XXII BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 NO. 21 E IS STILL ON; M i r HAVE SIGNED UP School Annual Epitomizes all That is jrfest in School Life. ' The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best .in Normal School life. It is a record of achievement. Hundreds will keep and cherish it as a memorial of some of the happiest and finest days of their life. Everyone who has a hand in the task wants this year's book to be a monumental achievement, surpassing all previous attempts—a bood that, both in appearance and contents, all subsequent generations of students may strive in vain to equal. Two hundred fifty literary and illustrated pages bound in a beautiful blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and living record of Normal activities for 1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun. Eggert Burns and Robert Caulkins, Editor and Associate respectively, may never be literary genuises but they undoubtedly will put out a Year Book that will surpass both in size and quality any Annual ever put out by the Bellingham Normal. The Klipsun is put out. not in the interest of any individual nor any certain group of individuals but for the good of all the students of this school. As has been iterated and reiterated through the columns of this paper, the publishing of the Klipsun is a costly undertaking. Every student must put his HORACE RAHSKOPF, Debate Coach.

S-STORY TELLERS P DEBATE TEAM IS READY TO START For the past two weeks, members of the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club have contributed their talent to eight programs. They have told stories to P. T. A. meetings, local and also those of near-by communities and assisted at several assemblies and missionary meetings. From all reports the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1. This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision; so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position. Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency. The choice of a trained editor for a second term is a decided step toward a better type of school paper, a demand for which has been insistently expressed by students and faculty. B. S. N. S.

If you have one you are willing to lend, please report to Angus Bowiner immediately. Projects Attracting Attention. On Friday, February 23, students of the Normal will be given an opportunity to view the projects completed this quarter by students of the Industrial Are department. These projects will be on exhibit in room 108. BLUE AND WHITE BRING BACK THE STATE TITLE The results of the four games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had participated required all their pep and consequently they could not handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17. Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23. Normal, 44; Blaine H. S., 25.

The school which wins the largest number of votes from the nine judges at the three debates, is the winner for the year. The Bellingham affirmative team which debates Ellensbtirg here is composed of Christina. Peterson, Mildred Anderson and Lewis Arnold. The Bellingham team which goes to Cheney, consists of Rebecca Arnell, Frank D. Henderson, and Charles L. Simon son. They will be accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, debate coach, and Miss Mabel Shuey. This team expects to leave Bellingham on the afternoon train, Wednesday, February 28. The judges for the local debate with Ellensburg are: Professor Frank Laube, of the University of Washington; the Rev. Paul B. James, Christ Church, Seattle; and Judge Austin E, Griffiths, of the Superior Court of the State of Washington. B. S. N. S. The Campus Walk. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how long thou art today, I'm tardy every morning; I was tardy yesterday. T hurry up the stairway, I hasten up the street, But the bell has always rung when T reach the classroom seat. 0 campus w~alk, 0 campus walk, how long thou art today. The cold north wind is blowing and the sky is dark and grey. The ice is very slippery and my feet will go astray, 'Tis a perilous business I can say. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how brief thou art tonight. The tasks of day are over and the sun is put to flight, The moon has just arisen and the stars are shining too. Like eyes they are shining from the blue. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how happy I should be If your brief expanse would lengthen To a never-ending path, To a never-ending pathway only trod, by him and me, Oh, paradise on earth it would be! —E. D. T. B. S. N. S. The fresh spring breezes were blowing through the open windows of the school room, and George Washington was the momentous question in hand. "Why do you think George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'." Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny, "but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him." KLIPSUN DRIVE IS STILL ON; MANY HAVE SIGNED UP. (Continued from Page One) or her shoulder to the wheel and push with all the strength of the price of one Klipsun, $2.50. OLIVER LNUERSOLL, Business Manager. Miss Keeler Boosts Klipsun. "All live, energetic, enthusiastic, and active students should support all worthwhile school activities," said Miss Keeler recently. "The Klipsun is certainly worth while and I cannot imagine any student leaving this school without one." Mr. Klemme Wo Dead Wire. •'This year's. Klipsun will be my eight-tenth," said Mr. Klemme. "I have saved one every year and I certainly do not regret it." Mr. Bond "Signs Up." "Of course I'll sign up for a iKlipsun," and Mr. Bond had affixed his signature and was off. Mr. Kibbe Values Klipsun. "I am keeping a library of Klipsuns," said Mr. Kibbe. "I value them very highly, and have tried to keep one of each issue." B. S. N. S. THAT SERIOUS LOOK. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion. B. S. N. S.- A "Billet-Doux." She was a winsome country lass, So William on a brief vacation, The time more pleasantly to pass, Essayed flirtation. And while they strolled in twilight dim, As near the time of parting drew, Asked if she would have from him A "billet-doux." Now this simple maid of French knew naught, But doubting not 'twas something nice, Shyly she lifted her pretty head Her rosy lips together drew and coyly said, "Yes, Billy—do," ~ - - And William did.

S.— During the past few weeks there has been a general complaint among students To "the effect "that" "there' has" "not been a large enough supply of messengers. The Board of Control, last Monday, authorized Mr. Ford to increase the number of copies-of the Messenger to meet the demand. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 3 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23,1923 _ Z GIRLS HAVE FIRST GAME OF BASKETBALL MONDAY The first scheduled game of the girls' basketball was played Monday in the small gym, between the Alley Gang and Edens Hall. The game was interesting but one-sided; the Alley Gang team winning from the Edens Hall team by a score of 46 to 13. Remarkable team work was shown in the winning team. The guards took advantage of every opportunity to check the ball, and the forwards seemed to merely look at the ball to make a basket. The Edens Hall team was one chosen from girls who live in Edens Hall.

They seemed to float thru the mystic ether impelled by the rythmic throb of the music. The sleek-haired gentleman glanced confidently over the moving crowd, then down at his comely partner. Demurely she smiled back at him. All eyes were upon the pair. Who could they be? Was this some famous royal pair escaped by devious paths from the clutches of the raving reds of Russia? Could it be two at whose beck and call the most graceful dancers of an emipre once performed, now forced to entertain others for a mere pittance? No, such was not the case. Could it not then be two famous danssants stopping for a pleasant moment at the Bellingham Normal? Might not that flashing eye, those graceful movements belong to Mische Itoe himself? Might not the lithe lady be none other than the- one and only Madame Pavola ? No, it was none of these, it was actually Bill McNeil and Bee Anderson, showing the grace and form which won for them the prize trot Friday. The prize trot was such a success that it has been decided to continue it. The latest thing the social committee is considering is a prize for the whole quarter. A realty worth-whle reward will be given, the opinion so far favoring a watch. Position, grace, appearance, and general conduct on the dance floor will be the deciding factors. Bill and Bee have the inside track now, so the other Valentinos and Irene Castles will have to start early and avoid the rush. NORMAL GROCERY We Cater to Normal Student Trade.

Saturday night, February 17, the Phi-lomathean club of the Bellingham Normal School, held their annual banquet in the Pheasant Tea Rooms at 0:30 o'clock. To say the least, the banquet was a wonderful success and will long be remembered as a red letter day on each Philomathean's calendar of time. The Tea Rooms were very attractively decorated in the Philo colors, green and white, boxwood shrubs, and the Philo emblem, while pussy willows, green and white streamers, and green candles decorated the long white table. The five-course banquet dinner was proclaimed ''marvelous" and ••great" by 50 hungry Philomatheans, and each did healthy justice to it. At each plate was an attractive little place card containing a booklet which held the name and program and carried out the Philo emblem. After the banquet dinner a very interesting program was given as follows : Toastmaster Herbert Cederberg Song Donna ,K1 inker "Philo Husbands" Roswell Oliver Piano Solo Dorothy Clark "Philo Wives" Mrs. Sam Carver Group of Songs Margaret Saddler "Philo Students" Robert Tunst-all Duet Dorothy Clark, Byron Payne This annual banquet given by the Philos is always attended by a large number of alumni Philos who take this opportunity to get acquainted with the new Philo members; thus establishing a stronger union and good fellowship among all of the club members.

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs. Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple, as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature, and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth while. B. S. N. S.

Greater support and co-operation from the student body was stated as one of the things needed by the social committee. The committee hopes that more students will realize that it is not a mere.go-between but a body with a very definite mission. It is not a negative group trying to tell anyone what not to do, but is a very positive group, working toward the goal of the most and best social activities possible. Under the regime of this year's social committee a great deal has been done. An unusually large number, of dances have been fostered by the committee, and some actually given under its supervision, as the Friday afternoon dances. Play hours have been provided, that all may be entertained. In every way the committee has tried to aid and further social activities of all sorts, but it is willing to admit that more might be done. The best way to get more done is by co-operation from the student body. In the matter of dance posture, the best possible spirit has been shown. There has been a ready response to all requests for what few changes in posture and style the committee has deemed it wise to ask for; but on the other hand there has been a great fault of omission. People have been heard to mumble, "Why don't we have more of this? or better of that?" But when pinned to just what they want and how it can be secured, they don't know that. That the committee is open to suggestions and will work on them is shown by the way it took up and put into effect concrete suggestions that were made for better music on Fridays and Mondays. If you really want something and have some advice to offer, see the committee. Cooperation means bigger things with less work. Give the committee a helping hand. This social committee, under whom precedent on dance events is being made wants to set a standard for future events. —V. G. L. B. S. N. S.- HOW WELL CAN YOU SPELL? You may be clever and studious but if you can't spell correctly , you are like a violinist with one of his violin strings broken. Judge Edwin S. Thomas of Hartford, Conn., gave a spelling test to several government officials, lawyers, and big business men. The test consisted of ten words in common use. These words were: Supersede, innuendo, inoculate, rarefy, vilify, repellent, plaguy, embarrass, harass, and picnicking. These are all words that one can use in ordinary conversation without getting a reputation for having digested "Webster's knowledge. Yet not one of these business men could spell all ten correctly. SEE WORTH WHILE MOVIES. Are you careful to select moving pictures that are worth seeing? A great many of your opinions and ideas are unconsciously formed as a result of the movies you select as recreation. These opinions you, consequently, impart to your friends. It is of vast importance whether or not your opinions and ideas are the right and proper kind. See pictures that will benefit you morally and mentally. See pictures that will miake you a little better. In this way, by patronizing worth-while pictures, you yourself will help censor the wrong kind of movies. B.S. N. S. What does the beginning of the new quarter mean to you? Do you consider it as an opportunity to be made the most of, or do you consider it as one more quarter of necessary drudgery?

"An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water," states "Dynamite," famous endman in the W. A. A. minstrel show. Reveille Island is far more than that. It is one of the beauty spots to be seen in a trip to the head of Lake Wnatcom and it is the source of interesting tradition and probable historical facts. Reveille is situated a mile or so above Nbrmalstad and forms an added attraction to our eighty acres. Normal students will probably become very familiar with the island as the eighty becomes improved. The island rises high above the water in a betutiful dome, covered with evergreen trees and underbrush. The sides of the island slope abruptly into the lake, leaving no beach and adding to the beauty of its form. Two thrilling traditions are told of the island. Many, many years ago, when this country was first settled, by white people the Indians fought, hard for their hold on the territory. Their last stand was made upon this little island in the center of Lake Whatcom. The English soldiers besieged' the little tribe and after a plucky show of endurance, starvation threatened. The Indians, being true warriors, would not surrender and so one morning just as the sun was peeping over the surrounding hills, they silently threw themselves into the lake and sank out of sight. As the last man disappeared the sweet tones of the morning reveille floated across the still water from the English camp. The island has since borne the name of "Reveille." Over two hundred years ago the territory around Lake Whatcom was claimed by an Indian tribe as their hunting ground. Their t war-like neighbors desired this valuable ground and war ensued. The defending tribe secreted itself in the underbrush on the island. As the enemy approached in canoes some slight movement disclosed the hiding place of the Islanders. A furious fight followed, both tribes launched in canoes', sending arrows at their enemies and trying to tip their canoes. Many Indians from both sides were soon trashing around in the blood-stained Avater. Suddenly they were one and all drawn steadily under the water and their frenzied cries brought help from their friends. As they grasped the hands of their rescuers the pulling increased and the remaining canoes were capsized. One Indian alone escaped and spread the news of the dreadful undertow that surrounds the island. To this day no Indian of the Puget Sound tribes has been bribed, coaxed, threatened or persuaded in any manner to set foot in a boat on the waters of the "Devil's" Lake. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASinN^ .0/:: NormatSoto 'Mildred Boyd, Dorothy Austin,. an:l Loris Jacklin motored with friends to their homes; in Seattle for the. weekend.

Arrangements have been made so that her credits for this quarter will not be lost. It was hoped that a crowd could be gathered to attend the Washington State College Giee Club entertainment at Mt.

Miss Ke'eler and Miss Cummins en-tertaned for Dr. Nash Sunday evening by inviting in a number of his friends for a few hours of pleasant conversation.

"Will they all come? Did you see those funny little kid games on the tab'o. girls? Parehesi, table horseshoe, checkers, and lots' of others. I bet they'll have' a "good time, don't you? Miss Slmey said not to disarrange the furniture, .Agnes." Scene II. The scene, and the view is changed. The girls arc back from the party downstairs, and are interested in what is going on in the social hall. No one seems to be a bit sleepy.. "Goodness, is the faculty still there? I thought they'd gone. Is there any cake left? You' go and see, no one will see you, there are some girls in the kitchen, you can find put from them. You, couldn't get any? What a shame.

"Say, girls, run, here conies Miss Long and Mr. Philippi with the dishes. Don't let them catch us here." They, run down the back stairs. "My, that Avas a scare; I never ran down stairs so fast in my life. Well, I guess they are going. We can get back safely tliis way.' Yes, they are going! There are on'y two couples on the floor now, aren't there? That's Dr. Miller. I believe he's just learning. He is going to stay till the last dog is hung. He certainly is human. He has a good time, doesn't he?. There, the lights are out. Let's go and see if there is anything left." " The girls quietly approach the social hall, and finding all quiet they enter the room recently so merry. "I found a valentine. I. bet it was the first prize. Whoever won it was more interested in the dance than the prize, evidently." "Is there anything in the kitchen?". "Nothing but some lump sugar." "Oh, dear, a n d ! got so hungry watch- 'n lt;r Mr. Heckman dance!" "Let's go to bed; We don't need any devil's food anyway." "Good night, ladies; Good night ladies." The crowd disperses, and quiet reigns once more. -B. S. N. S. iTUDENT LOAN FUND EXPLAINED BY DR. MILLER Few of us.ever give a thought to the Student Loan Find. In fact a surprising number of students did not know that such a fund existed, until Dr. Miller spoke of it in assembly on Monday. At present, this fvnd exceeds $17,000. and in the last year, over two hundred students have received aid. This loan is for the sole purpose of he'ping students who can not otherwise graduate, or who are in serious financial difficulties, it is not for personal convenience, and is not a scho'arship fund. To receive this loan, the student must apply to the faculty committee. After the committee has approved, the loan mav then .be obtained at the registrar's office. Money will not be loaned to pjop'c who have poor grades, when someoir: with higher grades needs the help. Students are urged to piy b gt;ck this loan as quickly as possib'e. It is nr-t necessary to return the loan in one sum. B. S. N. S.- D'uiarhter: "A certain young man sent some flowers this morning." Mother: "Don't .say 'a certain young, man,' my dear.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS DIRECT FROM OLYMPIA A bill has been introduced into the legislature which will make the state normals, four year teachers' colleges. If the bill is passed, the normals wi'l then have power to grant degrees in Bachelor of Arts and teach major lines for the professional training of teachers, school superintendents and school supervisors. They would also be able to train high school teachers. This would undoubtedly increase the enrollment thereby' add to the importance and prestige. The teachers' pension was made state wide when it was passed by the" legislature, last week. This is the same law which is in practice in some of the larger cities. B. S. N.

Title—The Unexpected Reply. The lesson in picture appreciation that I observed was in splendid progress. The children were able to name at on;e every picture that was described to them. F'n-ally "The Shepherd's Star" was described to the class and everyone named it correctly. The the pleased and enthusiastic teacher asked, "Now why are you so sure it was 'The Shepherd's Star' and not the "Song of the Lark?" They are very much alike and can be easily confused." • • . ' Up shot Doris' hand, and she was accordingly called upon. "It would have to be "The Shepherd's Star" because the "Song of the Lark" isn't here anymore. You took it away yesterday." -—-Order Your Klipsun Carl (passionately): "Margaret, darling, I have a secret to whisper into your ear—where is it?" I wonder if there is anyone in school who does not know the women's assistant physical education director? I'm sure everyone has missed something arid' someone who is an inspiration arid guide to higher things if they do not. N,o one '.would thnk we have such a noteworthy character in our midst as Miss Regina Frank. •"-;'.•'; Miss Frank is a graduate of the Rel-lingham State Normal school; and of the American College of Physical Education, Chicago, Illinois. " While in this Chicago school of physical educaton, Miss Frank was a leader in all sports. In the fall term the girls turn out for field hockey and soccer—the teams are chosen in November and all the games are inter-class games. In the winter the girls turned out for vol-, ley ball. Miss Frank was a member of each team. Volley ball is the popular game in the east, and the American P.. E. College entered the Chicago tournament. Thirteen games were played and in each the Chicago College of Physical Education wei'e victorious, and won the gold cup trophy which was offered by the Amateur Athletic Federation. In the spring, indoor baseball, track horseback riding and swimming were the sports which Miss Frank also took; up. . An honor emblem is offered by the Chicago Physical Education college for. the two best all ''around athletes in the school. We are not surprised to learn that Miss Frank was one of the two girls winning the honor emblem.. An all around athlete, is a wonderful asset to any school and more so when they can be a guide for other girls in being all round athletes also, and we count ourselves fortunate in having Miss Frank as our assistant physical education director.

There was a superfluity of smiles and good cheer throughout their whole domain. Now, what was the meaning of all this excitement? It was for no other reason than that the pupils felt the presence of Dan Cupid flitting around the halls and in their class rooms. Dan Cupid was personified and represented by the large number of pupils who, with a mysterious letter or package in their hand would direct their footsteps to a certain large box placed upon a "pedestal" in one corner of the hallways. This "postoffice" was filled to overflowing with letters and packages sealed with red hearts the most of which bore the title "To My Valentine." What was inside of the envelopes we can only guess, but at any rate they all bore the good will and loving wishes of Dan Cupid on Valentine's Day. B. S. N.

Stanford University, Feb. 12. Hazing died a sudden death at Stanford. Tom Irwin, editor of the Daily Palo Alto, decided at the time he received his hazing when a Freshman at Stanford, that he would go on the trail of partakers of these yearly festivities or "spanking bees." On January 31, of this year, Mr. Irwin caught seven Sophomores of Erims hall red-handed. The hall was given the alternative of agreeing to abandon the traditional method of discipline and adopt a system of Senior control, or of having exa*mples made of the seven. The sophomores decided to discontinue their methods . Their decision was also followed by Sequoit hall. The Chinook, Seattle: West Seattle High is boosting for cleanliness and asks: "What do you do with your wastepaper ?" "'What do you do with the papers when you clean out your lockers?" " Do you leave them lying around or do you put them away." We can honestly say that our halls, locker rooms are respectable as far as cleanliness is concerned and hope to keep them that way. The Ocean Breeze, Aberdeen: The editor comments upon success being achieved only by work. A great personality or a strong will power will not gain success for you unless you back up either of these two qualities with hard work. A person who may lack a strong personality and who is very meek may rise into the limelight if he works. Too many people are afraid of their tasks and shirk doing them. And according to the editorial if you are one of the latter join Coue's followers and say to yourself every morning, "I like Work." ' B. S. JST. S. The Right Size. It is said that once, when President Washing-ton was riding near Washington City, with a party of gentlemen, their horses leaped a rock fence: the last steed over kicked off several stones. "Better replace those," suggested the general. "Oh, someone will do that!" was the careless reply. When the riding party disbanded, Washington turned his horse, and rode back the way they had come; dismounting, he carefully replaced the stones. "Oh, general!" chattered a friend who came along, "you are too big to be doing that!" "Oh, no," replied Washington, as he stood gravely inspecting his work. "I am just the right size." HOTEL LEOPOLD LUNCHEON 60c Table d'Hote Dinner $1.00 Sam Rathman's Orchestra 6 to 8 p. m. Special Sunday Evening Dinner $1.25 BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE DISCUSS GIRLS' FINANCES An enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday, February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c, nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II. Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5. (Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1) $2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10. Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls. The sixth annual banquet of the Business Girls' League will be held March 24th at the Normal. B. S. N. S. In a grade school in a western city, on the 22nd of February, a teacher asked this question: "Who can tell me whose birthday this is?" A girl rose timidly. "Well, Margaret, you may tell us," said the teacher. "Mine," came the unexpected reply. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET . A.

The Alkisiah club banquet, which was held at the Hotel Leopold Friday evening, was voted a complete success by all members present. Covers were laid for forty-five.' A color scheme of purple and gold the club colors, was effectively carried out KILAUEA Speaking of Dante's "Inferno," Mrs. Bunting thinks she has had a glimpse of it. To standupon a narrow ledge one hundred feet above a steaming cauldron of fiery red molten lava, is a thrilling experience, but—it is at the same time terrible in its awful beauty. At least Mrs. Bunting so discovered when she watched, fascinated, the seething lava of (Kilauea volcano on the largest island of the Hawaiian group, steadily rise until it overflowed the mouth of the pit. As you probably know, lava in the molten stage, flows with about the same consistency- as -molasses: conse quentlv, one can back up before it. "However," laughed Mrs. Buntiny, "one usuallv keeps a respectful distance. You know.' it's really hot." At frequent intervals fountains of fire caused by currents, send spouts like sky rockets into the air. thus causing the most brilliant fireworks and giving an intense and lurid glow sometimes as high as one mile above the crater. It was upon April 3. 1921,' that Mrs. Bunting, with a small party, visited Kilauea volcano. Arrivinsr at noon they found the lava about one hundred feet below the narrow ledge upon Avhich they first ventured out to look down into that turmoil of moving lava. It rose steadily until it had overflowed the rim bv one mile at two o'clock in the morn-ing. "Then." said Mrs. Bunting, "we left, only to find in the morning that the flow had covered two and one-half miles and had reached the foot of the cliff, upon which stood the volcano house or inn. According to Professor Jaeger, the voleanolosrist who lives there, it was the highest and most rapid recorded rise in fortv years." As the fiery cataract flows out. ser-pertine and irregular, from its crater, the lava glowed darkly red thru the crust formed bv the contact with cooler air. The horrible beauty of this molten river was further accentuated by the strong and suffocating gases escaping with a hissing murmur from the lava pit and thru the chasms of the mountain. Upon the lake of fire float two detached islands used, much as a guage. to measure the rise and fall of the lava. These islands, it is said, made their appearance in a most unique way. Without apparent reason the two shot up from the depths of the lava, and since have remained. One of the islands has with daffodils and tulle. The favors were tiny purple booklets filled with candies. May Phinney acted as toastmistress. The program of the evening consisted of toasts on the club traditions. Several musical selections were also given. a cone-like cave resembling the mouth of a whale. When currents from different directions run into the cave, it seems as if the wnale cannot swallow so spurts out the lava with the most orilliant gushes. The HaAvaiians have a beautiful myth woven about .the volcano. Acordingc to the earliest legends, Pele (Pili), the goddess of fire. dAvells here. When she is happiest the gloAV above the volcano is brightest and the lava is the highest. About the volcano is found Pele's hair. Clinging to rocks about the mountain it resembles spun glass, and is the result of molten lava blown and hardened by the Avind. Legends further relate how the small, bright stones found here and there in the lava are Pele's tears. They are of topaz color and when hard enough are used for jewels. "When Ave Avent up the mountain to the pit," said Mrs. Bunting. "Ave passed over a Avell-marked trail OArer the old lava, called pahoehoe, but Ave did not return the same wav for the simple reason that we couldn't. NeAv lava (aa) had completely covered the trail and since the crusted surface Avas not' quar-anteed to remain surface if a step Avere taken upon it, Ave returned bv auto road, a detour of seven miles, to the inn."

FRESHMEN WIN KLINE CUP GAME (Continued from Page One) first /Kline Cup game. The Sophomores hold the cup at present, so it was with blood boiling that the Freshies entered the game. From the first toss-up the spectators knew that it was to be a hard fought game. At the close of the first quarter the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of the Sophs. During the second quarter the Freshies tried to make up the two scores of the previous quarter but failed. By the end of the half the score was 16 to 14 still in favor of the Sophomores. During the intermission of halves, however, the Freshies were revived or perhaps they were just getting warmed up, for by the close of the third quarter they; held the highest score, 24 to 18. . Too; much credit could not be given Agnes Tweit for her creditable playing. "Aggie" seemed to have laid a charm over the ball and basket; so rapidly did she run up the score during the latter part of the third quarter. The Sophomores did some notable team work during the last quarter, their star being Mollie Curtis. But for all the attempts they could not cover up the lost scores and the game ended with a final score of 29 to 24 in favor of the Freshmen.

A joint student-administration committee will submit arecommendation to acting Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs Peter Harris by the end of next week. If Harris agrees with the recommendation, bidding will open to local banks Jan. 22.Western officials have approached three area banks, Bel-lingham National Bank, WhatcomEducational Credit Union and U.S. Bank Corporation, parent company to ONB, with tentative proposals. While BNB representatives expressed no interest in the venture, Carlson said, WECU and ONB andother interested parties are expected to submit proposals to Western.

After considering an appeal broughtby Western's men's rugby club, Associated Students Adviser Jack Smith chose to uphold Club SportsAdviser Marie Sather's Nov. 5 decision to suspend the team.- Smith, however, lightened the punishment. Steve Biggs, team president, said he will appeal to higher university officials and the American CivilLiberties Union. "Rugby funding comes out of our money as students, from the student activities fund,and that's one reason why it should be up to us as students to make these kind of decisions," Biggssaid. Smith sent a memo to Biggs Nov. 19 stating that the team is suspended through fall quarter,1988, and may apply for reinstatement in winter, 1989. Biggs appealed Sather's decision tosuspend the club through the 1988-89 school year. Biggs claimed article five of the Club Sport Council'sconstitution states authority to suspend teams rests with the council. As part of the appeal process,Smith requested Sather call a meeting of the council and have members vote on the issue. The councilmet Nov. 17 in a closed meeting and voted 7-5 in favor of the suspension. The constitution states athree-fourths majority is required to suspend a team, but Smith's memo stated that "a 7-5 majority is aclear indication to the administration that the above action is necessary." Biggs said he plans toappeal Smith's decision to Saundra Taylor, vice president for student affairs. He said he also plans tocontact an area American Civil Liberties Union representative to find out more about the validity of theteam's claim that proper procedure was violated in the decision. He said unless it is specifically stated that scmeone else has the power to decide the rugby club's Please see RUGBY, p.15 DLI hearsWestern appeal of asbestos violations fine By ANDREA LIGHTBURNE staff reporter The StateDepartment of Labor and Industries began hearing, Tuesday, Western's appeal of $3,700 in fines itreceived in August for the handling of asbestos in Carver Gym. The DLI will continue to heartestimony from representatives from the state department and trade and custodial union and Westernofficials Dec. 17 before reaching a decision. The first four violations were addressed at Tuesday's hearing and the remainder will be discussed at the second. Western was cited for 19 violations of the state'sasbestos removal code for the handling of asbestos during a floor tile removal and replacement project.Workers sanded the existing tile with burnishing machines using 20 weight sandpaper. The tilescontained asbestos and the sanding broke the encapsulated asbestos allowing it to be released into theair. The state department ordered the gym closed after it conducted tests which disclosed high levels of asbestos. The gym was not closed immediately but instead remained open until departmentinvestigator Robert Parker threatened to close the gym with a court order. Western closed the gymand a professional asbestos removal company came in and cleaned up the area. Western officialsthought the procedure was safe and did not believe that the sanding would release the asbestos into theair. Officials thought the procedure of closing the gym was confusing. Three of the fines were classified as "serious." Management did not provide proper respirators for the workers on the project, failed toinform the custodians after the work area was identified as hazardous and allowed them to continue their regular cleanup without safety equipment. Bill Chervenock, campus union representative, said the finaldecision for DLI fine is to be made by a DLI hearing examiner. Chervenock, who attended the hearing,said several violations may be supported by the examiner because Western officials knew tilescontained asbestos before sanding. ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Bank machine bids open soon Continued fromCASH, p.1 the committee's suggestions, which Carlson said is not likely, the recommendation will bereturned for revision. The committee, chaired by Vice President for Student Affairs Saundra Taylor, iscomprised of Wood, AS Activities Director Trent Wheatley, Viking Union Director Jack Smith, Assistant Controller Ron Ballough and Carlson. Originally, the recommendation was to be approved inNovember by the late Vice President for Business Financial Affairs Donald Cole. The bank machine was to begin operating by the end of January. Action on the bank machine was delayed by Cole's death last month when a plane carrying him, President G. Robert Ross and Vice President for University Ad-vancement Jeanene DeLille crashed. The recommendation outlines the kinds of services needed in anon-campus bank machine, how AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETYÂ® revenue from the machine -- if any- would be divided, and what changes in the Plaza Cashier operations would be necessary toaccommodate the bank machine, Carlson said. Although she would give no details until therecommendation receives formal approval, Carlson said revenues derived from each bank machinetransaction would be divided between the general university fund and the Associated Students non-profit scholarship fund. Included in the committee's considerations are the potential ramifications of abank machine to the Plaza Cashier. Because the bank machine will draw some customers away fromthe Plaza Cashier, it will be necessary to shorten the number of hours the business is open to thepublic, Carlson said. Although the installation of the bank machine is expected to affect the flow ofmoney across the university's cashier counter to an annual loss of between $10,000 and $15,000,Carlson said she ex-f G 6 t Advertise } I Lucky %Z I ( ^ 6 7 6 - 3 1 6 1 J pects the bank machine alsowill operate at a deficit. "At a cost of 10 cents per transaction, the ATM would have to be in operation 12 hours a day, with transactions every three minutes, in order to break even," Carlson said. The cost ofbreaking even is about $14,000, the estimated price of the purchase and upkeep of a bank machine, butthe overall benefits and convenience of the service make it "a good idea," she said. The university,however, is hoping to secure a deal where a bank would purchase and install a free-standing machine inthe Viking Union lobby in return for a percentage of transaction revenues and the additional patronagethe bank might receive from Western students. Carlson said even though it is difficult for a single bankmachine to move into the black, banking institutions consider the overall operation of automatic tellers to be profitable.

SexInformation Center coordinator Bob Olsen left the Nov. 25 meeting disgruntled. "It seemed like (thename change) was going fine, but now it seems like it backfired. "I don't care what the name is now."The disagreement between board members and t he c e n t e r ' s coordinators prompted the board toset a public hearing for the second week in January. Tanya Bradford, assistant coordinator of the SexInformation Center, proposed the center's name be changed to Sexual Awareness Center. Bradfordreceived unanimous approval for the change from the Human Resource Advisory Council. HRACcomprises representatives from the eight AS offices in the Viking Union. The Activities Council alsoapproved the name change unanimously. Bradford said the new name would help disband the belief thatthe center just helped people learn about sexual intercourse. "We do more than talk about sex, buttalk about a different issues of sexuality," Bradford said. She said the center helps people cope withattitudes, dreams and relationships. But some board members at the meeting didn't agree with themotion to change the name to Sexual Awareness Center. "I think it's important we pick the best title,"Trent Wheatley, board member said. "I can't support this motion." Board member Jeff Chandler agreedwith Wheatley. "I think it's incredibly important that it is explicit we convey certain connotations to focuson dissemination of information," Chandler said. Chandler moved to amend the motion by substitutingthe name Human Sexuality Information Center for Sexual Awareness Center. Bradford didn't expect theboard's proposal. "I don't like you to make a name change for us," Bradford told the board. "If you don'twant a change, say so, but we aren't going to play games all year." "This isn't a game," Chandler said."We need student info (to make an informed decision)," he said. "I don't think we have student info, I think you're the one playing the game." "What do you require?" Bradford said. "Do you want 9,000students commenting on the name?" Wheatley said he didn't know the best way to get studentcomment. "But I think there's a better way," he said. The board voted on the amendment to change thename to Human Sexuality Information Center. The amendment failed, 5-2, with Chandler and Wheatleyvoting for the amendment. Bob Olsen, coordinator of the center, said a better name for the center wouldbe Human Sexuality Center. "To hell with 'awareness.' Excuse my French," Olsen said. "Who cares how many adjectives you throw in. It's a center to talk about human sexuality." Board members LisbethGordon and Elizabeth Lovett then proposed another name for the center. "You need to provide as muchinformation in the title and be less threatening," Gordon said. "Call it the Sexual Awareness ResourceCenter." Lovett then moved to amend the main motion to call the center the Sexual AwarenessResource Center. "It's just these nine people to decide the office title?" Bradford said. "Resource sounds like window dressing to me. If that is what it takes to get on with life, fine. "There's a power struggle here and I don't want my office the puppet of a power struggle," Bradford told the board. Board membersdisagreed. "I don't see how there can be a power struggle," Wheatley said. "There are nine differentpeople on the board." Chris Feiring, coordinator of the Men's Resource Center, said the board shoulddiscuss the change with student input. "If this motion fails I would support having another boardmeeting to discuss," Feiring said. Chandler moved to table the matter until the second Wednesday inJanuary. The board approved the motion to table the issue. Monday Bradford said she would continue the process of the name change.

The board approved five recommendations at its Nov. 11 meeting, which will bepassed on to the state legislature's special supplementary budget session agenda in January, ASPresident Dan Wood said. "(This action) does have an impact," Wood said. "It tells legislators whatstudents want. All issues are addressed, but not all to our satisfaction." The Legislative andCommunity Affairs Council, an advisory body to the AS, began researching university needs in Octoberand came up with nine position statements. The only item proposed for the legislative agenda at theAS meeting that wasn't accepted was a $250,000 request to begin construction of a new campusdaycare center. Board members said the legislature is already committed and the request would onlybother the legislators. Approved by the board were: a proposal allowing disabled students to park free on campus; a request to increase the per-student budget allocation for Western to a level comparable toother state-supported universities and a proposed increase of minority students through recruitmentand retention programs. Also sought from the state were: an increase in the legislature-imposedstudent enrollment lid and a change in the state definition of an "independent student" to the federaldefinition, thereby relaxing the current standards of financial aid eligibility. Wood said the AS will lobbyduring the special session. "We're working on another Descend Olympia," he said, adding, last year'spilgrimage to the state capitol was a success. "We're not likely to get money out of them." Woodsaid. About 50 students wearing Western sweatshirts distributed information packets to legislators, he said. "It looked like hundreds of us were there," Wood said. "A mass of Western students swarmingon the capitol." Despite the planned lobbying efforts, Wood was not optimistic about the chances ofsqueezing the desired funds from the legislature. Trustees delay decision on guns for University PoliceA decision to arm University Police won't be brought to the Board of Trustees until after January.Because of the Nov. 4 plane crash, killing President G. Robert Ross and two vice presidents, theTrustees have postponed the decision to arm the officers, said Lt. Chuck Page. The Trustees coulddecide the matter at the next meeting, Page said. The meeting would probably be toward the end ofJanuary or beginning of February. Associated Students President Dan Wood said at Wednesday's AS Board meeting the decision may be made later if students are called to vote on the issue in a s p ec i al referendum. The students' vote would be submitted to the trustees to assist in their decision-making. University Police presented a nine-page report to the trustees at a Sept. 3 meeting requesting the police be armed with guns. Western's Public Safety Assistants, known as greencoats, are notincluded in the proposal. The campus force made a similar request in October 1980. The Board ofTrustees denied the request. Trustees consider AIDS policy By ALANA WARNER staff reporterStudents or teachers with AIDS won't be kept from Western's campus according to a policy adoptedby the Board of Trustees Thursday. Two related policies concerning AIDS and other communicablediseases were presented to Western's acting president Al Froderberg at the meeting at EverettCommunity College. After consulting health associations, the Safety Committee, which prepared theAIDS policy, found that because the AIDS virus cannot be contracted from casual contact, victimssuffering from the disease should not be excluded from campus employment and activities. The policy states that victims infected with the deadly virus "do not represent a threat to the public health of thecampus community." The Safety Committee's policy on communicable diseases proposes thatWestern provide "accurate and objective educational information" on communicable diseases, aswell as clinical services and referrals. If Western's president approves these policies at anundesignated future date, the responsibility of implementing the policies will be assigned toWestern's vice presidents. In other trustee business, a report on a proposed one dollar contribution to the Student Loan Fund as part of students' total registration fee was also read to the board. Afterreviewing the current status of the Student Loan Fund, Vice President/Dean of Student Affairs SaundraTaylor and Associated Students President Dan Wood discovered that the fund is meeting its needsand does not require increased financing. The proposition was dismissed. Also on the agenda was a $39,000 land acquisition, which the board passed. The property, l o c a t e d at 25th and Bill McDonald Parkway, will be financed by funds appropriated for real estate purchase. The board approved theproposition that both the men's and women's tennis clubs be given varsity status on a two-year trialbasis.

The task seemed simpleenough. Sex Information Center assistant coordinator Tanya Bradford wanted AS approval to change thename from the Sex Information Center to the Sexual Awareness Center. But instead she got anunexpected hour of bantering over sexual semantics with the board, leaving her ready to pull her hairout. The board was concerned the name might be "too threatening," or misleading in some other way. Iteven went as far as to move to change the name to the Human Sexuality Information Center. As if thiswasn't enough attention given to this issue of questionable importance, the board made no decision andinstead put off the decision until January. Understandably, Bradford was not happy with the surprisepower struggle. "If you don't want a change, say so, but we aren't going to play games all year," she said. Here. Here. The board's concerns are well founded, but it is abusing its authority if it considers itselfmore qualified to decide the most accurate name of the center. The proposed name was good enough forthe Human Resources Advisory Council and the Activities Council, which already OK'd it, and nobody ismore qualified to decide the best name for the Sex Information Center than the employees of the SexInformation Center. The name change should be a minor issue receiving no more than a passingrecognition before moving on to more important matters. The board has made a mistake in insisting onmaking a major issue of it, when it should have trusted the judgment of the center and approved itsrequest, saving both sides a lot of frustration. Reagan, Don't pull out of agreement now Aweek beforePresident Ronald Reagan's summit meeting with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev, Reagan has accused the Soviets of violating the 1972 Antibal-listic Missile Treaty â€” an accusation the Sovietsdeny. The president made the accusation, involving the moving of two old, inconsequential radars, beforeaccepting a Soviet invitation to inspect the sites in question and against the wishes of the StateDepartment. Reagan's insistence on prematurely making the accusation about something so trivial maymean he plans to use it as an excuse to not sign the treaty. The treaty, set to be signed next week inWashington, D.C., would eliminate medium- and shorter-range missiles. "...Having come (out) with it, wehave given additional ammunition to the critics who make the charge that we should not sign and ratifythe treaty," an unnamed administration official was quoted as saying in Vie New York Times. Using the accusation as an excuse would not be a supris-ing move for this president, who opposed SALT I and IIand violated SALT II with the deployment of cruise missiles on B- 52 bombers one year ago. Buthopefully it will be a move Reagan will not make. Reagan has yet to prove to the world he's sincere in hiscall for peace. Signing the peace treaty will be a step in that direction. w^mmm^um Editorials reflect themajority opinion of The Front editorial board.

Merry Christmas. It's time again for merry souls to revert to the joyous traditional values of yesterdecade. And what better place than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to bring good oPAmerican values to our homes, with the help of Isotoner gloves, McDonalds and Coc-a-CoIa. Becauseyou, you're the one. Ah, remember those important values we learned as children. I'm glad I knowwhat's important in life. The Oakridge Boys reminded me of what's important as they glided down acrowded New York street during the parade. "Oh baby, I want to love, squeeze you," the group sang,while the outline of a red heart pulsated on the television screen. "Me and you baby are going to makesweet love, baby, in my peekup truck." Kind of makes you all warm and gooshy inside, just likegrandma's fresh-baked cookies. Yummm. A tear of Yuletide joy came to my eye as I saw a 65-footBetty Boop balloon bob between build- DAVE CUILLIER staff reporter mss. Parade commentatorWillard Scott couldn't have worded it better when he said, "She measures 34-24-36, but that's in feet!Va-va-va boom! That's my kind of woman!" Gee, Willard, you crack me up. I was touched later in the pa rade when the Rags-to-Riches kids sung of how much fun it is to be in school. "I like math andscience," sang one of the male characters. "I like writing, and home ec! Hee, hee, hee!" sang one of the female characters while holding a pie. Just like Mary Sue from high school, I thought. Ah, the good oPdays. Barbie and the Rockers, lovely Pia Zadora and other well-known pinnacles of purity alsoblessed our televisions. A high point of the parade for me was when Captain America fried DoctorDoom with 10,000 volts of electricity. It takes grand events like the Macy's Parade to keep our greatAmer'c'n values strong. Sex. Riches. Power. Glitter. Give it all to me. Forget reading, forget liberal arts,just give me a Porsche 924, a hot looking babe for a wife and a job that hands me a six-digit salary.Hey, babes, when I'm famous you'll see me in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, between theCoke and McDonald's commercials. I'll be the one riding the Spuds McKenzie float (made from twomillion Bud Light bottle caps), straddled by two sultry pieces of womanhood while lip-syncing DireStrait's "Money for Nothing." Thanks to television media fluff, me and millions of other dudes willcontinue to hold onto those values dear to our hearts. Heck yeah. We have a responsibility Civil rightsfight mustn't end The 1960s were an awakening to a new social consciousness. Black rights, women's rights, homosexual rights were all discovered. It wasn't that the problems didn't exist before that time, but it was at this time humankind became aware of the injustices. Waking up to a clearlyintolerable reality caused a whole generation to revolt, to demand true justice and true freedom. Sothe hippies said "Hell no, we won't go" to a lot of things: the Vietnam War, segregation, enslaving ofwomen and treating people as less than human. Society breathed a sigh of relief and everything is OK ... right? Wrong! Everything is not OK. People are dying in the streets, sleeping in cardboard boxes,SHARI WALTON staff reporter freezing to death. One out of every three women will be sexuallyassaulted in her lifetime. People with different sexual preferences are "fag bashed" by self-righteousidiots believing they are doing society a favor. These things don't happen monthly, or even daily. Theyhappen by the hour and by the minute. Still some are saying nothing is wrong, all the battles are won; people of color, women and sexual minorities have achieved equality with the rest of us. The reality of injustice still exists, but it has been discredited by our ignorance and apathetic attitude. I knowyou've heard it before. I have too. "Why is this generation so apathetic? They just don't care, theseyoung people today." Sadly, it's true. We try not to think about social injustices. It's easier to climb intoour car, travel to our heated apartments, cook dinner, study and climb into our warm bed. Whathappened? Maybe it just got so bad we all decided to give up, or maybe we decided it wasn't worth it.We must not allow ourselves to be so ignorant as to believe a certain amount of injustice is inevitable,or even desirable. We are the future. It is time we own up to that responsibility. ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 WESTERN FRONT 7 Letters The Front welcomes letters about all pointsof yiew. Address correspbriT dence to the opinion editor. College Hall 09. Letters must be typed ,double-spaced and limited to no more than 300 words. The Front will not accept hand-written letters forpublication. Letters must includf the: Reilly hecklers shoot own foot The Front, As a proponent of thepeace movement in North America and as an advocate of human rights action by North Americans inCentral America, I am embarrassed by the reactionaries within the movement. On Thursday evening,one Col. Peter Reilly from the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy gave a 45-minute, pro-Contra pep rally. To be sure, Colonel Reilly is a (moderately effective) professional propagandist who is being paid by the Reagan administration to promote its peculiar brand of democracy in CentralAmerica. His particular choice of quotes and statistics is subject to interpretation by each individualcapable of critical thought. Indeed, we are each entitled to our own opinions. But what irked me morethan any official rhetoric was the outright inconsiderate reactionism that took place during the talk bymembers of the audience. To rebut Reilly's interpretation of the facts by reactionaries with inter-ruptiveoutbursts does little more than erode the credibility of the peace movement. There is always acontingent of people who have not quite made, up their minds on an issue one way or the other, andundoubtedly Reilly and his cohorts are pleased to see the peace movement sending recruits to theright. Therefore, I think if the people in the peace movement would only get wise to the reality of publicrelations, instead of scaring people away with reactionism, their efforts would surely wax moreeffective. Graham Shuley Thank you to relatives, others The Front, We wish to express appreciationfor all the support and friendship we have received from our f r i e n d s , r e l a t i v e s andacquaintances and so many of T/s passengers and fellow pilots.

Dwrell and Gloria Ilardan Quit kicking the damn doors open TheFront, Several weeks ago (Nov. 11) you ran a letter by Jeffery C.

I was so moved by your letter I have acquired,through a very kind and sympathetic staff member, some information about these doors. In a nutshell,the hydraulic opener and installation of the whole apparatus costs $3,000 to $4,000 a piece. Thehydraulic opener contains gears that wear with usage â€” this is what is most expensive to repair. Ofcourse, all repair costs eventually circle around to the students. Also, the opening mechanism (thebox equipped with the red button) gets thrashed around due to items other than fingers pushing it â€”items such as notebooks, pencils and feet. These doors serve a useful and noble purpose, and for that, I like them. But as for you people who are just too damn lazy and can't even open the door by yourself... Bnice Saijeant SFHL force feeds morality The Front, To start with the record straight, I am employedby the Women's Center, I am pro-choice and I have read the letters in defense of Student's for HumanLife with anger and frustration. I recently staffed an information table that provided literature concerning the "gag rules" the Reagan administration is tying to amend to Title X. I was unfortunately located nextto the Students for Human Life booth. In my three hours there, both women staffing that booth tried toengage me in debate. I told both women I was there to provide information and not to debate with them.They ignored my request and proceeded to harass me and to question my morality and my religiousbeliefs. One of the women told me she was a psychology major (in the course of telling me howabortion wreaks mental havoc on the women who have them). I did not discuss with her the mentaldistress of having or being an unwanted child. But I wondered how many guilt trips this morally pure woman would lay on her patients in the course of her career. The president of this organization said in her letter of Nov. 20 that contraceptives are "too diverse a subject" for them to handle correctly, yet sheinserts that they want to educate the campus on the enormous and diverse issues of abortion, suicide,infaticide and euthanasia. From my many encounters with SFHL, I believe what they actually want to dois impose their morality on anyone who will listen. She went on to say "the organization takes nostand on abstinence, pre-marital or marital sex," but the individuals that make up the organization seewith one and the same eye. Ms. Hetherington is playing with semantics. An organization is made up ofindividuals with like ideas. I am for human life - I don't know many who aren't, with the exception of theReagan administration â€” I am simply for the best human life possible. I support what I believe in andonly expound on my views when asked (or infuriated enough to defend them). I would encourage anystudents interested in current birth control information (which takes up surprisingly little space), tovisit the Sex Information Center or the Women's Center. We are happy to help and have many resources available. And we only give our opinions if you want them. Laura Boyhton-Myers Front proves itsignorance again The Front, Thank you for providing the perfect ending to Power and Sex week. I am alltoo familiar with the Front to think that its staff members would be bright enough to realize what theywere actually doing, so I'll spell it out for you. Your editorial on the men's rugby issue epitomized theprimary reason we even have to have power and sex awareness week on a university campus:rampant IGNORANCE. The Front staff members, and much of this campus community (with theexception of an occ a s i o n a l e n l i g h t e n e d administrator), has failed to identify the entiremen's rugby team as the power and sex issue it truly is. The men on the rugby team have no concept ofwhat it might be like to encounter large male intruders in their home. They are large males. But femaleshave an entirely different perspective; we know what it is to be confronted by someone 6-foot, 190pounds when we stand maybe 5 feet 6 inches and weigh significantly less. Intimidating. The womanfrom the residence halls who was pushed down and generally abused by identified members of themen's rugby team didn't press charges. While I don't agree with her decision, I can empathize with herfear. She may have succeeded in identifying and prosecuting one or two perpetrators of violence, butthat leaves at least 25 who will know her name as well as her place of residence, 25 who have alreadyproven that they are not afraid to unlawfully enter and destroy another person's home. The men's rugby team has a history of malicious acts of destruction and abuse of alcohol. If only three of the menidentified in the residence halls rampage were rugby team members, then three is enough to convict the entire team. They knew they were on proverbial thin ice. Who wants this campus to be represented by a bunch of thugs? Obviously, the Front doesn't mind. But then, its ignorance is already well established. No Respect Intended Pamela S. Helberg Wars are useful, you homo commie The Front, Mr.Bokamper and Porter, Porter, I didn't miss your points. It's just that in actual fact they are not points atall, but only hopeful stabs in the dark generated by a childlike rebellion from acceptance of the harshrealities of the world. You're so convinced you can change the world, but don't have the perseverance todeal with even a single person. It's pathetic, really, and I feel a great compassion that your hopesmust inevitably come to naught. Apparently you've found yourself unable to deliver the proofs that Irequested of the efficacy of your dreams for world peace. I have no such problem justifying my ownstance: The freedom you exercise when you pick up your pen was born in war. The removal of the yokeof the Samuri from the Japanese neck came from war. The termination of the Nazi death camps camefrom war. Despite your contention that war has never solved anything, history is rife with incidents thatprove it has, and repeatedly. We aren't any smarter or wiser than all those good men throughout thecenturies. Unhappily, it is not as simple as you seem to believe to live in arcadian peace. If it were, thelast war would have been so far distant in the past we wouldn't even have a word for it, so heartfelt andeternal is mankind's wish for security and tranquility. Now, Porter, I don't advocate war for frivolousreasons. I do say that defending yourself is noble and righteous and that to do less is ignoble andshameful. It is weak. Of course, try to be reasonable, go the extra mile, but have the intelligence torealize it isn't always going to work. We are substantially in agreement, you and I, but you have forgotten a few critical factors that leave your equation fatally unbalanced. Our hope for survival demands we beready to deal with the mean-spirited tyrants who are all too often inflicted upon mankind. Bokamper, your insistance upon the right to submit hazy, incoherent letters for publication places the reponsibility forany misinterpretation of them squarely upon your own narrow shoulders. Further, your motivation forinserting your weird ravings about depraved sex into a discourse about the merits of self defense andcivility eludes me. It's difficult to determine whether your obsession with perversion stems from yourown suppressed homosexual tendencies or some crypto-neo-fascist lunacy. Or both. And if pointingout the glories of an enemy nation vis-a-vis your own country isn't being an apologist, the compilers ofdictionaries are going to have to revise their definition of the word. If you look like a duck and quacklike a duck, then you are a Gorbachev groupie. Dennis K. Ogden One last try to reform Kaplan TheFront, In his latest letter (Nov. 17), Edward Kaplan has another go at proving his "point" â€” which we"persist in missing" â€” that fascism and socialism are alike. We are now somewhat far afield from hisoriginal contention; his current argument seems to be that Mussolini and Hitler were actuallysocialists at heart. Mr. Kaplan says we "concede Mussolini was a socialist until just before he becameleader of the Fascist Party, but insist he and the party's doctrine are antisocialist" (our emphasis);indeed we do. According to Mussolini, "(the Fascist) conception of life makes Fascism the completeopposite of that doctrine, the base of so-called scientific and Marxian Socialism, the materialistconception of history... And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society. These two fundamental concepts of Socialism being thus refuted,nothing is left of it... Fascism repudiates the conception of ' e c o n o m i c ' happiness ..."(International Conciliation. Jan., 1935, no. 306. Reprinted in Knoles and Snyder, 1968). The mind reels.Mr. Kaplan next uses a quote of a quote of a translation of Hitler as evidence to bolster his claims.Note, however, that Hitler's "approval" of "former communists" (our emphasis) excludes "the petitbourgeois (sic) Social Democrat and the trade-union boss;" in other words, socialists. Need we alsomention the seemingly endless ravings against Bolsheviks, marxists, communists, etc., one encounters in Hitler's writings and speeches? Mr. Kaplan's defamation of "socialism" is an obvious appeal topopular prejudice. His interchangeable use of terms (e.g., Bolshevist, corporatist, socialist, leftist)renders them definitively useless, clouding issues and making meaningful discussion nearly impossible. Of course socialism resembles fascism in trivial ways, just as capitalist democracy resemblesfascism in trivial ways. For Mr. Kaplan's thesis to have any force, he would have to show thatsocialism is significantly more like fascism than other competing political philosophies, and that thesimilarities between the two are more significant than the differences. Perhaps Mr. Kaplan shouldabandon hypotheses that rely substantially on trivia and analogy. Timothy R. Machin StephenSondericker No local music? Sure there is The Front, Who the heck is this Wayne Ellis guy to decide"there really (isn't) much music" in Belling-ham? Forgive my indignation, but as a local musician, I knowbetter. In bringing national acts to Belling-ham, I can only be thankful that someone has taken theinitiative to fill a void in the currently less-than- thriving local music scene, but to infer that there is a lackof acceptable local talent is an easy way for a promoter to take himself off the hook; Even thoughBuck's is the nicest beer barn in the town, they have not provided an outlet for local bands to play live on a regular basis and develop their performance skills. Thus, those of us who can't stomach theSeattle cover bands they import have headed two doors down to the Up Up where local music can beheard on a Friday or Saturday night for a minimal cover charge.

After opening the season at home last Saturday with a 66-61 win over California StateUniversity at Chico, Western lost 75- 63 in Burnaby, B.C. to Simon Fraser University on Wednesday in its first NAIA District I game. We're going to make mistakes, but we'll be a team to be reckoned with. -Lynda Goodrich Western fell behind early against a fast-breaking Simon Fraser team, which jumpedout to a 18-4 lead. The Clansmen built their lead as high as 15 points before Western began to battle itsway back into the contest. Trailing 40-29 at the half, the Vikings outscored Simon Fraser 20-10 toclose within one point, 50-49. Freshman center Cim Hanson came off the bench to spark her teammates with six of her nine points during the run. But Western never got any closer. The Clansmen's SaraHaave hit a three-point shot for a 53-49 lead, and Simon Fraser rebuilt its lead, putting the game out ofreach. Forward Lynn Munday led Western with 16 points. Hanson had a team-high 10 rebounds, andforward Anna Rabel chipped in eight points and eight rebounds. "It's iusi a matter of our youth andinexperience," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "I was more pleased with what I saw coming outout of the Simon Fraser game than what I saw in the Chico State game. It takes time to work togetherand make good decisions." This year's lineup consists of three sophomores and two juniors. Only twoplayers are back from last year's starting lineup. In last Saturday's Chico State victory, Western wasable to use the fast break to its advantage over the slower Wildcats. Western never relinquished its leadafter going on top 25-24 with six minutes left in the first half.

RAY TOWNSEND staff reporter The women's cross country team placed fifth at the NAIAnational championships -- the best finish ever for a Western cross country team. The Western women accomplished this by placing four out of its five women in the top 52. The big surprise of the meetwas the running of Sarah Williams, who led the women by finishing 12th. This was Williams' bestfinish of the season and earned her Ail-American honors. Genevie Pfueller also earned Ail-Americanhonors by placing 19th, the third time Pfueller has been named an All-American. "It's an amazing feat,"Western Coach Kelvin Halsell said. "It's a great accomplishment for Western." The lone runner for the Viking men did not do as well. It's a great accomplishment for Western. -head coach Kelven Halsell Neal Sherry fell in the first quarter-mile of his race. When he tried to get up, he was kicked in the headand back, so he stayed down until the herd of runners passed.

Sailing club teams finish first, fourth By KATHY TUCKER staff reporter Competing against 14 schools in gusty winds and heavy downpour, Western's sailing club finished first in the regatta it hosted Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 at Lakewood.Each school had number 1 and 2 teams. Western's number 1 team came in first place, followed bySeattle University, second; the University of Oregon, third; and Western's number 2 team fourth. ErikHauge, sailing club representative, said it was the largest Northwest turnout in about 10 years. Hesaid everyone sailed really well in "trying conditions." Jeff Davis, Western sailing club coach, said "It was a wide variety of (weather) conditions that called on everybody's total experience." "The whole team really looked very good," he said. 'A lot of our new people that haven't been racing in that large (of a)fleet did very well." 'T he whole team really looked very good. ' -Jeff Davis He said Western's sailing club works on total team performance, rather than stressing the better individual sailors. The results of this are beginning to show, he said. Western's number 1 team members sailing Saturday were Varsity Asailor Tom Krabben-host with crew Shelly Drysdale and Varsity B sailor Dave Lutz with crew LaurieO'Donnell. Number 1 team members who sailed Sunday were Varsity A sailor Diane Whitefield with crew Diane Pixley and Varsity B sailor Erik Hauge with crew Karee Loghry. Sailors also raced solo on laser sail boats, but the results of that have not yet been calculated. Western team members sailing on the lasers were Dave Yurina, Erik Hauge, Brennan Linsley, Dave Lutz and Tom Krabbenhost. The weekend event was titled the Oprah Memorial Regatta ~ after a team member's dead pet fish. Hauge said "It was a hell of a party." ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 12 ---------- 12 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Win streak on the line for hot hoopsters By BUTCH KAMENA staff reporter Off to its best start in four years, the Western's men's basketball team willplay a pair of NAIA District 1 games at Sam Carver Gym this weekend.

After tonight's Victoria contest, Western travels to Seattle on Saturday to play Seattle PacificUniversity in a District I encounter. Victoria has won five of the last seven Canadian NationalChampionships. Goodrich described Victoria as a "well-balanced team that can run the ball." It's thebiggest campus comeback since "Revenge Of The Nerds." Western's football team, nearly cut lastspring in the wake of nine straight losing seasons, dwindling student interest and increasing costs,has returned just months later with a winning season and strong administrative support. "I have afeeling we've finally convinced some people we're for real," he said. The Associated Students Board ofDirectors had recom-mended the program be eliminated last year because of the large sum of moneyHansen said he needed to turn the team around. The board members agreed with Hansen that thefootball team needed increased funding to provide better training and equipment. They didn't supportincreasing student activity fees an estimated $30 per student. Hansen said the board hadmisunderstood him and that he was willing to negotiate to save the program. After students voted tokeep the team last spring at a special referendum and after Hansen had pared down his original figures,the board reversed its recommendation. The program received an additional $6,000 (approximately)per year for equipment, and through reorganization of existing funds, was able to afford a full-timeassistant coach, Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich said. Hansen gave three reasons for the program'simprovement. "We had more talented players this year, we had an older, more experienced coachingstaff and we had a very supportive athletic director," he said. The seniors largely were responsible forthis season's winning team, Hansen said. Their leadership and positive attitude helped the team staytogether. "Lewis, Nelson, even guys who didn't play too much, were just great." Senior linebackerWayne Lewis set a school record with 431 tackles in his career. He led the defense for a fourth straightseason with a personal-best 155 stops and a CFL-leading 11 takeaways. Lewis, sophomore safetyKelly Susee and junior punter Peter LaBarge were named first team All-CFL. Even though we'll be losing a lot of great players, with hard work we'll have a good team next year, too, Hansen said. "I'm sure thatthe threat of dropping the team brought the players closer together," Goodrich said.

The class is designed to introduce students to basic issuescentral to homosexuality. The relationship of a subculture to a culture is the main focus of theclass, said Scott Lennon, a Fairhaven student who leads the class. Lennon said the gay-lesbiansubculture is being used as a model because it is one of the newest and most controversial subcultures. "(The course) is an academic examination of the forces that have shaped the gay-lesbian subculturein the past 50 years," Lennon said. The institutions and leading figures who have risen from thesubculture also will be discussed, Lennon said. He plans to use the disciplines of sociology,psychology, anthropology and history to explore gay-lesbian issues and subculture. Issues to becovered in the course include: sex and sexuality, AIDS and its effect on American society, the history of the contemporary homosexual rights movement, heterosexual privilege, homophobia, minority politics and social structures in our society. "I see this ideally as the first course that would ultimately make up a gay studies department," Lennon said. Lennon said classes on sexual minorities are rare. The classreceived press coverage last spring because it is so uncommon. The Advocate, a national magazine that highlights sexual minorities' issues, interviewed Lennon about the seminar, as did Bellingham radiostation KGMI. This is the second quarter the class has been taught. Lennon said he has received nonegative or adverse reactions to the seminar, only positive and supportive feedback. Titled Fairhaven210B: Cultural Studies, the class is four credits and meets 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays andThursdays. Home ec. design group will tour Sweden, Finland A spring break design-oriented tour ofHelsinki and Stockholm is being planned by Western's home economics department. The tour,scheduled for March 20 to 27, may be taken for two credits and is offered to all Western students. PatMitchell, chairman of the home economics department, will lead students through an architectural tour ofHelsinki, the capital of Finland and a walking tour of Stockholm, Sweden. "I was very impressed withdesign in Finland," Mitchell said. She said she enjoyed design in Helsinki and Stockholm and wantedto share it with students. Students will have a chance to visit a glass factory, textile printing factory, afurrier and a garment manufacturer. The tours of the factories will give students a chance to seeevery aspect of a product's creation, Mitchell said. Students also may visit museums in both citiesand the Finnish Design Center in Helsinki. Students will spend two nights traveling between Helsinki and Stockholm aboard a cruiseliner. Cost of the tour is $1,195. It includes round-trip air fare, double-occupancy hotel accommodations, two nights aboard a cruiseliner, four dinners and all breakfasts,transportation and sightseeing fees. An initial payment of $150 is due Jan. 15. Space is limited to 15students. Applications may be picked up at the Home Economics Office in Old Main. Threeorientation lectures will be presented winter quarter. For more information contact Pat Mitchell at676-3372 or 676-3370. WSL board votes against restructuring By KRIS LUNDEEN staff reporter TheWashington Student Lobby State Board voted unanimously against Western's plan to restructure theWSL at a meeting Nov. 22 at the University of Washington. "The board decided it would be ill advised to (restructure) this close to the session," Andy McLean, Western WSL chairman, said. AssociatedStudent President Dan Wood stated, in an announc-w ement, that since Western's plan has noimplementation schedule, it would not be feasible to adopt it now. The board followed Wood'ssuggestion to instead opt for WSL Executive Director Jim Sullivan's plan. Sullivan's plan deals withsignificant budgetary decisions affecting the operating structure of WSL. The executive director'ssalary was reduced from $24,000 to $8,400. Salaries and benefits, including an uncut intern salary,total $11,000. Approximately $6,300 will be available to local chapters. Each chapter will now haveaccess to approximately $1,260. They originally had access to only $500. The board will meet again inabout six months to review Sullivan's plan and discuss proposals for restructuring WSL. "This is apositive step toward having a stronger student lobby. Our strength comes from numbers and emphasis on the local organization," Wood said. The WSL legislative agenda, to be presented to the statelegislature for the session beginning in January, was decided at the meeting. * Correction KathleenShaw, who wrote a directory for children and families in Bellingham, is a Whatcom Community Collegegraduate, not a Western graduate as printed in a Nov. 20 Front article.

The subcommittee, which consists of Trustees Martha Choe, chair, Larry Taylorand Gordon Sandison, will formulate a process for the selection and determine the composition of thesearch committee. The committee tentatively will include Choe as chair, Taylor, Trustee Craig Cole, four faculty members, Associated Students President Dan Wood, one additional student and at least four administrators. Remaining committee members should be appointed by the end of January, whenthey will begin considering possible candidates for the position currently filled by acting President AlFroderberg. Some faculty members were concerned that the committee be large and varied enough torepresent all of the university's interests. Choe said her preference was for the group to remain smalland she didn't want the committee's size to be an issue. "I will seek to balance the representation ofconstituencies, with a workable group," Choe said. Rosalie King, chair of the home economicsdepartment, agreed with Choe, but added she thought at least one faculty member should be awoman. She also said she would like the professional departments, such as technology, to haveinput. "My concern is that across the campus there is such a diversity of faculty. I want to be sure theyare all represented," she said. Choe said the campus community will be kept apprised of thecommittee's findings through upcoming forums and that the search for potential candidates could becompleted by June, Choe said. "I think this (date) is reasonable. We are going to take the amount oftime we need in order to do the best job possible." Rugby fate unfairly decided, Biggs says Continuedfrom RUGBY, p.1 fate, it should rest with the Club Sport Council. "We went through ail that hassle to go through the Club Sport Council and they made their decision, and they (Smith and Sather) just ignoredthat and booted us anyway," Biggs complained. Part of the suspension states the team may notclaim affiliation with Western, and Sather said if they continue calling themselves Western men's rugbyclub they will be violating the suspension. pancake breakfast in the Viking requested| l gt;as gt;e!d onabiUty to |SeattIef:f^ : | ! | e | i | f | | l | |^ PACE'S NEW USED In Old Town Check Out DiscountSavings at Pace's 413 W.

"That's where Hickey's involved," bassist LTD said, in reference to the pint-sized deitythe band members claim is their unifying factor. "Hickey the Wonder Bug. He's the greatest god of all,"vocalist Beijing Waxneedle stated. "Better than Christ, Buddha... " "But then again, our whole idea is tokill him," guitarist Boom Boom interjected. "He's kind of a paradoxical parasite. It's a confusing concept,but when you get down to it, he's like, this little bug, and you both worship him yet destroy him."Whatever. The guys in PCP (Beijing, Boom Boom, LTD and drummer Doug "Jung" Disney) don't try tomake a lot of sense, most of the time. Making a lot of noise is more their gig, and it's something theypromise to do when they play tonight at the Up and Up Tavern. The band was scheduled to open for San Francisco's Lethal Gospel, but the headline act backed out and at presstime PCP still was searchingfor an opening act for tonight. LTD, Boom Boom and Disney all played in the band Karate Church last year, and Waxneedle joined the trio last summer when Karate Church split up. "You can't classify ourmusic," LTD said, but the other members described it as loud, silly and occasionally socially relevantâ€” but never offensive. "There's nothing offensive about ... Golden Showers," Waxneedle exclaimed,referring to the Mentors tune that is one of PCP's standbys. One of the band's socially relevant tunes,"Eat, Oral, Eat," probably will appear on the second "Bellingham Complication" tape, due out earlynext year. Written last spring when Oral Roberts was fasting in an attempt to raise $8 million, the songis an eloquent plea for the televangelist to resume consumption of solids. "We were worried about hishealth," Boom Boom said. The band also is recording a full-length tape, due out in January, which willinclude its five-song thropera (thrash/ opera), "Strap On ~ The Story of a Young Man in Turmoil." Thethropera includes the band's unofficial anthem, "The Ballad of Gruff Otis," about a school truancyofficer who likes young boys. Indicative of the overtly perverted, sexual lyrics present in many PCP t u n e s , the amphetamine-paced "Gruff Otis" includes the verse, "He's six-foot-four and bald on top/ Withhair upon his back./ He smiles at you and leers a bit/ While thinking of your crack./ Gruff Otis, GruffOtis, there's no escaping him./ Gruff Otis, Gruff Otis, the future looks quite grim!" The boys insist they'rejust having fun, but lyrics like these, an abundance of cacophonous music and some lewd stage antics("we're not playing with dildos anymore," Beijing pointed out) have gotten the band kicked out of Buck'sand limited its appearances this fall to The Up and Up. The band did play on Camano Island and atBellingham's Eagles Hall this summer, though, during its "Safe Sodomy '87" tour. Waxneedle described "tolerance" as the basis of PCP's relationship with The Up and Up. Boom Boom said he believes theproprietors may like the band partly because of its fans, whom he described as "our drunk friends. It'ssort of a parasitic relationship. They sell lots of beer, and we get to play there."

Snow leaves a quilt of downy-soft powderon the streets of Lidsville. Meanwhile, inside the Borden home, strings of lights hanging on the tree andcriss-crossing the room blink as if to say.... ...."Eat at Joe's." After a miserable Thanksgiving Dayfeast of Tortelli's Turkey Loaf - a brick-shaped bundle of mystery meat gleaming in gelatinous holidayooze ~ Eddie, the mischievous other half of the Borden twins, thought diner chow sounded prettygood. His amiable brother Robert already had informed Eddie that turkey loaf would again be served at Christmas dinner because "mom said so." A distraught Eddie reached out and tweaked Robert'snose, whereby Robert fled down the stairs screaming, "Eddie broke my nose, Eddie broke my nose!"Punishment rendered, their parents banished Eddie to an evening of humility and solitaryconfinement in his room. Later, Robert helped his mother Liz pin up gaudy Christmas decorationsdownstairs on the living room walls. He always helps his mother. He's clean. Friendly. Courteous. Kind.Meanwhile Dad, pipe hanging from his mouth, teasingly flashed his wife with his new mistletoe bucklebelt. Liz' cheeks reddened to an amber glow and pulsated, as if to say... ...um..."Eat at Joe's." Sheresponded to Dad with a suggestive wink, and recommended Robert go upstairs, make holiday peacewith his brother, and write their letters to Santa Claus. "Gotta write 'em early," she said. "Otherwise,Zippy the postal boy can't get 'em to the North Pole in time for Christmas." "Whadya' want forChristmas, son?" asked Dad between hacking coughs from the screen of pipe smoke that now pervaded him. Robert said timidly he might like to have the new book, "Babar the Elephant Gets a Day Job."Grabbing a pen from the plastic pocket protector pad on the breast pocket of his father's shirt, Robertgot right to work on his letter.

' ;; *; Elizabeth (AnnaLisa Houk) issurprised by her motorcycle-riding landlord (Rob Noteboom).' By MAGGIE PRINGLE staff reporter T heBritish comedy, "Taking Steps," features a six-member cast, comprising Western drama studentsunder the direction of Western senior Mary Beth Sternberg. The play opened last night and will continue with performances tonight and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Lab Theater, Performing Arts Center 199.Sternberg admits it's unusual for an undergraduate to direct a full-length play, but she said she plans toattend a California university next year for a master's degree in fine arts in directing. Sternbergdirected "The Line" and "Laundry and Bourbon" at Western last year and acted in Summerstock theater. "Taking Steps," the two-act play by Alan Ayckbourn, takes place in an old three-story Victorian manor.While the scenes are in the living room, upstairs bedroom and the attic, the representation is on thestage level. Sternberg said comedy can be complicated. "Taking Steps" is the first full-length play she has directed, and the gimmicks demand timing. "The set is compact, and it makes it hard for theactors, but it also makes it funny," Sternberg said. "The small theater lets the audience get close to theaction," she added. In the play, Roland (played by Mike Rainey) is in the process of buying the manor.His lawyer (John O'Brien) and landlord (Rob Noteboom) are at the house when Roland discovers his wife, Elizabeth, (AnnaLisa Houk) has left him. Elizabeth's brother and his girlfriend (Matt Whitman and LyssaBrowne) also are at the manor and add to the confusion that leads to mistaken identities. "Directing is not telling people where to stand but developing the charac-ter... their tactics and intentions,"Sternberg said. Through a directional philosophy, her choices reflect an interpretation of the play. Forthis comedy Sternberg said her philosophy is "manipulation leads to isolation." With a background inacting and participating in Western's acting courses and productions she knows what the characters should do. In choosing the cast Sternberg said she also knew who had English accents for theexaggerated characters and the timing for the comedy. Admission to "Taking Steps" is $2 at the door.H Award-winning artstudents show their best at the VU By ALISON MAJOR staff reporter Watch out forthe six-foot-long concrete figure when entering tne Viking Union Gallery. Zena Nottingham's "CementMan" lies low in the center of the floor, where it could easily he backed into it if visitors don't payattention. Not that the sculpture is inconspicuous; it isn't, but the artwork around the gallery may bedistracting enough to make one forget the massive figure. The gallery is showing prize-winning Westernartists' work until Dec. 9. Eight art students last spring received various grants and scholarships fortalent and dedication. To honor these seniors, space has been provided in the VU Gallery for them todisplay some of their best works. Among the honors given were the J. Ruth Kelsey Merit Scholarship, the art department's Annual Art Merit Grant and the Edward B. Thomas Memorial Scholarship. Workson display are pieces selected by the artists, so not all are award winners. The showing does, however,include several award-winning designs or works created with materials bought from monies providedthrough the grant. Nottingham said she didn't intend to spend the entire $100 materials-fee waiverawarded her, but admitted her "Cement Man" required it. "I found I kept on needing buckets of cement,"she said. Her dedication to the piece didn't stop there. Pillows, scrap material, plywood and anythingelse she "didn't mind ruining," also were incorporated into the sculpture. TTie works range frompaintings and furniture to clothing and have titles such as "Man Holding Shark" and "Stern's HouseCollage." Stern's House is Western's painting gallery for art students, artist Catherine "Kitty"Brougham said. The fine-arts major said she wants the ideas expressed in her art to be appealing bythemselves, rather than have people draw on life experiences or outside observations to find meaningin her work. "I want the impact to be in the pieces themselves, not in the associations they have withsomething else. I want to hit you one-on- one," she said. An example is her untitled tracing-paperhanging, which has a large pinkish-blue or red square on it â€” depending on the lighting. As the airmoves the paper, the square's color changes between blue and pink as the light hits the treated oil-pastel block of color differently. Brougham said this kinetic energy movement is what makes the workspecial in it's own right. Senior art student Eric Freeberg won first place in the J. Ruth Kelsy MeritScholarship competition, worth a year's residence, tuition and materials. His still-life oil paintings aredisplayed on the back wall of the gallery. Kay Kammerzell received the scholarship's second prize:a $100 materials-fee waiver. She said she likes to incorporate industrial materials, such as metals andplastics into her design. Kammer-zell's furniture, wall hangings and pendant all feature these materials.She also has designed triangular metal coffee tables and a couch made of paper mache, which will be shown at an upcoming Whatcom Museum art festival. "I'm working more with furniture designsand interior-type objects for creating an environment where my pieces are definitely functionable," shesaid of her current artistic pursuit. Dale Seachord, who won a $50 materials grant, said he used partof the prize to buy army shirts. "(They) are a prime material in some of my newer pieces," he said.Because he has become interested in painting again, Seachord said he also bought oil paint, fixative and turpentine. Seachord's art displayed in the gallery has characteristics of "The Far Side" comicstrip, although he clearly has his own perceptions. Seachord added he likes to use techniques done inthe past, but makes them suit his purpose. For example, Seachord combines old canvas paintings,heavy material and several types of drawing textures (i.e. paint, pastel, charchoal) to make one, largecollage. "The methods to put together are not extremely refined. Often they're very crude, such as very crude gluing and sewing, which I feel cuts into the very crude-cut look of the pieces themselves,"Seachord said. He added this is a technique borrowed from early- 1900s artist Kurt Switter, known forhis abstract collages. Other students honored for outstanding achievements in art were Candy Knott,Jennifer England and Susan Lamb. ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 21 ---------- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Our Grand-Remodeling sale Continues!

SEATTLE ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 22 ---------- 2 2 ACCENT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Moonpins return to old turf for weekend gig at Buck's ByJOHN WYBLE staff reporter It's a homecoming. The former Bellingham band, The Moonpins, returnswith its high energy funk-rock tonight and Saturday at Buck's Tavern. The Moonpins emerged four yearsago, led by bassist Matt McClinton and drummer Jack Wolfin. The band subsequently added guitaristMike Kilpatrick, keyboardist Rick Haykin and lead singer Harley Tat. The Moonpins, which onceconsisted of all Western students, since has moved to the Seattle music scene. When Tat left forAlaska this summer, The Moonpins were left searching for a new singer. "We took out an ad in TheRocket for a new singer, but some of the people were a little weird," McClinton said. "One guy wouldn'tleave the city limits of Seattle." They finally decided on Karl Muller, a Sehome High School graduate whoused to sing for Arms Akimbo, a reggae-ska dance band. "Karl had a strong voice and was highlymotivated. He is also good at throwing lyrics at music," McClinton said. Last spring, The Moonpinsrecorded a demo tape of some of its original songs, which are a danceable mix of funk, rock and reggae. The band's lyrics range from political commentaries to nonsensical themes, such as "Moving toTukwila," a story of a strange, paranoid man trying to escape from urban pressures. "The Rocket calledour tape pleasant and light, which gave us a chuckle," McClinton said. Along with its original music, The Moonpins plays covers by the Talking Heads, Doors, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Commodores. Theperformance material also includes the song by Muller called "Davy Jones' Locker" about David Bowie.The Moonpins will head into the studio in January to record its first album, which should be out early next summer. The album will include many of the old originals along with some new material. The bandcurrently is planning a dance in the Viking Union Lounge next month, a double bill with the AlmightyDread, Bel-lingham's local reggae band. The performances at Buck's Tavern will cost $4 or $3 with a can of food for the Bellingham Food Bank. The Moonpins are: Rick Haykin, Matt McClinton, Karl Muller,Mike Kilpatrick and Jack Wolfin.

"We want to play the Nash Hall turn-around dance in the spring," Waxneedle said. While theband waits for a wider audience, the members continue writing new songs, about one every twoweeks. "We're purposely writing our songs to get on the PMRC's (Parent's Music Research Council)blacklist," Disney said. The PMRC, headed by Tipper Gore, the wife of presidential candidate Albert,is lobbying to establish a rating system for songs, so parents will know if their children arepurchasing music with "offensive content." "And we think it's great that Albert (Gore) actually smokedpot," Disney added. "We should confess, we've all smoked pot, but we all regret it," Waxneedle said."And don't do crack," Boom Boom admonished. "It kills."

That "we must bring the cup back," is the sentiment expressed by practically everyone in the school. The whole school stands behind the debators iii their determination to bring home £he cup. Miss Rokes, Miss Inga Benson,, and Mr. Mason Hall will defend the affirmative; and Miss Stoughton, Miss Spaight and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll will defend the Negative. The question to be debated is: Resolved, That the Phillipine Islands be given their Independence by 1930.

MISS OLIVE EDENS Normal Loses First Game; Then Wins Second Easily A large crowd was present in the Normal gym Friday night, when the strong Ellensburg basketball team defeated the local Normal "five" 23 to 14. The close guarding and excellent team work of the local men held the visitors from running up a large score during the game. Hughes, our star forward, was off color Friday, as he could not seem to locate the basket; he made shot after shot from every place on the floor, but missed every time by a narrow mai'gin. Both teams played a very clean game, few personal fouls being called during the game. The visitors made the first basket and kept the lead throughout the entire game. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 10 in their favor. The visiting center, F. Robinson, played a star game, making 15 out of 23 points for them. Line-up: Bellingham.

NORMAL LOSES FIRST: WINS SECOND EASILY (Continued From Page One) the hard fighting of the whole team supplied the fans with plenty of thrills. Not a point was made during the first ten UKI a half, minutes of some of the hardest and fastest playing ever viewed by local fans. . Bellingham scored the first point when Yanderford shot a basket from a difficult position, causing the crowds to go completely wild. The team kept the lead all through the first half, ending it with-two baskets and two free throws, a total of (• points, while Ellensburg had •aptured two baskets. •Yanderford started the second half by making a basket in the first minute of play, after which Ellensburg immediately got a burst of speed and shot in six points, making them 10, also giving them the lead, which they lost when l gt;ellinghant made a basket and tied the score. The s gt;joro remained tied until the last few minutes of the third quarter, when the local "five" forged -ahead.-.and made shot after shot from every position on the floor. The last few seconds of the play was very'interesting, the losing team trying hard to catch up, but with no avail. The Bellingham Normal outplayed their opponents from the start, being faster and lighter, and having the advantage of the larger gym floor. They played all around the heavier players of the Ellensburg Normal. Captain Victor Hughes kept the Ellensburg team on the defense most of the game by his continued shooting. Time after time he would throw for the bas.ket from one side of the floor and beat the opponents to the ball shooting again from the other side. Vic Hughes is of the hardest workers on the team and is having hard luck at present getting baskets. The entire game was considered by basketball fans as being a very clean one, there being only one personal foul made in the first half and less than eight in the whole game. Line-up: Bellingham.

(A Synopsis) —Mary B. Egbert..... The things I think, the things 1 feel Are known to me as very real; They form an inner life apart I'i'om all material forms of art. My brother's thoughts I may not know, Not even those of friend or foe. Until express'd by tongue or pen. I'n comprehensive terms to men. Amotions too may burn within. Unknown to strangers, kith or kin, Till we by word or deed impart The secret treasures of our heart. Herein doth lie our u^e of style For by its use, we reconcile The outer form with inner truth. Style's outward body visible Must be to man infallible Expressive of emotions mine As well as thoughts and felings thine In written words it must appear And not by sounds thai men can hear. If mortal mind is then inIpress'd By what he finds in words express'd The term of clearness is applied On which for meaning he relied. If his emotions are impressed It comes thru Force by Style possess'd. The niiin aesthetic too may feel Response within to Style's appeal, And this impressing tptality : Is Elegance','undoubtedly. This outward body's built of marks Of dots and circles, lines and arcs, They indicate to man some sound Artkulative organs found. These sounds make words that by consent And common usage now present The unrealities obscure With clearness in our literature. Our language then, to man conveys, Emotions, thoughts and thus portrays By Clearness. Force and Elegance Our intellectual advance. The source of words, we would suggest Is men who know and speak the best. Our words must be of good repute Have meanings men dare not dispute. Xo local terms nor technical Should mar our language vehicle, And present usage too mush share A part in our selective care. Xow ni.arks make words, and words we find, Form sentences of ev'ry kind. When groups of sentences unite .To form a paragraph in type, ;And paragraphs make larger Wholes Embracing all within their folds, We have our body visible. Before the whole is well allied Three principles must be applied. The first of these is Unity The oneness of reality; Made visible by human art in which our words are but a part. All thoughts must cluster round about One central point and not without. A second principle is Mass Arresting sight ere it can pass, Applied externally by norm To give o u r outer body form. Our third, Coherence is the last Relating parts and binding fast, By striking out all useless draff. Each sentence, words and paragraph. Tii meanings, well denoted, stand Our source of all from ev'ry land. Our choice of tools, connoted well Emotions keen must fully tell.

There are all sorts of bores, dry bores, chatty bores, scrappy bores, gluan bores, etm., etc. etc. Up here we have all the fifty-seven varieties: The field is too wide. Let's narrow it. Consider the class-room bore; he studies not, neither does he think. He knows more than the instructor himself and asks that dignitary to "stop and think." He interrupts an explanation to prose on about "putting it another way," or "in other words," or "that is to say." "While another person is reciting he shakes his head and waves his hand aloft. When not arguing he reads the Saturday Evening Post. Verily, he is the biggest bore. -. Then there is the "cute" girl bore; the little "cut-up" who laughs and whispers and pinches.and jumps. She is convulsed with laughter at her own witticisms. Her contributions to the discussion are not very illuminating, and her grades are D and C. She is very sensible compared with the third type, the borrowing bore. It would not be so bad if this bore stopped at dimes and fountain pens and note paper. It's when he or she begins to borrow lesson plans and reading reports that we get tired. Moral courage is a nice thing to have around but we hate to trot it out every day in refusing the borrowing bore. We could hold this talk for an hour or two. We just remember that Ave are being the worst of all bores, ourselves—a complaining bore. B. S.N. S. MOVIES. TILLIE. That Avas Mary Anne's best chum's name.Tillie was crazy over the movies. She had seen "The Lost Soul" for 24 consecutive Sunday evenings without missing a single installment. She had a framed picture of Douglass Reed over her bureau and a picture of Wallace Chaplin in her locket. She was secretly convinced that she was a great tragic actress. " I t makes me mad, she said to Mary Anne. "They scold us for going to the movies. They've got a machine an' an operator and everything up here. If they'd put on a few good films Ave'd all flock to see 'ein." •"'.•... They took Tillie's advice and sliOAA^ed "Our Mutual Friend." Tillie and Mary Anne heard about it and sniffed, "High brow! Not for us. They Avent to see "The Infernal Triangle," and afterAvards, "Why Willie Left Home." "Our Mutual Friend" Avas shown to a good many empty seats. It Avas a good play, too. Plenty of thrills, action, suspense, romance. And you Avouldn't come to see it. . Are Ave the four and one-half percent after all? Not AAdien Ave turn from the screen version of a masterpiece to the witnessing" of silly, unenduring trash. B. S. N. S. HAIL ANID FAREWELL f gt;0 AVE ONLY imagine it or is the sky really grayer and gloomier than it AA^as last Aveek. The campus certainly looks bleak and lonelA'. The halls are darker and chillier. Even this poor old paper looks bare and woe-begone. A good many of us tiptoe by Boom 216 with averted faces and a queer, catchy feeling in our throats; We look as if we had lost our best friend. Well, we have lost her—for six long months. Who Avas it that said, "Parting is such sAveet sorrow?" Whoever it was, he was all Avrong. All wrong. Since the announcement of Dr. Nash's coming resignation, no bloAv has fallen so heavily on the school as Miss Edens going aAvay. Everyone who loves her, and that means everj^one who'knows her, feels as if a vital part of the school AArere missing. The poor Messenger class, in particular, feels the solid earth caA*e in and the Avails begin to tumble doAvn. An infallible test for judging a teacher; ask the taught. And, in Miss Edens' case, Ave all answer in chorus, "She's our ideal; jolly and light-hearted, hard'working and sincere, frank and sympathetic. She is the best ever." Cheer up! She's coming back. That's some consolation. We'll be good Avhile you're away, Miss Edens. We'll forget all the slang Ave knoAV, eliminate " a i n ' t " and "he don't," and develop astounding vocabularies. Never more shall the split infinitive or that old sneak, the dangling participle, ruin our force and clearness. Not once shall "grim reaper" or "in our midst" profane these pages. Bon voyage! (Avhich is all the French AA^e know, and we hope it's all right.) Have a AAronderful time and enjoy your Avell earned rest to the fullest. You deserve it. But be sure to come back to Normal next September, just brimming OArer Avith energy and subjects for feature stories. A hearty AArelcome to our neAv Critic. We Avish her the best thing possible—that she be like Miss Olive Edens. On our OAAII this week. Like it? TO BE HELD TONIGHT Tonight at 7:15 the Seniors will congregate in the auditorium to enjoy a program of class talent, and a new year mixer. Among the numbers will be: stunts, songs, play of the entertainment and Hall's quartet, readings by Nell Henry, and "Bee" Dahlquist; dance numbers by Walton Biggerstaff. For muscially inclined students, Williams Normal Orchestra has promised to play several modern classic pieces. Then for the gymnasium, lots of new games, and ••splendiferous" excitement, followed by abundant refreshments. The committees are as follods: Games—Miss Mary Long, Marion Collier. Befgreshments—Mary Collins, Esther Windley, Ralph Miller. Social—Mary Wood, Margaret Spaight and Estill Cain. B. S. N. S. Porter (to Miss Edens): "It's getting late, ma'am.

A stirring address was delivered at last Wednesday's assembly by Professor E. J. Klemme, of our own faculty. Mr. Klemme is widely knoAvn throughout the state and everywhere that he is known he is regarded as a platform lecturer of the highest ability. Professor Klemme is a member of our Extension department and it is largely due (to his work in this field that the Bellingham State Normal has such a Avide and prominent reputation as ah institution of higher learning. Professor Klemme's message was on the theme "How Old Art Thou?" He dealt with his subject not as age is regarded as physical years, but from age in worth and experience. The students were one-hundred percent attentive to 'Mr. Klemme's remarks. At times the audience Avould be doubled up in laughter at his humor, which is of an exceedingly individual type, at other times they would be held, tense when some vital points were given to them. There were intervals during the address when if a pin should have been dropped on the assembly floor it Avould have been plainly audible. — B. S. N. S. Gossips are the spies of life.

Mr. Kolstad lias been doing much research work on this line for the last few years and he has yet found only enough material for a small pamphlet. As an example, Mr. Kolstad said his psychology instructor when she woke up in the morning and heard the whistles blow, would see a dark, pui'pleish streak flash across the draperies. She saw sounds, in other words. A famous French philosopher says the French vowels are to him colored. While speaking French the colors' of each vowel pass before him. Mr. Kolstad says they have on record the case of a young design teacher, whenever she ran out of designs she would attend either a syphonie concert or an opera. As she listened, the music would take different forms and designs. She would take these down as they came to her. Different types of music, of course, would furnish different types of designs. This is called Synaestesia, and it means simply this, the arousal of secondary sensation through primary sensation".

There are very few Normalites who do not know Sam, but the fact that he is going to play on the fat man's basketball team may help to identify him to those who are not numbered among his acquaintances. When interviewed by a Messenger reporter, Mr. Ford was very modest, and only after much persuassion divulged information concerning his past experiences. Mr. Ford graduated from Ellensburg high school in 1912, with high honors, not only in scholarship but in athletics, having been captain of both the football and basketball teams. He entered the pre-medical school of the State University in the fall of 1912, but was forced to withdraw on account of sickness. He earned his way while at the University ' by machine-shop and paper work. After leaving the Univer-servecl an apprenticeship in the Seattle- Astoria Machine Works, graduating in 1914. At this point in the interview Sam seemed to have forgotten ye scribe, was apparently oblivious of his immediate surroundings, and appeared lost in contemplation of his land of memories. He continued his story as follows: '•After leaving the Seattle-Astoria Machine Works. I spent several months on a trip through the Southern states earning my way as a boomer-machinist. Those were the good old days. In June of 1917 I entered the army aviation service at Seattle. In August of the same year I became an instructor of aviation, mechanics at dielly Field, San Antonio, Texas. I was finally put in charge of a hangar and took advantage of this by taking flights in the air." A chuckle escaped Sam as he continued, "I didn't like to eat the Kelly Field dust and on my own hook took leave of absence for none and one-half days in an attempt to get across the pond, where I could get a little mud. I was escorted back to Kelly Field from Pittsburg by two officers and introduced to a pick and shovel. Outside of this incident I was always a good fellow. I was discharged from the army in January, 1919. Shortly afterwards I made a trip to Alaska as engineer on one of the A. P. Fisheries boats." Mr. Ford has just recently accepted a position with the Herald and Reveille, which will take up his spare time hours.

But Bill is sure the wisest cuss: He didn't raise a nasty fuss, Ner trade the nmle ter an innercent. He knew what conservation meant. He fixed a harness, strong and tight,- Till that mule's heels was a wondrous sight, And then, with pulleys, belts and wheels, He utilized them wasteful heels. At every kick the wheels would turn; He pumped the water, ran the churn, Did the washin', sawed, the wood, Ground the feed and pround it good; Chawed the pigs to sausage meat; Baled the hay and threshed the wheat: Dug the ditches, laid the tile; Stretched the wire fence more'n a mile; Chopped the silage, shred the corn; Milked the cows both night and morn; Turned, the cattle out to graze; Dried the wash on stormy days; He ran a little dynamo, And, as his feet zipped to and fro, They stored the wily 'lectric juice In batteries for future use: So house and bam were lighted well, With current left enough to sell, Till no one need to go without, 'Who lived within ten miles about. In fact, Bill Jones grew rich and fat, Which isn't to be wondered at. He'd caught the secret of the hour, The harnessin' of wasted power. Some genius of inventive mind Should study hard and method find To muzzle, rope or tie the men Who wasted their force in kicking when PACIFIC LAUNDRY Blankets Cleaned, Carded and Made Like New.

The Nichols Hall girls are planning a party in honor of Mrs. Nicnols, next Saturday evening. Rubv Sunde spent the week-end in Seattle. Edith Linde and Gertrude Seniles spent the week-end at the home of the hitter's uncle, L. J. Senilis, at Laurel. Miking in a northeasterly for two and a half hours is rather chilly, say they. Carol Rahskopf was the dinner guest of Alic-e William, Friday evening. Ruth Church liked to throw snow balls. Last .week when the ground was covered with flakey white snow, the temptation to throw just a tiny snow-bail at her chum was too great to be overcome. Ruth threw the snowball. That snowball did the meanest thing! instead of hitting the chum it flew straight to Ruth's supervisor. That is why we put "like" in the past tense. Helen Alhnan and Fay McKiddy packed up and boarded the train for Auburn and home last Friday. They had a "dandy" time. We are informed by two Home Economics girls that Mr. Kibbe did a heroic deed last Friday. The girls say that he attended the luncheon they gave.

Last Saturday—sometime between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Rahskopf found himself in a sad predicament. All said morning lie had been listening to the eloquent orations of the champion debaters. Of course he was intensely interested, but when the gt;eloek indicates lunch time, on's mind is apt to turn to thoughts of sandwiches and pickies. Mr. Kahskopf's did. lie thrust his hand into his pockets, while pictures of delectable luncheons danced before his eyes. But the pictures vanished when his repeated searches were rewarded with only five coppers. The sad truth must be faced. He had forgotten his purse. Meanwhile the remaining debaters were playing the parts of good fairies. They flew downstairs and when they ..•ame back they were carrying a queer looking bundie. When Mr. Rahskopf returned to his office, wearing a look of resignation, he found the dcl.aters busily studying their respective speeches and then looking at his desk he saw a bottle of milk, decorated with a how of green ribbon, standing beside a box containing—well, we will leave the rest to your hungry imaginations. Suffice it to say that good fairies know that even Normal professors enjoy feeds of peanuts and doughnuts and'apples and sandwiches. ALKISIAH CLUB. February 2, 1022, the members of the Alkisiah club enjoved a verv delightful program, after which a dainty and well planned luncheon was served by Reta Card, Marjorie Dueber and Johanna Miller. The program was as follows: Music By the Club Debate, Resolved, that the policy pursued by the United States in the Philippines is the best policy that could have been pursued. Negative. Affirmative Marie Tinker Marjorie Dueber Dorothy Zinzer Edith McCall Music Club Story. Philippine Setting Reta Gard Ue.-ent Current Events Julia Murray Club Songs Club ALITHEA CLUB. An interesting meting of the Alethia club was held Thursday, January 2G. The first part of the evening was taken up with the election of oficers, as follows: President—Frances Still. Vice President—Mildred Dawkins. Secretary—(«ladys 01so?i. Treasurer—'Edna Carnine. Sergeant at Arms—Ruth Oitchell. Club Critic—Brigitta Karkkonen. Club Reporter—Martha Anderson. Later in the evening a very fine program was enjoyed: Book Review Ruth Gitchell Legend of William Tell Brigitta Kankkonen Travels in Switzerland Mildred Dawkins GIVES MUSICAL TREAT A musical treat was given to the Normal students at last Monday's assembly. Charles Wakefield Cadmen, one of the leading coiu.posers and pianists in the world, gave a short lecture coupled with three numbers on the piano. Harrison Raymond, our local well-known voice instructor, added to the worth of the program, by singing three songs to Mr. Cadmen's accompaniment. On the Friday evening previous Mr. Cadmen gave a concert at the Metropolitan opera house in Seattle. He is an artist of absolutely the first rank. His appearance at the Normal was somewhat of an accident. He was visiting at the home of Henry P. Jukes for a short time. Mrs. Spratley of our music department, invited him to give a program- at the Normal and he accepted. Mr." Cadnuii has contributed much to the musical world as a composer. In his study of music he has especially emphasized the field of Indian Music. He is perhaps the greatest authority in that line today. In opening his program. Mr. Cadmen gave the following: 1. Pompadour's Fan. 2. Love Song (by himself). 3. Wolf Dance (based on a Blackfoot Indian melody). The Musician followed these splendid numbers with an illuminating talk on the subject of Indian music. He declared that tlie study of Indian music began but thirty-five'years ago. Contrary to a general opinion, Indian music has a distinct value to composers. Forty per cent of all the material gathered by musical investigators from the Indians possesses interest and value for composers. Mr. Ca;!maii had with him several -urioiis Indian instruments, among them the fiagolet. On this popular instrument he played four short numbers. The tones which he produced were particularly mellow and fascinating. It is interesting to know that Indian children have proven more precocious musical students than white children. Concluding the program, Mr. Harrison Raymond sang the following delightful numbers: 1. I Hear a Thrush at Eve. 2. From the Land of Sky-Blue Water. 3. At Dawn. B. s. N. S. HOW TO DETERMINE HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS In hypnotism one should always make a test to find out if the person is susceptible to hypnotism. There are, of course, certain types of persons that under no circumstances can be hypnotised. We make this test as soon as the person comes on the stage, look him straight in the eyes and say slowly and distinctly. "You are falling backwards." If the person so much as waves he is susceptible. Now suggest a thought to him. If he does not respond, repeat with emphasis. If he can In- hypnotised he will take up the suggestion and will be in your power. You now can suggest anything and he wiil respond. The key to hypnotism is the power of suggestion. To remove the thought or suggestion, a snap of the fingers will remove your power. He loses your suggestion and he will immediately return to normal. B. S. N. S. First Student: "Mr. Kolstad can put people in trances." Second Student: "Don't I know it?

It is called Early American Imprints. These books were all printed between the years 1770 and 1830, and it is due to a sale held by a large eastern firm that it was possible to acquire these very valuable books. The printing and working of these books are peculiar to the extreme, for instance a girl is always alluded to as a "damsel" or a "pious female." : This set includes works in the following: novels, poetry, journals, catchecisms, essays, dictionaries of various vocations and several different editions'of the New Testament. From an educational standpoint, these books are especially useful, both from a literary and historical view. They trace very thoroughly the growth and formation of America's great part in literature. Many critics maintain that America had no distinct literary achievements of her own, but if these same _ critics would thoroughly investigate this one set of books they would be convinced otherwise. Every student in school who is interested in what America has done in a literary way, should not fail to investigate this set of books. B. S. N. S. SENIOR MIXER. What ho! Ye Seniors, great and small!

A torn sail snapped and cracked like a "young cannon." He opened his eyes wide and sat up in bed, reaching for his watch, which was in his coat pocket at the foot of his bunk. It was 11:45 o'clock. He was to go on watch at 12, midnight, and watch the Chinese quarters until 4 a .m. The foc'le door slid back, and a tall, bulky figure entered. The man walked up to Johnny's bunk, looking down smilingly. "Come, kid," he said. "It's time for you to go on watch and its a merry time I aim thinking you are going to have, too. You better take my oil skin for its raining and blowing to beat blue blazes. Can you shoot?" Johnny told him that he could. "Just peel your eyes along this." He pulled a forty-four automatic from his hip pocket. "If any of them Chinks or Mexicans get canary—well, don't hesitate to make them acquainted with a little hot lead. A flock of hungry gungs are following the ship, and they are crying to beat Hades, and a little fresh Chink of Mex- ' ican meat wouldn't hurt their craws any." He removed his dripping oil skins, and laid the automatic on the bunk. "I am goinff to the galley and wet inv whistle with a hot wash of coffee, then maybe I'll get in a little poker game, a pooch of a fine game is on down in the fishermen's quarters. Six •hundred in silver was on the table till the ship began rolling, and it had to be removed. Bv holy Mount Pavlof! If one of them fishermen hasn't four twenty-dollar gold pieces, and where he o-ot them, I ' l r b e cow-kicked if I can tell. But I said to myself, "Gold, why tempt old Swede Carlson? I'll jingle those four twenties in my pocket before we hit Unimak Pass. Eh, kid ?" Johnny had gotten out of the bunk, but was having a hard time dressing, because the ship rolled so hard. He hung onto the bunk with one hand and pulled on his shirt and trousers with the other. It amused Swede Carlson hugely to see Johnny stagger about. "Were you ever at sea before, kid?" Johnny told him that he had been to sea once before. "Once, vou say. Well you will get your sea-legs in a day or two. I am going now and if anything should happen— well, shoot, see? But if you are afraid to play Avith that little toy aiitp-matic. you just yell down in the fishermen's quarters, and old Swede Carlson will come and show you how to mix things in the hell-hole." Johnny noticed Swede Carlson's mammoth chest and muscles, which reminded him of Jack London's "Sea Wolf." Johnny asked Swede Carlson if this was his first trip North. Swede Carlson lit a cigarette, looked at Johnny and laughed. "Hell, kid! I am so well known on Bering Sea that the fish call me by my first name. You have just three minutes before you go on watch, so I am going to tell you a little story. "This makes—" they both fell against the bunk when the ship plunged suddenly—" as I was going to say, this makes my fourteenth trip North. I have been through Unimak Pass twenty-six times. The least I made in one season was $12. Last season I made $2,000. I had that much when I hit Seattle last September. Well, I have only twenty dollars left. That is the way it goes, kid. The more a fellow makes the . 711 ore lie spends. These darn cannery men don't care for a fisherman. The first season, I and my pardner were capsized in a storm. My partner was drowned, and I went for three days without anything to eat, before I was picked up. In a blow last year, me and my pardner got too close to a sand-bar near the mouth of the Nushagak river, and the boat capsized. I escaped again, but my partner washed away with . a giant., breaker. When I reached the cannery, the first thing the superintendent asked me was, 'Where is the boat ?'" . The door slid back and a sailor nodded to Swede Carlson'. A tremendous roar of wind, flappnig sails, and a wild sea spewing and simmering like boiling water, came from outside. Johnny hurriedly stuck the automatic in his pocket, slipped on the oil skins and boots, and followed Swede Carlson out on deck. Swede Carlson and Kay the sailor went into the galley, and slid the door. A streak of yellow gleamed through a crack of the galley door. Johnny was left alone on deck. It was black dark, and the giant waves boiled up and Avashed over the decks. Ghostly figures crept around the masts and by the railing. Aloft in the rigging,, the two and three steel cables hummed and sang like a trunk phone line. With the aid-of a small flashlight, he found his way along the slippery decks to the Chinese . quarters. He crawled through a narrow door, and started to descend the steep steps. On each side of the steps ropes had been stretched. Johnny hung onto the ropes and entered the Hell-hole. The poker game was still on, the players hung onto the stationary table and dealt the cards between the plunges of teh ship. On deck the air was pure, with a tinge of salt, but here in the Hell-hole a sour, stale smell, which made him sick at his stomach, hit his nostrils. He walked doAvn the narrow aisles between the bunks as quickly as possible. In every bunk,, a Chinaman or a Mexican rolled with the ship's motion. Most of them were smoking long pipes, probably opium. In one corner, to themselves," eight or ten Hawaiians had taken bunks. They were still setting up, half naked. Three of them were playing string instruments and sweet sounds of Aloha filled the Hellhole. Johnny passed the gambling table again on the way out, and was invited to "get in."' He didn't tell them but he knew that he did not know the first rules of the game. .Amid much tobacco smoke and jabbering he left them, and went on deck. The wind was gaining force, and the waves leaped above the ship, pouring their frosty tops across the decks. T-wise he fell when the ship tipped so the deck came up to meet him. His face was dripping salt water when he entered the fo'/le. He sat down on the edge of his bunk. His brain throbbed and a feeling of being terribly far away haunted him. Victor, his chum, slept in a double bunk in the corner across from him. Victor had hung a red curtain in front of his bunk and Johnny could see the light still burned above his pillow. Terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, what if the ship should sink? He asked himself over and over. His teeth chattered, and he wanted to do something, but what could he do? He walked over to Victor's bunk, and lifted the curtain. Victor lav very quietly, sleeping. The roll of the ship did not disturb him and the expression of adventure which had been on.his face ever since they sailed from Seattle, had turned into a half-smilc. Victor's white sweater with the vellow letter, his college colors, hung on a nail over his bunk. "What a contrast!" Johnny thought. Down in the Hell-hole were the rakings of the underworld of San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, but here was a young American, a college boy, the type that the American nation depends upon for the future. tie turned the light out and went on deck again. Some of the sails had been lowered, and broken cables swished across the deck. He was caught by one and thrown for ten feet, up against the railing. His arm and side ached, but he crawled through the narrow door again, B H 5 S 5 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 3 a H2B2S3HH2HaHHSHHaSlHHHaHHHBa "ALL NORMAL STUDENTS SATURDAY NIGHT" CECIL B.

The poker game was over, and everyone was in bed. The lights still burned, and a half-dozen pop bottles rolled around under the bunks. Tobadeo cans and rubbish slid around with the motion of the ship. The timbers of the ship cracked and moaned until Johnny expected the next breaker to tear the ship to pieces. On his way back to the foc'le .be peeped down into the fishermen's quarters. The game was still on and Swede Carlson and Kay, the sailor, were still on "the trail of the four twenties." It was his last round, when he came out of the Hell-hole deathly sick. His head ached, and his stomach hurt. He went as near the railing as possible and "fed the fish." At least sea-sickness had overcome him. Back aft, he heard the Captain swearing, he heard him say that the ship was six hundred miles from shore and one hundred miles out of her course. Away off to the east a streak of light showed. It was a pale, pale light, which gradually grew brighter,' seeming to come in little jets, with slight and sudden shocks. It made the heavens look as if they were being illuminated like a transparency, and as if lamps with flames were being raised. Little by little, behind the shapeless gray clouds, carefully raised with mysterious caution for fear of disturbing the mournful turmoil of the sea. Johnny awoke the relief watch and entered the foc'le. Victor was awake, and looked at him and smiled. "Isn't this great, this roll I mean. I can sleep just dandy." He asked Johnny what made him look so white around the "gills," but Johnny did not tell him. He rolled into his hunk with his face to the wall. His heart seemed big and swollen. He went to sleep mumbling Vic-Vic-Vic. -^-George Kermit Stephens. On Unintentional Descent. Oh, many's the ups succeeding the downs, For the slick sidewalks shimmer with sleet.

The Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, MEChA, a human rights organization that focuses on chicano issues, is sponsoring Western's walkout, which is scheduled for noon Wednesday in Red Square. "We don't want extremist immigration reform," said Western senior Sierra Schraff- Thomas, a member of the student group. "We want immigration reform that includes human rights and justice, for everyone." The bill, HR 4437, will allow for tougher prosecution of undocumented people, she said. Undocumented workers have children who are natural-born citizens who would be left alone if their parents became felons and were imprisoned, she said. The group is walking out to send a unified message to state and national politicians, Schraff-Thomas said. Western's walkout includes a march to the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham, where marchers will present a letter protesting the bill to the Bellingham office of Rep. Rick Larsen D-Wash., who voted for the bill in December. Larsen expressed reservations about the bill in a December 16,2005 press release. see BELL, page 5 PETER THAN / THE WESTERN FRONT In preparation for Saturday's border rally, Ray Ybarra, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, trained protesters from the Coalition for Professional Law and Border Enforcement on March 29 at Taqueria El Polivoz on Meridian Street.

By clicking on the link "Listen to KUGS-FM online now" on the KUGS Web site's homepage, users can listen at their computers, said Oliver Anderson, Western senior and program manager. The core staff at the station worked on getting the Webcast up and running last year, Anderson said. see RADIO, page 5 BY JULIE WAGGONER The Western Front The Coalition for Professional Law and Border Enforcement, a group of local human rights organizations, held a rally to oppose the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps April 1 at the Peace Arch Park in Blaine. For four hours in the steady rain, some of the 50 activists handed out informational leaflets about the Minutemen to motorists waiting to cross at the Peace Arch border crossing in Blaine. Other members performed original music and theatrical performances at the event which began the Aguila del Norte Legal* Observer program.

Compiled by Rob Ashlock WIHI1I1II111 Election lacks candidates With deadline near, only 14 students have entered AS races BY JEFFREY LUXMORE The Western Front The deadline to enter the Associated Students elections is Thursday and only 14 students have applied for the seven board positions, said Western junior and the AS elections coordinator Brian Perrow. Out of the 14 candidates who have applied so far, 11 already work for or with the AS, he said. "We hardly ever see anyone from the campus community get involved," Perrow said. Applications are available in Viking Union 504 and are due back by 5 p.m. on Thursday. Applicants must collect 150 signatures as part of the application process, but Perrow said he has seen a candidate do that in a single day. Western senior Alanna Ahern, the AS vice president for campus and community affairs, said students with leadership skills would be successful in any of the board's positions. "When one faction of campus is always dominating the agenda, that's not good for students," Ahern said. "The ability to affect change on my campus is the top benefit for me," she said. Seven student board members comprise the elected positions of the AS. It also employs students through extra curricular groups, such as KUGS, the campus radio station, Perrow said. Kevin Majkut, director of Viking Union student activities, said the elections usually have at least two students running for each of the positions. Approximately the same amount of students ran last year compared to who has filed this year, he said. The lack of new students running for the board could be due to insufficient advertising PETERTHAN /THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Michael Downing pauses to read an advertisement promoting the upcoming AS election. 11 out of the 14 applicants who have filed for this year's AS board elections are already involved with the AS. of the board and elections, Ahern said. One of Perrow's responsibilities as elections coordinator is to promote the elections, but no specific office exists to promote the AS. This could explain why advertising is not more widespread around campus, Ahern said. The AS Review and its Web site are available for students to quickly find out what is happening on campus, but these are not specific advertising outlets for the AS, Perrow said. Most of Perrow's work with promotions will focus on voter turnout. He is organizing radio spots and advertisements in campus publications, he said. Perrow posted flyers up with the Publicity Center around campus right before spring break informing students of the filing deadline, he said. The AS also advertised in kiosks around campus to promote the elections at the beginning of spring quarter, he said. Ahern said she would like to see students who are familiar with the AS run, but she wants new students as well. The elections are open to students without prior experience with the AS. The AS would not adequately represent Western students if it did not welcome applicants who are not previously affiliated with the AS, she said. The AS may intimidate students who are new to the group because new students don't know how the AS process works, Ahern said. Returning AS members may be more efficient in the board positions in the beginning because they understand the board members' roles and the issues Western faces that continue year after year, Perrow said: They may understand issues better because of their continued involvement, he said. Returning AS members tend to concentrate their efforts on continuing what they did the previous year instead of looking for new issues to focus on, he said. New students would offer another perspective, he said. "Fresh voices bring new ideas," Perrow said. The Western Front Online Don't cry!

The sign translates from Spanish as, "dignity without borders." CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Andres Ortiz said. The Minutemen began sporadically watching for illegal crossings of the Washington state- Canada border since October 2005, photographing any violations and reporting them to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, said Tom Williams of Deming, the leader of the Washington state's Minutemen chapter: Ortiz will lead volunteers from the legal observer program in an extended period of watching the Minutemen. They will document any actions the group perceives as abusive at its Blaine headquarters using photographs, notes and videos. Ortiz said the legal observer program will show all the documents it collects to the Whatcom County Council at the end of April to convince the council to pass a resolution informing the Minutemen they are not welcome in Whatcom County. Ortiz said the Legal Observer program has 48 members, a quarter of whom are Western students. He said all volunteers attend a two-hour training in non-violent observation, teaching them how to avoid confrontations with the Minutemen. Methods include humor, changing the subject or refusing to respond to attacks, such as incidents where Minutemen spat on or kicked legal observers in Arizona where the Minutemen are active in patrolling the border, Ortiz said. "We want to see what they're up to and report it back to the community," said Western senior David Cahn, a member of the program. "We just want to observe and document them, not get in their faces at all." Ortiz said the program is based on Legal Observer Project in Arizona, where the Minutemen organization began patrolling the border in April 2005. The American Civil Liberties Union's Ray Ybarra, who established the Arizona Legal Observer Project last April, trained Ortiz and others in non-violent observation March 29 at the Taqueria El Polivoz Mexican restaurant on Meridian Street, Ortiz said. Williams said the Minutemen are not opposed to the legal observer program. The volunteers will have a boring job because the Minutemen don't engage in illegal activities, he said. The Legal Observers will be helping the Minutemen's goal by putting more eyes on the border, he said. "I don't think intimidation is a humane method of protecting the borders," said Western senior Jackie Vosler, who attended the rally. "I think we have a responsibility to make sure it's not used. It's important that we make sure human beings are treated like human beings in all situations and that invisible borders we create don't change that." BREWERY BISTRO miners DO YOI WAX!

The county will use an area homeless count they completed in January, Gary Williams, supervisor of the human services division of the Whatcom County Health Department, said the count's purpose is to look at the homeless population's demographics and the major factors that contribute to their homelessness. ... "People are probably never going to see many of the homeless as a lot of them do not wish to be seen," said Sherri Emerson, public relations correspondent for Whatcom Opportunity Council, an agency that helps homeless people find shelters. Lara Bond, 28, a junior in the human services program at Woodring College of Education at Western, met with homeless students during her ongoing internship at the Opportunity Council. Bond said the Opportunity Council tries to help everyone who is homeless, but often they are not able to. "There are not enough services here for the homeless," Bond said. "They are limited especially for certain circumstances. The most disappointing thing you can tell someone when they come here is that they aren't eligible for what is offered or that they are on their own that night to find a place to stay." Williams said he hopes to compare results with other counties in Washington that completed the count within the next two weeks. More than 50 organizations administered the count, including the Opportunity Council, Bellingham Foodbank, Bellingham school district, Whatcom County Jail and the YWCA Transitional Housing Program. 65% Homeless minors â€¢35% â€¢ Older than 18 GRAPHIC BY MICHAEL LYCKLAMA Thirty-five percent of Whatcom County's homeless are younger than 18 years old.

"The Webcast is great because when I listen to the radio, I'm always curious about the songs that are playing," said Western freshman disc jockey Jenny Hemley. Information for the last two songs is also listed below the current song. By clicking on the "View playlist archive" link, listeners can research song information for any track that aired since the Webcast started, Anderson said. Although KUGS first began Webcasting in 1997, changing copyright laws and fees forced the station to stop in 2002, said KUGS general manager Jamie Hoover. The station would have been charged for every listener using the Webcast as well as for every song each listener played online, Hoover said. If 200 listeners were listening to a song on the Webcast, it would cost the station approximately $20,000 per year, Hoover said. "College stations across the country really just stopped what they _________ were doing," she said. "(The cost) scared a lot of stations away from Webcasting." Hoover said an agreement with Recording Artists of America allowed stations at colleges with more than 15,000 students, such as Western, to only pay $500 a year for Webcasting. KUGS also pays approximately $170 per month for a service called PlayStream to process and distribute the station's signal, she said. At this cost, only 50 listeners can use the Webcast at any one time, Hoover said. Once KUGS exceeds the bandwidth, no more users can log on to the Webcast, she said. If the Webcast gains popularity, Hoover said she plans to ask the Associated Students board of directors to fund an increase in Webcast users. Hoover said the main goal of the Webcast is to reach more listeners in the residence halls. Because many residence halls, such _________ as Buchanan Towers and Fairhaven have concrete walls, it can be difficult for students to receive the radio signal, Hoover said. "We know that students come to campus with their computers, and we know that most of the students get their entertainment and their media through their computers," Hoover said. "The idea was to get clear signals to people who can't get the station and increasing student listenership." Western junior and KUGS operations coordinator Cory Watkins said she thinks the new feature will improve the sound quality of the station on campus. She said the Webcast quality is equal to a The idea was to get clear signals to people who can't get the station and increasing student listenership/ JAMIE HOOVER KUGS-FM general manager clearly-recieved broadcast. As a low-power station, KUGS is difficult to receive clearly on campus. Even in the Viking Union, where KUGS broadcasts, Watkins said it is difficult to receive the signal. "KUGS-FM is on the seventh floor of the Viking Union, but down on the sixth floor and in the market they can't listen because the signal is too faint," Watkins said. "Hopefully with the Webcast that will improve." Since the Webcast started, the only problem users have encountered is iTunes not playing the stream, Watkins said. Macintosh computer users will have to download another media player to betable to use the Webcast, she said. Anderson said he hopes increased KUGS exposure through Webcasts will increase student involvement in the station as volunteer DJs and office staff. "The Webcast is part of our ongoing push to bring people into the KUGS community," Anderson said. "So not only do we want to get more students listening to us, but we want to get more students working here." Bill: Los Angeles protests inspire Western, other state universities to take stand Wednesday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In a December 16, 2005 press release, Larsen said he opposes illegal immigration but sees someproblems withthesustainability of some provisions in the bill. The House passed the bill in December 2005. Included in it are provisions that would make it a felony for U.S. citizens to provide any type of aid to illegal immigrants and would remove federal funding for, any states that refuse to comply with the law. One amendment to the bill calls for the construction of 700 miles of barriers, including double-layer fencing with surveillance, across much of the U.S.Mexico border in California, Arizona and Texas. The bill also calls for a study by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security potentially leading to similar borders on the U.S.-Canada border. The Senate began debating the bill in March. Its version differs from the House bill because it includes developing a guest worker program, which would provide prospective immigrants with easier access to temporary work visas, and move toward citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country. The Western chapter traveled to Arizona for the organization's annual national convention March 25. A massive protest in Los Angeles on March 27 inspired Western members to plan coinciding walkouts with the University of Washington chapter, said Western freshman arid MEChA member, MarTbel Galvan. "It's really just been this past week that things have grown," Galvan said. "We were talking about (the walkout) on the drive up from Phoenix, and by Tuesday, we'd had an emergency planning meeting." In addition to the University of Washington, other state universities, such as Central Washington University, may stage similar events this week, Galvan said. Schraff-Thomas said her group has been rallying other campus groups to join the effort. "We're asking anyone who feels this is wrong to join us," she said.

Dave Engebretson, a Western geology professor, will teach his spring geology seminar class at the center weekly, he said. His students will incorporate the environment in their projects, such as classifying and analyzing rock formations, he said. Geology 101 classes will also use the center during field trips to the arboretum, he said. "The right learning changes everything," -Engebretson said, "In other words, you can learn more about a cumulonimbus cloud by going outside and looking at it than by drawing it on a piece of paper." Facilities management at Western constructed the learning center in fall 2005 in the abandoned rock quarry along the Sehome Trail in the arboretum, east of Western's campus. The center provides opportunities for a variety of teaching methods, such as physically interacting with the environment, Engebretson said, who came up with the idea for the center. It creates the opportunity to observe the surrounding geologic formations, plants and animal life, he said. "The central focus of the project is to enhance student usage of the arboretum for educational and recreational purposes, as well as strengthen ties with the surrounding community," Engebretson said. Twelve backless benches face a low rock platform at the front where teachers or students can lecture. As an additional part of the project, facilities management created new paths along Sehome Trail fall quarter 2005, which improved access from the Communications Facility to East College Way, Engebretson said. The Western Foundation, a group of organizations and individuals who donate to the university, allocated $32,000 for MATT VOGT / THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior Melanie Kelly studies in the outdoor learning center on Sehome Trail behind the Communications Facility. Geology 101 classes will use this area on their field trips throughout spring quarter. the project in spring 2002 after President Karen Morse and Provost of Academic Affairs Andrew Bodman approved the idea in October 2000, Engebretson said. The center is part of an ongoing project Engebretson began in 2000, titled Sehome Hill Arboretum Resource Education, he said. This project focuses on using the arboretum's natural resources for educational purposes, he said. The outdoor learning center is the first physical part of the project. Engebretson has worked with facilities management, Morse and the city of Bellingham to complete the project in fall 2005. His strongest supporters, however, have been his own students, he said. Their dedication to his vision is the driving force behind the project's completion because they helped him develop ideas for the project, he said. Engebretson gathered approximately 75 student volunteers in the past five years through teaching seminar classes and independent study courses in the geology department, he said. The students helped devise models of the center and lay out the area within the rock by the trail, Engebretson said. "I really want the students to take ownership," Engebretson said. Western junior Kathleen Weinand said she has taken three classes at Western, geology 101, biology 101 and physical geography, that have used the arboretum to apply the skills professors teach in the classroom. Weinand has been involved with creating the center, she said. ; "There are lots of classes that take you up in the arboretum," Weinand said. "It will be nice to have a place to sit." Tim Wynn, director of facilities management, managed the construction of the outdoor center. Wynn and Engebretson worked together on the center's configuration, Wynn said. They designed the natural benches to fit in the surrounding landscape but also to be resistant to vandalism and graffiti, he said. "The arboretum is a wonderful asset, anything we can do to enhance its utilization is a wonderful thing," Wynn said.

Cop wrestles bags of pot from dog's mouth A Boston detective searching a suspected drug dealer's apartment, wrestled a sack containing 108 bags of marijuana out of the clenched jaws of a pitbull named Prada. The dog carried the tan-colored bag in his mouth on March 29 as police were searching the apartment, where they found a loaded gun, $ 1,000 cash and marijuana. The bag tore when an officer tried to grab it. Police said they could see bags of marijuana inside the sack in Prada's mouth. Officers locked Prada in a crate and arrested three men.

Police arrested Christopher Greg Killion, 31, on March 24 on a complaint of encouraging a minor child to be in heed of supervision.

Clerk faces jail for urinating in soda A Deltona, Fla., convenience store clerk pleaded no contest on March 30 to felony charges alleging he urinated in a bottle of soda a customer drank and became violently ill. The victim became suspicious of the drink after he chugged it and vomited four times, police reports said. Mesa was working at a Deltona convenience store when the incident occurred last fall. Police arrested Anthony Mesa, 21, into custody after a short hearing before state Circuit Court Judge James Clayton. Mesa's sentencing is scheduled for a later date, according to a March 30, Orlando Sentinel article. Mesa's attorney said he hopes his client will receive less than a year in the county jail. Naked intruder stuns children Utah police arrested Natalie Peterson, 23, on March 23 when she showed up naked to take a shower in a stranger's home. Police said Peterson wandered into a house after she had been in an argument at a nearby house. She then ordered the three children there to leave "her home." One of the children called police to report an intruder. Officers found Peterson barricaded in a bedroom and in a highly agitated state. Peterson then urinated in her cupped hand and tossed it at police. Police subdued Peterson, who police said, was under the influence of drugs and was transported to a local hospital before being booked into the Weber County Jail. She is facing several misdemeanor charges, including criminal trespassing, assaulting a police officer and propelling a substance onto an officer.

The building, known as Interurban Stages and located at 1327 State St., was constructed in 1930 to house Puget Sound Power and Light Company offices and a bus station, Depot owner Ben Gilmer said. The bus station moved from State Street in 1994 to its current location at 410 Harris Ave. in Fairhaven, leaving the building vacant until the Depot moved in a decade later, Gilmer said. "It has depth of character," Gilmer said. "It's not as manufactured as a lot of other places." Gilmer maintains the original character by displaying photographs of old buses and one photograph of the building as a bus station. Gilmer also included brief history about the former bus station on the back of the menus. Gilmer said construction and renovation lasted nearly eight months and ended Jan. 21, 2005. The construction cost approximately $500,000, Gilmer said. The final renovations included adding seating, tables and two bars, while keeping much of the wood from the original structure, Gilmer said. Rewiring and plumbs ing concluded most of the building renovations. The original 14-foot ceilings, stone floors and brick entry are features that remain from the former bus station. Moceri Construction, who completed the renovation and rebuilding of the structure, altered the three-foot bathroom stalls to comply with the Americans with Disability Act, Moceri carpenter Sean McDonough said. "It was a beautiful space to begin with," McDonough said. Gilmer said he tried to maintain the historical importance of the building by keeping the original architecture intact. "We tried to maintain and reuse every item we found," Gilmer said. "Each space tells a story." Gilmer saved doors that could not stay in their original location to display somewhere else. The tickets sign on the door has moved to the entrance of the restaurant in front of the hostess podium. Gilmer said he discovered a pay machine customers could purchase luggage identity tags in the basement of the building during renovation, which now hangs on one wall of the lounge area. Gilmer added old luggage bags he found at antique stores to emphasize the historical importance of the building's past. Depot server Jenna Abbey directed a customer who thought he was at the former Interurban Stages bus station to the new bus station in Fairhaven, she said. "My mom used to ride this bus when she was going to college here," Abbey said. "When she came to visit I brought her here and she was really excited about the way it looked." , It's common for customers to tell stories from their childhood about waiting for the bus while they drink and dine, Depot prep cook Justin Moody said. "I think that's one of the reasons it's so popular," Moody said. "It has sort of a nostalgic environment and people like that." The original character of the building and the thrill of travel associated with the station are reasons customers come back to the Depot, Gilmer said. He also attributed the Depot's popularity to its PETER THAN / TOE WESTERN FRONT The State Street Depot Bar and Grill opened Jan. 21, 2005 after eight months of renovation and construction. friendly, outgoing staff and the warm environment that he created with rich'wood and dark colors.

Sunday's games at Beliingham High School came down to the last pitches. In the second game of a double- header, Western junior shortstop Chris Peterson hit a two-out, walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in Western's 1-0 victory. Peterson's home run oyer the left field fence gave the Vikings, 9-3 overall, possession of first place in the Pacific Mountain Conference with a 4-1 league record. The teams played the doubleheader Sunday after cancelling Saturday's game because of rain. Senior pitcher Ryan Kauflman pitched the game of bis Viking career, head coach Michael Johnson saidi throwing a complete game while striking out six and allowing only four hits in Western's1-0 victory: "they didn't prove they could hit my fastball so I kept throwing it, keeping it down in the strike zone, moving the ball around," Kauflman said. Peterson's home run kept me gaine firpm going to extra innings, Kauffinan said. "It pretty much came out of nowhere because nobody was hitting hard off their pitcher," Kauffinan said.

Some sports analysts of the new policy refer to the NFL as the No Fun League. While I agree with the sentiment of sports analysts, I believe any organization that pays its employees to play football is, at least a little bit fun. â€¢This proposal runs contrary to the intent of American professional sports which, by the way, are supposed to entertain. I enjoy watching athletes make spectacles of themselves after they score. And I enjoy imagining the possibilities of what celebrations eccentric receivers like me Cincinatti Bengals' Chad Johnson or the Dallas Cowboys' Terrell Owens might come up with next see CELEBRATE, page 10 ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS APRIL 4,2006 Women lose five seniors BY ANDREW LAWRENCE The Western Front When the buzzer sounded in Carver Gym on March 11, it signaled Western women's basketball, team's 70-50 loss to Seattle Pacific University in the West Regional Semifinal of the NCAA Division II Women's National Basketball Tournament. Fourth team All-American and senior forward Tina Donahue took the loss and the end of her Viking career especially hard. " I t was a nightmare," Donahue said. I t was like I was waiting to wake up from a bad dream, it just didn't seem real.'' Though not the conclusion the team wanted, the loss did not overshadow all they have accomplished mis season, senior guard Samantha Hubbard said. The women's basketball team hosted the West Regional Tournament because they won the regular season conference championship. . "The season is not defined by March," she said. The team won the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship with a 17-0 record and a 27-2 overall record. The team won a school-record 21 straight games and won more than 20' games for the ninth consecutive season. Hosting the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Regional Tournament was the highlight of the season, Hubbard said. 'We worked hard to get it, and we really had to do everything right up to that point," Hubbard said. Last season's momentum carried into mis season, Hubbard said.. The Vikings finished last season with a 24-5 record and reached the West Regional Tournament. They returned five seniors to the court, including Donahue, Hubbard, center Courtney Clapp, center Stephanie Dressel and guard Kelly Dykstra. One of their greatest strengths came from the sideline, Dykstra said. ._, ...... "The coaches are just amazing women," Dykstra said. "The most upsetting thing at the end of mis season was not being able to doit for them. It's devastating." The GNAC named head coach Carmen Dolfo coach of the year after the Vikings clinched the No. 1 seed at the West Regional Tournament "Everything they did prepared us and gave us the ability to win," Hubbard said. Reading the coaches' scouting reports of opponents before each game was essential to the team's success because it broke down each of the Viking's opponents, Hubbard said. Several players were honored individually, such as Donahue's; selection as GNAC Player PHOTO COURTESY OF PAUL MADISON Western senior and fourth-team all-american Tina Donahue shoots around a Central Washington University defender at the Showdown in the Sound on Dec. 17,2005. Western defeated Central 87-55 in Seattle. of the Year and being named a fourth-team NCAA Division II All-American Team, Hubbard said. "It was one of my best years," Donahue said. Another excellent performance came from senior Courtney Clapp. Clapp was a second-team GNAC all-star and Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 26 through March 4. One challenge the team faces is the loss of five seniors, almost half of the team, including Donahue and Clapp. "When I was a junior, we had just lost a lot of players, but we started out winning 15 straight," Dykstra said. "Though some people think it's a rebuilding year, the team will step up." Because me team utilized a deep bench, next year should be an easy transition, since the younger players received a lot of playtime, Donahue said.

Celebrate: Committee robbing fans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Idon'tmeantosay some celebrations aren'tmappropriateor lame. But natural consequences from players, coaches and media can curb infractions. Owens once scored a touchdown in Dallas and ran 50 yards to the star in the middle of the field, only to be blindsided by an angered Cowboy player. This type of thing has a way of settling itself out And clearly, Dallas wasn't too .upset over the exaggerated celebration anymore considering they signed Owens to a multi-year contract in March. Coaches can lay out what is and isn't acceptable for their players, and they don't need the league to step in. Why outlaw team celebrations? Touchdown celebrators didn't need more reason to act as an individual. Now the NFL is making it mandatory. Nothing says team more than the entire offense forming a conga line in the back of the end zone. Banning celebrations on the ground puts an end to snow angels, canoe paddling and the worm. I don't understand why celebrating on the ground is such a hotly contested issue with the committee, anyway. Is there a gray area? I mean, do both knees have to be on the ground? Is it like the rules for being down, can you keep celebrating if only a hand touches the ground? Props seem excessive, but they don't harm anything. Phis, the opportunities are endless. I wouldn't mind a player incorporating an abacus. Or players could start leaving a rose or an ace of spades as their calling card, much like flooding a basement to let someone know they were robbed by the Wet Bandits. "Who just caught mat touchdown? Oh, I see an original copy of 'Great Expectations.' It must have been Antonio Gates." Johnson spoke about using a live deer in a celebration after scoring a touchdown. A live deer! Fans won't accept someone merely spiking the ball after we've been tempted with the idea of Bambi running around the end zone. Sure, the competition committee is going to still allow spiking and high fives, not to mention smiling, tipping one's helmet and sitting quietly on the bench. But that stuff has the personality of a doorstop. Fans shouldn't accept mis downgrade in entertainment. How am I supposed to stand up and cheer for^omeone handing the ball to the official when I was told I get to see live animals? The worst part of the proposal is it doesn't provide punishments for celebrations mat are unoriginal or flat- out boring. - This means running back Shaun Alexander can go on rocking babies and pretending to fish, while more creative players aren't allowed to act out scenes from 'Scarjace" or charm snakes. I'm sure Shaun is at home right now practicing his new celebration, "filling out the W-2." NFL fern should protest tiiis stifling new policy by celebrating after they, achieve any sort of success in their lives. In this protest we may be lucky enough to see some defiant fan with a taste for irony perform the arbitrary tasks which become fodder for NFL players and their celebrations, such as answering the phone or changing a diaper, and then stand triumphant over a newly domed infant and pretend to catch a touchdown. Binding the hands of these celebrators, which otherwise could be used to raise roofs, with these new guidelines eliminates a harmless yet exciting feature of the game. With these new rule changes die Not as much Fun League has effectively shot itself in the foot, which, if someone could find a safe way to do it, would make a heck of a celebration. Sadly, we may never get to see someone try. ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 11 ---------- APRIL 4,2006 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 regime as BY BRADY HENDERSON The Western Front When Western's football team takes the field for its season opener against Humboldt State University Aug. 31, the team may be difficult to recognize. Players said the team will move from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to the tougher North Central Conference. Players will sport new dark blue helmets, and will play their home games at the newly renovated Civic Stadium. More importantly, the team will have a new head coach. Long-time Western head coach Rob Smith, who resigned last December after compiling a record of 109 wins in 17 seasons, is out. Former Vikings' assistant coach Robin Ross, who returns to Western after 10 years to become the 13th head coach in the program's 95- year history, is in. The opportunity to be the head coach was his main reason for returning to Western, Ross said. "(Western) is a great university," Ross said. "I enjoy the people." In his first head coaching job, Ross takes over a team eager to improve last year's 4-6 season record, and 3-3 in conference. The team hopes Ross' emphasis on defense will improve a weakness. He will serve as the defensive coordinator as well, Ross said. Last year, the Vikings gave up "28T8rpointsper game on theirway to its third losing season under Smith. This year, junior outside linebacker Shane Simmons, a first-team all- GNAC selection last year, will lead the defense, Simmons said. "We have a lot to improve from last year," Simmons said. "I think we've got the guys to do it. We got a new look and we're excited to get out on the field. We want to win." Ross is switching back to a 4-3 defense after the team moved to a 3-4 defense midway through last season. The team is optimistic this move will help them utilize their TAYLOR WILLIAMS / THE WESTERN FRONT Western head football coach Robin Ross observes his football players stretch before Monday's running session on the Turf Field north of the Wade King Recreation Center. Ross took over for former head coach Rob Smith on Dec. 15. speed, said James Day, a junior outside linebacker who started six games for the Vikings last year. A 4-3 defense will help Western use their speed to better defend teams in the NCC, Day said." "We've got some pretty fast guys," Day said. "We're gonna use our team speed and fly around and make plays." So far this offseason, Ross and his coaching staff like what they have seen from the players in the weight room and in conditioning drills, Ross said. Offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach Eric Tripp said players set more than 151 individual records during the winter weight lifting and workouts. "I like the attitude of the team," Ross said. "We had a good quarter. They've been working hard." Ross spent two seasons as the Vikings' defensive coordinator in 1994 arid 1995.' In 1994, Ross' defense allowed the fewest points of any National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division U school, ranked third nationally in rushing defense and fifth in total defense. The team claimed its first ever national playoff victory in 1994, defeating top-ranked Linfield College 21-2. In 1995, the Vikings finished 9-1 with an undefeated regular season. They spent five weeks as the top-ranked team in the nation and finished the season ranking seventh nationally in scoring defense. Before joining the Vikings as head coach, Ross was the linebackers coach for the National Football League's Oakland Raiders in 2000, when the Raiders went "12-4"and firiisHed with the league's ninth ranked defense. ' The Raiders lost the AFC Championship game to the Baltimore Ravens. As the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at the University of Oregon from 2001 to 2004, Ross helped the Ducks win the Pac-10 championship in 2001. He spent last season coaching linebackers at Oregon State University, where the Beavers ranked first in the Pac-10 in rushing defense. Ross gave his players more responsibility regarding issues affecting the team. He set up a player's council with elected players from each position, both offensively and defensively. The council makes decisions regarding what uniform combinations to wear on game days and how the football program will spend its money, Day said. "It's about being a team," senior quarterback James Monrean said. "I think it's real cool that (Ross) has let us be involved in some of the decisions being made." While Ross is taking steps to improve the team, his impact on his players stretches beyond the playbook. Players describe Ross as a player's coach, personable and easy to talk to. Ross has focused on getting to know his players and building team unity with help from, the player's council. "He wants to be involved, not only in the football aspect but in the players' lives," senior . defensive tackle Ryan Lucas said. Ross wants the team to be more involved in the community as well. Players visited Geneva Elementary in Bellingham to read to children, talk about the importance of reading and to warn them of the dangers of using steroids. Ross has made a number of public speaking engagements regarding Western's football program around the state since the school hired him and plans to schedule an autograph day and a canned food drive, he said. "We're developing leadership not only on the team but in the community as well," Tripp said. As for switching to the highly competitive NCC, the team is up to the task of playing in the toughest conference in Division II football, players said. The team realizes not many fans and critics of the NCC believe they can win because they are playing in an elite conference against some of the nation's best teams, including Division II playoff participant the University of North Dakota, Lucas said.

BY BORIS KURBANOV The Western Front The evidence is overwhelming. Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is trapped between the cheating he tried so hard to protect and the present allegations of steroid use he knows he must address. Faced with threats frbm Congress to clean up the game and a public outcry questioning the integrity of me MLB, $eHg on March 30 announced a formal investigation into player's use of steroidsâ€”the ripped and roided elephant in the middle of the room. What took so long, Bud? Selig hired former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to lead the investigation. Not only is Mitchellthe Boston Red Sox director and former director for the Florida Marlins, he is also chairman of The Walt Disney Go. Disney is the parent company of ESPN, a national broadcast baseball partner, according to a March 30 New York Times article. Conflict of interest? Gertainly. Mitchell is simply too close for comfort. Selig should hire an outsider to investigate, much like investigator John Dowd's bulldog approach to nail baseball's all-time hits leader Pete Rose for gambling on baseball 13 years ago. The investigation seems as phony as a presidential campaign promise. Selig is striking out in his efforts to clean up. he can't take charge oifuiis issue if he doesn't investigate. If he pursues with his inquiry, it will be too little, too late. Selig, desperate to reshape baseball's image, can only blame himself. He knew the game had a problem long before former Baltimore Oriole first baseman Rafael Palmeiro wagged his finger at Congress in March 2005 to say shame on Congress for prying into baseball's dark secret. Palmeiro told Congress m the 2005 hearings that he never used steroids, m July, 2005 he tested positive for steroids. He knew long before former MLB all-star Jose Canseco's 2005 book detailed players' -rampant steroid use, including Palmeiro's. Paitheiro. shamelessly denied using steroids, even-;after he tested pdsitiVein August 2005^ according to aC March 30^ ESPN.com article; ' '':F/â€¢i;; V e percent of Major League B a s e b a l l players tested positive for steroids during the 2003 season, according to aNov. 13,2003 Sports Illustrated article. Why didn't the investigation start then? It's simple, actually. The money from fans rolls in as long as major league baseball t e am s keep shortening their fences and turning their ballparks into launching pads for baseball's chemically enhanced cheaters. Barry Bonds, the self-proclaimed "media scapegoat," denied using steroids, and opened of hall of fame outfielder Hank Aaron's major league record of 755 home runs. Bonds is the subject of the book, "Game 's legacy of Shadows: Barry Bonds, Balco and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports," based on a two-year investigation written by San Francisco Chronicle reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. The Union-Tribune Publishing Co. released the book March 23. The book included court documents, affidavits investigators filed, documents federal agents wrote and interviews with more than 200 witnesses, according to a March 8 Seattle Times article. The book's, release finally forced Selig to open an investigation. Any legitimacy Bonds' career had before the book's release, sunk to the bottom of San Francisco's McCovey's Cove â€” where most of Bonds' home runs belong. Even if Bonds doesn't hit another home run or breaks Aaron's record, everyone will question his statistics legitimacy. It seems they're not. Bonds would be well-advised to accept responsibility for cheating and then lying about it, and quietly walk away from the game. But Bonds won't. He knows Selig's and Mitchell's investigation is harmless. Bonds could surpass Aaron in one of the more disturbing scenes in sports history. Robbing a legend from his coveted record.

Brooklyn's Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery will display a life-size sculpture of Spears nude and pregnant as part of an anti-abortion art exhibit beginning April 7, according to a March 28 USA Today article. This sculpture, "The Birth of Sean Preston," could be the most innovative piece of art in the 21st century due to its graphic nature in depicting a celebrity. According to a March 22 article on the gallery's Web site, Daniel Edwards, 40, lovingly sculpted the pop princess in her natural state because he found her beauty intriguing. Now seriously, how many times can someone use that as a cover story for making a life-sized statue of sorneone viewed as America's trashiest teen idol? And sculpt her stark naked, kneeling in the doggy- style sex position, on a bearskin rug with her ass in the air, pushing a baby's head out of her vagina? Edwards is breaking down the barriers between .'politics,, art and entertainment like a Sherman tank at a peace rally. Edwards said his piece is not political, despite it reflecting such a hot issue as anti-abortion, according to a March 28 Yahoo.com news article. The'-article^lis^'Omtftpntoyersial sculptures Edwards has created in thepast, proving he is strictly in this for artistic expression and is not staging a publicity stunt. Such pieces include the decapitated head of a man who wasciyogenically ^ frozen after death. Edwards said" the invasive tabloid and niagazihe â€¢stories covering Spears' pregnstncy was a catalyst for Ms creatidn, according to a March 30 New York Times article. He said he couldn't find a better model to represent me hard decision of choosing between a career and family, especially since celebrities rarely step out of the spotlight to have children at such a young age. ;;' While anti-aboirtion activists have responded with thousands of hostile e-mails in response to Spears' image1 involveirteiot, they failed to realize she is not partaking in the media attention. According toy the Times article, Spears' spokeswoman refused to issue a statement on the subject. A Spears publicist also denied an interview request from The Associated Press. Edwards told the media Spears was not even aware of the sculpture when he began making it. Spears serves as a quintessential role model because,, despite an embarrassing, rushed wedding after tabloids spread word about her pregnancy, the 24-year-old singer J^STINY l^pttjphetic connection between Spears'song titles and her life "Dear Diary" WmNoi A Girl NotYet A Woman" "Anticipating" "Boys" "Satisfaction" "Where Are You Now?" immmmmmmmmmiÂ® still decided to have her baby.

Only 13 students have filed to run for the seven positions on next year's Associated Student board of directors, and two candidates are currently running unopposed. Perhaps worse for student government and campus discussion, 11 applicants currently work for or with the AS. How can Western students expect the next board of directors to disperse its approximately $2 million budget, made completely of student money, to represent student needs and concerns if no new candidates run? A government controlled by a small group isolated from its voters. Sound familiar? -â€¢.- .,*-..,â€¢â€¢ New candidates are needed to bring fresh ideas to our student government. Current board members ran on a platform with specific ideals and goals to accomplish. Now running for re-election, they will undoubtedly continue to focus on those same issues. The board needs fresh candidates to bring ideas beyond lower book prices and improved transportation. The horse is dead, so quit beating it. However, the lack of student involvement is partly the AS' fault. The AS needs to better advertise its positions. Members say they tm^ want more students to run, but how many students knew the deadline was Thursday? Western junior and AS election coordinator Brian Perfow said most students don't know board members are paid and more would apply if they did. What have they done to educate students besides advertising in their own newspaper, The AS Review? It's hard to believe the board of directors is unbiased in its advertising with four members on this year's board and 11 AS members run for election. Why solicit competition? The more the AS advertises and the more candidates that file, the better the AS will serve students. The wider variety of candidates, the **" wider the variety of views. While experienced candidates offer intimate knowledge of how the AS works, re-electing the status quo hardly constitutes a healthy democratic government. New candidates can learn quickly and their newer views outweigh their inexperience. If any student feels the AS needs to tackle an issue, that student needs to get out there, collect the 150 signatures necessary and file for election. Otherwise, the AS will continue its empty promises to lower book prices and improve transportation.

And we quote: "The secret to creativity is knowing how to conceal your sources." â€”Albert Einstein, physicist Sweet spring BY BRADLEY THAYER Assorted Flavors Spring quarter is here and I don't know about you, but I feel warm and fuzzy for multiple reasons. First and foremost, getting back from spring break makes it easy for all of us conversationally challenged people out there. If. you see someone you wouldn't normally spill your guts to, a loose acquaintance, perhaps, you have an automatic conversation starter. Simply say, "How was your spring .' break?" It's like Spaghetti-O's. Just pop it in the microwave and you're good to go. Except it isn't nearly as satisfying. In fact, it's pretty dull. Generally, you'll receive one of three responses: A. Dude, it was sick. I got so drunk I don't even remember what country I was in. B. Pretty low key, just hung out at home with my family. C. It sucked, my girlfriend dumped me. I went to a funeral with my family and the next day I went skiing hung over. I started puking on the chairlift, fell off, broke both legs and my left arm. My right ski punctured my liver and damaged it so badly it ~ can't function, and now I can never drink again. Then, a bear came out from behind a tree and mistook my ass for a beehive. That last response isn't dull and you laugh about it later over a beer with friends, but you feel bad. The weather improves this quarter, right? Well, I don't mean to defecate on your birthday cake, but I assure you it won't. I am not saying girls won't start dressing in tighter, fruit-bearing clothing. They will, and I look forward to that. But, they'll be fooling themselves into believing the weather has improved. We liye in Bellirigham. The weather is gorgeous in the summer, not thespring. During the academic year, the sky mostly sports some shade of gray. Notice how it rained on the first day of classes? A few sunny days will pepper this 'The weather improves this quarter, right? Well, I don't mean to defecate on your birthday cake, but I assure you it won't. I am hot saying girls won't start dressing in tighter, fruit-bearing clothing. They will, and I look forward to that.' quarter, but I'm still packing a poncho. Another great thing about spring is everyone begins individual pushes to get in shape for the summer. If I knocked it, I'd be a hypocrite. Spring is a great excuse to work out. I tried getting in shape last quarter by running daily, but I treated it likeJdid- Lentas asyouHg Catholic. Everybody in the church tries yearly to imitate what Jesus when he fasted in the desert for 40 days by giving something up. Josh Hartnett gave up sex in "40 Days and 40 Nights." One time I gave up cussing and I started out with the best, honest intentions. I lasted three weeks. Then I said: "eff that shit," and used the excuse I'm surprised more people don't use â€” "Well, I gave it a fair shot. Guess Jesus was a better man thanl." This quarter, things are even looking up for me academically, but the usual pitfalls still exist. The main _ one is fourth-floor classes. Whose bright idea was it to make buildings on campus this tall in the first place? When I first saw that I had a class in Room 420 of the Communications Facility, I laughed. I was ecstatic. I thought it was the greatest thing since Smucker's put peanut butter and jelly in the same jar. But after I walked four flights of stairs on the first day, I wanted to die. My chest heaved and I slowly began to fall backward before I grabbed the railing and dragged myself up the final steps. I could take the elevator, but I've tricked my lazy ass into thinking I have a phobia so I get some exercise. If I witness an elevator open to completion, whichever floor it stops on next is the number of days I have left to live. Needless to say, if you see someone running and screaming away from an elevator, it's me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Another bright spot for me was the absence of a 700-milUon-foot line at the bookstore â€” I didn't have to wait two hours to fork over half my life's savings. I even narrowly avoided taking an 8 a.m. class. As I dropped it, I swear the clouds in the sky parted, choruses of angels sang and I was consumed with a bright, warm light. Spring quarter is a new beginning like newborn bunnies. That's what. I picture when I think spring. I say be the bunnies, start fresh and make copious amounts of love to what is clearly.the best quarter of the academic year here at Western. ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 15 ---------- APRIL 4,2006 OPINIOISJS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢15 Absolutei You've got^ kidding.

Release of Abu Ghraib photos jfopaixlizes troop s i f i^ BY Bows KURBANOV The Western Front Pictures may be worth more man a thousand words after all, ifme U.S. government doesn't act soon. The Bush administration V efforts to suppress disturbing images of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison came to a halt March 28, after a court order required the Department of Defense to turn over photographs and videos documenting the abuse, according to a March 29 CNN.com article. The decision is the resuh of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit against the department in October 2003. The ACLU wanted the department to release documents related to abuse of detaineesheld m U.S. custody aoioad, according to an Aiig. 13,2005, Washington Post article. The right to freedom of information overturned me claim that me release ofthe photos wc gt;uldtanu^tlte nation's image and fuelterrorism if me govenirnent released the pictures. After the release of the infamous Abu Ghraib photos in May 2004, the American liberators became worse than the Iraqi dictators in the eyes of the international community. Critics of the decision, such as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers, warned the department that releasing photos and videotapes of detainee abuse and torture at Abu Ghraib aids al-Qaeda recruitment, weakens the new government in Iraq and incites riots against U.S. troops, according to the Washington Post article. Myers is right What makes abetter recruitment poster for terrorists than a picture of a hooded prisorier hooked to electrical wires? The release of the photos is not a victory for the public's right.to know about theabuseof detainees held in U.S. custody abroad, Images such as these jeopardize the security ofU.S. troops and the security ofthe United States by giving terrorists an excuse to kill Americans. The: media shouldbe more discreet about rdeasing photos that only help America's enemies' causes around the world. International media outlets, such as Al-Jazeera, have sensationalized the Ami Ghraib scandal. This coverage promotes increased hatred toward, the United States to potential terrorists who see it as an imperialistic nation see RESTRAINT, page 16 Now Pre-leasing for Summer and Fall!!! m* Adrik PJQCC: ^^/MamisS^^A4^ed townhouses w/ 2 bath, 1 2 car garages/ yards.

She doesn't set a particularly high moral standard for her younger female fans regarding premarital sex either. It's hard for Spears to overcome the eternally- : pubescent teen idol image her critics bind her to. For years, Spears sang about the heartache of trying to gain acceptance as a mature, grown woman. Songs such as "Overprotected" or "I'm â€” Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" illustrate a mature woman, desperate to find her place in an adult world foreign to her. Nothing shouts womanhood like stretch marks and heaving lactiferous breasts. 'Nothing shouts womanhood like stretch marks and heaving lactiferous breasts.' Sure, a baby and stroller show she is responsible enough to sustain another human life for more than a week, but the sculpture is also about her incomplete quest for womanhood. How could her opponents deny her the chance to show off . . her widened hips, bulging stomach and maternal figure? Edwards' art shows that Spears is a slave to no one. Not to her parents, the media and certainly, not to traditional ideologies of â€”â€”â€”â€” post-marital pregnancy. In fact, she is an inspiration and should be celebrated the way Edwards embraced her in his art. As she sang in her 2000 hit "Stronger," she is stronger than yesterday; her loneliness isn't killing her any more. Restraint: Pictures endanger U.S. soldiers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 prying into the Middle East for its own economic and political interests. Images of Army Pfc. Lynndie England, one of the U.S. soldiers now famous for her role in the abuse at Abu Ghraib, pointing at a man's genitals or giving a thumbs-up behind a pyramid of naked bodies tarnishes America's image with Iraqis, with Muslims and with the rest of the world. If Iraqi insurgents took American soldiers as prisoners, they would-be unlikely to treat them humanely knowing the Bush administration has no regard for the rights of prisoners. President George W. Bush's dismal 36 percent approval rating, according to a March 14 Gallup Poll, and the public's increasing uneasiness with the war in Iraq have not gone unnoticed by insurgents and terrorists. They want the growing political opposition at home to force Bush to call for withdrawal of troops. The media should consider censoring such images to respect the bravery of the men and women of the U.S. military who are fighting and dying to protect the nation. Networks that broadcast these photos should keep the troops' safety and well-being in mind. Bush's failures in Iraq may adversely affect the troops, but overemphasizing the images can only lead to a lengthening of the quagmire in Iraq. The success of the American war effort in Iraq crucially depends on retaining public support in the United States and winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi citizens. The images leaked from Abu Ghraib are undennining that task and the military's ability to convince Iraqis to support the United States' plan for democracy in the already unstable country.

Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Miss Carter has been singing since she was four, and when she was thirteen, she took up music as a career. Studying in New York under Oscar Seagle and later with Nadia Boulanger, she has sung with many oratorio societies and in concert. Miss Carter was the leading soprano with the Philadelphia Opera Company, and has appeared with the Boston Symphony, the' National Symphony Orchestra, and the CBS .orchestra, under Howard Barlow. Next Friday's assembly is the dance recital by Eleanor King. Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference. Mr. E. L. Lindman of the state department told of the individual differences in children. Mrs. Beryl Bruff of Lowell School accepted the challenge for the schools of the state of Washington. Then followed a symposium on special service agencies and departments which are ready to help the schools: Mr. W. H. Dutton gave a summary of the morning session. Miss Erickson adjourned the meeting to go to Edens Hall for luncheon.

''"'" " Much Needed Staff Directory Board Under Construction Do you know where to find the office of your history teacher? If a visitor asked you, could you direct him to librarian's office or the office of the janitor? Nearly every student on the campus has at one time been in this embarrassing predicament, where he cannot locate a particular faculty member. For the past three years plans have been projected for a guide which would solve the problem. Though none of these plans ma- , terialized, a start on a "directory was made this spring by Lorna Jean Booras and Marilyn Anderson, WW Collegian staff members. This summer another staf member, Pat Bellingharn, is working on this catalogue of offices. Upon completion, the directory, which will be of wood construction, will carry the names and office numbers of ail faculty and administrative assistants, listed alphabetically, under department "headings. As. now planned, the directory will be placed inside the entrance to the main building on the left hand side of the stairway., Next Industrial Trip To Plywood Plant The next industrial tripwill be taken through the Plwood plant on Tuesda^ afternoon, July 18th.

With no more warning than an almost inaudible swish, a portion of Mt. Baker swooped down upon an unexpecting party of young collegiate hikers. When the slide had completed its mission of death, a count of the party revealed that six of its members were missing. JULIUS DORNBLUT, ALICE JAMES, MAYNARD HOWATT, HOPE WEIT- .MAN, VENE FISHER, and BEULAH LINDBERG did not answer roll call which was sounded off .by hike leaders, ,L. A. McGee, Chet Ullin and Don Cross. They were dead. Death is a five letter word that means a lot. Not only does it mean just dying, but what after that. Those six young people, climbing Mt. Baker, full of happy thoughts, didn't want to die, but that's the way death is. You never know. That's why out of due respect and in memory of those people, we, who are still alive, should think more about the meaning of the word. Maybe it's just fear that doesn't let us think too strongly on the subject. If it is fear that does it, let it be so. For it is not a fear that deprives one of the use of his reason, but rather o fear that clarifies the atmosphere of the mind and sharpens the powers of reason itself. It is not fear that causes the mind to be "sicklied" with the pale cast of thought, but rather the mind that has become sluggish through unrestrained passion, the mind of the person that adopts the philosophy of eat, drink and be merry, but without the thought that tomorrow one may die. He is satisfied to know that he is alive and well. He rarely reflects on why he is at all or on what is the An architect's plans of a Memorial for those students who lost their lives on the slopes of Mt. Baker five years ago are now almost completely fulfilled. Situated on the hillside between Edens Halland the administrative building on the Campus, this memorial lacks only the addition of mountain shrubbery and the bronze name plates. Name placques for the six students will be placed on the inside of the rock wall which has been so designed as4o form a bench. Bronze, which will be used'for the plates will not be purchased until after the war. The memorial has been planned with the thought that students will use the memorial as a place for lounging, sun bathing, or studying. A committee, composed of WWC students and Miss Hazel Plympton, ultimate meaning and purpose of life *? department, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, who was a member of The memory of those six young people will live long in the hearts of the faculty and the school. You just don't forget things such as that. A memorial has been erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate plaques as soon as the war ceases. The following is a short poem written especially for BEULAH LINDBERG, ALICE JAMES, HOPE WEITMAN, JULIUS DORNBLUT, VENE FISHER and MAYNARD HOWATTc The author is Charles E. Butler. Former WWC Reference Librarian. . MEMORIAL POEM Now you will be forever young: Nowyou 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. the industrial arts staff, worked with architects to plan this monument!

Then followed observation of classroom procedure in which special attention was given to individual differences among pupils. There were nine groups of observers, each group going to a different classroom in the Campus school. Dr. Grim conducted a tour of the whole Campus Elementary School Building before luncheon.l The afternoon session was a Workshop in the Problems of Hearing and a Workshop in the Problems of Speech. The conference was adjourned at 5 o'clock. Tragic Outing Remembered Today is the fifth anniversary of the Mt. Baker tragedy, which killed six former members of the student body during a summer quarter hike up the steep slopes of the mountain. The accident occurred on a Sunday morning in the month of July, The party of 25 WWC students were trudging their way along beneath the Roman Wall on the last stage of the hike. Six of the party were swept to their death with only two bodies being recovered. As it gathered up momentum the avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the group. Early reports had it 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 body of Alice James, then president of Edens Hall, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy overhang, while the body of former Collegian editor, Julius Dornblut was discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice. ROAD IMPROVEMENTS WELJ- UNDERWAY George Dack, WWC head gardener for WWC has done a swell job of "blacktopping" the road, over to the PE building from the parking lot at the side of the main building.

Moving from a member of the coaching staff of the Everett school system, Healy has accepted a position as head coach at Bellarmine high school, Tacoma.

Other than that, -according to "Marmie" they haven't been doing "nuttin." Myrtle Burnham from Vancouver, Washington was her guest.

"At the time 1 went to school the Viking office was located in the science wing," he mused. Admiring the new Collegian headquarters, Barney commented on the special office for the Klipsun and Navigator. His eyes lit up as he reminisced about the Bluebook, the name of the student guide book in the 20's. "One*year," he recalled, "I obtained permission from the board of control to print a. directory of student names, addresses and telephone numbers. -As I remember, I had to drop this undertaking business because I was earning too much money," ~ Barney is at: present principal of the Hawthorne School and supervisor of the Youth Centers of Seattle Public Schools.

Moved by Dr. Mahan that the three normal school principals also make recommendations, through their Board of Trustees, to the State legislature, with reference to the distribution of the interest and lease money derived from normal school lands. Motion seconded and carried unanimously. A general discussion then followed touching matters of vital interest to the three normal schools, which was finally embodied in the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the three normal schools that we recommend as follows: (1) That the school year shall begin on the first Tuesday in September, of each year, and close about the first of June following. (2) That the summer session shall begin on the Monday following the annual Commencement, and close not later than August first following. (3) That the month of August shall be known as the regular midsummer vacation. (4) It shall be the duty of the principals of the three normal schools each year before the publication of the annual catalogues, to prepare a uniform calendar for use in all of the normal schools in the state for the following school year. (5) The salaries of all teachers regularly employed by the WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 083 1912-04-26 normal schools in the State shall be paid, each year, in twelve equal monthly payments, beginning with September; but it shall be understood that the salary of any teacher shall not be paid for the months of June and July, when such teacher, at his own request, is excused by the Board of Trustees from teaching in the summer session of the institution for that year, and it shall further be understood that each member of any faculty shall, without prejudice, be entitled to be excused from work in a summer session each alternate year, under conditions stated in this paragraph. (6) That teachers who may wish to be excused from service in any summer school session shall so signify such desire to the Principal not later than April 1st preceding the summer session. Moved and carried that it is the sense of this meeting that a uniform contract would be advantageous, and that the matter be submitted to Mr. Lund to prepare a draft with a view of having same approved and adopted by each of the normal schools. Moved and carried that we heartily endorse the Page Bill now pending in the United States Congress, and that we co-operate in every possible way to bring about its final passage during the present session. Touching the Page bill, the following resolution was adopted: "We believe the Page Bill provides more completely and more adequately for all the provisions of practical education than any bill of similar character having been proposed in our national legislative body. We feel that such a measure will guarantee a basis for the furtherance of this all-important educational work which is both needed and demanded throughout our country."

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 084 1912-04-26 The principal presented the appended: State Normal School Bellingham, Washington. To the Board of Trustees: The regular session of the school year for 1911-1912 will close Wednesday, June 5th, and the work of the year has witnessed a number of important improvements. Among these improvements may be mentioned the completion of the organization of the high school department in the training school; the addition of assistant teachers in the departments of English, foreign languages and home economics; the construction of some thirty oak book cases, the purchase of nearly one thousand volumes for the library and the employment of an assistant for this department; the erection of an open-air school building; the construction of a dozen pieces of playground apparatus; the installation of several drinking fountains, and the purchase of more than four thousand dollars' worth of apparatus for the various departments of the institution. While there has been no increase in the attendance over the previous year, the requirements for admission have been raised, and several new elective courses have been offered. The outlook for the summer session of 1912 and for the coming school year is very encouraging, and, in order that adequate preparation may be made for the session of the coming year, the following items are respectfully submitted for the consideration of the Board of Trustees. First: There is urgent need for an additional critic teacher in our training department. The gradual increase in the enrollment in our junior and senior classes has likewise increased the number of practice teachers each quarter, until at present it is necessary for certain critic teachers each to attempt to supervise, some quarters of the year, daily, the work of twenty-five to thirty practice teachers. It will be necessary to pay $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 per year for this additional teacher. It can probably be arranged so that the employment of this additional supervisor may be delayed until February, 1913, but we urge the desirability of formally establishing the position at this time, so that the work for the coming year may be intelligently outlined and assigned. Second: The establishment of the ninth and tenth grades in the training school has increased the enrollment of that department until we have at present about 160 children in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades, one half of whom are boys. These eighty boys, together with the forty young men in the normal school, should be given additional opportunities for industrial training. The work in manual training offered in the institution at present is highly satisfactory for the girls in all classes of the institution, and these is plenty of work, with the girls alone, to occupy the full time of the two teachers now in the department. We recommend, therefore, the establishment of a department of industrial training for men, and the employment of a young man, for this coming year, if possible, to take charge of the work in manual training for the boys of all grades and classes in the institution. To carry forward this work successfully, this young man should be provided with materials from which to contruct, with student labor, a small wooden building in which to carry on his work. The salary for this position should be not less than $1,200.00 for the first year. Third: The very limited appropriation granted to this institution by the legislature for general printing purposes has, for a number of years, proven a constant handicap in the daily work as well as in the general advertising features of the institution. We believe, therefore, that it would be wise to provide equipment for a small printing office in the institution and have the same operated as a part of our regular manual training work. In this way, much printing could be done for the school with practically no cost except for materials used. Such an equipment need not cost more than $200.00 for the first year, as we already have considerable available material in our equipment for the writerpress, which is a printing machine for duplicating typewritten work. Fourth: During the past year, through a temporary arrangement, we have been able to give the young men of the school some systematic instruction in physical training, and by an expenditure of about $30.00 to $40.00 per month, this arrangement could be continued through another school year, and thus provide competent physical instruction for the young man, both in the gymnasium and on the athletic field. The young men of the normal school and of the high school grades have petitioned for this work, and it should, if possible, be provided. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 085 1912-04-26 Fifth: Owing to the failure of Mr. T. A. Bonser, of Spokane, to report for work in the department of zoology last September, it was necessary, just at the opening of the school year, to reorganize, to a limited extent, the assignments for work in the science departments for the current school year; but in the judgment of the writer, little loss was sustained as a result of the readjustment, and it is not believed that it will be necessary to fill that department for the coming year; but some provision should be made for carrying on the work of the department. We suggest two or three methods for taking care of this question: (a) The department may be continued and Mr. Moodie given the position of Professor of Botany and Acting Professor of Zoology. (b) The two departments might be consolidated into one general department to be called the "department of biology." If this is done, it will be necessary for teachers in other departments to assist in the work of this department, which is not always satisfactory or desirable, from the standpoint of members of the faculty. (c) The work of zoology might be added to the department of botany, and the work in physiology and hygiene added to the department of school nurse. By this plan, we probably could provide satisfactorily for the work of the department, for the present at least, and this we believe is the most desirable solution of the problem. In making this re-adjustment, it is recommended that the salaries of the teachers in the departments affected be reconsidered and suitable increases granted. Sixth. No department in the institution has met with more universal endorsement than that of Home Economics, and this department is seriously in need of additional room. By a readjustment of our museum, a large part of the third floor of the science building may be made available for this department, but the alterations necessary to render the rooms suitable for domestic science work would cost probably $250.00. If the Home economics department were moved to the third floor, the Y. W. C. A. might be moved to the basement, which would give an additional room for the high school work, and this will be needed in the near future. Unless we can see our way clear to erect a cottage within two or three years for the home economics department, the readjustment suggested above should be made at the first opportunity. Seventh. It is recommended that the Trustees authorize the further investigation of available lands for a demonstration garden, and that such steps be taken as may be necessary to lease land upon which to begin such demonstration work not later than April, 1915. Eighth: The resignation of Miss Ruth A. Gottlieb, as School Nurse, makes it necessary to secure a new instructor for that position. The importance and steady growth of this work make it imperative that the position shall not be left vacant for the coming year, and a number of letters of inquiry have already been sent out asking for candidates for the position. Ninth. We beg to report the resignation of Prof. G. Sidney Stark, as teacher of stringed instruments, and wish to recommend strongly Mrs. Mamie Davenport Engberg, of this city, to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Stark. We recommend, further, that the position be tendered Mrs. Engberg upon the same or similar terms as were accepted by Mr. Stark. Tenth. A study of the Recommendations passed at the joint meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the three State Normal Schools, held in Cheney, April 3rd, 1912, will suggest the need of a readjustment of the salaries of our faculty if these recommendations are adopted by this Board. The following brief analysis of the question will suggest the minimum increase in salaries that will approximately cover the extra service demanded of each teacher. At present, we really demand of each teacher three weeks of Summer school work in addition to the regular school year to entitle him to pay for all twelve months in the year. Under the new plan proposed, each teacher will be required to work about seven or eight weeks in addition to the regular school year to be entitled to pay for all twelve months of the calendar year, which means that we will require about one month more of work under the new plan WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 086 1912-04-26 from each teacher annually than we require under the present plan. It seems clear, therefore, that we must increase the salary of each teacher at least by the amount of one month of his salary if we are to compensate him for the extra service required under the new contract. This will mean an increase of $3,650.00 for the year and will increase the cost of salaries about $2,130 for the remainder of the present biennium. In the light of other urgent needs, as outlined above, this question of readjustment of salaries should receive very careful and yet, if possible, favorable consideration. All of which is respectfully submitted. Principal. The principal was authorized to investigate the matter of securing a man to assist in the teaching on the Manual Training department. He was also authorized to purchase a small printing press and some type. He was further authorized to engage a student assistant in the department of Physical Culture at a salary of from $30.00 to $40.00 per month. Miss Montgomery appeared before the Board by request to present her grievance that Miss Gray had been sent to Spokane to attend a meeting of the deans of the northwestern state schools while she, Miss Montgomery, had not been granted expenses to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire State Teachers association at Pendleton, Oregon, several years ago. The discussion extended over an hour but no action was taken. Trustee Donovan read a personal letter from Governor Hay announcing that he had been compelled to postpone his visit to Bellingham and this school until about the 20th of May. The chairman offered the written resignation, addressed to him, of Miss Gottlieb as School Nurse in the Department of Hygiene to take effect Sept. 1st, 1912. It was ordered that the resignation be accepted. The appended bills were approved for payment: MAINTENANCE FUND J. Wayland Clark, Registrar, Revolving Fund - $386.75. Ehrlich-Harrison Co. - 98.40.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20.

Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E.

She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

If the student wishes to write let him put his talent in this line to better advantage and let him realize t h a t he is writing for his school paper and t h a t the school paper is above discussing such a crude subject. a By Barney I SAY, OLD BEAN, THIS ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 May 20 - Page 3 ---------- • . ^ m m m m m m m m a W$m0099S!!zSSSS^£ ,. mm ia K?; gt;:v •••.'-•• NOR BY Many interesting events occurred on the last Viking baseball trip. It was learned that a carnival was going in full blast at Ellensburg, and as a result McClurken was connected with it.

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon.

Tlotes By WALT BAKER NORSE NOTES We all wonder sometimes, just what goal the United Nations and we, as individuals, have in mind as to why we ore fighting. Even the men on the fighting fronts wonder as well as the populace ot home. We just can't say this is the war to vend all wars, or that we want to exterminate certain racial groups^ The proceeding reasons hold a .semblance of truth, but we have and should have more solid reasoning and more facts on just what our ultimate aim will be. We are a nation at war and the ultimate aim of War is peace. Peacej however, is far more than the cessation of armed conflict. Opponents in battle may cease fighting because of exhaustion of material or man-power, problems the Axis nations face today. A truce, and even weather may enter the problem. These, however, are not sighs of peace, for the causes of the conflict have not been removed. The controversy has not been settled. Neither side has given up. Hostilities are merely suspended, to flare up again when circumstances permit. No, peace is more than tranquility. It is tranquility grounded in order, and in an order of justice, in law, rather than in armed might. THE ENEMY'S PEACE The peace our enemies see, and the only one they are fighting tooth and nail for, on their own admission, is a conqueror's paradise. Ic is a world ruled by force, maintained by force and administered by force. It is an order dominated by men" rather than by "laws, an" order in which there' are one or more master minds arid master nations for that matter, with the others held in bondage and suffering oppression. Their so-called new order, already imposed upon the nations they have conquered, and are losing one by one, is not really new, but a reversion to a pre- Christian pagan order, and without the saving graces even of the ancient order. IN CONTRAST: By contrast, the peace we are fighting' for is a world, not of oppressions, but of freedoms. "This free-ness, this liberty," declare our leaders, "this precious thing men love and mean to save, is the granite ledge on which the United Nations now propose to raise their new world after victory... These freedoms are: freedom of speech, of worship, and freedom from want and fear... It is not claimed that this list of freedom's is exhaustive, that men may have no others... But it is asserted that these four are the basic ones to democratic living, and that they are so interdependent that where one is missing, all of the others suffer. BASKETBALL: Tomorrow night, Coach Charles Lappenbusch and his right hand assistant, Cale Campbell, will send the up-and-down Viking casaba squad, who will be playing the role of modern David against a strong and versatile University of Washington team, starred in the role of Goliath in the first game of a top notch home and home series. Last year's Viking squad, also playing the role of o David, met the UW team and literally scared the pants off the powerful purple and gold outfit from Seattle, when they dropped two heart-breakers to the Huskies. Let's do our part, and every last one of us, including the faculty, turn out there to support the wearers of the Blue and White. FLASH!! All students must enter the East door of the gym Saturday night and will-be required to sit in the section reserved for the student body ticket holders. This measure will be enforced to the fullest extent because of the large crowd expected and the room that will be taken up by the 35-piece Mount Baker School band, which will furnish.the' music for the evening. So students, let's all co-operate with this arrangement and make up a solid WWC section on the east side. Violinist Brosa Guest Here Antonio Brosa, violinist, was guest soloist at the assembly held Tuesday, January 16, in the'College Auditorium. Mr. Brosa, who was accompanied at the piano by John Sundsten, presented a program of outstanding classical numbers. Mr. Brosa's concert career began at the age of ten. So great was his success, he was awarded a scholarship- to study violin in Brussels. Instead of returning to his native country, Spain, he continued to win praise from concerts given in England. Former Staff Boss Lost in Action Al Biggs, former WWCollegian editor and now a sergeant in the U. S. army air corps, has been reported missing in action over Hungary since December 11, according to word received here this week. .Biggs entered the service in 1943, and upon completion of his training as a radioman, he was assigned to the crew of a B-24. In August, 1944, he was sent overseas. Last November he was awarded the air medal with two oak leaf clusters for meritorious achievement while over enemy territory. He served as editor of the 1940- '41 Collegian and as sports editor the previous year. His wife, the former Betty Rusher, who also served as a member of the WWCollegian staff, is now living with her parents in Bremerton. Coming Assemblies Arouse Interest As a prelude to the Viking's big game against the U of Washington Huskies tomorrow night, the yell leaders, Merrie Virginia Eggers and Charlotte Samples, led a few yells in assembly this morning. The results were loud and spontaneous. There will be an AWS business meeting on Tuesday, January 23, in the Blue room of Edens hall. After the business has been taken care of, Miss Frances Simas will speak on the Orient. All AWS members are invited to come. VOL.

Rangy Lad DON MCMILLAN Big Don McMillan, veteran Husky center/ will lead the Washington trainee squad when it tangles with Coach Lappen-busch's much-improved Vikings Saturday night at 8 in the college pavilion. Last year, McMillan broke the single game scoring record with 34 points. He is playing his third year of varsity ball for the Huskies, and is an excellent pivot man around the keyhole. Hec Edmundson, UW coach, will depend a lot on McMillan's scoring in the Huskie's offence. Record Crowd Anticipated Vikings Out To Win Grudge Game; Huskies, Beware! The University of Washington Huskies, coached by Hec Edmund-son, will meet the Western Washington Vikings this Saturday evening at the college gymnasium. Game time, 8 p; m.

Baker high school will have their thirty-five piece band, dressed in full Scottish kilts to play for the fans during the game. Show Rehearsals Now Underway All major acts for the Winter Show axe now cast, and at least two already are in rehearsal. All parts have not been filled as yet, however, so the names of the complete cast can not yet be given. «, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe reported that they were very pleased with try-outs, _as_ some fifteen people tried out for chorus rolls* and about eight presented specialty acts. Many of these will be used in the show. A roller skating act is the latest addition to the show. It features Crystal Ackerman, Cynthia Systma, and Joan Martinson. According to advance reports, it promises to be one of the high-iights of the pro-* duction. ; ' The show is scheduled for sometime in the early part of March. Ex-Viking Athlete Missing Word was received from the War Department this last week that former Viking football captain and All-Winco guard choice, Lt. James Hollings-worth is missing in action over Europe. He is shown above Coach Lappenbusch in his football days at WWC. Jim flew P-61 fighter and had previously shot down eight Germans in one day.

Hoppe, who have done such a swell job of getting the winter show plans drawn up and put into action. A vote of thanks go too, to the advisory committee who have helped plan what we hear will be a tremendous success. And last but not least, we congratulate all the students who tried out for parts. Upon the performers will depend the success and we know that no matter how large or how small your part may be that you will do it even better than we expect. OUR FUTURE I don't know if any of you have thought much about the G. I. Bill of Rights, which was passed fast year but I was asked to read an article the other day on it which appeared recently in Colliers magazine. It was written by Robert M. Hutchins, President of the University of Chicago. Dr. Hutchins' father visited our campus last quarter. After this war is over, and between now and then, boys will be returning to college campuses to finish their interrupted education. According to the provisions of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, every man who has been in the service 90 days or longer will reap the benefit of free schooling at the expense of the government. The bill providing this sounds very good when casually mentioned,, but there can be and is a lot more to the situation than is apparent at first thought. All of these matters will someday affect us and many of our friends who are now serving in the armed forces. As the post-war leaders of this nation, we should be examining the future that our elders are making for us. As Dr. Hutchins points out, unless some changes are made in the G. I. BilPof Rights, "colleges and universities will find themselves converted into educational hoWJ jungles." It's about time we, who have the opportunity for education now, look over our wall of seclusion to see how we can help those who are helping us now. By SEARL You say you want to hear You say you want to know, Stay around friends, 'Cause here I go Of Mice and Men; Patsy Cooper (Heroine of the Week) is official "Mouse Exterminator" at Edens Hall. She now receives a gold star for each new victim for mice, of course. Speaking of murder, Cupie Clement has a certain dance step for "The Three Caballeros" that can not be surpassed or is it just good exercise for your daily doesn't, Cupie? Dancing also seems to-be one of Donna Flakes favorite pastimes, (her latest professional contribution involves falling on the 'floor, then resuming the natural position Careful, Donna, you're apt to fall hard some day. It is being hushed about from place to place that Joyce Ackley and Mildred Spromberg plus two men in navy blue were seen walking at midnight on the highway toward Lake Whatcom the scenery is lovely out there in the moonlight. While we're on the subject of hearing things We understand Merry Virginia Eggers doesn't ever pass up a dare .but has she proved that????? A certain fed head proved she can get out of a rut congratulations. House Hooey RAGAN'S RAMBLNGS Thump! Thump! Thump! Go -the muscles, Slap! Slap! Slap! Go then-hands, Stop! Stop! Stop! Scream the "house" mates but the exercises continue. They pound, they bend, they twist, and the house resounds with many groans, for three girls from Ragan's are determined to get those sylph-like figures through the noisy, and now famous exercises, of a certain well-advertised success course. HARBORVIEW HAILS In spite of gas rationing, the girls at Harborview Hall enjoyed a five course progressive dinner Wednesday night. They were served shrimp cocktails, tomato soup, jellied salad, stew, and a surprise birthday cake for Gerry Leek. Favorable comments can still be heard about the new method of traveling from room to room on foot, instead of using precious gas to go from house to house. A good place to go to enjoy some hot jive is Harborview's Blue room, where Corky Urfer can be heard really beating it out at the piano, all hours of the day. Good athletes turning out for sports this year are Eleanor Anderson, Ruby Stroebel and Corky Urfer, swimming; and Mavis Danley, basketball. Good way to get rid of that surplus energy, isnt it? Peggy (out of things) Sorenson lost her shoes in the lounge the other *day. Best advice Peg; don't let loose of things you don't want to lose. Pauline Brue and Stu Moldrem (Ex-student of WWC), sketchy kids have fun drawing the characters of the school how about that, Joan Haggard? Oh, well! gossips have a keen sense of rumor. It's not a rumor that the Sip and - Bite is fast becoming a popular find-'em-here place. They have the space to dance and the nick is due any day now. (Note: good records too). A dream come true. A dream came true when the basketball bounced in' favor of WWC at the game with the Coast Guard proud we are to be rooters for WWC. Question of the Week!!!

Get in Paper; Wrap it Up If you have ever wished to get some article of yours in a newspaper, here's just the way to do it. We offer the following rules which we trust will prove of value: Take the newspaper and, opening it, Jay it on the floor. Smooth out the creases with the hand. Having selected the article place it in the center of the paper and carefully turn the edges over, folding them so as to make a neat package. Now, with a strong cord, take a turn about the parcel lengthwise; then one crosswise. Knot securely with a square, round1, oval or conical knot and the task is complete. These directions, of course, apply only to small articles, such as combs, sandwiches, shoes and bottles. You cannot get large articles like lawn mowers, baby carriages or a student lounge chair in a newspaper!

Foster Veteran on__ Viking Ball Club Now playing his third season of basketball under Coach Lappen-busch is Paul Poster, sophomore basketeer from Puyallup, Wash. Having had a very wide back-ground in athletics, Paul excels in swimming and basketball. Because of this experience, Paul is one of the finest ball handlers in these parts, and has a keen sense for set- ' ting up plays. A likeable fella if there ever was one, Paul returned to WWC this fall, and was immediately elected president of the Norsemen. This soon led to his unanimous choice as captain of the basketball team as soon as .the season had rolled around. In addition he carries on many other activities. As the season is well under way now, it can easily be seen that Paul's services wjll be invaluable to Coach Lappenbusch and the Vikings for the season of 1945. highly touted Huskies, the Viks will throw everything they have at the visitors in an attempt to win. Coach Lappenbusch has had his squad hard at work all week long and they should be in tip-top shape for the Huskies. v Both the Huskies and Vikings have played the Whidby Navalairs, with Washington taking a trouncing and the Viks breaking even in two games.

By MOLLY MALONEY The Western Front Western students could be enrolled in a class taught by one of the most dangerous professors in America, according to conservative commentator David Horowitz. Horowitz names Fairhaven College associate professor Larry J. Estrada as a danger in his book "The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America," released Feb. 13. With the help of online voting, Estrada said he could be No. 1 on the most dangerous list. Estrada, the American cultural studies program director at Western, said he has mixed feelings about Horowitz including him in the book. "At first I was startled, and then wondered who the other 100 professors were," Estrada said. "The truth is I could be in much worse company, with Noam Chomsky, Derrick Bell and Bettina Aptheker also making the list. I've felt bemusement, pride and anger. I felt like my accomplishments and words were distorted and mischaracterized by Horowitz." see LIST, page 5 Whatcom women welcome Morse to hall of fame BY MEGAN LUM The Western Front The Northwest Women's Hall of Fame will induct Western's first female president, Karen Morse, into its ranks of outstanding Whatcom County women on March 19. Morse, who became president of Western in 1993, said she knows two Western women whom the hall of fame inducted over the past eight years, including director of prevention and wellness services Pat Fabiano and athletic director Lynda Goodrich.

The Whatcom County Council currently lists Sudden Valley as a recreation area. gt; The council removed Sudden Valley from the urban growth community list Feb. 28, after the council passed an emergency ordinance to thwart Sudden Valley's attempt at becoming incorporated and developing into a city, council chairwoman Laurie Caskey-Schreiber said. Sudden Valley, located 8 miles east of Bellingham, officially applied for city status on Feb. 24, and could petition for entry onto the November ballot, said Steve Grieser, Sudden Valley community association general manager. CHRIS JOSEPH TAYLOR / THE WESTERN FRONT The Sudden Valley community on the west side of Lake Whatcom is requesting to become a city. Future commercial and industrial development there may increase pollution in Bellingham's water reservoir. The council voted to remove Sudden Valley from the list to ensure the area around Lake Whatcom remains decongested by development. At the Feb. 28 meeting, the council was concerned that city near Lake Whatcom could damage the watershed. see DEVELOPMENT, page 4 UPFEST SUCCESS Local benefit concert festival raised $5,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief.

Compiled by Michael Lycklama Mayor to delay greenway vote BYDANGROHL The Western Front In a 4-3 vote, the Bellingham City Council approved a greenway levy proposal Monday, which could allocate up to $43 million to Bellingham parks. However, the public is not likely to vote on the land protection measure in the upcoming special election in May, Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson said. Asmundson said he would veto any city council decision that does not have at least five members in favor of the proposal in the final council vote regarding the levy this Monday. Even ifhe didn't veto the levy, Bellingham voters would still be unlikely to pass the levy without the council's consensus, Asmundson said. He suggested the council work on the ordinance for the levy and decide on a final version in time for the Sept. 19 primary election. The council agreed with the mayor's suggestion, council president Gene Knutson said. "Greenway will not die if we don't put a package together today," Knutson said. "We need to do this right It is too important to just push though." The measure the council approved on Monday would allow the city to collect $43 million in taxes over 10 years, councilman John Watts said. - The council has the final say on any change in the distribution of the funds and is likely to use the $43 million for the acquisition, development, improvements and maintenance of greenways, parks and trails in Bellingham, Asmundson said. Monday's vote is the last opportunity for the council to put the land protection measure-on the May 16 ballot for voters. If the council does not pass the measure in the final vote, the next chance for a public vote is in the September election. Council member Barbara Ryan said Chuckanut Ridge needs to be one of the council's priorities if the council wants the levy to pass on the ballot. MAP COURTESY OF THE CITY OF BELLINGHAM Purchasing land on Chuckanut Ridge is one of the proposed ways to spend money generated by a greenway levy. Supporters say purchasing land on Chuckanut Ridge would protect it from Bellingham's future growth, such as the proposed Fairhaven Highlands, an 85-acre, 739 home development Fairhaven Highlands is marked by the shaded area along Chuckanut Drive. Chuckanut Ridge is an 85-acre property south of Fairhaven District, which could hold up to 739 housing units if it were to be fully developed. "We all agree Chuckanut Ridge should be in there," Knutson said. "The question is for how much. That's the bottom line." Council members Terry Bomemann, Ryan and Knutson voted against the levy on Monday.

The hall of fame is the Bellingham YWCAV project. Thirteen Bellingham women organize the project, said Jo JARED YOAKUM / THE WESTERN FRONT Western President Karen Morse will join two other Western women in the Northwest Women Hall of Fame March 19. Collmge, hall of fame committee member. "Western is vital to the community, so she is a community leader as well as the leader of the university," said Collinge, former assistant director of university communications. Before coming to Western, Morse worked at Utah State University as a chemistry professor, the head of the chemistry and biochemistry department and dean of the college of science. The university appointed her Utah's provost in 1989. "I've been very fortunate because whatever I've done I've enjoyed, whether it was being a faculty member or doing some administrative work, working with faculty and for faculty," Morse said. "I understand what (the faculty) are doing, and I know the challenges that they have. I'm trying to work for them in order to make their environment better and their professional experience better." Candidates must serve as a role model for women to qualify for a nomination for the hall of fame, Collinge said. "She is an example of how the role of women has changed in the second half of the 20th century," she said. "Especially for women in the roles that were once considered to be men's domains." Morse received her doctorate in chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1967, when universities gave 10 to 20 percent of their doctorates to women, Collinge said. Now almost half of students who receive doctorates throughout the country are women, she said. "Women weren't always deans and weren't always heads of departments," Collinge said. "For those of us who lived through that time, the difference between the second half of the 20th century and now is striking." Since fall 2005, Morse has focused on improving Western's international programs. "Certainly we have some wonderful things that are going on with international programs at the university, but there needs to be some leadership there, some cohesion, and we're starting to do that," she said. Morse is a strong and caring leader, said Paul Cocke, interim director for university communications. "It's no accident that (Morse's work at Western) has coincided with a pretty significant increase in the respect and reputation of Western," Cocke said. Morse's nomination for the hall of fame shows the university's attachment and dedication to the community and a commitment to higher education, Morse said. "It's a good thing for the university, just like any time a faculty member or a staffmember or a student is recognized," Morse said. "It reflects well on the university." This is the eighth annual induction. The hall of fame has inducted 25 women in the past seven years, Colligne said. Development: Sudden Valley petitioning county council to join urban growth area list CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 If the Sudden Valley community became a city, it would be difficult to restrict further development and keep the population and traffic around the lake. Lake Whatcom provides drinking water and recreation to more than 86,000 county residents, Caskey-Schreiber said. "We are working hard to decrease congestion around Lake Whatcom," Caskey- Schreiber said. "The only way a city can survive is with growth, and that could be detrimental to Lake Whatcom." Some of Sudden Valley's population is pushing for incorporation while others are not, Grieser said. He said the residents of Sudden Valley petitioning to become a city are interested in havmg their tax dollars directly affect their community. The Sudden Valley community does not have the economic support to become a city, Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson said. "Sudden Valley does not have the tax base to support municipal services," Asmundson said. "It would be a mistake to pursue incorporation." The residents opposed are adamant about remaining a recreation community, said Grieser, who is not a member of the residential group pursuing incorporation. "I work for the community association," he said. "This is a private group of citizens applying for incorporation. The community association is not instigating this." Grieser said the private group is collecting residents' signatures to petition adding Sudden Valley's proposition on the next ballot Nov. 7. "Private citizens are pursuing incorporation," Grieser said. "Ultimately, public citizens will have to vote on this issue." The council is concerned with protecting the area surrounding Lake Whatcom to preserve the environment Caskey-Schreiber said. jji some men just need a little push.

Churchill said some employees in the World Trade Center antagonized the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Estrada said. In an essay Churchill wrote, he said companies that benefited from U.S. policies that caused thousands of Iraqi children's deaths after the Gulf War brought the attacks on the United States, Estrada said. Estrada said he never condoned Churchill's opinion about Sept. 11. "The inference by Horowitz that I agree with his analogy is totally fallacious," Estrada said. "My comments to press, mostly in Colorado, have always been that I support his academic freedom and his right to speak out on the nature and causes for 9/11." Horowitz wrote a chapter in the book on each professor to discredit their efforts to introduce fresh viewpoints into the academic world, Estrada said. Horowitz wants to encourage an extreme far right ideology on American college campuses, Estrada said. "He wants auditing of every syllabus, every concept taught, and monitoring of university classrooms in terms of concepts and theories employed," Estrada said. "This is why he has attempted to introduce the Academic Bill of Rights in various states at the national level. This type of control runs counter to both liberal and conservative thinking and effectively changes the entire nature of the university." â€¢ ' Junior Josefina Magana, a sociology and Spanish major, said she went to Mexico with Estrada last summer for his six- week class, Contemporary Culture of Mexico. "He is very encouraging, especially for me being of Hispanic origin," she said. "I truly believe it's a mistake that he was named in this book. This guy doesn't know much about Larry. From my experience, he never wants to put political ideas upon students." In his book, Horowitz's claims Estrada is a radical separatist because ofhis work as an adviser for MEChA, or the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, Estrada said. Students from the University of California, Santa Barbara established MEChA in the late 1960s as a campus organization to help "They believe their is political bias on campus. And the way Horowitz is going about it is very reminiscent of the way Joseph McCarthy went about things.'. BILL LYNE Western English professor Latino students earn their degrees. It's a support system for students and maintains a connection between education and community development, said Western senior Sierra Schraff-Thomas, Estrada's teaching assistant and MEChA internal affairs officer ' at Western. Aztlan represents the struggle for respect and equality for Mexicanos and Chicanos, who have an indigenous presence in the southwest because it's the Aztec's ancestral home, Estrada said. "I've never advocated secession," he said. "Certain right-wing ideologues accuse people of that, because if you're a member of MEChA, then they distort the concept of Aztlan. MEChA doesn't advocate secession. It's disinformation to state that." Schraff-Thomas said Horowitz fabricated some of his facts. "To my knowledge, Larry has never advocated for succession of the American Southwest so that it may be returned to Mexico or the creation of an independent Hispanic state, nor does MEChA advocate these things," she said. "If this were the case, I don't believe that he would be so supportive of me, a white student." Western English professor Bill Lyne, faculty senate president, said he doesn't think the book will affect Estrada's good standing. "If anything, we're all kind of proud of him," he said. "That list is full of distinguished scholars from around the world. I think the book is dumb. It's full of lies and rumors." Lyne said Horowitz's book isn't what worries him, but that Horowitz and his well-funded colleagues are attempting to pass legislature across the country to monitor professors and their teaching. "They believe there is political bias on campus," Lyne said. "And the way Horowitz is going about it is very reminiscent of the way Joseph McCarthy went about things." Horowitz posted a poll for the most dangerous professor on his FrontPage Online Magazine, Estrada said. Estrada is No. 3 on the list. "I think I can be number one," Estrada said. "Everyone just needs to vote. I will owe it all to students, colleagues, and the general public for boosting me closer to the No. 1 spot" David Horowitz did not return an e-mail request for an interview.

Without them everywhere looks the same." David Kowalsky, Sustainable Bellingham volunteer coordinator Alumna's film promotes small-town businesses BY SHANNON DEVENY The Western Front Without using any interstate highways or supporting any corporately-owned stores, two former NBC journalists, one a Western graduate, drove across the country using only secondary highways and spending money in independently-owned businesses. Western alumna of 1993, Heather Hughes, 35, and her husband, Hanson Hosein, 36, filmed "Independent America: The Two Lane Search for Mom and Pop" in May 2005 and documented their journey along the two-laned roads of the United States. Sustainable Bellingham, an organization that supports local business Bellingham, and Fair Trade Crafts, a store that sells fair-trade products, will show the film at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Bellingham Public Market on Cornwall Avenue. Hughes and Hosein heard reports of small-town business owners and community members saying they did not want to see another Starbucks or Wal-Mart built in their town, Hughes said. The increase in the number of reports in 2003 surrounding this issue sparked the couple's interest and inspired them to make the film, she said. The film depicts independent-business owners' determination to re-assert themselves in the American economy that large corporations, such as Wal-Mart, dominate, said Allison Weeks-Ewoldt, Sustainable Bellingham co-founder. "We get a glimpse of the promising remnants of community commerce that are waiting to grow and thrive again as the multinational corporations that have transformed our nation into 'Anywhere, USA' crush under the weight of their own greed," Weeks-Ewoldt said. Hughes and Hosein visited businesses such as coffee houses, bookstores and hardware stores under financial pressure from corporate chains such as Wal-Mart, Borders and Starbucks, Hughes said. The film documents the experiences and opinions of local business owners who want to maintain and profit from their small businesses in towns throughout the United States, said Lynnette Allen, Sustainable Bellingham member. By showing film viewers business owners and the towns they live and work in, the film shows the importance buying local goods and services has on economies in cities such as Bellingham, by keeping money in circulation locally, Allen said. "It is important to have a financially prosperous local economy where we are not dependent on corporations that are based in other places because it helps us to be self-sufficient," said David Kowalsky, Sustainable Bellingham volunteer coordinator. Sustainable Bellingham wants the film PHOTO COURTESY OF HEATHER HUGHES Former NBC journalists Heather Hughes and Hanson Hosein stand in front of the original Wal-Mart in Rogers, Ark., after interviewing Wal-Mart executives in June 2005. to challenge viewers to look critically at how and where they spend their money, Kowalsky said. "Mom and Pop places are what give a town real diversity," Kowalsky said. "Without them, everywhere looks the same." Buying locally is important because money put into a local economy multiplies faster when it stays within community commerce, Hughes said. When someone buys books at Village Books, the owner of the store then uses the money to employ local advertising agencies and many others, which spreads the money around enriching a large portion of the community, she said. "If we don't support local businesses, they won't be there," Hughes said. â€¢ gt; UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS 4BEDR00M/2BATH DORM STYLE APARTMHTS OWHPSIVIinBB/SHUEUWmil RENT INCUDES: ' ALL UTILITIES /CABLE ^ HIGH SPEED INTERNET iHHOTiHiinKtpiiMfiiiiipirBiqiEiiiBnnnti .

Western senior co-captain Luke Bennett, who was on-par through nine holes but finished with a seven-over-par 79, said the weather was only part of the problem on the back nine. "I just couldn't find a groove," Bennett said, whose score of 79 dropped him from a tie for ninth into a tie for fifteenth individually. "The weather wasn't the best, but I never felt comfortable. I'd miss a putt here, hit.a bad shot there. I wasn't putting myself in a spot to score." Senior co-captain Tim Feenstra shot a three-over par-75 during his final round and finished tied for fourth individually. Feenstra said he was pleased with his golf swing, but could not finish bis putts. "I nit the ball really well, and I didn't make one birdie out there," he said. "I just didn't make a putt. I didn't make one putt over four feetâ€”it's hard to score when you do that." Sophomore Sean Packer rounded out the Vikings top finishers, placing seventh after a final round 75.

The tournament marked the second event for the Vikings since the spring portion of their season began. The Vikings finished third at the Cal State Bakersfield Invitational Feb. 28. Before the spring portion of the season began, Western head coach Steve Card said while he has three of the top - Division II golfers in Feenstra, Bennett and Packer, he was still looking for consistent play from the No. 4 and No. 5 spots on the team. After two events, Card said junior Sam Pauley, who shot a Vikings best 74 during the final round Tuesday, secured the No. 4 position, but No. 5 is still undecided. "Sam has really stepped up and established himself as the No. 4 player on the team," Card said. "I think the top-three guys show a lot of confidence in him." The Vikings next tournament will be the California State University Monterey Bay Invitational, played March 20 and 21. Women compete in regionals BY DERRICK PACHECO The Western Front Home is where the court is for the top-seeded Western women's basketball team as the Vikings host the regional championship starting today. The team has won 20 games in a row this season, including 13 straight wins at home, on its way to a 26-1 record. The Vikings earned a No. 4 national ranking for Division II women's basketball, and the No. 1 seed for this weekend's West Regional Tournament held in Carver Gym today, Saturday and Monday. The Western women are making their eighth consecutive appearance in the regional tournament, but this is the first year the Vikings earned the opportunity to host the event. "I have had at least 1,000 people asking me about the men's and women's regional tournament this week," Western director of athletics Lynda Goodrich said. The quarterfinals start at 12:30 p.m. today, the semifinals start at 5 p.m. on Saturday and the championship game is on Monday at 7 p.m. "This is just great to play at home," women's head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "We have had an unbelievable year and hope to reach the (national) Elite Eight." Both the women's and men's basketball teams qualified for the Regional Tournaments. The men earned the No. 2 seed with a 21-6 record, and will play at Seattle Pacific University this weekend. "You can't get much better than this," Goodrich said. "When people think about D-II basketball in the Northwest, they'll think of Western." Women's West Regional Tournament Today Game 1: Cal State Bakersfield (3) vs. Cal State Los Angeles (6), 12:30 p.m. Game 2: Chico State (2) vs. Humboldt State (7), 2:30 p.m- Game 3: UC San Diego (4) vs. Seattle Pacific (5), 5:30 p.m. Game 4: Western Washington (1) vs. Northwest Nazarene (8), 7:30 p.m. Saturday Game 5: Winner of game 1 vs. winner of game 2, 5 p.m. Game 6: Winner of game 3 vs. winner of game 4, 7 p.m. Monday Championship game: Winner of game 5 vs. winner of game 6, 7 p.m. All games will take place in Carver Gym.

Besides displaying terrible programming, this specific brand of sports reality television misses the point entirely. The point is, I want to see sports stars brought down, not watch their exaggerated egos. "Pros vs. Joes" starts with a promising premise. Three average people dubbed 'Joes,' contestants on the show, challenge a handful of retired athletes in athletic contests. Monday's episode included wide receiver Jerry Rice, professional wrestler Bill Goldberg, basketball player Dennis Rodman, former Chicago Bears quarterback Mike MeMahon and baseball slugger Matt Williams. The show grants the Joes an opportunity to fulfill lifelong fantasies, such as going one-on-one with a professional athlete and winning $20,000. Or, as Rodman likes to call his annual salary for playing in the ABA in addition to what he gets every time "Double Team" airs on HBO. During the show, the Joes competed in impossible tasks such as covering Rice while he caught passes from MeMahon. One Joe did succeed once in knocking a pass away only because of a miserable throw by MeMahon. Another challenge pitted a Joe in a wrestling match versus Goldberg. Nobody succeedes against Goldberg. In a bizarre shooting contest against rebounding extraordinaire Dennis Rodman, the Joes stood on a conveyor belt moving away from the hoop and had to run while shooting baskets. Each Joe took their turn to beat Rodman's score for the most baskets made in two minutes. Despite this obvious move to make Rodman look better in a shooting contest, one excited Joe still outscored Rodman. That was the best moment of the show. I don't watch bad reality shows to see average people humiliated. I want to see bloated, average fans disgrace overpaid former athletes. It doesn't happen when a 165-pound guy wrestles Goldberg's weight. To the show's credit, it included a golfing competition as a neutral battleground. As I was watching I thought to myself, "Finally, I get to see these pros fail." But then it occurred to me, nobody plays golf more than retired athletes. With all the charity benefits, disposable income and tremendous free time, playing golf is the destiny of retired athletes. This doesn't say much for golf, and it explains the Senior Tour. Players on the PGA Tour don't get as many holes in as Matt Williams does. The pros destroyed the Joes in golfing worse than in any other event, and Spike TV expects us to find this amusing. I admit, I found myself mildly entertained by Rodman outrebounding players 12 inches shorter than him and Matt Williams lining shots at these poor guys while they tried to play third base, but it grew obnoxious. The pros running their mouths the whole time was even more annoying. Rice used an expletive in reference toward the Joes. How do you get pumped up to prevent someone who is poorer, uglier and not as talented from winning some money? At the end of the day, the pros are still rich, enjoy an inflated status in society and fans adore them. The trash talking is unsolicited. The athletes on the show act as if fans don't understand how talented they are. As fans we know we're not better receivers than Rice, but some out there think they can catch better than former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Koren Robinson. Nobody says to themselves, "I could have grabbed that rebound," when watching Rodman miss a board. We say that when we're watching Seattle Sonic's center Robert Swift. We do say when watching Rodman, "I bet I wouldn't have kicked that cameraman in the nuts," but that's a different issue. These are the events I want to see. I want to see Joes versus Swift in the bench press. I want to see Shaquille O'Neal struggling in a free throw shooting contest, Pete Rose versus the roulette wheel and maybe some sort of Joe versus Ron Artest freestyle rap battle. Let's see John Daly huffing it in a 40-yard dash. Fans possess the reasonable expectation that professional athletes are superior in every facet of athleticism than an average fan. And if we suspect that this isn't the case, "Pros vs. Joes" should answer the question. Is Edgar Martinez slower than your grandmother? We could ultimately find out. Of course the athletes destroy the Joes when they're a legend of the sport or an event they specialize in. And that's funny, but it gets old. If we learned anything from "Celebrity Boxing," it's that Tonya Harding is mean. But we also learned that if they're going to sell out, they should look stupid. Now some may say Rice paid his dues with "Dancing With the Stars," but nevertheless, these athletes clearly sold out. Please, if nothing else, make them look stupid.

Every year, a stretch of spring sunshine beats back the Washington rain, and the women of Western come out from under their rocks to put on a show. Some master coordinator flips a switch broadcasting the disrobe beacon, sending all the girls running to their closets to rescue moth-balled halters, short skirts and spaghetti straps. Instantly gone are the winter hoodies we gents are accustomed to and the puffy jackets that are probably still appropriate for the mid- 50s temperature. Ladies, your tactics are underhanded and jarring. I understand your intent is to consume the Western guys in a tsunami of 7 understand your intent is to consume the Western guys in a tsunami of skin and confusion. You succeed wildly.' enjoy seeing us reduced to blind children bumbling mechanically and slack-jawed across campus like subjects in a government LSD experiment. You need to tone it down. Seriously. After three springs at Western, I've developed the ability to sense when springtime skin is drawing nigh. I'll walk out of class and slowly meander across campus. Something won't seem right, and I'll wonder if I'm forgetting an assignment or a family member's birthday. I'll walk, numb to the world and looking down when I notice the passing ankles. Then legs. I'll look up. Shoulders. Backs. Midriffs. â€”' Shell shock. I'll bump into a dumbfounded fellow with panicked and unfocusing eyes. I'll apologize with some unintelligible sound and careen into the 10- til-the-hour crowd like a weightless body floating into an asteroid field. I hope women understand how rough springtime skin is on us fellas. The first day hits so suddenly that we react with bewilderment rather than sexual attraction. I know you've been working out skin and confusion. You succeed wildly. You all winter to prepare for this day, but we can't look at you, at least not right away. We walk like mummies with tunnel vision just trying to get to point B, the skin cumulating in our peripheral vision. Our brains can't compute why the opposite sex would wear only half the clothing they donned a mere 24 hours ago. It doesn't make sense. Our reality crumbles. As detrimental as spring skin is to my mental stability, I must laud Western's women. Despite intense planning and anticipation of the event girls are remarkably close mouthed. Mum is the word, which is a miracle for that particular species. All week, I've asked women, "Is this me week? Has the time ] come?" and all responded with a completely believable look of disturbed confusion. One of; these years a man will find the. hidden entrance and expose your scheme. He will descend the stairs in the catacombs under Old Main and discover the Hall of Western Sisterhood. It must take a huge room to fit all 7,000 of you. He'll find the Masons-esque robes, and the calendars marking the day the first assault will take place. You will be exposed. I know the day is coming. My eyes and ears at Whatcom Community College report that spring skin is already kicking in. The women at Whatcom are less patient than those at Western, not to mention less tasteful. Historically, we can look at .Whatcom as a two-week warning for spring skin hitting Western's campus. I strongly encourage the Western Sisterhood leadership implement a staggered schedule for spring skin. This way, girls will take graduated steps toward summertime clothes, rather than the coat-to- tube top leapfrog that sends men reeling. I understand the pleasure you must derive from messing with us, but don't be cruel. We have classes to take care of. We have jobs. We have meals to remember to eat. Staggering spring skin is the humane thing to do. And besides, it's still fucking cold. E-mail Zach Kyle at tme_enoughcolumn@yahoo. com GOOD.

The Whatcom County Council removed Sudden Valley from the county's urban growth area list on Feb. 28 to prevent it from pursuing city status. The prevention of Sudden Valley's application for city status was a smart move by the council. Sudden Valley, which is located on the west bank of Lake Whatcom, is listed as a Whatcom County recreation area and should remain that way. Sudden Valley becoming a city would raise the number of tourists and residents visiting and living in the area. More people moving in means an increase in the pollution of Lake Whatcom, which serves as a water source and recreation area to more than 86,000 county residents. Our county is polluted enough as it is. City status for Sudden Valley would increase the commercial and residential development around Lake Whatcom exponentially. The fact that they are not cities hasn't restricted the growth of the Sehdme and Fairhaven communities inside of Bellingham. In fact, these two communities within Bellingham have flourished for years. Why should we set apart Sudden Valley as its own city? We shouldn't. Sudden Valley is developed to the pomt of being a city. Destabilizing the Lake Whatcom watershed with further development will unnecessarily damagethe environment. Sudden Valley residents who want to see their tax dollars at work in their own neighborhoods rather than in the county, started the application for city status. If 75 percent of Sudden Valley citizens voted in favor of such a separation, then Sudden Valley has a right to pursue city status. However, Whatcom County shouldn't increase urban sprawl just because certain citizens want to distinguish themselves financially from the rest of the county. Whatcom County will always have certain neighborhoods that are more prosperous than others, but that's no reason to separate those areas into cities apart from the rest of the county.

Bush, president Spring quarter columnist preview Being single is great liquor pros outweigh relationship cons BY LAUREN ALLAIN Forbidden Firuit Relationships are like tequila. At first glance, indulging seems like the best idea ever. As the shots progress they get sweeter and sweeter with the residuals of pure bliss. Until you have overindulged. In that situation you never want to touch, taste or see tequila ever again. Instead of tequila, I think of every shot as a minute-long dose of that significant other. That's my evolving definition of a relationship. My parents met in college so I've grown up assuming I would meet my match here, too. With only four quarters left until I graduate, I'm beginning to think my assumption was wrong. I've met some amazing men thus far, but it's been punctuated by meeting complete douches. The two seem to counteract one another. So here I amâ€”a single girl with high expectations and no date. Most girls would be upset about this but I love it. Therefore, I've come up with a list of the top five reasons why I love being single. Number one: I don't have to shave. Men complain about shaving constantly, but the surface area they have to shave doesn't even equate to one calf for a woman. Shaving both legs takes approximately seven minutes, and when I'm in the shower every morning before class at 9 a.m., losing those seven minutes isn't worth it. That time is dedicated to cereal. When I think about it, no one is going to see my legs anyway, except for that creepy old guy who stops to give me a thumbs-up while I'm running past him. In that instance I'm glad my legs look repulsive. Number two: I have the pleasure of sprawling out on my bed. Ever since I was young, I've been a picky sleeper. I used to make my parents come pick me up and take me home from sleepovers when everyone went to bed because I wanted to sleep in my own bed. My bed is mine. I picked the mattress, the sheets and the number of pillows, and I alone will enjoy it. Nothing compares to the frustration that ensues when I wake up to realize my partner is in a spread- eagle pose in the middle of the bed leaving me with a sliver, which is just enough room to keep one leg and half an arm on the â€”â€”=â€”â€”= bed. Perfect. Number three: No one is there to control single means that I never have to awkwardly tell my friend/family/ prospective boyfriends that I'm available again. Informing others of a breakup has always baffled me. Am I supposed to send out a mass e-mail titled, "Oops. That didn't work out as planned"? _ Changing the relationship status on Myspace and Facebook is equally awkward. How soon is too soon to change it? Is it too hasty to do it within hours of the breakup? I don't want the ex to think I'm wishing I was still in the relationship, but I don't want him to think I'm stoked to be â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”-â€”=â€”â€”â€” out of it. Either way, 7 will never under- once I change it, my me. stand the way a male Pr o f i l e fows U P ^ v . - . i recently updated. brain junctions when I've never dated dealing with women, anyone who attempted and trying to figure it out is like trying to figure out why men have nipples.' to control me, but I have experience with the ones who constantly like to give suggestions about â€” everything. From what chips to buy at the store to what classes I should take, he had a suggestion for everything. At least he wasn't indecisive, but I'm capable of picking my own chips, thanks. I can also decide when I'm going to eat those chips, when I'm going to do my homework and when I'm going to sleep. Some nights I call it quits at 10 p.m. while other days I stay up until 4 a.m. Having to incorporate someone else's schedule into my lack of a daily schedule is typically not worth it. I start to feel claustrophobic if someone else crushes me, specifically by having to follow his schedule. I have several friends who work at UPS beginning at 3 a.m., and I'm convinced I should date one of them because once they leave for work I can go to bedâ€”alone. Number four: Constantly being So friend's read it and think, "Wow. She's single again. I wonder which one of them fucked it up." And men the questions begin, which is why I think the mass e-mail is the best option. Number five: Relationships are generally not worth the hassle. So far I haven't had one that was worth the time, money and eventual tears. I will never understand the way a male brain functions when dealing with women, and trying to figure it out is like trying to figure out why men have nipples; It's just not worth the effort, and the end result typically means nothing. Having said all this I'll add that all five rules become void when I find the right guy. For now I'm staying attached â€” to tequila â€” because it never complains when I fail to call, it doesn't care if I chose to spend the night with its friend rum and most importantly it never sleeps in the middle of the bed. Gosh, I hope my parents don?t read this.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24.

Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night.

D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well • as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges; California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,'' said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash.

The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N. hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys. Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars.

Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

O. Holland gave an address on "'How to Do Well in Your College Studies" as an aid for the students of the State College of Washington in their subjects. Because of its commendable qualities it has been printed in "School Life," and "The Cougar," and it is now passed on to normal students who may find some worthy advise. "If you want to do' well in your college studies, you must begin well, you must be sure to master thoroughly the daily tasks assigned to you during the first four weeks of the freshman year. If you can get the first month's assignments in all your studies so tint t'ir-y are a real part of your knowledge t'nil thinking, you wave taken the first great step toward success and happiness in your college career. "The first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can. It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work. Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions, dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I "At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-' mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually, could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor: or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail. An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when | you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one difficult or attractive subject and neglect others. Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later. Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it disturbs others) with moving lips.

"Forget that you are working for your instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently, see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a. sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater.

ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation; and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession, however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him. "Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT. S. GIVE 'EM A CHEER! Give 'em a cheer! Who?

The reports indicate that the Hyaks outfought and outplayed Bellingham but their shooting eyes were not functioning at their best. The score of the first game was 25 to 16, and of the second game 32 to 18. Full details were not given in the wire, but we know the boys played up to their limit. Our hope now rests in revenge and all efforts must be turned to treating Bellingham in a similar manner when they come down here.—Ellensburg Student Opinion. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23, 1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts. "Hoping that 1!)23 may be the best year the Bellingham Normal has ever had, I am Sincerely, ALBERT W. C HERRE, Chief, Division of Fisheries, Bureau of Science. B. S. N. S. Freshman Play.

Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say! There's a lot of cheer in it.

Foley. "Hello!" Doesn't take but a minute A quick little friendly word. By some seems to have never been heard. Some folks, when they meet on the campus Pass by; without nod or a smile. I think to boost our school spirit They should practice "hello" for awhile. It's full of good cheer when we say it, It shows that we're friends on the hill, We all shouldn't act like we fear it, It scatters bad felings and ill.

Julia E. Whitmore. B. S. N. S. - Dr. Miller Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr. Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country. Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance, originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as "slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900 than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind, but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South. They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers' college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr. Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect. But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules. Realizing that there is only one way to get into the pink of condition for basketball, and that is by adopting strict training rules and observing them, the men turning out adopted practically the same rules that they observed last year. It is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange. Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday.

The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country.

NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals. Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and present Normal students.

B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game. From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy, wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward. But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers, the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A. members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S. Heard in Typewriting Class.

CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila).

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there.

The Western Front June 1,1990 /Volume 82, Number ^ ^Former custodian wins sexual harassment suit By Derek Dujardin staff reporter A jury awarded $75,000Friday to former Western custodian Kim-berly Abbott for a sexual-harassment suit against the university. While employed by Western from 1986-88, Abbott claimed to have suffered sexual harassment from her supervisor, Gary E. Smith, who allegedly touched her repeatedly in unwelcomed ways. Abbott latercomplained to Smith's supervisors who allegedly did little to curtail the harassment. During the trial,Abbott's attorney David Summers proved harassment took place, but was unable to prove Smithguilty of harassment. Summers also could not prove any other supervisor used demeaning jobevaluations in retaliation against Abbott for complaining, the jury found. Assistant Attorney General JonFerguson said he wasnt sure if the university would appeal. "There are a lot of things to look at andconsider," he said. Smith, 49, said he feels great now the trial is over. "I think the law is a good law, but it can be used as a political weapon against somebody," he said. In retrospect, Smith said he wouldhave requested an internal investigation as soon as the allegations were made against him. Kay Rich,director of university residences, said most of the accusations were made when the guidelinesconcerning sexual harassment of employees were in their infancy. Yet, the jury judged the evidenceusing contemporary sexual harassment standards that didn't exist in 1986. The $75,000 is only half ofthe $ 150,000 Summers requested, but he said he was happy with the verdict and the thoughtfulness the jury used in deciding. The final bill to Western may be much higher than the $75,000 award. The lawconcerning sexual harassment of a Washington state employee, entitles the employee to have alllawyer's fees and court costs paid for by die defendant. The combined fees of the Attorney General,Summers, court costs and expenses could total $110,000 to $115,000. SA committee decides budget By Bruce Halabisky staff reporter After nine months of debate, the Services and Activities committeedecided last Friday to carry over the same budget percentage split between the Associated Students, theDepartmentally Related Activities Council and Housing and Dining as last year. Two alternative proposals â€” one calling for a reduction in Housing and Dining's percentage and the other proposing thepercentages stay the same, but $10,000 be set aside for the Ethnic Student Centerâ€” were voted downby the committee. AS President Kent Thoelke's idea of reducing Housing and Dining's percentage toobtain the necessary AS funds for the proposed Ethnic Students Center next year was criticized by Roger Oettli, business manager for university residences. "We have two major revenue streams, one is student rent and one is SA fees," Oettli said. "If one revenue stream is affected then we have to make up for itin the other. We may have to look at catting some of the equipment at KUGS, we may have to look atcutting some of the equipment at Lakewood or we may have to raise student rent." See Budget on page2 Western student dies in accident By Bretha Urness-Straight staff reporter Western student, James"Jamie" J. Stanton Jr., 21, died from head injuries in a motorcycle accident Friday, May 25. Stanton,the son of James Stanton of Kirkland and Barbara Stanton of Mount Vernon, was a junior majoringin environmental economics. Stanton was heading southbound on Chuckanut Drive when he entered thenorthbound lane while taking a corner. Witnesses said Stanton was forced to swerve when heencountered a northbound car driven by a Western student on a geology field trip. Stanton lost control, hit a natural rock ledge and died immediately from head injuries, police reports said.

Greg Anderton, AS vice-president forExternal Affairs, initiated the idea of removing the magazines, after expressing concern about thebookstore selling what he considers pornographic material and the affect it has on readers. "I don't feelcomfortable removing them without more student input," Anderton said. "But people need more education about the affects pornography have." Other possibilities considered were a ban on the magazines orusing money from sales of them to educate students about pornography. The'board agreed a student vote was the best alternative, but suggestions to put it on the ballot with yesterday's scheduledpresidential run off concerned board members and students, who said they wouldn't be able to inform thestudents about the issue soon enough. The run off election was cancelled after candidate Joe Patrick was disqualified for illegal campaigning on his KUGS radio show. "I think that if we 're going to pass it on tothe students (and let them make the decision), we might as well be responsible about it," said ChristineHart, AS vice-president for Internal Affairs. Jack Smith, adviser to the board, said the AS could removethe magazines now and ask students in a referendum if they should be put back. "I feel comfortableremoving this material," Hart said, "because we try to make our campus as safe as possible and then we have this material in our bookstore that promotes rape and other violence against women." The onlyvoiced opposition came from AdamFranks, next year's AS vice-president for Internal Affairs, who said hedidn't approve of the magazines, but believed individual freedom of choice should be preserved. "It's not ademand for the product, but the principles of freedom of choice," Franks said. "I think people should havethe right to decide for themselves what they want to read and what they don't want to read." Members ofWestern's Women's Center attending the meeting said keeping the magazines violated otherConstitutional freedoms. "If pornography is allowed because of the First Amendment," said one member,"then that's violating the women's rights for equal safety under the law which is in the FourteenthAmendment." Removing the magazines is not a ban, Hart said, since students can still buy them off-campus. Board members voting to remove the magazines until a referendum can be set were Hart,Anderton, AS vice-president for Academic Affairs Ericka Jackson and AS vice-president for ResidenceLife Leslie Jensen. Members voting against the measure were AS president Kent Thoelke,Secretary/Treasurer Bob Visse and Vice- President for Activities Theresa Bertrand. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 By Mark Sabbatinl ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ filed the complaint, after listening to and taping part of a May 27 showhosted by Patrick where Chairperson Dave Mason said Patrick would be disqualified and his opponentMark Aaserud property use, the preamble of the Code promising a fair and impartial election and theKUGS lelatedto the campaign, including his reasons for voting to reduce funding for Departmentallyresult.

"I think Joe has to be heldaccountable. This was a situation Women need voice By Julie Davisson staff reporter The Commissionfor Women is looking for four new members for the 1990-91 academic year. Chairperson ConstanceFaulkner of Fairhaven College is accepting applications for two faculty, one student and one classifiedstaff member to fill the voluntary positions open on the commission. The applications must include ashort written statement of "her particular interests regarding the status of women on campus," asstated in the May 17 issue of Fast, Western's faculty/staff publication. Faulkner will choose twoapplicants for each of the positions and submit those choices to President Mortimer for a finaldecision. As of May 23, no students have applied. Faulkner said she realizes being on a committeetakes a lot of time, but student input is essential. "It's so hard to get student voices on committeesbecause they're transient and much busier in some ways, but we need it. After all, that's what we'rehere for," she said. The commission was established in December 1988 by President Mortimer on arecommendation by the Women's Resources Council and the Women's Network. The Summary ofCommission for Women's Activities (April 1990) states the group's purpose as follows: to "(1) serve as a liaison to I collect and disseminate information on issues of concern to all women on campus; (2) help improve coordination of efforts to accomplish shared goals and (3) advise the president on gender-related issues." The commission meets once every two weeks to discuss such issues as day careprograms, sexual harassment, personal safety, advisement for older returning students and manyother issues relating to women' and the improvement of campus. Faulkner said some of the importantthings the commission accomplished this year were the creation of a Sexual Harassment Task Force,an Ombudsperson and a sexual harassment education program for faculty and staff across campus."We've had a lot of successes this year and we haven't publicized ourselves at all," Faulkner said.Faulkner is leaving the commission next year. "It's a wonderful group to work with," she said. "I'll besad to leave." rÂ»LD Town CAFE Look at the Advantages! 10d cup coffee with meal before 8 am Mon-Fri play the piano for a free drink win the history contest for various amounts of free food fresh bakedgoods delicious daily special (soups, sandwiches and salads) â€¢ smoke free environment gt;occasional live music â€¢ intelligent staff with a sense of humor Mon-Sat 7 am-3 pm, Sun 8 am-2 pm;316 W.

Smith pointed out Housing and Dining originally received a straight fee of $25from every student and not a percentage cut of the SA funds. Despite Smith's arguments, Thoelke'sproposal was voted down. This rejection follows the rejection made May 22 of a previous proposal calling for a reduction in DRAC's budget. Immediately after the failure, Tina Brinson, a representative of DRAC, put another proposal on the table which would set aside $10,000 for next year's Ethnic Student Center,but would carry forward last year's percentage splits. Thoelke attacked the proposal saying the $10,000would only be a one time solution and the problem of funding the Ethnic Student Center would surfaceagain next year. "I would hate to see one quarter million go toward (building) the Center and then have$10,000~ to run it," Thoelke said. Brinson's proposal subsequently failed. As the meeting dragged onwithout the SA committee reaching a decision, all parties involved appeared unwilling tocompromise. In a state of frustration, Joe Patrick, SA committee member said "I say let's just go fora one-third split and tell everyone else to kiss off!" After all the discussion, a third proposal was finallypresented calling for the exact same percentage ;arry-over as last year. This proposal jassed leavingDRAC, AS and Hous-ng and Dining, after nine months of liscussion, with the same budget percentagesas last year. The SA committee's budget will now go to the board of trustees for final approval. In other actions the board: *placed a two-year written reprimand citing "human error" in Social IssuesCoordinator Chad Goller's personnel file after he used a state computer for campaign purposes in the AS election. *held over a request from Election Chairman Dave Mason for $586 to fund yesterday'scanceled presidential run-off election between Joe Patrick and Mark Aaserud. They also denied hisrequest for reimbursement of 144 hours of claimed overtime work, saying it would set a dangerousprecedent for other AS members working extra hours without compensation. ^discussed thepossibility of using $ 100,000 from the bookstore reserve for a Minority Retention Scholarship. Thescholarship would be awarded to currently enrolled minority students with a 3.2 or greater GPA. Thescholarship would consist of interest from initial money deposited. *Former legislative liaison ScottOlsen made an employment termination appeal. Olsen said the board gave him the alternative ofresigning or being fired, but gave him little grounds for the request. "The way he related to people downin Olympia was not working out," Bertrand said. After dismissing the appeal, Thoelke said Olsen shouldtake legal action if he wanted to pursue his complaint further. "That is my intention," Olsen said. "I willbe filing lawsuits against each and every one of you." . 1990/91 STUDENT PARKING PERMITS: Studentparking applications for the 1990-91 school year are now available at the Parking Services office.

( ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 3 Protesters raise awareness about jail conditions By EstherEwell staff reporter Four Western women were among the six who demonstrated in front of theWhatcom County Courthouse at noon Thursday to raise awareness of jail conditions and inequalities that exist for the poor. Sharon O'Connell, Collette Holten, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Swaneagle and Adrienne Papermas-ter walked down to the corner of Grand Avenue and Lottie Street carrying signs protestingconditions they say exist, such as bad treatment of the poor inmate population, lack of ventilation andovercrowded jail cells. The protest resulted from information relayed by Nikki Craft, the women's rightsactivist arrested May 23 for malicious mischief. Craft was arrested after tearing up four issues of theJune Esquire magazine in Village Books. Swaneagle of Lummi Island said, "What's wrong with thesystem is this: There are two classes of people. One who can post bail and those who can't. And thosewho can't are subjected to harsh conditions that are unjust and unfair." Collette Holten feels thecurrent judicial system finds people guilty before being proven innocent. People who are unable to postbail must wait in the jail until their trial, which can take months. Holten said, "What about the time spent in jail if found innocent? Do you get compensated for the time you spent in jail? For the misery of it, thelack of exercise, lack of privacy, overcrowding and lack of freedom. Just because you couldn't post bail." One protester, Kate Blake, said the overcrowding of the jail could be greatly reduced if people awaitingtrials for non-violent crimes be released from the jail. Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount said thecourt tends to be lenient and release people on their personal recognizance if they can show any ties inthe local community. "Like with Nikki Craft Her friends have volunteered to bail her out. She TylerAnderson/The Western Front Protesters rallied in front of the courthouse Thursday to make people awareof jail conditions and inequalities against the poor. didn't take it," Mount said. "If she's so concernedabout her fellow inmates, she could accept her friends hospitality and we would have one less bodyinside." Protester Sharon O'Connell said Craft doesn't believe in posting bail. "She's in solidarity with thepoor women in the jail," O'Connell said. One result of jail overcrowding is that 14 women are sharing aneight-bed cell, Holten said. Mount agrees with the protesters on their concern of the overcrowded jails."We are definitely overcrowded. We're the 14th most crowded jail in the state according to statisticsgiven to us by the Washington Association of Sheriff and Police Chiefs," he said. Mount said over theMemorial Day holiday weekend, the jail had 173 people in the 148-bed facility. "It's not just the women'scell; the whole system is overcrowded," Mount said. Because of overcrowding, the ventilation system inthe jail is taxed to its maximum capacity. The inmate Tired of Studying? Need a Break? RENT AMOVIE!

Protesters claim themeals fed to the inmates arc unbalanced and designed to mentally slow down the prison population.Mount responded by saying, "Ask school kids or military members. Anything that is cooked in a massway does not appeal to everybody, but they are nutritionally sound." The jail menus are periodicallyreviewed by nutritionists to assure the nutritional standards. "If we get a complaint, we ask them (thenutritionists) to come over and see what they have to say about it," Mount said. Inmates are given anhour a week for exercise. Protesters said this isn' t enough time to maintain good health. Mount saidthis situation is because of the workload in the prison and the limited number of personnel. "It's beenthat way for four years. It won't change in the near future until we can increase our staffing so we canmove people back and forth easier," Mount said.

John Paul Jones De Joria is owner of Paul Mitchell Inc., a hairproducts company, which has donated more than $20,000 to the project, along with a guaranteed entryinto the World Solar Challenge in Australia in November. The Challenge race only allows 30 entries.Three of these positions will be taken by the top solar cars at this summer's General Motors Sun-rayce.The three winners of the Sun-rayce will have all expenses paid by GM to the race in Australia. "I know of no other schools that have entered the Australian race," said Bill Lingenfelter, solar car team captain.De Joria entered his first car, the Mana La, in the 1987 Sunrayce, but because of rule changes, hecouldn't race the same car in this summer's race. He was in the process of building his own entry forthis summer's race when he found out about Western's solar car through a friend at Boeing, Bill Yerkes,Lingenfelter said. De Joria asked Yerkes about which school would win the GM Sunrayce and herecommended Western's car, Lingenfelter said. "He really thinks we will do well," Lingenfelter said. "GMhas also put us at the top of their list to win." "It's not so much the entry, but the use of his grandfatherclause into the race," said Michael Seal, Director of the Vehicle Research Institute. "He thinks wehave a better chance of winning and he's indicated that there could be more (monetary donations)." Allother colleges are relying on winning the Sunrayce in order to go on to the challenge race in Australia,but we aren't, Lingenfelter said. De Joria has been described by the media as a aging hippie who isinterested in solar cars and energy conservation, Seal said. "I think he is really aware of the problems ofthe earth," Seal said. Western's solar car is an unusual design in comparison with its competitors. Itwill be a two passenger car that will be driven facing the east in the morning and turned around to facethe west in the afternoon. Viking XX will have a competitive edge because of the two passenger rule,which allows more solar cells on the car's body. It will be the only car of its type in the GM Sunrayce.The Viking XX is expected to break world records for solar-powered cars by averaging 50 mph on levelroads. Gerald J. Reilly/The Western Front Western's Viking XX has received donations from varioussources to help fund the trip to Australia. It will be featured in the June issue of Popular Science and willbe on the front cover of the August More recently, the Viking XX project received a $5,000 donation fromBellingham Cold Storage. The team is still working toward Students protest elimination of ethnic centerBy Mark Sabbatini staff reporter Associated Student Board budget healings on May 30 were dominatedby students protesting the elimination of the new Ethnic Student Center's administrative budget,which would prevent it s planned opening in November. Because the center's $42,000 request is a newbudget item, it was last on the budget list, said AS president Kent Thoelke. The proposed budgetalready contains a $10,000 deficit, after $120,000 in cuts were made to the $1.1 million budget. "It couldhave been any new program," Thoelke said. "When you have a budget with new programs and themoney doesn't come in, you cut the new programs." However, students attending the meeting claimedthey weren't just "any new program." "I'm very offended as a minority student on this campus that thiscenter is not going to happen," said one student. "This issue has been talked about as long as 20years ago and other campuses are further ahead then we are. I'm wondering what kind of message thiswill give to minority students we're trying to recruit." However, AS board members said money will befound to fund the Center's operations, since approximately $250,000 has been spent to build it. Funds aren't available because of an $80,000 shortfall in the AS budget, which resulted from estimated lower expected enrollment figures. If additional revenues are raised, through higher prices or lower discountrates at the bookstore, some of the money could be used for the center. Thoelke also urged students to talk with Service and Activities Fee Split Committee members, who voted 5-4 not to give a percentage ofmoney from Housing and Dining to the AS to resolve its budget problems. If a member who voted against the proposal calls for a new vote, the issue could be reopened, he said. "What I was hearing in thecommittee meeting was that everyone supported diversity as long as it was done in a status quosetting," said Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board of Directors. "That's almost impossible to work out, which I guess gets to the root of support for diversification at Western." Social Issues CoordinatorChad Goller said he intends to attend the SA committee meeting because "I think it's important thatwe tell these people we're tired of the lip service that this university's given." finishing the solar car alongwith trying to find the funds for travel and lodging expenses for the team members.

"Some Things We've Done," is the title of an exhibit featuring the works of Western studentsGarth Mix and Kwok Wong. The exhibit has certain undertones but for the most part, the title of theshow does a good job in summing up the work featured. Wong seems to enjoy delving into the realm ofthe human mind. His Picasso-ish style can be appreciated by all who attend. He dabbles in theabstractâ€”the inner self. The end result stirs a variety of emotions. To the common observer, pain andfear are the dominant elements in his work. Wong's work "A Poet," demonstrates his dealings in theabstract. This drawing shows an apparently frightened woman staring down at a pool of water. Herreflection, however, is not her own. The reflection she sees is that of a man, who seems equallyfrightened. Another one of Wong's works titled "The Great Depression" features wretched, mangledhands reaching up into darkness. The feeling one gets from looking at this work is one of injustice.Wong's drawing of Lucille Ball deviates from his other works featured. It is a portrait done withexquisite detail. It is of photographic quality. Mix combines a variety of feeling in his work. Someof his more impressionable works include "Contribution Exxon" and "Stacks." Both works deal withman's negative effect on the environment. "Contribution Exxon" is a graphite drawing of a bird coveredin oil. The bird is obviously dead or dying. The detail in the drawing is of phenomenal quality andshould be seen by all who appreciate fine art. "Stacks" is another graphite drawing. The work shows a woman sitting by a cliff overlooking a valley. She is staring somberly at huge smoke stacks in thedistance. It is another great piece of artwork. "I come from Kodiak, Alaska," Mix said. "I have workedextensively in the wilderness and have seen the impact we have on the environment" It is quite obviousMix doesn't like what he sees. This is clearly defined in his artwork. Mix uses what appears to be thesame girl in many of his works. She is placed in a variety of environments and situations. She addsgreatly to the mood of the pieces in which she is featured. "It isn't any one girl," Mix said. "However, agirl I met when I was a freshman was used as a model for some of the works." Mix is a Graphic DesignIllustrating major. He is currently in his junior year. Both artists show a wide variety of styles in theirdisplays. "Basically, I've just been experimenting with the different styles to figure out exactly what itis I want to do," Mix said. "I'll probably go the commercial route," Mix said. Whatever the case, bothartists are extremely talented. Their displays in the Viking Union Gallery run through June 1. If youhaven't seen the exhibit yet, definitely make the effort to see their works. You are bound to be pleasantly surprised. If for some reason you miss the show, just take a look at some of the illustrations in thispaper. Chances are, they were done by Garth Mix. â‚¬gt;Â©â‚¬)Â©â‚¬)â‚¬gt;â‚¬gt;â‚¬)Â©Â©Check out other student achievements in the arts on pages 8-9. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Western Front Friday, June 1,1990 Cleanse the vermin on our campus We're saved!!!! No morebreasts and snakes By Jeff Galbraith guest columnist I was reading the Front the other day (because,of course, my June issue of Heaving Heavy Bondage Queens hadii'tarrived),andInoticed a recentmovement in the AS. Unfortunately it wasn't the movement of brain impulses. It looks as if there'sgoing to be a very vocal and heavy battle to ban publications at the bookstore deemed as "pornographic." . Thank God. It's about time someone had the balls (or whatever they may have) to stand up andscream, "Blech!" and remove these perv-pages from our view. Naked women are gross and harmful. Noone can dispute that. They perpetuate false ideals and therefore should be hidden from society exceptwithin the walls of very dark honeymoon suites. A . Take, for instance, the Playboy issue lastyear which featured Latoya Jackson (Michael's ex-little sis). The wholly unwholesome pictorial featured poorLatoya forced to lay buck-naked with bloated breasts and a huge python (Hugh Hefner later felt bad andgave her a few hundred thousand dollars). This is likely to make stupid women give themselves home-silicon jobs and fondle giant reptiles. And worse yet, it makes us sexist-supremacist-and-generally-horny- males expect womenwith big boobs and even bigger snakes to stumble into our lives and hottubs. I know, I'm already ruined. It's too late for me. Those ripped centerfold pages we used to findwhen I was in junior high have turned me into the women-hating, twisted freak I am today. In fact, if I findan intelligent woman, I'll probably beat her brutally â€” and it's all your fault, Hugh, you vicious bastard.

There haven't been anygood witch-hunts lately and the reactionary feminist/moral minority camp could use a seriousadrenalin release. This isn'tjustamodern problem.

While she's not immediately naked, we all know what lies beneath that cute Italian blouse, and besides she's not doing anything beyond sitting there, looking submissive and dumb.This gives society the idea all women should wear Italian clothes and strike passive poses.

Yes, I was there with my ear-lobes decked out with my mom's assorted religiousmedallions and my waver haircut covering three-fourths of my pre-pubescent face. With the help of MTVand KYYX, this was also the year I discovered the one thing that wasn't synonymous with a "passingphase" â€” U2. Something about the song "New Year's Day" with lead singer Bono crooning, "I want tobe with you night and day," made me want to get one of my first album s, War. From the days of pilingon my sister's make-up and hanging out at 7-11,1 discovered my favorite band. With War, U2 broughtme music I could rebel with and for the first time I felt like I knew exactly what my cause was. This band believed in freedom. This band believed in love. And for that period in my live, I felt this band believed inme. The album's first cut, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," questions the practicality of war. Bono sings,"And the battle's just begun. There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within ourhearts, and mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart" With the Edge's machine gun guitar, AdamClayton's pulsating bass and drummer Larry Mullen Jr's driving rhythms, the band comes across like anarmy. BLAST FROM THE PAST And they should sound this way, for U2 has seen the battlefirsthand. The band's homeland, Ireland, is plagued with revolution, which often goes unnoticed by themedia. Yet, in War, U2 expresses the fears both the Irish population and other war-torn countries faceeveryday. In "Like a Song," U2 confronts the horror of revolution, "And we love to wear a badge, auniform, and we love to fly a flag. But I won't let others live in hell, as we divide against each other, andfight amongst ourselves." In this album I heard the courage to stand up for your beliefs, whether it bein yourself, your country or your religion. U2 is believable. Lou Reed said, "U2's not a pop group. Theyare in this for real." And from the beginnings of the band in 1976, U2 realized then-style involved muchmore than music. About their early acts, manager Paul McGuinness said, "They were very bad, but itwasn't the songs that were the attraction. It was the energy and commitment to performance. Bonowould run around looking for people to meet his eyes." In essence, Bono and the band were looking forus all to get a grasp on reality. Through War, I learned there were much more important things in lifethan my 14 year-old concerns about the pimple on my forehead. The power of love is anotherimportant theme on the album, as addressed in "Drowning Man." I remember Bono promising me, "Takemy hand, you know I'll be there if you can I'll cross the sky for your love. And I understand these windsand tides, this change of times won't drag you away." O.K.,Iknowhe wasn'tpromis-ing ME this, althoughin "Gloria"(off the second album October) he did say if he had anything he'd give it to me â€” Uh huh,yeah right! The album ends with the sing along anthem "40." "40," along with other cuts from War,October and Boy are available on the concert album Under a Blood Red Sky. In concert is where theband's passions take shape. But the album struck something deeper with me â€” it seemed tominimize all the concerns I had about being a freshman in high school, and heighten a new awareness of my own personal freedom.

Jason Tromsness, the 1990 Outstanding Graduate of theTheater/Dance department, sat center-stage in the Old Main Theater making his own sounds on anacoustic guitar while he waited for the sound system to be restored during a "We're Not Your Mother"rehearsal. "We're Not Your Mother" is a performance group he and his friends began which does tenminute experimental dialogues incorporating music, art and poetry. Tromsness isn't quite sure whyhe was recognized as Outstanding Graduate. Taking six years to complete a degree at Western is not a sign of a student extraordinaire, Tromsness said. "I think it's their (the Theater/Dance department)way of telling me it's time to go," he said with a half laugh. "It feels good and I feel like I've maybe left amark here somehow. I think maybe they think I gave the greatest service to the department. That isappreciated but other students, like these guys, deserve it just as much as me," he said as two of his"Mother" cohorts walked into the theater. "I have to thank everything to the wisdom of Bob Dylan,"Tromsness said explaining that George Mount, one of the "Mothers" introduced him to Dylan. "He sayseverything about the human condition in his lyrics." Acting is all about the human condi- â€¢ tion.Tromsness favors being a character actor. "You can show people what they're like and maybe influencethe way they continue to behave," Tromsness said. Acting is an outlet for the powers of observation, hesaid. "Everybody observes what is around them but they don't know what to do with what they learn. Anactor attempts to use every experience to relate to the real world." Playing the villain in a show issomething Tromsness likes but not because .people remember the bad guy. "People don't think theycould ever be a rapist or a murderer but all you have to do is scratch a little off the surface of yourselfand you find you have it in you somewhere," he said. "It is scary but kind of fulfilling. It's like therapy and you don't have to pay for it." Hiding behind characters, costumes and masks is what makes the stageattractive to Tromsness, but hiding is not what he does when it comes to his role within the theaterdepartment. Two months have not gone by when he wasn't involved in a production. He has participatedin approximately 70 shows during his career at Western. Acting is not his only talent. He does a lotof the technical work too. Building and designing sets, costuming, mask- Besides being wanted he willbe allowed to teach classes as well as study there. In the third year of study at USC, master'sstudents attendFoldger's Shakespearean Theater in Washington D.C. to polish their professional acting skills. Teaching theater at university level is Tromsness' career goal. He wants to experienceprofessional theater first so he can bring expertise to the students. He admires many of Western'sTheater/Dance department faculty. "From what I've heard and experienced, this is the best bachelor ofarts program in the state. The faculty and staff teach you by letting you sink or swim. If you have anexperimental idea, they give you the opportunity to make it real. They are knowledgeable and I owe all Iknow about acting to them," Tromsness said. College was not on Tromsness' agenda really love thisplace. It's a family and it is really productive. making and sound are all components of his theatricaleducation. Tromsness will be staying at Western to perform in Summer Stock productions throughAugust 11. But then he won't be hanging around in the Western limelight. He begins his masters program in fine arts at University of South Carolina (USC) on August 20. He was nominated to go to theEducational Regional Theater Auditions (ERTA), where college-age actors have the opportunity tobe seen by university theater recruiters, repertoire theater groups and summer theaters. Tromsnessreceived many offers but chose USC for several reasons. "They really seemed to want me. Instead ofgoing to Rutgers or Indiana University where they'd take me or leave me, I figured I'd go where I waswanted," he said. â€” Jason Tromsness once his dream of a football career was ruined after a work-related knee injury forced him to grope for other alternatives. During high school he was in a rock 'n' rollband and worked part-time. He took an acting class and was encouraged by teachers to continue. "I dothis because it's all that's left," he said jokingly. "I was lousy at building fences and digging ditches, Icould play the guitar but wasn't right for the band's image so I sold all my musical equipment and paidfor my first quarter at Western. "I'm sure I haven't used the time (at Western) wisely ... who does?"Tromsness said. He is also sure he loves what he does and his experience in Western's Theater/ Dance department was something he won't regret. "I really like this place. It's a family and it is reallyproductive. It's going to be hard to leave." $ ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 9 Outstanding graphics by Randall By Julie Davisson staffreporter Five years of hard work has paid off for Western senior Scott Randall. On top of graduating witha Bachelor of Arts this spring, Randall has been selected as Outstanding Graduating Senior for the ArtDepartment. Randall, a studio art major with a concentration in graphic design and illustration andcomputer graphics, said the recognition came as a surprise because he didn't even know what it was.Kristi Lundstrom of the Alumni Office said each department chooses, based on their own criteria, onegraduating student to receive the award. Selection is not necessarily based on grade point average, buton, "what type of student they've been, what they've accomplished and how they've accomplished it,"Lundstrom said. Randall appreciates the recognition, but said, "it's weird to be singled out when youknow everybody's working just as hard as you are." Randall has puthis graphic design skills and talent to good use this year. He has worked at the computer lab in the Art Annex since September. "Computersare a really valuable resource," he said. He said he has learned a lot through his work there, and it hasprovided some valuable experience. In addition to the job, Randall spent time both fall and winter quarters designing posters for Associated Student events and films. Randall designed the posters for suchcampus films as, "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid," "Decline of Western Civilization" (parts one and two) and"Variety." Randall also designed the Accentlogo fortheFront, which is currently in use. This quarterRandall is working on the Klipsun staff as a graphic designer. "(Working on Klipsun) is a greatopportunity for someone in my position," he said. Randall said the experience has made him realize heenjoys working.on publication layout and it will provide valuable resume and portfolio material. Randallsaid having a good portfolio is more important than the degree upon leaving the Art Department. Aftergraduation, Randall and a friend, Liz Johanson, are planning to setup a studio in Seattle and beginfreelance work. "It's a bit scary walking out the door and not knowing (exactly what's ahead)," he said. A dessert and beverage celebration for all outstanding graduating seniors is scheduled for 7 p.m. on June15 in the Viking Union Lounge. President Mortimer and faculty from each department will speak andawards will be given. Paul Turpin Musician plays trombone, reggae By Shirley Mullin staff reporterThe 1990 Outstanding Graduate of the Year award "honors the student who is the best, not necessarilythe one with the highest GPA," said Kristie Lundstrom, staff member of the Alumni Office. The musicdepartment has selected Paul Turpin as its graduate of the year. "I'm honored," said Turpin of his award."There are a lot of surprisingly talented people in this department." Lundstrom said an outstandinggraduate is chosen by every department and each department sets their own criteria for the award.Dr. Mary Terey-Smith, faculty member in the music department said the depart-mentlooks for acombination of things. The first factor was general standing in General University Requirement classes."Paul has a very high general standing," Terey-Smith said. The second factor is individual development at Western. Terey-Smith said Turpin is "active in many areas â€” he plays the trombone quite well,and also is a composer." David Wallace, faculty member in the music department, said the department was encouraged by Turpin's development while at Western. "The music department is fortunate in thatit has a variety of students talented in various areas," said Wallace. Turpin is active in both composingand performing. Paul Turpin The final factor in choosing the outstanding graduate of the year is thestudents service to the department. Turpin participated in ensembles and orchestra, said Terey-Smith. This is the category where creative ability is important, said Wallace. Turpin will receive hisdouble-major bachelor's degree in Music Composition and Trombone Performance and plays keyboardson the Bellingham-based reggae band Jumbalassy (formerly the Almighty Dread). "All-together thesefactors placed Paul high in the standings," said Terey-Smith. Turpin will be entering Western's mastersprogram in musical composition next year in the fall. "Things have been going real well with Jumbalassy, which would have kept me up in Bellingham anyway," said Turpin. Turpin will also be helping out with anew electronic music studio for the music department, which will be ready for use in the fall. CurrentlyTurpin is in the process of producing a Jumbalassy record which the band recently recorded at GothamCity recording studio in Vancouver, B.C. Turpin said he hopes to have a Jumbalassy single out in threeweeks. Turpin gained experience in musical production from time spent at the Fairhaven recordingstudio. "I really like producing," Turpin said. "It takes a combination of all the talents (musiccomposition, music performance and audio recording techniques) I have been trying to learn here atWestern for the past five years."

The budget allocates $120,480 less than the $1.1 million requested and theAS has a deficit of $10,000, AS treasurer Bob Visse said. The hardest blows were to the Faculty/Course Evaluation Program, the monthly environmental publication The Planet and staff funding for the newEthnic Student Center, which were all cut. In addition, eight AS Productions positions were eliminated,including assistants who post flyers and handle other promotional duties. Visse said increasing revenues through higher prices or cutting discount rates at the student bookstore may be considered, althoughhe would prefer other alternatives. The cuts are necessary because the AS received $80,000 less thanexpected because student enrollment is lower than expected, said AS president Kent Thoelke. Twoproposals were submitted by the AS at the Service and Activities Fee Split Committee, whichrecommended how $85 out of each student's tuition should be divided between the AS, the Departmently Related Activities Committee (DRAC) and Housing and Dining. The first, proposing to cut DRAC'sbudget, was defeated because of a heavy turnout of DRAC supporters. Thoelke said he felt the cut' would have been justified. "The reason for that proposal was the fact that the DRAC proposals were a mess,"he said. "They were hard to read, they had deficits running and I didn 't feel it was appropriate to give them the same amount of money when they were running deficits." A second proposal by Thoelke tocut Housing and Dining's budget by .03 percent was also defeated. The SA committee voted to carryover last year's budgets with proportional increases to each budget. Almost all organizations asking formore money than last year received it, said Christine Hart, AS vice president for Internal Affairs.However, few received what they asked for. We're not going to spend that much money to put thefacility in and then not operate the program. Kent Thoelke, AS President The strongest protest of theproposed budget came from supporters of the Ethnic Student Center, whose $42,000 administrativebudget was eliminated since it is anew organization. However Thoelke said funding will be availablesomehow by the time the center is scheduled for completion in November. "We're not going to spendthat much money to put the facility in and then not operate the program," he said. Funding for ThePlanet was eliminated, Thoelke said, because the AS felt DRAC should support it. "The budgetcommittee decided that students in The Planet were receiving credit from Huxley College and Huxleywas deriving most of the benefits from the program itself, and because of that it was more a department related activity than an Associated Students activity," he said. Sara Olason, editor of The Planet,said it would take a year for DRAC to put the magazine in it's budget and expressed concern for whatwould happen during that year. Hart mentioned the possibility of funding the publication for one year ona "sunset" basis, with publication ceasing if DRAC does not fund it. Cuts to AS Production staff will becrippling, said next year's AS Vice President for Activities Moria Hopkins, because of changes alreadymade in personnel structure. Stanton Continued from page 1 was driving the oncoming car. Accordingto the State Patrol report Stanton was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and was driving a1981 Yamaha 750. Stanton's roommate, Todd Rutherford, was accompanying him on his ownmotorcycle. Rutherford, a senior majoring in manufacturing, was escorting Stanton to the Southern tipof Chuckanut Drive to see him off on a Memorial Day weekend trip. "He was going on a trip to EasternWashington. I loaned him my helmet because it was a much better helmet than his," Rutherford said.Rutherford, who was in front of Stanton when the accident occurred, said they had been driving at thespeed of 60 to 65 mph at the time of the accident and the oncoming car tried to get out of the way. "Iwas about 30 feet in front of him," Rutherford said. "I saw the whole thing in the rearview mirror. "When Ifirst saw the accident I thought, 'this is really going to ruin his weekend,'" Rutherford said. "I reallythought he was alive." Rutherford only knew Stanton six months, but he said it was more than enoughtime to really get to know him. "When you met Jamie, you either loved him or hated him,"Rutherford said. "Most people loved him." "Where ever he went a good time followed him," said AnitaM. Poor, Stanton's girlfriend of two months and a junior majoring in environmental studies. "I'm still inshock. It's hard to be here without him." Both Poor and Rutherford described Stanton as a person who lived his life to the fullest. "He liked to go fast.

Leathers are pantsand jackets made of leather and are worn as protection by motorcycle riders in case of an accident.Stanton and Rutherford were longtime motorcycle riders and had many opportunities to drive downChuckanut Drive before the accident. "We rode Chuckanut a lot," Rutherford said. "It was just another drive down Chuckanut." "I'll always remember the first drive down Chuckanut when we went to theLonghorn Saloon in Edison," Rutherford said. Rutherford isn't sure when or if he will ride his motorcycleagain and is now driving a borrowed truck. "I gave my dad my motorcycle," Rutherford said. "I've beenriding all my life."

Variousideas for balancing the budget were discussed, but Visse said either an appeal to voting members of the SA committee to change ' their votes or increased revenues from the bookstore were the only optionsleft. Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board, said using the bookstore for additional funds would be "aneasy out." A one percent decrease in the discount rate would generate up to ^ $40,000, but would set abad precedent. Give Our Kids Room To Grow.

Golf ... it's a gentleman's game. Arnold Palmer,Republicans, yellow slacks and Cadillacs â€” how does one define it? Golf is not just a sport... it's apassion. A passion that breeds deep in the heart of every red-blooded American. No other sport offers the peace and serenity that golf does. It's just you and nature (grass, trees, sand and water) out there on the course. It could very well be the fastest growing sport in America today. Soon, everyone will be flockingto their local course in search of that perfectround... scratch golf. That ever elusive perfect round is whatbrings most golfers out to the pourse at the crack of dawn, day after day. People go about attempting tomaterialize this dream in different ways, whether it be by playing with a set of $1000 Pings or studying aJack Nicklaus golf instructional video. Just as there are many different ways of obtainingthatperfectround, so to are there many different interpretations of the perfect round. For some, it's justthe dream that someday they will break 100 (on a par 72 course), for others it's the hope that one daythey will play a round without losing any balls. Yet, in the end, after that one-hundredth bucket of ballshave been hit and that last series of lessons have been completed, few are any better than when theyfirst started. This is the beauty of golf. It really doesn't matter how good you are, in fact those golfers thatare lacking in skill usually have a better time while playing it. It's those people who take the game tooserious â€” swearing and throwing their clubs â€” that give golf and golfers a bad name. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. Whenyou think about it, golf may be the only equal opportunity sport in the world. No other sport allows menand women to compete together fairly and what's great about golf is that there is no need for competitionanyway. Golf is a relaxing sport to be enjoyed by all; rarely does it need to get serious. Many businessdeals have been finalized on the golf course and many presidential and congressional decisions havecome about during a round of golf, but nothing can compare to playing with a few friends. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. It's atime when a few friends can spend some quality time bonding together or working out their problems.So on the next sunny day, call a few friends, grab the hickory sticks and hit the course for a round ofterrible golf and some quality bonding.

What you get is Ray Townsend's racingcar, number 77. Townsend is a senior studying history and races his car every Saturday from the endof March through the end of September at Evergreen Speedway located at the Evergreen StateFairgrounds in Monroe. "I've been going to car races since I was a week old and started racing four years ago," Townsend said. Townsend bought his car for $150 and estimates it is now worth $5,000. Theentire car had to be changed to make it into a race car. A special racing seat was installed and thedashboard was replaced with a sheet of steel. Only the necessary gauges were left, such as the oilpressure, water temperature and tachometer. "The car has a standard transmission three speed andthe engine is a 351 Windsor," he said. "The goal is to get as much weight as possible on the left sidebecause of the turns on the track." Townsend races in the bombers class, which originally was for street cars with minor changes. However people made more and more changes, so the cars were more likeracing cars than street cars. Townsend's racing team, T and B Racing, is comprised of his father,brother-in-law and one pit crew member. "My dad provides the money and my brother-in-law racesanother car." The races begin at 7 p.m. with opening heats determining which cars will be entered intothe main events. The heat races are eight laps and Townsend said usually 10 cars are in each heat andthere is a good balance between the faster and slower cars. There are three main events- a 15, 20 and25 lap race. Townsend has never won a main event yet he still looks forward to the races and isoptimistic about going every weekend. "I like the competition and the challenge," he said. This year, out of six events, the heat and the main race, Townsend has finished 11 times in the top 10 and six timesin the top five. Townsend's average lap speed is 62 m.p.h. and said his high speeds are around 85m.p.h. We're Fighting For Your Life.

The pride that guys take in theirintramural sports T-shirts. I've never seen anything like it before. These shirts get more wear and use then your first pair of Ray-Ban sun-glasses got. Or, when after months of saving, you finally got your mountain bike. Or, remember back in high school and that first varsity letter? Even the letterman's jacket wasn'tquite the same. Sure, you used them all until you thought they were going to wear out, rot or break, butthe similarities end there. Nope, college is the big time, and an intramural T-shirt means you 're the bestof the best that quarter in some sport, and dammit if everyone isn't going to know it! In my four years atWestern, the graphics have stayed the same and only the colors of the shirts seemed to have changed. I have managed to make some observations: 1) Have you ever seen a girl wearing one? They must havethem. I know girls who could kick a lot of guys all over the court or field or pretty much anywhere. So whydon't they wear their shirts? It's a mystery. 2) Guys will wear their shirts no matter how old, how tight orhow ragged they look. I have a friend who won a shirt in 1986 when his softball team won that yearstournament. He still can be seen wearing it on especially bright sunny days when there's a lot of people(girls and intramural losers?) filling Red Square. It's faded, torn and basically pretty grungy looking, but the pride is apparent. Some guys shirts are so tight it almost looks ridiculous. I asked a male friend aboutthis and he said, "Well how else are you supposed to see the muscles?" Hmmmmm. 3) There are noboundaries to the extremes guys will go to get the prized shirt. One friend had just made it to the finals in the spring tennis competition. The next day was the big day, and he was sure he could win. Whathappened? He sprained his ankle. I mean really messed it up. It looked like a golf ball. But that didn'tmatter. He took plenty of Advil, wrapped the ankle H^^^^^^^^HH^^^^^^^^^^H "With Nutri/System, Ipermanently lowered my weight 126 lbs. I lowered my cholesterol, too."

I've been told it impresses their buddies and is a good way to kick up aconversation with the babes. 5)1 know guys that sleep in their shirts, play other unrelated sports in theirshirts and, when the shirt has been worn to the point that it has been reduced to a mere rag, use it towipe up beer spills.

SUPERCUTS ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front OPINION Friday, June 1,1990 Removal of magazines denies student choiceWestern students are non-thinking machines who shouldn't be allowed to make personal choices. Right? That's the message the AS board sent on Tuesday when four of their members decided for 10,000 otherstudents to ban Penthouse, Playboy and Playgirl from the Student Coop bookstore. The board had noright to make that decision for the rest of us. The real issue isn't the pictures in the magazines, butrather the freedom of choice â€” the foundation of a democratic society. We don't want anyone deciding for us what to do. Censorship is wrong. If anyone objects to those magazines, they don't have to buythem. It's their choice. Or was. CHOICE is important. One year ago, thousands of Chinese students were denied the choice of democracy. On June 4, the Chinese government turned on its own young,opening fire and rolling its tanks over an estimated 1,000 of its most passionate, most hopeful, brightstars. Ev$h a^ear after the Tiananmen Square massacre, the horror continues^. Yesterday three formerhunger strikers, the only open critics of the government since the protest ended, disappeared and theirplanned news conference was canceled. Once taken, democracy is not easily returned. The AS boardseems to think differently. Jack Smith, adviser to the Board, said the AS could remove the magazinesnow and ask the students in a fall referendum if they want them put back. Chinese leaders probably think they are doing the best thing for their people. They're wrong, as is the board. The idea behind theStudent Co-op bookstore is that the students own it and profit from it. The students should be the ones to decided what is sold in their store. A basic freedom is being stripped from Western students. It's time todemand it back before it's lost altogether. The students in China protested and sacrificed their livesattempting to reclaim lost freedom. On a much smaller scale at Western, we must act to preserve ourpersonal rights as individuals. The AS's approval of this ban could begin a dangerous precedent of elitistdecision making. Students need to speak out and let the AS board know how they .feel. Tell them youstill have a brain and want to continue to use it. Call them, write them, stake out their offices and homes. Let them know there's no way Western students will let them start making personal choices for us.'VHHHBlMktti Kathy Tucker, editor; Linda Dahlstrom, managing editor, Sue LaPalm, news editor, KarenLane Hingston, assistant news editor; Kurt McNett, Accent editor; Charlotte Anderson, assistantAccent editor; Ed Treat, campus government editor; Matt Baunsgard, features editor; Deven Bellingar,sports editor; Darryl Carr, assistant sports editor; Theo Gross, copy editor; Leah Linscott, copy editor;Shannon Fowler, typesetter; Tyler Anderson, photo editor; Maria Manliclic, production chief; DeannaOttavelli, production chief; Garth Mix, illustrator; Pete Stelfens, adviser.

NlCEWOWaoANoFARC! 700 Wgt; YOU'LL NEVER GET APURPLE HEAKL CPS Do-wop-wop-wop Bigoted godfather needs backyard tour I Peter Donaldsonstaff reporter met a man last weekend who said with a laugh, "I only hate two things: racists andMexicans." This third-generation, Italian- American may one day be my sister's father-in-law and Idon't see how she can tolerate such bigotry. He reasoned that since Mexico was filthy, disease ridden,poor and economically backward it warranted his hate. I found his words so full of hypocrisy they mademe nauseous. I wondered if he had ever seen the Arno river in Florence, Italy. Muddy brown frompollution and erosion, with enough floating trash to fill a hundred garbage trucks, the river meandersthrough overcrowded, oil-stained streets. The Po river in Venice and the city's canals have ! becomenothing more than a cesspool of human waste. Granted Mexico has its problems, but areas of Mexicoare cleaner and more pristine than Italy will ever be. When speaking money, the peso is no doubt a weak currency, but the last time I checked the lire wasn't exactly a cornerstone of financial success either. Itmakes my head spin to try to understand a free-market economy and fluctuating exchange rates. Sowhen I traveled to Italy two years ago and cashed my dollars for lire, I found it was like trading gold for dirt. I was getting 1,000 lire to the dollar. It doesn't take brains to figure something is wrong here. Of coursethis man in question could claim his years The seed of discontent in the United States have removed him from Italy's problems and he is now a true-blue American. My argument would then seem pointless untilyou consider where he lives: Cleveland, Ohio. Parts of downtown Cleveland are a hell of a lot worse thanparts of Mexico. Just 20 years ago the Cuyahoga river caught fire from industrial pollution. Yes that'sright, a river on fire. Need I say more? He ruined what would have been an excellent dinner withdisgusting jokes about every ethnic group except Italians. I thought I'd enlighten him on the availability ofItalian jokes. Q. What do Italian machine guns sound like? A. Wop-Wop-Wop. I know it's not very funny, but it was the only one I knew. He didn't like it one bit. "I thought I'd have you sit next to me becauseyou looked the most intelligent Peter, now I'm not so sure," he said. Well, I can handle that, besides my point was made. I finished my dinner in frustrated anger. At least it was quiet, frustrated anger. In aworld struggling toward a fair share for everybody, it's people like this that keep us traveling in circles.Concentric circles that never cross. It's a good thing he's passed some of these quality traits on to hissons. I'm friendly enough and I definitely don't hold grudges, but I decided after my dinner was done that Ido hate one thing: people who are too gutless to look at themselves critically so they point their bigotedfinger at someone else. Bush administration rapes Bill of Rights T Chris Von Seggern staff reporterhe Bush administration's "war on drugs" isn't really a war on the drug problem. It's a war on your civilrights. Politicians, in their frenzy to look like they're actually concerned about drugs, are makingthemselves blue in the face throwing around neat-sounding terms like "zero tolerance." Narcoticsenforcement, agents are everywhere â€” with laws that punish legitimate behavior on the pretense ofdeterring drug trafficking. Agents arc peeking into windows, seizing boats, testing your urine and pryinginto every detail of your life. This rape of the Bill of Rights looks good on the TV news, but it isn't doing athing to discourage drug users or dealers. A law in Alexandria, Va. threatens up to two yearsimprisonment for people who loiter for a few minutes and exchange "small objects" with someone else.This may sound like a perfect description of a street-corner crack deal. Maybe it is. Unfortunately, it'salso a perfect description of a thousand routine transactions all of us make every day. Does it makesense to throw me in jail if Irun into a friend who owes me money on the street and collect on the debt?Speaking of collecting, the U.S. Coast Guard will be happy to collect your boat if they find even thesmallest amount of any illegal drug on board. They don't even care if the drug was in the possession ofthe boat's owner or not. So what this means is I could lose my yacht, assuming I had one, if I wentout on it for a weekend with some friends and one of them got caught with a single joint I didn't even know they had. Hell, not even as much as a joint â€” all it takes is a seed. I'm really glad the government isworking so hard to protect me from other people's casual drug use by seizing my property. Manyemployers have been requiring drug testing for several years. Now the high schools are getting into theact. According to USA Today, athletes and cheerleaders at a Birmingham, Ala. high school are now being forced to undergo testing as well. But there's one little problem with drug testing â€” it isn't 100 percentaccurate. Don't tell me losing my job because of a false test result doesn't violate my civil rights. All ofthese measures provide quick, easy "solutions" to a problem that runs much deeper in Americansociety than law enforcement. President Bush isn'treally interested in defeating the drug problem, just inlooking like he is so he can keep the public happy. I'm not fooled, and you shouldn't be either. Bush cancontinue to pour government funds into law enforcement until we're on the brink of economic collapse,but it won't solve the problem. The drug problem in America is a result of gaping deficiencies in oursociety which must be addressed before we will be able to leash the monster wreaking havoc in every part of the nation. Instead of enforcement, Mr. Bush might want to try putting more money into treatmentand education programs, or social programs to eliminate some of the societal problems which lead todrug abuse. It might be time to try (gasp!) legalization. It's obvious that attempting to control drugsthrough law enforcement isn't working. In any war, when your tactics aren't working, it's time for aswitch. It's high time we rethought the war on drugs. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 15 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 Letters The Western Front 15 Orwell never gt; wrote doubletalk Editor:Somebody may have called it "Doubletalk" at some point. But not George Orwell. Geez, there you guysare, with a gigantic library at your disposal, English profs coming out of your â€¢ ears, and you don'teven bother to look up one lousy reference? What am I supposed to tell my journalistic peers? Contraryto your May 15 editorial on capital punishment, Orwell didn't call it "Doubletalk." The only possiblesource of this erroneous quote ' is 1984. In that novel, Orwell coins "newspeak" and "doublethink." Youwon't find "Doubletalk," and if you do, I'll send you a brownie button. My dictionary gives 1936 as the date of coinage for "doubletalk," though it doesn't say whose pen scrawled it. y You wanna quote somebody, quote him right. Otherwise, make up your own terminology. Reporters have enough troubles beingaccurate as it is. It's been fun nagging you. Sean Robinson alumnus West Seattle Herald P.S.Naturally, if you find that Orwell came up with "doubletalk" in 1936, I'll happily eat a crow. From eachelection, a thorn shall grow Editor: The elections are over and political fervor has died to a minimum.However, I am often reminded of it when I meet people on campus and they ask if I am "Stonnin'Norman," the guy who was in the elections. It is a boost of confidence when people you don't know tellyou they voted for you because they have faith in you. I am sorry I lost the election. However, to all those who voted for the Norman Conquest â€” I thank thee. To the one who gave my campaign a whole newoutlook, the "Refonnin' Norman Crusade," â€” thanks, though it came a bit late. * ir^flRWHWHWHTOTgt;an Smith, be steadfast, for you have not lost friends it is just that the safety line between some hasbeen lengthened. I don't believe I have lost any "friends," but rather I think that the winners should bewary of a thorn in their sides next year. Stormin' "Reformin" Norman Pendergraft Hiney-kicked candidate 'Hot foot' seldom makes papers fun Editor: The vagaries of trans-Pacific and tropic mails prevented meseeing the issue with Dr. Lyle Harris' remarks on the Green Apple story, but I've read with keen interestthe swirl of letters in its' wake. The editor's and writers' spirited rebuttals carried me back to my ownheady youth and the self-righteous, self-serving, splendidly-written (I was sure) sizzler I directed at ourprincipal in the first editorial after he lifted a ban on our high school weekly. The Shanghai American.To be sure, I was defending the accuracy of a fire safety story (that had pained his public relationssensitivities), not asserting the merits of editors and writers having fun in dark places to titillate andtickle those readers that share their level of sophistication and taste. But I can still remember thesatisfaction of a phrase-flexing master wordsman ("A cut! Apalpable cut!") armed with the power of pen and press. After all, like Shakespeare's young blades in Romeo and Julia, I was not yet 16. Touche',Mr. Gibb, touche'! However, I must say that winter quarter's Front sometimes seemed to be written andrun by minds trying to enjoy their youth by clinging to their adolescence. As a journalist, a teacher andan adviser, I admit I always nervously eye new student editors ambitious to make the paper more "fun."Some Western Front humorists have been marvelousâ€”notably Steve Johnson and Jack Broom, nowwith The Seattle Times. But those whose highest humor is giving the "hot foot" seldom make a papereither fun or funny. More often they make it into a joke. I was on campus again briefly at the end ofwinter quarter, and saw the closing issue. The Front carried a story under a wrong headline and thenrepeated it inside. I don't suppose the editor or any long-suffering staff member will put that page orpaper in their clip files. An editorship is a trust. A good editor can edit well and have fun. What can yousay to someone who sees the Front as a swell place "to make mistakes"? My compliments on thespring issues. R.E. Stannardjr.

See Story, Page 11 2002 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 123 Issue 15 Bellingham, Washington Party swing not 'the end of the world' for Democrats BY KATIE JAMES As election results trickled in on the night of Nov. 5, disappointed Democrats watched the Senate majority slip into the hands of the Republican Party. Michael Swanson, the president of Western's Campus Republicans, said liberals are overreacting to the recent Republican victory. "If people think it's the end of the world, it's really not," he said. Republicans gained full congressional control in the national election, holding 51 of the 100 seats in the Senate and 228 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Before the election, the Republicans controlled only the House of Representatives. Swanson said despite the conservative majority, a lot of procedures will probably stay the same. "It would be stupid of (President Bush) to go totally conservative," he said. "He would lose support from the moderate members of Congress, not to mention get crushed in the next election." Western sophomore Amit Sharma said the Republican majority will put the Democrats at a disadvantage. "I think it's going to be a rough two years for the Democrats," said Sharma, who worked on U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen's (D- Wash.) successful election campaign. "All we can do now is start working toward the 2004 election." Sharma said Republican con- See REACTIONS, Page 4 Police stake out crosswalks Heather Trimm/ The Western Front Western sophomore Ashlee Vincent attempts to cross Bill McDonald Parkway as a car passes through the crosswalk. Washington state law requires cars to stop if pedestrians are standing inside the bounds of crosswalks. When caught, violators are fined $86. Study shows Increase in college student cheating BY JEANNA BARRETT Next time you decide to speed past civilians waiting at a crosswalk, the pedestrian crossing could be an undercover police officer. The Bellingham Police Department launched a three-week crosswalk safety campaign last month to raise awareness about pedestrian safety laws. Failure to obey the crosswalk law results in an $86 ticket. After a two-week study, police found that 53 percent of drivers did not stop for pedestrians at crosswalks. Last week, police issued 236 tickets to motorists who broke the law. "The city of Bellingham has a problem," Bellingham Police Sgt. Shawn Aimu said. "There are more and more complaints from pedestrians that cars are not yielding for them." Pedestrians have the most trouble crossing at busy oneway streets downtown, Aimu said. More than 127 people cross the 800 block of East Chestnut Street in the morning, and the majority of them See CROSSWALK, Page 4 BY MEAGAN MCFADDEN After being bed-ridden for a week with the flu and unable to attend class, Western freshman Alysha Holmiquist said she had no choice but to cheat off of her classmate's test. 'T didn't feel I would get caught because there are about 150 students in the class," Holmiquist said. 'T felt really guilty doing it." According to a study conducted by the Center for Academic Integrity, college students are cheating more than ever. Research from 250 universities indicates that 30 percent of students have cheated on tests or exams, and 41 percent have plagiarized written assignments. Plagiarism and cheating occurs at Western because professors do not always define what cheating is in their classes, University Judicial Officer Michael Schardein said. Schardein said the faculty expects students to read the Students Rights and Responsibilities Code in the 2002-2003 Bulletin. The code defines cheating and describes disciplinary actions that follow. "There is still an expectation of the student, but we don't have the opportunity to talk with them like we should," ' Schardein said. Cheating, or academic dishonesty, is defined as plagiarism, which is using someone's work without attribution, giving or receiving information before or during an exam without proper authorization and misrepresentation of identity, according to the Students Rights and Responsibilities code. Schardein said in both first and second violations, the professor is given the ability to choose what to do with a guilty student. The professor can issue the student a failing grade for the assignment or for the entire class and might be sent to the University Judicial Affairs Office for review. "When someone violates university policy, we expect them to learn from their mistake," Schardein said. If the student is found guilty of cheating a second time, Schardein can suspend the student for a quarter, he said. Schardein said approximately See CHEATING, Page 4 U.S. Army Corps prepares to restore Puget Sound's deteriorating coastline BY BRANDON ROSAGE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is examining the Puget Sound coastline to restore one of the world's richest freshwater and saltwater environments, parts of which scientists believe are close to collapsing. v The corps is in the second year of a five-year plan to take inventory of shoreline erosion and contamination problems along the shores of Puget Sound, said Maria Or, Seattle Corps District public affairs officer. The corps' plan includes a comprehensive study and restructuring of the Puget Sound's shore habitat during a 20-year period. Matt Chase, associate geologist for Coastal Geologic Services, said several locations along Bellingham Bay are in need of attention, including the downtown shore and Padden Creek Lagoon. Chase said creosote, a chemical in the tar used to prevent pilings from rotting, has leaked into the bay from abandoned pilings and existing marine docks, endangering wildlife and residents. He said studies show that creosote can be harmful and, in some cases, lethal if consumed by humans and wildlife. He said the corps is likely to address the problems in Bellingham Bay because they affect both wildlife and residents in the area. "I've seen an increase in interest in the near shore," Chase said. "People are starting to recognize that it definitely needs work if the Puget Sound is going to be as clean and rich as it has been in the past." The corps is taking inventory of the 2,354 miles of coastline, beginning at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, through the mudflats of Olympia and to the eastern shore of Canada. The distance of the examined See SOUND, Page 4 Peter Louras/The Western Front Seagulls search for food stranded by a low tide at the Birch Bay tire flats,or mud flats, one area specified for cleanup.

Bush said experts must determine if the voice on the tape is of bin Laden. Sources said the voice on the tape is likely that of bin Laden, although officials are awaiting results of a full voice analysis. The speaker praised recent terror attacks around the world and warns of future attacks.

SMITH Spending eight hours of darkness in front of a radar screen was a daily routine for Western senior and Persian Gulf war navy veteran John Young. Young said he spent six months serving as an operations specialist on the USS Ranger for the duration of Operation Desert Storm. Young is one of approximately 200 Western students who are enrolled as- combat veterans, those who have served their required time in the military or in the reserves, according to Western's Registrar Office. Western's Veterans Day celebration drew a small crowd of students at 11 a.m. Monday in the Performing Arts Center. "I think a lot of students underappreciate veterans," said Brian Howells Jr., a Western junior and the Veterans Outreach Center coordinator. "With all of the students we have, not a lot showed up to the celebration." Howells said the low turnout might have been a result of another celebration and parade in front of Bellingham City Hall that began at 10:30 a.m. Western junior and retired U.S. Marine Dan Bourdreau was a guest of honor and speaker at the Veterans Day celebration. Bourdreau said those who serve in the military are underpaid and under-appreciated. "It is kind of sad, but' I am not surprised that not a lot of students came," Bourdreau said. "It is a tough day to get students to come on a day off." U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) also spoke during the celebration. "Veterans Day gives us a chance to do something very simple and something we do not do enough â€” remembering to say 'thank you' to our veterans," Larsen said. U.S. Army Vietnam veteran and elected commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Williams Matthews Bellingham Post Tom Doyle said since the Sept. 11 attacks, people have thanked him more often for being a veteran.

Honig, the public education director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, spoke at three World Issues Forums on Wednesday. "I would view it as a person's patriotic duty to stand up for the Bill of Rights," Honig said. Honig said law enforcement agencies and the government use the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act to limit civil liberties. Honig said the ACLU fights for civil liberties given by the Bill of Rights. Honig said law-mMmmmmmmi Doug Honig ACLU speaker (360)671-5655 7 would view it as a person's patriotic duty to stand up for the Bill makers might not of Rights.' have had time to read the entire act before passing it. Lawmakers called the ACLU to ask what was approved when they passed the act, he said. Lawmakers passed the 342- page USA PATRIOT Act on Oct. 24, 2001 in six weeks. "It's not limited to terrorists," Honig said. "We must consider the (USA) PATRIOT Act and decide whether it is really patriotic or something we have to be concerned about." Proponents of the act were unavailable for comment. Fairhaven professor Shirley Osterhaus coordinated the forum. She said part of fighting the act is to disobey the government's pressure to monitor suspicious behavior. "I think (the USA PATRIOT Act) is a very important issue for students to learn about," Osterhaus said, "especially when there could be reports of suspicious behavior if people are doing research on terrorist acts." One of Attorney General John Ashcroft's policies was the formation of the Terrorism Info and Prevention System, a network of 10,000 Americans, mostly mail carriers and delivery persons, who report suspicious behavior to the government. Honig said the system of suspicion mimics the cold war, when the government encouraged citizens to turn in people who were involved in, or believed to be involved in, communist activities. He said the government should not promote reporting suspicious behavior as a policy. "We already have a policy, and it's ... calling the police department," Honig said. Fairhaven professor Dan Lamer, the Western ACLU Club adviser, said speaking out on civil liberties is sometimes enough to stop the infringement, but not always. He said the ACLU exists to help the community consider whether to take action. "When civil liberties are being denied, people get interested in them," Lamer said. Zack Cobb, Western ACLU Club president, said the club makes sure injustices are not occurring on campus. The club is currently cooperating with concerned students to find ways Western can oppose the USA PATRIOT Act. "I don't think public disclosure of private information is right," Cobb said. "It's really scary the things people can find out about you." Honig said nearly 12 cities in America, including Ann Arbor, Mich, and Berkeley, Calif., have passed resolutions restricting the broadness of the USA PATRIOT Act. He said these resolutions help express concern and build momentum toward changing the act. Cobb is a member of the Whatcom County ACLU Board. The group is currently working on resolutions to limit the power of the USA PATRIOT Act in Bellingham by following the examples of the other cities. The group will petition the Bellingham City Council to change policies under the act that infringe on civil liberties.

Or said the corps is trying to conduct its studies efficiently so it can correct the sound's prob-. lems and still afford the project. "The longer it . takes for us to put research into action and restore the near shore, A lot of the problems the more it will that need to be fixed are problems (the corps) created.' Mike Sato People for Puget Sound director cost and the more resources will be lost," Or said. "We're trying to do the study and get the information out as quickly as possible." She said saving Puget Sound will cost several billion dollars and is similar to the corps' $8 billion attempt to restore and preserve the South Florida Everglades. The federal government and the Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife will each pay half of the agency's costs to rehabilitate the area's shores, Or said. In a report by the corps, approximately 70 percent of the state's wetlands and estuaries are gone, drained or filled for development. Most of the estuaries in Washington state are used as ports because they naturally mix freshwater from the inland with saltwater from the ocean. Seawalls, barriers and bulkheads line one-third of the sound, starving beaches of new sand and gravel that keep sea life cycling through the ocean. Nearly two more miles of seawalls and barriers are added yearly by road and house construction. Mike Sato, director of the North Sound office of People for Puget Sound, said many of the repairs the corps will be making were originally caused by its own projects. He said road culverts, drain pipes that cross the road, and bridges built by the corps have prevented fish from swimming to the ocean. "A lot of the problems that need to be fixed are problems (the corps) created," Sato said. "But as long as their mission was to keep the channels open, you can't blame them." Or said the corps is scheduled to complete its research by August 2007 and begin construction in October 2010. She said the corps is beginning to inform Puget Sound residents of damages to the shores so they understand the need for construction. "It's a cultural thing," Or said. "We're trying to educate people so that improvements come from everyone doing their part." Reactions: Democrats concerned Continued, from Page 1 trol of the Senate will increase the chances of war with Iraq. "The biggest problem I have is that Republicans aren't very good at taking care of citizens," he said. Western political science professor Todd Donovan said a Republican majority in the Senate will not make a major difference in policy making. In the Senate it takes at least 60 votes to pass a piece of legislation. The Republicans' majority is not big enough to pass legislation without the opposition of the minority party, Donovan said. "Having the Senate majority is more of a symbolic thing," he said. "The Republican Party won't be able to do anything with a two-seat majority that they couldn't have done with a one-seat minority." The Democrats can now use their minority status to their advantage. The minority party has "blocking" power, meaning if they collect 40 votes against a piece of legislation, that piece will never even reach the floor of the Senate for consideration. "The minority party can be a good place to be," Donovan said. "They are more likely to be the gatekeepers, determining what comes to the floor and what doesn't." Democratic and Republican ideologies differ on issues such as abortion, health care and ' taxes. The Republican Party is pro-life and against federal funding for health care. Its members believe that individuals should manage their own health needs. Its party platform supports lower taxes to stimulate the economy and help people of all incomes. The Democratic Party believes in a woman's right to choose. The party also supports federally funded health care and lower taxes for the poor. Crosswalk: Undercover police study drivers who neglect to stop for crossing pedestrians Continued from, Page 1 work at St. Joseph Hospital. "They don't stop for you," said Linda Oslie, secretary of Adult Day Health at St; Joseph Hospital. "We stand out in the rain, and cars will keep going by us. It's really not a good corner." A grant from the state-funded Traffic Safety Commission made it possible for the police to devote officers to the study. Before the campaign, the police informed the public, through the media, where the officers were handing out tickets and. when. Through increased enforcement and information, the police hope to change driver behavior and cut down on pedestrian injuries and deaths, Aimusaid. Pedestrian accidents cause nearly as many deaths as DUIs, seatbelt accidents and child safety seat accidents, he said. In 2002, 27 pedestrians in Bellingham were hit by cars but not injured. In the same year, 24 pedestrians were injured, and one pedestrian was killed. After the study, more people began complying with the crosswalk law, Aimu said. When police monitored Cornwall Street, 92 percent of drivers stopped at the crosswalk. Police want another grant for more enforcement, Aimu said. IWe are trying to raise some awareness in drivers and what ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^8 they need to do," Aimu said. "A lot 'A lot of people are not of people are not p( ^ ^ stopping when rr o J they are required required toâ€”that is to â€” that is where the problem where the prob- /â€¢ gt; lemlies." UeS' When a pedes- Sgt. Shawn Aimu ensure trian is waiting Bellingham Police she waits for the stop in time, Aimu said. The police calculated this number using speed, reaction time, stopping time and road slickness. Motorists do not slow down in time to stop at the crosswalk, said Susan Reeves, program assistant of Adult Day Health at St. Joseph. To her safety, inside the crosswalk, not on the curb, drivers must stop. A motorist needs 162 feet before a crosswalk to see a pedestrian and department traffic to pass. " S o m e t i m e s when the traffic is far enough away I think I'll have enough time to cross," she said. "They do slow down, but they seem like they're coming at a high speed." A few areas on Western's campus need crosswalk safety attention, such as the corner of 21st Street and . Bill McDonald Parkway, Assistant University Police Chief Dave Doughty said. He said Western does not have a crosswalk safety problem. However, UP does try to be visible during rush hour because if motorists can see the police cars, it might motivate them to stop. "We have so many people walking around before and after class," Doughty said. "Motorists are used to us and know to expect that."

Â© 2002 Pharmacia Corporation UX0027965.02 9/02 ---------- Western Front 2002-11-15 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ The Western Front News November 15,2002 Anthropology professor addresses rape in war crimes BY ERIC BERTO Dressed in all black to honor the suffering of others in war-torn countries, Western anthropology professor Kathleen Young lectured Thursday about the frequency of war atrocities in the world. "Evil can be an everyday terror," Young said. "A society that denies people the ability to be an individual is a society of terror." The focus of the lecture was the common occurrence of acts of evil, such as the massacre of 800,000 Rwa-ndans or the serial rape of Bosnian women. "It was a common practice for Serbian soldiers to urinate down the throats of the women in the rape camps," she said. When confronted with the facts of war crimes, students often react with surprise and shock, Young said. "Students ask me in classes, 'Why haven't we heard about these atrocities before?' " she said. "Even if we knew all of the 7 want to know why all of us Americans are remaining willfully ignorant.' Thomas Goetzl Management professor facts, we don't want to accept them." Thirty-six people attended the lecture, including Western management professor Thomas Goetzl, who said he was appalled by the number of empty seats at the lecture. . "I want to know why all of us Americans are remaining willfully ignorant," Goetzl said. He said the issue will probably still be disregarded because it does not affect them. "People will say, 'It's not my problem,'" he said. "But by the time-it is your problem, it's too late." The ignorance of Americans stems from a. lack of concern, Western senior Andrea Capiola said. "People are generally naive because they are self-centered on our own culture," she said. A society that knows what is wrong yet does nothing to educate itself is a tremendous evil, Young said. "The worst time in any era is when those who could see differently don't," she said. "This Eric Berto/ The Western Front Western anthropology professor Kathleen Young tells students and faculty members about the horrors of war crimes at Thursday s lecture. innocence is a kind of ignorance. Innocence is a kind of evil." This disregard for what happens outside of the country can be found in the way the media portrays war crimes, Western freshman Forest Menke- Thielman said. "The media is controlled by a select few," he said. "All you see in the news is what is damaging to America, and that makes people angry and want to support war." The media should show what other people around the world are feeling, he said. "Feeling sadness for what has happened to other people is a large part of the educational process," Young said. One of the hardest task for Young to do is tell people how she feels about America's distant and financially guided stance on war crimes and punishing those who commit them, Young said. "I want the United States to sign the treaty to ban land mines, to ban torture and to sign on to the international court," she said. "I don't think (the United States) needs to be the world's largest manufacturer of arms." 4^L ^^B== Harris Music Specializing in fine accousHcal instruments. 11 String Sale UWLSM â€¢ tesson'es CF Martin Gurtor dealer luge selection 0}print music (ClassicalÂ»Popular*las) lessons for oi levels ami styles dose to campus Are Your BRAKES making noise?
