The fines were imposed after aDepartment of Labor and Industries investigation revealed violations of asbestos handling during a floortile replacement project. Sanding the tiles released the encapsulated asbestos, a carcinogen, into the air. University officials filed to appeal the fines, but decided to pay after the first informal hearing withDLI on Dec. 1. "During the first meeting, only four of the violations had been addressed in a period ofthree hours," said Peter Harris, physical plant director. "Further efforts spent on contesting this Lowry,Barrett to speak on campus By J im Thomsen staff reporter Seventh District U.S. Rep. Mike Lowry, D-Renton, will discuss basic constitutional rights, the budget and other local and national issues withWestern students at 2 p.m. today in the Library Presentation Room. The lecture by Lowry, whocurrently polls ahead of 3rd District U.S. Rep. Don Bonker as the leading candidate for RepublicanDan Evans' seat in the U.S. Senate, follows an appearance by former B.C. Premier David Barrett, whowill discuss his views on the recently signed U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement at noon in Lecture Hall 2. The talk is sponsored by Western's Political Science Club. Lowry, who has garnered more attentionfor his freshly shorn countenance than his stands on current issues, is an outspoken opponent of theReagan administ r a t i o n ' s buildup of defense weaponry and subsequent cuts in domesticspending. He also is a proponent of the free trade agreement, which Barrett, whose talk is entitled"The U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement: A Bum Deal For All?" vehemently opposes. According to a press release, Barrett promises a " l i v e l y and probably controversial" discussion about the tradepact. His views mirror those of many Canadian citizens, who feel the eliminated tariffs and lowered tradebarriers between the two countries will dilute Canadian culture and open the door for U.S. dominationof its northern neighbor. Barrett's views differ from those of the Canadian big businessestablishment, which stands to gain access to American markets 10 times the size of their own andexpand their current investment, production, trade and technological bases. Barrett, who served as aHarvard Fellow last fall, was B.C.'s premier from 1969 to 1975 and later the province's financeminister. He went on to serve as the MLA (Member of the Legislature) for the Vancouver EastElectoral District until 1984. Shortly after his visit to Western, he will assume teaching duties atMontreal's McGill University for the winter semester. He said he will get back into politics and expects to be a candidate for national office in the 1988 Canadian Federal elections. Following the lecture, the first in Western's Artist and Lecture Series, Barrett will participate in a 3 p.m. faculty forum at CanadaHouse. Lowry also has been invited to participate. The forum is s p o n s o r e d by W e s t e r n 'sCanadian-American Studies Program. Last day to add/drop classes is Monday, Jan. 11 matter onlytap financial and scarce human resources for its safety and maintenance programs at the university."Harris said paying the fines does not mean university officials agree with all violations cited, particularlythe one which states Western did not "do everything reasonably necessary to protect the life and safetyof its employees." After DLI investigator Robert Parker told Western officials to close the gym janitorsperformed normal clean-up duties in the gym unprotected and uninformed. "That fine was $2,100, and in our view the Department of Labor and Industries personnel were as much in error as was the universityby not ensuring that the area was immediately closed, rather than posting the building closed the dayafter the department had reached the decision to Pete Kendall do so," Harris said. "At the informalconference with the DLI," he said, "university and DLI personnel acknowledged that both parties hadneglected to remember the custodial staff would ordinarily enter the building after regular closing hours to perform duties. "The university is firmly committed to compliance with as- See FINES on p. 4Dalrymple fills new role By David Kuester staff reporter Lowell Thacker, a Western senior studyinggeography and cartology, braved the winter chill yesterday by playing a game of hackey-sack with friends in Red Square. Curtis J. Dalrymple has been appointed to the position of acting executive director ofdevelopment for the Western Foundation. Dalrymple was appointed on a part-time interim basis byActing Western President Al Froderberg. He is filling the vacancy left when Jeanene DeLille was killed in a Nov. 4 plane crash. Dalrymple was serving as vice president to the Western Foundation at the time of the appointment. He also has served as the foundation's treasurer and was a member of its Boardof Directors. Dalrymple was a member of the university's Board of Trustees from 1978 to 1985, servingas chairman from 1980 to 1984. He graduated from Western in 1973 with an accounting degree beforebecoming involved with the Western Foundation, a nonprofit corporation independent of the universityaimed at supporting and assisting Western in soliciting contributions from the public toward universityadvancement. One recent acquisition was an argon ion laser for the physics and astronomydepartment's optics lab. The foundation sponsors fund-raising activities, such as the holiday bazaar that took place last month at the Old Main Registration Center. Profits from such sales go to scholarships and grants for students and faculty members. This month the foundation will host the Chili Cook-Off,which late President G. Robert F.oss began and made popular with his famous entries. Dalrymple isreplacing Ross as the chairman of the event. "The Chili Cook-Off will still go on, bigger and better thanbefore," Dalrymple said, "even though some of the main players won't be there anymore." ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢HHkHHCHl Dollar gripe box awaitsstudents Got a gripe about financial aid?

Bids in for cash machine By Erin Earles staff reporter Western's purchasing office currently isreceiving bids from banks for the proposed cash machine at Western, said Trent Wheatley,Associated Students secretary-treasurer. The cash machine, first proposed last fall, should beinstalled in the Viking Union sometime in February, Wheatley said after the AS Board meetingWednesday. A committee, which has been examining the acquisition of the cash machine, will meetJan. 12 to consider the bids submitted. Late fall quarter, after weeks of discussion, the AS reached anagreement with the university that the best place for the cash machine would be in the VU, that themachine would have a trial run of one year and that Plaza Cashier would receive half of the revenues from the machine, with the remainder going into the Housing and Dining fund. Plaza Cashier, funded by theu n i v e r s i t y , would lose an estimated $15,000 during the year to the cash machine and wouldreceive only several hundred dollars from the machine, Wheatley said. Wheatley added, however, that the profits from the machine would be in the form of student convenience and increased sales atcampus stores and eateries such as Plaza Pizza.

Campus coffee shops will provide papercups for three cents more than styrofoam cups in an effort to protect the environment. P a p e r cupscould replace styrofoam cups spring quarter if food service officials receive positive student reaction."Quite frankly, I would like to see a styrofoam-free campus," said Mark Freeman, manager of the VikingUnion eateries. Freeman joined with Associated Students board members Jeff Chandler and EricRichey to implement the change. Chandler said if the change is successful the AS Board couldsubmit a proposal to the Board of Trustees to ban styrofoam use on campus. "As a university, weshould set an example and stand against styrofoam," Chandler said. Organizers of the campaign saythe effort can help protect the ozone layer that protects the earth from cancer-causing ultraviolet light.Edward Neuzil, Western chemistry professor, said polystyrene is "fluffed up" by gasses to producestyrofoam. Polystyrene is released into the atmosphere during manufacturing, he said. Neuzil saidpolystyrene also may be leached out of styrofoam cups containing hot beverages. The polymers collectin the liver.

"Paraffin-coated paper cups present a much better solution," he said.Environmental Protection Agency figures show that a 1 percent drop in the ozone could cause 20,000additional skin cancer cases in the United States. The EPA predicts 800,000 people will die within the next generation because of ozone depletion. The University of Washington implemented a partial ban on styrofoam bowls, plates and glasses in dining halls early December. Chinaware dishes will replace most styrofoam ware in the dining halls. However, styrofoam cups, hamburger containers and diningware for "to go" food will remain in the UW dining halls. Evergreen Community College bannedstyrofoam cups from its campus last year. Freeman said it's the only campus in Washington that hasbanned all use of styrofoam. The ban, however, caused some inconvenience to students, Freeman said. Paper cups won't protect hands from hot coffee, tea or chocolate. "The problems are when people graba hot beverage in a paper cup. They are burning themselves, dropping the cup or putting it down in thecash lines," Freeman said. Campus coffee shops also would have to buy new cup dispensers for thedifferent-sized paper cups. "We'll have to find out what the problems are here," Freeman said. FoodServices Director Frank Diaz agreed to provide paper cups, at a price increase of three cents. Styrofoam cups will be offered at the regular price. "It's important for us not to make a decision for the wholecampus," Chandler said. "We'll let the consumer make the choice." 1210 E.

Magnolia 733-3331 Beer CupsAvailable Theft stirs investigation Late Dec. 19 or early Dec. 20, suspects broke into the AssociatedStudents Recycling Center on 21st Street, took numerous keys and stole a red lift truck. UniversityPolice Lt. Chuck Page said someone entered the building between 6 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. Sunday, stole several keys and drove off in the 1978 Ford pickup. Page said the university-owned vehicle wasnot in the best condition and added the suspects probably stole it for its hydraulic lift or to use it forspare parts. The truck had a university decal on both doors, he said. The vehicle was self-insured, which means the estimated $2,500 to $3,000 loss will have to come out of the AS budget, Jeff Chandler, AS vice president for internal affairs, said. Chandler said he believed the suspects may have been familiarwith the building because they were able to find the box where the keys were kept. He said theyprobably drove off in the first vehicle they came to that worked, and threw the rest of the keys in thegrass outside the building. Center coordinator Jim Madison discovered the truck missing when he came to work Sunday morning, Chandler said. He then called the police. Page said the police have checkedseveral areas where vehicles often turn up but have found nothing yet. They are still investigating theincident.

Andrea Lightburne FINES, from p. 1 bestos regulationsand to the safest possible working conditions for its employees," Harris said. "We recognize theuniversity's decision to pay as an admission to the charges that DLI filed against them," Bill Chervenock, union representative for 180 campus employees, said. "We had overwhelming evidence that we didn't need to bring out in the first meeting," Chervenock said. Chervenock said Western and union officials still are working out a grievance settlement for those employees who were exposed to asbestos andfor the union to have a voice in future policy. "At this stage the university has agreed to pay the fines.We have taken this as a conciliatory gesture," Joe Mackie, union representative for the grievancecommittee, said. "We are pleased that they have come around and are willing to sit down and drawup a new and effective asbestos abatement policy," Mackie said. "I'd be really surprised if the incidentsimilar to the one in Carver Gym would happen again." Harris said a new procedure has been drafted tobetter address asbestos management and is being reviewed by DLI and employee representatives. "The draft has been distributed and I will be taking comments until January 13," Dennis Smith, Westernsafety, en- .viromental and waste manager, said. Smith said he hoped to have the new policy completed by Jan. 15 and implemented no later than Jan. 22. "One aspect to be addressed is a means to ensurethat work stops when asbestos is discerned and appropriate follow-up measures are taken," Harris said.

The money came from federal, state and private sources for use in facultyand student research, equipment, workshops and other programs. Nearly $3.5 million was dished outby the state's Department of Social and Health Services, which awarded unassigned grants to Western.The money hadn't yet been allocated to specific departments. Faculty Research Geri Walker,assistant director at Western's Bureau for Faculty Research, said some of the unassigned grantmoney goes to help fund programs such as Western's Shannon Point Marine Center and for suchthings as interviewing skills workshops. Bill Clement of the bureau has received three grants from thestate's DSHS totaling more than $3.3 million. A $1.1 million grant from DSHS titled "CommunityServices Training 1987-89" will provide education materials, skills training and teaching to the state'schild protective services. DSHS looks to universities rather than to private agencies to train, educateand implement new p r o g r a m s , Clement said. "Universities are in the business to educate, so that's what we're doing." Huxley College Huxley College received more than $200,000 of the $4 million-plusamount.

Themoney also pays for one teacher from each participating school to attend bi-weekly workshops atWestern, supplies and materials needed for the research, a monthly newsletter and a conferenceplanned next spring at Western involving hundreds of math teachers who work north of the Seattle area.The program involves one student who is an assistant for Jerry Johnson of Western's mathdepartment, who received the grant, and one student who is doing her student teaching in theprogram. Johnson said about half of the teachers participating are Western graduates. Geography Regional Planning Because Canada remains a close-neighbor country which most Americans know little about, Bob Monahan of Western's geography and regional planning department and Donald K.Alpert, of the political science department, applied for and received a $23,124 grant from theDepartment of Federal Affairs of Canada to better educate the public.

The newspaper, the Wholly Mackerel, is in its first year of publication and isgrowing in its variety of articles. "It's totally Fairhaven, and the structure of Fairhaven is such thateveryone is allowed to be themselves," contributer Connie Stone said. Founder Dan Keeganoriginally began publishing the Tuna News last year with hopes it would bring Fairhaven students andfaculty closer together, he said. Keegan said the Tuna News was intended to serve as acommunication network to get or give help on projects or to let people know about an event orexperience. Since last year the paper has changed its name to the Wholly Mackerel and incorporatedpoems, fiction and other non-news items through its inclusive policy that promises to publish allsubmitted items within legal mandates. To protect itself and the college, the paper does not printlibelous or pornographic material, Keegan said. Wholly Mackerel editors said the newsletter offers aservice most newspapers don't provide: guaranteed space for ideas. Letricia Flerchinger, who has beena staff member on The Western Front, said she likes the Wholly Mackerel because it eliminates editorial bias of information released to the public. "My experience on the Front is that they tell you what towrite GET YOUR FAVORITE DC COMICS AT: Comic Patrol in Aladdin's Lamp Antique Mall 1318 BaySt. Bellingham, WA 647-0066 open 7 days a week ^fc gt;1329 Railroad Xv^S 734-7825 V .

Another feature in the Fairhaven publication unusual to most periodicals is it has nodecisionmaking board or person and does not correct grammar and spelling errors. Stone said this iswhat keeps, the publication running strong. "They can say what they want, and if cussing happens to be in their vocabulary, that's fine ... there are no restrictions, and you're allowed to do something where inother places you have to keep looking to find someplace that'll allow you to do it." Stone said last yearshe wrote The Front about something twice with no success of having her letters published. ButKeegan says the Wfiolly Mackerel makes one stipulation with submitted stories: stories exceedingthe space available will be cut. Usually the decision for what to take out of a story is made by the layoutcrew, he added. At least six people meet twice a week to discuss their individual material for theupcoming issue and help lay it out for printing. Anyone interested in participating-is welcome. Eachperson views his or her job differently because the paper serves individual purposes. Stone likes to tellpeople little-known facts and present the information in a humorous way. In the Oct. 19 issue she tellsthe story of why Yankee Doodle called the feather in his hat "macaroni" in the popular folk song. Shefound out macaroni was another word for "fashionable" in the days when the song was written. Typicalof Stone's column, "Facts Don't Do What You Want Them To," this information was expanded to a story where she has someone describing a hat as the "macaroniest." "My inspiration is anything that isfunny and real and shocking," she says, comparing her style to the syndicated columnist MikeMailway. Jackie VanderMolen designs graphics for the Wholly Mackerel for credit. She says not only isshe benefiting by getting two credits for her contributions, but the practice is helping build her skill.Sunny Day types up the handwritten stories, articles, poems, classifieds and other submissions. Shesays although nobody is assigned to cover a Fairhaven event, usually somebody will write about it forthe newspaper. The publication is available for free at the Fairhaven College Post Office.

Webster staff reporter At first glance, it may seem AlFroderberg does not enjoy being the president of Western. He admitted he never really wanted to sitbehind the president's oak desk. "Each day, I come into this office, light a cigarette and pause to thinkabout how I feel," Froderberg said. "I feel empty inside, as if my emotions have been drained from me." Froderberg has been appointed to serve as interim presi-dent of W e s t e r n u n t i l a permanentreplacement for the late G. Robert Ross is found. Ross and two Western vice presidents were killed in aplane crash last November. For most, the pain of the tragedy has faded. Froderberg, however, continues to grieve while he works to rebuild Western. "When I first heard the plane was missing, I lit a cigaretteand smoked it as I hoped the plane would be found," Froderberg said. "I must have smoked three packs that day." When he first learned of Ross' death, Froderberg said everything around him fell cold andsilent, almost as if he were about to fall asleep. Froderberg slouched in his chair and lowered hishead as he closed his eyes to pause in silence. Slowly, he raised his head and fixed his eyes on thewall across from his desk. "I could not walk, talk or move. I couldn't even feel. Then the silence gaveway to intense anger, frustration and confusion. I felt sorrow, especially for Ross' family. I felt likescreaming. Then I wept." Froderberg has since settled into his position as interim president and saidhis job will be to help rebuild the university and its administration. He admitted that will be difficult, butsaid he expects a new president to be named this spring. Froderberg has been at Western fornearly two decades. He came to Western from the University of Washington to teach-in themathematics department and also helped establish the computer science department. When he came to Western in the '60s, it was a time for expansion and growth for the university, Froderberg said.University students began to exercise their right to protest and began to speak out against socialinjustice and work for peace. "My students seemed to be more concerned about the Vietnam war and Martin Luther King than learning math," Froderberg said. "Some students even brought signs to classwith them." Today, students are more interested in themselves, Froderberg said. "Now I'll bet nostudent would march for Central America, at least not before he finished his homework." Froderbergsaid he enjoys mathematics and takes great Acting Western President Al Froderberg Pete Kendallpleasure in teaching students to solve problems. "Mathematics is at the root of everything, and itteaches us to reason in logical ways. That's a great help when one is trying to solve problems." Afterleaving the math department and moving into Old Main, Froderberg worked as a special assistant toRoss for state and legislative relations in Olympia. Froderberg stayed in Olympia when the legislaturewas in session to gain support for Western among the legislators. Froderberg worked with RossGreyhound. More places, more often. At the right price.

He helped gain the legislative support needed to build the newArt- Technology building and also worked to create one of the largest budgets that Western has had inseven years. "Of course there are always things that we do not get but would like to have," Froderbergsaid. "And I have come home disappointed many times, but I just keep on trying." Froderberg'sresponsibilities as interim president have prevented him from returning to the legislature this year. Anew legislative liaison has been appointed and has assumed Froderberg's duties in Olympia.Froderberg expects to return to his former position as soon as a new, permanent president hasbeen selected. "I want to be in Olympia this year, because I think we have a lot to do," he said.Froderberg said the two most important legislative goals for Western are to secure funding for a newscience building to replace Haggard Hall and to prepare a budget for the 1990-92 state budget. When he is not in the president's chair or lobbying on behalf of Western in the state legislature, Froderberg said he enjoys reading novels and math books. "My favorite novelist is William Faulkner, because he'sable to make me see all sides of a situation. His writing is very rich and expressive. It's startling that Ido read math books. I just love math. That's where it's really at." Froderberg said he sometimes staysafter hours in Old Main to read math books and solve math problems while he eats blackberry pieprepared by his wife, Mary. "Math and blackberry pie go together, because there's a step-by- stepprocess in making both of them. Everything has to be just right, or it doesn't work. I would rather not sitbehind Robert Ross' desk because I am reminded of how I got there, but a slice of blackberry pie and agood math book help to ease the pain." Welcome Back Western Students!

These changes are just the beginning, say supporters of the Outback. Community member Mike Melim recently submitted to Fair-haven Dean Dan Larner a land-use proposal designed to transform the five-acre organic gardening project southof the Fairhaven residence halls into an efficient and viable example of sustainable agriculture. Melim, aformer landscaper now in the construction business, has been involved with the Outback project forseven years. He donated the majority of labor and materials used to build a new O u t b a c k sign,stage and promenade area, the seed beds and the beginning of the new fence. He became involved with the farm, he said, "Because I walked past it one day and it said 'help me. The economic backbone ofthe proposal is an idea to renovate the existing barn into a produce stand and possibly a small coffeeshop with an organic salad bar. According to the plan, this would be the hub of all commercial activityand a source of hands-on experience for business-management and food-handling courses. DeniseAckert, an Outback student majoring in environmental studies, lives on the farm in one of the cabinsand is involved in the changes taking place. She sees the project as an opportunity to develop a schoolprogram in sustainable agriculture that could serve the community. Sustainable agriculture uses energy-efficient organic methods to provide a safe and stable source of food, not only for the present occupantsof the land, but for future generations. Evidence indicates that agriculture as it is practiced today maynot be sustainable ecologically because of the use of pesticides and fertilizers. "I really feel that partof the reason that we, as a society, are so freaked out is our lack of connection to the earth," shecontinued. The Outback could be a resource, a gathering place to bring the community together on ahuman level, producing food as well as having festivals and dances, she said. A major stumbling block to such goals is a lack of funding, Ackert said. The Outback needs a farm manager because students are too busy with school to Drganize projects, she added. The fact that the Outback Farm is designated asa parking lot on a master plan of the south campus is not an issue at this time and has nothing to dowith the lack of available funds, Ackert said. Acting manager for facilities Rick Benner said the parkinglot proposal is very long-range and would be implemented only if the university's population reached12,000 or more. Ackert said she may seek alternative funding sources such as federal grants ordonations from a non-profit organization called "Friends of the Outback." The proposal, whichdescribes the condition of the existing facilities, also includes ideas for an office in the barn, acommunity (pea-patch) garden, terraced beds on the farm's west hillside and a fire pit. Ackertcautioned that the ideas are tentative and will need some revision. " B u t , " she said, " i t ' s awonderful start in terms of, what do we have, what are we working with and where do we want to go?"Faces of AIDS': Pho By Alana Warner staff reporter Sixty pairs of life-like eyes gaze at you and seemto follow your every move. Most of these eyes, captured in photographs of the faces of people withAIDS, do not project a sense of despair, but rather a feeling of hope. The Viking Union Gallery exhibitof this portrait collection, entitled "Faces of AIDS," opens tonight with a reception from 1-9 and isscheduled to run until 26 in conjunction with A Awareness Week from Jan. 25 Californian photographerWigler, inspired when sever; his friends contracted the de disease, sought and received f ing for theproject from the New Chrysalis Gallery show mirrors artists' self-p By Terry Keenan staff reporter TheSecond Annual Self- Portrait Show opened last night in the Chrysalis Gallery in Fair-haven, featuringworks by art students, graduates and staff. "It is mixed media: paintings, drawings and clay. We haveone photograph and one piece of fabric art. It's a good composite show of how people view or portraythemselves. The art runs from very realistic to abstract," gallery manager Renee Hudak said. Westernart student Zena Nottingham submitted a self-portrait she did before the show was announced. She saidit was a spontaneous piece done from memory that took a few of hours to complete. Her abstractdrawing is harsh and stark, depicting a split personality with two different haircuts. "It is like a 4-year-old going berserk with pastels. It is an expressionisticly-done self-portrait. I haven't done anything loose, itisn't classicly drawn. There is no blending," Nottingham said. Traditionally, pastels are worked into the paper. Nottingham said she enjoyed doing the self-portrait more than anything else she has done. "It is a real visual piece and a concrete way to show how I feel about the stress I've been under."

Michael Villanueva, analyst for the San Francisco peninsula department, said theexhibit is an "educational and artistic piece that reminds us of the human dimension of the AIDS virus."The intent of the project is basically a health education project against AIDS," he said. "It's a way ofshowing people how devastating the disease is, making people who aren't around AIDS more aware. " I'm very happy with the response we've received so far," he continued. "I'd like to commend theuniversity (Western) for wanting the exhibit. It's strong support for the battle against AIDS." VU GalleryDirector Joice Denend read a review of the exhibit in The Oregonian and was intrigued by thepossibility of bringing the show to Bellingham. The handling fee of $500, however, was more than herbudget allowed. Denend said she consulted several other campus organizations she believed mightbe interested in supporting the exhibit, ultimately procuring the financial assistance of 12 of them.Different groups had different reasons for sponsoring the exhibit, Denend said. The Sex Information Office is interested in preventing the spread of AIDS through unsafe sex and will distribute condoms andinformational pamphlets at the VU Gallery. The Cross Cultural Center is aware AIDS can affect allcultures. The Drug Information Center is concerned with the intravenous contraction of AIDS, and theart department respects the exhibit as aesthetically pleasing work. Denend said she wasemotionally moved by the exhibit. "I feel really bad for these people because they have ideas andgoals just like everyone else does. They just happened to 'run across' this disease." Bryan Fujimoto,coordinator of the Sexual Minorities Center, shared a similar experience. "It was really powerful," hesaid. "The people in there were very near our age and generation, and some of them are dead." Thepeople in the portraits who have since died are denoted by black ribbons hung in the top right corner oftheir pictures. In addition, each photo is accompanied by a quote from the patient or, in the case ofsome of those who have died, a close acquaintance. The quotes are diverse, ranging from 57-year-old Daniel Witt's, "I look forward to each day, but I know better than to count on it," to David Pierce, 46,who said "The AIDS crisis has created the opportunity for uniting us instead of separating us; it alsohelps us to focus on the positive in life." Photographer Jim Wigler said, by telephone from California,that taking the actual portraits was difficult and depressing. "A lot of them came in wheelchairs and were very ill," he said. "It was very important to show just their faces on a neutral background. Iwanted to show that they were human and not diseased." People who get AIDS are not freaks or anumber, he said. Each face has its own story. "Society should not be afraid of people with AIDS - don'tuse" Victim,' it has a negative connotation. We are more dangerous to them than .they are us," hestressed. "We are carrying all sorts of germs and viruses that our immunity systems protect us from,but to them they can be deadly. "They're human beings caught up in a terrible tragedy. No one asks forAIDS. No one deserves AIDS." rceptions "It is very expressionistic. It took about one hour to do. Ilooked in the mirror mostly," he said. Sodt's piece was created in 1984 during fine art graduate studiesat Central Washington University. Ian Voorhees contributed 19 sketches on sketchbook paper thatdepict the artist at work. Each sketch details the same basic facial expresssion, yet each is subtlydifferent. Number 14 is simply labeled "I'm Done." Morgan Dicus offers a large self-portrait done in black, white and yellow. The combination of the colors and the extreme close-up nature of the work provesunflattering to the artist. The viewer becomes acutely aware of his or her own flaws while gazing at the artist's. Despite the discomfort, a friendly presence oozes from the drawing. The show runs through Jan. 28. Gallery hours are Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday 6 to 9 p.m. ChrysalisGallery is located on the second floor of Fairhaven College. Gene loves Jezebel's latest effort lacksraw quality of pained howling, whining By Alana Warner staff reporter "The House of Dolls," Gene LovesJezebel's fourth piece of vinyl, does not hold up under the needle. Once upon a time, a pair of twinsnamed Mike and J. Aston fronted an obscure band from Wales called Gene Loves Jezebel. Their first two albums were available only in the import bin of the local record store. (Import discs are always the best,as they are often encased in that terrific, loose, crinkled cellophane and are devoid of those annoyingUPC bars.) Gene Loves Jezebel House of Dolls CEVItW Alternative music listeners' first exposure tothe band came after songs from its second album, "Immigrant," began gracing the airwaves. Thosewho bought the disk discovered a delectable blend of Welsh wails, indiscernible lyrics and creativemusical arrangements. Intrigued by the group's unique sound, record collectors sought out its firstrelease entitled "Promise." This album proved to be just as impressive as "Immigrant," possessing anunpolished, raw quality with even more pained howling. This is the stuff that big-haired, black-shroudednight creatures' dreams are made of â€” beautiful, androgynous men adorned with beads and brocade,whining unintelligibly about "skinny bodies" and rhinoplasty. Gene Loves Jezebel's third attempt,"Discover," spewed forth two singles with accompanying videos. "Heartache" and "Desire" combineddeliberate hooks with danceable beats, while maintaining the group's subtle, less-than-accessible musical image. An accompanying American tour enabled fans to get a closer glimpse of Mike and J.'s perpetualposing and pawing (if, of course, one could see over the person's tall and teased coiffure in front of her.) Attempting to please the public will put a group into an entirely new category - the unbands. Too normalfor the progressives, yet too progressive for the normals, the group will impress no one. The band'scurrent followers will become former fans, declaring, "I knew about them when they were good," or, "I used to like them." Some bands can make the transition with ease. A couple of years ago, no one had everheard of The Cure. Now Bob Smith's smeared lipstick and black hairbush adorn posters and (gasp!) evencalendars Sure, some hardcore devotees will be perturbed by this sudden rise in popularity, but thequality of The Cure's music hasn't been compromised. Once innovative and unique, Gene LovesJezebel's music has become hopelessly inundated with pop cliches and dull arrangements. Theirmixed voices are more controlled, and (heaven forbid) you can understand what they're singing. Where'sthe fun in that? "1 know what I want, and I know how to get it. So come on, baby, let's do it again," (fromthe current single "The Motion of Love"). "Oh, pretty baby, when I walk through the door, you'll bewondering what I did it for. Tell me, darlin', tell me please, why you miss me so badly," (from"Suspicion"). This is ostensibly obnoxious drivel posing as lyrical content. As for the album's musicalmerit, it registers an unthreatening zero on the Richter scale. The guitar hooks are pathetically predictable and uninspiring, as are the mundane drum pulses. It's all just a.little too precise and contrived. ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 Border Patrol questions CARA worker, seizes vehicleBy Jeff Keeling staff reporter A trip to the bus station to send three Guatemalan refugees to theCanadian border Nov. 23 took an unexpected turn for Shirley Osterhaus, Catholic Campus Ministerfrom Western's Shalom Center. Osterhaus, a leader of the Central American Refugee Association,expected to see the three off and drive home. She eventually saw them off, but she didn't drive home.After purchasing tickets for the trio and checking their baggage, Osterhaus said United States BorderPatrol officer Kevin Smith approached them all and asked them to go to his office for questioning. During questioning Smith reminded Osterhaus that she had been warned last year it was illegal to transportundocumented aliens, and told her the Border Patrol was seizing her car as an instrument of crime. iSay it up i FRONT \ Advertise with us! j ^676:3161J BARBRA STREISAND ,â€”, EVES ONLY j yCALL THEATER FOR SHQWTIMES NUT5 Walt Disney's "CINDERELLA" SAT/SUN MATS ONLY MT.BAKER 106 N.

I j j t b.'B-CSCO "They said they would notprosecute me at this point," Osterhaus said. "But he let me know that if they ever caught me again, they would,prosecute me and I would probably end up in jail." Osterhaus has taken the case to U.S. District Court, where a decision probably won't be made for at least a year. "Immigration gave me a copy of the law when I left which clearly says it's illegal to transport undocumented aliens in furtherance ofviolation of the law... and my claim is that we were not in furtherance of violation of the law, becausewe were not trying to further their illegal status here but rather to hand them over to immigrationauthorities to get legal documentation." Osterhaus said the Border Patrol processed the three, givingthem temporary legal status, during the questioning. That afternoon they were taken back to the busstation in her car so they could continue to Canada. From the Border Patrol's Blaine office, Sam Holden, U.S. Border Patrol Deputy Chief Patrol Agent, said statements Osterhaus made during questioningindicate the car had been used in violation of Section 274 of 18 USC 1324. "Any person who knows that a person is an alien and transports or moves them is in violation of this section of the law," Holden said. He said Smith thought, from speaking to the Guatemalans and Osterhaus, that her car had been usedin furtherance of a crime. Osterhaus said she was aiding the refugees because their chances of gettingamnesty are much greater in Canada than in the U.S. According to a General Accounting Office report,in 1986, 7 percent of Salvadorans and 1.6 percent of Guatemalans applying for political amnesty in theU.S. were accepted. For Soviets, this number was 76 percent, and for Nicaraguans it was 60 percent."Just because someone is coming from a nation where there's some strife," Holden said, "that doesn'tmean they can just come into the United States without documentation. That person carries theburden to present themselves as a refugee." Osterhaus cited the U.N. Geneva Convention and the 1980Refugee Act, both of which claim that refugees have a right to safety when they are fleeing their owncountry for reasons of persecution and war. "I believe that they are political refugees," she said."Sanctuary workers in the United States strongly believe they are political refugees after hearing theirstories, yet the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), supported by our government, says theyare economic refugees and so don't have a right to safety in this country and so ought to be deported."Holden said Border Patrol no longer is involved in the car's status, other than providing the court with arationale for the seizure if called upon to do so. "I know very clearly I am following the law of theU.N. Geneva convention, I am very much abiding by the 1980 Refugee Act, and along with that, as Isaid to the INS, I am following what I am strongly committed to as the law of Jesus," Osterhaus, aFranciscan Sister, said. "We're going to continue to do what we need to do to see that these refugeesget safety," she added. This may prove more difficult in the near future. Osterhaus said a law in theworks in Canadian Parliament would greatly increase the difficulty for refugees from these countries toreceive amnesty. "The work has continued," Osterhaus said, "and what I and the whole group feelreally good about is that the presence of these refugees has made a very definite positive impact on thiscommunity. "People who knew nothing about the situation in those countries have become aware of where these countries are and of what our own government is doing down there."

Seventy-five students are attending Western this year as adirect result of the annual $186,000 Western's Upward Bound receives from the U.S. Department ofEducation. The students were contacted by Bernie Thomas, director of the Upward Bound program atWestern, or his co-workers as early as the students' sophomore year in high school. A student mustcome from a low income family or be the first one in the family to attend college. High schoolcounselors, teachers, church groups and Upward Bound comprise a network that selects the students who would benefit most from the program. This network chooses Western's Upward Boundstudents from more than 2,000 qualified students north of Seattle. The yearly grants from the USDEprovide the necessary money to spend about $3,600 per year for each student. Tutoring, studying skillsand cultural enrichment are provided to Upward Bound students while they are still in high school.Upward Bound's goal is to - "provide needed motivation for students to complete high school, go tocollege and complete college," Thomas said. "We provide the students with a kick when they need it." Once in college, students in the program are provided with a helping hand to deal with stress andmaking the change of living on their own an easy one. Small group tutoring, help wfth learning disabilities and personal development classes are also provided to the student. "A lot of these programs werebuilt out of the civil rights era," Thomas said. "We work with individual students needs and provide forthem." Upward Bound students also go to "summer school" for six weeks every summer that they arein the program. Room and board is provided to the student, who lives for the six-week summer sessionin a residence hall at Western. In the afternoon, students may listen to a speaker talk about improvingone's interpersonal skills, and in the evening take a field t r i p to S e a t t l e for a Mariners' baseballgame. "The students get the feeling of college before school starts," Thomas said. "They experiencethat 'learning is fun' for the first time. "Friendship plays a large role in Upward Bound. The instructors are not here for the money...I can tell you that. They're here because they care," he said. "The money (from USDE) is just a physical tool. It's the network and care that provide the most to the program."PICTURE SHOw[ 1209 11TH 7 9 EVES 4:30 MAT. SAT. SUN. ENDS SOON!

Osterhaus said she anticipated buying them tickets to the U.S.-Canadian border wherethey could declare themselves political refugees. But a United States Border Patrol officer stopped thefour and seized the car for knowingly transporting undocumented aliens. U.S. immigration laws make ittough on some Central American refugees. Government agencies like the Immigration and NaturalizationService can be selective when deciding who it will classify as a political refugee. The trend, in fact, is toallow refugees fleeing socialist governments amnesty. They need it more; they're fleeing evil. Refugeesfleeing God-fearing democratic governments, on the other hand, which have the Reagan Brigade's seal ofapproval, don't find entry so accessible. Just look at the numbers. In 1986, 1.6 percent of Guatemalans and 7 percent of Sal-vadorans applying for political amnesty were allowed to stay in the United States,according to a General Accounting Office report. Guatemala and El Salvador, which both operate underdemocratic processes, have the Reagan Administration's support. Democrats don't torture people. Thesame report indicates that percentages were much .higher for refugees from socialist-ruled countries whowere granted amnesty. We allowed 76 percent of Soviets, 52 percent of Syrians and 60 percent ofNicaraguans to stay in 1986. Consequently, refugees from Guatemala head for Canada, which has muchmore slack immigration laws. Osterhaus has taken her case to the U.S. District Court. She may neversee the car again, but that isn't the point. Until the Reagan Administration opens its collective eyes andrealizes that it supports governments that maim and torture just like those nasty socialists, largenumbers of Guatemalans and Sal-vadorans will continue to sneak up 1-5, hoping to make it to Canada,where they'll have at least a fair chance to be granted political asylum. And Americans will continue toaid them. Madonna stands tall in ancestral home Â¥X7"ell, we've all seen her in her underwear. Now, wemight * * get to see her in bronze.

Furthermore, past confrontations and breakdowns in nucleararms talks between the two nations give the INF treaty the appearance of being a "landmark" inarms control. This pact, however, is really nothing mofe than an "inevitable conciliation," best describedas a publicity prize that world leaders Reagan and Gorbachev could return to their political parties with.Inevitably, citizens in both nations hoped for much more during the summit than the INF pact, Douglas Buell News Editor which would call for the removal of all intermediate-range nuclear missiles. Over thenext three years, the superpowers will be required to scrap about 2,700 missiles with rangesbetween 315 and 3,125 miles, roughly 4 percent of the total number of all missiles. This token ofcooperation between the two nations has been given so much significance, though, that itovershadows other issues which received little discussion and analysis during the summit, including SDI, Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf, Nicaragua and conventional forces in Europe. The ReaganAdministration, still healing from its wounds following the Iran-Contra scandal and failure to seat twojudges nominated to the Supreme Court, had little leverage in reaching an agreement with the Soviets.Gorbachev faces the same scrutiny at home for his programs of glasnost (openness) and perestroika(restructuring). The INF treaty still needs ratification, both by the U.S. Senate and the Soviet Politburo,scheduled later this month. While Reagan has publically stated that it is a near certainty the senate willratify the pact, other conservatives led by Rep. Jack Kemp of New York, a Republican presidentialhopeful, said yesterday they plan to present allegations that the Soviets were violating the treaty "even before the ink was dry," according to The Washington Post. A Squeaky-clean getaway- Manson buddy hits the road Last month, Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli soldiers, who shot back with live bullets,and Ron and Mikhail dined together on Columbia River salmon; but it was a valiant, solitary attemptat freedom that gripped this nation's soul like nothing since Baby Jessica, or maybe that five-organ-transplant kid in Pittsburgh. Yes, I'm alluding to Squeaky's short-lived life on the lam. For those of youwho don't recall life before MTV, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was (and probably still is) a lieutenant inthe army of her guru Charles "Don't Call Me Chuck" Manson. She is serving- a life sentence in a WestVirginia federal "corrections facility" for attempting to assassinate Gerald Ford in 1975. (Contrary tosome reports, the shot didn't pass through the motor-control area of Ford's brain.) Anyway, Squeakywas whiling Jeff Keeling Accent Editor away her time in the Mountain State, awaiting the day whendeath would reunite her and Chuck. Apparently a model prisoner, she had refused an offer for a parole in1985. As an Associate Warden reportedly said, she seemed O.K., but she was kind of strange.Imagine that. But on the night of Dec. 23, Squeaky scaled an eight-foot high barbed wire fence, dodgeda hail of machine gun fire while avoiding numerous land mines and booby traps, and disappeared intothe woods. (Actually, only the barbed wire fence and disappearing parts are true, but the rest soundsgood.) The country held its collective breath as this scrappy trooper eluded a massive search in herapparent attempt to strike a blow for religious freedom. You see, authorities speculate that Squeakyhad heard unconfirmed rumors that Manson was dying of cancer; she thus felt the urgent need of anytrue disciple to bid her savior farewell, perhaps slicing up a few holiday revelers en route as a show ofaffection. Alas, it was not to be. The woman who showed her devotion to Chuck by slicing an "X" inher own forehead was recaptured by authorities on Christmas Day, just two miles from the prison, ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 13 ---------- FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 SPORTS WESTERN FRONT 13 Men's b-ball team skins Seals, 137-79 11-1record is Western's best start since 1971-'72 season By John Sleeper staff reporter It was like watching a debate between William F. Buckley and Elmer Fudd. The smooth, stylish, self-assured Westernmen's basketball team, perhaps smarting from Monday's unexpected setback against the University ofBritish Columbia, set five school records in Thursday night's 137-79 trouncing of Sheldon JacksonCollege. The Seals set records for unsuccessful attempts to catch cwa2y wabbits, otherwise knownas fast-breaking Vikings. For Western Coach Brad Jackson, the victory was a breakthrough in moreways than school records. "The hard part in a game like this is to try to keep from getting sloppy," saidJackson, who saw his squad's record climb to 4-0 in District 1 of the National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletics, 10-1 overall. "We accomplished that. "There's a tendency for any athlete to play to the level of competition. We did a good job of playing up to our potential tonight." Western'snumbers indicate the extent of the drubbing: * The Vikings' 137 points shattered the previous record of122, set in 1986 against, yup, Sheldon Jackson. * Western scored 76 points in the first half, breakingthe 1986 mark of 74 against Lewis-Clark State. * In just their eleventh game of the year, the Vikingsscored 100 points for the fifth time. The school record for an entire season was four times, set last year. * Western's 56 field goals broke the previous record of 54, set 17 years ago today against Oregon Tech. * The Vikings passed for 38 assists Thursday night. The old record, 32, was set twice previous-ly.Plus, if such a record were kept, it may have been the earliest a Viking team ever reached 100 points.For those who jot down such trivia, the century mark came with 13:27 left in he game â€” on a lay-in byforward James Johnson. The Seals, 1-5 in the district and 2-10 overall, had 50 points at the time. WhileJohnson worked from the inside for 22 points, hitting 10 for 11 shots from the floor, guard Tim Dickersonbombed from the outside for 19, including three three-pointers. But perhaps most distressing forSheldon Jackson was defensive harassment by Ray Oot-sey. Although the 5-foot-ll reserve guard fromLittle Rock, Ark., scored just eight points, he swiped the ball from unsuspecting Seals six times. " I 'mmostly a defensive player," Ootsey said. "That's about what my job is â€” to come in P Mt.

All of Ootsey's four first-half steals leddirectly to Viking points. Two minutes after he entered the game, his steal and subsequent assist of one of two dunks by Johnson brought the 1,500 fans in Carver Gym to their feet. It also put the Vikingsahead, 44-19, with 9:30 left in the half. Sheldon Jackson Coach Pete Toews said he knew his Sealswere in for a long night. "We knew going in that they were a good team," he said. "When something likethis happens, you can't get down on your players. A lot of athletes have very fragile egos. When theyget beat like that, the last thing they need is for someone to start yelling at them." Toews certainlyhad no need to raise his voice at Jack Fredrick-son, the Seals' 6-5 junior forward from Lynnwood.Fredrickson led all scorers Acta aue5 Section Hair Design Special for VVWU Students Ask for:Richelle Reed 67i*663A 1302 Bay Street Bellingham '-â€¢Dan Tyler with 29 points, 19 in the first half.He hit 14 for 19 from the field. "We knew once we got the ball up, we'd have a good game on theoffensive end," Towes said. "Jack played well, but we had to get the ball into his hands without turning itover." The Seals had 32 turnovers, many of which led to lay-ins off the fastbreak. That, as much as a ny t h i n g , c o n t r i b u t e d to Western's 60 percent shooting mark from the field.

Toppling Hawaii Pacific College twice, 100-92 on Dec. 15 and 86-82 on Dec.19, and Chaminade University of Honolulu, 73-72 on Dec. 17, Western returned home and took a weekoff - not to allow time for the Solarcaine to take effect, but to prepare for a two-game series with UBC.Western took a 111-83 decision from UBC in Lynden last Saturday before Monday's 89-84 loss to theThunderbirds in Vancouver. "I hate losing," Viking Coach Brad Jackson said. "The coaches andplayers were aggravated by it. When you play as well as you can play and lose, that's one thing. Youjust got beaten by a better team. But the loss to UBC upset us." Bouncing back last night with a 137-79 victory against Sheldon Jackson College, the Vikings now sport a MM overall record and lead District1 with a 4-0 slate. All five starters score in double figures, producing the kind of balance CoachJackson said he looks for. Sophmore guard Manny Kimmie leads the Vikings with a 15.2 average. S e n i o r forward James Johnson (15.1) and senior guard Tim Dickerson (15.0) are next, with forward EricSchurman and center Rod Whatley rounding out the starting five at a 12.5 clip. Ever the perfectionist,however, Jackson said he's not completely satisfied. "We've played good teams," he said. "I'mpleased where we're at. But I'd like to see better overall defense for an entire game â€” from anindividual standpoint and from a team standpoint." Jackson also pointed to needed improvement in thehalf-court offense. "We run well on the break," he said. "But when we come out of it without a shot andmake the decision to set up the offense, sometimes we have problems making the transition." PerhapsJackson's worries stem from the fact that the luau is over. The Vikings face tough district opponentsin all but five of their 19 remaining games - starting with St. Martin's College in a 7:30 game Saturdaynight in Carver Gym. The Saints, 7-4 overall and 1-0 in district action, return three starters â€” 6-foot-8 center Brad Erben, 6-2 guard Marvin Prince and 6-6 forward Aron Wallace - from last year's 13-19 team. Second-year Coach Bob Grisham was an assistant at \vo3..ern from 1982-85 under former coach Bill Westphal. "They're a good team, well-coached and well-disciplined," Jackson said. "They certainly have the capacity to beat anyone in the district." The Bottomless Coffee Cup still only 70 cents I coffeehouse /espresso bar evening entertainment V.

The Vikings won seven of the eight gamesthey played during the three weeks between fall and winter quarters. The team played the last sevengames on the road, traveling to Alaska, California and British Columbia. Western now sports a 9-3record. The Vikings are not completely finished with their travels, however, as they play games atLewis Clark State College and Whitworth College tonight and Saturday. "I'm real pleased with ourprogress," said Western Head Coach Lynda Goodrich. "We made strides every game. Our offensemade the biggest improvement. We started strong on defense and rebounding, and now we'reexecuting better on offense, getting better shot selection." Before departing on its road trip, Westernhosted the Western Oregon State College Wolves Saturday, Dec. 12. Junior forward Anna Rabelscored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds, leading the Vikings to a 79-49 victory. Through the first12 games, Rabel is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 10.7 points a game and 6.8rebounds. Balance has been a Western trademark this season, as eight Vikings are averaging morethan five points a game. In Alaska, Western swept a trio of National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics District 1 games, defeating Alaska Pacific University twice, 61-55 and 74-53, then destroyingSheldon Jackson College, 126-59. The 126-point outburst against the Seals set a record for the mostpoints ever scored by a Western basketball team. Following the trip north, Western headed south toCarson, Calif., where they won the Califoria State University- Dominguez Hills Hoop Classic. In theopening round, the Vikings defeated the host Toros, 62-42. In the title game, sophomore forward LynnMunday scored 21 of her game-high 22 points in the second half to lead Western to a 74-65 victory overUniversity of California at Riverside. Western finished its "break" at the University of Victoria Invitational tournament in Victoria, B.C. The Vikings' seven-game winning streak was snapped in the openinground with a 78-62 loss to UVic. The Vikings bounced back in the consolation round, defeating SimonFraser University in overtime, 71-66. Although they already have a 4-1 record in district action, theVikings begin in earnest this weekend with the first two of 15 straight NAIA District 1 games. "I alwaysfeel like this is the meat of the season," Goodrich said. "The tough part is that the team is road wearyand this (the j o u r n e y to LC S t a t e and Whitworth) is a tough trip.

The grantwas furnished by the U.S. Public Health Service's Centers for Disease Control to increase the numberof rural schools providing effective AIDS education. Don Olcott, project coordinator, said four or fivedifferent curricula will be distributed to school districts that teach children about AIDS. "From there, theindividual communities and school districts will choose which program is most appropriate for theirneeds. There will be revisions and input relative to community values," Olcott said. As it is no longertrue that A I D S is only an u r b a n, homosexual problem, Olcott said, all populations and ages need to be educated about the disease. "Kids need to be taught at-risk behaviors: intravenous drug usage,sharing needles, intercourse without protection, anal intercourse, and oral sex without protection,"Olcott said. There will be differences between what is taught to various age groups, he added. "Whatwe teach third graders is not going to be the same as what we teach eighth graders," he said. Theyounger students need to hear general information to relieve fear, he said, with more education on safesexual behaviors starting in sixth or seventh grade. "To reduce the fears is to provide accurateinformation. No, you do not get AIDS from casual contact. No, you do not get AIDS from insects. No,you cannot get AIDS from being in the same building with someone who has the disease," Olcott said.He added the program should be taught within a comprehensive health framework. "It should be taughtalongside of sexually transmitted diseases, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and other social issuesthat affect teenagers," he said. Bryan Fujimoto, coordinator of Western's Sexual Minorities Center, andTanya Bradford, assistant coordinator of the Sex Information Center, have doubts about theeffectiveness of the program. "This sounds great on paper, but it's not going to go anywhere. Teachers need to be taught how to teach AIDS education before they even go before the class," Bradford said,"and someone needs to be there to make sure morality does not become the main consideration ineducating about AIDS." Fujimoto agreed with Bradford, and said, "I'll admit that the individual schooldistricts should have some say, but this should be restricted because, in general, the more rural you get the more conservative you get, and this is not a moral issue."

The section of High Street located in front of the bookstore onthe west side of campus is closed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday. The street is onlyopen to emergency and community transit, campus vehicles, UPS, Federal Express and the U.S. Mail Service during that time, Sgt. John Browne of University Police said. "The basic concept of why it isclosed is to provide a safer access for students to walk to the academic buildings on campus," Brownesaid. Unauthorized vehicles driving during the closed times â€” which are not posted â€” run the risk ofgetting a $71 traffic infraction. ~ Although violators will not necessari-" ly get a ticket for their firstoffenses, that desision will be left to the discretion of the officers, Browne said.

Road closure times are not posted because they were removed when theHaggard Hall construction began, Browne said. "They were originally going to close the streetaltogether," he said. The road will be open 24 hours a day, every day, during the intersession period,which runs from August 22 to September 20. Fairhaven hosts nature summit By Jay Tarpinian TheWestern Front Nature lovers arrived at Fairhaven College Saturday July 18 to begin a week ofenvironmentally centered activities and excursions. The college is hosting the National WildlifeFederation's 28th Annual Conservation Summit. "The main goal of the summit is to create anenvironment where families can learn about environmental and cultural concerns," said Niki Carr, anorganizer of the event. "What really makes (the summits) different from other eco-tours is theFront/Jay Tarpinian Richard Vanderway teaches about local Native American cultures. highly structuredactivity for each age group," Carr said. "Everyone, from age three to age 80, gets covered." The adults inthe group of about 520 people attend lectures to learn about the area's salmon fishing industry, inter-tidal ecology, ancient forests, birds, animals and the Pacific Northwestern American Indian culture. Then,to bring their the knowledge to life, they hike trails in Bellingham and Whatcom County and go sea-kayaking and whale-watching in Bellingham Bay. Children also participate in programs and field trips."We climb mountains and have snowball fights. We basically get to have fun while learning," said LukeConner, 16, who is from Bartonville, 111. and has attended the summits for approximatly seven years.His friend Jessica Springgay, a 15-year old from Gilroy, Calif., said the people are the reason she keepscorning back. The two said the summits serve both as a vacation and a way to maintain their interest inthe environment. Springgay said her favorite summit was in Hawaii because she "just liked the beach."Conner said he liked the scenery in Alaska, but the summit in New Hampshire was his favorite because"it was the first summit I went to and I have good memories. Also, the food was good." Conner's mother, Esther Siewert- Sitzmore, said she likes that her son can do his own thing, and his interest in thesummits is the driving force that keeps them coming back every year. "This is a really nice group ofpeople. There's a lot of camaraderie and friendship," Siewert-Sitzmore said. Carr said the planning forthe summits starts in September. Course instructors are selected by course proposals they submit to the Federation. Potential sites must meet certain housing, facility, meeting room, audio-visual and food-service heeds for the 400 to 600 people who attend. "We have to be able to feed them all at one time,"Carr said. Sites also need to be in an environment offering a variety of activities, and the organizationsthat host the summits need to be environmentally conscious, Carr said. Currently, two summits are held per year, Carr said. This year, the other summit took place in Silver Bay, N.Y. Previous locationshave included Hawaii, Alaska, the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Big Sky, Montana and theAdirondacks of New York. Each site is usually repeated two consecutive years. Bellingham hosted thesummit in 1988, '89, and '90, and next year's summits will be at Fairhaven College and in Estes Park,Colo.

The girl's basketball camp is sponsored by Western's women's basketball team and laststhree weeks â€” one week for individual players, one week for junior varsity-teams, and another weekfor varsity teams. At the end of July, the camp holds a tournament where each team participates in aminimum of three games, as well as practice scrimmages. "There are high school teams from Oregon, Canada and Washington," said Carmen Dolfo, Western's women's head basketball coach and campdirector. "Our camp sizes range from 160 to 115 players." The camps train girls to play and work bettertogether in teams. "It does make some money, but its main purpose is to promote young women to getinvolved with basketball," said Dolfo, who has been coordinating the camp for the last 12 years. "I thinkcamps are fun you want to mix hard work with fun," Dolfo said. Fall sports schedules: Get em whilethey're hot! Current Western players also take part in counseling campers. They act as coaches duringthe games, as well as working on skills. "These girls are awesome. They also listen very well," saidWestern Sophomore Julie Walker, 19, a player and counselor. Each camper pays $290 for one week,which includes a dorm room, lunch and dinners. Each day consists of three sessions. In thesessions, players do warm-ups, exercizes, learn strategies and play games. "I like the competitionbetween the different players; it teaches you how to be better," said 14-year-old camper MackenzieWarren. Teammate Jeaneen Brester, 14, agreed. "Everyone is so positive and the coaches teach you alot, they're really good," she said. "I think it's really neat for teams to come together and get better atbasketball," said 14-year-old camper Courteney Dann. "It's cool to get to know people and see themwhen you play against them in games," Front/Matt Renschler A high school basketballer works on herskills at Western's basketball camp. Western names women's assistant basketball coach By ChrisFryar The Western Front Former Western standout and All- American Gina Sampson was named theVikings' new assistant women's basketball coach July 8. Sampson, a four-year starter and two-timeWestern Female Athlete of the Year (94-95, 95-96), was selected from a nation wide search of nearly100 applicants. She replaced Lori deKubber, who resigned last spring after an eight-year tenure.Western Head Coach Carmen Dolfo said, Sampson immediately rose to the top during the selectionprocess. "I'm really excited that she's going to be a part of our staff," Dolfo said. "She understands whatwe do here. It's a good combination, and I think the players are going to really enjoy her." Sincegraduating from Western in 1996, Sampson has been doing her fair share of traveling. Last year, sheplayed and coached professionally in Australia and was named the Continental Basketball Association Player of the Year. Sampson said she was thrilled to be reuniting with her former coach and returning to Carver Gym, where she accomplished much playing. "I was very excited ... It'll be great working withCarmen; we really click and I'm excited about that," Sampson said. "I think with playing and coachingall over the place, I have a lot more to offer than I did when I first got out of here." Although she may onlybe a couple of years older than many of her players, Sampson said she is confident age will not be aproblem. She said she thinks the closeness in age might make it easier to relate to some of the playersand even take some pressure off Dolfo. During her playing days as a center, Sampson worked hard atgetting her job done in the paint â€” as a coach, her philosophy has stayed much the same. "I thinkdefense wins games," Sampson said. "My philosophy is that hard work isn't fun, but working hard paysoff, and the results of hard-work is fun!" Forever a student of the game of basketball, Sampson is now ina position to assume the role of teacher â€” a task she said she welcomes with open arms. Front/MattRenschler Gina Sampson keeps her eye on the court. "As a player, I learned a lot. Now, as a coach, Ifeel I can bring all that stuff to the team," Sampson said. Sampson said after coaching at virtually everylevel from middle school to professional, the collegiate level appeals to her most. "At this level they wantto be here; they want to work hard, they want to succeed, and I love that part of it," Sampson said.Before graduating from Western with a Sociology degree, Sampson secured her place in the schoolrecord books. She holds 18 school records, including career marks for rebounds (1,277), steals (284) and double-doubles (56, all for points and rebounds). She holds single-game marks for points (42) andrebounds (25). She also ranks second among Western career leaders in points (1,786), third in blockedshots (146) and is ranked 16th in assists (240). Having achieved success on the court at every level,Sampson has permanently traded in her high-tops for a clipboard, a bunch of X's and O's and a seat onthe sideline. Those who follow Sampson's career at Western and all others attending Viking basketball games this season will get a chance to watch yet another Sampson dribbling on the court of CarverGym, Gina is expecting a baby girl in September. Sampson is looking forward to the upcoming seasonthis fall. "1 look forward to contributing to this program and its players," Sampson said. "I think theyare going to be great this year. They mesh well and are a very close-knit team. It's very exciting." ---------- Western Front - 1998 July 22 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT ACCENT/FEATURES July 22, 1998 Friends of the Co-op groove atBoulevard Park By Rachel Dooley The Western Front Sailboats paraded around Bellingham Bay. Therewas a cool and continuous breeze coming off the water, and the sound of drums filled the air. Peoplewere dancing, laughing and enjoying the day. Children ran around with smiles on their faces andtreasures in their hands. The sun smiled down on a little girl spinning around, blowing bubbles thatdanced toward the stage. This was the scene at the Community Food Co-op's Second AnnualCommunity Party celebrating International Co-op Day. The festival ran from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.Saturday at Boulevard Park in Fairhaven. A large gathering of people of all ages came to bask in thesun. Others stopped to lay in the grass and listen to the free music provided during the day by suchbands as Craig Olson, Juba Marimba Band, Magical Vocal Rhythm Womym, Open Drum Circle, ELDJCreation and Devachan. Even though the buck-a-burrito extravaganza ended at 4 p.m., no one seemedto mind. People munched on free popcorn and tortilla chips and drank juices provided by the Co-op.Jamesa Bautista, a member outreach facilitator at the Community Food Coop, is the creator of theannual celebration. Bautista said the Co-op has had a celebration for its members every year, but shewanted to take it one step further last year and invite the community. The celebration is a way of"gathering people together Front/Amy Vandall Three-year-old Robert Rios gets his face painted at theInternational Co-op Day festival. to celebrate cooperativeness and have a good time," Bautista said. Theevent is sponsored by the Food Co-op, but it requires "a lot of volunteer work," Bautista said. The partycoincides with International Co-op Day, started in 1923 to "promote the cooperative movement andpeace and equality," Bautista said. Many outreach programs, such as Woman Care Shelter, CircleFoods, and River Farm, set up information booths about their programs to encourage communityinvolvement. The sound stage for the celebration was solar-powered by River Farms RenewableEnergy Project. The solar generator was hooked on the back of a Volkswagen van that had beensliced in half and painted orange â€” including the windows â€” except where spaces were left in theshape of the sun. Jeffree Utter, a Western graduate, is on the board of directors at the Co-op as wellas the Evergreen Land Trust, which owns five properties. River Farm is one of the five properties andis "a group of people who get together to form a community," Utter said. Utter said River Farm consistsof 90 acres in Deming where Utter lives and works on his energy project. He said River Farm's purposeis "informing the community about stewardship of the land and our relationships." River Farm is also an"educational center," showing people different aspects of agriculture, organic farming and ecologicalforestry. Each person living on the farm has a different area of focus. Utter said River Farm is a placewhere "you can have a normal standard of living." The celebration ended at 8 p.m. with Devachan's Celtic flavored acoustic performance. The day of celebration was over, but the message was not one to beforgotten. Bautista's idea to bring a sense of cooperation had succeeded. ---------- Western Front - 1998 July 22 - Page 5 ---------- 22, 1998 ACCENT/FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 5 Jody Bergsma: â€¢ â€¢ 1 enterprising ,local artist By Jenni Odekirk The Western Front A Native American girl sits cross-legged, swaddled in a beige and blue blanket, cradling a spear in her'lap with a w stoic look on her face. Behind her stands agray and white horse. Below her, the earth twists and turns. Above her, the light of dawn is rising throughsilver-blue clouds that form a buffalo, a wolf, a cougar and two bears; A white moon highlights the eye ofan owl, which blends seamlessly into the swirling amber, mahogany, lavender and navy sky. The words,"Sometimes I am by myself, but I am never ^ alone," appear below the image. Of the thousands ofwatercolor paintings Bellingham artist Jody Bergsma has painted, this one is her favorite. That paintingfalls into Bergsma's Natural Elements line, featuring wildlife in its natural surroundings painted in afantasy style. "I am very interested in the preservation of our natural gt; world and when you paint it, you make it important," Bergsma said. "And when you give the natural world a soul, you make it holy."Bergsma also paints a second line called Dreamkeepers, including wide-eyed, whimsical elves, friendlyanimals and, sometimes, inspirational messages. The words, "Care more than others think is practical,risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is reasonable and you will become more than others think is possible," adorn the image of a bright-eyed pixie boy and girl riding above the earthin a pink, purple and blue hot-air balloon named "Carpe Diem", flanked by a pair of gentle raccoons andmajestic eagles. Bergsma, 35, is tall and thin with bouncy short blond hair and large blue eyes andexudes the warmth and energy of her elfin characters. She said she paints Dreamkeepers withchildren especially in mind. "One of the things about painting for children is that there are not very manypeople willing to do it and there's a whole audience there of people under 20," Bergsma said. "It's been avery successful thing for me financially, because there's not very much competition." In addition to herartistic skill, Bergsma has a good business sense. In 1994, she won the Best Bellingham Businessaward for the Jody Bergsma Galleries and Cafe, located at 1344 King St., Bergsma Gift Gallery at BellisFair Mall and the Wholesale Warehouse at 1301 Fraser St. Prints of all sizes, figurines, stationary,cards and T-shirts are among other items featuring Bergsma's art can be found at any of her threegalleries. Bergsma's art became profitable when she began making prints in 1979. "That was the bigshift," Bergsma said. "From painting each piece separately to going ahead and letting machineryreproduce the imagery." "If only Van Gogh could have made prints," she added, laughing. Bergsmadecided to build her King Street gallery in 1984 â€” the year of the Vancouver Expo â€” after attending aseminar on the power of tourism and the importance of being located next to a main arterial of traffic.The adjacent cafe was originally meant to be a place to give lectures and serve cookies, but more foodwas added to the menu as the years went by. The cafe is open 12 hours per day to enable Bergsma tohave a sign on the freeway. "That was actually part of our advertising budget," Bergsma said. Bergsmasaid she started the gift store in 1989 to expand her customer base to Canadians. From her wholesalegallery, Bergsma sends artwork to about 3,000 stores in the United States and distributes it in Canada,England and Australia. Bergsma said she also sells a lot of artwork through 1- 800 lines and the Internet. "Marketing is beyond what you see visually in the three locations," she said. Bergsma used to paint atthe King Street Gallery, but when it got too busy, she started painting at her home studio. She goesinto seclusion six months of the year to paint, devoting half of her time to. children's paintings and theother half to nature and .more sophisticated paintings; "Often, my images will start in the middle of ablack background and I.go, 'oh, there's an inspiration coming forward,"'Bergsma said. "When I first startdrawing and painting, ifs very stumbly â€” I can't draw; I can't get the colors right, and it's not working,"she said. "It's Eke this every time. And all of the sudden, I get into a flow and then I go, 'I'm in' â€” Ialways say that â€” and then I can almost not draw any-thing wrong or paint anything wrong." Bergsmaworks with her inner world when she is painting, rather than images from reality. She attributed thatstyle and her interest in art to a childhood experience. "My mom made me draw for therapy because I had really bad problems with nightmares," she said. "When I drew them, I found that they were no longerscary," she said. "From the very beginning of time, I was encouraged to draw from my imagination instead of drawing from a still life." Bergsma drew all during her childhood and was invited by her aunt to takepart in a Port Angeles art show when she was 15. "I had all of these paintings that I'd won awards with,but I also had some children's paintings that I painted ... and people loved them," she said. Bergsmamade $60 at her first art show. By the time she was 18, she would routinely make thousands of dollars at art shows. Bergsma painted to pay her way through Western as an engineering major but did not believe she could make a living from it at the time. "I hadn't discovered printing yet," Bergsma said. Instead ofbecoming an engineer, Bergsma went to Vancouver, B.C. to study art. "That's where I started todevelop my Natural Elements style," Bergsma said. "They have a really incredible group of people calledthe group oi seven. They all spiritualize nature. What they wanted to do was show that nature is alive. Igot very excited about that." , Bergsma said'the impressionists have influenced her Work. "I alwaysloved the impressionists because I'm not really interested in reality," she said. "I'm interested in whatthe mind does with reality and how ... what you really see is reality filtered through their mind and soul."To remain inspired, Bergsma experiments with new topics and incorporates into her artwork thingsshe's seen on her travels around the world. Bergsma just came back from Ireland and said that willinspire this year's theme. "I looked at the Book of Kells at Trinity College and went through the museums there and was really excited," Bergsma said. This August, "Skycastles," the third book Bergsma has illustrated, will come out. She described the book, as an "inspirational book for kids with all thesebeautiful illustrations inside where fairies build this castle in the sky." Bergsma has also illustrated"Dreambirds," a Native American myth and "The Right Kind of Touch", a charity book aimed at preventing the sexual abuse of children. "The Right Kind of Touch" was voted Best Book by the Parent TeacherAssociation and Best Children's Book by Small Publishers. Next, Bergsma plans to release a line ofbookmarks that will have close-ups of her work on the top of them and quotes she has collected on thebottom of the bookmark. She said she plans to call the line the Famous Quotes Bookmark Collection.Bergsma also said she wants to illustrate a book a year for the next 10 years. "I could probably retireright now, but I'd be bored," Bergsma said. "On the other hand, you never know what tomorrow will bring."

This requirement was set by the head of the independent counsel investigating Clinton, Kenneth Starr â€” and it is a bit absurd. The question on most people's minds is whether this sort of testimonyviolates the privacy of the President and if the alleged affair between Clinton and Lewinsky involves thepublic. If President Clinton went to see a doctor and confessed a private detail of his life, he would nodoubt be guaranteed confidentiality. But, as Starr's witch hunt continues, it appears the only way topossibly obtain the nitty gritty facts of what happened behind closed doors is to question SecretService members. As of last Friday, three members of Clinton's security department had testified beforeChief Justice William Rehnquist, with more testimony scheduled, including that of Larry Cockell, headof Clinton's security department. So, the question remains: Should Starr, along with the entire world, bemade privy to what happened between Clinton and Lewinsky? I think not. I do not believe this is a matterthat conflicts between Clinton's personal and public life. On the other hand, the scandal allegedly tookplace within the White House Oval Office, so does it pertain to the public? The last time Secret Servicemembers were forced to testify was during the Iran-Contra affair. This was clearly an issue involving public safety, and more importantly, presidential loyalty to the United States. I do not believe this whole Clintonmess lies within those boundaries. The only person Clinton should have to tell the truth to is Hillary.Soon, Cockell will testify. He may just be the man Starr has been waiting to hear. As to what questionsStarr will ask Cockell, we can only wait and see. By forcing Cockell to testify, it is clear Starr does nothave a case without testimonies from people who may have been present when the alleged affair between Clinton and Lewinsky occurred. John Kottelly, Cockell's attorney, said, on the advice of counsel, Cockell would object to the specific question or type of question that Starr may ask. So, in other words, theSecret Service is willing to play along with Starr's charade as long as they do not have to blow Clinton'scover. If the judge overrules Cockell's objection, Clinton's attorneys would be able to intervene and appealthe judge's decision. This tells me that we will get us no further than we've already gotten, with Clinton'sattorneys being able to force a stalemate if push ends up coming to shove. Kottely also said he doubtsClinton's attorney-client privilege will be violated â€” but it already has with the Secret Service membersbeing called to testify. With Cockell taking the stand, his Secret Service status will no doubt be inquestion, because he will be in the public light. Can Secret Service members do a good job when they are the upcoming stars of tabloid television for this week? Clinton will now have to worry about every move he makes, and he will not just have to look out for media and other spies who are trying to infiltrate him; hewill also have to watch his back around his own Secret Service members. This is a position I believe noother president has been put in before. Starr is wrong to believe that Cockell's job as head of security forClinton will not be affected by his testimony. Clinton may be a scoundrel in some people's eyes, but he is still entitled to his private life â€” which is supposed to be protected by the Secret Service, not exposedby it. â€”Todd Wanke, Managing Editor AFTfeR THÂ£ SECRET gt;Â£RV*CE: The Western FrontEditor: Steven Uhles; Managing Editor: Todd Wanke; News Editor: Ken Brierly; Accent/Features Editor:Katy Calbreath; Opinions/Sports Editor Corey Lewis; Copy Editor: John Bankston; Photo Editor: BarneyBenedictson; Online Editor: Jeremy Reed; Adviser: Carolyn Dale; Business Manager: Teari Brown;Cartoonist: Chad Crowe; Guest Starring: Caroline Deck; Guest Guest Starring: Carey Ross StaffReporters: Erika Ahlstrom, Nicole Anstedt, Kari Benny, Nancy Boutte, Laura Campbell, AnnMarie Coe,Rachel Dooley, Chris Fryar, Briana Glenn, Nadja Kookesh, Alexander Mc Lean, Dan Miller, ChristopherMuellenbach, Kristen O' Connor, Jenni Odekirk, Daniel Peters, Timothy Reid, Matt Renschler, ChristineRoss, Jay Tarpinian, Greg Tyson, Amy Vandall, Tyler Watson.

PRU-RIDDE/V/6RANOf!ARÂ£NfOgt;- ZMMVN}nyPENIEQ Uouf^ys People should view elders as blessing but noburden Greg Tyson COMMENTARY Old age should be a wonderfulâ€¢ time in anyone's life.Retirement and a less chaotic schedule are just some of the perks associated with the September of our years. Yet, it rarely seems to turn out this way. Andy Rooney once said, although the thought of livinga long life appeals to everyone, the thought of actually getting old appeals to no one. Indeed, many of uswould rather be chased by a pack of ravenous pit bulls than get our first gray hair. We abhor old age anddiscriminate against those past their prime. No place is this truer than the work place. An article postedon the Career Builder Network's website stated last year nearly 16,000 American workers filedcomplaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging violations of the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Under the ADEA, it is illegal for a worker to be discharged ordemoted simply because of his or her age. Corporations seeking to cut costs generally targetemployees in their 50s and 60s who often earn higher salaries. Corporations also worry that if they donot let go of their older members, they will be viewed as too stubborn and expensive by potential clients. In the end, this comes down to the staunchest of American ideals â€” respecting your elders.Unfortunately, like listening to eight-tracks or taking the family to the local drive-in theater, this seemslike one tradition that has long since disappeared. For many college-bound students, the thought ofgetting old is hardly a concern. Why should it be? After all, many of us have our whole lives ahead of us.We still entertain thoughts of making it big and changing the world. But what about the other end of thespectrum? Unlike the brash, wet-behind-the-years upstarts, people in their 50s and 60s are generallymore conservative. Twenty-somethings, on the other hand, are much more apt to throw caution to thewind. Yet no matter how much work and time older people have invested in a corporation, manyexecutives are still not above letting go of a 62-year-old in favor "We need to get it out of our heads thatjust because somebody is old, he or she is ineffectual" of a 22-year-old. Sometimes the decision iswarranted. After all, most 62-year-olds are not going to possess the same spunk and go-get-'em attitudethat a 22-year-old will exude. Yet other times, a corporation will let an older worker go simply because itis looking for fresher blood. In this case, corporations are not only acting irresponsibly, but heartlessly,too. Older people deserve to remain employed as long as they can get the job done. If this means turning down a 22-year-old Harvard graduate, so be it. Older people who have worked hard for a corporation ---------- Western Front - 1998 July 22 - Page 7 ---------- July 22, 1998 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Drinking stats blurred Rachel DooleyCOMMENTARY A few months ago I was randomly chosen to participate in a mail survey fromWestern's Prevention and Wellness Services. I feverishly used my number-two pencil to answer the alcohol- related questions. I have been curious about this survey since I first laid eyes on the cheesyadvertisements that are often printed in The Western Front. I have chuckled at the ads showing smiling college students who seem happy and drug-free with the much-abused slogan "66 percent of Westernstudents have 4 or fewer drinks when they party." I wonder who these people really are in these ads.They look like the nicest people â€” your parents would never suspect they would ever drink alcohol.One look at the small print in these advertisements reveals that the survey was based on a whopping 512 students. How the center can justify this "66 percent" as a truth about Western's student populationis beyond me when there are more than 11,000 students attending Western. The information is also from 1996. By misrepresenting the facts, these ads give students the wrong idea about drinking at Western. I wonder if a larger percentage of students were given the same random survey, would the results bethe same? My guess is probably not. Establishing a dry campus is obviously not the answer. Just lookat the ridiculous aftermath of Washington State University. It's a very sad lesson about students of ourgeneration who seem to lack passion to stand up for something more important than alcohol. Peoplerioting because they can't drink, scares me. There are so many more worthwhile things to fight for.Western should definitely not follow in WSU's footsteps, If students couldn't drink on campus, what's tostop them from drinking off-campus or even in Canada? Supposedly, there has been a decline indrinking in the past 20 years. I recently read in The Daily University Star On-line that binge drinking isdescribed as having 4 or more drinks for women and 5 or more drinks in a row for men. After readingthat, I don't think Western should be exceptionally proud of that 66 percent when it doesn't reflect anaccurate percentage of the total student body. Even if the survey is based on 512 students it stillmeans 34 percent, or 174 students, do have a serious drinking problem. Maybe I am reading into these ads a little too much. The results of the survey I took will be available in the fall. As I anxiously await for the new ads, I hope Western comes up with a more positive way to reach out to the unknownpercentage of students who do drink more than 4 drinks when they party. I would rather see a picture ofsomeone who called a support group to get help from an advertisement that offer phone numbers orservices of places where students can call if they have a problem. I think that would send a morepositive message than that of a happy, smiling, supposedly drug-free college student. Net addictconfesses Dan Miller COMMENTARY I admit it; I'm an addict. I've lost many hours of sleep over thisparticular vice. It haunts me in my dreams â€” pleading and begging for my attention. I've fallen under the spell of my computer. ~ : Before you laugh, you must un-derstand that I've never gotten hooked onsomething like this before. My computer occupies so much of my precious time. Even as I write thisarticle, my computer is slyly toying with my brain. It's saying, "Come on, hook me up to the net, it won'thurt." So I do. As I dial, a small pang of guilt hits me. "I should be typing more," I say to myself, "Ok,I'll just hook up, no browsing." Suddenly/I hear a tone that alerts me that I have an incoming message viaICQ (a networking program that lets you and your friends quickly send messages back and forth to each other over the internet). The message is from one of my friends â€” a simple note that says "hey." Iquickly message him back with a "Hello" and continue on with my paper. I was determined to not lethim kill my "work time." After a couple of minutes, I feel this invisible nag; it's my computer again,subconsciously telling me to check my e-mail. I finally give in, assuring myself it only is e-mail; it can't be too bad. So I check it. Instead of e-mail, I accidentally click my browser. "Oh no!" I say out loud. Mybrowser opens revealing to me a flurry of colors and pictures, interesting news hyperlinks and ads.Fortunately, none of the news is exciting enough to make me stop working, so I minimize my browserand check my mail. Good, there is nothing new in the e-mail department either. Yet curiosity again getsthe best of me and I decide to check who is online with ICQ. I notice the friend who greeted me earlier isstill online. He must be playing a game or something because I have no other messages from him.Another beep flashed as soon as I finished the sentence. If s him. The message "was simple, yetdevilish, "Hey, Quake 2 rules." Quake 2 is a computer game that is played over the net where peoplecan do battle against each other in a series of mazes. I can easily get caught up in a game of Quake 2and play for four hours without a wink. If s great, addicting fun â€” and he knows it. Now at this point myinterest is perked. I message him back asking him which map he's on. Now I am at the point of no return. As I started off innocently typing away at this editorial, my mind has quickly become possessed withthoughts of checking e-mail, browsing and playing games. Now, you might think this is an oddoccurrence, but it happens all of the time. I am really impressed that I get as much work done as I do.Everyday the same struggle is played out in my mind. Sometimes I'm lucky and win, but most of thetime my work and I becomes a casualty to hours and hours of pure enjoyment at the keyboard of mycomputer. Fortunately, my friend, "the tempter" quickly messaged me and said he had to go and hecan't do anything at the moment. In a breath of relief I know I can finish the article and save the day. â€¢â€¢ â€¢ l l l i K i i i l l i S S i ilPllllw8HHS^HIIl^^^B â€¢MIHllMi MOVE-IN SPECIALS!

This was her second year participating in the walk. "It's surprising to me that this(walk) is so easy for me, but this is so important. It's the family things that are the hardest on mebecause he's not there," Handerson said. Dec. 1 was annual World AIDS Day and brought peopletogether not just from Whatcom County but from all over the world. Walkers joined others at the churchand packed the pews. The ceremony included various speakers, all of whom have had personalexperiences with AIDS. Many spoke of family members lost to AIDS and the journey they went throughright up to the end of their, loved ones' lives. Other speakers talked about what it is like to live with HIVor AIDS on a daily basis.

The number of Western graduates in the class of 1997 who secured jobs in their field within three months of graduation increased, according to a yearly Career Services Center survey. "We're getting a sense that this pastyear is going to be even stronger," said Marcia Lewis, assistant director of Western's Career ServicesCenter. The average beginning salary for Western's class of 1997 increased by about $1,000 per year,Lewis said. "It's a very tight labor market, but on top of that, Western graduates have a very goodreputation," said Lewis, who helps organize the survey each year.

"Students don't realize it's theft," said Viking CommonsManager Norry Yamashita. Every year, Marriott spends roughly $25,000 to replace silverware, dishesand chairs. More than half of this, about $5 per meal plan every year, goes toward replacing what isstolen. Marriott officials say taking food and other items from the three dining halls on campus raisescosts for students. "(Stealing) hurts the students," Yamashita said. "We're here to manage thestudents' money, and stealing only raises the cost (of meal plans)." Determining exactly how muchtaking food costs students is nearly impossible, but if Marriott were to switch its program to an all-you-can-take meal plan, the cost to students would triple, Yamashita said. "I would rather see foodtaken and eaten than see food wasted," said Kappa resident Mike Sullivan. In an attempt to keep costslow, Marriott places amnesty boxes in all of the residence halls at the end of each year for students toreturn stolen dishes, no questions asked. "It's amazing how much stuff is out there," Yamashita said. While many dishes are returned via the boxes, Yamashita said his biggest concern is all the dishes that get thrown away. "Students take dishes, then throw them away when they get dirty," Yamashita said."This really starts to add up." Many students complain about being hungry when the dining halls areclosed, but Yamashita said this is no longer a valid excuse with the extended hours of the dining halls.From 7 a.m. until 6:45 p.m. weekdays, at least one of the dining halls is open, except for half an hourbefore dinner. This year, Marriott even added the late-night hour at the Viking Commons from 9 p.m. to10:30 p.m. "The excuse of being hungry later doesn't slide," Yamashita said. The rule states thatnothing can be taken out of the dining halls, but Marriott officials have adjusted the policy to allowstudents to take ice cream cones or fruit they have already begun eating out of the commons. Otherschools, such as the University of Washington, have a system similar to flex or munch moneyprograms, that give students an allowance and requires them to pay for every item they take. Marriott has not considered adopting this system, but it is continuing to search for ways to rectify this problem. ---------- Western Front - 1998 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS December A, 1998 Campus Police: Nov. 24,12:06 a.m.: A vehiclewas reported damaged in the 500 block of South College Drive.

It was originally created in fall 1995 for the purpose of "increasing (the) utilization oftechnology in higher education" because "state-allocated funds are inadequate to meet theprojected technology needs of students." "We wouldn't have any of the (technology) we have todaywithout the Student Technology Fee/' said Associated Students Vice President for Academic AffairsVictor C. Cox. Students provide approximately $350,000 per year. The University annually provides$100,000, and Western Foundation provides $100,000 A.S. President Sarah Steves said. The fee isimposed on all full-time, on-campus students and may soon be replaced. The program must be re-implemented every four years with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The four years are up in 1999and there are three options for the STF Program: keep the program as it is, modify it or use thelegislative model as other state universities do. Under the current program, the STF Committee isresponsible for recommending allocations to the university president, but Karen Morse has the finaldecision. . The STFC is comprised of the A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs, who acts as thechair, A.S. vice president for Student Life, two students appointed by the A.S., vice provost forInformation and Telecommunication Services, a faculty representative from the Academic TechnologyCommittee and a faculty representative appointed by the Faculty Senate. According to literatureprovided by Cox, modifications to the program could change the source of the funding. Funds couldcome from the students alone, the university and students or Western Foundation and students. Theproposal process could also be modified. Adopting the legislative model would give final say about which proposals are accepted to the A.S. Board rather than Morse. However, funding from the university andWestern Foundation might disappear, and the student fee would increase. Student fees at other stateuniversities using the legislative model are much higher, Cox said: $40 at the University ofWashington and Washington State and $25 at Central Washington. The legislative model can also beabolished each year by the A.S. "That could be a downfall for an uninformed group," Cox said. The STFProgram provides new computer labs, upgrades, servers like Titan, as well as non-computer technology. With the STF program, students have a say about how their money is allocated, but unfortunatelythe opportunity is rarely taken advantage of, Steves said. Students and student groups may submitproposals for allocations of no less than $10,000, but only one such proposal has ever beensubmitted, she added. . Most proposals come from different departments for technology withinspecific departments, Cox said. The deadline is Jan. 29, 1999, and each proposal must include threesections. Section one is a project overview. Section two should describe the project in detail, how itmeets STF objectives and its impact on existing academic programs. Section three is a detailed, line-item budget. "That can be very intimidating for students," Steves said. In the last three years,$2,046,778 has been spent on everything from science work kits to projectors to new computer labs.Students provided 56 percent of the funding â€” $1,156,213. Lack of student participation is greatly dueto the intimidating proposal process and a lack of student knowledge concerning the program, Stevessaid. Both Steves and Cox said they urge students to approach the A.S. for assistance with theprocess. "It can't hurt to try," Cox said. "Even if (a student proposal) gets turned down, at least it shows the University that (students) are using the program." Nessie, from page 1 Titan system. Folders, some tapes, log-ins and Pine address books may be converted to Titan before Nessie is retired.

AIDS is spreading exponentially among women, people of color, I.V.drug users and young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Allsopp stated that as of December 1996,more than eight-million cases of AIDS have been reported worldwide, resulting in 6 million deaths. Ithas been estimated that approximately 750,000 individuals in the United States and 23 million individuals throughout the world are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Allsopp informed the audiencethat 700 people in Whatcom County are currently infected with AIDS. "I could just stand here and tellyou all of these numbers and not tell you what it means to me. We each have to figure out what it means to each one of us," Allsopp said. "It means to me that this is a world epidemic; its pandemic. It's not just Whatcom County; it's not just Seattle; it's not just Washington; it's not just the United States ... It's allof us â€” it's a plague." After the speeches were over, people lined up and walked to the front of thechurch to light candles in memory of people who died from AIDS or are still battling the disease. Eachperson placed their lit candles in a container filled with sand while saying the names of loved ones whoare infected with HIV or AIDS. A string quartet played music during the candlelight vigil. Approximately40 candles burned brightly as people shared a moment of silence to remember those who have lost theirlives to AIDS. "The candles represent more than these lives. They represent the spirit of love and hope all over the world," said Heather Lynn Hanson, interim minister of the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship. "Let us not let these lights go out in our memories and in our hearts. So as you leave today, carry the lightswithin your heart, and share it with others." After the AIDS vigil, many gathered to talk about each other'sexperiences and to give one another support and understanding. "(The vigil) was a lot more emotionalthan I had expected. I didn't expect to be drawn into it as much as I had/' said 23-year-old Westernstudent Bruce Goodings. "Just hearing people's names being mentioned and seeing the candles lit andeverybody going up definitely made me stop and think of the people who I have known and know of thatare dealing with AIDS. It made the whole ceremony a lot more personal." DOWNTOWN JOHNNYS ^ l i ^ i M M K !

The Huxley team focused on the culturalimplications of. the 190-acre clear-cut proposal and its effects on forests and streams. AlthoughHuxley's team said the proposed timber harvest should not take place, it expressed the fact that clear-cutting is an inevitable part of our culture. Nature is an essential part of Lummi culture. If these sightsare cleared, the purity of the place is ruined and they will not be able to carry on their traditions, saidTom Edwards from the Lummi Nation Natural Resources Department. "A lot of our resources are dying,and the native people are going to perish if we continue to take more than we have," Edwards said. "We, the Lummi people from Snohomish, Skagit, Nooksack and Whatcom counties, are spreading the wordof the impact from the clear-cut proposal." The Huxley team consisted of nine Western studentsbelonging to the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Members included Jennifer Goodhart, BrianAtwood, Marc Beaiidreau, Shawn Boeser, Ken Charm, Kate Cox, Jill Olson, Heather Romano andRebecca Schlender, with the advisement of professor Lynn Robbins and William Summers. TheWashington State Department of Natural Resources proposed to clear-cut 190 acres of forest in theLake Whatcom Watershed. The harvest plan included three units near Austin Creek â€” a major tributary to Lake Whatcom. The clear-cut is expected to yield eight-million board feet of timber, which will havean adverse effect on forest growth. This in turn will increase sedimentation in area streams, increasing stream temperature and water levels, the assessment plan states. This is a part of DNR's 60-yearharvest plan, which brought many citizens to the open forum last night. The students proposed analternative to clear-cutting, which is to have partial-cutting or random removal of individual trees.Activists, community members and interested students questioned the team's findings and voicedtheir own opinions about the impact of clear-cutting. The Austin Flats and areas near the proposedlogging activity are a sight of cultural significance for the Lummi people. The Austin Flats is used byyoung Lummi men to go on their vision-quests. "We go into an isolated place where we only drink spring water, eat grasses, berries and roots," Edwards said. "We are one with ourselves and nature. This ishow we receive our vision." Besides the quests, the land is utilized for trails and contains pet-roglyphs,which are Native American rock carvings and paintings. Some of these are more than 500 years old,Edwards said. "Clear-cutting in a watershed is not a good idea," EIA lead editor Heather Romano said."The people here are most concerned because of it being part of the 60- year plan. They areconcerned with the cumulative effects." Sudden Valley resident Jamie Berg got involved in the AustinFlats issue because her home is directly in the path of possible debris flow if the proposed clear-cuttakes place. "This will not only affect my Whatcom â€¢-â€¢ I â€¢ " I II ' Propos^^tf|yrest Areas Frontgraphic/Ben Stabler The Austin Flat proposal discussed at Tuesday's forum includes clear-cutting 190acres in the Austin Creek Sub-basin area. family and the quality of our lives," Berg said. "It will alsoaffect the quality of life of the watershed as a whole due to the fact that clear-cutting separatestributaries that cause erosion, which decreases water quality." To Ken Charm, the EIA cultural-featuresspecialist, it is an all-or-nothing issue. "In terms of cultural effects, the way the Lummi Nation uses theland â€” any forest cut, whether it is a partial-cut or a clear-cut, any cut at all is going to alter the waythey (Lummi) can use the land," Charm said. "Based on the cultural problems, we make a preferredrecommendation that no cutting takes place at the Austin Flats."

Gov.Gary Locke's Commission on the Future of Higher Education released its final report on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The report outlines how to support the increasing demand for post-secondary education. The 21-member commission, appointed by Locke, spent nine months devising what it believes to be a viablevision of higher education through the year 2020. "This was a very serious attempt to imagine what theeducation system will be in the next 20 years," Western Provost Dennis Murphy said. The reportestimates that by the year 2020 Washington's post-secondary education system will need to support100,000 more learners than it is presently serving. Most of this increase will be seen in the next 10 years, said Judy McNickle, the legislative liaison for Western. "That is roughly nine Western(-sized) universities in a decade," McNickle said, adding that it is not in the state's best advantage to build nine newcampuses in 10 years. The 2020 commission agrees and suggests that existing public institutions findnew ways to stretch capacity, such as offering classes into the evenings and on the weekends. Thisexplosion in demand for post-secondary schooling is driven partially by demographics, the report said.Some uncertainty is involved when looking at a long-term participation forecast based on demographicprojections, said Jay Teachman, a Western sociology professor. "When looking at demographicprojection, we know how many people are physically available to go to college; what we aren't certainabout is how many will enroll," Teachman said. The commission's report argues that in the next 20 years our economy will become more knowledge-based, meaning that good jobs will require higher levels ofskill and knowledge than in the past. Commission members recommend that post-secondary educationbe a higher priority in the state budget. Administrators at Western agree and hope the governor andlegislature take a serious look at funding for post-secondary education. "Education is an investmentinto the future, and if you 'X^nnnn 300000 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 o â€¢ | Hm HMI^m ^H ^1 ^H â€¢â€¢ ^H ^ 1 ^M ^1 ^^| â€¢ ^^H ^^H 1998 2010 2020 Front graphic/Ben Stabler â€¢Demand Due to Knowledge Based Economy a Demand Due to Population Growth â€¢ Demand Due toKnowledge Based Economy 32000 Source: 2020 Commission don't invest in the investment you have aminus return in the future," said Bradley Smith, dean of Huxley College of Environmental Studies. "Weare a state-funded university without which we would not even exist," Murphy said. The commission didnot determine how to fund changes but did make suggestions about how to cut costs. Onerecommendation is to move students who learn faster through the system faster. The commissionsuggests allowing more high school students to earn college credits, and to reduce duplication classesfrom other institutions. Some say moving a student through the education system as fast as possiblerobs them of the opportunity to explore their options. "If the legislator had its way, you would elect yourmajor the minute you walked on campus and would not be allowed to change it," said Marie Eaton, deanof Fairhaven College. Commission members say strong resources, such as advisement and information,will allow students to make better choices about higher education. It also suggests four-year institutionswork more closely with community colleges. A common goal among administrators at Western, is just that â€” to maintain a better bridge of communication with prospective Vikings coming directly out ofcommunity colleges. "Transfer students by definition come to us with all their GURs fulfilled," saidPeter Elich, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, "yet several transfers come unprepared." "At atwo-year college you don't really focus on a four-year degree; you focus on an Associates of Arts degree, which isn't too specific," Western junior Erik Christensen said. President Karen Morse and presidentsfrom other public and independent colleges and universities have vowed to work with commission leaders, the governor and legislators to "expand the dialogue about this report and begin taking the necessarysteps to implement its recommendations," Morse said in a press release. "It is estimated thatimplementations of the report would cost more than one billion dollars," Morse said. "Clearly it cannot beimplemented unless we all commit to its objectives and work together over a sustained period of time."So what happens next? "It is too soon to tell," McNickle said. People are still looking it over. "Whathappens to (the commission's report) depends, in part, on how actively the persons who wrote and thegovernor pursue it," McNickle said.

The raw numbers of students graduating from high school andcommunity college prepared for further education has risen, said John Swiney, associate director ofadmissions at UW. This growth has had a significant effect on the UW's applicant pool, Swineysaid. In fall of 1998, UW denied 1,573 resident freshman admissions, compared with 1,000 five yearsago and less than 400 eight years ago, Swiney said. To narrow down applicants, UW has increased itsstandards for admissions, forcing students to apply somewhere else, Swiney said. That somewhere ismore likely Western than public universities east of the Cascades, Registrar Joe St. Hilaire said. Hespeculates that part of its appeal is the location. Enrollment growth during the last nine years shows that something is attracting students to Western. Enrollment is at an all-time high of 11,655, up from 9,500in 1989, St. Hilaire said. This enrollment growth has created a bit of a problem in that the number ofstudents is increasing more rapidly than structural support, said Western Provost Dennis Murphy.This is the reason for increased use of classroom space in the afternoon and evening, Murphy said.Like UW, Western has also seen a steady increase in freshman applicants during the last five years;however, transfer applicants at Western and statewide have been decreasing until just this year,Admissions Director Karen Copetas said. Western's Office of Admissions already seeing an increase intransfer applicants, so admissions is becoming more competitive. To narrow down prospectivetransfers, Copetas said she is beginning. to look for major preparation. "It seems there is still anassumption that you get your GURs or (Associate of Arts) and then worry about your major," Copetassaid. Washington State's enrollment has not been quite as steady as Western's. In fall of 1998,Washington State had a 20-percent increase in freshman applicants from last year, compared toWestern's 1.3-percent increase and UW's 10-percent increase. The university has been preparing forenrollment growth, Registrar Dave Guzman said. Washington State has seen enrollment and freshman applicants decrease over the last few years, so the large pool of freshman applicants this fall waswarmly welcomed, Guzman said. "Right now we are comfortable with the growth in enrollment andare willing to take more," Guzman said. Both Central and Eastern are ready to take more students aswell. Eastern has about 7,700 students on its campus this fall. It can easily accommodate 9,000, ---------- Western Front - 1998 December 4 - Page 7 ---------- December 4, 1998 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 From Funky ?o fine* Rainbow Jambo Candles^ixtH^I/{/(ult;e Teapots Great Gifts at the Co-op Foorco-oP 1220 N.

So unless theplan is do all the shopping the day before Christmas, overdraw the checking account and pray that richaunt Zelda doesn't make bright-red footy PJ's for all the nieces and nephews, it might be wise to startthinking along the lines of a creative and inexpensive gift. Here are a few ideas to get the brain churningfrom the creative mind of Glenda Curdy, a weekend crafter. A handmade gold or silver leaf pictureframe is simple and inexpensive to make, yet the finished product looks rich and classy. To make it, find a wood or plastic picture frame of the desired size and style. The thrift shop is a great place to hunt forsomething like this. Buy a gold- or silver-leaf kit at Michaels Arts and Crafts, and you're in business. A gold- or silver-leaf kit cost less than $10 at Michaels and will cover about five seven-by-11-inch frames.The estimated time for the project is two to four hours, which includes dry time between base coat,adhesive and the optional sealer. Give a gift from the kitchen with Curdy's Chinese walnut recipe. Thesetasty treats are similar to honey roasted peanuts but are made with walnuts. One batch makes aboutfour cups of walnuts, minus a few for taste testing. For gift-giving, simply put Chinese walnuts inplastic zipper bags, or for a more creative packaging idea, try decorating an old peanut can withholiday paper and stickers. The cost of this project is less than $10 and estimated preperation time istwo hours. Personalize a Christmas ornament for a friend or family member by doing it yourself. Simplybuy a plain, glass Christmas ball for 99 cents at Michaels â€” clear, frosted or colored of the ands Oeart will work â€” a gold or silver paint pin, about $3, and ultra-fine glitter, about $2. Write a personalmessage on the ball or draw an abstract design with the paint pen. While the paint is still wet, sprinkleultra-fine glitter over it and shake away excess. If using a clear or frosted ball, try filling it with tinsel.Estimated time for this project is less than one hour. Here is another simple gift idea that is inexpensive. While grocery shopping, pick up two jars of your favorite jam or jelly. Cut out a square of Christmasfabric to put over the lid of the jar and tie it on with some twine or ribbon. Next comes the part thatmakes this gift a little more unique. In a little plastic bag, put enough biscuit mix to make a singlebatch and tie it to the jar of jam with the recipe for biscuits. For a more personal touch to this gift, makeyour own jam or jelly. If looking for a gift for a fellow Western classmate, here is an idea. Try covering amemory book with a Western T-shirt. Materials you will need include a Western T-shirt, glue gun, gluesticks, thin cotton batting and a memory book. Cover the book as you would cover any other book withpaper and use the hot glue gun to secure. Mod Podge is also fun to work with. It's tacky glue that dries with a nice smooth finish. Mod Podge is perfect for making collages â€” no more peelingpictures or fading colors, just a smooth, p r o f e s s i o n a l - once you gets started you will be ModPodging everything, Curdy said. A small bottle of Mod Podge sells for $2.69 at Michaels and will coveran area of several square feet. For an even smoother finish, use a sealer. It comes in a spray can andsells for about $5. To put that finishing touch on that homemade gift, here are some packaging ideas. Take a sheet of news print, large enough to wrap your present in, and sponge-paint stars and Christmas trees to make creative wrapping paper. Another idea is to paint and decorate a cardboard box withacrylic paint, stamps, stencils and stickers. Plain cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes are be foundat Michaels. Prices range from $1 to $8 depending on the size and style. Acrylic paints are 59 cents per tube, and an optional sealer is $4.29. The most important thing to remember when brainstormingcreative gift ideas is to really know the individual for whom you are making the gift.flHBtfBHMHHH^^p^can 8^^P^mHIMiHflllHHHibe used on l l l l S l B i B l i B l l B l l l B B I I B almost anysur- I ^ B ^ B ^ B I B i l l H I l l l l l l i l f a c e â€” mirrors, | ^ ^ H ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l H H l H H R p i c t u r e frames,B l I I B l l i i i i i i ^ ^ ^ B K B I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B B ^ B boxes and even ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ furnitureâ€” with â€¢ | | i | i | ^ ^ ^ i K ^ ^ P ^ ^ ^ J ^ ^ J ^ p whatever the ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B heartdesires, P ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ s u c h as pictures ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ S offriends and ^ S l ^ ^ ^ M H H H H I H ^ f f i H I family, cut-out H B l i ^ B B ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B picturesfrom last . ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ f t year's Anne I p l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B G e d d e s calendar, I J l i l i B B B B i i B i l ^ ^ l ^ p j B H B l magazine clip- I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ pings, stickers, ^KK^^^^M^^^^^^^^S^^^O^IQ^YQS or dried ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ m ^ ^ ^ f H ^ ^ ^ flowers.f^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mod Podge is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^M easy to work with ff^Si^M^^^^^S^^SM^^^^^^^S.and a lot of fun; Front/Jesse Kinsman Easy-to-make crafts are an inexpensive alternative to trendy,mall-bought presents. A triumph for By Scott LaMont The Western Front After the success ofDreamworks' computer-animated film, "Antz," and with anticipation building for its next animated feature,"The Prince of Egypt," Walt Disney Studios has something new to worry about â€” competition. ^1Luckily for the mouse house, Disney has Pixar Animation Studios as its secret weapon againstSpielberg-fueled Dreamworks. This comes in the form of "A Bug's Life," Pixar and Disney's latestcomputer-animated feature since the highly impressive "Toy Story" in 1995. "A Bug's Life" is truly a q-â€”. i. ,-- sight to behold.. ^"'^taf^ti T h i s T^'O^" fihr1 'takes computer animation to a new level in richly creating the world seen from the eyes of its smaj^ est inhabitants â€” the bugs. The story follows acolony of ants, feverishly spending every minute of the day collecting seeds and fruits for grasshoppers.The grasshoppers, it seems, have convinced this colony of ants that they were put on Earth for the solepurpose of serving the grasshoppers, a way of life that one ant wishes to challenge. His name is Flik(voiced by Dave Foley, "NewsRadio," " K i i | in the Hall"), a clumsy inventor who would do anything toimpress his colony and the beautiful Princess Atta (voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Seinfeld").

Just make sure to stick around ring the closingcredits for one of the funniest ideas to ever ce the animated world. The story is all too common â€” boyseeks job, company says no, boy publishes book ridiculing company. "J. Crewd" by Justin Racz cameabout just that way After failing an j interview with the popular cloth- J ing catalog, Racz was inspired toparody the trendy J. Crew. The book is set to look like the J. I Crew catalog with a few absurd changes.J. Crew and its models are an easy target for Racz's \ jokes. The J. Crew catalog, J received bythousands of col- | lege students every month, is about as realistic in its imagery 1 as a soap opera. The models lounge playfully about wearing their $200 sweaters smiling, as if they know something we don't."J. Crewd" pokes fun at those models and the products they are selling. Racz admits that he too ownsand likes J. Crew clothing, but that it was ripe for parody. "I would look around my college cafeteria andsee all the beautiful people wearing the same roll-neck J. Crew sweater," Racz said. Asked why hechose J. Crew, Racz said the catalog was impossible to ignore. He said J. Crew had become almost like his best friend appearing in his mailbox faithfully every month. And, Racz said, the lifestyle J. Crewportrays is absolutely hysterical. "Everyone is fabulously blond, fabulously happy, fabulously wealthyand fabulously unemployed," Racz said. "When you read the catalog you wonder, 'Why is everyonesmiling? Why is that guy having so much fun playing darts? Why are there two girls and a guy in akitchen holding a six-foot sub?'" Racz said. Racz's "J. Crewd" gives readers a chance to laugh atthemselves and their closets full of J. Crew clothing. "J. Crewd" offers products such as the layered look,called the "nine-in-one," for $208. "Trickle down to a T or bulk to a beefcake. Four layers on, five layers off. Seven layers on, two layers off. One layer on, eight layers off. Quite frankly we could really care lesswhat you do once we get your money," the description states. fashionably Crewd Generodity By DaveShepherd The Western Front It seems these days retailers can hardly contain the urge to put up aChristmas tree before Thanksgiving, but one has sprung up in Old Fairhaven that is more than justwindow dressing. Village Books has kicked off its Fifth Annual Giving Tree, in the hope of providing themagic of books to more than 600 underprivileged area children. It's a hol- â€¢ iday book drive â€” sort of a literary "Toys for Tots." Tucked just inside the front door is the largest of Village Books' three GivingTrees. The second is downstairs, and a third is located in the community center in the old J.C. Penneybuilding downtown. A holy host of paper angels dangle from the trees' piney boughs, printed with names,ages and genders of local children. Patrons select a book they feel will be appropriate for their"angels," and Village Books knocks 20 percent off the price. Donors then get to replace the angels withstars. Six agencies provided names for the drive â€” Brigid Collins House, Lummi Tribal School, LummiHead Start, Big Brothers Sisters, Early Childhood Opportunities ^ Northwest and the Boys and GirlsClub. Village Books employee Alissa Haslam is coordinating the project for the second year in a row.This year, she added the Brigid Collins House, and she coordinates the effort to ensure donations arewrapped and delivered before Christmas. "The point is to get books into the hands of kids who â„¢wouldn't normally get them," Haslam said. She said she enjoys the connection Village Books has withBellingham. "We've been here 18 years and have a lot of community support." Village Books ownersChuck and Dee Robinson said in Under the Front/Jesse Kinsman Alex, 9, and Megan, 5, help motherLaurie Mullurky choose names from Village Books'giving tree. Also available is the ever-popular "pocketpanty," just in case your jeans don't offer enough pocket room. Racz explained his I inspiration for the"pocket panty" came from his I grandmother because she was always stuffing things in her bra. Hefigured she needed a pocket. "Li'l Pimper, Slim Daddy, and Mommy too . . ." f showcases clothinguseful in street professions. f For example, "The Gap Skirt. Are those your cheeks or are you just happyto see me? Underwashed for no comfort whatsoever. This baby's tight." And the "Gogogo Boots. Theseboots are made for hooking." On the other end of the spectrum is the J. Christian page. Choir robes areoffered for all the seven sins. The J. Crewd Bible is also offered. "Hallelujah, the Good Book is back!Sassier than bold. French underwear support for a very chesty bible. (Glows in the dark)." The bible is asteal for just $42. The book of Mormon is just $38. Clothing and bible's aren't the only options in "J.Crewd," however. You have your choice of children in the J. Cloning section. They even have a sale page."The Jenny" is only $6,000. She is "street smart, not book smart." "The Suzy" is a bit pricier at $17,500.She is: "forward, likes Stevie." And, you have to love "The Scotty" for $24,050. He's described as:"Machiavellian." The book offers a good laugh, especially for those who are prone to waiting patiently fortheir J. Crew catalogs to arrive. The photography is great and looks a lot like the real J. Crew. The coveris graced with a man sitting on his throne â€” bathroom, not royalty â€” J. Crewd is spelled proudly in the same font as the catalog. But, beyond the first read, "J. Crewd" loses its value. The price is a bit steepat $11.95 for a few minutes of fun. For those who can spare the money, J. Crewd makes interestingcoffee-table material. It is also an entertaining view at the retail industry in America. Most collegestudents, however, would be better off saving their pennies for the Christmas edition of J. Crew, inmailboxes sometime now. Â±ree their monthly newsletter, "The Chuckanut Reader," that the giving treeis fast becoming a holiday tradition for some generous families. "We know one family who comes inevery year with their college-age kids," the Robinsons said. The idea for the giving tree came fromindependent bookstore owner Mary Gay Chipley in Blytheville, Ark. Chipley, a friend of the Robinsons,brought in Workday Publishing to donate all the angels and stars used on the trees. As the program hasgrown nationally, HarperCollins and Bantam Doubleday have joined in the holiday spirit. The season of giving extends past December for Village Books. In October, it sponsored a sleep-over in the store tobenefit the Whatcom Literary Council, raising more than $300. Earlier this year, the store won a window-display contest and received a free shipment of "Black and Blue," a book about domestic violence byAnna Quindlan. It sold the books at 20 percent off, giving all of the proceeds to Bellingham's WomenCare shelter. The store even sends a team to "Bowl for Kid's Sake." In an age where massive bookchains such as B. Dalton Booksellers and Barnes and Noble are siphoning off customers from localindependents, Village Books continues tO thrive, most likely due to special programs and communityevents like these. The Giving Tree program will run through Christmas. With 600 donations to deal with,Haslam is looking for volunteers to help wrap some of the presents at 7 p.m. Dec. 14 and Dec. 21 in thestore. The Colophon Cafe downstairs will provide free refreshments to keep volunteers happy. VillageBooks is located at 1210 Eleventh St., in the center of Old Fairhaven.

Western took the win, 107- 89. JaredStevenson finished with 25 points and 10 assists, while Mike Sims knocked in 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Cougar's guard Toby Merchant and Western's Jared Stevenson engaged in a game ofone-upmanship. Merchant and Jared Stevenson exchanged three-pointers and long-range jumpers, both finishing the first half with 16 points. With time winding down, Jared Stevenson drilled a three-not stopSims, Jared Stevenson or Jacob Stevenson. "They came out pretty small, so that played to ouradvantage," said. Shelton Diggs, a freshman guard from Long Beach, Calif., contributed offensively insubstitution. Diggs, finished with 11 points, three assists, a blocked shot and a steal. "It was fun towatch those young guys get time, so they'll feel they're more part of the team," Sims said. Westernfinished the game shooting 57.6 percent from the field, while Colorado Christian shot 42 percent. Afterthe game, Jared Stevenson and Sims were named to the all-tournament team. "Jared Stevensonstruggled a little bit in the first two games this season, but he really broke out tonight and played at thelevel we've come to expect from him," Jackson said. "Mike Sims is another one Vikings win, 72-51 thathad a great effort Front/Jesse Kinsman tonight," Jackson added.

"They had one big guy, buthe didn't play very much. They tried to go small to out-quick us, but that didn't work." Jared Stevensonled Western with 25 points, and Merchant led all scorers with 32. "They just weren't guarding metonight," Viking Jared Stevenson tently. He had a real solid effort." Back at .500, Western nowanticipates some important conference games. "We're going to need some great support from ourstudent body," Jackson said. "We need to get some people out to watch us. This is going to be a greatteam." By JJ Jensen The Western Front The thrill of victory is beginning to become second nature for Western's women's basketball team, as it improved 4-0 with a 72-51 victory over San Francisco StateUniversity Nov. 27 in Carver Gym. Led by junior guard Amanda Olsen, Western jumped to an early 16-7lead, but the defense unraveled. With 5:24 left in the half, SFSU climbed back into the game and tied the score at 23. Playing a see-saw match-up the rest of the half, Western went into the locker room,leading by only three points, 32-29. "At halftime, we looked at the score and at the game and realized we were just playing with them and not putting them away," sophomore guard Briana Abrahamsen said. Eight minutes into the second half and still only leading by three, Western buried SFSU. During thenext 12 minutes, Western's offense caught fire and outscored SFSU 28-10. Playing well offensively,Western's defense also shut down SFSU, as it held the Gators to just 38.9 percent field-goal shooting.SFSU also turned the ball over 28 times to the Vikings. Junior forward Sara Nichols led Western's run,scoring the first two baskets and assisting on three more. Nichols finished the game with game-highs oiseven rebounds and seven assists. "The people that came off the bench in the second half didn't let theintensity drop," Abrahamsen said. "It's great to know we can stick anybody in there and they'll give us aspark." When the dust finally settled, Western came away with a 21- point win. Olsen finished with agame-high 17 points and five steals, while sharing the offensive wealth by dishing out four assists.Junior center Celeste Hill continued her season-long inside dominance, scoring 14 points, andAbrahamsen lit up the outside, scoring 15 points. Abrahamsen hit on four of-six field goal attempts,made 5-bf-6 free throws and knocked down two of her three three-point attempts. Heading into PacificWest Conference play undefeated, Western will entertain Humboldt State University at 7 p.m. tonight, in Carver Gym. Entering conference play, the team's enthusiasm is high. "We're excited to get intoconference play," Abrahamsen said. "We're a really well-rounded team, and we have a positiveoutlook," Abrahamsen said. "It's awesome to know if you give the ball off on offense, someone else is going to make something happen." MYKONOS A variety of Greek appetizers and entrees in a casualfine dining atmosphere.

The combination of youth, inexperience and tough competition proved to be too much forWestern to overcome. On Nov. 21, Western was routed in its first two games by the University ofWashington, 19-3, and the University of California State Maritime, 15-1. Saturday's third game versusUniversity of Victoria showcased a back-and-forth offensive affair. However, Western was unable to holdoff the University of Victoria, eventually losing 11-7. Western showed some resiliency on Nov. 22 bytaking care of Highline Community College, 9- 7, to earn seventh place in the tournament. "We startedout slowly, but we ended really good," Head Coach Trevor Petrie said. Although Petrie said the team did some things well, he still sees room for plenty of improvement, citing youth as one of the main reasonswhy. "The team needs to improve its anticipation of the opponent's' fast break," veteran Tate Masonsaid. He later added, "We could have been in a little better shape." Although Western clearly struggled,many positives were taken away from the weekend of competition. "We got a lot of needed experience playing some difficult schools â€” we really improved throughout the four games of the tournament,"Mason said.

Cardio kickboxing, an exercise that involves continuous aerobic activity with boxing andself-defense moves, is a fun new way to reach an ultimate level of physical fitness. Kick-it, a cardiokickboxing and wellness studio, offers kickboxing classes that suit the intensity and skill level of anyperson. "Kick-it â€” it's just kind of how the classes are," owner Susan Thomas said about the name ofher studio. "I have classes formatted so you maximize your caloric burning." The classes incorporateshadow boxing, drills of punching and kicking, bag work, as well as stretching and strengtheningexercises that focus on endurance and interval training, she said. Periodic interval work duringendurance training increases the body's metabolism to help a person lose weight in a natural, healthyway, she explained. Thomas said she graduated from Western with a degree in exercise science and acertification in gerontology, the study of aging. The young entrepreneur is also a personal trainer and has a black belt in karate from Double Action Training Academy in Ferndale. Thomas said she won a goldmedal in the self-defense division at the Jujitsu World Championships in British Columbia last month."Karate gives me self confidence," Thomas said. Teaching physical fitness is not Thomas' only goal;instructing her students in self-defense is important too, she said. "I wasn't just a happy frosh playingFrisbee out on the lawn and was looking for an alternative way to stay fit." Elke Govertsen Westernstudent "Cardio kickboxing doesn't mean we're out there dancing around. Contact is light, but we alsowant to have fun," Thomas said. If you meet an attacker on a dark street corner, let rip a lethal jab-cross-hook punch combination that Thomas teaches, and not even Rocky will know what hit him.Besides learning offensive moves, Thomas equally emphasizes defensive blocks. Thomas' studentslearn to catch a jab, parry a cross and slip a hook. The defensive counters resemble the circular "wax-on, wax-off" arm motions the character Daniel learned in the movie "The Karate Kid." "It's a realconfidence booster knowing you have something more than just your key when you're walking around atnight by yourself," said Western student Kate Fromm. "It's a good way to get your aggressions outtoo." Fromm, along with many other Western students, regularly attends classes at Kick-it. "I learnedabout (Kick-it) at the info fair," Western student Elke Govertsen said. "I wasn't a happy frosh playingFrisbee out on the lawn and was looking for an alternative way to stay fit." Govertsen and Fromm said they enjoy the intensity of cardio kickboxing. Kick-it is located at 1209 Cornwall Ave. The wellnessstudio also offers personal training, senior fitness classes, Pilate-based conditioning and massagetherapy, which are instructed by the talented and well-certified staff at Kick-it. "Exercise is veryimportant. It affects my mood, and I feel very strongly it should be a part of everyone's life," Thomas said. Viking Basketball Action On Tap!!!

Poor shooting percentage from the field and the free-throw linehampered the Vikings all night long. They shot an uncharacteristic 52 percent (13 of 25) from the lineand 39.7 percent (25 of 63) from the field. St. Martin's shot a lowly 38 percent from the floor, but theyattempted 12 more free-throws than the Vikings, connecting on 26 of those. "We put them in the one-in-one situation with more than 11 minutes to play. Fouling has been a problem all season for us,"Jackson said. "Whenever you have poor shooting from both the field and the line, you aren't going to winvery many ball games," Head Coach Brad Jackson said. The Vikings leading scorer, Mike Sims, wasshut down, shooting 2 for 13 from the field. "Mike just missed shots that he normally makes. Thewhole team struggled with that," Jackson said. "Shooting percentage is very important. We shot 9 of16 from the free-throw line, and we lost by four," he said. It's particularly important when we also don'tshoot well from the floor." Sims and point guard Jacob Stevenson combined to shoot 9 of 11 from theline, the rest of the team was 4 of 14. Left: Head Coach Brad Jackson calls out to the team.

Giesa scored six points and continued to rebound well, collecting seven boards. TheVikings out-rebounded St. Martin's by 15 (45 to 30). "We rebounded well tonight, but it seemed like they(St. Martin's) got the rebounds when they needed it," Giesa said. Reserve guard Shelton Diggscontributed 10 points and six rebounds in his 20 minutes of play. Ryan Kettman added 11 points aridsix rebounds for the Vikings. St. Martin's was led in scoring by guard Eddie Ortiz, who scored 21 points. Ortiz connected on five three-point shots, two in the final few minutes of play. Forward Gerrit Eadesadded 16 points and six rebounds. The Vikings pulled to within two points but were then victimized by acrucial flagrant- foul call with 24 seconds remaining in the game, at which point Jackson exclaimed,"You're going to end the game on a call like that!" The Vikings will look to rebound against SeattlePacific University at 7 p.m. this Saturday at Carver Gym. "We are just going to concentrate on getting ittogether for our game against SPU. They are about as good a team as we are going to see this yearâ€”it's a really big game," Jackson said. Left: Sophomore guard Ryan Kettman shoots from the three-point line.

Imagine a president whose door is open to student organizations, Associated Students representativesand even members of the student press. Imagine a president who attends campus events, a presidentwho listens to criticism and learns from that insight. Picture a president to whom the campus can turnfor leadership, a person who inspires students and educators to strive for their best, a person like JohnStanford, who encourages kids, teachers, parents and community members. Too bad Western doesnot have such a president. A university president at any institution, public or private, has manyobligations. The Washington State Legislature and the citizens of Washington state hold Karen Morseaccountable for every aspect of Western, a daunting responsibility. The demands of such a position merit some sympathy for the president's busy schedule. Too often, however, spending time with students,faculty and staff is a last priority for Morse. Obtaining an interview with Morse for The Western Front isnearly impossible. Having Morse show up at a campus event is a rare occurrence. Morse usually refersinquiries to her vice presidents or to Western's Public Information Office. While the vice presidents' andthe PIO's efforts are appreciated, students do not expect the vision for Western to come from Western'spublic relations office or via the vice presidents. Students want to, and should demand, to hear directlyfrom Morse. Morse's position as president of the university should not be an excuse for her remoteness.In fact, many other university presidents are fond of discussing issues with students, including membersof the student press. Open up almost any issue of the University of Washington's student newspaper,The Daily, and UW President Richard McCormick's comments abound. Notably, on Oct. 7, McCormick spoke to an audience of students, faculty and staff about the challenges facing the university and howto best tackle them. He outlined his main goals for UW and one of the most important solutions forsolving problems at the university: more local and global community involvement. Imagine the results ifMorse chose to make such a corrurutment. Reaching out to the local community, beyond seekingdonations to the university, could have a fantastic impact and could go a long way toward smoothing thepath for Western's expansion. A.S. President Sarah Steves has done more than imagine the value ofreaching out to students. Her innovative "Talk With the President" discussions with students in RedSquare demonstrate the kind of commitment to communicate with students Western's president islacking. Western deserves a leader who cares about the campus and the community anddemonstrates those concerns often by encouraging a dialogue with students, faculty and staff.Imagine.

Quality of education down University churning out trainedworkers, not thinkers Heidi Thomsen COMMENTARY If colleges focus solely on class instructioninstead of learning expansion, universities will become nothing more than clearinghouses, churningout student cogs made to fit into a well-oiled societal machine. Students who are trying to get ahead inthe job market absorb too much information at once, declaring more than one major, making classeseven harder to get into than, they are now. Just imagine: all of the cursing and button pushing that madeyour voice and trigger finger sore this past couple of horrific weeks known as winter registrationmight be even worse next time. The quality of instruction in classes will be caught in a continuousdownward spiral. Class instruction will become mass produced, turning into clearing houses preparingstudents for jobs high in demand. Instead of placing emphasis only on job-related aspects of college,students need to understand that every college experience is important. From political protests and late-night cram sessions to dealing with bitter breakups, students leave college knowing how to deal withsituations outside of their academic major(s). Based on the results of a survey conducted by theNational Association of Colleges and Employers, communication skills rank first on the list of 10 per- "...students need to understand that every college experience is important." sonal characteristicsemployers seek in job candidates. Rand Jack, a Fairhaven College professor, agrees. "The morediverse skills a student learns at college, the better that student will be at communicating with others ...and addressing pressing issues in a constructive way." NACE also asked employers what they look forin job candidates. They responded, "(We) want to hire candidates who are go-getters, who candemonstrate that they are willing to take the initiative at work and who are eager to continue learningbeyond the college classroom." More work means even more stress. For example, a student might betold an environmental science degree is not enough: a graduate needs to be able to speak Russian aswell as know how to program Web sites. Dollar signs are popping up everywhere. The collegeexperience must teach students to use their learning abilities to the greatest possible extent both in and out of class. Experiences open up new and undiscovered possibilities, such as finding a cure forAIDS, designing a mass-transit system or doing the politically impossible in a country ravaged bytyranny. Employers want level-headed individuals who can think quickly on their feet, not applicants whoknow how to solve problems based only on what they read in college textbooks. College must be a place where the first priority is to show students that the world is full of information just waiting to be exploredby an inquiring mind. letters Feminist fanaticism bigotry toward men To the editor: I recently saw themovie "Elizabeth" â€” well done, although it left out her love affairs with Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir FrancisDrake... and the war with Spain. I was a bit piqued over what appeared to be gratuitous sex between the villain and his wife or mistress. Then it dawned on me â€” this movie is a feminist attack on men thatmen cannot be trusted and are out to dominate, use or even murder women (like the Scottish / FrenchQueen). What the feminists in their fanaticism are ignoring is that every human being, gay or straight,owes their very life to men and women loving each other. The feminist goals of female domination anduniversal homosexuality are illegitimate; the first would lead to a right-wing reaction, the second wouldend the human race. Bigotry and discrimination against men is no more legitimate than such againstwomen; if you put out hate into the universe you will get back hate (karma). Equality and assertivenessare the answers for women and for men; anything else leads to abuse and resentment. Women and men are not separate species but are equally human (hairless apes with the souls of God).

Vol. VIII. January, 1909 No. 4 The Messenger staff wish you, one and all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have you seen the "Messenger Clothesline" in the Library? Read the Exchanges. If you want to read something good, turn to Mr. Ro-mine's article on Bermuda. The following motto comes to us from Dr. Padel-ford of the University: "To make my students sane, vigorous, and sensitive, through a balanced training of the intellectual, the ethical, and the aesthetic life; always ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE MESSENGER working with reference to the individual, that he may be wise, humane, and gentle; such is my ideal as an English teacher." The spirit and thought is beautiful and helpful and may become a part of our creed no matter what line of teaching we may take up. From Mr. G. Allison, of Tacoma, our former Editor.— "Mr. Foster writes me that the school is in a prosperous condition, and judging from the Messenger it seems to be true. It does me good to see the students taking an active interest in the life of the school. After all, I sometimes think that it is the school atmosphere which determines to a greater extent than we think the real benefits. I know that my work in the various activities of the school gave me as much working power as my class work gave." What we need in our student body is co-operation, a means by which all things survive or develop—a means to an ultimate end. For such co-operation we must have boosters, not knockers; workers, not idlers; strong fighters, and not quitters. Every member must be as a cog in a wheel, always ready for duty, and never ready to shirk. Be at assembly societies, at the lecture course numbers, and on athletic field, to show your loyalty and appreciation of character building ideals. If we have lost by a decision or by score, don't think we have lost all, for to those who know how to take defeat it is oftentimes the noble victory. Is not this our standard and aim? Do we not feel the necessity of working together ? Let us make our life the school's. Two more things would put us on college standings in the athletic sphere—a tennis court and a baseball diamond. Tennis playing especially is a most scientific and beneficial sport for both men and women. Some mention has been made of a court, but nothing definite as yet has been done, so lets get together and work for this court. We want a good one, one that can be used rain or shine. Get to work on the matter, students—boost, boost, boost, is our motto. It is only when an institution is brought to a realization of its power that it is useful. The Bellingham Normal is no exception to this rule, as is evident by the different things which it has successfully promoted. There is still ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 3 ---------- THE MESSENGER 3 one activity, common to college life, which might now successfully be taken up—that of an orchestra. Of the material right in our midst we could form an orchestra such as any school in the land might well be proud of; every day some one is found who can play well on the violin, guitar, cornet, trombone, or snaredrum. All that is necessary is to assemble these persons together three or four times a week for an hour's practice. Not only would this talent be developed, but it would be quite an addition to our assembly by giving it a smack of culture that can be procured in no other way. Fifteen or twenty years hence when this institution has climbed in the scale of fame and efficiency equal to that of any other school in our land, who would not be PROUD to say, " I assisted in organizing the orchestra in the Bellingham Normal." STATEMENT OP ASSOCIATION FINANCES. The finances of the Students' Association are far better than was anticipated. The stock of the supply room purchased to date amounts to $1,297.46 cost, and in spite of the low prices charged for it, the earnings already amount to $187.36 over and above all expenses. The total expense of operating the supply room thus far has been only $75.53. The following statement is taken from the books of the supply room, December 23, 1908: Assets.

As a result of this and the advantageous cnotract of this year, the Messenger is much larger and more attractive than last year's, and yields a monthly profit of about $25. The general fund is also in splendid condition. There was $306.65 from student fees in this fund at the opening of school. Football used, above receipts, about $150.80, and expenditure more than justified by results. About $50.00 was spent in paying last year's bills and incidental expenses, leaving but $100.00. But the football game Thanksgiving day, which made up $44, and the Faculty- Normal Boys' game, have left a total in the general fund of $141.66. The receipts from entertainments and basketball games will undoubtedly restore this fund to the condition it was in at the beginning of the season. JAMES O'SULLrVAN. FUTURITY. Closed, is the silent tomb of the past; The stone can ne'er be rolled away. Open, is the gate of the future By the fair New Year today. Ah! well for us, as the ages roll, That there is a Hand, strong, sublime, That marks the path to our destiny In our onward course, through space and time. Then though the world is tired and old Let the heart be fresh and young And bright, with glorious hopes, For the year that is just begun. —Goldie Wreston Brown. LITERARY. A Seven Weeks' Sojourn In Bermuda. "Father Neptune one day to Dame Freedom did say, 'If ever I live upon dry land, The spot I should hit on would be little Britain.' Says Freedom, 'Why, that's my own island: O. 'tis a snug little island, A right little, tight little island! ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER 5 Search the world round, none can be found So happy as this little island.' " The above sentiment expressing the poet's approval of Britain might apply with equal propriety to Bermuda. It would hardly be possible in the compass of this article to give more than an impressionistic sketch of Bermuda. While having the latitude of middle George and Alabama, the beautiful little archipelago has a decided sub-tropical climate, and its vegetation in many forms is tropical. To one who has not been privileged before to see a southern clime with all that it connotes in story and in song, in the grace and hospitality of its people, and in the color and beauty of its landscape, Bermuda holds a peculiar enchantment. The Bermudians have a happy way of saying to the sojourner that when the great Architect created the world, he built the last and therefore the best part of it in the form and reality of Bermuda. And those leisurely and accomplished people seem to live as if they believe their happy statement. Crime is infrequent, the poverty that bites is only occasional, and the maddening strife for commercial and social supremacy for the selfish eminence of the individual is not worth the game. Bermuda has the contour of an open gauntlet in profile with the thumb view clearly in definition. Its area is 191/! square miles. The nearest land is Cape Hatteras. From New York harbor to her only dock for deep-draught liners is 704 nautical miles or 44 hours' sail, and after many varying graduate to post-graduate degrees in gastronomic feats, the sight of Bermuda to the voyager is like a medicine bearing a picture of paradise upon its label. The population of Bermuda is roughly 18,000 people, two-thirds of whom are negroes. "When the New York steamer slows up to Hamilton dock the passengers aboard note Sambos and Dinahs with visages gaping as if employed for dentifrice establishments lined up galore to welcome the good ship's safe arrival. Though the negro outnumbers the white man two to one, and though there is no discriminatory statute against, he understands that Bermuda is a white man's government. The two races get along on terms of harmony, and Sambo is rapidly substi-tuting- the Gillette safety for the old-fashioned long blade razor. The Bermndans are good politicians in the best sense of the term. They are quite alert as to the political affairs of their countrv, and yet there is little or no align- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 TEE MESSENGER ment into parties. A year ago, however, the little island empire was shaken from her rocky ribs to her ridge pole by a question of mighty import. There was automobile and non-automobile segregation of Bermuda's law givers. The NON won by a bare majority vote of one, and as a result no skunk-wagons profane the beautiful, but narrow serpentine roadways of Bermuda. Bermuda is really a collective name, for there are said to be 365 islands—one for each day in the year—according to the last census. The little group is of interest to the student of physical geography. It is low-lying fringed by reefs that bode ill to the innocent mariner. If the whole area to the margin of the reefs should be elevated some 200 or 300 feet, there would be a little continent approximately 230 instead of the present 1 9 ^ square miles of extent. The geology is all limestone of aeolian accumulation. This rock enters into all the structures of Bermuda residences, shops, public edifices, fortifications, etc., and the effect is quite pleasing to the eye. The Bermuda homes are creations of simple, yet chaste, elegant designs. There is no running fresh water of any kind in Bermuda. The water for drinking, cooking and cleansing is rain water. By means of carefully whitewashed expanses of surface lime rock serving as a catch-all the rain is led to cisterns and reservoirs not always too carefully guarded for he. the most deceptive of all singers, monsieur mos-auito propagates prolfically in these artificial wells, and by night he shrills a pesty lay into the ear of him who explores for that "sweet sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care." The vegetal and animal life of Bermuda teems in luxuriance. The oleander is in flower from early spring to December. The royal poinciana, the poinsettia, the tamarind, palmetto, palms of many species, huge century plants, the plantation, the banana and many others are in striking evidence on every hand. And these generic relations, the very antitheses in aroma, the lily and the onion, the latter hygienic talisman of Sambo, should not be omitted from the floral lists. And as if to give a solace akin to northern climes, the Bermuda cedar clothes the low Iviug hills with nature's ever restful green. The animal life, barring some beautifully plumaeed birds, is restricted to the reefs which, abounding with corals that rival the beauty of the rose, and waving sea-fans and sea-plumes, look like veritable sea-gardens. So rich and beautifully blended are the colors of the fishes ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 that it would seem as if they have done naught else in life but to make millinery of the rainbow. The hues of the water and the tints of the sky are the artist's Eden. They charm by this soft, gentle blending, and variety of effect, yet in gergoousness and striking grandeur the cloud effects at sunset do not equal those of Puget Sound. A. P. R. ABOUT OURSELVES. A recently received list of questions prepared by the United States Commissioner of Education, Mr. E. E. Brown, was submitted to me and presented to the school at the Monday morning assembly, December 7, as the students present on that occasion will recall. A total of 283 usable reports was obtained and it has occurred to me that the readers of The Messenger may be interested in reading the summaries. The questions covered two subjects, age and teaching experience, and the results are as follows: Fifteen years of age or less, 5; sixteen years, 18; seventeen years, 30; eighteen years, 42; nineteen yars, 50; twenty years, 29; twenty-one years, 28; twenty-two years, 24; twenty-three years, 13; twenty-four years, 7; twenty-five years or above, 27.

Christmas day at the Mine had always passed just like any other day until one eventful time of which I shall tell you. The Nighthawk is in an isolated region far back in the Cascade mountains, where the winters are long and severe. The snow is often six or eight feet deep and communication with the outside world almost impossible. Clustered about the mine are a few cabins, some bunk houses, a store and a saloon. The rough miners lived base, degraded lives. After the day's work was ended they would congregate in Big Dan's saloon and make the night hideous with drinking, gambling, and fighting. But few women lived in the camp. Only one family, the O'Neals, ever observed Christmas. They had a pretty little erirl with blue eyes and golden hair, and for her each year they had had a tree. The summer preceding the winter of which I write, Mr. O'Neal had been killed by an explosion in the mine, and ever since Mrs. O'Neal had been struggling bravely to keep the wolf away from their door, but Christmas eve found them face to face with starvation. She explained to little Donna that they had nothing more to eat, and no wood, so she must not expect a Christmas tree that year. The dull aching of her heart was almost unbearable when she saw the look of disappointment on Donna's face. Presently the child looked up and said, "Mamma, if I ask Jesus won't he give us something to eat and some wood to make a fire? I am going to ask him anyway," and she ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 9 slipped down from her mother's lap, where she was sitting, and went out of the door and into the empty woodshed. "Scotty" McFarland, one of the miners, was slouching past the 0 'Neal cabin, and thinking he heard some one speak, paused to listen. A child's voice lifted in prayer; she asked in childish faith for the necessities of life, and then she added, "Dear Jesus, I do want a little Christmas tree." The softer nature of the man was awakened and blinding tears sprung to his eyes. He hurried on to the gathering at Big Dan's and told them what he had just heard. "Fellows," he said, " I ain't goin' much on these here Christmas doin's, and I aint any betterin' the rest o' ye, but that kid's gotter hev a tree—pass round the hat." The miners responded with their usual generosity and one five-dollar piece after another went into the hat to keep company with those already there. The next morning little Donna went to the door. What could it mean, scattered all about was wood, sacks of flour and innumerable parcels and in their midst stood a little fir tree decorated with ribbons and bright paper. Unspeakable, unutterable joy filled the hearts of mother and child, but this was not all, a little sack hanging on the tree was found to contain gold coins. The child's prayer had indeed been answered—Christmas had come to the Nighthawk Mine. 0. A. A Second-Year Student. JIMMIE'S CHRISTMAS. It was Christmas eve—an ideal Christmas eve! Snow was falling softly, flecking the pedestrians with its large white flakes. The street lamps were but obscure stars. The hour was seven and the streets of Chicago were crowded with happy people on their way to the churches, which, with very few exceptions, were brilliantly lighted for the services. Street cars were crowded and many carriages conveyed their share of the people. Everyone seemed happy and glad that it was Christmas time. No, not all; for wandering along the street, scarcely noticed by the passersby, was a little boy. His clothes were ragged and worn, his face thin and haggard, and his body shivered from the cold. By his side trotted an ugly little dog and from time to time the little master would ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 !TBfi kMSSEtiGER stoop and caress him and whisper something in his ear. As they passed a brilliantly lighted church Jimmie's face wore a wistful look. How he wishes he could go to a Christmas tree! Last year mother had dressed him in his Sunday clothes and had taken him to the services. But since then mother had gone to heaven and his father had taken Jimmie 's Sunday clothes and sold them to get money for rum. Now he scarcely had enough clothes to keep him warm and many times he had gone all day without anything to eat. As he thought of his mother he wished he could spend Christmas with her. On he wandered, not knowing where to go but compelled to walk to keep warm. At last a kind-faced man stopped him. "Don't you want to go to a Christmas tree, little boy?" he asked. "Yes, sir," answered Jimmie; "but I can't, 'cause mamma's dead and I hain't got no good clothes." "There's a place four blocks from here where they want all little boys like you to come. "Yes," he added in answer to the questioning look, "those clothes will be all right. They want you to come." With a new hope Jimmie hurried on. What would there be for him? And would there be anything for Trip? Visions of beautiful Christmas trees crossed his mind. They had reached the corner now and Jimmie could see the lights of the hall shining through the snow. Soon he would see the tree. As they crossed the street a carriage dashed around the corner and Jimmie saw that Trip was directly in its path. With a cry he sprang forward and caught up the dog. But he was too late. The horses struck him and he was thrown down beneath their feet. Tender hands carried the unconscious boy within the mission. A doctor was summoned, but to no avail. As consciousness returned he opened his eyes and looked inquiringly at the faces above him. The unhurt dog was brought to the pallet and Jimmie, satisfied that his pet was safe, shut his eyes and became very still. There was a silence in the room, for Jimmie had gone to spend Christmas with his mother. HABRY F. HEATH. Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions characterize the great.—Goldoni. i ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 11 ---------- !THJE MESSENGM ii CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS. It was in the land of shades where the spirits of good trees are assembled. "And what did you do on earth?" asked the Great Voice of the stately fir. " I builded homes, and the great buildings of cities; I furnished masts for ships that sail the seas, and I made warm fires for man's comfort," said the fir. " I , too," said the cedar, standing close to the fir, "protected man and helped him civilize the world. I kindled his fires." " I , too," said the pine, and the oak, and the maple, and the birch; "we all helped him build the 'house beautiful.' " "And what was your work?" said the Voice, as the beautiful fruit trees brought their offering. "We furnished man food," said the orange, the apple, the walnut, and the chestnut. Thus, in answer to the Great Voice, all the trees of the earth—the beech and the birch, the pine and the palm, the cotton wood and the banyan, from the north and the south told of the deeds they had done on earth. At last came the little Christmas tree, all decked in silky tinzel and tinkle and pretense. "And why are you here?" said the Great Voice, gravely. " I do not know," said the little tree lightly. "There is nothing that I do but be happy." After a pause, "But when they look on me all the little children laugh and clap their hands, and grown people nod their heads and smile through happy tears. Sour faces grow loving and sorrowful ones, happy." Then spoke the Great Voice, and it was heard through all the forests of shade-land: " I t is well to warm man's body, but it is better to warm his heart. It is a good deed to give man food; but it is blessed, indeed, to waken the soul." I. R. B. I can think of no seasonable sentiment more inspiring than the hopeful prayer that the world of nations and of individuals may realize more and more fully than ever the spirit of that first Christmas: Peace through good will.

In thus giving a part of her very self she symbolizes the real spirit of Christmas giving. Truly at this season "the gift without the giver j s bare—any other gift is mere merchandise. ROSE BAXTER.

When the whistle blew announcing time at the close of the football game on Thanksgiving day, the boys of the Normal began the practice of basketball. Contrary to custom they are doing their chief practice in the evenings, and every evening you can hear the whistle in the Gymnasium. The Normal is putting out three basketball teams. On Friday, December 18th, the second team played at Everson against the first team there, the score being 12 to 9 in favor of the Normal. The second team promises to take care of the teams of the small towns of this and Skagit County. The first team, composed of Umbarger and Becker, guards; Davenport, center, and Goodell and Petheran, forewards, promises to be a strong quintet. Games have been scheduled with Lincoln High, Mt. Vernon, Sedro- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 13 ---------- THE MESSENGER i3 Woolley, Ellensburg Normal and Anacortes High. The schedule is by no means complete and a tour away is anticipated. Let us all "boost for" the team. SOCIETY. A number of the enterprising students have organized a new society, which will be known as the Normal House of Representatives. The idea of the organization is to develop the power of debate and expression. It was thought that this unique way would present more novel features and thus insure more interest. All the business will be carried on similar to that of the National House of Representatives. If the number is sufficient there will be a representative assigned for each state. Bills will be brought in and discussed by all who gain the recognition of the speaker. The first meeting will be held in the Normal Society Hall, in evening January 8th, at which meeting Attorney Foster, of the city, who has been elected speaker, will preside. The Thespian Dramatic Club entertained the students and faculty just before the holidays with "A Christmas Chime." There will be several more pleasant programs given by this club before the close of the term. This club is developing some strong talent along dramatic lines. The Athenian Society will resume work early in the new year. This is the society with which many of the new students, who wish to do general literary work, should ally themselves. The Alkisiah Club met Friday, December 11 at 2:30 o'clock in the Society Hall. An excellent program was rendered in the presence of a large number of the students. The program opened with a song meet in which all those present joined heartily. Miss Baker presided at the piano. After several songs had been sung the subject for the aay, "Play-ground Organization," was taken up. Miss Walborg Olsen gave an excellent talk on thr- "Conventions of the Play-ground Association." Following this was a very entertaining presentation of the High- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 14 ---------- 14 THJE MESSENGM land Fling, by Misses Isabelle Williams and Lucette Mc- Kechne in illustration of one phase of play ground instruction. The next number was a remarkably well given talk by Miss Annie Nord on the subject "Play-ground Organization." As a closing number the play-ground work was farther illustrated by a series of very unique folk dances in which several of the club members took part. Miss Mat-tie Stanton furnished the music for this number. After the program the guests were excused and the members remained for a business session. The Alkisiah Club includes a number of the most earnest and ambitious students in school, and every member realizing the value of society work in school, is striving to make the club come up to a high standard. An excellent program is rendered every two weeks, to which all of the students and teachers are cordially invited. W. G. The Bible Institute—Y. W. C. A. Because of the great help derived from the Bible Institute of last year, we feel the need of another such institute this year. While as yet the plans are not complete, the time has been set and several of the speakers selected. The sessions will begin the second Thursday after vacation, January 14th, and end the following Sunday. Appropos of the work being done in the Bible classes, the thought of the Institute will center around the life of Christ. Miss Hillman, of the Tacoma City Association, will be with us in all of the meetings, and different pastors of our city will speak. Every member of the school, whether a member of the association or not, is urged to share the benefit of this Institute. STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION. True to the prophecy, merely a small fraction of the great throng of people seeking admittance at the doors of the Normal Gymnasium could be accommodated Friday evening, December 11th, when the much talked of and already famous game of basketball was to be played by the sedate and stately men of the Bellingham State Normal school faculty and the boys of the student body. ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 15 ---------- ftHE MESSENGER i5 Those fortunate enough to gain admittance were obliged to restrain their eagerness for minor things came first on the program. An exciting game of basketball was played by the Juniors and Third Years, the proud and mighty Juniors winning, but not without a decided effort, for their opponents were of such mettle as to make the skirmish for the ball a lively one. The spectators were afforded a rare (?) treat in the minstrel performance. This was composed of musically talented members of the school, and the soul-inspiring tones sent forth from the various instruments caused the nearts of the listeners to swell with pride when they realized that these performers were fellow students. The exhibition of strength by the world-famed Sullivan would have been much enjoyed had the heavy weights not rolled lightly from within reach of the great man as he was preparing to lift them. No less interesting was the black bear caught in the wolds of America by Theodore Roosevelt and trained to be as docile as a child. The creature showed almost human intelligence in some of its tricks. It was finally announced that the long-looked-for game was to take place, and amid the thundering cheers the players took their positions. As the game progressed the excitement waxed strong. Mr. Forest held the audience spellbound until they decided which basket he was playing for. Mr. Deerwester made one basket and Mr. Epley very nearly had the same good fortune befall him. Mr. O'Sullivan, as center, played with the zeal of a true athlete, and for a time even football speeches were forgotten. The extreme nervousness displayed by Mr. Bond caused him to lose several baskets, but as the game advanced he grew more calm and played with greater ease. At the close of the game, while the echoing cheers were still ringing, Miss George, in behalf of the ladies of the faculty, addressed the generous but defeated gentlemen in a speech of appreciation for the loyal support they had given the faculty colors. She presented each with a huge candy cane, which it is hoped will serve them as a support in their higher aspirations in the athletic field. A. HOLM.

To get an idea of their success one has only to see the crowd of hungry-looking students that flock around the counter; then to see the satisfied expressions when they have finished. A PATRON. ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY MORNINGS. On Friday, December 4th, Mr. J. W. Clark, who was to address the students, was unable to be present. The ever- ready Mr. 0'Sullivan filled the gap and gave a talk which might have had for its subject, "First One Thing and Then Another in Politics." In spite of the fact that Mr. 0'Sullivan had no time to prepare, his review of current events was very instructive. On December 11th Mr. Bond delivered an inspired oration on the subject of "What the Faculty Are Doing and What They Intend to Do." He informed the students in the most eloquent language that a selected faculty team had consented to appear on the gymnasium floor to show the merits and demerits of the great game of basketball. In following sentences filled with flowery words he eulogized the members of the faculty "five" and exhorted the students to attend the game. The other feature of the program was an allustrated lecture on "Persia," by Dr. Johannan, a native Persian. The lecturer kept the audience laughing most of the time, but his talk was too personal. Parts of it were overdone, and beyond having a good laugh, the students were for the most part disappointed. On Friday, December 18th, occurred the annual Normal and Training School Christmas Tree. After a short musical program Santa Claus appeared and helped distribute the presents, which were found on the beautifully decorated tree. The Normal and the Training School exchanged gifts, as they have done in previous years. H. F. H. Thursday. December 17th, the Alkisiah Club had a sale of blooming bulbs and candy. The flowers sold rapidly ; in fact, nearly all were engaged before the time set for the sale. The venture was new, but was so very sue- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 22 ---------- 22 THE MESSENGER cessful that the club members are planning to make such a sale an annual feature. A large quantity of first class candy was contributed by the members, and it found a ready sale among the hungry students during the lunch hour. The contest between the three Normals will be held at our own school this year—probably some time in the latter part of March. Students, let us make this meeting one of the great events in the history of the B. N. S. First and foremost, we must give our guests a royal welcome and a good time, and send them home with none but words of praise for our hospitality and school spirit. The Junior party, Friday night, December 4th, was a great success. Each member of the class came representing, either by actions or dress, some well known book. Mrs. Wiggs was there in all the glory of one who is conscious of having just completed an elaborate toilette— hair arranged in the latest style, freshly ironed calico dress, and new second-hand shoes (with only one hole in the sole which didn't show). Her children, Asia. Euro-pena and Australia, also came to see and enjoy the wonders of a party given by the Juniors of the Bellingham Normal. The first part of the evening was spent in a guessing contest, Alice Tigie receiving the prize, a souvenir book, having guessed forty-seven books represented by as many persons out of the some seventy Juniors present. Then followed a short programme, after which all were served to cocoa and cake. Mr. Beal, as toastmaster, called on Mr. Deerwester to speak, who responded with a short but spicy speech which might have been somewhat longer had not Miss Sperry given a timely warning that he must not steal ALL of HER speech. Being a gentleman of peace he immediately took his seat amid the hearty applause of all present. Miss Sperry was next called upon, and gave us a very interesting talk, remarking (as is usually the case whenever the Juniors are concerned) that she was pleased to see such a high standard of learning as was displayed tonight, for she had not read or even heard of nearly all the books represented. The President and Secretary next gave short speeches ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 23 ---------- THE MESSENGER 23 expressing their appreciation of the evening's entertainment. As the Treasurer had wisely made herself scarce she was not called upon to give a toast. A LONE DWELLER. Slower and slower we wound our way up the mountain trail. Our packs were growing heavier and we were impatient to be rid of them. No suitable place for camp had yet appeared, and since the nights were cold we would be uncomfortable indeed unless some friendly roof offered its shelter. Suddenly, as unexpected as an apparition, there stood before us in the trail a man, apparently a miner. He was as startled as we were, but quickly recovering from his surprise, he asked us about our journey. Upon learning that we were shelterless he insisted on our going to his house and spending the night there. We needed no second bidding, but fell in behind our guide. He led the way with long swinging strides. We were glad when we reached his cabin on the mountain side. We entered and threw down our packs. The cabin was a roomy one of cedar logs. It had one peculiarity which we could not at first understand. Two rows of heavy posts reached to the roof where they were fastened to huge rafters. These, we learned, were a support to the roof during the heavy snows. They were warped and twisted from the weight they had borne. Meanwhile our host was busy getting the meal. The savory odors of ham and coffee were very welcome, as our fare for days had been the simplest. A feeling had been growing on me, ever since we had submitted to his guidance, that our new friend had a remarkable personality. His face and figure were very impressive. His eyes were most noticeable. They protended from their sockets in the effort to see through and beyond you, for they did not seem to stop at the physical, but to stare on into the distance. They had the look of one who was not familiar with human society, closely resembling the eyes of the wild animal. His hair was slightly gray. The features of his face were regular and strong. His shoulder were broad and he towered up above the usual height. Tremendous strength and agility were written all over the man. His personal characteristics were well set off by a ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 24 ---------- 24 THE MESSENGER plainness in dress which was, of course, necessary in his walk of life. A suit of brown khaki, high topped boots and a fur cap constituted his every day wardrobe. I wondered again and again what manner of man he was. He spoke little, though we felt that he was enjoying our stay as mluch as we were. After we had spread our blankets in one corner and retired for the night I noticed that our host had left the cabin. He had been absent for some time when I rose softly, went to the door and looked out. It was a brilliant moonlight night and everything on the bare mountain sides stood out as plainly as by day. A few yards away, on a projecting rock, sat our host. He was apparently enthralled by the magnificent display nature had made when these jagged mountains were piled together. As I watched him there gradually entered my consciousness the reason why he lived in this wild inhuman fashion. He was a lover or rather worshipper of nature. Here the faithful child of nature watched year in and year out. If one could understand the wild call of the place some little indulgence would be granted him. I seemed to see the seasons come and go. When the white night would be changed, when the whirling mist should come over the pass in great valley-filling masses and down the great ravine on the left would come the wildly driven wind from the north to catch this mist and swirl it ferociously around till it crystallized into snow which would fall and cover the earth even to the tree tops. I do not know how long the hermit remained at the watch, but in the morning he rose early and set us on our way. Not content with this much hospitality, he guided us to the summit of the pass and bid us godspeed down the mountain. "We had gone some distance when, coming out on a sort of promontory, we looked back. Our strange entertainer was standing with feet spread wide apart and eyes on the distant fields of jagged, spiked mountain tops, which stretched away so far as eye could reach. And, thus, we left him. NOAH DAVENPORT. JOSHES. Seen on the Bulletin Board. Lost—My Psychological Development. Wanted at once—Three chicken catchers.

COLLEGIAN Fisherman's Cove Thursday, June 2, 1949 PERSONALITIES MAKE THE NEWS Wandering Reporter Sees All—Tells All By CLYDE LOOM1S Wandering about the Lummi reservation this evening, I happened upon a happy party, busily engaged in stuffing themselves with fried chicken. Glancing into the group, I spied many familiar faces and found they were some of my old cronies from the Publications staffs at their annual banquet. Among the dignitaries, there were: CECIL THOMAS—The "hard P H Y L L I S ARMSTRONG — boiled" editor, isn't as harsh as people claim editors are. "Cec" as everyone calls him, took over the job as ye olde editor, just before the Publications Prom, when the going was rough. He cracks the whip every Thursday to get every one out of the print shop by six and his f»v-orit saying is "Don't touch my arm—typhoid shots, you know." RUTH BURNET —Affection ateiy called "Ma B." by cubs and editors alike, Mrs. Burnet has the job of keeping a bunch of aspiring young journalists on the straight and narrow. With her lefthanded blackboard pen manship, she keeps her classes informed of deadlines, assignments, etc. "You are the one" and "Clean out the bottles, girls" were heard often whenever Mrs. B. was in the Collegian office. PEARL HOFMAir—"Poil," to many, the hardworking Klipsun editor, is sometimes given to indecisions; the refrain most often heard coming from her lips was "should I go to class or should I skip and work on the annual." Even her calculus hasn't suffered. Past editors may remember their trips to the engravers in Seattle, but our Pearl remembers well the trip to Columbus, Washington, and wayward points — with George Dowd! PAT GRAVES-Never with-out refreshment of some kind was this gal, Klipsun copy editor. Cokes were among the most frequent. Pat is just another Senior hallite on the staff. She kept the public informed of their doings at the house. RAY FJELLMAH-Ray is another convertible owner—only his is about 1932 vintage and "passionate pink" at that He was one of the "dutiful?" copy writers of the Klipsun and is famed for hit unique house warmings. "Bird-dog" to her Senior hall cronies, and Phyl to most, she's combined student teaching with managing the finances of the Klipsun—as a result they have a little left over. "Chief Strong Arm," she has become the "favorite of the fifth" grade on the play field. BURT HORMAN- Owner of a big blue '46 convertible that makes all the girls swoon, Burt seems to be held in monoply by one girl. Workhorse of the staff, he always turned in his copy so clean—the envy of the whole staff and pride of the copy editor. GLENNA HAZELDINE—This red-headed Canadian has served as co-news editor for the past two quarters. Called "Kluane" by virtune of living there, she's noted for saying "wot" and "bean" and famous for her feature "Clementine versus the Hootch." AL MAGNUSON—The use of postage stamps has declined somewhat since Al w r o te "thief" on the back of each one. Our industrious business manager must have had writers cramp when he got through. BETTY McLEOD—This hardy perennial has become a permanent fixture around the Klipsun. Last year's editor, she has helped Pearl with her many Sroblems. For the first time in er college career, she got a term paper in on time this quarter. K A T H L E E N GOLLY— "Katie" is another student teacher who's kept up her work on both publications; working as associate editor with Pearl fall quarter, and Collegian society editor fall and spring quarters. Many's the time her name appeared on the society assignment sheet—coupled with that of a certain aspiring young politician now in the east. Katie served as co-chairman of this years banquet and is willing to take the blame for its success or failure. BARBARA COZZA—"Bobbie" was the vivasious feature writ-ter and assistant business manager of the Klipsun. She wrote her column "Campi" pretty regularly except when her papers were burglarized. Sometimes her stuff wasn't so original, but always good for a laugh. Next time she should use more than one exchange paper. FRANCES F R A Z E E — To whether or not the Nipco press conference was a success, we leave up_ to Franny. The Fra-zee family saw little of their car Thursday nights fall and winter quarter—granges, political meetings and an occasional show following the routine of the print shop. PAT SOMERS —Never has one girls changed so much in so short a time. This reporter has well earned the name of girl-shivoo— for further info consult an Australian dictionary. Pat worked on ^ociety, straight news and served as copy-editor. KENNY FORSETH—This big blond sports editor was one of the best chauffers on Thursday afternoons. Many's a time he could be seen going down High street with his car full of staff members — girls usually! He must have some fatal charm. LEX MILTON-He is all that is left of the Young Democrats. We hope he, too, will find a job in Washington. As feature editor he consistantly tried to steal reporters, space and copy. WWCOLLEGI AN THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1949 Prined as Low Class Matter in the Cox Brothers Williams Dungeon Ye Olde Editor. , Slander Slingers- „ ^ Typist .... , , ... "Katie" ..Bobbie and Lavee „Pat, "Girl Shivoo" Advisers—Any fool dumb enough to try to tell them anything BEVERLY GORDON —This Mount Baker girl really has got what it takes when it comes to giving orders. She was the culprit who as news editor, gave eveTyone such jazzy assignments. Lavee will go down in history with her famous saying, "Who gave me da Ba-dilla?" S H I R L E Y DICKENSEN— Darling of the music department heads (you see, she covers the beat). "Smiles" reported for the Collegian and is serving as editor of the Navigator. This Senior hallite's favorite saying is "Hot Spit." Wonder where she learns such things. BOB SAFSTON — Diligent, hard-working but always late to class this lad served as associate editor of the Klipsun. Bob will continue his work on the Klipsun by being n e xt year's editor. MARGLEN SNEDDON— Marg is one of the people you have to thank for this meal tonight. She was one of the co-chairmen of the banquet. We didn't see too much of her on the Klipsun staff as the majority of her time is taken up by a certain Vik. GEORGE HESS—Tryant of the copy desk, George slaved over late copy until we were sure he was headed for a breakdown. He fooled us though, he'd just write a nasty note on his blackboard and go out for a short one—he just loves ice cream bars. COX BROTHERS-Here's to the long suffering Cox Bros., Lee and Dick, who many a night have gnawed their fingers to the elbow while waiting for errant reporters to turn in late copy. They got mighty hungry about 7 p. m. GLEN WOLF-The other half of the corporation of Milton and Wolf, he is constantly looking for tired jokes to inflict upon the readers of his column. GARY BRANDNER-Speaks softly and not too often, but wields a wicked typewriter! Gary has been the "old dependable" of the feature staff and is well on his way to becoming the college, students' Robert' Benchley.PPPPP

Cries of fiscal agony andhowls of "discrimination!" are ricochetting around campus in letters and memos. Mel Davidson, facultycouncil chairman, said that "on most of it, I don't see what choice we've got." He said the ExecutiveCommittee of the Faculty Council approved of Flora's recommendations "in the sense that they are bitterly necessary." He explained: "This is a good time to take advantage of the financial crisis to chop outthings that we haven't had the courage to take a hard look at before," he said. "His (Flora's) early-closingsuggestion, ideally, is the way to fly, but I guess it would be impractical in the long run." Davidson saidhe was surprised at the proposed cuts in the music and foreign language departments, "but there mightbe good reasons for them." Davidson said the president had to have all feed-back by Friday so that hecan prepare his recommendations for the next Board of Trustees meeting. Phillip Ager, chairman of theMusic Department, said he wasn't sure how to interpret Flora's recommendation to "eliminate all statesupported individual instruction effective fall, 1972." "If individual instruction is put on a fee basis then it'spretty discriminatory against one set of students. It's the only part of the report that suggests thatstudents should pay fees in addition to tuition for what they have to have." Ager was unsure of whetherthe individual instruction policy would apply to other state schools or just to Western. "If it's notduplicated in other state colleges it would be disastrous. Many students would switch schools and I don'tthink we'd have a music major much longer. There will'be a college-wide meeting at 4 p.m. today in theMusic Auditorium to discuss the budget recommendations. President Flora will be available to answerquestions concerning campus problems caused by the proposed budget cuts. Possible budget cutswould include the elimination of all state-supported individual music instruction, elimination of college-supported intercollegiate sports, combination of the Men's and Women's Physical Education Departments or a possible six-week spring session during the second year of the biennium. He said that individualinstruction, two-thirds of which is handled by faculty members, is vital to the music major. "It's a lab formusic majors," he said. "It's the single most central activity that a music major takes part in." "The whole thing is pretty disturbing, but then the whole fiscal situation of the college is pretty disturbing," he added.

The forum was sponsored by Off-Campus Interhouse Community, Inter-HallCouncil and the DARE Association of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce. Budgetary ConsiderationStudent Credit Hours Cost $4.22 on Average By RON GRAHAM Managing Editor One of the guidingfactors used by President Charles Flora in suggesting budget reductions was monthly teaching costs per student credit hour (SCH). The average instructional cost for all of Western Washington State College is $4.22 per student credit hour, with the most expensive department cost per student $8.18 (Music) andthe least expensive cost $1.77 (General Education, according to Flora's report. The costs per SCH atthe cluster colleges are; $4.50 for Fairhaven College, $7.01 for College of Ethnic Studies and $4.53 forHuxley College. The costs per SCH in the various departments is as follows: Courses Art BiologyEconomics Business Chemistry Education English Ethnic Studies Fairhaven Foreign LanguagesGeneral Education Geography Geology Total SCH Instruction All Levels Only History 8,858 $3.73Home Economics 2,086 $3.75 Huxley 1,079 $4.53 Library Science 585 $6.35 Math 10,020 $3.98 Music 3.171 $8.18 Philosophy 2,085 $3.48 Men's P.E. 2052 $5.20 Women's P.E. 2.535 $4.96 Physics 5,463$4.14 Political Science 7,627 $2.57 Psychology 12,718 $3.36 Soc/Anthro 9,486 $2.06 Speech 4,976$5.09 Technology 3,159 $5.39 Some of the bigger cuts suggested by Flora are aimed at thedepartments with high costs per SCH.

Bookstore Board, ASAC Involved in Power-play By SUSAN GAWRYS Front Reporter TheBookstore Board, which hasn't met since Mar. 4, is involved in another power hassle with the AssociatedStudent Activity Commission (ASAC). Bookstore manager Ray Knabe will retire July 1, and a newmanager will be needed. Howard Mitchell, chairman of the bookstore board, said that assistant managerGeorge Elliot will be the new manager. Mitchell said that Elliot has been given training and will beassuming control at the end of August. ASAC Chairman Rich Hass said that ASAC makes the decisionon who will- take over Knabe's job. As part of the Viking Union staff, the bookstore manager is underASAC jurisdiction, he said. "When there's a vacancy, someone shouldn't automatically get it," Hasssaid. "We have an obligation to interview people." Hass was commissioned by the AS Legislature towrite a letter to Mitchell, reminding him of a bill passed at the end of winter quarter: ". . . the ASLegislature remind the Bookstore Board of its obligation to notify ASAC prior to any openings in thebookstore management so that ASAC may begin interviewing applicants for the position." Hass addedthat, "Mitchell ought to be replaced. He hasn't been fulfilling his duties. He's being stubborn about thewhole thing. His empire is being stepped on." As to the board's irregular meetings, Mitchell said, "Weare waiting for student government to react to the rebate policy." He said a letter about it was sent to ASbut nothing happened. AS President Steve Cooper noted that the students passed the rebate policy inthe spring election. "AS clearly has the power," he said. The board still needs a student representativeto replace Les Savitch, who is in National Guard training, and Reed Merril, who resigned. Cooper saidthat he had a notice in the bulletin but no one applied for the position. The bookstore board is required tomeet once a month and report to AS. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front 3 Budget Cuts Upset Faculty (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Part of Flora's recommendation Departments read, "beginning fall, 1972, intercollegiate athletics to be t e r m i n a t e d or to become self-supporting." "We are figh'ting for our lives," William Tomaras, chairman ofthe physical education department, said in a letter to faculty and students. "Of all the non-academicactivities we have up here, athletics is of more interest to the students and general public than any other. We fully expect to take a fair share of the necessary budget reductions, but we do not feel our fair share should be extinction," he said. Tomaras said that the present budget for the physical educationdepartment is about $80,000 and that revenue from ticket sales amount to only $8,-10,000. "Evidentlyour administration does not recognize or is unwilling to place a high enough priority on athleticcompetition to retain the program in a time of crisis," he said. "There is no vote scheduled. There is notomorrow. The president makes it quite plain that he favors the alternative which includes the eliminationof athletics. "We have what many people off our campus regard as a model athletic program in aneducational setting. We are proud of our athletes and coaches and their achievements and we'd like tobe able to continue .to provide the same opportunities for current and future generations of students," hesaid. Flora's recommendation for the Foreign Languages Department is to "reduce commitment by 50per cent, effective fall, 1972." Walter Robinson, chairman of the Foreign Languages Department, saidthat the cutback "would turn the calendar back to the year 1961 for this department. "It would appearthat through the sacrifice of 50 per cent of the faculty, staff and programs of this department, all otherdepartments and programs might be spared an immediate bloodletting," he said. "It is obvious that anysense of security other disciplines might derive from this brutal and ruthless decimation of the ForeignLanguages Department would prove short-lived." Robinson said he saw the recommendation as an effortto i m p l e m e n t the C u r r i c u l um Commission's attempt at abolishing the departmental structurethat Western recently rejected. "I hope that all departments will join me in protesting this unfair,discriminatory diminution, if not complete abolition, of a valid academic area," he said. "The effect of thissuggested curtailment of our program would not only destroy our majors in all a r e a s - F r e n c h ,German, Spanish, Russian, and Classics, both for the B.A. and B.A. in Education, together with ourfledgling Master's program-but would also provide inadequate resources for our service role to othergraduate and undergraduate programs," he said. He said that if the proposal were enacted, only a"token" foreign language program could be offered. "No other department would suffer such drasticcurtailment in actual faculty," he said. "The College of Ethnic Studies is offered the option of reducingunit costs through wider student participation or reducing faculty. Our department is not offered thisoption." WALTER ROBINSON He added that implementation of the cutbacks to his department "canonly result in a program characterized as less than mediocre for Western." Flora's recommendation forthe placement office is to "reduce to the level of record keeping only," effective fall, 1971. WILLIAMTOMARAS Louis T. Lallas, placement office director, said the implementation of Flora's proposal "wouldhurt very much in terms of services we could give students." "Record keeping is important, but ourrecruitment function is the real guts of the program," he said. Deanship Race Down to Two Candidates A field of 63 candidates for the Dean of Western position has been narrowed down to two by the DeanSelection C o m m i t t e e , and the final recommendations will be made to President Charles FloraThursday, selection committee chairman Alta Hansen told the Front last Friday. Richard Purtill,assistant professor of philosophy, and William Bultmann, professor of history, are the two candidateschosen by the selection committee. The committee is composed of four faculty members and twostudents who were charged by Flora in mid-April to find a person from within the college to replace FredKnapman, the current dean. Knapman's one-year appointment was primarily a stop-gap move to fill thepost until another dean could be found. Like Sen. Eugene McCarthy's wife, Richard Purtill says he isn'tmeasuring any curtains for the White House. "I can't imagine me being acceptable to theadministration," Purtill said Friday. He told the small group of students who gathered to talk with himthat his chances of becoming dean "are probably very small." Purtill likened his standing for the position to McCarthy's bid for the presidency: "I am standing to make my voice heard," he said. During thediscussion he attacked the administration for its recent "arbitrary, uninformed budget cuts." "Theprograms were arbitrarily cut at the whim of the administration," he-told students. Purtill contended thatfaculty should have the last word in such cuts and also in all other major decisions. "When it doesn'thave the last word, I and most of the better teachers will leave Western," he said. The problem Westernnow faces is that "the faculty doesn't trust the administration and the administration doesn't trustfaculty," he said. "And I suspect the students don't trust either." "Administrators tend to forget why thiscollege is up here on the hill," he said. RICHARD PURTILL Purtill said he doesn't consider himself anexperienced administrator though he has been chairman of the philosophy department and served a two-year term on the Faculty Council. " I f you want an experienced administrator, you don't want me,' hetold the students. An experienced administrator often has a certain cast of mind that "it's always beendone this way and shouldn't change," Purtill warned the students. Though he doesn't see himself asacceptable to the administration, Purtill said the majority of the faculty share his views. The buildingtension between faculty and administration has been developing over quite a few years, he pointed out. P r e s i d e n t Harvey Bunke's " administration proved a "disaster," President Paul Woodring allowed thefaculty to run things, and President Flora has been influenced by the provost and deans, Purtill said. "As an Academic Dean, R. D. Brown was a disaster," he continued, and "Knapman has been in a poorposition since he was appointed for just one year." Purtill further charged that Knapman has beentreated "shabbily" by keeping him on a chemistry professor's salary. Several of Flora's recommendedbudget cuts were attacked by Purtill as poor choices. The elimination of the Library ScienceDepartment, the combination of the Technology and Home E c o n o m i c s Departments, the e l i m i na t i o n of state-supported individual instruction for music and the 50 per cent reduction in the foreignlanguages department were singled out by Purtill. William Bultmann, chairman of the history department since 1968, has been offered deanships before, but decided to accept this nomination for Dean ofWestern because "there should be people in the administration who have a solid background in historyand math." Although he admits he'll miss teaching, the 49-year-old history professor felt his teachingbackground will be beneficial if he becomes dean. "You should have someone who is fresh out ofteaching rather than a life-long administrator. A dean should know the issues and know what thestudents think," he said. "That's why I'm glad one of the outside people didn't get nominated." Bultmannsees the dean's job as a fine balance between keeping the same quality at Western while working within the present budget cutbacks. "The dean will have a defensive job; defending what we have, rather thanpromoting something new," he said. "Whoever gets the job will be known as the Austere Dean becauseof the budget cutbacks." If Bultmann receives the deanship, he said he will continue along the samelines as the present dean, Fred W. Knapman, and build on what he has already done. He said it will behis duty to take a careful look at the new programs developing at Western "and very carefully helpingpeople who have good programs to advance them." WILLIAM BULTMANN "We have some damn gooddepartments already," he said, "and a dean ought to do everything to help maintain these departments."Bultmann said the dean's real power lies in his ability to use his personality as a persuasive force toconvince President Flora and Provost Sargent on new programs. "His job is to encourage leadership,"Bultmann said. "But with the current cutbacks, it's going to be rough as hell. He's going to have to lookfor quality in the programs. "But then you have to determine what is quality. This is the dean's job." One of Bultmann's concerns is maintaining the academic standards at Western. He wants to make sure thata degree from Western will mean something wherever the student goes. "If the degree from Westerndoes not mean anything, then the degree is no good," he said. Bultmann said he will watch the different departments through student opinion, how the faculty is regarded throughout the nation and by its growth pattern. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Front Editorials.... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" Budget-Faculty Dilemma President Flora's budget- cutting recommendations have soinfuriated a number of key faculty members that the current rift between the faculty and administrationmay explode into a major feud in coming months. Dr. Richard Purtill, one of two apparent leadingcandidates for the Dean of Western post in Old Main, is using his platform to denounce some of theadministration's policies. Purtill, an associate professor and acting chairman of the PhilosophyDepartment, has publicly charged the college administration with failure to consult the faculty beforerecommending drastic cuts in certain departmental areasâ€”one such cut would slash the ForeignLanguages Department budget by 50 per cent beginning fall quarter, 1972. T h e f a c u l t y â€” n o t t he administrationâ€”should have the final word concerning matters which directly affect the collegecurriculum, Purtill contends. We have reason to believe he speaks for a majority of the faculty. We agree that the administration should have t h o r o u g h l y reviewed the recommended budget cuts with thevarious The Money Squeeze concerned department heads. The chairman of the Foreign LanguagesDepartment, who obviously was surprised by the president's recommendations, can be excused forcalling the proposal discriminatory. Without more specific administration rationale, we cannot seriouslyconsider many of the administration's recommendations. How the Executive Committee of the FacultyCouncil can endorse the president's proposalsâ€”even reluctantlyâ€”is beyond us. Naturally, to offset the college's staggering $2.4 million deficit for the next biennium beginning July 1, some blood-letting willhave to take place on the departmental level. We only hope the administration is taking enough time toconsider every possible implication of cutting back some departmental activities in drasticproportionsâ€”including foreign languages, music and athleticsâ€”before making final decisions. Weencourage your participation in the public budget session with President Flora at 4 p.m. today in theMusic Auditorium. â€”John Stolpe Hopefully, the current money squeeze will lead to greater interest bythose in the college community about where their money goes. The money squeeze also might force the college to take a closer look at the kind of education it is providing and do something to improve it. Itfurther might be hoped that the money squeeze will serve as a unifying force, pulling together themembers of the college community in a concentrated effort to deal with the situation which faces us. Ifsome of the barriers and suspicions were broken down the college could become a more personalized,cooperative effort, dealing with the problem of education in the demanding period of economic stresswhich is upon us. It is doubtful that such will be the case. Even though students are now aware thattuition is going up $87 next year ($447 compared to $360) and will be $135 above the present $360 in1972, they still don't have any idea what their money goes for. While the budgets are being decided bythe AS Legislature, Associated Students Affairs Commission and other college bodies, the one voiceconspicuously absent is that of individual students. The various forms of education have been criticizedand defended as long as there have been alternative forms. There is no real reason to expect that thepresent fiscal crisis will bring any meaningful changes in the way education is run at Western. Beforeeducation can make any real changes there will have to be a widespread change in attitudes byeveryone; legislators, parents, citizens, students, teachers and administrators. If anything, the problemscreated by the fiscal crisis at Western have tended to alienate and polarize factions of the campuscommunity. Faculty attacked President Flora when faculty reductions were announced. Students don'tappear to be too interested in the whole thing. As usual, they will probably be subject to the whim ofdecisions made in the struggle between the administration and the faculty. Whatever conciliatory bonestossed to students will merely be consolations to "keep the people happy." â€”Ron Graham EDITOR:John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: JimAustin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR:Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss STAFF REPORTERS the western FRONT"The Leading College Newspaper in Washington State" GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, JimThomson, Pat Brennen, Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.

Also if afamily gets into trouble, the whole community chips in to help out. Yet most important, the doctor says, is that the man is the boss in the family.

Editor: I would like to bring a most ominous proposal to the a t t e n t i on of the Western community. By now many of us are aware that a draft of Western's budget for the1971-'73 biennium has been presented. A document of some length, I am concerned mainly with one ofits aspectsâ€”that of a budget cut for the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature. For someinexplicable reason, the College administration wants to cut this department's budget in half! Of course,the department would be rendered almost totally ineffective. At this time, when we cry about the need to communicate, a step such as this is quite a backward one. I do not see the need to justify theexistence of this department. Any thinking one of us can figure that out for himself. However, I think that President Flora's proposal most c e r t a i n l y needs some justification. I urge all members of ourcommunity to join in this cause. The world will get smaller every day despite what happens here inBellingham. Esther Kohler S/A, Spanish Constitutionalist Explanation Editor: Recently Arch E.Roberts, Lt. Col. Ret., Director of the "Committee to Restore the Constitution, Inc." with national officein Fort Collins, Colorado was quoted as saying "I am not an anti-Communist." This statement withoutexplanation raised some eyebrows among those who know of his efforts in behalf of our country. Col.Roberts has issued the following statement to clarify his position: ' ' I am not an "anti- C o m m u n i s t" because . . . Communism is not a viable political force. "Communism is a creature of those whofoment world revolution as a technique for destroying existing social orders and was imported intoRussia from America. "Under the leadership of one Lev Davidovich Bronstein (alias Leon Trotsky) threehundred trained assassins from the lower east side of New York were sent into Russia to take over the ( A l e x a n d r Feodorovich) Kerenski government. "This band of. nihilists, who were ultimatelyresponsible for the deaths of 12 million Russian citizens, were financed by a member of an internationalbanking house in New York City. "The same cabal now finance and inspire "Revolution U.S.A. "I am aconstitutionalist and oppose communism as an i n s t r u m e n t of a more sophisticated and sinisterconspiracy. "I deplore the ease with which these concealed enemies have alienated our people, onefrom the other, by right-left polatization. "I submit that it's time for Americans to halt the insane"communist-anticommunist" diversion and join in a common effort for survival. "We can begin byexposing and neutralizing the real enemy . . . the power behind "communism."

English Courses Two team-taught courses will be added to theEnglish Department's list next year. The major change in English curriculum will be the addition of a new course, English 397 (Classical Baroque, neo-classical) tentatively planned for winter quarter. The coursewill be offered as a 12-credit package and will be team-taught by Marjorie Donker, Marjorie Ryan, andGeorge Muldrow. English 397 still needs departmental and academic council approval, however, Muldrow doesn't foresee any trouble. The class will meet four days per week, three hours per day, 90 minutes inthe morning and 90 minutes in the afternoon. It will cover periods in literature now covered by the English322, 323 series (English literature, Spenser through Metaphysical poets, and Dryden through Johnson).Specific years studied will be 1400 to 1800. Students interested in the new course will be individuallyinterviewed as enrollment must be kept down to 35 students, according to Muldrow. The other team-taught course will be 385e to be offered next spring. Titled Contemporary Issues in Literature, it will dealspecifically with women in literature and will be taught by Mrs. Donker, Dr. Ryan and Meredith Cary.Letter Writer Applauded Editor: Re: L. W.

SaysFountains Not Ecological Editor: With all the ecological awareness that is supposedly around, 1wonder why there are drinking fountains running all the time all over this campus. I have noticed them(and turned them off) in dorms, the library, class buildings, and the Viking Union Some people say thewater is not cold unless it is left running. I reply that if we are willing to trade who knows how manygallons of water for the privilege of not having to hold the handle ourselves while it gets cold (twoseconds?) we should shut up about Georgia Pacific et al. Ecology begins at home. Michele BrothersSophomore Home Economics Gives Infirmary Superior Rating Editor: My pill bottle cap is off to thestaff of the school infirmary. The treatment I have received from them is in most ways superior to havingto face a private physician who may be wary of payment. I haven't had an overbilling from the infirmary,yet. The nurses handle the patients at the infirmary with a professionality which helps one forget aboutthe time one may have to wait. The d o c t o r s explain treatment so that the patient may aid inpreventing reoccurrences^ The whole outfit serves people, so if you're sick, have student I.D., and have a flat wallet, try out the services at the infirmary. Remember two things, though; it isn't a hospital, and itis a service, not a privilege.

New Medical Insurance Plan The Student Health Services Committee has announced a new Medical Insurance Plan for next year. The policy, if taken for all three quarters,entitles the policy holder to free summer coverage anywhere in the world. The coverage cost per schoolquarter for a single student has been raised to $12.85. The cost to cover a student and one or moredependents has also been raised, to $27.50 per quarter. It is handled by a local firm, making claimsquestions easily handled. There is blanket coverage' of up to $1,000 per accident no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. According to the Student Health Services Committee this, "is the best coverage wecan obtain for a modest premium." Teacher-Researcher Program The Teacher-Researcher Program, aone-year laboratory experience at Whatcom Middle School, is now accepting applications. Freshmenand sophomores are particularly encouraged to participate in the program which begins next fall. Aninformational meeting will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Miller Hall 316.

Rash of Cycle Thefts Plague Campus Security By MARILEEPETHTEL Front Reporter Bicycle and motorcycle thefts are on the rise, according to Edward Donovan,Security Investigations officer. More than 35 bikes, valued at over $2,500 have been taken in the pastfour months. Four motorcycles have also been taken, the first thefts in over a year. Officers believe that a small number of Western students are involved in the bike thefts. Many of the bicycles taken areshipped south to Seattle or Tacoma where they are sold at low prices. Last year a whole bike rack, bikes and all, was taken from the Birnam Wood area. These bikes were also probably taken south and sold,said Donovan. Other bikes are used around campus, because the thieves know it is nearly impossible togo around and check the serial numbers on all the bicycles on campus. Security officers are workingwith the Bellingham police in trying to stop the thefts and recover some of the stolen bikes. So far therehave been no arrests for bicycle thefts. Donovan said that officers are fairly sure of certain individualswho are probably taking the bikes, but proving anything is very difficult. Donovan warned that a stiffpenalty faces those arrested for theft. A former Western student recently finished six months in jail forthe theft of a stereo from a dorm room. Donovan said that greater problem than the thefts is theintimidation and fear tactics used by the thieves. One Fairhaven student witnessed an attempted theft,but will not help with an arrest because of threats made. Students will have to work with officers in orderto stop bicycle thefts, Donovan explained. At Fairhaven, a small group of students have joined togetherto try to stop bike thefts from the Fairhaven dorms. Bicycles are parked in a central area, and a watch iskept over them all day and all night. Students have suggested a small locked shed might solve the theftproblem. Donovan explained security measures that can be taken to safe-guard bikes. Most important he said, was to know the serial number of the bike. If the bike is stolen, it may be recovered through serialnumbers. When storing bikes, it is important to lock the bike to some stationary object. If it possible,store bikes inside. Don't leave them out overnight, or over the week-end, he emphasized, as this is whenthe majority of the bikes are taken. Donovan added that those who have had bikes taken should checkwith security and the city police. Both places have several recovered bikes. New Food StampRegulations The United States Department of Agriculture has proposed new food stamp regulationswhich will probably affect Western students. Students would no longer be able to use educationalexpenses for hardship deductions. The shelter cost hardship would stay the same. Thirty per cent ofincome would be deductible. Other deductions would be medical payments exceeding $10 per month,emergency expenses and child care necessary for work. To be eligible for food stamps, all householdmembers under 60 years of age must be legally related. Unrelated roomers do not disqualify thehousehold. A household with anyone 18 years or older who is claimed as a tax dependent by membersof another household, such as parents, who do not receive food stamps, is not eligible. Maximummonthly income standards have also been proposed: 1 person: $160/month 2 persons: $210/month 3persons: $293/month The State Division of Public Assistance and the USDA will have to work together to design a plan for Washington which will satisfy their new regulations.

Smith Cleaners * Laundry, Inc.State Boulevard Always Open Chess Club President Revives Pawn Interest By DAN TOLVA FrontReporter Western's love affair with chess hasn't exactly been torrid in the past, but new enthusiasm forthe game by many students promises to liven things up around the Chess Club. Most responsible forresurrecting the game is Steve Chase, president of the club. Chase, a senior history major from Everett,has taught classes in chess, arranged tournaments and encouraged individuals in developing their skill at chess. His motives? "Chess is a game that develops the mind. When two players battle each otherthey stand or fall on their ability to think." This quarter he teaches a class in modern chess openings forthe Free University. Openings such as the "King's Indian," "Queen's Gambit" and the "Sicillian Defense"are gone over in detail at 7 p.m. every Thursday at the Campus Christian Ministry. The Chess Club hasfinished a round-robin tournament to determine the top players to represent Western at intercollegiatetournaments. Along with overseeing the club tournament, Chase has manufactured four large observation boards to allow an audience to view a game without crowding the players. The boards measure four feetsquare each complete with 32 cardboard pieces. These boards are to be used for the Peace Arch Open, to be held at Western next November. Chase is handling the logistics for a projected 50 entries. The last Peace Arch Open, also organized by Chase, drew 29 players from British Columbia, Washington andOregon. The strong showing of the Canadians is a sore spot with him. "If we could get a few of the betterplayers from Seattle up here for these things, we might stand a chance," he said.

JACK'S BIKE SHOP AMERICAN EAGLE" 733-19552006 James St. By BRIAN MORRIS Front Reporter Speaking at a Huxley Seminar Thursday, RobertBurd promised to "zero in on environmental pollution more effectively" with new legislation effective inJuly. Burd is Deputy Regional Director of the newly established Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA was created by President Nixon in December and combines all the previous pollutionprograms into one organization which Burd described as a "young, aggressive agency." Burd works outof the Seattle regional office which covers Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska, and according toBurd, our region has higher water pollution standards, than any other region in the country. Eighty-fiveper cent of the EPA budget goes for grants to build sewage treatment plants and for state and localagencies to set up their own staff of environmental control boards, Burd said. The weakness of the EPABurd explained is in the enforcement provision which requires the EPA to prove that "discharge in onestate does actual economic damage to another state." Commenting on the Anacortes oil spill, Burdsaid, "It is fortunate that it was diesel oil," as opposed to crude oil. As of now, Washington has one of the three bodies of water to be officially cleaned up by the EPA, Lake Washington. The other two are theWillamette River in Oregon and San Diego Bay. In Puget Sound the EPA has taken legal action againstGeorgia Pacific and Weyerhauser in efforts to stop pollution. When the permit legislation becomeseffective July 1, the EPA "won't award a permit unless corporations agree to establish a sewagetreatment plant with a set time schedule/'Burdsaid. your western front want advisor helps more peopleget the results they want than anyone else in the college community.

Graduation CeremoniesGraduation exercises for 1,400 eligible students will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., June 11 in Carver Gym, according to Tim Douglas, assistant dean of students. The featured speaker will be Dr. RonaldWilliams, dean of ethnic studies. Douglas expects only 600 students to attend. He said that manystudents who graduated in fall or winter quarter will not be returning for the ceremonies. The registrar'soffice reported that 873 bachelor degrees will be awarded: Bachelor of Arts, 391; Bachelor of Science, 34;Bachelor of Arts in Education, 444; Bachelor of Arts in Education from Fairhaven and Ethnic Studies, 3;and Bachelor of Arts from Ethnic Studies, 1. Approximately 50 Master's degrees will be awarded. Therewill be a reception in the Viking Union following the ceremonies. Lettuce Shortage Possible Lettuce may be in short supply on campus unless more Bellingham food retailers demand only United Farm Workers(UFW) lettuce from produce suppliers. Last week, committees at Western and Fairhaven decided thatonly UFW lettuce would be served in their respective dining halls. Although the committees have no realauthority over Saga's policies, Food Services Director Vince Gallagher said Saga would follow the groups' decisions. Jack Smith, Viking Union facilities director, said Friday that none of the dining facilities oneither campus had yet run short of UFW lettuce, but that there was a possibility of a shortage in thefuture. "More people are going to have to start stipulating union (UFW) lettuce so that the producehouses will put pressure on their suppliers for it," he said. Saga buys most of its lettuce from Keene'sProduce in Bellingham. Gallagher said Saga might have trouble getting only UFW lettuce, and that if itwasn't available Saga would probably not serve lettuce. The Gang Preacher' 'The Gang Preacher," DaveWilkerson, will be in Bellingham next week. Author of "The Cross and the Switchblade," he has workedwith several New York City gamgs, especially with drug addicts. He became famous after interrupting agang trial in an attempt to help the members. He founded the New York Teen Challenge, a drugrehabilitation program which claims 74 per cent cure rate among heroin users on its program. Wilkerson, a minister from Pennsylvania, now travels around the world, speaking to young people. Reaching 3,000 to 10,000 people a week, he speaks on drugs, sex and rebellion. Appearing with Wilkerson will be DallasHolm, a former rock singer. They will be at Bellingham High School Auditorium, June 4 and 5 at 7:30p.m. Photography Funds Cut Budget cutbacks have left the technology department with only enoughfunds for a half-time photography instructor. "It's a sad, sad case of running out of money," Sam R. Porter, chairman of the department, said. "We lost our instructor and while we were looking for a new one welost our allocation for one," Porter said. The department was able to provide enough funds for a part-timephotography instructor. "We hope to have a new instructor in the fall," he said. The tech department is asmall department and the faculty are specialized in narrow fields. Faculty can't be cut without jeopardizing programs, Porter said. Porter compared it to the language programs; the electronics instructor can't beexpected to teach photography any more than a Russian instructor can be expected to teach Latin.Photography enjoyed tremendous growth over the past few years, due primarily to the efforts andpopularity of the late Mark Flanders. The popular night course, tech. 160, will continue. The 160 coursewas started to accommodate students who just wanted a general knowledge of photography. "Itbackfired," confessed Porter. "It whetted their appetites for more." Demand for photography coursescontinues to exceed the resources of the department. The present budget situation will limit practically all classes to tech and VICOED majors. Porter sympathized with students trying to get into photographycourses. "How do you explain not being able to get into a class for three years?" ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front 9 Review Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Production of 'Boys in theBand' Receives Compliments from Critic By CY HILL Front Drama Critic When George Mead chose todo The Boys in the Band for the first all-student production on campus, he chose one of the finest andmost difficult to produce plays in contemporary theatre. Author Mart Crowley sets his drama at abirthday party given by six homosexuals for a friend, and then adds a heterosexual male (he claims he is) as the catalyst for the ensuing conflict. In this play the homosexual is seen in his own world, and thisprovides a very different perspective for the viewer. The men on stage are not "freaks," but very human.Crowley's major concern is with how each of the personalities is able to cope with the social problemsand guilt that arise from being homosexual in a society that outlaws homosexuality. Mead has beentremendously successful in his production. The cast was chosen with remarkable foresight, and thecollaboration between actors and director has produced a show that is professional. Every prop is perfectdown to the color of the Pouilly-Fuisse, and the set itself is a work of art. Everyone associated with theplay has reason to be proud for whatever part they played in making this fine show possible. All of theacting is good, but there are several performances that are outstanding. Randy Hansen plays Larry with a refined cool and is always present as a force on stage, and Benjamin H. Paster's performance asBernard is very real and imaginative. Joseph Grant plays the difficult role of Donald with great eptitudeand insight. But Larry Hannon performs the lead role of Michael with such professionalism and in suchminute detail that it is at times difficult to see anyone else on stage. Hannon is in complete control of hischaracter at every moment, and the play is well worth seeing for his performance alone. The play opened Sunday and runs through Friday on the fourth floor of the Viking Union addition. No one will be seatedafter the show begins at 8:15 p.m. and seating is only for 100 persons.

PresidentFlora has recommended that all intercollegiate athletics be dropped by the fall of 1972 or find ways ofbecoming self-supporting. Admittedly the college is in a financial crisis. The budget passed by the StateLegislature has placed Flora in a position where cuts must be made if Western is to survive. However,because we must now cinch up our money belts and attempt to get the best education for the leastamount of dollars is not reason enough to begin lopping off any department simply because the amountat the side of the budget would satisfy Pres. Flora's demands. Instead of killing off a few departmentsaltogether it would be wiser to limit many in their spending. The order to "desist or WESTERN/ATHLETICS D/Â£D f97Z become self-supporting" in one year's time is almost like asking RichardNixon to bring the troops home this afternoon. It is a nice dream, but that is all it is, a dream. Of the ten intercollegiate sports sponsored by Western, only one, basketball, would have any possible chance ofbecoming self-supporting within a year. The administration's position is that intercollegiate sports arenot necessary to the educational value of this institution. More important than the athletic d e p a r t m en t are such d e p a r t m e n t s as physics, chemistry and so on. The disagreement here, however, isnot that athletics are more important than other departments, but just as important. Western is aneducational school, and though it has become more of a liberal arts college in recent years, its primaryproduction is still to the field of education. The athletic department, largely through intercollegiate sports, supplies the state with many highly qualified coaches, instructors and administrators. If intercollegiateathletics are cut entirely, then so should courses such as honors chemistry, high level biology andhistory. Intercollegiate athletes are on the same level as students in these courses. An athlete of superior ability has just as much right to exercise these abilities in intercollegiate competition as an honorsbiology student does of attempting to find the answer to how and why organisms live. To force Vikingteams to try to become self-supporting or face extinction is like telling them to go out and get money anyway they can. One certain, ethical, method which will be used is to begin charging students admission to contests, instead of admitting them free in the past. But again, the only sport this might help would bebasketball. Intercollegiate athletics need to make budget cuts, there is no question about that. But totalelimination is not the answer. Out of all the departments that spend money, the athletics department isone of the few that actually takes revenue in also. Student participation and interest has greatlyincreased in athletics over the past few years. It would be criminal to kill that enthusiasm and support atthe peak of its success. Dr. William Tomaras Western athletic director, and several Viking coaches havevoiced not only concern, but a willingness to help make sacrifices in order to save the program. Whencutting programs in order to save money, a close look should be given to not only the amount of moneythat would be saved, but also at the educational and social value that would be lost. Pres. Flora shoulduse his budgetary scalpel to cut away the deadwood and non-essentials, not a logger's axe swingingblindly at anything with a dollar's sign followed by a lot of zeros. Banquet Sign-Up Deadline TomorrowTomorrow is the last day for lettermen to sign up for the All-Sports banquet to be held Wednesday June2 at 8 p.m. at the Viking Commons Dining Hall. A sign-up sheet is available at the Men's AthleticDepartment. Lettermen who sign up will-be admitted free. An admission price of $3.50 will be charged toall others interested in attending the banquet. Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Viks Second In Net FinalsWinning one event, Western's tennis team took second in the Evergreen' Conference championship meet, which took place Friday and Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. The Vikings finished behind Southern Oregon. The final scores were Southern Oregon 112, Western 76, Whitworth 72, Central 39, host Oregon College21, Eastern Washington four and Eastern Oregon no score. Oregon Tech did not compete. Western'sfirst place finish came in No. 2 doubles with Larry Corbin and Steve Adelstein combining for thechampionship. Second place finishes for the Viks were gained by Corgin, No. 3 singles, Frank Williams,No. 5 singles and Williams and Doug Clark, No. 3 doubles. The Vikings socred third place points withArnie Larson, No. 2 singles, Clark, No. 6 singles and Steve Doerrer and Larson, No. 1 doubles. Doerrerand Adlestein each placed fourth in No. 4 singles, respectively. "We played well," said Vik coach DonWiseman. "We lost a couple of close ones, but still did a pretty good job." Wiseman referred to the lossof two tie breaking matches. The doubles team of Doerrer and Larson lost a three set tie breaker in thesemi-finals, as did Corbin in his singles event. The Vikings will compete in the NAIA District I match thisFriday and Saturday in Spokane. The individual and doubles winners there will advance to the NAIAnational championship tournament. Lightweight Four Third in Seattle Western's lightweight four crewplaced third in the finals in the Western Sprint Regatta, held Saturday on Lake Washington's AndrewsBay in Seattle. The Viks rowed the 2000-meter course in 7:14.9 trailing the University of Washington No.2 team and Pacific Lutheran University. The Huskies finished in 6:59.4 and the Lutes were timed in7:13.0. The UW No. 1 shell finished fourth followed by San Diego, Santa Clara, San Diego State andOregon. Other Viking boats in the Regatta were the varsity eights and varsity fours with coxwain, whoplaced fifth and third respectively in consolation heats of their events. In the big race of the day,Washington's varsity eight crew won the Ebright Cup race, defeating the University of British Columbia,Loyola, Cal State, Long Beach, UCLA and Stanford. Washington dominated the meet, adding victories inthe junior varsity eights, freshman eights, four with coxwain, and varsity fours with coxwain. The onlyraces not won by the Huskies were the four without coxwain and pair with coxwain, won by UBC andOrange Coast Rowing Club, respectively. Fish Eye Keep Them Hooked Western Front 11 By SCOTTANDERSON Front Reporter Probably the biggest cause of losing fish, next to poor line or faultyequipment, is due to improper technique. Many fishermen, once they get a fish hooked, literally "horse"their fish in with, their drag set tight. Rather than doing this, one should have the drag set fairly loose toplay the fish. Some reels have an additional button which allow the reel to move both ways when a fish is on. Such reels allow maximum play and make fishing a much more exciting sport. I have also foundthat I lose fewer fish when I make use of this button, which can be switched quickly with a flick of thethumb. Another mistake many fishermen make is holding their rod low when bringing in the fish. The rod should be held at a high angle from the body, especially when fishing from a boat. Streams offer theirown problems when they are heavily wooded or surrounded by underbrush. For example lines have atendency to become tangled around small trees and underbrush. T h e r e are only two suggestions Ican make here: 1) use a pole which comes apart and 2) keep the pole low and close to the body.Occasionally carrying the pole in a vertical angle is necessary to avoid tangles. Incidentally, Whatcomhas been producing bass to five pounds, in addition to cuts up to six pounds. Balke Mound LeaderWestern baseball pitcher Don Balke led the Evergreen Conference (Evco) pitching title this season,according to official Evco releases. Balke, a sophomore from Edmonds, led Evco with an earned runaverage of 0.50. He was followed by Greg Schulte of Central, 1.33, Tom Beal of Whitworth, 2.00, andDave Heaverlo of Central, 2.65. Balke allowed three earned runs in 52 innings of conference action.Heaverlo led Evco in strikeouts with 51 fannings. Beall won the league batting crown with a .475 average, followed by Tim Huntly of Central, .407, and Frank Teicheira of Oregon Tech and Mark Gantar ofCentral, both batting .400. Final league standings announced by the Evco office had Central in firstplace (7-4) followed by Whitworth (7-5), Oregon College and Southern Oregon (8-6), Western andEastern Oregon (6-6), Eastern Washington (4-5) and Oregon Tech (3-11).

This statement, a part of President Flora's tentative plan for the budgetaryperiod 1971-73, in essence calls for varsity athletics to cease by fall quarter 1972. A part of alternativefive, a plan Flora openly favors, it in actuality kills the athletic program in that it is nearly impossible tomake the program self-supporting in a year's time. "In our judgment an inter-collegiate program atWestern cannot be self-supporting," states athletic director Dr. William Tomaras! "The current budget ofapproximately $80,000 is well worth the expenditure," Tomaras said, "in terms of value to the training ofphysical education teachers and coaches, in terms of student participation, morale and recreationalinterest." Western's athletic program has stuck rigidly to an educationally-oriented program and inperspective with the total educational program. The control of the program has always come through theinstitution itself, not alumni or businessmen who might take it out of its moderately financed,educationally sound context. "Now Flora is proposing, in a completely hypocritical move, a completereversal of philosophy. For athletics to continue even on a partial basis, funds would have to be solicitedfrom alumni and "downtown" sources. Such an idea is absurd. It seems when the pressure is on Floracannot back a program that has done everything in its power to meet the standards of an educationally-oriented athletic program. As Tomaras states, "Our administration does not recognize or is unwilling toplace a high enough priority on athletic competition to retain the program in a time of crisis." "We fullyexpect to take a fair share of the necessary budget reductions, but we do not feel our fair share should beextinction." No other non-academic program has the interest of more students than athletics. Certainly itis a program for those students with superior motor skills, yet hundreds of others reap enjoyment asspectators. It would also seem that if there were questions as to the validity of a program, that those inthe department would be queried about possible moves. In fact, this has noot been the case. It seems the administration on this issue takes advice from everyone except those most knowledgeable of thesubject. Now the decision is out of the athletic department's hands, not only before the proposal, but after it as well. It is now up to the students, townspeople, alumni and athletes to take action by respondingdirectly to President Flora if athletics are to continue at Western. It is feasible that if the current proposalbecomes fact and a self-supporting program is started, that in time it could grow to dominate the entireschool as it does now in many institutions, one such being only 80 miles away. This is not wanted byanyone. What is wanted is a fair shake in regard to athletics. It may take a little effort to make many little reductions than a big one, but certainly in this instance well worth it. Cindermen Fifth Ma gee, Vorce,Long Win Evergreen Track Titles By KENT SHERWOOD Sports Editor Qualifying four competitors forthe nationals, Western's track squad placed fifth in the Evergreen Conference (Evco) meet, held Fridayand Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. Oregon College, who hosted the meet, won the championship, scoring175 points, followed by Central, 142%, Southern Oregon, 88, Eastern Washington, 8P/2, Western, 76%,Eastern Oregon, 30, Whitworth, 25 and Oregon Tech, 8. Western's Evco champions were Jim Magee inthe 220, Bill Long in the pole vault, and Mike Vorce in the 440-yd. intermediate hurdles. Magee ran a21.7, a lifetime best for the 23-year old freshman. Long vaulted 14-0, again tying his school record.Vorce won in a time of 54.2, far slower than his record time of 53.4 set a week ago against Central, butthe sophomore from Lyle High School won easily, defeating his arch rival Mike Behrbaum of Central.Behrbaum finished third. By winning at the conference meet, all three automatically qualified for the NAIA championship meet, to be held June 3., 4, and 5 in Billings, Mont. Also qualifying for the national meetwas Steve Lippitt who took second in the six-mile run. Lippitt's time of 31:19.4 was well under thenational qualifying standard. Other seconds in the Evco meet for the Viks were by the mile relay team ofVorce, Dick Foley, Jeff May and Mike Page, in 3:20.4 and Page in the' open 440-yd. dash in 49.6.Western thirds were won by Magee in the 100 (9.9) and the 440-yd. relay team of Vorce, Dan Wakefield,Magee and Page (43.6). Magee recorded a lifetime best of 9.7 in a preliminary heat held Friday. Vikingsplacing fifth were Ken Johnson in both the high hurdles (15.3) and intermediate hurdles (57.8), KellyStecker in the mile (4:23.2) and May in the 440 (49.6). Sixth place honors for Western were earned byJim Wilcox, shot put (47-9), Bob Christenson, discus (146-5), and Wes Busch, pole vault (13-0).Freshman Mark Salzman leaped a lifetime best of 6-0 in the high jump, but failed to place. OCE's victoryput an end to Central's dominance of Evco track. The Wildcats had owned the league crown for nineyears. Oregon College won seven events, taking the first four places in the high hurdles and the first three in the high jump. Bob Keyes won the hurdles for the Wolves in 14.9, followed by teammates DaveStephans, Ken Boethin and Mike Saylor. Dennis Olafson won the high jump, soaring 6-8 with Keys andStephens each going 6-6 for second and third. â€”details page 11 WEDNESDAY NIGHT from 7-10DIME SCHOONERS 1112 Cornwall WEDS, thru SAT. 733-0201

NO 10 THE LEWIS COUNTY INSTITUTE OF LAST A FORMER STUDENTS MEET On Wednesday noon, November 23, at the time of the Lewis County Institute in Centra] ia, a large group of former Bellingham students gathered in the Chamber of Commerce hall to pay respect and send greeting to their Alma Mater. The time was spent listening to talks from the Normal delightfully told by Mr. Bever, followed by Mr. Hoppe, who masterfully entertained the group with humorous readings. The noon hour was gone all too soon and only was there time for a few reminiscences of Normal days by Miss Z. May Meighen, our very capable cbunty superintendent, and an expression of appreciation to Waldemar Jaeger, under whose direction the luncheon was planned, and Mr. Herbert Heath, who acted as toast master.

This sparkling comedy has been considered one of the best English plays since its production, March 3, 1773. The' humorous situations, the phraseology and the quaint costumes are factors which make it an immortal fun-maker. The cast represents the highest dramatic ability in Bellingham. Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf of the Expression department, have important roles. Y COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL Today, the dangerous time of after-war reconstruction, is the time when people should be drawn together into a common unit of thought and action. As a stimulus to social instinct and cooperation, the Bellingham State Normal School is offering a Community Lyceum Course to small school communities. The course is formed to promote the following aims: To aid the school in the important work of humanizing and vitalizing its relations with the community; to make instruction, inspiration and entertainment available at a minimum cost DEALS OF NORMAL SET F FAITH IN SCHOOL JOURNAL REVIEWS WORK (Continued on Page Two) (Continued on Page Five) The following contribution regarding our President and his ideals for Normal appears in the present issue of the Washington Educational Journal. "The subject of this sketch was born in Wisconsin and launched upon his career in South Dakota. Upon graduation from Yankton College, he was admitted to the ancient and honorable order of the ferule and immediately started to initiate young men and women into the mysteries of Pytagoras, Eulid, and Ptolemy. While teaching Mathematics and Astronomy at Au-gustana and Yankton Colleges, he gave indication of professional ambition by undertaking graduate work at Leipsic and at the University of Minnesota. He received the Master's degree from Yankton College in 1905 and was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1911. In South Dakota he served two terms as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, one term as President of the State Teachers' Association, and nine years as President of the State Normal School at Aberdeen. "In 1914, Doctor Nash was called to the Presidency of the Bellingham State Normal School. The Norcnal-'by-the- Sea responded quickly to the vigor of his administration. Preceding highest records of attendance, both in the regular year and in the summer session have been doubled. The faculty has been increased from thirty-six to _ fifty-six. Buildings have been rehabilitated, campus greatly enlarged, a new heating plant and a new dormitory erected. President Nash has actively identified himself wth every form of public service— religious, educational, civic, patriotic. So markedly has he demonstrated his qualities of leadership that there is a general feeling in the community and in the state that if he undertakes any important task it will be carried through to a successful issue. "When interviewed regarding his aims and ideals for the Bellingham State Normal Shool, Doctor Nash expressed himself in the following terms: 'I want this school to be second to none of its kind in the country. I have always upheld the position that the Normal Schools of the state must be regarded as institutions of collegiate rank and that they must maintain collegiate standards of work. The Bellingham Normal _ is not copying any other institution; the plan of its work is unique. I do not want it tied to any traditions of the past that may hamper growth ,and development. Any innova-itons are welcomed that give evidence of a progressive spirit held in leash by a judicious, but not fettering, conservatism. The strength of a school is to be found in its faculty. I hope to have in charge of the various departments at all times specialists who will rank with the best in the country. It is my policy to commit to competent and representative members of the faculty the responsibility for developing the strongest possible program of teacher training.'" ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 December 2 - Page 2 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1921.

Normal boasts a dozen such. "Ho! Ho!" chuckles Mr. Bever, when asked to spin a fish tale. "You see, Mr. Bond about that." "I used to be exceedingly fond of fishing," confided Mr. Kibbe, "but somehow I never got exactly acquainted with the fish out here. Mr. Bond's your man." "Yes," mused Mr. Bond, "the way to get really acquainted with a person is to go away out from civilization somewhere and' spend the day fishing with him. If there's anything wrong with him it'll -come out pretty strong before the day is over. "I've been fishing one time or another with every man on this.faculty and;every one of 'em measures one hundred per cent on my pet test. "The biggest fish I ever caught I met upon the North Fork. I got a noble bite and pulled with all my might. Next thing I knew I came to the surface with the fish's tail in one hand and the limb of a tree in the other. Rindall helped me out. That fish weighed thirty-two pounds. "One time Eindall and I decided to see who was champion fisherman. We fished four straight hours, and at the end of that time one of us had 16S fish and the other had 172. We agreed never to tell who had those extra four fish. "I nearly caught a fish to beat Bond's," said Mr. Rindall. "I felt an awful tug at my line. I got a glimpse of him. He was four feet long. I played him for a while and then began to pull. Just as I was about to land him I awoke to find that Bond had all the covers. My fish was a blanket." Miss Gragg is the only woman of the faculty who confesses to any fishing experiences. "When I came West I was on tiptoe to t ry your wonderful fishing, of which I have heard so much. A neighbor furnished me with a jointed pole, a reel, a basket and high boots. We set out. The biggest stream we could find was five feet wide. We caught fish three inches long. I bore it proudly home and put it on the table— the cat got it." Mr. Kolstad politely refused to be communicative, so we resorted to blackmail. They tell this one on him: He was fishing one day on the Nooksack and had caught only a cold. He fell in with a stranger, a traveling salesman. The stranger mistook Mr. Kolstad for one of his own guild, as others have done before, and asked what his line was. The psychologist modestly disclaimed the tribute and asked "What's yours?" Now the salesman had been catching fish after fish, while A. K.'s basket remained empty. Quoth the salesman, "My line is rubber sporting goods, which explains my superior luck in fishing. I have on a pair of our boots now." "Do you mean to say—" "Sure thing! See for yourself." Mr. 'Kolstad put on the boots and immediately his luck changed. The fish threatened to eat up his hook and line, and soon his basket was full. In the excitement he rashly waded into the river. He was immediately surrounded by swarms of fish, which threatened to tear off the boots. He was dragged back to safety by the salesman, who said: "Prettv good line! Even the fish think so!" Now, I ask you! B. S. N. S. The boys who call themselves the Candly Kids are often times the Lemon Drops.

S.- JOSEPHINE CONVERSE WRITES FROM PARIS Miss Helen Beardsley has received a very interesting letter, dated "Paris, October 27, 1921," from Mrs. Josephine Converse, a graduate of our school, who was formerly an instructor in foreign languages at Whatcom High School. Mrs. Converse is now a student at the Sorbonne. She has received honorable mention there. She expects to teach French in a university upon her return to America. Mrs. Converse loves Paris, but has to work hard. "Students," she says, "go and go," but they do not receive credits unless they ask permission to take examinations." "French students refuse to be bored by a professor who kills time," she relates. "They shout—'asses, asses! C'est fini!' I have sometimes thought I should like to do that in the United States." The students incude Chinese, Japanese, Swedes, Danes, many Kussians, and some Americans. Living is high in Paris, but everyone seems to be employed, and there is little unrest, as in this country. B. S. N. S. SHE WORRIED ABOUT IT. (By Anne Bra-nnick) Her eyebrows were awry, her hair out of curl, . And she worried about it. She'd been snubbed in the hall by that horrid Jones girl, And she worried about it. She hadn't a "date" for Saturday night. 'Cause she and Alonzo had just had a fight. And, good gracious me, was her dress quite all right? And she worried about it. Her plans bore this legend "Re-write" or "see me," She didn't worry about it. With red ink her essays were decked beautifully, She didn't worry about it. When asked to recite, she was usually mium. You'd think that this fact would have bothered her some. But she was quite happy and simply chewed gum. . She didn't worry ahout it. B. S. N. S. The Eterna Masculine. Father: "Well, anyway, women are just children, grown up a little.

MILLER WRITES AN ARTICLE FOR JOURNAL In the November issue of the Washington Educational Journal appears an article on "Vocational Guidance as a Function of the School" by Dr. Miller. In this article Dr. Miller states, "that modern education demands that the interests, activities', and subject matter of the school be identical and continuous with life; and that to fit one's self for the vocation for which he is best adapted is the only possible way to participate freely and efficiently in the work of the world. This necessity for time in the development of intelligent choice implies an educative process which should make vocational guidance an integral part of the work of the school." Dr. Miller shows plainly the need for a system for guidance along these lines and also makes various suggestions as to how this might be done. Read the article for it is on one of the live topics in educational work. Bellingham Truck Co. Ask us about Prices before moving Pianos and Furniture Packed and Moved.

Many a triumph has been gained for our school in contests with the other Normals of state as well as with many strong district teams. This year is to prove no exception to the rule. Some excellent material is in school. Many men who have already proved their worth on other basketball floors, and some veterans of former Normal team are here. Coach Carver has arranged a stiff schedule, and is hopeful that his boys will finish the season with a clean slate. Many games besides those already ar ranged will doubtless be played. The regular games with the city school teams will probably take place. The schedule to date is as follows: Jan. 11—Vancouver ex-Normal (tentative). Here. Jan. 14—College of Puget Sound. Here.

NEW BOOKS RECENTLY ADDED TO THE LIBRARY Book covers find among new books a fascinating something that is an intricate part of the undimmed ink, the fresh binding, the make up and content; they peep under a particularly promising looking cover or skim a page here and there with all the delights of exploration. So much interest has been shown in the New Book shelf introduced recently into the Library that we should like .to mention briefly a few of the very latest books that have appeared on the shelf. James, William. Letters 'of William James, edited by Henry James. To students who have been daily asking for th ereserved books, James' "Psychology," and James' "Talk to Teachers," this book will afford a great human experience and delight. "The whole man with his wide interest in philosophy, medicine, and writing, as well as the pleasant friendliness of home and college life are admirably disclosed in his letters, even in his pencil sketches." A. L. A. His "Varieties of Religious Experience" is a book especially interesting because of its broad outlook. Santayana, George. Character and Opinion in U. S. "A keen, kindly analysis of American life, particularly of the more subtle mental attitudes. Seems to centralize around a conception of the American character as vigorous, hopeful, good, somewhat childish; hampered intellectually by con-vetional prohibitions and compulsions; and devoted to a liberty based on cooperation and the spirit of live and let live." A. L. A. A new line of thought comes with the reading of this book, for not once in a year does a book teem with such a glowing vocabulary, crystal-like phrases, humor, and truth. The author was a professor at Harvard University and, though born in Spain, is one of Ameria's great philosophers. Read also his "Life of Reason," "Sense of Beauty," and "Winds of Doctrine." — B . S.

Anne Brannick Club Editor Ruth O. Wenz December graduates miss the setting of a regulation graduation day—the sunshine, the roses, the frills and all that. But our cloud has a silver lining. Think of it! To us has been granted two Thanksgiving days in the same year, the same A GRADUATION month, almost in the same week. Verily, POEM our hearts overflow with the measure of our blessings. The goal of our present ambition has been attained. Labor has its reward; the coveted diploma is within our grasp and, oh, joy! a possible pay check looms large in the desert waste of'our financial affairs. Thankful? Yea, beyond measure! But not grateful alone for material blessings! More priceless by far are the pleasant memories that we shall take with us—the memory of inspiring, faithful instructors, the memory of helpful, loyal friends and acquaintances and the memory of a delightful environment. ~We are thankful for the knowledge that has come to enrich our minds and s.rengthen our bodies. We are thankful for the fields of service that await us; may we ever play a woivhy part therein! Finally^ we are grateful to our fellow-citizens throughout the state and nation, who, for the sake of an ideal, have given of their means that we might enjoy the advantages that have been ours through our school lives.—One of them. B. S. N. S. SOME THOUGHTS ON SCHOOL SPIRIT. (XN EVERY HAND we hear much about school spirit. To excel in its display is the ambition of every class. The regular students complain that the summier students do not show a proper spirit, and these elder folk retort that the ''regulars" have not yet learned the meaning of the word. What is the elusive, intangible thing, that having it, we may believe we have it not, and, while boasting its possession, we yet may have it not? Eureka! In that maze of idle words. I have it. School spirit is a composite—the result of many reactions. The outer portions uncertain and nebular, consist of much vociferous ''rootings," of many sprawling class numerals in unseemly places, of many "hi-yu" good times and illy-prepared lessons, of much whispering under the assembly gallery and idling in the halls, of many anxious interviews with those in authority. But now, slowly, the composite takes form, registering faithfully prepared lessons, increasing earnestness and loyalty to duty. There is shown increased devotion to student activities and a better appreciation of faculty efforts. Until at the center, is found the heart, beating steadily and rythmieally through the years in love and veneration for Alma Mater.—A December Graduate. B. S. N. S. A LL THTNG-S come to ends—even such good things as quarters, terms, and Messenger s affs. It was with regret we realized that this issue was to.be our last, and we hurried around a little faster than usual and tried to fill up the pages with good news. We hope you read it every bit and like it, and if you do, tell us about it. As we think back over the quarter, somewhat in retrospect, we know there are many articles that should have been better, jokes that could have been funnier, news that could have been fresher. We like to think of the new columns we have started, the one absolutely new joke we wrote, the poem we made up; and then the things that we have left for the next staff to finish: tulips, good English, lectures. To the next staff we wish much success with their work, and thereto we bequeath them all our frayed pads and pencil stubs, the small hours in which to. work, the fears and joys and all the fun that goes with writing. AIL TF KI. TT M IK FROM THE PHYSICAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The ideal of physical training in our educational work should be to promote the health of school children; and this implies that special care be taken to overcome that tendency toward nervous unrest that the strain of American life, as well in business and social circles, as in the schools, tends to create. It may not seem that the few minutes which are or should be given each day to physical training in the public school, will affect materially for better or worse the character and bearing of the children who are subjected to it, but when it is remembered that these exercises are to go on day after day from the time the child enters school, its influence will be more readily recognized, and its hygienic importance more fully appreciated. (To be Continued) REDUCTION OF ARMAMENT TO BE DISCUSSED WEEKLY This Corner Will Be Devoted to the Cause Until the Allied Conference Closes. Princeton University has an active club for the Reduction of Armament. President Harding expressed his approval of the organization as follows: "It is most gratifying to know that the college thought of the Republic is being exercised helpfully to commit the sentiment of our country and the world to real achievement. A great service to this generation may prove vastly greater to the generations yet to come." The New York Times has given an entire edition over to a discussion of Reduction of Armament. The Literary Digest of November 12th devotes the entire number to the cause, as does the New Republic, November 16th. with an additional supplement. The Tacoma Ledger also gives an entire issue to the movement. Harry Lauder says war is all wrong. "Great things are coming. Great things will be done. Great things must be done. And there is a way in sight at the conference at Washington. It lies for the English speaking people of the world to make war impossible, not for a generation or two, but for everlasting time. Forty colleges responded to Princeton's call for a conference of colleges for reduction of armaments. President Harding commended them for their activity and interest, stating that the questions of today would be settled by the younger generation I wonder if the difference between the college student and the normal student may not be ilustrated by this very interest shown in a question of international importance. It seems as though the Normal students were not interested and utterly uninformed on this very important issue. Seligman of Columbia says, "Whether the delegates to the armament conference realize it or not, the future of European civilization is at stake." Meanwhile Americans should demand to know why 3 cents of every dollar of their government's money in 1920 was spent in paying for past wars and preparing for future wars.- B. S. N. S. LAURA A.

Miss Johnson's home was at Kent, Washington, where her' father has a large farm She came to Normal last year. Durig the "flu" epidemic she assisted Miss Mead most efficiently in caring for the girls at the dormitory. Miss Mead says she has never known of a more reliable girl in time of need and distress.

E OF A SI I Some there may be who think teaching a lifeless and prosaic process. After one has interviewed a number of Normal students he wonders if life in the movies, aeroplane flights, or the old adventures of cowboys on the plains offer any more thrilling experiences than some of these demure pedagogues have encountered, who so meekly answer "Present" when the roll is called at Normal classes! One slim, curly-haired maiden, who really appeared too fragile to tackle an eighth grade job in our Training school, confessed that last year she had the opportunity of dealing with human nature in the raw. She was called to teach in a four-room school, close to the boundary line where loggers, a few ranchers, smugglers of Chinese laborers and "booze runners" thrived. Boys composed most of the attendance, overgrown and undisciplined. School to them was a secondary consideration as they made men's wages when the logging camps were running. Their object in attendance was the old one, to run the school and the teacher. After many exciting adventures in which the old-fashioned rubber hose was. resorted to, and the teacher's desk one evening contained two quarts of whiskey, taken from one of the ring leaders of the boys; after much discouragement, ex-haustless patience and tact, order was brought out of chaos. Students admitted— even the wildest of them—that they liked to come to school. Evenings were spent coasting, hiking and fishing, with the object of keeping the boys out of mischief. Looking back on the year now, our fragile little Normal student thinks the experience she gained there invaluable and really admits that after the first misunderstandings were over, she grew to love and appreciate the warm, human nature she encountered. Another teacher, a young man, had a rather difficult time because most of the people in his district were Slavonians and lived in a community by themselves. Many of the pupils were older girls; more shy young ladies were never seen. When the teacher tried to be friendly and called at their homes to interest them in community work and play, the girls all ran and. hid. Nor ANNOUNCEMENT Commencing Thursday, December first, we will serve a splendid Table d'hote Dinner at $1.00 per person, from 5:00 to 8:15 p. m. every evening Sam Rathman's music Your social obligations may be taken care of by a Dinner at the Leopold Special attention to parties, large or small, on short notice was he able to make himself understood by the parents. One day he herded most of the pupils 6 miles to another school for a spelling match. When they arrived, they collected in a side room and refused under any consideration to come out. Another day he brought them to an adjoining school for an examination. They looked at the other children, looked at the questions and marched home. By persistent and patient effort he managed by the time school was out to get within speaking distance of them outside of school hours. In some cases it is well to be something of a boxer. A young teacher called a large boy, who had been misbehaving, to her desk. As soon as she rose he struck at her. As she had had a great deal of trouble with him and her predecessor had been forced to leave in the middle of the term, she did not hesitate, but launched an uppercut straight at him and he fell to the floor. He was not hurt but was forever after a good boy. Sometimes it pays to use cave-man tactics. The places which should have the most unselfish and best teachers are the one and two-room schools, because then the school house and the teacher must become the center of any community life that there is. One such teacher had a school in the coal fields. She organized a P. T. A. which became very active, a dancing club for the community, had a co-operative community hall built and conducted a Sunday School. It is such teachers who demand, or rather deserve the highest praise. Many students have only delightful experiences. One girl taught east of the mountains in the apple country. Most of the people were moderately well off. Her life was a series of rides, dinners and entertainments, which the community provided. She was paid $150 a month and had but twelve primary children to teach. —Verna McGinnis. 13. S. N. S. COMMUNITY COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL (Continued From Page One) to communities; to present numbers of such nature that there shall be something of interest for every member of the school community. The members of this Lyceum Course are: Victor H. Hoppe, of the Expression department; W. C. Weir and E. J. Klemme, of .the Extension department, and Major A. F. Palmer, of the French army. These four men offer a course of quality at a small fee, making the numbers available for any school district. The numbers may be given singly or as a. whole course. The courses are planned to be given at intervals of about one month, thus spreading the course over three or four months. B. S. N. S. Edith R.—"I wisli to ask a question regarding a tragedy."

For a week doubt and fear would hold you almost continually in their grip. How you would hope for and expect letters with every delivery of mail! You would be almost sure that the letter was in the city, the postal service poor and the postman negligent. Is there anyone who cares whether you have food or not? In a few months after, the mountains and valleys of hope and fear, phantom and fact, would assume their right proportions, and the humor and ridiculousness of the situation would afford as much amusement as your previous anxiety caused distress. Then as you, amid bursts of appreciative laughter, humorously related your experience of living for one week on one bowl of soup per day and then add, "You know those bowls of oyster crackers ?" More peals of laughter. Your friends immediately visualize the steady minus a cracker, minus another cracker, minus still another cracker, until only the bowl is left.

C. Phillipi, 916 High Street, last Saturday evening. Sixty members were present, including active members and those out of school. A splendid program was rendered, consisting of a flute solo by Carol Haeske, piano solo, Mabel Miller; a discussion, "The Finished Product," Blanche Cummins; "Philos in the Making," by Mary Wood. A large birthday cake holding twelve lighted candles was brought in. Mi-. Phillipi succeeded in blowing out the candles. The president, Lucien Loring, cut the frst piece and Cleo Baughman, a member of the club since 1914, cut the second. Herbert Hansen '•'clamped his teeth down on the ring," and it wasn't long until Catherine Shepherd was seen wearing it. Bernice Day discovered the thimble which means spinsterhood, and you should have heard Roswell Oliver groan! Milly Young grinned, but didn't say a word, when Arthur Boucher found the darning needle, the insignia of bachelorhood, in his piece. Wealth is forecast for at least one of the Philo members, for Esther Reddick found a dime in her cake. Lucien Loring received high score at a well known Philo game, while Marion Collier won the "booby" prize. The party certainly was one of the most enjoyable events in the history of the club. ALETHIANS. The Alethian Club held its regular business meeting Tuesday. Much important business was discussed. Thursday evening a fine program, illustrative of the country of Sweden-was given. The program was as follows: Roll call—Response with current events. Folk Lore and Customs—Martha Anderson. Folk Songs—Almeda Bowmen. Geography and Government—Ruth Church. Folk Dances—Dorothy Bell, Pearl Stoughton. Important Swedish Characters—Elnora Antrim. The program was followed by a discussion on club activities and it was decided to pledge fifty dollars for the club house on the Lake Whatcom tract.

Each girl was dressed to represent some well-known book. The evening was filled with games, readings, and music. Refreshments were served in the dining-room, which was decorated in green and yellow. All were grateful to the Y. W. C. A. for its generous hospitality. At one of the meetings of the month, Faye Bruneau gave a talk about the work she is soon to take up in South America. She first discussed the customs, climate and characteristics of that country, then she spoke on her special teaching work to be done there. It was a most enjoyable talk and gave a clearer insight into the missionary work in South America. Rev. Taus gave a pleasing talk at the last meeting on the spiritual side of life, which proved an inspiration to all. The Y. W. C." A. held a week of fellowship throughout the country during the clays November 13th to 18th. The week was observed by the Normal Y. W. C. A. by holding prayer services at the noon hour each day. RURAL LIFE CLUB. The Rural Lifers held a short business* meeting November 17. A committee, consisting of Misses Dunnigan, Trosl and Reihman, was appointed to act to nominate officers for next quarter. The business meeting was followed by initiation of new members. Those in charge of the initiation ceremonies were Miss Keeler, Mr. Coughlin, Miss Benson, Miss Abrams, Miss Rosenburg and Mr. Hatley. They proved to be good doctors, barbers and physical education instructors, if one may judge from the way they handled their victims. The victims were: Mrs. Johnson, Miss Rans-weiler, Miss Froost, Miss Jacobson, Miss Provost, Mrs. Zuffel, Miss Nims, Mr. Duke, Mr. Burke, Miss Elliot, Mrs. Bowman, Mrs. Gorril and Miss Sunquist. They all recovered and were able to return to school the next day. An interesting account of an institute in Eastern Washington was given by Mr. Coughlin. He emphasized the interest and enthusiasm shown by teachers attending the institute of whom more than forty were formerly students of this Normal. Mr. Hatley exhibited his talent as a community song leader by directing the "sing." OHIYESAS. The Ghiyesas met Tuesday morning, November 15, for a short business meeting. Miss Bell was elected as honorary member of the club. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 30, when the officers for the next quarter will be chosen. THESPIANS. The next regular meeting of the Thespians will be held next Thursday evening in the club rooms. An unusually fine program has oeen p:anned for tin-; evening. It Beat Him. Two boys were boasting of their father's wealth. "Huh!" said Freddie, "my father is richer than yours. He's rich enough to buy all New York." "That's nothing," answered Eddie.

"Both sessions were very long," reports Mr. Klemme, "lasting from 9 o'clock in the morning until 10 or 12 o'clock at night. The first day of the session was taken up by the executive committee in attending to the business of the Association. O. C. Whitney, auditor of the Association, presented his resignation, because he is leaving the state, and Principal V. K. Froula, of the Broadway high school, of Seattle, was appointed to fill the place. The committee decided on Spokane, Washington, as the headquarters for the W. E. A. convention for next year. The dates selected for the next convention are next September 27, 28 and 29th. A large portion of the time was taken up by initiating the "30-10," for education. This measure has been started by the P. T. A.'s of the state and the business of the executive committee was to attend to the legal side of it. The second day was used for a general meeting. Thirty educators from all over the state were present to meet with the executive committee for advice and for the purpose of planning the program of the initiation of the "30-10." Altogether, the meeting was very interesting and much worth while." Mr. Rice and family were delightfully entertained at Thanksgiving Dinner at the home of Dr. I. E. Miller and wife, last week. Mr. iKibbe and wife entertained several Normal students at dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Institute work has claimed Mr. Weir from the Normal all of this past week.

JohnSpellman's three-pronged proposal to close a remaining $20 million budget deficit will affect Western,acting University President James Talbot said Monday. The manner determining revenue-savingmeasures, meanwhile, has become the object of a Democratic-backed lawsuit. Spellman Fridayannounced he will cut spending an additional $9.6 million, implement a voluntary leave-without-payprogram two days every 11 months for all state employees except public school teachers, and delay allstate employees' paychecks 10 days. The spending cuts â€” directed across-the-board, with theexception of public schools â€” will result in approximately a one-half of 1 percent funding reduction,while the voluntary leave-without-pay program also will affect Western considerably, Talbot said. Butbecause of a "lag payroll" system implemented at Western in 1974, Talbot explained, the delayed pay plan will have no effect here. The latest round of revenue-saving measures comes following a just-completed special session of the Legislature in which Western's budget for the remainder of the 1981-83 bien-nium was sliced by about $1.5 million, or about 4 percent. During the special session,(continued on page 2) Leaving for Wyoming Huston quits; search begins for successor By SCOTTFISK After only one year as head coach of Western's basketball team, Denny Huston is leaving toaccept the top assistant coaching job at the University of Wyoming. But the decision he announced lastFriday was not easy for Huston, who firmly regrets leaving Western so abruptly during the rebuilding of the once cob-webbed program. His enthusiastic efforts during his short stay are responsible for theVikings going from a dismal 4-21. record in 1980-81 to last season's Carver Gym-packing 13-12 mark."By no means was it an easy decision for me," Huston said. "The acceptance of basketball program bythe students and the community in Bellingham has been so tremendous â€” I have allegiance tothem." But Huston also has allegiance to himself. He has definite goals for his career as a coach andthe offer, though as he puts it "came at a bad time," is knit tightly into them. "My decision is primarilyrelated to my professional goal â€” to be an NCAA Division 1 head coach," Huston said. "Taking thisposition is important for me to be in the right circle of coaching for further opportunities. It is unfortunate I guess, that it came so soon after I came here to Western." Wyoming's head coach and long timefriend of Huston, Jim Brandenburg, offered him the position less than a month ago, but at the time,Huston remained uninterested in leaving the budding program behind. "The offer was certainly acomplete surprise, 1 really didn't expect it," Huston said. "But still I wasn't all that interested at thetime." Brandenburg did not quit that easily â€” Huston, by request, flew to Laramie, Wyoming to get abetter look at what he was turning down. It worked. "It was unbelievable," Huston said. "The facilitiesat Wyoming are incredible. They just completed a fieldftouse for basketball that seats 15,000 â€” andpaid for it in cash." Huston said the recruiting possibilities are unlimited; any player the Wyomingstaff wants they can go after. Financial limitations do not exist, unlike at Western. He added for its size,Western has a strong program and should improve in the forthcoming years. "We have eight extremelygood athletes who will play next year," Huston said. "1 don't think the program is lacking in talent atall." While not lacking in talent, Western is lacking a coach, but not for long if plans run accordingly. Aselection committee comprised of Athletic Director Boyde Long, Women's Athletic Director and HeadWomen's Coach Lynda Goodrich, Sports Information Director Paul Madison and CommitteeChairman and Registrar Eugene Omey met Monday morn- Men's basketball coach benny Hustonponders what was *by no means an easy decision' â€” his choice to leave Western for the University ofWyoming. ing, three days after Huston's public announcement. Omey said the officialannouncements for the coaching job will be sent out this week to every college and university inWashington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and California. Applications are due by Aug. 5 and the processselection will take about two weeks.

Darcy Roenfeldt, an 18-year-old sophomore and the only student on the search committee, told the Front Monday she is "distressed by how easily some of thecandidates were dismissed" during the reviewing process. "Females that were applicants weredisqualified because of their lack of administrative experience," Roenfeldt said. Because women andminorities traditionally have been denied administrative opportunities, Roenfeldt said, furtherconsideration should be given to those applicants.

Of the more than 200 applications received to fill the position leftby former president Paul Ols-camp, Roenfeldt said approximately six were women and three or fourwere minorities. "But that in itself is a question," Roenfeldt said. "Why are there so few women andminority applicants?" Peter Elich of the psychology department and vice-chairman of the searchcommittee, said an "active attempt" was made to solicit applications from women and minorities. Elichalso said the search committee is abiding by Affirmative Action guidelines of Washington state andthe federal government. "We give each applicant equal consideration," Elich said, "regardless of age,sex or race." The search committee has reviewed the applications twice, Roenfeldt said, the first timereducing the number of applications to 40 and the second reducing it to 15. Roenfeldt said the number of women and minorities still being considered is "somewhere between almost none and none." "Avery, very sad number," she added. Elich said the search committee wants to get the best presidentpossible for Western. "If the candidate that emerges is black or a woman, then that will be thecandidate we will recommend to the Board of Trustees," he said.

The lawsuit resulted from what the AS board alleges wereviolations of the Washington Open Meetings Act of 1971 that occurred during special meetings andsubsequent executive sessions that should have been open to the public. Murphy called it "unfortunate" that the trustees' recent actions resulted in the lawsuit, but lauded its effectivenss as a means ofmaking the trustees aware of the AS board's seriousness about the matter. "They're aware of ourconcerns now and that, is an accomplishment in itself," he said.

Correction A statement in the Front July 14 concerning the proposed Faculty Club incorrectly was attributed to J. Ronnie Davis, dean of the College of Business and Economics. Thestatement actually was made by dean James Davis of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Frontregrets the error. Roenfeldt rips committee disregard of women (continued from page 1) marked anappropriate yes, no or maybe. Applications that received a high number of "no's" were dismissed,Roenfeldt said. The committee then openly discussed the other applications. Roenfeldt said, althoughshe expressed dismay at the way women and minority applications were processed, to be an"effective member" she could not always speak up. Elich said the search committee is proceeding"effectively and positively" and expects to present four to seven candidates to the Board of Trustees by Sept. 30. The candidates then will come to Western for "public and private" meetings, Elich said. If theschedule is adhered to, the Board of Trustees will select Western's next president by Dec. 31. release the trustees from having to acknowledge "they've done anything wrong," Murphy said. Murphy labeled a potential agreement "the most sensible and practical solution" to the problem and said he felt the ASBoard's action would prove an effective deterrent to a similar incident. "The next time they (the Board ofTrustees) want to call an executive session, they will examine the necessity and appropriateness" ofdoing so, he said. Murphy stressed the importance of reaching an out-of-court settlement, saying "anoverall good faith relationship between the two boards is more important" than the lawsuit. The AS board is searching for a solution to the conflict "that will not carry with it any hostility," he said, adding thatsuch a solution would be "the first step in building a strong relationship with them (the trustees) and thestart of a strong cooperation between the Associated Students and the Board of Trustees." Billingssentenced to 10-year prison term Former Western music department secretary Jean Billings wassentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for embezzling $45,000 while she was employed here. Billings, also known as Jean Greenleaf, pleaded guilty to first-degree theft charges in April. She was arrested inFebruary following a three-week investigation led by Lt. Chuck Page of Western's public safetydepartment. In sentencing Billings, Superior Court Judge Byron Swedberg noted that no evidenceindicated the embezzlement would have stopped had Billings not- been arrested. Billings was allowedtwo weeks to arrange her personal affairs before reporting to the county jail to await transportation toprison, Swedberg ruled. The state Board of Prison Terms and Paroles will set a minimum term forBillings, which will likely be less than Swedberg's sentence. Billings also may be eligible for intensiveparole, which would allow her to leave prison even sooner, Prosecuting Attorney Dave McEach-ran said.Billings, 47, began work at Western in 1971. Prior to her February arrest, she had no criminal record.According to court documents, Billings deposited 18 music department checks into her own bankaccount under a fictitious name between October 31, 1980 and January 1982. The documents alsostated Billings told Page during the investigation she repeatedly had been telephoned by an individualdemanding she request the checks and deposit them into her account.They also stated Billings said shedid not know the identity of the caller nor the whereabouts of the checks after she deposited them. Clarke says world's growth must halt or society will fail A crisis within the next five to ten years will jolt thepublic into' swift economic and political change, David Clarke of Huxley College said in a speech lastweek. Speaking on "Environmental Constraint and World Politics," Clarke said world awareness^ofmankind's problems, coupled with massive information exchange, which would take place in an"information society," would react with a crisis in the near future to produce these changes, Clarke saidindustrial society needs to be replaced by an "information society,"spread by new computercommunications technology. A new world awareness is arising where acknowledgement of constraintin growth must take place, or society will enter the "overshoot and collapse mode."This will occur around the year 2050 unless a stable population and a steady state economy are achieved, Clarke said. Hedescribed the last 400 years as dominated by ceaseless growth, leading to an "cornucopianassumption" that the earth is unlimited in its bounty. "We have to plan our politics and economicsto stay within these limits. The earth has a budget, he said, and a steady state economy would staywithin that budget, which means, for instance, not using more energy than the sun puts out. "We have to recognize that economic growth is suicide," Clarke said. Government and corporate leaders aregradually becoming aware of these things, Clarke said, and the "information society" will disseminatethis knowledge. Reaction to this new awareness may come in the form of overpopulation, disease,starvation, nuclear accidents, or climatic change, Clarke said. "Our task is to recognize we mustassume the future will not continue to be like the present. Our task is to prepare for these changes andgrow clear in our heads what sort of changes there ought to be," Clarke said. * Clarke said world politicshas changed since 1945; governments now use war as a kind of "dialogue," where the deployment oftroops, materiel and munitions is a form of communications. Clarke said, contrary to popular lecturetopics, nuclear holocaust is not imminent, and nations now "pull their punches," not using their biggestweapon. David Clarke Pay delay exempts Western; Democrats challenge new law (continued from page 1) called by Spellman to close a projected deficit of $253 million, the Legislature, through a series oftax increases and budget cuts, was able to account for most of the needed funding. But the Legislatureleft the final $20 million to Spellman's discretion, a move that required a change in the state budget andaccounting act. Previously, a governor only could balance the budget through across-the-board cuts.In the past, targeted cuts were required to be passed by the Legislature. The rule change, which hasbeen considered by some legislators as an abrogation of legislative responsibility, will be challenged incourt by several Democrats, led by Sen. Phil Talmadge (D-Seattle). Talmadge, arguing the changeviolated the state Constitution, announced his court challenge in Seattle yesterday morning. In aphone interview with the Front Monday,. Talmadge wa$ critical of both the law and the manner in which it has been applied, branding it "another example of the Governor and the Republicans' willingness topenalize state employees to the detriment of state services and state institutions." The SeattleDemocrat expressed particular -resentment about the voluntary leave-without-pay proposal, saying itwould be considerably damaging to higher education. "It won't be beneficial for professors to try totake two days off every year," Talmadge said. "Someone has to be there to teach the class. "And it'sthe same in other institutions," he added. "Nurses, doctors, the people that work in mental healthinstitutions and prisons, what's going to happen if they're forced to take days off?" Western FacultySenate President William "Skip" Sailors a,nd Talbot, both referred to the voluntary leave-witbbut-pay plan as a pay cut in disguise. "You can call it what you like, but it's a pay cut," Sailors said. " I t ' stotally unacceptable." Talbot called it "an administrative nightmare," adding the "loyalty at Westernis such that people would probably end up working the two days for free." But despite his criticisms,Talbot said he did not think Western has much to gain from Talmadge's court action. "It's really aquestion of separation of powers," Talbot said. "I guess (granting the power to Spellman) was whatthe Legislature wanted to do." Milt Krieger, head of the local chapter of the American Federation ofTeachers, took a different stance. Although he said he had not had a chance to fully examine the courtaction, he said he supports the general idea. "That makes a lot of sense â€”the stronger the actionright away, the better," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 July 21 - Page 3 ---------- WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1982 WESTERN FRONT 3 Dahl challenges Fiske Fox, Lundquist exchangeearly blows By JEFF KRAMER With hopes of ousting two solidly Republican representatives from their40th district enclave in November, an "outraged" political science professor along with a former Westernstudent already are stoking the fires of pre-election controversy. "The reason I'm running is because I am outraged at what the Republicans are doing," Western political science professor and contender forposition 2 of the 40th legislative district Charles Fox said Monday. "There is no reason why this districtshould be represented by Republicans. Most of the people here are working folks and the Republicansdon't represent working class people." Fox is matched up against Homer Lundquist (R-Burlington)who, after some hesitation as to the desirability of serving a second term, announced his candidacylast week. The GOP slate will be completed by Hep. Pat Fiske (R-Mount Vernon), another second termseeker. Neither of the incumbents is considered a big spender when it comes to tax dollars and both are generally pleased with the conservative turn state government has taken in the last 18 months. "I amabsolutely convinced that the direction state government has taken in the last year is correct," Lundquist said Monday. But Democratic candidate Astrid Dahl, a recent Western graduate and a long shot pick to wrest Fiske from position 1, had less kind words to describe the accomplishments of the GOP-dominated Legislature. Speaking by telephone Friday from her Mount Vernon home, Dahl condemnedRepublicans for tying the state's tax base too closely with the economy. "For years, the Republicanshave said all we need is good business management," Charles Fox Dahl said. "Now the state isbankrupt." Equating the state's tax system with a "roller coaster ride," Dahl said she favors consideringall tax proposals for their feasibility and giving citizens a chance to vote on them. She cited an incometax as an example of a measure that should be put to the voters. If victorious, Dahl would be a newcomer to the legislative arena but she said she is not concerned about charges of inexperience, saying anynew legislator has to rely on "on-the-job training." Though considered an underdog to Fiske Dahlasserted she would not be running if she did not think she could win, adding "his Homer Lundquist(Fiske) voting record may be one of our best resources." Fiske 5 unavailable for comment Monday,;.sknown to be leery of a state income tax, particularly the flat-rate type that has generated considerableattention recently. In the past, he has asked for a long-term search to find more stable sources ofrevenue and noted the financial difficulties faced by those states that employ such a tax. Contrary to thecomplaints of Fox and Dahl, Fiske has said he does not think the Legislature has trimmed the budgetexcessively. Lundquist, however, did concede that one state institution, higher education, has "borne adisproportionate share of the j load." â€¢ Meanwhile, Fox, like Dahl, was also highly uncomplimentary of the present means of revenue collection. In a two-page press release, Fox called for an end to "unfairand inequitable taxes," and charged House Republicans with "representing their friends, not the majorityof the population." He also accused "overly loyal" members of â€¢ the majority party of succumbing tooeasily to the whims of GOP leadership. "A lifted eyebrow and a crooked finger carry more weight thanreason, facts and careful deliberation," Fox wrote. Lundquist countered by blaming the state's financial woes on what he called "squanderous spending" by previous legislatures and went so far as toquestion Fox's knowledge of the issue. "I think that Dr. Fox has not studied the (revenue) problem anddoesn't understand the difficulties, nor does he understand the inadequacies of his proposal." Thecorporate income tax, supported by Fox, would cost the state's economy around $200 million, Lundquistadded. The Mount Vernon Republican was especially defensive of Fox's assertion that Housemembers excessively acquiesced to pressure from caucus leadership. He called the charge "totallyinaccurate of the facts" and noted after 18 months he had "the latitude" to make his own decisions. Inretrospect, Lundquist was highly complimentary about the efforts of retiring House Majority LeaderWilliam Polk and lamented his departure. "The loss of a man with his charisma, experience and abilitywill certainly be felt strongly," Lundquist said, adding, however, he feels he can support "most of thephilosophies" of other individuals who have worked closely with Polk in the past. Regents lobby approvaldoubted By LESLIE NICHOLS Donna Christensen SEATTLE â€” The University of Washington finallyhas ratified its Washington Student Lobby (WSL) petition, but UW Associated Students PresidentDonna Christensen Friday said "it wouldn't surprise me" if the UW Board of Regents refused to approvethe petition. Following the Board of Regents meeting Christensen told the Front although volunteerscollected more than the necessary 51 percent of signatures, "they (the signatures) mean absolutelynothing to the regents." She conceded the signatures add weight to the proposal, but that publicpressure from legislators, !t3 i schools and newspapers may help encourage the regents to approve thepetition. "By not approving some type of student lobby, they will look extremely bad," Christensen said.If ratified by all state and regional universities, funds contributed by students would set up a permanentlobby in Olympia to protect student interests. Christensen listed two concerns some regents gave asreasons for a possible veto of the petition, including the type of funding system used and the mannerin which issues to be discussed by the lobbyists would be selected. The regents oppose a negativecheck-off system, requiring students to check a box on the tuition form if they do not wish to contribute $ 1 to the WSL, and a mandatory refund system, enabling the students to request a refund of thedollar fee automatically included in their tuition payment. They favor a positive check-off system thatasks students to mark a box on the tuition form if they want to donate $1 to the lobby. But Christensencriticized the idea of such a system, saying it would mean "less money for us." "The difference betweenthe positive and negative systems is apathetic students," she said, expressing concern that "withthe positive system students won't pay and with the negative system they will" because most will be too apathetic to bother _ checking, the, "negative" box on a tuition form.

When dealing with the regents at the nextmeeting, the students will .negotiate on the fee mechanism agreement, but "we will not have the regents telling us what we can and cannot discuss," she said. Meanwhile, a 20 percent sample of the 16,885collected signatures is being audited to verify its validity. Christensen said a sample of that size is"statistically sound" and expressed confidence enough signatures would be acceptable to assureratification. Make your feet feel healthy, wealthy and wise.

Legislative budget bulletscontinue to rain down from Mount Olympia like so much post-special-session champagne, and tofurther disorient the above mentioned coalition, an imminent repose seems unlikely. This information,while hardly new, is worth disseminating as audibly as possible because those who sleep blissfully bythe open gate of higher education remain oblivious to the chaos inside. Their slumber is enhanced by adreamy, comfortable attachment to a detrimental half-truth that our schools are somehow better off ifthey are overflowing and any measure threatening enrollment figures is taboo. Parts of their argumentare justified. Any policy that inhibits or prevents a capable, serious individual from attending a public institution of higher learning is obviously highly objectionable. But the "right" to attend college becomes substantially more debatable when dealing with another group: those "students" who drift throughacademia without purpose or interest, the ones who "just get by," the ones who come to schoolprimarily to party and for little else. Interestingly, these types are most adamant about their right toattend school. The money often comes Jeff Kramer from Mom and Dad enabling them to justify theirlethargy with a brash "At least I'm not on financial aid" qualification. But to those who pay taxes in thisstate, academic freeloaders of this sort are a far more serious liability than the educationally-inclinedfinancial aid recipient. Whether a student is academically capable and regardless where a student'stuition comes from, taxpayers, an increasingly tightfisted and ornery bunch, foot 75 percent of our higher education tab. Consequently, the taxpayers' message may ring clearer than the open-gate people would wish to admit â€” taxpayers simply may be asking for what any shrewd investor seeks â€” theirmoney's worth. And the fact that many of them are not rallying to the defense of higher education maypoint to some flaws in academia's ability to live up to the bargain. Perhaps it has just grown tooexpensive for John Q. Public to continue financing wholesale degrees which lose their meaning in anoverly crowded context. Perhaps we have reached a point where it is time to begin exercising a bit morediscretion as to who is allowed to enter and remain in the high priced land of academia. Even the "open-gaters" must realize some persons are meant to be here and others, frankly, are not. The failure torecognize this, simple albeit unpopular tenet of reality is to allow the integrity of our institutions to sufferin the name of numbers. Such a fate, with diminished opportunities to excel for those with the ability,can not help but contradict the fundamental ideal of a meaningful, quality education. Huston's leaving but lessons remain The untimely and unexpected resignation of Western's fine basketball coach, DennyHuston, comes as a painful disappointment to the many who effusively embraced both him and histeam. In his much too brief stint here, Huston managed to infuse Western with a sense of gamesmanship and pride, a monumental task considering the widespread athletic indifference that greeted him hereonly one year ago. From the onset of his arrival, Huston took steps to hoist Western into the forefront ofcompetitiveness. He immediately established himself as a tireless and discriminating recruiter, a first rate promoter, fund raiser and ardent salesman of Western, its people and the surrounding area. And then,through an exciting blend of enthusiasm and break-neck basketball, Huston made Carver Gym the placeto be winter evenings. In perhaps his greatest promotional accomplishment, he sold the merits ofwinning to a school known to balk at even its most successful teams. Huston's exit, therefore, to theUniversity of Wyoming, is especially disturbing to optimists who saw him as the Messiah of an athleticrenaissance at Western. But it is important for the disenchanted to realize that now is an inappropriatetime to revert to athletic cynicism. Certainly, the administration's failure to keep the talented coach inBellingham for more than one year is somewhat demoralizing. It would be easy, in fact, to construe theloss as passive acceptance of mediocrity. Actually, however, the opposite is true. That Huston's talentswere actively sought and obtained by others is more than just a testimony to the economic realities of life. It is a compliment both to Huston and to the people who brought him here in the first place. Thus, withthe precedent of excellence already set, it is reasonable to expect the administration and the athleticdepartment will take steps to preserve what Huston will leave behind. An outstanding basketball teamreturns, bolstered by a banner recruiting year and brimming with expectations of another successfulseason. Those players, as well as their fans, are deserving of a coach who can recognize and appeal tothe enthusiasm Huston created. True, the fast-breaking Huston is leaving to try his wares elsewhere, but cynics shouldrealize tfiat'hehas hot abandoned Western completely. Rather, he has left a figurativeathletic ball in our court. Let us not allow it to deflate. Tough laws needed The recent implementation oftougher drunk driving standards in this state, it is hoped, portends an era in which violators are treatedmore like potential killlers and less like petty offenders. Drunk drivers do indeed kill people and theydeserve no better treatment than other criminals who extinguish human life. Like too many other facetswithin our legal system, we have tended to look out for the welfare of drunk drivers far more than than that of the victims. Unfortunately, their victims often do not get a second chance to look out for themselves.Drunk drivers should be reprimanded fully in line with the nature of their crime. An alcohol-related fatalityshould not be treated differently than any other case of manslaughter. Other drunken driving chargesshould be regarded as potentially homicidal. Locally, at least, judges appear to be taking the mandate for deterring drunken drivers seriously. In recent weeks, several local judges have levied stiffer-than-usualfines and punishments in alcohol-related violations. For too long, in the case of all violent crimes, therights of the offender has been placed before those of the victim. This is a trend we hope is starting tochange.

Trio presents novel musical blend By GREG COWAN Western's onlysummer concert, featuring three superb musicians, will take place tomorrow evening at the Performing-Arts Center Concert Hall. lt;â€¢â€¢ â€¢â€¢-' â€¢*.'.--â€¢â€¢â€¢'â€¢- Windham Hill recording artistsScott Cossu, Michael Hedges and David Qualey will present a blend of seamless, quiet piano andacoustic guitar music. Cossu, 31, is a Seattle-based pianist/composer/arranger and the "mostfamiliar and easiest liked" musician of the three, Summer Program co-director Howard Levin said.Cossu recently completed a national tour and has a rapidly selling second album titled "Wind Dance."His music can be described as somewhere between jazz, classical and easy-listening. Legendarypianist George Winston produced Wind Dance and Alex de Grassi accompanied Cossu with guitar onthe album. The album represents Windham Hill's strongest move thus far into the field of ensemble jazz. Windham Hill is a small, creative recording label that is building an increasing reputation for finerecording artists and.state-of-the-art recording techniques. High-quality photo art on album covers anddouble-laminated record sleeves are characteristics that set Windham Hill apart from other smallcompanies. Michael Hedges, 29, started his unique finger-picked guitar compositions in 1970, after an era of playing in high school rock bands. Hedge's only album, "Breakfast in the Field," reveals amultiplicity of experimental guitar strokes and harmonics. Hedges may be the "most interesting of the three (musicians) in that he plays a whole range of music," Levin said. Qualey, an American residing in Germany,is the "least familiar, most mainstream" of the musicians' Levin said. Qualey has gained much respect in music circles of Germany, Levin said. His album, "Soliloquy,"displays a flawless ability toplay guitar in mainstream folk and jazz style. At $4 a ticket, the concert is an "incredible deal," Levinsaid. Cossu performed with Alex de *Grassiat the'Universfty of Washington last year. Tickets were $8 for that performance. Although ticket sales were initially sluggish, Levin estimated several hundred peoplewould attend the Western concert. An advertising budget of $500 was allotted to insure a healthy sizedcrowd. Qualey will open the concert with a solo set. Hedges will follow with a solo set and will thencombine with Cossu for the final set. The evening will be solely musical with all original songs. "Itshould be a long concert," Levin promised," A unique opportunity to hear some pure music." Theconcert is" Thursday at 8:15 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the VU InformationDesk, Budget Tapes and Records and at the door. Scott Cossu, pianist/composer/arranger, performshere tomorrow. Billions tune in soccer while U.S. tunes out COMMENTARY By JEFF WINSLOW What happens every four years, has participants from almost every country in the world, sparks riots,induces dancing in the streets and joyous traffic jams (especially in Italy), promotes soccer and isobserved by billions of people around the world during a four week affair? Unless you are totally obtuse or have absolutely no interest in sports, you know the answer is the World Cup soccer tournament,which took place in Spain this year. You also may or may not know that this year's Cup, which I kepttrack of with keen interest and enthusiasm, was decided, very decisively, by the Italian national team with their 3-1 victory over the West Germans. To most Americans, a soccer tournament probably is notnews and I suppose that is all right; I do not want anyone to force me to watch baseball or football (red,white and blue sports). And I would not force anyone to watch soccer. But because soccer is muchmore entertaining and exciting than baseball and football, you do not get bored watching someoneadjust his wide-brimmed cap or two groups of armour-clad gladiators bashing into each other for a fewseconds after standing around for a minute or two between bashes. Now that I have labeled myself apinko fag for having put down two of the United States' greatest sports, I had better justify my preferencefor soccer. A total of 24 teams from countries as varied as the Soviet Union, Kuwait, Chile andCameroon participated in 64 games. And big names in international soccer, such as Brazil, England andArgentina, were on hand to dazzle fans with their skill and agility. What other tournament could matchthe cross-town rivalry of Poland vs. the Soviet Union, with Poland winning, or the possibility of a gamefeaturing England in one corner and Argentina in the other? Were there big upsets, you ask? Well, Italysqueaked through the first round looking very shabby with three ties and one win only to pull a fast oneon Brazil, ousting the Cup favorites 3-2 in a classic match, then beat West Germany in the finals. WorldCup tournaments have taken place every four years since 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when the worldwas too busy to play silly games. And now that the 1982 Cup is history, the Federation of InternationalFootball (purists' name for soccer) Associations has asked Colombia to host the next Cup. But theColombian president-to-be has said he will not finance the tournament so the United States may bechosen to host the 1986 World Cup. That would be great. For the first time in my life, I could actually goto a World Cup match instead of watching it on television. It also would be terrible. The United States, acountry of more than 200 million people, would host the Cup even though it would be unable to field ateam, unless 1986 is a magic year and we find 11 soccer players talented enough to make it to thetournament. If the United States does host the Cup, Americans are going to have to support soccermore than they do now. One of the hardest tasks in gaining support is introducing the game to diehardbaseball and football fans. We at least got a start two weekends ago when ABC Television broadcastthe final game of the Cup. For those people who missed the tournament, please allow me the pleasure of introducing a good friend of billions of people â€”World Class Soccer, meet the United States. Why don't you two break the ice while I round up a few players? But you better hurry, we have only four yearsleft till the next World Cup. ---------- Western Front - 1982 July 21 - Page 7 ---------- WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1982 WESTERN FRONT 7 Baby Ms playing hardball to make the major league By SETH PRESTON â€¢ The lanky blond youth watched as his blue-clad Bellingham Marinerteammates went through their pre-game drills. "I wasn't too good of a student in high school," DarrellBickers said. "1 got drafted in a good round, the 11th, so 1 figured I had a chance. I just wanted thatchance to play." Bickers, a shortstop straight from high school in Charlottesville, VA., is like numerousother young baseball players nationwide â€” he hopes to work his way through the minor leagues for anopportunity to play in the majors someday. It is a gamble many will take, but few will win. But with the high salaries being demanded â€” and received â€” by professional athletes, the risk is seen as worthtaking. "Guys this age don't have anything better to do, so why not try it for a couple of years?"Bellingham Manager Jeff Scott said, "They can afford to take a chance with pay scales the way they are. There's enough incentive to take a shot. "Besides, look at these guys who want to be brain surgeons.How many of them make it?" Scott asked. "Making it in any profession is a gamble." The players are not the only ones speculating on the future. The parent organization, the Seattle Mariners, is willing to invest time and resources in their minor league clubs in hopes of eventually producing major league athletes."Sure, you're taking a risk that you'll come up with one good player," Bellingham General Manager Spedo Southas said. While Seattle pays the wages for the players and coaching staff, plus basic materials, the Bellingham club must pay the rest. Each player is allotted $11 a day for meals while on road trips;travelling arrangements also must be paid for. Past an 18 player limit, Seattle picks up the tab for each additional player and reimburses Bellingham $8 of the $11 for the first 18. Coming Up Sometimes,however, a time lag occurs before the money comes in. "It's a big gamble for us," Southas said. "We'rethe ones that take a beating if we don't bring in the funds." Money is raised through ad-selling for gameprograms and fence signs, as well as through concessions, admissions and promotions sponsored bylocal businesses. The players have to contend with paying their own Way while not on the road. Most,like Bickers, do not sign large contracts at the beginning of their careers. "We get about $250 every twoweeks (after taxes)," Bickers said. "We have to pay rent out of our salaries. It's hard to make ends meet. . .you have to buy all the little things." Bickers was told he had to come to Bellingham as the first steptoward a possible professional career. He grinned and said, "When they told me that, I said 'What?' I hadto look up Bellingham in an encyclopedia. I had no idea where it was." But leaving home to travelacross the nation to some strange town is hard on anyone. "It's the first time I've been away, and the first time I've flown, too." His smile-faded and Bickers was silent. Bickers' experience is shared by manyothers his age, some traveling from far-away places such as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.Some cannot speak English, which only deepens their loneliness and homesickness. Also, playing 70games in 72 days adds new pressures. Dreams die hard,, however, and with four former BellinghamMariners currently on the Seattle roster, struggling minor leaguers can see a reason for hope. "You'll seemore (players from Bellingham)," Scott said. "We've had some good kids here." The incentive is in theform of a lucrative contract, which would make the earlier trials pay off â€” literally. "It's a big pot at theend of the rainbow," Scott said. As Darrell Bickers sees it, he could be one of those who cashes in onhis gamble. "Sure, I've got a chance," he said. It is all anyone can ask for.

They were participating in the four-week workshop that is takingplace at Western. Bright pupils attend workshop By BARBARA SCABAROZI About 130 studentsentering grades seven through ten will sample higher education at Western this summer. A four-weekscience workshop began July 12 for highly-motivated students in marine biology, computer science,physics and chemistry. Sponsored by the Center for Continuing Education and the science faculty, the workshop is a pilot program in cooperation with Educational Seryiqe. District 189. . Althoughworkshops fiaye Been offered in the past, none were of this scope, Eva McGinnis of Western'sContinuing. Education Department said. Four Western professors said they are excited by theopportunity to work with the youngsters. Keith Craswell of Western's math department said he hastaught high school before on a part-time basis. Radio Shack has loaned four TRS-80 computers toWestern for the computer science class. The TRS-80 uses LOGO language, a new geometriclanguage that draws pictures by moving a point, called a "turtle," across the screen. Craswell said thatwith this modern equipment, students can achieve in only four weeks a proficiency that requires a fullquarter in Computer Science 210. Six students are assigned to each computer, but for the fourth weekof the session Radio Shack has promised a total of 10 computers. That class will be more advanced and with only two students working on each TRS-80 they can write their own games, Craswell said. JohnWhitmer of Western's chemistry department prepared simple chemistry experiments and electrical circuit displays for his chemistry/ physical science class. He said he substitute-taught this age group beforeand had 12 students learning about atomic and molecular structure last week. A van is taking the marinebiology class to Sundquist Marine Laboratory in Anacortes each day this week. The lab is administeredby Western for seven Washington state colleges and universities. Jerry Flora of Western's biologydepartment taught high school in Florida. He said the workshop students will benefit from low tidesthis week. "They'll gather beach specimens, fish, dredge and haul plankton," Flora said. And inside thelab, microscopes, sea tables, aquaria and a drying oven are some of the equipment they will use.Richard Yawter of Western's physics/astronomy department is sharing his knowledge with theyoungsters this week. He plans to use an air track as one demonstration of the laws of physics. A cart moves along a frictionless track allowing students to make precise measurements. Vawter hadexperience teaching high school students in other summer workshops. Most of the students enrolled inthe ses-~ sions are from Whatcom and Skagit counties. Young students speak turtle at science school The excited hoots and hollers could be heard half-way down the hall of the Environmental Studiesbuilding. Two-by-three-foot signs in a classroom advertised "Turtlemania" and 20 youngsters wore "Ispeak Turtle" badges. They gathered around four computer controls as one student operated eachconsole. On a 21-inch color television a stick figure flew out of a cannon, performed a myriad ofsomersaults, then splashed into a water tank. "This is the only academic class I've enjoyed," MikeDodgen, a ninth-grader from Meridian said. "It's the first time I ever came close to a computer and by 9:30 this morning, 1 was already programming it." The LOGO language being used to teach the junior andsenior high students was developed at Massachusetts Institute of ^ Technology (MIT), instructor KeithCras- Â§ well said. It makes concepts of programming Â«- simple. The pointer or "turtle," is givenseveral basic commands to move. A command of consecutive 90 degree right turns produced a spiralthat quickly filled the screen. Seeing their commands instantly translated into visual action made itdifficult for many of the students to say what was the most fun. On the other side of Western, a smokysmell permeated a classroom in Haggaro Hall, but the atmosphere was definitely electric. Twelvestudents manipulated wire, clay, light bulbs and batteries to make simple electrical circuits. But thereaction of sodium in water and burning magnesium and copper was the best part of the week in theopinions of Lynden students Steven Lindell, Jim Hubbard and Brian Vancleek. One participant travelledfrom New York to attend the workshop. Eight-grader Eddie Klapper's grandparents heard about thesummer session and asked him to come. Don Kruger, a Bellingham eighth-grader, said of the workshop,"It's interesting, but we don't play with enough explosives." Two juniors from Sehome High School,Stephanie Wood and Wendy Ershig, were the oldest students and the only girls in the class. Althoughthey had done several of the experiments before in school, both said they liked the workshop.AMCTCAS STEAK PCPOT 209 No. Samish Bellingham, WA 98225 phone 734-0870 Hours: Sun.-Thurs. 6:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 6:30 a.m. - 1 1 p.m. No Smoking Section Available Beer WineAvailable jf ( The Ultimate Combination j)= Steak Lobster $ 8.95 U.S.D.A.

'Right-Hans' man Brisch hopes he s top job pick The right-hand man to the presidentof the University of Nebraska, who would like to be Former an chairman dies at 62 James Wiley Bosch,former chairman of the anthropology department, died Thursday evening of heart failure at ProvidenceHospital in Seattle. Dr. Bosch, 62, came to Western in 1967. He was named acting chairman of theanthropology department in 1967 and chairman in March 1977. Dr. Bosch had been on sick leave sinceMay 1981. Dr. Bosch originally was from South Gate, Calif. He received his bachelor of arts from SanFrancisco State College and his master's degree and doctorate from Stanford University. He worked as aresearch social scientist at Oregon State Hospital in Salem before coming to Western. Non-denominational services took place Monday at Campus Christian Ministry? Nearly 100 people attendedthe service. Angelo Anastasio of the anthropology department described Dr. Bosch as a dedicatedscholar and a "warm, compassionate, generous man," who liked to challenge "half-baked ideas" and"generalities." A former student of Dr. Bosch's said she would remember how his door always was openfor students. Other friends and colleagues described Dr. Bosch as "dedicated to young people." Dr.Bosch is survived by his wife, Mabel, two daughters and a grandson. Memorials may be sent to theAmerican Heart Association. the top administrator at Western, will visit here later this week. Presidential finalist Hans Brisch is scheduled to arrive in Bellingham late Wednesday for a two-day tour of Western. Currently associate executive vice president and provost, and executive assistant to the president atNebraska, the Germany-bom Brisch is described by colleagues there as a "good detail person."Brisch coordinates faculty-administrator affairs and acts as a "go-between" in matters within Nebraska'slarge governance system, said -Larry Walkin, president of the school's Faculty .

Said illegal Secret evaluation files miff facultyByKIRKERlCSON The knowledge that copies of student evaluations of faculty have been made and kepton file has kindled indignant reactions :from a number of professors. June Ross of the biologydepartment presented a strongly worded memo to the Faculty Senate Oct. 25 asking the executivecommittee to look into the matter at its next meeting. The confidential files have been kept for years inthe testing center. But many faculty just realized a few weeks ago that the copies exist. Ross'smemo stated, "The student evaluations are faculty's property and the making of a secret copy andkeeping it on file is illegal. The violation. is outrageous." Ross became aware of the existence of thecopies after reading a release from the testing center saying a copy of faculty evaluations will bekept in the faculty member's file. The main . complaint of a number of faculty, Ross said, is that theyhad no idea the testing center was making copies. "We've been led to'believe that the studentevaluations were solely the property of the faculty," Ross said. "Most of the people I've talked to did notknow copies were being made." Thomas Read of the math department echoed Ross's indignation. â€¢"I had always had the impress-sibn that the only copy was that given to the faculty," Read said. "Ihaven'! taken a formal poll or anything but I have a strong feeling that most of the faculty were caughtby surprise." Currently the only use of the evaluations, besides giving instructors information on their,teaching technique, is to help decide whether faculty should be given tenure or promotion. Rossexpressed fear that the copies could be used secretly by the administration to determine the future offaculty members in the course of budget cuts. "They've been trying to establish this evaluationprocedure as highly confidential so why would, they make copies of it?" Ross asked. But Don Blood,director of the testing center, said he would never release a faculty member's file without their request."Even if the president asked for it I couldn't," he said. Pointing to a paragraph in Western's Policy andProcedures manual Blood emphasized that (Continued on page 7) ---------- Western Front - 1982 November 2 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, November 2, 1982 Program review team proposes criteria to decide Western'sfate By LOR1 McGRIFF Academic Program Review Committee members Friday tossed ideas back and forth about ,'what criteria should be used to decide the fate of programs and .departments at Western. ' For-three hours the eight committee members discussed (Stacks of university statistics, itheirresponsibilities and how to :decide what constitutes program elimination. No conclusion on what criteria to use, however, was reached. The members were to meet at 7 a.m. today to again discuss possiblecriteria. The committee, formed about a month ago as part of the university wide review process, isscheduled to submit criteria before Nov. 15 by which programs may be enhanced, reduced,consolidated or eliminated. The Faculty Senate is to review them. Several criteria were suggested bythe members, but discussion was suppressed on most of the items until a later date. Among thoseproposed are: â€¢essentialityâ€”that essential to the role of the university â€¢cost effectivenessâ€¢undergraduates served â€¢demand for courses (current and potential) â€¢need â€¢ "uniqueness"Harvey Gelder â€¢quality â€¢job placements of graduates â€¢if attracting intellectually superiorstudents â€¢ "cultural breadth"â€”offers cultural courses significant to society â€¢number ofextracurricular programs offered â€¢requirements students must meet before being accepted as amajor. The only proposal receiving fie.ry debate was "quality." Music professor Bruce Pullan requestedthe word ".quality" not be used, because it's so hard to decide what quality is. Â» Geology ProfessorChris Suc-zek disagreed. "I cringe at the thought that we only will be concerned with other things and quality won't matter." Quantitative data such as the number of students being taught don't mean aprogram or department is doing a good job, she said. Perhaps the word shouldn't be used, she said, but the quality still should be examined. Ron Johnson- of' academic counseling brought up the problemof trying to develop criteria for deciding the quality of a program. The campus community would have tobe made aware of how quality was being defined, he said. Harvey Gelder, emeritus faculty member andchairman of the committee, said he will meet with Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul Ford thisweek to talk about some of the confusing parts of the committees' responsibilities. Questions wereraised about the need for approval of the criteria by the Faculty Senate, what the mission of theuniversity is and if the committee is supposed to plan for the long term or just to survive the budgetcrunch. Gelder said he would try to clear these problems up as soon as possible^ Big UW cuts haveno parallel here, James Talbot says News of programs targeted for elimination rocked the University ofWashington last week, but students need not fear a similar bombshell announcement here. UWofficials announced Thursday that 29 programs have been slated for extinction. Pro- - vost GeorgeBeckmann made the announcement following months of examining how to deal with funding cutbacksduring the past year. Beckmann's announcement, Western's Acting University President JamesTalbot says, marks the end of a process similar to the one just beginning here. "It's not a comparablesituation," Talbot said of the decision that will cost about 30 tenured faculty at the UW their jobs.Western's program review committeesâ€”charged with plotting the long-term future of theuniversityâ€”were formed last month, following a proposal introduced by Talbot to the Board of Trusteesin August. The two committees aren't scheduled to make any recommendations to Talbot until Febuary. Talbot said administrators at the UW conducted their review process quite differently. Unlike the reviewcommittees here, Talbot said, the procedure at the UW largely was shielded from public scruntiny."We've given (the review committees) the charge and they will do it in the limelight, "Talbot said."Nobody needs to fear that two or three administrators are going to sit around in a smoke-filled room,and come out with an announcement. That's not the way we do buisiness." Talbot added, however, thatreview committee meetings open to the public tend to "limit the ideas that can be expressed." -Beckmann announced that the UW College of Arts and Sciences will eliminate the departments ofdance, music education, art education, child drama, nutritional sciences and textiles, kinesiology andnear eastern languages and literature. Several other degree programs are headed for the chopping block, including dental hygiene in the School of Dentristry and outdoor recreation in the College of ForestResources.

GILBERT Reaganism's end 'inevitable'â€”expert ByERIC DANIELSON The demise of the Reagan administration's economic policy will lead to moreplanning in the economy, a noted political scientist said here last week. - "It is inevitable that Reaganismwill fail, Ed Greenberg of the University of Colorado said. "It will not work because the budgets are notsmaller. The greatest deficits in history have simply moved from domestic to military spending."Greenberg went on to predict that as an ever-widening range of groups feel the budget-cutting knife,public sentiment will turn against Reaganomics. President Reagan's own ranks are rebelling againsthim now, Greenberg said, listing Vice President George Bush and Budget DirectorDavid Stockmanamong those' who are beginning to question the president's policies. Greenberg's theories are basedon his belief that the U.S. government's primary role is the protection of capitalist institutions. Twosets of activities are involved in this, what he calls accumulation and "legitimation." Accumulation isthe overseeing of the nation's economic health while "legitimation" is the preservation of socialharmony. These could be more simply termed economic and political policy, he said. He believes thetwo are dependent on each other for success, but that Reagan has chosen to ignore public support andconcerns himself only with economic efficiency. "Reagan believes that accumulation is its ownlegitimation. I like to call this-nineteenth century romanticism," Greenberg said. Historically,Greenberg says, capitalism has developed in stages. He calls the years from 1946 to 1974 the period oftriumphant Keynesian economics â€” the emergence of the American Empire built upon the economiccollapse of its pre-war trade rivals. A time of continuous economic growth, it climaxed during the1960s in the form of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society." But the economy that promised and deliveredboth guns and butter worked only for a while, Greenberg said. "We will never return to that period even if the Democrats win this election," he said. Since Watergate, Greenberg said, the United States hasbeen in a period of shambles between legitimate economic systems. The old is gone, but the new isyetto arrive, he said. The left and the right of the political spectrum have failed to deal successfully withAmerica's current economic problems, he said. "Continued drift in public policy shifting wildly andan out-of-control economy" will characterize the immediate future, Greenberg said. This will cause"alternatingv electoral landslides with the in-power party suffering massive defeats," he said. With thediscredit of both liberal and conservative policy, Greenberg said he sees neo-liberalism, such as whateconomist Lester Thurow promotes, as the only solution. Thurow calls for a greater degree of planning "The next phase of capitalism must be planning if it is to be kept alive. Even when modern capitalism isworking it is an act of folly, drowning itself in its own affluence and exhausting resources," he said. ,Increased government intervention in a coherent manner would be much better than the unplannedintervention used now, which Greenberg says causes economic chaos. Greenberg says he sees abenign form of socialism similar to the system in France with a corporate-government partnership suchas what Japan uses, as necessary for survival of capitalism in the United States. Greenberg's speechwas part of the Pacific Northwest Political Scientists Association conference. ---------- Western Front - 1982 November 2 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, November 2, 1982 Western Front 3 GRAPHIC BY MASARU FUJIMOTO Rocks!' Dangers fail to quench climbers' thirst for adventure, challenge Front copy editor Scott Fisk and 25 others, mostlyWestern students, attempted Oct. 16 to climb the North Twin Sister, eight miles southwest of MountBaker. The climb was organized by the Outdoor Program, and preparation included proper clothing,gear, rope and ice ax practice. But, as Fisk explains, some things climbers can't learn from others.Some things only the mountain can teach. By SCOTT FISK "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day,teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime." Our group of 26 climbers, stretching for a quarter of a mile,ascends the North Twin Sisters mountain. A dense fog descends on us. The 10 percent chance of rainwe heard about on the weather reports the previous night turns into a drizzleâ€”then snow. Thetemperature drops severely enough for all of us to put on extra clothing. "Rocks! Rocks!" The cry, usedin the mountains to warn others of falling debris, is followed by an immense, gut-numbing roar. It soundslike the demolition of a building or the amplification of the ocean breaking against a cliff-lined shore. Ihave never heard anything like it before. I can't see the rock slide, but I hear the screams for help. Ledby Bill Wickstrom, our rope team of four scrambles over a small rock ridge that separates us from wherethe sounds of the slide came. A 20-foot-wide strip of the snow field is brown and strewn with rocks where the slide flew down the mountain. "Who's hurt? Is everyone okay"? we shout to each other. I see theoutline of someone lying face down in the mud-drenched snow at least 50 feet below the climb's traverse. It is Clare Ryan, who was on the fourth rope team. People call to her and ask her if she can move, ifshe is all right. They tell her to wait. Immediately Wickstrom and other leaders unrope and make theirway down to Ryan, whose head is bobbing in the dense fog. First aid reaches her. I am not sure of theextent of her injuries. She seems okay and words of "nothing is broken" are passed from person toperson. I feel relief, yet each glance up into the fog and snow-covered rocks sends my thoughts inward. I try to realize what has happened. Dave Waddelâ€”his face is flushed, his eyes filled with shockâ€”says, "The rock that came downâ€”in my 10 years of climbing, I've never seen one come down that was thatbig. I can't believe everyone is all right." It's decided that everyone is to go downâ€”immediately. The twogroups behind mine disappear in the fog and start down. Suddenly, another bone jarring sound. Anotherslide lets loose, heading toward where the two groups have descended. The screams coming from beloware more intense this time. I am sure someone has been hurt very badly. "Help me! I'm paralyzedâ€”Ican't move!" someone shouts. A few muffled shouts follow, then.. . Silence. Standing between the tworock slides now, unsure who is hurt and how badly, my only thoughts are of how real everythingsuddenly seems. I don't think it's panic or fear I am filled with. Instead it's the sheer awe of what has justhappened and what might happen next that fills each passing thought. Minutes seem like hours as Istand and wait. The waiting gnaws deeper than the cold wind that pounds my face with snow.i Visibilityis getting worse. I wring the water out of my wool gloves and shake shivers from my spine. We are going down. We are getting off the mountain. We follow where the second slide came down. I can't seeanyone other than the four on my rope. One of the leaders, Steve Winslow, joins our rope, leavingWickstrom behind to attend to Ryan. I hear shouts from below that everyone is okay, but I am not sure.The fear stimulated by the screams is not erased by the reassuring information. Within 10 to 15 minutes we are down, at the base where we had eaten lunch and practiced climbing techniques. Huddled behind a boulder is Adam Jameson, his face battered and his lip bloody. A baseball-size lump bulges out fromunder the right forearm of his raincoat. His other arm, limp, hangs at his side. "It's broke," he said. "Idodged two rocks, then the third hit me. My other arm .. .I'm not sure. I can't move it. I'm okay. I'm okay.' We reassure him. Finally we're regrouped. One last headcount is made. Our spirits, including those ofthe injured, don't falter, although everyone is wet, tired and physically and emotionally drained. Concernfor self is overshadowed by concern for others. Everyone works together and reassures each other thewhole way. We arrive at the cars and van as darkness falls. â€¢ The recollections of those involved were pieced together at a meeting, five days after the climb, suggested by its leader, Nick Winslow. At themeeting, Pete Vergel, who was behind Ryan when the slide occured, explained what happened. "Ilooked up and saw a rock about two feet by two feet rolling toward the rope lbetween me and Clare.About two seconds later more rocks came down, mostly toward Clare. She was trying to get out of theway, but the rock she was standing on started to move. "I heard a slam and saw a rock about the size of a car start tumbling toward her. I thought for sure she was going to get crushed. "The boulder caughtthe rope and started pulling toward the slide. The rope broke. I remember seeing the boulder roll towardClare and Clare disappearing. "I didn't know if it had crushed her or rolled by her. I had a feeling for theworst. When the rocks cleared, Clare was on her stomach and was calling for help. "I was as scared asI ever was in my life. I was even more scared after the second slide., "I'm glad no one was killed." Ryanrecalled: "I remember being pounded in the head. I was wishing I'd be knocked out. I wanted to beunconscious. I didn't want to take it any more. The slides took me down on my back. Rocks kept hittingme in the back of the headâ€” constant pounding. Boom, boom,boom. "I really don't remember muchafter that. I couldn't see very good." Ryan was taken to the hospital. She didn't have a concussion, butbruises cover most of her body. Had she not worn a helmet and backpack, her injuries could have beenmuch worseâ€”possibly fatal. She suffered headaches for more than a week. Jameson's ulna, the boneof the forearm on the side opposite the thumb, was smashed. Stainless steel screws and a plate wereused to set the bone. A cast on his right arm extends from his hand to his armpit. The radial nerve in hisright arm is damaged and he has to wear a brace. He should regain all feeling in his arm within twomonths, however. The rock that hit him "was the size of a TV, but I'm not really sure," Jameson said. "Ithappened so fast. As soon as I could get up, I ran down the mountain. From all the shouts I heard (fromclimbers wanting to know if he was all right), I thought that more rocks were coming down. " Winslow,with the advantage of hindsight, explained what mistakes possibly were made. "The group size was toolarge," he said. "We'll probably limit the size from now on to about 10 people. You can't have clearcommunication between everyone when you (the rope- teams) are that far apart. Communication isextremely important with any type of climbing. "The weather was a big factor, but when you climb in theCascades, you have to expect bad weather," he said. "I couldn't predict the slides." - , Winslow climbedthe North Twin Sister the weekend before to scout the route. The Outdoor Program (OP) will teach moreseminars on techniques and what to expect when climbing, Winslow said. "We are not a guide service.We want to teach the skills so that they (climbers) can enjoy outdoor experiences on their own and relyon themselves. "Then the OP can provide them with experienced climbers to organize climbs," he said.All of the climb leaders have five to eight years experience. "We're stressing the risk involved," JoeOrdonez, the Outdoor Program's director said. "Anything can happen. Some things you can control andsome things you can't. It (the rock slide) was tragic, unfortunate, but it's best to learn from. it. Both theOP and the people involved learned a lot. I think everyone gained a lot of respect for the wilderness. Withany experience that happens, there is something that can be gained from it." Ordonez said climbersmust prepare for theworst and hope for the best.' 'Then you can deal with most situations that comeupâ€”and have a great time because you're ready for anything." The Outdoor Program's philosophy is:"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime." "We want to teachpeople how to climb, give them a feel for the basics," Ordonez said. "Being in the mountains takes years of experience. We want people to become more aware outdoorsmen." The climbers â€” most wereinexperiencedâ€” praised, the leader's clear thinking and immediate action. The positive attitude of theleaders, with their constant reassurances, prevented everyone rom panicking. "It was like being in a badcar wreck" Wickstrom said. "No one lost their cool, which is essentialin such a situation." â€¢ I, as theothers on the climb, learned the basics and something beyond what can be taught by others. I learnedsomething about myself and gained profound respect for a force greater than mine. Despite the rockslide, everyone on the climb wants to continue pursuing mountains. The unsuccessful climb of the NorthTwin Sister was successful in that no one was seriously â€¢hurt, and everyone gained somethingvaluable. "I'm not going to quit," Ryan said. "It'll be awhile before I try something like this again, though.I'm really lucky. ---------- Western Front - 1982 November 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, November 2, 1982 Candidate forums greeted with apathy Western rapidly ismoving toward the selection of a new president, but not too many students seem to care. The turnout atvthe first two Associated Students-s p o n s o r e d presidential finalists forum has been embarrassinglylow, even among those students who actively engaged in the uproar last spring resulting from the Boardof Trustees decision to limit student representation on the initial search committee. Western studentstake pride in their concern about the university. But it sends a rather confusing sign to presidentialcandidates when only a handful of students show u p to hear them speak. Whoever is chosen presidentwill wield tremendous influence over the future of this university. If the president thinks Fairhaven Collegeis an outdated idea, the college indeed will be threatened with extinction. If he thinks academic standards should be toughened, then that too, probably will become fact. Presidential finalists will avoid specificanswers to the toughest questions. But they will provide glimpses of their attitudes and considerableclues to the sort of policy they would bring to Western. The visits of these men have been announced bythe Associated Students and amply publicized. Students who ignore the forums are wasting a valuableopportunity to look into their own futures. The next forum, featuring the University of Nebraska's HansBrisch, takes place at 1:30 Friday in the Viking Union Lounge. More nuclear trash headed for state TheTri-Cities in Eastern Washington, unlike the rest of the state, doesn't seem to mind being a dumpingground for nuclear waste. News of intentions to send even more of the lucrative radioactive waste to theHanford Nuclear Reservation will, no doubt, raise few protesting voices in an area that derives two-thirdsof its economy from the nuclear industry. The Hanford Nuclear Reservation now receives about 45 percent of the nation's nuclear waste. With the recent closure of a Nevada nuclear waste site (by order of thatstate's Board of Health) Washington will receive new record levels of nuclear waste. Recently pegged as"A City That Loves Nukes'' in a recent Newsweek article, Tri-Cities residents are portrayed as extremelyhappy about their prosperous relationship with the nuclear industry. Unfortunately, they give theimpression that all of Washington doesn't just want nuclear waste, but welcomes it with embracing arms. In 1980, however, the majority of Washington's citizens voted against being the nation's nuclear garbagedump. Initiative 383 prohibited transportation and storage of waste produced outside of Washington state. To the extreme detriment of our state, the measure was ruled unconstitutional last Augustâ€”andWashington now has become the nation's main nuclear dumping ground. Opposition to combat the well-off supporters of the nuclear industry has faded in the face of economic woes. The sponsors of Initiative383 plan to appeal to the Supreme Court, but it is likely the appeal will fail on an issue already ruledunconstitutional by a lower court. Most residents of Washington value the beauty and cleanliness of ourstate and to them the idea of Washington as an unlimited'garbage can for the nation's nuclearwasteâ€”unfairly and against the will of its citizensâ€”is simply appalling.

NO Reagan's titanic new epic losesone for the Gipper It's rather awkward, reviewing a movie only half-finished, but such is the structure ofthe most audacious and potentially affecting film ever attempted: "(Re)birth of a Nation," starringRonald Reagan, part one ofwhich is available for scrutiny everywhere. The producers have secured the cooperation of the United States government for their production and the aid of the American people also is requested. The .working budget is virtually unlimited; indeed, the picture attempts to includethe entire world in its scope. Unfortunately, like so many recent globebusters (that's bigger than ablockbuster), the film simply doesn't work. It loses itself in its own massive size; the char-actorscontradict themselves in word and deed; the aim of the project .is never made clear, nor its paths to thataim, nor why the goal to be achieved. In short, the film is totally unbelievable. "(Re)Birth of a Nation" isfurther' proof that making having andl spending astronomical amounts! of money doesn't ensuremiracles. Basically, the movie features Reagan playing himself as an affable boob who gains thepresidency through public relations and happy opportunism. The script then introduces policies ofsuch monumental dumbness as to defy credence. For instance: Everyone talks about Reagan's publicsupport, but we're never shown it. Certainly, he has many things we all want and can inden-tify with: asuccessful divorce, the Hollywood lifestyle, a retired Barbie Doll for a wife and, of course, he's rich and famous, doesn't Shaun 'McClurken know anyone who isn't and may not believe in any other state ofbeing. Reagan portrays himself as a hero, a man of action, a doer rather than a thinker. His reality isanchored by the current fiscal year and he tolerates no whimsy. Today's problems are met withgenerations-old solutions. He is a disciple of the prophet Profit: Rich is Right; poverty is your own faultand sinful besides. The world needs saving and Reagan sets out early to do itâ€”by beating theRussians at their own game. While it should be understood that Russia is a ruthless militarydictatorship, operating on a wartime economy since World War II, wherein human rights encompassunthinking obedience and mere doubt is treason in the eyes of the liars, cheats, mind-rapers, man-eaters and dream crushers who run things, everyone knows anything a Communist can do, anyRepublican can do better. As depicted, Reagan's domestic aims are even more unfathomable.The supposed cure to the nation's ills are to give the federal government's duties to the states, invest the federal monies in nuclear war machines and turn domestic policy over to the great corporations andmanufacturers, who have proven their worth by giving the world McDonald's, Coca Cola, acid rain,Trident, MX and Three Mile Island. Once again, money is assumed by its mere presence, to bringwisdom, justice, and to merit the love and trust of one's inferiors. Where are the Sixties when youreally need them? Sole explanations for all this appear to be contempt for their audience or completeincompetence. The movie is being sold as a Ronald Reagan vehicle, stressing his image over thesubstance of the movie. In fact, no producers or directors are listed, and you are apparently asked tobelieve "Nation" is a one-man show, Reagan's own great big home movie. However, this goes againsthis; record as someone who does and says what he's directed, whether: as actor, corporate spokesman for General Electric, or, presumably, as servant of the people of California. Perhaps the movie is,after all, a black comedy, melodrama, or even allegorical warning. One way or another, part two shouldcontain the pay-off to part one's set-up. How does "Nation" end, and what will be the effect on us here in reality? Andâ€”who really is behind the show?

Future jobs, access to entertainment and retail stores and the health of the Bellingham community are at stake under Proposition One. Privatedevelopers have combed Whatcom and Skagit Counties to locate a place to construct a majorregional mall. There are now three possible locations: the town of Burlington in Skagit County, the Wilder Farm on the Guide Meridian, and downtown Bellingham. The realities of free enterprise dictate that amall will be built whether we like it or not. Proposition One will determine if the mall is to beconstructed in Bellingham. A downtown mall would include three â€¢major department stores andscores of smaller shops in a glass-enclosed building along Railroad Avenue. The mall is part of a majordowntown redevelopment project planned cooperatively by the city, Sutter Hill, Ltd. and the DowntownDevelopment Association. Financing will come from private and federal funds and public bonds to bepaid off by new revenues from the mall's commercial activity. . Two years of mall construction willprovide 1,000 construction jobs and approximately 1,200 permanent retail sales jobs. Downtownredevelopment will offer Western students a greater selection of stores, a new entertainment centerand hundreds of part-time jobs. If today's voters say yes to Proposition One, the city will be prohibited from floating the bonds needed to finance improved parking, without which the downtown mall cannot be built. Two studies have concluded that-a regional mall located outside of Bellingham would lead to a44 percent downtown vacancy .ate and an 80 percent loss of city tax revenue. Even John Kole, theowner of Johnson's Towing Company and instigator of Por-position One, admits that if the downtown plan does not go for-, ward, many of the current downtown businesses will leave. The Bon Marnhe and J.C. Penney would be among the first to go. Kole, who was an unsuccessful city council candidate lastyear, hopes that new offices and residential development will fill the vacuum. Dream on John. Thepassage of Proposition One will mean fewer stores and fewer jobs. Reduced city tax revenues couldthen lead to new ' tax increases or cuts in city services such as public transit.

Vote no "on Proposition One.â€”Greg Sobel A plea to save Huxley Western Front: The University administration is forced to pinpointprograms that may be dispensable during this period of economic hardship. I respect their positionand acknowledge the difficulty behind the decisions they must make. But I must express that oneprogram which absolutely must not be eliminated or consolidates is that of Huxley College ofEnvironmental Studies. If environmental studies were placed under the auspices of a new College ofSciences, the social science component of Huxley would eventually disintegrate. The fundamentalvalue and significance of Huxley lies in its interdisciplinary approach. Environmental problems are ofsuch magnitude as to elude resolution merely through scientific scrutiny. The problems exist in asocial setting. Analysis of their causes, consequences and solutions must also draw upon the socialworld. There must be communication between the social sciences and the hard sciences for effectiveproblem solving to occur. I urge all concerned students, Huxley and non-Huxley alike, to attend ameeting on Thursday, November 4 at noon in Environmental Sciences 100. We will discuss whatactions we can take to preserve the integrity of Huxley College. If you recognize the importance ofmaintaining open exchange and communication between both ends of the scientific spectrum, comeand express your support at the meeting. â€”Valerie Smith Draft Talbotâ€” end ritual Western Front:I've been watching our campus go through the ritual of bringing in the five presidential "finalists" and I'vebeen wondering: Why doesn't the Front do a poll of the students and ask themâ€”whom do they favor? Iknow we're not exactly regarded as a "fund of wisdom" but wouldn't it be an interesting experiment, thatjust might raise the students' awareness of this rather important issue, if the Front did this? Frankly, Ithink the Board of Trustees could save the state a lot of money and needless worry about the quality ofthese five gentlemen and keep the president we already have: "acting" President James Talbot. Iunderstand that he has said that he doesn't really want the job, but perhaps we could "draft" him via apoll? Peter Ramsey Thank you and no thank you Western Front: We want to thank Don Jenkins forwriting the article in Friday's (Oct. 22) edition of the Front about the home economics department's"Spanning the Spectrum" exhibit. By having the exhibit, we hoped to clarify the focus of homeeconomics. It stresses the interrelatedness of individuals and families with their physical and socialenvironment. As stated in the article, "Larra-bee (acting chair of the home economics department) saidthe department has been fighting a battle for years to change the image of a home economics major assomeone who only cooks and sews." The headline, "Home ec's image keeps cooking" clearlycontradicts this statement. While pointing out that home economics majors should not be stereotyped in cooking and sewing roles, the Front did just that in writing the headline. We hope that people readbeyond the stereotypical headline to the positive article. ^ â€”Susan Leonard â€”Nanette Jimenezâ€”Amy Parrish â€”Kyle Neese â€”Joni Petrica â€”Lana Dorsett â€”Cheryl Knuckey â€”Nancy Woolley â€”Connie Walser ---------- Western Front - 1982 November 2 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Tuesday, Novembers 1982 1 "7 | % a | - r A n # - Unemployment high â€¢ * p t ? l OCT111. in Whatcom County By SETH PRESTON If you're having trouble finding a job in Whatcom County,you're not alone. Unemployment has reached almost 17 percent in Whatcom County and with nochange anticipated in the state or national economies, it probably vvill stay high. Since 1970,unemployment in Whatcom County and elsewhere in the state consistently has averaged above thenational rate. The unemployment rate in Bellingham, however, recently dropped to 10.8 percent from11.5 percent a month ago, according to figures released Friday by Gov. John Spellman's office. Stateunemployment now is at 10.9 percent, down from 12 percent in September, the Associated Pressreported. The rate still remains above the national unadjusted figure of 9.7 percent. Some experts,however, say government statistics don't include those who have given up looking for work. In WhatcomCounty and other areas in Washington, persistently high unemployment partly is due to the seasonalnature of agriculture and key industries, such as food processing, construction and trade. "It's a prettygrim outlook," said Neil Morrison, director of Eellingham's Employment Security Department. Morrisonsaid recent graduates have to compete with older alumniâ€” alumni who are unemployed, but have some job experience. He said some graduates in technology and other technical areas probably will farebetterâ€” but in some place other than Whatcom County. "I really doubt they would find work here."Morrison doesn't foresee growth in job opportunities soon because of the sluggishness of WhatcomCounty's economy.

"The best thing graduating students can do is take looking for work aswork itself," said Neil Morrison, director of Bellingham's Employment Security Department. Morrisonsaid potential employees should start their job searching in the early morning, make phone lists ofemployers' telephone numbers and be energetic. "It's a good idea to talk to Mends and relativesbecause it links people," Morrison said. Planning and enthusiasm are essential to job hunting, saidLouis Lallas, director of Western's "Career Planning and Placement Center. "The minute studentsbecome seniors and start thinking of finding jobs they should come to us. We can help them developjob search skills." Such skills include preparing letters and resumes and perfecting techniques for job interviews. Some students even research prospective employers. Students go to companies and talk with them before deciding to apply for work, said Bob Th*rs^' associate director of the center. Students can aim too high, expecting to start with an ideal job. After a while they become more realistic andlower their expectations, Morrison said. But such contentedness can be a problem. "People might takejobs they don't really want, just because they feel they have to," Lallas said. "This causes too much job dissatisfaction." BIRTHDAY CARDS 1220 NO. STATE ST. ORPHEUS DESCENDING by TennesseeWilliams Nov. 17-20 at 7:30 PM Nov. 21 at 2:15 Main Stage Admission Student $1.50 ---------- Western Front - 1982 November 2 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, November 2, 1982 Western Front 7 A question of power sparks council debate By ERICDANIELSON After unanimously deciding to continue using the current system to plan for the future, thePlanning Council last week erupted into a debate over its own purposeand responsibilities. , Currently,the council uses the "review factors" contained in the 1981-82 institutional plan to determine "theallocation, reallocation and reduction in resources for individual programs" in what originally was termed an advisory position. The debate began after the main motion passed when John Moore of the businessdepartment said he believed allocation of resources should be done by the administration and not by acommittee. "This committee has no responsibility for what happens in programs, but the dean does. It isa tortured organizational arrangement for us to allocate resources," Moore said. "If the administration iscompetent then let them do their jobs." Marvin Olmstead of the speech department 'responded bydefending the committee system. "I'm not terribly afraid of democracy even though it is a long andponderous process. A council such as this is directly accountable to constituents," Olmstead said.Olmstead said the council only was an advisory group and real power still lies with the provost and thedeans in making final decisions. But Council Chairman James Albers seemed to question the advisoryrole. "This is a very influential body and our recommendations are always accepted even though theprovost claims to have the final power," Albers said. Olmstead continued to express his fears of theinstitution being run as a business venture, while Moore complained that the committee process was tooslow and ineffective. "Western must be the most reactionary of state institutions in reading students'changing needs," Moore said. He explained further his main concern was that student interest inprograms has changed while program funding has stayed the same. t "The committee process is veryreluctant to accept market changes and adjust offerings for what, students want," Moore said."Forexample, the math and computer science programs have remained the same size even though much student interest has shifted to these areas." "I would be loathe to see administration control thedirection of this institution alone," Olmstead said. But, Moore responded, "We would change morerapidly and be more responsible if the deans and iprovost did the jobs they were paid for." At the end ofthe meeting, the council recalled the days before former President Paul'Olscamp arrived at Western,when advisory committees didn't exist. In those days, the university was run by the president and his"kitchen cabinet." Both sides of the debate agreed they didn't desire to return to that era and adjournedwith what resembleda consensus between opposing views. Secret files spark furor (Continued frompage 1) making copies was completely legal. According to paragraph 514, "Permanent confidential filesof reports are maintained by the Testing center as a convenience for the instructor." When askedwhether the making of copies is explicitly sanctioned by the paragraph, Blood hotly replied, "Howare you going to make files without having copies?" Blood expressed surprise that his release hascaused such a fervor. "I wasn't aware that they weren't aware," he said. "The policy of makingcopies has been in existence since the begining of the current student evaluation program. We do itbecause faculty want copies when they're trying for tenure or promotion." Blood stressed the fact thatany copies are the property of the individual faculty member. If they desire to remove all their copiesfrom the center, Blood said, they have every right to do so. Mt.

Sobel is appealing to students as a voting mass to be aware not only of the ambiguous wording of the initiative but what itwill mean to them if it's voted down. Propositon'l prohibits the City of Bellingham from using publicmonies to fund any parking development anywhere in the city. But Sobel says the proposition opposesmuch more than that. Sutter Hill Ltd., a private developing company, plans to spend about $50 million tobuild a 48,000-square-foot shopping mall in downtown Bellingham on Railroad Avenue between CornwallAvenue and State Street. The city, through several sources, will allocate $15.8 million for sewer, roads,fire and police protection to make the mall possible. â€¢ ' ' ~ Sobel stressed that* the money will comefrom federal grants, $7 million in city bonds and Sutter Hill Ltd., and not from higher prices or taxincreases to citizens, which he thinks the voters may suspect. The bonds will be paid off by more than$950,000 in new revenues generated solely by the new downtown businesses. Two major departmentstores must agree to locate in the new mall before work on the accompanying parking garages can begin, preventing the city from over-extending itself financially for the garages, Sobel said. Former city councilcandidate John Kole filed the proposition, basing his argument on his belief that the public should not beinvolved in subsidizing private development. He has said he views it as an improper use of taxpayers'money. Sobel said that if a mall is not built in downtown Bellingham, but rather in Burlington or on theGuide Meridian, approximately 44 percent of the businesses in the downtown area will relocate in thenew mall. The Bon Marche and Penney's have said they will move to the mall wherever it is, Sobel said.He said the mall must be located downtown or the city will lose 80 percent of its revenue from thedowntown area. One thousand construction jobs also will be lost if the initiative passes, he predicted."The proposition hasn't really been brought to the students but it affects them deeply. A downtown mallwill create approximately 1,200 jobs in retail sales and a larger variety of consumer goods," Sobelpredicted. Blood drive is this week Open your heart and extend your arms to Western's blood drive Nov.4 and 5. That's what Puget Sound Blood Program leaders are asking. They consider Western students"outstanding" donors, said Jeanne Mitchell of the Health Center. Last fall quarter a record 688 units ofblood were drawn during the drive. This quarter the goal is at least 300 units of blood each day, Mitchellsaid. â€¢ Twenty-two beds will be available at the drive, so the flow of donors is expected to continueuninterrupted.

J ---------- Western Front - 1982 November 2 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, November 2, 1982 Pianist plays 'instrumental' music role PHOTO BY GARYLINDBERG By BARBARA WAITS In these trying times for higher education, when community relationsare important for Western, one woman feels the music department can be "instrumental," so to speak.Nancy Bussard, Western's piano accompanist, said she came to the university in the early 1960s byvirtue of open contact with Bellingham's music community. Bussard said she was asked to work part-time after she was heard playing with community groups. She continues to perform with women'sgroups, high school students and the Bellingham'Chamber Music Association. Bussard first joined themusic department as an affiliate piano teacher. In 1965, when Western's focus was moving towardperformance "spot light" skills, Bussard became the university's official accompanist for students, facultyand groups. "I'm now one of the old-timers," she boasted playfully. Bussard also boasts about thestudents with whom she works. "By the time students come to me, they are mature musicians," shesaid. "They know their music and are well disciplined." In 1976 music majors returned Bussard's highpraise. In the middle of a wind ensemble program, and with much fanfare, the quiet pianist was presented with a scroll telling her a scholarship in her name had been raised by a group of students. The NancyBussard Scholarship is awarded to pianists who want to go into accompaniment. Bussard sees her roleas one of listener and follower, she said. "You have to lose yourself and go along with the student. I'vesoloed and I know how it feels to be a. soloist." Bussard said she plays in 35 to 40 programs a year atWestern. Each performance has between six and eight weeks of practice time behind it, Bussardestimated. 'Oh, we stay busy," she said. Bussard said her family's understanding is one reason she can adhere to her demanding schedule. Her husband and three children all play instruments. "That might be why they're so understanding," she said. Originally from southern Arizona, Bussard started playing thepiano at age nine. She took lessons when a teacher was available. Bussard learned to sight read musicearly so that she could practice between teachers, she explained. At one point, Bussard traveled 200miles once a week to the nearest instructor. Bussard studied voice and piano at Whitman College inWalla Walla. In 1946 she won a radio contest in Bisbee, Ariz., and reigned as "Bisbee's Best" on thepiano accordian. Bussard said she still gets nervous before a performance. "Everyone does, I think, butnervousness can get you to the point that you're razor sharp," she said.

Bynaming it " . . . famous last words . . . , " one would expect some sort of final-album blues to seep intothe grooves, or at least a collection of those-were-the-days sentiments strung through the harmonies.Instead, the album is a hodge-podge of all the comfortable Supertramp styles of old that doesn't attemptto tread any new paths. Scissors are the first things one notices about the album. Scissors r-.-i thecover that ,are about to cut the rope the highwire artist is walking on, scissors printed on the label of thedisc, even scissors printed on the inside of the album jacket. This must be the band's way of acceptingthe fact that their reign as one of the most popular groups on radio soon will be over, almost likechoosing their own coffins. The use of instruments on the album's nine selections is restrained, and inturn focused. The band uses only the instru-mations of coping with mixed up worlds and broken love.The sparkle of songs such as "Give A Little Bit" or "Sister Moonshine" has gotten weaker for the band,leaving "It's Raining Again" as more of an Archies song than a Supertramp one. Squeezed between"Crazy" and "It's Raining Again" lies a pseudo-blues workout titled "Put On Your Old Brown Shoes"that serves no purpose except to give a counterpoint to the heavy doses of saccharine on either side of it. Another interesting juxtaposition occurs on side two with the shimmering beauty of "C'est Le Bon"lying next to the looming beat of "Waiting So Long." It just seems odd to have the pretty guitarwork ofthe former lead into the bombastic Pink Floydian style of the latter, complete with a guitar solo lifted from David Gilmour. "Don't Leave Me Now" probably sums up the album's title, if anything does. Pleading for patience and sounding like "Crime of the Century, Part II," it crosses ringing keyboard work with drumsthat sputter and cough up a great backbeat. Backing vocals by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart arelisted on the liner notes, but for the life of me I can't find which track they augment, unless they helpedadd to the ". . , famous last words . . ." isn't a bad Supertramp album, it's just an average Supertrampalbum, with an uneven song selection and no real direction governing it. ments needed, rather thanthrowing on every possible studio trick to weigh down the melodies. The solitary guitar on "Know WhoYou Are," for example, may not have any great solo being played on it, but it manages to convey thesense of an artist peering at his work from a position where he is able to speculate on it without thedistractions of eight- or nine-piece arrangements clouding it. The obvious cuts that will be repackagedas singles, "Crazy" and "It's Raining Again," both carry the typically cute melodies and lighthearted fluff The Tramp is known for, spicing them with the reaffir-glossy Bee-Gees-style vocals on "My Kind ofLady." ". . .famous last words . . ." isn't a bad Supertramp album, its just an average Supertramp album, with an uneven song selection and no real direction governing it. Way down at the bottom of the creditsthe band very graciously thanks all those at i A M Records for their infinite patience.

Long's Alma Mater hardly fair in 43-3decapitation of Vikes By STEVE RUPP PHOTO BY BLAIR KOOISTRA Fourteen years ago, Western'shead football coach Boyde Long was an assistant coach at what then was called Oregon College ofEducation in Monmouth, now called Western Oregon State College. Long may wish he still was a coachthere because had he stayed, he would have seen his team pummel an injury-plagued Western team 43-3, Saturday in Civic Stadium. Western was held to seven first downs, three in the first half. The Wolvesalso forced the Vikings to punt seven times. Punter Mark Moran, who had been averaging nearly 40 yardsper kick, could manage only 25 yards per boot Saturday. One reason for the multitude of Viking puntsmay have been that the Wolves, pound for pound, were bigger than the Vikings. The interior offensive linefor the Wolves dresses out at about 233 pounds per man, while the Viking defensive line, decimated byinjury, averages about 200 pounds per man. The Viking's offensive line, however, enjoyed a weightadvantage of about 15 pounds per man. The Vikings didn't use their advantageâ€”only 7 yards weregained on the ground the entire game. The Wolves, on the other hand, churned out 258 yards of offenseon the ground. Fullback Glen Hill, who picked up 112 yards in the game, scored the Wolves' firsttouchdown shortly after Shane Briggs' 27-yard field goal. After one quarter, Western was behind 6-3 butWestern Oregon scored 18 second-quarter points to put the game hopelessly out of reach. During thattime, Western Oregon quarterback Paul Lorenzen ran the option offense to perfection. He gained 31 yards on 12 carries and pitched back to tailback Greg Lawrence, who picked up 69 yards in 10 carries andscored one touchdown. Backup Wolves Quarterback Doug Roake, who threw for 262 yards last yearagainst the Vikings, must have remembered his way over the Viking defense, because he threw for 102yards and two touchdowns, mostly in the fourth quarter. "We knew they were a good team offensivelyand defensively," Long said. 'We were just out-manned from time to time." About the only bright spot inthe Viking camp at this point is the fact that nobody got hurt. This is especially important this weekbecause Western faces the leader of the Evergreen Conferenceâ€” arch-rival Central Washington. "Theyare the number one team to beat this year," Long said.

The Breakers took ariearlylead 15 minutes into the game with a run by Kathy Patterson down the right side of the field. The two-point conversion kick was good. Viking Sheree Porter managed a last-gasp scoring effort when shecarried the ball in from mid-field after breaking a tackle. She connected on the two point conversion kickto tie the score. Both teams pushed, shoved, ran and kicked the ball non-stop from one end of the field to the other. The Vikings threatened to score early, but faltered after a few good runs by the Breakers.Although the Vikings managed some good runs in the first half they were inconsistent and as a result the ball spent most of its time on their end of the field. But the Vikings came alive in the second half, andalthough they had trouble scoring, they managed to keep the pressure on the Breakers throughout mostof the half. Western coach John McCarthy was relieved when the women scored but said he thought"they didn't iplay as well as they could have." The Vikings seemed over anxious he said and sinceWestern has one of the best womeA's rugby teams in the area the Breakers were probably psyched upfor the game. McCarthy said the Breakers had the advantage because they controlled loose playâ€”thepart of the game dealing with tackling the opponent. The Viking are now 1-0-1 in the Pacific CoastWomen's League and 4-1-1 overall. Women's rugby team members are meshed in a squabble in order tolocate the ball. Western put forth a last-minute effort to tie 6-6 with the Seattle Breakers. Albertson'sDONUTHOLES 990 BAG #1 DARIGOLD MED.

The Vikings traveled to Vancouver Saturday to defeat UBC as sophomore strikerCindy Gordon scored two goals to lead the Western scorers. Junior Annette Duvall and freshman KellyBil-lingsley also added one goal apiece. Head Coach Dominic Garguile had praise for the whole team,starters and substitutes both. What Western has, he explained are "sixteen people all pulling together to have'a good ball game. These people are all very, very talented." On Sunday, the referee didn't showup, so both coaches agreed to officiate. Less than two minutes into the game, junior Kelley O'Reillystarted the Viking attack with her first goal of the day. At this point, a regular referee was found, although he was not the assigned one. He allowed the goal and the game continued. Gordon, Duvall and O'Reillyeach added one more goal in the first half while the Lutes scored one. The Vikings wasted no time incontinuing their blitz in the second half as Duvall scored with less than a minute spent in the PaulaFrench dominates the ball as does the entire team. I ts season record is an impressive 9-1. half. Juniormidfielder Tracy Stevens added a goal and Duvall completed her trick by scoring again. Junior defenderSue Swan-son rounde~d out Western scoring with a goal of her own. Despite the lopsided score,Garguile stated that PLU is a good team that just had an off day. "We were on and they were off," hesaid. "We played very well, and PLU didn't have one of their better days." He praised the Lutes' JoanSutherland as one of the better goaltenders in the Northwest, .but said, "You can't do it just using agoalkeeper and I think we proved that today." "They won't play like that again â€” we primed them for this weekend's tournament," he said, referring to the upcoming Northwest College Women's SportsAssociation regional tournament this Friday and Saturday at Lewis and Clark College in Portland.PHOTO BY CHUCK LEACH When push comes to shove, the rugby players really put their energy intothe game. ^SEAFOOD BUFFET '4.95 inthvMllinghomMall 734-0325 DINNERS INCLUDES: BBQ.Salman, grilled Halibut, breaded seafood, filet of Sole.

Coach Paul Clinton said it would be unrealistic to expect to win the tournament but Western gained insight into how they match up to unchallenged teams.. The games tested- the skills and cohesiveness, whichappear to be emerging this season at the last minute. Western met five teams during the weekend,some familiar and some not. The squad started off the tournament Friday against the near-invincible host Simon Fraser University, and lost both games, 15-2. Clinton said it was the only bad match his teamplayed all weekend. The University of Victoria was the Vikings' second opponent on Friday .Westernplayed better but lost again, 15-7 and 15-2. Western had not met UV in a game before the tournament.Western's victory last week over Trinity Western University still flowed through the Vikings' veins,pushing them onward to defeat Trinity once again, 15-6 and 18-16. Clinton said his team played well, asthe Vikings outhit, outpassed and outserved their opponents. Gonzaga University also an unmet Vikingchallenge, was match number three and loss number three for Western. The Bulldogs took the match15-11 and 15-8. Clinton said although his team lost, it was a hard-fought, long match and he said heliked it the most. "They maybe stronger than we are, but that's the only way they could beat us," Clinton said. "They didn't beat us because we made too many errors. We played a superb game." Gonzagawill partake in the district finals this year where the Vikings will have a chance to avenge their loss.Western's final match and win was against Highline Community College, 15-12, 15-3 and 15-6. Clintoncredited the Vikings' excellent playing Saturday to passing and serving and hitters Ellen Moulton, KathyWallace and Sherri McKee who had "a great day." Moulton and Wallace also did well blocking. SueJerne-gan, who suffered a mid-season serving slump, recovered by scoring several Viking points.Transition plays and Jackie Nelson's consistency in leading the team's offense also boosted the Vikings' performance Saturday, Clinton said. Western's final home game is 6 p.m. tonight in Carver Gymagainst the University of Puget Sound. Editor wanted Needed: Klipsun editor, winter quarter, 1983. Pay: $399 per quarter.
