Dr. E. A. Bond of the faculty estimates that during this period twelve hundred students have climbed to the top of the mountain. Among all these students who have taken this annual trip there has not been a serious accident. This year the golden chain was broken. It seems that life cannot flow on indefinitely in an even stream. When the break comes we are not prepared for it. Certainly no experience in life could have prepared us for a disaster that has taken the lives of six students. Our memories are full of interesting incidents in connection with the lives of these students. All of them made such an impression upon us with their vital qualities of'personality that we shall never forget them. These students were a part of the-band of courageous souls whoj were determined to climb to the: summit of Mount Baker. When this; goal was within their reach, an; avalanche of snow overtook them. The enormity of the avalanche was greater than experienced mountaineers had ever seen. That any one of the group is alive is beyond understanding. Prom the experience of those who survived, we know that those who perished had no fear of death on the mountain. Our sorrow in the loss we have suffered is relieved in the thought that they must have perished without experiencing pain. Although none reached the summit, their indomitable spirits triumphed in disaster whether they survived or perished. C. H. FISHER, President. A College Mourns Their Death Former Vikings Send Condolence To Whom It May Concern-. Those few Viking alumni who are still pursuing learning in faraway halls were saddened Sunday evening when the news broadcast told of that mountain catastrophe. That all acquitted themselves as courageous and true is sufficient to say. In our bewilderment, let us grasp the things that stand for all eternity. —Vikings at Southern California, By Cordon Leen.

BEULAH LINDBERG ALICE JAMES HOPE WEITMAN JULIUS DORNBLUT VENE FISHER MAYNARD HOWATT Now you will be forever young: Now you will never grow old in a silence, knowing the early music sung. For you now there will never be the slow breaking Of the early dream, the abandoned undertaking, The fine plans forgotten and put aside . . . There will be none of this for you now: you were young when you died. You will never listen now for music finished: For you the song ends on the high note, unfaltering, undiminished. And you will be forever climbing upward now, the long splendid climb: Weariness can never hold you back, nor the world, nor Time. Goodbye: the dream endures. You will be young forever; the heights will be forever yours. —Written for the Collegian by Charles E. Butler. Tragedy First In History Pledges Passed Out In Morning Assembly; Search Continues As this paper goes to press the latest development in the mountain tragedy is a meeting of the faculty and students yesterday noon called by President Fisher to raise funds to continue the search for the missing persons. Pledge cards for donations from the students and faculty were passed out this morning in assembly. No definite time was set for the conclusion of the search, but if it is given up, searching parties will be sent out from time to time in hopes that the bodies may be found. NO WARNING With no more warning than an almost inaudible "swish" a slide enveloped the climbing party of 25 WWC students as they trudged beneath Roman Wall on the last stage of the annual Mount Baker ascent. Six of the party were swept to their death. As it gathered momentum the avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the group. Early reports that the six victims were in a group when struck were discounted by stories of the survivors, who told of the almost selecting nature of the disaster. The six who were swept away were from all sections ~ of the party, fellow climbers said. The party was led by L. A. McGee, Dean of men, Chet Ullin, and Don Coss, all experienced mountaineers. The body of Alice James, popular Eden's hall president, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy overhang, while that of Julius Dornblut Jr., Collegian head, was discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice. The crevasse which held Dornblut's body is believed to contain several more of the climber's bodies. SPECIAL ASSEMBLY President C. H. Fisher cancelled the regularly scheduled Tuesday assembly. In its place he called a meeting at which student services were held for the victims. STUDENT MEMORIAL Student Body President Ralph H. Neil Tuesday appointed a special student committee composed of Genevieve Strain, Ray Bright, and John Engebretson to confer with faculty members on the selection of a suitable memorial to be erected on the campus for those lost. Funeral services for Miss James were held in Everett last Wednesday at the Challacombe-Fickle funeral home. President Fisher spoke at the services. Those for Dornblut will be held Monday at the Harlow-Hollingsworth funeral parlors at 1:30: The following telegram was sent by the Associated Students to the parents and relatives of the students who lost their lives in the recent disaster : We, the Associated Students of the Western Washington College of Education, wish to express to you our sympathies in your bereavement. Mindful of the great loss you have suffered and the inadequacy of any condolances which we may offer we cannot refrain from tendering to you our deepest heartfelt sympathy in this, our mutual sorrow. Yours very sincerely and respectfully.

Saddle Trip Cancelled The horseback trip across Chucka-nut mountain has been postponed indefinitely, Genevieve Smith, chairman of the affair, reports. Mr. Baker, the guide from whom the horses are obtained, has taken a group- of government men on a geological survey into the Cascade mountains. He will return by Sunday, August 6, and the trip to Lar-rabee park may take place on that date. It has been suggested that the ride be taken in the evening, with the party returning by moonlight. No decision, however, has been made. The golfers were thicker thon John L. Lewis' eyebrows out at Birch Bay Sunday.. Most purely objective spectators probably think the sport verges on the silly side since the object of the game seemingly is to step up and hit a ball and then chase it and hit it further and eventually hit it back to the original starting point. However, have you ever seen anyone who played at all who didn't get the fever to play more and more? Speaking of golf, an unusual happenstance occured at Lakeway last Saturday. Laurence Jones, playing with Doc Cedarstrpm, made a hole in one—but riot exactly in the orthodox manner. The industrial arts shop foreman was teeing off on number 8 while some Californians were teeing off on number 9 across Death Valley. One of the southerners sliced his drive so badly that the ball landed in Jones' sweater pocket much to Jones' surprise and the Caljfor-nian's dismay. • The new tennis courts are reported as being too rough for accurate playing and will doubtlessly have to be redressed. Such is the way with progress. There are always little difficulties cropping up which have to be rectified as they appear. • In the race for the Coast league pennant Seattle is leading, going away and all attendance records in the park which beer built are being shattered.

It seems the only sick thing about the Rainiers is the owner. • This salubrious summertime certainly smacks of fishing trips and sailing ships; of salty dips and malty nips; of racing tips and racy quips; makes me wish I was a child again; makes me wish I was running wild again; yes, makes me wish I was pure and undefiled again.

Dr. Haggard received his Ph.D. from Chicago University, his A.M from the University of Michigan, and his B.A. from Maryville, Tennessee. He is secretary of the North Central Association of Colleges that embraces 14 states from the Canadian boundary to the Mexican border but does not include the southeastern states.

He arrived in Bel-lingham Tuesday and after being elected immediately flew back to Chicago to complete his resignation and make plans to take up his new duties September 1. The president-elect comes to Bellingham strongly recommended by President Huschins of the University of Chicago and its placement office. He was also given fine recommendations by the University of Michigan and the University of Purdue where Dr. Haggard lectured during the summer sessions. Branigan describes Haggard as one of the leading administrators of the North Central states district. According to latest reports from the Appointment bureau, the following students have teaching positions for the coming year: Pauline Barnes, sixth grade at Sequim; Virginia Weston, fourth grade and music at Sequim; Beatrice Bernhoft, second grade at Castle Rock; Agnes J.

Miss Hopper expects a larger turnover in the next two weeks than has occuiTed in the past. Unusually popular with assembly audiences, Nan Dybdahl Wiik, well-known sopano will appear in assembly next Tuesday, August 1; for her seventh concert at WWC. :Mrs. Wiik is a Norwegian singer who made her debut in Milan fifteen years ago. Her first performances in this country were in 1925 as a soloist in the University of Oslo Chorus which gave concerts in thirty leading cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Portland. Since her marriage to Dr. Johan C. Wiik, in Oslo, in 1928, she has resided in Bellingham. Here she takes a leading part in music organizations and continues her concert work, giving concerts in Seattle, Spokane, Vancouver, B. C, and other northwest cities. She is especially popular for her unusual and delightful interpreta-toins of folk songs. In her concerts the traditional folk melodies of England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries are given in the language and costume of the country. Last Edition! Because of the death of Julius Dornblut, summer editor, this week's edition of the Collegian will be the last this quarter. The Collegian will resume publications as usual the opening week of the fall quarter, with Bill Bidder, editor, and Stewart McLeod, manager. Copies of this memorial issue are being mailed to relatives and friends of the dead, and to the faculty and members of the Associated students who were in school the first half of the summer quarter. Publications Group Fassea1 By Solons; Women's League Gets Appropriation Highlighting the board of control meeting last Wednesday was the approval of the formation of a new Publications board. This machine when once in operation will control all student publications and appoint all officers thereof. The newly formed board will be made up of five members. Two will be faculty members appointed by the president of the college; two will be students appointed by the board of control with the recommendation that one of these students be a former editor if attending college at the time; the other member will be the college registrar. Appointments to the new board will be made next week. Other matters taken up by the board were the passing and approval of the budget for the last half of the summer quarter; granting the Womens league an additional. $20 to their regular appropriation, pending trial during the fall quarter; the recommendation of the board that if funds are available at the close of the school year, the business man��ager of the Klipsun be granted an additional $25 providing that his or her work had been satisfactory during the year. A request by the Housemothers' association that decorations for Homecoming be discontinued was tabled for an early meeting in the fall. A telegram from the Ellens-burg student body concerning the Mount Baker tragedy was read to the board. SANDISON Woolworth Bldg.

Their Work Is Done; Ours Is Only Begun Mourned by Western Washington college students, faculty, parents and friends are six beloved members of the student body, killed by an unheralded avalanche of a treacherous mountain. If the mountain were human, one could fight it; if it were an animal, one could destroy it; however, it is neither man nor beast but an immovable, irresistible mass of stone and snow, unconscious that parr of its great body has swept six human beings to their death. No one can tell the tale of heroism, daring, and courage of the leaders of the party, who with breaking hearts shoulder the responsibility for the expedition. Everyone knows that all preliminary arrangements were made with the utmost care and these men can only be praised for their untiring work in the search for those lost. Of those dead, their memories will long be with us. We can do our part by carrying on the work that they have started; by remembering their deeds and personal-1 m her second year at Dillon, Miss Lind-ities while they were here Six are dead, b e r g h w o n a s c h o l a r s h i p a n d was a c t i v e in but a world moves on and we move with! it. Carry on! They would want it that way. Julius Dornblut, Hope Weitman, May-nard Howatt, Beulah Lindbergh, Alice James, and Vene Fisher are gone. Their deaths are a blow which leave the campus stunned and shocked. Carry on! They would want it that way—. Vene Fisher Vene Fisher was born in Brady, Montana, June 21, 1914, and at the time of his death was making his home with his parents on a farm near Coupeville, Wash. He was graduated from a three year course at this college in 1935, and received his BA degree in 1936. During the time he was a student at WWC, he was student assistant to R. D. Wilson in the school print shop, often taking complete charge of the shop during Mr. Wilson's absence. Because he was working while attending school, Fisher had no time to take part in college hikes; but after graduating he has come back each summer to participate in the summer recreation program. After receiving his degree in 1935, he taught school at Garrard Creek, Grays Harbor county, for one year. For the past two years he has been assistant in the county engineer's office of Island county. He is survived by his wife, the former Hazel Lundquist, who graduated from WWC in 1936; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vene C. Fisher, of Coupeville; two brothers, one of whom is working with the searching party at the scene of the tragedy, and one sister, Isabel, who is a student here. Beulah Lindbergh Beulah Lindbergh was born October 9, 1916, in Simms, Montana. She attended high school there and was very prominent in athletics and also attained high scholastic honors. After graduation from high school, she attended the State Teachers' college at Dillon, Montana. While in attendance at college, Miss Lindbergh was again active in sports, winning several athletic awards. His Memories Still Live With Us The sun rises, passes over the heavens in a true, straight course, then sinks in the west in a blaze of glory—so it was with Julius. His life, too, was a straight, true path, always dependable, and he, too, died in glory. To die gloriously is not always accomplished by dying a heroic death on a battlefield—it is truly glorious when those left behind say that in the little everyday occurrences he was a true hero by living as he did. A friend—in the finest sense of the word—was Julius to all who knew him. A warm glow around one's heart always accompanied a word exchanged with him— it was so good just to see him every day— iust to know that he was around ready to help. High in the mountains—surrounded by the finest, truest kind of beauty—he went. That is really fitting because everything of his own life was fine and true in the same grand expansive way. He is gone—but we who are still 'here are the ones to pity. He is happy—how could he be otherwise in death, being what he was in life. He, by living as he did from day to day, has gained a kingdom. We have lost a true friend. The old "Viking gang:" dramatics. After graduation from college, she first taught at Belt, Montana, and then at Fairfield, a small town in the same state. As a teacher she was interested in Girl Scout work and was the scout leader of her group. Friends of Miss Lindbergh here at WWC and in Montana are warm in their appraisal of her fine personality, happy disposition, and friendliness. Miss Lindbergh is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Lindbergh of Simms, Montana. Julius Dornblut Julius Dornblut was born in Radersburg, Montana, January 23, 1909. He was educated in Bellingham where he attended Roosevelt grade school and the Whatcom high school. Dornblut received his BA degree from this college in June, 1935. For the past four years he has been teaching at Alder-wood Manor, a part of the Edmonds' school district. While a student at WWC, he was editor of the Northwest Viking from October 1933, to January, 1934, winning All-American • rating. During the past few years he has had many articles published in education magazines, and at the present time his latest article. "Improving the Interior of Schools," is being printed and will appear in the August issue of The School Executive. Chosen to replace Mrs. Ruth Burnet, Collegian adviser, during her vacation this summer, Dornblut was acting not only as adviser but as editor and business manager as well. At the time of his death he was vice-president of the WWC Alumni association. Dornblut, who was very active in school affairs, was popular with both students and faculty. He was staying at the home of W. O. E. Radcliffe, principal of Lincoln and Franklin schools, this summer. Hope Weitmdn Hope Weitman was born in Prairie City, Oregon, September 28,1915. She was a graduate of Eastern Washington College of Education at Cheney and held a teaching position at Chewelah, Washington. Miss Weitman was registered at this college both this summer and last. She had made many of the mountain trips and was recognized as a capable mountaineer. While attending WWC, Miss Weitman resided at the YWCA. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Weitman, of Thornton, Washington. Maynard Howatt Maynard Howatt was born in Seattle, May 3, 1915. He was a graduate of West Seattle high school and had made a fine record at WWC both in scholarship and athletics. Although he went through the formalities at the June graduation, he was to complete his work toward a three year certificate August 18. Howatt was a veteran trackman, having captured the conference title for the two-mile twice, once in 1937 and again in 1938 lt; His courageous run in winning the two-mile in 1937 will long be remembered. In the 1939 season, he won easily the first meet of the season and probably would have captured the title for the third straight time, had not doctor's orders kept him from further competition. Probably one of the finest acts in the track world was the time he permitted a teammate to catch him in a race and run head to head in the finish. This clean cut show of sportsmanship permitted his running mate to earn valuable points toward a track letter. Howatt was an active member of the W club and a leader in the scholarship society. He will also be remembered for his courteous service in the reserve bookroom of the library. His name can be found on many of the school's different committees, where his excellent work won him many friends and followers. ^ Howatt resided at Edwards' hall during his term at college. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Howatt, and a brother and sister.

E. Helgason, of Silver Beach Ave., Bellingham. Dornblut's parents died while he was attending WWC. Funeral services for Dornblut will be held Monday, 1:30 p. m., at the Harlow-Hollingsworth funeral home. Condolence Let us not grieve ior the youth who did not come back from their hiking trip. They are not lost nor have they lived in vain. Something of the splendor of the youth who climbed so valiantly to their deaths will remain always to comfort those who are left behind. The tragedy of their dying is not comparable to the tragedy of the living. We who are young can only guess at the futile struggles, the bitter disappointments and vanquished hopes that life can bring. We will know sorrow and grief along, with our few tastes of happiness. Those who are no longer with use have lived their years of careree gaiety and youth. They left this life at the most wonderful time—while they were young with hope in their hearts and courage in their souls. Life's bitterness and frustrations can never touch them now. A Fdrmer Student. Alice James was born at Valley City, North Dakota, on June 3, 1917. She graduated from Marysville high school in 1935. Prominent in WWC activities, she was a former member of the orchestra, and of the library staff. She was a member of the Epworth league of the Garden Street Methodist church of this city, and also president of the county Epworth league. Miss James was president of Edens hall this summer although during the past four years she has lived at Ragans hall. Mrs. Rag-an, who knew her well, said, "Her word was as good as her bond. She stood by an agreement through everything, whether to her advantage or not." Miss James was well liked by all her friends. Though quiet she achieved prominence in eyes of her classmates through her faithfulness to her work. She left school at midyear to teach at East Stanwood and planned to return there next fall. Her work in games and playground was outstanding. She was carrying 15% hours this quarter, working toward her degree. Miss James is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. McNeil C. James, of Granite Falls; a married sister, Margaret; two younger sisters, Ruth and Marian, and a younger brother, Richard. Last rites for Miss James were held Wednesday in Everett at the Challacombe-Fickle Funeral home. President Fisher and Rev. R. H. Stone officiated at the services.PPPPP

Through the graciousness of your new editor and the fact that 1 was once a WWCollegian writer, I con-sider it a great pleasure and privilege to come back to the portals of Western Washington and conr tribute something to the weekly scandal sheet. BOUQUETS TO ADVISER: Being away from Bellingham and the halls of WWC for a little shy of two years, I see many things have happened to the old alma mater... My eyes grew to tremendous proportions when I surveyed the.new home of the WWCollegian I t is one of the most compact and neatest publications office of any school on the coast. To say. the least it is much different from the old office that was a pain in the neck to the Science department and to others for many years. There is a cracker jack of an office for the adviser, Mrs. Burnet, who deserves a boat load of praise for her wonderful work with the school's publications. The Klipsun and Navigator editors have a private office right next door to Adviser Burnet's. The desks are arranged in ah orderly fashion and they are adorned with signs indicating the various editors. Drop, in before school closes if you haven't already done so...Wonder what Al Biggs, Bill Bidder and other former editors, would say? • ^ • Another new improvement is the new student lounge. I remember way back when collections, dances and drives were put into operation with the dream of having such a place in the future. It's here and from all indications it will be the most popular spot in school. Outside of attending claW^tho...Bigger and better things will come to WWC but none of them will ever compare to the always friendly atmosphere of the place...and the beautiful campus... TO THE MEN This little item is a bit on the serious side. It concerns the departure of the reserves from all over the country as well as here at Western Washington. Come July first the lads from the naval reserve will trek to other institutions to continue their education. This is a wonderful opportunity to further your schooling under military discipline . . . You . will take with you all the knowledge you have gathered here from an efficient and always helpful faculty, both in intellectual and social ways...You will enter a different life and the going will be tough. .

Philippi, former head of the Science department at Western Washington College, has donated over 250 books to the college library. The books were collected by Mr. Philippi between the years 1909 to 1942, while he was a member of the college faculty. Modern-up-to-date volumns dealing with physics, chemistry, and geology are contained in the collection. In addition to the autographed books, Mrs. Philippi gave the instructor's magazine files covering over thirty years of technical literature in physics and chemistry. Served 33 Years on Staff r Before his death, March 7, 1942, Mr. Philippi had served 33 years on the college faculty. Since it is his family's belief that he would want his library to be used by students, the books are being catalogued and shelved in the general book file of the library. On the front cover of each book a dedication plate has been placed. The plate is inscribed with old English printing and contains the following memorial: This book which belonged to Harry C. Philippi, esteemed member of the faculty, W09-1942; "was"glven to the library, Western Washington College of Education, by Mrs. Harry C. Philippi.

Irving Elementary School Frontage Planned • The President's office announces that plans are being made to bring in black dirt for the frontage of the new Campus Elementary School building. The land will be seeded early next fall. Newscaster Mayes Once Actor By PAT • Sam Hayes, NBC commentator, shook hands with the last of the interested men gathered about him. He left the group, relaxed in the green upholstered chair on the stage of the WWC auditorium, and admitted with a note of pride in his voice, "Yes, I was once an actor." It was Thursday afternoon, May 27, and he had just concluded a speech to the students urging them to volunteer for local filter board work. As he shifted to this lighter subject,- Mr. Hayes told of when he attended Stanford University and of his intense interest in drama at that time. Modestly, with the manner of one giving an incidental fact, he added, "You might be interested to know that Lloyd Nolan, who is how a movie actor, and I, used to do the leads in many of the plays at Stanford University." Graduates from Stanford Mr. Hayes graduated from Stanford in 1927. When asked how he found his career in radio, Hayes laughingly revealed that this successful occupation and the honor of being the first network newscaster had been quite unforseen. He acted for two years after his graduation, then due to the depression, he was forced, by financial difficulties, to apply for a job; in the field of radio. «'•'..- SCOTT Pacific coast in behalf of the Army Fourth Fighter Command. In the one week he had traveled when he reached Bellingham, Mr. Hayes had made approximately 110 speeches to Americans on the West Coast, attempting to convince them that it "can happen here and may this very summer." Moreover that "it is up to civilian defense here whether or not the war is successful." Bellingham Quota Announced Mr. Hayes remarked that during this speech-making tour which he is making, he has been giving about three talks in each town or city. He stated that the quota which they hoped to raise in women vol-unters for Bellingham is about 150. His countenance was one of mild satisfaction as he announced that at one of his stops, the goal for * (Continued on Page Four) Sunday Program Includes Choir s At NBC, he was given a: position with the national players and not long after, he became the first Richfield . news reporter. At the present time, he boosts civilian defense in his position as master of ceremonies for the "Eyes. • Aloft" program. It was through his work on this program that he was chosen to make a tour of the entire • Baccalaureate services began last Sunday afternoon with the customary procession of graduates into the auditorium. The main address was presented by Dr. Allen I. Lorimer minister of the. Plymouth Congregational Church of Seattle. He chose as his subject "The American Dream." The invocation was presented by Reverend Russell Bisnett of the First Presbyterian Church in Bel^ lingham and President W. W. Haggard read the Scripture. The wo? men's choir under the direction of Nils Boson furnished the music. I n honor of Dr. Lorimer a tea was held in the Blue room of'Ed-ens hall. Irving and Okerbloom To Speak at Commencement • The Reverend Carl G. Okerbloom, of the First Lutheran church, will open the commencement program Friday, June 11, at 10 a. m., with his invocation and will pronounce the benediction at the close. Dr. W. W.

"Shelly" is present editor of the WWCol-legian, a member of Valkyrie, Blue Triangle and the student lounge committee. ' The woman of the week is an inmate of Vikes and a chief participant in many "bull sessions" carried on at the house. Her favorite pastime is what "Shelly" calls "resting," but it invaribly develops into complete unconsciousness. She has a mania for weird combinations of stripes and plaids, mainly to irritate her roommate. Dottie is in a continual spasmodic state. The woman of the week admits a weakness for the navy air corps, spaghetti, the navy air corps, and last but by no means least, the navy air corps. This fall you will find Bernice behind the teacher's desk-at East Stanwood. WWC regrets the loss of a sweet gal called "Shelly." • Appearing first on the summer quarter assembly schedule will be Dr. G. G. Sedgwick, professor of English at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Sedgwick, who was the commencement speaker last year, will address the student body the first Tuesday of the new quarter. The famous English duo, Miss Victoria Anderson and Miss Viola Morris, will sing in an assembly July 29. Bernice Shellhamer, who edited the WWCollegian this year, hails from Sedro-Woolley. Bernice was the first woman editor of the college paper since 38.

State Colleges Add New Course • According to Dr. W. W. Haggard, training of remedial teachers at WWC will begin next fall. "In the past, this training has not been offered to students, but next year the three teachers colleges in this state will include it in their courses,"' stated JDr. Haggard. A class of "special" students who are unable to do the regular class work, and require individual instruction according to their needs, will be added to the training school grades. Thus, those interested in remedial teaching will not only be instructed in the work but may also do practice teaching. (The graduate pictures were taken fall quarter. Several people who are receiving certificates are not shown. Ten of the students are no longer in school.) THE WAR AGAIN: Some farsighted humorists of late have been expounding on the different possibilities of the war and such, but what I cannot see in t he realm of possibility is where on the good earth one will be able to get enough cash to purchase, three p a in of shoes a year, or how a lot of dopes will be able to geedozzle two quarts of whiskey and a pint of gin per week. Ah, but didn't you know that Bellingham is in the midst of a boom. This is the era of the shipyard, "Jim Bradys."

RAINBOW-DEMOLAY DANCE JUNE 11 • An unusual yet patriotic idea has been devised by the Rainbow and DeMolay groups for their annual dance to be given this year in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Leopold on June 11. Ten cent chances will be sold on a War Bond to be given away that night although the winner need not be present at the dance. Highlighting the evening will be the announcement of the DeMolay Sweetheart and introduction of the two club's officers. Carmen Pepper, former WWC student, was elected Sweetheart last year. Mary German, Rainbow Worthy Adviser and Bob Sells, DeMolay Master Counselor, are general chairmen of the affair which, according to a statement of Miss German might possibly be the last dance of this kind for the two clubs for the duration. Clint Nunamaker's seven-piece orchestra will furnish the music and decorations will consist of various sized silver stars. Patronize WWCollegian Advertisers Norse Cruise Rolicking Fun By JEAN ELAINE MULVANEY • Cruising, cruising, over the bounding main—was the pursuit of a bunch of happy-gc-lucky kids headed last Sunday for Obstruction pass in the seascout boat the "Plying Clipper." And of course the very first thing "the boys" got together and held a little poker game. Gale Gregg really took the boys for a ride. Russell Hoppe got a little wild on the way over and threw the signal flag overboard. The skipper could have thrown Russel overboard. (15 minutes were wasted going back to get it.) Landing was a little difficult for Wade Haggard. He just couldn't seem to get Peggy's steamer trunk upon the deck. The trunk was resplendent with lunch, table, folding chairs, and piano! "It Was a Lovely Day." It was a lovely day. The breeze was warm and the sun shone (dimly.) Because of the favorable weather those two brave souls, Jack Driver and Harold Moe, went in swimming. Dick Morsman and Wade Haggard donned their trunks and contented themselves by gazing at the briny deep. I t is a wonder Roy Wark even arrived. He didn't know the name of the boat, the time it left, or whether it left from the South or North side docks. Sun-tans galore were to be had. Ivaloe Stillman and Peggy Benton look like the Gold-dust twins. As we again become landlubbers, we close the picture with the thought of Alda Hesby and Harold Moe rowing across the peaceful bay.

Soon they'll be scattered at training camps and-schools throughout the nation. The best of luck to them in the service and we hope they all become ensigns and lieutenants! There are some fellows who have perhaps some mere physical disability who are barred from Uncle Sam's fighting forces. These same fellows have plenty on the ball though. Although some of them don't realize it, they are needed desperately right where they are—in college. By continuing their education now, •they will be preparing to take an important part in the planning of a post-war world. At college, they will be right in there heading activities and keeping things on as normal a level as- possible. If they hadn't planned to return next fall, here^s hoping they do right by themselves and the school by continuing college next year. So long to you who've received your call ot the colors, but we hope it won't be anytime before you're back in the student lounge playing cards, studying, ''cutting a mean rug", or more like it— watching the girls dance! All kidding aside fellows,' we'll miss seeing you around the halls and campus. Be sure and drop us a line, or if you're a man of few words, send us your address. We'll be .glad to keep you up on our school affairs. We won't be cheering you on the grid-iron or the maple court next year, but. we're still behind you 100%. You've added the red to the blue and white and you'll be fighting not only for the little ''college, on the hill" but on a big team for the right to do the things you've always done the way you've always done them.

Campus Patteh By CAM and PAT This is the last edition of the paper for this quarter, so naturally the last Campus Patter column. We thought it would be appropriate to mention what is to be worn at the graduation exercises. The women degree graduates will wear white skirts, and the men, dark suits under their gowns. The other women graduates will wear pastel afternoon dresses, and the men will wear dark suits. By-the-way it's formal inasmuch as shoes and socks are in order. Congratulations were REALLY in order for Dawn Griffith. Monday was her birthday anniversary. It also was the day she received her diamond from Bob Ludwick. Irene Chetwood is sporting a super suntan this week. Yours truly laid out in the sun for three days straight and all I got was more freckles, and a couple of mosquito bites. (I'm kidding, of course. When have we had three consecutive days of sunshine?) Ruthe Olds visited some friends who run a beauty parlor. No wonder she came back with lighter hair and darker evebrows. Ruthe says, "My dyed eyebrows are wonderful, they don't even come off when I wash my face." We really have liked whipping up this little current events column for you each week. We hope you have liked reading it, Corn and all. And now we leave you with this thought for the week, and also weeks to come. A column by any other name would smell. Munizza Leads] Varsity Men • Gandering through the records and looking for the most outstanding performances in varsity athletics for this past year for any single athlete, our finger stops on the name Lawrence Munizza. Three years Munizza has been a better than average wingman for Coach Lappenbusch's Viking eleven. Coming to WWG from CPS he was able to break right into a starting berth here and remained there till his gradaution this year. Captain of this year's eleven, Larry had a man sized job to tackle. With practically all newcomers, and most of them freshmen, playing this year the boys had a little better than a fair season. Held in Spotlight Basketball and track also are in the running, with him holding dominate roles in both. Track's spotlight was held firmly on Muniz this spring, when he entered four events in the conference. In these fo'ur1, he came out with three thirds and a fourth. Larry has a very pleasing personality and is an all-around good fellow among the students and faculty at school. He is in the navy V-7 program and probably will be called the first of July. After the war he plans a coaching career. Larry Munizza :omes from Pu- •j/allup, Washingt o n . A member iSjaf. the Naval reserve, he expects jto be called to hervice soon. He recently brought fame to the house in the annual beard-growing and pie-eating contests on Campus Day.

To sketch his performances, we start with basketball. As a member of the Champion Hospice team. Art led the league in scoring by a big margin and was one v of the top defensive players of the loop. He was easily varsity material but satisfied himself with intramural play. He also was picked as an unanimous position on the all-league team. Topnotch Bowler Bowling is his next topnotcher, being one of the best rolers in' the competition. Belonging to the Spring quarter Champion PE Faculty team he was their leading pin toppler. The Faculty were the runners up in the school championship. Hospice Inn had a fair softball team and were able to come out second in the league, but the reason they fared as well as they did was because they had' a fellow by the name of Stenson pitching for them. Art was the number one chucker in the league and also a potent sticker. Last, but not least, is tumbling and swimming. He is better than the average in both. He also is a member of V-7. mm Art Stenson ^ f g hails from Everett and is in Ihis last year at IvVWC He is a I member of Hos-jpice Inn and a :oach of the Jr. High softball team.

The Norsemen meeting primarily will be to make plans for the club dance on February 5. Committees will be appointed to work on the affair. Since Don Neal, Norseman president, has been inducted into military service, a new president may be elected. • Dorothy Miller, AWS vice-president, has stated that the student assembly for the women students probably will consist of a freshman talent assembly which is an annual affair. In this program the freshman plan and present the whole assembly. Pat Scott and Zo-sia Nowagrowski, freshman representatives to the AWS commission will be in charge. Christian Fellowship Meet Wednesday • Of interest was the meeting of the College Christian Fellowship, Wednesday noon. Members gave reviews of' Inter-Varsity publications whiclr are owned by the Fellowship and are available to the students of the college. They may be obtained by contacting Alice Pederson, secretary of the Fellowship. All interested students are invited to come to the social which is being sponsored by the Fellowship and is to be held at the home of Mary Sklilman, 359 So. Forest street.

String Quartet To Appear • Western Washington College of Education invites the students and the public to a concert of the Music Teachers string quartet to be given Sunday, January 17, at 3:15 p. m., in the Campus school auditorium. The quartet will consist of Arthur Thai, first violin, well known player from Bellingham; Robert Chisholm, second violin, violin instructor from Lynden; John Monroe, viola, high school instructor from Femdale; and Don Bu-shell, cello, WWC faculty member. The following program will be presented. "Quartet in F Major," Opus 74, No. 2 (Haydn); "Quartet in F Major," Opus 125, No. 1 (Schubert). The concert promises to be of special interest to both students and the public. This group has held together for three years as a string quartet. Mr. Bushell states that the purpose of the concert is to make the public quartet conscious before the Budapest String Quartet arrives, and before gas rationing and the war cut off the possibilities of having any more concerts soon. This is the first program to be given in the new Campus school auditorium that is complimentary to the public. Subscription Fees Still Accepted • This week's drive to send the paper to servicemen ended Wednesday night after a two day drive. Not coming up. to the expectations of the AWS committee in charge, some other attempt will have to be made . to obtain funds. Due to the large amount- of students leaving school, the amount of subscriptions have been increased. Last quarter 49 subscriptions were sent to former students who were in the service. Many letters have been received from these servicemen expressing their gratitude and appreciation. GRUBB NEW NORSE CLUB PRESIDENT • With Don Neal leaving this week, the Norsemen's office will be taken over by Byron Grubb. None of the plans for the Norsemen's dance, are definite except the date. "The dance wilt take place on Friday, February 5, but the. place and the band are indefinite," was word given by Don Packard, co-chairman of the affair. More news .. will be avialable next week after committeemen Packard, McPherson, Rellly, and Brown meet. VOL XLI.I—NO. 14 Western Washington College/Bellingham, Washington Friday, January 15, 1943. Journalist Presents Illustrated Talk • Deane Dickason, noted authority, gave an illustrated talk on his journeys to the Dutch East Indies, and Southwest Pacific in assembly this morning. Mr. Dickason, a world traveler, formerly was a city editor for a large Denver paper; but abandoned this position so he could travel around the world as an author, journalist, and expert photographer. What's Cooking? By NEAL and SMITH • It is our purpose to try and satisfy the need for a weekly jour- , nalistic review by publishing a column to coyer those events and situations which should be of interest to students of WWC, but which have not been given due consideration and of which the students seem completely unaware. A small proportion of our student body has shown by its presence that the 1943 edition'Of the Viking basketball squad officially opened its Winco season in the college gym last week. We pause at this point to remind the students that their student body tickets entitle them to free admission to all home games and that the gym is located direetly adjacent to the campus. As it seems difficult -for most of the students to find their way to the gym on the nights scheduled for home games, we, the editors of this column, will gladly take it upon ourselves to furnish adequate guide service. If that is not sufficient, we will paint arrows from all the organized houses and all the exits of Edens hall,, on all possible pathways leading to the .gym. It is our hope that the enthusiastic rooters, who to date have seen fit to do ali their rooting within the. confines of their respective halls will take our hint and find their way to the gym this evening to witness for the first time, a home game. Believe us, dear inmates of Edens hall, members of the Valky^ rie club, and friends, it is a thrill. Why not try it just once. If you try our suggestion and are disapr pointed with the results, please let us know and we will give you our (Continued on Page Four) Local Club Hears College Registrar • Dr. Merle S. Ruder addressed the Kiwanis club at noon last Tuesday on the subject of vocational guidance. He Illustrated his talk by a discussion on the achievement ' tosts which he gave to the students of Bellingham high school a short ~ time ago. Second Wihko Double Header Features Viks vs. Wildcats Preparing To Meet Powerful Wildcats in Winco Feature; Lappys Vitamin "Boys" Experience Vigorous Work-out • Another double-header basketball game is on tap this Friday and. Saturday nights with the Vikings playing host to the Central Washington Wildcats. The Wildcats are the only team so fat this season to tangle with the powerful Washington Huskies and emerge victorious. The game was played on the Wildcats home floor a few days before the Christmas holidays. Carmody was high for the Wildcats with 11points, and Gilbertson was high for the Huskies with 13 counters. ' ' .«" Clipper Carmody is the ace for- . ward of the Wildcats, as i Nygard. Wiseman is center and Adams and Howard are the guards, filling out the starting line-up. Carmody is one of the best players back this year for. Central. Wiseman, the tallest player on the team, is an excellent shot and is noted for his backboard ability. The Viks this week have been scrimmaging for the forthcoming game. Monday Lappy put the boys through a vigorous work-out. Wit-tren has been bothered by a slight infection in his knee due to floor burns suffered during a turnout, but is expected to be ready to play this week-end. Chuck has been working the team on defensive and offensive plays. The team's percentage of shots made .as compared with those attempted is very favorable and Lappy is working on that point so to keep up the good rating. Lappy stressed the importance of a zone defense and is thinking of using it against the Wildcats. The tentative starting line-up for the Viks is: Lowery, Richardson, Ludwick, Strankmah, and Wlttren. The supervarsity will play a preliminary game each night at 7 o'clock, and the main game will start at 8 p. m. Immediately after Friday night's game the WRA is sponsoring a carnival rec hour in the small gym. All the proceeds Trip To Wenatchee Made By Bushell •"Snow covered the ground," was the comment made Tuesday by Mr. Donald Bushell upon his return from performing in Wenatchee. His first cello performance "was a half hour program given for the Wenatchee high school. This was followed in the afternoon by a full program performed in the American Legion hall for the regular meeting of the Ladies Musical club. The program consisted -of: Sonata (Eckels); Concerto (Bach-Paitigor-sky); Variations on Original Theme (Romberg); and a group of modern French numbers. He was accompanied by Don Smith of Wenatchee. SERVICE ROSTER NOT COMPLETED • According^to Faye Stiles, chair-, man of the service roster committee, plans have not yet been completed for the roster.; This list will consist of the names of former students now in the armed services. The committee assisting the chairman is made up of Irene Chet-wood, Jeanhette Bright, and Shirley Parsells. * Plans are to be completed at their next meeting. Staffs Make Prom Plans • With the Board * Control's permission, plans s^^b^^made for the fourth annu^i^^^Ucations' Prom.

The honored guest and the rest of the gang then proceeded to the WWC-PLC basketball game. Mary Jean Brandstrom is leaving WWC to transfer to Washington State college where she will take up interior decoration. Terrace House Goes in for Stationery Although Christmas was nearly a month ago, each one of us is still wondering how each one of us happened to give each one of us the same kind of stationery. It seems that each one of us didn't know what each one of us was giving each one of us, so each one of us was very surprised when each one of us opened each one of us's presents and saw that each one of us had given each one of us.—Oh, heck! Sis Boom Sezzer Dezzer— Hospice Inn Yells for Bezer 'Plans to develop an enthusiastic and peppy cheering section at all home basketball games are being developed by Hospice members. Every member of Hospice who does not go home will be at tonight and tomorrow night's game, anxious to yell like —: Hospice extends this challenge to all organized houses. We will be sittting in a group at tonights game and we. are willing to wager that we give more and better yells "than any other group, including Edens hall. (If any of the members of said establishment show up at the game.) (|This is Hospice's comment not ye plde editor's.) Edwards Enrollment Decreases After a prolonged absence of news for "ye paper" Edwards hall again is in the limelight. The enrollment of Edwards hall has somewhat decreased this quarter. We have a total of seven scholars la our house. With the lack of men, however, we are still carrying on. Our bowling team took two.games from the independents to go back into a tie for first place with the WWCollegian team (plug). On Tuesday night they dropped a close 25 to 27 basketball game to the Hospice Inn team. Guests over the week-end were George McGuire • and Bill Windsheimer, former resi-idents of Edwards and former WWC students. "Red" McGuire has just returned from the Solomons. C. S.

Tour Suggestion? A week ago Wednesday the Harlem Globe Trotters played to a full house against mediocre opponents at the high school. The following Friday and Saturday the Vikings entertained PLC in two fast games and even the students, who get in free, were conspicuous by their absence. What do we have to do?

Sportsmanship is to hold the spotlight in the second half of intramural basketball play with five teams: Daniels, Edwards, Hospice Unknowns, and Renegades tangling into each other with a new gusto. The winner of this half will qualify to meet last half's champs, Daniels hall. Hospice Proves a Threat Sparked by former Naval Cadet Art Stenson, with eight counters, Hospice proved themselves a real threat in second half competition. A real thriller brought up the curtain as Hospice edged out Edwards in the dying minutes of the ball game by a score of 27 to 25. Ed .Hickenbottom fared well for the losers with 10 points.

In both games the Viks ran up great margins early in the first half, and gained leads which the hapless Lutherans could never overcome, although they outscored the Vikings in the second half of the opener by one point. Strankman Surprises The scores of the games tell the story very well. The tally of points in the first game was 50 to 37, and the last one was won by a 46 to 30 count. Lappy was able to use a total of fourteen players in each game, so plenty of the boys saw action, and gained experience that will help them a great deal against Ellensburg tonight. Wittren led the scoring Friday with 15 markers and Ludwick tallied 13 on Saturday night. Strankman, who was the surprise of the series, earned a starting berth for the second game on the virtue of his brilliant performance on Friday evening when he made 10 points. He also did well the second battle by making eight points. Ludwick had the high series total of 21 markers, while Wittren had 19 and tied with Paul Polillo of the Lutherans. Supervarsity Wins The Supervarsity won both preliminaries against service teams. Ralph Major led with 11 on Friday night, as they edged out the Goodman-coached Coast Guard, 42 to 41.

He is undoubtedly one of the hardest working men on the squad when he is on the floor, although he doesn't get a great many points. In high school, he was second high scorer in his senior year and also an all-conference berth winner the same year. He won his letter in baseball as an outfielder as well as two years in basketball. He is another one of the Army Air corps reservists, and like the rest of the reserves is waiting to be called in soon. By the way, any of the non-tee totalers that ever visit the Grays Harbor district are invited to visit our personality's "rich uncle," who has quite a reputation around some of the organized houses on the hill.

Eventually Huxley College, the Institute for Fresh Water Studies,and geology and biology departments will occupy the new building. Classes held amidst construction byPAT DUGGAN Someone apparently was just a little bit overly optimistic about space scheduling thisspring quarter and assigned several classes to the Northwest Environmental Studies Center (NWESC),which is still undergoing final stages of construction on the south side of campus. While some of thoseclasses have chosen to remain in their quarters, amid the rumbling noises of machinery, others haveopted for quieter surroundings. Originally, the completion deadline for the five-story structure had beenscheduled for fall quarter 1972. But, due to weather, soil conditions and rock excavations, this date waspushed forward to December and finally, to May. According to staff architect Maurice Moore, whohandles the project for Campus Planning, construction should be finished by May 1. Full occupancy ofthe building is expected by summer quarter 1973. One of the most outstanding features of the new,exposed-concrete structure, is that its core has been left hollow. This area, called an atrium, is coveredat the top of the building by a skylight. The design is intended to make piping easily accessible, as wellas providing for expanded growth. The center, which is predominately a laboratory building, has 58,000square feet allotted for academic use. The majority of these areas will be taken up by Huxley College,geology, biology and the Institute for Fresh Water Studies. Huxley and geology will establishdepartmental headquarters in the new building, while biology and the Fresh Water Institute will beprovided laboratory and classroom space. In addition, there are areas of the center designated for all-college use. These spaces, at present, are confined to the ground level of the building and include fiveseminar rooms, one large classroom and a lecture hall, seating 76. Parts of the new building will remainunfinishedâ€”some portions because of lack of funds and others because of deliberate allowances forgrowth expansion. The original NWESC blueprints had called for facilities for piping in sea water andother materials, but since contract bids exceeded legislature allotments, such items are beingeliminated in the actual construction of the building. However, conduits have been installed in the eventthat the funds are appropriated. , Additional seminar rooms are also planned for the center, as well asthe extension of existing laboratory space. Provisions for their completion will have to be included in afuture budget request to the legislature, but the time of its submittal will depend largely on collegeenrollment gains and classroom s scheduling demands. Currently there are no plans for any elaboratelandscaping of the area. "At this point, nothing more than grass will be planted," said Moore. This is due, in part, to the construction of the Social Sciences building, adjacent to the center. Eventually, these two buildings will be connected- by a third-floor skybridge and a basement tunnel. The NorthwestEnvironmental Studies Center is the first in a series of buildings planned for the development of thesouthern portion of Western's campus. Future structures, tentatively on the jdrawing board, but not yetallotted funding for, include a second social, sciences building, in addition to the one already underconstruction, and a new student union building. Moore explained that since the present Viking Union, as situated, attracts mainly off-campus students, the new facility would provide a more accessiblegathering place for residents of Fairhaven, Buchanan Towers, Birnam Wood and the Ridgeway DormComplex. Whether or not, these proposed structures will be actually realized, according to Moore,depends on legislative action when "growth requires it." Inside...

Elizabethan actors take stage in VU coffee den by DAVE PETERSON Wearing his Elizabethan-style top hat and newly grown beard "to get the feel of the thing," Dan Larner of the English departmentprepared for his play, "The Death of Christopher Marlowe." The one-act play is Larner's "imaginativeversion of Marlowe's death" and should not be taken as a historically accurate work. Marlowe was acontemporary of the other Elizabethan great, William Shakespeare, who was born two' months earlier. At his death in 1593 at the age of 29, he was a famous playwright while Shakespeare was hardly known. In this version, however, Marlowe is an older contemporary of the Bard. This was done because Larnerwanted to show Marlowe as finding "in the growth of Shakespeare's playwriting a world he cannot live in."Marlowe was the first to give blank verse to the English stage but was ultimately outshined byShakespeare's swiftly written plays. "The Death of Christopher Marlowe" takes place in the late sixteenth century, utilizing the costumes and manners of the period. It was written not just for its tragic effect butalso, as Larner stressed repeatedly, to "engage in the beauty of the music and rhythm of theElizabethan's style." Instead of the blank verse that these masters are noted for, Larner chose to writethe dialogue in prose. The idea for the play came to Larner during his stay in London last year. Whiletrying to write a poem he grew very cynical, as often befalls those who attempt to write but findexpression rather elusive. But through his cynicism he began to work with the Elizabethan style,gradually falling under its spell- He found the subject of Marlowe's death through his own attitudes andsituation and began to create the play, giving Marlowe the same cynical feeling that he, himself, felt.Marlowe's failure to cope with the Elizabethan world of art and Larner's same attitude with the presentworld of the "impossible theatre" lead to the play's plot and the imaginative reason for his death. Thecharacters in the play, other than Marlowe, who Larner portrays, are John Garoutte as WilliamShakespeare, Stuart Paxton as a proper Londoner named James Tunbridge, Dale Carlson as a Spanishvisitor named Philip de Costa and Dennis Catrell, who also directs the play, as the bartender. The setting for Marlowe's death is the Viking Union Coffee Den. Because of its small size and tiny stage the play will be performed all around the room and the audience instead of in the traditional manner. When askedwhether he would use the services of the stage at all Larner replied, "Yes, it is used at one point, butunder no duress will I reveal its purpose." At a time when many people seem to be complaining of abasic lack of the arts on campus, this important and unusual event should be well-received. The half-hour long play will be shown tonight and tomorrow at 8:15 and 9:15 p.m. Admission is free. Grocers inBellingham generally agree that people on food stamps are buying more expensively than they should,considering their circumstances. But who, specifically, is doing this is in disagreement. One manager ofa northside supermarket said, "It's not just college kidsâ€”a good mixture buy better quality food ingeneral." Two southside grocers (who get a greater number of student shoppers) disagreed. "Thestudents buy the steaks. I notice them buying items I 'd consider expensive. The young ones tend tobuy more expensively." Canned crab, expensive cuts of beef, fresh fish and other Fund drive startstoday A fund-raising drive to aid the proposed Whatcom County Rural Health Clinic started today in front of the VU. The clinic in Lynden, to begin operating June 1, is funded by the department of Health,Education and Welfare (HEW). However, HEW funds do not cover operating expenses to bring thebuilding up to state health standards. Funds to cover operating costs are to be taken when the Office ofEconomic Opportunity (OEO) is finally disbanded. The clinic, aimed primarily to aid migrant families inthe Lynden area, will have one part-time doctor, one or two nurses, five full-time and eight part-timehealth aids. For further information contact Maurizio Saavedra at the MECHA office. Amnesty talk TodEnsign, legal counsel for Safe Return, will speak on the issue of amnesty for draft dodgers and militarydeserters at 3 p.m. today in the VU lounge. Safe Return is a New York based non-profit organizationdedicated to unconditional amnesty for all draft dodgers and deserters of the Vietnam war. The event issponsored by the Bellingham Chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Admission is free. fooditems are sometimes bought on food stamps. "The people using this program are living better than Iam," said one grocer. Another said he hears comments like "I wish I could afford to buy something thatexpensive," from shoppers watching food stamp users. One commented, however, "Students are moreaware of what's nutritiousâ€”the older people feel it's more important to fill their kids' stomachs." Noneaccused students alone of buying extravagantly. "Expensive buying has become more prevalent in thelast two to three years. I don't think they [food stamp buyers in general] shop wisely." Possible reasons mentioned for the unwise buying were: "Either they're getting too many stamps, or they're buying whatthey want in order to save, rather than in cheap chantity." "They've lost their value of the dollar." Saga to serve union lettuce Saga is serving United Farmworker's (UFW) lettuce. After a two-year wait for UFWlettuce and a two-month long boycott started by MECHA, Western's Chicano organization, Sagareceived its first shipment of union lettuce Monday morning. Food Services Director Riley SilvertsenSaid that Saga will continue to use farmworker's lettuce, although "how long it will last I don't know."We're going to do our part," he added. However, there might be a shortage of UFW lettuce in the future, and Saga will buy non-union lettuce if necessary, he explained. Signs in eating areas explaining thatnon-union lettuce is being used will go back up if non-union lettuce is purchased again. I n the past,Western had used lettuce picked by non-union workers in California. The produce was then given a union label by the Teamsters, whose members ship the produce. Few students aware of Learning Resources lab One facility few students know about on Western's campus is the Learning Resources Laboratoryin Miller Hall 60. The laboratory, developed by Leslie Blackwell of the education department, consists of a resource section and a production area that all Westerns students may use. i The laboratory is openfor use Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdaysfrom 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It is also open Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9. The resource area contains f i lm s t r ip projectors, tape recorders, 16mm movie projectors, phonographs, opaque and overheadprojectors and video tape equipment. Each piece of equipment has instructions, and students learn o pe r a t i v e skills in a self-instructional program. Lab directors are available to answer questions. In theproduction area, students learn to make visual aids such as transparencies for opaque projectors. Thereis also a camera for copy work and a drymount press for mounting and lamentation. The latest-additions to the lab are a ditto machine and a portable darkroom. ON THE AIR-Patti Claus, Senior, is showndemonstrating the use of a video tape machine. ---------- Western Front - 1973 April 13 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, April 13, 1973 Western Front Alternative offered to new student teachers by MARY LUEASTHAM "We focus on what we accomplish rather than what we do. Teaching is an art, and the onlyway you can learn art is by doing it," commented John Schenk, clinical professor and president of theBellingham Education Association. He is the advisor of a new practice-teaching program at Westernknown as "clinical teaching" which is in its third quarter. Schenk continued by explaining that in thetraditional one-quarter student-teaching program, the emphasis seems to have been on the evaluation ofthe student teacher. In the two-quarter clinical program the emphasis is on how much the class Arelaxed but structured program is conducted. The floor is used as often as the chairs to conductclasses. learns. In other words, have they accomplished what the clinical teacher wants them to? Astudent may choose either way to satisfy his field experience. If he chooses the two-quarter clinicalprogram, Larry Swift of the education faculty urges him to do so early in his college career, becausesome shuffling has to be done. The student spends two entire quarters at the field school, receiving fullcredit for each quarter. Several on-campus classes are waived. The first quarter, or the ."lab phase,"includes observation, individual study, seminars with the clinical professor and counseling. Studentsdevelop the skills and confidence necessary to demonstrate that they can teach before they actuallybegin. The second quarter, or "practicum phase," lets, students take responsibility for the learning ofpupils. "The clinical teacher becomes sort of a junior partner to the classroom teacher," Schenk said."We even refer to them as 'clinical' teachers rather than 'student' teachers because we find the pupilshave more respect for them." The two quarters must be done consecutively, i.e., fall-winter, winter-springor spring-fall. The program is currently being conducted at Roosevelt Grade School. It is the newestschool in Bellingham, just a year old, and it was designed for flexibility. Classroom areas are designated by movable walls which can be opened to allow space for large group activity or closed to form separate classrooms. Accoustical ceilings and carpeting throughout the building eliminate noise. "A relaxed butstructured program is conducted here," Schenk said. "The floor is used as often as the chairs to conductclasses." Several work centers are set up in the rooms, and the pupils can choose what they want tostudy at designated times. At first the scene appears confused and chaotic, but it is soon evident thatthe pupils are well organized. Some read quietly at the reading center, and others get help with theirwriting from the clinical teacher. At the same time another pupil may get individual help with his mathfrom the classroom teacher. Since the building and teaching situation is so unique, it attracts manyvisitors; but the pupils move about with very little notice of the people wandering in and out. JudySchoultz, Western senior, is in her practicum phase and has a fourth grade class. "I think it is a greatprogram. You really get to know the kids," she said. She feels like this is really "her class" and says,"It's going to be hard to give them up in June." Swift stated that the education department is trying toexpand the program for next year to include other grade schools in Bellingham. He says they are limitedsomewhat financially but are trying to communicate with principals and staffs at the various schools tomake them aware of the program. "We're anxious to talk to teachers in other schools in the district inthe hope that they will choose to participate," Swift said.

A question that keeps popping up, however, is "Where have all the trailers gone?" Theanswer is Bakerview Mobile Home Park which is now nearing completion in north Bellingham. Nearly allof the college's 43 mobile homes are now ready for occupancy, according to Pete Coy, Western'shousing director. Coy said that facilities at the new park are designed to attract primarily marriedstudents with children, although any student may rent a trailer. "Married students with children will begiven priority," Coy said in a telephone interview last week, "but we don't expect the trailers to fill upright away, so any student has a good chance of getting in." T h e t w o - b e d r o om unfurnished unitswill rent for $110 per month. This price includes water, sewer and garbage services. Several empty lotswill be available at $50 per month for students who wish to move in their own trailers. Kathy and JimWestover, Western's resident directors at the park, feel that the facilities will be ideal for small families."I plan to start my own pre-school as soon as the park begins to fill up," Mrs. Westover said in aninterview Wednesday. She is currently the coordinator of the Mt. Baker Cooperative Pre-School. Otherfacilities will include children's play areas, a recreation building, laundry machines, putting greens, tennis and volleyball courts and boat storage areas. According to Coy, all facilities should be completed bythe beginning of summer quarter. The park is located just south of W. Bakerview Road betweenNorthwest Avenue and Guide M e r i d i a n Road. M rs. Westover said that the site is close to shoppingcenters and only 10 minutes from the college by freeway. Each site includes parking space, a smallpatio and a storage shed, according to Mrs. Westover. Each of the all-electric trailers is equipped with a stove, refrigerator and built-in dressers in the bedrooms. Telephone and TV cable services are available.All utilities are underground. "They (the contractors) were very picky about leaving a lot of trees,"commented Mrs. Westover. She added that the park is located well off any main roads, whichcontributes to an atmosphere of tranquility. "It's usually very quiet here," she said. ^CALICO INN ^Pancake House 19 VARIETIES OF DELICIOUS PANCAKES IN ADDITION TO SANDWICHES, STEAKS AND DINNERS Open 7 days a week from 6am to 10pm SAMISH EXIT at 1-5 We are a FamilyRestaurant \ So Bring Your Family o n 'MEW!

IjL Rotary lunch yield s mixed results Sociology and anthropology graduatesgraded the Soc/Anth d e p a r t m e n t highest in encouraging student initiative, and lowest in thedegree to which the curriculum provided them with practical experience, in a survey conducted byGeorge Drake's methodology class. The survey was sent to 491 graduates with at least a B.A. insociology and anthropology, and 122 responded. The sample includes graduates from 1966 to thepresent, but most of the responses came from the classes of 1971 and 1972, giving them an opinion ofthe department as it is today. One of the strongest messages that came from the S/A graduates was astrong encouragement for field experience or an internship. Out of the 122 students polled, 76 areworking full time, 18 are working part time, and 11 are not working. Only 43 per cent said that theirpresent job was related to their major of soc/anth. One third of the respondents experienced difficulty ingetting a job. The advice of one graduate was, "Students: Get as much field experience, internships, and volunteering as you can. It really helps when job-hunting time rolls around. GPA is hardly noticed." The students rated the department low in its adequacy of preparation for jobs. Seven said that the jobprepared them "very well;" 17, "well;" 40, "adequately;" 19, "poorly;" and 11, "very poorly." Mostgraduates surveyed are employed by education establishments, rather than social service agencies. "Itis clear," the class analysis of the survey states, "that most of the graduates of the S/A Department gointo teaching while human services careers is a follow-up area." Only 23 out of the 122 surveyedpursued higher education instead of looking immediately for a job. Only 13 of these stayed in theSoc/Anth field. The graduates commented on the teaching methods and structure of the department.The informality of the department was highly rated, as was the use of in-class discussion. Opportunityfor independent study that the department offers was also praised. Generally, the graduates thoughtgrades fair, but exams and lectures were considered ineffective. Grads favored the use of discussion and dialogue. Blood drive needs sponsor A student group is needed by the Student Health Service tosponsor its quarterly blood drive. The volunteer group will coordinate the drive with the help of R.N. JeanMitchell, a nurse at the health center. Last quarter the blood drive brought in 57 units of blood. It wasthen donated to the Whatcom County Blood Bank as a community service sponsored by Western. Anygroup or organization at Western interested in helping should contact nurse Mitchell at the StudentHealth Service located in lower Edens Hall. lt;M Â«K/' 50 PERSONALS in the 2 for 1 classifieds.

Funds needed for day care Western's co-opnursery is sponsoring a garage and rummage sale tomorrow from 9.a.m. to 6 p.m. at 700 Donovan St.in an effort to raise funds to cover a $500 deficit in its budget. Although the emphasis will be onchildren's clothes, any contributions are welcome. They can be brought directly to the nursery today,located in dorms 11 and 12 at Fairhaven college, or they can be brought directly to the sale tomorrow.The deficit was created when the nursery staff had to go on civil service, and unbudgeted matchingemployer funds from parents had to be taken out of operating funds. The nursery is asking for anallocation of $7,547 from the school for the next biennium. This will be matched with $7,682 from theparticipating co-op members. This quarter's $2421.38 budget is funded entirely by co-op members.Matching funds from the AS have already been used. ---------- Western Front - 1973 April 13 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, April 13, 1973 Western Front tht^uÂ»ttÂ«rn front editorial No-fault divorce logical Once again theguardians of public morality are running rampant through the cloistered halls of the state legislature. Butfor once it seems they've been given a setback. The senate has reversed its earlier vote and, overstrenuous objection by some of those guardians, has passed the no-fault divorce bill. Opponents of thebill claim that easier divorces will have a detrimental effect on children, marriage and the morals ofsociety. Apparently they do not recognize the effects on children who are living in a disintegratingmarriage which is held together only by strict divorce laws, or children who live through a divorce in whichone parent is assigned all blame for the breakup. The bill recognizes only one ground for divorce: amarriage that is impossible to reconcile.* That is the most logical reason-and probably the most common reason, despite the ones listed in divorce actions. People make mistakes in love as in anything else. Inorder to rectify those mistakes, people should not be forced to manufacture false circumstances to prove"grounds", nor should they be forced to assign blame for the divorce. A divorce is traumatic enough to allthe people involved without adding recriminations, hatred and guilt. oommentory] Faculty Council awaste Western has a number of committees, councils, etc., through which the faculty, supposedly,influences the formulation of policies. I have recently resigned from one such body, the Faculty Council,because I had come to believe that such service to this college has become a waste of time. I hadserved nearly two years on the Council and this year, until my resignation, served as its chairman. Iquote from my letter of resignation: ". . . The circumstances attending the March 1st Board of Trusteesmeeting indicate that neither the President nor the Board takes the Senate seriously . . . . The President deliberately failed to take the Senate into his full confidence before presenting his plan for administrative reorganization to the Board; and the Board failed even to discuss the Senate's - recommendations intheir hurry to approve everything the President asked for." " In the case of the Faculty Council thesituation is, perhaps, even more disheartening. [The President] has continued to brief me, as Chairman of the Council, on forthcoming Board meetings . . . . Nevertheless,, when preparing me for the March 1stmeeting, he failed to inform me that he had taken portions of [the Sauer] Committee's report and sentthem, unfinished and fragmentary as they were, to the Board of Trustees. I cannot believe that thisomission was anything other than a deception; at any rate it worked to the disadvantage of the faculty ". . . the Trustees themselves showed anything but respect for the Faculty Council. Their attitude towardthe faculty could be interpreted as annoyance, but it struck me as thinly veiled contempt. . . . theFaculty Council has been duly elected . . . to represent faculty interests and supposedly continues toenjoy official recognition by the Board. It is incredible that the Board should have been unwilling even todiscuss a request of the Council, but that is what happened." Campus "governance" here has become,as I see it, a facade; and I decided no longer to be a part of that facade. It was a difficult decision, and Iwould be pleased if my colleagues who continue to serve on the Councilâ€”and on the Senateâ€”couldprove me wrong. Or if the Board itself decided to respond to the faculty. If the Board really wishes-torepair the harm of the March 1st meeting, it might begin by reconsidering its de facto establishment of aSchool of Education. This action was taken by the Board and despite overwhelming opposition to boththe Dean's Advisory Council and the Faculty Council. I am confident that it is generally disliked by thefaculty and that, reconsideration would be welcomed. And such action would speak louder than words of regret. In any case I am not without hope; nor am I apathetic. Through collective bargaining I expect thefaculty to reassert its traditional voice and rediscover its professional^ dignity. A collective bargainingagent would never become an agency of campus governance, but it could insist that campus governancebe taken seriously, by the president and by the board. At a collective bargaining session the participants would meet as equals, and some meaningful communication would take place.

Quit stalling, High Street should close permanently Editor, WesternFront: I do not believe that anyone has yet made issue of the increased convenience and lowered noiselevels which have r e s u l t e d f r o m the construction-forced closure of High Street. I, for one, havebeen delighted with the absence of Speakers corner for preachers Dear Editor: I find the haranguing of certain "Christian Activists" at lunch-time to be quite repulsive. Does anyone else? In an attempt toavoid this pitiful tirade I climbed a portion of Sehome Hill-hoping to eat my lunch in an environmentconducive to digestion. To my dismay I could s t i l l hear the sermon. Fortunately, the noise of themachines in the vicinity of Old Main came to my aid. Shortly thereafter the speaker may have beenseized upon, or else he may have been busy passing around a collection plate because the sermonceased. Since Miller Hall blocked my view I am unable to verify these theories. The following question is addressed to these "Christian Activists": How would you react if I were to expound on the "CommunistManifesto" (or any other source of my choice) in Red Square? To all Western students: Isn't it a shamethat a Speaker's Corner (as in Hyde Park, London) doesn't exist in a corner of this campus? KimberleyHadley junior noisy cars at 3 a.m., not having to worry about being run down by garbage trucks orbuses in front of the VU and am further enthused by the possibilities of a pedestrian mall extending from College Hall to the present barricade just below the Viking Commons. Doesn't it sound nice? What Iam suggesting is that before High Street is opened after the completion of the present construction, anew appeal should be made to the Bellingham City Council to close the street to vehicle trafficpermanently. The time-worn issues of "having to get used to a new traffic pattern" and "feasibilitystudies" are only so much stalling. - No one in the rest of the community gripes when the street isclosed for construction, and everyone has gotten used to the idea of using Garden Street in the pastthree months. Let's keep High Street closed, safe and quiet beyond this short period of time. Or perhaps the contractors can "forget" to fill a six-foot hole when they are d o n e . . . .

SySchwartz Education faculty ---------- Western Front - 1973 April 13 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front. Friday, April 13, 1973 Western club gives novice sailing buffs free lessons, ridesLEARNING THE ROPES-Ken Lousks demonstrates rigging procedure to beginning seamen at Lakewood. by CORINNE TAYLOR Free sailing lessons, taught by skippers of the Viking Yacht Club (VVC), areavailable at Lakewood every Saturday morning. Rides leave the Viking Union parking lot at 9 a.m. for the Western-owned property situated on^the south shore of Lake Whatcom. "We've had people get theirnovice card in three hours," remarked Mike Coon, commadore of the VYC, when asked how difficult itwas for a beginner to learn to sail. Having 0 a novice card permits a person to take a sailboat out aloneas long as there is a skipper around at all times. A skipper's card takes about a quarter to earn, Coonsaid. Lakewood boasts nine 13-foot sloop-rig-centerboard sailboats and two 12-foot cat-rig-centerboardsailboats These class boats are often used in racing. Racing will be taught on Sundays this spring atLakewood. Newcomers to racing should practice this spring and plan to crew for a skipper this fall, Coon suggested. â€¢ Individuals who privately own large sailing vessels have previously taken students sailing in Bellingham Bay. Coon says he is trying to revive this and requests that all interested people contacthim through the Outdoor Program, VU304. A large group is needed to make it worthwhile for theskippers. Besides sailing and canoeing, Lakewood offers picnic areas and fireplaces along the beach to have a pleasant lunch after a hard morning of sailing. Collective bargaining passed by committeeWestern athlete judged not guilty in assault case A bill giving students a voice in collective bargainingwas approved by the Senate Higher Education Committee. Although students couldn't vote under thebill, they could sit on bargaining talks as either neutrals or one side or the other. If the bill passes,faculty members of the state's four colleges and two universities can ask for bargaining unit status by apetition of 30 per cent of their members. Western's chapter of the American Federation of Teachers(AFT) has already completed a pledge card drive which garnered about 60 per cent of the faculty. JohnBarton, a lobbyist for the state teacher's union, claimed that "collective bargaining is an inherent right ofa citizen" and a bill was thereby unnecessary.

Steve Kirsop, junior, was found not guilty of ~ a third degreeassault charge last week in Bellingham by Whatcom District Court Judge Jack Kurtz. The charge wasfiled against Kirsop following his early morning arrest last Feb. 24 for allegedly driving his car at Security Patrolman Dave Doughty. The incident occurred after Kirsop refused to produce identification requested by Doughty, who then stood in front of Kirsop's car to prevent him from leaving while Bellingham Policewere summoned. Doughty reportedly was forced to jump onto the hood of the car to avoid being struckwhen Kirsop tried to leave the Nash Hall parking lot where he was dropping off a friend. Kirsopmaintained that the patrolman had no justifiable reason to request identification and saw the incident asa "misunderstanding on the part of both sides as to who had the right to do what." In a telephoneinterview earlier this week, Kirsop stated that he felt "inadequate training" of the security patrolman asto' his duties was in part to blame for the incident. "We need something to govern what they (security)can and can't do," he said. "The gray area is massive." R.G. Peterson, head of Western's securityoffice, stated in an interview last Tuesday that, although the court ruled in favor of Kirsop on the assaultcharge, Judge Kurtz maintained that the security patrolman had "every right" to request Kirsop'sidentification "under the circumstances." Peterson had a tape recording of the court proceedings to back up his statement. Peterson claimed that Nash Nail and the adjacent parking lot had been subject toseveral cases of theft and vandalism in recent weeks, and that checking identification of "suspicious"persons in such an area is "standard policy." He added that Kirsop and a companion were observedsitting in Kirsop's car for several minutes before patrolman Doughty approached the vehicle. "All theyhad to do was show their I.D.," said Peterson, "and that would have ended it." News source billabandoned A bill dealing with the protection of reporters' new sources is dead in House of R e p r e s en t a t i v e s Rules Committee, where it will be left for the remainder of this session-of the StateLegislature. Paul Conrad, executive director of Allied Daily News and a major lobbyist for news sourceprotection said, "After House Bill 345 passed out of the House Judiciary Committee with a couple ofamendments added on to it, the news organizations, the Weekly Association, Allied Daily news and thebroadcasters association were disassociating ourselves with the whole subject of legislation for thissession. William Denend, the clerk for the House Judicial committee said the amendments added in the judicial committee were added "because there was some concern that if the bill was too broad that itmight be abused. What we had in mind was to put it on the same basis as the p r i v i l e g e accordedan attorney-client relationship." Conrad said, "There was one added in committee to the effect that onlyinformation which had been legally obtained would come under the provision of the law, and even thatlimitation we didn't find acceptable," Denend, referring to the amendment, commented, "The defendanthas the burden of proof to show that the identification of the source would not be necessary to prove the issues or produce evidence on the issues or that there is other equally usable evidence available without going to the source." Conrad added that, "We knew that on the Senate side t h e r e would be moreamendments proposed, and we found the climate on the Senate side very hostile to this legislation. Theclimate being such as it was, we just decided as soon not press the issue now." Specks on lawnFertilizer may harm bay The little blue and white specks which appeared on Western's lawns earlier thisweek are a three to five per cent nitrate fertilizer/weed killer.

Jim Swan of Huxley said introducing nitrates into theaquasystem could either be toxic or cause an algal bloom. He said the result would depend on theecology of the water. An algal bloom is the rapid growth of algae, attributable to an increase in nutrients,such as that provided by fertilizer. Robert Mickelson, grounds supervisor, said the spreading programwas instituted in place of the spraying plan to protect the air. He said the spreading method was the only alternative left to kill weeds. "We don't want to lose the grass," he said. Mickelson also said he did not want any more difficulty with complaints. "If there is any more squawking," he said, "I will be jumpingup and down." ---------- Western Front - 1973 April 13 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, April 13/1973 Western Front "front V.

Western track coach Dick Bowman is. planning to use tomorrow's WesternInvitational track meet as a relaxing meet for his Vikings following two impressive dual meet wins.Tomorrow afternoon's meet at the Civic Stadium will open with field events at 12:45 with the first runningevent at 1:30. Bowman has invited just track clubs to compete in the meet. Teams scheduled to appear are the Snohomish Track Club, the Vancouver (B.C.) Olympic Club, Vancouver, Optimist Stridders andClub Northwest which is made up primarily of former tracksters at the University of Washington. "It'sdifficult to try and get a track man to peak every single week for every meet," Bowman said, "so we'regoing to use this meet as a training period and try to improve on our best performances." Bowman saidhe invited only clubs because "there simply are not enough "meets around open to clubs so that theseguys who love to run can run in real competition." The Western coach said that the Viks have a goodchance of winning because most clubs are made up primarily of distance runners with not so muchdepth in most other events. " H o w e v e r , " Bowman cautioned, "The Vancouver clubs do have a guyin most every event and should be very powerful." The Invitational comes after the Viks have scored dual meet victories over Puget Sound and Eastern Washington by scores of 78-67 and 83-62 respectively.not know if the Huskies would bring their number three boat and indicated that they may expect atougher crew. "We expect a pretty good crowd," Morton said. "People should be really interested, and Ithink that a lot of people are going to be surprised. They'll be able to see everything." The finish line forall the races will be at the bridge. Robin Tenney, the other female coxswain, is temporarily sidelinedwith a throat irritation. The schools competing tomorrow are Oregon State University, Pacific Lutheran,Seattle University, University of Washington and Western. Tennis team wins again, beating SimonFraser 8-1 Vikings lose to Central Central proved once again to be the master of Western's tennissquad by beating the Vikings 8-1 yesterday afternoon on the Viking courts. The loss now leaves theVikings with a 2-1 record. Western defeated the University of Puget Sound two weeks ago and SimonFraser University last Tuesday. The Viking tennis team won its second straight victory of the seasonwhen they trounced Simon Fraser University 8-1 last Tuesday in Burnaby, B.C. This is the Clansmen'smaiden year of intercollegiate varsity competition in tennis. Women's track team to open seasontomorrow In Seattle by SHERRY STRIPLING Western's women's track team opens its season tomorrow at the University of Washington with four nationally ranked spikers returning from last year. Returningare Wendy Taylor, 100 yard dash and Shirley Swanson, 440 yard dash, both are third place winners atthe National Meet last year and eighth place winners Sue Stange, high jump, and Sherry Stripling,javelin. Taylor, a Canadian citizen holds the National Record for the 100 meter low hurdles with a time of 11.06. She competes for the Vancouver optimist striders and is trying out for the Pan-Pacific Team. ACanadian scholarship almost made her ineligible to compete for Western this year until a recent rulechange was made by the Association of/ Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Swanson competes during the summer for the Northwest Striders, an AAU team from Bellingham and Stripling is a member ofTrack Club. Seattle's Falcon Coach Alta Hansen expects the 440 yard relay and the 880 medley relayto be exceptionally strong this year. The 880 medley relay took third at the National Meet last season.Hansen also hopes to have good results from- Shirley Hidelshima in the hurdles and sprints, MarilynPowell in the long jump and Brenda Davis in the high jump. "We should be stronger in the runningevents this year but we will probably be about the same in the field events as last year," Hansen said. Ifit is at all possible to raise the funds, Hansen hopes to send up to five girls to the National Meet againthis year. The five who are most likely to go are Taylor, Swanson, Stange, Stripling and a fifth sprinterneeded to round out the 880 medley relay. The meet will be held in Hayward, Calif., at the University ofCalifornia. Western will travel to Kalispel Mont, for the Northwest Regional meet May 18, and 19, whichwill be hosted by Flathead Valley Community College. The District meet will be held May 5, at CivicField in Bellingham. The Vikings overpowered their inexperienced foes as the numbers four and fivesingles, Mark Bjornstrom and Rob Harcus, took their opponents 6-0, 6-0. Randy Zielinski ..was almostas thorough, winning 6-0, 6-1. Dale Patterson, the Viks number one man, needed three sets to disposeof SFU's Phil Campbell.

Scenes like that contributed to the fact that "The Devils" was rated X when first released.Seeing it, one wonders why it was X-ed at all. When first released, "The Devils" was considered a badfilm by many critics; instead, it turns out to be a remarkable film. Especially effective are the massscenes where "possessed" nuns run around nude while a demented priest attempts to exorcise the Devil from them. In these scenes director Ken Russell's intentions of showing what atrocities men will perform in the name of religion are stated loud and clear. It is a bold statement and may explain that what thecritics were upset about in "The Devils" was not "The Devils" at all, but that " J o n a t h a n LivingstonSeagull," by Richard Bach, has been selected by the Book of the Quarter committee as the subject forits traditional panel discussions. The topic for the first discussion, to be held April 24, will be "ThePoetry of Flight. P a r t i c i p a t i n g faculty Friday, April 13,1973 Russell attacks religion. Subtractingthese scenes would be like making "The Godfather" without ketchup. As for the rest of the film, some of it is lyrical to the point of prosiness. One suspects that although Russell is treading where angels fearto, he isn't willing to go all the way. But there is still a delightful portrait of decadence in Louis XIII, andVanessa Redgrave as a hunchbacked nun is superb. Even though her role is smaller than Reed's, onebides one's time until she is on the screenâ€”ravaged and foaming at the mouth. Reed is a rather dullactor. However, even though he is given some long-winded speeches that one wishes had beentrimmed, his screams of agony are done in style.

Okay, lots of clowns are scary, but not fiellinQnam'sViolet Lavender. Accent, page 7 Wednesday, July 24, 1996 Volume 97 Issue 5 WESTERN FRONTWestern Washington University Bellingham, Washington Castaneda to appeal firing at hearing set fornext fall By Gene Metrick The Western Front Associate professor Omar Castaneda will appeal his firing in a hearing before the Faculty Grievance Committee this fall. An attorney or an administrative lawjudge will be selected to preside over a formal adjudicative hearing that will be scheduled for lateSeptember or early October, said Wendy Bohlke, assistant state attorney general who representsWestern. Bohlke said she and Castafieda's attorney, Robert Butler, will confer on the selection of apresiding official for the hearing sometime in August. "(This case) is of great import to the individualinvolved and to the university in general," she said, but added that the university will not publiclycomment on its position until the process runs its course. Butler said the case was importantbecause any decision based on Castafieda's off-campus behavior on his own time could affect otherprofessors' rights in the future. "One of the key issues in this case is determining where a professor'sprivacy begins and ends and what role the university has in sanctioning private behavior," said Butler.Western President Karen Morse fired Castaneda on May 15 after he admitted to illegal drug use duringhis trial in Whatcom County Superior Court for possession of heroin and amphetamines. The chargesagainst him, which stemmed from an October 1995 arrest in Ferndale, were later dismissed due to anillegal police search and seizure. Castaneda Front/File photo Castaneda had been on a yearlong paid professional leave that was suspended by the university in February. In firing Castaneda, Morseoverruled a recommendation by the grievance committee that he be censured and lose pay for onequarter. Morse said that her decision was based upon her "high regard for Western's faculty" and thatshe felt Castafieda's actions to be incompatible with his position at the university. Members of thecommittee who have been contacted have declined to comment on the case while it is still pending.Bohlke said Morse's action is a preliminary decision until it is reviewed and ruled on by the Board ofTrustees. After the appeal process in the case is over, the record of the grievance committee's hearingwill be forwarded to the Board for a final decision. The appeal is being processed under a formal facultygrievance procedure, which sets out specific guidelines for a professor to contest actions ordecisions that he or she feels to be unreasonable, arbitrary or a misapplication of establisheduniversity procedures. "There has been great care taken to ensure that his due process rights havebeen followed," said professor George Cvetkovich, president of the Faculty Senate. "Representatives ofthe American Association of University Professors (AAUP) have been there with him to advise him of his rights." In a written statement released June 10, the executive board of See Appeal, page 2 will link up state's students K-20 Network will expand educational resources By Adam Edinger The Western Front The idea of taking classes taught by a professor at Washington State University without leavingWestern's campus might seem impossible, but it's not with the K-20 Network, and the first phaseshould be in the works by next year. The K -20 Network is a system that will con-nect all of theschools in the state, f r o m k i n d e r gartens to g r a d u a te s c h o o l s . The network willcombine existing computer tie-ins with satellite link-ups, allowing for increased use of the internet,video teleconferencing and other interactive technologies. Governor Mike Lowry says, "This will greatlyexpand a student's access to knowledge." The first goal is to connect the state's colleges anduniversities. This is expected to be in working order by January 1997. This will allow students to takeclasses taught by professors from a different university, like the University of Washington orWashington State, without ever leaving the campus of the university that the student is attending. "Itwill be important to us in the long run on fighting for afford ability to go to college, being able to get moreclasses and staying close to home," Lowry said. "And actually, we will soon see the day where you could just s t a y home." Lowry says that it will ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^â„¢ allow students to take classes from anywhere. The K-20 Network will greatly expand the offerings available to students at a moreaffordable cost because it will let people stay home and choose courses that interest them regardlessof what school they are attending. The second goal of the network See Network, page 2 "This will makecourses from all over the west available to students." â€”Mike Lowry Governor ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTEBN FRONT NEWS July 24, 1996 Campus Police July 16, 8:36 a.m.: A personreported a computer from a student's office space missing.

Appeal, from page 1 the AAUP'sWestern chapter stated that two of its members had advised Castaneda about the grievance processand would continue to offer advice and assistance to him. The release stated that the board wouldmonitor the progress of the case to ensure that "faculty are accorded due process when actions aretaken against them," but added that "to take a stand on the merits of the issue is inappropriate at thisstage and might jeopardize the grievance procedures." Other faculty members have also preferred notto comment on the case until it is resolved. Castaneda has taught creative writing in the Englishdepartment since 1989 and was due to return fall quarter. He has written poetry, short stories and books for children and adults and has won numerous awards for his writing. IDENTIFICATION STATEMENTThe Western Front Newspaper Published Bi-Weekly The Western Front Western Washington University College Hall 110 Beilingham, WA 98225-9100 Publication's Title: Statement of Frequency: AuthorizedOrganization's name and address: County residents voice a desire to build a newskateboard/bicycle/roller skate park By Aaron Grey The Western Front The Beilingham Public WorksCommittee held a preliminary hearing Tuesday to discuss the feasibility of building a skateboard,bicycle and rollerskate park. Representatives from the business community, bicyclists and 30-40enthusiastic skateboarders showed up for the hearing. All pleaded their case for a venue where theycould go to practice their talents. All agreed, including the committee, that a joint park was the mostpossible and desirable option. Concerns of building such a park included liability and money issues.These two issues were of great concern to the committee and were the reasons that a park hasn't beenbuilt yet. Kelly O'Neil, a freelance writer who was doing a story on behalf of the skateboarders plight,said, "The liability issue is a smoke screen. Towns all around are going forward on building skateboardparks. If it's free admission to the park, there's no liability." Many skateboarders felt they didn't have apark because the county and most people viewed skateboarders as criminals. Matt French, 23, ofBeilingham, felt there was a lot of prejudice against skateboarders. "Calling skateboarding a crime is anignorant point of view. It's another form of prejudice rearing its ugly head," he said. What French wasreferring to is the crackdown on skateboarding in Whatcom County. In Ferndale an 18-year-old was jailed for skateboarding in an area of town where skateboarding is prohibited. The skateboard facility wouldcost $50,000 to build and would take up one-half to one full acre, said city engineers. Skateboarderswanted a park similar to the one in Bellevue, but any park, indoor or outdoor, or streetcourse appealed tothe frustrated skateboarders. Mike Albright, Beilingham, pleaded his case for a 2-3 acre BMX track."What we need from the county is land, parking, restrooms, a water system, bleachers and possiblylights for this park to meet the needs of BMX racers," he said. Albright stressed that Beilingham should build a quality track, similar to the four available in the south Puget Sound region. Albright felt they hadenough racers in the Beilingham area to warrant such a park. Right now, BMX'ers have to travel almost160 miles to reach the nearest track, Albright said. Albright also said the national BMX association had a $1 million insurance policy, which would take care of any liability problems. In the end, the committeevoted 5-0, recommending the full council should discuss the feasibility of the park.

Clinton sees welfarereform bill as a positive step CAPITOL HILL - President Clinton likes two of the Senate's changes to awelfare reform bill, but wants to see more. One change bars states from raising eligibility requirementsfor Medicaid, even if they increase requirements for welfare. The Senate also ruled out changing the food stamp system into a block grant program. Possible relief for migraine sufferers on horizon CHICAGO -Migraine sufferers may find long-lasting relief from nasal drops according to a report in The Journal of theAmerican Medical Association. The study, headed by a Kaiser- Permanente doctor, states that one-third of patients using nose drops containing a topical anesthetic called Lidocaine have experienced long-lasting relief from migraine symptoms. Some experts are skeptical about the treatment because itseffectiveness fades with repeated use, stating the study will have "zero impact on the treatment ofmigranes." Others feel the use of nose drops warrants further investigation. T.W.A. disaster helpssome to line pockets GREENWICH, Conn. - The state of Connecticut lost big bucks over the weekendwhen thousands of players picked the same lottery numbers.

Microsoft stock price drops SEATTLE - A day after Microsoft reported anotherprofitable quarter, the Redmond Software Company's stock dropped nearly eight points to 112 and one-eighth. This decline may be due to investors' concerns that slower times are ahead.

Brown also said Microsoft will be spendingmore on research and development as it seeks to exploit the Internet. Briefs compiled by Front reporterTodd Blankenship. We care We listen We explain .

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FOUNDATION' ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS July 24, 1996 Fairhaven business banking on hemp By BeckySakala The Western Front Hemp is defined in Webster's International Dictionary as an asiatic herbwidely cultivated. Although cultivated for fiber for some 300 years in what is now the United States andCanada, cannabis was rarely used for psychoactive properties in the United States until the turn of the century, according to the World Health Organization in a technical report dated 1971. Historicalaccounts prove otherwise. In the book titled "The Reign of The Law â€” A Tale of the Kentucky HempFields" by James Lane Allen, hemp was growing "tall and thick." Hemp was said to have been cultivated as early as 1782 for twine, rope, towels, sheets and shirts/ And, says Chris Harral of SportswearInternational, hemp was the world's largest single industry until the mid-1800s and the number one cash-crop in the United States until the 20th century. Company co-founder David Gould of Hemp TextilesInternational of Bellingham, said, "Hemp will eventually provide an important, high-quality andenvironmentally sensitive fiber source for a number of industrial applications in the future." Hemp Textiles International has become an industry leader in the research and technology of processing, spinning and weaving hemp fiber. Vice President of Development and Production Yitzac Goldstein studied atWestern's Fairhaven College. He learned how to live in a sustainable environment, where he originallybecame interested in the concept of organic agriculture. Goldstein learned to live off of theenvironment by cultivating his own crops and herbs. Natural manure was used from both humans andsheep. Goldstein referred to his surroundings as a low-input environment. These green-safe ideas werewhat originally caught his interest in using an environmentally-safe plant to produce products such asclothing, accessories and upholstery. Hemp Textiles first began its research in 1992 and becameincorporated in February 1994. The first year and a half was spent selling any quantity of woven fabric."We would sell one yard to thousands of yards. Although we never opened up a retail location we didhave a very, very low minimum, level," said Goldstein. "These days we have flat pricing and a 500-yard minimum order." Although they will sell a few yards to any company to get started, there is still a500-yard minimum order for regular customers. The fabric is shipped directly from Chinese mills towherever the customer may be located. "It was interesting to shift from being a supplier of any quantityand taking what orders we may get to having higher minimums and attracting more of a professionalclientele, people that are in business and have historic experience producing clothing, shoes, bagsand interior design items," Goldstein said.

We saw that our interest in hemp had to do with a s u s t a i n a b l e business,an ecological business, added value and part of the manufacturing process should be close tohome. It would also give us more control over the quality and new developments with the fiber,"Goldstein said. "Eventually we knew that there would be a domestic supply of hemp fibers, that hemp would be grown here, but you can't bank on something that's illegal at the m o m e n t , " Goldsteinsaid. photo copyright by Hemp Textiles International They have A hempgt; farm worker stands in front oflarge hemp plants in China. studied intense- textiles," Gould said. Goldstein believes that in order ly inthe last year and a half to Goldstein agrees with Gould's for hemp to be legalized, politi-goal forrecognition. He felt the recent press release from July 25 was an important stepping-stone for thebusiness. "It was really a good move for us," Goldstein said. Although most non-marijuana supportersmay not be avid supporters of hemp production, Goldstein believes that what they are doing in themarketplace will be effective and it is common for people to mistake it for marijuana. Hemp is acompletely different seed stock from another type of cannibus plant which is used for recreational andmedicinal use. Neither the leaves, fibers or flowers have drug value, which is a common misconception."It's like using the analogy of a mushroom. Some mushrooms are edible and commonly used â€” youfind them in any store â€” and others are poisonous or used in psychedelics. There's no confusion.You don't cross the boundary," Goldstein said. Hemp fiber is naturally resistant to mold andbacteria and can be grown in many climates. It does not need "pesticides, herbicides or otheragricultural chemicals to grow. Hemp can be used for two different types of applications. The first is knitting. This is something that has a stretchable fabric such as a T-shirt or socks. The second fabric is a woven fabric, which is what jeans or a jacket is made out of. prepare themselves for the eventuallegalization of hemp in several labortories and large textile mills the tech of spinning hemp by usingimported fibers. Although HTFs corporate headquarters are located here in Bellingham, they only deal in wholesale orders and do not grow, produce or ship orders from here. The first American-made yarn hasalso been produced in the last six months. They are also the first U.S. manufacturers of hemp-blendedyarns such as hemp-cotton, hemp and wool, hemp-polyester, organic, recycled hemp and polyesteryarns. The brand names for these fibers are HempCot, HempWol and Hemp Repoly. The hemp plant,which originates from the cannibus sativa plant, is a true hemp fiber called Cantiva. This fiber qualitymeets the quality standards and processing specifications of the HTI company. "We've just started to introduce these into the knitting and weaving industries as yarns in the past few months," Goldsteinsaid. They are also in the middle of debuting their yarns in New York City at a yarn fair. The event runsthrough July 25. Kraemer Textiles Inc., HTI's industry partner who has helped to develop and producethe blended yarns, will also be hosting the event. "An important goal of HTI is to promote thedevelopment of American-made hemp yarns and cians must first have reason to believe that the marketwill earn money off the sales of it. The woven fabrics that are debuting at the yarn fair have been wovenhere in Washington by Pendelton Mills. These fabrics can be made into upholstery and accessoriessuch as bags and luggage. The socks made of hemp have anti-bacterial properties and won't wear outas quickly as cotton. The fibers are farmed in China and Poland and then shipped by sea or air tovarious seaports such as Seattle or the San Francisco Bay area, depending on where the customer islocated. Some woven hemp fibers are delivered directly from the hemp textile mill from China and thenshipped out. The biggest client for footwear is Adidas. J. Crew and Patagonia are also companies thatare including hemp in their products. Local retailers are also springing up around the area. The HempEmporium, located on State Street, just opened, Washington Hemp Mercantile, in Mount Vernon, alsosells hemp products. A recent call from Goldstein's partner in New York City revealed that their boothwas one of the most crowded of the yarn fair, and their response was extremely supportive of theirefforts. "We just touched upon a vein of popularity here," Goldstein said. ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 5 ---------- 5 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT ACCENT July 24.1996 Pat Buchanan just gets so excited about theAccent section.

Both exist, but in at leastone man's eyes, the local rock community has the cohesiveness of. Charles and Di's marriage. "Fouryears ago, the whole community was great," said Sean Spain, bass player for Superfly 2000. "Now, local bands don't know each other." On Friday and Saturday, six local bands performed in the Alien RecordsShowcase at The 3-B Tavern. If the packed house and high-energy performances are an indication ofthings to come, the glory days Spain remembers are on their way back. The show was a benefit for a 15-band compact disc, set for release in August by Alien Records, the record company Spain has justfounded. Spain, who books and promotes shows for The Royal Room, sees a wealth of talent anddemand for live music in Bellingham, but recognizes difficulties local bands have had in catching the earof the powers that be in the music industry. "There are a lot of good bands around who know a lot about song-writing, playing and recording," he said. "But they don't know what to do with the business side."The connections Spain has made as a music promoter and as a music writer for Terminal City and TheBellingham Herald put him in the position to put Bellingham back on the map in the music world. "I'm not trying to sell any of these bands," he said. "I've got the connections. I'll try and promote 'em." Spaindidn't deny that a certain degree of self-interest is driving him in the Alien project. "My band's going onthe CD," he said. "I guess I'm being kind of selfish that way." On Saturday night, Spain's band,Superfly 2000, capped the two-day showcase. The band's dark, yet spacy and offbeat music, drivenby two synthesizers, contrasted with Pinwheel's power-pop and Shed's swinging opening set.Leatherboy, 50-Pound Test and Sourmash played Friday. Past attempts to put put a Bellinghamcompilation were unsuccessful, Ben Gibbard of Pinwheel said, but the Alien compilation effort should fare better. "(Spain) has more of an industry-oriented approach," Gibbard said. High on Jolt Cola, Gibbardpogoed as he and the other three members of Pinwheel played the lively middle set Saturday night. "It's a good turnout. We made money last night, so we don't have to worry about that tonight," he said.Gibbard's heightened state of alertness put to rest rumors of his demise â€” rumors perpetuated byAnnan Bohn, vocalist and guitarist for his old band, Shed. "Ben died," Bohn said. "He blew up." AfterBen "died," Shed's original drummer, Jason McGerr, returned after what Bohn said was an illness.Whatever health problems members of Shed and Pinwheel endured in the past didn't matter Saturday. Shed laid a little funk on the crowd with Nick Harmer's jazzy basslines and Bohn's smooth vocalstylings. "It's nice to see the audience is still large despite the lack of beer," Harmer said. "(Theshowcase) will help the scene out incredibly. The scene needs a little unification." Charley McCoy, aguitarist for 50-Pound Test and a bartender at the 3-B, reported that the cooler was broken, explaining the lack of beer on tap. Despite that inconvenience, the tavern didn't go out of business. "It was great,"McCoy said. "The bands were great, too. I had a great time playing, in fact... It's insane fun!" 50-PoundTest followed Leatherboy on Friday night as latecomers occupied whatever space was left on thedance floor. Looking like intensity personified, lead vocalist and guitarist Kyle Logghe pulled, on thebottom of his shirt as he roared into wmm the microphone. The band formerly known as Asswipe shedwhatever images of "Beavis and Butthead" its old name may have conjured up in the minds of locals,and the new lineup â€” Mike Cloud on drums, Tim Franz on bass and McCoy on guitar â€” played a solidset of music. "It's all starting to fall in place. We control it a lot more, rather than just having crazyfun," McCoy said. The "crazy fun" of playing music has been dampened in the past by problems on thebusiness end. "We thought somebody was working with us, then they turned on us," he said. "That justshows how corrupt the business is ... A lot of it has to do with who you know. You don't have to begood to be anybody. "We just like to play. You can't push it on people."

By Becky Sakala The WesternFront Cecelia Smith, a linguistics major at Western, never thought she would become a clown. Thatwas before a friend encouraged and practically begged her to attend a clowning workshop. Reluctantly,after many months of pleading, Smith attended the workshop. Attending that first workshop changedSmith's life and career. She discovered she enjoyed working with balloons, face painting and magic. Soshe attended more workshops and decided she really liked the hobby. After learning all the tricks toface painting, makeup design^ ballooning, magic and paying the right taxes to the government, Smithdecided to quit her job working as a manager of a bookstore and become a full-time clown. She startedher own business, put an advertisement in the Yellow Pages and became Violet P. Lavender, a clownwho wears all purple, including a frilly dress, bloomers, clown shoes and a purple wig. Smith admitsto being very good at her newfound job. She reminisced about the time she learned how to tie balloons.She was the only person in the class who could blow up a balloon and make it into an object withoutpopping it. The first thing she learned how to make was an airplane. The teacher told her he wasteaching people who didn't know what they were doing, and that she shouldn't be taking a beginningclass. Her reply was that she was a beginner; she was just doing what she was told. After moving fromWisconsin after a divorce, Smith moved to Tacoma, where her parents live, and did clowningprofessionally for six years. She did birthday parties, school shows, weddings to keep childrenentertained, high earns as a clown school graduations and business promotions. Smith has alsoperformed her clown tricks and done face painting at events such as Bumbershoot, Taste of Tacomaand Bite of Seattle. Her most recent memory of Bumbershoot was when a boy asked her to paint a roseon his face. The father became enraged and told the boy that he shouldn't have a rose painted on hisface. Smith had experienced this sex-based stereotyping before on the job, so she offered to paintsomething more masculine for the boy. They settled on a skull with crossbars and a rose paintedinside instead. Although the boy didn't receive what he really wanted due to his father's protest, theywere at least able to compromise. "The kid was the important one," Smith said. Smith sees clowningas a way to have fun while still getting paid. "People would pay me to go play with their children," Smith said. The worst things about being a clown, says Smith, are the. weekend schedules, which don'tallow her time for a social life, and the differences between boys and girls. "I swore that when I started I was not going to treat them differently at all," Smith said. Unfortunately for her, the boys always wantballoons, trucks, bow and arrows or animals, while the girls want feminine things such as flowers, hearts or dolls. Smith tried making her magic shows more androgynous, but children still respond in the same stereotypical male-female ways. The boys want balloons made in colors like blue, red or green, whilethe girls want pink, yellow or purple. Smith also likes to create make-believe stories while doing showsfor children. Her most recent story was about drinking too much grape juice. She told a little girl that herown mother told her that if she drank too much grape Violet Lavender Photo courtesy of Cecelia Smithjuice, her hair would turn purple. It was already purple from the wig she wore, but it made it morebelievable when she changed the story a little bit. Smith told the little girl her own eyes might begin toturn purple because of the excessive grape juice drinking. â€¢ Sure enough, Smith began showing up inpublic with purple eyes. She went to see the eye doctor, who gave her a prescription for some purplecontacts. Within the next month, the usual gathering of kids she frequently did birthday parties forasked about her purple eyes every time they saw her. The small little girl she originally told the storyto had eyes the size of plums when she discovered her favorite clown's eyes had turned purple from all of the grape juice. "Violet, you better listen to your mother," the girl said. Smith charges $85 an hour in town and $100 for an hour and a half. She usually charges $1 per one-minute face painting design.After the expenses of supplies, costumes and taxes, Smith estimates she makes $30,000 a yearworking a total of 50 hours a week. This includes costume and make-up preparation, paperwork andphone work, as well as the actual shows and face painting. Smith is taking a summer hiatus frombirthday parties and festivals to attend school, but still performs for a few different businesses tokeep in practice. She also plans to do some shows in the Yakima area after summer session. se playsthe Crocodile; Dan Savage shows rne at Seattle's Crocodile Cafe hen they decided to bill the ow as"MAVIS PIGGOTT, juests."

Surprisingly, the audience was content to wait for the band'snext song. off. Jean Paul Sartre would likely attend a Modest Mouse show and stay through their lastsong. By the time Eric Judy broke a bass string, surely the crowd was ready to rush the stage, butagain they were patient and curious. They stirred very little while borrowed an entire bass guitar ModestMouse combine slow-to-medium tempos with a scrambled guitar sound to produce a surreal, yettangible rock act. Their lyrics are laden with existential angst, but Brock's blaring vocals carry theemotion of each song sufficiently. In short, they appear tortured, and they pull it from fellow performersMavis Piggott. Bass lines in Modest Mouse's songs are minimal, fitting the overall sound quite well.The blending of distorted sounds from a stomp box and the band's ability to stay away from power-chords compliment the screamed choruses common to most of their songs. Modest Mouse's LP, "This is aLong Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About," was released on Seattle's Up Records earlier thisyear. Neither 764-HERO nor headliner Mavis Piggot were nearly as exhilarating as gay sex columnistand talk-radio host Dan Savage. Savage, out of drag, introduced himself to the audience as though his mug hasn't been in both the local and national press lately (Newsweek and The Seattle Times' Pacificmagazine). Savage led the whole club in singing "Happy Birthday" to Emily White, editor of northwestculture magazine, The Stranger. A wave of dismay broke out when it was discovered only Stranger staff members were being handed birthday cake. \ ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS July 24.1996 Baby Giants drop first game, but win last two ofthe series By Adam Edinger The Western Front If you like good, old-fashioned baseball, where thegame doesn't take four hours to watch and the score doesn't resemble that of a football game, then youwould have loved this weekend's three-game battle between the Bellingham Giants and the YakimaBears at Bellingham's Joe Martin Field. In Saturday's game, the Bears jumped out to an early lead byscoring three runs in the second inning. The first was a shot over the right field fence by the Bears' firstbaseman Brian Sankey off Giants' starting pitcher Brandon Leese (2-3). The second and third came offconsecutive errors by catcher Yolvit Torrealba and Leese. The Bears also received a strong pitchingperformance by starter Ted Lilly (1-0), who pitched five innings, striking out six and only giving up one hit. The Bears scored again in the top of the eighth with right-fielder Matt Meyer doubling to left and scoring on a single by shortstop Scott Morrison. "We just didn't have enough offense," said Giants managerOzzie Virgil. "Other than that, it was a pretty good ball game." The Giants finally made it on thescoreboard with back-to-back homers by pinch-hitter Rico Calderon and Torrealba in the bottom of the eighth to pull them within two. The Giants picked up another ^^ha"m 'Gjants' "pfayer takes a big swing. run in the ninth, y * ' * y but that wasn't enough. After striking out the first two batters he faced in theinning, Bears reliever Jeff Kubenka (1-1) gave up a double to third baseman Paul Galloway and anotherdouble to pinch-hitter Tom Tompaum. With the tying run on second, Kubenka struck out Giants pinch-hitter Leviu Miskolczi to end the game. On Sunday, the two teams met again for a double-dip, with both games scheduled for only seven innings. In game one, the Giants needed all seven inning, plus oneextra, to pull out a victory against the Bears. Giants starting pitcher Ryan Jenson (1-1) threw five innings of two-hit ball while striking out four and not allowing a run. The Giants' bats also gave support, with arun in both the second and fourth innings. The Bears, who couldn't get anything done against Jenson,evened the score in the sixth. Giants' reliever Robert Crabtree (1-0) gave up back-to-back long-balls toBrian Sankey and Matt Meyer to tie the score at 2-2. After that, Crabtree settled down and finished thegame with six strikeouts. With the score tied in the bottom of the eighth, Bears reliever CD. Stover.(0-4) walked first baseman Damon Minor and then delivered a ball to left-fielder Mike Glandenning that hewishes he had back. Glandenning parked the Stover pitch over the left field fence to end the game 4- 2. With the weekend series tied at one apiece, the third game lacked some of the bone-chilling drama ofthe first two. The Giants jumped to an early 1-0 lead and never looked back from there. Giants' starterMichael Riley (1-1) had a no-hitter through four and two-thirds innings and left the game after five inningswith seven strikeouts and only giving up one hit. The Giants scored four more insurance runs off 13 hitsto finish with a 5-0 victory. Giants' reliever Mick Pageler (1-0) pitched two innings in relief, giving uponly one hit and striking out five.

Nearly everyone he knows, he met from playing or coaching soccer, "It's a family thing," Quinn said. Playing for Cambridge High School after time in the Kent and Renton leagues, and then onthe state team for two years provided Quinn with the skills he needed to excel at the sport. Quinnbecame the first four-year letter-man at Western, playing from 1982 until 1986. Quinn met his wife,Nancy, through soccer; she caught his eye while defending the goal for Western's women's soccerteam. The Quinns even have their 2-year-old son involved in the sport. Quinn said he already has himkicking around a miniature ball. "We named him Nile after the great Irish striker Nile Quinn," he added.Quinn's newest soccer relationship, at age 31, is with Bellingham's new semi-professional team â€” theOrcas. He is the head coach and on the roster of the amateur league team. The team plays in the United States InterregionalSoccer League, which acts as a farm team for major league soccer. Althoughplayers don't get paid for playing, some gain valuable experience that might lead to playing at a higherlevel. "I try to make it worthwhile for the players," Quinn said. "The guys need to have fun. It's tough on them." Quinn said he gets paid a token salary as head coach. He coaches soccer clinics during thesummer and sells real estate to supplement his income. \ He doesn't feel that coaching is anecessity, but would like to stay with the Orcas "if they want a local coach from now until whenever."Living and coaching in the area for more than 10 years has enabled Quinn to utilize the local talent. Hewas Western's men's team head coach until retiring last season. "I got the players that needed to be on the team," he said. Players from the Bellingham area were chosen to be on the team. Four playerswere on his team last year, but most of the other players competed elsewhere during their collegecareers. "It lets the kids know there's somewhere to go after playing in col lege," Quinn said. Heteaches soccer clinics before the games and said getting young ^MM^ kids involved in the sport is amajor goal for him as the head coach of the Orcas. He has players sign autographs after the games."The players like it just as much as the kids do," Quinn said. "Only they won't admit it." Expectations for the team were low because they didn't take . players from .'.;; a larger p l a y i n g pool. " W eweren' t looking f o r instant results," Quinn said. "We've come out and proven we can win gamesagainst tough teams." ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 9 ---------- Â» July 24. 1996 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 9 NBC: didn't learn anything CommentaryFrom the failed Triple Cast of four years ago to hapless commentary, NBC's coverage of thesecentennial games has proven they haven't learned anything about what it takes to entertain withoutirritating. With that in mind, let's take a look at the 26th Olympic Games. After four full days ofcompetition from my slightly skewed, definitely sarcastic point of view. First of all, who the hellthought it would be a good idea to have John Tesh as a color commentator for the gymnasticscompetition? He may know how to play a piano and gossip about the inconsequential lives of moviestars, but the man knows jack about gymnastics. And the two other people NBC has feeding us useless tidbits from the gymnastics world, Elfi Schlegel and Tim Daggett, may know the sport, but I dpn'tthink I have ever heard a more abnoxious duo. They give even Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorf (thoseincomparable Monday Night Football idiots) a run for their money. Every time Schlegel opens hermouth, I wish I was there in the booth with a big roll of duct tape to wrap around her substantial orifice.Christine Troyke The Western Front And Daggett, a gold-medal winner from the '84 Games, doesnothing but doubt the persevering U.S. men's gymnastics team. He would also be helped with a length of that oh-so-handy duct tape. Fortunately, NBC snagged Barcelona great Summer Sanders and theextraordinary swimmer Rowdy Gaines to give us the play by play from the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. They are doing a good job keeping us up to date. The controversy with Michelle Smith and Janet Evanscould have been handled very differently. (For those of you who missed it: Smith took Evans' spot inthe final round, even though she had entered her qualifing time after the deadline, eliminating Evans from medal competition in the 400-meter freestyle.) As a side note: Janet Evans is a class-act that anyathlete would do well to emulate. Speaking of class-acts: We all had a great time during the openingceremonies watching the Dream Teams progress through the tunnel and down the ramp and around thetrack and on and on and on ... Sure, everyone wants to see if Mr. Diplomacy, Charles Barkley will jumpthe railing to elbow some Angolan out of the way, but come on, there are 9,988 other athletes. Okay â€” which morons in the International Olympic Committee actually believed Billy Payne, the guy whoorganized Atlanta's bid for the 1996 Games, when he said the average temperature in Atlanta in July was 75 degrees? No one apparently considered he must have meant at 2 a.m. Track-side the average dailytemp has been well into the 100s. It's been so hot they finally conceded to moving the marathon races to late morning, rather than their traditional afternoon starts. Hey, folks, there's a reason they call it"Hotlanta." Finally, I'm betting Athens could have come up with a transportation system that wouldn'tforce Olympic athletes to hijack a bus to get around. So right now, you're thinking: Does she likeanything about the 1996 Olympics? Yeah â€” I like watching the men's swim teams. After four days ofOlympic competition, here's where we stand: The United States has made a real splash in theswimming competitions: Both women's and men's teams have claimed gold in the relay races. GymnastKerri Strug may have sacrificed her chances at an individual medal. She competed on a sprained ankle in order to help the U.S. team earn the gold medal in the all-around. ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 10 ---------- Lessons abound in burgeoning price-fixing scandal Accountants and actuaries paying $.14.99 for JohnTesh's live at Red Rocks recording? Frat guys paying $15.99 for Hootie and sorority girls paying thesame for the soundtrack to.Aladin? The entire population of Federal Way paying $12.98 for a MetallicaCD that's exactly the same as their last one and the one before that? Expatriate Austrians paying $13.98for David Hasselhoff's latest release, "Knight Lover?" Something's rotten in 14 states, and it smells likean artificial price-fixing scam. But there's nothing artificial about the dollars the music-loving public hasshelled out over the years. A lawsuit in Tennessee aimed at six of the world's largest CD makers couldend up costing the companies tens of millions of bucks, according to a report in The Seattle Times.The article stated that in 1983, CDs cost manufacturers $3 apiece to make, and that expense is nowdown to $1 due to refinements in technology. Although Washington is not among the 14 American states in which consumers stand to take economic revenge, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of anyone whobought CDs after June 26, 1992. Last year U.S. Representative Charles Schumer, D-NY, stood beforeour esteemed congress and complained, or perhaps boasted, that he could eat an entire box of cerealin one sitting. Schumer said what was on the hearts and minds and stomachs of the American public atthe time: Cereal costs too much compared to the manufacturing costs and the amount of productreceived. Think back, probably not long ago for most music buyers, to a time of perusing the shelves of aquaint CD-vending establishment. It's that lingering pain of pondering in anguish why there have to beso many great bands with so many different albums. And yet you've worked very few hours at such anunsubstantial wage, your power bill is still unpaid, that maxed-out parking fine won't wait for the next payperiod, and the CD prices staring you in the face are drastically disproportionate with the rest of your life. Post cereals felt the heat and got out of the kitchen, lowering its prices. Now it's time for CD companiesto do the same. Beyond that, another point about this story is striking: the law firm is representing justtwo CD buyers. A couple of brave souls with some initiative have taken corporate behemoths EMI, Sony,Warner, Polygram and MCA, among others, to task. In 1982, an action against some of the samecompanies over records and tapes (archaic formats that music used to be recorded on) won $26 million.Let this be a lesson to us all. Never underestimate the power of courage and a righteous spirit, and neverforget that the modern United States is the most litigious country in the history of time and space, and 43of Bellingham's Yellow Pages are taken by attorneys desperately looking for something to do.

Disbelief won't prevent violence Imagine you are walking homefrom a friend's house late one Friday night. Except for the occasional cat hunting for a late-nightsnack, the alley is deserted. But wait. You hear what seem to be footsteps coming up from behind. Youglance over your shoulder and see a dark shape moving briskly toward you. The pace seems to bequickening. Faster, faster, your heart keeps time with the stranger's footsteps. Should you panic? Run? No, this is Bellingham, and everyone knows that the bad things racing through your paranoid minddon't happen here. Or, at least, that's a common misconception about this friendly little college town.We are ever so casual in Bellingham, comfortable with our surroundings, trusting our neighbors. Weleave doors unlocked, belongings unattended on the front porch and take walks late at night, neversuspecting that our comfort could be violated. Students from larger cities such as Seattle and Tacoma never consider Bellingham as dangerous, considering the environments they grew up in. The violent-crime rate here is relatively low compared to that of larger cities. Everyone knows that, so we becomecareless, cozy, naive even. Perhaps some of this false comfort is what caused a young woman to walkalone to the Sehome Haggen for groceries after 11 p.m. on June 19. Her sense of security, combinedwith Suzanne Asprea The Western Front Bill MacDonald Parkway's sparsely lit stretch and nearlynon-existent bus service at that hour, may have contributed to the terrible crime that took place. Awoman was raped. She was pulled into the bushes, knocked unconscious and raped. And still peoplereact .to the news with shock and disbelief, exclaiming, "In Bellingham?!" Yes, in Bellingham. Why is itso difficult of a concept to grasp that these things happen even in cities where people are generallywilling to greet complete strangers on the street? Of course, we all learned about using the buddysystem in grade school, and this lesson is still drilled into us today. We are advised to never, under anycircumstances, walk or ride a bike alone in dark or secluded areas. This precautionary measuremakes sense â€” to a point. Are we to put our lives on hold until we can find buddies who have the timeand energy to walk us to and from the grocery store? Some things just can't wait for safety. We don'tknow why that woman went to the grocery store alone, so late at night. Those things cease to beimportant after the event has taken place. She might have a lifetime of what-if's to run through her mind,but we can take our own questions and turn them toward prevention and awareness. Some actions cost the city money, such as increased bus service at later hours. The Nightline service is helpful, but farfrom convenient. A person can sometimes reach his or her destination on foot before a WTA bus rollsby at quarter-to and quarter-after the hour. People still have places to go, and patience has never beenone of humankind's greater virtues. Perhaps if there had been steady, or at least more frequent, busservice, the woman would have taken her groceries on the bus and arrived home safely. Of course, we can never know if these things will actually make a difference until they are done. The probability ofattacks like the one on June 19 rely heavily on chance â€” being in the wrong place at the wrong time.Until someone makes a move to improve safety conditions, people need to focus on awareness. Weneed to realize that Bellingham is not exempt from the crimes that happen in larger cities. Theincredulous question, "In Bellingham?!" should be abandoned as the natural response to word ofviolent crimes. Rather than sitting there, jaw slackened in disbelief, think about what you can do toprevent these attacks. Then move your jaw in that motion that is helpful for speech and talk about theevent. Talking is always a good first step in getting anything accomplished. ---------- Western Front - 1996 July 24 - Page 11 ---------- July 24.1996 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 People, not Castro regime, hurt by U.S. policyU.S. foreign policy 'hypocritical' in punishing Cuba while coddling other oppressive governments GeneMetrick The Western Front It is way past time to end the bitter vendetta that is euphemisticallyreferred to as United States Cuban policy. President Clinton made the correct decision in suspending a _ â€¢ â€¢ Â« â€¢ provision of the Helms-Burton Act that would have allowed American citizens to file lawsuits against companies that operate or profit from property that was seized by the Castrogovernment after the 1959 revolution. But he should never have signed this bill into law. The bill, whichwas sponsored by Sen. Jesse "the mouth of madness" Helms (R-N.C.) and Rep. Dan "don't confuseme with facts" Burton, was written with the help of attorneys from the National Association of Sugar MillOwners of Cuba and the Bacardi Rum company, according to an investigative report by the BaltimoreSun. Both of these organizations would profit handsomely from the bill. So would Cuban-Americans who are naturalized U.S. citizens, who would now be permitted to make claims against confiscatedproperties. The administration and the American business community in general had opposed thisdracon-ian measure until two airplanes flown by a Cuban exile group were shot down off the coast ofCuba in February. T h e president changed his position in reaction to media sensationalismabout the event, and political pressure exerted by Cuban-American exile groups, who wield enormouspolitical influence in the president's must-win states of Florida and New Jersey. Helms-Burton buildsupon the 34-year-old economic . embargo against Cuba. It is part of an obsessive attempt to dislodgeFidel Castro from power and bring "democracy" to Cuba. Its goal might be better described asreplacing Castro with a government that is friendlier to, if not controlled by, American business. In otherwords, a government a lot like the one Castro overthrew in 1959. And in case anyone may haveforgotten, the Cold War is over. But the United States refuses to quit fighting this last battle that wasonce part of the struggle against the Soviet Union. Trade with Vietnam has been reestablished; notbecause they have held free elections, but because there is a lot of money to be made there byAmerican companies. The government has shifted its basis for the embargo from anti-communistparanoia to the hypocritical precept of advancing democracy and human rights. But human rightsviolations in countries like China and Indonesia, which are major trading partners with our country, are much greater than in Cuba. And the United States is expanding trade with these countries on therationale that engagement will help to bring about political "... despite America's best efforts, FidelCastro remains a popular figure in Cuba." reforms. Why is the opposite supposed to be true in Cuba? The truth that the government doesn't want the public to know is that human rights violations in Cubapale in comparison to other Latin American countries. And unlike in Guatemala, El Salvador orNicaragua, there have been no CIA-sponsored death squads roaming the Cuban countryside murderingand torturing people. The Cuban embargo was even expanded in 1992 to include food and medicalsupplies, in contrast to the embargo against Iraq, a country with which we actually fought a real shooting war. The real victims of this embargo are the Cuban people, not the Castro government. Foodshortages are now a fact of life in a country that could once boast of an almost complete absence ofmalnutrition. The free health care system that was once the envy of other third world and even someindustrialized nations is now running out of basic medications. These conditions are the main causesbehind the increase in defections from Cuba over the last few years. But despite America's best efforts,Fidel Castro remains a popular figure in Cuba. In a news conference held to denounce the president'sdecision, Rep. Burton said that Helms-Burton was necessary "to prevent the commercial utilization of stolen American property." I wonder how he would feel if British royal family decided to sue us forproperty stolen from them during the American Revolution? How would Sen. Helms react to a NativeAmerican class-action lawsuit seeking a cut of the profits made from property stolen from them? TheCuban embargo is an illegal and immoral intrusion into the internal affairs of that country. And eventhough this kind of intrusion has been the historic cornerstone of all U.S. policy toward Latin America,it is time we set about changing it.

Mayor Mark Asmundson has drafted a resolution to be proposed to the City Council. The resolution stated the swastika painting was a heinous and reprehensible act against a valuedsegment of Bellingham's religious community and is a direct attack on the city's most binding value'sof decency, tolerance, neighbor-liness and respect. The resolution also said the city of Bellinghamencourages all citizens to take part in the "Join Hands Against Hate" campaign led by the WhatcomCounty Human Rights Task Force. Asmundson urges all community members to condemn anddenounce acts of hate. The resolution also says perpetrators and all potential perpetrators of such crimes will face maximum possible penalties when apprehended and convicted. The swastika was reported toBellingham Police Oct. 18. See Hate crime, page 4 Group hears forgotten voices By Katherine Schiffner The Western Front Homeless youth presented a documentary, told personal stories of life on thestreet and answered questions from the audience at 7 p.m. Monday in the Wilson Library Presentation Room. Members of the Seattle-based group Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets (PSKS)screened the documentary "Forgotten Voices," the story of the beginning of the group and theprogression of the members from "street rats" to stable homes. The documentary found its way toWestern with the help of Jesse Saloman, a core member of PSKS, and a junior at Fairhaven College.The group, ages 13 to 20, plus an adult who is a "kid at heart," originated from a 1995 summer-schoolprogram at the Orion Multi-Service Center, coordinated by Elaine Simons, a teacher at Meany MagnetMiddle School. Simons said after she learned the youth in her group would not receive academic creditfor the summer program, she consulted the group and it brainstormed ideas on how to communicatethe challenges of homelessness to the community. All the core members of the group share equalpower with Simons. Of the five remaining core members only one still lives on the street, Simons said.The group believed they had qualified for a $1,000 grant and wanted to plan a concert. Simons said the group found out days before the concert they had not qualified for the grant, but because of thecommunity funds raised the group, the grant money was not necessary. "There was a lot of resistance at first," Simons said. However, "by the time we had the concert we had the whole city behind us," shesaid. Since the first concert, the group has put on two other benefit concerts and spoken at severalschools and conferences. Another major project of the group was the production of their 45-minutedocumentary. The film was written, directed and produced by PSKS. Funding for the film came fromthe Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, the Youth Anti-Violence Fund, King County CommunityOrganization Program and Children's Alliance. A total of $2,000 was donated. The documentary detailsthe lives of some of Seattle's homeless youth and how they ended up on the streets and pulledthemselves off. Z-Love Tutwiler, who asked he be identified by his street name, lived for two and a halfyears on the street. Now he has a job and tries to help other street kids. "If they want help, I am there to help them," Tutwiler said. The documentary also presents footage of the first concert organized byPSKS, and the presentation of a proclamation declaring Nov. 9 Peace for the Streets by Kids from theStreets Day. The group is currently working on See Homeless, page 6 PSKS's view of 'Becca BilP andduring that timey the kids are detained by the police, ---------- Western Front - 1996 November 26 - Page 2 ---------- Campus Police Nov. 21, 8:12 p.m.: A student left some of his stuff in the hallway of Carver Gym by theracquetball courts while he was playing rac-quetball.

On Nov. 15, President Karen Morse adopted abicycle policy making it law under the Washington Administrative Code. The means by which thepolicy addresses bicycle/pedestrian issues will be addressed by the yet-to-be-assembled task force.The task force will be co-chaired by either Associated Students President Leslie Keller or Vice President for Student Life and board member J.P. Elliott, along with George Pierce, vice president for businessand financial affairs. The members will include Parking Director Carl Root; Director of EnvironmentalHealth and Safety Gayle Shipley; Chief of University Police, Doug Gill; Greg Quhn, studentrepresentative to the Health and Safety Committee and liaison between the Student Bicycle AdvisoryCoalition and the committee and Erika French, student bicycle coalition coordinator. The six-month trialperiod will begin Jan. 1 and, depending on how bicyclists conduct themselves in the dismount zonesduring the dismount times, the policy will take its definitive form. "Right now what is being consideredis 15 minutes before the hour and 15 minutes after the hour in the campus core (for restriction)," Rootsaid. "We will look at the issue of enforcement and whether we can take a less restrictive policy andhow it works," he said. "The biggest reason to implement the policy is the liability issue," explainsKeller. "Complaints required us to implement the bike policy." The university received variouscomplaints filed under Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act, which is administered through the Department of Labor Industries. These complaints caused Pierce to move forward on the Thefts gotJlhe administration is a win-win situation. The administration is willing to work with students. Presimmtissue, Wendy Bohlke, assistant attorney general for Western, said. The policy states, it is prohibitedfor bicycles to be ridden in areas designated as permanent and/or temporary dismount zones from 8a.m. to 5 p.m. during regular class day or at other times when so posted, or as designated by theVice President of Business and Financial Affairs, or a designee." "The idea of putting the (last part) in is to make it clear that the vice president (Pierce) can change the parameters of the policy," Bohlke said. "My understanding is that the president (Morse) approved an 8-5 restriction and between those hours,the task force can work with it," French said. She and Quhn think students will be able to generatea workable policy. "I think it (bike policy) will be what the AS Board decides," Quhn said. "Studentsneed to get concerns to the AS Board. Leslie Keller is on the task force, and she will make sure thoseconcerns are recognized." "The AS got the administration to sit down and work out a policy toeveryone's best interest. It is a win-win situation. The administration is willing to work with students,"Keller said. Responsibility can be seen as the crux of the issue. "I would like to see people ride safelyon campus. How we accomplish this is not as important as that goal," Shipley said. "I'd like to seestudents given the responsibility to enforce and educate each other. If students don't take responsibilityit is then-own fault," Keller said. Shipley applauded the SBAC for their work and wisdom on the BicycleResponsibility Code. "Whatever the ultimate outcome of the dismount zones and times, the (code) isa broader concept than simply making a rule," she said. "We have been given another chance todetermine what we want to do," French said. "We are going to have to try to work together to see if wecan make the effort to enforce the 10-minute rule."

Ml New flu cases found in Western WashingtonSEATTLE â€” Three new flu cases have been identified by state epidemiologists in Western Washingtonin recent weeks. According to a report received by the American Lung Association of Washington fromthe State Department of Health, one of the influenzas has been found to be type A. This strain was found in an 18-year-old male with onset of illness Oct. 31. It is the same A/Wuhan subtype found earlier thisfall in a 21-year-old student at the University of Washington. The A/Wuhan strain has been targeted byU.S. health officials as one of the three strains most likely to strike this flu season. This year's flu shotscontain protection against the A/Wuhan and the other two strains, the A/Texas and the B/Beijing. It isnot too late to get a flu shot. Incidence of influenza in October is unusual for Washington state, althoughit has sporadically occurred in past years, according to state epidemiology surveys. Most flu activitybegins in December and peaks in February.

AP Wire compiled by Nancy Frazier ---------- Western Front - 1996 November 26 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT ppppnspm $miwm$Â§^ November 26. 1996 Education key to halt militiaadvance By Joanne Fry The Western Front Approximately 30 students and community membersattended a workshop titled, "What to do When the Militia Comes to Town," Friday. Ken Toole, director of the Montana Human Rights Task Force, led the workshop, which focused on pragmatic approachesto fighting militias at the local level. The workshop was the final event in a three-part series sponsored by Western's Social Issues Office. Using pamphlets, overheads and videos, Toole described the TaskForce's increasing concern over militias and hate crimes in Montana. "Setting aside the whitesupremacy issue, taking up arms to resolve government distrust should be of concern," Toole said.Task force members refer to the militia phenomenon as a "social movement" because members of suchgroups are anti-government â€” especially against the federal government. Law enforcement officialsdid not really pick up on the idea of militia involvements afflk until fairly recently. "When Oklahoma blewup, everybody started to understand because of the media coverage," Toole said. Although most peopleassociate intimidation, racism and hate crime involvements with militias, the issue of whitesupremacy is just one aspect of the militia ideology. "What it boils down to is that violence is anacceptable means of political change," Toole said. Allowing these individuals to continue tocommit these disturbing acts of violence disrupts our communities in every aspect, he said. "Aboutone-third of our resources are devoted to reading the garbage these groups put out. These guys areprolific in their writings," Toole said. Much of the concern about hate groups and militias comes as aresult of these organizations reaching into the mainstream. Toole says their literature is onmagazines, books, newsletters and even the Internet. To defend our communities from such harmfulimplications, Toole says, "You have to think about who your allies are." Toole suggests Abqj0oneg0iirdof our resources ^eiÂ§lfygt;d to reading the groups put out. Director, MotiWff Right^ksk^rce turning tochurches, labor unions, the educational community and peace groups. Gay and lesbian groups, aswell as Women's organizations, are among the most motivated. "Don't try and recruit their leadersfor your cause," Toole said. "What you want from the leaders is someone else in their group who isinterested." Toole said the leaders already have other involvements, and your cause is one of many forthem. You are more likely to find someone other than a group leader to help your cause. Toole alsowarns of some pitfalls in organizing an effort to fight against militias. "Don't think there is going to besome persuasions," Toole said, referring to the possibility that militia members may change their views. We should have a positive message to help to educate community members about the dangerouseffects these people have on our communities, especially our children. "Look at the legislature and themedia to educate people and use them," Toole said. Examples of past successful education attemptswould be the "Not in Our Town" campaigns and the "Joining Hands Against Hate" window signs that were organized by the Whatcom Human Rights Task Force. Toole insists community members assert theirown free speech rights just as the militia members do, only community members have to be moreinvolved as a whole. Western senior and ASP Social Issues Office member Tara Hervel agreed. "Thepopulation of these events is discouraging. We would like to see more students involved," she said.The workshop was also co-sponsored by Western's Shalom Center, Peace Resource Center, CatholicStudent Coalition and the Associated Students of Whatcom Community College. Hate crime, from page1 The Whatcom Human Rights Task Force is in touch with the police. No new information on theincident was available as of Nov. 25, said Shirley Osterhaus ofWHRTF. The family did not wish to benamed. The police would like anyone who knows anything about the incident to come forward,Osterhaus said. A silent candlelight vigil on the steps of Bellingham City Hall was intended to send themessage of solidarity. Vigil participants stood somberly on the city steps. "If people would have joinedtogether 50 years ago, maybe the Holocaust would not have happened," said Shawn Bryan. FredFragner, a Holocaust survivor, said the swastika was not a shock to him. "I am not surprised. There is too much hate, too much hate in this country right now," Fragner said. People can do somethingabout hate, Fragner said. "Raise the children to respect each other no matter what their differences... we don't have to love each other. We just have to respect each other, respect the differences,"Fragner said. "We're here in order to.demon-strate to the community that there are still people aroundwho believe in respecting others," Marvin Miller said. Dawn Prince-Hughes, a graduate student fromSwitzerland, aj0%otj0rprised. Tliere is too ^k^h^Â§^m.. too much hate in ^||lllMl||p^^/zt now. ijjjl! ||Â§jjprHolocdiiSsurvmor heard about the swastika incident in The Bellingham Herald and decided to attend thevigil. "I think it's incredibly important not to isolate causes, for anyone to come out to support aprotest against things like that happening," she said. Prince-Hughes recalled a poem about theHolocaust but couldn't remember the title. "First they came for the Jews, and I didn't say anything,"she said, trying to remember the author. The poem's message is that everyone is in danger when onegroup is the target of hate, Prince- Hughes said. Everyone is victimized by hate crimes, Prince-Hughes said. "Whether it's calling somebody a name, or painting a swastika, or not allowing people toget married â€” we're all in this together," Prince-Hughes said. Osterhaus said the movie "Not in OurTown," available in the Shalom Center, provides a model of how communities should answer hatecrimes. The movie is based on an incident in Billings, Mont. A Jewish boy's window, where he kepthis menorah (the 8- pronged candle used during Hanukkah), was smashed with a cinder block. Thecommunity joined together by placing paper menorahs in all of their windows. No similar incidents haveoccurred there, Osterhaus said.

"We love to see people who are not activists come and join the fight," Salomon said. Saloman said his activism helped him after his rehabilitation from adrug problem. Saloman was not homeless but "spent a lot of time on the street." "I love my parents, and things are really better since I went to rehab," he said. Saloman suggested students who want to helpshould educate themselves on how to help others. Simons added some of the best ways to help are to"just listen" and, if people are uncomfortable giving the homeless spare change, then "pick them up andfeed them." Also, she said "helping just to help" is a better idea than trying to assist the homeless forpersonal reasons. The documentary reminds viewers the homeless youth "don't want to be forgotten"and "are part of this community." The sound of Saloman's voice echoes across a black screen at theend of the film: "We need to increase the love in the world, unconditional love." Front/Dennis PascoGravity, a member of Peace for the Streets by Kids From the Streets, introduces the group Monday night. Stories from the street: three youths share their lives Alexa Baehr "This group has completely changedmy life," Alexa Baehr said. After she was booked into juvenile hall three times, and spent six to sevenmonths on the street, Baehr became involved with Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets. Baehr said the group has made many changes in her life. She has recently returned to school after two and ahalf years and is now considering being a doctor. Baehr was kicked out by her mother for being "kind of a wiJd child." Baehr said, while kids are on the street, "basically living is a whole challenge." "Thechallenges are everyday life â€” living," she said. "A lot of kids out there are really depressed." Womenon the street can face different problems, Baehr said. When she was homeless at age 14 "all the guyswatched out for me. They were really cool. They made sure nothing happened to me." She adds, "A lot of times that doesn't happen. A lot of girls couch surf. They just stay at guys' houses â€” sleep with theguy just to stay there." She is now living in a group home, which she says she does not like. When shehelped develop PSKS, Baehr said she "mellowed out a lot." "When my mom's yelling at me, I don't yell back any more," she said. "The challenges I faced when I was on the street was finding friends, findingfood and getting new clothes," said Gravity, who requested his street name be used. When he heardwhere homeless kids were hanging out, such as Westlake Center in Seattle, Gravity Gravity foundwhere he could find shelter and food. A typical day on the street starts at 7:45 a.m., when homelesspeople are kicked out of the shelters and afterward are "harassed by cops and everybody else." Afterbecoming a member of Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets, Gravity became involved with hisfamily again and moved in with his parents. After his parents separated, he lived with his father until hewas kicked out. He now lives with his mother. Gravity is the outreach person for PSKS. Too many lawsare made from a "top-down" perspective, Gravity said. He cites the "Becca Bill" and school truancylaws as examples of the legal consequences homeless youth have to face. Gravity has attended KentMeridian High School for the past eight months and proudly said he has maintained a 3.5 GPA andworks at Planet Hollywood. Gravity suggested mental and physical abuse can cause a young person toleave home. "Homelessness is like a never-ending battle," Gravity said. Harley "When you're on thestreets, you can't sleep," said Harley, who asked to be identified only by his street name. A typicalweek for Harley, who spent three and a half months on the street after being kicked out of home, wouldinclude eating every other day and finding a safe spot to get some sleep every three or four days. "Safety is always the most difficult thing (to find)," Harley said. Harley said he was into gangs, drugs andviolence while he was at home, but he was "cool" while he was homeless. Harley said Peace for theStreet by Kids from the Streets provides a positive example for kids still on the street. "Everybody knowsus," Harley said. "We show them we're not on the streets. They see us and say a month ago you weredirty, you were hungry â€”just like me." Now Harley is attending South Side Community College in adiesel marine engineering program and he said he will be able to get a job in the $65,000 range after thetwo-year program. "We can't get jobs on the street," Harley said, explaining kids have to be 16 yearsold and have nice clothes and an address in order to get employment, something no homeless kid hasaccess to. "The system sets us up to fail," he said. However, he adds, "It's not that people don't care â€” they're ignorant about the problem."

WailingGeorgia-Pacific siren 'keeps people on their toes' By Katherine Schiffner The Western Front "Oh myGod! What's happening?" Stephanie Bateman thought when she heard the noise for the first time. "I was scared," Bateman said. "I thought it had something to do with a tidal wave or an earthquake." The loudwailing, which can be heard across Bellingham every Friday at 11 a.m., is not to alert that death isimminent, just a Georgia-Pacific siren drill. However loud the siren might be, the only purpose is to getthe attention of G-P employees and not to alert the entire community. The siren warns workers who are outside to come into a building for an announcement over the company public address system, G-PPublic Relations Director Orman Darby said. "If we had any kind of chlorine leak or fire or injury, thenyou will hear the siren, it gets the employee's attention," Darby said. When one of these eventshappens, such as a turned ankle, the siren goes off. The siren indicates the emergency response teamis on the way and employees should listen for any further information. "We had a guy fall off a ladder last week," Darby said. A lot of hazards are on the freeway and rail lines, Darby said. It is necessary to letworkers know of potential problems as soon as possible. Besides the Friday drill, other unannounceddrills occur "to keep people on their toes," with emergency response teams practicing dealing withproblems they may confront. The siren was installed about six years ago, Darby said. G-P previouslyused the alarm as a public address system. Businesses were initially concerned, but now G-P onlyreceives about one call per month. It was necessary to clarify to Bellingham residents the siren was used only for on-site purposes. "Only one in 1,000 times will it be any interest to the community," Darbysaid. In the event a serious problem arises at, G-P, the Whatcom County Division of EmergencyManagement will be contacted to handle the effects off of the Georgia- Pacific site. G-P maintainsconstant contact with this division. Theories from Western students who heard the siren varied. SeniorEric Sarte thought the siren would warn residents if a chlorine leak occurred. "I'm glad that it works,because if it goes off I'm going to stay in my house, preferably on the third floor with some sort of gasmask," he said. "Plus, in the event there actually is an air raid, it's nice to know somebody ^ ^ ^ j f ^ has a siren," Sarte said. Front/Dennis Pasco ees of possible disaster every Friday at 11 a.m. Senior BryanOvens agreed with the chlorine theory. "I've lived in Bellingham my whole life, especially on the Southside," Ovens said. "I've heard (the siren) periodically my entire life. "I think it's terrifying," he said. Darbyconceded the siren is noisy. "It's unfortunate everyone on the waterfront needs to hear it," he said. Junior Alesha Muljat agreed. "I used to wake up to it every (Friday) morning at 11 when I lived on Forest Street. I think it's really annoying." The volume of the siren needs to be loud, Darby said, to reach all G-Pemployees. Before the Friday drill, an announcement is made telling workers the siren is only a test.Afterward, "This is only a drill" can be heard resonating throughout Bellingham.

This summer, Alexander Balitsky of the history and political science departmentstraveled back to Russia and saw a lot of changes. "The rich became richer, and the poor becamepoorer," Balitsky said. In July, August and September of 1996, Balitsky, his wife and daughter visitedtheir homeland. They spent the summer traveling between Moscow and St. Petersburg. "In the lastfour, five years, people have at last realized there is no way back to the stores with cheap bread, cheapfood," he said. While in Russia, Balitsky visited with university students in his hometown of Khabarovsk. He observed students are just beginning to realize they are more than just students. They realize school is the first step in developing their own careers, he observed. He also found the most popular subjectsstudied by these Russian students are business, law, foreign language and computer science. FromRed Square to Red Square ... Russian professor visits home i Besides visiting with university students,Balitsky witnessed the second round of national elections between President Yeltsin and Zyuganov, acommunist candidate. Balitsky said while the people do not like Yeltsin, they dislike but also fearZyuganov. Voters had to choose between two candidates they do not like. Balitsky also went to thepolling station to listen to the voters. He overheard them say, "If this is the choice, we have to chooseYeltsin." An Internet article, "1996 Moscow Notes," written by Eric Fenster, observed the people's stateof mind during this same election. "Those voting Yeltsin were voting against a return to the previousCommunist regime or against instability. Those voting Zyuganov were voting against Yeltsin and what the reforms had done to their personal life and to their concept of their country." "This is the greatchange in their lives," Balitsky said. The older generations remember the last 20 years when inflation did not exist and prices remained steady. But, Balitsky said, they forgot the long lines of people waiting fornecessities and the "deficit of goods like a car." With no real markets existing for buying cars, peopleoften had to wait up to 10 years for a car that might not have been what they had originally ordered.Another example of the forgotten past is the waiting list for apartments. A person could wait for yearsbefore getting an apartment, even having three generations of one family pass before receiving one. Now, apartments are available, but they are expensive. Balitsky called this availability an incentive; anincentive to work toward buying and owning an apartment. He said working and waiting is not easy, but"they make a choice" to reach their goal of having their own home. "Now they are struggling for theirlife, not waiting for someone to give it to them," he said. He personally witnessed this struggle for lifewhile in the former Soviet Union. "I haven't seen so many beggars in any other cities," he said. Fensteralso documented the sharp distinction among the citizens of Russia during a visit to Moscow in May and June of this year. During one outing, Fenster and a Russian friend came upon an old ladybegging. "'Look,' said my friend, 'I can choose to give to her or not to give to her. That is my freedom.And she can choose to beg or not to beg. That is hers. It's their problem to take the initiative to act ontheir own behalf,'" Fenster wrote. Balitsky attributes this distribution of wealth as a sign of change â€” a"sharp contrast between what it was five years ago," and now. Those who are doing well, Balitskysaid, spend thousands of dollars in casinos, and they pay as much as $10 for a Big Mac. Balitsky noted Moscow is now more European, more Westernized. The positive aspect of this change, Balitsky said, is it "shows we are not stagnating." On the negative side, the "Western subculture has come intoMoscow." This "subculture" is exemplified by the number of advertisements along the roadside sellingproducts, such as Mercedes Benz automobiles. "Majority of people are irritated with this. They don'tneed the signs," he said. "I wish Westernization and modernization will not ruin the feeling of Moscow asa Russian city." He wishes the same for St. Petersburg. Balitsky experienced the Western world first-hand when he visited Western in 1990, for one month as a guest of the university. Western has played a"big role" in opening the eyes of Russians and Americans to the ^ political and social changes that facehis homeland. As a result, the Bellingham community has become more and more well-known inRussia. Balitsky believes it is good to "build bridges across the Pacific Ocean." He returned toBellingham as a research fel-low in 1994. "I decided to come back to the university and the people Ihad met," he said. For the past three years, Balitsky has taught Russian history, politics, ethnicconflicts in the former Soviet Union and cross- i cultural aspects. One such class focuses on the livesand histories of Russians through both Russian and American films. "I talk to students, and they openmy eyes to American films. It's very interesting â€” a street with two-way movement," Balitsky said.He feels students should get an inside perspective of a foreign country. Having been raised in the formerSoviet Union, Balitsky offers experiences and knowledge more authentic than television or books. i Heteaches with a creative "inside analysis" that only comes from life experiences. "It's a combination ofbookish knowledge and first-hand experience. I envy my students. I didn't have a slight chance to have a foreign professor," Balitsky said. A Balitsky is presently a visiting professor. He plans to stay as longas Western has an interest in his Russian courses. "I will share my expertise as long as the universitywould like me to share it," he said. "It's great to see these changes in your 4 lifetime." i STUDENTBAGPIPER BELTS GAELIC TUNES IN CELTIC KILT By Kristen Rockwell The Western Front His music conjures up images of Scotland with misty moors, rocky highlands and men in short skirts with thickGaelic brogues, but his name conjures up images of someone who is Italian. Mark Tomasetti, a historyeducation major at Western, is a bagpiper. His bagpiping career began 11 years ago when he was a wee lad of 9. Desiring to follow his older brother, who was a bagpiper at the time, Tomasetti learned toplay. "Everyone wants to be like their older brother, so I wanted to play, too," Tomasetti said.Tomasetti's mother is half Scottish and from the clan McGregor. His sister started the family's interest in their ancestry by Highland dancing. The two siblings joined their mutual interests and performedtogether at her wedding. "At the reception, she danced while I played," he said. "A lot of people requestthe bagpipes for weddings now. Maybe 'Braveheart' contributed to that. I'm not sure," Tomasetti said.Weddings are not the only functions at which Tomasetti performs. He is available for funerals andother engagements, and also plays in the Willamette Valley Pipe Band, which he helped create. "I'mthe pipe sergeant for that, like the second-in-charge or second- in-command," he said. The band,consisting of .15 to 20 bagpipers and drummers, competes from California to British Columbia. The band has been together for seven years and performs in parades and festivals in addition to competitions.Tomasetti also participates in individual contests. Individuals compete in five different grades, startingat grade four, the lowest level, and moving up to grades three, two, one and professional. He is currentlyat grade one. But success as a bagpiper doesn't come easily. The bagpipes take a lot of physicalactivity, and one must continually play to keep the fingers limber. Tomasetti practices at least everyother day for an hour to "keep going." "Your fingers can always get faster, cleaner. You can make up your - own music. There's always room for i m p r o v e m e n t , " Tomasetti said. Without continuous practice, lips lose their strength, and they must be built up again to withstand the pressure. "It's hardto blow, but eventually your lips get stronger and your lung capacity gets bigger," Front/Gunther Frank Mark Tomasetti makes some beautiful music on his Highland Bagpipes. Tomasetti explained. And asthe lung capacity gets bigger, so does the sound. The practice rooms in the Performing Arts Centerwork well for Tomasetti, until someone decides they've had enough of the bag- ---------- Western Front - 1996 November 26 - Page 9 ---------- pipes. "I've been kicked out of the practice.rooms for being so loud," he said. The bagpipe is a difficultinstrument to pick up. A novice player doesn't start out on the bagpipes. Instead, he or she begins withthe smaller, simpler practice chanter. The beginner is on the practice chanter for six months to a year,then he or she graduates to the bagpipes. "It's very time consuming, and it can get expensive buyingbagpipes and all that," Tomasetti said. Bagpipes can cost anywhere from $500 - $2,000. Tomasettilisted the different selections, including the Highland Bagpipes, which he plays, the Irish Pipes, theScottish Small Pipes and the Uiellen Pipes. The difference between the Highland Bagpipes and the Irish Pipes is that the Highland has three drones whereas the Irish Pipes has two. Drones are the pipes that go over the shoulder and provide the continuous drone sound. All bagpipes include reeds made fromplastic or cane which affect the loudness, and they all include the bag. The bag is made out of elk hideor sheep skin. Tomasetti owned a bagpipe with a bag made out of Gortex, but he doesn't recommendit because certain parts of his bag were not reinforced, and the shape was awkward. Historically, thebagpipe is one Iqj^f peovjlk- request the hag-is for weddings now. Maybe .contributed to ipe P of theoldest instruments in existence. According to an Internet article on Scottish culture, the country oforigin is unknown. But what is known is that it was one of Nero's favorite instruments. And because they enjoyed outside activities, the Scots enjoyed the loud sound of the bagpipe. The Scots also wore skirts called tartans or kilts. Tomasetti has one. "I wear it when I compete or in the band or for anengagement like weddings, funerals or engagements or whatever," he said. Rumors abound aboutwhat is worn underneath. He said that some of the real traditional people don't wear anything, but it"depends on the person and the climate." Sometimes, though, just playing the bagpipes and wearingkilts is not enough. Tomasetti began teaching pipes six years ago. Teaching students to play got himinterested in education. "It's great to see a student come in not knowing anything about bagpipes andmusic and going off shortly and winning prizes. When they're in competition, I'm probably morenervous than they are," Tomasetti said. Back in his hometown of Vancouver, Wash., Tomasettiadvertises his bagpipe classes for $10 an hour. He will be advertising in this area sometime soon.Teaching and competing for money prizes may seem lucrative, but most bagpipers have a second job."Most of us do it not for the ---------- Western Front - 1996 November 26 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ THE; WESTERN FRONT i i m November 26. 1996 Football sacks Lutes' season By MattFinlinson The Western Front After three hours and 15 minutes of grueling, heart-stopping action,Western faced a simple situation. Either the Vikings stop Pacific Lutheran University's two-pointconversion attempt, or go home and prepare for next season. Cornerback Michael Johnson andlinebacker Jeremy Hader chose the first option, drilling PLU quarterback Dak Jordan one yard shy ofthe end zone to clinch Western's 21-20 overtime win Saturday on the icy gridiron of Civic Field. The goal-line stand sent Western players, coaches and fans pouring onto the field in exultation. The finish wasthe most emotional moment of the 1996 season. "For me, being a senior, that play on the goal linecould have ended my career," Johnson said. "So I had to step up and make the play." "I've never climbed Mount Everest, but I imagine that is what reaching the top feels like," nose tackle Mark Bone said. Itwas not the first time the Vikings snatched victory from the Lutes Saturday. The Lutes seemed poised toend Western's playoff run with two seconds to play in regulation, but PLU kicker Chris Maciejewskishanked the potential game-winning 24-yard field goal. "We shot ourselves in the foot too many times,"said PLU running back Peter Finsteun. "We tried hard, and I was happy with our effort ... but I thought we were going to win." The Vikings struggled all day to overcome turnovers and a stingy PLU defense.Quarterback Darren Erath was intercepted four times and drives repeatedly stalled in the shadow of theend zone. The Vikings shook off these setbacks and a 14-3 half-time deficit to eventually tie the score at14 heading into overtime. The Vikings wasted no time scoring the go-ahead touchdown as Erath dove infrom two yards out to put the Vikings in front 21-14. "We decided to go for the sneak, and fortunatelyit worked out for us," Erath said. Because of the new Kansas tiebreaker format, the Lutes got the ball atthe 25-yard line for their crack at the end zone. The Vikings seemed destined for victory until the Lutessilenced the crowd with a 12-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal to-star receiver Karl Lerum that pulledthe Lutes to 21-20. Because PLU's kicking game was in shambles, they decided to go for the two-pointconversion, and the win. PLU Head Coach Frosty Westering's decision set the stage for the goal-lineshowdown, and the celebratory on-field mayhem that followed. "We could have tossed the game atany point," Head Coach Rob Smith said. "The 48 players in blue jerseys really showed what they'remade of." Even without the final stand, the Western defense dominated play in the bitter cold.Linebackers Tim Hanson and Mark Spencer terrorized PLU's ball carriers. Spencer ended the day withnine tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery. Hanson, who received Defensive Player of the Gamehonors, recorded an astounding 14 tackles and an interception. Cornerback Paul Delaney also sparkled, making 10 unassisted tackles. "They're a great defensive team. They're big, they're physical and I wasimpressed with their defense," Finsteun said. "In a hard fought game like this, the defense had to stepup," Johnson said. "To play the way we did under those conditions was great. This game would havemade John Madden proud." Western's offense received huge contributions from unsung players.Running FrontAbm Degan Junior tight end Erik Morin comes down with Western's first touchdown, a 12-yard reception with 20 seconds left in the third quarter. back Scott Noteboom rumbled through the snowfor 82 yards on 24 carries. Wide receiver Mario Casello contributed 61 yards on 5 receptions. ChrisNieholl, double- teamed all afternoon, managed to snare four Erath darts for 63 yards. Tight end ErikMorin hauled in a team-high six balls for 57 yards. Morin's 12-yard touchdown with 20 secondsremaining in the third quarter started the Vikings rally. Smith could barely contain his excitement. "For this team to still be playing in December with all the injuries is a real accomplishment," Smith said. "It'sa tribute to the determination of this football team. Those people who missed this game missedsomething special." The victory puts the Vikings in the quarterfinals.

West TheWestern Front The Vikings' glimmer of hope for a wild-card berth to the national tournament was dashed at the NAIA Pacific Northwest Regional Women's Volleyball Tournament Saturday. The NAIA nationaltournament is Dec. 4-7 in San Diego. "The wild card is usually used for one of the top 10 teams thatdoesn't get an automatic berth," Head Coach Michael DiMarco said. Unfortunately for Western, thenational tournament selections are not solely based on win-loss records or national ranking. Despite theVikings regular-season victory over No. 4 Lewis and Clark State College and 24-6 record, No. 12 Hawaii-Pacific University (16-11) was tapped for a wild-card berth. In a regular-season tournament, Hawaii-Pacific was forced to a fifth and deciding game over unranked Central Washington University for avictory, DiMarco said. The No. 19 Vikings were 3-0 against Central this season, never losing a game tothe Wildcats. Western finished fourth in the regional tournament after a weekend of sweeping victoriesand disappointing losses, bringing their record to 24-6 overall. But, also, leaving them just shy of a berth in nationals. The Vikings came out strong in round one of the tourney, defeating host WillametteUniversity in straight sets, 15-2, 15-10, 15-7. The Bearcats of Salem, Ore., ranked No. 25 in the NAIA,had not been swept prior to Friday's encounter with Western. Senior outside hitter Jana Freeman ledthe attack with 17 kills, 16 digs and four service aces. Freeman was later named to the all-tournamentteam. Senior Chrissy Sursely also showed power, adding 12 kills and 12 digs, while outside hitter Adele Rom got scrappy with 14 digs and seven kills. Junior Adrienne Sloboden set the Vikings up with 34assists and added 10 digs of her own. "It was a great win, just for the fact of beating the host team anda great way to start the tournament," said DiMarco. "We have won our biggest matches this season when we started off strong, and that's what we did." The Vikings advanced to the semifinals for ameeting with No. 1 seed and No. 4-ranked LC State Friday evening. Later, the tables turned andWestern became the sweepees rather than the sweepers, losing the match 11-15,5-15, 16-18. AlthoughLC State, winner of three of four meetings with Western this season, dominated much of the play, theVikings remained competitive. They battled back in the first and third games and tied it up in both,showing their unwillingness to give up. Freeman led the pack again with 23 kills and 26 digs. Surselycontributed 11 kills and 25 digs, and sophomore middle blocker Tanya Price had nine blocks.

The victory advanced them to the final round to face NorthwestNazarene College Idaho and a chance at third place, which would ensure a national playoff berth; theteam's first since 1990 and only the second in4iistory. Northwest Nazarene, 30-8 and ranked No. 9 inthe final NAIA poll, had other plans. Western put up a tough fight, but ended up falling to the Crusadersin five games, 9-15, 15-7, 15-9, 11-15, 7-15. Sursely had 24 kills and a school-record tying 33 digs.Setter Sloboden was busy with 72 assists. "It was a really hard-fought match," DiMarco said."Northwest Nazarene is a great team, and they definitely played us better than the first time we met thisseason." Western defeated Northwest Nazarene earlier in the year at the Western Oregon State College Invitational Tournament. Also slighted by the NCAA pollsters was St. Mary's University of Texas. No. 8 St. Mary's (32-2) was rated No. 2 until the final week of the national poll, DiMarco said. With six seniors on the roster, the Vikings will lose half of its team to graduation in 1997. "The team understood and took their share of respbnsiblity." DiMarco said. "This was kind of our year to establish ourselves." NCAAbowls over playoffs NCAA football is one of the most popular modern-day forms of entertainment for ourculture. With millions of consumer dollars flowing into these programs, it is no wonder why manypeople are concerned with the current bowl game selection process and how a national champion iscrowned. The money-generating bowl games, such as the Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, and CottonBowls, to name a few, have agreements with certain leagues. For instance, the Pac-10 champ and theBig-10 winner play in the Rose Bowl regardless of the record in comparison to other teams around thecountry. It is unfair because, consider a scenario whereby a team from a different division posts abetter record than the division champ. The division champ is guaranteed a spot in the sought-after bowlgame, and the team that has a better record is pushed into a low-budget bowl game. By the sametoken, two undefeated teams can win separate bowl games, which creates a very ambiguous decision for the Associated Press to make as to who should have the higher ranking. For example, in 1991 the University of Washington and the University of Miami both went undefeated and were crowned co-champions. No justice is served to the fans with co-champions. Some discussion of constructing anew system has recently been conjured up. Bowl games would still be played, but the selection ofteams to those games would be changed. It's simple, teams would play one another based on the finalregular season Associated Press ranking. This system seems to be more logical because teams wouldplay one another based on their performances and not on what leagues they came from. Anothersystem, which would include a playoff for the top-ranked teams, is also being considered. A newsystem would not only enforce equality concerning actual competition, but it would also cut some ofthe unnecessary business- style contracts leagues have with the bowl-game sponsors. Schools make millions of dollars from just one bowl game. The performance of the team would take the place of thefast-talking university public-relations agent who tries to get the university into leagues that have goodbowl contracts. Hopefully, we will see some sort of change in the near future. The issues have beenraised, and the unfairness of the current system is clear-cut. for 3 months Expires December 31,1996 Take Another Look 733-8630 T 1256 North State St GUARANTEED REPAIRS Trottner's Auto Service Mobile Roadside Service or In Shop Repairs Serving Whatcom County since 1979 10% WWU StudentDiscount 2005 Kentucky St. (360) 733-3280 Hobby Hive owners explore their passions and add a newdirection.

In the Oct. 31 issue of The BellinghamHerald, the parent of the player who urinated on the face of his fellow teammate faulted the schooldistrict for failing to monitor the locker rooms. The article went on to say the district is looking atmonitoring locker rooms and teaching kids more about appropriate behavior. The mother's eagerness todisplace her son's blame and force it on the shoulders of school officials is a prime example of themost degrading attitude in our society. The attitude of "it's somebody else's fault" hinders our progressas Generation X. We are called apathetic and irresponsible. The reasoning behind those accusations isthat too many people are unwilling to own up to their actions. Perhaps the most important lesson for ayoung person to learn is to hold him or herself accountable for their responsibilities. It must be verydifficult to do this when your own mother claims it is someone else's fault that you urinated on yourteammate. It is ludicrous for the school district to invest any time or energy to monitoring lockerrooms. The players are old enough to vote, fight for their nation, defend their teams' honor on the fieldand graduate as contributing adults to society. They are most certainly old enough to monitor their ownand each other's behavior in the locker room. Which brings me to another point. Where was everyoneelse? This is not to put the blame on anyone other than those who committed the atrocious act, but one wonders what went through the minds of those who observed the incident in silence. These footballplayers can defend themselves and their team on the field, why do the rules change in the x lockerroom? Dante said, "the depths of hell are reserved for those who in times of crisis chose to remainneutral." Of course, that attitude would seem a bit harsh to someone who believed that her son urinatingon the face of his teammate was "not mean-spirited at all." The mother added that "it's typical 'AnimalHouse' antics in the locker room. It's ongoing. I think you'll find it's going on in locker rooms across triecountry." Perhaps some parents should be educated about appropriate behavior as well as the students who took part in this incident. To say that urinating on the face of any human being, much less a teammember, is not mean-spirited makes me question the sanity of such a claim. In fact, it would beextremely rare to find such behavior going on in locker rooms across the country because it is sick, andnormal people who function well in society just don't do sick things like that. If someone urinated on theface of a rival player, the act would be called malicious, and the player would be banned from degradinghis school further. Is it different that he did it to his own teammate? Yes, it makes it even worse.V^merteb-baP dunks on No. 1 l l a l ^ ^ |i|Funip^ |parm|bnj|}^ ; | i T l i e | |^ j t a r j ^ - | | | Â£^ ||/if|ijri{(^;lead^^ M T h e ^ ^ :|iye||3;|lM minu^ .â€¢;;; :;fomÂ£lpjre^^ j v S j e r i i p^ turnover :;i:||''Sh^^ yjPjiin^^point imlesl^ : :^e;secpn^ ; | ! ?

It has become one of the greatdevices in American advertising, changing a religious event into a great sales gimmick (also, lookunder "Christmas"). I'm not particularly upset about this matter, mind you. The days off from school aregreat. The shopping craze keeps the socially impaired off the streets by packing them into the malls;the amusement remains from seeing a 50-foot Spiderman hovering through town and we all have alegitimate excuse to practice gluttony in front of our loved ones. What is upsetting is the slaughtering of turkeys. If the Creator had made them a little more of a handsome creature, rather than an awkward-looking fowl, I'm certain the turkey population wouldn't be messed around with as much. TheAmerican culture tends to avoid the consumption of cuter-looking animals â€” thus explaining whyFido is waiting at the foot of the table for scraps, instead of being a scrap on the table. A perfect panelfor Gary Larson's "Far Side" cartoon series would be a picture of turkeys sitting about a table,proportionally gigantic to the little human on their dinner platter, with a caption below reading:"Turkeys who escaped the wrath of the Thanksgiving dinner celebrate their fortunate lives by feastingon Farmer Ernie's little cousin." It would be even greater if we could recognize the holiday as a time toappreciate the company and presence of our family and friends. In this age of the deconstructed family,we often forget how much our family needs one another, and how we forgivingly forget their love andconcern. For many families, the Thanksgiving dinner may be the first dinner in a long time that everyone is in attendance for. If may the first dinner in a long time that everyone actually sits â€” together â€” atthe dinner table. Heck, you may even see someone in the family you didn't know existed. True, weshouldn't specialize a day of the year just for taking the time to have an actual conversation with yourmom or dad that doesn't have to do with how you've been eating or why you're not hitched yet, or givingthem a big hug and catching up with what they've been doing. It should happen all the time. But thesedays, a day can mean so much. Truck on home, have dinner with your family and have a happyThanksgiving. Pregnant women beware: FDA might legalize harmful drug Pregnant mothers should beaware of thalidomide, a drug proposed to the Federal Drug Administration to cure morning sickness.The drawback? Birth defect risks. Imagine, after graduating from college, landing a great job with asuccessful career, deciding to get married and having children within a couple of years. This soundslogical, right? Bearing children is a painful trying to endure. Once women become pregnant, they tend to have morning sickness that includes stomach pains, vomiting and frequent urination. Usually nopainkiller can stop these problems. In Germany, 1959, a pregnant woman took 10 thalidomide pills asa form of tranquilizer for morning sickness. She gave birth to a baby girl who had a deformed leg. Atthe age of 3, the child had her leg amputated because of thalidomide's effect. Today, the child is amiddle-aged woman with health problems because of the drug. Although the drug was never sold in theUnited States, thalidomide was banned world-wide in 1962 becasue of the deadly side-effects. I can'tbelieve pregnant women would take such a drug just so they could temporarily heal the pains of morning sickness. Don't these women know that they could be affecting the child's birth? It is only commonsense that women who take in drugs (thalidomide and others), alcohol and tobacco are in greater risk of diminishing a healthy baby's life or having it suffer for the rest of its life. Pregnant women have hadmorning sickness through the years. I don't see why they should try something controversial and risk the chance of having a child with birth defects. Thalidomide shouldn't be legalized at all. What good will it do to take the drug? After taking the drug, women will then lose sleep over the possiblities of forsaking the baby. It's extremely risky, worthless and dumb. Other news regarding thalidomide is to administer itto AIDS patients. A PWA Health Group spokesperson claims the drug can heal AIDS patients' ulcersores. Now, is thalidomide good or bad because it doesn't pertain to women with morning sickness?Thalidomide should not be recommended for pregnant women because the results were obvious ofserious birth deformation. However, if the drug seems to then why hasn't it been tested, We must stopspreading racism COMMENTARY Believe or not, racism is still among us. Just when people thoughtthe presence of assuring minorities equal opportunities such as Af-firmative Action weren't needed, arecent racial incident has America rethinking its role to end discrimination. The spark of the Texacotapes, with three senior executives heard uttering racial slurs and discussing a discrimination lawsuitfiled by African-American employees, reinforces America's need to wake up and smell the isms.Discrimination is not limited to ethnic minorities. It crosses a person's path as obviously as acomment or shout. Discrimination may transform itself so well, someone may not even realize it'sthere. As Americans, it's our job to start opening our eyes to what is going on in front of us. Whether avictim of an racism or not, the necessity of individual action is a must. Implementing no-tolerancepolicies to discrimination is a start. That is what Texaco has done. But if not for threats of boycottingand forming protests, would the agreement of reparation payments to 1,400 current and formeremployees and 10 percent pay raises to black employees still have happened? It is a question thatplagues the mind. If outspoken black leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson had not kept the pressure onthe company, this incident would have been hushed to the corners where other "unimportant"discrimination issues exist. Even though this suit had the push of influential leaders, Americansshouldn't ignore the power in their own voices. At a recent retreat I attended, talks of how to stop racismwere raised. I've gone to many workshops on stopping racial attitudes and ending discrimination. Butthis one made the light bulb in my head shine brighter. Rather than talking about actions the wholegroup can take on, the facilitator asked each person what he or she was going to do individually.What she asked the participants, is something we should ask ourselves every day. If we want a better life for future generations, we need to initiate action. If we want to stop discriminatory epithets labeledon people, we need to do something. If we want action, we must react. If we are to be heard, we mustshout. If we want this knowledge spread, we must educate. If we want answers, each individualmust first ask, what am I going to do today to start the end of racism? studied and publicized further inthe media? People have the right to know if thalidomide is going to help AIDS patients survive and if it'san accurate cure for AIDS. If thalidomide is nothing but a hoax, it will just create more problems forAmerican society. We shouldn't risk using thalidomide on pregnant women and AIDS patients becausewe don't know how well it works. Health experts are skeptical as to whether or not to issue the drug tocertain people, who allows doctors to use people as guinea pigs in this experiment? Nobody wants to be the fool for taking a possible chance on the thaliodmide effects. I hope people will realize thesignificance this potent and harmful drug.

Or even who is capable of graduation from this university. Everyminute before walking into Fraser Hall to take the test is filled with stress and anxiety. Journalism andbiology majors alike feel the growing tension that saturates the atmosphere. Am I going to pass? Am Igoing to have to explain to my professor that, because I procrastinated until the very last moment, I amin danger of being denied entrance into the last course in my major? The post-test emotions are just asbad. Now, because I waited, I must endure two weeks of the unknown. Waiting to find out if registration will be hell or a breath of clean, winter air. It is the test itself that causes these, and many other,emotions to roil through our systems. The JWE is in dire need of a massive overhaul. The essayportion is not a measure of a person's ability to write coherently. It is a measure of whether or not they are capable of taking the first sentence from each paragraph and rewording it to the apparent satisfactionof selected Western faculty. The fault does not lie with those who determine what passes and what is,apparently, too long a summary of an irrelevant topic. The faults are contained entirely within the exam.The objective section has more errors in it than a poem by e. e. cummings. And none of those oh-so-obvious mistakes are even choices. The multiple-choice format is insufficient. Examinees should have todetermine the mistakes without having misleading ones presented. Does passing this test somehow turna student into Hemingway? I can tell you right now, I had a roommate that couldn't have passed the JWE if he'd had Hemingway sitting next to him. He was an engineering major that did, in fact, graduate fromthis university. It's an unfair evaluation process that allows a person who says, and I quote, "I seen thistruck ...," to receive a diploma. By the same token, why isn't a basic math test required for release fromWestern? If 60 percent of students fail a portion of any given test, the problem is not with the students.The problem is with the test. And by the time you are a junior, if you haven't already been put onacademic probation, you probably have sufficient English skills to make it in the "real world." -ChristineTroyke, Sports editor The Western Front Editor: Jesse A.

Look at the bigger picture DearEditor, Even though the attack on those you mock, "Eco-Freakos â€” stop fighting and grow up" (Nov.15) follows no sensible reasoning and only makes one arbitrary point, "to grow up, fast," I am still moved enough to respond to the ideas because if that editorial was written seriously, and for those who mayagree with it, such sheer ignorance must not be allowed to grow any longer. I am wondering if I shoulduse this space to correct your "facts," or to give you some therapy so that perhaps you will realize thatwithout the four sacred things â€” earth, water, fire and air, you would have no life. I am tested by suchawareness as yours to feel compassion. But this is not about me. And I am not writing this to condemnyou for your condemning of what you apparently do not understand: the complex, interconnectedecosystem of all living things. lam writing with faith that it will clarify your misconceptions about themany people in America, and all over the earth, â€” environmentalists, pagans, Greens, label us if youmust â€” who recognize that the earth is a part of Creation just like ourselves. Without her health wecannot possibly have health either. Regardless of your belief about how and why earth was created,whether humans are more important than rocks and trees, and if earth is a living being, the fact stillremains unchanged: without earth, nothing can live! So yes, nature must be treated as sacred andholy if for no other reason than to sustain ourselves. Christianity, capitalism, patriarchy andconsumerism have done a thorough job of convincing humans that they are above everything else onearth and that everything is here for our use, that we are the reason earth exists. This philosophy wasand is essential for the growth and success of Christianity, consumerism, etc. Otherwise, peoplewould have continued to live as they had for thousands of years, honoring, praising and respectingthemselves, the land, the Great Creator and all creatures. When people lived and believed in this way,there was a balance between humans and nature. There was no need for foundation for anyone to gainmore power or resources than anyone else. The state of the world today â€” if only we would lookbeyond the facade of American living into the source of our opportunity to live so conveniently andcomfortably â€” is painful proof that the ideas and religion that have reigned for the past 5,000 yearsare exploiting, torturing and killing much of this amazing creation, including humans. Creating changeis absolutely necessary if we want to continue living on this planet. Have you ever read The AmericusJournal, The Utne Reader or Earth Island Journal, to name a few? Have you ever questioned where thefood you eat comes from, how it was grown, or how those people who grew your food were treated sothat you can have banana for 49 cents/pound whenever you want? Step back and see if you can envision the whole picture, then listen to what your heart says to you with this new awareness. I know where you are coming from. I was a narrow-minded Christian for 21 years before I realized that without those youcall "eco-freakos," my grandchildren would most likely not have the chance to live with the blessings we have today. Mary-Belton Scurry Senior ---------- Western Front - 1996 November 26 - Page 15 ---------- November 26. 1996 .___ . ^ THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 Administration needs to enforce rules:campus wide Dear Editor, Every issue of The Western Front has another story on the "Bike Ban" fromcampus debate, as though there could be an angle that was missed. The two sides of the situationseem to be pedestrian safety and rider's commute time from end to end, south to north, at Western AsI'm gathering data, the university's administration believes the bike riders are nuisances and threatenpublic safety. The Associated Students view is that, in light of having classes at either end of thecampus, riding one's bike is a right administration should support. A ballpark guess at how manypeople pedal across campus during the noon crunch â€” put the number at 25 or fewer. I'm notsuggesting that there aren't several hundred riders here at Western, but most of them don't rideduring the banning (time) zone. Anyone who does ride increases the likelihood for the administration enforcing a no-ride (period) rule. So far, we've been blessed without someone being seriously hurt.Minor brushes are frightening for pedestrians. The university's administration is correct to seek asolution to the problem. But the consensus seems to be the old story of WHO will implement therules. Perhaps the way to accomplish this feat is through another channel. Posting "alternative route"signs at the bike racks is one way to start. Some of the riders don't seem to realize bikes can beridden on streets such as those BEHIND Miller Hall and the science buildings. Maybe the AS could do some sign posting. The university administration could send officers through the crowds and tellriders to walk the bikes or ELSE! As it is, at this time we have a stand-off that will probably end with the "no bike" rule. But even this little "law" will undoubtedly be enforced with the same vigor as the no-foodrule in Wilson Library. By the way, the (Coretta Scott) King buffet was excellent. John A. Kirby JuniorEverything's fine the way it is Dear Editor, OK I admit it: I've ridden my bike 10 minutes before classes. I do it rarely, but I also do it slowly and in a predictable manner so as not to hit anyone, because if I hityou, I also get hurt. I do all sorts of things 95 percent of the time to ensure that I don't have to deal withdifficult traffic. Now, I can't speak for all the riders who come on campus, but judging from the fact thatthe only accidents anyone can cite are from off campus, then I am guessing that, for the most part,riders on the campus know how to avoid getting you and themselves hurt. I've only seen one rider who Icould describe as thoughtless. He's some gimp on a red M2 road bike with a Kestrel fork. It's a nicebike, wouldn't it be a shame if something were to happen, to it? Now of course, there is some sort ofpseudo ban in the works. As far as I can see, though, it will just be making it a law to do what we havebeen doing all along. The stupid thing is, the current 10- minute rule (which is smart) isn't even enforced.How are you all going to make a new rule stick without enforcement? How are you to enforce it? Withcops on bikes? This is the biggest pile o' hoopla over any non-problem that I've seen anywhere. Ipersonally don't know anyone who is in favor of the bike ban. The staff of the Health and SafetyCommittee is all for it, of course, but I'm sure they have nice parking spots that are really close to their offices. History has proven we can ride to class with little incidence of complaint. If we just enforcesome SMART rules and post a few signs urging the merits of responsible riding, then I am sure thatthings will be just fine, like they have always been.

Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1918 NO. 41 "I WOULD NOT BE A N Y I E R E ELSE" The Messenger takes pleasure in reprinting the following article from "The Airman," edited by Starr Sutherland an ex-Normalite: Few men know the heart of the American soldier as does Professor William J. Hutchins, noted writer and lecturer. Is addition to his having two sons in the service, he has come into intimate contact with tens of thousands of our men in uniform. In patriotic response to our request for an article from his pen, he has sent the following message, which illuminates the true spirit of "America at War."—Ed. A letter came to me the other day from Camp Hancock. It was written by a college student, who had specialized in music and loved all fair and beautiful things. The letter said: "Of course, I hate all this camp and army business, but I wouldn't be anywhere else." Criticism and kicking are the God-given right of the American soldier. We must kick about the food, and write free verse after the manner of the Wadsworth Gas Attack, "The next time Our mess sergeant Cuts Up a horse For steak, I hope he Won't forget to Take off the harness." We must kick about the hikes. My students tell me they are quite sure the hikes are intended to kill rather than to harden. We must kick about the orders and officers. Rumors grow in the night like Jonah's gourd, only to wither in the sunshine; and Ave feel like burying the man who sowed the seed. We kick if we don't go across, and if we do go, we kick because we are not immediately sent to the frontline trenches. But when all the complaints have been registered and when all the kicks have reached their appropriate objectives, "we wouldn't be anywhere else." I have had the opportunity of visiting nine of the great camps of the southeast, have met typical representatives of one-third of the American Army, and the silent slogan of every man I met was this: "I wouldn't be anywhere else." And I suppose the explanation is this: We have caught at last a vision of the world, and got at last a world-job. Have you ever felt as. if you were in a little valley surrounded by mountains, over which you could not pass, and through which you could not pierce? On July 31st, 1914, there were (Continued on Page Eight) Miss Cassie C. Cales, Messenger's Manager, Who Ends Work at Normal The first Business Manager who has been able to put out the Messenger without calling for financial aid from the Student Board "has been Cassie C. Cales. Her record on the Messenger and on the Klipsun, as Avell, is one of unqualified success, and she is assured of further success in whatever she may undertake. The Bellingham Ad Club recognized her ability and made her the only woman member of the organization. Miss Cales has a record of doing things, and of getting done whatever she begins. The Messenger feels a distinct loss in seeing her leave the school and her work here—a feeling shared by the school as well. Wishes for future success are unnecessary as success will surely be hers. . ALLEN B I GS TO On Wednesday morning we had an interesting and instructive talk by Secretary Allen of the Seattle Y. M. C. A. Mr. Allen met Dr. Mathes, our former President, while in France, and opened his talk by a few remarks about him. The boat upon which Dr. Mathes sailed was torpedoed while en route to France, and this thrilling experience made a good introduction to the experiences which were to follow. Dr. Mathes was assigned to work with the American army forming just behind the British in the Somme section, and there he began helping in the great work of the Y. M. C. A.

This group is going out to carry on the work of winning the war, for that, in effect, is what the teacher's principal duty now is. We are no longer merely teachers, we are part of the vast army of liberty, enlightenment, and democracy. As this group join the army of teachers already in the field, they do so with the consciousness that they are going out to "do their Ibest," The Normal Sc'hool wisfajes them "God speed" and all success.

COUNTRYMAN DRY GOODS 1316 Bay Street Organizations SISTERS' LEAGUE The Sisters' League held its last meeting for the summer, Monday evening. After a little social time in Miss Cummins' room, the final business was transacted, followed by a short program. A poem, written by a Cowlitz county boy, in France,, "It's a great life if you don't weaken," was read by Nina Gildez. A piano solo, ;Ethelbert Nevin's "Good Night," by Agnes Skartvedt, was most appreciated. Josephine Gow sang, "There's a •Service Flag Flying at Our House," accompanied by Alta Gildez. Miss iCummins then read a delightful poem ;on "Doing Your Bit." A vote of thanks was extended to Miss Cum- :mins, and the club adjourned. RURAL SCHOOL SEMINAR • The last meeting of the Seminar .was held on Tuesday, July 30, with Miss Umbarger as chairman. In this meeting the attempt was made to sum up the discussions held in the Seminar and to "tie" the work to the individual districts in which we are to teach during the coming year. The subjects of Americanization, Reconstruction, Club Work, Self Government, Rural School Salaries. Mr. Schusman summed up the work. The essential points of democracy— though of course we did not all agree on every point—are co-operation (and participation of each individual), toleration and service. Americanism we agreed to be essentially the same thing as democracy, with the ideas of toleration anad service more prominent. In the discussion of salaries it was decided that at present there is an unjust distribution of school funds which, of course should be remedied. -Bellingham CONSERVATORY—J. A. Van Pelt, Pres.

Another gold star will be added to the Normal's service flag in memory of Albert Emery, whi died in the aviation service recently. Mr. Emery graduated from the Normal in 1914. U. S. S. Solace, June 9, 1918. My dear Miss Keeler: Perhaps this letter will come as a surprise to you, but I have been threatening to write you for many months though of course you didn't know it. Vincent B. has also (he's my shipmate), but his time is as much taken up as mine is, so you'll have to forgive us. As you know, I am in the service, shipped May 21, 1917 and did duty at Bremerton till January 28, 1918 when we left for Minneapolis where we had four months of intensive instruction at the University of Minnesota. Leaving Minneapolis we were sent direct to this ship, arriving here a week ago this morning. To tell all I've seen would require a vocabulary far above my knowledge and a delivery equal to Dr. Nash's. The government took me, a raw recruit, knowing perhaps that iodine was good for cuts and a little about liow to bandage a sore, gave me instruction in emergency work and later gave me the benefit of instruction from the U. of M., the use of their equipment (which is said to be second to none in the world), and have, in short, done wonders. As the name would suggest, this is a hospital ship, the oldest in the service. I am not at liberty to tell all about it though there are many interesting nooks which perhaps would interest, you. We expect to be out to sea soon, and then suppose my real career as a sailor (I can't call myself a man o' warsman, as we don't carry guns and don't use war colors) will begin. Naturally, I am anxious to begin it—to get the sea-going stride and be able to come back to shore and tell how we were "hitting into a gale" and how she "lay about 41," etc. To hear some of the hoys talk one would suppose they'd used the terms "port" and "starboard," "fore," "aft," "fo'c'- sle," etc., though, they occasionally forget and speak of the "windows" or % You may think you can see well, but the refractive power of your eyes may be faulty and you see much less than you might. C o n s u lt Woll and see. "upstairs." It's a great life. But sea-going terms are never appreciated to their fullest till you hear these southerners use them. They pronounce "port" like "pot" and "Norfolk" like "Nawfok." But every section has its collosuialisms. Perhaps you would be interested in the latest style of ship painting. When I came into Norfolk harbor before putting aboard this ship I saw many of them. They seem to be painted by maniacs, each having his favorite color to put on. But the result is effective. But I must close with best wishes to those I know at Normal. WALTER JOHNSON. U. S. Solace, June 9, 1918. Dear Miss Keeler: Here it's more than a year since I enlisted and I haven't written you in all that time. But often I've thought of you. You were always so kind and gracious when I was in your class and I haven't forgotten, for all my long silence. My year in the service has been interesting and an educational process too. Aside from the experiences of traveling around and meeting so many different people from all sections, I'm getting a knowledge of elementary medicine and first aid that I think I'll always be glad to have. The course at the University of Minnesota was fine. They have everything there to work with at the hospital and clinics too, where we were able to see a variety of cases and at times we assisted in their treatment. While in Minneapolis I visited the big flour mills, and some of the noted places there. Minehaha Falls was one of them. People there treated us royally. I was glad to come but glad to go too because I wanted to "get busy." And now here I am down in Dixie land aboard a ship at last. It isn't exactly the kind of duty I wanted, but I had no choice. Anyway I'll have a chance to get skill and practice here and possibly get something I like better later on. I fancy we will be here for some weeks yet. The ship is being repaired and painted. I find it very pleasant here. Much like Puget Sound. Any number of darkies are working around and they are a most amusing lot. I like to hear them laugh. After we leave here I have no definite idea of where we'll go, but where ever I am I always wish you success and good fortune. Your appreciative pupil and friend, VINCENT BOUCHER.

COSTELLO, Company 322. In Memory of the Late Lieutenant Louis B. Gloman, Company Commander, Company 322, Motor Supply Train 406, from the Officers and Members of Motor Supply Train 406 Somewhere in France. Fred M. Gemmell is one of our "boys in blue" who enlisted last July, with a number of other former Normal boys. During the four months training in the Seattle camp, he entered the radio division. At Christmas, he was sent to Harvard for further training, where he graduated on April 15, third highest in his class, as second class radio electrician, classed as wireless telephone expert and radio spark expert. He took special work for six weeks at New London, Conn. He is now at Hampton Roads, Va., in wireless telephone aviation, hoping soon for orders to go across and get in his blow at the kaiser. The following are a few extracts from his recent letters, which tell more of his work, and may be of interest to Normalites. This one tells of the preparation and trip to Virginia: "We started to move from one office to another, packing the unwieldy bay and hammocks with us. At about two, we got to the beginning of the end. A truck headed for the dock of the 'Old Dominion Line.' Here, after another seemingly interminable delay we three went aboard the good ship Madison bound for Old Point Comfort, Va. At three p. m., to the minute, she moved out down the harbor and we were off for the real 'drink.' As was to be expected, the trip down, the craft filled harbor was inspiring and we all stayed on the top sides until well" out' of sight of' all'and- ships were fewer. First of all to attract our attention were the camouflaged ships of all sizes and nationalities and the endless number of sailers anchored there. Several times I have thought I had seen a small part of our navy but I have had to change my ideas twice in the last thirty ho.urs. I am beginning to think that Jos.ep.hus Daniels had some job. The big bridges that I had seen from above a number of times looked longer and more impressive from below as we passed out. "Next, and of course the best of all, was the Statue of Liberty, as we passed so close. I had seen her before, but never so close as now. Were she human, what an inspiration she would have caught to have seen what has passed that spot the past six months.

Faculty and students will soon leave for that much needed vacation, after the long months of work which have just ended. The Messenger's wish to all is that they may enjoy the month's rest to the fullest extent and return to work in the fall wtih minds and jbodies invigorated and refreshed. This issue is the last one this summer and also the last one under the direction of the present editor. We have enjoyed the work on the paper very much, and have certainly appreciated the willing help given by the staff and by a great many of the students. We have received some praise and some just criticism, which we have welcomed. The effort has been to make the Messenger truly your paper, to put into it the things you wanted. That has been the ideal toward which we have been working, but 'how d o s e we have come to reaching that ideal we do not know. The ideal has not been reached, we know, but it has been the goal which will some time be reached. The Business Manager helped us out of more than one difficulty and has won our sincere praise and thanks. With such loyal and efficient co-workers as we 'have had this summer, the burden has been lightened and it has been possible to turn out a paper which some of you have seen fit to praise. With your help, the new Editor next quarter will probably be able to reach the goal toward which we have worked this summer. Save your pennies for Thrift Stamps; your dollars for Red Cross. Auditorium Notes The Normal School has had some extremely enjoyable and helpful assemblies this session. The speakers have brought to us much of encouragement, and have been of a very high order. The musical programs have been ve;-y well chosen and they have received a very hearty welcome. One of the most enjoyable features of the assemblies has been the singing by the school, led by Mrs. Thatcher. "REVIEW OF REVIEWS" Mrs. Reed, wife of the Principal of Franklin High School in Seattle, and a celebrity in her own right, came to the Normal at the beginning of the session. Her experience and personal contact with family life and the juvenile court added much to the interest of her lectures on Home Service. Dr. Nash gave an interesting review of his Italian tour, at the beginning of Summer School and supplemented his experiences with beautifully colored slides. Mrs. Thatcher presented Mr. and Mrs. Wells at a musical assembly on June 12th. The program was most artistic and enjoyable, with a bit of the unusual in the Chinese Mother Goose Melodies sung by Mrs. Wells. Mr. Hoppe gave his inspirational address on the "Man Who Builded Barns," Friday, June 21st. His personality is no small addition to his work. Dr. McPhail of the Baptist Church talked seriously and forcefully on "The Big Things of Life," the following Monday. Miss Woodard followed him on Tuesday with a valuable talk on the Code of Morals for the public schools. Mrs. Thatcher presented Esther Bergstrom at the musical assembly Wednesday and her offering was quite enjoyable. On Thursday, Mr. Klemme lectured on two of our American objects, Work and Happiness. Mr. Klemme is a general favorite. A visit from Mrs. Preston, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was enjoyed by the students and proved to be quite an event as she gave over part of her time and that of her deputy to individual conferences. The students were urged to buy Thrift Stamps by Mr. Howard Thompson, representing the county War Savings Stamp campaign. The Confei'ence at Seabeck was reported Monday morning by Mr. Wash-ke and Mr. Boom an. Miss Drake explained the cadet system, Tuesday. It was introduced last fall in Everett and seems an excellent experiment. Rev. Thompson of Vancouver, B. C, who represents the Chinese Inland Mission, spoke in assembly July 1st. The War Savings Stamp Campaign MISS MORSE FILES FOR SUPERINTENDENCY (Continued From Page One) ent of Schools of Whatcom County. Miss Morse has been with the Normal since January, 1916, in the Department of Education, and is well qualified for the position she is seeking. She has a Master's degree in Education, and has done graduate work in addition. The many friends of Miss Morse wish her success, and can assure the people of the county that they will make no mistake in electing her to the superintendency. was quite successful and no small amount of merit is due Mr. Coughlin, who boosted the sale in assembly in July. Mrs. Thatcher introduced Mr. Raymond and Miss Barnes in a very enjoyable musical program Fourth of July week. Mr. Bond, the students' favorite, offered many valuable suggestions in his lecture on "Who Will Teach My Boy?" Mr. Parrish, accompanied by Miss Schoenberg, sang a delightful group of songs the following day. A valuable talk was given by Dr. Miller on the "Money Value of Education," July 11th. Dr. Otis, of the College of the City of New York, lectured on the "Philosophy of Prussianism." The lecture was interesting as well as educational. "Idealism," was the subject of Dr. Herre's lecture and proved to be one of the ibest discussions given this summer. Dr. Otis spoke again on "War Poetry," on Tuesday and his talk was indeed delightful. Quite a stirring speaker was Mr. McMorran, a prominent Y. M. C. A. worker. His experience was a valuable asset to his topic, "Army Morale." A local man of interest, Dr. Kirk-patrick, who has spent the past year in Roumania, favored the school Wednesday with an unusual account of his work. Mr. Raine, formerly of Alaska, showed 200 wonderful views of that unique country at a lecture July 20. The Rev. J. M. Canse spoke to the assembly on Monday concerning the A Silent Man MAY Be Wise; A Talker MUST Be Come in and let us talk Kodak, amateur finishing and enlarging to 3rou. We carry the largest and most complete line of Kodaks and Supplies in the city, Films, Film Packs and Paper. Always fresh. Engberg Drug Co. attitude of Italian, Jewish and Russian people to the war. Dean White was enjoyed by the students during her brief stay in Bellingham, as was Mrs. McCreedy of Sunnyside. Mrs. McCreedy spoke on the establishment of furlough-homes. A Seattle teacher, Miss Maxine Kelly, spoke on the creation and support of the Teachers' Retirement Fund. Her explanation was very vital.

In the cool, gray dawn, Monday morning, an august appearing group of girls boarded an Eldridge avenue car, bound for Squalicum Beach for breakfast. Who were they? Former Cheneyites. After a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs and coffe, we arrived at the Normal shortly before assembly. Those present were: Miss Mowbray, Lois Ryman, Mabel Ryman, Bernice Hamilton, Cora Philips, Iva Bixler, Mrs. Estabrook, Gretchen Harms, Beth Stuart, Leona Beach. POWELL HOUSE Dorothy Goodchild left Tuesday to attend the Seabeck missionary conference. Mr. Willard Yarleys was a guest of Florence Segrist and Dorothy Good-child. The Powell house held their farewell party last Friday evening. Songs were sung and war time refreshments were served. Misses Goodchild, Segrist, Lee and Billington were guests of Nellie Dick and Emerine Shannon Sunday evening at a tea. Polly and Billy were surprised by a visit from one of their Franklin High School teachers. EDENS HALL We are all busy packing to get home. It doesn't seem that we have any more than become acquainted and now it is time to go home. All hope that the majority of us will spend another Summer Session at Edens Hall. Last Friday night about twenty of the Hall girls had a "snooze" party down in the parlor. All the furniture was carried out and beds were made on the floor. Mrs. Powell and Miss Gray were located in the center of the encampment and proved to be mighty good scouts. Mrs. Powell served refreshments about midnight amid story-telling and jokes. Miss Gray concluded at about 2 a. rh. that mattresses are softer than floors and departed to an upper story. Some one who was awake sometime in the wee small hours informs us that everybody was snoring. Several of the girls had to borrow clothes in order to dress next morning as some "thoughtful" person had locked the doors to their rooms. Let's have another party like this next winter. All the students of Edens Hall extend to Mrs. Powell their sincerest sympathy in her very recent bereavement. McCOLLOM HOUSE Already trunks have ibeen pulled from their corners and are fast being filled up. Bessie Larsen goes to her home in Tolt. Gladys Petry will go with friends to Hood's Canal before returning to her home in Centralia. Ida Berg will camp at American Lake before going home to Tacoma. She will have as her guest, Ona Woodruff. Cora Philips will spend her vacation with her sister at South Worth Beach, near Vashon. Mrs. Winters goes home to Stan-wood. Beth Stuart will be at the Y. W. C.

Parker gave a picnic dinner at Fairhaven Park Saturday evening in honor of the July Seniors who live with her. Miss Woodard was the guest. The girls enjoyed all the sports that the park provided as well as a very fine dinner. The Seniors have been so cordially entertained by the Parker House family and the "Parker House Rolls" that the end which is drawing nearer every day is not so pleasant an outcome as anticipated. The girls wish to extend a hearty thanks to their hostesses for all the kindness shown them during their stay at the Parker House. May Rice expects to teach the fifth and sixth grades in Vashon, Wash. Bessie Van Eaton will teach in Stevens county next year. She has been hired as intermediate teacher in the Meyers Falls.

ARMSTRONG 1311 Dock Street 'I WOULDN'T BE ANYWHERE ELSE' (Continued from Page One) some hundreds of thousands of us who lived in that kind of a mountain valley. But on August 1st, 1914, Ave were lifted, as upon eagles' wings, to the tops of the mountains, and from that time we have been compelled to see the kingdoms of the world. New Guinea; where on earth is New Guinea? If we had thought of New Guinea at all, we had thought of it as a rather large island, on which a rather small number of missionaries were eaten up by a rather large number of cannibals. Suddenly New Guinea appeared upon the first pages of the metropolitan papers. The Dardanelles; where are the Dardanelles? Who are the Dardanelles? You remember the English woman who said that her son was fighting in the "Darned Canals." But one day we saw again in the front pages of our dailies pictures of the British ships shelling and being shelled by Turkish forts on the Dardanelles. Where is Mesopotamia? If I remember rightly, it is in the Book of Genesis; but one day we learned that English Tommies were fighting around, if not in, the traditional Garden of Eden. When the war came to America, the horizons of our thought were again widened immeasureably. And as we caught a vision of the world, we got for the first time in our lives a world-job. We saw Belgium ravished, Servia wiped off the map, Russia treated as a carcass is treated by a vulture. We saw a race exterminated in Armenia. We saw Russian territory deliberately turned over to the Unspeakable Turk. We saw England and France and their European allies struggling for something more than a "lame" peace, a "tired" peace, even for the peace of justice. And we were caught up out of our narrow provincialism, out of our nearsighted little jobs, and swore heart allegiance to the Great Cause. We have never talked very much about it; but the words of Hugh Black keep coming back to us: "The best thing a man can do with his life is to give it to the biggest Cause he comes across.. You have heard of the woman wbo said in liei loving way: "I hear our soldiers ; t the front are making sorties. I had wondered whether we AVO-men couldn't get together and make up a bundle of sorties and send them over to the poor fellows in the trenches." Well, in one Avay or another, Ave have all got into the great game. And while we still cuss and kick and complain, Ave don't mean half Ave say. When boys come home, we shall talk much of our fights with the flies and the fleas and the cooties and the rats and incidentally the Boches; but at the same time Ave shall be saying to ourselves, "I Avouldn't have been anywhere else." e FLOWERS OF QUALITY AT THE FLORAL EXCHANGE 102 West Holly Phone 288 loedel Donovan Lumber Mills ROUGH AND DRESSED LUMBER.

ALLEN BRINGS MESSAGE TO NORMAL —Dr. Katherine Gloman, Osteopathic Physician, Exchange Building. Patronize Messenger advertisers. b i 111 (Continued From Page One) Before the Avar, as Mr. Allen pointed out, men did not ask if there Avould be any Avar, but they asked Avhen it Avould be. NOAV Ave should begin asking what there Avill be after the Avar. There are two reasons for considering this problem noAV. The first is that military men are not diplomats, and the second, that democracy Avill dictate the terms of peace. We Avill be asked to write the terms of peace and the success or failure of the peace treaty Avill depend upon how Ave think. Mr. Allen told us that Avar is, at best, "not a nice game." The infection in the wounds, the nauseating and destructive gasses, shell shock, the conditions which make it safer not to take prisoners—all help to make Avar the brutalizing, degrading thing that it is. This Avas is not a •cause but the effect of selfishness, greed, a cowardly and truckling church, overemphasis of nationality, professionalism of politics and warfare, and the doctrine of distorted news. We were asked to remember, if we remembered nothing else, that "this Avar and the negotiations Avhich follow may be so conducted as not only to defeat its idealism but to make more Avars and worse Avars inevitable." We must not only Avhip the Germans but retain our sense of justice. Our position in Europe after the war Avill be that of the most poAverful nation in the Avorld and will be one of utmost delicacy. We must retain our sense of proportion, Ave must be calm in spirit, our hearts must be AVithout hate—otherwise we Avill fail in our great task after the war. Mr. Allen had no good words to say for the men who criticise AVithout an intelligent grasp of the immensity of the problems of modern Avarfare, who are greedy lt;or selfish, or who have more money after the war than before. For these last tAvo classes of men there Avill be no room in the Avorld after the Avar, for it will be a new world, a Avorld of democracy. Although Ave ere told by Mr. Allen that he didn't care much Avhether we liked his talk or not, it must surely have been evident to him that Ave did. He had to say "good night" a second time before Ave let him go. And after that he had to tell us about the America nnegro trooper Avho Avas surprised to find a French colonel Who couldn't understand "his OAvn language."

XXXIV—NO. 26 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, April 17, 1936 Taylor, Acklen Cop Election For Board of Control Reps; Johnson and Johnsen Retire; May Dance Coming Girls Must Sign Informal List By Monday Night Maypole decorations and maybasket programs will give the spring Women's League informal the aspect of a May-dance, according to general chairman Mae Rolle. It will be held May 2 in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel. "The girls have always complained that the men lacked initiative in extending invitations," Mae said. As this informal precedes the All-school dance this time instead of returning dates the girls have first choice. She warned all those who plan to attend to sign the tentative list on the bulletin board by Thursday at 4:00 p. m. Chairmen of the various committees are: Virgie Boal, publicity; Gwen Grant, programs; Virginia Hall, invitations; Max-ine Moldrem, decorations; Janet Johnson, refreshments. Symposium Marks Student's Assembly Student Speakers Air Opinions; Absent Faculty Scored "The symposium discussion held during last Friday's assembly was not the idea of any one group, but an expression of the views of the majority of the students," says Mon Orloff, president of the Associated Students. "Although the number of speakers chosen to appear on the rostrum was necessarily limited, they were chosen as being representative of the different lines of thought on the campus, which up to now has found expression only among small groups." The speakers, Gordon Millikan, Ed Tomco, Bob Hartley, and Elmer Lindquis, spoke on topics related to campus and scholastic activities from the students' angle. "We believe that these topics should be discussed openly by both faculty members and students, and we hope to have more of these symposium discussions," Orloff stated. "I'm only sorry that faculty attendance at assemblies is not compulsory." Blue Triangle Plans Election and Pienic Appointment of a nominating committee for the Blue Triangle election to be held April 29 was the purpose of a special meeting in the Blue Triangle club house Monday. Members of the committee are Faye Wenzell, Anne Decker, Helen Klumb, and Florence Lund, president. A report of the social service committee was given by Margaret Win-terhalter. The report stated that 147 Easter cards were sent to people at the county home and the Cedars, tuberculosis sanitarium. The date for the Blue Triangle annual picnic to be held on Sunset hill was set for June 3. After making detailed plans for the play to be given April 22, the meeting was adjourned. Meredith's Novels Now- Offered to Sophisticates "The Amazing Marriage", "Harry Richman", and "Evan Harrington" are the George Meredith novels recently added to the library shelves. These novels should furnish an interesting appeal to the sophisticated students of the Normal school, according to Dr. A. C. Hicks, English instructor. "Meredith is a master of the art of sophistication and brings out a type of worldliness quite different from that of other authors," says Dr. Hicks. Acklen, Late Nominee, Leads Field In Number of Votes Cast In Election One-half Students Vote Tomco Comes Close in Race for Man or Woman Post Because of a last minute discus-sion of the election committee, this election will be considered a primary with the finals to include Taylor, Tomco, Acklen, and Padden, for the two posts. Bill Taylor and Helen Acklen were chosen four quarter representatives to the Board of Control in the election held ysterday. They will take office immediately in the places of Cliff Johnson and Arne Johnsen. Approximately one-half the students turned out to the polls. Acklen Surprises In spite of the fact that Miss Acklen was nominated by petition the last possible day, she received the largest number of votes cast for any candidate. Miss Acklen resides in Portland, Oregon, and is now in her sixth quarter of school. She has been prominent on social affairs and is at present the chairman of the Sophomore party. Anna Padden, the WAA candidate followed in second place, with Virginia Holm, Helen Hostetter, and Joyce Janson dividing the remaining votes. Tomco Makes It Close Taylor, a Fairhaven graduate, collected enough votes to lead Ed Tomco, of football fame, for the position of either man or woman representative. Taylor held a ten-vote margin over his W club brother. Anne Decker, Ed Angel, and Betty Swisher followed in the order named. Taylor is a home town boy and has attended Normal for five quarters. He's a miler on Sam Carver's track squad and managed the Junior Varsity basketball team. New Club Members Of Alkisiah Initiated Initiation of 11 new members took place at the regular meeting of the Alkisiah club held Monday evening at 7:30 p. m. in the club room. Talks relating to the personality of the individual were given by Thelma Curtis, Clara Cunningham, and Marjorie Tenoll. Mildred Bean was program chairman. The new members of the club are Myrtle Anderson, Betty Barker, Bernice Chambers, Carmen Ek, Millie Gerdis, Jean Hatch, Arlene Logan, Jean Lyons, Imogene Peterson, Marion Price and Marion Streater. The possibility of a boat or a weekend trip during this quarter was discussed and Mildred Bean was appointed chairman of a committee to work on the plans. At the regular meeting the nominating committee will take charge of election of officers. This meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Harold Fisher, an alumna. A program is being planned by Edna Pearson. o Ruckmick Attends Meet On Industral Educaton Herbert C. Ruckmick, Bellingham Normal instructor, will attend the spring meeting of the Western Washington Association for Industrial Education, held at the Monte Cristo hotel in Everett, Wash., tomorrow, April 18. During the conference, Mr. Ruckmick will speak on the subject, "New Challenges for Industrial Arts and Vocational Education." Mr. Ruckmick is chairman of the industrial arts group. Kulle Announces Tentative Campus Day Schedule; Appoints Committee Chairmen "Committees have been appointed and tentative plans made for Normal's annual Campus day to be held May 5," reports Ruth Kulle, general Campus day chairman. After assembly at 8 o'clock at which attendance will be taken, students will be transported in cars to No-r"- ad on Lake Whatcom. Homer Burroughs, chairman of transportation, urges all students who will have cars to sign the list on the main bulletin board. Until lunch at 11:30, facilities will be provided for swimming, horseshoes, hiking and boating. At the water carnival scheduled for 1 o'clock, men's and women's races, diving, and canoe races will be held. At 2 o'clock students will return to the campus for a 3 o'clock assembly which is under the direction of Burdette Miller. The Campus day dance will be held at 8 p. m. in the Big gym. Louise Vistaunet is dance chairman. "Tickets for the lunch and dance will probably be on sale next week. The price is 25 cents," according to Don Wilson, ticket chairman. Governor Martin Visits Bellingham BC Educators are Campus Guests; President Fisher Speaks In Vancouver Governor C. D. Martin made a short visit to this school Wednesday afternoon. Accompanied by the Board of Trustees and President C. H. Fisher, he inspected the P.E. building construction, stated that he was very well satisfied with the progress which is being made. Governor Martin has recently been to Washington, D. C, to confer about the Coulee dam project. He also visited the other Normals of the state during his trip. Other distinguished guests on the same day were President V. L. Denton, head of the Normal school at Victoria, B. C, and Mr. Campbell, Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. Reed of the Victoria Normal school faculty. -They spent the day visiting the school. President Fisher left for Vancouver, B. C, yesterday where he was a guest speaker at the annual convention of teachers from the province of British Columbia. He addressed the conference on "Significant Education Trends in the States." . o New Officers Elected By W Club; Boggess Discusses Vaudeville Ed Tomco was elected president of the W club at the meeting called Tuesday by President Bill Frender. Arne Johnson was chosen to serve as next year's vice-president, and Sheldon Stutz was elected secretary-treasurer. They will take office next year. Hurley Boggess, chairman of the W club vaudeville committee, reported that the vaudeville is scheduled for the evening of Monday, May 4. According to Boggess, plans for stunts and skits are rapidly taking shape. Coaches Sam Carver and Charles Lappenbusch also attended the meeting and each gave a short talk on the aims and ideals of the W club. Hall PlansDate Back to 1924 Student Union Building Possible With Added Student Fees Says Prexy "A Student Union building isn't anything new", says President C. H. Fisher. "In 1924 the school had a building plan for a Student Union building". The plan is in the hallway on the first floor outsde the president's office. "In this building would be concentrated all student activities and social life. The chief problem connected with any such project would be its financing. We must consider that there are other buildings far more pressing and any money we can get from the state must be used for the most urgent needs. Anyone would say that our need for a PE building comes before our need for a Student Union building. There are also one or two other buildings which will have to come before the proposed Student Union. School Needs Urgent "We are sorry it takes so much time to realize some of these things but we know of no other way that buildings can be erected at a state institution. Even the University of Washington hasn't been able to construct a Student Union building. There is no question as to the need for such a building and "there is nothing I'd like to see more than the provision for it. However, when we get money from the state for buildings we must convince the governor and the state legislature that what we're asking money for is the most urgent need the school has. "The only other possibility is some other plan of finance that would be worked out by the associated, students. Any plan of this sort would probably involve additional student fees. I do not believe that this is a good time to add to student fees for building purposes". . o Musical Tea Furnishes Funds For Scholarship To complete the $300 scholarship fund the ways and means committee of the Bellingham Women's Music club gave a Musical tea Monday afternoon in the lounge of the Bellingham hotel. A contest will be held on the third of May in which eleven contestants will compete for the scholarship. Several students from the Normal are to be entered, two pianists, Helen Griffith and Margaret Foster, and two violinists, Maxine Moldren and Margaret Collett. The judges will be from out of town.

JOAN HOPPE Editor HARRY KLUGE Managing Editor NANCY SMITH Business Manager LUCILLE LEE .News Editor LLOYD NELSON Sports Editor BOB WHITE Feature Editor HELEN BOOTHE Feature Editor KATHERYN HATCH Society Editor ALOHA GENTHER Staff Artist BEVERLY HOLIDAY Copy Editor Something to Think About In this era of mass production it seems that even educational institutions have been drawn into the irresistible . whirlpool. It was mentioned in the symposium of last Friday that teacher-training schools are inclined to become so engrossed in the manufacture of teachers that individual problems and interests are almost entirely submerged. Courses are ground out in routine manner covering definite amounts of material in a scheduled time, allowing no freedom of discussion and questioning on particular points or topics of special interest to the student. Page after page of material is ploughed through just for the sake of being able to say, "I have had European history from 1500-1900 and literature from Shakespeare to Shelley." Frolicl^ir^ OPEN DISCUSSION FAVORED Proved absolutely in last week's assembly was another point, that students are overwhelmingly 'in favor of open discussion meetings. The panel type of discussion has worked out very satsfactorily in many groups and there is no reason why it should not be equally as successful here. With certain leaders ready to give points on opposing sides of a quetion there are possibilities for very interestng and lively discussions on many controversial and timely topics. Mon Orloff pointed briefly in his introductory address last Friday the distinctly opposing aims of football and student union. He stated that as long as football is considered of major importance in the program and to the standing of this school there will be neither sufficient funds nor interest for the maintenance of a student union. It is up to the students to choose which they will have, the more intellectual type of school activity, or the more popular, rah-rah, college type. RIPPLES MAY WIDEN If the ripples begun by the recent symposium on the previously untroubled sea of student opinion continue to widen it may prove that the pendulum is on its return swing, and that having reached one extreme of thought we are being carried toward a more intellectually curious and open-minded attitude. Whether the ideas put forth are acceptable or not, they have given us, for a time at least, a great deal more to think about than many of us have recently had and tend to prove that we are not entirely a group of intellectually dormant and short-sighted egotists. o The Forum EDITOR'S NOTE: Forum welcomes your suggestions and constructive criticisms. We hope students and faculty alike will use this column to express their ideas about the school and any school activity. Contributions should not exceed 200 words and must be signed.

I l l see you next week and hope that more dirt is flying. If so, Til get itr Happy landings! PREXY INAUGURATES— The public forum is as old as Greek civlization. In the democracy of ancient Greece the forum played a large part. I believe historically you will find the forum used only in democratic societies. In early American history, in New England, democracy was fostered through the town meeting, which was a public forum. At various periods in our American life we have made use of some type of public forum, and there never was greater need in our country than there is today for the gathering of people in public discussion of our common social and economic problems. Public discussion, properly directed, will develop the pros and cons of any question. Such discussion will separate the wheat from the chaff, or truth from propaganda, and will bring into the open the real issues. To make people aware of their real problems and that there are no penacets for all their ills is a task that the forum can perform* Such forums are needed in every community in our country and they are also needed in the community life of students. Students, Faculty to Participate Students have their own problems peculiar to student life and many of these problems are related to the larger community life. Students have two means at their disposal for public discussion: one through an assembly of the student body, and the other through student opinion as expressed through the school paper. Both means have their place and should be used. The forum is nothing new with us for at different times we have used this means of discussion. I am glad to see a renewed interest among our students to use the forum for expressing student opinion. I am not overlooking the fact that the members of the faculty are an essential part of our school community. The faculty shares with students in the problems affecting our school life. I hope that provision will be made for faculty participation in any forum discussion. C. H. FISHER, President. _o Still with fond memories of high school rip-snorting, hilarious heydays revolving in their tender minds, the omnipresent frosh will strut their stuff in a great big way tonight. Beauteous bright crepe paper hats, noisy blah-blah horns, punch (with a punch—on account of the frosh make it with their own 99.4% pure hands), a mysterious entertainment feature during intermission, topped off the scintillating presence of Doc Cederstrom and Miss Ullin—and the evening is complete. The freshies even plan to have an orchestra! It should be a red-letter night for the freshmen—and at least .pink for the upper-classmen.

This is your WAA reporter bringing you the latest news in the world of sports. The big dog races take the center of the stage this week. Way out there in a secluded corner of the world, in a little wild, western village nestling in the mountains this unusual contest is taking place. From all over the countryside have come specimens of the most aristocratic doghood with the most lengthy pedigrees to be found the country over. The are being brought here by their expert trainers to contend in the big annual meet. Fat pups, skinny pups, tall pups, short pups, long-haired pups and bald pups —' every imaginable type of caninity is represented here. Notice how well they get along together — an excellent sign of good-breeding. Now the races are underway. With the grandstand on its feet and everyone elses the last pup straggles over the line Just a minute here — there seems to a little difficulty — there's a question being raised as to whether the daschunde in the pink sweater with yellow polkadots should be counted third since his hind legs are still coming around the third lap. Ah — I see they're going to measure him and if he's more than half way over the line he's to be counted in. We Repair All Makes of T Y P E W R I T E R S Remington-Rand 122 N.

They are well mixed so that they will have an opportunity to become better acquainted. Here we found a Sealyham with a Norwegian elkhound on one side and a French poodle on the other— all three chatting cheerly about the races, the probability of rain or the lightness and unusual texture of the biscuits (By Spratt). A number of welcomes and toasts followed, with entertainment by the hostess dogs, after which they all go to another kennel where they discuss dog-manners, what the well-dressed pooch is wearing this season, and the costs of attending canine college. Finally after a deal of tail-wagging and pow-wowing they are segregated by their trainers, leashed and sent on their way for the respective kennels. Their day is over for another year, by which time it is hoped many of them will be among the ranks of the hostesses.

This kid Alpaugh sure turned out to be a home run king when he cracked one of Bishop's fast ones on the nose for what looked like a grounder to shortstop, but due to the recent rains and Al-paugh's terrific power, the ball burrowed right into the ground, causing a little bump that looks like a robin's grave directly between third and second and almost on a straight line with the base line, where it will stay until the legislature passes a bill to repair the ball diamond, which needs it very badly. Zowie! SMITH—Business manager $400 in the hole. $400 in the hole. $400 in the hole. $450 in the hole. $450 in the hole. $500 in the hole. S600 in the hole. (Why in heck don't you sell out, Smitty?)

Campus day plans, involving a water carnival at Normal staged on Lake Whatcom, individual activities and two assemblies, were outlined to the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday by Ruth Kulle, Campus day chairman. She announced that Bill Hussey and Agnes Martin are in charge of the swim fete; Burdette Miller, assembly; Roberts Thygeson, lunch; Chet Orloff, tennis courts; Don Wilson, ticket sale; Ed Tomco, clean-up; Leonard Carroll, parking and loading; Louise Vistaunet, dance; Bill Frender, patrol; and Homer Bor-roughs, cars.

Manager Undecided With Coach Chuck Lappenbusch present, the Board again debated the value, duties and rewards of the athletic manager position. Board members expressed opinions that it would be justifiable only in so far as the manager could effect economy by policing of grounds at football games, enlarging of gate receipts, etc. Further discussion was tabled until next week.

Continuing the old tradition of initiating the future newspaper writers who are taking their first journalism, the Viking staff passed the beginners through the "grueling ordeal" yesterday afternoon at the Miller and Sutherlen print shop where the Northwest Viking is printed. After tossing their self-respect to the winds they were led from the campus down High street, through the city to the print shop, each tightly clasping a piece of string, under the direction of the sports editor. At their destination they, proceeded to the dreaded trip through "Terror Gulch", the short walk to the "mossy log" where their nerves were gently soothed and had their experience with the yellow type lice. Refreshments were served both during and after the initiation. It's only half over, however, and will be continued at the home of Joan Hoppe, editor, tomorrow night. Those being initiated are: Margaret Osier, Margit Olsen, Katie Mustappa, Mildred Richardson, Owen Lade, Clarence Soukup, Warren Toms, and Glen Meek. Racket Men Are Victorious Over Mount Vernon Collegians Last Monday Kidder Tops Golf List Holder and Johnsen Head Teams During Time Trials Because of the postponement of the University of Washington baseball game scheduled for next Monday, Coach Chuck Lappenbusch has arranged a practice game with the Bellingham Boosters to be played next Tuesday, April 21, at Battersby field. Lappenbusch has hopes of getting his team straightened out during the game and will probably find a winning combination from those turning out. The probable lineup will likely include Clifton or Stutz, catching; Bishop, Oppelt and Smith doing the chucking: Chorvat, Van-derGriend, Kvinsland, and Dzurich at the other infield posts. Alphaugh, Cook, Clifton, Dzeidzic, and Iverson are likely prospects to take care of the outfield posts. McKenzie Out Max McKenzie, veteran catcher, is unable to give full justice to his studies, work, and ball playing, and will be little seen on the diamond this year. Clifton, besides playing in the outfield is counted on to catch at times to relieve Stutz who is also handicapped by student teaching. A former Whatcom high school athlete, Clifton is also turning out for track in his spare time and is expected to play football next fall. Students Welcome All students who wish to see the team in their first performance of the year are invited to stroll across town and see the game Tuesday. The Boosters boast a strong hard hitting lineup composed of older and more experienced players than the Vikings and are expected to give them some opportunity to chase a few balls in the outfield. day in the slow time of 21.5 seconds for 180 yards. Golf will make its official debut in the Viking sport scheduled at 1:30 this afternoon when the Normal golfers meet the Pacific Lutheran college squad on the Lakeway golf course. ^ Phil Kidder will hold down the number 1 position, Pat Jacpbson second, and Bob Lindsey third. Jerry Jacobson will control fourth position and Manford Chase, fifth. Jerry Jacobson was on the bottom rung of the ladder for one day this week after Homer Morris defeated him in a match played Tuesday, but Jacobson retaliated by regaining the position on Wednesday. Morris is now automatically n the last rung of the golf ladder and will not get a chance to play in the matches today. According to Coach Sam Carver, the men who are representing the school this afternoon are not necessarily the regular squad. There is still a chance for a change in positions by means of team members' challenging each other.

A self-styled "vigilante committee" entered the dean's office, carried away the ballot box and threw the votes into the furnace. What could we do to the voting machines? With Arne Johnsen and Don Holder selected as captains of the two teams, two crack squads are squaring it off on the oval circle field, yesterday and today between 3:00 and 4:00 o'clock. The two captains picked their men from the candidates for the 1936 track squad. The purpose of this melee, which might be termed a dual meet between the forces of Holder and John-sen, is to give Coach Sam Carver an idea of the strength of his cinder lads and the probable men to use in the forthcoming Mount Vernon Junior college meet. Meet Thursday The Vikings will clash with the Collegians next Thursday, April 23, on the home track. The Norsemen should take this one in stride. There is a possibility that all events will not be held due to the inexperience of the Junior college squad.

N ET Neighborhood discussions fizzle when students, neighbors no-show Corinna Storch THE WESTERN FRONT On the night of Oct. 22, one of Lara Welker's worst fears was realized. At 7 p.m. the Campus Community Coalition planned to host the first of three nights of "Let's Talk," an open forum for students living off campus to meet with their residential- neighbors. The Oct. 22 meeting was for the Sehome neighborhood, held at the Garden Street Family Center. "I fear every time we hold a meeting that no one will show up," said Welker, the coordinator for the Campus Community Coalition. "It's never actually happened before." After waiting for 15 minutes, Welker canceled the meeting and sent the three student facilitators and the three police officers home. No other students or community members had come. The coalition hosts these meetings to address problems in the neighborhoods, as well as to establish friendly relations between students and long-term residents, Welker said. "The forums are for addressing arid explaining the lack of connection between students and their long-term neighbors," Welker said. "That's not true for all long- term neighbors and all students, but it's common. There's less time to establish friendly relations because students don't stay in the same area for a long- time. Sometimes they're only there for a year or less." Welker said the lack of attendance surprised her because it was one of their most advertised events. "It was the same location as last year," Welker said. "So I don't think people had a hard time finding it." Welker said last year the SeTiome neighborhood meeting had the fewest number of attendants. Welker said the coalition worked closely with the neighborhood associations, sent out a press release and invitations to the block watch captains and rental property owners and had the event announced on KGMI. Western senior Sharron Hallanger see DISCUSSIONS page 5 Flu shots help staff, students ward off sickness Megan Jonas THE WESTERN FRONT The Student Health Center began administering flu shots during walk-in clinic hours this week to students and staff trying to avoid the virus this season. George Mariz, Western history and honors professor, said the sickest he's ever been was when he had the flu, so he's been getting annual flu shots for the past eight to 10 years at the health center. He said he hasn't dealt with the flu since.. "It's $18," Mariz said. "It's not a guarantee, but it seems to me it's as good of a bet as you can get. I like the odds." Dr. Emily Gibson, director of the Student Health Center, said a greater percentage of faculty members take advantage of the flu shot clinics than students do. Approximately 300 students come in for shots each year, Gibson said. She said the health center treats 15 to 20 cases of influenza each week during the 12 to 15 week flu season, which is usually from December to March. However, Gibson said the students who come in for treatment only represent the tip of see FLU SHOTS page 3 Lead found in drinking water photo courtesy of Center for Disease Control photo by Michael Leese THE WESTERN FRONT The fifth floor drinking fountain in Arntzen Hall is being removed after health inspectors found almost twice the amount of allowable lead in its water. Strange odor prompts search, cause unkown Ashley Mitchell THE WESTERN FRONT Odd-smelling water was the first clue there was a problem with a water fountain on the fifth floor of Arntzen Hall. The fountain is now being removed after test results revealed nearly double the allowable amount of lead in the water. The water from the fountain was tested after the Environmental Health and Safety office received multiple complaints, said Gayle Shipley, director of Environmental Health and Safety. Removing the fountain solves one problem, but there is still the issue of the original smell, said sociology professor Jennifer Lois, who has an office on the fifth floor of Arntzen Hall. Lead is taste see LEAD page 5 New forum encourages dialogue Adam Cochran THE WESTERN FRONT Since it launched on Oct. 6, 2008, Western's Community Forum has presented Western students, faculty and staff members with a new way to communicate openly about a variety of issues. The online forum allows students, faculty and staff to voice their opinions about issues on and off campus, offer advice and post ads similar to those found on Craigslist.com. Anyone can create a profile, join a conversation, submit a blog or suggest any ideas they feel will help improve the forum, said Andrea Peterson, head of library systems. "It's meant to encourage other things to talk about than just school and what it's like to be involved in the Western community," Peterson said. Deborah Frost, assistant director for Information Technology for University Residences, said the forum could work to foster, a sense of community. Students and faculty are even able to chat with and suggest ideas to Western President Bruce Shepard. Shepard most recently posted on Oct. 10 about the interdisciplinary programs at Western. "This will allow for us to feel like we are a part of something and learn about each other," said Frost. Thus far, more than 650 have visited the forum and 62 profiles have been created, Peterson said. Some students say they have already had positive experiences on the forum. see FORUM page 3 Forums Dialogue Optm5ay It .

This year in particular, Gibson said she feels there is more awareness on campus about health because of the death of Western junior Chris Feden in February from Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), an infection most likely related to influenza. "That was a very scary thing to see a Western student die of influenza-related causes," Gibson said. While Gibson said vaccinations are never 100 percent effective since it's impossible to know exactly which strands of the flu will hit each season, she said the flu vaccine will help people be less sick. Good hygiene is also imperative for flu prevention, she said. Gibson said some people are discouraged from getting a flu shot because they believe the myth, "the flu shot causes the flu." This is not true, she said. Teresa Bodensteiner, a health center nurse who gives flu shots, said it is a coincidence when people come down with influenza after getting vaccinated. Most likely, they had already contracted the virus and it just hadn't kicked in yet, she said. Gibson said while there can be side effects from the shot, such as soreness at the injection site or a low-grade fever, she has not yet received reports of negative side effects from the staff who got vaccinated last week. Despite the possibility of mild side effects, Gibson said she recommends flu shots to the average student so that he or she doesn't miss classes. The flu normally wipes students out for four days and keeps them sick for 10 days overall, she said. "It's pretty tough to catch up after missing five days," Gibson said. Gibson writes emergency leave excuses for students, and said she has seen students fail classes after getting the flu. "Nobody wants to get sick, but. if there's any incentive to get the shot, it's so you don't lose a quarter," she said. /The walk-in vaccination clinic will be open fr6m 11:30 a:m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the end of the quarter. Gibson said she recommends coming in before Thanksgiving, since people will be travelling, possibly being exposed to new viruses. Students can also be more protected during finals that way, she said. The $18 cost can be covered by insurance but regardless, Western freshman Grace Miller said the cost is less than other pharmacies she looked into around Bellingham. Miller said she chose to get a flu shot for the first time on Tuesday because she didn't want to experience getting the flu again and thought it was a good idea to keep herself and others in her residence hall healthy. "In the scheme of vaccinations, this is an easy one," Gibson said. FORUM: Message board represents new medium for communication from 1 "The cool thing is that it's just about Western, and I think it's one step ahead of a lot of other schools," said Western senior and forum user Michael Murphy. "It allows for us to talk about how we really feel about atopic." Because the forum is only open to Western students and faculty members, it will be easier to manage than if it were open to the public, Peterson said. The idea for the forum came about after a group of faculty members from the library and members from ATUS attended a visual learning conference in Canada about two years ago, Perterson said. "At the conference, we learned that some groups were creating a virtual learning commons where people were working together to create an online collaborative space for people to talk," Peterson said. After the conference,, Peterson said she collaborated with Carmen Werder, director of the Teaching and Learning Academy at Western, and together they worked to create an online forum for Western. " Werder also teaches a civil discourse class where all of her 25 students are ex-, pected to participate in the forum. "This gives my students a.chance to observe, study and analyze' dialogue,"''' Werder said. Five groups, including the library, ATUS, the Teaching and Learning Academy, The Writing Center and University Residences helped the idea achieve fruition, Peterson said. An advisory group has met about the forum idea since last winter. The advisory group consists of Western faculty and staff, including Peterson, Werder, Frost, faculty from The Writing Center, president of student voices and Western senior Whitney Dunbar and graduate student Jonathan McConnell. If someone posts or says anything offensive, vulgar or defamatory, anyone can flag it on the forum and Peterson will be notified. Peterson said she would e-mail trie'advisory group so members can discuss what to do about it as a group. "If anything that is posted is way over the top, then I will pull it off of the forum immediately," Peterson said. "We're hoping that if something gets,bad, then.it'll become.: a learning , experience; for [the poster], and we'll ask them to revise it themselves." The guidelines for posting anything on the forum include being humane, open, ethical, credible and forgiving to the people who decide to post. Although the forum was created with good intentions, this does not guarantee success, Werder said. "The con would be that if students don't use it," Werder said. "If it isn't about what the students and staff want to talk about then I could see the forum just sort of fizzling out." Dunbar said she has high hopes for the forum. "Being honest and able to say what they will, hopefully benefit everyone on campus," she said. ..-..-.â€¢. YOU OOKSTORE ?PM0cto^r3ist Show up at the bookstore ready to scare!

Steves has explored the ends of the globe over the last few decades, writing 30 guidebooks along the way, and he will now pass along his tips of traveling smart and packing light to students and Belling-ham residents. Steves will be leading lectures at three different venues throughout the afternoon and evening, discussing topics from how to travel on a budget, to the problems with the American drug policy on marijuana. Family Outreach manager Kim Oesterling helped organize Steves' visit, which is a part of Western's annual Fall Family Open House, and said the university likes to bring speakers to campus who promote a dialogue of different perspectives. "That's another form of learning," Oesterling said. "It challenges you to grow when you hear how someone else thinks about an issue." Oesterling said Steves' "Travel as a Political Act" lecture, at 8 p.m., Oct. 24, in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) Concert Hall, is about being exposed to different opinions and the importance of learning about the politics and culture of other countries while traveling. Oesterling said any one of the three presentations by Steves would provide Western students, especially those who have not traveled outside the country, a taste of how eye opening traveling can be. "It opens you up and expands your horizons as a person, which facilitates learning," Oesterling said. "That's the point, and that's what we're here to do [at Western]." Students also have the opportunity to attend a more intimate question and answer forum with Steves if they signed up in advance. "Viking Travel Tips with Rick Steves" was organized by the International Programs and Exchanges (IPE) department and will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 24 in Haggard Hall room 153. IPE program coordinator Krista Man-tello said the department felt bringing in someone as knowledgeable as Steves would allow students to personalize their travel plans and interact with someone who has spent more than 100 days a year in Europe for the past 25 years. Mantello said Western's incoming freshmen class expressed a strong interest in international studies,,more so than any previous year, which stood out to the admissions office and prompted the departments to come together to cater to students' needs. With the economy struggling, Mantello said learning how to travel on a budget is important. Some students have been forced to withdraw from their international study plans because their financial situations are not as solid as they used to be, she said. "You can go to places [abroad] that are cheaper than studying at Western," Mantello said. "[It's] going to be really beneficial for students to realize that they can do what they want to do. They can go experience something outside of Western, and they can do it affordably." Steves hosts the PBS travel show "Rick Steves' Europe" and the original name for his business was Europe Through the Back Door, whose headquarters are located in Edmonds, Wash. "Personalized travel planning by Rick Steves?" Mantello said. "I don't think you can get much better than that." Western senior Molly Daugherty participated in a semester at sea in the spring of 2007 and traveled to countries such as Brazil, South Africa, Russia, India and Vietnam. She said she feels Steves' visit will be a great chance for students who are interested in traveling to narrow down their travel plans. "I think it's important to travel because it's so easy to get caught up in our own world," Daugherty said. "It sounds really cliche, but [traveling] totally opened the door and made me realize how lucky I am to be born where I was born." Anthropology professor James Loucky worked with Western's American Democracy Project to present Steves' "Challenging the Prohibition of Our Age" lecture at 2:30 p.m. in the PAC Concert- Hall. Loucky said Steves' lecture would discuss how other countries have dealt with the war on drugs much differently than the U.S. has, and how Americans may be able to benefit from the European view on the issue. photocourtesyofricksteves.com Rick Steves stands next to the Rhine River in Germany. "Other places in the world give us other ways of dealing with [marijuana use] as a health issue, as a personal choice issue and not just as a criminal issue," Loucky said. Loucky, who said he is an advocate for the legalization of medical marijuana, said it was critical for this discussion to take place on campus because controversial issues such as marijuana use need to be talked about more openly. "People all across time and space have used different substances for altering their consciousness or altering their states of being," Loucky said. "[Marijuana] is not just a negative phenomenon. It's widespread and it can have positive social functions."

The water was tested for bacteria but the results came back negative, Lois said. She is concerned because the focus on the high lead concentrations is taking attention away from why the fountain was originally checked. There are still no explanations why the fountain water smelled to begin with. The fact that the lead was found in the fountain could almost be called an accident, said Sociology department chair Karen Bradley, who has an office on the fifth floor. It is unknown how long the lead has been in the water because the only reason it was tested was because of the unrelated smell. Tests were conducted when faculty members with offices on the fifth floor of Arntzen noticed the water pressure was unusually high and there was a funny smell to the water in September, said Bradley. "The change in the water was very sudden and it smelled like paint thinner," Bradley said. "It was when the building maintenance was contacted about the smell that the testing started in early Sepr tember." Lois said the main complaint was the smell. "I heard complaints from two separate faculty members and decided to look it up myself. When I Googled 'water that smells like paint thinner,' I ended up with a list of results that had nothing to do with lead." Lois said she is still concerned for two reasons: first, because it is unknown how long the lead has'been in the water and second, because it is unknown how it has affected employees' health. While lead in higher concentrations doesn't usually have heavy effects on adults, it can cause developmental problems in children, Bradley said. Many women on the fifth floor of Arntzen have been pregnant or brought their children to their offices, she said. If people are concerned about their health in regards to lead poisoning they should consult their health providers, Shipley said. "Worrying about things that happen in the environment is not a healthy way to live," Shipley said. "Additional testing is happening on campus and students should feel safe drinking the water." Western doesn't usually test the water on campus because it is supplied by the city of Bellingham, Shipley said. The water in Bellingham is tested vigorously and doesn't contain high levels of lead, she said. The Environmental Health and Safety office first sampled the fountain's water.on Sept. 17. The results came back on Oct. 7 and showed that the concentrations of lead were 0.028 milligrams per liter (mg/1), which is twice the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maximum contaminant level. The allowable maximum containment level is 0.015 mg/1, according to the EPA Web site. The Environmental Health and Safety staff retested the water Oct. 8 after receiving the first results, Shipley said. "The testing involves a two-step sampling process," Shipley said. "The second testing uses a 30-second flush or running of the water so you can get a sample further down the plumbing section that has been sitting in the pipes." The second sample showed the lead levels in the water were 0.026 mg/1. That sample was lower than the first but still too highi Shipley said. The Whatcom County Health Department guided Western in making its decision on what should be done if the second sample came back high as well, said John Wolpers, Environmental Health Manager for the Whatcom County Health Department. "High concentrations of lead don't fesult from the water itself but from the pipes in the plumbing," Wolpers said. "Older buildings can have older lead-lined tanks and pipes that lead to the water fountains." The numbers were over the allowable amount but they weren't abnormally high, Wolpers said. Western officials turned off the water and put signs On the water fountain advising people not to drink the water. After contacting the state Health Department and looking at the concentration levels, it was decided to remove the fountain,- Wolpers said. â€¢ l "The state has seen a lot worse," Wolpers said. "Western officials just decided better to be safe-than sorry." All other water fountains in Arntzen Hall were tested for high concentrations of lead on the same day the second test were administered, Shipley said. No second samples were needed because the tests for those fountains came back with very low levels of lead. "To my knowledge, we have not removed any other water sources on campus for high levels of lead or any other reasons," Shipley said. "The water and plumbing is checked when problems arise and there haven't been any like this." The water from newer buildings on campus, specifically structures built or updated from the 1990s on, does not contain lead because the plumbing is updated, Shipley said. photo by Michael Leese THE WESTERN FRONT DISCUSSIONS: Coalition cancels community forum after dismal turnout from 1 was at the meeting with her roommate, Western senior Andrea Smith. Both are part of a new Associated Students Club called Viking Community Builders, and planned to be facilitators at the meeting. "I first came to 'Let's Talk' my sophomore year," Hallanger said. "That was my first realization that there are a lot of community members out there affected by students. I think a lot of students don't realize when they move to Bellingham that they are moving to a city with long-term residents." Smith said the meetings serve as a great opportunity for students to become aware of the different goals of their neighbors. "There are always problems between students andjong-term residents ,w Smith said. "That's what happens when two different groups of people with different ways of living live near each other." Smith said "Let's Talk" tries to help relieve tension over those differences. "The forums provide a structured but informal setting to discuss issues like parties and noise when it's not in the heat of the moment," Welker said. The issues covered at the meetings are not limited to parties and noise complaints but also extend to garbage and parking disputes, Welker said.

Robert Vanderyacht, one of the three police officers at the meeting, said he thought it was too bad nobody showed up. "It's great to talk directly with students and let them know what we expect, as well as talk about ideas of what has worked in the past," Vanderyacht said. Vanderyacht is a night-shift supervisor and said he deals with the party scene. Every year, when fall quarter starts, there is an increase in student parties and noise complaints, Vanderyacht said. "It's important for students to understand the level of tolerance our community has for bad conduct," Vanderyacht said. Vanderyacht attended another Campus Community Coalition last year and said a neighborhood representative admitted to being a rowdy student before he graduated. "He was so outward about how bad his conduct was as a student, and now he understands the other side," Vanderyacht said. "It was really helpful for everyone to hear his story." Welker said the coalition will still host its next meeting in the Happy Valley neighborhood at 7 p.m. Oct. 27. at Our Savior's Lutheran Church on Harris Avenue. ---------- Western Front 2008-10-24 - Page 6 ---------- 1 6 I Friday â€¢ October 24,2008 I The Western Front ARTS* ^^â€¢MiMHHNi '36 Views,1 the curre by the Theatre Ar merges East with W lt; Japanese styii ---------- Western Front 2008-10-24 - Page 7 ---------- r westernfrontonline.net I Friday â€¢ October 24,2008 I 7 nt play produced s Department, st in a traditional of drama. - Austin Mackenzie THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Jordan Williams and Western senior Anna Townes faced each other on stage. "They're almost archaic, but the strokesâ€”the strokes are almost identical," Williams said. Slowly, Townes approached him until their faces almost touched and placed a brush in his hand. "Show me," she said. Williams approached a blank screen and began to mime the motion of painting. "Hold please," a tech crew member in-, terrupted from the lightboard placed in the center of the almost empty theater. The actors immediately fell into laughing and talking. Director Patrick Dizney, a Western theater arts instructor, took this moment to discuss the lightning cues with the tech crew. "Please continue," the crew member said after a short discussion. Immediately, the actors snapped back into character, and the scene resumed as if uninterrupted. The actors were rehearsing their performance of "36 Views," a play written by Naomi Iizuka.. "It melds an ancient Eastern world with a contemporary, cosmopolitan Western world," Dizney said. Dizney said the play is set in a modern city where a woman creates a mock Japanese manuscript and makes it look authentic, causing a stir in the art world. While the manuscript is eventually revealed as fake, Dizney said, the play centers around the characters and their reactions instead of the art world's reaction. The name "36 Views" comes from the famous Japanese wood block print series, "36 Views of Mt. Fuji," by the artist Katsushika Hokusai. The play emphasizes how people view the world from different perspectives and can only experience one perspective at any given time, Dizney said. The play has a cast of only six characters, which actors came in and openly auditioned for, Western junior Harry Jamieson said. Jamieson, who plays Asian antique dealer Darius Wheeler, said after auditioning he was called back specifically for the part of Wheeler. "It's a big challenge, but in some ways it comes very easily to me," Jamieson said. "I think Darius Wheeler, in a way, can be kind of a chameleon in that he behaves very differently depending on who he's interacting with. It gives me as an actor room to have fun with that." Western senior Zach Mercier plays Owen Matthiassen, a professor of East Asian studies. "I auditioned just because I liked the style I heard the play was going to be using," Mercier said. "As any other actor we try to get as many pails as possible. I auditioned for that and Patrick Dizney is a director I really enjoy and I really wanted to work for him." Dizney encouraged the members to get a feel for their character by having them act out scenarios in character and flesh out how each character feels and thinks, Mercier said. "My perceptions of my character and the other characters has changed since I originally got the script in that we've just had a lot of ensemble building time with what each character wanted," Mercier said. The members spent time holding discussion sessions to flesh out their characters, and found them moving in completely different directions than originally anticipated, he said. Mercier said he had studied the Kabuki style of Japan before, which was one of the major reasons he wanted to join the cast. "I have this worry that people will hear that the play is based off Kabuki style and be turned off by the idea of it," Mercier said. "It's a very Western style which incorporates Eastern style." Kabuki theater is an acting tradition in Japan that is highly presentational in nature, Dizney said. It emphasizes dramatic movements and makes use of distinctive exits and entrances when the characters enter or exit the stage. The style also employs clappers, wooden blocks that are smacked together to produce a sharp cracking sound to mark a scene. These clappers are used in "36 Views" to mark the change in mood or emotion, Dizney said. Western senior Anna Townes plays Claire Tsong, a woman who becomes embroiled in the fallout surrounding the mock-up manuscript. "She's a very eccentric, very in-the-mo-ment kind of girl," Townes said.' Townes said she was attracted to the play's Kabuki-based visual style, which has also challenged her as an actress. "It's based on timing and fluidity and moving together in the same space and making it look coherent," Townes said. "That's been challenging but in a really fun and interesting way." The play isn't separated by tangible acts, Dizney said. The scenes move at their own pace and there is no major benchmark as to when one part begins and the other ends, which sets it apart from many Western plays, he said. "It's a smart play," Dizney said. "It makes you think and hopefully feel." Dizney said he's proud of his cast and the effort they've put into the show. "I can't tell you how much energy and focus they've put into this," Dizney saidVTt's one of the plays I'm most proud of." "36 Views" debuts at 7:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center Oct. 23 and runs through Nov. 2. Tickets for students and seniors are available in the Western Box Office for $9. General admission is $12. photos by Michael Leese THE WESTERN FRONT LEFT: Western junior Jessica Young plays Setsuko Hearn, an assistant professor of East Asian literature.

Think about how long it takes to get dressed in the morning. Has the task ever been so daunting that skipping it altogether and leaving the house naked seemed like the best option? Spectators at Civic Stadium now have the option to spend the amount of time it takes to get dressed in the morning, sorting their garbage thanks to a new Bell-ingham Parks and Recreation Department recycling and composting program. The overall goal of the program is to change the social norm that exists within athletic venues, said Heather Higgins- Aanes, environmental program coordinator for Bellingham Parks and Recreation. "People need to learn there is more to life than the eat, dump, and run routine they have grown accustomed to," Higgins- Aanes said. The new routine needs to involve two essential steps, she said. First, spectators should steer away from leaving their garbage at their seats*. Once patrons leave their seats, they need to take the time to sort their various pieces of waste at the recycling stations, she said. "Spectators need to understand their social responsibilities extend to the sporting events," Higgins-Aanes said. "There is no other recreational area where people throw their garbage on the ground." If a spectator buys a fountain drink, three different receptacles are used to sort the various parts, Higgins-Aanes said. The straw goes into the garbage while the lid is to be placed in the recycling bin. Finally, the cup is made of paper and is biodegradable and should be deposited into the blue composting bin. Less than two months after the inception of the program, the amount of garbage thrown away at football games has been reduced by .85 percent, said Sara Southerland, environmental education and outreach coordinator for the city parks de^ partment. Seventeen 60-gallon bags of compost were collected at the first Western football game of the year at Civic Stadium. In past years, Civic Stadium's waste was composed of 100 percent of garbage, destined for a 300-mile trip to the Roosevelt Regional Landfill in the hills of Klickitat County, Southerland said. In comparison, composted materials are now transported 20 miles to Green Earth Technologies in Lynden, where the composting process takes effect in just 60 days, she said. Once the composted materials are converted into soil, the product is sold to local businesses to aid in their development efforts, she said. Each of the four recycling stations is managed by recycling educators dressed in bright shirts, ready to aid visitors in their sorting efforts, Higgins-Aanes said. Reactions have been mostly positive to the new procedures, Southerland said. Although she admits some negative responses concerning the importance of the project have been heard. The concession stands at Civic Stadium are working to sell products that can be recycled or composted entirely, Higgins-Aanes said. Both the city and Western are in the process of determining the most effective methods to make sure spectators at Western games take part in the composting. Western's Office of Sustainability coordinator Seth Vidana said the university is in the early "stages of the project and decided that in order to create a successful plan, its first step must be determining specifically who attends Western football games. The Civic Stadium recycling project is part of the countywide Towards Zero Waste program run through local nonprofit Sustainable Connections, Executive Director Michelle Long said.

In the United States, being honest and taking responsibility for your actions are valued traits. Western has a very strict policy regarding plagiarism and cheating. If students are caught cheating, they can be ejected from their majors or possibly kicked out of school. Western is considering using the application Safe Assign on B lack- Board to catch plagiarism. Yes, it might be good to catch cheating but would this program also put innocent students at risk? Several things are wrong with this program. It searches for identical phrases and does not distinguish whether the passage was cited correctly or not. This means correctly cited work could be labeled as plagiarism by the program. Not to mention, the program's database is so limited, it did not catch some submitted articles from Western Libraries. The program also takes other papers written by. students and compares them. This may not always be effective. If a professor assigns a large class of students the same assignment year after year, there is bound to be overlap. SafeAssign would also slow the rate at which professors can return papers to their students. The program could take days to check everything. There is something eerie about a machine making this type of decision. Plagiarism should be assessed.on a case-by-case basis. Machines cannot solve this type of ethical problem. Plagiarism is more than just copying another person's work; it is a serious issue which should be addressed. Students who choose .to plagiarize are cheating themselves. They are wasting their professor's time and wasting their own money. What is the point of attending a university to receive a degree and graduate if you have little interest in learning? There are resources for students struggling with grades. Students can meet with their professors and get help or guidance on homework. Professors are here to help students in students' pursuit for education and many are happy to help out when someone needs some extra attention. The Tutoring Center is filled with competent employees who work solely to help students with class assignments. The Writing Center can help students with all their writing needs and has a number of handouts concerning proper grammar usage and how to cite work. People should not be ashamed to ask questions and should not resort to cheating. Plagiarism needs to be stopped before a student submits his or her paper. Students should be honest and strive to uphold ethical standards. Don't take the easy way out. You wouldn't want to hear the police chief has a false certificate or your brain surgeon cheated on his exams in school. You wouldn't want to enter the job market, especially in the current economic recession where jobs are hard to find, unprepared and incompetent. Being honest and accountable is vital to developing a qualified workforce. If students plagiarize their way through college they will not be prepared for the challenges of the real world. Plagiarism is an awful thing that needs to be addressed. But SafeAssign will not be an effective way to bring an end to cheating or the reasons behind it.

Support incumbent Chris Gregoire for governor Natalie McClendon Guest Columnist Our state will face tough times in the next four years, and the next governor will have to make difficult decisions. Our job as voters is to decide how these challenges will be met, by choosing a candidate based on the values and priorities they will use to make these hard choices. Gov. Chris Gregoire understands the values of our state as a whole. She grew up in Auburn, started her career in Spokane and now works across the state as governor. She has always understood the issues that matter most to the middle class. Creating jobs, improving education and expanding health care have been her priorities, and her commitment to those issues has made our state a better place. This is in sharp contrast to her Republican opponent, Dino Rossi. His plan to help our economy is to lowerâ€”yes, lowerâ€” the minimum wage by $1.50 per hour while giving $500 million in tax breaks to multimillionaires. Even after seeing the devastation on Wall Street, he wants to deregulate health care in the same way. And he's in denial about global warming with no plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, Rossi is so far-right on social issues he would deny women birth control and emergency contraception, with no exception for victims of rape or incest. Gov. Gregoire's record shows she is the leader we can trust in tough times. She expanded health care coverage to include 84,000 more children and is fighting to cover all children by 2010. Gov. Gregoire has invested more in education than any governor in state history. She made much-needed improvements to grades K-12, like smaller class sizes and fair teacher pay, and also recognized the importance of early learning and higher education. Gov. Gregoire is an unparalleled champion for Washington's colleges and universities. She helped add 18,000 new enrollment slots in colleges and universities, including hundreds right here at Western. She also provided funding to renovate three of Western's buildings. Unlike Rossi, Gov. Gregoire understands the value of scientific research and women's rights. She won't stand in the way of embryonic stem-cell research. She'll always stand up for a woman's right to choose, and she'll ensure women have access to all medications. In tough times, Washington needs a leader who will stand up for working families and preserve our state's values while making difficult decisions. Gov. Gregoire is that leader. Natalie McClendon is the chair of Whatcom County Democrats. The Western Front contacted the Whatcom County Republicans about writing a column and heard no response. Letters to the Editor More to technology fee than was reported I thought it was great that Glenn Smith talked about the technology fee. He used the library laptops as his example for what the fee pays for, but the fee pays for many more services than just the laptops. If you have ever had to use the student tech center for class or to learn how to use programs, our fee pays for this service. The student tech center has cameras, movie software, printers, scanners and even tape recorders. Only $2 of the $17 fee goes to pay for the student tech center. I am amazed at how much the student tech center can do for $2 per student per quarter. The rest of the $17 goes toward updating all the other technology services on campus, like all the computers in the library and in the labs and the software found on those computers. The fee does not pay for ongoing maintenance like buying more printing paper or ink; the school foots the bill for that. But the fee is up for renewal and it can raise up to 100 percent of what it is now unless you, the student, do something about it. Tell people what you want the fee to pay for. Tell the administration what you want your fee to go toward. They proposed using our fee to pay for music downloading software. This is a waste of our money, and we should urge them to not waste our money in such a way. I was so glad the Frontline talked about the forums! They make an introverted person like me able to get involved and voice my opinions. There is a thread on the forums about the student tech fee and people's ideas of what the fee should be and if it should be increased. I urge everyone to go check it out and let the administration know how you feel. Valarie Lloyd Western senior There are benefits to Focus on the Family I would like to give a response to all of the recent discussion in this newspaper regarding Chick-fil-A and Focus on the Family. I desire to bring to your attention programs run by Focus on the Family that help people. The Focus on the Family Web site alone offers lots of advice for couples, parenting, financial advice, podcasts of talk-radio shows with James Dobson and many more services. They have a children's radio show, Adventures in Odyssey. Also, there is a Web site devoted to university students and the issues they face as Christians on a college campus. There is a lot of help available for all kinds of people struggling with real-life issues. I felt the need to speak up because I keep hearing negative criticism about Focus on the Family through this newspaper. I realize that Focus on the Family is also committed to ministries that will not agree with the lifestyles of many people on campus, but I hope that I brought to your attention that Focus on the Family is a Christian organization committed to making a difference in this world by helping people.

The unbeaten streak is the longest run since 1984. Western improved to 12-2-1 overall and 9-0-1 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Central fell to 7-5-3 overall and 4-4-1 in conference play. "At this point, every win is big," Western junior midfielder Jenny Barton said. "But it's always a tough game against Central." Western senior defender Katie Warner agrees with Barton about competing well against Central. "It's good to get a win on the road, especially against [Central]," Warner said. "We have a lot of bad blood with them." The Vikings remain first in conference standings and have moved up one photo courtesy of Kate Pridemore Western women's soccer team secured their 10th-straight win Oct. 22 against Central Washington University. Western won the match 2-1. spot to 13th in this week's National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Coaches poll. Western head coach Travis Connell said the ranking makes him proud of the team's success. "We have great leaders that do a good job on focusing the team," he said. "I give all the credit to our captains and seniors." Despite Central out-shooting West-em 22-14 in shots at goal and 8-3 in corner kicks, Western got on the scoreboard first. Western junior forward Lucy Miller scored in the .18th minute with an assist from Warner. It was Miller's sixth goal of the season. She is tied for second in goals for the season with Western sophomore forward Molly Shannon. They are right behind Western sophomore forward Claire Morgan, who has eight goals. Western went into halftime with a 2-0 lead after Western junior defender Bryn Gibson scored her first goal of the season in the 33rd minute, with an assist from Barton. With 22 minutes left in regulation, Central scored their first and only goal of the game off a penalty kick. Western senior goalkeeper Kylie Broadbent had nine saves on the game. "Kylie had some nice saves, some from point blank range," Connell said. "She kept us in the game." B.arton said she likes the team's chances of doing some damage and going far into the NCAA tournament in the playoffs. "As a team we have great chemistry," she said. "If we keep playing well, we'll get into the tournament." Western returns home for a non-league matchup against Simon Fraser University at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 at Whatcom Community College's Orca Field. Volleyball stings Yellowjackets Christine Karambelas THE WESTERN FRONT The Western volleyball team swept Montana State University Billings in three sets Oct. 23 at Alterowitz Gym in Billings, Mont. Now 15-2 overall and 7-2 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, the Vikings are ranked 12th nationally in Division II. "The team was focused from the beginning to the end," Western head coach Diane Flick said. "There have been some problems in the past where [we] have stopped putting pressure on the other team and that didn't happen tonight." The first set included seven consecutive points won by Western, six served by Western freshman libero Haleigh Adkins. Western finished the set strong, winning 25-16. They won the second set 25-18 and didn't hold back in the third set, winning 25-7. Western sophomore outside hitter Megan Amundson had 12 kills and 10 digs. Western senior middle blocker An-gie Alvord had nine kills and five blocks. Western sophomore libero Allison Gotz had 14 digs and three service aces. "We held our own," Alvord said. "There were good plays, long runs, and we did a good job at keeping the pressure." The game was kept simple and played with great defense and few errors, Flick said. Western's next game is against conference- leader Western Oregon University at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 in Carver Gym. Support Western's athletic teams Jesse Amorratanasuchad Spiorts Columnist Western athletic teams have shown their quality this season, and it's hard not to take notice. For those of you who are tired of watching our regional teams lose, go watch one of Western's fall sports teams compete in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Our school's teams are not on Sports- Center every night, but this doesn't mean they aren't putting on exciting performances. That's more than I can say for the other teams in Washington. The outlook for sports teams in the state has not been particularly good since the beginning of fall. As fans we tend to try and avoid any discussion of the tragic losses for Washington teams. The Seattle Mariners slumped to another disappointing season. The Super- Sonics are officially done as a franchise, in Seattle. And the Seahawks, who are 1-4, are having their worst season since Mike Holmgren has been head coach. But it doesn't stop there. Washington State University's foot-bail team is 1.-6 overall, getting crushed by University of Southern California 69-0 Oct. 18 in Pullman, Wash. The University of Washington football team has yet to win a game this season, with quarterback and Femdale local Jake Locker going down early in the season with a broken thumb. The Seattle Storm has been the one quality team in Washington that has competed for playoff spots for the past few years. Women's volleyball is currently ranked 12th in Division II with a record of 15-2. Volleyball started the season on a 13-game unbeaten run, which was the best start in the team's history. The women's soccer team is ranked 13th nationally and has a record of 12-2-1. The team is currently on a 10-game unbeaten streak, the longest since 1984. Last week, Western junior midfielder Kelly Irving earned the conference player-of-the-week award. Irving scored the game-tying goal against sixth-ranked Seattle Pacific University and a goal in the 3-1 win over // Our school's teams are not on SportsCenter every night, but this doesn't mean they aren't putting on exciting performances. ft As a Washington native, the most exciting, but sometimes difficult, part of watching these games is when the game clock winds down to zero. The losses keep piling up and dejected fans keep slumping sadly into their seats. Professional teams in Washington have been depressing to follow. So since none of the teams nationally televised are worthwhile to watch, support our sports at Western and go see one of our nationally ranked teams play. Saint Martin's University last week to earn the award. Men's soccer is 8-5-2 for the season and has won their last three league games, taking first in the conference. Western junior defender Nick Saletto won the conference player-of-the-week award as the team allowed only one goal in two games last week. The football team is still in the hunt for the postseason, vying for a spot in the Rotary Bowl with a 3-2 conference record. Both men's and women's cross country will peak as regionals come around and have been placing well in each meet they have run so far. The cross country teams will travel to Yakima for the conference championships on Oct. 25. The men's team will be running for their third-straight conference title. On the women's side, Western sophomore Sarah Porter has been running in a league of her own. Porter has a conference-best four wins this season going into the meet, as she competes against the heavily favored women's team from Seattle Pacific University. This has been one of the more successful seasons for the athletic department for several years and approximately one third of the season is still left. Successful sports teams all start with fan support. Even if teams are successful, the atmosphere of where they play has a great effect on team performances. The more fans we can get out to games, the more likely athletes will want to play at Western. The better athletes Western recruits, the better the sports programs will be. What Washington teams need now, more than ever, is support. The more the better. Rally behind Western's fall sports as they all push for postseason play. ---------- Western Front 2008-10-24 - Page 11 ---------- westernfrontonline.net I Friday â€¢ October 24,2008 SPORTS I 11 Women's basketball looks to rebound Derek Messling THE WESTERN FRONT For a team that had its streak of 15 winning seasons snapped last year after being decimated by injuries, one commipn goal has emerge^ from the Western women's basketball team - redemption. Returning to the court this winter will be a healthy team, ready to get back to their winning ways. "We want to recapture the legacy of Western Washington women's basketball," senior center Claire Pallansch said. "With everyone that was injured last year now healthy, we want to prove that we are back." Starting five freshmen last year due to injuries, Western lacked experience on the court, sophomore guard Amanda Dunbar said. The team finished 9-21 overall and 6-12 in conference play last season. "Last year was tough, but stuff happens and we lost five starters before the season started," head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "Nobody is happy losing here." Dunbar said the team is hoping the growing pains from last season may have been a blessing in disguise, as the younger players gained valuable on-court experience. Dolfo said the overall depth of her roster will be an asset this winter. "We don't drop off when the starters are out of the game," Pallansch said. "We are all talented players." The team spent much of the offseason strength training and running to become CRIMINAL RECORD?

Looking to play an up-tempo style of basketball this season, Dolfo said she believes her team's ability to get out arid run will be vital to its success. ' - ' This year's team is: led by their three captains, senior forward Liz McCaifell, junior forward Willow Cabe and Pallansch. ' ; "â€¢'''- "CJur captains are players who* have experience and know what it means to have success," Dolfo said. "They are players that are willing to step up and take charge." Nine letter winners return to a veteran team that finished strong last year. A second team all-conference selection two seasons ago, McCarrell will be back on the court after missing all of last season with a foot injury. Dunbar, the returning conference Freshman of the Year, heads into the season as the top returning scorer, averaging 14.1 points per game last season. Pallansch, a second team all-conference selection a year ago, is looking to improve upon last season's numbers in which she was in the top 10 within the conference in scoring, rebounding and blocks. Two transfers enter the fray in senior forward Jessica Summers from the University of Idaho arid sophomore guard Megan Pinske by way of the University of British Columbia. The team has high expectations for itself heading into the 2008-09 campaign, Dunbar said.

"This year, it isn't about whether we make the playoffs," senior guard Ira Graham said. "It's about how far we will go in the playoffs." After a promising start last season, going 8-2 in their first 10 games, the Vikings finished sixth in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference with an 8-10 conference record. "Last season wasn't a season I look at as stellar," head coach Brad Jackson said. "We had a lot of young players who lacked experience. We lost a lot of close games. If we just finished stronger, we could have easily ended the season with a 20-7 record." But with age comes experience, and experience will be the team's strongest asset this year, Jackson said. The team includes five returning seniors including Graham, the leading scorer last year with 18.5 points per game-second best in the league. Another notable returning senior is forward Calin Schell, who shares team captain responsibilities with senior center and forward David Brittinen. "[Schell] is a rugged competitor," Jackson said. "He's what I like to call a blue- collar player. He works hard and does whatever the team needs from him whether it's rebounding or scoring inside." Schell led the team with 7.7 rebounds per game and was third on the team in scoring with 9.2 points per game. "The key to this, season is to embrace the team camaraderie and realize we're all working toward the same goal," Schell said. "As a captain, I'm going to lead my team, which includes letting them know when they're doing something right and when they're doing something wrong." This year, it isn't about whether we make the playoffs. It's about how far we will go in the playoffs. - Ira Graham, senior guard Other returning seniors are guard Steve Alford, who was second on the team in scoring with 10.1 points per game last season, and center Zach Bruce. Western senior guard Derrick Webb will miss the year due to a wrist injury suffered during the offseason. r With the injury to Webb, junior guard Harold McAllister may see more time this season. McAllister led the team in steals last season. "[McAllister] had a strong year last year," Jackson said. "He's been consistently improving since he's been in the program." The team has three transfers this year including 7-foot junior center Dave Vanderjagt, who played last year at the University of Montana. The other two transfers are junior guard Morris Anderson from Highline Community College and junior forward Michael Duty from Bellevue Community College. "I think we have all the pieces in place for a successful season," Jackson said. "Our attitude is great. The makeup of the team position-wise is nicely balanced between the inside and outside game." The team's success this season will largely depend on their ability to stay tough minded and consistent, Jackson said. Offense was not the problem for the team last year, averaging 79.1 points per game, second in their division. "Defense is the lynch pin of champions," Jackson said. "And I'm anticipating we will play at a high level this year, maybe even at a championship level. But as.a coach, there's only one game to worry about and that's the next game." Last season, the Vikings held opponents to 41.2 percent from the field and 70.9 points per game. But they failed to finish off opponents in close games, losing six games by seven points or less. "This year, I want to focus on being a defensive stopper," Alford said. "Playing defense as a team is what we're focusing on right now." Team practice started Oct. 15. Seeing the players on the first day of practice is a good indicator of what to expect this season, Jackson said, -v "The things I always look for when the season starts is how conditioned the players are," Jackson said. "The conditioning of the players really tells you how committed they are to the team because it is proof of the work they've been doing in the training room during the offseason." Jackson was very impressed with the team's conditioning and aims to utilize the team's toughness more in their game play. "I am trying to create an aura of toughness on the court," Jackson said. "I want the team to play more physical. Basketball is a contact game, and we need to be the aggressors on the court in order to win." The season starts Nov. 17. The Vikings host an exhibition game against Team Another Level, an amateur team of non-student players at 7 p.m. Nov. 1 in Carver Gym. The team is also hosting an intersquad game at 3 p.m. Oct. 26 in Carver Gym. "The team will be fun to watch this year," Jackson said. "I hope we can get the community and the students behind us. It really helps to have that sixth-man mentality of the crowd behind us." Ira Graham OS MINUTES TO FOR SALE â€¢ FOR SALE â€¢ FOR SALE | B . 6 Â£ l f p c j p^ WHY PAY RENT?

NET WORTH Vikingsace Samurais in 16 out of 18 matches page 8 The Western Front 1 Students to fashion fun racer ByEric C. Evarts staff reporter For $3,000, students should be able to drive away this summer with 10credits and a new car , of their own. Three classes in the Vehicle Research Institute, which must betaken together, are offered this summer and will have a combined lab fee of $1,600, on top of the $600summer tuition. Psychology professor Pete Pielstick is one of seven students registered for the class so far. He said he is looking forward to building his own car and bought a 1976 Mazda RX-4 to donate tothe project. In Technology 384,385 and 386, students will each build an autocross car based on aMazda "donor car" each student must also provide. The final cars will be reproductions of the autocrosscar VRI student Ed Wogulis built for the department last fall. The classes will be the only ones offered inthe VRI this summer and are limited to 10 students. So far, only five or six students have paid the $300deposit to reserve their seats in the classes. Pielstick is one. He said he has been a car buff since herestored a 1934 Lincoln V- 12 limousine in 1970 and has "fixed up a lot of cars since." All togetherstudents will probably pay about $3,000 each to drive their own cars out at the end of the summer,Wogulis said. The cars can be made street legal, he said, but their primary purpose will be to compete in autocross eventsâ€”races for time held by local auto clubs, usually on courses marked by cones in aparking lot. Pielstick plans to make his car street legal and intends to use more stock parts from hisMazda than the prototype. In order to be street legal, the state patrol will have to inspect the cars andcertify them as rebodied Mazdas. Ideally, Wogulis said, the donor car would be a Mazda rotary pickup,but since few such trucks were built, any rotary-powered Mazda See VRI on page 4 Families l p | ^ | n t| ] r i p^ Â§j|air|^^ |Â§fÂ§g6|p^^ i ^ ^ s t i :^ f s | h e ^^ | K | | s t^ liiiiiiHilillilllill Juniors Colleen Nelson, left, Alicia Taylor, center, and Erin Nelson, esterhFront Toxicology director signs off Kendall Westernexperienced a "brain drain" last week when Director Ron Kendall of the Institute of Wildlife Toxicologyformally announced his resignation, said Huxley Dean John Miles. The same day, a Huxley committee recommended broadening the scope of the program, from wildlife toxicology to "ecotoxi-cology," Milessaid. Kendall was unavailable for comment on his formal declaration, which is effective May 1.Clemson University officials were also unavailable for comment on Kendall's move to South Carolina.Kendall's resignation and imminent move to Clemson have been rumored for months. "The gist of it isthat we're moving ahead and continuing the wildlife toxicology department. Of course, the players havechanged and the emphasis may change based on the players," Miles said. Huxley plans to hire a toxi-cologist to replace Kendall and hopes to fund a part-time director for the institute, Miles said. Statefunding will be necessary during the transition from Kendall to a new director because much of theinstitute's budget is see IWT on page 4 Smokers crave VU, want ban reversed Several studentspetitioned the Associated Students Board last Tuesday to support their right to smoke in the VikingUnion. Three students asked the board to rescind the Facilities and Services Council's March 8 ban onsmoking in the VU third floor lounge. The council's ban on smoking in the Ala Carte dining area andPlaza Pizza was not challenged by the students. The board upheld the council's decision on the thirdfloor lounge, rejecting two proposals brought by student and council member Kurt Shelton asking theboard to either hold a second public hearing or overturn the council's decision. The council held apublic hearing on the issue March 1. No students attended the hearing. AS President Tammy Fleming said the board is still open to student input on reestablishing a smoking area in the VU. AS VicePresident for Residence Life, Mike Petrie, in presenting the students' concerns before the boardTuesday, said "as a smoker I'm concerned that there is no place to smoke. I think there should be anarea open all hours for people to smoke."

Drums pounded out the start of the FourthAnnual American Indian Powwow last weekend. The dancers moved methodically and slowly to thecadence of the drums and songs. "I used to walk the highsteel as a construction worker, but nowdancing is my profession," Marty Pin-necoose, a Southern Ute from Salem, Ore., said. "It's likerodeo, you have IO be strong, healthy and good to make a living," he added. He described his costumeas being very personal, an expression of himself. Each tribe has a design that designates what regionthey are from and each dancer adds to the design, Pinnecoose said. "I choose colors from MotherNature and the rainbow," he said. The dancers have their own style of self-expression in a dance, hesaid. "It's very spiritual. A beautiful, strong song makes you want to dance, to express yourself,"Pinnecoose said. Touring with the American Indian Dance Theatre, he recently finished a four-week tour in the Middle East. "All they knew about Indians is what they saw on television," Pinnecoosesaid. He described the reception the theater group received overseas as being very positive. "They lovedus. At every performance we got standing ovations," he said. "The powwow is a spectator sport,"Christina Jones, a Western political science major said, adding that it presents a true image oi NativeAmerican culture and breaks the stereotype. "Most of the stuff on television is a hoax, a HollywoodIndian," she said. Kathy Nahanee, from North Vancouver, described the powwow as a chance to set agood example to children. It teaches them spirituality, traditions and helps develop an interest in theirculture, she said. Her son, Wade Nahanee, 8, has been dancing for two years. "It's fun. I meet a lot ofdancers from (other) powwows (I've been to)," he said. Brandy Good Buffalo, from the Pacific WarDance Council, described the colorful two-day powwow as an opportunity for the local community to learn about Native American culture and Plains-style dancing.

The three were charged with 2nd-degree burglary and booked intothe Whatcom County Jail after police found eight discharged fire extinguishers in the building,Bellingham Police Lt. Don Miles said. The Bellingham police were called after a security officer foundone of the building's doors ajar shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday and, upon investigating, heard noises inside,Miles said. A police dog cornered one of the men in the building. The two others fled, Miles said, andwere caught outside the building. Damage was set at $400. Student and Human Resources ProgramCoordinator Linda Carr told the board "if we're going to have public events here, we should have places to serve smokers." Currently, students can smoke in the VU coffee shop until 8 p.m. on Monday throughThursday and until 4 p.m. on Fridays. There are also smoking areas in Miller and Artzen halls. Flemingsaid she is aware of only three students who have voiced objections on the decision to the board.Student Ginger Kendrick said smoking during lunch time has become more of an inconvenience forher since smoking was banned from the VU lounge. "Now I have to run across to Miller Hall during lunchto smoke," Kendrick said.

Parts for the prototype camefrom aMazda Cosmo. Wogulis also recommended an RX-4 for the project. All three courses required tobuild the car will be offered at night and on Saturdays, to allow students to work full-time during theweek, Wogulis said. Pielstick will be teaching a morning class but said he expects to spend most of his afternoons in the vehicle shop. Pielstick said it would not be possible to finish a car in the time allottedfor the classes. Practically speaking, most students probably won't finish their cars in the summer,Wogulis said. "There will be a few die-hards who will probably have theirs running halfway through, butmost people will probably just come out with a roller (a chassis with wheels which can be effectivelypushed but has no engine) at the end of the Parents Continued from page 1 summer," he said. Thosestudents could use their cars for VRI projects in future quarters and get them running then, he said.All necessary parts from the donor car should have been removed and cleaned before class begins thissummer. Students may bring parts to be modified to the VRFs shop ahead of time. Students will workon the cars in teams of two or more, he said. "It's really a two-person job. You really couldn't do it byyourself," he said. Wogulis described it as an assembly-line process in which the students completeeach step on first one car, then the other. The lab fee will include many of the supplies students will usein building the car, including the fiberglass from which the body will be made and the steel tubing fromwhich students will build the chassis. The driveline and most smaller parts will come from the donorcar. Unlike most Western students, who found Family Weekend to be an ample excuse to evade dininghalls and kitchens, Elana Borselli invited her parents and two brothers, also Western students, to herBimam Wood apartment for a home-cooked meal. "I made them spaghetti," she said. "That's all I knowhow to make." The Borsellis spent Saturday afternoon watching Elana score a goal at a lacrosse matchand her brother, Paul, perform a Kermit the Frog act during the evening's talent show. Borselli said sheenjoys having her parents visit. 'Tm sure they wonder what goes on up here," she said. Nash Hallparents were treated to a mock game show called "Newly Separated," loosely based on the "NewlywedGame." The show, planned solely by students, poked fun at generational differences. The question "How many times has your son or daughter gone up to Canada since being at Western?" got more than a few unexpected answers.

She added that she wasexcited about being at Nash for this year's weekend. The hall has a lot of first-year students, meaning alarger number of parents were involved in activities. Schwartz, who was an resident director at Gamma Hall last year, said older residents' parents don't usually come up for this weekend.

To the ear, his accented English â€” spoken with hesitant pauses â€” reveals his intriguing identity: Chris Pampakerides, afreshman, is a Greek Cypriot. His favorite place is Limassol, located in southern Cyprus in theMediterranean Sea. "It's my home. Limassol combines the beach with the mountains. It's like theplayground of the country. And all of my family is there. When I think of Limassol, I think of warmthand fun/' Pampakerides said. The city, second-largest in the island country, has a population of about150,000. His father, mother and two sisters live there. Pampakerides would still be home, too, if itweren't for the fact that Cyprus has no four-year universities. "That's why all of the people who want tostudy have to leave Cyprus. Most of them come back," he said, adding that he plans to return home.After completing high school, Pampakerides served two years in the compulsory all-male military. Oneweek after his discharge, he headed for Western. Leaving his home wasn't easy, he said. "It wassomething I got used to -sr this idea â€” because -I knew for years that if I "wanted to study I'd have toleave the country. I adjusted (to Bellingham) more quickly than I thought and I'm sure my friends here atthe dorm helped me to adjust," Pampakerides said. Cypriot students frequently attend colleges inGreece, England or the United States, Pampakerides said. He came to Western because his uncle lives in Vancouver, B.C. Pampakerides hopes to be a doctor. "That's my dream since I was a little kid," hesaid. Pampakerides never played with a toy doctor kit, but he's not worried about his future bedsidemanner, he said. He plans to transfer to the University of British Columbia (UBC) sol combines thebeach with the mountains. It's in Vancouver, after completing a pre-medicine program at Western. "I feel confident about my grades and I think I will get the grade point required to get into UBC. The classeshere are basic. Well, I'm a freshman, what do you expect? It's basic. I don't expect too muchspecialization," he said. Pampakerides said he sees simi-laritiesljetween Limassol and Bellingham. "I see Bellingham Bay, just at a glance. I feel like it's the same â€” the bay, the port. But if you lookclosely, j , , , â„¢ . : â€¢/â€¢. , - ^ l l l i l ! i i ^ Turkey â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ f t , . . Md illililHiiBHBIHllHi ) Egypt \ I Syria jrLebanon / fS^^y ) /Jordan/ (i~~^J you don't find the sandy beaches," Pampakerides said.Sandy beaches and warm, sunshiny days are plentiful in Cyprus. Pampakerides said he and hisfriends often hung out at the beach, where they played his favorite game of beach soccer. Castles,monasteries and other ruins are also plentiful on the island. About 6 miles west of Limassol is anancient city, Kingdon, that was destroyed by an earthquake 1,500 years ago. Modern dramas andShakespeare s plays are performed within the ancient- outdoor theater at Kingdon. "So while you arethere, watching, your imagination goes centuries back, thinking of the people that were there and what their civilization was like," Pampakerides said. An hour's drive takes one from the beach to the skislopes of the Troodos Mountains. Pampakerides said he's never skied there but often went to his father's home village in the mountains. Cypriots are friendly and generous, and their standard of living is veryhigh, Pampakerides said, with clothing, entertainment and food less expensive than here. If that soundslike a travel brochure it's probably because Pampakerides has had a lot of practice: the country'smain industry is tourism. "In tourism the Cypriots are professionals," he said. Pampakerides hopes tolead a tour group of 30-50 students in late August. He is looking for Western students to join him.Cyprus also exports agricultural products to European countries, and clothing and shoes to NorthAmerican countries, Pampakerides said. Limassol is the center of a wine-making region that produces the best of world famous wines, Pampakerides said. During an annual two-week festival the cityoverflows with people. "There are performances â€” great plays, bands coming from all over the world. It's free wine; you can drink as much as you want and watch the performances. And there are differenttypes of food, native to Cyprus. My favorite is souvlaki, pieces of pork meat cooked (skewered) oncharcoal," he said. The island of Cyprus is believed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Because of this, Cyprus is often called the Island of Aphrodite or the Island of Love.Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front Chris Pampakerides is a native of the "Island of Love," Cyprus. "Mostpeople think that because Cyprus is so close to Lebanon and Syria, there is much terrorism...we are not so close, but on the map it looks like that. We are not a terrorist area. It is peaceful," Pampakeridessaid. Because of its location in the Mediterranean, Cypriots have experienced frequent trading andconquering, Pampakerides said. The list of conquering countries sounds like a list of Who's Who inthe Old World: Assyria, Egypt, Persia, Arabia, England, Italy, Turkey and Great Britain. The islandcountry was part of the Roman Empire at one time and, from 1878 until 1960, an English colony. Thelatest invasion was in 1974, when the Turks successfully occupied 40 percent of the island andrenamed the territory the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Pampakerides said. The oldest knownsettlements on the island date from 7000 BC. "But those are very, very old and you see just the stonesoutlining where the houses and buildings were. The history of Cyprus is very exciting. You seeeverywhere old, ancient cities. Everyone who passed through Cyprus left their mark, theirarchitecture. (And there is) the landscape, the beach, the sun. "You go somewhere and see thehistory," Pampakerides said. "If you are in a place like here that has no history, then if you live in aplace like (Cyprus) and you see the ruins, the places where your ancestors lived, you feel proud that you are Greek. 1 am proud that my Greek ancestors had advanced civilization." Snazzy colors, big bucks in hair design Hair is, like, the most happening thing right now. We have big hair, little hair, long hair,short hair. There's curly hair that was once straight and straight hair that was once curly. We use gelmousse, spritz, glaze, hairspray, gelee and numerous (and sometimes unmentionable) things to givethat slick, wet look. Say you want your hair to match your eyes. No problem, dye it. What if you onlywant it to match a special outfit? Try a colored mousse or gel. They 're OK because they wash out.Want to look like a hip boy/girl of summer? Frostyour hair or highlight it. Forget lemon juice andsunshine. This is 1989, we use tanning beds and "Sun-in." Hmmm. Anybody besides me thinkAmericans spend too much time and money on their hair? A friend of mine, Frank Boochy of "Boo-Boo's Hair Supply Video" in Sumas, said the hair industry thinks so â€” and they love it. "Look,"he said."You can have a$400pairof shoes, butif your hair looks like hell, you look like hell. It's a matter ofpriorities," he said of the hair's re-emergence as a growth industry. Sounds like a nice idea, but I have to mention "priorities" just bought Boo-Boo a new Jaguar. Haircuts are no different. They've gone from thecarefree trim of childhood to multi-faceted productions. Remember when you were a kid and Mom would slap a mixing bowl on your head, grab the pruning shears and go for it? Sure, it didn't look so greatbut it was free. So what if she nicked your ear. Did it ever take more than Lighten Up Timothy K. KingHumor Writer a couple of stitches? Then there was the barber, this man with no sense of humor, whoyou went to because Mom didn't want to dull her garden tools. This is how it was for boys, anyway. Idon't know what girls did because the one time I went with my sisters to a "beauty school" (love thatname), I disliked it so much I ran outcrying before I could thoroughly scope the scene. All I know is oldwomen kept pinching my cheeks and the place stank like a Monster Perm. , Yuk. Any way, boys would wait for a man named Bob or Larry, try to sneak a look at the Playboy's stacked in the corner near the"Field and Stream" magazines, get a haircut, part with four bucks and still have enough money for asucker from the Tradewell next door. This was practical stuff. I mean, what is hair? It's protein. It's like a piece of chicken or a can of refried beans. Hair isn't even alive. But we forget this, and give our hair thegood care that we save for real important stuff. Like cars. In our priority-conscious world you (I think I'mnow speaking for both sexes) call your designer for an appointment, wait in a lobby, where thefurnishings cost more than your house and read a magazine that costs more than your last haircut,while someone named Fabrice fetches an espresso. Then, you undergo a rigorous shampoo/scalpmassage. Depending on who is doing the massaging, this can be the best or the most terrifying partof the adventure. Finally,, you get the cut. The stylist asks you, "so, what are we going to do today," like they really want you to think they care what you have to say. After a dollop of mousse and some fancyblower work, you fork over $20-$30 and head out into the mall to, like, buy some gel. Your hair looksgreat but your wallet is empty. Anybody notice in this priority- conscious world no Tradewells are tobe found and we're the only suckers? ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 25 - Page 6 ---------- April 25,1989 The Western Front Subliminal Criminals steal first place at Western Jam BradEllis/Western Front Dirty dancing by Michael Jackson (Travis Geving) and Little Orphan Annie (BradleyHutcheson) helps their five-member act capture the Jam title. Performers from Nash Hall win By DeannaOttavelli staff reporter The winner is... "BJ Snazzy 'G' the Subliminal Criminals!" Friday's eighth-annual Nash Hall-sponsored Western Jam competition was deemed a great success by the WesternJam committee. When the lights went out, the audience was treated to 12 different lip sync acts duringthe three-hour event. Eleven were representatives from on-campus halls and apartments. The twelfth was an opening act featuring the Nash Hall staff. From the 11 entries, the panel of five judges chose thetop three acts. Beta Hall performed "Respectfully Yours," a spoof of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and then "Pink Cadillac" in the finals. They took third place, and received $75, with one female and threemen dressed like women. Three girls danced their way to a second-place victory and $125 for BirnamWood, with "The Fresh Girls." Neon clothes and fancy footwork to pop/dance songs of yesteryear 0ikeToni Basil's "Hey Mickey,") and popular dance songs of today (like "Supersonic") were spliced together.Nash Hall's "BJ Snazzy 'G' the Subliminal Criminals" broke all of Western Jam's past molds. Withrules rewritten to allow more variety and creativity, the Criminals captured first place. Ken Kambich, Bill Ritchie, Chris Heck, Travis Geving, and Bradley Hutcheson, all freshmen, showed how to do a Jamright. Their act opened with Ritchie standing in front of a very large painting of an hourglass, completewith sand that sparkled. The beginning of the popular soap opera "Days of Our Lives" then began: "Likesand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives..." As Ritchie left the stage, Geving came ondressed all in white, looking like Michael Jackson. Carrying an umbrella, he began to sync "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." At this point, Hutcheson came out dressed in a red dress, white tights and a curly red/orange wig, impersonating Little Orphan Annie. The music changed to "The Sun Will ComeOut Tomor- ' row." Michael Jackson didn't seem to like it and the next thing the audience knew, Anniewas shot by the umbrella, and fell down. Dead? Perhaps. Kambich, Ritchie and Heck then comerunning on stage to Annie's aid, while Geving started syncing "Smooth Criminal" (AKA: Jackson's"Annie, Are You O.K.?"). Just as it looked as if there was no hope for Annie, Jackson seemed to change his mind about his feelings. As the three backups leave, Michael began pouring out his love for Annie, "I want to lay down next to you, I want to touch you..." This comes from the new Jackson video "Moon-walker." See Jam on page 7 Difficulties of women, minorities discussed By Doree Armstrong staffreporter More than 100 women and men attended the "Women in Higher Education: A Cross-CulturalApproach" conference last weekend, where they searched for solutions to the problems minorities and women face today. The conference was the brainchild of Rosa Del Carmen Bruno- Jofre, of theSchool of Education. "The intention (of the conference) was to analyze with honesty a lot of problemsminorities and women discuss," Bruno-Jofre said. She then wanted to come up with answers andrecommendations to deal with these issues. "Everything went perfectly, as planned," she said. "Thefeedback was very positive. The most important thing is the participants felt they grew." Theconference included many speakers from faculty, staff, the student body and invited guests from otheruniversities. Les Blackwell, of the School of Education, said of Western, "We want women andminorities, to provide a better atmosphere for learning." He said cultural diversity benefits students,and that teachers and administrators are here to help students. Luz Villarroel, coordinator of theMinority Achievement Program, said every university must create an environment where individuals ofevery race and culture feel they belong. Villarroel said racial harassment still is a problem on campus."Racial harassment can no longer be tolerated by those of us who experience it once a week."Susanna Hayes, an administrator in the psychology department, spoke about Native American collegewomen. "Who they are is very important to them, and from whom they came is even more important."She praised Lummi Community College as the first Indian community college in the state. "TheLummi nation has a commitment to education." Another segment of the population that needs to be brought into higher education is older people, said Alberta Clancy, a 75-year-old Western student. Itis important to retain this segment because, "Older people become role models and inspirations ... for young people," she said. She expressed concern for the seemingly slow attitude change towardwomen, minorities and older people. It has been getting better, she said, "But after three-quarters of acentury on this planet, I'm getting a little impatient." Student Laura Vance, who is coordinator of theWomen's Center and was co-coordinator of the conference, said, "The place of women in highereducation is evolving, it's changing. (It's) far from impossible." Saundra Taylor, vice-president for StudentAffairs, spoke on "what it's like to be in this community as a woman of color." She said gender and raceoverrides other things valued in an academic society, and that a woman of color encounters a"double whammy." A member of the audience, Karen Wilks, who has been a student at Western since1986, said, "Belling-ham is an interesting area. It's the only community that I've lived in where blacks are not the lowest on the totem pole. Native Americans are. INTERNATIONAL FILMS INDIA TUES. APRIL25 7:30 $2 LIBRARY PRES.

Who can blame a poor insect for seeking a relatively warm, dry place to live?Usually I capture (he critter in a jar and toss it outside, rather than smash it. But this spring'scarpenter ant infestation was too much. Those Sara Olason Science Writer big black ants crawledaround my sink, in my food and all over the furniture. When they sprouted wings, they drove me crazy,crashing into the lamphades and windows. So I called the exterminator, who quickly doused the ant nest with insecticides. But I wish there was another way to control pests like ants, aside from havingpesticides sprayed in my living quarters. I spoke to Doug Dix, of Huxley college, who is instructing acourse in integrated pest management this spring. B?M, as some call the course, combines judiciousspraying of pesticides with biological control measures, and a good dose of common sense. Dix saidresearchers have found a parasite that infects the ants, but it's not too effective against these wood-boring insects. The household cockroach isn't so lucky. Researchers have found a parasitic wasp thatcontrols the roach quite well, he said. The problem is mostpcople don't want to live with wasps, either,so they pick up the Raid can instead. Many farmers also believe "the only good bug is a dead bug," sothey use the quick fix of pesticide spraying, Dix said. But this method often turns into an arms race, with pests developing resistance to each new pesticide researchers brew up. The most celebrated hero in the history of biological control is probably the Australian vedalia beetle, imported to the United States in1889. Within a year, the beetle controlled the cottony cushion scale, which had created a deadly whiteblanket over California citrus groves. Weedy pests have also been targeted. Another Australian beetle,introduced in 1946, has munched down almost all the poisonous goatwecd that had overrun 2 millionacres of Northern California ranchlands. Bacterial sprays against Japanese beetles are also on themarket. Planting resistant crop species, timing when they sow crops and cleaning their plows betweenfields also helps farmers fight pests without pesticides, Dix said. But some situations simply requirepesticides, especially if the pest moves fast. Dix described a corn field in Georgia that was destroyedby a worm infestation. "On Monday, the corn was this high (about three feet). By Friday, it was gone,"he said. "They would have had to spray Tuesday. "If we went cold turkey (and stopped using pesticides)now," Dix said, "a lot of people would be starving."

For further information contact the Publications Business Office, CH 7, 676-3171Free Trade, new careers This year's crop of graduating students will be the first to face both theopportunities and the challenges, presented by the CJanada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Thislandmark agreement between the parties in the world's largest trading relationship, while hotly debated in Canada, seems of only passing interest to many Americans. Perhaps this is because the UnitedStates doesn't think it has as much at stake as Canada. After all, we're 10 times their size in terms ofgross national product. Three-quarters of Canada's exports come here, while we sell them only one-quarter of our exports. When viewed in these terms, it seems they have more to gain than we do interms of untapped markets. But think again: 70 percent of all U.S. and Canadian jobs are in the servicesector, and the FTA allows many kinds of service businesses to engage in free trade. Engineers,accountants, marketing consultants, landscapes, repair businesses and even collection agents cannow apply for Canadian professional and business licenses and set Carole Wiedmeyer BusinessWriter up offices in Canada. No longer needed is the tennis racket or set of golf clubs to justify crossingthe border. This has particular significance for people planning a career in the service sector inWashington State. Canadian trade commissioner Peter J. Fraser, in an April 11 article in the SeattlePost-Intelligencer, made some recommendations to Americans seeking to help take advantage of theagreement: â€¢ Take some time to see what Canada has to offer. Cross the border and see for yourself,or at least pick up the Vancouver Sun and other Canadian publications to get a feel -for the businessclimate. Visit the Vancouver Board of Trade and the WorldTrade Centre atCanadaPlace. â€¢ Startnetworking. Go to their conferences; contact their professional organizations. Make personal contactsin your field. â€¢ Help promote information-sharing about the agreement. (Fraser said few centersdevoted to education about the FTA exist yet.) â€¢ Read the FTA. It's not as overwhelming as youmight expect. It summarizes what you can and can't do under free trade. I found a copy at Western'sCenter for Economic and Business Research in Parks Hall. The government documents section ofWilson Library has a copy, too. While the agreement represents an opportunity to easily expandbusiness north of the border, it also will bring increased competition from Canadians setting up shophere. This is not a bad thing unless we fail to recognize the emerging need to compete with our neighbor to the north. A little knowledge now could pay off in the not-so-distant future.

It's definitely not ajingle Western's women's fastpitch softball team is singing after losing two doubleheader games over the weekend to Lower Columbia CommunityCollege. The first game of Sunday's twin-bill proved to be the most exciting of the weekend. With LowerColumbia leading 10-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Vikings fought back and scored five runsto narrow the margin to one run. The Vikes had the bases loaded, two outs and Leann Kelly at the plate. Kelly had already knocked in two runs on her three hits, but drama turned to disappointment as she hit a grounder to Lower Columbia's third baseman Tracy Norgard, who scooped the ball up and threw Kellyout. It was the end of the comeback attempt and the game. "That was the best and most exciting gameI've seen in a long time," Western Coach Marge Flink said. Unlike their previous game, the second game was a one-sided, 15-2 blow-out in favor of Lower Columbia. The Vikes appeared doomed from the openof the second game as Cabrina Bell hit a grand-slam home run in the first inning to help give LowerColumbia a quick 7-0 first-inning lead. Lower Columbia added five runs in the second inning and two more later in the game before the 10-run rule ended the game in the fifth inning. If one team is ahead by morethan 10 runs at the end of the fifth inning, the game is ended and the team which is leading is declaredthe winner. Western was leading Saturday' s first game 2-1 before Lower Columbia sent it into extrainnings with a run in the top of the sixth. Becky Trasalet tripled to score Norgaard from third base in thetop of eighth inning to take the lead before adding two more insurance runs in the Lower Columbia victory. In the second half of Saturday's double-header, two Viking errors helped contribute to five LowerColumbia runs in the third inning of Western's 7-2 loss. "The third inning, with the two errors, really hurtus mentally," Flink said. Western finished its season with losses in all 12 games. Five games that wererained out were not made up. "We accomplished getting a team, and letting the junior colleges knowthat we have a team," Flink said. She expects at least five players to transfer to Western next year,including two pitchers. Western will have all of its players returning for next year. "We'll have acompetitive team next season," Flink said. "Pitching was a problem but our defense was good allseason long." Ruggers lose Chuckanut Bay tops Warthogs By Rob Martin staff reporter The AS Rugby Club fell short in a hard-fought match with the Chuckanut Bay Geoducks Saturday on Amtzen field.The Geoducks, a team made up largely of Western alumnus, outscored the Warthogs 23-7, with themajority of their points coming in the last 10 minutes of the game. It appeared as if the Warthogs werein for a long afternoon, as Chuckanut took only a few minutes to pound its way down field for the firstscore. The Warthogs, however, retaliated by marching nearly the entire length of the field to recordtheir first three points off a kick by Steve Biggs. After the two quick scores, the game became a defense struggle, until just minutes before the half when the Geoducks scored again to up the halftime score to12-3. Chuckanut came out of the intermission on fire, scorching the Warthogs with a quick try andconversion of the point after attempt. A try is scored when a team controls the ball across theopposing team's goal line and is worth four points. The ball is then taken 20 yards out from the goal lineand a conversion kick is attempted. A conversion counts for two extra points. The 'Hogs mounted theirown impressive drive that culminated in their first try. The conversion failed, however, making the score16-7. With the momentum on their side, the Warthogs moved the ball downfield two more times, but only to be turned away just inches from the goal line. Minutes before the final whistle sounded, theGeoducks scored a try. "If we could have taken advantage of those last two opportunities, theoutcome of the game might have been different," Warthogs' Captain Aaron Davis said. "Overall, I felt weplayed a really tough, emotional and hard-hitting game," Davis said, adding, ' i t just came down to themore experienced and organized team." The only thing really hurting the Warthogs is the lack oforganization, Davis said. "We have the talent to win, now all we need is a coach." The future is lookingbright for the rugby team. "We are in a rebuilding stage," club Vice President Herb Reich said. "I'mreally excited about the level of talent on this team," Davis said.

Though minority enrollmenthas almost doubled in this decade, administrators are not satisfied with Western's current studentmixture and are trying harder than ever to ensure Western becomes the melting pot of their dreams. Butin the frenzy to lure minorities to this haven of acceptance and compassion, the idea of integration andblending has been pushed aside. Instead, minorities are constantly reminded of their differences byorganizations pledged to the idea of maintaining that difference. Those who ignore these differences maybe seen as selling out to white establishment culture. Such a system encourages lumping togetherindividuals and labeling them as minorities first. Any other qualities are secondary. Some of theadministration's projects ignore the possibility that they may be overcompensating; instead of a diverseand unified environment, they may be creating a segmented one. â€¢ rhe proposed Associated Studentsminority center, which would take the place of what is now the Grotto during Winter quarter next year, isexpected to provide a comfortable hangout for minorities and all students. Using the word "minority" might cause the "majority" to avoid the center. â€¢In an attempt to diversify residence halls, the Office ofResidence Life is searching the nation for eligible minority candidates to fill resident director positions.Apparently, many minority students are more comfortable living off campus, and don't have the twoquarters of on-campus living required to apply for the jobs. At last weekend's conference looking into theproblems of minorities and women in higher education, Luz Villarroel, Western's Minority AchievementProgram coordinator, said she envisions "a campus where an individual of any ethnic background cancome, feel welcome and leave enriched as a culturally-aware person." Villarroel suggested that Westernacclimatize minority students by having food services offer "culturally sensitive" foods, to supplementthe fare specially prepared for the typical white American student. She recommended administratorsrequire "sensitivity training" for students and staff, including cross-cultural workshops and facultyexchange with minority schools. Her ideas are admirable because they strive to put education beyondthe three Rs and into the realm of societal improvement. Although some minorities may need andappreciate the additional attention they get, others may be missing out on one of the purposes ofeducationâ€”self-enrichment and self-sufficiency learned by being in a foreign environment. This academic and social support should be offered to all students, not because of what they are, but because of whothey are.

Then I looked out the window and saw the busgoing by. "Never mind," I said and slammed out the door, looking at my watch. My watch told me thebus should have been there in one minute. So I walked the seven-tenths of a mile to school, which isn'tfar, but frustrating when I had only about 10 minutes to get to my class. I made it to class, and mywatch said I was five minutes late. The clock in the classroom said I was only three minutes late. But Istill got a dirty look from the prof. That was only one of the times that I have been dazzled by the inane-ness of time. The other day I was getting ready for work, and my watch said I had 10 minutes to getthere. I ran out the Vicki Stevens staff reporter ISH^HSIiii door, jumped in my car and went. I drovethrough a parking lot to avoid the traffic light. On the freeway I went as fast as my little Civic would go (70 mph), and I skidded into the parking lot. I looked at my watch. One minute to spare. I looked at theclock when I rani inside, and it said I had four minutes to spare. Some people would argue that one ortwo minutes are irrelevant to the grand scheme of this fanatical existence called life. I agree. BUT, since everything in our society does revolve around a clock, they should all be in sync. I propose we set aside a day, perhaps in August because no national holidays occur in that month, and make it a nationalSet-Your- Clock-For-Your-Time-Zone-Accord-ing- to-Greenwich-Mean-Time Day. We could all take theday off to set our clocks. It would be a major task for some, for example retail ^clock stores, but for most it would be relatively simple. We would just reset our watches, wall clocks, car clocks and alarmclocks. Then we would all be on the same timelength. Wouldn't that be great? No more dirty looks fromprofs, no more missed buses, no more lame excuses about being late for work. We'd all be so muchhappier. And we'd have another holiday â€” one less day to receive junk mail. Disenchanted by youth...Hoffman goes underground T he last radical is dead. Abbie Hoffman, 52, brash, witty hippie, the last ofthe great counter-culture leaders of the '60s to remain true to his ideals, washed down a few handfuls ofpills with a slug of liquor last week, and committed suicide in Pennsylvania. He left no suicide note, butfriends say he was frustrated by us, the youth of today. He felt he was no longer getting through.Perhaps that is because radicals like Hoffman, along with love beads, flower-print jeans and mop-tophaircuts, have become part of a past viewed with nostalgia by those who never lived it. Hoffman morethan lived it. He helped create much of the '60s counterculture of protest, long hair and drugs. He cuthis radical teeth marching with groups like the National Association for the Advancement of ColoredPeople in 1963, before there were such things as affirmative action or the unrestricted black vote. Hespoke out against the House Un- American Activities Committee, when to do so might mean beinglabelled a communist and possibly being blacklisted from employment. Later, Hoffman was jailedrepeatedly for civil disobedience. He was hounded and beaten by police. He was an organizer of thedisruption of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, for which he stood trial with six others in thehugely publicized Chicago Seven case. Now he is dead. Hoffman never sold out like other membersof the Seven. Radical colleague Jerry Rubin became a stockbroker. Black Panther leader BobbySeale left the scene and opened a barbecue restaurant. The others went their separate establishmentways. Hoffman went underground. Sought for drug offenses, he changed his name, and had plasticsurgery to change his appearance. But he never changed his ideals, and he never stopped fighting thosewho would abuse their power. In his autobiography, "Soon to be a Major Motion Picture," Hoffman said,"There are lots of secret rules by which power maintains itself. Only when you challenge it, force thecrisis, doyou discover the true nature of society." Hoffman challenged, and he never stoppedchallengingâ€”until last week. There is no Abbie Hoffman now, and there is no one like him to lead Hewill be missed. ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 25 - Page 11 ---------- The Western Front April 25,1989 11 Letters Abortion issue not cut-and-dry Editor, I dare say that MarkHines' column, "Cartoon belongs in dumpster," belongs in the same place to which he has relegatedBrian Prosser's April 14 editorial cartoon. Mr. Hines' obnoxious, self-righteous tone manifests hisobtuseness and general ignorance regarding not only the pro-life movement, but the entire issue ofabortion as well. According to Mr. Hines, "It's so easy to say, 'abortion is wrong, so let's outlaw it.'"Fortunately for the rest of us, things are not so cut-and-dry. Let us look at some rather disturbingfigures: Since Roe vs. Wade was passed, over 18 million abortions have taken placeâ€”that's morethan the population of Australia. Every year, 1.5 million babies are killed by abortion. For those whobelieve that every life, whether in its eighth week or 80th year, has a legal and moral right to exist,abortion is more than just a question of women's rightsâ€” it is a matter of human rights. The pro-lifeposition no more ignores the emotional trauma of an unwanted pregnancy than does the pro-choiceposition glorify the benefits of abortion. However, in light of the fact that abortions in the case of rape,incest or danger to the mother's life comprise only 5 percent of the total abortion rate in this country, weneed to think about another legal and moral questionâ€”that of the mother's responsibility to the livinghuman being dependent upon her for its very survival. Mary A. Lane freshman, undecided major Iscampus safe if Earth quakes? Editor, I recently heard that we all live in a high-risk earthquake zone. The Juan de Fuca subduction zone, I guess, lies sleeping right at our doorstep off Vancouver Island. And we are supposedly long overdue for a major earthquake that could cause major destruction to this area. If this information is correct, I wonder what chances of survival we students have should a majorearthquake strike this campus while we are studying dutifully on the upper floors of the library,attending classes in Arntzen 100 or sleeping peacefully in the cliff-side Ridgeway apartments? Dare webegin discussing such a morbid subject â€” to question our safety here? I dare somebody to help me.Let's use this newspaper, people, for something other than Christian complaint columns. Let's see some lively issues discussed here, starting with this earthquake business. Does anyone out there know thefacts? Dare you share them with us? Let's doit! Timothy Orr senior Editor's note: The Feb. 28 edition of the Front contained a lengthy story on the earthquake threat titled, "Quakes could crumble campus." Put year-stones in visible area Editor, While the change is being made to the sidewalk in front of OldMain, I suggest making a change in the layout of the marble year-stones. Instead of branching to thenorth (into the dark, gloomy end of campus), continue placing them toward Red Square and the rest of campus. At present to "walk through the years" of Western's existence one goes first to the right(facing Old Main) then backtracks and heads toward Old Edens Hall and backtracks again to get to therest of campus. It makes more common sense and adds a touch of smooth flowing order (an importantcomponent of our university and to the image it presents) to approach Old Main along the area wherealumni have had bricks placed, then turn right and naturally follow the years and the walkway to the restof the campus. Heading for the trees is something that birds do. Keep us out of the dark and leadourselves and visitors to the bright future ahead of Western.

Butmany in Washington were worried even before the 987-foot supertanker impaled itself on Blight Reef amonth ago, spilling approximately 10 million gallons of oil. For the creatures that thrive in and off of the seaâ€”people as well as animalsâ€”an oil spill may be the worst catastrophe "maginable. Two of an oilspill's most recognizable victims are sea otters and marine birds. "If you're a sea otter, for example, you've got this gooey stuff that just covers you, and you can't see, and you can't navigate, and if you tryto clean it off, you ingest the poison," Huxley College dean John Miles said. "Unless someone comesalong to help clean you off, you're going to die, and even then, it may be too late. Basically, if you getcovered in oil, you're a goner." State Department of Ecology spokesman Ron Holcomb said oil not onlyhurts birds' insulating and flying abilities, but, like sea mammals; they ingest toxins in the oil whenthey try to preen themselves. "Eventually they're going to be exhausted, and they're going to sink, or dieof exposure, the poisoning, or any combination o* those factors," he said. The state and federalgovernment have taken steps to reduce the chances of an oil spill in the Puget Sound. Federal lawprohibits tankers more than 125,000 tons deadweight, or carrying up to about 40 million gallons of oil,from entering Puget Sound. State law, however, requires tankers more than 40,000 tons deadweight tohave a tugboat escort when navigating through the island-dotted waters, Coast Guard Cmdr. MichaelHaucke said. Haucke said 339 tankers traveled through the Puget Sound from January through Marchthis year. In addition, the Coast Guard monitored 77 tankers that bypassed Washington to dock inVancouver, British Columbia. However, the number of tankers traveling through Puget Sound could soon increase greatly. In seven months the federal government will ask oil companies if they are interested inexploring off Washington and Oregon's coastlines. If the companies are interested, the Department ofthe Interior will begin moving toward auctioning off oil and natural gas leases in 1992. "I suppose myattitude would be one of extreme caution in regard to opening Washington coast to leasing or drilling,"Shannon Point Marine Center Director Steve Sulkin said. "Accidents are almost inevitable over a periodof time; I think we've all seen that illustrated. And anytime you've got drilling, and petroleum-producttraffic, you've got the potential for a spill," Sulkin, a Western faculty member, said. "Accidents arealmost inevitable over a period of time; I think we've all seen that illustrated." â€”Steve Sulkin Thefederal government advocates domestic oil production in an effort to become less dependent on foreign oil, said a Federal Minerals Management Service spokeswoman. She added the program may becanceled if oil companies show little interest in its proposal to auction oil and gas leases off theWashington and Oregon coasts in 1992. Dave McCraney of the state Fisheries Department called theprogram "unacceptable." He said the federal government failed to adequately consider theenvironmental impacts of such a program or balance the environment's needs against the needs of the economy. The federal government's plans never may come to fruition, though, because the state isseeking to whittle away at the potential drilling sites, said Ray Lasmanis, manager of the Department of Natural Resources geology and earth resources division. "Unless a political solution is forged back inCongress, we will be fighting the lease-sale until it's settled," he said. Two state-erected barriers thatthe Interior Department must hurdle are Washington's new national marine sanctuary, and a newly-created federal task force that recently recommended the treaty rights of coastal Indians be respected in the offshore drilling debate, McCraney said. McCraney, who has worked with the oil lease-sale issue for the last two years, said the push for the marine sanctuary in part, at least, stemmed from the lease-sale program. "It was certainly a motivation," he said. Although the sanctuary's area has yet to bedetermined, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is looking at an area thatencompasses more than 1,200 nauti' al miles. It would stretch from the state's northwestern tipsouthward to Point Grenville in the Quinault Indian Reservation, and westward for 12 miles, NOAAspokesman Frank Christhils said. The question of tribal interests is a significant one, he said.Washington is the only state with federally-guaranteed Indian fishing rights, and much of the â€¢tribes'interest stems from the potential impact of oil drilling on their fishing industry, McCraney said. Anothergroup following the offshore drilling issue is the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. Brian Dirks,of the NIFC, said his office is keeping abreast of developments in the Interior Department's offshoreleasiag program because it directly affects at least four of the MFC's tribes. The Quinault, the Hoh, theQuileute and the Makah, all coastal fishing tribes, have reservations nearest to any future offshoredrilling, and depend heavily on fishing for their livelihood. "The tribal approach is slow and cautious," hesaid. "They want to make sure the proposed drilling would pose no threat to the fisheries due to oilspills from drilling and transportation," he said. He also said the coastal Indians want to be sure that, if the interior department establishes offshore drilling, the location of the drilling platforms will not interferewith tribal fishing. "Not only for economic reasons are the tribes concerned about this issue, but forcultural ones as well," Dirks said, adding many tribes have their cultural heritage rooted in fishing.Although the state recently all but lost its court battle with the federal government to halt the leasingprogramâ€”"we lost 13 of the 14 points"â€”McCraney believes the state eventually will win out. "Myestimation is that the lease-sale is in real trouble, and probably will not proceed," he said. Thegovernment still must capture the oil companies' interest as well as decide which areas, in addition tothe sanctuary, it will withhold from consideration. "The federal government really needs to look at (usingoil economically) and to recognize the validity of energy conservation, instead of asking us to risk ourenvironmnent to pump out a few more gallons of oil," McCraney^ said.

Battle rages over p By Ellis Baker staff reporter Across the state of Washington, a battle rages in the forests and in thecourtrooms. The battleâ€”between the timber industry and citizen environmentalists^â€” centersaround the remaining 10 to 30 percent of the ancient forests that blanketed the Pacific Northwest just150 years ago. While virtually everyone agrees that some old-growth forests should be set aside for"non-consumptive" usesâ€”wildlife, recreation, aesthetic and cultural valuesâ€”few agree whetherproduction or preservation should come first. Environmentalists argue that old-growth is irreplaceable and that it provides habitat essential for many species of plants and wildlife, including the controversialnorthern spotted owl. Industry proponents argue that removal of "overmature" old-growth will lead to ahealthy young forest of the future, and that environmentalists use spotted owls as a ploy. In the middle of the controversy are the state and federal timberlands. Of 6.2 million acres of old growth on federallands in Washington and Oregon, about 374,000 acres have been designated spotted owl-management areas. But environmentalists claim this is not enough. They have successfully filed three-federalcourt suits to halt logging where spotted owls are found. In a major decision, Judge William Dwyer ofSeattle in mid- March temporarily restrained more than 135 timber sales in Washington and Oregon,pending review of the status of the spotted owl. Richard Whitmore, logging manager for Mount BakerPlywood of Bellingham, insists the owls are not in trouble. He urged an inventory of spotted owls inwilderness and other roadless areas before setting aside any more habitat. In 1973, he said, 220 pairs of owls were identified and 10 times as many in 1989. photo courtesy of Greg Mills Two nature lovers look at old growth near Noisy Creek. Environmentalists agree that a thorough inventory is required, but theyinsist old-growth constitutes the essential reservoir for spotted owl habitat and that the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service suppressed a scientific report recommending the owl be added to the federalendangered species list. Judge Thomas Zilly of Seattle has set May 1 as the deadline for the Fishand Wildlife Service to justify its 1987 decision not to list the owl. Zilly previously called the agencydecision "arbitrary and capricious." Whitmore sees the spotted owl issue as a smokescreen to blocklogging. He believes timber management and production provide important benefits. Michael Frome,Western's environmental journalist-in-residence, offered another viewpoint: "At the same time our naturalforests have been diminishing rapidly, other economic factors have affected the timber industry." It iscorporations who benefit most from selling raw logs to Japan, Korea and other countries, said Frome.The issue is further complicated within Washington by the sale of raw logs from state trust lands,which puts the interests of small mills at odds with the interests of state schools. State lands areadministered by the Department of Natural Resources to fund school construction. The result of thisimbalance, Frome said, is that "timber mills are feverishly shipping raw logs to Japai and elsewhere.While our mills here at home are scraping for leftovers, decks at Japanese mills are piled as high as Mt.Fuji, and those mills ara running round the clock." Environmentalists and small mil owners agree raw log exports are detrimental to the industry. "The sole reason our association was founded was to promotethe domestic manufacture of public timber. Of course we're opposed taM log exports. We have been forover 10 years," said Ted LaDoux, directo of forestry affairs for Northwest Independent ForestManufacturers, an association with about 50 members in western Washington.

"Recycling is the only way we're going to make it," said VeraHoffmann coordinator of Western's Environmental Center. "There is a trend toward recycling onlybecause there has to be." The United States leads the world in paper consumption per person and trailsfar behind in recycling, claims Earth Care, a Madison, Wis., organization composed of environmentaleducators and activists. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates Americans generateabout 3.5 pounds of garbage per person each day. Increased consumption and overpackagingcontributes to America's growing waste problem. With rising incomes, people consume more food, andthe growing demand for carry-out meals and single-serving foods leads to overpackaging. Finding a wayto safely dispose of all this garbage is becoming an increasing problem. Soil and groundwater suppliesare damaged when waste is dumped on land. When dumped in rivers and oceans, waste pollutes thewater and kills living things. When burned, waste pollutes the air we breathe. Western's RecycleCenter, located on 21st Street, is working to solve this problem. The center was started in 1971 by agroup of Huxley College students who lived on the premises. Now it is an Associated Studentsorganization, funded by Western students. Coordinator Jim Madison said the center processed morethan 95,000 tons of garbage last quarter aloneâ€”mainly paper, glass and aluminum cans. Most of thegarbage comes from campus, but some is dropped off by Bellingham residents. way we're going tomake -Vera Hoffmann Madison said a box can be found under almost every desk on campus for paperto be recycled. During the workday, workers from the center retrieve the boxes and blue plastic recycling barrels from every building on campus, including the residence halls. The contents are dumped into *trucks outside, where sorting by 15 student employeesâ€”11 men and four women begins. High-gradepaper, such as computer paper, is sorted from low-grade paper, such as mixed waste paper. Paper,newspapers, bottles and aluminum cans are all separated into huge cardboard boxes at the center.Bottles and aluminum cans are emptied, and the bottles are crushed by machine. (Forklifts are used onthe premises by employees to move the boxes.) After sorting, everything is delivered to a broker inBellingham, who pays the center. The broker is then responsible for having the garbage transported to processors. Paper is sent in bulk to pulp mills to be recycled into new paper. Crushed glass from thebottles is taken to Portland and aluminum cans are sent to aluminum plants, all to be recycled.Pollution plagues Pu lt; By Sara Britton staff reporter You don't have to go to Alaska to witness severewater pollution. Since 1951, when a federal government survey deemed Puget Sound the sixth mostpolluted area in the country, environmental danger has lurked in our own backyard.

Whitmore argues the industry has a right to natural resources if used wisely. Hesaid the Northwest's heritage of logging, of rural society, is endangered by environmental pressures;maintaining tradition is more important than preserving spotted owls,, he said. Frome agrees theNorthwest's timber industry isn't what it used to be, but he pointed to increased automation as thereason: "Mechanization in the woods and mills has taken away timber jobs that won't be restored nomatter how many trees are cut." All of these issuesâ€”old-growth logging, spotted owls, log exports, the changing timber industry and state funding for schoolsâ€”are key questions waiting to be resolved. Thetimber industry believes public policy decisions must recognize that natural resources serve publicneeds and uses. Environmentalists, on the other hand, believe forests are valuable for more than timber.Ancient forests, they say, represent biological, historical and aesthetic resources as well ascommodities. "The need to save ancient forests is more critical than ever," Frome said, "not simply ashabitat for the spotted owl or for the other old-growth- dependent species, but as a testament of thematurity of the human species." Sound and local bay Bellingham's Back Yardâ€”The Western FrontApril 25,1989 Huxley appeals to different interests By Mary Beth Neal staff reporter Western's HuxleyCollege of Environmental Studies is one of the few schools in the nation with a curriculum focused onenvironmental issues and problems. "We are often perceived as a place which does only science ...we're much broader than purely a science program," said Dean John Miles. Huxley prepares students for careers in environmental management and teaches students to "think systematically about problemsand problem-solving," Miles said. By providing students with a broad background in biology, ecologyand the social sciences, they'll have more experiences to draw from. "Many [Huxley students] aredrawn to what they do because they find it's socially meaningful," Miles said. Faculty and students ofHuxley are involved in research. Huxley has two research institutes; the Institute of Wildlife Toxicologyand the Institute for Watershed Studies. Students also use Shannon Point Marine Center as a researchfacility. Huxley has "close ties" to various environmental agencies such as the state Department ofEcology, federal Forest Service, Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Students often work on internships and thesis projects for the agencies, Miles said. These opportunities can lead to full-time employment for some. Many Huxley graduates have found jobs helping government or privateindustries meet environmental standards. Some work as journalists and photographers. Others formtheir own consulting companies, Miles said. Huxley has graduated about 1,200 students since it wasfounded in 1970. The student body has grown from 50-75 students to 180- 200 majors now. A Huxleyeducation is usually general, not specialized, Miles said. Those who plan to work their way up in thefield typically move to get advanced degrees. A Huxley masters degree program started in 1983 now has an enrollment of 30 students. Huxley also offers three general university requirement classes that many non-Huxley students take, and many non-majors take electives there. Students need a broad base inthe social sciences to understand the complexities of an environmental problem, Miles .said. Socialsciences are important for identifying a problem's sources and then determining how to implement thesolutions. He said politics, economics and ethics all play a role. "An environmental problem is 'described and defined by the sciences," Miles said, but society has to accept the solutions. arged and said. *uget ind 10- pthe ot spots. About 25 percent of the waste water discharged between Seattleand Tacoma still can be found circulating there six months later, the report said. The report did finddischarges of sewage and industrial wastes, as well as the use of leaded gasoline, coal, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), has decreased significantly in the last 50years. Although clean waterregulations have lessened levels of certain contaminants, the effects of pollution remaining in PugetSound may be irreversible. "We may be at a standstill," Webber said, noting many industries, includingGeorgia Pacific, already have state-of-the- art, pollution-reducing technology in place. The CentennialCommittee cautioned that careful regulation of waste disposal is especially necessary now as population increases. Durning said more than 50.00C new residents are coming to the Puget Sound area everyyear. Each person uses and pollutes about 100 gallons of water a day. Together they create an additional 1.8 billion gallons of sewage per year. The Department of Ecology recently released a plan to clean upBellingham Bay, which has been a lesser priority than the heavily industrial bays around Seattle andTacoma. In light of recent environmental accidents, Webber said, the public might finally be angryenough to support environmental protection measures. e habitat study dent is xr ;ned ts reek vy ted ;sult the is unlikely. "There's nothing that causes us any particular concern," he paid. Huckell-Weinman now must interpret the results and determine what action, if any, the Port must take to dealwith the situation. While Hager concerns himself with the impacts of human beings from the past, TimWahl, Bellingham Parks Planner, is preparing to deal with the expected tide of people in the near future.His job is to keep vehicles away from the lagoon, channel pedestrians to minimize their impact, andincrease the kinds and amount of vegetation to improve wildlife habitat. The project is slated to beconducted in two phases, the first to "stop encroachment" and the second for "fun." The entire projectis expected to cost $60,000. Phase I, to be completed this year, includes: â€¢ construction of bermsâ€” large mounds of soil â€” to provide a visual, sound and wind break on the west shore ofthe lagoon,â€¢ landscaping the 100-foot-wide strip along the west shore with habitat-enhancing plants, shrubs andnut- and fruit-bearing trees, â€¢ construction of a Harris Avenue sidewalk along the south shore, andâ€¢ landscaping the east shore to screen the view of the abandoned Chris Craft boat plant. ProposedPhase II plans include constructing an interpretive trail with lookout points and building protective islands to encourage roosting by Great Blue and Green Backed Herons. Specifics of Phase H depend on theresults of a study of the lagoon's existing condition. Wahl is concerned that old tree bark discarded bynearby mills may have settled on the bottom, creating a toxic layer that could be harmful if disturbed. He would like to see storm water runoff diverted from Padden Creek to the open water to reduce the lagoon's vulnerability to a chemical spill. Wahl said while some species of wildlife are bound to leave with thecoming of the ferry, habitat management can encourage animals to stick around.

Sun-Car: Florida or bust By Eric C. Evarts staffreporter Looking more like a kitchen table than an automobile, a solar-powered car built by Westernstudents was tested April 12 on the walkway in front of the Ross Technology building. Western's car is a prototype for another car the Vehicle Research Institute will build for a solar-car race the summer of1990. The race, sponsored by General Motors, will be from Florida's Disney World to Detroit, Mich.Western is one of 32 schools GM chose to compete in the event, a precursor to the World SolarChallenge in Australia in September. 1990. The prototype is based on the Viking 00 super-mileage car.The super-mileage car's body was removed, and students mounted a flat, 4-by-12 foot solar array on top of the car's tubular frame. This array, assembled by computer science major Richard Ingham, is whatpowers the car's 24-volt electric motor. The motor shaft spins against one of three bicycle tires on thesuper-mileage car. In the test-drive from the institute's shop to the walkway between Wright's Triangleand Environmental Studies, the car completed two lengths of the walkway before a rubber sleeve on themotor shaft slipped off. Yet the car still made the trip back to the shop under its own power. This is thefirst electric car the institute has built, said vehicle design student, Bill Lingenfelter. The students havebeen working on it since December, when GM announced the race. Ingham drove the car in the test,estimating it achieved six mph on the test run. Another student described it as "a slow jog." "Now we atleast have some idea what it's going to take (to compete)," Director Michael Seal said. Lingenfelter saidhe expects the final car will have to go 60 mph. Batteries will be on board as an alternative power source for when cloud cover prevents sufficient energy from reaching the solar array. Lingenfelter is in charge of the project. He will design the final car with the help of Seal and other students. Students from theelectronics and industrial design departments have helped with the project, as well as vehicle designstudents. Industrial Design professor Marvin Southcott has also provided a lot of know-how for theproject, Lingenfelter said. Western was awarded $5,000 for the development of the car at an awardsceremony at GM headquarters last week. The Department of Transportation donated an additional$2,000. Bill Yerkes, who works in solar research for the Boeing Co., donated the silicon solar cells topower the car through Arco Solar, said Lingenfelter. Lingenfelter said the department also will belooking for private donations to complete its design effort. Lingenfelter said he expects the race to takefive days, with cars covering 200-250 miles per day. Teams will be allowed to charge the batteries for two hours each night, and for two hours before the start each morning. Cars that don't finish a day's leg ofthe race could be towed to the checkpoint, but this would sacrifice valuable battery-charging time.Lingenfelter and Seal would not release any other technical details, for fear that other schools wouldcopy them. By Angela Reed staff reporter If contamination of groundwater isn't on people's minds,Huxley professor Richard Mayer says it should be. In Washington state, 75 percent of the populationget their drinking water from wells, which are rarely tested for contamination, said Mayer. Groundwateraccounts for 97 percent of the earth's fresh water, fresh water constitutes only 1 percent of the earth'stotal water supply, Mayer said. "We don't have a whole lot of fresh water on the planet; we might thinkwe do, but we don't." Groundwater is high-quality water found in deposits called aquifers, 10 to 100 feetbeneath the soil. An aquifer can underlie as much as an entire state, Mayer said. Contamination ofgroundwater is mainly caused by industrial waste and massive use of chemicals in agriculture,especially pesticides, Mayer said. If contaminated by a toxic substance such as an agricultural orindustrial pesticide, groundwater "Nature has a way of cleaning the air, but not the water." â€”DickMayer isn't fit for consumption by humans or animals or for agricultural use, he said. One suchpesticide, ethylene dibromide (EDB), was banned nationally in 1983 by the Environmental ProtectionAgency. Lab reports from experiments done on animals in 1970 proved EDB to be the most cancer-causing chemical known, Mayer said. Although no solid evidence exists that EDB affects people, thismay be because people take longer than animals to contract cancer, Mayer said. At least 20 wells inWhatcom County were found to contain EDB before it was banned. However, "most of the groundwaterin this county is uncontaminated and high-quality drinking water," he said. Most people in Bellinghamget their drinking water from Lake Whatcom after it is filtered and treated. Industries contaminategroundwater by dumping wastes onto the soil, or by drilling deep wells into the ground and injecting thewaste into the wells, which can then leak directly into the groundwater. In order to preventgroundwater contamination, "we all need to understand more about groundwater," Mayer said. Hebelieves incineration of waste may be the best solution. "It's wiser to burn things in an incinerator thanto bury them in the ground," he said. "Nature has a way of cleaning the air, but not the water." Although some people are concerned about incinerators causing air pollution, Mayer said he thinks incinerationcan be perfected. In addition to providing a safe method of waste disposal, incineration can generateelectric power. Another method of preventing groundwater contamination is to eliminate someagricultural pesticides that can permeate the soil quickly, Mayer said. Although alternative methods ofwaste disposal and agricultural pest control may be costly and time-consuming, Mayer believes thehigher cost paid for groundwater contamination is the loss of aquifers and public health. "I thinksociety has to reconsider the price tag and which way we should go," he said.

We observe "Smile Week," "Good English Week," and are sacrificing a week that would cause every week to be a good English Week filled with smiles if we neglect "Children's Book Week." For the past four years there has been a concerted effort to get before the public the necessity of proper books for boys and girls.

This is what Mr. Haeske thot as he jumped up, untied his tie, pulled off his coat and ran at the stage. He stubbed his toe, but was not phazed altho a sore shin resulted from it. "Everybody up, three rahs for the team." "Rah! rah! rah! team." Krazy Kat, of the comedies, would have taken a back seat on seeing Mr, Haeske's antics, but this wasn't all. The Freshmen, who love cute little men, voted (some maybe voted twice) and the results were posted in large round letters: Haeske, 293. Ryan, 191. Caulkins, 96. Tunstall, 39., Later some Freshmen were remarking about the results. A wise Sophomore came up and said, "Why all the celebration?" :;": . ••* Freshmen: "Mr. Haeske's well leader (Continued on Page Eight) THE BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE After an intermission of an entire year, The Business Girls' League was reorganized Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, by Miss Woodard. Any young woman who is working to defray expenses while in school is eligible to membership, be the earnings ever so small. The purpose of this worth-Avhile organization is three-fold: friendship, fun and efficiency—efficiency both as an earner and as a student. Since many a worthy student is working in this double capacity she does not find it practical to go in for the extra currieular activities which require evening meetings, and in order that the dean of women may keep informed concerning working conditions of the students, and in order that work and play and self-expression may preserve their - proper balance, the League was organized in 1916- 17. Practical proDlems of mutual interest are discussed, parliamentary procedure is observed, artistie talent is utilized and interesting get-together are (Continued on Page Eight) TO AS THE PRESIDENT OF S.

When crossing a street look first to the right and then to the left to be sure there are cars coming. If there are none in sight, dwacue along until some appear, else you will get no thrills. Walk boldly out in front of all cars (and Fords) and if they honk at you, go slower; for if they hit you, you can collect damages. The only time one should watch his step is when one is jay walking, for in this case, no damages can be collected.—MM.. A. . — — B . S. N. S— Brain: "What are you doing now?"

What do you think of the Choral club? The two numbers given in Wednesday's assembly were immensely enjoyed by the students. Those attending assembly Wednesday will vouch for Mr. Rahskopf. By turns he had his audience in pity for the poor client and in peals of laughter about her attorney. Come again! Those few but effective words from our President were gladly received. All students will appreciate the privilege of dancing and will respect his- wishes in regard to it. The moving pictures gave all present' a desire to visit Yellowstone Park, and Mr. Philippi may be. sure they were appreciated. —B. S, N. S.- Advertise. -We have noticed a good number of students in the last week who are assuming, or consuming, the real Bellingham air. When a newcomer begins to quizz you about a "good place to spend an enjoyable evening," first inquire as to what his preference be, wet or dry (no insinuation). If it should be the former, invite him to a plunge in one of the tanks. Mention the fact that we have churches as well as fine movie houses. Should you happen to have a by-tri-or motorcycle, sight-see some or all of our beauty spots and you might be surprised if you read the letter that new friend of yours writes home the day after.

T. — B. S. N. S. • SPORTSMANSHIP. American schools have been complimented upon the high type of sportsmanship which they show. How much of this tribute can we claim for ourselves? Football—Does such a rough and tumble game as this have any connection with good sportsmanship? Have you ever watched a heavy guard give the light quarterback a slug when he is down? If so, is that good sportsmanship? Perhaps he, the guard, is on the side for which you are rooting—how do you feci about it? If you feel as I do, you wonder why sue ha character was ever given a place on a team which, represents your school. How about the person next to you in au examination? Do you always find good sportsmanship in the classroom ? Many such instances come up at all times of the day and at all places. Where do we stand?—M. D. B. S. N. S - NOTICE! The Messenger staff wishes it announced that they are now "at home" to anyone who has an article, joke, story, or poem, he would like to see in print. . p.

We like our little Song Fests, Miss Belton! Especially those involving "The Spanish Cavalier" and "Jingle Bells." To be explicit, we feel 100% refreshed after those periods of musical exercise. B.S.N. S. NON FICTION. Chapters I, II, III and IV. Once upon a time there was a girl (or boy) who studied her (or his) lessons every day, and answered every question which the Pro-fesor asked. But this girl (or boy) must have graduated years and years ago— B. S. N. S.- Conclusion We have come to the conclusion that boys (and girls) are at present maintaining a different viewpoint on Educational matters. We have also satisfied ourselves that it takes a good bit of engi-neuity on the part of those boys or girls to escape a regretful climax, and entitle themselves to an honorable discharge from any educational institution.

B. S. N. S. LARGE NUMBER PEOPLE ATTEND THE RECEPTION JOHN R. WILLIAMS •It is estimated that about 1,600 townspeople attended the reception for Dr. and Mrs. Waldo at Edens Hall, last Friday evening. The receiving line, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Whitcomb, Dr. and Mrs. W. D. Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. N. Shakespear, and Dr. and Mrs. Waldo, was kept busy greeting the arrivals from eight until ten. Most of those who attended the reception were seeing the interior of the hall for. the first time and all were very favorably impressd with it. The drawing room, which was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and astors, received many favorable comments The guests also had an opportunity to view some of the other rooms, as a number were used as check rooms. The school orchestra entertained with a number of excellent selection during the evening. (Continued From Page One) The aim of the violin department is to give special attention to beginners, as well as advanced students. Courses of study similar to those used by leading-schools and teachers are followed. The individual need of each pupil is duly considered and an outline built to meet his personal requirements is carefully worked out. Special work in sight reading, memorizing and orchestra is required of all pupils who are sufficiently advanced. Training in orchestra work is given throughout the year free of charge and all pupils are urged to avail themselves of this opportunity of weekly rehearsals. Mr. Williams is head of the Williams Studios in the Exchange building, and director of the Williams' Orchestra, an organization of more than sixty members. He is a member of the State Music Committee for the certification of music teachers and is president of the local Music Teachers' association.

Three of our jolly crowd left us over the week-end for a good time. Twylla Rand had a long and most enjoyable trip to Earlington. She came back with a very heavy traveling bag, the contents of which were disclosed Monday night. Edna Paulson had a new and exhilarating experience over the week-end, bringing a young Chinese pheasant as a reward. The handsome bird is being-mounted and will soon be on display. Adeline Muzzy motored to Seattle in company with her aunt and cousin. She was fortunate in arriving in time for the opening night of the new gymnasium at Bryn Mawr. She reports that Seattle is as nice as ever. Belle Carkin had as guests from Pu-yallup, her brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Carol Carkin and little niece Lorraine and Private A. S. Kirkham, of Camp Lewis. Dorothy Dobbs, Martha Aven and Vivian Havens spent an enjoyable afternoon Sunday boating on Lake Whatcom. Monday evening we all assembled in the dining room and partook of the goodies one of our jolly members brought from home Home-baked beans, fried chicken and apple pie a la mode were on the bill of fare. Four husky Normalites assisted in the consumption of the feast. - - B. S. N. S. GEROLD HALL NOTES. Saturday afternoon Ozana Ardway, Florence Duver, Eugenia Gidian and Mary Snyder went to Whatcom Falls park for a weinie roast. After dinner the house president extracted eight cents from each house member. The collection was used in buying the "makings for fudge. The evening was spent in the kitchen making fudge and popping pop-corn. B. S. N. S. RAGAN HALL. The usual quiet pervailed at Ragan Hall this week-end. The occupants of rooms 5, 6 and 7 Avere at home. Eleanor Noel, spent the week-end at the home of Edith and Hazel Kenney, at Deming. A house meeting of a business nature was held by the president, Esther Benson, last Wednesday evning.

Edith K.: "0, George, come look at the sunset across: the bay. Looks just like water colors!" ENGER HALL NOTES. Last Thursday evening the girls, of the hall held an informal house meeting with the president, Lucille Ecker, presiding. They voted to have a Bible Study.class at the hal. A hiking committee was appointed with Mattie Vaughan as • chairman. The first hike is to be held Saturday. Lucille and Hazel Ecker went to their home in Lynden last week-end. Ruth Goetchal was pleasantly surprised Friday evening by a visit from her old roommate Murilla Burch, who is teaching at Hamilton. On Saturday Ruth Goetchal received a box containing many good things to eat including fried chicken. Saturday evening a few girls were invited to Ruth's room and a delicious spread was enjoyed. Monday afternoon Lucille and Hazel M. Ecker enjoyed a short visit with their sisters. Alma and Nellie, who have just returned from a six weeks' visit in Eastern points. A number of the Enger Hall girls had a sewing bee and fudge party Friday night. The girls enjoyed the fudge much better than they did the sewing. B. s. N: S. EDENS HALL. The third floor enjoyed the reception very much Friday night; especially the punch. The girls in room 321 gave a fudge party Saturday night and invited in several platonic . friends. The lights were lowered, the atmosphere grew appalling, spirits moved, and ghosts walked. Edna Frantz, Aina Anderson, Dorothy Smith, Alice Banbury, Agnes Gorze Ranckye, and Elena Graham hiked out to Lake Padden Sunday. The walk thru the woods was very beautiful. Jack Frost had been busy with his paint brush on the leaves. The girls brought back a sample of his artistic work. Don't get frightened when you pass through the corridor on the third floor if you hear a strange noise. It might be one of the following: Guinevere playing her Kazoo, Frieda practicing on her violin, Lorens trying to produce a spontaneous inflection of voice, Hildur telling stories, Ruth pounding the typewriter, Evelyn strumming on her uke, or the victrola sidetracked in a chorus from Tannhauser. - B . S. N. S. BEVER BREVITIES. Anita Reese was surprised last Sunday when her sister visited with her for a few moments. The call was brief but we still remember it by the apples, pears and candy she left behind. Friday evening we all enjoyed a late supper served by Pearl Baxter. Who wouldn't enjoy fried chicken ? Dagnmr Christie was a member of the party that hiked, between rides, to Mt. Vernon and back last aSturday. B. S. N. S.- Why Not a Skagit Club? Harken all ye Skagit-county-ites! Do you know how many there are of us ? Fiften from one town alone. Will some of you call for an organization? If you will kindly do so, we'll promise you the best club on the campus.

Miss Gardner has from time to time gone back to her Alma Mater to study; however, last summer she studied in Chicago. She has been in Bellingham since 1915. NORMAL FOOTBALL BOYS MEETS COLLEGE OF PS. The Blue and White gridiron gladiators left this morning at 10:20 to battle till death on the white chalk lines of the arena at Tacoma The College of Puget Sound has agreed to furnish the victims for the pay. This is the first game of the season for the Normal, and the local pigskin artists look forward to the battle with great delight. The Blue and White, under the careful tutelage of Prof. Samuel E. Carver, has developed into one of the greatest fighting machines the Normal has produced. The team has among its number such stars as "Hag" Gaasland, Don Clarke, Guy Bond, Boyd Staggs, Miller, Thomas, Hillier, Rairdon, Knowl-ton, Frank, Ford, Bowman, Hatley, Lind-stedt, Barber, Kepplinger, Bond, Davison and Tryggvi. This team embodies the greatest collection of hard headed football stars ever collected in this section of the country and it is these huskies that Normal expects to bring home the bacon.

A foreword is the reason for the writing of a book or article or in other words, a foreword is nothing but an excuse for the existence of said article. H there is no excuse to be given, what is one to do? But now I assume a stately attitude, thrust forward my pugnacious jaw, and with a steedy glint in my eye (I mean, in both eyes) I say, in the words of the poet, "Excuse or no excuse, it shall be done!" And so, witn-out further delay I set about my task and, lo! it is accomplished. Now wasn't that easy? . . "But," I hear you murmer, "What is it all about?"

Hereafter, when your mental machinery, willingly or unwillingly, grinds out an idea, do not, I p.ead with you, 0 do not, resort to the use of that most inefficiently extravagant and most unappreciative of all instruments, the waste basket.

The moving of flower-bedecked coffins; moans and sobs of the old members, and sad farewells of the new ones, mingled with the gentle flow of tears from watery eyes, were the only sounds which echoed thru the corridors of Normal last Thursday evening when the Thespians held their first meeting. Funeral ceremonies were performed by Bob Caulkins, assisted by Bill Benson and Virgil Peringer, .Sam Ford acting as pall bearers much to his delight—such was the initiation of new members. After the sad victims had been laid •away, to overcome their grief and flowing eyes, the survivors, pursued a game of baseball. The heaviest heart could not but be lightened when gazing upon Professor Rahskopf, tearing from base to base under the unmerciful gaze of the umpire, Mr. Kolstad. At the announcement of "cafeteria," the dead all recovered. A toast to Tlies-pians was very dramatically given while its members were tragically overcome by a beverage of salt, vinegar and lemons. Mr. Kolstad beautifully sang a group of late songs. His vocal powers are wonderful and show a great chance for improvement. Melba Hinds acted as chairman of the business meeting. The following officers were elected: President Bob Caulkins Vice-President Helen Goke Secretary Violet Miteham Treasurer Peggy Stovell Reporter Madeline Temple Sgt.-at-Arms Dewey Bowman With such persons in its midst as Mr. Raskopf, Mr. Bever and Miss Belton the club can't help but be a great success.

NEW RULES ARE SET ON RECREATION BY THE COMMITTEE (Continued From Page One) Come, let us play together. Recreation Hour to be regularly observed Therefore, we, the students of the Bellingham State Normal School in recognition of the dancing privilege given us, wish to set the following standards. We recommend the posture upheld by the National Dancing Teachers' Association. The following posture will not be tolerated: 1. Cheek to cheek dancing. 2. Girl's left arm placed under man's right. 3. Either arm of gentleman or lady on the neck of partner. The following dances will not be permitted : 1. Shimmy dancing in any form. 2. Camel walk. 3. Frisco, and any other forms of improper dancing. Robert Tunstall, chairman; Peggy Stovel, Albertina Pearson, Edna Franklin, Angus L. Bowmer, Sloane Squire, Clara Burton. This committee will have charge of the recreation hour from four to five, friday afternoon. Suggestion from both students and faculty Avill be welcomed. Cut this article out and save it for future reference. The Bellingham State Normal school should stand for the best in everything, because through alumni and other students, it reaches the majority of the people in Washington. In the past this influence has been exerted largely thru the school. Now we are attempting to train students more definitely for leadership in outside communities. If leadership is ,to be worthy of the name, the leader must stand for the highest ideals. The social hour and the more formal school parties are for relaxation and fun, to a great extent, but they will have failed if students do not go away with higher standards regarding amusement. B. S.

That's what we like." The Sophomore uttered a mournful "Ooooh!" and walked off. B. S. N. S.: ARCHIE THOMAS TO RESIGN AS THE PRESIDENT OF S. A. (Continued From Page One) school life. Helen Goke, vice president, will automatically become president. She will immediately resign. The pendulum thrown into the midst of our peaceful will swing again, showing Helen High-tower, secretary and treasurer of the Students Association, into the president's chair. But as a leaf stops for a moment as it is being rushed hither and thither by the wind so Miss Hightower will stop but for a moment in the presidential chair, and then her resignation as president of the Students' Association will become effective. Point System Inaugurated. Such is what is likely to happen at the Board of Control meeting Monday, say political, wiseacres, and all because of the inauguaration of the point system by the faculty several months ago. Archie Thomas Exceds Points. According to a report from Prof. Arthur Kolstad, chairman of the point system committee, President Archie Thomas, one of the most active and popular students of the Normal, has exceeded the number of points he may carry by quite a large amount, and so his anticipated resignation from the presidency, a fifteen point job. Others Ineligible. The report further states that Helen Goke is also overburdened with points resulting in her inability to take the presidential yoke. Helen Hightower is also surfeited with points and so she is unable to fill the presidential shoes. Pearson and Ingersoll Eligible. The two remaining members of the Board of Control, Albertina Pearson and Oliver R. Ingersoll, are both eligible to hold office and it is rumored that one of them will be elected secretary and treasurer, and the other president. As a result of this shake-up in the association, there will probably be one vacancy on the Board of Control to be filled. Sam Ford's Name Mentioned. As to who will fill the vacancy is a matter of conjecture, but the name, of Sam Ford has been mentioned by members of the Board of Control. Sam Ford is a footbal star and a laeder in student activities. B. S. N. S. MISS McETHENEY WEDS WHILE IN TENNESSEE Misss Pearl Emily McEtheney, of Blaine, who is a graduate of the Normal, and Mr. Wilber Ray Byers, of Ferndale, were married last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Prettyman, 1910 Harris avenue. Rev. James M. Wilson performed, the ceremony. The bride wore a dark brown canton crepe, while her matron of honor, Mrs. John P. Byers, wore black taffeta trimmed in pea green self material. The groom was attended by Mr. 'John P. Byers. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served to eight of the intimate friends of the couple. Mrs. Byers, nee McEtheny, has taught at Birch Bay for the past several years. After a motor trip to Portland and Eastern Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Byers make their home near Ferndale. B. S. N. S. NOTICE! To those who have been anxiously awaiting the results of the Mixer Contest— (To Be Continued.) TO OBSERVE THE CHILDREN'S BOOR WEEK, NOV. 12TH (Continued From Page One) The Boy Scouts of America. Hundreds of schools also take part, giving programs,,, distributing book lists, arid conducting contests. In fact, every possible effort is being made to arouse interest among the teachers and parents in the welfare of the child's education in connection with the books he reads. Juvenile Library Important. We not only have one week designated as "Children's Book Week" but devote the entire' year to it, as we possess a Juvenile Library containing every type of children's books. This library is administered by five student librarians who are displaying unusual talent in introducing books to the pupils. and to student teachers. The Juvenile Library, is a "book- laboratory" for the use of student, teachers. Any book on special display at present and during "Children's Week" may be borrowed by them as well as by pupils. Librarian Exposes Secret. The librarian is going to expose a secret that several of the heads of departments , have told her—and that is "A large percent of our students are not acquainted with children's classics." Any teacher failing to inspire her pupils, no matter what her subject, to read uplifting books, may consider herself a failure. What we nede, and must have is co-operation in the circulation of children's books. More good children's books must be sent into the homes. —THE— ( MAPLE LEAF Bellingham Natl. Bank Bldg.

Tuesday, January 18,1983 IRPC proposes to shrink WesternAx Fairhaven, cut Huxley, review committee suggests By Elayne Anderson The Instructional ProgramReview Committee's proposal calling for the elimination of Fairhaven College can't legally beimplemented said Dean Dan Lamer. The committee's report, released Friday, recommends that by next fall Fairhaven be eliminated and Huxley College merge with the Department of Geography and RegionalPlanning, to form the Department of Environmental Studies within the College of Arts and Sciences.Larner said that "Fairhaven will continue to be alive and well and will continue to provide outstandingprograms." Because faculty is tenured "it is virtually impossible to close Fairhaven for legal andcontractual reasons. "If the recommendations of the committee cannot be imple-' mented by the fall of1983," Larner said, "the committee must accept responsibility for the enormous damage that word oftheir recommendations is likely to do to the university." Western's reputation largely depends onFairhaven and Huxley, Larner said. "If you look at the recommendations as a whole, they return theuniversity to a structure indistinguishable from any other in the state and country." Huxley Dean J.Richard Mayer described the reduction of the college as a "mistake." "The environmental studies has to have a certain amount of autonomy and flexibility," Mayer said. "I don't think we can do that as a minorelement." But Mayer also said he didn't consider the demotion of Huxley as a disaster. "The mostimportant characteristic of the report," he said, "is the environmental studies program is to continue.That is gratifying." â€¢Mayer said he is working on a proposal to combine Huxley with three or four other departments to establish a new college of environmental studies. One of the departments Mayer saidhe is considering for a WSL agrees on nine-point package 15y Gordon Weeks A nine-point packageadopted by the Washington Student Lobby supports the elimination of a credit lid, urges legislators toraise the level of state need grants and opposes tuition increases in the next biennium. The document,completecLSunday, officially will be released tomorrow at a press conference in Olympia. "Thepackage gives us a specific direction," Associated Students President MarkMu'rphy said."It tells thelegislators exactly how we stand on these (higher education) issues coming up." â€¢ The package "tiesthings together" for the WSL, saidXJarcy Roenfeldt, chairwoman of Western's chapter. , "It gives usidentity and a focal point," she said. "It-answers some of the concerns of those in the helm trying to dealwith legislation." In the document the WSL: â€¢ supports legislation to eliminate recently implementedfees charged for each credit over 18. â€¢ "supports the commitment made in the Governor's budgetproposal to restore funding to higher education." â€¢â€¢â€¢ "opposes tuition increases in the. nextbiennium." â€¢ opposes1 any transfer of tuition-setting authority to Boards of Regents or Trustees. â€¢"opposes allowing boards of regents or trustees the authority to impose surcharges or university fees inaddition to regular tuition and fees, as described in the Governor's proposal." â€¢ "urges the legislature to raise the level of state need grants to parity with comparable states." â€¢ "supports legislation for theinclusion of a 'grandfather clause' to exempt students that are currently enrolled with residency statusfrom the newly established residency requirements." â€¢ "supports legislation that provides for the re-establishment of exemptions for non-resident tuition and fees for military personnel stationed inWashington and their spouse and dependent children," â€¢ "urges increased salaries for research andteaching assistants what match any increases in educational costs, inflation and the cost of living." -The WSL Board, including Murphy and Roenfeldt, began with a draft platform, checked the legislativeagenda and came up with statements on the higher education issues coming up in the session, Murphysaid. Both Murphy and Roenfeldt said last weekend's meetings were positive for the organization."There was a lot of cooperation and we squeezed a document out," Roenfeldt said. The legislativepackage still is being polished, she added. "We want to make it flexible, so that year to year people canwork with it," she said. "On the other hand, we want it to be strongâ€”to be strongly worded. We found abalance." Students at each of the universities will research and write views on each statement. The WSLBoard meets Feb. 3 to try to agree on single stance for each issue.":"'- Trim eleven departments andenhance four, committee says Dan Larner Dean of Fairhaven College merger into a new college is theDepartment of Geography, and Regional Planning. He said he couldn't name the other departmentsbeing considered because he has not yet discussed the proposal with the departments' chairmen.Three other departmentsâ€” office administration/business education, interdisciplinary arts and dancehave been proposed for closure by the committee. Chairmen of these departments were unavailablefor'comment. Hearings on the committee's report, which includes reduction, of faculty in 11 departments, the School of Education and increasing faculty of four departments, will begin Thursday. Thehearings will offer students and faculty a chance to voice their opinions on the report. Fairhavenstudents and faculty will meet at 2 p.m. today in the Fairhaven auditorium to discuss the proposedelimination of the college. By Elayne Anderson Fairhaven College will be eliminated by fall quarter and Huxley college will be reduced to department status if the recommendations of Western'sInstructional Program Review Committee pass. The recommendations were part of a report, whichalso calls for the elimination of three departments, the reduction of 11 and enhancement of 4 by fallquarter. Assuming a nine percent enrollment drop for next year, the committee proposes a 10 percent drop in full-time equivalent faculty. If the report is adopted, Fairhaven no longer will exist and Huxley will merge with the department of geography and regional planning and be renamed the departmentof environmental studies within the College of Arts and Sciences. A Jan. 5 memo to deans anddepartment heads from Paul Ford, vice president of Academic Affairs, stated that changes in the fall of1983 will be "relatively minor." When asked about the_memo, Ford said he did not recall sendingsuch a statement. The report cites high cost and declining enrollment for the proposed closing ofFairhaven. The same reasons were used in the decision to reduce Huxley to a department, although thereport states the committee also thought that since some Huxley subjects are offered through otherdepartments, it is unnecessary to retain Huxley as a separate college. The long-awaited report alsohit other departments. Also recommended for elimination is the office administration/businesseducation department because of the small number of graduates it produced last year. Thetheatre/dance department was split for the committee's purposes, the report states. Therecommendation is to eliminate dance, except for lower level classes, with the proposal that they betaught by the physical education department. A proposal to reduce the School of Education, fromwhich Western bloomed, from 42 to 34 full-time equivalent faculty was included in the report. The11 departments suggested by the committee to be reduced in faculty next fall are: biology, chemistry,communications (jour- . nalism and speech), foreign languages and literature, geography and regionalplanning, history, philosophy, physics/astronomy, political science, psychology, sociology and art. Amerger of the speech and journalism departments was proposed by the committee; however, thetwo departments have already set the union in motion. The report heralds good news for fourdepartments. Suggested for an increase of faculty are the mathematics/computer science, accounting,business administration and technology departments. The committee began its work last October atthe request of the Board of Trustees in the face of legislative budget cuts to higher education anddeclining enrollment.

At 4 p.m.Jan. 13, faculty from the Office of Student Life, Office of University Residence, vice-president of StudentAffairs, Thomas Quinlan, some residents of the dorm and President Robert Ross yelled "surprise" toMathes. About 125 people attended the event. Ron Travenick, Mathes' Resident Director, gave a briefhistory of the dorm. Keith Guy, director of Residence Life, opened the gift for Mathesâ€”a large calendar. Cake and punch were served while scrapbooks from previous years passed around the room. By Peggy Loetterle A bill calling for males aged 18 to 22 to provide proof of draft registration as a condition ofcollege admission is receiving little support in Olympia, said state senator H.A. "Barney'' Goltz (D-Bellingham). The bill, proposed by Gene Struthers (R-Walla Walla), is designed to "ensure that the priv-. ilege of a state-supported higher education goes to those who carry out their legal obligations to thiscountry by registering with the selective service." Responsibility for carrying out the legislation would fall to boards of trustees and regents. Associated Students President Mark Murphy called theproposal "absurd" and said it was unlikely the proposal would get past committee hearings. StateRepresentative Struthers could not be reached for comment. State Senator H.A. "Barney" Goltzdenounced the measure. "I don't think it's up to the state to police federal laws. I would never support it," he said. "It would be as foolish to do that as to deny state services to businesses who don't pay theirtaxes on time." The argument behind the proposal, Goltz said, was "unless one is willing to defend their country" they should not receive a state-supported college education. "It simply isn't a relevant issue, "he said. In other legislative news, the House Higher Education Committee prepared a "proposedpriority list," said Associated Vice President for External Affairs Leonard Brevik The "priority"list consists of: â€¢ determining state contribution to financial aid programs. â€¢ economic development for higher education involving high technology programs. â€¢ review of tuition and fees. The list also includes areview of the Council for Post-Secondary Education's six-year plan that calls for, among other things, acontroversial "stratified admissions policy." Lake Whatcom flood destroys faculty homes By KarenMcCrackin People come together in times of crisisâ€”or so the saying goes. It's an idea some physicaleducation students seem to take seriously, volunteering their time and labor to help two Westernphysical education instructors pick up after last Monday's flood at Lake Whatcom left them stranded.The lives of Chappelle Arnett, chairman of the physical education department, and Margaret Aitken,also of the department, have been changed since mud and logs pushed down Olsen and Smith Creeksand invaded their homes. Loren Webb, of the speech pathology/audiology department, and Arnett'shomes are separated by Smith Creek Both have lost their homes to Lake Whatcom. Aitken said sheestimates it will cost $10,000 to repair her damaged property, but her house still stands. Webb wasunavailable for comment. Mud and logs are strewn everywhere along North Shore road, where thethree faculty live, even after almost a week of cleanup. To a first-time observer, it looks like the damburst only yesterday. Damage is extensive. When a log jam above Smith Creek broke loose during theheavy storm last week logs and mud easily collapsed Arnett's home, leaving only an upstairs bedroomand the fireplace hearth. Fortunately, Arnett said, she was awake and aware that the creek was gettingvery high that early morning. At 2:30 a.m. Arnett dressed and by 4 a.m. was calling neighbors to warnthem of the danger.."It seemed like this was a time that all heck could break loose." When she saw alog with a 30- foot base sweep by her house, she knew it was time to leave., She grabbed her dog andfought the mud, silt and logs to get to higher ground. "I had water and silt ahead of me, and with treescracking and power lines all around, you just think you're never going to make it," Arnett recalled. Onceon higher ground, Arnett ran to make sure that her neighbors' lights were on. If she saw none, she'dyell to make sure they woke up. Five minutes after she left her house, the log jam above the creek gaveway, releasing tons of logs, mud and silt to rush down the hill toward her house and into Lake Whatcom. Her house was destroyed. "The logs built up over the years because of logging practices and such,"Arnett said. "When they go, they go. It was the worst I've ever seen!" Photo by Blair Kooistra MikeDubuc, left, and Brian Ellestad, Western students, aid in clean-up efforts at Margaret Aitken's home onLake Whatcom. Aitken's home sustained $10,000 in damages from last week's flood. Saturday, divers,tied to a house for safety, began bringing items up from Arnett's house, including some furniture, kit-chenware and heirloom silver. Blake Surnia, who lived in the house over last Christmas vacation,directed the divers to valuables. "This used to be a nice house at one time," he said. "There's a caseof champagne down there. Whoever finds it can. keep it!" Arnett said.. "At least it'll be chilled," one diver joked. Aitken now is living at home, her phone hooked up again, but it will be a while until her life will be back to normal. With no flood insurance, she expects to have to absorb the costs of the flood byherself. "I hope I never have to go through another one," she said. Arnett has flood insurance and iscurrently waiting for damage estimates. But unlike Aitken, she has no plans of returning. She said thatafter the ordeal she's "not thrilled with living there anymore." Hoping for some aid from the county orgovernment, by being declared a disaster area, the residents meanwhile are slowly cleaning up whatthey can, wondering who will clean up what they can't, Arnett said. But it could have been worse. "I'mjust lucky and thankful to be alive," Arnett said. Down the road a bit and next to Olsen Creek Aitkenfared a little betterâ€”she still has her house although she did lose her shed and her car was destroyed.Saturday, students slowly removed logs from her property and cleaned mud and woodchips from thefirst floor. She said she, too, was up most of that morning worrying about the rising creek and the wateralready running into her house. She received a phone call from Arnett, warning her. Aitken said she hung up and heard what sounded like lumber being tossed by her neighbor. Wondering why he was makingsuch noise at that hour, she opened her front door. Mud flooded in. Fearing her house would be sweptaway, she ran out the back door. Her house stood. But instead, she was swept away as she crossedher yard. With logs and mud Aitken was carried into Lake Whatcom, Photo by Blair Kooistra Clean-upworkers set cables to drag logs and slash from under the Olsen Creek bridge on Lake Whatcom's NorthShore Drive; The old creek bed is filled with branches, logs, stumps and mud, as evidenced from thisphoto from atop the bridge. where she somehow ducked under logs until she was clear of danger.Unaware of the coldness of the water, Aitken said she sat on a log offshore for about 20 minutes untilshe thought it was safe to swim to shore. Saturday she looked around her mud-soaked, barren yard. "Ihad apple trees planted there. I thought it was neat to have something that gave food like that." Thenshe was off to hang "keep out" signs on her shed resting a few houses down the lake's shoreline.Students have worked since Wednesday at both Aitken's and Arnett's trying to save what belongingsthey can. "The students have really been great," Aitken said. ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 18, 1983 Western Front 3 Health fee being reconsidered IPRC recommends cuts inliberal arts By Shelley McKedy Western students may pay an extra $5 along with their tuition springquarter. Reimplementing a Student Services fee, like the one students paid last fall, is being considered, said Thomas Quinlan, vice-president for Student Affairs. Last summer Western's admin-, istrationsought a way to cut $1.5 million due to the university's ailing budget, Associated Students PresidentMark Murphy said. As a result, a $5 health service fee was adopted by the Board of Trustees as anemergency measure for fall quarter only, Murphy said. This effort was to avoid reductions in variousstudent services, Murphy said, including the Counseling Center, Career Planning and PlacementCenter, Student Employment and Financial Aid. Despite the $5 fee last fall, these programs as wellas others have undergone severe budget cuts, Quinlan said. Seeing no other option in continuedefforts for sparing the programs, Quinlan said he plans to propose the Student Services fee again nextmonth. During the winter quarter registration, an unspecified number of students were accidentallycharged the $5 service fee, a mistake resulting from computer problems, Murphy said. All studentswho were overcharged have been refunded, he said. The Trustees will take final action on the matter inmid- February, Quinlan said.

STATE ST. ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 4 ---------- Opinion Tuesday, January 18, 1983 4 The Front Line Closure hurts identity Eliminate Fairhaven College,reduce the faculty in the liberal arts and increase the instructional staff in technology, business andmath/computer scienceâ€”that's Jiow the Instructional Program Review Committee says Western shouldanticipate budget cuts and expected enrollment declines. The committee's recommendationsâ€”andthat's all they areâ€”will please some faculty and students while angering others. In some instances,such as the recommended closure of Fairhaven, the anger will be justified. Closing Fairhaven woulddeprive Western of a non-traditional, more individual-oriented approach to the liberal arts. Its closurewould deny the university a valuable program, a valuable faculty and a valuable kind of student. Closure of Fairhaven, further, would hurt Western's identity, destroying one of the traits that distinguishes thisuniversity from others. If this university closes Fairhaven or drops any other program, it should allowcurrent majors to earn their degrees, No, Western isn't legally required to do that. But it clearly has amoral obligation. The Instructional Program Review Committee was realistic in recommending facultybe increased in the technology, business and math/computer science departments. Student andindustrial demand calls for growth in those areas. And many students haven't been able to enroll invocational programs because of the lack of sufficient faculty. But let's not turn Western entirely into avocational school. This university always has been strong in the liberal arts. That tradition must continue.Society needs those who can discover and express ideas just as much as it depends on those who candesign, calculate and manufacture. Because of low enrollment the committee recommended danceclasses be transferred to the physical education department from the theatre/dance department. We goalong with that suggestion, provided the university doesn't drop dance courses and provided Westernremembers dance isn't just another form of aerobic fitness. Dance is artâ€”it is literally visual music. Weagree that faculty can be reduced where enrollment has declined and programs are costly. Fortunately,the committee clearly explained its justifications for the proposals, but its report lacks specific figureson enrollment and cost. â€¢ Western has begun preparing to shrink. Recommendations, good andbad, had to be made. Now however, students and faculty shouldn't hesitate to critisize the proposals.Hearings begin soon. No one can afford not to express his views. The strength to love Martin Luther King found the strength to transform his values into actions and thus change this country. He found thestrength to love. The Baptist minister is best remembered for his impact on the civil rights movement ofthe '60s. But it is his statements on the Vietnam war that cause some i ^ S *j congressmen to block abill that would make Martin Luther King's birthday, Jan. 15, a national holiday. King said the church hadan obligation to separate itself from the country's "disgraceful commitment'1 in Vietnam. For hisstand against the war, King's opponents viciously accused him of being a "pink pacifist" who wascontrolled by the U.S.S.R. This kind of mentality again surfaces when the peace movement in thiscountry is said to be controlled by the Soviets. Because King's belief in the doctrine of unconditional love extended to the political enemies of the United States, h e still is not fully accepted and recognized asthe great man he was. For dedication to living out the idea that all men should live in harmony andequality, Martin Luther King's birthday should be a national holiday.

As if I don't have enough problems,now I have to worry about the decaying orbit of a Soviet nuclear reactor. Despite Soviet officials' remarksto the contrary, U.S. and other Western space trackers say radioactive hunks may survive re-entry intoEarth's atmosphere and end their fiery descent somewhere on our planet's surface. Make no mistake, Ihave no doubts where one piece of the flaming space junk is going to land: on me. I can see it all inhorrifying graphic detail, unfolding in any one of a half-dozen scenarios that would put a Sam Peckinpahflick to shame. It could happen in the dead of night, when I'm curled up in my blankets and dreams.Suddenly, a blazing block the size of my General Electric toaster rips through the roof. How rude. The way my luck runs, however, I would be engrossed in one of my numerous bathroom activities whena mess of molten slag would penetrate my privacy and my body. Television crews, newsmen,phbtographers...what an embarassing fate! It's a plot, you see. After all, wasn't the reactor part of theCosmos 1402 spy satellite that conveniently separated into three parts after ground control "failed" toboost it to its proper, safe position? What a clever way to strike a stealthy blow at the West. "It was anaccident," the Soviets would say, barely containing their self-congratulatory grins. And while they're atit, why not wipe out a poor fool (namely, me) stumbling through an academic "career"? "What atypical American boob," they would chortle as they track my movements and push the buttons sealingmy doom. "Take this, bourgeois swine!" Those watching the reactor's plunge say it is likely to re-enterthe atmosphere some time during the week beginning Jan. 23, although they don't know exactly whenand where pieces will hit. / can tell them. But in all seriousness, should it come as a surprise that this is happening? It happened before when Skylab, did a stellar swan dive into Australia five years ago and itwill happen again. Man is well on his way to poisoning everything surrounding him. Water, wildlife,vegetation, the air we breathe and even the ground we walk on have been taintedâ€”so why not outerspace, too? Garbage and nuclear waste have been suggested as two problems that could be solvedby propelling them off the surface of the planet. The idea has been set asideâ€”for now. Throw the stuff into a rocket and everything will be fine. But wouldn't you know itâ€”the same old curse of otherenvironmental problems has begun to show up with objects shot into space. It's kind of a boomerangeffect with the equipment charging back to its starting point. Remember the old saying "What goes up must come down?" It's still trueâ€”sooner or later, it all comes home. AS vote rocks Adminstration â€¢Ed. noteâ€”On Jan. 10 the Associated Students Board of Directors voted to make the AS offices a"nuclear free" zone. WASHINGTON, D.C.â€” The 8 to 1 vote by the Associated Students Board ofDirectors at Western Washington University in Bel-lingham, WA to prohibit the location of nuclearweapons in their offices caught the Reagan Administration by surprise. A high White House sourcesaid yesterday that Reagan was in an extremely "agitated" state upon receiving news of the vote fromSecretary of Defense Casper Weinberger two hours after the board reached its decision. The Pentagonhad hoped to locate the MX Missile Tracking System in the AS offices after the Wyoming Senate voted78 to 26 to reject administration plans to place the controversial weapon system in Wyoming. MarkMurphy, president of the Associated Students at Western, said the board rejected the plan Kirk Ericson Head copy editor because of lack of confidence in the Defense Department's ability to safelyadministrate the placement and deployment of the missiles. "They just couldn't give me anyguarantees that something serious wasn't going to happen," Murphy said. "But I guess the bottom linewas that we want to maintain the autonomy of the AS and I felt having nuclear missiles andwarheads in our offices would compromise our integrity." Murphy said. The plan called for thelocation of long - and short-range ICBMs on a tracking system similiar to the one proposed forplacement in Wyoming. The tracking system would run throughout five of the six AS offices with theremaining room used for storage of up to 10 50-ton nuclear warheads. The plan also included designs for a high-ionic density radar system to be located in the campus radio station, which is in the samebuilding as the AS offices. An official at the Pentagon dismissed Murphy's fear, saying the ICBMscould be stored and launched safely in confined areas. "We could launch an ICBM from Murphy's shirtpocket and not disturb the ash on his cigarette," he said. Although the adminstration said theWashington site had long been considered as an alternative location to the Wyoming site, a WhiteHouse insider said Reagan decided only recently on the â€¢ See ARMAMENT/page 5 ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, January 18, 1983 Western Front 5 Readers9 opinions Murphy supports election WesternFront: I appreciate the constant coverage by the Front of the Washington Student Lobby development.As one of several students that helped make Western a leader in the WSL formation, I've learned thatcooperation between the schools involved is vital to the organization.

There was a desire to give new members of thegrowing board a chance to play a leadership role, and also to encourage members that did not hold astudent government position to run for a WSL office. The elections held on Jan. 8 were legal andlegitimate. I don't want the Front article to imply that I would accuse anyone of â€¢ rigging or fixing theelection. The seemingly solid support by the University of Washington and Washington State Universityfor the candidates from either school, however, does make clear the need for Central WashingtonUniversity, Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State Colllege to fill their open positionson the board rapidly and eliminate the current research university majority. A balanced board is providedfor in the WSL by-laws, and Western needs to do all it can to help the other regional universities catchup. In the interim, two schools have the power to control the board. I don't predict a common "split"between research and regional universities, and hope my prediction is accurate. Internal conflicts canonly harm the WSL by distracting the organization from an important job, and I want to do all I can tofocus us on vital student issues. That's why I want to stress my comments included near the end of theFront article. I plan to give the new officers my full support, and do all I can as one member of the boardto make students a potent political force in Olympia. After only one week of the legislative session, I feel our efforts are working to change legislator's minds. On behalf of the WSL, I urge you to help your local chapter by helping to put student needs at the top of the legislature's priority list when they deal witheducation and funding issues. Thank you, Mark Murphy WSL Board member AS president. More artto come Western Front: I need to correct a misinterpretation of fact concerning the new Juddsculpture piece.

The FairhavenCollege also has poorly structured degrees, and the fact that Fairhaven credits do not readily transfer toWestern or other universities renders credit earned at Fairhaven practically useless when transferring toundergraduate programs within Western or at other universitites. The Fairhaven College was begun as an educational experiment in a time of ultra-liberalism. This "hippie era" has since passed into being just another colorful episode of American culture. Yet Fairhaven continues to cling to the vestiges of thisera and does not fit well into the present decade of conservative realism. The Fairhaven College isbecoming increasingly unpopular and its enrollment has been dropping over the past couple years asstudents enter more career-oriented fields such as technology and the sciences.. This fact coupled withFairhav-en's general liberal atmosphere, will continue its decline in popularity despite the extensiverecruitment campaign Fairhaven initiated last year in a frantic effort to increase its enrollment. Moneysaved by closing Fairhaven could be used to sustain or improve "orthodox" intellectual programs atWestern such as computer science, physics and geology. Finally the only benefit I have ever gottenfrom Fairhaven is the humor of reading its class schedule and observing the dress and mannerisms ofits students. Steven H. Schaps Strong propaganda Western Front: Malcolm Lawrence's pro-homosexual article (Front, Jan. 11) was a masterful piece of propaganda. He used only the fewnatural-bom homosexuals and opposed them to the Lutheran faith which has accepted homosexualministers.

Although the ASboard's vote can be overturned by a vote by the student body, Murphy said he believes the board'sdecision will stand.

Other stories will cover Western students who have the disease, a support groupin Bellingham and future medical treatments. By Chen Hoover Herpes. The disease is unpredictable,incurable and no one can agree about its future. One thing is certain: its numbers are growing and it isaffecting the lives of many. Herpes has received much attention from the media, the doctors, the experts and the non-experts because of the growing number of people who are infected with the virus. Thestatistics vary. Researchers say anywhere from one in 10 to one in 100 Americans have genital heipes.And as many as half a million more men and womenâ€”mainly between the ages of 18 and 35â€”may be contracting the infection In the normal sex scene, people aren't looking at each other's genitals and they should be. every year, according to The information Center on Herpes Disease in New York.Typically a herpes simplex infection appears two to 21 days after initial exposure to the virus. Onceinfected, a person will notice a tingling sensation, then a cluster of blisterlike sores usually appearon the genital area. Lumps also may appear in the"groin area, making it tender, and the person mayexperience flu-like symptoms-muscle ache, fever and headache. These problems occur because the virus circulates throughout the body. "The worst thing is the pain when I go to the bathroom. It's like if youhave an open sore and you pour salt into it," a female Western student with herpes said. The firstepisode is usually the worst. The sores will be quite painful and may last from two to three weeks beforethe sores heal completely. This marks the end of the active phase of herpes, according to "The HerpesBook"by Richard Hamilton. It is possible to catch herpes from a toilet seat, said Arne Eriksen, infectioncontrol nurse at Skagit Valley Hospital. The herpes virus can stay alive up to three days if it is in theright environment. The virus needs moisture, warmth, and little light to thrive, Eriksen said. He added it is possible for the virus to persist on other surfaces, such as a damp towel. "But keep in mind that an open sore or mucosal tissue must come in direct contact with it (the herpesvirus)," Eriksen said. Wheredid it all start? Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) have existed for a long time, according to Hamilton'sbook. Ancient Greeks knew about the disease, studied it, wrote about it and gave it a name. The wordherpes, from the Greek word meaning "to creep," described what the Greeks were observing-^-characteristic herpes soresâ€”sores that seemed to creep over the surface of the skin. The ancientRomans also knew about the disease. Hamilton cites an incident when, nearly 2,000 years ago, RomanEmperor Tiberius tried to curb an epidemic of herpes labialis by outlawing kissing at publicceremonies and rituals. In 1886 two French physicians published the first comprehensive medical reviewof genital herpes. In 1921 German doctor B. Lip-schutz wrote a medical report that was at the time,the most complete study of herpes. Today doctors have divided the virus into two types: herpes simplexvirus one and virus two. The difference is the lower recurrence rate of HSV-1 compared to HSV-2. "Itdoesn't matter if you get it from oral sex, intercourse, or foreplay. What's important is the type of virusthe individual is afflicted with," said Phillip Jones, director of Bellinghamâ€”Whatcom County HealthDepartment. Facts about herpes By Lauri Ann Reed The information in this article is from a pamphletabout herpes from Western's Student Health Services. For the college student who suspects that he has herpes, he should first contact student health services as soon as possible. Herpes may break outanywhere on a person's genital area. For women the virus can be present inside the vagina, where thechances of detectability are very low. The symptoms of the first herpes breakout are small bumps withclear fluid which break down to form small ulcerated areas which are extremely painful. With extremecases of herpes, the person may experience fever, aching muscles, severe pain around the genital areaand enlarged and tender lymph nodes in the groin. On diagnosis at the student health services, thepatient is encouraged to find a second opinion, if only for the reason that the campus health services arevery busy, and the herpes disease has many symptoms that resemble other types of venerealdiseases and infections. To make the time period that the outbreak is present less painful (usuallylasting seven to 10 days initially, healing com-pletelyl within two or more weeks), warm sitz baths may help, as welll as exposing the lesions to air and/or light. Analgesics are also helpful. A hair blower canalso be used to keep the lesions dry. Herpes can be prevented from spreading by, first of all, alwayschecking for any sign of sores or lesions, and refraining from any form of sexual activity when they arepresent. The use of a condom is helpful, but should not be relied on completely. It also is encouraged towatch for the disease during and after times of emotional upset, fatigue, sunburn, cold, and dietimbalance. It is imperative that women identified as carriers of the herpes virus maintain their yearly papsmear. Also, it has been shown that while most victims have identifiable symptoms, some people buildup immunity to these symptoms and pass the disease to others while not appearing affectedthemselves. Women sometimes harbor the disease in their cervix and pass it on to others unknowingly.Between attacks, the virus hides in the nervous system. HSV-1 infects 80 to 90 percent of the American population, Jones said. A person usually is infected with HSV-1 as a babyâ€” perhaps a mother or agrandmother with a cold sore, kisses, and therefore infects, the infant, he said. HSV-2 is commonly thesexual herpes, Jones said. HSV-1 sores could transfer to the genital area if the couple engage in oralsex while one of the partners has a "cold sore," Jones said. "Generally you don't get this type as achild. Generally, you get this type through intercourse," he said. Episodes of recurrent genital herpes are milder and of shorter duration than the initial outbreak. Fewer lesions, a shorter duration of symptomsâ€”(about four-and-a- half days) and a shorter healing time occurs, Lawrence Corey, from the University of Washington Medical School, said. Although it's not nearly as large a problem as is often portrayed, recurrent herpes is troublesome for many. But few actually suffer from a chronic form of recurrentherpes, Corey said. Of the 50 million to 150 million Americans thought to be harboring the disease,roughly two-thirds don't even know it, A small number of people may not experience symptoms, suchas women who are infected only on the cervix or men infected in the upper urethra. These places havefew nerve endings and therefore feel little discomfort. The debate continues about whether a person cancontract herpes when it is in remission. If the virus isn't active, there's no chance to become infected,Jones said. In normal sex people don't look at each other's genitals but they should, Jones said. Thechance of an infected man without visible sores passing, it to a woman is almost zero. A man is taking amuch greater chance because he can't visually see an outbreak on his partner, Jones said. But abouthalf of the women have herpes are unaware of it and the odds are overwhelming against the infectionbeing discovered on a routine exam, he said. Herpes doesn't last very long, it comes and then it heals. It's hard to time the exam when the herpes is present," Jones said. Although Jones said if the virus isn't active, there's no chance to become infected, Linda Speakman, registered nurse with the Bellingham-Whatcom County Health Department, said a person can transmit the disease without having visiblesores. Speakman, who also coordinates the Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic in Bellingham, saida small percentage of the infected population are carriers. They show no outward symptoms butnonetheless carry the virus and are contagious, she said. Uninfected people should be aware thatpeople who say they have never had herpes could be unknowingly infected, she said. Most infectedpeople know when they are going to break outâ€”they're aware of their bodies, Speakmkan said. "Theseare the people who are the safestâ€”the ones who are the least likely to spread the herpes," she said.Surprisingly, herpes is not a reported disease. This is partly because no law exists requiring doctors oranyone else to report a case when they see it, Jones said. Jones estimates that one in 100 people haveherpes. "The truth is nothing like one in 10â€” that's not even close. People who say one in 10 are wayoff base," Jones said. "At least half the people who get it (herpes) get well and never get a recurrence,and those who do, it's not half as bad as you hear in the media," he said. Jones said he also discourages all the attention herpes receives. "It's an over-rated, over publicized disease," Jones said. But tosome people who have herpes, it's not over-rated. â€¢ Friday: A couple discusses the effect of herpes on their lives. ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, January 18, 1983 Western Front 7 Lawn Games The afternoon had all the elements of ThePerfect Fall Day: sunny skies, a hint of winter chill in the air, and a game of Frisbee Football on the OldMain lawn. HIKE! A friendly game. FLING! Between friends. BOOM! THUD! "If it's a nice day, we try toplay on Sundays," says Rod Robinson, a participant of the disc-tossing bouts between residents of upper campus. "We do it for the exercise, mainly." Not only do bodies take a beating on the Old Main lawn, but it's not uncommon in all-out games to go through two or more of the plastic discs used in lieu of afootball. Care to name a favorite brand of flying disc? "We were playing with the GTXUnbreakableâ€”which is the Frisbee to have," says David Lyon of Ridgeway Beta. And? "And we broke it. We sent parts of it back to the manufacturer to try to replace it," he said. The object of the game is to toss the disc to teammates in the end zone for a touchdown. Dropping the "ball" results in a turnover tothe opposition. Escaping the opponent for an easy catch is only half the game. The rest is avoiding thetrees, fences, light posts, sidewalks and sculptures which define the field boundaries. It also helps toavoid the muddy spots. With Old Main's lawn chewed up with use, that isn't easy to do. 4 A pile-up atmidfieldfinds (left to right) John Miahoyt, Pete Coburn and Bruce Bradburn in the heat of theactionâ€”without a Frisbee.

Wildcat Head Coach Dean Nicholson s u b s t i t u t e d freely,sometimes bringing in a n entire fresh five as Central picked u p its fourth district victory, 65-55, Friday night in Carver Gym. "We just started doing that (substituting whole teams) two games ago," Nicholsonsaid. "We've been doing that because we're so deep." Head Viking Coach Bill West-phal, however, hadto depend on seven players who seemed to fade down the stretch. Western could only produce 22points in the second half. The Vikings shot only 36 percent from the floor, something Westphal feltthey couldn't do. "I said before the game that we had to hit 50 percent," Westphal said after the contest."If w e did, I felt we could beat this team by 10 points." But Western, shooting 45 percent from thefloor this season, couldn't seem to find their groove, hitting only 21 of 58 shots, eight of 25 in the secondhalf. "Maybe I was thinking about it too much," guard Bob Peters said. Peters scored once in only fourattempts Friday night. Guard David Strathy provided, most of the offensive punch for Western. He scored 15 first-half points, most ofwhich came in the first ten minutes of the ball game. "He came through,"Westphal said. "He got u s off the dime." Strathy's tallies kept the Vikings close. They were down byonly two, 16-14, with 10:07 left in the first half. Six minutes later, guard Larry Craven hit a jumper to give the Vikings a four point lead, 26- 22 with four minutes left in the half. Central came back, fighting off the screams of 2500 fans with the kind of coolness that has become Photo by Curt Pavola Western's newpresident G. Robert Ross and his wife, Betty: are introduced to Friday night s Carver Gym basketballcrowd. their trademark. The Wildcats hit three unanswered hoops to go ahead by two. Western's finallead of the contest came in the last two minutes of the first half, but an ensuing Wildcat flurry put thevisitors up by two until Viking Todd Bailey scored on a jumper to tie the score at 33 at the half. Allhopes for an upset, however, were quickly swept away by a 14-2 r un by the Wildcats during the firstfive minutes of the second half. Western didn't let u p as they kept the Wildcats scoreless for fourminutes to close the gap to six, 56-50. During the next Wildcat timeout, Westphal set t he Vikings upin a defense designed to force the Wildcats into committing turnovers. But guard Jeff White was calledfor a questionable player control foul that gave the ball back to the Wildcats and .forced Western toresort to foulingâ€”a tactic that failed as Central went to the foul line five times to stretch their lead toten. "We just couldn't get over the hump," Peters said after the game. Strathy, who was held to onlyone point in the second half, agreed. "We just couldn't get a hoop," he said. "It happens sometimes."For Central a pair of guards led the way. Ken Bunton hit four of eight attempts from the floor en route to11 points, and Bob Kennedy scored 10. Jerome Williams led the Central inside game. The transferfrom the University of Oregon scored nine points in just 19 minutes on the floor. Forward Doug Harris ledall rebounders with 10 and scored nine points. Western's Greg Snow pulled down eight rebounds andscored 14 points. Western's next game is 7:30 tonight against Pacific Lutheran University. Winter work 'springs' track team Photo by Kris Franich Western Track Coach Ralph Vernacchia (right) By KevinNelles To the average spectator, all that's usually seen in a trackmeet is the result. But there's anothersideâ€”preparation. Western Track Coach Ralph Vernacchia is a strong advocate for off-seasonpreparation. "There aren't any secrets to it," Vernacchia said. "Just hard work." That "work" hasproduced back-to-back district titles for the men's team the past two years, and it began again inearnest last week with the official start of turnouts. But the preparation has actually been going on fora long time. "Most of the team has been training (running and lifting weights) four or five times a weeksince last fall a n d some have been getting ready since summer." To Vernacchia, such dedication iscrucial. Athletes need to be consistent in their preparation and attitude, Vernacchia said. He added that exceptional athletes usually are endowed with patience and a belief they can attain the goals they setfor themselves. Vernacchia, who has a doctorate in sports psychology a n d has coached for 18 years (10 years at Western), says some aspects of coaching track have changed in recent years. One of the revised coaching methods Vernacchia now uses is a device he calls an "educational base," in whichtraining programs are fitted to individual athletes. Factors such as exercises, aerobics, diet, oxygenintake and m u s c u l a r i m b a l a n c e s are reviewed in the content of an athlete's capabilities. Itis important, Vernacchia said, for "coaches to have a good educational backround before they ever begin supervising an athlete." Those interested in participating in varsity track and field this spring shouldcontact Vernacchia at Carver Gym, room 184.

"If we can win that one, we have a good chance ofwinning our next three and that will put us over .500 in district." Snow and the rest of Western's teamwill have to regroup quicklv because Pacific Lutheran University will be in town tonight to play theVikings in a District contest. Women nab SU Road awaits By T im Mahoney Western's women'sbasketball team survived a determined comeback here Friday night, thanks to sophomore guard CherylBoxx who put in five crucial points in the final 1:05 to give the Vikings a 62-57 victory over the SeattleUniversity Chieftains. The Vikings took a 49-39 lead on the strength of a six-point run fueled by two LorideKubber lay-insâ€” one of them a startling 360- degree twister. If the Chieftans were impressed,however, it was only for a moment. In minutes, the visitors fought to within a point of Western , 54-53,led by senior guard Cathy Percy who poured in 11 of her game-high 21 points during the comeback rush. Down the stretch, both teams traded baskets and turnovers until Western's Boxx hit a three-point playwith a minute left. In the final seconds, Boxx sank a pair of free throws to secure the win. Of Western'searly advantage, Cheiftan head coach Dave Cox said, "We got ourselves into a hole and we were battling back the whole game. We never really could get a lead." deKubber led the Vikings in scoring with 16points while Faye Eken netted 14â€”12 of them during Western's lucrative first half. Eken also had 13rebounds to go with Cindy Pancerzewski's 12. Marcia Grimsley and Boxx each contributed eight pointsto the Viking effort. In addition to Percy's 21 points, freshman center Angel Petrich canned 11 points forthe Cheif-tans and Maria Bajocich had 10 rebounds. Western, now 7-1 in district and 10-5 overall, willbe on the road for the next two weekends, playing Friday at Lewis-Clark State and Saturday at CentralWashington University. ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, January 18, 1983 Western Front 9 Quiet hoopster crunches foes ByPamHelberg With her hairstill wet and uncombed and her shoes and socks in hand, 20-year-old Cindy Pancer-zewski, a front-court fixture on the women's basketball team for the past two years, took a few minutes to relax. Anotherpractice had ended. 'There's never any break," she said. "Most of the team was back here at 1:00 theday after Christmas (to prepare for an extended holiday road trip.) ' Pancerzewski, however, wasn'tcomplaining. "I'd rather travel and play than stay at home and be lazy," she explained, her voice strainingto compete with the incessant sound of leather striking the gym floor.. Pancerzewski kept one eye onWestern's men's team as they ran through pre-practice conditioning drills while she delved into theorigins of her interest in the sport. "When I was little and the guys would go out to play, I wanted toplay too, but they'd only let me ref. So I'd take my plastic whistle from a cereal box and doit,"Pancerzewski recalled, flexing her muscles as she emphasized "guys." "Somehow I knew the calls, andthey listened." Fortunately for Western's basketball team, Pancerzewski's love for the game wentbeyond whistle-blowing on the playground. Her career includes two years on her junior high school team,and four years at Mariner High School where she earned honorable .mention Converse All-Americanhonors and was selected All-League. She sat out her freshman year at Western to concentrate onvolleyball, and after a bit of persuasion, from head basketball coach Lynda Goodrich, Pancerzewskidecided to try out for the team last year. "I was flattered that Lynda knew who I was. I had been workingat her summer basketball camp and she just said to me, 'I hear you should be playing basketball for us'." Pancerzewski had a late start last year as she was still playing volleyball and helping Western's effortsin playoffs when the basketball season began. This year, in an effort to concentrate on basketball andpreserve some emotional and academic sanity, she sat out the volleyball campaign. "I must have beenhyper or something last year," she said, a look of slight amazement crossing her face. And although hergrades didn't suffer much, she bluntly attributes that to the level of classes she was taking. "I'd rathertake a difficult class, learn something, enjoy it and get a "C",' than, say, take an easy class, be boredand get a "BM have a hard time with just sliding through. It's not worth it. It's not worth it to go to schoolnot really knowing what you are doing. You have to have goals." Pancerzewski's interests extend beyond the hardwood. Although she is officially listed as a physical education major, her interests go beyondthe realm of athletics, as indicated by her minors in special education and psychology. "I don't want tobe in a gym all day, everyday, for the rest of my life," she said. "Someone mentioned ' special ed, I said'hmmm' and put the two together." But Pancerzewski still is fiercely dedicated to basketball, andunderstandably, she gives herself positive reviews for her performance thus far, "Not to be conceited oranything," she said, "but I really can't think of any weakness in my game. I just concentrate on the better points. "I set goals for myself before a game. In high school I'd go out with the goal of doing better thanmy idol and fellow teammate and now I try to beat my average." And that is no easy task. Pancerzewskicurrently leads the team in points, averaging 13.3 per game, and rebounds, 8.3 per game, a definiteasset in helping Western achieve its 6-1 league record. "Cindy plays very aggressively. She really goes forthat ball," teammate Anne Cooper said. "She's a real positive influence on the team; she gets psychedand sparks us all." "When you get a compliment from Cindy, you know she means it. Coming from aperson who's generally pretty quiet, you know that she's sincere," Cooper said. Pancerzewski alsoconsiders herself quiet. "I'm pretty much a loner on the team, not because I hate the people anything like that, but I just don't have time to do much socializing with anyone. I have to study a lot." She said theteam as a whole is fairly introverted. "We even had a meeting about it. No one would say anything atpractice. We had to explain that we didn't hate one another." A sharp contrast can be drawn betweenPancerzewski's genteel off-court demeanor and her imposing behavior during a game. There, she isan ominous force. Her dimensions are a threatening 5-10", 170 lbs., and it's not uncommon to catch aglimpse of her with teeth bared and fists clenched, ready to dispute a questionable call. Pancerzewskicould very well be sending shivers up the tube socks of Western's opponents for the next two years, andshe virtually guarantees a return next season. "Unless things change drastically academically, I'll playfor sure next year, but student teaching might make a fourth year a little difficult," she said. But twoyears is a ways off. For Pancerzewski and the rest of the team, this season is far from over, with hopesof district, regional and national playoffs still ahead. At any rate, Western basketball fans will be happy if Pancerzewski repeats at least once more what has become, for her, a winter ritual almost as instinctiveas hibernation.

Yawn. The eight games proved without a doubt that NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle's "parity plan," meant to equalize team performances, has finally resulted in league-widemediocrity. With the offensive emphasis placed on the passing attack in recent years, the pro gamehas deteriorated from "frequently exciting" to "occasionally interesting." Even a spectacular play can'tcome close to overcoming the generally lackluster performances that have become the norm. Evensupposedly "good" games leave me cold. The key problem is the new philosophy of living and dying bythe pass. The average rushing yardage per game has dropped lower than my checking account balance. A single good running back could out-distance most team rushing totals these days. A typical exampleof how games develop in the No Fun League was last Saturday's Washington-Detroit "contest."Although the Redskins outgained the Lions by only two yards, Washington won 31-7. Detroit stumbled,bumbled and fumbled its way to five turnovers. I have the uncomfortable feeling the Redskins won notbecause they were so outstanding, but because the lions were so ... average. ' In all four of those initialplayoff games, the winners outrushed the losers, calling on the more balanced strategy of years past toprovide the victory. The proliferation of passing stems in part from rules that restrict defenders contacting receivers, as well as allowing, offensive linemen greater freedom in their blocking techniques. Besides, more passing means more points, right? The four losers in the games two Saturdays ago averaged 11.5 points per game. Too bad their opponents average almost 32 points. I'm not saying winning teamsshould rush the ball 50 times every gameâ€”that would be boring. In fact, most successful teams havegood passing attacks and may even score many of their I I I I I I I I I I I I L it1 I KEGS SPECIAL ^ to go $29.19 Beer Cups Available I I (plus tax) I with this coupon Expires 1-28-83 BEECHHOUSE PUB 113 E.

But with a balanced offense, the defense can be kept guessing and thus be left open to full exploitation.Unfortunately, fewer and fewer teams seem to adhere to this traditional offensive strategy. Last year'sSuper Bowl featured two teams (San Francisco and Cincinnati) with virtually no rushing offense. Thecontest was as exciting as a lobotomy. Some would argue this season's mediocre play results from the long player's strike and as such, it's rare that teams with records of 4-5 should qualify for the playoffs.Sure, I'll agree with thatâ€”it usually takes a 9-7 record. Whoopee. But through the torrent of "Hail Mary" passes, television sportscasters have continued to heap piles of pithy praise on NFL games. Who canblame them? If my network had a couple hundred million bucks invested in it, I would be enthusiasticabout Armageddon. It all wears thin, however. Professional sports have degenerated into money warsbetween athletes, their agents and ownersâ€”it's enough to make me violently ill. I would rather watch an intercollegiate contest, where the players are, I hope, playing for something besides money. A goodcollege game compared to a mind-numbing NFL affair is like a fresh breeze blowing through a garbagedumpâ€”it's a relief from the stink.

The Vikings led 4-1 at the end of the first period and 5-2after the second period. The newly-formed line of John Herda, Al Nixon and Rich Utendale led theVikings with four goals. "It was agood team effort," Viking coach John Utendale said. "We controlledthe play." Utendale complimented the play of his team's defensemen,forwards and goaltender. TheHuskies played the game game under protest. UW's coach Dave Spath said Western's second goalshould not have been counted. He said his team ' heard the referee blow his whistle before the puckentered the net. "Our guys stopped," Spath said. "The referee's decision to allow the goal set the tonefor the entire game." Viking manager Chet Cory called that nonsense. "It happened early," he said."They had lots of time to come back." Cory said he doesn't expect the protest to go anywhere.ALASKA SUMMER JOBS Westours, leader in Alaska experience, has openings for Driver GuideQualifications: â€¢ 21 years old by June 1, 1983 â€¢ Good driving record â€¢ Willing to work at leastuntil Sept. 15. â€¢ Starting pay $1450 per month Come to the General Interest Meeting â€¢ Jan 19,3:30-7:30 pm, Wilson Library Presentation Room Contact the Placement Center for further informationNo Phone Calls Please ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 11 ---------- Arts/entertainment January 18, 1983 11 Tootsie:' a message in chic clothing By Lauri Ann Reed Inrecent years, the movie industry has turned toward a higher understanding of sexist norms in oursociety. "Tootsie" continues to explore the problem in a light and likable tone. We have seen womenpor-trayed as strong and wise in films such as "Julia," "The Turning Point," "The World According toGarp" and "Reds." "Tootsie," starring Dustin Hoffman, describes the difficulties of an out-of-work actorwho gets a female role in a famous soap opera. All of us, at one time or another, wondered what it would be like to belong to the opposite sex.' Throughout the film Hoffman, aka Michael Dorsey/DorothyMichaels/Tootsie, finds what is difficult and infuriating in being a woman. Dorsey is forced to accept theabhorrent advances of a put-to-pasture Don Juan, complete with a Binaca blast. He takes and observeschauvinist offenses again and again until he finally, in an unforgettable scene with his employer (playedby Dabney Coleman), says to him in his falsetto voice, "Don't call me 'tootsie.' My name is Dorothy. That's capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y. No more, no less. Just Dorothy.'' Dustin Hoffman has the rareopportunity of being trusted and admired by his peers for nothing but his personality and kindness. Notmany women or men get the. chance to have that. "Tootsie" is not only notable for its thematic Dorsey's character and his confusion. While passing as a solemn and symbolic movie of our times, "Tootsie"was created to please the comedy seekers as well. When Hoffman was Ted Kramer in "Kramer vs.Kramer," his portrayal of a once egotistical and later very caring father was tear-jerking. Men and women alike many people away from the movie lines, but now the movies both have been successful in reviews and in box office rake-ins. In "The World Accordng to Garp," Jenny Fields, Garp's mother, is the authorof Sexual Suspect, a book that prods thousands of women world-wide into becoming feminists. Jenny "Tootsie's" creators had the audacity to give the trite idea of movie transvesticism a new face and ashaved chest, and they came up with a message that needed to be said. points. It also is wonderfullydirected. The casting is nearly perfect, and the acting is excellent throughout. Actress Teri Garr'sdumb, blond nervous act is accurate, if a little tragic. Jessica Lange, in the beautiful girl role, acted tothe hilt the kind and gentle martyr. But I was somewhat saddened at the lack of female brilliance; thetwo girls leave Dorsey as the only truly strong and admirable female in the film. "Tootsie" is rarebecause the comical aspects are the plays on were taught to feel for the plight of a single parent, a tornlittle boy and a woman who was driven to her limits. Robin Williams as T.S. Garp in "The WorldAccording to Garp" was a man first outshone by a domineering and caring mother and then lost in aworld of drama, equipped with Ellen Jamesians, extra-marital affairs and assassinations. Both Kramerand Garp were men that, in different ways, learned the role of househus-band. Twenty years ago such an idea would have effectively kept explains in her no-nonsense fashion that "in this dirty-minded world,"things don't always go that well for women. She details â€¢her many unpopular decisions, to help otherwomen follow a similar path. In "Kramer vs. Kramer," Ted Kramer learns the pains of reschedulingmeetings and listening to whining complaints, all for the child he loves. The most infuriating thingabout chauvinism is the inability of the chauvinists to realize their own short-sightedness. It is a rareopportunity to see and live the life of a woman, also rare in its baffling and unfair nature. That's what isgood about "Tootsie." Not only Hoffman, but every person in the audience sees past the tripping on highheels sight gags to a real and greatly overlooked problem. "Kramer vs. Kramer" and "The WorldAccording to Garp" also stand out as significant statements, combining portraits of strong womenand understanding men in an age of few meaningful feministic statements in the film industry. Inmovies today, producers have resorted to using special effects, gruesome gore and horror or intensedrama that leaves little room for air. "Tootsie" creators had the audacity to give the trite idea of movietransvesticism a new face and a shaved chest, and-they came up with a message that needed to besaid. The most joyful thing I found in "Tootsie" is the definite possibility that there are people out there who go to the movies to see a light trifle and come out with an enlightened view. If one person sees thisin "Tootsie," the movie was worth it. That may be why Hoffman donned the dress. Minimalism: how theart fits at Western By Roger Hayden Undoubtedly, most people walking through campus have noticedthe numerous sculptures placed strategically here and there. Probably a few have even tried to ponderthe meaning of the various pieces. A common reaction when encountering some of the sculptures maybe one of hostility. A better understanding of what the art is all about will serve to diffuse that hostility.An explanation, though possibly incomplete in some respects, therefore is due. The majority ofWestern's outdoor sculptures are of an art form called "Minimalism." The collection is one of two such "outdoor museums" on the west coast. The other is at U.C.LA. The acquisition of the art began back inthe '60s when former campus planner Barney Gbltz, along with people from the art and architectureworld, became interested in the art form. Although Fred Bassetti, an architect who designed severalbuildings on campus, created one of the first pieces of outdoor sculpture, the actual trend towardMinimalist art started with the acquisition of the Sky- Viewing Sculpture. Minimalism is somewhatcomplex and often perplexing to the untrained observer. The style, concerned with architecturalenclosure, nature and mechanical and negative space, attempts to emphasize and make one aware of the space surrounding a particular piece.

This effect is most easily achieved within the interior spaces ofbuildings: the piece will intrude upon the available space and often appear to extend beyond that area,forcing the observer to consider the surrounding environment. Minimalism reveals the monumentalnature inherent in art and architecture. A problem with some outdoor sculptures is that, unless they aremonumental representations of a much smaller real-life object, they can't deal effectively with theproblem of scale and space. Most of the sculptures on campus have in common the element ofgeometric design. Some, such as the Rock Rings and Judd's piece, the new steel box on the Old Mainlawn, are placed in relation to the environment. Looking through Judd's piece toward the bay, one cansee the sunset framed between the column-like vertical steel pieces. The Rock Rings, on the south end of campus, has four archways that are aligned with true north and south. The outdoor museum willprobably not expand again for at least the rest of this century, Richard Francis, chairman of the ArtAcquisition Committee, said. A state law states that one half of one percent of the costs for new building construction be set aside for the purchase of art. But considering the current state of the economy andprojected enrollment decline at Western, any new construction will be unlikely for some time.Classifieds Rates: 70$ per line (30 char acters) first insertion; 65$ per line each additional insertion. ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 18 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Tuesday, January 18, 1983 Scholarships offered Ringer McCaslin get to By Lord L.Fox ant} general scholarships, which *â€”^ ^5 the roots of country music By Lord L. Fox Amid budgetcuts squeezing even the most needed serviceâ€” Financial Aidâ€”scholarships continue to be a hopefor students who need help meeting college costs. "Scholarships do not depend in any way on statefunds," said Fran Titus, Scholarship Coordinator and financial aid counselor. That's a distinction thathas-kept scholarships alive and growing. Funds come from private donors, alumni, businessorganizations or from specific memorial funds set up to commemorate a faculty member. TheWestern Foundation, the non-profit fund-raising arm of. Western discontinued in 1978, will bereimplimented beginning fall of 1983 to continue work for Western scholarships. In 1981-82, Westernawarded $115,000 in scholarships and $132,000 is predicted for 1983. Private scholarships totalled$182,000 in 1981-82. Three hundred and fifty students a year received private awards, while anestimated 248 students benefited from Western scholarships, including some students who have morethan one award. Awards range from $150 to $1,500. Competition is tough for both private and Westernscholarships and Titus encourages students to be diligent in their efforts. "If a student has a goodGPA and takes the time and effort to check departments and apply for all the scholarships he or she iseligible for, then there's a good chance to land a scholarship," Titus said. Western offers three types ofscholarships: University scholarships., departmental scholarships and scholarships offered tofreshmen and transfer students. Students must show financial' need, academic achievement and a 3.5GPA or better to apply for University scholarships. A Financial Aid Form (FAF) is required forconsideration and applicants will be considered automatically if the FAF is filed by April 1. Partial tuitionand fee waivers lt;â€¢ are included in this category. That funding differs from other Western awardssince it is drawn from the four percent of tuition and fees the state allows the university to waive eachyear. Three percent goes to Financial Aid waivers, and 1 percent is the scholarship program's share tobe awarded at their discretion. Scholarships offered to entering freshmen and transfer students arebased on significant achievement in high school or college and doesn't require an FAF form. Westernhas 51 departmental Correction Last Friday The Front mistakenly reported that $50 prizes : would beawarded to all students whose submissions to Jeopardy were selected. More accurately, a $50 prize will be awarded to the best single selection in each category of art, photography and ' prose. The Frontregrets the error.

One andone-half hours should be allowed for the test session. An "after school activities program" for childrenin first through sixth grades will start Feb. 1 at the Garden Street United Methodist Church. To beeligible, both a child's parents must be working or attending school. and general scholarships, whichare awarded to outstanding students in their majors. Students must meet specific: eligibilityrequirements, which are decided by the department or scholarship donor. Titus pointed Dut that thiscategory of scholarship is growing every year. Applications for departmental scholarships will becomeavailable as early as February. Information on the awards can be found in the respective department. Financial Aid offers resources for students who wish to apply for nation-wide private scholarships.Wayne Sparks, Director of Financial Aid, urged students to take advantage of the scholarship programat Western. "I feel the program fulfills an important function in providing a means to recognize studentswho have accomplished above-average work," Sparks said. "And there seems to be a trend toward more scholarship funding." By Carol Hierck Western's Program Commission, in collaboration with NorthwestFreedom University, presents Jim Ringer and Mary McCaslin at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Viking Unionlounge. Jim Ringer is a country singer whose music reflects a refreshing back-to-the-roots movement.As a musician, Ringer was a late bloomer. His early years were spent raising a family; it was not until he became associated with mandolinist Kenny Hall that he eventually began recording with Kenny sSweets Mill String Band. During the past ten years, Ringer has been making up for lost time, developinginto a prolific writer and recording artist. Ringer has recorded five solo albums. His latest, "EndangeredSpecies," is a collection of country songs that, Ringer says, "deal with people and ways that are tooquickly disappearing." It has been termed by critics as his most fully realized work to date. Finger's work as a solo artist is complemented by the music of his wife and working partner, Mary McCaslin. Raisedin California, McCaslin, a folk-rock singer-understands the misconceptions people have about the Westbeing a place "full of open ranges and wild mustangs." The struggle between her dreams of the old westand the reality of the new west is the theme of much of her music. McCaslin began her singing career inthe 1960s recording on the Capitol label. In 1973 she began recording a series of albums on which herreputation has been largely based. Each features McCas-lin's touch with pure vocals and sensitivesongwriting. McCaslin has been praised by critics as "an oddity in the music business, someone whomakes it on her talent alone." When Ringer and McCaslin perform together, each plays a solo set, thenthe evening ends with both of them on stage performing their body of duet material. Admission to theconcert is $4; $3.50 for students. INVENTORY CLOSE-OUT i t SALE % Â°^ Save u p to 70% ^Everything must be sold! For Him: Assorted Sweaters rCg. to $25 on.......

He .has completed a four-month's tour of the British Isles and Continental Europe. He traveled a total of 18,- 000 miles and visited ten different Countries. He tried to combine a study of political, social, economic and educational conditions with sight-seeing. He found the educational system in general to be inferior to that of America. Outside of Scotland,- their teacher training institutions are behind our own. Europe Has Advanced. Economically, continental Europe is ahead of her position before the war. Modern machinery and methods have been introduced in industry, to the extent that each country is producing far more efficiently and several times the quantity of goods produced in pre-war days. Economic conditions in England were found to be much behind those of the Continent, due to the ill effects of the coal strike. The unemployment situation is very critical, with more than a million and one-half people j9n the dole. Conference Good Measure. Mr. Williams, believes that the imperial conference recently held in London is destined to have a marked influence on both political and economic life in the Empire. Germany has .recovered to a wonderful degree. Prof. Williams states that Hamburg looks as prosperous as any American city. ' 3 Mr. Williams made a particular study of the co-operative associations of Denmark, where it has been carried out to a greater extent than any other place in the world. Czechoslavokia Interesting.

WAS FORMERLY A HOBO Has Had Varied Life, Working in Chicago Stockyards, Later a Journalist, Now a Famous Poet. Townspeople as well as students and faculty are looking forward to the appearance of Carl Sandburg, American poet, who will be here January 15, in the second number on the lecture course. Mr. Sandburg has led an unusual and interesting life which has naturally affected his poetry. He was born in Galesburg, Illinois, and there received his education. After leaving collegs, he became a hobo and wandered all over the United States, learning much of various classes of people. Later he found employment in the stockyards of Chicago, spending his spare time in the writing of poetry. His start as a writer was made in hack journalism, and until recently he has served as motion picture critic on the Chicago News. Contrary to many poets, his crea-. tions have not been written for the purpose of earning—a living and is free from the influence of readers ,and publishers. His poetry is a queer exotic combination of beautiful expressions, deeply mystic in quality and resembling the old Norse sagas. He has the ability to create the most vivid of mind pictures. There is a vigor and strength in his lines, expressing a brutal realism, most prominent in his poems about Chicago. He is rated by critics as one of America's best contemporary poets.

The six appointive members of the city zoning commission who were named by Mayor John A. Kellogg Monday, December- 20, met in the mayor's city hall ofifce today and determined by lot their terms of office. The terms were allotted as follows: One year, W. G. Willox and Dr. T. M.

Just what the twelve weeks following mean to us, depends upon individual differences in attitude and view. To some, it means a constant grinding so to speak, a diligent devotion of all the minutes there are to the printed matters we carry back and forth to school. Rightly, it should be this way. It is the only justification there can be offered to our coming back, and to the sacrifices of those who have sent us here. To some, however, and we hope they are very few, coming back to school means merely escaping the obligation of doing some work at home or somewhere, and whiling time until Fate causes a significant turn in the course of their destiny. Coming back to school thus offers some food for thought and only in an early contemplation of it can its outcome be determined. Let us get down to work and burn the midnight oil to advantage and profit, that in the end we can pause and look back and exclaim: "My efforts were not spent in vain." BRING 'EM A BED Those "Kids'! in the front row of the auditorium are probably in the wrong pew. Judging from actions they should either be in bed or in the nursery department of the pre-primary grades. It is very annoying and disconcerting to a speaker to be continually swept off Ms feet by incessant volumes of noise from the pit immediately below him. This noise is caused primarily by too much "foot work" and general restlessness. Be considerate and try to act your age although you feel much younger. —o- EXACTLY WHAT WE H A y E BEEN WAITING FOR As forward looking students of this institution we are awaiting with anxiety the adoption of the Washington State Normal School Athletic constitution, by the Cheney and Ellensburg Normals. Under trie present system, (which is no system at all), a student may compete in a sport as many seasons as he is of Worth to the team. The proposed constitution for the three Normal schools places some restrictions upon the players. It demands of them certain standards of excellence in scholarship along with their athletic ability. (As examples of students who have combined scholarship with strenuous athletics, and have made a success of both, we need only look eastward to Notre Dame and bow to the famous four horsemen. In fact we have only to loojc within our own sanctuary behind some old bookcase and we discover Dan Beighle, an excellent scholar and a marvelous athlete). y There is probably not a positive correlation between scholarship and athletic prowess, but there, is enough correlation between the two to place some restrictions upon the athlete who "just gets by." The new plan if adopted will do away with the students who get the habit to "drift" from one school to another for football or basketball, announcing of school regulations, and such. The system now pending will also provide for a more reason-able distribution of awards, which will give the student who receives a "W" sweater a keener satisfaction in knowing that he has really earnc something and not just "had it given him."

The late nights, happy parties, crowded dates, and many other essentials of a real vacation, haunt my memory. So that in trying to revive, %o resume rather, the task imposed upon me by this column, I inevitably come to think that I am going to write on the past two weeks. But pause, gentle reader, can you expect from me experiences more thrilling, more unusual, or more entertaining, than those which you and the rest of us have had during the short time we were blessedly granted? The fact that membership in this club is based upon ability to write, shows that it will not just be a provisional organization... By its'nature, it is destined to be one that is enduring, endearing, and permanent in the galaxy of Normal student activities... This is also due to the fact that those who are in this club are undoubtedly serious and interested in the aims which the club has in view. At last the proposed and well-considered SCRIBES CLUB has been organized. At it has been predicted in this column the turnout for membership has been very encouraging. There are more applicants, than can be possibly accommodated.

She also stressed the fact that co-opeation was very necessary in sports as well as in any other phase of school life.

Each group was given two minutes in which to prepare a stunt typical of their sport and as a result, those interested in basketball proved that a ball was not necessary to make a good game. A very exciting contest was played in which a high score was piled up without the aid of a ball.

Coach Carver's Varsity basketball squad opens its 1927 season tomorrow evening at 7:30 in the Whatcom High School gym against the Lynden Zebras. The Vikings have shown class in their pre-season workouts and are doped to havfe the best team in years, and are favored to emerge victorious; However, the creamery boys Jiold a 42-41 practice game decision over the Normal outfit, and as a result a close and exciting contest is looked for. There will be no preliminary. The Zebras are an independent semi-pro aggregation composed of former Lynden High School stars. They have on their roster many of the best ex-high school stars in the state. Among these are Roland Shagren, last year's all-district guard; Cliff Axling, all-state guard; Barney Eine, and Henry Meurer, former high school men. Vikings are Strong Acordingg to all available evidence, the Vikings will have a winning aggregation on the floor. With Ray Odell and Earl Keplinger, star forwards of 1926, and Lyman Stickney, guard on the same team, as a-nucleus, a complete squad of brilliant players has been built. Odell and Keppy, who led last year's men through the season with but three defeats, are even better this year. Stickney, probably the best guard in a Viking uniform for a long time, is continuingg his steady and dependable play. Jensen, the hew man from Chehalis, is favored over Ockie Thorson of Whatcom, for the tip-off post. He has the makings of a wonderful offensive man and basket-shooter, but appears a little weak on the defense. At the other guard position, Art Isaacson looks to be the best man. Playing in the City League, he has been the outstanding defensive man, and also has a good eye for long shots. Harry Benson is the chief rival for Isaacson's position, and may be in the opening line-up Saturday. Several new candidates for varsity honors have appeared this week, and may prove to be real stars. Standing out among these is Teddy Burke of Issaquah, a forward who has been highly recommended by Morrie Thomas, a Viking hoopster of several years ago. McCIurken of Richmond Beach, also has shown promise. jay Vees Conquer Shell Oil Team in a Practice Titi ,The Jayvees continued on their five game winning streak by defeating the fast Shell Oil hoop squad 37-22 in the Normmal gym Tuesday evenGetting off to^a flying start, the Vikings were , never headed.

Auditory Organs Severely Censured by Harsh Anatomy Critic of Today While this is not to be an erudite dissertation upon any grave subject, it is intended to call attention to one of the greatest hindrances in the path of human progress. This hindrance is ears—that is, external, physical ears; not that gifts, so highly prized, of receiving audible sounds by the sensitive inner mechanism. While ears are perhaps a necessity, there are many, or at least several, reasons why we, individually and collectively, would bo better off and happier without them. It is an undisputed fact that bric-a-brac is excessively liable to catch dust and other objectionable effluvia. Now ears, by reason of their shape and their many corrugations, hollows and ridges, prove themselves excellent in this class. It seems as though the small particles of dust hide from one another behind the bolder ridges, and in the deeper recesses, they have gatherings, resembling in color, an African Sunday School picnic. Everyone is aware of the necessity of- ablutions, frequently indulged in for the good of the human inhabitants of our sphere. Ears have, I think, proved themselves a great hindrance to the performance of this necessary rite. If a small boy, exhorted by material persuasion, is impelled to attempt the cleaning of his person, say above his shoulders— there would be little hesitation or difficulty in carrying out this procedure if it were not for those ever-present ears. It is humanly possible —while not perhap/s probable—for a small male child, under twelve years of age, to wash his face, hands and neck, but when two large and ample ears are added to this collection, juvenile endurance is . put to a strain to sustain this added burden. For a young child to gaze raptly into a mirror, only to be confronted by his visage flanked by a pair of ears, ranging in color from pink at the circumference to chocolate brown in the deep interior, and varying in shape from a shell to a scoop, is disheartening. He broods upon it and upon the impossibility of ever effecting a lasting change. At last, continued worry and mental strain bring about their, usual result,^and the child, a martyr to an unfeeling Nature, is incarcerated, in the bloom of his youthful existence in some home for the feeble minded, if Death itself does not claim the innocent one as a victim. . Truly, this is a direful picture but instances approaching the above, are all too numerous. I hope that the points brought out in this short dissertation have touched your heart, and that you, O fair reader, feel a measure (however small it maybe) PPPPP

Development of Tech college put 'on hold'by SANDY CATT A College of Technology should not be established with-aut further investigation intothe possibility of forming a Droader College of Applied Sciences, Wednesday's Faculty \ffairs Council(FAC) vote de-ermined. The vote was taken in response to an inquiry from James Talbot, vicepresident for aca-lemic affairs. The Long tenge Planning Committee LRPC) asked Talbot to investi- ;atethe advantages and disad-antages of a new college. He urned to the FAC for its opin- 3n. "Going with aschool of technology closes the option of amalgamation of other departments into colleges," MerrillLewis, chairman of the council, said. He told the faculty representatives an exclusive technologycollege might restrict the development of a college for related areas such as journalism, speech,VICOED and broadcasting. The council also said formation of specialized colleges might restrict theclasses to students within the college. The establishment of professional schools concentrating on oneskill, harm the general education aspect of the university, Joe Crook, FAS member, said. The councildiscussed recommending that the Academic Coordinating Committee ensure that futureprofessional colleges will admit non-majors to courses and require that specialization students takea variety of liberal arts courses. Although the FAC put the development of a College of Technology "on hold," George Witter, council member, said, "The way we change administrative structuresaround here, nothing closes any doors. If you don't like it, wait a minute."

AS might face suit over groups' rent bill by JESSIE MILUG AN Severalactive campus religious groups might sue the university if the AS Board of Directors decidestonight that religious groups should be required to pay rent for meeting rooms here. The groups"threatened to sue or to recall everyone on the board who votes (for the rental policy) or appeal to theBoard of Trustees," AS President Dave Clark said. "I don't know if they are idle threats or not," he said. The Rev. Doug Bosscher, Christian group spokesman, said they would rather not spend the time andmoney on a court case. "As long as we can keep the status quo (using rooms here without payingrent), then we won't move to more formal proceedings," he said. A Seattle lawyer has been retained bythe groups to study the constitutional issue of allowing religious groups to use state facilities free ofcharge, Bosscher said. A recent opinion by state Attorney General Slade Gorton stated schooldistricts may rent surplus property to religious groups but the lease must not be for an "unreasonable"length of time in case the school later should need the property for another use. Although the opinionwas directed at public elementary and secondary schools, "there is guidance in this opinion thatapplies to other state institutions," Robert Patterson, assistant attorney general, said. If schoolproperty is leased to religious organizations then it must be "sufficiently remote from other schoolproperty ... to avoid the appearance of an endorsement of the religious activities ... and also prevent any sectarian influence," the attorney general's report stated. The issue of requiring rent from religiousgroups rose fall quarter when the AS considered including part of Amendment 34 of the stateconstitution in its recognition policy. The amendment reads, "No public money or property shall beappropriated for religious worship, exercise or instruction Currently, religious groups here do notreceive funds but do receive use of campus buildings free of charge. "To date, the groups have a semi-recognized status. In order to be recognized, they must receive funds," Clark said. "Even by justgiving them access to the buildings we are subsidizing them â€” to the tune of $10,000," Clark said.Seven active Christian groups estimated they would have to spend about $10,000 if they were required to pay rent, according to a recent AS survey. AS faculties representative, Kurt Hanson, said he thinkshe is the only board member who will vote against requiring to pay rent for the groups. "I don't think theAS Board of Directors should be addressing problems such as the separation of church and state. Itshould be left to the courts," he said. The groups, claiming membership of 500 students, are theAnanda Marga meditation group, the Baptist Student Union, the Campus Bible Fellowship, theCampus Christian Fel-jowship, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship and The Navigator.
