumes Evergreen Conferenceaction this weekend when they host Eastern Friday and Saturday night. The Portland Viks are 5-6 thisseason, but have won four out of five games on their home court. Leading the attack for Portland State is 6' 7" Leon Edmonds, a junior transfer from Belle vue Community College. Edmonds averages about 30points and over 10 rebounds a game for the Oregon Vikings. Portland State averages over 90 points agame, but they give up almost the same amount per contest. Western has had three commonopponents withPSC:- British Columbia, San Diego and Sacremento State. While Western defeated allthree teams, the Oregonians have only managed a split with UBC. Eastern's Savages failed to beatWestern in four tries last year, but this season they possess a height advantage that could slowWestern down around the basket. Two 6' 8" juniors, Dave Pounds and Dave Polk provide an awesomeforward wall, along with good ball handling ability of 6' guard, Jim Boxley. Boxley was the team's leading scorer last year with a 14.9 average. Coach Chuck Randall's Viks will counter with a balanced scoringattack. Captain Whit Hemion and Mike Clayton are both averaging in double figures, while Jimmy Jones, Gary Reiersgard and Neal Larson are averaging between seven and nine points per game.

They are: (1) organization, (2} involvement, (3) activities, ana (4) relations. All of these are essential for an effective student government. I will explaineach briefly. First, we must be organized. This requires communication, coordination, and a definitionof the functions of certain offices. The Legislature, Executive, Inter-hall Council, Off Campus InterhallCouncil, and Off Campus Student Union should have cross representation. The Vice President shouldbecome Speaker of the Legislature. I would also create an advisory board made up of dorm, club, and off campus leaders to meet with the vice president to coordinate events and to serve as a link betweenstudents and student government. Second, we must get more people involved in student government to alleviate the problems we have. For example, there are problems with the bookstore concerning prices of books and general supplies, postal facilities, and profit. We must put more students on the bookstoreboard, where problems start and where they can end. The same is true for the Publications. Board. Wemust also get more student voice in the administrative and academic affairs of the college by movingstudents into the departmental meetings and getting better representation on the proposed AcademicSenate. Activities is a third area where we must have students involved and provide better service forstudents. People from off campus and each dorm should be on Activities Commission. This would provide communication links and a larger work force. Fourth is relations with Bellingham. We can mutuallybenefit each other by working together on projects like Homecoming and the school levies. These aresome of the things I would like to do for you if elected. Please remember to vote for your candidates andChoice '68 on Wednesday. Noel Bourasaw . Western. unfortunately does not have enough classes thatprovide background for students who are confused by events and questions in everyday news. It is timefor students to establish their own experimental school that will offer informal classes about Black Power, popular music, national election-year politics, racism and many other topics. I have surveyed thefaculty for the last two months and have found 30 faculty members who volunteered ideas or offered toteach pilot courses in such a school. Your president must be a leader, not just a representative. Hemust be innovative and always aware of ideas from many students all over campus. I personally knowhundreds of students from whom I can appoint student officers and fill vital positions on student-facultycommittees. When I appoint a representative to the Bookstore Board, I will ask him to push for moremail-and check lines and an eventual rebate system for those students who buy all their supplies there. Ihave talked with the manager of the Chamber of Commerce about forming a committee of both chambermembers and students to investigate student complaints about housing and rent. If you write a letter tothe Western Front with a suggestion or complaint or if you speak up at any meeting you attend nextyear, you can expect me to contact you and offer you a job in student government to solve your problem. I resigned as editor of this newspaper last fall to point out the lack of coordination between differentbodies controlling student publications. I rewrote the publications code and it was passed by thelegislature but vetoed by the president. If elected, I will try to pass this bill to give you a direct channelfor criticism of the newspaper and annual. Students to express choice for President nationwideBalloting for Choice '68, first nationwide college presidential poll, will take place in conjunction withAssociated Students voting tomorrow. Students can indicate their choices for president and comment on the war, bombing of Vietnam and urban problems. The sponsors, Time, Inc. and Univac Division ofsperry Rand Corp., hope to receive at least two million returns from more than 1,500 campuses. Theresults are intended to show how America's college population really feels about candidates andissues. The promoters also hope it will prove to newspaper editors that students are—believe it or not— really individuals. If the New Hampshire primary proved nothing else, they say, it showed thatcollegians are not all Far Leftists, Far Rightists, Far In-Betweeners or Far Nothings. "This endlessjournalistic game of lumping all students into one vast and grotesquely misleading generalizationcontinues." Jim Roy, of Choice '68 said. "The archetypal collegian, it now appears, is no longer thestudent leftist with his picket sign and smoldering draft card. The 'average' college student right now,today, is the 'concerned' college student . . . . "The idealistic gleam of such a student portrait willgo.far, no doubt, towards re-establishing middle class America's faith in its gold-plated youth." Forinstance, typical of editorial reaction to sen. Eugene McCarthy's collegiate campaign legions, Roysaid, was that of the New York Times: "Sen. McCarthy has managed to persuade great numbers ofconcerned youth that it is possible to make effective protest against existing American policies andpracticies by traditional democratic means." Choice '68 has been endorsed by both the YoungRepublicans and Young Democrats. AS candidates, amendment face voters tomorrow A full ballotconfronts voters tomorrow in the Associated Students spring election. In addition to AS officers, there will be three constitutional amendments, two opinion polls and Choice '68, the national collegiate presidential primary. Election times are 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Viking and RidgewayCommons; and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Coffee Shop, VU foyer, and Gym foyer. Candidates and officersare: President: Noel Bourasaw, Greg Jones. Vice-president: Dave Davis. Legislature (five seats): ChrisCondon, Steve Cooper, Al Doan, Bob Hicks, Jerry Jazbec, Gordon Kalich, Bill King, Ruth McConnell,John Nestor. Associated Men students president: Forrest Anderson, John Mollan, Paul Lohnes, DanWindisch. Associated Women Students (AWS) president: Barbara Sturck-ler. AWS vice-president:Heather Highmiller, Vicky Wilson. AWS treasurer: Linda Bridges. AWS secretary: Cathie Martin.Constitutional amendments on the ballot include: Article IV, Section 4, part a: "The members of thecabinet shall be the vice-president, director of union facilities, activities commissioner, director offinance, director of public relations and those additional persons appointed to the cabinet at thepresident's discretion. The president shall preside and use the cabinet as an advisory and coordinatingagency. Regular meetings shall be held." Article III, Section 1, part b: "All paid cabinet appointmentsmade by the AS President must be approved by a majority of the Legislature. All other appointments shall be made in writing . to the Legislature at regularly scheduled meetings. Such appointments shall bevalid unless the Legislature shall dissent within seven (7) days by a vote of one-third plus one (1/3 plus 1)of the members voting and present." Article IV, Section 5, part a: "The Activities Commission shall bethe programming agency of the Associated Students. The commission shall be composed of sixmembers: the commissioner who shall preside; social issues chairman, fine arts chairman, specialevents chairman, social chairman, and recreation chairman." The first amendment replaces theNational student Association (NSA) representative with the director of public relations. The NSArepresentative will be placed under ^Legislature. The second bill changes the present legislative approvalof cabinet appointments from 2/3 vote to a simple majority. This lt;s hoped to reduce the friction thatsometimes is evident between the executive and legislative branches, says AS president DanFredrickson. The third bill changes the membership of the Activities Commission. The evaluation andpersonnel chairman is moved under the director of public relations, so that recruiting can be done for all of student government, not just the Activities Commission, says Fredrickson. Polls on the ballot, inaddition to the Choice '68 national collegiate presidential primary, will ask: "DO you favor the NorthCascades Park Proposal?'* and "Do you favor lowering the voting age in Washington state from age 21?"The wizard (James Korski) admonishes the prince (Joseph Grant) in the Western Players production of"Beauty and the Beast," to be presented in five showings Thursday through Saturday.

I can best utilize pressure to student's advantage inregard to the book store, parking, rugby, saga dress rules, dorm hours, and women visitation to men's dorms. Students should make their own decisions on these matters. I am reluctant to take a shovel ina sandbox government which is little more than an extension of the dean of students' office. Before we can govern ourselves we must break this tie. Noel Bourasaw and myself are best qualified to do. thisjob. BOB HICKS AS legislature I am campaigning for legislator because I feel the student legislatureshould be a problem-solving board and I feel I have the experience and capabilities to contribute to theproblem-solving process. As Summer managing, news, copy and feature editor of the studentnewspaper I have become personally acquaihtedwith the key administrators and many key facultymembers. I know how to present the students' position to them and would like to put my experience towork for the entire student body. JERRY JAZBEC AS legislature In the next few years Western will befaced with great changes in many areas of government and administration. Because of this trend, it isnow necessary to plan for the highly qualified leaders in all positions of the student government. Nothaving been a member of legislature tends to limit the garnering of experience. However, as a memberof the 1967 summer Board of Control, I have gained a working knowledge of procedures and needs. Thevaried experiences I have gained will surely help me to develop the long range plans necessary for ourcampus. GORDON KALICH AS legislature I believe that one of the most important qualifications of alegislator is that he possess the willingness to work hard for and with the students. He must be willing to make personal sacrifices to fulfill the responsibilities of his office. It is the duty of a good legislatorto maintain contact with the students and listen to their ideas. If their ideas are practical the Legislator should try his best to see that the ideas are acted upon. It is this type of legislator that I intend to be. If elected, I will not forget my responsibilities to you. WILLIAM KING AS legislature There is a cryingneed on this campus for stronger student government. Stronger government will start with the Leg-? slature. But it won't start with legislators who always think of past action, and it won't start withlegislators worried about simply digging up facts. It will start with legislators who have new ideas andwho listen to the students.

I have office hours in Room 1 of the VU from 1 until 2 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I want YOU to come and talk, RUTH McCONNELL ASLegislature Inter-Hall Council's constitution was challenged by a bill passed by the legislature winterquarter. The result was the lowering of the legislature's prestige in the eyes of the administration.These occasional mistakes must be eliminated if student government is going to expand its power. If aperson cannot write his own name how can he be expected to write a book? Every bill presented tothe legislature should be fully investigated and every member should know all the facts. This is theonly way that mistakes will be eliminated and power increased. JOHN NESTOR AS legislatureApathy is such a wonderful thing: just ask the administration. As long as we students are willing to'take it in the shorts" the administration is going to do with us just what it damn well pleasec. It seemswe students are the first ones to complain^but the last ones to act. We forget that our government canact against the administration: but it takes you. Go to the government; our government can't come toyou. The administration may not listen to three or four students, but it will to three or four thousand!Get involved; voice your gripes; vote. BOBPARTLOW AS legislature write-in Vote for me. I am the best man. AS vice-president DAVE DAVIS AS vice-president "You work that you may keep pace with theearth and the soul of the earth." "For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to stepout of life's procession, that marches in majesty arid proud submission towards the infinite." —TheProphet. Student government must not be satisfied with the achievements we have accomplished sofar. We must strengthen those rights and responsibilities we have obtained. We must continue toenter every area of student involvement on Western's campus. Student government must set newgoals, develop new ideas, strengthening the purpose for student government — to represent thestudents. If we can accomplish these tasks, student government will not only solve the past andpresent problems, but will focus and begin to reflect on the future problems facing this institution, andset an example for future student governments to focus toward. ROGER JENKINS AS vice-presidentwrite-in The incumbent AS president recently vetoed a bill which would have allowed my name, RogerJenkins, and two others, to be placed on the election ballot There is a constitutional amendment onthis ballot which, if passed, would invalidate the outmoded mandate which Mr. Fred-rickson used toveto the bill. This is only one example of the self-interest within our student government. I, as a write-incandidate, believe politicing is not the answer. The answer is on honest and concerned governmentwhich will benefit the whole and not just those few that take part. My basic concern is the studentspirit on the campus. As a united student body we can then persue student needs such as: (1)adequate parkingfacilities. (2) a revision of the student bookstore policies (3) an improved student-oriented athletic program and, (4) a concerned and active Vice President. AMS president FORRESTANDERSON AMS president AMS needs more activities, a larger budget for its activities, and moreactive membership to become a beneficial organization. To attract active membership an interesting schedule of events must be planned. Here are a few of my ideas for AMS expansion. 1) Membershipdrive. 2) AMS day (including a car show, car rally, and booths and demonstrations by clubs) 3) "DatingHabits of Western Girls"publication. 4) Poll concerning the accuracy of the Washington state Pre-College Test. 5) Investigation of the pros and cons of panty-raids. 6) Bookstore Committee 7) 'TeacherEvaluation and Course Critique" publication. 8} Athletic Committee 9) Speakers Bureau 10) Dance Concert Committee JOHNMOLLAN AMS president Student Government suffers from a wave of apathy due to centralization of student activities. AMS is one of the few organizations not subject tocontrol by Activities Commission. The individual may still make his wishes known through directparticipation in AMS. A candidate, when elected, must fulfill his promises. As the record of AMSactivities shows, I have more than fulfilled mine. If re-elected, I plan to increase the scope of AMSactivities in accordance with demands of the student body, to include such activities as a speaker's fund and an orphan's fund for Vietnam, to name, but a few. DAN WINDISCH AMS president AMS is anactive organization. This year AMS put on more activities than any other club on campus. AMS,however, does have a major problem: this problem is participation. An example of this is my owjielection to AMS as my classes representative. There were two people nominated and would you believethat out of the 3,665 members of AMS we had a tie vote. It was 4 to 4. This needs to be changed. Theformer president and vice-president did not change it and the third candidate has no AMSexperience. AMS needs to be changed. The choice is yours. PAUL LOHNES AMS President It ismy feeling, after watching AMS in action for twoyears. that the organization lacks just that: action.The $1,500 (approximately) budgeted yearly to AMS is a wasteful expenditure and should be spentelsewhere. The events sponsored by AMS can be organized more efficient-continued on page 3)Correction The Western Front last week misreported in the story on the Placement Centerdemonstrations that a meeting involving three students and the dean of students led to the taking ofnames of student demonstrators. The writer used another reporter's notes which containedmisinterpretations of comments made by Dean James Hitchman. The Western Front apologizes toChuck Miller, Dave Cunningham, Terry Flanders and Dean Hitchman for any embarrassment thestory may have caused them. '. ^ \ v \ v.V.V V A , * .

Cary Mason, who did notappear at the hearings, is still subject to disciplinary action, the committee said. Dr. LawrenceBrewster, acting committee chairman, read a four-page statement of the committee's decision, inwhich four points were made: 1. There were "substantialirregularities" in identifying the personsinvolved in the demonstrations, including one complete misidentification. The committee doubted the "status of the rules" which the defendents were charged with violating. 2. The committee reprimanded the defendants "for what it regards as numerous instances of unacceptable behavior." The reoortcalled conduct during the hearings "abusive and-offensive," and censured those who usedthe hearing "as an occasion to hurl deprecations at the world, rather than for replying to the charges against them."The report said the committee was unimpressed "by the argument that interference with militaryinterviews is justified by the claim that only a small number of students are interested in suchinterviews." The committee said it "sternly reprimands the defendants for their actions and wordsdirected toward Dean Hitchman." It questioned "the implication that Dean Hitchman has anantagonistic attitude toward students in general or any group of students in particular. 3. Thecommittee also admonished "the appropriate officers of the college for seemingly failing to act inthe development and promulgation of rules according to the full letter and spirit of the Navigator." 4.The report recommended that a committee be appointed to make recommendations on recruiting andplacement problems; that procedures and rules governing student behavior be put in a central file forstudent inspection; and that steps be taken to formalize rules and procedures for DisciplinaryCommittee hearings. The report was signed by faculty members A. Hugh Fleetwood, StanleyLeProtti; students John Dombroski and Martha Gregory; and acting chairman Lawrence Brewster. Thecommittee had met "a number of times" this weekend to draw up the statement, according toBrewster. In public hearings last Wednesday and Thursday, students charged with violations disputed the means of identification and the specific laws allegedly violated. They had been identified through a Bellingham Herald photograph, personal recognition by the dean of students and the campusmarshals, lists of students who entered the Placement Center and did not check out, and by signedstatements released by the sit-ins. In the hearings Wednesday night, Dr. Lawrence Brewster wasnamed to chair the committee, after Dean James Hitchman disqualified himself and PresidentCharles J. Flora's replacement, Dean of Research Herbert C. Taylor, who is also National Guard reserves officer, was voted down by the students charged with violations. All but two entered "not guilty" pleas Wednesday night. Charges against a third claimed "guilty and not guilty" were dropped Thursday night. On Thursday more than 450 persons jammed L-4 to hear the students answer the charges. ChrisCondon said he was "bitter at the proceedings" since he was being tried "by a system that preacheshypocrisy." He said he was against "the whole bloody generation that runs this college."

However, if you can see no tangiblebenefits from the exi stance, vote for me and abolish AMS. AWS president BARBARA STURCKLERAWS president If not now —when? If not here —where? If not me—who? The primary responsibility of AWS President is to represent the majority of the women students on Campus. One way of achieving this goal is through a better communication with the dorms, off-campus houses and the AWS cabinet.Solution —a newsletter and personal contact. Extending AWS is the second goal. A wider variety ofprogramming (pro and con issues, a career board, retreats, and debate- dessert sessions with theprofessors) mixed with a lot of freshness would create more enthusiasm. Better just smile andremember me: Barbara Jeanne Sturck-ler. AWS vice-president HEATHER HIGHMILLER AWS vice-presicent I would like to suggest the following as ideals to be considered by every woman student:1. The initiation of a bulletin for the living group informing them of events, work parties... 2. The initiationof a part-time job listing . . . 3. The initiation of a newsletter . . . 4. The initiation of dorm and off-campus visits to meet and inform you of AWS... 5. To co-ordinate and team with the other officers inpresenting you with the traditional and new programs . . There are many more ideas and you areresponsible for my enthusiasm and desire to work for you. VICKY WILSON AWS vice-president TheAssociated Women Students can be whatever organization the women on this campus want it tobe. The office of AWS vice president is somewhat open, as to function and duties, but through thisoffice I would like to channel my efforts to make this the club mat you want. I'd like to hear and workon your ideas and suggestions. I now serve as social chairman for AWS, and worked extensively lastyear, so I feel I do know much about the organization. I am very interested and enthused about AWSand would like to play an active part in it by serving as your vice-president.

Not only because the administration's approachto this case is questionable, but also because the defendants themselves, particularly the leaders,made it so with their undignified and insulting behavior. It is true Chris Condon and Reg Butlerdemonstrated great personal courage in speaking out for their beliefs, as did the other 19 students stillcharged for sticking together. And they all deserve respect for doing so. But it was not necessary for Mr.Condon to direct his frustrations at the college administration, which bears no responsibility for the war.Nor was there anything constructive in the clumsy attempts to ridicule Dean Hitchman or the disgustinginvective directed against the Committee. The contention that the administration violated properprocedure is unfounded. "The Navigator" explicitly states, on page 20, that the Disciplinary Committee isempowered to try students charged with violating college regulations; and every procedural conditionstated on pages 22 and 23 was met. Nor can Bob Partlow's argument that he is not bound by any rule he had no part in making, be accepted. Although it may not be democratic, it certainly is clear, on page 20, that every student accepts as a condition of his enrollment the regulations and policies of the college. Itis true the Navigator states that "all policies pertaining to student behavior shall be made readilyavailable in writing for student reference." However, it is reasonably implied the college also has theright—indeed, the obligation—to maintain order and protect the rights of others. For instance, the rights of those students who wanted to interview the recruiters. So, technically, the administration is right. But the college officials went much farther than they needed to go in this case. Beyond meeting the twoabove-mentioned responsibilities, the administration should be more tolerant of demonstrations, sit-ins,panty raids, and the like. For, if Dean Hitchman and other administration officials will recall their owncollege days, they surely remember that students must be able to let off steam now and then, and that a good deal of this sort of activity is precisely that. If they did not recognize this immediately, certainlythe carnival atmosphere of the hearing should have proved it. The administration must protect propertyand human rights. But by going beyond this, by pressing charges, it simply demonstrates its lack ofunderstanding of the students. —Don B.

The ballot is large and the results will be significant—not only for a dozenAssociated Students positions and the AS constitution, but on the state and national level, too. , ^T Those polls on the North Cascades National Park and lowering the voting age from 21 will beconsidered, and you can be sure that Choice '68 will receive more than scant notice. That's becausenearly 5 million students on 1,300 campuses will be able to voice their choice for U.S. presidentthrough the poll. Choice '68, not Indiana, will be the first primary in which Robert Kennedy and EugeneMcCarthy meet headon. Richard Nixon will be running against opposition from the right and left,because the ballot offers Ronald Reagan as well as Nelson Rockefeller, John Lindsey and others.Choice '68 will reveal who has the support of the college students, and this could mean quite a bit at theparty conventions this summer. Maybe more in November. Back at home base, don't forget theAssociated Students. The FRONT has provided space in this issue for the candidates to state theirplatforms. Tonight, they will participate in the Popcorn Forum at 8 in the Coffee Shop. While the Western Front is not endorsing a candidate for office this year, we urge you to go to the polls. Before you think that your vote won't count, just remember: —In 1948 Lyndon Johnson won his Senate seat by only 87 votes out of a million cast. —In the same year, President Truman was elected because he carriedthe key states of Ohio and California by an average of less than one vote per precinct. —In 1875, onevote made France a Republic rather than a monarchy. —Last week, a student at the 30,000-enrollment University of Washington won student body president by 99 votes. And if you're a senior orplan not to return to Western next year, remember before you pass up the polls that the keypersons in most of the candidates' campaigns are seniors. If they're still willing to push for somethingthey won't even benefit from, there must be an ingredient in these elections to make the AS meaningful to more than those who run the show from the top floor of the Viking Union. —Jeanne Doering Kennancomments It's too bad that George Kennan wasn't at the disciplinary hearings last week. The formerambassador to Russia would have had an answering word for those students who blamed the college foreverything from discrimination to the Vietnam war. In the "New York Times Magazine" of Jan. 31,1968,he wrote: "The world seems to be full today of embattled students . . . That these people are embattled is unquestionable. That they are really students, I must be permitted to doubt." He added later in thearticle, "Willingness to accept, in principle, the workings of a system based on the will of themajority, even when you yourself are in the minority, is simply the essence of democracy." Hemade other good points about the "student left" and student action. If you're dissatisfied with the angrywords and piles of pass-outs, go to the library and read his article. It won't take long, but it should helpto put into perspective recent events. —J.D. Letters to the Editor Brick-brack Editor: I have beenpeeking apprehensively out at our new red square, wondering when the expanding circle of brick isgoing to engulf the whole campus, and I'd like to ask the parties responsible for this atrocity what thehell's going on here. Now I'm sure that at some point in your scheming it must have occurred to you thata little grass and some flowers, and maybe a few more trees might have been nice. I find it hard tobelieve that nightmares of a hippie colony on the green scared you away from that idea. You mighthave provided an invitation for our burgeoning flock of cultural revolutionists to dissipate their publicardor in private orgies among the hyacinths, but no! You had to go and sculpt a collage of Hiroshimaon the morning after to provide both in* spiration and ammunition for our first riot. Frankly, I think it's afascist plot to wipe us out — or least keep us from reproducing. I can see it now: the righteouscitizens of Bellingham gleefully rubbing their hands together while the student body and the National Guard whip up ahugeGotterdam-erung against the burningback-drop of all that is not brick at WWSC.Leonard Davis Graduate, English Silence means wisdom Editor: Silence, besides insinuatingapproval, many times, indicates wisdom: The one quality animals lack, and sometimes people.

Steve Balogh Senior, sociologyCemmission undemocratic Editor: While listening to Greg Jones and Noel Bourasaw giving campaignspeeches, I became aware of one issue that especially concerns all students. This issue is theproblem of who should sponsor activities and when. This issue only seems to bother students whentwo groups want to sponsor an event at the same time. Dorms, clubs, and organizations all want tosponsor dances, concerts, and other activities. At the present time Activities Commission is theonly group that can "legally" sponsor mixers and concerts. It is undemocratic for any oneorganization to control all mixers, all concerts, or all of ,any. activity; Eaclkgcoup.should be allowed oneactivity (of their own choosing) per quarter. A solution to the problem is to set up an agency to control all student activities. This agency would control all groups (on or off campus), including ActivitiesCommission. It would schedule the time and place of each event. I suggest that this agency consistof an equal number of AMS and AWS members and a faculty-advisor. These members from AMS andAWS should consist of a representative from each club and organization. Since AMS and AWSrepresent all the students at Western, and these organizations need a bigger part in studentgovernment, this suggestion could help solve two problems. The Associated Students presidentialcandidate who decides to use this plan will receive my vote on election day. Forrest AndersonSophomore, art Drake story errors Editor: With reference to the article in the issue of the WesternFront of 16 April telling about my experiences in Latin America I would like to offer some comments. 1.There are not less than nine major errors of fact in the brief article, some of which are of noconsequence, such as that of granting me my degree at Wisconsin rather than at Berkeley, or calling acow skin rug a bear skin. Other errors are perhaps due to a misunderstanding of the "jargon" used bythe person being interviewed resulting in the statement that "Only a social revolution". . . will accomplish a change in role occupants." This is not my idea of a social revolution and is not what happened inMexico. 2. Much more important is the error that impugns my integrity as a scholar. I did not"infiltrate" anything in Bellavista.

Aura Cuevas Carlton Faculty Wife, enraged Parkingsuggestions Editor: I have two suggestions regarding parking problems: 1. A few more spaces could becreated if the city and/or the college would paint lines on the street, complete with maneuveringspaces, as downtown. This would be most helpful to the hordes of people who "congest" the Higginsonlot because they come from the north. To be able to park on Indian or Garden would save them muchtime and gasoline and would siphon off some of the through traffic up Highland — traffic which, by theway, has to move up the slope faster than 20 mph to make it up at all? 2. When feeding people became burdensome to the college, it farmed out this activity to Saga Food. Why not do the same with parking? Surely some parking Cut F l o w e rs for your room from yiof^r 1426 Cornwall Ave. 733-7630 lotfranchiser would have the capital to provide better facilities for less cost to the user. The cost ofpolicing as well as of maintenance would be reduced and that money channeled elsewhere. Such aservice might even allow for occasional use, visitor use, and the like, and the consumer would pay forexactly what he gets. Finally, any parking and traffic reforms ought to make some provision forloading zones, so that you don't run the risk of being ticketed if the person you're waiting to pick up islate. Nancy B. Charlton Graduate Assistant, English AS convention tally Editor: I would like to reflectmy disappointment in the proceedings at the Associated Students nominating convention held lastFriday night in the Viking Union. The incident I am speaking of is in Die chair's decision not to announcethe final tally of the delegate votes for the prospective candidates. I feel that this is the height of theconvention and those who do not keep a running tally as the delegations announce their votes do not get a clear picture of the strengths of the candidates. I spoke to the Speaker of the convention, DaveCunningham, about this action and he has valid reasons as to why he did not make the announcement.I simply would like to see that this does not happen next year, because I seriously feel that it detractsfrom the excitement of the convention. Dave did a competent job as speaker and should becommended for it. One other disturbing fact is that the Western Front, in trying to give us a tally of thepresidential candidates, printed incorrect results. Thanks for trying anyway. Rosemary ThorsonJunior, Geography Editor's note: Since nominating convention chairman Dave Cunningham refused tomake public the results of the voting, the Front used tallies made by two staff members. Last year,voting results were published. We regret chairman Cunningham decided to keep this vital informationfrom the student body this year. Rules defend immorality Editor: We are witnessing today thebreakdown of respect for law and order in our society. This is the inevitable result of circumstances inwhich rules, regulations, laws, established policies and procedures are repeatedly used to perpetuateinjustice and to defend immorality. If we wish to restore law and order to the world, we must returnjustice and human dignity to their proper place as the highest values to which man can aspire. If theadult community and the powers that be do not meet this responsibility, then it is up to those of us whoare "hip" to exercise this responsibility for them. The procedures of the College Marcelle CosmeticsPrescriptions * STAR DRUG REXALL STATE HOLLY Disciplinary Committee in their hearings withregard to recent student protest demonstrations are just another example as to why demonstrations, sit-ins and protest marches are now necessary in order to bring about a confrontation with the realissues of today's world.

TadMelbin Lecturer, Spanish Defends lighting Editor: The recent Rod McKuen concert seemed to givemany students the idea that Western Washington State College is equipped with sub-standardlight operators. I can sympathize with those who complained because of the pin-head exposurebeamed to Mr. McKuen's head. If I had been in the audience I too would no doubt have taken theoffensive in saying that the lighting job was a bit weird as far as per formers go. However, may I pointout that by cutting rehearsal, planned for 5 p.m. (he showed up at performance time) McKuen made itpossible for the light operators to know only minutes before showtime that he did not want any colored gel interspersed with his songs and poetry. As Mr. McKuen said "Pm a songwriter, not a.performer." Therefore, at showtime we were told he wanted one lone spotlight (two had been prepared) to light his head. Light operators are contin- . ually faced with problems of timing because they mustoperate almost spontaneously^ Any crazy lighting effects come as a direct result from the stage orfloor manager traveling with the performer. Operators do not have cue sheets or program layouts. Theirinstructions are given to them seconds before a change in lighting occurs. Unfortunately, during the Mc. Kuen concert, one mishap did occur. The adjusting of the tension release on the spotlight caused aslight movement of the light which, when projected hundreds of feet away was very noticeable andannoying. However, I'd like to point out that pin-pointing a person with a sphere of light is like trying tokeep your hook, line, and sinker directly beneath the bottom of the boat JL Tlrouefte"by (omngeblossom For the first time, and just in time for you, diamond rings are blossoming into something asfresh and extraordinary as the feeling of being engaged..

Chris Winsor Junior, Speech Chicago writes BSU Editor: In your issue ofApril 9 there appeared a letter signed by the Black Students Union of WWSC, who took to task whiteliberals for their crime of silence regarding recent events. I am white, although I live in a black section ofSouth Chicago: although I am well to the left of the American "liberal", I believe that the BSU attack was unwarranted and needs an answer. First, middle-class guilt is middle-class guilt, regardless of color.The fact that members of the BSU are at Western indicates that they are better off than their blackbrothers who live around me; college is not in a ghetto life. Second, BSU attacks white liberals fortheir inaction in the face of the white racism which ?s rampant in America. I accuse BSU of evengreater inaction. As I write this letter there are blacks in every city jail from Portland to New Yorkaccused of various crimes during the recent riots. We at the University of Chicago are tryingdesperately to raise bail money for them. How much has BSU raised? Ghetto education is shiteducation. Lousy teachers, lousy schools, huge classes. Right now I'm working with two tutoringprojects trying to give these kids some reason to believe that they are human beings. Does BSU havesuch a program?... Finally, the BSU letter made several sophomoric allusions to violence, to somehowpunishing the white liberals for the sins Western Front S of the white bigots. All I can answer is that Ioppose violence, whether it's napalm in Vietnam or police in Chicago. Anyone living in the ghetto cancount the nights that have passed without gunfire. Black America may turn to violence; but whiteAmerica has committed genocide once already. To be killed unarmed by a racist's shotgun is at leastcourageous. But to be hacked up by a machine gun because you shot with a pistol is stupid. Charles L. Smith University of Chicago Senior,hi story Act for conservation Editor: I would like to comment on the job being done by the Action for Conservation organization recently started in this school. Thesestudents have done a fantastic job of organizing meetings and panel discussions concerning theneed for a National Park in the North Cascades. One thing now needed by the group is support fromtheir fellow students. Anyone who is interested in preserving our forests can be of great help. Thegroup's main objective is to make the community aware of the importance of having a National Park inthe proposed area and also to obtain as much local support as possible. Petitions are going around thecampus concerning the issue. Signatures of support are an important part of this program. Anyonewishing to go a step further is urged to write to Lloyd Meeds to inform him of the sincere concern andinterest that is felt by so many concerning mis controversy. If you have any feelings about this Iurge you to take action. This is one issue that can be swayed by public opinion. Take a stand one wayor the other. Let people know that your opinion is of some consequence. N. M. Knight, Jr. iiyATio^-EXPERIENCE " AND RESPONSIBILITY COUNT VOTE GREG JONES A.S.

The present building isbeing paid off by a $2 amortization fee added to student fees, according to Dr. Howard E. Mitchell,professor of economics and chairman of the Co-Op Advisory Board. The $43,407 profit of the 1966- 67 fiscal year went into inventory expansion and turnover, a sinking fund for facility expansion and a permanent $3,000 fund to cover payments if fee money falls short. A complete set of records is given to each member of the Board. Besides Dr. Mitchell, they are Dr. Moyle F.

A price comparison list shows Western's bookstore textbook prices are about equal to those at Eastern. However, cosmetic and paper supplies prices are higher than at major discount housesdowntown, steinborn said this is because they buy in carload lots, while the Co-op buys only in caselots. There is also a "liberalized buy - back policy," Steinborn said. Now, a book returned in the first two weeks of a quarter is refunded in full, whereas previously it was for only 80 per cent. Bookstore manager Ray T. Khabe concedes mistakes are made, but he wants students to tell management aboutthem. Textbooks are sold at 20 per cent markup above wholesale price.

Legislature objects to collegedisciplinary board arraignment Two bills concerning the disciplinary hearings were introduced at theAssociated Students Legislature meeting Thursday. One passed and the other was sent into committee. A crowd of about 70 turned up for the meeting in the Viking Union. The amended motions, written byJohn Whitbeck and one co-authored by Dave Cunningham, asked that the AS Legislature go on record"as objecting to the arraignment of students by the college disciplinary board April 17 and 18." The billadded that "the method of identification and arraignment appeared too selective and arbitrary andthe students are now subjected to the consequences of particular rules which were not publicized inan adequate manner." The same motion asked that this statement be given to the disciplinary boardThursday night: "In view of the apparent discrepancy between those rules for determining studentbehavioral discrepancies as cited in 'The Navigator, those cited by the prosecution against the studentsallegedly involved in the disturbance in the Placement Office April 8, and in view of the highly irregularand questionable manner used for positive identification of possible suspects, we respectfullyrequest that the Committee consider these discrepancies carefully before rendering any decisions." Sent to committee was a similar motion to be addressed to the President, dean of men, dean ofstudents "and other concerned parties." The Legislature approved Noel Bourasaw»s bill "that the ASLegislature recognize the International Strike for Peace, April 26, and ask Western's administrationand faculty to excuse from classes students who participate in the day's activities." Legislator AlDonaldson opposed it, saying the board should not pass on ideologies. Legislators also voted todirect Jon Murray, elections board chairman, to put on Wednesday's ballot those candidates below2.4 g.p.a. whom Murray disqualified last week. According to a constitutional amendment approvedwinter quarter, a person must have a 2.4 to assume office. Affected would be Bob Partlow and RogerJenkins. Partlow introduced the bill. Legislators rejected Dan Fredrickson's appointment of himself tothe Publications Committee. Fredrickson said he "took the liberty to appoint myself since I amaware of the policies now before the board." Partlow said he favors Dave Cunningham, but Donaldsonsupported Fredrickson, saying he seems most qualified. In other business, the Legislatureaccepted a reserve fund policy drawn up by finance director Scott Williams and agreed to put theNorth Cascades Park poll on the spring election ballot. They also sent back to committee a bill tohave AS work with the Activities Commission in coordinating student dramatic productions oncampus. Introduced and sent to committee were a bill to "advise the registrar's office to make GoodFriday a school holiday, and " one to investigate combining the Western Front and Faculty News as "a new Western Washington state College total news agent." Also sent to committee was one askingthe Dean of Students to submit all material for the 1968-69 "Navigator" to AS, warning mat "if this boarddoes not set to see the material prior to its publication, the AS will not recognize the Navigator'sauthority." Fredrickson raps bookstore profits By DAN FREDRICKSON AS president The Student Co-operative Bookstore, commonly known as the Co-op, made a profit of $43,407.49 for the 1966 to '67 year. This is truly an amazing fact. As a freshman I thought the co-op was a non-profit organization, solely inexistence for the students. This is a list of profits for the past six years: 1966-67—$43,407.49 1965-66- 36,090.12 1964-65— 30,451.46 1963-64- 34,150.89 1962-63- 21,643.82 1961-62- 22,194.52 Thiscomes to a total profit for the past six years of $187,938.30. Our Student Co-operative Bookstore alsosells textbooks at cost plus 20 per cent. This means that if they purchase a book for $10, they sell it tothe students for $12. This simple economics (if economics can ever (Paid political advertising) BOBHICKS candidate for legislature — knowledge —experience —capability be simple). There arenecessary costs involved in selling a book; handling, storage, etc. But as I look at the profit they makeper year and then total up how much I pay per year for books I wonder if possibly some of this profit could not be , returned to the students via lower prices. Another interesting item. The paperbacks have beenmoved to the mezzanine and are now being sold at retail price. This means cost plus 30 per cent. Inother words, if you buy a paperback for $1.30 the bookstore purchased the book for $1.00. Our StudentCo-operative Bookstore is not co-op. They no longer give rebates and last spring quarter they went off the discount system to the principle of standard retail pricing. Is there anything we can do? TheLegislature has asked Dr. Howard E. Mitchell, the chairman of the Bookstore Board, to come to theirmeeting at 4 p.m. Thursday, in VU- 208. If you are interested, please attend.

European squares inspired concepts behind quadrangleEuropean public squares pro-vided inspiration for the quadrangle, now nearing completion. Workmenare installing brick paving in a large area surrounded by Haggard Hall, the humanities building, thenew physics-math- computer center and the future education - psychology building. The quad willbecome Western's public square when all buildings surrounding it are completed and in use. Anestimated 4,000 students will cross it every hour as they change classes. Heavy use makes grass in-feasible, Ibsen Nelsen, architect said. As new construction moves the campus southwardaccording to plan, the quad will become the geographic as well as the functional center of thecollege. The original concept of the quadrangle was developed by George Bartholic, campusplanning consultant. Architectural design was by Nelsen whose observations of European courtyardson a recent tour provided concepts. During early planning, lines were drawn across a plan drawingof the area, connecting each door and walkway opening onto the quad. It was quickly apparentcovered walkways would be impractical. The architect solved this and other problems by paving theentire area with brick laid in a herringbone pattern. Major paths and points of access will be marked by a change in the horizontal pattern of brickwork. Color of the brick was selected to match facades ofsurrounding buildings to visually integrate the design of the area. Greenery to complement theluxuriance of the Old Main quadrangle, whose park-like appearance will be preserved in the overallcampus plan, will be provided by sycamore trees planted in and around the brickwork. These fast-growing trees will attain a height of 30 to 40 feet in five years and will eventually be 60 to 70 feet tall with a spread of 40 to 50 feet. Effective use of lighting and the large, circular Charles H. Fisher MemorialFountain will add to the attractiveness of the area. The fountain, named for a former college president,was contributed by his family and friends. A coffee shop in the European style is to be located in theeducation - psychology building. Flans may include tables arranged on the edge of the quad and in anenclosed courtyard. Paving will be largely completed by the end of April. The remainder of the quad,except for the area adjacent to the education - psychology building, is scheduled for completion by theend of the year. Attica Gallery director finds 'decadence' in senior exhibit Editor's note: The followingreview of the Senior Art Exhibit was written by Vernon Gray, director of the Attica Gallery in Seattle. Theexhibit will be up until Friday in the Western Gallery. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. Withinthe framework of my duties, as director of the Attica Gallery, lies the constant challenge of selectingwork for Exhibition. As a result, I view varied works constantly — including works by students,professionals — and others. It must be understood that I view all work as a dealer. An impact of colorwas most evident on entering the gallery. My pleasure in viewing this surge of energy was short lived,when I realized that most of the artists were not aware of how to express themselves with their color.Most of the paintings were without direction; they lacked depth and perspective. The exceptions were tobe found with Gary Hallgren's "The Followers of Diogenes," and the works of Mark J. Phipps. Theworks of Mark Phipps show a good use of color and form. He expresses an emotional quality, thatlends a sincere depth to his paintings. He seems hindered, however, with a lack of freedom, a timiditywhich should be overcome. Hallgren's, "The Followers of Diogenes," expressed much imagination andforethought. His colors carried a strengh and subtlety throughout the series. The repetitive figures are rich and rewarding in each singular painting, and Hallgren also causes them to flow into contact of union,which brings his series to a fulfilling finish. The welded steel sculpture of Charles Hall is well executed.This artist obviously enjoys his media. He expresses a poetic sympathy with his use of steel and space.One untitled piece I liked in particular, and desired to see it exposed to the natural forces of nature. Thephotographic processes of Steve Johnson were good. Johnson's capability to produce a photograph ofsuch dimensional and rare emotional quality, results in his work becoming painterly. He has gainedinsight to the photographic reproduction. This could be the beginning of a long period of excitingresearch for the artist The etchings of M. W. Fliart really show fine promise. This artist has obviouslyabsorbed her training and has attained a finished quality that was greaiiy lacking throughout most of theExhibition. The crafts lacked inspiration, and as a result were mediocre. There exists a lack of detailand finish, not only in the physical work itself, but in the deeper asthetic qualities that exude the warmthand life of the crafts. I realize I have not mentioned many works by numerous students, as it would beindignant of me to do so. Titles and prices are not important to me —. but they are important to thelayman. With only-two exceptions, none of the works on view, within the Gallery, were titled or priced. As students, you have missed an opportunity to develop a knowledge of what is required for exhibition.The presentation of art is of great importance. Good work is devalued when surrounded with make-shift frames, matts, or bases — which was most evident in ALL work in the Senior Exhibition. I left thisexhibition with much concern. I did not experience the sense of excitement that should come from thework of young students. My concern was over the lack of any attempt at professional presentation —the poor craftsmanship throughout — the obvious lack of knowledge as to what is happening today, inthis very exciting world of art — there was a decadence expressed within the gallery. A decadence thatcould not come from the outstanding talent of the faculty. I have come away with the impression thatmost of the senior students are not functioning as creative individuals. The faculty can only teach, theartist alone must create and inspire. Brick by brick, the new campus focal point—the Quad—is slowlyfilling up. Too bad the linoleum people couldn't have given a cost estimate for the plaza, too.

Don Walton andReg Robertson sell mimeographed copies of lecture notes for the two areas. "We expected to make a little money," Walton said, "but the business has grown substantially beyond our expectations."More than 500 subscriptions for humanities notes were sold, he said. About 100 students signed upfor Afro-Asia notes and about 75 for general education 105 and 200. The notes are sold daily, weeklyand onaquar-terly subscription basis. "We were amazed at the legal DToeedures involved," WaKonsaid. "After getting a license to sell, we had to talk with a lawyer about tax forms, payroll accountingand other areas of business." The idea first originated at the University of California at Berkeley, thenit spread to the University of Washington, he said. Dan Fredrickson, AS president, initiated the ideaand introduced a bill to the student legislature asking the AS to sponsor the business, Walton said. ._. TV to be used for classes by 1969, Dr. Riehle says It won't be long until students receive the benefits of instructional television. By fall 1969, according to Dr. Hal Riehle, director of educational media,Western will have two fully operative television studios and a closed circuit system. "We use thesystem now in the student teaching program," Dr. Riehle, professor of education, said. Thedepartment program includes plans to expand campus audio - visual facilities, provide services formovies and film strips for faculty students, teach a basic audio-visual course and guest-lecture to otherclasses, and provide photographic; and graphic support of the visual program. He uses "a boot strapmethod," he said. "We start by using a basic piece of equipment which in turn teaches us aboutanother. This places learning more on the shoulders of the students." /S Sigmund Freud speaks topsychology majors: i • • Very often, money in the bank is an instantly effective cure for personalityproblems. 99 ^ ^ Which leads us into a little commercial about NBofC f B| Special Checking Accounts.-Great way to solve inse-l ! r# curity feelings.

"Beauty and the Beast." will be presented Thursday through Saturday in theAuditorium. Performance times are 3:45 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 7 p.m. Friday; and 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. The play has a deep psychological message, says director Gayle Cornelison, besides moralizing that appearances are deceiving. "It follows the traditional telling except for theinclusion ot tne wizard and Mickey, who tell the audience what happens to the Prince before beingturned into the beast," he said. "Beauty and the Beast" first shows a prince exhibiting beastlyqualities. After being imprisoned for 500 years by a wizard he actually turns into a beast who displaysan inward beauty. "The play is saturated with magical effects, which makes it highly complicated from atechnical aspect," added Cornelison, who is also designing the set There will be riggings to enablefour actors to fly across stace Cast members include Hodge, played by Jim Korski; Mickey; SherryKam; the Prince, Joe Grant; and Mr. Clement, Gary Ramey. * Also appearing in "Beauty and theBeast" will be jessamine, played by Sandra Van Arnam; jonquiline, Linda Kettel; and Beauty, played byPam Beckman, who is also making costumes. Lighting sets play mood By STEVE LAMPE NEWSEDITOR Few people realize the work involved in enhancing a play with lighting. "The purpose oftheatrical lighting is to illuminate the actor and set the mood of the scene," Barney Smith, AS lightingconsultant, said. "By changing colors, dimming and bringing up the intensity, the lighting crewcan make the performance more meaningful for the audience." Color is a big problem. There are morethan 170 gels-colored blocks of a plastic-like material of varying intensity values and "We almost haveto guess what types would look good and then work from there, ' smith said. Lights vary for desiredeffects required. Large carbon-arc spot lights are used for wide illumination and smaller beams forspecial effects. On stage other lights are needed for special effects and other iignts are needed forbrightening ordimming the entire playing area. "The big difference between lighting for a play and for aspecial show is the rehearsal," Smith said. For a play each member of the lighting crew spends about80 hours working with director, actors and production crew. "After setting up the lights we have to aimthem, color them, work with intensity, and rehearse many times," he said. For special shows in thegym, there is no time for practice, Smith says. "We can't darken the gym until about an hour before the performance. Coloringisaprob-lem because the performer seldom arrives soon enough for testing." Abasic goal, he said, is to change effects without distracting the audience. / Valley Guild for RetardedChildren present 'Southern Soiree7 Fashion Show of Bridal Formal, Evening Fashions Models —Blossom Time Queen Candidates and Hostesses Wednesday Evening, April 24 — 8 P.M.

The city agreed to restore the route originallyrequested on tne sponsoring group's parade permit application, the Rev. Robert C. Swain, chairman ofthe Whatcom County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said. The ACLU last week hadthreatened to seek an injunction on behalf of the sponsors against the city to restore the route. Thecontroversy arose when the city police department rerouted the planned march onto Magnolia Street,one block east, because of "traffic." The group complained this route would deny them maximumexposure to downtown crowds and protection by police on Holly from harrassment. The marchers agreed in their permit application to stay on sidewalks, obey traffic signals and walk two abreast so as not toobstruct traffic. The route is from campus down Indian, Chestnut, State and Holly streets and upCornwall Avenue to the Federal Building. The group planned to assemble on Old Main lawn at 2p.m. Student personnel master's program to begin in Fall A new Master of Education program instudent personnel administration at Western has been announced by Dr. James H.

Harold A. Goltz, director ofcampus planning made the proposal in a four-point resolution based on findings of the financialproposals subcommittee. The subcommittee, chaired by college business manager Joe Nusbaum,proposed funds be provided by the housing and dining system, Nusbaum said in a memorandum toDean of students James Hitchman. Goltz also recommended the Trustees consider a lease with theAssociated Students (Asi The AS would retain ownership of the property, but the lease would enable the college to obtain funds from housing and dining. Goltz said the administration would establish afacilities governing board to represent both students and faculty. The final point of his resolutionasks the Trustees to accept a recommendation by the AS to retain the present architectural firm.The AS legislature hired the firm of Olson, Richert and Bignold to draft preliminary designs.

News in brief Grades won't be held for delinquent fines Starting this quarter,grades will no longer be withheld because of delinquent fines, according to Dean of Students James Hitchman. Instead, students owing more than $25 will be notified in advance that subsequentregistration at the college will require clearance of the account. Students who fail to return to Western will have their records (transcripts or diploma) withheld until the bill is paid or settled. Disputes will be adjudicated by the office concerned or by the Dean of Men or Dean of Women, Hitchman said. Thechange was made after students and parents had complained that advance notice and billing had notbeen given prior to withholding grades. Also, many lists sent to the Registrar had been erroneous.Vietnam war speaker to give S.E. Asian view "After Vietnam, What?" will be Russell Johnson's topicwhen he speaks at 4 p.m. tomorrow in L-4.

Heinlein's book chosen for BOQ spring panels Heinlein's "Strangerin a Strange Land" will be the spring book of the quarter selection, the BOQ committee decided lastweek. The committee chose the book over suggestions of Watts' "Nature, Man, and Woman," and'The Book" Miller's "Stand Still Like the Humming Bird," I and McLuhan's "Understanding Media." Thecommittee agreed that fiction would be more appropriate for spring. This is the Western Front's lastissue for winter quarter.

Seestudent criteria for new president on page 5. Lawyer said arrangements for candidates' visits were made"at the earliest possible dates." He added that the faculty committee is "looking forward to completingthe selection soon" but that if the new president has commitments at his own campus, he may not beable to assume duties until fall. Legislature drops Hitchman letter The Associated students Legislaturedecided Wednesday not to send Interim President Charles Flora the letter it drafted the week beforeasking for Dean of Students James Hitchman's resigna- ' Legislator Al Donaldson said^as he moved totable the letter, that it was no longer effective, * Legislators wrote the letter in a five-hour special sessionFeb. 21 after questioning Hitchman for nearly an hour about his actions concerning the resignations oflegislators Noel Bourasaw and Drew Pettus. Neither legislator met the 12-hour requirement for sitting onthe board. In other action Wednesday, John Whitbeck, a senior English major, was appointed to fill avacancy on the board next quarter when legislator Denny Hindman enters the Reserves. Whitbeck won the position over speaker of the Legislature Dave Cunningham by a vote of 6-5. Two other candidates,Drew Pettus and jerry jazbec, withdrew their applications before the vote was taken. Whitbeck toldlegislators before the voting that he considered their recent move in asking for Hitchman's resignation"rash," adding that "freedom presupposes responsibility." He saw need for an effective liaison with theadministration. Greg Jones showed legislators a plan to place college-recognized clubs undercommittees of the Activities Commission, so clubs won't compete for appropriations with other branchesof student government. A memorandum from Dean Hitchman clarifying the college drinking policy alsowas read. It explains that drinking is prohibited at college-sponsored off-campus events as well as those on-campus. This includes those activities receiving support from the college or officially scheduled by the Associated Students or administration, such as conferences, club events and games. Grad studentssquirm at prospect of draft By DAN MEINS Front Staff Graduate students at Western have lost theirLinus blanket of security against the draft. „ * . ~ According to a new selective service policy, graduate draft deferments are abolished, except for medical and dental students or students in related fields andthose who will have completed two or more years of graduate study by June. The effect is uncertain, butthere is speculation that the new policy may threaten research, reduce the future supply of teachersand curb graduate school enrollment. J. Alan Ross, Dean of the Graduate school, predicts no drastic ,drop in graduate enrollment because of 1he large number of servicemen now returning from duty. Rosssaid the National Council of Graduates, to which Western belongs, has proposed abolition of defermentsby subject area and drafting by tottery. Ross said this is the only fair statement the Council couldpropose, since it has members in all fields of studv. Since the question of fairness is complex,he thinksonly those close to the data can estimate manpower need. If they:findH necessary to draft students whootherwise would go to graduate school, the position seems sound, he feels. The National SecurityCouncil also indefinitely suspended occupational deferments. Teachers, among others, are now subjectto the draft. , , x Frank Punches, director of Educational Placement, said there already exists a teachershortage in primary education, library (Continued on page 2) The clarifications states that if persons more than 21 years old drink after the formal session is over and if there is no behavior that creates a publicscene to discredit the college, then no action will be taken by college officials. Exceptions to this areRosario conferences and retreats and traveling. In other business, five bills introduced and sent tocommittee included one for negotiating a $2 per hour wage rate for student employees and one forappropriating funds to pay AS employees $2 an hour, both submitted by Donaldson; and one asking for$400 from the reserve fund for the Collegiate Council for the United Nations club, by Becky Cohen. DeanVan Donge submitted a bill stating that coverage of Legislature meetings be by a "neutral political science major student being present at said meeting," and that the coverage be "printed in the Western Frontverbatim as submitted." Neal Johns introduced a bill requiring the AS vice-president to submit aquarterly report to the Legislature at the same time as the AS president. Legislators approved over ASPresident Dan Fredrickson'spartial veto a bill abolishing dorm visitationsby legislators. Instead,according to the bill, a legislative representative will be present at Inter-Hall Council meetings. Offcampus college approved houses would also be represented at IHC. I Chris Condon received permissionto address the Legisla-ture. He said he saw an administration and faculty veto of stu- I dent voice, andwants the Legislature to concern itself with this i drain of power. He also requested the Legislature totake out of committee as soon as possible former legislator Noel Bourasaw's bill for organizing an all-student publications board. The newest way to eat spaghetti?

Brown assigns Gen ed task force AcademicDean R. D. Brown has appointed a task force committee to "concern itself wifli the nuts and bolts ofstaffing and scheduling the General Education Program." This action was taken at last Tuesday'sAcademic Council meeting as a result of that group's endorsement of a revamped general educationprogram. Brown urged the 9-man committee to report by Mar. 12. Three SAAB members are on the task force: Dale Scott, Gene Oliver and Bill Seaberg. Symphonic program The Western WashingtonState College Symphonic Band, directed by Phil Ager, will present an informal program of lightclassics at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the V.U. Lounge. Included in the program will be "Die Fledermaus" byStrauss, "Scenes from the Louvre" by Norman Dallo Joio, "A Short Ballet for Awkward Dancers" byHazelman, "Toccata" by Frescobaldi, and "Symphony No. 3" by Gliere.

Harpsichordist David Schaut will join the group for the Bach number. The program also includes Borodin's Polovetzian Dances, and Beethoven's Third Symphony, the"Eroica." Admission is free. A reception will follow. Teachers now draftable (Continued from page 1) and administrative areas. 'We lose a lot of women through marriage," he said, "and if we lose the men tothe draft, it will only make a bad situation worse." He said of 68 school districts 31 cancelled Februaryvisits because there were not enough candidates for interviews. Punches suspects the draft, thefinancial uncertainty of school levies and the fact that many are student-teaching winter quarter causedthe scarcity of interviewees. He added he has many teachers on file for re-employment who are afraid tomove because they may be drafted if not under contract at all times. One graduate student said he isn'tbothered by the new policy. Who is to be drafted, he said, depends on the state policy and, ultimately, on local draft boards and their quotas. One Harvard graduate on television said that graduate students,won't stand for new policy; he predicted they'll go either to jail or to Canada. Jeanne Doering re-appointededitor Jeanne Doering was re-appointed editor of the Western Front for spring quarter by a 5-2 vote oftiie Publications Committee last Tuesday night. Christopher Condon, a junior in biology and lastsummer's editor of the paper was the other applicant He told the three students and four facultymembers of the board that he, as editor, would devote more space to national and international affairs. He said he would take an editorial stand as he claimed Miss Doering has not done. Student-faculty-administration conflicts should be publicized more, he said. The small size of the newspaper was acentral issue at the well-attended afternoon and evening sessions. Miss Doering explained that thebusiness manager, not the editor, is responsible for the size of the paper because he controlsadvertising revenue. She pointed out that last year during winter quarter the paper was larger becauseadvertising took up only 30 to 42 per cent of the paper. This year, she said, the paper has to run about50 per cent ads because of budget problems. Therefore, she said, coverage has been severely limited by lack of space. Testimony supporting both candidates was bom written and vocal. Miss Doering wascharged with presenting a biased account of the AS legislature's action regarding James Hitchman, thedean of students. She said she had tried to present the story objectively, by quoting sources on bothsides. Miss Doering was also attacked for both not taking a stand on vital student issues and for thestrong stands she had taken regarding the legislature. Condon was questioned about his submittingletters to the editor which Miss Doering had refused as potentially libelous. He said he had beenangry at the time and had withdrawn the letters later. He added he would be more responsible if hewere appointed editor. Condon also complained that the FRONT'S present 250-word limit on lettersrestricts students from writing scholarly and documented letters. Miss Doering said this limit isnecessary to allow as many people as possible to express themselves.

The tall freshman has been in the sport a year. (Photo by Eagle e.t.) Parachuting a breeze, says experienced frosh By BOB PARTLOW contributor "It feels like floating. There's no sensation offalling whatsoever." These were the words Jim Fullerton, a freshman from Seattle, used to describe arelatively new sport, parachute jumping. Fullerton is trying to start a club for sport parachute jumpingat Western. The sport, which started in Europe years ago, was first introduced in the United States in1956. Since that time, Fullerton estimates, more man 20,000 people have taken it up. At the firstmeeting on campus recently, 30 people, mostly girls, were in attendance. Fullerton says that having girls in the club is not unusual. He pointed out that after the initial training, girls often make betterparachutists than do men. Fullerton mentioned that there were three major misconceptions about thesport which kept people from trying it. First is the notion that the chute won't open. He claims this is nottrue. He says that most of the accidents, of which there are very few, are not caused by equipmentfailure, but by the person doing something wrong. Equipment very seldom fails, partially becausethere is a reserve chute to back up the main one. The second major misconception is that you landhard. Fullerton says for a male of average weight (180 pounds), it is like jumping off a 3-or-4-foot-high table. The third misconception is that the opening shock of the chute is tremendous. Fullertonsaid that with the French invention of the "sleeve" six years ago there is only a slight jerk. Workingclosely with Fuller-ton on the project is senior Dan Turner. Turner is a veteran of the sport, who has been operating a commercial club for the past two years. He has taught scores of parachutists, 90 percent of whom have been college students. He and Fullerton, whohas been in the sport for a year, willstart giving instructions as soon as the weather clears. Theyhope this will be within the next six weeks.They can jump in inclement weather, but they like to have near-perfect conditions for students. Thetraining will be given on Saturdays at Bellingham Airport It involves a five-or six-hour class, followed bythe first jump. For the first five jumps, Money limits Sunday usage Why aren't many of the classroom buildings open for student use on Sundays?- Security reasons and lack of funds form the source of theproblem} said Stuart Litzsinger, director of the physical plant. Litzsinger added that the opening of thescience and music buildings is being considered but that necessary funds cannot be obtained until thebudgeting of the next biennial year. Until that time, the funds available are for emergency use only.Marcelle Cosmetics Prescriptions STAR DRUG REXALL STATE HOLLY Tuesday, March 5, 1968Dickson censures authoritarians By MIKE KOCH managing editor The authoritarian personality hasimmature needs for status. These needs become fulfilled when he assumes a position or gains a rankthat places him in a position of authority over his fellow men. Dr. William Dickson said. The associateprofessor of political science told an j estimated 50 people at a YD meeting last week that a manager is a disorganized authoritarian personality who impedes society's productivity. Because he needsconstant reassurance from his subordinates, the manager views as disloyal any actions which fail tosupport him, Dickson said, and he rewards only loyalty. Contempt for other people is what a managerfeels, because he lias contempt for himself, according to Dickson's abstraction of the authoritarianpersonality. Politicians, especially, have authoritarian personalities, Dickson said. Their constant need for reassurance allows them only superficial love affairs. They don't know what love is. he said. He said politicians endanger the democratic process because they hold people subordinate to them in contempt,and think the democratic process is an anomaly. To protect ourselves against the authoritarianpersonality in society Dickson suggested democratic organization, even though it is a time-consuming,frustrating process. The authoritarian needs to be told what to do and that he has done a good job,Dickson said. Ritualistic behavior makes the authoritarian feel secure in his position. He is rude, he holds up meetings and he pontificates, Dickson said. Authoritarians believe that action solutions will solve any problem, Dickson said, because they think all things are either black or white. "Our educational systemencourages the development of auth-oritarianismi/' Dickson said. Our system is more that way thanmany lie has seen. Dickson said authoritarian politicians sometimes become statesmen after theyhave satisfied all their lower needs. John F. Kennedy and Winston Churchill are two examples, he said. Rocky and Kennedy top Behavioral Science poll the women he tied with Gov. Rockefeller for fourthplace. Five positions on the Vietnam war were included in the poll. Students were asked to pick the one they agreed with. Of the five positions, two were for escalation, one supported our present policy,and two favored withdrawal. Seventy per cent of the men agreed with the hawk policy, as did 64 percent of the women. Six per cent of the men and 10 per cent of the women supported the present policy,while 25 per cent of the men aligned themselves with withdrawal compared to 26 per cent of thewomen. ; Meade, commenting on the poll, stated that no matter what is said about a radicalmovement in this country, he sees little evidence of it here at Western. He believes that the youth oftoday are becoming more conservative. By MIKE GILLESPIE I contributor A poll of 590 studentscontacted by Dr. Robert Meade in the behavioral sciences classes recently indicated male students prefer Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York as their first choice for president, while the female students favor Senator Robert Kennedy, also of New York. The poll also indicated an extreme hawk sentimentwith respect to the Vietnam war. The poll listed eight men mentioned as candidates for thepresidency. They were Nixon, Romney, Rockefeller, McCar-they, Johnson, Reagan, R. Kennedy, andPercy. The students were asked to choose their first through eighth choice. The second choices of themen and women were Robert Kennedy and Governor George Romney of Michigan, respectively.

Members of studentgovernment have been promoting two ideas recently which just don't seem to fit together. One is therhetorical question, "Are you proud to be a student?" The other is the desire to reduce academicrequirements for legislators, this being a constitutional amendment for the spring ballot. Presently,college regulations say that persons carrying seven hours or more may hold membership in any club ororganization. This includes drama, forensics, student publications, music organizations and performinggroups, if the student is receiving academic credit for the activity. The 12-hour rule applies to those notreceiving academic credit for these activities or campaigning for or holding elected or appointed posts.Student government spokesmen say they want the change because a student who pays full tuition feesfor seven or more credits should be fully eligible for all student activities and offices. But this reasoningdoesn't consider all dimensions of the problem. One facet of the question is best stated by "TheNavigator," page 4: Certain standards for participation in student activities have been established by theCollege to insure that the student's first responsibility is to his academic program. Of course', all aspects of a college experience present real opportunities for personal and professional growth, but theacademic side must be given priority. Another point is how insignificant a 7-credit load is Seven credits is two, maybe three, classes, an extremely minor time involvement. Even a 12-hour load, the standard forstudents who are also employed by the college, is rarely considered a burden. This makes us ask, "Who is proud to be a student?" If the legislators who are promoting the academic eligibility are saying this,they'd better find a substitute for the word "student." Either that, or petition changing the tuition rate forpersons carrying less than 12 hours a quarter. That's where a change might be helpful. —JeanneDoering check out Mabel Zoe A letter this week asks why the names of candidates for Westernpresident haven't been announced. Our answer is that we have been requested not to publish thecandidates' names, so as to protect their positions and reputations at home institutions. City newspapers in Seattle and Bellingham have agreed to cooperate on this matter, too, we've been told. It's a hardchoice to make, considering the news value these names have. But it is also hard for us as students tounderstand how being a sitting duck for several weeks might adversely affect a candidate's chances forawards or promotions at his own institution. Their names will be available, though, when their writings goon reserve in the library. And having writings to examine is better than just knowing names.

Some of their suggestions were Vietnam, drugs and the like. I agree with them that you as editor are responsible not only for editorials, but the content in general ofthe WESTERN FRONT. However, I am of the opinion that a school paper, a student paper, should paymore attention to student affairs man j national and international affairs. Some things which I would ,like to see covered in depth are: 1. The role which the Administration allows our elected studentgovernment to take (if any) and its effectiveness in that role. 2. An inquiry into the "tenure" system forfaculty and the effect this has on the quality of my education. (Not the security of a teacher's position). 3. How interested is the Director of Student Affairs in truly serving the students, and how willing is he to represent the students instead of being an administrative pawn£ i 4. Is the Student Union really a student lounge? If so, why no foot rests, no ventilation in coffee shop, etc., and why the constantharassment from the janitor? 10 cents for one scoop of ice cream? 5. Why aren't most of theclassroom buildings open on Sundays for student use (particularly science and I.

Mr. Condon, you made a point about the "forces of reaction"referring to businessmen, military, etc. This seems to be typical language of people who areinterested in some changes in contemporary society. It sounds almost as if you would limit the Bill ofRights to only those who agree with you.

People naturally fear a radical change in their environment, especially if they've adapted toit. Apparently you haven't adapted, don't you have some responsibility to respect people of otheropinions and thus lessen the forces of resistance? You can attempt a complete change or you can offeran alternative which can be accepted a part at a time. Why not tell people that they won'tnecessarily have to change to your exact specifications (precious though they be). There needs to! be respect for people as individuals and if you expect it of the reactionaries then practice it yourself. Anddon't lump people into huge groups thus alienating and ignoring possible help for change. Remember,too, that everyone, (including yourself) has vested interests in something for whatever the reason, andare noti readily rejected on the mere: claim that the whole society is a: mess. What each person valuesi may not have come easily. What I'm saying, then, is to present an explicit and respon- lt; siblesolution (or do you, like that "military beast/' prefer conflict?) and it will more likely be accepted thanjust alienat-ing yourself and throwingstooes. Don't scare people away from any change at all and make a revolution necessary. Terry Schroeder Senior, sociology i Bookstore unethical? Editor: In regard to the letter which appeared in your column concerning the Student Co-op Book Store, I would further liketo add that one may find in said store the "Peace Corps Reader" marked for 25 cents. I question theethical aspects of this, considering the book is printed by the government and distributed free of chargeupon request. This book may also be picked up, again free, in the Student Placement Center. Namewithheld Makes two points Editor: I should like to express a mild protest over two inaccuracies thatappear in the February 20 issue of the Western Front. A news story on page 1 states that "heavyopposition" from the "physics, chemistry, geology and biology departments, failed to sway" theAcademic Council from modifying the COLE recommendation on general education requirements innatural science. Actually, the only expression of opinion from the Biology Department was offered indirect response to a question from the Council. I stated simply that the Biology Department preferredthe plan contained in the COLE report. Perhaps this, in journalese is "heavy opposition," but I did notthink so at the time. I am a little more disturbed by Din Meins' liberal misuse of quotation marks inreporting on page 2 the discussion of Lorenz "On Aggression." I am flattered, of course, that heattributes some of Lorenz' remarks to me, but not pleased to read that I used the term "recor-rection"on a public platform. Actually, I never use mat word — nor do I know anyone except Mr. Meins whodoes. Lorenz simply said that repressing or inhibiting aggression was like , screwing down the lid on aboil-; ing pot, and that the solution lay in recognizing and redirecting aggression into other, saferchannels. Perhaps he had in mind writing letters to editors or directing heavy opposition towardplans under discussion by Academic Council. A. C. Broad Professor of biology CongratulationsEditor: My congratulations on your appointment as editor for spring quarter. I do hope your paperimproves and expands as you say it will, so that someday it may be a credit to the students and thecollege. Christopher B. Condon Junior, biology We haven't been told Editor: Our new collegepresident will be selected by mid- March. It has been vaguely stated that student 'response'to the fivecandidates will be 'considered.' But we aren't allowed to know their names. Some response! Someconsideration! John Servais Senior, history Faculty Forum loses influence By RON LEALOS contributor One of the former most influential organizations on campus, the Faculty Forum, has lost almost allimportance, according to three faculty members. The all-faculty forum was dissolved in 1963 andreplaced by the Faculty Council, a representative body. The council immediately reorganized theforum in an unofficial capacity and named it the Faculty Council Forum. But the new forum differed fromthe old one in that it could only make recommendations to the Faculty Council, Action taken at theformer forum was practically official school policy, according to George Witter, associate professorof mathematics. "The Faculty Forum used to be the most democratic group in the schooL but nowattendance and interest are so low that meetings have lost all their former importance," Witter said. Dr. Robert Lawyer, director of Wilson Library and chairman of the forum, attributes its decline to thechanging nature of the school. "As the school changes, functions and organizations change," he said. Dr. Walter Robinson, chairman of the Faculty Council, noted that with only 16 faculty memberspresent at the last meeting, the group has become inefficient Witter said that until 1959, when Jarrettbecame president of the college, Faculty Forums were attended by 98 to 99 per cent of the faculty. He said the downfall of the organization followed jarrett's failure to recognize the Forum's importance."When President jarrett quit attending meetings, the faculty began to lose confidence in the Forum andattendance dropped sharply," Witter said. "This institution has become so research-oriented that youngmembers become concerned with publishing books and feel their time should be devoted to writing andresearch, not faculty business," he added. Both Lawyer and Witter pointed out that the faculty as a body still has the power to overrule the Faculty Council, since the members of the council are elected bythe faculty and veto action could be initiated in the forum. Lawyer believes "the faculty itself doesnotregard the forum as a working organization or as an instrument of expression." But Witter said, 'Thepower of the forum was apparent at the last meeting, when those in attendance argued over theadministration's new salary policy. Interim President Charles Flora immediately came out with astatement answering all the questions brought out." Witter. Lawyer and Robinson are concernedwith strengthening the forum. The other alternative is to ask: "Is the Forum still a viable organization?"and proceed from there. ---------- Western Front - 1968 March 5 - Page 5 ---------- Student presidential criteria made available to candidates Note: the following article, written by theAssociated Students President and his staff, was mailed to the candidates for Western president. Astudent committee composed of AS officers Dan Fredrickson, Darrell Peterson and Dave Cunninghamwill question the candidates when they visit here. In any educational environment, there are severalthings that one must take into consideration when choosing that one right individual who is to be thehead of that environment. First, each group within that environment wants a person who is going to besympathetic to their goals and ideas as a group. They do not want an individual who has an alreadyestablished prejudice against that group or their ideals. They want someone further, who will provide thebest atmosphere possible in which that group and all groups in the environment can grow, flourish, and learn with a minimum of boundaries and restrictions placed on this process. Finally, they want a manwho is not afraid to seek new ideas, innovations, or to try to improve the environment in every waypossible. These are the basic objectives that all groups, including the students of Western, are lookingfor as we make our search for a new college President. With these general objectives, there areseveral specifics which the students in particular would like to seek. First, with things changing as rapidly as they are in the world, the students would like to have a man who is deeply aware of these changesand their importance. Students themselves are very aware of the world that they will some day beleading, and need a man to lead them who has this awareness, also, students can hardly expect to work best in a environment headed by a man unaware of student goals and aspirations. Second,' the students would like a man who is sensitive to student unrest. Students, being young, want to try to change theworld as quickly as they can. They would like to take over now. This is reflected on college campusesacross our nation. A college President is thus put in a very difficult position. He must both try to keepthe best of the status quo. and yet be sensitive to the fact that what students are saying and doing andwanting is vitally important. If he does not, he loses much of the support which he wants, and certainlyneeds. Third, the students need a man as President who is a strong leader. He must be willing to faceup to the problems on campuses and be willing to take stands and to make decisions which may verywell be unpopular. This is one of the most urgent requirements that we feel our new President must meetThere is no action when an inactive man leads. There is only stagnation, both of action and ideas. We,as students, realize that if change is to come about, it is to be as a result of the leadership of adynamic individual who can shoulder responsibility andbring action about as a result of his leadership.Fourth, the students would like a man to lead who is inspirational. We need a man who is npjt afraid tolead by example. Youth as a whole is very idealistic. Our new President must be as dedicated to histask as the students are to theirs. He must be as enthusiastic as the students are for a better institutionand a better world. He must finally be willing to devote as much hard work to his ideals as the studentsdo to theirs. He must meet the idealism of youth with the responsibility of experience. The students arelooking forward with a great deal of anticipation, and are extremely pleased to be able to help, in theimpending selection. We hope that the above thoughts and ideas on what we would like in our newPresident will be met with thoughtful consideration.

College students are often eligible for the food stamps, since their incomes are usuallybelow the $170 a month maximum with no dependents, or $215 for a family of two. Eligibility for foodstamp privileges is based on a sliding scale. For example, a single person with an income of less thai $19.99 a month pays 50 cents for stamps worth $14 in fooc purchasing power. A person earning $100to $191 a month pays $20 for stamps worth $26. Until September, the first stamp allowance will be athalf price. That is, the person with $19.99 a month income will pay only 25 cents for his first $14 foodstamp package. Mabel visited 600,000 times just last year Ever wonder how much Wilson Library isused? Figures from Circulation Director William H. O. Scott's office show more than 600,000 exitsfrom the library in the fiscal year ending in June, 1967. But figures on library cards tell a different story.Until the changeover to IBM check-out, about half the freshmen didn't apply for library cards, Scottsaid. For example, during the fall of 1963, 60 per cent of the students enrolling were issued librarycards. By the following spring, 16 per cent had still failed to get a card, he said. Scott noted that thepercentage was identical to the 16 per cent college drop-out figure. Scott estimated that students check out an average of one book per course per quarter. This figure can be misleading, he said, becausesome students check out more books than others. He cited the case of a senior who made his first tripto the check-out desk three days before he was graduated. The student had said, "I thought I'd neverhave to use my library card."

Wells, who has visited theUSSR periodically since the 1930s, said popular reaction to the Kremlin's suppression of Western jazzmusic indicates attitudes among youths toward their government. Although jazz was officially banned.Wells was asked repeatedly by students for information and records. Wells once watched a Sovietofficial who confiscated records he tried to take into the country hide them to take home for himself.Because Western records were in short supply, X-ray plates often were used to make records good forabout 150 play-ings. Wells said he saw the makeshift records in nearly every apartment in Russia hevisited. It was not at all unusual to find a picture of somebody's broken shoulder or fractured out thesound of Dave Brubeck. Scorn of the official ban was carried over into the theater, too, whereprofessional musicians openly ridiculed the censorship in front of Party officials. The government finallygave in and eased the ban. Today poetry is the media of dissatisfied Russian youth, Wells said.Readings by a popular poet may draw as many as 50,000 listeners at such places as the MoscowUniversity Pavilion. Wells said Russian students, although taught that man is an economic - politicalcreature, are nearly obsessed with the notion of the irrepressible human spirit. The jailing of two poets for their writings two weeks ago resulted in a student riot, Wells noted. Wells extended his optimismon the future of communism to China, where, he said, youth also refuses to accept the Old Guard visionof the communist Utopia of the future. They want to formulate their own ideas, he said. 25 freshmenhave own version of Education 301 Twenty - five freshmen have already started their preparation forelementary teaching, thanks to a new course sequence planned by Dr. Stewart Van Win-gerden,associate professor of education. Van Wingerden said he devised the course sequence last year, afterfinding that writing recommendations for education seniors | was difficult when professors! didn't knowthem well. By continuous contact with a j student for four years, a professor will follow theirdevelopment better, Van Wingerden believes. , This fall he chose 25 fresh-men gt; who hadindicated an interest in elementary teaching,; as his first group. They meet once a week for one creditper quarter. This will be the equivalent of Education 301 at the end of three quarters. Seminarsconferences, visitations and speakers are included. For example the students have heard from Dr.Bearnice Skeen about Project Head Start, talked with a probation officer, learned about the InitialTeaching Alphabet, and visited class-: rooms of Western graduates, i During Christmas vacation:several visited the public; schools for one to five days, Van Wingerden said. Van Wingerden has threeseniors, Maria Van Leuven, Marga-l ret Van Leuven, and Karen Iko, t who have already taught, asclass1 assistants. They also earn credits. The course sequence spreads t a k i n g professionalclasses throughout all four college1 years, rather than mainly during the junior and senior years.Freshmen will generally take the three 1-credit introduction courses which will cover history, philosophy,sociology, psychology, screening, guidance and orientation.... Sophomores will take Psychology352. As juniors, the students will take a new course in application taught by Van Wingerden. It willcover screening and guidance, general methods, curriculum, applied learning, observation andparticipation. As part of this, the students will spend half-days planning and teaching in schools for fiveweeks. They will also attend professional meetings and have seminars and individual conferences.Counseling Center offers job information service Information about most occupations is available in theOccupational Information Center, now located in Old Main 218.

Ruggers vs T-birds in conference match University of BritishColumbia's Thunderbirds, one of the most proficient Rugby teams in the Northwest, tangle withWestern's Vikings Saturday afternoon at 2:30 on Roosevelt Field. Second to champion University of Oregon in the Intercollegiate Rugby Conference, the Thunderbirds are hoping for a fry field so theirusual strong running game will be most effective. Out to extend a three game win streak on their home field, Western is more accustomed to soggy if not muddy playing conditions, which slow down moreexperienced opponents like U.B.C. Last weekend the Viks were humbled 25-8 by another strongrunning team, the University of Victoria on a dry field in Victoria. The Victoria Vikings took fulladvantage of the field conditions and raced to an 11-0 halftime Do you actually know the score in Rugby games? "I love the game, but what was me score?" A common phrase used by many followers of theWestern Rugby team makes it apparent that some explanation of the scoring system of Rugby begiven to the fans. Following are the various means of scoring points in a 1 Rugby match: Try — worththree points, similar to a touchdown in football, occurs when a player i touches the ball down, with his body (hands, arms, chest or stomach) in the opponent's end zone. Conversion—worth two points, likethe kick after a touchdown, ball must go through the goal post uprights. The kicker muct kick the ballfrom a point parallel to the side line along the same line that the ball was touched down in the endzone.Penalty kick — worth three points, is kicked after any major penalty (offside, obstruction,unsportsmanlike conduct, etc.) if desired.like a field goal. Kicker may kick the ball from the point ofinfraction or any place parallel to the sideline through that point. Drop kick—worth three points,occurs while the ball is in play. The ball is dropped, and kicked as it hits the ground, through the goalposts.

"We'll go all out and try to improve onlast year's record (1 win, 18 losses), and I'm sure we will," Western's newest athletic coach, ConnieHamilton, said of this year's Viking baseball squad. Candidates for the team have been turning out fortwo weeks now, working mainly indoors. "Basically we have been emphasizing weight-training andconditioning, aimed at strengthening the boy's arms and legs," Hamilton said. The team movedoutside last week and played an intra-squad game Saturday, in which Coach Hamilton got anopportunity to The Blue* Barnacles, Western's synchronized swim team, will present an aquatic artdemonstration at 8 p.m. Friday in the pool.

Hamilton said, "I tried to give the younger boys a chance to show themselves and I wasn't too concerned with the returning ballplayers. I was quite satisfied with most of the boys' performances."This year's team will include some changes of personnel and different techniques from last season,Hamilton said. This can be seen in the early start which the new coach has gotten with this year'ssquad. Last year's baseball players didn't begin turnouts until after spring break. "Individuals on the team are doing so well and are so enthusiastic that I am positive of an improved season this year,"Hamilton said. The Vikings open their season March 30 with a double-header against Skagit ValleyJC here. Western's conference schedule starts April 6 with two games with Central here.

Theyare Lawrence LeSage, 20, David Gruenstein, 18, Ren-aldo J. Bigornia, 18 and John P. Larson, 18, all ofTacoma; and Carlos A. Calderon, 19, Burlington. All are Western students living at Nash exceptLarson, who# dropped out of school at me end' of fall quarter. The five were arrested late Wednesday by Bellingham Police * Sgt LaVerne Geleynse, and booked for possession of marijuana. They have been released from jail on their personal recognizance. College officials told police that Campus SecurityOfficer George Steer was called when marijuana smoke was smelled coming from LeSage's room.Steer, admitted to the room by LeSage, found two whole marijuana cigarettes. While waiting for thepolice, college officials found one whole marijuana cigarette and a warm marijuana butt on the groundbelow the room. After police arrived, another whole and one partly-used marijuana cigarette werefound. Dean of Students James Hitch-man said Friday that this was Western's first on-campus arrestfor marijuana violation. Kathy Cornelison, Walter Smith and Bill Barwise play characters who think theworld has wronged them in "Slow Dance on the Killing Ground," to be presented in a four-day run starting Thursday. (Photo by MacDonald) "Killing Ground' to dance in play starting Thursday "Slow Dance onthe Killing Ground" will be performed by the Western Players at 8:15 p.m. Thursday through Sunday in L-l. The cast consists of Walter j . smith as Randall, Bill Bar-wise as Glas, and Kathy cornelison as Rosie. The play, directed by Byron Sigler, takes place on the night of June 1, 1962 in a small candy store inNew York. Randall is an 18-year-old youth with an extraordinarily high I.O. Brought up neglectedly by hisprostitute mother, he has been in and out of jails and reform schools. His concept of the world as a killing ground is related throughout the play. Glas, the reserved but outspoken owner of the candy store, has aslight limp which he says he acquired in a Nazi concentration camp. Rosie is an unwed mother-to-bewho does not want her child and plans to have an abortion. The charcters coincidentally meet in the store and have little in common except for their feelings that the world has wronged them. Dean of StudentsJames Hitchman (Photo by Eagle e.t.) Hitchman answers charge For years the College has upheld thepolicy that students must carry twelve hours and have a 2.00 grade point average in order to hold office or employment. This quarter several students held office and carried less than twelve hours. Over threeweeks ago various advisers and student leaders were presented with the problem. After several verbal and written communications it was clear that the legislature and student body president refused to abide bythe twelve hour rule. The two legislators who carried less than twelve hours did resign, however. TheOffice of the Dean of Students is obligated to carry out rules, policies and procedures adopted by thefaculty, students and administration. In this instance, due to the position taken by the ASB government,there was no choice but to enforce the policy. On the other hand, the proper student, faculty andadministrative groups may consider changes in the policy. However, the present policy should beadhered to while it exists. Student legislators contend that they are treated in an authoritarian manner,when actually the administration has welcomed students as equals on the decision-making bodies of theCollege. —Dean of Students James Hitchman Council modifies COLE science recommendation TheAcademic Council modified in their meeting last Tuesday the Committee on Liberal Education(COLE) recommendation for natural science general education requirements which it had adoptedFeb. 6. For students choosing the option calling for physics and chemistry to be followed by geologyand biology, the council voted to add physical geography as an alternative to geology. Heavy oppositionto the addition, voiced by the physics, chemistry, geology and biology departments, failed tosway the council. Modification of general education physics, chemistry and biology courses to meet the needs of the non-major was urged in a joint statement from the Student Academic Advisory Boardand the General Education Committee The second option of the COLE committee, calling forspecialized science sequences, was modified by adoption of the General Education Committeerecommendation, less a geog- - raphy sequence. Freshmen with a year of high school biology plus oneyear of high school physics or chemistry may take specialized sequences in physics, chemistry,geology or biology. Inside Untenured rights. . 2 Editorial . . . . . . . . 4 Counseling Center. 6 Classifiedads . . . . 7 Rugby 8 Legislature hassles over 2 resignations Associated Students President DanFredrickson said yesterday afternoon that he was vetoing the letter composed Wednesday night bylegislators to send to Interim President Charles Flora, requesting Dean of Students James Hitchman'sresignation. Fredrickson said he was asking legislator Al Donaldson to submit a new bill and letter"severely reprimanding" Hitchman for interfering with the AS Legislature and carrying out their duties.The new bill was to go before the Legislature yesterday afternoon. Fredrickson said he felt there was "agreat deal of difference" between asking for Hitchman's resignation and telling Hitchman the Legislaturedisagreed with his actions. The Legislature had passed during a special five-hour session Wednesdaynight a motion to ask Flora for Hitchman's resignation. The motion came after the Legislature acceptedunanimously the resignations of two legislators, Noel Bourasaw and Drew Pettus, who did not meet the12-hour requirement to sit on the board. The requirement is listed as college policy on page 4 of "TheNavigator" and in Article III, Section 4 of the AS Constitution. Legislator Al Donaldson, who voted for themeasure, explained, "We accepted the resignations because the two were in the wrong. We passed thebill asking for the resignation because it is our right to determine who is going to represent the students." Bourasaw and Pettus had been notified by Hitchman Wednesday that if they did not resign by 5 p.m.that day, the matter would be sent to the college disciplinary board. The Legislature had rejected at itsmeeting last Monday an earlier ultimatum that the two resign by Feb. 20. Hitchman said Friday in aninterview that Monday's statement was the fourth communication concerning ineligibility. He said he hadnotified AS President Dan Fredrickson and speaker of the legislature Dave Cunningham of the ineligibilitythree weeks ago, and asked them to act on it Wednesday night's decision to write Flora was opposed by legislators Steve Cooper, Jon Hatch and Dennis Hindman. Cooper said, "I did not vote for the bill because I do not believe the action of this board was responsible. I feel further that this demanding resolution willdo a great deal to hinder working relationships between the administration and the student legislature."AS Vice-President Darrell Peterson also opposed asking for Hitchman's resignation, although he did notvote on the bill. Peterson said Thursday in an interview, "You should play by the rules until you changethem, and then you should play by the rules again until they are changed again." He attributed theLegislature's hostility toward the Dean of Students to "a bad case of misinformation since the legislativebody as a whole wasn't informed of the situation." In connection with the resignations dispute, theLegislature voted to change requirements for legislators to seven credit hours and a 2.4 grade-pointaverage. Because this is a constitutional change and was not approved unanimously by the Legislature,the change must have two-thirds approval of those voting in the spring quarter elections. Stuck up? No,nothing vein about these blood donors. Bruce Eagle, foreground, was one off 101 donors in theAssociated Students Blood Drive Wednesday. At least two non-students, Jack Carver and Bev Daniels off the Bellingham Herald, also lined up to give blood. AS President Dan Fredrickson termed thedrive—Western's third in two years —a success.

What would you like to have for The Book of the Quarter?Stacks of Records Left (But They're Going Fast) Hurry to the GIGANTIC RECORD SALE WITHSAVINGS UP TO M Student Co-op Mezzanine NO STORE MORE CONVENIENT Hugh Fleetwood,assistant professor of philosophy, added that the rights of faculty members, which are guaranteed bythe faculty handbook, such as the right of dissent, "are empty" if contract renewal is denied because a faculty member has exercised his rights. "The right of dissent has got to be given priority" over thehiring and dismissal procedures of the college, he said. Ellis and Fleetwood agreed that if a facultymember is contributing to the college community in his teaching and research, "we should learn tolive with him, even if we don't like him." Dr. Arthur Hicks, English professor o b s e r v e d mat "I know of no time when an untenured faculty member has not been told why his contract wasn't renewed." Everyfaculty member has the right to ask the faculty council for a hearing if he feels his rights have beenviolated. "I known of no case where this has been denied," he added. By DAN MEINS FRONT staffAggression: cultural pattern or instinct? The final Book of the Quarter panel last Monday argued on bom sides of this crucial point to Konrad Lorenz's "On Aggression." Dr. Howard Harris, associateprofessor of anthropology, said that if there are inherent patterns of aggression in man, they have been so overlapped with cultural patterns that they have become indistinguishable. If culture, a learnedpattern, makes it possible for gentle men to drop an H-bomb or napalm, he said, then culture canprevent it too. Men will have peace when they want peace. Dr. A. Carter Broad, professor of biologyand chairman of the department, differed. Lo-renz, he said, "spends most of the book simplyoverwhelming us with data" that aggression is an instinct in animals and man. Since man is an evolvedanimal, he said, his nature is also evolved. There is even in my- Binyon Optometrists 7 3 3 - 9 3 0 01328 Cornwall COMPLETE OPTOMETRIC SERVICE CONTACT LENSES — FASHION FRAMES Dr.Leroy H. Freeman and Associates self, he added, an aggression that serves a biological function.William H. O. Scott, chairman of the BOQ committee, said that today we have a malfunctioning ofthe aggressive instinct. It is well and good if used in the natural processes of selection, he said, but inman at the moment, it is not behaving correctly. The question is what to do about it. Broad said thatthis is just Lorenz's point. In a scientific way, he tries to understand aggression by observation ratherthan analogy. It is not until the last chapter that he offers a solution. Harris made a plea forconventional morality. In the process of cultural evolution, he said, man developed a moral code:"Thou shalt not kill thy brother with a hand axe." If man can do this, he can develop a moral codeagainst more dangerous weapons. Although culture is a very complex thing, aggression must beinhibited through cultural norms, he said. Broad said that inhibiting aggression through culturalredirection is like "trying to prevent an explosion by tightening the lid." Inhibition is not the answer,he said; it is recorrec-tion. Scott upheld the author's solution to aggression. The concludingparagraph, he said, speaks of love on a broad basis.

Alan Davidson of the Green Berets told a standing-room only audience inthe Viking Union last Tuesday. Davidson spent six months of 1963 in the village of Nuoc Vang in SouthVietnam with the U.S. Army Special Forces. With 11 other men he helped to maintain a "strategichamlet," and train the villagers so theycouldbetter defend their village. Adequate supplies, especiallyLonger smoke hours Hours for the smoke shop in the Viking Union will be extended to evenings on atrial basis for two weeks starting Friday. Extra hours will be 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If the extended hours prove profitable, they will be maintained on a permanent basic through springquarter, Douglas Wasko, director of the Viking Union, said. Flowers? of course! 1426 Cornwall Ave.733-7630 weapons and ammunition, were lacking, Davidson said. Each man of the 12-man force wasgiven one rifle and one pistol. The group had only 50 rounds of pistol ammunition and 75 rounds of rifleammunition. In case of a Viet Cong attack on the village, mis was enough to last "about five minutes,"said Davidson. The group alsohad two World War II trucks, only one of which worked. The suppliesfinally arrived at the village more man a week later. These included more small arms, more than a ton ofdemolition equipment, and 450 gallons of gasoline for the trucks. Davidson said, however, that theammunition was old, and at least "one of every 50 rounds either misfired or didn't fire at all." Davidsonsaid he has seen several peace demonstrations in the United States. At a "peace" demonstration inNew Orleans where he saw the Viet Congbattle flag flown by the Tricontmental Progressive Students, he had re-reflected, "Maybe I am living in a nation that has lost its sanity." Davidson concluded by saying,"All I ask is that you (the American public) understand, support, and protect" the American troops inVietnam. "I am at least one for victory in Vietnam. I only hope that I do not stand alone," he said.HURLEY DRUG MART 1311 Commercial • Prescriptions • Drugs Recruiting Officers from theWashington State Department of Public Assistance will be on campus Wednesday, February 28 tointerview students and graduates interested in building a professional career in social work.

This point was made by Or. JamesNorris, superintendent of the Ferndale school District, who served as the interviewer in a demonstrationsponsored by the Student Washington Education Association (SWEA) here Feb. 15. Norris said aprospective teacher should not create an impression that the interview is only one of many in search of the best job offer. Norris talked with Steve Wii-tala and Eugene Luppold, both Western seniors, in thepublic interview. He asked Wiitala if his academic success might prevent him fromunderstandingstudents who did not achieve well. Read the Although 50 per cent of Fern-dale'sgraduates go on to college, the district also has students from the Lummi Indian reservation who areoften not highly motivated, Norris explained. Luppold, who is also state SWEA president, asked about Ferndale's large turnover of elementary teachers. Norris explained that while Ferndale is able to hirecapable teachers graduated from Western, they often stay only one or two years. This is becausemany are married, and the husband or wife attend college while the other works. Ferndale expects togrow, said Norris. Two large companies, Mobile Oil and Intalco, already provide two-thirds of thedistrict's economic base, and a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway has purchased land for an industrial complex which would provide up to 5,000 new jobs.

"I'm sorry, sir, but i/'s marked 33 cents and thatisivhatyou should be charged," the clerk said. "Scoundrel" barked the enraged Horace. " / shall see themanager about your job!" Strange . . . the same thing happened in the Associated Students Legislaturelast week. But instead of the price of hamburger, the dispute was the college rule about full-timestudents participating in school activities. If the price for participation is unreasonable, then it shouldbe challenged in a mature fashion. But the Legislature's actions Wednesday in asking for Hitch-man'sresignation were childish. Legislators called their move "dramatic," but a temper tantrum is dramatic,too. And what does it accomplish? Consider these points: 1. Why did the two legislators remain on theboard when they knew they were violating college regulations? 2. Why didn't the speaker of theLegislature act when the ineligibility was brought to his attention three weeks ago? 3. Was there analternative for the Dean of Students when the Legislature stalled in handling this? 4. What is unfair about this part of the AS Constitution (Article I, Section 4, part d): "All Representatives must maintain thecollege's academic minimum standard grade point and be enrolled for a minimum of 12 credit hours eachquarter while in office"? ^Jeanne Doering don't shoot yet Many people are dissatisfied with the firstKlipsun Quarterly, and ,that includes the Klipsun staff, who are being blamed for work that isn't all theirs. Larry Adams, Klipsun photographer, said more than half the material for the magazine had been sent tothe printer by Jim Foltz before Foltz resigned as editor last month. Adams said no one else on staffknew what the layout looked like or if copy accompanied the pictures. Foltz also chose the photographs. The result: many examples of fuzzy pictures, pages without explanatory material or cutlines, and badgrammar in several write-ups. But don't shoot yet. The Klipsun staff are working on the winter edition,and say they will have it out within two days after spring vacation. Then they'll accept credit for theproduct, but not this time. Then we'll see if a magazine format can be successful. —J.D. Campus newsbriefs Merciful Mabel results Wilson Library Forgiveness Week resulted in redemption of 31 missingbooks and pardon of 689 fines, William H. 0. Scott, circulation director, reported last week. Finerevenue would have been about $350, had fines been charged^ Scott said. This is approximately equal to the value _of "missing" books returned during Forgiveness Week, he said. Eighteen of these bookshad been out since before the IBM checking system was installed. The other 13 were borrowed prior towinter quarter. A "Forgiveness Week" had not been held at the library in eight years, Scott said. Another grace project is improbable during "this student generation," he said. Pol. science meeting Politicalscience majors, minors and other interested students can meet with department faculty misafternoon in L-3 from 3 to 4:30 to talk about their professional opportunities. Dr. Manfred Vernon, political science department chairman, said the department has about 230 majors. Many of these haveindicated an interest in working in government, law or business. Several plan to do advanced work inpolitical science. Some former undergraduate majors are now working at Western toward a master'sdegree in political science. About 12 applicants will be accepted for the master's program this fall,Vernon said.

Slave auction Friday Slave labor may be purchased Friday in the VU foyer for 25cents a half hour. Masters may request a slave, either male or female, to iron, mend, shine shoes, mopand wax floors, type, tutor, wash cars, wash wmdowc and mirrors, sweep and dust, empty wastebaskets, run errands and so on. Work must be done by the slaves on slave day, Saturday, from 1 to5 p.m. Dorms will be open for this period. The master is responsible for telling his slaves where andwhen he wants the work done and for furnishing supplies. Any students wishing to sign up as slavesmay do so at any dorm desk before Friday. Slave day is sponsored by the freshman class. Politicalpersonality talk "The Authoritarian Personality in Politics" will be Dr. William Dickson's topic whenhe speaks at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in VU208. Dickson, an associate professor of political science,came to Western last fall from Alaska where he was the state's director of economic development.Anyone interested is welcome to attend, Richard Apple, YD president, said. The YDs are sponsoring the talk. Parking cooperation James Hildebrand, chairman of the parking committee, said last Wednesdaythat his committee will cooperate with the student body in seekingsolutions to. campus parkingproblems. In response to legislative demands for changes in parking procedures, Hildebrand said thatthe students have a voice in the committee through their two student representatives, Terry Norr andDarrell Peterson. He added that he would like to work with the. legislature and the two representatives to alleviate student parking problems. YD resolution passed Young Democrats of Washington passed a resolution calling for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam in their state convention, Feb.10 to 12. "It was a hard-fought battle" to pass the Vietnam resolution, Richard Apple, Western's YDpresident, said. Hie resolution called for an immediate and unconditional cessation of the bombing ofNorth Vietnam. Recognition and negotiation with the National Liberation Front by the U.S. andSouth Vietnam was part of the resolution. U.S. involvement in Vietnam "has revealed majorincompatibilities between our foreign and domestic commitments, has strained our politicalinstitutions, and has damaged our reputation in the world," the resolution said.

Art exhibit needs help Editor: Recently, agraphic arts exhibit and contest was held in the VU lounge. Or, perhaps I should say that according to a sign in the art building, this exhibit and contest was held. However, on the day on which this exhibit was to open, only about ten entries were displayed, with no explanation announcing the contest, forwhich $150 in prize money was to be awarded. On the day on which the judging was to take place(but didn't), there were still only a few of the entries displayed. On the day after the non-judging, entrieshad fallen down, were hanging crooked on the walls, or were not displayed at all. The people who hadhad entries fall down were not notified about this. Instead, their works were stuck away somewhere,with apparently no one planning on fixing them so that they could be displayed if and when the judgingtook place. Those entries which were displayed were scattered throughout the lounge, offering nocontinuity to an already grossly disorganized presentation. After having inquired about this generalchaos, I learned that no one had heard from the person "in charge," and, therefore, knew nothing about it, since they were "not on that committee." I think that those members of the ActivitiesCommission (which I was told, was sponsoring mis exhibit), should have taken some responsibilityfor the negligence of their fellow member... I hope that future school-sponsored exhibits, especiallythose presenting works done by students, are presented in a manner showing more respect for theentrants, their entries, and those who view them. Linda Milligan Junior, art For the record Editor: Justfor the record, Drew Pettus and I resigned from the student legislature at 5 p.m. last Wednesdaybecause we felt we were violating the student constitution. We feel this constitution is binding over theinstitutional regulation. We did, however, face disciplinary proceedings for breaking the institutionalregulation. We are alive and well in Argentina. Shower Power lives. Noel Bourasaw Junib^ sociologyet al Wants Vietnam debate Editor: Over the last two years WWSC Students for Peace in Vietnamhave been trying to encourage discussion and debate on America's role in Vietnam. As a participant, I would like to comment on one major difficulty our group has encountered in this effort. First, the lackof an organized, articulate, and local opposition. While many speakers are available to oppose thiswar, few will stand up and be counted as supporters. In many of the programs our group hassponsored^ sincere attempt has been made to obtain speakers willing to take issue with our anti-warstance. And yet our programs still leave many with the impression of "hard-sell" techniques becausefew will publicly take issue with the speakers we have presented. As one college student interested inspeaking with those supporters of the war who do live in the real world, I challenge those for this war todebate and discuss their reasons for doing so. Students for Peace will be glad to arrange meetings forthose wishing to defend American involvement in Vietnam — when and if they are bold enough toemerge from the woodwork and administrative slough. Write Students for Peace, cyo Viking Union,stating your stance and when you would be willing to defend it.

Editor: The meritsand demerits of the ROTC military science program at Western have been discussed and debatedmany times. I do not wish to discuss this point any further; however I will admit my disappointment tosee a military organization occupy space and building at WWSC. The issue that I wish to raise is: Ifthe ROTC program is for "men" students at Western, then WHY do the women students at Westernhave a voice or the right to a voice in the decision as to whether or not there should be a ROTC programestablished. I can perhaps understand female representation if the ROTC program is also going to beavailable for women students... so that they too can march around the campus in uniform and preparethemselves for a military career. But if the structure of the ROTC is to be for males only then I believethat only male voice ought to be tallied in the opinion survey. I suggest that the male students atWWSC take another look at their decision to have an Officer Training program at Western. And whetheror not this decision should include female representation. Jay Werlius Senior, economics Needparking lots Editor: I would like to draw attention to the definite need for more parking lots. LastThursday morning (Feb. 15) at 2 a.m. someone banged on my door to inform me my car (parked byGamma) had been hit, knocked off the cliff, and rolled down the hill until it hit a tree. Enough peopleheard it but unfortunately no one saw it happen, and the other car screeched off unseen. I did not buya campus parking sticker since everyone tells me there is less room in the school parking lots than onthe streets. We are not in the middle of a big cement city; I can see plenty of space that could be turned into parking lots. Two choral concerts set Two choral concerts, both directed by Dr. Robert Scan-drett, will be presented this week.

Free for the public, the program is expected to attract philosophers from schoolsthroughout tiie Northwest, Montague said. Professor Terence Penelhum from the University of Calgary will speak on "Pleasure and its Objects" Saturday at 3 p.m. Professor Stanley Munsat from theUniversity of California at Irvine will present "A Look at Some Faculties" Saturday at 8 p.m. ProfessorWilliam Alston of the University of Michigan will present "Privileged Access Without Tears" Sunday at 10 a.m. Professor Zeno Vendler of the University of Calgary will discuss * 'Cognitive States" Sunday at1:30 p.m. BUT PAPA, WE CAN GET FRESHER MILK FOR LESS AT ENNEN'S THRIFTWAY!"ENNEN'S THRIFTWAY HIGH AND HOLLY "WHERE EVERY CUSTOMER IS IMPORTANT" John Q.walks into the Student Counseling Center in old Main 252. *'I don't know what I'm doing here because Idon't know what my problem i s ," he says. But that's enough, according to Dr. Frank Nugent, director of the center. "If a student even feels a problem, this is the place," he says. For John Q. or Mary Z., whomay be concerned about themselves, their school work, their vocation, the Counseling Center is aplace to go for free, confidential counseling. No information about the counseling is released to anyone without the student's written consent, and counseling is entirely voluntary. A student who needs help in resolving his problems may have learned of the center through his dorm, the faculty or anotherstudent. Procedure is simple. The first person the student will see upon entering the Counseling Centerisafriendlyreceptionist, Mrs. Molly Hohl.

An appointment is made with one of the eight part-time clinical and counselingpsychologists on the staff. This might be for the same day or a few days later. A student may have towait a week or two, sometimes, says Nugent, but those who have waited a while before coming to the center are patient enough to wait a little longer. However, those who don't want to wait to see acounselor can be accommodated right away Nugent says. Just off the reception area is a cozy waitingroom where a pot of coffee is always kept hot. Counseling interviews are usually scheduled on an hourly basis. The counselor seeks to help clarify the problem and arrange a plan of action. This plan mayinvolve counseling oriented toward vocational, education, social, marital or personal problems. It mayinclude aptitude, interest, achievement or personality test, for which the center has its'own tester. It may involve helping the student arrange for an appro^ priate source of help. A counselor usually works with a student for four to five weeks, says Nugent, though this may vary from one to ten weeks. Whena student wants longer or more frequent sessions than those offered by the college he may be referredto the Whatcom Mental Health Clinic which has a nominal charge for services. College services are free. Students also have the option of group counseling, where they can interact with students with similarproblems. Grades, probation, or difficulty in relating to a group might be discussed at these sessions. Students who seek counseling on drug problems will not have their names or any other informationgiven out to any organization including the college unless the student requests it, says Nugent. "Theadministration supports us on this," says Nugent. "As professional psychologists we must maintain anethical code." The center also maintains a collection of occupational information materials whichmaybe used without appointment when the occupational reading room is open.

Students must present their I.D. cards with the proper validation sticker. Anybody in line prior to closure of the polls will be allowed to vote, Gary Fredrickson, electionsboard chairman said. Constitution voting moved to May 15 The special election for a p p r o v a l of thenew constitutional by-laws was r e - s c h e d u l e d from last Wednesday to May 15 in order to givepeople a chance to read them and decide how to vote. Open forums will be held during the week of April28 to May 2 in the VU Lounge to enable students to be informed, AS President Noel Bourasaw said.The new constitution will decentralize student government and will define the structure more clearly sothat agencies will have greater autonomy while acting in the governmental framework, Bourasaw said.Hopefully, it will integrate student activities into the government. For example, the executive cabinet willinclude Inter-Club Council. Clubs will be given money if they want it, but they will be required to turn intheir revenue, he added. Clubs who want to exist without support (such as literature clubs, etc.) can doso as well. The new constitution will also cover general policy, executive cabinet, and the all-studentjudicial board. AMS to elect 4 officers tomorrow The Associated Men Students (AMS) are looking forfour new officers to program social events and provide services for the college and community for nextyear. The four available offices are AMS president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Elections for the AMS offices will be tomorrow on the same ballot as the AS offices. Men may be nominated bysigning up for the AMS offices by 5 p.m. today at the VU desk. Interested men should submit a brief (not more than one typewritten page) letter to the VU desk explaining their qualifications and why they areseeking an AMS office. All AMS candidates should attend the AMS meeting tomorrow in VU 10 (thecurrent affairs briefing center, across from the barber shop).

See page 5 forstory. -photo by knight Doctorate bill to pass soon—Atwood JIM AUSTIN copy editor Sen. R. FrankAtwood (R-Whatcom) predicted last Wednesday that the state senate would soon accept the houseamendments to a bill giving Western the power to grant the doctor of philosophy degree in education."It's on the calendar and I will move that the senate accept the amendments," Atwood said in atelephone conversation. The bill was introduced by Atwood and passed by the senate. It was passed bythe house Friday, April 11, after two amendments were added by the house higher educationcommittee. Rep. Cas Farr (R-Whatcom) amended the bill to delay the effective date until July 1,1971.Farr also specified that a proposed Council on Higher Education would have to approve the programbefore it could be started. R e p . Fred Veroske (R-Whatcom) amended Farr's amendment to read thatthe council would have to "review and recommend" approval of the program. 'The bill creating the council gives it no power to approve anything," Veroske said in his argument. If the Higher Education Councilis not approved during this legislative session, that SIO to compile guide portion of the amendmentwould not have effect on the bill as a whole, Atwood indicated. The house vote on Atwood's bill asamended was 65 to 28. The bill was opposed by only 2 democrats, while 26 Republicans opposed it."We are picking the third university when we pass this bill," Rep. Alan Bluechel (R-Kirkland) said inopposition. "We are looking at a cost of $200 million." Rep. Frank Brouillet (D-Puyallup) called the figure "a red herring." Brouillet noted that the University of Washington budget for the 1969-71 biennium isless than $150 million. "I don't know where he (Bluechel) gets his figures," the Democrat said. Dr.Charles J. Flora, college president, said he was not concerned about the July 1, 1971 beginning date."We couldn't implement the program before then if we began planning immediately," the president saidlast Wednesday. Flora said he sees no stumbling blocks to prevent approval of the bill. "We will notsacrifice one segment of the undergraduate program." The doctorate program will be totally self-supporting, Flora said. "Funds will not be diverted from other programs for the doctorate programs." The Student Information Office will be compiling a pamphlet to be distributed at the end of Spring quarter foruse this summer as well as next year. The pamphlet will contain lists of AS officers, deans, and otherschool officials and their offices and hours. This will enable students to locate people quickly. This guide will also serve as a. reference by which students will know who to see about specific campus problems. It will be especially useful to freshmen and transfer students. Between 20,000 and 30,000 copies willbe printed and available to students at no charge. Pedestrian campus to be created next Fall If all goes well, Western will have one less campus thoroughfare by the beginning of Fall quarter. Constructionbegins in August for the proposed High Street by-pass which, when completed, will divert traffic to thewest of the main campus along Garden Street. High Street will be blocked off to all but emergencyvehicles from the Edens Hall driveway to the south end of the Auditorium-Music building, according toHarold A. Goltz, campus planner. The High Street closure will provide room for the future west-endexpansion of Wilson Library. The by-pass project includes construction of a new route off High Streetabove the Music building connecting with Garden Street near Garden Terrace. Goltz said that if currentplans are not interrupted by weather and legalities, the $300,000 by-pass route could be ready for use by Oct. 1. In addition, Garden Street, from Oak through Cedar Streets, would be widened to accommodate the additional traffic. "We are shooting for a completely closed campus in the future," Goltz said. "Itwill be possible to walk from one end of the campus to another without ever crossing an active street."Parking, which is another concern for the College planning office, will be shifted to the perimeters of thecampus. "Improved parking space will be at" a premium when nearly 8,000 students scramble forparking stalls next Fall," Goltz said. Stan Shockey is just one of the many people who have been busyputting out campaign materials the past week. _p a o to by finley ---------- Western Front - 1969 April 22 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, April 22, 1969 Speech clinic educates students, helps community JILLSTEPHENSON staff reporter "Speech is man's most distinctive behavior, and that makes speech andlanguage p a t h o l o g y the most challenging," Dr. Erhart Schinske, co-director of Western's speechclinic, said.

Josephy, Jr., an authority on the struggles of the American Indian, will attend the Indian Youth Conference at Western. The conference will be held from Wednesday, April 30 to Friday, May 2. Josephy was appointed by President Richard M. Nixonrecently to investigate Indian affairs and report to the President. In February, the historian presented areport to Nixon in which he recommended that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) be abolished and Indianaffairs be placed directly under the Chief Executive. The BIA, a division of the Department of the Interior, currently has sole authority over the Indians. Josephy, although not Indian himself, has long beensympathetic toward the Indians' cause and has written several books about the subject. As editor of theAmerican Heritage Publishing Co., he wrote the American Heritage Book of American Indians. He alsowrote The Definitive History of the Nez Perce. His latest book is The Patriot Chiefs: A Chronicle ofAmerican Indian Resistance, which was published by Viking Press in 1962 and re-issued in paperbackby Viking last year. Josephy will participate in a panel discussion of that book at 7 p.m. April 30 in theVU lounge. Joining him will be Randy Lewis, Fairhaven freshman and chairman of Western's IndianStudent Union; Vine Deloria, Jr., organizer of the National Indian Youth Council and other nationalorganizations; and Kahn-Tineta Horn, a young Mohawk leader from Eastern Canada. The author of theBook of the Quarter will also discuss his report to the President recommending the abolition of the BIAat 2 pjn. May 1 in the VU Lounge. He will lead a discussion afterwards.

T h i s in part occurs because demonstrations andviolence make more interesting newspaper copy than does a discussion of the causes of suchdemonstrations. Also, it seems that those who are demonstrating have decided that people are nolonger interested in engaging in a dialogue on today's social problems. For that reason they have takenmore drastic measures in order to foment change. T h e r e are some unfortunate consequences created by violent campaigning for what very well might be good causes. The recent occurrences of violence oncampuses throughout the country has served to polarize the citizenry to an extent where neither side willlisten to what the other has to say. This is not a healthy situation in a democracy because thegovernment cannot disregard the wishes of the people for long as it can in a dictatorship. If the peopleleave no room for compromise, then the government cannot do it for them, for fear that it will lose all itssupport and collapse. Thus, the situation obtains where the governmental bureaucracy is forced tosupport one segment of the population over another. A look at recent federal legislation regardingcolleges and universities provides step outside Ed. note: The Hartwell editorial was originally scheduledto be run in conjunction with an editorial expressing the opposite point of view. This was done in an effortto present both sides of a single issue, letting the reader decide the merit of the arguments for himself. At the time the Front went to press, the other editorial had not been received. The militant protests bystudents over the past years must, if they are to be understood, be brought into perspective with theconditions and contradictions of American society and its relation to a world in revolution. First, onemust accept that dissent and rebellion by the people against the policies and institutions of theirgovernment, when that government ceases to be responsive to the needs and will of the people, are rights established at this nation's inception. Anyone denying that, denies the revolutionary struggle by aminority of citizens ending British rule in the American colonies. If one agrees that protest and dissentare justifiable under certain circumstances, the question then is what are students p rotes-ting? Todaywe are no longer colonized; instead we are colonizers, of a subtler variety than the old. US corporationsown or control much of t h e wealth and resources of underdeveloped (Third World) nations, and while US capitalists are lining their pockets, the poor of Latin America, Asia, and Africa sink deeper into despairand poverty. The government labels these actions as "Foreign Aid" (Imperialism is a more realistic title).In order to keep its investments secure, the US aligns itself with dictators and tyrants—the Batistas,Chiang-Kai-Sheks and, Kys of the world—and terms this alliance a an insight into which way thebureaucracy will go if it is forced to make a choice. It won't be for those who are demanding change, atleast those desiring positive change. Another factor that the militant left has overlooked is that violenceis the original weapon of the right. They are much more skilled in its use than the left could ever be,indeed wish to be. This was evidenced by the recent incident over the Vietcong flag, an incident causedby the actions of right-wing students. Using violence to promote progressive ideas only insures thatthose ideas will not be implemented. The conservatives in Congress have used the actions of a fewmilitant leftists to condemn many if not all of the liberal and progressive measures brought before them.There is a solution to the problem with which the left is now confronted. It does not mean sacrificingideals but it does entail a change in tactics. Violence should be supplanted by logical argumentation,presented in such a manner as to sway public opinion in favor of the cause rather than against it. Thethreat of, and potential for, violence necessarily must be maintained. The population must not be allowedto become complacent, their natural condition. There is a great deal of difference between having thepotential for violence and exercising that potential. People are much more likely to compromise in orderto prevent violence than they are to offer appeasement to those already engaging in violent action. JerryField a minute defense of the "free world" against the "communists." Sometimes the populations ofthese countries threaten to dislodge the dictatorships and establish their own governments, so the USsends in a c o n s c r i p t e d army to fight the "communists," which in turn makes more money for thecorporate bosses. Back in Washington the neanderthals spend billions for bombs, ignore a bill for ratcontrol in the cities, hedge on poverty, turn their backs on squalor and alienation in the ghettoes. Thenthey draft Black men, who do not have the means or background necessary for admittance to college, to fight against Asian brothers caught under the same boot of oppression as they. And what is the role ofcolleges and universities in the scheme of things? More and more students are coming to realize thatthey also are an exploited class, forced to • ingest an irrelevant curriculum fragmented in nature andlargely unrelated to a real world with real problems. Instead of progressive education, students receive areactionary training which serves the interests of the status quo and separates them from anunderstanding of the ideological and revolutionary struggles in today's world. Many students and youthare taking a stand on the side of the revolutionary societies and are demanding that universitycooperation with imperialist corporations, military training, and warfare research be ended. Soon manymore students may learn to struggle with the other revolutionaries of the world to defeat the system thatmakes us all unfree.

M13cornwal ---------- Western Front - 1969 April 22 - Page 5 ---------- Social existentialism growing Tuesday, April 22, 1969 Western Front NM. KNIGHT contributor In thisthird essay, I wish to summarize a timeless but modern and growing movement of which so many arenow a part: social existentialism. It is existential in that it is an effort of individuals to break free from anoppressive social machine, and be unto themselves clean. It is social in that being clean entails thefriendship of a unified effort. Because the movement is in the confused struggling stages of growingawareness I wish only to clarify certain basic points. The positive drop-out: the logic and need of socialchange is always evident; the tools have for some time been present. We do not need new materialwealth in its ever changing designs nor do we need new governments. What is needed is a new level ofawareness; an ability of individuals to see. The logic and need for reform, as cited in my last twoarticles, is obvious; I argue not the means. Change of this nature, however, occurs slowly and timecannot longer be sacrificed at the expense of myoptic stupidity. Aside from the disillusioned andconfused, negating the ills of our time, there is the positive movement of people who see disaster on one hand and reality on the other. What is real becomes a way of life and a refusal to be fettered by menwho don't understand. It no longer takes the shape of argument but turns to confront the situationdirectly. The positive drop-out is any person who accepts the 10 or 12 concepts seemingly mostcivilizations have adopted to survive socially. (I.e., within the basic social unit stealing, lieing, murder,etc. are unacceptable least the social structure deteriorate.) He has turned, with some faith, to his ownhonest creativity. (Plato, Hidigar, Nietzsche, Sartre, Van Gogh, Tchaikosky, Maudrian and Zorba weresome.) If each man could but give himself up to the love of life as thy, any society would be more. Theneeds and complexities of human involvement have held us tragically bonded. This is no longer so.People are breaking free from the bondage of an archaic system. The struggle of the SDS, Blacks andWhites is an expression of this desire. It is a strong effort, and a guts recognition to fallacy andrejection. But men are also turning to themselves to work in peace. Communal efforts are an extensionof some to work together for this. The effort, when used as a tool, becomes a defense creating what itwill: wars, nations, unions, and cliques. The effort, as an expression of the self and a desire to create,comes freely. So accept government at best, as an expediency for an ever more complex social system, and set yourself free from its bondage as one who sleepwalks amidst a maze not challenging thepattern but intent upon gaining the dreamed exit. So say Yai to life and let nothing stand between you in your search for it: give yourself up to the Love of it and fear not that you will forget your fellow man andthe environment in which you live. ' ' T o g e t h e r we will overcome." McDonald succeeds HitchmanActing Dean of Students C. W. McDonald. —photo by finley Dean of Men Clyde W. (Bill) McDonald has been appointed interim dean of students beginning Sept. 1, 1969, President Charles J. Floraannounced last week. McDonald succeeds Dr. James H. Hitchman, dean of students, whose resignation becomes effective in September. Afwood asks for bill change Senate Bill No. 488, if approved, willamend Western's a p p r o p r i a t i o n under Referendum 19, Dr. Charles J. Flora, college president,said in an interview last Wednesday. Referendum 19 was approved by the voters in the general electionlast November and provided Western $5,848,500 for construction, equipping and repair of campusfacilities. The referendum provided for $1,650,000 for "construction and equipment" of a newadministration building. At the request of the college administration, Sen. R. Frank A t w o o d (R-Whatcom) introduced a bill authorizing the college to use the money to build a classroom buildinginstead of the administration building. The bill passed the senate and has been approved by the houseappropriations committee. It is still before the house for consideration. Michael Barnhart, assistant tothe president, said that the rennovation of Old Main will take "at least two or three years. "A newclassroom building can be built and be in use by that time," he said. The money appropriated by thereferendum in November will not be increased, Flora said. "We are just asking for permission to build aclassroom rather than an administration building." It is more desirable to build a classroom buildingrather than an administration building, the president said. "The central function of the college must beconsidered," Flora said. "That central function is academic." Replacing McDonald as acting dean ofmen will be Ray S. Romine, a doctoral candidate at the University of Oregon (UO). Romine was actingdirector of housing at Western from 1966 to 1968. He was also assistant director of student activitiesand director of residence hall programs before leaving to study at the UO. McDonald has been dean ofmen for 20 years. He was also basketball coach from 1946 to 1955. In April, 1949, he was namedassistant professor of men's physical education.

BERNARD SHAW JOHN WARP ft* A.*.VICE REPENT 1328 Cornwall 733-9300 ---------- Western Front - 1969 April 22 - Page 6 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, April 22, 1969 If elected AS president tomorrow, I propose to do two very basicthings: First, I'd like to see some organizational changes made in the structure of our studentgovernment. Second, I want very much to see this school embark upon an active course of CommunityInvolvement. As I've become familiar with what passes for a government at Western I've been impressedby the vast number of committees and organizations that appear to be doing good work on behalf of allstudents. In reality several of the most important are only fighting to remain above a bureaucraticquagmire. It is incredible to imagine that, although the Activities Commission handles nearly one-third ofour budget, there is not even a simple director to list services and facilities available to aid it. * If the ACcan't function in its own best interests, how is it supposed to serve the clubs, dorms, and individualstudents' needs? An Inter-Club and Inter-Hall Council apparatus exist, but mostly in the minds of a fewdedicated people. Agencies of student government and, more important, individual students find it nearlyimpossible to make sense of this mess. A new Constitution and re-organization are pending, but without a sensible administrator to use them they may be valueless. In an editorial last Thursday, the BellinghamHerald cited Western as an "Untapped Resource on the Hill" and suggested the possibilities of gettingStudents and Community closer together. The local Chamber of Commerce assures me that worthwhilecommunity involvement projects are sought from this college. Help, counsel, and financial aid areavailable. This points up one of the tragedies of student-level politics. Too often they are the politics ofrepudiation. That is, the continuing work of one student administration is neglected to provide energy forpet projects. We can continue our growth in student strength only if we justify securing our rightsrealistically. Doing both the work that will give us a larger voice in shaping our own education and themundane, not-too-attractive task of running student affairs with all students' interests in mind. I want toemphasize a policy I think we should adopt. Recruiting the best men and women to fill Cabinet posts. Ifelected, I intend to accept written applications and conduct personal interviews with everyone who wantsto help administer the AS from a cabinet-level position. This should mitigate the idea that an AS president and his appointees are not concerned with the entire student body. I have not offered any of mycampaign workers posts in the Cabinet. Nor, may I add, have they asked me to guarantee them anytangible reward. This is a bond of mutual trust of which I shall always be proud. It is my hope the voterswill weigh all the issues. Some are real, some false, a few utterly absurd. Student Government owes usall more than an appearance of accomplishment without real and continuing prosecution of the businesswe all entered upon enrollment. That business is to produce citizens with a mature, responsibleunderstanding of the large lives awaiting us beyond this campus. I solicit your support at the polls, and inthe months to come. I d o a n My aims are humanitarian and the premise for my thinking is humanwell-being. I hope to promote the art of life. Students will have to become today's problem solvers ifhuman problems are going to be solved. The moment we stand still we begin to decay. I have beenworking with students for two years under both Presidents Dan Fredrickson and Noel Bourasaw. Iinitiated the student on the Board of Trustees idea. I was instrumental in establishing significantrepresentation for students on the soon-to-be-effected Academic Senate. I have established a precedentin student-initiated courses. Action for Conservation Club, which I have led, has developed strongcommunity relations. We have brought to the forefront the tremendous environmental problems that arefacing us. In doing so we have created excellent community relations. I have established favorablerelations with Governor Evans, senators and representatives. We can effectively lobby for the 18-year-oldvote, 18-year-old responsibility law, scholarships, environmental controls, etc. Humans have a naturalaversion to involuntary toil, and a natural ambition to excel in self-assigned tasks. The pass-fail system isnot broad enough and must now be extended to all general education classes. We have unwittinglycreated a "conditioned-response" education system where students are motivated by fear of failure. Littleis more de-humanizing. I will work to establish a liberal arts degree free of restrictions such as major-minor requirements. We cannot only use the Course Critique in determining which classes are bestsuited for us as individuals, we can also use it to represent student voice on faculty retention, promotion,and tenure. Student responsibility is at a point where we can dispense with the "orphanage complex" wehave here. If dorm students want visitors in their room, they would be free to make this decision forthemselves. We can research and organize our feelings on open dorms, then implement them. We canestablish a pub on campus resulting in more convenience and ease for students and faculty wishing abeer. We can obtain a license as liquor laws are not prohibiting. The revenue from a pub would beoutstanding and could possibly finance or help finance the Book Store addition, thus resulting in loweredbook costs. We have a serious population and environment problem. We must accelerate our educationand action in solving these problems. Humanity stands on the brink of disaster if this is not done.Students will have to accept the responsibility of being human problem solvers if human problems aregoing to be solved. I can and will work to these ends. In closing I would like to ask for your support andquote from Ecclesiates 9:4: "For to him that is joined to all the living, there is hope."

Come work with me.—Greg Baker Vice-Pres. candidate Many students have asked about the role of the AS vice-president.The question is important. Next year's vice-president will be (under the proposed new constitution), thespeaker of the legislature in addition to his existing responsibility to assume the duties of the president in the latter's absence (which is a frequent occurrence). It is essential, therefore, that Western's s t u d e n t s consider carefully the qualifications of candidates for this office. During the six quarters that I havebeen at Western, I have come to know the college well. Following my graduation in June of 1970, I planto continue on into Western's graduate program. My experience in student affairs has been wide andvaried (detailed in the voter's pamphlet), and from this I have learned the importance of thorough research and dialogue before acting. In this way I have innovated several necessary student agencies (e.g., Inter-Club Council, Fiscal Management Committee and the Constitutional Revision Committee). Some of myfuture goals are: Academic Senate: It's started; let's carry it through. Tenure: Faculty tenure is anoutmoded concept; we need more student participation and dialogue on new concepts. Pass-Fail:Pass-fail for general ed. and more emphasis on non-Western cultures. A freshman orientation course(pass-fail) to enable incoming students to "discover" the college and to analyze its relevance to their lifeplans before they begin. On-campus: Having lived in dorms myself, I'm convinced that better liaisonbetween the AS activities and the dorms would benefit both. Inter-Hall Council provides exemplaryrepresentation for the halls and must continue its autonomy in social activities. Free inter-dorm mailservice. Meal tickets to be sold according to meals actually eaten. Off-campus: Expansion of theexisting Tenant's Union into a Housing Commission with the power to buy, lease and sell properties tobe used for student housing (owned, managed and rented to students).

Oyen's Oyster WALLYOYEN contributor Since the appearance in this column, last week, of my review of Paul Goodman'sCompulsory Miseducation, I have had people comment on what they felt to be either the flaws in or thevalidity of Goodman's ideas. The interest generated by that column prompts me to review for this issue an important book by Robert Theobald, An Alternative Future for America. Since the scope of his proposal is quite broad, it would seem necessary, within the limitation of space imposed on me, to concentrate onhis discussion of the American educational system. Theobald, like Goodman, is concerned with thosethings which make it possible for an individual to come to terms with our rapidly changing society. Thelogical extension of this of course is that it is necessary for this individual societal acclimatization to takeplace before the society can find its true role in a rapidly changing world environment. Theobald sees theCybernetic Revolution (which has been both quiet and all pervasive) as the root source of this change.Cybernetics is defined as the science of communication and control. It implies the assumption of humanduties and employment by machinery of varying complexity (i.e. technology). It is Mr. Theobald'scontention that as our technology makes America an ever greater power in the world community, ourindividual citizens have less and less control over their own lives, that it is this feeling of powerlessnesswhich is the cause of the violence and chaotic disruption the United States is now experiencing. Heimplies that our entire educational structure must take a new direction if it to successfully cope with thechallenge of creating "self-actualized" individuals. By this he means people who are able to come to anunderstanding of their own value as individuals in a society where their traditional functions are beingabsorbed by cybernetic advance. He asks what sort of education will be relevant to this situation, whatsort of education will halt the trend towards depersonalization of the human and disintegration of thecommunity feeling, and suggests some possibilities. One specific suggestion which Theobald makes isthat competitive grading be replaced with cooperative grading. This would involve giving the entire classthe same grade. If the entire class worked well together to create a dynamic educational experience itwould receive a high grade. The stronger members of the class must help those who were weak so thatthe entire class would not suffer. This would make learning to work together a part of the total experiencerather than the currently prevalent and usually frantic battle for position. The most important need whichhe sees for our institutions, however, is for true dialogue among all members of the academic communityin deciding those matters which affect them all. He stresses that by this he does not mean what usuallynow passes for dialogue; that is, talking until everyone agrees with the particular figure of authority. Heargues the need for relevant, meaningful, discussion of and participation in all decision making processes. Theobald feels we are at a definite turning point in history. He says, "America must invent a new future."It is up to the young people of the country to take the lead in charting the new paths we must take. Thegeneration in charge of all our institutions is basing its decisions on a reality which is in fact only amemory. They may understand intellectually but they do not understand the new age emotionally, andmost of their decisions are obviously based on emotion. This age is our reality and it is ours to do with aswe will. ©1969 Leeming Division, Chas.

The program is an experimentalgrouping of 34 students which includes a 16 credit block from the following d e p a r t m e n t s :sociology-anthropology, philosophy, economics and education. Departmental representatives a r e :Jane K a m a u, s o c i o l o g y - a n t h r o p o l o gy department; Dr. Howard E. Mitchell, economicsdepartment; Dr. A. Hugh Fleetwood, philosophy department; Dr. Fredrick Ellis, education department.The goal of self-study is giving understanding of formal organization at Western. College self-studyadvances a one-shot experimental plan. Spring quarter approval was given by the Academic Council Astudent brought the idea to department and faculty members. "If self-study works, it will be continued}'according to Dr. Donald J. Call, chairman of the s o c i o l o g y - a n t h r o p o l o gy department. "Self-study asks the following questions," Call said. 1. How to work (within the institution)? 2. Who doeswhat? 3. How well it (the organization) works? 4. Does the organization fulfill goals set for the college?5. Is the organization able to set goals and proceed realistically? 6. Do college goals interfere withorganizational goals? "When we study an institution or organization, our aim is to study it out theresomewhere. "We almost never look at our own organization. One of the greatest needs is the knowledge and understanding of what we are," Call said. An anecdote which describes an archaeologist as "aman who goes into the desert with a shovel and digs up old bones," defies reality. A specialarchaeological research project is underway during Spring and Summer quarters at Western. G.F.Grabert, assistant professor of anthropology, heads the exploration and will publish the findings. TheSpring research began in an area 20 miles from Bellingham on Saturday, April 6. Since little sustainedwork and exploration has taken place in the Columbia River and Northwest areas, research will add toour knowledge of historic and prehistoric peoples of the Northwest. "When you dig, you work backwardin time. Where cities are stratified, more than one occupation of human debris existed. Some sites arerelatively little recorded, others were recorded as early as 3,000 to 6,000 years ago," Grabert said. More than 600 sites were explored in Whatcom County last summer. Many sites are m a i n t a i n e d forprivate enjoyment and not publicly known, Grabert said. "Archaeology is not a collection of artifacts,although it is that, too. It is a collection of information about people, when they might have lived, andwhere they might have come from," he said. An archaeologist is not only interested in paleontology, the study of fossil remains, but human organism remains and things people did. Archaeologists examinehuman behavior in other times and places. Scientists attempt to reconstruct much of the lives and ideasof these earlier people. They can dig up material evidence as a guide to expression of those ideas. Thegoal of Grabert's study is to learn about man in the Northwest area, at all times and places.

Twowomen's dorms, Higginson and Kappa, are being considered for changeover to coed dorms for next fall.Since Edens Hall is going to be vacated by Fairhaven students who will occupy the New Fairhavenbuilding, a committee was formed to formulate recommendations for an u p p e r c l a s s and/orcoeducational hall, utilizing Edens or other dorms. Winter quarter the committee circulated a surveythroughout the halls, questioning 25 per cent of the residents. Results have shown that while anupperclass hall was not desired by a majority of the students, a coed hall proposal received a favorableresponse. From data derived from the survey, it was decided that two coed dorms should be madeavailable. Higginson, on lower campus, is favored for the alternating suite style, its apartment typeconstruction facilitating coed living. On upper campus Kappa was suggested as a separate wing PointRoberts Point Roberts is an isolated peninsula extending south from the Canadian mainland.

The de p a r t m e n t of continuing studies is now analyzing data. Strategic geographic location of PointRoberts may influence decisions. "A first in land agreements between the U.S. and Canada could arise," Harris said. Population varies with an off-season low of 300 and arrangement. sends out SOS on-season crowds of 30,000 to 50,000. Canadians face a dilemna as Point Roberts landowners. Canadianresidency limitations are six months minus one day. Canadian retirement on Point Roberts is nowimpossible. On-season law enforcement creates problems since the town has only one sheriff.Emergency medical services are referred to Blaine or Bellingham. Employment problems arise because Canadian employment is barred. Fifteen Point Roberts landowners formed a steering committee.Members of the committee are divided in decisions to problems. A steering committee meeting will beheld Thursday. Continuing studies will then unveil partial results of their research analysis.

Last week a petitionwas circulated on campus asking student support of the idea of placing a student on the Board. A deskwill be in front of the VU this week for students wishing information about the proposal. Wide spreadsupport has been solicited for this issue and now David Sprague, chairman of Western's Board ofTrustees and state legislature, has endorsed the idea, according to an AS Informational handout. TheCouncil of Washington State Student Body Presidents has met with Governor Daniel J. Evans andreceived full support from him concerning the matter. Since trustees only come to campus for one or twodays a month, they cannot possibly rule with wisdom on vital matters concerning students, according toNoel Bourasaw, AS president. Students interested in getting a student on the Board can talk to theirparents and solicit help on this issue in their hometowns, Bourasaw said. They also can write letters totheir state legislators, and sign the petition, endorsing the idea, he continued. More information onthis issue can be obtained from the AS President's office, which is now in the process of drawing up apamphlet concerning this matter. "This college does not exist to serve itself, it exists to servegenerations today and tomorrow," Dr. Charles J. Flora, president of Western, said in his inauguraladdress Thursday. More than 1,000 students, educators, and special guests gave the newly-inaugurated president a standing ovation as David Sprague, chairman of the Board of Trustees, placedthe presidential pendant around Flora's neck. The Most Rev. Thomas Gill, auxiliary bishop of theCatholic Archdiocese of Seattle, gave the invocation and benediction. The Western Brass Choirperformed the processional and recessional. Representatives from more than 150 colleges anduniversities throughout the United States were present at the ceremony. Many of the representativeswere Western faculty who had been asked to represent the school from which they received theirdegree. Rep. Don Eldridge, speaker of the House of Representatives, and a former Goals of groups tobe discussed in open forum An Open Forum will be held at 1 p.m. today in the VU lounge to discussthe goals of a AS government, Inter-Hall Council, (IHC), Off-Campus Inter- Hall Council (OCIC) and AS legislature.

The forum will be moderated by ^)ave Davis, AS vice-president.

Both of these panels will be repeated at 1 p.m. Dec. 4 in the VU lounge.Western Trustee represented Gov. Daniel J. Evans and other state officials. Eldridge said the governorregretted he was unable to personally convey his congratulations. Stanley Little, speaking for the stateBoard of Education, said that the appointment of Flora was "in keeping with the high caliber ofeducation in the state." Congratulations were also extended by Hans Lorentzen, speaking for the Alumni Association; Dr. Arthur Hicks, English professor, representing the faculty; and Associated Students President Noel Bouasaw, speaking for the student body. Flora succeeds Dr. Harvey C. Bunke, whoresigned in September, 1967. Flora was interim president before being named Western's new chiefadministrator last March 26.

Sy Schwartz lecturer, Education TheLion in Winter'' to be presented Dec. 5 The second Western Players' production this season, "The Lionin Winter," opens next Thursday, Dec. 5, at 8:15 p.m. in Old Main, L-l. The battling, bruising drama,described as a "medieval 'Virginia Woolf " runs four evenings through Sunday, Dec. 8. Theproduction is entered as Western's entry in national drama competition. (See "Theatre Festival" story,page 7) Grant Kinnear is cast as King Henry II of England and Sharon Bullington as Eleanor of Aqui-taihe in this 11th-century historic comedy. As the ruler of England and much of France, Henry likedpower, women, and the joy of battle, but couldn't choose between a mistress or a throne. Eleanor,who both loved and hated her king, played her own games of passion. Set in an era that knew no rules,the play makes today's generation gap and parent-offspring problems come more alive by showingtheir centuries-old counterparts. Bill Treadwell plays Prince Richard the Lion Hearted and Mike IngersollPrince John. These two, along with Bill Bar-wise as Geoffrey, are the sons to whom King Henry mustleave his realm. Betty Macaluso is Alais and Preston Boyd is King Philip, French royalty.

The council feels optimistic that thelegislature is at least receptive to the proposal, and the members say that no legislators have comeout publicly against the idea yet. The council will meet again in Spokane the weekend of Dec. 7 toformulate the strategy to use in obtaining votes for the measure in the 1969 legislature. All five student presidents from state colleges and universities have ratified the proposal, although Tom Gunn fromthe UW did not attend last week's meeting. A petition is being distributed at Western this week toindicate student support for the proposal. Anyone interested in aiding the passage of this proposalshould attend the Open Forum No. 2 at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4, in the VU Lounge.

The first plan of what Lynn Osiei\ chairman, called "a short, straight to" the point platform," said: "for thebetterment of Western, we shall make every reasonable effort to cooperate with student government and other recognized groups on campus." The second plank the group adopted dealt with protest. TheSilent Majority members indicated that they believe "in the right of responsible protest where there isvalid cause and reason for it." The third plank said: "We believe that journalistic policy in studentpublications should insure objectivity in reporting the news as well as the representation and reflectionof all groups and individuals at Western." Radical Coalition members tried to join the Silent Majorityat the beginning of the meeting. According to an Associated Students (AS) Information Office pressrelease, Osier denied Ian Trivett and other Coalition members membership. To become a member, one must attend two meetings and sign the membership book, Osier said. He reversed his decision laterand said that to become a member, one must sign the membership book at an "openmembership" meeting. "This is not an open membership meeting," osier said. Coalition membersprotested that there is nothing in the constitution that differentiates between membership meetingsand votings meetings. The group agreed to hold a membership meeting after the platform had beenvoted on. Members of the AS government presented their views in regard to the Silent Majority. "Weof student government are here because we sincerely want to help you," AS Vice President DaveDavis said. "We would like you to lower your defense mechanisms a-gainst us long enough to let usgive you some organizational help." Tony Morefield, AS legislator, said, "You must lose this feelingthat we are tion." He said that while many there did not believe in some of the Silent Majority's ideas,they thought it was important for the group to get started. A fourth plank was discussed at a closedplatform committee meeting after the open meeting was adjourned.

Schurmann, a scholar on China from the University of California atBerkeley, was the second of a group of lecturers at Western last week for President Charles ' Flora'sinauguration. Schurmann compared America's poor with the "peasant class" gf China and Vietnam."Our cities are just like those of Asia," he said. There is a small "elite rich" facing a large group of poorpeople who live in the ghetto, Schurmann added. The National Liberation Front (NLF) in Vietnam, wh i ch Schurmann labeled a peasant movement, has developed "one of the most extraordinarilyorganized forces" in world history, Schurmann said. "We have dumped 2,500,000 tons of bombs on Vietnam" and the NLF still survives, Schurmann said. Riots in the ghettoes of American cities area similar movement to the NLF, Schurmann added. Schurmann also compared the "studentmovement" in America with the Chinese cultural revolution of 1966. During that revolution, in whichpolitical heads of state were forced to wear dunce caps, "the whole political elite of the Chinesecommunist party were Dr. Franz Schurmann discussed the Asian "Peasant revolt" with WesternitesThursday. —photo by gable creamed off," Schurmann said.

Greg Jones, speaker of the house, assigned Responsible LeadershipCommittee to "write a workable placement policy" on a request from President Charles J. Flora. Thecommittee's proposal will then be submitted to a joint committee composed of students and faculty,along with a proposal from the faculty to produce an overall campus placement policy. By CHRISTYTYLER Front Staff "Our vessel has just about burst," said Stanford University professor of biology. Dr. Paul R. Erlich in a lecture concerning the population crisis last week. Some countries in the worldare doubling their populations every 20 to 25 years, Erlich said. "If the present rate continues thepopulation of the earth will be 7 billion by the year 2000." In 1940 agricultural experts predicted that they could feed an estimated 2 billion people in 1960," said Erlich. The actual population was 3 billion, and not even 2 billion were being fed. "We are already at a stage where we can't feed the people on theearth today. The hope for tomorrow is just not there." What Erlich termed "the pop- WedelH WW'SCDept.of Speech 8800 I present James Goldman's THE LION IN WINTER Old Main Theatre 8:15 P.MDecember 5, 6, 7, 8 ulation boom" is more than a matter of providing sufficient food supplies. "Inaddition to over-populating the earth, man is rapidly turning off life support systems through pollution,"Erlich said. Smog has been sighted over the poles and the Grand Canyon. It has been estimated,according to Erlich, that in 20 years air pollution will make the earth uninhabitable. Overcrowded andstarving-people increase instability ana political tension, said Erlich. This increases the threat ofthermonuclear war. Many scientists look to the sea as a source of food. However, Erlich said he feels that because of pollution, rather than providing more food, the sea will provide less. Erlich said thatagricultural theories of increasing food production are "treating fee symptoms, not the disease."Erlich offered what he termed positive solutions to far-out non-solutions like space colonization andfarming of the sea. "The United States must set an example of birth control, not on a do as we say, buta do as we do basis," he said. World-wide birthcontrol will require changes in attitudes. Suspicions andjealousy between countries and races will have to be forgotten. "A rethinking of our foreign aid programis also necessary/' Erlich said. "We've been stuffing most of our aid in a rat hole. It's a question ofsending food to the hopeless, or sending food to those who might find a way out."

The question has stayed with me;here are some reflections: First, is the question's assumption correct? Are Western students lessradical? (I have been away from Berkeley for three years, but from the news it seems likely that studentsthere are more radical than when I left; one would expect that, since it's obvious that students in generalin the U. S. are more radical than they were three years ago.) Probably the majority of students here who have really concerned themselves with political and social happenings (campus, national, andinternational) are not very different in outlook from their counterparts at Berkeley. But the number ofWestern students who do not so concern themselves is probably proportionally higher than the number oftheir counterparts at Berkeley. And since not to concern oneself is in itself a conservative characteristic,it seems reasonable to say that Western is relatively conservative. Then why do so many Westernstudents not concern themselves with the "burning issues of our time"? The reasons that occur to me:their environment has been a conservative one—family, city, county, and state; it has been a quietone—few Blacks around to raise ugly and disturbing questions about the nature of U. S. society; ithas been a somewhat insulated one—relatively tardy and diluted exposure to new currents of thoughtand creative activity in the arts and in other areas. Even in the colleges and universities of Washingtonthe ingrown, parochial, and chauvinistic attitudes of the surrounding society have continued to bepredominant. My experience has been that frustration makes radicals. If you can change a bad situationfor the better, the feeling of accomplishment is soothing. If you try to change it and fail, the frustrationthat you feel embitters you, and convinces you to try harder the next time; every such experiencereinforces your bitterness, and when you see the patterns emerging, your outlook also develops into apattern—in many young people today, it is the 'radical' pattern. If students in Washington are lessradical than those in some other areas, the main reason lies in their relative insulation from problemsthat they might want to solve and from the frustration that results in their not being able to solve them. ..... .A n l . _ Now which environment is better? What should a place-of higher education be? I wouldprefer a quiet place because I am a peace-loving and conservative person. But there are problems thatmy conscience won't let me ignore completely, and I think a school ot any kind is a natural place forconfronting these problems, and for finding solutions to them. It should be a place where a great dealhappens— where new ideas and ways of thinking are in continual ferment. (Cosmopolitan areas, suchas the Bay Area and New York, are 'naturals.') It should be truly conservative, preserving the best fromthe past and discarding all that is bad. But it should not take ten years to discard the bad, and itshould not hesitate to try new things that may prove to be better than last year s best. —Bob CarltonInstructor, English dept. Weeding the 'grass' IVQ6 7fiZZ- pvxep OPO) IT Much has been saidconcerning marijuana and its use among young people. If one takes into consideration the number ofyouths who are subjected to the severe penalties for use and possession of this "dangerous drug" eachyear, it becomes apparent that further discussion is necessary. In a recent study at the University ofWashington, it was revealed that as much as 50% of the student body had at one time smokedmarijuana. This is an astonishing figure when one considers the minimum five year sentence for useand possession by first offenders. With such high stakes, both to those who use marijuana and thesociety which loses some of its most valued members when they are imprisoned, one must ask whatmakes marijuana so dangerous as to warrant such severe action? One can only turn to the infamousFederal Narcotics Bureau for the answer. In opposing the legalization of "grass," and in fact anyreduction in the penalties for use, possession or sale, the Narcotics Bureau stands primarily on oneargument. Marijuana tends to lead to other more harmful drugs. (It is generally admitted that marijuana is in itself not harmful.) In the 1930's few people smoked marijuana, probably due to the social stigmaattached to it. Those who did smoke marijuana tended to be members of subcultures which generallygravitated towards drugs as a means of escape or excitement. There was little differentiation betweenmarijuana and hard drugs. In fact "pushers" dealt in all forms of drugs, with an emphasis placed onheroin and cocaine. Therefore a high correlation between the use of marijuana and hard drugs didexist. This synthetic relationship was taken as one of cause and effect rather than chanceassociation. They expected the use of hard drugs to increase proportionally with the use of marijuana,fortunately it hasn't and their "causal theory" is revealed for its false reasoning. To err is human but toprolong the effects of an error at the expense of a large segment of our citizenry is criminal. Without adoubt there needs to be a scientific investigation of the effects of marijuana. It should be done at theexpense of the state and it should be done now. —Jerry Field Senior, Psychology Malcolm X speaks'There is no system more corrupt than a system that represents itself as the example of freedom, theexample of democracy, and can go all over this earth telling other people how to straighten out theirhouse, when you hove citizens ot this country who hove to use bul lets it they want to cast a ballot..

Witness the formation andactivities of the new rightwing radical coalition: the Silent Majority. In tactics, activities,publicity, etc., they are the very people they say they are opposed to. They petition, they argueloudly outside the VU (silent???), they give away literature, no doubt they will bring speakers tocampus. They may even demonstrate against demonstrations of the Radical Coalition. In all this, theybut serve the aims of the Radical Coalition: to politically activate the heretofore sluggish majority ofstudents at Western. Once politically motivated — of the Right or Left, it matters little — it is easier toassert Student Power vis-a-vis the administration and or faculty. I suspect not a little collusionbetween the higher conspirators in the Radical Coalition and Silent Majority; they're no fools.They've r e a d . . . how For the unusual in handweaving: TOTE BA6S PANCHOS RAG RUGS PLAGEMATS REVERSIBLE APRONS WORKSHOP f.r the HANDICAPPED 1230 State St. Next to Shakey'sOpen Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until 4 p.m 734-5353 After 4 733-3873 $400 £ tupmade to order Colorful and Washable student activism, of the Right and Left, eventually joined for thecommon cause at Berkeley, Columbia, Paris, etc. The whole thing's obviously a Commie plot.

Both in a personal interview and in a typed script sent to the Western Front within an hour of the interview, I stressed that Dr. Flora was NOT going to be made an honorary Indian chief. But toKatie, Indians always make the White Man an honorary Chief; it is part of the stereotype she has ofIndians. All of us carry about in our minds such simplified concepts of the behavior of other peoples.That one should distort a news story by recourse to one's own prejudices and biases is rottenjournalism. If these words are too harden Katie. I'm sorry, but to the extent that students want"freedom" and more responsibility in the academic community they must subject themselves toaccountability for their decisions. George F.

Dear White Folk: Racism "still prevails" here at Western and it is a white problem. Black and white studentsare suffering under a totally bias institution. The teachers for the most part are white and they instructcollege courses which are irrelevant and of no consequence to the needs of black and non-whitestudents. Some colleges and universities have made some effort but as for Western, we are sorry to say there hasn't been any significant progress up to date. Thus, we are saying that in our own collegeexperience that if a college's social purpose is to educate and provide more productive members of that society, then it also must use the means whereby to meet the needs of both black and white students.Black Students Union W.

Themarch was sponsored by the Resistance, a group which advocates noncompliance with the SelectiveService System. At Eugenes Local Draft Board the marchers were met by police. Marchers wereinformed that only 30 persons at a time would be allowed in the building. Seventeen draft cards andmore than 100 statements of noncompliance were left with Selective Service officials. Ron Funke, aResistance member, described the march as a "positive act" and not a demonstration, the DailyEmerald reported. Hugh Wood.

Price, who teaches Black lit-erature 2 97A and 3 97A does not believe in teaching in the sense that we all must have degrees and tenure.

In 1965-66 he worked for Vista in central Harlem for the New York CityHousing Authority, a job he termed "unproductive." Price said that colleges are not as liberal as peoplethink they are. A proof of this he said, is the political, social and moral conservatism on the part of themajority of the faculty and administration at Western. "The supposition that formal education wasgoing to change things has proven to be untrue," Price said. "Actually, the more education you givepeople, the more conservative you make them."

Concerningthe proposal for a third cluster college on Western's campus, Price believes it should be a collegeexclusively devoted to Black studies. "The college should be open to all disadvantaged students, butwith the central intellectual thrust being determined by Black people's experiences in the United States," Price said.

NORTHWESTERN COMMERCIAL BANK 10-3 MON.-FRI. F.D.I.C. MEMBER 445High On Campus To Serve You Blues-based whites grope tor blackness By JACK LYNE The KentuckyKERNEL To critique John Mayall is to try to understand the blues. And that is attempting tounderstand the Blacks; the two are as inextricably bound as Fabian and tone deafness. The reluctant emigrants who were ripped from the African continent by slave dealers were exploited for their superiorphysical and mental stature. As Black prisoners they were thrown on a continent alien in cWfycioesaperfectsizes lookperfect ontf21dajj ever/month/ It has nothing to do with calories. It's a special femaleweight gain... caused by temporary water-weight build-up. Oh, you know... that uncomfortable fullfeeling that sneaks up on you the week before your menstrual period. This fluid retention not only playshavoc with your looks but how you feel as well. (It puts pressure on delicate nerves and tissues, whichcan lead to pre-menstrual cramps and headaches, leaves emotions on edge.) That's why so manywomen take PAMPRIN®. It gently relieves water-weight gain to help prevent pre-menstrual puffiness,tension, and pressure-caused cramps. PAMPRIN makes sure a perfect size 7 never looks less thanperfect. Nor feels less than perfect, either. language and culture. Chained and psychologically castrated in The Land of the Free,' the blacks were left with little else save their music. It is impossible to ignorthe pathos of blues, best symbolized by the great B.B. "Blues Boy" King. While eschewingthepollyanna role, blues did ease the pain somewhat, transforming the singer from participant insuffering to observer. Witness Bobby "Blue" Bland removing himself one step from the action in "I Pity the Fool": "Look at the people . . . watchin' you make a foolouttamef" But black America hasmoved past the blues motif. The blues-man accepted his repressive world of pain. Charging ahead hascome soul music — two parts gospel, one part blues— assertively projecting blackness (Theimpressions' "We're a Winner"). Blues, can serve black consciousness only as part of a proud heritage. Into this musical vacuum, ironically, have stepped white bluesmen. It is hard to say why whites haveturned to blues to supplement their diet of acid rock. Partially it is due to the hollow plasticity affectingtoo much of Motown's product, partially to plain envy. Some of the white bluesmen (Paul Butterfield,MayaH, Ste-vie Winwood, Canned Heat, jan-is joplin) approximated the tough dignity of black blues.Still, they couldn't project it as well as the originals like Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, John LeeHooker and Albert King. The sound often failed to project authenticity or forcefulness. Few, if any.whites have ever experienced the pain white America has inflicted on black America. King summed itup in his verbally dog°eared axiom: "You can't really play the blues 'til you paid some dues." Whichbrings us, at last, to John Mayall. Mayall is an Englishman who has been playing gritty Chicago blues since the 50 's„ His Bluesbreakers units have been launching pads for a number of musicians.Mayall is his usual multi-talented self, featured on vocaL harmonica, piano, harpsichord, organ,harmonium, and five, six, and nine-string guitars, acoustic and amplified. He also composed eleven ofthe twelve selection, handled the dust-jacket layout and co-produced the album. He suffers from somewhite hangups, trying to move blues into suite form, which is accomplished by splicing tapes andrunning the side into a sound continuum a la "St. Pepper." John Mayall is still not B.B. King, althoughhe tries very hard. ("Gotta taste of brown sugar, gonna leave white sugar alone."; Perhaps it is not therole of the white bluesman to incorporate black blues style. White blues is in its own thing. After hearingtoo many bland cream puffs dating from Frankie Avalon to Herman's Hermits.it is refreshing to see whitemui sicians getting down; playing it naked and open. Mayall senses it: "All my bare wires are alive."Heck, yes, we're still in style. You ever hear what happens when people quit eating?

Third Half Look Who Wants Money A recent article in the Campus Crier, Central's studentnewspaper acclaims Central's athletes for attending the college despite lack of financial aid. Withoutmaking an accusation, I refuse to believe Central's outstanding atheltic program is operating on themeager allowance they claim. Dr. William Tomaras, Western athletic director, provided a summary ofmerit scholarships granted to athletes at the three state colleges, Western, Central and Eastern. Eastern topped the list with $7,700 granted, Central was second, giving $7,000. These totals are lower thanprevious years, but the schools are in no position to complain when they look at Western's grand total of$2,100. Western's money is distributed between 10 athletes; hardly a free ride for any of them. It'sobvious why coach Fred Emerson's football team draws a majority of freshman and sophmores, and fewtop caliber tran-fers. Players can't afford to miss a month of work just to turn out. and maybe get a smalljob in return. Western's coaching staff does remarkable job making the Viks a strong competitor inalmost all sports. With a little help, at least equal to Central and Eastern from the Finanacial Aids office,Western should be able produce a bundle of top ranked athletes too. The help should come from theFinancial Aids office only and not the Admissions office. Congratulations to the soccer team, tying for top honors in the initial season of the Western Washington Soccer Conference fc ference Probably themost outstanding player in the conference, Freshman Glenn Hindin scored 10 goals in six games tolead the Viks, and the league. ******* The Rugby team extended its win streak to 10 games, countingthe final three games of last year. Leading their league, with a 6-0 record this season. Western onlyneeds two victories , in six games , to clinch the Championship.

Scott beats Prezz in'smoker' More than 250 people viewed the Associated Men Students *W» club Smoker last Saturdaynight in Carver Gym. Heading the show was Fraser Scott, a former Western student and footballletterman, whofoughl a middleweight bout against George Prezz from the Everett Eagles Boxing Club.Scott sparred with Prezz in four 3-minute rounds in his exhibition workout, as preparation for tonight'sfight against Tony Dowling of Ireland, in Tacoma. Even though the match was not an all-out battle, Scottgave his opponent a bloody nose. Scott is undefeated in nine bouts as a professional. Prezz will turnprofessional soon. "He'll be all right," Scott said about Prezz, after the workout- Six amateur boxersstaged three 2-minute rounds. The three exhibition matches were by me Monroe Reformatory andSeattle Eagles boxing clubs. Curtis Johnson, 165 lbs, Monroe, 1968 Tacoma GoldenGloveschampion and runner-up in the 1968 PI tournament, fought Chris Wiess, 190 lbs, Seattle Eagles. BobGipson, 156 lbs, Monroe, battled LaMarr Wells. 210 lbs. Chuck Hilyard, 132 lbs, Monroe, runner-up inthe 1968 PI tournament, faced Dan Supran, 140 lbs, also from Monroe. Since all the boxing matcheswere exhibitions, there were no official winners. A judo exhibition by Western's judo club, featured aprofessional judo instructor, six men and two women, who demonstrated the methods of selfdefense. Martin Potts, 123 lbs, and Joe Barker, heavyweight, both on the varsity wrestling team. gave awrestling exhibition. Dean of Men C. W.

These ratheroutraged individuals assured us that they have heard rumors to the effect that the AMS (undoubtedlyone of the truly great humanitarian organizations of our time') is bringing Playboy Playmate to thisvery campus (WOW!) and "if it is going to come off AMS is going to need help." Surely there is at leastone psychiatric expert on this campus who would volunteer to whip the AMS boys into shape before the Playmate gets here so "it will come oft" Indeed, for their blind soul's sake, I hope it all comes oft These dear lads attribute the lack of AMS's rumors publicity either to their own blindness which they readilyassure us "as far as we know isn't true" or to Mr. Bourasaw's trumpet. With regard to the latterconclusion I think I detect a certain sense of envy. Perhaps Noel should play a soft, soothing trumpettune for their benefit to quench their apparently necessarily enslaved libidos. However, I do.in allhonesty, believe that these pitiable pursuers of the petty smacked the aardvark on the snout whenthey attributed the absence of AMS Playmate publicity to their own blindness: blindness to a societywhich in the name of selMe-fense trots ten thousand miles from its shores to cram an unwantedmilitaristic regime down inflamed throats bleeding from the effects of twenty-five years of warfare,blindness of a society which in the midst of so much allows six million children to suffer permanentbrain damage because of malnutrition, a "smart" society which exalts certain females plagued with ahypermammary condition who through catch-me-if-you-can can exhibitionism transform healthyeroticism into the cult of the shaven rabbit. There is only one thing sadder than their blindness: theirlack of awareness, their insen-sitivity, to that blindness. Since the AMS rumors and frantic "antics"publicity, I must in truth to my conscience demand equal time for what I shall henceforth call P.A.B.rumors. I have heard it rumored that a new campus club, the Capitalist Pigs, is holding a (self sexualexploitation) contest in the typing room of Nash Hall, floor two on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 7:30 p.m. Icertainly hope that this paper will not prove a mouthpiece dedicated solely to the perpetuation of AMSrumors but will give equal billing to all future PAB rumors. Love, Paul A. Burr Sophomore, soc. Anth.Aid and advice? Editor: Included in the masthead of the November 19 edition of the Western Front is the following statement: "Because Miss Eddings was ill, Noel Bourasaw, former editor, gave hertechnical aid and advice " I trust Mr. Bourasaw is aware of the difficulty in drawing a line between"technical aid and advice" and management of the news. To avoid this difficulty it might be best for himto refrain completely from involvement in the workings of The Western Front. Phillip Montague,assistant professor Philosophy Contributor carries card Editor: I am writing in response to the "draftcard turn-in" by P. G. O'Reilly m. It appears that he is not particularly skilled in responsible Clinkingeither. This nation was not built by the spineless, and they can take little credit for it s preservation.part of life is making sacrifices and meeting obligations. As with taxes, military service is one of theobligations which although not particularly pleasing, must be met if our national freedoms are tocontinue. I dislike the use of "free" for the word "irresponsible." Those who refuse to meet their nationalobligations certainly deserve titles other than "free men". There are numerous military and nationalservice alternatives available to those who honestly have a moral objection to "packing a gun"; sothere is no excuse for lack of participation by some individuals. Although I completed four years ofactive military service before I began my college education, my obligation to my country shallcontinue throughout my life. I too carry a draft card, but I have never felt that it identified me as a slave to anything. It identifies me as a male American over 18 years of age. It identifies me as a citizen of a nation where my advancement is limited only by my personal abilities and self determination. Itidentifies me as one of those who has contributed to this nation and is proud to be an American. For America James A. Smith junior, ind. fcech. No 'Majority' logic Editor: After crawling through thepeanut butter rhetoric of the Silent Majority's organizational statement, I must question not only theverbalization capabilities of this organization, but also its logic. If this style of writing and thought is aparody by a secret committee of the Radical Coalition, then I can understand the put-on. If it is not, Idon't need to. The result will be the same. Bravo W.W.S.C. I give you one year. Eraserman (Namewithheld by request) Ensign spews his own Editor: Many of the most outspoken and activeconscientious objectors at Western and throughout the nation are themselves past members of theArmy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and even the Navy. It is reasonable and fitting that we who have seen firsthand the glories of our military should relate to others our experiences. It is gopd thatsurvivors of the military are "living proof that such an organization cannot enforce people to spewfeces. I believe that Ens. Cummins spews on his own volition. Michael E. Garrison Freshman Cummins bigotry blasted Editor: I was greatly irritated by Ensign Ronald Cummins' sentiment that "as for those conscientious objectors . . . the removal of An autumn romance blooms into a spring wedding.

(See "Letters," Nov. 12). • Cummins and others like himwho confuse patriotism with narrow- mindedness do a great disservice to the conscientiousobjector. Though I am not a CO., I do hold a great deal of respect for the individuals who are sincere intheir belief that "Thou shalt not Kill," and who place God's law above the Selective Service Act.

The newly proclaimed republic has a population of six. It wouldhave been seven, but one of the founding fathers fell overboard from the land craft— a dinghy — andhad to swim back to shore. Danish police on the Banks of Lake Sortedamssoeenwere makinginvasion plans today because the Bird Islanders —students from an organization called Zenith —refused to give up their 12- 00-square-yard country. lt;C' status raised Santa Clara, Calif. — ft.P.)Students at the University of Santa Clara now have a new grade to shoot for: the C+. The grade will carry a grade point value of 2.5 points, 0.5 points higher than the C grade. No longer will it be necessary to receive a B to balance out a D grade; two C + 's will achieve the same effect. It should also be notedthat the majority of the faculty members were especially in favor of this new grade because it will allow them to separate the "C" students, into which category the greatest number oi Santa Clara studentsfit. the western front Vol. LX, No. 8 Western Washington State College, Bellingham, Wash. 98225Tuesday, November 7,1967 Individual Copy 10C Neighbors resist Manor addition Sehome Manor standsalone and unwed on State Street in a manner of speaking. Its mates, other multt unit apartments, is nowbeing proposed by a local contractor to alleviate the shortage of married student housing. (Photo byFinley) The owner of Sehome Manor wants to expand the development by 92 apartments. Home-owners in the area have gone to the Bellingham City Council to prevent all of the planned expansion. JamesBolster, owner of the Manor, plans to build two additional buildings and lease them to Western. He isalready leasing the present building, the converted St. Joseph Hospital on State Street, to the collegefor mar. ried student housing. At the Oct. 30 City Council meeting residents of the area presented apetition asking that Bolster not be granted me Specific Use Permit he needs to expand. Without t hi s permit, Bolster can only have 130 apart, raents on the property. He now has 62. Mrs. James O'Brien, a resident of the area, explained that if Mr. Bolster triples the size of the Manor, the density will"change the character of the neighborhood." Home-owners in the area have predicted that with a marriedcouple and up to two children in each of the 155 apartments, there might be more than 600 peopleliving in a one-square-block area. Another objection raised by property - owners is that Bolster's plandoes not provide adequate parking facilities, since the city requires one 10' x 20* parking stall for each apartment, and Bolster's proposed parking stalls are 9* x 18'. The Bolster plan calls for 180 stalls, or 25 more than required. In total square feet, the city requires 31,000 (10 x 20 x 155). Bolster's plan onlyprovides 29,160 sq. ft. However, Bolster said in a FRONT telephone interview that his plan alsoprovided for access to the parkingspaces, whereas the city's requirement does not. Area residents alsoclaimed at the City Council meeting that Bolster does not provide enough playground area for theexpected number of children when the additions are completed. Bolster plans three playground areas, each visible from several apartment windows. Previously, residents of the area had objected that thetwo proposed buildings would obstruct their view. Bolster redesigned the plans so that the tallerstructure now comes only 14 feet above street level on the uphill side. The city allows buildings up to30 feet above street level. Another complaint of the area residents is that with such a concentration of people in the area, property values would decline. Bolster claims that if he gets the permit, houses inthe area could also get permits for use as boarding houses, increasing their value. At last night's CityCouncil meeting, the issue was again discussed. Bolster predicted that his request for the Specific Use Permit would be sent to a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 20. An advertisement concerningmarihuana is located on page 12 of this week's newspaper. It advocates some controversialmethods of dealing with a topic that many people consider a social problem. The advertisement has been well-researched and an attempt has been made beforehand to gauge the influence it will have onreaders.

Western lecturer is author B.C. drug-use report drawsVancouver fire A report on drug use in Vancouver, B.C. by Western sociology lecturer Miss Ingeborg Paulus, which advocates relaxing laws on marijuana, recently drew fire from that city's prosecutor. The report found little connection between use of marijuana and "hard" narcotics and saidimprisonment does not solve the problem, but the report did endorse strict regulation of LSD.Prosecutor Stewart McMor-ran, according to "The Vancouver Sun/' termed Miss Paulus "a little outof touch with reality." He said the report is statistically insignificant because toofew cases werestudied. Miss Paulus told the FRONT that the report was based on 72 questionnaires, 40 interviews and observations. She said both the dangers and delights of marijuana are overrated. Miss Paulus feelsimprisonment is not the answer because "the best hopes for their (marijuana users) return toordmary society is for the'establishment' to keep lines of communication open," but prison simply cutsthem off more. Hippies are confused by the seeming inconsistency of the illegality of marijuana andlegality ol alcohol, which they think is a greater menace, she said. They often feel isolated fromsociety, but few users "commit serious criminal offenses" and suggests "Only a small portion of thoseso far investigated will become 'social problems,' "the report said. The report was conducted over an 18-month period for the Narcotics Addiction Foundation of British Columbia. Miss Paulus received herM.A. in sociology with honors from the University of British Columbia. A native of Germany, she is now a Canadian citizen. Miss Ingeborg Paulus.

This year the pay scale for new Ph.D.'s tired asassistant professors ranges from $8,000 to $9,617 a year depending on the salabil-ity of theirspecialties. That may sound like a lot, but consider that the average Ph.D. has had approximately eightyears of undergraduate and graduate study. If he had worked i» a trade, he could have earnedinore than $50,000 during the sanio period. Of course, his potential salary j'g higher than that of atrade nan. Job security is greate. and time off, including Sabbatical leave, more plentiful. Theintangible rewards of prestige, and of working in an area o% personal choice with compar !tive freedom,are greater. gt; Fac.' jity salaries are proposed by tfte Faculty Council Salary Committee. Thetentative salary budget is presented, eventually, to the state legislature on a biennial basis. Thefaculty pay schedule usually requires adjustments to fit the legislative appropriation, before receiving final approval by the board of trustees. There are six automatic steps and three discretionary steps inthe salary schedule of an assistant professor. Within a seven-year period, the assistant prof may begranted promotion to associate professor. Salaries in this category rangeirom $9,978 to $11,-888 a year on a six-step basis. Merit increases could increase this to $13,600. Spring dorm dedicationA spring dedication for Mathes and Nash Halls was recommended by the Auxiliary EnterprisesCommittee at its meeting Wednesday. The committee also discussed the need for married housing,saying it would probably have to come from private builders, said Dean of Students James Hitchman,committee chairman. For the associate professor to become full professor, he must normallydemonstrate high attainments in both research and teaching. Full professors at Western are paid$)2,310 to $14,056 in five steps. Discretionary awards could increase this amount to $16,056. Nextyear, the minimum for assistant professors starts at $8,541 and goes to a maximum of $17,186 for fullprofessors. "Salaries here are not as high as at some schools, but we are putting forth full effort toincrease them," James Hilde-brand, last year's chairman of the Salary Committee, said. Only this way,he believes, can Western get and keep the best teachers.

Homecoming activities revive spirit of the 20's By SANDY UNTEW EGNERContributor Western took on a razzle-dazzle aura last week when dorms turned into speak-easies, icecream parlors, or "flicker" houses for its Roaring 20's Homecoming. The Delta Delite, a pink and red icecream parlor, won first prize in the Housing Displays contest Second prize went toSigmafor the"Fliquors." Besides creating their display, Sigma Suffragettes followed their sister flappers through the upper campus, chastising them for their wayward ways. Edens came in third for its more seriousdisplay showing the moral decadence of the 20's — including a collection of over 800 beer bottles.Gamma and Kappa both won Honorable Mentions in the contest.

Dr. Katharine Carroll, in the letter published in last week's FRONT, saidPeruvian children desperately need educational aids. She suggested maps and visual materials to teachnumbers, colors, nature study and simple anatomy; and money to buy books, furniture, medical care.Dr. Sam Kelly, education professor who has been receiving Dr. Carroll's letters, suggests thatinterested persons write her directly at Apartado No. 643, Trujillo, Peru. He says he will also talk withgroups or persons wanting to help. We are repeatedly asked this year: why no controversy? Thedepartment of political science bubbles, FBI agents are supposedly shadowing every pothead on campus, Saga workers are striking and students have little or no.power. "We miss it," our former friends decry."Why don't you really sock it to 'them'? What's the matter—you selling out?" They rip up the newspaper, sneer and walk out our door, and we never see them again. We have come to realize that that is the price newspapermen pay when they help create a paranoid campus. 'Healthy' could hardly be an appropriateadjective for the shambles we left in June of the last school year. The former college president left withlittle credit to his name; the Associated Students election campaign had at least partially been a debateon Tom Dooley's devil theory and Western's faculty seemed to be splitting at the seams over severalissues. It is not enough to report and assay such a conglomerate mess. Rather, one must determinewho had a lion's share in making it that way and why. This is what great journalists like Lincoln Steffensmust have meant when they talked about putting your finger on a community's pulse. "Why nocontroversy? " Because it often clouds your mind to the point that you forget the mundane process ofeveryday living. Because you get hung up with ideals and forget pragmatic solutions to things that cannotbe argued on a pie-plateau in the sky. But mostly because campus controversy nearly always involvesthe same people. We perpetuate an in-group that almost kicks out the foundation from under reasoningprocesses on campus. Is anyone getting the message? You who cry "Why no controversy?": Did youever climb down from your steed and kick your enemy in his behind? Do you ever remember thehypocritical things you did yesterday that you are crying "they" did today? This week something hascome up, however, which does deserve the attention of everyone from Nash Hall to the Sears andRoebuck hardware department. The quiet kid with well-trimmed hair and dressed in dapper clothes whois sitting next to you right now might be stoned. Yes, he might have just finished smoking marihuana.Maybe he is a friend of yours. Would you like to see him go to jail for six months? There are both facultymembers and students who have smoked or are now smoking an illegal substance known as marihuana.Some of these people have devoted their lives to helping you clean some of the crabgrass out frombetween your ears. Others have been sacrificing their grades and stability to keep student governmentgoing. Who knows—maybe one of them is writing for your student newspaper. Can you truthfullybelieve that these people are degenerate and sinful? On the other hand, you who do know the "drugscene," can you say you are proud that you have sold your lousy "lid" or ounce of marihuana for $15 after you bought it in San Francisco for $4? Do you like to blow freshmen's minds with your psychedelic toys? Have you ever quit crying about your persecuted state long enough to really tell people why you want tosmoke marihuana? Can you convince anyone that you are really interested in just laws and not justhedonism? Why don't you do it? More than 40 educators here are brave enough to ask for improvedlaws. They stand a chance to lose more than beads and bells if there are repercussions for theadvertisement they signed which this week appears on page 12. In short their reasons for wanting lawsliberalized are believable because they are sincere. We seriously doubt that anyone is going to beconvinced by Western's 'hippies' that the laws should be changed. Hippies are too smugly satisfied thatthey are right. But they are still frustrated when no one listens to them. This is a classic form ofmasochism but we do not think anyone should emulate it. the western front official weekly newspaper ofWestern Washington State College, Bellingham, Wash. second-class postage paid at Bellingham, Wash. 98225 phone, 734-8800: editorial, ext. 2277 advertising, ext. 2276 Noel Bourasaw, editor-in-chief DaveCunningham, business manager Jeanne Doering, managing editor John Dickinson, Ad Manager BobHicks Neal Johns Don Wittenberger Feature Editor News Editor City Editor Stephen Lampe Mike KochDianna Timm Student Affairs Ed.

I- * v lt;,.' Marihuana not safe Marihuana safe? The recordsays otherwise. But the record is being ignored by a small number of highly articulate spokesmen, whoattempt to justify marihuana usage with an aura of intellectualism. Conspicuous among their argumentsis one that marihuana is ? "benevolent herb" and medically safe. But describing marihuana tb^ waydisguises its dangerous properties. A Greek researcher, Dr. Constandinos J. Miras of the University ofAthens, reported in September at the University of California at; Los Angeles that chronic users ofmarihuana usually suffer adverse personality changes and are subject to damage of the brain and otherorgans. His findings, the results of a 20-year study of marihuana u^ers in Greece, included studiestracing radioactive marihuana through the human body. These tests were supported by the U.S. NationalInstitute of Health. / *,. Dr. Miras found that abnormal effects of marihuana, including altered brain wavepatterns, persisted for as long as one year in si gt;rne persons after they had given up marihuana. '. Heobserved marked personality changes after marihuana use, including lethargy, slowed speech, loweredinhibitions and loss of morality : Dr. Miras also said that users could become suddenly violent withoutapparent provocation. This goes along with a report by the New York County Medical Society, "TheDangerous Drug Problem," which showed that marihuana in its stronger forms is definitely associated with criminality, violence and insanity. Dr. Martin H. Keeler, associate professor of psychiatry at theUniversity of North Carolina, laid down unpleasant facts about marihuana at a recent meeting of theAmerican Psychiatric Association, reporting some cases of marihuana users: —Man, 21, becamedisoriented to time and place, could not think, had difficulty controlling his limbs. For some time heexperienced hallucinations resembling those he had during the reaction." —Girl, 19, "became intenselyanxious and apprehensive without any idea as to what she was afraid of..." —Man, 19, "becameconvinced that his internal organs were rotting and that he would die." —Man, 22, "became convincedthat his taking marihuana was part of some gigantic plot, but he did not know what the plot was . . ."Aware of both sides of the marihuana issue, Dr. Donald Louria, president of the New York State Councilon Drug Addiction, concluded in an August issue of the "New York Times Magazine" that "thearguments for legalization of marihuana are based on pure hedonism." Dr. Louria, an associateprofessor at Cornell University Medical College, said proponents want the legal right to use marihuanabecause it gives them pleasure. He said that these spokesmen, even though faced with data on thepotential dangers of its unrestricted use, rely on the argument that marihuana is no more dangerous thanalcohol. "There are six million severe alcoholics in the United States," he wrote. "If marihuana were to belegalized as an escape mechanism to supplement alcohol, why should not amphetamines, cocaine andheroin be equally condoned? " Dr. Louria said a major criterion for legalization of any drug should be theinherent dangers in its indiscriminate use, not a comparison with the dangers of alcohol. Otherwise, hesaid, "there would be a proliferation of drugs dispensed merely for pleasure, and if each of these carried no more risks than presented by alcohol—and by cigarettes—the number of persons damaged wouldinevitably increase strikingly." He said that society has an obligation "to limit the distribution of potentially dangerous and medically useless drugs." Dr. Louria emphasized the dangerous effects of marihuana,saying an individual under its influence tends to lose his coordination and yet often has a feeling ofomnipotence. "A marihuana smoker behind the wheel of an automobile is dangerous. He is in a sensemore dangerous—because less liable to detection —than a drunken driver," Louria wrote. Dr. Lourianoted that those who want to legalize marihuana often quote parts of the so-called La Guardia report, astudy made in New York City in 1944, but fail to quote the records that show that 9 out of 77 personsdeveloped acute psychosis when given marihuana experimentally. He said the report cited a subject whosmoked only one marihuana cigarette, and yet became restless, agitated, dizzy, fearful of hissurroundings and afraid of death. The person also had three short attacks of unconsciousness. "That isnot my definition of an entirely safe drug," Dr. Louria said. Answering arguments that marihuana does notnecessarily lead to heroin addiction, Dr. Louria wrote, "It does often start an individual into the morass ofdrug abuse; whether he moves on or stops depends upon him and his environment." The effects ofmarihuana use, instead of being pleasureful, have been medically shown to be bitter. The 1965 report onDrug Dependence for the World Health Organization reported: "Among the more prominent subjectiveeffects of cannabis (marihuana) . . . are: hilarity . . . carelessness-, loquacious euphoria . . . distortion ofsensation and perception . . . impairment of judgment and memory; distortion of emotionalresponsiveness; irritability and confusion. "Other effects, which appear after repeated administration . .. include: lowering of the sensory threshold, especially for optical and acoustical stimuli. . . illusions, anddelusions that predispose to antisocial behavior; anxiety and aggressiveness as a possible result of thevarious intellectual and sensory derangements; and sleep disturbances." —Jeanne Doering ---------- Western Front - 1967 November 7 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, November 7,1967 Prof would abolish tests, grades By DIANE GRUENSTEIN FRONT Staff "All grades, examinations and transcripts would be abolished if I were in absolute charge of a college,"declared Dr. Robert Meade, professor of psychology, in an interview last week. "The first day freshmenarrive, I would hand them a diploma postdated four years. They could take any course, as many or as few as they chose. No examinations or grades would be given because they are a detriment to getting a good education," he said. v Full fees would be charged for the four years although the student would not berequired to attend college at all, by Meade's method. The student could join the army, get a job or just loll around on the beach. "I would actually encourage some to stay away and even bring more or less mildpressure against others'attendance," Meade said. The student's ability would not be measured byclassroom examinations, but by his actual productivity in a real-life situation. Graduate school andemployers would do all the testing, since marks would not even be issued by professors or the college."Why should the college get involved in this evaluation when the graduate schools and employers knowwhat they want? Let them test for it," he said. Meade said that students are exceptionally ambivalenttoward teachers, usually beginning a course with admiration for their instructor and then developing ahatred which sometimes can be rather intense. The student's attitude results from the knowledge that,sooner or later, the teacher is going to test and evaluate him. In many cases there is the possibility of alow or even failing grade, and so the professor is viewed as a potential threat and someone to be detested. "Under the system I propose, this would probably not happen. The serious student would soon discoverthat this professor is a crucial ally in helping him to meet the ultimate test to be administered by thepotential employer or graduate school," said Meade. "Having taught in universities in India, I have comeup_against situations very much like this one. In India, professors do not give tests or marks. Outsideexaminers, with whom the student never come in contact, are responsible for administering and scoringexaminations. "As a result of this approach, I often noticed the formation of a front bordering oncomraderie between the student and the professor. Their mutual aim was getting the student a goodmark on that examination. The student then began to recognize the professor as a true educator and notas an evaluator or possible executioner. As a result, the student had no reason to dislike his professor.He accepted him as an essential instrument for helping him get good marks," he said. Meade considershimself enough of a social scientist to recognize that social change is very slow, but the practice of thepass-fail system might be one step toward the attainment of an educational system similar to the one heis concerned with here. Diminishing the importance of examinations would give professors andstudents more time to pursue the real goal of college, namely, learning, he said. "No longer would thestudents be burning the midnight oil trying to outguess what the professor will ask on the examination the next day. Nor would bleary-eyed professors have to waste still more oil and aspirin re-reading his ownwords in actual quote or distorted out of context on the examination papers," Meade commented."Since many students do nothing more than parrot the professor's words back to him I sometimes tellthem that to re-read my own words, no matter how golden, on their examination papers, makes me feellike a dog returning to his own vomit. "So, abolition of grades and examinations would contribute to thepeace of mind of the professors as well as that of the students. And it's a well-established principle thatpeace of mind is conclusive to learning," he said. Another benefit of Meade's proposal would be theelimination of "dead wood" from the classroom, he said. Not only would the professor be free of theunmotivated and disinterested student, but the cost of education might be lowered, he noted. Aconsequence of this would be the elimination of another form of dead wood: the dull and minimally-educated professor who has nothing of value to contribute to his students, Meade said. "The studentswould soon recognize him for what he is and leave his classes in droves. Having no students, the collegeadministrators would have good and sufficient reason to cast him on the academic rubbish heap," heconcluded.

SmHe in agony Editor: I hope that advocating changes in the law related tomarijuana is not taken to mean that one favors the use of the drug. My reason for signing the statementin today's paper is a rather simple one. In 18th Century England the penalty for stealing a bag of carrotsor a chicken was to be pulled apart alive by two teams of horses. Today, in America, the penalty forsmoking something that may be less harmful than alcohol is 20 years in prison. I find such lawsannoying, even though I don't advocate stealing chickens or smoking marijuana. Consistency wouldrequire either a liberalizing of the marijuana laws or stiffening those for alcohol. Any preferences? W.G. Heath Associate professor, biology After reading the article "Growing Up Absurdly" in this week'sWestern Front, I could only smile in agony. The author reminded me of a snot-nosed, piddle-pant kidin a sand pile, talking about quadrillions, sextillions, ogoodrillions andtu-baralillions. Those of us whohave attended the "larger," more "liberal" colleges in the East, realize that the ROTC programson the campuses had about as much influence on the students as Mrs. Trueheart's Baking 201 class.Those of us who included the ROTC training program, found it both stimulating and valuable. In myparticular case, it helped me to survive the two wars for which I was DRAFTED. Since we have failed toeliminate wars, our enemies, or the draft, a little knowledge in the ROTC field might be helpful. It isimmaterial to this reader whether we have ROTC on our campus. I only feel such articles insult theintelligence of the reader. If Mr. Bourasaw must write such articles, I suggest he confine his talents to the restroom walls, where he will find a captive reader. Ward Sondalle Speech therapy Bad bghtshow Editor: Who is in charge of running the spotlights for performances? it seems to me thatwhoever is in charge of this could become more adept at their skill. During the Ray Charles concert,there were many times when the soloists were not spotlighted. This is a college where peoplehandling this equipment should be striving for perfection rather than an amateur performance. TheRay Charles group is professional and should get service that is a little better than what was giventhem. If Western expects to keep big-name performers coming to our campus, we should be equipped to give them as much assistance as possible to make their performance a success.

These past two weeks havebeen hectic times for business and military recruiters all over the country. Campus planners apparentlyforesaw problems with dissenters because this year the military recruiters (r.) use the placement facilitiesto interview candidates. Meanwhile groups such as Students for Peace in Vietnam use the spot outsidethe coffee shop which recruiters have used in past years. 11 representatives set interviews here thisweek Editor in 1938 denounces war The following is an excerpt of an editorial written for the Nov. 10,1938, Collegian by Evan Hill, editor-in-chief. It is now included as a note about Armistice Day thisSaturday. Even in 1938, there were dissenters. The editorial read: And people celebrate ArmisticeDay, rejoicing that a war was stopped. They bow their heads in reverence for those who killed, or tried tokill, and were killed. That their sons, their leaders, their families, their very mothers, were allaccomplices to a wholesale murder plot, and a successful plot? That me world was insane for fouryears? That millions of people were slaughtered in the mud in the mad rush of patriotism? No! Theblind patriots feel warm inside from the blare of bands and a feeling of false heroism. They think that aservice has been done, that principles has been saved. Yes and they have been "saved." Severalmillions of these principles lie underneath white crosses in French graveyards today. Civilized man isproud of the fact that he has stopped killing. (But) He avoids the issue that he is a criminal, by feelingproud of the fact temporarily he is a law-abiding citizen. He has no remorse. He feels proud that he hasstopped killing and yet he will kill again. How can man celebrate Armistice when he is again wagingwar? "' Dr. Call likes 5-point grade system As an improvement to the present five-point gradingsystem, Dr. Donald Call, associate professor of sociology, suggests a three-point system. This scale would consist of A, highpass; B and C, pass; and D and F, fail "I seldom feel like I know the studentwell enough to rate him on a five point scale, when I feel that I could do him justice by the three pointone," said Dr. Call. He observed that one difficulty in the pass-fail system would occur when studentspass a non-major course in the pass-fail program, then later change their major to include that course.Call questioned how a required grade could later be assigned the course. v - i - i ,t.

NORTHWEST LIQUIDATORS 1318 CORNWALL OPEN FRIDAY NIGHTS UNTIL 9 Dance group depicts loneliness of life, man By RAYMOND MUSTOE Contributor The Anna SokolowDance performance Sunday night was like some fantastic excursion into inner space, into the darkest and deepest areas of the human soul. Expressing in dance all of the nameless sin, guilt, terror, agony,loneliness and isolation of our century, the Anna Sokolow company is like a twentieth century Dante.Their performance, Sunday, made a powerful statement of the spiritual lostness and longing of modernman as they expressed all of the emotion, all of the terror and pathos of the Inferno. Figures bent beneath burdens of sin and suffering beyond our comprehension. There was hate and violence, seduction andsensuality, madness, frenzied demonic possession, moments of love which brought agony as well asecstacy. Such figures have been met before in the mad etchings of Goya and the perverse fantasies ofBosch and Breugel. We travelled Sunday in the world of the Temptation of Saint Anthony and of MaryMagdeline possessed by Seven Devils. This is our madness, the insane asylum of the twentieth century.This is our Hell, Hell on earth, and the sins and suffering are worse than any in Medieval theology- worsemost of all because there is no paradise to aspire to, no hope of salvation We are lost in "The DarkNight of the Soul," and without the redeeming vision of Saint John of the Cross. We are an age doomedto a Hell of our own creation, a Hell of psychological fear, guilt, and anxiety, from which there is no hope.There are moments of love, tender but wrought with anxiety and they are over so quickly. We dance pasteach other, we dance in circles, never meeting, never touching. We are condemned to loneliness,spiritual isolation, lack of love for more than a mo ment. Such is life, and such is Anna Sokolowsportrayalof our lives. We are an age of violence and sensuality, the suffering soldiers, the closeness to death,contrasted to a world of cocktail trivia. POP art heroes and Campy comic strips. POW, ZAM, click click,and an age of automation, of a mechanical, dehumanized man. War, the machine, POP violence, realviolence, aimless trivial, a few moments for love, and then the anxiety, the isolation, the loneliness. The insanity. Anna Sokolow's company had a depressing but all too accurate view of life and our society. It was Hell, it was our madhouse Only when our eyes are opened to this fact can we expiate our own guiltand be relieved of sin and suffering. Perhaps Sunday's performance opened some eyes. says dorm keyabused sing.

McDonald, Meade quoted in 'Time7 long-hair essay Dean of Men Clyde McDonald andPsychology Professor Robert D. Meade see nothing wrong with long hair, according to quotations in last week's issue of "Time" magazine. The two men were interviewed by Miss Dolly Connelly for the"Time" essay, "Longer hair is not necessarily hippie," in the Oct. 27 issue. Miss Dolly Connelly, afreelance writer and Bellingham resident, contributes to many magazines. Dean McDonald said."We ignore it. We do absolutely nothing against long hair even if it's down to their heels." Professor of Psychology R. D. Meade was quoted as saying, "Perhaps man is coming into his biological destiny,suppressed in our Puritan milieu. It is the male in all nature, you know, who spreads his gorgeoustail feathers and erects his ruff for the inconspicuous little brown mate." Miss Connelly consulted men'shair stylists and psychologists in the Seattle, Portland and Bellingham area. Her research took oneweek. "Time" edited the 24-page manuscript to 1-page length. According to Miss Connelly, there isno way to tell how many other writers contributed to this essay. BOB'S Drive-ln Fish and ChipsHamburgers Complete Fountain Service Orders to go 519 £.

And men of leisure are never defident in the ingenuityneeded to enable them to outwit laws framed to regulate things whioS cannot be entirely forbidden . . . He who tries to determine everything by law will foment aime rather than lessen it." Spinoza The herbCANNABIS SATIVA, known as 'Marihuana' or "Hashish/ is prohibited under Federal and Washington state law. The maximum penalty for smoking cannabis in Washington state is twenty years imprisonmentand a fine of $10,000.00. Yet Cannabis appears to be among the least harmful of pleasure-givingsubstances, and is, in particular, far less harmful than alcohol. Study by Dr. W. H. McGlothlin (TheMarihuana Papers. Pages 4 0 9 , 4 1 2 , 4 1 3 ) has shown the injurious consequences of alcohol to be far more than any of marihuana. Cannabis is non-addictive. . . . .. The use of marihuana is increasing, andthe rate of increase is accelerating. Manhuana smoking is widespread in the universities, and the customhas been taken up by writers, teachers, doctors, businessmen, musicians, scientists and priests. Suchpersons do not fit the stereotype of tiie unemployed criminal dope fiend. The main justification for theprohibition of marihuana has been the contention that its use leads to heroin addiction. Marihuana isusually taken by normal persons for the purpose of enhandng sensory experience. When authoritiesprohibit marihuana, other people who seek to purchase it are forced to deal with persons outside the law.As a result of these illegal contacts, heroin may occasionally be offered to persons who would nototherwise have immediate access to i t It is the prohibition of marihuana, and not marihuana itself,however, which may contribute to heroin addiction. The present system of controls has stronglydiscouraged the use of marihuana preparations in medidne. ...... lt; .L We argue that claims which were formerly made for the effectiveness of marihuana in psychiatric treatment might now bear re-examinationin the light of modern views on drug therapy. This is witnessed in The Marihuana Papers by Dr. Z. T.Stockings, "A New Euphoriant for Depressive Mental States" and Drs. L. J. Thompson arid R. C. Proctor, "Pyrahexyl in the Treatment of Alcoholic and Drug Withdrawal Conditions." A case can also be made out for further investigation of the antibiotic properties of its cannabidiolic acid, one of the constituents of theherb. The possibility of alleviating suffering through the medical use of marihuana preparations should notbe dismissed because of prejudice concerning the social effects of drugs. The Government ought towelcome and encourage research into all aspects of marihuana smoking, but according to the law as itstands no one is permitted to smoke marihuana under any circumstances, and few exceptions are madefor scientific and medical research. It is preposterous that doctors who are entitled to prescribe opiumderivatives, amphetamines and barbiturates risk being sent to prison for personally investigating asubstance which is known to be less damaging than alcohol. A recent headline in "The (London) Times"called attention to the great danger of the 'deliberate sensationalism' which underlies the presentcampaign against 'drugs' and cautioned that: "Past cases have shown what can happen when press,police and public all |oin in a manhunt at a moment of national anxiety." In recent years the persecution of marihuana smokers has been intensified. Marihuana arrests in the United States were 7,000 in 1 9 6 4and 15,000 in 1966. The prohibition of marihuana has brought the law into disrepute and has demoralizedpolice officers faced with the necessity of enforcing an unjust law. Many persons have been arbitrarilydassified as criminals and threatened with arrest victimization and loss of livelihood. Many of them havebeen exposed to public contempt in the courts, abused by law and sent to prison. Attention has beencalled to instances where drugs have apparently been planted' on suspected marihuana smokers.Professor Leslie Fiedler aptiy describes a planting' situation in hisartide "On Being Busted A t Fifty," inThe New York Review of Books. Police have appealed to the public to inform on their neighbors andchildren. Yet despite these gross impositions and the threat to civil liberties which they pose, the policefreely admit that they have been unable to prevent the spread of marihuana smoking. Abuse of opiates,amphetamines and barbiturates has become a serious national problem, but very little can be done aboutit so long as the prohibition of manhuana remains in force. The police do not have the resources or themanpower to deal with both marihuana and the dangerous drugs at the same time. Furthermoreprohibition provides a potential breeding ground for many forms ot drag abuse and gangsterism. Similarlegislation in the 'twenties' brought the sate of alcohol under the control of an immensely powerful criminalconspiracy which still thrives today. Medical and professional opinion 1 "As a dergyman, I am deeplyconcerned over the effecls that the current prohibition is having on the young. They are losing all respectfor law and order and the authority of scientific researchers because unjust legislation is being used toenforce an unwritten Puritanical conformity, and because genuine research findings are unscientificallydistorted in their presentation for propagandistic purposes. Many of today's most intelligent andresponsible young people are equating the marihuana prohibition (at least) as equivalent to the Southernsegregationist laws They feel the only honorable course is to disobey the law—dvil disobedience of anonviolent Robert C. Swain, minister of Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship 2. "It is difficult to fashion aserious case against smoking marihuana except that a user will find himself in serious trouble if he iscaught by the police . . There is htt e evidence that marihuana damages the individuals who smoke it . .Similarly, there .s little basis for asserting that pot smoking is often a prelude to self-destructive or soaally damaging acts . . ." —Dr. Mervin B. Freedman, Chairman of the psychology department at SanFranasco State College, and Harvey Powelson, director of psychiatry at Cowell Memorial Hospital,University of Calif. 3 "There are no lasting ill-effects from the acute use of marihuana and no fatalities have ever been recorded . . . The causal relationship between these two events (marihuana smoking andheroin addiction) has never been substantiated. In spite of the once heated interchanges among members of the medical profession and law enforcement officers there seems h gt; bo a growing agreement withinthe medical community, at least, that manhuana does not directly cause criminal behavior, juveniledelinquency, sexual exdtement, or addiction. -Dr. J H. Jaffe, in The Pharmacological Basis ofTherapeutics, L Goodman and A. Gillman, Eds., 3rd 6d., l¥0». 4. "Certain specific myths requireobjective confrontation since otherwise they recurrently confuse the issue, and inddentally divert theenergy and attention of police and customs and immigration authorities in directions which have very littleto do with facts and much more to do with prejudiced beliefs. The relative innocence of marihuana bycomparison with alcohol is one such fact, its social denial a comparable myth." —Dr. David Stafford-Clark, Director of Psychological Medidne, Guy's Hospital. "The (u gt;ndonj.Times," April 12, 1967. 5"Marihuana is not a drug of addiction and is, medically speaking, far less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. . . It is generally smoked in the company of others and its chief effect seems to be an enhancedappredation of music and color together with a feeling of relaxation and peace. A mystical experience ofbeing at one with the universe is common, which is why the drug has been highly valued in Easternreligions. Unlike alajhol, marihuana does not lead to aggressive behavior, nor is it aphrodisiac. There is nohangover, nor, so far as it is known, an deleterious physical effect." —Dr. Anthony Storr. London's"Sunday Times, February 5, 1967. 6 "Marihuana is taken for euphoria, reduction of fatigue, and relief fromtension . . . (it) is a valuable pleasure-giving drug, probably much safer than alcohol." —Dr. Joel Fort,Consultant off Drug Addiction to the World Health Organization, Lecturer in School of Criminology,University ot California. From Blum, Richard Ed., Utopiates, 1965. 7. From the condusion: "The use ofmarihuana does not lead to morphine or heroin or cocaine addiction, and no effect is made to create amarket for these narcotics by stimulating the practice of marihuana smoking." —The Marihuana Problemin the City of New York, by the Mayor's Committee on Marihuana: The Sociological Study, Introduction by Dudley D. Schoenfeld, M.D. Reprinted in The Marihuana Papers. Bobbs-Merill, New York, 1966. 8. "Ithink we can now say that marihuana, does not lead to degeneration, does not affect the brain cells, isnot habit-forming, and does not lead to heroin addiction." —Dr. James H. Fox, Director of the Bureav ofDrug Abuse Control, U. S. Food and Drug Administration. Quoted Champaign, "Illinois News-Gazette,"August 25, 1966. 9. "I believe we should not make a felony case against a young person for possession of marihuana. Marihuana dearly-does not possess the inherent dangers of LSD, for example, and thepresent law imposes a very severe penalty. It is too severe." —Dr. James Goddard, Commissioner of theU.S. Food and Drug Administration. Quoted in The Vancouver Sun: Oct. 3, 1967. This ad is sponsoredby the Ad Hoc Committee for altering the laws on marihuana. Local correspondence may be sent to P.O.Box 1261, Bellingham, Washington. The signatories to this statement suggest to state and federallegislators a four point program of marihuana law reform: 1. FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTSSHOULD REMOVE ADMINISTRATIVE RESTRICTIONS ON RESEARCH AND MAKE EVERY EFFORTTO FACILITATE QUALIFIED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INTO THE BENEFICIAL USES OF MARIHUANA.(Solomon, D. The Marihuana Papers. Bobbs-Merrill, New York, 1966. Pages 394-395.) 2. POSSESSIONOF MARIHUANA FOR USE ON PRIVATE PREMISES SHOULD NO LONGER CONSTITUTE ACRIMINAL OFFENSE. (Ref. WASH. STATE LAW: TITLE 69.33.220, U. S. PUBLIC LAW: 591 (1954).3. MARIHUANA SHOULD NO LONGER BE DESIGNATED (P. L. 672) A "HABIT-FORMING NARCOTICDRUG", AND THE LAWS GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE OR POSSESSION WHICH DERIVE FROMTHIS DESIGNATION SHOULD BE REPEALED. THE DISTRIBUTION OF MARIHUANA SHOULD BELEGALLY CONTROLLED AND PERHAPS TAXED, BY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, BUT IN A WAYWHICH DOES NOT LIMIT INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM. 4 ALL PERSONS NOW IMPRISONED FORPOSSESSION OF MARIHUANA OR FOR ALLOWING MARIHUANA TO BE SMOKED ON PRIVATEPREMISES SHOULD HAVE THEIR SENTENCES (UNDER P. L. 591 AS AMENDED) REVIEWED INLIGHT OF THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO THE U. S. CONSTITUTION AND THE GROWING ATTITUDEOF SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE OF MARIHUANA. DISCLAIMER—Signatures should in no way be takento advocate usage of an illegal substance nor should they be taken to imply that the signatories haveused, are using, or wiH use an illegal substance.

CV5PE- SM6KJM' CLOSES SPAIN DAMAGE. J Energy independence goal of Jacksonbills by GREG COHEN Senator Henry M. Jackson told students and faculty here Wednesday that hewill return to Congress with a whole new package of energy bills designed to make the United Statesindependent of foreign powers for its energy needs. Among the bills will be measures designed to:—reform the tax subsidies now enjoyed by the major oil companies; —require all major oil companiesto come under federal chartering and regulation; —require full public disclosure as to oil companyprofits, reserves, stocks and operations; —increase domestic energy production by accelerating oildevelopment on the outer continental shelf and public lands, converting major electric utilities to coal, and by improving energy conservation and efficiency. "Above all we must find out how much of an effect thefuel shortage will have on our economy and what effect it will have on employment," the junior senatorfrom Everett said. "Added to this we must work closely with our partners in Europe so that theireconomies do not take a nose dive." A capacity crowd of 600 faculty and students jammed into thecollege lecture hall to hear Jackson's speech. Nearly six hundred more were turned away because oflack of space. Jackson reminded the audience that he had been at the forefront of the ecologymovement for years, "and sometimes it's been a lonely road." Optimistically, he mentioned the greatreserves of oil shale and geothermal power which could be developed to provide immediate energy andthe possibility of nuclear fusion, solar energy and hydrogen fuel as long-range energy sources. Jacksonwas making his first stop at Western on a swing across the state, making appearances while the 93rdCongress is in recess. Looking to the future and America's role, Jackson said, "We must provide a roadmap to the difficult period ahead. Without one we cannot do our job. "Sure we will be rebuilding America in the years to come, but what kind of America? Land use is the number one environmental question."Answering questions from the audience concerning other matters, Jackson said: —On Watergate: "Iwould point out that the revelations of yesterday now place the SENATOR SPARS WITH AUDIENCE -Henry Jackson took questions from the audience Wednesday. AS president John Wolfe, who worked onthe senator's staff in 1972, emceed the panel talk, —photo by Tore Oftness burden clearly on thePresident and the White House to overcome charges by experts. Let us see what the response will be." —On a superport: "I would prefer any superport in this area to be on the coast, the open ocean . . . sothat you avoid bringing them (supertankers) into the sound, the harbor areas." —On marijuana: " I 'mopposed personally to the repeal of the marijuana laws. I have seen enough' information to indicate that . . . over a period of time it does damage to the brain." In his concluding remarks, Jackson noted thatthere was a need for a working relationship between universities and large government labs to developnew energy sources. "But first the universities should identify the disciplines and areas where they canmake the best contributions and have the highest reservoirs of talents," he said. Goffz named fbesfState Representative H.A. "Barney" Goltz has been named "Best New Legislator" iby the Seattle Argus, a well-known Pacific Northwest independent weekly newspaper. Goltz, director of campus planning atWestern, was cited by the Argus for carrying the "battle to save higher education." Goltz achieveddistinction during the past year as a strong supporter of the state's institutes of higher learning in hiscriticism of proposed budget cuts for universities and colleges. Goltz serves as vice chairman of thestate house of representatives Higher Education Committee and chairman of the Ways and Meanssubcommittee oh Higher Education.

Three students have gt; been hired to make program work. See page 2. by CAROLYN HUGH Thirty-one of the state's public and private colleges anduniversities are represented in the membership of the newly-organized Washington Affirmative ActionOfficers Association (WAAOA). WAAOA chairperson and Affirmative Action officer Mary Robinson saidthat the WAAOA grew out of a need to organize state affirmative action officers into a group whoserecommendations carried some force. The WAAOA has asked to participate in the governor's study of astate-wide reclassification of college and university personnel which it contends reinforces the "prevailingwage theory" — salary discrimination against women and minorities. A study of the reclassification bythe University of Washington Affirmative Actioni office showed that women's salaries rose an average of2.6 per cent, while men's rose 6.23 per cent. ~ Western's Affirmative Action program is off to a goodstart, according to Robinson. Two complaints of salary discriminatiorl brought by women before theprogram's grievance committee have resulted in back pay of $2,000 and a three-step elevation on thesalary scale. Some minority faculty members targeted for layoff were reinstated by President Charles J. Flora when Robinson and administrative assistant Sue Nygaard found that their loss would have, harmed the "profile" of nrtinority faculty. Robinson and Nygaard have compiled an extensive computer bank ofdata about Western's faculty and staff — its composition by sex, race thing." and salary. A goal ofAffirmative Action is to assure that women and minorities are employed by Western MARY ROBINSONin the same proportions as they are available in the labor pool. Robinson is especially concerned aboutthe lack of minorities available in the faculty pool of PhD's. She's been traveling to area high schools,intent on recruitment. Nygaard has prepared some ^guidelines for the Presidential Search Committeeat.its request. She has also prepared information for the state Human Rights Commission, which isinvestigating past and present complaints of discrimination at Western. She is not surprised, that theinvestigation should come now, as Affirmative Action appears to be in full swing. "Just because we're ineffect," she said, "doesn't mean that all of our recommendations will be implemented." "People havebeen cooperative," said Robinson, "but Affirmative Action is a long-time ---------- Western Front - 1974 January 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Frpnt Friday, Jan. 18, 1974 Nash co-ed-living project has problems, Coy says Birth controloptions offered The Nash residence hall co-ed experiment which houses women on the fourth and fifthfloors of the traditionally male dorm, is having problems, according to Pete Coy, housing director. "Wedon't know yet what the problem is," Coy said. "It may be the concentration of freshmen in the dorm oran outgrowth of the new co-ed policy." The third floor of Kappa and similar mixed floor arrangementshave worked out very well, he added. "No problems," said resident aide Niel Tucker, "Nash does havethe reputation of being sort of rowdy, but it also has the highest ratio of rooms filled of any campusresidence hall." Resident aide Octavio Delgado said, "It's natural for freshmen to be noisier, they have alighter work load and more free time." The resident aides seem to agree that the physical damage to the building and the false fire alarms (four last quarter) are attributable to a few individuals, some of whomdo not live in the dorm. Seven faculty Fired Western's Board of Trustees, after its meeting last week,sent notices of termination, effective in June, to the following faculty members: Lee Dallas, Education;Stanley Goldstein, Education;. Sy Schwartz, Education; Leslie Spanel, Physics; Martha Symes, College of Ethnic Studies; Philip VanderVelde, Education; and Roy Whitaker, Geography. Also, theappointments of Jane Eheman and M. Alan Stellwagen of the Geography department were reduced tohalf-time. by PATT JOHNSON The Abortion Referral Project, designed to provide a variety of services toWhatcom County women, opened in Bellingham Monday. The project will be open 5-8 p.m. Mondays; 2-5 p.m. Thursdays and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays. If the demand proves great enough, additional hours will be added, according to Nancy Bock and Vicki Roy, two workers at the project. Services provided at theproject include counseling, explanation of methods of abortion, alternatives such as adopting, informationon where to get pregnancy tests and information on all types of birth control. Help is available foremotional problems arising from an unwanted pregnancy. The project also offers information on the leastexpensive, safest and most sympathetic doctors. Physicians in Bellingham and Seattle have beeninterviewed about their techniques, prices and sympathies. The project also has feedback forms so theycan continue to check on the practices of doctors. Another service provided is the patient advocate. If awoman lacks a friend or someone who can accompany her to a doctor, someone from the clinic will goalong to provide moral support. Bock and Roy said that the project provides an objective look at the prosand cons of abortion for a woman who is trying to get away from her immediate circle of friends andpressures to make her own decision. They stressed that there are no pressures from the project to doone thing or another. "Our only bias is that we want the woman to make her own decision," Bock said.Roy and Bock said the project formed when local women came together because of mutual interestsconcerning abortion. They have interviewed doctors and nurses and have attended counseling trainingsessions. They hope if the need for abortions is proved to Bellingham doctors, an abortion clinic will beset up sometime in the future. Other goals include lobbying for women's rights regarding abortion,keeping existing abortion laws from being repealed and working for the rights of minors. There will be ameeting for all women interested in doing counseling and referrals at 3 p.m. today at 340 S. Forest.Phone 733-9211 for additional information. AARDVARK.

Info, desk or HH 244B, Tim Hoyt. byBERNIE THOMAS Although the paper recycling program is still in its infant stage, its sponsors feel itwill be the most successful on-going project of its type to date on campus and perhaps in the state. The project will also bring a financial return from the sale of salvageable paper - to Georgia-Pacific, About50„per cent of the academic departments on campus are participating in the program sponsored bycentral stores in cooperation with Huxley College. Al Miller, campus office machine repairman, is incharge of the project. In addition, the program has provided employment for three students who workwith Miller to make sure the paper is collected. According to. Miller, when a department ^feels it hasenough paper ready for pick-up, it calls him. Miller said so far his biggest customers are the businessdepartment, library and computer center. " In the five or so months the project has been -in operation,the combined: departments average 1.89 tons of paper per week," Miller said. Central stores recentlycompleted a pilot study on the recycling of salvageable paper products „. gt;: from certaindepartments on campus. Senate shorts The results, aside from an ecological advantage, includereduced garbage collection rates, more time for other housekeeping duties by custodians and enoughincome from the sale of the paper to eventually make the operation self-sustaining. Miller said therehave been problems in finding.containers to put the paper in. He hopes that central stores can find aused baler to bale the paper because the paper company pays more for baled than boxed recyclables.The rate has been changing, but the present rate paid to the school for what is called "office mixedwastes" is $15 per ton. The same thing baled costs $25 per ton. Asked how he got the job, Miller said,"The paper recycling idea was my boss' (Bill Stolcis of general services). He wanted to see if we couldwork up a program, and since then his idea has been mushrooming." "A majority of the peopleparticipating were thinking about doing something like this anyway," he said "and would rather throwpaper into a recycling box than in the garbage can." According to the central stores study, skyrocketing costs of all paper products, increased order lead times and unavailability are already being experiences by Western. Successor's selection sought Procedural questions for selecting President Charles J.Flora's successor were referred to a sub-committee at the All-College Senate meeting Monday night.Flora notified the Board of Trustees last spring that he will remain president no later than September,1975. The committee to handle the matter will be composed of three people appointed by the executivecommittee of the senate. The search procedures will guide the selection of all future administrators, notjust the president. The senate also moved to provide all senators with copies of all recommendations for changes in the senate's constitution and to place all changes on the agenda of the next meeting. Thesenate also accepted the resignation of Senators Donald Ferris, Robert Quigley and Kathleen Carroll-Farris. In its first meeting 'of the Winter quarter, the senate also moved to direct the College ServicesCouncil to form a committee to look into the possibility of consolidating some Health and CounselingCenter services. ---------- Western Front - 1974 January 18 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, Jan. 18, 1974 Western Front 3 ..-THE CONVERSATIONS YOU ARE ABOUT TO' HEAR ARETRUE.

At least this many, possibly as many as 1000, other interested people wereturned away. Why? Why wasn't the music auditorium scheduled for Scoop's speech, instead of L-4?Ralph Nader in 1971 and Bickminster Fuller in 1973 drew nearly 3000 people to Carver gym. Dan Evanspacked the V.U. lounge with 800 in 1972. Jackson's stature and public image is greater than any ofthese. He has made headlines nearly every day. He is probably running for president. The Front and theBellingham Herald said the public was invited. Yet when they came, they were not provided for.Apparently, Jackson requested a smaller space to be in the presence of students and be able to answertheir questions. His staff was also allegedly concerned about security in the M-A. So people packed like sardines into L-4. Campus fire marshal I Charles Martin admitted it was unsafe but, "When you've got aman of Jackson's caliber you can't just go in and stop the thing and say get out of here." Western'spresident Charles Flora admitted, "I erred in underestimating the total interest in the program." If he'dknown, he said, he would have made a stronger case for a larger room. As it was, classes were movedfrom L-4 to the M-A. L-4 was overstuffed and unsafe. Five hundred to 1000 people were disappointed.Whose fault? Who's to say? Probably Jackson's staff. • • • • The speech and Q-A are onvideotape in the Ed-Media Center and available to any group. • • • • When Jackson planned atrip here in 1970, shortly after Kent State, advance security men calJed it off due to threats on his life.He was heckled at W.S.U. this year.

Being the largest department on campus, the magnitude of the reductions in eduction wasstaggering. We were required to reduce faculty from the present allocation of 58.75 to 48 for the nextyear, while at the same time making provision to absorb 6.25 faculty now working under funded grants or on leave-a total required reduction of about 17. The fact that the^ department has accomplished thiswith, to date, only four terminations is indeed remarkable. The department hopes to be able to supportsome staff through renewed grants and off-campus classes so that by the end of the year even fewerterminations may be necessary. The details of the reduction of 17 with only four terminations areprobably not of interest to your readers. However, it should be noted that these reductions includeretirements, resignations, a cut-back in the hiring of public school personnel to assist with studentteachers and the elimination of September faculty for student teaching. It may still be necessary toterminate or reduce assignment for one or two lecturers hired on a year-to-year basis. For the sake ofthe record, may I also clarify my reported "termination." The only notice I have received comes fromFather Time, not President Flora. Don Ferris, acting chairman, education Dollar mightier than abilityEditor, Western Front: It seems strange that in trying to prepare those who will shape the future bynurturing the minds of tomorrow, the layoff of five excellent professors occurs in the educationdepartment.

The end of the year 1973 (phew!) changed that fora lot of those people, including myself. People were caught with their defenses down (not to mention depants) as the 1973 fuel allocations dried, or rather burned,_up. The holiday season made many peoplepainfully aware of this, as they tried to drive from one area to another. I spent part of the holidays in theTri-Cities, blissfully unaware, with a newly filled tank, of the impending situation. In a matter of a fewdays, Richland became the driest city for gasoline in Washington. By the time I figured this out, I wasrunning on fumes and every station in town was empty. After a couple of hours of inquiry, perhapsdesigned by the deity to sharpen my skills for investigative reporting, I managed to locate two gasstations, outside town, which had gas. Could I make it? If I was to carry through with plans to drive toPortland the next day, I had to. I made it the five miles, and my 10.6 tank gulped 10.5 gallons of fuel from the pump. My tank filled, I proceeded to squander a few pints, or rather trade a few pints, of gas for a few pints of alcohol with friends. It was more gas spent than I intended. The next day, my heart sank as Irealized part way to Portland that unless I got gas, I wouldn't reach my destination. But I had to get therefor employment interviews. I pulled into town after town, and finally ran into one of the three gas stationsopen on Oregon's Interstate 80. I filled up, thankful to pay the 52.9 cents per gallon. Well, not exactlythankful. Oregon, I knew from news reports, was critically gas-short. On my way through Portland, Ispotted a tanker refilling a station downtown. That was a stroke of luck. I knew where I could get gas thenext morning. I spent two and a half hours the next day waiting in line for gas at that station. People were surprisingly patient; some were surprisingly dense. Not surprisingly, the station manager was frazzledand burnt at the ones who couldn't figure out how to keep the lines flowing smoothly. I offered him someaspirin, but he slowly smiled, relaxed visibly, and said that wasn't the kind of headache he had. I was.inline for two and a half hours behind an older woman who idled her Buickjhe whole time, even though wewere stopped dead for 20 minutes to a half hour at a time. The incomprehension of some people seemedironic. This is the first installment of a column designed to answer people's questions concerningenvironmental problems and the energy crisis.

As program commissioner, Von Veh hasbeen responsible for the wealth of entertainment at Western this year. In just one quarter he has brought more talented musicians to Bellingham than the campus has seen for at least the last two yearscombined. The Michael Bloomfield, John Prine, Bonnie Riatt, the Paul Winter Consort, Weather Reportand Ry Cooder performances not only packed the concert halls, but have drawn nearly unanimous ravesfrom the audiences. But these superb performances will probably soon be forgotten if Von Veh continuesto bring such outstanding musicians to campus. Von Veh warns he is "going to be exercising greatercaution this quarter" so he can break even^ financially this year, but with Randy Newman, Michael Whiteand a "rock and roll surprise" still coming this quarter, the campus won't be lacking in quality concerts.Von Veh modestly attributes his success to the "fantastic audiences" and to getting the "pulse of thecity." However, producing a successful concert on the program commission's modest budget requires alot of hard work. The small, poster-covered program commission office bustles with activity as a concertdraws near. Von Veh often resembles a nervous, silent movie actor as he scurries between the telephone and conversations with several people at once. Between carrying a full academic load, serving on theAssociated Students Board of Directors and spending an estimated 40-60 hours per week as programcommissioner, Von Veh is probably the busiest student on campus. However, he still retains theenthusiasm for his job that he had when he was named commission head last June. "The audienceresponse (to the concerts) has. NILS VON VEH — Western's program commissioner] must give a goodshow l i v e . . . " — photo by Tom Aller made my job worth doing," Von Veh said. "People have justbeen incredible." And indeed they have. John Prine and Bonnie Riatt were both visibly moved with theaudience response during their Western concerts. Ry Cooder said the Bellingham concert (his first inyears) renewed his faith in concerts, according to Von Veh. The audience response hasn't just been luck, bee though. Much credit must be given to Von Veh poc for his excellent judgement. He has constantlychosen excellent but relatively little-known musicians. Von Veh says he has two main requirements forperformers: "They must give a good'show live and they must like to perform."

'Little Murders' farcical film of New Yorkjungle When Jules Feiffer wrote "Little Murders" in 1966 and presented it on Broadway little did he know that the absurdity of big city dwelling would become more of a reality and good material for a screenplay. Directed by Alan Arkin, in his motion picture directorial debut, "Little Murders" becomes anintense comic-horror on screen. The story takes place in the chaotic violence of New York city wherePatsy Newquist (Marcia Rodd) meets Alfred Chamberlain (Elliott Gould) after rescuing him from a gangof thugs. A romance begins to blossom amidst an asphalt jungle while violence and insanity steadilygrows. Lights fail and conversation continues; burning buildings, corpses toted down the street, andobscene phone calls are an everyday occurance.

STRANGELOVE •JANE EYRE •TUGBOAT ANNIE m by JACK BROOMQuick. Think back to your high school math class; what do you remember? Chances are you rememberit as being either tedious, boring or difficult, and quite likely it was. But do you remember that it was alsonon-ecological, encouraged waste of valuable resources and threatened the well-being of our entirenation? Of course, you don't. Because when you went to high school, the energy crisis hadn't beeninvented yet. You. were perfectly content to sit back and compute how long it would take Mr. Jones todrive from New York to Los Angeles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour, with no regard for suchdetails as whether or not he would be able to get gas in Omaha or whether 60 m.p.h. was the mostefficient speed for his car's engine, or whether, in fact, the trip was really necessary at all. No, chancesare all you remember is trying to figure out what to let x equal, or why Pythagorean's Serum was used intriangles instead of in the treatment of polio, and why the instructor kept trying to tell you that pie aresquared when you knew all your life that pie actually are round. When I went home during Christmasbreak I had the occasion to help my younger sister with several math problems, and when I read them Iwas shocked. From beginning to end, every one of them revolved around waste, over-consumption andpollution. For example, the first one wanted to know how much oil must be added to 20 gallons of asolution that is 90 per cent gasoline and 10 per cent oil in order to prepare a solution that is 15 per centoil. Holy Energy Crisis! What in heaven's name are they planning to do with a solution of 80 per centgasoline and 20 per cent oil? Sure, it would burn in an automobile engine, but it would leave a big enough trail of blue smoke to choke half the population of Bellingham. After that the next question lookedinnocent enough. It read: " I f the average of three consecutive odd integers is four more than one-half ofthe total of their reciprocals plus three, how big is the smallest of the original integers divided by seven."Admittedly, it's confusing- But I was glad to see a problem that didn't involve computing the results ofsome massive energy waste. So I put down my pencil, took a break and figured that my sister couldhandle this one by herself. But when I came back in the room 15 minutes later, I saw that thecomputations necessary to complete that innocent-looking problem took up more paper than theCongressional Record for the last five years! At the height of our paper shortage, teachers are assigningtheir students to go home and use up every available scrap of paper simply to discover that x equals1.00393%. Preposterous! From there on the questions got worse. It seemed like the only thingmathematics is used for is to help out in squandering all the natural resources left on the planet. Finallywe came to the final problem: it was the old standard: "A hot water tap can fill a bathtub in eight minutes. The cold water tap can fill it in six minutes and the drain takes four minutes to empty it. How long will ittake to fill the tub if both faucets are left on." "Oh, that one," my sister commented,'"it doesn't work. Wetried it yesterday in the bathtub. We had the faucets wide open for four hours before we gave up.Everything got wet and we ran out of hot water, but the tub never filled up."•WBBMMUMIIHUI1IUMJIIH—MIIHIIWl ---------- Western Front - 1974 January 18 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, Jan. 18, 1974 Western Front 7 Vik 'Big D' stops Saints by DENNIS RITCHIE Belittling St.Martins' 97-points per game average by almost half, the Western basketball team came from behind toshut off St. Martins 62-53 Tuesday night in Carver gym.

Western coach ChuckRandall praised junior forward Dick Bissell for his play on Tuesday. "He played just fantastically,"enthused Randall. Bissell took scoring honors with 21 points and also made eight rebounds and fourassists. Randall also lauded guard Jim Hotvet and forward Keith Lowry. He observed, "Hotvet is reallycoming on strong to complement Chuck Price, the Viks' captain and starting guard. Lowry is "becominga great substitute." The very physical game became even more physical toward the end as Sheets and Vik Rob Visser were simultaneously ejected with five fouls with 3:04 left. Randall claimed that Sheetswas caught punching Visser. Sheets was taken to the hospital after the game to check on a possiblebroken hand suffered in that altercation.

Management personnel and union members intimated thenthat Christmas sales would force the other side to capitulate in the interests of a quick settlement. Butas.the strike drags on, many picketers recall an old adage that says, "a strike will last three days, threeweeks, or three months," according to Al Roberts, head of local 240, Retail Clerks Union. KayeFaulkner, president of Western's chapter of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), said themembers of the teachers' union support the strikers and many have joined the picket lines downtown. " I t behooves faculty, students and administration to support the pickets in our own interests," Faulknersaid. The clerks' union has been particularly active in organizing the Whatcom County unions in support of the AFT at Western, Faulkner said. The union is asking for a salary increase of 35 cents an hour the first year and a 30 cents an hour cost of living supplement the next year. The Bon Marche has offered a raise of 16 cents an hour for three years. The Bon is also Browse but don't buy says i strike committee The Bon Marche Strike Support Committee has been on campus recruiting participants for 'shop-ins' atthe Bon Marche in downtown Bellingham. A shop-in was held last Saturday and the committeeencourages people to shop-in whenever possible, Todd Jefferson, English graduate student, said lastFriday. "Shopping-in" means going through all the motions of a customer without purchasing anything.Handling and inspecting merchandise, trying on clothing and rummaging through sales tables are typical of normal customers, and it creates work for the sales clerk, Sect predicts U. S. end A foretelling of the destruction of the United States on Jan. 31 is seeing members of the Children of God religious sectleaving America. The prophecy by the sect's founder and prophet, Moses David, is vague on the exactcircumstances of the disaster. "We're not exactly sure of the nature of it," said Aaron, leader of thelllicum colony. "But many people will die." In reference to the comet Kahoutek, Aaron said, " I t is awarning from God. That's what he's been doing through us for the last three years." "Comets havealways been a forewarning of some kind of disaster. For instance in 1910 came Haley's comet. Then,just four years later came World War I." Most Children of God members have left America for Canada,Mexico, or Hawaii, where they supposedly will be safe from the catastrophe. bellingham businessTpewiters m Q C n i n e S Adding Machines, 1410 Commercial 734-3630 Sales, Service, and RentalsSPECIAL STUDENT RATES ON RENTALS The New CABIN TAVERN As usual our Unusual largeschooners • color TV • pool • pinball HAPPY HOUR EVERY NITE • sandwiches 1213Cornwall • homemade chili Cindy at the taps RETAIL CLERKS STRIKE - Picketters urge "shopping-in' Boh Marche but no purchasing. - photo by Tom Allen the Prof takes county post James Newman,Huxley professor, has been named coordinator of a regional shoreline management advisory committee.

David Gadwa, James Laxdal and Doan were nominated for the AS presidency and will all be on the ballot in next Wednesday's election. John Ward outpolled Greg Baker in the vice presidential nomination. Both will be on the ballot. Ruth McConnell was also nominated for the position, but shedeclined. College President Charles J. Flora opened the convention with his keynote addressWednesday night and urged the delegates to, "listen (to the candidates) . .. hear and understand whatthey say." The delegates did listen to what the candidates said, and selected 10 nominees to fill the five legislative openings. Legislative candidates who will be on the ballot include Gail Denton, Wally Oyen,Jim Eberhart, Neil Porter, Gary Evans, Pat Shallow, Bruce Gaza way, Jon Walker, Bob Partlow andReed Craig. Anyone can write-in their own candidate for any office at the election, AS President NoelBourasaw said. The write-in candidate's first and last name must be spelled correctly in order for the vote to be valid gt; he added. Sen. Martin Durkan (D-Issaquah) gave the keynote speech Thursday night.During a short recess after his talk, the senator spoke informally with small groups of students on hisplans and ideas for state government. Delegations at the convention were designated by living areas:on-campus dorms and halls, approved housing and other off-campus living groups. After the nominations Wednesday the delegations submitted legislative- motions and Thursday the convention passed someof the bills, with the delegates acting as the Legislative body. Due to lack of time, the convention moved to postpone consideration of 10 of the bills proposed. The convention will reconvene to vote on theremaining bills at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. the western front Vol. LXI No. 21 Western Washington StateCollege Belllngham, Washington 98225 Tues.

Due to thehigher-than-expected interest in legislation and the long amount of time the process was taking, theconvention delegates voted to finish the debate this week. Seven bills were passed by the 200 delegates present last Thursday and 10 bills remain to be considered. Bills to be considered include one to keepthe Campus Christian Ministry house standing, and one bill to make public action of student government agencies. Others demand answers to specific questions about the bookstore, ask pressure to beexerted against landlords who require year-long rent contracts, endorse non-violent dissent and suggestthe formation of an interclass council. Still others endorse the reconstructioning of activities by studentgovernment, ask for re-evaluation of general education requirements, request information concerninglighting around Carver gymnasium and urge the formation of a central campus ticket box office.Delegates who attended the two-day session last week will be the first admitted to Thursday'sconvention, but anyone else may sign up as a delegate at the VU desk before 7 pjn. Thursday, to fill anyempty seats in his living group delegation. Delegates will be allocated according to the same rules aslast week's convention and the total may not exceed the number present at the final roll-call on lastWednesday night. photos by o*brien, finley ---------- Western Front - 1969 April 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, A p r i l ! 5, 1969 W h t I g y W. n RICHARD W. FONDA assistantprofessor of ecology It is easy to define ecology. To u n d e r s t a n d the implications of the definition(and of this cartoon) is a little more difficult. Ecology is defined as the study of the interrelationships oforganisms and their controlling environment. The term interrelationship in our definition implies that there is a delicate, proper balance between organisms and their environment as long as the ecologicalsystem is in equilibrium. The system we are interested in here is called the ecosystem, It may bedefined as an energy-driven organization of organisms and its controlling environment. (Notice that thisdefinition closely parallels our cuxu Just received new shipment of formats party dresses Formats -$19.95 -$49.95 Party dresses from $14.95 telle IriJal a J forma[ licjppe basic definition of ecology.) The ecosystem is the basic unit of study in ecology, for it comprises individual organisms, populations, andcommunities, and furthermore relates them to their functions of producing and consuming substances.In the balanced ecosystem, these substances are originally produced by plants, passed on to animalsthrough food chains, and ultimately decomposed to simple chemicals which are used again in theprocess. Energy turns the gears of this machine-like process. In the ecosystem that is not in balance,something in the cycle breaks down. Commonly that something is the decomposition of thesesubstances, and thus these substances accumulate. Whenever this happens, and if the substances are harmful, we have pollution. If pollution becomes severe, the cycle may completely stop. Because allorganisms are interrelated with one another and with their controlling environment, an upset of thisbalance-pollution—affects each and every one of them. Often, it doesn't affect them directly. Rather,events are set in motion which are analagous to a row of dominoes falling down. For example, thepesticide DDT accumulates in bays on Long Island. Minute plants passively incorporate DDT into theirsystems. These minute plants are a source of food for clams, and thus they get the DDT. Seagulls eatclams, and they end up with the DDT. Now, DDT was originally sprayed in the bays to controlmosquitoes, yet the minute plants, the clams, and the seagulls end up with it.

Champion -734-1213 Now two locations to serve you and all your stereo needs. Tapedecks—components—extensive speaker systems. One of the basic points brought out byunderstanding ecological balance is that "we can't do only one thing." In this example, we can't onlyspray DDT to kill mosquitoes. By doing this (or any other polluting act) an entire chain of events is set in motion that has far-reaching consequences. Ultimately, then, ecology is an attempt to define theintricate balance of the ecosystem, so that we can understand and predict the consequences of ouractions that might disrupt this beautiful balance of nature. Student-faculty forum visits marine site TheBiology Student-Faculty Forum (BSFF) is planning a field trip on Sunday, April 20, to the new marinesite at Shannon Point near Anacortes, Cheryl Miller, BSFF president, said. The site, recentlypurchased by Western, will hopefully be in use by the 1970-71 school year, Miss Miller said. Whencompleted Shannon Point will have lab facilities for biology and other science courses and can house200 students while they are on projects. Students going on the picnic should bring a sack lunch.Swimming and diving are allowed at Washington Park but no collecting. All interested students arewelcome. Cars will leave in front of Haggard Hall at 10 a.m. There is a sign-up sheet in the biologydepartment for rides and riders. ---------- Western Front - 1969 April 15 - Page 3 ---------- Bourasaw calls conference between trustees, students Tuesday, Apr Western's Board of Trustees willmeet informally with the AS Legislature at 2 p.m. today to discuss student violence on campus and howto prevent it. The meeting, called by AS President Noel Bourasaw, will be held in VU 208 and is open to all student and faculty members. Last quarter's display of a Viet Cong flag on campus by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the skirmish that followed will be the major topic of discussion. Severalpersons received minor injuries when a small group of dissenting students attempted to remove the flagfrom an SDS stand in front of the Viking Union. The Trustees followed suit with a formal writtenstatement which has been the basis for considerable local debate. The Trustees' statement said: "TheBoard of Trustees of WWSC condemns violent action of any type and reminds all students that collegedisciplinary rules forbid such conduct." SDS members on campus have charged that the statement i n d i r e c t l y gives campus administration officials the impetus to disallow and censure any materials ordisplays on campus which could lead to student violence. Today's meeting will be the basis for informaldebate on the subject, AS President Bourasaw said. Late this month two students, Lynn Osier, formerchairman of the Silent Majority, and George Hartwell, member of the Radical Coalition, will meet with the trustees on violence. "They will submit a resolution, based on those discussions with the trustees, forpossible adoption by the AS Legislature," Bourasaw said. Faculty adopts resolution The Faculty Council adopted the following resolution April 3: "Whereas the Faculty Council deplores violence on the collegecampus as incompatible with the aims of the college, nevertheless, the Faculty Council does notendorse the March 13 resolution of the Board of Trustees and requests them to rescind that resolution."Furthermore, the Faculty Council urges the President of the college to communicate the Council'sresolution to the Board of Trustees and to inform them that the Faculty Council is always available fordirect communication on matters that affect the college community." President Charles J. Flora sent amemorandum to the Council in which he proposed "a college commission to investigate and recommend on matters of violence." Suggested membership for the commission includes two faculty membersappointed by the Faculty Council and two students appointed by the AS Legislature. F l o r a ' smemorandum continued, "Because the matter so clearly involves the community external to thecollege, 1 would recommend that two members be drawn from outside, appointed by the Board ofTrustees; and one individual appointed by the President, to serve as chairman. The proposedcommission would "recommend an institutional posture having to do with violence." Following ratification by the Faculty Council and the AS Legislature, the recommendation would be sent to the President. C. Wampy Bourasaw, of "Champion," as he is sometimes known, was unanimously acclaimed honoraryA.S. president by last week's nominating convention. Experts on such matters agree that this makes him THE BDOC (Big Dog on Campus). —photo by finley AS publicity service to spread word The ASpublicity service, designed to enable students to advertise campus events more effectively, is now inoperation in VU 9. The publicity service has two available types of signs which can be ordered topublicize any event. The signs can be ordered through Bob Partlow on the third floor of the Viking Union. Linoscribe signs which are H"xl4" can be ordered in different colors of cardboard and ink, as well asvarious type styles. The cost of linoscribe signs is $2.25 for the first five and 15c each for the rest. Silkscreen signs are available in 1, 2, or 3 colors, and come in a large and small size, 15"x24" and 1 l"xl4"respectively. A minimum of 25 small signs may be ordered for $8.00 and large signs cost $39.00 per100. The signs are made on a linoscribe and two silk screens which are owned by Western. Thisservice is operated by AS funds. Concrete's dust settles, town dances The average man has finally wona round in the mounting battle against air pollution. The Lone Star cement plant at Concrete, a smallcommunity in upper Skagit County, has been shut down. Townspeople, for years living in a communityblanketed by chalky dust spewn from the plant's dominant smokestack, manned pushbrooms Saturdayto sweep the streets. While Concrete gains a more attractive appearance, it has lost a major industry inthe process. Upwards of 200 men out of a total town population of 700 were employed at the plant. Butthe inhabitants of Concrete knew it was coming. It is speculated that pressure applied by state pollution control authorities to install costly anti-pollution measures at the plant led to its economic downfall. But Concrete elementary school librarian Margaret Stadlman, who doubles as mayor, is optimistic about her town's future, despite the loss. "With a cleaner community we can attract the kind of people who would want to make our town their permanent home." Those men who weren't employed in the cement plantworked in the logging industry. The unemployed in Concrete are turning to the county's other industriesto provide for their families. Some have taken jobs at one of Seattle City Light's three major hydro-electric power plants on the Upper Skagit River east of Concrete. Others have looked to the loggingindustry. Very few are choosing to move out of town now that the dust is gone.

On thesurface, the magnitude of this demand would seem to indicate that improvements in the system will soon be instituted. This is not the case. Quality education, as well as any other needed programs, costmoney. Money appears to be the thing our citizens are least likely to part with. This is rather unfortunate since they will be the first to feel the pinch when the educational system finally falls below the"acceptable" level. The dividing line between acceptable and unacceptable has never been defined. Thisis due to the fact that the ability of the system to survive under adverse conditions has never been testedto the extent that it is now. The state legislature appears to be interested in testing the collapse factor of the education system, especially higher education. This is easily accomplished by not appropriating asufficient amount of money to maintain the present standards. There are several reasons why thelegislature has selected education as the thing to axe. The first is that there is not enough money in thestate coffers due to the archaic tax structure. Some budget needs to be cut. The second reason is thatmany students are not happy with the way things have been going and have indicated their disapproval.The response by the legislature was to make certain that things will go even worse in the future throughtheir refusal to appropriate the necessary funds for colleges and universities. Perhaps all that needs tobe said regarding this matter is; keep up the good work fellows, it won't be long before the usually placidmajority of students will become fed up with your playing politics with their future and take action. JerryField Orchids to Olympia There are some men in the state legislature who renewed hope in individualstudents that the legislative process was valid for students. Although they do not compose a majoritythese men showed patience, kindness and understanding to a degree that was not expected of apolitician seeking to preserve his office in a sometimes reactionary district. A special vote of thanksmust go to Senator Martin Durkan who worked all year to get his bill for student trustees through theSenate Higher Education Committee. Outside the legislature, Governor Dan Evans should becongratulated for submitting a similar executive request. Other senators who co-sponsored Durkan's BillNo. 232 were Joe Stortini, Robert Ridderand Larry Faulk. Senators who sponsored the Evans' executiverequest Bill No. 378 were Richard Marquardt, Wes Uhlman, Charles Elickerand Durkan. House members who aided us include Hugh Kalich (AS Legislator Gordy Kalich's father), Frank Brouillet, Gary Grant,George Fleming, Ted Bolliger, Dave Cecarelli, Jim Gallagher, Dick Kink (Whatcom County), Dick King,Mark Litchman and Harold Wolf. Fred Dore was another senator who expressed interest. All of thesemen stretched their necks out to recognize student desires and help us. We in student government wishyou would help them regain office whenever their terms are up. Noel Bourasaw AS president . . . toomany people Berry Pie and Word jam PAUL BERRY contributor My first response for this q u a r t e rwas a student complaining about the congestion in the foyer and outside of the lecture halls at classchange time. This is apparently due to students, who are waiting for their class to begin, standingoutside the doors, thus making it hard for the students already in the rooms to leave. His suggestionwas that the. administration post a person in this area to keep people who are coming to class awayuntil five minutes before the hour. He asks if this is feasible and whether they are likely to agree. Myanswer is this. It might be feasible, though I rather doubt students would listen to someone telling themto go away for five or ten minutes. I can almost certainly say, however, that the administration is notlikely to agree. It would cost them money, and they would have the same doubts I have. There are other possible solutions to the problem, I think. The main problem is in people already in class leaving thearea. Students waiting to get into class can not come in the exit- only doors for each hall. These leadout to areas other than the foyer. If students in class would leave by these exits there would be a muchless problem. Perhaps an announcement to that effect could be made by each of the instructors thisweek. I have been at this school almost four years now and have carefully followed all the AS electionsthat have happened in that time period. One thing about those elections very much annoys me. I hear agreat deal about student apathy and yet I see that the campaigns reinforce that apathy. First of all, itcan not be said that students are uninvolved in general, only that they are uninvolved in studentgovernment as they see it. If one looks around, he will quickly discover that most students are doingsomething. Besides going to their classes and studying, students are active in a variety of differentthings. I know one girl in Mathes who is building a guitar. At least one hundred students show someactivity and involvement in drama on this campus. The problem, then, is why they don't get involved with student government and its activities, particularly the elections. If one looks at the nature of pastcampaigns from the point of view of a student who is not aware of student government activities, itbecomes much easier to understand why. The election winter quarter, for instance, drew very littleattention from the campus. It also did not say anything; that is, those who ran the campaigns put upsigns with nothing but a name on them asking for votes. No one said anything about their views to thenewspaper, the only universal medium on campus. They scheduled talk sessions in the dorms but didnothing to stimulate people to come. The picture the uninvolved student gets of the election because ofthis is one of a political game of elections leading to another political game of government. Neither arereal or important to him. The result is that he pays them no attention, does not go to hear candidatesspeak and usually does not vote. In other words he is apathetic. I certainly do not blame him. If,however, no sign went up without saying something about what the candidate believes in; if candidatesmade sure their views and concerns were expressed to the campus via the newspaper; if they urged thestudents to come hear them speak about their concerns; and if everything they did said they took whatthey were doing seriously, the uninvolved student would get a much different picture of the election andthe government it results in. They would have something to which they could identify and with whichthey could become involved. Essentially what I am saying is that those running for office have tended tounderrate the intelligence and sensitivity of the students on t^his campus. Only by correction of thiskind of misconception will student government and its elections every really have meaning to most of the students. Remember, anyone can leave me a note on what they would like explained or looked into.Just drop it off at the Western Front office in the basement of the Viking Union or in the AS offices. ---------- Western Front - 1969 April 15 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, A p r i l ! 5, 1969 Western Front 5 "HAMBURG ALLEY"-Two superimposed negatives, taken atthe corner of Holly and Indian Sts., show a part of Bellingham's "neon pollution," including a largecontribution from the college.

The race will involve three heatswith the riders who average the most wins taking the trophies. There will be three classes; lOOcc,250cc, and open, or unlimited class. Riders must have lights removed, a helmet and preferably a number plate, he added. The event is the start of a whole program of events MBMC will sponsor, Haard said.Starting May 17, there will be a Tourist Trophy (T.T.) race every Saturday.

The amount of money involved is really small compared to the AWS budget of$4,992 and the total budget of the Associated Students which is $165,000. The present controversy isnot centered on the amount budgeted to the BSU, but whether the AS government should have budgeted the BSU at all. Many critics of our action say that it is reverse racism and discrimination and that theAS government is helping to p o l a r i z e the c ollege community—Black against White. To both ofthese arguments I say, "Hogwash." The budgeting of the BSU from the AS funds is working to establish the BSU as part of the Associated Students working under the framework of AS government. If the ASgovernment had not budgeted the BSU, this act, in itself, would have been the greatest thing to drive theBSU outside the existing established organization of the Associated Students. Then we would indeedbe forming two competing organizations, one Black and one White. It is further stated by the opponents of the budgeting of BSU that the AS government is helping to establish reverse discrimination. It is afact that a White cannot be a member of the BSU here at Western. But I must further add that nearlyevery club and organization on campus discriminates against someone. One can't join the YoungDemocrats unless he professes to be a Democrat. One can't be in AWS unless the person is a femalestudent. One can't be in Lettermen's Club unless the person is strong enough in body to win a varsityletter. I 'm sure the Young Republicans wouldn't want anyone in their organization that wasn't willing tobe a Republican and work for the ideals of the Republican party. The operation of the organization would cease if this wasn't true. So it is a fact that when like people come together to work for an objective,that objective is much more easily attained if they are all indeed similar. So it is with the BSU. Funny,people all seem to be the same. This whole argument was brought on by White racists that are on thiscampus. It is obvious that they are trying to twist everything that our Black bretheren do into somethingevil and bad. Larry Dittloff AS legislator A memorial Editor: On Friday March 21 Lynn Karabach diedfrom injuries received in a freak car accident. I write this in memory of her, and for the life she lived.Unfortunately, there are many on campus who didn't know Lynn, for Lynn was not a radical nor was shean active protestor. Although Lynn fully recognized the problems in life, she also realized that it is often much easier to find something undesirable in life and to complain, so she chose to find the beautiful inlife and to compliment. She refused to be disenchanted by the bad, so she chose to be directed by the good, and for those of us who knew her well she portrayed what life could and perhapr should be. Lynnpossessed as many faults as any of us, but she could never have been guilty of the greatest fault withina lifetime which is simply neglecting the a 1969 B/istol-Myers Co.

The following letter was sent to Western's National StudentAssociation, and was forwarded to The Western Front by Wally Sigmar, NSA co-ordinator.) DearFriend: As you may recall, two years ago I introduced S-1275, a bill substituting a voluntary armed force for the present selective service system. The bill was not directly considered by the Armed ServicesCommittee and efforts to incorporate amendments in the Selective Service Act were defeated. Thedraft's continuance emphasizes the inconsistency of government coerced service with America'sconcept of freedom. This was the principle reason that I introduced S-503, the Voluntary MilitaryManpower Procurement Act of 1969. This year, the chances of passage are somewhat better than in1967. Major news magazines such as Time and Newsweek have contained articles commentingfavorably upon a voluntary military; President Nixon supports the concept as well as well-known figuresfrom both fullness and sacredness of life itself.

More than a memory, Lynn's life will serve as a monumentfor those of us who live on. Pam Sweat junior English, sociology sides of the political spectrum,including John K. Galbraith, James Farmer, David Dellinger, Milton Friedman, and Barry Goldwater.However, well-known political leaders, economists, and even the President may not be the catalyst forending the draft. In order to move the nation it will be necessary that those who have fought conscriptionover the past few years enter the discussion and make their views known. The present Selective Service Act will not terminate until 1971 unless we take action to change that situation now. Efforts aimed atsecuring committee consideration by generating and influencing local forces would be instrumental inbuilding support for draft abolishment. In addition to letters to your own Congressmen and the ArmedServices Committee, I would recommend letters to the editor of your local newspaper; encouraging labor, business, farm, and professional leaders as well as civic and educational organizations to express their views.

Tied for second place and two points behind the Westernteam were North Texas State (Denton) and Southwestern College (Winfield, Kan.). "We won because we had so much depth," Dr. Lynn Engdahl, debate coach, said. This depth paid off during this season's 14 tournaments in which the team either won, or scored a place in the sweepstakes, in nearly everycontest. In Arizona, Western won the overall sweepstakes, and also scored highest in discussion andextemporaneous speaking. All team members in the tournament earned points. Marc Sullivan, freshman, and Charles Miller, junior received s u p e r i o r r a t i n g s for extemporaneous speaking. Judy Raub,junior, received a superior rating for discussion. . Sullivan and Miller also were rated excellent debatingas a team. Sophomores Nick Wells and Rick Spillman earned excellent ratings in cross examinationdebate. Other excellent ratings went to Judy Roberts, oratory; Floyd Williams, discussion; and MaryMarques, interpretive reading. Bonnie Hood and Mary Marques also received good ratings in debating asa team. Two years ago Western won the women's sweepstakes, when the tournament was divided intoseparate men's and women's contests. This year the categories were combined for the first time andWestern earned the overall grand sweepstakes. The certificates will be displayed in the Old Main trophy case. Engdahl said that the team declared themselves the water polo champions of the tournament. No one challenged the statement.

EdwardM. Kennedy (D-Mass.) said in proposing a bill to reform the current selective service system. Kennedy'sbill would require drafting the youngest first, using random selection method and e l i m i n a t i n g oraltering occupational deferments and student exemptions. The Senator wants to extend conscientiousobjector status to atheists and agnostics who are genuine pacifists. He also called for a study of thepossibility of granting amnesty to young men who fled the country rather than face induction. OtherCongressmen, members of the Nixon Administration and educators are introducing ideas and proposalsto reform the draft. Sen. Edmund Muskie (D-Maine) has endorsed a lottery selective servicereorganization and an alternative service until a better paid volunteer army can replace compulsion. Atthe end of January, President Richard Nixon asked the defense department to develop detailed plans forending the draft, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird said. The President's change ideas includemodernizing the Selective Service System and making standards more uniform.

Officials cited an 18 percent rise in the number of gonorrhea cases reported in their annual communicable diseases survey.Snohomish County had the highest increase with 150 cases reported in 1968 compared with 107 in1967. f om nqe blossom *' diamond ring* In contrast, the Seattle-King County area had one of thesmallest percentages of the leading counties with 16.4 percent.

The 20-24 agegroup, with 2,482 reported cases, had an increase of 19 percent. The State Health Department is-reacting to the situation by seeking a bill to provide a minor, 14 years or older, who has a social disease, the right to seek treatment without parental consent. Builders put last touches on VU Western'smillion-dollar Viking Union addition is finally nearing completion with builders shooting for an opening this week. Bob Aegerter, college architect, had earlier predicted a March 31 opening. Finishing touchesare being applied by 10 workmen from Wick Construction Company of S e a t t l e and severalsubcontractors. All that remains to be done are minor additions to the roof and the main floor cafeteriakitchen, Chris Ladstein, Wick job superintendent said. Other contractors are busy checking outtelephone and lighting systems. Before the building can be occupied it must pass a routine inspectionby state officials, which it is easily expected to do, Ladstein said. "We cannot open the structure onesection at a time," Ladstein remarked. "When the entire addition is finished and finally approved, we'llopen up." The addition sports four levels. The ground floor consists of a multi-section coffee shopincluding a cafeteria to replace the one currently used in the original Viking Union. The old VU coffeeshop will be converted into student office space this summer. The two lower level floors will remainunfinished for awhile. One is divided into private dining areas. The upper level includes an open arcadefor a local banking facility, a barber shop and a unique smoke shop. Also situated in the upper level willbe a current affairs briefing center (similar to the one already in use), an art and photo gallery and amusic room. The view end of the-upper level will house a coffee den with an adjoining plaza.

When Paul Goodman's Compulsory Miseducation first appeared in 1964 it attracted a good deal of attention among, unfortunately, only those professional academicians whose security itthreatened. Goodman, rather than utilizing the tradition dependent approach of most commentators onour educational system, evaluates it in terms of its relevance to both the individual student and society interms of imminent world change (the problems of population-environment and cybernation). He develops astatement of the purpose of education and evaluates the current structure from that perspective. As aresult his proposals are for actual alternatives rather than a mere bolstering of a system which has what is becoming an obviously invalid premise for its foundation. "The hard task of education," Goodman says,"is to liberate and strengthen a youth's initiative, and at the same time to see to it that he knows what isnecessary to cope with the on-going activities and culture of society so that his initiative can be relevant."In a day when the root source of all campus dissent, agitation, and violence can be traced to the inabilityof a large portion of the student populace to relate what they are being taught to their own lives or thereality of the world in which they live, this statement would seem to be both valid and almost universallyignored by this country's educational institutions. He continually stresses the point that unless we beginto look at education and think about it in new directions, it will not only become even more wasteful ofhuman resources than at present but it will add to the confusion of our rapidly changing society. Thepresent method of probably unintentional but actual brainwashing and regimentation may be in the bestinterests of the state but it is certainly not in the best interests of the individual. Goodman offers manysuggestions, both small and large, for improvement. Each, however, has the same focus. Goodmanwishes to halt the trend towards depersonalization in our institutions. He wishes to make the educationalexperience more pertinent to the talents, hopes, and aspirations of each individual. The book is well-written, pithy and readable. While one may not agree with all of Goodman's suggestions he does providethe necessary new perspective for an analysis of our current situation. I think the best conclusion for thisreview is a quote from the book, itself. "Our learning is increasingly departmentalized and prescribed. The only time a student is treated as a person is when he breaks down and is referred to Guidance."Ziegler's class a real gas Three men interrupted Dr. David Ziegler's political science featuring Keepsake Diamonds Pierced Earrings Guaranteed Watch Repairs F.

(CPS)-Regulations screening new speakers formulated by the MississippiBoard of Trustees of Institutions of Higher Learning, amount to a tightening of the board's stranglehold on free speech on state campuses. The new rules, ordered rewritten by a federal panel of judges inJanuary, reflect a paternal attitude toward student organizations. These rules strip students of the power to invite speakers, and invest the authority only in college presidents, deans or department heads.Speakers, the rules say, cannot be announced political candidates or their advocates, or anyone whoadvocates rioting, or whose presence could constitute a "clear and present danger of inciting a riot."Under the old rules, student organizations had to have the approval of the university administration andthe board before inviting speakers. These rules had prohibited those speakers who would "do violence to the academic atmosphere" and those charged with crimes or "moral wrong-doings," as well as those"in disrepute in the area from which they came." When the board used these new rules to reverseuniversity Cohabitation multiplies among young people A prominent psychiatrist predicted "greatersocial acceptance" of "unmarried households" in the future as a new way for young people to prepare for marriage. According to a survey taken by the Family Institute of New York and Redbook magazine, the number of couples living together without the benefit of marriage appears to be increasing, especiallyamong college students, Dr. Donald Bloch said in a recent Redbook article. The "cherished fantasy" ofthe "wide-eyed innocent walking with faltering steps into a totally unfamiliar relationship" is one "we cando without," the psychiatrist said. "In its place I see two mature young people who understandthemselves and each other and who make a genuinely free commitment knowing full well what they arecommitting themselves to," Bloch said in the article. "The wedding will take place a little later, but in my book it should be a more joyous occasion." Among the couples participating in the study were LindaLeclair and Peter Behr. The former Barnard and Columbia students were subjects of coast-to-coast frontpage stories last year when the Barnard administration learned of their relationship. The couplecontends that they "really haven't challenged the institution of marriage at all," according to the article."It has become clear to them that no matter what they call their relationship, they have developedsomething that approximates not only a marriage but a fairly conventional marriage," Bloch said. Onereason many couples gave for not marrying was they "felt too immature, too unsettled, to be ready for apermanent commitment," the article said. "Living together, they believe, gives them time to come togrips with their own ambivalent feelings." TWO E SOUfH OF TW BOWER SPECIAL FRI - S A T - SUN April 18- 19-20 BURRITOS2for59c SALE!

M. KNIGHT,JR. Bellingham photographer contributor (Ed. Note: This is the second in a series of three articles by N. M. Knight, Jr., a Bellingham photographer, dealing with change within Whatcom County.) PART IIWhatcom County lays within the jaws of an immense physical change. It also lays within the grasp of anew level of sophistication. The former is evident because it is already organized and underway, thelatter yet lacks strength.

One premise is necessary: the intensity or concentration of energyforce patterns can be directly related with the learning experience. A group of people sitting in a circle,all involving each~~other in a dialogue of mutual interest, will generate a greater concentration on anyone idea than a situation where dictation directed, dissipates to demand receptivity. The professor in theformer case becomes the friend of knowledge not the dictator of the same. It could further be suggested that the classroom physical environment be creative and conducive to a happy and peaceful learningexperience. Presently they are sterile and barren of color or excitement. moment of balance betweendisaster and salvation. If people concerned with the quality of our environment and the direction of oursocial welfare can but make their voice heard, catastrophe through uncontrolled chaos may beprevented. It is possible to control the direction we will take if concerned people can organizethemselves into a unified and reasonable force. To do this a tool is needed; the muscle is alreadypresent. It has been proposed that an organization such as the Municipal League become that tool. Ifso, then look briefly at what composes the fiber. Such muscle is the people concerned with the basicissues: conservation, education and social environment. I would propose that the Municipal Leaguebecome a corporation of three divisions: the conservation, the education and the social environmentinterests of the entire county inclusive of urban and rural problems. An employed board would staff anddictate its efforts to accumulate a trust fund to facilitate and coordinate such an organization. Theconservation division could be made up of various areas of interest. The Action for Conservation groupon campus could be dedicated to research and the presentation of conservation needs. Various peoplescould join forces to committee the pooling of information and proposals for such issues as sewage, airand water control. Others could direct their efforts toward county wide environmental planning and/orimproved urban conditions. All such efforts would be c o o r d i n a t e d under one conservation divisionsecretary or board. Another element would be the Northwest Free University in an attempt to organize a cultural center, retreat conference and study area, art center and classroom buildings. A third segmentof this division might be made up of educators feeling the need to actualize or improve the public s c h o o l system. Again coordination and intelligent liaison would be essential through a "secretary." Thesocial environment division becomes the most complex and perhaps most unwieldy because of theextent of interests. Therefore I would break it into three coordinated efforts. . 1. A unified news mediumwould attempt to keep the population aware of the issues, aiming at a mid range, somewhere betweenthe demands of an articulate and apathetic audience with specialized programming for each. 2. Amassive industrial, realty, and politically oriented effort might be organized to develop an awareness ofthe problems and secondly to respond accordingly to clean up and re-evaluate the urban and sub-urbansituation here while it is still manageable. 3. The third and perhaps most important would be a citizens'committee, perhaps made up with some members from the first two divisions, to create an awareness of the problems and evaluate possible solutions. This committee would also turn its efforts to the socialproblems of the county. Such a division might find financial aid through Federal, state, and local taxappeals; again it would form an intrical part of the League. Such a League would be composed of trulyconcerned public officials, industrialists and citizens. Their common concern would be to resolve theproblems of the future with foresight and a revolutionary spirit. They would share a sense of communityand concern for the real values of life. They would attempt to enlighten themselves and the public to theproblems working in a unified effort, not for personal gains. We must act now for what we hold valuable if the future will remain to us in any betterment or simulance of what it now is. We, the concerned, therealists, the lovers of life are here reacting to these problems every day. Let us unify our efforts toovercome the indignity of the possible future we face. Barber trimmed Tim Johnson, a Nash Hallresident, received damages Friday from the proprietor of the B and B Barber shop. While receiving ahaircut, Johnson noticed the barber was cutting an excessive amount of hair. When Johnson protested,the barber made threatening gestures and used profane language to describe people with long hair. Thebarber attempted to intimidate Johnson, and then threatened to bring in the police when Johnson refused to pay. Johnson said the barber cut about six inches extra off his hair. Judge Jack Kurtz ruled in Small Claims Court that the barber shop must refund the $ 1.75 that the student paid, and also pay courtcosts.

The host Vikings managed eight firsts in the meet, but the team depth of the Savages as well as their superiority in the field and weight events proved to be the deciding factor intheir victory. Junior Larry Anderson was a double winner for the Western squad. Usually a quarter-miler, Anderson was shifted to the sprints by Coach Boyde Long and the versatile speedster swept both the100 and 220-yard dashes. His slow time of : 11.9 in the century was due to the fact that the distancewas measured following the race and found to be 120 yards in length. Other WWSC first place finishersincluded Ed Miller in the 440, Jim Kulham in the 880, Lyle Wilson in the high jump and Larry Nielsen inthe 2-mile. Both Western relay teams were also victorious.
