TBE WESJERN WASHINGTON STATECOLLEGE In The Know? Vol. LVI, No. 6 Bellingham, Washington Friday, Nov. 1, 1963 ...A Smile AndYour Umbrella Rosellini Says In All Fields By Dick Simmons " A beam of sunlight drifted through atypical Bellingham drizzle Tuesday bringing, among other things, the beaming face of Governor AlbertD. Rosellini. ; The governor was in town to dedicate the new stretchy of highway between Ferndale andthe Canadian border. After the dedication Rosellini returned to Belling-ham and graciously allowed The Collegian to interview him. Speaking boldly in regards to Western's present emphasis on the liberal arts, Rosellini felt that the College should do everything it can to promote education in all fields. Qualifjdnghis strong statement, Rosellini added, "I'm not really in a- position to comment on the situa- Two facesAlbert tion but I feel the College should continue to educate students in education." WHEN ASKED IFan open housing law in Seattle or Tacoma would affect property values Rosellini answered with anunqualified "I don't know." He added hastily that he supported an open housing ordinance and thatmonetary values should have no bearing on moral values.

Meredith enrolled in theUniversity of Mississippi in the fall of 1962, despite strong \ protests from Mississippi Governor RossBarnett and full-scale riots in which two people were killed. At that time, the Federal GOV: ernmentfound it necessary to send in troops to protect Mere^ dith and insure his enrollment in the University, aswell as to curb the volence that resulted in Oxford, Mississippi. Eventually this guard was replaced by asmall contingent of U. S. Marshall. Admission to the Meredith address will be 50 cents. JamesMeredith Westernites May Get Station Soon By John R. Stolpe The prospect of Western operating aradio station has been oh the drawing board for two years, and work is still being done in the hopes thatthis station may soon come to be a working, producing, educating reality, according to Mark Flandersof the Speech Department. The idea calls for operating a low-wattage radio station somewhere oncampus. It will probably broadcast from the third floor of Old Main since there are certain existingfacilities there which would be quite expensive to relocate. The radio-television committee, headed byFlanders is probing through the many ^ifs" involved. If the application! for transmission to the Federal'Communications Commissionu(FCC) is accepted; if the necessary equipment can be allocated; if the permanently loaned FM transmitter can be adapted; if the committee approves the entire idea,and if the project receives the necessary support of the college, its students and administrators, thenWestern may get its radio station. "Of course, we can't operate a station without a purpose.

Final touches are being ' a d d e d this week to a quest i o n n a i r e designed to find out w h a t types of programming Western s t u d e n t s pref e r . { The taskof preparing and ^d- Jministering the questionnaire, 'plus tabulating the results, has been undertaken bythe Program Research Advisory Committee, headed by Howard Tins-ley. The committee is beingassisted by Thomas Steinburn of the Sociology- Anthropology Department. The questionnaire includes questions on movies, music programming, lecture, dance and special entertainment. The questions are simple according to Tinsley, and "there are no right or wrong answers."- The main objectives ofthe survey are to find out how well students like present programs, how they would like to changethem, and to get some idea's on what students would like to see. THE COMMITTEE hopes to achievetheir goal, according to Tinsley, by administering the questionnaire to a select group of from 200 to 300students. Each student will be representing approximately 20 other students from his category. vStudent samples are being drawn at random from IBM cards. They will be divided into nine categories.These categories include married students, upper class single men living both in dorms and off campus,under class single men living both in dorms and off: campus* upper class single women living both indorms and off campus and underclass single women living in dorms. "It is easy to find out what themajority wants," Tinsley said, "but this will help us find out what the minorities on campus f want so wecan program for them too." Tinsley also said he hoped the survey would help his committee to take anobjective look at; all existing programs and to see how they might improve them. The samples weredrawn this week, and by the end of next week, students should receive notification if their names were selected. Election Violation Cited At Monday's Legislature Charges of election viol a t i o n s wereleveled at t he AS l e g i s l a t o r s a n d t h e Elect i o n Board Monday at t he w e e k l yLegislature meeti n g by freshman Myron Miller. ACCORDING to the irate frosh, legislators and theElection Board violated the Constitution by allowing The Collegian, Western's newspaper, toannounce the results of last week's freshman election.. As. Miller noted, the Constitution statesthat results of .all elections shall be posted immediately after tabulation and within 24 hours. Bywaiting for the Collegian, results were delayed several hours, Miller noted, and the Constitution was thusviolate.

Sympathy wasexpressed-- for Negro African leaders by Vernon Serl of the Sociology-Anthropology Department in the second Book of the Quarter session Monday. SPEAKING IN reference to one chapter on Africanproblems found in James Baldwin's "Nobody Knows My Name," Serl noted-. "I- really am sorry forAfrican leaders." f To explain, he added, "They're not sure of what they can or want to do or what theirpeople will accept." "Bad as this is/' he. continued, "I don't see how it can be otherwise with thesystem they're in." _In explaining the African system Serl had previously noted that the Africanleaders, like all who lead "oppressed masses," have to rely on their personal qualities to get to the "top"politically. "THIS," he noted, "is because in Africa the long existence of an external authority hasprevented the growth of a conception of common interest and common goals." "In the absence of this conception," he continued, "the only way a politician can create loyalty is through devotiondirected at him since any other loyalty (i.e., to country) has yet to develop." *i " "In time," he noted,"this con: centration of power on the individual will shake down into a fixed stable structure, buff fornow that power rests entirely upon the leader." Commenting on other problems faced by the Africanleaders, Serl noted that most of them are produced in a Western society which "may make it impossible for them to understand the feelings and aspirations of their followers since said followers have notbeen subjected to Western goals and values." Following Serf's lecture, Western's chief librarian,William Scott, announced that a panel discussion would continue discussion of Baldwin's book at 3p. m. Monday in LB-3. The: biracial panel of students will' be composed of Charles Burton, Ann Brand, Rick Finney and Johnnie Green, with Janean St. Pierre serving as moderator.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Western legislators got their handsslapped Monday for using the Collegian letters page to air their criticisms of one another. At least wethink they were spanked, we don't know. ' About 4:30 Monday afternoon during a typically heatedsession of Western?s own Legislature, Ralph Munro pulled out a copy of The Collegian, turned to theletters page and called for a Committee of the Whole (COW). During a COW everybody but thelegislators, the chairman and the advisors to t he group must leave the room. The clandestineproceedings in the COW a re regarded as confidential and the Big "L" people are s#orn to secrecyâ€”inblood. An official messenger later informed The Collegian that the Blazermen decided that TheCollegian letters page should not be used as an airing grounds for personal conflicts among thelegislators themselves. The Legislature claims to represent the interests of the students. Thestudents who attended the opening minutes of the meeting must not have been very interestedâ€”none of them returned after the COW. What actually transpired during t he COW must be left to speculation.We believe that as soon as t he doors were closed and the shades drawn Dr. Lawrence Brewster,parliamentary advisor to the Big "L" and member of t he gt;- Speech Department, stood up and madean eloquent, laudatory oration cpmplfc meriting The Collegian on i ts unbiased coverage of t he Speechand Drama Department during winter and spring quarter 1963. Of course we can't be sure that Dr.Brewster made Lthese comments. Since the COW's proceedings are confidential we can onlyspeculate. We think that the Legislature agreed with Brewster's stand and voted unanimously topersonally compliment the paper on its fair and accurate presentation of Legislature actions. TheBlazermen went on to commend the paper for presenting the real truth about' student government.They admitted that they didn't represent students on campus and praised The Collegian for pointingthis fact out to Westernites. Again this may not have happened at all; We are only speculating since thelegislators swear themselves to secrecy every time they go into a COW. But, even if they refuted ourspeculations they would be breaking that sacred, trust which binds all honorable student leaders. â€¢ ' - It warms our hearts to think that Dr. Brewster and t he legislators are such staunch supporters of t h ecampus paper â€” even if government at Western i s just one big sacred COW.^Richard MSimmons;keep chips piled high Western's ASB poker table is piled high with chips after the recent SmothersBrothers performance. The chips amounted to $1,664.65 after expenses, according to Mike Boring,program vice-president. Unlike the Josh White, the Four Freshmen, and the Duke Ellingtonpresentations last year which ended up in the red, the Smothers Brothers went over with a bigfinancial "bang." Whether or not Boring arid his associates were lucky or not with this financialsuccess, we would like to commend Boring, the Program Council and their assistants for making thisthe first financial success in many months at Western for a concert of this nature. We would also like tocommend Boring on his idea of waiting patiently, rather than moving hastily, when bookingentertainers. We agree with him that last year's entertainers were probably hasty, and appealed tosome people, but didn't appeal to enough people to warrant their appearance on Western's campus. We feel that Boring, the speculator, should continue playing his cards a ny way he chooses as long as h eretains a winning hand and keeps the chips piled high on the ASB poker table.â€”Ray Burke. -- â€¢".- ' ;T : i Â£ i fi â€” MOW TK^T WASN'T e gt;UO\ A HAt?P T^T, WAÂ£ IT?"

Last year I served asbasketball manager for Xtoach Chuck Randall. I was required to wear sport coat, white shirt, tie andslacks so that I was representing WWSC as was thought proper by the Physical EducationDepartment. In this regard, I believe it is the responsibility of the football coaching staff to dress properly. I think the assistant coaches should be congratulated on the formal dress they have been wearing.The head coach, Dr. Lounsber-ry, should also be required to wear appropriate clothing. His coachingprocedures during the football game are part of his teaching duties. I do riot believe the "bus-driver"pants, he now wears during the game are proper in relation to his job and the policy of the PhysicalEducation Department and that correction of this matter would reflect approval towards thedepartment.

Having had the impressioh that these two men were studentleaders, I was surprised to see such extremely unappropriate behavior on their part. They seemed to have the impression that anyone who disagreed with them was either stubborn or had ulterior motives. Al_ Morse confined his attack to Terry, criticising him for not changing his mind. Al them,unknowingly I'm sure, criticises himself when he later blatantly proclaims that he didn't change hisvote. Terry is even more ludicrous in his attack, flinging disparaging remarks with a reckless abandon,that.includes seven other members of the Legislature. "Damn, Sarge, everybody's out of step.- butme."

Nicholl lunged for one and then Parker went through the middle for the TD.The conversion attempt was wide. Parker had almost all the pass protection he needed, led by juniorguard Gene Fry. The heavy rushing of the defensive unit was effective in stopping the passing prowess of Lee Grichuhin. Quick thinking on the part of Dick Layzell was typical of Western's alertness in thegame. Layzell, punting from the 35 scooped up a bad snap from center amidst a field of Savages andgot off a fast punt that rolled dead" on the Savage eight yard line.

It seems that the big Knights from Tacoma have just a littlepower and they want to tell the world about it. They have players all up and down the west coast andhave even imported a 6'8" skyscraper from Sweden. The Knights are proud of their three All-Americancandidates and their 11 letterm-en. Since there are only five men on the starting team, it might be hardfor the PLU coaches to pick the better of the best for their select start. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ The Knights appear to be in an outstanding position to cop the Evergreen Conference title and perhaps even a crack at theNAIA championship, but bigger upsets have taken place in the always tough Evergreen loop.

ONE DAY SHIRT SERVICE! ---------- Collegian - 1963 November 1 - Page 8 ---------- PAGE EIGHT THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1963 Lake Whatcom Project Most Detailed Of Its Kind By Ray Burke Western's Lake Whatcom project carried on by Western's, I n s t i t u t e for F re s h Water Studies h a s been called t h e most detailed study of i t s k i n d i n t h e world. Dr. GeraldKraft, of the Biology Department and director of the project, explained that this meant that the project isconcerned with more than just one study. "As far as we know, more data has been gathered in thiskind of project than in any other in the world. "The project has recently branched out into a morebiological field of study than at first. At first the project was concerned with purely physical andchemical measurements of the lake. Now, for example, Miss Leona Sundquist, of the BiologyDepartment, is studying the lake's plants, while Dr. Benjamin G. Chitwood is studying nematodeworms, he explained. The institute's research" work may soon be of some definite assistance to thecity of Belling-harri, which draws its water from the lake. How relatively healthy is Lake Whatcom?"Most of the lake is in good shape, but at least a part of it is marginal. Something will have to be donesoon," Kraft predicted. "There are large concentrations of human waste products where houses arelocated on the lake. "NOTHING IS now being done to deliberately counteract these wasteconcentrations other than the chlorinating of Bellingham's water."' The Nooksack River, at the south end of Lake Whatcom where the city of Bellingham draws its water supply, may change the lake in thefuture. "Some of the milky colloidal substances in the Nooksack's glacial water may have long rangeeffects on the lake's temperature, plants and animals," Kraft said. The institute's reasearch work,done by Kraft and his assistants, has aided Washington's State Department of Game, located at theWhatcom Falls Fish Hatchery, " near Lake Whatcom. The Department of Game had been taking itswater from the lowest layer of the lake*. Western's institute advised them that they should take thewater from near the surface. In the past they have had to move the fish from the hatchery during thesummer months because there wasn't enough oxygen for them.in the water. Fish need a very largepercentage of oxygen. Now that the game department has moved the water intake supply to an areaby Bloe-del Donovan Park and near the lake's surface, the fish can be kept in the hatchery the entireyear. Discussions To Continue Dr. H e r b e r t G. K a r i e l of Western's Geography Dep a r t m e n t r e c e n 11 y announced t h a t plans a r e under way t o continue the g e o g r a p h y discussion group. "This year we're giving the students more responsibility in running the discussion groups.Faculty members will more or less serve as advisors," Kariel said. Topics of discussion will varythroughout the year and include such subjects as the wheat trade with the Soviet Union and its' effects; The next seminar will deal with problems, both economic and political, in Australia. Arthur, Rose, afaculty member from the University of Canberra, will head the informal discussion. The geographydiscussion group will hold meetings at 7:30 every other Thursday in the Map Room, room 20 in OldMain.

They will take their own lunches and cups, and will be met at the trail by the packer, who will take in their personal equipment. Leaving- Wednesday noon, the packer, the cook, Miss Ruth Weyth-man, and the work crew, plus the food, will hike in to set up camp and get the cobin in order. Fleda Whitten will be the cook, ably filling the one requirement of the job —that she be a good one. There will be a few K. P. duties for individuals, but only a few. Dinner will be waiting for the party at Kulshan cabin when they reach there Thursday evening. The first of three big campfire programs will be held that night, with singing, games, and tall-tale-telling predominating. The itinerary of the trip includes a hike up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, the Mount Baker summit climb on Saturday, with meadow and glacier trips for those who remain at the cabin, and the trip out Sunday.v The party will be made up of both seasoned hikers and inexperienced people. Don Coss, a member of the Mount Baker hiking club, will accompany the party, and C. A. Fisher, assisted by Chet Ullin, will lead the summit climb A short meeting was held Monday afternoon to instruct hikers concerning clothes and other dunnage, and to examine their shoes. Sunday, after a huge breakfast, the party will return, with four days of sunshine, gorgeous scenery, outdoor life and companionship, good food, and a whole .mountain, tucked away in their memories—all for $5. Baker Memorial Selected By Irene Fyhn Consisting of alpine plants and basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region a landscape group has been chosen as the memorial for the six students who died in the Mount Baker tragedy last summer. It is felt by the committee who have chosen this form of memorial, that bringing the alpine beauty from the Mount Baker region will be a fitting memorial for these students, Beulah Lindberg, Alice James, Hope Weitman, Julius Dornblut, Vene Fisher, and Maynard Howatt, all of whom died on Mount Baker. Nobel Hoggson, Seattle landscape architect, has ' gt;. prepared complete drawings of the ^proposed memorial. It is to be located near the path going up Sehome hill between the Science wing of the main building and Edens hall. Garden Setting Columns of basaltic rock will form the central motif around whichNwill be grouped alpine plants in their natural rock garden setting. Around the memorial itself will be a basalt rock seat, giving an amphitheater effect. On the basaltic columns will be placed bronze name-plates with the names of the students for whom the memorial is erected. The committee, which consists of both students and faculty members, reports that the U. S. forestry service has consented to the removal of the basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region, and the CCC has offered to bring the rock to the campus. Funds necessary for the building of this memorial have been subscribed by friends of the deceased, and between 1300 and $400 are available. The committee states, however, that it may become -necessary to solicit additional funds from the students attending WWC, but the committee hopes that this will not be necessary. It is the plan now to get the work well under way by the end of summer. VOL. XXXIX—NO. 3? Western Washington College of Education^Bellingham, Washington Wednesday, July 3, 1940 Headquarters For Mount Baker Climb Hayes Teaches Flute Lessons To Daughter As Hobby By Lela Kaufman "My hobby right now is trying to teach my daughter to play the flute,'' said Mr. Creighton E. Hayes, social science teacher of West Seattle high school, who is pihch-rHttihgfor Dr. GrimTfor thesummer session of the training school. He spends the week-end with his family at his summer home on the Stillaguamish river where his wife and daughter, Beatrice Jean, stay when they are not taking care of the lawn at their Seattle home. As yet the flute teaching has been indifferently successful, and Beatrice Jean is still just an excellent piano player for a 12-year-old. Interested in the history of Asia and Central America, Mr. Hayes offers an elective course entitled History of the Pacific Rim to seniors at West Seattle high school. For one semester they orient themselves to a study of Russia, Japan, China, and the Pacific islands; for the next they study the history of Mexico, Central America, and Canada. He finds that most of the people he meets are quite ignortant regarding the history of these nations which he thinks will become increasingly important to Americans, especially dwellers of the Pacific coast. One of his ambitions is to visit United States' neighbors about which he reads and thinks so much. Asked about his other interests, the young - looking, gray - haired instructor smiled and said, "That's about all. Occasionally I play a very mediocre game of golf and once in a while I crawl up with fear and trembling on a horse." Having received his undergraduate education at Washington state college at Pullman, Mr. Hayes, has, ACE Plans Lunch At Edens Hall WWC's Association for Childhood Education has planned a luncheon to be held next Wednesday, July 10, at 12:00 noon in the Edens hall club-room off the main dining hall. Informal talks will be given by students from various ACE groups both in and outside the state. ACE members and .anyone interested in primary education, are invited to attend. Tickets may still be obtained for 35 cents at noon today in the main hall, and. also next Monday at noon and from 2:00 to 4:30 p. m. July 8, 9, and 10, there will be a display in the main hall of ACE publications including the "Childhood Education" mag«*me and various pamphlets. Anyone wishing to purchase any cad of these publir cations iWf do so at this time. as he expressed it, "Kind of smat-tered my education over the Pacific coast." He has studied at Stanford, University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. A typical Washingtonian, and proud of it, he was born in Olympia. All of his teaching has been in Washington, much of it at Lincoln high school in Seattle. Somewhat overwhelmed by an interview to which there was no word limit, he kept declaring that there was nothing about him to make good reading, that this was the first time anyone had cared about the life of a simple school teacher. He volunteered . that one of his most vivid impressions of Bellingham has been the way everyone has gone out of his way to make it easy for a newcomer. Mr. Hayes visited Dr. Grim this spring to learn what the program was to be. Then Dr. Grim spent the first week of summer school doing all he could to make his work easier. "Of course it isn't necessary for everyone to be so kind, but i appreciate it," Mr. Hayes said. Twelve More Get Positions Twelve more students have been assigned positions through the appointment bureau as reported by Miss Hopper. They are the following: Ralph DeBruler, Ocean City, fifth to the eighth; Helen Griffith, Lake Burien, music; Leonard Rod-land, Bay Center, seventh and eighth; Alice Molenkamp, Sedro- Woolley, seventh and eighth; Kenneth Bernet, Sultan, seventh and music; Blanche Campau^ Sultan, fifth; Eleanor Wfflison, Oak Harbor, third;,Jean•Cowie, Marysvffle- Shoultes school, first to third; Marie Beebe, Port Gamble, primary; Doris Woodcock, Sequim, sixth and sev-enth; Frank Anderson, Maple Valley, fifth and sixth; Lois Reid, Maple Valley, second and third, and music. Eighty-six Students Take Mantoux Tests on Monday Mantoux tests were given, to 86 summer students Monday morning between 10 o'clock and 12. They were administered in the college health department by Dr. Earle Gibb of the Gibb clinical laboratory and assisted by. Miss Dorothy Run-die, nurse. Miss May Meade- had general charge of the procedure, with Miss Helen Hostetter and Miss Nadine Toler secretaries. The college bears all costs of the tuberculosis indicating tests. Many took advantage of this opportunity because a state law requires that each teacher have a Mantoux test. Wednesday, 48 hours later, a follow- up reading was given by Miss Meade and Miss Rundle. Questionable cases were referred to the Gibb laboratory and all persons showing a positive reaction are required to have an X-ray follow-up. The cost of the X-rays must be taken care of by the student. Health Exams Completed Health examinations were given to approximately 400 new students. The entire first week and Monday and Wednesday of the following week were devoted to the routine inspection. Supervised by Miss May Meade, the examining was done in the PE building. . Physicians who were employed by the college health department were Drs. William C. Keyes, Donald C. Keyes, Howard C. Keyes, C. L. Long-streth, F. C. Rykken, and A. M. Son-neland. Only two students were eliminated from enrollment because of ill •health. "The students as a whole are in pretty good physical shape," stated Miss Meade; ''although they need more rest." ' There are to be no general checkups of the summer health examinations, although where such cases showing a need for it, will be fol-lowed- up.. Regional Meet Draws Near Final Climax Kefauver, Ogburn Speeches Summarized; Sessions End Today By Victor Dickinson "Democracy is on trial. The threat to democracy is not all in Europe but lies chiefly in the United States and our ability to meet the challenge to make democracy work," was the key statement made by Dean Grayson N. Kefauver of Stanford University in his address before the regular assembly Tuesday morning. Dean Kefauver's speech was a part of the three-day meeting of the Educational Confer^ ence of Pacific Northwest Affairs which concluded this morning. Tells Experiences Dean Kefauver recounted his experiences in the European capitals of Paris; Berlin, Moscow, Stockholm and London, and his conferences with leading educators of these cities. Maintaining that education cannot be understood unless it is seen as a part of the social and cultural patternofc a country. Dean Kefauver searched for the social aims behind the educational system of each country he visited. He pointed out the striking contrast in the thinking of the. educational leaders of Berlin and Moscow as compared with Paris.iand London^ The importance of democracy in education was1 outlined by Dr. Kefauver who placed emphasis on the concept of democracy within a staff of teachers' democracy in student life and control of the school;j-Jde^- •-. mbcracy in the classroom andftd£^: mocracy as it affects the community. Dr. Kefauver's address ended in a note of optimism but he stated, "We haven't fully arrived in America. We need to have faith. We must capture the imagination of youth. We cannot present pessimistic faces and teach democracy. We must have trust for we cannot afford to fail.

A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION has just been concluded here at WWC. It is the first of its kind ever to be held on our campus. It marks another milestone in the college's march toward national prominence. Dr. Haggard is deserving of praise for his hard work and diligence in bringing this program to our doorstep. Many worthwhile subjects and points have been discussed and passed on to you. Do with them what you will; you are the best to judge. May the Collegian express itself as representative of the student body in thanking Dean Kefauver, Dr. Ogburn, George Yantis, Kenneth Warner, Julia Tappan, Anne Raymond, and the other prominent educators who were here, for the time they have given us. We hope that this visit will not be their last. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WAS THE RECIPIENT of an open letter on June 3 signed by thirty-five editors of college newspapers in twenty-four states throughout the country demanding that America remain at peace and that "this generation, born into the first World war, shall not die in the second." The letter was released from the national office of the American Student Union, 874 Broadway, through which the joint signatures were gathered. "Will our diplomas be turned into bayonets?" the editors ask, charging that proposed loans to the allies, the President's armament program, and his speech to the Pan-Scientific Congress "indicated clearly the road you have chosen—the Wilsonian road to war." The editors stated that they had learned a lesson from the last war and that "this nation will serve humanity best by solving the problem? of our own people, by building a forward-moving democracy, by refusing to aid and abet in any way a war which serves no justice, no people, no true progress. Walter Lippman in a current issue of the Reader's Digest expresses himself in a different frame of mind. "The only practical plan for American defense is to organize at once —with government subsidies if necessary—a vast expansion of our plants and personnel for making instruments of war. What those facilities can produce immediately we should sell to the allies. With those weapons they may be able to withstand the attack. Their successful defense will provide us with the indefinitely precious time to develop our capacity to produce adequate armaments. Then if the allies fall, we shall at least have made a start toward preparing ourselves for the emergency which will confront us." With the entry of Russia into the Balkan situation and possibly into the second World war, both of these philosophies may have their chance to rest as we grab grandstand tickets to watch two dictatorial monarchs fight their duel to the death in the arena of the world. To have a safe and sane Fourth of July—don't be insane! TEGENFELDT, WWC ALUMNI, BURKE BRINGS CLASSROOM LEAVES FOR BURMA 'FILM TO WWC Rev. Herman Tegenfeldt will leave sometime this fall for Rangoon, Burma, India, where he will be in charge of two large native high schools. Tegenfeldt was graduated from this institution in 1933, and taught for three years in the Seattle schools. He has since been graduated from the Bethel Theological seminary at St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Tegenfeldt, who attended WWC as Ruth Pierson, and their small son will also go to Burma. AMrMOVN J. W. Burke will bring the entire set of Erpi films to the college on July 15, where a program will be arranged for their showing. A list of the titles may be found in Dr. Haggard's outer office. Those interested should look over the list and make requests for those which apply to them. Paramount short subject films of a recreational-amusement nature will come sometime during the summer. There will be no charges. Opening Saturday Dear Ma: Reporter Reviews Conference By Victor Dickinson Having as its theme "The Role of Education in Utilizing Pacific Northwest Resources," the Educational conference on Pacific Northwest Affairs opened in the College auditorium Monday morning, July 1. Dr. Kenneth O. Warner, of the Northwest Regional council, spoke briefly on the trends or directions of the council's work. He stressed the implications of the many social and economic" problems of the Pacific Northwest and pointed out the need for experts on human and natural resources to refresh the thinking and determine how materials of value could be fitted into the school curriculum. Rettie Speaks' Following this short introduction James C. Rettie, Portland, senior planning technician, discussed the subject, Social and Economic.Problems. Cultivation Traced C. C. Johnson, Spokane, of the soil Conservation service traced the history of soil cultivation and development of machinery to the present day. Mr. Johnson pointed out that land in the U. S. is being destroyed at the rate of 200 forty-acre farms a day by misuse of the soil! Concluding the morning session,, George Griffith of the U. S. forest service discussed the dependence of this region on forest economy and assured his audience that under a plan of "sustained yield" management our forests should last forever. George P. Yantis of Olympia addressed the conference in its Monday evening meeting on the subject "A Challenge to the Pacific Northwest" in which he outlined the use and misuse of our material resources without thought of the future. Mr. Yantis, president of the Northwest Regional Council, pointed out that the real test of government and the economic system comes in times of' depression and economic stress. The real problems we have to deal with are those of making a living. The speaker's closing remarks dealt with the importance of meeting the challenge and building a scaffolding for the real America by the solving the problem of consumer demand.' NOW Dear Ma: Summer school ain't so bad after all. It ain't no harder to get here at 7:35 than it was at 8:05 last • quarter. There's a lot of teachers here now. The only way you can tell them is that they wear stockings. Yon know, it used to be that women who wanted to forget men went to a convent; now all they have to do is go to WWC. I tried to get the principals of education, like yon said, but they all had wives or girl friends. It's sure a bad business when people ask if I have a teaching position. When I say, "No,* they're sorry for me. When I say, "Yes," they're sorry for the kids. It's time for my beauty sleep and you know I need it. Love, BABY. DOROTHY PETERSON INJURED Injured while playing in the snow, Dorothy Peterson was admitted to the school hospital Sunday morning. The accident occurred Saturday evening during the Church mountain, expedition. Examination by Dr. Ralph Taylor showed a dislocated cartilage in the knee. While the injury is not serious, convalescence takes some time. The Teacher and The Public By W. W. Haggard, President In a democracy public opinion is not shaped by a governmental department, such as found in certain European countries. In the United States the government or party in power attempts to justify its program but the opposition is privileged to point out the weakness of this program. The individual citizen is free to appraise the pros and cons^ of the argument and votes accordingly. In other words, sovereignty resides in the electorate. This situation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the state, exists in the school district. Every year the voters of the school district elect members of the board of education, which may be a phase of appraising the school. It is very evident therefore that the school cannot be thought of as separate from the public. The American people have great faith in their public schools. Exceptions in the local district are found occasionally but the explanations of the lack of faith are usually Dr W. W. Haggard related to the particular type of school program offered or the lack of understanding of that program on the part of the people. Blind support of the schools by the tax payer will be found less prevalent in the future than it has been in the past for the reason that the competition for the tax dollar is becoming increasingly necessary as a part of a long range program. There are several ways in which the teacher may participate in a program of school interpretation. Doing a good job in the classroom is of • first importance but not enough. To mention a few aspects of the teacher and school interpretation, a very human approach to the problems of the child always enlists the support of the parent. Participating in community affairs never fails in creating a bond between the school and ihe people. I n intelligent presentation of school problems through the press, the radio, a ^ ^ a ^ t e a c h e r association in which the individual teacher may have a very important part enhances understanding. EoIrVnoL: This is the first of a series of articles by President Haggard in regard to teacher relations with the public. Fiftv-Seven Student Teachers Enrolled Assisting the Campus school supervisors for the summer schoo are fifty S t u d e n t teachers.

The stunt in this show is to get the greatest amount of suggestion with as little stage setting as possible. Two tables and a few chairs convert the stage into the respective dwellings of the Webb and Gibbs families, while Main street runs along behind these groupings of furniture. Kathryn Smith as Mrs. Webb, and Margaret Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Emily Webb, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics WE CALL FOR . AND DELIVER and hurry up center and off to school. The most important character, is the stage manager played by Gordon Morton. In a rather flat, matter- of-fact' New England voice, he genially comments on ' the doings of "Our Town." He acts in various roles; first, the village druggist, and later as the village preacher. Early in the play he calls on Victor Dickinson,, as Editor Webb, to explain "Our Town" to the audience and gets fussy Professor Willard, portrayed by Marshall Bacon, to give facts and statistics about the place. "The short and simple annals of the poor"—this is the stuff of "Our Town."

WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION BELLINGHAM LYNDEN WWC Softballers Drop Games To University of Washington With bad luck stalking- them all the way, an ill-fated WWC all-star softball team dropped a doubleheader to the University of Washington last Monday. The University won the opener, 7-2, and again walloped the Vikings in the nightcap,. 9-3. The games were played in Seattle. The ill-fated nemesis first struck when Sam Carver's 1938 Buick plugged up and burnt a few necessary items that usually keep the vehicle rolling. This strange act of fate occurred in Everett and the boys had to hail a taxi to complete the trip. The return trip to Bellingham was made by bus. In the first game the Vikings' big inning came in the sixth'when Sou-kiip beat out a roller and Landon, next up, hit a home run. Landon hit another earlier in the game that was tabbed for four bases, but he couldn't locate first base and was held to a double. Big Charley Erick-son from Arlington pitched fine ball for Bellingham, but several unearned runs led to his defeat. Butch Dombroski pitched the second game for the Vikings. It was again Landon who paced the WWC gang. The dark-headed youngster collected a double, a home run, a single, a walk, and struck out once for his day's total. ' Dick Johnson, former Husky football end, pitched the last three or four innings for the Washington team and struck out five of the Bellingham outfit.

Striking Washington Public Employes Associationmembers returned to work yesterday after Gov. Dixy Lee Ray met with WPEA Executive Director AnnQuantock. The 3,000 member WPEA struck at selected locations Tuesday and had planned" to callout all its members yesterday. Wednesday night Western's 280-member Washington Federation ofState Employes local (AFL-CIO) passed a resolution calling on the Federation's Executive Council tocall for an immediate strike vote by the 14,000-member union. The Federation's Executive Council met last night, with results unavailable at press time. The WPEA was seeking a 20 per cent salaryincrease. Quantock said she was satisfied with a 10 per cent increase included in the House versionof the proposed state budget. In return for an end to the strike Gov. Ray promised to establish a panelto study state salary scales and benefits for all the state's 50,000 employes. BY CLAY HARTL Acomplaint was lodged about last week's election by Doug Scott, candidate for Position 9, at Tuesday's meeting of the AS Board of Directors. Scott contended that both the voting ballots and the votingmachines "failed to contain my party affiliation (Liberal)," and that if left on, he might have receivedmore votes, thus winning the election. Tony Mauhar, election chairperson, said that it had been"inadvertently omitted from the ballot and the machines." When asked about compensation atMonday's meeting of the Election Board, Scott replied, "I want a re-run." At that meeting, MartinReeves, the winning candidate (by 91 votes) said, "I see the re-run as a senseless exercise, given thesubstantial margin of the results." There was considerable discussion about whether the word "liberal" was used as a philosophy or an actual party affiliation. Dave Marchbank, AS vice-president, said theword couldn't be used to relay a philosophy because election platforms aren't allowed within 25 feet ofthe voting booths. He also pointed out that Scott, as a single candidate, didn't make up a "party." Thisview supports the argument that inclusion of the word liberal wouldn't have made much difference. Mark Gramps, board member, said the use of the word could have run the votes the other way, also,taking more votes away from Scott. Scott admitted this was true but the possibility that the liberal tagwould have gotten him more votes still existed. The board's final decision was to vote against Scott andto ratify Martin Reeves as the Position 9 board member for next year. Student health insurance rates go up for next year by JAN WALLACE Student Health Insurance will cost either $34 or $79 a quarternext year. The $8 increase in single coverage and $18 jump in student-with-dependent coverage are part-of Western's negotiated contract with Whatcom County Physicians Service. The changes are aimed at limiting use and abuse of the health plan, Mary Robinson, associate dean of students, said. Robinsonpointed to dependents as the heaviest users of the plan. Abuse, she said, has included using theinsurance to cover elective surgery. Robinson listed other changes in the health plan. Next year, it willbe mandatory to apply for student health insurance upon entering school. That is, if a student wantsinsurance he has to get it his first quarter of the 1977 school year. A 90-day waiting period prior toseeking treatment under the health plan for a pre-existing condition is a new requirement in the plan. Atleast 2,000 students must enroll for insurance according to the agreement. This is about the number whohave enrolled in the past. v ., . ...v v .. .._. .

Bettis, other administration members and students generally agree the changes are needed. ,When Fairhaven first opened, it was a small, tightly-knit community governed by an unwritten "folk law,"one administration member said. But as the college grew, some of this feeling was lost and questionsarose as to the lines of authority. "In the early years, the administration was run like a family andimportant decisions were made by the committees," Fairhaven Admissions Director Hannah Wegner said. "This system worked while Fairhaven was small," she said. "At that time, students took a strong interest in Fairhaven's governance. But there has been a change in student attitude. Now we have to coercepeople to serve on the committees." Fairhaven has never had an officially accepted charter or by-laws.Thus, Bettis said, responsibility and definitions were not clearly spelled out. A set of by-laws currently isbeing formed by John Bremer, ot Western's education department, who, along with Beth Powers, is thetemporary associate dean at Fairhaven. A charter was set up last winter by a group of students andfaculty which states Fairhaven's purpose and its relation to Western. When completed and approved bythe Fairhaven community, the by-laws, along with the already approved charter, will be sent to Western'sBoard of Trustees for official approval. "The old system was a headache," Wegner said. "There was noone to pin down for certain actions. It tunneled all responsibility to the dean. The new system will delegate lines of responsibility. "This doesn't mean Fairhaven's turning into a bureaucratic monster. Our intentionisto form a sensible structure to hear and channel student concerns more effectively." Another factor inthe need for. change has been community reaction to Bettis. Bettis' contract was renewed for four yearswinter quarter, but not until a heated community referendum questioning his rehiring was settled. "Bettishas met with a lot of controversy and opposition," Doug Leber, a member of the associate dean searchcommittee, said. "We had to use some governance procedures and they turned out to be an ungodlymess. He enabled us to see the flaws in the system." "Bettis has faced mistrust by the community,"Wegner said. "The new system will provide more checks and balances on the dean." The new systemalso will give Fairhaven some protection it has never legally had before. "If Fairhaven has an officialgovernance system, then it will be able to deal with Western's administration and they, in turn, will beable to judge Fairhaven," Leber said. "If we don't have an official structure Western can deal with, theycan tell us 'This is the way it's going to be.' If we have a structure, then we have a say so, a protection,"Wegner said. The new system also will include the position of associate dean, which previously had noofficial status with Western. The position, which was held by Dick Norris until his resignation winterquarter, is responsible for "non-academic" activities, such as housing and dining and student activities. A search committee is now reviewing applications for a permanent replacement. Leber said it is criticalthat Fairhaven define its purpose and direction so the new associate, deaii "will have a set of rules to dea. with when he starts working." There are several problems in establishing the new system, anadministration member said. Fairhaven is a place of creative freedom and administrators don't want tostifle this with a lot of red tape. Also, there is a conflict between the idea of "central authority" and theFairhaven community, which views itself as governed from the roots up, he said. Finally, there is no clearprocedure for approval of the new documents. It must be approved by Fairhaven, he said, but who isFairhaven? That's defined in the new documents!

Jeri Van Dyke,Bellingham field representative, said the commission provides information and assistance with statelaws prohibiting discrimination based on race, creed, national origin, and in many cases sex, maritalstatus or a handicap. She said if a person has a complaint, all they have to do is report it to thecommission. The commission will decide if there gt; is reasonable cause for a follow-up.

Faculty comments to theFront regarding the Handbook centered on the subject of tenure and promotion of faculty. David Pervear,geology, said the Handbook was needed "to facilitate the administration, hiring, shuffling and firing offaculty." He explained that if the level of funds at Western drops, due to declining enrollment, the statewill not provide money for retention of faculty. In that case, he added, the administration must have amechanism for dealing with the problem. A different perception was expressed by Pete Steffens,journalism. "I was not persuaded by the administration, that is Talbot (James Talbot, vice president foracademic affairs), that the changes were really in the interest of enhancing the educational qualities ofWestern, but were out of economic considerations." Steffens said the Handbook "puts the brake onindividual teachers' chances for advancement to permanent status." He said qualifications for promotionhave been stiffened to save salary money and hold back people from permanent position in the college.Americole Biasini, music, approved the Handbook. Biasini said the Handbook "more clearly definesscholarship and process necessary for attaining advancement." Referring to procedures for promotion, he explained, "We in the College of Fine and Performing Arts have a preference for creative behaviors over the more traditional publishing routes." He added he personally prefers "supplanting thepublication route with composition or performance." Other comments addressed the procedure foramendment of the Handbook. A faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, was opposed to thenew procedure. He said the document gives an unconstitutional power to the Board of Trustees to change faculty hiring procedures. He said the nature of the hiring rules is a faculty process and "ratification bythe faculty is essential to the legitimacy of the rules." Ruth Weiner, Huxley professor and acting Dean of Huxley College, agreed that "formal amendment procedures should come from faculty." She assertedthat the Handbook is a good document but that no adequate legal protection for faculty is included. Sheexplained that the Faculty Handbook is not a contract, although it is commounly referred to as one. Shesaid there needs to be a "good legal opinion on whether this is a contract or not." Weiner also expressed dissatisfaction with parts of the Handbook relating to termination of programs. She said there is nocriteria at all for deciding continuation or discontinuation of pro-prams. Weiner was unhappy with themethod of ratification of the Handbook. She said faculty should have been able to vote on each sectionof the document. Although Weiner is currently a faculty member, she did not receive a ballot for voting. "Maybe they just forgot me," she said. James O'Brien, English, was a member of the committee thatdrafted the new handbook. He said the work entailed compiling and editing various processes andprocedures that had been established over the years. O'Brien claimed no essential changes in anyparticular faculty member's case had been made. He emphasized that the Handbook is "a matter ofcompromise. It's not a.perfect document, but it's the best agreement to get out of the Faculty Council atthis time." He said the important thing was to get some policies established that are up to date.Otherwise, he added, "There would still be a lot of loose procedures that allowed people to do what theywant." by PEGGY WATT The marijuana decriminalization bill has been amended to keep possession acrime, but with a lesser penalty, under cnanges dy the Senate Social and Health Services Committee last week. The measure is now in the Senate Rules Committee before going for a vote by the entire Senate.House Bill 257 passed the House on its second try after much controversy. It decriminalized possessionof up to 40 grams of marijuana. The Senate committee's amendments would consider violations ascriminal offenses but with a $25 fine and payment of up to $50 for mandatory enrollment in thedrugeducation program, for the first two offenses only. The records would be purged after two years if therewere no more offenses. "It's not decriminalization," said Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham),sponsor of the Senate decriminalization bill which died of neglect in the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It's not too much of a bill. I'm not completely satisfied, but I support it as being the best bill we can getthrough this legislature," he said. The bill passed the Senate committee May 5, with 7-4 margin. Aproposed amendment by Sen. Kent Pullen (R-Kent) failed, which would have set a mandatory two-yearimprisonment for sale of marijuana. Goltz said a change in laws is necessary because current laws donot work. He likens the use of marijuana to that of alcohol and tobacco, which were not curbed byprohibition or health threats. "It could be the public really wants marijuana part of the environment," Goltzsaid. "But the present law is not being applied or enforced and should be changed. This is our. change."U Applications are beinp taken for WE STERN FRONT editor Summer, 77.Seven copies off the resumeplus any supporting material due in HU 340 by Monday Noon, May 16 Selection will be Wednesday,May: 181977 in HU 101 at 2:00 PM Applications are being taken for WESTERN] FRONTeditor FALL1977!- Seven copies of the resume plus any supporting material due in HU 340 by Monday Noon, May i16 Selection will be Wednesday, May 181977 in HU 101 at 2:00 PM -Â£ *v* ^p rtfr A.

Four bills of interest to students may diea quiet death if no noise is made soon. The bills â€” the university name change, collective bargainingrights for state instructors, marijuana decriminalization and term paper sale reform â€” are currentlystuck in the Senate Rules Committee. This is the last stop before they go to the Senate floor, and ifpassed, on to Gov. Dixy Lee Ray's desk. The Senate Rules Committee is known for holding up bills. Asone legislative lobbyist puts it, "Senate Rules is the . graveyard of legislation." Now that the legislature isbusy with the several budget proposals, it is questionable whether they will even be acted upon.Questionable, that is, unless some pressure is put on the committee to get the bills to the Senate floor.This is where students can help. Simply by calling the legislative hotline, 1-800-562-6000 (toll free),students can urge their legislators to put pressure on the rules committee. It only takes a little time andenergy. These bills all should get a chance on the Senate floor. They've gone through what seems like an endless maze of committees in the House and Senate. To have them curl up and die in the rulescommittee would be a waste. Guest commentary Publishing important In a series of thoughtful articles,Beth Barrett has examined the relationship of teaching and publication to tenure and promotion. It is wellto remember the tenure qualifications defined in the 1969 Faculty Handbook: "Tenure should be granted to faculty members who possess such talent as scholars and teachers that the college can employ themfor the remainder of their academic careers." Similarly, for associate professor, the qualifications include " . . . strong evidence of high attainment in teaching, or research, or in other scholarly endeavor. Usually,accomplishment in more than one of these areas is expected." In the new version of the handbook thedual role of the professor as teacher and scholar is retained. There is a long and established tradition inthe academic world that a professor must be an active scholar as well as a competent teacher. Thequestion is more one of evaluation. How do we recognize a good teacher? What are the signs of an active scholar? We have a system of evaluating teaching although it is currently under review by a committee of the All-College Senate. Evaluation of scholarly activity is not easily refined to fit an evaluation form, butfaculty committees attempt to distinguish between the various types of activity, and recognize thatnot all scholarly activity results in publication. Nonetheless, in those fields where publication istraditionally the measure of the scholar, the committees look for publications in refereed journals asthe most obvious mark of success. In other fields different criteria are used but are agreed upon beforethe evaluation takes place. For example, an artist is expected to put on shows in centers where work iscritically evaluated; an accountant, to write for professional journals; a planner, to educate other plannersthrough symposia, and through distribution of work for critical review. Most faculty achieve the goals setby the academic community, remain professionally active, and become competent teachers. As Ireviewed the files of all those faculty who were applicants for tenure and promotion, I was impressed bythe high level of activity of the faculty at this institution. Faculty are publishing, performing, andcontributing to symposia at national meetings of learned and professional societies, while also gettinggood reviews of their teaching. The importance of scholarly activity is clearly recognized here. Problemsoccur only where faculty have ignored early warning signals. Annual evaluations will point to deficienciesin teaching and scholarship. If these warnings^ are ignored, promotions are delayed and tenure may bedenied. The faculty and administration at Western work together to maintain a high quality environment.Publication by faculty is an important element in our efforts but it is not the only factor and should not beover-estimated. â€” James Talbot Talbot is Vice President lor Academic Affairs and Provost.. Torn overporn First Amendment threatened JAMES TALBOT Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein publish smut. Somewill say that what they publish has no literary value whatsoever. This would be hard to prove otherwise.Yet, does anyone have the right to tell them they can't publish whatever they want to? Essentially, thisis the main question involved with the obscenity issue today. It amounts to a supreme test of our right tofreedom of speech, guaranteed under the First Amendment. Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, andGoldstein, publisher of Screw magazine, both face possible long jail sentences for obscenity-relatedconvictions. Their decisions are being appealed. Their convictions are a result of a 1973 a lt;M -Hoe.Juefo*? TCS ouer m 4/5/e 4 . "3 Supreme Court ruling which left obscenity regulation up to "communitystandards." The vagueness of this term has allowed such conservative cities as Wichita, Kan., forexample, to convict Goldstein. Goldstein and Flynt offer no excuses for the smut they are publishing.Both Screw and Hustler are known for their explicit crotch shots and unsophisticated sex stories. "Iwanted to talk about sex the way we talked about it on the farm, at the factory and in the Navy," Flyntsays. Goldstein, in an article in New York Times Magazine, is described as "being as offensive aspossible, as often as possible to as many people as possible." In a recent issue of Screw, he ran acartoon depicting the nine Justices of the Supreme Court having sex with animals, vegetables and miner-als. These same men might someday try his case. Offensive? Yes. Poor taste? Yes. But should anyone be jailed for being offensive and showing poor taste? Rolling Stone magazine Editor Jann Wenner saysno. "A guy is being jailed by a law promulgated by the Nixon Court," he says of Flynt. "It's an outrage.Since when has bad taste been a crime?" Apparently somebody thinks it should be. Flynt has beensentenced to 7 to 25 years for "pandering obscenity," Goldstein faces a possible 60 years in jail forsending obscene material through the mails. A frightening situation would face us if their conditions areupheld. Two men may go to jail for exercising their First Amendment rights. More importantly, the FirstAmendment would be severely damaged. The door would be open for censorship of true literary works.Regardless of their literary content, Hustler and Screw have a legitimate right to exist. It would be nice to let all the things labeled "good" exist, and all the things labeled "bad" not exist, but it's not that easy.With the First Amendment at stake, the bad has to be taken with the good. â€” John Nelson hoof-in-mouth Editor's Note: This is the second half of the Hoof-in-Mouth column on tenure and promotion. Inaddition to more specific tenure criteria, the Front also offers some ideas to enhance the system'sefficiency. First, all cluster college and departmental tenure and promotion committees should bedisbanded. They are a waste of personnel and time. Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbotshould serve as a one-man committee since he, according to himself, must ultimately agree with all T P standards. Why expend energy on numerous committees (and the increased bureaucracy they cause) when one man can handle the job so efficiently? In addition, professors applying for tenure should lay afolio at Talbot's feet containing the following items: 1} Publication notices 2) Poor student evaluations 3)A short, philosophical poem praising the Olscamp administration and the quality of education. The Frontsuggests the poems be submitted to Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard or the Jeopardy editor for finalapproval. Once Talbot has granted tenure, a wondrous ceremony will ensue on the sidewalk in front ofOld Main. All campus administrators will line up in descending bureaucratic order, facing Old Main andwith their backs to the sidewalk. Talbot will stand at the top of the entrance stairs. The honoredprofessor, to the measured grandeur of "Pomp and Circumstance," will walk slowly up the sidewalk.Starting with the lowliest administrator, he will systematically kiss the central rear anatomy of eachbureaucrat. Once he has graced Olscamp with a peck, he will ascend Old Main's stairs and bow atTalbot's feet. Talbot will chant a prayer to the House Higher EducaUonCommitteo and then bless theprofessor in Latin: "Grantus tenurus!" The professor will arise with tears in his eyes and orate a copyof his longest published article. Professors who are denied tenure will be sent to a corrective institution,such as a community college, in hopes they eventually will see the errors of their ways. Praise be to the father (Olscamp), the son (Talbot) and the holy ghost (the spirit of readin', writin' and 'rithmetic.) â€”Greg Hoofnagle staff EDITOR; Greg Hoofaagle NEWS EDITOR: Bruce Hyland FEATURE EDITOR: LizVerdier PHOTO EDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS iENTERTAINMENT: Liz Rust SPORTS EDITOR: BruceStinshoff OPINION EDITOR: John Nelson HEAD COP?

One in four Americans will develop cancer in their lifetime and one in five will die from it. Ifyou happen to be living in a highly industrialized area, your chances are even greater of developingcancer, and if you happen to be a long-term asbestos insulation worker you have a 50 per cent chanceof dying of cancer. Instead of chastising the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for enacting theDelaney clause, we ought to thank them. The argument that the scientific data derived from animalresearch is invalid and is at best ignorant criticism. Every chemical known to be carcinogenic tohumans (with the exception of Trivalent Arsenic) is also carcinogenic to animals. Many chemicals now recognized as carcinogenic to humans were first identified by animal testing. Also, I believe theargument for administering large doses of potential carcinogenic material to test animals is valid.Industry has perpetuated the myths about such testing to minimize the significance of the effects ofhuman exposure to particular carcinogenic or toxic chemicals. If the sugar addicts want theirmethadone then let them buy it as a drug, but don't routinely expose innocent people to carcinogens.A recent Environmental Protection Agency study found Dieldrin in 80 per cent of the milk of nursingmothers nationwide. (Dieldrin is a known carcinogenic pesticide). We ought to be damn mad atindustry for polluting our environment for the sake of profits, at government for covering it up and at the press for blindly perpetuating myths about cancer and the safety of industrial products. This letteronly scratches the surface. Look around you: one, in five will die from cancer, and the rate is increasingannually. We have to start cleaning up somewhere! Pat Byrne Senior, Biology-Chemistry Editor,western Front: Kevin Raymond's opinion (Front, May 6) in regard to U.S. payments of war reparations to Vietnam is misleading and is inconsistent with the true facts. Raymond attempted to reason that theUnited States has a moral obligation to "heal the war wounds." Raymond states, "America forgetsquickly . . . the Vietnam nightmare is almost forgotten here," but what about the families of the 56,000 U.S. servicemen who were lost in the war? How fast will they forget? No, the moral argument is tooweak to be used as a negotiating crutch. Editorial policy Opinions expressed in Editorials are those ofThe Front Editor, and are not necessarily those of the college or student body.

Letters policy All letters to the editor must besigned. Letters longer than 250 words are subject to editing for condensation. The Front reserves the right to refuse any letter to the editor. A quick assessment of postwar events would be more appropriate.After United States withdrawl, North Vietnam completely disregarded the agreement initialed on Jan.23, 1973 by Le Dec The and Henry Kissinger. Within a year and a half, Communist forces had taken the country in direct conflict with the Paris Accords. North Vietnam kept no part of the agreement. Closeexamination shows that "in fact" the context of the agreement contains no requirement for the UnitedStates to pay any reparations to Vietnam. Why then, should the United States be obligated to payeven $1 in aid to Vietnam? As Henry Kissinger pointed out in a recent press conference, "U.S.economic aid priorities should be kept in alphabetical order."

Work-study offers summer jobs by JESSIE MILUG AN There is not an overabundance of jobs in Bellingham, but financial aid eligibility or a willingness to try manual labor-areattributes that may open doors when looking for work this summer. The summer work-study programprovides full-time work for students who are eligible for financial aid next fall, Cathy Dudik, coordinator for the Student Employment Center (SEC) said. Applications are still being accepted. Most work-study jobs are with public service non-profit organizations, particularly "summertime industries working with children, such as Whatcom County Parks Department, Bellingham Park Commission, theYMCA or the YWCA," Dudik said. These types of jobs can also be applied for through the SummerYouth Employment Program (SPEDY), 115 W. Magnolia. SPEDY has low-income eligibilityrequirements similar to the financial aid program here, except applicants must be 16-21 years old, Dudik said. "This is the time to look for a summer job," Susan Wolfe, interviewer at Employment Security,said. "Production increases this time of year. Construction, landscaping, canneries all step up. Kidsare going to be out of school and then there are tourists," Wolfe said. Bumblebee Cannery, Squali-cum Waterway, and Peter Pan Seafood, 207 Harris, begin hiring for the fishing season in late June and runthrough October, plant managers said. "We've put many people through college," Wes Fahls-trom,Bumblebee manager, said. Both canneries have wages starting at approximately $4 an hour and bothmanagers said work includes cleaning or unloading fish and production-related work aroundmachines. Janitorial work and retail sales are also in demand here, Betty Willert, of EvergreenEmployment Center, said. The center, 119 Broadway, does place clients in part-time and full-timesummer work, Willert said. Both Wolfe and Dudik said berry picking in the area could provideopportunities for students needing extra cash this summer. Employment counselors say job huntingwill take a lot of initiative. "It is important to be there when the job opens. Employers don't necessarilykeep applications on file because people are continually coming in to check," Wolfe said.

Lade, who also had apowerful voice, led the stable men's chorus in what became the "show stopper," "Blow High, Blow Low."The choreography and dance performances were the strongest point of the production, with beautiful,graceful performances given by many dancers. Louisa Ward, who played Billy and Julie's daughter,Louise, performed with great form in the beach ballet, with the help of dancers David Berkey, Nora Martin, Jody Mallahan and Dan Weber. Another traditional high point of the show, "You'll Never Walk Alone,"was performed with the serenity and quiet power it deserves, by Martha- Benedict, who played NettieFowler. Benedict's performance probably left many tearful eyes in the audience. Dennis Catrell, of thetheatre and dance department, gave an unusual, humorous and believable performance as Enoch Snow.Catrell played the role with a slight modesty, which was a pleasant contrast to the overbearing treatment it has received from other actors. Joining Catrell was Charlotte Mickelson, who played Carrie Pipperidge. Together, the two successfully provided the necessary humorous aspects of the otherwise heavy-hearted play. Three other performances of note were turned in by James A. Korski, of the theatre and dancedepartment, who played the Starkeeper; Randy J. Karl, who played the Heavenly Friend, and Giuli EtteCasciopoppo, who played the scheming Mrs. Mullin. All three roles were strictly dramatic and wereplayed convincingly. A slightly slow beginning and a slowness in two full-cast numbers, â€” "A Real Nice Clambake" and "June is Bustin' Out All Over" â€” were the only drawbacks to the production. Timingseemed to be the trouble here, as a lot of people moving around on stage produced a somewhat clumsyeffect. As usual, the theatre and dance department created imaginative sets and costumes. Althoughnot overly elaborate, they fit the New England setting. Understudies for the roles of Billy and Julie areSteve Deines, student, and Ruth Pratt, of the speech department. Deines played his role oppositeMcCauley in the Thursday performance, Pratt will play opposite McKinney in tonight's performance.The cast encored with a reprise of an upbeat song, "June is Bustin' Out All Over," which was fortunate. In the midst of the emotion this play left, a gay note was needed.

The person largely responsible for it is Tom Patterson, a graduatestudent in performance and new coordinator of the music department's guitar program. A nativeCalifornian, Patterson studied for five years with Michael Lorimer, while at the University of California,Berkeley campus. "The Bay area is one of the most exciting centers for classical guitar in the world,"Patterson said, but he doesn't plan to move back in the near future. Patterson said he finds theNorthwest a "healthy place to be." Not only does the natural beauty of this area appeal to the hermitstreak in him (he lives in a house outside Bellingham which has neither electricity nor hot water), but hefinds it useful to him as a musician. Trees make useful conductors of sound and allow him to hear hisown music far better than he could in a city atmosphere, he said. The quiet fc H atmosphere alsoscreens him from disrupts noises from the outside, which allows him concentrate on his art. WatchingPatterson play his instrument is tender experience in itself. He has an unspok language with the guitarthat conveys his love it.' Patterson is a busy individual. He instructs well as performs. He will receive hisMaster degree in performance in a few. weeks recently performed his graduate recital at th WhatcomMuseum of History and Art. Although classical guitar is his standar instrument, he plays baroque guitaras well. Th baroque differs from the classical instrument that it is smaller and is equipped with 10 stringIts tone is lighter and more intimate than that the more familiar instrument. He sees Bellingham as "being a fruitful aret full of potential, which can become a garden or garbage dump." He and his talent will stay t push the city towards the former.

Patty Tork and Joanne Kautz are competing with eight other women for the title of MissWhatcom County, to be named at this year's Blossomtime pageant May 19. The winner will receive a$500 scholarship and represent Whatcom County at various events throughout the state, including nextyear's Miss Washington pageant. The contestants will be judged primarily on talent and appearance.Tork plans to do a jazz-dance to "I'm Gonna Fly Now," the theme form the movie "Rocky," for the talentcompetition. She is originally from Morgantown, W.Va., and moved here after attending the University ofUtah last year. She is a sophomore at Western, majoring in dance. Krautz is from Seattle, and running in her second pageant. She ran unsuccessfully for Miss Des Moines, Wash, three years ago. Kautz is ajunior majoring in music, and a resident aide at Alpha. She plans to play "Rhapsody in Blue" on thepiano, in the talent competition. In an interview Tuesday, both, said that running has been a goodopportunity to get to know the Bellingham area better, and meet more people in the community. Torksaid she is running because of the scholarship, and pointed out that it is technically a scholarshippageant. Kautz said she is also running because of the scholarship, and because it is an opportunity toplay piano in front of an audience. The contestants have been meeting for the past nine weeks, inpreparation for the pageant. Tork explained, "They (the people running the pageant) teach us how to walk, talk and sit." Being in the pageant is fun, they both said, but they expressed displeasure in the publicappearances they have made as a group. Tork commented, "They have us show our faces and getout." Kautz added, "Sometimes you feel like a herd of cattle . . . we never get invited to lunch, we're justherded in, looked at and herded out." They said they like working with the people involved. Kautz said, "Itis hard trying to keep jealousy and pride under control, but when you forget the competition the peopleare great." In response to those who criticize beauty pageants as sexist Tork said, "The beauty partdepends a lot on how you take care of yourself." Kautz said, "I have the right to assume any role in life Iwish." Bob Stevens, the executive director of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce, said this is the first time in many years non-high schoolgirls have been allowed to run. He said this was to give the pageanta "more mature air." Kautz said she would like to see more Western women compete in the future. Alsorunning are: Kim Curtis, Sehome High; Gina Folsom, Bellingham Tech. School; Lisa Fladd, BellinghamHigh; Diane Hardin, Nooksack Valley High; Leanne Dwight, Meridian High; Laura Sibillia, Blaine High;Lori Lagerway, Lynden and Stacey Provias, a Sehome graduate. Two runners-up will each receive $250scholarships. The pageant will be held at 8 p.m. at Bellingham High School. Admission is $2.00 foradults, $1.00 for students.

Six other Western students (who wish toremain anonymous), and I went by boat to the waters off Sucia Island (about 15 miles west ofBellingham) in search of the not-so-elusive cod. We were specifically after rock cod and ling cod. Rockcod are short, round, spiney, have large bulging eyes and are generally ugly. Ling cod are long, slender,slimy, large-headed and tend to get uglier as they get bigger. Both are found in deep water, near rocksand near the bottom. Cod fishing requires very little patience, and practically no skill, a perfectdescription of our crew. We sent our "rigs" (fishing jargon) consisting of herring or smelt bait (chickenbones have been known to work) on two large hooks, with a large weight, to the bottom. Once our lineshad reached bottom, we jerked them up and down to attract the fish. Less than 15 seconds after my linetouched bottom, I hooked a fish. At the same time, two others had hooked the bottom, and were trying to pull the plug on Puget Sound. They had found the foremost danger in cod fishing â€” rocks that reachout and grab your line. By the time I had brought in my fish â€” a rock cod r~ and the others had theirnow hookless lines in, we had drifted out of the fishing area. We drive the boat back to the original spotand dropped anchor. During the next couple hours we caught several fish at this spot and did have oneexciting moment. I caught a 20 pound ling cod. This fish exemplified the greediness of cod. I hadoriginally hooked a small rock cod, but the ling swallowed it, and held on. After a brilliant(?) display offishing skills, I brought the ugly thing to the surface, where it was gaffed and hauled into the boat. After a severe beating with the handle of the gaff-hook, the ling spit out the smaller cod which left me with adouble catch. - The remainder of the afternoon was spent fishing at Parkers Reef, (off Orcas Island) andin the waters off Matia Island. By the end of the day, we had caught 16 cod and one rock which wedetermined to be sandstone. In addition to the fish, Mother Nature provided us with numerous ups anddowns. Occasionally, a couple of our crew members felt momentarily compelled to donate their half-digested lunch to the local marine life. After our trip, we prepared the fish for eating. We filleted the fish(some still alive) by making a slit along the gills, and running a knife along the backbone. After separating the skin from the meat, we were left with the best fish for fish 'n ships the sea has to offer. scoreboardSchedule Golf May 13 Women's Tennis â€” Northern- Eastern District Tournament at Pacific LutheranUniversity Men's Tennis â€” Evergreen Conference Meet at Southern Oregon State College, AshlandWomen's Track â€” NCWSA Regional Meet at University of Washington May 14 Women's Tennis â€” Northern- Eastern District Tournament at Pacific Lutheran University Men's Tennis â€” EvergreenConference Meet at SOSC Women's Track â€” Regionals at UW Lacrosse â€” University of Washington Lacrosse Club at UW Rugby â€” ; -Aside ment, Burnaby May 15 Lacrosse â€” Boeing Club atUniversity Sound NAIA District I at Spanaway May 9-10 Team Scores â€” Western 779; Simon Fraser795; Central 800; Eastern 801; Pacific Lutheran University 804; Whitman 818; Whitworth 828.

But she ure can throw one. Her West-irn schoolrecord of 149-1 is 19 eet over the national qualifying aark of 130-0. She has been in track ever incejunior high, and had own the discus before :hanging to the javelin. For raining, Reimer sprinted, limbedstairs and swung base-tall bats because her high chool didn't have weights. As a freshman at Westernast year, Reimer had a best of 34-0. She went to nationals but dn't make the finals. This ear she doesn'tknow how she tands among others and does tot have any idea what place she could get at nationals.Reimer usually trains four days a week. Monday, she does sprints and throws. Tuesday and Thursday,she lifts weights. She does arm curls, leg presses, hamstring curls and various other exercises.Wednesday is a lot like Monday, except she throws harder, and sometimes all out. On throwing days, Reimer said, "I work on my speed and technique. I practice following through and bringing the javelinall the way back. I need to use my whole body to get my best throw." Beth Barrett gives a bit ofincentive to Reimer. Barrett also qualified for nationals in the javelin with a throw of 136-0. She is theonly other person to qualify for nationals on the women's track team. Reimer makes the javelin a priority during the season, but does not train during the off season. "If I trained more it would help. I had a latestart this season. I played basketball on the junior varsity this winter and play softball in the summer.Maybe next year I will train the year around," Reimer said. "Before a track meet, I think about mygoals," Reimer said. She will have an excellent opportunity to surpass those goals at nationals, May 19-21, at the University of California at Los Angeles. The finish of an odyssey o NOTE: This is the secondand last part of the evin Charles Hitchhiking story. At the end of le last segment, Charles and his sidekick, the iano Man, arrived at Moses Lake, the sister city f Purgatory. by KEVIN CHARLES We hadtaken the last ride with these rangers and it was beginning to look like we ad indeed taken the Last Ride. They hadn't quipped us with cement overshoes and dropped 's in the river, but after an hour in MosesLake, ve were beginning to wish they had. The first Irregular Western Front Mainline \drenalin Marathonfor Hitchhiking was eight lours old and showing signs of birth defects. The only thing biblical about Moses Lake is the mount of religious faith it takes to hitchhike out. loads run conveniently in all compass direc-ons, as do the drivers, straight, speedily, and nstoppably. he only thing biblical about Moses .ake is the amount of religious faith it akes to hitchhike out. An automotive catalogue could be filled with he carsthat passed us by. Pick-ups, sedans, ports cars, Jeeps, stationwagons and vans all ad one answer toour thumbs-up plea: cceleration. After three hours of this, the Piano Man began react helpfully to ourproblem. "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" "Great thought, how do we do it?" "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" I persuaded my partner to come out of the oad, frustrating his kamikaze instinct. Weleaded for the truckstop across the freeway. Any consideration of Moses Lake as a vacation pot ended,inside the truckstop restaurant. The vhite-on-white patrons gave us the quiet looks of listaste usuallydrawn by Mongols on their way a beer-blast with the horde. My long hair and he Piano Man's skin colorweren't smash hits in his town. At our request, we received service, though mietly, rude, and inexactdirections to the bus tation. Discomforted, we went back to the oadside. "We're gonna get out of here."The Piano itfan's voice had dipped into hysteria. "It's okay," I assured him. "If we don't get a ide within an hour, we'll leave." By that time, ve'd probably be arrested. Stranded one short hitch from Spokane, in aillage resembling the leavings of a cattle drive, decided upon a cowpuncher's solution, foisting our packs,we stumbled eastward oward the deeper darkness and our destination. Something scurried with us as we strode along he road beside the freeway. "Piano Man, there's something moving over here." "Right,next thing you're gonna be telling me ou're seeing snakes." We arrived at the next intersection uneaten. It melled of cow manure, and was equipped with a w stationary tumbleweeds. In a few years, we redicted, it would be a whole lot like Moses ake. The desert mice got another thrill as we hiked le three milesback to Moses Lake. The shift had hanged at the truckstop eatery as we went back and struck death-like poses. Different, younger waitresses poured the coffee. They gave us sympathetic advice, having beentrapped in Moses Lake longer than we. Still enshackled by our luck, we reeled out to the roadside again. A trio of state patrol cars were parked fender to fender in a deserted gas station. Within their sight, thePiano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. He swung out of thetruckstop and then braked as he saw us. His Japanese pickup was filled with blankets and children'stoys. "Yeah, I know what a bitch it is to be stuck in this town," he said, shifting his domestic cargo. "Ijust ripped off a guy for $300. Sucker was cheating me blind," he said. The criminal's name was Bill. Hehad spent the day working at a carnival and made off with the day's proceeds. He was helping his ex-wife move to Spokane. The state patrol had two warrants for his arrest. His ex-wife, her girl friend and he had stopped for coffee at the truck stop where he stole $10 from the cashier. Gratefully, we became part ofhis get-away. "I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this," Bill said. The caravan stopped at anothertruckstop on the eastside of Spokane. Bill bought us coffee and he was soon in motion again. By now,the police will have caught up with him. Bill gave the impression of a luckless, though enterprisingoutlaw. The truckstop in Spokane was bigger and just as'depressing as its cousin in Moses Lake. About 50 trucks slept standing up with their drivers inside. Soon we learned the truckers weren't obliged tohurry, or in some cases, even arise on Sundays. Just as quickly, we surmised that Spokane on theSabbath has all the bustle of a petrified forest. Desperate again, we stupidly accepted the first ride offered to us. Our benefactor dropped us off in the middle of the freeway. Sunrise struck as we hiked back to the truckstop along Nixon Avenue. Thirty minutes later, we abandoned the truckstop and began walkingagain. Still later that morning, the Piano Man had led us to a Denny's while I scouted the area for apromising freeway entrance. I selected the on-ramp for our last stand and we went inside to fortifyourselves. . . . the Piano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. Thethree customers already there were laughing as we sat down. They listened to our account of our mileage and self-destruction. Finally, one of them offered us the passenger section of his Honda Civic. The driver was a graduate student in geology, a sacreligious pagan-barbarian (Lodge 362) and very good company.â€¢* -V gt; We drove back through the North Cascades on Highway 20, viewing the coming ecologicaldisaster. Eyery lake and reservoir we saw had high, dry banks and very low water. The Marathon endedat our doorstep where our barbaric friend dropped us in a heap. I was 36 hours older and my body was700 miles more traveled. Some day I might again set out after a new record, but I don't think so. Justthinking about it makes my frayed brain weary.

No. "Austin Harley and I arrived in Seattle at 6:30 a.m.,Saturday, February 19, 1977. We took our positions along Avenue of the Cascades, precisely where theRainiers would appear at the height of their run-through. Some old-time tavern guzzlers tried to push usback among the green-beers, but we held our ground. (Pic A) Then the Rainiers arrived in a rush, and itwas too late to do anything but run.with them. Austin (at X) had his camera along, but he quickly realizedthe inadvisability of stopping to snap pictures. I grasped the traditional long-cup (marked by Y) to catchany Mountain Fresh run-offen route. (Pic B) The groves of academe certainly proved tame by comparison.Almost immediately, some other bottles moved in behind us â€” their apparent intention to "cap" a few ofthe spectators along one wall. Austin (again at X) began to show signs of worry, but I was too busyascertaining that one cannot run well backwards. (Pic C) Then we were in the thick of it. While Austinpeered down the neck of 90 gallons on the hoof, I searched for a way out. But as my Philosophy ofEngineering 201 professor was wont to say, "A man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a machinefor?" (Pic D) One second after this, we both went under. Getting sloshed, however, really wasn't as I hadanticipated. It seems that Rainiers really are fresh and friendly. I suppose if Austin and I were to visit theNorthwest a second time, we might choose to run again. Since our return to Princeton, our fellowstudents have persisted in asking us to explain the Running of the Rainiers â€” the fascination of man and liquid beast for this annual spring occurrence. In all honesty, I have no theory beyond the apparentnatural affinity of the Rainiers and their beer aficionados!' -Hamilton R. McMillan, Class of 77 j Whatmakes the Rainiers run?

Dear Mr. Simpson;What is the purpose of going to college? Most of us probably feel that the purpose is to obtain aneducation. In order to obtain this education it is necessary to study, often using the facilities oi' theLibrary. Activities also are important. The importance of learning to live with others in the dorms orhouses cannot be denied either. Part of this living together is the attendance of house meetings. Doesthis mean that house meetings should come before studies? I think not. It does not seem right, therefore, to impose a punishment on a person who was studying at the Library just because this person misseda house meeting. This happened to a girl at Edens Hall. She had not come in later than the regularclosing hours of 10:45 pirn. She had done nothing unbecoming to a lady. Her studying instead ofattending the house meeting drew her the severe punishment of nine campuses. Punishment forstudying is a violation of the purpose of college, and is unfair. Perhaps other readers might have some comments on this situation. Sincerely, Elva Naff (Ed. Note) Amen. I'm on your side. To The Editor;Judging from Homecoming Skit Night's primitive exhibition, am I to be led to believe that Americanhumor has descended into a morbid state of unhealthy degradation? Or has American humor alwaysbeen sick? The seeming inability of the audience to discern between the decent joke and the crudeone was a most disappointing observation. Shall I bring the news back home to the Philippines thatAmerica is the "Trail's End"? Perhaps we need more people like Jerome Glass who can lift us to ahigher level of culture, and less pipe-smoking Ivy Leaguers who with their constant wailing and moaningdrag innocent tribal natives with them. Sincerely, Myrna Gill Homecoming was a great success lastweek! There was more planning put into that one week than for any activity last year. I have never seenso many activities coordinated and operated with so few problems. I think that Jerry Caton and KarenJohnson deserve a personal word from each ot you. Many people have approached me in the past weekor so, which if nothing else, proves that the space in the paper is not going to waste en total. It must besaid that most of those people are either on one side or the other, and very few don't care for a marchingbaiid. The only people against the issue seem to be the band members and their affiliated groups. I'mstill looking for your comments in a letter. How many of you saw the parade on Saturday? If you are oneof those who noticed the floats as they went by, you undoubtly saw the winning float by the sophomoreclass. This entry was a covered wagon built out of tin foil that had a rather professional look about it. It has always been thought, at least in this quarter, that the floats were to be limited in cost and built byamateurs. From the unconfirmed rumors echoing about, it would seem that this work was insured for$2000 and would not have been taken out in the rain. Perhaps I was misinformed. If not, it may benecessary to issue rules limiting the amount of monies to be used in the construction of floats. Nextweek is National Education Week and there are going to be big doings on campus. Among the benefits of the week's activities will be a little quiz to enable the student to find out what his T.Q. is.

Page 2WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 4, 1960 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1960 November 4 - Page 3 ---------- Editorial SCIENCE BUILDING Something Missing Many visitors and passers-by of our campus look inawe and admiration at our massive and impressive new Haggard Hall of Science. Outwardly it is beautifuland graceful in spite of its massive size. But inwardly something is missing. The Building is well-equipped, and strides are being made to make it even more so. A planetarium is being worked on, andbefore too long the structure will contain a seismograph. The classrooms are comfortable and well-lighted. But still something is missing. Walking in the halls or sitting in class, a student can't help but feel asthough he were in a bomb shelter, or a prison at best. The dark-grayish walls, ceilings, floors andstairwells give a depressing atmosphere to an otherwise splendid new building. I realize that atmosphere is less important than adequate facilities. I also realize the great cost of painting the majority of thisbarren, empty interior. I could understand not painting the interior for a year or two due to limited finances. However, to postpone this project indefinitely would be a great mistake. And I understand that no plansare being made for future painting. We have a wonderful building. Why not make it even more wonderful?Science is cold and hard as it is, without having a cold, hard atmosphere. I'm sure I speak for the majority of the students when I appeal for something to be done to liven up the interior of our wonderful newScience Building. Next Tuesday is election day, and it is important for those of you eligibles to exerciseyour voting privilege. Government cannot be representative unless each individual makes it so. TheCollegian is supporting the local Civic Field issue. All of you have by now seen Bel ingham's best facilityfor football, that ancient, weather-beaten, mud-bogged, Battersby Field. Last year (the Civic Fieldproposal would have passed had all the College eligibles voted. It lost by a scant 50 votes. Let's notmake the same mistake this year that we made last year. Vote! (Ed. Noteâ€” Several letters came in toolate for publication, and will not be used until the next issue on Nov. 16. Monday at 5 p. m. is the absolute deadline for letters.) CIVIC FIELD RALLY Eill Zagelow and Gary Norman have been appointed co-chairmen of the Norsemen sponsored Civic Field rally, Monday, Nov. 7. The rally, to be conductedthroughout the city of Bellingham, will serve as a reminder to the voters of Bellingham to vote lor theCivic Field proposal. All clubs on campus have been invited to take part by the Norsemen, who areacting as organizers only. The rally will begin at 7 p.m. in front of the Industrial Arts Building and willproceed downtown with a police escort. "Both Bellingham and Western will profit by a Civic Field,"stated Zagelow, "and a strong showing by the College will show the people of Bellingham thatWestern is willing to help out in this respect." All interested persons are urged to contact one of theoificers of the Norsemen Club or leave their names with the Dean of Men.

D'Andrea's stand comes as a result oi. the recentLegislature battle with Jerome Glass on the marching band de-emphasis program, started at the adventof Dr. Jarrett's administration last year. When asked to comment on the program Glass replied, "I feelthat I would be asking entirely too much of the band members to require that they spend five to ten hours every week drilling for halftime entertainment, when they could be spending that time furthering theirown musical ability." "Not only does a marching band require time," Glass continued, "but it isexpensive." As to the expense, it was found that the greatest single cost incurred by the band in thepast has been the purchase and maintenance of uniforms, which are only used four or five times eachyear, according to D'Andrea. There has been a good deal of furor raised about "The Letter" which Glasswas supposed to have written to all the local high schools telling them that Western would not participate in any of their functions, because we (Western) no longer had a marching band. According to Glass,this is not so. "I wrote only one letter and that was to the Band Chairman for the Bellingham BlossomFestival informing him that we would no longer have a marching band at Western, and that we wouldnot actively participate in the parade." Later Glass offered direct services, "as the band would be morethan happy to play as a concert band." Extra-Curricular Activities It happened that the man who waschairman of the bands Cor the Blossom Festival, is also the man in charge of all the Bellingham Public School's music curriculum, Dr. Clifford Leedy. When asked by the Homecoming committee to marchin the parade, Leedy refused on the grounds that he felt it would be a detriment to the marching bandpolicy at Western, and Glass, if he accepted. Leedy had a different viewpoint on marching bands, "I don't know how it is in college, but we have different phases of curriculm to take care of in high Page 4school. The regular curriculm is the concert band, which gives a public recital once every year. Themarching band makes up the greater part of the extra-curricular activities." For precision drills, Leedysaid, the band spends one hour every day practicing for a period of two to three weeks before an event.This is a total of ten or fifteen hours of drill which manifests itself in ten minutes of slopping about on thesoggy turf at Battersby Bog for the amusement of a few fans who are more concerned with staying drythan with watching halftime entertainment. This is not to say that Leedy should not have a marchingband. Rather, it brings up the question, do the results prove worthwhile? It would be proper to here tosample the opinions of those who are involved. Commented Dr. Jarrett; "I've taken the position that theexcessive re-hersal time required is not worth the results." From Band Director Glass: "We have neverrefused to play for any high school or college function as a concert band. But aside from immediatecollege activity (such as Homecoming) we do not have a marching band." Dr. D'Andrea: "It is thefunction of the halftime show to satisfy the students. We try to do this with as little time, and damageto equipment, as possible." Said Dr. Leedy; "The marching band is certainly one of the most effectivepublic relations devices a school can have." The Legislature: "Everybody else has one, why can't wehave one too?" HOMECOMING The Western Roundup will go down in Western history as one of theschool's finest Homecomings. "This has been the best Homecoming in my four years here," commentedone Western senior. A 'Western' Legend A iScene From Skit Night The Queen's Ball last Saturdaynight was the climax to a flurry of activities. Steve Loughery provided soft music as well as some oi therompingest, stompingest music heard in this area in a long time to the transient crowd of students,royalty and faculty in the Gym. The College Dance Band played its usual fine brand of music in theViking- Union. Announced at each dance were the winners for the various competitive activities. DanielsHall won the award for the best men's house display for the. third consecutive year with an array ofcartoon characters reacting to a Bayview's Winning House Display WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN November 4, 1960 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1960 November 4 - Page 5 ---------- Burma Shave slogan. Bay vie w had the best girl's house display with its "Up Down Saloon." A "wishy-washy" commercial in a satire about television earned Todd Hall the award for the best skit. Bob'ssinging and Jim's piano playing enabled the Brown brothers to win the best in-between act at SkitNight. Announced at Skit Night were the winners of the beard-growing contest. Cal Graham and DuaneOlson were the fellows with the finest fuzz. The sophomore class won two honors by having thebest float and the best window display. The float was a covered wagon drawn by four paper machehorses. Kluane Hall had the best decorated car. Barbara Logsdon, lovely Queen Sig-rid XXIII, wasgraceful in the traditional dance with President Jarrett. She and her Royal Court concluded thefabulous weekend with the Last Roundup, after which the Western Roundup became a Western legend.AVERILL HARRIMAN Democratic Mudslinger by Frosty Billingsley The auditorium was packed lastTuesday with anticipant listeners intent on hearing the words of the ex-governor of New York, AverillHarri-man. Whatever it was all those people were waiting to hear from this noted personage, I don't thinkthey heard it. Instead they heard sarcastic generalities which seemed to this reporter to bedesigned for a political rally composed of high school reactionists. Perhaps it couldn't even qualify asa political rally. At a function of that sort, the party sponsoring the rally usually presents its plans andstands, and gives an intelligent, reasonable look at the failings of the opposing factor. This wassomething different. What the honorable Mr. Harriman presented was a Democratic mud-sling at theRepublican nominees, the present administration and the Republican Party in general. Mr.Harriman stated, "Unhappily, we have lost the image abroad of a nation that is interested in people. Wehave been demanding military alliances and the use of bases. It's 'what's in it for us militarily?' We areagainst Communism, but we haven't made it plain what we are lor." I would think that this comment could have been amplified during the course of the speech, but it wasn't. I still November 4, 1960 "KennedyLooks Forward" don't know what "we are for" or what Mr. Harriman's faction is for. "Lodge . . . ATelevision Star" I do know however that "our impartial correspondents have reported from abroad thedecline everywhere in our prestige," and that "There is no doubt that this (devastation and dislocationcaused by war) would have happened, had it not been for our (Democratic) inspired leadership in theMarshall Plan," and that "Nixon claims to be an expert on foreign affairs just because he had a kitchen debate with Khruschev," and that "Mr. Lodge is a nice fellow, but he's a television star . . . " (whateverstain on a man's character this implies). For one, I should like to have Mr. Harriman back for anotherspeech to elaborate on the only truly positive statement he made all evening, "Mr. Kennedy looksforward." AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK American Education Week will be observed the week of Nov. 7-12, with three lectures slated for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and several discussions andmovies also planned. Jim Boyles, President of Student Washington Education Association, announcedthat Dr. Jarrett will be the first speaker Monday at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union. His topic will be "Religion and Higher Education". Mr. Roy Mumme of the Education Department will speak later in the week. A series ofi movies during the week will deal with the aspects of education, with showings in the morningsand afternoons followed by discussions. : The five organizations which are sponsoring the week'sactivities are SWEA, the Association for Children's Education (ACE), Music Educator's WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN National Committee (MENC), Kappa Delta Pi and United Campus Christian Foundation. The first four are pre-professional student organizations designed especially for teachereducation students. SWEA is the future teacher's professional group. It assumes responsibilityfor improving the quality of tomorrow's teachers by offering opportunities to learn about problems andchallenges in the field of teaching, as well as the ethical and legal responsibilities of teachers. Oneprogram planned for January will be a mock placement interview, which could be invaluable to manystudents who fear such interviews. The Western chapter, which was awarded a trophy as the topchapter in the state last year, will send eleven delegates to the regional conference tomorrow in Seattle.^ ACE, geared for working with children from ages two to 12, has planned â€žne topic "The Child andthe Com munity" for this year's programs. Among the activities offered to college students are practice in preparing units in drama, reading, arts and crafts, music or games, or directing a unit of activities inany of a number of youth clubs here in town. MENC offers valuable programs for anyone interested inmusic education. Membership in the club provides opportunity for an active part in planning andoperating music festivals and contests as well as providing vital experience for aspiring music teachers.Kappa Delta Pi is a national honor society for education majors. Membership in the club requires athree-point gpa and is invitational. The club offers recognition for scholastic achievement as well assupplementing the teacher preparation program with further consideration of the teaching profession.STUDENT RECITAL The first of a series of student recitals under the auspices of the MusicDepartment is scheduled for 3 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 9 in the Viking Lounge. Performers to bepresented are soprano, Carolyn Fichter accompanied by Sheila Simpson; pianist, Beverly Carr; anda violin duo composed or Sally Cooper and Linda Lawson accompanied by Sharon Minge. This newcampus facility provides an ideal setting for the informal presentation of students for whom thisexperience is an integral part of their training.

The clash at Ellensburg will see the Viks try to spoil the Homecoming festivities of the 'Cats. This will also be a return match as the two clubs met earlier thisseason in Bellingham, with CWC coming out on the long end of a 19 to 3 count. every game. Last week, 3000 people saw evidence of this. With 24 seconds left in a tie ballgame, WWC quarterback SteveHansen faded back and fired a 34 yard strike to freshman halfback Roger Schmidt for the winning TDand a 13 to 7 victory over the Eastern Washington Savages. The game, until that point, had been adefensive battle between the two teams. Offensively, WWC dominated the first half while Eastern tookcharge in the third stanza. The fourth quarter was a standoff for 14 minutes Ladines garners 8 yards asRingenbach blocks Coach Abe Poffenroth's charges run from the multiple offense, using variations off the T and single wing from an unbalanced line. Their all-everything back, sophomore Harvey Rath, is justabout as big an offensive threat as is found anywhere in the Northwest. Running from the tailback sloton the single wing formations, Rath shines on the power sweeps with an occasional running pass.Rebounding from a first game loss, Central began to pick up steam. They knocked over three opponents,including Western, but were suprisingly upended last week by PLU. Obviously the Wildcats will befired up and eager to make their Homecoming a complete success with a victory over the Viks. ViksImproving Every Game However, Jim Lounsberry's Vikings are going to be out in full force to get sweetrevenge for their earlier loss to Central. The Viks, becoming more and more familiar with Lounsberry'sofiense, have been improving and 36 seconds until the big payoff. Almost all the Viks had their moments to shine on defense. Ron Ladines, Leland Wolf, Mike McVay, Roland Siggs and Jerry Beringer allturned in crunching tackles at one time or another. Steve Hansen accounted for both touchdowns as healso hit Doug Ringenbach in the end zone Cor six points. Ladines, Leroy Fuller and especially littleDale Johansen all ran very well from their backfield slots. "It was a sweet win." RUGBY Rugby Clubdrops 1st game by Ray Devier Last Saturday afternoon the Western Washington ruggers sufferedtheir first defeat at the hands of the UBC Physical Education team by the score of 8 to 3. The defeat, inthe words of Al Mathieson, player-coach, was due to the fact that "the team still lacks unity in its rugbyfundamentals." Experience was the major factor according to Mathieson. For the Viks, Gary Tangen scored the lone try. This week the Viks have been busy as they prepare to meet the Mara-loma RugbyClub, last year's second division champions. The representatives of this club later placed second inlast spring's California tourney. The game will be played in Bellingham at the Shuksan Junior HighSchool playfield at 1:30 p.m. SWIMMING Intramurals to begin All interested swimmers are invited toparticipate in the annual Intramural Swim Meet, which will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9 in theCollege Pool. If you are unable to form a six man team but would like to participate, leave your name with the secretary in the Physical Education Building. All entries must be in by Nov. 7. The eventsincluded in the meet are the free style, backstroke, breast-stroke, butterfly, individual medley, free stylerelay, and diving. These events are for both boys and girls.

Swine flu is a respiratory disease that causes symptoms similar to the seasonal flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, , body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Swine flu can also cause people to be more susceptible to other diseases, such as pneumonia. Dr. Emily Gibson, director of West-" ern's Student Health Center, said the health center has conducted rapid tests for more than 100 cases of flu-like symptoms, but all of the tests "came back negative. "They are coming in with classic flu symptoms," Gibson said7"But it is another virus, and is not something that is out of the ordinary for this time of year." Gibson said nurses are available by phone at the health center 24 hours a day for those who think they might be infected. The nurses ask callers to describe their symptoms and then determine if they need to come in for a test or to see a doctor. To minimize waiting time, the health center is encouraging students to call prior to coming in, unless it is an emergency. She. said if someone tests positive for swine flu, he or she would be quarantined and asked to avoid being on campus so they would not be in.contact with other people.

TUITION INCREASE Bleak outlook for student finances Jenny Farrington THE WESTERN FRONT Western students and Associated Students (AS) Board Members are concerned about future financial difficulties for students after the state legislature's recent approval of increasing Washington state universities yearly tuition cap to 14 percent for the 2009-11 academic years, AS President Erik Lowe said. The increase in tuition is designed to help Western offset the state's decision to cut its operating budget by $17.5 million. If Western's Board of Trustees approves the increase, students should expect to pay an extra $600 each academic year. "I mostly rely on financial aid," Western junior Glaire Russell said. "A lot of my tuition money also comes from grants. I haven't had to take out any loans yet, but now I will probably have to." The AS board tried to maintain the 7 percent tuition increase, AS legislative liaison Morgan Holmgren said. "The 14 percent increase is tied with the largest in the past decade," Holmgren said. "This dramatic increase will force more students to take out larger loans, and more students will have significantly higher debts." ' In 2002, the Board of Trustees voted to adopt the president's university op see INCREASE page 3 mmmm Western purchases energy certificates to create 'green1 production in Iowa Anne Maertens THE WESTERN FRONT Western has completed the purchase of its first 10,000 renewable energy certificates from its new provider, the EarthEra Renewable Energy trust, a part of NextEra Energy Resources. Western buys the certificates, which support "green" energy, to offset greenhouse gases emitted from its electrical use. In total, Western will purchase 40,000 certificates, which are optional, in 2009, totaling $140,000. The certificates are paid for through Western's $7 Renewable Green Energy Student Fee, one of the many fees of a full-time student. The certificates represent the difference in the cost of producing renewable energy versus the cost of traditional energy productioni like coal, said Ron Bailey, operations support manager at Western. Each certificate equates to one megawatt- hour of electricity produced. While Western will continue to purchase all of its electricity from Puget Sound Energy, they will spend an additional amount of money in certificates to support EarthEra's Endeavor Wind Farm in Iowa. For EarthEra, the excess cost for one certificate, or one megawatt-hour of electricity produced is $3.50, Bailey said.

News Briefs compiled by Elizabeth Hanson and Megan Jonas Western estimates reducing 164 jobs Western President Bruce Shepard released a draft of the operating budget for the 2009-2011 biennium Wednesday that projected 164 employee positions will be eliminated due to the $18.9 million reduction in Western's operating budget. The impact of the decision will be lessened by cutting vacant positions first and by trying to find other positions at Western for some employees whose positions will be eliminated. Still, Shepard estimates 40 people whose contracts expire at the end of the academic year will not be re- hired and 25 additional people will have to be laid off.

Currently, the average student at Western owes roughly $18,000 in financial aid debt upon graduation. With the 14 percent tuition increase, students could expect to graduate between $23,000 and $25,000 in debt, Holmgren said. "I'm going to be affected because this is my last year being supported by my parents," Western junior Amanda Waugh said. "So it's definitely not the perfect time for the increase, and I just don't know if financial aid will cover all of my costs." While this dramatic increase in tuition is upsetting to many students, some understand the reasoning behind it, Holmgren said. "I understand the college doesn't really have a choice," Western junior Andrew Bethman said. "I'm just glad I'm go-ing to graduate next year. I've been taking 20 credits every quarter to get out of here as fast as lean." With the tuition increase, diversity in Western's student body could also be impacted, Lowe said. "People who are going to be the most affected by the increase in tuition are students of color, first-generation college students and students from low-income backgrounds," Lowe said. Essentially, the university is going to shut out those people they are supposed to be serving as an institution, Lowe said. "It's upsetting because the economy is going downhill, and I don't have the money to pay for this even though it's necessary," Western senior Sharon LeB-eau said. "It's hard to have to think about ture; we need people in office who realize the value of higher education. "No one cares about the future educa- " I understand the college doesn't really have a choice. I'm just glad I'm going to graduate next year. I've been taking 20 credits every quarter to get out of here as fast as I can. paying more when we just don't have the money." . Lowe said the tuition increase is a result of the crisis in leadership the students have when it comes to the state legisla- - Western junior Andrew Bethman tion of the state. It all boils down to getting re-elected, and no one is holding them accountable," Lowe said. "We did the best we could as students. We need a legislature who understands the importance of photo illustration by Brandon Kays THE WESTERN FRONT higher education." When things get bad economically, education is the first thing to get cut, Lowe said. "The university doesn't have a choice; we are past the point where we can advocate for more money," Lowe said. Most students will see the value of higher education and will end up crippling themselves getting that education, Lowe said. However, making that choice ends up having some negative costs after graduation that many students are unable to anticipate now, Lowe said. "Some will say 'I can't afford.it,' but more will put themselves in that debt," Lowe said. "This means it will take them longer to afford homes, start families and people will be taking jobs that pay the bills rather than finding that job that's important and meaningful to them." Western freshman Patrick Shelton is a first-generation college student and said the tuition increase seems unfair. "My family and I didn't even really know what we were getting ourselves into with this tuition increase," Shelton said. "It's just going to make it even harder on us now with me having to take out more loans." However, Lowe said there is a silver lining and learning opportunity with the tuition increase. "Students need to realize how important it is to be knowledgeable of and participate in state politics," Lowe said. "Relatively few people participate, and the result is a situation like this where the legislature is not held accountable and everybody suffers." NOW PRE-IEASING FOR FALL QUARTER!!!

By supporting a wind farm in Iowa, Western is chipping away at the overall production of non-renewable energy. Producing wind power creates a lower demand for coal, which is the main energy generator used in Iowa, Bailey said. Bailey said Iowa is in greater need for green energy production than Washington because the Pacific Northwest predominately uses hydropower, which produces significantly less greenhouse gas than coal. "The general belief within the scientific community is that greenhouse gases cause climate change, and it is necessary to take steps to reduce [the gases] in order to stop the change," said Rose Woofen-den, president of Students for Renewable Energy. Influencing a region of the United States in need of cleaner production was one of the criteria considered by a panel made up of Students for Renewable Energy, faculty and staff when they evaluated the nine possible certificate .providers, Bailey said. The panel used a formula developed by Western economics professor Dan Hagen to analyze the companies. It determined that EarthEra had the greatest greenhouse gas offset while costing $100,000 less than PSE, Bailey said. "The formula is unique to Western and unique to the whole process," Bailey said. "We came out with a method to purchase [certificates] based on their environmental attributes." The local environmental impact, negative or positive, created by the facility, was another determining factor. A wind Eckankar presents !!!!Â§ Satutclay afternoon sessibn is FREE fop ^; tKeentire Weekend. farm in the middle of a farmer's field will have a different environmental impact than a wind farm in the middle of a city, Bailey said. Finally, the panel wanted to support "additionality," which means Western's financial support will help the certificate provider go beyond its normal development and create more green energy through wind or solar power, he said. Not only was the decision to use EarthEra unanimous, Woofenden said she was pleased with the process as a whole and hopes to improve the process further over the years. Students had a say in nearly 60 percent of the decision. "They came to us and said, 'You're the students, how would you like to do things?'" Woofenden said. "This is our future, our money, and they were here to assist us, which we really appreciated." Many schools in the U.S. buy certificates to offset their environmental impacts, said Blaine Collison, director of Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Challenge. Holding the most certificates out of the nine schools in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, the EPA has recognized Western.as an individual conference champion in its 2008-09 College and University Green Power Challenge. The challenge uses athletic conferences as a means of comparison because . the conferences usually contain colleges of similar size, Collison said. It highlights pockets of leadership to encourage other schools to join in and help create more demand for green energy, he said. "We're trying to leverage the demand side of the market in order to stimulate the supply side," Collison said. "We want to show producers that people care about where their energy comes from." pfctocpurtesyof University Communications These solar panels are located on top of Western's Viking Union, they are examples of Western's efforts to use green energy to reduce its carbon footprint and help the world by using power sources that produce less greenhouse gas than other energy sources, such as coal. ---------- Page 5 ---------- westernfrontonline.net I Friday â€¢ May 8,2009 NEWS I 5 Huxley professor gauges demand in energy major Tristan Hiegler THE WESTERN FRONT When Western professor Andy Bunn checked the sign- up for his energy and the environment course during winter quarter, he noticed the. class filled up within the first couple minutes of registration. The demand from Western students for a renewable energy program is over* whelming, Bunn said. The few classes offered in the department of environmental science that are focused on energy have filled up immediately, he said. Bunn, an assistant professor of environmental science,.is working to introduce a renewable energy major. He said the project is still in the works, but he is optimistic about its eventual success. Western junior Casey Pape has designed his own environmental science major at the Huxley College of the Environment with the emphasis on energy. He said he was surprised at the lack of an energy curriculum, but remained hopeful about the progress the creation of such a curriculum could bring. "In my opinion, it's a way to bridge a lot of gaps and to tie a lot of departments together," Pape said.' Bunn said the major would combine teaching science, policy and business. He said the major would draw on these elements to turn students into professionals well suited to work in the current renewable energy field. "We're trying to.build a program to span the range," he said. Western alumnus Orion Polinsky said when he attended Huxley in 2008, no comprehensive curriculum existed in. renewable energy. As a student interested in the field as a potential career path, he had to design his own major. He said he would like; to see the process streamlined for.future students interested in the field. â€¢T wish they had it when I was going to school," he said. v : Polinsky is currently the co-founder and director of research at Whole Energy Fuels Corporation, which produces biod^ iesel'for the Pacific Northwest. He said there is a definite need for a streamlined training process on renewable energy both in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Bradley Smith, dean of Huxley College of the Environment, said he thinks the world needs leaders in therenewable energy field. The creation of the major would involve bringing together the needed expertise and packaging and reshaping photo by Katie Greene THE WESTERN FRONT Huxley environmental science associate professor Andy Bunn is working to create a renewable energy major at Western. Bunn said a course program on renewable energy would bring together science,, policy and business. it into the knowledge and training that the world needs in the field right now, he said. Smith said the feedback for the program from the administration, faculty and students has been positive. "This is an area in which Western could be a leader," he said. Western senior Tyler Llewellyn said Western's involvement in the emerging renewable energy field would help the university expand its reputation as a sustainable campus and bring in new students and faculty from across the nation. Llewellyn, who will be going to the University of Washington for a master's degree in environmental science, said students would benefit from an interdisciplinary renewable energy major because it would give them the scientific, engineering, policy and business knowledge they would need to be successful in the field. Bunn said the program is still a few steps away from actually being created, because many steps at the university level and the state level are needed before getting a major approved. Demonstrating the need for the major and acquiring funding are two of the most important steps. Bunn said the need has been identified, but the tricky part will be to get funding for the program. Bunn said the next step is to create a workshop over the summer during which renewable energy professionals who would visit to the university. These professionals would study the current curriculum and how it can be synthesized into something complete. He said they will be looking at the holes in the current curriculum and work to build a complete energy curriculum from the ground up.. "There's a lot out there, what we need to do is to focus it," he said.' President Barack Obama has pledged to triple production of renewable energy in the next three years, Bunn said. The stimulus bill contains more than $30 billion for renewable energy. Much of the development will take place in the Pacific Northwest, andthe area does not have the work force to meet the expected demand yet, he said. In addition to the work on the renewable energy major, Western is addressing sustainability in several other ways. Seth Vidana, coordinator for Western's Office of Sustainability, said the office is campaigning to reduce electricity, water and natural gas consumption and solid waste production on campus. The effort is called the 10x10 Campaign, which aims to reduce consumption and production by 10 percent by the end of 2010. "Sustainability takes the long view," Vidana said. "Our investments now can reap significant benefits for this year's budget and for years to come." The renewable energy major would train students in clean energy practices. Western already cuts the impact of its greenhouse gas emissions and electrical consumption by buying Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): Ron Bailey, operations support manager with Western's Facilities Management, said the university switched to a new provider, NextEra Energy Resources, in January. RECs are certificates the university buys that allow the provider to put back into the power grid the amount of energy Western uses, all from renewable sources. Currently, the RECs are used for a wind farm in Iowa. Western buys enough RECs to fund the wind farm, which contributes the same amount of electricity Western draws from the Washington power grid to the Iowa power grid. Bailey said the certificates do not mean Western is powering itself with renewable energy but is neutralizing its impact on the environment by funding a pro-cess* that gives back what it takes in terms of power.

She said it is possible for swine flu to transmit from animals to humans, but it is specifically successful at transferring between humans. Swine flu can be spread by germs released from coughing or sneezing- Western senior Laura Binder said she is constantly in contact with other people as she works the front desk at the Wade King Student Recreation Center. "It is.definitely a little scary," Binder said. "But, I think it is a normal flu epidemic that's.been-blown out of proportion." According to the Centers'for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an average of 36,000 people die from the seasonal flu each year, whereas only two swine flu-related deaths have occurred in the U.S., compared to 42 in Mexico. Gibson said the first swine flu-related death in the U.S. was a toddler from Mexico whose family was visiting Texas. The second death was a 33-year-old woman who lived in Texas near the U.S.Mexico border. "We don't know why Mexico had all the deaths, but it certainly put everyone on notice that this could be a more virulent virus," Gibson said. The CDC has confirmed 23 cases of swine flu in Washington; the total number of states with confirmed cases is now 41.

As of May 7, there are 896 confirmed cases of swine flu in the U.S., according to a CDC update. "Swine flu is the most overblown, ridiculous paranoia," Western freshman Darren Veit said. "The public just goes crazy over what the media hypes up." Western freshman Drew Plommer said he is not worried about swine flu because it has not yet affected him personally here at Western. - None-the-less, Binder said she is concerned about getting sick and is washing her hands more often to try and stay healthy. Gibson said it does not take much to prevent infection of swine flu and seasonal flu. Currently, no specific vaccine exists for swine flu, but she strongly encourages students to get the seasonal flu vaccine because seasonal flu is also dangerous, she said. Another prevention method for swine flu and seasonal flu is the use of face masks. However, Gibson said while the masks are ineffective for people who are not sick, it is important for people who are coughing or sneezing to wear a mask. But she said the best prevention is what we doourselvesbystaying heajthy in general. y^^^^^g^^gj^^g^^^^^M _. ixfiksKKiii D I P H OTDTI m WARNING: ALL PATRDN5 DF CDSMIC BiNGD ARE ENCDURAGED TO BE LOUD.

The study shows that 92 percent of recent college graduates have at least one credit card and carry an average outstanding balance of $8,612, up 10 percent from 2003. Because of such a growing concern, Western will offer Finance 215, a three-credit course designed to give students a basic understanding of their finances this summer. This is the first time Western has offered this class since spring 2007. The summer course became necessary in response to a survey showing Western students lack understanding of major personal finance concepts, said Pam Hall, associate professor of finance and marketing. "Arm yourself with knowledge," Hall said. "Know what you're getting into when you borrow money." Last fall, four Western students conducted a survey for a marketing class with the goa^ of educating students on how to manage debt. Western alumnus Spencer Covich, along with three Western seniors, presented their findings.April 16 to Washington Sen. Patty Murray on their Financial Literacy Project survey. The survey results, which will be submitted to a financial education journal, showed women scored significantly worse than men in every category, except for money management, where they out-scored men, Hall said. The worst category overall was retirement, followed closely by understanding debt. PamWhalley, director of the Economics Education Center, said it is becoming more vital for students to understand basic personal finance concepts because of the economy. Students can go wrong and fall victim to things in many ways, such as identity theft, which can result as simple as students neglecting to check their credit report regularly. "The demands that are being placed on people in regards to their financial knowledge are growing astronomically," she said. Whalley said she had to learn about money the hard way. College students need to understand leasing, renter's insurance, car insurance and choosing benefits in their first job. She said the most important thing students need to understand is credit. "Your credit record is your permanent record," Whalley said.

Hall . said she was appalled at the results and knew she had to offer the personal finance class again. . Hall said she helped students develop questions based on the survey's six broad categories: understanding debt, insurance, investing, money management, retirement and taxes. ; Hall said she wants to get the university to offer the class as a general university requirement (GUR). Of the nearly 1,70.0 students polled in the survey, 75 percent said they would be willing to take, the class as part of the GUR, Hall said. Covich said 97 percent of student participants said they believed personal finance was important to study. its, such as whether applicant's have paid their bills on time, which employers use as a measure of the candidate's character and reliability, he said. Hall said the class is geared toward non-finance majors and requires basic high school math skills including addition, subtraction and multiplication. "[Math] shouldn't be something that scares people away from taking it at all," Hall said. Topics covered include basic concepts, such as budgeting and how to select and appropriately use a credit card, to the different kinds of stock and what types of insurance a person needs, Hall said. The class is relevant and addresses financial goals from a personal standpoint instead of a corporate one, McClain said.

"They're not the only one who has screwed up a budget." * Hall said students will be asked to do a fair amount of critical thinking in the class, and students will calculate their budget and net worth, compare renting versus buying, find how inflation plays a role in their saving for retirement and evaluate different kinds of mortgages. Hall said she believes financial illiteracy is one of the factors that led to the current economic crisis. If people had a â€¢basic understanding of financial concepts, they could have made better informed decisions, she said. Money causes unnecessary stress in peoples' lives, and understanding basic financial concepts could reduce it, Hall said. "We had people taking out mortgages they couldn't afford," she said. "If they'd known they couldn't afford it, then they would have never done it." McClain said whether students take the class or not, they can educate themselves in" basic finance by simply picking up a book or magazine on personal finance at any local book store. Although, he said he thinks students would be doing themselves a favor by educating themselves now before they get too far down the road. gt; Whalley said she wants students to be informed so they can make smart decisions and avoid making preventable mistakes. "We're.not trying to make everyone hedge fund managers," she said. "We're just trying to give them the knowledge and skills they need."

White lines seem to stretch out forever. For a moment everything is silent except the hum of the engine in his white '97 Ford Explorer. Not even the sound of the Russian orchestral soundtrack CD inside his stereo can be heard, as he has grown tired of. hearing the same music everywhere he goes. The digital clock on the stereo reads 11:17 p.m., and Dizney knows he will need to be at Western's Old Main Theatre to teach Introduction to Acting at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, co-actor David Folsom has joined Dizney on the trip to Seattle, where Folsom plans to stay with his girlfriend. â€ž One hour before, Dizney and Folsom were bowing for.a small audience after performing Tony Award-winner Tracy Letts' adaptation of Anton Chekhov's classic play "Three Sisters" at the Artist's Repertory Theatre (ART) in Portland. Dizney plays the role of Lieutenant Colonel Vershinin and Folsom plays Lieutenant Tuzenbach, who is more often referred to as the Baron. The two characters are soldiers in the Russian army at the turn of the 20th century. "Three Sisters" highlights the fall of the Russian aristocracy at the turn of the 20th Century; the 14 central characters wrestle with a desire to find purpose through labor. Vershinin attempts to convince the frustrated and dissatisfied sisters that the future will be inherently rich with prosperity while the Baron claims working hard in the present is the only way their generation can find purpose. Directly following the performance on Sunday, May 3, two days before "Three Sisters" would open to the public, Dizney and Folsom embarked on the 260-mile drive from Portland back to Bellingham lasting from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. the next day. Fueled by roughly three hours of sleep,.Dizney walked into the Old Main Theatre Monday to teach Introduction to Acting at 8:30 a.m. Jon Kretzu, director of "Three Sisters" and associate executive director at ART, said despite having such a strenuous schedule Dizney has performed without reservations. "I know that it's a pain to have to go back and forth and teach and do a large role, but it just never showed up in rehearsal," Kretzu said. "That's exactly what you want from an actor who's, trying to juggle a million things." Kretzu said he came to Dizney with one of the play's leading roles because he knew Dizney's acting history and was confident in Dizney's ability to portray the strong, optimistic role of Vershinin. Kretzu cast Dizney in the world premier of Richard Kramer's comedy drama "Theatre District" at the ART three years earlier, Dizney said. Based on his work in that play, in addition to Dizney's previous performances, Kretzu decidedWinvite Dizney"'to play Vershinin Without an audition. "[Theater professors] have to practice their craft once in while,". Dizney said. "It's important to take myself out of the academic world sometimes." Since the start of spring quarter, Dizney has managed to juggle five days of acting with two days of teaching each week. Nevertheless, he said he kept his priorities in line from the start. "When I agreed to do 'Three Sisters' I told Jon [Kretzu] my primary obligation is with the university," Dizney said. "He heard me and agreed to make it work." Dizney said Kretzu was willing to help compensate his travel expenses since Western's theater department does not have the funds to support a professor's outside projects. Also, as a member of the Actor's Equity Association, a labor union that represents American actors, Dizney said the ART is required to provide housing for actors who live out of town. While rehearsing at the ART, Dizney has been staying in a third floor loft at Rosalie and Ed Tank's Victorian style home near Portland's famed Washington Park. Rosalie Tank has worked at the ART as its business manager for 25 years. After four and a half hours of driving, Dizney and Folsom pull into a driveway in Seattle's University District where Folsom's girlfriend, a grad student in the University of Washington's Professional Actor Training Program, lives.

"How could I expect to teach something like acting without continuing to do it myself?" Western senior Caleb Joslin, who has been Dizney's teaching assistant for the past year, said Dizney has managed to bring the same level of energy and vitality into the classroom this quarter as he has in the past. "He looks tired a lot but definitely makes it work," Joslin said. "It's been a pretty seamless melding of the two so far." Western theater department chair Deborah Currier- said she has always supported a professor's outside projects because [the projects] bring an extra element of strength to a department. During fall 2008, Dizney directed "36 Views," which was shown at Western's Performing Arts Center Main Stage, and during winter 2009 he directed "The Diviners" at the Bellingham Theatre Guild. . "It was a no-brainer to help [Dizney] work out a flexible schedule," Currier said. "We recognize these projects as part of the job because we don't want our faculty teaching in a vacuum." Dizney said teaching also plays a major role in his professional acting. He said he constantly checks his own acting in light of his teaching as well as the problems his students face as they learn the fundamentals of acting. This includes discovering the physical characteristics of a character or conveying that character's unique personality in a believable way. "WhenT'm teaching I constantly think about my own acting, and it becomes easier to break down problems I may be having on stage," Dizney said. "I ask myself, 'Am I practicing what I preach?' It's funny and scary at the same time." He said his students often provide the necessary pressure for him to critically assess his own problems in acting. "I never worry about what my parents or co-workers or friends might think when they see.me perform," Dizney said. "But when students come see a show it can be the most intimidating thing of all." After speaking with his colleagues at the ART, Dizney organized a group of five Western theater students to travel to Portland on May 29 and shadow a professional - whether it is a stage designer, costume designer or actor - as they work on a live performance. "Giving students the chance to shadow their counterparts for a week is the perfect way to offer first-hand training and professional connections," Dizney said. "This is something they wouldn't otherwise get in a typical classroom setting." Dizney is scheduled to perform two Wednesday matinees during the course of the show, which means he will need to miss classes and head to Portland on two separate occasions. He has arranged for Kretzu to teach two of his classes as well as host an auditioning workshop at 5 p.m., May 27, in the Old Main Theater. "When Patrick was telling me he had these classes that would be hard to get away from, Isaid, 'Well, I'll come teach your classes that day! No problem,'" Kretzu said. "I love Western, and this just seemed like the perfect little opportunity to get back up there and see some people I haven't seen in a while." Western theater professor Rich Brown will choose four students to audition and receive notes and critique from Kretzu. The workshop will be open to other students interested in watching Kretzu work.

She said regardless of the inevitable time management issues and the personal expenses of pursuing outside work, these projects can broaden the experience, foster a fresh eye and propagate a new perspective - not only for Western's theater professors, but for their students as well. Dizney said he would like to cultivate a strong relationship between Western's theater department and the ART so students can have more opportunities to meet and learn from professionals in their specific field. He said the ART is an accessible, appropriate fit for college-level actors in the Northwest because Bellingham does not offer professional theater opportunities. Seattle theaters tend to rely on more experienced actors, and the ART produces cutting edge plays and rely on local talent. ' "[ART] doesn't do crowd pleasers like 'RENT, they're a mid-level regional theater that doesn't have to appeal to a broad market," Dizney said. Back in Portland, the ART's green room is scattered with cast members, some half dressed and others in full costume and still others catching a few minutes of sleep before the show begins. Dizney walks toward the overcrowded dressing room as the stage manager walks in saying, "Half hour'til go, everybody. Half hour'til go." "It's a labor of love, man," Dizney says. "A labor of love." : ---------- Page 10 ---------- 10 I ARTS LIFE Friday â€¢ May 8,20091 The Western Front THE SECRET LIFE OF DINOSAURS EXPOSED Thomas Bennet THE WESTERN FRONT Visualize entering a museum with the the iconic skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex standing vigilantly, towering on its haunches, its tiny front arms curled in the main exhibition hall. Its jaws wide as it appears to lunge for the skeleton of a nearby brontosaurus. However, many museum visitors do not realize that their ideas of what dinosaurs looked like are wrong. The T-Rex was not an upright savage and the brontosaurus is not even a real dinosaur; both have been misnamed and misshapen by scientists for almost 80 years. Students and community members were given a look into the past Tuesday at Bellingham Gity Council chambers when Western geology professor Thor Hansen gave a lecture titled "The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs." In his lecture, Hansen discussed new discoveries in the fossil record and presented new theories about dinosaurs and their behavior, such as how they walked, based on the new discoveries. Hansen said the title of the lecture was meant to be provocative. He said the bones do not give enough information to be able to know how dinosaurs acted, but bones do provide enough clues to make some assumptions based on the behaviors of modern-day animals. "The life of dinosaurs really is a secret," Hansen said. "Anything we think we know about behavior is all based on guess work." Many of the most commonly recognizable dinosaurs, such as the long-necked sauropod the brachiosaurus, the T-Rex and the velociraptor, have been misrepresented by artists and Hollywood blockbusters, Hansen said. For example, Hansen said the brachiosaurus, with its neck held high, tail dragging and legs wobbling under its immense weight is the most commonly misrepresented dinosaur. Hansen said since a dinosaur would leave footprints and tail marks at the same time, the tail marks would have been equally preserved alongside the footprints. - "When we find the tracks of the brachiosaurus, we never find tail drag marks," Hansen said. "They probably walked more like elephants than anything else." Not only were the drooping tails a huge error, but the tall, vertical neck was also the creation of a misinformed sketch artist, Hansen said. "When computer models of the sauropod bones were made, scientists found that the joints in the neck couldn't bend that far," Hansen said. So ignore the sneezing brachiosaurus from the movie Jurassic Park and imagine an herbivorous giant with its neck and tail outstretched, almost parallel to the ground, grazing on low vegetation. Hansen said another dinosaur that has been misrepresented is the T-Rex. The museum skeletons of the king tyrant lizard have been morphed to fit human perceptions of the ancient reptile. "If you look closely at a museum reconstruction of a T-Rex skeleton, ypu will see that the tail has been broken for it to lay flat on the ground," Hansen said. "Like the sauropods, again there has been no tail drag marks associated with the T-Rex." In this case, Jurassic Park was, for the most part, accurate in portraying the physical appearance of the T-Rex as horizontal with a big, heavy tail being used to counterbalance a thick upper body over the dinosaur's hips. Hansen said one of the most surprising discoveries was an observation of velociraptors. Recent findings of pores in bone fossils, more complete skin impressions and .egg fossils suggest they may have had feathers. "The fact that these dinosaurs had feathers changes a lot of things," Hansen said. "It suggests that they may have been warm-blooded and further implies the links to modern birds." The offspring of the two-legged species of dinosaurs would have had soft, down-like feather for insulation purposes and would lose them as they got older and began to hunt on their own, Hansen said. Besides pop culture, Hansen said textbooks still publish inaccurate photos and even the Discovery Channel Web site uses the upright T-Rex pose for a children's coloring sheet. In addition to his geology classes, Hansen teaches a class called Geology 303, Dinosaurs and their Environments, which is dedicated to dinosaurs and their habitats. Western junior Lily Kahn, who is currently taking the class, said it has taught her a lot about dinosaurs that she never could have imagined were true. She said the most surprising thing was not the differences between dinosaurs and humans but the similarities. "It always seems like dinosaurs are totally alien to us," Kahn said. "But a lot of things haven't changed over the course of evolution, like their skeletal structures [which] are very similar to ours." ,. Hansen said there are more dinosaurs yet to be discovered by scientists.. "There are a few thousand named dinosaurs and about a half a million that actually lived," Hansen.said. "For every dinosaur species we find, there are 99 more that we haven't found." At the corner of State Ohio â€¢ Mon-Sat 6am to 2pm â€¢ Sun 8am to 2pm â€¢ 734-8687 Breakfast, and lunch served all doy!

A major component of the festival's influence over the years has been its annual Fine Arts Poster. ' " . . '. Western graduate and Seattle artist Warren Dykeman will have his art featured on the Fine Arts Poster at Bumbershoot this summer. Dykeman's art will be alongside famous artists, such as Modest Mouse, The All-American Rejects, Katy Perry, De La Soul and others. Various kinds of local art, such as dance, literary arts, theatre and film, are also on display at the festival. Bumbershoot is one of the largest music and urban arts festivals in the world; the festival gives praise to big-and small-name bands as well as local artists "We seek quality, original-art by any Seattle-area artist," Jennifer Orr, public relations manager for Bumbershoot, said. "We are proud to continue the legacy of supporting local artist and their outstanding work." Every year, a Seattle artist is chosen to feature his or her artwork on the Festival's Fine Arts Poster. This year, Dykeman's piece "Fullness" was chosen. Dykeman grew up in Kennewick, Wash, he said his art reflects his graphic design interest and is guided by folk and pop art. Dykeman lived just outside of the'Hanford Nuclear Reservation under the shadow of America's atomic ambitions. The Cold War era also influenced him during his youth and gave him inspiration as an artist, he said. "Western played a big part as far as shaping my interest in art," Dykeman said. "I initially came to Western with an interest in graphic design. Then I signed up for one of Ed Bereal's painting and drawing class. Once I started doing it, I was hooked." Dykeman said he started painting after college as a release from his full-time job doing design work. He said painting was a way he could do whatever he wanted after spending all day being directed by executives and clients. "I had a show in 2000 at the Roq La Rue gallery in Seattle, which is a pop surrealism/new contemporary art gallery," Dykeman said. "It featured some very dark work; as I look back at those paintings they were large and horrific. Everything I did turned out bad, and I am surprised I kept working at it." photo courtesy of Warren Dykeman "Fullness," a piece by Western design graduate Warren Dykeman was selected as the 2009 Fine Arts Posterior Bumbershoot, the annual Northwest arts and music festival. For more art visit Dykeman's Web site at www.warrendykeman.com. In 2004, Dykeman said he was invited to show in the BLK/MRKT One Group art show in Los Angeles. He worked a different style and played around with sumi ink, which is an Asian traditional ink made from soot, water and glue. He said his work drastically improved by trying different styles and he has been showing and selling ever since, he said. Dykeman's painting "Atomic Autobody" was on display at the BLVD Gallery in Seattle last November when One Reel, a Bumbershoot partner, contacted Dykeman about submitting a few works for the Fine Arts Poster. "I didn't do the painting with the poster in mind," Dykeman said. "I usually work on several paintings at once and ideas from one painting will flow to the next. My paintings influence my paintings." . Dykeman said he has a small TV in his studio that plays documentaries while he paints. Images and words will often come up that he will put in his paintings, he said. Dykeman also sketches images that interest him which he then scans on the computer. "One week I will be looking at an artist like Henry Darger, and the next, I will be obsessed with information graphics and letterforms," he said. "My inspiration changes every day." Dykeman's work draws upon elements of folk art, handmade sign lettering, digital art and collage. Dykeman said he uses a variety of materials and his work produces a rhythm between contour, color and mistake. Dykeman's art fits right into the qualifications applicants must have according to the Bumbershoot art application found on its official Web site, being work that is affordable, not yet sold and from an artist with a strong reputation as an "emerging artist." Dawn Cerny, the 2006 featured artist, submitted her piece titled "The Artful Scheme of Happiness," which was part of a series of silhouettes she cut originally for an installation piece. "The past Fine Arts Poster alumni are a really bad ass crew," Cerny said. "I feel like my reputation is enhanced greatly in Seattle after being featured on the poster." One Reei's Programming Department, with input from community advisers, selects art fo be displayed on the Fine Arts Poster and purchases the work with limited license to use it on the poster and a small number of T-shirts or other promotional items. "It's a really big deal and a great honor to be featured on the Fine Arts Poster, Cerny said. "Any artist should be proud."

Students from all over the state and nation flock to .the nationally-recognized, innovative college to take classes, such as folk music experience, introduction to script writing and social relationships and responsibility. Fairhaven's unique system of letting students design their own majors, tailoring them to their personal interests and aspirations and relying on detailed feedback instead of grades, gives students an opportunity .to expand their skills beyond the normal college experience. But these opportunities are in danger. Currently, Fairhaven serves approximately 425 students, and relies on a staff of only 21 professors. This is a feat, considering some departments on campus serve the same number of students with almost double the number of faculty. The Fairhaven faculty, have felt the squeeze of maxed-out space capacity. Two professors have been forced to use closets as offices arid other professors have had classes held in their offices due to a lack of available classrooms. Fairhaven was originally built in 1963 and rapidly grew in popularity. It was used as a model for The Evergreen State College in Olympia. After educators recognized Fairhaven's enormous potential to serve.students looking for an alternative college experience. Fairhaven also offers alternative learning experiences for students enrolled on the main campus. More than two-thirds of the students in the audio and video recording classes are students from other departments, only adding to the popularity of Fairhaven classes. Despite recent construction projects to expand and better serve Western students, Fairhaven has not been expanded in 46 years and no expansion plans are planned for the foreseeable future. The administration seems to be more. concerned with the waterfront expansion project and Miller Hall renovations than remodeling or expanding Fairhaven to Letters to the Editor: Western women keep radical bathroom discussion alive As many women at Western have noticed, due, perhaps, to Jaime Fife's editorial piece published in last week's issue of The Western Front, there is a forum of feminist (and not-so-feminist) discourse occurring in bathroom stalls across cam1 pus. While I appreciate Ms. Fife's contribution to the discussion, I feel that her piece missed the crucial components of why this conversation is so powerful. Since her article was published, the original comments in the Haggard Hall bathroom stall have been (for the most part) erased, though some still linger behind a thin coat of beige paint. What has replaced them seems to echo Fife's suggestion of "rotating pieces of butcher paper in bathrooms stalls" to accommodate the discussion. In black Sharpie, "Free Speech Board" is scrawled along the top of the door. Below, forced sentiments of sisterhood and "love yourself mantras abound. But no, it isn't a "Free Speech Board." Not at all. In fact, expressing yourself through bathroom prose is ILLEGAL. And that's the point. The real power of this forum of communication is the setting. In a multitude of ways, the act of writing a pro-woman statement post-urination is an act of empowerment and rebellion. How many of us have repressed memories of middle school lunches spent huddling in a bathroom stall, waiting out the agonizing period Of social awkwardness? For many, the bathroom stall has been a place to hide from feelings of inadequacy and adolescent embarrassments. With this history (for the most part) behind us, we are now using this place as an arena of empowerment. And, in my opinion, there is no better place. Four blank walls surround youâ€”free of advertisements for better bodies, better sex, better clothes. This is the only time that many women confront their own bodies in a de- sexualized way. It's a time to yank down your pants, address your primal need to piss and interact with your own vagina. Why not make it a time to connect with other women in the same vulnerable state and commerce-free environment? Finally, so what if it gets erased? It gives somebody a chance to renew the sentiment, keep it fresh and alive. Perhaps it even gives the custodian who paints over it a few chuckles or insights. The institution's negative response to the vandalism is what lends it the power of rebellion. So female-identified population of Western, if you choose to honestly contribute to this radical bathroom discourse, please do so authentically and with the deepest regard for the empowerment of your sisters. Keep the discussion alive. Lauren Erickson Western senior Firearms enhance safety In the May 5 article, 'Former Professor Working to Preserve Local Bear Population': When asked "How do you keep yourself safe while working around bears?" Chris Morgan responded that he knows bear behavior intimately and is respectful. "I don't approach them; I allow them to make the moves," Morgan said. He also mentioned bear-proof containers and pepper spray for bear safety. It would be helpful if those doing good work for bear preservation admitted that pepper spray may not be enough to stop a charging grizzly. When Anchorage, Ala., had numerous bear attacks last year, local government wildlife officials responded with firearms, not just pepper spray. Similarly, as Glacier National Park had the most bear attacks in the contiguous U.S., rangers responded with firearms. Yet, since firearms are prohibited at the better serve students who are suffering from a lack of classrooms and resources. No relief is in sight for Fairhaven. The recent budget cuts will significantly reduce Fairhaven's teaching staff and reduce the budget for college operations by slightly over 50 percent, leaving $20,925 to operate the college, according to a budget presentation by Fairhaven Dean Roger Gilman. The current lack of space and further reduction of Fairhaven resources not only shortchanges Fairhaven students, it is an unfortunate reflection of how Western has devalued the alternative education experience. Western needs to step up and better serve Fairhaven students by expanding the facility and supporting its growth and popularity instead of cutting more of Fairhaven's already limited resources.

This double standard was a big reason why George Bush enacted a federal law allowing firearms in national parks before he left office. After Barack Obama was elected, that law was immediately ruled unconstitutional purportedly because environmental concerns were not given proper scrutiny. Practically speaking, this means the issue most likely will be shelved indefinitely as people continue to be mauled at Glacier National Park. As difficult as it is to argue for firearms given the horrific trauma caused by gun violence, allowing firearms in national parks, specifically in this instance for bear defense, was a step in the right direction. Remember world famous bear photographer Michio Hoshino? A grizzly killed and ate him in his tent on the Kamchtka Peninsula in Russia. And like Chris Morgan, Hoshino loved, respected and knew bears intimately. Yet his tragic death showed bears will, at times, kill indiscriminately. Hopefully, Chris Morgan will include in his talk this Friday the warning that pepper spray may not be enough to stop a charging grizzly.

Nationals will be held May 8-10 in Fort Collins, Colo., and will consist of three different races: a road race, criterium and a team time trial. Western's team is sending two women, graduate students Daisy Phillips and Kristen Stouder, and four men, seniors Phil Elsasser, Ben Rathkamp, Tim Woods and freshman Steve Fisher going to nationals this year. Phillips, Stouder and Elsasser have competed in nationals before. For the others, including Fisher, the competition will be a new experience.' "I think everyone did really well a$ the [conference championships]," graduate student and cyclist Ariel Wetzel said. "Everyone on.the team is pretty stoked and supportive. We've had a strong team over the past couple of years, so we were expecting to go to nationals again this year." Western took second place in the conference championship, clinching a spot at nationals. Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., who consistently brought a larger team to races than Western, took first place, said Phillips, Western's cycling team president. Whitman always has more women racing which gives them the advantage because they can compete in more races, Phillips said. "Although getting second in the conference isn't bad, we had won the last three years, so it's a little disappointing; but we will get them next year for sure," junior Chris Kliem said. The team is hopeful for continued success, Phillips said. The altitude change in Colorado will also present some addi- - tional challenges, he said. "We don't know how people are going to respond [to the altitude] because everyone is affected differently," Phillips said. "Colorado schools that are used to the elevation will definitely have the advantage in the competition." Phillips said the conference championships were particularly good for beginning riders. "It was great for the team because a lot of new riders had a fantastic time and were able to gain experience that will be important in future seasons," Phillips said. Western's women will not be able to race a team time trial at nationals because they do not have enough women competing, which will cost the team a lot of points in their run for overall Division II, but the team remains optimistic, Kliem said. "There are so many people there, which can be both good and bad," Kliem said. "Hopefully, we will take advantage of the situation and get some good results." Besides the Colorado schools, the team's biggest competition will be Dartmouth College from Hanover, N.H., and Massachusetts Institute of Technology from Cambridge, Mass. Western finished third behind M.I.T. last year. However, Phillips said they never really know who will be a force. Western's club cycling team was established in 2003 and consists of about 25 riders of varying abilities and experience, ranging from those who have never raced to riders who hope to continue on to compete at the professional level. "That's the nice thing about racing at , Photo courtesy Patrick Means Western senior Tim Woods pulls ahead of fellow teammate Tyler Given at the Northwest Collegiate Conference Championship April, 26 in Moscow, Idaho. the collegiate level; there is category for everyone," Phillips said. The team began their season in the fall as new members joined and were taught basic training skills and what to expect over the course of the racing season. As the season moved forward into the winter months, practices got more frequent as the team began to ride multiple times a week, focusing on drills in preparation for racing. After working through the fall and winter months, Phillips said, the team began their racing season in the spring. "You form really tight bonds with people on the team because we suffer through training together all season and then spend weeks racing together during the season," Kliem said. During a race, riders gain -some interesting experiences and get a number of adrenaline rushes, Kliem said. Photo courtesy Patrick Means Western rider Luke Shoemaker battles for a winning time on April, 25. "Sometimes in a race you will hit crazy, fast speeds on some descents that you totally wouldn't take as fast in a car, so it's interesting in that sense," Kliem said. "I have been trying to go 50 mph for a while now! I have yet to make it, although I did get up to 49.7 mph."

Kendall Mercer THE WESTERN FRONT The Western women's golf team's season came to an end Wednesday, May 6. The Vikings finished three strokes away from securing a birth to nationals at the seventh annual NCAA Division II West Super Regional May 4-6 at the Ironwood Golf and Country Club in Omaha, Neb. Western senior Kaitlin Parker tied for fifth place in medalist play, qualifying her to move on to compete in individual play at nationals. Parker shot 236 strokes and finished the tournament with, a final round 82,10 strokes over par. "It's exciting. It was our goal to get there as a team, but I'm really happy for Kaitlin," head coach Bo Stephan said. "She's the only senior, and she's going to get to finish her career at a national championship. I'm happy that she got a chance to finish really well." The Vikings played 54 holes during the three-day event and ended with a total of 978 strokes to finish in fifth place. The Vikings were the No. 3 seed at this year's championship and placed second at the regional level last year. "There were a couple of teams that played a little better than we did," Stephan said. "We just didn't get it done." Western junior Breanna Carmichael said it was not lack of preparation or confidence that caused the team to. falter on the last day of the tournament, it was just the luck of the draw. "I honestly think it was bad luck," Carmichael said. "We were ahead coming into the last three holes and we knew that we needed to finish strong, and we all did terrible." Tarleton State University (TSU) from Stephenville, Texas, won the regional title for the third year in a row with a 10 stroke lead and a final score of 954. Stephan said that the layout of the golf course might have played a factor in the Vikings' overall performance. "It was probably the most difficult course we played all year," Stephan said.

Western seniors Kelly Thees, Mike Eisele and junior Kaylin Bettinger qualified for the all-star team for the first time in their collegiate water skiing careers. The all-star team is made up of 30 athletes from the Western Region. Thees and Bettinger will compete in the women's jump event and Eisele will compete in the men's jump event. Western seniors Aly Howisey and Brian Zuleger round out the five Western, skiers competing for the Western Region All-Star team in the ski association at the all-star tournament on May 16 and 17 in Ahoskie, N. C. Both Howisey and Zuleger will compete in the three traditional water ski events: jump, slalom and trick. Howisey and Zuleger will compete at the tournament for the second year in a row. Last year, the Western Region All- Star team won second place overall and won first place in the slalom event. "It's a really big improvement," Thees said. "It's a team confidence boost to know we have five people going." To prepare for their performance in the jump event at the all-star tournament, Thees said the women are trying to improve their jump distances by practicing more challenging jump maneuvers. When the boat pulls a skier toward the jump ramp at an angle, a technique called "cutting," Thees said the .skiers gain more momentum, which allows them to nearly double their jump distance.

Thees said time conflicts kept many skiers from competing. Howisey and Zuleger did not compete because they already qualified for the all-star tournament at the Western Collegiate tournament on April 24 in Blaine. At last year's tournament all-star, Zuleger said he felt a lot of pressure competing on a team with the best skiers in the region. But once he got comfortable, he said all the skiers on the team help each other out by suggesting ways to improve their technique. Since Western's water ski team is a club sport, attendance, practices and tournaments are not mandatory. "We push each other to do better," Zuleger said. "It's a good atmosphere for competing." At last weekend's tournament, Eisele placed 16th out of 49 in the men's trick event. Western Region All-Star team chairman Harley Wallace said Eisele, who was originally an alternate on the all-star team, was moved up because other competitors from the Western Region dropped-out.. Thees' 44-foot jump tied her for eighth place in the women's jump event and qualified her for the all-star team. She also took 16th place in the women's slalom event. Wallace said the team has shown more of an improvement in performance than any other team in the region over the past year and a half, especially in the women's jump. The top five teams from each of the ski association's four regions qualify for the national competition in the fall. With continuous practice, Wallace said Western has the most potential out of the Western Region's 18 teams to qualify for nationals. see WATERSKIING page 15 Aiithentic jvlexi lt;:ar)^uisine;; IflllllfiiiiiiilftlSiS iiliilliiftiitfMls^ilii ill ADVERTISE!

Koppenberg said he was first exposed to golf at age 5 when his father took him to the driving range. At 10, Koppenberg began competing in junior golf tournaments before playing on the varsity golf team for four years at Everett High School. Koppenberg was named Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Play-er- of-the-Year for the second year in a row April 22. The GNAC award goes to the player with the lowest stroke average throughout the conference play. Koppenberg averaged 71.12 shots per round of golf. "It's great to be [player-of-the-year] for the second year," Koppenberg said. 'It means that 1 have been doing what I'm supposed to do." On April 22, the Western men's golf team won the GNAC title for their second consecutive year, coming in first out of four teams. Koppenberg also took first place honors in individual play. "We're all very impressed with him as a team," senior Brandon Brown said. "We try to model ourselves around him." The Vikings placed 10th at the 47th annual NCAA II West Regional Champi- Photo courtesy of the Western Athletic Department Western senior Jake Koppenberg tied for 28th at nationals last year. onship May 4-6 at the Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb. Koppenberg shot two strokes under par 69 to secure a place in medalist play at the national championship, which is being hosted by Western on May 19-22 at the Loomis Trail Golf Club in Blaine. Koppenberg currently holds the school record for lowest scoring average by an individual player per season with 71.13 average in 23 rounds. Last year, Koppenberg broke the 2002-03 record set by Western senior Tim Feenstra of 72.64 shots per round by 0.16. Koppenberg is a general studies major in his second year at Western after transferring from the University of Idaho. Last year, Koppenberg took both the Player-of-the- Year and Newcomer-of-the-Year titles at the GNAC Championships, and he said things have been looking up ever since. "[University of Idaho] wasn't the best fit for me; I made a lot of friends but definitely wasn't going to excel at golf over there," Koppenberg said. "[After coming to Western] everything kind of clicked and came together. I had a good year last year and it's just getting better." Koppenberg said he plans to play as an amateur golfer through the summer before looking to turn professional after graduating from Western. "Next fall, I'll probably turn professional," Koppenberg said. "I will either go to [qualifying school] and try to get on one of the tours, or I'll just play around here as I finish up [at Western] next year." Qualifying school is an annual series of tournaments where players from all over the world compete to earn membership into one of the professional golf tours, including the Professional Golfer's Association (PGA) Tour and the European Tour. Western's men's coif coach Steve Card was also named GNAC Coach-of-the- Year for the second consecutive year. With the help of Card, Koppenberg said his golf game has matured this year because he has learned to be more patient, which has led to improvements in his consistency. Koppenberg said Card always knows exactly what to say to players to inspire them to play better and to not be discouraged. "He's a great golf coach. He knows a lot about the game and it's easy to play well with him," Koppenberg said. "He's just as good of a friend as he is a coach." Western senior Brandon Brown said Card, who is an avid Bruce .Springsteen fan, often plays his music before tournaments, which helps everyone on the team relax. Western junior Julian Peters agreed Card has been just as much of a friend and a father-figure to him as he is a coach. On at least one occasion, Western freshman Jake Webb said he has even accidentally caught himself addressing coach Card as "Dad." At last year's regional championship, Western came in second before continuing on to tie for eighth place at the NCAA II National Championship. Western men's golf team was ranked as high as fourth in the region April 17 by the Men's Golf Committee. WATERSKIING: Strives for national competition from 14 In previous years, Wallace said Western's team made fewer appearances at tournaments because most of the competitions were held in California. This year, the teams' improvement has motivated them to participate in more tournaments, Thees said. The warm weather in the southern parts of the Western Region provides teams from Arizona State University and Chico State University with a longer practice season, giving them an advantage over Western. Wallace said. Since the all-star championship will be held in Asheville, N.C., Wallace said the Eastern Region has an advantage because skiers do not have to travel as far as skiers from other regions. Taking first at the all-stars tournament is going to be a challenge for the western region team because many of the region's best skiers from schools such as Arizona State, graduated last year, Eisele said. "Our region isn't as strong as it used to be," Eisele said. "It's really up in the air air." i^lilBSMKi^dS^^^fl^iaB^ WSmiSM IB^S!illilil!iHi^(Si^8l IlilSiSlMlBi^BiiillBlSliiBI IBSIKililiiiiiiiB^^^^^^Bi Bill q||iri* lt;sif - ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ â€¢ " â€”-â€”â€¢ FOR RENT 3 BD/2 BA duplex for rent.

Western finished 10th among 20 teams competing and did not qualify for nationals. The Vikings entered the three-day, 54-hole regional as a No. 3 seed. The tournament consisted of 20 schools as well as eight additional individual golfers. As a team, Western shot its best round of 296 strokes in the third and final round Wednesday, but it came too late. Western did not make it into the top five qualifying schools. The Vikings finished the tournament with a total of 907 strokes. The top five finishing schools were - the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs in first with 863 strokes, Cal State University Stanislaus and Sonoma State University tied for second with 866, Cal State University San Bernardino in fourth with 875 and Grand Canyon University in fifth with 888. â€¢ . . Western head coach Steve Card said at this point in the season there is a heightened sense of the moment and the intensity level is up, but the only thing that matters is that the team plays well. "We don't do anything radical at this point in the season," Card said. "We try and mimic the grass and yardage of the course." f Card said the team had been improving through the spring as the weather got better, which helps level the playing field with the Southern teams. Card said the team is used to playing at mid to long courses, and he would have "We went in there with really high expectations as a No. 3 seed. Not even placing in the top five was disappointing. - Julian Peters, junior golfer liked to see the team rise to the challenge, but the 7,016-yard course was tough. "They are excited," Card said before the match. "They've recognized things coming together for them, but it takes more than that." Following the match, Card said intercollegiate golf is a team sport, and it takes the entire team of five guys to win a national championship. "You've got to get out there and play well for three days," Card said. "You need all five to play well." Card said in their last two tournaments, two or three players did well, which helped the team finish high, but in order to win a championship the whole team has to perform. Competing in his third regional tournament, junior Julian Peters knows what to expect in postseason play. Photo courtesy of the Western Athletic Depafment Western junior Julian Peters shot 1 Over 72 on the second day at the regionals. "We went in there with really high expectations as a No. 3 seed," Peters said. "Not even placing in the top five was disappointing." Working on mental toughness is important in golf, especially at the collegiate level, Peters said. "At this level, everyone can compete physically; everyone can hit the ball well," Peters said. "The mental game has the biggest role." The pressure to make a comeback' from the team's rough second day made finishing well more difficult, Peters said. Western will host the national championships May 19-22 at the Loomis Trail Golf Club in Blaine. The teams competing are the top five finishing colleges, and the top two individual golfers from the super regional in Nebraska. Senior Jake Koppenberg qualified as one of those individuals: "Having Jake qualify for nationals was a bright spot, but we didn't do what we wanted to do," senior Brandon Brown said. "It was disappointing for the team. We wanted to make it to the national tournament." Brown said the course was challenging and it was a little windy, but that is standard stuff. He said he is not letting the disappointing ending of his college career deter him. He plans on competing in amateur competitions throughout the summer. "It's a life-long game; this just starts a new chapter in my career" Brown said. "I want to be a professional someday." Peters said he also plans on competing in amateur competitions to stay in shape. PPPPP

"Effectively, we didn't have any goals," Higgin-son said. "We all knew we were there to serve the students, but somehow everyone there had a different view ofwhat the board of directors should do." According to the Viking Union Finance Office, the AS collected$224,016.60 this year from tuition. Of this, Higginson received $1,250 and AS Vice President Hugh Larkin received $625. Other board members do not receive salaries. Proposals brought up at the beginning ofthe year were not acted on until much later in the year. Examples of these are the AS by-laws revisionbrought up at the second board meeting and not acted on until late winter quarter, and the AS salaryincrease brought up at the first board meeting and not acted upon until the third meeting winter quarter."We were either not dealing with things or tabling them," Higginson said. According to board membersSue Hirchert, Stephen Barrett, Jeff Larsen, Marilee Fosbre and Kay Burke, this pattern of hesitancy inacting on agenda items persisted throughout the year. Higginson disagrees. "I admit fall quarter I wasnot chairing the meetings effectively, but I changed in good faith and feel I was doing a good job,"Higginson said. "I think if you ask any of the board members they would agree that I functioned the wayan efficient chairperson should." "AT THE FIRST of the year Carla (Higginson) did not have themanagerial skills to be president," Larsen said. "She did not become more efficient at chairing themeetings." Larsen admitted he and Barrett had been assuming the presidential duties. "Barrett and Ihave been policy writing and soliciting information since the beginning of winter quarter," Larsen said."That's what the president should be doing." "Carla (Higginson) wasn't around, I don't know why, I didn'task her; but I am not one to talk because I wasn't around either," Larkin said. "I got more involved withthe bookstore than my job required and besides I didn't have an office." Higginson too, admitted that as apresident she had been circumvented by other board members. "It wasn't due to my lack of initiative theytook over," she said. "The AS president doesn't have a lot of power. Out of necessity I had to step down." - On April 2, 1975, Larsen gave Higginson an ultimatum with a majority of the board's approval. "We'dbeen working around her (Higginson) for six or seven months; something had to be said and done. I toldher to either shape up or ship out," Larsen said. The ultimatum was based on a series of accusationsincluding mis-use of travel funds, refusal to recognize board members during meetings, failure to meetwith the advisor when requested to do so, failure to maintain scheduled office hours and emotionaloutbursts and personal attacks directed at board members from the chair. - "Never, never in the meetings were personal attacks directed toward board members," Higginson said. "I've never refused torecognize board members," and it's "absolutely and completely untrue that I did not maintain my officehours; I was there every day," she said. Higginson also denied all other accusations. According toShahin Farvan, at-large member, the blame for the board's inefficiency this year is not the fault of oneperson. "It's a mixed up personal conflict. They (board members) don't know that when it comes tobusiness, they should leave their personal feelings out. Some of the board members are very immature,they're holding personal grudges," he said. "That's why our agendas are continually postponed." CARLAHIGGINSON "It's a fact the board took sides a few times and Carla (Higginson) just happened to be onthe other side," Larkin said. "People didn't use tact in handling other people." The students that wereelected this year were perhaps not the best students to accomplish student needs," Hirchert said. "If our elected students are aware that what they do and say is made public they act more efficiently This iswhy the Western Front should have given us more coverage this year," Hirchert continued. Barrett, thenewly elected AS president summed up this year's board's effectiveness. "This competes with one of theworst years the AS has ever had."

These two members are making their imaginary descent along the "pass" that leads to the"mountainâ€”K3," technically it's the sculpture "For â€”â€”-â€”~â€” : - DENNIS RITCHIE AFTER ATHREE year experiment, the Associated Student government is facing an identity crisis. Moves are being made by next year's AS officers, with help from present members, in an attempt to alleviate theproblems. In the three years that the AS has been legally a corporation and not a student government, ithas had problems with its system of a Board of Directors and various councils under the board.Problems have arisen during all three years between the AS president, who is also chairperson of theboard, and the board members. The identity problem, according to next year's AS president, SteveBarrett, is "The AS is a student government using a corporation model. A board, under the corporationmodel, oversees management but not necessarily day-to-day operations." The reorganization planswhich are being discussed will be worked on during the summer before a public hearing and a studentvote on the changes will be this fall. The plans deal with setting goals, accountability of councils andbetter lines of communication.' These plans will be part of a written policy that, according to Barrett, willbe a definite operating code. The code would deal with hiring and employment practices and staffing ofvarious college committees which are presently done through word of mouth. THIS WRITTEN CODE willspecify the lines of communication between the councils and the board. Barrett warned, "We should have preliminary budget proposals and post-budget checks to see if any abuses occurred. Abuses happen ifthere is no control or accountability." The present system doesn't require that account- "Things are being done that are not even approved at the council level. If no one questions a decision, it'll just happen thatway." One of the most wide-ranging proposals that may be considered is a change from the presentcorporate structure. One suggestion would have the board handling corporate board matters while a newcouncil would replace the board in handling student government matters. Another alternative would havethe AS board made up of representatives of the several AS councils. Jeff Larsen, an outgoing AS boardmember involved in reorganization planning, said there could be problems with that proposal. "Themembers could have great expertise but they may not be considered 'representative' because they arenot elected by the students." SEVERAL PEOPLE MENTIONED problems of expertise with the presentmethod of some members elected to sit on the board and also on a council while some board memberssit in at-large positions with no specified responsibilities. Under his leadership, board members will beexpected to specialize in some field. Barrett said. However, he admitted there would be no concretemethod of requiring specialization. AS advisor Kay Burke pointed out that history supported the wisdomof specialization. She said, "In every board, the people who are dealing with something else are the mosteffective." Some organization proposals have already been approved. In passing new by-laws severalweeks ago, the board created a new position of second vice president. This would be filled by thechairperson of the student caucus of the All-College Senate. Hirchert explained the new vice president,who will be elected next fall, would deal with academic matters that involve the Associated Students and the senate. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 More students, less faculty cause Western worries LIZ RUSTMOST DEPARTMENTS at Western are suffering from a serious case of faculty malnutrition. Andalthough the state legislature has not made a decision on faculty formula, an increase in the budget fornext year looks doubtful, according to James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Threeweeks ago, Western's six deans expressed a need for a total of nine more Full-Time Equivalency (FTE)positions to meet minimal staffing requirements next year, while only six are expected to be available.Due to legislative cutbacks in funding Western suffered two years, all departments have been operatingon 15 per cent budget cuts, Davis said. This has caused serious problems throughout the campus. "It isa matter of survival for three quarters of the departments on campus," R.E. Stannard, chairman of thejournalism program said. "Without more faculty, they are confined." Stannard said the journalism program is "holding down the staff to the faculty level we had when we had one-half the number of students on the .program that we have now." The program has four faculty members for next year, where it needs six tomeet the current level of demand, he added. According to Pat Friedland, director of the recreationprogram, that program is also in need of more staff. For the 220 recreation majors, there MUSICALCLASSROOM CHAIRS? are currently only two full-time faculty members. "We need four to go aheadwith the spring program for next year," she said. "This year we managed but next year we can't."Friedland said the demand for the spring program is so great that next year's has already been filled."THE COLLEGE WILL just have to make a decision about whether or not they want to keep theprogram," she said. In the past two years the number of students in the biology department hasincreased from 50 to 250 and the faculty has been cut from 20 to 14.5, according to department headClyde Senger. The increased enrollment is due largely to the great influx of pre-med majors, he said. But because of limited facilities and inadequate staff, the biology department may have to consider "turningoff the (pre-med) program" by discouraging pre-med students from attending Western. Louis Barrett,chairman of the physics department, said, "With the present staffing we can't give the necessarycourses." Although lack of faculty is the most serious problem, the physics department is also indesperate.need of new equipment. "Technological advances require it," Barrett said. A new planetariumis one of the facilities the department would like to acquire. But, according to Barrett, there is less than a 50-50 chance of receiving it. The legislature is expected to make some kind of a decision regardingWestern's financial fate sometime this week. Meanwhile the college, which must make plans, waits. ASoffers funds for transit, awaits city decision BECKY FOX THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS is the firstgroup to commit funds for a proposed free college-city transit system organized by Judy Simmer, director of Rape Relief. A similar commitment from the city may be harder to come by. The AS ear-markedabout $700 from next year's budget for the proposal which calls for a 15-person van to run from theBellingham mall through campus to Holly Street at no cost. The van would run every half hour from 7 to11 p.m. seven days a week during fall quarter on a trial basis. Simmer is asking the AS to pay the costof the gas and oil, the city to pay for the driver's salary and the college to pay for the vehicle. This month, the proposal was heard by the Bellingham City Council's Public Safety Committee. That three-mancommittee requested more information from Simmer and, upon receival of the information, voted it beheard before the council on either June 9 or 23. John Herrman, chairperson of the committee, stronglysupports the proposal but doesn't predict any easy time in the council. "I think it offers something weshould be offering within the city," he said. "But I bet it doesn't go through the council. Basically, what itboils down to is a difference in philosophy and a split between the old and new members of the council."These people (old members) just really refuse to do anything that supports the college or the hippycommunity â€” anything that is not for an old entrenched group." DENNIS BRADDOCK, president of thecity council and member of the Public Safety Committee, also favors the transit system. Braddockwants careful preparation and concrete facts before it is considered by the council. "It will be close butnot unanimous," he said. "The problem with this is it will require a majority-plus-one vote because themoney will come from reserve funds. We'd like to get as much information and support as possible before it comes to the floor because it won't be easy to get it through." Simmer was pleased with theproposal's reception in the committee. "It got pretty good response but I am disappointed that the thirdmember wasn't as enthusiastic, especially since he is a college employee," she said. Stuart Litzsingeris the third member. He has his doubts as to the city's financing a private group. "Personally, I don't seehow the city can finance it," he said, "because as soon as we do it, some other group will come alongand say, 'if you did it for them, why don't you do it for us?' " Herrman agrees this may happen but wouldlike to try it. "Sure it can grow," he said, "but this isn't a drawback. It can't get way out of hand unlessthere is a need out there. Maybe we should be listening to those needs." DESPITE THE APPARENTsplit in the Public Safety Committee, the real test will be in the Council. Simmer is optimistic of theproposal's future and is now working on the gathering of information and commitments. Simmer, whoused to teach at Western,.said she wanted to do something, over and above the usual, to help alleviatewomen's fears of walking at night. In this respect, she said, the proposal is part'of Rape Relief. But thefree transit would be open to anyone. Keith Guy, director of residence hall programs, is working on thevehicle side of the proposal. The college now owns two vans but it would be difficult to get these, he said, as they are already heavily used for student groups. Guy appeared before the college's parking andtransportation committee last week, but is still waiting for more specific information from Simmer. Thecollege may, should it commit itself, lease a van from an outside agency. If the transit system isimplemented, a tally will be taken fall quarter to see how much it is used. Then a decision might be made by the city and college about funding it as a permanent service. Student publications council picks neweditors GREG COHEN As Western shifts gears in preparation for a new man at the helm, the WesternFront and Klipsun are also looking ahead to new leadership. Greg Cohen, a senior in journalism, hasbeen selected by the Student Publications Council for the summer quarter editorship of the Front.Cohen said that features will be a big part of the summer quarter Front, to "keep the paper lively andclose to what the people in the environment are like during the summer." "Summer quarter is unique" he said, "It's an enthusiastic quarter, and I hope to be able to reflect this enthusiasm in the Front." DennisRitchie, journalism major, was selected for his "second time around" as fall quarter Front editor. "I wantto expand and concentrate on issues, perhaps some of the heavier problems we usually shy awayfrom," Ritchie said. He said he hoped the Front would be able to relate complex governmental issues tothe students on campus, and to person-ize them with the help of "issue pages" where writers on andoff the staff could document the pros and cons of a particular issue. Cheating, promotions and "publishor perish" are some of the topics he hopes to cover. Ritchie said he will "try to present the news from the consumers' point of view." Klipsun's fall quarter editor will be Vincent Hagel, English major. "I hopeto make Klipsun a more experimental publica tion," he said, "both in substance and form." Hagel saidthe Fall Quarter Klipsun will deal with contemporary issues, "things that effect everyone on campus."He stressed that since it is a student publication, anyone on campus will be encouraged to Â§ submitmaterial for use in the $1 magazine. *fe Vincent Hagel, Klipsun editor, ^ unavailable for picture. DENNISRITCHIE ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, June 3,1975 Western Front 3 The call of the wild, or from journalist to jumper CO UNDERCOLORED CANOPIES - Three experienced parachutists float across the skies of Whatcom County atNorthwest Aerosports near Ferndale. From top to bottom: Jack Massey, Jack Fader and Jack Hanssen.SCOTT JOHNSON "I NEED SOMEONE crazy enough to jump out of an airplane," the editor said. "To do what?" I volunteered. "To jump out of an airplane/' she said. So last week, under the watchful eyes ofKen Eskeback, instructor for Northwest School of Parachuting, I learned first-hand why anyone wouldjump out of a perfectly good airplane. I don't know why I did, but Eskeback kept saying there was a much better chance the chute would open than not, so I did. The instruction period seems unreasonably short to the uninitiated, but after five hours of class I was ready to go up and try the real thing. Like manysports, parachuting is easy as long as everything goes well, but I had to learn what to do if somethingwent wrong. If nothing went wrong, there was nothing to do â€” except jump 3,000 feet down. Nothingcould go wrong, they told me. As I would leave the plane, a 10-foot cord would pull out my parachute. Ifeverything worked right, I would fall about 138 feet in three seconds as the parachute opened. If I felllonger than six seconds, Eskeback said, I should "cut loose" from a partially opened main chute. As itfell away it would pull open my reserve chute, he said. And if all else fails, he said pointing to a little boxon the reserve chute, this will automatically open the reserve at 1,000 feet if you are still falling too fast.That, he said, was in case I was unconscious or too scared to move. WITH THOUGHTS of how long they would talk about death, I got eagerly into the plane and was ready to take-off. We had been through it all on the ground â€” it was easy. On command, I would sit in the door. Just like on the ground. Oncommand, I would climb out and hang from a wing-strut. Just like on the ground. He said go. I went. Justlike on the ground. And fear wrapped its cold hands around my chest. I fixated on the ground and forgoteverything they told me. All I felt was a sickening feeling of falling, like I had never felt before. As soon asI let go, I wondered, why did I do that? As I stared at the ground, I fell and fell and wondered when itwould stop. I had forgotten about the parachute when it shook me back to reality, like being awakenedfrom a dream. "Oh yeah," I thought, "there was something I was supposed to do." So I went carefully over what they had told me. Then finally I remembered, "Oh hey, make sure the parachute is there." So I did, and it was. Then I looked around below me at the beautiful land of north Whatcom county. "Now what?Oh yes. Steer down." I followed the man on the ground pointing the big arrow which told me which way to go to hit any of four fields. This way, that way, turn around. Suddenly I looked straight down. Right below me was the ditch and brambles between two fields. The ground came rushing up and I shut my eyesand slammed both feet through the brush and into the mud. THE SHALLOW water that filled the ditch ran slowly into my boots and I shuddered as I realized I was alright. "It's almost impossible to steersomeone into the ditch on purpose," Eskeback had told me. I remember thinking somebody had done apretty good job. Eskeback estimates he has probably taught 500 people to make their first parachutejump in the last three years. "Probably less than 10 per cent of those have stayed with the sport," hesaid. "I think most of them try it because they've heard it is something fun to do, or they do it to provesomething to themselves." "Mostly I guess people either think we're crazy or they kind of look up to usfor having the guts.to do it," he said. "But the people who stay with it are here because they like tojump." .Eskeback, who has been teaching at the Ferndale center for three years, said there were anestimated 2 million parachute jumps made last year. Each year, he said, there are an average of 40accidental deaths, or one in every 50,000 jumps. Most are due to drowning or landing on powerlines.Eskeback teaches a class each Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Bellingham Airport. The cost of the first jumpis $45, or $40 for groups of six or more. "But anyone is welcome to come to the class," Eskeback said."We will have a movie which anyone can see. It might help them decide if parachuting is what they wantto do." READY FOR THE BIG FALL - What is he thinking as he prepares to plunge from an airplane,3000 feet above the ground, for the first time? DOWN AT LAST - Untangling himself from the briars, ScottJohnson says, "They say every landing you can walk away from is a good one' â€” even if you have toclimb out of a hole first to do it." RIGHT ON TARGET - Making his 74th jump, Jack Hanssen shows howto do it right, as he lands within the target circle. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 ST*?! ,t! .sm.il .v.sbaouT AS needs reorganization 77ie /IS Board o/ Directors, like any efficient organization, must be specifically defined and aware of its obligations.Western's is not. First off, the Associated Students has no goals. There are none present in the by-laws, just revised by the present board for the first time in recent years. The by-laws say the AS shall enhance educational and recreational activities for students, and they shall provide services and activities forthe mutual assistance and benefit of the students. They also say the AS should represent all thestudents on campus for the college and the community. But all this says little or nothing and the entiresystem reek of vagueness. Next are the requirements for holding office. Virtually, there are none except to be a full-time student in good academic standing, and the president, in addition, must havecompleted two'calendar quarters of college work, only one of which has to be at Western. Theproblems most elected officials find when they assume office at Western is they don't know how thecommittee system functions, they're not familiar with the past policies of the councils they represent,they don't understand basic parliamentary procedure and, because the by-laws aren't specific, they're not sure what it is they're supposed to be doing. Most times, because of elected responsibilities andscholastic activities, there is no time to become familiar with these systems. Workshops for instruction,understanding and advice would be meaningful. To date there are none routinely planned for newlyelected AS officials. The entire process is lashed together spring quarter with a majority vote andsomehow expected to hang together and function effectively for an entire year afterwards. The AS needsobservation and input from both the public and the press. They must be continually confronted andquestioned. They need to know their effectiveness is not taken tor granted and that someone outthere cares what is going on. They should have unedited minutes of board meetings so there is a clearand precise public record available to anyone who is interested. They need a strong advisor â€” one who is capable of sound governing advise. One who can see a problem approaching and do something aboutit. One with enough credibility and authority that when suggestions are made they are givenconsideration and credence. Until the present system can be pulled together in an organized fashionand reconstructed until it becomes effective as a governing body, the AS board is useless. It is only a$224,000 operation that allows those elected to play politics, poorly at that, for one year. â€” Connie Tedrow Cluster colleges undersold The relationship between Western's cluster colleges and the CoUege ofArts and Sciences is in need of repair. Two of the cluster colleges, Huxley and Ethnic Studies, weredeveloped out of the current need for education in environmental sciences and ethnicity in society . . .two issues very important to today's students and tomorrow's teachers, parents, employers andsociety as a whole. But the full effectiveness of the cluster colleges is not being attained. Because of the colleges' lack of integration with the College of Arts and Sciences, not all Western students are gettingthis necessary education. Because cluster college credits are not accepted as general collegerequirement credits at the college of Arts and Sciences, most Arts and sciences students arediscouraged from taking cluster college courses. The only students benefiting from the cluster collegesare those with majors and minors in them. These students are already aware of the issues dealt with bythe cluster colleges. Many students will leave Western with no knowledge of the problems involving theenvironment and ethnicity. This situation typifies the relationship between the cluster colleges and theCollege of Arts and Sciences, both of which seem to be working in opposite directions. One reason whymany people of the College of Arts and sciences claim the College of Ethnic Studies is keeping a low-profile is because cluster colleges have been played down and pushed into a dark corner. Because ofimproper coordination of their curriculums, the cluster colleges' potentials are not being reached. What is needed is a definition of the roles and interrelationships of the cluster colleges and the College of Artsand Sciences. The themes of the cluster colleges have been acknowledged, but acceptance andsupport for them is nil. If Western's branches of education become less competitive and moresupportive of each other, then they will move a step closer to maximum effectiveness. Before morecluster colleges are established, students, faculty and administration of Western should reevaluateand improve the present situation of its cluster colleges. â€”Suki Dardarian ANN CARLSON ~J "Iconstantly hear people talking about Western being rated in Playboy magazine as a "party school."

The big stink arose when rumors trickled out ofthe dorms saying that little boys and girls were sharing bathrooms. Administrative officials attempted acover-up and said, "No little boys and girls share the same bathrooms on this campus." Thank goodnessr the fearless, crusading Western Front dared print the truth of the scandal. Since then, pressure fromhorrified parents and hostile legislators has sent administrators scurrying. Informed sources told me theyhave seen college officials spying and sniffing around the dorm's bathrooms. What they are looking for isanybody's guess. ^ Whatever, a recent Western Front reported, "It looks as though they're going to beseparating the boys from the girls next year â€” at least in the way of on-campus dorm bathroomfacilities." The Western Front also said bathrooms for each sex will be labeled. My friend Justushappaned to be in on a meeting where sex labeling for bathrooms was discussed. Justus told me: "Noneof our administrators knew what to do about this sex labeling thing." "Why is that?" I asked. "Well,"Justus said, "in order to separate the boys from the girls they have to put something on the bathroomdoors telling which is which. That's where the problem is.- "The administrators feel the dorm dwellers arejust a teeny bit more intelligent than the baboon. And anyway, hatnional test scores over the past tenyears show that many kids entering college can't read or write. How can you put up signs saying 'Girls'and 'Boys' if no one can read them?" "That is a problem," I said. "But why not put up pictures of a manand woman?" "They thought of that," Justus said, "Someone suggested putting a picture up of a womanin a dress with long hair. But, that won't work here. I mean, all the girls wear jeans and all the boys havelong hair." "But what about putting up a picture of a naked man and woman?" I said. "They thought ofthat too. They even hired an artist to come up with some sketches. He did, but the administrators decided they could never allow such filthy drawings to be placed on bathroom doors. "Well," I said, "What havethey decided to do?" "They have been left with no choice. They are going to do what's done in theOlympics. You will have to be inspected to determine your sex before entering a bathroom. The onlyproblem they had was finding an inspector." "Wouldn't it have been easier just to let everything as it wasbefore?" "What are you," Justus asked, "some kind of pervert?" With that he started walking away."Where are you going?" I asked. "Oh, I have a new job," Justus said. "I'm an inspector over in thedorms." letters Thanks for the memories Editor, Western Front: I would like to take a small space inthe Western Front, before I graduate, to say thanks to so many fine people I have come into contact with here.

Intramural softball encourages male-female sexual stereotypes Better gear may not add 'love'- to your game Editor, Western Front: It still seems apparent that men are felt superior to women and that such stereotypes still exist on this campus. This was explicitlydemonstrated by the intramural softball procedures on May 28. Due to some mistake, four softballgames were scheduled on one field at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 28. This included an all men's divisiongame, an all women's division game and two co-rec division games. Since there are only three umpireson the intramural staff one game had to be canceled. Of course, the game to be canceled was the allwomen's division game. Not only that, but the 5 p.m. all-women's game was also canceled. Considering that many of the women's teams have only played one or two games, if that many, all quarter, where as the co-rec and men's teams have played many more than that, it seems only fair that the women'sdivision games should be allowed to play over the men's and co-rec games.

Young Americans Women's Softball team Geography's name change is confusingEditor, Western Front: Your article in the Western Front of May 27 states that "Huxley also offers aprogram in regional planning. This is not so: Huxley offers a program in environmental planning, notregional planning, as I explained to the reporter. His confusion may perhaps be typical of confusionsurrounding the name change! Ruth Weiner, Dean, Huxley College Editor, Western Front: With springin our midst, tennis players should be aware of a fundamental part of tennis. Concentration, practice and attitude are the basis of anyone's tennis game. For this reason, one should be prudent in buyingtennis equipment. Much tennis equipment is overpriced because of popular brand names. The previous article on tennis equipment was slanted to suggesting such overpriced equipment. Expensiveequipment is usually a waste of an individual's money. Knowledgeable advise is offered here.Beginners should spend no more than $12 for a pre-strung wood racket.

Jim Cannon Peter LeidigVarsity Tennis Change for educational need Editor, Western Front: The faculty of the College of EthnicStudies are aware of the issues now being negotiated by the University of Washington, involving Chicano demands for equal access to higher education. The evidence available to us suggests the firing of JuanSanchez and Gary Padilla and the suspension of Rosa Morales were willful and capricious. We havebeen particularly concerned with the resignations of Chicano faculty and administrators because of the effect upon the larger Chicano community in the state. The College of Ethnic Studies faculty suggestthat the Educational Opportunity Program and Academic Programs be restructured in terms ofChicano educational needs as these are defined by Chicanos. It also suggests Chicano faculty andadministrators be hired in the numbers that would provide professional opportunities for Chicanosand fulfill Chicano student and community needs. The inequality prompted by a hierarchical structureof authority, of cultures and people, is reflected in the development of academic programs and in themethod of selecting faculty. In such a structure there exists an adherence to forms when those forms no longer speak to educational needs for the coming years. Change cannot occur where the persistence of old structures and forms disallow it.

ROYTANAKA AFTER EIGHT YEARS as president, a vote of no-confidence from the faculty in 1972, budgetcuts and reduction-in-force policies, College President Charles J. Flora is saying goodby to the office."As of June 30, at 6 p.m., I will be a private citizen again. I can close my door on anyone and you'll havetrouble finding me," he said. Flora will spend the next school year on an administrative leave. He plans tostay out of the public eye and "do a lot of studying." "I've been away from the classroom for quite awhileand I've got a lot of catching up to do," he said. THEN â€” Flora as a young man Although he will returnto Western in 1977 as a member of the biology department, he will continue to maintain a low profile forone more year. "I don't in any way want to cause any inconvenience to the college or newadministration," he said. "I don't want the Flora administration to haunt the Olscamp administration.After that I'll become a regular member of the faculty, assuming positions at the discretion of thedepartment chairman." Looking back over his years in office, Flora said it is "wonderful" to be getting out. "I had originally planned to stay in office for a minimum of four years and a maximum of five," he said."But I realized that the college was in for some rough times. I wanted to see it through. "I feel I have done that. I have seen it through. The main job has been completed. Now it's time for someone else." THEFLORA ADMINISTRATION has been through some rough times and has had to absorb much criticism.But Flora doesn't mind. "I don't know what the attitudes of others will be after I'm out. I am aware thatsome people have been antagonistic, to ward the administration. But that's all a part of the job. Anycollege administrator should know that. "We've been through some terrible times and I've had to makesome brutal decisions. But I had to make those decisions and let the chips fall. I don't give a damn whatthey think." A college president who doesn't give a damn? "There are other things that are more important than what others think. Do I like myself? Have I made firm and honorable decisions? I don't care ifpeople like me or not. The more important question is: Do I like you?" Flora admits to being an"unorthodox" president. "I'm a short, fat, dumpy Italian. That's not in the image of a college president. Imilk cows, not to prove anything, but because I enjoy milking cows. People come out to my farm andsee me hauling manure and they say 'that's not what a college president is supposed to do.' But I'm justbeing me. "I did not become an 'administrator' when I took office. I continued to be myself. "I HAVEN'TBEEN a good administrator because I'm too blunt. I made enemies. College presidents aren't supposedto be like that. "You know, a lot of people become administrators because there's a lot of prestige inthe job. But for me, being college president was just another job. It wasn't the biggest think in my life. Ididn't seek glamor or prestige. In fact, I never cared much for what I did here. I just like this place and Ilike the people." Flora said he feels he will return to the faculty with an increased understanding ofadministration and its decisions. "Now I'm aware of the difficulties, strengths and limitations of anadministration. I hold administrators in high regard. I think they're among the most innovative andimaginative people around. "Being an administrator is a hard job. It should never be underestimated. For a few years I had a standing joke in this office. I'd go to my secretaries and say, 'Nobody told me it wasgoing to be that tough!' "And it is a tough job. The range of duties is mind-boggling! A president has toattend to n lt; problems ra difficult. An there is president He came "trepidat^p He saw We pronecamp through ei; What $pri leaves the the classroc proud, comr to get oufe gl NOW - ~ Controversyfills eight-year Flora term DUFF WILSON A STEPDOWN from the college presidency to a facultyposition was requested by Charles J. Flora shortly after faculty voted no confidence in his administration. "I have not been driven out by pressure," Flora said, but many faculty disagreed. Flora was embroiled incontroversy and criticism in spring 1972 at Western. A secret faculty poll in early June showed noconfidence in the president, by a vote of 208-182. This prompted the Faculty Council to vote noconfidence and call for Flora's resignation, by a 7-6 margin. Flora requested the stepdown later in 1972,in a secret, hand-written note he gave to Western's Board of Trustees. Only they and Flora's wife wereaware of that action. The trustees rejected his resignation then, and confirmed him in office,' statingpublicly in December that they had "entire confidence" in Flora and they hoped he would change hismind. FLORA EMPHASIZED last week "there was just no connection" between his resignation and thefaculty no-confidence vote, although "many people would like to come to that conclusion." The 1972dispute had overtones of a struggle with the faculty versus Flora and the trustees. The main criticismsleveled against Flora were: â€” general lack of internal leadership. â€” poor communication with thefaculty, administrative autocracy and "cronyism." â€” violating student publications policy by banningthe on-campus printing of a controversial issue of "Jeopardy," the student literary publication. â€”condoning an illegal act and succumbing to intimidation by conceding two faculty positions to the College of Ethnic Studies after 60 minority students occupied the administration building, Old Main, in spring1972. â€” low morale, low salaries and high student-faculty ratios. FIVE TOP STUDENT leaders sidedwith Flora during the no-confidence, controversy, in a June 1, 1972, statement to the trustees: ". . .Tolose his talents during this crucial time would be tragic . . . We always have known the president to dealopenly and justly with us . . ." Flora apparently just postponed his request, and the trustees accepted his resignation in May 1973, nearly a year after the original no:confidence vote. The resignation is effectiveJune 1975. The action came as a complete surprise to most of the Western community. Flora has beenWestern's president since March 21, 1968. He has served in both a period of great growth andexpectations, and troubled morale and anger at his administration. The president will return to teachingas a zoology professor in the biology department, the job- he held before joining the administration asacademic dean in 1965. Flora gained a reputation for being honest, blunt, good-humored andopinionated. Student /ecnc as time FOUR FACES OF FLORA â€” College President Charles J.

Fallquarter this year saw a major reshuffling of Western's administrative ranks. Early in the quarter it wasannounced that Ruth F. Werner would be the new dean of Huxley College. And look at it this way â€”Western's not losing a Flora, they're gaining an Olscamp. On November 13 it was announced that PaulJ. Olscamp would take College President Charles J. Flora's position on July 1. Flora will go back to hisfauna in the Biology department. Vice President for Academic Affairs Jerry Anderson resigned his postin December, calling his stay at Western "depressing."

And Flora, in his state of the college message, said Western needs a transfusion of fresh blood if it is to avoid the stagnation of100 per cent tenure. This fanned the flame of the already smoldering tenure issue. But Keith Jarrett,Wishbone Ash and the Flaming Zucchini were there to make the quarter a little less gloomy. Springquarter Western talked w about the TRI-ED program and â€¢Â§ the creation of a business and ^economics cluster college.

"What I plan to do first is to appoint a full-fledgedsearch committee to seek out a person for vice president of academic affairs," he said. Olscamp, whostated that he liked working with small numbers of people, added that "the committee will bereasonably small but representative of all areas of the community, including students." The committee'schoice, said Olscamp, should "demonstrate teaching and research ability and command academicpersonal repect of the faculty." When Olscamp becomes president July 1, Loren Webb will act astemporary vice president until the committee finds someone to fill his shoes â€” permanently. Also soonafter his arrival to Western, Olscamp claimed he would like to study the possibilities of establishing acollege of business and economics. EARLIER THIS MONTH, the Academic Coordinating Commissionapproved the proposal to upgrade the department of economics and business to a cluster college. Theirrecommendation now goes to the president and then to the Board of Trustees. In the wake of talk aboutWestern's "gloomy outlook," Olscamp had some positive things to say. "Everybody says that Western is falling to pieces. I see no evidence of this," he said, "Western has problems and will have problems, butit does have some good programs to offer." Olscamp claims he has no pre-meditated plans or programshe will initiate upon his arrival. "So much is dependent upon the situation when I arrive," he said. PAULOLSCAMP After being an instructor and assistant professor at Ohio State University, he becameassociate dean there in 1969. From there, he became vice-president for academic affairs, dean offaculties and a philosophy professor at Roosevelt University. Olscamp will come from SyracuseUniversity, New York, where he was executive assistant to the chancellor and philosophy professor andlater became vice chancellor for student programs.

"As faculty than students. He holds power over the faculty and members of hisadministration, so they develop a defensive, adversary relationship. "Olscamp will be up against anentrenched faculty with high power faculty politicians. They'll all try to get their particular views across tohim. He won't have the close ties and friendships inside the college that Flora has cultivated," Wilsonsaid. "He'll have to make them himself." "A person can effectively be a leader of a group only as long asthat group recognizes him as such," AS President-elect Stephen Barrett said. "Flora was not articulate in defending some of the decisions he made on critical issues. That lost him communication with thecollege community. "It's going to be very important for Olscamp to communicate with all theconstituencies of the college," Barrett said. "He must have an available ear for student input and be openin his plans for the direction of Western, especially to the students." AS Vice President Hugh Larkinsaid, "I've heard that Flora was elected because, being a past faculty member, people thought they knewwhat to expect of him. It will be different with Olscamp. "From the start it will be difficult for Olscamp tobe his own man. He'll be dealing with a very cliquish faculty, in that departments are close amongstthemselves, struggling for considerations," he said. "FLORA WAS very active on important issues, but considering other fiscal and policy decisions that must be made, student related policies tended to getless immediate attention," said Jeff Larsen, member of the college Services Council and past member ofthe All-College Senate. "In my dealings with him he seemed terribly paternalistic. He also has definiteproblems with the legislature. Wilson, once a legislative intern in Olympia, attributes this to a personalfeud between Flora and Rp. A.N. "Bud" Shinpock, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee(Appropriations). "Olscamp struck me as being very capable and seemed more into student interestson a factual basis â€” not so much bullshit'," Larsen said. "He'll push for student representative on theBoard of Trustees. With his background, I think he could lead Western away from its liberal arts core." "I sense that he's an authoritarian, but I think he'll have to feel out his administration for a year of so beforehe can implement his new ideas," Larsen said. BARREN OFFICE, PLENTIFUL MIND â€” Acting VicePresident for Academic Affairs Loren Webb plans to make transition period for incoming college presidentPaul Olscamp as easy as possible. New vice president wants to implement policies of students, facultyand trustees LOUIE PHILLIPS ABOUT THE ONLY thing acting Vice President for Academic AffairsLoren Webb has in common with his predecessor, Jerry Anderson, is the shortness of his term. Webb,45, sat in his barren office Wednesday. He wore a short-sleeved white-and-baize striped sui: t with apaisley tie. His hair jutted from behind his ears. One arm was slung around the back of the chair. Theother reached to flick a cigarette ash or grab a cup of coffee. In contrast to Anderson who came from aMichigan school, Webb has been on campus 10 years. For six of those years, he has been director ofthe speech pathology and audiology program. Webb considers himself to be pro-faculty. Anderson wasknown for having squabbles with several faculty members. Webb has a different view of being anadministrator. "It's my belief the success or failure of Western revolves around the faculty, students andadministrators of this institution," Webb said. "I am for faculty. "I want to see myself as animplementer of policies as determined by the faculty, students and Board of Trustees." Webb hopes toget along well with all members of the college community during his one-year tenure. "My firstcommitment is to Western," Webb said. "I'm not going to use my position to build up speech pathology. I will put. college policy first and foremost. "I would like to think one of the reasons I was chosen is that Iam known for my objectivity." Webb said he does not anticipate having any problems taking on theacademic vice presidentship at the same time Paul Olscamp assumes college presidential duties. "MYFEELING IS that we will get along just fine. We are very compatible," Webb said. "I'm flexible. We willhave a good working relationship." Webb made this statement even though he has met Olscamp once, and that was only to shake his hand. However, Webb has often served against College PresidentCharles J. Flora as the 1970-71 Faculty Council chairman. Flora and Webb have a "mutual respect." Itwas Flora who accepted Webb's nomination from the Council of Deans. "I've always been comfortableworking with Flora," Webb said. He believes the same relationship will exist with Olscamp. "Olscampknows I just want to serve a single year," Webb said, referring to his July 1976 return to his department."I presume I was selected because I am someone from the campus that knows the campus so as tomake the transition easier." Webb, though on sabbatical, was on campus to familiarize himself with hisnew job. "I'm not expecting a honeymoon. I expect to go right to work," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front- Ttie^UyiJiine 311975^ Gabriel Gladstar returns for musical Farewell Reunion with oldfriends GRANT RANLETT AS THE FULL moon glowed an eerie orange and disappeared into totaldarkness, Gabriel Gladstar played to a gathering of 200 in the Viking Union lounge May 24. Theperformance marked the close of their two-night Farewell Reunion, an event that brought them all the way from San Francisco to bid a musical hello and goodby to the town that had given them the boost of theircareer. Michael Gwinn, Phillip Morgan and Jim Zeiger of Gab riel Gladstar arrived in Bellingham with their family of 15 in an old schoolbus in August 1973. They had been turned away from the Canadian borderon their wav to Vancouver from their home in Laguna Beach, Calif. Their next move was to settle inBellingham. In the 11 months they lived here, Gladstar became one of Bellingham's most popular bandsand completely changed the local music scene. Before Gladstar's arrival there were few places in townwhere good live music could be heard. This band broke the way for hundreds of other musicians whentwo local establishments began featuring live music after Gladstar became the first band to play on theirpremises. The concerts had a warm welcome back feeling. Gladstar was glad to be back in town and the audience greeted them like old friends. A relaxed atmosphere pervaded the lounge as people sat oncouches or on the carpet-covered floor, bathed in the red light of the setting sun shining through theroom's large picture windows. "This view reminds us of San Francisco," Gwinn said as he gazed out onto Bellingham Bay. Appropriately, '"Sunset* was the opening number that evening. Gwinn played lead onhis acoustic Gibson guitar as Morgan supplied his complex, powerful rhythms on his hollow-bodied guitar while Zeiger accompanied them on flute. Gladstar's style could best be called jazz-country. THEIRPIECES WERE of wide variety ranging from the quiet "Did I Hurt You?" with a single guitaraccompanying three voices to the intense, tightly-knit guitar dialogues between Morgan and Gwinn. Theyplayed their own compositions and some fine versions of such songs "Mr. Bo Jangles" and the Byrd's"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Woodwinds and guitars were the group's basic instrumentation. Zeiger playedeither a flute or chose from a selection or soprano, alto, and bass saxes. At times, he or Gwinn wouldplay the electric piano/organ. In addition to his acoustic guitar, Gwinn frequently played a black-bodiedelectric Gibson, occasionally switching leads with Morgan. Morgan would sometimes set aside his guitar to play a variety of small percussion instruments. MOON MUSIC - Phillip Morgan, Jim Zeiger andMichael Gwinn played their jazz-country music at their concert in the Viking Union lounge during therecent lunar eclipse. After the first hour-and-a-half set, the band took a ' moon break," giving everyone achance to observe the eclipse. The moon was a silver sliver as the concert ended at 1 a.m. after astanding ovation and an extended- encore. As Gladstar packed their equipment, several of the audiencecrowded the stage to express their appreciation. Later that day a train would take the three musiciansback to San Francisco. 'Jeopardy9 shines in art... lacks in writing BRUCE HAYES This year's"Jeopardy" is 140 pages of poetry, short stories and art work. Some of it is good, but, unfortunately,some of it is not. V The art is "Jeopardy's" best asset. A lovely color reproduction on the cover, "TheConservatory" by Bonnie E. Hammond. A whole rainbow of hues, deep reds, oranges, purples, blues,greens, yellows and intermediate shades swirl and twist to form fairytale foliage and a glassed building of plants and birds. Paintings, drawings of pencil and pen and ink, and etchings, appearing intermittentlythroughout the magazine, are expertly used, some abstractly, in portraits, nudes and landscapes. Inthe writing department, however, "Jeopardy" is lacking something. Some of the poems are, at times,evocative and reach out and grip the reader. Certain lines vividly use their words to form pictures of ameaning, perhaps not the author's, but is very clear. Some of the other poems, seem to have beenwritten as a joke, as though the author was saying how ridiculous can I get and still be mistaken for art? That may not be the intention, but it is the impression conveyed. College authors are pretentious.Some do attempt to say something in their work but a lack of real experience prevents them fromsaying it simply. Too often vulgarity and crudity are used to convey an idea when something less offen Free verse poetry is the most difficult to write. Without a formal guide it is easy to lapse from poetryinto parody, and that is what has happened in "Jeopardy." Fiction-wise, the magazine fares somewhatbetter. There is a tendency toward pessimism in the stories, but many of the characters are well-developed. If some of the situations are a bit pretentious, chalk it up to the writers' lack of experience.There are ideas that are fascinating. All they need are a few more years of development.

"We're no longer just a club," Tom Thompson, vice president of the organization, said. "We'vebeen fully recognized as a member of the nationally known SAE." Western is the only collegebelonging to the national organization that does not have an engineering school, according toThompson. The presentation was made in Seattle by Mike Gyidon, Northwest Chairman of All Student Activities. Gene Crosby, president of Western's SAE also received national honors at thepresentation by being awarded an outstanding student member.

Art department te evaluate merits Members ofthe art department are concerned with how the department is run and a general overall outlook of thedepartment. All art studio, art education, art history and art minors are being asked to volunteer inanswering a questionnaire found near the art department office. Some of the questions asked range from "Have you always known what's been going on in the department?" to "Are you getting the kind ofcurriculum you want from the art department?" Other questions cover whether the student plans tocontinue at Western, drop out, or transfer and whether the classes are too crowded. It is hoped thequestionnaire will help shape the department in the future. events TODAY Poetry â€”Thomas IrvingDavis will read from his new book "Within the Sound of Water" at 4 p.m. in the Fairhaven Collegeauditorium.

These interests range from routine administrativetasks, to helping a veteran receive a loan, to giving advice on a personal problem, to arousing publicawareness in social ills. Jeremy Standen, veterans' representative, is responsible for the most importantfinancial services. He is the link with the veteran and the Veterans Administration office in Seattle. If, for instance, a student wishes to claim any additional dependents, Standen should be notified toarrange for the necessary change in benefits. His office is in Old Main 440. His office hours are from8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Lorraine McGaw, of the Registrar's Office works hand inhand with Standen. She informs the Veterans Administration of any change of veteran status-credit hour change affecting benefits, etc. The League of Collegiate Veterans has several programs which haveproven valuable to veterans. The primary function of this organization is counseling. They offer advice onlegal, personal or benefit problems. A league representative said counseling concerning problemsrequiring administrative work is usually referred to Standen. Vietnam Veterans Against the War /Winter Soldier Organization, presently headed by Jim Johnson, is primarily concerned with publicawareness. Its scope is wide and varied. It strives, mostly through demonstration and leafleting, toarouse public support in their fight against social ills, and political and economic injustice. It will oftenmarch with other organizations in "support of mutual positions," Johnson said. VA representativesfrom the Seattle office said veteran enrollment has increased in colleges nationally. This increase,however, is not apparent at Western. The veteran enrollment has "stayed around 900," Standen said. The VA speculates the increase is due primarily to the increase in benefits and also the pooremployment situation in the country. Belly dancing: some just can't stomach it THE MYSTIC MUSIC ofthe Middle East, provided by a lone violin and ceramic bongo drum, sets the mood for the class.Teacher Shelley Nolan calls out the rhythm. She claps time with her four finger-cymbals: "Cross in, -cross in, click, click, click . . . left, right, left, right!" Now the tummies begin to sway in rhythm with thecymbals and the music and the arms start to do exotic things. Faster! Faster! The tempo is building up. The violin player is sitting cross-legged on a bare carpet. The eight women and their teacher continue to sway. The light smell of incense penetrates the small cozy room in the back of the Film Factory onState Street. The gathering is a beginning class in belly dancing, under the name of The Bou SaadaCenter of Middle Eastern Art. "As long as you keep moving to the music you can't make any mistakes," Nolan reassures the barefoot dancers. "I've seen people get out and dance and they do beautifully. Getthem into belly dancing and they can't do it." She said this is because they get uptight and relaxation is the chief ingredient in belly dancing. Nolan is interested in bringing this fine art to Bellingham but so farshe has met resistance from the townspeople. "They consider us hippies," Nolan said, "and they don'ttake us seriously." Nolan studied in San Francisco under "Jamila." She said in the Bay area there arehundreds of dancers so the jobs are scarce. In Bellingham, there are only three professional hellydancers, but because the townspeople don't really understand what it's all about, the jobs are just asscarce. Also, in San Francisco, men belly dance and they are good, Nolan said. Originally, the dancecame from Egypt. The Gawazele tribe was banished to the north of the country and both the men andwomen now earn their livings dancing. in I J THE BEST OF THE NEW YORK FESTIVAL OFWOMEN'S FILMS AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF EIGHT SHORT* FILMS MADE ENTIRELY BYWOMEN.

Early visions offall and football are on the minds of those working out in preparation for next season. The football teamhas been working out, running and weight lifting, since early in the quarter. And apathy would not^describe the enthusiasm of last fall's 2-7 team. "We have a different breed of guys coming back and Ithink we have something to prove. We can win games," Western lineman Dann- DeBellis said. DeBellisis a senior physical education major from Snohomish with one year eligibility left. "Everybody's beenkinda pushing each other and it's paying off," he said. "We're getting in shape and developing a positiveattitude." The team started weight workouts in a power lifting program. Power lifting is especially suited to build strength rapidly and add body weight. Several players (all backs and receivers) have had to switchprograms when body weight increases resulted in loss of speed. They have gone to a speed liftingprogram which* employs the use of lower weights with more repetitions of the exercises. Power liftingrequires working out with maximum bar weight at all times, with fewer reps. Three exercises arestressed: the dead life, squats and bench pressing. "It's going to take a group of guys who want to pulltogether as a team to win more games," DeBellis, who can dead lift over 500 pounds, said. "IT'SDIFFERENT HERE than at other schools. 0 Here we can't take~anything for granted; money, $ Jequipment, staff or anything, but' we have to get "gf; the most out of what we have." Â§ Linebacker BobTaylor, a senior from Ferndale ,Â© said, "People have asked me why I continue to play after the last fewlosing seasons. But I enjoy playing and I'm not going to quit just because we haven't won that manygames." Taylor is also a long jumper on the Western track team and is the defending District I long jump champion. Both Taylor and DeBellis feel that football here lacks enough money to adequately run theprogram. Their main dissatisfaction is the inability of the program to keep a coaching staff intact for two years in a row. "In my three years here we've only had one coach that's remained. That's Boyde Long.It's tough to build a team when, every season, different assistants are helping coach the team," Taylorsaid. Head coach Boyde Long has reported even though funding that he had hoped would let him hiretwo more assistants has failed to materialize, last year's assistants Don Wiseman and Bill Baker willreturn. "I've heard it said that Western considers itself an educational school first and above building upits athletics. But I think that's b.s.," Taylor said. "I think that's an image the school would like to project." "A LOT OF rumors condemning the football program have been started," DeBellis added, "by peoplewho have dropped out of the football program. "The truth of the matter is they were just not goodenough to make the team and want to tear it down to justify the fact they couldn't make it," he said.Both players also mentioned that lack of team leadership hurt the squad last year. Both plan to assumethat responsibility next fall. "Gilmore (Gary, who last year as a senior was an all-Evco and District Ilinebacker selection) tried, but he couldn't do it alone," they said. The two do not intend to finish theirathletic careers on a sour note.

I discovered this quarter, much to my surprise, that the students who produce this award-winningnewspaper are not the bunch of withering, sissy intellectuals I had envisionsed them to be. Havinganticipated disaster when I was roped into being player-coach for the Western Front co-rec intramuralsoftball team, it was a relief to know that my first attempt at a coaching career has been a winningsuccess (due largely to an incredible number of teams that forfeited to us). "They are just scared of us,"maintains our star right fielder, Suki Dardarian. My teammates spend most of their time in thedungeonous newsroom, seeing daylight only on those rare occasions when they lurk through theshadows to cross campus for classes in the basement of Arntzen Hall. I wasn't sure what effect the great outdoors would have on them â€” they went bananas. It soon became a pre-game ritual to gather in theFront office and wait for our pitcher Connie Tedrow, the Knute Rockne of mushball, to begin psyching upthe team. Tedrow starts by pounding everyone she sees on the back and whispering -. a faint word ofencouragement. As the crowd grows in the newsroom, we form a huddle and Tedrow says to the fourtoken women that must be on the field in co-rec play, "Are you ready ladies?" "YES, YES, YES, we'll doour best!" we reply in high, squeaky voices. "Now men," Tedrow says in a stern voice while alternatelyscowling and crossing her eyes, "what is the key word?" "Go, go, go!" they gruff back. "Aw come on you guys," she says, jabbing her hands deep into her pockets and looking irritated. "You gotta be tougherthan this if you want to win." It gets suddenly quiet. "But I thought we were playing just for fun," objectsGreg "the Leggs" Cohen. "Who said anything about winning?" "Look you dummy," snaps our usuallyphilosophical shortstop, Keith Olson. "In my opinion there is a scientifically-proven direct correlationbetween winning and having fun so quit being so damned idealistic." "Enough of this foolishness,"Tedrow bellows. "Go out there and stab them in the back, wring their necks and beat their heads in!"Tedrow throws a typewriter to warm up her pitching arm, and the fervor begins. We dash out the backdoor and pile into the back of catcher Dick Milne's pickup truck and bomb over to the field while 20 of uswildly scream "Kill, kill, kill!" "Kill!" Tedrow whails, laughing hysterically. "For the glory of the Front!" MYVOTE FOR Most Valuable Player goes to our first baseman Dennis Ritchie, who has had to take a lot ofvalid criticism for his conduct. In our first game, we played his girlfriend's team and on her first turn at batshe collided with Ritchie at the base. Consequently, they have had to suffer innumerable . "Well, you-finally-got-to-firstrbase, huh Ritchie" jokes. The Most Impoved Player Award would have to go to MarnieNiece's fill-in at second base, Becky Fox. At the beginning of the season, anybody in a body cast oncrutches with their hands tied behind their back could have thrown better than her. But "the Fox" got ittogether and after her first successful play at second she waved the ball in the air, squealed and lookedgleeful for over a week. We've actually won some games without the aid of a forfeit but I've earned theimage as team pessimist. While my teammates are patting themselves and each other on the back, I'musually off in a corner mumbling, "We only won because they were handicapped with more womenplayers," drawing.the wrath of my liberated sisters. To make a long story short, we might make the play-offs if the play-offs ever get organized. And as our versatile star Rick Donker, who is content at anyposition except benchwarmer, always says, "It could be Hell!"

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 NO. 41 DR. PAYNE LECTURES EE EDUCATIONAL The first three lectures of a series to last until the end of this week has been given in the Normal auditorium by Dr. Payne of the Government Educational Extension Department. A fair estimate of Dr. Payne's worth as a lecturer can .be drawn from these first three lectures. The- first of the series, given on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock was an illustrated lecture on Hawaii. There was shown the rapid development of the Hawaiians in civilization. In 1825 they were a savage people, and today they are honored, thriving and modern. Most of the natives speak English,' and their universities are attended by people from all over the world because of their excellency. There still exists in Hawaii a great class distinction. There are still the people of noble birth and the contrast in' their habitations with those of the natives is striking. In all, the Hawaiians are a friendly people and that means a great deal. The pictures shown were beautiful, and Dr. Payne had won his audience by clear, vivid explanation. The second lecture was on the Turk. " He is a good fellow," Dr. Payne said, "when he isn't killing somebody." The beautiful scenes that followed were colored by the blood of the Turkish victims. Their history is one of the sword, but the Turk, in business dealings is very trustworthy. The women of Turkey are married before they are sixteen years of age, and, from then on, they are the slaves of their husbands. There is much that is beautiful in the religion of Mohammed, but it is enforced by blood and brutality. Constantinople is the dirtiest city in the world. The Turk, himself, is clean but his streets are narrow dump alleys. Upon these dirty passages is found every nationality in the world. On Tuesday at 1 o'clock the third lecture was given. The subject was "America as a World Nation." It was not illustrated. " "We Americans," Dr. Payne said, (Continued on page 2.) dHllllllllllllUlllllllllltllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllHIIItlllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllltIt = JIIIIII|IHIIIIIIIIIHinillllllHIIIIIIIIIIIHillllllllltllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllU = II SCHOOL PHYSICIAN II Office hours 9:30 to 12:00 A. M. except Tuesday and Thursday; 12:45 to 3:00 P. M. Illness ex-curses signed at these periods. 'S The students at assembly Friday morning especially enjoyed the splendid readings by Mr. Parish. Most students like the poems by Noyes and " The Highwayman," representing Romanticism, is a favorite. The story is of a young French highwayman and a beautiful girl. Rather than have him fall into the hands of the British soldiers who have bound her and placed a musket in her hands, she sacrifices her own life. Filled with sorrow he takes his life. The' poem closes with a weird suggestion that to this day the Highwayman comes riding to meet the girl. The second reading, "John W. Jones," .Avas one of those simple but wonderful mixtures of humor and pathos that appeal so strongly to human nature, and represented Idealism. J. "W. Jones was the homeliest man in town but 'through his sincerity and many acts of kindness the people of the town forgot his homeliness and remembered only " Handsome is as handsome does." It was impossible to listen to the reader and not appreciate the Hbeauty and expression of these poems. . Mr. Parrish responded to the enthusiastic encoring of the audience with a bit of serious advice, . humorously given, to both the girls and the men. The seudents reluctantly stopped their second attempt to encore the reader, only when Dr. Nash rose to make the announcements. We hope Mr. Parish will find it convenient to read for us again T WITH PROF. PRAH . Bak^r Annual Excursion an Event in History of B.S.N.S. THE CHURCH MOUXTAIXT CLIMB Immediately upon our arrival at Glacier about eighty began the ascent of Church Mountain. The first stretch which might be likened unto Sahara desert was crossed with a great deal of vim. Just before negotiating the steeper ascent the mighty Brown struck the rock with his staff and we all quaffed freely of aqua. The climb from here to Bridal Veil Falls was quite uneventful except for the fact that Mr. Bond kept flitting from one end of the line to the other speaking words of cheer to faltering pil- (Continued on page 6.) The Wednesday's assembly was taken on a tour through Paris by Professor Pratt, who served in the sight-seeing corps of the Y. M. C. A. in that great French city before and after the armistice was sjgned. The scenes displayed were enriched by stories of personal experiences and a brief history of the buildings or places that were shown. Professor Pratt, in an introduction before showing and explaining the pictures, said: "The boys of our A. E. F. poured into Paris either for pleasure or to study the architecture. Indeed, (Continued on pagre 2.) , ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 DR. PAYNE LECTURES WERE EDUCATIONAL (Continued from page 1.) "have a superior feeling over all nations in the world. We must not forget, my friends, that many nations surpass us in many ways and we must learn to appreciate them all. Allow no person to prejudice you against any of your neighbors'. But, after looking at all of the countries of the world, I can come back and say that my greatest blessing is to be an American. The greatest job an Americans has today is to be a first class American. First of all he must be a gentleman. Then he must be intelligent, any other man can be ignorant but an American can not be. He must be filled with religion, to be an American he must be a Christian first, to think that he can get along without it is a mistake. If the greatest thing is not to be an American it is to be a teacher of Americans. My friends, I give, you my word of testimony, I am an old scholar, I have traveled over a million miles and lived with over forty different people and I would rather be an American citizen than the king of any other nation in the world. " Our land is the richest and the finest in the world, we have the most exquisite scenery in the world. Just take a journey through Yellowstone Park, through Yosemite Valley or the Grand Canyon, can they show you anything to compare with it any other place? For twenty-six million years, God Almighty has been getting this place ready for America. "America is not only a land of beauty and wonder, but of usefulness as well. We can raise more on our land than any other land in the world. Our mountains are nothing but store houses of treasures. We could supply all of Europe, as well as ourselves, with necessities and we did supply them during the World War. That is the bigness of the heart of America. God has given to you and to me one of the richest things in the world and perhaps of many other worlds, too. For thousands of years Europe has been filled with millions of wriggling, hungry humans while America was filled with all its richness. God held all this until by and by He would try the making of a new nation, a new world. " First the Spainiards came to our country for the sake of plunder and they failed. Then came the Puritans looking for a greater soul and with prayer dedicated their new found land to liberty and righteousness, and they stayed. For one hundred and fifty years they struggled with starvation, cold and death. They bled for seven for liberty from the mother country, for the liberty that you enjoy — your freedom. " That is only a little part of the making of America," Dr. Payne continued. " We do not all come from the Pilgrims, but we are, pei'haps, some of the jumble, some of the conglomeration that has gone through the melting pot. Just as the Pilgrims were made welcome, so has America continued through the years to welcome the oppressed of all the world. Some have been narrow, hating everybody, some of them a Judas among us, some come for better living, to be a man, some come for education, some for money, some for service to share in the making of better America. Like that they have come, my friends. They have put their blood, their brains, their hearts into America, making a vision that stretches around the world, making a heart, the bigness of which can not be estimated. It has made America as holy as the Holy Land ever was. Born under the leadership of a Mighty God, would you dare to be unworthy in a land like this? Would you dare to besmirge the character of America, to betray the trust for personal or political gain? Our country with its church ,its school, its sense of righteousness. That is only another way of saying that we have a universally divine genius for doing the things of life. " We have always had some American leaders with a great heart. George Washington with his love of freedom; Abraham Lincoln, if God gave Moses to Israel, He gave Abraham Lincoln to America; Theodore Roosevelt, with his calling men to the square deal. All men blunder but' these have a mighty soul. Another mighty soul, with many faults perhaps, but whose voice and vision shall ring through the ages, is our own President Wilson — God bless him. " There was never a time like this, we are living in an awful age, we need the greatness, the loyalty; let us never take second place. Oh, my friends, we are the making of the America of tomorrow. You teachers, you have a glorious thing to do. Put a mark of God on your brow, let America be God's nation! Fling out Old Glory to be the leader of humanity, the servant of all, and God bless you as you go." Dr. Payne is like a rainbow, coloring his lectures, a covenant between God and man. We could not stay away from the remainder of his lectures even if we wanted to. THROUGH PARIS WITH PROF. PRATT (Continued from page 1.) it was a study worth while. Paris is just dotted with various degrees and ages of architecture. Paris is one of the finest cities in the world; it is fascinating, soft, beautiful. There are more intelligent people gathered together at one time in Paris than any other place in the world. I want to make the purpose of these lectures a promotion of civic beauty. I use Paris as an example, where they make parks everyplace for human happiness, where they have more sculpture, more art, more beauty than any other city. The average Frenchman would rather talk art than politics, and he is mightily fond of politics." The rest was told with pictures and at the close each one felt the need of America stronger, more personally than ever. FOR THE STORY-TELLER All teachers of children's literature should examine the fine line of story books Mr. Baughman is now carrying. No teacher should leave this institution without adding to his own library some of the choice collections now on display in the book store. This is your opportunity to provide for future need and to enrich and enlarge your fund of stories. And perhaps you have not stopped to think that it is also the best opportunity you may have for a long while to make a collection of worth-while pictures for teaching literature and language to little children. Mr. Baughman will accommodate you and assist you in making your orders. Remember that the right teaching of literature is both an art and a science — you must have equipment.

C. Lease, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, will address the student body Friday, July 23. A girl can easily work for her board, or at least partly, while at school. There are places at the dormitory or in the school cafeteria. I have myself worked in the W. H. S. cafeteria and I liked it more than any other work I ever had. While I was in the cafeteria I received better grades in my work, because I had to do most of it at home. The gymnasium class at 2 o'clock is a circus in itself. After watching Mr. Carver gracefully perform on the trapeze with all the ease of a monkey, we manfully scramble up to the dizzy perch, then closing our eyes and taking a deep breath we launch off into space. What a sensation! Somehow we always manage to come down very quickly, and not often gently. But we have hopes, and if we can avoid getting broken necks we will be human monkeys in a few years. •— C. L. GRAHAM Miss Edith Froom, a Normal graduate who is at present connected with the Bellingham city schools, was among the excursionists that attempted Church Mountain last Saturday. Miss Stella Lowry, who graduated from B. S. NY S. in May, with her sister, hiked from Chehalis to the top of Mt. Rainier, a distance of about 250 miles. About one hundred and fifty students enjoyed the excursion to Glacier Saturday. It was an ideal day for hiking and climbing and everyone reported a lovely time. Dr. Chas. A. Payne, lecturer for the National University Extension Bureau, gave an interesting and instructive lec-lure on "The Land of the Turk" at Monday's assembly. A feature of the last half of the summer term will be weekly play evenings held at the school under the direction of Mr. Carver and Miss Long. Say! Don't you know there are three fine tennis courts out there on the training school side, or have you just forgotten it? Those courts ought to be so j gt;opular that three sets of doubles could be in " full swing" all the time, except, by the way, assembly periods. There's nothing like tennis to set the blood tingling, the muscles working, yes, and the hair flying. So, put on your tennis shoes, arm yourselves with tennis racquets and let's hie ourselves to the tennis court. My first serve! Ready! Miss Carolyn Howell and Miss Myrtle Every minute your eyes are open they are working. Are they working under a strain or without? An examination by Wo!! will tell. 205 West Holly Street. Plass hiked Saturday to Sylvan Gove on Lake Whatcom. The Mt. Baker excursion trip was a very delightful one and every one reports having had a splendid time. We are living in hopes of another such trip. Out of a few over one hundred who started on the Church mountain trail, there were about twenty-five who reached the top. Those of us who reached the top felt well paid when we found snow for which we were looking, and do not regret taking the trip, although we felt the effects of the climbing the next day. Some of us thought ice cream never did taste so good as it did when we arrived at the train, and on our way home the whole crowd of us enjoyed ourselves very much. There was some singing and a few little games played and some of the boys helped to entertain the crowd by trying to .sell newspapers, ice cream, popcorn, candy, etc., and playing the conductor, calling off the stations and telling where to change cars. We cordially invite everyone to share the enjoyment and entertainment of the next trip. Everyone who attended assembly last Friday morning was delighted to hear Mr. Parrish's readings. Faculty Notes Miss Druse, Mrs. Johnson, Miss Beach and Miss Pickard spent the week end in Seattle. Mr. Philippi left for New York to attend a conference of Social Hygiene at the Technical College, under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, of Washington, D. C. Miss Woodard, Dr. Miller, Mr. Bond, Miss Longley, Miss Mann, Miss McDonald, Miss Bell and Mr. Kibbe were the faculty members who ventured on the Mt. Baker trip Saturday. WHATCOxM FALLS When we read of such people as Lieutenant Waverly who deliberately murdered his young wife, or of Clarence Johnson, who slew his benefactress, we almost hesitate to think of the punishment that should be meted out to them. We wonder, too, if a suitable .punish- One evening this summer, my .room was hot, I had several hours of reading and studying to do, and I was feeling discouraged — almost wishing I hadn't come to Normal during the regular vacation time. However, as all this unpleasantness was upon me, one of the girls came in and suggested going out to Whatcom Falls to study. We went. A feeling of rest came over me as we were riding along on the Lake car; a cool breeze coming in through the open windows made me feel much better. As we entered the little park everything suggested quietness and rest. We walked clown to the water's edge where we could see the falls, and sat down on a huge boulder. The noise of the rushing water wasn't noise to us—it suggested some hidden power — it made you feel as well as see. nature, it made you know there was much good in this world, it made you wish all kinds f good things for all your friends, and it carried your thoughts to home and mother.

"When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, The other side was all he could see." The Normal went over the mountain, but many grand and glorious things it did see. Why do people so exert themselves? Do we strive and battle with such an undertaking for the sake of victory in rivalry? Do the people who ascend Church or Lookout Mountains have the sole purpose of reaching the top? If such were the case, I fear we would find no; well worn path up these steep inclines; nay, nor any other. By the sweat of our brow we toil to achieve a little higher pinnacle in order to have a better perspective, and each time when veiwing it we have a feeling of dissatisfaction and turn to climb to the next point. At last we reach the summit where we can see the great beyond. Our feeling of rapture is expressed by one word — " Oh! " After drinking of what is before us, we turn and reflect on what is behind. We pause a moment in the grandeur of the summit and then descend. The true cycle of life. SHOE CLEARANCE A sale of shoes of vital importance to every woman or child in Bellingham or the immediate vicinity, involving superior grades of Oxfords, Pumps and High Shoes. Radical price concessions on every pair. Failure t ovisit this department during this clearance will be overlooking the most important footwear bargain event of the season. MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated WHERE QUALITY MEETS' THE SECOND MILE " If a man require of thee one mile, go with him twain." Harry Emerson Fosdick gives us the most beautiful side of this thought. There is no compulsion in pleasurable service. We feel it our duty to do a thing, but. going only so far as we are obliged. We thus miss the pleasure unless we add our measure of unasked service — the second mile. If we stop at the end of the first mile then duty is pur master and not our servant. WALK AWAY THE BLUES Did you ever take a walk to drive away the blues ? Try it the next time you feel an attack coming on. Get out into the woods. Listen, observe, examine and imagine when next you think of your trouble, lo! it has dwindled to a mole hill and the blues are gone. WORK AND PLAY dents who play and have no time for work; there are other students who know the meaning of " all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," or "All play and no work gives Jane a low grade." . There must of course be a great deal of conscientious study, if students are later to teacli facts to little children and understand child nature. But a great deal more than this is expected of the teacher. First of all, she must share the children's fun. It is her business to see that the schoolroom,.is not a place where they will dread t o ' come, but rather a place where joy and sunshine go hand in hand with work. The student who finds time for much real pleasure along with her work, will find time as a teacher for pleasure with the children. of the darkness which has preceded it. In the night we sleep but with the first ray of dawn life begins its real activity. Heed not commands from out of the darkness; wait until the light shows the speaker's face. THAT DAY WHEN "Eat, drink and be merry." Excellent advice. Have as good a time as the law allows. Play hard and be happy, but remember, the day of reckoning is hovering in the distance. Some day as we frolic along our rollicking way, we'll overtake it. And then we'll pay! Pay! Pay! Oh, well, who cares? It's in the distance. We're too near-sighted from gazing at the pleasures about us to see the grim distance. We'll continue to play till that day when — And then we'll pay! • — B. C.

Whether that darkness be atmospherical or mental, it is the same today, tomorrow arid forever. Light shines on, leaving never a trace MOUNTAIN CLIMBING Did yon ever start out.in the morning to climb Mt.' Baker with a feeling of conquering the world? The sun was just beginning to tinge the east with color, and it seemed there was enough freshness and coolness in the world to last a thousand years. You tied on your pack and fairly ran up the first little hill, so eager were you to be the first to the top. But soon you began to puff and pant like a Ford with no gas, and to wish that some of the coolness at the bottom of the mountain would please rise. Next thing you know there is a sore spot on your heel, or your whole foot and then some. But you keep on and finally get there to gaze around at the world below: Is it worth while ? Well I guess, for truly " Beyond the Alps lies Italy." • ~ BE CONTENTED The great secret of contentment is to get out of each moment all that satisfaction it holds. It is a great mistake for one to waste time in restlessly looking for what the next moment may bring. I have seen people traveling or walking who never enjoyed or hardly saw the things they had come to see, besause they were always planning what they were to do next. This is the same thing that occurs in our clas srooms, waiting until the bell rings, planning what tc do next and not noticing what tilings they are to accomplish. There are people whose minds are occupied all winter with the summer's plans and all summer with the winter's, plans. They never really live at all. Mothers and teachers should teach the children not only to be quiet and contented, but to seem so. They should be taught to give their whole attention to what they are doing, even if it were talking with a friend. — M. X. TENNIS In two weeks we are going to stage the tennis tournament for school championship honors. Is everybody ready? If you don't know how to play just join one of the tennis classes and in a couple weeks' time you may develop into an expert and win a letter. If you do know how to play, maybe you'd better get out and practice up a little. There will be contests in men's singles and doubles, ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. Select your partners now and let's all sign up when the tournament call is sounded. You never can tell who'll win — so let's all try. — BABE •:• BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building Gladys and Nina Roach paid Mrs. Bever a prolonged visit at the hospital Saturday.

Fried bacon, potatoes, pickles, mince pie four inches thick and some of that coffee that is known only to the boys and their friends, made up the bill of fare. Pruner visited the Great Northern station again Sunday afternoon. We understand that Wiseman, our ball player, was in Sedro-Woolley over the week end, again. Some day we will find out why and let you know. Since Bartruff left our castle " Mac " has been a very good boy. As far as we know he hasn't gone to bed later than 1:30 A. M. for over a week. Keep it up, "Mac." Owing to a misunderstanding we forgot to mention our party that was held nearly two weeks ago. As this was such a " success" in every way fe feel it our duty to do so now. Friday, July 9th, we entertained a group of our friends. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and everyone left at an " early" hour, hoping we would entertain again soon. We wish to thank our housemother, Mrs. Lynch, for her help in turning failure into success. There may be better hostesses than she, but we are " from Missouri." GEROLD HOUSE Etta Valentine and Myrtle and Maude Sexton spent Sunday in Vancouver, B. C. Mable Lewis spent the week end at Custer, Washington, and Lois Pickard in Seattle. Sunday afternoon several of the girls went to Dr. Payne's lecture at Elizabeth Park, after which we enjoyed a walk through the park taking " snap shots." —VERA ROCENE HARRISON HOUSE Welcome! Miss Morgan, to our fam- Miss Steward, of Mount Vernon, spent the week end with Beryl White and Romayn Gilbert. Eunice Stevens' folks ^ visited her. Come again, Mr. Stevens., and bring some more eats. Jeanette Gilniore, of Ten Mile, spent the week end at home. Elizabeth and Ellen Wesen spent the week with Anna Taube. They also took part in climbing Mt. Baker. We all think that those who climbed Mt. Church should get one credit in Physical Ed. The three piker's of our house who could not go on the Glacier trip were Mrs. Crane, Miss Morgan and Beryl White. NICHOLS HALL Alice Satre, Gertrude Reese and Anna Keating enjoyed a picnic dinner at Fern-dale Sunday. Elva Neander spent the week end at her home in Seattle. Esther Gunderson and Myrtle Loe were, dinner guests of Alice Sater and Gertrude Reese, Wednesday evening. Laura Bangle and Esther Olson spent the week end at the former's home in Nooksack. Anna Keating and Gertrude Reese returned home Saturday evening after a most delightful trip to Glacier, tired but rhappy and full of interesting tales of "jtheir climb up Church Mountain. Vera Dunbar and Narcissa Collins spent the week end at Vera's home at Mount Vernon. Calista Washburn enjoyed a visit from her mother, Mrs. Washburn, and her aunt, Mrs. Lewis, this week end. Clara Sachtler spent the. week end with friends at Ferndale. Amy Jones left this week for her home in Cashmere, after spending some time with her sister, Ada. Elenore Mead was a member of a jolly party who enjoyed a trip to Friday Harbor, Sunday.

JENKINS HALL Tuesday, July 13th, Paulist Choir at the American. All " 13' of us went and decorated part of the front row of the gallery. No. " 13" is lucky so far as rushing " Peanut Gallery " is concerned. Mrs. Miller, of the Y. W. C. A., conducted the Bible Study out on the lawn this Wednesday. Saturday morning there were eight ambitious, active, happy girls arose bright and early and started on the Glacier trip. We all climbed Church Mountain with the exception of Bee Bumford and Lillie Becken. Poor girls! They got lost on the lonely mountain side and could not find the rest of the hikers. The best part of it was — they had most of the lunch. Saturday night about 9:00 o'clock there were eight tired, sunburned and dusty girls climbed the stairs and decided to retire early. We all voted that it was the best time ever, though. Laura Sterling, who went to her home in Seattle last Friday, is reported to be very ill. We hope to see her among us soon. Helen Matson is a full-fledged " Rural Lifer" now. She was initiated last Thursday night. Frances Gallacher, her roommate, did all she. could to initiate her properly. Helen Matson's parents motored to Bellingham Sunday, taking Helen home with them. She came back Monday A. M. and told us all about the "ham and eggs" she had for breakfast. Wasn't she cruel? Myrtle, Olga and Frances were at Whatcom Falls Sunday P. M. Lillie Becken was a guest at a chicken dinner at the home of friends in Bellingham on Sunday. Some of our girls who are going to take teacher's examinations have organized a review class which meets every evening. The girls gain lots of help in this way. Clara Jenson and Clara Willard were visitors at Jenkins Hall on Sunday evening. Helen was real happy last night. She received two letters yesterday morning so they probably could explain if they could talk. . FIVE-2-FIVE Life has been worth living here for the past week. Birthdays and boxes helped out. Edna Leatherwood passed another milestone last Wednesday and her sister, Amanda, came to help her celebrate, bringing a grip of good eats with her. Edna and Amanda with Ola Haysom, Mertle Major and Helen Edwards to help them went to the beach to test Amanda's cookery, and oh, how good it. was after a dip in the bay. The food was worth the justice rendered it. The following day, Audrey Mackey received a box containing wonders. Still another box came for Mertle Major Monday and proved that another sister can cook. We were glad these girls were so generous with their cakes. The week end was filled with welcome events. Merle Annis and Geneva Pra-ther had an auto ride to Sultan, their home. Gertrude Jackson visited friends and also visited Birch Bay for entertainment. Ola Haysom was carried off to Ever-son one evening. Georgia McKenzie visited one of her host of friends this time near Marietta. Eugenia Ellis had a friend, Bertha Sundeen, with her, who came up for the Baker trip. Bertha went with her sister to Nooksack Falls and keenly enjoyed her day. The Baker trip entirely overshadowed other things for two members of our house. Helen Edwards and Mertle Major with Frances Wingfield and another friend, landed at Glacier with a train full of other Normalites. They chose Baker. Trail as most promising, having scaled Church in past summers. If anyone wants a trip that has beauty and cool comfort every step of the way, take the Baker Trail through a western forest of moss-hung trees. Take it not too fast to enjoy it, but follow a stream if you wish, as they did. The trail leads on to the mountain peak itself, but this group called a halt at a beautiful falls and after a feast of berries hurried back down grade to a scrumptious picnic dinner waiting at Glacier. This Baker trip is our last item, but Avas not least in real experience. Ask Mertle or Helen. EDENS HALL Have you heard -of. the "Pancake Club"? They're good — those cakes•— and we had a very happy Sunday with such a satisfying starter. The finish was mighty good, too — birthday cake at Squalicum. Ruth Ogren was kind enough to furnish the birthday. Min Bergstrom and Margaret Lewis surprised the crowd by presenting the cake decorated with streamers to which gifts for each one were attached. Ruth McLeod enjoyed the week end at her home in Langley. Hazel Berger was a guest at the wedding of Miss Maude Elliott in Seattle on Friday evening. She returned Monday morning. Anna Myer and Bertha Haines entertained a few of the girls at Sunday evening supper. An impromptu " orchestra " delighted the group with several numbers. Miss Woodard, Ethel Claypoole, Willie Wood, Margaret Heimdahl, Ellen Ab-rams and Vyra Ullfers survived, we are happy to state, the Mt. Baker trip. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLY The Glacier trip has come and gone but according to Lois Van Houton and Irene Johnson, the effects of it are with us yet. Thunder and lightning! Sunday evening Irene Johnson was forced to wait patiently on the wrong side of Lake Whatcom for the storm to pass away, Daisy Blue and Dorothy Scheel spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Charles Yule, of Bellingham. Cherries, big and black and luscious! Girls can too climb trees. Who says they can't? CEDARS For sale or exchange — One heel adorned with a healthy, flourishing blister about one inch long and half as wide. One pair of knees which creak badly if moved suddenly. One elbow which was used as a skee in the descent of Church Mountain and became slightly damaged therefrom. One well-done (sunburned) neck, fat, to trade for a thin one. Maybe a thin one wouldn't be so hard to keep in the shade! These are a few of the adjustments which we would like made since our trip to Glacier and points adjacent, last Saturday. v But sore heads ? No, not one! Is everybody happy? Of course. Was it worth while? A hundred times YES. And, please note, a Cedarite was the very first girl to the top of Church. So that our athletic development may not be limited to hiking, Emma is taking up tennis and swimming. One of her feature stunts is to stand with her back to the water and deliberately fall in. This is very hard on the other poor fishes who happen to be near, but it's great sport for Emma. Miss Effie Garritson, Edna and Nellie Morris' aunt from Kokomo, Indiana, has been visiting relatives out here. Saturday she enjoyed the hike with us. Dora Andrus, from Seattle, spent a few days with Bertha Gould. — HELEST LEMXEY BERNICE HALL There are two new fellows at Bernice Hall now, "Bill" Horst and "Hank" Patey. We were all sorry to see Mr. Gil-breath leave. The Waffle Club is progressing nicely. We have one or two initiation nights each week. The other evening Mr. Roe was in swimming down at the beach. It started to rain, so Roe, afraid of getting his bathing' suit wet, ran for the nearest shelter. Have you heard about the cave man adventures of Mr. Brown on Church Mountain? It's more exciting than the episode entitled, " Sultan Happy Brown, of Omarscow." We notice that Mr. Bowsher is now taking a course in campustry. Why is it that we so seldom see him alone now? Dan Johnston has been showing us some tricks that he learned from some " educators down in a pool hall." Thank you for your attention. That's all. —J. H. GRIGGS BEVER HOUSE Frances Erickson spent the week end at her home in Everett, returning to our humble roof Sunday evening. She says it was hard to break away, but Normal ties are strong, you know. Victoria has posed as a martyr to a splendid cause since Saturday night. Her blisters and stiff limbs testify to the fact that she reached the very top of Church Mountain. Elizabeth Delduca also made the top and without any serious injuries. Oza and Anita have not decided as yet who climbed the furtherest but each did her share not missing any of the wonderful scenery which one revels in while climbing Church Mountain. Jessie and Dorothy kept the home fires burning while we " younger " members of the happy family climbed and sweat and climbed some more with the school " excursioners." Glennie McBain visited over the week end with Erma Keeney at the home of the latter's grandmother in Ferndale. We have heard most thrilling reports of good eats, splendid fun, etc. Oza Myers, not being completely overcome by the activities of Saturday, visited at Birch Bay Sunday with Mabel Calhoun. Elizabeth Delduca visited Sunday at the home of Mrs. Genevieve Smith, of this city. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 6 ---------- 6 ! THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 MT. BAKER ANNUAL EXCURSION AN EVENT IN HISTORY O FB. S. N. (Continued from page i.) grims. The one thing that the writer marvels at is that human beings can consume so much water. On our arrival at the Falls some partook of sumptious repasts which adequately satisfied ravenous appetites. The odor of boiling coffee and roasting weinies is one not soon to be forgotten. Many, however did not lunch until after having reached the top. The view from the meadows was one which inspired awe and Avonder. Still more wonderful was the scenery from the topmost pinnacle of Church Mountain with Mt. Baker on one side, range upon range of mountains on the other, and snow underneath. The weary pilgrims who had toiled'so faithfully over the last grinding mile certainly felt that the reward was ample. Each climber was loathe to turn back as he cast one longing look over the vast expanse of God's handiwork. And so with a little song of peace in our hearts we plunged from the Meadows in the sweet scented evergreens to emerge, only too soon, into the sunlight of every day affairs again. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN TBIP The 1920 Glacier excursion is now a thing of the1 past, but there are many pleasant memories for those of the group who went to Lookout Mountain. We had intended going to Roosevelt Glacier but when the trail divided every one took the wrong one. We had scarcely started when the party began to separate and those used to mountain hiking forged on ahead. When we reached the top everyone felt repaid for the three hour climb, for the view of Mt. Baker was magnificent. After a' short rest we went down .the hill to a small snow field. The whole party indulged in a snow battle to the accompaniment of clicking cameras. Mr. Kibbe has an excellent picture of the equator at close range. On the west slope of the mountain there was a small snow field and everybody indulged in a slide. Mr. Bancroft made a quick descent and collided with a log. At 2:45 we began the reutrn ti'ip, but before we had gone far Miss Onstine appropriated a pair of shoes belonging to Mr. Kibbe and they were a perfect fit. Those who made the trip were Misses Onstine, Gerber, Comer, Her re, Fitzgerald, Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Van Horn, Mr. Burley, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Burklund. On the whole, as Mr. Kibbe termed it, " We just had a ' kid' of a time." Organizations Y. W. C. A. A large number of girls were present at the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday to hear a delightful and inspiring message given by Mr. Thompson, a representative of the Inland Missionary Association. In his message he told us of the many hundreds of Chinese and Africans who have been converted and yet there were millions who were not yet converted. He also told what it means to be a missionary in a foreign field and what wonderful work and experience it is. His message was closed by urging the girls to enter this field if they felt the call, and we are certain that some did feel the call to this field after listening to such a wonderful lecture. Beach, we organized a club called the " LLL" or Loyal Lads and Lassies. Our officers are as follows: Margaret Penny cook, president; Frank Sather, vice-president, and Dorothy Snider, secretary and treasurer. The club plans to have picnics as long as the weather is good, and also to hold helpful meetings at each others homes every other Tuesday. Margaret Penny-cook will entertain the club at her home, 319 Magnolia Street, July 27th from 2 to 4 P. M. — DOROTHY SNIDER, Secretary-Treasurer. NORMAL GRADUATE WEDS The announcement of the wedding of Miss Annie Luella Airth and Mr. John H. Bren has come to the office of the president. Miss Airth is a graduate from the Normal in 1915. The wedding occurred July 16 at the Methodist church on Calle Avellaneda, Crnnaguey, Cuba. MISS MAUDE ELLIOTT WEDS PHILOMATHEANS The Philomathean Literary Society will enjoy a week end party August 6th, 7th and 8th at the.home of Mr. Kolstad on Lake Whatcom. RURAL LIFE Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, the Rural Lifers held a business and social meeting in room 130. The business meeting was short and the social meeting long. The entertainment included a reading by Grace Petitclerc, a mock trial, in which no thinking was allowed and a reading by Mrs. Anderson. From there the scene was removed to the small gymnasium where the new members were made to " ride the goat." Every device from drowning to electrocuting was employed. If the victims lived through :'t, they emerged full-fledged Rural Lifers. Thirteen went in and thirteen came out, withstanding the persecution royally. To be a Rural Lifer is to be a live wire .alright. CLUB ORGANIZED on our 6A Class picnic On Friday evening, July 16, at 7:45 o'clock, Miss Maude Elliott and Mr. Ralph Kugelman were married in Seattle at the home of Mrs. Oliver. The bride is one of the 1920 June graduates from Bellingham Normal, and was of the Edens Hall group while here. Mr. and Mrs. Kugelman have gone to their summer home on Lake Washington. Later they will be at home in Aberdeen. BELLINGHAM AN IDEAL SPOT Have you ever stopped to think what a wonderful place Bellingham is. With such scenery as this place offers, is it any wonder that this ideal spot was chosen for our school? What could give you more of an inspiration to study than beautiful surroundings? Then, again, where could you find more pleasure to indulge in than swimming, rowing, camping, tennis and many other sports that are ours to indulge in? Bellingham is a place that we would all be proud to call our home, and as long as we are here it is our home. Therefore, we must all help to keep it beautiful. — MARGUERITE FOYE While last | Thursday, July 15th, 1920, at Chuckanut BROAVN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building A FINE LINE OF LADIES' WRIST WATCHES THAT WILL APEAL TO NORMAL SCHOOL GIRLS Muller Asplund Jewelers Next to First National Bank Gage- Dodson Co.

Mr. Philippi, our lecture course chairman, received the following communication from Dean C. R. Maxwell, of the University of Wyoming: "Madame Barad scored great success last night She is a wonderful artist. Expectations more than realized." A student who has heard. Madame Zarad accounts: " Of all the real good things. I heard while attending Marquette Normal College two years ago, nothing impressed me like Madame Zarad's rich, high soprano and her charming personality. YE FATE OF YE SCHOOL MA'AM It was on an evening lonely, When a school ma'am, sad and lonely Dropped her school books with a yearning sigh; Was there not within the jungles, Some quiet spot within the-jungles Where Nepenthe, that arch-wooer, might reside? Straightway hastened toward the sunset, Toward the crimson purpling sunset, Through the narrow, dark'ning fringe of forest pine. There awaited her Nepenthe, All forgotten, save Nepenthe, Trouble, sorrow and all else beside. Now she wanders through the pine trees, Singing soft, beneath the pine trees Dreaming, happy, thinking not of books and cares. While the people, sad and sorry, Say in whispers, shocked and sorry, She is foolish, poor dear creature, And beyond our worldly prayers. — MARY AGATHA NIGHT By CARRIE WHITTIER Softly the darkness falls on land and sea, The sun is slowly sinking out of sight, Clothing the world in darkness — and the lea — Is all bathed in marvelous light. Just now the bay was robed in beauty bright Reflecting myriad hues, But fast the golden rays have sunk from sight — Changed all to blues. The night comes swiftly now on purply wings, The soft blue hues so quiet change to black, Night gently reigns — and in a low voice sings Her lullaby — no sweet thing doth earth lack. THE CHARGE OF THE NATURE STUDENTS Half a day, half a day, half a day outward, Cross the school campus, strode the brave hundred, Armed with a rake and hoe, Grasping a pail or two. Into the glare of day, into the heat of noon Strode the brave hundred. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs but to plant or die, E'en though the whole class knew they would be roasted. But when the fall class arrives, And beans and corn are ripe, The fall class shall reap the work Of the brave hundred. And when in years to come The robins and wrens come home Back to our campus, There they shall find a house Paid for through sweat brows Of these great farmers, Brave, honored students. — MARY AGATIIA OUR MOTHER Is there anyone else in the world so dear As Mother? Can anyone comfort and cheer Like Mother? When the sky is dark and the world goes wrong- She brightens us up with a smile and song — Our Mother. Is there anyone so good to you, Patient, loving, thoughtful and true As Mother? She makes home cheerful, bright and gay, She smiles, helps and sings all through the day — Our Mother. O, how she helps and guides us through life, Shielding us from cares and strife — Our Mother. Where e'er we go to the very end We'll always find her a faithful friend — Our Mother. So let us give praises to our Father above For the tender care and infinite love Of Mother. I wonder if we really appreciate our mothers and their efforts to help us as much as we should. Are we not likely to become careless in our attentions to our mothers; and spend our time and money on those, who do not care for us as our mothers do? How much mothers enjoy letters and remembrances from children away from home. Even though you are no longer a child — you may be twenty, yes, even thirty or more'— mother still thinks of you as her girl or her boy. Your ambitions, success, achievements are all of vital interest to her, though perhaps you do not realize it. • How often we hear the expression, " I have been so busy I didn't write home this week." Did you stop to think how disappointed mother would be when the postman came day after day with no news from her absent boy or girl? Mothers appreciate other attentions as well as letters. We spend so much money on luxuries for ourselves and friends, yet we seem to forget mother likes candy and flowers, etc., as well as we do. I think it would be a splendid thing if we would deny ourselves some luxury, candy or shows for example, and send mother some little remembrance as well as a letter each week. We shall always find young friends but we will not always have our mothers with us and I'm sure we can never find another friend like "Mother." — JESSIE O. MOSELEY If words of thine have cheered one failing heart, Kindled anew one fading altar fire, Thy work is not a failure; clouds are touched That shall reach from the angel choir. BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building MY NEIGHBOR'S CHICKENS Of all the things that make rural life accursed, My neighbor's chickens take the prize for being, the very worst. I sometimes plant a flower bed, and as soon as I'm away Those cunning hens march in to spend the day. Around our place is little seen, except holes and dirt, They eat the grass before it's green, and all my flowers hurt. My neighbor has a garden too; he keeps it looking fine, For he has trained his pirate crew to march over and eat mine. HIGHLAND CREAMERY CONFECTIONERY, ETC. H. A.

Harold Marshall (sitting in front row): " Oh, no they don't; look at me." IT DIDN'T WORK An Irishman was sitting in a station smoking when a woman came in and sitting down beside him remarked: " Sir, if you were a gentleman you would not smoke, here." " Mum," he said, " if you wuz a lady you'd sit farther away." Pretty soon the woman burst out again, " If you were my husband, I'd give you poison." " Well, mum," returned the Irishman as he puffed away at his pipe, "If you wuz me wife, I'd gladly take it." " Why did you take Elnora away from school, Aunt Mandy? " a lady asked her cook one day. Aunt Mandy sniffed scornfully. " Caus' de teacher ain't satisfact'ry to me. What do yu reckon she tell dat chile yestiddy? She low that IV spell four, when even an idjut 'ud know it spell ivy." Why does a duck go into the water? To liquidate her bill. Why does she come out? To make a run on the bank. Who was the straightest man in Bible days? David was, because the Pharaoh made a ruler out of him. When was the first tennis game played? When David served in Pharaoh's court. The library is to be closed during the warm weather, as the librarian is afraid the magazines will blow up. Mr. Kolstad: " Who was that who laughed out loud? " Junior: "I did, but I didn't mean it." • - Mr. Kolstad: "You didn't mean i t ?" Junior: "Yes, sir; I laughed up my sleeve, and I didn't know there was a hole at my elbow."

Farmer: "I'll give you five dollars a day to help me dig potatoes. You can start now." Dusty Rhodes: "Guess you'd better do it alone, mister. You planted 'em, so you know where they are." Pinckney: "The dentist told me I had a large cavity that needed filling." Primer: "Certainly, and did he recommend a special course of study? " Brown: "I understand that Senator Green wanted you to act as his private secretary." Simmons: " He did, but I wouldn't accept the position because I should have to sign everything, ' Green, per Simmons.' " Perhaps the man who celebrated his 131st birthday recently in Louisville, Kentucky, can remember the time when the. butchers gave away liver. Mrs. O'Rourke (to charitable old Mr. O'Neil, who is giving away poultry to the needy): "Long life to yer honor; sure I'll never see a goose agin but I'll think of yez." A novel reason for discipline was that vouchsafed by a child whose school record was a grief to his parents. " Tommy," said his teacher, one day in despair, " why do you think I scold you so much ? " " 'Cause you get sort of fretful keeping school," was the evidently honest and quite unexpected reply. The stingiest man was scoring the hired man for his extravagance in wanting to carry a lantern in going to see his girl. " The idea ! " he scoffed, " When I was courtin' I never carried no lantern; I went in the dark." The hired man proceeded to fill the lantern. " Yes," he said sadly, " and look what you got." HYGIENIC POVERTY A young lady in this state went to the bank to get her monthly check cashed. The paying teller, as he counted the cash out deftly, said: " I'm sorry not to be able to give you clean new bills, miss. I hope you're not afraid of microbes." "Oh, no, I'm not afraid of them," said the young lady cheerfully. " No microbes could live on my salary." L. E.: "Give me a penny's worth of mixed candies." Clerk: " Here are two, you can mix them yourself." A Senior to a Junior: " I don't care if you step on my feet, but please don't linger on them." Jack: "Say," boy, you're dog bit me on the ankle." Tom: " Well, that is as high as he can reach. You wouldn't expect a little pup like him to bite you on the neck, would you ?

Another rap and I thought I'll see :if he can fool me, I'll just scare you a little. So, gently I tiptoed to the door, thrust out my head and cried, " Boo, you little imp. I know who you are." Picture my embarrassment on seeing the new pastor instead of my husband. President (at meeting): " Now I want you boys to be so quiet that you could hear a pin drop." . Small voice (at rear of room when everything was quiet) : "Let 'er 'drop ! " A girl who lived in Bellingham Had a pa who was crabbed and stern. He'd startle young, men By appearing at ten And saying, " I move we adjourn." Teacher: "Let us air try to keep together in singing." Bright pupil: "I am together." We believe Mr. Kibbe is trying to imitate Sir Walter Raleigh. Instead of laying his coat down for a young lady to step on to cross a mud hole he loaned her one of his shoes.

G-P generators under scrutiny 7 got up from my nap and went to go get my jacket from my car and my car was gone.' Jessica Ryan-Seale Western student The pattern of the type of cars stolen has led police to believe the same people are responsible for the thefts, Richards said. However, no arrests have been made. The chance of recovery for stolen cars is 50 percent. The cars used for parts will probably never be found, Richards said. Jessica Ryan-Seale had her 1985 Toyota Camry stolen from her North Forest Street residence sometime between 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 24. Ryan-Seale's car has yet to be recovered.

The Bellingham City Council will hear from environmental regulatory agencies and G-P's environmental experts at its Thursday meeting that will address concerns about G-P diesel generators. By Stephanie Kosonen THE WESTERN FRONT Potential health issues regarding Georgia-Pacific's use of diesel generators discussed at the Jan. 22 city council meeting generated enough concern to convince the Bellingham City Council to hear presentations from the Department of Ecology, Northwest Air Pollution Authority and G-P's environmental experts Thursday. The groups will present information regarding pollution, health and G-P's plan for power sources. The public is invited to attend, but no public testimony will be taken. "(The environment) is one of the main interests of the corporation," said Mark Cockrell, manager of environmental affairs at G-P.

Jennings THE WESTERN FRONT About 12 percent of Western food service employees, including those who work in the Viking Commons and Viking eateries in Viking Union, Arntzen Hall, Miller Hall and the Sub-connection, either do not have food handler's permits or have expired permits. This means that one in every nine Western food employees, including clerks at these eateries, are not licensed to handle food.

Arizen is one of the eight eateries that serves students on campus. Brendan Manning/The Western Front Co. raised G-P's energy rates from $35 per megawatt hour to $100 per megawatt hour. Cockrell said at that point, Q-P employees thought the higher rates were simply a result of a summer shortage. However, "It went absolutely crazy in the fall," Cockrell said. In the fall, PSE started charging G-P $3,500 per megawatt hour for power.

Nineteen-year-old Gerardo Chavez-Ibarra is recovering from the amputations and open-heart surgery he underwent in Arlington. The bite was especially damaging because of a pre- existing bacterial infection, which damaged a valve in Chavez-Ibarra's heart. He apparently suffered the bite while sleeping. Charges filed in murder of foreign bride EVERETT - Prosecutors have filed murder charges in the death of a mail-order bride. Snohomish County prosecutors have charged Daniel Kristopher Larson with first-degree murder. Larson is a 20-year-old sex offender who was staying in the home of Indie Bong Jr. and his wife, Anastasia King. Anastasia disappeared in September and was found dead two months later. Prosecutors said Larson killed the woman at the direction of her husband. Prosecutors claim Larson strangled Anastasia King with a necktie and that Indie King helped him. Anastasia King was from the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan. She came to Washington two years ago to marry Indie King and was a University of Washington student. A memorial service for her took place on Sunday in Seattle. NATIONAL NEWS Man kills five in workplace shooting MELROSE PARK, HL - The nation's latest spasm of workplace violence has left five people dead and four wounded. Authorities said a former Navistar employee â€” who was supposed to start a prison term Tuesday for stealing from the company â€” opened fire at a company truck plant near Chicago. Officials confirm the gunman - identified as William Baker - is among the five dead. They will not be providing any further information until more is certain. Baker was supposed to surrender to authorities to begin a five-month sentence. He had pleaded guilty last year to a charge of conspiracy to commit theft from an interstate shipment. Two of the people injured are in critical condition. New drug aids in fat fight WASHINGTON - A study performed at Mass. Institute of Technology states that an injected drug that causes muscles to burn fat at a high rate may offer hope for controlling extreme obesity. The study shows that obese mice lost weight despite eating unlimited amounts of a high-calorie, fatty diet. But a researcher says the drug is far from ready to be tested on people. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Survivors found in Indian earthquake BHUJ, India - Two people who were found trapped in their home in India Monday â€”10 days after it was damaged by the country's devastating earthquake â€” are apparently in good shape. Rescuers said they were taken to a clinic, where both were strong enough to walk - and they apparently then left to be reunited with relatives. Soldiers found the two in a home that had sustained severe damage to the ground floor, blocking the entrance. They saw the man waving through the grill of a second story window. The man was able to walk and talk, but the woman was weaker. All she had eaten since Jan. 26 was cereal. Their home was in Bhuj, one of the towns worst affected by the earthquake. Officials said more than 17,000 bodies have been pulled from the debris. Disneyland Hong Kong turns up old bombs HONG KONG - Officials in Hong Kong are working to ensure that people don't have a blast at Disneyland - at least not a literal one. Police said workers dredging to reclaim land for the future theme park are turning up a huge harvest of old bombs.

Everyone has it. Everyone needs it. Western's winter quarter blood drive runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. The drive is being organized by SHAIC and Western's health center and will take place in the Viking Union 565. The blood drive is run through The Puget Sound Blood Program, which plays a vital role in meeting the needs of patients in the community. The non-profit organization provides blood and blood components to 50 hospitals and clinics in 11 Washington counties. Across the United States, someone needs blood every three seconds. More than 50,000 patients each year in the Puget Sound region are helped from the blood of about 120,000 community donors to the Blood Program. People need blood for a variety of medical procedures such as surgery, cancer therapy and treatment of heart disease. Persons involved in trauma emergencies, such as burns and auto accidents, often also require large quantities of blood and blood components. Because whole blood can be stored for only 35 days,, and platelets â€” small cells in the blood that control bleeding â€” for 3-5 days, blood donations are always needed, according to the PSB program. Anyone who is at least 18 years old, weighs at least 110 pounds and is in good health may donate blood every 56 days. Only sterile, disposable equipment is used throughout the donation process, which makes it virtually impossible to contract a disease from donating blood. Since 1985, more than one million transfusion have been prepared at the Puget Sound Blood Program.

The We Can program is designated to eliminate the myth that everyone drinks in college. Through on-campus marketing and the work of 200 student lifestyle advisers, We Can informs people that 84 percent of students drink responsibly or don't drink at all. "Most of our students make healthy decisions about their lives," Fabiano said. "There is always a group that puts themselves at risk though."

Lifestyle advisers hold mocktail parties By Christina Schrum THE WESTERN FRONT Each Thursday of this month students from the residence halls are invited to participate in a nonalcoholic Mocktail Party. The parties, which are sponsored by local organizations on campus, are helping inform students about the influences of drugs and alcohol.

The party includes music and dancing along with snacks and mixed drinks provided by the Marriott.

Lindsay Forrey Director of Drug Infoimation Center lifestyle adviser, said the parties are designed to help students realize that it's okay to drink and have fun as long as they are being responsible. During the night, demonstrations and games are put on by the Sexual Awareness Center and the campus organization, Party Safe. For example, students compete in a "Family Feud" game containing questions about sex. Also, students can play drinking games and test their abilities with Fatal Vision Goggles, which are meant to simulate the impairment of being drunk. Throughout the night, students are involved in discussing party scenarios and what to do in those types of situations. They also participate in discussion on overdosing and tips on sexual harassment. Forrey said last quarter more than 70 students from Kappa attended the mocktail party and more than 60 had attended the party held at Fairhaven. The next party is at 7 p.m. Thursday at Fairhaven.

Lignin is the material in wood that holds the tree fibers together. It is used to make ethanol, gasoline, vinegar and perfume. The diesel generators providing the power for these products is the subject of recent concern, and now G-P has 40 of them on-site. Cockrell said the former 16 were too small. The new ones are also used in Texas and California during the summer, so G-P officials hope they won't need them after this spring. "It's gonna cost us if we go into the summer," Cockrell said. After a G-P containerboard mill in Monticello, Miss, won several awards for environmental excellence, Tim Jones, environmental engineer at the mill, said, "We're no different from any other G-P facility in that we first consider the safety aspects of everything we do, and then any environmental issues. Before we do any papermaking, we do these things. Everyone here supports this philosophy, and they respond to a challenge." According to G-P's Web site, "Georgia-Pacific will audit, on a rotating basis, environmental performance and management systems at every manufacturing facility the company owns or operates. The company will use a combination of internal and third-party audits." Cockrell said every year a book is sent to each facility, breaking down areas for the audit and leading the auditor through the process. Also, every two years an auditor from another G-P facility will perform the process. Auditors look for potential problems and check record keeping.

Keys THE WESTERN FRONT Western alumnus Carroll Haeske, whose initiative gave Western the Lakewood Recreational Facility, died of viral pneumonia Jan. 28, in Arcadia, Calif, at the age of 96. "Haeske was an interesting individual somewhat of a character," Chris Goldsmith, director of alumni relations said. "He liked to be known as the man who bought Lakewood," Goldsmith said. As Associated Students president from 1921-22 at then Bellingham Normal School, Haeske. persuaded students to purchase 9.8 acres of land on Lake Whatcom for $800. "He grew up on the lake canoeing and loved the water," said Al Froderberg, Haeske's friend and director of Planned Giving and senior adviser to Western President Karen Morse. "His experience on the water was so good for him that he thought it would be good for other (Western students)," Froderberg said. Haeske believed purchasing Lakewood would spark an interest in the college to start a crew program. "He loved crew because it was an excellent amateur sport," Froderberg said. 'His experience on the water was so good for him that he thought it would be good for other (Western students).' A] Froderburg Friend of Haeske's The Lakewood facility located on Lake Whatcom is used by the men's and women's crew teams. The facility has a challenge course and classes in canoeing, kayaking, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. Haeske was a longtime member of The Western Foundation and the Alumni Association. He created an endowment in 1996 to support men's and women's crew. In 1997, he joined a group of investors to purchase a five-acre tract adjacent to Lakewood for $510,000. The facility is used as the crew headquarters and is named the Haeske Crew House after Haeske and his wife Carmelita, who died in 1993. "He was a man who had a sense of humor, quick wit, a man who cared about others," Director of Viking Union Student Activities and friend Jack Smith said. "My understanding is that he was one who was frugal with his money, he always wanting to use it to benefit others in some way," Smith said. 'He was an individual who felt the university made a big impact on his life and prepared him for his studies at the University of Washington and Stanford.' AI Froderburg Friend of Haeske's Haeske was born in a log cabin in Blaine on April 30, 1904 to Richard and Johanna Haeske. He only spoke German until his family moved to Bellingham when he was in the second grade. Haeske funded his education at Bellingham Normal by playing background music for silent films at the local movie theaters -in the afternoons and evenings. Haeske earned his teaching credentials at Bellingham Normal in 1923 and received a Bachelor's degree from the University of Washington in 1924, where he supported himself by playing in a speakeasy during the Prohibition. He then studied literature at Stanford University, where he met his wife." He taught music and English, from kindergarten to the university level, for 43 years, and retired in 1966 after 30 years as a high school teacher in Arcadia. As a music teacher, he played a variety .of instruments which included piano, saxophone, flute, clarinet, piccolo, and a little bit of banjo. Along with his love of music, Haeske loved literature. His love for books was encouraged by Western's first librarian, Mable Zoe Wilson. This interest resulted in an extensive home library that numbered about 10,000 volumes. Haeske also was a collector of fruit trees and planted 150 different types on his Arcadia acreage. "He loved language and liked to be precise in his speech,"Froderberg said. "He loved literature and was an avid reader, he also loved the outdoors." "He was an individual who felt the university made a big impact on his life and prepared him for his studies at the University of Washington and Stanford," Froderberg said. Haeske is survived by his sister Lillian Schultz of Bullhead City, Ariz., his nephew John Schultz of Searchlight, Nev., two grandnephews and his longtime friend, Betty Bell, of Bradbury, Calif. At his request, there was no memorial service.

Cycling to his job in the old section of Bellingham, he said, is a.way of life. That's why, when presented in December with the challenge of coordinating the Pedal Project, he was more than willing to help. Morris, executive director of the project, has encouraged bicycle commuting in Bellingham for four years. The Pedal Project is the latest attempt to get Bellingham residents, out of cars and into bicycle seats in order to clear up traffic congestion. Its function will be to rent bikes to paying members, and to provide information about alternative forms of transportation. In 1992, the Federal' Highway Administration reported only 0.4. percent of all workers in the United States commute by bicycle. With the population booming and cars remaining a major staple of American culture, more highways are being built to accommodate the increased load of cars. 'It's ludicrous that it's happening just to appease motorists when there are bet-. ter ways to alleviate the problem," Morris said of new highway construction. He believes the solution to Bellingham's problem is to follow the examples of other cities, such as Portland, in building a strong community . of cyclists. "(Our community) is choking," he said. "You can't walk, and it's intimidating to ride bikes, even." One past attempt, called the Free Yellow Bike project, was implemented with 75-80 bikes set out at satellite, points in the city, for anyone to ride for free. For about two weeks, the bikes were all over downtown and seemed to be getting a lot of use, he said. After a month, however, the bikes fell victim to abuse, either vandalized or stolen. The Pedal Project will be more like a bike "library," where members will rent out bikes by the day or the week, reducing opportunities for vandalism. This new program adds accountability by keeping a member name database similar to that of a library, and encouraging interaction and cooperation between members. Besides a bike co-op, the Pedal Project also will be a community bike shop and an alternative transportation advocacy resource. Education is the biggest part of it, Morris said, adding that it's a common misconception that driving a car is safer than riding a bike. Janet Marino, secretary of the board of directors for the Pedal Project, said travelling by bicycle gives people a chance to take notice of the outside world. "Single-occupancy vehicles commuting within an urban setting is not a sustainable means for transportation," she said. Stephanie Kosonen/The Western Front Kyle Morris has encouraged alternative commuting for four years. Individuals have donated about 200 bikes to the project and the police department has donated about the same amount. Right now, the bikes are being repaired or disassembled for parts. Morris does the work and is looking for volunteers to help. All the bikes are being housed at the RE Store, where Morris works, while the project seeks a permanent home, preferably in the old town area. "What we really need to do is reduce the demand and need for highways while we provide people with a much wider range of choices," Bill Wilkinson, executive director of the National Center for Bicycling and Walking, said in a CQ Researcher article. The Pedal Project's main mission is to educate people about these choices.

Travel Currency Available ZUN lt; IT R A V EL Serving all of Washington State ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ The Western Front Features February 6, 2001 Sweets Belgian Bakery opens downtown By Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT His hands move constantly. His fingers drum the table. They scratch the chestnut hair that wings out from underneath a puffy white chef's hat. He raises his hands, palms outwards, and, in one quick sweep, waves to unfamiliar people who traverse the sidewalk. His hands move restlessly and relentlessly, as if searching for something to do. As a painter's hands feel most comfortable wrapped around a paintbrush, Olivier Vrambout's hands seem most comfortable dusted with flour, kneading dough. Vrambout, 26, born in Belgium, fulfilled a dream when he opened the Mount Bakery Monday. The patisserie, in , downtown Bellingham, "will feature imported Belgian chocolates as well as Vrambout's handmade pastries. "When I was a kid, I was a fanatic for sweets" Vrambout said, reliving his childhood obsession by accosting a poster advertising Belgian chocolates. The poster, which could cause even a dentist to salivate, is mounted on an accordion screen made from four doors hinged together that separate the Mount Bakery kitchen from its dining area. "I was going to build walls ... but my wife suggested the doors," said Vrambout, who remodeled the store himself. "It's an open kitchen so customers can look in and see what I am doing." When asked what makes Belgian chocolates different from American chocolate, Vrambout responded simply, "Have you ever tried Belgian chocolate?" Apparently, the taste stands alone. Belgian chocolate is creamier than Hershey's, which can be dry, he said. Belgian chocolate also has a sweet tangy aftertaste compared to the more bitter Hershey's. The chocolates, dusted in powdered sugar or filled with nut purees, are mounted in a display case like miniature works of art. Vrambout's croissants, eclairs, napoleons and tarts, dripping with delectable calories, are displayed in another glass case. Vrambout makes the puff pastry in his French baked items from scratch. Making puff pastry is an eight-hour process that will take most of his time, he said. He said he would like to make his own chocolates, but it is time consuming and "an art in itself." Vrambout first sank his hands into dough as a young boy when his grandmother taught him the art of patisserie in Congo, in the kitchen where she baked for a Catholic convent. Vrambout said he still uses some of her secret recipes, especially one for creme brulee, a custard glazed with caramelized sugar. He lived with his grandparents in Congo until he was 7, because his parents were teenagers when he was born. When he turned 7, he moved back to Belgium to live with his parents, but spent his summers in Congo with his grandparents. When he was 14, he moved with his family to Boston. For the next 10 years, he lived in nine states throughout the United States. Today, Vrambout said he and his wife, who is expecting a baby next month, feel rooted in Bellingham. They moved here two years ago, when he started selling his pastries wholesale. "We came here and fell in love with the community right away," he said. He was a chef at Boundary Bay Brewery and then rented the kitchen to bake for his own wholesale business. Selling wholesale to restaurants and coffee shops, like Cruisin' Coffee and Stuart's, has allowed him to lease the building that houses the Mount Bakery at the intersection of Bay Street and Commercial Avenue. Robin Gillmore, an employee at the French bakery La Vie en Rose, said wholesale accounts are plentiful sources of business. The bakery has been on Holly Street since 1989. La Vie en Rose owner Warren Tessler expanded business into more wholesale venues since he bought it last year, Gillmore explained. "We have two storefronts and 42 wholesale accounts," she said. Vivian Haruska, who with her husband owns Sweet Art, a chocolate and fine art shop in downtown Bellingham, said she noticed that food venues are growing downtown. "Half of the downtown is vacant, but what's working. is the food eateries," Haruska said. Vrambout said he would like to create a cooperative among the downtown businesses to organize events and bring more business downtown. But all that will have to wait until after this morning's puff pastry is made. Jennifer Collins/ The Western Front Covered in flour and decked-out in chef's attire, Olivier Vrambout forms the crust of berry pies before the Mount Bakery opened on Monday. The bakery, in downtown Bellingham, will serve decadent Belgian chocolates and delicate pastries. Vrambout has been developing his culinary arts since his grandmother taught him the art when he was a young boy. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 9 ---------- February 6, 2001 Features The Western Front â€¢ 9 At the prick of a finger Students with diabetes find support in Western-sponsored club By Melissa Evavold THE WESTERN FRONT At 8 .a.m., Kat checks the glucose level in her blood by finding a finger not yet too callused to prick. With a quick press of a button, a pen-like tool sends a needle to her finger in less than a second, producing a drop of crimson blood, which she eases onto a thin paper test strip that is inserted into a glucose meter the size of a radar detector. In minutes, this little gadget will tell her what her blood sugar level is. It reads 90. That's good; it should be between 80 and 120. Katherine Grubb was diagnosed with diabetes Oct. 7, 1997, during her freshman year at Western. Type I and type II are the most common forms of diabetes, a disease characterized by a lack of the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and normally converts food into energy. I t is needed for cells to absorb glucose. In people who have diabetes, the pancreas produces little insulin or none at all. In type I diabetes, every cell in the body needs insulin. A person with type I diabetes must take injections every day. In type II diabetes, the pancreas still makes insulin, but not enough. Sometimes the body doesn't absorb the insulin created. Type two is most common in adults who are overweight. Treatment is administered through strict diet, exercise, oral pills or insulin injections. Grubb once regulated her glucose by giving herself four to five shots of insulin per day. Now she uses a pump, a pager-size device which holds a couple days supply of insulin. This supply is connected to a plastic tube which runs to a canulla, a synthetic needle that is constantly in her body, delivering insulin to closely match her pancreas. Grubb uses the buttons on the pump to control the desired milligrams of insulin per one deciliter of blood. "It's my lifeline," she said. "I can't be off it more than 45 minutes to an hour." The canulla is inserted into areas called infusion sites that are "fattier" in tissue and as out of the way as possible. Right now, that tubing hangs from her lower back, secured by adhesive. The pump can be worn outside of her clothes, but she chooses to conceal, it inside a pocket under her shirt. For breakfast, Grubb eats toast, vitamins and juice. After classes and a lunch consisting of a Balance Bar and a few liters of water, she goes to work at the YMGA. In the little time before work, she grabs what she can to eat â€” another granola bar or crackers. She works as a caregiver for 6-and-8-year-old children. Snack time is one of four times during the day she tests her blood sugar. Grubb demonstrates in front of the kids. Their eyes widen as she draws blood and places it on the glucose test strip. Their heads rise as they watch the numbers calculate on the pump. She licks the blood off her finger. Scrunched faces emit "eewws" and "yucks." According to Detroit Free Press, of the 16 million Americans who have diabetes, only 10.3 million have been diagnosed. Symptoms include increased thirst, urination, fatigue and itchiness around the genital area. The direct costs of diabetes treatments are more than twice the costs of cancer and HIV/AIDS combined. Grubb's pump alone costs $5,500. A box full of supplies arrives every three months, costing her $900. Grubb and other diabetic students on campus find support in the Diabetes Club, started in 1997 by Western student Kristin Elde and Jan Rystrom, a diabetes educator and nutritionist. Rystrom is a registered dietitian, employed by Western's student health center. The Diabetes Club meets on campus at 7 p.m. the first Wednesday of every month in Miller Hall 316. "It is to provide a place for people who have diabetes on campus and connect with other people," Rystrom said about the club. 'Teople with diabetes can feel very isolated. It's a disease that hasn't come out of the closet yet." The Diabetes Club volunteers for fundraisers for the American Diabetes Association. Club president Chris Sullivan, who has type I diabetes, said everyone is welcome to the club. "There are times when you feel like no one knows that you are diabetic," Sullivan said. "You miss people asking, 'So how's your blood sugar doing?"' Currently the club has 10 members. "These people with diabetes are tackling a chronic disease with courage and grace," Rystrom said. "They're amazing." Diabetes requires the affected to monitor their bodies throughout the day, even into the night. When it's time to go to bed, Grubb fiddles with her pump, which gives her body insulin while she sleeps. For more information about diabetes, Rystrom is available every Wednesday at the SHAIC.

Kline beat two Cougar defensemen and goalie Chris Sowiago with a wrap-around in the second period to make the score 5-1. Western had 42 shots on goal and Western goalie David Morrill stopped 19 of 20 shots in the game. The Cougars' 24 penalty minutes left them short-handed for most of the second period. "The big thing with them is they have a very good goalie," head coach Mike Bahn said. "The goalie blocked a ton of shots, and score aside he had some great saves." The Vikings continued the scoring barrage with a 9-5 win Sunday afternoon. "It is .always tough to play a late game and then an early game," winger Kylan Mckenzie Terrill Simecki/The Western Front In a losing effort, Cougar Mike Dodson slaps the puck past Western's defense during a power play. said. "The trick is to come prepared the same way as the night before, e s p e c i a l l y when you have a win like we did. We didn't do it, but we pulled it off in the third." It was a different story in the first two periods of the game. W e s t e r n scored first with a goal from winger B r e n d a n Madden. C o u g a r s winger Josh Bain answered with a goal and he then scored on the power play with an assist from Mike Dodson. Western ended the period with Johnson's shorthanded goal. In the second period, WSU controlled the game scoring two goals within 30 seconds of each other to tie the game at 4. The Cougars then took the lead with a goal by Nick Trujillo. The Vikings took over in the third, scoring five goals on 27 shots. Alberg scored the game winner with a nice set up by John Smolenski. Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Western defenseman Chris McPherren bowls over a WSU player during the Viking's 9 to 5 win Sunday. The vikings won both games over the weekend. Western then went on to score three more goals; two from defenseman John Wilson in the last four minutes of the game. The Vikings took 68 shots on goal for the game with six players scoring. "When you play a team like this, it is inevitable you just think you're going to win anyway, regardless of the score," Alberg said. "They're beating us 5-4 coming into the third period, well, we better start scoring." The two wins give Western an 8-8-1 record going into the last weekend of the season. Western will play two games against the University of Oregon, the first at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Sportsplex. The second game of the weekend is Sunday.at 1 p.m. "Oregon is a much better team," Bahn said. 'We just have to cut down on the mistakes and focus and play like we played for two periods today. Trying to play coast to coast against teams like Oregon, it wouldn't work and they will burn you." Roe to head up USA Track and Field Western cross country coach and Woodring professor Bill Roe elected president USA Track and Field for next four years Stephanie Kosonen/The Western Front Professor Bill Roe leads the Western track team at a practice. Roe was recently named president of U.S. Track Field. By Allison Butler THE WESTERN FRONT At the 2000 meeting of the USA Track Field (USATF) in Albuquerque, N.M, Western professor Bill Roe was elected president of the USATF for the next four years. "I thought that it would be really overwhelming to become president, but I have worked there for over 12 years, so it wasn't that bad," Roe said. Roe, 50, has been involved with USATF since 1979 and has also served on the board of directors. His election makes him the only person .in the history of the USATF to serve 16 years as an officer. "Bill Roe has done it all," USATF CEO Craig Masback said. "His range of experience within the USA Track Field is remarkable and he brings to his position a rich perspective and tremendous enthusiasm." Roe coached for Western's men's arid women's cross country and middle distance programs since 1988. Since Roe became a coach at Western, runners have set 22 school records, been All- Americans 21 times and won national scholar athletes honors 14 times. He also was Northwest Regional cross country Coach of the Year in 1995 and received the conference coaching honor in 1997. He shared these with -Tee Wee" Halsell, who Roe assists as coach. When asked why he is so successful, Roe said, "I have good, smart runners." He has worked at Western's Woodring College of Education See ROE, Page 12 SUMMER JOBS!!

The victory followed Western's loss to ' Northwest Nazarene University Thursday, which* halted the Vikings' 26-game home-court winning streak. It was Western's 10th straight win against Seattle. The Vikings maintained the lead throughout the game, opening with a 10-point run, taking advantage of Seattle's 14 first-half turnovers. The Vikings ended the half leading 43-23. The Redhawks tried to come back strong in the second half, but Western's offense remained strong. Western went on a 19-point run early in the half, holding Seattle to 27 points until 11:30 into the second half. Western guard Megan Quarterman's driving layup with 4:54 to go gave the Vikings a 49-point lead, the largest of the night. The bench scored Western's final 48 points and had 51 for the game. 'It's fun when everyone gets to play," Quarterman said. Quarterman dominated the second half with a game-high 15 points.

The Vikings (17-3 overaU, 9-2 in the PacWest), ranked No. 20 nationally, remained in first in the West Division of the PacWest. Guard Jacob Stevenson had 21 points and seven assists for Western, which won its fourth consecutive game and its seventh straight home contest. Hawaii Pacific (8-12, 3-8) lost its fourth straight game and for the eighth time in nine contests. The Vikings' game plan was to look to Palm early in their offensive sets. "We try to get him involved as much as we can," coach Brad Jackson said. "Because when you do, he's either going to score, get to the line or get someone else an open shot." Palm has welcomed the challenge of being the anchor in the middle. "I like being the focal point of the offense, my teammates were looking to me early and often," Palm said. "We were trying to establish an inside presence to open up the offense on the outside." Palm, last year's PacWest freshman of the year, started this season on the sideline with a strained right knee. He has battled injuries and illness all year and only now is starting to feel healthy again. Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Guard Jacob Stevenson looks for an open man around a Hawaii Pacific defender. The Vikings won their third-straight game, 104-83, Saturday afternoon at Carver Gym. Seattle native Roe involved in track and field since high school From ROE,.Page 10 since coming to Bellingham in 1985 as a graphic designer/illustrator. "I make up the time at Woodring by doing a lot of flex time and working weekends and nights, or whenever I can," Roe said. Roe was born in Seattle. He believed in the importance of serving students for a long time. He said he learned this at an early age from his mother, Ellen, who worked at the Seattle School District for a small amount of money. Roe became involved in track and field in high school. He wasn't fast enough to compete, so he became a manager and has been ever since. He went to Nathan Hale High School and the University of Washington, where he managed both track teams. Roe has coached or led U.S. teams to international competitions in Canada, Japan (three times), Argentina, Belgium (twice) and South Africa. "My favorite place to go is New Zealand an I've proved that by going 11 times," Roe said. "We are going again in 309 days." Roe will be in Vancouver, Wash. Feb. 17 and 18 for the World Cross Country Trials where the U.S teams will be selected. He will lead that team to the World Cross Country Championships in Dublin, Ireland March 25 and 26. 1III1IHBH11 |||l|^|j|^HH||^j Over the last 10 games, the 6- foot 10-inch center has averaged 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. ' I t was a tough start to the season for him with the knee injury and getting sick," Jackson said. "We've been working on him being more physical and better balanced, and once he's got it going, then his confidence starts to go up, and that translates into efforts like today's." Hawaii Pacific opened the second half with a 12-4 run, capitalizing on several Viking turnovers to take a 52-50 lead just more than a minute into the second half. Western regained the lead for good at 57-56 on a basket and a "free throw by forward A.J. Giesa with 14:42 left. The Vikings then broke the game open down the stretch, holding the Sea Warriors scoreless for nearly five minutes to turn an 86-80 lead into a 101-80 advantage with 1:18 to play. At one point, Palm scored nine straight points during the 15-0 run that sealed the game. Guard Nick Spajic led the Sea Warriors with 27 points, 15 in the second half. The Vikings' defense held the Sea Warriors leading scorer Nash Subotic to seven points, .10 below his season average. . Hawaii Pacific had a 16-15 lead seven minutes into the game, but Western went on a 15- 4 run to take a 30-20 lead with 7:32 left in the half. The Vikings led by as much as 14 in the opening half, but the Sea Warriors closed the period with a 9-3 charge to narrow the margin to six, 46-40, at halftime. Palm, who was 12 of 16 from the field and 11 of 13 on free throws, had 23 points and 12 rebounds in the second half. His 35 points tied the sixth-best total in school history.

The opening words of the First Amendment are very clear. But apparently, newly "elected" President Bush and army of comp a s s i o n a t e conservatives haven't read the . First Amendment. At least that's the a p p e a r a n c e given by Bush's moves this past week to allocate federal funding to "faith-based" organizations. The proposed initiatives would divert up to $8 billion in tax revenues to fund religious-based social services. Is anyone scared yet? This is not a good idea, not to mention unconstitutional. This move by the new administration would open a possibility for abuse that the framers of the Constitution were dead set against. It provides ways for both the federal government and religious organizations to manipulate and use religion to whatever end they choose. Furthermore, what's to stop religious organizations, acting on their religious beliefs, from receiving federal funds from discriminating on the basis of religion, sexual orientation, race or gender? As the American Civil Liberty Union states on its Web site on this particular issue, "A Catholic church receiving public funds for literacy programs could fire a teacher for getting pregnant out of marriage or an Orthodox Jewish synagogue that operated a food 'This move by the new bank could administration would open refuse to hire a possibility for abuse that the framers of the Constitution were dead set against.' non-Jews or women." This is a real possibility, as religious organizations are exempt from many civil rights laws. Another worry is who will be deemed "worthy" of receiving funds? Would it merely be Christian organizations? If so, then neo-Nazis, Aryan Nations and other hate-based churches could qualify for receiving federal funds. The massive number of groups willing to manipulate the system for profit would 'The massive number of groups groups willing to manipulate the system for profit would most likely pop up overnight.' Justice Hugo most likely pop up overnight. Supreme Court was quite clear This initiative also would on this issue during the allow for discrimination Everson vs. Board of Education against those people who are not religious. Remember, people, "freedom of religion" also means freedom from religion. Now, granted, these are all worst case scenarios, but there's a reason why worst case scenarios exist: because they often happen. Black of the decision in 1947 when he said, "Neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or ^ prefer one religion over another ...

In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "The clause was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and state."'

The Western Front recently discovered, however, that many Marriott employees are not. Shockingly, about 12 percent of 343 Sodexho-Marriott food service employees across campus either have expired food handlers permits or none whatsoever. Sure, those who have taken the food handler's test realize one doesn't exactly need a four-year degree in the culinary arts to pass it, but people still fail. Memory Rohwer, of the Whatcom Department of Health and Human Services said, "Most of it is common sense, but there are other questions, like (proper) temperatures, that are more than common sense." Food handler's permits are not only important, they are required by law. The permits are also a matter of public record, and employers are required to provide proof that all employees have valid permits. Nonetheless, managers at campus eateries were unwilling to disclose the information to The Front on the grounds of violating employee privacy. Sodexho-Marriott should be held to as high a standard as every other food merchant in town. Even grocery store baggers and movie theater employees, who handle nothing more complex than popcorn, are required to have food handlers permits. Sodexho-Marriott employees should be no exception and the company certainly should not try to hide its shortcomings under the guise of employee privacy. Perhaps they don't realize the seriousness of the issue. Bacterium such as E. coli are more common than one might think and can cause severe organ damage or even lead to death. Such has been the case in recent memory. Surely, no one can forget the E. coli outbreak of 1993 in which 600 people ate contaminated Jack In The Box hamburgers. Three children died during that severe outbreak, which has been followed by numerous smaller outbreaks, as well as other cases involving salmonella. The possibility of food poisoning is all too real if food is not properly prepared. Sodexho-Marriott has a veritable monopoly on campus and charge notoriously high prices for its product - the company owes it to students and faculty to provide food they can trust was prepared properly by qualified individuals.

Western needs to quit talking and do more to improve safety Bryn Johnson COMMENTARY Safety for all students needs to be a priority for Western. People come to Bellingham because it is a safe place, a small community away from big city problems. Why then, are there posters in almost every building displaying the faces of people who have either succeeded at or attempted to hurt Western students? Safety is a hot topic for administrators trying to increase enrollment, and calm nervous parents' hearts. Western needs to spend less time downplaying past incidents and focus on coming up with practical solutions to safety issues. Other than physically being safe, it is important that students feel safe on Western's campus. Waiting for a ride home after a night class, studying in the 'Western needs to spend less time downplaying past incidents and focus on coming up with practical solutions to safety issues.' library or participating in sports doesn't make one feel safe. Anyone who lives off-campus knows that if they are on the northwest side of campus and they call someone to pick them up, the only place to meet them at the turn-around between the student health center parking lot and College Hall. Between 6 and 10 p.m. this popular spot can go from chaos to silence in a matter of minutes, bringing a change in heart rate for students waiting alone. It is the difference between security in numbers and wondering if anyone would hear a scream. For students, standing alone on the dimly lit street with nothing but two fluorescent street lamps and a creepy-looking character who also must be waiting for a ride, safety is nowhere to be found. Hoping that on their return, a ride would be there, students casually stroll back into buildings, making sure they didn't miss anything on their last five trips. Western's tradition of smiles for anonymous passers-by becomes a See SAFETY, Page 15 So much time, so little to do Lisa Curdy CURD'S WAY Non-essential activities, such as spending quality time on a couch or going-to parties, take on a new, incredibly pressing precedence when one is procrastinating. Procrastination is bad, very bad, but it feels so good. It's like the heroin of academia, the crack of classes, the stoned stupor of upper-division classes. I am addicted to procrastination. This weekend was truly the epitome of giving school the shaft, and it was wonderfully terrifying. Friday began with me fully intending to work on a story for another publication, but quickly turned into an exercise in sleeping in. After waking â€” at noon â€” I decided showering was not in my best interest. But I probably should have bathed, as I had Thursday night's makeup all over my face. We're talking glitter strewn from hell to breakfast, some mad mascara raccoon eyes, fading feathering smudges of lipliner that once was, and a hairstyle fit for Aretha Franklin, circa 1967. 'Procrastination is bad, very bad, but it feels good. It's like the heroin of academia, the crack ofclassesx the stoned stupor of upper-division classes. I am addicted to procrastination.' Things were not pretty in the Curdy household. Finally showering and reapplying the war paint later that night after a day of talk show bliss, I was ready for what Fridays are truly made for: cigarettes and beer. La Piriata supplied the first few rounds of liquid procrastination, and the rest were delivered to me in a little blue keg cup at a house party. The night passed in a hazy blur, and soon it was Saturday. On Saturday, I could have worked on my story, which was slowly dying from a generous dose of neglect, but I found my body had other plans. Once again, I was a glittered, makeup-coated nightmare not fit for the visually non-impaired, immobilized by sloth. And Saturday followed, as Friday's evil drunken twin. Then Sunday, sweet Sunday, awakened me with an eyelid-snapping jolt that made my heart flutter and stomach flip. It was do-or-die day, and graduation was in peril if I didn't get the story together. It was now time. I arrived at school with a white-knuckled grip and wet hair, searching with darting eyes See CURDY, Page 15 ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 15 ---------- February 6, 2001 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 15 It may not be popular, but oil drilling should be allowed in Alaskan refuge Mariah Price COMMENTARY Drilling should be done in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). This is not a very popular opinion and a lot of people out there are bound to disagree. That's okay. Thafs what makes life fun, right? Vive la difference! The area in question is the coastal plain, also known as the 1002 Area. It covers about 1.5 million acres, but only about 2,000 acres would be impacted by oil development. This area has a nine-month winter and 56 hours of continuous darkness during mid-winter. With military installments, schools, villages and roads, it is not an untouched environment. "Why do they want to disrupt the wildlife?" you might ask. Most people who are for drilling do not want to hurt the wildlife. It is, however, arrogant and wrong for the United States to expect other countries to deplete their natural resources and ruin their environments for our luxu- Granted, these countries are willing to do so for the money, but Americans shouldn't take advantage of them. What makes American resources and its environment so much more valuable than theirs? If drilling doesn't happen in the ANWR, other countries will find other places to drill for America. I t s a matter of which part of the world gets drilled first. The United States has one of the most regulated oil exploration and production industries in the world.

Have a well-lit area, an emergency phone, with Greencoats and University Police patrolling throughout the evening. Western should think about using student lives and schedules as a starting point for campus safety measures.

The United States spends about $40 billion annually on imported crude oil and refined products. This makes it the largest single commodity in the U.S. balance of trade deficit with other nations, according to the Department of Commerce. In 1973, the United States imported about 36 percent of its needs; in 1991, about 46 percent; today it is up to more than 55 percent. It is expected to rise to 60 percent by the year 2010. America is becoming more and 7f is, however, arrogant and wrong for the United States to expect other countries to deplete their natural resources and ruin their environments for our luxuries.' more dependent on countries with whom it is not always on the friendliest of terms. If America has the means to become a little more self-sufficient, it should. New technology that will minimize the damage and disruption to the land is available. One such technological advance is the "3-D" seismic survey. This survey, using powerful computers, allows crews to more accurately test for prospective drilling sites without actually having to drill exploration wells.

EVERYONE AT WESTERN has now felt an earthquake, but now you're looking at one.The recording needle of the seismograph in Haggard Hall jumped over four inches during the quake. ItWas 5.5 On By Sue Weir and Dave Curls Tuesday morning began like all r a i n y mornings at Western.;. . s l o w and tired. At 8:50 a. m"., however, Western and the. e n t i r e Whatcom County area wasshaken to life by an e a r t h q u a k e t h a t acted like a shot of adrenalin. Students all over the campus scampered for shelter, the campus switchboard was jammed with calls and classes were disruptedas chairs, tables.and desks shook across the classroom. AT HAGGARD HALL of Science, red lightsin the hallways came on announcing the approaching quake which sent science students runningfor the seismograph on display in the foyer. Almost before the quake was over, Dr. Robert Christman,head of the Geology Department, was tied to his phone comparing data on the quake with Norman Ras-musson, seismologist at the Uni- Copies of the seismograph's recording, of Tuesday's, earthquakemay be' purchased for 10c in rooms H140 or H134 of Haggard Hall. w,:,â€ž^Si:â€ž:.s^tl THESEISMOGRAPH on display in the foyer of Haggard Hall was a center of attraction Tuesday after theearthquake. Pictured from left are Ron Peters, junior industrial arts major, Ed Wright, attending the NSFMath Institute, Derrell Simpson, senior industrial arts major, and Bill Caster, junior ..education major.â€¢â€¢ ' - Pretty Holy Place $250 Granted TÂ© Repair Cabin Kulshan Cabin was first on the agendaagain at Monday's Summer Board of Control meeting and the $250 request for its renovation wasgranted. Orest Khrulak, chairman, and Mr. Richard Reynolds, director of student activities, went up tothe cabin last weekend to ascertain the amount of work that needed to be done. They were both verysatisfied with what they found. "I personally felt that the orgi-inal reports were gloomy," Reynoldssaid, "and after seeing the cabin myself, I feel that it is worth saying and preservingâ€”not only forWestern students, but as a service to other groups around the state." The main prerequisites are tomake the cabin safe and comfortable. It needs two fire escape ladders and also a new stove. Atpresent, there are large holes and gaps in the roof, walls and'floor. "We will have to put caulking in thewalls and floor and either add a new roof, or thoroughly patch the present { one. Also,' a skirt shouldbe built around. the building. to prevent the wind from blowing through," he said. He added that theaddition of shutters to the windows would preserve the glass. Tarps will also have to be re? placed onthe cots and bunks, as the present ones are rotted through. The board stipulated, however, that theMount Baker Hiking Club should either put funds into the cabin, or else drop from the maintenanceagreement that it presently holds with the college. versity of 'Washington and notifying the results of their seismo graphs to the press, radio, television and police of the area. Christman said Rasmussonhad placed the intensity of the quake at 5.5 on the Richter scale. The. logrithmic scale measures theamount of energy released witti its maximum intensity at ten. "After the data are re-examined, theearthquake may be placed lower on the scale at about 4 or 4.5," Christman said. "In general, 1.5 is thesmallest felt earthquake, 4.5 causes slight damage near the epicenter, 6 is destructive over a restrictedarea, and 7.5 represents the lower limit of major earthquakes," Christ-man explained. The Alaskanearthquake was 8.5 on the Richter scale. "Our record shows one sharp shock beginning at about 8:50and continued movement lasting less than five minutes," Christman said. "Movements following theAlaskan earthquake lasted several hours." . "The quake was only a mild one," Christman assured. "Itwasn't felt at Seattle or Vancouver, B. C, and only slightly felt at Everett and Victoria, B. C. Accordingto statistics compiled at the U of W, the epicenter was located somewhere between Bellingham, and the Canadian borderâ€”possibly close to Blaine. Western was still so close to the quake, however, that Dr. Christman was unable to distinguish between the quake's primary and secondary shocks that were recorded on the. three rer cording graphs. One of" the seismograms is posted in the glass case near H 140 and H 143. The quake brought many different responses from students on campus. Many did notimmediately recognize that the shaking going on was an earthquake. SANDY STROM, senior English major, was lying in bed sleeping when the quake struck. "I thought it was the old lady downstairsbanging on the ceiling with a broom," she said. "Then I thought 'Anchorage' and jumped out of the bed to make sure I wasn't being swallowed up by a big crevass. DENNIS DONOVAN, junior physicaleducation major, was in Carver Gymnasium at the time of the quake. "At first I thought it wassomething upstairs, but that was illogical because there is no upstairs/' he reflected. "That's the first quake I can ever rememberâ€”it kind of shook me up." , ---------- Collegian - 1964 July 17 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1964 to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortedletters . . . the student voice LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS A new look was added to the Collegian thisweek that I wish all of the readers would stand up and take notice. Now that you're standing, move youreyes across this page to the two columns on the right of this editorial. Now move your eyes to thebottom of the page. See it? Letters . . . the voice of the student. Four editions of the Collegian havealready been run off the press this summer but only two students among 2,500 have had anything tosay. Remarkable isn't it? The Collegian's letters column had almost become like that much fabledpatent office in the 17th Century which had decided to close its doors because they thought everythingconceivable had already been invented. We did not, however, close our doors because we feel thatsomeone on this S. B. O. C. is a gas The biggest and most debated question on the Summer Boardof Control's agenda Monday was to find a date suitable to all of the members on which to have theirannual picnic. The problem was a crucial one because $25 is going to be taken from the budget tofinance it and none of them wanted to miss out on a chance to spend the student's money. Are theyearning this picnic? Their first action as a Board this summer was to cancel all of the dances remainingin the quarter. Later in Monday's meeting, Janean St. Pierre, program chairman explained that no otherevents have been scheduled up to date because they might interfere campus may accidentally fall off his wishy washy fence and actually feel that something is either wrong or right with the way we students orothers are molding the world in which they are forced to live.

Curts with"Candida" or the Department of Classroom Teacher's Conference. Jt apparently never occurred to herthat this excuse didn't carry over to this weekend and that 2,500 students will be sitting up in the dormstwiddling their thumbs. The,benefits that the S.B.O.C. have prdughtthe student thus far have beenalmost hil. Perhaps the burden of problems that the Board now carries could be lessened if its sizewere cut to only the Facilities and Program Chairmen. Possibly these two members would have lessproblem getting together for the annual S.B.O.C. picnicâ€”D. C. the all important grade What is a grade? When students receive their report card at home after this summer session, the letter grade thatrepresents six to nine weeks of hard work, means more to them than the knowledge that they might have absorbed. This doesn't seem like the aim of an education. Dr. James L. Jarrett, president of Western,said in interview this week that the major aim of a college education is to create scholars. He defined,scholars as "persons who devote themselves earnestly to the pursuit of truth." He said that thevocational training that students aquire at Western is of minor significance, because any acceptedmethod of doing a specific job today will not necessarily be accepted ten years from how. Students take the same attitude as Jarrett, but with one small twist. They recognize that training becomes obsoleteafter only a few years so once they fill in the appropriate spaces on their final i.B.M. multiple choice test,they promptly forget everything that they have learned. To them, the major goal of a college education is not to pursue truth, but instead to get the grades necessary to get out of college. The faculty is notlessening this trend in the least and if anything, they are increasing it. They are building G.P.A. fences in front of almost all of the doors of the future. The entrance G.P.A. to Western has risen, the G.P.A.requirements for student teaching have risen, and now in some departments, students cannotcomplete their major with only a G.P.A. of "C." They must get a 2.5. It seems strange that aninstitution that should be trying to inspire students to pursue truth in life; should direct his efforts towardfalse, materialistic tags while in college.â€”D. C. WttiWfa TMT0 A W-R gt;W/fcÂ£ ACIP IN W f COKBVOTT * SUPER PATRIOT Editor, The Collegian: In the several years since my enrollment here at the"Harvard on High Street" I have seen a number of changes. New buildings, roads, curricula, facultychanges both many and obvious. There has been one change, however, which has been so diabolically subtle as to escape my notice until today, when it imposed itself upon my consciousness withfrightening suddenness and accompaning shock that it should have gone so long undetected. What,then, was this shocking discovery? Brace yourself, Mister Editor, evil is afoot under your very nose! TheBird Sanctuary flagpole is shrinking! Yes, shrinking! Old Glory, which once waved proudly above itscomplement of guardian firs, is now all but obscured by them. The best efforts of Western's patrioticcaninesâ€”Sarge, Augie, et al- to keep the ground at the pole's base moist and fertile, are of no avail.The pole gains not an inch, while the grounds crew (leftist infiltrated?) makes liberal applications offertilizer in the area of the offending Psuedotsuga Tax-ifolia. This shameful state of affairs, thisdesecration of our country's proud banner, must be brought to an end! The alternatives, (Ruling outapportionment of funds for a new flagpole by our state legislature unlikely before 1972, are these. Wemust: A. Lengthen the pole.B. Shorten the trees. C. Encourage the growth of one of the trees till itbecomes itself suitable for use as a flagpole.

Dave Curts Managing Editor Sue Weir Photographer BUI Heinz Business Manager..NigelAdams Filler Editor Carol Cottle Advisor ^L..-James Mulligan Agrees With Foshay Haubrich Likes 5Year Program "Postponing professional work until after a fifth year of education provides an importantalternative for those prospective teachers who are unsure of the course they wish to follow," Dr. VernonHaubrich, Head of the Department of Education said recently. Haubrich was commenting on a speech made by Dr. Arthur Foshay last week. Foshay had stated that prospective teachers should be taking afour year liberal arts course before taking a fifth year of teacher training. Haubrich agreed withFoshay's remarks and added that most college students are too young to give themselves only onealternative and cited teaching as an example. "Many students go into teacher training assophomores, thereby, committing themselves early. ,The five year program, however, gives anincreasing number of options," he said. He mentioned the special five year program which was initiatedhere last year, adding that most of the students were olderâ€”having come from other fields andoccupations. Haubrich felt that such an individual would be a good risk, as he would have made hisdecision to go into education after having a general background. SANFRANCISCO LAWN JOB Editor,The Collegian: Now that the grass has been mowed in San Francisco we can get back to the job offiguring out exactly what will really happen in the political campaigns of 1964. One thing for sure, thepast week has seen a violent shift in the GOP car. One hopes that the machine has a gear for this shiftnationally. But the spectacle is a thoroughly enjoyable farce if you're an American. Pity the foreignerwho understands the political machinery better than we. Imagine those translators trying to explainthis orgy of the common will in the American Party System. I'm sure one couldn't help but get indignantif they understood the conviction with which speaker after speaker bemoans the fact of being the worldpower, the leading nation, the finest example of democracy in the world. But regardless of party sayingthese phrases one can't help but feel that it's a defense mechanism. One seems to have doubts aboutwhat is being thrown to the world. Little do these people realize that this orgy of megalomania is being watched by other countries who are looking for something intelligent to come forth in this show ofemotionalism but if it does and when it does the viewer sees nothing but a camera showing yawningfaces, paper readers and really very disinterested delegates, It's nice to see such minds made up priorto discussion of amendments. I'm not so sure they were even interested in Old Normandys words of latecaution (much too late) to those faithful. Vote after vote, lawn-mowed America, voted down phrasing adocument called a platform which few "bother to read but many often quote. But nevertheless, WASP(White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) voted, yelled and screamed their disapproval o{ leaders' pleas andstayed united behind their lawnmover. And then, if you made it until the very end of Wednesday'ssession, the yardbirds walked around the civil rights demonstration turnstile-in as if to say, "Thosedamn beatniks why don't they become responsible Americans?"

" I t is a musical involving thieves, beggars, m u r d e r ers and p r o s t i t u t e s , " h e said. "Although the musical involves these things," said Wadleigh, "it isnot a play about stealing, murder or sex, and the difference can be seen." THE SETTING takes place in the slums of London in the 1830's and has as its main character the famed "Mack the Knife." Dr.Wadleigh said that it was common knowledge then as now "that one must feed the face, then talk about right and wrong" so that "Threepenny" is sometimes classed as being immoral without really beingso. The musical is not a musical comedy in the familar sense, but it has music to jar the ear and anironic sense of comedy that is a joke on the audience. "Threepenny," the Speech and MusicDepartment's joint production will run July 30 through August 1. BYRON'S Rock Shop Geologistsand Earth Science Students Go No Further!! â€¢ Rare Minerals â€¢ Excellent Rock Books SpeakerProbes Human Problems H e r b e r t W. Schneider, a visiting professor on campus this q u a r t e r ,has been described by Dr. Stanl ey Daugert, head of the Philosophy Department as an " i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y famous American philosopher." Schneider is presenting a series of lectures concerning theproblems of human conduct and the problems of personal ways of thinking in a revolutionary time. His first lecture, titled, "Schooling, Learning, and Education," was given Tuesday and described theprocess of personal development. "Although all the lectures are open to the public," Daugert said,"this lecture was specifically for the DCT conference and gave a general theory of education." Hissecond and third lectures will be held at 8 p. m. Tuesday and July 28 in Lecture Hall 4. The secondlecture entitled "John Dewey," deals with the art of self government, and the third- lecture entitled "Global Orientation," states the need for self reorientation. "The lectures," Schneider said, "are chiefly todiscuss the problems of relating philosophical language to the past war world. Especially, I want toimprove a little on existentialism." At present he is trying to develop a more critical and less-jdomantic philosophy of existence. "Our philosophical language for dealing with contemporary world iscarried over from a pre-war world," he said. "We ought to think now of a world neither at war nor atpeace, but in a state j of collective insecurity," Schneider describes himself as J a "social-philosopher"and has'j been working on the history as ( well as the philosophy of religion: He looks at philosophy from thei point of view of man. An author of many books, i Schneider wrote: "A History of ] AmericanPhilosophy," "The,1 Ways of Beign," and "Religion in the Twentieth Century." He is a past president ofthe American Philosophical Association and he was chairman of the Department of Philosophy atColumbia University. He has also served on the UNESCO staff in Paris and on executive boards onthe International Federation of Philosophical Societies and the International Federation for the History ofReligion.

"He is classical yetromantic; avant garde and surrealist, yet absorbed with the work of Pis-anello, Mantegna, Polaiuolo, and Uccello; powerful, but delicate; angular and prickly, yet affirming life; evocative, but often brutallydirect; macabre, yet wittyâ€” all fit but none really describes this versatile artist." The exihibtioncontains 58 prints and are mostly from 1957-1961 period. "Side by side with the destructive forces ofman and nature which Peterdi depicts in his iconography of bulls and beasts, webs, and angry seas and skies, we see life affirmed and exultant."

The quartet, one of four scheduled musical accompaniments tothe "Seeing Jazz: Artist Huxley students receive money from Audubon By Jenni Odekirk The WesternFront Dan Beard, senior vice president of the Audubon Society and Western 1998 DistinguishedAlumnus, presented a $1,000 grant to graduate student Natalya Antonova. The Audubon Society is a550,000 member organization focused on birds and the preservation of their habitats. The grant willenable Antonova to go to northwestern Utah from June 15 to July 10 to study, with satellite imagery, theeffects of land-use change on the Ferruginous hawk. â€¢"The satellite equipment costs $1200,"Antonova said. "The money will go directly for that." Antonova began studying the Ferruginous hawk in1996 when she was working at the Bureau of Land Management. "They were studying the nesting habits of the hawks," Antonova said. "The government is looking to put them on the endangered species list,but it needs more information." Antonova said she asked the Audubon Society for funding because itdoes similar research in Utah. Beard said when he and a colleague read Antonova's proposal, the onlyword that came to their minds was "wow." "It's a terrific proposal," Beard said. During the presentation,Robert Monahan, professor emeritus of geography and regional planning, gave six Patrick L. Monahangeography scholarships. Xuehua Zhang, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis in naturalresource concentration, received $2,000 each. Tyson Waldo, a graduate student in geography with anemphasis in international natural resources management, Michelle Watkins, a geography major and anelementary education student, and Eric Youngren, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis inoutdoor and natural resource education, received $1,000 each. Jennifer Bell, a geography major with aresource management emphasis, and Tim Schultz, a graduate student in geography with a resourcemanagement emphasis, received $500 each. The Patrick L. Monahan scholarship fund was establishedby Robert Monahan and his wife in memory of their son after he died in 1974 in a drunk-driving accident.The first scholarship was given in 1975. The Monahans, Western alumni, faculty and staff havecontributed to the fund over the years. The scholarships are given to students based on their potential forcontribution in geography and regional planning, Monahan said. "The government is looking to put(hawks) on the endangered species list..." Dan Beard Audubon Society senior vice president Marinecenter research funded By Matt Renschler The Western Front Western Washington University'sShannon Point Marine Center has, once again, received funds from the National Science Foundation,demonstrating its recognizable educational merit within the scientific community. The NSF has awardedShannon Point $545,000 to help it continue the Minorities in Marine Science Undergraduate Program,which will extend the program through 2004. Each year, Shannon Point recruits eight minority studentsfrom across the nation to study marine science at its campus in Anacortes. These students learnabout the fields of marine science and ecology by participating in laboratory and field researchthroughout the school year. Money from the NSF pays for the students' tuition, housing and travelexpenses. The NSF's decision to extend further funding to Shannon Point was based upon therecognized success of students who have completed the program. Many graduates are already making contributions to the field or pursuing higher education in graduate schools. Stephen Sulkin, a director atShannon Point, said, "This grant is the result of a highly competitive process. Its renewal is a reflection of the hard work and accomplishments of the student participants." Apparently, the NSF has beenespecially impressed with Shannon Point in recent months. Aside from funding the Minorities in MarineScience Undergraduate Program, the NSF has also decided to continue financial support for otherShannon Point programs. In June 1997, the NSF awarded Shannon Point a $520,000 grant for the three-year program. SEARUN's purpose is to involve undergraduates as equal partners in coral biologyresearch. It gives students a chance to tackle a real-life problem and do real research with the aid ofvarious faculty members. Gisele Muller-Parker, Jack Hardy and Suzanne Strom comprise the facultyteam that represents ecological, photobiological, biochemical and optical fields of research. Erin Macri,a research technician and former Shannon Point student emphasized the significance of this cross-disciplinary group of researchers. "What's really unique about this project is they're looking at it from aninterdisciplinary approach," Macri said. Ultimately, it may be the comparisons between the differentaspects of the project that will be responsible for its success. The three-year long project examines thesymbiotic relationship between zooxanthelle (single-celled algae) and corals, and the effect environmental stress- See Grant, page 5 Photo courtesy of Shannon Point Marine Center website A researcher at thecenter dives to collect samples. ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS May 15, 1998 Campus Police: May 12, 4 p.m.: Campus policeresponded to a call that bike parts had been stolen at Fairhaven Residence Hall.

Springer isfighting to suppress tabloid shots from the video. He said he vows to find out who set him up. Come outwith your hands up Surrounding a Phoenix motel, police demanded through a bullhorn that WalterHefner â€” wanted on a robbery charge â€” come out and surrender. Hefner complied, and so didtwo other men from another motel room. The pair was wanted for burglary and mistakenly thought thepolice were after them. Would you like to donate your socks? Steven Bain and his buddy StevenGawthrop were arrested in England after police realized they had tricked 15,000 people into giving themthe socks off their feet. They spent their weekends going to bars and persuading drinkers to give themtheir socks for "charity." Apparently these guys had a bizarre sock fetish. When police searchedGawthrop's house, they found thousands of socks everywhere â€” hanging from lampshades, on the furniture, even covering the microwave. Each pair was wrapped in a sandwich bag with the donor's name written on the outside. Bain wasn't as neat as his friend. His socks were just thrown about hisapartment. Police say the apartment had an 18-inch- . deep "carpet" of socks in every . room.Collecting other people's socks isn't a crime in England, but police said they made the discoverybecause the two were under investigation for some kind of sexual misconduct. Getting dizzy over aJeep Three people were declared the winners of a two-month long roller-coaster-riding marathon Monday at the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park. The winners were each awarded a $16,000 JeepWrangler. Originally, only one of the 24 riders who rode ^the Great American Scream Machine thelongest was to get the Jeep, but the three riders would not give up. They broke the American record of11 straight days on a roller coaster and the world record of 23 days. The trio got hourly five-minutebreaks and lunch and dinner breaks of 45 minutes each. They slept for seven hours each night on aplatform near the coaster.

We were planning to move, anyway A woman got the surprise of her life when a rapscalliongeyser erupted on her front lawn in Roturua, New Zealand, spewing water, rocks and mud to heights of40 feet. The geyser flared to life Friday afternoon through the lawn at Karen Herbert's house, andwitnesses said some of the rocks it spewed were the size of small television sets. Roturua is famousfor its geysers, hot springs and pools, but the new geyser became an instant tourist attraction. Thisrogue eruption left the owner a steaming pool 2 yards wide and 3 yards deep. "I'm frightened. I don'tknow what is going to happen, and so I am looking for somewhere else to live," Herbert said as shewatched the bubbling pool.

Bristol University in England, announcing inFebruary the results of a study of 14,000 children, said bathing every day is not good for a kid.According to the study, children who take regular baths are 25 percent more likely to develop asthmaand other allergies because their immune systems are delicate and still evolving. Insectophobia AnIsraeli woman's fight with a stubborn cockroach put her husband in the hospital with burns, a brokenpelvis and broken ribs, the Jerusalem Post newspaper reported yesterday. The woman, frightenedby the insect when she found it in their living room, stepped on it, threw it in a toilet and sprayed a fullcan of insecticide on it when it refused to die. Her husband came home from work, went to the toiletand lit a cigarette. When he threw the cigarette butt into the bowl, the insecticide fumes ignited,"seriously burning his sensitive parts," the Post wrote. When paramedics were called to the home in Tel Aviv, they laughed so hard when they learned what had happened that they dropped the stretcher down the stairs, breaking the unidentified man's pelvis and ribs.

Shalom Center brings light to lives of others By Robin Skillings The Western Front "I have seen the face of hopelessness, and I have heard thesfrgt; ries â€” many are just struggling with life," said Jason Howland, a Shalom Center volunteer at the Lighthouse Mission. The Lighthouse Mission, a Christian establishment for men, is self-sufficient, yetbenefits greatly from the volunteer program established by Howland, peer ministry communityoutreach coordinator at the Shalom Center. The Shalom Center has been sending two to threevolunteers to the Lighthouse Mission every Tuesday night from 4 to 6:30 p.m. since November 1997,Howland said. "The majority of the residents are homeless," said Carrol McGrady, administrativeassistant of the Lighthouse Mission. "They come to the Mission due to problems in' their life, whetherit be alcoholism, drugs, emotional instability, separation from God â€” losing everything, they end uphere," she said. During the summertime, the population in the mission severely decreases due to thebearable weather, unlike the enormous numbers during fall and winter, McGrady said. "Most of thehomeless are worried and frightened ... They can't go to sleep or rest for fear of someone stealing what little they own," McGrady said, adding, "They come for what we can provide for them â€” the threebasic essentials in life: clothing, food and shelter." "A large number of people see the homeless assomething to be scared of; the Lighthouse Mission helps to break that barrier," Howland said. TheMission offers the homeless men different programs during their stay. After the introductory stay of three to five days, a rehabilitative program :is started, McGrady said. "The program consists of assigningmen chores to accomplish around the Mission and to, attend chapel every evening," McGrady said.The next, step^df the rehabilitative program is the attendance of two lengthy classes per: day for fourdays a week; the men are taught valuable skills needed for seeking employment, McGrady said. "There is a difference in the men when the youth come to volunteer," McGrady said. Instead of seeing themen hang their heads low, they seem to be very receptive, excited and upbeat around the youths, she said. "The noticeable spiritual * growth of these individuals is definitely nice to see; those who havestumbled away from their faith, or even those who have never had one, have been gently introduced back into it," Howland said. "Maybe having the youth around evokes happy memories in these men from their own childhoods," McGrady said. "Any students from Western, no matter their affiliation, are welcome to volunteer down at the Lighthouse Mission," Howland said. Howland said, "Since I have beenvolunteering, I have been able to put a proper face on the important issue of homelessness."

"Last year, we had Marriott (supply the food), but they didn't have the stuff wewanted â€” we had.a lot of cheese," said Jennifer Murphy, DIG assistant coordinator. "This year, wedecided to do a potluck." About 40 people trickled through the doors, spurred by free-food rumors spreadby. full and happy tasters, said Ellen Chesley, assistant coordinator for the Sexual Awareness Center. "A lot of people that came in have been in past years," Chesley said. "A lot of people just come in andcrack up." "Aphrodisiacs â€” everyone's kind of intrigued by that," Murphy said. "It's all a myth, anyway,"she added. Informative papers acknowledged most aphrodisiacs have no proven efficiency. "Somepeople take it with a grain of salt, and some people take it very seriously," Chesley said. The potluck.drew people into the lounge, and while they ate, they could read the selection of pamphlets abouteverything from the" medical uses of marijuana to facts and myths surrounding sexual assault. "It's areally good way to get out information about our offices," Chesley said. The DIC obtained informationabout aphrodisiacs from Internet sources, magazine articles and various tidbits from its files. Brightlycolored papers identified numerous familiar and unfamiliar aphrodisiacs, such as yohimbine andginseng, which have been used to aid potency in males. Chocolate is well-known for it's release ofphenylethyamine, the chemical produced in the brain when people fall in love. Peaches, sugar andtomatoes have been associated with love; chili and garlic with passion; and papaya and turnips withemotion. What are we missing? Ah, yes, the famous green mms. They were there, but not to eat. Agoblet bearing a sign inviting anyone to guess the number of candies it contained. Participants wereentered in a raffle. The film "Like Water for Chocolate" was shown after the potluck. "The whole movie is about food and its different effects," Murphy said. "It has a lot to do with aphrodisiacs." page 1 fjlalei^^ Healthy choices for any lifestyle Whether your fixing a quick heat and serve meal, or your cooking allday.

Portland's Elliott Smith will grace Bellingham with a performance at 8 p.m. tonight inthe Viking Union Main Lounge. One may recognize Smith as former member of the band Heatmiser orfrom his work on the soundtrack of Gus Van Zant's recent film, "Good Will Hunting." Smith has sixtracks on the soundtrack, and his efforts got him nominated for an Academy Award for Best OriginalSong. This is a surprising accomplishment, especially considering Smith's deep indie-rock roots.Smith has just released his third album, "Either/Or," on Olympia's Kill Rock Star label, and so far it hasreceived nothing but praise. The critics have raved about Smith's song writing skills from day one, andafter three solo albums and all the hype surrounding "Good Will Hunting," Smith's music is gaining morerecognition from the mainstream. However, a complete acceptance by mainstream music listeners isunlikely, because most critics agree that Smith's songs are too good to be tarnished on the radio next tobands such as Matchbox 20 and Seven Mary Three. Smith's modern-day folk music is mostly orientedaround his acoustic guitar. His soff whisper-like vocals give his music an intimate sincerity that leaves the listener with no choice but to believe every word being sung. Although it's a comment Smith may notwant to hear, his music is often compared to that of Paul Simon, and critics have most notably dubbedhim the next Bob Dylan. However flattering or irritating these comparisons may seem, one must notjump to conclusions, for a sincere quality is evident in Smith's music that is uniquely his own. Smith'sperformance tonight is definitely one that you don't want to miss. Also scheduled to perform are Quasi(another band with a former member of Heatmiser) and Birddog. Tickets are $6 for students and $7 for the general public. Doors open at 8 p.m., so don't be late.

The castmembers added a few of their own elements and ideas to the play, making it even .more entertaining.Unlike William Shakespeare's original play, Western's production of "The Tempest" is set in a non-temporal place of nowhere. The costumes are reflective of this non-era. The production includedimaginative costumes and an original set. In the opening scene, the cast acted out a seastorm aboard a ship, complete with fog, lightning, thunder and screaming passengers. The storm ended with ashipwreck and the survivors finding themselves on a seemingly deserted island. Prospero, who controlsthe desert island, wore robes and carried a long wooden staff, much like Moses. Alonsa, Queen ofNaples, looked like a misfit leftover from the '60s. Caliban, clad in leather motorcycle chaps and vest,wore webbed gloves and a ridged shell on his back to portray the monstrous slave of the island.Sebastian and Antonio, dressed as gangsters from the 1930s, armed themselves with small daggers.Perhaps the most animated character of them all, Ariel, danced around the stage in a sparkling silveroutfit with M.C. Hammer-like shorts. The performers combined romance with comedy to draw theaudience onto their island and into their fantasy world, full of spirits and magic. The play is full ofsuggestion, and various themes, such as power, vengeance, forgiveness, justice, mercy andreconciliation, surface throughout the play. The play may be seen as merely entertainment, or it may beanalyzed for political, moral and social issues. Some of the scenes were disconnected and allowedthe audience to interpret their meanings. A few of the actors really lost themselves in their charactersand became the scene-stealers. Ariel, a spirit of the air and servant to Prospero, played by Laura"'{Jfie tempest1 is a must-see performance, even i r j /Â»gt; vant l-rospero, tgt;y IT UOU Qre nOt QDICJ Bohn, climbed and danced around . . stage, all the time singing and SfidfteSpeCire 6uff. rhymingShakespeare's words, J J J convincing the audience that spirits really do exist. Stephano, a drunkenbutler played by Christopher Bange, stumbled around the stage, singing drinking songs and deliveringtimely one-liners. Trinculo, the jester, played by Sarah Petty, was a perfect match as Stephano'ssidekick. Western's production of "The Tempest" is a must-see performance, even if-you are not a bigShakespeare buff. The cast did not change Shakespeare's words or the Elizabethan language, but donot fear â€” the play is easy to understand and still enjoy. One of Shakespeare's most famous lines fromthe play may ring true for the cast and crew involved in the production, "This is such stuff as dreams aremade on."

Of late,Spain and Cole have been immersing themselves in the treacherous and risky waters of independentconcert promotion. Recently they have booked some big-name acts, such as Harvey Danger, Goodnessand VOG. Despite the uncertainty that is stock-in-trade of their business, the Lucky Devil boys have lofty goals. "World domination," Spain joked. "No, we're just taking things as they come." "One of ourbiggest goals is to build up the local music scene up again, because it's really fallen apart over the lastcouple of years," he said. "Bands used to get along a lot better," Cole said. "They'd come out andsupport another band even if they weren't as in to them." Spain and Cole said they are hoping Lovefest'98, a three-day concert they are promoting at The Doublewide, will be a step in the direction of creatingunity among Bellingham musicians. "We're calling it Lovefest kind of as a joke, because most of thesebands don't know each other, have never played with each other and don't necessarily get along," Spainsaid. "With this show, they'll at least get a chance to meet each other." Another target for Lucky Devil isgetting people to come out to see live shows in Bellingham. "At The Doublewide, you can put a greatband in there, and 40 or 50 people will show up," Spain said. "But if you put Aaron (Roeder), the owner,spinning greatest hits of the '70s CDs on a Wednesday night, and it's packed." "Everyone's just going out for the DJ thing and not really for live music," he said. "But everything goes in cycles; it's just the wayit goes. But we're trying to fight it." "Not with just local bands; we're trying to do more shows with jazzbands or more folkier-type bands," Cole added. "It's not just the indie-rock scene we're trying to build up." "A good example is a show we had at the VU with Buffalo Daughter who are on the Beastie Boys'label, Grand Royal, and this band is amazing liveâ€” they sell out everywhere they play," Spain said."They sold out Seattle; they sold out Portland; then they came here and there was 50 people there. Imean, what's wrong with this picture?" Spain and Cole have also started a monthly magazineFront/Jesse Kinsman Sean Spain (left) and Brent Cole of Lucky Devil Productions take a break from abusy day of the music biz. Front/Jesse Kinsman Local must promoter Sean Spainâ€”a lucky devilindeed. called What's Up that is devoted to covering local bands and the local music and arts scene.They said the magazine is in response to the lack of coverage local bands receive from the press."You're not going to open up Northwest Events and see and article on Batfarm or Slick Watts or Sharpieor any of these bands," Spain said. "For a while, there was no support for these bands," he added. "If itwasn't for (What's Up), a lot of these bands would get no press whatsoever." "What we're really trying todo is cover more things that aren't ours," Cole added. They also said they plan for the 4,000-circulationmagazine to add an arts and entertainment section in the May issue. Both of the Lucky Devils gottheir start in the booking business getting shows for their own bands. Cole worked at getting showcasesfor local bands around Bellingham, while in his band, The Creeps from Planet X. He said he went to TheDoublewide and arranged shows with Roeder for his other bands. Spain said he learned the ropes findinggigs for his band Uncle Squirrley, in Yakima, before he moved west to Bellingham. Once he got here, hestarted to meet other bands and began to book shows for everybody. Then, he got a job as the bookingagent for The Royal Room, where he worked for nearly a year. By the time he left The Royal, he hadbegun to make contacts within the music industry, so he decided to try his hand at getting shows forbigger venues, such as The Cosmos, which had just opened at the time. Spain left The Cosmosshortly before it closed three months ago, after working there for a year. With Lucky Devil, Spain andCole are trying to work with as many venues as possible. They said that though Russell Sports Inn istheir primary venue, they also work with The Doublewide, The Up Up, Stuart's Coffeehouse and also the Viking Union. Spain said that despite the rewards of bringing live music to the people of Bellingham,heavy risks are involved with their job. "Being an independent promoter is a lot like gambling," Spainsaid. "What people don't realize is if not enough money is made at the door, somebody is coughing upthe extra money." Spain said the two recently lost a lot of money on a show VOG played at Stuart's amonth ago. "Being musicians and music lovers, we'll take the risk," Spain said. "But after the show, itwas like, 'Hey, VOG; that was a great show and we're glad we did it, but it kind of sucked that we lostmoney." "It goes both ways, but sometimes it gets really risky." he added.

By Steve Leslie The Western Front Music poured from the Viking Union MainLounge last Friday night from a concert that featured Bellingham-based band the Posies. Despite theVU's horrible acoustics, it continues to be the center for rock shows at Western. Mummery, the firstband, received a less-than- warm reception from an audience that didn't even fill up a quarter of the venue. Mummery sounded as though it was merely visiting from the '80s, resembling Elvis Costello at timesâ€” keyboards and all. Mummery pulled out all stops in order to please the audience, even throwing hand-fuls of candy into the largely unaffected crowd. Okay, it was a rough audience, but no one ever said itwas easy being an opening band. Gradually, more people appeared in front of the stage for the second band, Frequency dB. This trio had a nice sound that was supported by its effects-drenched guitar.The great tone of the guitar went well with the bands' slow, melodic style. Frequency dB displayed some good examples of how music can be slow and still retain great energy. The band did play a couple ofquirky songs that didn't quite seem to fit into the rest of its repertoire, but overall it was a good group. By the time the Posies were ready to play, the VU was about half full. Singer/guitar player Ken Stringfellowstarted the set off by wishing his own band a happy 10-year anniversary. This only made the fans moreeager to hear the band play. During the first three songs, Stringfellow moved around with such fierceenergy it was amazing that he didn't rip his guitar in half. Surprisingly, through all of his jumping,spitting and stamping, Stringfellow hit every note with superb accuracy; but that's where 10 years ofplaying rock 'n' roll will get you. The Posies played songs from most of their albums, even pleasing theirlongtime fans by playing some old favorites such as "Suddenly Mary" and "Solar Sister." The Posiesplayed extremely well in spite of a sound system and room acoustics that didn't do the band justice. The band's well-balanced set went from heavy and hard to sullen and sweet. The Posies also had a veryunique way of slipping sadness into happy songs. For example, the song "Precious Moments" had a happy and uplifting feel with very sad lyrics: "Life and its precious moments like a flood that you can'treverse, life and its precious moments and it's only getting worse ..." This element of the band'ssongwriting is only one of the many things that has attracted fans over the years. The Posies' vocalswere also in prime form, hitting harmonies dead-on with dynamics that brought their music to anotherlevel. The Posies truly are a great live band and Friday's show was another prime example of this. It's ashame if one Posies fan out there hasn't had a chance to see them live, especially considering the fact that they won't be around much longer. But hey, there really are no excuses, because the Posieshave been playing for 10 years. If you snooze, you lose. Harvey Danger rips up Russell's By CoreyLewis The Western Front Take a loca^band that has started to make it big nationwide; put it in asmall venue for an intimate show. Now add an amazing opening band. A lot of people should be there,right? Not in Bellingham. Harvey Danger, the Seattle-based band you may know as the creators of"Flagpole Sitta," the oft-played single that has been on Seattle radio station 107.7 KNDD-FM, playedlast Friday at Russell Sports Inn. This is the first show I have seen at Russell's, and I was impressed.The venue is large but not cavernous like, say, The Cosmos, where absolutely no atmosphere is tobe found. Downstairs at Russell's is big enough to pack in a big crowd, yet still keep an intimateatmosphere. But the crowd was not big Friday. By the time Harvey Danger came to the stage atmidnight, the crowd had thinned out to about 150 to 200 people. Although a lot of people missed out onan amazing show, the extra elbow room was nice. Danger opened with "Woolly Muffler," from itsdebut album, "Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?" With roaring guitar riffs from Jeff Lin'sinstrument as he stumbled from side to side, singer Sean Nelson bounced around the center of thestage and sang in his oddly high, but really cool-sounding voice. The performance was tight; Nelsonnever got into the screaming bit that has plagued so many bands. I don't know the words to any oftheir songs, but I could understand what Nelson was saying the whole time, and that's a rarity. Theinstruments were also mixed perfectly; it sounded as though the band spent its major-label money well. The band also exuded tons of energy, which showed in the crowd â€” it actually started moving.Throughout the show, all four members of the band were bouncing, lunging and dancing around thestage. The energy also came across in their music. All of the guitar riffs were bouncy and well-driven bythe rhythm section of drummer Evan Suit and bassist Aaron Huffman. After performing a few songsthat aren't on its album, the band launched into "Flagpole Sitta." With Nelson singing while playing anorgan, the band performed its hit masterfully. "Now I'm an amputee, God damn you!" That's a great song. The rest of the show kind of slowed in momentum as people started to file out, but Harvey Dangerplayed on with intensity, proving to the remaining crowd that it is a great live band. However, HarveyDanger was not the treat of the show. Local band Death Cab For Cube was Front/Barney BenedictsonHarvey Danger's Sean Nelson (left) and Jeff Lin sit atop their flagpole at Russell's. the toy surprise at thebottom of the Cracker Jack box. Its brand of melodic, thick rock 'n' roll is as impressive as it is moving.Death Cab's music blends melodic guitar parts and driving, complex drum beats with leadsinger/guitarist Ben Gibbard's beautiful voice. It makes for a Beatles-esque sound that's very ear-pleasing. They put on an incredible live show. The sound was crisp and dear even though theamplification consisted only of mics in front of what looked like a 1960s amplifier. But I guess the lo-fiapproach was what they were going for. All four musicians in Death Cab proved they are immenselytalented. Complicated drum parts seemed to jump off drummer Nate Good's sticks as he pounded onhis small kit. Good's drums were the backbone of Death Cab's sound, with guitarists Gibbard andChris Walla and bassist Nicolas Harmer adding the rest of the layers of sound. From their first song on,they had the crowd hooked. The crowd swayed, bobbed heads and even shuffled around a littlethroughout Death Cab's set, which seemed like a lot of effort for the subdued crowd. The highlight ofDeath Cab's set, however, was when Walla traded his guitar for an organ. The organ and taped loopsadded extra dimension to Death Cab's already thick and rich sound. If you get the opportunity to seeeither of these bands live, don't pass up the chance. You'll be a better person for it. ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS May 15, 1998 Worden looks to lead lacrosse By Jill FrewingThe Western Front Although the Western lacrosse team lost the finals to their rivals from the north,Simon Fraser, midfielder Steve Worden said the team had a great season, ending with an 11-2 record.Worden is a starting midfielder for Western and has played that position for six years. He played inhigh school for a club team, Eastside Lacrosse, and just finished his third season playing for Western.He said he enjoys midfield because it is a mix of playing offense and defense. "You get to play offenseand score goals," Worden said. "You also get to play defense and put people on the ground." He saidother team leaders this season included Ryan Mills, midfielder; Dylan Meyers, goalie; Anthony Braxton,defense; and Erin O'Neal, attack. "We're losing Mills next year," Worden said. "He was the midfieldcaptain; he carried us through a good part of the season." Worden is referring to the semi-final gamein which Western beat Whitman 11- 9. The Vikings came back from a 2-7 half-time deficit â€” on thepower of five goals by Mills. "We came back and crushed them," he said. "This was the worst thing thatcould have happened to Whitman because we did the exact same thing to them earlier this season."Worden said the lacrosse team expected to do well this season. "Western has always had a reallystrong talent base for as long as I can remember," he said. "We always get a number of good lacrosseplayers coming to Western Washington, and we're glad to have them," he said. He said the high pointof the season was beating Whitman College the second time in the semi-finals in Portland, Ore. "Therewere a bunch of fans, both relatives and alumni," Worden said. "And then it was just a really goodgame; it was an exciting come-from-behind win." "The low point was losing to Simon Fraser the firsttime," Worden said. "We played a couple tough games, but they simply beat us that day which was kind of tough to handle." Worden said during the season, Simon Fraser was ranked between third and fifth,while Western was ranked between 13th and 15th. "In the final game, even though we lost in the end, itwas fun because it was two teams of relatively comparable skill levels that played as well as they eachcould play," Worden said. "That's the most fun I've ever had in a lacrosse game." Worden said althoughthe season is over, some of the team members will still go out and practice once a week just for fun."We'll get together once a week and scrimmage â€” not even as preparation for next year," he said. Hesaid preparation for next year will begin in the fall, when team members find out who the new players are. "In the fall, we will find out who all our new rookies are and how they fit into the team," Worden said."We have a lot of people coming back; there are some people we aren't sure if Front/Jesse KinsmanWester midfielder Steve Worden looks ahead to next year's lacrosse season. they're leaving or not, which is kind of tough," Worden said. "We're losing three of our really important middies," he said. "Rightnow, I might be the only starting middie coming back next year, so I might have to step it up and maybedo a little bit of leadership in the midfield â€” which I'm looking forward to doing," Worden said. His goalfor next season is to beat Simon Fraser. "They're going to be really good because they are only losingtwo guys; they'll pretty much be the same team they were this year," Worden said. "It will bechallenging next year because we are losing some key people." He also said the team does not knowyet if its coach, Tony Esser, will return. "He is one of the major reasons that we had the great record wedid," Worden said. "Western never really actually had a coach before this year." "He came out andcoached us this year and did a really good job," Worden said. "If he wants to come back, we'd love tohave him." As for next year's team, Worden said, "Look for another good Western lacrosse team; we'relosing some valuable people, but we also have a lot of excellent returning talent."

Matt Jaffe COMMENTARY Here we are again, mid-May, and Sonics are back in Seattle watching the playoffson their couches instead of on the court where they belong. After being eliminated by the Los AngelesLakers in the second round Tuesday night, the Sonics have six months to regroup, ponder changes andprepare for next season. This year's playoff loss is a bit different than past losses. Throw out game two,in which the Sonics were blown out, 92-68, and they played an almost flawless series. The Lakerssimply played better. It's not like the Sonics blew a 2-0 lead to a No. 8-seeded Denver team. They didnot blow several home leads to an aging Houston team that eventually beat them in a game seven. Thisloss was a lot easier to swallow. It is similar to the situation the Sonics faced in 1996, when they madethe NBA finals and lost to what was arguably the greatest team of all time, the 1995-1996 Chicago Bullsand their 72-10 regular-season record. However, this loss has the sports world running wild withspeculation about the future of the Sorties^ and especially Coach George Karl. Karl has had remarkableregular-season success, posting a 384-150 record since taking over as Sonics head coach. It hasbeen the history of playoff losses, to Denver in '94, the Lakers in '95, Houston in 1997 and the Lakersagain this year that has Karl on the hot seat. Should the Sonics let Karl go, it would be their biggestmistake since June of 1987f when they traded their first-round draft pick out of Central Arkansas toChicago for Olden Polynice. Anyone want to guess who that was? If you said Scottie Pippen, you win a cookie. Well, not really. Eleven years and five NBA titles later for the Bulls, and you can be the judge ofwho got the better of that deal. Forcing Karl out will be a blunder of equal magnitude. Karl has therespect of his players. The fraiv chise, Gary Payton, has publicly gone to bat on Karl's behalf a numberof times. Other players express the same loyalties as well. Some positives can be taken from thisseason. Payton has assumed the role of "the man" well since the trade of Shawn (I am your father,Luke) Kemp. While on the subject of that trade, Kemp's replacement, Vin Baker, has made Seattle fans forget the Reign Man. Baker struggled throughout most of the playoffs, but he started to turn things on at the end of the Lakers series. His early struggles may be attributed to his lack of big-game experience.After playing college ball at storied Hartford, and then at the proud Milwaukee Bucks franchise in the NBA, Baker played in a grand total of zero postseason games. Experience will solve those problems."... This loss has the sports world running wild with speculation about the future of the Sonics, andespecially Coach George Karl." In terms of rebuilding and free agency, the Sonics do not have muchflexibility. They have contracts committed to Payton, Baker, Detlef Schrempf, Hersey Hawkins and DaleEllis. Oh, and who could forget, center Jim Mclllvaine will also be with-us. Until 2003. I am not doggingJimmy Mac; he is an effective shot blocker â€” for the 15 minutes he plays each game. However, such adeal on the part of team General Manager Wally Walker was foolish. This gives them very littleflexibility under the salary cap to pursue a big-name, youthful free agent this year, such as the Nets'Jayson Williams, Pip-pen (well, kind of youthful), or Philadelphia's Jerry Stack-house. The one area in which the Sonics sorely lacked this year was physical â€” rebounding presence inside. ForwardJerome Kersey added energy and helped in this department, but he cannot do it alone. So the Sonicswill remain venerable, old veterans for next year. ' Letfe hear it for mortgaging the future! To the regularfollower of Sonics' basketball, this should not come as a surprise. Six years of draft blunders andmiscalculations has led to this. Yes, the Sonics picked up James Cotton in the second round last year,but how often did he play? Actually, the Sonics' last first-round draft pick who is still with the team isPayton, who was taken number two overall in 1990. That is seven years and counting since the lastsuccessful draft. Anyone remember Rich King? How about Doug Christie? Who could forget SherrellFord? Ervin Johnson lacked magic too. The Sonics actually came very close to passing on their first-round draft pick in 1996, which would have been a first in NBA history â€” a record to be proud of. In theuseless-fact department, Christie is the only one who is still in the NBA, tearing it up for the esteemedToronto Raptors. Ford is in the CBA, somewhere. Assuming the NBA starts up next fall, and with theNBA labor situation, that's no sure thing, the Sonics will keep the same core of players; the supportingcast may be different. Nate McMillan is retiring. Big Smooth, Sam Perkins, will probably be gone aswell. Greg Anthony should get a raise somewhere, if not in Seattle, after his strong play at the pointthis year. Add a role player in the mold of Terry Cummings for rebounding, and things might improve.Will they be able to compete with the Lakers? Probably not. However, before we start calling theLakers a dynasty, they will have some free-agent questions to answer. Kobe Bryant will be eligible togo elsewhere, and Shaquille O'Neal and his mighty elbows can opt out of their contract after nextseason as well. Once the coach issue is resolved, and we can only hope it will result in George Karlreturning, things should get interesting, but not as interesting as one might hope them to be. g ~ * lt; 9S 5 J L ^ ; TbEFAlR^ Mhij -, ,.

Pitcher Alison Haukaas, catcher /first baseman Cathy Johnson,outfielder Jen Brandolini, pitcher/first baseman Devon Fliss and catcher/third baseman Andie Greenen all made the team. Haukaas, Johnson and Brandolini all received unanimous votes for the all-star team.Brandolini had a very impressive season. She was named PNWAC hitter of the year and is currentlyworking on extending an 18-game hitting streak. She led the PNWAC in four categories, setting schoolrecords in each of them. Brandolini led the league with a batting average of .454, 64 hits, 40 runs scoredand 27 stolen bases. "She is the spark that gets the team moving," Johnson said. Brandolini wasalso named PNWAC player of the week twice and regional player of the week once. Brandolini holdsWestern's career marks for hits (139), runs scored (90), stolen bases (65), home runs (5), at bats (398),games (121) and triples (8). "This season was a real turn around for her from last season," Coach ArtPhinney said. "She had a good season last year, but this year she really took off. She is one of thereasons our offense is so powerful." Johnson led the league in two categories: RBI's (41) and doubles(15). Both are school records. She batted .408 on the season and tied the school mark for home runswith five. Johnson was named PNWAC player of the week twice and regional player of the week once."It is a big honor for me to be named an all-star; if s very exciting," Johnson said. "(Johnson is) reallyconsistent: 41 RBI in 41 games. For being such an aggressive hitter, she just does not strike out,"Phinney said. Haukaas was named to the all-star team for the third straight season. She closed out the season with 1.29 ERA and a 7-2 record. "She is a fun pitcher to catch for," John- - son said. "Ali'samazing," Johnson added. "She spent most of the season rehabilitating her arm. She didn't lose anything from last season, and she is even a better pitcher this season after the injury." "It would be easy totake for granted what Alison brings to the team," Phinney said. Front/Jesse Kinsman Western's FabFive Fastpitch Softballers: Outfielder Jen Brandolini, pitcher/first baseman Devon Fliss, catcher/thirdbaseman Andie Greenen, pitcher Alison Haukaas and catcher/first baseman Cathy Johnson. "When shepitches, her teammates always know they can win." Fliss had a league best 0.95 ERA and a team-leading 84 strikeouts in 88-and-one-third innings. Fliss also accumulated an 11-5 record with a team-leading nine complete games, four shutouts and three saves. Fliss was also named PNWAC player ofthe week. "It feels really good to do the job that the team expects you to do," she said. Fliss batted.314 on the year and said she was pleased with her improvement at the plate last season. "I amreally proud of my hitting," Fliss said. "I worked really hard from last year and relaxed at the plate; it feltgood." "She wants the ball, and her teammates are developing the confidence in Devon as "...All of thestats and everything that happened doesn't mean a thing once we get to Oklahoma." Cathy JohnsonCatcher/first baseman they already have for Alison," Phinney said. Greenen had a very strong offensiveseason, batting .344 with 44 hits and 27 RBI â€” second only to Johnson on the team. Greenen alsowas perfect on the base paths, stealing 12 bases in 12 attempts. "Andie is a complete hitter; she hasall the speed to lead off and all the power to bat clean-up on most teams," Phinney said. Fliss said sheloved to have Greenen catch for her and she has a great amount of respect for the way that Greenentakes control of the game when she is catching. "She is great; she keeps me in the game and makesme stay .focused," Fliss said. Phinney said he is pleased with the output of his hitters. Of the 100stolen bases on the team this season, 75 of them came from the first four hitters in the line-up. Greenen, Brandolini and Johnson accounted for 49, with the remainder coming from outfielder Sonya Joseph,who had 26. Combined, they had an 89-percent success rate. "Our top four hitters scare theopposing pitchers and teams," Phinney said. "They make them nervous and tight when any one of themstep to the plate." The team will travel May 19 through 22 to Broken Arrow, Okla., to face No. 4-seed-edSouthern California College. "I had a fun season," Johnson said, "but all of the stats and everything thathappened doesn't mean a thing once we get to Oklahoma." "I am not satisfied with just making it tothe national championships," Johnson added. "I don't want this team to be satisfied with just going to the national championship," Phinney said. "Everything we have done to this point doesn't matter when we step on the field Tuesday." ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 13 ---------- # May 15, 1998 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 13 WWU GURs Available from Independent LearningCommunications Block B: English 201 (4) Humanities: Classical Studies 260 (3); English 216 (4), 281 (4)and 283 (4); History 103 (5), 104 (5) and 112 (5); Liberal Studies 232 (4); Music 104 (3) Social Sciences: Anthropology 201 (5); Canadian-American Studies 200 (5); Linguistics 204 (4); Psychology 201 (5);Sociology 201 (5) Comparative, Gender, and Multicultural Studies: Anthropology 353 (4); East Asian 201(5) and 202 (5); English 335 (4) and 338 (4); History 280 (5); Women Studies 211 (4) Mathematics: Math102 (5), 107 (3), 124 (5), 125 (5), 156 (4), 157 (4), and 240 (3) Natural Sciences B: Environmental Studies 110 (3) See WWU '97-98 Bulletin for explanation of GURs.

Since the start of the human "reign of terror," extinctions have gone from two or threeevery thousand years to about a thousand every two or three year. During our evolution somethingsomewhere triggered a jump in our mental capacity that gave us self-realization, the ability to see beautyand above all, made us the only species that could effect the natural environment as much as it couldeffect us. . As well as being an incredible gift with a potential we may never fully realize, thisconsciousness also has bestowed upon us an awesome responsibility. This is a responsibility to thinkbeyond selfish pleasure and remember the restof the delicate web that existed in beauty billions of yearsbefore us, gave us all we have and will surely thrive again if we finally perish. While my mind wanderedthrough these, issues I came across an abstract theory. The theory was published in the 1984 article"Governance in the Planetary Age," by Catherine Burton, in In Context magazine. Catherine suggestslooking at the Earth as "Gaia", or one living being. If you see all life on Earth as part of the whole, Gaia,you can see the peak in human consciousness as the brain or nervous system of that planet being.Here's the fun part: Burton's theory suggests this "mind" has only matured to the level of a 13-year-old.This adolescence analogy clearly illustrates the sometimes-frustrating-and-Tidiculous, sometimes-beautiful- and-poetic nature of people. Just as adolescence is a definitive time for humans so it is for Gaia herself. It's a time to gather all the knowledge and experience of infancy and childhood and decide whatyou stand for; what you believe in. So if indeed we are here, teenagers ready to face a life of adulthood, maybe it's time to reevaluate our basic outlook. In a culture of development driven by immediate ratherthan long-term benefits, we see profit incentives and financial gain as motivations instead of sustainability and life itself. This planet being, this Gaia, is a resource for our use. But more than that, it is the miracleof life spinning through space that we have been given the chance to use responsibly. What strikes me is that we can make it as beautiful as we want, yet we crowd it with used car lots, McDonald's restaurantsand strip malls. We create tools like lawn mowers, cellular phones and drive-up teller machines to makelife easier while they only add to the noise and chaos of a life of stress. It's hard to deny that we havedeveloped this resource beyond natural, sustainable consumption. So here we exist at now, the time ofultimate potential. While you're here, I want to simply suggest â€” no plead â€” mat you question theestablishment that was here when we were born. Consider the potential of our situation and think yourown thoughts. Walking down Samish Way the other day, thinking about the planet, I wondered what Iwould build here if it was still an open canvas. Walking onto the driveway of McDonald's, I stared at theconcrete gliding along under me. Suddenly my stride was cut short by a low Honda Civic pulling into thedrive-thru. Watching my reflection in the driver's window as she passed, our eyes met, but she wentquickly back to her phone call without a nod. I walked on down the way. â€” Karl Horeis, Accent EditorThe Western Front Editor: Kristen T.

The rating systems required of televisionprograms does nothing for live television, and parents may no longer use the television as a baby-sitter.News cameras : "~ "' capturing a man ending his own life is a perfect example of why television viewerscan no longer trust the raring system. I am not in favor of TV censorship and feel it is the parents'responsibility to be active in what their children watch. But what happens when parents turn their backs for one minute and breaking news shows a man shooting himself in the head in traffic? This incident was a reality to those children and their parents watching television last week. Many news stationspreempted their regular programming, including two stations showing cartoons, to air live coverage of aman setting fire to his truck, killing his dog in the process. The man, on live television, rolled around onthe ground and pulled off his burning pants and underwear. The man then climbed onto an overpasssidewall as if to jump. He man then shot himself in the head. Why, at this point, didn't news stationconsider using caution in airing this incident live, especially those two channels airing children'sprogramming? Los Angeles news stations were bombarded with angry viewers calling to complain aboutthe gruesome suicide. Most of the stations apologized, but KTLA News Director Jeff Wald wasunapologetic about his decision to broadcast the suicide. "We're not in the censorship business, we arein the news business," Wald said. "It is our duty to tell people what is going on." "" I understand hispoint of view; we have a right to freedom of the press. However, shouldn't news organizations respect who is watching their shows? Is it appropriate to preempt a cartoon to air a live suicide, even if people maywant to know? But these incidents don't end in L.A. Within the last few months I can think of numeroustimes television viewers in our state were witnesses to breaking news of potentially dangeroussituations, whether it was a man dangling from an electrical wire in an airplane, or a man holdinghostages in an Auburn bank only to later shoot himself in a suicide attempt. KOMO TV provided a rareinstance of television sensitivity recently, showing an attempted suicide in taped, limited coverageform. At what point should the media be responsible for distasteful stories, or should someone be heldaccountable for allowing live coverage of potentially fatal incidents? As the Wald said, the media is in thebusiness of informing, whether you like it or not. You do have the option to shut the TV off. Needleexchange program shot down Corey Lewis COMMENTARY Last week, the White House adlministration sent a sobering message to AIDS activists and the rest of American people: The government won't tryanything new to protect its people from the spreading AIDS epidemic. Bill Clinton's administrationrejected a plan that would have allocated federal money to a nationwide needle-exchange program â€”something that is needed badly in this country. Stunningly, it was rejected even though White Houseofficials recognize that needle exchange is an effective tool in AIDS prevention and does not promote drug use. This maneuver prompted Clinton's "AIDS czar," Sandy Thurman, to renounce the decision; he hadsupported the program, adding he was insulted by the White House administration's decision. To addinjury to insult, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill last week that went beyond the WhiteHouses decision, enacting a ban on all federal funding of needle-exchange programs. But the rejection ofthis program and the administration's move- also raised an interesting question. Why should the federal government deny a group basic medical needs simply because it is perceived as a lower class ofcitizens? The debate has long raged over whether or not drug addicts are in the positions they are inbecause of their own carelessness and lack of responsibility, or whether they are helplessly ensnared bythe disease of addiction. Obviously, the officials of the White House and the House of Representatives believe the former and feel the risk of AIDS is a punishment for their bad habits. Americans will have to tackle tackle the problem of how to stop the spread of AIDS, especially among those the disease ishitting the hardest: intravenous drug users. The Clinton administration is acting in a reckless andshortsighted manner to believe a federally-funded, needle-exchange program would not be a weaponagainst this problem. America needs to set a worldwide example in the fight against AIDS. Why doesn'tthe country take pride in being the leader going into any international conflict? We, as Americanpeople, need to demand the government create a firm, feasible plan that protects every Americancitizen against AIDS. We need to demand the government realize that AIDS affects human beings, notjust drug addicts, homosexuals and promiscuous people. America should be fighting the war against adisease, not another class war. â€¢e- ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 15 ---------- May 15, 1998 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 EDITOR Klipsun Fall Quarter, 1998 EDITOR TheWestern Front Fall Quarter, 1998 EDITOR The Western Front Summer Quarter, 1998 EDITOR TheWestern Front Welcome Back, 1998 EDITOR The Planet Academic Year 1998 -1999 To apply: Submit resume and letter of intent by May 22,1998,5:00 prm. to Chair,.Student Publications Council, CH 213, MS 9101.

Harriet Spanel said they agree that ^ involving Western students in national elections, and local elections is an important way of contributing to the community. As Election Day nears, many students will have the chance to participate in the community by voting for the next president of the country as well as the state senator of District 40. The district ^ begins at Lakeway Drive and extends to Mount Vernon, and includes Lake Whatcom and the San Juan Islands. "All levels of our democracy depend on the participation of a community, which includes Western students," Spanel said. I As community members, students have a chance to influence decisions that directly influence them, she said. "Students need to vote in their own community," Spanel said. "They are affected by what happens to them, and they also have the ability to change what happens." P Students need to show their support, participate in discussions and not feel embarrassed because they have different views, Baron said. "Students should get involved and register to vote, but they also need to get involved in campaigns, learn about the issues and understand that there are | values on both sides of it," Baron said. Baron is a lifetime Whatcom County resident and is president of Baron Co., a marketing and public relations firm located in downtown Bellingham. He regularly works with Western students on research projects concerning marketing and public relations. ^ Baron's campaign issues focus on the legal reform of health care, job security and preserving farmland.

Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, speaks to an audience at Sehome High School about education, health care, workers' rights and the war in Iraq. By Timory Wilson The Western Front " An energetic crowd filled the bleachers in Sehome High School's gymnasium Saturday as Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, urged the audience to vote for the Democratic Party on Election Day. "This state is so critical because if you are able to provide the energy to guarantee that John Kerry is going to carry Washington, then the Kerry campaign can begin to focus on some of the other states, like Ohio," said Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential candidate. The topic of the forum was "What it means to be a Democrat." Kucinich addressed issues such as education, health care, worker's rights and the war in Iraq at the town hall forum. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., and state Rep. Mike Cooper also accompanied Kucinich to encourage people to vote. Kucinich is giving speeches throughout the United States promoting voting for the Kerry- Edwards campaign and other Democrats in the upcoming election, political civic activist Marian Beddill said. "This is the moment that we must decide that .we are going to step forward to reclaim our country," Kucinich said. "There are a lot of Americans who are'afraid that if they elect a new president, we are going to be unsafe. The truth is the only way we can ever be safe is to get rid of this administration." SEE Kucinich, PAGE 3 Professor wins award for slave-trade book By Jamie Badilla The Western Front Western history professor Alan Gallay said he has imagined himself as a historian or writer since age 4, and now he is the winner of a 2004 Washington State Book Award. His book, "The Indian Slave Trade: The Rise of the English Empire in the American South, 1670-1717," was one of 10 recipients of the award. Gallay also received the 2003 Bancroft award, the most prestigious award for American historians. Gallay said he wanted to reveal the role the Indian slave trade played in the establishment of the United States by providing financial assistance to the African slave trade. "It's one of the more important revisions of how we understand the origins of American slavery in the last generation of American historians," Western history department Chairman Christopher Friday said. After conducting research for 12 years prior to the completion of his book, Gallay said he learned to take pleasure in every small achievement. He said he sees writing as a means of personal communication with others. "The greatest reward is getting read because you feel like people are engaging SEE Gallay, PAGE 3 Transit initiative may increase tuition , By Timory Wilsoni The Western Front The Transit Fee Initiative Steering Committee, a group assessing the transit fee initiative, is making changes to a proposal that would give students alternative modes of transportation and increased bus " service next fall quarter. "The initiative is working towards making other forms of transportation more available and accessible for students going to and from campus," said Mark Hamilton, a Western senior and member of the committee. The committee is proposing a transit fee initiative that will give students a quarterly Viking Xpress bus pass, provide frequent bus routes in areas the Whatcom Transportation Authority is not servicing often and will make available a nighttime shuttle for Western students, said Seth Christian, a Western senior and member of the committee. Associated Students President Rachel Zommick said the transit fee is a suggestion right now and the AS board of directors will not make any official decisions about the proposal until the committee submits it to them. The transit fee would cost students $20 to $30 a quarter and would be included in tuition, but that is subject to change depending on how much it will cost for a nighttime shuttle and additional bus service, Christian said. "We want to make this an affordable program that students can get a lot out of for their money," Christian said. "Driving a car is $4,000 a year on average because of gas, maintenance and repairs. Chris Taylor/The Western Front That is $4,000 you could spend your money on Western students exit a bus at the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride; elsewhere. It is money in your pocket."

Initiative would bar shipments of nuclear waste to Hanford An initiative on the state's election ballot could change how the federal government disposes of nuclear waste.

Members of the Western community are entitled to a single free copy of each issue of The Western Front. Initiative 297 would bar the U.S. Department of Energy from shipping some nuclear waste to the Hanford Site until all the existing waste is cleaned up. The DOE, which has not taken a position on the initiative, plans to ship roughly 5,800 truckloads of low-level waste to the site in southeast Washington. Opponents say it could backfire and lead to other states banning waste that the DOE plans to ship from Hanford. Hanford already is home to 53 million gallons of highly radioactive waste in 177 underground tanks. The DOE aims- to re-bury much of that waste in a nuclear waste repository in Nevada. NATIONAL NEWS Hillary Clinton criticizes Bush administration on flu-shot crisis Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., says that when it comes to the flu vaccine, the Bush administration has its priorities wrong. Clinton said at a senior center in New York that the administration is spending approximately $5.6 billion dollars to create an anthrax vaccine instead of the few hundred million dollars to create an adequate supply of flu shots. She said the severe vaccine-shortage crisis should be a "big wake-up call." Reagan daughter sues Salvation Army for canceling speech Patti Davis, daughter of the late President Ronald Reagan, is suing the Salvation Army, saying the religious charity canceled her speech planned for one of its events because she supports stem-cell research. Her lawyer said Davis was scheduled to speak in Santa Rosa, Calif., next month for a fee of $15,000, but that the group canceled and would pay neither the speaking fee nor a $75,000 cancellation fee. A spokesman for the Salvation Army said he had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment.

"It is time that we stop the risk. It is time that we regained our country. It is time that we reestablish peace," Kucinich said. "It is time that we reclaimed our nation." Kucinich said the Bush administration is hurting workers and their organizations by taking away their abilities to make decent wages, outsourcing their jobs and sacrificing ^ their abilities to have retirement security. "At the debate, every time Senator Kerry started to talk about jobs, the president shifted the debate to education," Kucinich said. "Now, this is not an exaggeration, but we need to change the occupation of the person who is heading our nation." Kucinich said the administration created a bill that eliminated price control so the drug companies can charge Medicare as high a price as they want for prescription drugs. "John Kerry is the only one in this election who is talking about changing the nature of health insurance so that everyone has the chance for coverage," Kucinich said. Kucinich visited Western last week for a private meeting with students and said the first thing he felt was energy when he walked into the meeting. "There is energy with them and in this community, which really in a way puts you at a level that is a little bit different than even Lauren Miller/The Western Front Kucinich (right) speaks as Larsen applauds. Kucinich praised Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and accused the Bush administration of hurting workers' rights. the rest of the state," Kucinich said. "You have the ability to create the right everywhere to get people involved. That serves people's passion that moves their hearts. That causes them to see that this is the time, this is the moment to regain this country. We are ready." Larry Kalb, the second congressional district campaign field organizer, said Kucinich tells people that at a young age they can become involved in city politics. Young people can change the world to what they would like it to be, Kalb said. Western freshman Riley Sweeney said he attended the forum because he was a delegate for Kucinich in Olympia during the Democratic primary. "Kucinich encouraged people to go out and do whatever they can to help get people to vote," Sweeney said. "It doesn't take much to change someone's mind."

Students and faculty members can use the Viking Xpress bus pass as a parking permit in some areas on campus during specified times, and more than 100 local businesses offer discounts to people with bus passes, Hamilton said. The proposal is not promoting more people to drive by themselves by building more parking spaces, Hamilton said, but instead offering incentives to use alternative transportation. "The transit fee proposal is creating benefits for as many people as it can in different ways," Hamilton said. He said the committee also would like the transit fee to include building additional lighting on campus and possibly add a covered area for bike racks. Tony Russo, AS vice president for business and operations, said he and Alanna Ahern, AS vice president for campus and community affairs, are active participants in the committee and are working with the committee to develop the proposal and make it beneficial to students. The transit fee proposal is still in its preliminary stages, but Christian said the committee hopes to get the AS board's approval by the end of fall quarter. Then, it needs 600 signatures from students supporting the proposal before the initiative can be voted on in the spring, he said.

"When I graduate, this will become my community," LaNasa said. "I want to haye a job available to me in a good community, so that the decisions I make now will determine what Bellingham has to offer." Spanel has been a Washington resident since 1964 and has been the Democratic Senate chair for six years. Her late husband, Les Spanel, was the former chair of Western's physics department. Spanel's campaign issues focus on health care, education, transportation, conservation and environmentalism. "Children, elderly and women are the people that lack health insurance and need it the most," Spanel said. Increasing the availability of health care for residents by securing their insurance eligibility, condensing health-care programs and requiring small businesses to contribute to the cost of their employees' health- care costs are some ways of solving the issue, Spanel said. Spanel's plans for improving transportation include, improving the ferry system and highways, as well as including other alternatives such as trains and more buses. Spanel said she participated in the development of the Lake Whatcom Watershed Management Plan, instigated pipeline safety legislation in Whatcom County and worked toward the expansion of Bellingham parks and reserves. Spanel said keeping local water and air clean is crucial to maintaining a strong community. "The preservation, of our natural resources, is important," Spanel said. "We use only what we need and save the rest for future generations."

Henger, who is from Hungary, said she needed a lot of help adjusting to the United States when she first arrived. The Internet helped for banking, she said, but she has also been asking a lot of questions. When it comes to sending mail back to Hungary, Henger said the process in the United States is confusing. "(Adjusting) has been OK," Henger said. "Everyone is really nice and friendly." Henger said she will only stay for fall quarter. She is in her fourth of five years of study in Hungary and came to Western as part of her industrial design program. For the most part, international students are finding their way at Western, International Programs adviser Richard Bruce said. One of the adjustment issues international students seem to have is with the U.S. postal system and it is costing them money, said Ruth Koning, a campus post-office station operator. "We usually work pretty well with (international students) to explain things if they ask," said Debbie Lindquist, a part- time employee in the campus post office. Many countries have a different postage system than that of the United States, Lindquist said. In other countries, such as Japan, letters are addressed with the delivery address in the upper left corner and the return address in the center of the envelope, she said. When the mail is addressed incorrectly, the international students get their mail returned to them, and then they have to pay to resend the letter after they address it correctly, Koning said. Koning said most problems occur with postcards but occasionally with letters and packages. She also said post-office employees try to pay more attention when an international student comes in so they can be sure the mail is addressed correctly and save the student time and money. "A lot of times, we can catch it before they send it," Koning said. Koning said she has created a template to make things easier for international students. The template she uses right now is in the Roman alphabet and Japanese characters called Kanji, as well as in English, Koning said. Bruce said some other issues international students face when first arriving in the United States is opening bank accounts, obtaining cell phones and buying American food.

Parks and Recreation may cut back outdoor-program funding By Timory Wilson The Western Front Whatcom County Parks and Recreation may increase the prices of its outdoor programs and limit the amount of multiple-day excursions offered in the upcoming year. But the addition of half-day programs should attract Western students, said Michael McFarlane, director of Whatcom County Parks and Recreation. "Two things are changing," McFarlane said. "We have to increase the number of users on programs and reduce the amount of subsidies on programs." The department could reduce the number of multiple-day outdoor programs and adding shorter programs to involve the general public, said Dan Taylor, Whatcom County Parks and Recreation commission chairman. During the next few weeks, however, the department will calculate price increases for all outdoor programs for next year because of staff limitations and reduced subsidies, Taylor said. Rob Bunnett, the Whatcom County Senior Center's manager, said the main reason for the price increase on multiple-day programs, such as overnight kayaking trips, is the department's need to break even. It needs to fully recover the costs for outdoor programs, which the county will not pay for through subsidies, Bunnett said. Another reason prices may increase is because the department will hire private contractors to lead multiple-day excursions instead of staff leaders, Taylor said. Taylor said the department will redirect 50 percent of its employees to providing staff at Semiahmoo Park, Bay Horizon and other northern parks, which will result in fewer staff available to lead outdoor programs. The price of the programs depends on what is involved in the outdoor event. For example, a one-day kayak trip costs $48, compared to an overnight kayak trip to Cypress Island, which costs $140, said Carl Prince, the outdoor program coordinator for Whatcom County Parks and Recreation. The department also will add shorter, more educational half-day programs such as natural-history hikes and bird = = = = = = = = = = = : = : = walks, McFarlane 'Two things are chang- sa[^ ing.

Students who are not from this area may want to participate in the programs to learn Michael McFarlane Whatcom County Parks and Recreation director introductory how to snowshoe or cross-country ski, Taylor said. Kristin Haas, a Western senior and excursions and instructions co-coordinator for the Outdoor Center, said changes to the county's Parks and Recreation outdoor programs should not increase the community's usage of the Outdoor Center. The Outdoor Center does not advertise to the general public, and the programs are $5 to $30 more expensive for community members to participate in than Western students, said Joel Todd, a Western senior and equipment shop coordinator for the Outdoor Center. If the Whatcom County Council accepts the changes to . the department's outdoor programs, the changes will take effect in January, Taylor said.

Six candidates answered students' questions, which a moderator delivered. Issues affecting Washington were the focus of the forum. The 'candidates discussed the traffic problem on the Guide Meridian, the importance of economic stimulation, creating jobs in Washington and the rising costs of tuition. "There's not a lot of jobs you can get with just a high-school education," said Kelli Linville, who is an incumbent Democratic state representative for the 42nd district. Linville said affordable and quality education should be available to everyone. "We have to keep focused on the middle class that doesn't qualify for financial aid but can't pay for college outright," said Republican Rep. Doug Ericksen, who also is running for re- election in the 42nd district. Linville said, the best financial-aid program is still low tuition. To increase funding for schools and universities, the economy needs stimulation, Washington State Senate Republican candidate Gerald Baron said. The candidates explained in their final statement why college students should care about each candidate. "I think that it is really important for all of us to be clear about who you vote for," said Robin Bailey, a Democratic candidate for Ericksen's state representative position in the 42nd district. Democratic state Sen. Harriet Spanel highlighted her work on local issues, including health care and the environment. Elana Bean/The Western Front State Rep.

Ericksen spoke about creating a better life for the next generation of Washingtonians. "We can find a balance between our environment and job opportunities," Ericksen said. Students had a chance to see the candidates speak in a relaxed situation. "This is a good chance for people said Wes Brown, a student representative of the Associated Students of Whatcom Community College. "It's more of a personal interaction." John Hobberlin, a Republican running for state representative in the 42nd district, did not attend the forum because he is recovering from triple coronary bypass surgery after he suffered a heart attack. His campaign manager Matt Cole represented him at the forum and said he expects Hobberlin to have a full recovery. "I'm glad I came. It was just enough to see what basic issues the candidates stood for," said Elizabeth Tipperey, a Whatcom student who attended the forum. "It inspired me to do some research of my own."

Students can register for carpools online By Cara Shaw The Western Front Western freshman Ardith Feroglia scrambled to find a ride home to Wenatchee for the weekend last year. A three-to four-hour drive was impossible for her without a car. Buses and trains were too expensive and did not fit with her schedule. In desperation, Feroglia turned to another source. Fortunately for students such as Feroglia, the Viking Union and Student Activities has created the Rider/Driver Board, a Web site in which students can seek a ride or offer one in order to save gas money. Unfortunately for those same students, however, the service has only 14 registered users. "I think there are people out there who could benefit from this service â€” they just don't know about it," Western freshman Becky Engley said. Students can benefit from this program by finding a ride or sharing the cost of driving with a passenger, but a ride- matching service is only as useful as the number of people who log onto it, Western alternative transportation coordinator Carol Berry said. "Any ride-matching service is dependent on the registering of rides available, not just rides needed," Berry said. Because of the absence of registered users, Feroglia was stuck without a ride. She said she found a ride just in time to visit her home for the weekend. Engley, a Vancouver, Wash., resident who does not have a car, said she had never heard about the Rider/Driver Board but would consider using the service if she could not find a ride home with one of her friends. According to the board Web site, students have posted only nine announcements asking for rides since the Associated Students created the site last year. Also according to the Web site, the most students that have ever been on the Web site at one time is three, which occurred on March 31. Western freshman Amy Gibson said she believes that students are not taking advantage of the board because they do not know it exists. Gibson said she also thought the idea of riding home with a complete stranger would deter some people from using the service. "People would rather ride with their friends than strangers," Gibson said. Besides long journeys home, the board also can serve students who need shorter rides. "It could be helpful in locating carpool partners for daily rides as well as longer trip-share rides," Berry said. Business professor receives first college teaching fellowship award By Kara Johnson The Western Front Western professor Peter Haug became the first person to be named the College of Business and Economics' Distinguished Teaching Fellow this past February at Western. The college honored him Oct. 15 at a Teaching Scholarship Day luncheon. Haug, a professor of manufacturing management in the department of decision sciences, gave a speech on his "Five Pillars of Teaching Operations." He said the five pillars are passion, preparation, process, publications and people. The college nominated Haug for the collegewide meeting but he received the award in a Friday presentation. Courtesy of the Distinguished Teaching Fellowship Professor Peter Haug. award in a in February, To be eligible for the award, Haug had to be tenured, as well as nominated by a student, faculty or staff member. Haug has numerous academic accomplishments, including teaching and studying in China, Scotland and Iceland, but he is best known for his hard work and dedication, said Joseph Garcia, Haug's colleague and coordinator of the Teaching Scholarship Day. "(Haug) works hard and has high standards for himself and others," Garcia said. "He is passionate and interested in people. He has innovative ideas with staying power. Most of all, he is tireless." Garcia said Haug is not only a great resource for faculty but also for students. "Peter goes to bat for students â€” he has them as his utmost priority, and he looks at them as not only students but as future professionals," Garcia said. Assistant professor of decision sciences Chris Sandvig, who nominated^ Haug for the Distinguished Teaching Fellowship, agreed with Garcia, saying that Western reaps the benefits of Haug's work, but the biggest beneficiaries are the students. Haug created the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Program* which was the main reason Sandvig nominated him. Students can earn a Bachelor of Science with the program and participate in internships, which are the foundation of the program. "I have tremendous respect for^ him as a person," Sandvig said. "He created a program that gives students a wonderful education and that receives a tremendous amount of industry input and support." Haug said he felt honored to be named-the first Distinguished Teaching Fellow, an award that lasts for three years. "I strive to be a professor who demonstrates and inspires," he said. "But I am the first to admit that I constantly seek ways to achieve the status of an inspirational teacher." Exchange: Foreign students find Bellingham a good transition Continued from Page 6 Bellingham for necessities like groceries has been difficult. Western has three different programs for international students each year, Bruce said. He said international students come with varying degrees of knowledge about American culture and the English language. The international exchange students come to Western either for a quarter or sometimes to earn a degree. Many of these students have transferred from community colleges but still have some of the same transition issues that students face when coming from places outside the United States, Bruce said. Western senior Quoc Pham is an international student from France and started at Western in fall 2001. He said the transition to the United States was difficult because he came from Paris to Bellevue, which he said felt boring. He also said that without a car and friends, he felt depressed. Pham said he transferred to Western as a junior. He said he has a few family members in the area to help him with some of the cultural _________ differences like banking, cell phones and mail but being in the area for a few years before coming to Western, made it much easier. "When I first got to Western, the transition was a lot easier because Bellingham is a small community," Pham said. "It's supportive and easier to connect with people." International students know that moving to the United States will be difficult, but they work with the International Programs advisers to get 'When I first got to Western, the transition was a lot easier because Bellingham is a small community.'

The Georgia man told police he set his trailer on fire after watching the disaster movie and drinking beer. Adams, 32, walked into the Crisp County Law Enforcement Center early Thursday and told deputies he had burned down the double-wide home. He told deputies that after watching "The Day After Tomorrow," a special-effects extravaganza depicting deadly natural disasters caused by global warming, and drinking nine or 10 beers, he decided to set fire to pillows on his bed. When asked why, Crisp County Sheriff Donnie Haralson said, "I have asked that question myself.... The whole thing just doesn't really make sense." Haralson said Adams has been charged with arson. Circus elephants rampage, trample man's yard and ruin hedges A homeowner in southern Sweden filed a police complaint after four circus elephants broke loose from their trainers and rah into his backyard, trampling the hedge and the lawn, a police spokesman said Thursday. Mattias Lindell, 29, said the animals completely ruined his garden, after animal trainers working for German-based Circus Mustang lost control of the elephants when removing them from the vehicles in which they traveled. The circus had put up its tent only a few feet away from Lindell's house outside Helsingborg, on Sweden's southwestern coast, he told The Associated Press. He filed a police complaint, seeking damages for the destroyed hedge and ruined lawn, which was "just turned into dirt," he said. It was not the ruined yard, however, that made Lindell angry. "I have a 3-month-old baby who often sleeps in the garden in a carriage," he said. "If he had been doing that when this happened, things could have been a lot worse." Would-be bank robber gets laughed at by clerk A bank robber put a mask on his face, pulled out a gun and demanded money in a bank in Zagreb, Croatia. But when the bank clerk laughed in his face, the would-be robber was so humiliated he just ran away. The bungled holdup occurred midday Thursday at a small bank on Zagreb's main square, police said. The 31-year-old clerk, identified only as Martina S., "laughed aloud" at the threat from the bandit because she knew she was protected by bulletproof glass, police spokeswoman Gordana Vulama said. After cackling at the thief, she picked up the phone to call police, Vulama said. Seeing that, the failed robber spun around and fled the scene. Doctor says woman has sleep-sex disorder An Australian woman claims she had sex with strangers while she slept and later had no recollection of her encounters because of a sleeping disorder, her Sydney doctor said Thursday. The middle-aged woman had no idea that she was sneaking from her house at night in search for sex with random strangers until her partner woke, discovered she was missing from the bedroom and found her having sex with another man, said Peter Buchanan, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital sleep disorder physician, to The Sydney Morning Herald. Her partner was already aware that she was a sleepwalker and also had been confused by condoms he found strewn around the house, Buchanan said. Buchanan will discuss the case when he lectures on sleep sex â€” the disorder has yet to be given a formal title â€” at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Sleep Association in Sydney at the weekend. "It is very complex, elaborated motor behavior during sleep," Buchanan told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio Thursday. 'Teople are often stunned and overwhelmed when they're told what they've been doing." The partners and doctors of people suffering from the disorder often do not believe the acts were committed while they slept, he said. "It's very stressful both for them, for their partner or for their relationship," Buchanan said. "It also promotes an intense sense of embarrassment on their part, their partner's behalf and this inhibits people coming forward to seek potentially helpful professional intervention."

Members of the group organized the first of what will be a routine beach cleanup every two months at Squalicum beach on the morning of Oct. .10. Surfrider began in the '80s when surfers were getting sick from water pollution and wanted to know why, said Jen Prince, chair of the Northwest Straits Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. Surfrider originated in California, created by surfers in an effort to stop a California pulp mill from dumping pollution into the surf beach at Humboldt Bay. Surfrider is a nonprofit environmental organization with 37,000 members and 60 chapters internationally, including three in Washington state. The organization celebrated its 20th anniversary on June 17. Bellingham residents Mike Wheeler and Jodi Mau founded the Northwest Straits Chapter in Bellingham as an Associated Students club in 2000. Squalicum Harbor Beach is a secluded area where debris from the Nooksack River, garbage blown from boats and remnants of alcoholic-beverage containers tend to collect, cleanup coordinator Nancy Heiser said. "Everything we do has coastal impacts," said Ian Miller, Washington state field coordinator for Surfrider. "(If you) dump oil on your lawn it will eventually end up in the Gulf of Mexico." Heiser said a lot of the trash on the beach is hazardous to wildlife. The plastic six-pack rings look like plankton to some animals, and if they ingest it, it can kill them. Miller said Surfrider began the cleanup process in fall because summer is a prime time of excessive littering on the beach due to high usage. In the winter, beaches collect a lot of debris from heavy winds. The cleanups will be a year-round effort, he said. The members of Surfrider also have to base the cleanup schedule on when a low tide will be present, Prince said. Prince received a bachelor's degree in biology at Western in 2001 and then moved to California for three years to work with the California State Parks Service, where she heard about the Surfrider Foundation. She moved back to Bellingham this past spring, joined the local Surfrider chapter and is now working on her postbaccalaureate at the Woodring College of Education. Surfrider also is a partner in the Olympic Coast Cleanup, which Miller said drew 500 people last year. Cleaning beaches from Cape Flattery to Ocean Shores, Miller said the group pulled 15 tons of debris from beaches in 2003. He said it was the most extensive cleanup in Washington state. Prince said she recalled one memorable cleanup in July in La Push, near Forks, where hundreds of people came to support the cause. "Everyone was cleaning up with a Surfrider garbage bag in their hands," she said. Ruth Wetzel/The Western Front Members of the Northwest Straits chapter of the Surfrider Foundation gather at the beach clean-up at Squalicum Harbor Beach on Oct. 10. Heiser said the Fourth of July tends to be a garbage-producing event, and by the end of the day, the group had a 25-foot-by-25- foot pile of full garbage bags. "We had these plastic bags over our shoulders praying that nothing leaked out," Heiser said, recalling another particularly messy cleanup. "(Cleaning the beach is) a good excuse to go to the beach," Heiser said. Former Northwest chapter chairman Ryan McElice said people portray Surfrider as a surfing organization, but it is foremost an environmental organization. It attracts surfers because they are directly affected by the environment and have an interest in protecting water quality, he said. In addition to beach cleanups, the foundation organizes programs from water-quality monitoring to educational programs about the impact to the coast by watershed activities to the community, McElice said. In February, the local chapter went to Mount Baker and set up a booth to provide information about watersheds. In 25-degree weather, members of the group watched the sun rise over Mount Shuksan as they set up their booth with bare hands. McElice said that it felt strange to be driving east and not west, going toward the mountains instead of the water. "Surfing? What are you people doing up here?" McElice said, imitating the initial response people had upon seeing the Surfrider booth at Mount Baker. But even from different locations, people from the mountains and from the coast can share the same love for the environment, McElice said.

Bellingham resident Helen Thayer and her husband traveled on foot 1,500 miles across the Gobi Desert after doctors told her she might never walk again By Shabnam Mojtahedi Special to The Western Front At age 63, few women leave the comfort of their established lives to go on an adventure. Helen Thayer is not the typical woman. As an adventurer, author, photographer and a woman of many "firsts," Thayer has defied limits and overcome every disadvantage that has come her way. Her most recent adventure, a trek across the Mongolian Gobi Desert, challenged Thayer with winds of more than 90 mph, near death because of dehydration, temperatures of up to 126 degrees and near imprisonment by border patrol officers. A year before leaving for Mongolia, Thayer said she was rear- ended by a car traveling at high speeds. Doctors told her that she might live the rest of her life in a wheelchair, but Thayer said she was determined to make it through therapy and accomplish her dream of crossing the entire Gobi Desert on foot. Thayer and her husband, Bill, said they left for Mongolia in the summer of 2001 and walked approximately a 1,500 mile path across the desert. Helen Thayer presented her pictures and the story of her adventure Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art, where not enough seating was available for the large audience that gathered to watch Thayer's third presentation at the museum. Event coordinator Sibyl Sanford, who sponsored the presentation, spoke of Thayer as an inspiration. "This is the third time I've brought her here, and I just find her so amazing," Sanford said. Making-her "way to the podium with a walker, Thayer hardly looked the picture of the first woman to walk alone to the magnetic North Pole, the first woman to walk across the Sahara or the first to trek the entire length of the Gobi Desert. Equipped with a bright red tent, a turquoise sleeping bag, supplies and two borrowed camels named Tom and Jerry, Thayer and her husband started across the rocky desert. Thayer said it was the second time they had traveled to Mongolia, so they were already accustomed to the lifestyle and the language. A few days into the trek, Thayer said they experienced their first scare when black clouds washed over them while lightening illuminated the thundering sky. The wind started blowing so strongly it lifted the Thayers into the air and slammed them back onto the rocky ground. Thayer said they clung to the camels for three hours. "We were wondering if we were going to live, because it was so violent and so dark," Thayer said. They did not turn around, however, because Thayer said that what she learned from her adventures was to take everything "one step at a time." "We have to keep knowing that our goal is ahead of us," Thayer said. Bellingham resident Kristi Coy attended the presentation and said she has seen Thayer speak several times. Shabnam Mojtahedi/ Special to The Western Front "Every time she has new and Helen Thayer and her husband, Bill Thayer, greet listeners at the What-interesting tales of experiences and com Museum on Oct. 2. insights on the world," Coy said. "They inspire me to try new things and learn about different areas." Thayer has written three books about her adventures, and she and her husband established the Adventure Classroom program in 1988, she said, to teach children the importance of setting and accomplishing goals, even through adversity. Thayer said another reason for traveling to remote places of the world is to spread awareness and respect for indigenous people and diverse cultures. Her pictures expressed the stories of nomadic Mongolian families and showed her admiration for different people and ways of life. "The people were definitely the most memorable part of being in Mongolia," Thayer said. "When you travel, you have to do what people do in that country and leave your own customs at home." Western gives adults a chance to return to fitness By Nick Schmidt The Western Front In 1990, Bob Parker was an employee of GeorgiarPacific trying to get a free massage. GP was offering free massages and a tuition wavier to employees who enrolled in Western's Adult Physical Education program. "I had so much fun that I have kept coming back," Parker said. "The group becomes like a family over time, and it's a lot more fun than walking on a treadmill." Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, approximately 15 to 18 people in the morning and seven to eight people in the evening come to participate in the program. The program, which the physical education and health and recreation department began at Western 24 years Nick Schmidt/The Western Front ago, exists to study bone Members of the Adult Physical Education Program loss in middle-aged women. play soccer in an evening class. The program was so popular among the participants that it continued as a class that the department offered with some of the original participants. Rose-Mary Barstad, the grant and contract supervisor for the Bureau of Faculty Research at Western, has been coming to the class for 10 years, she said. Barstad said it was finally the right time in her life to begin participating. Barstad said the games they play make exercising easier and more fun than a regular gym. The newest member of the evening class is Dan Larguier, 56, a 26-year veteran and retired employee of the Bellingham Bon- Macy's. "I was normally up on campus auditing classes at Western, and I was here, so it just seemed to work," Larguier said. While Larguier still has a gym membership, he said he still likes attending the class because it forces him to exercise, which is something Larguier said his doctor has been pushing him to do. "The class reminds me of being younger, and at school recess, I loved playing the games and that is what we do in class," Larguier said. Rachel Martin, a Western graduate student and course instructor, said the course is offered on* a quarter-to-quarter basis, but most of the those enrolled keep coming back in addition to a couple of new members every quarter. Martin said that in the morning session, the class works on strength training in the Carver Gym weight room. In the evening, the class usually does a sport. "So far this quarter we gt;v$ played the group's favorite â€” floor hc|||gy, lacrosse, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, arMÂ§|i#up choice, which is usually floor hock^^plfertin said. "And when we aren't playing floor hockey, they.are usually complaining about missing or wanting to play floor hockey." Martin said participants are eligible to take a full fitness test, a flexibility test, a bike test, body fat composition and a food/diet analysis. ---------- Western Front 2004-10-19 - Page 12 ---------- 12 â€¢ The Western Front FEATURES October 19,2004 Building a place The Bellingham Farmers' Market is ready to escape the rain in a new structure the city is building for it By Stefani Harrey The Western Front The weather was gray and misty at 10 a.m. Saturday â€” a good day to stay inside. A few drops of rain were all that was necessary to cause the bands to cancel and a few vendors to stay at home. Only late in the afternoon did the sun finally peek out â€” much too late for the Harvest Festival to begin. Rick Wright, Bellingham Rotary Club Community Projects Committee chair, said that if everything works out, next year the Harvest Festival will go on as scheduled even in the rain. It will be housed inside the new, permanent Depot Market Square structure, which the city is building in the parking lot that is home to the current Bellingham Farmers Market downtown on Railroad Avenue. Wright said he hopes construction will start at the beginning of next year and be finished by summer, weather permitting. He said the market should be in the depot next season. Market manager Robin Crowder said the market has a Harvest Festival each October. Vendors bring their pumpkins and squash and set up displays. Market visitors can win prizes for voting in a scarecrow contest between the vendors. Crowder said the festival usually features the Bellingham High School Alumni Band, which plays throughout the day, and the band Fritz and the Freeloaders. The bands were slated to play Saturday, but because of the rain, both cancelled. Without the music and with the rain, the festival fell through, she said. The market had smaller crowds than usual, and the vendors worked to keep their displays from blowing over and getting wet. A few vendors still displayed their pumpkins and squashes, but fewer put up their scarecrows. When it is raining, far fewer people shop at the market, but if a permanent structure with a roof was built, customers could shop without consider the weather, Wright said. Wright said he and Brian Griffin, a fellow Bellingham Rotary Club member, have been working with the Economic Development Council to obtain funding. The council accepted its proposal last week, he said. "It was the missing link in the finance chain," Wright said. The depot will receive public funding from a State Capital Programs Grant, a real-estate excise tax, an arterial street fund and a wastewater fund through the city of Bellingham, Wright said. The entire cost is $2.5 million. The Rotary Club is collecting private donations to raise more than $500,000, he said. As of Saturday, the committee still needed to raise $214,000. Wright said he and Griffin are doing fund raising at the market each week. He said market customers can purchase $50 engraved paving stones for the sidewalk of the new structure, or they can buy a $500 engraved, bronze vegetables for placement along the walk. Wright said people can buy other objects, such as drinking fountains, benches and stone tablets, that will surround the structure when it is done. People can purchase $5 raffle tickets to win an engraved paving stone and other prizes each market day. Stefani Harrey/The Western Front Bellingham resident David Zhan plays guitar at the Bellingham "A lot of people who come want to Farmers'Market Saturday, Oct. 16. support the market but can't afford it," Wright said. Wright said the market is in the last leg of the private fund-raising effort. With the last bit of money the market hopes to raise, Griffin and Wright have contracted to purchase part of the Skagit River Bridge trestle. The bridge crosses the Skagit River near Burlington but an new bridge is replacing it. The Rotary Club is helping to recycle it, Wright said. "It's going to be a mega recycling effort," Wright said. Another fund-raiser for the structure will be a rummage sale, said Pat Hirschkorn, a vendor who sells eggs, pumpkins, vases, bird feeders and other various items at the market. The rummage sale will be Nov. 13 at the Rome Grange on the Mt. Baker Highway, Hirschkorn said. She said they will also have a bake sale, antiques and coffee. Once the market is built, it will be a multipurpose structure that will be reminiscent of the 1895 train station on Railroad Avenue, Wright said. Garage doors which will encircle the building can be pulled down if the weather is bad. The doors will provide shelter for the vendors and their customers in all seasons. "Having to handle the tents is incredible, especially in this kind of weather," Hirschkorn said, speaking about the wind and rain of Saturday morning. Wright said he hopes the market season will extend longer with the depot and be used for other activities like dog shows, antique shows, flea markets and public meetings. "The farmers market will be the anchor tenant of the depot," Wright said. "But it will be a public building. Anyone can lease it from the city for anything they want." The market season is almost over for this year. It runs on Saturday for the rest of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Crowder said. The fund-raising efforts will be in full effect for the rest of the season in the Depot Market Square booth, Wright said. Sure.,.

These are classic elements of a surfing environment. Although Bellingham does not fit into this picture with its bay and dreary winters, two women decided to make Bellingham the home of their line of surfing products. Bellingham residents Kim Lund, 30, and Tracy Cereghino, 34, launched Salty Girls in October 2003. After knowing one another for 12 years and sharing a mutual love of surfing, they started daydreaming about products that would make surfing, more specifically surfing gear, smell good. "On those (surfing trips) together, we were always talking about health and beauty products that would be great to have as women surfers," Cereghino said. "We weren't finding what we wanted in the shops, so we decided to try our hand at it." The women make everything from lip balm to swimsuit saver, which are designed to prolong the life of one's swimwear. All products are available on their Web site. "We focused on using natural ingredients particularly aromatherapy and homeopathy because what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it," Lund said. Cereghino grew up on Mercer Island, and Lund is a Bellingham native, Cereghino said. Cereghino moved to Bellingham to attend Western, and she met Cereghino while working at Mount Baker Ski Area. They followed different career paths and started families. Their relationship grew as they started surfing and began thinking about products they wanted for their gear. Their favorite surfing spots are Cannon Beach, Ore., and areas near Vancouver Island, Cereghino said. "Starting a snowboard company would have made more sense with our proximity to the mountains," Cereghino said. A large surfing community exists in Bellingham, she said. In June, Lund and Cereghino drove to the Queen of Surf Competition in Pacific Beach, Calif, to launch their products. "We stopped at surf stores along the way to introduce our products, and we were amazed at the response," Lund said. Lund said that they have not received a negative response yet from their packaging. Twenty-five shops in Oregon and California sell Salty Girl products. Sojourn, a Bellingham store, also ordered products. Salty Girls products will be available in Bellingham starting in November, Sojourn manager Michelle Millar said. "We like to support local companies," Miller said. Sojourn will carry most of the Salty Girls products except for the products geared specifically to surfers. But Millar said they might consider selling those products during the summer. "Things are going really well," Lund said. "We thought our products would be in smaller shops, but that's not the case. Larger shops are picking up our products as well." Photo courtesy of the Salty Girls Kim Lund and Tracy Cereghino, the owners of Salty Girl, pose with their beauty product line. Salty Girl products will be available in November at Sojourn's in downtown Bellingham.

Women's soccer breaks three-game scoring drought Midfielder Lindsey Cox scores twice as Western defeats Central Washington University By Nick Schmidt The Western Front The Western women's soccer team's 316- minute scoreless . streak finally snapped three minutes into Monday's victory against rival Central Washington University. Western improved its record to 8-6-1. Western junior midfielder Lindsey Cox found the back of the net twice in the Vikings' 2-1 victory against the Wildcats. "We definitely got the result we wanted â€” a win," Western head coach Travis Connell said. "We've got to find a way to have more energy in the first half and finish teams off in the first half." Cox's first goal came only three minutes into the match off a cross from Western junior midfielder Lizzy Page. Central tied the match in the 23rd minute when Wildcat sophomore midfielder Tina Thorne kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the net off a corner kick by freshman midfielder Hannah Bridges. Cox scored the eventual game-winner four minutes into the second half when she finished a cross from Western junior defender Erin Casey. Despite the close score, Western dominated on both sides of the ball. The Vikings managed 17 shots on goal for the match and kept the Wildcats palyers to only three shots, well below their game average of 10. Cox's two goals doubled her season total. "Lindsey had one of the best games of her career, and she definitely helped us out," Connell said. Despite managing nine shots in the first half and eight in the second, Cox said she still was unhappy about the team's slow play in the fii^f half.

Volleyball bounces back against Saint Martin's after loss to Central By Elizabeth Adamack The Western Front Western's volleyball team lost to Central Washington University after an aggressive match Friday, but it came back Saturday to win in a slow-starting game against Saint Martin's College at Carver Gym. Western's team is 12-6 overall and 8-3 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Western head coach Diane Flick said she was pleased with her team's performance Saturday, especially after the loss to Central. "I think we did a good job, especially coming off quite an emotional match the night before," Flick said. "I think we played real steady especially toward the end of games, and that is where we have let up in the past. I am really pleased with our effort." The Vikings got off to a slow start against the Saints. The first game was close, but Western finally pulled away with a kill by Western redshirt freshman outside hitter Jaime Anderson to make the score 21-20. The second game was similar until a block by Western senior middle blocker Meghan Evoy and junior setter Kristen Urdahl pushed the Vikings ahead 21-20.

But I thought we did a good job of picking up when we needed to." Friday's match against Central was a record-ending night for the Vikings. The Vikings had not lost a home match in 23 tries.

"I think we all thought we were going to win the game. We had momentum," Western junior running back Duncan Sherrard said. "It was just a tough way {the game) came down." The Vikings' defense, which gave up 27 first-half points, held the Lumberjacks to only one second-half touchdown. That touchdown made the difference in the game as Western lost 34-27 and fell to 1-2 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. "It's tough to celebrate anything when you lose like this to Humboldt State," Western senior quarterback Steve Nichols said. "It's a letdown." Trailing 27-10 in the third quarter, Western traded punts with Humboldt until Western senior kicker Michael Koenen knocked in a 49-yard field goal to make the score 27-13. Sherrard ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the first of which was set up by a 43-yard punt return by Western junior wide receiver Andy Olson. The scores tied the game at 27 with less than five minutes to play in the fourth quarter. Sherrard carried the ball 27 times for 156 yards and scored two touchdowns in the game. On its next possession, Humboldt responded with what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown, thanks to a four-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. Humboldt junior running back Lionel Arnold's 49- yard run set up the Lumberjacks' go-ahead touchdown run by junior running back Daniel Nembhard. "I think the whole team came out in the second half ready to play, but it was just not quite enough," Sherrard said. "(Being down early was) a tough hole to dig ourselves out of, we just couldn't quite do it." Western head coach Rob Smith said the Vikings' defense, after giving up 27 first- quarter points, knew that Humboldt would Chris Taylor/The Western Front Dustin Creager, Humboldt State University senior wide receiver and all-time Great Athletic Conference leading receiver, celebrates after catching his first touchdown during the first quarter. Creager caught 11 passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns against Western Saturday at Civic Field. be running the ball on what turned out to be its game-winning drive. "You spend all half fighting back and getting back to even," Smith said. "Then, it was four (running) plays right up the middle where they just obviously handled us up front and then got the job done. We did not." Western started strong, scoring on its first play from scrimmage with a 76- yard touchdown reception from Nichols to Olson. Olson finished the game with 110 receiving yards and one touchdown, while Nichols completed 17 of his 24 passes for 208 yards. Nichols had one touchdown pass and one interception. Smith said that after Western's first score, the team might have temporarily lost its focus, allowing Humboldt to gain momentum. "I don't know if our players thought 'Hey, this is going to be easy' because of (Western's first-play touchdown) or what," Smith said. "There are just some things that are really disappointing in terms of when an offense comes out and says 'We're going to run the football, here we come, stop us,' and we don't. That's frustrating."

In a ridiculous move made on Oct 5, NASCAR docked Earnhardt 25 points from the point standings for using an expletive following his win at Talladega on Oct. 3. The deduction places Earnhardt total score of 5,826 just 24 points behind leader Kurt Busch. NASCAR punished Earnhardt for telling a reporter in a post-race interview that his fifth victory at Talladega "Don't mean shit right now. Daddy's won here 10 times," according to ESPN.com. The move by NASCAR shows why race-car driving will always be a second-rate sport in this country. NASCAR is making itself a joke by allowing a committee of rule makers to have as much influence on a race as the drivers do. Changing the results of a competition after it has taken place is an absolute joke. Baseball would never dock a team that just won a one-run game two runs because the manager used an expletive in the post-game interview. Neither would a football team that won a game by three points later be docked a touchdown from that game because a player used an expletive in an interview when describing that particular touchdown. This would never , , happen because baseball and football officials understand that the results of the game should be decided on the playing field. "I think we're the only sport that takes points off of the board after they've been scored," said Richie Gilmore, director for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Point docking is not the only place where NASCAR is in the wrong. An expletive should only be punished if it is meant to cause damage to another driver or an official. Earnhardt was simply trying to downplay his accomplishment, 'NASCAR is making itself a joke by allowing a committee of rule makers to have as much influence on a race as the drivers do.' while at the same time complimenting his father â€” a beloved figure in the NASCAR world. This was not a case of a racer trying to provoke another racer or insult an official and, therefore, should not be punished as if it were the same offense. NASCAR, however, will not reconsider. Since a drivers meeting in February, when drivers were notified that NASCAR was taking = = = = =_= = violations of FCC guidelines seriously, two other drivers have received the same sentence as Earnhardt Jr., according to ESPN.com. NASCAR is missing the point. If NASCAR wants to be a family sport and fine a driver for using profanity on television that is fine. But to use the power to alter the outcome of the event with a 25-point penalty as if Earnhardt finished fifth instead of first is ridiculous. Until NASCAR realizes that the outcome of an event should be decided on the track and not in the boardroom, it will always be a second-tier sport. Soecer: To make the postseason the Vikings need to win out and get help Continued from Page 14 just glad we could go out there and get a win," she said. Connell said he was glad to see the team bounce back after its 2-0 loss to NSCAA/Adidas Division II rannkings No. 1 ranked Seattle Pacific University on Saturday. Western has been scoreless since Oct. 6 when it battled NCAA Division II Seattle University, ranked No. 10, to a 0-0 tie. Western lost the next two games against National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Simon Fraser University, ranked No. 6, Oct. 12 and again on Oct. 16 against SPU. "It was hard coming out of such an emotional loss to SPU," Cox said. "That was why we probably came out in the first half and played kind of slow against Central." As far as postseason dreams, Connell said the women will have to win the rest of the games on their schedule. "We can only control what we can, and that is our next game against Northwest Nazarene University," he said. "We just have to focus on that." The women will travel to Northwest Nazarene Oct. 23. Western's next home match will be at 4 p.m. Sunday against Grand Canyon University at Mount Vernon High School.

Youth not an excuse for crimes Crystal Oberholtzer COMMENTARY In a society where juveniles commit crimes just as horrific as adults commit, relieving juveniles of the consequences their adult counterparts face is irresponsible and naive. The U.S. Supreme Court is debating whether to abolish the death penalty for juveniles. That decision stems from the case of Christopher Simmons. The _ = = = __ Missouri courts overthrew his factors include the juvenile's sophistication, maturity, environmental situation and home life, as well as aggravating and mitigating factors, according to the criminal justice Web site. Those determining factors, which are not required to be addressed in adult death-penalty sentencing, help to determine whether a juvenile can be considered among the "worst of the worst" criminals and deserving of the death penalty. Because concrete precautions are in effect, sentencing a juvenile to death is not a rash decision. The Virginia courts' recent decision to sentence Lee Boyd Malvo, the 17-year-old Washington, D.C., sniper, to life in prison instead of giving him the death . penalty is proof that sentencing .. . . j juveniles is a careful process. Juvenile criminals Factors leading tQ Malv0,s involvement in the sniper death sentence because he was . 17 at the time of the murder, tâ„¢â„¢ their a%e wlU citing cruel and unusual keep them from being attacks, such as his troubled punishment under an "evolving punished as severely youth and the strong influence standard of decency," according to deathpenaltyinfo.orgj a nonprofit media organization. Simmons committed the crime with two accomplices, Charlie Benjamin, 15, and John Tessmer, 16. He persuaded them to commit the crime by assuring them their status as juveniles would keep them out of prison, according to court documents from the case. Juvenile criminals know their age will keep them from being punished as severely as adults and are using that to their advantage. Juveniles, in a criminal sense, are defined as 16- to 17-year-olds, according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Web site. When ruling on juvenile death penalty, the Supreme Court should keep in mind the severity and sophistication of some juveniles' crimes â€” including Simmons'. Simmons, at 17, robbed and murdered a woman by binding her limbs and throwing her off a bridge. In 1966, the Supreme Court determined special factors that juries must consider before sentencing a juvenile to death. Those as adults and are using that to their advantage.'' of fellow sniper John Allen Muhammad, affected Malvo's sentencing. Although Malvo's case was highly publicized and his crime unusually brutal, Virginia courts determined he was not mature enough to be sentenced to death even though Virginia is one of 19 states that allows sentencing 16- and 17-year-olds to the death penalty, according to the American Bar Association Web site. Supporters of abolishing the death penalty for juveniles are looking toward science for evidence to support their views. Much research goes into the course of development of the human brain and its abilities to rationalize and process information. Scientists have found the brain is mostly developed by age 16, but that some functions, such as impulse control, do not fully develop until a person is 20 to 25, according to a July 2004 Science Magazine article. Some say these findings provide a solid argument against the death penalty for SEE Allow, PAGE 19 Juveniles deserve second chance Salina Greig COMMENTARY Everyone makes mistakes. Juveniles who make mistakes, no matter how awful, deserve a second chance. The U.S. Supreme Court should side with science and international opinion and ban juvenile capital punishment. The Supreme Court is in the process of reviewing whether thejuveniledeathpenalty, or legal execution of 16- and 17-year-olds, violates the constitutional ________ ban on cruel and unusual punishment, according to the American Civil Liberties Union Web site. The review comes from a Missouri Supreme Court case. which was re-examined 2003, nine years after Simmons's death sentence in 2003. At the time Simmons murdered Crook, he was not legally responsible enough to vote, marry, enlist in the military or purchase cigarettes. The law, however, determined that at 17, he could be executed. The severity of his crime required a harsh punishment, but capital punishment was not the answer. Nineteen states allow the juvenile death penalty, according to the Death Penalty Information Center Web site. States have executed 13 juvenile offenders in the past five years, eight of whom were in Texas, according to the Amnesty International Web site. Over the past decade, the United States has executed more juvenile offenders than every other nation in the world combined, = = _ = _ _ according to the ACLU's Web site. As a leading nation in the world, the United States must set a good example for those watching its every 'The execution of juveniles is unjust ...the United States must set an example nations for those nations it Simmons v. Roper, So often criticizes for human rights in violations.' Christopher Simmons was sentenced to death at age 17 for the murder of his neighbor Shirley Crook, according to deathpenaltyinfo.org, a non-profit media organization. Young people often act on impulse and lack the ability to control their actions. Recent studies show that because of their immaturity, juveniles also are more likely than adults to be coerced by sophisticated criminals or taken advantage of during a criminal investigation, according to the ACLU Web site. While minors, just like adults, should be punished for committing heinous crimes, denying a child a second chance at life is unfair. The Missouri Supreme Court has already reasonably determined that the juvenile death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment's provision against cruel and unusual punishment under the "evolving standards of decency" test. The court revoked move. The United States must not be hypocritical in its actions. Other nations are watching as the Supreme Court re- examines the constitutionality of the juvenile death penalty. In August 2000, the U. N. Sub- Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights ruled that international law forbids the execution of criminals younger than 18, according to Amnesty International's Web site. China, Iran, the United States and other nations continue to use the juvenile death penalty despite this international law. In 2003, Iran began drafting a bill that would raise the death penalty age from 15 to 18, according to the ACLU Web site. Ironically, the United States continues to criticize many nations for their human-rights violations. The execution of juveniles is unjust and unconstitutional, and the United States must set an example for those nations it so often criticizes for its human rights SEE Outlaw, PAGE 19 WESTERN GETS WILD!

Voting, smoking, marrying, gambling, driving an automobile and fighting in the armed forces are all rights U.S. citizens possess by the time they turn 18. If an 18-year-old is able to vote and die for his or her country, he or she should be able to drink a beer. If he or she can throw a grenade, he or she should be able to throw back a shot of whiskey. The drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18. History shows that limiting alcohol consumption is counterproductive. Prohibition from 1920-1933 exemplifies the ultimate failure that results from making alcohol a "forbidden fruit." Banning alcohol during Prohibition raised consumption levels and increased risky drinking behavior, just as the drinking age of 21 does today. Obviously, people drink no matter what â€” even at Western. "Seven out of 10 Western students stop at 3 or fewer drinks," according to three randomly selected samples from surveys in the past three years conducted by Prevention and Wellness Services. A large portion of Western's 12,940 students are likely underage, yet seven out of 10 students drink. Lowering the drinking age to 18 would decrease binge drinking. For fear of getting caught, minors hide and pound their Pabst Blue Ribbon rather than sipping it moderately. Instead of measuring 1.25 ounces for a shot of Monarch Vodka, they chug from the bottle to hastily get wasted before attending concerts and clubs or going out in public. The question is whether 18- through 20-year-olds would drink more safely if it was legal, as is the case in most European countries. Dr. Ruth Clifford Engs of Indiana University Bloomington, answered yes in an interview on The State University of New York at Potsdam's Web site. "Young people ... since the increase in the minimum legal drinking age, have tended to drink in a more abuse(ive) manner than do those of legal age," Engs said. Supporters of the current drinking age often point to research, such as that of the American Medical Association, which shows that alcohol abuse can be detrimental to teenagers' health. Research by John C. Nelson, President-elect of the AMA, shows that alcohol may have devastating affects for teens and may cause permanent learning and memory loss, according to the AMA's Web site. If 18-year-olds can destroy their lungs with cigarettes, they should have the choice to drink with the rest of the world. It is senseless for the United States to ban alcohol for 18-year-olds when the more dangerous cigarettes are legally available. "Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death in our society," according to The American Cancer Society's Web site. "Cigarettes kill more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide and illegal drugs combined." Smoking, among other things, is clearly more dangerous than drinking, yet teens can freely indulge in tobacco. A glance at history and a little common sense shows the need to lower the drinking age in America.

It has made bad decision after bad decision involving its political views. The group's plan to force its affiliates to show a highly partisan documentary two weeks before the presidential election is another questionable move by a media group that has shirked its responsibility as a respectable media organization. The documentary, "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," is about Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and his 1971 Senate testimony, which-some Vietnam veterans said was demeaning and caused Vietnamese captors to detain American prisoners of war longer. This would not seem like a huge deal except that the group is planning to preempt local primetime broadcasts on 62 of its stations. According to the group, the documentary is news. The program is set to air two weeks before the presidential election, according an Oct. 15 Associated Press article. This is an interesting time to broadcast such a statement that could sway public opinion, especially considering Sinclair's past partisan decisions. The group refused to show "The Fallen," a "Nightline" program in which Ted Koppel listed all the Americans killed in the war in Iraq while their pictures appeared on screen. The group said the "Nightline" program would "influence public opinion," according to an Oct. 11 article on the CBS Web site. Members of the group, apparently feel this documentary, said to criticize Kerry, will not influence public opinion much. According to an Oct. 11 article in The New York Times, a group of Democratic senators appealed to the Federal Communications Commission for an investigation to prove the documentary is not news but a prolonged election advertisement for President George W Bush. Shortly after, the FCC declined to investigate, according to the AP article. The agency's chairman said the FCC would not take any action and that no precedent he could think of would cause the FCC to block the document. Journalist Ari Berman wrote in SEE Sinclair, PAGE 19 Tipping does not replace fair wages Erik Tomren COMMENTARY Tipping used to be a way to show appreciation for a service well-performed. Now the ubiquitous tip j ar can be found throughout the fast-food industry, from coffee shops to Chinese takeout. Throughout time, the tipping expectation has spread from a few well-defined industries such as restaurants, pizza delivery and bartending, to include any number of mom and pop shops and, unbelievably, the coffee industry, dominated by the multinational corporation Starbucks Corp. By encouraging tipping, Starbucks and local competitor Tully's Coffee Corp. are shirking responsibility to their workers by paying wages that are low by any standard. Starbucks should stop relying on customer tips to supplement worker income and pay its hourly employees more. Corporations such as Starbucks hire hourly employees at low wages but make sure to mention that tips also are a factor. But the starting wage in midtown Manhattan, $7.75 per hour plus tips, was low in relation to the cost of living. The workers in one New York store have begun the first steps toward unionization, joining with the Retail Workers Union, according to the Starbucks Workers Union Web site. Starbucks does not offer raises until after six months, typically 11 cents, and the company's medical coverage is difficult, if not impossible, for workers just scraping by to afford, according to the Web site. The reliance on tips for income also makes it difficult for a coffee-shop employee to determine if he or she is making a fair wage, a task made even more difficult by the widely varying hours since most locations do not guarantee 40 hours a weeTc, according to the Starbucks Workers Union Web site. Tipping inadvertently takes the pressure off corporations to provide a living wage for workers and places it on the consumer. Advocates who promote a "living wage" believe that employees who work 40 hours a week should be able to afford some type of housing with 30 percent of their income â€” an impossibility given the minimum wage many service jobs offer, according to the Universal Living Wage Campaign Web site. SEE Tipping, PAGE 19 ---------- Western Front 2004-10-19 - Page 19 ---------- October 19, 2004 OPINIONS The Western Front â€¢ 19 Sinclair: Group is showing its bias Continued from Page 18 an opinion article on the CBS Web site that what Sinclair is doing is comparable to another broadcasting group preempting news to show Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" and then calling the movie news. The public would not stand for this, at least the conservative part of the population. The company would likely be bombarded by angry phone calls, protests and even boycotts. Sinclair does own the stations that are broadcasting the documentary, and has the right to do what it chooses with its affiliates. It would be less of a conflict, however, if the group was not preempting local broadcasts during primetime, on public airwaves, to show a politically charged program Even if the group had let "The Fallen" air and kept its political standing to itself, this would not be viewed as just another documentary criticizing Kerry. News broadcast companies should provide fair, accurate and unbiased news. By many reports, including an October 13 Boston Globe article, this documentary is neither fair nor unbiased, and hardly even news. Tipping: Fair wages are the responsibility of employers Allow: Scientists reluctant to testify Continued from Page 17 deathpenaltyinfo.org. juveniles, but they do not take into account premeditation, which is often a significant factor determining whether to punish a criminal with death. Premeditation implies the opposite of impulsiveness. Planning a crime for weeks is not an impulsive decision, so his decision was not affected by the part of his brain that may not be fully mature. Also according to the findings, certain brain functions are not fully developed until the age of 18 and often not until age 22, and yet no debate exists about raising the age at which criminals are considered adults. Even many of the scientists doing research on brain maturity are unwilling to testify on a juvenile's inability to make moral, rational decisions, according to If the people defining a mature brain cannot say that juveniles should be exempt from the death penalty because of brain maturity, it is not a significant argument against the juvenile death penalty. The debate about punishing juveniles with the death penalty is not the debate about the morality of the death penalty itself. Under certain circumstances, juveniles can be as much a threat to society as adults. This is why they can, and should, be treated as adults if the crime warrants it. Limiting a dangerous juvenile's punishment on the sole basis that he or she is between 16 and 18 years of age would be ignoring his or her ability to commit crimes on the same level as an adult and overlooking him or her as a serious threat to society.

For example, consider the midtown Manhattan Starbucks that is attempting to unionize. If a worker at that location did not work 40 hours and instead worked only 35 hours, at a wage of ______ $7.75 an hour, his or her net income would be $13,904.45 a year, according to an income calculator found at the Javascript Web If Starbucks does want to make a difference... it can start by paying its employees higher site.

Seattle to afford the same lifestyle, which amounts to $20,975 a year, according to the Cost of Living Wizard at Salary.com. A universal living wage would help bridge the difference between cities and assure that all workers can afford a minimal lifestyle, regardless of the local or state minimum wage. Lost income needs to come from somewhere, and right now the ' expectation is that the consumer should make up for *vhat Starbucks refuses to pay. Tipping for coffee has already become something of an expectation, placing inappropriate is $7.16, according to the State Department of Labor Web site. Therefore, if a worker earning $7.75 an hour, working 35 hours a week, transferred from a Seattle Starbucks to one in New York City, he or she would have to earn 50.9 percent more money than in An obvious solution would be for Starbucks to get rid of its tip jars and pay an extra $1 or $2 more an hour â€” what the employee would make in lost tip wages. Starbucks, however, is unlikely to pay more for wages because its success is contingent upon hiring workers at low wages, encouraging tipping with the placement of tip jars and relying on workers to spread the word that their livelihood is dependent on tips. Given the low wages of the food and beverage industry as a whole, Starbucks is not necessarily a bad corporation for which to work. Part-time employees working 20 hours or more are eligible to receive health-care benefits, with Starbucks listed in Fortune 500's "100 Best Places to Work" list, according to the Starbucks Web site. Health-care benefits are meaningless, however, if employees cannot afford to make use of them and if workers are forced to rely on tips as a source of income. If Starbucks does want to make a difference, to its workers and to the community, it can start by paying its employees higher wages and stop asking its customers for a handout on behalf of its employees. By raising wages and nixing the tip jars, Starbucks can make a difference in the coffee industry, and perhaps in the fast-food industry as well. Maybe the outcome will be a future with living wages for all workers. Outlaw: Rehabilitation, change more likely for juveniles Continued from Page 17 violations. Recent studies by the Harvard Medical School, the National Institute-of Mental Health and the University of California, Los Angeles' Department of Neuroscience suggest that adolescents be held accountable to the same extent as adults. The frontal and pre-frontal lobes of the brain regulate impulse control and judgment. These lobes are not fully developed until after 18, and often not until age 22, according to the ACLU Web site. These findings show that young people tend to make unsouiid judgments more often, act on impulse and not understand or realize the consequences of their actions. Also according to the ACLU Web site, adolescents are more likely to rehabilitate 'The death penalty should be reserved for criminals who cannot are unable to change and less likely to â€”for serial killers make mistakes as such as Gary Ridgway and Ted Bundy.' they grow older and their brains mature. While supporters of the juvenile death penalty may say young criminals will never benefit society, these studies also show that adolescents are more likely than adults to be rehabilitated because they can gain the ability to realize the consequences of their actions as their brains continue to develop, according to the ACLU Web site. The death penalty age should be raised to an age when the human brain has fully matured. The execution of people who do not have fully developed brain functions is morally wrong. â€”^- The death penalty should be reserved for criminals who are unable to change â€” for serial killers such as Gary Ridgway and Ted Bundy and for people who will never be able to be controlled. Many juveniles can change for the better, no matter how harsh the crime, and they deserve a second chance at life â€” even if it is in prison. WASHER/DRYER. Hotpoint. White electric dryer.
